Chapter Fifty-Seven: Strange Clouds
Bianliang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe center of the Great Song Dynasty, the prosperous capital of a thousand years ago, has carried the peak of Chinese civilization for more than a thousand years. With a population of one million, rare in the world, when the entire West was still in ignorance and uncivilized, this pearl of oriental civilization has bloomed its most dazzling and prosperous appearance.
Bustling streets, bustling crowds. This is a real picture of the Qingming River, condensing the peak city of the entire Central Plains civilization, whether the people in each imperial city are small families, or large wealthy families, or the scoundrels in the street Goulan Washer, everyone's face has a rich expression, but it is the only one who does not have the invasion of the strong enemy, the sense of the end of the world. As people say, prosperity must decline, no one would have thought that this Great Song Dynasty with a gorgeous appearance would become a hell on earth in two years according to the trajectory of real history! The Jurchen cavalry slaughtered most of Bianliang. Plundering countless Han women, gold and silver wealth, the second emperor of Huiqin lost his dignity like flies and dogs with shackles on his back, and was used as a prisoner by the Jurchens and exiled to the cold and bitter land of the northern country. Han style bones, Chinese blood, short tail is difficult to continue!
"Get out of the way! Move! Urgent military situation, quickly dodge! ”
In the middle of the beams, on the wide official road, a team of people and horses went straight to the central mansion like a whirlwind. Along the way, the tall horses were like giant beasts, rampage, like a few raging monsters! The knight on the horse shouted loudly. Non-stop, whirling by. The vendors on both sides of the street were frightened and rushed to get out of the way, and a large number of vegetables were scattered on the ground, and some of them could not dodge and were even splashed by the vegetables and soil splashed under the horses' hooves. provoked a group of people in the market to curse a burst of vulgar warriors, thieves with soldiers and the like.
At this time, the Great Song Dynasty, the literature was heavy on martial arts, and the scholars and the imperial power ruled the world together, adhering to the idea that everything was inferior only to the high level of reading, and the dynasty was the pillar of the public's convincing virtue in the Tianzi Hall and the examination for fame, as for those martial artists who danced with knives and guns, in addition to vulgar behavior and greedy desires, there seemed to be nothing worthy of praise from the people. This century-old metropolis has long been invaded by a sluggish atmosphere, and even the hundreds of thousands of metropolitan guards guarding Gyeonggi are useless. Extravagance and peace made this group of elite Han troops formed by Boss Zhao at the beginning of the founding of the country have already transformed into hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are no different from the common people after a hundred years of peace and contentment. It is called the army, but it is actually no different from the people. As for the wolf-like golden people north of the Yellow River~, it's just like the Liao people in the past, and paying a few years of tribute will make these barbarians honest. And the things and conversations that this Great Song Dynasty cares about from top to bottom are still which lyricist and what lyrics and songs have been composed, and which girl who can sing and dance has come in on top of Fan Lou. The comfort of Goulan's Vasheri. Which prince and grandson got into some romantic debts.
The family and the country are all over the world, and a leaf is obscured to cover the eyes and ears. The frog in the warm water doesn't know that the burning fire under the water is enough to burn this Great Song Dynasty to the dark and broken!!
On top of a restaurant on Bianliang Main Street. Kang Wang Zhao was dressed in a brocade robe, wearing a rich brocade crown, a folding fan in his hand, sitting leisurely in a good position, next to the window of the compartment, there were a few delicate dishes on the table, a pot of good flower carving, three personal guards guarded by him, and Zhang Bangchang on the opposite side of the table. Zhang Bangchang looked at the dissatisfaction that was whistling downstairs and said, "These vulgar soldiers! It's really getting worse and worse to understand the rules. In the inner city, you dare to act so arrogantly! At first glance, he is a barbarian from the border army! The old man is going to join the military town and accuse him of a big crime of not being strict with the emperor and disturbing the Beijing division! ”
"Lord Zhang! Why bother! It's just a few military men, and they can't set off any big waves! Besides. These fighting men are like this, can you still ask them to be like the Confucian students in Taixue! Zhao Gou chuckled.
As he spoke, he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip of himself.
"What the prince said is that the old man is reckless! The kung fu of nourishing qi is still not at home! It should be punished, it should be punished! Zhang Bangchang said with a smile. He also raised the wine glass in front of him and drank a full glass.
"I don't know what the situation is in Taiyuan? What news does Lord Zhang have? Zhao Gou said lightly.
"When I heard that the envoy of the peace was killed by the Jin people, all the princes in the court and the central government thought that the peace negotiations were not well completed, but who expected that the Jin people would not turn over any more storms. Listening to the responses of many border ministers, the Jin people did not make any big moves. The sergeants who rushed to the aid of Taiyuan also withdrew. Peacefully let the Jin people take the three towns, and then they took it, so that this group of Tartars rejoiced for a while, it was nothing more than some rich women with them, and when they were satisfied, they would leave. At that time, the three towns of Taiyuan will automatically return to my Great Song Dynasty. Zhang Bangchang stroked his beard and said.
"Mr. Zhang is very optimistic. The Jin people are cruel, I'm afraid it's not easy for this group of guys to be satisfied, and I heard that the Jin people still need Liu Ping's head in the peace request? King Kang said.
"Hehe, lord, who doesn't know that the beggar who has sprung up in the army is not welcome, I heard that this guy is rash and rash, and he actually made a great contribution by mistake. The three armies are not synchronized, and the main trunk is taken over at the end of the section. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse, the generals of the Western Army don't have a good impression of this beggar, if it weren't for the fact that the military horses under this guy can fight, can he be so domineering! Zhang Bangchang snorted coldly.
"However, all the people and horses obeyed the edict of the court, and they all retreated, just this Liu Ping ignored the edict and rashly marched into the army, wanting to resist the Jin people with the strength of an army, bah, I really don't know whether to live or die. I don't think if you don't have to get to Taiyuan, you will be annihilated by the Jin people, and you will retreat 10,000 steps, even if he repels the Jin people and relieves the siege of Taiyuan. I'm afraid that when the time comes, an edict will be sent to Bianliang, and he will not be punished for disobeying the holy decree! Zhang Bangchang still did not forget the humiliation that Liu Ping brought him that day, on the contrary, this humiliation became more and more profound with the increase of days. Now this Liu Ping has found his own way to death and rushed to Taiyuan, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't save him! How not to make people happy!
"Master Zhang's analysis is reasonable!" Zhao Gou smiled, "Come on!" You and I drink this cup together! ”
"King Xie Kang! The old man swears to follow His Royal Highness King Kang to the death! Zhang Bangchang said respectfully. The two saluted each other and drank together.
At this moment, a hearty voice came.
"Lao Jiu! Drinking here is so chic! ”
As soon as Zhao Gou looked up, the person who came was his third brother Yun Wang Zhao Kai. I saw Zhao Kai followed by a few sturdy chamberlains, and Zhao Kai himself had a jade wrench on his finger and a book in his right hand.
"It turned out to be the third brother! The royal brother is above, and the courtier brother is polite! Zhao Gou hurriedly got up and saluted. Zhang Bangchang and a group of servants also hurriedly saluted Zhao Kai and called the three kings.
"It turns out that Zhang Shaozai is also here. Lord Zhang is a great talent of the country, and he also has a good reputation among the hundred officials, it seems that the ninth brother and Lord Zhang can really talk! Zhao Kai smiled, but there was a little more playfulness in his eyes.
"Where, where! King Yun is really ashamed of the old man, the old man is just an idle doctor, and he has to be valued by King Mengkang to accompany him, where is the King of Yun so praised. King Yun, you are hand-picked by Meng Dien, and you are the imperial city division, and you are the embankment of my Great Song Dynasty! Zhang Bangchang smiled respectfully.
"Master Zhang, you are really good at talking!" Zhao Kai said with a smile.
"I don't know why the third brother is so leisurely today, come here for a drink?" Zhao Gou said on the side.
"Haha! Lao Jiu, how can I be as leisurely as you, my Imperial City Division is full of mundane things inside and out, one is not handled well, I am afraid that the saint will be furious today, you also know, our saint brother is bent on being a Mingjun saint, but he can't rub a little sand in his eyes, where do I dare to be lazy. In addition, my father also mentioned his face every day, telling me not to waste my writing while doing things, I am really guilty, no, I borrowed Wang Youjun's book from my father a while ago, I was going to copy it, but I didn't have time, so I had to send it back to my father. Coincidentally, I saw you here downstairs and came up. Zhao Kai said with a smile.
"The third brother, come here, just have a few drinks together! You and my brother haven't been together for a long time. Zhao Gou said with a smile. An attendant had already brought wine utensils. Zhao Kai said with a smile: "No need, ninth brother, the coming day is long, he will come to his brother's mansion in the future, and his brother will have enough wine!" I'm going to go to Taishang today, so I'm leaving! ”
As he spoke, he was about to leave, but at this moment, he saw that on the main street, another group of military knights rode their horses, and there was a bustling voice, and they shouted: "Urgent report!" Urgent! Taiyuan Urgent!! Great victory!! Great victory!!! ”
"This group of vulgar soldiers is so hateful that they don't know the etiquette. It's really insulting! Zhang Bangchang said angrily, this guy is very disgusted with the army now. opened his mouth to say these words, and suddenly, Zhang Bangchang relieved himself and exclaimed
"Taiyuan? Taiyuan urgent? Great victory? Big...... Great victory? "Zhang Bangchang's mind is a little foggy, all the people of the Western Army have stopped rushing to help Taiyuan, Taiyuan may have long been reduced to the iron hooves of the golden people, where is the great victory?" Suddenly, Liu Ping's appearance suddenly flashed in his eyes, could it be, is it that beggar? I dare not imagine, I can't imagine. Did that crazy guy succeed? ~~・・・・・, even if I don't want to do it in my heart, I have to admit that Liu Ping's guy's men and horses are indeed strong, and they can achieve a great victory, which can't help but make people think of him for the first time! That demonic man!
Zhang Bangchang glanced at Zhao Gou suddenly, he had contact with Liu Ping, and naturally knew that the second stunned man who didn't want to die in the war and the Yongding Army under him. At this moment, Zhao Gou was also a little excited, could it be that this Liu Ping had completed the problem of the world's military horses being entangled for half a year with only one army???
Everyone who didn't know the situation on the front line looked sideways, and they were all shocked, didn't they all cede the three towns of Taiyuan, why did they have any great victories? Could it be that the old breed of the Western Army exerted his might and defeated the Jin people?!!
Above the restaurant, the two groups of people listened to the shouts of the soldiers downstairs, and they all had their own thoughts in their hearts, and they fell silent for a while.
