A living zodiac woman.

Ye Yingwu took a breath lightly, and looked at the young woman in front of him who was constantly twisting her fingers because she was a little nervous, maybe in the eyes of Huang Daopo, this Ye Yuanjun was always staring at herself, and she didn't feel like a good person.

Although he didn't know what other people were like, Ye Yingwu remembered very well that the first person he knew about the history of the Song and Yuan dynasties was not Wen Tianxiang, who was famous in Chinese textbooks with "Crossing Zero Ding Yang", but the Huang Daopo in front of him.

But fortunately, whether it is unknown in history or famous, Ye Yingwu has been in this era seven hundred years ago for more than eight months, and he can be regarded as seeing a lot, and seeing Huang Daopo at this time can only be said to be slightly curious.

Huang Daopo can't be called Huang Daopo at this time, although Ye Yingwu doesn't know how this title came about, but it should be related to her growing age and the Taoist temple she once lived in, and at this time everyone's title is still the same Huang Xiaoniang.

Huang Xiaoniang is wearing some nondescript Li clothes, but unlike some exposed clothes of the Li people, the skirts have been lengthened, and they are even about to mop the floor, and there is a layer of outer shirt outside, but the strong Li Hainan style on the clothes is still difficult to dissipate.

In other words, half of Ye Yingwu's attention was attracted by clothes, firstly, Ye Yingwu also wanted to see what this clothes made with the most advanced technology of this era were like, and secondly, Ye Yingwu just recalled the situation when he was on vacation on Hainan Island, and recalled the world where he had been away for eight months.

"I don't know what happened when Ye Zhizhou specially sent someone to find the slave family from the Jiyang Army?" Huang Daopo was a little uneasy under Ye Yingwu's blazing gaze, and hurriedly asked.

Ye Yingwu took a closer look at the woman in front of him who was destined to be famous for eternity, maybe Huang Daopo was twenty-four or five years old, but these years of desirelessness and no desire made her look more like a girl in her twenties, Huang Daopo's appearance was not outstanding, and there was no way to compare with Ye Yingwu's wives and concubines in the back house, but there was a faint and chic demeanor. A smile is always accompanied by calmness after going through hardships.

I don't know what this young woman has experienced in her short life, I don't know what prompted her to stand here in the end, and I am not even very interested in the ambiguity between Li Si and Huang Daopo in the Six Doors. Ye Yingwu stood up straight and said awe-inspiringly:

"Don't be surprised, little lady. Let the little lady come, mainly because there are tens of thousands of people fleeing in the north of Xingzhou, but there is not enough winter and summer clothes, so that this winter Tianwu Army has to send out two wings to help the people build houses and open up wasteland, but this is just to solve the urgent need. If that doesn't solve the problem. I'm afraid it means that in the next half a year or a year, the Tianwu Army will have to be pinned down with a considerable number of troops, and the finances of Jiangnan West Road will also suffer a lot of losses. ”

Little Lady Huang bit her lip slightly, looked at Ye Yingwu, and said nothing.

Tapping lightly on the table, Ye Yingwu continued: "And this means that more people may die from the cold this year. Because there is no guarantee of victory in the battle of Xiangyang, nor can there be a guarantee that the refugees from all over Xiangyang and Yingzhou will not go south and arrive here. ”

Ye Yingwu's voice was very flat, if he hadn't listened to it word by word here. I'm afraid no one will think that what he is talking about is the survival of hundreds of thousands of people in the surrounding state capitals.

Huang Xiaoniang, who didn't know how long it had been without ups and downs, was slightly stunned, and then frowned slightly, but Ye Yingwu didn't say anything, but looked at her quietly, with a sense of confidence in her eyes, as if Huang Daopo would definitely stay.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Daopo finally admitted defeat, and said with a wry smile: "Ye Zhizhou's words are serious, there is a slave family." How can you sit idly by, and please rest assured that Ye Zhizhou is. In the battle ahead, my daughter and I can't help, but in the back of the clothes and armor, the slave family still has such a three-point ability. I'm afraid that Ye Zhizhou didn't just want to shelter the people when he let the slave family come. ”

Ye Yingwu smiled a little embarrassedly, this kind of technology that can "be clothed by the world", of course, he will not only use it for civilian use, but also be able to weave winter and summer clothes and battle armor for more soldiers more quickly is his hidden purpose.

It's just that at this time, Huang Daopo said it, so there is nothing to hide.

"Please." Ye Yingwu arched his hand at Huang Daopo.

Huang Daopo pursed her lips and smiled.

――――――――――-

Yingzhou City.

Deng Guangjian looked at the mountain of official documents in front of him. Suddenly there was a big head.

But he had no choice, Ye Yingwu urgently sent him to Yingzhou, mainly to be able to quickly take over and stabilize the nearest fortress south of Xiangyang. Deng Guang was accompanied by two hundred hundred cavalry led by Wu Chucai, and Ye Yingwu sent his own personal guards to protect it, which shows the importance he attaches to Yingzhou.

Moreover, the left wing of the Tianwu Army and the Chinese army also began to move towards Yingzhou City, and arrived in the north and west of the city half an hour ago, and began to set up camp one after another. As for the troops stationed in Ezhou, they naturally did not dare to camp on the plain alone, waiting for the Mongolian infantry to assault, so they also hurriedly followed the Tianwu army and camped in the east of Yingzhou City.

Originally, Fan Tianshun was also responsible for the governor of Yingzhou City, but at this time Fan Tianshun was recuperating, and the city was sentenced to open the city gate when the Mongolian cavalry crossed the Han River, and the whereabouts of this timid guy have not yet been found.

Although Yingzhou was in wartime, the Mongolian infantry cavalry came from the north, but after all, it was also a state capital of the Great Song Dynasty, and it could not be without a chief official for a while. In desperation, Ye Yingwu urgently ordered Deng Guang, the only one who was still somewhat idle, to go north and take over Yingzhou under the cover of the Tianwu Army.

For the Tianwu Army, regardless of whether Yingzhou can still be in the hands of its own people after the war, at least in wartime, Yingzhou is an indispensable front-line base. Supplies such as money, food, armor and so on can be transported from the west road of Jiangnan in a steady stream, without worrying about being stored in the field and raided by the Mongol cavalry at night.

Footsteps sounded, and Deng Guangjian, who just wanted to sit down, hurriedly looked up, and Wang Jin, the commander of the left wing of the Tianwu Army, and Yang Bao, the commander of the Chinese army, came side by side. Deng Guangjian frowned slightly, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly caught up.

Of course, Deng Guangjian greeted him just to put on a shelf, he was Wang Jin's direct senior in Bailuzhou Academy, and he was a genuine senior brother, so even if Deng Guangjian was still an idler in the Tianwu Army who had not yet entered the core, where did Wang Jin dare to let him see the old man.

"Senior brother, don't come unharmed!" Wang Jin smiled and arched his hand. "Hearing that the senior brother is coming, the junior brother also hurried over with Yang Du's command."

Deng Guangjian is not only Wang Jin's senior brother, but also Wen Tianxiang's classmate, Ye Yingwu Ye Yuanjun's official senior brother. Therefore, Yang Bao also did not have the bearing when facing Wang Lixin before, and smiled at Deng Guang very humbly and gave his hand.

"I'm glad I will." Deng Guangjian nodded at Yang Bao, the two of them only had a few faces, Deng Guangjian didn't know much about the commander of the Chinese army, who was the oldest in the Tianwu Army and was born in Ye Yingwu's personal guard, so naturally it was just a simple greeting.

Wang Jin nodded. There is still some chaos in the council hall, especially the piled up official documents and the maps that are being hung in a hurry, which makes people have to sigh that the civil and military style of the Great Song Dynasty Shoucheng is really not very good. There wasn't even a decent map in the state hall on the verge of the Xiangyang frontline, let alone Ye Yingwu's huge wooden map.

"I heard that Wang Xianggong, the pacification envoy of Hunan, is also near Yingzhou, I don't know why I haven't seen him?" Deng Guangjian looked at Wang Jin in some surprise, in this Yingzhou, no matter what, Wang Lixin's official position is the largest, and it stands to reason that he should come over to take over the defense of Yingzhou.

Yang Bao glanced at Wang Jin, and his voice turned cold: "There is no need for Deng Jun to worry about this matter. The Tianwu army and the Ezhou garrison soldiers are not subordinate to each other, maybe Wang Xianggong is also out of a dirty heart, so he did not enter the city, since the envoy has asked me to take over Yingzhou City, I will do my best. ”

Sensing the coldness in Yang Bao's voice, as well as Wang Jin with a smile disappearing next to him, Deng Guangjian chuckled in his heart, he was not a stupid person, and naturally vaguely guessed that I was afraid that the Tianwu Army and the Ezhou garrison soldiers were no longer "free from dirty", but that there had been a lot of friction for a long time. And the final victor is the Tianwu Army, otherwise the Tianwu Army entered the city to take over the defense of Yingzhou, how could the soldiers stationed in Ezhou be encamped in a gloomy manner and not say a word?

Even if Wang Lixin was a big-bellied person, it was impossible for his subordinates to sit back and watch such a Xiongcheng being occupied by the Tianwu Army. It can only show that the Tianwu Army has made the Ezhou garrison soldiers fearful before.

The filthiness of these armies is not what Deng Guangjian is qualified to know now, let alone what he wants to know, and Deng Guangjian reluctantly smiled at the moment: "In that case, it's okay, the two of you are guests, it's not good to stand here after all, please come into the hall to talk about it." ”

The map in the council hall has been arranged. And Zhang Cheng also rushed straight out of the meeting hall at this time, which scared Deng Guangjian and the three of them. However, it seems that they are accustomed to the consistent style of the six doors and Jinyiwei, Wang Jin and Yang Bao can only smile bitterly, with the king as a shield, these guys have always disregarded any military etiquette, but this is good, after all, it does not delay the military situation.

Hurriedly arching his hand at Deng Guangjian, Zhang Cheng didn't look at Wang Jin and Yang Bao, walked straight to Yutu, picked up the teacup on the table and poured it violently, and then panted and said: "Ashu's 150,000 troops have crossed the Han River one after another, and 100,000 cavalry went straight south, approaching Yingzhou, and the other 50,000 soldiers were divided into three routes, and camped in Wanshan, Guanzitan, and Hutou Mountain, and a large number of Mongolian sentinels and horsemen were also found in Anyang Beach outside Fancheng. ”

"One hundred thousand?!" Deng Guangjian shouted out in shock, and he couldn't care about Zhang Cheng just drinking the tea he had prepared for himself, "Ashu's 100,000 army is not going to fight Xiangyang, why do you want to come to Yingzhou, isn't this exposing the back road to Lu An, as long as the general of Xiangyang still has three points of ability, he can be defeated." ”

"Reliable information?" Wang Jin and Yang Bao couldn't help frowning.

Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand and tapped lightly in the north of Yingzhou City: "Jinyiwei's news, when will it be fake, how to do it now, you need to get an idea quickly." ”

"Let the armaments fight first, and then notify the troops stationed in Ezhou." Yang Bao barely stabilized his mind, an army of 100,000 was enough to crush the entire Tianwu Army Zuoxiang and the Chinese Army back and forth four or five times, even if Yingzhou City was here, I am afraid it would not be able to support it for too long, "No matter what Ah Shu plans to do, we must be prepared first." ”

Wang Jin ordered a few heralds to go down to convey the order, and at the same time stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the place that Zhang Cheng mentioned just now on the map: "Ah Shu is really coming to attack Yingzhou this time?" And yet you look at these places. ”

Following the direction of Wang Jin's finger, even Deng Guangjian, who only knew a little military knowledge, couldn't help but speak: "The dangerous places outside the city where Ashu left 50,000 troops to camp include almost all directions of Xiangyang City, not just to prevent the Xiangyang defenders from going south, so once the Xiangyang defenders go out of the city, Ashu doesn't even have the ability to cover the rear. ”

"That's right." Wang Jin sighed lightly, "Although the envoy has defeated Ah Shu several times, he is still emphasizing that Ah Shu is definitely not an easy person to deal with. Especially in the use of soldiers, it is even more cunning and abnormal, and what is even more worrying is that Ah Shu is a little more courageous, and it is not impossible to use the main army of 100,000 as bait. ”

An army of 100,000 is used as bait, so it is definitely not the one who lures the Tianwu army outside Yingzhou City, and the only prey that can tempt the enemy with such a big bait can only be the defenders of Xiangyang. If the defenders of Xiangyang go out of the city to attack the rear flank of Ashu, the prepared Ashu can look back, and it will definitely make the Lu family brothers miserable.

"Is that a judgment?" Deng Guangjian was suddenly stiff, Xiangyang is the top priority of the Tianwu Army, so the situation of the defenders of Xiangyang, even Deng Guangjian knows something, he knows very well that maybe the conservative Lu Wende will not be fooled, but the more radical Lu Wenhuan is very likely to persuade his brother to forcibly send troops.

The last Chinese New Year's Eve sneak attack and the subsequent series of bloody battles surrounding the Yingzhou Water Division were the reason why Lü Wenhuan sent troops.

"The march is arranged, there is no so-called seriousness or not." Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "The only thing that is sure now is that Ah Shu has really mobilized 100,000 troops to go south, and I am afraid that it will appear in front of our eyes within half a day." ”

Wang Jin was silent for a moment and then added: "Or to take the Xiangyang defenders by surprise and then calmly go back." ”

"That is, now I can only pray that Ah Shu really led troops to attack Yingzhou?" Deng Guangjian smiled bitterly in surprise, Ah Shu came to attack Yingzhou without any tricks, but it was the most beneficial to the entire Xiangyang battle situation.

"No, it won't." Yang Bao, who had not spoken, categorically vetoed, "A certain person was in Lianghuai at the beginning, although his status was low, but it was Ah Shu who confronted us across the Huai River at that time, and he also knew Ah Shu, and he would never do such a stupid thing." ”

"Then there's only one worse possibility." Zhang Cheng said softly, "I'm afraid we don't have the ability to save the defenders of Xiangyang now, even if the Tianwu Army goes north now, it is more likely that they will be attacked by the Mongolian infantry cavalry." ”

Wang Jin stretched out his hand and hammered the wall fiercely: "If the defenders of Xiangyang do not leave the city, then Ah Shu can also come to attack Yingzhou openly, once Yingzhou is lost, it will be the heaviest blow to Xiangyang, whether it is in terms of reinforcements or morale." But if the defenders of Xiangyang leave the city, then it is very likely that most of them will not see the dawn of tomorrow. ”

"We can't just rush north, without the protection of Yingzhou City, we are killing ourselves." Yang Bao's voice was very cold, with a kind of calmness of the years. He has come out of countless battlefields, and he also knows the strength of both sides best.

"Ah Shu chose this time, it's really good, the two Huai armies are still on the way forward, and it is difficult for the Tianwu Army to make a big move in the front compartment of Tianjia Town, and the envoy is probably also hesitating to come over with the last Tianwu Army・・・・・・ "Zhang Cheng said softly, "In other words, no one around is unreliable now, even including Wang Lixin and Wang Xianggong, we can only rely on these few people present, only more than 20,000 soldiers on both sides of the Tianwu Army." ”

The sound of footsteps sounded suddenly, followed by a warm laughter: "This sentence is well said, wherever the Tianwu Army goes, it can't rely on others." What is really reliable is always the robe that fights together, and it is the brothers around you and yourself. (To be continued.) )
