Chapter 279: The Siege of Kaifeng (2)
Chaoyangmen, Fanjiagang.
Retreating from the south bank of the Guangji River, it has been a day and night in the blink of an eye.
After Pharmacist Guo led his troops to pursue to the north bank of the Guangji River, he had to temporarily stop because Yuyin ordered the pontoon bridge to be demolished and the ferry facilities were blown up. Seventy palm mines blew up all the wharves within 30 miles of the east and west of the north bank of the Guangji River, and all the ferries were burned. In this way, even if Pharmacist Guo had the heart to cross the river, he couldn't find a way for a while.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Yin was able to withdraw from the south bank safely.
It's just that he did not return to Mutuogang, but directly withdrew to Fanjiagang. Most of the baggage of Mu Huogang, as well as the horse forage of the Heavenly Prison, has been transferred. The remaining grain and grass were also destroyed after Li Gang gave an order, and he really did not leave a grain of grain for the Jin army. At this time, Wanyan Zongwang, the marshal of the left side of the Jin army, also led his troops to reach the Guangji River. However, due to the destruction of the wharf and ferry, Wanyan Zongwang had to order to rest his troops and horses.
However, everyone knows that the Jurchens are ready to send arrows, and sooner or later they will come to Kaifeng Mansion.
But for Yu Yin, it was indeed a rare respite.
The great victory of Guoqiao Town more or less dispelled the haze that shrouded in the sky over Kaifeng Mansion. The thieves did not seem to be invincible, and for a time the people of Kaifeng were much less afraid. Even with it, Li Gang also added a lot of confidence in the court. Although he was reluctant to accept Yu Yin, he had to admit that Yu Yin's victory had indeed brought him many benefits.
Emperor Qinzong no longer thought about escaping.
When someone even persuaded him to leave Tokyo, he was scolded.
Deep down. Li Gang was quite grateful to Yu Yin. It's just that in the face of Yu Yin in his heart, he still has a little mustard.
"Old man, you're leaving!"
As soon as Yu Yin settled down, a guest was ushered in.
After Zong Ze sat down, he did not say hello to Yu Yin, but calmly told Yu Yin that he was leaving Tokyo.
Yu Yin was stunned when he heard this. "Where is the old man going?"
"With the help of Xiao Yi, after the official family talked to me in detail the night before, he ordered me to remove me from the post of deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses on the Gyeonggi East Road. Today we will go to Jinan Mansion. ”
"Boss, are you going to Jinan Mansion?"
Yu Yin was stunned for a moment, frowned for a moment and said, "Could it be that Gyeonggi East Road is unstable?" ”
"Exactly."
Yu Yin suddenly remembered. The Xuanfu envoy of Gyeonggi East Road, isn't it the famous traitor Liu Yu in history?
Could it be that this guy will not be able to surrender too?
"Han Minyi's conquest of Xiongju made Gyeonggi East Road unstable.
In return, Liu Yu was recommended by Cai Jing and intended to evacuate Jinan Mansion and go to Yangzhou to join Taishang Daojun...... The old thief is really a misguided country, and in the current situation, he doesn't think about serving the country, but thinks about one dynasty and two emperors. It is intended to make Taishang Daojun ascend the throne in Yangzhou. But I don't want to think about it, once Liu Yu gives up Jinan Mansion, Jingdong will be chaotic, and Kaifeng will also be affected.
The official family ordered me to go to Jinan Mansion immediately and detain Liu Yu.
At the same time, it also made the Hangzhou Metropolitan Supervisor Guan Sheng's Department go to Suzhou. Forcing the Taishang Daojun not to act rashly...... I wanted to stay in Kaifeng and fight side by side with Xiaoyi, but I didn't want to...... But Xiao Yi doesn't have to worry, although the thief is arrogant, he is just bluffing. Wang Yu defended Taiyuan and blocked Yan Zongbi's army. So that after the thieves crossed the river, there were only sixty or seventy thousand. It is by no means easy for such a force to conquer Kaifeng...... Although Li Boji is not good at military affairs, he is a person who knows what is important. He has decided to defend to the death, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements such as the old minister, and the thief will not be able to do anything. ”
Yu Yin listened and was silent!
Zong Ze served as the deputy marshal of Jingdong's soldiers and horses, which was somewhat unexpected to him.
In history, Yu Yin remembered that Zong Ze was the deputy marshal of Hebei soldiers and horses, but how did it become the land of Jingdong now?
But it's okay, whether it's Jingdong or Hebei, it's extremely important. …,
Not to mention that this Gyeonggi East Road is the flank of Kaifeng. Zong Ze went to Jinan Mansion to ensure the safety of Kaifeng's flanks.
It's just that I don't know who will be in charge of the Hebei Marshal's Mansion in the future.
"Boss, when are you leaving?"
"Let's leave immediately, and I'm here to say goodbye to Xiao Yi."
"Leaving so soon?".
Yu Yin hesitated, but gritted his teeth and said softly: "The boss is going to Jinan Mansion here, how many soldiers and horses will he bring?" ”
"Most of the soldiers and horses in Kaifeng are difficult to mobilize, Li Boji transferred six hundred soldiers from the front division of the palace for me, and arranged for Xu Ning to be the vanguard of the golden gun squad."
"Xu Ning?"
Yu Yin thought about it, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xu Ning may be a good candidate, but I think it's far from enough...... Since Liu Yu intends to leave Jinan Mansion, he is afraid that he is ready. If the boss doesn't have a trustworthy helper in his hands, it's also troublesome. ”
"Then what do you recommend?"
Yu Yin was reluctant in his heart, but he knew the severity.
Besides, Li Gang is determined to defend to the death, and the Black Flag Arrow Team under Pang Wanchun will have no use.
So after thinking for a while, he got up and walked to the door of the big tent, and shouted in a deep voice: "Ji Qing, come with Pang Wanchun and Niu Gao." ”
"Whoa!"
Yu Yin turned to Li Gang and said, "Don't hide it from the boss, I do have two available people under my command."
One is called Pang Zhen, and the other is called Niu Gao...... Pang Zhen was a bandit I recruited when I was in Hangzhou, and there were 200 Black Flag Arrow Corps under his command, who were superb in riding and shooting, and his actions were like the wind. I bought Bazhou horses from the boss to prepare for the ration of this Black Flag Arrow team.
In the first battle of Guoqiao Town, this army also established miraculous achievements.
Pang Wanchun is brave and strategic, and it is indeed a pity to follow me, it is better to let him follow the boss, he can't say that he has a great future; Niu Gao Niu Boyuan is a native of Lushan, and he was originally the general of the Forbidden Army. This person is strong in martial arts and knows how to govern the army. These two people, both of whom are capable people, threw themselves into the account of the boss, and asked the boss to help them more. ”
"This ......"
Zong Ze originally said casually, how did he know that Yu Yin actually recommended a candidate.
Pang Zhen and Niu Gao?
Haven't heard of it! But Yu Yin's praise like this shows that these two people do have real talents and learning, which makes Zong Ze quite moved.
Going to Jinan Mansion is very dangerous and difficult.
That Liu Yu has soldiers and horses on the Gyeonggi East Road, and since he has decided to go south. Presumably he will also be wary of him. If there are few people around, it can be a real trouble. It's just that in this way, there is inevitably a suspicion of snatching love.
However, Zong Ze was decisive after all, and after a moment of hesitation, he had an idea.
"Since Xiao Yi recommended it, they must also be two heroes. The old man was disrespectful. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said softly: "The prince asked me to tell Xiao Yi that if I have leisure tonight." Please go to Pan Lou and his party. ”
This sentence reveals a lot of meaning.
Zong Ze is the person of the crown prince Zhao Chen, in other words. He and Yu Yin are already on the same front.
Zhao Chen was looking for Yu Yin at this time, something must have happened. Yu Yin sighed in his heart, then nodded and agreed.
After a while, Pang Wanchun and Niu Gao came.
Yu Yin told the two of them about the matter, Pang Wanchun was fine, after all, he got Yu Yin's rumor; But Niu Gao was reluctant and said that he was unwilling to leave Tokyo. Yu Yin knew that Niu Gao felt that he had received a lot of care from Yu Yin, but he didn't do anything. They will follow others and depart, and they will be ashamed. In my heart, I am afraid that some people also want to go to Jinan.
After all, Zong Ze is the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses on the Gyeonggi East Road, and his grade is much higher than that of Yuyin.
No matter how you look at it. Following Zong Ze is an excellent choice. But because of the situation, he refused.
Yu Yin persuaded Niu Gao again, so that Niu Gao agreed.
However, Niu Gao made a request, he could leave Yuyin, but hoped that his eldest son would stay with Yuyin. It's kind of doing his best. …,
Niu Gao's eldest son is named Niu Tong, and he is eighteen years old.
The long is very strong, the person is tall and the horse is big, which makes a good knife, and he has been following Huo Jian to do things in Kaifeng for the past two years, and he has also broken through the nickname of 'Golden Retriever Tai Sui'. Although it is not as strong as Niu Gao's martial arts, it is not inferior to Huo Jian, Wang Minqiu and others.
Yu Yin agreed, Niu Gao thanked him again, and Pang Wanchun withdrew from the big tent.
Zong Ze had already left the barracks, and before leaving, he told Yuyin that he would wait for Pang Wanchun and Niu Gao inside the Dailou Gate, by the Yinan Bridge. After thinking for a while, Yu Yin decided to send another 200 foot soldiers from his subordinates, together with Pang Wanchun's Black Flag Arrow Team, a total of 400 people, to go to Jinan Mansion with Zong Ze. In this way, Zong Ze has at least a thousand people in his hands.
As for the military status of Pang Wanchun and Niu Gao, it is easy to solve.
Later, Gao Yaoqing came over and asked him to go to the front of the palace to eliminate the military status of the two and transfer them to the military department.
Presumably Li Gang will not embarrass the two of them, after all, the land of Jingdong is also very important, and Zong Ze only has a thousand people in his hands, which is indeed a little less.
After settling the matter, the day will be evening.
Yu Yin inspected the military camp again, then said a word to Dong Xian, took the two of them into the city, and went straight to Pan Tower.
Zhao Chen's call can't help but go.
It's unclear what happened, but it must have something to do with him.
Zhao Chen can be said to be Yu Yin's only reliance in the court, so no matter what, it is impossible for him not to obey the call...... The lights first shined, and the city of Kaifeng was depressed.
But when he saw the officials of Kaifeng Mansion and the soldiers of the military shops patrolling the streets, they all looked nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Yuyin also met Shi San, but he didn't talk about it in detail.
Shi San was very busy, and was entrusted with the security of several streets such as Bianhe Street and Sangjia Wazi.
Seeing Yu Yin, he just nodded, said hello, and told Yu Yin by the way: Don't worry about accidents at home...... Shi San added two military shops in Guanyin Lane and Guanyin Courtyard, which greatly ensured that Yuyin's family would not be affected.
This is also the only help he can give to Yu Yin within his authority.
For Shi San, Yu Yin was very grateful in his heart.
So after hesitating for a moment, he whispered to Shi Sandao: "If the third brother has spare strength, he might as well add some manpower in Yulin Lane." ”
"Yulin Lane?"
Shi Sanyi was stunned, and immediately blurted out: "Xiao Yi is talking about Pan Lou? ”
"Hmm!"
"Okay, I'll go arrange for manpower."
Although he didn't know what Yu Yin meant by this, Shi San still decided to follow Yu Yin's instructions and send some people out. He personally led people to patrol Yulin Lane...... If you want to come to Yuyin's own brother, you won't hurt him.
Yu Yin nodded, and then broke up with Shisan.
He led the favored He Yuanqing to the outside of Pan Lou, but saw Pan Lou in front of the door. People can be full of birds, and they are extremely deserted.
It is no wonder that the Jurchens have reached the banks of the Guangji River, and they are not even a hundred miles away from Kaifeng Mansion. Even those high-ranking officials and nobles, wealthy businessmen and gentlemen, will not come to eat, drink and have fun at this time. The big war is about to break out, and there is a way. I have fled Tokyo with my family. Those who didn't leave Tokyo mostly stayed at home and trembled. Get icebergs down one's back.
Xu was instructed, and Yu Yin walked into Pan Lou without seeing anyone stopping him.
But. He could feel that Pan Lou was heavily guarded, and he could see heavily armed Guduozi from time to time.
"Huh, Sect Leader Zhou?"
After Yu Yin walked into Pan Lou, he saw that the person who was guarding at the door of the building turned out to be an acquaintance.
The head of the Imperial Boxing Gym, the flower knife Zhou Fengshan!
Get up, there is also a contradiction between Yuyin and Zhou Fengshan, he never expected that the head of the dignified Royal Boxing Gym. Actually came here to be a bodyguard?
Zhou Fengshan only smiled when he saw Yu Yin.
"The master's family is waiting for Xiao Yi in the Jixian Pavilion on the second floor." …,
"Thank you!"
Yu Yin and Zhou Fengshan arched their hands, but they felt extremely strange in their hearts.
It stands to reason that Zhao Chen came to him, and he should be protected by the inner class and Gu Duozi of Wulong Temple. How did you find Zhou Fengshan? If Zhou Fengshan joined the Five Dragons Temple, it can be said. But the problem is that Zhou Fengshan's attire and dress are not like the inner class of Wulong Temple, but more like a martial artist who cares for the house. Zhao Chen, which one is this singing?
Strange in my heart. But there was no delay under his feet.
It was not the first time that Yu Yin had come to Pan Lou, so he was familiar with the road, and went up to the second floor and came to the door of the private room of Jixian Pavilion.
knocked lightly on the door, and heard a voice from the house: "Is it Yu Xiaoyi?" ”。
Is it a woman?
Yu Yin was stunned again, and was about to speak, but saw the door open, revealing a familiar face.
"Eighteen sisters, how could it be you?"
"Xiao Yi came in and spoke."
Eighteenth sister Zhu Xuan sideways to get out of the way, and Yu Yin flashed into the room.
But in the room, there was a woman sitting upright, and it was Zhao Fujin, the concubine of Emperor Maode......
After Yu Yin entered the house, Zhu Xuan retreated, but Yu Yin was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
Didn't Zhao Chen look for me?
How did she become Emperor Maud!
"Yu Xiaoyi, you are so bold."
Zhao Fujin didn't give Yu Yin a chance to think, and took the case, "Do you know how much trouble you caused?" ”
Woe?
Yu Yin scratched his head, a little confused and asked, "But I don't know what the princess said, what does it mean?" ”
Zhao Fujin was flushed, and said viciously: "What did you do yourself, don't you even know?" ”。
"Please ask the princess for advice."
"Then let me ask you, you led the troops to Guoqiao Town without authorization, but the Privy Council sent you?"
"This ......"
"You don't want to say that the little brother ordered you to go, I asked the little brother...... He tried his best to cover it up for you, but I knew it had nothing to do with him. ”
Yu Yin, it's silent!
Zhao Fujin sat down and sighed, "However, this is not important, since the little brother has come forward, the Privy Council will not trouble you." Besides, Li Gang and Li Shangshu have also reissued an appointment order for you, so there will be no trouble in tracking down. ”
This shocking ......
Yu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, but heard Zhao Fujin say: "But you went to Guoqiao Town, why did you kill Wang Boyan's brother?" ”
"Huh?"
"Are you going to deny it?".
Zhao Fujin said angrily: "That Wang Zhen's family has been sued to Kaifeng Mansion.
If it weren't for the Taishi to suppress the situation, you would have entered the prison of Kaifeng Mansion at this time, and you would not see the light of day......"
Wang?
Yu Yin had a puzzled look on his face.
"Slowly, slowly, the princess said that I killed Wang Zhen, which one is it?"
"You're still pretending...... No matter what, Wang Zhen is also from the same Jinshi. Even if he loses Fengqiu County and flees without a fight, he will be punished by the law of the imperial court...... You are just a military envoy, how can you be so bold as to kill the ministers of the DPRK and China?
Do you know that when you do this, you are seen as complicit! ”
Fengqiu County Order?
Yu Yin only then remembered.
When he led his troops across the Guangji River to Guoqiao Town, there was indeed such a person who wanted to force his way through the pontoon bridge and was beheaded by him.
It's just that after a series of fierce battles with Jin Bing, I forgot about it.
Zhao Fujin suddenly mentioned this matter now, which also made Yu Yin startled, and he suddenly panicked in his heart.
"This matter, Kaifeng Mansion can only be temporarily detained.
You are still smart, and you use the Great Song Times Weekly to build momentum for your good life, even if the official family is at this time, they will not trouble you. However, you have sinned against Wang Boyan, and you need to be more careful. Wang Boyan and Jiulang have a close relationship, and they are very valued by the official family, and the official worship of the Zhilong Tuge Bachelor is definitely not something you can deal with. The prince also looked at the prince's affection, so he didn't trouble you. But you have to be prepared, once the Jin soldiers retreat, Wang Boyan and those people will never give up. ”…,
Yu Yin, it's silent!
He really didn't know how to speak, but at the same time he knew that he was indeed in trouble.
"That ......"
The saint also heard about it.
She wants me to tell you that if you have the chance, you should leave Tokyo...... When the war is over, the saint will try to find a place for you, and you must be prepared wherever you want to go. It's not convenient for the little brother to come out to see you for the time being, so ......
If it really comes to that time, Xiao Yi will bear with it, and when the matter passes, the saint will try to deal with it for you. ”
The saint is the current queen Zhu Lian.
And the Taishi mentioned by Zhao Fujin is Zhu Guina, the father of Zhu Lian.
Originally, Zhu Guina was an envoy of the festival, but after Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he was recalled to Tokyo and temporarily removed from the post of Yin of Kaifeng.
Yu Yin listened and nodded silently.
It's just that in this heart, there is inexplicable sadness.
I have made a great contribution by killing so many Jurchens...... But there is no reward, not to mention, because of a Wang Zhen who abandoned the city and fled, he faced the risk of being questioned. What about this big win? Isn't it a mess in the end?
The more Yu Yin thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved.
For the first time in his heart, he felt that all the efforts he had made were afraid that they would eventually come to naught.
If civil officials are not afraid of death, and military generals are not greedy for money, then the world is peaceful...... But the problem is that it's easier said than done.
Zhao Fujin got up and walked to Yu Yin's side.
His mouth opened and he wanted to say something comforting, but when it came to his mouth, he didn't know how to persuade him......
I have always felt that the ancestral precepts set by Taizu are extremely correct, emphasizing literature over martial arts, and the descendants of the Zhao family are not allowed to kill scholars. But in the end, it chilled the hearts of heroes all over the world.
"Xiao Yi, don't worry, I will definitely try to deal with you."
Well?
Hearing this, Yu Yin couldn't help but raise his head.
Zhao Fujin's face was flushed, and he felt that what he said was a bit Meng Lang.
Who is he? Why bother for him?
But when he said it, he couldn't take it back, so he had to snort and said softly: "Xiao Yi, take care of yourself." ”
finished, Zhao Fujin opened the door and left without looking back.
Zhu Xuan also left with Zhao Fujin, and he didn't even have time to say a word to Yuyin.
Standing in the empty Jixian Pavilion room, Yu Yin was stunned for a long time, then sighed softly, feeling an inexplicable loss in his heart...... rq……,
