The sun is shining, neither hot nor cold-1-

With the arrival of spring, the earth rejuvenates and everything recovers.

Last night's light rain made the road look a little muddy and slippery, and the pace of the march became a little slow. Yu Yin was a little anxious, urging the Beiwei army to speed up the march, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart, so he always felt a little uneasy.

It stands to reason that there is still plenty of time.

But I don't know why, after dawn, Yu Yin's eyelids kept jumping.

The speed of a thousand soldiers and horses is actually very fast.

There is not a lot of baggage to drag down, so there is a lot less burden.

But even so, Yuyin still asked everyone to go faster. He began to regret why it was better to bring a thousand horses from the Heavenly Prison than to walk so slowly.

"Brother, why are you so upset?"

"I don't know, I just don't feel solid anyway."

Gao Chong comforted softly: "Brother Hugh thinks too much, Lao Pang's soldiers and horses, at this time, he can't get Guoqiao Town, if there is any change, he will definitely send someone to report." My brother thought it was because he didn't rest well yesterday, so that's why he did this. When he arrived in Guoqiao Town, his brother slept for a while, and when he woke up tomorrow, there would be no big deal. ”

Yu Yin listened and couldn't help but nod.

He was just about to speak, when he heard someone shouting in front of him: "Where is Commander Jade, where is Commander Jade...... I am Yuan Chaonian of the Black Flag Arrow Team, and I am on the orders of General Pang, and I have an urgent military report. ”

When Yu Yin heard this, she suddenly chuckled in her heart: Could it be that something happened?

"Bring people!"

Yu Yin hurriedly urged him to step forward, and Gao Zhong and He Yuanqing hurriedly followed.

Come to the front of the battle. Then he saw a young man who had fallen from his saddle and was walking briskly.

Yu Yin had some impressions of this young man, and it seemed that he was Pang Wanchun's personal entourage. He also hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward and said, "Yuan Chaonian, what is the military situation?" ”

"Huazhou, Huazhou is reversed!"

"Huh?"

Yuan Chaonian was dusty, and his face was tired.

"Returning to command. When my general fell and I was about to cross the river at the crossing of the Guangji River, I encountered soldiers and horses who had been defeated from Fengqiu.

Cao Rong, the commander of Huazhou, led his troops to surrender to the thieves.

He personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses. Yesterday evening, Fengqiu was captured, and it was rapidly approaching Guoqiao Town. Guoqiao Town is now in chaos, and the Guoqiao Town Protector has disappeared. The people of Guoqiao Town are also escaping towards the Guangji River ferry.

The general ordered Xiaodi to report in a hurry, and asked the commander to make a decision quickly, whether to continue to advance or retreat temporarily. ”

Cao Rong, the other way around......

Yu Yin's heart was also flustered.

Yesterday he said that Cao Rong had surrendered, but that was just speculation.

Who knows, Cao Rong actually thought about it, and also led the soldiers and horses to conquer Fengqiu County. The seal is lost. The north gate of Kaifeng Mansion is completely opened. As long as the Jin soldiers take advantage of the situation and occupy Guoqiao Town and Chenqiao Town, it is equivalent to taking the Guangji River crossing. and then went straight to Kaifeng, and it was only a day...... Thief, that's fast!

"Yuan Chaonian!"

"The little bottom is here."

"You go back at once. Tell Lao Pang to let him take Guoqiao Town first no matter what.

In addition, leave 50 people at the Guangji River ferry to ensure that the river is smooth. I will order the speed to be speeded, and the ferry must not be lost. Other than that. After Lao Pang arrived in Guoqiao Town, he immediately sent scouts to inquire about the news of the thieves, and sent someone to inform me. ”

"Whoa!"

Yuan Chaonian didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly got up, turned over and left.

Yu Yin's heart was in a mess, but his face remained a little shocked.

"Let Zong'an's six Zong'an and seven brothers, one return to Muluogang to inform Zhu Sanlang and Shaoyang, and let them speed up the transfer. If it is really too late to transfer, he will burn down the Mutuogang military village, and he must not leave any grain and grass and thieves.

The other person immediately rushed back to Kaifeng, informed the elder Zong, and asked him to inform Li Shangshu. …,

Just say that I will try my best to hold Guoqiao Town and buy time for him...... Two days at most, and I can only hold on for two days. ”

He Yuanqing hurriedly sent someone to inform the brothers of the Zong family, but Yu Yin's heart was pounding.

"Thirteen Lang, inform Niu Boyuan and Dong Juemin, let them hurry up, they must arrive at the Guangji River at noon, and order one group of men and horses to cross the river first, and the other group of men and horses to stay behind to ensure that the ferry is unblocked. At this time, we can't panic. ”

Trying to calm his mind, Yu Yin issued a series of orders.

Gao Zhong hurriedly went down to make arrangements, and he urged the soldiers and horses to speed up.

"Brother, can we stop the thief?"

Feng Qi urged Ma to Yu Yin's side, and couldn't help but ask softly.

At this time, Yu Yin's head was already a mess of porridge. I thought that I was completely prepared, but who would be at a loss when it came to the end. It is no wonder that although Yuyin participated in the war in Mobei and formed a Beiwei Army in Hangzhou, he had little actual combat experience. Even though he had personally commanded several times to suppress bandits, it was different from the current situation. What he was about to face was the thief, the wolf-like Jurchen, how not to panic in his heart.

Fortunately, he is no longer the hairy boy who has just been reborn, and after two years of training, he is much calmer.

After a moment of panic, Yu Yin took a deep breath and calmed down.

"If you can't block it, you won't know until you hit it."

He scratched his head and suddenly asked, "San Lang, call Liang Yucheng." ”

Feng Shi hurriedly turned the horse's head and left, and after a while, he took Liang Yucheng to Yuyin Horse.

"Those three hundred palm mines, can you keep them safe?"

Liang Yucheng was a gunner introduced by Ling Zhen, so this firearm was naturally handed over to him to manage.

Listening to Yuyin's inquiry, Liang Yucheng hurriedly said: "Back to the command, it is very properly kept, and it can be used at any time." ”

"Very good, when you get to Guoqiao Town, you choose fifty people to come out, and I want that hero with good arm strength and throwing far, I will be useful."

"Whoa!"

Liang Yucheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

Yu Yin no longer delayed, urged the horse to leave, and urged the soldiers under his command. Towards the town of Guoqiao...... This Guoqiao Town is located on the north bank of the Guangji River.

Historically, this place name is little known, and may only be sporadically recorded in some classics. Originally a post town, it gradually developed into a market town. It is not far from it, about eighty miles away. It is the famous Chenqiao Town in history, and Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, is dressed in yellow robes. But now, the development of Guoqiao Town. It has long surpassed Chenqiao Town and has become the only way from Fengqiu to Kaifeng Mansion.

In the early years of Shenzong Yuanfeng, Guoqiao Town became the boundary of Kaifeng Prefecture. and set up armor protection officers.

It's just that even the armaments of the Tokyo Forbidden Army are rotten, not to mention the armor protection system similar to that set up by the militia in later generations.

On the fourth day of the first month of the first year of Jingkang, Cao Rong, the commander of Huazhou, led his troops to surrender under the persuasion of Guo Yaoshi.

Han Minyi, the general of Yizhou, quickly occupied Huazhou to block the Song army in Xiongzhou. After Cao Rong's father and son surrendered, seeing that Guo Yaoshi was very valued by the Yan Sect, he couldn't help but feel jealous, so he volunteered to be the vanguard. Rush to Kaifeng Mansion.

Because Guo Yaoshi wanted to find clothes, he built a pontoon bridge to assist Wanyan Zongwang's army to cross the river.

He also knew the truth of the speed of soldiers, and when he saw that Cao Rong's father and son were eager to make meritorious contributions, he transferred 3,000 horse troops to Cao Rong as the vanguard. Straight to Kaifeng.

From Baima to Kaifeng, the middle must pass through Fengqiu County.

originally thought that there would be a fierce battle in this Fengqiu, but who expected that the Fengqiu County Order heard that the Jin army was coming, so he did not resist at all, and took more than a dozen wives and concubines. fled from Fengqiu County overnight. Cao Rong arrived at Fengqiu and occupied it almost bloodlessly.

Originally, they wanted to pursue overnight, but from Baimajin to Fengqiu County, the soldiers were a little tired. …,

In desperation, Cao Rong then ordered to rest and prepare to continue the attack after dawn. Fengqiu is vulnerable, so if you want to come to Guoqiao Town, you don't have to worry.

As everyone knows, it was precisely because Cao Rong rested this night that he also gave Yuyin a chance.

When Yuyin arrived at the ferry on the south bank of the Guangji River, he saw that the entire ferry was in chaos.

The people and defeated soldiers who fled from Fengqiu and Guoqiao Town were crowded together, scrambling to cross the river and flee. Fortunately, Pang Wanchun asked Yuan Chaonian to lead fifty people to guard a pontoon bridge, so that after the arrival of the Beiwei army, it would not be impossible to cross the river. Dong Xian had already led his troops to cross the Guangji River and was rushing towards Guoqiao Town. Niu Gao led the soldiers and horses to maintain order at the ferry and prevent the rout and refugees from seizing the pontoon bridge.

"I'm the commander of Fengqiu County, I've blinded your dog's eyes, and you won't give way to me!"

A convoy was stopped by Yuan Chaonian's troops at the ferry port on the north bank.

Out of the convoy came a man dressed as an official, scolding and foaming at the mouth.

Yuan Chaonian kept a straight face and didn't speak to the man.

It's just that the back army behind him pulled out a bright steel knife. If this had not been the case, the officials might have ordered a forced crossing of the river.

"Are you the Fengqiu County Commander?"

After Yu Yin crossed the river, he came to the man.

"Your own Fengqiu County Commander Wang Zhen, where are you doing?"

Since the Song Dynasty, a county commander has always had a sense of superiority that is difficult to explain clearly in the face of military generals.

"Since you are the commander of Fengqiu County, you no longer seal Qiuqiu to defend against thieves, why are you here?"

"I ...... You are a commander, and you are in charge of many things. Let me tell you, my brother is Wang Boyan, a scholar of Zhilong Tuge University.

If you are wise, let me cross the river quickly, or you will be good-looking. ”

Wang Boyan?

Yu Yin knew this person.

This person belongs to the East Palace lineage, after Emperor Qinzong ascended the throne, because of the "Hebei Frontier Ten Strategies" combined with Emperor Qinzong's thoughts, so he awarded the Zhilong Pavilion and knew Xiangzhou. Yu Yin not only knew this person, but also knew that this guy was a complete peacemaker.

Previously, the Jurchens once again proposed to cede the three towns of Taiyuan, and Wang Boyan was one of the members who advocated the cession.

In addition, Yu Yin also knew that Wang Boyan was Qin Hui's uncle.

If this Wang Zhen speaks well, Yu Yin will not be able to say it and will not embarrass him...... But when he said this, it aroused Yu Yin's arrogance and stubbornness hidden in his bones.

His eyes suddenly became cold, and after a while, he said calmly: "Since it is the order of Fengqiu County, I don't think about being under the rule of the enemy, but I came here to be arrogant." This is Kaifeng Prefecture, not Fengqiu County...... If you still feel the grace of heaven in your heart, follow me to Guoqiao Town and fight to the death with that thief. If not, get out of the way of me. Otherwise, you will be punished for delaying the military plane. ”

Wang Zhen was furious!

Although he is only a county magistrate, he is a fellow jinshi.

"You despicable man, how dare you do this...... When I go back, I will take a copy of you, and you will not die a good death. ”

Yu Yin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and reached out and pulled out the long knife of the tiger, and saw the knife flash. Bloodshot appeared.

Wang Zhen's head fell to the ground, and the blood gushed out.

"Fengqiu County ordered Wang Zhen to flee without a fight, which was an insult to the national body. He deserves to be killed...... You have heard to me clearly that now that the country is in crisis, my generation should fight to the death. If you flee, you will flee. But anyone who delays military affairs will be killed. ”

In an instant, the Guangji River crossing, which was still in chaos, was silent.

Who can kill someone suddenly, and kill people with such cruel means.

Seeing that no one was making trouble anymore, Yu Yin snorted coldly, and after returning the ferry to Yuan Chaonian, he led his troops to continue to run towards Guoqiao Town.

"Yuan Chaonian!"

"The little bottom is here."

"I'll leave fifty men with you, and I'll show me this pontoon bridge......

I don't care what way you use it. This pontoon bridge must not be lost. If anyone dares to seize the pontoon bridge without authorization, regardless of whether they are high or low, they will be killed on the spot. ”…,

Yuan Chaonian was originally born as a bandit and was a bit lawless.

When those people were forced to cross the river, he was patient. Now there is a military order from Yuyin. He didn't hesitate any longer, and said loudly: "In the name of the command, those who dare to forcibly occupy the pontoon bridge will be killed." ”

Only then did Yu Yin relax and lead his troops to leave.

Once Guoqiao Town is lost, this pontoon bridge is his only way out.

So anyway. Yu Yin can't lose this pontoon bridge...... Now that the catastrophe is coming, he can't take care of much. Anyway, it is better to be humiliated by a guy who violates military discipline and kills than to be humiliated by a guy who runs away without even seeing the enemy.

It's just that his killing of Wang Zhen made the ferry port, which was still messy before, suddenly become orderly...... Yu Yin transferred troops and horses without authorization and went to Guoqiao Town? ”

In the lobby of the military department of Kaifeng Mansion, Li Gang stood up, revealing a shocked look.

At first glance, when he heard that Yu Yin led his troops to pull out, Li Gang was really surprised. But after being angry, he also felt a little strange.

Yuyin said that if Huazhou surrendered, the thieves would be under the city of Kaifeng in a few days.

Li Gang didn't believe it, and even felt that Yu Yin's guess was a bit ridiculous.

Cao Rong, the commander of Huazhou, was a serious martial arts background, and he was tired of the grace of heaven, how could he surrender? Deep down, Li Gang doesn't like Yuyin, and even hates it a little. After all, because of Yu Yin, Li Yifeng discarded his fame and future, and ran away alone to really suffer. And this guy is too good at tossing, all the rights and wrongs that have happened in Kaifeng Mansion in the past two years seem to have something to do with him. Such a person in the market doesn't even have a fame, why should he steal the position of the commander of the forbidden army? To put it bluntly, in Li Gang's eyes, Yuyin is a villain who is lucky.

"This bastard, which one gave him the guts to act without permission?"

Li Gang was so angry that he wandered around the lobby of the military department, and after a while, he walked to the long case and picked up an arrow, "Someone!" ”

Outside the lobby of the military headquarters, there are people waiting.

Hearing Li Gang's call, someone immediately came in: "Li Gong......"

"Give me ......"

Li Gang originally wanted to have people rush to Guoqiao Town with an arrow from the military department to arrest Yuyin, but at this time, he saw Zong Ze with Zong Anliu and ran into the lobby with an anxious look.

"Gong Li, something is wrong!"

"Ru Lin wait a minute, and I'll let people arrest that audacious Yu Xiaoyi first."

"Can't be caught!"

Zong Ze stepped forward and grabbed Li Gang's arm.

"What does Rulin mean by this?"

"I just got the news from my family Liulang, and Commander Yu got the news on the way to Guoqiao Town, and the commander of Huazhou made Cao Rong and his son surrender to the thieves, which showed the white horse. Today, the rebel father and son led their troops as the vanguard and captured Fengqiu County last night. It is estimated that by tonight at the latest, they will arrive at the banks of the Guangji River...... If Li Gong captures the jade command at this time, he is afraid that the thieves and soldiers can reach Kaifeng City. It's better to speed up the rearmament and send reinforcements to support the Jade Command ......"

When Li Gang heard this, his face suddenly changed.

He grabbed Zong Ze's arm, "What Ru Lin said is true? ”

"Gong Li, how can I joke about such a thing at this time?"

Cao Rong is reversed!

Li Gang's heart suddenly set off a monstrous wave.

How could Yu Yin know that Cao Rong would be opposed?

Thinking about it carefully, since the acquaintance of his beloved son Li Yifeng and Yu Yin, almost none of the things that Yu Yin said have come to fruition.

The Jurchens will go to war with the Great Song Dynasty, and sure enough, the war will start!

It is possible that Pharmacist Guo surrendered to the Jurchens, and as a result, he also surrendered......

And now, Cao Rong has also led his troops to surrender as Yu Yin said, and has become the vanguard of the Jurchens.

You know, Yu Yin reminded him and wrote a special letter. But at that time, Li Gang felt that Yu Yin was nonsense.

Not to mention that you, a small commander, can talk about the DPRK and Chinese officials in vain? …,

Who would have thought that Cao Rong would be the opposite!

"Gong Li, what are you hesitating about at this time? Xiao Yi led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and rushed to Guoqiao Town.

He is only more than a thousand people, how can he resist the Jurchen soldiers and horses? At this time, sending reinforcements can at least rely on the Guangji River to delay the footsteps of the thieves. No matter how bad it is, it can buy some time for Kaifeng to prepare, so as not to be too hasty. ”

When Li Gang heard this, he smiled bitterly.

"What Ru Lin said is light, and now most of the soldiers and horses in Kaifeng are sent, where do I draw the soldiers and horses from?"

800,000 forbidden troops, sounds beautiful.

But in fact, how many of them are worthy of a war? Not to mention, since the declaration of peace, the forbidden army has been slackened, and the 800,000 forbidden army is almost nothing. Now in the whole of Kaifeng, the forbidden army, the Xiang army and the Baojia militia add up to only 200,000 people. Among these 200,000 people, I am afraid that there are only 40,000 or 50,000 people who can really be regarded as strong soldiers.

Li Gang arranged the troops and horses, if they were transferred at this time, they were afraid that the defense of Kaifeng would become chaotic......

Zong Ze also stayed in the military department for a few days, and he knew the situation in Tokyo.

After listening to Li Gang's words, he was also silent.

After a while, Li Gang said softly: "Yu Yin has violated the law by leading his troops to meet the battle without authorization.

I issued a military order and ordered the soldiers and horses of Mu Huogang to change the defense of Guoqiao Town...... Ru Lin, that's all I can do. ”

"What about Commander Jade?"

When Zong Anliu heard this, he suddenly became anxious.

"Rokuro, Hugh is talking nonsense."

Li Gang waved his hand and motioned to Zong Zemo to blame Zong Anliu.

He hesitated for a while, but sighed and said: "Yu Xiaoyi, it can only depend on his luck ......" (to be continued) RQ
