South of Yangzhou City, Guazhou Crossing.

"The building boat crosses the snow melon island at night, and the iron horse is scattered in the autumn wind." Su Liuyi looked at the mighty river behind him, the barren grass in front of him was miserable, and he couldn't help but chant softly.

Zhang Shijie, who slowly walked up behind him, sighed: "It's just that when Lu Fangweng recited this poem, Dasanguan and Guazhoudu were still two dangerous passes in the east and west. ”

Su Liuyi glanced back at him in some surprise, and then smiled lightly: "When did Marquis Yu be so sad, now you and I, as well as tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Zhenhai Navy, are not standing at this Guazhou Ancient Ferry, ready to go north." ”

"It's just a pity that this can't be considered the Northern Expedition." On the other side, Guo Chang kicked the gravel on the river beach, "Sooner or later, one day we will set the Central Plains in the north!" ”

Su Liuyi and Zhang Shijie glanced at each other, and they both saw the burning fighting spirit in each other's eyes. Perhaps in the eyes of most Southern Song Dynasty generals, as long as they could hold half of the mountains and rivers in Huainan or even Jiangnan, they would have been thankful, but now it is different, at least here in the Tianwu Army, it is far from enough to hold this half of the mountains and rivers.

With a slight smile, Zhang Shijie took the lead in reciting aloud: "Guazhou Ferry, just like a city. Flying money to welcome the horse's head. Also learn Yuguan Yuliu. ”

Su Liuyi nodded, obviously in line with his heart, looking back, on the other side of the river, Jinshan, Beigu Mountain, and Jiaoshan were three mountains, guarding Jingkou and looking at Huaiyang. Without hesitation at the moment, Su Liuyi smiled and said: "In front of you, you can directly control Jin Jiao, and you know how to win the southeast." ”

Seeing that Su Liuyi only read two sentences and stopped reading, Guo Chang and Zhang Shun were stunned, Zhang Shun just listened to the excitement, Guo Chang couldn't help frowning and said: "Two generals, why is there still two sentences of this "Qingping Le" but it is not continued?" ”

"I don't know if Xusheng has a good sentence, can he town the whole article?" Zhang Shijie smiled slightly.

Su Liuyi also echoed and looked at Guo Chang.

Guo Chang was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that it was the two of them who tested him, and it could be regarded as providing an opportunity to perform, and after a moment of silence, he smiled heartily. recited aloud: "Accusing Jin Jiao in front of him, he knows that he is better than the southeast. I hope that all the public will be attentive and forget the Central Plains! ”

Suspend the religion and forget the Central Plains! Zhang Shijie and Su Liu Yi were silent when they heard this.

After a long time, Zhang Shijie sighed: "Xu Sheng is good at learning, and he is extraordinary when he speaks." These two sentences have the meaning of the finishing touch. Steep and impressive, unforgettable back then! ”

Guo Chang arched his hand at the two of them, but he didn't say anything, his eyes were deep, and he looked at the distant and vast land of Huainan. Once upon a time, he, the gentleman at that time, stood at the ancient ferry of Guazhou, which had been stormy for thousands of years, to the north, towards the two Huai where many heroes had fallen into the sand.

The last large ferry finally put down all the soldiers, and Xia Song, who had been busy, clapped his hands and walked to the stone platform where several people were:

"A few brothers are chic here, and the younger brother is busy in the back."

Zhang Shijie, who had the best relationship with him, couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiao Song, look at you, this is just for you to help transport the soldiers over." is full of complaints, you must know that there are a few present, except for Commander Zhang who stayed here with the Zhenjiang Mansion Navy Division to assist you, the rest of the tens of thousands of Zhenjiang Navy officers and soldiers all need to go north to fight a bloody battle with the Tartars. ”

Xia Song didn't smile, his face was a little solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "At this time, Huaishui is frozen, and it is a pity that I can't fight side by side with all of you. Let's not care about anything else, the brothers resolutely raised troops to cross the river and went north to Lianghuai. Just such a high righteousness makes the younger brother admire. ”

Zhang Shijie looked at him a little strangely, and only after a moment did he shake his head and sigh: "Xiao Song, when did you become such a mother-in-law." What's more, you didn't run away from the battle, and our brothers didn't die bravely, so why bother to say it so politely and sadly. ”

Su Liuyi also echoed: "Xiao Song, you don't have to worry so much, the people's wishes, even if the Zhenhai Navy is not in Zhenjiang Mansion, this Zhenjiang Mansion will not change." ”

Xia Song nodded: "Your brothers are right. The younger brother wrote it down. Now the whole Huainan Li Anfu and his father are not there, but the younger brother is the biggest, if you don't dislike it, the younger brother prepares a little wine in Yangzhou City, and invites you to enjoy the light. ”

"Ten years of Yangzhou dream, won the Qinglou Bo Xing name." Zhang Shijie laughed softly, "Xiao Song, you are invited, it seems that a few of us are not going?" The scenery of the moonlit night of the 24th Bridge, if you can see it, it is a wish. ”

Thinking that Zhang Shijie was joking, Xia Song teased: "Does the general have other wishes? ”

Zhang Shijie stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Yes, there are other wishes." It is to take in the mountains and rivers of the Northland. ”

Zhang Shijie said heavily, and Xia Song couldn't smile on his face, and after a while, he could only sigh helplessly: "General, there will be a day, don't you believe it?" ”

"I believe it." Zhang Shijie stretched out his hand and patted the stone tablet beside him gently, and the three big red characters of "Guazhoudu" were engraved on the stone tablet, "Since I came to the Great Song Dynasty in the north, I have been believing all the time that there will be a day, as long as we go on like this." ”

Su Liuyi, Guo Chang and others all showed knowing smiles.

Zhang Shijie firmly believes in it, why don't they believe in it.

――――――――――――

Seeing Zhang Cheng with a wicked smile on his face, Wang Jin and Yang Bao couldn't help but sigh softly, this guy really looks polite and looks like a good bully, but at the critical time, he didn't hesitate to give the Ezhou garrison soldiers a moment.

Thirty or forty soldiers stationed in Ezhou were lying on the ground or collapsing on their backs, and everyone seemed to still be breathing, but they were half-dead and sore, and they couldn't move at all. The ones who started must be the only remaining veterans in the Tianwu Army, these soldiers trained by Ye Yingwu and Su Liuyi are not comparable to those recruits who have just received the baptism of war, and only they can make the other party suffer the most without any major problems.

Wang Lixin's face suddenly turned pale, and the rest of the Ezhou garrison commanders and Marquis Yu who followed him looked at Wang Lixin with interest after a short period of fear. If this Wang Xianggong could not give them a reasonable explanation and arrangement, the brothers would not be able to give up so well today.

Wang Jin moved slightly, and Zhang Cheng, who didn't know when he walked out of the camp, stood there with his arms folded with a smile, quietly looking at the tense Tianwu Army and the hundreds of soldiers stationed in Ezhou. There were many more people who gathered one after another after hearing the news, but in order to prevent it from really becoming a group fight between the two armies, the generals on both sides sensibly ordered to press their heads as much as possible.

As for what the scale of "try to be", it is all up to the leaders themselves to understand.

"You kid is ruthless, you know that you can't solve it in words, so you just come out and beat the stick." Wang Jin said softly. The voice was very low, but it was enough for Zhang Cheng next to him to hear it.

Zhang Cheng smiled modestly: "Don't say that, the commander of the royal capital, it's a little ashamed to be there." General Wang should not forget what he is doing here, but he has to say something. The kung fu of your soldiers is still a little short of the six doors and the brocade guard. ”

Wang Jin couldn't help but pout: "If you have the ability to see a real chapter on the battlefield, you won't believe it, you hundreds of people, how big a wave you want to turn out." I have never seen someone as brazen as Zhang Dutong who compares the shortcomings of others with his own strengths. ”

"That's the only way. Only then can you extinguish your ambition and grow the majesty of my family. Zhang Cheng said with a smile, stretched out his hand and pointed to his mouth, "Didn't you say it, we are all descendants of Huaxia Yanhuang, the state of etiquette, what is the matter, you need to solve it with your tongue first, but if you can't solve it with your tongue, it's a fist to speak." ”

"Did Yuanlie say that?" Wang Jin couldn't help but look at Zhang Cheng suspiciously. "As far as I know, even if you are a fool, you have never said it so openly."

Zhang Cheng suddenly glanced at him with disdain: "This is your mistake, what kind of person is the envoy, in our Tianwu Army, in Xingzhou, this acre and three points of land, that is a saint." Can such a discrediting remark be spoken? But if you look at which time he didn't do this, snatching the concubine from Lin'an and the Lu family brothers is like this, and if you don't agree with each other, you can simply solve it with your fists. ”

Wang Jin was stunned, it seemed that this was really the case. At that time, when he was in Lin'an, Ye Yingwu just opened his eyes after being beaten, and he took a group of brothers to make a fuss, drunk on the spring breeze, and flew high and domineering, and Lin'an was shocked for a while. After that, whether it was Cixi fighting Haikou, or in the north and south of Hanshui, there were several bloody battles with the Mongol army. Each time I didn't say that I had to talk to my opponent first.

With lip service alone, you can't defeat your opponent, and you can't save this decadent dynasty. And now the soldiers stationed in Ezhou are not a pillar that has decayed? I don't know if it's supporting the dilapidated house, or if the dilapidated house is barely sustaining it. For such an army, Ye Yingwu used the trick of "fighting" in Zhenjiang Mansion, and stubbornly beat the garrison soldiers in Zhenjiang Mansion into his own "Zhenjiang Navy".

Deal with the Ezhou garrison soldiers carved out of almost a mold. If Ye Yingwu was here, I'm afraid there would be nothing to hesitate about. The number of our Tianwu army is about the same as his, but if you don't know how many levels of elite there are, it is really a good choice to make this army that has been rotten up and down into the elite of your own lineage.

Thinking of this, Wang Jin punched Zhang Cheng with some joy: "I didn't expect that your kid used to be silent, and he was only willing to do anything, but now he has become so many ghost ideas, no matter how you look at it, you can't imagine that your stomach is full of bad water." ”

Zhang Cheng glanced at him with some disgust, and sneered: "What the hell has a lot of ideas, a certain is Zhang Cheng, treat people with sincerity, convince people with virtue, that's all." ”

The corners of Wang Jin's mouth twitched a little, treating people with sincerity and convincing people with virtue・・・・・・ (Author's note: Here I pay tribute to Comrade Gao Chief, a good friend of Brother Lin Sansan, after all, it was also a good memory, don't spray if you don't like it.) ）

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense with you, look, the other side is going to be unable to sit still." Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled and said, "Wang Lixin is really difficult to ride a tiger now, but this person really has seven points of talent, if he can be used by the envoy, he will not be a talent." ”

Wang Jin nodded, Wang Lixin had also heard of it, seven points of talent are definitely worthy of praise for him, and the other three points Zhang Cheng did not say, I am afraid it is bold. Being able to lead an army of 20,000 to the north with a weak scholar is worthy of recognition.

And now, whether it is facing the behemoth Mongol Empire externally, or Jia Nidao, who has been entrenched in the court for many years, internally, such talented and courageous people are needed.

"Xianggong, look at it, the injured are all our people, this is clearly that the Tianwu Army is bullying people too much, and Xianggong must severely punish the murderer." A commander said a little angrily, when he saw that his subordinates were seriously injured at close range, it was difficult for him to maintain the mentality of watching the excitement just now, and said to Wang Lixin in a hurry.

This is not just to express grievances to Wang Lixin. In order to force Wang Lixin, who had been hesitating, to make a decision, it would be great if he could drive away these Tianwu troops who didn't know what to do.

Wang Lixin hesitated for a moment, but after all, he could only stand up with a wry smile and say, "The generals of the Tianwu Army. You and I are both under the command of the official saints, fighting for the red Song flag, and now the two armies are fighting in public, no matter whose fault it is, and no matter what the hidden circumstances are. Both you and I are derelict in our duties, so I think that we should first pull out the heads of these soldiers and the ten generals, and use military law to whip them for not teaching, I don't know how many people think? ”

Yang Bao nodded without hesitation: "Since this is the case, but each has its own military regulations and laws, a certain person thinks that the Tianwu Army should follow the law of the Tianwu Army, and the Ezhou people should follow the law of everyone." Here Tang Yuhou is in the left wing of the Tianwu Army, and Yu Hou has always been responsible for the discipline of soldiers, so Tang Yuhou asked for execution. ”

Tang Zhen was taken aback. Immediately looked sideways, only to see that Wang Jin and Zhang Cheng seemed to have been defeated by Yang Bao, with an expression of disgust and disgust that they didn't know this guy. In desperation, Tang Zhen could only take a step forward: "Returning to the commander of Yang Du, the military regulations and laws of the Tianwu Army clearly stipulate that if a soldier has a dispute because of competing with friendly troops for rewards and seizures, the fault is on his side, and he should be punished with ten sticks with a cane, and the other party should be blamed with ten sticks when he is wrong. ”

Yang Bao nodded with a smile, not waiting for Wang Lixin to notice that there was fraud here. turned to look at Zhang Cheng: "Zhang Dutong was here at the time, I don't know what Zhang Dutong thought was wrong?" ”

Zhang Cheng glared at him fiercely, could only arch his hand, and said loudly: "This time to sow discord." Destroying the friendship between the two armies, the mistake was that the soldiers stationed in Ezhou were seized by our army. The soldiers really couldn't bear it, so they could only be forced to fight back, but everyone was here, and it was clear that it was the soldiers stationed in Ezhou who made the first move. Several soldiers took the lead in adding punches and kicks because a certain soldier did not pay attention to his rude demands and pushes. ”

"You ・・・・・・" Wang Lixin immediately understood what was going on, but unfortunately he just wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Yang Bao.

"Since that's the case, then I can't stand the generals of Ezhou, the firing squad, up!" Yang Bao said coldly and waved his hand violently.

More than a dozen Tianwu soldiers rushed out with water and fire sticks in their hands, and there were even sword and shield hands covering their sides.

Everything shows that this is a long-term plan, from provoking trouble to beating people, the Tianwu Army is like flowing water to play Wang Lixin and the generals of the Ezhou garrison. Even for a moment, Wang Lixin suspected the few ruffians who started at the beginning. It's simply the Tianwu Army itself pretending.

"Who dares?!" Several generals stationed in Ezhou suddenly rushed up, pressing their swords and eyebrows coldly, these days the people of the military army are inevitably too deceitful!

As if this was an order, the camp that was already about to be suppressed was completely boiling, and all the Tianwu Army and the soldiers stationed in Ezhou were looking at each other angrily, and the blades in their hands had the intention of wanting to unsheath at any time.

Yang Bao couldn't help but smile and took a step forward: "Wang Xianggong, how bad it is for you to look at, the generals under your army are too impulsive, if the two sabers are combined, then wouldn't Ah Shu look at the big teeth laughing?" ”

Wang Lixin frowned, went straight to Yang Bao in the wind, and sneered: "It's a little funny for Yang Du to command the envoy to say this, now it is clear that the Tianwu Army wants to continue to poison the brothers under the command of a certain family, and a certain person is their boss, so naturally he can't sit idly by, if Yang Du commander still wants to do something out of the ordinary, don't blame Ezhou and my subordinates for being ruthless." ”

Yang Bao looked at him: "Wang Xianggong, have you thought about it?" If this is the case, I am afraid that the charge of taking the first action will fall on your head, after all, my sons and daughters have walked between the tents shared by these two armies with water and fire sticks, and they have not violated any military regulations. ”

"You're using strong words!" A soldier stationed in Ezhou, Du Yuhou, couldn't help but scold, "If you were protected by a certain group just now, wouldn't your subordinates let you be wanton ****?" ”

Yang Bao smiled undeniably, but looked at Wang Lixin. Now the soldiers of the Tianwu Army and the Ezhou garrison are watching, so it is not the generals who hold the real power who really have the power to decide, but the highest-ranking official in front of him.

"You and I will each take a step back, and the tenth of this capture will go to us and others, and the soldiers will each save their own. In addition, no matter what happens after that, the two armies do not give orders to each other, but only discuss the advance and retreat. Wang Lixin finally said helplessly, dealing with the person in front of him who was not like a general, but more like a ruffian, he was really helpless, and he was suppressed everywhere.

"Wang Xianggong is too polite, but Wang Xianggong is a pacification envoy, so he can only be respectful and obey his fate." Yang Bao smiled at the corner of his mouth. (To be continued.) )
