Jingkang Chapter A Lonely City and Ten Thousand Mountains Section 42 Fleeing

"If Brother Shi'en can find out, the Tartars can also know." After listening to Shi En's experience, Zhu Wu suddenly came back to his senses, "The boat has been found, we will go to the river bank overnight, and we will cross the river at dawn." ”

Cao Zhengdao: "Caojiazhuang can't stay. Butler, tell the lady and the lady to get up, clean up the softness, and we will cross the river in the whole village. ”

The whole Caojiazhuang seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and the shouts of men, the shouts of women, and the howls of children made a loud noise.

Cao Zheng is also considered to be a good ruler, but the whole village is also tossed until dawn, and it can be regarded as cleaning up.

It was dawn, and Cao was standing next to a large train. The five-room family in the clan was reluctant to leave, and an old man said to Cao Zheng: "Uncle, as soon as you leave, this Zhuangzi will change his surname back to Liu." Are you a gateway? Is it worthy of my big brother? ”

Cao Zhengdao: "Fifth uncle, for the sake of the livelihood of the Liu family, you still have to go with us, don't you go, wait for the Tartars to kill?" ”

Cao Zheng persuaded a few words, and saw several men from the Liu family standing behind the fifth uncle, their faces full of schadenfreude, knowing that they were waiting for them to leave, so that they could divide their own land, so he had no intention of persuading him again, so he said: "Brothers, if you are forced by the Tartars to get by, you can go to Kaifeng to find me, I am the son-in-law of the Liu family, and I have always been a family, and I will definitely take care of my family." ”

Cao Zheng took fifty or sixty Zhuang Ding, drove eight carts, and rushed to the bank of the Yellow River with Zhu Wu and others. Arriving at the scheduled river crossing, Cao Zheng was taken aback. I saw that the riverbank was full of people, and the boats that Cao Zheng collected on the riverbank had already been "borrowed".

Cao Zheng grabbed a person: "Why are you so panicked." ”

"The Tartars went around arresting the spies of the Song State and taking the opportunity to plunder, and they have already broken a lot of Zhuangzi. Hebei can't stay anymore, so I have to go to Henan. ”

Zhu Wu also sent someone to inquire privately, on this river beach, there were not only Zhuanghu under the rule of Heyang Mansion, who fled because Zhuangzi was broken by Jin soldiers, but also refugees from Xiangzhou, Hebei, who were blocked by Jin soldiers in Baimadu and had to cross the river from Mengjin instead.

Shi Jin looked around, and the river beach was crowded with people, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

In another time and space, the history books contain that "there are 50,000 or 60,000 people on the river beach, and the military and civilian houses and officials are at the mercy of ants." The women, officials, soldiers and civilians of the fighting house were trapped in the floating sand, and they were all gone. A woman was stuck in the sand, and she raised her arms with gold wrapped around her, calling for help, and she didn't dare to go. It is not there when it does not move. It is said that at that time, the soldiers and civilians on the river beach, their families, and officials were like ants, and countless people fell into the floating sand during the struggle, and the mud drowned people in a while. There was a woman in the mud who cried for help with gold ornaments, but no one dared to come to her rescue. Soon it was submerged.

And now on the river beach of Mengjin, I am afraid that there are also 50,000 or 60,000 people who will escape Henan. Moreover, most of the ships on the north bank of the Yellow River had been requisitioned and sent to the south bank by the Song army, and a small number were also captured by the Jin soldiers. The boat that Cao Zheng was hiding was also driven to the south bank.

Now Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Wu Song and other more than 200 people, Cao Zheng's Zhuang Ding, are all trapped on the north bank.

"Can't stay here. There are tens of thousands of people here, and the Tartars will come soon. ”

"Then what should I do, go back to Zhuangzi again?"

While he was talking, from the direction of Caojiazhuang, a horse galloped over. The man on horseback saw the crowd on the beachhead and slowed down, and a teenager craned his neck, looking around for something.

"It's Uchiko's nephew." Cao Zheng hurriedly called someone to lure the young man over. As soon as the young man saw Cao Zheng, he knelt on the ground: "Uncle, the Tartar village is broken." ”

Cao Zheng asked carefully, only to know that soon after they set off, the Jin soldiers arrived, saying that Zhuangzi colluded with the Song State spies, and couldn't help but rush into Zhuangzi, kill people when they saw them, and plunder everywhere, this young man waited for the opportunity to secretly find a horse from Zhuangzhong, and ran away from the back door to find Cao Zheng.

"Uncle, the other rooms are all trapped in the village, but I am afraid that it will be inevitable to ......" The young man howled.

Zhu Wu said on the side: "It was we who implicated Caojiazhuang. ”

"Where is the Zhu envoy," Cao Zheng pointed to the crowd on the river beach, "These fifty or sixty thousand people were all implicated by the Zhu envoy?" ”

"Don't talk about it. Where are we going? ”

"Everything is subject to the orders of the historical envoy and the Zhu envoy."

"The only way to do this is to find a place to retreat first, send someone to contact the other side of the strait, and then make a plan."

While everyone was planning, suddenly there was a commotion on the river beach. I heard the crowd shouting, "Boat, big ship, now you can be saved."

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw dozens of big boats coming up on the river. The bow of the ship held high the two flags of Huyan and Shengjie. On the other side of the river, hundreds of large boats are faintly visible.

"It's the Lord's fleet."

"The fleet that sent Wang Jieshuai has returned."

Shi Jin, Zhu Wu and others also cheered.

At this time, the fleet was seen to stop ten zhang away from the riverbank, and a large boat lowered its small boat, and the soldiers on the small boat used pennies to probe the depth of the riverbed.

At the same time, a man with a short stature, with twenty soldiers, waded to the shore.

The crowd hula suddenly surrounded him. The soldiers who followed the man ashore blocked the crowd with their spears.

The man chose a slightly higher place, stood up, and shouted: "By the order of the Marquis of Huyan River to defend the capital, take Er and wait for the people to cross the river." The people around cheered, and the people who didn't hear it clearly wanted to come forward to find out, and the people in the middle wanted to follow the short and stout man closely, so as not to miss the opportunity to cross the river, and the crowd suddenly crowded together.

At this time, the cannon suddenly set off on the big ship, and the tom tom was like a thunderbolt, suppressing the noise.

The whole people were frightened, and the stout man took this opportunity to return to the riverbank, and commanded the big boat to keep lowering the small boat. The boat was fastened with wooden stakes on the bank of the river, and then planks were nailed to the boat to create a trestle.

At this time, the soldiers on the big ship disembarked in turn and went ashore along the trestle. Not only the infantry, but also the cavalry leading the horses.

A fat monk walked over from the trestle with an ink Zen staff, and the short man took the initiative to greet him: "Master Zhishen, have you come ashore as a conductor?" ”

Lu Zhishen waved his hand: "They are all ashore, and the Sprinkle family is the last wave." Brother Zhang Heng, have you found a guide on the shore? ”

It turned out that this short and stout man was Zhang Heng who lifted the sailor, and Zhang Heng was on fire at the bow of the boat. He replied, "The guide hasn't been found yet." ”

Lu Zhishen came to the shore and ordered his command to drive the crowd away from the beachhead and clear an open space. The soldiers took wooden stakes and enclosed the clearing, forming a long and narrow passage into which people had to step on the trestle.

The boy with the organic spirit has already grabbed the passage and is about to run to the trestle. Lu Zhishen grabbed the back of his neck with one hand and threw him aside: "Young and young, and there is no family, what to rob." ”

The boy told him again and again. Lu Zhishen ignored him anymore, and shouted in a voice like a big drum: "Spread the order of the river defense division and the army of Yuhou Hu Yangeng, and carry hundreds of officials and people across the river by boat, one work sign can pass one person." "His voice was so loud that it made the ears of the people next to him tingle.

As he spoke, the soldier had set up a table at the entrance of the passage, on which was placed a basket of counting chips, on which were engraved with a special mark.

The spiritualist people had gathered around the table to ask. A well-spoken soldier said: "Every day a man works for the River Defense Division, he can get a calculation chip, and for each calculation chip, he can send a person on a boat to cross the river." If a family of four is served, and one man does four days' work, or two men work two days, they can cross the river. Those who have to do the work should go under the flagpole and take them all. ”

Someone asked, "I am willing to work, but my wife and children are sleeping on the river beach, which is really pitiful." ”

"Women and children can cross the river first, and when you are done, you will settle the settlement with the calculation chips. If you don't settle the bill, your wife and children will be in the army. ”

There was a burst of merry laughter around.

A fat man asked, "Do you have to work?" Grandpa Bing, I'll give you two pieces of money, you let me get on the boat. ”

"We all said Yu Hou, we will never collect money this time, you have money, you can buy it from others. Or hire someone to do the work for you. ”

By this time, dozens of men had already gathered under the flagpole, and all of them led them to dig a trench.

Lu Zhishen was a little idle, felt that something was wrong with his body, touched it in his arms, and found that the money bag was gone. When I looked up, I found that the kid I had just caught was holding a dead grass in his mouth, squatting on a big rock in the distance, looking at himself leisurely.

Lu Zhishen was furious, walked over to this kid, and shouted, "Return grandpa's money bag." ”

Seeing that he was getting close to this kid, the kid waved his hand and threw a stone, which hit Lu Zhishen's bald head, Lu Zhishen was furious, and ran straight towards this kid.

Lu Zhishen walked back angrily, but someone accosted him in front of him: "Brother, I can be regarded as seeing you." ”

As soon as Lu Zhishen raised his head and saw that it was Shi Jin, he grinned and said, "I'll just say, Shi Dalang is like a big worm, and he must be fine." ”

"Brother tell me quickly, as soon as I reach the river, a boat will come, and I will count the Lord like this."

Shi Jin hurriedly asked Lu Zhishen, why did the ferry come so coincidentally?

Lu Zhishen said: "There are a lot of people gathered on this river beach, and I can see it clearly when I wait on the south bank. The general Huyan said: 'Do not allow the people to be ravaged by gold thieves on the northern shore. It happened that Zhang Heng sent Wang Jieshuai back, and the lord and I discussed for a long time, and crossed the river to pick up people this morning. ”

"Will the Lord take these fifty or sixty thousand people across the river?" Zhu Wu and the others also came over at this time, and when they heard the conversation, Zhu Wu couldn't help asking.

"Exactly."

Zhu Wu's face was worried: "With so many people crowded on the river beach, if the gold thief sends a captive to attack, how can it be good." ”

"General Qiu Muling also persuaded the general in this way, and the general said that he should act in Dunkirk without worry."

"What does Dunkirk mean?"

"The Sprinkler family doesn't know, and they just listen to the Lord's orders."

"What has the Lord commanded? Please show my brother. ”

"When the Sajia and others cross the river, they must not only erect this wooden stake and let the people get on the boat in order, but also dig out the fortified area along the terrain of the river bank to protect the river beach crossing. Now send out a sentry to prevent the gold thieves from raiding. Locals are needed to be guides. ”

"Brother, don't worry, this owner of Cao Zhuang is a local." Zhu Wu introduced Cao Zheng to Lu Zhishen.
