Chapter 331: Championing Ten Thousand Husbands in the Prime of Life (II)

At the beginning of March of the third year of Song Xianchun, the Mongolian army crossed the sea to break Lin'an, and Jia Rudao took Zhao Yu, the official of the dynasty, to present the city, and the Great Song Dynasty, which had been in the country for three hundred years, was declared extinct. With the spread of the Lin'an refugee wave, the news soon spread all over the country.

However, the new war situation that followed still dazzled the officials and people of the world, and it was even difficult to decide their future for a while.

On the third day of the third month of the third year of Xianchun, the city of Lin'an was broken and the Southern Song Dynasty perished.

On the fourth day of the third month of the third year of Xianchun, the Mongolian troops entered Lin'an to conquer Xiaoshan, Fuyang, Yanzhou, Shaoxing and other state capitals, but immediately changed everywhere, first the Mongolian infantry who attacked Qingyuan Mansion was expelled from the city by the local people, Qingyuan Mansion swore allegiance to Ye Yingwu under the leadership of Yang Shouming, and then Jiaxing Mansion, Pingjiang Mansion, Taizhou, Wenzhou and other peripheral prefectures of Lin'an all changed their allegiance to Ye Yingwu, and the banner was changed from the previous red bottom "Song" word to the red bottom "Ye" word.

On the same day, Xuzhou Wen Tianxiang, Caizhou Lu Xiufu, Luzhou Gaoda, Hezhou Zhang Jue, and Zhenjiang Liu Yi took the lead in leading the army under their command to be loyal to Ye Yingwu and uniformly change the flag, and the state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty were also all kinds of loyal performances under the high pressure of the Tianwu military system, like snowflakes flying, as if Ye Yingwu was regarded as the person who inherited the Mandate of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty.

Jiang Wanli, Ye Mengding and the others remained silent about this as always, but no one would doubt what kind of choice these old men who seemed to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty would make at this time.

"Xia Shilin, the former secretary of the Song Dynasty Criminal Department, respectfully played the Ye envoy in Taizhou, and the ministers had a bloody heart to repay the family and the country??????" Ye Yingwu stood at the head of the city, opened a book of chapters casually, read a sentence or two, and then put it down, and picked up another book, "The former Song Dynasty Zuowuwei general, Zhi Yongzhou Ma Kun Qi Ye Xianggong, Qinzhou, Yongzhou, Jingjiang tens of thousands of sons and daughters obeyed the order, but also ordered to go to the soup and fire, Ye Xianggong does not need to worry about the safety of the state capitals on Guangxi Road, Ma Kun is here one day, and he should guard Guangxi for Ye Xianggong for one day." ”

"Interesting, interesting." Ye Yingwu closed the book, put it on the table, and looked at the music that was already piled up like a small mountain, "I didn't expect this group of guys to be quite acquainted, it's only been two days, I'm afraid that more than half of the officials in the Great Song Dynasty have already stood in line." ”

Liang Yanwu stood behind Ye Yingwu and said with a smile: "Make Jun Wen and martial arts, and learn from it, now the Song Dynasty has become ancient, and it is up to the Emperor to clean up the chaos in the world and return peace to the people." I'm afraid everyone can see this clearly. ”

Walking slowly to the gate of Huzhou, Zhao Yunshu subconsciously looked towards the south, and stretched out his hand to pull the cloak on his body, but he didn't know if it was really cold in the city, or because his heart was cold.

Ye Yingwu just glanced at her, and turned to look at Xiao Yangzi beside him: "Where is the Mongolian Tatar striker?" And the town navy has ever passed Pingjiang Mansion? ”

"Qi Yu envoy, the news received half an hour ago, the people of Yanzhou have become chaotic under the leadership of the six gates, the Mongolian Tartars hastily withdrew, the losses are not small, and now they are making every effort to retreat to the defense of the Lin'an area, there is no time to look north, the rear compartment of the town navy is the forerunner, and now it has passed the Pingjiang Mansion, and because the front compartment needs to stay in Jingangtai to deter the Mongolian Tartars, so only the left and right compartments and the Chinese army have withdrawn south one after another with heavy losses at the mouth of the five rivers."

Ye Yingwu frowned, in fact, he didn't expect Zhang Shijie to win the battle of Wuhekou, he just hoped that he could save his troops while letting the Mongolian Tartars not notice the fact that Ye Yingwu had gone south, but now it has become a bloody battle of the Zhen Navy in Wuhekou, crippling the cowardly Xue army, but he is unable to fight again.

"So the only available soldiers are the back compartment?" Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, there are only 10,000 people in the back compartment, and it is not so easy to deal with Zhang Hongfan who is cowering in Lin'an, as for the people in other state capitals, Ye Yingwu really has no intention of counting on them, after all, these untrained ordinary people are more than enough to guard the city, and if they are used to attack, they will really become cannon fodder.

Ye Yingwu did not have the consciousness of letting the people who were loyal to him rush to the front to die.

Xiao Yangzi and Liang Yanwu and others were ashamed and bowed their heads, Xiao Yangzi was Ye Yingwu's personal guard, and he couldn't care about these things, and Liang Yanwu hadn't figured it out when he first arrived, so the two of them could only be ashamed and helpless about Ye Yingwu.

"This Great Song Dynasty has really lost people's hearts," Zhao Yunshu gently flipped through one piece after another, and finally couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "These guys are more loyal than one another." ”

"Song is dead, and they have no choice." Ye Yingwu walked over and said lightly, "These people are already thankful that they didn't set themselves up as kings, and this world can't allow them to see clearly." If the entire Jiangnan has the ability to clean up the mountains and rivers, only the Tianwu Army remains. ”

Zhao Yunshu was silent for a moment, Ye Yingwu chuckled and clapped his hands: "This Great Song Dynasty is dead, people still have to live, and if you don't hurry up and find a way to live, I'm afraid it will be too late." When the old mountains and rivers are cleaned up, they will not be needed to face the sky. ”

Stretching out his hand and gently pulling the cloak, Zhao Yunshu looked at the vast field under the city: "The banner of the prime of life embraces ten thousand people, Ye Yuanjun, it took you a year to get to where you are today." It's been a year of life, who would have thought it. ”

The smile on Ye Yingwu's face gradually converged, and he looked at the wilderness and said in a deep voice: "It is not a person who is working hard and struggling to get to this point. How many good sons and daughters in China have fought hard to get the situation at this time today, and now they are almost at the last step, and they can't live up to the world. At least take this Hongfan down first. ”

The footsteps behind him sounded hurriedly, and the commander of the rear compartment of the town navy Li Fu and Du Yu waited for Yang Ting to come together, and when they saw Ye Yingwu in the city, they respectfully bowed their hands: "The last general has seen the envoy." ”

Ye Yingwu nodded: "How many sons are there in the back compartment now?" ”

After hesitating, Li Fu replied solemnly: "There are still 13,000 warriors in the back compartment, and General Su has always kept the rear compartment in the first battle of King Kongtai, just in case." In addition, the left and right wings also took out 5,000 soldiers to go south, and it is estimated that they will arrive in a few hours, which is already all the men and horses that can be mobilized by the town navy. ”

"Nearly 20,000, but it also has the strength to fight." Ye Yingwu stared at Li Fu cautiously, "Let's go, let's talk about how this battle should be fought." Lin'an can't just be controlled by Zhang Hongfan all the time. This is the first and last battle in Jiangnan, and you have to fight beautifully and with momentum when you say anything! ”

Li Fu and Yang Ting both nodded solemnly, keeping up with Ye Yingwu's pace. And Ye Yingwu remembered something, and turned around and greeted: "Yixuan (Liang Yanwuzi), Shu'er, you also follow and take a look." There are a few things to ask. ”

Liang Yanwu was stunned and hurriedly walked into the city gatehouse, but Zhao Yunshu was silent for a long time, and then sighed softly, so he could only follow in silently.

She could already guess what Ye Yingwu was going to do, presumably the Mongolian Tartars would not have thought that the Song army would appear in that place, the Great Song Dynasty was already dead, and it would not matter anything to point out a path to Ye Yingwu.

"General, you're finally awake!" Seeing Zhang Hongfan slowly open his eyes, the Mongolian commander who was waiting by the bed said in surprise, hearing his voice, several Mongolian generals waiting by the side were all happy and hurriedly rushed over.

Zhang Hongfan's face was a little pale, and his lips kept trembling, but he still supported himself to sit up: "This is in Lin'an?" ”

Several commanders hurriedly nodded, and Zhang Hongfan hummed in a low voice: "Who is in charge of Lin'an now?" ”

"General Qiyu is the general of Zilai Wanhu Mansion to suppress Sui Xianggong and the cavalry commander Wanhu Timur." A Han commander replied cautiously, "Please also rest assured that the general has been controlled by us everywhere around Lin'an, and no trace of the Southern Barbarians has been found yet." ”

"Although Sui Shichang has literary talent, he lacks courage, and Timur is even more happy," Zhang Hongfan sighed softly, the generals of the Han family who could follow him south were all cronies who usually supported him, but there was nothing to avoid, "Lin'an handed it over to them, and it was false." Is it that the Southern Barbarians have already made a move? ”

Several people standing beside Zhang Hongfan showed a depressed look on their faces and didn't say a word. Realizing what was happening, Zhang Hongfan raised his head with difficulty, and his originally weak voice suddenly raised: "Say, what happened to a certain person who fainted for a while!" ”

A thousand-commander who was quite trusted by Zhang Hongfan couldn't hide it, so he could only step forward and whisper: "General, don't be angry first. You slept for a day, during this day, General Timur did not spend more than 10,000 steps to sweep the surrounding state capitals, but successively took Yanzhou, Shaoxing Mansion and other places, and controlled the choke point near Lin'an, but because the people of the southern barbarians in Qingyuan Mansion rose up, General Timur was taken by surprise, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties. ”

Zhang Hongfan stretched out his hand and grabbed the quilt, although they didn't say the number of dead and wounded, but seeing these people shrinking their heads, Zhang Hongfan was able to guess: "Then how many people are there now, how many equipment, grain and grass are there?" ”

"General, now there are 20,000 sons in Lin'an and the surrounding Yanguan, Xiaoshan and other places, but there are not many arrows of all kinds, originally our things were all on the boat, and they were burned clean by the Southern Barbarian Water Division, and then this Ye Yingwu Southern Barbarian was really sinister, and he actually set fire to the place where Lin'an City was stocked with grain, and when our people rushed over, there was not much left??????" Another logistics general, who was apparently in charge of the matter, explained softly to Zhang Hongfan.

Stretching out his hand to ask him not to say anything, Zhang Hongfan sighed softly: "It's a certain will, underestimating the Southern Barbarians, thinking that occupying Lin'an will be able to make the Southern Barbarians fall apart, but who would have thought that it would be a trap carefully arranged by Ye Yingwu." It's someone who harmed these tens of thousands of soldiers. ”

"General, you can't blame yourself, now Lin'an is still waiting for you to take the brothers to kill it."

"General, now the whole of Lin'an is in chaos, the Mongols and our people are burning and looting on the streets, no one can stop it, they all think that the time of death is coming, general, save the brothers!"

"If it weren't for You Xuanfu's bastard who kept saying that Jia Yidao was absolutely trustworthy, why bother today, as long as the general gave an order, his subordinates would definitely cut down a bastard!"

Looking at the quarrelling subordinates, Zhang Hongfan barely squeezed out a smile: "Since it's already messed up like this, don't quarrel here." Lu, a certain will do its best to fight for you, our big Mongolian Erlang, how can you say that defeat is defeated, 20,000 people He Ye Yingwu also has this appetite to be able to eat! ”

Seeing that Zhang Hongfan was calm and calm, and could even laugh out loud, the few people arguing on the side of the bed breathed a sigh of relief. They are Zhang Hongfan's cronies, and they also believe that this General Zhang, as long as Zhang Hongfan still has confidence, he can have a way to live, as long as everyone still has a breath, it is better to follow him and kill vigorously. Let the Southern Barbarians see and understand, Mongolian Erlang is not easy to mess with.

"Help someone up, let a person take a good look at this Lin'an." Zhang Hongfan said softly, "Look at what this Lin'an has been tossed into." ”

Two cronies who were close hurriedly stepped forward to help, and Zhang Hongfan walked to the door step by step. When the door opened, I was greeted by black smoke rising in the wind, and I didn't know where it was burning, or what kind of misery it symbolized underneath.

Zhang Hongfan's hands trembled obviously, but he still walked forward with a firm will. The wind came with a crying voice, right over this Lin'an. In the direction from which the sound came, there was faintly the roar of the Mongolian soldiers and the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, and one could imagine what was happening there.

I don't know when the sky is overcast, there seem to be rain clouds drifting, Zhang Hongfan was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but not look at the sky.

God, God, this time you won't bless so-and-so.

This Lin'an, but is it still the Lin'an of a certain Zhang Hongfan?

But is it still the Lin'an of Mongolia?

——————————————————-

The wind whistled and blew in the open space outside Huzhou.

Ye Yingwu took a deep breath and walked up to the high platform step by step, Liang Yanwu was already standing there respectfully, holding a scroll on the plate in his hand, and when he saw Ye Yingwu coming, Zhengse bowed slightly: "Welcome Ye Yuanjun." ”

The town navy sergeants standing on the high platform and waiting for them were also neatly arched.

Ye Yingwu bowed his head slightly, stretched out his hand to pick up the scroll, and slowly opened it: "In the third year of Song Xianchun, the Mongolian Tartars committed me Lin'an, and it was the night emperor who collapsed, and the mountains and rivers changed color when they saw it, and all parties were in tears. Ye Yingwu, the envoy of the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty and the ambassador of the Yangtze River system, was grief-stricken and indescribable, but although the heavens and the earth were sad, there should also be people who rose up to drive the enemy into Kou and avenge the blood feud of the first emperor. Today's ministers pay tribute to the ancestors and ancestors on this day, and take the two thieves who collude with the foreign invaders as tribute, hoping that the ancestors and the ancestors will bless, and our Huaxia sons will win this battle flag, and they will have to avenge the blood and recover Lin'an! ”

The voice fell slowly, Ye Yingwu glanced at the sky, and then Huo Ran threw the scroll in his hand to the ground: "Jiang Tie, Wu Chucai, listen to a certain order, execute!" ”

Rows and rows of soldiers under the high platform stood solemnly, and the moment Ye Yingwu threw the scroll, they all looked at the two figures on the high platform who had been kneeling there for a long time. Jiang Tie and Wu Chucai heard Ye Yingwu's order, and at the same time raised the ghost head knife in their hands, Jiang Tie playfully glanced at the two people in front of them who were almost frightened by this scene:

"Liuxianggong, Xiao Jia Xianggong, it is an honor to be able to let our brothers and sons serve the two of you on the road, we have a lot of lives, maybe you will not be alone when you cross the Nai He Bridge."

"Ye Yuanjun, Ye Xianggong, you can't kill the villain!" Liu Mengyan came back from a long daze, tears had flowed down his cheeks unconsciously, if it weren't for the two town navy sergeants who quickly held him down, I am afraid that Liu Mengyan would have fallen to the ground.

"Ye Xianggong, you adults have a lot, don't worry about the villain, you can spare the villain's life." Liu Mengyan cried almost with all his might, the two soldiers almost couldn't hold down this desperately struggling civil official, Xiao Yangzi saw this and didn't wait for Ye Yingwu's order to step forward quickly and kick Liu Mengyan to the ground.

The two soldiers snorted at the same time, and straightened him again, leaving Mengyan in pain, looking at the fierce and vicious Xiao Yangzi in front of him, he didn't dare to say more, but kept choking in a low voice.

Ye Yingwu smiled coldly: "Liuxianggong, I knew this was the case, why bother at the beginning, it was you who were linked to the Mongolian Tatars, and it was you who chose to stand on the side of Jia Nidao, and in the end it was decided that there was nothing left for betraying the country and selling, it was still you, a dignified manly husband, since you have made a decision, you can't be allowed to regret it now!" ”

Liu Mengyan finally stopped struggling, and just raised his head to look at Ye Yingwu. (To be continued.) )
