Chapter 196 The real heroes go to the national disaster together
After a meal, Grandma Dao returned to the study without even drinking tea and wrote a letter, which made people send it to Gongzhou Prefecture in a hurry, telling the story of the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou that Wang Kui, the prefect of Hanzhou, and informing Peng Daya, the deputy commander-in-chief of Sichuan military affairs.
As soon as the sender was sent out, a close confidant came in quickly and reported an astonishing news.
Wang Kui wants to lead his troops out of the city.
"What?!" Grandmaster said in shock and anxious. The Mongolian army was approaching outside. Wang Kui didn't stay in the city to help defend the city. Was he rushing to die?
"What did he do when he goes out of the city? When the enemy is in front of him, he should work together to gather troops to defend the city!" He jumped and almost ran out.
He first went straight to the inn where Wang Kui settled. When he asked the door, Wang Kui had never been there at all. He turned around and went straight to the prefecture yamen, but unexpectedly he happened to run towards the state halfway, and he ran towards him in a daze. When he saw the grand master from afar, he raised his voice and shouted: "Sir, Sir! It's not good!"
Grandmaster Dao's heart was hanging a little more, and he asked with his trembling lips: "What? What happened?"
"Mr. Wang Kui just took his men and forced Xiaguan to go to the Guanjian with him. He picked up a lot of weapons, armor, firearms, rice and grain, and said that he would withdraw them first and then go to complete the procedures later." Don't be pale and panting. The Guanjian was very far away from here, so he probably ran all the way back: "Xiaguan originally wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist the large number of them. He was holding a knife and holding a gun. If he didn't go, he would come over and report to the adults as soon as they left."
Grandmaster almost cursed. Wang Kui was too much! Do you really think this is Hanzhou? Do whatever you want. Although the grade is higher than yourself, you can't do it indiscriminately!
He stomped his foot and asked anxiously: "Where has he gone?"
Don’t stretch out your hand and point to the west gate of the city: “He took the things and headed towards the west gate, as if he was about to leave the city!”
Grandmaster Dao gritted his teeth and turned around and was about to get into the sedan chair to chase him. After thinking about it, he simply lifted the hem of the official robe, clamped it on the belt around his waist, took out his energy to run, led a few official sects, and ran to the west gate.
Through the streets and alleys, many people rarely saw the strange scene of their parents running wildly on the streets. They were amazed that Lord Zong was walking like flying and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
When we arrived at the west gate, we saw the deputy general of the wing army who was in charge of defense here standing silly by the city gate and looking out the door.
"Where is Lord Wang?!" The Grand Master said almost roaring, and his saliva splashed on the deputy general's face.
The deputy general looked at him ignorantly and wiped his face and said, "Just go out just now."
Grandmaster stomped his feet again, stood at the city gate with heartache and looked out, and saw that on the dusty road, there was no trace of Wang Kui, except for the people who fled outside and entered the city.
"How many people did he take?" Grandmaster said with a glimmer of hope and turned around and asked the deputy general. If he had the eyes to kill people, he had killed this innocent deputy general countless times: "Didn't he take all his soldiers away?"
The deputy general was frightened by his eyes and took a step back. He didn't understand why the magistrate was anxious, so he stammered: "All, all have left, more than a thousand people, and no one left."
Maybe suddenly remembered something, the deputy general slapped a fierce slap and said hurriedly: "Sir, Lord Wang said that he will not be able to go there for a long time, and may be back in two or three days. At that time, please open the door for him and lend it to the government office. He will report it to the commander of the government and return it all."
"Return?" Grandmaster said, with a depressed shoulder, lost his spirit, and looked outside the city, shook his head and said, "Forget it, for a pity, the more than a thousand elite soldiers who have experienced the bloody battle in Hanzhou. It's a big deal to go or not. What else can I expect from him!"
He shook his head, as if he forgot to stop, and just shook it while turning back sadly.
A few miles away from Hezhou, Wang Kui's team was moving rapidly.
The soldiers who stayed in the city without a single day returned to the wilderness did not understand what their chief was doing.
But it is the duty to be a soldier to eat food and obey orders. Just follow it and ask so much about what to do.
In fact, it was not just ordinary soldiers, and Wang Kui's deputy generals did not understand what Wang Kui was pouring into his gourd.
After leaving the city, Wang Kui ordered the entire army to march towards Jianzhou along the way.
"Go to Jianzhou?" The generals were shocked. They thought that Wang Kui had a conflict with the magistrate here, so they robbed someone else's warehouse and ran away. Unexpectedly, Wang Kui was going to go back.
Isn’t it just a matter of hitting the Mongols head-on when going to Jianzhou?
What did Lord Wang think?
"Sir, why do you want to go to Jianzhou?" A brave man asked cautiously: "The city walls of Jianzhou are broken, and the people in the city have escaped. There is no way to guard them. There is no point in going there."
"We won't go into the city." Wang Kui held the knife and strode, his eyebrows and eyes full of determination: "We are going to find someone!"
"Look for someone?"
All the generals were stunned, who were you looking for?
"Look for the soldiers of Xuzhou, find the deputy defensive envoy who is ignorant of the importance of the matter!"
"A group of barbarians who ran out of the valley know how to sacrifice their lives for their country. Are we, the children of scholars who read sages, not as good as barbarians?" Wang Kui didn't look back and walked quickly as if he had stepped on a hot wheel: "The soldiers of Xuzhou are not afraid of death, and we cannot be afraid of death! According to the duties, I am the prefect of the Hanzhou Prefecture of the Song Dynasty, and should have lived and died with the city. Now that the city is broken and people are there, it is dereliction of duty! According to ethics, we are all soldiers of the Song Dynasty. We hold sharp blades but dare not kill the enemy, and we cannot resist the enemy with a strong shield. We are afraid of war! We have dereliction of duty and war. What are the faces we have to hide behind the barbarians and live a life of silence?"
His words were spoken firmly, making everyone blush when they heard them, but when they thought it was the reason, the words were ugly.
Everyone survived by rolling in the sea of blood in Hanzhou. Life and death were just a thought, and they no longer missed this body of skin. They lived for one breath.
Wang Kui's tall figure as tall as a mountain led the way, and the generals followed closely. Wang Kui's purpose and the passage just now were passed down intact, and thousands of people soon knew it.
We are going to fight the Mongols desperately!
We can't let the barbarians underestimate us!
They dare, so do we!
The barbarians have never read the books of sages and know that they are loyal to their country. Are we not as good as them?
"Let's go with Lord Wang! No one can be a coward!"
The soldiers with blood stains on their armor were excited, and the soldiers' blood was boiling in an instant.
These soldiers were brought out by Wang Kui. There were soldiers of any general or officer. Wang Kui was so stubborn that he couldn't pull them back. These soldiers were also stubborn and would not recognize anyone.
Biggest death!
What else are you afraid of if you are not afraid of death?
The people who escaped from various prefectures and counties and walked on the official road toward Hezhou were surprised to see a group of tiger eyes and pupils blew fire in the Song Dynasty, running by against the crowd, with murderous aura.
There were many disastrous Song soldiers mixed in the crowd. Seeing these peers, they shook their heads secretly, sighed, and then became secretly happy, glad that they were not in one of these unlucky guys.
