The Korean-born soldier standing behind Cheng Ju suddenly cursed angrily. The reason was that the Duhufu had issued a strict order not to leak military aircraft. Who would have thought that this group of spineless compatriots and friendly soldiers, who neither thought about the country nor their family, would say anything to anyone when they were captured? It was really embarrassing for him to be in the company of this generation!
The matter did not end here. What made him feel dumbfounded was that when faced with the truth told by the Goryeo captives, his Jurchen actually didn't believe it!
I don¡¯t know if it was a blessing brought by the people of the Song Dynasty. In short, the people of Korea lied a lot and told the truth once in a while, but they became numb. So, things ended up like this. I really don't know whether I should be happy or ashamed.
However, the Korean army was clearly scolding the surrender of the Korean army, but the captives who were showing off to Cheng Ju did not know it. They thought that the Koreans on the opposite side were pretending to be powerful, and suddenly they heard the leader of the captives say angrily: "I am talking to others, you are barking." What?"
This army is not just an ordinary Goryeo coward. It is a soul forged by Shi Wengong, the famous dung bucket general of the Song Dynasty. How can you bear to hear this? Hearing this, there was a "swish" sound, and the soldier had already unsheathed his sword. He pointed the blade at the prisoner angrily and asked, "Who do you think is barking?"
"Sorry, sorry, I made a mistake!" The prisoner seemed to be frightened by the knife and suddenly changed his words. Seeing that he had given in, Paijun thought that this person, Cheng Xianggong, was still going to be interrogated, so he did not dare to cause trouble. He was about to put away his sword, but the prisoner was so stubborn that he said: "Of course you are not treating me as a dog, you are treating me as a son." It¡¯s addictive. Otherwise, why did Da Liaoye¡¯s father come in such a hurry just after he disappeared?¡±
"you!"
They say you don¡¯t slap someone in the face when you hit them, and you don¡¯t expose someone¡¯s shortcomings when you scold them. This sentence really touched people¡¯s hearts. What's more, the Korean people are currently in an awkward state of mind that can't be done in one or two generations in 20 or 30 years. At that time, I thought that the people of the Song Dynasty were absolutely righteous, but now I think it is inevitable that they are a little lacking in confidence.
If a person is not confident enough. If the guarantee is not complete, they will bluff, and the Koreans like to do this the most. pity. This time things have changed a bit. After all, this card army came from the Fanluo Army. At this time, there was no illusion at all. He was about to see red when he swung his sword. Unexpectedly, a figure suddenly stopped in front of him. The card army hurriedly stopped his hand and said angrily: "Ms. sir!"
It turned out that it was Cheng Ju who stood in front of the prisoner and said, "I know you are good, don't be like the prisoner! He can't kill you now!"
Since the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty has spoken. Can the Pai army still disobey orders? General Shi taught them the first serious Song proverb, which is "all actions follow the command." Whose command should I listen to, or the command of the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty? Paijun did not dare to disobey the husband in front of him, and angrily put away the knife, but said mercilessly:
"The ancestor Jizi of Goryeo came from the Central Plains, and we are not Dongyi! Now that we recognize our ancestors and return to our clan, we are justified! But you are such an unscrupulous son, and you are like a dog with the robbers who robbed your own house! To return one servant to two masters, kneel down first Khitan, vote for the Jurchens again! Where do you have the confidence to talk nonsense?¡±
Reveal each other¡¯s secrets. The scene will naturally not be harmonious. The leader of the captives, who had always been quite calm, was also ignited at this time, and he made a sound that was almost like a beast in his throat, if it were not for the fact that he was being served by five-flowered buns. I'm afraid that he will get up and fight against the Korean military commander.
Cheng Ju is a little confused, why are two people who have nothing to do with each other so hostile to each other? Later, he finally figured it out. Maybe it had something to do with the identity of these two people. One of them is a servant army of the Song Dynasty, and the other is a servant army of Jurchen. The problem probably lies here, they are all servants.
At present, the former is very satisfied with his identity, but the latter is probably just the opposite. Otherwise, he wouldn't be mocking and suggesting at the same time.
It¡¯s easy to handle if you¡¯re not satisfied with the status quo! Cheng Ju felt a little confused. At that moment, he tried to persuade him to surrender again: "Whether you believe it or not, this Korea is already under the control of the Andong Protectorate of the Great Song Dynasty. As long as you stay where you are, I will protect you from returning to your ancestral homeland, how about that?"
"My ancestors have been from Yanyun for generations, please don't worry about it, sir!"
The leader of the captives probably also felt that confronting the Koreans would undermine his identity. He took a long breath, raised his head and sarcastically said to Cheng Ju. Just when Cheng Ju secretly felt that this person's behavior was somewhat illogical, he heard this person say again: "Don't talk about these useful and useless things. What do you want to know? Just ask, I will tell you everything I know!"
Cheng Ju saw that this man's conversation didn't sound like he was just an idle person. He wanted to find out his identity, but he didn't know that this man wouldn't reveal even a single word except his place of origin. Cheng Ju had the patience to continue grinding, but he was afraid that the other party would be impatient, so he had no choice but to stop. Before the other party turned against him, he got back to the point and said, "How many Jurchens are here?"
When the leader of the captives asked the question, he showed an expression of "This is right" and immediately said with a straight face: "You should ask Jin GuoHow many people were there! "
"Is there any difference?" Cheng Ju asked a question that most people in the Song Dynasty would ask in this era.
The prisoner chuckled and said: "If you just ask how many Jurchens have come, I can tell you that their number is very small. When they first went south, there were only three thousand horses, and two groups of people came in midway, totaling two thousand people. Team, the total is only 5,000 cavalry at the moment!¡±
so little? !
Cheng Ju looks at the savages under the city every day. Who knows that the authentic Jurchens among them only have 5,000 riders! ? Cheng Ju couldn't help but frowned in the Chinese character "Chuan". Just when he was about to find out the details of the enemy from the prisoner's mouth, the other party spoke again: "If you ask how many people came from the Kingdom of Jin, they would be old and young! I'll tell you. , in addition to the Jurchens, the Bohai people alone came with 7,000 cavalry, the Xi people also came with 5,000 cavalry, and the Khitan cavalry was the most numerous, with 8,000 cavalry! Finally, we, the Han people who are at the bottom of everything, just arrived! At that time, there were only 14,500, but now, a full 10,000 is enough!"
"You only mentioned the casualties of the Han army!" Cheng Ju reminded.
"Only the Han army suffered casualties. What do the others say to me? You son of a bitch has never been on the battlefield!" As if being stabbed in his anger hole again, the prisoner suddenly exploded. After finally suppressing the evil fire on their own, the captives' eyes subconsciously fell on the Koreans who were pinching each other just now. This bird man was so loyal, it seemed that the Song people did not abuse them.
Through this conversation, which he originally didn¡¯t have much hope for, Cheng Ju finally understood the fact that among the golden people, the status of the Han people seemed to be the lowest. He was almost treated as a fill-in by the Jurchens. But even so, this person still refused to surrender, which Cheng Ju found very incredible. And asked angrily: "Then why are you still following them wholeheartedly?"
"I just follow the winner, otherwise. I would have been a withered skeleton on the grassland that no one buried. Nowadays, there are thousands of people like me in the Jin Kingdom. Like me, they may not like the Jurchens, and some even Hate them, but they can only follow this invincible pack of wolves, otherwise, they will become the prey of the wolves in the blink of an eye. People like us never have any choice, just like we didn't want to choose the Khitan people at all. Same!" At this point, a burst of anger appeared in the captive's eyes, as if he wanted to burn out the incarnation of the motherland in front of him:
"Surrender to you? The Han Dynasty wiped out the Xiongnu, and the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks. It's your turn to send money and pay tribute, and you and the Khitan became the Southern and Northern Dynasties. How about two brothers? Now you have the nerve to surrender me for your coward country. ? I'm telling you! It can take as little as one or two days, or as long as three or five days, if the Han army can't take the city again, you will be honored to experience the treatment of the Jurchens! With the Jurchens¡¯ bloodthirsty and cruelty, you will know why we can¡¯t resist him no matter how much we hate him!¡±
"And you will become the most humble slave under the Jurchens, with the same price as cattle and sheep, and you are not even qualified to go to the battlefield!" While venting their grievances against Song officials, the captives did not forget to attack the Koreans.
"In that case, why are you telling me this?" Cheng Ju asked calmly, looking into the captive's eyes: "Because you hate them?"
"You are very smart! Maybe, the Jurchens will suffer a little in your hands, I don't know!" The prisoner suddenly laughed, but the laughter was full of sadness. After a while. The prisoner stopped, with a complicated look on his face. Staring at Cheng Ju, he said word by word: "Jurchens, come up, put away your swords and guns. Use hammers and sticks to hit him!"
"Will they abandon their cavalry and attack the city on foot?" Cheng Ju was keenly aware of the changes in the prisoners and asked.
"Before they became qualified riders, they were all excellent hunters. What does it mean to abandon their horses and fight on foot?" the captive leader sneered.
"Then why do I give up cutting, slashing, and stabbing, and use smashing weapons? Becausethey have thick armor?" Although Cheng Ju was a civil servant, he had a strong battlefield awareness.
"When I was with the army to conquer the Jurchens, Prime Minister Zhang Lin allowed us to take armor and weapons from the storehouse in order to win the battle. The 100,000-strong army almost emptied the storehouse, and I didn't take any less at that time. But look at it now Let me look at my brothers, how many of them are wearing armor?" There was a hint of admiration in the captive's eyes. The most direct manifestation of this goodwill is that the captive revealed the truth more thoroughly:
"You won't know if you don't tell me. In fact, the Jurchens are very afraid of death. But their fear of death is completely different from the fear of death that you Song people understand. You Song people are afraid of death because they are greedy for life, but they are not. On the contrary. , They are brave and good at fighting, and they will never give up until they achieve their goals! However, they cannot afford the price of death, because there are too few Jurchens to withstand their aggressive nature, so they are born with it. Thick and sturdy armor has an extraordinary preference, because these things can make them more vulnerable to prey.Show your true nature without reservation! "
"Do you have anything else to say?" Cheng Ju became calmer after hearing Echigo, and there seemed to be huge power dormant in his calm tone.
After a period of silence, the prisoner raised his head and said: "Don't expect to surrender. You are the first city that has blocked the army for seven days. They will definitely massacre the city in the end. By then, all the defenders will be executed and all residents will become slaves. Don't Have no illusions, because you are the source of their fighting spirit! If the Jurchens want to continue to be invincible, you are destined to be victims!"
Cheng Ju turned around and glanced at his personal follower Pai Jun with mixed doubts. At this time, Pai Jun's eyes no longer looked at the captives with the hatred he had just seen. When he noticed the protagonist's eyes glancing towards him, Paijun nodded with a complicated expression.
"Untie the rope!" Cheng Ju made up his mind.
¡°No, sir!¡± Everyone was frightened and advised.
"Let him go!" Cheng Ju's tone showed unquestionable majesty, "Send him out of the city, I want to make a deal with the Jurchens!" (To be continued.)
