Chapter 10 Gong County
Gongxian is the key to the two capitals’ post roads. From Kaifeng Prefecture to the west, we are divided into two routes here. One way to the north, one way to Mengzhou, cross the Yellow River to Hedong, and the other way to Henan Prefecture. In the past, during the peacetime period, there were cars and horses on the post road, and the Luo River next to it.
The sails are like clouds.
It was almost evening, and Wang Xiaoli and his men arrived outside Gong County.
Looking at the broken city walls and the open city gates, no one could see a figure, as if it was a ghost domain. After a while, Wang Xiao hunted down: "Gongxian County is the most prosperous nearby. It is the key to the two capitals' post roads.
The city is close to the Luo River, and countless people pass by here every day. Why can’t anyone see it today? It’s such a dead place?”
Yang Shen sighed: "Little Sheren, the Jin soldiers in the nearby city have been coming and going several times, killing people like a slaughter. Where is there anyone?"
Wang Xiaoli nodded without saying a word. The destruction of the Jin soldiers was much more serious than he had imagined before. The people in this area were not killed, but the population loss was very large. Some fled into the mountains, while others
Some of them died tragically, and some were captured by the Jin people and headed north. The more prefectures and counties there were, the less people there were. Without decades, it was difficult to see the prosperity here again.
In fact, in history, the rebel army, the Song army, the Jin army, and the pseudo-Qi have been in the Central Plains for more than ten years. In addition, the Jin people deliberately moved the population northward, and a large number of unmanned areas appeared. Until Yue Fei was twelve tragedies
The gold medal was recalled and Song and Jin negotiated peace, and it was slowly recovered.
As soon as the horse reins were mentioned, Wang Xiaoli was about to enter the city. Shao Ling said, "What is the situation in the city? Everything is unknown. Please wait a moment. I will take a few soldiers in and see what the situation is."
Wang Xiaoli nodded. He was careless and the situation in the city was unknown, so why did he lead the army into the city?
Shao Ling brought more than a dozen soldiers and came out of the city shortly after entering the city. He came to Wang Xiaoli with his hands crossed: "Little Sergeant, there is nothing unusual in the city. But the people have fled, only a few dozen
The family looks a little deserted."
Wang Xiaoli nodded: "No matter how lonely it is, it is always better than us outside. The army enters the city together and rest in the city tonight!"
Everyone said promise.
As soon as we entered the city gate, we saw more than a dozen people coming out. We arrived in front of Wang Xiao’s hunting army and knelt down together.
Wang Xiaolie was startled and asked Shao Ling beside him: "Who are these people? What are they doing?"
Shao Ling said: "Xiaosheren, there are only dozens of households in the city now. These are recommended by them to welcome the army into the city."
Wang Xiaolei said: "Let them get up. By the way, let those who speak in them have a lot of weight and come to see me in the evening."
These people came to greet each other, and they should have prepared wine and meat. Only with wine and meat could they reward the army. However, in Gongxian Town, it was too difficult to find some meat to eat. When they were about to cook, Wang Xiaoli came too urgently and could not wait for the meal.
Crazy.
When he arrived in front of the county yamen, Wang Xiaoli saw that the gate of the yamen had disappeared, and most of the windows were broken, so he shook his head. Last winter, the city was out of order, and even the yamen was almost demolished.
After entering the county government office, going back to change his clothes, Wang Xiaoli returned to the front hall.
Wang Zhong stepped forward and said, "Xiaosheren, the elders in the city are waiting outside. I wonder if they want them to come in?"
Wang Xiaoli said: "Let them come in. Fortunately, we have to rely on Ding Jin to help us, and we can still have food. If we can't raise food, we will go hungry. Although this place is dilapidated, we can raise some military food.
.”
Soon after, six people came in and greeted the hall.
Wang Xiaoliu ordered them to get up, set up a seat next to them for them to sit, and brought tea.
After asking for tea, Wang Xiao hunted: "When Wang Xiao hunted, the people of Ruzhou. When the Jin people surrounded Kaifeng Prefecture, their father raised an army to help the king and summoned these troops. A few days ago, the Dingdu, the capital city, received the military order of the Marshal Zong.
, together with the Han general, led troops to attack Luoyang, and I came here with him."
A middle-aged man heard this and bowed, "Today, there were indeed soldiers passing Gong County, saying that it was the Dingdu patrol in the capital. I heard that there were Jin soldiers chasing them, but they did not enter the city, so they went straight."
Wang Xiaolien nodded: "I think so. Early this morning, a group of Jin soldiers caught up with us, and Ding Du Xun retreated."
The outsider said, "The Jin soldiers behind did not chase them to the city, and no one saw the Jin people. I originally thought that Ding Du Xun was talking nonsense, but he just didn't dare to fight."
Wang Xiaoliu said: "How could there be a fake? The Jin army went back in the afternoon and met us. Fortunately, his brothers used their lives to capture them in one fell swoop! They were taking their heads and going to Kaifeng Prefecture to receive a reward.
Woolen cloth."
After hearing this, there was a burst of exclamation below. Several officials sitting on both sides, looking at me, and I looked at you, but they couldn't believe it. After a while, the official official bowed and said, "General,"
This is true? In the past two years, the Jin people have been everywhere and unstoppable! If the general made such great contributions, it would have been unprecedented."
Wang Xiaoli smiled: "How can this be fake? The heads of the Jin people are all in the army and are going to Kaifeng Prefecture to meet the marshal Zong."
The official added a bonus: "For many days, I finally heard of a victory! I will not hide it from the general, from the Jin army to the south, we are just seeking life in death. How prosperous was in Gongxian County, now there are several more households
I’m the young man doing business here, there is a restaurant and two quality shops, which is a good life. In just one or two years, the property has disappeared and the family has been scattered. Today is just waiting to die.”
The other members of the staff said it was together. Some of them stayed here, some of them hid, some of them ran fast, and some of them shyly and humiliated, so they survived. They were not lucky, and they were not killed by the Jin people, and they were also killed by the Jin people.
People abducted them. Everyone hated the Jin people so much that they were itchy. Suddenly, they heard that Wang Xiaoliu had won the battle, and they were overjoyed.
After sighing for a while, the former official said, "Since we have made such great contributions, our local area should prepare a celebration banquet. However, Gong County was hit by war several times, and the city committee really had no food. Please wait a moment, let's send a few people
Go out of the city, at least buy some.”
Wang Xiao Lieqi said: "Is there no in the city and can you still buy it when you leave the city?"
The official gave up his hands helplessly: "In this year, if there is a way, who can live in the city? The Jin people can't go to those remote places, and there are some good and bad things. Let's all gather together and we can always make some money.
You can't treat the general unfairly."
Wang Xiaoli said: "If you don't talk about wine and meat, the most important thing is food. We came from Kaifeng and fought a war with the Jin people. The army was short of food. There were hundreds of miles to Kaifeng Prefecture, and the place was already broken and there was no
Food is difficult to deal with."
Several officials discussed in a low voice and said, "Let's send someone to look around and try to get together."
The Jin soldiers came to attack, of course, in lively places such as counties, cities and towns. In remote mountainous areas, the Jin soldiers could not run so far. After the war, the original remote places gathered population and supplies. There were no local people.
