At the gate of Yizhou City, the lazy defenders suddenly stood up, and a group of cavalry rushed in the distance, rolling up the loess in the sky.

Without him shouting, the defenders on the tower had all reached the low wall, raising their hands to shade the sun and peeping out.

The pioneer rode ahead of everyone, and had already rushed to the city, and said loudly: "Shaozai Yang Lin is here, open the city gate quickly." ”

It turned out that Yang Lin and the others rode too fast, and they came earlier than the messenger, and the defenders looked confused and didn't believe it, and shouted in the city tower: "Let me go and report it." ”

After finishing speaking, he ran to the city and went straight to the Yizhou Office. The personal guards of the Banzai battalion under the city rode to a high post, held up the horsewhip in his hand to shade the sun, and made sure that there were no other troops, so he waited patiently.

The prefect of Yizhou and the defense envoy almost arrived at the city gate with Yang Lin, Yang Lin sat on the horse, and the two officials of Yizhou were promoted by Yang Lin himself, and he recognized him at a glance, and hurriedly went down to the city to open the door to greet him.

Liu Liangsi, the defense envoy of Yizhou, took his horse whip, instructed the soldiers to lead the horse away, and hugged his fists and said: "The last general does not know that Shaozai is coming, and he has missed the distance, and he hopes that Shaozai will forgive his sins." ”

Yang Lin snorted coldly and scolded: "I have a thousand cavalry, and the march is several miles long, so the men and horses are around your Yizhou, rushing towards the city, you don't even know anything." If the Jurchens hit the city, you don't know? ”

Liu Liangsi wiped the sweat from his forehead and confessed his guilt, and the prefect next to him, Zhao Changxu, said with a smile: "Shaozai came from the east, and it was our territory all the way to the sea, and we didn't have sentry agents in Yizhou, but they were all planted in the west." ”

Yang Lin's eyelids drooped, and he pointed at Lu Qian and said, "You take two hundred people, run around the west of the city, and return at dusk." ”

Lu Qian had been riding the horse for so long, his face was not tired, he pointed to his lips and whistled, and rode away, followed closely behind him by more than two hundred guards.

The others surrounded Yang Lin and came to the top of the city tower, Yang Lin was sitting on the city tower, and Zhao Changxu and Liu Liangsi next to him looked worried.

Yang Lin didn't say a word, time passed slowly, the soldiers all took out dry food to gnaw, Liu Liangsi stepped forward with a smile and said, "Shaozai, can you go to the city to eat?" ”

Yang Lin waved his hand and reached out to ask for a piece of cake from Lu Wang, who pulled out the wine bag and stuffed it into his hand.

After taking a bite of the cake from this spirit, Yang Lin looked at the two people behind him and said, "It's already a dereliction of duty to go out for so long and not see your sentry report back." Can't the Jurchen Tartars touch the city in half a day, if you don't see anyone at dusk for a while, you will fuck me off. ”

The two of them trembled, looked at each other, and did not dare to speak again. Although Yang Lin no longer has the power to dismiss them from their official positions, in this place, after Yang Lin spoke, the two of them had no choice but to resign and return to their hometowns.

After another half an hour, the anger between Yang Lin's eyebrows continued to accumulate, and finally a few light horsemen came down from the city, and after being led up to the city by the defenders, he hugged his fists and said: "Qiyu Mansion Zun, defense envoy, in the area of White Horse Mountain, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared, I don't know what the way to come." ”

Liu Liangsi and Zhao Changxu glanced at each other, and at the same time sent a sigh, Yang Lin snorted coldly and scolded: "Finally, you two inferior people have not neglected their duties to the point of incorrigibility, when I sent you to office, I told you that there are a large number of Jurchen soldiers and horses in Yunzhou, and the number is more than all the enemy troops in Youyan combined, and Yizhou, where you are located, bear the brunt, let you be careful."

This Yizhou is surrounded by dense forests and giant trees, and there are three rivers, which are very secretive. You are not letting go of a sentry on the west side, and no one comes to report until the east is approaching dusk, do you take my words for anything, a breeze in your ears? ”

The two of them bent over with their fists clenched at the same time, in a cold sweat, and they didn't dare to refute. Yang Lin flicked his sleeves, strode downstairs, and dropped a sentence: "Beat each with twenty military sticks, give them a long memory, and then gather all the officials to meet me at the government office." ”

The prefect and the defense envoy are already the respect of the government and the backbone of the bureaucratic system of the Great Song Dynasty, but as soon as Yang Lin said a word, someone immediately stepped forward and executed the two of them on the spot. Yang Lin's prestige in Yandi is really extraordinary, this place was originally taken by him step by step, and those Yandi heroes who surrendered only recognized Yang Shaozai.

offended Yang Lin, as an official in Yandi, you have to be afraid at any time, for fear of accidentally "arousing public anger"...

In Yizhou City, on various streets, groups of guards suddenly appeared. The officials in the city hurried to the prefect's office, and the people on the road were also infected by this emotion and became a little nervous.

Benefiting from Gaoshan's lobbying, Yizhou City returned to the Song Dynasty without experiencing the war, and there were still some Khitan generals in the city who were unwilling to follow Yelu Dashi, and they were also integrated into the Song army camp. In these places, Hu and Han have lived together for a hundred years, and many Khitan people have been sinicized and have become a part of the land of Youyan.

The people of the city, regardless of Hu and Han, all crossed their arms and watched curiously on the street, turning heads and ears from time to time, and their worries about the situation were revealed between the lines.

They had just settled down, but they had heard of the cruelty of the Jurchens, and finally returned to the Great Song Dynasty for a few days of stable life, and no one wanted to continue to fight.

---

When Yang Lin of Yizhou City gathered the generals, on the Great Wall outside Danzhou, Han Shizhong's face was full of solemnity.

Looking at the Jurchen camp under the Great Wall, slowly gathered in one place, Han Shizhong already smelled an unusual breath.

"The Jurchen Tartars are acting a little abnormally, it's strange, we have more casualties than them, and they actually gathered to avoid the battle..."

Zong Ze glanced at him and said in a condensed voice: "Do you want to attack?" ”

"In my opinion, it is very possible, but those tartars are all squeaks drilled out of the ice caves, and the animals that will produce several layers of lard when the sun is shining, and they want to brush the tiger's whiskers against the scorching heat of our Han land, and I am afraid that things are not so simple."

Zong Ze stood up, walked to his side, and looked down at the sand table together. Their eyes suddenly moved to the north, and they raised their heads in an instant, and said with a tacit understanding: "Ulzhou!" ”

Zong Ze said excitedly: "Is it the Jurchen of Ulzhou who wants to fight with them on both sides and attack me Youyan?" ”

Han Shizhong was silent for a moment, his rough face was clearly defined, and his leopard eyes narrowed slightly: "Don't be unguarded!" The two of them deduced this result just by the actions of the Jurchens under the mountain, which shows that the level is much higher than that of ordinary generals.

It is no wonder that there is such a big wave of sand, and those who can leave a name for eternity in the catastrophe of the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty are mediocre people.

At this time, a small soldier came in outside, and Han Shizhong recognized that the military uniform was a unique outfit of the Banzai Battalion, and immediately took a step: "Shaozai is here?" ”

The person who came held his knees, and without waiting for his breath to be even, he hurriedly said: "Less... Shaozai had an order, and Zong Ze led the army back... Go back to Changping and live in Yongguan, and strictly prevent the Jurchens from attacking from Ulzhou! ”
