Chapter 20: The Soldiers Are Coming to the City

At the end of the royal road, the sky was dark, and the ground was stained with a layer of snow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Taicheng is very quiet, because it is so simple compared to the palace city of later generations, so that it does not give people a sense of majesty and solemnity.

Xie An stayed in the palace tonight, after all, he offended many people today, although he didn't care at all.

The identity of the white-clothed civilians did not enter, and they also scolded the ministers, thinking that this kind of scenery was only when the scholars first crossed the river, when the scholars cried sadly for the fallen Luoyang and the invaded half of the rivers and mountains at the banquet in the new pavilion, Wang Dao used an angry scolding to express his position.

"When the royal family is killed together, and Shenzhou is restored, why should he be a prisoner of Chu and cry evil!"

Crying then and running away now are useless.

Su Jun's soldiers came to the city, coming at the Shi clan, and the grassroots civilians led the clansmen to resist foreign enemies in the troubled times, and since then they have become a general, and now they are forced to rebel by those in power, this was originally a scene that the masses like to see, and the final result should be that these Shi clans should die, but now, the person who wrote this story is Xie An.

He stands in the long river of history and knows that he has this ability, if he does his best, he may be able to change the future, maybe the result will be delayed, but at least it must be delayed until he has the ability to deal with it and turn the situation around.

The rebellion of Su Jun, which had been delayed for many years, finally arrived, and now things are developing as in history, but because of his arrogant behavior during the day, Yu Liang finally agreed to send troops to ambush Su Jun.

Once again, there has been a divergence in history.

The worst plan is that Su Jun breaks through the ambush and enters Jiankang, but at that time, his troops will also be lost, as long as there is a slight difference, the future will change.

For another example, Sima Yan, who faced his throne for the first time and tried to obtain real power from his uncle Yu Liang, is no longer the little lord in history who cried because Sima Zong was killed for his rebellion.

Sima Yan left the inner hall, although his mood was heavy, he also felt inexplicably comfortable, he didn't know if Su Jun would continue to be a puppet or be killed once he attacked the city?

Whatever the outcome, he felt that he was no longer useless.

Xie An didn't wait for him to start eating to fill his stomach, and his younger brother Sima Yue was still complaining on the side, "Why didn't the teacher do such a fun thing and not call Ah Yue?" ”

Sima Yan suddenly felt that his younger brother was much more cheerful after following Xie An, and he had learned to complain, and he used to be like a quail all day long.

The candle shadow danced on the wall, and the wind and snow rose and fell from time to time, and now everyone only hoped that the snow would fall heavier again, so as to stop Su Jun's march and give Jiankang's military defense a chance to breathe.

The food in the palace is not as good as Wang Xizhi's, who called Jiang Zuo's best chef there, Xie An always felt that the emperor Sima Shi had done a really embarrassing job.

Sima Yan has a good appetite and smiles a lot today, because even the Empress Dowager Yu didn't come to get involved in this matter today, obviously she was entangled between her beloved son and her relatives, and finally didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.

"My father died five years ago around this time."

Drinking tea after the meal, Sima Yan and Xie An stood under the eaves with a hot tea in their hands, the wind lamp illuminated the snow, and in a small corner of Jiankang City, Sima Yan suddenly thought of the vast word "Jiangshan".

Xie An said: "Your emperor should be called dead when he dies, and when it is heard and spread, Teacher Bian will feel that he is a failure to be a teacher." ”

Sima Yan smiled lazily and said, "I think he is even more angry with you now, a good student was actually abducted by Master Situ." ”

Xie An looked at his eyes and smiled: "I originally wanted to make you not sad, but I thought I was smart, you don't have the sadness and helplessness in your eyes, our lord has grown up." ”

Sima Yan snorted, "Anyway, I'm also your lord, so I can't lag behind you." ”

"Ambitious, may I ask where the lord surpasses me now, do you want to compare?"

"Deliberately provoke me, I won't be fooled, as the lord, you don't have to be good at everything, as long as you know how to use people." Sima Yan asked again: "You say, am I too indifferent to my uncle today?" ”

Xie An said without thinking: "Indifference is the majesty of the king, remember that when you ask him to do things in the future, you need to reward him with some valuable things, and say a few words of self-consideration, this is the king's compassion and uncle and nephew friendship." ”

Sima Yan then remembered what his father had done in the past, and suddenly realized that this monarch and ministers really need to be managed by their wrists, and he sighed and said: "Fortunately, you and I are friends, these wrists do not need to appear between you and me." ”

"Don't talk too much, maybe one day you'll think I'm such an eyesore......"

"Hey, why do you pour cold water every time I tell you the truth, this cold weather is frozen, my heart is cold!"

"I believe that your father and your uncle got along with friends like us when he was the crown prince, after all, they were famous friends in cloth, so I should not be an official, and now it is very good......"

Sima Yue listened to the small talk between the two and couldn't help laughing, "No wonder Garlic has always wanted to stay in Jiankang and refused to go to live with Master Chu, I am very happy to live with the teacher." ”

It's easy to spend your free days, but it's also the only time left to forget your sorrows, Sima Yan is not Xie An, nor Yu Liang, he is the symbol of Sima's family, after the city is broken, if he bows his head and can still live, which boy is willing to bow his head?

Xie An couldn't think of the situation at that time, and now he only hoped that Yu Liang could win a big victory and stop Su Jun outside the city.

……

Xie Ansu stayed in the palace on the second day, the first day of the second month, which was the third day of the Su Jun coalition army crossing the river.

And on the snowy night when Xie An and Sima Yan were chatting, Su Jun really implemented the art of war, and led the army to the north by land overnight, bypassing the heavy defense of dozens of miles from the south gate of Jiankang, and detouring to the east of Jiankang.

And this area is the place where Tao Hui suggested to ambush the troops, and Yu Liang received the news and went there overnight.

The snow night was cold, the two armies met near Danyang County, and there was a thin ice of Huaishui in between, and the expected results of the two armies were all in vain, the ambush could not be achieved, and the surprise attack was not successful, and the weather was not conducive to marching, so they had to confront each other across the river.

Yu Liang's army was not as large as Su Jun's coalition army, because he still needed to divide the troops between Stone City and Nan Limen, if he really wanted to fight, I am afraid that this less than 5,000 soldiers and horses would be swallowed up by 20,000 people like a torrent.

Both armies temporarily camped on the riverside, waiting for the daylight to come to a life-and-death decisive battle.

The ice of the long river is broken and drifting, and the soldiers with their heads cannot sleep peacefully.

And Sima Zong, who has disappeared for five years, has even more difficulty sleeping tonight.

Five years of escape and dormancy made him more difficult to get close to, the silver-haired King Zong was an outlier among the exile militia, although he was good friends with Su Jun, but after all, his identity was different, he roamed the rivers and lakes in his early years, but later he handed over all the affairs of the rivers and lakes to Liu Sheng, and was his prince with peace of mind, until he was forced to rebel and lost all his glory.

"Isn't Yanagi dead?" Sima Zong asked in the dark and unlit tent.

Chengying stood outside the tent, exhaled a white breath, and said softly: "The injury is not serious, the poison has been cleared." ”

"Since he let Xie An go, this king has felt that he is an out-and-out waste."

"But the prince admires Xie An very much, and when the prince becomes the lord, Xie An is a usable talent, and the secret guard has news that Yu Liang finally dared to send troops when he didn't shrink his head and the turtle was forced by Xie An."

Chengying carelessly diverted the topic, Sima Zong had suffered from a head wind since the failure of the rebellion five years ago, and he would have a headache from time to time, and if he thought too much, it would hurt even more, so Cheng Ying seemed that Sima Zong, who was sick now, was much better coaxed than before, and Sima Zong didn't want to be tortured by the head wind, so he was less angry and used his brain.

"As soon as the war starts tomorrow, you don't need to care about the king, just sneak into Yu Liang's army and cut off his head."

Chengying said lightly: "Lord Wang, you forgot again, Su Jun said that Yu Liang's head was left to him, and before that, Su Jun would try every means to torture him, so that his life was worse than death." ”

"The king has not forgotten." Sima Zong lay on the cold seat, closed his eyes, and suddenly flashed the fiery peony in Luoyang in his mind, "Although Yu Liang is stupid, he is a celebrity, and this king doesn't like a rough person like Su Jun to insult a learned person, and he must die simply to be regarded as respect." ”

They have an alliance with Su Jun, but if Sima Zong really wants Yu Liang to die a dignified and happy death and take the lead, Su Jun will not be angry for the time being, but once the allies have a gap in their hearts, they may be unfavorable to them.

After all, they are already the defeated generals under the fence.

……

Huaishui temporarily blocked the war, and built a defensive screen for Yu Liang's army, only 5,000 soldiers and horses, Yu Liang finally realized the cowardice of Zhong Ya and Zhao Yin when they saw Su Jun's coalition army at the crossing of the Hengjiang River, he was a scribe, he had never been in Jiankang City to guide the country, and he never thought that he would be forced by two teenagers to say the words of leading the troops in person.

Now he led 5,000 men and horses, and there was no vantage point for an ambush, so he had to retreat to the mountains by the river, and despair and regret arose in his first life.

To return or not to return, to fight or not to fight?

The night will soon pass, the vanguard of the Su Jun coalition army has begun to prepare for the river, they are full of food and grass materials, and wisps of victory, full of fighting spirit, compared to their own army, as the main general of their own has begun to hesitate, the pair of eyes looking at themselves suddenly became like ghosts and terrible.

His subordinates Guo Mo and Zhao Yin were also looking at him, waiting for his decision.

Yu Liang seemed to see a game facing collapse, and he was losing and being eaten away step by step......

"Retreat...... Withdraw! ”

Yu Liang was exhausted, and after shouting twice, he fainted due to excessive fatigue.

It's too late to retreat, Su Jun will not let go of the meat in front of him and not eat, camping is an illusion, he took more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river to raid first, the most fortunate thing is that because Yu Liang fainted, the whole army of Jiankang was ready to withdraw, and there was no panic to deal with.

More than 5,000 against more than 10,000, fighting by the Huaishui in the middle of the night, when the sky was light, only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses escorted Yu Liang back to Jiankang City in embarrassment.

The final result was that both parties suffered too much loss, and Su Jun not only failed to capture Yu Liang, but also lost more than he expected due to the unfavorable time and place.

As a result, the Su Jun coalition army finally slowed down, and slowly advanced to Zhoushan in the northeast of Jiankang while cleaning up the battlefield.

Therefore, although this battle did not achieve the expected record, it can be regarded as a respite for Jiankang.

It took Su Jun two days to arrive from Danyang County to Zhoushan.

Zhoushan is the western branch of the Purple Mountain, bordering Xuanwu Lake in the north, which is already close to the northeast of Jiankang, and is also the weakest place in Jiankang's defense.

……

Yu Liang finally woke up after being in a coma for a whole day, and as soon as he opened up, he saw Xie An's handsome and indifferent face, and suddenly wanted to faint again.

Yu Yi pressed his shoulder and said softly: "Big brother, don't move, Ahri is helping you with needles." ”

"How's the war going?" In fact, the moment Yu Liang saw Xie An, he thought that he was dead and went to Huangquan, because Xie An's expression really did not have any warmth.

Yu Yi briefly talked about the battle, and exaggerated it, saying that although this trip was not conducive to ambush, at least it was a credit to be able to damage Su Jun's troops, and our losses were not too heavy, and the wounded soldiers came back one after another, and more were captured......

"I need you to coax?!" Yu Liang was annoyed and angry, and wanted to get up, but was pushed back by Xie An, "It's not to praise you, it seems that you need to be scolded?" The younger generation likes to scold people the most, and if you want to talk about the mistakes made by adults, you can write thousands of words, and then print them into newspapers for people in Jiankang City to read. ”

Newspaper...... What is it? Yu Liang didn't pull down his face and asked, at this time, he didn't know which acupuncture point Xie Anzha was to, and suddenly he couldn't even speak.

Now that the Su Jun coalition army has arrived at the foot of the Zhoushan Mountain, Sima Yan has sent Bian Wangzhi and Zhong Ya to lead troops to stop it, and now the two sides should be fighting in the Xiling area.

Xiling is the mausoleum of the Sun family of Eastern Wu, and I don't know if the Sun family will bless them to win this battle.

"It's really a soldier coming to the city." Xie An sighed and said with a smile, "Adults still have to take good care of their bodies, and this battle still has to be fought." ”

Xie An pushed open the door, it was a sunny day in winter and snow, the Yu mansion was no longer quiet, and the snow on the ground had long been trampled on by the servants who came and went, these were all arranged by Yu Yi, at this moment of crisis, the eldest brother was in a daze, so it was better to leave the family wealth and female dependents and children from Jiankang first.

Yu Yi looked at Xie An's thin back and asked, "Is your family leaving?" ”

"Wang Xie and his family will not leave, we will stay in Wuyi Lane."

Xie An turned his head, and in the backlight, the young man's expression was so indifferent that he seemed not to be in the world.

Yu Yi sighed and said, "I just heard that you want to follow Bian Wangzhi and Zhong Ya into battle again, but you were still stopped, are you really not afraid of this kid?" Swords and guns have no eyes! ”

Xie An shook his head, and did not answer the question of whether he was afraid or not, death, everyone was afraid, before he was worried about his family and wanted to send them away, but he refused to leave even Garlic, saying that he wanted to accompany him, and Jiankang was not the only one who did not leave.

As soon as Xie An left the Yu Mansion, he didn't walk far before he heard Huan Wen's voice calling him from afar, and it was also amazing that the guy who was not yet healed actually walked out of the Eldest Princess's Mansion intact.

Huan Wen looked for him for a long time, caught him for a long time, and talked about how he and the eldest princess fought wits and courage, and finally he escaped with a swagger, only then did he know that the soldiers were already in the city, and he couldn't wait to go to the battlefield with a spear immediately, so he came to call Xie An to go with him.

"I can't go."

Xie An shook his head and looked around, Huan Wen grabbed his head inexplicably, Xie An simply coughed lightly and said, "Come out", as soon as the words fell, I saw people in Xuanyi coming from all sides of the streets, and one of them knelt down on one knee and said, "What does San Lang command?" ”

Huan Wen: "......"

Xie An said helplessly: "The secret guard sent by the lord." ”

Huan Wen rolled his eyes, and he also learned from him to cough lightly and shouted: "Come out!" ”

Of course you can't shout anything, Huan Wen shrugged, the two looked at each other with a wry smile, Xie An said with a straight face, "You go home with me, now your younger brothers live in my house, but my house is also next door to the Langya Wang family." ”
