Chapter 631 Zeguo Jiangshan enters the battle map ([-])
The fierce fighting on and off the city wall lasted for a whole day, and it didn't stop until the second day, at noon on September [-]th.
When Xue Changgong retreated from the city wall, his body was already injured. He was hit by an arrow, and the rest were scratched by the arrow.For some reason, he felt that the Jurchen siege this time was not as violent as last time, but it still put enormous pressure on the soldiers in the city.
When the subordinates began to count the wounded soldiers, a flag appeared far from the northwest of Bianliang.
There was a bang on the city wall, and everyone was running desperately to the defensive position. Xue Changgong squinted his eyes and looked over there. Not far from the front of the city gate, his superior was holding a long cylindrical object. Look from afar.Not long after, there was an excited voice, and it sounded loudly——
*****************
On the afternoon of September [-]th, Li Yan left Bianliang through the west gate of the city where no battle had been fought.The two battlegrounds came to the Jurchen barracks. After the notification, the battle on the other side of the city wall continued.Wanyan Zongwang and a group of Jurchen generals received him, and there was a chill atmosphere in the big tent.
Different from the generosity and resignation to death in the Golden Palace, in the camp, Li Di hardly negotiated conditions with Zongwang, and all the conditions were agreed to, as if he wanted to scare his Jurchen generals with a black face Quite boring, the two sides signed a peace treaty and listed everything according to Zongwang's previous request.
That night, Li Dian was left in the Jurchen army camp, but the Jurchens did not give up attacking the city. On the one hand, they sent the peace treaty back to Bianliang City, and on the other hand, they were still attacking the city wall of Bianliang.
In the early morning of the same day, Zhou Zhe used his seal on the contract and sent it out of the city.When it was close to noon the next day, Zong Wang picked an hour, and Li Die formally submitted the peace treaty.
They were not worried that the people of the Wu Dynasty would not accept their account, but when they released Li Di, something changed...
*****************
"The commander-in-chief is here! The Western Army is here! The Western Army has a million troops..."
"Old general Zhong! The leader of Zhong Shaobao, King Qin, has arrived at the city of Bianliang! The Jurchen army retreated upon hearing the news—"
A large amount of news flooded the entire capital within half a day.Bianliang was boiling, and Shi Shi also came out of the building to join in the fun and watch the Zhong family army enter the city.
Zhou Zhe was also taken aback by the sudden good news. At this time, Li Yan had already returned with the peace agreement. He hesitated for a while, and took a dragon chariot out of the palace to greet him at the city gate.Seeing the excitement in the city, Cai Jing was recruited again.
"I didn't think carefully about the peace negotiation, and I regretted it. Now it seems that I have misunderstood this matter. With such a humiliating agreement, after my death, how can I have the face to meet my ancestors. Grand Master, Look at this peace agreement, I want to go back on my word. Is there still time?"
Cai Jing lowered his brows and thought for a moment: "The Holy Majesty is able to think clearly and rein in the precipice. It's really gratifying...uh." He suddenly reacted in the middle of the sentence, and knelt on his knees. The holy majesty will punish you!"
Zhou Zhe waved his hand generously: "It's okay, it's okay, I just lost my mind and thought about the wrong thing. The fact that the grand master can say this shows that you don't agree with me from the beginning, and you just sit back and watch me make mistakes. Guilty! Grand Master, is there such a gap between you and me? In the heart of the Grand Master, have I become unable to listen to honest advice!?"
He spoke harshly at this time, Cai Jing became more sincere and fearful, and Zhou Zhe sighed afterwards: "It's okay, it's okay, both I and the Grand Master are at fault for this matter. Think clearly now, it's not too late, for the sake of the world For the sake of the common people, even if there is a breach of contract and infamy, I have no choice but to recite it, alas... Taishi, get up quickly, come, I will help you, you are the elder of the three dynasties, even though you are a minister, you are also my elder, if I make mistakes in the future , you should be blunt..."
The emperor's chariot drove all the way to the gate of the city, and he was received by a well-known veteran of the Western Army at this time, who was kind of a teacher.
For these years, the Western Army has been resisting the Xixia invasion in the northwest. As a general, because of its strength, it is actually quite feared by the court.Among the several families in the Western Army, the Zhong family is actually the strongest. Although the old commander Zhong Shi Dao's influence does not reach the capital, but in Shaanxi, he is an out-and-out king of the Northwest.
In the few years when the Wu Dynasty united with the Jin Dynasty to fight against the Liao Dynasty, Zhong Shidao kept giving advice to the capital, and put forward opposing opinions, but the impact was not great.But also because of this standpoint, Zhong Shidao offended Tong Guan, Wang Fu and others deeply. Two years earlier, the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, and Tong Guan took back the six prefectures of Yanyun. He became an official and has been living in seclusion ever since.
This time the Jin people went south, and the attack was menacing. The imperial court just made a strategy to use the Western Army. After receiving the order, Zhong Shidao set off immediately, joined Yao Pingzhong of the Yao family, led the Yao family with [-] cavalry, and replenished his troops after arriving in Luoyang It reached more than [-], and then went south with great fanfare.Arriving in Beijing this time, it is indeed because of his fame that the city is boiling up...
********************
An unusual atmosphere shrouded the capital, and at the same time, it also shrouded the camps of Wu Rui, Wu Wei, Wu Sheng and other armies.The news of the peace talks between the imperial court and the Jin people has already spread, but at the same time, there are still a lot of news.Among them, Zhong Shidao was granted the title of Shao Fu, the Privy Council of Tongzhi, and the Xuanfu envoy of Lianghe in Gyeonggi. The job of the prime minister.
The situation in the capital was changing, but the Jurchen had once again stood still, and only sent envoys into the city to let the Wu Dynasty fulfill the peace treaty quickly, but the Wu Dynasty began to delay.In the various military camps outside the city, the atmosphere became more and more chill.
During this period of time, Zhou Zhe became a little embarrassed. He was the one who nodded at the peace negotiation, and the peace agreement had already been signed.On the surface, he said that he didn't care about breaking the contract, but the words of the Jurchen envoys in the court hall were getting worse and worse. He could not clearly express the breach of the contract, and he absolutely could not accept it.At this moment, he felt that many people below might have scolded him, and he couldn't even defend himself.
It is also because of this that he has a strong desire to fight a beautiful victory.
When Zhong Shidao and Yao Pingzhong came to Beijing, he warmly received these people.After all, Zhong Shidao was old, and he was already in a bad health when he came to Beijing, but his thoughts were very clear. After talking with him, Zhou Zhe knew that this person was indeed capable.And Yao Pingzhong, who was a young man of the Western Army, never disappointed him. Zhou Zhe felt that he was not the same as these generals in the court.
Although he was usually apprehensive, but at this time he could see the situation clearly, and only the Western Army was the best at fighting.
However, after handing over the unified command of hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city to Zhong Shidao, the old man seemed to be too cautious.At this time, all the divisions of the Western Army were gathering, and at the beginning of the way to the south, the Zhongshi had asked the Zhongshi to gather the Zhongjia army, and they were also on their way at this time.The old marshal who was ill believed that when all the armies were assembled and all contributions were made in one battle, the right way would be the right way.Yao Pingzhong has a different opinion on this, he thinks that the Wu Dynasty has been procrastinating at this time, there is something wrong, if the delay continues, the Jurchens are probably already prepared.Zhou Zhe also agrees with this.
He talked to Yao Pingzhong and Zhong Shidao several times, and soon after, Yao Gu, Yao Pingzhong's father, came with an army of [-], which made Zhou Zhe's heart even hotter, and kept urging the war.And in the process, he also saw through some other things.
He also talked about it when he played chess with the queen in the bedroom for several nights.
"Queen, I have also seen clearly that everyone has their own desires, no matter how old you are or what position you are in, it is inevitable."
"Why did His Majesty make such a statement?"
"When the old Mr. Zhong entered Beijing, the whole city cheered, saying that he is the king of the Northwest. It is not an exaggeration. In this battle, I have given him the command of hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, and Li Xiang will also Cooperating with him, and there are elite soldiers from the Yao family, he has been slow to move, queen, do you know why?"
The queen hesitated for a moment: "This battle is the fate of our Wu Dynasty, so we should be more cautious if we don't have enough species. The concubine thought to himself, is it inevitable?"
"There is indeed such a consideration." Zhou Zhe smiled, but he had already seen through everything in his heart, and paused slightly, "But he also considered that he didn't want Yao's army to steal this merit. 4 to 40 people. At this time, the army inside and outside the city is nearly [-]. Even if many people are unusable, they can still fight. It is said that a raging soldier is a raging general. Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu People like Yao Pingzhong and Yao Pingzhong are indeed famous generals in the world. They... may not be afraid of fighting, but in fact... well, they are all fighting for merit."
The emperor sighed and dropped his son.The queen was silent for a moment: "Then... what does His Majesty plan to do?"
"I have talked with them many times, and there are also hints in the words. I just hope that they can work together, regardless of each other, so..." The emperor, who had experienced various major events recently, paused, looking at the moon Then the voice turned slightly lower, "This...is the blessing of the Wu Dynasty, the blessing of the country..."
Chaotic situation, unpredictable people's hearts.Bits of changes inside and outside the city are gathered in the sky, and the weather is starting to turn cold.Near Qi County, on September 23, Ning Yi also felt the change in the atmosphere during the days of changes in the current situation. The situation in the capital also began to tighten.
As one of the managers of the secret investigation department, he can indeed grasp first-hand information about various changes in the current situation.On the other hand, Qin Shaoqian has also received first-hand information from the military.That afternoon, the two got together and exchanged messages.
"Tonight, Yao Pingzhong is going out of the city to discuss with us about dispatching troops. I don't think it is the intention of being a gentleman..." Qin Shaoqian was somewhat worried.
Ning Yi nodded: "The momentum of the teacher's way is too strong. When he entered Beijing, the whole city was shaken. People like Tong Guan and Wang Fu forced him to take office at the beginning, but now they are afraid of him, and the Holy One also treats him a little bit." Afraid. You know... Your Majesty was originally afraid of the Western Army."
"The relationship between my father and him is not good, but if we really want to fight, I think he is more reliable than the Yao family..."
Previously, Qin Yuyuan joined forces with the Jin Dynasty to resist the Liao Dynasty, and Qin Yuyuan was a staunch main fighter, and he was the direct behind-the-scenes pusher, so he didn't deal with Zhong Shidao who opposed this action.It's just that the way of teaching is an army system, so it directly confronts Tong Guan and others.But speaking of it now, Qin Shaoqian still has a little more trust in this world-renowned old man.
But as far as he is concerned, even as the top general of Wu Ruiying, these things are not something he can decide and choose.
That night, Yao Pingzhong came over and discussed things with the leaders of several armies...
****************
On September 24, the sun sets.
The whole land moved quietly.
The sun is not strong, the late autumn is passing away, the dead grass is flying in the sky, and winter is coming.
"Brother Yue!"
When he got near the courtyard, Ning Yi waved to him over there, Yue Fei walked over, some big cars were parked there, and many people followed.
Ning Yi handed him a military order.
"Brother Yue, come with us tonight, we have to... protect the things in the car." Ning Yi looked at the sky, "However, the weather may be a little bad tonight."
"Young Master Ning, are you going to start a war?"
"...It's possible." Ning Yi frowned and paused, "It's possible."
night begins to fall...
********************
In Moutuogang, in the Jurchen camp, everything was as usual. After nightfall, it gradually changed from noisy to quiet, and gradually, people fell asleep.
The scouts with strong martial arts avoided the patrolling Jurchen rangers and went back in the direction they came and went.In the Jurchen camp where everything was going on as usual, most of the armored soldiers had already walked out of their tents, lined up silently, and mounted their horses.
In the dark color, Zongwang was riding on his horse. Perhaps he felt some unusual aura. The horse shook his head slightly. Zongwang leaned down and stroked its neck: "Woo..." He lowered his head. said loudly.
"Tell me, why do people in the Wu Dynasty think that this king is afraid of that old man called Zhong Shidao?"
He whispered a word, and a large number of generals around him did not speak.
——On September [-]th, after Zhong Shidao arrived in Beijing, the Jurchens who were attacking the city quickly withdrew their troops. On the one hand, it was because the negotiations had ended, and on the other hand, they really did not want to fight on both sides.But this kind of normal tactical thinking seems to make the people of Wu Dynasty feel very excited. Since then, it has been rumored that the Jurchen retreated because of the arrival of the teacher.So soon after, when the Jurchen envoy entered Bianliang, under the instruction of Wanyan Zongwang, he was arrogant to other people, but still respected the way of being a teacher.
But as many people present—even Guo Yaoshi—couldn’t understand the reasons for the self-confidence of the people of Wu Dynasty. They said that the way of cultivating teachers was just resisting Xixia in the west. , is nothing more than a dead dog, but the record of the Jurchens has destroyed the entire Liao Kingdom in a few years.
But none of this mattered anymore.
After a while, Zong Wang whispered again: "Why are people from the Wu Dynasty so slow..."
……
The horse-ridden army walks across the dark fields.
Most of the infantry also packed their boots, carried their weapons, and moved forward in silence.
The wind blew over, and Yao Pingzhong raised his head.
In different directions, there are a total of 22 troops, and in this night, they are encircling Moutuogang!
……
Zong Wang rubbed the horse's neck, looking at the half-kneeling spies in front of him.This Jurchen military god has a rough face and a tall stature. His eyes are particularly bright and deep in the darkness.Inside, there are thousands of corpses.
"Order the whole army." He reined in the horse's reins, and said in a low voice, "Attack... trample them to death!"
"Yes."
Soon after, the sound of horseshoes turned into thunder, and huge waves rose in the darkness!
OK, the prelude is over, and the dance begins.
