Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 20 Thousand Riders Scroll Hiraoka (7)
The aroma of wine and meat is still lingering in the private room. Zhang Qi invited wine today, I am afraid that he spent a lot of money, and the wine and food are good. I'm afraid this seat is not a price of seven or eight times. Rao is Lu Yong has ten pieces of pure copper in his waist, and he is reluctant to get such a seat at home. In the past, what I drank was just a village brew of fifty or sixty yuan. How can there be such a good wine entrance today, only to feel that the wine is round?
Although the atmosphere felt a little strange before, but the wine and meat were down, Lu Yong had already forgotten this weirdness to the clouds. The liquor entered the throat, and the pores of the whole body were opened, which was indescribably comfortable. Even the wine burp was choked by my mother, for fear of taking away the taste of this good wine.
But Zhang Qi's words came out faintly, somehow. Lu Yong felt that the strength of the wine had turned into cold sweat and burst out!
As a member of the Bianliang New Army, there is strict military law in the army. King Yan wants to help Hedong, and everyone in Bianliang knows it. If you don't give this military order, it will be like a military mutiny, and military law will fall on your head, and it will be a bloody end!
Lu Yong wanted to slap the table and leave, but looking at the dozen or so men, he just looked at himself with a bad look. Others quietly sealed the door. If he leaves, he will be afraid that he will have to fight. Lu Yong's ability is on a horse, and he walks with looped legs. Even if it is not weak in foot combat, it will deal with two or three men at most. This room is narrow, and these soldiers are afraid that they are not all used to being idle in the market, and they have the most hands and feet in the melee, so if they really want to fight together, I Lu Dalang will have to return to his position today!
Thanks to Lu Yong, who followed the horse caravan to the north and south, he had also seen many sinister scenes. He calmed down for a while, and asked Zhang Qi: "Seventh brother, what is this mean?" We are soldiers. It is the salary of King Yan. I eat Yanwang rice grain. Let us go wherever we go. Can you still resist the order? β
Zhang Qiyi slapped the table: "Even the bird Yan Wang's army pays the Yan King's rice grain." Isn't this all the military salary and rice grain of the imperial court? We are forbidden troops of the imperial court, and we must not be the tooth soldiers of King Yan! And on the day of the palace change, we poured our strength into the sky for King Yan to lift his head, which is exactly what we should do! β
Another soldier with a meaty face also slapped the table and echoed: "No, that's exactly the truth? Later that year, the Zhou forbidden army was dressed in the yellow robe of Taizu. I have eaten it in Bianliang for more than 100 years. Our achievements that day are not as bad as Chen Qiao's yellow robes, why can't we sit and eat in Bianliang for another hundred years? Why do you want us to go to Hedong to fight with the Tartars? We just don't go to Hedong, but we see what King Yan can do! β
This military Han is idle in the market, and after listening to the stories of the previous dynasty, he actually knows that Chen Qiao's mutiny is added to the yellow robe. It is really not easy to distinguish the Hou Zhou Da Song. The so-called Great Song Dynasty has well water, and someone can sing the new words at that time, which is really not deceiving.
A group of soldiers followed and complained loudly. It's just one thing.
When the palace changed, everyone contributed to Xiao Yan, and it was appropriate for their family to eat food and salary for a lifetime. And children and grandchildren should all eat this forbidden army salary. If they deserve to be rewarded, why do they really train everyone like fools? The wine in the camp is not allowed to eat, and the money cannot be played, so the little pass pounced, and those village men who were the henchmen of King Yan were military generals saw it and dragged it down with ten rods. Bianliang, the most prosperous city in the world, is by his side, but he can't leave the camp. Just wait for a group of men outside the city to stare at each other.
How can this be endured? King Yan is so cold to the heroes!
Not to mention that everyone has a stupid salary, and the businesses that the forbidden army did were all about. colluded with idlers to settle down to lend money and set up a bureau, and made trouble and coaxed to collect money. None of them can be done, brother. What's the fun of this soldier?
It turned out that the forbidden army had sent 20,000 troops to participate in the battle of Yan, but it was almost dispersed in a hurry when it arrived in Zhending. The saints and officials are helpless, why do we, the good men, listen to the order of this bird swallow king and go to Hedong to die?
In the midst of the noise of the military and the men, Zhang Qi was even more persuasive: "...... Da Lang, it's not just us who are not willing to go to Hedong to die. It's those veterans of the Gongwei Forbidden Army who are stupid in their work, which one is willing to go to Hedong? Although it was hard work, the village women who were rough always found seven or eight out of ten, settled in the narrow alleys of the building streets, and gave birth to three or two stupid children. Even though life is embarrassing, the family is still around. Although in the camp, these village birds are honest and obedient. But with an order to go to Hedong to die, who is willing? When the time comes, there will be a disturbance, and the whole army will be dispersed! β
Lu Yong listened in a daze, and just muttered: "But the soldiers and horses used by King Yan are fierce, and on the night of the palace change, two or three hundred horsemen trampled over the ............ of tens of thousands of people."
Zhang Qi snorted, although he had not gone to watch the departure of the Chinese army today. But at that time, I also listened to the scene. Those who saw it said that they still had palpitations in their hearts. If you say that the tigers and wolves under Xiao Yan's command who are old in battles are not envoys, they can't say it.
After a pause, he drank a cup and said with red eyes: "If the Chinese army doesn't send it, we will naturally be flattened." I Zhang Qi is a man, and there is no reason to coax the brothers to die. But Yanwang Hedong is important, and he has already sent the Chinese army out! What are we afraid of? With the ermine hat and Yan Wangzhi, you want to subdue us, can you subdue these tens of thousands of soldiers? Not to mention the ministers of the DPRK and China, as well as the military towns outside the country, naturally they will also take the opportunity to enter. When the time comes, let's see if King Yan will be straight with King Yan with his mink hat, can he turn the sky upside down! β
The cold sweat on Lu Yong's body has been exhausted, and he knows that there is already a big situation taking shape. I also couldn't figure it out in my heart, how could King Yan be such a heroic figure, how could he send the Chinese army out lightly? Or does King Yan have a backhand arrangement?
Thinking of this, Lu Yong couldn't help but speak again: "............ The plan in the army has changed, and King Yan has reached such a position, is he a person who is not vigilant. How can I not do it first? At that time, everyone just waited for the military law to fall on their heads? β
Zhang Qi smiled mysteriously and patted Lu Yong on the shoulder, looking closer and closer the more he talked. Lu Yong asked so carefully, but it was reassuring, if he didn't care about patting his chest, he would join the big move. If you can't say it, you have to throw this Lu Dalang over in the dry well in the backyard. It's a pity that such a good man steals wine and drinks with his family.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Da Lang is worried, but why are we not prepared? There is no rush to change in the army. The military horses from other towns have already come to Bianliang. We are just honest here, whatever King Yan says, we will obey the order. In this way, King Yan still dared to start. Are you really afraid of forcing this army to reverse? King Yan also relied on this army and horse to suppress the ministers of the court............ Wait for the military horses of other towns to approach Bianliang. King Yan is going to use us to resist. At that time, no matter how much the whole army is against his mother, seeing that King Yan has great ability, what tricks can he give birth? Now it's not just a few of our brothers who are secretly discussing this important matter, but among the four compartments, how many good men are colluding, just waiting for the time to make a big move! β
Zhang Qi said it carefully, but Lu Yong was even more frightened. This kind of planning could not be arranged by a military man like Zhang Qi. I don't know how many big people are secretly manipulating a qiΔ behind the scenes!
Zhang Qi's tone sounded: "............ that the brethren may be reassured. King Yan aided the Hedong Army, and we didn't move far. The military horses of the other towns will not move to us. I can't help but endure in the camp as usual. Once the news arrives, it will be a fortune! β
When this news arrives, it must be that the big people behind it are sure that it will come out, right?
Lu Yong was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Seventh brother, this wine has caused a lot of trouble." Seventh brother, you heroes, have already planned such a thing. More than I am, less than a lot. Why do you want to join the gang in life? At this moment, for the sake of life, there is only one way to get on the ship of the seventh brother. I don't want anything rich. I just want to keep this head and eat in the future. This time, the seventh brother succeeded in a great event, and I returned my salary. Go out and sell horses. Bianliang is a good place, but it is not where I can squat in this village. β
Zhang Qihaha laughed, patted Lu Yong's shoulder harder and harder: "Da Lang, we are familiar at first sight, what are you doing when you say such uninteresting words?" Who doesn't know that you have righteousness and ability? We are the commander of the Third Horse Army on the left side, with two hundred and fifty cavalry soldiers, who is not capable of training you right away? Who doesn't call you Lu Dalang a master? When you speak, it is more useful than the commander. When the time comes, pull these more than 200 horsemen out, and you will lead the charge to kill in Bianliang City, who dares to underestimate our brothers? β
Lu Yong looked at Zhang Qi in a daze, he didn't expect that this broken idle man was really big-minded, and he actually wanted to pull out all the third commanders of the Left Horse Army for his use! These idlers only have the ability to fight between the markets, and it is impossible to command the Ma Army's spears and halberds to kill, so they rely on their own families like this!
Before I thought about it, Zhang Qi stole wine and drank with his own family in the camp, and from time to time he gave some small favors, and his brother and brother were affectionate. It's just prepared for a long time.
Zhang Qi glanced at the people in the room, gritted his teeth and said, "What is it, how can it all rely on the soldiers of other towns!" Shall they receive all the credit? We are the sitting tigers of Bianliang! Don't end up at the mercy of these out-of-town soldiers! If you can pull a heavy armored cavalry army of three or five hundred horses - on the night of the palace change, Xiao Yan will rely on three or five hundred horses to become the king of Yan! When the time comes, we will make a career, and the status of King Yan is not wanted, why can't we get a horizontal class martial minister? The world is about to change, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and they always take advantage! β
A group of military men incited Zhang Qi's blood boiling, and they lowered their voices and applauded one by one. It seems to see one by one who has become a high-grade military minister, with the title of Yao County Official. How many businesses did his subordinates have that used to be the gate control army, and since then they have become masters!
Lu Yong was helpless, and could only laugh. With these soldiers alone, he can fight with all his courage, and maybe he will have a chance to fight out. But these military men are just the lowest figures in this day's layout, and the forces behind them are unfathomable. After leaving this gate, I don't know if I can return to the camp safely!
Even if you give up a qiΔ, abandon your job and abscond. Until he was helpless, Lu Yong was no longer willing to go to the Northland to be a horse driver who couldn't get out of 10,000 years. In this game, although my heart is juggling because I am nervous and afraid, I can't help but always be a little excited. But whenever there is a big change, it is always a chance for some people to get ahead, but they have to gamble with their lives!
After Zhang Qi finished agitating, he reached out to his waist and took out a stack of money, all of which were new. The denominations are the largest ten. The new fold is four, this thick stack of money, how can there be a thousand times up and down!
"The brethren are just going to divide it, and they are in the camp recently, and they are just looking for like-minded brothers to consult secretly. Just wait for the news to arrive, and the money can be scattered. Once it happens, what is this bit of wealth worth? β
When the money is taken out, the atmosphere in the room becomes more and more enthusiastic. This is a real thing, and it can best encourage the idlers who don't want to die to break the mood!
Zhang Qi struck while the iron was hot, poured a big bowl, poured it full of wine, pulled out the hand relief knife from the leg belt, and strangled it in his palm, and the blood dripped into the bowl of wine, and he fainted.
"I ate this bowl of blood wine today. Life and death in the future. Make a big deal! Our brothers. Life is not afraid of Zhao Guan's family. Death is not afraid of King Yama. Wealth is in front, who is still afraid of that bird swallow king! β
The soldiers all stretched out their hands and shed their own blood. Lu Yong had no choice but to ask Zhang Qi for the untie knife, and cut it in his palm.
Ri Niang picks up birds, this time, don't stand in the wrong place. As long as you choose the right one, it's a real opportunity to get ahead!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the official road that zigzags southeast along Weishui, a team of military horses. Rushing along.
Shaanxi Silu decades of war with Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty persevered in the huge amount of resources. Let the road from Shaanxi to Bianliang be wide and smooth, suitable for the endless movement of a large number of logistics vehicles and horses. Even the passage of the army is just as smooth.
(The level that the Great Song Dynasty could achieve was far less than that of the Huanghuang Qing Dynasty in later generations.) In modern times, it is not possible to mobilize military horses to rush to the battlefield in such a whole way, so they can only disperse and rush with two or three hundred people at a time, and spend a lot of time to reassemble when they arrive at the battlefield. During the First Opium War, about 100,000 reinforcements were mobilized along the coast. The First Opium War, which lasted for more than a year, was over, and many reinforcements were still on the way. ββββOscar press)
This army of horses was about seven or eight thousand horses. It was all the cavalry in the Xihe Army. Since the death of the old seed, Yao Gu did not wait to mourn, so he summoned the light horse that he had prepared long ago and galloped all the way to Bianliang. (Yao Gu is the commander of the Xihe Army, the old seed Zhangjing Yuan is also the four-way strategy, the small kind is Qin Feng, the former wrote Yao Gu to lead the Qin Feng Army, it is written incorrectly and mixed, the above - Oscar press, don't slap your face when you fight............ οΌ
In order to go to Bianliang this time to compete for the merits of the sky, the old foundation of the Xihe Army was taken out by Yao Gu. In addition to the war horses that have been accumulated in the Western Xia for decades, even the folk mules and horses have been sent out recently. At the time of departure, there were more than 8,000 horses, and everyone had horses in addition to horses, and if the horses were insufficient, they would be filled with mules and donkeys.
The roads were in good condition, and along the way, for the war with the Western Xia, there were also warehouses of grain, straw and horse materials. Yao Gu ignored it, and the expedition along the way was lacking the drag of a large number of logistics and heavy teams. There are people left behind along the way, and they just don't care. When the army marched, it was extremely fast.
Enter Bianliang from Guanxi, walk along the official road on the Weishui side, or directly enter Tongguan, or go around a circle from Jingzhao Mansion. It is not more than a day to Tongguan.
From Jingzhaofu to Tongguan, it is more than 280 miles of road. A two-day trip. After more than 200 miles of Tongguan Road, we came to the land of from Kansai. A two-day journey to Xijing. From Xijing to Bianliang, even if it slows down a little, the cavalry army can cover the attack in four or five days.
Under the urging of Yao Gu this time, the Xihe army walked quickly, and now they have passed Jingzhao Mansion, and they can arrive at night today when they see Tongguan!
In the army, Yao Gu did not play a flag guard of honor, and he marched lightly with the military horses under his command, and his own horses carried blades and armor for food. Lead by example. The generals of the Western Army, since the war with the Western Xia gradually subsided, have not been so hard and simple for many years.
He was closely followed by his son, Yao Pingzhong. Both father and son are dusty, but they are full of energy. Yao Pingzhong just urged the horse to turn back and forth, boosting morale everywhere, and his voice was hoarse at this time.
"Daddy, the Jingyuan Army of Jingzhao Mansion has decided to follow us eastward. Send the cavalry to chase after us desperately, let us stay for a while, so that we can join the army. The envoy of Jingzhao Mansion Yin was also among them, saying that our army was in a hurry, and there was no reward, and now they are being chased from the rear to help King Qin's army and horses. β
Yao Gu laughed: "Who is waiting for them patiently?" Jing Yuanjun and Qin Fengjun spread out an indecisive little breed of princes, and they deserved to follow us behind the buttocks and eat ashes. As for the reward for the march, won't we go to Bianliang to get it? Can my husband treat us lightly? This is a second achievement in setting things right and exterminating the ministers. What do you get straight with just a few goods? As a father, he can't enter the West Mansion, and the four roads in Guanxi have to sit in the Yao family. β
Yao Pingzhong shook his head: "This Xifu is not something that our military ministers can sit on. β
Yao Gu laughed even louder: "Idiot, do you still think this moment is still the years of Di Wu Xianggong?" If the father is in charge of the Western Mansion, who of these civil servants can show the face of the father? Now that Xiao has lifted the table, it is the season to break and stand up, and the man will make great achievements! β
Yao Pingzhong still shook his head, feeling that it was still good in Kansai. However, Yao Gu has always dared to take risks, and Yao Pingzhong is bolder than him. This time, he suddenly went east and went to Bianliang to build this immortal achievement, which was very much his appetite.
Since the palace change, the pattern of the Great Song Dynasty has only been temporarily stable and stalemate. is just waiting for the opportunity to break the situation, and the princes in the capital are seizing the opportunity to transfer local strong towns to Beijing to reorganize the situation. The entire Great Song Dynasty was in a commotion. Especially in Gyeonggi, Hebei Zhulu, and Kansai Zhulu are the most enthusiastic!
Although Xiao Yan lifted the table with force, shocking all parties in the Great Song Dynasty who didn't know how to act for a while, but once the princes of the court and the central government reacted, they presided over the counterattack. The power of this entanglement is still huge!
The main force of the Jingyuan Army could not do it because of the mourning of the small species, and the Xihe Army was too far away, and the Qin Feng Army, which had been prepared, became the main force of the Western Army. Along the way, the counties and counties were passed, and the ministers cooperated. Many of the garrison generals were drawn from a small number of cavalry troops to join the brigade, and everyone saw that this was a great achievement, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie!
The sight of coming all the way made Yao Gu very satisfied. It's just that I feel that the farmer is no longer lucky, and there is an ignorant Zong Ze who is old.
Yao Gu raised his whip and pointed to the road ahead: "At this moment, the Wei River is still shallow, and the boat cannot sail. We don't care how many horses die and how many people are left behind. Why do you have to grit your teeth and bump into Tongguan Road! After the Tongguan Road, the Yellow River is open, Pujindu, Xiwodu are Dadu, and there are hundreds of ships to carry grain to Guanxi all year round. When the time comes, the whole army will get on the boat, sandwich the river to the east, and go down the wind and water, which is much faster and more convenient than riding a horse! When I arrived in Xijing, I wrapped up those useless military horses in Xijing, stationed and guarded the river, even if the number of soldiers was scarce, and it was completely impossible to go into battle, but there were 1,000 is 1,000, and 2,000 was 2,000, which was used to strengthen the momentum! Then go straight to Kaifeng Zuo Near, cut off the ferries from the east of the river to the land of, and go straight to Bianliang, look at Xiao Yan, what else can he do! β
The grand scene depicted by Yao Gu made Yao Pingzhong's blood boil, and he immediately saluted his father with his fists: "Daddy, just rest assured, even if the child fights to the death, he must urge the whole army, and within three days, how can he cross the Tongguan Road!" β
Yao Pingzhong ignored his fatigue, rode his horse back again, and urged the military horses that were left behind to move at the same time. And Yao Gu just raised his eyes to the east and muttered: "Straight lady thief, don't give the Yongning Army those birds to grab the front!" (To be continued......)
PS: There is one more more.
