Chapter 137: Breaking the City and Anqing
In the first year of Jingding in the Southern Song Dynasty, Ma Guangzu, the ambassador of the system along the river, in order to prevent the Mongolian army from attacking Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty from the waterway, built a city in the Yin of Yichengdu in Shengtang Bay, which was for Anqing City. The poet Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty once called "Yicheng here", so Anqing is also known as "Yicheng".
Anqing with Wu Chu, the north boundary Qinghuai, the south of the river, in the "Huaifu shield, Jiangjie's key Qu", "the division of the key to the north and south, sitting in the town is to breathe the east and west". Xiang is the country of the four stoppers and the Qu of the five reaches, the upper control of Dongting, Pengli, the lower choke stone city, Jingkou, has always been the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River extremely important military strategic points. It has the reputation of "the throat of the Yangtze River, the first state of Wuchu Frontier".
Hao Ren naturally didn't know that Anqing City had these many allusions, he only knew that the strategic significance of Anqing was very important, and occupying Anqing City would occupy the advantage of geographical advantages.
The family members of the Yayu Que of Anqing Mansion have just come out of the shadow of panic in the broken city of Luzhou, and now they live in Anqing, never thought that within a year, the city was broken by the Red Turban Army, and the courtyard was full of panicked family members, who did not know the reality of the outside world, and it seemed that only in the restlessness could the inner anxiety be relieved.
The little girl who was running with everyone in the yard was inadvertently bumping into Hao Ren!
The little girl was only five or six years old, it was Yu Que's youngest daughter An An, she was scared and trembling when she saw the living, but she was protected by Hao Ren in her arms.
"Hehe, Xiao An'an, Uncle Thirteen has come to see you!" Hao Ren scratched the little girl's nose and smiled.
Xiao An'an heard a familiar voice, and when he looked up, it was not Uncle Thirteen, or who was it?
Xiao An'an is young, so naturally she doesn't know what the dispute between the court and the Red Turban Army is, she only knows that this thirteenth uncle treats her very well, and he is also very close to the thirteenth uncle, the fear on his face is swept away, and he shouts happily to the house: "Mother, don't be afraid, the thirteenth uncle is here to protect us!" ”
Yu Que's wife, Jiang, was thrown out of the house when she heard the news, because she was in a hurry, and her sideburns were messy. She knew who Hao Ren was, he was a Red Turban Army who specifically opposed the imperial court, and the imperial court called the Red Turban Thief.
The last time Jiang was courteous to Hao Ren, when Luzhou broke the city, the family members were not harassed by the Red Turban Army, and Hao Ren escorted the family members from Luzhou all the way to Anqing, and met the bandit on the way, if it wasn't for Hao Ren to rescue, she would have been smashed by the first-class star hammer of the bandit Chang Da.
Now that I have seen my husband's enemy and my benefactor, my mood is very complicated, after all, she is a famous family, quite polite, and a thousand blessings: "I have seen a benefactor!" ”
Hao Ren didn't dare to slack off, put down An An in his arms, and returned the salute with a chest salute: "Guozuo was ordered to break the city, there are many disturbances, please be relieved, the Qingfeng army has strict military discipline, and there will not be a chaotic soldier to disturb." ”
Jiang personally experienced the destruction of the city in Luzhou, knew that the military discipline of Hao Ren's subordinates was strict, and wanted to hate Hao Ren for breaking Anqing City, but he couldn't hate it, and said warmly: "The people of the whole city depend on the general!" ”
"That's nature!" Hao Ren said with a full mouth: "The city here is not yet stable, I will send my guards to guard the mansion with thousands of households, and when the city is stable, my wife and family members will come and go freely!" ”
Jiang only wanted to look behind Hao Ren, his son Yu Dechen was forcibly left behind by Hao Ren, he wanted to see what Yu Dechen looked like now, but she was disappointed, behind Hao Ren, there was no shadow of Yu Dechen at all.
Hao Ren had already understood her psychology from a look from the Jiang family, and comforted: "Dechen is now out of the city, Madame, don't worry, Dechen was left in the rear base by me to engage in major matters for the benefit of the country and the people." ”
Jiang's mood at this time was quite complicated, and he didn't say too much to Hao Ren, frowned slightly, made a blessing to Hao Ren, caged the little girl An An, and went to the backyard.
――――――――
Let's say that Yu Que, who was wounded in more than ten places, was physically exhausted, and fought bloodily, especially the two knives in the thigh, so that he couldn't stand, he saw the only remaining family members Li Er and Zhang San behind him, and ordered: "Go and lead a horse with me, I will get on the horse and kill the thief!" ”
Li Er and Zhang San fell to their knees with an ordinary sound, and cried and complained.
Li Erdao: "The adults are loyal, the villains have the courage to report, when Luzhou broke the city, Hao thief thirteen, with our family in Luzhou to threaten each other, let the two of us break the city, to prevent the adults from dying, now the adults have been injured in many places, if the adults die in battle, I am afraid that our family members will not be protected!" ”
Zhang San said again: "Hao 13 wants me to wait for the adults to be injured and tie up the adults, the villain has 10,000 guts, and he doesn't dare to tie up the adults, Zhang Sanyi has eight people and one death is not a pity, just ask for the adult's life." ”
Hao Ren sent Yu Que's family to Anqing for thousands of miles, in order to press two nails beside Yu Que, and wanted these two people to tie up Yu Que at a critical time, but he never thought that these two people had been frightened stupid by Yu Que's bravery, so they had to kneel down and tell the truth to strive for Yu Que to be moved.
Yu Que was exhausted at this time, as if he was drenched in blood, half of his own, half of his comrades-in-arms, his own life, now tied up with two loyal family members, this life is not his own, looking at the city full of red turban troops, Yu Que is discouraged, he just got on the horse and killed another thirty or fifty people, it would be useless.
"That's it! That's it! Take me to meet that Hao Ren! Yu Que dropped the iron halberd and said in despair.
Li Er led the way, after Zhang San broke off, like a poor man who took the dog's head gold, he really regarded Yu Que as a panacea to save his family, and escorted Yu Que all the way to the mansion.
Hao Ren saw that Yu Que was so seriously injured, and shouted decently: "Quick, quickly pass on the military doctor and treat the old man's injuries!" ”
Yu Que was unmoved, and said righteously: "Yu Que is now standing in front of you, please don't be embarrassed by the family members of my two house slaves!" ”
"That's ...... nature"
Hao Ren faintly felt that Yu Que's tone was wrong, and before he could finish speaking, Yu Que slammed into the wall, unable to pull left and right, Yu Que immediately bled in his head, and fainted heavily.
Hao Ren calculated everything, calculating that Yu Que would either wipe his neck or jump into the river, but he never expected that the two nails planted in advance had already taken Yu Que in front of him, and Yu Que's personality was so strong that he actually hit the wall headlong!
"Find the miracle doctor Hu Qingniu, you must cure me!" Hao Ren will be really anxious.
Yu Que is quite popular in Huainan, if he dies because of Hao Ren's breaking of the city, Hao Ren will inevitably leave a notoriety of 'forcing Zhongliang to die', even if he does more in the future, he will be ridiculed and scolded by many literati in his pen.
When Hu Qingniu was ordered to check the wound with Yu Que, Fu Youde, a Wanhu of the left army, had an arrow hanging on his shoulder, and rushed into the palace with a bloody horse lance: "Governor, the resistance of the Anqing army is really fierce, and now the two or three thousand defeated soldiers have been suppressed in the northwest corner of the city, and the Anqing army has its back to the corner of the city, and it is stubbornly resisting, please give the order of the governor to transfer the artillery on the ship into the city to attack!" ”
"General Fu is injured?" Hao Ren left Yu Que and said with a distressed expression.
"The last general was not injured when he charged, and on the way to report the battle situation, he never wanted the people of Anqing to shoot a dark arrow, what a fucking bad luck!" Fu Youde scolded, obviously, he was quite self-deprecating for this kind of injury.
"General Fu will go to rest first, send the left sentry ranger Qianhu Hu Dahai to rush the ship to transport cannons, surround them, don't attack in a hurry, wait for the governor of Pontus to go!" Hao Ren said.
"No!" Fu Youde was ordered to go down and give the order.
Fu Youde, the dignified left army, actually let the people in Anqing City be injured by secret arrows, and it is really embarrassing for this matter to spread out.
The Qingfeng army has obviously broken the city, and there are still two or three thousand people in the formation who are stubbornly resisting, Hao Ren is the first time he has met it, he knows that this Yu Que, the army is really good, and he can let his soldiers die with him, the famous generals of the ancients, but that's it.
For this kind of stubborn enemy, Hao Ren can completely let the artillery bombard them and hurt the people, Hao Ren can also pull him out and kill him, he can use military coercion to subdue this city, but he can't convince the people of Anqing City.
Hao Ren wants to lead Anqing City as his western barrier, the people are not convinced, Anqing City may not be able to occupy the long, and Anqing City has at least fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses outside Anqing City, if there is another disastrous victory like Hezhou, Hao Ren can be a little unbearable.
