Chapter 686: In the City

The people carefully helped Zhou Tai up, and more people greeted the same exhausted Shence soldiers, who also dismounted and collapsed at the city gate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the defenders and civilians all took the most careful actions to help them up. They were sent to the best places in the city to rest.

Guan Sheng looked at these armor soldiers who couldn't walk anymore, looked at the war horse that fell at the city gate, a war horse with soft hooves, and stood on the ground, still trying his best to raise his head, trying to watch his master say goodbye.

It's exactly what the general said. How many people in the Song Dynasty are not as good as these war horses!

Taiyuan Mansion City, Hedong Road pacification envoy and sentence Taiyuan Mansion Wang Huang Office is located.

Inside and outside the government office, people enter and exit from time to time. There are not only messengers who go around to give orders, but also messengers who come and go in a hurry to report the latest military information, and officials who ask for instructions on various matters. Everyone was in a hurry, and everyone couldn't hide their uneasy looks.

At least one fully commanded soldier was densely packed inside and outside the government office, and everyone was wearing armor and looking at the people entering and leaving with unkind faces. Sometimes, when the horses rode straight in, these armorers looked tense, and their hands pressed on the hilt of their swords, as if they were already nervous to a certain extent.

Under the porch of the gatehouse outside the government office, there were people sitting and standing who came to Wang Huang to inquire about the news, and most of them were people with heads and faces in Taiyuan Mansion. At this moment, there is no such thing as the rich and honorable style of the past, Wang Hao has a lot of things, these people are not enough to see the status of being there at will, so they can only wait here, and when they sit for a long time, they rub their hands and walk around, talking to each other, all with a sad face.

But whenever there is a flag in the inner hall hurriedly comes out, these characters will rush up, gossiping and asking, there is one meaning in and out of the words, what is the meaning of appeasement? Is this Taiyuan City still stunned?

In the city of Taiyuan, since the war situation in Hedong took a sharp turn for the worse, there has been such a panicked atmosphere.

The distribution of troops on Hedong Road is three, Han Shizhong is in the center, the Zhejia army guards the west of the river, and Lu Junyi guards the bottle-shaped line of Yanmen, taking into account the direction of the north of the Yandi River, and at the same time, it is also necessary to watch the Taihang paths.

The forbidden army stationed in Hedong has been reorganized, and the most important army that can fight is concentrated in the border area. There are two large battalions left in the rear, the Daizhou battalion still has some soldiers, and the Taiyuan battalion only has two or three thousand soldiers who have descended and waited, or they are old and weak and unbearable to fight, or they are slippery and cowardly. In short, they are all out of battle. The main task is to protect the supervisors in the city, maintain the safety of the city, and at the same time consume a lot of manpower to escort and transfer materials and food.

The Jurchen Tartars suddenly entered through the breach of the Lan army, and went deep to the south, Han Shizhong's troops were in front, and the flanks were exposed, even if they wanted to withdraw, they could only cover alternately, and withdraw step by step. Otherwise, once the flaws are revealed, under the flank attack of the Jurchen Tartars, even if the Shence army is not completely annihilated, it will be defeated and lost!

And along Lu Junyi's way, the flames of battle in Yandi ignited almost at the same time, and the defense line that was originally guarded was quite long, but now even if the Long Wei Army wants to withdraw and gather troops to abandon the defense line and return to Taiyuan, I am afraid that the action will not be much faster than Han Shizhong's!

The latest news is that the Jurchen Tartars have entered the territory of Lanzhou, and the Shence Army Department does not know if it can return to Taiyuan in time, if the Jurchen Tartars come out from the direction of Loufu County, where can Taiyuan still be able to parry?

Taiyuan City was originally an extremely majestic and strong city in the world, five dynasties, according to the Taiyuan River, overlooking the Central Plains, enough to compete for the world. The Great Song Dynasty opened the country, and the Later Han Dynasty launched a series of cruel wars around Taiyuan City, in front of this Xiongcheng do not know how many Liang elite soldiers filled in the life, after Zhao Kuangyi finally laid down Taiyuan, the original Taiyuan City was destroyed.

Now Taiyuan City, not only changed the location, the scope is also much smaller, but the most suitable place for the population of Hedong Road is the Fenhe Plain, at this moment, there are hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside Taiyuan City, the new Taiyuan City is not big to accommodate, and the outside of the city is scattered everywhere is the residence of Fang City. Some of these buildings are higher than the city wall, and they are close to the city wall, which weakens the defensive function of the city wall by an unknown amount.

There are few soldiers and the walls are not complete, and there are too many people living inside and outside the city, how can people defend it?

In the time and space without Yang Ling, Wang Yu guarded Taiyuan, one is that the preparation time is a little longer, and the other is that the strength of Wang Yu's troops, whether it is the degree of combat or the number, is much stronger than what Wang Yu can grasp at this moment, and Wang Yu also used decisive means to burn the residential buildings outside the city wall, so as to hold on to Taiyuan City, but the hundreds of thousands of people outside Taiyuan City who did not flee were also empty in the war!

Under such circumstances, there has been a frenzy of fleeing in Taiyuan Fucheng, the gentry and rich people drive cars and horses, and the poor population relies on their legs to help the old and the young to pull the family and crowd the way, and the crowd is surging southward!

And at this moment, the people who are guarding the Wang Huang Office are people who have official bodies and sent people, or those who are close to Taiyuan Prefecture and County, or the officials of the prison departments, who have abandoned their posts and absconded to bear the responsibility, so they must appease the envoy to make this decision, and when the time comes, everyone will disperse in a hurry, and they will be able to explain it.

When they were hustle and bustling, they heard footsteps from the direction of the festival, but what came out was a figure who looked like a military general, it was the newly appointed Shengjie Jun Wang Yu.

This character has always been kind to others, although he has no ability, but his popularity is very good, when Yang Ling made trouble on Hedong Road, Wang Yu was also very knowledgeable, not only did not make enemies with him, but also cooperated quite well, and also made a lot of effort when rectifying the Hedong Road garrison forbidden army.

Wang Yu is so knowledgeable, Han Shizhong naturally won't let him be too unable to come to the stage, and when he arrives here, the Shengjie army has finally been expanded, with 6,000 elite soldiers, and thousands of forbidden troops stationed in the forbidden army are all under his dispatch orders, and it is also prudent to cooperate with the transfer of front-line military resources and salaries.

Wang Hao and he are both forced to belong to the Jin Dynasty's family, and under the same illness, although they have different paths, they have a little affection, and Wang Yu can be regarded as able to speak in front of Wang Hao. When the news of the breach came from the Lan army, Wang Hao asked Wang Yu to be on duty in the pacification envoy office day and night, and the two were often discussing something closely.

At this moment, seeing Wang Yu suddenly come out, a group of people suddenly rushed up, bowed around Wang Yu, and began to ask questions.

"Lord Wang, what kind of charter is appeasement? Please make it clear! Several Lu Si have been sitting in the festival hall all day, and I am so poor that I am waiting for my subordinates to work hard here! ”

"General Wang, where are General Han's soldiers and horses now? The Jurchen Tartars have all entered Lanzhou, so the soldiers and horses in those two places should also turn around and come back? ”

"The king, where is the king of Jin's military horses going north? The military intelligence is all from your hands, and now it is related to the lives of the officials in the city, don't you want to spit at all? ”

"Lord, but please loosen your mouth! In the future, if it is useful to get the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely do their best! ”

Although the status of the military ministers has risen since the rise of the King of Jin, especially in Hedong Road, the status of the military ministers is enough to compete with the Wenchens, but after hundreds of years of strong inertia, the Wenchen still have a natural precipice in front of the old military ministers, but now no one can care about it.

A group of blue-robed officials surrounded Wang Yu, you pushed me, and they all opened their mouths to press each other, more than a dozen hands stretched out in front of Wang Yu, pulling him crookedly, these officials also squeezed their heads crookedly, and the official boots were loose, where is there still a reserved and arrogant posture of Wenchen in front of Wuchen?

Wang Yu hurriedly greeted desperately: "Everyone, everyone! Let's stay first! Let's stay first! I just went out and sent more people, went to the Han general, the king of Jin and the direction of Lanzhou, and sent more people to find out the news, and let the last general go first! ”

A young man in a green robe crossed his arms and said, "What are you still hiding from my generation now?" You must know that our generation is also an official, and we share weal and woe all the way to the east of the river! Even if it is appeased, there is no reason to cover the sky with one hand, since this is the case, my generation broke into the festival hall. Find a plauscation and ask for an explanation! ”

This sentence can be regarded as shouting out the hearts of these officials who are waiting for the fire, and a group of people immediately responded loudly, waving their fists and arms like migrant workers who are asking for wages to break into the festival. Although trespassing in the festival hall is a felony of mismatching, these officials who are out of the way do not believe that Wang Hao can punish many officials of the Great Song Dynasty in one go!

Seeing that the situation was about to get worse, Wang Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "Everyone, let's stay for a while!" ”

The blue-robed junior official who shouted first poked his finger on Wang Yu's nose: "Then you tell me the truth!" ”

Wang Yu looked left and right, he has always been a good person everywhere, and today he was forced to come here, and finally he couldn't keep his mouth. Motioned for everyone to come closer and keep their voices down.

"General Han handed over the main military information, saying that he was gathering troops and horses in Yifang County, and wanted to receive the withdrawal of the army from the north, and after General Lu learned of the military situation, he was transferring troops and horses, saying that he would be able to come to aid Taiyuan Mansion in five days at most, and as for the King of Jin, he was ............"

Wang Yu sighed: "The Jin Wang's department is blocked by a big river, and the last time the military situation came, he was still preparing to cross the river, but it was only four days, and now, it is great to be able to cross the Yellow River with the whole army...... You must know that the King of Jin is in charge of the royal car! There are saints in the army, and this action is still fast? ”

He explained what should have been a secret military situation in one breath, Tuan Tuan made a circle, and said with a smile: "Officials, what should be said and what should not be said, I have poured out, all the officials please go back to the Ya, if the people are confused, this Taiyuan City will really not be able to defend it!" Lanzhou Road Taiyuan, there are Yifang Lou annoying two roads, Yifang is already under our control, where the Han general is must be unhindered, even if the building is troublesome, we also have a way, not to be surrounded by the Jurchens, and there are thousands of defenders in Lanzhou, how can they drag the back legs of the Jurchens, when General Lu's reinforcements are about to arrive, and then I am afraid that Taiyuan Mansion will not be able to hold it? Let the last general go on business first, thank you very much! ”

When the officials heard that Lu Junyi's reinforcements would arrive in a few days, they were a little quieter, and at this time, it would be good to have reinforcements coming.

But even if Lu Junyi's reinforcements come, will this Taiyuan Mansion be able to keep it? The Yandi Jurchen army is also swarming in, and it has to help the Flying Fox Pass, and it also has to defend the Taihang Paths to prevent the Jurchen East Route Army from flanking after going south. There are more places to be defended, and even if reinforcements are drawn in a hurry, how many can there be? Can you get ahead of the raging tide of the Jurchen army?

Now I hope that the military horses stationed in Lanzhou can fulfill their duties, unlike the Broken Family Army that killed a thousand knives, and dragged the Jurchen Tartars for a few more days!

Thinking deeper, it is full of despair, the war situation in Hedong has been eroded, Yandi Hebei is not much better, the western army is still far away in Shaanxi Zhulu, there is no owner in Bianliang City, and the situation is extremely dangerous.

The King of Jin has reached his current status, the whole dynasty is full of enemies, and the court is divided, if the main force of the King of Jin is wiped out in Hedong, maybe the first time in the court is to attack the King of Jin, although this King of Jin is not pleasing to anyone, it is good that he has a strong army and has been fighting with the Tartars, once he loses, who will stand up as the mainstay?

The day is going to fall, who can make up for it?

Is it possible that everyone is going to die in this Taiyuan Mansion and the city?

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of noise outside, and then I saw several armorers helping one person in.

This man was in his early thirties, and he used to be very well maintained, but now he was wearing a common man's clothes, and he was covered with mud and dirt. There is a waist bag tied around his waist, and the shape of the bulge should be the official seal.

This man didn't know how much hard work he had endured all the way, he couldn't walk on his legs, and as soon as he entered the government office, tears flowed straight down his eyes, and he almost collapsed to the ground, thanks to the armor soldier next to him who held him up.

Someone finally recognized the man. Isn't it the county order that knows the annoyance? Jinshi was born in poetry and wine, and in his early thirties, he was about to complete the seniority of the two magistrates, and if it weren't for the chaos in the DPRK and China some time ago, he would have returned to Beijing and entered Wutai a long time ago. In the past, when I came to Taiyuan Fucheng for business, I could drown for more than ten days casually, and the style of the banquet was amazing, and the small words were gratifying. It is the object that everyone looks up to, and the slightly stammering character also praises him for having two sentences of prime minister's talent, and this character is also undoubted.

But now, this future prime minister's temperament, a well-known lyricist, I don't know where to throw it at this time. The snot and tears on his face flowed straight down, mixed with the dust and dust on his face, and rushed out of the underworld, so embarrassed that he couldn't speak.

He whimpered twice and finally burst into tears.

"The Tartar is already stuck in the building! The lower officials fought desperately to find a way out of life and came to appease and ask for help! ”

It turned out that everyone who was disturbing was suddenly silent at this moment, and everyone seemed to have thunder in their hearts.

The Tartar is already stuck in the building? Lou Fu is only two hundred miles away from Taiyuan Mansion! In two days at most, the Tartar army will go straight to Taiyuan Fucheng, and this Hedong is over!

By extension, this Great Song is about to end!

The cry of the county order was earth-shattering, and finally I didn't know who it was, and suddenly shouted: "Why are you still waiting for death here?" Run! ”

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty, who were gathered in a group of hedgehogs in the courtyard, suddenly exploded, and ran out with their robes, this situation is irretrievable, at this time, take care of yourself! (To be continued.) )
