Chapter 718: The Mausoleum of the Song Emperor

"Report! The vanguard of the Song South Road army has arrived in Zhuxian Town! ”

When the information came to the Marshal's Mansion in the city, everyone was surprised! The heart says it comes so fast! Wu Yanping, who was sitting in the right seat, got up, and then sat back in his seat with a stiff expression.

Because of the arrival of this military situation in the council hall of the mansion, there was a sudden noise, and then the eyes of all the civilian and military generals converged on Wu Yanping.

Wu Yanping, who is in his forties, was unmoved, his dark face was engraved with the wind and frost of the years, and a slender scar slanted between his eyebrows and directly to the corner of his left mouth.

At this moment, although Wu Yanping tried his best to maintain his composure, he was already sighing silently in his heart.

Since the Northern Expedition of the Song Army's Three-Way Army, the imperial court guarded by himself has been defeated along the Three Routes, and many generals in the army have also died.

Even the Liu father and son, whom he admired the most, ended up with a bad end, which made him feel a kind of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Several generals in the army have died in battle, and now there are not many commanders who can pick up the big beams, and he, Wuyanping, with the 100,000 troops in Bianjing City, can really resist the Song army with a rainbow of morale?

For the people of Kaifeng, he can advocate that the imperial reinforcements are about to arrive, and for the generals in the council hall, he can hide and encourage them in good faith.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the imperial court behind it has planned to take the Yellow River as the boundary and take the initiative to abandon the military resolution of Kaifeng.

And he has to be so persistent in supporting it, and would rather disobey the military order to support it, what is it for, perhaps only he knows best in his heart.

Wu Yanping's hand rested on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and a pair of bloodshot eyes scanned everyone in the scene. The subordinates all knew that the general was going to make the final pre-war mobilization.

"In the past, Marshal Liu had a trust for Wu, and now Wu is the Kaifeng guard, vowing to protect the last line of defense of my Dajin south of the Yellow River!"

Wu Yanping said, his tone paused slightly, and then solemnly continued: "Over the years, I, Dajin, have surrendered everywhere I go, and have defeated the southern army and the northern army several times, how can I have the defeat I have now? ”

"Wu is not hiding it from you here, this situation is especially dangerous than before. The southern army is menacing and sharp, and our side ......"

"General, is the imperial court already planning to give up Kaifeng?"

"General, is the imperial court already planning to retreat to Hebei?"

"General......

Wu Yanping's pause and embarrassment had already made everyone present see the clues, they were not those low-level soldiers who were easy to agitate and deceive, and many signs in the past few days had actually made them begin to have doubts.

The imperial court was slow to send reinforcements, and the required grain and grass were gradually unable to be supplied, and these series of problems highlighted that the rear base camp had a strange decision.

Wu Yanping did not feel the slightest surprise when the generals saw the clues, but nodded silently: "Yes, three days ago, Wu Mou had received an order from the privy envoy, ordering our army to abandon Kaifeng and quickly evacuate the north bank of the Yellow River to consolidate the Yellow River defense line!" ”

After all, the truth was revealed, and all the generals in the hall were silent in an instant.

At the moment when the speculation in their hearts was confirmed, they were not angry at Wu Yanping's arbitrary assertions, but were extremely disappointed with the current approach of the Jin Imperial Court.

In the past, they were the only ones who trampled and crushed others, and they were reduced to fleeing like prey.

Feeling the strange atmosphere in the hall, Wu Yanping slapped the table on the table, and his voice became violent: "However, now that I have 100,000 soldiers gathered in Tokyo, Wu doesn't believe that he can't stop the Song army's soldiers!" It's just a southern barbarian, what a way! ”

"That's right! It's just a southern barbarian, what a way! ”

"It's just a Nanban, what a way!"

"It's just a Nanban, what a way!"

Several generals responded loudly to Wuyanping, which made the atmosphere in the entire conference hall high.

"The so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, since the current emperor of Huangkou Xiaoer of the Song State is stationed in Zhuxian Town, Wu decided to organize the soldiers and horses to raid the Song army and capture the Song Emperor. Let's have our backs to the city of Tokyo and fight to the death with the Southern Army!! ”

"If you are blessed by the gods, all the armies will fight hard, and defeat the invading enemy, then I and all the princes will be national merits and will go down in history! The court will not hesitate to reward it! Of course, Wu's move was not to show his strength, but to let the emperor and the ministers of the court understand that my Dajin soldiers would rather die on the battlefield than take a step back! ”

Wu Yanping said that, and stood up majestically. The general next to him immediately handed the iron helmet, he buckled his head, clutched the hilt of the knife, and without saying more, strode out!

Seeing him describe it like this, who in the audience will not be excited by it?

In particular, the sentence 'I would rather die on the battlefield than take a step back' is undoubtedly a catalyst for the soldiers who lick blood on their heads.

The generals in the hall followed as if they were shadows, and the anxiety on the faces of these people before was swept away, and they were ready to rush to the battlefield with murderous energy!

A big war is imminent!

The Wuyanping group rushed to the battlefield with the heart of victory and death, and when they were mobilized in the house, three fast horses were galloping away to the west of Tokyo!

A horse is a good horse, a good horse that travels thousands of miles every day! People are also unusual, and they are agile on horseback!

Gong County, named after the site of the imperial mausoleum of the Song Dynasty.

The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty built the imperial mausoleum here because the feng shui of Gongxian County is excellent, with Songshan Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. Due to the geographical form of high in the south and low in the north, according to the funeral method of the Tang Dynasty, it can be called - the mountains are high and the water comes, and the life is endless!

When the three fast horses came to Gongxian, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Ye Yu, dressed in white casual clothes and a snow-white war horse on his crotch, surrounded by the lone wolf and Wu Yuechan, directly entered the Song Emperor's Mausoleum area.

When the three of them came to the imperial tomb, they were blocked by a Song army guarded, and then Wu Yuechan showed her waist card before letting the three enter the imperial tomb.

Along the long Imperial Tomb Shrine Road, you can see barren grass and ruins everywhere, but the grand Song Imperial Mausoleum in the past is now so bleak.

The establishment of the Song Tomb generally inherited the Tang system, although it was not as magnificent and majestic as the Tang Tomb, but it was also a shocking masterpiece.

The Song Mausoleum, which now catches Ye Yu's eyes, has become the only memorial site that can be traced in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It hides the countless glories and humiliations of the past, and stands silently and solemnly on this troubled land, showing people a bitter and shameful history.

After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers stationed in the Song Tombs, in order to plunder and revenge, they carried out the destruction of the Song Emperor's Tombs. For a time, the wolf smoke was everywhere, and the grave was dug and the coffin was opened, which was miserable. The mausoleum area is full of corpses and bones, filled with smoke and fire, and it is a mess.

Now that Ye Yu has come here to pay homage to the mausoleum, although it is not a mess of corpses and bones, the imperial mausoleum in front of him has long been barren.

In the past, the majestic and forbidden place of the imperial tomb is now infested with wild beasts in the grass, and the cry of foxes and wolves is very desolate.

(Whew!) )
