Chapter 159: Soldiers Coming to the City
At this time, the battle report outside the city also came, and Liu Yu, the king of Qi, and Jin Bing were in one place, a total of 200,000 people, and they had arrived twenty miles outside Kaifeng.
Wan Linggen threw the battle report to his generals, and Yue Fei snorted and said: "Now that there are many soldiers and enough food in Kaifeng City, just 200,000 people want to come in, isn't it too child's play?" ”
Zhang Bofen said: "If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you have ten times more soldiers and horses, you can surround Kaifeng and kill them, and we can consume them to death!" ”
Wan Linggen waved his hand, "It's completely unnecessary, since people are here, it's always rude for us not to go out and say hello." ”
Why did he choose this time to launch an attack, Liu Yu was fully prepared. Since he fell ill ten years ago, the non-aggression pact signed with the Generalissimo of Kaifeng has not been implemented, which made him unable to sleep for a while. But soon he got another piece of news that surprised him, that Shura Marshal Wan Linggen seemed to be in trouble!
Even so, he didn't dare to act rashly, and he endured until today, and the detailed work sent by many parties brought back accurate news, that Generalissimo Wan had been asleep for ten years, and now he has been sent to the Thunder God Tower, and there is no possibility of waking up again.
Liu Yu, who sat in Kaifeng in his dreams countless times, refused to wait any longer, he couldn't wait to ask the gold lord Wan Yan Sheng to ask for a battle, specifically explaining that the folk rumored "Thor" has returned to the west, Kaifeng Mansion is at your fingertips, please send troops to help.
After Yan Sheng dealt with the civil strife and imprisoned several royal generals with bad intentions, the general situation in the country was a little calmer, and he started the idea of the Southern Song Dynasty again. At this time, Liu Yu asked for war, and the two coincided, Wan Yan Sheng immediately agreed, gathered an army of 100,000, and his third son Teng Wang Wan Yan Zongying was in command, and together with the Datong defender Wan Yan Si Room from the east, north, and west at the same time to Kaifeng.
The East Route Army was 50,000 horses led by Liu Yu himself, the North Route Army was 100,000 elite soldiers of Wanyan Zongying, the king of Teng, and the West Route was 50,000 defenders led by Wanyan Simur.
On the seventeenth day of the first month of 1139 A.D., just after the Shangyuan Festival, Liu Yu and the three people of the Jin State arrived in Kaifeng in a murderous manner and set up camp twenty miles away.
They didn't drive straight into Kaifeng City as before, and they still had a lot of concerns. In addition to the Tengwang Wanyan Zongying, whether it is Liu Yu or Wanyan Si Room, there is always a big stone in his heart pressing there, there is a person in Kaifeng City who no one can afford to offend, although it is impossible for him to wake up again, but he has not seen it with his own eyes, and no one dares to be careless. Especially this Wanyan Si Room, there are more thoughts.
Originally, according to Wanyan Zongying's idea, that is, to kill directly under Kaifeng City and take Kaifeng City in one fell swoop, what his uncles can do, he will not be bad at Tengwang. But as soon as he entered the Kaifeng realm, he clearly felt the great change in the sky, not to mention the snow, the direction of Kaifeng City flashed and thundered, and I didn't know what happened.
In this way, his idea of preparing to urge the other two groups to move forward quickly was also dispelled, and the three teams coincidentally chose to camp twenty miles away, with Wanyan Zongying as the main body, and Liu Yu and Wanyan Sishu echoing on the flanks.
In the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion, the laughter and laughter of the past were restored, except for Wang Po's room, which was empty, and everyone else returned to their original rooms.
Wan Linggen stood at the door, looking at the woman who was squatting there and sorting out the books seriously, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Don't you have anything to do?" Li Qingzhao asked without raising his head.
"Sister, I'...... I ...... "Actually, he didn't know what to say."
Li Qing carefully folded a book with scattered threads, blew the dust on it and said, "Do you want to ask me, why did you lie to you?" She stood up suddenly, staring at Wan Linggen with burning eyes, "In my heart, he is long dead, and what is alive is only a corpse. And you, although I slept for ten years, never thought you would be fine. ”
Wan Linggen smiled wryly, "I didn't mean that. ”
Ever since he had woken up, he had had a lot of business in front of him that needed to be dealt with, and he didn't even have much time to sleep, let alone talk to the women, but they didn't come to him as if they had a tacit understanding, which made him feel strange.
Li Qingzhao's big eyes flashed and said, "Then you don't want to stand here with me." By the way, my current room is too small to live in a book, so you can change me to a bigger one. ”
Wan Linggen looked left and right, and it was true, he pointed to the front hall and said, "You move to the front hall, there are more than a dozen houses there, you can use it as you like." ”
Li Qingzhao shook his head, "That's where you handle official business, I can't occupy it, besides, I also have some literary friends on weekdays, so it's too inconvenient to come and go." ”
Wan Linggen didn't listen to her, "I'll ask someone to help you move over." After saying that, he turned around and left, Li Qingzhao shouted, "Hey, wait a minute." ”
Wan Linggen turned around and asked, "Does my sister have any other orders?" ”
Li Qingzhao frowned slightly, and said softly: "The enemy army has arrived outside the city, aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”
Wan Linggen shook his head, "I'm not in a hurry, let those children practice their hands." ”
Li Qingzhao's eyes widened and asked, "Is this going to be a war?" I've got a bunch of books on the way. ”
Wan Linggen said: "Not now, not in ten days. I'm waiting for someone to come. ”
"Who?"
"Prince!"
Outside Kaifeng City, a cavalry of two hundred people rushed forward at a gallop, led by a young man, holding a spear, he was half-lying on horseback, his eyes were blazing, and he was staring ahead.
"Brother Yang, if you rush forward, you will be in front of the battle!" The other person who was walking with him pointed ahead and said, these two people were Yang Zaixing and Yue Lei.
"Yue Lei, let's try to see who rushes close and fast?" Yang Zaixing said excitedly.
Yue Lei shook his head, "No! The last time Xiao Zhen competed with you, he was almost injured by a stray arrow, and his father-in-law punished him for carrying 600 sandbags, but he didn't punish you, so I didn't fall for you. ”
In the blink of an eye, the camp in front of him was already in sight, Yang Zaixing grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "No cowards!" My father-in-law didn't punish me, but my father gave me a hundred lashes, and my butt still hurts. ”
"Then you dare to rush forward?" Yue Lei also grabbed the horse and asked.
Yang Zaixing gritted his teeth and looked at the enemy camp opposite, "If I can capture a member of the enemy and come back, my father-in-law will definitely pass that set of sword techniques to me." Every time I begged him, he said I was too small to use. ”
Yue Lei laughed, "So you still remember this?" Who told your ancestors to pass on marksmanship, not swordsmanship? My father-in-law also thinks about you, didn't he teach you a set of return pistols? ”
Yang Zaixing sighed: "That set of marksmanship is good, but one shot is over, how can there be an interesting knife technique, it can cut a big living person into white bones!" As he spoke, his eyes were full of envy.
The two were talking here, when they suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind them, and when they looked back, they saw Yue Zhen running over, shouting as they ran: "Come back quickly, the prince has arrived!" ”
"Huh? Is the prince back? That's great! The two pulled out their horses and led their men to Kaifeng City.
