Chapter 383: Farewell to Li Gang

"The thief dares to do this! How dare so! The manic Sticky Han walked back and forth in the lobby, "Which of you told me, where did Xu Wei get the guts!" How dare he attack our army! All dumb? Speak! ”

Dozens of civil and military members in the hall were all silent. To be honest, at this moment, there are still people who have not come to their senses. Because it's impossible! Peace has already been negotiated, just waiting for the delivery of the city land and the repatriation of the people, how can such a thing happen? Take a thousand steps back and say that even if Xu Wei really raised a large army to attack for 10,000 years, Yinshu Ke also had 15,000 horse infantry troops in his hands, how could it be so miserable? Just a dozen people escaped? How many troops did Xu Wei use? 100,000? Where did he get his troops?

Looking at the delicacies and smelling the wine, no one has an appetite. A grand celebration banquet was ruined by this sudden change. Yinshu can wait in the hall of sin, and he has not looked up, and the more he looks at him, the more angry he becomes, and asks, "You say!" How could your 15,000 horse infantry army be wiped out? Didn't I give you Ma Jun? How could he have been defeated so badly! ”

This is probably a question that everyone here wants to ask. Yinshu Ke met countless eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "Prime Minister, on the day of the incident, the fog was full of sky, and it was no longer visible three or four steps away. The Hu'er army relied on being familiar with the terrain and came all the way, and it was discovered not far from 10,000 years. I immediately led my army out of the city to engage in battle, and took advantage of the enemy's position to attack with a horse army. ”

Hearing this, many people nodded silently. Yes, it should be, it's the right way to deal with it, but why did it fail?

"Who knows, the Tiger Army is not only several times stronger than me, but also has powerful firearms! People carry bellows in their hands, and when our horse army attacked, in the bellows, countless fire dragons rushed out! The Ma army was disturbed, the damage was not counted, and they barely rushed out of the smoke, but it was difficult to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. In this battle, the Purple Gold Tiger dispatched a large number of cavalry, far outnumbering me. Hence the defeat. ”

Mu Han was so angry that his chest hurt, and he put his hand on his forehead, and he was speechless for a long time. After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "Go down!" ”

The silver technique can be left, and the angry Dajin Guoxiang kicked the table away, and the cups, plates and bowls fell to the ground! All the martial arts in the hall got up!

Xu Wei! Xu Wei! Sooner or later, I want you to die without a corpse!

Just when the hall was full of silence, the Jurchen general Wanyan Xi came in a hurry, and when he came outside the hall, he saw such a situation. One foot that had already stepped into the threshold retracted, standing outside the hall at a loss. Someone spotted him and looked at him. The sticky Han in the hall found that many officials were looking out, and they also looked around, and when they saw Xi Bu, they shouted: "What's the matter! ”

After Yan Xi's body trembled, he hurriedly rushed into the house and said loudly: "Prime Minister! Yaozhou entered the city with a plan, saying that there was an urgent military report! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall beat a small drum in their hearts. Couldn't it be such a coincidence? Could it be that the Yaozhou garrison was also blackmailed by the Hu'er Army? It's really not impossible, Yaozhou is only a few steps away from Chang'an?

Sticky Han also seemed to guess a few points, and clenched his teeth: "Let him in!" ”

In a short time, the First World War will be rushed in, and before anyone approaches, the voice will come first: "Prime Minister of the State!" The Tiger Army attacks Yaozhou! ”

Broken! And so it is! What does Xu Wei want to do? Is he crazy? Attack Wannian Yaozhou one after another! Didn't he know that Song Jin had reached a peace agreement?

Dajin Guoxiang felt a wave of karma soaring above his head! His eyes were hot, and he almost squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Say!" ”

"A few days ago, Wanhu received military information and learned that Wannian had been attacked. In a fit of rage, he decided to seek the hatred of the Tiger Army! When Officer Namok said this, many people sighed in their hearts. With this sentence alone, we can all guess the result. Yinshu can be defeated in 10,000 years, and it is obvious that the next target of the Hu'er Army is Yaozhou. Shi Jianu didn't avoid his edge, so he didn't say anything, and he actually took the initiative to look for him! Didn't he hit Xu Wei's knife edge by himself, and he couldn't pull it? I don't want to think about it, you've only been in the army for a few years? Just go and fight against the Purple Tiger? Silversmith can be defeated by such generals, how old are you? Don't you think that you are a clan, and you treat Xu Hu'er as nothing? Young and vigorous, so misguided!

The skin of the sticky Han turned black to red, and from red to black. At this time, he seemed to be extremely angry, but he stopped and asked expressionlessly: "Let me guess, is it that Hu'er used a large number of horse troops, and he is more powerful with firearms?" ”

Na Mouke was speechless for a while, and after a while, he asked, "How did the prime minister know?" The Song army not only used a large number of cavalry, but also was equipped with a firearm, which was very powerful! Wan Hu personally led the elite cavalry assault, unfortunately was injured by the Song army's firearms, and we waited desperately to rush out, so we had to lead the army to retreat temporarily......"

"Haha! Ha ha! Hahahaha! Sticky Han laughed wildly, and everyone was shocked!

Wanyan Lousu was a Jurchen veteran after all, and he was about to go forward to ask, but when he saw that the minister of the country had left the lobby, he ignored the officials and turned into the back. Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and they all talked about it for some reason. It is said that the purple gold tiger is so bold that he does such a thing! The second general is unexpected, the second general is unprepared, and our army will be defeated in a row! How does this work? Revenge! Return to Chang'an! Capture Xu Wei alive! Eat its flesh and sleep its skin!

These people tried their best to deceive, but Ma Wu was silent. Seeing this, Lou Su asked, "Why didn't Ma Wu say a word?" ”

Ma Wu sighed lightly and raised his head and said, "I'm thinking, the Purple Gold Tiger will never stop fighting in Yaozhou." ”

"What do you mean?" Lou Su Tie's face was blue.

"Xu Wei dispatched a large army, is it just two places in Yaozhou for ten thousand years? He was removing the threat from Chang'an and clearing the way for further action. Ma Wu explained helplessly.

The hall suddenly exploded, and it turned against him! Dare to take further action? Destroy him! Countless voices shouted!

Lou Su stopped everyone and asked, "The peace between the two countries has been reached, does he dare to take this risk?" Doesn't anyone care about him? ”

"I guess that if the Purple Gold Tiger dares to take the initiative, it must be fearless. It may be that the young emperor instructed it, or it may be that he made his own opinion, anyway, before the matter is clear, anything is possible. In addition, if he dares to be so arrogant, perhaps someone has given him a handle. "The meaning couldn't be clearer, who can give him braids, only silver! And if there is indeed such a thing, you can guess it, eighty percent of it is Yinshu but there is no restraint on subordinates, killing people, demolishing houses, setting fires, and so on.

"Even if Xu Wei has any reason, so what? By doing so, he is bringing about his own destruction! Wan Yan Lou Su said in a deep voice. These words resonated with the vast majority of people present, and for a while, the voice of scolding Xu Wei was endless.

Ma Wu smiled secretly in his heart and did not echo them. Xu Wei is a little interesting, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future, I will play with him alone!

When there was a commotion in the hall, I saw the guards who often followed the prime minister striding out, Lou Su saw this and greeted him and asked, "Is the prime minister okay?" ”

"Yes." The guard answered, walked straight towards Ma Wu, and said, "The minister of state has an invitation." ”

Ma Wu didn't feel any difference, so he went to the back hall with him, but Lou Su grabbed the guard: "What? The prime minister only saw him? ”

"Yes." The guards are like gold. Lou Su let go and watched the two of them leave. The reason why he is so anxious is because there must be a reason why the minister of state only summoned Ma Wu to see him under such circumstances. At the beginning, he fought Chang'an, and he advocated it and stated all kinds of advantages. Ma Wu, on the other hand, was a resolute opponent and only summoned him now...... But he said that Jerumawu had entered the back hall with the guard, and was taken to a side room. Sticky Han sat on a chair covered with animal skins, with a stove on the floor, and the prime minister of Daejin was fiddling with the charcoal fire, thoughtful. At this point, he no longer had the anger he had before, but seemed to have calmed down.

After Ma Wu entered, the guards went out and closed the door. Sticky Han glanced up at him and said to himself: "This Nanren's buildings and all kinds of utensils are still useful. ”

This seems to be a sentence that doesn't sound boundary, but it makes Ma Wu hear the sound outside the strings. In the past, the prime minister of state, whether it was Liao or the Song Dynasty, sneered. Whether it's against the military, or something else. It's not easy to say that.

"Sit." Stickhan took the stick in his hand and gestured to the chair across from him. It was covered with a whole golden hide, and at first glance it was not a mortal thing.

Ma Wu sat down according to his words, and Mu Han split his head: "You are right, you should have attacked Huanqing in the first place." Instead of spending a long time in Chang'an, look at it, it's good now. After trying his best to reach a peace agreement with the Southern Dynasties, the Zijin Tiger didn't take it seriously at all. Within a few days, we defeated two of my strong teams one after another! The army is no longer enough food and grass, and I am ready to go back to Yanyun. At this time, something happened, and it was really ...... Alas, careless, careless, I should have thought a long time ago that in the face of the Purple Gold Tiger, I should be extra careful at all times. ”

Ma Wu was more depressed than him, and now things are difficult. The army will run out of food and grass, and it will be impossible to go around to fight again. Once the prime minister brings the army back to China, the forces remaining in Shaanxi will be reduced, and at that time, I am afraid that the Purple Gold Tiger will be even more rampant. Now that he has cleared the perimeter of Chang'an, he may have to fight next.

"The minister of state said seriously, no one expected that Xu Wei would ignore the peace agreement between the two countries and suddenly attack." Ma Wu said.

Sticky Han stopped moving, looked directly at him and asked, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Now that the food and grass are running out, if we gather a large army to fight, we will no longer be able to do it. However, although the Purple Gold Tiger is difficult, he is only a general in the end, and he cannot be the lord of Shaanxi. The last general believes that it is better to solve this matter through cultural disputes. ”

"You mean? Send envoys to put pressure on the Southern Dynasty? Let the young emperor suppress the purple golden tiger? Sticky Han asked.

"Yes, only in this way can Xu Wei really make a truce." Ma Wu nodded.

"But far water can't quench thirst near, you have to deal with the present first. What if he fights all the way? "Sticky Han is not at ease.

"This is reassuring the prime minister, before the war, countless homeless people poured into Chang'an, and our army surrounded it for three months, and no matter how much grain was stored in Chang'an City, it couldn't hold out for a long time. Zijin Tiger is just guarding all the way, he will never dare to go deep alone, even if he fights, it is impossible to touch Yan'an and the west bank of the river. It is impossible for other generals in Shaanxi to march with him. Moreover, most of the Hu'er army will avoid the plains and smooth roads, and go to dangerous places, and Yanzhou should be the next target. There is the danger of Qiaoshan, Zhengli Infantry Army, our army can be stationed in the elite of a division in Dunzhou to block Hu'er. ”

Sticky Han listened and thought carefully about the other party's suggestion. Neither of them spoke, except for the occasional plucking of the stove. It is estimated that even a meal should be eaten, and Sticky Han said: "That's all it takes." I immediately sent Li Zhi back to Hedong to raise food for emergencies, and sent the signing army, but I can't go back to Yanyun if nothing happens here. ”

After talking for a while, Ma Wu got up to say goodbye, but Mu Han was upset and didn't keep it. But as soon as the other party walked out of the door, he suddenly called: "Ma Wu." ”

"The prime minister still has orders?" Jeruma turned around five times and said.

Mu Han stared at him for a moment, and finally shook his head: "It's okay, you go." ”

The sun was rising, and the people of Chang'an, who were frightened by the war, finally found more or less the peace before the war during this time. The city is easy to reopen, and although supplies are still limited, it is much better than during the siege. The weather is so cold, and the most important thing is the coalcoal. The charcoal urgently transferred from Qin Feng is always in short supply. With Xu Dashuai's original knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, no one dares to make ill-gotten gains.

In front of a charcoal shop, there are a group of people around the black, some carrying bamboo baskets, some carrying baskets, and some carrying bags, from the dawn of the day, they come to line up, waiting to buy charcoal. At this time, the sun is getting warmer and warmer, but if you don't move for a long time, it still makes the excluded men unbearable to freeze.

"Damn, when did we take charcoal seriously in the past? When is it not a big car or a small car going home? It's good now, it's black gold! See, you may not be able to buy it! A man with his neck hunched and his hands in his sleeves kept muttering.

"What's your call? My grandfather was eighty-three years old, and his body was always strong, and when the golden dog came, he was scared and sick. Lang Zhong said that they may not be able to survive this harsh winter. Alas, pitiful, every night, when it was too cold, he pointed to buy 100 catties of charcoal and went back. I'm not afraid of your jokes, my mother-in-law just didn't split the bed as firewood! ”

"And where do you sleep two nights?"

"But! It's really frozen, go to the government! Let's ask Governor Xu to burn charcoal! ”

"Nonsense! Now you lack everything, don't you know? Even if you throw Governor Xu's mansion into the furnace and burn it, you won't be able to! ”

There was laughter all around, and someone shouted: "I said that you don't know how to do things?" Xiao Xu Jing is a little fair, you dare to joke? ”

The laughter stopped, and the man cowered and said, "Huh? Xu Zhifu is Shuai Si Xu Jingluo? This, this, I don't know! I heard that Jingzhao Mansion posted a list text, and what is the following payment Xu Zhifu, I thought it was ......"

"! I don't have any knowledge, all the Yongxing Army passes through a little pacification envoy, and they are also the Jingzhao prefect, these rules for dozens or hundreds of years, you haven't heard of them? Be careful, in case the public catches you and smacks you in the mouth! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, these people queuing up to buy charcoal stopped making noise, and turned their fingers at the charcoal line. Why don't you open the door? Is it another profiteer who hoards supplies? Don't have a head? Damn, go to Jingzhao Mansion to report!

"Ouch! That's not, Xu Dashuai! In the crowd, someone screamed.

Everyone looked over together, and saw a large group of people coming over on the East Street, all riding horses. There were officials in official robes, and soldiers in armor, and one of them wore a brocade jacket inside, a purple robe on the outside, a flower robe around his waist, and a gold belt. The head is crossed with the head and the feet are pedaled with short leather boots. The eyes are like torches, looking forward to life, the facial features are like finely carved, and the outline is like a knife chisel. is in his twenties, who is it if he is not Xiao Xu Jingluo?

The man who was joking was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, he really didn't know that Xu Zhifu and Xu Dashuai were the same person, and he was worried and uneasy at this time, and he couldn't wait to bury his head in his crotch!

"Hey, and Li Xuanfu? What's wrong? Why are all the directors here? ”

When this group of people went out of the West Gate, they didn't speak, Xu Wei's expression has always been very serious, but it was Li Gang in front of him, calm and calm, when he left Chang'an, he kept looking, as if he wanted to remember every brick and tile here. Zhang Jun followed behind and remained silent.

After sending ten miles of land, Li Gang finally spoke: "Okay, Ziang go back." ”

Xu Wei was speechless on the horseback for a while, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned around to look at Zhang Jun. The latter nodded: "The handsome man is at his own convenience." ”

Xu Wei turned over and dismounted, and Li Gang descended and followed. After all, he was a little old, and the weather was cold and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so Xu Wei hurriedly went to help.

After getting off the horse, the two walked forward without hurrying, and neither of them spoke.

Li Gang has officially stepped down from his post as Shaanxi's Xuanfu envoy, and he is waiting for his return to the country. Xu Wei rushed back from Yaozhou and made a special trip to see him off. Zijin Tiger felt that he had to come. Li Gang treated him like a senior, not only a subordinate and a superior, but also a senior, and even said protection. In this, of course, there is a relationship between the same Tokyo dispatchers, but to say it, Liu Guangshi and Yao Pingzhong both have a background in Tokyo, what is the result?

"What's next for you?" After a long time, Li Gang asked.

"Since the prime minister has been dismissed, he is not in his position, and he is not seeking his own government, so why bother with this again?" Xu Wei persuaded.

"Alas, the world is unpredictable. This official has been in Shaanxi for so many years, and he doesn't dare to say that he has made any achievements, but at least he is conscientious. I'm ashamed to find myself in this situation. Li Gang smiled bitterly. Then he looked sideways at Xu Jiu: "It's hard for you." ”

Xu Wei didn't have a feeling in his heart, and changed the topic and said: "I believe that in time, Xianggong will definitely be able to come out of the mountain again." ”

"Hehe, tell Ziang the truth. I am carrying the black cauldron for the imperial court, and of course, someone also wants me to carry the black cauldron. But it doesn't matter, no matter where I am placed, I will be left alone. Farming during the day, reading at night, passing the days of picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan. In the past few years, the books have also been left behind. Ziang, you are a general in the army, you can't specialize in the army, you have to study more, it's good for you. Li Gang instructed.

Xu Wei nodded solemnly: "Remember the humble position." ”

"Wang Shu is afraid that he can't support the situation, you have to support him more. I am asking you to temporarily preside over the military affairs of Shaanxi, and I estimate that this is the precursor to letting you 'build a festival'. Ziang, your future is limitless, but the more this happens, the more careful you must be. Don't make mistakes, when I am in Shaanxi, I can also support you for one or two. From then on, you'll have to be cautious. Hey, you're really not going to tell me what you're going to do next? ”

Xu Wei chuckled, and was about to answer, but Li Gang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you're right, not in his position." I don't have to worry about it anymore, don't send it, go back. ”

Xu Wei couldn't see the kind of goodbye and children's affection, so he immediately stopped and bowed: "Take care of each other!" ”

Li Gang didn't answer, Zhang Jun and the others caught up, Li Gang got on the horse with difficulty, and was about to raise the whip, but after a moment, he still turned around and said, "Ziang works hard." ”
