Chapter 57: Robbery while the fire is on
Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan rebelled out of the Great Song Dynasty and commanded the rebels to attack the city and plunder the land along the river. After learning of the rebellion of General Miao and Liu, the government and the opposition were shocked. Gaozong fidgeted on the dragon chair, and when he was about to discuss the matter, he eagerly asked the civil and military officials how to get rid of the thieves and put down the rebellion.
Wang Shu, the secretary of the military department, said to Gaozong that Marshal Han Shizhong is well versed in tactics, brave and strategic, and has just captured the rebellious Wu Xi before, and the morale of the army is high, so Han Shizhong can be sent to lead the army to defend against the enemy.
Gaozong immediately played and ordered Han Shizhong to raise troops to Xiuzhou to meet the enemy. At this time, Jin Wushu received the secret report, and when he saw that the Song Realm was suddenly fighting, he planned to take advantage of the fire to rob. He raised the account and gave orders, beating drums and gathering generals. For a while, the wolf masters, cave masters, and large and small flat chapters came one after another, and the cowhide tent was crowded with airtightness.
Jin Wushu held the secret letter in his hand, and laughed like a needle. He told the generals that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the Song Dynasty, and this time he would lead 500,000 iron horsemen to break through Lin'an City and capture Zhao Gou alive.
The military advisor Hami stood beside Jin Wuxuan, and he asked the wolf master, cave master, and Pingzhang in the camp who was willing to take the lead and help the four wolf lords clear the obstacles to the destruction of the Song Dynasty.
As soon as Hamichi's words fell, two generals immediately stood up. The faces of these two warriors were like silver basins, their eyes were like bullfights, and the beard of Zalizasa was covered under their chins, and they spoke like thunder.
Jin Wushu looked at the two generals, and it turned out to be brothers with white ears and iron ears. These two people cried to Jin Wushu that their brother died at the hands of Song Jiang, and this revenge must be avenged. Jin Wushu nodded, and let the two of them be the vanguard, leading 100,000 troops to attack Xiuzhou. The two brothers, Silver Ear and Iron Ear, led the troops out.
After Han Shizhong received the holy decree, he immediately convened all the generals in the commander's tent of the Chinese army to discuss the strategy of eliminating the thief. At this time, a horse came back to report to Han Shizhong, and Jin Wuyu, the four wolf lords of the Jin Kingdom, asked Yinerhu and Tieerhu to raise 100,000 troops and come to attack Xiuzhou.
According to this news, Han Shizhong said to the generals in the battalion: "Generals, Jin Wushu took advantage of the fire to rob, this time it is menacing, we must be fully prepared to resist the enemy." Now Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan will be stationed in Xiuzhou, and if they get mixed up with Jin Bing, it will be extremely unfavorable for the imperial court to quell the rebellion. Therefore, it is necessary to send a vanguard to attack the Jin people head-on. This will not only allow them to retreat in the face of difficulties, but also combat the arrogance of the rebels. I don't know which general can take the lead and shoulder this burden. ”
Marshal Han glanced at the generals of the joint camp, and Han Yan stood up and said, "Father, I am willing to go to Xiuzhou to break the enemy." ”
Marshal Han told Yanzhi that this time the army was not trivial, this was the first battle of the imperial court to quell the rebellion, and if it could not be won, it would inevitably affect the morale of the three armies and have a bad impact on the trend of the war.
After Han Yan listened to Han Shizhong's words, he was secretly anxious, he knew his father's words, and it was clear that he didn't want him to go. He looked at Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing beside him. The two of them understood and immediately stood up and said good things for Han Yanzhi.
When the few of them were discussing military affairs, Liang Hongyu walked in from outside the tent. She told Han Shizhong that only after going through the battle can a general continuously improve his martial arts and strategy. Now that Yan Zhi is not small, he should let him see the big scene and temper it well. If you are afraid of this and that, let him stay in the camp, it is better to abandon martial arts and make a name for himself in Wenbo.
Han Shizhong saw that his wife and the two young heroes were interceding for Han Yanzhi, so he took out the arrow and gave Han Yanzhi 80,000 soldiers and horses, so that he could march forward to meet the Jin soldiers.
Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing also asked Han Shizhong for his life, and followed Han Yanzhi to send troops to Xiuzhou. Liang Hongyu knew that although his son Yanzhi was very skilled in stepping down with long punches and short fights, he lacked the ability to dominate the battle. The mother and son were in deep love, she took out her double swords, took out the war horse, and also went out with the army.
Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan were stationed in Xiuzhou, and a soldier said to him: "There is a group of people who look around near the official road outside the city, and inquire about the news when they meet people. ”
The second general Miao Liu heard the soldier's story, and whether there were any spies mixed in. In order to prevent leakage of news from the city, the two of them went door to door and ordered the people not to go out of the city. Immediately sent 3,000 flying horsemen to the official road to investigate the situation.
Miao Fu led the flying cavalry to surround the group and interrogate their origins. One of them told Miao Fu that he and everyone else were ordinary people and did some small business. However, Miao Fu didn't believe this person's words, he glanced at everyone, and saw a white-faced fat man with no beard trembling and hiding slightly in the crowd. He didn't lift his head, his eyes were always on the ground.
Miao Fu saw that this person was behaving strangely, and ordered the soldiers to come forward and take the person. After the soldiers took the fat man out like a chicken, Miao Fu recognized this person at a glance as the eunuch Kang Lu beside Gaozong.
When Miao Fu saw Kang Lu, he sneered: "Kang Lu, are you dressed in micro-clothes to go out of the palace to visit the people, or are you going to abscond with a huge wealth." ”
fell into the hands of Miao Fu, and Kang Lu scolded Qin Hui for playing them. It turned out that Qin Hui ruled Wang Yuan and Kang Lu and was deeply favored by Gaozong, and in order to achieve the purpose of blinding the Holy Hearing with a word, he let Wang Yuan and Kang Lu go to Xiuzhou to work in the army with a false holy decree. Miao Fu thinks that Kang has served Gaozong for many years, and he has not said bad things, otherwise how could these generals who are outside not be appreciated and promoted.
Kang Lu was about to ask Miao Fu for mercy, but Wang Yuan made a mistake at this time. He pointed at Miao Fu and scolded bitterly, he was the saint's favorite general, and now that Han Shizhong had already sent troops to Xiuzhou, those who knew each other would quickly let them go.
Miao Fu was furious when he heard Wang Yuan's words, and he rushed forward to take up his sword and behead Wang Yuan. Those soldiers who disguised themselves as ordinary people were killed and begged Miao Fu for mercy. Miao Fu cut down the grass and eradicated the roots, and put Kang Lu and these soldiers to death.
After Miao Fu returned to the city with his troops, he told Liu Zhengyan about the official road. Liu Zhengyan thinks that what Miao Fu did is not wrong, since he is against the Great Song Dynasty, he should take a look at Zhao Goushi's color. Now that two of his favorites have been killed, it is enough to make him tremble.
However, Liu Zhengyan believes that now that he and Miao Fu are raising troops, they will only be branded as rebels. In order to make the teacher famous, Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan ordered someone to write down the number of crimes in the text Zhao Gou, saying that he was weak and incompetent to appoint traitors, and he listened to slander and buried his loyalty, and he was even more hateful He blindly favored a corner of peace, from Jiankang to Lin'an more and more south, he simply wanted to abandon his ancestors and society.
Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan laughed when they saw the text, he thought that with it, he could carry the banner of assisting the country and the people, and completely drive Zhao Gou off the dragon chair. Seeing that the arrogance of the two rebel generals Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan was becoming more and more arrogant, Gaozong sent envoys to the front line again and again to urge Han Shizhong to capture the two rebels as soon as possible.
In order to gain time, both the Song and Jin sides accelerated the pace of their marches. The two parties met unexpectedly at the foot of Bottle Mountain. Han Yanzhi lined up in a straight formation, the general was majestic, and the soldiers were spirited. He reined in the reins, pointed at the Jin general, and shouted, "Well, the Jin general on the other side listens." I am Han Yanzhi, the son of Marshal Han Shizhong, and I was the pioneer of the front of Pingkou. If you invade my territory for no reason, if you see me Han Yanzhi today, you will definitely become a ghost under the sword. ”
Tie Er saw that the young general under the Song Ying General had a white face, and he looked weak. He slapped his horse out of the battle, holding a big fork of the sliding iron, and shouted angrily at Han Yan: "Little doll who doesn't know whether to live or die, let me meet you with iron ears." ”
Between the words, Tie Er went to the fork, and with a move Yaksha explored the sea, and went straight to Han Yanzhi's ribs. Han Yan came to guard the door with a big knife in his hand, and the iron-eared steel fork touched the blade, and immediately sparks splashed.
After a round of confrontation, Han Yanzhi felt a pain in his palm, and he secretly thought in his heart: This golden general is infinitely powerful, and he should only outwit him and not fight hard.
Thinking of this, Han Yan slashed his broadsword and swept the leaves in the wind, only to see a cold light slashing towards Tie Erhu's armor. Tie Erhu shrank his head, Han Yan turned his horse around, and said to Tie Erhu: "Big black face, you come to catch me." ”
Tie Er saw Han Yanzhi playing with his words, he was furious, beat his horse and whipped him, and chased after him as if he was flying. Han Yan saw Tie Erhu chasing after him, tightened the horse's belly, and ran desperately into the mountain road.
Tie Erhu chased after him, and after Han Yan fired three arrows at him, he pulled away and threw Tie Erhu away.
At the loop of the mountain road, Tie Erhu saw Han Yanzhi hanging the robe in front of him, and he reached out to take the robe. Han Yanzhi shouted coldly behind him: "Tie Er looks at the knife." ”
The knife hangs in the wind, and it is extremely fast. Iron Ear was about to turn around, but it was too late. Han Yan raised his knife and slashed Tie Erhu under the horse.
When Han Yanzhi and Tie Erhu rushed out of the battle formation, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing were very concerned about his safety, and immediately commanded the three armies to support. On the Jinying side, Yin'er saw his brother Tie'er riding alone to chase the Song general, fearing that he would be ambushed, and he also commanded the army to chase all the way.
When he arrived at the side of the mountain road, Yinjia saw that Tie Erhu had died under Han Yanzhi's hands, and he cried bitterly with a handful of snot and tears: "Brother, you go slowly, see that my brother will chase you immediately." "He wanted to say that I will avenge you immediately, but in a moment of anger, he said nothing.
The white ear picked up the arrow and hung the bow, and the arrow shot like a drop of water through a stone, shining in Han Yanzhi's heart. Fu Tianpeng listened to the sound and identified the position, stepped forward and used the ape fruit picking style, and held all the arrows that the white fungus put away.
Seeing Fu Tianpeng come out to stir up the situation, Silver Ear rushed towards Fu Tianpeng with a Panlong cold iron in his hand. Fu Tianpeng was unhurried, his eyes were firmly fixed on the choked throat of the silver ear. When the silver ear was approaching, he threw an arrow in his hand, and asked for directions with a stone, which just hit the throat of the silver ear.
After a miserable cry of "wow", he fell from the horse and died immediately. The defeat was like a mountain, and the Jin soldiers were defeated and saw that the two main generals were killed, and fled in all directions like a monkey without a tree to settle down.
After Han Yan ordered the soldiers to move all the grain and grass left by the Jin soldiers back to the camp, he led the front to Xiuzhou. When Jin Yingli Hami Chi learned that this trip was unfavorable, he broke two generals in a row and immediately reported the information to Jin Wuxuan.
Jin Wushu was furious when he learned that both Tie Erhu and Yin Ear had been killed by Song General. wants to personally lead the troops to fight Han Yan to the death. Just as he continued to send troops to Xiuzhou, Tanma reported that Yang Qi of Dongting Lake had intercepted the supplies that Jin Guo was going to transport to Jiankang.
Just when he was angry, the meteor scout came to report again that the Song Dynasty had sent Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi to Xiuzhou to support. Jin Wushu saw that the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were about to arrive, and the Jin soldiers were defeated and demoralized, so he gritted his teeth and led the troops back.
After clearing the hidden danger of the Jin State's sneak attack, Han Yanzhi, Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing prepared to fight against Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, the two rebel generals, and strive to recover Xiuzhou as soon as possible.
