Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Chapter 88: Scholars mess with state affairs

It turned out that when Nianhan retreated to Yunzhong, he ordered a spy to pass a message to the court, saying that the Song army was getting stronger and he wanted to withdraw from Taiyuan.When the news came, Xu Han, the Privy Councilor with Tongzhi, was overjoyed. He sent envoys to Zhongshi several times to urge him to go to war immediately, and even scolded him for teasing (that is, being afraid of the enemy in the face of battle).

The master of the field sighed to his left and right: "It's a big killing for the soldiers. I have been in the army for decades now. How can I suffer such a serious crime when I am old?" So he sent people to Yao Gu and Zhang Xiaochun. His son Zhang Hao and his two armies agreed to raise troops at the same time to relieve the siege of Taiyuan.While leaving the food, grass and baggage behind, he personally led a large army to garrison in Shikeng, Shouyang County.

At this time, his subordinate Huang You saw that this place was not conducive to garrisoning troops and said: "The terrain here is unfavorable and we will be attacked on three sides. It is better to withdraw our troops and make further plans."

Zhong Shizhong said helplessly: "The imperial court has already counted my sins. How can I bear the name of cowardice again?" So he did not listen to Huang You's suggestion.Upon seeing this, Huang You sighed: "The war is over!"

At this time, Yin Shu, the leader of the Jin army, heard that he had raised [-] troops from his division to rescue Taiyuan. He urgently recruited his general Wanyan Loushi, his eldest son Wanyan Huonv, and his second son Wanyan Mouyan, and the generals quickly joined forces with [-] troops. Come to welcome the teacher.

The two armies of the Song and Jin Dynasties met in the stone pit, and each took their positions. Wanyan Loushi rushed out and stepped forward to call for formation.The masters did not show any weakness. They dismounted their horses and went out to meet the enemy.

When Wanyan Lou's room saw the master, he couldn't help but praise his good looks.I only saw this:

The silver helmet looks like a frost cover, and the white beard is dyed with snow.His eyes were like lightning, and his body was protected by ice armor.

As brave as Xue Li, Jia Fuzhong was born again.The two armies are fighting for their lives in front of the battlefield, and the heroes are getting stronger with age.

Wanyan Loushi asked: "Is it fair to say that the general is Kansai Souchong?"

The cultivator replied: "That's me, who are you?"

Wanyanloushi replied: "I am Wanyanloushi, the vanguard under the command of Nianhan, the deputy commander of the West Road."

Master Zhong smiled and said: "A nobody dares to come here. Since you know my name, why not retreat quickly?"

Wanyan Loushi replied: "Although I have no name, I came out under the general's order to take your head. How can I retreat without fighting?"

Lieutenant General Zhongshi waved the silver halberd in his hand and shouted: "In front of the two armies, stop using your words. Do you dare to fight with me?"

Before Wanyan Loushi could answer, he had already annoyed Wanyan Huonv, the eldest son at the side, and shouted: "What's the matter with this old man? He dares to say such arrogant words, come and take my sword first!" After that, he slapped his horse and danced his sword to fight. In the division.

The two fought with swords and halberds for more than ten rounds. The master saw Wanyan Huonv's flaw and roared, stabbing her left arm with a halberd. Fortunately, her armor was thick and she was not seriously injured.The generals on the side suddenly saw this and immediately came to the rescue with their axes. Zhong Shizhong waved his halberd and fought hard against the two generals for more than fifty times without changing his expression. The two generals could not fight for a long time and their arms were heavy, so they retreated backwards.Zhong Shizhong waved his silver halberd, and the army covered them up. For a time, the Jin army was defeated like a mountain and retreated for more than thirty miles.The Zhong division thought that Yao Gu and Zhang Hao's troops had not yet arrived, and they were afraid that if they went deeper, they might be ambushed by the Jin army, so they returned to camp.

On the second day, Wanyan Loushi came to call for formation again, and Zhong Shi led his army to meet him. As he was charging, he was attacked from the left wing by Su Suhe and his troops. As a result, he was defeated. Wanyan Loushi led his army to pursue and kill him. Then each of them retreated their troops.

For several days in a row, the Song and Jin armies clashed five times, with the Zhong division winning three and losing two. After a bitter battle, they retreated to Shaxiong Ridge in Yuci County, where Wanyan Loushi pursued them and set up camp respectively.At this time, the army was facing an extremely difficult problem - there was no food in the army.

It turned out that when the Zhong division sent troops, in order to avoid criticism from Xu Han and others in the court, they gave up their food and baggage and packed lightly to aid Taiyuan. They thought that Yao Gu and Zhang Hao's troops would arrive soon, so they had only a few days of dry food.Several days have passed since this battle. The two armies have not been seen, but the dry food has been exhausted.As a last resort, the seed master had no choice but to order his soldiers to kill horses to satisfy their hunger.

The spies of the Jin Army found out about the situation and reported it to Wanyan Lou's room. After hearing this, Wanyan Lou's room laughed and said: "Within a few days, the army will definitely be defeated."

Wanyan Huonv asked: "Why did my father conclude that among the cultivators, he will lose?"

Wanyan Loushi said: "Killing horses to eat meat means there is no food in the army. Although the army is mature and prudent, brave and resourceful, and can be called a famous general, but there is no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside, the army is exhausted. Killing in the army It is a taboo for soldiers to eat horse meat. Why do you do it as a last resort? Therefore, it is said that it will be defeated!" The generals will understand.

So he ordered people to report his silver skills urgently and invite troops to come for reinforcements.Yin Shu can send a large army to attack the right army of the Zhong Division. At this time, the large army of the Zhong Division has been marching for days and fighting for several days. Flee.At this time, the front army could not resist Wanyan Loushi's army and fled in defeat.Only the remaining Zhong division led the guards to fight to the death at the foot of Killing Xiong Ridge. The Jin soldiers came to attack several times, but they were shot back with bows and arrows. The Jin soldiers suffered thousands of casualties, but the soldiers were weak and exhausted and could not help them, so they sent sergeants They all fled, leaving only a few hundred people under their command.

Seeing that Wanyan Loushi's army was attacking more and more fiercely and was about to encircle them, Huang You on the side advised: "Now the Jin army is powerful. If they are surrounded, they are afraid of being trapped here. Why don't you take the lead and charge with the dead soldiers? The general will break out of the encirclement immediately after him, and wait until he leaves here before making further calculations."

Zhong Shizhong looked at the hungry-faced guards around him and said with a wry smile: "I am a general. I led the army to rescue but was defeated so far. How dare I survive? You go quickly and don't provoke the thieves!" So he was forced to do so! Bracing himself, he raised his halberd and rode into the enemy formation, killing dozens of people in a row.

Huang You and other subordinates on the side burst into tears when they saw the general swearing to die. Huang You shouted: "The general died generously. How can we live alone after receiving his great kindness?" The guards on the side responded in unison, so Huang You Lead the remaining few hundred people into the enemy's formation to support the division.

At this time, the seed master was trapped in a tight siege, surrounded by four generals: Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Huonv, Wanyan Mouyan and Tusuhe, and they were massacred.Among the masters, they jumped on their horses and danced with their halberds, fighting against the four generals with no fear on their faces. However, it was a pity that they were short of food for days, hungry, and old and weak, so it was difficult to fight for a long time.

Wanyan Huonv was seen slashing with her sword. The master tried his best, but his hand weakened and the silver halberd fell to the ground.Seeing an opportunity, Wanyan Mouyan stabbed him in the left rib with a spear. Zhong Shizhong screamed in pain and wanted to draw his sword and fight again, but he was suddenly struck by an ax from behind and hit his shoulder and back. Wanyan Loushi stabbed him in the thigh with a spear, and then Wan Yan Huo Nu stabbed straight into her abdomen with a large knife.

The master was wounded four times in the body, and he was bleeding immediately. Wanyan Huonu pulled out her knife and slashed with it, knocking him off his horse.At this point, Zhong Shizhong died on the battlefield, and he was sixty-seven when he died.

It's a pity that the old general spent his whole life in the army, but because of the scholar's words, he was forced to live in a different place.It can be said that he has fought hundreds of battles and fought thousands of miles.The mountains are stained with blood and kill bears, but the heroes are left empty and mournful.

On the side, Huang You saw that the seed master was beheaded. He was inexplicably sad and angry. He shouted loudly and drew his gun to take Wanyan's daughter.Unfortunately, after fighting for several days, he had already exhausted his strength. After a few battles, Wanyan Huonv cut off one of his arms and fell from his horse.

The golden soldiers on the side held him, and Wanyan Huonu said: "I will pardon you if I surrender!"

Huang You said sternly: "If a man dies, he will die, so there is no need to say more!" So he was also beheaded.

The main generals were each beheaded, but the remaining guards still fought to the death, and were eventually covered up and killed by Wanyan Loushi's army.

But when Zhong Shizhong was fighting a bloody battle with the Jin army, Yao Gu and Zhang Hao's army were afraid because spies in the army falsely sent military news that Nianhan's army was approaching. They did not dare to help, so they missed the opportunity to fight. The [-]-strong army was destroyed in one blow.

"When I wrote this chapter, I wrote quite contradictory. Is it true that Zhongshi died unjustly? Of course it was unjust. If Xu Han hadn't urged the troops, he probably wouldn't have died at all. But was Xu Han a treacherous minister? Of course not, starting from his introduction, Zhongshi He is undoubtedly a rare loyal minister. However, the result of the cooperation of loyal ministers and good generals is a huge defeat. The reason is simply that laymen command experts. Xu Han, a scholar, does not understand military affairs. But after decades of fighting in the army, does he not know anything about military affairs? Of course it is impossible, and he has forgotten the principle that the emperor's orders will not be respected if the general is outside. Although there are some problems with the establishment of the Privy Council in the Northern Song Dynasty, but He himself only wanted to listen to the command of the Privy Council but refused to believe in his many years of experience and the advice of his subordinates. This only shows that he lacked confidence in the war itself and did not want to attribute the result of the defeat to himself, which felt like shirking responsibility. Therefore, I say that I am a loyal minister and will be a good general. Unfortunately, they were born at the wrong time and hindered each other. What can you do? Fortunately, the Yue Feidan I wrote will not be as foolish and loyal as the original Yue Shu. I look forward to his brilliant debut in the next volume. "
