It's been seven days.

It's been seven days.

Under the fierce offensive of the Jurchens, Cheng Ju, who was "monk" halfway, led a group of stragglers to defend the county town for seven days and seven nights. This is not counting the three days from his assumption of power to the time before the Jurchens began their official siege, otherwise, this record would have been extended by three days, reaching ten.

What is the concept of seven days? Professional veterans Duan Pengju and Ma Wanli respectively led a fully staffed and bowed servant army, accumulating their time to fight the Jurchens, and the combined number of days of the two did not break through single digits. If it weren't for the fact that the Jurchens like to divide their troops into the villages and squares in the deep mountains and old forests, they would have wasted their time, relying on these border county supervisors alone to support the field, and the sky of the capital would have collapsed.

The real pillar of the Lelang border army is undoubtedly the old general Wang Huan. But no one expected that in a city where there was no hope, a ruthless character who no one knew would emerge.

It was this scholar who was so sick a moment ago that he even forgot who he was, and the results he handed over in these seven days simply impressed everyone, whether it was the enemy or his own people.

The Jurchens felt that they had encountered their first tough battle since entering Goryeo. His own people are even more confused, and he is too stubborn to be afraid that he has never seen this Cheng Xianggong before, and he doesn't even know who he is. Lelang County went back to the palace three times and nine times to inquire about it until the Huitian Army, only to learn that this Cheng Xianggong was the unlucky leader who was rescued by a teenager from a fishing village in Jeju on the edge of Liangshan Shuibo and was rescued by a teenager from a fishing village in Jeju to return to the cottage.

However, bad luck only means that he is not very lucky, but it has little to do with his methods. At this time, the servant army in Sticky Cicada City who was obedient to Cheng Ju had the most right to speak, and it was this minister who made them taste what it means to be miserable.

At that time, after learning that the Great Song army had advanced enough to communicate with birds, this Cheng Xianggong immediately revealed his identity to the county guard in Cao County, including the current situation that he had taken over the position of Wu County Commander. Then, he actually emphasized in a blood letter that if he unfortunately died and was martyred, he must ask the imperial court to thoroughly investigate whether he was killed by the enemy or died at the hands of the servant army.

It's all done in the open, and he's just doing it for everyone to see. In this way, even if someone has the courage to do so at this time, they will not dare to have the intention of assassination.

With such a powerful psychological deterrence, coupled with the reception of nearly 100 personal escorts from the former magistrate. Cheng Ju killed two border army commanders who had collided with the blade and were passively slacking off the battle with lightning speed, and suddenly the generals were shocked. And Cheng Ju finally achieved his goal: to control the situation in Sticky Cicada City in the shortest possible time.

After this contact, the Koreans understood that this time they had found a father for themselves. I can't beat it, I can't scold it, I have to play a little temper to prevent it from being done by him, it's completely self-helping. But every time I think of the family members who have already lived a landlord's life in the rear, everyone's hearts soften. In addition, he was even more reluctant to vote for the Jurchens. He demoted himself from a living "man" to the property (slave) of a savage, and everyone could only pinch their noses and follow Cheng Ju all the way to the dark.

When the military is settled, the refugees will be in a better position. Cheng Ju dug up all the grain and grass buried deep before Wu County's order left. First invited everyone to eat with an open belly, and then used the housekeeping skills of the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and moved it with a clever tongue to understand the reason, and the result really moved the people in the city. For a time, the city was repaired. Those who deliver meals will work as hard as they can. As a result, Cheng Ju, who felt that it was difficult to be warm, used the people's power to take the opportunity to transform the defense structure of the inner and outer cities.

Wait until everything is on track. When he was finally able to calm down and think about it, Cheng Ju was actually a little afraid. From the moment he woke up that night, he was gambling, and the bet was his own life, and he won or lost. The whole maintenance is based on the degree of reverence that these soldiers have for the imperial court.

He knew that he was a weak scholar, and in front of more than 4,000 defeated soldiers, he actually had no deterrent power at all. The key depends on the invisible power given to him by the motherland behind him, if Da Song's status in the hearts of these people, or the lack of deterrence, he will definitely not survive that night.

Fortunately, the motherland is still strong, and these people still have something to fear in their hearts. Fortunately, fate still favored him, and his brain disease did not worsen.

Judging by the current situation, the gamble is well worth it. At least the plate is still in his hands, and at this time, the sticky cicada county is still sticking to the "worms" fiercely.

"Such a savage beast, even knowing siege equipment, is terrifying! In the future, the threat will be far greater than that of the Khitans! At least, the Khitans are not good at attacking cities! ”

Cheng Ju, who walked down the city tower, couldn't help but sigh, and his tone of voice was like that of a border general. If it weren't for the fact that the pro-troops around him were all natives of Goryeo, he would still want to praise the imperial court, this time it was simply too strategic! This behemoth, who has always been slow in everything, actually preempted Buzi Goryeo this time. The rise of this group of barbarians under the city is destined to set off stormy waves in the north, and it is definitely better to prepare early than to be hasty and unprepared in the future.

"The Jurchens are our long-cherished enemies, and we have been fighting with them on the border for hundreds of years, watching them grow stronger step by step. Now the Khitans' Tokyo Road is gone, and all of them have become the spoils of the Jurchens, but unfortunately they are not satisfied, and the soldiers are pointing directly at our homeland! Xianggong, said that the Great Song Dynasty was the last...... Will you not give up our dependent people? ”

The brand soldier who personally protected Cheng Ju was originally a veteran in the Goryeo battalion of the Fanluo Army, and later made military exploits and was promoted to the deputy card in the army, and then was assigned to Wu County Commander as the head of the guard by chance. His group of guards is different from the border army, they are organized in the capital protection mansion, not Lelang County, and this group of people came down from the Fan Fall Army, not to mention the loyalty of each one, it can be called the Han army in the Goryeo army. When Cheng Ju asked them to act as executioners to arrest and kill the two Korean commanders, the group of guards did not blink. Therefore, Cheng Ju was able to control the situation in the shortest possible time, and their group contributed a lot.

Therefore, when Cheng Ju faced these loyal comrades-in-arms who stammered and spat Song language, who were born in Dongyi but belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, he was not only fluttering, but his heart was not tightened for no reason.

Although in that blank period of time, the Great Song Dynasty really had a vision, but he really didn't dare to guarantee whether it would be able to continue to maintain this level in the future. He was afraid, all this in front of him was just due to the whim of the emperor of the current dynasty. When the interest is gone, everything will follow.

"No, it won't! Don't worry, with me, the Jurchens won't be able to get in! ”

Although it was contrary to his restrained nature, in the face of his comrades-in-arms, Cheng Ju still said a cruel word, but the Korean army was convinced after hearing it. After all, the results of these seven days cannot be faked there, no matter what kind of offensive the Jurchens launch and what kind of siege equipment they use, this minister has a way to deal with it. Although he was rushed into the city by powerful enemies more than once, he still could not escape the fate of returning home before the temporary fortifications built by the Xianggong.

Facing the wistful eyes of his subordinates, Cheng Ju turned his head and asked, "Which of you understands the Jurchen language?" ”

"The last general will understand!" Seeing the question, the card army hurriedly replied.

"Let's go, we'll meet our captives!"

In the past seven days, the Jurchens attacked the city more and more fiercely, as long as this group of savages went to the city, they fought to the death, and it was rare to see anyone who went up to the city and then retreated. When Cheng Ju was almost about to believe that this group of people were all humanoid beasts, the veterans who had participated in the previous battles explained to him that if these people retreated, the consequences waiting for them would be their own butcher's knives.

So after a few days, the defenders caught a lot of prisoners, at this time Cheng Ju hurriedly walked to the place where the prisoners were held in the city, proposed that the prisoner was the leader, and said to the relatives and the army: "Translate to him, and ask them if the Jurchens know which country they are attacking now!" ”

"No need for a translator, I can understand you, Song people!" The unfazed captive leader spoke, but Cheng Ju was greatly surprised, it is not uncommon for the Jurchens to understand Goryeo and Khitan dialects, but how can they catch one at random and understand Song so coincidentally?

Cheng Ju's surprise was not unreasonable. After all, the two countries had basically not dealt with each other for the past 100 years, and naturally not many people learned each other's languages. It is clearly recorded that the last contact between the two sides was Lao Huang Li, who was sent to the Jurchen tribe to buy horses shortly after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and brought back Shi Wengong's old employer, the ancestors of the birdmen in Zengtou City.

Just when Cheng Ju secretly guessed whether this person was a Jurchen general or something, the captive leader spoke: "Don't guess, I'm just a nobody." What do you want to ask, just ask, for the sake of you and me, both have Han blood! ”

How can it be!!!

This barbarian with shaved head and braided hair actually calls himself a Han Chinese?! Cheng Ju couldn't believe such an unruly fact even after gouging out his eyes, but at this time, Gao Li's relatives beside him spoke, making him suspicious for a while.

"Although this person is as ugly as the Jurchen barbarian, but the barbarian naturally likes earlobe gold and silver, but this person's appearance is not like this, it is likely to be a Han of the Liao Kingdom, after descending to the Jurchens, he worked for them again!"

"Is what my retinue says true?" Cheng Ju asked with wide eyes, and seeing that the other party did not refute, he immediately said: "As a Han Chinese, you are a Han and a dynasty of Liao, and you have insulted your ancestors!" To this day, why not correct it and return to the Song Dynasty? ”

"You Song ministers just read too many books, and your mind is full of unrealistic! Wait for your Zhao Song officials to be worthy of their ancestors first, and then come to criticize us! The head of the captive sneered all over his face:

"I advise Your Excellency, don't help the Koreans play the Great Song brand everywhere. A broken flag, leaking wind everywhere, I feel very majestic! They Jurchens, every time they heard that the captured Goryeo people called themselves Song Jun, they laughed, and everyone said the same thing, who couldn't see that the caliber was unified in advance? It's not easy for you to think about it, pretending to be a Song Jun Jurchen is afraid? They have even crippled the brutal Khitans, are they still afraid of you Sven scum? It's not easy to cross the ocean, go back after two years of gold, or don't be a gun for the Koreans! (To be continued.) )
