Shao Song

Chapter 37: Snow crossing (middle)

     Even if it’s late on New Year’s Eve that day, I don’t know whether it was the first year of Jianyan or the second year, whether it was five years or six years of Tianhui. In short, when the snowflakes fell, more than one person drank and drank.

   "The army is boring, I want to cross the river to take a look!"

   In the big tent of the Central Army of the Jin Army, the head coach of the Jin Army with his legs on the case, Wanyan Zongbi, commonly known as the Fourth Prince Jin Wushu, suddenly threw the gold wine bowl in his hand onto the hard ground.

   The steaming military tent suddenly became quiet, and the officers and soldiers in the tent looked at each other, but they also frowned.

Moreover, in terms of crossing the river, Jin Wushu is obviously killing his life, because the Huai River section in Shouzhou is obviously controlled by the Song Army...Thanks to the rush of strong walls and clear fields, a large number of ships have been concentrated on the south bank. The ferry crossings on the north bank were also generally burned. The Golden Army did not have many ships in hand, and was unable to organize a large-scale crossing of the river. After the hasty investigation failed that day, the Song Army had even begun to boldly use the ferry in the river. Patrolled.

   If this is the middle of the night, if you encounter a few Song Army boats in the river, no matter how strong the equestrian skills of the four princes are, they can only sink to feed the ducks.

In comparison, someone crossing the river with such awe-inspiring righteousness is like a life or death. The only risk comes from the instability of Xia Caicheng...because there is no risk in terms of crossing the river and entering the city. Xia Caicheng is There are people who ferry in Linhuai. Although the ferry is burnt, the waterway can pass through the city wall, and it is impossible to hit the golden man.

   But obviously, the thinking of the Jin Ren is completely different from that of the Song Ren.

   "Are the four princes not going to attack the city?" After a pause, a rugged Jurchen Meng'an (that is, the commander of thousands) asked first.

   "Pu Luhun wants to be on the right track." Jin Wushu said, wiping his beard with his head up. "You've all seen the investigation in the past few days. This Xia Caicheng is a top-notch major city, and we didn't come to fight this kind of battle this time. I just wanted to capture the new official Zhao Song... Don't touch it!"

"Four princes, someone in the city fled from the west yesterday and was caught by us. They said about the fear and instability in the city." Another person spoke, but he was a fair-faced and short-sized person. This person was called Ali. , Is also an authentic general of the Jin army, the so-called ten thousand captain under the Meng'an (thousand commander) Muke (century commander) system. "How can I not feel at ease the trapped city, siege the city, and force Zhang Jun to come down? Xia Cai descended, then Emperor Zhao Song abandoned the north bank and ran away?"

   "You also said that when Xia Cai descended, Emperor Zhao Song ran away, then are we in vain?" Seeing Ali speaking, Wu Shu turned over and sat up, facing seriously with alcohol. "And if you attack the city first, there will be a Linhuai crossing in Xia Caicheng. Although it is said to be burned, it is always accessible to Huainan. The Song Dynasty emperor was stationed in the northern mountain of Palgong Mountain. What is hanging high up in the city, you can see from a glance...The Emperor of Song Dynasty is there, and the morale of the city can be supported instead!"

   "No matter what the four princes say!" Ali also threw the wine bowl in his hand to the ground. "I'll be straightforward. I would rather send a sign army to attack the city first. If it fails, I will shoot the city with a cannon. I don't want to drown my life in the Huaihe because the coach is drunk!"

As soon as this statement came out, all the Han soldiers in the account were shocked, but Jin Wushu raised his head and laughed, and some other Jinjun officers also laughed. Only Ali was angry at himself, and the other ten thousand husband blamed Lubu. There are also some bad looks... It turns out that the Jinjun is rigorous in ruling the army, and there is a famous military rule, which is that if a higher-level officer is killed in battle, his direct and lower-level officers must be beheaded to show the public regardless of the reason!

   Therefore, in every battle, as long as a certain officer personally charges in the front, his troops will fight to the end, and will never waver.

   And this, of course, is the real reason for Ali's anger and frustration. He is not afraid of Jin Wushu going to the battlefield. What is going on the battlefield? In the age of Aguda, which of the nobles of the golden army was not polished out of the sea of ​​blood in the mountain? The name Ali also has its origins... Ali was changed from the three characters Alixi, and Alixi means the name of the lowest lieutenant when the Jurchens were still under the tribal system during small-scale raids.

   In other words, Ali is step by step from the cheapest Alixi, who is better than Jin Wushu's record of beheading eight people by himself when he was a teenager?

   In fact, many generals of the Jin Army who were not born in the Wanyan clan, even the generals of the Wanyan clan, have names with strong military overtones, and you can know their general origins by just listening to them.

   Going back to the front, the problem is that Ali, who was born in Ali, can accept the defeat and death on the battlefield, but he cannot accept the innocent involvement caused by the drunken superiors.

To put it awkwardly, if Jin Wushu plunged into the Huaihe River tonight, it would be worthwhile for someone else to surrender his life for the burial; and if he was caught in the water and captured, it would be even more ridiculous. Retreat... Actually, this was also the fundamental reason why Yue Fei could retreat all over after he captured the enemy commander when he was on the edge of Taihang Mountain, and Wang De by the Huai River was able to kill all the people in the boat.

   "General Ali feel at ease." After smiling, Jin Wushu also gave some comfort. “Today’s New Year’s Eve, the other side is also holding a lantern for a feast. How can I send a boat to patrol the river at this time? There is a patrol. I will take a few Han people to deal with it... Besides, I won’t go ashore. It’s not that I’m drinking too much, but I really want to see the reality of the opposite camp in the river, whether the Emperor of Song Dynasty is there? How is the morale of the other side? Let’s see if the Huai River can float directly? Or can it be pierced? pontoon?"

At this point, seeing Ali Xi still talking, Jin Wushu sneered and got up and went out, as if he was preparing to take the night snow crossing to observe the enemy camp... and Ali Xi and the opposite Yan Lubu glanced at each other, but was helpless and could only sullen his head and drink and eat meat.

Besides, Jin Wushu left the Golden Army camp and did not greet others. He directly led three or five guards to the north bank of the Huai River on horseback. He found a few small boats rare in the Jin Army and called a dozen more in Hebei. The Han army, who was born in rowing, took a small boat and crossed the river in the snow.

The boat went a little westward. When approaching the middle of the river, under the light of the lights on both banks, I saw another hazy figure of another Han army ship on the south bank at a distance of more than a hundred steps, but the ship was heading northwest. Go, as if it was aimed at Cai Cheng, and didn't even bother the boat that deliberately talked in Chinese, and the river was weak, Jin Wushu didn't bother to care about the messenger of the other party, and both passed by directly.

   However, after this ship, Jin Wushu never encountered a Han ship, so he arbitrarily sailed, holding a hip flask in the middle of the Huai River, and carefully observed the military situation on both sides of the strait.

However, after this observation, Jin Wushu felt more and more embarrassed... The strength and completeness of Xia Caicheng has not been mentioned, he has already known it in the past few days, and under the Palgong Mountain facing the southeast of Xia Caicheng. , But it is also a dangerous mountain and a strong camp!

Not only that. At this time, looking carefully, the Bagong Mountain is just a part of a whole mountain range (Xiashi Mountain), or it is an independent extension, and this mountain (Xiashi Mountain) blocks the north and south of the Huaihe River~www.NovelMTL.com~ The terrain is difficult. The north is Xia Cai, the south is Shouchun, and there are north and south Fei Shui in the Huai Shui under the mountain. The terrain is really complicated. Just talk about Palgong Mountain. The reason why this mountain is famous is that it is located between the main roads of this complex terrain. If you want to cross the river from here, two serious and wide roads are shaded on the left and right of Palgong Mountain. , And Song Jun had built a fort here long ago!

Moreover, Jin Wushu is the fourth son of A Gu, only twenty-five and sixty this year, so on the one hand, he has participated in most of the major wars of the rise of the Kingdom of Jin almost all the way as a middle and low-level officer, and he has professional Jurchen soldiers on his body. Uniquely rough, barbaric, cruel and cunning; on the other hand, Jin Guo has been established for 13 years. As an appropriate prince, he also came into contact with the most advanced culture of this era very early, and was greatly influenced by it. A high degree of cultural education, and broadened his horizons during the Southern and Northern Wars...

Today, he came to the river in the snow, on the one hand because he was the head coach and wanted to find a way out for the current situation, so he had to perform the duties of a military commander and come to spy on the reality in person, just as his father was dying of illness and was going to Juyongguan. The front-line inspections are general; on the other hand, there are also complex thoughts deep in the heart. They not only look down on the vulgarity of those Jurchen veterans, but also look down on the pretentiousness of the Liao and Song descendants, so they want to escape.

The heavy snow flew, Jin Wushu entered the Huai with a small boat, looked at the mountains and rivers, and looked at the sky and sighed. He was still watching the military deployments carefully, but at the end, with half a pot of wine, he actually forgot his own way. Fan's true purpose is rather silly standing in the river.

PS: I am extremely grateful to the world’s pyrotechnics and Chaos 7th Shanghai League, I let Xiao Jiu kowtow to make up, this new book period is just 27 cute...It should be excited, but I don’t know why, but a little trembling. .
