Shao Song

Chapter 35: New Year's Day

The beheading of twelve levels, plus the expulsion of fifteen people from a ship, although it is a rare victory in the battle against Jin, and among them, five or six of them are confirmed to be true Jurchen soldiers, which is a great boost to morale, but there are tens of thousands of troops. There are mountains and rivers in the city and the situation of confrontation across regions is still a trivial victory. It is not worth mentioning... For this reason, the celebration is to be recorded in the history books and was laughed at.

   As for Wang De's promotion to control, it is not a joyous event worth celebrating, and even this is not the glory of Wang De's combat ability, but a matter of good discussion.

After all, after Liu Guangshi's death, his tribe is now Wang De with the highest rank, the strongest subordinate combat power, and the deepest qualifications. He himself is even rarer to have experience in combat against gold; and although Zhao Jiu has officially joined Wang Boyan. He regained his original position as Marshal of Soldiers and Horses, and became the nominal straight collar of the three thousand Western Army of Liu Guangshi's old army, but he could not really command the battle.

On the contrary, there are now three thousand western troops led by Qiao Zhongfu and Zhang Jing in the Badongshan camp in Huainan; there are three thousand Fu Qing divisions; one thousand Huyantong divisions; there are hundreds of imperial guards; There is a two-thousand prince’s ministry; there are five or six thousand civilians who withdrew from Huaibei but were left to build a large camp... Throwing away helpless empty salaries and vacancies, a total of 145,000 people, including nearly 8,000 soldiers There are no less than 5,000 people in armor, and there are seven or eight hundred horses in each army!

   These are all the data that Zhao Jiu found out through rewards, and it is also the reason why he insisted on personally supervising the rewards. He needs to record this number in a small book in his imperial account, and he did write it down...

   In short, with so many soldiers and horses, if Zhao Jiu, an inexperienced person, is in charge, it must be the death of Zhao Shiguo! There must be a real master! And Wang Yuan Wang Taiwei is really hard for Zhao Jiu to trust.

   That's why Wang De's supremacy took it for granted. It is impossible to celebrate this event.

On the contrary, at this time the main force of the Jin Dynasty’s four princes Wushu attracted the gold army arrived. The approximate figure in the early 20,000 is far more relieved than the previous 100,000, but it is still invincible in the field, and it is still awe-inspiring for Song Jun. Yes, let alone the fire before Liu Guangshi crossed the river, turned Xia Caicheng into an isolated city.

   God knows if Caicheng will surrender in the next quarter of an hour? Then let the Jin army calmly cross such an important town, collect ships from somewhere in the west of the Huai River, cross the Huai River, and then come to search the mountains and the sea.

However, having said so much, after this day of rewards, that is, a few days after the arrival of the Golden Army, Huainan Bagong Mountain Camp still feasted and drank in an untimely fashion, and there was even a sign of lanterns and festivities... Simple, but it's the New Year! And Lin Jingmo from Shouzhou Zhizhou, who was previously ordered to take the people from Huaibei to the south, brought the supplies from the southeast states that Zhao Jiu had been waiting for, including a large amount of meat and wine!

   The sky is cold and the ground is freezing, leaving home, coincides with the festive season, and is facing a major enemy. There is still ready-made wine and meat. There is no reason not to continue to boost morale.

   "I am really an official..."

   In the drapery in front of the imperial tent on the top of the mountain, under the fluttering Jin Wuzhen, the Zhao official's family looked at the "special diet" that Lin Zhizhou had specially set up for him, but it was rare to laugh.

   And the important ministers and close ministers who feasted with each other around, also rarely laughed.

It turned out that just as in Jiegou that day, just because there was an in-house attendant who happened to buy a bucket of **** bean, it was like knowing that when the state gave supplies, a few buckets of **** bean were specially prepared for the officials. This time, it was probably because Zhang Jun and Taiwei Zhang were in Fei. For the sake of preparing dishes, the official family only kept a few ducks, this Lin Jingmo actually prepared a bunch of famous saltwater ducks in the Huai area for the Zhao official family!

   If this is spread out, would the nicknames of the emperor Jiang Ling and the duck official be okay?

   Of course, everyone just smiled, because after all, Jiang Yan and salt water ducks are not luxury goods, and it is harmless to spread them out. On the contrary, they appear to be official and approachable. Just a few days ago, in order to boost morale, Zhao Guan's family also took Ban Zhi and the officers from the two wings of the Western Army to go out of the village every day, specifically shooting wild ducks on the edge of the Huai River!

   It’s just that the more you get used to eating ducks, the more difficult it is to swallow the saltwater ducks of today’s Chinese New Year.

In fact, after Zhao Jiu made a joke, he only ate a duck leg. He did think it tasted great, but after all, it was too greasy and too salty. There are too many words to use, so that the rest Almost the whole one had to be left untouched. Instead, I could only use some rice porridge, fried pork and the like to serve wine, and often cast envious glances at Hu Yin from Zhongshu She... The latter almost gnawed at it. The duck in front of him was so fast and had a good appetite, which really made everyone including Zhao Jiu secretly envious.

But let’s not mention these ducks. After all, it’s the Chinese New Year. After all, it was Zhao Guan’s head that survived two major crises. After all, the materials were replenished. After all, the Jinjun did not have the ability to cross the river. After all, Caicheng had not surrendered... According to the Chinese rules of having fun in time, the atmosphere of the banquet is still very good.

   However, after three rounds of drinking, the drunkenness gradually became apparent. According to the rules of the Chinese wine shop, some mess is inevitable:

   Wang Yacha, who has just been promoted to an official, probably wants to express his gratitude. He has to beat the drums and dance for the official... Even if the army beats the drums, dancing is still allowed;

   Then, Wang Yuan and Wang Boyan ‘recall’ the past of sharing the joys and sorrows of the officials in Hebei, crying and sighing, which is regarded as showing their loyalty;

Then after Qiao Zhongfu and Zhang Jing got a few words of comfort from Zhao Jiu, they suddenly burst into tears. I don’t know if it’s because as a veteran of the Western Army, they have been unable to fight under Liu Guangshi before, so they always feel wronged, or It was between the top and bottom, left and right, and it was really frightened and terrified, and it was only released today;

However, the real climax occurred at the moment when the sky was clear for a few days and the snow began to fall again... Hu Yin, who was particularly powerful in eating ducks, was probably really drunk, regardless of getting up to write a poem, but it was a summary of New Year’s Eve. I missed Zhao Jiu's "Second Sage" who didn't know where it was at this time. Finally, with tears, he urged the Zhao official family to fight against the gold as soon as possible, and went straight to Huanglong to welcome the Second Sage!

This is an irrefutable political slogan. Zhao Jiu cannot easily change it before he has established absolute authority, and it is more or less anti-gold. He wants to go straight to Huanglong Mansion. It is definitely on the right way, that is, welcome back to the second place. Saints can also stop the mouths of many scholar-officials. Of course, Zhao Jiu has to stand up with a serious look, and lead the civil and military personnel of Huainan Camp to accept it together!

   After this incident, the snowflakes grew larger, and Zhao Jiu specifically ordered the army to take precautions. Sufficient manpower must be allocated to patrol the camp and the river bank and pay close attention to the supplies.

   And since this order was issued, it meant that it was not transferred to the small village on the top of the mountain to continue banquets, but it was rare for the New Year to be banned in the camp. If these civil and military people want to drink privately, they can go back to the camp and drink again, it will not be a problem.

   So, among the snowflakes, everyone gradually gathered their gazes on the head of the ministers, Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Lu Haowen, waiting for the Xianggong to lead everyone together.

  The good-tempered Lu Xianggong did not let everyone waste time. After drinking for another round, he shook his head with a drunkenness, and then slowly came to the case where Zhao Jiu was sitting in the tent and bowed his head:

"Officials, tonight and New Year's Eve, it was supposed to have a big banquet, and the monarchs and ministers would have fun, but the enemy is now, and it is in the military camp. Linhuai has fun. UU reading www.uukanshu.com really shouldn't drink excessively... You can’t beat the wine, please rest in the camp and be a wicked person. I invite you all to stop the banquet and return to the camp.”

  Since the prime minister had spoken, all the other civil servants also left the case and asked for a strike after the prime minister.

   Of course, Zhao Jiu had nothing to say, so he got up and left the case, but he helped Lu Haowen, who was a little staggered, to send the Prime Minister himself to the new wooden barracks next to the small village on the top of the mountain.

   This is a great favor, and there is harmony between the monarch and the minister.

However, just as the two were pacing slowly in the snow in front, and finally moved to the barracks on the side of Xiaozhai, when many generals behind them finally breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Xianggong, who was about to enter the house, suddenly turned around and touched him. He closed the official cuffs, and then shook his head for a while and sighed:

   "Isn't it too tight for officials to wear a robe and tie their sleeves?"

   Zhao Jiu didn't react for a while, but just replied casually: "It's really much more convenient to tie your sleeves."

   Lu Hao asked helplessly, so he could only touch the waist of the official's house again: "Then I haven't seen the official's wearing a head and a jade belt for a long time. Why? A lot of things, are they all lost?"

Zhao Jiu froze for a moment, and finally awoke the other party's meaning, but he smiled and went back directly: "Lu Xianggong is drunk, and the emperor is the handsome man in the world. When he is in the battle, he must be ready to wear his armour at all times? "

   Lu Haowen finally let go after hearing this, but he smiled awkwardly while pointing at the top of his head, "In that case, the minister's head is out of fashion."

At this moment, Zhao Jiu was a little embarrassed, but had to laugh again and again to cover up, let the servant take Lu Haowen into the room, then waved back and let the officials disperse, and then slowly returned to the Beiluan imperial account. Went.
