Chapter 249: Hell Alive
Xu Wei turned over and dismounted. Gu Ji asked! "What's going on?" “
Zhang Qing's face was full of bitterness, and he was about to speak, looking around. Pulled him: "The yamen said, this is not the gossip of the people around the place, some greet the Zhijun, and some are well-informed, and they even come to the front to say mourning." Xu Wei didn't have time to greet him, so he thanked him for his power. With Zhang Qing, he hurried to the yamen.
The last time Xu Wei went to Jingzhao, he was soft and hard, and Li Gang finally agreed to send him more manpower. As a result, there were two, one was sentenced and the other was joined by justice. When the two of them stepped into the second hall, the general judge was inspecting the reply of the Criminal Division to Cheng Jun on the murder case in Guanxi Town. See Xu Wei arrive. Hurriedly left the public case, and quickly stepped forward to bow and said, "Xiaguan Xinzan, I have seen the Zhijun." Although this general judgment can be regarded as the deputy of the Zhizhou Zhijun, most of their grades are positive eight grades, which are far from the Zhizhou Zhijun, and take the meaning of "size system".
Xu Wei arched his hand, nodded, and wanted to talk to Zhang Qing elsewhere, but this Xin Tong judge said: "The Criminal Department said that there are many suspicious points in the Kansai murder case. There is still some scrutiny, so it was sent back to Dingrong for retrial. Acquaintance, isn't it?
Xu Weiren had already stepped out of the threshold, and when he heard this, he turned around and responded: "You just look at it."
"Yes, then the subordinate transferred the case file to the judicial army, do you think it is appropriate?" Xin Zan chased after him and asked, but saw Xu Zhijun and Zhang Jiyi, who had already taken the door and left.
After leaving the second hall, the two of them found a side room to sit down, and Xu Weicha asked before he had time to take a sip: "Tell me quickly, how is the situation in Hedong?" What did Ma Kuo do?
Zhang Qing originally pretended to have something to say. But when it came to an end, I didn't know where to start. sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "Hedong is probably afraid that it will not be guaranteed." This sentence was heard in Xu Wei's ears. It was like a thunderclap, and the southeast of the river was a situation that he had spent a lot of energy on, and Zhang San was one. A steady person, if he is not sure, he will never be untrustworthy.
If even he said so, then the situation in Hedong might have reached the point where it could not be cleaned up.
"As soon as the three-way Western Army was defeated, Li Zhi simply risked his life and attacked frantically! I guess it's going to be touched." Speaking of this, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, but it was Wang Yan and Wu Jie, who rushed to hear the news. After the two entered the house, they hurriedly made a gesture, and the opening remarks were exactly the same as Zhang Qing's.
"Lord Zhijun is finally back!"
"It's just in time, let's let Jin Qing say it. He knew the situation in Hedong best, and Zhang Qing said in a deep voice.
Wu Jie didn't have the slightest politeness, and as soon as he sat down, he said: "Zhijun, Zhaode can't hold it!" As of today, I have been holding on for forty days. It is said that the Li family's father and son buckled it with all their might, and the robes and carts stood like a forest, and the city walls collapsed."
The more Xu Wei listened, the tighter his brows tightened: "The other rebels just sit idly by?" Isn't there still an economic division? Qu Dashuai didn't make any moves? Shaanxi also turned a blind eye? ”
At this time, Wang Yan snorted coldly: "I reported it to the public, but Shuai Si didn't pay attention to it at all." ”
"I heard that Marshal Qu gave an order as an envoy to the Hedong Economic System, but because of the incident in the river, the righteous army had a deep prejudice against him, and he couldn't command it at all. As for the Xuanfu Division and the Preparation Division, it is also far away that the water can't save the near fire, besides, the Western Army is newly defeated, and its spirit is frustrated, where can I take care of Hedong. Wu Jie said with a worried face.
It is no wonder that the generals of the Hujie Township Army are so anxious, and if Zhaode is lost, it is equivalent to the loss of Hedong, and if you go west, who is the first to be unlucky, of course, is the Dingcheng Army. It was a bloody battle fought by the brothers. The basis of painstaking management, in case of failure. Haven't all the hard work of the past been in vain?
Xu Wei was naturally more anxious, and finally made Dingrong a little better, and the Jurchens couldn't take advantage of it. Stand up. I walked to the window and blew a cool breeze. His subordinates saw him thoughtfully. I didn't dare to make a noise to disturb, and after a while, I heard him ask, "How many men and horses have our army broken?" ”
This time to send troops to Hedong, the Hujie Township Army was the military capital Yuhou Wu Jie, the leader, heard that the army asked about the battle damage, so he got up and knelt on the ground to plead guilty: "Hujie 7,000 out of the river, when the withdrawal of Dingrong, only 3,000 remained. This is a lowly mistake, please know the military punishment. ”
Xu Wei shook his head, turned his back to the generals and said, "Hold you accountable, and wait until you suppress Hedong." Now Hujie can still mobilize a maximum of 13,000 or 4,000 combat troops, but I can't take all the old books. Hedong is not my Anrong's, and others have to help. ”
The remaining three people looked at each other, which is probably unlikely. This time in Hedong, Qu Dashuai rushed to the front with the Shaanxi and Chinese soldiers, especially the Huazhou Army in his own command. As a result, Fenzhou was defeated, and less than half of the entire Shaanxi Chinese soldiers returned. At this juncture, he wants others to help, and except for Xu Zhizhou in the same state, no one will respond.
"It is said that after Yao Pingzhong arrived in Shaanzhou, he trained more than 10,000 elite soldiers to fight in Hedong, what do you think of the combat strength of his subordinates?" Xu Wei asked suddenly.
It's strange, how did Zhijun come up with Yao Xiyan's idea? He is not only the head of the soldiers and horses in Shaanzhou. Or Deputy Marshal Shaanxi, no matter how you turn to transfer, right?
"The soldiers are quite strong, advance and retreat properly, and give strict orders. When Guo Zhazhen blocked, it was the Shaanzhou soldiers who fought side by side with Hu Jie, and that Yang Zaixing was particularly brave, and he had been in battle for many years, and he had never seen such a 10,000-strong enemy Wu Jie, who replied tentatively.
Xu Wei listened to it and thought secretly, although Yao Pingzhong said that he did not have a good relationship with himself, but I believe that he is not ambiguous on the issue of right and wrong, I will transfer Yang Zaixing, and then take two or three thousand soldiers, I guess he didn't say anything. The Zhang brothers of Hezhong Mansion are no longer counting. Not to mention the pro-soldiers of Huazhou Quduan, in addition to that
It's not enough to borrow some people from the fourth brother in the same state, Li Zhi is redundant, and his troops are probably not the virtue of Xiao Xishan. It's okay to just beat Li Jun, but it's not easy to do if the Jurchens suddenly come down.
There were only a few thousand people in the Jin army of Xiaoxishan, and Hujie fought extremely hard, and at that time, the commander of the army was still the barnyard general under the command of Mu Han. If you finish Yan Concubine Su and then lead 10,000 Jurchen soldiers to the south, it is okay to stick to the city, if it is a field battle......
The three of them were waiting for the show, but Xu Wei suddenly turned around and said loudly: "Wu Jie." Gather troops, drive to Kansai, Zhang Qing, prepare grain and grass, I have to go to Jingzhao early tomorrow morning. ”
The three of them were shocked at the same time! This is not a military order, who dares to move troops without authorization? Shuai Si was already at odds with the Zhijun, if he knew about it, wouldn't he have made a fuss? Even if you are in a hurry to save Hedong, you can't take your head seriously, right? Xu Wei saw that the three of them had the same expression, and then he remembered that the imperial court sent Qian Cheng to the Daimyo's Mansion to give him an edict, at this time. It is estimated that the order has not yet reached Dingrong. Then he took out the edict that he had brought with him.
Ci, Xiu, Ze, Pingyang, Zhaode recruit envoys? Shaanxi soldiers and horses in the same section? When the three of them saw that the grid book was clearly written, they each looked at each other, and they were all surprised! Now that the Zhijun has power in his hands. Then it's much easier to get things done! There is a call to make this title in, after sending troops, whether to stop or stay, whether to fight or defend, there is no need to wait for orders from above. With the power of "soldiers and horses in the same section", you can bypass the Shaanxi Hua Shuaisi, and you can transfer whoever you want, but all the soldiers and horses on the Shaanxi Hua Road can be commanded!
But right away, all three realized. The whole Shaanhua Road. Qu Duan is in charge of Huazhou, and the Zhang brothers of Hezhong Mansion are his cronies, Yao Pingzhong has been fighting with the Zhijun from the beginning, and he is still only Xu Sheng in the same state.
I'm afraid this is also the reason why Zhijun wants to go to Jingzhao.
"The intellectual, lowly thinks, before the army is dispatched. Do you send people into the land of Xiuze in advance, and order all the righteous troops to gather in Zhaode for a decisive battle. Regardless of whether they move or not, they must pass on the news that the Zhijun has recovered and is about to advance eastward! Also, Shaanzhou is the closest to Dingrong, is it an overnight transfer of troops? Vice Marshal Yao naturally asked not to move, but at least transferred Yang Zaixing to listen to it. Wu Jie suggested at the right time.
"Do it!" Xu Wei waved his hand.
Zhang Qing wanted to speak at this time, he can be regarded as the founding veteran of the Hujie Township Army, but except for a few battles during the Jingyu camp, he has hardly been on the front line since he was stationed in Mou. People have been practicing martial arts since childhood, skilled in arches and horses, and have been an accountkeeper for several years, watching the brothers be promoted by their military exploits, and they are promoted there by seniority. It's not a taste. In the past, it was said that there was a shortage of people in the Dingcheng army, and someone had to take care of the civil affairs, but now that the Xuanfu Division has sent personnel to fill the vacancy, it should be my turn, right?
"You know what you're trying to say, you can't go this time!" Xu Wei smiled at him. Forthwith. He said to everyone, "Everyone, hurry up your preparations." Let's go out as soon as possible and go to Hedong to snow the shame of defeat! Let Li Zhi know that with our Hujie Township Army, Hedong has no share in the wilderness! ”
Zhang Qing was very excited, slapped the table, got up angrily, hugged his colleagues with a fist, turned around and went out. Gather food and grass. Wang Yan and Wu rank two. It can be regarded as a reassuring pill, and 6 continued to retire. As soon as his subordinates left, the smile on Xu Wei's face immediately disappeared. As a general, he must motivate his subordinates at any time and make them confident. But he is also dumb and eats yellow lotus. There is bitterness to swallow yourself. Hedong is in danger, although he has the power in his hands, it is a problem to gather people and horses, and second. Even if the troops are gathered, whether they can arrive in time is another question. Ma Kuo, Ma Kuo, you can hold on for a few days. If Zhaode is lost, the consequences,,
I thought about it in that side room for a while, and I couldn't figure out why. I remembered that I had rushed to the Daimyo in the first place, and now I haven't even seen him in September. These days, she is also frightened and suffers from her. At the moment, I bypassed the second hall and went straight into the back courtyard. The yard was neatly tied, and a servant woman was squatting next to the melon rack to wash clothes, and when she saw Changjun coming back, she hurriedly got up to salute, but was stopped by Xu Wei and went straight to the inside.
Standing in front of the door, I was guessing what kind of expression September should have when I saw him, but the hand net stretched out, and the door opened by itself. A slightly haggard, but joyful face appeared in front of him. In those phoenix eyes, there was a little sadness, a little pity, and many emotions changed from each other, and finally turned into a soothing smile.
Xu Wei didn't know how many times he had seen this kind of smile. But every time I see it, it's like the first time, it's kind and unrestrained, as if all the troubles have disappeared. The two of them faced each other and didn't say a word, Xu Wei opened his arms, gently hugged the lady into his arms, hugged him tightly, his face was close to Jiujiu's show, and the eyes that should have been full of majesty also showed sadness. In front of his colleagues, in front of his subordinates, and even in front of his uncle Xu Shao, he is a prestigious Purple Gold Tiger, but in front of his wife,
September didn't say a word, let her husband hold her, put her hand around his back, and stroked gently. She knew that the death of her father-in-law would definitely grieve her husband, and Hujie's defeat would definitely make her husband sad. At this time, if you don't know what to do, it's up to him.
After a while, Xu Wei let go of his hand and looked at the beautiful face in front of him, he felt that after these days, there was finally something comforting.
And Zhang Jiujiu, although there are too many things in her heart to ask, she knows that now is not the time to speak. Holding her husband's hand, she tried her best to let herself go
"Door" whispers and listens to Wei to calm this gentleness this official is tired, change clothes
Xu Wei shook his head, pulled her to the edge of the bed and sat down, with many things in his heart, but he didn't want to say anything.
Zhang Jiujiu has never seen her husband look like this. After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke: "What did the official think when he knew that he was a wife when he saw you in his uncle's mansion?" ”
Xu Wei's interest in talking didn't seem to be high, but he still asked casually, "What do you think?" ”
At that time, the officials were high-spirited and talked and laughed freely. I was thinking, this man is so young, he has done such a big thing, even an important minister like my uncle looks at him differently, if it takes time? Later, the officials fought everywhere and made many military exploits, and I decided that nothing in these things could be difficult for you. Zhang Jiujiu said softly.
Xu Wei knew that she was comforting herself, patted her hand and smiled: "You are partial to me, who in this world is omnipotent?" I used to think there was nothing I couldn't do, but this time, I really ran into a tricky thing
"Do you remember that you took me to the daimyo overnight? At that time, when I heard that my aunt wanted to marry me to a random person, I was almost disheartened and didn't hide it from you. I even have the heart to die. But I always believe that you will come to me. Later, I thought, "If you don't come looking for me, I'll go looking for you." Even if you die, I want to see you too! After I got married, I kept thinking that if I hadn't taken the liberty of going to Xishuimen to find you that day, I had killed myself for a short time, or had taken a different path. Is there still today? ”
Although she said very calmly, it was not difficult for Xu Wei to hear the thrill, and after looking at the lady's face for a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "Do you want to say." Even I, a female streamer, is still like this, you Xu Wei is seven feet tall, what hurdle can't be overcome? ”
It was late at night, and there were almost no lights in Dingrong City. It's pitch black. On the tower of the city, the soldiers were guarding with guns, patrolling back and forth. In fact, in the current territory of Dingrong, the thieves have been extinct, and there is no need to maintain such a strict guard. However, who called them the Hujie Township Army?
In the night, insects chirp and cicadas chirp, one after another, the sky is full of stars, and it is very beautiful. The soldiers standing at the head of the city occasionally looked up at the starry sky and couldn't help but think. I don't know who is in the hands of Hedong's homeland now. The three-way western army went out, thinking that they could fight back to their hometown and drive away Li Yi, who knew that there would be a big defeat. Many of the brethren came back crying when they retreated, not because they had lost the battle, but because they saw their homeland under their feet being ravaged again.
"What's the sound?" When I was emotional. The comrade next to him suddenly asked.
The soldier listened to Pian Xuan and said casually: "What can you say?" Bugs scream. ”
The comrade listened for a while, and said categorically: "No! Listen carefully to this downwind! ”
At this time, another man shouted, "Listen to a bird!" Look ahead! ”
The army in the city looked forward, and sure enough, there was a red light a few miles away, and the movement was not very visible at first. Later, it turned out that this red light was coming in the direction of Dingrong City!
"Who the fuck ate leopard gall? Dare to offend me? The guards all shouted and scolded, drew their knives, and immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle, and sent people to report to the top quickly.
This night, Xu Wei didn't know that it was because of fatigue. Or for other reasons, I slept soundly. But in the middle of the night, I heard someone slamming on the door. There was a loud bang, and the two of them turned over almost at the same time. September got out of bed very quickly and fumbled to light the lamp, no one said. She took her husband's garment, and came and served him, and put it on.
"You sleep, I'll go see Xu Wei and say softly.
"Beware of some Zhang Jiu's family of soldiers, this midnight knocking on the door, if it is not an urgent matter. Who would do such a dream-disturbing thing? Hence the reminder.
Xu Wei didn't have time to answer, and rushed to the door. The door was opened in the courtyard, and now Yang Yan was with a few soldiers. With torches, they were all sweating profusely.
"What's the matter?" Xu Wei frowned and asked, I don't believe that the Jurchens have hit Dingrong?
"Brother Jiu!" Yang Yan called out and swallowed hard. "The Shaanzhou soldiers have arrived in the city."
This time, even Xu Wei's face changed! I returned to Dingrong in the morning and sent Du Feihu to Shaanzhou with an edict to transfer troops, how could I arrive now? Yao Pingzhong is so happy? Just sent Yang Zaixing? If it's true, just by virtue of this, if you don't wait to see the person surnamed Yao, the next time you see him, you have to invite someone to have a glass of wine.
At that moment, he led Yang Yan and hurried to the south gate. When they arrived at the head of the city, they saw that the guards were heavily guarded, and the soldiers who had heard the news were each armed with bows and crossbows, and guarded them tightly. Before I could look down, there was already a fire outside the city. Looking down from the city, I saw that in front of the trench, people roared and neighed. Countless torches were raised, reflecting the faces with fierce expressions. At the forefront. A soldier raised his gun and jumped on his horse, and shouted loudly: "As soon as I reported to Xu Zhijun, I said that the Shaanzhou soldiers had arrived by order!" "It's not who Yang Zaixing is!
Xu Wei was overjoyed! Just about to give the order to open the door. Suddenly there was a twinkle in his eyes! No, how many troops does Shaanzhou have? Not to mention going to Hedong to fold a few times. Now it's my own order to transfer troops. Even if Yao Pingzhong sent Yang Zaixing, he would never move the people like this.
When he was in doubt, he saw a rider running out of the crowd. yelled at the top of the house: "Xu Jiu! Don't you think I'm a thief? "Wait to see this person. Xu Wei couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, what a fucking life! (To be continued)
