Song Xiao

Chapter 234 Not matched

Zhang Xian led Chu Tianya and others to a pass and stopped. At this time, it was dawn and the visibility was very low. Zhang Xian asked the accompanying knight to "accompany" Chu Tianya and others to wait here. With Chu Tianya's famous post and Yao Gu's handwritten letter, he turned into a mountain road to ask for instructions.

Chu Tianya and Yao Gu are both leading troops. Looking around this terrain, they come to the conclusion that this col is indeed suitable for hidden troops!

It seems that the matter of Kang Wang Zhao Gu's troops in Hebei is indeed carried out very cautiously. Their soldiers and horses were not stationed in the state city of Xiangzhou, but chose an inconspicuous wilderness. This makes them add a hint of mystery again.

While waiting for the news, Yao Gu said to Chu Tianya that Xiangzhou's geographical location is very special, just between Zhending, Hejian and Zhongshan.

These three military towns have been the "Hebei Iron Triangle" since the founding of the Song Dynasty. They are the most important military defense line of the Song Dynasty against the north and are known as the "Great Wall of the country". The Song Dynasty has always believed that "no three towns can establish a country".

The three military towns are called the "Great Wall", which is actually very ironic, because the real Great Wall, which has been held in the hands of the Central Plains for a hundred years and has been used to resist the Northern Huqi, has not belonged to the Central Plains since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Without the Great Wall, Hebei Youyan and Yanyun, which have complex landforms and many mountainous areas as military defense lines and buffer zones, the Song Dynasty has felt very insecure since the founding of the country. Therefore, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, after more than 100 years of operation, it has built cities, dug trenches, built military castles, and built a trench with many rivers more than 900 miles long as a natural screen to resist the northern cavalry. This makes the three military fortress cities of Zhending, Hejian and Zhongshan firmly nailed to the central part of Hebei like three nails. The imperial court has been sending heavy soldiers of the forbidden army to guard it, and the military expenditure is countless every year.

The military expenditure of the Song Dynasty has always been the highest among all expenditures, almost crushing the economy of the rich dynasty of the Song Dynasty.

However, the most characteristic of the Song Dynasty is that input is not equal to output.

Last year, Wanyan Zongwang set out from Youzhou. With only tens of thousands of thousands of soldiers and horses, he attacked Yanshan Mansion, which was bought by Tong Guanhua with a lot of money, like an angry arrow through Lu, and then pierced the Hebei Iron Triangle, and passed the Yellow River dangerously. Finally, the soldiers went straight to Tokyo. Under the city. Zhao Huan, the newly appointed official, was also forced to identify the traitorous treaty. Since then, the Hebei Iron Triangle, which has been operated by the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, is all owned by the State of Jin.

The iron triangle nailed to Hebei for more than a hundred years instantly became a ridiculous joke. From a military point of view alone, Yan Zongwang really played a very beautiful battle. His style of play is strikingly similar to the "blitzkrieg" adopted by Hitler on the European battlefield a few years later - to avoid the enemy's edge and fight back and attack Huanglong. Thousands of miles from Youzhou to Tokyo, Wanyan Zongwang gave full play to the advantages of cavalry in the era of cold weapons. For the main force of the three towns in Hebei, he adopted the tactics of small troops to contain and partially annihilate, but his main force passed through the three towns and went straight to Tokyo, thus winning the final victory of the battle.

How brilliant the protagonist is, what a brilliant supporting role is.

Wanyan Zongwang achieved this miracle of war on the cold weapon battlefield. The weakness of the Song Dynasty and the corruption of the army helped a lot. Among other things, more than 100,000 troops stationed on the Yellow River at that time fled without hearing the wind. Wanyan Zongwang wanted to cross the Yellow River with several temporary fishing boats, which was simply a fantasy. Even when he finally came to the city, all kinds of Qinwang's divisions had been killed in Tokyo one after another. At that time, the Song Dynasty was fully capable of annihilating Wanyan Zongwang under the city. However, Zhao Huan, the new official, was scared out of his courage, and the surrenderists were determined to surrender and make peace. In addition to massive compensation, he also sent out the two gates of the three towns of Hebei and the throat of Taiyuan, which his ancestors had operated for a hundred years, just to get a moment of peace... This is no longer a possible summary of "shame" and "incompetence".

The small bullet Xiangzhou is sandwiched between the three major military towns in Hebei, ** naked and directly facing the threat of Jin Bing.

Chu Tianya felt that this group of people led by King and Zhao Gou of Kang was like a "special force" in modern war, directly going deep into the enemy's rear to do a life-long job. Although Zhao Gu's behavior in history is enough to make people resentful, now he still has a little admirable courage.

Speaking of the three towns, Yao Gu also sighed, "Without the important barrier of the three towns in Hebei, Jin Guo can beat us at any time. Their cavalry can fly to the Yellow River in the morning and evening, which is simply unpreventable. Three towns in Hebei, how much grain has been spent in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and it was sent out in vain... It's really a pity!"

"The masters and factions in the court know that they are greedy and afraid of death. I am not surprised at all that they have done such a subjugation. What's the difference between the ceding of the three towns in Hebei and the 16 states of Yanyun, which Shi Jingtang gave to the Khitan people? - Bah, traitor!" Chu Tianya sneered and said bluntly that he was not afraid of offending the senior officials in the court and could say anything.

Yao Gu sighed. He didn't dare to say these words, but in fact he agreed in his heart.

"I heard that the situation of Zhending and Zhongshan is similar to that of Taiyuan. At that time, they also resisted the decree and kept it for a long time." Chu Tianya said, "But they are not as lucky as Taiyuan, and they have fallen one after another this year. After the fall of the two cities, Zhongshan was not washed by blood because he surrendered, but he must have been washed by the blood of the State of Jin. Shou Zhending's Shou will be a father and son, as if their surname is Liu.

"Is the general's news so well-in-apsed?" Yao Gu nodded in a little surprise, "Yes, Yao has also heard about this. The father and son, surnamed Liu, and their father's name is Liu Wei. He died on the day of the fall of Zhending. His son Liu Ziyu joined the army with his father at the age of ten. Now he is about thirty years old. He is really a loyal and brave descendant, and he has a genius in the military. Last year, when Jin Bing went south to attack, the general was Liu Ziyu. Jin Bing did not fight for several months, and then he went away annoy. Because of Liu Ziyu's meritorious service in the battle, the official family promoted him to Jiajue and then transferred to the Bian River to guard the throat of the Jinbing to the south. It was taking advantage of Liu Ziyu's defense that Jin Bing once again launched a surprise attack on Zhending to seize the city. Liu Ziyu's father Liu Wei died in the battlefield.

"This Liu Ziyu, it's not bad..." Chu Tianya said thoughtfully, "I don't know where he is now?"

Obedient to the voice, Yao Gu knew that Chu Tianya had the idea of loving talent again, so he smiled and said, "Everywhere the general goes, he doesn't forget to recruit talents - Yao heard that he was really behind, and Liu Ziyu still led the old guerrilla resistance. Then after the court made peace with the State of Jin, the Jin people sent back Liu Wei's coffin. The court allowed Liu Ziyu to send his dead father's coffin back to his hometown.

"Hey, the father's hatred is not commen, and the thief is provocation to the country. What's the worry about!" Chu Tianya was so annoyed when he heard this. "Is it more meaningful to watch an empty grave at home and cry than to kill the enemy for revenge?"

Yao Gu was stunned and said to himself: Ding You is a major event of human family. What's wrong?

Mainstream and non-mainstream ideas are seriously colliding again.

Chu Tianya thought about how to find this Liu Ziyu and give him a force to kill the enemy happily. Yao Gu was very suspicious of Chu Tianya in his heart, saying that if he didn't even do filial piety, it would be too rebellious and unfilial!

But neither of them said these ideas, otherwise they would not be able to hang up on the other side.

At this moment, there was a shock from the pass, and a group of cavalry in the Song Dynasty rushed out.

At first, Chu Tianya and others thought that the cavalry were coming out to meet each other, but they rushed by and didn't stay for a moment. Chu Tianya watched a young and handsome cavalry leader gallop in front of him and looked back at him.

The vision is cold, like electricity.

Chu Tianya's heart moved inexplicably and shouted loudly, "Your surname is Yue?"

Without finishing the words, the cavalry rushed by, and the cavalry leader did not reply.

Chu Tianya hurriedly asked the sergeant Song Bing, who was waiting with them. As a result, the sergeant told him that it was Yue Fei, the cavalry army, who just led this cavalry to run out!

Chu Tianya is full of regret - just pass by like this?!

"Do they have any urgent task when they run out in such a hurry?" Chu Tianya asked.

The sergeant shook his head and refused to say anything more. He was quite alert to see that expression.

Chu Tianya knew that he would not say anything, so he stopped asking. He only regretted in his heart and recalled the moment when Baiju passed the gap just now. In fact, he also saw a side face of Yue Fei, which could only roughly judge that he was not ugly and very young.

After a while, Zhang Xian went and returned. The message brought back was - General, please come back. King Kang is not convenient to meet guests now. He ordered me to escort the general back the same way!

Chu Tianya knew that once King Kang saw his name posts and letters, it would probably be such an answer, so he was not in a hurry. He said, "Since King Kang doesn't want to see me, I won't force it. But this is an old friend of King Kang, who came to talk about the past with King Kang. I'll go by myself. Take him in to meet King Kang!"

After saying that, Chu Tianya pulled Yao Gu out.

Zhang Xian's face was straight and he looked completely businesslike. "King Kang said that no one was seen. General, don't put the end in a dilemma - please!"

Such an attitude of Kang Wang Zhao Gu disappointed Chu Tianya and Yao Gu. Chu Tianya pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay, let's go."

Yao Gu didn't give up and said, "I'm not the same as the general. I came to King Kang for a private matter.

"Please--" Zhang Xian ironed his face and raised his voice.

"How can that be!" Yao Gu was angry, "I have a strategy and a thousand troops. How dare you scold me! - Go and tell King Kang that Yao Gu, the former Western Army under the command of Hedong Xuanfu Division, has a military opportunity to ask for a look!"

Song Xian couldn't help but be stunned.

Maybe he doesn't know Yao Gu, but he should always understand words such as Dutong, Western Army and Jinglue.

Seeing that Zhang Xian was still hesitating, Yao Gu was even more angry, "If you delay the big thing, you can't afford to be guilty - why don't get out!!"

When Zhang Xian heard his words, although he was not angry, anger also appeared on his face.

"Forget it, don't embarrass him." Chu Tianya came forward to stop him, "I have already sent Yao Dutong's recommendation letter to King Kang. Since he has such an attitude, Yao Dutong went to see him in person and believed that there would be no change, and he still couldn't lose face. Why? - Let's go!"

Yao Gu hated it so much, "Just give up like this?"

"It doesn't matter." Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "It's better to have the help of King Kang. Even if not, I, Chu Tianya and the Hedong Rebel Army, are actually not so rare!"

As soon as he said this, Yao Gu and Zhang Xian's faces changed.

Yao Gu was amazed at the pride of Chu Tianya, and Zhang Xian was surprised by the name "Chu Tianya"!

"So, you are the general of Hedong who fought against Jin in Taiyuan?" Zhang Xian's expression suddenly became awe-inspiring, "No wonder! I've been wondering when I had such a young general?"

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "It's a general, but it's actually a mountain thief. Therefore, King Kang disdains to see me reasonable - Yao Dutong, let's go! Stay here for nothing, and you can't even have a breakfast. What a shame!"

"King Kang has gone too much! ...It's really cold in the world!!" Yao Gu was so angry that he threw down this sentence with hatred.

Yao Gu can't be angry. At the beginning, King Kang was just a penniless ninth prince. Yao Gu was a general from a military martial arts family. King Kang secretly won over the Yao family more than once, so as to expand his poor strength. Now, the Yao family is a little in decline because of Yao Pingzhong's robbery of the camp, but King Kang became a foreign marshal with military power because of fate. Yao Gu came to see him with the risk of his life, but King Kang closed the door to thank him!

"Forget it. The private meeting of foreign ministers is a taboo, and King Kang is just afraid of getting into trouble." Chu Tianya smiled sarcastically and said, "Such a timid person, we are still looking forward to life and death with him to achieve great things. It's really a secret trust of the pearl!"

"Swish--" Yao Gu was angry and didn't care whether he offended King Kang. In front of Zhang Xian and a group of sergeants, he spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

Zhang Xian's expression was indeed a little ugly, and his attitude also changed. He whispered, "Why don't we ask for instructions at the end?"

"Good! - Please wait a moment!" Yao Gu gritted his teeth and burst into blue veins on his forehead, and suddenly pulled out the dagger and cut the palm of his hand.

Chu Tianya and others were shocked, "What are you doing?"

Without saying anything, Yao Gu cut a piece of his robe and wrote a few words on it with his own blood, "Yao Gu wants to see King Kang!"

"Take it! Yao Gu took his life as a guarantee and asked to see King Kang once!"

Zhang Xian took the robe with a solemn expression and nodded, "Shang Shangguan, please wait a moment. Go down and come back at the end!"

Soon, Zhang Xian got on the horse and left.

Chu Tianya and Yao Gu sighed together.

"We risked our lives to discuss with King Kang with national affairs, but he was afraid of getting into trouble and avoided it. It's really... Hey!" Yao Gu bandaged the wound and sighed.

Chu Tianya laughed and said, "Yao Dutong, your knife may still be cut in vain. King Kang still won't see us.

Yao Gu couldn't help but be stunned, "No way?"

"It's very likely." Chu Tianya curled his lips and sneered, "If it's just an ordinary friend, King Kang may be reluctant to see him. But seeing that Yao Dutong has been on the blood book, it must be a big deal. King Kang is even more afraid that he will not see us if he gets into trouble.

Yao Gu was stunned, "...what should I do?"

"Some people just take themselves too seriously. If you give him three points of color, he will dare to open a dyeing room. Chu Tianya looked at the Song cavalry around him and sneered and said.

Those sergeants showed resentment in their eyes, but they didn't dare to attack.

"What are you staring at?" Chu Tianya said rudely, "Is the cavalry amazing? There are few cavalry in the Song Dynasty, but there is no shortage of cavalry in Hedong! - With cavalry like you, Yao and I can pull out ten thousand at will. The horse you rode was bought by the court from a foreign country with a lot of money. The horse our cavalry rode was a substitute horse robbed from the Jurchens - have you ever ridden it? You haven't seen it before!"

Yao Gu was a little confused. He didn't know why Chu Tianya said this nonsense to this group of big soldiers.

The cavalry on the scene were so angry that they blushed and couldn't speak. Several fists were clenched to the bone. Looking at the situation, they wanted to come up and fight.

Chu Tianya walked directly to them, looked at them with an arrogant and contemptuous look, and said with a sneer, "The bear nest, the coward will lead the coward, it's true! - You, a group of coward soldiers!"

The cavalry blushed and thickened their necks, and their eyes were about to breathe fire, but they remained motionless.

Yao Gu saw that the situation was wrong. The mouse was in a hurry and wanted to bite people, so he wanted to come forward to persuade Chu Tianya and stop provoking this group of soldiers.

"I said, are you a little bloody and temperamental?" Chu Tianya said angrily, "I scolded you so much. Why don't you get angry and beat me?"

"Report to the general--" A pawn roared hysterically.

Chu Tianya looked at him with a sneer, "Say, if you have something to say, don't hold it back."

"Brother Yue said that we are soldiers in the army, and we are used to protect our country! We are only allowed to attack the enemy, and we are not allowed to hurt our own people at any time!" The pawn roared in a hoarse voice, "The general is a hero who fights against gold and protects the people. We can't do anything against you!"

"Oh, it's not bad! Brother Yue closed his mouth and Brother Yue, how dare you only listen to Yue Fei's, not others'? Chu Tianya laughed.

A group of pawns didn't say anything, but many of them were so angry that their eyes turned red.

Chu Tianya sneered on his face, but he was very relieved: Very good, this is a disciplined and tense disciplined force! You need to understand a man's taste and look at the women around him; you need to know the true nature of a general and the soldiers he brings! - It's a pity for Yue Fei and these people under him to follow King Kang Zhao Gou!

"Forget it, General, what's wrong with a group of pawns? Forget it, forget it!" Yao Gu came out to persuade him at the right time. He didn't want to see the people of Chu Tianya and the people of King Kang.

Chu Tianya also gave up the donkey down the slope. He turned around and smiled at Yao Gu and said, "Have you seen Yao Dutong? These sergeants under Yue Fei are actually very good, including Zhang Xian, who went back to ask for instructions. They are very warm-blooded, have a sense of justice, and are valuable to know self-discipline and know their responsibilities. In. But it's a pity that they all voted wrongly! King Zhao Gu of Kang didn't even dare to see us. He is a soft egg and doesn't deserve these excellent sergeants to work for it!"

Yao Gu blinked puzzledly, "General has been mentioning that name - who is Yue Fei?"
