Chapter 92: Beautiful
Zhou Hou rushed to hear the news, and accompanied Cai Yu to watch the study in silence, and finally turned into a gray ember. She was not born to persuade Cai Yu, who was in pain, because she knew that what this fire burned was the good things of the past.
At night, the east wind slowly blew away the smoke and dust of the day, and Captain Chase received forty boxes of books and albums given to Wuchang Junjie Wu Heroes at the gate of the palace.
These things were not sent back to Wu's mansion, but according to Wu Yingying's instructions, all piled up in the original excavation into the palace half of the tunnel, in order to prevent the water from infiltrating after the rain to damage these priceless treasures, Wu Yingying asked Chase to backfill the tunnel with gray stone and excavated soil overnight, making sure that there was no gap in the tunnel, and finally used a stone grinder to tamp the ground at the entrance, Chase led the guards to work until the next afternoon.
In the past two days, the situation in the city has become more and more chaotic, if it were not for the Song army outside the city, I am afraid that Jinling has already escaped into an empty city, the hearts of the battalions are floating, only the black clouds have been favored, the whole army is still complete, and it is still insisting on the defense of the palace city, but in the estimation of Wu Yingying, the Song army will enter the city to change the defense, there must be a gap to use, and then lead the guards to break in from the side gate should be very sure.
On the third day, Cai Yu wore a white hat, was barefoot, exposed his upper body, carried thorns, held the Tang Yulei in both hands, and led 45 people, including Yin Chongyi, Xu Xuan, and Zhang Bo, to surrender. Cao Bin ordered Cai Yu to go back to the palace to pack his bags, and two days later he boarded the ship to Kaifeng and personally pleaded guilty to Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty.
The Song soldiers then marched into Jinling.
Note: In the war years, the south is always more stable than the north, and it has become the concentration of cultural relics collection, and the unification of the world often leads to the north to the south, and the war has led to a huge cultural catastrophe. There were two of the greatest disruptions in history caused by this, one was the burning of books by Emperor Liang Yuan, and the other was the burning of books by Cai Yu. Countless cultural relics and classics are no longer reproduced, which is undoubtedly the death of our Chinese civilization. Here's an ironic true anecdote:
The book "Golden Building" written by Xiao Yi, Emperor Liang Yuan of the Southern Dynasty, many of which were written on the basis of collecting the thoughts of the sons of the prelude and the famous masters of the Six Dynasties, plus Xiao Yi's own explanation, were very precious, and were searched by Cai Yu and treasured in the Jianye Study. For this reason, he also had mixed feelings and wrote the "Preface to the Title of Jin Louzi", which said: Emperor Liang Yuan said: Wang Zhongxuan was in Jingzhou in the past and wrote dozens of books. Jingzhou is bad, burn its books, and now there is an article, and the well-known people are salty, and they don't know their spots when they see the tiger. After the Western Wei Dynasty broke Jiangling, the emperor also burned his books, saying: The way of civil and military affairs is all tonight. He Jingzhou burned books badly, and he was the same. The poem is lamented: "The toothpick is wrapped in red silk, and Wang Cangshu is burned with fire." Don't leave a face in the ancestral dragon, and the legacy will get today. "All Tang Poems" volume 8, Zhonghua Book Company, 1960 edition. "All Tang Poems" is added at the end of the article: "Fengguang Xiaoyun, this poem is the same as the inner library of the book, and today it is mistakenly made for the Jin Dynasty, and the Hui Temple is evil and erased, and then it is like a prophecy into gold." ”
Volume 4 Won the Horse on Foot Chapter 77 and Killed Ji
The night was deep, and there was a dead and miserable scene in Jinling City, only the scoundrels on the streets were crawling around like rats. With the Song army having taken over the defense of the city wall, the Tang army retreated to various military camps to be disposed of.
Outside the city, in the camp tent in the west of Shengzhou, it was very lively, and the generals drank heartily while making their hands on the Jiangnan girls with all kinds of rings of fat swallows and thin swallows. In addition to the soldiers on the city wall and monitoring the Tang army camps everywhere, the generals who have not yet entered Jinling have not yet been obtained, and they are all looking forward to entering the city as soon as possible. The generals then gave priority to the spoils of war sent by the losers. After a thousand-mile trek from Bianliang to the south of the Yangtze River, the Battle of Shaankou, the Battle of Quarrying, and the Battle of Changzhou, how many northerners fought in the south of the Yangtze River, and finally ushered in a big victory. Cao Han, who had made miraculous achievements, was especially persuaded by the generals to change the glass, and Pan Mei and Pan Mei drank until their tongues were numb.
The tent is randomly piled up with all kinds of gold, silver and pearls that Xu Xian was ordered to send, and the top of the tent is hung with a huge night pearl that emits a soft light, which is a rare treasure taken from the Guangzheng Palace, and at this moment the ribbon is hung on the Chinese military tent at will, which is originally quite charming and pearlescent, but it is not as bright as the blazing bonfire in the tent.
Cao Bin has always been honest and self-professed, Xu Xian sent a jewel he did not take privately, only gave the national seal of the Southern Tang Dynasty to Zhao Kuangyin to report the victory, and at the same time, he chose the best two treasures, a seven-foot-high blood coral and a piece of high-grade jade, and sent them to the Jin Wangfu of Kaifeng Mansion with a fast horse. In addition, Zhao Kuangyin's favorite things such as household registrations of residents in various states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, mountain and river atlases, etc., were also ordered to be prepared quickly and sent to Kaifeng as soon as possible.
And the rest of the treasures are all piled up on the celebration banquet at this moment, and they are left to the southern expeditionary generals to take their own.
In order to envelop the generals of the Song army, Xu Xian deliberately selected twenty of the best palace dancers to give to Cao Bin, all of whom were trained by the famous dancing queens and had to be trained by Cai Yu himself.
Just because the women's menstrual affair implies the disaster of blood and light, it was the most taboo woman in the army in ancient times. Therefore, there are complaints about the soldiers who are half dead in front of the army, and the beauties are especially singing and dancing, not only complaining that the main general is greedy for pleasure, but also accusing him of ignoring the life and death of the soldiers.
Since the southern expedition, except for a few generals, many generals have not touched a woman for more than half a year, even if they see an old sow, they have to look twice. Seeing so many dancing girls, where did the generals take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade, many generals originally looked down on Cao Bin's politeness, and they did not avoid the main generals, so they casually pulled the dancing girls around them into their arms and wantonly frivolous. These women were originally selected by Cai Yu and Zhou Hou, their appearance and character are all the best choices, and they also have a lot of status in the palace, and they have never encountered such humiliation, one by one they can't help but be shocked, and when the generals get up and down, they occasionally let out a few exclamations, which is even more exciting for these half-life soldiers to be beastly, if it is not for Cao Bin's face, I am afraid that there will be more excessive actions. Cao Han and Pan Mei each hugged each other, ignored Cao Bin's seat, and went straight to the account. Although the other generals did not dare to be as arrogant as the two of them, they were also unscrupulous.
In this situation, compared to the prosperous and stable life in the Southern Tang Palace, how much is like heaven and earth, the dancers began to be happy, and then all of them had a sad face, which made people feel pity, and the songs sung by babbling had no cheerful meaning for a long time, and only made people feel endless grievances.
Cao Bin looked at the generals in the tent coldly, his face became more and more gloomy, and he suddenly shouted angrily: "Come on, push all these Jiangnan dancing girls down and behead them!"
This general was too abrupt, and the generals didn't come back to their senses for a while, and some of them gnawed at the beauty in their arms with a hippie smile, so painful that the delicate beauty frowned deeply, but they didn't dare to resist, which made this group of tearing men laugh even more presumptuously.
Seeing that the Yajun who was guarding next to him did not immediately carry out the military order, Cao Bin's face became even heavier, and he shouted at Kuang Si, the captain of the Ya Military Academy: "Don't do it yet, do you want me to do it myself?"
Kuang Si hurriedly agreed, and immediately led the tooth soldiers to tie up all these dancing girls, even those who were pulled in the arms of the generals did not let go, pulled their hair and forced them up, a total of eighteen Jiangnan dancing girls, all of them fell down in the middle of the big tent, waiting for Cao Bin's fate.
The noisy tent suddenly fell silent, and all the generals looked at Cao Bin, not knowing what kind of pedigree this main general of Riss Svenwen was posing.
Cao Bin looked around the tent with cold eyes, and shouted: "You and other Jiangnan women, since you came to my Wang Shi to dance, why did you pretend to be sad, it is clear that you have the old master in your heart and do not accept the royal way." "His prestige in the army is not high, and he intends to beat the generals, but he chooses to throw a mouse bogey, and at this moment he has the intention of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.
These vague words deducted the heinous crime, and told the sergeants who were like wolves and tigers to tell how to distinguish between the women who knelt on the ground, and there was only a blank in their minds, they were just trophies given to the victor by the loser, and they could only swallow humiliation and bend their playthings. The current situation has never been encountered even in imagination, let alone what to do. Suddenly, I heard this fierce and vicious Song General say: "Push them all down and cut them down!
At this point, the generals looked at each other, knowing that this master was really angry. Only the right army protector Wang Yu drank a glass of turbid wine without moving, and watched with some regret as these stunning and bewitching people were pushed out of the tent, and after a while, eighteen bloody human heads were presented in the tray, and Cao Bin "hummed" and nodded.
