Chapter Seventy-Three: A Great Victory

"Qian Jiedu, what the hell is going on?" Shao Keqian fled over and asked loudly, he only knew about the war in the city, and he was confused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Hey, it's hard to put into words!" Wu Cheng replied, his voice full of despair.

Shao Keqian smiled bitterly and said, "I saw General Zhao's head at the South City Gate. ”

"What, General Zhao died in battle?" Wu Yanfu was taken aback.

Qian Wenfeng was expressionless, waved his hand, and said, "These things, let's go back to Hangzhou first." ”

Wu Cheng hurriedly said: "Yes, now that the Tang army is chasing after me, let's go back to the city first." ”

Shao Keqian also knew that this was not the time to care, more than a mile away, the Tang army was still chasing closely. Qian Wenfeng, Wu Cheng, Wu Yanfu, Shao Keqian and others rushed to the front with more than 50 cavalrymen, and behind them were thousands of foot soldiers, who were out of breath and their physical strength was extremely exhausted.

This part of the foot soldiers was chased and killed by the Tang army all the way, with countless casualties, corpses piled up all over the ground, blood flowing, staining the ground red, and the Tang army was like wolves and tigers, chasing after each other. Under the pressure brought by the Tang army, Wu Yuejun panicked and ran indiscriminately, some were lucky, running wildly on the road, and some people encountered the river blocking, the people in front were still hesitating, the people in the back had already rushed over, the back squeezed the front, trampling on each other, many soldiers fell into the river, in the panic, some people were drowned alive.

The river is not deep, so it caused this tragedy of Wu Yuejun, the Tang army chased after it, the arrow feathers continued to shoot, Wu Yuejun did not have armor to protect himself, the casualties increased rapidly, and after a while, the river was full of Wu Yuejun's corpses, and the corpses flowed along the river, and the blood was red.

Qian Wenfeng, Wu Cheng and the others couldn't take care of anything else, they galloped wildly, ran for two miles, the terrain became narrower, and there were mostly dense forests and hills on both sides.

Suddenly, above the hills, groups of Tang army crossbowmen appeared, arrows rained down, and Wu Yuejun was hit by arrows one after another. Wu Cheng was shocked, rode his horse and galloped, running more than thirty steps, the war horse was hit by an arrow, and fell down with a scream, Wu Cheng fell to the ground, and blood came out of his forehead.

Wu Yanfu, Qian Wenfeng and others were in a similar situation, they rushed over by luck, and suddenly found that there were hundreds of iron horsemen in front of them, like Mount Tai, lying horizontally in front of them, and Zhu Qi, the commander of the Haizhou Naval Army, held a long knife in his hand and raised it high, and behind him, the cavalry raised their bows and crossbows in unison, making a shooting posture.

Qian Wenfeng restrained the war horse and sighed, at this point, what else could he think?

"Those who descend will not be killed!" Zhu Qi shouted loudly.

"Those who descend will not be killed!" Hundreds of cavalry behind him shouted in unison, and the sound moved the sky.

Wu Yanfu's face changed, the road in front of him had been blocked, there were pursuers behind him, and countless crossbowmen on both sides, where should he go now?

"Those who descend will not be killed!" The Don soldiers shouted again.

Qian Wenfeng stared ahead for a while and threw away the blade in his hand.

"Bell, bell!" With one person taking the lead, the rest of the Wu Yue soldiers also threw away the blades in their hands, and the commander surrendered, what hope did they have?

Zhu Qi waved his hand, and the Tang soldiers stepped forward and tied up a group of people. After Zhu Qi captured Qian Wenfeng and others, he ordered several leaders to lead troops to chase and kill, and he escorted Qian Wenfeng and others back to Yuhang City.

Yuhang City, after several hours of hard work, the people have advanced to the central axis, the injured Wu Yue soldiers can not be piled up, Yang Lian opened another place to settle, as for the Wu Yue soldiers who were buried to death, there are currently more than 3,000 people.

This battle severely damaged the strength of Wu Yue's army, and even caused a great setback to the morale of Wu Yue's army.

When the sky was bright, Zhu Qi led his troops into Yuhang from the south gate, and at the same time brought Qian Wenfeng, Wu Cheng, Wu Yanfu and other most important ministers of Wu Yueguo. Qian Wenfeng was firmly trapped, tied to a war horse, and looked depressed.

Wu Yanfu and Wu Cheng are similar, both of them are very depressed, and the taste of being a captive is not good.

"Yang Jiedu, the last general captured Qian Wenfeng, Wu Cheng, Wu Yanfu and others." Zhu Qi walked over happily, he still complained at the beginning, Yang Lian did not let him participate in the Yuhang war, but let him ambush, but he didn't expect to catch a few big fish.

It is not strange to capture Qian Wenfeng, but capturing Wu Cheng, the secretary of Wu Yue's military department, and Wu Yanfu, the Duke of Zheng Guo, is an extra surprise for Yang Lian. Yang Lian ordered the soldiers to lock them up first and talk about it later.

Hangzhou City, since Qian Wenfeng led his troops to attack Yuhang, Qian Hongyu has not fallen asleep, he is nervous. This war is related to the survival of Wu Yueguo, the war has broken out, where does he have sleep? Qian Wenfeng's news kept coming, and when Wu Yuejun had the advantage, he was full of joy, and when Wu Yuejun was not going well enough, he was full of worry.

This mood is like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down, Concubine Huang comforted him on the side, Qian Wenfeng followed his father to lead the army for many years, rich experience, now that he has invaded Yuhang, he wants to come to the end of the war, Wu Yueguo can defeat Zhou Zong, he can defeat Yang Lian, and regain the lost territory.

Although this was a comforting word, Qian Hongyu's heart was a little better, and when it was bright, he couldn't support it anymore and wanted to lean on the soft couch and squint for a while.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded, and the old minister Lin Ding hurriedly ran over, with a hoarse voice in his voice, and said, "King, King!" ”

Qian Hongyu jumped up and asked nervously and anxiously, "Lin Qing, but the war in Yuhang?" ”

Lin Ding ran for a while, panting, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with great difficulty: "King, our army has been defeated, Qian Jiedu, Wu Shangshu, Zheng Guogong and others have been captured!" ”

"Ahh Qian Hongyu was taken aback when he heard this, and fell backwards, but fortunately, the palace maid behind him helped him in time.

Lin Ding took two steps forward and said, "King! ”

Qian Hongyu breathed down after a long while, sighed, and said, "God will kill me!" ”

While the people and the Tang soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, at noon, Yang Lian approached a room. At this time, the war has become a foregone conclusion, Yang Lian's mood has become extremely relaxed, preliminary estimates, Wu Yuejun killed more than 15,000 soldiers, of which more than 10,000 soldiers were buried, and most of the rest were chased and drowned in the river. The two armies fought, and only about 3,000 soldiers were actually killed.

As for the captured soldiers, there were also more than 10,000 people, all of whom were tied with ropes by the Tang army, locked up on the school grounds, and waited for Yang Lian to fall.

In this way, the losses of Wu Yue's army were at least more than 25,000 men, and even if some soldiers fled back to Hangzhou, the number was not large, and the morale was bound to be low.

Yang Lian's footsteps woke Qian Wenfeng, he slowly raised his head, the sun was a little dazzling, Qian Wenfeng closed his eyes, and only opened his eyes after a while. Yang Lian was five steps in front of him.

"Qian Jiedu, don't come to harm?" Yang Lian spoke.

Qian Wenfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Yang Jiedu, are you sarcastic about Qian?" ”

Yang Lian smiled faintly and said, "If Qian Jiedu thinks so, it's not impossible. ”

"The general of the defeated army is to kill or chop, but he is at the mercy." Qian Wenfeng said.

Yang Lian laughed, slowly approached Qian Wenfeng, and said, "Qian Jiedu, why did Ben kill you?" ”

Qian Wenfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, you have to keep Qian and go to Jinling to invite merit." ”

"The envoy of Zhongwu Jiedu, who controls the important town of Suzhou, is a child of the Qian family, if he is brought to Jinling, this credit will definitely be not small!" Yang Lian should be reconciled.

Qian Wenfeng pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, and said, "Qian Mou didn't expect that Yang Jiedu would actually use such a trick. ”

"No way." Yang Lian opened his arms and said: "The troops are insufficient, if you want to attack the city, this loss is too big to bear, so you can only make this decision." ”

"Useful, isn't it?" Qian Wenfeng smiled bitterly again, war is not emotional, if he can think of this method, he will also use it, and the direction of consideration will be different depending on the position, which is understandable, Qian Wenfeng can think of it.

Yang Lian pulled a chair and sat down, and said: "It is preliminarily estimated that the losses of Wu Yue's army are at least more than 25,000 people, of which at least 15,000 people died in battle. ”

Qian Wenfeng pursed his lips, and wanted to resist stubbornly, and said: "Although the loss is not small, but in Hangzhou, there are at least 10,000 people, and if you recruit troops quickly, you can recruit at least more than 20,000 soldiers." ”

"Hangzhou is the western capital of Wu Yueguo, with a large population, and it is not surprising that so many people can be recruited, but the grain?" Yang Lian asked briefly.

Qian Wenfeng's breath became short, although he had already guessed that the grain in Taicang was designed and burned by Yang Lian, but what happened was still a mystery, and he couldn't help asking: "Yang Jiedu, Qian Mou really wants to know, how was the grain in Taicang burned?" ”

"It's not impossible to want to know, when Wu Yueguo surrenders and Qian Hongyu surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, the general will tell you." Yang Lian sold a pass, joke, at this time, it is not yet time to completely pacify Wu Yueguo, how could he tell the secret?

Qian Wenfeng was about to speak, but Wu Cheng woke up on the side, scolded loudly, and said: "Tang Dog invaded our land, and he will definitely die a good death!" ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "This Wu Yueguo seems to be surnamed Qian, not Wu." ”

Wu Cheng was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to speak, so he scolded again, and a Tang soldier stepped forward, grabbed Wu Cheng's face, and slapped him a few times, hitting his cheeks with blood.

"Is that enough? Not enough to fight again. Yang Lian said.

Wu Cheng's eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Lian viciously, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a tooth popped out.

"Yang Jiedu, there is a high monk outside the city who asks to see you." Zhu Qi came over at this time.

"Monk?" Yang Lian is a little strange, he is not a person from Buddhism, what are the monks doing here?

"What is he doing here?" Yang Lian asked.

"I don't know the specifics, the senior monk only said that he came to visit Yang Jiedu." Zhu Qi replied.

After Yang Lian groaned slightly, he waved his hand and said, "Please come to the study." ”

Zhu Qi answered and left in a hurry. Yang Lian ordered Tang Bing to strictly guard Qian Wenfeng, Wu Cheng and others, and left slowly. When he arrived at the study, a pro-soldier had already brewed the tea leaves, and the tea was fragrant, and Yang Lian also felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhu Qi brought a monk in, this monk has a fat head and big ears, a very white complexion, a bald head with a shiny oil, and a big earlobe, which is very blessed at first glance.

"The poor monk has extended his life, and he has seen General Yang!" The senior monk put his palms together and gave a salute.

Yang Lian also returned the salute and said, "Zen master, please take a seat!" ”

Zen Master Yanshou walked over slowly, got on the soft couch, sat cross-legged on the futon, his palms were still folded, and a string of Buddhist beads was put between his thumb and index finger.

Zhu Qi was slightly stunned, Yang Lian waved his hand, and said, "Commander Zhu, let people make some food to satisfy the hunger of the Zen Master of Yanshou." At this time, it was already noon, and Yang Lian was also hungry.

"Whoa!" Zhu Qi took two steps, called two soldiers, and asked them to wait outside the door.

Zen Master Yanshou closed his eyes slightly, and there were words in his mouth, Yang Lian couldn't hear what he was reading, so he silently tasted tea, he wanted to see what this Zen master was going to do, and he didn't say much at the moment.

After a long time of half a pillar of incense, Zen Master Yanshou opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "General Yang's body is too murderous, I'm afraid it's not good for your body." ”

Yang Lian said: "Zen master, this will be a general, and there is more killing energy on his body, this is natural." ”

Zen Master Yanshou shook his head and said, "General Yang, now there are countless ghosts in this Yuhang City, all hovering in the air and never leaving for a long time. ”

Yang Lian smiled and said, "The words of ghosts and gods, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you won't have it." Zen Master Yanshou is here, is it to persuade Yang to believe in Buddhism? ”

Zen Master Yanshou clasped his palms together and said, "General Yang, the cycle of cause and effect, the destiny is not happy." ”

"Yang is just a rough man who doesn't understand the words of the Zen master." Yang Lian threw out the word rough man again.

Zen Master Yanshou smiled slightly and said, "Otherwise, General Yang is so murderous, but he has the intention of being kind." ”

Yang Lian took a sip of tea and refused: "Zen master, Yang has never thought of being a monk. ”

Zen Master Yanshou turned the Buddha beads and said: "The poor monk is here, not to persuade General Yang to enter, but to persuade him. ”

Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "Please give me advice." ”

At this time, Zhu Qi brought someone to bring rice, all of which were fresh vegetables, made simply, and fragrant.

Yang Lian said, "Zen master, please!" And he began to eat, and he was starving.

Zen Master Yanshou didn't move his chopsticks, he closed his eyes and thought about it, until Yang Lian finished eating his meal, and Tang Bing put away all the dishes.

"Yang Jiedu, the poor monk was rewarded by King Wu Yue and presided over the construction of Lingyin Temple......" Zen Master Yanshou said slowly.

Yang Lian glanced sideways slightly, he knew that he had been there in Lingyin Temple in his previous life, and he thought it was not bad. Lingyin Temple was built for many years, and later burned down because of the war, Wu Yueguo Qian likes Buddhism, so he invited Zen Master Yanshou to preside over the revival of Lingyin Temple.

In his opinion, Yanshou Zen Master came here for the war between Datang and Wu Yueguo, in his opinion, Yanshou Zen Master came here for the war between Datang and Wu Yueguo, in his opinion, Yanshou Zen Master came here for the war between Datang and Wu Yueguo, in his opinion, Yanshou Zen Master came here for the war between Datang and Wu Yueguo, in his opinion,
