Chapter 1552 The famous general who died in the country, of course not the villain
From the fierce fighting to the preparations for mopping up, most of the Jin army who resisted desperately could no longer withstand the insurgents who were encircling them from all sides. There were only a few groups of soldiers and horses within a ten-mile radius around Taiyuan City to continue to chase away the fleeing insurgents. Most of the others The military officers and soldiers have also begun to clean up the battlefield, collect the corpses, and search everywhere for seriously injured Brother Zepao to treat them quickly.
The bloody battlefield was full of soldiers and horses of the Jin Army who were not dead. Although many Jurchen soldiers were missing arms and legs and collapsed on the ground unable to continue fighting, they still looked ferocious and shouted loudly in Jurchen language. Of course, they were all cursed and killed by the rebel soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield. The remaining defeated troops, mainly Khitan, Zahu and Han people who were injured and captured by the Jurchens, also began to be killed in batches by soldiers from various ministries. Watching them in horror, they were temporarily detained as if they were driving away animals.
Regardless of whether the defeated Jin army was dead or alive, all their clothes and armor were stripped off, and their weapons and weapons were piled up into a hill. Not only were they also confiscated a large number of war-torn and homeless people who were wandering on the battlefield, they were still alive. The horses from the north galloped in fright, and the Jin army mobilized an army to besiege Taiyuan City. What was left behind were thousands of artillery stones, crash carts, goose carts, bridges, cloud ladders, fire ladders and other siege equipment, enough to supply tens of thousands of soldiers. The army's several-month ration of grain and grass, apart from the grain that had to be provided for disaster relief due to the Jin army's plundering Kouchaozhuang town, was naturally collected by Xiao Tang for use by his own army.
Xiao Tang had ordered all troops to clean up the battlefield, and after pursuing the remaining Jin army, he rushed to Taiyuan City to rest and settle down. Then he led his troops directly to Taiyuan City with Lu Junyi, Lu Zhishen, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu and other brothers. At that time, they also bumped into Wang Zhen, who had also gone through a bloody battle before he could catch his breath. Wang Xun and his men suddenly came out of the city and cooperated with other rebels to surprise the Jin Army's imperial troops.
In front of him, most of the Song officers and soldiers, who were mainly the remnants of the victorious army, were scarred. Although Xiao Tang had already noticed that Wang Zhen's eyes looked at him, which seemed a little unkind, but he fought hard to the last moment and did not kill again until just now. The small group of Jin Army soldiers and horses who resisted were defeated. At this time, it seemed that they were too injured to withstand the bumps of the horses. Wang Zhen sat cross-legged on the ground for a while, breathing heavily. His eyes were red, but his face was pale. He stretched out his hand to press hard. He held his waist and ribs, and blood was still oozing out from between his fingers. However, when Wang Zhen heard the sound of horse hoofs approaching, he raised his head and saw Xiao Tang leading a group of soldiers and horses heading straight towards the city of Taiyuan. It seemed that Not to be outdone, he immediately wanted to straighten up, but his steps suddenly staggered, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground again.
Although Quan Eunuch Tong Guan was fond of great achievements, eliminated dissidents, sold his official titles, replaced generals, and created rifts, etc., Quan did indeed achieve many military exploits when he was in charge of the military power in the Bianting. And Wang Zhen did indeed He was also promoted by Tong Guan and was once a powerful general under the Prime Minister. However, Xiao Tang was naturally not stupid enough to defeat everyone with a single blow based on factional differences. According to the official history, the Jin army was supposed to have attacked the city nine times. , but for more than 250 days, he was completely repulsed by Wang Zhen. He led the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend Taiyuan to the death, and finally died heroically when the Jin army broke through the city. Such heroic deeds were familiar to Xiao Tang, so He immediately stood up and dismounted, and ordered to call An Daoquan or the accompanying military doctor Zhongsu to diagnose and treat Wang's injuries. At the same time, he also personally stepped forward to help Wang.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Tang stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help, Wang Zhen waved his arm forcefully and violently opened Xiao Tang's probing hand. He looked at it sideways and sneered: "Nowadays, the Jin bandits are rampant and the mountains and rivers are in turmoil.
, the country is in dire straits, but you, Xiao Tang, and the green forest and grass bandits under your command have benefited. They were originally evil party thieves who brought trouble to one side, but now they have become meritorious ministers. It is indeed you, Xiao Tang, who saved the Holy Emperor and killed him.
The Tatars rescued many people. We, the generals of the army, did not do enough to fight against the foreign invaders. It is also worthy of provoking the ridicule of the world. Unexpectedly, you have received the favor of the officials and the emperor and acted as a vassal commander in the name of resisting the Jin. You are stubborn bandits.
The rebels have to mount their horses to manage the army and dismount their horses to manage the people, but can they be even remotely loyal to the court?"
Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, but then he understood. He was a loyal military officer who sacrificed his life to defend the city, but he was extremely hostile to the Green Forest troops who had broken away from the rule of the dynasty and were in opposition to the imperial court. Is there a conflict between the two? In fact, there is no conflict.
There is also a theory about the description of Wang Zhen in the original work of Water Margin, which is to smear him, a loyal general who died for his country, as a villain who framed the heroes of Liangshan.
When he wanted to put on a dragon robe and play around, Wang Zhen saw him and scolded him, but Ruan Xiaoqi was not afraid of anything. When he was sexually active, he only regarded the emperor's authority as a shitty master. Since he joined the army, he had always been a member of the regular imperial army.
The official pointed the needle at the maize and scolded the king for being a donkey and a horse. He bullied his brothers when they saw their achievements and achievements were reversed. He also bluntly said that the court did not know the details and only sent a master who was nominally assisting but was powerful. This is the official history of the official history.
Wang Zhen, who participated in the conquest of La in the south of the Yangtze River and had personally killed enemy generals in front of dangerous battle formations in the Water Margin, heard that it was not surprising that the two of them almost lost their temper and risked their lives.
From the perspective of the Jianghu, Ruan Xiaoqi wearing a dragon robe and playing around is a free and happy behavior of a green forest hero who despises the imperial power. However, assuming the actual situation, he did indeed die. All generations in the dynasty are not emperors.
The family has to wear dragon robes to show off their appearance. No matter you are a prince, general or minister, there are still many people who have been punished and punished. Ruan Xiaoqi, who was awarded the title of hero for conquering the three major bandits, received nothing more than covering the Tianjun and serving as the governor of the capital.
, and then Wang reported him and held him accountable for committing a taboo crime, but he only deprived Ruan Xiaoqi of his official title and became a commoner. However, he was happy in his heart. He returned to Po Shijie Village in Liangshan and still made a living by fishing to support his old mother.
Wang Zhen also ended his feud with Ruan Xiaoqi at the age of 60, and finally died a good death in his sixties. At any rate, he was not as determined as Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and his gang to force Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others to death.
Moreover, Wang Zhen, who was filled with hatred, reported Ruan Xiaoqi's words: "I once wore a square wax ochre-yellow robe and a dragon's robe and a jade belt. Although it was just for fun for a while, in the end, I had bad intentions. It also covers the heaven and earth and the remote people are barbarians. I will definitely
"Causing rebellion", Wang Zhen, who had promptly rejected the strongman who once rebelled against the imperial court, could not possibly put an end to Ruan Xiaoqi's character. (What's more, if the imperial court was stupid, giving Ruan Xiaoqi a living hell who could gather a group of brothers to copy
From the perspective of the imperial court, the words reported by Wang seemed to be correct), and Ruan Xiaoqi did not insist that Ruan Xiaoqi had the evil intention to plot rebellion at that time. As a general of the imperial army who was loyal to the imperial court,
, he encountered the treasonous behavior of the green forest leader who was recruited and reported it to the police. If it was said that this was a crime of fabrication to frame a villain who persecuted Zhongliang, Xiao Tang felt that Wang Zhen was not considered a traitor, but Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and other powerful traitors.
They were all loyal Song generals who were determined to resist the Jin Dynasty. However, in the official history, the conflict between Yue Fei and Wang Yan was so serious that Yao Gu delayed his fighter plane and failed to rescue Zhongshi.
He committed suicide in anger after being demoted and suppressed, and Zhang Jun and Wu Jie falsely accused and persecuted Qu Duan. Qu Duan also killed Wang Shu in the army and refused to send reinforcements to support Li Xiaozhong who was defending Shaanzhou. Compared with Wang Zhen in the Water Margin
The so-called dispute with Ruan Xiaoqi, Xiao Tang felt that the internal fighting within the Song army was more harmful. Wang Zhen was hostile to the origins of his own rebels, but his attitude was kept on the surface.
On the surface, they share the same hatred with each other, but secretly, they may be stabbed at any time, which makes Xiao Tang feel more at ease.
Even if you regard me as an enemy, I will never flatter you. And I do respect the heroic deeds you will do without hesitation. As long as you still focus on resisting the foreign invaders who are causing trouble in the Central Plains, that is enough.
Xiao Tang thought it over in his mind and didn't take it seriously. He just smiled slightly, got up and continued walking towards Taiyuan City with the brothers behind him who were already looking angry. However, Wang Zhen seemed to have punched cotton.
Without any effort, he stared again. Although his eyes were still full of hostility when he stared at Xiao Tang, the expression on his face also added a touch of complexity.
