Chapter 20 The decree(2/4)
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
To be continued...
