Chapter 125: The Eve, Two Places (2)

"Ziyu, are you here?" Wang Shen asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He looked over intently, and saw that Lu Can's body was full of mud spots, as if he was rolling around in a rotten field.

As a northerner, since crossing over to the Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Shen has been fighting thousands of miles in the rainy south, feeling that his body and bones have been soaked in rust by the water vapor on both sides of the river.

The hazy spring rain that had fallen for several days in a row has finally cleared up, and I finally saw the long-lost sunshine. The roads and fields had dried up, and he had an indescribable sense of comfort.

Wang Shen used to participate in outdoor sports a lot, and he was better. Lu Can is a typical Huaibei person, and he loves cleanliness, and he has long been unbearable for the humidity in the south. It's strange that it's so messy today.

Lu Can: "The water of the Ba River has receded. ”

Wang Shen: "The water has receded, what is the situation now?" ”

Lu Can: "A few days ago, the peach blossoms flooded, and the water of the Ba River was six feet deep. Blocked by water, our Sizhou army and Kong Yanzhou could only stop fighting, and confronted each other across the river, and both the enemy and us were recruiting people to build pontoon bridges. But before the bridge could be built, the water receded. This Ba River is also strange, when the water rises, it receives big waves, but once the flood season passes, it is very dry. Now the deepest part is not up to the lower leg of the person, and the shallowest part is only to the instep. ”

Speaking of this, he looked surprised.

Wang Shen was also very surprised, thought about it, and suddenly remembered something. patted his forehead and said, "Ziyu, I heard Yan Yumeng say that this Ba River originates in the Dabie Mountains of Guangzhou, Henan, and the amount of water is related to the climate there. When the river is big, it is a hundred feet wide, but when it droughts, there is no water for a year. Come to think of it, there is a big drought over there. ”

Lu Can suddenly realized: "I see, there is no tree without roots, water without source in the world, and the ancients did not deceive me." It seems that there should be a big drought in Henan this year, and it is not good that it will affect us. ”

"Silk." Wang Shen was taken aback by his speculation, and hurriedly said: "Ziyu is reasonable, this matter must be guarded against, go, go out and have a look." ”

The two immediately rode out of Huanggang City and walked around the field for a long time. The sun outside was already so bright that it was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

But the farmland has been filled with water, and the people have begun to raise seedlings, which makes Wang Shen feel a little at ease.

The water receded, and the bed of the Ba River was exposed. In the past two days, the Sizhou army and Kong Yanzhou's scouts crossed this small river, going back and forth endlessly, and the killing was very lively.

Tomorrow is the day when Wang Shen launches a general attack, in fact, even if he doesn't take the initiative, Kong Yanzhou will come over.

The Qi and Huang regions are too small and poor, with a small population, to support so many troops. Kong Yanzhou wanted to use this as a springboard to cross the Yangtze River and go to Ezhou to eat with the army, Wang Shen wanted to keep his hard-won territory, and there was no room for reconciliation between the two armies.

*****************************************************

At this moment, in Qichun City, in Kong Yanzhou's mansion.

The entire Kong army also moved, and the surging water of the Ba River was now only one foot left, and it could easily cross it, which made Kong Yanzhou's heart ecstatic--the gate to Ezhou was opened--as long as Wang Shen's roadblock was cut off.

In the past two days, Kong Yanzhou did not return home, and stayed in the barracks all day.

The whole of Qizhou was shrouded in the tense atmosphere that preceded the Great War.

Kong Yanzhou's army was also one of the units with outstanding combat effectiveness among the troops left behind in Tokyo that year, and it was outnumbered. In the early years of Jianyan, after the Jin army crossed the Yellow River and entered Henan, it also fought several battles with the enemy, which can be regarded as sharpened.

It's a pity that after leaving the left-behind division, the military discipline of the troops slipped at a speed visible to the naked eye. Later, he shaved his hair and fled all the way to Qizhou pretending to be a Jurchen, and the morale of the troops was long gone.

At this moment, Kong Yanzhou's army is also a standard rogue, and naturally there is not the slightest spirit of joy when he hears about the war. Especially after Wang Shen went deep into Qichun with 20 horsemen to call for battle in the Beida camp and calmly left, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts: this Wang Dao is as brave as a tiger, although his men and horses are good, they may not be able to win the battle!

Not only the sergeants think so, but even the family members in the army also think the same way.

"Mother, my father will send troops to Huangzhou tomorrow to fight a decisive battle with Wang Daosi, and my son will enter the barracks later, and I have come to say goodbye to my mother, mother, you and your sister take care." Kong Xian stood in front of his mother Lin in a military uniform and whispered.

He was kicked by Kong Yanzhou that day and suffered some internal injuries. In addition, I have been sad in the past few days, and my face looks unusually pale, and my eyes are full of eye droppings.

Seeing his son so haggard, Lin stretched out his hand and gently touched his head, and whispered, "Xian'er, you have to be careful." This war is no joke, swords and arrows have no eyes, and if you are not careful, you will be injured. If something happens to you, what will happen to me and your sister? ”

Thinking of the ugly things Kong Yanzhou did last time, and thinking of his daughter Kong Lin, Lin's heart was like a knife.

Kong Yanzhou is a beast, and he and his daughter can still stay in the army, because she gave birth to Kong Xian's son. And his son has also begun to lead troops into battle in the past two years, which comes in handy.

Seeing his mother's gray hair and wrinkles on her face, Kong Xian became sad and asked in a low voice, "How is my sister?" ”

Lin's tears fell: "I haven't eaten or drunk for two days, and the whole person seems to be stupid...... How can there be such a beast in the world, tiger poison does not eat children......"

Kong Xian: "I'll go see my sister." ”

Immediately entered Kong Lin's room with his mother, only to see his sister lying on the bed with a pale face, her eyes fell on the willow tree outside the window, looking at the fluttering cotton wool, her eyes seemed to be dull, and she turned it for a long time.

shouted a few times, but Kong Lin still didn't move.

Kong Xian couldn't hold back any longer, and grabbed his sister's hand: "Little sister ......"

Suddenly, Kong Lin jumped up, shrank in the corner, and screamed: "Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me......"

"My miserable son!" Lin hugged his daughter and let out a painful voice: "God, God, what did I do wrong, you want to do this to my Lin'er, to my Xian'er?" ”

Kong Xian's tears poured down: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I am your virtuous brother, and I will protect you. Sister, mother, don't worry, I will come back alive in this battle, I swear, I will spend my life protecting you. Don't cry, don't cry, I want you all to be well. ”

However, Kong Lin kept shouting: "Don't touch me, no, no, no, don't touch me!" "It's like I've gone crazy.

And Lin is already banging his head against the wall.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Kong Xian hugged his mother and sister and shook him: "Mother, sister, I think you also know that just yesterday Wang Daosi personally came to Qichun and said in front of the soldiers of the whole army that he wanted to marry his sister, as long as you marry your sister, everything will be fine." Rest assured, I will do my utmost to make this happen. Sister, after you get married, you will follow your mother, don't stay in this dirty place again. ”

It's strange to say, Wang Daosi's three words seem to have this boundless magic, Kong Lin instantly quieted down, his eyes regained his brilliance, and his mouth repeated repeatedly: "Wang Daosi, Wang Daosi." ”

"Yes, yes, sister, you're going to marry him." Kong Xian said: "Wang Daosi is a big husband who promises a thousand gold, and I have heard everything he says. ”

"General Liu Fu, brothers Kong Jun, this is a dowry gift to Kong Yanzhou. Since we are each other's family in the future, we will not take your life. Bring a message to my old man of Mount Tai, I have heard for a long time that Miss Kong Er is a famous beauty, if she can marry such a fairy, it is a blessing for Wang. Immediately send the lady eight to the sedan chair. If she does not leave her, I will treat her with courtesy, and promise her life and death. If so, I will bring my own 100,000 tiger ben that Pinghuaixi, hit Yelu Ma Wu, and kill Yan Ba and leave quickly. ”

He repeated Wang Shen's words yesterday word for word.

"Life and death, life and death......" Kong Lin's eyes lit up, and a piece of pink appeared on her pretty face.

"Yes, yes, sister, don't worry, Wang Daosi will come back tomorrow with the master of the tiger to marry you, and wait!" After calming Kong Lin, who was in a trance, Kong Xian asked his mother in a low voice: "Mother, where are you willing to go with your sister to Wang Daosi?" ”

Kong Xian's mother: "Xian'er, what is Wang Daosi's character?" ”

"Strange man, great husband." Kong Xian said: "After this person arrives in Huangzhou, he will appease the people, comfort the orphans and widows, and have the name of benevolence, and he will be able to serve his mother for the rest of his life." ”

Speaking of this, his tears fell again: "It is the son's fault that the child is not filial and cannot support his mother." ”

"Son, it's not your fault, it's not you're not to blame." His mother touched his face: "My mother is willing to go to Wang Daosi with your sister, how can it be better to stay in this tiger and wolf's den." ”

"It's just...... Is Daddy going to let you go? ”

"Don't mention that beast, he's not your father." Kong Xian's mother cried: "The reason why I gave birth to you in the first place was because I was robbed by Kong Yanzhou, a brute, and your grandparents, grandmothers and uncles all died under his knife. It's all in the past, and there's no point in bringing it up now. However, my mother is old and ugly now, and if she wants to go there, she doesn't care if she is surnamed Kong. Mother is just worried that if you go to the Sizhou Army with your sister, how can you be here alone? ”

Kong Xian: "Mother, don't worry, my son is fine, I'm my father's son, can he still kill me?"

"Do you treat him as a father, and when he is a son?" Kong Xian's mother touched his chest: "Son, you were almost kicked to death." ”

Kong Xian didn't know how to answer, so he just said, "My son will be fine, it'll be fine." ”

Suddenly, my mother giggled and sneered: "The dignified Kong family army, thousands of men, was so frightened by my aunt's twenty horsemen that he didn't dare to go out of the camp one step, happy, happy!" In my mother's opinion, in the next battle, you will be defeated by the Sizhou army, and it is best that Kong Yanzhou's beast can be slaughtered by his uncle. ”

Her face was full of resentment and grief, and Kong Xian was chilled.

"Wang Daosi wants to marry me with thousands of troops, and the person I like should be such a hero." Kong Lin kept saying: "If I want to marry, I will marry such a hero, Niangniang, my hair is so messy, I can't let him see it." ”

She sat down in front of the bronze mirror, picked up a comb and combed her hair vigorously, tearing the clumps of hair off.

Kong Xian's spirit finally collapsed, howled, snatched the comb and threw it out the window: "Sister, sister, I'll go to Lang Zhong to get you medicine...... Heavens, heavens, what's the matter, you shouldn't have let me be born in this world! ”
