Autumn is coming, the breath of summer has not completely disappeared in Bianliang City, and when the black clouds are thick, it rains loudly.

For the people of Bianliang at this time, the sudden rainstorm could not hide the warm and boiling emotions in the city. During this time, the most shocking and joyful news for the Wu Dynasty came from the north.

The Northern Expedition was victorious, Tong Guan's 200,000 army broke through Yanjing, Yanyun 16 states recovered most of them, and the Liao State was about to die.

When the news came, the humiliation and dreams of two hundred years finally showed the first ray of light. For the people of Bianliang, especially the Confucian students, it is a great joy for the whole world to celebrate. In such an atmosphere, relatively speaking, the defeat of the bandits in Shuibo Liangshan in the east is almost a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning. The fortunes of the country are prosperous, and the time comes for heaven and earth to work together, and under such circumstances, the soldiers of the country and the dynasty are headed, and the bandits will naturally collapse in the hope of the wind, which is not worth mentioning.

Because the importance of Poliang Mountain is much lower than that of Po Yanjing, after the news came, it was not widely publicized. In fact, the news of the Liangshan incident came before the Yanjing incident, but due to some of the joints, the procedure for dealing with it was postponed for the time being, and then later...... There is not much need for publicity, as long as there is Yanjing's victory, the rest of the things will be icing on the cake and overshadowed.

It was also in such an atmosphere that Su Tan'er led a kind of Su family to Bianliang with a child who was almost three months old.

The group lived in the courtyard that Ning Yi had bought before, and after a little tiding, the first person to visit was the family of Qin Siyuan, the right minister. For the Qin family, she is actually not as familiar as Yunzhu and the Qin family, but Qin Siyuan, Mrs. Qin and others already attach importance to Ning Yi. The child brought by him also successfully opened a breakthrough in "diplomacy", at this time, the almost three-month-old little Ning Xi was healthy and quite cute, Mrs. Qin was overjoyed to see it, and said that this child was smart, and wanted to accept him as a godgrandson, and let Su Tan'er bring the child over to play.

The Qin family's love for Ning Xi naturally comes partly from Ning Yi, which is self-evident. But the glory of the child is originally connected with the mother, as the son of the Ning family. In the future, he will inherit the mantle of Ning Yi. It is not a problem to provoke the burden of the Ning family and the Su family. Every praise for him is also praised in Su Tan'er's heart. And after these family routines, when Yun Niang told Su Tan'er about Ning Yi's news alone, it further explained the reason why the Qin family attached so much importance to Ning Yi.

Pass from this side. A month to break Liangshan. Tens of thousands of bandits in Liangshan were killed and surrendered. For whom. This is a dream-like record, and Ning Yi's revenge is fast and ruthless. As if as soon as it passed, he stretched out his giant hand and slapped the entire Liangshan to the ground. For a woman, this is also the momentum of the head of the family that can really be relied on, but as a pragmatic person, Su Tan'er can naturally understand the danger. It was raining heavily outside the house, and in the bright yellow light in the room, she listened to Yun Niang's words, and the information that came, while reaching out to cover her lips, her eyes were red.

"He—he's not hurt, is he?"

"Don't worry, I heard that he has not been injured, this time it is all up to him to plan behind his back, but now the bandit leaders in Liangshan are still fleeing, I don't know how long it will take for all the roads to be intercepted, but if you want to use Liheng's means, there will be good news soon......"

"He is ruthless, and he will be regarded as a thorn in the side of the bandits, Song Jiang and them...... Sooner or later, you'll have to keep an eye on him. I just hope he's okay......" Tan'er sat there, smiling and crying.

Yun Niang said a few words with a smile on the side, and said: "Recently, the most exciting thing in the house is the matter of Liangshan." If it weren't for the tense situation in Yanjing, many things were imminent, and this matter would have been spread......"

"After all, it's Yanjing's matter, it's more important......"

"Yanjing ......" Yun Niang looked at Tan'er with a smile, and after a while, she shook her head and said softly: "The news may sound good to outsiders, but my master said that it was a bunch of bastard things made by a group of bastards, where can it compare to Liheng's merits." However, this matter is still confidential, Tan'er is not an outsider, but don't mention it to others......"

In the atmosphere of celebration in Bianliang City, Yun Niang and Tan'er casually mentioned this matter, a little helpless. At this time, in the Qin Mansion or in the entire capital, a very small number of people who knew the inside story of the Dao did not necessarily have the same ecstatic mood as others when they talked about it. Just like the area around the study behind the Qin Mansion, the interior of the Secret Investigation Division.

At this time, Cheng Zhouhai had already left, and the people who were handling affairs here were Yao Zunian, Ji Kun, Monk Jueming, Wen Ren and others. Occasionally, if someone sends a post to Yao Zunian and Jueming monks in the room to celebrate the return of Yanjing, most of these two people who are quite famous in the Bianliang literary circle and social circle are a little lacking in interest. In fact, when they were talking, if Cheng Zhouhai was still there, he might have to scold and even smash half of the tea set in the room.

In fact, after the initial news about Yanjing came, the monk Jueming, who has always been self-contained, smashed a fist on the tea set in front of him, almost smashing a set of purple sand tea sets, the fragments were embedded in his hands, blood kept flowing out, and what rose at the same time as anger on his body was his former temperament as a royal family. Whether they are born or enter the WTO, for such people, there are always some things and emotions that cannot be shaken off. And when the news came one after another, everyone was able to stabilize their emotions from it, and only occasionally sighed: "It's always a good thing." ”

When the heavy rain fell, thousands of miles away in the north, there was also a person, in a nightmare, repeating everything about the Yanjing incident......

*************

In the darkness, what shines in front of you is a light like purgatory. In the ancient and dark city in the night, the sound of killing boiled out......

When he suddenly sat up from the bed, Pharmacist Guo's forehead was already covered in cold sweat, the light was dim, and it was raining outside. He got out of bed, put on his clothes, gritted his teeth, and went through everything that day in his heart.

In mid-May, Guo Yaoshi finally obtained the approval of Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing, and led the 6,000 elites in the resentment army, cooperating with Liu Yanqing's direct subordinates, to attack Yanjing. According to his understanding of the Liao State, the whole plan was serious and rigorous, and the vanguard successfully infiltrated the city. Break open the city gate and start a chaotic battle in the ancient capital of Yanjing.

At this time, the Liao people and the Jin State fought at this time, and the army had no intention of fighting, especially when the Wu Dynasty army suddenly entered the Liao capital, like a heavenly soldier descending, the signal to everyone was that the fate of the Liao State had arrived. In the initial success, Pharmacist Guo was overjoyed and sent someone to order the Empress Dowager Xiao to descend quickly. And Liu Yanqing was also overjoyed, announcing that he would wait for the army to enter the city. Do not seal the knife. For Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing and others. The successive defeats of the Liao War require a big victory, and the officers and men in the army also need more encouragement, such an order. From Liu Yanqing's mouth. It also comes from the heroism of Tong Guan.

"Tong led the troops. There is nothing else, but the soldiers sacrifice their lives for me. I will not do any bad to the soldiers! ”

Under such an order, the order of the Wu Dynasty army gradually became chaotic and began to burn and kill in the city. Guo Yaoshi was horrified in his heart and negotiated with this side, but was immediately refuted: "How many people have the Liao people killed in my Wu Dynasty in the past hundred years, Yaoshi, you only belong to my Wu Dynasty, I don't know the depth of the resentment in the middle, you can't say much about this matter, be careful that you will lose if you talk too much." In short, the situation has been decided, so what can the soldiers do to vent. Haha......ha

Although the Liao people are already at the end of the strong crossbow, but in the north, the men are still more or less martial and bloody, and the next day, the resistance in Yanjing gradually became stronger. Although Empress Dowager Xiao is a woman, she has a strong temperament, and she took this opportunity to send a blood letter to the wealthy families in the city to cry Chen, and then recaptured the city gate, not to drive the Wu Dynasty army out of the city, but to close the city gate to die with the Wu Dynasty army, and fight to the death. In such a battle situation, Guo Yaoshi and others actually still had the upper hand, but Liu Xingshi's troops, who were originally scheduled to lead a large army, never arrived.

On the third day of the war, Xiao Gan, the king of the North Courtyard, led a large army back to Yanjing, and with the resentment of the city, he killed Guo Yaoshi and others out of the city with the momentum of mourning. At this time, the resentful army is still strong and strong, Guo Yaoshi is a famous general, and has been waiting for Liu Xingshi's main force to arrive, he knows that once the rout of the Dao is formed, it will inevitably be a catastrophe, and persuade Liu Yanqing's thousands of people directly under him to fight against Xiao Gan, even if he fights and retreats, the main force can still fight after the arrival.

The other side nodded in agreement, and then touched Xiao Gan's soldiers, and the entire army collapsed. Guo Yaoshi could only watch in amazement as these elites of the Wu Dynasty rushed to flee, and such a flight also dragged down the morale of the resentful army. Xiao Gan's morale was indeed like a rainbow at that time, which was quite terrifying, and the resentful army in front of him was like a sand castle under a huge wave, only resisting for a moment, and then being defeated. At this time, Guo Yaoshi also tried to organize an orderly rout, thinking that he would save his strength, but the sporadic resistance eventually only gave the Wu Dynasty army some time to disperse. And on top of the battle array, when he faced the terrible king of the North Courtyard again, he was almost beheaded by the sword of the other party, and it was many old brothers who escorted him all the way to escape, and he was lucky not to be caught.

Liu Xingshi's main force of tens of thousands of people arrived late at this time, and seeing that the friendly army had collapsed, these tens of thousands of people were also scattered by Xiao Gan, who was chasing and killing all the way. Tong Guan, who was in the rear, knew that the defeat of the road was present, and he did not choose to resist stubbornly, but turned around the army and retreated all the way, preserving the entire Northern Expeditionary Army.

In the whole war, when the more than 6,000 people of the resentful army came back, there were only 1,000 left, plus more than 2,000 people who held the main position, and the 8,000 brothers who originally defected to the Chengwu Dynasty were now only 3,000. According to the civilian officials, after the war, they will find the cause of defeat and win next time. In such an uproar, the resentful soldier Tong Guan only appeased a few words and put it aside.

Guo Yaoshi originally thought that these guys were going to use the resentful army to carry this black cauldron, but Tong Guan's methods were beautiful. As soon as the battle was lost, the Jurchens were immediately contacted, and they didn't know what conditions they agreed, and then the Jin people sent troops, drove straight forward, broke Yanjing, burned and looted, and handed over a ruined city to the Wu Dynasty. When Pharmacist Guo really reacted, Tong Guan had sent the news of Yanjing's victory back to the south and began to preach this immortal achievement.

As for the disposition of the resentful army, in the heavy rain of this day, the holy decree came: "...... There is a Guo pharmacist often wins the army, in the battle of Yanjing, the strength to move forward, made great contributions, now the special seal Guo pharmacist for the Wutai battalion festival envoy, and the ...... Reward...... Give...... Chin this—"

A large number of gifts and titles were placed in front of Pharmacist Guo at this time, and in Pharmacist Guo's stunned eyes, Liu Xingshi, who was also promoted to become wealthy, and took the position of this reward, came over with a smile and got close to Pharmacist Guo. That night, a banquet was held in the Changsheng army, Liu Xingshi and Guo Yaoshi were drunk before leaving, and Liu Xingshi said that he had been very guilty about his delay in the northward march of the army, but also explained in detail that the Wu Dynasty army was not so fast. At this time, everyone had a reward, and he was promoted and made a fortune, so he had the face to come over to see Pharmacist Guo, and apologized, and said sincerely, the Wu Dynasty regarded Pharmacist Guo as a good man, and he had a hand in the war, which was amazing!

For Liu Xingshi, this may be the best attitude for Pharmacist Guo to show favor.

After sending Liu Xingshi away, the sky was dark and the rain was still falling, and Pharmacist Guo took the holy decree and stood outside the tent, watching the heavy rain fall and pour on himself. The two old brothers who still survived around him knew that he had been worried about Yanjing's defeat recently, came over to comfort him, and said: "This is a good thing, I finally let go of my heart, and then we can recruit troops again." ”

"Tong Shumi's side, he still has a conscience, and he finally hasn't forgotten our ......"

The two of them said this, and the drunk Pharmacist Guo looked at them with red eyes, gradually trembled with the holy decree, gritted his teeth, and wanted to throw it into the rain, but finally didn't dare. He waved his hand heavily, looked at the darkness in the rain, and pointed for a moment.

"We are more than 5,000 brothers, I was original, I was originally with you ......," he muttered, and finally shed tears in the rain, and suppressed his roar, "King! Eight! Eggs—"

The voice echoed through the rain.

This day is the thirteenth day of the seventh month of the Jinghan year of the Wu Dynasty. At the same time, thousands of miles away in the south, more than 3,000 people from Liangshan were rushing down the hillside and surging towards the camp set up by the Dulonggang people......

Far away in Shandong, Ning Yi could not know the situation in the north of the Dao for the first time, and he was not interested in it for the time being. When I woke up from my sleep, I was a little tired, and there were some small figures who said goodbye to him forever in that dream, even though I knew that most of the things in my dream were wishful thinking, but at this time, I still couldn't help but be filled with a faint emotion. It was still raining heavily, but the sky was about to dawn, because it was not easy to hurry between the heavy rains, everyone had to rest in the post station on the road, and more than 200 people had fast and slow feet, and the first batch of more than 30 people with cars and horses were in front, and the rest of the people had to find a place to settle behind.

Ning Yi left the carriage, it was the backyard of the post station, he slept so deeply that everyone didn't even call him. There are lonely lanterns hanging under the eaves of the heavy rain, and in the darkness of the heavy rain, the post station has actually slept, and some of the entourages are looking for a place to sleep in this simple post hall or eaves. Ning Yi walked up to the second floor to find a place to sit, looking at the cool wind blowing in the night rain, waiting for Zhu Biao and the others to wake up and tell him about the green forest masters and various conditions they would encounter in the past this time......
