The woman screamed loudly, but the man showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Mom! Don't bully my mother! Don't bully my mother!"
A ten-year-old thin boy struggled hard to break free, but his body was too weak. He fell into the snow, looked at his mother, and burst into tears.
But he still didn't stop struggling. He tried his best until his hand was broken. He threw himself forward and fell beside his mother.
"Mother! Mother..."
The woman crawled over trembling, trying to hug her child.
Suddenly a knife came over, the woman trembled all over and stopped, the snow in the snow was stained red.
The woman's head was chopped off.
The fat man put away the knife, pointed at the boy and said, "The hand is broken, it's useless."
As soon as the words fell, a person next to him threw an ax at the boy's head, and with a bang, the boy also lay in the snow without making a sound.
After the surrounding villagers saw it, some people couldn't help shouting: "Li Baozheng! We are all Han Chinese! Why did you do such a vicious hand! Be a human being and stay on the front line! Stay on the front line! You are now killing us all! I am not afraid of the day Have you been punished..."
That Li Baozheng was striding forward, without any hesitation, he slashed the face of the person who spoke just now with an axe.
With a bang, the man had no time to dodge, his face was cut open, and he fell on the snow on the spot.
Seeing this, the rest of the people dared not make another one.
Li Baozheng said kindly: "Now the imperial court gives you a chance to go to the front line to make a fortune, but you still push back. Are you worthy of the imperial court? Are you worthy of my sincerity?"
"I heard that Master Wang has taken Bazhou!" A person in the crowd shouted loudly.
"Which Master Wang! Which Master Wang! Master Wang has already conquered the Zhending Mansion, sent his troops to the Yellow River, and is about to regain the Central Plains!" Li Baozheng bared his yellow teeth, "Central Plains! The Nanban has occupied the Central Plains for more than 100 years. Now Master Wang is finally going to regain the Central Plains! Shouldn't you be happy for the court!"
"Everyone is laughing! Everyone is laughing! Everyone is cheering heartily! Cheering for Master Wang to regain the Central Plains..."
Before the words were finished, the sound of iron hooves suddenly came from the snowy forest ahead.
Everyone immediately became alert, but it was too late.
But seeing the figures of more than [-] cavalry rushing quickly, the people in the village recovered from the brief shock and scattered.
The twenty or so signatory soldiers who came to recruit civilian husbands had never seen such a scene before, and they stood in the snow in a daze.
Li Baozheng was frightened and threw an ax at the cavalry in front, but the ax was avoided by the cavalry and missed.
I saw that the cavalryman in the front was still seven meters away, but he bent his bow and hit Li Baozheng's thigh with an arrow, and blood spattered all over the ground.
The rest instinctively wanted to resist, and the cavalry behind rushed up and killed eight or nine of them like cutting melons and vegetables.
The rest immediately dropped their weapons and lay down on the ground.
"Forgive me! Forgive me! I'm Baozheng! I'm Baozheng!" Li Baozheng fell into the snow and hissed.
The villagers fled one after another, and the Jin soldiers were surrounded by the sudden appearance of these Song Army cavalry regiments, and the scene was quickly brought under control.
The leading cavalry captain came to Li Baozheng, looked at the mother and child lying in the pool of blood, and looked around, his eyes fell on the row of corpses dropped on the tree at the entrance of the village.
Tang Qingyan looked up at the gray sky, and said coldly, "Are you Baozheng?"
"Yes, yes, I am Baozheng."
Tang Qingyan asked again: "Why did you kill these people?"
"It's the imperial court... oh no, it's the Jin people who want to recruit soldiers, and the villains are just following orders. There's nothing I can do about it. If you don't complete the tasks given by the higher authorities, your life will be lost."
"So you kill even women and children?"
"This... villain..."
Tang Qingyan got off the horse and slowly pulled out the knife. The sound of friction between the blade and the scabbard could be heard clearly.
Li Baozheng was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he immediately said: "This general, the villain has a chance to make a fortune. Now the Jinren recruit soldiers, and every time they recruit, they will be given the same money! Yiguan! There are 380 people in this village. There are still more than 200 people in the next door village, the villain will give all the chances of getting rich to the general, the villain will do it, and I will give you the money after receiving it, never..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Qingyan suddenly held a knife in both hands and slashed at him.
Li Baozheng's head was split in half, and the upper half slid down along the cut and landed in the snow, with red and white scattered in the snow.
His eyes were still open, he even moved his hands a few times, and made a vague sound from his mouth.
Tang Qingyan wiped the blade of the knife briefly with Li Baozheng's clothes, and Li Baozheng fell down.
Another cavalryman came over and asked, "Zhengyan, how to deal with these golden soldiers?"
"Deal with it."
There were screams from the entrance of the village.
It took a while to return to calm.
The two men approached cautiously.
"But Song Jun?"
Tang Qingyan looked at the two men.
"I'm a villager here!" One of them said excitedly, "I heard that Master Wang has hit Bazhou, is it true?"
"It's true." Tang Qingyan said, "Marshal Yue is here!"
"Is it Marshal Yue who took back the three towns in Hebei back then?"
"In this world, there is only one Marshal Yue!"
Another man shouted to the back: "Folks, come out, Master Wang is here!"
After a long silence, some people came out one after another.
"Forgive me, Shangguan. The Jinren are now arresting people everywhere in the village. Many villages have been captured. Those who don't follow will be killed directly. They are just afraid."
Chapter 1436 Fighting in the Kingdom of Jin? (Second more)
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Ning sat in the backyard of Xing Zai enjoying flowers and drinking tea as usual.
Zhang Jun hurried over.
"The minister sees the official family."
"Don't be too polite, what are you looking for?"
"The latest frontline information sent by Yue Fei."
"Oh?" Zhao Ning was slightly surprised, what kind of information was so important that Yue Fei sent someone to send it.
At this moment, there is nothing important, Yue Fei will not write a memorial to Zhao Guan's family.
Zhao Ning opened it, but was stunned for a moment, and could not help frowning, he said: "It seems that Jin Wushu feels that he has been cornered, and has torn the last fig leaf."
"It's just that those people who haven't left Yandi may be very miserable at this time." Zhang Jun sighed, his tone quite dignified.
This is also something that can't be helped. Once it really breaks out, the conflict will inevitably be staged in the most violent way.
Human life?
At this time, a human life is not as good as a grain of rice.
"Yue Fei reported this matter in the hope that I will not be confused by the strength of the Jin soldiers. The whereabouts of the Jin soldiers we spied may be false soldiers."
Zhao Ning put away his sympathy.
Of course he sympathizes with the people of Yandi now, but just sympathizing is useless.
Now we must end the war as soon as possible and return the world to peace. This is the best solution.
Jin Wushu used such a bad method to recruit civilians to expand the number of his army again, just to disturb the eyes of the Song army's scouts.
For example, Zhao Ning's scouts detected [-] troops in Anci County. There may be [-] troops, but there may be only [-] regular troops that can fight.
In other words, it was spied that there was a large army marching quickly from Yanjing, walking on the eastern front, and the goal was Cangzhou. Looking at the footprints in the snow, it was preliminarily inferred that there were 20 troops.
In fact, there may be [-] regular troops, and a large number of the rest are forced to recruit indiscriminately.
As for how many people die on the road, who cares?
The main purpose was to alert the top Song army to the fact that the main force of the Jin people was preparing to attack Cangzhou.
But in fact, the real main elite target may be Zhending Mansion, or Bazhou.
In short, although Jin Wushu's method of sucking up the last blood of Yandi is cruel, it is actually useful.
Perhaps the intelligence accuracy of scouts will drop significantly.
"How is the situation in Yanjing?"
"The latest investigation found that a large number of elites have gathered, and scouts from Anci County have also frequently appeared in the Bazhou area. According to front-line information, Jin Wushu's confidant and favorite general Han Chang is stationed in Anci County. Such behavior may soon send troops to Bazhou."
While the monarch and his ministers were having a secret conversation, Wang Huaiji's voice came faintly from outside: "Officials, Mr. Sun has something to see."
Sun Fu?
What is he doing here at this time?
Could it be that Sun Fu couldn't bear it and wanted to go to the front line with his sword in hand?
Zhao Ning hesitated and said, "Let him in."
Sun Fu came over in a hurry and said, "I see the officials."
"Don't be too polite, what are you looking for?"
"The golden envoy is here."
"The golden envoy is here?" Zhao Ning turned to look at Sun Fu with some surprise in his eyes, "Which golden envoy?"
"It's Yanjing's golden envoy."
"Golden envoy of Jinwushu?" Zhang Jun on the side asked confirmingly.
"Yes, it's Jin Wushu's envoy, Xilin Helu, who has been sent to my Great Song Dynasty all these years. This person has a high status in Jin Wushu."
"Doesn't he know that the two countries are at war now?" Zhang Jun asked, "How dare he come to Hejian?"
"Xiaguan asked him the same thing at the time. He said he hoped Song and Jin could sit down and have a good talk. The previous ones were all misunderstandings, and King Wei is willing to seek peace."
"Peace?" Zhao Ning showed a smile on his face, "It's not about whether he wants to make peace or fight now."
"He is still, Jin Wushu is willing to submit to His Majesty."
Now Zhao Ning was even more shocked.
"Is this true?"
Sun Fu said: "This person is Jin Wushu's confidant, and he is also an envoy sent by the Jin Kingdom to our Great Song Dynasty many times. His status is very high among the Jin people. What he said will not be false. .”
"What he said can't be false, it doesn't mean what Jin Wushu told him is true."
While the three monarchs and ministers were talking in secret, Wang Huaiji's voice came from outside again: "Officials, Lu Xianggong has something to ask for an interview."
"Xuan."
Lu Yihao also hurried over.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Before Lu Yihao arrived, the voice had already arrived.
"Why is Lu Xianggong so broken?" Zhao Ning said with a smile, he rarely saw Lu Yihao so eager.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the north that Shangjing has issued an appeal against thieves, and Jin will send troops to attack Jin Wushu, a traitor from the Kingdom of Jin."
When Lu Yihao said this, he felt unreal.
However, this proclamation has already spread in Xijin Mansion.
The three monarchs and ministers in the backyard were all startled.
While speaking, Lu Yihao had already rushed over to deliver the report and several documents.
Zhao Ning took it and quickly read it.
Not only is the report so simple, but these documents are also the official residence report of the Xijin Mansion.
"This kind of appeal can actually be posted in some counties in Xijin Prefecture?" Zhang Jun was puzzled and surprised.
Lu Yihao said: "It is impossible for Jin Wushu to overwhelm the sky with one hand in Yanyun, and there must be someone who wants to oppose him in private."
No one can cover the sky with one hand.
The Qin Emperor and Han Wu, who were the most powerful back then, could not do it either. They used a lot of strict methods, and those who opposed them were still like crucian carp crossing the river.
