I don’t know who cut out the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors.
In early February, as the large-scale war came to an end, the greenery in the mountains and fields swept across the Lianghe area south of Yanshan, and the spring of the tenth year of Jianyan had fully arrived.
Taking advantage of such greenery, the sixth prince of the Jin Dynasty, who had not been summoned twice by Zhao Guan's family, led Datong to stay behind. Both Luguan and the Privy Council were ordered to lead Hong Ya, the Minister of War, and arrived under the escort of the Khan of Eastern Mongolia, Hebule.
Moved to Anle County, Dingzhou.
However, after going back and forth like this, the Anle at this time had already been occupied by the Song army. Therefore, the two took a short rest, asked for some supplies from the Song army in the city, and then rode the Mongolian horses presented by Hebule again in a hurry.
Heading northeast, we arrived at the city of Dingzhou in the evening.
The city of Dingzhou is more than a hundred miles away from Zhending, and there are three medium-sized rivers in the middle. This distance is quite embarrassing to say whether it is close or far.
Of course, Xun Luguan and Hong Ya didn't expect to be able to live comfortably here for a long time, even if this was a state city... Their plan was very simple, rest for one night, and tomorrow morning, while the city was still under the jurisdiction of the Jin Kingdom,
, try to collect some defeated troops, supplies, and livestock, and then take the local officials in the city who are willing to leave, and continue to retreat.
In fact, due to the distance, Dingzhou, which had learned the news of the defeat ahead, had long been in panic, and Mao Shuo, the governor of Dingzhou (in the Jin Kingdom system, the governor of the governor was the governor), had also promised to meet them the next day.
Let's go north together.
But when they waited until the morning of the next day, the tenth day of the second lunar month, they had only eaten half of their breakfast. They were shocked to find that they seemed to be dragging their feet.
"Mao Zhongquan (characterized by Mao Shuo), what do you mean?" After sighing, Hong Ya held a hot pancake at the dining table in the back hall and asked coldly, attracting Nian Lu who was drinking noodle soup.
I was puzzled for a moment.
"I don't have any other intention. I just asked the Sixth Prince, Mr. Hong... if he could eat faster?" Mao Shuo, who was sitting across the table, laughed dryly and tried his best to answer. "Leave early?"
"Is that all you mean?" Hong Ya sneered at him.
"Shilang Hong is overthinking." Before Mao Shuo could continue to speak, Xian Lugu, who had just drank a gulp of noodle soup, began to disagree. "Mao Ci Shi Jingkangzhong was a general of the Song Dynasty, and then served as an official in the Qi State of Liu Yu.
A subordinate, and then became an official in his own country and the governor of a state. This status was destined to be tolerated by the Song people, so they were so anxious... Actually, Mao Cishi, don't worry, Zhao Guan's family is still decent, as long as it is not
If we resist, even if the Song army comes to the city, they will at most not allow us to take away the livestock and property in the city."
Mao Shuo laughed dryly again, but did not respond.
"The Sixth Prince oversimplified the history of Mao!" Hong Ya waited patiently for Lu Guan to finish, then took a bite of the pancake, and then continued to look at the person opposite him coldly. "Mao Zhongquan, tell me the truth.
, did the Song people come with some words or messages, so you changed your mind and didn't leave? Otherwise, how could you not drink a sip of soup at home, but just sit there and urge us to eat and leave quickly? "
Zulu Guan was finally stunned.
And Mao Shuo sighed slightly, and finally became serious: "The Sixth Prince has a distinguished status, and Mr. Hong is my old boss, and I don't want to hide it... Just recently in the morning, Song Qi came to the city and sent three messages.
The will comes."
"Who are you? You need three special edicts from Zhao Song officials to recruit you?" Hong Ya became more and more angry. "I have been with the Sixth Prince twice and I haven't seen a special edict!"
"Wait a minute, you two." Mao Shuo stood up immediately after hearing this.
"I have something to say." Hong Ya quickly pinched the pancake and scolded him sternly. "The two of us came out with the terms of the peace negotiation between Zhao Guan's family and Yanjing, not escaped. If you act smart, you will only make Zhao Guan's family dislike you!
"
Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of well ropes for ten years, and Xunlu Guan was also nervous for a while.
"Xianggong Hong is thinking too much!" Mao Shuo turned around helplessly and stamped his feet. "I'll go get the three decrees for you two!"
After all, Hong Ya and Xun Luguan lost the interest in dining and could only sit and look at each other.
After a moment, Mao Shuo turned around and came back, bringing with him the three black and white notices... Hong Ya just took a glance and saw the big seal on it, and then he understood in his heart that there was no doubt that this was indeed the official family of Zhao Song.
Purpose, but it is obvious that the purpose of this announcement situation cannot be personal.
"I won't read it, and you shouldn't read it. Just tell me what it means!" Hong Ya felt a little depressed for a moment, but stood up and poured a bowl of noodle soup for himself and Xun Luguan from the big basin in the center of the table. "Look.
Let’s see what purpose made you change your mind.”
The other person just took a sip, and here Mao Shuo simply said bluntly:
"The three edicts were all drawn up the day before yesterday, that is, on the eighth day of the lunar month. They were just delivered this morning...all related to farming matters."
"farm work?"
"That's right." Mao Shuo said with emotion according to the notice in front of him. "The first edict is to request the military and local officials of the five states south of Yanshan: Fanhe East Road, Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, Datong Road, and Yanshan Road.
, regardless of whether the person appointed is from the Jin Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, he must fulfill his responsibilities, guide and appease the people, and supervise the spring plowing."
Zhen Luguan and Hong Ya looked at each other, their interest suddenly waning, and they were speechless at the same time.
"The second decree." Mao Shuo paused for a moment, and after observing the expressions of the two people opposite him, continued. "It's a little bit about military affairs, but the main subject is still farming. It means that if there are areas in the local area that have been abandoned due to previous military operations,
The large tracts of cultivated land, or the cultivated land left behind by the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom after their flight, should be reported early in the morning, and they should be cultivated as extensively as possible without wasting it. If they are really unable to do so, they will definitely send soldiers and civilians, auxiliary soldiers and some prisoners there to come.
The land should be cultivated roughly according to the land, and the cultivation should be maintained as much as possible."
Hong Ya was still speechless, but Lu Guan couldn't help but laugh dryly: "The Zhao Guan family is a benevolent emperor after all."
Mao Shuo ignored the other party and continued to talk about the third edict: "This third edict is both military and political, but it still focuses on farming... It means that the Zhao Guan family wants to pick out a lot of things from the imperial palace for consultation.
', and a large number of Jinshi were recruited from the army to accompany the army, either in groups of three or in teams of five, and escorted by small groups of troops, they went to the surrounding military states to inspect spring plowing..."
"High! It's both a high-level plan and a high-level means!" Before he finished speaking, Hong Ya raised his voice in response, and then sighed in a low voice. "It's really brilliant! No wonder Mao Zhongquan changed your mind early in the morning... I just didn't know.
Is it Zhao Guan's own pen and ink, or is it Mr. Lu who has gotten better these days and made the arrangements?"
"What's the difference? Isn't my husband also used by officials?" Mao Shuo shook his head slightly first, then nodded slightly. "But no matter what, he is indeed a master."
Of course it was brilliant, even Zhen Luguan nodded.
The situation is high, so there is no need to say more... No one else knows about such a great victory as Huolu. It has been seven or eight days. How can Dingzhou, which is hundreds of miles away, not know about it? How can the three people here not know about it? And this is such a great victory.
, that official did not make great achievements and make a grand progress, and did not massacre prisoners to show his majesty. Instead, he focused on the farming work that was forced by the season. Everything was done with farming as the axis. It really seemed to have a pattern and the priorities were clear.
Pros and cons.
In addition, just talking about the methods, it is actually very clever.
For example, take the first decree. Regardless of whether you, a local official of the Kingdom of Jin, accept it or not, you can always do it, and you should do it. No one will say that it is wrong for you to appease the people, restore order, and attach importance to spring plowing.
However, there happened to be a hint of foreshadowing and psychological hint.
Therefore, the second decree gave some people who originally wanted to surrender the opportunity to follow suit.
The next third edict is even more interesting. The so-called inspection of spring plowing, of course, refers to inspection, supervision, and inspection of spring plowing matters. But since it is an inspection, there will inevitably be judgments. Since it is a judgment, there will inevitably be advantages and disadvantages.
Forget about anything else, back to the Hebei local officials appointed by the Jin State, how should they face the working groups sent by Zhao Song officials?
First of all, should we open the city gate and let Song’s working group in?
If you don't open it, that's fine, that's a matter for the military; but if you open it, will one of the most important psychological thresholds be passed?
Next, it is normal to perform poorly. Once the emperor and the courtiers, these are the replacement of two countries. So what if he leaves office safely?
But if someone is really rated as having excellent spring plowing work, what does that mean?
It can’t be said that I accepted Zhao Guan’s order to appease the people and supervise spring plowing, and did a particularly good job. Even the imperial envoys of the Song Dynasty agreed, but then they turned around and said I was a traitor to the enemy country and chopped them off with a knife, right?
Nine times out of ten, they will take advantage of the situation to stay in office or transfer to another position.
So, how about working hard... and giving it a try?
Of course, in fact, this is not over yet. The spring plowing is over, and the working group stays in one place. Can we take advantage of the situation to take over and clean up the property and land that the Jin Kingdom previously allocated to those Meng'an, Mouke, and Puliyan?
Will it be possible to further fulfill the pre-war promise of the Zhao Guan family after spring plowing?
People like Mao Shuo don't know about these later events for the time being, but just the previous considerations, just the political attitude contained in the three decrees, and just a little bit of power were enough to shake the hearts of many local officials of the Jin Kingdom.
.
You must know that everyone wants to make progress.
All in all, if the three wills are implemented, the spring plowing will be remedied to the greatest extent. Regardless of the spring plowing, even the descendants will have steps, thereby avoiding a large number of punishments, reducing the turmoil of social order, and also
It can be regarded as an orderly step in transforming military achievements into political achievements.
It can only be said that Hebei has indeed changed after the war, but it is not as crude and direct as imagined.
"So Mao Cai Shi was worried that if I left too late, the back-foot work team would come in and cause trouble?" The sixth prince was not stupid when it came to Lu Guan, but he didn't react as quickly as Hong Ya and was as thoughtful as he was.
"That's true." Mao Shuo responded with a slight embarrassment, but shook his head slightly. "In addition, I also want to persuade an old friend... Mr. Hong?"
Hong Ya sighed in the sudden realization of Lu Guan, and bowed his head in silence for a moment, as if he was feeling emotional that Mao Shuo had not forgotten his old love, which touched his heart.
But after a moment, he still shook his head slightly, causing Zhi Lu Guan to feel slightly relieved.
Of course, what Zhen Lu Guan didn't know was that Hong Ya's expression was just perfunctory, and there was no disturbance in his heart at the moment... This is not to say that Hong Ya only thought about glory and wealth, and did not think about staying in power.
When the Song Dynasty stabilized, he had thought so for a long time, otherwise it would not have led to Zhending's surrender... But didn't the Zhao Guan family not want him?
Especially when he returned to Zhending for the second time but was not summoned, this person who was almost perfect at guessing his thoughts became more certain about the official's thoughts... Whether he really wanted to promote that kind of thing
Negotiating the terms of peace was still a typical alienation strategy. Anyway, the official did not want to see Hong Ya reacting in front of his eyes.
When I returned to the north with Xulu Guan, I was certainly excited about the best possible outcome, but more importantly, I felt helpless.
Turning back to the present, Mao Shuo, the governor of Dingzhou, was moved by the vague and conditional pardon from the Zhao Song official family... This man was a recognized capable official and believed that he could manage Dingzhou properly, so he chose to stay in Dingzhou.
Dingzhou, returning to the Song Dynasty... At the same time, no matter how emotional Xun Luguan and Hong Ya were, they could only set off on the road in a hurry after breakfast with the attitude of being expelled.
This time, the two of them did not find themselves in trouble on the road. They took off lightly and galloped for a whole day. Along the way, they passed through Wangdu and Beiping counties, both of which passed through the city without entering, until they reached Baosai City, the capital of Baozhou.
The Jintaidun camp outside Dongguan (today's Baoding) had just reined in its horses and stopped.
Let us also say that Jintaidun is a famous permanent post and military station. It originated from the war when Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty tried to capture Yanyun during his Northern Expedition to the Liao Dynasty. Later, it became a famous standing army stronghold under the confrontation between Song and Liao Dynasties. Now it is of course also a place for the Jin Dynasty.
Going south from Yanjing to Hejian, it is an important transit station in Zhending.
And Nian Luguan and Hong Ya also rushed here from the beginning. According to their ideas, not only should there be a small-scale garrison here, but Nian Lubu and Jiagu Wulibu would also pass through here when they returned to the north.
, the defeated army that was separated before, and the local officials and generals who fled from the south like them should also have traces here.
Facts have proved that Xun Luguan and Hong Ya were right, even too much.
"The Sixth Prince...Shilang Hong...it's great that the two of you are fine."
The slaves of the Grand Master came out of the gate and saluted respectfully. "The King of Wei, General Yelu and General He Shilie are all in the stronghold. His Highness the King of Wei is waiting for you two."
Zhen Luguan and Hong Ya looked at each other, each looking a little pale.
This is not to say that there is anything wrong with Wu Shu and these two appearing here. Calculating the distance and location, Wu Shu should be here since he has a way out.
But having said that, isn't this the saying of the Zhao Guan family, "You must kill Wushu before peace can be achieved"? And there is also the nonsense of directly offering the city. All things, and those words, cannot be hidden at all, especially from the Grand Master.
The slaves are all here.
Therefore, there is no reason for the two of them to be afraid.
But since the Grand Master's slaves specially made a special trip to guard the Prime Minister here at the gate, they couldn't escape at all.
As a result, the two of them could only suppress their uneasiness and bite the bullet and follow the Grand Master's slaves to the Jintaidun Camp.
Sure enough, the camp was miserable, with broken soldiers and wounded everywhere in a mess. Fortunately, Yelu Mawu or He Shilietaiyu should have controlled the situation. Although the original garrison was in a hurry, it did not lose control.
Without further ado, the two of them came to a bright and spacious military building amidst the misery and misery, and then at a glance they saw Wanyan Wushu lying alone on a large couch. Although the ruling prince of the Jin Kingdom had an ugly face,
It was still clean, but his face was pale, and his body shape and posture were weird... The reason was obvious at a glance. The fourth prince's left leg and right arm were obviously injured.
It is obvious that although Wanyan Wushu escaped alive, he definitely went through hardships.
"Fourth brother!"
After all, they are blood brothers. When they first met, even though Zhen Luguan had been extremely uneasy before, seeing his brother in such a mess, he still couldn't help but feel a sore feeling in his nose. Then he stepped forward and grabbed the other person on the edge of the couch.
He moved his left hand and burst into tears for a while.
When Wu Shu saw Zhen Lu Guan entering, he should have cried with his brothers, but for some reason, he just allowed the other party to hold his hand and cry. After a while, he even held on to the beating strip.
His legs were broken by the wooden board and he laughed: "Why should the sixth brother be so miserable? The overall situation is now, the victory or defeat has been decided, and our brothers can meet again because of the protection of our father's spirit in heaven. If we just cry in mourning, we will only make the world laugh.
"
At this point, Wu Shu paused slightly and continued: "To borrow a sentence from Cao Mengde, if you cry day and night, can you still cry to death that Cangzhou Zhao Jiu?"
Hearing this, Lu Guan tried his best to suppress his voice, and then couldn't help but asked with tears in front of the bed: "Fourth brother, I heard that the Song Army sent tens of thousands of cavalry to pursue them, but they were unable to pursue them. Yue Fei and Zhang Rong seemed to have also arrived in the river.
How did you escape from the bread trap?"
"What's there to say about this?" Wu Shu shook his head, but in the end he couldn't help but feel a little sad and explained a little bit. "Escaped all the way, and was overtaken by the Song Army's Qingqi before sleeping in the water. Thirty percent of the troops and horses were lost first. Listen,
People say that Wu Lin Da Taiyu was also arrested by the river..."
"Then I struggled to cross the river and found that Liu Qi had taken control of the city first. I was caught off guard and lost many soldiers..."
"I had no choice but to go eastward. When I was crossing the river in Gucheng, I saw Zhang Rong's navy, and then I had to continue eastward..."
"When we arrived at Shulu, we met the defeated army fleeing from the east. Only then did we know that the governor of Tian Division had come from the east to kill... At that time, my leg happened to be trampled by a horse, so I started thinking wildly.
I felt that Huolu was defeated and Shulu was desperate. Could it be that God wanted me to be 'tied' there? But the more this happened, the less I could accept my fate, so I prepared to commit suicide, preferring to die rather than be 'tied'... but was beaten by Ma Wu again.
I would like to advise you to try again to the north by the river."
At this point, Wu Shufu smiled bitterly again: "It was then that I realized that the word "shuxu" for "shulu" should not be attributed to the people of the Song Dynasty, but to Ma Wu. When he reached the river, he did not dare to look for the shallows, and he could only find the shoal.
A horse, with no choice but to tie me to the horse's back, and then the two of them crossed the river together... After crossing the river, I met He Shilietaiyu who had escaped from the prisoners of the Song army.
The Song army suddenly received a decree the day before. It was said that Zhao Guan's family was angry and ordered the pursuing army not to pursue the general without permission, but to kill and injure the troops. Therefore, the patrol on the river was changed, and only interceptions were made in various shoals, and soldiers and horses were also on the road.
I only pursue the majority of my followers... In this way, for my mere life, 30% is God's will, 40% is Ma Wu, and the remaining 30% is given by the Zhao official family."
After hearing this narration, Zhen Lu watched and sighed.
It is conceivable that despite being as light-hearted as what his fourth brother said, in the past seven or eight days, he was probably struggling on the edge of life and death every day. In comparison, the most dangerous time for him was the day he encountered Hebule.
At night, the fourth brother may not be as serious as he is when he is most relaxed.
After all, the life of his sixth prince was worry-free throughout.
And just when Nulu Guan was sighing, Hong Ya, who was standing on the threshold with his hands crossed, also frowned slightly... I think that the Zhao Guan family kept saying that they wanted to 'kill Wu Shu', but in fact they were most likely to capture Wu Shu.
The Hutuo Henan Net is open to the public. Although the general principles are correct, it always seems that there is a bit of a joke in the terms of the peace negotiation.
Of course, now is not the time to think about this.
"The King of Wei is so lucky, but it shows that the subordinate officials are a little greedy and afraid of death." Seeing that the two brothers over there exchanged a few words and calmed down, Hong Ya hurriedly stepped forward and said nonsense. "
To be honest with the King of Wei, I was in Zhending that day to persuade the Sixth Prince to surrender, but I really failed to fulfill the entrustment of the King of Wei..."
"Of course I know." Wu Shu couldn't help but sigh. "The Grand Master's slaves have told me, but it's not Shilang Hong's fault... Zhao Song's official family carried tens of thousands of corpses and wounded people over, and I can also imagine what the scene was like.
, it is indeed impossible to abide by it... As for wanting to negotiate peace after surrender, it does not count as your own initiative. After all, we did mention this matter in the camp that day."
Hearing this, Zhen Luguan also turned pale, and quickly stood up and wiped away tears: "I wonder if Fourth Brother knows the specific terms of the peace negotiation? I said on the spot that the Zhao Song official family was too harsh."
"What do you think, Minister Hong?" Wu Shu ignored his sixth brother and looked at Hong Ya.
"I don't think this is harsh." Hong Ya took a step forward, his expression serious and unscrupulous. "It's just that the Zhao Song official family has malicious intentions..."
Zhen Luguan was stunned for a moment, while Wu Shu became solemn and asked seriously: "What's the evil intention?"
"The lower official thinks that the so-called harshness is nothing more than the strategy of destroying the Jin Dynasty and then encircling three missing ones." Hong Ya told the truth frankly and conclusively. "In the final analysis, the Song people did not want to negotiate peace at all, or did they
They are going to fight to the death. The terms of this negotiation are certainly harsh at the moment, but when they finish sorting out they will force us into a desperate situation. At that time, they can use this terms of negotiation to shake us into fighting to the death.
determination."
"That's right." Wu Shu thought for a moment and nodded heavily, but after a moment he smiled again. "Is that all?"
"There are still ways to alienate people, but this one is too obvious." Hong Ya spread his hands, but his words were still frank. "'The only way to make peace is to kill Wushu'... But in fact, how can we kill the fourth prince? Who will do it?
Killing the Fourth Prince? It’s just that after the Huolu War, the Fourth Prince’s prestige will be greatly reduced. If the Central Committee wants to make an effort, it can only rely on the Yanyun clan and the tribes outside the Great Wall to make us suspicious of each other."
"That's right!" Wu Shu lay down on his back and sighed. "That's right! Hit the nail on the head! Hit the nail on the head! But this is a conspiracy! It's a conspiracy!"
Xuan Luguan was still grumbling, but Hong Ya couldn't help but continue to ask: "King Wei, please tell me how many people have escaped along the Hutuo River!"
Wu Shu remained silent.
Hong Ya frowned slightly, and was about to speak again, but unexpectedly, a sour smell suddenly rolled up behind him. When he looked back, he realized that someone was breaking in from outside, but the Grand Master's slave didn't stop him at all. After another closer look, he realized that
The person who came turned out to be Wanhu Pucha Hu Zhan... I saw that he was in a miserable state, wearing short clothes, his legs and arms were covered in reddish-brown mud, his beard and hair were also full of dirt, but he was holding two white
The paper notice is really embarrassing and ridiculous.
But no matter what, it is always good to see another member of Wanhu survive... Because as Hong Ya and Wu Shu said, the Zhao Guan family's plan to alienate is clearly a conspiracy. At this time, as long as there is a Huolu who survives
Senior generals can strengthen the unity between the center and the tribes outside the Great Wall, strengthen the center's power, and then intimidate other small tribes and the Yanyun clan.
However, before he could say anything more, Pucha Hu Zhan collapsed on the ground, and then told Wu Shu on the couch, panting heavily: "King Wei... Wu Lin Da Tai Yu's fellow is dead."
Wu Shu glanced at the person who came and felt a little relieved and then said in no hurry: "Hu Zhan, isn't it unusual for someone to die in this situation?"
"But too many people have died." Pucha Huzhan raised the two notices in his hand high, and his words were so excited that he actually choked with sobs.
Hong Ya originally thought that the other party was holding the decrees he had seen in Dingzhou, but he heard something wrong at this time, so he stepped forward to snatch it away. He just glanced at it, shook his head, and then handed the notice to the bedside.
The sixth prince.
But Pucha Hu Zhan was already chattering on the ground: "I escaped from Raoyang. I didn't dare to go to Hejian Mansion. I just detoured to Suning Village to cross the river day and night, and then went to Gaoyang... I know the Gaoyang guard general.
Yes, it was the background of the general I recruited during the Hedong campaign... But when I walked to the bottom of the city, the guy not only refused to accept it, but threw down two notices and told me to go on my own... I didn't know the words, so I didn't come all the way here.
We had people read it in front of the door, and then they realized that twelve thousand households had died?!"
Wu Shu was stunned for a moment, then he stiffened his neck and looked at his sixth brother who was holding the notice.
Zhen Luguan instinctively wanted to hand it over, but after stretching out his hand, he realized that his brother was in such a state that he could not read at all. He was helpless for a moment, so he took the initiative to speak: "Brother... it was the order of the Song Dynasty to establish power, and he passed on the captured message.
, I want to spread the news to all four sides, and I want to use this to win over the prefectures and counties without losing any blood."
"Read the list and numbers." Wu Shu lay down again. "Don't be taboo, just read them!"
Zhen Luguan had no choice but to spread out the proclamation and face it seriously: "The proclamation was sent out on the ninth day of February, which was yesterday. It was signed by Zhao Jiu of Cangzhou, and it was regarded as an imperial edict... It said... it said... Marshal of the Kingdom of Jin led the army
Taiyuan's marching division commander commanded Wanyan Wanyan of all households to pull away from the speed below. Wanyan Wanyan's commanding officer of Longde Mansion rushed to see Wanyan.
The servants of every household scattered and carried Lu, the Wulin of ten thousand households responded to the Thai desire, the good looks of ten thousand households were separated and drunk, the servants of ten thousand households were gentle and loyal, the benevolent and good people of ten thousand households joined together, the big Pus of ten thousand households crossed over quickly, and the Yanjing teamed up to fight fiercely and unified the capital.
Uncle Yan Kai, there were twelve people...and...he won a silver medal in the deer formation and marched to capture 48 people, and captured 32 people; he defeated 537 people in the formation and captured a bronze medal in the march, and captured 323 people.
; The formation killed 429 Tiepai Puliyan people and captured 221 people... a total of 1,702 people... Among them, there were heads, and they were paraded with marching signs to show their heads to the public, but there were no heads.
Those who rank higher and those who are captured will be given their marching badges."
Wu Shu was not angry, and even sneered in response: "It's not as much as I thought! And the Song people didn't kill any prisoners?"
"Probably not killed." Zhen Luguan explained helplessly. "The captives may have to be sold to the Khitan people. Before they are sold, they will have to do hard labor farming, building roads, etc... The second decree below also said that the imperial
Li Qiong, the deputy commander of the army in the camp, was appointed as the commander, and he took custody of more than 60,000 prisoners. They followed our army's route from Damingfu to Zhendingfu and went south, cooperating with spring plowing and replanting along the way to make up for the emptiness in the place after the troops were transferred."
Wushu is completely silent.
And Lu Guan was also a little embarrassed. He had realized that the so-called 60,000 prisoners in this announcement issued yesterday were probably just the soldiers and horses captured by the Song army in Huolu and Zhending, of which more than 50,000 were captured.
, the additional seven or eight thousand are exactly the ten thousand households that he surrendered after he chose to surrender.
But even so, I'm afraid it's enough, because the Jin Kingdom has several marching divisions south of Yanshan, a total of tens of thousands of households, and approximately how many people. This is something everyone knows. Now these two decrees cooperate
The previous decrees related to spring plowing matters were also released, but the results of the deer harvesting battle were completely revealed.
And with the overwhelming force of that battle, once it was revealed, it would naturally be determined by a decree, and it would sweep across the two rivers in an instant.
No wonder Pucha Huzhan was also driven here by the old people.
All I can say is that things are really going to change in Hebei.
In addition, what this announcement did not say for the time being is that the 40,000 to 560,000 Jin troops who escaped from that battle were routed and were vigorously pursued by the Song army in Hutuo Henan. Just looking at the miserable images of Wu Shu and others,
It can also be guessed that even if there is no horse and no way to return north, I am afraid that there will be seven or eight deaths.
So after this battle, how many of the 200,000 households in the Jin Army's old base are still viable? How many elite warriors are there who dare to fight?
Back in Yanjing, what kind of trouble will those tribesmen outside the Great Wall control the remaining new army, the old generals who have been abandoned as the center, and the Yanyun clan make trouble?
No wonder the official wanted to implement such a superficial alienation strategy. It can only be said that the heaven and earth are all working together to bring good luck, but the heroes who are good luck will not be free... This is really a powerless conspiracy.
At this thought, Zulu Guan, who had settled his accounts, was almost depressed to the extreme.
Hong Ya, on the other hand, was still thinking about everything, as if this smart man hadn't figured out this simple account yet.
Turning back to the present, when at least 1,700 Jin Kingdom officers were killed and the news of their capture was confirmed through the notice, the whole room became silent, and almost everyone, including Wu Shu who had shouted before, fell into silence.
middle.
This blow was too big. The Battle of Huolu basically broke the backbone of the entire Jin Kingdom, and then ripped out the bones and cut the flesh. No one can think about the future of the Jin Kingdom. No one wants to think about it.
The air of decadence, accompanied by the fishy smell of Pucha Huzhan's body, spread all over the place for a while.
The one who broke the silence was still the new arrival, Yelu Mawu hurriedly arrived, and when everyone in the room saw the whole pile of new proclamations in the hands of the Khitan general, almost everyone trembled in their hearts.
"General Yelu, what is this?" Even Hong Ya needed to take a deep breath before asking carefully.
"Zhending's salary is not high...it's all a reward decree." Yelu Mawu kept calm. "Emperor Zhao and Song were awarding meritorious officials, and they were all incomprehensible text on the book bag... King Guangfeng was just one
heap."
"It doesn't matter." Hong Ya was relieved for a moment and waved his hand immediately. "It's just a means of showing power. There is no need to read it to King Wei."
"How not to read?"
Wu Shu, who was lying there, suddenly shouted with all his strength, like a roar. "Heroes of the enemy and thieves of ours! Their achievements are all made with the blood of our army! If you don't read it, how can you mourn this battle with the blood of hundreds of thousands of our army?"
?!Read! Read it out! Don’t miss a single word!”
Everyone was shocked and silent, and Yelu Mawu had no choice but to hand the large pile of imperial edicts and notices to Hong Ya.
He really didn't recognize some words.
Hong Ya had no choice but to pick up these notices, took a few deep breaths, and began to read slowly:
"One said:
Fang Jingkang, at the time of Jian Yan, there was an opportunity for the world to be in danger. He was brave and loyal like Han Shizhong and became a general. This was God's gift for my revival. Fang Jin's army marched south to the Huaihe River, but Shizhong dared to speak out and fight. Later he drove out the Wu.
Skilled at Xia Cai, demolishing laziness at Changshe, beheading Lou's family at Yao Mountain, destroying mountains and rivers at harvesting deer, every battle is my forward strategy, and I work hard without caring about my own life. I am called unparalleled in the world, but in fact I am the humerus of the country and my waist and guts.
Te was promoted to the title of King of Qin, granted the rank of Marshal, and still led as Grand Master."
After reading it in one go, it is nothing more than that Han Shizhong was promoted to the title of King of Qin, appointed as marshal, and led as grand master. He was the third prince and had the honor of being a military minister.
In the house where Wushu lived, whether lying, sitting, standing or leaning, no one spoke a word.
What's so strange about this?
After a short pause, Hong Ya opened one and came up with another:
"Two said:
Since ancient times, there have been Han, Bai, Wei, and Huo in the Han Dynasty, and Li, Xu, Su, and Xue in the Tang Dynasty. There is no shortage of people in each generation. However, those who want to have both civil and military skills, as well as benevolence and wisdom like Yue Fei, are rare in a generation. Yue Fei is the commander-in-chief.
It is not limited to military strategy, but also a benevolent style. Strict military orders are used to prohibit plunder, soft words are used to comfort the mob, modesty is used to communicate with people cautiously, poetry is practiced to make peace with each other, deliberation with the court is fair, and treachery is suppressed to make friends with gentlemen.
Therefore, when a prime minister performs martial arts, after the Duke of Zhou, Zhuge Wuhou is the only one. When a minister is in charge and seeks a reputation as a commander, Jifu (a famous general in the Zhou Dynasty) may not be able to praise him, but Yue Fei serves the country loyally and deserves this reputation.
As a reward for Jingxiang, Puppet Qi, Xixia, great name, and outstanding honors in Hejian, he was specially promoted to the title of King of Wei, awarded the title of Marshal, and became the Tutor."
There was still silence in the hall, but Wu Shu finally had a reaction. He turned his head slightly, looked at a sword leaning against his bed, and then closed his eyes again.
"Three words: Whenever a building is about to collapse, there must be pillars. If the mud and sand fall, there must be obstacles."
Hong Ya opened the third notice, and then he only read the first two sentences to know who he was talking about. "The whole country will fall, and the Han Dynasty will no longer be north of the Huai River. Li Yanxian will rise in Shaanxi and Luo, standing like a pillar in the middle stream.
With his own efforts, he divided the Jin army into two forces, leaving the imperial court with a large river connected to the Central Plains and Guanxi.
For ten years, the greatness of his achievements is immeasurable, and the depth of his loyalty is immeasurable.
He will be given the title of King of the Jin Dynasty, awarded the title of Marshal, and will be given the title of Taibao."
The atmosphere in the house had changed subtly, but Hong Ya didn't bother to pay attention. He just opened another piece of paper and continued to read. This time, he knew who it was before he opened his mouth:
"Fourth:
Since ancient times, famous generals are easy to come by, but handsome ministers are hard to find. Wu Jie is unique in talent, loyal, courageous and self-motivated. He has achieved fame and fame, and is famous in Guanlong.
He promoted the general to Jingyuan, Guanxi Province, and protected all the generals. The battle of Yaoshan was especially successful. In the battle of Wulu, the command was determined, and the chieftains were restrained, and the ugly ones were wiped out.
To strengthen the power of my revival, I don’t have to seek help from the brave, how can I do that?
Te Jin was promoted to the title of King of Han, awarded the title of Marshal, and led the young division."
After reading it again, no one said anything. Hong Ya paused for a moment, and finally could only continue reading by himself:
"Five said:
Since the founding of Yan, my confidant Zhang Jun was the first to hold the army, and he has repeatedly made military exploits.
When he was in Xia Cai, his army was alone in the north, unable to waver, and he went out to fight, which can be said to be loyal and brave. Later, as he grew older, he could advance and retreat freely, and promoted Yang Yizhong, Tian Shizhong, and Zhang Zigai to continue to perform meritorious deeds, which can be said to be virtuous.
He also said, I dare not forget the promise made on Huaishang, so I will be promoted to the title of King of Qi and receive the title of Shaobao."
"Sixth:
In the past, the country was in chaos and disorder. Officials abandoned their territory and fled. Soldiers were frightened by the news. Zhang Rong rose up recklessly. He gathered bandits to protect the peace of one place. He joined the common people and became heroes who fought hundreds of battles. A victory on the beach was the first to stabilize the morale of the army and sail across Bian.
, begin to consolidate the foundation of the country.
This is what those who do justice for heaven should do.
I am specially appointed to be the Duke of Lu and lead the young master."
"Seventh:
A single spark can start a prairie fire. In the past, when the world was in ruins, Ma Kuo was favored by the Jin people because of his old age, but he still abandoned his family and his body and raised an army to fight against the Jin. For ten years, he traveled in and out of Taihang, reined in his horse and Hebei, worked hard day and night, and never rested. In the past, the country of Jin was far away
When it is prosperous, it is the power of Taihang that makes the bandits gather in large numbers and cannot go south to swallow them up. When the king's army marches north, it is also the power of Hebei that makes the whole world join forces and form a force that cannot move closer.
Specially promoted to King Xing.
There is also someone who believes in King Zhao Zhen, who has done great service in assisting him, and changed his title to the king to show his honor and favor."
"Eight:
Wang De comes from a family that is loyal and brave, and is known for his divine power. He has been fighting for the emperor since Huaishang, and has never fallen. For ten years, he has made outstanding achievements. When he captured a deer, he was the first to fight, charging into the formation, and his courage was unmatched. He beheaded Ali in the formation, and the first was destroyed.
Great formation, great success.
Te was promoted to the Longxi County Prince, and Te Yin passed down the title from generation to generation without any loss."
Not sure if it was an illusion, Hong Ya, who felt a little thirsty, turned the page and was about to see Qu Duan's commendation next, but he didn't know if it was an illusion. Someone seemed to be sobbing secretly.
However, Wu Shu had had an attack before, so although there was something strange, Hong Ya just paused and continued reading:
"Nine days:
When Jianyan was just starting, the Lou family raided Guanxi twice. In this crisis, Li Yanxian rose up in Shaanluo, and he did a great job. He made some achievements in protecting the people in Guanlong, but he was domineering and violated the rules, and had many flaws and should not be used.
Needless to say, Zhou Chu got rid of the three evils and made a new start. Qu Duan also learned about the shame and became brave. He shot Lou Shi in front of the driver, Ning Xixia in Helan, sent the whole army to Zhiguan, and fought loyally to capture the deer.
It can be called courageous.
Therefore, I am the king of Rong County in Jinjue Town."
"Tenth:
In the past, Li Yongqi and Li Shifu returned to the court with loyalty and righteousness. Just before Yaoshan Mountain, when the country was poor and they were about to become a beggar, their father and son broke up the family and died for the country. Their loyalty and righteousness were unparalleled, and they were praised for their extraordinary achievements, which are difficult to find in ancient and modern times. They restored Xixia and won special honors.
To win the decisive battle and win the deer, always come first.
Special pursuit..."
"enough!"
At this moment, the sobbing suddenly stopped and was replaced by another loud shout from Wu Shu.
The sound was so fierce that Hong Ya was so startled that he shuddered and threw all the documents in his hand to the ground.
However, after a sharp shout, Wu Shu became depressed and just lay there, covering his face with his left hand that could still move and sobbing again.
After a long time, he lamented in the house, crying and complaining: "I don't understand! Why did the world turn upside down in just ten years? In ten years of prosperity and ten years of decline, the founding heroes of the Jin Dynasty,
Withered one after another, the heroes of the Song Dynasty fell one after another... Is this really God's will to protect the Song Dynasty?!"
As soon as these words came out, Pucha, Hu Zhan and Zhen Luguan, who were in front of the bed, couldn't bear it and each shed tears.
But the three people in front of the door, from Yelu Mawu to Taishi Nu to Hong Ya, just looked at each other.
And a moment later, Yelu Mawu was still upset and refuted: "King Wei... you have to be reasonable. According to reason, the most confusing thing is that Taizu was so brave that he destroyed Liao in ten years and then joined forces.
Han went south again in a big way, and actually succeeded in attacking Bianliang? You Jurchens did such a heroic thing, is it a hero rising up? Now that the Song people are fighting back, why don't you understand?"
As soon as he said this, Wu Shu still covered his face with his hands, but the house gradually became quiet again.
In mid-February of the 10th year of Jianyan, as countless decrees were sent out from Zhending, the influence of the Huolu War finally spread. The so-called spring plowing and reward decrees came, and the counties of Hebei were repeated one after another, and the colors of heaven and earth changed.
As for Wanyan Wushu and a group of high-ranking officials who fled, they only stayed in Baosai for three to five days and collected seven or eight thousand defeated troops. Wanyan Wushu couldn't even wait for Wanyan's consultation, so they followed the troops of Yue Fei, King of Wei of Song Dynasty.
Appearing in the field of vision, he turned around and ran away, heading towards Fan Yang behind him.
