Chapter 51 Quan Zhen had no choice but to go, and someone from the Southern Song Dynasty came
In 1235 A.D., in the late spring of B, Wokotai built the capital in Helin, and built Wan'an Palace.
With Genghis Khan's grandson Batu as the commander, the princes Guiyou and Meng Ge joined the expedition and began the westward expedition. Because each clan led the army with the eldest son, and Nayan also sent the eldest son to lead the army to the expedition, so it was called the "eldest son's western expedition" or "Zhuzi's western expedition".
In the same year, the prince Kuochu and Kuoduan respectively led the Eastern and Western Route armies to invade the Southern Song Dynasty. The Eastern Route Army took Tang, Deng, and Jun Prefectures, broke through Zaoyang and Guanghua, and plundered Xiangfan, Yingzhou and other places. The prince is wide to Xichuan. In autumn, Shandong Zhulu was affected by disasters, and people's livelihood withered, so they were exempted from taxes.
Bingshenqiu, Mongolia exterminated Buriar. Ding Youchun, exterminated Kipchak, and in autumn, marched into the army to capture the city of Yeliezan. In the following year, the troops were divided into four parts, breaking more than ten cities such as Moscow and Rostov-on-Don, and besieging the capital of the Grand Duchy of Vladimir with joint forces and trapping it. Yihai destroyed the kingdom of Asov at the northern foot of the Caucasus Mountains, invaded the southern border of Uras, and sent an envoy to Qiva (Kiev) to surrender, but was killed.
In February, Gengzi suddenly entered the Luzhou Mansion, and his subordinates were wiped out, leaving only two people.
On February 3, Xiao Feng rebelled and occupied the city of Luzhou. The next day, Xiangyuan, Huguan, Changzi and other counties, set up the name Chifeng, and went down to Luzhou in seven days.
On 10 February, Li Shouxian raised 3,000 troops to attack, and the next day he fought a fierce battle in Shuangshui Town, losing 30 troops and not moving for three days. In addition, there are big thieves rampant in Xiangyuan, Xiao Yue is ambushed, Xiao Feng kills him, and all the people celebrate together.
On the 14th, Li Shouxian went around the mountain to seize the city of Luzhou, and suddenly saw that the people did not obey the crowd and killed him, the people did not accept the rebellion, and were expelled, and Shouxian hated the city.
Subsequently, Xiao Feng gathered thousands of people in the Zhanghe River, dredged the river ravines, built water conservancy, and the people were very good, and won 8,000 soldiers. Among them, there are bandits that disturb the people, and they will be destroyed!
In late April, the monk He led 15,000 troops from Qinzhou and ordered 5,000 Tunfenzhou to help.
For a while, the wind was surging, and the Quartet heard the sound and moved, and I don't know how many stories were stirred.
Because it is in the traffic artery from Taiyuan to Luzhou, Qinzhou is already a flag to avoid the sky at this moment, thousands of soldiers are lined up, and their mouths are constantly calling and harmonizing, and their steps are extremely neat. Under the tremendous pressure of the enemy, those soldiers already knew what they should do without Xiao Feng's supervision, so no matter what time it was, they were constantly training themselves.
Xiao Feng looked at this scene before he was relieved.
Only training and discipline are the foundation of a strong army, and she knows this very well. As the saying goes, "no one knows the poor in the downtown area, and some people know the wealth in the distant mountains", this movement has long been discovered by others, and as soon as the entire Chifeng Army came to Qinzhou, someone notified Xiao Feng that someone came to visit.
Although Xiao Feng was confused, he did not refuse, and when he came to the tent, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a true Taoist uniform who had been waiting in the tent for a long time.
When the Taoist saw Xiao Feng, he immediately bowed: "I am Li Zhichang of the Quanzhen Sect, and I have taken the liberty to visit this time, and I also ask Commander Xiao not to blame." ”
"It turned out to be Li Zhichang, but I don't know how your master is true in Changchun?" Slightly sideways, Xiao Feng couldn't help but think of the Qiu Chuji she met in the past, if she hadn't helped Qiu Chuji back then, she was afraid that she would have died when she was young, and she had to preach the classics, which was considered some friendship.
Li Zhichang sighed: "The family teacher is now old and weak, so he is sent here, I want to ask what Commander Xiao wants to do today?"
"What are you doing?" Xiao Feng immediately felt displeased, turned her head and pointed out the window, and there was a soldier who was practicing, and the sound of shouting kept coming out, she smiled and said: "What I want is just to expel the Tartars and revive the old crown of the Han family." Could it be that Brother Dao is trying to stop it today?" Faintly, a red star flashed in his eyes, and he was really angry.
Even if the person in front of him is a disciple of Qiu Chuji, if he dares to stop her, he will have to fight.
"Your Excellency's cultivation is so deep, we can only look up, how can we stop it?"
Although Li Zhichang felt frightened, he still opened his mouth to persuade: "It's just that in the past, the family teacher has always been in the way, and today he was supposed to go in person." Helpless and too old to stand the torment of the journey. As the saying goes, the teacher has something, and the disciple obeys it. So I was instructed by him to come here precisely to understand the people's livelihood in rehanging. I also hope that Commander Xiao will think of the suffering of the people's livelihood, and don't start a rebellion!"
"Joke!"
With a slap, Xiao Feng stood up: "The Mongol Tatar invasion is raging, and you have not stopped it, so that this land of China has become a bloody place. Ten years ago, when the Mongols were in trouble, they invaded and killed all the way, and their crimes were clearly exposed, so who could question them? I went through 10 years of hard work to achieve today's true fire, uphold the will of the people, and raise troops to protect China. But you slandered you with this, and you didn't dare to kill you?"
"Don't dare! It's just how difficult the people's livelihood is. has been repeatedly attacked by war, and it is time to recuperate. If the war breaks out again today, I don't know how many people will die. Li Zhichang persuaded hard, but Xiao Feng had heard too much of what he said, and he was tired of hearing it.
She sneered and sneered: "In that case, then why don't you ask the Tartars, why do they still raise troops repeatedly? Nowadays, even the Southern Song Dynasty has suffered from repeated military disasters, and the people have suffered greatly. In my opinion, if it weren't for the greed of this Tartar, how could there be such a thing? Today, I am raising an army and revolting, and I am celebrating with Heaven and the people. If you abandon the people of the world because of your words, then I am a pig and a dog!"
After a pause, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel a little disdainful: "Your master still has the ambition to defend the people, but you only have the ability to speak with your tongue." I have to say that you are really far inferior to Changchun real people. Although he does not have the heart to conquer the world, he has the ability to protect one party. Although you have compassion for all sentient beings, you are too confused and ignorant of the changes in people's hearts. Do you really think that Tartar is some kind of holy and virtuous king? If your master dies, I think your Quanzhen Sect will probably be wiped out and the Taoist system will not exist. ”
Being squeezed like this, although Li Zhichang was speechless, his expression couldn't help but be a little confused, and he persuaded: "But how difficult the people's livelihood is, please ask Commander Xiao to think twice before acting." ”
"Naturally, it's just that it's in the middle of a war, and there's no way out. Xiao Feng: "Please forgive me for not being able to send it off!"
"In that case, then I'll retire. Li Zhichang saw Xiao Feng's performance like this, and he already understood that the other party was resolute, and he was definitely not able to move, so he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
He came this time to dissuade Xiao Feng and eliminate a killing. However, when he was refuted by Xiao Feng's argument, he couldn't help but feel confused, and almost lost his cultivation heart, so he had to retreat.
............
In the city of Luzhou, the Changping warehouse used for disaster relief in the past has long been opened, and it is full of mountains of rice millet and wheat that have not yet been shelled.
These millet grains and wheat were originally expropriated by the royal power from the local people, and more than half of the grain of the peasants for a year was here, but after three or five years of accumulation, the whole warehouse had been completely filled, and the sound of rats came from the corner occasionally.
Even so, the royal power did not mean to open up in the slightest.
According to the orders from the Mongols, these grains were military rations, which were specially used for the southward movement of the army, and could not be used for other purposes, even if disasters such as floods and droughts occurred here, they did not have the slightest intention of opening, and their only purpose was to serve the Mongols.
However, after Xiao Feng came, this place was ordered to be opened, and Xiao Xing was in charge.
Whether it is trading with "Heng Shengyu", distributing food to the soldiers of the Red Feng Army, or collecting the goods needed by the people in the city, they all come from here.
Now, under the watchful eye of Xiao Xing and more than thirty soldiers around her, those people walked in one by one, carried out the burlap bags full of grain, and loaded them into the carriage that was ready next to them. Bags of grain were piled up on the wagon, and the wheels creaked under the weight of the heavy weight, and even the pack horses in front had to open their mouths and stick out their tongues to release the heat of their bodies through their tongues.
There were hundreds of iron horsemen guarding him, all of them wearing heavy armor, and a pair of cold eyes stared at the busy people from the gap in their helmets, lest these people do something in secret. After the carriage was loaded, the coachman above waved the long whip in his hand, urging the war horse in front of him to hurry to Qinzhou, so that the Red Phoenix Army that was fighting on the front line could be supplied in time.
Everything is going in order.
Not far away, there were also more than a dozen carriages coming, with the words "Heng Shengyu" hanging on the carriage, and Xiao Yue next to it.
In this time of scarcity, they had to take matters into their own hands so that things would not go wrong. Under the command of the soldier next to him, he stopped the carriage, and five people walked out of it and came to Xiao Xing's side.
Xiao Xing didn't look up, and asked casually, "What is in the carriage and how much?"
"Ten years have passed, and I have never thought about it in a flash. The two of you have grown up too. Seeing the appearance of this demure girl, the first person threw away the hat that covered his face and said slowly.
Xiao Xing was suddenly startled, and when he lifted it slightly, he saw a familiar figure, and immediately shouted, "Uncle, why are you here?"
"State affairs are ethereal. Even though my martial arts have never regressed, that's why I'm here. ”
The almost mature appearance inevitably made Jiang Li sigh at the changes of the years, so that the delicate girl who was so smart and lively in the past turned into the demure woman who is in charge of the logistics of a state today.
"Are you guys coming here today to represent the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Court?" his brows furrowed, and Xiao Xing swept over a few people in some surprise.
"That's right. It is precisely because of the orders of Meng Xianggong that I went north to protect the person who met you behind me. Feeling a little embarrassed, Jiang Li turned over slightly, revealing an old man behind him. The man was no longer confused, with mottled hair and a sign of exhaustion, and a coarse linen cloth, and blended in with the old peasant in the country. Although he was thin, his eyes shone brightly, like two lighthouses in the night, revealing a prayer for the future.
Xiao Xing said suspiciously: "Who is this?"
Jiang Li was about to introduce, but this gentleman only shook his thin arm slightly, his eyes were full of helplessness, and he replied: "In the past, when the old man was young and crazy, he also came here. It's just that at that time, I didn't know people's hearts and practice, so that I made a big mistake, and even doubted the entire Jiangbei generation, which was very regrettable. It is inconvenient to talk about the notoriety with the two, so as not to add to the tongue of the two. If you don't give up, you can call me Mr. Mizukawa!"
"That's good, Mr. Mizukawa, since you have come here after trekking through mountains and rivers, I don't know what the purpose of this visit is?" Xiao Xing asked.
Mr. Mizukawa said loudly: "I came here this time to help the Red Phoenix Army get out of the cage and relieve this crisis!"
"Resolve the crisis here, can you really save the entire Red Phoenix Army?" Xiao Feng was suddenly shocked and asked in a low voice.
Mr. Mizukawa bowed his jaw and said, "That's right. If you are willing to accept my advice, perhaps this Red Phoenix Army will be able to escape this catastrophe. Otherwise, what do you think I am thousands of miles away from, and what is the matter with coming to this Luzhou?"
"Okay, so tell me how we should do that?"
Silver teeth bited, Xiao Xing pondered for a moment, although he felt that the person in front of him had something to say, but when he thought of the sinister environment of Xiao Feng on the front line, he immediately nodded and asked. (To be continued.) )
