Chapter 470: Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (1)
Gao Yang really ran away early the next morning, or did he run away from home?
After a secret discussion with Zhao Chengze at the Peninsula Hotel, he went to the port warehouse to receive a batch of supplies. Gao Yang hurried to the secret base, and after a short rest, he ended this short vacation, and started time and space travel to the target time and space again.
In long-term high-intensity battles, in the face of endless killing and bloody scenes, normal people's psychological endurance will be suppressed to a limit. Goyang is no exception.
Every day is accompanied by blood and corpses, and every day is faced with endless pressure. Except for the real perverts, no one in normal people can stand it.
Gao Yang returned to modern time and space between intervals in order to regulate his mood and relieve the huge pressure in his heart.
When I returned to the target plane, it was just in time for dinner.
Gao Yang, who was in a good mood, walked out of the retreat room and walked towards the outside of the mansion, ready to see his army. Before he could walk out of the mansion, Fang Mingjing, who got the news, hurried over.
"General!" Fang Mingjing immediately showed a full smile on his face when he saw Gao Yang, trotted forward to meet him, and said with a smile after saluting, "Congratulations to the general!" ”
"Oh?" Gao Yang was slightly stunned, and then a faint smile appeared on his face, and he asked with a chuckle, "Is there anything good?" ”
"The general." Fang Mingjing had a smile on his face, and said with joy: "In the past few days of your retreat, the prestige of our victorious army has spread everywhere. It is not an exaggeration to say that it became famous in the first battle! ”
Fang Mingjing is really happy. He defected to the Changsheng Army completely to survive, and he had already despaired of the future. After all, using a group of thousands of rogues to make enemies of the huge and invincible Jin Kingdom cannot be regarded as a good way out.
It's just that who can see things in this world clearly? The victorious army that originally made Fang Mingjing's belly slandered actually became more and more courageous, not only traveled more than 1,000 miles west to this Hedong Road, but also defeated one after another Jin Guoqiang's army!
And that's not even the one that shocked him the most. Some time ago, he was greatly admired by the Jurchens, and arrogantly called himself "a wonderful soldier." Comparable to Sun and Wu. "The generalissimo Wanyan Zonghan was actually defeated by Gao Yang!
The tens of thousands of elite divisions of the Jin Guozuo Army were all scattered, and the wolves ran like lost dogs! This incident brought an earth-shaking shock to Fang Mingjing!
When he saw those big cars filled with layers of Jurchen elite heads, he immediately gave up his heart and soul to serve Gao Yang!
Fang Mingjing is the only one in the entire Changsheng army who can be regarded as a high-level scholar. In this chaotic world, who knows what the future looks like? Once there is such a thing as ambition, it will never burn like a weed in the wasteland!
Since you have devoted yourself wholeheartedly, of course, you have to show your own value. Before Gao Yang's retreat, Fang Mingjing said to Gao Yang that although the Chang Sheng Army was strong, the number was too small. If so, is it possible to recruit new troops to expand them?
Gao Yang immediately agreed to his proposal and entrusted him with full authority to handle the matter. And Fang Mingjing, who is eager to express himself, is definitely doing it wholeheartedly. And the results are extremely good. At this moment, I am here to report the good news and invite merit.
Gao Yang gave a friendly smile to all his subordinates under Fang Mingjing's flattery, and asked again, "If there is any good news, just tell me." ”
Fang Mingjing, as a smart person, immediately heard the trace of dissatisfaction in Gao Yang's words, hurriedly packed up his mood, and replied, "General, after the news of our Chang Sheng's army breaking the golden dog came out, I sent people around to collect those stragglers who were scattered when the Song State rescued Taiyuan before. ”
Gao Yang nodded, turned around and sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard. Holding his hands on his shoulders, he asked softly, "How many are there?" ”
"Back to the Lord. There are a lot of Western troops who came out with the small race. Except for those who died in battle, those who were captured, and those who fled back to Zhulu in Shaanxi. There are still many people who are trapped in this Taihang Mountain. Fang Mingjing took a light breath, his eyes were full of light, and then said, "These are not the biggest good news. There are a group of Jinning Army from Jialu Village, and a Volcano Army from Lanzhou to contact. I hope to be able to work under the command of the general! ”
"Huh?" Gao Yang was not as happy as Fang Mingjing expected, but stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, and asked in confusion, "Aren't they all guarding against the army of Western Xia?" How did you come here? And also. The Jinning Army and the Volcano Army are all there, why do you want to come to serve me? ”
"The general." Fang Mingjing explained unhurriedly: "They all received a strict order from the Song court to go east to rescue Taiyuan, but they were defeated by the golden dog. After the death of the little race Xianggong in battle, the remnants of them did not dare to continue to fight the golden dog, nor did they dare to return to their original station in the face of military law. can only live in the mountains and wilderness, becoming a group of rogues. ”
"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded, and he understood as soon as he said this.
As the main general of the Song Dynasty army to rescue Taiyuan City, after the small Xianggong was killed in the battle of Xiongling, most of the troops under his command were killed or taken prisoner. However, there are still many scattered military horses flowing in the vast Taihang Mountain.
Both the Jinning Army and the Volcano Army sent a part of the military horses under the command of the Seed Master to rescue Taiyuan City. However, after being defeated by the Jin army, they flinched, and now that the main generals were all dead, there was no way for them to retreat.
Military law is ruthless in any era, and it is what sergeants fear the most.
They will not be able to return to their original station, because their affiliation has been transferred to the Seed Master. Ordinary sergeants are absolutely unable to resist such a thing as the lost general, and no one wants to die.
With no other choice, the first reaction of these defeated generals who had been starved in the mountains was not to believe it after learning that an army had defeated Yan Zonghan. After sending a sentry to listen in detail and being recruited, he immediately threw himself into Gao Yang's arms without hesitation.
In troubled times, strong strength is the real desire of the people! What is strength? The army is strong, and there must be food!
"You're doing a good job." Gao Yang looked at Fang Mingjing, who was standing on the side, smiled, and said with satisfaction, "Recruit defeated soldiers and expand military horses." That's the most important thing right now, do it well. ”
"Thank you, Lord!" Fang Mingjing was overjoyed in his heart, and he was very excited to be appreciated by Gao Yang.
After a pause, he continued, "General, in addition to the Jinning Army and the Volcano Army, as well as those stragglers. There was also a pacification army that was scattered under the city of Taiyuan and also came to serve our victorious army. ”
Fang Mingjing continued to talk about the pacification army: "This army and horse, like the Jinning army and the Volcano army, were scattered when they rescued Taiyuan City. However, their losses are not large, and the establishment is quite complete. It's just that I didn't dare to return to the military city of Pingding, but the military rations were about to run out, so I could only come to our victorious army. But they just want to borrow food! What do these people think, we are always victorious."
Fang Mingjing's words were interrupted before he could finish speaking. Fang Mingjing was speechless because he was frightened by Gao Yang.
Gao Yang felt a little strange when he heard about the Pingding Army, as if he had forgotten something important and couldn't remember it. However, there was a point of origin, and soon he knew what he had forgotten.
Gao Yang, who was excited, suddenly got up and grabbed Fang Mingjing, who was still chattering. Ignoring Fang Mingjing, who was about to crack his shoulders that were pinched by him, he roared urgently, "What about people!?" What about the people of the pacifying army?! ”
Fang Mingjing is just a civilian official, where can he resist Gao Yang's strength? The painful face immediately turned pale, and he couldn't speak.
Gao Yang, who was excited, looked at Fang Mingjing, who was trembling with his lips, and finally calmed down. Hurriedly let go, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Where is the Pingding Army?" ”
Fang Mingjing didn't care about the pain, and he didn't have time to think about why Gao Yang was so excited. hurriedly replied: "The people of the Pingding Army are all in the camp outside the city, watching the Jinning Army and them eating. ”
"Huh?" Gao Yang was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean by watching and eating?" ”
"The general." Fang Mingjing hurriedly explained, "Those pacifying troops are just here to borrow food, not to serve our Changsheng army. How can you give them food? Now they are all asked to watch the Jinning army and the volcano army who have served us eat. When they can't stand it, they will always work hard. ”
"Hahaha!" Gao Yang laughed out loud and said, "This plan is good! You're pretty smart, aren't you? ”
Gao Yang put his hands together and rubbed them vigorously, with excitement on his face. He was so happy that he really didn't expect an unexpected gain.
"Let's go, take me to see it!" Gao Yang waved his hand and immediately walked towards the outside of the mansion.
Fang Mingjing followed briskly, he didn't understand why Gao Yang suddenly became so excited. Could it be that there is something special about that pacifying army?
Yingzhou outside the camp. A large number of stragglers who had recently joined the victorious army, as well as some formed troops, such as the sergeants of the Jinning Army and the Volcano Army, were enjoying a rare and sumptuous meal.
From the Northern Song Dynasty onwards, the status of the military declined sharply. Those literati and doctors were afraid of the recurrence of the warlord era ruled by the warriors during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, so they did their best to suppress the soldiers.
Not only do soldiers have no social status, but they also have to get tattoos on their faces! This is a great insult! In addition, the commanders of the army deducted military salaries, and the combat effectiveness of the originally powerful army dropped sharply.
As a result, when the country needs protection, there are no soldiers to fight!
Why did the 100,000 forbidden army collapse when they were frightened by a dozen Jurchen cavalry on the edge of the Yellow River? It's not that the soldiers are not ready to fight! No one is a fool, everyone knows how 100,000 people can't beat a dozen cavalrymen?
It's just that these soldiers who have been oppressed for more than 100 years are completely unwilling to work for those scholars and doctors in the court, as well as those generals who oppress them all day long and treat them like pigs and dogs!
The capture of Bianliang City and the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty were all due to this reason. Those soldiers who have been oppressed for more than a hundred years are unwilling to fight for their enemies, even if they bring this empire with them! Step into the abyss of extinction together!
