Chapter 950 Visible images are flying far away, and a huge silent dream rolls into the world of mortals (Part 2)
The carp in the pond swam across the quiet rocks, and in the courtyard full of traditional garden scenery, the atmosphere of silence lasted for a while.
Looking into the room from the open window, two big men with uneven white hair were silent for a long time after receiving the message.
The world has been in a fierce melee for a long time. Even near Xicheng County, a battle against the black flag is still going on. The battle in Hanzhong is fierce, but it will end sooner or later. This is unquestionable. Based on Dai Mengwei's words
, in the past few days of lectures, when talking about the general trend of the world, he also said words such as "Even if the black flag wins..." to show his foresight and avoid loopholes in his words after the battle curtain fell.
But it is one thing to have thought about such a result, and the way and time it appeared is another matter. At present, everyone has regarded the Chinese Seventh Army as a beast full of hatred and fearless of death. Although it is difficult to specify
It is imaginable, but many people have the psychological foreshadowing that the Chinese Seventh Army will not fall behind even if they face the troops facing the Aguda uprising.
But even so, in the face of Nianhan's 100,000 men and Wanyan Xiyin's reinforcements, the entire Jurchen West Route Army was defeated in one day. The result of defeating Nianhan and Xiyin at the same time, even if it relies on metaphysics, it is not possible.
It's really hard to accept.
Nianhan is not a mediocre warrior on the battlefield. He is the best general in the world. Although Xiyin has been in the position of deputy for a long time, his reputation as the God of Grains has become more and more popular in the eyes of the more Confucian scholars of the Wu Dynasty who admire ingenuity and admire strategists such as Zhuge Liang.
I'm afraid he is a more difficult being than Nianhan. He sat in the rear and made several plans. Although he never faced the demon in the southwest, he showed his impressive courage in several attacks from a distance.
Come, he rushed to the battlefield full of energy, but still couldn't turn the tide? Unable to overwhelm the exhausted Black Flag troops who had persisted in the war for four or five days? And let Qin Shaoqian defeat Nianhan's main force head-on?
Reality that is too heavy can bring an unimaginable impact to people. Even at that moment, I am afraid that Liu Guangshi and Dai Mengwei thought about kneeling down. But after all, both of them have experienced countless major events.
Characters, Dai Mengwei even bet the lives of their close relatives on this game. After pondering for a long time, as the expressions on their faces changed, they first chose to suppress the incomprehensible reality and instead consider ways to face reality.
"Dai Gong..."
Liu Guangshi, who was the first to speak, was a little hoarse. He paused and then said: "Dai Gong... As soon as this news comes, the world will change."
Dai Meng nodded slightly: "Yes..."
"...The battle of Hanzhong was chaotic and unspeakable. As for the outcome of Black Flag's victory, my nephew had previously made some assumptions, but at this moment, I have to be honest. The winner was decided yesterday. This situation was a bit shocking... The evening before yesterday
Xiyin arrived at the Hanzhong battlefield. The battle started early yesterday morning. I think the Nianhan side must have thought that they had the upper hand, so they prepared to fight head-on. However, this also shows that the Seventh Black Flag Army, which has been fighting for several days, is still small in number.
, but on the frontal battlefield, when the Tushan Guards had the strongest fighting spirit, they were defeated forcefully... Later, they chased Nianhan and even killed She Yema in front of him, not to mention..."
Liu Guangshi was sorting out the situation in his mind and carefully weighing every word: "This kind of news can scare you and me, and it can also scare others. It is currently said that there are still three thousand Black Flag men fighting near Linpu, from Xicheng County to the east.
, hundreds of thousands of troops gathered...Dai Gong, the black flag is unjust. Although he is powerful and will wreak havoc on the world sooner or later, Liu has already put his life and death at risk. I only don't know what Dai Gong's thoughts are.
It’s still the case.”
Dai Meng closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, with a calm tone: "Mr. Liu, what I said before has never been false. Considering the general trend, it is inevitable that our Wu Dynasty will lose to Black Flag within a few years. Dai
Since I dared to offend Heiqi here, I had already put my life and death at risk. In fact, judging from the general situation, millions of people in the south had just escaped from prison, and I was killed by Heiqi in Xicheng County. This shocked the world's scholars, but
Bigger. Black Flag is going to kill me, I have already prepared..."
His expression had completely returned to calmness, and he looked at Liu Guangshi at this time: "Of course, it is hard to win people's trust by saying this in vain, but Liu Gong will watch how things develop from now on."
Liu Guangshi waved his hand.
"The words of Mr. Dai are enough! Since Mr. Dai is so frank, Liu will speak frankly." He raised his head and looked at the still peaceful sky outside the courtyard, "Since Black Flag has won such a great victory, from now on
Starting from now, there may be troubles near Xicheng County. Dai Gong took over more than ten troops from the Jurchens, but the time is still young, and there will be many people with ulterior motives. These people have paid money in the past, and they may naturally do so in the future.
If the black flag is raised, at least it is said that the fighting in Linpu will be difficult to continue...Many preparations must be made now..."
He said: "Among these more than ten troops, how many are under Dai Gong's control, and how many are familiar with him? We may have communicated and made promises in the past, but I'm afraid we have to start all over again at this moment. Fortunately, Dai Gong has profound virtues."
, Liu also has a long history of friendship with the leaders of some of the teams. You and I can join hands and lobby all parties as soon as possible, and maybe we can keep the situation stable and the overall situation intact... Several of these people have been in tandem with Liu a few months ago.
, planning, even though they are afraid of Black Flag, as long as they can see you and I join forces, we will definitely not lose our righteousness, such as Yuan Jinwen, Hou Xiao..."
When Liu Guangshi said this, he spoke faster. Although he cherished his life and lost many battles, he was able to reach this point and his thinking ability was naturally far beyond ordinary people. The achievements of the Black Flag Seventh Army can certainly scare many people.
, but in such a tragic battle, the losses of Black Flag itself were also huge, and it would inevitably take several years to survive. Although Dai Mengwei and Liu Guangshi could not compete with Black Flag, a large group of people joined forces to fight against the Jurchens during the Jurchen Movement.
Later, he plotted to seek refuge in the Central Plains, but it was indeed an exciting prospect with many benefits. Compared with taking refuge in the Black Flag, such a prospect was more attractive.
After all, even though Black Flag is powerful now, the possibility of him being strong and easily broken still exists, even very high. Furthermore, after Black Flag defeated the Jurchen West Route Army, he defected to the country, not to mention whether the other party wanted to see him.
There is no liquidation, but the strict military regulations of the black flag and the ruthlessness of advancing without retreating on the battlefield are far beyond the endurance of some people who come from rich families and are pampered.
At the moment, the black flag of surrender is that the other side is taking advantage of the opportunity of a great victory. The surrender of the troops is just a weakling who is manipulated by him. On the contrary, if he follows Dai and Liu, they take over the Central Plains and manage it for several years. Life will be easier for them in the future.
Years later, even if Black Flag does not fall, if he surrenders after a generous battle on the battlefield, he will be more respected by Black Flag. He kills people and sets fire and is recruited. Now that Black Flag is domineering and he does not have enough ability to cause trouble, he will be more respected by Black Flag.
Can't get hired.
Liu Guangshi and Dai Mengwei have a very clear grasp of these thoughts, but there are some things that cannot be said verbally. At present, as long as they can convince everyone with their righteousness, when they take over the Central Plains, implement reforms rigorously, and slowly plan for it, they may not be able to control the people under their command.
Get rid of a bunch of weaklings and get back on your feet.
At this time, the sun outside the courtyard was quiet and a breeze passed through the hall. Both of them knew that the most critical moment had come, so they immediately showed their trump cards as openly and honestly as possible. While they were discussing intensively, they had already summoned their followers to go to various armies to deliver the news, not to mention Hanzhong.
The battle report only discloses the information that Liu and Dai decided to join forces to everyone as soon as possible. In this way, when the Hanzhong battle report spreads and someone wants to double-deal, it will be able to slow down and make them think twice before acting.
Under the sun, the knight delivering the news passed through the bustling county town, and the anxious atmosphere was fermenting in the peaceful atmosphere. At two o'clock in the morning, a scout came in from outside the city and reported that there seemed to be something unusual in the military camp somewhere in the east.
.
Liu Guangshi rode a carriage out of the city, passing through the crowds of people kneeling, talking and laughing. He wanted to lobby all parties as quickly as possible to stabilize the situation for Dai Mengwei. But generally speaking, he took advantage of this trip.
Because of Black Flag's victory, Xicheng County bore the brunt of the siege. Dai Mengwei is the party most urgently in need of relief. Where is his trump card in the army and which troops he really has control over. Under such circumstances, he cannot hide his secrets. That is,
It can be said that Dai Mengwei really gave him the bottom line, but he can have some reservations about the connection and control of various forces.
Because of this, even if Bianliang is restored and the imperial court is rebuilt in the future, we will have to rely on this old man. His status in the court and his control over the court will be higher than that of the other party.
The carriage speeded up, and he kept calculating the gains and losses in his mind, planning the next plan, and then quickly and resolutely plunged into the "battlefield" that he was good at.
At this moment, flames and turmoil seemed to be burning from the ground in Xicheng County. Most people still didn't know the signs of its spread.
***************
When receiving the results of the Battle of Hanzhong, Ning Yi stood on the top of the mountain and was silent for a long time.
It is already the morning of April 26th. Due to the poor transmission of news during the march, the first wave of scouts sent south to send messages missed the northbound Chinese army last night and should have arrived at Jiange. The second wave of sent messages
The soldiers found the troops led by Ning Yi and received relatively detailed information.
At this time, the wind was blowing, and it looked like it might rain at any time in the distance. On the hillside were the Chinese troops running and marching. After leaving Zhaohua, this elite force of more than 2,000 people marched at a speed of more than sixty miles a day.
In fact, they still have enough physical strength to fight along the way. After all, Nianhan and Xiyin are enemies that cannot be underestimated. It is difficult to determine whether they will make a desperate effort to intercept Ning Yi on the way and reverse the victory.
The straight-line distance from Zhaohua to Hanzhong is more than 260 miles, and the road distance is more than 400 miles. Ning Yi and Qu Zhengyan left Zhaohua on the 23rd. Theoretically speaking, it would not take them until the 29th to arrive at the fastest speed.
Later - if you have to risk your life, of course you can go faster. For example, a forced march of more than 120 miles a day is not impossible for more than two thousand people, but before the popularity of thermal weapons, it is impossible to rush to the battlefield with such intensity of march.
Give it for free, it means nothing.
Qin Shaoqian led the Seventh Army to start the war on April 19th. The first round of the battle was extremely fierce. Ning Yi and Qu Zhengyan's march north seemed more like obeying fate with all their personnel and affairs. A lot of psychological preparations had been made earlier.
Win or lose, it's possible.
But the confirmation of the news still gave people a huge impact as always. Ning Yi stood in the mountains, enveloped by the huge emotion. He had been practicing martial arts for many years, running and marching was not a problem, but at this time
It was as if he had lost his strength, letting his mood be dominated by that emotion, and stood there in a daze for a long time.
As a winner, enjoying this moment or even indulging in this moment is a legitimate right. More than ten years have passed since the first moment when Jurchen went south. At that time, Ning Ji had just been born. He was going north, including Tan'er.
His family members were all trying to stop him. Even though he had been exposed to many things in his life, he was still unable to deal with military affairs and war. The world was full of troubles, but he had to bite the bullet and get on with it.
After more than ten years of struggle, Nianhan and Xiyin were finally defeated.
After beheading Shiye's horse outside the city of Hanzhong, a group of Jurchen generals protected Nianhan and fled to Hanzhong. Xiyin, the only one who still had fighting ability, built defense lines inside and outside Hanzhong, mobilized his fleet, and prepared to escape. The chasing troops came all the way.
In Hanzhong, the resistance of the Jurchens that night almost lit up half of the city, but a large number of courageous Jurchen troops also fled desperately. Xiyin and others gave up their resistance and escorted Nihan and part of the main force to the east, leaving only a small number of troops to try their best.
The soldiers gathered together and fled.
On the entire Hanzhong battlefield, there were tens of thousands of defeated Jin troops. The Chinese army made an emergency landing, but for most of them, they finally gave up pursuit and annihilation. In fact, in this tragic battle, the Chinese Seventh Army
More than one-third of the people have died, and many have become separated from the team in the chaos. The specific number is still being counted. As for the casualties, there is no possibility of counting them on the 25th.
After Nianhan left, the Seventh Army was unable to catch up.
The horror of the battle cannot be described in detail on a small piece of paper.
Qu Zhengyan walked over from the side, and Ning Yi handed him the information. After reading it, Qu Zhengyan almost subconsciously waved his fist, and then stood there in a daze for a moment, and then looked at Ning Yi: "That's right...there was something before
What was expected, after this battle..."
"Too many people died..." Ning Yi said.
Regarding Ning Yi's words, Qu Zhengyan couldn't take it anymore. There will naturally be casualties in the war. The Seventh Army defeated Nianhan with less than 20,000 people. Xi Yin's 100,000 troops were killed without any calculation. It is true to pay such a price.
Cruel, but if you don't pay such a price, it would be a bit too naive. When he thought of this, he heard Ning Yi say again: "...he should not die." Then he realized that he was thinking of something else.
As for who it is, there is no need to guess too much at this time.
Immediately he said: "Do you want the team to stop, take a break, and tell them the news?"
Ning Yi shook his head.
"Keep walking, just use it as training."
After he said this, he trotted forward. The flags were flying, and the long team passed through the mountains and ridges. The clouds were rolling in the sky in the distance, and it seemed like it would rain, but at this moment it was a sunny day, and the sun was shining from the other side of the sky.
Come down.
In this way, the team marched forward in the clouds and wind and rain for several more days. On April 29, Ning Yi arrived near Hanzhong. When he crossed the hillside, Qin Shaoqian led people to greet him from there. He still had one eye and was wearing bandages.
, the injury has not yet healed, and the hair is messy, but the breath of the wound medicine has a bold smile, and he stretches out his uninjured right hand to greet Ning Yi.
"We won. What do you think?"
"There's not much to say except that he's handsome."
There was a sigh in Ning Yi's words, and the two hugged each other. After a while, Qin Shaoqian stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, then put his arm on his shoulders, and the group walked towards the military camp not far away.
The gongs and drums of victory have already sounded.
…
The first time he arrived, Ning Yi went to see the wounded in the wounded barracks, and then held a meeting to summarize and report on the battle situation. He also summarized and reported on the situation in Hanzhong and even hundreds of miles nearby. Half of the world lasted for several days.
The situations piled up, and this first round of reporting was messy and compact.
Ning Yi held a meeting for most of the day, understanding the whole situation from a macro perspective, and his mind was a little tired. Near evening, he sat down on the mountainside outside the military camp. The sunset had not yet turned red. Nearby was the military camp, not far away.
It is Hanzhong, and the traces of the war and fighting have actually faded before our eyes. The injured are lying in the camp, and the victims will never be seen again. It has only been a few days. This kind of knowledge makes people sad. Ning Yi can only
It is conceivable that the location I am in has experienced extremely fierce fighting a few days ago.
Qin Shaoqian came up from the side, waved away his entourage, and stood aside: "We have won a big victory, so we should be more festive."
"Too many people died. Those who should have survived, even if we didn't fight in Hanzhong..."
"Without this battle, their lives would be miserable... The 20,000 people in the Seventh Army were trained in extreme ways. Their hard work was squeezed out. They lived for this war and for revenge. After the Southwest War, although they had
It proved to the world the power of the Chinese army, but without this victory, the 20,000 people in the Seventh Army would not be able to survive. They might turn into evil ghosts and disrupt the order of the world. With this great victory, they survived
Yes, maybe I can live a good life..."
Qin Shaoqian said this, was silent for a moment, and patted Ning Yi on the shoulder: "Why do I need to say these things? You know it clearly in your heart. In addition, the reason why Nianhan and Xiyin are willing to start a decisive battle is because you can't get to Hanzhong for the time being.
, they will leave when you come, and there will be no fight until you come, so no matter what, this is a battle that must be completed independently by the Seventh Army. Now this result is very good, I am very happy. My father and brother are still alive in heaven.
, you will also feel gratified.”
Ning Yi was silent, then smiled: "If Old Qin is alive in heaven, I'm afraid he won't want to fight with me."
"So what? You are invincible and he can't beat you."
"That's what you said."
Ning Yi answered this, and Qin Shaoqian sat down beside him. Just like on August 15th many years ago, Zong Wang and Guo Yaoshi came to attack, and Qin Shaoqian wanted to lead his troops to meet the enemy. They sat down on the grassy slope in front of them.
The red sunset. This day is April 29th of the first year of Zhenxing.
From the military camp not far away, soldiers were singing. After the two listened for a while, Qin Shaoqian spoke:
