Chapter 31, the Divine Soldier Descends to Xiangzhou City (middle)

When the floating castle "Third New Tokyo" approached in the wind, the Song army stationed in Xiangzhou did not notice the arrival of this strange guest at all.

The twilight sun casts on the ancient city walls, reflecting a dappled halo. Smoke wafts over the city, revealing a sense of tranquility and serenity. Xiangzhou City in the twilight is so quiet and peaceful, and there are not many traces of the cruelty of war.

-- Although the continuous wars between the Jin and Song states had caused terrible damage to the rich countryside of Hebei, the Jin army drove straight into the south every time it went south, and never stuck to the contention of one city and one place, so the largest cities in the Hebei prefectures, as long as they were not on the attack route of the Jin army, were basically intact for the time being, although in the mouths of the Bianliang court lords and the Paishi doctors, these places were already regarded as occupied areas.

Therefore, many of the Song soldiers stationed in Xiangzhou have not really seen the Jin soldiers until now, and their combat effectiveness and discipline cannot be counted on...... The soldiers at the head of the city, though still standing guard, were basically already whispering or dozing off.

On the upper floor of the South Gate of Xiangzhou, several forbidden soldiers wearing light paper armor and holding spears chatted with each other while rubbing their hands in the cold wind, and no one noticed the floating castle at the end of the sky - the floating city was still too far away at this time, and it was just an inconspicuous small black dot from the top of the city. And limited to the knowledge of the people of the Song Dynasty, they could not imagine that someone would come from the sky.

“…… Alas, Old Man Zhang slipped away and ran to Widow Liu's shop below to have fun, so that we can blow the cold wind here and suffer......"

“…… What's the solution, who made that guy's niece a concubine of Captain Wang...... Erhu, leave me a sip of wine! Hiccup~~ This ghost weather, I really can't stand it without taking a few sips, and the cold has penetrated into my bones...... It's a shame that it's so loose here......"

“…… Hehe, I see that in addition to drinking, you kid must want to find a woman to have fun, right? Anyway, Lao Tzu hasn't been to Yihong Courtyard for almost a month, I don't know how the little peach girl is now, and whether the words in the skirt are more loose......"

Seeing that the time for the shift change was approaching, the guards gathered in several circles on the city wall, drank and chatted idly, and after a few sips of wine, they began to complain casually about the recent troubles, and then the topic gradually shifted to women, and all kinds of meat jokes and yellow jokes were endless, making the atmosphere more and more enthusiastic...... Although everyone still kept their voices down to prevent the conversation from being heard by someone who shouldn't have heard it, the atmosphere had indeed been stirred up. And some people who shouldn't have heard it have actually heard it......

Looking at these forgetful guys, Yue Fei, the head of the Ma army who had just been punished and was sent to patrol the city, had to shake his head helplessly and melancholy, and then turned to look at the snow-covered wilderness outside the city wall, and exhaled a large white wet mist.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the slackness of his colleagues, Yue Fei also knew that there was also a reason why they were so fearless and openly slipped away from their posts -- the main force of more than 100,000 Jin soldiers was wiped out under Bianliang City, so that the Jin soldiers who invaded the Song Realm were almost empty, and the last remaining field army of the Jurchens was still thousands of miles away in the territory of Jiuliao and Yanjing, and it was impossible to fight Xiangzhou in a short time.

Therefore, although there are constant wars in Hebei at present, in fact, it is all Song people who are killing Song people, and there are almost no Jurchen Tartars. The small "rebels", or rogues, who were active in the wilderness, dared to exert their might in villages and towns that lacked defense, and occasionally robbed the baggage convoys of the Jin and Song armies. But Xiangzhou City, which has tens of thousands of armor soldiers, has no thief who dares to offend at all.

Since Xiangzhou is safe and worry-free, the defenders who have been nervous for a long time have naturally slackened off greatly. Now they are still being forced by their boss to defend the city wall in the wind and snow, which has already made their boss dissatisfied. If you still have to be as strict as in wartime, you will be punished harshly...... Believe it or not, we haven't tattooed the words on our faces yet, so we will roll up our luggage and go home, and we won't serve you big men?

In the Great Song Dynasty, which was extremely heavy on literature and light on martial arts, unless there was really no way, what seven-foot man would be willing to be a soldier on a low will?

After sighing at the absurdity of his colleagues, Yue Fei recalled his ups and downs for a while.

He is a native of Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, originally a Zhuang Ding of the Han family in Xiangzhou, who has been farming for generations, has a humble identity, and has never had any great characters in the past. But Yue Fei has been gifted since he was a child, his divine power is amazing, he can open a three-hundred-pound bow, a crossbow of eight stones, and he studied under the famous archer Zhou Tongmen, he can open the bow left and right, and the arrows are not empty, so in order not to waste his talent, he wants to join the army to serve the country and make a name for himself on the battlefield.

However, Yue Fei's road to the army was not smooth, counting this time, he has joined the army three times, and he has no choice but to go home twice before and after - the first time is that his unit was reduced and dismissed, and Yue Fei, as a recruit, had to be demobilized and go home; The second time was when the army garrison was captured by the Jin army, and he fought his way out of the siege in a state of chaos, and finally escaped back to his hometown in Tangyin. Later, someone recruited troops in Xiangzhou, and Yue Fei was already disheartened and wanted to die in his hometown. But his old mother strongly persuaded him to try again, and tattooed the words "loyal to the country" on his back, which was a compliment.

This time, Yue Fei's luck seemed to have improved slightly: as soon as he joined the army, he was valued by the commander because of his magic marksmanship, and was selected into the cavalry unit with a relatively respected status, and he was also mixed with a small official position of "capital head". But before he could find any opportunity to show his martial arts, his troops drove into Xiangzhou to accept the reorganization of the Generalissimo Mansion of Hebei Soldiers and Horses, and Yue Fei's top boss was also replaced...... It didn't take long for Yue Fei, who had an upright personality, to be pushed to the city wall to blow the cold wind because of his disrespectful remarks and contradicting his new boss.

Such a humiliating punishment certainly made Ma Jun's colleagues laugh. But although Yue Fei is not very old, he has encountered a lot of ups and downs over the years, and his mind has already been polished to be very calm, so he doesn't care about it and is calm.

What really worries him at the moment is the next step of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered in Xiangzhou.

-- Although it is hard to believe, the Jin soldiers who went south to the Central Plains have indeed been wiped out on the outskirts of Bianliang. However, the Generalissimo of Hebei, which has completed its mission, seems to be unwilling to withdraw from the historical stage, but is more active in recruiting troops and horses, expanding its strength, and faintly separating one side. But as long as anyone with a little insight can see it: no matter which emperor is sitting in the Bianliang Palace, he will not allow such a large feudal town with tens of thousands of troops and thousands of miles of jurisdiction in Xiangzhou, which is close to the Beijing division and across the river.

Not to mention that the person in charge of this feudal town is still a prince of the royal family, so he naturally has a certain legal rationality for succession!

If there is any more collusion with the same party in the palace, then it will immediately become the biggest threat to the throne of the Great Song Dynasty!

Therefore, in order to deal with the suspicion and possible reduction of the feudal domain on the Bianliang side, some of the latest military strategies introduced by the Xiangzhou side, such as sending ranger sentinels, setting up beacon towers, etc., are also obviously on guard against the Bianjing court in the south, rather than the Jurchens entrenched in the north - although King Kang Zhao Gou and his henchmen still shouted the slogan of anti-Jin, they could not stand the many discerning people in this world who could see the situation clearly.

In fact, within the armies stationed in Xiangzhou, there has long been an undercurrent surging and there are many discussions these days. Many people have noses and eyes behind their backs, and swear that King Kang will cross the river to attack Bianliang in the name of "incompetent humiliation of the country, and imprisonment of his father is not filial", and usurped the throne by force!

Well, in the past, it seems that someone said the big truth that "the Son of Heaven, the strong man should do it". But the problem is that it is no longer the five generations of troubled times that the emperor has taken turns to do, and all kinds of monarchs and ministers have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if King Kang really has the crooked idea of usurping the throne by force, then he will not only have to bear the infamy of the world, but also make the world the enemy of a corner of the world - no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of victory!

At the moment, although Yue Fei was a little reluctant to get the position of the head of the Ma army, he still secretly made up his mind, if King Kang really wanted to risk the disapproval of the world and usurp the throne in Xiangzhou, then he would definitely not covet any merit from the dragon, but would think of a way to desert and slip away, otherwise he would be sorry for the four big characters of "loyal to the country" that his mother tattooed on his back - although his Tangyin Yue family has been humble for generations, it is also a clean white family, even if he can't produce a big man, he can't be a traitor!

It's just that...... The third time in his life, is it going to end like this?

There is really no way to serve the country, and he wasted his painstaking martial arts in vain!

Thinking of this, Yue Fei couldn't help but sigh faintly, and at the same time accidentally turned his head to look into the air.

Then, as if he had seen Medusa's eyes, his whole being was "petrified".

Oh my God! What did he see?!

A castle, a majestic castle with a golden appearance, is approaching Sangshu Castle from the sky!!
