How does the tenth brother plan to deal with himself? , after a brief moment of stunned! Later, Xu Liang asked in a very solemn tone.

Xu Wei said casually: "Follow the decision of the Xuanfu Division and retreat to Qinlong." Among the five brothers of the Xu family, he is closest to Xu Sheng, who is a "compatriot of one mother", and Xu Yuan, the eldest brother. On the contrary, the two sons of the third uncle Xu Shao do not have too much contact, although they are cousins, the number of times they meet can be counted with one hand. So, he didn't say much.

Hearing his cousin's words, Xu Liu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and looked directly at Xu Jiu: "No."

These two words surprised Xu Wei. When not? And Xu Liu's tone made him very puzzled, are you talking to me as a cousin, or are you a soothing envoy? It seems that no matter what kind of identity, you shouldn't say that, right?

"Why?" Xu Wei asked.

Xu Liang sighed, shook the hem of his official robe that was a little wrinkled, and then said: "You and the eldest brother and the fourth brother are in Shaanxi, I don't think you know the situation of Zhenjiang. ”

Xu Wei admits this, but he doesn't think it's a pity. Zhao Guanjia took his ministers to Jiangnan, and Shaanxi was Emperor Yuan, which was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing that Xu Wei didn't speak, Xu Liang continued: "When the official family left Tokyo, the edict to my father was to resolutely resist and protect Tokyo to the death. After arriving at Zhenjiang under the pursuit of the Jindong Road Army, he gave the first edict to the Tokyo Garrison Division, asking to "do your best." When the Jin army could not attack the city, and had no choice but to abandon the division and return to the north, my father wanted to send the fifth brother, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Wang Gui and other generals to restore the Daimyo and Shandong

When Xu Wei heard this, he smiled faintly. When Xu Liang saw it, he felt quite strange in his heart, but he didn't ask, and continued: "Half a month later, Xingzai informed the Tokyo Left-behind Division in the form of an official letter from the Privy Council, saying that the Jin army had plundered the Central Plains, and the safety of Xing was the top priority, and the army to be transferred to Jiangnan was to be guarded. My father stopped the order. Shangjuan protested that Shaanxi was the time to use troops, and this move must not be done

What did he stop him from? Hundreds of thousands of Western troops, there are not many who are really in charge, so they are simply transferred to the line, such as Quduan.

"When the news of the fall of Langyan arrives, Ninth Brother and guess what happened? . Xu Liang asked.

Xu Wei thought for a while and said tentatively: "Have you decided to send which chief to Shaanxi to serve as the envoy?"

"No, Shangshu's right servant and Zhongshu waiter He Li was dismissed, and the ninth brother guessed again, who is the successor?" Xu Liang asked again.

Xu Wei shook his head, He Li is the main battle faction, and after Li Gang was deposed, he was the representative of the main battle of the ruling government of the DPRK and China. Now that he has been dismissed, does it indicate that the policy of the imperial court is about to change again? Hey,**What are you doing with that idleness, you can do whatever you like in Jiangnan.

When Wu Min and Xu Liang said this name, Xu Wei still felt a little unfamiliar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that Wu Min was the one who worked with Li Gang to persuade Zhao to estimate Zen. He was a close minister of the Son of Heaven at that time. Li Gang made up his mind to persuade Emperor Daojun to abdicate to the crown prince Zhao Ma, that is, he conspired with him, and finally used his mouth to tell the matter to the heavens. A new monarch ascends the throne. Reuse the heroes who helped him rise to the throne, such as Li Gang, Wu Min, and He Guan have to be reused.

But later, because Wu Min was the main battle, he was relegated to the field. Now that the Zhao Guanjia has dismissed He Li from the main battle and restarted Wu Min from the main battle, what is the reason?

When Xu Wei asked about this, Xu Liang actually smiled dumbly: "At this time and that time, Wu Min was the main fighter back then and shouted loudly, but now it is no longer like that."

Xu Wei made a posture of listening and did not interject.

The reason why Wu Min was rehired is said not to be because the official family remembered his meritorious work back then. It was because Wu Min wrote a sparse article explaining the reasons for the Jurchen invasion of the south. He believes that the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty and the Eastern Route Army was annihilated, which can be described as heavy losses. It is said that they should recuperate for a few years and accumulate strength, and the reason why they are so quick to rise again is because the Western Army abandoned the Jingkang Peace Conference and took the initiative to attack Li Zhi in Hedong, which made the Jurchens angry and raised troops again.

He believed that in order to stop the war, he should first recognize the "Jingkang Peace Talks" and then negotiate peace with Jin. ”

His remarks were supported by some ministers of the DPRK and China, especially Xiang Geng Nanzhong. According to rumors, it was Geng Nanzhong's strong recommendation to the official family, and recalled Wu Min's support in the past, that the official family decided to re-employ him. ”

Xu Wei listened to this and did not express any opinion. He didn't bother to say it, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid that even Geng Nanzhong, who was closest to him, couldn't figure out his pulse, and he wanted to fight for a while, and then he would make peace, whether it was war or peace, he couldn't last long. The major policies of the imperial court have been changed repeatedly, and the candidates for the prime minister have been changed from one to another, and none of them can be insisted on for three or five years. Now I want to negotiate peace again, let's talk about it, it's my business.

Xu Liu saw that Xu Wei still didn't speak, and he felt very strange in his heart, you don't express your opinion on such a big matter? Although Wuchen does not participate in politics, but this is our brothers, what do you care? "What is the attitude of the third uncle?" Xu Wei finally spoke.

"Father's Lord Shang played against this matter, Xu Liang said very simply, without a detailed description.

"After Wu Min came to power?" Xu Wei changed color slightly. Xu Liang nodded.

That's not right, the third uncle was originally a privy envoy and one of the deacons, but he was appointed to stay in Tokyo and left the power center of the imperial court. It stands to reason that he, like Li Gang, is looking forward to one day returning to the Central Committee and participating in confidential information. In this case, if you don't keep in line with the central government and don't support the emperor's ideas, how can you have a chance to return to the center?

Xu Liang seemed to know what his cousin was thinking, and said in a wordy manner: "Father did this. Of course, there are his considerations in the small

Xu Wei raised his head suddenly, and Ran smelled an unusual smell from Xu Liu's words.

Just when the two brothers were talking in the second hall of the Xuanfu Division, Li Gang outside tried his best to persuade the people to retreat. For this reason, he even had to fool the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an, saying that the so-called "retreat to Qinlong" was just a consideration, and it was not really implemented, hoping that the people would not panic.

Looking at the people who gradually dispersed, Li Gang was relieved, but there were also people who had a gloating attitude. The decision to retreat to Qinlong was made by you, and now you say in front of the soldiers and civilians of Chang'an that there is no such thing, let's see how Xuanfu Xianggong ends?

Just as a group of officials were heading towards the hall, they saw the two brothers Xu Liang and Xu Wei striding towards them from a distance.

"What? Commoners.... Xu Liang glanced out and asked

Li Gang's face was expressionless, as if he had become numb, and the officials were also silent. Duwangshu sighed and said helplessly: "In order to persuade the people to retreat, Xuan Xiang can only say that he has not decided to retreat to Qinlong

Xu Wei glanced at Li Gang, the supreme governor of Shaanxi, Yingran is an upright and loyal person. But he has been an official for decades, and even served as a deacon, can he be in such a high position just by virtue of integrity and loyalty? His move seems to have driven himself to a dead end, but in fact, he is "forced" himself and forced himself to confess.

If it was half an hour ago, no matter how he forced it, Xu Wei still said that this battle would not be able to be fought. But at this moment, Xu Jiu stepped forward and took the initiative to concern: "Xuanfu Xianggong's move, isn't it trapped in a dilemma?"

Li Gang smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "There's nothing to do."

Xu Wei looked at him, let go of the hilt, bowed his hand, and said: "In this case, I will go to arrange the defense!" ”

In a word, the audience was shocked! How? Not returning? A considerable number of officials were strongly opposed to "retreating to Qinlong" at that time, but when they really heard Zijin Tiger's words, their hearts suddenly fell again! There are only the troops of the Shaanxi Hua Shuai Division left around Chang'an, what if Xu Jiu can't stop the Jurchens? Didn't we follow the blood luck?

Wan Qili didn't seem to have come back to his senses, and only after a while did he wake up like a dream and said: "Since Xu Jing is not retreating, then, have the officials of the departments retreated to Qinzhou?" ”

Li Gang ignored him, his body moved, and he was shaking, obviously after the big ups and downs, he was already about to collapse. On the surface, Zijin Tiger suddenly changed his course, as if he was trying to support him. But others didn't know, but he knew in his heart that when he asked like that in the second hall before, Xu Wei didn't express his position easily, at most he shook his head. But now as soon as Xu Liang came, in less than an hour, Xu Jiu decided to insist on resisting. Although he didn't know what the reason was, one thing was certain, Xu Jiu's decision, ten dozen and ten, was related to the Tokyo Left-behind Division and his third uncle Xu Shao.

In mid-July of the second year of Longxing of the Great Song Dynasty, after the Jin army found out that Xu Yuan had led the army back to Jingyuan, Mu Han decided to make a tentative attack on Fangzhou Yaozhou. The general of the Hujie Army who stayed here, Wu Yuan, the governor of Huazhou, relied on the favorable terrain to resist the Beiyi in present-day Huangling County, Fangzhou. In this battle, Wu Phosphorus pioneered the concentration of all strong bows and crossbows, and called it the "garrison team." "But instead of thousands of arrows as in the past, they took turns to shoot and kill, keeping the arrows endless! As long as the enemy is within range, there will be no pause in the arrows! With hundreds of casualties, the Jin army ceased its exploration of the north of Chang'an. Mu Han also sent Pucha Shi Jianu to lead his troops to the north to make a test and go to Qingyang Mansion, where Quduan was seated. Shi Jianu left Langzhou and marched north, and before he saw the shadow of the Song army, he was already dizzy. The Daqiao Mountain system, which runs through the north and south, has become a natural barrier around Qingyi Road. The endless mountain peaks rise and fall one after another, and it is not easy to wander around in the mountains for a few days, looking for the road to the north, but it is impressive that Quduan has already laid down soldiers and horses at the entrances of the west foot of Qiaoshan in the north of Qingyang Mansion. And because of the needs of the Western Army for the summer war in the past, countless barriers, camps, and military towns were built in this area, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Shi family slave returned in a huff and reported to Sticky Han that in this area of Qingyang Mansion, let alone fighting, he would be dizzy at a glance. Unless our Jurchen warriors are all copper-headed and iron-headed, they will not be able to easily crash into it.

At this time, within the Jin army, there was a serious disagreement about how to march next. According to the strategy before crossing the river, it was necessary to first attack the three roads on the edge, that is, the Western Army's Langyan Jinglu Pacification Division, Huanqing Jingluo Pacification Division, and Jingyuan Jingluo Pacification Division. Ma Wu put forward this strategic concept because the Western Army was not united. If you directly hit the Guanzhong Plain and Chang'an, and the western army is no longer united, then Chang'an City is a place where Shaanxi's military and political priorities are concentrated, can you not come to the rescue? But the three roads on the edge are different, not only did they avoid the Purple Gold Tiger Xu Wei, but other generals in Shaanxi would not come to the rescue easily, and they were easy to break through.

Now that Langyan has arrived, the next step should be to enter Yaozhou. Although the terrain in the north of Yaozhou was unfavorable to the Jin army, the area around Sanyuan County in the south was also close to the Guanzhong Plain. The Jin army used this as a springboard to attack Qingyang Province to the west. There is no need to worry about the fierce reaction of Chang'an, although Yaozhou and Jingzhao Mansion are close to each other, there is still some distance from Chang'an, not to mention that there is a Weishui in the middle.

Until the capture of Yan'an, Mu Han still agreed with his strategy. But now, through reconnaissance, it was learned that Huanqing Quduan was well guarded, and the Hu'er army was based in Tongguan City, Shaanxi Province, north of Fangzhou and Yaozhou. The Jin army was blocked in both the west and south, and Mu Han was a little skeptical about the correctness of Ma Wu's strategy.

Jiezhou City

Since the Jin army occupied this place, everything that could be robbed was almost gone, and what could be demolished was almost demolished. The men in the city, they didn't die. Those who could survive were basically driven to repair the city defenses. The Jin army intends to gain a foothold in Langyan, so Langzhou City is an important fortress on the periphery of this road.

At the gate of the north city of Langzhou, Yelu Ma Wu was dressed in Hanfu, neither armor nor blades, standing outside the city with both sides on his back, looking north from time to time. Behind him, there were several Han officials, whispering and discussing something. Although it is the beginning of autumn, the autumn tiger is still strong, but Ma Wu and the others are obviously not standing here for a while, and they don't know what important people they are waiting for.

After a while, a group of horses rushed to the north post road, about 100 or so horsemen, most of whom were Jurchen knights. There were five or six people, but they were wearing Song court official robes. Ma Wu saw. The hand behind his back let go, and with a smile on his face, he stepped forward to greet him.

The horse team rushed to the front of the horse, the Jurchen horse army did not move, only the five or six Han people turned over and dismounted, one of them was seven feet tall, wearing a red robe, and the waist should have been a gold belt, but now it was replaced by an ordinary woven silver belt, about forty and less than fifty years old, with a square face, large thick eyebrows, and a finger-long beard tufted on his cheeks and chin.

Ma Wuchong hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Zhang Jingluo has worked hard all the way. ”

This person is Zhang Shen, the former marshal of the Western Army Langyan who surrendered to the Jin Army in Yan'an City some time ago, and when he saw Yelu Mawu coming to greet him in person, he was a little flattered, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The prime minister is too much love, and Zhang is ashamed."

Ma Wu turned to the side and gestured and asked: "The Minister of State has prepared a banquet in the Shuai's Mansion, one is to celebrate, and the other is to pick up the wind for Zhang Jingluo, please."

Zhang Shen didn't even dare to say that he didn't dare, and went to the city with Yelu Ma Wu. After entering the city, I saw that the people were everywhere, and they were all carrying stones and strengthening the city walls under the eating, drinking, and whipping of the Jin soldiers. The subordinates who did not look behind him looked around, their expressions restored

When they came to a wider street, a group of generals saw a crowd of people in front of them. When they got closer, it was the Jin army who beheaded the Han people everywhere. There was a man wearing a gauze hat, standing in front of the Jin army, and shouted to the people around him, to the effect that these handful of birds wanted to escape from the city, and they were arrested, and now they are beheaded in the city, so as to police and disturb the people. Seeing that the faces of several generals had changed greatly, Yelu Ma Wu smiled secretly in his heart, urging them to go to the Shuaifu.

In front of the gate of the Shuaifu, Ma Wu entered first, and when Zhang Shen and the others were about to enter, they were stopped by the guards and pointed to the sabers on their waists, meaning that they had to remove their blades before entering. Zhang Shen and the others had no choice, and after handing over their weapons, they entered the Shuaifu.

At that time, the Jurchen nobles in that hall gathered. Zhang Shen saw that Mu Han set up the banquet in the lobby of the Yamen of Langzhou Zhizhou, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, the Jurchens didn't understand that this was a place to handle official business.

Seeing Zhang Shenlai, who was on top of the house, and was rarely smiling with the generals, Mu Han said something loudly in Jurchen language, anyway, the generals of all the ethnic groups in the Jin Kingdom below looked at him and laughed loudly.

"Humble Zhang Shen, meet the Minister of State". Zhang Shen led the general forward and paid a big salute to Sticky Han.

Holding the wine glass in one hand and a leg of mutton in the other, Mu Han opened his clothes, revealing his strong chest, and said loudly: "Get up!" Seated! ”

Zhang Shen waited for a look, and saw that their seats were relatively high, so they sat down. The net sat down, and Sticky Han came down with the wine jug, and Zhang Shen, who was so panicked that his butt was not hot, hurriedly got up.

"My Jurchen was able to take Langyan, because Zhang Jingluo was good at understanding current affairs and vigorously helped. Our Jurchens are the most faithful, don't worry, Yan'an is still yours! Come, have a drink! Sticky Han filled Zhang Shen with a glass. The latter quickly got up, and after listening to Yelu Mawu's commentary, he said that he didn't dare.

"The Northern Army is good at fighting and invincible in the world, not to mention that the Prime Minister is personally in charge?" Although what Zhang Shen said was flattering, the expression on his face was serious.

Sticky Han was very happy to hear this, and after having a drink with him, he turned around and greeted: "Because of Zhang Jingluo's righteousness!" My Jurchen warriors are missing the senseless sacrifices, shouldn't you wait for a toast? ”

When those golden generals heard this, they rushed over with wine jugs to toast Zhang Shen. At the beginning, he could barely support it, but the amount of alcohol in these Beiyi could not be compared to even the military ministers who had been in the army for so long. After dealing with four or five, I really couldn't drink it. Just when there was a big hole in his face with a stammer, as if he had been robbed and stabbed in the face, the Jurchen nobleman poured him wine again, Zhang Shen hurriedly blocked it, and said with a smile: "This is a good amount of wine, but I am really not strong enough to drink, beg for a moment, beg for a moment."

This Jin general finished calling Yan Yinshuke, he couldn't understand Chinese, but when he saw Zhang Shen blocking his wine glass, he immediately made it! This silver technique seems to have drunk a lot, and he was angry, and a glass of wine was splashed on Zhang Shen's face! didn't wait for the other party to come back to his senses, he ripped off the veil hat on his head again, continued to grab the collar, and scolded indiscriminately in Jurchen language.

Zhang Shen's head was hot, and he reached out to grab his wrist! But suddenly thinking of his current situation, his outstretched hand could only be retracted.

Fortunately, at this time, Yeluma was about to get up and try to pull the two apart, but Mu Han also shouted loudly, and Yinshu let go. stared at Zhang Shen fiercely for a long time, then suddenly laughed again, and returned to his seat crookedly.

Zhang Shen was anxious and annoyed, but he had no choice but to sit down and go back under the relief of Yelu Ma Wu. Looking at the subordinates in the back, their heads drooped one by one, like the death row prisoners waiting to be beheaded in the prison. After this skirmish, the Jurchen generals should eat and drink, and gnaw meat as if they had never had such a thing. Mu Han laughed with the generals for a while, and suddenly changed his words and asked Zhang Shen: "Zhang Jingluo, have you seen my army, and the Jurchen Marco is strong?" ”

"The army of tigers and wolves, attack must be defeated, and Zhang Shen replied.

"You've seen our military equipment too, sharp, aren't you?" Sticky Han asked again.

The equipment was well-equipped, and Zhang Shen wiped the wine from his face and answered loudly.

Sticky Han laughed, took a sip of wine, and then asked, "How is it better than your Western Army?"

"The Western Army can't be compared." Zhang Shen said this from the heart, at least he thought so.

"How is it better than the Tiger Army?" When Sticky Han asked, his tone softened a little.

Zhang Shen was stunned, what is the Tiger Army? Whose troops? In fact, Hu'er Army is Jin Jun's misname for Hujie Army, and it may also be a contemptuous name, so Zhang Shen doesn't know. After Yelumawu's explanation, Zhang Shen replied, "Far better." ”

"Then do you think I can take Guanzhong?" That's when Sticky Han asked the point.

Zhang Shen thought about it for a while before replying: "Nine out of ten!" ”

"Haha!" Sticky Han laughed loudly, "Zhang Jingluo is a real and honest person!" The golden generals in the hall also laughed wildly, Zhang Shen saw it in his eyes and listened to it, and he didn't know what it was like. Just think about it, did you cry so fiercely in the original battle of Dingrong?

After laughing for a while, Mu Han came to drink, took off his clothes, and called loudly: "Call a few women to accompany the wine!" ”

After the Jin army occupied Langzhou, many soldiers and horses were stationed here. These Beiyi are very unaccustomed to the hot climate, and the Jurchens' clothing is mainly fur. But on such a hot day, do you want to wear a fur coat and not cover your head? Later, starting with the officers, some people robbed the clothes of the Han people to wear, which were thin and cool. But after wearing it for a long time, the sweat is soaked, not to mention the sourness, the sweat stains are dry, and the flowers are like salt.

The Jin army gathered the women in Langzhou City and specially washed the clothes, calling it "Huanyi Courtyard, where do you want this woman to gather, can the Jurchens go up to the officers and down to the soldiers without staring with red eyes and green eyebrows?" Soon, some Jurchen officers often went to the "Huanyi Courtyard" under the pretext of insulting women and venting their animal desires.

When Yelu Mawu learned of this, he once put forward his opinion to Muhan, and now he is in an important stage of conquering Shaanxi, and he must pay attention to the will of the people. If you can fight the world immediately, you can't rule the world, and the country should go against the grain and obey it, and you can't do it. This southerner especially hates "insulting his wife and daughter", and does not take his wife seriously like the Jurchens. Now, our rebels in the occupied areas are swarming, and we must know how to buy people's hearts, even if the people's hearts are not in our country, we really shouldn't do this. As a result, guess what, Sticky Han thinks he is very right, but he rewards him to go to the "Huanyi Courtyard" to pick two beautiful ones, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in...
