Chapter 268: Liang Hongyu crossed the river and moved troops

Han Shizhong sighed and said, "I didn't expect that it would almost be a big mistake, the Jin soldiers would inevitably follow to Jinglong Ridge, so it seems that we must transfer overnight!" ”

Taixu Dao Chang was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "I don't know where General Han is going to march?" ”

Han Shizhong also spit out a cool breath: "Now these seven thousand people have really become the food in the mouths of the Jin soldiers?" ”

Liang Hongyu and Zhu Jing also glanced at each other, and the two of them also realized the strictness of the matter at this time.

Taixu Dao Chang leaned over and said, "After passing the Jinglong Ridge, the north is actually the old ferry port in the past, but unfortunately it has been abandoned for many years!" ”

When Han Shizhong heard this, he stood up and grabbed the hand of the Taixu Daoist and said, "The Daoist means that the Yellow River can be crossed from the old ferry?" ”

Taixu Dao Chang leaned over and said: "As long as the weather is cold, the Yellow River will freeze, and at that time, you can directly cross the river from the old ferry!" "Speaking of this, Daoist Taixu glanced at Han Shizhong, and then said: 'Actually, this year is the ninth month of leap month,

And now that I have unconsciously entered October, I just don't know if the Yellow River is frozen now! “

Han Shizhong suddenly shook his head and said, "No! “

Taixu, Liang Hongyu, and Zhu Jing looked at Han Shizhong together and said, "General, what's wrong!" "We must defend the Crystal Dragon Ridge!" When Han Shizhong said this, he closed his eyes helplessly.

Liang Hongyu, as Han Shizhong's confidante, was stunned at first, and suddenly tacitly perceived the deep meaning of Han Shizhong's words. Liang Hongyu couldn't help but sigh lightly. In the face of the righteousness of the country. Maybe Han Shizhong is the only right choice to do this!

At this time, Zhu Jing leaned over and said, "General, do we still have to stick to Jinglong Ridge at this time, isn't this sacrificing the lives of our brothers in vain?" ”

Han Shizhong glanced at Zhu Jing, he helped Zhu Jing up and said: "Brother Zhu, now the Jin soldiers must be on the way to Jinglong Ridge, once we retreat, we can save our seven thousand brothers, but think about it, once the Jin soldiers have passed Jinglong Ridge." What should I do if I find an old ferry? ”

As soon as Zhu Jing was ordered by Han Shizhong, he directly understood what Han Shizhong meant, and he couldn't let Wanyan Zongbi's army pass through Jinglong Ridge, which would be a big thing for Han Shizhong to do

Zhu Jing was also simple this time, and directly hugged his fists and said: "General, Zhu Jing is willing to follow the general to serve the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Han Shizhong nodded and continued: "Zhu Jing, you immediately arrange for the brothers to fortify the dangerous part of Jinglong Ridge, and instruct the brothers to cut down all the trees in some places on the ridge and make them into rolling logs immediately!" ”

Han Shizhong's command. Zhu Jing did not hesitate and immediately turned around and left.

Han Shizhong turned to Liang Hongyu at this time and said, "Now we have two paths to choose!" ”

Liang Hongyu looked at the solemn look on Han Shizhong's face, and couldn't help but grab Han Shizhong's right hand and said, "Husband." Say it! ”

"Seven thousand soldiers and horses, it won't last long!" Han Shizhong sighed bitterly and said, "I think I can hold on for three days at most!" ”

Liang Hongyu looked at the heavy expression on Han Shizhong's face, and knew that Han Shizhong was not very optimistic about the battle of Jinglongling, but because of the preservation of the old ferry, Han Shizhong had no reason to choose to leave, this is the responsibility of a true patriotic soldier!

The husband must be responsible, sometimes he knows that he may face death, but we must also face it strongly!

"So we have to take two roads, the first is to have someone cross the Yellow River overnight, and inform the defenders on the opposite side that there is still an old ferry port that can be used here, albeit abandoned!"

Han Shizhong said this, glanced at Liang Hongyu and said, "I want to trouble Mrs. to cross the Yellow River to find the defenders guarding the river!" ”

Liang Hongyu didn't distinguish it, but looked at Han Shizhong quietly and said, "Second? ”

"Beijing Daimyo's Mansion!" Han Shizhong sighed and said: ", Beijing Daimyo Mansion stayed, Du Chong, a privy councillor, has not made any movement until now, I really don't know what he thinks, the Daimyo Mansion is not very far from us, in fact, once the Jin soldiers cross the river and encounter obstacles, they can go east to take the Daimyo Mansion, after all, the Daimyo Mansion is the Beijing of my Great Song Dynasty, one of the four capitals!" ”

Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion, Xijing Luoyang Mansion, Beijing Daimyo Mansion, Nanjing Yingtian Mansion are the four capitals of the Great Song Dynasty at that time. So Han Shizhong's words unconsciously indignant Du Chong!

Taixu suddenly interjected at this time: "General Han doesn't know, today we have a handwritten letter from Lord Zhang Suo, which states that the Holy Lord has appointed Zhang Shuye, the prefect of Dengzhou, as the deputy generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses to be responsible for defending the Eastern Route Army of the Dajin Kingdom, and Lord Zhang Suo called on the Hebei heroes to form a rebel army to Linhe to resist Jin!" ”

Han Shizhong's face was overjoyed, and he said to Taixu Dao: "The letter is there, can I take a look!" “

Taixu also knew that time was tight at this time, so he didn't say much and went back to the room to retrieve Zhang Suo's letter, and handed it to Han Shizhong for a look, after Han Shizhong read the letter, he nodded and said: "In this way, the emperor is really determined to compete with the Jin people to the end, and the old handsome master Dao actually became the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses with a serious illness, and the emperor is a daughter to buy horse bones!" “

Taixu Daoist nodded and said: "The emperor's meaning is very simple, he just wants to use this way to sue the world's heroes, and the failure of the Dao to rescue Taiyuan, but the emperor not only does not blame, but on the contrary, he is still entrusted with a heavy task, so it can be seen that the emperor's determination to fight against the Jurchen Tartars!" “

Han Shizhong nodded and said: "In this way, there is no need to go to the Daimyo Mansion, I believe that Marshal Zhang will definitely dispatch Du Chong's army, after all, as Beijing, the army of the Daimyo Mansion may not be less than 20,000 Praetorian Guards!" “

Liang Hongyu said with some disdain: "If the Eastern Army uses it, I'm afraid it won't be able to call the Seed Master Dao, and these Western Army are now guarding!" “

Han Shizhong didn't refute Liang Hongyu's words, but said to Liang Hongyu: "You set off immediately, let the Taixu Daoist accompany you across the Yellow River to find Marshal Zhang Shuye, explain the battle here, and see if you can dispatch the army of the Daimyo Mansion to save me Jinglongling!" “

Liang Hongyu shook her head at this time and said, "You are now injured in your left arm, how can I leave you here?" “

Han Shizhong said angrily: "Red Jade. How did you make a mistake at this time. If you don't go now. Once the golden soldiers rush up, it's too late to leave! ”

When Han Shizhong said this, he glanced at Liang Hongyu and said: "As long as you can cross the Yellow River tonight and see Uncle Zhang, it will be a victory, at least Uncle Zhang will be prepared, and if Uncle Zhang can dispatch the army of Du Chong's Daimyo's Mansion, it will undoubtedly be the greatest salvation for our army!" “

Liang Hongyu suddenly understood the heaviness of her task. She said in a somewhat weeping voice, "Is there no other way?" “

Han Shizhong shook his head and said, "If I am not wrong, Wei County must have been captured by the powerful Jin soldiers, and at this time, Wanyan Zongwang must be calculating how to cross the river, so Zhang Shuye must be on the opposite side to prevent the Jin soldiers from Wei County from crossing the river, how can he not prevent such a force of Jin soldiers from this place at the old ferry, once the preparation is insufficient, the entire defense line will be destroyed!" “

Liang Hongyu sighed and said, "Don't say any more, I'll cross the river immediately!" Saying that, Liang Hongyu actually ignored the presence of the Taixu Dao Chief. Directly threw himself into Han Shizhong's arms and said, "Liangchen, you must hold on. I'll bring the Eastern Army to your rescue! “

Taixu Daoist looked at Liang Hongyu snuggled in Han Shizhong's arms, and couldn't help but sigh and walked out of Han Shizhong's guest room.

In fact, the Taixu Dao Commander understands Han Shizhong's current situation very well, if Han Shizhong leaves Jinglong Ridge with seven thousand soldiers and horses at this time, he can directly cross the river, but in that case, once Yan Zongbi's army comes up, he will directly pursue Han Shizhong, and it is really unknown whether Han Shizhong's seven thousand men and horses can hold the old ferry!

Han Shizhong didn't dare to take this risk, compared with the survival of the 7,000 men and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, which is more important, Han Shizhong, as a main general, is naturally very clear, so he can only make this decision to defend Jinglong Ridge.

Han Shizhong pushed away Liang Hongyu in his arms and said: "Lady, the good minister has your red face with you in this life, what are you afraid of death?" “

As Han Shizhong spoke, he glanced back at Liang Hongyu and said, "Remember, you must sue Marshal Zhang, the army of the Daimyo Mansion must be dispatched, and as soon as Du Chong's army moves, we are fully capable of devouring Yan Zongbi's army!" “

When Han Shizhong said this, he walked straight out of the guest room, at this moment, the Song soldiers who were originally resting in the Taoist temple had already been dispatched by Zhu Jing to prepare for the battle, Zhu Jing had already told Han Shizhong's original words to every sergeant, and the soldiers understood the meaning of defending Jinglongling, because there was the record of the Shilipo Battle there, and the soldiers now trusted Han Shizhong very much, so they naturally prepared desperately, waiting for the arrival of the golden soldiers!

Han Shizhong saw the Taixu Daoist standing outside the guest room, and couldn't help but lean over and say, "Dao Chief, I can only trouble you to take the clumsy Jing to Linhe to report the news!" “

Taixu clasped his palms together and said: "General, serving the country and the people is what Taoists should do, please rest assured, general!" ”

Han Shizhong summoned more than a dozen personal soldiers and instructed them to defend Liang Hongyu and Taixu to cross the river!

After Han Shizhong finished arranging this qiē, he strode to the front of Jinglong Ridge, this Jinglong Ridge is on the high ground, and Qingfeng View is in the highest place of Jinglong Ridge, and once the Jin soldiers want to attack Jinglong Ridge, they must take the mountain road in front of Qingfeng Ridge!

Zhu Jing naturally understood this, he arranged for 4,000 infantry to lurk on both sides of the mountain road, extinguished the torches and just quietly lurked on both sides of the mountain road and waited for the arrival of the golden soldiers!

Han Shizhong walked out of Qingfeng Temple, and naturally looked at Zhu Jing's arrangement in his eyes, Han Shizhong called Zhu Jing and said to Zhu Jing: "Pile up the wood that has been cut down in front of Qingfeng Temple!" ”

Without hesitation, Zhu Jing commanded the sergeants to carry the round pine trees directly to the gate of Qingfeng Temple, and directly built a wooden wall at the gate of Qingfeng Temple again!

Han Shizhong felt the chill of the cold wind, and he really wanted to look back to see if Liang Hongyu, whom he loved deeply, had set off, but reason told Han Shizhong that he didn't have much time left!

The strong Jurchen Tartars will not leave much time for themselves, thinking of this, Han Shizhong instructed Zhu Jing: "Tan Ma Ke has reported, is there any news of the Jurchen Tartars?" ”

Zhu Jing shook his head and said, "Maybe we are too worried, and we haven't received a return from Tanma until now!" ”

Han Shizhong shook his head and said: "No, there must be something wrong there, in this way, you send a few more people to set up dark posts along the way on foot, and we will know if there is any movement within five miles!" ”

Zhu Jing nodded and immediately arranged it! Han Shizhong sighed, and at this time, he saw a little Taoist running out of Qingfeng Temple, he ran to Han Shizhong and whispered: "General, Madame and others have already set off, Madame asked the Taoist to give a message to the general, she will definitely return to Jinglongling before dark tomorrow!" “

Han Shizhong nodded and said, "I know!" “

Han Shizhong didn't look back, his mind remembered his hair-tied wife Bai and his confidante Liang Hongyu, Han Shizhong couldn't help but sigh secretly, he suddenly felt that the weight of Liang Hongyu in his heart was getting heavier and heavier!

Han Shizhong knew that when he made up his mind to use Jinglong Ridge as a natural barrier to block the attack of Wanyan Zongbi's army, on the bank of the Yellow River outside Jiyuan City, Yue Fei was wearing the clothes of a golden soldier and looked coldly at the domineering Wanyan Zonghan arranging to cross the river!

Yue Fei and the more than 20 people were wearing golden soldier clothes and hiding in Wanyan Zonghan's guard captain, but no one suspected them, and it was also because Wanyan Zonghan was harsh on the soldiers, he did not allow the soldiers to whisper, which can be said to have indirectly helped Yue Fei and the others to hide!

Although Wanyan Zonghan was a little unhappy because of the accidental assassination of Zather, Wanyan Zonghan did not want to stop anything because of the murder of his own guard chief, and when he arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, he saw that the general Wanyan Lou Room and the military advisor Wanyan Xiyin were waiting in front of the big tent!

Wanyan Zonghan glanced at Wanyan Lou Mur, who had a ruddy face, and sneered: "Grandma, Lou Mur will die on a woman's belly one day!" “

"Peony flowers die, and ghosts are also romantic!" Wan Yan Lou suddenly replied in Chinese!

Wan Yan Zonghan didn't mean to blame Wan Yan Lou Room, he stared at the Yellow River opposite and smiled: "It's cold and windy tonight, I really don't know if the Yellow River will freeze tonight?" ”

"What does the wolf lord mean by not crossing the river tonight?" Wan Yan Lou asked a little confused.

"Set up the big drum!" Wanyan Zonghan suddenly raised his nose and snorted coldly: "Immediately set up all the big drums in the general, and order the brothers to beat the drums in turn, so that the Song army on the opposite side can feel our strength!" ‘

Wanyan Xiyin nodded and said: Should the drum and trumpet go together! “

Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said: "After the drum sounds, push those Han people into the Yellow River and let them go forward, and those who are unwilling to move forward will be killed immediately, without mercy!" “

Wanyan Lou was on the side, but he was smiling. (To be continued......)
