Chapter Forty-Eight: Wang Yan is here
Although the True Treasure Monk found the underground palace full of gold, silver and jewelry, to his dismay, he still failed to kill Guo Jing and Yu Qingzi. The thick mountain stone near the cliff wall of the underground palace was chiseled through, and then three zhang below, there was another cave. A few feet down from the cave, there was another cave. There were five such caves, and only then did I see a thick cable hanging down to the bottom of the cliff.
Zhou Yi looked at the cable under more than ten zhang and said, "It seems that this dog thief has already thought of a way to escape." Presumably, these caves were originally connected by cables. When they climbed down a cave, they cut a cable. Now that there is no rope in the dungeon, it seems that the two dog thieves can only escape. ”
The real treasure monk looked at the cliff cave below again and again, and felt that there was no rope to forcibly jump down, and it was definitely a dead end. Even though he is arrogant and regards death and life as a game, he will not commit suicide like this. Taking a deep breath, the True Treasure Monk laughed and said, "Let these two dog thieves go for the time being." Anyway, they also dedicated all the gold, silver and jewelry that they had cheated for decades to our rebels. Brother Zhou, I heard that the weapons in Yingtianfu Armory Workshop are excellent, I wonder if you can sell me some? ”
Zhou Yi hurriedly said, "True Treasure Master, although I am Yue Fei's senior brother, I have always cared about this. In Yingtianfu, the army is the army, the government is the government, the people are the people, and no one can monopolize power. However, I also heard that since the Ying Tianfu Armory Workshop was taken over by Xu Qing, the output of knives and guns has increased several times. If there is a spare weapon, of course, it will be sold to the rebels of the True Treasure Division. But I haven't responded to Tianfu for a few months, and I don't know what the situation is there? If the True Treasure Master is interested in buying weapons, why don't you go to Yingtianfu with me. After all, the weapons of thousands of rebels are not one or two, this is a big business. ”
Zhenbao thought for a moment and said, "It's okay." I have heard that Ying Tianfu is a paradise, and after a while, I will also go to see this monk. By the way, let's learn Yue Wu's hand skills. ”
At this time, the rain was still pouring down. Standing on the edge of the cliff cave, Zhou Yi looked at the great rivers and mountains covered by the rain, and suddenly a wave of worry surged in his heart. He remembered what Yu Qingzi said just now, this nine-tailed fox organization is really a hundred-legged insect. Although there were only nine of them, they seemed to have a very strong reserve underneath. If you die one, you can fill in one. In this way, Amitabha Buddhism will definitely make a comeback. If you want to pacify the Central Plains, it seems that you must first destroy this nine-tailed fox who hates the Central Plains very much. Although their number is small, they seem to have mastered the righteousness and the way of heaven in this era. If you don't destroy them, don't destroy their heresy of the five virtues, under the large-scale attack of the Jin army, I don't know how many wavering heroes and heroes will surrender to Dajin.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi couldn't help but sigh. After the True Treasure Monk knew Zhou Yi's thoughts, he said disapprerovingly, "Brother Zhou also looks up to the nine-tailed fox too much. Since ancient times, there has been an endless stream of left side doors, and although they are skilled in making trouble, their energy is also limited. Only the people at the top are not blinded by them, and they are just miscellaneous Taoists. ”
Zhou Yi knew that the nine-tailed fox was not such a simple left side door, but it was not good to appease the great interest of the True Treasure Monk, so he immediately smiled and said, "The True Treasure Master is reasonable. I wonder when the True Treasure Master plans to go to Yingtian? I failed to hunt down Guo Jing this time, so I have to respond to Tianfu first. If the True Treasure Master is too eager, it is better to go to Ying Tianfu with me. ”
Monk Zhenbao touched his broken arm and said a little helplessly, "I must send a little money to the brothers before I can go to Yingtianfu." Otherwise, when I return with my weapons, the brothers will starve to death. That wouldn't be able to fight gold. Besides, I'm afraid I'll have to recuperate for a while with this arm. Guo Jing's dog thief had a very hard hand and actually broke my bones. ”
The true treasure monk said that his bones were broken, as if he were talking about someone else's. However, from the yellow beads of sweat on his forehead, he knew that he was holding back the pain. Zhou Yi immediately stepped forward to support the True Treasure Monk and said in a low voice, "After the True Treasure Master descends the mountain, let's first find the orthopedic doctor to see the injury." Although my division is an arhat of the tiger, he must also have the courage of King Kong to be able to subdue demons and eliminate demons. ”
After the monk returned to the ground, he immediately instructed the heroes to bring up the gold, silver and jewelry in the underground palace. As soon as the rain stopped, the heroes had a hasty meal on the ruins of Canglong Temple, and then went down to Huashan with gold, silver and jewelry. But to the surprise of the Zhenbao Monk and Zhou Yi, none of the girls who were sold to the mountain were willing to go down the mountain.
These girls were either sold to the mountains by traffickers or by their biological parents, and they were already homeless. Besides, the mountain is not very peaceful, the servant army of the golden dog, the rebel army from all walks of life, and the western army of the imperial court are killing and killing on the entire Shaanxi Road. When these weak women go down the mountain, they are just fish on the knife board. It is better to live on this Huashan Mountain, although the Taoist priests of Canglong Courtyard are dying, and they are descending, but the fourth courtyard is a place to put grain, where there are thousands of stones of grain, which was originally a year's ration for five or six hundred Taoist priests. Now all the Taoist priests are gone, and there are only forty or fifty girls left, so they can naturally survive here.
The righteous army of the True Treasure Monk had long been so hungry that their eyes were blue, and of course they would not let go of these thousands of stone grains. But there were only a hundred of them, and it was enough to take gold, silver, and jewelry. I really can't spare my hands to get food. So the True Treasure monk agreed to the women's request. For the time being, let these women live in the mountains and guard the grain. After transporting the gold and silver back to Wutai Mountain, he sent people here to transport grain.
As soon as Zhou Yi and Meng Lin got off Huashan, they said goodbye to the Zhenbao monk. All the way to Yingtianfu. The two of them didn't know that Yue Fei was still on Taihang Mountain at this time. And a sudden news disrupted Yue Fei's plan to move the rebels of Erlongshan.
It is said that when Yue Fei was showing off his might under the city of Xiangzhou, Zhang Suo, the envoy of Hebei West Road, sent 7,000 soldiers, led by the famous Wang Yan, and Bai Anmin Zhang Yi was the deputy, starting from the Daimyo Mansion and taking the Weizhou Mansion directly.
When Wang Yan arrived in Weizhou, it was the moment when Pucha Shijianu and Jin 13 led troops to aid Xiangzhou. Weizhou was sparsely armed and unable to stop Wang Yan's attack. Wang Yan defeated Xinxiang County, Weizhou with the momentum of the tiger descending the mountain.
Pucha Shijianu failed to rescue Yelu Ma Wu, returned to Weizhou, and learned that Wang Yan had conquered Xinxiang County. Deng Shi was furious, poured out the whole army of Weizhou, and attacked Wang Yan. Wang Yan immediately fell into a bitter battle. You must know that Pucha Shijianu's army against Wang Yan has a total of 10,000 people, including 7,000 mature female real soldiers, and 3,000 Liao and Bohai Han soldiers, which can be said to be all veterans of a hundred battles. Although Wang Yan's department had 7,000 people, the armor was rough and the soldiers were not neat. If it weren't for the fact that on the first day of the battle, Wang Yan carried a big gun in his hand, went straight through the Jin army, beheaded 17 warriors of the Jin army, and scared away Pucha Shijianu, his 7,000 army would not have been able to hold out for even a day.
Seeing that Wang Yan was invincible, Pucha Shijianu surrounded Wang Yan's camp. The Jin army surrounded Wang Yan's camp, and the arrows flew like arrows, shooting into the camp of the Song army. Thousands of iron horsemen stepped on the camp gate, ready to break into the camp at any time.
The remnants of the armor on the Song army were not enough to block the armor-breaking arrows of the Jin army, and the camp was not enough to resist the iron cavalry charge of the Jin army. After them, there was also an army of 10,000 people who appeased Zhang Suo.
But what Wang Yan didn't expect was that as soon as his army left the daimyo, Zhang Suo lost his position as a pacification envoy. An envoy from Yangzhou, accompanied by Du Chong, the deputy of Bianliang, came to the Daimyo and directly seized the official position of Zhang. sent Zhang to Jinghu South Road as an official.
Before leaving, Zhang repeatedly asked the new envoy Zhang Yiqian to send troops to meet Wang Yan. Zhang Yiqian just raised his head and ignored it. Zhang Suo sighed to Governor Wei, "General Wang Yan, it's not that I Zhang Suo doesn't want to send troops, it's really God's eyes." ”
Zhang Suo left the Daimyo Mansion with his youngest son Zhang Zongben and went to Jinghu South Road to take up a job, but he suffered Wang Yan, who didn't know the inside story. Wang Yan had been waiting for reinforcements from Zhang Suo. After three days of hard work, the camp was finally broken by Pucha Shi's slaves.
Under the back-and-forth conflict of more than 10,000 Jin troops, Wang Yan's 7,000 men and horses were about to be wiped out. Fu Qing, Fu Xuan, Meng De, and Jiao Wentong led hundreds of rebels to kill them. Forced to fight a bloody way from the more than 10,000 Jin army, and took out the remaining more than 900 people in Wang Yan's department.
Pucha Shijianu was furious, and personally led hundreds of elite horsemen to bite their tails and pursue. But Wang Yan is the first hero in the two rivers, and Fu Qing is a famous general in history, a big gun, a big knife, although he is covered with dozens of wounds, he still kills the courage of the Jin army. Even Pu Cha Shi's slave's love for Pu Chading was cut into two pieces by Fu Qing.
Fu Qing killed Pu Chading, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl. "Father, mother, the child has avenged you."
Of course, killing Pu Chading still can't save the defeat. Under the rapid pursuit of Pucha Shijianu, Wang Yan and Fu Qing ran all the way to Taihang Mountain, and only then did they get rid of the pursuit of the Jin army. But there were only more than 700 people who followed Wang Yan to Taihang Mountain. Of the four hundred cavalry of Fu Qing who came to the rescue, there were only more than 100 cavalry left.
Looking at the bloodied comrades behind him, and then at the reckless Taihang Mountain, Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Brothers, it's me Wang Yan who can't stand you." There is no more than one out of ten out of seven thousand brothers, all of whom are the faults of my Wang Yan who do not know how to advance or retreat. ”
Adjutant General Bai Anmin said indignantly, "General Wang is not wrong. The mistake was Zhang's appeasement. If his reinforcements can come in time, we should cooperate with the outside world, why worry about not being able to defeat the Golden Dog army, why worry about not being able to recover Weizhou. I just don't understand, why didn't Zhang Zhaofu, who has always done what he said, dare not send troops this time? ”
Fu Xuan couldn't help but sneer when he saw Bai Anmin accusing Zhang Suo, "General Bai doesn't know anything. Zhang Zhaofu has been removed from his post by the imperial court and sent to Jinghu South Road. Don't you know the news? ”
Wang Yan was taken aback and asked loudly, "Brother Fu Xuan, is this true?" Zhang Zhaofu made a brave and loyal envoy and made a great contribution to pacifying the two rivers, how could he be demoted? You're not kidding, are you? ”
Fu Xuan said with a smile, "This matter has already spread all over the two rivers. It's just that General Wang was surrounded by the Jin army and didn't receive any news. The newly appointed appeasement made Zhang Yiqian a timid capitulationist. After taking office, he cut off contact with local militia groups. I think this dog thing will definitely surrender to the golden dog. The court asked him to be a soothing envoy, but he was really blind. My Fu Xuan only serves three people in this life, and the first one is Zhang Suozhang Zhaofu. ”
Wang Yan saw that Fu Xuan said it in such detail, so he knew that this matter was true. But he still glanced at Fu Qing again. Fu Qing emphasized, "General Wang, Zhang Zhaofu was really removed by the imperial court. ”
Wang Yan was inexplicably sad and indignant in his heart, and couldn't help but scold Zhang Yiqian for misleading the country. In fact, Wang Yan also knew that it was not Zhang Yiqian who misled the country, but the person who misled the country was the person who mentioned Zhang Yiqian to the envoy. However, although Wang Yan is heroic and righteous, and he is famous in the rivers and lakes, he is extremely loyal to the monarch and serves the country. Let him accuse the emperor, even if it is in his heart, it is absolutely impossible.
After venting his inner depression, Wang Yan had to think about where he was going. The Daimyo's Mansion is no longer available. Zhang Yiqian is as timid as a mouse to the Jin people, but he is open the way to killing his own people. I was originally at odds with this dog thief, but now I have lost the battle, and I will definitely die and live when I go back. The Daimyo's Mansion can't go back, Bianliang can't go for the time being, and Pucha Shijianu must be deployed along the road. Even if they don't defend themselves, they don't have food to eat. It seems that you can only go up to Taihang Mountain to find some food to eat first.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan pointed at Taihang Mountain with a horsewhip and said loudly, "Thousands of miles of Taihang is the place where soldiers must fight." Brothers, come with me to Taixing, and meet those heroes, okay? ”
The crowd proclaimed goodness.
