Chapter 210: The Three Armies Move to the North (Part II)

PS: There is something called double watch later~

The voice sounded a little abruptly, but the people present were shocked, and then looked out of the door in surprise, the white-haired old man walked in slowly, and when he saw these juniors who were obviously stunned, he couldn't help but smile and said:

"Why, is this Yingzhou City allowed you to come, so the old man was not allowed to come?"

The person who came was dressed in green clothes, and his eyes under the white eyebrows were still as bright as everyone had in their impressions, it was the Jiangnan West Road Prison Division, Raozhou Zhizhou Ye Mengding, but at this time Ye Mengding had a more important official position, Jiangnan West Road Soldiers and Horses Governor Clan, that is to say, even if it is Tianwu Army, as long as it is still under the command of Jiangnan West Road, it is Ye Mengding's subordinate soldiers and horses.

"A certain class participates in Ye Xianggong." Where do a few people dare to hesitate, this is the dignified Jiangnan West Road Soldiers and Horses, and more importantly, this is Ye Yuanjun's father.

It's just that Wang Jin and Zhang Cheng, who have always been familiar with him, hurriedly greeted him after saluting, and Wang Jin said with a hippie smile: "Uncle, why did you work so hard?" The Tianwu Army is not so unpopular that it has not reached this point. ”

Ye Mengding was angry and funny, and stretched out his hand and knocked Wang Jin's head: "Do you think that the old man is here to seize power?" If you don't want to listen to the old man, just roll the old man aside, which always makes people uncomfortable. ”

was scolded by Ye Mengding like this, Wang Jin smiled, and was pulled away by Zhang Cheng on the side. And Deng Guangjian hurriedly stepped forward, saluted Ye Mengding respectfully, and said: "Ye Xianggong is old, I don't know that I came to Yingzhou in person this time, and I am tired of traveling, is it really not at ease that the younger generation and others are not at ease?" ”

Ye Mengding stretched out his hand and stroked his white beard, and did not look up at Yutu, but sat down on the chair on the side, and said with a smile: "The old man has nothing else to do this time, the main thing is to help you town here, who made the old man 'town', there is an old man." Let's see who dares to be presumptuous here! ”

Yang Bao and the others suddenly realized that the old man of the "Emperor Taishang" had come to the town, but I had to say that Ye Mengding was here, even if Wang Lixin came to the door, he couldn't say anything. Whether it is in terms of age, official position or prestige, Wang Lixin is difficult to look up to Ye Mengding. I'm afraid that this bad trick was also made by the king in desperation.

"You say yours, the old man is watching here, if you run away, remember to take the old man with you." Ye Mengding said with a smile.

It's just that no one laughed at this time, and Yang Bao solemnly arched his hand at Ye Mengding: "Ye Xianggong, please rest assured." The Tianwu Army has experienced several bloody battles in eight months, and there has never been a panicked defeat. As long as there is one person in the Tianwu Army, he will protect Ye Xianggong and be thoughtful. ”

Ye Mengding sighed: "No matter what you say, this Xiangyang battle is a good fight, my eldest Song boy, I can't be bullied by the Mongolian Tartars anymore." The old man came here this time, and he also wanted to watch you here, and he was ashamed. ”

"Don't do it." Yang Bao and the others hurriedly said.

Zhang Cheng continued to speak just now: "We can only rely on 20,000 soldiers, but it would be best if the Mongolian Tatars went south to Yingzhou." If we go north to ambush, we can't just sit outside the city and watch, it's best to ・・・・・・"

"Go north." Yang Bao nodded and said, "The best way is for Ah Shu to return to the army, and we will attack his back road." ”

Wang Jin and Deng Guangjian's faces changed, and it was very simple to attack their back road, but this was the back road of attacking an army of 100,000 with 20,000 people! To put it mildly, it is to tickle others, which may not have any effect at all, and may be surrounded by counter-surrounding.

"Did you say when you would go north?" Yang Bao looked at Zhang Cheng with some expectation, Ye Mengding had already come to take charge in person. Ye Yingwu will definitely lead the Tianwu Army north to Yingzhou City in the near future, otherwise Ye Yingwu will definitely not get his elderly father into such a dangerous place.

And it can even be said that Ye Yingwu is already in control of the victory or ready to retreat. Either way, at least you already have a bottom in your heart.

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The news from Xingzhou is still in the morning. No other news has come yet. ”

"In other words, what should we do now, maybe it's too late to ask the envoy?" Yang Bao couldn't help but say softly.

Wang Jin subconsciously looked at Ye Mengding, as Ye Yingwu's father, if Ye Yingwu was not here, such a big action, as long as Ye Mengding nodded and agreed. Even if Ye Yingwu objected, it would have no effect.

It's just that Ye Mengding doesn't seem to want to mix at all, he just closes his eyes there to recuperate, and even gives people the illusion that this old man who was still staring just now has fallen asleep.

fell asleep at such an important time, no one would believe it, after all, they knew Ye Mengding's character, and now Ye Mengding's gesture naturally wanted to show that he did not have any intention of interfering in the internal decisions of the Tianwu Army.

Wang Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly, this pair of sons and sons is rare in the world.

"Send someone to ask the envoy first, if there is no news within an hour, you can't sit still and wait any longer." In terms of identity and status, except for Ye Mengding, Ye Yingwu's senior brother Deng Guang recommended, so he didn't hesitate at all, "In addition, the two hundred hundred battle cavalry brought by a certain person will be deployed to the north as a sentry horse, but there is a disturbance, and they will report it immediately." ”

Deng Guangjian was originally such a character, and he always faced it directly when he shouldn't run away.

Wu Chucai, the deputy commander of the Hundred Battles Capital, was standing under the hall, and when he heard Deng Guangjian's order, he immediately stood up: "The last general will take the order." ”

Looking at Wu Chucai's distant figure, everyone suddenly found that they didn't know when a light snow had fallen outside, and the white snowflakes had fallen on the body of the soldier in front of the hall, but none of the soldiers made a move, still standing upright.

It's like a red flag fluttering not far away.

"It's snowing." Ye Mengding slowly opened his eyes, "Shuo Feng Han, be careful." ”

――――――――――――――

"It's snowing." Ye Yingwu watched the snowflakes fall on the palm of his hand.

The warships slowly sailed away from the dock in the wind and snow, and the Mengchong clippers on both sides went back and forth, using firegrasses to deal with the ice floes floating down the river, in case there were large pieces of ice floes from colliding with the warships.

Yang Xu stretched out his hand to help Ye Yingwu tighten his cloak: "Husband, this trip to the north, the concubines and sisters can't accompany each other, the husband must take care of his body and come back safely, and the sisters are waiting for them in Xingzhou." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "Which time do you think you didn't come back well?" This road is still long, and it is said that it will be white-headed to old age. Whoever defaults is ・・・・・・"

"What's it?" Yang Xu asked subconsciously.

Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and scratched her face: "Of course it's a puppy!" ”

slapped Ye Yingwu hard, Yang Xu didn't bother to care about him, and looked straight at Jiang Tie, who was studying Xuehua seriously: "Commander Jiang, I know you're listening." Listen to so-and-so, if you come back with one less hair, you just wait and see. ”

Jiang Tie was clever and said with a sneer: "Please rest assured, Madame, as long as Lao Jiang is still there." Nothing can make you lose a single hair. ”

"Go, let's go." Yang Xu said impatiently, "There are only the last two building ships left, don't you want to go." ”

Before the words fell, Yang Xu had already turned around and walked towards the war horse behind him, but the tears falling in the wind were like broken pearl bracelets, and they couldn't be covered up no matter how they were. Ye Yingwu felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and immediately laughed loudly:

"Go home and wait, Lao Tzu has a great life and will come back!"

Yang Xu suddenly looked back. Ye Yingwu had already laughed and walked towards the last warship, the rear wing of the Tianwu Army had already crossed the river, and in the end, these were for the hundred battles. And Liu Shiyong, the commander of the Xingzhou Water Division, was already standing on the shore and waiting.

Ye Yingwu nodded at him, and Liu Shiyong said softly: "Envoy, do you want to cross the river?" ”

Looking up at the gloomy and snowy sky, Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "How can you not cross the river?" ”

"I respectfully invite you to board the ship." Liu Shiyong immediately staggered.

A leaf-shaped banner had slowly risen above the flagship before Ye Yingwu, dancing in the wind.

Looking at Ye Yingwu's distant figure, Yang Xu had mixed feelings in her heart, this was the first time she had not gone north side by side with Ye Yingwu, it turned out that they were all by her side. I never knew the taste of lovesickness, but now I have some concern in my heart, and it is difficult to give up. Gradually, Yang Xu could also understand Lu Wanyan's anxiety when they were waiting in the backyard.

Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream. The cruelty of war was shown in front of everyone at the time of separation. Yang Xu sighed softly. Secretly accusing himself of what he was thinking, isn't the husband still there!

Watching several buildings and boats gradually disappear into the fog and snow, Yang Xu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Let's go, go back to the city." ”

Ye Yingwu stood at the bow of the boat, but he kept holding back and didn't look back, although he didn't know if Yang Xu was still there. But he was sure in his heart that she might have been watching, watching the last departing ship. With a gloomy sigh in his heart, Ye Yingwu didn't want to think about anything else, and walked straight into the cabin.

There is light snow outside, and the cabin is not very warm, a huge map is facing the open hatch, Liu Shiyong, the commander of the Xingzhou Naval Division, and Sun Huchen are already standing there quietly, the rear compartment of the Tianwu Army was originally managed by Wen Tianxiang, and the specific training is actually responsible for the following Yu Hou and Dutou, at this time, Ye Yingwu took the rear compartment of the Tianwu Army to the north, and naturally led the rear carriage to command.

In addition to the two generals of the Navy, Wen Tianxiang and Jiang Duo, who was in charge of the transfer of grain and grass soldiers and armor of the Tianwu Army, had already crossed the river first, integrating the queue and grain and grass in the rear compartment.

"The last general will see the envoy." Liu Shiyong and Sun Huchen said aloud at the same time.

Ye Yingwu nodded, these two generals are rare water generals in the Southern Song Dynasty in real history, and they are also the right and left hands that Zhang Shijie relied on the most at the last moment of the heavens, but it is a pity that when the two of them were appreciated by Zhang Shijie and entrusted with important tasks, everything had reached the point of irreparability, which was really suffocating.

"Envoy, the Han River has been frozen, what else does the Xingzhou Sailor do, please ask the envoy to command." Liu Shiyong said a little helplessly, the timing of Ashu's choice is very good, this winter is cold, the Han River is frozen, and the Song Army's water division, which is the most threatening to the Mongolian army, is trapped on the river and difficult to move.

What's more, with the help of the ice, the Mongolian infantry and cavalry attacked each other, and the Yingzhou Naval Division was annihilated, which has become a shame for the Song Army's Naval Division to rush to the snow.

Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the map: "You see, the lower reaches of the river are not completely frozen, and although it is snowing now, it will not last too long, and the southern winter will warm up relatively quickly, so there are a few requirements for the Xingzhou sailors." ”

Liu Shiyong and Sun Huchen both cheered up, originally the Southern Song Dynasty sailors crisscrossed the rivers and walked alone in the world, but now they are just used to transport grain and grass, which makes everyone look a little aggrieved, plus Liu Shiyong and Sun Huchen are both out-and-out main battle factions. Therefore, letting the two of them take care of the logistics and transportation of grain and grass is tantamount to killing them.

"First of all, the grain and grass transportation of the various armies in the north, if something goes wrong, you two will wait for the military law to serve." Ye Yingwu said coldly. Food and grass are the most important thing, and you have to say hello to these two guys who are gearing up and eager to try.

"Please rest assured." Liu Shiyong and Sun Huchen agreed without hesitation.

Ye Yingwu nodded: "Secondly, this time the flying thunder cannon developed by Tongshan must be able to be mastered by the sailors before the end of the battle of Xiangyang." And at least each of them must be configured, and they will personally inspect it when they come back. In addition, there is the daily practice of the sailor, which cannot be omitted. ”

Flying Thunder Cannon? Thinking of the thick things that were carefully transported across the river under a cloth, Liu Shiyong and Sun Huchen glanced at each other and couldn't help but shiver. They have really never seen such a thick firearm, even if it is a projectile of stone bullets, it is enough to deterrent, let alone a "dynamite bag" full of gunpowder.

The envoy is the envoy, although I haven't seen him improve the blade firearms, but as soon as he thinks about it, he is extraordinary.

Although this is not to pull up to fight. But from Ye Yingwu's serious expression, it can be seen that this is definitely not a simple matter, Liu Shiyong hurriedly agreed,

"After that, the warship dock in the Xingzhou Net Lake must be strictly protected, although it is on our own territory, but this time the Tianwu Army has gone north one after another, so it is difficult to prevent whether anyone will make trouble." Ye Yingwu continued with some concern, "Especially when people come from the south to make trouble, this has to be guarded against." ”

Subconsciously shivered. Liu Shiyong and Sun Huchen have a heartfelt helplessness, their own soldiers are fighting in front, and they have to beware of their own people stabbing knives in the back, this feeling of fear is really uncomfortable. If now is not the time to turn his face, Liu Shiyong can't wait to directly take the water master to kill the "Qingjun side" in Qiantang.

Ye Yingwu sighed lightly: "The Tianwu army is going north, and although the remaining soldiers are drawn from all over the country, after all, the troops are thin, and the other new armies have not yet been trained, so there are really only two defense lines left in front of Xingzhou, Dajiang and Tianjiazhen." And the front of the Tianwu Army will also be dispatched according to the situation, so when the entire Xingzhou defense is on the water division, you don't think that you are just transporting grain and grass, it is more likely that the entire Tianwu Army is the last retreat. ”

After a deep glance at Liu Shiyong, Ye Yingwu continued: "In addition, Ye Zhi County, Tongshan County, has also said hello, and the firearms will arrive in time, so you don't need to worry about it, in addition, you have to collect more stones these days, once the Tianwu army is trapped in the north, even if the sailor smashes the ice, he will advance to Xiangyang!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Liu Shiyong and Sun Huchen shouted violently.

There is a long way to go, Ye Yingwu has handed over the back road of the entire Tianwu Army to them, what else do they have to complain about.

――――――――――――――

There is still light snow fluttering in the north and south of the Han River, and it is already heavy snow in Huainan.

Su Liuyi walked up the hill on the soft white snow, and the sky and the earth were already white, and the mighty Zhenhai in the north was like an endless black line. Less than ten miles further is Huaishui, but there is no such thing as the great river that once fought in the vast world.

The last time I came to Huainan, I was still the commander of the four compartments of the Anji Army, but now that the clouds have passed, the Anji Army has almost been wiped out, and the few remaining soldiers have been completely integrated into the Tianwu Army, even including myself, the commander of the four compartments, and now he is not also a person in the Tianwu Army system?

Although it is called the town navy, who in the world does not know that this new army formed by relying on the right wing of the Tianwu Army is actually a copy of the Tianwu Army, and even the in-situ expansion of the right wing of the Tianwu Army. For this reason, the Tianwu Army did not even rebuild the right wing, it was completely a posture of waiting until the number of our own family was enough, and then pulling the town navy back to continue to be the right wing.

"Something?" Zhang Shijie rode to his side, Su Liuyi had mixed feelings about the land in front of him, and he was not familiar with it. As the commander of the two Huai Rivers, he has led the two Huai Shui Divisions to fight on this Huai River.

Huaishui is closer to the north, and the Mongolian sailors here are stronger, and for Zhang Shijie, those fiery years are absolutely unforgettable. Later, I am afraid that only Liu Quanshui had such a feeling when he faced Xiaocheng's climate.

"Can you be careless?" Su Liuyi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's really a revisit." ”

Both of them are actually from the Huai soldiers of Lianghuai, and the sentence "revisiting the old place" does not know how many memories of the green years are contained.

"Okay, okay, we're not old." Zhang Shijie couldn't help but smile and said, "I haven't been confused, you are thirty-five or sixteen, where are there so many old places to revisit and reminisce about the past." Since this time is here, let's have a good fight with the Mongolian Tatars. ”

"Back then, on both sides of the Huaishui River, how many soldiers buried their bones." Su Liuyi sighed lightly, but he didn't intend to continue to sigh, "You can rush to the shore of Huaishui within half an hour, right?" Did the sentinel ride out of the front pass the Huaishui? ”

Zhang Shijie shook his head: "It's not so fast, this snow is getting heavier and heavier, I think although it is only ten miles away, it will have to be rubbed for nearly an hour." After all, coming from the Gaoyou Army, we didn't stop along the way, and the soldiers were exhausted no matter how they were. As for the sentry rider, in this windy and snowy weather, it is estimated that everything will be fine if he can touch the edge of Huaishui. ”

"In other words, what is the situation on the Huaibei Jingangtai side now, it's not clear?" Su Liuyi couldn't help frowning, the wind and snow hit his face, and there was a slight pain on his face.

Zhang Shijie replied helplessly: "The wind and snow are too big, there is no way, don't you see that Xusheng has gone up with six doors, if there is no Xusheng who insists on coming over with six doors to help this time, I'm afraid our sentinels will be even more unbearable." ”

"Isn't this because God doesn't want to start a war?" Su Liu Yi couldn't help but look up at the gloomy sky.

"We are righteous in defending the land and defending the homeland, and we are afraid that it will do something." Zhang Shijie couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued.) )
