The carp in the pond swims over the quiet rocks, and the silent atmosphere lasts for a period of time in the courtyard where the garden scenery is full of details.
Looking into the room from the open window, the two big men with uneven white hair were silent for a long time after receiving the message.
The world has been in a fierce melee for a long time. Even in the vicinity of Xicheng County, a battle against the black flag is still being fought. The battle in Hanzhong is fierce, but it will end sooner or later. There is no doubt about it. With Dai Mengwei's words, in his lectures in the past few days, when talking about the general trend of the world, he also said something like "even if the black flag wins..." to show his foresight and avoid his words after the curtain of war fell. A bug occurs.
But having such an outcome in mind is one thing, and how and when it occurs is another. At present, everyone has regarded the Huaxia Seventh Army as a fierce beast full of hatred and fearless to death. Although it is difficult to imagine, the Huaxia Seventh Army can not fall behind even when faced with a face-to-face rebellion. Many people have it in their hearts.
But even so, in the face of Nianhan's 100,000 people and Wanyan Xiyin's reinforcements, he defeated the entire Jurchen West Route Army in one day. It's hard to accept.
Nianhan is not a mediocre player on the battlefield. He is the best military general in the world. Although Xiyin has been in the position of deputy for a long time, the name of the god of grain is in front of more scholars of the Wu Dynasty who advocate strange strategies and admire military masters such as Zhuge Liang. I am afraid it is a more difficult existence than Nianhan. He sat in the rear and made several plans. Although he had never faced the demon in the southwest, he made a few shots from the air and showed a convincing spirit. He rushed to the battlefield full of energy. , but still unable to turn the tide? Can't overwhelm the exhausted black flag soldiers who have persisted in the war for four or five days? And let Qin Shaoqian defeat Nianhan's main force head-on
The reality that is too heavy can bring an unimaginable impact to people, and even at that moment, I am afraid that Liu Guangshi and Dai Mengwei flashed the thought of simply kneeling. But after all, both of them are characters who have experienced countless major events. Dai Mengwei even bet the life of his close relatives in this game. After pondering for a long time, as the expressions on their faces changed, they first chose to suppress the incomprehensible. reality, and instead consider ways to face it.
"Dai Gong..."
Liu Guangshi, who was the first to speak, was a little hoarse. He paused for a while before saying, "Dai Gong... As soon as this news arrives, the world will change."
Dai Mengwei nodded: "Yes..."
"... The battle of Hanzhong was chaotic and unspeakable. My little nephew had already speculated about the outcome of the Black Flag victory, but at this moment, I have to be frank. The winner was decided yesterday. As far as the Hanzhong battlefield, the war started yesterday morning. If you want to come to Nianhan, the party must think that they have the upper hand, so they put on a dignified situation to face it head-on, but this also shows that the Black Banner Seventh Army, which has been fighting for several days and has a small number of troops, is the main force. It was on the frontal battlefield, and when Tu Shanwei had the strongest fighting spirit, he forcibly defeated him... After that, he chased and killed Nianhan, and even killed Shiyema in person, not to mention..."
Liu Guangshi cleared the situation in his mind, and tried his best to consider every word: "This kind of news can scare you and me, and it can also scare others. It is said that there are still 3,000 black flags fighting near Linpu, from Xicheng County to the east. , Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered... Dai Gong, the black flag is unrighteous, although his fighting strength is strong, sooner or later, he will wreak havoc in the world, but Liu's coming here has put his life and death aside, I just don't know whether Dai Gong's mind still remains. It is so."
Dai Meng closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, with a calm tone: "Uncle Liu, what this old man said before, has it ever been false, considering the general trend, within a few years, my Wu Dynasty will be defeated by the Black Flag, which is an inevitable event, Dai Mou. Since he dared to offend Heiqi here, his life and death had already been put aside. Even considering the general situation, millions of people in the south just got out of their cages, and the old man was killed by Heiqi in Xicheng County. Even bigger. The black flag is going to kill, the old man has already prepared it..."
His expression had completely recovered, and he looked at Liu Guangshi at this time: "Of course, this matter is empty words, and it may be difficult to win people's trust, but after that, Liu Gong watched it as things developed."
Liu Guangshi waved his hand.
"It's enough to have Dai Gong's words! Since Dai Gong is so frank, Liu also speaks out." He raised his head and looked at the still peaceful sky outside the hospital, "Since Black Flag has won such a big victory, since this time Since then, there may be chaos in the vicinity of Xicheng County. Dai Gong has taken over a dozen troops from Jurchen, but it is not too long, and there will be many people who have ghosts. These people have given money in the past, and they may also come down in the future. With the black flag, at least it is said that Linpu's fight will be difficult to continue... There are many preparations, and we will do it now..."
He said: "Among the dozen or so troops, there are a few that Duke Dai can control, and a few that are acquainted with each other. There may have been communication and promises in the past, but at this moment, I am afraid that it will be recalculated. Fortunately, Duke Dai has a profound morality. , Liu also has friendship with the leaders of some of these teams. You and I will join hands to lobby all parties as soon as possible, and maybe you can keep the situation from chaos and the overall situation... Several of these people have been in series with Liu a few months ago, Planning, even if they are afraid of the black flag, as long as they can see you and I join forces, they will definitely not lose the righteousness, such as Yuan Jinwen, Hou Xiao..."
When Liu Guangshi said this, his speech speed increased. Although he cherished his life and lost many battles in his life, he was able to come this far, and his thinking ability was naturally far beyond ordinary people. This record of the Black Flag Seventh Army can certainly frighten many people, but in such a tragic battle, the loss of the Black Flag itself is also huge, and it will inevitably take several years to live after that. Dai Mengwei and Liu Guangshi, of course, could not compete with the black flag, but a large group of people joined together to plot the Central Plains after Jurchen left. attractive.
After all, even if the black flag is strong at the moment, the possibility that he is strong and easy to break still exists, even a great one. Furthermore, after the Black Flag defeated the Jurchen West Route Army, they took refuge in the past, not to mention that the other party is not waiting to be seen, clear or liquidated, it is just the strict military rules of the Black Flag, and there is no retreat on the battlefield. The affordability of those who are born and pampered.
Now surrendering to the black flag, the opponent took advantage of the opportunity of a great victory, and all the surrendering troops were just the weak people who were manipulated by him. On the contrary, if you follow Dai and Liu to take the Central Plains and operate for a few years, life will be easier for you. After a few years, even if the black flag does not fall, if you surrender after a generous battle on the battlefield, you will be even more black. The flag is respected. Murder and arson are called for security. Right now, the black flag is domineering, and they don't have enough ability to cause trouble, so they can't stand security.
Regarding these thoughts, Liu Guangshi and Dai Mengwei have a clear grasp of it, but some things are naturally impossible to say verbally, and now as long as they can persuade everyone with righteousness, after the Central Plains are taken, and reforms are carried out, it is possible that they will not be able to control their subordinates. A bunch of soft eggs were culled out and cheered up again.
At this time, the sunshine outside the courtyard was quiet and the breeze was passing by. Both of them knew that the most pressing juncture had come, and they tried their best to show their cards as openly and honestly as possible. While negotiating intensively, on the other hand, he has already summoned his entourage to go to each army to deliver news. Let’s not talk about the Hanzhong battle report, but only disclose the information that Liu and Dai decided to join forces to everyone as soon as possible. In this way, we will wait for the Hanzhong battle report. Open, when someone wants to double-headed, they can also slow down and make them think twice.
Under the sun, the knights passing the news passed through the crowded county town and downtown, and the anxious atmosphere was fermenting in a peaceful atmosphere. At the second quarter of Shen Shi, a scout came in from outside the city and reported that there seemed to be a change in the military camp somewhere in the east.
Liu Guangshi rode out of the city in a carriage and walked through the crowd of people kneeling and laughing. He wanted to persuade all parties at the fastest speed to stabilize the situation for Dai Mengwei, but from a general perspective, he took advantage of this trip. Because of the victory of the black flag, Xicheng County bore the brunt. Dai Mengwei was the party who most urgently needed to relieve the siege. Where was his trump card in the army, and which troops did he really control? Under such circumstances, he could not hide it. That is to say, Dai Mengwei really gave him the bottom line, but he can have reservations about the connection and control of the various forces.
With this matter, even if Bianliang is restored in the future, the reconstruction of the imperial court will have to rely on this old man. His status in the court and his control over the court will be higher than that of the other party.
The speed of the carriage accelerated, and he kept calculating the gains and losses in his mind, planning the next plan, and then resolutely plunged into the "battlefield" he was good at.
At this moment, flames and turmoil seemed to be burning from the ground in Xicheng County. Most people don't know how it spreads.
****************
When receiving the result of the battle of Hanzhong, Ning Yi stood on the top of the mountain and was silent for a long time.
It was already the morning of April 26. Due to the poor communication during the march, the first wave of scouts sent southwards missed the Huaxia army that was heading north last night and should have arrived at Jiange. The second wave of communication The soldiers found the troops led by Ning Yi, and the relatively detailed information came.
At this time, the wind and clouds were drifting away, and it seemed that it might rain at any time in the distance. On the hillside were the Huaxia Army troops running and marching. After leaving Zhaohua, this elite force of more than 2,000 people marched at a speed of more than 60 miles per day. He also maintained the physical strength to fight along the way. After all, Nianhan Xiyin is an enemy that should not be underestimated. It is difficult to determine whether they will make a desperate attempt to volley Ning Yi on the way and reverse the victory.
The straight-line distance from Zhaohua to Hanzhong is more than 260 miles, and the road distance is more than 400. Ning Yi and Qu Zhengyan left Zhaohua on the 23rd day. Later - if you have to fight your life, you can of course go faster, such as a forced march of more than 120 miles a day, it is not impossible for more than 2,000 people to do it, but before the popularity of hot weapons, such a marching intensity will be in vain. Give, it doesn't make sense.
Qin Shaoqian led the Seventh Army to fight from April 19th, and the first round of the battle was fierce to white-hot. Ning Yi and Qu Zhengyan's northward journey was more like doing their best to obey the destiny, and a lot of psychological preparations had been done earlier.
Win or lose is possible.
But the confirmation of the news, as always, can still give people a huge impact. Standing in the mountains, Ning Yi was enveloped by that huge emotion. His martial arts training has not stopped for many years, and running and marching is not a problem, but at this time, he seems to have lost his strength and let his emotions be dominated by that emotion. He stood blankly for a long time.
As a winner, it is a legitimate right to enjoy this moment or even to indulge in it. It has been more than ten years since Jurchen went south. At that time, Ning Ji was just born. He wanted to go north, and his family, including Tan'er, were preventing him. After all, things and wars are not enough, and world affairs come in waves, but they are brave.
After more than ten years, Nianhan and Xiyin were finally defeated.
After beheading Sheye Ma outside Hanzhong City, a group of Jurchen generals escaped to Hanzhong with Nianhan. The only one who still has fighting power, Xiyin, built a defense line inside and outside Hanzhong, mobilized the fleet, prepared to escape, and the chasing army entered all the way. In Hanzhong, the resistance of the Jurchens that night almost lit up half the city, but a large number of courageous Jurchen troops also fled desperately. Xi Yin and others gave up their stubborn resistance and escorted Nianhan and some of the main force on board the ship, leaving only a small number of troops to gather and flee as much as possible.
In the entire Hanzhong battlefield, there were tens of thousands of Jin Guo troops who were defeated and fleeing. The Huaxia Army forced a few landings, but for most of them, they gave up chasing and annihilating. In fact, in this tragic battle, the number of victims of the Huaxia Seventh Army has exceeded one-third, and a lot of people have left the team in the chaos. The specific numbers are still being counted. There is no possibility of counting on this day.
After Nianhan left, the Seventh Army was unable to catch up.
The tragic situation of the battle cannot be described in detail on a small piece of paper.
Qu Zhengyan walked over, and Ning Yi handed him the information. After reading it, Qu Zhengyan waved his fist almost subconsciously, and then stood there in a daze for a moment before looking at Ning Yi: "Also... As expected, after this battle..."
"Too many people died..." Ning Yi said.
Regarding Ning Yi's words, Qu Zhengyan couldn't take it anymore. There will naturally be casualties in the war. The Seventh Army defeated the 100,000-strong army of Nianhan and Xiyin with less than 20,000 people. Cruel, but if such a price is not paid, it would be too naive. He thought of this, and heard Ning Yi say another sentence: "...Damn it." Only then did he realize that he was thinking of some other people. As for which one, he didn't need to guess too much at this time.
Immediately, he said: "Do you want the team to stop, take a break, and tell them the news?"
Ning Yi shook his head.
"Keep walking, just practice."
After he finished speaking, he also trotted towards the front. Flags fluttered, and long lines crossed the mountains. Clouds rolled in the distant sky, and it seemed like it was going to rain, but it was sunny at this moment, and the sun was shining down from the other side of the sky.
In this way, the team marched for a few days in the dark clouds and wind and rain. On the 29th day of April, Ning Yi arrived near Hanzhong. When he crossed the hillside, Qin Shaoqian led someone to greet him from there. He was still one-eyed and dressed in bandages. , the injury has not yet healed, and his hair is messy, but he smiled boldly in the breath of the wound medicine, and stretched out his uninjured right hand to meet Ning Yi.
"We won. What do you think?"
"Nothing to say except handsome."
With a sigh in Ning Yi's words, the two embraced each other. After a while, Qin Shaoqian stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, then put his shoulders on him, and the group walked towards the military camp not far away.
The gongs and drums of victory have already sounded.
…
The first time he arrived, Ning Yi went to see the wounded in the wounded barracks, followed by a meeting to summarize and report the battle situation, as well as the situation in Hanzhong and even hundreds of miles nearby. The situation for several days in a row has piled up for half the world, and this first round of reports is messy and compact.
Ning Yi held the meeting for most of the day, and had a macro understanding of the whole situation, and his mind was also a little tired. As evening approached, he sat down on the mountainside outside the barracks. The sunset had not yet turned red. The barracks was nearby, and Hanzhong was not far away. The traces of the war had actually faded before his eyes. The wounded were lying in the camp, and the victims were already I can't see you forever, it's only been a few days. Such a perception is depressing. Ning Yi could only imagine that where he was, he had experienced an extremely fierce charge a few days ago.
Qin Shaoqian came up from the side, waved off his entourage, and stood aside: "After a big victory, it's time to celebrate."
"There are too many people who died. Those who should have survived, even if they didn't fight Hanzhong..."
"Without this battle, their lives would be unhappy... The 20,000 people of the Seventh Army, the practice of military training is extremely extreme, and their hard work has been squeezed out. They lived for this war, and lived for revenge. After the Southwest War, of course, they have The world has proved the strength of the Huaxia Army, but without this battle, the 20,000 people of the Seventh Army would not be able to survive. They may turn into evil spirits and disrupt the order of the world. With this great victory, those who survived , may be able to live well..."
Qin Shaoqian said this, was silent for a moment, and patted Ning Yi on the shoulder: "Why do I say these things, you know it clearly in your heart. In addition, the reason why Nianhan and Xiyin are willing to fight is because you can't make it to Hanzhong for the time being. , if you come, they will leave. If you don't come, you will have to fight. So in any case, this is a battle that must be completed independently by the Seventh Army. Now the result is very good. I am very pleased. Father and brother are alive in heaven. , will feel gratified.”
Ning Yi was silent, and then smiled when he arrived: "Old Qin Ruo has a spirit in the sky, I'm afraid he doesn't want to fight with me."
"So what, you are invincible, he can't beat you."
"That's what you said."
Ning Yi answered this, Qin Shaoqian sat down, just like many years ago on August 15th, Zong Wang and Guo Yaoshi came over, Qin Shaoqian wanted to lead the army to meet the enemy, they sat down on the grassy slope in front of them. Red sunset. This day is April 29, the first year of revitalization.
In the barracks not far away, there were soldiers singing. After the two listened for a while, Qin Shaoqian opened his mouth:
"What's next... get an emperor?"
Everything is within reach.
