Who is Wu Xin? At that time, he was useless and could not do anything except flattering. To let him lead the troops in the war was to praise him. If the Western Army had not been so successful in battle, he followed Zhan Guang into Beijing, and mistakenly He accidentally knocked into the door of Zhao Weixian's house, and he didn't have a chance to be alone!
Sometimes it’s troublesome to be alone!
If it weren't for the fact that the target of the fight this time was a Nong from Guangnan, he would rather jump off the Zifan Tower, get injured and lose his job, than come to fight!
I heard that the Nong people are so bad that they can't even defeat the South Vietnamese. They are so poor that they don't even have enough to eat, let alone fight!
He knows best what kind of Western Army team he leads. They are elites who crawled out of mass graves in the yellow sand. The iron army will not retreat in the face of the party's iron kites, but it can't deal with a few wild monkeys who don't even have swords?
It was such a fun day, with women playing and drinking, and there was no pressure along the way except for sending people sent by the court to speed up the progress!
The army has officially entered the territory of Guangnan. Many low hills have been raised from the flat ground, and one mountain surrounds the other, which makes people feel a little dizzy.
The drink last night did not affect Wu Xin's mood. It was normal for the army to have some discordant voices. For someone as powerful as Xia Song, there were people who dared to argue with him and have trouble with him. How could it be a big deal!
But those girls are so damn tough, their legs are so weak now!
Wu Xin rode the horse for a long time. When he got off the horse, his knees went weak and he almost fell to his knees. Fortunately, the groom who was holding the horse had good eyesight and supported him.
'General, be careful!
Wu Xin's mood immediately deteriorated. He threw away the groom and asked someone to tell me: "Call Sun Jie!"
Sun Jie rushed over in a hurry, maybe because of his hangover, he was unsteady on his feet and almost fell to his knees!
'What's the matter with you kid? You're still challenging others like this? Now, we have entered Guangnan. This time, I will let you be the vanguard and go find out for me what the situation is like among the people!
Sun Jie's face turned green when he heard this. He wanted to turn down this hard job, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He looked embarrassed!
Back then, Wu Xin also climbed up from the bottom. Of course he knew how heavy the burden of the vanguard was. If he didn't fight well, the morale of the entire army would be damaged. If he didn't die in the hands of the enemy, he would be chopped up by his own people. If he didn't have any skills, he really couldn't be a vanguard. !
'Why are you looking at me like this with a bald melon hanging on your face? Come on, come back tonight and let's go together again. Don't let the brothers wait too long!
Sun Jie looked at Wu Xin messily in the wind. He couldn't believe that this guy was serious. He really wanted him to be a pioneer!
Brother, mother, I thank you and your whole family!
Sun Jie cursed and led the people away. In this southern expedition, Wu Xin brought 30,000 horses, including 300 fine cavalry, which were Di Qing's Guanjing cavalry. This army was still the direct line of Di Qing's army. This time, too, When he went out with the army, Wu Xin allocated 5,000 infantry to Sun Jie, allowing him to go ahead and clear the way, so that he could find out more information!
Sun Jie looked as sad as his dead father.
Wu Xin knew it and felt a little sorry for him. Who asked the boss to explain to this boy? He must be given a chance to perform!
This group of people had all been given instructions before they went on the expedition, but it all depended on how big or small the leader's favor was and how good the benefits were. Wu Xinxin had a steelyard in his mind, and after weighing it, someone would naturally have to do the dirty work. .
He originally thought about arranging for Di Qing to be stabbed, but after thinking about it, if this kid wins the first prize, wouldn't it be a mess? It won't be too late to let him do it when the strong bones appear!
Wu Xin also saw Sun Jie's face. He put his right hand around Sun Jie's back and said to him: "Others have fought for this opportunity with me several times. I really gave it to you for the sake of the British father. You If I don’t want to go there, I can’t communicate with the British father-in-law. We are brothers. You go to the front and have a look first. Brother, I found a few beautiful and juicy girls from the mountains. They are so tender that you can pinch water. Come back in the evening. Brother, be good. I'll make it up to you and let the girls relax for you!
The British Duke is Wang De and his father, who is also an old soldier.
He was born as a son, and Sun Jie was related to him. He originally wanted Wu Xin to take care of him and not take risks, but he didn't expect that Wu Xin would make the mistake and throw him into the most important vanguard!
Sun Jie wanted to explain a few more words, but Wu Xin didn't give him a chance and pushed him away.
How could Wu Xin not understand what the British Duke meant, but Sun Jie's favor was the smallest, so who would if he didn't do this dirty talk!
Wu Xin suppressed the army and prepared to wait for news from Sun Jie. He had already asked the cooks to start preparing for the banquet in the evening.
Along the way, officials and people from various states, in the name of rewarding the Imperial Army, frantically sent wine, meat, and even money to the army!
These people want nothing more than to send away this plague god! As long as the imperial troops don't enter the city or station there, they won't cause trouble!
Otherwise, if the people of the Imperial Guard are let go and grab some of the people's things in the local area, the harm to the people will be immeasurable!
Many officials inquired about Wu Xin's official style and favored him. Wu Xin tasted the sweetness and naturally he accepted all comers!
When the war starts, I won't have the chance to enjoy it anymore. If I don't have a good time, I'm really sorry that I have to travel thousands of miles!
That night, Wu Xin was immersed in drunkenness and dreams again. He saw Sun Jie crashing in as if he had lost his soul. Everyone was frightened when they saw Sun Jie's bear-like appearance.
'What's going on here!
I heard Sun Jie kneeling on the ground with one knee, clasping his fists and facing Wu Xin: "The last general deserves to die. The front army encountered a bandit army. The bandit force was huge. Our army sought a battle but failed to win. They returned in defeat, which dampened the spirit of our army. Please return." The general punishes the crime!
What!
Everyone stood up. The girl in the arms of Yu Jing and others stood up wisely and exited the military tent.
'Call Di Qing over here, we have something to discuss!
Di Qing knew that these people would be drunk again at night, so he simply didn't participate. Unexpectedly, Wu Xin came to invite him again, saying that he had something important to discuss. During the day, Sun Jie had just left the battle, and something important happened at night. A bad premonition came over him. It's on my mind!
When something happens in the army, everyone must be present. Otherwise, when the military order is not smooth, there will be an explanation.
'Di Qing, sit down!
Di Qing looked at Sun Jie who was kneeling on the ground. He had completely lost the majesty of yesterday. He glanced at the wine on the table and sat down without saying anything.
His face is already cold, and his silence makes him even more oppressive!
'Sun Jie, please tell me carefully, what happened!
Sun Jie tilted his head in annoyance and sighed: "Nong Zhigao went down the Yujiang River and occupied Yongzhou first. He recruited troops and horses in Yongzhou. The thieves are now fierce." .
'How many men and horses are there? Yu Jing asked anxiously!
'The thieves are said to number sixty thousand!
What!
Everyone's heads buzzed loudly. Didn't the information they originally received say that there were only five thousand? When they came back from South Vietnam, when did it become sixty thousand? Their imperial army only has 30,000 people. The enemy is strong and we are weak. How can we fight!
We can’t blame the imperial court for lagging behind in intelligence! Sending an express letter from Guangnan to Bianjing would take about ten days at the fastest. After the war broke out, the court did not expect Nong Zhigao to have a place to recruit people. They thought that five thousand was already the limit and did not go any further. To investigate in this area, when Wu Xin was sent south, he found out that the Nong people were also frantically expanding their strength!
'Where did you get the information? How is it possible!
'The general doesn't believe it either, but everyone in Guangnan knows that Nong Zhigao is no longer the leader of the Nong people. Most of the 60,000 people are Han. General, please go to the court for help. It's not that the Nong people are rebelling, but in fact they are Han people. Rebellion!
When the others heard this, they all agreed, "How can we fight with a small number of people? The Song Army has always won with numbers!"
'What else do you know, say it again!
Wu Xin broke into a cold sweat and was so frightened that he had woken up from drinking.
He thought he was here to reap benefits, but the situation was beyond his control!
'After Nong Zhigao defeated Yongzhou, he cut off all land and water transportation in Yongzhou. Now no one in Guangnan can escape. If he doesn't join forces with him, he will be regarded as an alien and will be killed directly. All the people in Mandong in Guangnan When the chieftain heard about it, some of them rebelled with him!
If it was just Nong Zhigao, things would be easy to handle, but if all the toasts messed up, it would be troublesome!
'Hasn't Yongzhou been burned to ashes? What's the benefit of occupying it?
Wu Xin asked in confusion.
Sun Jie couldn't tell. Di Qing said at this time: "It's true that Yongzhou is in ashes, but the location of Yongzhou is still the lifeline of the throat, and it can cut off all routes from the imperial court to Guangyuan." It can be said that if you want to conquer Guangyuan, you must first conquer Yongzhou. Besides, the Han people there are the largest in Guangyuan. The South Vietnamese conquered Yongzhou and countless people became refugees. They were bewitched by Nong Zhigao. This must be the reason why thieves and soldiers were able to conquer. There will be so many!
Di Qing's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and several people present immediately looked at Di Qing with admiration!
Sun Jie glared at Di Qing resentfully and continued: "After occupying Yongzhou, Nong Zhigao sent people north to break through Hengshan Stronghold, and obtained countless money, food and weapons from it, which made the momentum even greater!"
Hengshan Village is the largest horse market in Guangnan, and the largest place set up by the imperial court to buy and sell war horses.
Although the city was almost completely destroyed by Ma Jin's escorts before, Jiang Yunji did his duty and immediately reported to the court for reconstruction, and transported countless amounts of food and equipment to strengthen the defense of Hengshan Village!
Unexpectedly, Nong Zhigao was still able to break through this!
The weakest point of Nong Zhigao's Guangyuan Army is food and equipment! This time he won Hengshan Village, which greatly improved his strength and gave him the confidence to fight against the Song Dynasty!
'Where's Jiang Yunji? He didn't hold on?
Sun Jie scolded: "Old Jiang has died long ago!" If he can hold back the rebel army, we may be able to fight for a while this time!
Even Jiang Yunji is dead! This man still has a good reputation in the court. He has an upright character and speaks his mind. He also has an official reputation in his office. I didn't expect that even he can't defend the enemy!
'Speak further, speak quickly! Wu Xin couldn't sit still anymore, he didn't expect things to be like this!
