Chapter 183 The Great Song Dynasty is prosperous, let's fight here!!)
What is a desperate official?
When Zhao Ding heard this, his fat face was full of guilt!
Someone gave the Song Dynasty officials a nickname, and he also gave the nickname "Finished Official". How ugly! Although the current official family is not good at Taiping Emperor and always running around to fight with the Jin thieves, it cannot be said that he is a "Finished Official"!
If the Censor Zhang Jun knew about this, he would have to be impeached and arrested in the Censorate Prison for jail...
Zhao Ding was just empty, and a strong man in his forties had already lifted the chain and came in by himself.
The man wore a soft-footed, a purple robe with a narrow sleeve, a round neck, and a straight knife hanging on his waist. Although he was dressed as a military officer, the rash aura on his face could not be covered up. He knew at a glance that he had joined the feudal bureaucratic ranks.
Such a person... Qu Duan doesn't like it!
The military general of the Quduan family is still a relative of Zhao Kai. His son married the princess. One of his nieces is now a "female banzhi". I heard that he has been favored and is about to be promoted to a concubine.
How can a person like him look down on Niu Gao?
Yes, the person who came is Niu Gao. Unlike the novel, the real Niu Gao is an uncle who only makes a comeback in middle age and becomes a subversive life. He is about the same age as Zhao Ding and Qu Duan, and he is exactly forty years old this year.
At this age, Niu Gao is not young anymore, but Niu Gao is not an ordinary person! Although he is old, his figure is still as strong as a cow. His two arms are thicker than ordinary people's calves and a wide body. He walks with wind and his voice is like thunder.
"Prince, Taiwei Qu, the official family is here... Let you go and greet them together!"
Zhao Ding glared: "Niu Boyuan, what are you talking about? How can you fight to the death...? Fight to the death to the government?"
Before Niu Gao could find out that he had said the wrong thing, he was still yelling there: "It's really! There's really a desperate official... with thousands of cavalry, he went outside the camp. Will you go to welcome the horse?"
Zhao Ding wanted to continue to pester the matter of "fighting for the official family", but Qu Duan had already stood up suddenly: "Premier Zhao, Chief Niu Qian seems to say that the official family has arrived outside the camp!"
"Official family..." Zhao Ding couldn't believe his ears.
Niu Gao was already anxious and stomped his feet and said, "Yes, yes, Taiwei Qu said it right, the official family is here! He also brought three thousand iron cavalry... Oh, some of them looked like they were young ladies, all with white gauze and were struck with dozens of them! Our official family really can enjoy the happiness!"
Zhao Ding finally understood, "That's right, it must be the official family... where has the official family been?"
Niu Gao said: "Where can you go? Of course it is opposite the suspension bridge of Rushui floating bridge!"
Zhao Ding and Qu Duan are still very vigilant, but they dare not set up the camp on the north bank of Rushui. What if the Jin thieves come to attack?
There are more than 100,000 stones of grain, a large amount of forage, bean cakes, and various other materials here, so the thieves cannot be robbed.
So they set up the camp on the south bank of Rushui. In order to facilitate the exchange between the two banks of Rushui, they asked someone to build a floating bridge, and there was still a section in the middle of the floating bridge, and a suspension bridge was built to connect both sides. The bridge deck of the suspension bridge is usually pulled up, and it can only be put down with the orders of Quduan or Zhao Ding.
Zhao Kai came too fast along the way, and in order to keep it confidential, he did not inform all places along the way in advance - Zhao Kai has now used the "clarification technique", and there is also a black flag of Zhao Kai and a flag that recognizes "The mountains and rivers are dying, and the sun and the moon reopen the Song Dynasty"!
When Han Shizhong and Huang Wuji came out of the battle, they would still hold his black banner and recognize the flag!
Therefore, Zhao Kai’s true whereabouts must be kept as confidential as possible!
The reason for this is that Han Shizhong believes that as much food as possible should be transported to Luoyang - because last year's Great King consumed Jingxi Road, especially the accumulation of Henan Prefecture over the years. Therefore, the granaries of Henan Prefecture are empty. If they have to use troops in Hedong, Hanoi, or east of Luoyang, the supply of food will become a problem.
Fighting in these places where water transportation is inconvenient and food shortage is a bargaining chip for winning!
Therefore, while Zhao Kai was moving towards Ruzhou, Wang Yuan of Henan Prefecture also received an order to lead the Tiance Central Army to Yingyang to deploy defenses to prevent the Jin thieves from entering Yichuan west.
Han Shizhong hopes that Zhao Kai will command the troops and the civilians to transport as much food as possible to Yique Town upstream of Yichuan.
.........
The suspension bridge that blocked Zhao Kai for a long time was finally put down. Then Zhao Kai saw a group of officials in neatly uniforms leading their followers and soldiers, holding various flags and official signs, and rushing out of the gate of a large camp in chaos.
The three leading people, one is Qu Duan, and there is a fat man who is running very breathless. He wears the Scarlet Government, which should be Zhao Ding, and the other... is as strong as a cow, and is also very big! He is also wearing a purple robe of a warrior, and he looks like a tiger general! This person is not good at being a cavalry anymore. The war horses that can be obtained are too short now, so it looks pitiful to carry him on. But it is just right to be a general who takes the charge!
A group of officials finally arrived in front of Zhao Kai and then arranged shifts according to the size of the official position. Of course, Qu Duan was standing in front!
The dignified first-military commander and also served as the prefect of Dengzhou. The title of honor was appointed as the senior official, which was far beyond the reach of Zhao Ding, a civil servant.
The "tiger general" stood behind Zhao Ding, as if he was his subordinate.
Qu Duan, Zhao Ding, Niu Gao and others, plus dozens of civil and military officials, after they finished standing, dozens of throats opened together: "I welcome the official family! Long live, long live..."
Zhao Kai laughed loudly, got off the horse's back neatly, and then walked towards Qu Duan with big strides. Qu Duan bowed to Zhao Kai, and Zhao Kai reached out to support him, "Qu Zhengfu, I didn't expect to see me in Ruzhou, did you?"
While he was talking, he looked at Niu Gao with the corners of his eyes. This guy looked like a tough guy, and he used the materials here in Ruzhou... This emperor likes tough guys the most. Come and conquer the world with me!
Qu Duan smiled and replied: "Official family, I really didn't expect you to come here... I wonder what is important for the official family to come to Ruzhou?"
When Zhao Kai heard this question, his face had already sunk.
"I am the emperor on the horse. Why can I come to Ruzhou with 3,600 cavalry? Of course, I am going to start a war with the Jin thieves on the southern front! Wang Taiwei has already led his troops to Yingyang, and Li Taiwei's army is also coming to Liang County... Soon we can gather three armies near Ruzhou, and add some rural troops to assist in the war. The civilians will be strong, and the 50,000 or 60,000 troops will be gathered together!"
Are you really going to fight the Golden Thieves?
A group of civil servants and generals knew that something was going to be a bad thing after hearing this!
It’s not that he is afraid of going to war with the Jin thieves, but that he is afraid of being forced to fight by the “desperate official” Zhao Kai!
At this time, most of the troops on the southern line of the Zhongzhou battlefield were "miscellaneous" and were not Zhao Kai's direct descendants, so it was inevitable that they would "preserve" their strength. If there were tough battles, they would push them out if there were hard battles, and if there were advantages, they would take a little.
But the official family is here in person now, who can still run away?
Zhao Kai also felt that his morale was a little depressed, and it seemed that he, the chosen one, needed some encouragement.
So he opened his throat and shouted to the civil and military officials around him: "Your lords! You guys! The Song Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty, which is my own, but the Song Dynasty in the world with you and you! Not only are you all the masters, but all the soldiers here have a share... This is our Song Dynasty! We have to fight our best to protect this Song Dynasty. Only by protecting it can I give you official positions, honors, titles, and land!
Today, I can guarantee to all the soldiers who followed me to fight to the death with the Jin thieves, including the government soldiers, the village soldiers, the strong people, and the people that as long as we win... everyone will have a reward! Reward officials, money, and land!
As long as you make a contribution, no matter what your identity is, you can be granted according to the standards of the "Twelve Medals System"!
You guys, you are all in the Song Dynasty, and you will fight here! You must work hard with me!"
