"Wang Chongyang!"

Xiao Ming almost didn't jump when he heard this! Wang Shu looked at Xiao Ming puzzled, and he asked, "Does the Taishi know this person?" ”

Xiao Ming settled down, looked at Wang Shu and said: "I know this person, he is the future head of the Quanzhen Sect, and he has scattered all his family wealth in order to resist gold, so he can be said to be a strange person!" He is also a man of enlightenment! ”

Wang Shu said: "Taishi's words are exaggerated, as far as I know, the Huanglong real person of the Quanzhen Sect has traveled all over the world without a trace, but the Quanzhen Sect also has a Wang Zhe Taoist in charge, the Taoist name Guangyangzi, it doesn't seem to be this Wang Chongyang, right?" ”

Xiao Ming smiled and said: "Lord Wang is also so familiar with the Quanzhen Sect, that Guangyang Zi Dao Elder is Wang Chongyang's master, Huanglong Zhenren has already sat down, and Wang Zhe Dao Chang and his junior brother have wandered away, I may see the old man today!" Turning to Gu Xiaoliu and said, "You go and pick it up, please hurry up."

Xiao Ming's judgment was correct, he really saw the old man, this old man was none other than Gongsun Sheng, who followed a Qingdao Taoist Gongsun Sheng to learn the Tao, and now the Taoist name is "Ming Kongzi" Bai San! Because Gu Xiaoliu outside had already screamed!

"White three! How could it be you! ”

Then Gu Xiaoliu led a group of people into the big tent of the Chinese army, the first one was dressed in a Taoist robe, his face was like a heavy jujube with three long beards, phoenix eyes and nose, not angry and arrogant, but there was a smell of dust, and there were some people behind him, one of them was Xiao Ming's original guard Bai San, now called Kong Mingzi, he had changed to a Taoist dress.

Kong Mingzi stepped forward to salute, bowed deeply to Xiao Ming, and said, "The lord has always been good!" ”

Xiao Ming said with a smile on his face: "Okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?" ”

Kong Mingzi said: "It's been a few years since I saw him, and the lord has lost a lot!" ”

Gu Xiaoliu's eyes flashed and looked at Bai San, wanting to talk about the past, but without Xiao Ming's permission, he didn't dare to take the initiative to talk, Xiao Ming said to Bai San: "This is Chongyang Zhenren, right?" ”

Ming Kongzi hurriedly introduced: "Exactly, this is my senior brother Chongyangzi Wang Chongyang" He turned to Wang Chongyang and said: "This is today's Lord Xiao Mingxiao, the first assistant master of the Great Song Cabinet!" ”

Wang Chongyang hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and he bowed to Xiao Ming with one hand: "Chongyangzi has seen Master Taishi!" ”

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "Daoist don't have to be polite, I am friends with your senior uncle Yiqing Daoist, and your junior brother Mingkongzi is my old friend!" We're our own people, oh, I forgot to introduce, this is the first assistant of the Privy Council, Lord Shu! ”

Wang Chongyang said: "Lord Wang fought against the Jin soldiers in Shaanxi on the fourth road back then, and his reputation is famous, and it is really a blessing to see him today!" Chongyangzi is so polite."

Wang Shu said with a smile: "Wang Daochang doesn't need to be polite, you insist on resisting gold in the occupied area, the situation is much more difficult and difficult, it is not easy!" I really should thank you for the court! ”

Behind Wang Chongyang were some generals of the peasant rebel army, and when they saw the chief assistant officials of the imperial cabinet and the Privy Council commenting on themselves, they all became relaxed, and a smile appeared on their faces, Xiao Ming warmly greeted them and asked his soldiers to bring chairs, let Wang Chongyang and his party sit down, and served fragrant tea.

Xiao Ming inquired about the whereabouts of Daoist Wang Zhe and Gongsun Sheng, and Wang Chongyang told him that the master and uncle did not know where to cultivate, and they never came back. Xiao Ming heard a lot of emotion, not only had he not seen Gongsun Sheng for a long time, but even Gongsun Sheng's friend An Daoquan had not heard from this Taoist for a long time.

The conversation between the guest and the host was very warm, Xiao Ming learned that the purpose of Wang Chongyang's visit this time was to cooperate with the official army to conquer the Daimyo's Mansion and recover the lost territory.

Since Wang Chongyang's Hebei Righteous Army has been active in this generation, he naturally knows more about the situation of the Daimyo's Mansion, so Xiao Ming asked them about the Jinbing garrison of the Daimyo's Mansion! Gu Wang Chongyang knew that there were not too many golden soldiers in the Daimyo's Mansion, only less than 6,000 people, but there were 50,000 new troops stationed in the city!

Nowadays, there are small units of the righteous army around the Daimyo's mansion, and the Jin soldiers easily dare not go out, not only here in the Daimyo's Mansion, but also in the entire Hebei two roads, because the people are becoming more and more difficult, the control of the Jin State is becoming weaker and weaker, coupled with the economic sluggishness, and the Jurchen nobles' fierce An Mouke plus the officials are becoming more and more exploited, and the people in the occupied areas are becoming more and more difficult, and people continue to flee south, and those who did not flee are all exposed and rebelled, and the Jin people were also brutally suppressed at the beginning, but this form is becoming more and more intense, It's gradually being suppressed anymore!

The guardian of the Daimyo Mansion is the second son of Wanyan Xiyin, the left minister of the Dajin Kingdom, named Wanyan Shuping, due to the internal Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiyi disagreed, and asked Jin Xizong to kill Wanyan Xiyin several times, but Jin Xizong did not kill him, but his power was also weakened a lot, and his son was sent to guard the Daimyo's Mansion as proof.

Wanyan Shuping himself is just a son-in-law, eating, drinking and having fun is okay, but he is not good at commanding the army to fight at all, after he came to the Daimyo's Mansion, in addition to looting the people every day, he is holding the singer to drink and have fun in the mansion, and he has no intention of commanding the troops, and Jin Bing is seeing how to do it above, and learning from below, and his combat effectiveness is a mess.

But the entire Daimyo's Mansion is a city wall that is tall and thick, high and thick, and the righteous army has lost troops and generals in several attacks on the city, so this time I heard that the official army of the Great Song Dynasty came in person, and specially came to assist, hoping that this time it can conquer the Daimyo's Mansion and recover the land of the Great Song Dynasty in nearly 41 counties on the left.

Xiao Ming inquired about the situation of the entire Hebei Righteous Army again, and found that although the Righteous Army had a lot of people, it was seriously lacking in weapons, and there was not even a unified quilt and clothing, many people were wearing people's clothes, and many people were fighting with hoes and guillotines and other things, and they didn't have much food, and many people couldn't eat enough, and the situation was really bad in Xiao Ming's eyes!

When Wang Chongyang learned that Xiao Ming's army was only more than 10,000 people, he was also surprised, such a small army was able to conquer all the way and be invincible. More than a dozen state capitals have been recovered one after another, this combat effectiveness is too strong, it's a bit outrageous, does the imperial court have such a strong army?

When he really saw the Tiger Guards, he was not only more curious, Wang Chongyang was a person who was familiar with military books and tactics, and he knew a lot about military affairs, but when he saw that Xiao Ming's Tiger Guards were holding a musket that was shorter than a spear in his hand, and when he was contacting the assassination, he couldn't help but shake his head, and the layout of the camp was also unreasonable, what was going on? He couldn't figure it out!

Many of Xiao Ming's war models and army deployments are completely based on the theory of modern warfare, and his years of experience in leading troops and his understanding of modern warfare, even if they are just the film and television works of the two world wars seen on TV, are already much stronger than those of the Song Dynasty at that time.

So he didn't have to bother to explain anything, he believed that the Song people were actually very smart, just like Wang Shu, who had basically been familiar with some of Xiao Ming's practices and arrangements in the short period of time he had been by his side, which was much better than Han Shizhong and others.

As Xiao Ming's more optimistic Wu Jue and others, they are still in the initial stage, so Wu Jue can only fight a surprise battle and a frontal offensive cooperation war, but he doesn't know how to use defensive tactics, but it doesn't matter, because they are already very advantageous against an army like Jin Bing.

Xiao Ming decided to give Wang Chongyang some support, because his logistics supplies were constantly transporting supplies from behind, and he gave the righteous army a lot of food, grass and clothing, as for weapons, he could only give the righteous army 10,000 black god crossbows, and other firearms and ammunition were impossible to give them, even then the righteous army was extremely happy.

Although Xiao Ming listened to Wang Chongyang's battle plan and plan for the Daimyo's Mansion, he did not adopt it, saying that he had already completed the plan, and asked Wang Chongyang and others to directly visit the combat operation against the Jin soldiers, and at the same time he gave Wang Chongyang's Hebei Righteous Army a task, that is, to assist in capturing prisoners, and the personnel were basically arranged by him.

The battle started on the morning of the third day, Xiao Ming besieged the city on three sides in the southeast and west, with the waving of the colorful flags of each unit, the combat order was conveyed at the first time, with an order, the artillery of the Tiger Guard Army began to wield, and the huge explosion and sound shook all the Hebei rebels who watched the battle!

The fierce shelling completely broke the spirit of the defenders of the entire Daimyo's mansion, and they decided to flee under the fire and smoke! Since the southeast, west, and west sides had been surrounded, they had to flee from the north gate, but Xiao Ming was able to leave the north gate unsurrounded, so naturally there was an arrangement, and he had already deployed heavy troops on the route where the Jin soldiers escaped.

The steam tanks and the elite infantry groups of the Tiger Guards actually left very few outside the Daimyo's Mansion City, and they were basically ambushed on both sides of the road! As the Jin soldiers fled and entered the ambush circle, the fierce artillery bombardment was again fierce, accompanied by dense gunfire and the roar of the steam tank!

From the launch of the battle to the surrender of the Jin soldiers, it was completed in less than four hours, which made Wang Chongyang and others who were watching the battle stunned! And the rebels were ambushed in front of the escape route of the Jin soldiers, and at this time they happened to come out to help capture the prisoners, and the 6,000 men and horses with the Jin soldiers and the more than 50,000 people of the new army were basically all wrapped up this time, and hundreds of prisoners could be helped on a rope!

Xiao Ming actually didn't block the encirclement, he still opened the net, but the Jin army couldn't run out much under the chaos, hundreds of people protected Wanyan Shuping and went to the north in embarrassment, Xiao Ming ordered the Tiger Guards to pursue, and chased down more than a hundred miles in a fit of anger, knowing that the other party had fled into Zhending Mansion!

For the righteous army, they have never experienced such a big victory, and it is an extremely exciting state to see tens of thousands of enemy troops captured, and Wang Chongyang finally understands why the Tiger Guards of more than 10,000 people were able to drive the Jin soldiers like rabbits! This is actually an invincible army in the world!

How to settle a large number of prisoners, the Tiger Guard Army has long formed a habit, where to divide and where to detain, how to organize manpower to screen enemy generals, etc., the Daimyo's Mansion was recovered, and there is still a lot of food in the city, in addition to opening a warehouse to help the poor, Xiao Ming waved his hand to give all these grains to the righteous army.

Wang Chongyang naturally knew that this was not given for nothing, and sure enough, Xiao Ming asked them to take all these prisoners to the banks of the Yellow River, and he asked Wang Chongyang and them to detain the prisoners to repair the Yellow River embankment, and in winter it was the time to build the embankment, and now there is no need for people or prisoners to work hard, it is enough to have more than tens of thousands of prisoners! Wang Chongyang is naturally a hundred willing!

Xiao Ming would want to report the good news to Kangjing after every battle, which was nothing more than for the benefit of the "Northern Expedition Debt Scroll", but now after taking the Daimyo's Mansion, he should have captured Zhending, but Xiao Ming ordered Wu Jue and Liu Qi's troops to directly start attacking Zhending's Jin soldiers, and he led the team to attack Hejian Mansion!

By the middle of December, Xiao Ming had conquered Hejian Mansion within three days, and he had already landed in Yanjing City within seven days!
