Hu Yangeng was silent.

Yang Kefa persuaded Huyan Geng for a long time, and he was also angry: "Huyu Hou, I shouldn't have instigated the pursuit, I will fight with Huyan Tizhi in the future, but what matters at the moment is that we have to disperse to find reinforcements." ”

"What's the matter with Yang Zhi's envoy?"

"Huyan Yuhou, I don't know where the reinforcements have arrived, we are still divided into two roads, I go west, you go east, whoever encounters reinforcements will be led to save Taiyuan."

"Okay, I'll take my own people with me." Hu Yan Geng's young heart, he has been served by Hu Yan Hei since he was a child, and after being pierced by the soul, he is also Hu Yan Hei at his disposal, which can be said to be his closest person. This time he died because of Yang Kefa's suggestion, and he didn't want to talk to Yang Kefa more.

Among the more than ten horsemen who followed out of the city, six of them were generals and personal soldiers brought by Hu Yan Geng from home, and they all followed Hu Yan Geng to the east to find reinforcements.

It's just a thousand miles of Taihang Mountain, where are the reinforcements?

Hu Yangeng and the others quietly turned out of the mountain, followed the mountain road, walked all the way and inquired, and the next day, they arrived at a mountain col, in which there was obviously a fierce battle, the trees were burned, and the damaged armor staff and equipment were thrown everywhere, there were dozens of bones of the Song army, and seven or eight golden soldiers. The corpse's clothes and armor were taken away.

"Young brother, this is the back guard of the Hebei Forbidden Army." Qiu Muling Zhonglian said. Hu Yangeng still regarded them as brothers, but since the register of the Hu Yan family was recorded, Qiu Muling Zhonglian and others have adhered to the way of master and servant and called Yan Geng a brother.

"It's not surprising that Xianggong Li Gang and Xiao Chong Jingluo came from the east and brought the Hebei Forbidden Army."

Qiu Muling Zhonglian's family motto is "Zhuge is only cautious in his life", and he carefully observed the horseshoe prints around him: "It doesn't look like a large group of people, but like a small team being chased here." ”

They hastily gathered the bones of the Song army into a pit and covered them with a dead tree. In Taiyuan City, everyone is used to seeing dead people, and Hu Yangeng has no waves in his heart.

The group continued on their way, and soon they came to a village. There are no people in the village, and the doors of the houses are closed.

"Zhong Lian, go take a look and get something to eat."

Everyone led the horses into the village, and the village was quiet, and Qiu Muling Zhonglian walked to a room and knocked on the door, but no one in the house answered, and the door opened with a bang, and it was not tied.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian pulled out the knife, walked into the house vigilantly, searched for a while, and found no one. Cobwebs have formed in the corners of the house.

When everyone met, there was no one in the whole village.

"Find a room to rest and then grab some wild things to eat." Taiyuan has been besieged for ten months, Hu Yangeng and others have eaten rats and tree bark, the old and weak in the city have let them starve to death to save food, and compassion seems to be a luxury for Hu Yangeng.

Luckily, Bulu Gu Leping called two rabbits, roast rabbit meat and elm money leaves, which were much more delicious than mice.

The rabbit bones were thrown in the corner of the door, and Hu Yangeng fell asleep on the bed of the master's house.

The city of Taiyuan was broken, and the blue-faced and fanged golden soldiers rushed into the city, grabbed the children in the city and bit them, and the children screamed sharply......

Hu Yangeng was woken up by this scream, he grabbed the silver shovel in his hand and asked, "Enemy attack?" ”

"Young brother, catch a child."

Hu Yangeng looked at the boy in front of him, the dust on his face almost covered his facial features, and he couldn't tell his age. Judging from his height, he is eight or nine years old.

Hu Yangeng handed him a handful of elm money leaves: "Eat." ”

The child grabbed the elm leaf and ate it in a big gulp. When he was mentally relaxed, Hu Yangeng quickly asked the reason:

The people in the village were taken by the Jin soldiers and made slaves, and the child was hiding under the ditch and was not discovered by the Jin soldiers. He has been roaming around the village, making a living by digging birds' nests and digging for marmots. Hu Yangeng lit a fire when he roasted rabbit meat, and he ran back to the village to see if his parents had returned, and was immediately caught by the sentry.

At that time, the Jurchen Wanyan and other tribes were still a slave society, and the captured captives and captured residents were all slaves of the tribe.

"Are there any soldiers and horses from the imperial court passing by nearby?"

The child shook his head, he didn't understand what it meant.

"Do you know where your parents were caught by the Jurchens, who were bald and braided?"

"Know, give the big business things outside the mountain."

Hu Yangeng was relieved, it seems that the people in the village were all captured by Jin Bing and became a husband.

"Will you take us to save your father?"

"Young brother, no." "I'm waiting for something big to do. ”

"Looking for it this way, when will we find reinforcements, the villagers have been arrested as long husbands, and Jin Bing's inside story can always be seen."

According to the children's news, there are several convoys every day, passing by the mountain road, and the villagers are in the convoy.

"It seems that the convoy of grain is operating from Yuci to Jin."

Everyone waited silently until noon that day, when a team of wheelbarrows swayed closer. The Jin army entered the camp and put all the mules and horses in the surrounding camp, and the eldest man could only rely on manpower carts.

There were about 100 men in the chief, and several overseers ran back and forth, urging them with whips.

There were about 20 Jin soldiers escorted, led by horseback, leisurely.

"The gold thief is too careless."

"So what, hundreds of thousands of reinforcements have been defeated, and the gold thieves can't imagine that our team would dare to touch the tiger's buttocks. Twenty gold thieves, enough to scare small groups of thieves and outcasts. ”

"Zhuge is only cautious in his life, which makes sense." Qiu Muling Zhonglian sighed

When the Jin army slowly approached, Hu Yangeng took the lead in shooting an arrow, and the sound of the bowstring was the signal, and everyone let go of the bowstring in their hands. There was a burst of random arrows, Huyan Geng fired two shots and two hits, Qiu Muling Zhonglian hit three shots, Bulu Guleping hit seven shots and five hits, and the rest of the soldiers also had their own gains, and then everyone urged the horses to charge and rushed straight to the remaining Jin soldiers.

The leader of the Jin soldiers jumped off his horse when he heard the sound of the bowstring, which was considered to have escaped, and when he saw the enemy charging, he jumped on his horse and ran, and turned out of Puliu Ru Bosheng head-on, he was responsible for robbing and killing those who slipped through the net.

Bulu Gu Leping shouted: "Stay, mine." ”

Before the words fell, Puliu Ru Bosheng had already stabbed the man off the horse.

Hu Yangeng and others stopped the villagers, and Bulu Gu Leping cut the throats of the overseers one by one with a dagger, and then shook the bloody dagger in his hand at the villagers: "Fellow villagers, think about it carefully, if you want to make a dog for the gold thief, this is the end." ”

The villagers were so frightened that they knelt down one after another: "We were forced to be a husband by a gold thief......"

Qiu Muling Zhonglian pushed Bulu Guleping away: "Fellow villagers, who of you knows the situation of the imperial army. ”

The villagers looked at each other, but remained silent.

"Tell us the news of the court, you can take all this food, hide in the mountains, and don't go back to the village."

Still no one agreed.

Hu Yangeng shouted: "Yesterday we found a child in the village. ”

Child? A few of the villagers leaned forward, wanting to open their mouths to ask, but they didn't dare.

"The kid thinks he hasn't seen his father and mother for months, and he catches marmots every day for a living."

At this time, a man in the prime of life stood up: "Where is he?" ”

"This place is called Killing Bear Ridge, and a few months ago, there was a great battle between the imperial court and the gold thieves." Finally, a brave villager spoke.

Hu Yangeng and others reluctantly pieced together the information of many reinforcements and came to the worst conclusion: the Song Dynasty's reinforcements were all wiped out. After a small defeat, he had already returned to Fuzhou, and Liu Guangshi turned in front of the enemy, and he didn't know where he went. The small species was ambushed in the northwest of Yuci, killing 50,000 troops on Xiongling, and the small species was killed by the Wanyan living girl, Yao Gu and other 100,000 soldiers were defeated for 30 miles, and Li Gang's 200,000 reinforcements were also broken by each one, and there was no one in the ten who returned to Hebei.

Three waves of reinforcements, a total of 400,000 horses, and that's it?

Hu Yangeng couldn't believe it at all, how many Jin Bing were there? Half of them are still in Taiyuan. But the battlefield of killing Xiongling is vivid, and the armor of the Song soldiers has been taken away by the Jin people, but the broken banners and corpses everywhere show that the villagers are not lying.

Qiu Muling Zhonglian said: "Young brother, I can only go to the imperial court to ask for reinforcements now." ”

Hu Yangeng sneered: "The imperial court is only afraid that it will be too busy to take care of itself." He still retains the memory of the crossing, knowing that in the same year that Taiyuan City was broken, Bianliang was besieged and fell the next year.

"What about going back to Yanzhou Mansion to ask for reinforcements?" Lulu Guleping put forward another idea, although it could not reach the level of the Zhenfu Prefecture like the Zhejia, but in Yanzhou, the Huyan family pulled out 50 generals and 300 personal guards, and it was not difficult to mobilize a general of the Western Army.

"Even if you count the people, you can't reach 10,000 people, and you can help a lot, not to mention that once you go back, the ten-day period has long passed. The 400,000-strong army has been defeated, and there must be stragglers around it, so we can gather them together and see if we can do something. ”

"Young brother, during the ten-day period, even if I wait for ten days to gather thousands of stragglers, I can't relieve the siege of Taiyuan, so I should return to Yanzhou Mansion as soon as possible and report the situation here to the old lady."

Hu Yangeng's heart moved: he still remembered the general historical trend, if he took this opportunity to let his family contact the Western Army generals such as the Zhejia family and the seed family, and make early preparations, he might not be able to keep Shaanxi.

But when he thought of Zhang Jun's suspicious appearance of the Western Army during the Battle of Fuping and the consequences of the Battle of Fuping, he was immediately disheartened. So he said, "Entrusted by men, loyal to people." Even if you can't break the siege, you must stay on the side, and try to grab the lives of some people when the city is broken. Hu Yangeng remembered the "history" of the destruction of Taiyuan City and the slaughter of the city by Jin soldiers.

Since this was decided, Hu Yangeng asked the villagers: "Do you know where the rout of the imperial court went?" ”

"But I don't know."

At this moment, an old man leaned forward and shrank back.

"Uncle, dare to ask what you have to say?"

"Hundreds of people went east. I don't know where I'm going. ”

"To the east, that went to Lund Mansion?" Hu Yangeng cracked open a silver ingot, rewarded the villagers with scattered silver, and then discussed with the generals, "There is a Zhaoyi Army in Longde Mansion, and it may be possible to borrow reinforcements." ”

Everyone beat their horses and went east, Taihang Mountain was already desolate, and there was chaos in the army, and there was no human population all the way. The group rested at night, rested their horses, galloped during the day, and arrived in front of a high mountain two days later.

It was getting late, and everyone looked for a stockade. A small dock wall with its back against the mountain. There was some farmland in front of them, and it was time for the farmers to call their work and call their children and daughters to walk towards the village.

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty was also unpopular, Hu Yan Geng showed his identity, and handed the flag of Hu Yan's family in, and the village opened the gate of the village and welcomed several people in.
