Chapter 80: King Jingwu
The dead are to be honored.
The act of whipping corpses is often despised by society.
The planter died, and died for the country. At this moment, no one accused him of improper use of troops, no one accused him of leading his troops lightly, losing his teachers and humiliating the country, and no one accused him of his character. Because he is dead, the dead no longer compete, and the dead do not continue to compete with the living.
Many are tolerant of the dead. Even if he was once an enemy, he is now forgiven.
The imperial court issued an edict to commemorate the seed master, and gave the young master a gift, and said Zhuang Shu.
Similarly, Zhao Pu, who went out with the army, was also famous all over the world because he died.
Zhao Pu, the thirteenth son of the Emperor Taishang, His Royal Highness King Yi, and the younger brother of the current saint. In the past, he generously went to the country, regarded death as if he were at home, did not avoid life and death, and went to the Jin army camp as a hostage; Now he does not avoid life and death, personally joined the army, rescued Hedong, personally fought with the Jin army, and finally died in the killing of Xiongling, the saddest thing is that even the body was not found.
So, overnight, King Yi Zhao Pu became a martyr and a model, and was praised by the court and posthumously named King Jingwu. Jing, Liqing, represents the peace of the country and the subsidence of the war; Martial arts, stop fighting for martial arts. Jingwu, with strong force, defends the country and quells turmoil.
This prince, who sacrificed his life for the country, changed his taste for the reincarnation of Zhou Gongdan in an instant.
In the past, this prince bullied men and women, seized shops, fought and brawled, and did many immoral things, but no one mentioned it at this moment. Everyone in the world is thinking that people are not sages, who can do nothing, who has not had the experience of children, who has not made mistakes.
Readers are commemorating this prince, and the poems they are reciting one after another; And the woman in the Qinglou is also constantly mourning, singing lamentations.
…………
And when the world was mourning the deceased prince, Zhao Pu was fighting with Wanyan Lou.
At this moment, Zhao Pu is wandering around, often looking at the terrain of the pine forest.
It has to be said that the map of the Song Dynasty is too rudimentary, or the hydrology of Hedong is too complicated. The maps of the Song Dynasty also mainly marked large cities, large counties and towns, or important roads. Many mountainous terrains are brushed aside, and some remote mountain villages are mostly ignored.
Here, for example, no geographical names are indicated.
It's just that this is a continuous mountain range, very low, but overgrown with pine trees, which are extremely high for several meters, even more than ten meters. It is surrounded by dense pine trees and a mess of weeds, hidden in the weeds that are difficult to detect. Wolves and insects are often found here, and the most terrifying are poisonous snakes.
Walking in dense grass, you may accidentally step on a poisonous snake; It may be that while sleeping, a poisonous snake burrows into the tent.
But when they stepped on a snake, the soldiers were often surprised, not surprised.
Once, when Zhao Pu was eating, he saw a snake crawling over a soldier's foot, wrapped around his foot and neck, and kept climbing up, which scared Zhao Pu so much that he almost screamed. But the soldier didn't care, raised his right hand, pinched the snake's three inches, probed the short knife in his hand, cut the neck of the poisonous snake, threw the snake's head aside, and said lightly: "Tonight, you can add food!" ”
Looking at the snake head rolling on the ground, Zhao Pu's mood was tumbling and depressed to the extreme.
It seems that the people here are timid, and he is afraid of snakes.
The soldiers here, the first reaction when they see the poisonous snake is surprise, and then they kill the snake and taste the snake smell. And Wang Yan invited him to eat snake meat many times, but he refused, because he was afraid of snakes.
I have to say that everything in Hedong is foreign to him.
Hedong in the Great Song Dynasty was different from Shanxi in later generations.
In later generations, Shanxi was too densely populated, and after a large number of industrial development, especially coal excavation, small coal kilns bloomed everywhere, and the original natural scenery has long been lost. However, in the Great Song Dynasty, the population of Hedong was only more than 2 million, and there was very little damage to nature, everything was very primitive, and there were original pine forests like this everywhere.
In this era, soil erosion in the east of the river was not too serious.
Except for Taiyuan, Datong, Linfen and other places that have been developed, most of the areas are few people, or uninhabited. It is inherently the best place for guerrilla warfare, sports warfare.
At this time, the pine forest where they were stationed was a vast mountain range, and thousands of people could not find a trace of a cat in it. If you want to besiege here, dream that even an army of 100,000 people will be overwhelmed by huge mountains, and without a guide, it is very easy to get lost.
"Hedong is a good place, much better than Henan!" Zhao Pu sighed in his heart.
The Central Plains is the belly of the world. Occupy the Central Plains, can control the Quartet, is the best place to set the capital, Luoyang in ancient times, Kaifeng today, are the same. However, the shortcomings are also obvious, once the dynasty is weak, it is almost impossible to run. Bianliang is surrounded by a large plain, once Bianliang falls, once the city is lost, the people are almost aliens, the object of robbery by soldiers and bandits, if you don't get it, it is a massacre one after another, you can't run if you want to, and you can't run on four legs no matter how fast you are.
And Hedong is much happier, the land east of the river, the surface of the mountains and rivers, between the mountains is the bottom of the plain, in the peaceful years, you can cultivate in the plains formed at the bottom of the valley, and in the war years, you can run to the mountains. It was safe to run into the mountains, and although the cavalry was strong, they could not climb the mountain, so they avoided the danger of being slaughtered.
And this Jin army invasion, it seems to occupy the east of the river, Taiyuan can be broken overnight, in fact, there are righteous troops all over the mountains, these righteous troops are like ants, the small ones are only a dozen people, and the large ones are thousands of people. The Jin army is powerless to encircle and suppress at all, and if the number of people is small, it will have no effect at all, and if there are many people, it will be a waste of grain and grass.
"The loss of Taiyuan is already a foregone conclusion, take pity on the loyal ministers and righteous people, and sacrifice their lives for the country!" Zhao Pu sighed.
There is nothing more painful in the world than knowing that a tragedy is about to happen, but there is nothing you can do to prevent it.
He knew that the rescue of Taiyuan was extremely dangerous, and the three-way reinforcements might be wiped out, but he was powerless to stop it, so he could only watch the middle of the seed master die; There is also the fall of Taiyuan, and the tragic Taiyuan Massacre is about to reappear, but he is still powerless to stop it. It's all because his strength is too weak.
In the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks are useless.
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor, Lao Tzu is only sixteen years old now, and now Jin Taizong is in his fifties, and Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Lou are also in their forties and fifty. There are not a few years to live, and in another ten years, twenty years, all of them will be in the coffin and die, but Lao Tzu is only in his thirties, and he will survive to death! ”
Thinking of the age advantage, Zhao Pu felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.
He doesn't have much of an advantage, he just needs to be young. He is young and has the capital to fight for everything, and the status of those Jin Army, famous generals, etc., are already dying, unable to endure the torture of death, and death is not far away.
"The general has discovered that the Jin army is infested and is encamping in a hundred miles away!"
"Everything is going according to plan!"
At this time, Zhao Pu couldn't help laughing.
He is the prince, the most noble person, and he is naturally not needed for these killings. All he needs to do is sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait quietly for news of victory or defeat. Before all the Song troops died, he didn't need to go to the battlefield in person.
…………
And a hundred miles away, it is where the Jin army camped.
Wan Yan Lou looked at the surrounding environment, his mood was complicated, and he suddenly thought of the battle when the Jin Kingdom rose. At that time, there were only 2,000 Jurchen warriors, all of them made of bamboo, and the weapons were all animal bones or rusty spears.
At that time, the Jurchens could be described as poor and white.
At that time, the Jurchens were divided, and the various tribes fought with each other, and they were jointly exploited and oppressed by the Khitan, and the cadres did not dare to speak.
Until, Taizu appeared, and finally angrily resisted the Liao army, at that time there were only 2,000 Jurchen soldiers.
The Liao army is known as 100,000 troops coming, 100,000 is a bit of a boast, but there are at least 50,000 people. 2,000 VS 50,000, there is no chance of winning at all, but Taizu fought fiercely, and finally won, and he also gained the right to survive for the Jurchens.
Later generations seemed to see that Taizu was using the fog to blur the vision of the Liao army, and then led the elite soldiers to attack, resulting in the defeat of the Liao army and the victory.
It seems that the victory, only because of a heavy fog.
However, Wanyan Lou Room snorted, how could victory be so easy to say.
That fog was just a good time, and that fog was actually the beginning of the general offensive. In the previous battle, the Jin army fought while guarding the old and weak children to retreat, constantly attacking and harassing the Liao army, and the Liao army was already exhausted, and when the Liao army was exhausted to the extreme, it launched a general attack, so the Liao army, which was originally under great pressure and tended to collapse mentally, collapsed in an instant, so it was defeated.
In the subsequent battles, the Jin army also constantly attacked the enemy's battle formation, again and again, often for a day of fierce fighting, impacting dozens of back and forth, in order to make the enemy tired, so that the enemy's psychological pressure increased, when the enemy was tired to the extreme, psychological tension to the extreme, it would be completely collapsed, or crazy, lose cool.
At this time, it was the time for the Jin army to really attack and completely wipe out the enemy.
This is also the battle mode of the Jin Army, this mode is very simple, not complicated at all, but it has repeatedly defeated the enemy.
PS: It's the New Year, I wish you all a happy year. There is something tomorrow, and it may be updated later.
