"Order all armies to strengthen their alert and defense in case the enemy attacks again!"

The warm sun is westward, Zhenjiang Ferry, Jingwu Army camp, Yang Congyi is dressed in civilian clothes, and after giving the order, he immediately leaves the camp.

The spies who entered the Guazhou crossing the enemy camp sent back the news that the enemy army had issued a strict order and would cross the river within three days!

After learning the news, Yang Congyi decided that Yan Liang would die within two days, and if the matter of rebellion was delayed for a long time, the news would be leaked.

He remembered that Wan Yanliang was killed by the rebels at night, maybe tonight.

Wan Yanliang can't die, the only one who can save him, or can inform him to take precautions in advance, is Yang Congyi.

But Yang Congyi, as the former commander of the Zhenjiang army, how could he contact the emperor of the enemy country? Once you try to make contact, you will either be killed by the Jin people or by the Song people, and the only way to do this is to quietly cross the river and contact privately.

However, now that the two sides of the strait are tense and each side is on guard, it is impossible for any small boat to cross the river freely, and it is simply impossible to cross the river without knowing it.

Thinking about it, I can only make up a reason to personally cross the river to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, which can barely be justified.

But it was not easy to persuade Su Zhong, Pan Cheng and others to agree to him crossing the river in person, Yang Congyi took a lot of words, and everyone reluctantly agreed, but the condition was to select six good men from the army to accompany him and protect his safety.

Yang Congyi's current identity is no longer the command of an army, but the command of the former army of more than 20,000 people, and he is responsible for the first river defense of the entire Zhenjiang River, and the responsibility is heavy.

They had good reasons to refuse, even though they knew that it would have a great impact on his actions, so they had to agree.

Yang Congyi, dressed in civilian clothes and dressed as an ordinary businessman, accompanied by an entourage dressed as six soldiers, left the Zhenjiang ferry port by small boat, went down the river for more than ten miles, and then crossed the river and landed on the land north of the river from a riverbank covered with barren grass.

After arriving in Jiangbei, Yang Congyi ordered two soldiers to go east to the direction of Taizhou to investigate the enemy's situation, and ordered two soldiers to go north to reconnoiter in the direction of Yangzhou, while he himself took two soldiers to the west quietly and rushed to the direction of Guazhou.

After the sun sank in the west, night soon fell, and a few faint and faint stars appeared in the sky.

Wan Yanliang came to the outside of the camp, stood on top of Turtle Mountain, and looked south.

It was dark in the south, and there were a few faint lights in the distance, I don't know if it was a bonfire by the river, or the lights in the city, gray, and there was no color in sight.

But Wan Yanliang looked at the south in a daze, and his eyes were full of heat.

There are Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are West Lake, there are Qiantang, that is his lifelong desire, if he can't cross the river to the south in this life, can't have the rain in the south of the Yangtze River, like a dreamlike water town, even if he is the king in the north, what is the point?

But Wan Yan Yong, who has always been as timid as a mouse, dared to rebel in Liaoyang when he led his army south, it was impossible for him to do it alone, it must be those guys in Yanjing who had different intentions who were provoking and instigating, and even supporting, if he knew this, he should not have had good intentions in the first place, let Yan Yong go, let alone let those self-righteous old guys go, they should have been killed!

It's too late to say anything now, and I don't know how many people in Yanjing have taken refuge in Wan Yanyong.

When I go back this time, I must kill all those disobedient and contrarian guys, and teach them a good lesson!

Desire, regret, resentment, etc., extremely complex emotions are intertwined, and the expression on Wan Yanliang's face becomes more and more gloomy.

A hard military captain standing not far away felt an overflowing murderous aura, even if he was as close as him, he didn't dare to approach such a quiet emperor at this time.

The news from outside the camp has been coming for a while, and he knows that if anyone upsets the emperor at this time, their head will not be saved, whether it is the minister of the army or an ordinary soldier, there will be no room for intercession and justification.

Because he witnessed too many things that lost his head for no reason, the captain became very cautious, no matter how urgent the news came from outside the camp, as long as the emperor had a murderous aura, he would never come forward to report and find a knife to cut his neck.

I don't know how long it took, the night was a little deeper, and the river breeze became colder and colder, carrying moisture, and went straight into the mink fur, Wan Yanliang, who had been standing at a high place for a long time, felt a chill.

Glancing at the sparks in the south of the Yangtze River again, Wan Yanliang turned around and returned to the camp.

The hard military captain saw that the emperor turned around and the murderous aura on his body disappeared, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from outside the camp that he has caught a Song spy and said that he has caught a Song spy , but the spy said that he is the emperor's old man and saved the emperor's life in his early years. They can't pay attention to it, so they come to report it and ask the emperor to decide! ”

"Song people spies?" Wan Yanliang asked casually.

"Yes. I heard that he sneakily approached the garrison camp, and after being discovered, he first said that he was a businessman and had a big business to do with the emperor, and later said that he had saved the emperor in his early years, had a good personal relationship with the emperor, and got along with the emperor day and night for a month or two. When he caught his soldiers, he wanted to be killed on the spot, but he was worried that the emperor would punish him, so he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he specially asked the emperor to decide! The hard army general replied.

"Since it's a spy, if you kill it, why bother to ask me. If these little things have to be decided, then what is the use of asking them? Wan Yanliang said coldly.

There were too many Han people who had contact with him in the early years, when he was left behind in Yanjing, which one of the people who intersected with him was not a Han person, they have not asked for officials to find trouble over the years, and if they were a little unsatisfactory, they would be yin and yang, and they would talk about the past when they met people, and he was ruthless and unkind, and he was ruthless to kill some, and the so-called old talents who fought for fame and fortune, caused trouble, and tarnished his reputation in his name gradually became fewer.

Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer people who dare to claim to be his old man, and even fewer people who dare to use his prestige for personal gain.

Now for the so-called old man, Wan Yanliang basically doesn't bother to think about it, and he doesn't want to ask, it's best to kill all of them, and it's best not to let him know, so as not to tarnish his reputation.

An emperor, who is alone and has no relatives, where did he come from?

"Yes!" The hard army general took the order and turned to leave.

After a while, Wan Yanliang suddenly turned around and said, "Wait, he's from Song?" ”

When the general heard this, he hurriedly turned around and said, "Yes, it is said that it is a Song person who came from Jiangnan by boat." ”

"If it's a Song person, bring it over and take a look, and ask about the situation in Jiangnan in person." Wan Yanliang said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The hard army general retired and left.

In the river breeze, Wan Yanliang slowly paced back to the camp.

Half an hour later, a Song man dressed in ordinary clothes was brought into the camp by the hard army guards and sent to Wan Yanliang.

He raised his eyes and looked at the Song man in front of him, and for a moment he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he simply didn't think about it, he just stood in front of him, why bother, if it was worthless, he would kill it later.

So he smiled and said, "Do you know why you were able to see me alive?" ”

Song Ren replied without humility or arrogance: "Because the business I am going to talk to you about next will only make money and not lose money for you, and it will be a big profit, once you miss this opportunity, you will not even have room for regret." ”

"Oh, what kind of business will I regret? You might as well go and ask, who did I do business with? Wan Yanliang laughed and smiled very happily. It's been a long time since anyone talked to him like this, and I really miss the old days.

"More than ten years ago, I saved you once, and I came here today to give you a big gift." Song Ren also had a smile on his face.

Wan Yanliang heard this with his own ears, and a strange feeling arose in his heart, and then smiled: "Is there a quid pro quo?" Do you want money or officials? ”

Song Ren shook his head: "I don't want anything, as long as you go back to the north safely." ”

"Back to the North? Are you kidding me! My army of millions, you have a mouth, and we will go back? I know that you are from the Song Dynasty, but as long as you answer a few questions from me and promise to bring a few words to the Emperor of Song on my behalf, I will spare your life. Wan Yanliang put away the smile on his face, and his face turned cold.

Song Ren was smiling, still calm, only to hear him suddenly chant a poem and said: "Try to recall the long road back then, the gentleman's heart looks forward to breaking the tide of Qiantang, and he needs to be fearless, and there is a period for the emperor to climb." Waving his hand to repel the obstacle fog, the soldiers swaying and removing the thorns, looking south at the willow tail embankment of the West Lake, crossing the river like flat ground! ”

As soon as he heard this poem, Wan Yanliang's face changed suddenly, and his gaze staring at the other party suddenly became fierce.

"Who are you? Where did you hear these poems? Wan Yanliang asked in surprise, he had already destroyed this poem, and no one in the entire Jin Kingdom had ever seen or known about it, how did he, a Song person, know about it?

Song said: "This is a poem I wrote to you, how can I not know?" ”

"You are?" Wan Yan Liang was startled, and almost stood up, he finally recognized this familiar Song man!

"Yes, it's me, Yang Lao Wu."

Standing in front of Wan Yan Liang was not a bystander, it was Yang Congyi, who crossed the river from Zhenjiang and came to Jiangbei to investigate the enemy's situation.

"Come on, I want to catch up with the old people, without my message, no one is allowed to enter the palace to disturb!" Knowing Yang Congyi's identity, Wan Yanliang immediately ordered that it was strictly forbidden for irrelevant people to approach, and there were some questions that had plagued him for many years, and it was time to find an answer.

Everyone in the hall retreated, leaving only Yan Liang and Yang Congyi.

"What shall I call you now? Without you, there would be no me now. Many years ago, I sent people south to Lin'an many times to inquire about you, but they found nothing, why did I take the initiative to find this place today? Wan Yanliang had a lot of questions in his heart.

"I am still Yang Lao Wu, and you are already the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, with the respect of your emperor, call me Yang Lao Wu." Yang Congyi said with a smile.

Then he said: "Back then, you were rich and I was poor, so naturally I wouldn't go to you, otherwise I wouldn't be looked down upon by you?" But today, the situation is very different, and if I don't come, I'll be alive and well, and you'll die. ”
