Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 276 Chapter [-]
"Xiangyang City is broken, and Dong Xian's army is defeated?"

When they came to Wujie camp, Liu Wei and Wu Lin were really shocked by the news they heard.

In fact, just two days ago, Liu Wei got the news that Jin Danzi withdrew some troops from Xiangyang City. It was the team led by Li Cheng, the archer general.Although the current Xiangyang City is no longer Wang Chongyang's territory and is actually controlled by the Xixia people, it is better than falling into the hands of the Jin people.

However, Liu Wei never expected that the situation would take a turn for the worse, not only the city of Xiangyang was destroyed, but Dong Xian also lost Guo (guo) state.

What is Guozhou?Perhaps there are not many people who know this person's place in future generations, because that word is hard to pronounce after all.But if you put it another way, say it is Hongnong, I am afraid that more people will know about it.Strictly speaking, Hongnong was the name before the Tang Dynasty, but since the Tang Dynasty, Hongnong has disappeared, leaving only Guozhou, which is the area around Lingbao City, Henan Province.

As for Dong Xian, many people have heard of his name. At the beginning, he was forced to rebel and join the puppet Qi because of the situation, but then he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty. At least from the perspective of the Song people, Dong Xian That is a man who can bend and stretch, and finally chose the aboveboard side.

Because of Dong Xian's life experience, and because he is indeed a military general with some skills, the court let him guard Guozhou, but who would have guessed that he was defeated by Li Cheng, who was an official in the same dynasty? Lost, the blood flowed into rivers, the army was defeated, and finally had to abandon Guozhou, led the mourning soldiers and generals, and went to join Yue Fei.

At this time, Yue Fei had just led the Yue Family Army to suppress the bandits, and his morale was like a rainbow. When he heard that Li Cheng had actually captured Guozhou, the generals under his tent begged for orders one after another to take Guozhou back.

Without an order from the imperial court, even Yue Fei couldn't send troops privately, he could only write everyone's wishes into the memorial, submit it to the imperial court, and let the bigwigs in the court make a decision.

As for the other side, how did Xiangyang City break down? So far, the Southern Song Dynasty has not received any confirmation. After all, Xiangyang City was not the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty. Focus on.

Hearing these two news, the only thing Liu Wei was worried about was Wang Chongyang's life and death.

"My lords, once the city of Xiangyang is broken, the puppet Qi and the golden dog can come south without any scruples. I'm afraid there will be a war. Everyone must treat it with caution."

Wu Jie's expression was very heavy. The Jin people's desire to invade the south was endless, and the place he guarded by Wu Jie was the first to bear the brunt. Although he had successfully defeated the Jin soldiers several times, the general situation was not optimistic. .

"My lord, was it the False Qi or the Golden Wushu who broke Xiangyang City?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Wei couldn't help asking.

"Of course it shouldn't be false Qi, but now I can't be sure it's Wushu. After all, there is an alliance between Xixia Kingdom and Jin Kingdom, unless it is."

Because of Liu Wei's question, it also aroused everyone's thinking.

Yes, Xixia has not been willing to give up in the past two years, but whether it is national strength or military strength, it is far inferior to the Jin Kingdom. In addition, the annual tribute to the Jin Kingdom consumes a lot of national wealth. It can be said that the current Xixia has no direct resistance to Jin country's strength.

Xixia can't confront the Kingdom of Jin head-on, what about the Puppet Qi?
Today's puppet Qi ruler has been replaced by a golden marble. Even if the two sides have reached a certain degree of agreement, is there really no contradiction at all?I'm afraid this is also impossible. According to this inference, Jin Guo has no reason to help the puppet Qi take Xianyang City, unless Jin Danzi offers enough benefits to exchange with Jin Wushu.

"Liu Wei's words reminded me that the puppet Qi has been attacking Xianyang City for a long time, but it is still difficult to make an inch. I am afraid that it is because of this that Wanyan Zhenzhu'er will send Li Cheng to attack Guozhou. He was expelled. Li Cheng is the main force attacking Xianyang City, and he has already gone to Guozhou, so why did Jin Danzi take Xiangyang City?"

Wu Jie's words began to guide the generals to think, only Wu Lin looked around, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"There is another situation."

After a moment of silence in the camp, it was Liu Wei who spoke first again. Fortunately, everyone below the Wu rank recognized Liu Wei's place, otherwise at his age, he would really be a bit of a showman if he competed for the first place.

"There is another situation, that is, Li Cheng went to fight Guozhou, and Jin Danzi personally took down Xiangyang City, but there should be a prerequisite for this situation." Liu Wei seemed to be talking to himself. His brows were also frowned.

"Liu Wei, but it's okay to say."

"I think that if Xixia really wants Xianyang City, and the puppet Qi sends troops to surround Xianyang, then Xixia should also send reinforcements. I am afraid that Xianyang City has not waited for reinforcements. In fact, there are no reinforcements at all! The golden marble is definitely not there. Reinforcement, that's why they dared to personally conquer Xiangyang City, and there must be Jin Wushu mediating in it. The Xixia Kingdom sold its soldiers and horses connected to Xianyang City, and also got benefits from the Jin Kingdom. As for the benefits of the Jin Kingdom, It is through such a battle to try to weaken the strength of the fake Qijin marbles!"

Liu Wei's analysis should be said to be reasonable, and everyone nodded in agreement with this statement.

"Then what kind of benefits did the Xixia Kingdom get from the Jin people? If the previous information is correct, the Xixia people's military strength in Xianyang City is a full [-] Jin soldiers. Moreover, when Xianyang City was in the hands of the rebels, Xixia did not give less food and weapons to the army!"

Wu Jie frowned, similar to Liu Wei, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was asking questions to everyone.

In the absence of intelligence support, no one could answer Wu Jie, and even Liu Wei dared not speak casually.

Seeing Liu Wei's expression, Wu Jie suddenly felt stunned, and said: "Liu Wei, I heard that Wang Chongyang, the leader of the rebel army, has a very good personal relationship with you, and his master even healed Gao Chong's leg."

"true!"

Everyone in the Jianghu knew about this matter. After all, not everyone can go to the battlefield again after their legs are broken, and it is not just anyone who dares to cheat the elixir from the Great Master of the Kingdom of Jin.

Therefore, when Wu Jie asked this question, he didn't mean to question Liu Wei at all, but with a touch of concern. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he was hinting that Liu Wei should not be too sad. It is not so easy to die in the chaos.

"Perhaps the destruction of Xiangyang City is also a good thing! Liu Wei, didn't you accept some of the rebels in Xiangyang City a few days ago? If Wang Chongyang's master and apprentice can return to my court, you will return those soldiers to them. It's time for me to fight for a position with the imperial court."

It should be said that Wu Jie's words have already expressed enough sincerity. He even made a big promise that as long as Wang Chongyang's master and apprentice can submit to the imperial court, not only will they not be blamed for the past, but they can also become an official of the imperial court. If an ordinary leader of the rebel army can To get such a promise, I am afraid that I will bow to the ground immediately.

However, Liu Wei knew that this was just Wu Jie's wishful thinking.

First of all, Wang Chongyang will never compromise with others at will, and Liu Wei knows his aloof character.Secondly, Wang Chongyang and Qingxu Sanren didn't have much ambition themselves. If Xiangyang City is broken, it will be broken. Liu Wei believes that Wang Chongyang will never fight another Xiangyang City and become a leader.

So for Wu Jie's promise, Liu Wei could only return a wry smile and said: "My lord, if there is a chance, I will definitely pass on my lord's kindness to Chong Yang, but now there are very few people left, everything is still unknown! "

"Qingxu Sanren has a strong reputation in Jianghu. Although I am not from Jianghu, I have heard about it. In fact, the imperial court has high expectations for Qingxu Sanren. If Sanren is interested, the emperor is even willing to make him a national teacher. Title. But, that’s all, the state of mind of idle clouds and wild cranes is indeed something ordinary people like me can’t guess.” Waving his hand, Wu Jie’s tone seemed to be a bit self-deprecating, and the generals present nodded one after another, as if they agreed with Wu Jie’s words.

"Everyone is still talking, if Jin Wushu invades, how should we deal with it? Just relying on bows and crossbows for defense, I am afraid that we will be a little passive. Liu Wei, I heard that you have some good things?"

After talking about the matter of Xianyang City, Wu Jie changed the subject and fell on Liu Wei again.

"Your Excellency is really flattering you, what good things will you be able to come up with in the end!" Liu Wei really couldn't laugh or cry, why did Wu Jie make plans for himself, he is really a poor man!
"Liu Wei, don't be modest. I heard that you have a musketeer team? The craftsman battalion at the imperial court also has muskets. I don't know who is better than yours? Can it be more lethal than a pure crossbow?"

If Wu Jie is also a quick-witted general, otherwise he would not have publicly asked about Liu Wei's musket on such an occasion.After all, bows and crossbows have been used for thousands of years and are very mature, but muskets are still a completely new thing for people of this era, and most people have no idea whether they are reliable or not.

"My lord, it should be said that the musket I developed was actually inspired by the craftsman camp. I improved the prototype made by them to a certain extent. It is not a completely new thing. For example, they used bamboo poles. I use bronze pipes."

"Oh? Let us all see the power of musket warfare when it is feasible. If it is feasible, I will report it to the imperial court and let the imperial court mass-produce it to resist the golden soldiers!"

Report to the imperial court, mass production?
When Liu Wei heard Wu Jie's words, his head suddenly grew dizzy, and he began to secretly complain that he was not careful enough, why did the news about the musket leak out!In fact, so far, Liu Wei has never thought of handing over such an epoch-making weapon as the musket to the court, because he still counts on the advanced musket to conquer the world in the future!

You must know that the biggest advantage of long-range weapons such as muskets is that even civilians who have only received simple training can quickly form combat effectiveness.

"Liu Wei, don't lower your head, if you make a deal, you should give me a happy word!"
