Chapter 221: Saving Yourself from Drowning (Part II)
It turned out that not long after Ah Guluhu walked out of the door, he happened to meet Zong Bi on patrol. Wanyan Zongbi asked why Ah Guluhu came, and after hearing this, he sneered: "Yang Kaiyuan's courtesan? Then he commanded that the men should be brought out and seen.
Zhou Xiaochang and others could resist, and was brought to Zong Bima, Zhou Xiaochang wanted to intercede, but Wen Tiaoyu had already taken a step forward and said: "Fourth prince, I am the third general's person!" But where is the prince going to take me? She was emotionally weak, but in the face of Zong Bi, she dared to speak like this, even Zhou Xiaochang was surprised when she saw it on the side, and Tangerine saw it next to her, and she was even more impressed: "Father and brother were also restless when they heard the word Jin Bing, and Sister Wen dared to speak like this to this Jin general." If I can be as brave as Sister Wen, maybe ...... Maybe ......"
Zong Bi saw that Wen Tiaoyu dared to speak to him, although the Jurchen was not very fluent, but a righteous spirit made people dare not insult, and said with a smile: "I didn't really believe that you were Yang Kaiyuan's person, but now I believe it." Then he asked, "I heard that you came here to learn singing and dancing, but have you succeeded?" ”
Wen Tiaoyu said: "The singing and dancing have not yet been learned, but the teacher has died under the knife of the Dajin soldiers." ”
This sentence was very sharp, and Zong Bi laughed when he heard it: "So you have nothing to learn in Bianliang." ”
Wen Tiaoyu's face changed slightly, and he had heard Zong Bi say: "Then let's go back to Dajin with the prince." I sang and danced all the way, and when you pass by Liaokou, Prince Ben will naturally send you back to your three generals! ”
Wen Tiaoyu said loudly: "Wen Tiaoyu's song and dance are only danced for the three generals. ”
Zong Bi was furious, and Zhou Xiaochang hurriedly came to the peace field and said: "Fourth prince, this Wen girl has a bad temper, even if she is the third general, she will collide." But the three generals also valued her more because of this. Wait for me to persuade her, persuade her. ”
Then he made his eyes and asked Wen Tiaoyu not to be too tough, but Zong Bi didn't care about so much, and shouted: "You said that you only sang and danced for Yang Kaiyuan!" Hmph, I just want you to sing and dance for me! Come on, take away! ”
Several soldiers surrounded him, and Zhou Xiaochang hurriedly stretched his arms to protect the soldiers from pushing him, shouting: "Miss Wen will go by herself, she will go!" He said to Wen Tiaoyu again: "Miss Wen, don't make it too difficult for Xiaochang." ”
Wen Tiaoyu sighed and said, "Okay, let's go." Anyway, sooner or later, I'll have to go back to southern Liaoning, so it's fine. ”
In March and April of 1678, after several months of harassment in the Central Plains, the Jin soldiers, who had no one around, finally divided their ways: Zong Han coerced Zhao Huan to cross the Yellow River from Jiangzhou, Jinzhou, Fenzhou, and Taiyuan to Datong, and Zong Wang coerced Zhao Ji to set off from the East Road to Hebei, and the two sides agreed to meet in Yanjing.
Zong Wang opened the road with elite soldiers all the way, and the defenders of the Great Song Dynasty who had not been defeated along the way did not dare to beat his edge. Zong Ze led his troops to Huazhou, went to Liyang, and went to the Daimyo, wanting to cross the river and strangle the Jin people to return. As a result, Zhao Gou's reinforcements did not arrive, and King Qin's division was nowhere to be found. Zong Ze's troops were thin and he didn't dare to advance lightly, and suddenly remembered that Cao Guangbi was coming, and immediately sent a dead soldier to Shangdang to invite Cao Guangbi to attack left and right. Half a month later, the news came, and it turned out that Cao Guangbi had led his troops to Fenzhou to intercept and kill Zong Han. Zong Han has Zhao Huan in his hand, and the weight is not below Zhao Ji, so Zong Ze was stunned when he heard the news, and he had no choice but to garrison the troops without moving.
The good carts and horses of the Jin army are all used by their own people, and only some ox carts are allocated to the Zhao clan, but compared to the huge number of clans, even the ox carts are not enough, so some concubines and concubines even have to walk on their own. Zong Wang was afraid of being attacked, so he didn't let these clans take the official road all the way, and after coming out of Bianliang, they were all living roads, walking without sheltering from the wind and rain, and sitting on the ground when resting, this sin was great. Wen Tiaoyu followed behind the convoy escorting these ox carts, and was treated better than Zhao Ji, at least Jin Bing didn't detain Zhou Xiaochang much, so Zhou Xiaochang could buy some wine and food for her and Cui'er along the way. The Zhao clan over there lacked food and clothing, and Zhao Ji's younger brother Zhao Hou, the king of Yan, even starved to death on the road and was buried in a manger on the spot.
Wen Tiaoyu heard that he was very unbearable in the back, and asked Zhou Xiaochang to find a way to arrange a deputy coffin, Zhou Xiaochang said: "At this time, the common people are dead, not to mention the manger, not even a straw mat!" Miss Wen, we are also in trouble, don't worry too much about other people's affairs. ”
At this time, most of the cities in Henan and Hebei were still in the hands of Song Chen, so after starting from Liujia Temple, they did not enter the city again, all the way was a wilderness scenery, where Wen Tiaoyu could clearly distinguish where he went, until he saw the Yellow River, he knew that he was finally going to cross the river.
After crossing the river, and walked for more than ten days, suddenly the front and back of the war broke out, the sound of swords, the neighing of horses, the Song family clan thought that the army of King Qin had arrived, and everyone had hope, hoping that the army could rob them back. Uncle Zhang was already on a hunger strike and begging for death, but at this time, he suddenly cheered up, took his two sons, and took advantage of the chaos to rush to Zhao Ji's side to escort him, hoping that reinforcements would arrive. At this time, these princes and princesses are all precarious, and they only hope to get out of the clutches of the golden man, and as for the glory and wealth, they dare not think about it anymore.
The sound of killing flickered from south to north, east to west, Zhang Shuye was a person who was proficient in the military, and after listening to it for a long time, he said: "The people who come to King Qin are not weak in their art of war!" There must be three directions in this southeast, northwest, and northwest to be suspicious! But there don't seem to be many centaurs! It's a pity, it's a pity! At this point, he had already gloomed, and knew that if King Qin's soldiers were not numerous, most of them would leave if they missed the blow. It's just that when I saw Zhao Ji's expectant look on his face, I couldn't bear to open my mouth. Sure enough, soon he heard the sound of killing and quieted down, thinking that the attacking army and horses had retreated. At this time, Zhao Ji didn't need Zhang Shuye to say that he knew that the military horses that came to rush the Jin soldiers had either been defeated or had withdrawn, and he went from having a little hope to being disappointed again, and his heart was naturally even more uncomfortable!
After Zhou Xiaochang waited for the matter to settle down, he went out to inquire in all directions, and came back and said to Wen Tiaoyu: "It seems to be a loyal army, they rushed and killed for a while, but they didn't hurt the root of the Jin people, but they robbed the carriage that escorted gold and silver!" Now the second prince is thundering. Alas, it's a pity that it's not the second general, otherwise it would be even better. ”
Zhou Xiaochang guessed wrong, it was Cao Guangbi who came to intercept the return of the Jin soldiers this time. However, unlike Zong Ze, Cao Guangbi's goal is not to welcome back Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji, but to rescue Zhi Yanchong!
The location of Zhe Yanchong was concealed very tightly by the Jin people, and even with a developed intelligence network like the Han Ministry, it was impossible to correctly judge its location. Cao Guangbi guessed based on various circumstances, and at first he was inclined to Zhe Yanchong to be in the Western Route Army, so he ordered Wang Yan to guard the party and personally lead 5,000 light cavalry to ambush by the Fen River. Who knew that by mistake, the deputy car was mistaken, and only fifty cars of gold and silver were robbed! Cao Guangbi missed a blow, and immediately retreated without waiting for Zong Han's reaction.
It just so happened that the person who had been sent to contact Chong Yansong came back, but the person who came was Ma Kuo - after the defeat of the army on the northern front, he entered the Taihang Mountains to attach himself to the loyal army, and then hurried to inform Cao Guangbi that Chong Yansong planned to attack the Jin soldiers before the Jin army's eastern route army entered Zhending.
Cao Guangbi handed over the gold and silver he had stolen to Li Qiong to bring back to Shangdang, and then led the light cavalry to travel hundreds of miles a day to the location of the Zhongwu Army. Cao Guangbi helped Chong Yansong modify the interception tactics overnight, and launched an attack on Zongwang again, but he didn't find Zhe Yanchong and only robbed gold and silver, but this time he gained more, and actually robbed one million gold ingots, four million silver ingots, and countless jewelry seals. This time, because there were too many things, Cao Guangbi wanted to discard them along the way, Lin Yi was greedy for money, and before receiving Cao Guangbi's order, he launched an ambush to help cheer the suspicious loyal soldiers and civilians to rob the gold and silver, and was found by the Jin soldiers and cavalry, and the two sides fought for a long time. In this battle, the loyal army suffered heavy losses, although they got gold and silver, but the casualties of the whole army were close to one-third, and the Jin people also knew that it was Cao Guangbi who led the troops in the war.
Cao Guangbi thought that if he encountered Zongwang's main force returning to the division, he was afraid that the loyal army and the men and horses he brought would have to be annihilated, so he asked Chong Yansong to lead the brigade to avoid Taihang, and he led 500 light cavalry as the suspicious soldiers to open Zongwang's main force.
His move was very dangerous, because at this time, the whole army was quite tired of manpower and horsepower, so he was not sure whether he could get out after leading away the main force of the Jin soldiers. Fortunately, Zong Wang was extremely shrewd, and he saw through the trajectory of this team of men and horses to escape halfway through, at this time, the Jin Army's East Route Army had not yet entered the territory completely controlled by the Jin people, and Zong Wang was afraid of being ambushed and did not chase down, but he didn't know that it was because of this shrewdness that he missed the opportunity to capture Cao Guangbi alive.
After the Jin soldiers stopped chasing, Cao Guangbi went around in a circle and went west to meet with Chong Yansong, Lin Yi and others, and he couldn't help but be afraid when he thought of the danger of intercepting the Jin soldiers this time.
Chong Yansong was very sad about the casualties of thousands of soldiers, but Lin Yi, who should have been responsible for the incident, was happy that he had obtained a large amount of property theft, but he didn't dare to show it.
Cao Guangbi raised his head and sighed: "Two interceptions, paid such a big price, and didn't even touch where the eldest brother was, what did I go wrong?" ”
It turned out that Cao Guangbi thought that Zong Han Zong Wang would detain Zhi Yanchong and use heavy troops to guard it, if Zhi Yanchong was hiding in the Chinese army, then Cao Guangbi would have no choice, he gambled that Zong Han and Zong Wang would not bring a Zhi Yanchong who was quite appealing to the soldiers of all ethnic groups with him, so as not to turn elbows and armpits. Therefore, Cao Guangbi's two interceptions avoided Zong Wang and Zong Han's Chinese army, and chose several other teams with more well-guarded defenses, and selected the one he thought was the most likely from these teams.
The Jin people returned to the north this time, and they attached great importance to two teams: the first was the team that escorted the Zhao clan, and the deeds left by this team such as eating, drinking, and burying the dead were too obvious, so they were excluded by Cao Guangbi from the beginning; And the second team is naturally the team that escorts the property. Cao Guangbi attacked twice, and the ones who were selected happened to be Zong Han and Zong Wang's fortune team, which was partly because of coincidence, and partly because Cao Guangbi couldn't get out of his own thinking for a while.
