Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 63: Q&A

The Baihe River, which flows from the east side of Nanyang City to the south, and then turns to the southeast under the Yu Mountain, is probably the Luoshui River of the previous Three Kingdoms period. At least it is related by blood.

And for thousands of years, this river and Nanyang City have seen too much rise and fall and wars.

Therefore, on this day, when a mediocre military activity revolved around this river, it didn't bother to react at all, but greeted everything with a silent posture.

When the sky was light, Song Jun began to cross the river in the three large pontoon areas just south.

In other words, the Baihe River surrounds Nanyang on both sides, and Nanyang is a famous big city in the world, with a large population, well-developed handicrafts and agriculture, and the main passage from Jingxiang to the Central Plains. Therefore, this place is usually densely populated with business travelers, and Nanyang goes south. , To the east, there is also a tradition of seasonal and even permanent pontoons.

This is also an important reliance for Zhao Jiu to go out of town tonight. He knows that crossing the river itself is unlikely to be a problem before the river ice melts. It doesn’t matter whether the Jinjun, Zhang Yu’s troops, or Zhang Jing who came to help. The reason is that the pontoon bridge was specially demolished during the icy period, but the pontoon bridge would only be laid as early as possible during the ice melting period.

Back in front of him, the Song army began to cross the river in an orderly manner, and Yang Yizhong rate more than half of the imperial squad directly in the queue almost made most of the Song army main force except Wang De and Zhang Jing believe that the Zhao official family was with them.

Even some of the Yuqian Ban Zhi who followed Zhao Guan's house out of town at night firmly believed that the official's house was in the army, but the chaos of the march and the uncertain weather did not meet him for a while.

This is the so-called trying to deceive the enemy before deceiving yourself.

And sure enough, just after the Song Army passed halfway in the south of the city, the straight east of Nanyang City, which was about 20 miles away in a straight line, was in the dark shadows behind Yushan and before the old Yushan camp. Hundreds of red-hearted cavalrymen heard a rumbling sound that was not very loud at first but vibrated very broadly, like a deliberately suppressed muffled thunder.

Needless to say, Zhao Guan’s family and most of the military elites in the city have guessed right, and bet right—the Wanqi who retreated to the north by the Jin army yesterday was not to support the lazy people, but to outflank them. !

It's just that, in order to avoid being stunned, Wan Qi chose to complete the outflanking from a little farther away.

And with the sound of horseshoes, the muffled thunder moved from far to near, and the cold wind howled, unexpectedly faintly sent the sound of horses.

Moreover, I know that the two sides are separated by a river and I don’t know how many miles, and I also know that the sun rises very late in the winter morning, and the remaining night is enough to cover most people’s figures, but everyone still chooses instinctively. With a hold of his breath, the flag died down, quietly waiting for a large force of the Golden Army to flow through Zhengdongfang.

Among them, it is not easy to say how others are nervous and thinking about something, but Zhao Jiu, who is replaced with armor and bows and arrows on his back, stands with his back to a rock, just like standing under the city during the artillery battle. ...It's just that the mood is completely different.

Moreover, at this time, I don't know whether it was a big heart or a broken jar, Zhao Jiu actually continued to think about the problems that he hadn't thought about before in the sound of horseshoes. He has been thinking, and has been thinking, why is this situation now?

The Jin Jun’s current actions did not exceed the imagination and expectations of those military elites of the Song Dynasty. Although the Jin Jun’s siege was strong, it was completely defeated by the Song Dynasty’s higher-level defensive skills; even looking at the overall situation. However, the overall strategic plan of the Jin Army cannot be said to be excellent, and the Song Army’s response has failed.

However, the situation finally came to the present step by step-an emperor put himself on the side of the enemy's Wanqi, desperately looking for a chance!

Is this reasonable?

Is this the same as that time when Ruyang went out of town?

That time I went to see Zhai Chong from a condescending position, with a certain attitude. The ministers even disliked him for losing his elements, but this time they had to survive the golden army tens of thousands of cavalry in the field outside the city, and they had to use tens of thousands of soldiers. Life as bait.

How many catties and taels he has, others don't know, he doesn't know Zhao Jiu himself? It was neither Li Shimin nor Zhao Kuangyin. Eight hundred cavalrymen were hiding here. Once they were discovered by the Jinren, it would be a dead end.

However, what can he do besides doing this at this time?

Isn't it a desperate situation now? Isn't it true that the tens of thousands of people between Han Shizhong and Wuhe have to finish playing? Even the Tokyo Left-behind Department will collapse completely, and the entire country's military strength will disappear out of thin air by two-thirds!

He was simply forced to go to Liangshan!

Lin Chong is a Fengxueshan temple, he is a dry and white river, but he is nothing more than a murderous intent to invade people when he thinks, and he speaks of sadness and coldness.

I don’t know if Lin Chong is among Song Jiang’s thirty-six invaders, and is he really from the Forbidden Army?

Thinking of this, I can't think of it.

Half an hour later, the muffled thunder continued, but it had migrated from the northeast to the southeast, and at this time the sky was already unknown. It is conceivable that after daybreak, the Jin Army will inevitably have a fierce battle with the Song Army who has completely crossed the river as planned... But at this moment, Zhao Guanjia suddenly got up, stepped forward and pulled his horse, turned and turned towards the Baihe Floating Bridge. Go, regardless of the fact that the Golden Army Brigade is not far away at this time.

The surrounding people suddenly fell into a panic, some instinctively led the horse to follow, some were busy stopping, and others tried to enter the admonition, but they did not dare to speak up.

"After crossing the river," Zhao Jiu didn't pay attention to the commotion, but looked at Liu Yan and exhorted. "The former army of the Golden Army must have already engaged in the battle. By then, the whole army of the Red Heart Team will not have to be too cover-up, and will go all the way east away from the battlefield. When encountering a small group of Golden Army, they will actively scold them and let them make way.

The few people behind heard the words and instantly awakened, but they did not persuade them any more. Instead, they admired that there were some carefulness in the haste of the Zhao official family-you must know that Liu Yan and the Red Heart team are both from Liaodong, and their accents are not at all the same as the cavalry in the Jin Army Second, this is probably why Yang Yizhong, who has a higher status and a more reliable identity, tried to lure the enemy and only let Liu Yan go with him.

In this way, the eight hundred cavalry cautiously crossed the Baihe River, then turned on their horses, guarded the Zhao official's house and several ministers in the center, and then set their horses to the east.

Facts have also proved that Zhao Jiu’s decision to cross the river without waiting for the Jin Jun to pass through is not a problem, because the Jin Jun’s mind is all in the south. Although he ran into a few scattered cavalry units along the way, he was just on his way. He didn't notice the slightly different cavalry of the Red Heart Cavalry in the morning light.

In the morning, the whole army arrived in Qingtai Town, which is dozens of miles away from the east of Nanyang, and crossed the bleeding here through a stone bridge.

So far, the whole army rested for a while, drank water and food, unarmed and fed the horses, and then did not mean to spare the precious horses at all, and set off in a hurry—it’s nothing, because the reason why the horses are regarded as treasures is for the moment. This situation!

But the problem is that Zhao Guan's family took the lead and went directly to Dongchi! Instead of going south along the Bishui!

At this time, let alone the soldiers below, the second person in the team, Yu Shi Zhongcheng Hu Yin, who was embarrassed to keep up with, finally reacted with a spirit, Zhao Guan's family is not going to Xiangyang! It's going to the east...to the east, nine out of ten, it's going to Yanling!

Of course, at this time, among the few accompanying people, I am afraid that once a military issue is involved, Hu Zhongcheng, who is absolutely a waste, has just reacted!

But on the other hand, once there is no need to consider military issues, Hu Mingzhong is immediately the extremely smart man who used to handle Han Shizhong like a child!

Therefore, once he woke up, Hu Yin followed Zhao Guan’s blankly behind him, and he became happy and worried.

The happy thing is that the official family did not lose heart after all, and did not choose to give up taking the initiative to go to Xiangyang to evade, or the Zhao official family who crossed the river to meet Zhang Jun on a snowy night on the Huai River; and the worry is that he combined with Liu Ziyu, Li Guang, etc. After many disputes, Hu Yin began to suspect that the official must bring his own reasons on this trip...Isn’t he worried that Hu Mingzhong’s stay in Nanyang would ruin the military situation, right?

In the eyes of officials, Hu Mingzhong is just a person who will ruin the situation?

At this point, the Yushi Zhongcheng was ashamed and angry, but he could only grit his teeth, because at this time, it didn't make sense to say or think.

In the afternoon, eight hundred cavalry arrived at the Zhongyangshan area in Old Tangzhou, the westernmost part of Nanyang Prefecture. The whole army slowed down through the mountainous area. Then Zhao Guanjia ordered water and food for the second time, and after getting up again, he ordered half of the sergeants to be used. Abandoned horses on the spot and went to Biyang, with four hundred remaining, one person and two horses continued to march!

Besides, when Zhao Guan's family desperately rushed to Yanling, Nanyang had already decided the winner. But the facts proved that the Song Army was basically unable to fight back against the Golden Army cavalry in the field.

Even if the three generals Wang De, Yang Yizhong, and Zhang Jing were told early, once they succeeded in luring the enemy, they could immediately return to the city, so they immediately turned back north when they noticed the attack of the Jin Army brigade at dawn; even if the three generals were consciously slow Crossing the river, deliberately leaving the heavy baggage on the inner side of the Baihe River, the action was light; even if they had deployed a line of defense against the cavalry on the outer side and east side of the Baihe early... Song Jun still seemed so vulnerable to his big side attack!

In just half an hour, the entire Song army had entered the defeat mode. The three generals had no choice but to take the troops they could control and try their best to guide some troops back north.

But Song Jun’s misfortune had not yet ended. After Song Jun crossed the river early in the morning, in addition to the extremely fast attack on the outside of the Baihe River, Wanyanwushu did not give up on the inside of the Baihe River after learning the news. In contrast to the siege, in the morning, Han Chang attracted the same huge number of cavalry, swarming, trying to fight with Wanyan Palisu across the river!

At this time, combat is meaningless, and the whole army is basically able to move one by one.

On the head of Nanyang City, countless officials who fell into chaos and disputes because the officials suddenly went south to Xiangyang, looking at such a miserable image, they basically lost their desire to argue-this scene is too much like the outside of Jingkang in Tokyo that day. Those kings of Qin who were defeated were out.

Moreover, most of them, including the important officials who knew that the official family was out of the city, also fell into despair, because no one knew the safety of the Zhao official family after such a terrible defeat.

Fortunately, the two Lu Xianggong showed great calmness and execution at this time. Under the two people, one lenient and one strict, the city maintained a certain degree of order, the artillery position was also activated in time, and the troops in the city immediately went out of the city. The layout of the sheep and horse wall effectively contained the action of the cavalry of the Golden Army outside the city, and also allowed a large number of defeated soldiers of the Song army to escape.

However, this large number is only compared to the tragic sight of the day. After checking the defeated soldiers at night, it was discovered that Wang Debu, Yang Yizhong, and Zhang Jingbu, a total of 10,000 people, only entered the city for four thousand, and Dazhai in the east of the city was also recaptured by the Golden Army. . The three generals all came back alive, but except for the blood on Wang De's body, the other two were injured.

But at this time, these really don't matter, and it's fortunate to be able to come back alive.

Of course, when the people in the city heard the news that the officials had “bypassed Xiangyang with the bait of the Ten Thousand Army”, although they were stunned, they felt that someone was cold, and realized that the Song Dynasty was not dead yet and the city could still be defended. The order in the city gradually calmed down... It was impossible for the morale to return to its former state.

In fact, something went wrong that night-an officer of Fu Qing's Ministry thought that Zhao Guan's family was indifferent and let tens of thousands of people use it as bait to escape, so they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to lead the troops and abandon the city to surrender to the Jinren.

Yang Yizhong, who was wounded and insisted on working, discovered that these people were directly captured in the military workshop. For this reason, Fu Qing went to find Lu Yihao to plead and plead.

In response, Chief Minister Lu Yihao not only promised to intercede, but also publicly accused Yang Yizhong of disregarding the overall situation and convicted innocent sergeants with rumors.

There is still a follow-up to this matter. On the second day, these people really fled while taking turns to the city. Fu Qing came to stop him personally, but only half of them were killed. In the end, a few people escaped; and Fu Qing came again. After pleading guilty, Lu Yihao praised Fu Qing, and added Fu Qing and Zhang Jing, who had fled back to the city to recover from his injuries, as deputy defensive envoys on the walls of Nanyang Mansion; as for the few rebels who escaped, they did not end well... Without finding the official family of Zhao Song, Jin Jun learned from the people who had escaped that Chen Cang of Zhao official family may have fled to Xiangyang, but he was resentful!

Wan Yan Wushu personally ordered these people to be cut alive in front of the tent, and then he was caught in a dilemma... He didn't know whether to immediately separate a soldier, Ma Nan, and encircle Xiangyang!

But two days passed in this mess.

I must say one more thing here. The Yanling-Changshe battlefield is in the northeast of Nanyang, just outside the northeast exit of the Nanyang Basin. The straight-line distance from Nanyang to Yanling is about three hundred miles, and the road is extremely flat. When the cavalry is a messenger , One person and two horses, if you don't fight and entangle, keep changing horses, you can get there in a day and a half.

But that road was too dangerous. Once the 800 cavalry hit the Golden Army, it would be a dead end. So Zhao Jiu chose the road from Du Yan, which is to go east through Zhongyang Mountain and out of the Nanyang Basin. , And then take Xiping as the pivot point, bypassing the battlefield where the Golden Army may exist, and then walk north towards Yanling.

After walking in this way, the actual distance has expanded to more than four hundred miles.

More than four hundred miles, the synthetic Hanli is about five hundred miles, Xia Houyuan has said, five hundred in three days, but that refers to the limit attack while maintaining the organization and combat effectiveness of the army. In fact, Du Yan, a civil official, came on horseback desperately, his consciousness was blurred, but he finished the road in only two and a half days.

And Zhao Jiu followed this path. In the afternoon of the first day, half of the sergeants were driven away and changed to one person and two riders. In the early morning of the second day, he bypassed Xiping and walked on the main road, leaving behind some of the soldiers again and selecting horses. But it was a little faster than both Xia Houyuan and Du Yan.

Of course, it's not much faster.

On the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Guanjia, who was reborn from the flesh, brought a pair of frayed thighs, led a few confused entourage, and the knights who had fallen behind to less than two hundred, when they came to the lower Song Army barracks in Yanling City. It was already two and a half days.

Moreover, Zhao Jiu was not in a hurry to go to the camp, but instead ordered the whole army to get on and off in the open space to the south of the camp to rest, using the last bit of dry food and the stream directly loaded on the road.

This move made some of the accompanying knights a little puzzled. It was clear that Song Jun's own camp was in front of him, but why didn't he enter the camp to enjoy hot water and hot meals?

Not only that, this strange behavior also attracted the attention of scattered troops and some officers in the camp. Soon, a mixed cavalry and infantry horse of four to five hundred men sprang up from the southernmost camp of the camp to investigate.

More than a hundred cavalrymen drove far to the west, the infantry splayed away face to face, and then reined their horses to look forward, obviously in a defensive siege posture.

In the past, the red-hearted squad soldiers who were actually included in the direct system of the royal squad must be unbearable, but at the moment they are tired and lack the strength to swear.

After a while, the head of the white-faced general probably noticed the fatigue of the Red Heart Cavalry of this man and many horses, so he relaxed a little, and immediately asked:

"Which soldier are you? Where did you come from?"

"We are the Imperial Frontier Zhi, from Nanyang City."

Zhao Jiu swallowed and sent away the dry fried noodles from his throat. However, under the look back of Liu Yan and others, he managed to raise his voice... for two consecutive days and nights, even though he had worked hard to hide his fatigue, Zhao Jiu But it is difficult to hide the fact that his voice is slightly hoarse. "I'm Fan Zongyin, a member of the Imperial Academy, and I am next to the senior official Feng, the guardian and imprisonment class, who came to Yanling to declare the decree by decree."

After hearing this, he first noticed Lan Gui on Zhao Jiu's side, and then saw the treatment of this troop as one person and many horses, as well as the excellent armor and weapons carried on the horses, and those few who were exhausted, but could not hide their position. The aura of the scribes immediately believed 60%.

It’s just that this person has always been refined, but he can’t help asking: “Since he is an angel of the court, why not directly declare the seal and enter the camp, and enter the Yanling City after training, and instead eat dry food here?”

In this regard, Zhao Jiu was half-true and half-false, and the answer was simply: "Having been on the road day and night, covered in wind and dust, he wanted to rest, put on his official robes, and then walk inside, so as not to fall into the power of the heaven.

When I heard this, I was 80% convinced, so I dismounted and moved forward and bowed his hands in salute. First he called Zhao Jiu Sheren, and then Lan Jiu was a high-ranking official. As soon as he was about to continue, Zhao Jiu interrupted the other party and asked:

"Who are you, and what is the position of the bureau? Who is it under?"

The white-faced general did not dare to neglect, and immediately bowed his head to answer: "Jingdong Li Kui, now the commander of Yuezhen Fu's command."

Zhao Jiu was startled slightly: "I remember your name... vaguely remembered, he should be a man from Yishui who had been a military thief in Mizhou? Are you under Yue Fei now?"

"Exactly." Hearing this, the person no longer doubted, and immediately bowed his head to face each other. "Mizhou was captured by Li Cheng. I lost my roots and didn't want to vote for gold, so I went to Zhang Zhen to caress..."

"Don't talk about it." Hearing that it was Yue Fei's subordinate and the person he had noticed because of his name, Zhao Jiu no longer hesitated, but immediately got up and interrupted him. "I enter your camp to rest, you immediately go to Yue Fei, there is a part of the will with him!"

Li Kui heard this, wishing to be so... you must know that if it is a real Nanyang angel and knows his name, he will enter his camp and sell it for nothing; and if something goes wrong, two hundred cavalry will enter him. In the camp, there were no waves anymore... but he couldn't agree to it immediately. Without checking the documents and letters, he directly escorted Zhao Jiu and his party into the southernmost camp.

Furthermore, after a while, Li Kui surrendered his army account, made a little arrangement and instructions, and then called for people. Zhao Jiu and others immediately put on the armour, wash the face, and change clothes in the camp. clothes.

After waiting for a while, Liu Yan and the others finished putting on their armours, Hu Yin, Lin Jingmo and others also washed them properly. Zhao Guan's family even put on the red robe and gold belt specially brought by Lan Gui along the way, and put on the hard-winged head. After sitting down on the case, he opened the tent door, but he didn’t let Wan Tuan hang the Jinwu 纛旓 out of the tent... I can only say that it’s rare to be bumpy all the way, and the hard-winged head is not broken, otherwise I have to just leave it alone. Came to see the visitor with his head.

At noon, with the sound of horses hoofs stopping outside the gate, a general led dozens of guard knights to step inside. When they reached the front of the Chinese army's tent, they first stared at Liu Yanmeng, who was standing beside the tent and standing silent. The ground was startled.

When I entered, I only glanced at the person behind the case, then bowed his head and bowed, so shocked that he and the others hurriedly bowed.

But after a long time, Zhao Jiu, who was caught off guard after the case, only realized: "You met me when Yue Qing was in Nanjing?"

"Return to the officials, that's the case." The general headed below did not look up, and immediately answered.

Li Kui, who was next to him, was almost horrified after hearing this conversation. He instinctively wanted to raise his head, but he buried it deeper.

"Get up and raise your head." Zhao Jiu took a deep breath.

Upon hearing the words, Yue Fei immediately led the worshipers to get up, and then raised his head and crossed his hands to face the person behind the case.

Unexpectedly, when the opponent stood up, Zhao Jiu calmed down, but remained silent for a moment... Besides, after seeing the real person, Zhao Jiu suddenly realized that the person he had been jealous of before was not the person in front of him at all, because he The object of jealousy for a long time, or the strange demon that has always existed in his heart, is not a person at all!

And the man in front of him is completely different from the statue. The plain-looking man is a living person, a general he can rely on just like Han Shizhong. He has no reason to be jealous of him. On the contrary, he can only cooperate with this man. Can turn the tide.

"Pengju knows me best." After a sudden heartbeat, Zhao Jiu spoke with a language that was so plain that he himself felt unbelievable. "I'm only here to ask you a few things... How is Du Chong these few days? Have you ever contacted Du Yan?"

"Four days ago, Deputy Du stayed behind and sent people out of the city to find Du Jiyi in the camps. Two days before and after, after two days of nothing, he stopped looking for people. Instead, he stayed behind closed doors and saw no one..."

"Can you go in the city?"

"……can!"

"How many soldiers and horses can you hold?"

"Twenty thousand!"

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the army?"

"More than 80,000!"

"How long can grain and grass last?"

"One ten..."

"I want to win this battle~www.readwn.com~ Is it possible?"

Yue Fei was startled for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and paused for a moment before he replied in awe, "Yes!"

"Bring me into the city!" Zhao Jiu got up without hesitation.
