Chapter 610: Entrusting Zhenjiang

"Lord Yu, are you teaching the main officer?" Ye Yiwen was reprimanded, and his face could no longer be hung up.

"Lord Ye, Zhenjiang is in such a mess, isn't it your responsibility?" Yu Yunwen competed against each other.

"If you win a game, you will be so arrogant? If you have the ability, you can also guard Zhenjiang! Ye Yiwen got up suddenly and shook his hand to show it.

"Although Yu is not talented, at the moment of crisis, he will not flee when he hears the wind, and he will not ignore the lives of desperate soldiers! Yu did not leave Taiping at the time of crisis, and he will not leave Zhenjiang Mansion at this time, no matter whether he can hold Zhenjiang or not, Yu will live and die with Zhenjiang! If Lord Ye ignores military affairs, it is better to come to peace and enjoy happiness as soon as possible, so why be afraid here! Yu Yunwen was not afraid and did not get up.

"Yu Yunwen, you deceive people too much!" Ye Yiwen turned around and scolded angrily, furious.

"Lord Ye is in Zhenjiang, maybe the imperial court still thinks that you are presiding over the river defense here, and you have made great achievements, but I don't know that you have not taken the slightest responsibility, rather than misleading the emperor and the court so much, it is better to leave earlier, so as not to cross the river by the enemy army, and the court will hold you responsible!" Yu Yunwen did not save face for his boss at all.

In his opinion, if Zhenjiang can't hold it, the Great Song Dynasty is dead, and no one has the face to live, what is the face of the boss?

"Good! Good! Good! If you have the ability, you will defend Zhenjiang! Ye Yiwen was choked and had nothing to say, and turned to leave.

Yu Yunwen was unmoved when he saw the other party leaving, but the anger and resentment in his heart disappeared slightly.

After the mood gradually calmed down, Yu Yunwen called Yang Congyi in, told him about the matter of Zhenjiang, and then asked him how to arrange Jiangfang.

The loss of Guazhou was expected, but no one in Zhenjiang presided over military affairs, which made Yang Congyi feel very surprised, although Liu Qi was seriously ill, it was not even possible to arrange for someone to take over military affairs, perhaps there was another hidden secret.

But it was not easy to say this to Yu Yunwen in detail, so he suggested that he go to visit Liu Qi first to find out the specific situation. The matter of Jiangfang, Liu Qi should have made arrangements before, but now Zhang Jun can't do it, so he has to inquire about him, after all, he is the existing famous marshal of the Great Song Dynasty, and his reputation in the army is unmatched, and the armies of Zhenjiang, except for him, I am afraid that no one can effectively lead them.

Before the discussion in Guazhou Town, Yang Congyi had seen the faces and temperaments of the commanders of the various armies, and Liu Yan, the commander of the Chinese army, was Liu Qi's nephew, and in front of Liu Qi, they all dared to provoke Liu Yan's thorn and not give him face, not to mention behind his back.

Yu Yunwen doesn't know much about things in the army, but he also knows the importance of the old commander to stabilize the morale of the army.

Liu Qi was seriously ill, but he did not leave Zhenjiang Mansion, when the Jin people went south, the situation was in crisis, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, even his wife and son who came to Zhenjiang with him were taken to Jiangbei, and he fought all his life, even if he wanted to die in the closest place to the battlefield.

Yu Yunwen took Yang Congyi to Liu Qi's mansion to pay respects, and after the report, Liu Qi's son personally came out to welcome the two of them.

Yang Congyi saw Liu Qi with a sallow face and a weak breath in front of the hospital bed, his all-white hair and beard were a little messy, and he didn't seem to be taking care of it.

When he heard that someone had come to see him, he struggled to sit up.

Yu Yunwen hurriedly stepped forward and was about to hold him up and let him continue to rest, but saw Liu Qi gently wave his hand and stop him.

In the end, with the help of his son, Liu Qi sat up and leaned on the bed.

"Lord Yu, forgive me." Liu Qi leaned against the bed and said a sentence softly with some difficulty.

Yu Yunwen said: "The handsome should take care of his illness, how is his health in recent days?" We are still waiting for you to lead us to defeat the enemy and drive them back! ”

Liu Qi shook his head slightly, then raised his hand, grabbed Yu Yunwen's hand, and said with great strength: "You don't need to ask about the condition." The imperial court has raised soldiers for 30 years, but nothing has been accomplished, and the great achievement was established by you, a Confucian student, and we warriors are ashamed! Now that you're here, Zhenjiang is safe! ”

Yu Yunwen clenched the other party's hand, and hurriedly excused himself: "The marshal has a good reputation, if the battle of Taiping Prefecture is not for the marshal to send elite soldiers and strong generals to support in time, Yunwen is afraid that it has already become a pile of dirt at the Taiping Ferry, holding Taipingdu, Yunwen may have some credit, but if there is no reinforcement sent by the marshal, Yunwen alone will not be able to stop the enemy army crossing the river." As for destroying the thousands of ships of the enemy's navy and making them lose the ability to cross the river, this is all the credit of the reinforcements sent by the commander, Yunwen only prepared the logistics and did not dare to steal it! It's okay for Confucian to go to the front once in a while, but to finally defeat the enemy and drive the enemy away, he has to rely on brave and fearless soldiers and shrewd commanders! ”

Liu Qi said: "You don't have to be too humble, and don't put gold on the face of the old decay, without you in Taiping to form a river defense in time and lead the army and people to fight against the enemy, Taiping and Jiankang will be lost, and Zhenjiang will not be able to hold it." The First World War of Taiping, with outstanding meritorious achievements, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who can match? ”

"The handsome man has won the award, Yunwen really can't afford it. I don't dare to monopolize the credit of the Battle of Taiping! General Yang, tell the marshal about the battle. Yu Yunwen glanced back at Yang Congyi, who was standing aside.

Yang Congyi hurriedly took two steps forward, hugged his fists and bowed: "The last general, the commander of the Jingwu Army, the reinforcements on the West Road, Yang Congyi, meet the marshal!" ”

"Okay, get up. It seems that the old man's vision is not too bad, and it can be regarded as a great achievement to assist Lord Yu to defeat the enemy army crossing the river and defend Taiping Prefecture. Remove the word 'right', I hope you will make persistent efforts to fight the enemy! ”

Liu Jian gasped, slowly, and with a lot of strength, he finished what he wanted to say, and looked at Yang Congyi's eyes, which were also full of praise, relief and expectation.

"Yes, the last general will obey the orders of the commander and swear to fight the enemy to the end, never return to his homeland, and never give up!" Yang Congyi's heart moved, and he immediately accepted the order and made an oath in front of this meritorious old man.

"Good! If you don't return to your homeland, you won't give up! The old man is old, maybe he can't wait for that day, you will definitely be able to do it! When Liu Jian heard this, he suddenly became excited, his face was a little bloody, and he coughed.

"Don't get too excited, don't get too excited, wait until you are cured, so that you can lead us to defeat the enemy, cross the river and go north, and regain the lost territory." Yu Yunwen tried to smile as much as possible.

After resting for a while, Liu Jian said: "Old decay is not done, the battlefield in the future is for you young people, I am old, I can't drag you down anymore." ”

When Yu Yunwen heard this, his face changed slightly, but then he returned to normal, and then said: "The marshal has fought for the Great Song Dynasty for decades, and has made countless meritorious deeds, which has made the enemy frightened. The great marshal is famous, even if he doesn't go to the battlefield, he sits here, and the enemy does not dare to invade Zhenjiang Mansion easily! ”

"Not really." Liu Jian shook his head slightly, and then said: "Old and old, I recommended Zhang Jun to the imperial court earlier to come to Zhenjiang to preside over the defense, but he was delayed, and he was too old and lacked energy. I heard that the enemy army is coming eastward and has arrived near Zhenzhou, but the old man can't even get out of bed now, and the crisis in Zhenjiang can only be handed over to you, a Confucian student, and the old man feels guilty! ”

Yu Yunwen hurriedly said: "The big handsome can't, how can Yunwen be virtuous, he can teach Zhenjiang, this situation has to be presided over by the big handsome!" ”

Liu Jian shook his head: "The old body is no longer complete, after crossing the river to the north, I have been struggling to support, and now I really can't hold it, the limit is approaching, and I can't survive this winter." Although I can't continue to fight for the Great Song Dynasty, no matter what the battle in Zhenjiang is, I will never leave Zhenjiang, and neither will my wife and children, even if we die, we will die here! ”

Liu Qian's son was silent, and the expression on his face did not change much, obviously he had heard his father say this, even more than once.

"Dashuai, don't say that, take care of your illness, you will definitely get better, the soldiers are looking forward to you leading them to defeat the enemy and regain the lost territory!" Yu Yunwen grabbed Liu Kuan's hands tightly, extremely sincere.

"Liu Huai, bring the things." Liu Jian glanced at the son who was standing aside.

The son answered, took out a small box from the futon next to the bed, held it in both hands, and handed it over.

Liu Jian took it in his hand, and then put the small box in Yu Yunwen's hand, looked at him and said: "I can't go to the ground anymore, I don't know how many days I can last, Zhang Jun has been missing for a long time, the army can't be left without an owner for a day, from today on, you are temporarily appointed as the counselor of the Zhenjiang Governor's Office, temporarily leading the Zhenjiang army and people, presiding over the river defense, and resisting the enemy." This handsome seal will be kept by you for the time being, and when Zhang Jun takes over in Zhenjiang, or the imperial court sends someone else to take over, you will hand over the handsome seal. ”

Hearing this, Yu Yunwen was shocked, and hurriedly pushed the box in his hand away, but although Liu Jian was old and seriously ill, his bones were still there, he was a Confucian student, where to shirk it, he could only be busy saying: "The handsome must not, Yunwen is a Confucian student, where can he afford such a heavy responsibility!" Please also ask the marshal to take back his life! ”

Liu Jian suddenly let go of his hand, and was silent for a long time before he said: "The situation is so unbearable, there are still a few people in the Manchu Dynasty who dare to defeat the enemy army, and who else dare to think and come to the front line, besides you?" Which one is not thinking about running away, preparing to escape? Are there still half of the officials in Zhenjiang Prefecture? In the current situation, except for you, I'm afraid no one in the Great Song Dynasty dares to resist, and no one can afford to resist it. Do you want to watch Zhenjiang be destroyed under the enemy's iron cavalry, or lead the army and civilians to fight back? ”

Yu Yunwen's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly took the small box in his hand, held it with both hands, and saluted Liu Jian respectfully: "Yunwen obeys!" Swear to live and die with Zhenjiang! ”

"Good! The affairs of Zhenjiang will be handed over to you from today onwards. I also considered how to deploy and defend against the enemy. Liu Huai, hand over the volumes of documents and maps to Lord Yu. Liu Jian suddenly felt a little relaxed on his face.
