Yang Congyi thought about it for a moment and replied: "If the Taiping Ferry is not lost, the enemy army will not be able to cross the river, the defense line will not be lost, and the Taiping Ferry will be held above all goals!" There are defenders in Taiping City, and Lord Yu will organize an army to defend the city, so we don't have to worry. If Lord Yu personally sends someone to ask for help, you can send 500 people back to help, and when the battle is over, return to the ferry immediately. In addition, the two of you are not allowed to leave the Taiping Ferry at any time, and until I come back, every half hour, you must patrol the river defenses, and you must not interrupt at will! ”

"Yes, sir!" Yuan Hua accepted the order without hesitation.

Commander Ma seemed to have some thoughts in his heart, and he was a little hesitant.

"The 500,000 enemy troops on the opposite side will cross the river and go south at any time, the officials and people of Taiping and Jiankang are moved when they hear the wind, they don't know how many have run, and the people are panicking, and our soldiers are the same, not many people think that we can win this battle, in their opinion, although we can hold it now, it is still a matter of time before we fail. In this case, any disturbance may cause the camp to flee, I am not in the camp, if you do not show up, once there is an accident, the consequences are unimaginable! Therefore, your mission in Taipingdu is also very important, and you must not take it lightly! Yang Congyi patiently explained to them.

"Yes, the Admiral understands!" The horse commander should be holding his fist.

"Okay, Taipingdu will be handed over to you."

After Yang Congyi finished speaking, he turned around and got on the bridge of the ship, and took a few steps onto the deck of the warship.

At the sound of the order, the warship went ashore, followed the front ship, and headed against the current towards the southern tip of the island.

More than an hour later, more than a dozen warships that had reached the southern tip of the island lined up and anchored on the shore one by one, waiting for news from the front.

The southern tip of the island, where the ships anchored and laid ambush, was no more than three miles away in a straight line from the mouth of the river where the enemy ships were located.

Sentinels landed on the island, occupied high ground, looked across the river to the mouth of the enemy army, and monitored the movement of enemy ships.

It is said that Xue Wang led ten warships to the river outside the enemy's camp, and anchored at a distance of sixty or seventy zhang from the river bank.

The Great Song warships have appeared on the river many times in the past few days, but because the two sides are far away, they are not within the effective range of bows and arrows, and there is no sign of approaching the attack.

Seeing that the Great Song warship appeared on the river again, the Jin army sentry patrolling the river bank immediately reported the military situation.

The superior officer hurried to the riverside to take a look, and then went back with a sneer.

Leaving only a few words, just ten boats, one person and one pee, they all have to be overturned, and if there are no forty or fifty ships in the future, don't pay attention to it.

The sentry thought about it himself, and felt reasonable, they had a million troops, and the ten ships of the Song Kingdom were only a thousand people, even if they were allowed to go ashore, they would never dare to go ashore, there was no need to worry about whether there were ships on the river, how many ships there were, let alone ten, that is, fifty ships, one hundred searches, what could it be? Can it be worth a million troops? Obviously, it can't be resisted.

If it can withstand it, the army of the Dajin Kingdom will not go all the way south smoothly without encountering the slightest resistance, so the Song boats and Song troops that appear on the river are not worth seeing, anyway, it will not take a few days, and when the army crosses the river, it will be fish and meat on the board.

At this time, the sentry looked at the warship dozens of feet away from the river bank, as if an outsider was watching a play, and yawned again and again.

Just when he yawned, a few words floating from the river drilled into his ears like thunder: "Wanyan Liang killed the king and usurped the throne, lewd ** girl, cruel and easy to kill, absurd and unreasonable, ruthless and unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial, rebellious ministers and faint kings, the sky is intolerable, and people and gods are angry!" ”

"Wanyan Liang killed the king and usurped the throne, lewd ** girl, cruel and easy to kill, absurd and unreasonable, ruthless and unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial, rebellious and unscrupulous, the sky is intolerable, and people and gods are angry!"

"Wanyan Liang killed the king and usurped the throne, and the ........ of the lewd ** girl"

Before the sentry came to his senses, the shouts in the river came over and over again, clearer and more neat than before.

The sentry's face changed drastically, and he asked another person urgently: "What should I do?" Do you want to report it? ”

"What's the report, you're not afraid of death!" The other sentry whispered.

"Are you just going to let them scream and scream?" The sentry asked.

"So what can we do, can we go and shut their mouths? Besides, since you dare to do it, I'm afraid that people can't say it! The other looked indifferent.

"Are all the rumors true?" The sentry asked in a low voice, under the cover of the constant shouting on the river.

"It's not a secret, who doesn't know." The sentry glanced at the other party and replied with some disdain.

"It's also true that the king's murder usurped the throne?"

"Really, he killed it with his own hands."

"What about the lewd ** girl? Also true? ”

"Of course, otherwise where did the thousands of beauties come from in his harem, aren't they all killed the ministers of the clan and snatched them from their homes? The old and unsightly ladies of the royal clan and the ministers' families who were killed by him were killed on the spot, and the young and good-looking ones were all pardoned, and they were given a place to live, and then summoned into the palace one by one for their pleasure! ”

"Really? I've never touched a woman like this, and he has so many beauties? ”

"People are emperors, who are you, can you compare?"

"I can really enjoy it, if only I could have a beautiful woman one day!"

"Dream on, it's not bad if you don't die here, and you still want women!"

"I heard that the emperor went south this time and brought a lot of beauties with the camp, you are well-informed, do you know which beauties he brought?"

"It's not that I'm bragging, if you want to talk about the emperor, I'm really much better than you, I'm not afraid to tell you, one of my clan brothers is in the hard army!"

"Tough army, amazing. So how many beauties did he bring south? ”

"I'll tell you too much, and you don't know, so I'll tell you one of them. This concubine is called Yan Chongjie, very young, now only sixteen or seventeen years old, very, very beautiful, the first time she entered the palace, she was taken by the emperor, and she was directly left in the harem, placed in an independent palace, day and night. The most interesting thing is the process of her entering the palace, in fact, this concubine entered the palace to visit her biological mother. ”

"Ah, to see her mother? And who is her mother? ”

"Yes, her mother is also in the harem, and she is also the emperor's favorite concubine, but the emperor snatched it into the palace from the family of the minister, so this concubine named Wanyan Chongjie is not the emperor's biological daughter. It is said that back then, Wanyan Chongjie was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and once she entered the palace to find her mother, but she didn't want to be bumped into by the emperor, you don't know, how beautiful Wanyan Chongjie was at this age, the emperor was attracted by just one look, so the emperor immediately held a very fragrant banquet in the harem, all the concubines participated, and Wanyan Chongjie who entered the palace to visit her mother was no exception, of course, she was not a concubine at that time, she could only watch from the sidelines, but such a fragrant banquet would definitely attract her heart to be moved, and it was difficult to sleep, So when the emperor entered the room where she was staying that night, she did not resist, and did a good thing directly, and then was hidden by the emperor. Her mother is also very beautiful, the original emperor is very fond of her mother, since she has her, the emperor has snubbed her mother, and she has not visited her mother for a long time, so that her mother knows that she is competing with her mother for favor, since then in the palace, the mother and daughter turned against each other, openly and secretly fighting, and made a lot of trouble, and finally made a real fuss, the emperor was annoyed, so he killed her mother, and finally she was young and beautiful, and she was favored by the emperor, and she got the position of concubine Zhao at a young age, and now she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, is still the youngest concubine in the harem. This time, the emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the six concubines brought with him with the camp were led by Wanyan Chongjie, and even took the march and battle with him, which was a real exclusive favorite, which shows how beautiful she is! ”

"Oh my God, is it really pretty? If you can take a look, it's worth dying! ”

"Don't say it, many people were killed just because they glanced at the emperor's concubine. There were rules in the palace and the imperial camp that the guards had to avoid or bow their heads wherever the concubines haunted, and anyone who dared to look up would be executed immediately. Similarly, if a concubine glances at one of the guards, both the concubine and the guards will be put to death. If the light is not good, or at night, the guards and concubines suddenly bump into each other, whoever speaks first will be exonerated and the one who speaks later will be directly executed. Therefore, you still don't have delusions, even if you are really willing to die, you may not be able to see this Chongjie Concubine Zhao, she has always been by the emperor's side. ”

"It would be nice if I could get close to her one day!"

"When that day comes, your life will be gone!"

"The Song people are still shouting, really don't you want to report it?"

"Report a fart, there is no wall built by the river, they are not deaf, and they still use us to report? If the above really dared to report it, the emperor would have known about it a long time ago. ”

"Okay, then our brothers won't be nosy, as long as it's not dozens of ships landing, let them go."

"Wanyan Liang killed the king and usurped the throne, lewd ** girl, cruel and easy to kill, absurd, ruthless and unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial, rebellious ministers and faint kings, the sky is intolerable, and people and gods are indignant....."

The high-pitched and neat shouts carried from the river to the river bank, and then drifted to the barracks.

The officers and men in the army gathered, there were a large number of people, they had nothing to do for a long time, and when they were bored, they heard this shout, and suddenly came to the spirit, and after the Han soldiers in the army explained, soon rumors spread and discussions.

When the commanders learned of the situation, they hurriedly sent people to check on who was shouting and spreading rumors.

They soon got the news that there were Song people in the river who were driving boats and shouting on the river, disturbing the morale of the army.

Suddenly this unexpected situation, the main generals did not know how to respond, those indiscriminate words were obviously slandering the emperor, which was very detrimental to the emperor, but the ears of the soldiers were on their own heads, and it was impossible to forbid them to listen, if this situation was allowed to continue, the army's morale would be chaotic.

The commanders stationed in Linjiang hurriedly went to the commander of the front army and reported to him the enemy situation on the river.
