Chapter 193: The Man on the Iron Throne
The situation can be said to have taken a turn for the worse because the refugees ......
In fact, it is called the Yisheng Army, during Wang Yue's rebellion in the capital, because the Jurchens quickly seized the Xijing area, the original old Liao general Geng Shouzhong led a large number of routs to flee south, and was accepted by the Song Dynasty, and then he was responsible for recruiting those refugees to form a corps similar to the Changsheng Army.
The purpose is to counterbalance the victorious army.
They were mainly stationed in the area of the Xin Dynasty in northern Jin, and were governed by pacification envoys along the border, and they were also under the command of the Xuanfu Division of Hedong and Hebei, and defended the Jurchens together with the Song army in Hedong, but the officials and soldiers of the Song Dynasty regarded these Han people in the back of the mountain as Hulu. After all, these people have belonged to the Liao State for two hundred years, and such a long time has already completely separated them from their compatriots in the south, and in this case, there is constant friction between them, and the imperial court's supply for them cannot be sufficient.
It's a given.
The final result was that these people did not hesitate to choose to be the leading party when they saw the Jurchens going south.
Of course, they are originally some milk and mothers.
Wang Yue's subordinates were actually the same, but the problem was that his supplies were sufficient, and his methods were brutal, and the methods of killing were always so fresh and refined, and in the end, he was able to control the refugees under his command.
That's how it is for refugees.
Fear of power can be Huaide.
Da Song Wei is not worthy of fear, and his virtue is not enough to be cherished by others, so he is naturally a betrayed goods.
In the end, Geng Shouzhong led the Yisheng Army into a Jurchen leading party, and drove straight into the army led by Sticky Han.
And the magistrates and generals of the Great Song Dynasty showed their essence very well.
They're just a bunch of pigs.
In the entire war in the north of Jin, except for the insignificant resistance of Shi Kang and Li Ji, the rest was all about fleeing and surrendering, and the fact that the governor of Xinzhou opened the door and put on a guard of honor to welcome the surrender completely tore off the last fig leaf of the Great Song Dynasty. The Jurchen Iron Cavalry, who was stunned by these magical opponents, was completely like a carnival, and under the leadership of the leading party, they drove straight in, and surrounded Taiyuan City in the blink of an eye.
As for Master Tong's escape......
There is nothing to blame for this, he just stayed to fight for a heroic reputation, but in fact, it is not good for the overall situation of this war.
He's more appropriate outside.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu also used the 5,000 Shengjie army abandoned by Tong Taishi to quickly deploy defenses in Taiyuan, and then finally contained the Jurchen army, so now the fate of the Great Song Dynasty, like the original history, pinned their hopes on this lonely city. Fortunately, this time is still different from the original history, this time the Jurchens are not two ways at the same time, and the most lethal Jurchen Eastern Route Army in the original history does not exist this time. But this time there is also a more disadvantageous point for the Song army, that is, Aguta personally commanded the army, and the strength far exceeded the Western Route Army that was originally in history.
So Kaifeng may not be too dangerous, but the Taiyuan battlefield is even more difficult to fight.
50,000 Jurchen cavalry.
Coupled with the current rumor that has skyrocketed to more than 50,000 servant troops.
"It's embarrassing!"
Wang Yue sighed speechlessly.
At this moment, he was sitting in a special carriage, proudly driving over the Baigou Bridge that he had destroyed, but the bridge had already been repaired, and the Baigou and the surrounding vast water network swamp in the cold winter were completely frozen, and as far as the eye could see, a dry reed color, only the middle road, a heavy armored army was waiting.
Soldiers in full armor held their bows behind the shield wall.
The head general looked at him with a wary gaze in front.
"Relax, I'm not here to attack the city, but it was because of me that you were appreciated by the Grand Master."
Wang Yue said.
Well, on the other side is Zhang Jun.
"Duke Yan, the last general will be waiting here for Taishi Jun, Taishi Jun's order, please go back, the court will have its own punishment for matters in the south, no need for Yan Gong to worry about it, Yan Gong can guard Yanshan Mansion."
Zhang Jun saluted and said.
Wang Yue's carriage then stopped in front of him.
This is a four-wheeled carriage that he made himself, and the road conditions on the northern plains are still more suitable for this kind of carriage, and he is not short of horses, he even needs four horses, and in order to show off, he specially chose four very ostentatious white horses. And there is only one exaggerated throne on the whole carriage, this throne is completely modeled after the Iron Throne, but it is actually a wooden shelf inside, that is, there are a bunch of swords on the outside, but it is still enough to bluff people.
"What if I have to go to Xiongzhou?"
Wang Yue turned his head and looked at him condescendingly and said.
"Yan Gong, please don't embarrass the last general, the last general is just acting on orders, you make it difficult for the last general to do this!"
Zhang Jun said in a low voice.
After speaking, he looked at Wang Yue's Iron Throne with a melancholy face, probably because he was thundered by his aesthetics.
But the next moment Wang Yue suddenly pounced, Zhang Jun reacted extremely quickly, and did not hesitate to dodge to the side, but he dodged Wang Yue's Mount Tai pressure, but did not dodge Wang Yue's outstretched arm, the latter's right hand appeared on his neck as if he had been waiting for a long time, and instantly pressed him down in the frozen dirt behind him.
The soldiers screamed in fright, and the Divine Arm Bow in their hands quickly took aim......
"It's hard for you to do it, it's not difficult to do my, I can go wherever I want, what kind of thing do you dare to stop?"
Wang Yue scolded Zhang Jun.
Then while scolding, he repeatedly lifted and pressed on the ground.
Poor Zhang Jun struggled and screamed, powerless to resist in his hands.
The soldiers trembled and raised their bows, but they didn't dare to shoot arrows, just watched their general being thrown by Wang Yue like a monkey in the hands of a gorilla.
Then Wang Yue finally stopped.
He stretched out like a bad guy who had finished venting, and kicked the hapless Zhang Jun.
"Let's go!"
He said.
At the same moment he leaped to his feet and sat back on his throne.
The carriage continued to move forward, the soldiers looked at each other, and then the horse's head came to their shield wall, Wang Yue's eyes immediately widened, and the soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly separated to the sides, and then watched his carriage drive proudly in the middle, and then behind it was the guards led by Yang Zaixing, they continued to move forward in this way with Yan Guogong, Taiwei, Yanshan Fu Road pacification envoy and other honor guards.
Zhang Jun's lieutenant hurried to help their general, who waved his hand with a wry smile to signal that he was fine......
"This Wang Yue is really overbearing."
The lieutenant said indignantly.
"You don't understand, it's best!"
Zhang Jun said in a low voice.
Of course, their words were all heard by Wang Yue.
Obviously, a smart person like Zhang Jun had expected that he would be beaten, but being beaten was exactly what he wanted, and Wang Yue had no right to really stop him if he wanted to force it through, and he couldn't stop it, but he could not stop it, but he could let his boss see his efforts when he was beaten, and then those civil officials who hated Wang Yue extremely hated Wang Yue, in order to exaggerate Wang Yue's arrogance, would deliberately exaggerate this matter.
In the end, in order to comfort him, the imperial court would give him a further promotion, so as to encourage these generals to continue to hate Wang Yue.
These are smart people.
Poor Zhang Jun, who has been a soldier for eleven years, has finally opened the Feihuang Tengda mode this year, first because of the battle of Baigou was appreciated by Tong Taishi, and now he is now a general of the first army, and after being beaten again, it is estimated that the command is already beckoning to him. I have to say that the famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty also took great pains to get promoted and make a fortune, so their officials were promoted so slowly, and Yang Taiwei, who had gone from Bai Ding to Taiwei in half a year, was on the Iron Throne, looking proudly at Xiongzhou City in the distance.
The thirty-mile road was completed in a short time.
"Look, do you want to be beaten too?"
Wang Yue looked at Wang Yuan who came out to greet him and said.
"I'm this old, are you embarrassed to do it? Please, Captain Yang! ”
Wang Yuan said gloomily.
After saying that, he made a gesture of please, and then looked at Zhang Jun, who was carried back behind.
Wang Yue waved his hand in satisfaction, and then his carriage drove into Xiongzhou, the city was also in chaos, full of generals and their subordinates who had been ordered to come, and after running back from Taiyuan, Tong Taishi immediately gave the order to assemble the various departments. Originally, they were scattered and stationed at various passes of the Great Wall of Water to guard Wang Yue, and in the next Jurchen attack on Yanshan Mansion, to ensure that the war would not spread to Hebei's various armies, now they ran over in chaos and prepared to save Taiyuan.
"The official family should already know the news, right?"
Wang Yue asked Wang Yuan with a gloating expression.
"The status of the last general is low, where can I know this, the high position of the captain should be clearer than what the last general knows."
Wang Yuan said.
"Haha, he should already know!"
Wang Yue said with a smile.
Wang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Then the two stopped outside the gate of Xuanfu Division, and then Wang Yue jumped out of the carriage, just as Li Xiaozhong followed the seed master and looked at him and the Iron Throne in amazement.
"Brother Shaoyan, take my brothers to find a place to drink!"
Wang Yue shouted at him.
The seed master silently signaled to Li Xiaozhong, the latter hurriedly walked over, saluted Wang Yue with complicated eyes, and then took Yang Zaixing and the others to find a place to rest, the seed master looked at Wang Yue with interest, and reached out to touch the swords on the Iron Throne, and even tried to pull out one of them, but found that he couldn't pull it out, so he gave up, and then he turned his head to look at Wang Yue......
"Aren't you afraid that when an order is given inside, the swords and axes will come out together?"
The old man asked.
"Ha, I regard the Taishi as a respected elder, how can I doubt the reason of the Taishi, Duan Rugong, are you trying to separate me from the relationship with the Taishi?"
Wang Yue said.
Of course he wasn't afraid, he was now heavily armoured, and he really couldn't be cut by a knife and axe.
The seed master smiled with a deep expression, and then the two walked into it together, and then went straight to the main hall, after entering the main hall, Wang Yue's acting skills exploded instantly, and he saw him howl sadly, and in the stunned eyes of a group of civil and military generals inside, he suddenly pounced on Master Tong as if he was pounced on his father......
"Taishi, seeing that Taishi is fine, Yue can finally rest assured!"
