Chapter 588: Repeatedly embarrassed people's hearts
On the third day of the capture of Tongwei by the Song army, the Song and Wen sides launched offensives against Dingxi and Linxia respectively.
Even though Emperor Wanyan was repeatedly brave, in the face of the strong forces of the Song Dynasty and Wenbang, he still had no choice but to give up Linxia and Dingxi, and led all the troops to retreat into Lanzhou City.
The armies of the Song Dynasty and Wenbang took advantage of the situation and stationed themselves in two cities, one on the left and the other on the right, clamping Lanzhou City, cutting off all retreats of the other side except to the north.
The next day, Wen Bang received a letter from Chu Yangge asking for a meeting, so he took Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai, Zou Buyi, Cai Xudong, Li Huan, and Xi Shi as representatives, plus Zhang Ziqiang, and Song Jun's high-level leaders met outside Yuzhong City.
In addition to Chu Yangge's Yanggu Army, Yuhu Hou Zuohusong, Longyang Hou Longwu's Tiger Army and Liehong Army, Hengshan Hou Wang Yuxiang and Southern Expedition Hou Xin Qiji each brought an elite guard, as well as dozens of soldiers and horses from large and small military towns.
In this meeting, in addition to Chu Madge, Chu Madyi, Chu Madmou, Chu Madzheng, the four high-ranking Yanggu Army leaders and Zuo Husong and other four first-class military marquis, there were also the supervisors sent by the imperial court, the military department waiter Guan Ji, and the household department waiter Chen Yixiu.
In comparison, Wenbang's side is dwarfed, only Xi Shi is a Seven Realms, Xu Xuanrong, Song Kai, Zou Buyi, Cai Xudong, and Li Huan are only the first level of the Six Realms, and the only Zhang Ziqiang who is a high-level Six Realms is still a member of the Yanggu Army.
Yuzhong City is one of the acropolis of Lanzhou, but with the large-scale pressure of the Song and Wen coalition forces, Emperor Wanyan and others directly abandoned the city and gathered all the heavy troops into Lanzhou, so today's Yuzhong is an empty city.
When Xu Xuanrong and the others arrived, they saw that a huge tent had been erected outside Yuzhong City, and hundreds of guards with terrifying spirits and steel guns outside the tent stood in three circles of defense, occupying all the areas outside the tent.
Seeing the arrival of the people in Wenbang, the four nearest gunmen immediately stepped forward to stop them, and one of them said with a cold face: "This is the important place of my Great Song Dynasty military aircraft, and the idle people are waiting to approach?"
The rest of the people didn't say anything or think much when they heard this, Song Kai had already sneered: "Since Shangguo thinks that my Wenbang is an idle person, then Lanzhou City will bother Shangguo to attack it by itself, let's go." ”
Xu Xuanrong, Zou Buyi, and Xi Shi all smiled faintly after hearing this, and turned around with Song Kai and left, Cai Xudong and Li Huan reacted half a beat slowly, but they didn't think much about it, and quickly followed to leave.
"Stop!" Everyone had just turned around and walked a few steps, when the curtain of the big tent suddenly opened without wind, and a middle-aged man with a long beard, wearing a purple official robe, and a fish bag around his waist walked out quickly, and said sharply, "Er Wenbang is so bold, don't you want to escape from the battle?" Or did you collude with the Jin Kingdom and want to murder my Shangguo army?"
"Escape from the battle?" Song Kai turned his head and sneered, "Dare to ask where the formation is? Where is the enemy? Is there an enemy army within a radius of 100 miles? If there is, please point it out, if not, can you close your beak!"
The civil official didn't understand the meaning of "bird's beak", but he also heard his sarcasm, and he didn't feel angry and laughed, and laughed angrily: "I have heard for a long time that the Wen State from the king of Wen to the common people don't understand what etiquette is, don't understand the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, don't respect Confucian justice, and vainly respect his family's pseudo-learning. ”
"Confucian justice?" Zou Buyi smiled slightly, and sneered, "Zou really didn't see it, where is Confucian justice? Is it the heroic righteousness that has accumulated for thousands of years? Or are it corrupt officials and corrupt officials who wantonly embezzle and corrupt people all over the prefectures and counties of the Great Song Dynasty? Or are they shameless people who collude with incompetent people and rob others of their inheritance?"
"Presumptuous!" The middle-aged civil official's face turned purple, and he said angrily, "What a coward, dare to insult my Confucian!" Before the words fell, he had already waved his sleeves, and a pure white Haoran Zheng Qi Pillar above his head rushed up, turning into a huge coercion and swept over.
Zou Buyi sneered when he saw this, and he didn't see him move, and a surging momentum swelled out of his body, instantly blocking the coercion, not to mention, and even pushing it back, rolling upside down and rolling towards the person.
"You dare!"
Seeing that the middle-aged civil official was about to be defeated and frustrated, there was a mighty righteous qi gushing out of the tent, merging with the former's qi, and brazenly crashing into the momentum released by Zou Buyi.
The three of them collided together, directly blasting out a huge pit, Zou Buyi took two steps back, his cheeks were a little bloody, but he was always lazy and contemptuous, but he looked extremely arrogant at the moment, and sneered: "The dignified soldier and the two servants of the household actually joined forces to deal with one of my juniors, do you really not know where your face grows?"
The three of them fought quickly and ended quickly, Cai Xudong didn't have time to intervene, and when he heard this, he laughed directly, stroked his palm, and said: "For them, probably their skin is on their buttocks." ”
In the previous confrontation, the middle-aged civil official was also shocked back by half a step, and at this moment, he was furious when he heard the words, and said sharply: "What a vicious tongue, will the courtiers of Er Dawen only fiddle with such tongues?"
Song Kai rolled up his sleeves and said lightly: "You two squires are just on a par with our four-grade young eunuch Si Tian, who is fiddling with tongues?"
If it is reasonable and arguing, maybe this middle-aged civil official does not have many problems, but this kind of bickering and ridicule, whether it is Song Kai or Cai Xudong, they are all old fritters who have been mixed in the forum for many years in later generations, so where can such an old-fashioned civil official of the Great Song Dynasty be an opponent, he was suddenly trembling with anger, but he couldn't say a word.
At this time, because of the previous conflict between the two sides, a large number of gunmen had surrounded them, and the steel spears with the true qi of the four realms were all pointed at the people of Wenbang.
The middle-aged civil official smiled when he saw this, and said with a smug face: "Come on, take them down for me!"
Cai Xudong and Li Huan hurriedly condensed their vigilance when they heard this, but what was funny was that after the civil official finished speaking for a few breaths, the gunmen around him were still quiet, just holding guns and pointing at the people in Wenbang, and suddenly the civil official's face was difficult to see.
"Oh, why don't you listen to you?" Li Huan glanced around, and threw a wink with a smile, the peerless beauty of the city made the eyes of the surrounding spearmen change slightly, and also made the civil official's face even more pale.
With a bang, another purple-robed fishbag official walked out of the tent, glanced around, and shouted, "Don't do it yet?"
"Lord Guan, Lord Chen, I am acting in the army, so I don't need to listen to the orders of the two, right?"
Seeing their domineering appearance, among the many spearmen around, a middle-aged general said coldly.
Hearing the general's words, Xu Xuanrong, Zhang Ziqiang and the others who knew them all had a slightly pale face.
Divine Army!
On the eve of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, if it weren't for the mediocrity of the Song Emperor at that time, these elites who had guarded the palace for many years were sent out, resulting in the Golden Vulture taking the opportunity to break through the palace, and it was still unknown whether the Northern Song Dynasty would perish.
The two civil officials changed color when they heard this, but before they could speak, a deep voice in the tent had slowly sounded: "Okay, come in." ”
Hearing the man speak, the two prison guards sent by the imperial court had extremely ugly faces, as if they had eaten a dead mouse, gritted their teeth and turned back to the big tent, and then an armored military general walked out, it was Chu Crazy Yi, who had a relationship with Yao Ruoyu and others in Chongqing.
Looking at the people who were still full of vigilance, Chu Yanyi smiled and said, "Some people are not sensible, don't be surprised, come in quickly and discuss important matters." ”
Seeing him say this, Xu Xuanrong immediately smiled and arched his hand: "Huh." ”
Then everyone followed Chu Madyi into the account in turn, and saw Chu Madge and Yue Pengju standing side by side at the top of the handsome tent, Zuo Husong and other four first-grade military marquis standing on the left side, the two civil officials from before were standing on the right side, and there were more than ten military generals who were obviously strong men of the Six Realms Sect Shuai, standing behind both sides.
"I've seen two marshals, generals. Xu Xuanrong led everyone to the second king of Chu Yue and bowed, but the two servants who were the prisoners on the right hand side were missing, and suddenly the expressions of the two people sank again.
Glancing at the two of them amusedly, Yue Peng raised his hand and said, "You're welcome." ”
Chu Yangge looked at everyone and frowned, "Why didn't King Wen come?"
Zhang Ziqiang hugged his fists and replied, "Father, King Wen went to retreat a few days ago because he suddenly had an understanding. ”
"How crucial is this battle, it is a critical moment for the destruction of Dajin, why is King Wen so casual, saying that retreat will be retreated, is it possible that some people can't see Dajin defeated?"
With a yin and yang sneer, the civil official who was the first to come out of the account said coldly.
Zuo Husong frowned, this time Song and Wen jointly attacked Dajin, although Wen Bang was only rubbing the side strategically, but in fact, their contribution to this battle was definitely not small.
Not to mention the capture of the Jin State in the cities south of Lanzhou, that is, the elimination of the reinforcements of Xining Dao, is a great achievement, it can be said that compared with the Song Dynasty's record in capturing Shaanxi, Wenbang's contribution is not inferior.
As a military general, the most annoying thing is that meritorious officials are targeted, especially at this moment, the completely brainless approach of this civil official is even more annoying, so whether it is Zuo Husong or the rest of the military marquis, they all frowned.
It's just that although the Song Dynasty in this world is different from the Song Dynasty in the history of the world to which Yao Ruoyu belongs, the prison army is a messenger sent by the imperial court, even if Zuo Husong and the others are princely powerhouses of the Seven Realms, they don't want to offend the two prison soldiers at this time, otherwise it is disrespectful to the court if they are small, and they are despising the Son of Heaven if they are big.
Why was the Purple Flame Qi Army wiped out more than ten years ago? Several of their military marquis knew a little bit about the inside story.
At this moment, the only people in the tent who are qualified to refute the two prison guards are Chu Yangge and Yue Pengju, not because of their status as a border marshal, but because of the strength of the Eight Realms Emperor Venerable powerhouse.
Eight Realms! That is really a direct basis for the gold medal to avoid death!
Just looking at the expressions of the two of them smiling and not speaking, it is obvious that they have no intention of speaking.
Seeing the expressions of the others in the tent, Xu Xuanrong and the others sank, since they arrived at the scene and were blocked by the Shence Army, they could feel the Song Dynasty's suppression of Wenbang everywhere, maybe Zuo Husong and other generals did not participate, but only the meaning of the two prison soldiers, but as the supervisors of the imperial court, their meaning is more or less the meaning of the imperial court.
Therefore, did the Great Song Dynasty begin to be jealous of Wenbang's growing strength and planned to suppress them?
I can't help Song Kai and others think so, Wen Bang, who only occupied a place in Hezhou back then, can also be said to be a small force that Emperor Song listened to the game words of Chu Crazy Song and casually gave it, but now it is located in Sichuan and Ganzi, and has just occupied a large area of land south of Lanzhou.
Seeing that because of the middle-aged civil official's words, the atmosphere inside the tent suddenly became solemn, and a loud laugh full of coldness suddenly sounded outside the tent: "It is a big deal for Song Wen to join forces to destroy Dajin, but why are some people so bold and reckless, not wanting to unite the people and unite as one, and even openly sow discord and try to disturb the morale of the army?
The middle-aged civil beard trembled, and said angrily: "Who is outside the tent? Shence Army, how dare you let others approach the military tent at will? What if it is an assassin? You should all be beheaded according to military law!"
With a bang, the curtain was lifted, and a young man strode in, glanced at everyone in the tent, suddenly looked at the middle-aged civil official, and sneered: "Dawen, Yao Ruoyu." ”
