Six people huddled together and struggled through the fields. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Yong sat on the war horse in silence, bowed his head and said nothing.

but his heart is like boiling water.

The battle of Sanlonghe was lost too badly. 50,000 horses, taking advantage of the time and place, were simply defeated by thousands of tired troops from afar.

That's right, because the Changhong Array has no cavalry and lacks counterattack means, it can rely on rivers and mountains, which greatly limits the enemy's flank raids, and the effect is also excellent.

However, it was completely useless, and it was still defeated by the infantry.

From the beginning to the end of that battle, Zhang Yong was seen in his eyes, and the fierceness and arrogance of the Sizhou soldiers were terrifying, reminiscent of the Jurchen elite. After the baptism of blood and fire in that battle, Wang Shen's soldiers are no longer weaker than the Jurchens, just ask, who can resist it?

Not only the infantry, but also his iron cavalry charging into battle is also terrifying. On that day, as soon as the enemy cavalry arrived, the whole large array collapsed, and the soldiers lost their fighting spirit before they could even wait for the enemy to approach, and they threw away their weapons and fled.

In this way, there is no power to return to heaven.

Zhang Yong couldn't do anything, so he had to run all the way with his cronies. So far, he only has more than a thousand henchmen on hand. The army of 50,000 people in the past has now disappeared.

The elite who was trained in Tokyo with great difficulty was scattered, and he lost his foothold in this troubled era.

Since escaping to Cao Cheng, he has spent the past few days in a drowsiness.

Having lost his troops and taking refuge under someone else's roof, the former Zhang Mengzhu, who crisscrossed the north and south of the river and the Jianghan and Huai rivers, was afraid that he would never exist again.

Looking at the rice fields that had been trampled to rot by the soldiers, his heart was as messy as seedlings in muddy water.

I touched the formation map of "Changhong Array" in my sleeve.

I can't help but think, if Grandpa Zong hadn't died, I'm afraid I'm still working in Kaifeng at the moment. Don't think about anything, the man's husband serves the country, and when he gives an order, he rushes up to fight with the Jurchens.

Ru Lingong, why did you leave so early!

Just thinking about it, he saw Zhang Yong riding a horse coming from behind, and arched his hand: "Brother Alliance Leader, look at your face is a little haggard, you still need to take care of your body." You are the backbone of everyone, but you can't fall. ”

Zhang Yong smiled bitterly and returned the salute with his fists: "What alliance leader, the person who defeated the army, all his belongings have been lost, and I am grateful to be able to be taken in by Brother Cao." ”

"Ouch, how can the alliance leader's eldest brother say such a thing. I think that when our brothers rebelled out of the Tokyo Left-behind Division and taught Du Chong a hard lesson, you were the leaders, speaking of which, I still have Li Hong, and the horse friends who are now with Li Cheng are all your subordinates before. We will always regard you as our righteous big brother in our hearts, and take you as our alliance leader. ”

It is precisely because Cao Cheng still has several rebel leaders who have been his subordinates before, and their temperament is best known to him. Zhang Yong knew that as far as this Cao Cheng was concerned, he was nicknamed Cao Xiaogui, and he had a lot of flowers, and one of the ten sentences was true, even if he was dizzy early in the morning.

Hell it would be to believe him.

Zhang Yong: "Brother Cao has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if there is anything I need to do, please tell me." ”

Cao Cheng said "don't dare" and said: "Brother Alliance Leader, you see so many teams crowded together, you can't move at all. If it's just me all the way, it's a big deal to send someone to maintain it, and I can get the road through immediately. However, my subordinates were fine, and the others didn't buy it at all. You are also our big brother, do you mean that you can come out and coordinate it so that the armies can advance and retreat in an orderly manner. Everyone knows your methods, you are the best at the method of battle in formation, and you have the most experience in commanding the army. ”

"What kind of battle method, Hugh will mention it again." Zhang Yong sighed dejectedly and nodded: "Since everyone has a place to use me, it is naturally incumbent on you." However, Brother Cao, you don't have to worry, Wang Shen just took Anzhou, and after a big battle, the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted. It's hot and won't be chasing again. Otherwise, he may not be able to please him. Although Wang Daosi seems to like to take risks with his troops, in fact, every time he goes out into battle, he plans and then acts, which is extremely safe. ”

"Yes, yes, the alliance leader's eldest brother is right. You can get to the ground one day earlier, and you can rest assured one day earlier. The hearts of the brethren were troubled and in turmoil. Now that the alliance leader brother has come forward, I have nothing to worry about. Cao Cheng nodded again and again, and then pretended to comfort: "Brother Alliance Leader, rest assured, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is not a big deal to lose a battle." When they arrived at the land, if the army needed it, it was not a matter of money, food, or staff. If you get another turf and recuperate for another year and a half, you may not be able to recover your strength. ”

"With Brother Cao's words, then I have nothing to worry about. However, this Jianghan place is not big after all, Anlu and Ezhou have fallen into the hands of Wang Shen, and there is also a Song army in Jingzhou, so we still have a place to live there...... Brother Cao Cheng, where are you and the other brothers going? Zhang Yongcai asked in amazement.

He was so depressed that he couldn't see things for the past two days, and Cao Cheng did not inform him of all his military operations. So, he could only go with the flow, and the walking dead followed.

Cao Cheng: "I have discussed with several other brothers, Jianghan is not allowed to stay in this place. There was no choice but to go north. Suizhou is all mountainous, the terrain is dangerous, the partial population and land are quite rich, and they can still raise soldiers for the time being. ”

"What, but Suizhou?" Zhang Yong was taken aback, and immediately came to his senses: "Didn't Xiangyang fall into the hands of the Jurchens, and they could listen to so many of us to drive over to attack the state and occupy the county?" I can't even beat Wang Shen, how can I be a Jurchen opponent...... Cao Cheng, you don't want to descend to the Jurchen, do you? ”

Cao Cheng's eyes rolled: "What about the Jurchen, Brother Zhang Yong, when we raised our troops to the south, not only you and me, including Brother Wang Shan, but also Li Cheng and Li Tianwang, but they were all from Hebei." In Hebei, the Song and Liao fought for a hundred years, and the people of the two countries intermarried and interacted with each other. Speaking of which, we may also be Han people of Liao. Nowadays, the Jurchens have all the land of Hebei, for us Hebei people, it is just the emperor of Daliao who has been replaced by the emperor of Dajin, whose people do it differently, and the taxes that should be paid are indispensable. Even if the Great Song Dynasty restores Yanyun, we don't have to pay the national tax on imperial grain, and there is really no difference between changing the soup and not the medicine. ”

Zhang Yong said coldly: "It seems that Brother Cao really wants to enjoy the Jurchen, if that's the case, what will others think of us in the future?" That's a traitor! ”

Cao Cheng: "It's serious, it's serious." ”

Zhang Yong: "Besides, we can have today, and we can have such a big fortune, all because of the support of Ru Lingong back then." How many brothers sprinkled their blood in the Yellow River in the fight with the Jurchens, if they become traitors, what face will we have in the future to see Ru Lingong and see the dead brother, and a certain will definitely not agree. ”

"Brother Alliance Leader, you misunderstood, I really don't have the intention of descending to the Jurchens. Indeed, the name of the traitor is not good. Cao Cheng said with a smile: "I'm a northerner, and I really can't stand the humidity and heat of Jianghan, so it's better to go back to Henan." Let's go to Suizhou Ansheng, if the Jurchens come to attack, it's a big deal to fight with them. I really can't beat it, and let's talk about the question of where to go to survive. ”

Zhang Yong's face softened at this time: "That's right, this is the Cao brother I know." ”

Wait until Zhang Yong and his men go down to coordinate the army to ensure that the road is smooth. Cao Cheng's smiling face became gloomy, and he spat on the ground fiercely: "Lost dog, when you are the old allied brother, there are no soldiers, who will bird you?" ”

"This damn world, Lao Tzu has seen it clearly, no matter what his name, righteousness or cheekiness, he has to live first."

I thought in my heart, Xiangyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, now it is the territory of the Jurchens. I waited for us to flee to Suizhou, even if Wang Shen was bold, he would not dare to lead the army to Suizhou, which would lead the Jurchen to retaliate.

And now Xiangyang, since the Jurchens have transferred a large number of troops to Shaanxi, the troops are weak, and they have no strength to come to Suizhou to trouble me.

Now going over there to accommodate yourself is the best policy, and it is really clever, and I am beginning to admire myself.

It's just that the ghost knows when the Jurchens will mobilize a large army to suppress Suizhou, this feeling of walking a tightrope is really bad!

Whatever, let's take one step at a time, and take a breath first.

********************************************************

Finally in ambush, the weather is hell hot.

The clothes on his body had not been dried from morning to night, and in Li Heng's installation of envoys, all the staff and servants were so hot that they were crying bitterly.

Li Heng is strange, but on such a hot day, he is covered with a thin quilt, which makes people's hearts sweat.

At this moment, he was lying under a yellow cypress tree in the courtyard, with a wet towel on his forehead to cool down.

A maid was wiping the snot from his nostrils with a towel.

Li Heng suffered from a very severe fever cold, and after he went to the battlefield that day, he came back with a high fever. After only two doses of medicine, the fever finally subsided. But the whole body was soft, the snot and tears kept flowing, and the nose was blowing so much that the skin was about to wear out.

A Hu Cong walked in lightly, "Gong Li, I have already inquired clearly, Cao Cheng, Shang Yuan, and Zhang Yong have withdrawn their entire army to Suizhou, Xiangyang Prefecture, and occupied the entire state capital, and raised troops in Tuntian. ”

Li Heng sighed: "I originally thought that this Jianghan was in my hands, and the Sizhou army had laid a net of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect them to escape, but I thought that they were so bold that they dared to invade the Jurchen jurisdiction, isn't this a sheep into the mouth of a tiger?" ”

Na Hu Cong said: "Speaking of which, it is also Cao Cheng's luck, just a while ago, most of the Jurchen soldiers in Xiangyang were transferred to Shaanxi. Today, there are less than 3,000 Jurchens left in Xiangyang, although there are still some Hebei troops who have signed an army and recruited a large number of people, but Xiangyang City is too big, and it is difficult for them to defend the city, let alone attack Cao Cheng. Therefore, within three or five months, I think the Jurchens have not yet sent troops to solve the possibility of Cao Cheng. ”

"Xiangyang's Jurchen transferred to Shaanxi ......" Li Heng frowned, for a long time, with an excited look on his face: "Yes, definitely, Deyuan is really making a big move in Shaanxi, and it is really good." ”

"Subordinates unknown."

Li Heng said: "Guanzhong originally has the power of Allah, which is very powerful. But now, even the Jin army in eastern Henan has been transferred into the pass, and the war in Shaanxi is tight, and the troops are not enough. Zhang Deyuan's arrangement over there should be a lot of headaches for the Jurchens, and I guess it will be a big war as early as this autumn. Hey, Zhang Deyuan is really good, but it's a pity that I can't do anything in Jianghan now. ”

His nostrils were blocked, and he spoke in a loud voice, and his voice was full of unwillingness.

Hearing this, the congregation was also depressed.

Yes, Wang Shen is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't take everyone into account at all, and Li Xianggong can't get involved in military affairs at all.

He had just won another hearty victory and recovered the entire Jianghan. There is Du Chong in the middle of the court, and with this military exploit, I am afraid that he will open his teeth and build a mansion.

At that time, Li Xianggong couldn't stop him.

Could it be that this time Jianghan, everyone really came for nothing?
