The struggle of the reborn prince

The camp of the Song Army outside Zhaozhou City was dead silent, and even the generals in the camp hung their heads in a dejected look. It was already noon, but there was no smoke rising from the kitchen. Walking around, one can't help but feel that this is an empty camp.

"Zheng Ping, we've been eating compressed dry food for three days, why are you giving us this again today?" The lunch meeting was being held in the handsome tent, and there were several plates of compressed dry food, two plates of dried meat, and a pot of water on the table. Wei picked up a piece of hard dry food and shook it and said.

"Today's is different from yesterday's. Today's is peanut-flavored. I'm still reluctant to take it out to entertain guests on weekdays!" Zheng Ping said with a smile, not turning against Jiang Wei's 'rudeness'.

"Peanuts cost a hundred cents a catty in Beijing, and they are more expensive than mutton. You still don't want to eat them." Zhang Shengkui, the commander of the Krupp Army, broke off a piece and chewed it in his mouth.

"Yeah, this one is better than the soybeans in the past, and it's quite delicious to chew." Li Gong, the commander of the dragon, said after eating with relish, wiping the scum of dry food stuck to the corner of his mouth.

"Jiang Wei, let's eat something anyway, it's better than starving. Besides, the compressed dry food is much more delicious than what His Majesty made back then." Zheng Ping wolfed down the broken dry food~~book~bar~ .nsb.om After eating, he quickly poured down a large glass of water and said, judging by the way he ate it, he knew it was wrong. "Don't mention what happened back then..." Listening to people's persuasion to eat enough, I just picked up a piece of compressed dry food and prepared to eat it. When I heard Zheng Ping's words, I felt dry for a while. I couldn't eat any more, so I grabbed a few pieces of dried meat He chewed vigorously and stopped breathing.

"Du Tong, is there an allusion to this?" Zhang Shengkui looked at Zheng Ping's depressed look and leaned over to ask in a low voice. Li Gong also stretched his ears curiously to hear some inside information.

"It's a long story..." Zheng Ping said with a wry smile, looking at the curious two people on the left and right.Zhang Shengkui was not born in Beifu, but the group of people selected from the Imperial Army when His Majesty went to the Northwest.Li Gong joined the army even later, when Zhao Yong was ordered to go to Canliao to form the Krupp army.Of course, I don't know what happened back then.

"I warn you that it's best not to say anything, or I will commit a crime of disrespect and let His Majesty chop off your head!" Jiang Wei said angrily, obviously not wanting people to know the embarrassing things that happened many years ago.

"Hehe, it's not a secret. There are too many people who know about it. If His Majesty wants to chop off people's heads for this, I'm afraid there will be no one in the court." Zheng Ping rolled his eyes and ignored Jiang. Wei, he said to the two people beside him. "You don't know that this dry food was invented by His Majesty back then. At that time, he had just returned to Beijing from Xiangyi, and when he had nothing to do, he made all kinds of dry food. In order to verify whether it can be stored for a long time, and whether it can be Unable to satisfy their hunger, they made a large amount of dry food and let the guards, servants, servants, and staff members of the mansion try it... Tsk tsk, I really don’t know how I survived those days!” “Oh, it must be the dry food made by His Majesty Much more delicious than those produced in workshops, Dutong and Commander Jiang were used to eating them in the palace, so now they can't eat this kind of workshop." Li Gong said in a 'suddenly' way.

"Fart, it's not as delicious as these! But His Majesty forced us to eat it intermittently for a year. We often ate this for more than ten days in a row from morning to night, and the whole palace almost rebelled." Jiang Wei couldn't bear it any longer. I couldn't help but said loudly.

"Haha..." Li Gong and Zhang Shengkui froze for a moment.Then he laughed, that's how it is.This thing is okay for a temporary emergency, and they couldn't swallow it after eating it for three days.Think about how Jiang Wei and Zheng Ping ate it for so long, of course they felt nauseated when they saw it, how could they eat it.

"Jiang Wei, how dare you utter obscenities about the dry food invented by His Majesty, believe it or not, I will kill you right now?" Zheng Ping didn't laugh, and said sharply.

"As long as you don't let me eat this, you can kill me now and you won't complain." Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei said without fear, poking his neck.

"You... you'd better eat some, please! Hold on for a few more days, and when you defeat Wan Yan Yuying, I'll roast lamb for you every day." Zheng Ping almost cried in anger. He immediately changed his face and begged.

"It's almost the same, but we have to wait for a few days!" Jiang Wei also said with a mournful face.In fact, he was so noisy because he was 'dissatisfied' with Zheng Ping about the withdrawal of troops that day.

On that day, the lion generals withdrew from Shaliang under the support of the dragon generals, and then Jiang Wei demanded to launch a counterattack immediately to drive the enemy into the river. If it is done, it will not only cause great casualties to the Jin army, but also take advantage of the trend to occupy Zhaozhou.But his suggestion was rejected by Zheng Ping. Although it was Zhao Li's decision and it was for the victory of the whole battle, Jiang Wei still had a grudge.

In this battle, the lion generals fought in a hurry from the middle of the night to seizing Shaliang, and the subsequent fierce offensive and defensive battle. It can be said that they fought extremely passively, with more than a thousand casualties.Ordinarily, the battle damage was insignificant compared to the Jin army, but this was the first time that the lion general suffered such a serious injury, so Jiang Wei wanted to avenge this revenge, and the general's order must not be violated, so he resorted to finding Zheng Ping's troubles ', to vent their dissatisfaction.These days, in order to deceive Jin Jun and create the illusion of lack of food, Song Jun did not raise fire and ate dry food every day, so he found an excuse...

…………

Wanyan Yuying is full of good things these days.The first battle in Zhaozhou made him a king and lieutenant, and became famous all over the world. He has become the leader of the new generation of generals in the Kingdom of Jin.Moreover, he has won the trust and respect of the emperor and the grand master. Now that he is holding a heavy army, everyone knows that as long as he can successfully repel the Song army on the West Road and turn the capital into safety, then he will become the hero of the Great Jin Kingdom and the grand master's leader. Future successor.

But Wanyan Yuying was not happy all the time, not only faced with the coming war, but also fear and anxiety about lying about the results of the battle.Exaggerating great achievements has never been new in the army since ancient times. It is understandable for Wanyan Gouying to do this to stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale. thrown into the river at night.

Watching tens of thousands of fragmented corpses drifting down the river and slowly sinking to the bottom of the river, dyeing the river pink, Wanyan Yuying couldn't express her feelings at that time.These soldiers are the last bones and blood of the Jurchen clan. In order to realize their plan, they rushed up and fell down without hesitation. Countless evil spirits and fierce ghosts roared and screamed on the river, demanding their lives.

In addition, there is no news of the troops attacking Changchun City so far, and it is not known whether they succeeded, which also made Wanyan Quyingcheng feel uneasy.At the same time, he has to face the expectations of all parties. The lingering Song Army's next battle plan is uncertain, which puts him under tremendous pressure. Unable to relieve his depression, he can only turn to the gods for help. He goes to the Buddhist temple in the city every day Shangxiang blesses himself to be victorious in all battles, and pays for the monks to do a dojo for the victims, so that the ghosts can be reborn as soon as possible, in order to obtain their own spiritual comfort.

After several days of torment, as the Jiangbei army continued to gather from all walks of life, Wanyan Yuying regained his confidence.And the troops who attacked Changchun City finally sent back the news. After three days of uninterrupted attacks, the Song Army suffered heavy casualties and gradually disappeared. On the occasion, he set fire to the warehouse.However, the Song army's returning reinforcements had already cut off their way back, so they could only avoid their edge and turn to Longzhou.It was heard that the grain and supplies had been destroyed, and the West Route Army deployed Zhao Li to collect grain and grass, preparing to send troops to Zhaozhou again.

Wanyan Yuying breathed a sigh of relief, this can be said to be an unexpected joy, at first he did not expect the surprise soldiers he sent to capture Changchun City, but only hoped to force the Song army to retreat, or divide the troops, so that he could annihilate its vanguard military.Now the Song army has only two ways to collect food and grass again.One is to collect food on the spot, and there are still some days before the autumn harvest, and the grain reserves are not enough to meet the long-term needs of an army of [-];In addition, the bullets and gunpowder needed for guns cannot be assembled within a few days, which gave me time to calmly encircle and wipe out the Song army stationed outside Zhaozhou City.

Everything is ready, and the opportunity to fight is becoming more and more mature. Wanyan Gouying ordered the Jiangbei army to cross the river overnight to surround the Song army camp. In order to completely destroy the Song army's Northern Expedition, Taishi Wushu also spent his money. All the troops stationed in Muke and Meng'an were mobilized, and part of the Jiangfang troops were all handed over to Wanyan Yuying's command. In addition to the troops of his headquarters, tens of thousands of troops had gathered in Zhaozhou City, far surpassing the Song army.

However, under the situation of superior military force, Wanyan Gouying was still cautious. He just ordered to strengthen the raid and surveillance of the Song army camp outside Zhaozhou City, and to encircle the enemy without attacking.Because the battle of Shaliang a few days ago made him fully understand the powerful combat effectiveness of the Song army in defensive operations. If he forced an attack, even if he could annihilate the Song army, he would pay a huge price.So he was waiting, waiting for this lone army to run out of food and grass, and when they were too hungry to mount their horses, he would beat the dogs in the water.

After several days of siege, the besieged Song army also realized that they could not wait for reinforcements, and began to try to break through, but they were repelled after several attempts, as if they were surrounded by iron barrels.And Wanyan Yuying also found that the Song army hadn't raised the fire for many days, indicating that they had run out of food and grass and had no rice to cook, and they would kill horses to satisfy their hunger in a few days, and then they would perish.

But just when Wanyan Yuying was about to launch a decisive battle, news suddenly came from the Jiangbei camp, which made him feel as if he had been hit by five thunders, and he almost didn't faint—a brigade of the Song army suddenly appeared on the opposite bank of the river in Yichun, and was about to cross the river. Quickly deploy troops for reinforcements, but he knows that Jiangnan has no soldiers to dispatch...
