Chapter 487: Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (18)
There was no edict for help from Bianliang City, and Gao Yang, who was anxious, couldn't wait.
After learning that Yan Zongwang's army had captured Kaide Mansion, Gao Yang had a bad premonition in his heart.
In less than twenty days, Wanyan Zongwang's army had already marched all the way into Henan. The speed and determination of this march was unprecedented! Wanyan Zongwang made a big decision this time.
When Gao Yang learned that this was the first year of Jingkang, his deepest hope was to prevent the appearance of the terrifying scene like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in history. Don't let this civilization that has been ahead of the world for thousands of years be reduced to the horse racing ground of the northern Hu riders again!
This is the era when Europe lost its civilization and was reduced to the age of barbarism. At this time, the Central Plains civilization represented the whole world! Gao Yang is unwilling and cannot allow this glorious civilization to die out under his nose!
In the case of not getting the edict for a long time, and Wanyan Zongwang's army is rapidly approaching Bianliang City. Gao Yang immediately made up his mind and immediately led the victorious army south to rescue Bianliang City! I can't take care of anything else now.
Outside the city of Yingzhou, the camp of the Changsheng army.
Gao Yang summoned the main generals of the victorious army to issue combat orders within the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Wanyan Zongwang's army has approached Bianliang City, but the Song court still has not sent an official document asking for help." Gao Yang, who looked tall in a military uniform, sat on the platform. With a solemn expression, there was no wave in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "It can be seen from Wanyan Zongwang's southward journey at the beginning of the year that Bianliang City is already very dangerous at this moment. In order to prevent the Jurchens from capturing Bianliang City, I decided to personally lead the Changsheng army south to rescue Bianliang City. ”
The generals in the big tent all looked at each other. I don't understand why the Jurchens are already approaching Bianliang, and at this moment of crisis, why don't those big officials in the Song court hurry up and beg us to save their lives?
Those Northland Han people who followed Gao Yang all the way to Hedong Road all the way looked indifferent.
For them, as long as it is Gao Yang's order, it is good to obey them unconditionally. Follow Gao Yang to eat and drink well and get money. Most importantly, win every time! For military men. This is a very fatal attraction. They believe that Gao Yang can lead them to victory after victory!
As for those former Song generals who had recently joined Gaoyang, they all had different expressions. But most of them showed expressions of joy or relief.
The time for these people to leave the Song State and join Gaoyang is still short, and they still have the Song State in their hearts. Gao Yangken took the initiative to go to the rescue in this situation, which made them very admired in their hearts. The icing on the cake is common, but it's really rare to send charcoal in the snow!
No one is stupid.
Everyone can see that in the troubled times, only with soldiers and horses in hand can there be a foothold. Willing to use his own strength to rescue others is really a very valuable thing.
Gao Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his cold gaze slowly swept over the faces of the generals in the tent, taking in their expressions. The eyebrows are slightly raised. He smiled and said, "Since there is no objection, then this matter is decided." ”
Standing up, his expression was solemn, and a breath of superiority naturally emanated. After staring around, he focused on Yue Fei's body, and said in a deep voice, "Yue Fei." ”
Yue Fei, who was dignified and tall, immediately came out of the crowd and bowed. Say loudly: "The end will be!" ”
Gao Yang looked at him and said in a deep voice, "After I lead the army south, Yingzhou City will be handed over to you." Wanyan Zonghan in the north will definitely take advantage of this good opportunity to go south and try to contain the Changsheng army. Although Wanyan Zonghan gathered a lot of military horses, their military morale was not high. And. There are not many people of the Jurchen clan who are capable of fighting. It shouldn't be too difficult to cope with your abilities. ”
With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly in the tent. After groaning slightly, he continued, "There are a large number of displaced people outside this Yingzhou City at the moment, and it is not possible to fight in Cage City. It is necessary to keep the Jin army out. That is to say, it must be field. The outcasts outside the city may be panicking, so you need to calm them down. ”
When Yue Fei heard that he couldn't go to the rescue of Bianliang City, his originally resolute face couldn't help but show a slightly gloomy color. But. Soon recovered. Wanyan Zonghan in the north is also difficult to deal with!
"The materials in the craftsman camp and the baggage camp are used as they please. I will send you a batch of sergeants from the various armies, and the newly recruited recruits in the boot camp will also be handed over to you. Before I come back, I must guard Yingzhou City. Gao Yang came to Yue Fei's side, stared at him with bright eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"The last general commands!" Yue Fei's expression was solemn, a strong battle intent appeared in his eyes, he bowed and saluted with his fists, and shouted loudly.
Gao Yang nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Yue Fei's shoulder gently, and said, "Please." ”
Gao Yang promoted Yue Fei from a partial colonel all the way to the position of the head of the first army, not to mention the fact that he was in charge of the army, and also handed over the important rear battalion to him to take care of. In this era where love and righteousness are the universal law, this grace of knowing is not an exaggeration.
According to the moral standards of this era, Yue Fei has been firmly labeled as a member of Gaoyang's faction, and he is also an important person. When outsiders mention Chang Shengjun and Yue Fei, they will say that he Yue Fei is Gao Yang's confidant.
Pick up at the end of the micro and entrust it with a heavy responsibility. For Yue Fei, who values love and righteousness and adheres to principles, it is false to say that he is not moved in the face of this kindness.
It's just that the idea of serving the country with loyalty in his heart has been bothering him, and now he has been at war with the Jin State and has nothing to say, but what if Gao Yang and the Song State have a conflict in the future? At that time, how should I deal with myself? In the dead of night, Yue Fei would also be confused.
Since in order to protect his robes in the pacification army, he has taken the initiative to serve Gao Yang. Yue Fei was shocked by the environment here, which was completely different from that of the Song Kingdom.
Among the victorious army, no one dared to withhold military salaries and vegetable money. Those who dare to do so are dead. And the military salaries of the victorious army are all cash!
This is not only less than half of what Yue Fei saw when he was in the Song Kingdom, but after the first layers of deductions as a commander fell into the hands of ordinary soldiers, most of them were paper money!
As early as a few years ago, when the southern expedition to Fangla and the northern expedition to Liao, the paper money had been depreciated very badly. When it was just issued, it was directly degraded by 30%, and no one wanted it for more than three years. Paper money has little purchasing power at all.
Yue Fei had witnessed the bleak and miserable life of those low-level sergeants. Especially those sergeants who have been in the military all their lives with their families, even to the point where they even need help from their robes in their daily lives.
The Great Song army almost always collapsed at the touch of a button when it encountered the Jin army, and one of the reasons for the great deal was that the army had no will to fight.
I can't even eat enough on weekdays, and if I die on the battlefield, what will happen to my family? My wife and children are still hungry at home! Who would die for those bosses and the court who lay on their stomachs and sucked blood?
In addition, the Chang Shengjun is stronger than the Song State, that is, they do not eat empty quotas. As an important means for generals to make money, eating empty quotas was available in almost all armies in the Song Kingdom.
In addition to the palace guards who were all on duty, the armies of all parts of the Song Kingdom had a large number of vacancies. Yue Fei's previous Pingding Army was relatively good, and the commanders did not eat much of the empty quota. But in some places the army has eaten more than half of the empty quota!
There were 100,000 troops on the surface, and when they came all the way to the place where they confronted the Jin army, after deducting the empty amount and those who fled along the road, the rest was actually less than half. Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the morale of the army does not decline rapidly.
There is no such thing at all on the side of the Chang Shengjun. Yue Fei himself led an army. He knew very well that there were real places in his army, and even in the rest of the armies.
Gao Yang is extremely strict with these things. That Fang Mingjing checked all the military expenditures in three days, and if anyone dared to do these things, they would be sent to Gaoyang at that time.
There was once a military general who followed Gao Yang all the way from Yandi to Hedong Road, and he also made great achievements. All the people who followed Gao Yang from Yan Di were all considered to be Gao Yang's hardcore henchmen.
The general was killed directly without even interrogation because he deducted part of the salaries of the soldiers under his command. and he was in the camp for three days.
Gao Yang also spoke, whoever dares to intercede is all guilty!
There was no deduction of food and wages among the victorious army, and there was no empty amount to drink the blood of the soldiers. The supply is completely open. There is also an invincible commander with a great reputation, how much more than the war horse!
How can an army capable of doing this not have a strong fighting force? Yue Fei never believed that the Jurchens were invincible. Chang Shengjun perfectly illustrates his point of view.
At this moment, Yue Fei's mind was all on defending Yingzhou City and resisting the attack of Yan Zonghan's left army. Something else, we'll talk about it then.
The next morning, it will be dark. Gao Yang, who got up early, washed up, tidied himself up and went to the yard to smoke.
The dim light in the distance dragged a dark silhouette of the sun in the courtyard, and the last moment before the turn of night and day left a deep gray hue as far as the eye could see.
This dazzling moment in front of me is as dazzling as Keigo Higashino's endless white night, which makes people can't bear to look at it directly.
Throw away the cigarette, move your wrists and ankles, and do a few stretches before starting to soothe your body.
"The war is about to start again." Gao Yang hooked, took a light breath, and said a little gloomy, "Actually, I don't like war, because people will die." Everyone will have their own story, and every story is a world. But war can put an end to many people's stories. ”
War kills. Each one is unique to himself. Everyone has their own story, everyone has their own life.
And the war will put an end to this qiē! (To be continued......)
