Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 381 Wang Xiu's Way
Geng Nanzhong was still worried about Wang Xiu, and continued: "Since the crisis in the east of the river is in danger, Wang Xiu can lead the army northward."

Zhao Huan shook his head, and said: "An army is useless, but what Zhang Qing's family said is reasonable. Letting Wang Xiu return to the Privy Council is to give full play to his talents."

Zhang Qiyuan's thoughts moved, he hesitated a little, and said: "Wang Xiu is responsible for the mission, and assisting Mr. Zhong to defend against the enemy will surely stop the captives from attacking."

Geng Nanzhong's complexion changed drastically, and he glared at Zhang Qiyuan fiercely. This guy was simply leading a wolf into the house, and made Wang Xiu return to the Privy Council. If he really cooperates with the teacher's way to establish miraculous achievements, he will not be able to restrain him at that time.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xiu is the guardian of Mengzhou. He controls Heyang's dangerous situation. He must not leave easily. It is safe to enter Heyang."

Zhao Heng was a little absent-minded, and said helplessly: "Forget it, the two governments will discuss this matter before we discuss it. I don't know when the king will leave for the north, so I don't want to push too much." It is definitely not a good thing for the prince to go north. Sending him to death, even though he made his father into a mess, which was almost equivalent to confinement, but he still had to take care of his face.

Geng Nanzhong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the discussions between the two governments, glared at Zhang Qiyuan, and said relaxedly: "The sooner the better, the sooner we can reach an agreement with the gentlemen."

Zhang Qiyuan rolled his eyes at Geng Nanzhong, and said indifferently: "I also think it's better as soon as possible, and I would like to ask the king to leave for your majesty." With Geng Nanzhong as a hindrance, it seems that Wang Xiu's entry to Beijing is very unlikely, he can only take care of himself first.

"Lao Qing's family is here." Zhao Heng heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhang Qiyuan with admiration.

Due to the fall of Taiyuan, the West Route Army of the Jin Army marched south step by step, and the Jin Army on the East Route was even more powerful. Wuli could not enter from Jingxing Pass, defeated Song General Zhong Shimin, drove straight into Potianwei Army, and captured Zhendingfu. Liu Yong was defeated and hanged himself, and Li Miao, the magistrate, was captured.

Wu Shu drove an army of [-] horses to attack Zhongshan. Han Dang, Gao Sheng, and He Lusuo were the three leading soldiers. The dead soldiers attacked, Han Dang and Gao Sheng's two wings plundered, the entire [-] Song army was wiped out, seven lieutenants and above generals died in battle, the Jin army brutally slaughtered, and the military states on the two routes in Hebei were shaken.

Zhang Shuye, the head of the South Road, heard that the capital was empty, and immediately asked for troops to enter the guard. Qian Yi, the envoy of the Eastern Shaanxi Province, also led troops to come.

Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke flew to stop them, ordering the troops from all walks of life to garrison the original town, and they were not allowed to move without reason, so they had to turn back.The rest of the camps have received the order of truce, and they have firmly closed the gates. Regardless of foreign affairs, they turned a blind eye to how the Jin army burned, killed and looted. Only Gaoping's thousands of horse troops really fought the Jin army.

This guy was also very capable, he tore up the official documents of the Metropolitan Hall, and led the troops northward without hesitation at all, directly looking for a partial division of the Golden Army, and neatly took care of more than [-] people.

The time has already arrived on November [-]th. Zhong Shidao is already terminally ill, coupled with the situation that keeps making him desperate, people are not afraid of hardships, but they are afraid of hopelessness. Unfortunately, he does not see hope. Amid internal and external troubles, he finally closed his eyes unwillingly Put your eyes on it, maybe it's because you can't see it!
Zhang Qiyuan also got his wish, and accompanied Zhao Gou on a mission. The Privy Council ordered Feng Chen to come back from Hedong and bring back the gold master to ask for Jin Yuren and the title of Shangzun. Zhao Huan immediately agreed without even thinking about it.Feng Chen went north again, and met Wang Yun on the way, and the two returned to the capital at the same time.Wang Yun insisted on ceding the three towns in order to meet the demands of the Jin people, and reported to the Nianhan army's forward Yinshu brother that he had broken through Xiangyuan County in the east of the river and was attacking Huazhou.

What does this mean?The two armies of the Jin Army are rushing towards Kaifeng, and they are about to join forces.

As the two armies of the Jin army gradually approached Dahe, the deputy envoy of Xuanfu of Hedong and Hebei, Zhe Yanzhi, led an army of 12 troops, and lined up across the river, preparing to fight the Jin army. Prepare five thousand horse troops to patrol the river.

Lu Haowen, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, proposed to gather soldiers from all walks of life in Weishi, Xianping, Chenliu, and Dongming counties. If the Jin army crossed the river, they should defend the enemy with soldiers from the four counties.He also proposed to set up a pass fort along the river to prevent officials from being exhausted and unable to devote all their efforts to the war, but both were rejected by Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ge.

There are still opportunities, but they are artificially given up bit by bit, which makes people read history books and indignantly, but among the scholars at that time, the opposition was not too loud, which is strange but not ridiculous at all.

Wang Xiu did not rule the city of Heyang, but stationed in Gubailing Dazhai to avoid meeting Zhe Yanzhi. The 78 generals have been expanded during the war, and there are [-] double-horse cavalry, [-] infantry cavalry, [-] infantrymen, and more than [-] strong soldiers accompanying the army. The main reason why he is not in the state government is that the defense of Heyang, the state government, is empty.

Even if the relationship between the two is not harmonious, Orihiko is also envious of Wang Xiu's elite soldiers, but they still have a relationship in Guantang.

On the same day, Orihiko went to Beicheng, Beiyang County to inspect the layout of the river defense. The bridge was used to welcome the refugees on the north bank. Waiting to cross the river, once the Jin army kills them, they are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"The captives are about to arrive, and Zheyan is too timid to fight. Can you do anything?" In the large tent of the Chinese army, Wang Xiu looked around at Li Bao, Zong Liang, Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, Qiu Yun, Zhong Lirui, and the new caller. Shangguan Qian.

The 78th general is Li Bao, and the deputy is Shangguanqian. Wang Xiu also tried his best to promote the transfer. For Shangguanqian, the deputy is definitely a leapfrog promotion, which is enough for him to be grateful. It is Wang Xiu who gave him a step up.

Feng Yuan was the most valued by Wang Xiu. After repeated recommendations, he became a 78th general, one of the three generals with more than 6000 people, and entered the ranks of middle and lower generals.The number of generals in the imperial army varies. A general with 3000 people is a general. Under 6000 generals, there are generals and deputy generals.

Both Jing Bo and Qiu Yun became generals, mastering the cavalry and infantry respectively. This is Wang Xiu's force team.

Although Zhong Lirui was writing the appropriate text, he had successfully entered Wang Xiu's field of vision and participated in the decision-making of military aircraft.

As for Zong Liang, Wang Xiu specially transferred him from Jiangning, Guan Gou Jiyi, who was officially appointed by the imperial court, was the real core figure to handle general affairs in the army.

Shangguan Qian thought of Wang Xiu's implicit hint, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous, saying: "My lord, Xuanfu has an army of more than [-] troops, and the attack is insufficient to defend. Even if they stay behind closed doors, it is impossible for the captives to cross the river easily."

Li Bao followed Wang Xiu for a long time, admired Wang Xiu deeply, and knew that Zheyan was flustered, so he glanced at Shangguanqian dissatisfied, and said with a sneer, "If Xuanfu had the ability, he would have sent troops to Zezhou to fight back. Into the river."

Shangguanqian glanced at Li Bao, and was not very happy. He was also regarded as a life-and-death partner with Wang Xiu. Li Bao was just a bandit Zhao'an. He got a good deal from Wang Xiu, and he stood on his head and said big words. It's really hateful .

Seeing that the two of them were not getting along well, Wang Xiu felt helpless. It is true that they are enemies, but they are both naval generals that he is optimistic about. If possible, it will be of great use. After resolving the conflict, he immediately smiled and said: "You two express your own opinions, let me say something, you can see whether it is true or not."

"My lord, please tell me. I will listen carefully." Li Bao glanced at Shangguan Qian and said something first.

Shangguan Qian looked at Wang Xiu and said calmly, "My lord, the general will listen carefully."

Wang Xiu nodded slowly, with a smile on his face, and said warmly: "Okay, the captives are about to cross the river, and there are two ways to go. Xuanfu's death battle in Heyang is likely to curb the captives' offensive. The second is to flee in the wind. The captives crossed the river in large numbers."

Everyone was startled and looked at each other, but Zong Liang and Jing Bo's eyes flickered.

Shangguan Qian said weakly: "Xuan Fu has an army of 12 horses, and Li Xianggong also has an army of [-] horses. He should be able to persist to the end." However, his tone was very unconfident, and he might not even believe it himself.

Wang Xiu's gaze was like a torch, and he approached Shangguan Qian, and said in a deep voice, "What if Xuan Fu withdraws to the south?"

Shangguan Qian was taken aback, Wang Xiu's hypothesis had to be denied. Judging by Zhe Yanzhi's attitude, it was very likely to be realized. Once the army retreated south, 78 would become a lone army.

Li Bao's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "In the end, everything will be decided by the adults."

The person Zong Liang, Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, and Qiu Yun most admired and was closest to was also Wang Xiu, so they naturally followed Wang Xiu's lead without any other thoughts.Zong Liang, in particular, was deeply influenced by Southeast Asian merchants, and he didn't have too many foolish and loyal thoughts, and he was also one of the people who supported Wang Xiu the most.

Wang Xiu glanced at Shangguanqian, he was not disappointed, as Shangguanqian had been transferred for a few months, he was really worried about blindly following without hesitation.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to take decisive measures, no longer being sloppy, and said in a deep voice: "I mean, if Xuanfu has any plans to retreat, I will kill him first and then play, and seize his soldiers to guard the river, and never let the captives cross the river. Would you like to advance and retreat with me?"

Not to mention Shangguan Qian, even Li Bao and Feng Yuan were stunned, Zong Liang's mouth twitched violently, beheading Xuan Fushi, what is this for?It can even be said to be treason, they never thought about it.

Shangguan Qian's face was ugly, and Li Bao's eyes wandered away. Only Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, and Qiu Yun hesitated a little, but their eyes became firm.

Wang Xiu stared at everyone with a very serious face, but he was very nervous in his heart. Everyone has the right to choose, and he couldn't even interfere with Feng Yuan's choice.However, he can only have one choice, and he has to make a decision. The trend of the world is determined today, and he will never tolerate anyone ruining his years-long plan.

His gaze gradually calmed down. The two personal guards on the left and right were already ready. The twenty or so guards outside the tent were already waiting for him to give an order. He could not control everyone's choice, but he could decide their life and death. .

Without it, for tomorrow, no one can stand in his way.

But Zhonglirui recalled what Zhonglirui said to him before leaving, his pupils shrank involuntarily, and his expression was very hesitant.
