Chapter 31: Divine soldiers descended from heaven into Xiangzhou City When the floating castle "Third New Tokyo" approached in the wind, the Song army stationed in Xiangzhou did not notice the arrival of this uninvited guest at all.
The setting sun at dusk falls on the ancient city wall, reflecting a mottled halo.
The smoke from cooking pots swayed over the city, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Xiangzhou City under the dusk is so quiet and peaceful, and there are not many traces of the cruelty of war.
Although the continuous wars between the Jin and Song Dynasties had caused terrible damage to the rich countryside of Hebei, the Jin army marched straight in every time they went south and never limited themselves to fighting for one city or one place.
Therefore, the largest battle among Hebei states was Several cities, as long as they are not on the attack route of the Jin army, are basically intact for the time being.
Although in the words of the Bianliang court master and the scholar-bureaucrats, these places are already considered occupied areas.
Therefore, many of the Song Army soldiers stationed in Xiangzhou have not really seen the Jin soldiers until now.
Their combat effectiveness and discipline cannot be expected.
Although the soldiers on the top of the city are still standing guard, they are basically They were already whispering or dozing off.
On the tower of the south gate of Xiangzhou, several Forbidden soldiers wearing light paper armor and holding long guns were rubbing their hands in the cold wind and chatting with each other.
No one noticed the floating castle at the end of the sky.
At this time, the floating city was still there.
It's too far away.
From the top of the city, it's just an inconspicuous black dot.
And limited to the knowledge of the people of the Song Dynasty, they had no idea that anyone would come from the sky.
"Alas, Old Man Zhang sneaked away to Widow Liu's shop down below to have fun, leaving us to suffer in the cold wind here."
"What can I do?
Who made that guy's niece become Captain Wang's concubine Erhu?
Give me a mouthful of wine to burp.
In this damn weather, I really can't stand it without a few sips.
The coldness has penetrated into my bones."
Fortunately, the control here is loose."
"Hehe, I think besides drinking, you must also want to find a woman to have fun with.
I haven't been to Yihongyuan for almost a month.
I wonder how that bitch Xiao Taohong is doing now.
She's wearing a skirt.
Isn’t the talk inside more relaxed?”
Seeing that it was time to change shifts, the garrison soldiers gathered in several circles on the city wall, drinking and chatting idly.
After taking a few sips of wine, they began to casually complain about recent troubles, and then the topic gradually changed.
When it comes to women, all kinds of naughty jokes and pornographic jokes keep coming, making the atmosphere more and more heated.
Although everyone still lowers their voices to prevent the conversation from being heard by some people who should not hear it, the atmosphere has indeed changed. was instigated.
And some people who shouldn't hear it have actually heard it Looking at these forgetful guys, the cavalry soldiers who had just been punished and sent to patrol the city were all shaking their heads.
They had no choice but to shake their heads helplessly and melancholy, then turned around and looked at the snow-covered wilderness outside the city wall, exhaling a large cloud of white. of moist mist.
Although he was very dissatisfied with the slack style of his colleagues, Yue Fei also knew that the reason why they were so emboldened and openly deserted their posts was because the main force of hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers were wiped out in ashes at the foot of Bianliang City, which made the Jin invaders in Song Dynasty The soldiers are almost empty.
The last Jurchen field legion is still thousands of miles away in the old Liao and Yanjing areas.
It is impossible to attack Xiangzhou in a short time.
Therefore, although there are constant wars in Hebei, it is actually the Song people who are killing the Song people, and there are almost no Jurchen Tatars.
Those small groups of "rebels", or bandits, who were active in the wilderness, at best, dared to show their power in villages and small towns that lacked defense power, and occasionally robbed the transport teams of the Jin Army and the Song Army.
But in Xiangzhou City, which has tens of thousands of soldiers, no bandit dares to offend.
Since Xiangzhou was safe, the defenders, who had been tense for a long time, naturally relaxed a lot.
Now being forced by his superiors to defend the city wall in the wind and snow has already made their boss dissatisfied.
If military discipline is to be as strict as it was during the war, and severe punishments are often imposed, believe it or not, before we get tattoos on our faces, we can pack up our luggage and go home, and we won’t serve you big bosses anymore.
In the Song Dynasty, which valued civility over military affairs, unless there was really no other way, which seven-foot-tall man would be willing to humiliate himself as a soldier?
After sighing at the neglect of his colleagues' duties, Yue Fei sadly recalled his ups and downs these days.

He is from Tangyin County in Xiangzhou.
He was originally a villager of the Han family in Xiangzhou.
His family has been farming for generations and has a humble status.
There has never been any great person in the past.
But Yue Fei has been extremely talented and powerful since he was a child.
He can shoot a three hundred kilogram bow and an eight-stone crossbow.
He also apprenticed under the famous archer Zhou Tong.
I want to join the army to serve my country and gain fame on the battlefield.
However, Yue Fei's journey to join the army was not smooth.
Counting this time, he has joined the army three times and had no choice but to go home twice.
The first time was that his unit was cut and demobilized.
As a new soldier, Yue Fei had to demobilize and return home.
Home; the second time was when the army station was captured by the Jin army.
He fought his way out of the siege amidst the chaos and finally escaped back to Tangyin's hometown.
Later, someone recruited troops in Xiangzhou.
Yue Fei was already disheartened and wanted to live in his hometown forever.
But his old mother strongly urged him to try again and tattooed the four words "Serve the Country with Loyalty" on his back as a commendation.
This time, Yue Fei's luck seemed to have improved a little: as soon as he joined the army, he was valued by his superiors because of his excellent shooting skills, and was selected into the relatively respected cavalry unit, and he also got involved with a "city guard".
The small official position of "head".
But before he could find any opportunity to show off his martial arts, his troops moved into Xiangzhou to accept the reorganization of the Hebei Military Marshal's Mansion.
Yue Fei's immediate boss also changed.
Not long after, the upright Yue Fei was arrested because of his rude words.
He contradicted his new boss and was pushed to the city wall to enjoy the cold wind.
Such a humiliating punishment certainly made Ma Jun's colleagues laugh.
But although Yue Fei is not very old, he has encountered a lot of ups and downs over the years, and his character has been polished to be very stable, so he does not take it seriously and takes it calmly.
What really worried him right now was the next move of the tens of thousands of troops gathered in Xiangzhou.
Although it is hard to believe, the Jin soldiers who went south to the Central Plains were indeed destroyed on the outskirts of Bianliang.
However, the Hebei Military Marshal's Mansion, which has completed its mission, seems unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history.
Instead, it is more actively recruiting troops to expand its strength, and there is a faint tendency to separatist forces.
But anyone with a little knowledge can see that no matter which emperor is sitting in the Bianliang Palace, he will not allow such an army with tens of thousands of soldiers to exist in Xiangzhou, which is close to the capital and across the river. , a large vassal town with jurisdiction over thousands of miles.
Not to mention that the person in charge of this feudal town is also a prince of the royal family, so he naturally has a certain legal rationality for succession.
If there is any more collusion with the same party in the palace, it will immediately become the biggest threat to the throne of the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, in order to deal with the suspicion of Bianliang and the possible reduction of the vassal, some of the latest military strategies introduced by Xiangzhou, such as sending rangers to scout, setting up beacon towers, etc., are obviously to guard against the Bianjing court in the south, rather than to guard against the Bianjing court in the south.
Although the Jurchens entrenched in the north, King Kang Zhao Gou and his party members still chanted the anti-Jin slogans loudly, they could not stand up to the fact that there were many discerning people in the world who could see the current situation clearly.
In fact, there have been undercurrents and discussions among the armies stationed in Xiangzhou these days.
Many people spoke eloquently behind the scenes, and swore that King Kang would cross the river and send troops to attack Bianliang in the name of "incompetence, humiliating the country, and imprisoning his father unfilially" and usurping the throne by force.
Well, it seems that someone in the past said the truth: "The emperor, he who has a strong army and strong horses will do it himself."
But the problem is that we are no longer in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties when the emperors took turns.
The rules of monarchs and ministers, etiquette and ethics have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
If King Kang really had the evil intention of usurping the throne by force, he would not only have to bear the infamy pointed out by thousands of people in the world, but also Or should we make a corner of the world as our enemy?
No matter how we look at it, there is no possibility of victory.
At the moment, although Yue Fei was a bit reluctant to part with the position of the commander of the cavalry army he had just obtained, he still secretly made up his mind.
If King Kang really wanted to risk the disapproval of the world and raise troops in Xiangzhou to usurp the throne, then he would never covet anything to support him from the dragon. work, but He would think of a way to run away as soon as possible, otherwise he would be sorry for the four characters "Serve the country with loyalty and loyalty" tattooed on his back by his mother.
Although his Tangyinyue family has been humble for generations, it is also an innocent family.
Even if it cannot produce a big shot, it cannot be born.

What a traitor Is it just the third time in my life to join the army, will it end like this?
There is really no way to serve the country, and all the martial arts skills that I have worked so hard to cultivate have been wasted.
Thinking of this, Yue Fei couldn't help but sigh quietly, and at the same time accidentally turned his head and glanced into the air.
Then, as if he saw Medusa's eyes, his whole body became "petrified".
God, what did he see?
A castle, a majestic castle with a golden appearance, is approaching Xiangzhou City from the air oshow7:
