Chapter 1576 Killing important officials of the court is also in the calculation

Although Anyang, the seat of Xiangzhou, was still under the rule of the Song Dynasty, it was now located at the gate of the city, and the soldiers and horses of the righteous army and the Song army each used their own weapons and horses to fight each other, and the atmosphere was tense. However, the soldiers of the rebel army, who had the advantage in numbers under Xiao Tang's command, had been prepared in advance, and they were ready to attack, and they took the initiative from the beginning. On the other hand, most of the Song soldiers who hastily drew their swords were shocked and angry, and they did not understand why the rebel armies who had come to meet them suddenly attacked, and as soon as the two sides looked at each other, they immediately took action to capture the Shangguan and important ministers who were also appointed by the Song court to preside over the anti-Jin military affairs.

As for the official residence privy councilor, Du Chong, who was even more entrusted with the important task and now lives in the Beijing Daimyo Mansion and stayed behind to guard the minister, was even more angry and stunned. He was originally extremely hostile to Xiao Tang and the leaders of the various tribes under his command, but he also knew very well that he now needed those anti-Jin rebels to resist the Jin army for him. And no matter whether it is a matter of urgency or not, Xiao Tang is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses granted real power by the official family, and Du Chong is no matter how much he rejects it, he must come to discuss it in person. And he has long been unwilling to be afraid of being at the forefront of the Jin army's heavy attack at any time, so he will preside over the hot potato of Hebei and Shandong's front line to resist the Jin army, or because it will be lost to the group of thieves who still have use value as soon as possible.

However, Du Chong, who was not smiling, personally went out of the city to pick up the righteous army of Xiao Tang's department who rushed to the Xiangzhou Governance Office, but he never expected that the other party would immediately turn his face after hearing his name again. Xiao Tang, who did not hide the murderous intent on his face at all, only pointed his hand, and immediately rushed out, and several dragon and tiger leaders immediately put down the Song army knights who were caught off guard around him. Before Du Chong came back to his senses, he was dragged off the horse by a fat monk, the back of his neck was strangled to death, and his head was quickly slammed to the ground, and he was stunned!

The sudden shocking change made the Song court officials present, such as Zhao Buqian, the prefect of Xiangzhou, and Liu Hao, the martial arts doctor who stayed in Benzhou, also stood on the spot for a while, and some of the officials immediately thought that it was Xiao Tang who changed his hexagram repeatedly, and suddenly wanted to harm the imperial court. However, a discerning person can quickly see that Xiao Tang's sudden attack is only aimed at Du Chong, although the rebels drew their swords and guns, it seems that they are just signaling the rest of the Song army not to act rashly.

Du Chong was knocked into a crooked nose and mouth, and the sides of his mouth were full of dust. Although he struggled and fluttered as hard as he could, Lu Zhishen stepped on his back, and leaned over to choke the back of his neck, making Na Du Chong like a king who was trampled on the soles of his feet, and he had to raise his head with great effort, and shouted loudly with a sharp voice: "Xiao Tang! Even if you have a holy seal, how dare you be so disrespectful to the officials of the imperial court? Do you want to rebel!? ”

Soon, Du Chong, who had a golden star in his eyes, suddenly felt that his eyes were dark again, Xiao Tang paced forward, had already leaned down, and only whispered in a tone that Du Chong could hear clearly: "At the beginning, there were many treacherous and evil ministers like you in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, if you don't rebel, how can you kill the people who should be killed?" I have rebelled, and now I want to get rid of you, do you think I will be jealous of the suspicion of the court? ”

Even Qin Hui, a traitor who has been stinking for thousands of years, at least has little impact on the overall situation in the current situation, and it may be of great use to keep him for the Song Dynasty in the future. But after learning that he would meet Du Chong, a traitor who had also risen to prominence after Zhao Ji's throne, Xiao Tang had already moved his mind to kill him directly.

In the official history, after the Song court experienced the shame of Jingkang, it actually controlled a large territory of the Central Plains after Zhang Bangchang directly abdicated and returned to power in the Southern Song Dynasty. However, within a few years, the defense line of Hebei and Shandong was easily broken by the Jin army, and the Song army was still invincible until all the land north of the Yangtze River fell, according to Xiao Tang's thoughts, including Du Chong, who is now lying at his feet.

If it weren't for Xiao Tang's previous intention to deploy and recruit the anti-Jin rebels in various parts of the north, such as Taihang Mountain Lianhuanzhai and Zhongyi Baoshe, he would also know very well that in the official history, the anti-Jin uprisings in Hebei were constantly abandoned, but Du Chong first took the initiative to give up, which also caused most of the anti-Jin rebels in Heshuo, Jingdong, and Jijin to be suppressed by the Jin army, and he was extremely repulsive to the civilian anti-Jin armed forces, and completely disrupted the Northern Expedition deployment planned by Zongze, Zhang Suo and other anti-Jin celebrities. Originally, Yue Fei's Shuai Si Mansion was originally the main direction of attack, which was to go north to hold the Hebei Daimyo Mansion and other important places to go to the front line of resistance to Jin, and the plan was completely abolished by Du Chong after Zong Ze died of illness. And only in terms of the current war situation, Du Chong, as the head official who presided over the Hebei anti-Jin military affairs, allowed the Jin Guo East Road army led by Wanyan Lu Bu to come and go freely, and the only resistance countermeasure was to order the Yellow River embankment to be opened, but instead of stopping the Jin Guo East Road army for a moment, the river break did not stop the Jin Guo East Road army for a moment, but drowned more than 200,000 Song people, and a large number of people were displaced and became refugees.

No matter how bad the crimes of Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others were in treachery and harming the country and the people, they never expected that the Jin State would be so harmful to the Song Dynasty that they would lose the country. However, Du Chong, as the head official of the Song Dynasty in the east of the anti-Jin army, is more like helping the Jin army to plague the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains during the most tragic period of the national disaster. Anticipate the enemy at the right time, and have the wind of ancient famous generals. Compared with the two capitals, prepared for a hundred battles, Yixia is famous and angry, and the soldiers and people are dead and single-minded......

After the shame of Jingkang, the Song court still appointed traitors like this, and it is not surprising that Xiao Tangxin said that within a few years, half of the country will still fall into the hands of foreign captives.

And Du Chong heard Xiao Tangsenran say it, he raised his head with great effort and still wanted to scold, but when he suddenly saw Xiao Tang's hatred and murderous expression, he couldn't help but feel excited again. At this time, Du Chong didn't understand that he didn't seem to have an old grudge with Xiao Tang, but why did he have to kill him quickly, but Xiao Tang knew very well that although he was still Song Qinzong and Zhao Huan as the son of the Great Song Dynasty, Du Chong might not be able to lose a large amount of the country because he could win Zhao Gou's favor, and he would still be promoted to the right servant of Shangshu and shoot Tongping Zhangshi, who was an important position as the right minister of the Song court, but if he was allowed to interfere in the anti-Jin military affairs, sooner or later it would inevitably be a disaster.

Immediately, Xiao Tang's voice was full of emotion, and he looked around at the officials, leaders, soldiers and horses who were present and said loudly: "At the beginning of the Jin people's southern invasion, your family originally lived in the Cangzhou prefect, but because of suspicion, the Han people of the Liao Dynasty who fled from Yandi to the rule of the Han people under the rule of the Jin people were the internal response of the Jin people, so they killed them indiscriminately, regardless of men, women, old and children, which also caused many Liao Han people to hate the Song Dynasty deeply, and they were willing to submit to the southern invasion of the Jin army for the use of foreign captives... When the Jin army drove south from the two roads of Hebei to attack Bianjing, you broke the embankment of the Yellow River without hurting the Jin army, but killed hundreds of thousands of Song people......

The Jin army invaded south again and broke through the Daimyo's mansion, Guo Yong and other courtiers were martyred in Hebei East Road, and a large number of military states on the two roads of Hebei fell...... Only a single crime, it is already innocent, I have been appointed as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, in charge of the northern anti-Jin expedition to lead the army, both bumped into the wrong country and ministers, so overthrowing the army to kill the generals, humiliating the country and mourning the division, and the people of the Song Dynasty The great crime of the world, do you think that if you are afraid of the crime and hide, and the clever words are played, no one can move you!? ”

At this time, realizing that Xiao Tang really dared to kill himself on the crime, Du Chong's face was even more frightened, trembling like chaff, knowing that death was coming, he could only hold the last trace of hope and wail: "Xiao Shuai, this mansion is a serious crime, and it should be edicted by the official." The court can punish me with capital crimes, but you can't! Not only is it overdue, not to mention that you are a rebel who has turned your back on the court, and you are suspicious of the saints and hundreds of officials, if you kill the important ministers of the court again, even if it is important to resist the Jin captives now, the court will not tolerate you for a long time! ”

Xiao Tang showed a playful smile on his face when he heard this, and leaned down, lowered his voice and said: "Even if you are blatantly killing officials, what you are ambushing is that although you and traitors like you provoke the suspicion of the court, you will teach the people of the world to applaud and applaud...... I and the imperial court were originally separated from each other because of the common humiliation, and now the time when we will finally be separated and opposed, is not far away. ”
