Chapter 89: Bleeding Night on New Year’s Eve (1)

"Woooooo!"

The sob cold wind blows, rolling up snowflakes all over the world. The dark sky is like a cage, giving people a sense of depression.

The weather was cold and the cold wind was raging, but it could not stop the enthusiasm of the soldiers. In the valley and in the woods, the soldiers of the Song army were free to eat war meals and drink horse breasts. The hot jerky meat and the hot horse breasts were drunk, making people feel warm from the inside out, as if they were carrying a small sun.

The soldiers ate jerky meat and drank horse breasts in big mouthfuls, showing a heroic spirit. This is a war meal and their New Year's Eve dinner. After this meal, they will embark on the journey to attack Zhuozhou, and they will fight the Liao army in Dada.

For Chinese men, there are many Chinese people in their lives. However, there is no such thing as this year that makes them happy, inspire and excited. Because this year is so special, it is spent in Yanyun, and it is their killing night, which is so special that a person may not meet one in his life.

Before the war, you can have a full meal and nourish your energy and get the strength when fighting. This is a must, but it is a trap. You can only eat 70% full, not too full. Otherwise, you can't even walk on the road, so how can you fight?

"I really want to take a few more bites!" A soldier looked at the jerky meat in his hand and hesitated whether to eat it again.

"If you want to eat, eat it. If you eat it secretly, no one knows it. If you don't say you're full, who knows?" A soldier next to him encouraged him.

"Forget it! I won't eat anymore! Such a big battle may not be able to catch up in three lifetimes. I can't violate military orders!" After a lot of inner struggle, the soldier finally put down the jerky meat: "It's the big day today, and after midnight, it's the main dan. I feel so energetic to enjoy the battle meal here! If I can't eat it, how great it would be! Hey, why don't you eat it anymore?"

"I'm full!" The soldier who encouraged him was very angry.

"Eat it! If you don't say you're full, no one will know!" The situation between the two of them turned upside down.

"Hmph! I won't know if you can abide by the military orders?" The soldier who was first instigated to him gave him a blank look and said, "I didn't get enough of the last robbery. If I missed this opportunity, I would regret it for the rest of my life! Isn't it just a piece of jerky meat? When I entered the Liao camp, let alone jerky meat, I can even roast all the lamb! Humph!"

This kind of war meal is very special. If you can eat full, it is really a pleasure. However, if you want to fight, you have to abide by military orders. There are many people like these two soldiers. Although you really want to eat happily, you are restrained.

After Wu Ji finished eating jerky, drinking horse breasts, wiping his mouth and burping, he enjoyed it very much. He looked at Wu Jian and Wu Xing who were dealing with jerky, and asked with a smile: "Are you nervous?"

"Not nervous!" Wu Jian's lips slit and he said, "That's a lie! It's a great honor to be able to participate in such a war in this life. If you are not nervous, it would be impossible! Brother Ji, are you nervous?"

"To be honest, I'm really a little nervous! But no matter how nervous it is, it's useless! What should I come, I'd better relax!" Wu Ji began to organize his equipment and said, "After eating, just organize his equipment! After resting for half an hour, we're going to do it!"

After a full meal, it is impossible to start the fight immediately. You need to rest for a while, usually half an hour is appropriate.

Of course, it is impossible to do nothing within this half hour. There are many things to do, such as checking equipment, which are essential homework before the war. There are also gathering teams, preparing to set off, etc.

Seeing that the time was almost over, Wu Ji ordered: "Get together!"

The military order was passed, and the Song army drove out of the valley from the woods and arranged in the open space. Soon, the assembly was completed. Looking at the dark Song army, Wu Ji did not conduct pre-war lectures, and this was no longer necessary.

Wu Ji rode a war horse and passed by the formation. Whenever he arrived at a military formation, the general would come out to report the situation. After Wu Ji finished the inspection, he was very satisfied and had no mistakes.

"What's going on in Zhuozhou?" Wu Ji asked Zhang Tong.

The Yanshanke had already rushed to Zhuozhou and was preparing to make a profit in the city. This was a big deal. The Yanshanke took action personally, and the contact matter was handed over to Zhang Tong.

"Report to the commander of Wu, Yelu Zhao is eating, drinking and feasting in the city, preparing for the New Year!" Zhang Tong's tone was a little high, and he said, "Damn Liao dogs have captured many people and women, and are doing their best!"

Since the last time the Song army plundered, the Liao army has been harsh on the people of Yanyun in order to retaliate. I don’t know how many women have been plundered. On this day of eliminating the old and welcoming the new, we will definitely insult them.

This was the most infuriating atrocities. Wu Ji was so angry that he took a breath, forced himself to calm down, and said, "We will avenge them!"

If we want to rescue these people, the sooner the Song army takes action, the better. However, that is not the best opportunity, and it will cause many casualties and injuries to the Song army. Although the soldiers had this intention, no one raised it.

"The guides have been sent down. There are three or five guides around each general!" Zhang Tong continued to report.

It is only thirty miles away from Zhuozhou. The Song army has war horses and will arrive in half an hour. However, if there is no guide, you may get lost. After all, you are marching in the dark, and you cannot tell the east, west, south and north.

"Very good!" Wu Ji focused his head, pulled out the sword of the captain, and shook his wrist, and a beautiful sword flower appeared. In the expectation of the soldiers, he shouted: "Brothers, let's go! The Liao Dog has roasted the whole sheep and simmered the horse's breasts. The hospitality Liao Dog is waiting for us to go to the banquet! We must not let the Liao Dog down!"

"Rumor!" The sound of thunderous hooves sounded, and the soldiers of the Song army drove towards Zhuozhou according to Wu Ji's deployment.

In the dark night, I saw a darkness, like a huge dark cloud, giving people a heavy sense of depression.

Bianjing is a lively scene.

Getting rid of the old and welcoming the new is a traditional Chinese festival. Whether in ancient times or modern times, whenever this festive day comes, we must celebrate it well.

Not to mention, this year was a year when the Song Dynasty was proud, which was of great significance to the Song people. First, the Guixin Army robbed the annual monies, and then the 80,000 Song troops went deep into the Liao territory to plunder, killing more than 81,000 Liao troops and seizing countless others, which has never been seen in the hundreds of years of Song-Liao wars.

As this wonderful year is about to pass, the joy of the Song people is fully released, and no matter what the world is, as long as there are Chinese children, they are celebrating.

As the capital, the festive atmosphere in Bianjing is the most warm. After a sumptuous dinner with his family, the people of Bianjing started festive activities.

In the Song Dynasty, there were not as many entertainment programs as we have now, which did not mean that there were no entertainment programs. On the contrary, there were many entertainment activities such as Guanpu, book club, visiting, and buying clothes...

After dark, the lights of thousands of families were illuminated as daylights. The people climbed up the streets and celebrated the day. Whether they knew each other or not, they would say hello, say hello, and say a few words of congratulations when they met.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Firecrackers sounded everywhere, one after another, and the whole city of Bianjing was boiling.

The palace was also very lively, with eunuchs, palace maids, and servants running around, busy preparing for the "Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting". The Zhongdan Grand Court Meeting is the beginning of the year and the first New Year's Day celebration. It must be grand and grand, and also have a festive atmosphere. Although the dynasty will handle major state affairs this time, there will be many people coming to participate and there are too many preparations.

Eunuchs, palace maids, servants, and imperial guards, all of them were filled with joy. Although they were hard, they were happy. In contrast to their joy, Song Shenzong in Jiying Hall had a cold face and a stern face, without any joy.

Shao Jiu saw the way Song Shenzong looked, and was surprised. After hesitating for a while, he asked: "Why is the official family like this? The official family is big today, so be happy!"

"Nonsense!" Song Shenzong was very angry and said, "If you can be happy, I still have any unhappy people? Can I be happy?"

"This..." Shao Jiu absolutely couldn't imagine why Song Shenzong could not be happy. At this moment, Wang Anshi came and asked to see Song Shenzong.

Shao Jiuyi looked at him and Wang Anshi was just like Song Shenzong. His face was cold, as if someone had owed him money and had not paid it back. He could not report to Shao Jiu, but only the voice of Song Shenzong came: "Jiefu, come in quickly!"

Wang Anshi responded and walked in quickly and was about to salute, but stopped Song Shenzong and asked hurriedly: "Jiefu, do you think, will it succeed?"

"This... the officials really don't know!" Wang Anshi really wanted to say that he would succeed, but he wouldn't believe what he said.

The attack on Zhuozhou has come to an end. At this time, it is a lie to be either nervous or nervous. This is related to the national destiny of the Song Dynasty and whether China can return to the top of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Who can not be nervous? Who dares not be nervous?

Even if he was raised by Taizu of Song underground, he would be extremely nervous when he was in such a situation.

"Hey!" Song Shenzong pointed at Wang Anshi and said angrily: "Jiefu, can't you say something nice to make me feel at ease? How can you speak like this?"

"The official family is not that I don't want to say it, but that I have said it. Will the official family believe it?" Wang Anshi stroked his forehead, looking anxious.

"Believe! You must believe it!" Song Shenzong took a long breath and said, "If I believe it, I will be deceiving myself!"

Although Song Shenzong wanted to hear good things, he still understood that it was just a self-deception. He sighed and said, "These two traitors actually made me very worried! I can't spare them!"

"Officials, we are just worried in Bianjing. They are fighting hard in Zhuozhou! Compared with them, what can we think about it?" Wang Anshi comforted him.

"Yes! I'm worried about something, and it's not the same thing as their desperate efforts!" Song Shenzong shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Officials, we can only wait for things! We can only let Tianyou Dasong!" Wang Anshi sighed, his anxiety increased a little: "We have done everything we should do! Whether we can succeed depends on God's will!"
