Chapter 145: Turning the Tide

Xiao Wenxing fled. The soldiers behind him shouted in unison, and the goose cart was on. The officers and soldiers who were dazed by the stubborn resistance heard this, and they didn't care much, and shrank back like a receding tide. Those who are in high places cannot escape. There was a simple jump, and a broken hand was broken. The Song army on the side city was inspired by this, and the strings were like thunderbolts. The arrows were like flying locusts, and only the whistling sound was heard incessantly, and the retreating enemies fell to the ground one after another, and the wailing resounded throughout the field."

Fang ran back to the rear, several horsemen blocked the way, and the commander of the Jin army jumped on his horse with his sword raised, roaring hysterically.

Li Wenxing didn't need to listen to the explanation to know what he was talking about, and said loudly: "The defenders here are the elite of the Western Army, and they are extremely fierce, and it is difficult to overcome them in eagerness."

After listening to the explanation of the Han official behind him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth and handed the knife forward, putting it on Li Wenxing's neck. Said in an unquestionable tone. Regroup your team now and go on the assault again! Otherwise, Xiao Lixing will be in front of the battle!

Still going? Li Wenxing looked back, and thousands of soldiers returned in a hurry, and at this time their spirit had been lost, and their morale was rising and gone, and going back again was only to increase casualties. But no matter how he explained, the other party just didn't listen, and the scimitar was waved in front of him more than a dozen times. I hated it tightly in my heart, but I had no choice but to give the order to attack the city again to the soldiers who had retreated. This time, it stabbed the hornet's nest.

The thousands of troops attacked in less than two hours, look at the city of Tongxu, there are not a thousand but eight hundred brothers who have died in the gossip, and if they continue to fight like this, the whole army will be finished by suppertime. The Great Song Dynasty military salary we received at the beginning, and the grain we ate from the Southern Dynasties, we didn't see such a hard time. Now you want to be a martyr for the Jurchens? Grandmother! Both the officers in command of the army and the ordinary soldiers complained everywhere, and Li Wenxing couldn't suppress them. I had to explain the reason to the Jurchen commander. The commander's face was pale, highlighting the amazing move! Urging the war horse, galloping in front of the head of a descending army, the knife in his hand fell, only to see the head fall to the ground. The blood mist that erupted quietly made the noisy group of soldiers immediately silent!

Li Wenxing was also shocked in his heart, looking at the thousand-year-old scimitar that was still dripping blood, and felt a cold back. Today anyway. The Jurchens will not let go of themselves, if they attack the city, the final result is obviously to add fuel to the fire, and there is no other way than to burn it out. He relied on nothing but these brothers to reduce his own money. If they are all compensated under the city of Tongxu, then they will still be considered a bird feather in the future? Instead of this, it's better to fight with him!

But this, the thought only turned in his head, and Lixuan disappeared. Cangtian, there are Jurchens in front of you, the iron cavalry of the Jin Army! The power of rushing and killing, the power of thunder, can destroy the mountains. Block the cold river! Who are their opponents? If you fight, you will lose, and if you don't, you will die

Read this. Li Wenxing suddenly roared: "Brothers! Disperse! As soon as he finished speaking, he turned the horse's head and whipped it a few times. The horse galloped away in pain. Both the Jurchen cavalry and his subordinates were overwhelmed by this astonishing change. After a while. Thousands of soldiers were suddenly in chaos and fled in all directions. A group of men and horses followed closely behind Li Feng.

The horses neighed. The Jurchens, who were furious, didn't care to chase and kill the scattered and fleeing soldiers, and followed Li Wenxing in the direction of his escape. Pity the soldier who habitually follows the main general, how can the pair of fleshy legs born by his father and mother outrun the Jurchen war horse? I only heard the sound of hooves behind me more urgently, the closer the Jurchen shouting, suddenly the back of the ground was in sharp pain, and I fell to the ground.

However, it was said that Li Wenxing was in a panic, buried himself in the horse and galloped wildly, and did not know the southeast and northwest, anyway, as long as he did not go east, he would not fall into the hands of the Jurchens. The wind galloped for a while, and he looked back, but saw that the hundreds of elite horsemen were close behind. I secretly complained in my heart. Suddenly he heard the sound of breaking the sky, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly crouched on his horse and did not dare to raise his head. After running for a while, I don't know where he went, how could his riding skills compare with the Jurchens who grew up on horseback? Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Li Wenxing's soul was all gone. Pull out the saber at your waist, and you want to cut yourself!

"Miss me Li Wenxing. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, joined the army as a teenager, and his military exploits have never been less, and he was also rewarded by the official family when he conquered Fangla. To really set the way to the soldiers, horses and bowls, once in the thief camp, but end up like this. I knew that there was today, why didn't I serve the country with death and win the name of loyalty and martyrdom,"

Just as he was regretting his mistake and holding on to his death, he suddenly saw a black wall moving in front of him. If you look closely, you can see what kind of black wall it is. It's clearly an infantry that has been lined up! When I looked again, I saw that beside the infantry, there were also hundreds of horsemen in formation. God has no eyes, there is a strong enemy in front of him, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, I Li Wenxing has no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground. It's better to kill yourself! Thinking of this, he put the knife in front of his neck and wanted to pull it! Wrong! It must be Song Jun who came! If I fall into the hands of the Jurchens, I am guaranteed to die and be lifeless! But if he throws himself into the Song army again, there is still a glimmer of life!

"Friendly comrades save me!" Sticking to the horse's back, Li Wenxing shouted loudly. Ran to the front of the battle, but no one paid attention to him, and everyone in this army looked behind him! Looking back, the Jurchen pursuers had already reined in the reins and were looking this way. Sure enough, it was the Bodhisattva who appeared, otherwise, how could there be such luck. Are you meeting Song Jun? Soaked in cold sweat and panting for breath, Li Wenxing still had palpitations.

But he said that the hundreds of gold riders. Suddenly encountered the Song army. I don't know the truth and reality, so I stagnated, and then I observed carefully, and now the Song army has actually lined up in formation, and the infantry in front of me who are heavily armored and holding axes and shields are staring at Xiaoxiao. The crossbowmen behind him were waiting for their arrows, and the cavalry next to them was also waiting for the opportunity to move. Such a tight formation. I have only seen it under Li Gudu and Huazhou City, could it be that if you fight in a surprise battle, you will not be able to get a bargain. If Li Wenxing must be arrested and returned to the camp, he will not be able to live, and he will die! Otherwise, how to explain? The commander of the Jin army thought for a while, but he didn't know what his idea was, so he sent a man to beat his horse and come to the front of the Song army.

It was still a hundred and ten paces away from the enemy's formation. The cavalry suddenly dismounted. An iron arrow in the chest, only half of the shaft of the arrow is exposed!

Thousands of people are furious! Even the bare skull seemed to glow red! He sent a horseman, originally to ask the Song army for the rebel general Li Wenxing, but who knew that this Song army had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to do so! With a swing of the scimitar, he wants to rush through. But he was persuaded by his subordinates, this Song army has been prepared, and our cavalry is only 400, and this is the Song army defense area, so it is not advisable to retreat early. As for Li Wenxing, he is just a dog, so he doesn't need to care.

When he was hesitating, he heard a shout in the Song army's formation, and the heavy infantry in front of him stepped forward in unison, with sharp weapons and sonorous armor, and there was a tendency to overwhelm the mountains and seas! The commander was furious and wanted to charge into battle, but his subordinates persuaded him bitterly. Looking at the Song army advancing like a wall, he made a mistake and ordered to retreat!

In Chenliu County, in the utility room of a big house, Li Wenxing had taken off his armor and sat on firewood and grass wearing only cotton clothes. On the ground in front of him, there were several empty bowls. Food residue remains. At this time, he had long lost the slightest military prestige, his head was scattered, his face was haggard, his beard was still stained with dandruff, and his protruding eyes were like dead fish, staring blankly on the ground.

The door rattled, and he leaped up and looked at the door. I saw two heavily armed soldiers come in first, standing on the right and left, and then one of them entered the house. About twenty, it's a good look! The figure is both erect. The bearing is even more extraordinary. Two swords, 1 eyebrows, a pair of eagle eyes! Steady pace! Looking forward to Gu Shengwei! Wearing a new robe, a gold belt around his waist, and a fish bag, Li Wenxing knew at a glance that it was a twenty-two royal fairy flower belt! But I don't know where this little official is sacred?

When the man had entered, one of the soldiers came in and set up a bench, and he sat down, not in a hurry to speak, but to look at himself. After a while, he finally spoke: "Name, position."

Li Wenxing listened to his tone calmly. With a little peace of mind in his heart, he bowed down and replied: "The criminal general Li Wenxing is under the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses of the original Dinglu. The city of Zhending fell, the armies fled, and they had to be trapped in the golden camp.

The little official was sitting precariously when he heard this: "Let me ask you, how many people are still there?" How much food is stored in the army? Anyone you know about the situation, be sure to report it according to the truth, and a smile appeared on your face, "When you are good." ”

Li Wenxing nodded again and again as if he had been granted amnesty: "Yes, yes, yes, the crime will definitely be known and spoken." Hold down the excitement. After thinking about it for a while, I told the truth.

When the army was not dispatched, there were 60,000 horses, and there were many losses along the way south.

Especially when forcibly crossing the Yellow River and fighting a bloody battle in Huazhou, the casualties were the greatest! Now counting the incorporated Great Song rebels, there are only less than 50,000. The grain stored in its army was insufficient, but due to the fact that Fuzhou such as Zhending, and some defenders of Hebei surrendered to Kaicheng without any resistance, its grain and grass materials were greatly replenished, and it is unknown how long it could cope with it, but at least in the short term, there was no risk of food shortage.

The Jin army was divided into three large battalions, and there were 30,000 Jurchen soldiers in the rear. There was no trace of peace at all, and the reason why he discussed with the Song court about the boundary of the 1 river was just a repetition of the old tricks, intending to paralyze the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty. Its real purpose is to wait for the West Road to meet Han in the city of Tokyo! All these claims are mostly from the hands of the rebellious Guo Yaoshi!

"A few days ago, he didn't want to leave with Guo Yaoshi, and he also planned to make peace with Tokyo, because the Song army guards insulted the Jin envoy and intercepted and killed the rangers, so he was not angry. Therefore, he drove away the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty and vowed to sweep away the suburbs of Tokyo! However, according to the general of the crime, in order to advance, the Jin army abandoned all the heavy and conquered all the siege equipment used in Zhenji, and carried nothing. The reason why we are not directly attacking Tokyo today is also related to this. Li Wenxing was exquisite, peeked at the other party, and saw that the little official did not say anything, as if he was thoughtful.

After a long time, he got up and shook the hem of his clothes and walked straight out. Li Wenxing was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "This official, that criminal general"

"Stay warm" The other party threw down this sentence, but the person had already left the firewood room. The Imperial City of Tokyo, the forbidden vertical arch hall.

Xu Shao held the inferior board, wearing a purple official uniform of a first-class official, bunching gold and fish, standing outside the hall with a black veil on his head, his eyes slightly closed, like an old monk in a fixed state. The situation has deteriorated, the national crisis is at hand, and the ruler in charge of the military affairs of the Great Song Dynasty seems to have aged a lot these days.

Next to him, Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke, Li Bangyan and others gathered together, discussing in small voices, looking at him sideways from time to time, with a look of disdain on their faces. Among the ruling ministers, the discussion of small peace is very loud, and the official family has been "kidnapped" by the ministers of the peace faction. He is planning to send another envoy to ask for money on more "preferential" terms. Today's face is to finalize this matter!

"You look at the appearance of his old god, it's really hateful!" Li Bangyan pointed to Xu Shaoyan and said.

Geng Nanzhong didn't look at it, and snorted coldly: "I don't know the current affairs, I don't know the situation, and I'm a mediocre." The prime ministers of the capitals of our three provinces all hold the peace agreement. This person dominates the Privy Council and presides over the debate. Wait, find a moment, and tell him to step down! ”

When Li Bangyan heard this, he stepped forward and leaned out half of his body and made a respectful gesture: "Geng Xiang, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, why not do it today,"

"No!" Zhang Bangchang's face was full of black beards and seemed to be trembling, "Today's heavy banquet and discussion and matters are really Yaobing, if the Jingshi does not need to lie down and make him retreat, it will be a big disaster at the end!" Xu Shao's generation, there are only dry bones in the grave, sooner or later, the official family will quit his post. ”

Geng Nanzhong took over the conversation at this time: "Xu Shao can be slowed down, but the second general Yao Xu outside the city, who is young, can't help but be wild, and he is not as serious as the veteran." In case of an incident in his life that angers the Jurchens, what can he do? The public must work together to advise the officials and remove Yao Pingzhong and Xu Wei. ”

When the officials thought that under the noses of the Jurchens, they might wave their troops to capture the city at any time, and everyone was frightened, and everyone was afraid. Hey, what's going on with the official family? I have waited here for a long time, and why have I not been called? The catastrophe is coming, and the foundation of the 166th year of the Great Song Dynasty is in danger! We monarchs and ministers should work with one heart and one mind to complete the peace negotiations as soon as possible, which can not be delayed.

After waiting for a long time, he saw the inner servant leave the palace, and the official called the minister to see him.

When Geng Nanzhong and the others heard this, they all turned inward, and Xu Shao was also turning sideways inside, but he and the others took the lead. Squeeze out of the temple gates. Li Bangyan even glanced at the privy minister, and his face was triumphant. The latter didn't care, and waited for all of him to enter the temple before he stepped forward. Before he could go in, he was grabbed by the attendant.

"Privy Counsellor, I have a word for now. Had to take a risk. The chamberlain whispered.

Xu Shaosu had no contact with the eunuchs, and was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Ran matter?" ”

"Don't focus on the battle. Wise to protect yourself. That's all, the cardinal is precious. The chamberlain hurriedly spoke, turned and went to the temple. Xu Shao is puzzled, I am not related to this servant Qian, I have no friendship in the past, and I have been ruthless recently, why do I kindly remind you?

Above the palace, where is it still the Zhao Guan's family that was flying in the past? His eyes had lost his lustre, his cheeks were sunken, and some of the temperament of a sharp-beaked monkey cheek came out.

Sitting on the chair, he indifferently watched the minister enter the house, pushed the gold mountain, poured the jade pillar, bowed three times and knocked nine times, and shouted long live.

"The Jin people have gone outside the city. Long live Lianzhen? Zhao Huan's outstanding words made the ministers hear it. Sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed like Li Bangyan and others, they were speechless at this time. The hall was silent, and after a long time, Zhao Huan let out a long sigh. The ministers thought he was going to speak, and waited for a while, but there was no movement. Geng Nanzhong served himself as an old minister of the Emperor's East Palace, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the golden man Chen Bing Jinggi, Sheji is in danger of exhaustion, and the people are in urgent need of hanging!" For the sake of his family and country, the minister begged His Majesty to propose peace again, show great sincerity to the Jurchens, and urge them to withdraw from the army as soon as possible. ”

The minions behind him echoed in unison. Du Xu Shao was speechless.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he seemed to be numb. Expressionless: "The previous Jin people proposed that the Ge River be the boundary, and they agreed to accept the humiliation. But the Jin people pressed forward step by step, and actually "planned and discussed before the army, beat the stick, and interrupted the peace discussion." Now that this has happened, what else can I do? ”

Geng Nanzhong was silent, coughed lightly, Tang Ke understood, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Jin people start from the mountains and forests, and the people who are pictured are not the world." It's nothing more than gold and silver, false fame, and beauty. Now I promise to be 1 river, and I refuse it. The ministers thought that they could add gold silk to move their hearts, and add honorific numbers to move their aspirations, so that peace could be achieved. ”

Zhao Huan seemed to hear something. His eyes narrowed, and he asked: "Even if the land of the capital is three feet into the earth, it can't take out the amount that the golden man has played." Moreover, the Jin people previously asked to respect him as the country of his uncle, but then refused, and then added the honorific title, Aiqing's meaning, could it be that he wanted to join Jin as a minister? ”

Tang Ke sensed that the emperor was displeased, and he was timid for a moment and did not dare to reply. Geng Nanzhong coughed a few times, but there was no response, and he couldn't help but be angry. When Li Bangyan, who was standing solemnly, saw it, he thought that the time had come to flatter, so he hurriedly went out and played: "Your Majesty! In the past, King Goujian, the king of Yue, tasted courage on his salary, endured humiliation, and finally got a shame! Today's things,"

"Li Aiqing!" Zhao Huan Ding shouted and interrupted him. "King Goujian of Yue, in order to protect himself, once tasted the feces of King Wu. His queen also slept like a prostitute, and also sent Xi Shi to please Wu. You're going to want to be in Sichuan

Li Bangyan was horrified! Hurriedly bowed to the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Your Majesty is angry." The minister has no such intention! No such intention! ”

Geng Nanzhong and others all gritted their teeth at this time, and they were not enough to conspire! How can we be with this generation! What example of a bird did you give? Pinch Bird 1 Fool, Win Praise Guy! How the fuck did you get into the prime minister's position!

The ministers' scalps are numb. When he was worried about the anger of the official family, he suddenly heard Zhao Huan in the palace exclaim: "Xu Aiqing, you are."

Geng Nanzhong and his gang looked sideways. I can't help but be confused. What's going on? At this time, Xu Shao was clinging to the inferior board and secretly wept. Geng Tang and the others couldn't figure out what his intentions were, and they all looked at each other, which one is this singing?

"Your Majesty, as a ruler, the minister is trusted by His Majesty and has great responsibilities. However, now Jin Kou is hideous, and the mountains and rivers are broken, so that the king is humiliated and Li Shu suffers. Every time the minister thinks of this, he burns all his inner and his heart is broken. The ministers heard that "the king humiliated the ministers to death", and now His Majesty is embarrassed like this, and I wait for the ministers, all of whom deserve to die! Xu Shao shouted. Very emotional! Crying so much that the old tears are crossed, and the sadness is not.

Geng Nanzhong's generation, look at me. When I look at you, I say in my heart, if you want to die, we won't accompany you.

"Love Qing's loyalty. Lian Su knows that the situation of the country is like this, and it is not done by manpower. Aiqing doesn't have to be sad" Zhao Huan also seemed to be infected, his eyes were red, and he comforted softly.

Xu Shao's face suddenly turned pale again. Xun took out an object from his arms and held it high above his head: "Your Majesty! Xu Wei hurriedly played! (To be continued)
