Chapter 267: Something Seems Strange
Chapter 267 seems to be strange
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the armament was lax and the combat effectiveness was low!
This may be what many people know about the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty...... Yuyin also thinks so, because the Tokyo Forbidden Army, known as the most elite in the Northern Song Dynasty, has long been rotten. But in fact, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song army was not without combat effectiveness. The most powerful soldiers and horses were not the Tokyo Forbidden Army, but the Northwest Army in Guanzhong. At the same time, the quality of the Song army in Hebei was also uneven. For example, the Song army of Zhongshan Mansion commanded the soldiers and horses under Wang Yan, and their combat effectiveness was also quite strong.
When the Jurchens went south, they encountered resistance in Zhongshan Prefecture.
Wanyan Zongwang originally planned to continue southward after conquering Zhongshan Mansion, but was dissuaded by Guo Yaoshi.
Pharmacist Guo, who wanted to gain a firm foothold, knew the situation of the Song army very well. He persuaded Yan Zongwang to adopt a strategy of encircling Zhongshan Mansion without fighting, and used a small number of troops to contain the Song army of Zhongshan Mansion, while Guo Yaoshi was the vanguard, and went around Zhongshan Mansion to attack Weizhou, in order to cross the Yellow River as soon as possible and reach Kaifeng. As long as the Yellow River can be crossed, the Song army of Zhongshan Mansion is not worried.
After Yan Zongwang, he listened to Pharmacist Guo's advice without hesitation.
Located on the north bank of the Yellow River, the Song army in Junzhou has had little training since the Xuanhe Dynasty.
What's even more ridiculous is that the soldiers known as the Ma Army can't even get on a war horse, let alone fight on the battlefield.
On December 30 of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin army was in Linzhou.
Its vanguard is only more than 3,000 people, who would have thought that the Song army in Junzhou heard that the Jin soldiers were coming, and they did not dare to fight at all, so they fled in a hurry.
Tens of thousands of troops, self-defeating without a fight!
On the first day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, the Song army on the south bank of the Yellow River saw the banner of the Jin army, and without saying a word, they set fire to the pontoon bridge on the river.
At this time, the Yellow River was already thawed, and the water on the river was turbulent.
When Guo Yaoshi saw that the Song army on the south bank had fled, he immediately searched for boats along the riverbank, found more than ten small boats that could not even sit on ten people at a time, and launched an attack on the south bank of the Yellow River overnight. After Yan Zongwang arrived, he found several big ships. This made the river crossing faster.
In this case, as long as the Song army on the south bank put up a little resistance, it would be difficult for the Jin army to cross the river.
Even when Zong Wang sent Guo Yaoshi across the river by the river, he also sighed and said: "Lao Zhao has no one, if there are more than 1,000 people on the other bank, if we want to cross the river, it will be difficult to reach the sky." ”
Guo Yaoshi replied: "After crossing the river today, it will be Huazhou."
Cao Rong, the ruler of that slippery state, has a good relationship with me. I had already sent someone to contact him. When our army crosses the river, Cao Rong will surrender the city. When the time comes, the last general and Cao Rong will lead their troops to Kaifeng and open the door to Tokyo for the eldest prince. ”
Zong Wang was naturally very happy.
The Western Route Army was blocked in Taiyuan and could not withdraw for a while.
After Zong Wang captured Yanshan Mansion, he didn't want to continue south, but under the persuasion of Guo Yaoshi. In the end, it was decided to send troops.
This battle must be resolved quickly!
If the time drags on, the pressure on your own home. also bigger.
Even before going south, Wanyan Zongwang didn't expect that this trip to the south would be so smooth.
If he really conquered Tokyo, his position in front of Emperor Taizong would be more stable......
"General Guo just acts, after we cross the river, we will rush to meet you!"
In this way, in the eyes of Song Qinzong and others, the Yellow River moat did not work at all. It made the Jin army drive straight in.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Zhao Chen's face turned white!
Feng Zheng and Zhang Zhennu's performances could no longer make him interested again, so he hurriedly called Zhao Duofu and others, hurriedly went downstairs, and prepared to return to the palace from Donghua Gate.
Something so big happened. Where is he still in the mood to watch the play?
In fact, as early as when Zhao Chen learned about the situation, Gu Duozi downstairs had already prepared a carriage.
Zhao Chen and others boarded the carriage one after another, and Yuyin and Zong Ze followed them all the way and sent the convoy to Mahang Street. Coming out of the Fung Lok Building. If you turn on the street, you can go straight to Tung Wah Gate. At this time, the shops on both sides of the street had long been closed, and the street was deserted, not to mention the noise and bustle of the earlier days. …,
"Xiao B, wait!"
Zong Ze suddenly called, and Yu Yin stopped in surprise.
"What's wrong, sir?"
Zong Ze said: "It doesn't seem right! ”
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the doors of several shops on the side of the road, and the tents suddenly shattered, and dozens of black shadows rushed from the house to the carriage from the roof, all dressed in black, with black scarves on their faces, and holding bright blades in their hands.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang ahead, and the flames soared into the sky.
The bones who walked in the front flew the flesh and blood of the people and horses that were blown up.
Yu Yin couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and immediately shouted loudly: "Prince, be careful, there are assassins!" ”
Almost instinctively, he rushed out and was at the end of the convoy in an instant. At the end of the convoy, there were four or five bones guarding it. It's just that the man in black appeared suddenly, and he didn't wait for them to react at all, and then he slaughtered for a while.
The two bones fell in a pool of blood, their breath dying.
When Yuyin arrived, he saw that the carriage at the back had lost control, and the coachman was shot under the carriage by a sharp arrow, and the hair of the horse pulling the carriage stood on end and rushed towards the carriage in front. If they collide together, the whole convoy will be a mess. Not to mention that there are still Prince Zhao Chen and Emperor Roufu and others sitting in the carriage, I am afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed at that time. Yu Yin gritted his teeth, didn't dare to hesitate, ran over, reached out and grabbed the reins.
Fortunately, the carriage was slow, and Yuyin was not too far away.
As soon as the horse was frightened and wanted to go crazy, Yu Yin grabbed the reins, followed by his arms around the horse's neck, and made a thousand pounds under his feet, roaring, and throwing the horse to the ground.
"Don't panic, don't panic, hide in the car, don't come out!"
Sitting in this carriage was the crown prince Zhao Chen.
Suddenly encountered an ambush, Zhao Chen was actually very panicked in his heart, and he wanted to get out of it when he got up.
However, when he heard Yu Yin's shout, he immediately stopped, and his small body shrank in the corner of the carriage.
Yu Yin was still wrestling with the startling horse, but the two men in black had already pounced on him. It was too late, it was fast, and at this critical moment, he heard Zong Ze roar, snatched a big knife from a man in black, split the man in half with his backhand, and stopped the two men in black.
on the street. It's a mess.
After Yu Yin subdued the startled horse, he hurriedly came to the side of the carriage, blasted open the wall of the carriage with a punch, leaned in, and said loudly: "Prince, follow me." ”
"Teacher save me!"
Zhao Chen's little face turned pale with fright, and when he saw Yu Yin, he hurriedly stepped forward.
Yu Yin just picked Zhao Chen out of the carriage. I saw a man in black suddenly come out from the side, and the bright steel knife came down with the sound of the wind. Yu Yin didn't have time to dodge, and suddenly turned sideways, and the big knife almost fell short of his body. He took a jade ring step under his feet, and suddenly stuck to the arms of the man in black, his body turned suddenly, and his shoulder hit the chest of the man in black fiercely.
Yu Yin has practiced to the fourth level of kung fu, this body skill. Almost up to the realm.
As soon as he leaned in, the man in black was suddenly knocked out of the air, spitting blood out of his mouth. Wet the face towel on your face......
Just this moment was enough to break his bones and tendons.
"Xiao Yi, save my ......"
Ahead, Emperor Roufu and Zhu Xuan got out of the carriage and stood beside the carriage, shouting in horror.
Zhao Chen came out this time, but he did it casually, and he didn't bring too many guards, only a dozen bones and duozi accompanied him.
But now, most of the Gu Duozi were killed and wounded. All around are murderous men in black.
Where have the two little girls seen such a scene, they are frightened.
As soon as Yu Yin stabilized his body, before he could put Zhao Chen down, he saw the two black-clothed men rushing towards Emperor Roufu and the others, and he was also anxious. Put Zhao Chen on the ground. glanced left and right, picked up the big silk on the carriage, used both arms, and with a tiger roar, the big silk was pulled out by force. ..., "Prince." Grab my clothes! ”
Yu Yin roared, and rushed towards the two black-clothed people with a big pole with the thickness of the bowl.
At this time, Zhao Chen was like an obedient child, and his little hands were tightly grasping Yu Yin's clothes, which could be said to be inseparable.
The nearly four-meter-long pole, with a gust of wind, hit the chest of a man in black.
The man in black was knocked into the air and flew into the air, fell a few meters away, and immediately lost his breath......
Yu Yin took turns on the big pole and shouted: "Emperor Roufu, the eighteenth sister is here...... Zong Rulin, come with me to Donghua Gate. ”
The closer you are to Donghua Gate, the safer it is.
Zong Ze also killed three or four black-clothed people on his side, and seeing that Yu Yin was protecting Zhao Chen and the others, he was obviously a little stretched, so he rushed over with a knife and fought side by side with Yu Yin.
This old man is sixty-eight years old, but he is in good health and has great courage.
The gray beard was stained with blood, and a big knife made it even more vigorous.
"Princess, take a good look at the little brother, follow me!"
Yu Yin picked up the big pole, straight like a mad tiger, unstoppable.
It's just that he feels strange in his heart: this place is only more than a thousand meters away from Donghua Gate, so why is there no movement in Donghua Gate?
At this moment, a group of people rushed from the end of the street.
It was Gao Yaoqing who was the leader, and shouted loudly from afar: "The prince is going to panic, Gao Sanlang is here to escort him!" ”
"The wind is tight, pull it!"
Those black-clothed people saw that the assassination of Zhao Chen was unsuccessful, and even more reinforcements arrived, and the governor could not be disobeyed, so they hurriedly shouted, turned around and left.
On the street, there are many alleys.
The alleys are interconnected like a labyrinth.
Yu Yin stopped, his heart pounding.
The scene just now is really thrilling!
Looking back now, Yu Yin still felt chills all over his body.
"Xiao Yi, you're not hurt, are you?"
Seeing the assassin retreating, Emperor Roufu came back to his senses, and seeing that Yu Yin was covered in blood, he hurriedly helped him with concern and asked softly.
"It's okay...... How is the little brother? ”
Zhao Chen raised his head, and his little face still looked a little pale.
However, when he heard Yuyin asking, he stubbornly said: "Teacher Hugh should look down on people, but I learned sumo wrestling from you......"
Zhao Duofu was stunned, "Little brother, when did you learn sumo?" ”
As a child of the royal family, how can you learn sumo? Thinking that back then, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin beat the Great Song Jiangshan with a big stick, I am afraid that he would not have thought that his own children would be so reluctant to martial arts. Zhao Chen heard this and hurriedly closed his mouth.
Yu Yin said softly: "When the little brother saw Gao Sanlang and them, he immediately went back to the palace. ”
"Hmm!"
Zhao Chen took a deep breath and thanked Gao Yaoqing and the others like a little adult.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Yin looked at Zong Ze, but saw Zong Ze standing next to him. The steel knife was already in its sheath, but it was still vigilant.
It was only at this time that the guards of Donghua Gate moved.
The team of people and horses galloped over, and Hulala came to Zhao Chen.
"Diji, go and persuade the little brother, don't let him have a seizure here...... If there is anything, I will go back to the palace and do some more considerations, and I must have gotten the news if I want to come to the official house. ”
Zhao Duofu knew. The more this happens, the more you have to calm down.
She hurriedly grabbed Zhao Chen, and after meeting those forbidden soldiers, she quickly retreated towards the palace under the protection of the forbidden army.
"Dare to ask the strong man, the surname of Gao?"
A middle-aged man who looked like a military attache stopped Yu Yin.
"Xu Dutou, this is Yu Yin, the commander of the military horse of the military village in front of the palace."
The middle-aged man is extraordinary, and he heard Gao Yaoqing's introduction. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Thanks to the Jade Command, if something happens to the prince." The front secretary of the palace is really shameless...... Xu Ning, the head of the golden gun class in front of his own palace, will be closer to him in the future. "..., Xu Ning?
Could it be the golden gunner Xu Ning?
In the Water Margin, the Tianyou Star who broke the chain of horses with a hook and sickle in one hand, Xu Ning, the golden gunner?
Yu Yin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Xu Ning's hand. Sure enough, in Xu Ning's hand, there was a spear, about two meters long. Among them, the spear head is about 30 centimeters long, and the lower part of the spear head has two sideways protruding barbs, and the hook tip is curved inward, which is a typical hook sickle gun. Merely. Xu Ning's hook sickle is thicker than ordinary hook sickle, about six inches, and it looks quite heavy.
Yu Yin hurriedly responded, "In the future, please ask Xu Dutou to take care of it." ”
After Xu Ning and Yuyin exchanged pleasantries, they said goodbye to Gao Yaoqing. He rushed back to the palace with his people.
The Golden Gun Squad is subordinate to the Front Division of the Palace, and is responsible for the security work in the imperial city...... It's just that Yu Yin still doesn't know why the Donghua Gate Forbidden Army disappeared for a long time when Zhao Chen was assassinated. However, he was thinking at this time, is this Xu Ning the golden gunner in the Water Margin?
Gao Yaoqing said: "Xiao Yi should be careful, this Xu Ning is a plaster, if it is pasted, it is difficult to take it off." ”
"Oh?"
"This person has skills, and his martial arts are extraordinary, and he was originally the first master of the front division of the palace.
It's just this character...... Hehe, this guy wants to climb up, and he has offended many people. In addition, his martial arts skills are not bad, especially the hook and sickle, which makes him even more superb, and he is envied by many people, so that he has only become a head until now.
At the same time, he is stingy and doesn't know anything, that is, my father has the intention to promote him several times, but in the end he was stopped by others......"
Hearing Gao Yaoqing's words, Yuyin was stunned!
In other words, this Xu Ning is not a member of the 36 giant thieves of Jingdong, and has been staying in Kaifeng?
"Xiao Yi, let's go too...... Later, the people from Kaifeng Mansion will come over, even if they want to leave, it will take some trouble. ”
Yu Yin looked at the mess all over the place, nodded, and Zong Ze quickly left the scene with Gao Yaoqing.
Gao Yaoqing wanted to go home immediately and report the matter to Gao Yu.
Yu Yin pulled Zong Ze to Guanyin Lane, and said as he walked: "I didn't think that at this time, this kind of thing would happen." ”
"yes, that's amazing."
When Zong Ze and Yuyin came to Sweet Water Lane, the direction of Mahang Street was already brightly lit.
"Xiao Yi, you say, who will assassinate the prince?"
"This ......"
Yu Yin hadn't thought about this before, but after listening to Zong Ze's words, his face changed and he fell into deep thought.
"Boss, could it be a thief?"
"Why did the thief assassinate the prince?"
"Hmm...... Create a terrifying atmosphere and make the people of Kaifeng panic! ”
Zong Ze thought about it, nodded, and then shook his head again, "I'm afraid it's not that simple...... If this is the case, it will not be more difficult for the ministers of the DPRK and China to pick out any one to assassinate than the crown prince. Moreover, the effect of assassinating the ministers of the DPRK and China may be even more able to create the terrifying atmosphere that Xiao Yi said, don't you say? ”
"This ......"
Yuyin rubbed her nose, not knowing how to answer.
Before the two knew it, they came to Guanyin Lane.
"Brother, what's going on, isn't it arguing with someone?"
Huo Jian also noticed the movement outside, and when he opened the door, he saw Yu Yin and Zong Ze walking over, covered in blood.
He was also taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Yan Nu and the others were also alarmed, and for a while, the lights in Guanyin Alley were bright, and it was a mess.
"Don't panic, it's just that you're in trouble...... Lao Huo, you will be notified early tomorrow morning, so that the brothers should be more careful these two days.
The thieves have crossed the Yellow River, and it is estimated that there will be a war in Kaifeng in the past few days.
On the way, he also encountered an assassin ambushing the prince...... It is estimated that in the near future, the city will not be too stable, so let everyone not act rashly. ..., in an instant, there was a commotion in Guanyin Alley.
Fortunately, these people, most of them outlaws, quickly calmed down.
Huo Jian drove everyone back into the house, and Yu Yin and Zong Ze returned home surrounded by Yan Nu and others.
Changing the bloody clothes on his body, Yu Yin asked, "Yang Niangzi, how many empty rooms are available in Guanyin Lane today?" ”
Yang Jinlian hurriedly said: "Yesterday, I made a deal with Sister-in-law Gu at the entrance of the alley, and her family has moved away and gone to Zhengzhou...... Now in this alley, there are only two families in the middle who refuse to sell their houses, but the houses are currently empty. ”
"Sister-in-law Gu's house...... It seems that the house is not small. ”
Yu Yin turned his head and said to Zong Ze: "The east second compartment is too messy, and the old man lives over there, I'm afraid it's not convenient."
It's better to live at the entrance of the alley, anyway, the house is empty, and when the old man comes, they can take care of each other......"
When Zong Ze heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
He was not polite, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Xiaoyi for this." ”
Afterwards, the two sat down in the living room, and An Daoquan also came over to check Yuyin to make sure that it was okay before returning to the house to rest. ”
"Boss, you just said that it wasn't the thief's doing, so who could it be?"
Zong Ze shook his head and said softly, "This is not clear...... However, looking at the situation just now, the assassin was obviously prepared, and even the route of the prince's return to the palace was well designed. And at the time of the incident, the Donghua Gate Forbidden Army did not react, which is also a strange thing. Xiao Yi, this matter is strange, it is not as simple as it seems...... If you don't get it right, there's another secret here. I guess those assassins, don't even want to catch any of them in Kaifeng Mansion, you and I need to be more careful. (To be continued.)
