Chapter 281: Return to Shaanxi

East. How could it be? The Jin army came from Hedong, and the Japanese army was confused over there, right? When he was puzzled, he heard the eldest brother of the Wang family shouting: "That apprentice Qi Liu in Wang Langzhong is so bold that he dares to stop at the fifth elder. Go and pick the medicine. Before the medicine was harvested, I heard the horse's hooves trampling on the ground. At first, he thought it was the golden dog, "so panicked that he was looking for a place to hide." But after a while, I saw a group of soldiers and horses marching, and I didn't know tens of thousands, which was really terrifying! It also happened that at this time, the Jurchen horse army patrolled there and immediately fought! Qi Liu was so frightened that his soul was gone, and he even crawled back to the town, and was changing his pants at this moment! ”

"Isn't it Xu Zhijun's troops? Someone exclaimed in surprise.

"Wouldn't it? Xu Zhijun went to Heqi a few months ago, and this Jurchen person came from Hedong, so is he still good? Someone else immediately questioned. But his words were immediately drowned out in a rebuke. Who is Xu Zhijun, you don't know? Have you heard of the Purple Tiger? Have you ever heard of it? He is the family that started by beating the Jurchen! Come on. Eight achievements are him!

Just when the people were arguing fiercely, in the wilderness more than ten miles away from Yongle Town, dozens of Jurchen horse soldiers were fleeing as if they were dead, and behind them, more than ten times the cavalry were pursuing! For a general, with a round face and big ears, extremely fat. Riding a sturdy yellow horse, armed with a big axe, is in pursuit! The subordinates beside him stretched out their bows and arrows from time to time, but whenever an enemy cavalry was shot down, the cavalry that caught up with them was crooked from a distance, and when they intersected, there was no silence of swords and guns! Enemies who are killed are immediately trampled into meat sauce!

The nearby soldiers suddenly planted their horses on the ground, and a white feather was stuck in his chest, and when Mattei saw it, he desperately urged his mount, broke away from his subordinates, and chased after him first! The wind was whistling in his ears, and seeing that the distance in front of him was getting closer and closer, Ma Er's fat man raised his big axe! The cavalryman of the Jin Army obviously felt that someone was chasing after him, and suddenly turned around and shot out, and at the same time, the big axe struck him in the right shoulder, and the whole arm flew out! There is only one person who lands, and he is trampled by a thousand hooves!

Just as the Jurchens fled for their lives, a scene appeared that made them desperate. In Yongle Town, which was about to be seen from afar, countless figures poured out, and noisy shouts came along the wind, making these people frightened! At this time, the soldier at the front of the Jin army group raised his hand and waved it to the southwest. The remaining twenty or thirty horsemen turned their horses in unison to change their position. Taking advantage of this pause, Mattei's cavalry copied it from the side!

"How! You don't shout or anything, you can't fight a hundred rounds, how can you call a horse army? That's all there is to it? Run! Keep running! Straight sissy thief! Run again! "Matean restrained the restless warhorse. shouted and cursed. His subordinates had completely surrounded this waste enemy, spears and swords formed a large circle, and the Jurchen soldiers turned their heads to look around. There seems to be an idea of fighting the trapped beast.

"Ma is in control, there is no need to talk nonsense with these birds. Slaughtered! A knight called.

Ma Tai took a sip: "That's not good, Brother Jiu said, leave some alive mouths, let them get off the horse and be bound!" ”

The cavalry shouted, but the Jurchens didn't understand what they were talking about, and Mattei raised his axe. Then he pointed to the ground and shouted, "Surrender the equipment and get off the horse!" Otherwise, it's all fucking dead! ”

The Jurchens looked at his bloody axe, his mountain-like body, and the angry enemy troops around him. and the bow and arrows that were waiting for him, and the fighting spirit finally collapsed. One of them threw his spear and rolled off his horse. It would be easy for someone to take the lead, and twenty or thirty horsemen quickly disarmed and surrendered.

As soon as Ma Tai gave the order, dozens of knights dismounted, picked up the equipment, and squeezed the Jin army together. Someone else took the rope from the saddle. One by one. Control the troops into a string and pull them up.

Yongle Town is boiling!

At the entrance of the town, the people who had been hiding at home for many days found out the old bacon hidden in the cracks of the stove and on the roof of the beam, and brought out the comfort officials and soldiers after cooking. The soldiers who rushed in received the warmest welcome, especially when the string of golden soldiers was brought into the town. The crowd was furious, and the out-of-control people almost rushed up and beat these Beiyi to death. It was still an officer who yelled: "Xu Zhao has an order from the public, and he must stay alive!" This stopped the angry townspeople.

Some of the more active babies were crawling on the low wall, excitedly watching the army passing outside the town. The majestic horses, the shining swords and guns, the mighty warriors, and the banners all make the children fascinated!

There was a sound of hooves, and a hundred and ten fierce horse soldiers rushed into the town surrounded several generals, and the infantry in front of them automatically gave way to the road, stood in place, and bowed forward to salute. There are also people who shouted: "Recruit the public!" It's been a little bit fair! ”

There was a horse in the army, and just looking at the war horse made people look sideways, it was a good horse covered in black and shiny, and there was hardly a trace of miscellaneous hair. And the people on the horse. It's even more amazing. This person is good-looking! A pair of sword eyebrows, thick and long, lined with a pair of tiger eyes! The bridge of the nose is high. The lips are thin, revealing a tenacity! Dressed in armor, with an iron helmet on his head, sprinkled with a huge black tassel! Who is this person, not Xu Wei?

Grabbed the reins and jumped off the horse, Xu Wei took a deep breath, looked around, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Lao Tzu is back!" ”

Ma Tai strode forward and hugged his fists and said: "Recruit the prime minister, and lead the troops to capture twenty-seven members of the Jin Army!" Please be fair! ”

Xu Wei nodded and said to the person beside him: "Fold the scriptures, please!" ”

This person is estimated to be in his early forties, and Xu Weidan has been promoted. But he should be half an inch short in front of everyone. Enough to be slack! The appearance of this person is a little special, because he took off his helmet, revealing a raised forehead, and under a pair of thick eyebrows, those deep eyes are not angry and arrogant! Under the large face, the thick short beard almost covers the mouth. The skin is black, like iron and steel! He is also neatly draped, carrying a horsewhip, looking at him like this. Doesn't seem like a Han Chinese?

"Xu Zhao please!" The fold of the warp waved slightly. The two walked side by side. In the open space in front of the original inspection department in the town, twenty-seven Jin soldiers were chained here, all with their heads drooping, no longer the majesty of the past. Countless angry eyes swept at these invading enemies from time to time, eager to skin them and cramp!

Xu Wei walked up to Delu and glanced at it. Then he turned around and said, "Bring someone who knows Jurchen over!" ”

After a while, two soldiers escorted a man over. In his thirties, his appearance is quite neat, judging from his few strands of beard and clothes, he also has a bit of a gentle appearance. Pushed by two men with tigers on their backs, he staggered to Xu Wei's side, and hurriedly bowed down: "The sinner has seen Xianggong."

"You are a Khitan, and you also know Jurchen texts, ask Ran them, whose subordinates are and where the troops are." Xu Wei waved his horsewhip and said.

The Khitan people bowed again, and then they said to the Jurchen soldiers. I don't know what he said, after the soldiers heard it, there was a commotion, and many people had the courage to raise their heads to look at Xu Wei. A golden soldier said a few words. The Khitan asked again, and after a few rounds, the Khitan said to Xu Wei: "They are the Jurchen soldiers, and after their fierce call is finished, the troops will be in the fortress on the west bank of the river." ”

Xu Wei ordered him to ask some questions again, and the clues he got were of little value, in fact, how could a lowest-level Jin soldier like this know the important tasks of the military aircraft? Just as he was asking, a group of people hugged the famous old man and came to Xu Wei and Na Jingluo, and before they could say anything, they fell to their knees and cried loudly.

Xu Wei sent someone to pick it up. Zhe Jingluo asked, "What are you waiting for?" In short, I will discuss with Xu Zhao to make the decision for you! ”

"The two villains are local Baozheng, the Jin army has entered the Kou, and the Hezhong Mansion has fallen into the hands of thieves. We fled into Shaanzhou and soon fell as well. When I returned to the town, I had already entered the 100-strong cavalry army, and I was plagued by my father and elders every day! Those who dared to resist were beheaded, and their families were not allowed to collect the corpses, so the corpses were exposed outside the town. and they ruined the women, and were not allowed to dress, and committed suicide in shame. Really, it's really a loss of conscience, and beasts are nothing more than that! ”

As soon as Baozheng's voice fell, the crying became louder! The people complained one after another, and they all begged the officials and soldiers for revenge. When the soldiers heard this, they were furious. If it weren't for the military law constraints, he would have stepped forward with a knife and cut down this group of beasts!

"It's easy, will you wait for the device? It doesn't matter if you go home and bring a kitchen knife, these soldiers are at your disposal Xu Wei waved his hand, and then went straight to the government office with the one who folded the scriptures.

It is not easy for the Hujie Township Army to fight back to Shaanxi. After the poison suzu led the army to Guanzhong, he left the Wanyan Yinshu who had besieged Taiyuan to lead the army, and sacrificed the "lock city method" to encircle Pingyang. The Jin army seized the city with all his might, and Xu Wei was not afraid of him, but once this "city lock law" was formed, it was really depressing. He organized several breakouts, and even used the method of digging tunnels, but they all ended in failure. And the "lockdown law" cut off the connection between inside and outside the city, which worries him the most.

At this time, someone said. The Wu brothers are still in Zhaode, and if they find out the news, they should come to reinforcements. Xu Wei is most afraid of this, there are only a few thousand Hujie soldiers and horses in the hands of Wu Jie and Wu Phosphorus, and more of them are Hedong Righteous Army, if they rush to rescue, there will be only one end, and the whole army will be annihilated.

Until one day, the soldiers who were looking through the autumn water at the head of the city showed an abnormal movement of the Jin army, which made Xu Wei realize that reinforcements might be coming. But when he organized his troops to break through again, he was still blocked back. At that time, the generals thought that he had guessed wrong, but Xu Wei was not in the north and ordered the soldiers to pay close attention to the changes in the defense of the Jin army outside the city. Two days later, Ma Kuang revealed that the Jin army had transferred troops at night, which led Xu Wei to conclude that there were friendly reinforcements coming. He decided to press the heavy and mobilize almost all his forces! After several consecutive feints to attack the south of the city, the main force broke through the city from the north gate. As a result, Wang Yu, Yao Pingzhong, Zhang Jun and other generals were confused. Because there was no imaginary tragic battle at all, they easily broke through the encirclement of the Jin army, and even calmly dismantled the antlers and horses and fortifications.

It turned out that someone did come to relieve the siege of Pingyang.

It's not an ordinary person who comes, but a very representative one of the generals of the Western Army, the Folding Army! Li Gang after the Jin army had already entered Guanzhong. After thinking about it again, he decided to send troops and horses to Hedong, and he was really unwilling to give up Xu Wei.

And the entrance to the Guanzhong Plain has been controlled by the Jin army. wanted to rely on the Western Army of Shaanxi Sixth Road to save Xu Wei. Naturally impossible. In this way, he thought of a person who saved Taiyuan twice. Although the Zhejia Army is often regarded as a part of the Western Army. However, the defense area of the Zhejia, Fuzhou, was divided into Hedong Road, located in the northwesternmost corner of Hedong, next to Xia in the past.

The Fold family has lived in Fuzhou for hundreds of years, "Inner Screen China." "Although they are party members. But he has an enmity with the Xia Kingdom for generations, and he is loyal to the Central Plains. After the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin admired the attached Zhe clan very much, and gave them the treatment of "the descendants of the future generations will be the prefect of the state, and they will have to use their subordinates and eat their rent", that is, they were given hereditary privileges to the Zhe family. And the Fold family is also loyal to the fox. A large number of famous artists who have sacrificed themselves to Xu Guo have emerged, and the rest of the story is just worth it? Her real name is Zhesaihua, and she is a woman of the Zhe family. It's just that because of the homonym of "folding", it was misrepresented by later generations.

Li Gang ordered to lead the army to aid Xu Wei, twice to rescue Taiyuan, the loss of the army to ask for no prevarication, resolutely raised troops, led the children of the Zhi family from Fuzhou to the south, in order to avoid Taiyuan, the Zhi family army gave up the shortcut, next to Shaanxi, along the vast Luliang Mountain. From Fanzhou to Taiyuan Basin. After defeating Li Zhi's rebel army, he rushed to Pingyang!

After learning that there was still Zhaode Mansion in Hedong garrisoned by the official army, he ordered someone to go to Zhaozhi to break through the Yangliang South Pass, and the Wu brothers led the army to join the division. Attack the Wanyan Yinshu who was besieging Binh Duong. The first battle was successful, and the Zhejia army once approached the northwest of Pingyang. However, Yinshu can mobilize heavy troops to block the attack, and he can ask for help twice, and Tai has already injured his vitality. The soldiers and horses he brought this time were only more than 16,000 people, and even if he received reinforcements from Wu Jie, the strength of the Song army was only a little more than 10,000, which was far from Yinshu.

Fortunately, Xu Wei came out of the city at this time. The Jin army was attacked on both sides and finally collapsed. If it weren't for the lack of superiority of the Song army and the horse army, the Jurchens who could not form an army might have suffered an even greater nightmare in Pingyang City. The silver technique can be in the melee. was stabbed in the face by a young general called Orihiko Ye, a child of the Ori family, pulled the flag and fled"

After the siege of Pingyang was lifted, Xu Wei and Zhe Keqiu discussed, and they both believed that they should enter the customs and participate in the anti-gold resistance. However, Xu Wei has not arrived until now, not to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger and cow. Rather, it was in Hedong to mobilize the rebel army. In addition to recruiting the elites who had received in Dingrong to be directly under his command, he also ordered the rebels from all walks of life to build more fortresses and camps to block the retreat of the Jin army. After everything was roughly arranged, the army rushed to Guanzhong to help in the war.

After entering the Hezhong Mansion, Xu Wei set up Sijietang in Yongle Town, and sent a large army on all sides, and dispatched Tabai to reconnoiter and find a way to cross the river.

"Soliciting the public, the Pujin pontoon bridge has been controlled by the Jin people, and if you want to cross the river by this, you will not only have to pay a heavy price, but you are also uncertain whether it will succeed or not. Moreover, the Jin army seized Shaanzhou, so Huangguan naturally fell into the hands of the Jurchens. These two passages into the customs were blocked by the commission, and our army wanted to enter the customs. I'm afraid it's a little tough. After Ma Kuan recovered from his injury, because he had promised to exonerate him, Xu Wei was inconvenient to appoint him, so he gave him the title of "Counselor Military Affairs". Let's help with ideas.

The festival hall is actually a broken hall. It turned out to be the office of the Yongle Town Inspection Division. As soon as the Jin army came, they ruined this place beyond recognition. Xu Wei is a solicitation envoy, preparing to make a festival envoy, and he can ask for a slight pacification envoy on the road of Linfu, and he will be the leader of the folding family. He didn't even have a stool at his two levels, and the people in the town were still piecing together and sent tables, chairs and benches of different heights to keep the two coaches from standing and talking.

At this time, Xu Wei listened to Ma Kuo's words and nodded. He came from the pontoon. How can you not know that the west bank barrier is condescending, easy to defend and difficult to taste, if you have to cross the river from the pontoon bridge, you can fight or not, but you must first be mentally prepared to pay half of the casualties, can I do such a stupid thing? Not to mention Huangguan, the doll knows that it is the Xiongguan of the world, am I not bored with the consumption there?

But apart from these two places, there is no way to enter Guanzhong, so I can't wait on the east bank of the Yellow River, right? Especially now that the Jin army has invaded Guanzhong, the situation in Shaanxi must not be optimistic, and the river must be crossed as soon as possible!

"It's really not okay to force the crossing! The long Yellow River can't find a suitable place to pass? Yang Yanben was born and grew up, but at this time, he sat on a bench that was estimated to be a doll in the town to eat, and shrunk into a ball. If it weren't for the armor on his body, he would have sat on the ground a long time ago.

"Where to cross? Crossing the past is Shaanzhou. You still have to go through the hole! Ma Kuo glared at him.

Wu Jie held his hands behind his back, and his face was also solemn: "The important thing is that even if you find a suitable ferry, how can we, many horses, pass without boats?" ”

"I don't believe it, it's all at the doorstep. I can't get in yet! Yang Yan got up angrily and said. No one answered this sentence, because he happened to talk about the current predicament of the Hujie Township Army. After crossing the river, it is their base place, Dingrong. But this Yellow River is in front of it, and it is difficult for you to fly through it if you plug in your wings! The Jurchens are lucky, they stepped on the ice and passed, do you have the ability to let God freeze the Yellow River in March?

Xu Wei didn't speak, he would stand up and straighten his armor and say, "Don't worry, the living will never let urine suffocate to death." So send more people to seek the people. See if there is a suitable place to cross the river, and ask where there are boats. By the way, send more people out. Touch the Jin Army's river defense again, is there any hole to drill. After finishing speaking, he turned to a wordless fold and begged: "What do you think of it?" ”

Although Zhe Keqiu is also a handsome minister all the way, Linfu Road is a small place after all, and the parents of the past generations of the Zhe family. The highest is also awarded to the level of Chengxuan Envoy, of course, Zheyan is an outlier, and he is born on the right path of the imperial examination with his true ability. Therefore, Zhe Keqiu and Xu Wei are equal in grade, but the official system of the Song Dynasty. A few products only represent what kind of treatment you enjoy, and sending is your real job. In addition to the "Shaanxi and Chinese soldiers and horses in the same section", Xu Wei also had the dispatch of "recruiting envoys", so he naturally asked for a little overwhelm.
