In the main hall of the Loquat Temple, the abbot fell to the ground covered in blood and had lost his breath, and the little novice Wuming threw himself on him and cried.

When the abbot was dragged to the back of the temple by his apprentice Wuming, he saw that the women were about to be ravaged, and he couldn't bear to step forward to stop them, intending to let the women escape, but he was hacked to death by the red-eyed soldiers.

Yu Wenwen led a new army from Hanjin on the Han River, a hundred miles northeast of Gangneung, through the rumored silted up ancient canal to the south, and they entered Changhu Lake in the northeast of Gangneung and landed a few miles north of Loquat Temple, where they rescued the women who had been abused by Chen's army.

"People can't be resurrected after death, and the little master still asks for condolences." Yang Ji stood aside and whispered, and the soldiers outside the hall went in and out to clean up the blood on the ground.

Some sharp-eyed people fled from behind the temple but most of them were blocked in the temple, and a small number of men tried to resist and were killed.

"The abbot is merciful and compassionate, and he wants to save her from being destroyed by himself, and he must have ascended to the West Heaven and Bliss, so let's go to the earth as soon as possible." Yang Ji comforted Wu Ming's crying liver and intestines.

He learned through Wuming's intermittent crying that he was an orphan picked up by the abbot master, and the abbot was still a wandering monk at that time, so he took little Wuming around, until he came to the loquat temple a few years ago, and the original abbot - the current abbot's brother was seriously ill, and when he was dying, the master took over the abbot's duties to support this small loquat temple.

Loquat temple is close to the city, but not the favor of pilgrims in the city, the incense is not prosperous, on weekdays, loquat village and nearby scattered residents on the incense to worship the Buddha, the temple is in disrepair for a long time, the original monks have left, and then only the old abbot and the small novice Wu Ming two, the world is unpredictable, encountering a military disaster, now the old abbot has gone, and finally Wu Ming is left alone. Yang Ji asked several of his subordinates to assist Wuming in cleaning up the body of the old abbot and moving it to a side room so that he could be buried at a later date.

Outside the temple. Yu Wenwen stood under the tree and looked at the few Chen Jun prisoners in front of him: "Say it." How do you want to die? ”

The captives just kept kowtowing and begging him to spare his life, Zhang Yu took a girl with red spots on her face to the side, Yuwenwen glanced at the girl and then said to the captive in front of him: "Does this girl's uncle know the whereabouts?" ”

"I don't know."

"Pull it into the forest and cut it!"

"Don't, don't, military master!" The prisoners were so frightened when they saw that the other party was so 'decisive in killing', and he racked his brains to think about it, saying that a few men were escorting several women to escape from the wall behind the temple, and the specific situation had to be asked by the comrades who chased them out at that time.

Yuwenwen asked them to search for a long time from the living captives to find a person who was chasing and killing at that time, but the result was that the men who escaped had been hacked to death.

"Uncle!" The red-spotted girl cried when she heard this, her face turned pale, she covered her mouth with one hand, and her body shook and barely stood still. Seeing this, Yuwen Wen sighed in his heart and then said: "Since you killed someone, you will pay for your life!" ”

"Spare your life, military master!" The crowd was trembling and crying and kowtowing, and one of them seemed to remember something, and then said that there was a man wielding a dagger that prevented them from approaching, and finally they chased and ran in the northwest direction for a while, and when they saw that they could not catch up, they fired arrows and shot people, and the man rolled down the ravine, and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

Like a drowning man grabbing a straw, the red-spotted girl looked at Yuwenwen with pleading eyes, and Yuwenwen saw this and said to Zhang Yu: "Zhang Yu, you find a few people to lead this girl to identify the body, if the few who were killed are not, let this guy lead the way to the ravine!" ”

"Also, this will be the commander of the army, not the army master! Now pray to the Buddha to bless that person from dying! ”

Yuwen Fifteen saw that Lord Lang was busy with something, so he interjected: "Unify the army." None of these thieves ran away, what should the women do? ”

There are two meanings of disposition: one is to release the person, and the other is to continue the 'seizure'. Because this time they went south, it was a raid, but if they let people go, it would not be good if the news leaked.

The loquat temple is in the east of Jiangling City, and now the main force of the Chen army besieging Jiangling is outside Jiangling City, and there are also a large number of Chen troops in Jiangjin, more than ten miles south of the loquat temple.

Yu Wenwen naturally knew what was at stake, but he already had a plan, first asked the soldiers to gather the women together, and persuaded him with good words to persuade him that he was the official army who came to attack the Chen thief, and now he should garrison the loquat temple to strictly defend against the Chen thief's counterattack, and the ladies should also return home quickly so as not to be affected by the war.

The simple-minded woman was about to get up and leave, but more people fell silent after looking around, for they saw more and more soldiers, and even cavalry, pouring out from the north side of the temple.

After the loquat temple crossed the Changhu Lake in the north, dozens of miles to the northeast was the Hanjin garrison of the Liang State, and they heard each other call themselves the official army, so they all thought that these people were there to guard the official army of Hanjin, and now they are going south along the ancient canal that is silted up in many places and difficult to travel to the south to reinforce Jiangling.

The women thought so much, so where was they willing to follow the 'good intentions' of the young general in front of them and return home, and now it is much safer to flee back to the undefended village in a hurry than to stay in this heavily guarded loquat temple, and the other party should not have done anything dirty after saving him before.

Not to mention anything else, if they returned to the village and met Chen Jun's guerrilla Sanyong, they didn't jump into the fire pit again, so everyone was just silent for a moment, and they had the courage to ask to stay in the loquat temple for refuge, and the women who had just begun to get up to leave also came back to their senses and stopped to stay.

Seeing that Yu Wenwen lightly left a group of women like frightened birds in the temple like this, Shi Wansui, who had just arrived on the side, was quite admired, he came all the way to witness the tragic situation of these women who had just encountered a military disaster, and knew that if they were forced to stay in the temple at this time, it would definitely cause a burst of crying, although they could be suppressed at that time, but it would inevitably make chickens and dogs jump.

In order to prevent leakage, it is natural that people cannot be released, but it doesn't make sense to reason with women, not to mention that these women have just been frightened, and as a result, Yuwen Wen is so eager to get caught, but it is easy to solve the problem.

After solving trivial matters, Yu Wenwen convened a group of generals of the new army under his command to discuss military affairs, which was the goal of their rapid southward journey through the ancient canal this time. The original purpose was to connect the Yingdu of Chu State, which is now north of Jiangling and Hanjin and Hanjin on the Han River, which was later extended to Jiangjin, so that the Yangtze River and the Han River could be communicated, so that the Yangtze River and the Han River could be communicated to facilitate the transportation of grain and grass in large quantities to the north.

The ancient canal was dug from the Spring and Autumn Period to the end of the Three Kingdoms, and gradually silted up, and the general Du Pre, who guarded Xiangyang after the Jin State destroyed Wu, organized manpower to dredge the old waterway in view of the silting of this old waterway, which further improved the water transportation between the Yangtze River and the Han River.

The Liang State set up a Hanjin garrison in Hanjin on the west bank of the Han River, first, to prevent the Anzhou army on the east bank of the Han River from crossing the river and landing westward, and second, to prevent the Xiangyang naval army from rushing south along the ancient canal of Hanjin to the west end of the Changhu Lake outside Jiangling City.

It has been 300 years since Du pre-dredged the waterway, and the ancient canal has been dredged and gradually silted up, but the Anzhou army of Liang still remembers this waterway, and after many careful investigations, it was found that in the summer and autumn rainy season, the river water soared, and if the boat was still barely able to walk at this time.

Therefore, under the arrangement of Yu Wenming, the commander of the southward march to 'resist Chen and aid Liang', Yu Wenwen took the new army to board the ship in Fancheng, followed the Han River south, went straight to Hanjin, went straight into the ancient canal, continued to march south, directly broke into Changhu, and then landed near the loquat temple on the south bank of Changhu Lake.

As for how the Liang army of Han Jinshu was persuaded by Yuwenwen's brother Yu Wenming, it doesn't matter to them, the two brothers have their own division of labor, and now Yuwenwen has successfully landed on the shore, and the next goal is in front of him.

"Everyone, hurry up and rest, and get ready to go!" Yu Wenwen pointed the tip of the knife straight to a certain place in Yutu and said categorically.

"Order!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Lord Shi, are your seasickness symptoms getting better now?"

Shi Wansui and hundreds of newly recruited former soldiers of the imperial court army were not accustomed to water, and this time they walked more than 500 miles by boat at once, and they were shaken by waterway, and when they first landed on the shore, they all couldn't stand on their feet, and their faces turned pale.

After going ashore, half an hour has passed now, Shi Wansui has almost recovered, and seeing that his cavalry can show his strength and strength is about to carry out the next move, he is also in a mood: "The last general is fine, everyone is waiting to go south to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" ”

Leading the cavalry to march quickly to raid the enemy army is very happy to break the battle, and it is also interesting to take a boat to attack and finally change horses to break the enemy!

"Very good, Lord Chen and Lord Xu arranged for people to be stationed here and prepare dry food, and the rest of the people will rest in place and move in half an hour!"

After everyone responded again, they retreated one after another, and Yu Wenwen went around to inspect the rest and recuperation of the soldiers, but after walking around, he saw Zhang Yu leading the tearful red-spotted girl approaching.

Yu Wenwen asked, and learned that the uncle of the red-spotted girl was not hacked to death on the spot by Chen Jun's soldiers, but was shot with a bow and arrow and rolled down the ravine after escaping, but Zhang Yu led the people to look for a long time in the ravine, but there was no one alive or dead, and no body was seen.

Seeing the girl's tears rolling in her eyes, Yu Wenwen had to comfort him with kind words: "Uncle Ling has his own natural appearance, presumably he is not seriously injured and hides elsewhere, and when Chen Jun retreats, he will definitely return." ”

"Now is the time of war and chaos, and the other women have settled in the temple, girl, please rest assured, there are officials and soldiers here, and they will not let the rebel army attack and disturb."

"Thank you, General." The red-spotted girl saluted.

Yuwen Wen saw that the other party's mood was a little calmer, so he tried to ask him if he was from a nearby village, and if there were other family members, he would have to meet tomorrow.

"The people's daughter's family lives in Jiangling City, and when the thieves Chen attacked, they happened to be outside the city with their uncle, and when they saw that the thieves were besieging the city and had nowhere to go, they had to hide in the loquat temple......"

Seeing that the other party began to sobble again, Yuwen Wen hated himself for talking too much, so he had to continue to comfort: "It's okay, the official army will be able to drive away the Chen army in a few days, and when the siege of Jiangling is lifted, they will naturally be able to return to the city." ”

It's good to say that it finally made this contemporary saltless woman feel relaxed and went to the temple to rest, Yu Wenwen looked at the other party's back and couldn't help but scold: "Do you need to dodge, you bow your head when you say anything, I'm afraid that I will take a fancy to you." ’

He looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and then beckoned Zhang Yu to come closer: "How, after rowing for a day, do you still have the strength to do so?" ”

"Lord Huilang, the little one is full of strength!" Zhang Yu said loudly.

"Very well, it's up to you tonight!" (To be continued.) )
