Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Xu Qing, and Yao Zheng led more than a thousand martyrs to Anyang City, Xiangzhou Governor's Office. When they defected to Liu Hao, a local Wuyi doctor who recruited martyrs, they were immediately incorporated into the official army again.
However, Yue Fei was only temporarily dispatched by the low-level military officer of the battalion commander, and as expected, the rebel army was recruited and gathered together with Xiangzhou. The defeated army had to be temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of the Marshal's Mansion, waiting for military orders.
At the same time, Xiao Tang's vanguard troops headed north had also entered the boundary of Hedong Road.
Although most of the Imperial Guards under the Song Dynasty were depleted, and there were too many idiots among the generals and generals in the ranks, and even the cotton-padded clothes necessary for soldiers in the cold winter had to be exploited and deducted, the wealth accumulated by the wealthy dynasty over the years was still
, the ordnance and equipment stored in the armored warehouse in Bianliang, Tokyo, are well-equipped and complete. It was almost robbed by the Jin army and used in the future to equip the Jin army and invade the Song Dynasty again. Now.
However, Xiao Tang captured a certain amount of armaments, and in accordance with the order, he transferred countless iron armors, vests, helmets and ordnance to Shuibo Liangshan and the baggage troops heading north.
And now, including the Lianma of the formation-breaking army and the Modao battalion of the formation-defeating army, many units that have high demand for equipment manufacturing and high quality of soldiers have passed through Jin Guodong, who was previously commanded by Wanyan Orulubu.
The troops of the Lu army were depleted during the fighting. Now they have been able to replenish a huge amount of military equipment. The Jin army has gone south to invade the Song Dynasty. It is also at this time that a large number of civilians were attacked in Hedong, Hebei, Gyeonggi and other places.
The rebels who fought against the Jin Dynasty emerged. Many of the heroes who were determined to fight against the Jin Dynasty included a large number of green forests and grasslands, but they also included many loyal ministers and righteous men like Yue Fei who were loyal to the country but had to die for the king. Now, regardless of the Song Dynasty,
Whether the imperial court was still the center, whether it had accepted Xiao Tang's betrayal of the Song court, and the national crisis, Xiao Tang was favored by the officials and was humiliated to open the Shuai Si Fu Yamen to take charge of the land control and the Northern Expedition. This also attracted many people who originally opposed the Song Dynasty.
The strong bandit soldiers and horses from the green forest rejected the local heroes who were very concerned about joining, and selected those who were brave and good at fighting to supplement the strength of the horse and infantry units under their command.
Among them were Yan Xiaoguang and Yan Zhen's uncle and daughter, who came from Yangzhou thousands of miles away to help.
Xiao Tang also knew that Yan Xiaoguang's ancestor, Yan Shu, not only assisted the country and benefited the world, but was also famous for promoting famous talents. Just counting Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, etc. can be said to have been Yan Shu's disciples, and they were posthumously granted titles during the Southern Song Dynasty.
Fu Bi's father-in-law, one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion, who made the greatest contribution to the country during the two Song Dynasties. When Yan Shu was in power, he promoted Han Qi and other important ministers... There were more than a few temporary sages in the court, and none of them would be familiar to later generations.
A virtuous prime minister and famous minister?
Although it has been passed down to the Yan family, although it does not have the glory of its ancestor Yan Shu, who had abolished schools all over the country since the Five Dynasties and started to build schools since Shu, Yan Xiaoguang was suave and upright, and his loyalty to the king of the Song Dynasty was not diminished at all. According to the original trajectory
, Yan Xiaoguang was supposed to have sacrificed his life while resisting the Jin army when he was rescuing King Zhao Gou of Kang across the river, but Yan Zhengu drew her sword and killed herself when she was exhausted, blood splattered on the ground from her neck, and she died heroically for ten days... But now it is Yan Zhengu who died for the country.
The father and daughter learned that the Emperor Zhao Ji who had fled south was captured by the Jin army's pursuers, but they still went north to try to rescue the king with the determination to die. It was precisely because of this that they decided to join forces with the rebels.
Fighting and getting acquainted with Xiao Tang.
It is a pity that although Yan Xiaoguang and Yan Zhengu risked their lives to break into the Jin Army's formation and almost died in battle, they did not cause much trouble due to the small number of rebel troops they led. Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan finally escaped from the clutches of the Jin Army.
I was just glad that I didn't have to be a slave and humiliated at the feet of the prostrate foreign invaders. I was also thinking carefully about how to deal with Xiao Tang's request to send the two of them back to Bianjing. I had no idea that the pair of Yan family were willing to sacrifice themselves for the Song Dynasty king.
The loyal and righteous father and daughter who spilled their heads and blood have been left behind... It was Niu Gao and other leaders who reported to Xiao Tang that there were righteous soldiers who rushed into the Jin army's formation to fight bloody battles. When they heard that they were rushing to help from the south,
The rebels who came were led by Yan Xiaoguang and Yan Zhengu. Xiao Tang immediately ordered that these loyal father and daughter, who did not care about life and death for the country and the king, should be safely settled. The rebels under their command, Yongjian, who were killed and wounded in battle, were also easy to restrain, and according to their own side's casualties.
The poor sons and daughters should be treated equally and be cared for...
Therefore, Yan Xiaoguang and Yan Zhengu were under the care of Xiao Tang and were temporarily settled in Bianliang City, Tokyo.
It was just a matter of discussing the military affairs with Zhong Shidao, Zhang Shuye and other important officials of the imperial court. Xiao Tang decided to lead the troops in person and went to Hedong to help Wu Zizheng, who was trying his best to resist the onslaught of the Jin army from the west. Finally, he had the opportunity to summon Yan Xiaoguang.
The chief planner talked and sincerely invited the father and daughter to temporarily join their own rebel army to fight against the Jin. Xiao Tang could also tell from Yan Xiaoguang's polite reaction, but he could not help but show some hesitation in his eyebrows: This
The descendants of Yan Yuanxiangong, who is now only serving Yangzhou Weiwei Mo, also very much recognize the righteous deeds of Shuibo Liangshan, Erlongshan and other rebels in rising up to resist the Jin Dynasty, but they want to teach him to be loyal to him wholeheartedly, and even turn his head to fight with the generals.
When the Song Dynasty was an enemy, Yan Xiaoguang was afraid that he would fall out immediately. The trust established between the two parties was all because of his ability to use his fists and kicks to protect his family and the country, and he temporarily agreed to obey the Song Dynasty's approval of the world's soldiers and horses.
The Generalissimo's thoughts will also be gone.
"I don't want to teach Yishi Yan to be my private military general in Xiaotang. Since Yan and your love are loyal and brave men who are willing to die for the king of the country, I just don't want to see that there are still people when the country is in danger.
The innocent warrior was buried in vain...
Of course I hope that the father and daughter will be permanently employed in the government office established by this commander. Although military orders should be obeyed when fighting foreign invaders, no mistakes should be made. If the two of them can make great contributions to the country and the country, they will be famous.
, and when you are transferred and promoted by the imperial court, you don’t have to be subject to my control and orders all the time. Therefore, Yan Yishi, I want to call on Xun and your wife to help me, but I have resisted the Jin invaders. It is not to win over Xun and others to be filial and loyal to me, but
Is it to guard the fertile land of the Central Plains and protect the common people? Is this acceptable and reliable?"
Xiao Tang said this to Yan Xiaoguang, which also gave him reassurance. Yan Xiaoguang immediately nodded and agreed to obey Xiao Tang's orders, and temporarily transferred him to Xiao Jiasui's tent to wait for arrangements, assisting the rebels in setting up defense lines on the Heshuo line, and resisting
The Jin army marched south again from the east road.
After all, with the principles and nature of the Yan family, it is difficult for them to turn against the imperial court and conspire to rebel and subvert the orthodox dynasty. But for such loyal ministers and martyrs who are also willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the country and the country to be remembered forever, they have no choice but to do so.
At that time, Xiao Tang was also determined not to frame the persecution. At any rate, he now took the absolute initiative morally. Even if one day he still had to form a hostile relationship with the Song Dynasty, Xiao Tang often thought about it, and he might not have no plans and plans.
, rather than having to fight to the death with those righteous ministers who were loyal, filial, loyal, and left their names in history, and who were die-hard loyal to the Song Dynasty court...
However, the reputations of loyal fathers and daughters who emerged during the overlapping periods of the Song Dynasty, such as Yan Xiaoguang and Yan Zhengu, were completely different in later generations. There were also two other people, and their situations were different, and Xiao Tang had already thought of a way to deal with them.
to treat them separately.
During the battle to defeat the Jin Army's troops on the east route led by Wanyan Orulubu, Liu Yanzong, the capital of the Han Army of the Jin State, who was captured alive by the Wu Rui Army, has been taken into custody. Xiao Tang has not been detained for the time being.
Immediately ordered that the former Han official of the Liao Dynasty who had conspired for the Jin Kingdom's southern invasion be beheaded and executed. He is still imprisoned in the army prison. Along with the soldiers and horses under Xiao Tang's command, they set off north to Hedong;
On the eve of his departure, Xiao Tang led a group of confidants to the court in person and asked the officials to send a courtier to appease the soldiers and people in Hedong and take care of recovering the fallen counties and conveying the imperial edict. The envoy should accompany him.
Go north.
And Xiao Tang gave verbal hints to the court and proposed to accompany the army to Hedong to recruit the envoys. He was also the official official and censor Zhongcheng. Previously, it seemed that he was trying to preserve the royal dignity of the Holy Emperor, but his attitude towards Xiao Tang also appeared to be relatively tough.
