Chapter 44 Storytelling Luoyang City
The sky had just brightened, and outside the west gate of Suide City, there were bursts of killing sounds, and She Fujian led his five thousand elite soldiers to attack the city again......
This time, the Xia army suffered heavy losses, 10,000 soldiers and horses were killed by She Fuzhuang's 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 5,000 Xia soldiers and horses that were crushed to death in Liulintan before, the total loss of this army by Li Yan was more than half.
Li moved the Xia soldiers to close the city gate and no longer go out of the city to face the battle...... Most of She Fuzhuang's men and horses were cavalry, and they did not carry a large number of siege equipment, so they could not help Li Yan's army for the time being.
In this way, the stalemate lasted for a day and a night, and Li Yanqian in the city received a message from the flying pigeon, and the general of Wubaozhai Zhenxi was completely defeated by the Eastern Route Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Taiyuan Army.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Hedong Army and the Taiyuan Army came in the direction of Suide...... Li Yiyi is like a frosted eggplant...... He ordered his soldiers to pack up their things overnight, and the next day they withdrew from Suide City and Mizhi City.
In the Yanzhou area, the Xia army was attacked by the 300,000 troops of the commander of the Song State Tongguan, and retreated one after another......
The war in Song and Xia had not yet been extinguished, and the Liaojin storm in the north had resurged, and Yelu Zhangnu rebelled in Liaoshangjing, although this rebellion was quickly quelled, but it split the Liao Dynasty. At the end of August, Gao Yongchang rebelled in Tokyo, the former Bohai Kingdom...... The smoke of gunpowder in the north was quietly rekindled......
…………
Song Luoyang City is bustling and noisy, Luopu Long Street is full of people and traffic, and a chic small building is located here on the left side of the intersection of Luopu Long Street and Luoyang Bridge.
This small building is called Accord, as long as people who have stayed in Luoyang City for a long time, they basically know Accord. The name of the Accord seems to be elegant, like a place where literati flaunt their literary talents, but in fact, it is not, although it is also a teahouse...... But there are many fish and eyes in the Accord, and the three religions and nine streams are mixed in it, and there are not many literati and scholars mixed here.
At this moment, it is noon, and there is a round table on the innermost round platform of 145 square meters on the first floor of the Accord, and a stool is placed next to the table. This man is a storyteller in a teahouse, dressed in a green robe, with a thin face, a focused gaze, and a piece of ringing wood in his hand, telling a story attentively.
There were not many people in the audience listening to the storyteller's story, and in the seats in the distance, some people were chatting and some were trading......
There are fewer and fewer people around the storyteller...... There was a look of anxiety on the storyteller's face...... Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around him, his brows furrowed, his long sleeves waved, and with a snap, the sound wood slapped heavily on the table, and the people in the teahouse were startled and looked at the storyteller on the stage.
The storyteller touched his goatee with his hand...... His eyes were confused for a moment, and he suddenly opened open, shooting out two rays of light......
"The tiger is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat! Ladies and gentlemen, today I will give you a whole dazzling paragraph. Give everyone a refreshment......"
On the tea table in the distance, a middle-aged man with a beard was chatting with a middle-aged man wearing a blue and white wide-sleeved Xia Luo shirt.
"Lao Hu, don't be surprised, if you have any material, make a few paragraphs about the Red Lady's killing of corrupt officials, and make sure everyone listens carefully!"
The corners of the storyteller's mouth curled, he smiled, and a pair of sharp eyes scanned the restaurant, and finally landed on the body of a man in front of him, and burst into a loud drink.
"Good! Since everyone likes to listen to the Red Lady's book, let's take a paragraph! If you feel good, just throw the copper (copper coin) over. ”
Inside the building, everyone upstairs and downstairs stopped talking in an uproar, and all of them stared at the storyteller.
"Lao Hu, do you really have the material?"
The man with a beard and the middle-aged man on the side were startled, and looked up at the storyteller, revealing a solemn expression.
"If you have any information, you won't know it after listening to it........."
The storyteller had a proud expression on his face, and many people upstairs and upstairs stopped moving their hands...... Curiously looking at the storyteller.
"Say! The master of a generation of Jianghu heroines and red ladies has already calculated the fate of the red lady and knows that she has this difficulty, so after the red lady of Luliangshan was plotted, she did not die, but took back to the ethereal island and was no longer born. The heavy responsibility of punishing evil and promoting good falls on the only son of the Red Lady......"
"What? The red lady also has an only child...... How is this possible? ”
There was a commotion among the people in the teahouse.
"Quiet, quiet! Everyone, please listen to the old decay! The red lady does have a son, but she calls a Yi character, and her child name is Xiao Yi. The word card "Wochun" that caught fire in Luoyang City a while ago is from his handwriting, this young man is not only dignified in appearance, brilliant in writing, but also makes a good secret weapon ......"
"What? That heavenly word was actually made by the son of the Red Lady? ”
There was another uproar among the people in the teahouse......
"Brother Li, could it be that the young man you mentioned last time is the son of the Red Lady?"
The scumbag-faced man asked in a low voice to the middle-aged man next to him.
"This ...... That word was indeed done by a young man named She Yi, as for the identity seems to be the illegitimate son of the county lieutenant, how did he become the son of the red lady now? ”
The middle-aged man also slept with a puzzled expression. If there were people from Suide City here, they would definitely recognize that this middle-aged man in a blue and white sweatshirt was none other than Mr. Li Yiming of the Ding Academy in Suide City.
The storyteller slapped the timber, and the commotion fell silent again.
At another table in the southwest corner of the teahouse, sat two people, not very old, about thirty years old, both wearing blue and black arrow sleeve robes, tied their hair, with swords hanging from their waists, and the words "Wangfu" engraved on the scabbard. One of the men had a red mole the size of a grain of rice on his eyebrow, and the other had a scar on his forehead. At first glance, this scar is the scar left by the removal of the inscription on the face of the enlistment.
The two men did not bury their heads in the storyteller, but looked out the window, as if waiting for someone.
"It is said that the red lady is here, after the red lady left, she was sick and recuperated in Suide, a small city on the northwest border. Two months ago, the Western Xia invaded the border, and several cities such as Suide Mizhi Yanzhou were attacked by Xia soldiers one after another, and Mizhi City was even more slaughtered...... At that time, the clouds were thick, the city of Mizhi was broken, and tens of thousands of Western Xia soldiers were at the east gate of Suide City. On the east city gate, the magistrate led 3,000 people to prepare to die together...... At the gate of the West City, the county lord of Wanqi was organizing those old and weak women and children to help them escape this catastrophe...... Everyone knows the Lord of Wanqi, that is, ...... The daughter of the Rong King of Luoyang City, the title of the rivers and lakes is the jade-faced little dragon ......"
"Cut ......"
As soon as the audience heard the awesome title of the jade-faced little Jiaolong, they let out a burst of sighs.
The two men sitting in the southwest corner of the teahouse were startled when they heard the words jade-faced little Jiaolong, with a somewhat surprised expression on their faces, and turned their heads to stare at the storyteller on the table from afar.
"Quiet! Quiet, ahem...... The jade-faced little dragon became a hero this time. In other words, the Xia soldiers were extremely ferocious, in order to take Suide City in a hurry, they directly started a battle to storm the east gate, and the county lord and the local Ding Zhixian led all the people to resist desperately...... Finally gave the women and children some time to escape...... After the city of Suide was breached, the women and children fled to the taxi intersection of Mantangchuan. Unfortunately, the Xia army had premeditated and set up an ambush at the Mantangchuan intersection in order to kill them all, so that these hundreds of women and children fell into their trap. ”
"Lao Hu, talk about the affairs of the red lady, what are you doing with that......?"
The people in the teahouse were dissatisfied when they heard that the storyteller did not tell the story of the red lady and the child, but mentioned the jade-faced little dragon...... Although the jade-faced little Jiaolong is said to be the lord of the county, he is actually the **, scoundrel, and hooligan of Luoyang City...... Most people hid when they saw her. The storyteller said that Zhao Wanqi's great compassion obviously whitewashed her......
"Ahem, it's coming soon...... It is said that more than 500 of those women and children were taken back to the city. With the brutality of the Xia soldiers, what awaits them is naturally either slaughtered or humiliated...... Alas...... It's miserable...... Among these women and children, there is the Taiyuan Mansion San Lang She Fuzhuang's family members who pacified the bandits in Baiyun Mountain. This She had a relationship with the Red Lady back then, and was assigned to Suide City because of this incident...... It just so happened that he had just pacified Jiaxian Village, and when he heard that Suide City had been breached, he led 5,000 soldiers and horses to rush back...... Outside the east gate of Suide City, he confronted the Xia army, and the Xia army threatened She Fustiff and retreated with the 500 women and children. She Fustiff naturally refused, and the leader of the Xia army was ruthless and ordered to shoot the five hundred women and children on the spot. Pity the five hundred orphans and widows, who fled and fled, and could not escape after all...... At this moment when there were thousands of troops, Lang Xiaoyi rode a white horse from the sky and waved his hand, and hundreds of Xia soldiers were killed on the spot............ The Xia army was about to move, and Sun Wei, the military division of the Xia soldiers, who was showing off his martial arts, shot out two cold rays, drew his long sword, and was just about to give an order, Xiao Yi flicked his fingers, and a hidden weapon flew out, and the military division screamed and fell off the horse. The whole battlefield was silent......"
"Good...... Good! ”
"Well done!"
"He deserves to be a good son of the red lady!"
The applause rang out like a tidal wave, and one by one the copper was thrown on the stage...... The two men in the southwest corner of the teahouse glanced at each other and stood up silently......
(ps: Ladies and gentlemen, like it if you think it's good, and vote for a few recommendations...... Thanks)
