The wind is dashing, on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

Zhao Guangyi sent Liu Yu, the general of the navy, and Ding Deyu, the commander of the cavalry, to lead a heavy escort, accompanied by Cao Bin himself, and sent Li Yu and his wife and all the relatives of the Li royal family to Bianliang, and at the same time wrote a handwritten battle report and submitted it to His Majesty the Emperor.

There is a statement in the recital: the Song army crusaded against the Tang State, according to the emperor's decree, when attacking Jinling, it was strictly forbidden to kill innocents indiscriminately, and it was strictly forbidden to commit adultery and plunder, the army entered the city, the military discipline was strict, and the gentry and common people of the Tang State did not commit any crimes in the autumn, the Jiangnan scholars and doctors were all preserved, and none of the wealthy gentry and giants in Jinling plundered, and the warehouses and treasury of the imperial court were all sealed, without losing a penny. The Great Song Dynasty Xiongshi is actually the teacher of the king, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, everywhere he goes, the people of Jiangnan are all respectful, and they are welcomed, which is really the blessing of His Majesty...... At this time, the soldiers were carrying the corpse from the house of Qian Cheng, a scholar of the Qinzheng Palace of the Tang Kingdom, and the scholar Qian was reprimanded a few words because of the chaos when he came to loot, and the family was full of sixty-eight people, regardless of men, women, old and young, and they were all slaughtered.

At the corner of the chicken coop alley, a delicate foot is exposed, and when you walk over, you will find that a young **female corpse is lying on her back in the alley, without even a fig leaf on her body.

Built in the Liang Dynasty period, the towering tower of Jinling Shengyuan Temple with a height of more than ten zhang has collapsed, the remaining smoke is still rising in curling, under the collapsed tower, there are thousands of unjust souls, this is to avoid the war and flee to the nearby people in the pagoda, I thought that the temple was safer, but was lit by the rebels with a torch tower, burned alive in it...... However, Zhao Guangyi's battle report is not a lie, compared to the tragedy of Wang Quanbin's killing and robbery when he captured Chengdu, Jinling is indeed not scorched everywhere, mourning everywhere, with Wang Quanbin, the god of killing, to set off the green flavor, Zhao Guangyi is simply a Buddha of ten thousand families, and he should be rewarded with a little red flower.

Zhao Guangyi's face is now smiling like a cute little red flower, and he watched Li Yu's family board the boat and leave with a smile, and the taste of life and death made him full of ambition and fluttering. Li Yu has been sent to Beijing, and there are very few state capitals in Jiangnan that refuse to plant the Song flag, and when those places are pacified, what kind of grand welcome will he receive when he returns to Kaifeng? At that time, he has climbed to the peak of his military exploits, does the imperial brother dare to risk shaking the country and pass the throne to the prince?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Guangyi rubbed his hands and his blood boiled.

At the bow of the boat, looking back at Jinling City, which was getting farther and farther away, Li Yu couldn't help crying, he held the side of the boat, looked at Jinling from afar, and said in a loud voice: "The old hometown of Jiangnan and Jiangbei has been a dream for thirty years. Wuyuan Palace is now cold, and the Guangling Hall has been desolate. The cloud cage is far away and sorrowful, and the rain returns to the boat with tears. There are three hundred brothers in four, and it is unbearable to sit idly and think about it......" After chanting, he was speechless.

"Your Majesty......"

Xiao Zhouhou walked in front of him gently, lifted the veil curtain, and the pretty face that was more beautiful than flowers and jade was also full of tears, and the husband and wife held hands and were relatively speechless.

The river is long, the boat is long, the heart is also long, this time, quit the temple and leave the country, and can no longer return to the homeland......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Jinling soon opened the city ban, many generals agreed that Jinling has no resistance force, and does not have the ability to resist, return to normal as soon as possible, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, help enhance the prestige of the imperial court, Zhao Guangyi is as good as a stream, and immediately agreed.

Open the city ban, so that the generals can easily transport the wealth and silk children they loot out of the city and send them back to Bianliang for use, Zhao Guangyi knows this, and he will not spoil the good deeds of these generals.

Yang Hao observed for two days and found that many generals escorted the convoy out of Jinling in a big way, and did not receive any questioning, so he informed Li Tingfeng to go on the road. There are a lot of people in their group, more than 20 big cars, more than 100 people, Yang Hao personally escorted, and when he walked on the long street, he happened to meet Cao Han.

Cao Han is a general under Cao Bin, fierce and strong, with a pair of thick eyebrows as if they have been dyed with ink, fierce eyes and wide mouth, and powerful. Yesterday, he had just escorted dozens of big cars out of the city, and he didn't want to see Yang Hao sneakily leaving today.

When Cao Han saw him from afar, he grinned, and when he saw that there were many young girls in Yang Hao's team, and scholars dressed in men's clothes, light and slender, who were clearly young women, he was even more happy, and when he walked in front of Yang Hao, he also picked his big finger at him, and praised him silently, "Good ability, many generals can't rob you!" ”

Yang Hao was a little embarrassed, his face turned red, seeing Cao Han wearing armor, prancing horses and spears, followed by a long line, when the two staggered to greet each other, Yang Hao reined in the horse, smiled and said: "General Cao is hard, is this going to patrol the city?" ”

Cao Han also restrained his mount, and said with a smile: "No, a certain person was ordered by the king of Jin Chitose to go to Jiangzhou." ”

Yang Hao said in surprise: "Jiangzhou? Jiangzhou still refuses to surrender? ”

"yes!"

Cao Han laughed cruelly: "The defenders of Jiangzhou have already learned that Li Yu surrendered the city, but they refused to surrender. Now in the entire 19 states of the Tang Kingdom, there is only this stubborn city left, I really don't know the current affairs, is it not good to say that my Song people's knife is not good? ”

Yang Hao said with some uneasiness: "General Cao, the Tang army will not surrender to the city, it has nothing to do with the people in the city, is it very pitiful, what can they call the shots?" General Cao is famous, just a Jiangzhou city will be able to succeed, but God has the virtue of a good life, and I hope that General Cao can understand the suffering of the people, when the city is broken, show a little forgiveness, that will be a great merit to bless the descendants. ”

Cao Han suddenly laughed and said: "Lord Yang is really a scholar, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. The general's meritorious deeds are won immediately, and it is just a quick sword, Li Yu believes in Buddhism, and his heart is soft, who will bless his children and grandchildren? The way of God and Buddha, I advise Lord Yang not to believe in it. Tu Yi is a crime, Tu Wan is a male, and if he slaughters nine million, he is the male of the male. Even if there are gods and Buddhas in the world, Cao Han's cultivation is also an Asura Dao, how can he be powerful if he doesn't kill? Hahaha, Lord Yang has gained a lot this time, and he is busy sending him back to your mansion, right? Cao didn't bother anymore and said goodbye......"

Cao Han listened to Yang Hao's words, and it was just a joke, but he knew that he was a celebrity around Zhao Guangyi, but he didn't dare to offend, his words were very polite, and after finishing speaking, Cao Han hugged his fist at him on the horse, and led the army.

Yang Hao looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh: "General Cao Bin has sent someone to Zhao Kuangyin to ask for a decree, but I don't know when the holy decree will come. No wonder...... Since the fall of the Later Tang Dynasty, the end of the Song Dynasty, Jinling is not as rich as Suzhou and Hangzhou, until the Ming and Qing dynasties gradually recovered, the looting and destruction everywhere is too serious, things can be regained after the destruction of things, the gentry and merchants have been killed, scared away, and then want to revive how easy it is to talk about ......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Jiangzhou is not heavily guarded, and the guards are not famous, but it is such an isolated and helpless city, independent in the entire south of the Yangtze River, after the surrender of the Tang lord Li Yu, its city still flutters the banner of the word "Tang".

They also knew that they couldn't hold Jiangzhou, but they still stayed here, regardless of life and death, just because they had eaten Tang Guolu for many years, and they had to do their duty as a soldier.

Don't know the current affairs? Yes.

Is it loyal and courageous? Yes.

They are soldiers, and they have the responsibility to defend the land, but if they stick to it at this time, they will bring a death to the people of the land they guard, but who can blame them for anything? Even Yang Hao can't stand in the perspective of outsiders in later generations and accuse them of resisting reunification and committing more crimes. People should always insist on living, and from their point of view, they are upholding loyalty and would rather die than give in. Zhang Xun and Shi Kefa are heroes, and they are also well-deserved heroes, a group of unsung heroes.

On the fourth day after Cao Han left, the news of the destruction of Jiangzhou City had not yet come, and the fast horse of the imperial court had arrived, and the envoy brought Zhao Kuangyin's holy decree, which said that Li Yu had surrendered, and the rest should not be afraid.

Yang Hao was very happy when he heard the news, and hurriedly went to see Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Guangyi saw that Cao Bin was asking the court for instructions from him, and his heart was very unhappy, and when he saw Yang Hao coming, his tone was the same as Cao Bin's, and he was even more dissatisfied in his heart, so he said to Yang Hao: "Cao Han has been going for a few days, and the news of Jiangzhou City is coming soon, and Your Majesty's edict is too late." ”

Yang Hao couldn't look at his face, and said hurriedly: "Chitose, hasn't the news of Cao Han's destruction of the city not yet come?" This edict may not be able to save the people of Jiangzhou. If we receive the holy decree but do not announce it to the siege army, once we increase the number of killings, the official family will not look good, and we will not be able to explain it. ”

Yang Hao stood in the perspective of thinking about him and persuaded politely, Zhao Guangyi was more able to listen, and after thinking about it carefully, since the official family had made an order, it didn't matter if he pushed the boat along the river, so his expression eased down and he muttered: "That...... This king will send someone to Jiangzhou tomorrow to deliver the decree. ”

Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Why bother tomorrow? It's not yet dusk, and if Chitose agrees, Xia Guan is willing to go to Jiangzhou. ”

Zhao Guangyi hesitated slightly, and said: "Okay, then you can go to Jiangzhou to spread the decree, now there are still chaotic soldiers everywhere, and you don't care all the way." ”

Yang Hao was overjoyed, immediately took over the holy decree, led a team of guards, and rushed to Jiangzhou. Yang Hao refused to take a break all the way, but there were many lakes and canals in the south of the Yangtze River, and no matter how fast the horse was, he couldn't run, and when he arrived at Jiangzhou City, it was already too late.

At the foot of Lushan Mountain, Jiangzhou City.

Yang Hao rushed into the broken city gate with the holy decree, only to see that the city was full of fires, ruins everywhere, on the streets and alleys, there were countless corpses, men, women and children were mixed among the corpses of the soldiers, and there was hardly a living person.

The city has been broken, the people have been slaughtered, and at this time, it is the Song army that is looting everywhere that is active in the streets and alleys. The 60,000 soldiers and civilians in Jiangzhou died and were plundered countless gold and silk.

Yang Hao stood on the street in a daze, seeing the countless corpses on the pillow, he didn't dare to trample on the horse's hooves, he jumped off the horse, led the horse and walked on the street in a daze, the bloody slaughter scene gave his soul an incomparably powerful baptism.

Cao Han came in a hurry, and instructed a close confidant general as he went: "The wealth obtained by Jiangzhou needs at least 300 big ships to be transported away, you immediately go to Zhang Luo's boat, transport the things back as soon as possible, and don't leave them here as an eyesore." After going back, he re-sorted and picked some suitable things to distribute to Chitose and the generals. ”

"General, hundreds of big ships, the momentum is too loud, you also know that the imperial envoys of the DPRK and China are all idle and boring, and they are all talkative, in case they know, they will make a few slanderous words in front of the officials......

"Well...... hundreds of boats are indeed a bit eye-catching, and it's not beautiful to let those red-eyed poor scholars chew on the root of their tongues......"

Cao Han stopped and pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up and said: "It's okay, I just passed by that ancient temple, aren't there five hundred iron arhats in the temple, carry them on the boat, put them on the bow of each boat, and say that they are dedicated to the official Arhats, hehe, do they dare to go on the boat to check what I have loaded?" Use this iron Buddha to block the mouths of those poor people, and don't teach them to be noisy. ”

"Yes, yes, the general is really scheming......"

Cao Han raised his head suddenly, and couldn't help but say in surprise and surprise: "Lord Yang, why did you come to Jiangzhou." ”

Yang Hao looked at the countless ruins and corpses everywhere, and asked lightly, "Jiangzhou?" Excuse me, General, where is Jiangzhou? ”

Cao Han laughed: "Lord Yang is not drunk and drunk, and he doesn't know Jiangzhou when he is in Jiangzhou, hahaha, my Lord Yang, you can see clearly, this is Jiangzhou City......"

Yang Hao's hand hung down slightly, and his big sleeves slipped down, covering the roll of yellow silk in his hand, and he looked around; Said gloomily: "Yang didn't see Jiangzhou City, only ...... An Shura field ......"

At the foot of ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Lushan, the galloping horse with several sharp arrows inserted in his body hissed for a long time, and finally exhausted his strength and fell to the ground with a bang, and a little monk in the carriage almost fell off the car, but his body only hit forward, and he immediately rolled and crawled into the carriage, shouting with a cry: "Shuiyue, Shuiyue, how are you?" ”

Shui Yue was dressed in a tie robe, lying dying in the carriage, the front of the moon-white monk's robe had been soaked in blood, and a sharp arrow was inserted in the bud on her chest, and the arrow was half a foot into the flesh.

In the corner of the car, is the corpse of the Baoyue nun of the meditation nunnery, she was avoided diagonally from the back of the neck, straight to the left ribs, the ribs were broken three times, and the internal organs overflowed from the wound, looking shocking.

Bisu is also a blood-stained monk's robe, there is a broken arrow in his left thigh, and a sharp weapon is cut in his right chest.

Jing Shuiyue opened her godless apricot eyes, looking at Bisu's tearful appearance, a gentle smile gently rose at the corner of her mouth, she raised her hand with difficulty, gently wiped away her tears for Bisu, and shook her head slowly, Bisu nodded, stopped the sadness, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Bisu did not go on the road with Cui Dalang and his party, originally wanted to take Jingshuiyue to secretly cross the Yangtze River to Shaohua Mountain after the Song army crossed the river, but after the Song army crossed the river, the first line of Quarry Rock was fighting endlessly because of the battle for the pontoon bridge, and Bisu wanted to take Jingshuiyue to find a boat from somewhere else to cross the river, and as a result, the remnants of Tang General Du Zhen fled to Tucheng and attracted the Song army. At that time, Bisu had just returned to the city, and when he saw the opportunity, he immediately escaped from the south gate with Shui Yue, and only then did he escape.

Seeing that Song Jun did not respect the gods and Buddhas, even the temple was burned, and the monks were killed, but Shui Yue was worried that she would come to the master who was in love with her mother and daughter, and Bisu naturally would not refuse her sweetheart's request, knowing that this time she would throw herself into the battlefield, or she would take her back without hesitation. The two returned to Jinling, and persuaded Baoyue nuns to leave, Baoyue forgot about the nuns in the nunnery, but refused to leave, and the wall was helpless, so she had to be forcibly dragged away, and told the nuns in the nuns what they saw along the way, so that they could flee for their lives, and try to avoid the deep mountain monasteries as much as possible.

At this time, the Song army was rushing to the direction of Jinling, whether it was to the north or west, it was impossible, if it was to the east, it would be farther and farther away from his destination, Bisu had to go all the way to the south, avoiding the Song army's attack route, and turned to Jiangzhou. He originally planned to find a boat here to cross the river, not wanting to get into the dead by mistake, the Jiangzhou guards blocked all the access to land and water, and held the city with the intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Song, and trapped the three of them in the city until Cao Han slaughtered the city, which opened a bloody way in the chaotic army and fled to the foot of Lushan.

"Shuiyue, you don't want to die, you promised me, you want to listen to me recite the scriptures for a lifetime, you want to accompany me, you want to accompany me, I ring the bell, you burn fasting, two more little monks, Shuiyue ......"

Bisu cried tears, Shui Yue raised her hand with difficulty, pointed at her chest, and slowly pointed at Bisu, her blood-stained finger pointed at Bisu's heart, muttered something, there was no sound, she could only see her lips moving, and then, her fingers slowly slid down weakly, and those apologetic, reluctant, and loving eyes looked at him stupidly...... The arm sank, suddenly hung down, and the gentle eyes were closed forever, and the wall mourned, and wailed: "Water Moon ......"

The cry is like the cry of an ape in the mountains, echoing for a long time......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Buddha said: from love to worry, from love to fear, if separated from the lover, worry-free and fearless.

Moko Leaf asks: How can you be separated from your lover?

The Buddha said: There is no self, no one, no beings, no longevity, and the Dharma is like that, that is, the one who is separated from the love.

Mo Ke Flail asked: There are many evil fates in the world, how can we cross them?

The Buddha said: Life is created by oneself, and each other is born from the heart. Everything in the world is incarnated, the mind does not change, everything does not change, the heart does not move, everything does not move.

Moko asked: This is not an easy task.

The Buddha said: Love parting, resentment and hatred, leaving the West and returning to the West, nothing is the same, but it is full of empty eyes and an illusion.

Moko's flail asks: What is it?

The Buddha said: Sitting is also Zen, walking is also Zen, a flower is a world, a leaf is a Bodhi, spring flowers are green, autumn leaves are drifting, infinite like the heart is at ease, and the silent movement is natural.

Bisu came down from the mountain, silently recited the scriptures, walked to the edge of the Yangtze River step by step, and boarded the ordinary northbound passenger boat. The water of the Yangtze River is surging eastward. Bisu is dressed in shabby monk's robes, but the description is solemn, the treasure is solemn, although he is young, he does not dare to underestimate in the eyes of the merchants on the ship, he stands silently in the bow of the ship, with a face of light and dust, few people can see a trace of murder in his eyes.

At this time, Zhao Guangyi, who was full of merits, couldn't wait to rush back to Kaifeng.

Li Yu has been named the right thousand Niu Wei general, Jiajue disobeyed the order of the marquis, Xu Xuan, Zhang Xun and other erudite people, all have official positions, Zhao Kuangyin and people urgently raised 100,000 rice to transport to the south of the Yangtze River to help the displaced people, the Central Plains fertile soil, the splendid rivers and mountains have been held hands, the whole country praises, a celebration.

However, Zhao Kuangyin did not show much joy, it is not easy to fight the country, it is even more difficult to defend the country, it is nothing to destroy the Tang State, Qin Shihuang is unified, how are his military exploits compared to him? But how many generations has the country been passed down? What he wants is to be permanent, but now he has no worries inside and outside?

At this time, he had a more difficult problem in his heart than sweeping the Tang Kingdom, with his great talent and decisiveness, destroying a country was just a matter of fingers, but this problem gave him a headache. The second brother who has made military merits and has been in the limelight for a while has come back, what should he do with this brother?

People have weaknesses, and Zhao Kuangyin is no exception, his biggest weakness is that his face is not thick enough, his heart is not black enough, and he attaches great importance to affection. Knowing that the usurpation and rebellion of the generals with heavy troops is commonplace, once his sworn brothers are full of wings and big tails, they may not rebel, but they did not kill and poke heroes like Han Gaozu and Ming Taizu, and would rather give them wealth and silk people, fat fields and mansions, and spend more time monitoring them to prevent them from making trouble; Knowing that the royal family of the previous dynasty may not be used as a cover for rebellion, once the monarchs of Jinghu, Shu Han, and Tang were rescued, they would be able to raise the banner of rebellion again, but he still gave them all official positions, and he couldn't bear to slaughter them.

He can't bear to clear these outsiders and these obvious threats, how can he bear to hurt his ambitious brother, brotherhood is deep, once Zhao Guangyi was sick and wanted to use wormwood to heal his wounds, Zhao Guangyi couldn't bear the pain, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't bear to see it, grabbed wormwood to ignite, and used his arm to try what technique to use to alleviate some pain, so that his arm was scarred, an emperor, he didn't need to do this drama, he really loved his brother.

However, everyone has selfish intentions, their own sons have grown up, the Central Plains has been unified, between brothers and sons, after all, sons are closer. He knew that his brother coveted the throne of the emperor, but he just wanted to use some tactful methods to dispel his ambitions, not only to dispel his delusions, but not to hurt the feelings between his brothers, but what to do?

"The second brother is about to enter the palace, he is already the king of Jin, and there is no seal, and this military power cannot be taken back from him immediately. Military power and political power, he has a hand, the infiltration of forces is getting more and more powerful, and the internal troubles are worse than the external troubles, what should I do? ”

Zhao Kuangyin, who pointed out the country and looked down on the world, was entangled between the public and private affairs of the family, the country, and the public, and he also fell into a dilemma.

At this time, he rushed back to Kaifeng, and ordered Mu Yu to rush to Yanmen Pass first, according to his plan to create an opportunity for him to envoy Khitan Yang Hao was standing under the imperial steps of the palace and was waiting for Jin to see, because he had just come back from the south, and he was sitting in the warm car all the way, and he was not wearing thick, and he stood under the imperial steps for a while, his feet were a little numb from the cold, he stomped his feet to keep warm, and looked around idlely, suddenly, he stopped under his feet, and suddenly remembered a big event.

His original plan was to fake his death and escape, and escape to the foot of Shaohua Mountain to be a rich man who embraces his wife and beautiful family and enjoys the glory and glory of wealth and glory, and he never thought about returning to Bianliang at all.

Now that ......, I'm back again, what should I do now?

Yang Hao was suddenly a little dumbfounded, he felt like a fool, picked up a big rock, and hit his foot at once. It's just that this big stone is a nephrite jade warm and fragrant little beauty, and it doesn't hurt to hit your feet, but it's good to warm your feet...... "This...... Miao Miao shouldn't know that I faked my death, right? It's just that Flame and Doll need some words. Well, ......, it's ...... to warm your feet, if such a delicate little beauty is used to warm her feet......", Yang Hao stomped his feet again, and suddenly felt that his feet were not only woody, but also itchy......
