Chapter 273: Guoqiao Town (1) 2/2
On the fifth day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, it was raining lightly outside the big tent.
In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Mutuogang military village, the lights are bright.
Yu Yin closed his eyes, as if he was pretending to sleep. Zhu Mengshuo and Chen Dong paced back and forth, meeting face-to-face from time to time, and let out a sigh.
Dong Xian, Niu Gao, Pang Wanchun, and the three of them sat on the big chair like old monks.
At the door of the big tent, He Yuanqing and Gao Zhong stood on their sides, the two of them held their arms and had a calm face, but they didn't say a word.
The big tent of the Chinese army is very quiet, and the silence makes people feel suffocated.
Time passed quietly in this silence. Just when Dong Xian was impatient and wanted to ask, he suddenly heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves outside the big tent. After a while, I saw Gao Yaoqing striding into the Chinese army's big tent.
"Damn it!"
As soon as Gao Yaoqing came in, he didn't even have time to untie the poncho on his body, so he scolded.
Yu Yin opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Gao Yaoqing and didn't speak.
"San Lang, the letter has been delivered?"
Gao Yaoqing said with a blushing face: "The Privy Council replied, the commander only needs to do things with peace of mind, how can he speculate about his colleagues in the DPRK and China?" ”
Yu Yin couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he heard this.
After all, Cao Rong was born in martial arts, and he was also born in the government-run martial arts school. Although the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, the martial arts was an official academy of the imperial court. may not be as knowledgeable as he is in status, but he is also a hundred times stronger than Yu Yin, who became a military attache by relying on Yin Bu. The admission requirements for martial arts are stricter than those for Taixue. If there is no way, it is impossible to enter.
In other words. Cao Rong's background is not something that Yu Yin can slander.
The reply from the Privy Council sounded very elegant, but it was actually a warning to Yu Yin: Don't talk nonsense, you are not qualified!
"What did Li Shangshu say?"
Gao Yaoqing showed hesitation, but did not answer immediately.
Yu Yin smiled: "Yanai said that it doesn't matter, it just depends on whether I guess accurately." ”
"Li Shangshu, Li Shangshu didn't say anything, just read the letter and put it aside. Didn't say anything. ”
Yu Yin, smiled!
He stood up and looked at the crowd, "All right." The answer is already there.
I don't know if Cao Rong will rebel, but I do know that once Huazhou surrenders. Then we will have no danger to defend.
Two roads, immediately go to Guoqiao Town to prepare.
Regardless of whether Huazhou surrenders or not, let's just in case; Another way, just wait here, if Huazhou does not surrender, it is fine, if it surrenders, we will only have to flee. Anyway, in this Kaifeng city, soldiers will never be sent to support us. ”
In the big tent, there was silence.
Regarding the question of whether Cao Rong, the commander of Huazhou, would surrender, Yuyin and others were also considered. Whether it's Zhu Meng's saying or not. Chen Dong also thought that he should not send troops without authorization, and he should consult the Ministry of War and the Privy Council before making a decision.
But Yu Yin Dong Xian, Niu Gao and Pang Wanchun disagreed.
They think. Once Huazhou surrenders, it will be too late to prepare.
There are still 100,000 stone of grain in this Mu Camel Gang that have not yet been transferred, and if the Jin army kills them, they can only burn the baggage with a fire.
100,000 stone grain and grass is not a small amount.
Yanfeng Cang is only 300,000 stone grain, and Mu Huogang's baggage. It occupies almost one-third of the grain stored in Yanfeng warehouse. Therefore, we must act as soon as possible, at least we should go to Guoqiao Town to check the situation and prepare.
However, since the Song Dynasty, the transfer of soldiers and horses must be approved by the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and acting without authorization is like a rebellion.
Yu Yin also knew that Zhu Mengshu and Chen Dong were thinking about him.
But now......
"Da Lang, Shaoyang, and San Lang, I also know that you mean well, but I don't want to be so restrained.
I have decided to rush to Guoqiao Town overnight. If the thieves do come, I can also stop them in Guoqiao Town to buy you some time. On the side of Mu Huogang, I will leave it to the three of you to be responsible. I will let Uncle Ling and Ji Qinghe stay behind to assist, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp and the soldiers and horses of the infantry division will all be handed over to your commander to deal with this side. ..., if you will help me, hide it from me for a day.
If the thief really comes, please inform the Privy Council as soon as possible, and beg the Privy Council to send troops to rescue you...... I don't know how many days I can hold on to Guoqiao Town. But if you want to hold on for one more day, this Kaifeng City will be a little safer. ”
"Xiao Yi, why are you doing this?"
Zhu Mengshu and Chen Dong wanted to dissuade him, but he didn't know how to speak.
Don't you let Yuyin go?
In that case, once the thieves really attacked, the grain of Mu Huogang and the horses of the Heavenly Prison would be really dangerous.
But if Yu Yin is agreed, when the Privy Council investigates it, Yu Yin is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.
"Well, Hugh has to say more.
So let's decide...... Pang Wanchun! ”
"The end will be."
"I take you as the vanguard, and lead the Black Flag Arrow Team to set off immediately and go to Guoqiao Town.
I led my own army to follow, and by tomorrow evening, we will meet at Guoqiao Town...... Let's all go down and get ready. ”
Yu Yin said, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat.
Gao Zhong and He Yuanqing also left together, counting the soldiers and horses and preparing to go to battle.
"Xiao Yi, it's too risky for you to do this!"
Zhu Mengshu couldn't help but say, "Cao Rong's surrender is just our guess...... If you're really worried, send out a scout to investigate. If Cao Rong really surrendered, it would not be too late for us to go to Guoqiao Town, so why take such a big risk? ”
Yu Yin heard this, but smiled bitterly.
"Da Lang, if that's the case, can you be in time?"
"This ......"
Zhu Meng was speechless, because he also knew that it was too late to come and go this time.
Once the Jin army occupies Guoqiao Town, it will be a flat river, and it will be able to reach Mutuogang in less than a day. The north of this Mou Camel Gang is full of plains, and there is no danger to defend at all. Once the Jin army kills it, it can't be stopped at all with just these soldiers and horses.
Of course, Yu Yin can lead people away.
But what should be done with the war horses of the Heavenly Prison and the grain of the Mu Camel Gang?
Whether it was burned with a fire or thrown to the Jurchens. For Kaifeng Mansion, it will be a huge loss......
Yu Yin smiled: "In today's situation, there is only one fight.
I have won, even if I have no merit, I can offset the merit; If I lose, I will ask Shaoyang to tell my wife and ask her to leave Tokyo with her daughter. It's okay to go to Huanzhou to join Brother Luda. Go to Hangzhou to find a quiet place, incognito, or don't stay in Tokyo...... And also. It's also important that you stay here. First, we must transfer the grain, grass and horses as soon as possible, and second, whether I can come back depends on whether you can lead the reinforcements in time. ”
"Little B......"
Chen Dong only felt a little stuffy in his chest. It seems to be very blocked.
Where is Yu Yin going to fight, it is clearly going to die. If you win, it is also a success, if you lose, I am afraid that there will be no day of recovery. Even if there is the crown prince Zhao Chen to take care of him, but those officials in the court, who will let Yu Yin go?
But the problem is that he is fighting for the Great Song Dynasty and the old Zhao Guan's family......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Black Flag Arrows set off at the end of the day.
Yu Yin ordered two soldiers and horses. and a miscellaneous soldier, who quietly left the Mutuogang military village at the end of the day.
Looking back, the sky has revealed the white light of the fish's belly. The majestic Kaifeng City, in that glimmer of light, reveals a sense of twilight.
I don't know. This time I went to Guoqiao Town, can I come back?
Yu Yin took a deep breath and tried to calm down some of his fluctuating emotions.
It's so in a hurry that I haven't even seen Sister Jiu'er and Yuru for the last time, it's a pity to think about it!
"Let's go!"
Yu Yin waved his hand on the horse, and the Wei army stepped on the early spring morning mist. Walk slowly.
Dong Xian and Niu Gao each led a group of men and horses for the left and right armies, while Yu Yin led a hundred horse troops and a group of miscellaneous soldiers, with simple equipment in the center. ..., speaking of which, Yu Yin was not too afraid, and even a little inexplicably excited in his heart.
Is there finally going to war?
The first shot of the siege of Kaifeng is probably going to be fired in his hands...... I don't know, will the history books of later generations record this story, and how will future generations evaluate him Yuyin? Thinking of this, Yu Yin couldn't help but sigh lightly.
The procession had been marching for about half an hour when the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind them.
"Brother, it seems that someone is coming this way."
Yu Yin frowned, waved his hand to signal the soldiers and horses to continue marching, he led He Yuanqing and Gao Chong, and led the horse army to wait in formation.
"My brother looks down on people, why did he go to make a meritorious deed, but he didn't take me there?"
In the morning mist, four horses rushed out.
The knight on the first horse shouted loudly from afar, and before the words fell, the war horse had already arrived in front of Yuyin.
"Saburo?"
Yu Yin saw the person who came clearly, and was stunned for a moment.
The four people who came, but they were Ji Qingfeng, and there were six brothers from Zong'an, seven brothers from Zong'an.
Because the six brothers of Zong'an and the seven brothers of Zong'an were newcomers, they couldn't intervene for a while, so they helped Yuyin escort and transfer grain, grass and horses. Who knew that after they returned to Mu Camel Gang, they heard that Yu Yin had left Mu Camel Gang with people.
sealed the situation, it can be counted as Yu Yin's junior brother; Ji Qing followed Yuyin from Hangzhou.
Ke Zong'an's six Zong'an and seven brothers, followed Yuyin for only two days. Yu Yin led his troops to leave Mu Huogang privately, but he violated the law, so Yu Yin did not inform the two of them. Who would have thought that these two brothers would actually chase after Feng Shi together, which was really a bit unexpected for Yu Yin.
"San Lang, Ji Qing, you must understand that I led my troops to Guoqiao Town this time, but there was no military order from the Privy Council, and it was an unauthorized promotion. This time I went to Guoqiao Town, even if I was able to fight with the thieves, I am afraid that it will not be counted as a war merit by the imperial court. ”
Ji Qing grinned, "What a battle feat, just kill a happy one, what's worth it?" ”
"Yes, brother, you are not afraid, how can I be left behind?
Even Thirteen Lang and He Yuanqing can go with you, although my skills are not as good as them, I can lead the horse and embellished the stirrups for my brother. ”
Ji Qing and Feng Guo said it to this point, and Yu Yin didn't know how to persuade him.
As soon as his eyes turned, he fell on Zong An Liu, Zong An Qi on the side.
Who knew that before he could speak, Zong Anliu preemptively said: "Ah Weng asked the two of us to follow the command, no matter where the commander goes, my brother should also accompany him." If Ah Weng knew that the two of us did not go to Guoqiao Town, I would have gone back alive and would have no face to meet him. Commanding Hugh to drive my brother back, otherwise my brother will go to Guoqiao Town on his own. ”
Yu Yin looked at the four people in front of him, and suddenly smiled for a long time.
"Shaoyang said that I am stupid, in my opinion, the four of you are more stupid than me.
I know that I am going to die, but I want to go with me...... If I don't take you with me, I'm afraid you won't give up.
Ji Qing, you immediately go to the Niu Gao Department to report; San Lang went to Dong Xianbu to report. Zong'an is six, Zong'an is seven, and you two will follow me...... Whether it is a blessing or a curse, you and my brother cannot sit idly by and kill once, so that the thieves will know what our brothers are doing. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
