Chapter 629 Zeguo Jiangshan enters the battle map ([-])

To the east of Bianliang, near Qi County, the small village has recently become lively.

Most of the residents who used to live in this neighborhood have moved away. The reason for the excitement is that the troops of King Qin from all walks of life have arrived one after another. Headed by Wu Ruiying, an army of more than 6 people has gathered near Qi County.

Even if the army has more than [-] people, it is a complete ecosystem. When it reaches tens of thousands, it will be a big test for the commander to control the army.

Now that the Jurchen army is approaching the city, and the battle is imminent, the management of the army is naturally much stricter than usual.However, several large armies gathered around here. The three armies of Wuwei, Wusheng, and Wurui belonged to different senior members of the army. Besides the three armies, 3 people from the Wujie Battalion came from the west. The forbidden troops with independent titles such as Pengri, Tianwu, Longwu, etc. have all withdrawn to the capital, as well as some small-scale imperial forces from various places, plus various King Qin troops from all directions, all gathered here. Whose order to listen to, who to ask for logistics, and where to live have all become turbulent things.

The army organization of the Wu Dynasty was a bit chaotic. This time the army gathered together, and each army's economical appeasement envoys were actually at the same level. This time they gathered together, the various armies could not control each other.Several people who are the highest officials, such as He Chengzhong of Wuwei Camp from the Tongguan family, Liang Zhongshu from the Cai Jing family, and Huo Jue from the Wurui Camp from the Youxiang family, discuss together every day how to fight, but no one dares to deal with it lightly. The Jurchen launched an attack, and after several armies approached, they had countless frictions with each other for logistics.

In the capital, Tong Guan is actually the most prestigious and capable leader of the war this time—even though he is not highly regarded in later generations, he is indeed still the first military officer of the Wu Dynasty at this time.But when the Jurchen went south, the situation in the capital was changing and complicated. Tong Guan fled from Taiyuan, and there was something wrong with it. After returning to the capital, Zhou Zhe felt a bit grudged, and he shrank himself.

It is also for this reason that only Li Gang, the left prime minister who is upright by nature, stood up when the chief executive of the defense war was elected.The country was dark and the generals were incompetent. Li Gang complained a lot about this. It is said that no one dared to stand up in the court, so the old prime minister had no choice but to say: "If the sage is not afraid of using civil servants to handle martial arts, the ministers are willing to do it." To Tong Guan and others, it was a slap in the face.However, the Wu Dynasty originally had civil servants in charge of the military, Tong Guan bowed his head and said nothing, Zhou Zhe caught the strong man, and happily threw the hot potato out.

After Li Gang took over, he was probably a little annoyed. In order to fill the river, he demolished all the gardens of Cai Jing's house.In fact, although he has been the left chancellor for a few years, he has been involved in many affairs and controlled by others. The real most powerful people in the court are always Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng and others.The old prime minister was upright and hot-tempered, not as flexible as Qin Yuyuan, the right minister, but this time the Manchu dynasty was in danger, and he vented his anger and slapped Cai Jing in the face, so no one dared to speak out against him.

Of course, these things are only known to the high-level officials in Beijing.Although Li Gang is now the highest commander and guards the capital tightly, it is not easy for the few large armies outside the city to be able to control them freely.Under such circumstances, when three hundred and five hundred of the various King Qin troops scattered outside the city—including some bandits who had been recruited before—gathered over, who should listen to the command and who should eat with them? A troublesome thing.

It is also because of this that 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, all kinds of small barracks were in a mess, noisy voices, occasional frictions, daily quarrels over military supplies and fodder, plus various small battle reports and wounded.It's not that the reorganized armies don't want more people, but the efficiency of the various reorganizations is too low, and the complicated system of the Wu Dynasty is still there. It all became tense and messy.

The more than 300 people led by Yue Fei were originally stationed near their hometown Tangyin. The Jurchens 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 heard the news of Master's death, he led more than 300 people to chase after him. When he arrived near Bianliang, he didn't know which army to join.

Fortunately, although he has a loyal personality, he is not a person without schemes. 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 when he arrived near Qi County, he saw the people in Zhuji and came all the way to look for Ning Yi.

Zhuji gathered a total of 200 people here, occupying a large courtyard near Wuruiying.Yue Fei inquired for a while, and the stragglers who gathered around only knew that the courtyard was full of people coming and going every day, and it was extremely lively. Sometimes some officials would come in and out, but no one knew what was going on inside. Some people guessed that they were in charge of helping The imperial court transported logistics and fodder, but after Yue Fei informed him to enter the door, he only heard someone yelling.

"...Huangkou boy, I don't know the seriousness. How many people's life and death are at stake here. How can you and other villains take the opportunity to tell the right and wrong of power! How many people died in Chenghuangpo, and how many people died in the Yuangang area! This officer will not let the people under my rule go to die! They stay in the city and stand on the wall to defend, at least 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, as I said, you misunderstood. The people in Zhuji just coordinated the evacuation in the name of the court because they were familiar with the surrounding roads. My people will coordinate the timing and route for you. Whether you do it or not, how can you do it in the next Caomin?" Forcing you..."

"You sophistry!" The man cut off the other party's words, "Ning Liheng, you think I don't know that although I, Yu Wenfeng, am a county magistrate, I am not a person without background. With the support of the Prime Minister's House, you are all in the middle of coordinating the affairs outside this time. Although you, the person in Zhuji, put down his things and left, but as soon as I said no, I came to the official document that afternoon. You don't know what happened to Yu The war is imminent, you are doing such absurd things around, thanks to you are also a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, I am not afraid that the dead under the nine springs will not let you go—”

"Come here, send Master Yu away. Master 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. When the affairs here are over, I will personally come to the door to apologize..."

"A real man is upright, Ning Liheng, do you dare to do it but dare not say it, don't you dare to confront me—"

Amidst the noise, the sound of barbaric seeing off guests was heard. An official was pushed out. At this time, the crowd in the courtyard was coming and going. Ning Yi also came out from the door over there, followed by a few people, and Yue Fei was about to go up. The sound of galloping horses stopped outside the courtyard, and a man with light kung fu rushed in and whispered something in front of Ning Yi.Yue Fei is highly skilled in martial arts, and vaguely heard that there are more than [-] 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 matter is troublesome You lead a team, as long as there is food, you must go..."

The person next to him who he called Brother Yong was Qi Xinyong with the soul-stripping spear. Yue Fei also had a relationship with him in Jiangning back then, and he left after seeing him hand in hand.Ning Yicai finally walked quickly towards Yue Fei: "Brother Yue Family, 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. He helped save Su's family in Jiangning, and later met and chatted twice. Ning Yi regarded him as a "benefactor". Teaching, at that time, it was just to chase the bandits, so I didn't think it was a big deal.This time, he didn't want people to think that he was asking for a favor in return.

And at the beginning in Jiangning, although the two fought side by side for a short time, Yue Fei later found out that the scholar had a ruthless heart. After the Miemen incident, he chased and killed half of the people in Liangshan. .He listened to the county magistrate's scolding just now, and now he subconsciously kept some distance from Ning Yi.

Seeing Yue Fei came here at this time, Ning Yi naturally knew the reason, and soon after, he found Qin Shaoqian and introduced him.At this time, Yue Fei was unknown, but Qin Shaoqian was a general in the army. He was blind in one eye when he attacked the Jurchen army in Shouzhang, and he was very domineering and murderous.Yue Fei only thought that Ning Yi was trying to make connections for him. Ning Yi told Qin Shaoqian that this young general should be very good at fighting, and Qin Shaoqian only thought it was a compliment.Afterwards, people organized more than 300 people under Yue Fei's subordinates into the army to provide food and supplies, and then arranged these 300 people with Zhu Ji, and temporarily listened to Ning Yi's command and deployment.

Yue Fei's appointment at the beginning was because of Ning Yi's relationship with him, and this time he is so enthusiastic again.From Qin Shaoqian's point of view, either it is to repay Jiang Ning's favor, or he feels that this young general has potential. In his opinion, the small military officer of the Three Hundred Xiang Army, running errands under Ning Yi, a staff member of the prime minister's mansion, is not a matter of loss.Moreover, although everyone is not sure about the necessity of what Ning Yi is doing at this time, but the mobilization of millions of civilians near the capital is really very labor-intensive.

One of the biggest reasons for Yue Fei to go south was because of the sacrifice of his master Zhou Tong. Who knew that he was assigned to a group of businessmen who didn't know what to do as guards, and he was somewhat resentful.But he has been in the army for several years, and he also understands some things in the army and the officialdom, so naturally he will not do anything out of the ordinary.Moreover, during the current period of time, more than [-] people gathered, and it was just a small-scale fierce friction. Everyone was confronting each other and stood still. The situation made him, a middle- and lower-level officer, quite confused.

As usual, the Jurchens have been beaten to the bottom of the capital. There are more than 10 troops gathered here, plus nearly [-] people in the city. Everyone would want to drive the Jurchens away as soon as possible. How could everyone live in a noisy place? Here it is.

Although he couldn't understand Ning Yi, Ning Yi didn't want to neglect him. Although he was busy every day, he would go to say hello and chat with him for a while.When the other party asked, Ning Yi knew that the situation inside and outside the capital was not peaceful during this time, but after thinking about it, he could only say: "I'm busy negotiating."

Beijing and Beijing are indeed busy with negotiations right now.

In Bianliang City, after an initial round of onslaught, the Jurchens sent people to send them peace talks. There are four conditions for the peace talks:

500. The warriors compensate the Jin Kingdom for military expenses, 5000 million taels of gold, [-] million taels of silver, [-] cattle and horses, and millions of silks and satins.

[-]. Zhou Zhe respects Wu Qimai as his uncle.

[-]. Ceded Zhongshan, Taiyuan, and Hejian.

[-]. Take the prince and prime minister as hostages to escort the Jurchen army northward and return home.

Theoretically speaking, the war has not yet been fought, and the sum of these four points basically has nothing to talk about for a country.But at least according to Ning Yi's information, in the capital at this time, Zhou Zhe supported Li Gang's strict defense with great "courage" on the one hand, and on the other hand, everyone is really discussing the matter of seeking peace. They met two people and went to the Jurchen military camp to discuss the peace talks.

"In the capital, I heard that there is already a lot of noise." When the sun was setting, Ning Yi looked at the busy huge camp and sighed with Yue Fei.He also had no way to say too much. In the capital, the emperor gave Li Gang the responsibility of defending the city and leading the battle. In the blink of an eye, he was negotiating peace again. Li Gang had already yelled at the Golden Luan Hall several times. Words such as how to face those who are fighting in the front have already been scolded, but everyone only mentioned Jiangshan Sheji, and most of them bypassed the current restricted area.

Zhou Zhe didn't mention it, but only appeased Li Gang: "I want to fight, my family and country are like this, the crime is my fault, but the prime minister, for the sake of the community, the soldiers only need to think about fighting, but I have to make two plans."

Even if the effort fails, Li Gang also asked him to come forward to negotiate with the Jurchens.But Zhou Zhe was aware of the details and did not agree, and finally let Li Di, who was more flexible and stretchable, go.

Qin Yuyuan didn't speak in the midst of this.

Qin Shaohe has guarded Taiyuan for a month, and now the news from both sides has been cut off, and the current situation is unknown, although Qin Yuyuan will never bring this kind of reason for his son to fight in the front to the court—but that is Everyone can't mention the restricted area.

After all, the person who is going to sell in the back is already fighting in the front to the point of life or death...

A few days later, with an edict, Qin Yuyuan dismissed as Prime Minister.
