A few miles away from the city in the west corner of Jiankang City, there is a mountain, more than 100 feet high, more than 100 miles in radius, because the mountain is rich in river light stones, so it is named Stone Mountain, also known as Shishou Mountain. At the west foot of the mountain, you can see the city wall standing majestically and the stone cliff towering, this is the stone city built by the mountain.

In the sixteenth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, moved to Moling, and in the second year, he built a city on the original site of Jinlingyi in Stone Mountain, and named it Stone. After the Tang Dynasty, the river gradually moved westward, and since the eighth year of Wude, the stone town began to be abandoned, and now the city has become a gathering place for temples.

It is rumored that when Zhuge Liang passed through Moling County, he specially rode a horse to the stone mountain to observe the mountains and rivers. He saw that the mountains headed by Zhongshan were meandering in the southeast like a dragon, and the western mountains ending at the stone mountain were like tigers standing on the shore of the river, so he issued an exclamation of "Zhongshan dragon pan, stone tiger, really the emperor's house".

Liu Yu stood at the head of the city, his hands pressed the battlements at the upper end of the city wall, looking at the past from here, the river Bailian generally went east, there were not many ships docked on the wharf along the coast, and there were very few merchant ships in the city by waterway in the past few days, and the atmosphere of the coming war was getting stronger and stronger.

"Chihiro's iron lock sinks to the bottom of the river." I don't know how, such a sentence came to my heart, he has forgotten what the whole poem is, but it is Taizu's poem "Zhongshan is pale and yellow, and millions of heroes cross the river" I remember very well, but it is not easy to choke out.

"A piece of falling flags out of stones, too much to keep the interest, nostalgic here." There is no need to look back, Liu Yu also knows that this is Hu Sanxing's voice, and he came here today because of his temporary intention, but he just wants to stand on a high place and take a look at what it will look like will soon become a battlefield.

Hu Sansheng came to him to sign, there was no place in the city, so the two went to the city tower in the middle, watching Hu Sansheng take out a bunch of pen and ink from his arms, Liu Yu thought about whether to get a batch of pens or something like that.

"Did the Zuo family look for you, how did you say it?" Zuo Dongjia was really scared that day, and Liu Yu didn't want his life, but it was still necessary to close it for a few days, and after this move, the entire demolition was immediately smoothed up, except for some who went to other places to seek refuge with relatives and friends, most people still chose to enter the city.

"What else, Zuo just begged for forgiveness from Taishou, saying how weak the owner is, and he can't be imprisoned." Hu Sanxing was also quite amazed by the process of that day, Liu Yu drove the "iron pulley" but raised his forearms and moved, and the seemingly solid two-story building shook.

"Forget it, ask their family to give some money and rice, just set 5,000 yuan, receive the money and rice, and bring the person back." The Zuo family has a new branch of Jinshi, which can be regarded as an official eunuch, and Liu Yu can't be too embarrassed, so he can only be punished with a small punishment.

Hu Sanxing nodded, he has also been annoyed by the Zuo family in the past few days, so it's okay to deal with it like this. After signing the letter, he was about to leave, but Liu Yu grabbed him, and when it was close to dinner, he asked his soldiers to arrange a table of banquets, which was set up on top of the city tower.

On a March day, it was already a little hot, and when I opened the window, the river breeze came slowly, and it was pleasant. When the banquet was set, Liu Yu personally poured a full cup for Hu Sanxing, these days, he is almost a hands-off shopkeeper, it is not a problem that cannot be handled, and he doesn't care about it at all.

"Body, the affairs are heavy, Liu will not say this word of thanks, please drink this cup." Liu Yu stretched out his hand and picked up his cup and saluted Hu Sanxing.

Hu Sanxing waved his hand to say that he didn't have to care, and when he said this, he had no choice but to pick up the cup, and the two touched it from afar, and they both drank it all. Without waiting for Liu Yu to make a move, Hu Sanxing snatched the wine jug, filled it for him, and poured a glass himself.

"Body, don't hide it from you, the Yuan people are near, and the city will be besieged in the next few days, while you can still go now, it is better to leave the city." Liu Yu's words were not a temptation, Hu Sanxing was originally brought by him, the literati are not the same military attachés, and he has no intention of forcibly staying.

"Ziqing, calling you 'too guarded' is not a compliment. Speaking of this Jiankang City, he was an official here three years ago, although his family did not pick it up, but he also thought that he had a duty. Ziqing, when Lu and Hong Kong intersected, in your heart, was Hu a shameless person who was greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

"Brother of the body, how can you think so, without your help, you don't even have the confidence to defend this city. Brother's great talent, not on this battlefield, there is no intention to say this. "Liu Yu is very afraid of dealing with literati, and he is always a little incomprehensible, which makes people think wildly.

"Body, you know Tongjian, and you should know that once this city is besieged, anything can happen. With the brutality of the Tartars, as long as the city is broken, the old and young will not be lucky, the brother is not afraid, what should the family do? ”

"Ziqingyuan is kind intentions, a certain heart received it, three days ago, a certain book was repaired and sent home. Hu is conceited as a literati, and he can't do it when he goes into battle to kill the enemy, but he still does some small things. The day before yesterday, I was gossiping with Zhao, Fang Zhiziqing was 'robbed' by Taishou, a little curious, how can you be sure that you can keep this Jiankang City? ”

Liu Yu listened to his words, took a sip of the wine in the cup, slowly sipped to experience the momentum, and thought about how to answer. He was indeed robbed of this official, why did he do this, it is not a great righteousness, but he just needs such a supernatural skill.

"This Jiankang City, counting from Sun Quan's construction of the stone city, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, Chen, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. When I crossed to the south of the Great Song Dynasty, I was also named "Liudu", but when the enemy came to attack, all of them were "a piece of flag and stone". ”

"The city is not high? The pool is not deep? But in this kind of situation, is it worthy of the four words 'tiger standing on the dragon'? Liu Yu shook his head as he spoke, took the wine glass and drank it all, stood up, turned around and walked to the window, looking at the scenery on the river, his face was blown by the wind, and gradually burned.

"This is a certain Jiankang! In a certain heart, what is a famous city, can it be called a famous city without iron and blood? A certain person is indeed selfish, and wants to use this city to achieve a certain fame, and this city will also go down in history. If you are unfortunate enough to fail, you will swear here that you will stain this wall red with the blood of you! ”

Seeing that the person in front of him waved his hand and made a generous speech there, Hu Sanxing was stunned, he didn't expect Liu Yu to say it so bluntly, and he said it unabashedly. Hu Sanxing put down and stood up, walked to the window and stood side by side with him, looking around, the sky was high and the clouds were low, and the birds were wandering, it was the time to meet.

Huainan West Road Governance Office is located in Hefei County, Luzhou, and the newly opened Mansion Yi and the three divisions and Huaixi system make Xia Gui have a banquet in his own mansion to celebrate his new addition. He is 78 years old this year, and he is still a good eater, a dragon and a tiger, and his subordinates flatteringly call him "Lian Po is alive".

"Ge Laozi, you have to coax a certain person who reads less, what kind of person is this Lian Po, are you cursing the old man?" Xia Gui drank a glass of wine, threw the meat and bones in his hand, and smashed them on the subordinate, and there was a burst of laughter in the hall.

"Envoy, then Li Tingzhi's documents are just ignored, and the edict written by the Queen Mother also wants to be shelved." One of the staff members said beside him, holding a wine glass.

"The old man knows that this official hat is not easy to wear, and he wants to lead the troops into the Weijing Division, not to mention that the road has been blocked by the Yuan people, that is, he really went, and what can he do, do those soldiers dare to fight." Xia Gui shook his huge head, he had fought all his life, he was getting older and older, but his courage was getting smaller and smaller.

"Go and know the envoy, the old man returned to the teacher from Tongling, and he couldn't be a director of the old wound relapse, and all the departments escaped, so he couldn't do it." Xia Gui dragged the sentence and sent the staff out, these troubles are the last thing he wants to face now, this Great Song Dynasty has gone through 320 years, how many days are left, he waved his hand irritably.

Inexplicably, he remembered his son Xia Song, who died in Ezhou, who was his most beloved youngest son, although he was not a descendant, he loved him like a treasure. I took it with me since I was a child and taught it personally, but I didn't expect to lose it.

At that time, seeing that still young face could no longer smile at himself, Xia Gui's whole person was about to collapse. Fuck it, what a big Song and what a tartar, Lao Tzu doesn't care about it all, Xia Gui suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, a pair of old eyes with cloudy tears oozed out, and slowly slid down his face.
