Shao Song

Chapter 28: 1 Meng Fang Xing

   Huai River winds up, and small waves in the river beat the thin ice on the edge. On the 27th morning of the twelfth lunar month of the first year of Jianyan, Zhao Guanjia finally led the last batch of trips across the Huaihe River to Bagong Mountain.

And at noon on this day, when Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi were personally supervising the construction of military camps for Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi to defend during the retreat, under the clear sky, Zhao Guan’s family, who was waiting on the Linhuai Mountains, saw with his own eyes the direction from the northeast. Liu Guangshi's army came down from Caicheng!

It is densely packed and countless, and the flags are chaotic, riding disorderly, scattered on the plains east of Xia Caicheng and north of the Huai River, but they are united towards Xia Caicheng, like a mess but smelled. Honey-scented ants.

Zhao Jiu sat on Palgong Mountain and watched for a long time. His mood grew worse, but he looked back to an expert and asked: "Zhengfu, although I don’t understand military affairs, is this number too large? How many people are there in the Liu Guangshi Department? ?"

   "Return to the official," Yang Yizhong answered carefully. "Liu Taiwei’s troops are based on the previous argument. Although it has the most armies, it is only one thousand two or three. At this time, the number is no less than 20,000. It should be that there are local townsman archers in the six army states in southern Shandong. The flow goes south with him..."

   "So..." Zhao Jiu suddenly laughed. "Although Taiwei Liu has rarely performed on the battlefield, he still has some means. Even in such a dangerous situation, there are still so many heroic soldiers and horses who abandoned their homes to follow?"

Yang Yizhong became more cautious, but he lowered his voice and said, "Officials, Liu Taiwei’s soldiers and horses have been raised by their father and son for decades since Hebei. The generals of the Western Army have many inheritances and are good at benevolence. support…"

   "I know what you mean." Zhao Jiu interrupted the other party angrily. "Where do I mean to ask sin? If I really want to ask sin, didn't I also run away in embarrassment? Whether it is 100,000 or 50,000, the Jin army is powerful, and Liu Guangshi is not a sin."

   Yang Yizhong was silent immediately.

But Zhao Jiu, after watching for a long time, saw the soldiers congested in front of the city gate again. Instead, he turned around and ordered Wang Boyan to draw up the decree, and Zhao Ding looked for Wang Yuan to cross the river to Caicheng to appease Liu Guangshi and let him Liu Guangshi had a good life to sort out the defeated troops, and the ones that were available would stay with Zhang Jun to hold on, while those that were really unavailable would be sent back to the South Bank for resettlement by Wang Yuanhao.

The order came, how Zhao Jiu would react on the other side of the river is no longer known, but he sat still on Palgong Mountain all afternoon, and didn’t know what to think about. The rest of the people stood by, looking at the richness of the past. Xia Caicheng had recovered the noisy feeling almost visible to the naked eye...It was as if the soldiers were rushing into the city, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

   Of course, Zhao Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had no intention of moving.

   The rest of the civil and military knew well, and they all followed by and looked hard to wait for the news.

   Finally, in the evening, when the light was about to dim, Yang Yizhong suddenly pointed his finger in a direction to the northeast, but he said something that made everyone feel relieved:

   "Look at the official, Jinjun is here!"

  Zhao Jiu was wearing a round-necked red robe, sitting on a grand division chair in the middle of the hillside, slightly looking up at each other, and in the sunset, he saw a small group of cavalry with well-equipped and standing formation galloping down the city from a distance.

   With the cavalry rushing, the scattered soldiers outside the city exploded almost instantly, scattered like headless flies, and some even jumped directly into the Huai Shui regardless of the distance between the Jin Army...

   Zhao Jiu caught a glimpse of this scene from a distance, and was stunned for an instant.

   You must know that unless it is a good man who was born on the edge of the Huai River in this weather, anyone who jumped down would be suicidal, and these soldiers of the Song Dynasty hadn't encountered a life or death crisis, but they were all frightened like this.

   And, in a sense, if they dare to jump the Huaihe River in the east, then they are not afraid of death, right? And if you are not afraid of death, why should you be so frightened that you jump into the Huaihe River?

What’s more absurd is that the cavalry of the Golden Army, with only about five or six hundred men, didn’t care about the frightened soldiers. Instead, they rushed to the east gate of Caicheng, full of banners and crossbows, as if trying to capture them. There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Xiacai City...Fortunately, you can see it from the Badong Mountain across the Huaihe River. Naturally, you can also see Xiacai City on the other side of the river. Therefore, after pulling up the moat suspension bridge in a panic, Xiacai Countless arrows flew down from the city, finally forcing the golden army back.

   After being forced to retreat, the Jin Jun seemed to be a little annoyed. He turned around and scattered all around, trying to vent the defeat of Liu Guangshi's army who was not able to enter.

   After this ‘battle’, Zhao Jiu’s heart was really stunned... Obviously they were all cold-weapon units, but they were abruptly as if there was a generational difference. That day, Mr. Jiang’s worst unit was just like that against the Japanese, right?

   However, what is even more frustrating is that the surrounding civil and military, UU reading www.uukanshu.com all escaped from Hebei and Tokyo, but there are not many accidents, as if they are all used to it!

   "Officials, let's go take a rest!"

In the dark, the Jin Jun left on his own, as if to find a place to stay in the nearby empty market town, but in the dimness, seeing the official sitting still, look unchanging, and in a strange state, Lu Haowen hesitated for a moment. , After all fulfilled the duty of a master. "The two lieutenants Zhang and Liu joined together, with sufficient troops and horses, and the next Cai Jiancheng. We also have transportation on Huai and Shang Huai, and we can supply Huainan materials...Before the main force of the Golden Army arrives, Xia Cai will certainly be able to defend.

   Zhao Jiu gave a strong laugh, did not refuse, and finally got up and left. However, he had just been together, but he heard a violent noise on the other side of the river, and it came from across the river!

   Everyone looked back together, but because the sky was already dark, it was difficult to see the specific situation, but it vaguely felt like something went wrong in Xia Cai City, and it became more and more confused and nervous.

   And Zhao Jiu almost instinctively looked at Yang Yizhong.

"It should be Liu Taiwei's first visit to the Ministry, who refused to accept the constraints of Zhang Taiwei's Ministry, and because of the night camp, food, etc., there was a sense of contention." Yang Yizhong gave a very credibility after a little thought. Strong conclusion. "This is a common occurrence in the army, not to mention that Liu Taiwei has no military discipline..."

   Everyone sighed a few words, as if they still felt that this was a natural thing, they were speechless, and continued to disperse separately, and went to rest in a clean place up and down the mountain, looking for a camp.

I don’t know why, it may be that what I have seen and heard all day and night is beyond my previous knowledge, and I can only be as muddled as a puppet. From the beginning to the end, Zhao Guan’s family, who has accumulated too much emotion, camped directly on the mountain this day. After that, he fell asleep very quickly.

  PS: Happy New Year's Day everyone.
