Chapter 107: Catching the Wind
In later generations, because of its location in the west and its use as the temporary capital of China during the Anti-Japanese War, Yudu was established as the fourth municipality directly under the central government of the country, thus opening the prelude to the development of the western region costing trillions of yuan.
Like later generations, the Chongqing Mansion City of this time and space is built in the triangle of the confluence of Fushui and the Great River, the old site is the Jiangzhou built by Li Yan during the Three Kingdoms period, after the Song and Mongolian wars, Xichuan fell, Dongchuan took Hezhou as the front line, and the Chongqing Mansion City has also been reinforced many times, and its precipitousness is no less than that of Hezhou Diaoyu City.
On the south bank of Fushui, several military men in armor hid their figures behind a forest, and the first big man had a short beard and stared intently into the distance, where Fushui joined the river, forming a T-shaped water surface, and the Chongqing Mansion City built on the mountain was behind it.
"Jieshuai, as long as you break through those pontoon bridges, the last general will be sure to enter the city and send the men and horses in." The general who spoke spoke in the Shu dialect, his stature was slightly shorter, and his body was also very majestic.
"Wan Lizi, the Yuan people set up three pontoon bridges on the river, and one of them was broken, and then your boat lost power, and when they saw that there were no guns on both sides of the river, they were just waiting for that opportunity."
Zhang Jue pointed to the river and said, because under the noses of the enemy, they all deliberately lowered their voices, and his voice was a little hoarse, his eyes were black, and the look of worry was written on his face.
This time to help, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind him are the last reliance of the entire Shu land, but the enemy is more than doubled, he has to be cautious.
According to the report, the soldiers besieging the city in front of the Yuan people Dongchuan Xingyuan belonged to them, and because of the enemy's scouts, it was impossible to find out how many of them.
In this regard, Zhang Jue did not blame him, these subordinates have tried their best to compete with the Tartar scouts in the wild, and looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, they are also one of the few.
From a distance, there are military tents all over the banks of Fushui, and all kinds of siege equipment are erected in the camp, which makes people feel frightened to look at, while the city of Chongqing is shrouded in fog and cannot see anything.
"Don't be anxious, are you afraid that you won't have to fight? There are only half of the Tartars here, and half of them are in Luzhou, this time, they can only succeed in one fell swoop, otherwise they will be attacked on their backs. ”
Patting Ai Jiang's shoulder, Zhang Jue's eyes looked at the other side of the river, Luzhou is not far from here, walking along the river, I am afraid that in a day or two, his time is running out.
"Go back first, you can always figure it out." There was nothing to see, Zhang Jue retracted his gaze, turned around and walked back.
"The turtle son's, I can't get rid of it if I don't believe it." Dutong Zhang Wan, who was walking at the back, glanced at it unwillingly, grabbed a branch casually, and broke it in two with a "snap".
At the same time, in the upstream direction of the other end of the river, a large army had just passed through the county seat of Hejiang, which was still in Luzhou, and the people who watched them from a distance looked blank, and some of them secretly spat on the ground, showing disdain.
"Wang Zhiyuan, the soldiers are fast, I don't know how long it will take to get to Chongqing Mansion, I'm afraid of that time"
In the middle of the army, a man dressed in regular clothes arched his hand to Wang Liangchen, the privy deputy envoy under Shuai and the privy councillor of Xichuan Xing, and said anxiously.
"Zan signed the book, why are you so sure that Zhang Jue will leave Hezhou Tianxian?"
Wang Liangchen said indifferently that the Xichuan Academy sent troops this time, first defeated Zhan Wanshou in Jiading Mansion, and then surrendered. The general in front of him was still in serious trouble in the center of Shu three years ago, and he had troops out of Chengdu Mansion and almost captured the city.
Now, his army has successively taken Xuzhou and Luzhou, and it is about to join forces with Dongchuan under the city of Chongqing.
As for the mountain city of Hezhou, which killed the former Great Khan and his brother, Wang Liangchen didn't want to touch it in his heart, and now Zhang Jue took the initiative to lead his troops to leave the dangerous place, isn't it just in the middle of it? He was a little puzzled as to why this person was worried.
"Zhang Jue is different from others." Zan Wanshou smiled bitterly and shook his head, he is a veteran for many years, how could he not know what Wang Liangchen thought in his heart, he was in Jiading Mansion because he was ambushed out of the city, so he had to surrender, and now they want to repeat the old trick.
What is the difference, Zan Wanshou did not say, Wang Liangchen did not ask, faintly he even hoped that Dongchuan would have some setbacks, because the nominal commander there was the third son of the Great Khan, King Anxi, and after the two courts were divided, they all showed their strengths in order to achieve success in one fell swoop.
If Zhang Jue is really like what he said, there is nothing wrong with it, Wang Liangchen is confident that he is not afraid of any Song people, and this demote next to him was not also a good general in the eyes of the Song people before, but now?
The words of persuasion have been spoken, the boss does not listen, Zan Wanshou has no choice, he thinks that he has fulfilled his responsibility, the Great Song Dynasty is not as good as a year, they have supported in Shu for so long, the imperial court did not send a single reinforcement, I heard that Jiangnan is also about to fall, I am afraid that it is inevitable to change the dynasty.
Shuzhong is too far away, Liu Yu didn't think about interfering, he was welcoming the arrival of a guest in the mansion, Zhang Qingyun and his wife arrived in Beijing.
For fear that the owner would be in a hurry, the two did not take the waterway, but chose the official road, which is why they came so quickly, and when they visited the hostess of the house, Liu Yu handed Yinghong to his wife, and took Zhang Qingyun to the front yard.
"The foolish couple came late and failed to catch up with the new marriage of the owner." The hostess's back ~ Jing Liu Yu simply told him that such a marriage is naturally helpful for the future, and he is also very happy.
"You sit in Jiankang and help me watch those bastard boys, so that I can get married here with peace of mind. Now I want you to come in a hurry, and I'm thankful that Lingtang doesn't complain about me. ”
I thought that he and Yinghong were weak scholars, and the other was a woman, even if they came, they wouldn't be so fast, who knew that both of them were quite able to endure hardships, which made Liu Yu's heart look up again.
"The owner laughed, the son has a future, and the mother is only happy." Zhang Qingyun waved his hand, and then took out an envelope from his arms.
"This is what Li Dutou asked me to bring to the owner, and he said that there is only one copy of this thing, so I must hand it over to the owner myself."
Liu Yu took it, opened the envelope and took a look, and immediately understood what he meant, this is the spy network set up by Li Shiyi in the north, he has limited manpower, and has only infiltrated some important places, and the address and identity of these people are listed on the document, which is indeed very important.
Liu Yu also saw Li Shiyi's progress in his eyes, this was just an ordinary forbidden army sergeant at the beginning, but now he has a faint appearance, and he may not be able to become a qualified intelligence talent over time.
"What else did he say?"
"Dutou said that things in Shandong are not going well, and the other party doesn't believe in the Great Song Dynasty, but he is afraid that he will have to go to another secluded realm." Zhang Qingyun thought for a while and replied.
"What about the second child, but are you still honest?"
Shandong is the first location chosen by Liu Yu, where it is bordered by the sea, it can be easily supported from the waterway, and the ground itself is not very peaceful, the rule of the Yuan people there may not be much power, but he is still very close to the capital, which can be called the core area of the Yuan people's rule.
Because he didn't know the details, Zhang Qingyun only said a rough idea, Liu Yu could only put down this question for the time being, and asked about Chenggui instead.
"I didn't say it explicitly, but looking at his appearance, he should still be under control."
Zhang Qingyun said according to his own understanding that the second child of the Xie family is a key figure, and it is normal for the owner to be worried, after all, this is related to the lives of hundreds of brothers.
Liu Yu nodded and stopped asking, he was originally to pick up the wind for Zhang Qingyun, and there was no need to be too anxious about work, just as Yang Xingqian also came back from outside the house, and the two of them had a cold chat.
"Brother Ning has also arrived in Beijing, but now he has gone to the forbidden army camp outside the city, most likely to find Commander Jin, so he went back to the house first."
Calculating the days, Jiang Ning should indeed have arrived, the reason why they would get off the ship in Ninghai was because they put the horses there, these were borrowed from the forbidden, and they naturally had to be returned.
Since Jiang Ning didn't go back to the city, Liu Yu didn't have to wait for him, the three of them opened a table in the front yard, and the female dependents naturally had a place for them to go, so he didn't have to worry about it.
During the banquet, Liu Yu also asked Zhang Qingyun about the affairs of Jiankang and Jianghuai, and the latter did not know about the actions of Li Tingzhi and others, but the abnormal situation in Jiankang City was known to passers-by.
"That's roughly the case, when I set off, the price of rice in the city was still rising, but fortunately, I still had some savings at home, and I bought food in advance, which is not safe, but it is difficult to say about those poor families in the city."
Zhang Qingyun was a little depressed, this matter seemed to come out of nowhere, there was no warning in advance, and the government was also standing by, which made him very puzzled.
You must know that there is not no food in the official warehouse, not long ago he personally led people to send relief grain to the neighboring Taiping Prefecture, Liu Yu, who knows the root of the matter, pondered for a while, and immediately thought of something, and looked at the seat, Yang Xingqian also showed a thoughtful expression.
It seems that Li Tingzhi still made some moves, and it is very likely that his move is not only about Jiankang City, it seems that the pressure on him from the Tartars is greater than expected, which stimulated him to act like this.
Liu Yu has nothing to say, if he is in that position, he is afraid that it will be more intense, he doesn't know how to fight, but he knows what war is all about, and what is the means to win, or how to say "Xing, the people suffer, die, the people suffer".
"The owner, call a certain person to come, what is the dispatch at the bottom, can you reveal a thing or two?" Zhang Qingyun looked itchy and unbearable, Liu Yu and Yang Xingqian couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
"There is indeed something for you to do, but the two of you have just arrived in Beijing, so you can take a rest these days, and if you want to play anywhere, just go, and find Mr. Yang at any expense."
Zhang Qingyun knew that it was likely to be a trip again, and it was for their good if the owner didn't say it now, so that they could play in this prosperous place for a few days without distraction. He naturally understood this kindness, and when he heard the words, he didn't ask more, and only drank and ate food and talked nonsense, but he also enjoyed the guests and hosts. R1058
