Chapter 32: Please go north
Just when Cao Cheng secretly screamed, my life is resting, and I am waiting for death with my eyes closed, Ji Qian's iron fist was forcibly held by a big hand. Ji Qian struggled a few times, but she didn't break at all. Ji Qian glared at a pair of bull's eyes and roared, "Yang Maozi, you let Lao Tzu go." ”
It was Yang Zaixing who saved Cao Cheng.
Facing the furious Ji Qian, Yang Zaixing just grabbed Ji Qian, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Ji, although Cao Cheng's mouth is not clean, his sin is not to death." Give Yang a thin noodle. ”
At this time, Zong Ze, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. He slapped the big seal in his hand on the table with a bang, and shouted angrily, "Stop it for the old man." This is the big tent of the Chinese army, not a place where the blood of the men in the rivers and lakes is splashed five feet. Ji Qian, Cao Cheng, if you don't stop, don't blame the old man for beheading you to show the public. ”
Ji Qian glared at Cao Cheng fiercely with her eyes, shook her fist, and then retreated to Yue Fei's side. Yang Zaixing smiled bitterly and retreated to Zong Ze's side.
Zong Ze has always acted decisively. Now Zhang Qian has been frightened by the dog's guts, standing on the side of the big tent, and he doesn't dare to come out. So Zong Ze no longer pretended to be deaf and dumb. Yue Fei's division of horses is very much in line with Zong Ze's meaning.
The only thing that made Zong Ze a little unhappy was that Yue Fei actually gave Zhang Yong a thousand war horses. Zong Ze originally admired Zhang Yong very much, and was able to abandon the foundation of Qingfengling to go to King Qin of Bianliang, proving that Zhang Yong was also a good man. But he didn't expect that as soon as Zhang Yong arrived in Bianliang, he quickly became one with Cao Cheng. What's even worse is that Zhang Yong used this person to act very tactfully, he not only had a relationship with Cao Cheng, but also had a close relationship with Wang Shanqi.
Now that Cao Cheng and Zhang Yong are hugged, Yue Fei should not give Zhang Yong's war horse. This will only allow Zhang Yong to expand his power. However, Zong Ze also knew that Zhang Yong was also extremely brave when he fought with Sha Guzhi a few days ago. If you talk about war merits, you should indeed get a war horse.
Now there are 20,000 war horses, 10,000 belong to the Protector Army, and 10,000 belong to Zong Ze's lineage. Li Cheng is grateful for Zong Ze's grace of not killing, Yang Zaixing is grateful for Zong Ze's kindness, not to mention Zhao Shixing and Li Wang, they are all Zong Ze's most trusted generals of the rebel army. Therefore, Yue Fei did not give Zong Ze a war horse on the surface, like Chen Qu did not get a one. But that's only because Chen Qu already has 5,000 cavalry under his command. And with Chen Qu's skills, commanding 5,000 cavalry has reached the limit.
The eunuch Zhang Qian didn't know that Li Cheng and Yang Zaixing had become Zongze's descendants, so he lowered his head and listened to Yue Fei with his ears pricked up. Seeing that Chen Quan didn't get a war horse, the eunuch secretly said in his heart, it seems that Yue Fei has fallen out with Zong Ze, and he would rather give the war horse to these grass horses than to Zong Ze's personal generals. Okay, good, that's the best. When our family returned to Yangzhou, we also had something to say when we saw the saint.
Although Zhang Qian knew that Li Cheng and Yang Zaixing were very close to Zong Ze, he didn't care. Although this person is a eunuch, he has the same idea as the Zhao and Song royal families, and he believes that all grass cowards are thieves who forget their righteousness for profit, and they will never repay their kindness.
And Zong Ze's next performance made Zhang Qian firm his speculation.
Zong Ze said to Yue Fei, "Pengju, Ji Qian fought in the military tent, and he should be beheaded. Ben Shuai Nian Ji Qian fought bravely. Spare his life for now. However, Ben Shuai is very dissatisfied with your division of horses. Although your Protector Army has made great achievements, it is too much to have 10,000 war horses alone. ”
Yue Fei knew Zong Ze's intentions, and immediately said without giving an inch, "Those who have merit will be rewarded." Those who have made great contributions will be rewarded. Isn't it the strategy of the commander to govern the military? Yue Fei divided the horses according to Zong Shuai's strategy for governing the military. Our Protector Army has 10,000 horses, which is by no means a lot. ”
Zong Ze frowned, as if he had an extreme headache. "But there are still so many generals who haven't been assigned war horses, it's not fair to them."
"Since the meritorious are rewarded, of course the unmeritorious should be punished." When Yue Fei said this, he deliberately glanced at Cao Cheng and the others with his eyes. "If the unmeritorious also have to share the war horse, it will be unfair to the meritorious soldiers. Zhang Qin, do you say yes? ”
Zhang Qian didn't expect Yue Fei to suddenly point the finger at him. He was about to say no, but when he saw Ji Qian squeezing his big hand, he suddenly felt his neck tighten. Immediately smiled bitterly, "What General Yue said is very true, and what he said is very reasonable." ”
Zong Ze had been waiting for Zhang Qian's words for a long time, and since Zhang Qian said it, Zong Ze immediately said, "Since Lord Angel is also in favor of dividing the horse like this, Zong naturally has nothing to say." ”
Cao Cheng watched Zong Ze and Yue Fei sing and flicker Zhang Qian in harmony, and couldn't help but be angry. He made up his mind not to let Zong Ze and Yue Fei have a good time. So he got up again and said, "The last general of the war horse doesn't want it." But there are still 30,000 surrendered Han'er troops, is General Yue going to swallow it alone? ”
Yue Fei sneered, "Since our Protector Army and General Li Cheng surrendered together, of course, General Li Cheng and I will deal with the 30,000 Han'er army." Cao Cheng, you haven't made an inch of success in this battle, so you should keep your mouth shut and be embarrassed and conspicuous. ”
Cao Cheng had already decided that Yue Fei would not kill people in the big tent. Besides, with Yang Zaixing here, his life will definitely not be in danger. So Cao Cheng made up his mind to fight Yue Fei to the death. He also sneered, "Although the 30,000 Han'er army is a surrendered army, they are all athletes from the Bohai Sea in Liaodi. The Jin people regarded them as servant envoys, but in fact, these Han army were all good cavalry, all of them rode inferior horses and had strong bows. General Yue, you have a really good idea. ”
Zhang Qian's ears stood up. He didn't take the surrender of 30,000 Han'er into account. Hearing Cao Cheng say this, he remembered that the 30,000 Han soldiers were not strong men forcibly recruited by the Jin soldiers, but veterans of the Han army who had fought with the Jin soldiers for several years.
If Yue Fei is allowed to reorganize these 30,000 surrendered troops, wouldn't the power of the Protector Army be even more indispensable. No, our family is fighting to the death, and we have to say a few more words.
Zhang Qian cleared his throat and said sharply, "Zong Shuai, General Yue, the Han'er army is originally a rabble, why should you hurt the harmony of the generals because of these rabble." In our opinion, wouldn't it be better to break up the 30,000 Han'er army and distribute it to the generals together, so that everyone can be happy. ”
Yue Fei still said without giving an inch, "No matter how you divide it, I want at least 10,000 Han troops." ”
Li Cheng also said loudly, "The Han'er army was captured by me, and I also want 10,000 Han'er troops." ”
In the end, the generals fought in the big tent for half an hour, and finally determined the fate of the 30,000 Han'er army. Yue Fei divided the army of 10,000 Han children. Li was an army of 8,000 Han children. The remaining 12,000 Han troops were divided up by Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, Zhao Shixing, and Li Wang.
Those who should be robbed have also been robbed, and those who should have been divided have also been divided. Yue Fei knew that it was time for him to break up with Zong Ze. Now there are no Jin soldiers near Bianliang in Luoyang, but Kaide Mansion in Mengzhou, Huazhou, on the north bank of the Yellow River, is fighting with hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers. I can't just care about Henan, but I have forgotten the Central Plains fathers on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Of course, more importantly, Zong Ze is now quite suspicious of Zhao Gou. If he joins forces with Zong Ze again, it will only make the emperor even more afraid. In this case, why not divide the troops in Yanshi City, Zong Ze will go to Luoyang, and I will cross the river to the north?
Thinking of this, Yue Fei took advantage of the gathering of the generals in the tent, took a step, and said loudly, "Zong Shuai, now there are no golden soldiers on the south bank of the Yellow River, but the Hebei West Road is still under the iron hooves of Zong Han's army. Yue Fei is willing to receive a general's order, cross the river to the north, and fight to the death with Zonghan's army. ”
"This," Zong Ze hesitated a little. Even though Yue Fei bravely penetrated the three armies, and even though the Protector Army blocked ten with one, there were hundreds of thousands of Jin troops on the north bank of the Yellow River today, which was definitely not comparable to a mere sand ancient quality. If the Protector Army makes any mistake on the north bank of the Yellow River, the situation in the Central Plains will definitely plummet.
Zong Ze hesitated, but it didn't mean that the eunuch Zhang Qian would hesitate. As soon as he heard that Yue Fei volunteered to cross the river to the north, he immediately screamed, "General Yue is worthy of being a pillar of the country." led an army by himself and crossed the river to the north, even if Di Wuxiang was reincarnated, I am afraid that it would not be as brave as General Yue. Master Zong, since General Yue invited himself to go north, why don't you pass on the general's order quickly! ”
The reason why Zhang Qian was so active was to use Zong Han's hand to destroy the Protector Army. Even if it can't be destroyed, under the blow of Zong Han's hundreds of thousands of Jin troops, the Protector Army will definitely be greatly damaged. So when he shouted Zong Ze's order, he was almost violent.
Zong Ze sighed. Crossing the river to the north is one of the strategies that Zong Ze has long formulated. But now his first task, or the first task given to him by the imperial court, is to let him guard Luoyang, Xijing, and the mausoleums of the royal families of the Zhao and Song dynasties. Yue Fei was right, and now the Song army on the north bank of the Yellow River is fighting hard. After all, under the blow of hundreds of thousands of golden soldiers, even if there is a strong city in hand, it is not easy to defend it.
Liu Yan and Zhang Xie, the two commanders of Huazhou, had already sent several letters asking for help, and after saying that, Yan Bali was very anxious to attack the city quickly, and the Jin soldiers repeatedly attacked the city, but they were all repelled by the Song army. However, the Song army in the city suffered heavy losses. Please send reinforcements quickly and so on.
Huazhou is the center of Hebei West Road, and if Huazhou is not lost, Zong Han will not dare to go south. So Zong Ze pondered for a moment and decided to agree to Yue Fei's request to fight.
Zong Ze said in a deep voice, "Pengju has the heart to contribute to the country. How could this commander stop him? From now on, Pengju can let the infantry division and cavalry division of the Protector Army prepare to go north, and three days later, the old man will personally march for the Protector Army by the Yellow River. ”
Yue Fei said, "Thank you, Zong Shuai. ”
Zong Ze turned his gaze to Yang Zaixing, who was eager to try. Since the big battle with Jin Bing, Yang Zaixing's blood has been ignited. He knew that if he stopped on the south bank of the Yellow River, there would be absolutely no battle to fight in a short time. So he wanted to go north with Yue Fei. But he couldn't figure out Zong Ze's thoughts, so he didn't dare to go out to fight.
Zong Ze said with a smile, "Yang Zaixing, if you cross the river to the north and go north, do you dare to fight the Jin soldiers head-on?" ”
Yang Zaixing said sharply, "If Zaixing has to cross the river, he will capture Zong Han and Zong Shuai!" ”
"Zaixing is really full of guts!" Zong Ze laughed, and suddenly his face sank, "Yang Zaixing listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"I order you to lead 10,000 soldiers and cross the river with Yue Fei. After crossing the river, you quickly go to Huazhou to relieve the siege of Liu Yan and Zhang Xie. Can you be confident? ”
"Even in the face of Zong Han, the last general dares to kill him seven in and seven out. Just a complete face pulled out of the speed, and dared to attack my slippery state. The last general will bring up the head of others to see the commander. ”
