Chapter 88: The Army

After reading the holy decree, all the generals were silent, and listened to Xu Xian's command of the army to get out of the way, and the three hundred Song troops did not dare to appear too elated in such a situation of mourning the soldiers, carrying the bodies of the two comrades who were shot to death, and followed Wu Qiao to the south and went out of the city from the south gate of Jinling.

The camp in the west of Shengzhou in the Great Song Dynasty deployed Cao Bin to supervise the battle all night, and he was sleeping soundly in the tent, but he heard that Cao Han, who broke into the city and did not know his life and death, actually returned safely, and the army was unharmed. And the Southern Tang monarchs and ministers actually descended under his intimidation!

Suddenly hearing this great letter, Cao Bin almost couldn't believe his ears, repeatedly confirmed the news to the military envoys sent by Cao Han in advance, and carefully considered that it was impossible for Tang Guo to deceive and falsify in this matter, so he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his chest, hurriedly put on his leather boots, and didn't care about his own soldiers putting on the brocade clothes given by Zhao Kuangyin for him, and led the generals to greet Cao Han outside the gate of the big camp.

Although there are many people among the Song generals who are jealous of Cao Han's great miraculous feats, Cao Hanwei is famous, bravely crowned the three armies and is a national relative, coupled with this extraordinary feat, I am afraid that the future is limitless. The generals say a word to me, as if Cao Han is the reincarnation of Wuqu Xing, and his exploits are directly chasing the white-clothed Han Huo Yan, who recovered the 200,000 Huns, and retreated from the former dynasty Guo Ziyi. This group of people only flattered Cao Han and left Cao Bin and Xu Xian aside.

Cao Bin and Xu Xian politely greeted each other, and after three days of discussion, Cai Yu will lead hundreds of officials and ministers to surrender outside the south gate, and see the generals in the tent surrounding Cao Han like the moon holding the moon, his face is cloudy, Xu Xian sees it in his eyes, and his heart is realized.

P.S. Regarding this incident of surrender due to accident, I don't know if the explanation is detailed enough, whether it will make readers and friends feel a little abrupt. The reason why this plot was designed was inspired by the Northern Song Dynasty when the Jin army was forced to land in Kaifeng, and the comparison of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty cannot be compared with the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty at this moment, but such a large country, under the persecution of a strong enemy, actually surrendered! And in an extremely dramatic way, so there is never a life with more ups and downs, or in other words, the best history is history itself.

By the way, at a certain time, we have been hotly discussing whether the black five minutes and black three minutes of Chinese football really reflect some kind of inferior roots? Why can't we fight until the last moment!

The battle of the Japanese occupation of Nanjing was not the same back then, the battle was fought much better, but suddenly collapsed. The fact that the most elite national army of modern China was slaughtered like this without dying on the battlefield is really more dramatic, but it is a tragedy, a national tragedy.

Although as a modern person, he has a natural affinity for the Song Dynasty, which has always been regarded as Zhengshuo, but Wu Yingying, who came to this era, was also deeply influenced by the Southern Tang Dynasty. In the eyes of the Southern Tang people, the Central Plains regime in the north pursued a tyranny of reckless military force, groveling to the outside world, and tyrannical expropriation at home. At this time, the southerners looked at the Northern Dynasties in the same way as the Northern Dynasties looked at the Khitan.

Because of this, Wu Yingying will do his best to fight for the Southern Tang Dynasty, who knew that after shedding so much blood, the Tang State actually surrendered in such a dramatic way, so that Wu Yingying, who is used to seeing legends, also has a serious sense of frustration in his heart, and even doubts his life goal. The so-called historical trend is a vast soup, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die. Since I know how to stage this script next, then I should stop doing boring things that compete with God, whether I should use my knowledge of history to quickly join Zhao Guangyi and be a minister of the dragon is far better than messing around in various feudal towns. Although Wang Yu's official position is not high, it seems that he is very appreciated by Zhao Guangyi, and his recommendation is an opportunity that others can't dream of.

He was thinking so badly in his head, and he didn't pay attention to when he was separated from Lu Jiang, Hu Ze and others, and walked down the street alone. At this time, the street was not very peaceful, but Wu Yingying wore a helmet and armor, hung a sharp blade at his waist, and two personal soldiers followed closely behind him.

Suddenly, there was a person in front of him, took his hand and asked loudly: "Brother Wu, why are you still wandering here?" Without him answering, he pulled up Wu Yingying's sleeve and pulled him aside, and said as he walked: "The right person Wu Xiangzi sent someone to Tongbing, and the prime minister has the idea of committing suicide and martyrdom, so I will persuade him as soon as possible." ”

Wu Yingying looked up and saw that it was Liu Yi, the superintendent who was familiar with him, and when he heard that Wu Qiao was going to commit suicide and martyrdom, Wu Yingying's head was excited, so he was involuntarily pulled by Liu Yi to Wu Qiao's mansion.

The Wu family is a family of eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River, the mansion covers a vast area, Wu Yingying since the Tang Dynasty, although Wu Qiao has been taken care of in many ways, but the civil and military affairs, in order to avoid the gossip of others, this is the first time to visit the Wu Mansion.

Liu Yi's family background is similar to that of the Wu family, it is the good of the family, it is Liu Yi who pulls the door, does not wait for the concierge to report and enters, stepping into the hall, Fang Jue The atmosphere is strange.

I saw Wu Qiao put on the prime minister's official uniform that was only on his body at the time of the Great Dynasty, with a jade belt around his waist, his feet on square shoes, and he was very Prime Minister Fengyi, sitting upright in the hall with a calm face, and the children of the Wu family lined up on both sides, one by one stepped forward to say goodbye, each with a sad complexion, and the family didn't seem to see Liu Yi come in.

Liu Yi didn't care about this, and shouted loudly: "Parents who suffer from the body, don't lose money, let alone your life, think twice!"

Wu Yingying also came to his senses, he had always respected Wu Qiao, and naturally he didn't want him to die like this, so he also persuaded and explained: "Although the building is tilted, for the sake of the people of Jiangnan and the favor of the Cai emperor, the prime minister should still be useful and deal with the Song people." ”

Wu Qiao raised his head and looked at the two of them, his face was calm, and he said slowly: "When the soldiers are in such chaos, the two of them came to dissuade Ziqiao regardless of the danger, and they are full of hospitality. After speaking, Zhengse instructed his family: "Liu Yushi and General Wu are righteous people, and if you encounter unknown things in the future, you must ask the two of you for advice." ”

Liu Yi heard that there was a meaning of support in his words, and said hurriedly: "Wu Xiang, death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than Hongmao, don't do this kind of light-hearted thing." ”

His words were actually faintly offensive, but Liu Yi was in a hurry to take care of it, and Wu Qiao might not blame him.

But Wu Qiao seemed to be aroused by him, and sighed: "You are right, death is heavier than Mount Tai, and some are lighter than feathers." Wu's family received the grace of the country, I have experienced two dynasties, and His Majesty of the two dynasties has the grace of knowing Qiao, but Qiao is immoral and incompetent, and the country is weakening day by day, but I can't do anything, seeing that the building is about to fall, I can only cry out in vain. is such a useless body, it is better to leave it behind, so that the world will know that my Datang is not a master who is immoral, a traitor died in the court, and there are loyal ministers. ”

Wu Yingying said on the side: "Prime Minister Wu, there is no immortal country in the world, why should the prime minister suffer so much!"

Liu Yi continued: "Does Wu Xiang really bear to abandon me is equal to the world?"

Wu Qiao couldn't help but be silent for a long time when he heard him say straightforwardly, and said in a low voice: "General Wu is a sincere person, and I won't deceive you." When the famous general Lin Zhaoren was there, the Song people could not go south and murdered with counterplots, the old man knew that he was innocent, but he could not say that His Majesty would save Lin Huzi's life, as the prime minister, he could not protect the pillars of the country, and the old man should die. As the prime minister, Emperor Meng and His Majesty believe in each other, and all major national affairs are discussed with me, but the situation cannot be improved. His Majesty has the idea of self-immolation and martyrdom, and the old man cannot advise the king to surrender his life to the prisoner, and he must not live up to the entrustment of the first emperor to be alone, and the three should die. ”

After talking about the barriers that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time, Wu Qiao's seemed to let go of his burden, and said warmly: "You two are both rare talents, but unfortunately the building is about to collapse, and the old man can no longer carry you to do your best for Jiangnan." ”

He glanced at Liu Yi with some regret, the Northern Dynasty army was in charge of the country, and Zhao Pu also made a joke about taking the wrong country name, and Tian shamelessly called himself "half of the Analects to rule the world". Although it is known as giving preferential treatment to literati, the superiors are all rude people, how can someone really appreciate a literary talent like Liu Yi, this person is afraid that his life will be buried.

When he saw Wu Yingying, his eyes were complicated, he hesitated for a while, and said: "General Wu, I see the general trend of the world, after the Northern Dynasty swallows up the south of the Yangtze River, when the army is used in the north, it is either the Northern Han or the Khitan." It was the time when the warriors were emerging to prominence, and a few days ago I heard rumors that the Lord of Song had also praised the courage of the general and was not under the second general Cao Pan. If the general returns to the Song Dynasty, he should have a good future, but he must be careful when interacting with us and other former ministers in Jiangnan, and do not fall into the truth of others. ”

Wu Yingying saw that he blamed himself deeply, but he did not force others to be martyred, and told himself that he had the demeanor of respecting the elders and entrusting him to care for his younger generations, and he couldn't help but feel slightly sour in his nose, and the thoughts in his mind turned, and said: "Although the Lord descended to the Song Dynasty, if the Lord of Song wants to investigate Jiangnan's crime of disobeying the Son of Heaven, if there is no prime minister to bear it, wouldn't His Majesty have suffered it?" The implication is that Wu Qiao wants to survive, and take all the responsibility for Jiangnan's disobedience to the Great Song Dynasty on his body, and free Cai Yu.

Wu Qiao listened to his words, thoughtfully, and smiled for a while: "General Wu is scheming, but it is all out of the idea of protecting Zi Qiao, and I thank you again." I see that the Lord has a deep desire to be martyred, and there is no need for me to live in the world. ”
