220: The Bird of Shock
Sunset.
On both sides of Weishui, the shouting and killing sound that had been sounding for a day finally gradually faded, and the evening breeze blew the blood-stained remnant flags left after the fierce battle, whimpering, and playing an iron-blooded tragedy with the flowing Weishui.
Another day passed, and the earth returned to silence.
In today's battle, the three major battlefields were strangely drawn, and no one got any benefits.
This is actually good news for the generals of the Song army, at least, it will not be so ugly when the report is sparse, but for Song Jiong, this news is very bad, the three battlefields, the troops have more or less a certain advantage, why can't they win the last game?
"Official, the number of troops is one thing, geographical advantages, ordnance, etc. are also very important factors, at least, the stone thrower against Qin is stronger than us, it is very good to be able to fight like this, the change of formation against Qin has not worked, then tomorrow, there may be new fighters."
"Reason, I understand, it's a good thing that I didn't lose on the front line, but my heart is empty, Brother Zeping, why is this?"
There were only Song Jiong and Zhao Pu in the study, and the two of them talked much more casually, Zhao Pu sighed lightly: "Official, many things are in a hurry." ”
Song Jiong sat paralyzed, and said weakly: "How can you not be in a hurry, grain, grass, arrows, and arrows are consumed like flowing water, and there is still a shortage of more than 50,000 winter clothes, and the day after tomorrow will be paid, and there is still a hole in the copper money to be filled, why can't you win a battle......
“……”
"Zhicheng hasn't returned yet?"
The attendant on the left side of the body said softly: "I have returned, and I am changing clothes in the side courtyard." ”
"Let him see him."
"No."
The chamberlain went out, and after a while, he led Liu Zhixin in, "The minister has seen the official family." ”
"How's it going in the city?"
"The inspectors are very conscientious, and now they have arrested more than 300 people with suspicious behaviors, and more than 500 knives and guns have been found."
"Well, in extraordinary times, it's better to catch the wrong one than let it go."
"No."
"Curfews should be taken more seriously, and candles are strictly prohibited."
"No."
Liu Zhixin paused, and saw that the official family had no other instructions, so he carefully reminded: "According to the report of the inspectors, against the Qin Zhuzhai, the soldiers eat white rice and noodles for three meals a day, and the meat is seen in the meals, and they deliberately show off the food and cotton clothes...... I'm afraid it will have to be improved. ”
"I ...... Got it. ”
"There is one more saying...... I don't know if to talk about it or not. ”
"Speak."
"Chazi reported that the front line is not invincible, but it is really a passive slack soldier, everyone."
Song Jiongqian sat up, his eyes were cold, and his momentum was like a wolf.
……
The army is coming to the city, the curfew is the proper meaning, basically no one dares to risk this big disobedience, but there is no absolute in everything, such as Ye Xianglang, and such as the morning shop, these people get up in the middle of the night, no matter how the curfew, these people can't stop it.
Liu Zhixin commanded the guards in the city, and he was very careful in everything, so that Ye Xianglang was registered one by one, but he was careless, and something went wrong that night.
Let's say that there is a tofu shop in Sweet Water Lane in Xicheng, the shopkeeper's surname is Fang, but it is rich, the lady of the house is surnamed Fan, the appearance is average, and her face is full of freckles, but because of dealing with water all day long, her complexion is tender and white, and she is white and pretty.
This time the army pressed the border, her man was a son-in-law, he had already been conscripted as a husband, and I don't know if he was sent to Xianyang or where, she was the only one in the shop, but she didn't dare to close it.
To make tofu, all the chickens get up without crowing, grinding tofu, roasting pulp, ordering marinade or something, some are busy, Fan's got up early, and ate bitterly, but she can't stand the tiredness, carrying water and grinding tofu or something, she is resolutely not to do it, her husband is not there, what to do, easy to do, singles help idle is.
It's just that the firewood in the stove should not be burning, the empty pot is burning, but the person is carried back to the bed by a strong pair of hands, and as a result, the bed is creaking here, and the fire is burning under the stove.
When the sweat is drenched and the eyes are like silk, the flames are also high, the house is old, the west wind is fierce, the flames are rising, and they are suddenly unstoppable, and the men and women on this bed are dying and lingering, and the first thing after waking up is not to splash water, but to dress.
When the clothes are dressed, there is only one way left to escape.
Fortunately, Wu Desi was conscientious, and when he found that the fire was rising, a large team of people immediately rushed over and hurriedly extinguished the fire, of course, he had to investigate the reason, Fan's heart was weak, and he shouted first: "Help, the military master, the slave was grinding pulp to make tofu, and two black-clothed people broke in and used knives against it, and burned the slave's family hard...... Jin Gen, you are also here, you can tell the military master quickly......"
The inspectors of Wu Desi were suspicious, and while arranging for people to investigate, they detained the couple back to the yamen for interrogation, and were marching, but they heard earth-shattering thunder outside the city one after another.
“…… Which...... It's in the direction of Baqiao...... Fast...... Hurry up to the East Side and ask about the situation......"
Things were so coincidental that Song Jiong, who was awakened in the middle of the night, no longer felt sleepy, and convened his confidants and important ministers overnight.
"Official's house, Dongcheng came to report that three unmanned ships exploded outside the city, with the purpose of blowing up Baqiao, but our army was well defended, so the explosion site was more than two miles away from Baqiao."
Song Jiong scolded sharply: "Erli is still far away? Do you wait for the enemy ship to sail under the Baqiao before calling closer? ”
"This ......"
Zhao Pu waved his hand and motioned for the Hongling envoy to retreat, and then said to Song Jiong: "The official family is angry, this is the night, and the officers and soldiers of our army can find out in time, it is a great achievement, how can they be harsh." ”
"What's the matter with the fire in the city, Liu Zhixin, you ......?"
Liu Zhixin hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Minister...... If the minister is negligent, please punish the official. ”
"Punishment, heh, is punishment useful, what I want is not punishment, what I want is peace!"
"Official, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the minister is brave ......" Zuo Shizhi and Zhizhi Gao Xi stepped forward and only said half a sentence, but the one behind him didn't dare to speak again, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.
Song Jiongqian opened his arms, the green tendons on his forehead jumped, his face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What a gut, do you want me to be a deserter?" ”
……
……
Although there were five or six people crowded in the tent, snoring one after another, Jia Yin had a good night's sleep, until there was a rapid drum beating outside the tent, this guy swished out of the tent, and asked while tying his belt, "What's the matter?" ”
The surrounding brothers all shook their heads, they didn't know what was going on, Jia Yin wiped his face with the bamboo tube water poured down from Chishan, and spread out his hands to let Bao Chao help Jia, at this time, another herald came over, riding his horse and shouting: "The war horse is saddled, and everyone is ready." ”
"......"
Jia Yin was anxious as soon as he saw this formation, and he didn't wait for the armor rope to be tied, he walked away with his hood, and said as he walked: "The flower gun, I'll hand it over to you." ”
Jia Yin hurriedly ran to the big tent of the Chinese army, but found that many people had already arrived, and Zhang Jianxiong had an irrepressible joy on his face after seeing the handsome case.
"Everyone, great news, the puppet emperor Song San has run away......
Before Zhang Jianxiong's words fell, there was a commotion in the tent, and Shi Cheng raised his arms and roared: "A certain pioneer!" ”
Zhang Jianxiong patted the handsome case and said: "Our news is still a step late, the enemy has withdrawn the Japanese elite cavalry, and now only the old opponent Cao Han led the infantry to confront us, Anshan You can be the vanguard, but the poor are the most difficult to fight, don't rush too fiercely." ”
"Order."
"General Li, Huzi, you two have to hurry up and act, hurry up and try to stab Song San's ass, don't be entangled, and return as soon as he is pushed, our target is not the puppet emperor, nor Chang'an City, but the 120,000 army on the north bank of the Wei River."
Li Danqi laughed: "This is making dumplings." ”
"That's right, I've quickly informed General Shi and General Yang, and when you two come back in circles, just meet up with their troops and defend the south bank together."
"Order."
"Everyone else, let's prepare, today's battle is a fight, let the sons and daughters cheer up."
"No."
