Song Dynasty

Chapter 307 Battle Results ([-])

After discussing the captives, Wang Shen said: "Although Yang Yao escaped, I have killed all the so-called civil and military officials of the Mani demon sect and the puppet Chu state, and I have completely wiped out the demon sect. Resurrection."

Although he knew that Yang Yao would re-raise the incident a year later, the momentum would be even bigger than before, but Wang Shen didn't want to spoil everyone's interest by mentioning this matter again.

"You guys have worked hard in this battle. The army hastened to rest and reorganize. All armies have a three-day holiday. After ten days, the troops will return to their hometown."

"Finally we can go back to our hometown." All the generals smiled.

This time I came to Hunan for two months and fought dozens of battles, large and small.Especially the guerrilla war with the small group of Manichaeists, which made everyone physically and mentally exhausted and bored.

Now everything is finally over, you can have a vacation, and you can go home and reunite with your family.

"Go in, let's go!" A group of guards pushed two people in.

These two people, Niu Gao, knew each other, one was Zhong Ziang, Zhong Xiang's fake prince, and the other was Yang Qin, Yang Yao's capable general.

In the scuffle in the early hours of the morning, these two people did not escape as well as Yang Yao, but now they are prisoners of the Sizhou Army.

Speaking of this Yang Qin, he is considered a rare warrior in the Manichaeism. From Niu Gao's point of view, his martial arts are not much inferior to his own.In Mingjiao, at least it can be ranked in the top ten.Because of this, and because he and Yang Yao were originally clan relatives, Yang Yao was highly valued by him.

During the days when he sneaked into Lianyun Village, Niu Gao had also gotten close to him, both of them were bold people, and they had a good personal relationship.

I saw that Yang Qin was covered in blood and his face was pale. It was obvious that he had many injuries on his body.For some reason, seeing his appearance, Niu Gao felt a little sad in his heart, buried his head down, and couldn't bear to see this man end up in the current situation.

Niu Gao didn't want to meet him, but Yang Qin recognized him and his eyes lit up: "Brother Tie Zhu, Brother Tie... Hey, it seems that you are the secret agent sent by Wang Xianggong to my teaching, so naturally you are not named Tie, Also ask for advice."

With a cold face, Niu Gao cupped his hands: "I am the regiment training envoy of the Great Song Dynasty. Now Jingbei Road and Xiangyang North Road are recruiting the Zhizhi envoy Wang Daosi to serve under his command. Brother Tie need not mention it."

Yang Qin sighed: "It turned out to be Brother Niu. Although you and I are our own masters, our personal friendship is still there. Brother Niu, I just want to ask how Brother Yao is doing now? It is really worrying not to hear from Brother Yao."

Niu Gao: "It's my incompetence that made Mrs. Yang fight a bloody path and get out of Wang Xianggong's net. Just now, Niu has already received twenty army sticks from Xianggong."

"I'm so sorry, brother Yao is fine, as long as he's fine... Where's sister?"

Niu Gao: "Ximei didn't escape."

"What!" Yang Qin yelled, shuddered, and then sighed again: "She still hasn't escaped, poor thing!" As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes.

In terms of seniority, Yang Qin and Ximei are cousins, but they are nearly twenty years older.When he was in the country before, he watched this little girl grow up. It's better to be a sibling than a sibling.

Hearing that she had been captured, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Seeing his sad look, Niu Gao couldn't bear it, and said: "Brother Yang Qin, Niu is [-] years old and hasn't married yet. Mr. Wang Daosi has promised her to Niu Gao to be his wife just now, but it is Mrs. An, the mistress. Bao's matchmaker. Niu Gao swore to take care of her for the rest of her life, so you don't have to worry about it."

"In that case, that's good, that's good." Yang Qin sighed and said nothing.

Niu Gao couldn't bear it anymore, walked out with a limp leg, cupped his hands and said to Wang Shen: "Master, brother Yang Qin is a kind man, he never does evil, he is a good man with integrity, please spare his life from the military envoy. Niu Gao is willing to guarantee it with his family and life."

Yang Qin shook his head: "Brother Tie, no, Brother Niu, Yang Qin fully appreciates your kindness. The so-called loyal ministers do not serve two masters, and virgins do not change second husbands. It is absolutely impossible for me to vote for Wang Shen."

Hearing this, the other generals of the Sizhou army were furious and shouted: "What a surnamed Yang, my big brother Niu pleaded for you with his wealth and life, but he doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, so he can't kill you!"

Yang Qin: "Just want to die!" He closed his eyes.

Wang Shen was furious, he drew out the Great City Saber with a clang, stepped forward and slashed down with a "shua".

Niu Gao felt a pain in his heart.

But the expected blood rush did not appear.

It turned out that Wang Shen's knife did not cut off Yang Qin's head, but cut the rope on his body.

Yang Qin opened his eyes and looked at Wang Shen suspiciously.

"Sure enough, he is a loyal man. It would be a pity to kill him. I don't want you to surrender, so I will leave you to take care of Niu Gao. Niu Gao, watch him." Wang Shen threw the big city knife to Niu Gao: "You are rewarded."

Niu Gao liked it very much, took the knife, and pulled Yang Qin to kneel down: "Thank you, Mr. Xianggong, thank you, Mr. Xianggong."

Seeing that Wang Shen had spared his life, Yang Qin felt grateful and kowtowed three times: "I am willing to die for my husband!"

"Haha, get up!" Wang Shen was happy.In fact, after hearing Niu Gao say that this person is Yang Qin just now, he wanted to recruit this person.

This Yang Qin was an incredible figure in real history. After Zhong Xiang was wiped out, he was already the number one warrior of the Ming Cult, and he caused a lot of trouble for the Yue family army who went to conquer.

Later, Yue Fei resorted to soft and hard methods to recover this person.

Later, Yang Qin became the commander of the Yue Family Army's water army, a rare talent in water warfare.

Breaking Lianyunzhai today, and gaining such a general again, the harvest is not small.When Yang Yao occupies Dongting Lake in the future, Yang Qin can be of great use.

Just as he was laughing, suddenly, a voice howled mournfully: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender, Mr. Wang, I am willing to go for your cattle and horses, and you can go anywhere."

As he spoke, he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed.

It was Zhong Ziang who called out.

Wang Shen chuckled: "Zhong Ziang, are you willing to surrender me?"

Zhong Ziang cried: "Yes, yes."

Wang Shen: "Are you kidding? You are the prince of the false Chu court! Your father was beheaded by me, so you are the emperor of the false Chu. If you don't work as a good official, why do you want to be my subordinate?"

Zhong Ziang: "What kind of prince am I, and what kind of official do I do? It's all just a joke, my lord, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Wang Shen's face turned cold: "Your demon sect has ravaged Hunan, killing thousands of miles of people in the Dongting Lake area, and the blood of the people is stained on your hands. Such a serious crime is just a joke? If I don't kill you, how can I feel sorry for Hunan? Common people, how can you be worthy of the imperial court, how can you be worthy of God? If you want to do justice for the heaven today, don't blame me."

"Don't kill me, don't kill me." Zhong Ziang was a man when he was on the battlefield, but he was completely cowardly when it came to life and death.His face was full of snot and tears: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it. You said that I killed countless people, but Zhong Ziang was not the only one who killed people. Did he, Li Cheng, kill fewer people than my father and son? Why don't you take it?" His head? Isn’t it because he wears the official hat of the imperial court? The imperial court, the imperial court is a fart. Over the years, the people who have been forced to death by exorbitant taxes and starved to death are more than those who died under the sword of our father and son. My father and son are here During the Jingkang period, Shangsi led his troops to the north to drive out the Tartars. What did his Zhao family do? They retreated without a fight, surrendered without a fight, and lost most of the country to the Jurchens. The people who died under the sword of the Jinren are far more than that. Ten million, thanks to your officials and the court, why don't you go to do justice for the sky?"

What he said made everyone dumbfounded and wanted to refute, but they didn't know what to say.

As for Chen Lanruo's cavalry generals, they all lowered their heads in shame when they heard Zhong Ziang say that Li Cheng had killed as many people as the Manichaeans.They are all from the old Western Army, and they still have the conscience of a Song soldier and the pride of a Guanzhong man in their hearts.

Although he didn't participate in the massacre of the people in Hunan, he was a soldier of Li's army after all, so he suddenly felt red in the face.

Some people couldn't help thinking: Li Tianwang, Li Tianwang, what kind of king is he.When Laozi used to work under the leadership of Lao Zhong and Xiao Zhong, Li Cheng was just a country tyrant.Following him now is really losing the virtue of our Western Army heroes.

Wang Shen snorted: "The words are unreasonable. Someone dragged him down to rectify the law on the spot. He and Zhong Xiang's heads were carefully pickled with musk, ice flakes, and lime. They were rushed to the Jiankang Mansion Du Xianggong's Xingyuan to report to him. Great victory in Hunan!"

Two wolf-like soldiers dragged Zhong Ziang down.

Zhong Ziang's voice came: "I don't accept it, I don't accept it, what is doing justice for the heavens, I am just a lackey of the Zhao family! I advise you, the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooked, the birds are exhausted, and the bow is good. The more you fight now, the more you will be punished." Ji, surnamed Zhao, I am a prince, and I understand the emperor's mind best... I watched the sky at night, and I was enlightened by the Great Ming. The luck of the Great Song Dynasty has come to an end... It is coming to an end... There are strong enemies in the north , there is an internal trouble in the South, and it will soon be destroyed. If you know the current affairs, find a way out as soon as possible... Ah!"

All the generals in the room looked thoughtful.

Wang Shen: "An ugly person who speaks nonsense about the number of days, death is not a pity!"

After beheading Zhong Ziang's head, Wang Shen immediately asked Kuaima to take the victory report to Jiankang Duchong.Now, the banditry has been reduced, and the water transportation of the Yangtze River is basically smooth, and it goes quickly.If there is no accident, you can go to Jinling in half a month.

For a while, Wang Shen was only concerned with using troops against Hunan, and he didn't know how Du Chong was doing with the move of the capital to Jiankang Mansion that Du Chong had proposed.If things come true, Du Chong's authority will be even greater than it is now.

Although Du Chong's IQ is not too high, his methods are cruel and his action is amazing.With him in the court hall, he could have fought Qin Hui in the ring, if not, there would be nothing wrong with Qin Hui.

The problem now is that after he made great achievements in annihilating Zhong Xiang, the official title may have to be promoted, and the matter of sending his family members to the capital cannot be delayed any longer.

Thinking of this, Wang Shen felt dizzy.
