An hour has arrived.
Zheng Fan, who was about to give the order, suddenly thought of a question.
This question is still very critical and fatal.
That is, Marquis Jingnan has arranged everything, but will there be any deviations when arranging himself?
For example,
The reason why he gave himself the task of penetrating into the Jin Palace was because he took a fancy to his record of leading troops to raid Mianzhou City twice, but the problem Yes, it was Liang Cheng who led the troops on both occasions.
At this thought,
Zheng Fan’s hands suddenly trembled.
Anyone who cheats or takes the back door to get to the top is fine on weekdays, but when he really encounters When something happened, I started to panic.
Take a deep breath,
Don’t panic when encountering anything,
If it doesn’t work, just keep your head down, raise the knife, and shout "Ula!" That's it.
Because now, there is no choice anyway.
"Jin Kingdom Palace, charge!"
Zheng Fan mobilized his war horse, followed by three hundred Jingnan Army knights, like a sharp blade, it was completely The heart of Jin's capital city was in panic.
On the way back, Situ Jiangong took away thousands of the Situ family’s elite cavalry. Firstly, there was no need to keep them anymore. Secondly, the land in Gyeonggi was originally reserved for the Yu family from the Dacheng Kingdom. It is not very convenient for him to lead his troops to garrison.
It is precisely because of this that it directly led to the emptiness of the Gyeonggi land at this time.
The few defeated soldiers who were gathered together at the beginning got drunk and vented their anger after returning to the camp. These defeated soldiers still had the courage to fight on the battlefield, and Yu Huacheng's level of training soldiers and horses was not bad. , but the problem is that the psychological state and mental outlook of the defeated soldiers cannot be changed overnight. For them who have just experienced a defeat not long ago, once they are free, drinking and visiting the brothels is the best way to numb themselves.
For this reason, almost half of the soldiers inside the broken soldiers camp on the school grounds were dispersed. Although the remaining half were in the camp, they were drinking and gambling.
The pro-army army was even worse. After returning, except for a thousand cavalry patrolling the periphery, and Yu Huacheng personally leading a thousand soldiers into the palace, the remaining troops all returned to their respective homes. Looking for each mother.
Originally, the number of Jin troops in the capital was the same as when they were outside Wubao during the day. Even if the Situ family's soldiers and horses were excluded, they were several times as many as the five thousand Yan troops.
However, now, in contrast to the established system, the Yan people actually have an absolute advantage.
In the final analysis, it is not because Yu Huacheng is not good at it. He is able to achieve the position of commander-in-chief of the Gyeonggi Pro-Army, not only because of his friendship with the Jin Emperor, but also because he has a good reputation. ability.
But the real reason is that the capital is too small. It is more like a barbarian royal court than a country within a country.
However, even though the Royal Court has declined, it still maintains a certain influence on the desert.power, and still has its own large pastures, while the land of Jin's capital is just a simple "city state".
Perhaps, after surrendering to the Dacheng Kingdom, as a frontline against Yan, the Gyeonggi area can become a new "Beifeng County" with the funding of Dacheng in the future, but now, it is not possible. .
The Yan Army cavalry was divided into many units, attacking their respective targets, setting fires and killing people. For a time, they created a terrifying momentum that was no less powerful than tens of thousands of cavalry rolling in.
In this case, the Jin army collapsed directly, and it was impossible not to collapse, because after they returned from the expedition, there was no longer any notion of being organized or not.
The enemy has already arrived at your door, so why don’t you call the soldiers out from door to door to form a formation?
Shout those drunken soldiers from the camp in the school field to fight the enemy?
Or you can go to a place like the Red Tent and pull those Qiu Ba off Sister Yao one by one.
Even if they are really pulled off,
you If you give him a knife, will he still have the strength to lift it?
In this part, Zheng Fan did not do anything else, but just focused on marching towards the Jin Palace. Because he deliberately delayed it for an hour, when Zheng Fan came in, the chaos in the capital was... The image has already appeared.
This is enough to show that Jingnanhou has already grasped the current situation of this area. Five thousand cavalry are indeed enough to level the area directly.
This is the art of war.
…………
There is a street on the east side of the Jin Palace. An unknown number of years ago, this place was extremely noisy and lively.
The courtiers who went to court in the morning were waiting for the palace gate to open. Those with high official ranks wanted to pay attention to their image, so they sent their servants to buy breakfast and eat it in sedan chairs; those with lower official ranks were also in court. The last one didn't have any worries, he just sat in the shop and got something to eat.
Master Sword Master is still wearing a white shirt, sitting in this old soup cake shop.
In front of him, there was a large bowl of soup made from big bones and two pieces of pancakes.
An old man walked slowly on a crutch, holding a large handful of green onions in his hand, and threw them into the soup bowl.
“In the early years, the officials who only had sesame and mung beans liked to go to the soup cake shop to eat this before going to court. The chopped green onions had to be added vigorously. Without this, the soup would be If it doesn't taste good, it doesn't smell good.
If you're in a good mood and warm up half a pot of wine, it won't be as good as the fine wine from Ganguowuchuan, but the taste is still good. Half a pot of wine and two bowls of soup. Two pieces of pancake, it’s a very comfortable meal.
Anyway, I’m at the end of the queue, so I don’t have to worry about the breath coming from my mouth, haha.”
The old man said as he sat down in front of Lord Sword Master.
What he said was already sixty years ago. At that time, the structure of the three major families had been established, but the heads of the families were still serving in the capital, and the Jin Dynasty court was stillIt looked like a royal court, unlike now.
Master Sword Master stirred the green onions with chopsticks and blew on them, but he was not in a hurry to drink. Instead, he looked at the old man and said:
"Every time I go out, For a long time, I just thought about this."
"That's right."
The old man smiled proudly, showing his big yellow teeth.
This street has been deserted for many years, but the old man has always guarded this shop.
“I don’t know how long I can drink this soup.”
Hearing this, the old man immediately said:
“No matter how things outside change, , As long as there is still a royal palace in the courtyard opposite ours, and His Majesty still lives there, our soup cake shop will continue to open."
The old man subconsciously wanted to tell the story of his ancestors on the street a hundred years ago. The story of selling soup cakes on the surface was admired by His Majesty who was visiting incognito.
But suddenly he remembered that he had told this story to the person in front of him no less than twenty times, so he immediately stopped talking. , and turned to reveal a reserved smile.
The Sword Master nodded and did not tell the old man that it won’t be long before there will no longer be His Majesty in this palace. This palace will most likely be converted into a palace, although the people who live in it will not be there anymore. The surname is Yu, but it is not the same as before.
"My sons are back today. It has been a long time since we, the emperor, have really taken action."
The old man expressed his own emotion.
Master Sword Master drank the soup and did not reply.
The people in the capital of the Jin Kingdom are different from the people near the capital in other countries. In other countries, the people in the capital are often a group of people with the most comfortable living conditions. At the same time, they also have a sense of imperial power. The arrogance of Chenggen people.
However, the pattern of the three Jin families being divided into Jin has been around for so long that the backbone of the people in Gyeonggi can no longer be straightened. Therefore, in many cases, it is not so much that the pro-Kinggi troops are still loyal to Jin. Emperor, it is better to say that the people of Gyeonggi instinctively hugged the Emperor of Jin to keep warm.
The old man has been boiling soup and making pancakes for a lifetime. His whole life has been firmly bound to this soup pancake shop. He has seen its prosperity and is here at this time. Savoring its trough, the old man always thought that this is probably what people would do in this life, but he still hesitated a little in his heart.
Asked:
"The west side The Yan people won't come back again, right?"
Master Sword Saint put down the soup bowl, took two bites of the pancake, shook his head and said:
"Who knows. "
"Alas." The old man sighed, stood up silently, and said, "A couple more big bones?"
"No, these are enough."
"You are getting older too. In the past, you could drink three bowls of broth and five large pancakes and gnaw three or four big bones in one meal."
"That's right. , He is indeed not a young man anymore.”
“When are you planning to get married?”
"It's not urgent."
"It has to be urgent."
"Okay, I'll be anxious first."
At this moment, Suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from the street outside the soup cake shop.
The old man turned his head and looked out suspiciously, while the sword master stood up, walked to the door panel, removed a door panel, and found a group of Jin army knights heading eastward.
What followed was a sudden burst of fighting and cries throughout the capital.
The Juggernaut’s eyes narrowed.
"But something happened outside, is it so lively?"
The sword master did not deceive the old man and said:
"Something happened."
"But the Yan people called?"
"It seems so."
"Alas, they still called after all. Tell me, for no reason. What are you going to do to provoke the Yan people?"
The sword master turned around and said:
"You can't say that."
"An'an Shengshengdi. To make a living, you have to deal with right and wrong. "The old man didn't know the identity of the sword master. He only knew that he was a young man who was in trouble at the beginning and is now prosperous.
In the early years, when the man in front of me was still young, he often brought his younger brother to eat soup cakes. Later, their clothes got better and better, and their swords looked more and more expensive. And then , my younger brother doesn’t come often, but the person in front of me comes here from time to time.
The Sword Master said:
"After all, we have to change our way of life."
"Alas, the big shots always want to make trouble, and we small people , I just want to live my own life peacefully.
Guarding the capital, guarding the palace, guarding this majesty, I can always live this life. ”
< p>"How boring is this life?"Hearing this, the old man smiled
as if he was completely indifferent to the chaos outside.
Pointing to the half-drunk bone soup that Lord Sword Master had just drunk,
said:
"Most people in the world think about how to eat enough. Only those noble people who have no worries about eating and drinking always think about making their food more delicious all day long."
