Chapter 131: The Good People and the Grass Bandit

When Chu Tianya was chatting privately in Wang Yu's room, Wang Xun and some generals outside the door had already quarreled angrily and generouslyβ€”they were going to pursue Yan Zonghan!

The noise was so loud that Chu Tianya and Wang Yu in the room heard it.

Wang Yu sighed, closed his eyes and shook his head, "The dog is also in his thirties, and he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, but he is still so frivolous and shallow. After Yan Zonghan, even if he was defeated and left, his army would not collapse. What's more, he didn't lose big, but he was making a strategic shift because of the lack of food and grass. Rashly pursuing at this time is simply sending a sheep into the mouth of the tiger - he will be ambushed! ”

Chu Tianya nodded and said, "But Seven Star Mountain has already deployed an interception plan. I heard Ada say that Bai Xu's arrangement is quite appropriate. If we don't cooperate in Taiyuan City, it will be difficult for them to succeed, and they will suffer a lot of losses. ”

"If this is the case, then we must cooperate with Qixing Mountain to send troops, otherwise we will trap our allies in passivity, which is a great injustice." Wang Yu closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said: "The dog is too rough and anxious, if he leads the troops to attack, he will definitely be defeated in an ambush." If you lead the troops to attack, you may be able to crack it, but ......"

"What are the concerns of the teacher?" Chu Tianya asked.

Wang Yu turned his head to look at him: "But this will delay you from going up Taihang Mountain." If you don't get up the mountain before Xu Han takes over Taiyuan, you may be caught by him. ”

Chu Tianya wrinkled his eyebrows and thought for a while, and said, "Teacher, weigh the pros and cons, it is more important to lead the troops to attack now. It is still unknown whether Xu Han will take me, and there is still room for maneuver and adaptation at that time. Now, let's focus on the big picture. ”

Wang Yu pondered for a moment with a sad face, sighed lightly and had to nod, took out a seal letter from his side and handed it to Chu Tianya, and said, "This is the Shengjie military talisman, the old man will leave it to you for safekeeping for the time being." You can order 20,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the city to pursue Yan Zonghan. Remember, don't chase it all if you don't want to win. Cooperate with friendly forces and bargain for some bargains. Wanyan Zonghan's hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and it is not as easy to deal with as you think. ”

"The students remembered." Chu Tianya took the seal letter with both hands and prepared to walk with his feet raised.

Wang Yu suddenly grabbed his robe, "Tianya, remember not to be strong, let alone waste time!" You'll have to give yourself some time to get out! ”

Chu Tianya sat down on his sickbed again, held his hand and said, "The teacher doesn't have to worry, the students naturally know it." The teacher only needs to take care of his body, and the student will return from killing the enemy and then resign to the teacher! ”

"You don't have to come back. If the pursuit is completed, you will leave the army decisively as soon as possible and go up to Taihang Mountain. Wang Yu said, "The old man won't be able to die for a while, at least until Xu Han comes to take over Taiyuan." Even if he dies, the old man must die clearly, and he can't allow others to pour some dirty water on the old man. It's you, the long time in the coming day is a heavy responsibility, and you must not be rash. No matter what happens in Taiyuan, you don't want to come back, you know? Your family, the old man will send someone to send them out of the city overnight, and he will meet you in Taihang Seven Star Mountain. ”

Chu Tianya nodded and stood up, "The student has gone!" ”

Wang Yu let go of his hand, let out a long breath, and lay limply on the sickbed.

Walking outside the door, Chu Tianya didn't say a word and showed the soldier talisman seal letter given by Wang Yu, "This general will be ordered by Wang Dutong to order his troops to go out of the city and pursue the enemy army!" ”

The generals were discussing this matter, and when they suddenly heard this command, they were all in high spirits.

Wang Xun stepped forward first, hugged his fists and said, "I am willing to listen to the general's orders!" - Tianya, point me to be a pioneer! The Jurchens raised by the dog 61 mother, Lao Tzu has endured them for a long time, and finally looked forward to the day of revenge and blood hatred! ”

The generals all shouted, "Point me, point me!" ”

"I'll be a pioneer!"

……

"Silence!" Chu Tianya shouted, "This general personally led the headquarters army patrol as the vanguard to explore the battle, Wang Xun, Ou Shun, Deng Changda, Li Xing, and Guo Yan each led 3,000 elite foot soldiers, and then responded to my orders; The rest of the generals obeyed the orders of the prefect Zhang Xiaochun and sat in the city of Taiyuan - there must be no mistake! ”

As soon as the generals heard it, this order was clear and clear, and they were simply decisive, so they didn't have a word, and they hugged their fists together at the moment, and they all boiled their fists.

has been pressed and beaten by the Jurchens for more than 100 days, and everyone is holding back their anger, who doesn't want to beat them back?

Although there is no one in Taiyuan City now, there is no one who is not exhausted and exhausted, and it is difficult to even walk and talk. But as long as it is said that it is to beat the Jurchens to avenge their blood hatred, then they are all like chicken blood, and the dying can also jump on the spot and resurrect with full blood.

As a result, Wang Xun and the others recruited 10,000 or 20,000 murderous "elite" foot soldiers without much effort, and lined up to stand by at any time. These sergeants were all skinny and ragged, but when they heard that they were going to pursue the Jurchens, they were instantly full of morale, and they all turned into hungry wolves screaming.

The military patrol under Chu Tianya was also assembled, the initial more than 13,000 people, and later many replenishments, now there are only 5,000 people left. They may not be very strong in combat, but the most important characteristic of this group of people is that they are strictly disciplined and prohibited.

Because he had seen a lot of corruption and depravity in the Great Song Dynasty army before, Chu Tianya reflected on this, and believed that discipline and style were a fundamental problem affecting the combat effectiveness of the current Great Song army. Therefore, since Chu Tianya took over this army, he has constantly instilled his own philosophy, and has always put 'discipline' and 'style' in the first place. By now, the two characteristics of "strict discipline and prohibition" have almost become the label of "Chu Jiajun". No matter how many times the military patrol has been carried out, and no matter how large the number of personnel changes and adjustments, the temperament of this army has never changed.

Now, the troops of the Chu family army and Wang Xun and others are standing together in the array. The sergeants of the other units were all shouting and discussing with enthusiasm, all waving their fists and swords impassionedly; Only every sergeant in the Chu family army stood still without squinting, and Hugh said that it was loud and noisy, and there was no one who exchanged ears.

Sharp contrasts, at a glance!

The collapse of Mount Tai is not frightened, the Haihe River flows backwards but not chaotic, quiet as the ancient stone, moving the tiger of the mountain, this is the effect of Chu Tianya; Only strict discipline can create such an effect.

When the soldiers gathered their troops, Chu Tianya called Xiao Linglong aside and said to her, "You will go home in a while and ask Uncle He and them to clean up." Overnight, on the Taihang. ”

"Now?"

"Well, now."

Xiao Linglong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "What about you?" ”

"I'm going to lead my troops to pursue Yan Zonghan. When this is done, I will come up to you on the mountain. Chu Tianya said, "I don't know much about the road. You can ask Ada to wait for me at the foot of the mountain. ”

"Why don't we all wait for you in the city and go up the mountain together?" Xiao Linglong said.

Chu Tianya shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't go back to Taiyuan City again...... Don't ask so much, just do it! ”

"Okay. This time, listen to you. Xiao Linglong smiled slightly, "Remember, I didn't kidnap you up the mountain, huh?" ”

"It's really unprecedented, Lord Xiao has become so obedient." Chu Tianya smiled, "It's not you who kidnapped, everyone gets drunk if you don't get drunk, okay?" ”

"You don't come to this set." Xiao Linglong glanced at him, "You remember clearly, it's your own business that you want to go to Taihang, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Chu Tianya smiled, "It's useless for you to tell me this. Because outsiders will think that I was tempted by a stunning female village owner, and I couldn't control myself because of this. ”

"Just know how to be poor!" Xiao Linglong said angrily and funny, "Don't delay your work, go and straighten out your people!" Uncle He and Xiao Ai, I will arrange them. We're waiting for you at the cottage. ”

"Hmm!" Chu Tianya smiled and nodded, looked at Xiao Linglong a few times, and strode away.

Xiao Linglong also left the Dutong Mansion one step later, and just went out, but bumped into a large number of women, who were the Yaksha Girls Army who followed her.

The female soldiers sent the leader to ask Xiao Linglong if they also followed the male soldiers to pursue the Jurchens? - These women hated the Jurchens no less than the others. Because most of them have fathers, brothers or husbands who died in this war!

Seeing these women who were full of intentions, Xiao Linglong couldn't bear to lie to them, so she bluntly said to them: "We didn't receive a military order to pursue. Pursuing this kind of work is not something that female soldiers can do, after all, we run slowly. And also...... From this day forward, I am no longer the commander of the Yakshas. After the battle is over, I, a bandit, naturally want to return to Taihang Mountain. ”

"What?" All the women were taken aback, and immediately surrounded Xiao Linglong three layers inside and out, desperately trying to keep her from leaving.

Xiao Linglong had to smile bitterly and patiently explained: "The Yaksha Army was originally a temporary force, and it was not recognized by the government and the army. Now that the battle is over, it is time for you to disband and go home. I am the fugitive county lord of Liao, and my identity is very sensitive; In addition, I am a giant Kou Xiangma on Taihang Mountain, and the court and the army cannot tolerate me. It won't be long before the commander of the royal division sent by the Great Song Dynasty will take over Taiyuan City. If I don't leave, won't I be in prison for delivery? ”

When the women heard her say this, it was not easy for them to stay together. It's just that this friendship with life and death and sharing weal and woe really makes it difficult for them to give up. At that moment, many women began to cry. Xiao Linglong had to persuade each other one by one, and she was also quite reluctant and sad.

At this time, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Lord Xiao, take me up the mountain together!" Anyway, my man is dead and my home is gone! As soon as the Yaksha Army was disbanded, I was simply homeless! Either I'm going to beg for food on the streets, or I'm going to be a slave and a prostitute - I'd better go up the mountain with you! ”

As soon as these words came out, it seemed to remind many women, and they immediately shouted loudly that they had to follow Xiao Linglong up the mountain together.

This was really a bit unexpected by Xiao Linglong, she was a little stunned on the spot, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

At this time, Chu Tianya, who had just gone to the military patrol camp, passed by here and saw a group of women surrounding Xiao Linglong in the middle and arguing, so he stepped forward and said, "You heroines, what are you arguing about here?" ”

As soon as the women saw Chu Tianya, they immediately seemed to see a savior, and surrounded him in turn, saying, "Chu commanded you to come just in time, quickly persuade Lord Xiao and let her take us up to Qixing Mountain together!" Taiyuan has no place for us, if she doesn't take us away, our future fate will definitely be miserable! ”

Chu Tianya was stunned for a moment, looked up at Xiao Linglong, and saw that Xiao Linglong also looked at him with a look of help and helplessness.

Chu Tianya was also in trouble now, and said with a wry smile: "There is one thing you have to figure out, you are not going to go to the market, but going up the mountain and falling into the grass." As long as you take this step, you will be grass thieves from now on, and you will no longer be a woman from a good family. ”

The women were stunned for a moment, and one of them said, "Commander Chu's words are on the road. The sisters all figured out for themselves, whether they would like to stay in Taiyuan to beg for a living, or go up the mountain and fall into the grass - if you want me to say, in this chaotic world, the officials are more fierce than the robbers, and the thieves who fall into the grass are more benevolent and righteous than the nobles of the officials. I think clearly, I'd rather go up to the mountain to be a thief, or marry a thief to be a Hun family, than stay in this chaotic world anymore and be a good family girl to be slaughtered! ”

The words seemed to wake up many people, and several women echoed loudly at the moment, "Siniang is right!" There are few people with a conscience in the world, and the most unconscionable group of people have become officials of the imperial court! Now that we are ruined and dead, we have no scruples, so we might as well go up the mountain and fall into the grass! ”

"That's right! Let's all follow Lord Xiao and go up to Taihang Mountain! ”

"Golden branches and jade leaves like Lord Xiao can also live in the cottage, why can't we?"

"Call all the sisters and follow Lord Xiao to Taihang together!!"

……

The women quarreled and became more and more excited. Chu Tianya and Xiao Linglong looked at each other and smiled. Chu Tianya nodded at her and motioned for her to agree.

Xiao Linglong shook her head helplessly, nodded again, and then smiled.

Chu Tianya saw that Xiao Linglong smiled quite calmly and comfortably. It can be seen that she is also quite reluctant to this group of sisters who live and die with her.
