Volume 2 Returning to the Homeland (3)

In the evening, when it was dark, Shen Tuo was in the center, and before Kang Cheng's teaching, more than 200 people took advantage of the night to go to the border wall of the pass between the Western Xia and the Song Dynasty.

The night was vast and silent.

Only the wind swept through the trees, and the leaves and branches moved. In the woods and meadows, countless creatures did not pay attention to the human conquest and fighting, and still showed vitality.

Shen Tuo listened attentively, only to feel that the birds and insects chirped, and it was peaceful.

Kang Chengxunce immediately took a step forward, with an uneasy face, and said to Shen Tuo: "Official, the spies come to see during the day, there are still some tired and old soldiers, patrolling here, why is it so quiet at night, just afraid of fraud?" ”

Shen Tuo first groaned, and then said after half a sound: "Even so, it doesn't seem like there is an ambush here. ”

Kang Chengxun nodded and said, "The minister also feels so." ”

Several Mongolian generals who led the troops saw that Shen Tuo did not give an order, and came forward one by one, and when they heard the conversation between their monarchs and ministers, they all said: "The ministers have fought countless battles, according to the ministers, there are no ambushes on this wall." ”

Shen Tuo finally made up his mind and smiled at everyone: "Even if there are tens of millions of soldiers in front of you, can you be afraid?" Training, you open the way in front of your head, let's follow. ”

Kang Chengxun still felt that it was inappropriate, this place was the junction of Xia and Song, once it passed here, it was the boundary of Yanzhou of Song, Xia and Song had fought for many years, although Song and Jin were at war over the years, there was no reason to abandon the garrison at the junction with Song.

It's just that the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, so he has to respond at the moment: "Yes, the minister obeys the order!" ”

After all, he took fifty horsemen as the lead and took the lead in crossing the border by himself.

Shen Tuo led more than 100 Chinese troops to ride closely behind.

Everyone knew that the situation was strange, and they did not dare to stop for a moment, and galloped all night, never sparing their horsepower.

When the morning dawned and a few traces of fish belly white were revealed in the east, this small group of cavalry actually rushed out of the Song-Xia border hundreds of miles away.

Kang Chengxun got a high post, put his hand on the pergola and looked around, but saw a small valley not far away, which seemed to have the appearance of a village. He was excited in his heart, and immediately ran to Shen Tuo's side, shouting: "Guanjia, there is a village in front, how about we go over and rest immediately?" ”

Running all night, people and horses are very tired, at this time let the horses rest, people are also in high spirits, everyone heard Kang Chengxun shouted, and they all looked up at him.

I saw that he, along with the war horse under him, was covered with water stains on his face.

There is sweat, and there are tears.

Shen Tuo was also excited in his heart, but he knew that he needed to be cautious at this time, and he couldn't act freely. This Kang Chengxun is a man of wood and loyalty, and he takes no idea as the biggest idea, and he actually has an idea at this time. He looked back, the Mongols had not arrived at their hometown anyway, they had no expression, and all the Song guards were fanatical.

He was always uneasy about the situation last night, and because he forcibly restrained his joy, he only ordered a Mongolian ten-master who knew Chinese: "You take a team of people and go over to see if there is anything abnormal." ”

"Yes!"

A small group of Mongols left in the dust, and Shen Tuo also rode his horse to the high post to see.

Typical Han architecture, although it is not blue bricks and green tiles, is also a strange and strange intermittent, with eaves and arches.

He couldn't help but feel excited, only to feel that his eyes were sour and astringent, and it was difficult to control himself. Compared with Kang Chengxun and the others, his captivity years were much shorter than them, and he was still like this, not to mention the rest of them.

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Shen Tuo jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "It's cowardly to be close to the countryside!" What's more, we are not only returning to our hometown, but also the mountains and rivers, the anger is soaring, and the salvation is trying to survive, and the first is in the king! ”

When Shen Tuo came back, what should he do, how to do it, whether to compete with Zhao Gou for power and profit, and then continue to blindly retreat to the Jin State back then, or to be a puppet emperor with peace of mind, although all the close ministers were with him day and night, they never heard him talk about it, at this time Shen Tuo actually took the initiative to mention this matter, which made everyone more concerned than returning to the Song Realm.

At that moment, all the Song people gathered around and looked at Shen Tuo.

Shen Tuo smiled slightly. He has been a leader for many years, grasping the psychology of the masses, holding meetings and making speeches, and boosting morale, which is his forte.

At the moment, he said: "This time I fled south, every time I think about it, I feel ashamed. I found an opportunity to escape from the control of the Hu people, but my father was still in the Five Kingdoms and was suffering from the Jin people. As soon as I escape, the Jin people will be angry, and they will definitely insult their father even more. I'm thousands of miles away, but I'm worried. ”

His words really grasped everyone's psychology. The Song people are different from the Han and Tang dynasties, and what martial arts and cultural governance are less than a filial piety character. If Shen Tuo only cares about himself, no matter what big things he wants to do, but he leaves Lao Tzu Zhao Ji aside, then his subordinates will definitely not really support him.

The reason why Zhao Heng has always been regarded as Zhengshuo is precisely this set.

Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in front of them really showed a look of admiration and sadness, but they heard Shen Tuo say again: "In addition to my father, there are thousands of my loyal and good people, trapped in the northern kingdom, reduced to slavery, I hereby swear that I will restore my homeland, welcome back my father, and save my people from fire and water, if this oath is violated, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" ”

These words, in Shen Tuo's opinion, are just to inspire, and what he said is indeed his heart. Listening to the ears of this dry Song people, it is like a thunderbolt in the sky!

For many years, except for the two brothers Taizu and Taizong who founded the country, the rest of the monarchs in the Northern Song Dynasty were timid and incompetent.

Song Zhenzong was forced to the front line by Kou Zhun, and he was bent on making peace after winning the battle, he was such an emperor, and he was still called a hero. And in this era of mourning, the descendants of the Zhao family are not as good as a crab, and they are as soft as if they have no bones.

At this time, from the mouth of the emperor who had millions of soldiers but insisted on begging for mercy, he said such heroic words, and everyone was stunned for a while, and they were in a dream.

After half a ring, everyone reacted, and one by one they burst into tears, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Your Majesty has this heroic decision, and the ministers are with you, what is the regret of death?" ”

"Good!" Shen Tuo nodded, helped everyone up one by one, and said: "I have to preach more about today's words, so that the people of my Great Song Dynasty will know what I mean!" ”

"Yes!"

Shen Tuo was greatly satisfied.

These are his close ministers, and it is better for them to proclaim their words than to go around and speak them themselves. After a few days, all the people of the Great Song Dynasty will know that the cartilage emperor of the year has fled back and wants to reorganize his army and recover his homeland. In this way, what is the fate of Zhao Gou, who must flee in every battle, does not ask.

"Hey."

Shen Tuo sneered slightly, although his history was not very good, he also knew that Zhao Gou was in Yangzhou at this time, and the Jin soldiers attacked, and this person fled from Yangzhou in a hurry, which caused him to be frightened of impotence.

The world, after all, can't let this kind of incompetent shaft master!

At this moment, a small group of Mongol soldiers came from a distant village.

Things have changed! And every man, who had been in battle for a long time, immediately got up, took his spear and sword, and turned over on his horse. After a while, the small group of Mongolian soldiers came quickly, and the ten-division commander hurried to Shen Tuo's side, and said to Shen Tuo in half-baked Chinese: "Official, there are no people in that village, we looked at it from a distance, and only saw a small group of golden soldiers stationed in the village!" ”

"Oh?"

Shen Tuo was not familiar with the war, but just looked at Kang Chengxun and the others.

Kang Chengxun said: "In Yichen's opinion, Yanzhou is only afraid that it has fallen. This place is just a small village, but it is a traffic avenue, so there are golden soldiers stationed here. ”

He then continued: "No wonder the Xia people retreated, it turned out that they were closing the defense line, afraid that the Jin soldiers would enter the Xia realm. ”

Shen Tuo said: "It doesn't matter. What should we do at this time? ”

Kang Chengxun said: "We can't delay, Yanzhou has fallen, and Yanzhou is only afraid and not guaranteed." I had to hurry up, regardless of whether there were Jin soldiers on the road, and insisted on going south! ”
