Chapter 108: The Death of a Famous General

"Okay, it's good to fight, the war in the Bishan area hasn't given full play to the advantage of cavalry, and at the moment I have more than 20,000 cavalry under my hands, and I really don't have much to do." Bai Yisheng shrugged, looking indifferent.

He is a natural general, if Zhao Hongru likes to overcome rigidity with softness and win by surprise, Bai Yisheng is a guy who likes to fight hard, and it can be seen when he was fighting against the main force of the Rong clan outside the Saiwai.

In the Bishan area, with the rough and decaying momentum, the Zheng Guotie cavalry was solved, to be honest, I had never encountered a strong opponent, and I always felt a little unhappy in my heart.

Once the war in the south is over and goes to the north, it will be the world of cavalry and the battlefield of soldiers.

In the next few days, there were more and more iron cavalry troops in Toucheng, all of them, there were 100,000 people, and in the mountain road, there was still an endless stream of people who surrendered to Cheng, which exceeded Lei Jieying's expectations in advance.

Unfortunately, on the sixth day, the Song army broke the city, and the old general Zhu Hai died in the city, accompanied by 30,000 iron cavalry soldiers who did not want to leave, and more than 20,000 people who were too injured to leave.

On that day, the battle situation was extremely tragic, Liangming Pass changed hands three times, and was recaptured by the Iron Cavalry three times, but it was outnumbered, the soldiers were hungry, and finally failed to defeat the Song army with high morale.

Many fought until the last moment, until they paid the price of their lives, and many of the wounded refused to fall into the hands of the Song army, either holding the Song army at the head of the city and dying together, or wielding their swords to kill themselves, the scene was extremely heroic.

Banner hunting, cold wind Xiao Xiao, Song Qi climbed the head of Liangming Pass, standing beside the veteran Zhu Hai, his corpse, like a javelin, standing upright at the head of the city.

The helmet was gone, the scattered white hair was mixed with blood, twisted into strands, and he held the war knife that had followed him for decades in the southern and northern wars.

The old and burly body was full of arrows, his face was hideous and terrifying, his eyes were glaring ahead, and the corners of his mouth were overflowing with red blood.

It was he who led the 350,000 tired divisions to fight against a group of tigers and wolves on the day of the city's breaking. Though dead, still glorious! 、

played the majesty of the Iron Cavalry, played the prestige of Zheng Guo, the person is dead, and the unyielding spirit will be passed down through the ages.

Song Qi stood in front of Zhu Hai's corpse for a long time before he said lightly to the deputy general: "Clean up the old general's body, and the marshal of the Song State has been buried with specifications." ”

"General, this ----" the adjutant general looked embarrassed and hesitated.

"Something to say!"

"General, in this battle, Zheng Guo has more than 30,000 people, and more than 50,000 of us have been dragged to death, why do you want to bury him!" The battle was fierce, and the iron cavalry army left behind, forgetting to die, cast the Great Wall of steel with flesh and blood, dragging down the forward of the Song army, and crippling the main force of the Song army.

If the Iron Cavalry has the pride of sacrificing life and forgetting death, the Song army may not be able to break through the pass, and the price paid will be even more heavy on the day of breaking the pass.

"As a general, he fought to the last moment of his life, and was loyal to the country, as an opponent, he impressed me, shouldn't such a person be respected?"

Song Qi's voice was solemn, he admired Zhu Hai, although the two sides were enemies, as he said, Zhu Hai died, but he did his duty as a general, all his obligations, there is nothing more worthy of respect than dying on the battlefield for the country.

The strong have the destiny of the strong, and even if they die, they should not be confused with everyone.

Song Qi admired the strong and admired Zhu Hai, at least this battle made him know that Zheng Guo was not all incompetent, and if the Great Song Dynasty wanted to win the world, he needed to work harder.

"Yes!"

After taking care of Zhu Hai's funeral, looking at the ruined walls and the corpse-ridden Liangming Pass, Song Qi felt very heavy.

Now Liangming Pass, all the people left behind died in battle, as if it had become an empty city, continue to move westward, but it is a hundred miles of mountain road, the newly built Yaoguan of Yan State, if forcibly captured, I am afraid it will be another bloody battle.

In the past few months, the Yan army has recuperated and trained its soldiers and horses, although the Song army has won a new victory, it is a tired army, and it may not be able to conquer the pass and occupy the Leiming Pass.

But the Song army paid 50,000 lives and only captured an empty city, which is really ironic.

Song Qi's clenched fist smashed on the broken city wall, and said angrily: "Shameless Yanren, I, Song Qi, will set foot in the Yandu in my lifetime!" ”

After judging the situation, the tiger generals were left to guard the Liangming Pass, the Song Dynasty called off the troops against the Song Dynasty, and the Song and Yan countries divided the customs and ruled.

Yanjing, Lin Feng learned that Liangming Pass was lost and Zhu Hai was killed in battle, and he couldn't help but be in awe, standing on the main hall, and groaning softly.

The general was in a hundred battles and his reputation was shattered. Xiang Heliang, looking back at thousands of miles, the old man is forever.

The wind is cold in the west, and the seats are full of clothes like snow.

is a strong man, and the sad song is not thorough.

The bird still knows that it is like a hate, and it is expected that it will cry tears and blood.

Who is with me, drunk with the moon? ”,

Although Zhu Hai is not Yan's general and not an old man, Zhu Hai's death in battle made him, who was once a soldier, awe-inspiring and proud.

This is an era full of wars, here, how many people are on the verge of war to join the enemy, and how many people would rather die than give in, Zhu Hai did it, with his will to die, to express his loyalty to Zheng Guo, although he died still honored!

"Your Majesty, the situation in the south has basically been decided, according to General Zhao's strategy, and now the two sides are guarding the pass, and it is difficult to invade each other, is it possible to end the southern battlefield and concentrate on resuming production." In this war, Bai Yisheng, Lei Jieying, Zhao Jun, Tuoba Yu, and Zhao Hongru occupied a large area of Huainan Province, Shannan Province, and Yulin Road, thousands of miles of land, mostly fertile land, although spring plowing has long passed, production can be resumed, and the agenda must be raised as soon as possible to appease the displaced people.

Yu Zheming believes that a country should not only have a strong military, but also win the support of the people, so that they have a sense of belonging, rather than rejection.

Fortunately, Lin Feng did a good job in this point, when the Longjiang River was flooded, the Yan State relieved the displaced people in Gyeongju, which won the hearts of many people, so when the Yan army occupied Shannan Province, Huainan Province, and Yulindao area, the people did not have too much rejection, except for the city defense, the destroyed fertile land needed to be repaired, after a short panic, the people still lived and worked in peace and contentment.

"The war in the south is over, but there are still 50,000 iron cavalry troops on the west side of the Bishan Plain, although there are also 100,000 tigers stationed in Zhao State in the Longjiang area, and the iron cavalry army does not dare to act rashly, I think that the Bishan area must not be careless against the enemy." Lin Feng said.

In this battle, he occupied Zhengguo Sandao, and the harvest surpassed Feng Shihu and others in the north, and captured the Anqing and Guangyuan army areas. Compared with Zhao Song and Zheng, Yan is still a small country, but the land area has increased by more than five times, and the number of people has increased by tens of millions, and the difficulty of operating has increased.

With the end of the war, it became a top priority to repair the city passes and pacify the people in the areas that had been devastated by the war.

However, as Aiqing said, there is an urgent need to appease the people, restore productivity, and solve the people's suffering! In this way, whether it is north or south, if the war destroys the harvest of the people, they must be given a year's harvest, and it may cost Yan a lot of money, but it must be done. Lin Feng said.

"Your Majesty, Duan Wen and the two families are in charge, they will meet with Weichen this morning, the two seem to have an agreement, the Duan family advocates investing money and grain in the southern Bishan region to resume production, and the Wen family chooses to invest money and grain in the northern and eastern Jin regions to help the emperor solve his urgent needs." Zhao Shide said.

Lin Feng asked without hesitation: "What conditions did the Duan Wen family offer, they would not drop the pie by nature, I don't believe that the Duan Wen family unconditionally supported the Yan Kingdom." ”

Before a decisive victory, although the Duan and Wen families supported the Yan State, the money and grain had not arrived, and even the 50 million taels of silver lent to the Yan State were also after Zhang Yu and Li Kui captured Anyi County in the north.

Lin Feng is not a fool, right now, the Duan Wen family is taking advantage of the post-war reconstruction to invest money and food, and their intentions are unkind!

"The Duan and Wen families helped the people build new homes, build city defenses, and reorganize commerce, and the requirement was that in the next five years, the general tax revenue in these areas would be handed over to them." Zhao Shide said.

"Are you sure?" Lin Feng asked.

"Sure!"

"Oh, Zhao Aiqing, what do you think about this matter?" Lin Feng asked again.

"Fifty percent of the tax is too high, and the minister thinks that thirty percent is negotiable!" Zhao Shide replied.

Lin Feng smiled lightly, so that outsiders couldn't guess his thoughts, and said: "Zhao Aiqing, you tell Duan Wen and the two families that if they want to cooperate, they will cooperate sincerely, but if they are not sincere, I still say that, without the gate valve, Yan Guo can still be maintained." ”

This is the second time, Lin Feng was dissatisfied with Zhao Shide, the first time, the Rong clan invaded, and the ministers all suggested that they should fight with the strength of the country, but Zhao Shide strongly recommended to attach themselves to Zhao State.

This time, the Yan State soldiers exchanged their flesh and blood for territory, and Zhao Shide was embarrassed to say the request of the Duan Wen family, if it was a backbone Yan Guoren, when he heard this suggestion, he should immediately refuse.

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Feng stood up, stood in the center of the Jinluan Palace, and said, "I have a saying today, Yan Guo is not a minister. Not in harmony. No mounding. No compensation, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies! If someone betrays the interests of Yan Kingdom, don't blame me for killing him! ”

When Zhao Shide heard this, he immediately realized how much his previous words made Lin Feng angry, leaned over to the ground, and said in silence: "Your Majesty, the minister will never have the heart of disobedience, let alone betray the interests of the Yan Kingdom, the minister should die, the minister should die, I listened to the slander of the Duan Wen family!" ”

"The general died in a hundred battles, the strong man returned in ten years, the land of Yan is a big Yan man, with a knife and a gun, he was recaptured on the battlefield with his flesh and blood, not from the sky, how many mothers, how many wives, how many children, because of the war, lost their sons, lost their husbands, and lost their fathers. On the land that their family took back with flesh and blood, their parents, wives, and children could not enjoy wealth, glory and love, and there were still people who were willing to throw their heads, spill blood, and shed blood and sand for Dayan

field, siege and land. Lin Feng shouted angrily, he may not be a good emperor, or he may be able to start a war for hegemony, but in his heart, the word justice is still in the middle.

"Zhao Shide, go down, go back and reflect on today's events!"
