Great Song Pirate

Chapter 624
Not long after the founding of the Kingdom of Jin, although the soldiers and horses are strong, the number of troops may not be sufficient, and now their territory is very wide. After a large number of annihilation of their army, no matter how strong the Kingdom of Jin is, it will not be able to sustain it, so Fighting this battle well is not necessarily worse than capturing Liaoyang Mansion.

As long as Wanyan Zonggan's army can be killed, there will inevitably be a shortage of troops on Dongdong Road and Shangjing Road in the Kingdom of Jin in a short period of time. Then he will move his army northward, and he will be able to easily take over a large amount of land in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Jin. Therefore It is also very important for the Fubo army to win this battle, Xu Yi dare not slack off in the slightest.

After Xu Yi inspected the situation on the pier for a while, he found that many local people were also working here, so he had a chat with them.

These ordinary people don't know what Xu Yi does, but looking at Xu Yi's extraordinary temperament, and there are many sturdy warriors around him, he knows that Xu Yi will not be an ordinary general of the Fubo Army, so he speaks very easily. Be polite.

"Old man! You are so old, why are you still here to help?" Xu Yi saw an elderly man who was carrying a bag of grain off the boat, so he reached out to help him unload the grain bag, asked him with a smile.

The old man felt a little flattered. He quickly patted the dust on his body, bent his knees, and hurriedly knelt down to Xu Yi and replied, "I dare not be you, General! This is killing the old man!..."

Xu Yi hurriedly pulled him up to talk, the old man calmed down a little when he saw that Xu Yi had no airs, and then said: "To tell you the truth, the old man is old, but his body is still strong. Benevolence and righteousness! I have seen many large armies in my life, but this is the first time I have seen such an army as yours. The bullying of the rich people, they don’t treat us poor people as human beings, and then the Jin people came, and they were even more fierce. Both our sons were killed by the Jin people, and my daughter was also... Alas!  …

I can't go on living these days. I didn't expect that after you came here, you are completely different from them. You have done nothing to us ordinary people, and you have given us food, clothing, and land. I have never done anything in my life. So comfortable!I also thought about it, after you came here, you are the blessings of us ordinary people!If you are beaten away again by the Jinren, then we ordinary people should go back and live a hard life again!My old bone won't be alive for long, as long as you defeat Jin Bing, then even if my old bone is thrown here, you will recognize it!You must hold on! "The old man said to Xu Yi earnestly.

Xu Yi was also quite moved after hearing the old man's words. No wonder the Communist Party of later generations was able to win the world in the first place, relying on the hearts of the people!Now that they have done what they have done, they have obviously begun to gain the support of the local people. With their support, there will be no major problems in gaining a firm foothold here in the future, so they thanked the old man repeatedly and asked him to work more leisurely. Don't get tired!And promise to absolutely stick to this city, and never let Jin Bing take a step beyond Gaizhou City, and then go to harm the people here.

After Xu Yi left, the old man felt that Xu Yi might be a very important person, so he secretly asked a Fubo soldier who was working beside him: "I said, Mr. Jun, who is the man who spoke to the old man just now?" Who is it?"

The soldier looked at the direction Xu Yi was leaving and smiled at the old man: "Old man! You are lucky! I have been working in the Fubo Army for so long, and I have never spoken to our lord, but you and us The lord has said so much, even I feel jealous! Hehe!"

"Ah?!..." The old man was stunned on the spot. In his heart, because of what the Fubo Army did after the arrival of the Fubo Army, these ordinary people who have benefited from it have long regarded the leader of the Fubo Army as a benefactor Unexpectedly, today he met the biggest leader of the Fubo Army, and had a chat with him in such an approachable manner, and even helped him unload the grain bag with his own hands, so his lips trembled with excitement, and he hurriedly told Xu Yi He knelt down in the direction of leaving, kowtowed repeatedly, and said, "Benefactor!"

After the old man told the story to his neighbors, these local poor people were also greatly moved, so the news spread, and some ordinary people in the vicinity also flocked to Gaizhou City to help build the offensive in Gaizhou City. Carrying materials such as stones and grains is in full swing.

Standing at the top of the city, Xu Yi looked at the busy scenery inside and outside the city and the common people squirming like ants below, seeing their work in full swing, and said to the surrounding soldiers with emotion: "Look, everyone! The common people are such people, if you treat them well, they will be grateful to you, and even risk their lives to follow you, so at any time, don’t treat these poor people badly! The reason why the dynasties of the world have The revolving door change is because those high-ranking officials did not know how to show compassion for the common people, and finally lost the world! Most of you are also from poor backgrounds. No matter where you are in the future, you should also remember that the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world! Don't be mean to the common people!"

After listening to Xu Yi's words, everyone nodded and said yes. At the beginning, they didn't quite understand why Xu Yi was so lenient to the common people here. Now, after seeing the actions of these common people, they fully understood the truth. , in many places, no matter whether it is the government or the army, once there is a war, most of them will drive the common people to help defend the city, but most of the time they are driven by violence, but this time they are in Gaizhou City, but they did not drive them away at all. The common people came to do things for them, but it was completely out of the common people's voluntary, but they didn't expect that so many common people came now, which was beyond their expectation.

With this understanding, the discipline in the Fubo Army became much stricter, and Xu Yi simply moved over the slogan of the Yue Family Army later, "Don't demolish houses to death from freezing, don't take captives to death from starvation." After it came out, once it was publicized, the people in Liaodong area rushed to tell each other and raised their hands to celebrate, which played a very beneficial role in the future development of the Fubo Army.

According to the old habit, Xu Yi went to the medical camp in the city again, visited the soldiers who were injured in the battle of Liaoyang Mansion in the camp, asked about their injuries, and expressed condolences to them. The subordinates are grateful and glad that they are fortunate enough to be a member of the Fubo Army. Otherwise, they will follow others. It is estimated that these wounded people will not know where they were thrown, and there will be no place to die. The military doctor of the Fubo Army The system is very good to ensure that these injured soldiers will not be abandoned. As long as the soldiers are injured due to the battle, no matter what the situation, they will be snatched back by the Fubo Army and treated properly. This has played a role in maintaining the strong morale of the Fubo Army. The vital role has now formed a tradition, which is why the soldiers of the Fubo Army dare to fight with their lives in front of the battle, which is extremely difficult for the armies of all countries in the world.

When Xu Yi hadn't finished his tour of the medical camp, someone suddenly came to report: "My lord! The imperial envoy of the Great Song Dynasty has arrived outside Gaizhou City. Please welcome me, my lord!"

Xu Yi was taken aback. Didn't he have someone notify the imperial envoy?Didn't you already tell him that you don't accept the appointment of an official from the court?Why did this imperial envoy even come here? Isn't this difficult for others?

After Xu Yi hesitated for a while, he finally decided to meet the imperial envoy sent by Zhao Xu. It would be unreasonable if he didn't even see him, so he took Hou Cheng and others and headed towards the south gate.

Standing outside Gaizhou City, Chen Dong was in a rather complicated mood. As the imperial envoy of the Holy Majesty, he came here to announce the decree to increase the rank and rank of the leader of the Fubo Army. This is a great grace for a former thief. The recent actions of the Fubo Army can only be commended, but what he never expected was that the leader of the Fubo Army would not accept the entrustment of the imperial court, and he would not even return to Suzhou Pass, so he would be sent back. It's so rude!

Chen Dong didn't wait for Xu Yi to go back to receive the order in Suzhou Pass, but he waited for Xu Yi's polite refusal. He was very dissatisfied. Going back, he originally wanted to leave in a huff, but after thinking about it carefully, he stayed again.

Now the Great Song Dynasty is in danger. Although Zhao Xu has the demeanor of a generation of Mingjun, the Great Song Dynasty has been weak for a long time, and it will take a process to recover in a short time. As a scholar, he can clearly see this point. In front of the Jin army, almost all of them showed a one-sided decline. As the soldiers and horses fighting against the Jin in various parts of the Song Dynasty, the Fubo army was definitely an outlier. It became a big banner of the Song Dynasty to fight against the Jin Dynasty, which played a very inspiring role. It inspired many people in the Song Dynasty to join the ranks of the Anti-Golden Dynasty, and played a very important role in restoring the decline of the Song Dynasty.

For this point, Chen Dong admired the commander of the Fubo Army very much, so after thinking about it for a while, he felt that he could not just leave like this, otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the emperor if he could not complete the mission to go back. In any case, he wanted to meet this legendary figure who is now chanted in the Song Dynasty, so he ignored Xue Tu's dissuasion, and resolutely decided to go to Gaizhou to meet Xu Yi in person.

Xue Tu saw that the young imperial envoy was determined and could not be forced, so he drove him away, so he had to send someone to escort him to Gaizhou to meet Xu Yi. As for how Xu Yi refused, that was Xu Yi's business. Everything is for Xu Yi.

Chen Dong's heart was shaken a lot during this journey. He originally thought that the Fubo Army, as pirates, would plunder after they conquered this place. I am afraid that Liaodong has long been a piece of red land and scorched earth, but what he never expected was that, What he saw along the way was that there was joy everywhere. In many places, people were farming in the fields, and there were people grazing cattle and sheep leisurely on the grasslands. There are porridge sheds set up by the Fubo Army to provide meals, and refugees are constantly building settlements in some places, but there is a scene of prosperity, so I start to feel very surprised.

Compared with the current situation in the north of the Song Dynasty, it is not like the scorched earth in the north of the Song Dynasty after the Jin soldiers. How could the Fubo army achieve such a level?It only took them two or three months to capture here, not only did they not completely destroy everything here, but they quickly entered a state of recovery. The local people also lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they did not show any signs of rebellion against them. When Fu Bojun was doing things, Chen Dong was a little out of his mind. He just walked and watched along the way, and the more he watched, the more he felt convinced. At the beginning, he still had a trace of contempt. When he walked to Fuzhou City, It completely converged.

An accompanying person pointed to the gully-criss battlefield outside Fuzhou City, and said to Chen Dong: "This is the place where our Fubo Army defeated the [-] Jin Army some time ago. Look at the land here, and there are still Soaked in the blood of the Jin people, look there again, are those big earth bags? That is the place where the corpses of the Jin soldiers are buried, and there are at least thousands of golden soldiers buried under each big mound. In front of our Fubo army, the only thing they can do is to be beaten, and everyone says that the Jin army is powerful, but in our opinion, it is really mediocre!"

The person who said this was proud, and felt that although he was just a pirate in front of the officials of the Song Dynasty, he had more face. It seems that the land is vast and rich, but they have so many soldiers and horses, they were beaten to pieces by the Jin army, and even the imperial city was almost lost. The emperor was captured by the Jin army. Compared with Da Song, it is simply I am so proud of myself.

After listening to it, Chen Dong himself felt a little ashamed of Da Song. A small Fubo army was so powerful that he could not find the Jin army in the north. In front of Fubo army, even a small pawn , don't take Jin Jun seriously, the gap is too big!
Chen Dong no longer dared to show his sense of superiority in front of these people in the Fubo Army. He took the initiative to let go of his airs, put away the arrogance unique to their scholars, and began to take the initiative to talk to the soldiers of the Fubo Army who accompanied him. They chatted, and when he learned what Fubo Army had done over the years, Chen Dong's heart was turbulent and his heart was surging!
Heaven, my earth!The Fubo army is so powerful, why haven't I heard of it before?If he hadn't looked at the confident expressions of the soldiers of the Fubo Army, Chen Dong couldn't believe his ears. With his own strength, the Fubo Army actually beat Annan, Zhanpo, and Japan to cede territory and pay compensation. How great they must be!

At this moment, he touched the imperial decree in his arms, and he was too embarrassed to show the imperial decree again. The leader of the Fubo army, Xu Yi, is so powerful, and even when the national crisis was at stake, he still led the army back. The anti-gold on land, with such a mind, is enough to shame many officials in the Song Dynasty, and has established such meritorious deeds, but his emperor only gave him a fifth-rank official. Now even he feels that it is really unfair. , I thought it was the imperial court's grace to Xu Yi, and gave them a chance to rectify their names in the Fubo Army. It will produce a feeling of insult, it seems that people think this official is too small, and they can't look down on him at all!He began to no longer have illusions about this mission!
If you don't pick it up, don't pick it up. Anyway, come here, let's go and see how majestic the big leader of the Fubo Army, Xu Yi, is. Now Chen Dong himself has begun to look up to Xu Yi.

When he arrived at Gaizhou City, Chen Dong didn't dare to put on airs at all. He took the initiative to get out of the car, stood at the city gate and asked Fubo Jun to report his arrival, and waited outside the city for Xu Yi's arrival, and then took a look. The generals and camps of the Fubo Army who were purged inside and outside the city were even more shocked in their hearts.

When he was in Bianliang City, he also watched the Jin Army and the camp of the Jin Army from the city. He was still shocked by the ferocity shown by the Jin Army, and he was ashamed of the poor performance of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. I can't help but feel that the Song Army's defeat by the Jin Army is not wronged, but after seeing the elite soldiers of the Fubo Army today, he realized that there are people out there who are beyond the sky, and the murderous spirit shown by these elites of the Fubo Army is no better than that of the Jin Army. How weak is it? What impressed him even more was that although this place would soon face a counterattack from a large number of Jin troops, he did not see a trace of tension on the faces of the soldiers of the Fubo Army here at all. There is a trace of calmness, a trace of calmness, and a calm look on the face. This is by no means an expression that can be pretended casually, but full of a kind of self-confidence!
Chen Dong had never seen this on Song Jun's face before. When Song Jun heard that Jin Bing was approaching the city, the expression of panic, bewilderment, and fear on his face often reappeared on him until now. in the mind.

Looking at the ravines and ditches extending everywhere outside the city, the continuous barriers, and the people busy like ants in the upper and lower parts of the city, Chen Dong didn't see any Fubo soldiers threatening them to do things with knives and guns, so he was surprised. The soldiers of the Fubo Army around him asked: "Where are these people from? Why are they left unattended to work?"

The soldiers who accompanied him took a look, and replied calmly: "These are some ordinary people near the local area. They heard that the Jin army is coming to attack Gaizhou City, and they all came here spontaneously to build fortifications for our army, so I don't need them." Army to drive them!"

"Oh? The local people should be the subjects of the Jin people, how can they help the Fubo army?" Chen Dong continued to express his doubts.

A small school replied with a smile: "It's simple, ordinary people! Whoever treats them well, they themselves are like a mirror in their hearts, and they know better than anyone else that our Fubo army never bullies them. After we get here, we will return them. Food and clothing, compared to the Jurchens treating them, it is so much better. If they don’t help us, can they help the Jurchens to beat us? Now they are afraid that we will not be able to stand up to the Jin Army, let alone ask them to help, Even if they are not allowed to help, they will not agree! Hehe!"

Chen Dong was stunned for a long while, and then he let out a long sigh: "Boss Xu is really a heavenly man!"

"Of course, otherwise, would we people be so determined to follow our lord? It's because our lord knows what's hot and cold about us, and it's worth losing our heads to follow him!" A soldier interjected again, very Said proudly.

"My lord, you still don't know! Our lord has long been called Lei Gong by us, and our lord is the reincarnation of Lei Gong. As long as he is a member of the Fubo Army, no one does not know!" Another person interjected.

"Lei Gong?" Chen Dong was a little confused. How could this Xu Yi be called Lei Gong by his subordinates?Does he look like Lei Gong?That would be a bit too ugly!Chen Dong thought about it in his heart, and then he organized the image of Xu Yi in his mind. A nondescript image of wearing a battle robe, a helmet and armor, and a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek gradually emerged.

While Chen Dong was chatting with these escorts, a group of people greeted them from the south gate. The leader was wearing a black armor that was basically the same as ordinary generals of the Fubo Army, and was covered with a light blue war robe. To be inconspicuous, but this person exudes a strange temperament. He is not angry but has a peaceful smile on his face. He is a very contradictory collection. There is a feeling of wanting to get close, but not daring to make mistakes.

And he was surrounded by a group of guards with lightning eyes, who could tell at a glance that they were all good players. These people were very vigilant, followed this general, and inadvertently, they tightly protected this general.

As soon as the Fubo Army soldiers who accompanied Chen Dong saw this person, they immediately stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Please refer to the lord for the humble position!"

Chen Dong immediately knew that this person was the target of his proclamation this time, and he was also the leader of the Fubo Army, Xu Yi, so he quickly brushed off the dust on his robe sleeves, and walked a few steps forward to Xu Yi. He can be called Lord Xu Yi, but Chen Dong can't call him that, because his master is now Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, so he can only be called a general.

"Chen Dong has met General Xu!" After walking all the way, Chen Dong no longer dared to plead in front of Xu Yi, and took the initiative to greet Xu Yi with a salute.

Xu Yi jumped off the horse, and hurriedly returned the salute: "I am a commoner, how can I accept the gift from the adults? Master Chen is too polite!"

Chen Dong saw that although Xu Yi had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he didn't put on airs in front of him at all, and he didn't feel arrogance or domineering at all, so he liked Xu Yi even more, so he hurriedly said: "Chen has already I have heard of the general's reputation, and seeing him today, the general is really extraordinary, it is indeed Chen's luck to see the general here!"

Xu Yi saw that Chen Dong was not too old, and he spoke very politely, and from his face, he looked upright, not like a treacherous person, so he also had a good impression of Chen Dong, so he even said that he was polite. , and invited Chen Dong to the temporary commander-in-chief's mansion in Gaizhou City.
