Chapter 1553 Taking over Taiyuan, casualties in the battle in Hedong
Months of fighting, the fighting was fought more than terrible. Taiyuan City has long been a devastation, most of them have long been exhausted, hungry to the front chest against the back of the Song people Yiyong finally looked forward to the arrival of reinforcements, but also killed the siege of the onslaught, the seemingly invincible Jin army, and Wang Yu had to only cooperate with the battle, but extremely rejected Xiao Tang's soldiers and horses The attitude is different, for most of the Song people, the thinking is very simple, they just want to cheer, excited to celebrate, and glad that they fought the last moment, and finally able to save the family from being killed by the Jin army.
As for Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, his attitude was completely different from Wang Yu's, and he repeatedly thanked Xiao Tang in his mouth, his attitude was extremely enthusiastic, and it didn't seem to be fake at all.
Zhang Xiaochun, the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu and the governor of Taiyuan Mansion, was also a pivotal civil minister who presided over the wolf-filled Hedong Road when the Western Army invaded. However, Xiao Tang also knew very well that according to the original trajectory, Taiyuan was broken and slaughtered by the Jin army, and the general Wang Yu was killed in battle, but Zhang Xiaochun succumbed to the reduction of Jin, and even later became the prime minister of the puppet Qi regime supported by the Jin State.
However, it would be biased to directly characterize Zhang Xiaochun as a traitor to the Song Dynasty, but in fact, he also resisted the onslaught of the Jin army for more than 200 days like Wang Yu, and when the Jin army finally conquered Taiyuan, the most difficult bone to gnaw on the Hedong Road, he killed and vented his anger, and the captured Zhang Xiaochun also refused to surrender at first. However, the current situation at that time was not only the shame of Jingkang, Hedong fell, the Jin army invaded Gyeonggi, Hebei, Jingdong, Huainan, and Yanyan and even swaggered to the Yangtze River basin to search the sky and chase after Song Gaozong Zhao Gou's buttocks and kill, directly scaring the official family who had not been on the throne for a long time to lose their fertility, the Song Dynasty was the most wrestling, and the country was the most weakened, Zhang Xiaochun had no choice but to reduce the gold, but he also tried to report the war planned by the pseudo-Qi against the Song court to the Song Dynasty, which was quite a bit of a sense of being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, It's just that after the puppet Qi regime was abolished, the Song and Jin countries were in a confrontation stage, and the Song court began to spread the call for compromise and peace with the Jin army
In the end, there are only a few loyal courtiers who would rather die than give in, and for Xiao Tang's current status, it would be even more tricky to deal with ministers who were as upright as Li Gang and uncompromising in terms of their own ideas and ambitions. And courtiers like Zhang Xiaochun are better to deal with, Xiao Tang and his greetings and plans, but also to appease, and read in his heart: This person is also of great use.
After meeting Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu, the two civil and military ministers who were stubbornly guarding Taiyuan, and marched into the city to settle down temporarily, there was still a matter that needed to be dealt with although it would make Xiao Tang feel heavy every time, but it must be treated seriously
That is to count the deaths of the generals under his command after the battle.
Since the battle of the division galloped to aid and heard into the Hedong Road, although the recovery of the territory of Longde Mansion and Weisheng Army was smooth, but the battle of killing Xiongling to aid the small species of Xianggong broke Ren Yuan, the general of the Mad Demon Army, and Zhou Jin, the general of the Tianbo Army; Han Shizhong and Niu Gao led the two generals of the rampage and the two generals of the Dang Cavalry and the Taihang and Zhongyi Baoshe armies galloped to Shaanzhou, and the generals Niu Geng and the two generals of Jin Ding in their respective armies were killed; In the tragic battle under the city of Taiyuan, Yang Chun, the general of the Panlong Army, and Shi Yong, the general of the Yonglie Army, were killed
During this period, Xiao Tang also immediately went to An Daoquan's side to find out, and the divine doctor treated him one after another, although the sweat on his forehead seemed to have no time to wipe it, fortunately, his expression calmed down, and reported to Xiao Tang: "Although I also shot the vital point, I tried my best to save my life, and when I conditioned the pus to dry, it was naturally fine, but I had to recuperate during this time, and someone needed to take care of it."
Zhu Jing, who fought hard with the Jin army until he was injured and exhausted and fell off his horse and fainted, finally rushed back after the full help of the Tianbo army to save it. And Hu Yanzhuo, who was fighting with the Yinshu Cavalry Formation, Han Tao and Peng Xi, two partial generals, were hit by a rain of arrows and fell off their horses. Despite the danger of the situation, Han Tao also suffered fatal wounds and crawled out of the pile of corpses; However, Peng Xi was shot in the throat by an arrow, and when Hu Yanzhuo hurriedly dispatched the cavalry team to rescue, the neck bleeding did not stop, even if he was restrained by his neck, and quickly escorted back to the rear for rescue. Originally, he was hit by an arrow in the neck, and almost no doctor Lang Zhong could be rescued and could not survive. Fortunately, the divine doctor An Daoquan came with the army, in the original book, Zhang Qing's neck was pierced by a one-foot long iron feather arrow, and his life was also saved by his skillful rescue, as long as the arrow crossbow in the neck avoided the most deadly position, and after An Daoquan's best efforts to rescue, Peng Xi's life was saved.
Hu Yanzhuo and Han Tao, who came together with Xiao Tang, were the most anxious about Peng Xi's injury, and when they heard An Daoquan report that Peng Xi was safe, Hu Yanzhuo breathed a long sigh of relief, and his body that had been tense finally relaxed, and he and Peng Xi have always been the same and the same brother, Han Tao, who has been partnering in every war, stepped forward and grabbed An Daoquan's hands, his face was full of gratitude: "Doctor An, it is all by means of Wei to save and return my brother Peng Xi!" Such a great grace, I Han Tao will remember it in my heart! ”
"But it's the brothers who have seen the outside, since I also think that I have gathered with Brother Xiao Tang, it is useful to me, and I should do my best to save each other, what kind of favor do we care about each other?"
An Daoquan couldn't help but be stunned as soon as he said this, he was forced to throw himself into the Shuibo Liangshan controlled by Song Jiang in the past, and when he needed to save the leader of the village, he was also wholeheartedly and did not slack off, but he was forced to go to Liangshan because of the situation, and An Daoquan, who was born in Langzhong, and the leader who was born in the village is mostly green forests and grasses, and there seems to be a layer of estrangement in the heart of the leader who was born in the army (in the original book of the Water Margin, An Daoquan and Song Jiang's words are sometimes called brothers, and sometimes they are only called as the main generals, although they have saved Zhang Qing's life, they have also done internal response together, According to the fateful friendship, but it is still commensurate with a mouthful of General Zhang), but at this time, An Daoquan was eager to rescue the brothers in the village who were seriously injured and in danger, and he also felt full and relieved in his heart, compared to the time when he still felt sad and complaining in his heart, An Daoquan found that now with Xiao Tang and a group of brothers, the affection is even more real and reluctant.
For a moment in his heart, An Daoquan smiled faintly, and muttered: "Back then, the younger brother was famous for his ancestral internal medicine and surgical skills in Jiangning Mansion. was coerced to Liangshan to become the leader of the ministry, and I couldn't help but feel that I didn't have a place in my heart, although I was temporarily a medical officer of the Tai Hospital, Jin Kou had to hide and protect himself when he broke through Bianjing.
Xiao Tang also stepped forward to comfort An Daoquan again, and instructed the many seriously injured generals and soldiers of the righteous army to settle down in the city, and An Daoquan and the military medical officers he recruited to Laitai Hospital and even Bianjing for proper treatment, and An Daoquan also accepted it immediately. When Xiao Tang comforted Hu Yanzhuo and Han Tao again, Shi Xiuzheng came over and said to Xiao Tang: "Brother, Li Xiaozhong, Yao Pingzhong, and the brothers of the Taihang Mountain Lianlian Village and the Zhongyi Bao Society, and even the newly recruited leaders of the rebel army in Shaanzhou have settled their troops and horses, and they are also about to come together to meet with them. ”
