Chapter 90: No Plans

Du Chong's Chinese Army Festival Tent is still four miles away from the wharf, although it is a pillar of incense to run over quickly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 But now the camp was in chaos, there were shouts everywhere, and there were even the sounds of gold and iron and screams as the soldiers of the bombing camp slashed and killed each other.

In the distant firelight, a group of routs ran over and over, like a scene of doomsday, and it couldn't be stopped at all.

Du Chong's tent was very large and eye-catching, and it was paved with scarlet stalls, and everything made of rosewood glittered in the firelight, reflecting the frightened faces.

Du Chong was just a small Cangzhou prefect when he was in Jingkang, and he didn't have any big ambitions.

It was also due to luck, the Jin people invaded, he was trapped in the north, unable to escape to the south of the Yangtze River to avoid trouble, so he could only hang alone in Hebei, as the only remaining court official, as if he was driving ducks to the shelves, he stayed in the Beijing Daimyo's mansion. In the second battle of Kaifeng, the second emperor was captured, and the Daimyo's mansion could not be defended. had to retreat to Kaifeng and became Zong Ze's deputy.

Zong Rulin died, and Du became the defender of Tokyo, in charge of the most powerful field army of the Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that he is mediocre and incompetent, and he is cruel and easy to kill, which makes the generals of the left-behind division centrifuted, and finally the troops of the left-behind division are driven to Jiankang, and the troops of the left-behind division are still demoralized and have no fighting spirit.

If you lose your teacher and lose your land, according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, you will definitely be dismissed from office and exiled to the southern miasma.

After arriving in Jiankang, he was uneasy and unwilling at the same time.

He knows his own ability, although he is a Jinshi, but whether he is governing the army or the people, he is black-eyed. If in the peaceful years, a person like him will come to an end. But the Song army fought together, and the good wind took advantage of it to push him all the way to the high position left behind in the department.

In charge of thousands of troops and horses, an order, the entire Central Plains will tremble, and in retrospect, it is like a dream.

It turns out that the taste of power is so delicious. Once you have it, how can you relax?

It is strange to say that when everyone in the world said that they could be killed, the official family not only did not blame in the slightest, but still appointed himself to be in charge of the army in the entire Jianghuai region, stayed behind in Jiankang, and was also promoted to the right minister.

After sobering up, Du Chong also knew that he could have such a status today, and the reason was very simple: Du was just a local petty official before, and he had no power in the government and the opposition, and now he has a bad reputation, which makes the official family very relieved. The official family can promote himself to a high position, and if he wants to, he can easily let himself fall to the bottom with an edict, and there will be no trouble. This is the so-called imperial means of the Son of Heaven, the emperor's mental technique!

"It's over, it's over!"

Du Chong sat slumped in his chair, looking at the servants running around in the tent with a dull gaze. Some people were packing their bags, others were shouting at the heralds, and the hum in the tent was mixed with the noise outside, but nothing could be heard.

There was an official beside him who kept rubbing his hands: "Xianggong, Xianggong, the various ministries have become a mess, the soldiers trample on each other, attack each other, there are dead and wounded, and they can't recover until dawn." I can't send a single force to the docks, so let's find a way, Xianggong, Xianggong......"

Du Chong muttered: "Can't be contacted, what can I do, what can I do?" ”

Yes, as soon as the Jin army crossed the river, the camp was in chaos. At the moment, all the armies ran back to control the troops to see if they could organize men and horses to counterattack towards the docks. But now, they are gone forever, and it seems that there is nothing to think about.

Another servant cried with a voice: "Xianggong, retreat quickly, the dock is too close to the festival account, and the golden people are about to be killed when they speak, and it will be too late." ”

"Yes, yes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood. Retreat to Jiankang City, relying on the walls of Stone City, and maybe be able to hold it. ”

The other servants were also frightened by the chaos outside, and they spoke one after another.

"Go back to Jiankang, go back and do what?" Du Chong suddenly became angry and straightened up suddenly: "The army is defeated, and Wang Xie's 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers alone can defend such a large city?" I won't go, I'm not leaving, pass my orders, and the troops will counterattack towards the docks. Whoever violates my military orders, kill! ”

Yes, you can't retreat, as soon as you retreat, the army will disperse, and Jiankang can't be saved.

I have already lost Kaifeng and Henan, and if I lose Jiankang again this time, I am afraid that the official family will also give up on me. When the time comes, let alone exile, I'm afraid that someone's head will be difficult to protect. When the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee saw that I, a newcomer, had entered the government hall within a few years, they were already red-eyed and green-eyed, can they let me go of Du Chong?

If you retreat today, it will be the world's greatest, and there will be no place for me and Du someone.

Indeed, in real history, Du Chong lost Jiankang, and as for Allah's ability to calmly cross the river, the south of the Yangtze River was burned to the ground by the war, and the consequences were very serious.

Du Chong also knew that Zhao Gou would not spare himself, and the officials of the court would not let him go, so in order to save his life, he surrendered to Wushu and became a traitor.

The consequences of today's chaotic army, he, a man who is easy to play with power, naturally knows how powerful it is.

If you run away at this moment, you will completely give up all your future, even your own life.

A few servants couldn't manage so much, a few people looked at each other, rushed up at the same time, and surrounded Du Chong to leave.

At this time, a tall figure rushed in from outside the tent, it was the ruling officer Guo Zhongxun.

He drove his entourage away and shouted, "Husband, the dock seems to be resisted. ”

"Resisted?" Du Chong was stunned: "Did the other rulers bring reinforcements over?" ”

Guo Zhongxun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This army is already in chaos, even if everyone has three heads and six arms, they can't straighten it out." I was also busy for a long time, but I couldn't gather a single soldier, and the others must be the same. This troop ...... The hearts of men have been scattered...... The subordinates heard from the fallen soldier that there was a group of men and horses on the dock who were fighting with the Jin army, and it seemed that they were holding on. I didn't care about a lot, so I hurriedly came to see my husband. ”

Speaking of this, his face became anxious: "Xianggong, it is said that there are not many people along the way, and there is only about one army, I'm afraid it won't be long, you better quickly think of sending troops over to support, don't let the blood of those heroes be shed in vain." ”

Du Chong suddenly became angry: "Reinforcements, reinforcements, look at what the chaos is going on outside, where can you still send a soldier, now go out and pull them one by one by the collar towards the dock?" I'm afraid that before they reach the ground, they will flee again. The temperament of these thieves and the army is the most clear, but it really annoys them, maybe they are really cut down by them. ”

After scolding hoarsely, his mood calmed down a lot: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, let the scout go and give an order to Chen Quan Zhongjun in the west, and ask him to send reinforcements over." ”

"It's useless." Guo Zhongxun's face was depressed: "His side is also in chaos, the previous subordinates looked at that end from a high place, and the Chinese army camp was also full of fire, their rout has already run to our side, and the commander Chen can't restrain the troops." ”

"Chen Qu is incompetent, he should be killed, he should be killed!" Du's face turned blue with anger, and the huge disappointment made him seem to fall from a high altitude and fall heavily to the ground. There was boundless killing intent in his chest: "Pass my order, and tomorrow morning the Chen Qu father and son will be engaged in military law, and the disclosure will be taken and sent to the left-behind division." ”

Having said that, his heart was cold.

The fierceness of the Jin army has been seen by everyone here, even if there is an army on the dock to resist the enemy's attack, I am afraid that it will not last long.

When the time comes, everyone will be finished, how can they take the heads of the pair of dog things of Chen Quan and his son?

"What should I do, what should I do now?" The officials who stayed behind in the tent were so anxious that they stomped their feet.

An official proposed: "Du Xianggong, the dock will definitely not last long, and it will collapse in the next moment." We can say that there is no means here, can we, can we ...... it."

Du Chong said angrily: "If you have something to say, don't spit out." ”

The man said: "Can the prime minister issue a warrant and order Wang Xie in Jinling City to immediately bring the rear army to support, with his 20,000 horses, this battle situation may be stable." ”

"Is it in time, is it in time?" Du inflated and shouted: "Jinling is a hundred miles away, the army is open, how can you get it in two days?" Besides, although Wang Xie's men and horses have a lot of people, they are all waste, what is the use? ”

Yes, Wang Xie's rear army was originally the forbidden army of the official family. Everyone knows what kind of virtue the forbidden army is.

The army is full of nobles and prodigals, these people used to be paid in peacetime, and they only went to the barracks once a month to show their faces when they were paid. After going from Kaifeng Road to the south, many defeated troops were gathered, and military discipline was scattered and corrupted to the extreme.

If you want them to fly hundreds of miles to Majiadu, I am afraid that as soon as they leave the city, the team will be scattered all over the sky.

Moreover, Wang Xie may not listen to his Du Chong's command.

Therefore, in this battle, Du Chong left the rear army in the city and ignored it, as if they did not exist. I didn't expect them to be useful, as long as we protected the army's grain routes and maintained local order.

Guo Zhongxun waved his hand to signal the official to step back, and whispered to Du Chong: "Xianggong, there is no way but to wait now." ”

"Wait, what are you talking about, waiting for death?"

He sat down in his chair.

Guo Zhongxun sighed: "I can only wait, until dawn." As soon as the morning dawns, maybe you can gather some sergeants. Xianggong, his subordinates will go down to rectify the troops, hoping that the dock side can hold out until that time. It's really not good, the last general will die here, and he will serve the country with this enthusiasm. ”

Du Chong: "That's the only way, but it's not okay to sit still like this." ”

Guo Zhongxun gritted his teeth: "Don't worry, I'll go collect some more sergeants." Even if there are only 100 people, 10 people, you have to go to the pier. Over there, because there are many casualties, their sacrifice must not be made worthless. ”

At this time, another officer rushed in: "Eun Xiang, Eun Xiang, something is wrong?" ”

Guo Zhongxun saw that he was full of horror, and he sighed in his heart, and asked: "Yan Xiaogong, you are not outside to rectify the people, what are you sending to do?" ”

"Oops, oops, Enxiang, Guo Dianshuai, Qi Fang...... Qi Fang's thief reversed. ”

"What?" Du Chong and Guo Zhongxun shouted in unison.

Yan Xiaogong: "The Jin people crossed the river and attacked at night, and there was chaos in the camp, and Qi Fang hated the military method against him, so he rebelled against the main force of the front army. I finally gathered more than 1,000 people, and when I saw that he was leaving, I persuaded him, but he was killed and dispersed by his soldiers. ”

Du Chong wanted to say something, but he couldn't do it. What else can I think of, Qi Fang is the former army commander who he single-handedly raised, and he is in charge of the elite of the front army left behind. I can't imagine that this birdman disregarded my kindness, was greedy for life and afraid of death, and escaped at a critical moment.

This thief, this thief...... This thief is the opposite, and the elite of our army is lost, and that is really the end.

Du Chong didn't know that in real history, after the fall of Jiankang, Qi Fang led the elite of the left-behind Siqian army to break away from the Song army, plundered in the south of the Yangtze River, and became one of the strongest bandits in the south. Later, Yue Fei and Zhang Jun were ordered to crusade, and after being defeated by Yue Fei, they surrendered to Zhang Jun and became Zhang Jun's generals.

This man is narrow-minded and fierce. Today, I was almost cut off by Du Chong with military law, and I ate a military stick again, and I hated it in my heart. Seeing the Jin army attacking, he immediately brought the pro-army to rebel.

On the contrary, the strongest front army in the left-behind division has become a plate of scattered sand and cannot be recovered.

Du Chong sat slumped in the chair, his forehead covered with cold sweat the size of soybeans.

Guo Zhongxun's heart was cold, and he arched his hand towards Du Chong: "Xianggong, it's time to go down." ”

Out of the festival tent, the face is the steaming hot air, the eyes are burning, the air is tumbling and twisting in the heat wave, like a hot summer.

There were not many people in front of them, and the chaotic rout had already escaped from the camp and scattered within a range of dozens of miles.

Guo Zhongxun looked at the dock in the distance and muttered: "I don't know which good man it is, he must be the backbone elite of the army." That is the last blood of our Western Army, is it going to die here with everyone today? Thief God, why are you doing this to us, to us like this? ”

He drew his knife and pulled the soldiers he met to his side as he ran: "Follow me, follow me!" ”
