Chapter 23: Coercion
readx;?“! Zhao Yuju! Your grandma's! I'm going to chop you bastard when I go back! There was an angry roar from the county office in Xin'an County, and Huang Yan kicked the table in front of him to the ground, and scolded in the direction of Lin'an City. Huang Yan, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" pavilion, received the news of the Lin'an mutiny earlier than others, and immediately became angry when he heard the news, when his younger brother Huang Xu died in battle, he had never seen him so angry, but today Huang Yan had an uncontrollable attack.
Huang Yan's anger is stronger than ordinary people, because he knows Zhao Yun much earlier than anyone else, Gao Huaiyuan didn't know Zhao Yun before, he rode Zhao Yun and beat him violently, he knows better than anyone how Zhao Yun became this emperor, but now they are fighting the world for their Zhao family, but this guy is making trouble behind, how can he not be angry!
But anger turned into rage, but Huang Yan did not lose his mind, and after losing his temper, he immediately ordered Zhang Xuan to immediately order Qin Feng's army in Qitong Pass to rush towards Xin'an, where he was, and after joining him, he immediately sent troops to Henan Mansion to fight a decisive battle with the Mongol army that was leading the army to besiege Henan Mansion...
A few days after the military order was issued, he did not wait for Zhang Xuan's department, but waited for one of Zhang Xuan's personal soldiers, who arrived in Xin'an County and told Huang Yan that Zhang Xuan had received a holy decree and ordered him not to move, stay in place, and wait for the new decree of the imperial court before he could act.
Huang Yan was even more angry this time, he didn't expect Zhao Yun's hand to stretch out so long, and he actually crossed him and gave Zhang Xuan an order directly.
As a result, Zhang Xuan's guy really listened to the words of the imperial court, and he really stood still in the Tongguan area, and he didn't even listen to the orders of his top boss.
Huang Yan wanted to lead his army to attack the direction of Junzhou, but during this time, he was dividing his troops to sweep the places west of Henan Prefecture, and the troops left in the area of Xin'an County were less than 10,000, which was not enough for him to solve the Mongolian army outside Henan Prefecture, let alone go to Xuzhou to relieve Gao Huaiyuan...
As soon as he heard that Zhang Xuan refused to be transferred to join him, Huang Yan realized the seriousness of the problem, and after scolding Zhang Xuan, he immediately took down Zhang Xuan's personal soldiers. This Zhang Xuan is not a subordinate he brought out, but a general promoted from the former Jinzhou Army, and he has quite a set of controlling troops and commanding wars, so he was Huang Yan, but at this time, he chose to stand on the side of Zhao Yun, the emperor, and wanted to watch how Huang Yan and them acted next.
After watching that Zhang Xuan's personal soldier being taken down, Huang Yan gritted his teeth and scolded: "It's not his own person, or it's not easy to use, give Lao Tzu such a hand at a critical time, then you Zhang Xuan chose the wrong direction this time!" Come on, spread Shen Qun to see me! ”
Not long after, an unsightly soldier was brought to Huang Yan, Huang Yan retreated left and right, and whispered a few words to this Shen Qun.
This Shen Qun's eyes flashed, and he immediately nodded and said, "General Huang, don't worry, this matter will be handed over to the humble position!" The humble pledge to present his head to the general within five days! ”
Huang Yan nodded solemnly and said, "After solving him, Ling Jiang Yong will immediately replace him and quickly raise troops to join me!" The sooner the better! ”
Shen Qun nodded: "Please rest assured, the little ones will never sit idly by!" Leave this matter to the little one! ”
After saying that, Shen Qun turned around and strode out of the county office, turned over and jumped on a good horse prepared for him, and with a wave of the whip, he headed towards the west gate of the city. . .
For Zhao Yun's seizure of power this time, it is impossible to say that his holy decree did not create a little trouble in front of the army, at least for the morale of the troops in front, it has caused a certain degree of impact, after all, this era has been preaching loyalty and patriotism, loyalty is first put in the front, but patriotism is placed in a secondary position, even if Gao Huaiyuan has changed blood in the army over the years, and many of his descendants have been replaced in the officer system, but how many reliable subordinates can a Crouching Tiger Village train for him?
What's more, the people who have been trained are not only to be used in the army, but also to use his reliable subordinates in many places, so there are still many people in the army who have the idea of loyalty to the monarch in their hearts, and between Gao Huaiyuan and Zhao Yun, they should think that Zhao Yun is the main master. Zhang Xuan is just an obvious example, as for the other armies, after receiving Zhao Yun's holy decree, it still caused an uproar**.
Fortunately, Hua Yue, Huang Yan, Zhou Jun and others are still Gao Huaiyuan's die-hard supporters, although they received the holy order, they all chose to resist the decree and continue to act according to Gao Huaiyuan's orders.
After Luo Zhuo received Gao Huaiyuan's order some time ago, he immediately set off from Zhenjiang Mansion and hurried in the direction of Guide Mansion, and arrived at Guide Mansion at the end of September and joined Zhou Jun's Xuzhou army, which immediately made Zhou Jun's army prosperous.
After they joined forces, they did not immediately march towards Xuzhou, but first divided their troops to sweep the area south of Guidefu, and pulled out the state capitals and county towns that had not yet surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty one by one.
Needless to say, it was naturally a big defeat for Wanyan Chongxi, and the turtle retreated back to the suburbs of Bianliang, and no longer dared to attack in the direction of Guide Mansion.
At this time, the holy decree of the imperial court was directly sent to the Guide Mansion army and handed over to Zhou Jun and Luo Zhuo, who were in charge of the army here.
This news surprised them, Zhou Jun was not good at attacking in front of Luo Zhuo, and his face was so blue that he took the eunuch down to rest, and then gave his own soldiers a look, and the soldiers quietly withdrew from the big tent...
Luo Zhuo's face was also pale, and he bowed his head and was silent holding this holy decree, obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
Zhou Jun slowly walked up to Luo Zhuo and said to Luo Zhuo: "General Luo! For this matter, I don't know what General Luo is going to do? Do you obey the will of the Divine or do you obey the command of the Great Commander? ”
Luo Zhuo was very conflicted at this time, and said angrily: "Why does the Holy Lord want me to act like this at this time? Can't he see that our army is about to finish? Damn, there must be a villain around the saint! ”
Zhou Jun frowned, Luo Zhuo's words did not answer his question, so he continued to ask: "General Luo, the Holy Lord acted like this, it really chilled our hearts, Gao Dashuai has been thinking hard for so many years in order to strengthen the army and strengthen the country, but now the Holy Lord wants me to sit back and watch the Dashuai being besieged in Xuzhou, where should we go?" ”
"What to do? I am a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, what should I do? On the one hand, there is a handsome man who is kind to me, and on the other hand, he is the emperor, General Zhou told me, what should I do? Luo Zhuo walked back and forth in the big tent irritably, and asked Zhou Jun angrily. Zhou Jun looked at the anxious Luo Zhuo, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou is not talented, I think that we should focus on the overall situation in this matter, and the great cause of the Northern Expedition is about to be completed, how can we just stop because of this edict?" What's more, the handsome man is kind to us, how can we just sit idly by? Let the marshal be besieged in Xuzhou? Zhou will not listen to the emperor's decree, I will definitely lead the army to Xuzhou! ”
Luo Zhuo raised his head violently and stared at Zhou Jun, hesitated for a moment, and then asked Zhou Jun, "Then are you going to resist the decree?" ”
"There will be no disapproval of the king's life outside! Zhou can't do what he wants! What's more, this holy decree is to put the handsome to death, and Zhou will not act according to the order! Zhou Jun replied coldly to Luo Zhuo.
A cold sweat suddenly broke out on Luo Zhuo's head, he has come to the present step by step in the Song army, he is one of the few generals in the army who has not been replaced by Gao Huaiyuan, he knows Gao Huaiyuan's influence in the army, but after all, he is a person who has been instilled by the idea of loyalty to the monarch since he was a child, and there is naturally a thought of loyalty to the emperor in his heart, which is also the reason why he is contradictory...
On the one hand, the emperor's handwritten holy decree asked them to stay on the spot and not act without authorization, and on the other hand, Gao Huaiyuan asked them to act according to the plan, regardless of the holy decree, if he obeyed the decree, it would be unjust to Gao Huaiyuan, but if he did not respect the decree, it would be a rebellious move, and what to do made him very entangled at this time, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Zhou Jun stared at Luo Zhuo coldly, waiting for Luo Zhuo to make up his mind, and slowly moved one hand to his waist and pressed it on the handle of the waist knife under his ribs.
Luo Zhuo's head was in a mess, and suddenly he heard a rush of footsteps outside the tent, it seemed that many people surrounded the big tent, his heart tightened, and he looked up at Zhou Jun, but saw Zhou Jun pressing one hand on the hilt of the knife, staring at him coldly...
So Luo Zhuo suddenly sobered up a lot, and immediately said angrily to Zhou Jun: "What does General Zhou want to do? ”
Zhou Jun looked at Luo Zhuo coldly and replied, "Zhou didn't want to do anything, just waiting for General Luo's reply!" Has General Luo already made a decision? ”
Luo Zhuo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, although he couldn't see the situation outside the tent, but he could also think that the outside of the tent must be full of Zhou Jun's cronies now, he remembered the rumors over the years, saying that Zhou Jun and Fu Daquan's Flying Tiger Army was actually a secret chess set by Gao Huaiyuan in his early years, and just now Zhou Jun had already made it clear that no matter how he decided, Zhou Jun would be disrespectful anyway, so if he said that he would act according to the order, he believed that it would be difficult for him to leave this big tent alive.
After thinking about it carefully, Luo Zhuo himself felt that Zhao Yun chose to draw his salary at the bottom of the kettle at this time, whether it was for Gao Huaiyuan, or for them like the Song army, or even for the entire Great Song Dynasty, it was a bad thing, he could be said to be mad at all, and he was simply joking with the lives of these soldiers...
Luo Zhuo also understood Gao Huaiyuan's intentions these days, and also saw the trend of the Central Plains battle situation clearly, the reason why Gao Huaiyuan took the risk to trap Xuzhou City, in fact, was to buy time for the other armies, to completely give the Mongolian army a heavy blow in the Central Plains, as long as the Mongolian army in Wokotai was defeated here, then the overall situation of the Central Plains would be determined, not only in the Central Plains, I am afraid that the entire Hebei is likely to be recovered by the Song army in one fell swoop.
Gao Huaiyuan made such a big plan this time and took such a big risk, isn't it all for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty? He did this to the country and the people, and once he listened to the emperor's decree Zhao Yun, then there would only be a hundred harms and no benefits for the Great Song Dynasty, and Luo Zhuo immediately figured it out.
So Luo Zhuo smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that if Luo Mou said that he acted on orders today, General Zhou probably would not let Luo Mou leave here alive!" ”
Zhou Jun nodded slightly and replied expressionlessly: "In the next place, it is also for the safety of the entire Great Song Dynasty and the Great Shuai, so I have to make this decision!" Offended! ”
"Hahaha! ......" Luo Zhuo's expression suddenly relaxed, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said loudly: "I'm afraid General Zhou also underestimates me Luo!" Although Luo did hesitate! But I, Luo, am not a blind man, who is thinking about the country between the tall and handsome and the saint, I'm afraid that I, Luo, can still tell the difference!
I think that when I Luo Zhuo followed General Bi back then, I swore that I would inherit the mantle of General Bi and restore the Central Plains for me sooner or later.
Since General Zhou wants me to answer from Luo, then Luo will tell General Zhou! Luo is not talented, and he doesn't want to be such a sinner for the ages! It seems that I will also resist this holy decree! ”
The expression on Zhou Jun's face also loosened a lot, staring at Luo Zhuo's eyes as if he wanted to see through Luo Zhuo, and Luo Zhuo did not flinch and looked at Zhou Jun.
"Can Zhou trust General Luo?" After a long time, Zhou Jun slowly asked Luo Zhuo.
"This is Luo's tiger talisman, now give it to General Zhou! With this tiger talisman, my Zhenjiang army all obeyed the dispatch of General Zhou, and I Luo is not talented, although I am a little older, but it is still unambiguous to go into battle to kill the enemy! May I be the vanguard of General Zhou! Luo Zhuo took out the tiger talisman in his arms, stretched out his hand and threw it to Zhou Jun.
Zhou Jun raised his hand to catch the tiger talisman of the Zhenjiang Army, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a smile, and he laughed: "General Luo is a real man!" Zhou admires! Then you and I will work together! ……”
