Chapter 596: A Veteran's Choice
"Brother Wang, are you very afraid of Sister Ling? She is very fierce?" Zhe Kerou asked tentatively.
Wang Ningze was even more frustrated, "It's not brother, the problem is that no one around my sister is good... Well, no, I say it's a normal person, a normal person! For example, my brother taught her to calculate the calculation, my mother taught her to do business, my father taught her to punch, my sister-in-law taught her weapons, and my sister-in-law taught her to write poetry and songs... In the first few years, she went to Liuyi Academy to attend classes, coaxing Zuiweng and Xianggong Fan very happily, and put on a bunch of classics, history and collections... Tell me, are these things a girl should learn? It's great to be a girl at home, embroider a flower and plant, and make clothes. But her hands are not touched by spring water, and she can't even make food. She looks almost twenty years old and can't get married. If she's like the lion of the Liu family, she's left as an old girl, she can make people die of worries."
Wang Ningze was full of bitterness. He had a sister who was better than him in everything, and the pressure was really great! Now Wang Silang was hoping that someone would not be afraid of death and would marry his sister away quickly, so that he would not suffer any torture.
Wang Ningze didn't notice it at all. Zhe Kerou's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, just like a fire.
As the helmsman of the Zhe Family Army, he inherited the position of prefecture and prefecture at a young age with the support of several uncles and uncles.
Zhe Kerou knew very well that his marriage was definitely a political marriage and he couldn't escape.
His second uncle, Zhe Jizu, mentioned that the Cao family, Pan family, Yang family, Shi family, and several generals are good choices. As for the Wang family, Zhe Jizu had thought about it, but he didn't know that Wang Ning'an had a sister. Even if there were, Wang Ning'an was half civil and not martial, and there were a lot of important ministers and even noble relatives around him.
The energy of these people is much greater than that of the Zhe family, and it is not their turn to do so.
But Zhe Kerou doesn't think so. Since it's a marriage, she wants to marry the most suitable one. The Wang family's civil and military walks on two legs, has outstanding achievements, and is deeply trusted by the emperor. Wang Ning'an is also the crown prince's master. Being able to marry his sister is definitely a great thing for the Zhe family! What's more, Miss Wang is so capable!
It turns out that Wang Ningze’s shortcomings, when it comes to Zhe Kerou, have become the advantages of shining brightly.
Just by the Taoshui River, the sun sets, Zhe Kerou sets a small goal for herself... Marry a girl from the Wang family!
With the arrival of the Wang Family Army and the Zhe Family Army, the Battle of Shizhou entered the most critical stage of deployment of troops.
On this day, a team of grain trucks came to Longxi, and a person came with the grain truck, that was Wang Ning'an!
Zhao Zhen was worried.
Anyone with discerning eyes can see that it is difficult to lure Dong Wen into an invasion and wipe out his entire battle. This strategy is somewhat risky, and a more stable approach should be to take over separately, cut off reinforcements from all over the country, and then force Dong Wen to retreat to Qingtang.
But if that happens, it will be delayed for a long time and will be difficult to solve.
Uncle Zhao, who is getting older and older, is eager to quickly solve all problems in his hands and leave the little prince a peaceful world.
The boss is anxious, and the people below are prone to make mistakes in their busy schedules. At this time, someone who is sufficient to stabilize the situation can comfort the emperor and let the soldiers let go of their actions.
So, Wang Ning'an had to come!
"I won't give orders, you just do as Wang Shao wants."
Wang Ning'an left only one sentence and ran to the official residence to sleep.
Zong Gu, Zhe Ke Rou, Zhe Jizu, Wang Ningxuan, Wang Ninghong... There are also many generals. When they saw Wang Ning'an appear, they put their hearts in their stomachs. Even if he didn't say anything, everyone had a clear idea.
Zhong Gu smiled, "Then everyone act according to the order!"
What the Song Dynasty needs to do at present is to show that the enemy is weak and withdraw all the troops west of Taoshui back to the eastern part of Taoshui, leaving only Xizhou, and attracting Dong Wen's troops.
When Dong Jie was exhausted, he would come out together and encircle them west of Taoshui. In short, the Song Dynasty would set up a huge pocket array.
Xizhou is the center, and Zhe Kerou led 5,000 of the Zhe family troops to guard Lintao Fort and Jiehe Fort, while Zhong Gu led the Zong family troops to go south to guard the Nanguan Fort and Nanchuan Fort... As for the Wang family army, there is only one mission, which is to accumulate energy. When the Tao River freezes, Dong Wen is exhausted, and then attacks and defeats his opponent!
...
Dong Wen knew nothing about the layout of the Song Dynasty. He thought that there was only Wang Shao, a partial army in Xizhou, and he had no idea at all. The Song Dynasty had already taken out ace and released three at once!
Dong Wen moved east smoothly. Although there was no decent battle along the way, Mu Zheng's small court was destroyed. The undecided British tribe returned and he found the feeling of the king.
At his feet, many leaders of the foreign tribe crawled. They were all begged for trouble by Shanziying and Yeli. The people suffered heavy losses, and the cattle and sheep were lost, and they could not survive in winter.
"Master, please make the decision for us!"
"Yes, I must kill Wang Shao and let Da Song compensate the annual monies."
These people cried and wiped their tears, and then started to cheer. Dong Wu snorted, "You have today, and you have found it yourself. You actually have me on your back, hooked up with the Song Dynasty, and even defected to the rebellion. Are you worthy of me?"
"The young people are all wrong, but the young people have no choice, we can't beat them!"
Dong Wen snorted, "I am the one who dies. I am here and I will definitely avenge you. Not only will I have to get the annual monies, but I will also let the Song Dynasty stolen several prefectures for us!"
When the people below heard this, they immediately cheered and praised the king's wisdom in unison.
They drank until the middle of the night before Dong Wen called Gui Zhang. At this time, Dong Wen's face was full of solemnity and no longer had the joyful smile he had just now!
"It's all a bunch of snobbish, fence-bearers, and people who fall in love with the wind!"
Gui Zhang smiled and said, "The lord is right. These people only recognize their strength. As long as the lord can show the power to impress them, they will obey the command obediently. Otherwise, these guys will be half-hearted."
"Well, it seems that this battle has to be fought. You immediately lead 10,000 troops to attack Lintao Fort. I heard that it was a place for the decree, and there should be a lot of good things. The lonely king led his troops to take Xizhou and destroyed Wang Shao!" Dong Wen said gritting his teeth.
...
"Friends, everyone pack up their things and leave quickly, the faster the better!"
A military man in his thirties shouted loudly... His name is Zhao Tiezhu, and he is the commander of the cavalry camp, responsible for guarding Kangle Village, which is also one of the many villages that need to retreat.
Unfortunately, there are as many as thousands of people in Kangle Village, which is the largest village around. Many older people are relocated and are unwilling to leave.
Even if they agree to withdraw, they will still be large and small bags, jars and jars, and they will not be able to walk fast at all.
Zhao Tiezhu was so anxious that his forehead was sweating.
"Brother Zhuzi, it's not good. Qing Tang Bing is here! There are less than 30 miles left!"
"What?"
Zhao Tiezhu's face changed color. At this time, many brothers came over with their horses, and everyone changed their faces and color.
"Brother Zhuzi, go quickly! Don't wait!"
According to the above order, they need to mobilize the people to retreat and provide protection... but if an emergency occurs, they can give up on the people and retreat as soon as possible.
After all, it is really hard to ask the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to ignore life and death, cover up the people and act as the guards of the Tieliu. Moreover, west of the Tao River, the foreigners and Han people live together, and they are not all Han men, so they don’t feel sorry for giving up.
"Brother Zhuzi, let's go!"
Zhao Tiezhu finally nodded. He pointed out his 453 men, rode war horses, and quickly left Kangle Village. Before leaving, Zhao Tiezhu sent someone to tell all the people to abandon all unnecessary things and run east as soon as possible. After passing Taoshui, they will be safe.
The people were skeptical, but most people did as they did.
Zhao Tiezhu took his brothers away for more than ten miles away, but he was still worried. He asked someone to look back and see where the people retreated. It was not a big deal. A group of herders and cavalry appeared from somewhere. When they saw the retreating people, they seemed to see the wolf pack of prey and rushed up.
The scimitar in his hand was waving, and the bow and arrow swished, and many people fell to the ground.
They rushed up, snatched livestock, snatched property, and even let go of clothes!
Thousands of people were wailing in pain and fell into a desperate situation. Even the Qiang people and Tubo people told these robbers in local dialect that everyone was their own people and should not kill them.
But what they got was ruthless chopping and slaughtering. They would not distinguish between the Fan Han Dynasty at all. In their eyes, there was only looting and killing.
"Brother Zhuzi, stop worrying. If you wait any longer, Dong Jim's team will come!"
Many soldiers were still persuading, but Zhao Tiezhu couldn't give up.
"It's been more than a year, even if the cattle and sheep have feelings for each other, let alone the living people. Those who are willing to go with me to save people will follow you. If you don't want you to continue moving forward."
After saying that, Zhao Tiezhu took the lead and turned over and killed him. The other soldiers hesitated for a moment and all followed him to kill him...
They came in time, and the robber was killed by them and caught off guard. They fled in a panic. There were only seven or eight hundred people left.
The people who escaped from death saw these soldiers of the Song Dynasty and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Many people were even more excited and must follow them.
On this land, killing the people is the instinct of every team. They don’t care whether they are Han or Tubo people. As long as they are worth looting, they will start without hesitation!
And Zhao Tiezhu, he is the first warrior who is willing to save people in everyone's impression!
Faced with the people's requests, many soldiers were impatient.
"Brother Zhuzi, we can't take them with us. The elderly, weak, women and children, and there are no war horses. How can we run better than Dong Wen's cavalry?"
"That's right, we can't live with such a big burden!"
"It's enough to save them once, and you still point at us to protect them forever?"
...
On the one hand, there are people who beg for their hard work, and on the other hand, there are brothers who are indignant.
Zhao Tiezhu felt that he was about to be split in half. His eyes swept over the people with blood on his body and suddenly found a woman with a hideous knife on her cheek and a child in her arms. She was like a piece of stiff wood.
If no one protects her, and her children, might die...
Zhao Tiezhu took a deep breath, "Brothers, what's the difference between throwing them all down and not saving people?"
"Yes, but we can't take them away, right?"
Zhao Tiezhu smiled honestly, "In fact, there is a way. As long as you leave half of the people and block Dong Wen, everyone will survive!"
