Chapter 488: Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival (19)
"There are many things that do not shift by human will. There are some things that have to be done. Yuan nodded softly comforting.
"I'm fine." The corners of Gao Yang's mouth curved, with a smile on his face, and he said with a chuckle, "I'm not in a bad mood, I'm sad in the spring and autumn. It's just a little emotional. How long am I going to do something like this? What exactly do I want? It's just that I'm a little irritable. ”
"What do you want to do? Or rather, what kind of outcome do you want to get in the end? Dominate the world? Dominating the Universe? Or is it a quiet life? Well, the last one is a little difficult. Origin asked curiously.
Gao Yang raised his eyebrows, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. After a slight pause, he said, "Actually, I don't know. At first, it was just to change my life, but then things started to increase before I knew it, and it was the things that came to me on their own initiative. After coping with it again and again, I don't know what I want to do anymore. ”
After a pause, he smiled helplessly, and said with a little self-deprecation, "I have always said to myself that I want a peaceful life and want to continue to live like an ordinary person." In fact, it's all about deceiving yourself. ”
"You understand?" Origin said in a tone that you finally figured out.
"I have long understood, in fact, I knew it when I met you. I just don't want to admit it. He pulled out his cigarette again and lit it. There was a flash of enlightenment in his eyes, and there was also a decision. "It's like where there is light there must be shadow, and where there is light there is darkness. I also gained it when I lost it. Even more to gain than to lose. It's time for me to be content. ”
The origin was silent for a long time, and it was not until Gao Yang threw away the cigarette that he whispered, "I hope you really understand." ”
The white belly of the fish in the distance has just begun to show, and the camp outside Yingzhou City is full of hustle and bustle. A large number of early cooks and auxiliaries brought up the hot breakfast.
The food of the Chang Shengjun is definitely unique in this era!
Gao Yang has always firmly believed that logistics supply is the first element to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.
If a soldier doesn't have enough to eat, let alone strength, he doesn't even have the heart to fight, how can he fight a good battle? As the saying goes, you can't be a dead ghost even if you're dead, who will die for you?!
Gaoyang is not short of money. There is no shortage of supplies. In modern time and space, the large-scale food produced by the integrated production of industry gave him enough confidence to treat his soldiers well.
Compared with the porridge and steamed buns in the camp of the homeless camp, and the basic labor battalion can eat one meal of meat a day, the food in the victorious army that has officially entered the wartime state can be called a luxury at all.
Take this breakfast as an example, every sergeant of the victorious army, whether a regular soldier or an auxiliary soldier, can use a steel military lunch box marked with their respective military numbers to fill a box of mutton soup. You can eat the big white steamed buns heated outside, and you can take it at will after drinking the mutton soup, as long as you can finish eating.
Even the military rations for noon were prepared. Excellent pork shop with flatbread and chocolate. The army-green steel kettle was full of them. Gao Yang does not plan to rest at noon.
Gao Yang had read in a book I don't remember which one it was that the people of the Song Dynasty did not eat pork, but only beef and mutton. It wasn't until he came here in person that he realized that it wasn't that he didn't want to eat. It's that I can't afford to eat.
The rich people of the Song Dynasty all loved to eat beef and mutton, and looked down on pork, believing that eating pork would lose their value. The poor can't afford to eat anything. A pound of pork can easily cost more than 100 yuan, if it is not for the New Year's holiday, who will be willing to eat it in ordinary times.
The prosperity of the Song Dynasty was that the country was rich, and the royal family, nobles, ministers, nobles, and wealthy people were rich. And most of the wealth is concentrated in Bianliang City. The lives of ordinary people in other places are not very good.
Among the victorious army, whether it is a veteran or a new soldier, those who come from Yandi or those who come from Hedong Road. The vast majority of them are from ordinary backgrounds. Just that there must be meat at every meal, and even the beef and mutton that can only be envied in the past is enough to make them die for Gao Yang.
The most important thing is to be able to eat and survive in troubled times.
The frozen beef and mutton that Gao Yang bought from New Zealand in modern time and space are all calculated in thousands of tons. Enough for them to eat with an open stomach. Not enough yet. Much more.
Among the entire victorious army, Yue Fei led the White Tiger Army with a total of more than 5,000 people, and the Xuanwu Army, which Gao Yang specially assigned to him with more than 600 heavy armored soldiers, as a light cavalry of more than 1,000 people. There are also more than 6,000 recruits who have just been recruited in the recruit camp who are still training and are responsible for guarding Yingzhou City. to deal with Wanyan Zonghan in the northern Yunzhou City.
Gao Yang believed in Yue Fei's ability. He's a natural commander!
Don't talk about it, Yan Zonghan's military horses have already been disabled at this moment, and the people who support the scene are the new annexes who have been collected from all around. Even when Wanyan Zonghan's strength was at its strongest, he would not take advantage of Yue Fei with enough strength.
When the morning sun swayed and the ten thousand rays of light rose, everything was ready. Gao Yang personally led the cavalry with a total number of more than 10,000 to set off without receiving an edict from the Song court. Their first target was the city of Taiyuan in the south.
At this time, Taiyuan City had just finished a bloody and cruel siege battle that lasted for more than 200 days, and was slowly recovering its vitality.
The previous brutal siege had rendered the entire city almost completely lifeless. It wasn't until after the Jin army withdrew that the relief from all over the place and the scattered displaced people gathered together to slowly get better.
Merely. Because the victorious army in the north provides food and drink, its reputation is much stronger than here. There are not many displaced people who come to Taiyuan City. Moreover, in the absence of sufficient help, many people chose to go north to Yingzhou City to beg for food.
Regarding this matter, after Tong Guan escaped, he led the Taiyuan army and civilians to resist the siege of the Jin army for more than 200 days, and finally survived the Taiyuan Xuanfu Sidu to control Wang Yu.
After the siege of Taiyuan was lifted, reinforcements from all over the world also provided some food. But in the face of so many mouths, it's a drop in the bucket. And now everyone has no extra food, and all that can be produced is rations! As for the imperial court, don't mention it.
The Chang Shengjun in Yingzhou City in the north sent someone to send a batch of grain some time ago. But all the grain was collected by Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, and no one asked for it. Zhang Xiaochun said, this is for life-saving, no one should want to get it out until the last moment!
Everyone knows that Yingzhou City can have a living meal to eat in the north. Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu had no choice, and they also turned a blind eye to the fact that the people under their rule went to Yingzhou to survive.
Originally, it was expected that after the autumn harvest, the imperial court should send relief. Who knows, the Jurchens over there in Yanjing City have gone south! The worried Wang Yu did not receive the edict, so he could only wait in Taiyuan City with great irritability.
Wang Yu, who was already upset, was soon shocked by another shocking news. The victorious army in Yingzhou City in the north went south!
The mighty army stretched endlessly, all the way south along the dilapidated official road. The many generals on the head of Taiyuan City were all frightened.
That's the strong soldier who defeated Yan Zonghan's army!
Just looking at it from a distance, these generals who have also been on the battlefield can feel the strong sense of slaughter. A rabble can be distinguished at a glance from a truly strong soldier.
Those victorious armies all wore uniform uniforms, and even on the march they could exude a strong momentum!
Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun left the city with more than a dozen cronies to meet the Changsheng army brigade in the distance. After reporting his identity, he was led to Gao Yang's side.
looked at the lord of the victorious army in front of him, who was tall, had a hard face, and his eyes were blazing, and his body inadvertently exuded an awe-inspiring momentum. Wang Yu couldn't help but praise in his heart: "What a man!" ”
Even if it was just because Gao Yang defeated Wanyan Zonghan and rescued Taiyuan City, Wang Yu should be grateful to him. It's just that now the victorious army is attacking without any edict at all, which is an extremely perverse thing no matter what.
"High General." After Wang Yu and Zhang Chunxiao glanced at each other, they didn't care about greetings, and after clasping their fists to salute, they immediately said, "Why did the Changsheng army come south here?" ”
Gao Yang's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Wanyan Zongwang's army is approaching Bianliang City, of course I will go to the rescue at this critical juncture." What else can be done? Are you worried that I will attack Taiyuan City? ”
"High General." Before Wang Yu could say anything, Zhang Xiaochun on the side was anxious. Immediately, he looked anxious and rushed to speak, "Without the edict of the imperial court, how can the local army enter Beijing?!" This is a sin of great rebellion! ”
"Hmph." Gao Yang's eyes froze, and he snorted coldly and said, "When is it?" What more edict?! Do you just want to be happy watching the Jurchens break through Bianliang City? ”
That's a big deal. Neither Wang Yu nor Zhang Xiaochun can bear this accusation. After Wang Yu groaned slightly, he said loudly, "Senior General, as a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, how could I do this?" It's just that if the Chang Shengjun does not have an edict, a certain family will not allow the Chang Shengjun to pass through Taiyuan City. ”
"Oh?" Gao Yang raised his head slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said with a playful smile on his face, "What?" You still want to fight me? How much did you charge Jurchens? So desperately blocking the reinforcements from rescuing Bianliang for them? Did they promise you some prestigious position? Or do you want to be hired as a colt? ”
"You !!" is not young, and Wang Yu, who has a lot of beard, was almost crooked by Gao Yang. With a flushed face, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Gao Yang, wanting to refute, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
How could he surrender to the gold thief? It's pure nonsense. He didn't really want to stop the Chang Shengjun by force, Wang Yu knew very well in his heart, and he couldn't beat it at all. What's more, he also knew in his heart that only the victorious army could save Bianliang City.
Zhang Xiaochun on the side was also very angry, and according to Gao Yang, he also became an accomplice in blocking King Qin's army. When such a big hat fell down, neither of them could resist it. (To be continued......)
