Chapter 565 I can't be a father! It's time to go back
At this time, Xiao Tang, who returned to Yujia Tuan Village in Daming Prefecture, had learned that Aguda suddenly launched an attack on Jiangning Prefecture and defeated the local garrison. Only ten days later, Aguda led another 3,700 troops.
The remaining people were in Yahebei to attack Xiao Sixian, the Liaodong rebel army, when Xiao Wuna's troops suddenly launched an attack.
The Liao soldiers who were originally preparing to cross the river were defeated by Aguda and were defeated. Instead, the Jurchen army took advantage of the momentum to cross the river and land ashore. When the two armies had a decisive battle at Chuhedian, Aguda took advantage of the windy weather and once again defeated the Liao soldiers with a small number and a large number.
In this battle, a large number of Jurchen tribes who had a wait-and-see attitude, as well as other ethnic groups in Liaodong, and even Khitan Liao soldiers chose to join Aguda's anti-Liao army, and captured a large number of horses, horses, soldiers, and weapons.
The number of troops under his command has grown to about 10,000.
The situation in Tokyo Road in the Liao Kingdom had gradually stabilized, but the situation suddenly changed after the sudden rebellion of the Jurchens. But now Xiao Tang can breathe a sigh of relief. Aguda vowed to conquer the Liao Dynasty and won two major victories in succession, so he almost lost control of the Liao Kingdom.
Baozhou and other outlying towns that were exposed to the government were able to develop peacefully for a long time.
After all, although Xiao Tang knew that the series of jaw-dropping victories achieved by Aguda and the Jurchens in the anti-Liao war had just begun, after all, the Liao country was vast, and the Jurchens still needed to control the entire territory of Liaodong.
A few years' time.
In order to fight against the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchens are now desperately trying to increase their strength, while Xiao Tang also wants to accumulate the strength to compete with the Jin Army in the future, and is seizing every day to expand the population under his rule...
"Brother, are we preparing to return to Bianjing now?" Xu Guanzhong pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Tang in the bookstore in the courtyard of Yujia Tuanzhuang.
Xiao Tang nodded slightly and said in deep thought: "It was heard in Baozhou that Huanzhang was in charge of the military and civil affairs. There were also brothers Yuan Lang, Qiang, Han Shizhong and other brothers who led the Jishan Army and the Yuan Army. The Bohai Cavalry shot 1 shot, and various ethnic groups rode with bows and horses.
I feel relieved that the Yan family brothers and other leaders are recruiting refugees from Liaodong one after another.
Although I have been passing through coastal towns in Liaodong, it would be best for me to stay in Baozhou and take charge of the overall situation. However, I have been pretending to die for some time, and it is difficult to find the warmth and warmth of people in the court. If I continue to wear it out, I am afraid that the court will soon forget it.
I am such a number one person... Even though the problem of redundant and weak imperial troops in various parts of the Song Dynasty has become more and more serious, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and other treacherous ministers only control military power, and sooner or later there will be disasters, but since there are still
I have no chance to confront him, and now is not the time for me to leave officialdom."
Xu Guanzhong nodded, and then sighed and said: "Brother has formed a deadly feud with Gao Qiu. Now in our Song Dynasty, there are Tong Guan, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng and other treacherous ministers taking power. I heard that the treacherous prime minister Cai Jing is also at this time."
I have returned to Bianjing, and I am afraid that I will be reused by the officials again... Most of those guys are jealous of talents and block the way of talents. My brother intends to revive the imperial court, and he also wants to compete with Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, etc. in the military power of the Song Dynasty army.
I'm afraid that if traitors quarrel, sooner or later they will not be tolerated by those traitors... The officialdom is full of twists and turns, and the dangers involved may not be less than when my brother stumbled in the green forest."
"Since this is the path I have decided to take, of course I have to continue on it..."
Xiao Tang said leisurely, and then said to Xu Guanzhong: "I have sent a letter to Xiao Jiasui, Yang Xu and other brothers to let them know that I will return to Bianjing today. Sanlang, Hua Rong and other brothers have also prepared the chariot battle.
We first escort Jin Niang, Peng Xiu, Zhan Ling and others back to Bianjing. However, a few of us disappeared while on a mission to Liao. In addition to brothers Shi Jin, we also have to return to Liao to report to the local government.
Only then can I be taken back to the Song Dynasty."
After Xu Guanzhong responded, he asked Xiao Tang: "Since I'm so tired, when should we set off?"
Xiao Tang smiled bitterly, and while looking out the window of Shuxuan, he said: "Based on the current situation, the sooner the better."
Xu Guanzhong understood the meaning of Xiao Tang's words and couldn't help but smile. Then he and Xiao Tang looked out the window and saw Su Jinniang, Tang Pengxiu and other female family members sitting in the pavilion in the bamboo forest in the courtyard talking.
Although there is nothing different about Su Jinniang's slender willow waist now, because her Tiankui has not arrived in the past month, Su Jinniang, who is aware of it, hastily taught Tang Pengxiu to check her pulse. As expected, Su Jinniang is already pregnant.
Xiao Tang, who had never been a father in his previous life, was naturally filled with excitement and joy when he learned that he was going to be a father for the first time... But the problem came, Xiao Tang was in Yujia Tuanzhuang during this period. He secretly had a romantic relationship with Su Jinniang when he was staying with his family in the hospital. However, he still had to return to the Liao border with Xu Guanzhong, Yan Qing, Xiao Yi and others, and went around in a big circle to report to the Liao officials, saying that he was not actually He could not return to the Song Dynasty without being killed in Liaodong. After all this trouble, as Su Jinniang's belly slowly swelled, it seemed to the world that Xiao Tang and his wife were clearly separated by two places, so where did this child come from?
Although Xiao Tang knows that he is his biological father, in the eyes of others, he obviously "wants to be a father"...
Although Xiao Tang knew that the wealthy family living next door to his mansion in Bianjing was not named Wang, before he rushed back to Bianjing, the signs of Su Jinniang's pregnancy were already very obvious, and she might even have given birth. It could be delayed. As time goes by, I'm afraid that my wife's secret birth of a child in the house will be known... Then in the eyes of others, not only is Xiao Tang wearing the green hat on his head, but Su Jinniang's reputation for innocence will also be very good. It's disadvantageous.
Xu Guanzhong suppressed his laughter and said: "My brother said so, and we must hurry rather than later. Now that Xiao Yi is staying in Baozhou, we, Xiao Yi, and Duan Jingzhu must also hurry up." Rushed to join him... It's just that Xiao Yi followed his brother's instructions and had Shi Qian and other brothers to help him. As his brother expected, some people since the officers and soldiers of the Liao Dynasty found out about our Baozhou territorial autonomy. His behavior is very strange. If he is allowed to act secretly in Baozhou, he will definitely become a hidden danger in the military town under the rule of my brother."
"To gather together with the heroes in the green forest, what is important is to share the same spirit of loyalty. And for some desperate heroes who help out in a righteous way, they will also be grateful and willing to join us in a righteous cause, which is enough to trust.
But after all, there will still be some people for whom morality and affection are not worth mentioning. Although those people can be used by me for a while, they can also be of great use in the short term. But what they want may be He is an official and a noble, and may be the dominant party. According to the changes in the current situation in this world, all agencies are just seeking greater fame... What they want, I really can't satisfy them now, so there are some People will have different minds, which is something I expected."
Xiao Tang said with emotion, and then added: "As Sanlang usually says, people who can achieve great things are mostly cruel and ruthless people. What's more, Xiao Yi has been observing in Baozhou for a long time, and that person has already missed something. Of course we can’t just sit idly by and ignore our whereabouts...
I'll send another letter to Baozhou. I'll just let my close friends know that I'm going to Baozhou by sea. Now it's true that only by eliminating that hidden danger can I return to Bianjing with peace of mind."
