Chapter 269: Only Death Fights!
On the third day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Guo Yaoshi led his troops to cross the river and captured Baimajin almost without blood.
It's a pity that this is the Song Dynasty, and there is no Guan Public Relations Yun Chang on Baima Jinshang. After occupying Baimajin, Guo Yaoshi did not act rashly, but first set up camp and sent people to Huazhou to persuade Cao Rong, the capital of Huazhou, to surrender. At the same time, Zongwang also accelerated the speed of crossing the river on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Yu Yin looked at the messy Tiansi Prison Camp, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word.
This is simply adding to the chaos!
There are nearly 10,000 horses in the camp of the Heavenly Prison, but at a glance, you can tell that they are the kind of war horses that are poorly managed and stunted.
Many horses are fat, and they are not suitable for rushing into battle at all.
That's it, the most infuriating thing is that none of the officials of the prison were missing, only a few hundred stables were left in the camp, and they were panicked, and they were useless at all. After Yu Yin inspected the Heavenly Prison, he was really angry.
"Commander, what to do with so many horses?"
Chen Dong frowned and asked softly.
Yu Yin thought for a while, turned around and shouted, "Gao Yaoqing." ”
"The end will be."
"You immediately go back to Kaifeng, and at the same time report to the front of the palace and Li Shangshu of the military department, saying that the Tiansi Prison is not inhabitable here, and must be relocated immediately."
"Whoa!"
Gao Yaoqing intervened to receive the order and strode away.
"Command, is to relocate, looking at the appearance of these people, I'm afraid it's also troublesome."
Yu Yin only felt that his temples were jumping suddenly, and his face was even more intensely murderous.
This situation was something he had never expected...... It really responds to the saying of later generations: If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.
Yu Yin didn't feel anything before, but now he really regrets it, he shouldn't sit in the position of the prisoner of the capital of the heavens.
Zhu Mengshu walked over and said in Yu Yin's ear: "Commander, you can't be merciful at this time. Immediately send people to arrest the officials of the Tiansi Prison who have left their posts without permission, in accordance with military law. Flee and behead them all.
Ci is not in charge of the army, and at this time, he must use thunderous means to deter these people...... Otherwise, it will become more and more chaotic, and it will even shake the morale of the army. ”
"Is the Heavenly Prison roster available?"
Without saying a word, Chen Dong asked people to take the roster of Tiansi Prison.
Yu Yin counted the stables left behind by Tiansi Prison one by one.
The Heavenly Prison is from the capital prison down. There was one separator, one separat, one separat, and one segeant, and under them a thousand and eighty sergeants, who were responsible for the management of the horses. Now there are only six hundred and twelve people in the prison on this day, and all the prisoners, the prisoners, and the prisoners are nowhere to be seen. It is said that after learning that the Jurchens had crossed the river, the three men ran back to Kaifeng overnight. As for running back to Kaifeng, what's the matter? Yuyin didn't want to know. I felt a rush of anger in my heart.
"Gao Pet, where is He Yuanqing!"
"The end will be."
"You and He Yuanqing each lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters. Immediately go to the military headquarters to meet Gao Yaoqing, and then arrest the deserter according to the name and address on the list? Before noon, be sure to arrest this cadre and return to the camp, there must be no mistake! ”
Gao Zhong and He Yuanqing glanced at each other, intervened to receive the order, and roared away with the eighty cavalry.
Yu Yin glanced at the Tiansi Prison Camp, "Where is Pang Wanchun?" ”
"The end will be."
"You lead the people of the headquarters and stick to the camp of the Heavenly Prison.
If someone acts without permission. It can be killed on the spot, and there is no need to report it. ”
Yuyin has always given people a slightly elegant feeling. But you must know that he accompanied Yu Liyan to assassinate Yelu Dashi in Kedun City. Help Yelu Yu Liyan lay the foundation of Western Liao. There is a ruthlessness in his bones, but he is ignored most of the time. Zhu Meng said that he was not wrong, Ci is not in charge of the army! The armaments of the Great Song Dynasty are already erosive, and at this time, there can be no mercy, otherwise this Muhuogang military village. Before the Jurchens arrived, they would be defeated. ..., after a series of orders were issued, Yu Yin led the people and left the Heavenly Prison.
When he turned around the Mutuogang Military Village, Ling Zhen also rushed over when he heard the wind, and his face also had a little panic.
Speaking of which, although Ling Zhen is in the military, he is not a soldier in essence, but more like a military scientific researcher in later generations......
Grew up in Kaifeng, almost never left Kaifeng Mansion in this life, how can I not panic when I hear that the war is about to start?
However, he was in a panic, and Ling Zhen did not flee.
"Xiao Yi, is there really going to be a war?"
"yes, I'm afraid there will be a war!"
Ling Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "I thought I could live a safe life, but I didn't think that in the end, this kind of deed was indispensable.
Xiao Yi, there are still 600 soldiers in my imperial camp, so I handed it over to Xiao Yi to command.
In addition, I brought 300 improved palm mines...... It's a pity that the time is too short, and I can't do more, I wonder if it can come in handy? ”
Three hundred palm mines?
Yu Yin frowned, few is better than nothing!
"So, thank you, uncle."
But he thought about it for a while, and then said, "Uncle, I will discuss something with you. ”
"Xiao Yi, please speak."
"Gather your men and horses at once, and search for vehicles in the surrounding villages. I have horses here, and a lot of baggage in the military fortress. I estimate that by the afternoon at the latest, the imperial court will collect all kinds of grain and grass into the city. Mu Huogang is located in the northwest, which is exactly where the Jurchen soldiers are pointing. Once lost, these nearly 10,000 war horses, as well as the baggage in this military village, will be cheaper Jurchen...... Annoyed with my uncle's hard work, try to bring the materials here back to Kaifeng City. ”
Yu Yin said it very tactfully, that is, he refused to join the six hundred sergeants of the imperial camp.
It's not that he wants to do this, but in his opinion, the six hundred sergeants of the imperial camp are a drop in the bucket at all, and they are useless.
If you don't make a good one, you will even mess up your own camp, which is really worth the loss.
Ling Zhen is not a person who doesn't know what to do, although Yu Yin didn't understand it, he also knows that he may not be able to look down on his own soldiers and horses.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial camp, to put it bluntly, are set up to guard the armor warehouse, and there is no practice on weekdays.
The craftsmen in the deterrence workshop are still successful, but if it is said that they will fight in battle, even Ling Zhen himself does not think that he can achieve results.
When he said this, it was an attitude.
I've got you covered!
Look at your horse.
Don't look at Ling Zhen stationed outside the city, but this information is very smooth.
He has already gotten the news of what happened on the street last night...... Xiao Yi this time, I'm afraid it's going to be developed!
The merit of saving the driver, although it is only the prince who saved it, it is also the merit of saving the driver. Who doesn't know. The official family has only this one son. In addition, the official family favors the queen Zhu Lian, and he is not like the temperament of the emperor of Huizong, and the position of the prince is bound to be as stable as Mount Tai. In this way, Xiao Yi's favor in the future will inevitably not be less. Don't look at him as just a conductor now, but as long as he has saved enough credit, he will soar sooner or later, and his future will be limitless.
Don't show your attitude at this time. When?
Although the relationship between Ling Zhen and Yuyin has always been very good, this attitude of standing in line has never been shown.
After all, once he takes sides, his relationship with Yuyin will also change. In the past, he was Yuyin's elder, and they were also equal to each other. But once he stood in line, he and Yu Yin became a master-slave relationship, with Yu Yin being the master. Ling Zhen is obedient.
Ling Zhen had seen the drill of the Mutuogang Military Village, and naturally knew how powerful this army was.
The 600 people in their own house are really nothing to be honest...... Pang Wanchun's arrow team. It can kill 600 people in the imperial camp in a single stick of incense. Therefore, even if Yu Yin didn't want these soldiers and horses, Ling Zhen could understand it.
"One more thing, do you need a gunner in the Little B Army?"
"Huh?"
Ling Zhen hesitated for a moment and said softly: "There is a craftsman in my camp, and it is indeed not a simple ...... It's just that this person has a bad background, his master once rebelled with Song Jiang, and later died in battle during the conquest of Fang La. This man is extremely skilled and can repair ordnance. It's a good hand. But his identity is a little embarrassing, so he has nowhere to go. ..., if Xiao Yi is interested, why not leave this person behind?
At that time, his master had some friendship with me and asked me to take care of him. It's a pity that my own skills are not enough. It can only keep him safe. ”
Craftsman, and a good gun?
Yu Yin suddenly became interested, so he asked, "What's the name of that guy?" ”
"This person is nicknamed Fire Leopard, named Liang Yucheng.
His master was a famous craftsman in Jingdong in the early years. He is known as the money leopard Tang Long. It's a pity that he was bewitched by Song Jiang and others to be a thief, so that his reputation was ruined. I see that his ability is not bad, if he stays under me, he will be nameless for a lifetime, it is better to let him follow Xiao Yi, and he can also fight for fame, but I don't know if Xiao Yi is willing to accept this person? ”
Yu Yin was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled!
There was a golden gunner Xu Ning before, and now there is an apprentice of the money leopard Tang Long, which is really interesting.
"Since it was recommended by my uncle, my family is also a little interested."
"So, I'll call him when I get back."
Ling Zhen sat in the military village for a while, then took his leave and left.
He went back and ordered his subordinates to look for Che Zhan, not to mention, Yuyin ordered Niu Gao Dong to strengthen the guard in the army first to prevent accidents.
Chen Dong took Ji Qing to take stock of the affairs in the Tiansi Prison, and seeing that there was no one else, Zhu Mengshu suddenly asked: "Why does Xiao Yi think that the imperial court will not fight a decisive battle with the thieves outside the city?" ”
Yu Yin, it's silent!
How should he answer?
In fact, he didn't know exactly how the Song army and the Jurchens clashed this time.
After all, he is not a person who studied Song history, and his understanding of Jingkang is only the siege of Kaifeng twice and the shame of Jingkang.
All arrangements are made on instinct.
Yu Yin thought for a while, "Da Lang thinks that with the ability of the forbidden army now, can he fight with the thieves?" ”
"This ......"
Zhu Meng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
Yu Yin's answer made him really not know what to say. The Tokyo Forbidden Army was originally the most elite unit of the Song Army, and Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, in order to weaken the military power of the feudal town, ordered the elite soldiers of the feudal town to be drawn and formed the forbidden army.
At that time, the Tokyo Forbidden Army was indeed amazingly combative.
It's just that now, the 800,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo have a false name, and they are not worthy of a war at all.
Field?
There are really 800,000 forbidden troops, and with the current situation of the forbidden army, I am afraid that it will also be meat buns and dogs, and there will be no return......
"In my opinion, the official family may not choose to fight in the field.
Kaifeng City has thick walls, although there is no danger to defend, but if you rely on the strong city to fight, the thieves may not be able to break through. As long as it can be delayed for some time, there will be the arrival of the Qinwang Righteous Army. At that time, the thief will not dare to continue to entangle. ”
"Well, there's some truth to that."
Zhu Mengshu nodded and agreed with Yu Yin's statement.
"In this way, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on to this Mu Camel Gang for too long."
"Yes, in my opinion, after most of the horses in the camp are removed, they can be withdrawn to Kaifeng City."
So I went back to the city at once. Try to find some more chauffeurs. ”
Yu Yin said: "Please ask Da Lang." ”
Things have developed to this point, and to be honest, it was a bit unexpected for Yu Yin.
originally thought that he could go to Suojube to defend against the Jin soldiers, but who knew that the Song army was so vulnerable, and the speed of the Jin army's southward movement was really amazing. Ten days, or even less than ten days, the Jin army reached the banks of the Yellow River. Not only occupied Junzhou, but also crossed the river by the wayside. Seize the White Horse ...... In this way, it is useless to remove sour dates.
Should we say that the Jin army was brave, or should the Song army be incompetent?
Yu Yin sat in the big tent and gently rubbed his temples...... It turned out that when this was a real war, it was more complicated than expected.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At noon, Gao Yaoqing, Gao Chong and He Yuanqing escorted more than 200 people back to Mutuogang. ..., the Pastoral Division was originally subordinate to the Taifu Temple, but during the Zhenghe period, Ma Zheng was attributed to the Privy Council. Incorporated into the Ministry of War.
Li Gang, the secretary of the military department, was appointed and was busy handling official business.
I heard that the Heavenly Prison was scattered, and there was a large-scale rout. Li Gang was immediately furious.
However, he is still sensible, and he reconciled with Yuyin before and cooperated twice, so he didn't blame Yuyin.
Besides, although Yu Yin is named as the capital supervisor of Tiansi, he belongs to the front division of the palace.
saved the prince last night, Li Gang really wanted to trouble Yuyin, and he also needed to think twice.
Li Gang immediately let Gao Yaoqing and the three of them. Deserters were apprehended on the basis of the roster. There was one detaineer, and one of the detainees was blocked in his house, and he was tied with ropes. The hook officer was not found, and it is said that after leaving Mu Huogang, this guy fled to Luoyang overnight.
Li Gang at this time. I didn't have time to send someone to Luoyang to arrest such a hook officer.
So I wrote down the man's name and prepared to settle accounts after the fall.
Except for the two officials, as long as the rest were deserters who fled back to Kaifeng Mansion, none of them were taken down. There are a few people left. disappeared, thinking that he had fled Kaifeng. It is not an easy task for these many people to be arrested.
Fortunately, Yu Yin didn't care, and when he heard that these people had been arrested, he ignored them and ordered them to be killed outside the gate!
Two hundred and eighteen heads fell to the ground, making the Heavenly Prison, which had been in chaos before, suddenly quiet. Yu Yin used these two hundred and eighteen heads to warn those people to stay honest, otherwise they would be a master who would kill people.
As Yu Yin guessed, in the afternoon of the same day, the military department issued an order to prepare for war with all its might!
In the early dynasty, Emperor Qinzong was persuaded by Li Bangyan and others to prepare to move to Yingtianfu in Nanjing, but was strongly blocked by the new imperial historian Chen Guoting. Later, Li Gang and others reprimanded Li Bangyan, and even talked to Zhao Huan about the benefits and disadvantages, which finally made Zhao Huan make up his mind to fight. Li Gang was appointed to be fully responsible for the battle of Kaifeng, and if anyone said anything about escaping, he could cut it first and then play.
Li Gang was ordered to immediately organize the people of Kaifeng, repair the turrets, place the artillery crossbow stones, and prepare to rely on the high walls of Kaifeng to fortify the city and fight to the death with the Jurchens. Then, he took over the forbidden army from Gao Yu, and on all sides of the capital, he was equipped with 12,000 forbidden troops, supplemented by the box army and the armor militia to assist in the defense. The 40,000 Ma Bu Army were the front and rear left and right Central Fifth Army, and the Jinmingchi 8,000 Navy practiced day and night. It's ridiculous to say that practicing now is basically a temporary cramming. But there is no way, it is better to have Buddha's feet to hold than not to have Buddha's feet......
Subsequently, Li Gang ordered the front army to be deployed outside the Tongjin Gate to ensure the safety of Yanfengcang.
The rear army was stationed outside the Chaoyang Gate, responsible for defending the area of Fanjiagang, the shallowest and narrowest of the Kaifeng moat, so that the Jin soldiers would not approach the city gate.
The order that Yuyin received was even simpler: to ensure that the 120,000 stone grain and grass in the Mutuogang military village should be safely transferred to Yanfengcang, and the 9,800 and 12 war horses in Tiansi Prison should also be transferred as much as possible and sent to Yuetai for handover.
After the transfer of baggage and horses was completed, Yuyin led his troops to garrison Fanjiagang......
When Yu Yin received this order, he couldn't help but bared his teeth for a while.
"Let the more than 600 people in the Tiansi prison be responsible for driving the vehicles, ordering the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp, and being responsible for loading the vehicles...... Look for a vehicle as much as possible, and be sure to move the grain and grass as soon as possible. Until these things are settled, we have to stick to this place. ”
Niu Gao couldn't help but ask, "What if the thief comes?" ”
Zhu Meng said that after thinking about it, "The thieves are only the pioneers who successfully cross the river, and if the army all crosses the Yellow River, I am afraid it will take a few days." In addition, there is still a Song army stationed in Baima, and I have heard that Cao Rong and Cao Ning, the commander of Huazhou, are also rare generals. Thinking that they may not be able to capture the thief, but at least they can contain the thief and the soldiers. …,
In this way, it will take at least five to seven days for the thieves to reach Kaifeng, and we will step up our actions to transfer these baggage. ”
Cao Rong, Cao Ning......
Yu Yin always felt that these two names were somewhat familiar.
Seeing Dong Xian's gloomy face, he suddenly remembered that Dong Xian had worked in Jinan Mansion before, and it was said that he would be suppressed because he offended people. By the way, it seems to be called Cao Rong,! No, it doesn't seem to be because of this......
Yu Yin really can't remember, and time waits for no one, five to seven days, transferring 9,800 horses, and 120,000 stones of grain and grass, it is not an easy matter. It is necessary to step up, and to look for chariots as much as possible.
This Li Gang too, you want me to transfer the baggage, if you don't deserve to give me a chariot, how can I transfer?
However, Li Gang is now the secretary of the Ministry of War, the imperial envoy of the four walls of Kaifeng, and is fully responsible for the defense of Kaifeng. Yu Yin was dissatisfied in his heart, and he could only hold on. Fortunately, we still have a high yain in our hands, which can come in handy.
"Da Lang, Shaoyang, San Lang!"
"Humble."
"The matter of transferring the grain and grass and the horses will be handed over to the three of you.
I will let Ji Qing lead the miscellaneous soldiers to assist, and Wang Min will ask the archers of his department to protect the safety of the baggage horses, and be sure to transfer all the baggage before the thieves arrive. ”
Zhu Mengshuo and the three of them glanced at each other, and then Zhu Mengshuo and Chen Dong's eyes fell on Gao Yaoqing.
These two people are human spirits, how can they not hear what Yu Yin means?
I just arrange the task, and how to complete it is the business of the three of you......
Gao Yaoqing smiled bitterly, "Xiao Yi, I suddenly feel that I have come to the wrong place...... Anyway, I'll be in charge of the chariot war. I don't dare to say how many chariots I can find, only that I will try to find them. However, these people alone may not be able to. Xiao Yi had better try to find more people to come, so as not to delay the big event at that time. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
