Chapter 1577 Next to Liao'erwa, the track of the Jin Army
The sharp butcher's knife was lifted by Cai Fu's iron arm, and it immediately turned into a fierce light and slashed down. Hot blood spurted out, and Du Chong's head was cut off cleanly. Although it was only a head, the news
When people hear it, they can't help but be stunned.
Of course, those notorious traitors who died at the hands of Xiao Tang could probably be counted with two hands, and Du Chong deserved to be killed. But being good at killing ministers was a taboo in the imperial family, and anyone with a discerning eye would know that.
Nowadays, the relationship between the imperial court and the troops under Xiao Tang's command is very delicate. Such over-the-top actions as killing the left-behind prince of Daming Palace in Beijing without permission will undoubtedly irritate the sensitive nerves of the Song court.
However, Xiao Tang knew very well that Du Chong, a sycophant who had wronged the country, could only be killed by him, otherwise he would not be able to clean up his evil deeds, and would probably have to let him continue to harm the Song army that was still useful at the moment.
After he was like a ball of loose sand, he immediately turned his back and threw himself into the army to become a traitor to the Song Dynasty. As for whether killing this guy violated the taboo of the faint emperor Zhao Huan, no matter how strong and upright the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were, they still hated Du Chong and ruined the country.
He had to worry about committing a serious crime of killing a minister without permission. Xiao Tang knew that he was the only one who had no worries at all.
On the contrary, Xiao Tang has now begun to deliberately arouse the court's suspicion of him. Since he will fall out sooner or later, I will give you a reason to break up.
Once the birds and beasts are gone and the good bows are hidden, once the Jin Kingdom is no longer a serious threat, Xiao Tang can also predict that the Song Dynasty will turn around and figure out how to eliminate himself. And as a person who has rebelled before
Now the more outstanding the achievements of the uncontrolled ministers in conquering the Jinlu, the more urgent it will be for the court to get rid of themselves. Killing Du Chong will be a serious crime for the court to kill the ministers in vain.
, and had the reason to fall out and accuse Xiao Tang of being a traitor, but this guy only broke the banks of the Yellow River and killed more than 200,000 Song people. Who did Xiao Tang kill?
But the people of Li knew it well. They defeated the Jin army several times, and how the rebels under Xiao and Tang fought with their lives were also seen by the people in various places. If the Song Dynasty used this as an excuse to raise troops to attack itself, what would happen to the mountains and rivers?
How many twists and turns can the people's hearts in turmoil after the near fall and separation go through? Therefore, after Xiao Tang thought about it, he knew that his act of killing Du Chong without authorization seemed extremely domineering and reckless. Although this move was to stimulate the court, it was also in line with the people's hearts.
...
Now the people of the Song Dynasty are working together to resist the aggression of the Jin army and foreign invaders, and they are building power by killing the traitors who killed the people and harmed the country. If Xiao Tang Sifu one day wants to seize the territory of the Central Plains, it will be his own power, and the attitude of the people of the Song Dynasty will not be called a general.
It will be a meal of rice and wine in order to welcome the king's master, but it will never arouse the strong resistance of the righteous and brave villagers everywhere like when the Jin people invaded the Central Plains.
As for Du Chong who stayed in Beijing, he was killed by Xiao Tang in front of his own eyes.
Qiong was guarded by two troops. When the Jin army attacked Xiangzhou, Xue Guang returned to the city injured and died. Zhao Bushi knew that the city could not be defended, so he made an agreement with the Jin soldiers not to kill Song people and then jumped into a well to die for the country. Zhang Qiong, who stayed behind to control, also committed suicide to show his integrity.
) had verbally opposed it, but it was only because Xiao Tang's skill in killing important ministers was indeed too domineering, but they were also disdainful of Du Chong's misdeeds of harming the country and harming the people. Now that the deal was done, the Bianjing court did not respond for a while, and Zhao Bu
The officials of the Song Dynasty were willing to settle down Xiao Tang's rebel troops. It was not until two days later that the rebel troops came quickly from the Jingdong Road and informed Xiao Tang of the military intelligence at this corner of Jingdong Road.
Although the Jin army and the puppet Qi army were defeated in a surprise attack on Yanggu, and Wuyan Puluhun, Pang Yi and other enemy chiefs died fighting against the Song traitor generals, they heard that the rebels were showing mercy, and the three generals Zou Yuan and Zheng Tianshou died heroically. Xiao
Most of the Bujie troops led by Yi Suo suffered casualties, and Wu Song, who fought bloody battles, was seriously injured and had his left arm's tibia broken. He was unconscious for several days until he was rescued by Shi Bao's rebel cavalry and returned. He is now dead.
After being escorted to Shuibo Liangshan to teach Tang Pengxiu for treatment, Xiao Tang couldn't help but sigh. Although he was used to life and death in battles and killings, he couldn't help but feel melancholy when he thought of the friendship of gathering together for the righteousness.
The great luck in the misfortune is that although Wu Song broke an arm and almost died, he was not chopped to pieces. After recuperation, he should be able to save his left arm, but I am afraid he will need to rest for several months.
It took a long time, and it was not known whether he could move as freely as before. However, Xiao Tang naturally knew that with Wu Song's fierceness, even if his arm was really broken, sooner or later he would still set foot on the battlefield again and capture the enemy.
Killed to death.
As for Da Dao Wenda, who escaped from Hebei and wandered around for a while, he first joined Tang Bin's resolute army. Xiao Tang and his colleagues who were in the left-behind department of Daming Prefecture knew that Wen Da, although a bit of a philistine and greedy for fame, was a human being.
His temperament is not bad. Whether it is from the original work or previous interactions, he was also very considerate of his colleagues in the army when he was serving in the left-behind division.
He made it clear that he was only afraid that one of the two would be injured internally). Although there had been disputes between officials and bandits back then, Wen Da was now unwilling to defect to the puppet Qi like Li Cheng, his old partner for many years, and instead became a minion of the Jin.
Xiao Tang's understanding of him should not be deceptive. The more soldiers the merrier would be if he had a general who was willing to help him achieve his great cause.
However, when the leader who reported the news reported the military intelligence battle report on the other side of the boundary of Mingjing East Road, Xiao Tang's brows gradually furrowed, and his face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of haze:
Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Jeju and the commander-in-chief of the East and West Route Army, was suddenly ambushed when he was rushing to attack Qingfu and other prefectures, counties and towns that were invaded by the Jin army. After resisting for several days, he was attacked again by Wanyan Wushu.
, the main force of the Jin army, including 15,000 Guaizi horses and 5,000 Tiefutu, launched an all-out attack. Although Zhang Shuye sent strong cavalry to break through and ask for help from Xiao Jiasui and Liu Fa's rebels, he also organized the Song army
The desperate counterattack was completely defeated because it was difficult to cope with the outflanking and frontal attack of Guaizima and Tiefutu. The 30,000 Song soldiers were almost wiped out. Zhang Shuye, Zhang Bofen, and Zhang Zhongxiong's son were captured. Wanyan Wu
Shu took advantage of the situation and marched his army eastward, and had already defeated the Jizhou Administrative Office, Xingren Mansion, Guangji Army, Shanzhou and other places. The military situation was critical. The Song army everywhere was really unable to stop the Jin army...

Liangshan Bo, Liao'erwa.
Ripples were drawn on the mirror-like surface of the water as the breeze blew by, and the sparkling water reflected the surrounding peaks. Although it was also a beautiful sight, several groups of blankets suddenly appeared beside the water.
Among the Jurchen knights wearing hats and leather armor, many of them had wet sabers with blood stains on them. They all looked ferocious and ferocious, and their sudden appearance here was quite a sight.
A whistle sounded, and a Jurchen cavalryman urged his horse forward. He looked at the shadowy Liangshan Dazhai across the water for a moment, then suddenly spat and said in a ferocious voice: "We have washed away several counties, towns and villages in Jeju, but only
We bumped into some scattered people from the Southern Dynasty and Song Dynasty, but we didn't snatch many slaves. Most of the people in Zhemo had already been led by the Shuibo grass bandits here to the other side of the lake. That bird mountain was called Shuibo Liangshan? It was Xiao Tang
The den of thieves? It is said that the lake is eight hundred miles away, and it does seem to have some momentum, but the Yellow River natural barrier that the Southern Dynasty relies on has still come and gone several times. How long can the water of this mere lake hold back the army of the Jin Kingdom? "
However, as the Jurchen general said what he was saying, he suddenly saw a few boats jumping out of the reed swamp on the opposite side, and the water was rolling towards them as if they were sleeping. It didn't take long before he saw those boats.
There were more than ten people in each group, all holding weapons in their hands. On the bow of the ship at the front stood a man wearing a green bamboo hat and a green raincoat.
When the group of Jurchen knights who had arrived at the waterside started shouting to themselves, the man standing on the bow of the boat looked back and forth with a pair of strangely fleshy and bumpy faces, and suddenly he put his arms on his hips and laughed loudly.
He got up and immediately waved the Jin soldiers on the other side and shouted loudly: "You guys are so bold, you dare to come and annoy grandpa! The three brothers of the Ruan family, the master, have always only loved to kill Tatars, and they only killed the smallest men.
What do you get? It’s not enough to just chop them all up and throw them into the moor and feed them to the fish. Why don’t you go and gather more birds so that after some time, you can catch some plump fish!”
