Chapter 30: The Battle of Stone Town
The rainy season is coming, the rain in Sanwu continues, the flood is raging, and the news that Su Junyi's ships were repelled in Sanwu came from the front, and in Jiankang City, Su Jun's subordinates persuaded him to kill Wang Dao's ministers, but before the order was issued, the news leaked, and Su Jun also seemed to have been deliberated all night, because he had always respected Wang Dao, and finally gave up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The rebel army failed to land repeatedly, and built a white stone base overnight in the Lion Mountain in the north of Stone City, and there were constantly courtiers leaving in Jiankang City, together with Wang Dao and He Chong also fled overnight, Wang Dao went to Baishilei, Wuyi Lane Wang Xie and his family went to the West Garden overnight to take refuge, and now the huge Wang Xie two houses, only Wang Xizhi and Xie Shang stayed.
Originally, the two ladies Cao and Lei had to take Wang Xizhi away, how could there be a reason for the girl to stay and guard the house, but I didn't think that Wang Xizhi had already obtained the key to the warehouse at Wang Dao's home, coupled with all kinds of Suzaku rumors recently, no one dared to approach even if he had the courage to do so.
Wang Xizhi simply lived in Wang Dao's study, guarding his cherished Penglai Fati, and Xie Shang stayed because of Yuan Tan's sister Yuan Nuzheng.
Many years ago, when Yuan Tan married his eldest sister Empress Yuan Yu Yinhao, he wanted to marry his little sister Yuan Nu to Xie Shang, and after ten years, Xie Shang has never had a favorite woman, although there are many girls outside who admire this Jiangzuo Meilangjun, but Xie Shang's appearance is empty and romantic, but he is actually hard-hearted and not close to women.
To say that this Yuan Tan is also harmful, if he wasn't so enthusiastic about marrying Xie Shang, his little sister would not have been thinking about Xie Shang since she was a child.
Before Su Jun entered the city, Yuan Tan asked the servants to escort Yuan Nuzheng to leave Jiankang and go to his sister for temporary refuge, although his brother-in-law Yin Hao has attracted the attention of the Yu family over the years and has repeatedly wanted to recruit him as an official, but he is indifferent, insists on not being an official, and retreats in the countryside. Empress Yuan saw that her little sister had reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and she was still waiting for Xie Shang, so she simply wanted to take advantage of this time to say that she was close to her, but Yuan Nuzheng was naturally unwilling, so she ran away overnight and returned to Jiankang.
Yuan Tan has been busy these days by Wang Dao, and he has the intention to ask Xie Shang to take more care of Yuan Nuzheng, and Xie Zhenshi also intends to promote this family, so he actually left Yuan Nuzheng in Xie's house to live, and now when he wants to leave Wuyi Lane for refuge, Yuan Nuzheng knows that Xie Shang wants to guard his home, and resolutely wants to stay with him.
Xie Shang couldn't avoid it, and he had nowhere to say, but it happened that this day, seeing that Wang Xizhi was planning to ride a little dragon girl to inspect the surrounding environment of Wuyi Lane, he simply pulled this future brother and sister to complain.
I didn't think that after Wang Xizhi heard his complaints, he said for no reason, "Ahri told me, in fact, you have someone you like?" ”
……
Xie Shang looked dazed: "He told you?" ”
"Isn't it Song Yi?" Wang Xizhi tilted his head and said, "Maybe it's not a liking, it's a kind of appreciation and pity, I also think that a character like Brother Xie should be worthy of the kind of woman who captivates the country and the city, but even if she doesn't leave, she can't become your wife, this world can't tolerate a woman like her to become the main room, and forget about each other in the rivers and lakes, which is the best ending." ”
Xie Shang smiled and said, "...... It doesn't look like Ahsu said that, but Ahri's boy spied on my thoughts. ”
Wang Xizhi simply rounded up the gossip for Xie An, and asked, "Do you like that?" ”
Xie Shang said: "You said it for me, why should I say more, everything in this world is dull, even if it is Asu, I don't like a dull life, right?" ”
Wang Xi said seriously: "With Ahri, I won't feel bored, but when I practice writing alone, I won't feel bland, but sometimes when I'm tired of writing and want to see people close to me, I will feel that this is not Penglai, but the world." ”
Xie Shang is naturally very satisfied with his younger siblings, and only thinks that it is worth exchanging his life's happiness for Xie An's family, "Everyone says that Penglai is good, but you are attached to the world, and the phoenix in the sky likes my kitten, which is really his blessing." ”
The two love each other is the most beautiful existence in the world, comparable to the peach blossoms in spring, the lotus in summer, the maple red in autumn, the frost and snow in winter, and the four seasons, but the beautiful scenery of the good day has never changed.
Xie Shang never thought of talking about his heart with Wang Xizhi, who originally seemed to be unworldly, but after talking, his mood seemed to have become a little better in the haze of this rainy season.
As soon as he got home, Yuan Nu was waiting for him at the gate of the Xie family's mansion with an umbrella.
"Brother Fang Cai came here and said that it was Lord Yu who was stationed in Baishilei now, but he only brought 2,000 soldiers and horses, and Su Jun had gathered 10,000 people to besiege Baishilei......"
Yuan Nuzheng knew that he would get a little response when he talked to Xie Shang about the war, Xie Shang was not indifferent to others, but he had a calm personality, and when he had nothing to say, he would only smile at you, but when he smiled, Yuan Nuzheng felt sad again.
Xie Shang looked uninterested: "I have time to inquire about this, and I don't see Yuan Yandao who has time to plan with me to go to Stone City to rescue Ahri, if I wasn't worried about Ahri, I would have left the city and joined the righteous army." ”
Yuan Nuzheng said cautiously: "Brother said that Su Jun values San Lang very much, and he should be worry-free now." ”
Xie Shang entered the mansion and saw that the candles in the lobby were dim, and asked, "What about the children of the Huan family?" Thinking about going to Han Huang for revenge today? ”
The children of the Huan family have been living in the Xie family recently, but they didn't expect the news of Huan Yi's death in battle recently, except for Huan Chong, who was still young and ignorant and could only cry, the rest of the sons were eager to find Han Huang and the county official who betrayed their father, especially Huan Wen, who had been sleeping for several days in the Huan Mansion against the corpse of his father brought back by Han Huang.
Xie Shang can control the rest of the teenagers, but there is no way to take Huan Wen, first, Huan Wen has reached the crown, he is not an ignorant teenager, and second, Huan Wen is not a reckless person, Xie Shang believes that he has the power of self-control.
Yuan Nuzheng said: "Chong'er cried a lot, a few brothers wanted to go home, but they were driven back by Huan Wen, after all, that house is not near Wang Xie's two houses, and from time to time there will be rogue militia intrudes, these days those rogue militia are hungry and crazy, they really rob when they see things, and if they continue like this, they are afraid that they will eat people." ”
Xie Shang nodded lightly, reluctantly ate the food that Yuan Nu was preparing, and went to coax Huan Chong a few more words, but at this time, the child was still worried about Xie An, who had treated him best in the past, and cried for the third brother to help Chong'er take revenge.
Xie An should not know about this matter now, if he knew about it, he might be angry, Xie Shang sighed, and went to Huan Mansion again, Huan Wen knelt in front of the coffin and sharpened his knife.
The sound of sharpening the knife was slow and deep, indicating Huan Wen's state of mind at the moment.
"Han Huang can't be killed now, he is Su Jun's right-hand man, and he has a heavy army."
"The name of the person who betrayed his father is Jiang Bo, and he is the county order of Jing County."
Huan Wen came one by one, and Xie Shang put a cup of wine treasured at his feet at his feet, "It's good for you to calm down now, avenge your father, it's just right, if the court doesn't make decisions for you at that time, let Ahri accompany you." ”
The Jiang family is a southern scholar clan, but I am afraid that after the rebellion, Jiang Bo will take advantage of the situation to get away with it, after all, the Huan family is not a high-ranking family, and now that Huan Yi is dead, Huan Wen has no official title, I am afraid that this matter will not be resolved.
Huan Wen was silent, the first thing about the door, whether it is a scholar or a cold family, there are classes, high doors and low doors, three, six, nine, etc., no wonder Empress Dowager Yu was almost furious when she knew that the eldest princess was interested in him.
Now the Empress Dowager Yu is sick and lying in the harem, if there is no Huan Wen to guard it every day, the militia will take advantage of Su Jun's absence to break into the palace to rob the property, or deduct the living needs assigned by Su Jun to the harem, after Huan Wen and the militia stationed in the city are familiar, the matter of the deduction is gone, these **** have not set foot in Taicheng because of the death of their father, and I don't know how the eldest princess is doing these days.
Without his father, Huan Wen now has nothing, and his mind is only full of revenge.
When Su Jun led the troops to attack Baishilei, Huan Wen went back to Taicheng again, and when she didn't want to see the eldest princess, she didn't have the long whip of the past, but was full of tears. ”
The two people who miss their deceased father have a lot of pain in their hearts, Huan Wen is a man and can't cry, Sima Xingnan endured for many days, and finally took off the veil of stubbornness in front of his sweetheart.
Huan Wen never knew how to coax the girl, remembering what Xie An had done for Wang Xizhi in the past, he simply ran all over Taicheng to pick a basket of peach blossoms for her.
……
In the battle of Baishilei, Su Jun poured all his strength into vowing to take down Baishilei and kill Yu Liang, but he didn't think that Baishilei was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Yu Liang had a lot of help around him, he was not as self-righteous as he was in the past at this time, and he listened to the advice of his staff to join the army in everything.
Su Jun was attacked on three sides at the moment, and Baishilei couldn't take it, so he had to send troops to attack the three bases of Daye, Qu'a, and Yuting in the east of Jiankang, and fell into Tao Kan's plan to divide the troops.
At this time, the war was stalemate, grain and grass was a top priority, Su Jun's army plundered civilians and accumulated a lot, and the righteous army was facing a crisis of food shortage, fortunately, Wen Qiao had a dispatch, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the righteous army, a temporary temple was established outside Jiankang City, and Wen Qiao read out the sacrificial text at the worship ceremony, as Xi Jian swore to kill the white horse, and finally saved the heart of the righteous army, and at the same time reformulated the attack plan, decided not to consume troops on the periphery, and attacked Stone City with heavy troops.
As long as he attacks Stone City on a large scale, he can also relieve the safety of the surrounding places in Jiankang, because Su Jun is bound to transfer troops to save Stone City, once Stone City is broken, Su Jun can no longer stay in Jiankang.
Xie An and Sima Yan are still in Stone City, Xie An is almost impatient, these days because Su Jun does not allow foreign ministers to come to Stone City again, if there is no message from Wang Xizhi, he simply feels that he is not even as good as being in prison, even Sima Yan has been disgusted by him these days, if it weren't for Sima Yan's expensive oil bottle, he would have found a way to escape.
On this day, Su Jun, who had not been seen for a long time, landed in Stone City, Xie An knew that the righteous army had launched a general attack, Tao Kan ordered the naval army to sail to Stone City, and Yu Liang Wenqiao Zhao Yin led 10,000 elite soldiers from Baishilei all the way south, preparing to attack Stone City by land.
Su Jun has sent his son Su Shuo and Su Xiao to lead 8,000 people to fight against Zhao Yin, and he came to Stone City to reward the three armies with wine and meat, and then followed the powerful position of Stone City to sit in the city and watch the battle.
Sima Yan and Xie An had to accompany him, Xie An saw Su Jun drinking a bowl of wine one after another, and said to Sima Yan in a low voice: "I have something to do, you stop it for me." ”
Seeing his solemn expression, Sima Yan hurriedly clenched his fists and nodded.
Xie An quietly left the table, scattered the cold food that had been hidden on his body for a long time into the wine jar, and then personally held it up to drink with Su Jun.
Su Jun took Xie An's wine and asked, "In tonight's battle, do you see if the two of us can win that Zhao Yin?" ”
Xie An drank one first, and said with a smile: "Although I hope that the righteous army wins, it is better for Zhao Yin's stupid man to leave the field early, lest his good luck be ruined by him." ”
Su Jun saw that he was so heroic, and he did not suspect that he was cheating, so he drank Xie An and poured wine several times.
Xie An has never touched the cold food for ten thousand years, and today he has fought hard to have a chance Yin Su Jun.
I saw that on the slope outside the city, Su Shuo, Su Xiao and other generals led dozens of elite generals to gallop down the mountain, rushing Zhao Yin's army through a gap, instantly disrupting Zhao Yin's army formation, and causing Zhao Yin's army to retreat.
Su Jun and Xie An both laughed when they saw it, and Su Jun, who was already cold food and loose medicine, exerted his whole body, and was even more crazy because of this, and his mood was agitated when he saw the victory of the two sons.
Xie An endured the medicinal properties and said with a smile: "It seems that General Su can abdicate and make way for Xian, and the two Lang Jun can already take charge of themselves." ”
Su Jun drank drunkly, "Nonsense, my son can break the thief, you will underestimate General Ben?" Anshi, you look at ...... with your eyes wide open."
Before he could finish his way, Su Jun mounted his war horse, left the city with several personal cavalry, and rushed down the mountain, intending to disperse the Wen Qiao army like his son.
Xie An's face was flushed from the heat dissipated by the cold food, and sure enough, the true medicinal properties are easy to lose normality, Sima Yan wanted to give him water, he shook his head, and took Sima Yan to leave the table in a hurry while he was in chaos, no matter whether Su Jun won or lost, in short, it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time.
The waterway is not feasible, in case it is used as a target by our army, it will be miserable, Xie An put on his and Sima Yan armor, disguised themselves as cavalrymen and fled down the mountain.
Seeing from afar that Su Jun's attack failed and he was surrounded by Wen Qiao's army, Su Jun woke up and wanted to return to Stone City.
Seeing this opportunity, Xie An didn't leave, found a bush to cover, took out a Tong bow, and wanted to aim at Su Jun.
Sima Yan hurriedly said: "The Tong bow is light, Su Jun is so far away, I'm afraid it can't be aimed accurately." ”
Xie An only felt that his exhaled breath was extremely hot, and the hand holding the bow trembled slightly, so he couldn't take this medicine indiscriminately, he was above the hillside, and Su Jun was surrounded by the chaotic army below, and it was difficult to shoot people at this distance, but he had to try it anyway.
After waiting with bated breath for a long time, Xie An, under Sima Yan's urging, finally gritted his teeth and shot an arrow, and the red arrow of the Tong bow secretly and quickly shot into the leg of Su Jun's war horse that was rushing up the slope.
The war horse staggered, and Su Jun, who was already cold food and loose medicine and alcohol, could not control himself, and fell off the horse, and at this moment, the chasing soldiers all around threw spears at Su Jun.
For a while, spears and guns fell like dense rain, and Su Jun was covered in injuries, and he finally didn't know who he was beheaded, and his body was in a different place.
Seeing this scene, Sima Yan trembled with fright, grabbed Xie An's arm and said, "He's dead!" Su Jun is dead! ”
Xie An heard the shouting of the three armies in a daze, and said helplessly: "You hurry up and put that gorgeous dress outside, so that the righteous army will not accidentally hurt us." ”
Seeing that he was still so indifferent, Sima Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Su Jun is dead, you are still so calm, I am a little ashamed." ”
Xie An rolled his eyes, and tried his best to endure and said: "Come on, I want to jump up and shout long live, but unfortunately I can't bear it, this medicine is too heavy, you will have to see me laugh later, by the way, you will have to issue a ban in the future, this cold food is really unbearable, Su Jun is the best end." ”
