Wang Zaijin was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "This Xuzhou leader doesn't see me waiting, I'm afraid he thinks it's useless for me to wait!" ”

He sighed but the staff didn't hear it clearly, someone wanted to ask, Wang Zaijin shook his head again, and said in a gloomy tone: "It's better to be a prisoner of Xuzhou than a prisoner of Tartar." ”

"If the Xuzhou soldiers and horses and the Jianzhou Tartars clash, but you don't know who wins and who loses?"

"It is naturally fortunate for the world to let these two tigers fight, but you look at the movement of Xuzhou, from the beginning of the army to the present, but there is no risk, we look at the danger, but he Xuzhou is completely sure, such an old soldier, how can he go to fight with the Jianzhou Tartars?"

"Anyway, this time it will suppress Xuzhou, the imperial court wants a quick victory, but now it is a big defeat, those border passes will be urgent, will Lin Dan Khan and Jianzhou Jurchen, who are entrenched in Guihua City, move?"

"You and I have become prisoners, and we are still thinking about waiting for useless things to do, and look at the fate of this Xuzhou general!"

The city of Jinghai County has been restored to quiet, the corpses on the street have been moved out, and many people's cooking smoke rises, if it weren't for the dilapidated city walls, smelling the bloody smell still remaining on the streets, you wouldn't even think that there would be such a bloody battle today, this atmosphere is reassuring, and Wang Zaijin's staff walked all the way and talked all the way.

However, the guards who followed behind were indignant: "These sour people just want to show themselves in front of the thieves. ”

When they arrived at the county office, Wang Zaijin's guards were taken elsewhere, and he and his staff waited in front of the gate, and after escorting their guards in, they walked out quickly, with a little apology on their faces, and this subtle change in expression made several sensitive staff members suddenly frightened, and they thought they were going to kill them.

But I didn't expect the Zhao family army who went in to say: "Everyone, my general said, the military affairs are busy, there is no time to see you, please go yourself, your chariots and horses will be returned to a part, it is now dark, the chaos outside has not been cleared, you will leave tomorrow morning, someone will escort you to the Cangzhou area, and you will be at your own convenience." ”

Listening to the team's statement, Wang Zaijin and his staff were stunned, what the hell is this going to do? It's just that I don't see it, and I'm not qualified to ask for so many people, but it's really confusing to send people away.

"You hide there during the day, and go there to live at night, I say again, let you go is the kindness of my general, don't be ignorant." The escort party gave another warning, then ignored it and waved for the soldiers who were escorting them to disperse.

Wang Zaijin and the staff around him stood in front of the yamen of Jinghai County in a daze, all at a loss, and the soldiers of the Zhao family army who came and went looked at them in surprise, but they didn't pay much attention, what danger can a dozen or so young scribes have, and the Zhao family army is armed inside and outside the city.

"Arrogant people, how can they do it in the long run!" A younger staff member said indignantly, only after finishing speaking, did he realize that he had confided in his heart, and lowered his head quite ashamedly, the other staff members didn't care much, and everyone still wanted to sell this full of knowledge to Xuzhou, but they didn't expect the other party to see it.

In addition to the loss, everyone inexplicably had a fear in their hearts, the characters who can be Wang Zaijin's staff, at worst, are also talented and famous, and they are also proficient in practical reading, such scholars are respected there, and those literati who only know poetry and poetry must be able to do military affairs, do practical things, and have rich experience.

A new force like Xuzhou must not have a deep background, and on the way to be escorted over, many people are fantasizing about the scene after meeting, that Zhao Jin or coerced or begged everyone to serve, everyone had to put up a shelf, and then promised to come down when the fire was in place, and then this new dynasty was established, how could everyone have a rich future, that Liu Ji, that Song Lian, was just a broken scholar back then, and even some people thought that Zhao Jin could not persuade him to surrender, and then he would start to kill, how righteous and awe-inspiring his own family would be, It is also necessary to recite poems and leave a name in history.

Who would have thought that the leader of Xuzhou would not only not see, but even not kill, and would just let them go, without worrying that these strategic characters would reorganize their soldiers and horses to kill them, this is not contempt and contempt at all, but directly ignorance, are we worthless, who is the commander of this Xuzhou soldiers and horses?

Compared with the disappointed staff, Wang Zaijin's expression was still indifferent, but his waist became more and more rickety, even his still sharp eyes became dim, his steps even became a little staggering, and the whole person seemed to be aging rapidly, he staggered two steps here, and was hurriedly supported by the people around him, only then did he notice that he was wrong.

"Boss, boss, since the thief army is rampant, let's take the opportunity to go out of the city to regroup our troops and horses, and there will be a chance then!" Believe it or not, the staff member said in a low voice.

After Wang Zaijin was supported, he listened to the words in his ear, but a wry smile appeared on his face, and he said in an astringent voice: "What other opportunities are there there, you know why they let us go, they don't take the officers and soldiers in their eyes at all, I will gather troops and horses to fight again, they can still win a quick victory, why bother to take it to heart, besides, how can the officers and troops outside still gather, they have been completely defeated!" ”

The staff member who persuaded him also smiled bitterly when he heard this, but he looked at the side, and lowered his voice and said: "Boss, you see that this Xuzhou soldiers and horses are not like thieves, the military discipline is strict, there is no crime in the autumn, there are more rules and regulations than our officers and soldiers, this is much better than the Tartars and thieves, he doesn't care about us now, and there is no reason to worry about us in the future, let's go farther first, just see how they do it, don't seek wealth and prosperity, and enjoy the rest of your life in peace." ”

Wang Zaijin was stunned, but this time he was silent and did not speak, and the staff who supported and advised him breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Zaijin was a Jinshi in the twenty-second year of Wanli, and he had been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for more than 30 years, and the current situation was easy to make him disheartened and commit suicide.

If you are defeated by the Tartars and the captives, it is considered a heroic martyr to commit suicide, but now this pattern is not worth it, then the Ming Dynasty has done a mess, and it is not a bad thing to change the new atmosphere, but these words will not be said.

When I went to the house, the original enthusiasm and the sense of sharing the hardships of the family had become very cold, but Zhao Jiajun came to say hello, and he could only accept it, but the staff ventilated privately, and he couldn't let Wang Zaijin sleep alone at night, so as not to commit suicide without thinking about it, and the night passed like this.

************

From Jinghai County to Tianjin in the north, the official road has a total of more than 80 miles, because it is located in the plain, and next to the canal, so the road is smooth and wide, which is conducive to the movement of the army.

After the defeat of the official army brigade under the city of Jinghai County, all the officers and troops who did not enter the city were retreating towards Tianjin, at this time, only Tianjin was the nearest city, and they could also get support from all walks of life there, and there was only this place to go, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade were crowded on this official road, and there were people to hijack the few boats on the river.

The head of the battalion that withdrew first and fled first had the advantage at this time, the establishment was still there, the combat strength was not damaged, who dared to delay their march and kill them immediately, those wolf bèi rout stragglers were naturally not opponents, and they could only follow the brigade with their anger, only the officers and cavalry were not afraid, they had an innate advantage, and ran directly in front.

However, the cavalry of the official army did not only go this way, part of the cavalry of the Western Army went through the area between Deshengdian and Triangle Lake, and went to Baoding County and Bazhou in Shuntianfu, but there were some wetlands going south, and whether they could go over it depended on luck.

The cavalry strength of the Zhao family army was put into the battlefield at the end, which made the officers and soldiers who fled have a misunderstanding, thinking that the Zhao family army does not have many cavalry, and then they have to clean up the battlefield, and they have no time to take care of the fugitive soldiers and horses.

When the more than 2,000 cavalry of the Zhao family army led by Ji Xiang appeared, the various departments of the official army knew that their wishful thinking was a joke, and the officers and troops who fled were several times or even more than ten times that of the more than 2,000 cavalry, but they could not be concentrated at all, and they were dragged into a loose long snake formation from front to back, and they could only be defeated again.

As if a hot steel knife had cut through the solidified butter, the Zhao family's army and horse team led by Ji Xiang rushed through, and the official army split and broke apart on both sides of the official road.

The long knife in Ji Xiang's hand waved a few times, only two times hit the person, at other times, the range was empty, the enemy had long been hiding far away, there were bold officers and soldiers on both sides of the bow and arrows, for such a provocation, the cavalry of the Zhao family army would not let go, often a team broke away from the brigade, directly rushed to the bold officers and soldiers on the side of the road.

After so many times, the officers and soldiers all know the proportions of the Zhao family's army, they just want to rush forward, not to pursue and kill the enemy, the current officers and soldiers no longer have any courage and fighting spirit, since the Xuzhou people are willing to let go, they will not seek war, and some people realize that the Xuzhou people are going to seize Tianjin, so there is no point in everyone going to Tianjin.

The battalions of the officers and soldiers who fled on the official road were scattered, and the generals could not restrain the troops, and they did not want to restrain the troops, they were all running around with their own soldiers and guards, and anyone could know that the towns and villages along the way were going to suffer, and these places that were rich because of the luck of the river were going to be washed by the defeated generals, regardless of whether these defeated generals and defeated troops would be collected in the end, they would act recklessly in these places, and after that, the North Zhili Hejian Mansion and the Shuntian Mansion would be ruined.

Yoshika didn't care so much, he just rushed north with the cavalry.

"Don't care about the horse, run the dead horse, you run with it, we want to be fast!" Ji Xiang really didn't care.

However, from this morning to now, these horses themselves have not run much, and there is enough forage and food to replenish them, and then it is impossible to rush too fast from beginning to end on the official road, because the defeated and retreating officers and troops have blocked this side firmly, and it will take time to disperse.
