Hearing this, Wang Shen's grief and indignation, which had calmed down, came back to his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What has happened in the imperial court and the baggage camp in the past month has been told to him in detail after Gu Lie crossed the river last night, and he never expected that he would give up his life and make such a great contribution, and the imperial court did not have the slightest reward.

What's wrong with this?

The current Wang Shen and the people of the baggage battalion are actually just a small existence like mustard seeds on the military and political platform of the entire Southern Song Dynasty, and how do they know about the affairs of the upper echelons.

The worst thing is that the baggage battalion is now in the battle sequence of the left-behind division, and it is the Huaixi Army that has broken away.

Originally, Wang Shen planned to take people and horses west after arriving in Jiankang, nominally to join Liu Guangshi's main force. According to the prophet of he, the traverser, he could no longer catch up with Liu Guangshi at this time. The long-legged general only stayed in Jiujiang for a few days, and when he saw that the Jurchen Western Route Army had rushed, he threw a Jiangzhou city and the Yangtze River moat to the enemy, and fled with oil on the soles of his feet. By that time, the baggage battalion had become a lonely, de facto independent force. Next, Wang Shen can lead this army to display his ambitions.

Unexpectedly, now the baggage battalion of the Huaixi Army has become Du Chong's Sizhou battalion of the Chinese army, which caught Wang Shen off guard.

In fact, Du Chong's behavior is also understandable. At that time, the soldiers and horses left behind in Tokyo under him were the troops with the most men, the best equipment, and the strongest combat effectiveness among the Song armies in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. However, after the Kaifeng infighting, the army was split by more than half. Then he was beaten by Wang Shan, Zhang Yong, and Cao Cheng.

After retreating thousands of miles south and crossing the river, there is no one in ten.

Now Du Chong is appointed as the Jiankang Left-behind Division, responsible for the entire Jianghuai War, in fact, the soldiers and horses he has on hand are less than 50,000, known as 100,000. The troops are divided into three units: the front army, the middle army, and the rear army.

The former army had 20,000 soldiers, and the commander was named Qi Fang, who was now Wang Shen's immediate boss; There are 10,000 soldiers in the Chinese army, and the commander is Chen Qu; There were 20,000 people in the rear army, and the commander Wang Xie.

Among them, Wang Xie is the commander of Zhao Gou's former army, and this is the Royal Forest Army, and he doesn't buy Du Chong's account very much. After entering Jiankang, they have remained in the city without moving, and they have no choice but to use them as a general reserve.

Therefore, the troops that Du Chong could command at hand were only 30,000 people in the front army and the middle army.

And these 30,000 people also include a large number of auxiliaries and masters, and the real front-line troops are less than 10,000, and only five or six thousand. The so-called dishes are all dishes, and Du Chong simply enriched the other troops that remained in Jiankang and had not had time to withdraw under his command.

Unfortunately, Wang Shen's baggage battalion, no, now the Sizhou battalion was annexed by others, which made his entire plan completely fail.

According to the real historical records, the Song army was wiped out in the Battle of Jiankang, and the Sizhou battalion is now considered to have fallen into the fire pit.

In fact, as long as Wang Shen is willing, he can take An Niang and Yue Yun to leave Jiankang alone. However, how could he abandon so many soldiers and horses that he had gathered with great difficulty, and abandon his brothers who were suffering with him and run away?

He basically spent last night in a half-asleep and half-awake night, thinking all night about how to get the troops out intact, and he didn't have an eyebrow until dawn.

In the end, he could only collect his mood: "Let's take one step at a time, I don't believe that my foresight has not been able to find a way out for my brothers to live."

"You don't have to worry about the problem of eating the brethren, I can solve it. However, it is not possible for everyone to eat and drink outside all day long, so what is the military discipline, we have to set some rules for them" The last time he broke up with Chen Lanruo, Wang Shen was not polite, filled a sack of silver, calculated the weight, at least three thousand taels.

In the eyes of later generations, three thousand taels of silver may not be nothing, but it was a very large wealth in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Before the late Ming Dynasty silver from the Americas was imported into China in large quantities, gold and silver had always been precious metals that held their value safe.

The so-called prosperous antiques, gold and silver in troubled times.

What could be more valuable than silver in these days?

These more than 500 soldiers were recruited by Wang Shen little by little with these silvers, and in a sense, Chen Lanruo was a noble person who started Wang Shen.

With this money in hand, even if the left-behind division does not have a penny of military salaries, Wang Shen has nothing to worry about.

Gu Lie nodded: "The commander is right, the so-called snake can't do without a head, a bird can't fly without a head, the general is not there, and people's hearts are scattered." Now that you're back, I know how to train them, so rest assured. ”

"That's good, that's good."

As he was talking, there was a sudden loud commotion from there.

The two of them hurriedly looked at each other, and at this time, they both took a breath of cold air at the same time.

I saw that thousands of people shouted and rushed towards the fifteen boats brought by Gu Lie.

Gu Lie's boat was not big, and if it was squeezed, each boat could only squeeze fifty people. However, the Yangtze River in this place is very wide, and it is raining again, and the wind and waves are very strong. When fully loaded, the boat has a deep draft, and if one is not careful, it will capsize.

Therefore, thirty people were loaded into each ship.

The sky has completely opened, and Jiangpu Ferry is the only passage from Jiangbei to Jinling. Some time ago, a large number of people who fled from Jiangbei flocked to the city.

Du Chong was completely frightened by the Jin soldiers, and as early as half a month ago, he cleared the wall and removed the ships from the north of the river to the south bank. As a result, at least tens of thousands of people are crowded here with the old and the young, eagerly waiting for the ship to come. But they didn't know that the ship could not wait.

Wang Shen also wandered by the river for three days, and finally came across a merchant ship that escaped from Yangzhou, and spent a lot of money to let them take Lao Guo across the river.

Now it was hard to see so many boats, so all the people came forward one after another, pleading, and taking out copper coins, and asking the soldiers to let them go up.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Sizhou battalion shook their heads, they didn't know if they would shout, and the desperate people rushed towards the boat without their lives. Startled, the soldiers on the ship hurriedly waved the guns in their hands and kept pumping forward.

For a while, the cry on the pier shook the sky, and the ships were also squeezed crookedly.

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, suddenly, a soldier on the innermost boat drew his knife and slashed forward: "Your mother, let go!" ”

This person, Wang Shen, knew that it was Wang Danian, a half-grown child who was frightened by the enemy during the battle of Pingyuan Town and closed his eyes and fired arrows.

Wang Danian had just turned sixteen years old, and he was considered an adult in ancient times, but Wang Shen still regarded him as a child. After four days of that battle, the little guy was completely bloody, and he had grown into a fierce warrior to the extreme. When Li Cheng's cavalry attacked the military formation, he was still alone.

After the war, he was promoted to deputy capital by Wang Shen, and let Gu Lie take him with him to train and cultivate.

The bright sword light flashed and slashed through several hands in an instant. More than a dozen fingers leaped into the air.

After a long time, the hands of the people whose fingers had been cut off were bleeding and they fell to the ground and screamed loudly.

Seeing this scene, Wang Shen wanted to scream, but shook his head and closed his eyes. Even if he couldn't bear it, he knew in his heart that there were too many people here and few boats, so it was impossible to bring so many people across the river. As far as he knew, in addition to the more than 10,000 people on the wharf, there were also rolling crowds of people in the north, not 100,000 but also 80,000, transported by boat, and could not be transported at all in ten days and half a month. And Jin Bing is about to arrive, so he won't be given so much time at all.

Seeing that Wang Danian had moved the knife, the people who were about to rush up were frightened and subconsciously stopped.

Wang Danian used a knife to pour the fingers that fell on the deck into the water, and shouted: "Give Lao Tzu a retreat, if you dare to come again, I will cut off your heads." The knife in Grandpa's hand doesn't recognize people, get out! ”

The knife slashed through the air again, causing a loud screech.

The people took a step back, and moved forward in silence.

"Stop, stop!" Wang Danian yelled loudly, and when he saw the situation, he couldn't control it, his forehead was full of wet droplets, and he didn't know if it was rain or sweat.

The river wind is still blowing, the rain does not stop, and the people in front of them are all ragged and sad.

Gu Lie is not kind, in fact, in real history, the Western soldiers are very fierce. When Fan Zhongyan Fan Da Laozi conquered Western Xia, the army passed everywhere and did not leave an inch of grass, but there was no so-called humanitarian feelings in later generations.

Seeing this, he put his hand on the handle of the waist knife: "General Wang, I'll take someone over to play and suppress it, and if I don't kill a few people, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out today." ”

Wang Shen sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "We are the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, and the knife can only be aimed at the enemy, how can we cut at the common people." Recruit more than 200 recruits, gather 800 of them, and take them across the river together! ”
