To the east of Bianliang, near Qixian County, the small village has recently become lively. 》.[]
Most of the residents who originally lived in the vicinity have moved out. The reason for the excitement is that the army of the Qin Kings from various roads has arrived one after another. Headed by Wu Rui Camp, an army of more than 60,000 people has been gathered near Qixian County.
Even an army with a number of more than 10,000 is a complete ecosystem. When it reaches tens of thousands, it is a big test for the commander to control the army.
Now that the Jurchen army is under the city, the war is about to break out, and the army is naturally much stricter than usual. However, several large armies gathered near here. The three armies of Wuwei, Wusheng and Wurui belonged to different military officers. Besides the three armies, the 30,000 people of Wujie Battalion came from the west. The forbidden troops with independent designations, such as Pengri, Tianwu, Longwu, etc., have all withdrawn to the capital. There are also some small-scale imperial armed forces in various places, plus various troops of the King of Qin who come from all directions. They are all gathered here. Who to listen to, who to ask for logistics, and where to live, has become a turbulent matter.
The military organization of the Wu Dynasty was originally a bit chaotic. This time the army gathered, and the military envoys of each army were actually on the same level. When they gathered this time, the various armies could not control each other. As the top officers, such as He Chengzhong of the Wuwei Battalion of the Tong Guan line, Liang Zhongshu of the Cai Jing line, and Huo Jue of the Wu Rui Battalion of the Right Party, although they discussed together every day about how to fight next, none of them dared to easily confront each other. The Jurchen launched an attack, and after several armies approached, it was for each other's logistics. Countless friction.
In the capital, the one with the most prestige and ability to lead the war this time was actually Tong Guan—even though his evaluation in later generations was not high, he was indeed the first military officer of the Wu Dynasty at this time. But Jurchen went south, and in the capital, the situation was changing and complicated, and Tong Guan fled from Taiyuan, which was tainted, after returning to the capital. Zhou Zhe was somewhat grumpy in his heart. He shrank himself.
It is also for this reason that when selecting the supreme commander of the defense battle, only the left-handed Prime Minister Li Gang stood up. The dynasty is dark, and the generals are incompetent. Li Gang complained a lot about this. It is said that no one dares to stand up above the court. The old prime minister had no choice but to come out and say: "If the sage is not afraid to use the civil minister to take charge of military affairs, the minister is willing to do it." For Tong Guan and others, this was a slap in the face. However, in the Wu Dynasty, civil officials were in charge of the military. Tong Guan lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhou Zhe caught the strong man and happily threw the hot potato out.
After Li Gang took over, he was probably a little resentful. In order to fill the river, he demolished all the gardens of Cai Jing's house. In fact, although he has been in the position of left minister for several years, many affairs have always been involved and controlled. The most powerful people in the court are always Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng and others. The old prime minister had a straight and hot temperament, and was not as flexible as Qin Siyuan, the right prime minister, but this time the whole dynasty was in danger.
Of course, these things are also known to the top executives in Beijing. Although Li Gang is now the highest commander and guards the capital closely, it is not easy for several large armies outside the city to be like an arm and a commander. Under such circumstances, when the scattered troops of the King of Diligence outside the city—including some bandits who had recruited security before—3500 gathered together, who should listen to the command and who to eat with them would become a problem. troublesome thing.
That's why, when a young general named Yue Fei arrived in Qi County with more than 300 soldiers under his command, and found Ning Yi in the small courtyard of a nearby village, the surrounding situation was such a chaotic situation.
Outside the camp where the large army was gathered, there were all kinds of messy small military camps, noisy noises, occasional frictions, daily quarrels for military supplies and supplies, plus various small battle reports and wounded. It's not that the several reorganized armies don't want to have more people, but the efficiency of the various types of troops is too low, and the complicated system of the Wu Dynasty is still there. All became tense and cluttered.
The more than 300 people led by Yue Fei were originally stationed near their hometown of Tangyin, and the Jurchen went all the way south. Although Tangyin was not beaten, the various command systems north of the Yellow River were also in chaos. When he learned the news of Master's death, he led more than 300 people to chase after him. After arriving near Bianliang, he did not know which army to defect to.
Fortunately, although he is loyal and upright, he is not a scheming person. After he became an army, he secretly inquired and knew that his resurrection was an order sent indirectly by Qin Shaoqian. He had never seen such court officials before, but after arriving near Qixian County, he saw the people from Zhuji and came all the way to look for Ning Yi.
There are a hundred or two hundred people in Zhuji gathered here, occupying a large yard near Wu Rui Camp. After Yue Fei inquired a little, the stragglers gathered around only knew that the yard was very lively with people coming and going every day, and sometimes officials came in and out, but no one knew what was going on inside, and some people guessed that they were in charge of helping The court was transporting the logistical supplies, but after Yue Fei entered the door, all he could hear was someone yelling at him.
"...Little Huangkou, I don't know how serious it is, how many important matters of life and death are involved here, how could you and other villains take the opportunity to play with power! How many people died in Chenghuangpo, and how many people died in the Yuangang area! The official will not let the people under the rule of this official go to die! They stay in the city, stand on the city wall to defend, there is still a way to survive—”
The scolding was sonorous and righteous, Yue Fei didn't know what it was for, but he heard a voice.
"Master Yu, I said, you have misunderstood. The people of Zhuji are only coordinating the evacuation in the name of the imperial court because they are familiar with the surrounding roads. My people will coordinate the timing and route for you, whether to do it or not. Forcing you to…”
"You quibble!" The man shouted, "Ning Liheng, you think I don't know, although I, Yu Wenfeng, is a small county magistrate, I am not a person without background. Behind you Zhuji is the right With the support of the Prime Minister's office, this time outside, everything is coordinated by you and others. Although you Zhuji person put down your things and left, but I said no, and an official document came in the afternoon that day, you are Yu, I don't know what happened The war is imminent, and you are doing such absurd things around. You are also a person who has read poetry and books, and you are not afraid that the dead under the Jiuquan will not let you go—”
"Come here, send Mr. Yu away, Mr. Yu, you made a mistake. If you don't want to withdraw, then don't withdraw. There are still many things to be busy with the villain, and they are all official duties that have been suppressed. I will personally come to the door to say my apology..."
"A man is upright. Ning Liheng, do you dare to do it but dare not say it. Do you dare to confront me—"
In the midst of the clamor, the savage voice of seeing off the guests could be heard, and an official was pushed out. At this time, crowds came and went in the courtyard. Ning Yi also came out from the door over there. A few people followed. Yue Fei was about to go up, when the sound of a galloping horse stopped outside the courtyard, and a man with a light kung fu dashed in. He said something in a low voice in front of Ning Yi. Yue Fei is highly skilled in martial arts. He vaguely heard where there were more than 3,000 people. Ning Yi frowned and said in a low voice, "Which army is nearby, the organization is scattered, let Brother Wenren ask for a warrant, Brother Yong, this is troublesome. You lead a team, as long as you have something to eat, you must go…”
The person next to him called Brother Yong was Qi Xinyong of Soul Soul Gun. When he was in Jiangning, Yue Fei also had a relationship with him, and he left after seeing him hand in hand. Ning Yi finally walked quickly towards Yue Fei: "Brother Yue, long time no see, you are here too."
Yue Fei stood up straight and cupped his hands. The friendship between him and Ning Yi is not very deep. At the beginning, he helped save the Su family in Jiangning. Later, they met and chatted twice. Ning Yi regarded him as a "beneficiary", but Yue Fei was a Zhou Tong since he was a child. Teaching, at the time, was just chasing bandits, and didn't think it was a big deal. When I came to the door this time, I didn't want people to think that he was begging for favor.
Moreover, in Jiangning, although the two fought side by side for a short period of time, Yue Fei later learned that this scholar was ruthless. . He heard the scolding from the county magistrate just now, and at this moment, he subconsciously kept some distance from Ning Yi.
Seeing that Yue Fei came here at this time, Ning Yi naturally knew the reason, and soon after, he found Qin Shaoqian and introduced him to him. At this time, Yue Fei was not well-known, but Qin Shaoqian was a general in the army. He was blind in one eye when sniping at the Jurchen army in Shouzhang, and he was very domineering and murderous. Yue Fei only thought that Ning Yi was deliberately trying to establish a relationship for him. Ning Yi told Qin Shaoqian that the young general should be very good at fighting. Qin Shaoqian also thought it was a compliment. Afterwards, people put more than 300 people under Yue Fei's subordinates into the army to provide food supplies, and then arranged these 300 people with Zhu Ji, temporarily listening to Ning Yi's command and deployment.
Yue Fei's role at the beginning was because Ning Yi was looking for him, and this time he was so enthusiastic. In Qin Shaoqian's view, either it was due to Jiangning's favor, or he felt that the teenager really had potential, so he had to form a good relationship and accept him as a thug in the future. At this time, many warriors were despised. Although Qin Shaoqian was a general, he was a leader of three As a junior military attache of the Baixiang Army, in his opinion, it is not a waste to run errands under Ning Yi's aide. Moreover, although everyone was not sure about the necessity of what Ning Yi did at this time, the mobilization of millions of civilians near the capital was indeed very labor-intensive.
One of the big reasons for Yue Fei to go south is because of the sacrifice of his master Zhou Tong. Who knows that he is now assigned to a group of businessmen who don't know what to do as guards, and he is somewhat resentful. But he has been in the army for several years, and he also understands some things in the military and officialdom, and naturally he will not do anything out of the ordinary. Moreover, in the current period of time, more than 100,000 people have gathered, and it is only a small-scale fierce friction. Everyone is confronting and holding on. The situation makes him, such as middle and lower-level officers, quite confused.
As usual, all the Jurchens hit the capital and fell to the ground. There are more than 100,000 troops gathered here, plus the nearly 100,000 people in the city, everyone would want to drive the Jurchen away as soon as possible. Here it is.
Although he couldn't understand Ning Yi, Ning Yi didn't want to neglect him. After that, although he was busy every day, he would go over to say hello to each other and chat for a while. When the other party asked, Ning Yi knew that during this period of time it was not peaceful inside and outside the capital, but after thinking about it, he could only say: "I am busy negotiating."
Beijing and Beijing are indeed busy negotiating things right now.
In Bianliang City, after an initial round of onslaught, the Jurchen sent someone to deliver the conditions for peace talks. There are four conditions for peace talks:
1. The compensation fee for warriors is five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver, 10,000 cattle and horses, and one million silk and satin.
Second, Zhou Zhe respected Wu Qimai as his uncle.
3. The three places of Zhongshan, Taiyuan and Hejian were ceded.
4. Take the prince and the prime minister as hostages, and escort the Jurchen army to return home.
Theoretically speaking, the battle has not yet been fought, and when these four points are added up, there is basically nothing to talk about for a country. But at least according to Ning Yi's information, in the capital at this time, on the one hand, Zhou Zhe supported Li Gang's strict defense with huge "boldness", on the other hand, everyone was really discussing the matter of seeking peace. After two visits, they went to the Jurchen barracks to discuss the peace talks.
"In the capital, I heard that there is already a lot of noise." When the sun went down, Ning Yi looked at the huge busy camp and sighed with Yue Fei. He couldn't say too much. In the capital, the emperor gave Li Gang the responsibility of defending the city and the main battle. In a blink of an eye, he was negotiating peace again. Li Gang had already scolded several times in the Golden Palace, "So close relatives hurt enemies quickly." Words such as how to face the people who are fighting in front of you have also been scolded, but everyone only mentions Jiangshan and Sheji, and most of them bypass the current restricted area.
Zhou Zhe didn't mention it, and only comforted Li Gang: "I want to fight, the family and the country are like this, and the blame is on me, but the prime minister, for the sake of the society, the soldiers only need to think about fighting, but I have to do both."
If the struggle failed, Li Gang also asked him to come forward to negotiate with Jurchen. However, Zhou Zhe did not agree, and finally let Li Cha, who was more able to bend and stretch, go.
Qin Siyuan didn't open his mouth in the middle of it.
Qin Shaohe has been guarding Taiyuan for a month, and now the news from both sides has been cut off. I don't know what is going on. Although Qin Siyuan would never bring this kind of reason for his son to fight in front of the court to justify it - but that is everyone. Can't even mention the restricted area.
After all, the person who wants to sell in the rear has already fought hard to the death at this time...
A few days later, an edict issued Qin Siyuan's dismissal. (Please search for floating astronomy, better and faster!
