Looking at Zhao Bin who was pushed up, Wang Xiaolian said: "The general came to Tongzhou with lofty ambitions. He has always said that when I attack Taiyuan in the fall, you can cross the river from Tongzhou and hit my back, and achieve great achievements. My I was impatient and couldn’t wait that long, so I came early.”
Zhao Bin looked gloomy, lowered his head and said nothing.
Looking at Zhao Bin, Shao Xing said sharply: "You are a defeated general, why don't you kneel down?"
Before Zhao Bin could speak, Wang Xiaolie waved his hand and said: "There is no need to kneel. My army has never allowed kneeling, even for defeated generals. We are all raised by our parents, a spiritual creature created by heaven and earth. Why do you need to kneel down and worship others?”
Zhao Bin raised his head and glanced at Wang Xiaolie, with his nostrils pointing upward, he let out a "hum".
Wang Xiaolie shook his head. Said: "When facing the Jin Army, if you had the integrity you have today, why would you be like this! After the Battle of Fuping, the Jin Army occupied Shaanxi Fifth Road in less than half a year without a single blow. Without you, how could it have gone so smoothly? Guo Hu, the eighth deputy general of Jingyuan Road, would rather die than surrender the gold. The first deputy general Zhu Yougong, facing the high salary promised by the Jin army, still cursed Zhang Zhongfu, the surrendered general, and was finally killed. Wang Qi was a little During the inspection of Gongmen Village, everyone around me bowed to the Jin Army's surrender banner, but they still remained unyielding. Facing these people, how do you have the face to live in this world? You lost the battle today, and you still have to pretend in front of me! Straight lady thief, I don’t have that much to ask you! Push him out and behead him! Hang his head at the city gate for three days!"
Zhao Bin was shocked when he heard this. I wanted to say something in a hurry. Wang Xiaolie just waved his hand and said: "Push it out! Kill it!"
The soldier agreed, stepped forward, held Zhao Bin's arm, and pushed him out.
There was silence for a while. Wang Xiaolie said to the generals: "I don't have a good temper when it comes to surrendering generals. How many Jurchens are there? Today's mountains and rivers are shattered. How big a role do these surrendering generals play? Don't say that the situation forces us to surrender. No. There are too many surrenders! In future battles, all treasonous generals will surrender to us as soon as possible. If you dare to resist to the end, you will receive this knife!"
All the generals made a promise together.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Some of these surrendered generals occupy key places, and some hold heavy troops. They are not ordinary people. Just like Zhao Bin, he looks inconspicuous, but I will not kill him today. I will let him issue orders and let his colleagues Surrendering under the prefecture can save a lot of time. But why should I save that time? During the Jingkang period, my father rebelled and went to Kaifeng Prefecture to serve the king. What was it for? From Luchen in Shenzhou, to the south from Yongjia, to places like Shaanxi, Hedong, and Hebei, They fell into the hands of foreigners many times. Many generals who led troops learned from historical experience and surrendered to foreigners once the war did not go well. In many cases, doing so became a common thing, and there were many people who excused and explained these people. Is there any explanation? When your country is ruined and your family is in ruins, if you are afraid of death, don’t be a soldier. Even if you escape to the deep mountains and old forests or abroad, you can live a peaceful life and no one will say anything to you! You can’t do anything Hold heavy troops and defend key areas. When the enemy comes, surrender them! If you lower the flag in one fell swoop, countless people behind you will be ravaged by the enemy! So, if you raise the flag and lower the flag, be prepared to take this life-threatening steel knife!"
Seeing Wang Xiaolie's serious expression, all the generals said yes together.
Wang Xiaolie said to Shao Xing: "Deploy manpower and immediately go north to occupy the four counties of Baishui, Chengcheng, Heyang and Hancheng under Tongzhou. After the occupation, there is no need to send more soldiers to defend the city. I want to see, there is no Jin army , which general would dare to reach out to me again!"
Shao Xing frowned, crossed his hands and said yes.
Wang Xiaolie said to Li Lianda: "Not many of those who escaped from Tongzhou City today will be able to cross the Luo River. You arrange your troops and capture the surrendered soldiers under your control! Surrendering soldiers is not surrendering generals. Many times they have no choice. . All the surrendered soldiers in this battle who are willing to serve as soldiers in our army will be sent back to the rear camp. Those who are not willing to serve as soldiers will be given some travel expenses and let them go home. Those who cannot return home will be sent to the rear camp. Tian Si goes."
Li Lian crossed his arms and promised.
Wang Ruohai said: "Xuanfu, if we get deserters who don't want to join our army, we should send them all back to the Camp and Field Department. If we give them money to go home, I'm afraid it will only increase the enemy's manpower. If you want to go home, , it would be better if we restore Shaanxi in a few years."
Wang Xiaolie thought for a while. Said: "Okay, send them all back to the Yingtian Division. However, I have to instruct the Yingtian Division not to treat these people differently, just treat them as ordinary refugees. In the army, soldiers have no right to choose. They can go home if they want. It’s no wonder they can’t escape.”
Li Lian crossed his arms and promised.
Just gave the order, Wang Xiaolie said: "Today is a great victory, the soldiers who are not on duty should celebrate well. Zhao Bin is living a happy life in Tongzhou. Distribute the captured wine and meat to the soldiers, and have a good time today Disperse!"
Hearing that Wang Xiao had captured Tongzhou, Zhang Zhongfu hurriedly gathered his troops and headed for Huazhou. In the past, I believed Wang Xiaolie's words and thought that his intention was east of the river. Zhang Zhongfu did not deploy troops and horses on the bank of the Yellow River. Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaolie suddenly crossed the Yellow River and occupied Tongzhou.
This is incredible. Zhang Zhongfu only had more than 20,000 troops in Jingzhao Mansion. How could he stop Wang Xiaolie's army? Going south from Tongzhou, crossing the Luohe River and the Weihe River is Huazhou, and then facing the Guanzhong Plain. If he cannot hold Huazhou City, it will be difficult for Zhang Zhongfu to gain a foothold.
When we walked to Weinan, it was almost evening, so we rested in the government office. After lunch, I took out the book and read leisurely under the lamp.
Suddenly Zhang Xi came in hurriedly and saluted Zhang Zhongfu.
Putting down the book, Zhang Zhongfu said: "It's already late at night, why don't Jiyi take a rest? But there is something important?"
Zhang Xi cupped his hands and said, "I just heard some news from my humble position. I thought it was not a trivial matter, so I hurriedly came to report the situation."
"Oh, what's the matter?" After hearing this, Zhang Zhongfu turned around and looked at Zhang Xi.
Zhang Xi said: "Some people from Tongzhou came and talked about Wang Xiao's hunt for Tongzhou. I think it has a lot to do with Jinglue."
Zhang Zhongfu became interested and said, "Tell me in detail."
Zhang Xidao: "According to people from Tongzhou, Wang Xiaoxue crossed the Yellow River at night and traveled fifty miles overnight. He also broke through the imperial court on the way and arrived outside the city of Tongzhou in the morning. There was a sharp weapon in Wang Jiaxie's army called a cannon. . Although this object is similar to a stone cannon, it is much more powerful than a stone cannon. In less than an hour, Wang Xiaolie's army broke through the city wall of Tongzhou. Once the city wall is broken, how can Zhao Bin defend it? "
Zhang Zhongfu nodded and said in deep thought: "I heard people talk about the Shaanzhou war, and they also talked about the powerful artillery in Wang Xiao's hunting army. It seems that this thing is a sharp weapon for attacking cities, and it is not easy to defend Huazhou. After the Shaanzhou battle, , the fourth prince did not dare to be in Shaanxi, for fear that Wang Xiao would hunt him and surround him, so he asked me to come to Jingzhao Mansion, but he would harm me!"
Zhang Xidao: "The most important thing is not this matter, but what Wang Xiaolie did after he occupied Tongzhou."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhongfu hurriedly said: "Tell me in detail? Did he send troops south?"
Zhang Xidao: "I heard that Wang Xiaolie only sent troops to occupy the counties under Tongzhou. And there were not many troops. There were only one or two hundred people stationed in each county. Wang Xiaolie and his army were all in Tongzhou City, and there was no movement. . I heard that Wang Xiaolie said that he will stay in Tongzhou for ten days to see who dares to attack Tongzhou. Whoever dares to reach out will be destroyed! "
"Oh——" After hearing this, Zhang Zhongfu stood up and walked around the study.
