Chapter 300: Born in Sorrow, Died in Peace!
Coincidentally!
Originally, according to Gao Qingyi's instructions, Liu Si should have arrived at Chenqiao as early as last night.
There was a little problem, so that Liu Si's trip was delayed, and he set off yesterday afternoon to come to Chenqiao.
It was also this half-day time that allowed Yu Yin to successfully capture Chen Qiao.
Otherwise, with the combat effectiveness of Liu Si's female real soldiers, Yu Yin would have to take some effort to win.
Hearing that Chenqiao was occupied by the Song army, Liu Si was also taken aback, and hurriedly led his troops straight to the Guangji River crossing. At the same time, he sent his troops to Mutuogang to inform Yan Zongwang. At this time, even if Liu Si was a fool, he knew that Song Jun's so-called peace negotiation was just a trick to hide from the world. The real purpose is to keep them in Kaifeng.
Arrived at the bank of the Guangji River, it was noon.
Looking across the river, I saw the Song army on the north bank of the Guangji River standing with banners and axes.
At first glance, it really startled Liu Si. He couldn't see the specific number of Song Jun, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened.
Liu Si is an extremely cautious person, he only has a fierce army in his hands, and his troops are seriously insufficient.
According to the configuration of the Jurchen troops, only the number of regular soldiers was recorded. And the female real soldier is a man with two horses, heavy armor and a spear. At the same time, there is also an attendant Alixi, but it is not counted in the roster. In other words, the Jurchens' so-called one Meng'an is almost 1,600 people. Ali Xi is similar to a regular soldier's house slave, only under the name of the regular soldier.
The pontoon bridge over the Guangji River has been completely burned down.
The wreckage of a pontoon bridge also floats on the river's edge, flickering as the river rushes.
Liu Si didn't understand the strength of the Song army, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He immediately ordered 800 Ali Xi to cut down trees on the spot, and at the same time ordered the female soldiers to search for boats along the east and west sides of the Guangji River to prepare for crossing the river.
Yuyin was standing on the mound on the north bank of the Guangji River, and Liang Yucheng was leading people to build artillery tools......
"Little brother. Do you have any regrets? ”
Yu Yin suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhao Chen.
With Yuyin returning to Chen Qiao, Zhao Chen was a little silent.
He didn't speak, just followed Yu Yin's side, looking like he had a small tail, but he didn't say a word, and he didn't have the liveliness of the past.
Hearing Yu Yin ask him, Zhao Chen raised his head.
He glanced at Yu Yin. After a while, he shook his head. said softly: "With Xiao Yi here, you won't be afraid." ”
Yu Yin heard this, but smiled.
The Loulan treasure knife pointed to the other side of the river. He sighed and said, "Actually, those thieves are also raised by their mothers, and they are not much different from ordinary people. The reason why it is so brave. It is because they were born in the white mountains and black waters, the conditions are harsh, and they have to work hard. If you don't work hard, you will only die...... To put it mildly, it's just a bunch of barbarians.
But it was these barbarians who wiped out the Great Liao, which was a hundred times their size.
I suddenly remembered a saying: Born in sorrow, die in peace...... The Liao people are too happy to die in the country; The Jurchens, on the other hand, had a strong sense of distress. That's why they won't be defeated. Little brother, did you think of anything? ”
Zhao Chen raised his head, and his big black eyes flashed and flashed.
"Xiao Yi, are you saying that I have been too happy in the Song Dynasty?"
"I don't know."
Yu Yin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "But I know that when these thieves are galloping across the north. We Song people, but the wind and snow, reciting poetry...... I have been to Mobei and experienced the harsh environment there.
All the tribes of Mobei are working hard for survival. It is the Liao people who died in the country who are also working hard.
But when I came back and opened it. But I saw singing and dancing everywhere. The civil officials were busy intriguing, and the military generals were greedy for life and afraid of death, even in the alleys, all of them were immersed in pleasure. At that time, I felt that Da Song was hopeless!
I thought about leaving Tokyo and never coming back.
But when I left Tokyo, I realized that my homeland is hard to leave, and after all, I have too many concerns here......"
Zhao Chen seemed to know whether he knew how to nod his head, and his gaze at the Jurchens on the other side gradually became firm.
Yu Yin couldn't tell what the reason was, but he had a lot of words in his heart, and if he couldn't say it, he would be extremely depressed.
These words may have been stored for more than two years.
In the past, he was just ignorant, but now, he has understood, clear!
Liability!
In his previous life, he didn't know what responsibility was.
At that time, he was highly skilled but cynical. If you can't get used to this, you can't get used to that, so you learn the ability of a body, what's the use? On the contrary, it was a few disciples of my father before his death, although they went to the front, but at least they passed on the concept of Chinese music. He was the only one, who was poor and destitute all his life, holding the young man of Nalaoshzi, and finally achieved nothing.
He is not willing to change, let alone accept change.
So that in the end, it was abandoned by the times......
He didn't understand this until recently.
He wanted to say it to Zhao Chen, even if Zhao Chen didn't understand, he still had to say it.
"Little brother, I didn't learn much, and I didn't get famous.
There's not much I can teach you other than a little piano art. But I hope you will remember my words today: Born in sorrow, die in peace!
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, we have been facing a situation unprecedented since ancient times.
Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Western Xia, Hui, Tubo, Khitan, Jurchen...... Even Dali in the south, all of them are eyeing my Great Song Dynasty. Further on, there are the Rus, Goryeo, and Dongying Fuso. They may not be strong now, but once they rise, they will bite us hard and bite us all over the body.
I once had a dream: wherever the sun shines, I can reach the iron hooves of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's just that I don't know if there is such an opportunity, but I hope that one day, the little brother can fulfill this wish for me.
Do you want to be the Empress Chen and Empress Li who died in peace, or are you willing to be the ancestor of the Han Dynasty who expanded the territory and established the foundation for thousands of generations, Tang Taizong? ”
Yu Yin's words carried an inexplicable sense of demagogy.
Zhao Chen's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, his chest is getting higher and higher, and his face is revealing an indescribable luster.
Born in sorrow, died in peace!
He was no stranger to these eight words, but he was not as deeply touched as this moment.
"Little B......"
Zhao Chen said softly: "I will definitely help you realize this wish." ”
"Huh?"
Yu Yin glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "What did you say?" ”
"I ......"
"Louder!"
In his body, there seemed to be a fire burning, which made Zhao Chen's face hot.
He suddenly shouted loudly: "Xiao Yi, I will definitely help you realize this wish!" ”
For this little child who followed Yu Yin's side, dressed as a soldier of the Song Army. Liang Yucheng and the others were full of curiosity.
Suddenly hearing Zhao Chen's voice, Liang Yucheng was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Zhao Chen.
A teenager should be a passionate age.
Zhao Chen's face was flushed, and he looked at Yu Yin, his eyes were full of determination.
I don't want to be like Avong, addicted to wine; I don't want to be cowardly and weak like Daddy......
Zhao Chen turned around suddenly. shouted at the Song army under the mound: "I am the crown prince Zhao Chen." I will fight with you today! ”
Yu Yin was stunned, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
And Liang Yucheng and others were dumbfounded.
Prince?
Liang Yucheng seemed to understand something all of a sudden. Get up and shout: "The prince is mighty!" ”
Even Dong Xian and the others, who were hurrying over, also heard the immature shout. A pair of eyes suddenly focused on the small mound. Yu Yin's strange reaction before. All of a sudden, there seems to be a reasonable explanation.
The prince is here.
"It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the prince's army!"
Zhu Meng said that his eyes rolled and shouted loudly.
Dong Xian and the others were also stunned, and immediately shouted loudly as Zhu Meng said, and it quickly spread to all corners of the north shore like an infection.
Many Song soldiers don't even know what the situation is.
But when he heard this shout, he also shouted along. Morale was boosted.
Zhao Duofu and Zhu Xuan were resting in the Chenqiao camp.
Suddenly, he heard a shout outside, hurriedly rushed out of the big tent, and asked nervously, "Wang Niangzi, when did it happen?" ”
Wang Yange looked confused and said, "The slave doesn't know, but suddenly there is a shout outside, 'Shake the mountain is easy.'" Shake the slogan of 'Shake the Prince's pro-army difficulty'. ”
Could it be ......
Zhao Duofu looked at Zhu Xuan, with a complicated look in his eyes.
Come to think of it, it was Yuyin who spread the news that the prince was in the camp. But in this way, wouldn't it make the prince even more dangerous?
But at this time, they couldn't blame Yuyin.
The Great War is coming. It is even more necessary to boost morale...... At this time, what is going on. Can it be more useful than the prince's personal levy?
"Wang Niangzi, you said that Xiaoyi and them, can they stop the thief?"
Wang Yange's expression was complicated, and after a while, he shook his head and said softly: "Chen Qiao has no danger to defend, or he can stop the thief for a while, but he can't stop the other party. Just look at Xiao Yi's means, if it is good, he can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and if it is bad, I am afraid that by tonight at the latest, the thieves will be able to cross the Guangji River...... At that time, there will inevitably be a tragic fight. ”
Zhao Duofu and Zhu Xuan's faces changed.
After a long time, Zhao Duofu suddenly said: "Wang Niangzi, can you share a sword with me?" ”
"Sword?"
"I'm going to be the thief's captive."
Zhu Xuan on the side nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice.
Wang Yange had a smile of appreciation on his face, and said softly: "This matter is easy to do, I will go to the old general Huyan to ask for it later." ”
To be honest, Wang Yange didn't want to be this Laoshizi guard at first.
In her opinion, Zhao Duofu is just a spoiled child who doesn't need protection at all.
Imagine, she travels with Gu Duozi, and stays in the palace on weekdays, where will there be any danger? For a female general who has been prancing on the field, Wang Yange doesn't want to accept it. Later, Yu Yin asked Gao Pet to persuade him, and Wang Yange, a widow, stayed in Tokyo, which was really troublesome, so he followed Yu Yinzhi's words and became Zhao Duofu's guard.
For a long time, she has treated Zhao Duofu and others as children.
Even if he accompanied them out of Beijing before, Wang Yange didn't care too much.
Until now, she found that Zhao Duofu and Zhu Xuan had such a heroic spirit that was not inferior to her, and she was a little happy in her heart.
It's just that she is a little strange, why did Yu Yin expose Zhao Chen's identity?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the twenty-third day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang.
The gates of Kaifeng were closed, and Li Ze stopped negotiating with the Jurchens.
It was only at this time that Wanyan Zongwang and the others reacted, and they seemed to have fallen for the old Zhao Guan's family's plan to delay the army. Just when Yan Zongwang and others were busy ordering the withdrawal of troops, Tan Ma reported that Yin Zhaixing, the governor of Henan Province, had recruited volunteers from Luoyang, had passed Zhengzhou, and was quickly rushing towards Mu Huogang. From Zhengzhou to Mutuogang, it is a distance of more than 100 miles.
Zhai Xing took Zhang Xi, a pot man from Michiyang, as the striker. It is less than 100 miles away from Kaifeng.
At the same time, Liu Shiguang, the envoy of the mighty army stationed in the sour jujube, led the mighty army to quickly move closer to Fengqiu. In addition, the Biankou Water Army is also ready to move, and it is approaching Bai Majin's intentions. One bad news after another came, which made Wanyan Zongwang anxious. And Gao Qingyi and Guo Yaoshi, who are known for their resourcefulness on weekdays, also panicked.
"Second prince, it's not good!"
Just when Wanyan Zongwang was in a hurry. Liu Si's messenger arrived at Moutuogang.
"The Song army suddenly attacked Chen Qiao last night. The Chenqiao ferry has been occupied and the Guangji River pontoon bridge has been burned...... Its strength is unknown.
Liu Sijin asked the second prince to immediately send troops to rescue, and at the same time to be careful of Song Gou's deception. ”
"The Chenqiao ferry was taken away by the Song army? Where is Cao Rong? ”
Pharmacist Guo listened. I couldn't help but scold.
The messenger was prostrate in the tent, but he did not dare to say a word.
Wanyan Zongwang calmed down at this time and waved his hand. He said in a deep voice: "The Chenqiao ferry was broken, and I am afraid that Cao Rong will also be more auspicious."
Now is not the time to be held responsible, this is my fault, but I underestimated this old Zhao official's family.
General Guo, you should immediately lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters and rush to Chenqiao, and be sure to recapture the Chenqiao ferry and set up a pontoon bridge before dark. In order to facilitate the retreat of the large army. Saili and Aru led the troops and horses of the headquarters and immediately sent troops to feint to attack Kaifeng...... Remember, don't fall in love with the war, so as not to be surrounded by Song dogs. Sairi, you have a violent temperament, and you have to listen to Arubu's persuasion.
Gao Shangshu, you and I immediately straighten out the soldiers and horses. Be sure to open it at noon, and there must be no mistakes......"
Now, it is the life and death of the Jurchen East Route Army, and in the big tent of the Jin Army, everyone agrees in unison.
Wanyan Sairi and Wanyan Arubu immediately rushed out of the big tent. Raise troops and horses and launch an attack on the Song army in Kaifeng. As Wanyan Zongwang said. This was a feint, the purpose of which was to hold back the Song army so that the army could evacuate safely.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at himself, and Gao Qingyi hurriedly gathered his troops and horses, and began to prepare for retreat.
A great war that did not exist in history also kicked off......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Fifty miles east of Chenqiao, there is a village called Dimaying.
In ten miles and eight townships, the scale of this Dima camp is not small, with nearly 300 households. Among them, most of them are surnamed Di and Jiao.
It is said that this Di Ma camp was built in the reign of Huangyou, when the privy envoy Di Qing triumphed, and was stationed here.
Most of the residents in the village are the descendants of Di Qing's pro-army generals. Di Qing suffered all kinds of suspicion and suppression during his lifetime, and finally died of depression. After death, although he received supreme glory, the people of the Dema camp did not want to accept it.
After Di Qing was deposed, he lived in seclusion in Chenzhou.
Wen Yanbo repeatedly threatened, but Emperor Renzong sat idly by......
After Di Qing's death, Di Qing's descendants settled in the village at the invitation of Di Ma Ying's villagers, and became Di Ma Ying's big family.
Now the owner of the camp is named Dick.
He was a descendant of Di Qing and was extremely hostile to the Great Song Dynasty.
In the early years of Zhenghe, Dick's enemy was born in Taixue Neishedendi to gain fame, but he resigned and did not do it, got the official title of Wensan of the court, and returned to the Dima camp. The reason why I want to go to Taixue is also to fulfill Di Qing's long-cherished wish. During Di Qing's lifetime, although his military achievements were prominent, it was precisely because of his lack of fame that he was humiliated and suppressed by the civil system in every way.
Before he died, Di Qing left a last wish, hoping that his descendants would abandon martial arts and literature and gain fame.
After two generations of hard work, Di Kedi finally fulfilled Di Qing's wish. However, out of hostility to the Great Song Dynasty, Dick's enemy was unwilling to stay in the court.
At the beginning of the siege of Kaifeng, Dick's enemy had been paying attention to the changes in the situation.
He hated the Great Song Dynasty, but he had deep feelings for the Great Song Dynasty.
So much so that at the beginning of the Battle of Kaifeng, Dike had organized the village warriors and wanted to rush to Kaifeng. How do you know that he has just organized people, but the news of peace between the imperial court and the Jurchens came. How could Dick accept such a result after the enemy was in goal? In a fit of rage, he ordered the disbandment of Xiangyong, stayed in the Dima camp to protect himself, and swore that he would never care about the situation in the Great Song Dynasty again.
However, when he said he didn't care, he was still worried in his heart.
"You mean, there was a sneak attack on Chenqiao Ferry last night?"
In the lobby of Di's mansion, Dick's brows were frowned, looking at the dark and honest young man in front of him, with a look of doubt on his face.
The young man, whose name was Dire, was the youngest son of Dick's enemy.
Di Ke has three sons, the eldest son Di Yun is now studying at Kaifeng Academy, and the second son Di Meng is engaged in business, specializing in the Western Regions trade route, and is now not at home. The young son Di Lei, in the eyes of Di Kedi, is also the person who most resembles his grandfather Di Qing.
Di Lei is already in his twenties, born with divine powers, and has practiced good martial arts.
The family has a pair of iron four-edged maces, weighing eighty-three pounds, known as the first good man in the Dima camp, and no one can compete with it.
Unlike his two older brothers, Dillay was a good soldier.
Di Kedi also taught carefully, and handed over the posthumous manuscript of the art of war written by Di Qing to Di Lei to inherit.
Di Lei said: "The child and Jiao Cheng took people to Chenqiao this morning to inquire about the news, and found that the north bank of Chenqiao has been garrisoned by the Song army.
The pontoon bridge on the river was all burned down by the Song army, and it seemed that it was going to fight a decisive battle with the captives. ”
Decisive battle?
Dick's enemy groaned.
He still doesn't believe that the old Zhao official family and the Great Song Dynasty can have such courage!
How can it change after many years of darkness? Although Song Qinzong ascended the throne not long ago, Dik's enemy has been secretly observing.
In his opinion, there is nothing new in this Great Song Dynasty, and it is still dull.
If there is a change, it means that the struggle for the party in the court is becoming more and more intense, even more ferocious than the Qingli change law back then. And the old Zhao official family is also a cowardly performance. Although Li Gang insisted on Kaifeng, in the eyes of Dikedi, it was just a struggle for power. Therefore, he did not want to wade into this troubled water, and he was not very willing to involve Dillet in it......
At this moment, a young man about the same age as Dilet ran outside the lobby.
"Third brother, inquire clearly."
The young man's name is Jiao Cheng, and his ancestor is also Jiao Yong, a general of Di Qing's department, who died at the hands of Han Qi.
Jiao Cheng's aunt is the wife of Dick's enemy. In terms of seniority, he is also the nephew of Dick's enemy.
Di Lei hurriedly asked: "Who is the Song general who attacked Chen Qiao?" ”
"It's the prince's pro-army, and the soldiers are outside the Lang Yu Yin Yu Xiaoyi, and they have already dealt with the thieves."
Dick's brow furrowed when he heard this.
He had naturally heard of Yu Yin's name, and he knew the process of Yu Yin's rise to fame in the past two years...... Cause? Very simple!
Di Yun, the eldest son of Dick's enemy, studied in Kaifeng, and Zhang San Mazi, who had helped Yuyin at the beginning, was also from Di Ma Ying.
"Daddy......"
Di Lei was a little anxious, looked at Di Ke's enemy and said loudly: "You didn't let the child learn from that Yu Yin, and now Yu Yin is fighting alone in Chenqiao, and the child is willing to lead the villagers to support." ”
"Shut up!"
Dick's eyes widened, and he shouted.
He pondered for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said to Jiao Cheng: "Give me a hard detective to capture the thief's troops, and I will send someone to Kaifeng to find out the news." ”
