Chapter 1774 The army's heart is scattered, a precursor to a large number of defections
Wu Wenyan's face suddenly darkened. The meaning of Xiao Tang's words obviously meant that during the Song-Xia War, his army in Linxia City was almost attacked by the Xia Army. Taking advantage of the chaos, Cai, the supervisor of the army, and his immediate boss Pei Zhong,
They were all killed by Wu! Now you are falsely accusing Qu Duan of treason, but in fact Pei Zhong back then and Qu Duan now are stumbling blocks in your official career? This is why
You, Wu, are the main motive for getting rid of them! But when Zhang Jun, who is currently supervising the Song Army's troops, learns of the good deeds you did back then, what will he think?
After all, it was an old thing. Even if Xiao Tang wanted to reveal the matter, it would only be a one-sided statement between him and a few of his followers who were present at the time. However, Wu Anfu and Zhang Jun repeatedly committed the crime due to wrongdoing, and finally had to persuade him to kill him.
In addition to the disaster, he was also troubled by the incident of escaping. Now his mind is particularly sensitive. If he is still entangled with him because he killed the military envoy one after another, and the superior officer in the army continues to confront him, Zha Mowu must go.
Zhang Jun, the Shangguan who relied on him to ensure his success in officialdom, might also be suspicious of him.
After weighing the interests, Wu Xinzhi found it inconvenient to ask Xiao Tang about Qu Duan's whereabouts, so he had to change the subject and confront Xiao Tang again. The panting Zhang Jun glared angrily outside the city, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hit him.
After breaking up with Wu, he immediately shouted loudly: "Xiao Shuai, since you said you came to comfort us that the border troubles of the Jinlu in the northwest have been eliminated, now you have already said all the words you should say. Do you still want me to be a big official?"
Open the city gate, lead your troops into the city, and then hold a big banquet to reward everyone, can’t you take care of it!?”
Xiao Tang laughed loudly when he saw this, and replied loudly: "How dare you trouble Xianggong Zhang again? Guarding the border and appeasing the people are all complicated, and I can't do more trouble. I'll take my leave here. I can only hope that one day
When the situation is peaceful, I can still meet with Mr. Zhang and General Wu!"
After speaking loudly, Xiao Tang made another gesture, and the tens of thousands of horse and infantry soldiers around him began to retreat solemnly in an orderly manner. However, the clanging of iron armor, the rumble of hoofbeats, and the mighty military appearance still showed off their might.
Half a point. On the other hand, most of the Song army officers and soldiers on the top of Xinghua City had complicated expressions, and each of them seemed to be thinking deeply.
When Zhang Jun saw Xiao Tang arriving, he was willing to leave. He let out a long breath, and then looked at each other with Liu Ziyu, Wu and other subordinates beside him, when he suddenly heard Xiao Tang's subordinates who had turned to leave.
Among the tens of thousands of troops, loud and clear singing broke out in unison. The sonorous and powerful singing was so powerful that it stopped the clouds and moved Liang Chen. It waited until it was clearly transmitted to the ears of the many Song army soldiers on the walls of Xinghua City.
, and also taught them that they all couldn’t help but be moved and sigh!
"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north. The dragon curls up, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost..."
At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Tong Guan, Zhong Shidao and others were in command. Xiao Tang first participated in the Song-Xia national war as the deputy supervisor of the army. In the end, Xiao Tang fought against the Chage army and rescued the veteran general Liu Fa, while other Song armies conquered the Xia Dynasty.
The country's Hengshan Mountain was naturally dangerous, and the Xia Kingdom, which lost its barrier and was in danger of subjugation, finally surrendered to the Song Dynasty. When the troops were celebrating and drinking with the soldiers of the Western Army before returning to the capital, the song sung by Xiao Tang on the spur of the moment was very easy to understand.
, catchy and catchy, and more importantly, it also taught the soldiers of the Western Army who have guarded the Western Border for generations to empathize and be full of pride, and it quickly spread among the various departments of the Western Army.
But at this time of year, when the soldiers of the Song Imperial Forbidden Army, who were mainly the remnants of the Western Army in Xinghua City, heard the soldiers of the rebel army led by Xiao Tang over there singing this song that they were already familiar with, they felt even more deeply in their hearts. is intense...
I have also heard that Shangguan Xianggong once said that Xiao Tang was called a vassal commander, but he was actually a rebellious minister. Although he also resisted the Jin army's foreign invaders, it was only temporary expediency to support him. Xiao Tang always had a rebellious heart and would serve the country in the long run. Big trouble... But those rebellious ministers and traitors that the Prime Minister said repeatedly drove away the Jin Army Tatars who invaded the country. Most of the folks in our hometown were saved by the rebel soldiers and horses of the Marshal's Office under his command. In the midst of fire and water, what did we, the son of a bitch in the army, do again? We were ordered by the imperial court to be tied up here and not to engage in reckless war with the Jinlu Tatars. Even though we were willing to risk our lives to fight with the foreign invaders, but if we lightly To move is to disobey the decree!
It was he, Xiao Tang, who determined the disasters and helped the country, expelled the Tatars, and saved the people. It was also he, Xiao Tang, who devoured the country and devoured the Jinlu army, and finally taught us how to gather the endless hatred and resentment in our hearts. , and it is still Xiao Tang! Because he is not very loyal to the official family, sooner or later we will have to confront the anti-gold heroes led by him? Even except for Xiao Tang, would our family and fellow villagers have been able to make a living? Okay? How can you, your high-ranking official, look down upon us, the mud-legged people from the army? I heard that he raised the banner of doing justice for heaven and worked hard to teach the people of the Song Dynasty to live in peace and contentment under his rule. In the final analysis, the relationship between the official family and the The officials in Bianjing looked down upon him as a rebellious official and a traitor. One day, we will have no choice but to fight with Xiao Tang's troops... Who is the real culprit among the country and the people? ?
Once a sense of grief and indignation arises in the heart, it can't help but spread among the Song Army soldiers. The Western Army generals at the top of Xinghua City each looked at the rebel troops who were retreating away on the opposite side with complicated expressions. They were originally nervous. The palms that were tightly holding the ordnance could not help but slowly relax. Many soldiers sighed in their hearts. Suddenly, more than ten people started to start, and soon the soldiers around them also took a deep breath, and responded to leave one after another. The soldiers who left the rebel army sang in unison, and they all sang loudly:
"Hateful and mad, the long sword is directed at it. How many loyal souls of brothers and sisters are buried in a foreign country... Why would I die to serve my family and country? I can't bear to sigh, but I am speechless, and my eyes are full of blood and tears..."
The soldiers of the two sides, who were originally in a vague confrontation inside and outside Xinghua City, at this time echoed each other and sang the same song that could directly express the heroic feelings in their hearts. A heroic and tragic feeling seemed to fill the world in an instant. .
Xiao Tang, who was riding his horse forward, also heard the chorus of Song soldiers singing in response from Xinghua City behind him. He also had a smile on his face, looking very calm and a little emotional.
The purpose of this trip has been completely achieved...
However, for Zhang Jun, who was watching coldly from the tower, to be honest, he was deeply moved by the majestic and desolate atmosphere around him. However, when he saw that the Song armies under his command not only did not embrace Xiao Tang's troops, Although there was no hostility, on the contrary, they seemed to be closely connected, and he was completely affected by the words of the rebellious official and traitor. This also made Zhang Jun feel more complicated. After all, he was a traitor who was a serious problem to the official family, and now he used such methods. Inciting the morale of our own soldiers... Now it seems that compared to the Jinlu foreign invaders, Xiao Tang is indeed a greater threat to the imperial court!
When the surrounding officials of the Xuanfu Disposal Department saw that Zhang Jun's face had become increasingly ugly, some of them picked up the swords on their shoulders and immediately turned around and ran towards him with the swords sheathed. A Dutou official who sang the most joyfully from close by beat him over and yelled loudly: "How impudent! In front of Mr. Xuanfu, you have no scruples. How can you tolerate the noise and trouble of your fellows! Why don't you shut up quickly?" If you cut off the bird's beak, don't sing any more!"
Unexpectedly, the Dutou official grabbed the saber that was pointed at his head, and immediately stared and cursed: "Bah! We sing to ourselves, what can we do to you! I sang that I was willing to die to serve the country, how many brothers Pao Ze sighed You have fought so hard that your loyal soul is buried in your bones, but you can't go north to risk your life to fight with the Tatars! Why, what kind of taboo has this violated? Don't think you guys are also guilty of being punished by Dingqudu, and you can't come to take me! ?”
With such a commotion, a commotion broke out above the city. Wu's face was ashen. He only glanced at his brother Wu, and immediately stepped forward to shout to stop the angry soldiers. Wu's brows could not help but frown. His face became more solemn, and he couldn't help but say in his heart:
Originally, the Jin army was so fierce that it was difficult to stop it. Even if the war started again one day, Xuanfu had planned and deployed it to seize the strategic pass connecting Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan. Fighting to the death, and mobilizing the people from all over the country to unite, it is enough to curb the momentum of the Jinlu's invasion... But if the invading enemy army will one day change to the time of Xiao and Tang... Seriously Can we inspire soldiers and civilians everywhere to work together as one? We are waiting here to defend to the death, but can we really defend it?
