Chapter 5 No Entry into the City
This song is full of Jianghong, there is no tragedy of anger, but there is compassion for the sorrow. It is also Yue Fei's surviving lyrics. Yue Fei groaned, and Wang Gang immediately slapped his ass, "The master is amazing." Export into chapters. It's a really well-written poem. ”
Yue Fei said, "Oh, you bastard boy actually knows poetry. Tell me what's good? If you can't say it, I'll let you stand for two hours tonight with a big iron gun. ”
Wang Gang's face suddenly became bitter. Piercing a horse stake for two hours is more tiring than a big battle. Wang Gang rolled his eyes and found Gao Huimin beside Yue Fei, and immediately shouted, "Huimin, hurry up and save your brother." You're a showman, you must know this song. ”
On this expedition, Yue Fei brought Gao Huimin and Yue Yun Niutong with him. The woman should be rich, and the son should be poor. Yue Yinhua can be blessed in the Li Mansion. But Yue Yunniu Tong Gao Huimin doesn't want to be the eldest young master. Yue Yun Niu Tong is a natural general, and he must not become two gentlemen in this life. As for Gao Huimin, his body is also strong now, and he is no longer the weak Xiucai scholar he was before February.
When Niu Gao led the third division back to Erlongshan, he not only left his mother in Li's mansion, but also left Niu Tong with Yue Fei. Yue Fei even speculated a little maliciously that Niu Gao must have regarded Niu Tong as a proton. Don't look at Niu Gao's five big and three thick, but there are no more eyes in the heart. In this case, of course, Yue Fei was not polite, and practiced Niu Tong every day.
At this time, Gao Huimin was taking out his charcoal gray pen and writing down Yue Fei's poem on a piece of paper. Turned a deaf ear to Wang Gang's rescue.
Yue Fei looked at Wang Gang and scolded, "You bastard. If you don't learn, you can learn from others. If you don't fix it, you'll be a sycophant in the future. ”
Wang Gang was scolded and laughed. Suddenly, he pointed his hand in the direction of the city gate. "Master, Master Huang is back. Hey, Lord Huang's face doesn't seem to be very good. ”
The Protector Army arrived at the east gate of Bianliang yesterday evening. Because it was getting late, Yue Fei was not busy entering the city, but camped on the spot. This morning, Huang Zong volunteered to go into the city to meet Zong Ze. Yue Fei originally wanted to enter the city with Huang Zong. But Huang Zong immediately said, "Anyone can enter the city." Only Yue Shuai can't enter the city at this moment. Du Chong regards our people's army as an enemy. If there is an unforeseen heart, Yue Shuai is trapped in the city, and it is extremely difficult to escape. ”
Yue Fei said with a smile, "In that case, Lord Huang can't enter the city either. You are also a big man in our Protector Army. ”
Huang Zong said with a smile, "Huang Moujie is a scholar, so that Du Chong will not risk breaking with Zong Shuai to kill me." When I went to the city, I first saw the situation in the city. If everything is stable, it will not be too late for Yue Shuai to march into the city again. ”
Entering the city with Huang Zong was Guo Jin and Li Heng. Although the two of them are not good at brains, they are definitely fierce generals on the battlefield. But all three people who left the city were dejected. Walking up to Yue Fei, Huang Zong smiled bitterly, "Yue Shuai, Xiaguan entered the city this time, it is humiliating to the mission, and it is considered nothing." ”
Yue Fei sighed. "Could it be that Lord Huang didn't see Zong Shuai?"
Huang Zong shook his head. Guo Jin next to him scolded. "What does Zong Shuai look like, I didn't see it. I saw a mad dog surnamed Du. Let us kneel down and salute. I'll go to his grandmother's, if it weren't for Lord Huang's repeated instructions, I would have smashed him to death with a stick. ”
Li Heng saw that Yue Fei's face was uncertain, and hurriedly pulled Guo Jin. Only then did Guo Jin stop scolding and confess to Yue Fei. Huang Zong clenched his fists and said, "Yue Shuai, the grain and grass of our army may be a little troublesome. Zong Shuai is not in the city. Three days ago, Zong Shuai led the three commanders of Lu Qing, Chen Qu, and Gong Jing to Luoyang. Prepare to defend Luoyang. Now it is Du Chong who sits in Bianliang. ”
"What?" Yue Fei was really taken aback this time. If even Zong Ze is no longer in Bianliang, then what is the battle to defend Bianliang. If Du Chong's villain can hold Bianliang, unless the Jurchen Middle Route Army all gets the plague.
"How many military horses did Zong Shuai bring?"
Huang Zong said, "There are a lot of military horses. The three commanders have a total of 50,000 elite soldiers. There are also more than a dozen righteous troops such as Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, Yang Jin, and Ma Gao, with a total of more than 300,000 people. But the biggest problem is not in the soldiers and horses, but in the grain and grass. I met Kong Yanzhou in the city, although this person has taken refuge in Du Chong, he still admires Zong Shuai. He said that Zong Shuai had accumulated grain and grass in Bianliang City that could be consumed by a million-strong army for two years. But this time he went to Luoyang, but Du Chong only gave Zong Shuai two months' military rations. ”
Yue Fei felt that there was a ball of anger burning in his body. The purpose of the imperial court is very clear, it is clearly to kill people with a knife. Because Zong Ze's prestige was too high, the imperial court did not dare to publicly denigrate Zong Ze. took the opportunity of the Jurchen invasion to push Zong Ze to the front line.
Although Luoyang is also a famous city in the world. But in the spring, it was captured by the Jurchens once, and most of the city walls were demolished. Zong Ze's hundreds of thousands of troops arrived in Luoyang, and there was no city to rely on. It is completely necessary to confront Zong Han's Jurchen Iron Cavalry head-on.
For most of the past six months, Zong Ze has put all his energy on the defense line between Bianliang and Luoyang. For the defense of Luoyang City, there is no way to take care of it. But Du Chong's poisonous move directly drove Zong Ze out of the carefully established defense line. All the castles and all the ditches not only do not play a role in protecting Zong Ze, but may become an obstacle to the retreat when Zong Ze retreats.
That's all. What's even more odious is that Du Chong didn't even prepare grain and grass for Zong Ze. This confrontation with the Jurchens, anyone with a little eye, can see that it must be a protracted battle. What is there enough military rations for two months!
What's even more terrifying is that if it is said that it is two months of military rations, it may not even be enough to eat for a month. Because there are also more than 100,000 rebels in the Luoyang area, they are in need of military rations from the imperial court. Zong Ze is the kind of official who loves the people like a son. How could it be possible to watch hundreds of thousands of rebels starve to death. If the rebels are helped, the grain and grass will definitely be eaten quickly. When the time comes, send someone back to Bianliang to urge grain, will Du Chong send grain and grass?
Yue Fei looked at the snow-covered Bianliang City, and in addition to anger, there was also a trace of enlightenment in his heart. It seems that Zhao Gou really gave up the Central Plains with an iron heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to let Zong Ze die. Maybe Zhao Gou's surrender table has been written, and he is ready to become the emperor of the Jin Kingdom.
In this case, why should he take care of the face of the court. Sooner or later, there will be a break. It is better to take this opportunity to attack Bianliang in one fell swoop and kill Du Chong and Zhang Yiqian.
Thinking of this, Yue Fei couldn't help but aim his iron gun at the gate of Bianliang City, preparing to give the order to attack Bianliang. But Huang Zong saw Yue Fei's thoughts from Yue Fei's ever-changing face, and hurriedly grabbed Yue Fei's iron spear and shouted loudly, "Yue Fei can't be handsome." Now is not the time to turn his face with Du Chong. At present, if we attack Bianliang, let the righteous men of the world despise the Protector Army. ”
Yue Fei said coldly, "Lord Huang, Du Chong is a wolf, if you don't kill him, not only will the sect marshal be planted in Luoyang, but even our people's protectors will not dare to go to Luoyang." This man will cut off the retreat of our army at any time. At that time, it will really be the tragedy of Shenzhou Lu Shen. ”
Huang Zong said, "I saw Du Chong in the city this time, this person is very stubble, and he kills innocents indiscriminately to build his authority, and the righteous army in the city is disheartened, and he is not able to fight at all." His cronies, Wang Shan, relatives and other generations, also have different intentions and are not attached to him. So don't worry, Du Chong dares to go out to cut us off. As for the grain and grass, we only need to put on a siege posture to force Du Chong to take out the grain and grass. But we can't really use force, people's words are terrible, and the mouth of the world is terrible. What our Protectors are doing is inherently deviant. If you openly rebel again, you will definitely lose the support of the people. ”
Yue Fei thought about it for a while, and finally understood that Huang Zong's words were still very reasonable. What the Protectors are doing is a deviant thing. If you openly cause chaos, you will definitely lose people's hearts. At that time, no matter how brave and good the Protector Army is, it will not be able to stop the two-sided attack of the imperial court and the golden dog.
Yue Fei let out a long breath, looked at Huang Zong, who was excited, and said, "Fei Fei is in a hurry. If it weren't for Lord Huang's sober mind, I would have ordered the siege. Fortunately, Lord Huang came to accompany the army this time, otherwise the Protector Army would really become a thief. ”
Huang Zong saw that Yue Fei was finally persuaded, and he also breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and said with a smile, "Yue Shuai is good at everything, but his temper is too violent and he is not forbearant enough." Although Du Chong's thief should be killed, he must not be killed at this time. ”
Yue Fei looked at Zhang Xian, Wang Gang, Ji Qian and the others beside him, and found that these people were all on fire, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. They are all rectal men who are not patient enough. But what Yue Fei likes is this kind of man. Yue Fei doesn't like conspirators, nor does he like scheming politicians. Therefore, Yue Fei often wondered a little, relying on these rectum men alone, they could expel the golden dog, but could they build a better country?
However, it is clear that there is little point in thinking about those ethereal visions now. At present, the most important thing is to force Du Chong to deliver grain and grass. Not only his own army of 50,000 needs grain and grass, but Zong Ze's army of more than 300,000 also needs grain and grass.
Bianliang can't be attacked, but grain and grass can't be left unwanted. Yue Fei gave an order. The 10,000 former troops of the Protector Army set up an attack posture outside Bianliang City. The drums of war sounded, and tens of thousands of protectors put on a strict attack formation, covering the sun with swords and guns, and the murderous spirit was soaring.
Yue Fei pointed his big gun at Qi Fang, a thief standing at the head of the city, and shouted loudly. "Qi Fang, it's not difficult for me to be for you. With you, the rabble, you can't stop my attacks. I'll give you half an hour now, and quickly call Du Chong over. If half an hour has passed, Du Chong can't be charged, I will blast open the city gate with thunder and kill you without leaving a piece of armor. ”
The Protector Army has broken the gold ** army, and its prestige has long spread throughout the Central Plains. Although Qi Fang thought highly of himself, he did not think that his army could withstand a wave of attacks from the Protectors. The city wall of Bianliang more than ten zhang high could not give Qi Fang a sense of security. Yue Fei's words frightened Qi Fang's legs and stomach, and he ordered his soldiers to guard the city gate. While running down the city tower by himself, he personally went to ask Du Chong to stay behind.
