Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 604 The Great Victory
Wo Ze's father, Ma Ji, is Yin Shuke's mother and younger brother. He joined the army at the age of seventeen, and he followed Ba Lisu.For so many years, he has repeatedly made military exploits and won the trust of Ba Lisu.I didn't expect to die outside the city of Shanzhou, and I was sent to a black-haired person by a white-haired person. How could it not be sad?
Standing up, Ba Li quickly walked out of the official hall, looking at the sky.

A round of red sun has slanted to the west, and the clouds in the western sky have been smeared with gold.The tall locust tree beside the wall is already lush and green, and summer has come before you know it.

Ba Lisu let out a long sigh and walked into the yard, he couldn't help feeling a little hesitant for a moment.

Today, about 6000 people have been sent to the Yellow River, and almost the entire army has been wiped out, not even under the city of Pinglu.What to do next?Pull out speed don't know.If the Song army in the west occupies Lingbao City, the Song army will not wait any longer and will definitely attack the city.Looking at the power of their cannons, how could the city walls of Shanzhou be able to stop them?

Since joining the army, Ba Lisu had never experienced such a moment.In the past, they were full of spirits on the battlefield and killed heartily, only thinking about how to prevent the enemy from escaping.How could I have imagined that in the end I would be sitting in a city of sorrow?

In Linru Town, Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen sat in the private seats on the second floor, watching the people coming and going outside.Although it is a town, it is very lively here.

Linru Town is right on Luoyang's southward avenue, no matter whether the army is transporting supplies or merchants traveling from south to north, they all pass through here.There are many shops in the town, and there are many pedestrians on the street. It is a prosperous place.

The boy served the mutton soup and said to the two of them: "Guest officer, our mutton soup here is delicious, not smelly or fishy, ​​and is well-known far and wide. You will definitely like it if you try it. A few fresh vegetables, you go with wine .”

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "Okay, you can put it here. By the way, two more cakes, we soak them and eat."

The boy promised and walked down quickly.

Hu Jiaoxiu said to Zheng Chen: "If it was a peaceful time, this place would be a good place. There are goods from both the north and the south, and the food is easy to eat. It's really rare. But now, even in this kind of place, you can see troops passing by from time to time, which is really worrying. .”

Zheng Chen said: "Yes. When we came to Luoyang this time, we didn't expect to meet the Jin army to attack. It really makes people unhappy."

After speaking, he poured a glass of wine for the two of them.

As soon as he raised his wine glass, he heard the sound of horseshoes coming from outside.Looking down the street, I saw several fast horses galloping towards me.Several people held bamboo poles with big characters written on cloth.Before they could read the words clearly, most of the people rushed away, leaving only one with a bamboo pole and a few empty-handed.

The knight holding the bamboo pole took a few breaths, and then said loudly: "Shaanzhou great victory!"

Hearing the great victory, the surrounding people quickly gathered around and listened to the knight's words.

The knight said loudly: "Golden thieves are wolves by nature, and they invaded the Central Plains. The crimes of ruining counties and counties and harming the people are too numerous to write down! Jieshuai rebels, Fuzhou County, Bu Enyi is everywhere. At the beginning of the year, he personally led the army to the Northern Expedition and restored Xijing. The people of the Central Plains see the sun behind the clouds, and see the king again! The golden thieves from Shaanxi pulled out their speed and gathered heavy troops in a vain attempt to attack Xijing from Shanzhou. The commander-in-chief sent a large army to fight. Lai Quanjun used his orders, and on April 120th, he defeated the Jin army in Shanzhou. There were 350 and nine generals and 260 prisoners below the speed of killing Jin Wanhu. The Jin army killed 510 people and captured [-] and five people. This is an unprecedented victory since Jingkang, and it should boost the morale of the Han people. Be firm in your confidence to win. Therefore, everyone will know about it!"

After reading, rest for a while, and read it again.He held up the bamboo pole, led his men out of the town quickly, and headed east.

Hu Jiaoxiu looked straight at Zheng Chen.After a while, he said: "Da--won?"

Zheng Chen nodded: "Yes, great victory—"

After speaking, tears flowed out unconsciously.

Since Jingkang, the Jin army's southern crimes were like entering a no-man's land. Except for a slight setback on the Sichuan-Shanxi border, no one could beat them.In the Song Dynasty, no matter the officials or the common people, they were like a big stone stuck in their chests.Whether it is to rise up vigorously or to survive, we all face the reality that we cannot beat the Jin Army.If you can't fight on the battlefield, you can't fight. No matter how much you say, no matter how big you swear, you have to face this reality.

But today, Wang Xiaolie wiped out Lisu in the first battle in Shanzhou, which no one dared to think about.

After a while, Hu Jiaoxiu toasted and drank it down.Said: "There are more than 2 people in Lisu. One or two years ago, they could rule the world. No one can do anything to get him. Today in Shanzhou, Jie Shuai can wipe them all out in one battle! What else can I say? Drive out the gold thieves and restore the Central Plains , just around the corner!"

Zheng Chen held the wine glass and swallowed it in one gulp.Said: "This sincerity is just around the corner, just around the corner!"

Hu Jiaoxiu put down his wine glass, and said, "Let's eat quickly and head to Luoyang City in the starry night! Faced with such a great achievement, the rewards we brought are far from enough! When we arrived in Luoyang, I saw Wang Xiaolie, so I wrote to the court that we should go to Luoyang again." It's a fixed reward!"

Zheng Chen nodded again and again, speechless for a while.

Walking on the road for the past few days, Hu Jiaoxiu and Zheng Chen had conflicts.They had to go to Luoyang to meet Wang Xiaolie under the order of the court.But when the Jin army came to attack, who knew how long Wang Xiaolie could defend?If you arrive in Luoyang and the Jin army is approaching the city, your luck will be really bad.As for Wang Xiaolie's ability to repel the Jin army, the two of them dare not even think about it.Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaolie was able to send troops to Shanzhou to fight, and he even killed Balisu.

To be honest, the language of Wang Xiaolie's announcements was plain, not the common four-six style of writing, and not suitable for official government documents.But at this time, who cares about those hypocrisy?This is what the people want to hear, and they will understand it as soon as they hear it.In particular, Shizhen wrote how many golden generals were beheaded, how many golden soldiers were killed, and how many people were captured, which really boosted morale.How many years has it been since the fight, and this is the first time that the people of the world have heard such a happy announcement.

Just after finishing the mutton soup, I heard a crackling sound coming from outside.Zheng Chen stretched his head out to look at it for a while, and said: "It turns out that someone set off firecrackers! This great victory is a great victory, and the whole world should really celebrate it!"

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "We are traveling, otherwise I would like to set off a firecracker."

When I got out of the restaurant, my subordinates went to pay the bills.The host said: "Jieshuai Lubu has won the victory, we have won a big victory in Shanzhou! This is the time when the whole world is celebrating, how can I collect your money? Just now in the shop, all the money is free! I have lived in Gaoli for decades, and I have never Live as happily as today!"

As soon as the words came out, the diners in the store cheered together

Hu Jiaoxiu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'd like to thank the master. We have to hurry, hurry up to Luoyang and see what it's like there."

The master told the boy to go to the shop on the street and buy two sets of firecrackers.

Walking to the road, the sound of firecrackers on the street is endless.Pedestrians on the road were full of spirits, and their voices were much higher than usual.

Luoyang City Henan government office, Wang Xiaolie stood at the bottom of the steps, watching the fireworks outside.He said to Wang Ruohai: "It's still daytime, so it's a pity that we can't see the colorful fireworks. People want to celebrate, can we wait until nighttime?"

Wang Ruohai said: "Who can wait? For so many years, more than [-] gold soldiers were killed in one battle. The people have waited for such a victory for too long."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, people have waited too long for this victory. The war has been fought for six or seven years, with one defeat after another and no hope. This kind of life is really difficult. Judging from the first battle in Shanzhou However, the Jin army is not as strong as we thought. If we can’t win on the battlefield, we are still too weak.”

Wang Ruohai nodded, did not speak, and looked up at the fireworks outside.

The Jin Army is indeed strong, there is no need to deny this.But Song Jun is so weak, it can only be said to be his own problem, there is no excuse.It is true that Jin Jun was born in the land of Baishan and Heishui, and lived in a bitter cold since he was a child. He is especially able to endure hardships on the battlefield and is not afraid of death or injury.However, the war is not about who is more able to endure hardships, nor is it about who is less afraid of death.War needs victory, what does victory need?Who is less afraid of death than the enemy?of course not.War is about organization and discipline, who is more disciplined, and who is better at planning.

The Song Dynasty was stronger than the Jin Dynasty, shouldn't it be organization and discipline?This is not as good as human beings, and the court and officials cannot absolve themselves of the blame.
