Chapter 280: The Siege of Kaifeng (3)
To tell the truth, Yu Yin really didn't understand those scholars and doctors in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
Not sensible?
But the scholars in the court are either too learned to ascend to the top, or they are from Jinshi, and they read the books of sages one by one, and they understand the way of sages than Yuyin. But why did the traitors of the Manchu Dynasty at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty appear? Yu Yin couldn't think clearly.
Could it be that the way of the sages is to surrender on their knees and sell their country for glory?
If the way of a sage is like this, then what kind of 'sage' is it?
The external enemy is eyeing each other, but the internal war is endless. Yu Yin felt that Zhao Kuangyin was too good to readers, and he was almost indulgent.
But that's the case, those who read don't understand, if the old Song is gone, they are nothing, aren't they?
The Song Dynasty is like this, the Ming Dynasty is like this, and then to the Qing Dynasty, he is the slave of the whole country......
Where did this trend come from?
Yu Yin didn't know very well, but he understood that if he continued like this, Lao Song Jiangshan was afraid that he would perish sooner or later. But what could he do?
Walking out of Pan Lou in an extremely depressed mood, Zhou Fengshan and the others were gone.
Gao Zhong and He Yuanqing were still waiting outside, and after seeing Yu Yin, the two hurriedly stepped forward.
"Brother, is something wrong?"
Yu Yinqiang laughed, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just ...... By the way, Zhou Fengshan entered the Five Dragons Temple? ”
He couldn't tell me what Emperor Maud had come to remind him of.
Even if Gao Chong and He Yuanqing are their own brothers, some things still have to be kept secret.
Gao Zhong said: "Lao Zhou didn't enter the Wulong Temple, and when he talked to him just now, he only said that he was recruited by a nobleman.
The situation in the Royal Boxing Gym is not very good, Lao Zhou is a good-looking person, and he can't do the work of Li Bao's people, so he can only take care of the family. However, he said that although he was taking care of the family, he also wanted to have a good future. ”
Fighting for a good future?
That is possible...... Don't look at Cai Jing running away, but Cai Jing is a colt after all.
Zhou Fengshan voted for Emperor Maode. It's not like I've wronged myself.
Yu Yin nodded, and didn't ask again. Everyone has their own way of living, and Zhou Fengshan's choice is understandable.
Besides, what qualifications does he have to laugh at Zhou Fengshan?
Now that he is in a lot of trouble himself, it is better to take care of himself first and then make other plans......
"Brother, do you want to go home to visit your sister-in-law?"
Yu Yin was stunned for a moment and glanced at Gao Pet. But he suddenly smiled: "Thirteen Lang will go home to rest tonight, and go back to the barracks early tomorrow morning."
I went back to see Sister Jiu'er and Yuru, but Pang Wanchun and Niu Gao left, and Dong Juemin was the only one left in the camp, so I was afraid that I couldn't take care of it. When you go back, talk to Sister Jiu'er by the way, and say that in the past two days, don't go out. ”
Gao Chong was stunned, and immediately understood what Yu Yin meant.
I'm afraid that in the next two days, there will be war in Kaifeng!
He had something in his mind. So he was not polite, so he said goodbye to Yuyin and went straight to Guanyin Lane.
"Brother. What is this? ”
He Yuanqing couldn't help but ask on the side, but saw Yu Yin smile and said: "Spring is coming, and Thirteen Lang is afraid that he is also a little emotional." ”
"Oh?"
"Let's go, we can't talk too much about this kind of thing, I think Thirteen Lang can solve it."
Yu Yin knew that Gao Chong seemed to have some thoughts about that Ma Gao's widow, Brother Yan, the Qingwang of Yizhang. This guy is dull by nature, and he holds everything in his heart. It can be seen from the fact that he often asks about Wang Yange's situation, and he is really tempted this time!
The Great War is coming. Life and death are uncertain.
Gao Zhong wants to go to see Wang Yange, which is reasonable.
It's just that it's hard for him to say it, and Yu Yin won't debunk it......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Back at the barracks, it was getting late.
Yu Yin found out. Yang Zaixing was waiting for him in the big tent. …,
"My sister-in-law guessed that my brother couldn't go home today, so I made soup and asked me to send it to my brother to make up for his body."
Yang Zaixing smiled and saluted Yu Yin, and gestured. It's no longer the frivolity I had when I first met Yuyin two years ago.
Yu Yin said: "Is Da Lang good in the forbidden army?" ”
"Hehe, it's okay, but you can't kill the thief, and you can't compare to my brother's scenery."
Yang Zaixing's words were relaxed, but Yu Yin could hear that he was a little depressed. It's understandable to think about it, Yang Zaixing is a belligerent person, and he doesn't want to join the army, so he has nowhere to show it. On the contrary, it was Gao Pet, who first suppressed bandits in the southeast, and then followed Yuyin to Guoqiao Town to fight with the Jurchens, and he was really happy. If it weren't for military discipline, Yang Zaixing might have gone to Guoqiao Town with Yuyin and killed those Jurchens happily.
"By the way, I heard that you were promoted?"
Yang Zaixing smiled, "Speaking of which, my brother laughed, it was indeed my boss who did Du Yuhou, so he brought his own family to be the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses."
It's just that he is the deputy envoy of this Raushzi, but he is not as comfortable as before.
I can only patrol the inner city all day, which makes me very depressed...... If my brother has a way, why don't you transfer me to the account? It's better to be a general than to do nothing in the inner city. If it weren't for General Huyan's treatment of me very kindly, I would have stopped doing it a long time ago. ”
General Huyan?
Yu Yin was surprised: "Could it be that your boss is the double whip?" ”
"Brother also knows General Huyan?"
Yang Zaixing said: "Speaking of General Huyan, he has good skills...... If he is 20 years younger, I will fight him immediately, and I may not be his opponent. That's it, it takes dozens of rounds to see the superiority, and the end is old and strong. ”
Yu Yin didn't expect that Yang Zaixing would become Hu Yanzhuo's subordinate.
With a move in his heart, he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "I heard that General Huyan has 3,000 chain horses under his command, but is it serious?" ”
"Hey, does my brother know about the chain of horses?"
Yang Zaixing nodded and said: "It's just that the chain horse is quite complicated to practice, and I have followed General Huyan for nearly a year, and I have only learned a little bit of it." General Huyan said that it was a pity that he couldn't find good iron armor in the armor store, so he couldn't compare it with the iron harrier in Western Xia. If there is a Western Xia iron armor, it can't be said that it can make the chain horse more powerful......"
I have always felt that a chain horse is to chain several horses together and charge side by side.
But after listening to Yang Zaixing's words, Yuyin knew that this so-called chain horse. It's not as simple as he thinks.
"In that case, Da Lang might as well ask the old general for advice.
As for the Xixia Iron Armor, I will think of some ways to get it sooner or later...... By the way, there's one more thing. I have kept in touch with Huo Jian for the past few days, and I was worried that there would be an accident, so I left a token with Huo Jian, saying that he would ask General Yan for help. ”
"Brother recognizes General Huyan?"
"I've only heard of his name. But I have never seen it. ”
Yuyin didn't reveal much more information, but just told Yang Zaixing to keep in touch with Huo Jian.
Yang Zaixing agreed, chatted with Yu Yin for a while, and when he saw that the sky was about to die, he said goodbye to Yu Yin and returned to the city.
This night, Yu Yin tossed and turned, and did not fall asleep until it was almost dawn.
I don't know how long I slept, and there was a lot of noise. Wake up Yu Yin.
I got up and got out of bed, and was about to go out to check, but I saw the curtain lifted. Chen Dong Zhu Mengshu and Gao Yaoqing walked into the big tent.
These three people stayed in Mutuogang, and after the baggage was transferred, they went to Yanfengcang, and they didn't rush back until now.
As soon as they saw Yu Yin, the three of them were also very excited.
Chen Dong stepped forward and slapped Yu Yin's arm repeatedly, "Xiao Yi has done a great job, and Guoqiao Town has won two battles, which is indeed very happy." ”
Gao Yaoqing was also on the side. Hello again and again.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and Gao Yaoqing has changed a lot. …,
was originally a white and chubby round face, but now it has lost a lot of weight, showing a little edges and corners.
It can be seen that he has been really hard in the last few days. The spirit seems to be different from before, revealing a little calm.
Yu Yin was not polite, and exchanged pleasantries with the three of them for a while, and Ji Qing sent washing utensils.
After washing, Yu Yin said, "Yesterday, the sect elder came. said that he would go to Jinan Mansion. I asked Lao Pang and Boyuan to go with him, and only Juemin was left in the army to take care of it, which was indeed a bit hard. When you come back, you can help with the burden. Juemin is good at managing soldiers, and this logistical affairs such as heavy grain and grass are indeed not done properly. ”
Chen Dong and Zhu Meng said that when they heard that Yuyin had given Pang Wanchun and Niu Gao to Zong Ze, they were both surprised.
Immediately, there were smiles on both of their faces, and Zhu Meng said: "Xiao Yi's move is really a loyal person who is dedicated to the country."
This time, Boss Zong Ze also got what he wanted.
I heard the news that he was going to Jinan Mansion in Yanfengcang, and I was still worried about him, and there was no one available around me. ”
Yu Yin smiled and picked up the roster from the bookcase.
"I have to bother Saburo to go back to the Taiwei Mansion once, and ask the palace marshal to send the two of them to the military department for registration, otherwise it will be another trouble."
Gao Yaoqing didn't shirk either, took the roster, glanced at it, and then nodded in agreement.
Zhu Mengshu groaned for a while, and said softly: "Xiaoyi, I heard that you killed Fengqiu Ling on the north bank of the Guangji River?" ”
"Brother heard about it too?"
"Xiao Yi, you have done this recklessly!"
Zhu Meng frowned, "Although Wang Zhen's crime deserves death, he was born in the same Jinshi." He abandoned the city and fled, and the laws of his own country questioned him for his crimes, and you should never do it. In this case, I'm afraid you're going to be in trouble......"
Yu Yin's cheeks twitched, and he forced a smile: "Brother also heard about it?" ”
"I've heard that the news has spread...... I heard that Wang Boyan was going to find Li Bangyan and others to impeach you in the court and ask you about your crimes. But Li Shangshu resolutely disagreed, and also said a lot of good things for you. Wang Boyan later agreed not to impeach, but it was only because the thieves were in the city, and he did not dare to do it too blatantly.
But as soon as the thief retreats, he will definitely trouble you. ”
"Brother, don't worry about me, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and I can't hide from what should come, I have done everything, why regret it?"
"You guy, you are indeed a thinker."
Zhu Meng said that when he saw Yu Yin say this, he stopped talking about it.
However, from the look of worry between his eyebrows and the look of worry when he looked at Chen Dong and Gao Yaoqing, Yu Yin knew that he had caused a lot of trouble this time. After all, killing the scholars violated the bottom line of the scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty.
But what's the use of worrying?
Gao Yaoqing went to deal with the rosters of Pang Wanchun and Niu Gao, and Yuyin recruited Dong Xianfeng and Wang Minqiu together.
Pang Wanchun and Niu Gao left, leaving two vacancies.
Now, after 400 people left under Yu Yin, there were less than 800 people...... Originally, Chen Dong and his soldiers and horses were replenished, but who would have thought that after asking, they would find out that the six hundred soldiers who were originally subordinate to Ling Zhen's imperial camp were left in Yanfeng Cang.
Even the three hundred people brought by the closure. also drew a hundred.
In other words, there are only a thousand people under Yu Yin's subordinates.
"Yanfeng Cang is not guarded by soldiers and horses, why do you want to transfer Yuyin soldiers and horses?"
Chen Dong smiled bitterly: "It is said that Zheng Wangzhi, the new military planner, sent him to leave the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp in Yanfeng Cangjia.
Xiao Yi, Zheng Wangzhi and Wang Boyan have a deep friendship. ”
Yu Yin immediately understood that this was Wang Boyan's revenge......
Although that guy won't trouble Yuyin on the bright side. But it's easy to make a little stumbling block. …,
Wang Boyan is a scholar of the Zhilong Pavilion, and having this identity is enough for Zheng Wangzhi to obey the dispatch...... Guangjihe's knife was very enjoyable when it was cut down, but the consequences of this cut made Yu Yin choke and was very uncomfortable.
"In that case, forget it!"
Yu Yin smiled bitterly and skipped over the matter.
Let's be honest. Ling Zhen's six hundred imperial battalion soldiers, even if they came over, were only a full number, and they were not useful at all.
Maybe it's okay to escort a grain and grass. If you really meet the Jurchens, I'm afraid that it will collapse at the first touch, so it's better not to.
It's just that in this way, there are really fewer soldiers and horses in hand......
Excluding Gao Zhong and He Yuanqing's hundred cavalry followers, Wang Minqiu's 200 archers remained, leaving only 700 foot soldiers.
Seven hundred foot soldiers...... Yu Yin thought about it and made a decision.
let Dong Xian temporarily serve as the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses, and control the 700 infantry army; Then he ordered Feng Guo and Ji Qing to be ten generals, each leading 300 people.
Zhu Meng said that Chen Dong led a hundred people. Act as a servant.
"Xiao Yi, in this way, I am afraid that the troops will be empty, and it will not be useful."
Yu Yin smiled slightly, "What's not to use?"
With a thousand men, I can defeat three thousand thieves...... It's the Black Flag Arrows. It can kill the thief and the same way. ”
Seeing that Yu Yin was full of confidence when he spoke, Zhu Meng said that he would no longer persuade him.
After the arrangements were made, Dong Xian and the others were ready to leave, but just as everyone was about to leave, they overheard a commotion outside the big tent. Immediately afterward, a small colonel rushed into the big tent and said with a panicked expression: "Commander Qiqi, I just got the news that the thieves have begun to cross the river at dawn!" ”
"Huh?"
When Yu Yin and the others heard this, they all stood up.
"The thief crossed the river? Really? ”
Zhu Mengshu asked: "Have you found out, who is the pioneer officer?" ”
"It's the dog thief Guo Yaoshi......"
Yu Yin gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then smiled bitterly and said to everyone: "This bird of Pharmacist Guo really can't wait to perform in front of his new master. It's only been a day, and this guy has come...... Everyone hastened their preparations. ”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the ninth day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Guo Yaoshi led 20,000 vanguard troops to cross the Guangji River and went straight to Kaifeng.
Compared with the siege of Kaifeng in history, Pharmacist Guo led his troops to cross the river this time, one day late. What happens in this day? No one knows...... However, after Guo Yaoshi crossed the river, he immediately occupied the Mou Camel Gang, and relied on the Mu Camel Gang to set up a large camp along the mouth of the Sancha River. Perhaps, Yuyin is not clear that after the historical Jin soldiers arrived in Kaifeng, they also occupied Mutuogang first. However, this time, they not only got 120,000 stone grain and grass from Mu Huogang, but also robbed tens of thousands of war horses from Tiansi Prison, so that the Jin army was able to stabilize its position.
But now, although Pharmacist Guo still occupies Mutuogang, he has not received a grain of grain......
The golden soldiers have come to the city.
The atmosphere in Kaifeng Mansion was suddenly tense several times.
The smell of gunpowder in the air was suffocating.
Li Gang appeared on the stage and looked at the golden barracks in Mutuogang, revealing a look of anxiety.
Reinforcements, when will they arrive?
Originally, I thought that after Jin Bing arrived in Kaifeng, he would take a rest first.
Who knows, after Guo Yaoshi searched all over the city of Kaifeng Mansion and found nothing, he knew that something was wrong.
Jin Bing went all the way south, although it was overwhelming, but there were also some troubles. First, the front of the Jin soldiers was stretched so long that the grain and grass were completely dependent on looting. Zhongshan and Zhending are still resisting, so that the grain road is not very smooth.
In addition, Wanyan Zonghan of the Western Route Army was blocked by Taiyuan and failed to occupy Tongguan in time to block the reinforcements from the northwest.
This also put the Eastern Route Army in an extremely dangerous state, if it could not conquer Kaifeng as soon as possible, it would inevitably fall into a heavy encirclement. …,
Originally, I thought that I could get supplies around Kaifeng.
But who would have thought that Song Jun would do it so thoroughly this time?
Pharmacist Guo is well aware that time is pressing...... So on the first night of arriving in Kaifeng, dozens of cargo ships were found from the upper reaches of the Bianhe River. Guo Yaoshi ordered all the cargo ships to be set on fire, and they went down the Bianhe River to attack the West Water Gate of Kaifeng Mansion.
At night, the fireship stands out.
When Li Gang got the news, he immediately went into battle in person, dispatched 2,000 death squads to lay under the city, held long hook hook boats, and threw stones to bombard the fire boats to prevent the fire ships from approaching the West Water Gate. At the same time, Li Gang ordered that those precious rockeries and strange stones should be removed from the nearby garden of Cai Jing's house and transported to the West Water Gate to block the waterway and prevent enemy ships from entering the city.
Fortunately, Li Gang was well prepared, so that Xishuimen could be safe.
When Guo Yaoshi saw the defeat of the fireboat, he was so angry that he immediately dispatched 1,000 regular soldiers and 2,000 Alixi to storm the West Water Gate.
The two sides fought fiercely until the second half of the night, and Guo Yaoshi saw that the West Water Gate was heavily defended, so he had to order the withdrawal of troops.
In this battle, the Song army suffered 300 casualties, while the Jin soldiers suffered more than 100 casualties...... If you look at the number of casualties alone, it is undoubtedly the defeat of the Song army.
However, from a strategic point of view, it was indeed a defeat for the golden soldiers!
When the Jin soldiers retreated, there were earth-shattering cheers from Kaifeng Mansion, as if to celebrate the victory of the Kaifeng defense banner.
Because Yu Yin was stationed in Fanjiagang, he could not go to watch the battle.
He listened to the cheers from afar, but he didn't feel the slightest joy.
This was only the first attack of the Jurchens, and it may even be a tentative attack...... Wanyan Zongwang has not yet arrived, and the real means of the Jurchens have not yet been used, and they don't know what they will look like after dawn......
When the battle report reached Fanjiagang, Yuyin was worried.
At the same time, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he always felt that Jin Bing's siege of the city this time might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface!
