Chapter 44: The Second Year of Jingkang

readx;?Bianliang in the first month of the second year of Jingkang

"It is difficult to see the sea as water, except for Liangyuan is always a village. In the twelfth century, Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info ranked all the cities in the world, the first place was, of course, Bianliang, Tokyo, and the second place, the suburbs of Bianliang. On the contrary, this prosperous city with a population of more than one million has come to an end in the second year of Jingkang.

The Jin army totaled more than 200,000 troops from the east and west, and surrounded Bianliang City. As a fish, the monarchs and ministers of Song Qinzong not only failed to shoulder the responsibility of saving the country, but had illusions that the Jin people would retreat on their own. The emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was supposed to lead the army and people of the Great Song Dynasty to resist bravely, absurdly became the chairman of the "Maintenance Association" of the Jin people. Qinzong tried his best to loot the people's wealth, robbed the people's daughters, and was cheeky and sent to the gold camp; What's even more stupid is that he actually abolished his martial arts, collected all the weapons and horses that could be used to resist in Bianliang City, and sent them to Jinying. Perhaps, throughout the entire history of China, we will never find such a stupid person again!

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Jin people again asked Song Qinzong to go to the Jin camp to negotiate, although Qinzong was timid to enter the tiger's mouth again, but he was even more timid to disobey the Jin people's orders. Ignoring the people's obstruction, he went out of the city to the golden camp and began his humiliating career as a prisoner of war.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When Song Qinzong went out of the city amid the cries of the people of Bianliang, Zhao Gou was smiling and distributing rock sugar gourds to the children of the Daimyo's Mansion. A little girl with a snot ran into the barracks, took the sugar gourd, and opened her mouth to nibble on o(n_n)o, her mother hurriedly came over and dragged her, and taught, "Quick, say thank you, Generalissimo." ”

The little girl grinned and said in a milky voice, "Thank you, Generalissimo," after speaking, she tilted her head and asked curiously, "Hehe, you are all the Generalissimo, why did you steal the Emperor's oil tea noodles?" ”

It is said that Tong Yan is unscrupulous, in less than half a day, Zhao Gou has been asked this question by three children, he half-squatted down, and asked seriously, "Little friend, Ben Shuai can make oil tea noodles by himself, why do you want to steal it?" ”

The little girl grinned, "Yes, you can do it yourself, why steal it?" ”

Zhao Gou shook his head and continued to be serious, "Because, these are all rumors!" Ben Shuai has never stolen anything from the Emperor of Heaven, I voluntarily went down to earth to rescue the Great Song Limin, especially a child like you. ”

When the little girl heard Zhao Gou say this, she nodded as if she didn't understand, smiled, and gnawed on the sugar gourd while dripping on it. Her mother was scared enough at first, but seeing that Zhao Gou didn't seem to be angry, she breathed a sigh of relief, accepted a salute, picked up the child, and strode away. Oh, Zhao Gou saw that the bad habit of binding feet had not yet spread among the people at this time.

Zhao Gou is thinking about neurosis to like wrapped feet! Kang Lu came over, attached it to his ear, and said in a low voice, "King, someone in Bianliang sent a secret letter of wax pills. ”

As soon as Zhao Gou heard this, he immediately became nervous, and asked Yang Yizhong, the commander of the teaching battalion, to continue to distribute sugar gourds, and he went back to the mansion to read the secret letter. This time, the wax pill secret letter was sent by an official named Lu Haowen in Bianliang City, and Zhao Gou called Zhao Ye (he had been the prime minister) and asked who Lu Haowen was. Zhao Ye explained that Lu Haowen is the current Yushi Zhongcheng (equivalent to the current secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection), and the grandson of Sikong Lu Gongshu. Although Zhao Gou didn't know who Lu Gongshu was, he knew that Sikong was a very big official, and he also knew that Cheng was a very important position in the imperial history, so he attached great importance to this secret letter.

The content of the secret letter is probably that Lu Hao asked the detective to hear that the Jin people were deploying troops, and they might send 5,000 heavy cavalry to attack the Daimyo's Mansion in the near future, and hoped that Zhao Gou would be careful, and Lu Hao also said that if Zhao Gou's troops were really strong, they could indeed come to Bianliang to rescue them, but if they were not strong, it was best to temporarily avoid the Jin army.

Zhao Gou read this secret letter, and said in his heart that Lu Hao asked a good question, Bianliang has fallen, he can still spy on the military situation, and he can still come to send him a letter, moved, really moved. Zhao Gou hurriedly summoned the five commanders of the Volunteer Army to a meeting to discuss important military affairs.

Speaking of the five commanders, they were naturally the victors of the previous inter-battalion offensive and defensive exercises. When Zhang Jun didn't come, Yue Fei was the best, Han Yuan was second, Zhang Sanlang and Liu Bin were okay; After Zhang Jun defected to Zhao Gou, he selected 500 warriors from the 1,020 elite soldiers of Xinde Mansion to join the exercise. Zhao Gou knew how good his volunteer army was, but after all, he had never been on the battlefield, and he was still worse than a veteran who had really experienced life and death. Therefore, Zhao Gou also foresaw that Zhang Jun's team should win consecutive battles in the exercise. But I didn't think that these 500 warriors, not to mention the successive battles, were simply devastating.

In three days, from the first-ranked Yue Fei camp to the fifteenth-ranked Lu Song battalion, Zhang Junying beat the young volunteers to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen. Zhao Gou was about to have a heart attack, so he simply called them the Tiger Training Battalion, and let the Teaching Battalion and the Escort Battalion work together to escort him, on the one hand, he felt at ease when he looked at it, and on the other hand, he could help other battalions improve their combat strength by beating them violently at any time. Of course, Zhang Jun was promoted to commander, and his deputy Yang Yizhong was not only strong in martial arts, but his grandfather and father were also killed in the battle to resist Jin and defend the city. Zhao Gou sighed that Yang Yizhong was a true Yang general, loyal and brave, and ordered him to take over as the commander of the teaching battalion.

To tell the truth, the training battalion fought against other volunteers, but the officers and soldiers of this training battalion were all defeated troops who fled on the Jin battlefield, which made Zhao Gou very angry about the five thousand heavy cavalry that was about to arrive. Although Zhen Zhao Gou had no record of encountering the Jin people before becoming the emperor, Zhen Zhao Gou never captured the Jin soldiers!

"Letter from Bianliang," Zhao Gou and the other four commanders (Yue Fei, Han Yuan, Zhang Sanlang, and Liu Bin) all rushed to the Pai Pai Station and got straight to the point, "The Jin army may send five thousand heavy cavalry to attack the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

After Zhao Gou finished speaking, he glanced at the generals and saw Zhang Jun frowning; Yue Fei bowed his head and pondered; Han Yuan's eyes rolled; Zhang Sanlang and Liu Bin, these two big-hearted people, actually showed joy (⊙-⊙)b.

After being silent for a while, Yue Fei first broke the silence and said, "Dashuai, in the opinion of the last general, the number of five thousand heavy horses is inflated. ”

Zhang Jun heard Yue Fei say this, and immediately nodded, "Yes, the last general agrees with Pengju's words, the Jin people sent at most, two thousand heavy horses, more likely two thousand light horses." ”

"Oh?" When Zhao Gou heard this, his heart was a lot more relaxed, he now also has 2,000 cavalry, so he has at least an idea of the number of 2,000 cavalry, not to mention that according to Zhang Jun's statement, the five volunteers can only win by besieging one gold soldier, and the volunteers are now more than 10,000, just enough to deal with the two thousand gold army iron cavalry. However, when Zhao thought of this, he doubted in his heart, the number of two thousand could not be made up by Zhang Jun to comfort him, right? "Bo Ying, how did you get the number of two thousand?"
