Generally speaking, it is not easy to serve the commander in the army, because the generals are in a position of power and have a very strong temper. But Cao Bin, known as the first good general of the Great Song Dynasty, is definitely an exception, history says that Cao Bin is "benevolent and prudent, able to protect his reputation, and abide by the law", in fact, it is also the case, the soldiers rarely see Cao Bin arguing with whom, and when he encounters the carriages and horses of civil officials on the road, Cao Bin, who has been a festival envoy, has to avoid it, and he can really be called a gentleman. It's just that since the 40,000 troops in the southeast camp were almost wiped out, and even the news that Qian Jiao, the king of Wuyue, had been killed by the Tang people, Cao Bin's temper became extremely bad, and in two or three days, there were already seven or eight personal soldiers who had been beaten with military sticks, checking the sentry overnight, and two dozing Xiao cavalry soldiers were in the camp with arrows in their ears, so that the left and right soldiers were trembling these days, for fear of doing something, and inexplicably lost their heads.

With a "bang", Cao Bin slapped the table again, so frightened that the eyelids of the two guards outside the tent jumped, "Ding Deyu escaped from the battle, and he should be killed according to the law!"

"Guohua, and don't be impatient, although the enemy's cunning has succeeded, our arrangement is also in progress. What's more, according to the detailed report in the city, that Wu Hero has been robbed of military power, which is like idleness, which is really a big trouble in my heart. Wang Yu, the capital supervisor of the right army, was still calm and relaxed, picked up a cup of tea and put it in his mouth and sipped it carefully, and said with a smile: "When you come to the south of the Yangtze River, you can taste the new Beiyuan spring tea, which is really the best in the tea." ”

Cao Bin also took a sip of the teacup, but he drank too quickly, choked and coughed, and asked after a while: "The Tang army won this great victory, are those Jiangnan ministers in the city still willing to invest in cooperation with me?"

Wang Yu said with a smile: "I have saved the handwritten letters in the future, and if they regret it, I will send it to Cai Yu." After speaking, he smiled slightly, and said: "Since you have made up your mind to submit to our court, you can't allow them to repeat." ”

Cao Bin nodded, and said, "Wang Ming and Liu Yu are sure of that?"

Wang Yu nodded and said: "These two are both generals, and the Chiyue Navy has been trained for a long time, as long as the Hukou rebel army dares to go east, it should be no problem to gather and annihilate them." At that time, Jinling's foreign aid will be cut off, but our side will benefit from the Yangtze River waterway, and the military rations from the two lakes can be continuously transported to Jinling City, and the city will be broken!"

Cao Bin nodded with some relief, and said hatefully: "It's a pity that Wu Yingying's kid defeated the East Road, and it can't be regarded as a complete victory!"

Wang Yu smiled slightly and said: "The southeast camp is not subordinate to us, although it is said that it is here to solve the difficulty, it is only to blame Qian Jiao for not knowing what is going on when he falls into the trap of the enemy." What's more," he approached Cao Bin, and said in a low voice: "When Jinling is taken, the next one is Wu Yue, this time Wu Yue's elite is exhausted, King Qian died, and the news is transmitted back to Bianliang, maybe Your Majesty is secretly happy in his heart." ”

Cao Bin also thought of these things, but he was not as sure as Wang Yu, this was when he heard Wang Yu say this, he fell to the ground with a big stone in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's good, it's also unintentional." Turning worry into joy, he raised the teacup and took a sip, and sighed: "Or you and other literati know how to enjoy, this good Beiyuan new tea, if you don't mention it to me, I will throw it aside, I'm afraid I won't drink it when it gets moldy." ”

"General, now that the upper and lower reaches of our army are monitored by enemy troops, once we leave the camp, it will be a situation of many bad luck, is it really a dangerous entry to aid Jinling?" Dashuai, this holy decree can't be faked by Song people, right?"

"I have carefully checked the seal, and it is indeed the will of the imperial court. Alas!" Zhu Lingyun sighed, and took the holy decree in his hand to the generals who participated in the military conference to circulate it, "I have repeatedly explained to the imperial court that if the lone army comes to the east, it is easy to be cut off by the Song people, and if our army is not protected, the situation in the upper reaches of the river will immediately erod. Judging from the holy decree, the court not only did not believe it, but also suspected that we were disobedient. It seems that it is urgent to send troops to Jinling. ”

He saw that the lieutenant colonel's face was as pale as earth after reading the holy decree, and he smiled again: "Fortunately, in the holy decree, the black clouds of the Chizhou camp will meet us and others halfway, if the Song people dare to intercept and kill halfway, the two armies of Hukou and Chizhou will attack on both sides, so that the Song people will not be able to bargain." He paused and said, "The black clouds are the elite of the country, and if they take over, the situation should be much better." ”

Wang Hui nodded and said: "In this case, my subordinates will order all departments to check the soldiers, sort out the battle blocks, and prepare to obey the orders to march east!"

Zhu Lingyun sighed: "Once the army is opened, Hukou will inevitably be captured by Wang Ming, and all the soldiers who can move will be drawn together with the army, and the families of the army will be sent to the nearby states for resettlement, and the baggage in the camp cannot be taken away and burned on the spot, and the Song people cannot be cheapened." ”

Three days later, the 150,000 Tang troops of the Hukou battalion pledged to enter Jinling, and took a 100-meter-long raft and a large ship that could accommodate people out of Hukou and marched eastward to Anhuikou. This place is a place where soldiers must fight, and it confronts the camp of Chizhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty across the river. The Great Song Dynasty camp was commanded, and the guards and infantry troops were all Yu Marquis Liu Yu led an army of 30,000 to intercept, and the two armies fought all day on the Wankou River. The Tang army was killed and wounded heavily, and he still desperately stepped forward in an attempt to rendezvous with the elite of the Chizhou camp, however, not a single soldier from the Chizhou side participated in the battle. Zhu Lingyun and the Marquis Heiyun did not have reinforcements, so they had to release the fierce fire oil purchased from the Western Byzantine Empire to block the Song army's attack. Coinciding with the change of wind direction, the Song army took advantage of the situation to push the burning boat to the Tang army's big ship, burning the river for ten miles, the Tang army was defeated, Zhu Lingyun committed suicide and martyrdom, and Wang Hui, the marquis of Yu, was captured. Nearly 100,000 troops of Song Junchi and Yue Zhujun were no longer contained, so they went down the river with great fanfare, and the Chizhou camp of the Tang State did not dare to take it lightly, so they could only trap Shaankou and let it advance eastward. In the middle of the day, the prefectures and counties in the upper reaches of the river fell into view, and the coast was controlled by the Song army, and the situation of the two countries was reversed.

Upstairs in Sun Chu, Wu Yingying sat alone, and the banquet was full of duck's foot soup, unitary soup, apricot cheese, sheep cheese and other exquisite snacks, and the two singers with both color and art sang and chanted lightly on the sandalwood board, but he didn't look at it, his eyes only looked at the white sails outside the window, and his thoughts didn't know where to drift. Since Huang Wen canonized Baoyi and Xiao Xin and moved to other states, Wu Yingying often came to this restaurant alone to buy drunk, and often went home drunk and fell asleep. He carried a newly made iron treasure knife with him, these days his chest was like a flame in his chest, when he was depressed, the wine could not be extinguished, so he was used to dancing the knife after being drunk, and in this half-drunk and half-awake state of emptiness, he gradually realized some of the methods of the knife to move at will. Today's Wu Hero gives people the feeling that people are also knives, and knives are also people, and I don't know whether the knife absorbs the soul of people, or whether people integrate the essence of knives. A Mo knife danced up, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder, but when I saw a cloud of snow rolling around, it already had the power of Cai Siye, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, with a Mo knife in his hand, and everyone was broken. Because the power of the Mo knife is too huge, the pro-soldiers around him gradually joined forces and could not be a blow to Wu Yingying, Wu Yingying created this slightly shorter horizontal knife to carry with him, and called a few pro-soldiers to compete with him, Wu Yingying attached the blade to dodge and move in the knife bush of the pro-soldiers, and often watched the battle from the sidelines were scared into a cold sweat, and the hearty fight could vent the nameless fire in his heart, and there was a different understanding on the knife road.
