Song Dynasty

Chapter 250 Wang Shen's Worry ([-])
To be honest, since the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji came to the throne, he has extorted violently, expropriated flowers and stones, built Genyue, built palaces and temples, which has made the people miserable and the class conflicts are extremely sharp.

During his reign, civil uprisings continued one after another, among which Fang La, the most famous, swept across the entire Jiangnan.Emperor Daojun wasted hundreds of millions of military funds, and ordered Tong Guan, who was still fighting Zhang, to lead Wang Teng and Liu Yanqing, the elite of the Western Army who was Liu Guangshi's father, to wipe them out.

After annihilating Fang La and pacifying the south of the Yangtze River, the elite Western Army took advantage of the great victory to march northward to conquer Liao and recover Yanyun.

It is a pity that in Hebei, the Western Army met Xiao Qian, the king of the fourth army of the Liao Kingdom, and Yelu Dashi, the outstanding man of the Liao people.In the Battle of Baigouhe, the entire elite regiment of the Western Army was wiped out, and the supplies accumulated for many years in the Northern Song Dynasty were completely destroyed.

After this great defeat, the so-called prosperous scene of the Taoist emperor's so-called flowers and brocade and fire cooking oil was instantly created, and this was the reason for the shame of Jingkang.

To be honest, at this time, except for the upper class of scholar-bureaucrats, the middle and lower classes of the entire empire were extremely disappointed and resentful towards the Zhao family.The family country is the home country of everyone, not just your Zhao family.When the Jurchen's mace fell, it fell on the heads of us ordinary people.

If it weren't for the fact that the Jurchens were cruel and easy to kill, they crazily squeezed the people.And this battle between Song and Jin was just like the previous Song and Tang civil wars. It is estimated that the people would not hesitate to abandon Zhao and Song, who had completely lost popular support.

However, this is already a time when the nation is in peril. No matter how dead the Zhao family is, they are still our own people.Once the Jurchens take over the world, everyone will become their slaves.

This is the reason for the anti-golden struggles in the Taihang Mountains and Shandong.

However, Liu Yu has now established a so-called regime belonging to the Han people in Hebei, which can confuse many people and make those who intend to surrender to the enemy have no psychological burden.

As a traverser, Wang Shen naturally knew the strength of the Jurchen's combat power, and this was the army that stood at the pinnacle of the cold weapon war.In the last battle of Jiankang, the strength of the enemy left a deep impression on him.

However, after entering the colorful world of the Central Plains, the Jurchens degenerated at a jaw-dropping lightning speed, their combat effectiveness plummeted, and they could no longer fight.According to historical data, when Wanyan Wushu was fighting Yue Fei in Henan, he conscripted Jurchen soldiers from all over the country, but in the end only tens of thousands of soldiers were recruited, and most of them went to the battlefield unwillingly.More people even directly refused to serve in the military. Everyone has a family, a farm, a house, and a slave.

For a long time to come, the protagonists on the battlefield between the Song Army and the Jurchen were replaced by the Song Army and the traitor army of the Puppet Qi.

At that time, the fighting power of the puppet Qi army was also amazing. In order to cooperate with the overall plan of Jin to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, the Liu Yu regime desperately gathered troops and recruited Jiangnan bandits to form the Twelfth Puppet Army.

With Li Qiong, Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, Xu Wen and other bandits as the generals of the army, the subordinates of these people are all elites of the former Western Army, and they have been tested by long-term wars, and they are extremely capable of fighting.If it weren't for a strong man like Grandpa Youyue in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is estimated that Zhao Laojiu would have been flattened by them.

Especially after Jin assigned the land of Shaanxi to Liu Yu, Liu Yu became stronger.

In this time and space, Li Qiong was still working under Liu Guangshi, Li Cheng had been recruited, and Kong Yanzhou had been beheaded by Wang Shen.There is only one Cao Cheng left, and he is worried that Cao Cheng will surrender to Liu Yu and become a shameful traitor, especially in the current embarrassing situation.

If that was the case, no one could guarantee that he would not go south to attack Anlu with the supplement of the Jurchen.

Hearing what Wang Shen said, An Niang also looked worried: "You have to be careful! Brother, what can I do?"

Wang Shen said in a low voice: "Actually, it's nothing. I'm going to Hunan this time. It's fine if Cao Cheng and other bandits don't come. When I kill Zhongxiang and return to Anlu, I will naturally send troops to Suizhou and take back Xiangyang along the way. Take the Nanyang Basin as our foundation. If they vote for Jurchen in advance and lead troops to fight, you don’t have to worry. I have already discussed with Lu Can, Gu Lie, and Hu Yantong. Stop with stillness, I will talk about everything when I come back, as for you..."

An Niang is so smart, she immediately understood: "Brother, are you asking Judge Chen Jun and I to sort out the internal affairs?"

Wang Shen: "That's right, Chen Da is ambitious and talented. But he has a big problem, he has a dark mind, a ruthless method, and likes to show off. Every time someone asks him to do something, this guy likes it." To magnify the problem, with you in control, there will be no chaos at home."

An Niang nodded: "I understand."

Wang Shen sighed slightly, and took her little hand: "You are a girl, I can't bear to let someone take over this family and suffer this burden. Our Sizhou Army is really short of talents."

Hearing his words, An Niang said, "Brother, go and come back quickly, Ying Xiang likes to cause trouble, if he did something wrong in Hunan this time, you can just punish him."

"I also want to go back quickly. There may be another change in Shaanxi. It is said that there will be no major changes in Shaanxi and Henan, but I have to go to Hunan." Wang Shen sighed slightly and smiled: "A whole I didn't see Ying Xiang in the morning, and tomorrow the army will set out to conquer, and he, the leading general, is not in the barracks, where did he go?"

An Niang hurriedly said: "Ying Xiang should go home to see his wife and children and say goodbye to them. I'll go and tell him to go."

Wang Shen held her hand tightly and shook his head: "Ying Xiang is traveling far for the first time since marrying Mrs. Du's family. Don't worry, let the three of them talk to each other. We have to be unkind."

An Niang said kindly: "Ying Xiang came to ask me the day before yesterday, asking me to name his baby. I think this marriage was agreed upon by you, and the first male in our Yue family's name should be named by your eldest brother." You come and get it." Speaking of her newborn nephew, she was full of joy.

Just the day before yesterday, Yue Yun's wife gave birth to a boy. The boy weighed nine catties, and after a full day of tossing in his mother's stomach, the baby fell to the ground reluctantly.

If it wasn't for the strong and healthy young lady of the Du family, she would have been tormented to death by that child.At that time, An Niang was by the Du's wife's side.Whenever Mrs. Du was about to lose her strength, she shouted loudly: "Hold on, work hard, don't give up. Men are fighting outside, and this is the battlefield for us women. You can't lose, hold on!"

Thinking of the baby who was made of the same model as Yue Yun, Wang Shen couldn't help laughing: "Let's call it Yue Fu!"

"What assistant?" An Niang asked.

"That kid is tall and strong, like a calf?" Wang Shen saw An Niang's round arm like a white lotus root exposed outside the sleeve, and his heart skipped a beat. He stretched out his right index finger and wrote the word "Fu" on it.

Only then did An Niang understand, and she rejoiced in her heart, and said: "There is a grass in the east, and you can hunt with words and deeds. I hope this child will grow strong like a new seedling in the field, and I will be safe for the rest of my life."

Wang Shen smiled and said: "That's exactly what I mean, An Niang is really knowledgeable."

His fingers were still scratching An Niang's arm.

An Niang belonged to a woman with small bones and a plump body, she couldn't bear the itch immediately, she giggled and said, "Don't scratch, brother, I'll go tell Ying Xiang that his baby has a name, and tell him to go back to the barracks earlier."

There was a ray of tenderness in Wang Shen's heart, how could he let An Niang go, hugged her, and said with a smile: "The husband and wife are saying goodbye, so don't be a troublesome ghost. Just now we talked about the business, now it's time to talk It's a private matter, An Niang, don't you have anything else to say to me?"

Being hugged by him, An Niang's whole body softened, her face was full of peach blossoms, she couldn't help but feel ashamed: "I... I, I, I... I have nothing to say to you..."

"Really not?"

"No, brother, go back to the barracks!"

"Just drive me away in such a hurry." Wang Shen suddenly lowered his head and kissed An Niang's earlobe: "I will marry you when I come back, before using troops against Xiangyang."

After finishing speaking, he laughed and stood up: "I'll go!"

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw a slender woman bringing a maid over.

When I saw him, I was very happy: "I have met the general myself."

Wang Shen saw that it was Kong Lin, Kong Xian's younger sister.

In order to avoid suspicion, Wang Shen has not returned to the inner house for a long time, and he lives in the barracks on weekdays, and only comes to Xingyuan once a day to deal with daily affairs.Speaking of which, this was the first time he saw Miss Kong Er in recent months.

Compared to before, Kong Lin seems to have developed a little more, her skin is so soft that it can be broken, and she is even more beautiful.

The reason why I kept her in the mansion at the beginning was that the relationship between myself and her was a bit embarrassing, let her live first, and explain it later; Too many, with Kong Xian's little salary, I'm afraid it won't be able to support so many people, so Wang Shen will be responsible for their food and clothing for the time being.

Wang Shen is a person who doesn't like to make trouble for himself, and he is a bit masculine, and he is busy with affairs, so he doesn't have time to take care of this little girl's affairs.

He originally planned to wait until Jianghan was completely pacified, or even after Xiangyang was taken, and the officers of the various armies were properly settled, before handing over the little girl and the family members of the Kong family to Kong Xian.By that time, General Kong Shao should be able to afford the food and drink of so many people!

Seeing Kong Lin, Wang Shenxu gave her a hand, motioned her to get up, and asked gently: "So it's Miss Kong Er, you're still used to living in the mansion/"

Not only did she answer, but she then said: "If you need anything, just talk to Mrs. An."

After all, he walked away.

Second Miss Kong slowly raised her head and looked at Wang Shen's figure walking like a tiger, but her eyes were filled with tears.

Yes, she saw all the scenes in the yard earlier.

Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Wang Shen for several months, and the longing in Miss Kong Er's heart was like a knife stabbing randomly.It's a pity that the front of Xingyuan is an important place, even if you want to, you can't go there.

Just now, when she heard that the envoy Wang Jun had returned, she hurried over without any reservations.

But... Dao Si unexpectedly... He looked at me so indifferently, could it be that he didn't have a heart?
"Sister Kong family, you are here." An Niang's voice came from the courtyard, and there was joy in it.

Kong Lin hurriedly wiped her eyes, and replied with a smile: "Yes, I want to come and talk to my sister today."

……

After leaving the camp, Wang Shen saw Yue Yun coming out in military uniform, and said with a smile, "Ying Xiang, why are you in such a hurry to go back to the barracks when you're not at home with your wife and children?"

Yue Yun shouted: "As the commander of an army, the army is about to go out, and you are still staying at home. How should the soldiers look at me, and how will I lead the army in the future?"

Wang Shen smiled: "You can't stand your wife's troubles, you want to hide away, I understand why you insisted on going to Hunan in the first place."

Yue Yun scratched his head and said with a smile: "You can't hide it from the military envoy. The mother-in-law at home talks too much. Sometimes she tells me to eat less wine, then she says I eat too much meat, and sometimes she dislikes my smelly body and goes to bed without washing my feet." Straight mother thief, getting married is really boring. If I had known this, I would have tried my best not to marry a wife. But my child is very good, and I will definitely be a warrior when I grow up. Speaking of which, that woman gave birth to my Yue family. Having such a child is considered a great contribution, I have no choice but to let her go."

Hearing what he said was funny, Wang Shen couldn't help laughing loudly: "Sure enough, I guessed it."

Yue Yun: "I heard that the Jurchen army in Xiangyang has been transferred to Shaanxi, military envoy, after we go to Hunan to put down the demons and come back, if we use troops against Xiangyang, I still have to fight in the vanguard, and we must carry the Wei army. "

"That's natural." At this point, a trace of worry suddenly flashed in Wang Shen's heart, and he thought to himself: Zhang Jun has been in Shaanxi for a while, and he will not listen to my advice and still organize the West as in real history. The rest of the army and the main force of the Jurchen will have a decisive battle, right?Otherwise, why did the information from Chen Da these days say that the main force of the Jurchens in Xiangyang and even Henan were transferred to Shaanxi, obviously preparing for a decisive battle on an unprecedented scale.

Could it be that the Battle of Fuping still happened as it did in real history?
The consequences of this war were serious. After this battle, not only the entire territory of Shaanxi fell, but even the last strength of the Western Army was completely wiped out by Jurchen.Since then, Shaanxi has not been able to return to the hands of the Han people until the Ming Dynasty.

If the Jurchens occupy Guanzhong, coupled with the Wushu of Henan, it will be like a horn. Jianghan and Xiangyang are located between two major geopolitical forces, directly cutting off the connection between Henan and Shaanxi, and even endangering Henan. The target to hit first.

At that time, will the Sizhou army be able to withstand the power of Jurchen's entire country?
"Zhang Deyuan, Zhang Deyuan, that day someone explained the truth to you, what are you doing in Shaanxi?" Wang Shen thought to himself, "It seems that the matter in Hunan must be resolved as soon as possible. When the matter over there is over, I will The army quickly returned to the division and attacked Xiangyang, hoping to relieve some military pressure for the Shaanxi Western Army."

"As for Du Chong's secret letter asking me to deal with Li Cheng, I have an old relationship with Li Tianwang... a man is upright, how can I do it?" Wang Shen couldn't help laughing bitterly, "Lan Ruo, Lan Ruo, we meet again."

There seemed to be that chic and bright woman again in front of her eyes, her spear was like lightning, her horse was like a dragon, and her body was full of dazzling flowers and embroidery.
