Chapter 034: Cold Night

The cold night was silent, frozen, there was no moon, no starlight, the streets were empty, there was no one, except for the sound of watching, and there was a dead silence between heaven and earth.

"It's freezing, be careful when you go out!"

Jeremian sat up lightly from the bed and put on his hat. The third watch has passed, the time is almost the same, and he can't delay any longer.

He tiptoed to get his clothes, trying not to alarm the woman next to him, but found that the other party had woken up.

"Official, are you going to leave now, and don't stay any longer?"

Yelu's heart softened, and he almost agreed, remembering the military regulations in the army, he shook his bald head that had just grown green stubble under his hat, and said in a low voice: "Military law is ruthless, besides, the brothers are waiting, and the big officials are also waiting."

He sat on the bed, fumbled in the dark to get fit, then got out of bed and put on his armor.

The low temperature in the room gave him goosebumps on his hands. It wasn't until all the armor was on his body and a cotton hat was on his head that he felt warmer.

The oil lamp on the table was lit, and the room seemed warmer.

The woman didn't dare to lean out casually, even if she was covered with several layers of quilts, the low temperature outside was still terrifying.

The woman sat up suddenly, quickly put on her clothes, and put a quilt on her body, and then ran over and hugged Yelugan.

"If you go this time, I don't know if you can come back?" Yelu gently patted the woman's back and said in a deep voice:

"In the wood hut outside, I put 30 honeycomb coals and a small bag of rice, enough for you to use for a few days. There was some silver under the pillow, all my savings, and I left it to you. ”

The woman was moved, but shook her head and said, "Where did you get those rice salaries?" If you get it from the army, send it back quickly, and don't break the military rules!"

Yelu let go of the woman, pushed her back to the bed, and saw that she had covered the quilt, and then said, "Don't worry!" This is the brother in the army, and each of them will give me one. Millet is the surplus brought into the city by Deng Shixiong's eldest brother, I begged him for a long time, you can use it with confidence!"

"Official, do you think we can still meet?"

The woman's voice was full of reluctance.

"Don't worry!"

Yelu said: "The big official is going into battle with us, with him, I will be fine!" However, if I really die, you can go to the army and find a senior official, and he will definitely take care of you!"

Yelu Yan took a step and was about to step out of the door, when the woman whispered on the bed: "Official, I know that you are a Khitan!" I don't care, though! If you can come back, I will ask the government to change your music status and live a good life with you! ”

Yelu had a sour nose, opened the door, and strode out.

He went out and into the street, where it was dark outside, and the snow on the ground and roofs was faintly visible. He made a name for himself and strode south.

On the streets, there was no sound of cats or dogs barking, and it seemed that they had been eaten by the people. When everything is silent, the city of Tokyo is like a dead city.

He was concentrating on walking, when suddenly a big man came out of another alley, and the two of them bumped into each other solidly, and each fell down.

"Are you sick, wandering outside in the middle of the night, trying to kill Lao Tzu!"

The other party scolded angrily, and Yelu was stunned in his heart, but he didn't get angry.

The other party's voice is too familiar!

Yelu Yan hurriedly got up, stepped forward to help the man up, and said, "Brother Dong, how can you be here, I am Ye Lu Gan."

Dong Ping patted the snow on his body, and when he heard that it was Yelu Gan, he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yelu, why are you here, the little lady who came to look for you, have you been discovered by others?"

Yelu Yan shook his head and said in a low voice: "Brother Dong, please don't tell the big official about today's incident, lest he lose his temper!"

Dong Ping said in a low voice: "Brother Yelu, each other!"

The two laughed together and walked forward together.

"Brother Dong Ping, you are always alone, isn't your sister-in-law with you?"

Dong Ping shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I made a mistake back then, and I had to go up the mountain and fall into the grass, and then the Jin people went south, and my brother and I followed the big officials, all the way to the south and the north, and arrived in Bianliang City. Your sister-in-law is in her hometown in Hedong, with two sons, and the eldest brother is already ten years old!"

Yelu Yan nodded and asked, "Brother Dong, haven't you gone back all these years?"

Dong Ping shook his head and sighed: "Your sister-in-law looks down on my brother and thinks I went up the mountain to be a robber." My brother is now following a big official, if he can defeat the Jin people, he will get a half-official position, and he will be decent when he goes back. ”

Yelu shook his head and said, "You Han people are just too verbose and think too much. If you want me to say, go back if you think about it, my sister-in-law is at home, and I must be looking forward to you every day!"

Dong Ping sighed and said, "Brother Yelu, what you said is right. Let's wait until we're done!"

Yelu Yan was uneasy in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Brother Dong Ping, do you think we can defeat the Jin people?" It's a beast on the mountain, and it's very ferocious!"

"How can you not beat it!"

Dong Ping stood up and said sharply: "If you follow others, I still don't believe it in my heart." Following the big officials, the Jurchens are a lump of mud! Don't worry, we'll definitely win this battle!"

Yelu's heart was wide and much more stable.

In the main hall of Wuyue Guan, Wang Song sat quietly on a chair, his eyes slightly closed, the iron gun leaned against the corner, and the short knife on the table was shiny.

On the left side, Zhe Yuexiu was sitting on a chair in iron armor, with a broken pocket in her left hand, concentrating and calming.

Zhang Heng, Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Li Yanxian, Dong Xian and others were all in iron armor, sitting on the chair and straightening their waists. Before the war, everyone was apprehensive or excited, but they were silent.

Zhang Shuye, Liu Tao, He Li, Sun Fu, Wu Ge and others all arrived at the main hall. Everyone was heavy-faced, obviously not very appreciative of Wang Song's "aggressive style of play".

Zhao Huan didn't come, and Wang Song knew the expectation and anxiety in his heart. Just like when it comes to penalty kicks in the post-world football match, many people don't dare to open their eyes to watch, in fact, it's not that they don't want to watch it, but they don't have the courage to watch it.

Especially when the Great Song Dynasty was in danger and its fate was hanging by a thread, the empire needed such a big victory to boost the confidence of the people and hit the morale of the Jin.

"Are you all there?"

Wang Song opened his eyes, and his eyes swept over the people in the room.

"Back to the big officials, all of them are here!"

Wang Song nodded, his eyes turned around the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The generals will listen to the order!"

Everyone stood up and stood solemnly, even Zhi Yuexiu looked directly at her, with a blank expression.

Wang Song said in a deep voice: "Brothers, can you know the layout of this battle?"

Everyone shouted together, "Clear!"

Wang Song nodded and continued: "Although this battle has been arranged, you brothers must now understand that what our army has to deal with today is the Jin people's East Road army, that is, the camp of Wanyan Zongwang located in Qingcheng."

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.

Zhang Xian asked puzzledly: "Great official, why do you want to do this, why don't you attack Wanyan Zonghan of Liujia Temple?"

Wang Song shook his head and said coldly: "The envoy of the Jin people has entered and exited Tokyo City, and it is difficult to ensure that the news will not be leaked. Qingcheng is just outside the Nanxun Gate, the terrain is flat, the brothers and Fanzi have fought a bloody battle here, and the terrain is also familiar. ”

Everyone suddenly realized and nodded their heads.

Zhang Xian said loudly: "Don't worry, I will definitely cut off the head of this thief to sacrifice the souls of thousands of innocent people in my Great Song Dynasty!"

Wang Song nodded and said: "Qingcheng was originally a place where I sacrificed to the sky, but it was used by these bloody barbarians as a place for them to seek pleasure and do evil."

Niu Gao said loudly: "The big officials just have to rest assured!" Tonight, let the snow of this Qingcheng turn red, and wipe this Qingcheng off the ground!"

He Li stepped forward, bowed for a long time, and said in a trembling voice: "General Wang, the people of this court and Tokyo City will be handed over to you!"

Liu Tao stroked his beard and said: "General Wang, if the war is unfavorable, you can retreat slowly, and the old man will send someone out of the city to greet him!"

Wang Song shook his head and said with a smile: "The Jurchens are arrogant and arrogant, and they deceive me and no one in the Song Dynasty. It was freezing cold, and it was impossible to erect fences or dig trenches, and the chariots were broken. Let them see today, what is the name of a strong man who offends me, although he is far away, he will be punished!"

Wang Song picked up the iron spear, inserted the short knife, and everyone followed behind him, rushing out of the main hall.

At the gate of the city, the wide street of Nanxun Gate, the original Yingxiang Pond, and the large teaching field in front of the Wuyue Temple, are densely packed and neat, and they can't be seen at a glance, all of them are soldiers holding swords and guns, wearing iron armor, and standing silently and solemnly.

Rows of knights, war horses, Wang Song nodded, took the lead on the horse, and the generals followed.

The huge gate of Nanxun Gate slowly opened, and under the night, countless knights slowly flowed out and rushed forward, until all the soldiers went out of the city gate, and the huge city gate slowly closed again.

Seeing that the east was white and the sky was about to dawn, Niu Tong said fiercely: "The brothers are all going to fight, but I am guarding this city wall, I am really unwilling!"

Zhai Liang's face was pale, and he said worriedly: "Erlang, they went out with 40,000 elite soldiers, this battle is related to the fate of the Great Song Dynasty, I also regret it, I can't go into battle in person!"

Wu Ge comforted: "Two little generals, it's useless to talk more, let's prepare for the city wall!"

In the Wuyue view, Uncle Zhang glanced at the silent ministers next to him with different faces, shook his head and said: "He Xianggong, there is nothing to do left and right, it is better for the two of us to play a game than to wait here!"

In the Rui Si Palace, it was cold and abnormal, and Zhao Huan kept walking around the hall, his face full of impatience.

Next to his desk, Emperor Roufu was pale and stood on several sides. From time to time, the siblings would look at each other and separate themselves.

No one thought that the Great Song Dynasty had reached such a point! No one thought that the sustenance of the imperial court was all on one person!

The long night has passed, the sky is bright, but the two who haven't slept all night are in an anxious mood and have no sleepiness.

"Yuanyuan, do you think this Wang Song can do it?"

Just like when he trusted 7,777 divine soldiers and generals, once a stubborn emperor believes in someone, he must support and trust him wholeheartedly.

"Big brother, don't worry!"

Zhao Duofu said with relief: "Wang Songxiong is strategic, and the eldest brother is waiting for good news!"

Zhao Huan's face soothed, and he nodded: "Wang Song's military training skills are rare in the world!" I hope God bless me with the Great Song Dynasty, repel the Jin people, and the country and the people will be safe!"
