Chapter 18: The Tide Strikes the Empty City

The first battle between Yu Liang and Su Jun was a complete defeat, Sima Liu died, Zhao Yin led his troops to flee to the vicinity of Jiankang City, Xie An didn't know what Yu Liang was thinking about these days, and whether he reflected on his mistakes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, Xie Fu was knocked on the door by Yu Yi.

On this day, there was a light snow and sunshine, and although it was pleasant to see, no one would feel at ease at the thought of the traitor wandering around the door of his house.

As the youngest brother of the Yu family, Yu Yi has always been the best calligrapher and the best popularity.

"Are you here for a meal?"

Xie An is spreading egg cakes in the kitchen at the moment, there was no limit to the gentleman's kitchen in the Jin Dynasty, the best ingredients can only be enjoyed by the scholars, and the children of the family can cook is also a specialty.

There was no era of stir-frying, and Xie An didn't think about making a big deal about it, and occasionally went to the kitchen to fry a few side dishes for Wang Xizhi and his family to eat, and if they wanted to promote it, they had to wait until the people's livelihood was stable.

Eating is always a big problem, and today's Jiangnan still has to open up the wasteland for a hundred years to barely have the reputation of being rich in Jiangnan in later generations, compared with the displaced people in the north, people in the south feel happy to eat some coarse grains.

Food is needed more to fight, so Han Huang and Zhang Jian will not continue to pursue after the small victory, and hoard grain and grass to prepare for Su Jun to cross the river, otherwise, Zhao Yin will probably not escape alive.

Yu Yi smelled the omelette and drooled, but the demeanor of the children of the family could not be lost, he pestled at the door of the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Ahri, do you have an opinion on me?" ”

"No, Brother Yi." Xie An sprinkled green onions and said casually.

Yu Yi was as if he had something to say, and he looked like he couldn't open his mouth, Xie An put the egg cake into the food box, took off the apron made by Zhuang's, then washed his hands, and asked him: "Brother Yi is looking for me?" ”

Yu Yi nodded.

Xie An asked again: "It's hard to explain?" So you're wondering how to speak? ”

Yu Yi nodded again.

Xie An picked up the food box and said to him: "But I have an appointment now, why don't you go with me, and when you think about it, you can tell me at any time." ”

So Yu Yi inexplicably followed Xie An to the back door, through a narrow alley, the backyard door of the opposite door was also open, and the bamboo forest in the middle of the road was hung with ice edges, making a small sound in the wind.

Then, Yu Yi saw that in the yard, in front of the entire luxurious glass window, there was a little tiger of the Wang family standing waiting to be fed.

Yu Yi then thought that this was the mansion of the Langya Wang.

It's still the boudoir of a little lady.

Xie An followed up with his own door, without any obstacles, and even Yu Yi was stained.

I have long heard that Wang Dao's treasures are placed in Wang Xizhi's study, although there is no opportunity to watch the post, but it is also good to feel the living environment of the talented.

There was an eight-treasure porridge made in the small kitchen on the table, and Wang Xi didn't eat a mouthful, so he waited for Xie An's egg cake to come and eat it together.

Watching the little couple eat breakfast, Yu Yi felt that he was a little redundant, but his face was as generous as his heart, since the little couple did not express their diswelcome, he also stayed in peace.

Ink trays, piles of books, piles of exercise paper, bad pens, and the smell of ink in the room that hides all the smell of fireworks make people feel that this is out of this world.

It stands to reason that Xie An and Wang Xizhi should have been like fairies, but now that the two are together, they are very worldly and tearing egg cakes with their hands, but it is these two people who make this picture very eye-catching.

"Brother Yi, you're wearing white today."

Eating without saying a word, this will not appear here in the little couple, Wang Xizhi buried his head in eating half full, and finally noticed Yu Yi's dress.

Yu Yi had a feeling that he was finally taken seriously, and said with a smile: "Didn't Ahri make a bet with my eldest brother before?" If the army in front is defeated, the eldest brother wears civilian white...... Now I'm wearing white for my eldest brother, I don't know if you're satisfied? ”

Wang Xizhi smiled and showed the sharp teeth of the tiger, "Ahri, Brother Yi is flattering you, this face is big, you can give him a piece of egg cake to eat." ”

Xie An's voice was extremely soft: "Okay, listen to Ah Su." ”

Yu Yi had goosebumps when he heard it, thinking about Xie An in front of Yu Liang a few days ago, how could he have a trace of softness today?

As a result, Yu Yi drank Wang Xizhi's porridge, ate Xie An's egg cake, and then waited for Xie An to cook milk tea, and then rubbed it off......

So Yu Yi hurried up and said: "Actually, I am going to Stone City to garrison now, and I want to ask Ahri to be my little military advisor." ”

Xie An finally got a hint of interest and asked, "Lord Zhongshu Ling asked Brother Yi to go?" ”

Yu Yi nodded.

Xie An looked at Wang Xizhi, "Ah Su, you say, whether to go or not, I will listen to Ah Suo." ”

Wang Xizhi blew the hot milk tea, took a sip lightly and was still burned, covered his mouth and tilted his head to think, "However, Su Jun will not attack Jiankang from Stone City, what's the use of Ahri going?" ”

Yu Yi was stunned and asked blankly, "Why didn't Su Jun attack from Stone City...... Of course, Wang Dun ...... No, the general also captured Stone City first and then entered the city? ”

Wang Xizhi shook his head lightly, "Stupid, Dunbo's situation back then was different, the layout of Stone City at that time was not as heavy as it is now, and the land route was blocked by Liu Kui's elite soldiers, so it was best to directly hit Stone City." But now, Su Jun has brought troops to Jiankang because of Dunbo's affairs, and he knows the city defense well, he is a fool to fight the stone city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack...... Well, Ahri, I want to eat dumplings tonight, and it just so happens that there is aged vinegar at home. ”

From the battle situation to food, Xie An saw that she was drooling greedily when she thought of meat, and she liked it so much.

Yu Yi was completely dumbfounded, Su Jun would not attack from Stone Town, they didn't think about it, but he deliberately asked if he wanted to know Xie An's answer, but he didn't think that Wang Xizhi said it in a clear way, and for a while people forgot that she was the weird girl with a strange temper and a stupid person.

Langya Wang's is worthy of being Langya Wang's, what kind of pearl is hidden at home.

Yu Yi was a little regretful and a little fortunate at the moment, how good it would be if Sima Yan had such a queen by his side, then Du Yangling was a typical lady, just like his sister Empress Dowager Yu...... It's a pity that Wang Xizhi is a member of the Langya Wang family, once she becomes the queen, they don't want to mix with the Yu family anymore.

At this time, Xie An glanced at him coldly, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and said to Wang Xizhi: "Just call Ah Jing Huzhi and them together, Chong'er is also at my house, and let Garlic bring him with him when the time comes." ”

Forgetting that the little fox is still in front of him, Yu Yi cheered up and stopped thinking nonsense, now the Wang Xie family can be regarded as officially standing in the same team, he Yu Yi did not shy away from asking Xie An for help, and also wanted to ease the relationship between the next family, after all, his brother Yu Liang's recent series of behaviors are really unpopular.

But now Xie An looks like he is all in charge of Wang Xizhi, which is a disguised refusal.

In the end, Wang Xizhi gave him face, and said to Xie An: "You better go to Stone Town with Brother Yi to see the situation, I don't need you to make dumplings today, when you come back, I will wrap it for you to eat, but don't think I don't look good." ”

Xie An chuckled, "Okay, listen to Ah Su." ”

After that, Xie An went home and changed his clothes, explained a few words to his family, and rode the little dragon girl and the white-clothed Langjun Yuyi to Stone City to take office, just taking this opportunity, he also had to figure out the current city defense, although he was not needed to defend against foreign enemies, but he had a bottom in his heart.

"I haven't won the crown yet, so I can't be an official, but I'm just helping Brother Yi to see if there is anything that needs to be filled."

Xie An himself also changed into a white robe, wearing a white coat, with a dustless and dustless temperament, a sword and a bow, Yu Yi's eyes were hot for a while, and he couldn't help but praise: "You are both civil and military at a young age, no wonder Lord Situ has high expectations for you." ”

"Brother Yi, don't praise me, if you continue to praise me, I'll be embarrassed to do it against Lord Zhongshu Ling in the future, you go back and tell him, if he makes a mistake again, I will continue to blame, if he can't even listen to the voice of opposing the accusation, let's return it to Ah Yan, Ah Yan has grown up."

Xie An's words were thorny, he knew that Yu Yi didn't care, and he would listen to it in his heart, as for how many words came to Yu Liang's ears in the end, then another story.

People in high positions tend to be stubborn in their own judgments, whether right or wrong.

However, the price of gambling is the last half of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Now is not the time when the Su Jun Rebellion occurred in history, it was caused by Xie An's illness ten years ago that Ge Hong entered the city, and Song Yi postponed the assassination of the first emperor, thus indirectly delaying the Su Jun Rebellion.

Because the premise of Su Jun's rebellion was that the first emperor died.

Leaving the young lord Sima Yan, the Empress Dowager Yu listened to the government, Yu Liang was in power, Wang Dao was forced to hibernate, and Yu Liang's goal after removing Sima Zong was the most tricky Su Jun.

Su Jun, a homeless marshal who holds heavy troops, garrisons important military defense towns, does not listen to dismissal, and is a poor man.

The portal and the standing line are the reasons why Su Jun is remembered by Yu Liang, and Yu Liang put Wen Qiao in Wuchang to prevent Tao Kan, the westernmost Taishou of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

As a powerful minister, Xie An thought that Yu Liang really wanted to achieve the pinnacle of "king and horse, sharing the world" of the two brothers of the Langya Wang family back then, because at that time, it was Wang Dao who leaned towards the government and the opposition at home, and Wang Dun was the person who held the soldiers and horses of Kyushu outside.

But when it was Yu Liang's turn, the person he wanted to get rid of was not only Su Jun, but also Tao Kan, and finally Director Wang. And if you want to move Wang Dao, you must move Xi Jian.

The tradition of infighting has always been carried out in all dynasties, and Yu Liang, who is good at talking about metaphysics, is no exception.

But now Su Jun has dragged Zu Yue, who is stationed in Shouchun, the northern defense line, into the water, and Shi Zhao has now removed his opponent Liu Zhao, I am afraid that the north will take the opportunity to regenerate the intention of going south.

At that time, it will not be as simple as losing Jiankang City and the Shi clan being humiliated by Su Jun.

Xie An rode all the way and thought all the way, and at the same time silently prayed to the heavens, hoping that he could do his best to change the current predicament.

It is still the stone city of the empty city, it is standing in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the danger is full of dangers, the city defense and ordnance are all in place, as the western defense of Jiankang, it is strong and indestructible.

Sending Yu Yi to Stone City was Yu Liang's first step, and in the face of Su Jun's imminent crossing of the river with Zu You, he also realized that he had to send troops to intercept them before they crossed the river.

Orders were issued one after the other.

Zhong Ya, who was in the imperial history, was appointed as the general of the cavalry and the forward supervising army, and together with the defeated general Zhao Yin, he led the elite naval army west from the Yangtze River, in order to arrive at the Hengjiang ferry in time to stop the coalition army.

Xie An also wanted to see the excitement and see the world, but was stopped by Yu Yi and Zhong Ya.

In Zhong Ya's words: "You kid don't make trouble, really I have no one in the court?" And let you put this kid in danger? It's not too late for you to get up when our people die. ”

Zhong Ya was very open-minded, Xie An listened faintly uneasy, and repeatedly told him to flee if he couldn't fight, and it was important to keep his life, even if Su Jun attacked the city with him, we would let him go back without his life.

Yu Yi laughed at him on the side, "It seems that our San Lang is soft-hearted after all, and the Xie family teaches the children really well." ”

Not to mention that he let his cronies Zhao Yin go into battle, and let Zhong Ya, who is used to being a civilian official, go to the front line, Yu Liang still has no eyesight after all.

"Now I finally know, in fact, your eldest brother is not selfish and wants to harm others at some moments, but he is not the material in power at all, isn't it good to be his elegant and celebrity?"

Xie An complained about his brother in front of Yu Yi all the time, Yu Yi listened to and laughed, he didn't take it to heart at all, and sometimes nodded in agreement.

But it didn't matter how long Xie An was worried about Zhong Ya, the battle report from the front came, when Zhong Ya and Zhao Yin arrived near the Hengjiang ferry, they found that the combined forces of Su Jun and Zu Yue were far larger than their naval army, and the disparity was too great.

Under the trade-off, Zhong Ya and Zhao Yin had to retreat, watching from a distance as the coalition forces crossed the river one after another, and then the coalition forces advanced eastward step by step, and after only one day, they had already come to the Lingkou garrison.

When Xie An heard the news, he simply laughed angrily.

"So, Yu Liang calculated that at least 20,000 coalition troops in front of Liu Sheng that night were nonsense?"

Yu Yi was dumbfounded for a while and couldn't answer.

Xie An said angrily: "At this time, if your eldest brother still asks Wen Qiao to guard the agreement that he is not allowed to cross the Lei Chi to monitor Tao Kan, I am afraid that even if the city is really broken by then, even Tao Kan will not be able to send troops to King Qin!" ”

“…… I can't stay in Stone Town anymore! I think the city must be more chaotic than you think it is. ”

Xie An left the strong fortress and left, Yu Yi thought about it again and again, and decided to enter the palace to persuade the eldest brother, the Yu army's army and the army defending the city are not as large as the number of coalition troops, Jiankang has several routes to attack, even if the coalition army crosses the river, it can find another direction to attack the city, all this still needs to be carefully planned, it is by no means a moment of one person's arbitrariness.

Jiankang City is Xie An's favorite city, he also took a boat that year, and came to this city on such a snowy day, it has the vitality of the newborn, and it is also the Jiankang where the purple gas comes from the east.

But now it is in a panic, ushering in a new day, there is still no good news, Su Jun's coalition army is close to Jiankang.

Yu Liang sent troops to block him many times, but he was still defeated and retreated.

The city sergeants, officials of all sizes, were already preparing to transport their family's belongings out of the city, and the quiet Jiankang City in winter was noisy, and Xie An returned to Wuyi Lane.

Only it's still a little quieter.

Because the Langya Wang clan and the Chen Jun Xie clan have not moved yet.

Xie An stood at the mouth of the alley, looking up at the hazy sky, Wuyi Alley where no birds flew over, Wuyi Alley where no green leaves grew, and the lonely rutted lanes that ran over the snowy lanes were quickly covered with new snow.

The sound of the tide outside the stone city didn't seem to have left his ears, and the wind roared like a ghost through his side, and he stood in a daze for a long time, until Zhu Chang, the guard at the entrance of the alley, came over quietly and said to him softly: "San Lang, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, let's go back to the house, so as not to freeze and get sick." ”

Xie An looked at the door in the distance, and found that his hand holding the reins was frozen, and at the moment he was a little hungry and wanted to eat Wang Xizhi's dumplings, but he still made a decision.

"It's not time to go home yet, I'm going to enter the palace."
