At this time, the morale of the Minamoto clan's army was high. Not only did they achieve a great victory this time, but they also annihilated all the main forces of the Taira clan. They did not intend to give the Taira clan any more opportunities. Minamoto no Yoshi Tadamasa discussed counterattack with a group of people.
One of the generals said: "General, I think that the Ping clan has no way to recover, and there is no need to worry about it. At present, whether we can recover the Hokuriku Road, the key enemy is the Song army from across the coast."
As soon as these words came out, the others nodded. They all knew how much wealth the Ping family had, but they didn't know what the situation of the Song army was. It was precisely for this reason that all their attacks on the Hokuriku Road were defeated by the Song army.
The army was repulsed, almost causing catastrophe.
Another person said: "The Ping family is a traitor to our country, Japan, but the Song army sent troops to help us. It is obvious that they want to fight against our country, Japan. No matter how strong they are, they come from afar, and we are fighting on our own soil, so we don't need to worry about the Song army at all.
Why not take the opportunity to eliminate the Song army as well, since we have no contact with the Song court anyway."
Many people agreed.
But Minamoto Yoshitaka frowned and remained silent. He also had an account in his mind. Although he was not as good as Taira Tadayama in the military field, he was stronger than Taira Tadamashi in politics. He knew very well that the Fujiwara family did not actually regard him as
As a confidant, once Emperor Toba consolidates the government and the opposition, God knows whether they will unite to deal with him.
You have to be on guard against this, and you have to think of your own escape route in advance.
The growth of the Ping family is obvious to all. There is only one reason for this, and that is the Song Dynasty. Now Ping Zhongzheng has no strength. Therefore, Minamoto Yoshitaka thought that if he could cooperate with the Song Dynasty and take over the Ping Group, then the whole government and the public would be
Everyone should be afraid of him!
This is politics. There are never absolute enemies, only eternal interests.
A moment ago, everyone in the Gen clan hated the Song army to the core. But at this moment, their head had already come up with the idea of forming an alliance with the Song Dynasty.
At this time, a guard came in and saluted: "General, the minister of Taizheng has arrived."
After hearing this, Minamoto Yoshitaka quickly led his subordinates out of the tent to greet him.
This Taizheng minister is Fujiwara Tadamichi of the Kitawa Fujiwara clan. This guy is also a weirdo, and he is also a rebellious person. Although he is a noble, he was originally on the side of Emperor Shirakawa. But seeing that Emperor Shirakawa is dying, and the age of Emperor Sutoku
Shang Qing, so he immediately took refuge with the Toba Emperor. Therefore, after the Toba Emperor came to the throne, he did not lose his position as Taizheng Minister. It must be said that this person is very capable, but he is just opportunistic.
But this kind of person is the most terrifying, and Minamoto Yoshitaka does not dare to neglect him. When he came outside the tent, he saw a man in rich clothes standing in the middle of the military camp with his head held high.
This person is Fujiwara Tadamichi.
Minamoto Yoshitaka hurriedly stepped forward to salute you. He knew that this person was extremely jealous, and if you gave him enough face, he might hate you for the rest of his life.
Fujiwara Tadamichi actually just wanted to test whether Minamoto Yoshitaka had won the battle on his own, so he would not take him seriously. Seeing that Minamoto Yoshitaka still respected him as always, he was very happy and finally showed a smile. Part 1
In front of the supporter, Yoshitada Minamoto spoke highly of Yoshitada on behalf of His Holiness Toba, and he also praised him a lot.
After some official dialogue, Minamoto Yoshitada invited Fujiwara Tadamichi to the tent.
As soon as Fujiwara Tadamichi sat down, he asked: "His Majesty the Emperor sent me to not only express condolences to the general, but also to ask the general if he had caught Taira Tamasa, the rebellious minister?"
Speaking of Taira Taira, Minamoto Yoshitada felt a little regretful. It turned out that in that melee, although all the main forces of the Taira clan were annihilated, Taira Takara escaped from their encirclement under the desperate protection of a group of cronies. This can
He said that this was the biggest regret of this battle, and said: "I dare not hide it from the Minister of Taizheng. Pingzhong was in the middle of a chaotic battle, but he still escaped." After that, he hurriedly said: "But the Minister of Taizheng can rest assured, this battle
After that, the Ping family was unable to save the day, and I have asked Yuan Weiyi to pursue him. If nothing happens, we should be able to catch Ping Zhongzheng."
"If I don't get rid of my loyalty and integrity, I feel uneasy!"
Fujiwara Tadamichi sighed.
Minamoto Yoshitaka hurriedly said: "Minister Taizheng, please rest assured, this time Pingzhong is unable to fly, and I will definitely put his head on his neck."
These people all ran away. Even though Fujiwara Tadamichi was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to say: "Of course I believe this, General." Then he asked: "Then what is the General going to do next?"
Minamoto Yoshitaka heard that his words were quite probing, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Oh, we are preparing for a large-scale counterattack, trying to recover the Hokuriku Road together, and wipe out all the Song troops by the way."
Fujiwara Tadamichi suddenly sighed.
Minamoto no Yoshitada asked: "Why did the Minister sigh?"
Fujiwara Tadōdou: "Of course I have full confidence in the general whether we can win this war, but His Majesty the Emperor's intention is not to kill everyone. After all, after the Tang Dynasty, we in Japan have no contact with the Central Plains court.
In recent years, Ping Zhong was dealing with the Song Dynasty. The Song monarch only heard one-sided words from Ping Zhongzheng. There may be some misunderstandings, so the emperor did not want to lose his life again. Moreover, I heard that the Song army was also very well-behaved in Yuezhong Prefecture.
, there was no killing, so the King of France still hopes to make the Song army retreat in spite of the difficulties and not to make things difficult for them."
Although the Japanese court did not have contact with the Song court, private trade was very frequent, and the Song Dynasty was always a humble gentleman in the eyes of neighboring countries. After all, he was always being beaten. What is a gentleman?
They did not retaliate, so the Japanese court did not want to break up with the Song Dynasty. They still hoped to maintain the aloof relationship as before.
Minamoto Yoshitaka was overjoyed when he heard this. This was exactly what he had thought. He said, "The King of France has an order. How dare I disobey it? It's just that--well, I'm afraid that the brothers below won't be willing to accept it."
, after all, the Song army killed many of our warriors in Yuezhong Prefecture."
Fujiwara Tadamichi smiled and said: "I know this, and His Majesty the Emperor also knows it, but with the overall situation in mind, you can talk to them. They will understand. If the Song army retreats in the face of difficulties, you can just let them go. I believe this
After the battle, the Song Army also knew the strength of our Japanese samurai and would not stay any longer."
Yuan Yizhong smiled in his heart, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I will try my best, but what if the Song army retreats without knowing the difficulty?"
Fujiwara Tadamichi smiled coldly and said: "Then let them stay here forever."
...
...
Under a big tree three hundred miles north of Wakasa Prefecture, more than ten people were sitting around stuffing dry food into their mouths.
A middle-aged man was leaning under a big tree, his eyes were red and scattered, his hair was fluffy, his face was black, and his body was in tatters. This man was none other than Ping Zhongzheng, who was arrogant just a few days ago.
"General, please have something to eat."
Ping Zhongzheng shook his head, his eyes slowly swept across the faces in front of him, and murmured to himself: "Forty thousand brothers. Forty thousand brothers, only..." At this point, he looked up to the sky.
Sighing, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I had listened to the advice of General Niu and Military Advisor Zhao, how could I have suffered this defeat?"
At this point, he suddenly roared and burst into tears. He pounded the inside with both hands, as if he wanted to break his hands.
When the warriors on the side saw it, they also covered their faces and cried.
"Whoosh!"
Ping Zhongzheng suddenly drew his sword, his eyes widened and he said: "I, Ping Zhongzheng, have no face to go back. I can only die." He wiped it from his neck.
"General..."
The soldiers were horrified and rushed over. Fortunately, they were quick. If they had been slower, Ping Zhongzheng would have really died.
A pioneer officer said: "General, you must not do it. The brothers worked hard to protect us and escape. If the general dies like this, then the brothers will really die with their eyes open. Besides, if the green mountains are left, we will not be afraid."
No firewood.”
Ping Zhongzheng cried and shook his head: "It's over, it's over, it's all over."
"General, aren't there still Song troops?"
Speaking of the Song Army, Ping Zhongzheng suddenly opened his eyes, and then said: "I didn't trust them at the beginning and didn't follow their suggestions. How can they be willing to help me now?"
The vanguard official said: "Having said that, if we are defeated, the Genji may not be able to spare them. Even if they are unwilling to help us, they will still stand on our side in order to protect themselves."
Ping Zhong frowned and thought for a moment, thinking, what he said is not unreasonable. Although I have lost all my main force, I still have such a large land and many people. Given time, I can still make a comeback.
Li Qingzhao is right. Throughout the ages, there have been countless heroes and heroines. The humiliation of Han Xin and King Gou Jian of Yue are often commendable. But don't forget that compared to them, the overlord of Western Chu faced only a river.
, it can be seen that the only one who can truly refuse to cross Jiangdong is the Overlord of Western Chu.
This level of loyalty and uprightness is far from enough.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came faintly from behind.
The pioneer officer said hurriedly: "No, the enemy is coming. General, let's run."
Now Taira Takarada still had the courage to die, so he hurriedly mounted his horse and fled in a panic towards Echizen Prefecture.
After running for about half an hour, although the sound of horse hooves behind him had not faded away, Ping Zhongzheng had already seen hope and thought that his territory was not far ahead. As long as he persisted, he could save his life for the time being.
However, in a mountain forest in front, there were more than twenty men with their faces covered in tree paint. Although their faces could not be seen, no one wanted to take a second look at those cold eyes.
I don't know if they are dead people, or if they only see dead people.
Suddenly I heard the sound of a bamboo flute.
"coming."
A rich voice said.
Swish, swish, swish!
More than twenty people drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the road down the mountain.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a sound of horse hooves, followed by a squeaking sound that could only be made by a full bow.
When Ping Zhongzheng was leading his family generals here, they heard the sound of "swish, swish" and more than twenty arrows falling from the sky. They also heard the sound of "ah ah ah". Ping Zhongzheng and all his
All the generals fell to the ground at the sound, and there was the neighing of war horses on the road.
"Solve everything. Go back and report to the military advisor."
As soon as he finished speaking, these twenty or so people disappeared into the cold and wet mountain forest.
.......
Two days later, Yuezhongzhou was reached.
"Oh, this Genji really disappointed me. In the end, we had to help him."
Niu Gao sat on the chair, grinned and laughed. After a moment, he suddenly asked Zhao Jingyan, who was resting with his eyes closed: "Military advisor, do you think they will notice that we are manipulating them?"
Zhao Jingyan closed her eyes and said calmly: "Don't worry, many people are rushing to claim this credit. No matter who the other party is, as long as they are the first to see Ping Zhongzheng's body, they will definitely take the credit. In fact, it is
To Genji, it doesn’t matter who killed Taira Tamasa. What’s important is that Taira Tamasa is dead, and besides, we still used their arrows.”
Niu Gao chuckled and said, "As a military advisor, you know what's going on. You know that those idiots from the Genji family can't kill Ping Zhongzheng."
"It's nothing, just a little more cautious."
Having said this, Zhao Jingyan suddenly opened her eyes, stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "Okay, now it's finally time for us to play."
Niu Gao laughed and said: "I, Old Niu, can't wait for a long time."
