The Xuanhe reign of the Song Dynasty was the last era title used by Emperor Huizong.
Twenty-year-old Li Qiong did something.
His family background was slightly better than that of people like Yue Fei, Wang Guitang Huai. After all, he was able to be sent to school, able to study, and successfully became a student.
If you can enter the Imperial College of Tokyo, you will be a real carp leaping over the dragon's gate, and you will already have the qualifications to become a master.
But he did not follow this path. Many people thought that he was Zongze who defected to the Jin army after they went south. In fact, before that, he took advantage of the Song Dynasty's recruitment policy and found more than a hundred people. The Jin people were the first to show their swords to the Song Dynasty court.
Then he was recruited into the army as he wished, and served Zongze earlier than Yue Fei... Yue Fei joined the army for the first time with Liu Ziyu's father Liu Kai, and the second time he joined the army with the former military commander of the Marshal's Mansion Liu Hao, the commander-in-chief of the Marshal's Mansion is Prince Kang, the Marshal of the Army, and Zongze is the deputy commander-in-chief.
After Li Gang resigned as prime minister, Zongze stayed behind in Kaifeng Mansion and became the de facto core of the anti-golden force. Yue Fei and Li Qiong, two natives of Xiangzhou, continued to work under him until his death in the second year of Jianyan. Before his death, one of them returned to Du Chong and the other to Liu Guangshi.
One continued to guerrilla in the north, and the other returned to the south and lived a stable life.
"Your Majesty has ascended a great treasure, and has the master of the country. He has made plans to defeat the enemy. King Qin's troops are gathering day by day, and they say that I am weak and should take advantage of their negligence. Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan cannot recover according to the holy will, and they are increasingly driven by chariots. To the south, we may not be able to reach the Central Plains. I hope that your Majesty will take advantage of the enemy's hole and lead the six armies to cross north. Then the soldiers will be strong and the Central Plains can be restored."
Li Qiong muttered such a passage, which seemed fine to others, but Wang Gui frowned a little.
"That's all in the past. What do you mean by bringing it up now?"
Li Qiong glanced at him with a sad expression:
"On the first day of May in the second year of Jingkang, King Zhao Gou of Kang came to the throne. He adopted Huang Qian's policy of avoiding war and moving south, and prepared for a southward patrol."
"Both Yue Pengju and I had low official positions, but after hearing the news, we couldn't sleep well, so he came to me and said, 'My dear brother is very talented, so why not write a letter to His Majesty to express our feelings? Everyone was moved by Mr. Huang’s words, but they may not be convinced by our words.”
"He is really a fool. What is your identity and what is your identity? A martial artist dares to act against a dignified prime minister. If this is not self-humiliation, what is it?!"
"So I rejected him. Yue Pengju was so stubborn that he wrote thousands of words to the officials. Finally, he got an eight-character comment saying, 'A minor minister has overstepped his duties and should not speak inappropriately.' He was dismissed from his military position and membership, and was expelled from the military camp. .”
"Fortunately, he is here..." Li Qiong smiled, "As long as you do the opposite of what he wants to do, it will be correct...at least the officials will like it."
"That's why I went from a Wu Yilang to a Yiwei doctor and an army general."
Wu Yilang is the lowest rank among military generals in the Song Dynasty, and Dr. Yiwei is the tenth rank among military generals. Nine counting from the top is the title of Lieutenant Zhang. Just as a military general, he is already considered prominent. Extremely.
"Pengju is doing everything, and the more he does, the more mistakes he makes. I don't do as well as him, but I get more rewards than him, much more."
"Is this fair? This isn't fair."
"But it's different now." Li Qiong asked Wang Shizhong to check the time. There was no light below the tunnel, and it was easy for people to forget the time. They knew it was already six o'clock, and more than an hour had passed since they came in. He It was as if he had made up his mind and said:
"Now the time is not waiting for me, otherwise Qiong will definitely treat a few good people to drink for a few days... Zhao Guan's family is bent on the Northern Expedition. This is not only fulfilling Marshal Zong's wish, but also fulfilling Qiong's wish. Li Qiong is a guilty minister and has nothing to do. The only thing we can do is to wipe out the Jin people in this city for the officials."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Jin Daizui next to him:
"I have ordered your wife and children to be sent out of the city to your hometown of Xuzhou. If you are willing to follow me, then follow me. If you are not willing to follow me, then go out of the city. After all, I am not a brother. I hope that in the end, there will still be some rift between us. In that case, even if we end up in the underworld, I will not be happy."
The same words were told to Wang Shizhong again. Both of them had just heard Li Qiong's decision... It was okay to surrender. After all, they rebelled from the Song Dynasty. If they go back now, it can be regarded as a way to make amends.
It’s okay to fight. They have already known about the Troop Transport Road. If the Song Army wants to take Bozhou, they must fight hard... A city with 40,000 defenders and 100,000 people is not as good as Taiyuan. , but it is by no means so easy to be broken.
But Li Qiong chose such a way to come out, not to surrender, but to do things to Zhao Guan's family, to do things, and to kill the people in the city. People's hearts are full of flesh. After operating here for several years, to be honest Damn it, the people in Bozhou City are just like their subjects, cattle, sheep, and pets, how can they do anything to them!
Jin Sai first knelt down, kowtowed to Li Qiong and said:
"The marshal treats me well, and the general knows it in his heart. Now that things have happened, I have nothing to say."
"I have never disobeyed your orders. It's just that today I really can't do it, but I can't live in hiding. That's not a man's behavior."
"I will join the brothers who are now on the city gate. No matter whether the outcome is death or alive, I will admit it."
Li Qiong helped him up: "No need to say more, when the big things in the city are completed, you can just surrender."
Then he looked at Wang Shizhong and said, "What about you?"
Wang Shizhong struggled and finally patted his chest:
"I have never studied, and I am not as talented as the marshal. Although I don't understand why the marshal massacred the people in the city, I recognize the truth. You have never missed anything you decided, and you have never harmed anyone. When we killed Lu Shangshu, I had already sold my life to you, and I didn’t take my own life seriously, so naturally I wouldn’t worry about the lives of others.”
"If you say a word, I will immediately pick up the knife and kill you."
Li Qiong nodded and said in a voice that everyone could hear:
"In that case, just watch here. Look at the few friends here. They are all useful people to the Song Dynasty. You must not wait for them."
"To avoid any mishaps, if Du Envoy Zhao and Du Envoy Yang want to force their way through this door, you will..."
He whispered a few words in Wang Shizhong's ear, and took half a step back:
"In this way, the stone wall door will fall straight down, and the silt river water will come out."
The last sentence was undoubtedly a threat, warning Zhao Mi and Yang Yizhong not to act recklessly... But in fact, even if he didn't say it, the two of them, including Wang De, were not fools. Li Qiong wanted to kill the people, etc. After he killed them, Bozhou was destroyed.
For them, this is actually a harmless thing. They do nothing and get a piece of credit for nothing. Even if they feel a little unbearable, they are not the ones who suffer after all, so they are no longer the same as before. Very urgent.
Human nature is such that it cannot be criticized harshly.
Li Qiong bowed his hands to everyone, and was about to leave. Wang Gui did not expect that this fellow countryman had become what he is now. This change was beyond his and Yue Fei's expectations. At the moment, he only knew what happened. Big, we have to make it clear to Zhao Guan’s family quickly.
Otherwise, no matter which way the hearts of the people who were massacred are, but they are now living in the Han Dynasty of the Central Plains, Yue Fei's soldiers have always regarded the people as important. These 100,000 people are not 100,000 animals. Qiong didn't talk about the massacre of the city, just that he killed ten or twenty thousand people...
During the Weiyang Incident, half of the people in Yangzhou were killed by the Jin soldiers, and the other half climbed the city wall in panic, and were trampled, thrown, and crushed to death.
Thinking of this, Wang Gui quickly followed him. Wang Shizhong saw that Li Qiong didn't stop him, so he let him go. There was also an old man who was just following Li Qiong, so Wang Shizhong didn't care. The fewer people here, the better. This is Saving his energy.
