Chapter 377: Jianghu (I)

The imperial capital of a country is often the epitome of the country, the so-called political, economic, and cultural centers, in this era, if nothing else, are all from the imperial capital, radiating to the surrounding areas, showing a decreasing trend.

The romance and feelings that belong to the Chu people have reached their peak here.

And the word romance does not simply refer to the love between men and women, to be precise, it is only a very small branch under romance.

Just as the Chu people like to go retrograde in the wind, and the long hair specially left on the temples is scattered with the wind, the romance that the Chu people love is actually a free and unrestrained attitude towards life and life.

This is not the preserve of the aristocracy,

It's just the aristocracy that can play the most fancy;

Meng Shou's pen, Huanghuang Dachu, 800 years of Jiangshan Sheji, under the romance he loves, what is nourished is actually the morale of the people hidden under the bottom on weekdays.

More than 100 years since the founding of the country,

When Uncle Zheng went south to attack Qian,

Haven't you also met the castle chief who opened the general's fort and made a red tent but still had to go to the beacon tower?

I have also met the old man with a gun who went up against the current, and his son who could have survived but still shot that arrow;

Daqian's army and armaments were very unbearable in that year, but they still had enough shining points, and some people were willing to dedicate their glory to this country that gave birth to them.

Da Chu, eight hundred years, how could this be missing?

Don't say that Da Chu is under the nobility, and they are all slaves; And that big cadre, the scholar class, is prosperous and prosperous.

Plainly

It's nothing more than the meat eater changing his name, changing his clothes of different colors, and doing the same thing as sucking human blood and fattening himself.

The first arrival of the Yan army,

Yingdu shook.

The high-level magnates were keenly aware of the slightest mistake, and the internal guards of the Great Chu Fengchao, who were almost able to compete with the silver armor guards of the Qianguo, failed to pass this military news back to their national capital in advance;

For a while, they vaguely guessed something, pursed their lips, and found that they were full of bitterness;

The middle-level magnates immediately began to run, whether to run or stay, how to run, how to stay, and they had to quickly negotiate a charter.

The low-level magnates began to immediately contact the higher-level magnates they were stammering with on weekdays, hoping to show them the way, no matter what to do, take themselves with them.

Thanks to the fact that the Yan army came too quickly, all the operations of the Great Chu Center were still there, and they maintained their own inertia.

For example, when several minor aristocratic officials of a division in the yamen of the Beijing government discussed in the signing room of their own division to move closer to the big nobleman and advance and retreat together,

The next official actually walked in and pasted the topics that needed to be discussed today on the wall of the study:

Do you want to cut the osmanthus tree on the royal road north of Mingfeng Gate?

A few nobles have a noble lord, you look at me, I look at you,

When the great calamity comes,

They're really thinking,

In the end, he ran away with his family and family first,

Or do you want to cut down this osmanthus tree first and come up with a preliminary charter?

It can only be said that in everyone's subconscious, there is really a lack of the correct reaction of the enemy soldiers when they are approaching the city;

At this point, the Chu people really need to learn from the cadres.

Since the defeat of Emperor Taizong of the Qianguo Kingdom in the Northern Expedition a hundred years ago, several generations of cadres have always had a nightmare of the Yan army's iron cavalry going south from time to time.

And the Chu people are really inexperienced.

Unlike the official lords and noble lords, who are long-term or short-sighted, panicked or strong and calm,

Yingdu,

The "rivers and lakes" in the imperial capital of Great Chu,

It shows the heroism and freedom unique to the people in the rivers and lakes.

You could say they're simple-minded,

Because the mind is simple, it is often the unanimous impression of the rivers and lakes in the temple;

But when the enemy army has already arrived outside your capital, if you go to think about it in the long run, it seems that you are really sick in the brain.

Where there are many people, there must be rivers and lakes.

The rivers and lakes are different in every place.

It is not a place name,

More often than not, it's actually a habit.

Jianghu people have rules on the rivers and lakes, and those who follow the rules of the rivers and lakes are often Jianghu people.

In the rivers and lakes,

Some people like to start a sect in a remote place;

Why choose a remote place?

Because in densely populated places, there is one of the largest sects, called the "Imperial Court".

But there are also people who like to establish their own heritage in densely populated places, and this kind of people usually have their own semi-official identity.

Yao Zizhan once said that the so-called rivers and lakes are nothing more than black, white, red, and all kinds of colors are mixed together.

But when you eat it, you can't escape a crispy word after all.

"Bang dang!"

The door of the Ma Family Knife House was opened from the inside.

Ma Lao Wu walked out with his Ma family serial knife, and behind him were his disciples.

Looking at the people who were fleeing in panic in front of them,

Ma Lao Wu laughed,

The master smiled,

The disciples behind him also laughed along.

People have to find some sense of existence at some point.

For example, the students who like to mistreat the most in the school often do amazing and strange things to make their classmates laugh, even if he is beaten by Mr. with a ring ruler, his heart is also sweet.

We are all born to be human, and we have to find something different for ourselves.

As now,

You are in a hurry,

And we,

But I'm going to go up against the current to find the swallow dog desperately!

The more panicked the neighbors and local people are, the more they can tell that our current cattle are not?

The Ma family knife hall has been inherited for five generations, and the reason why it can have its own inheritance at the foot of the emperor of Yingdu, there are 300 disciples in the knife hall, and thousands of registered disciples from all over the country, because the Ma family knife has a tradition of serving in the army in all dynasties.

The sword and axe hand of the forbidden army of the Great Chu Imperial Family, what he practiced, was actually a routine improved by the Ma family's knife.

Of course

It's not that the Ma family sent the knife to the imperial court,

It's because the one who created the Ma family knife, in his early years, was originally a centurion of the Chu saber axe.

Since then, a small half of the descendants of the Ma family knife in the past generations will join the military.

It's tradition,

It is also the foundation of life.

Ma Lao Wu took his disciples to the front street, there is a memorial arch on the front street, and there are characters on the memorial arch:

Bergamot Cui!

This street is also called Buddha's Hand Street.

A guard surnamed Cui led the crowd to defeat the assassins, and chased them out alone, and three days later, brought back the heads of the three assassin leaders.

The Emperor of Chu asked him what reward he wanted, and he said, "But I want to pass on what I have learned in my life."

Because this guard is good at Buddha's hand, it is a kind of palm method, after returning to the palace, the Chu Emperor's imperial pen in the Yingdu gave the name of a "Buddha's hand street", allowing it to open the door and establish a sect.

In this generation, the head of the Buddha's hand is also the descendant of that one, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Cui Buddha's hands.

Because the Majia Knife Restaurant is also on this street, they are all Jianghu sects, so they are a little incompatible with each other.

Majia knife restaurant?

Where?

At the end of Bergamot Street!

Disgrace!

Disgrace!

Ma Lao Wu roared:

"Is the Buddha worshipping the Buddha?"

"Huh."

A laugh came from the side of the street.

Cui Fo, who was tall and wore a string of beads around his neck and a string of Bodhi in his hand, led a group of disciples out.

"I'm still thinking about waiting and seeing, let's see if you dare to show this knife to the swallow dog, yes, but I didn't let a certain person take it lightly."

"Phew!"

Ma Lao Wu spat heavily on the ground,

Yell;

"Blind your dog's eyes, how can my Ma family knife be frightened? What's wrong with his swallow dog, no matter how powerful his swallow dog is, is it possible that he can continue to jump around with three heads and six arms? ”

"That's not true, the Yan people also have sabers."

The saber of the Yan people is a style of knife;

The knife of the Ma family knife is the knife method.

"Mother, surnamed Cui, Hugh wants to look down on people, let's compare it later, if I cut off more swallow dog heads, this street will be renamed Majia Street in the future!"

"Hehe, then wouldn't I be at a loss?"

"It's still a fart, the forbidden army outside the city has been defeated, and the swallow dog is about to come in!"

At this time, a man wearing a Taoist robe and holding a long sword spoke, followed by a group of people from the rivers and lakes with various weapons in their hands and different clothes.

In fact, they are not people from the rivers and lakes, they are members of the Cao Gang, the Taoist priest at the head, and they are not pure-hearted, his surname is Chen, and he is called Chen Lianhua.

In charge of the wharf from Yingdu to Mijiang, there are many people from three sects and nine streams.

On weekdays, he will also do some human trafficking work, and also put money in prints, forcing many families to die, and even helping some dignitaries to do things they feel dirty, so as to obtain protection from above.

His swordsmanship is superb, in the early years when he broke into the Yingdu dock, he was a five-grade swordsman, and the number of shots over the years has been less, but I think the swordsmanship should be more sophisticated.

Chen Lianhua's character and reputation are very poor, but at this time, he can summon his brothers from the Cao Gang to come over and prepare to help the officials and soldiers fight Yangou, at least, he will not lose in righteousness.

Ma Lao Wu and Cui Foshou also stopped talking, and walked towards the north gate with their disciples, during which many Jianghu rangers joined, and the size of the team suddenly expanded to a thousand five.

Yingdu is big enough, the population is large enough, and the pond has enough water to raise fish.

It's just that when this group of people came to the south gate, they happened to bump into the Chu army that had broken down outside and retreated into the city, and behind, the Yan army followed closely behind, but instead of rushing in, they chose the first step to control the city gate tower.

"Straight lady thief, kill, kill back!"

Ma Lao Wu shouted.

But it was useless, the routs only cared about running into the city, and they couldn't gather at all.

In fact, half of the Chu army that had collapsed outside the gate of Yingdu before, and half of them had bright brains, so they didn't think about running into the city at all, but scattered outside the city on the spot.

Because they know in their hearts that they are the last line of defense in Yingdu, and they have collapsed, even if they retreat to Yingdu, who can they expect to protect themselves?

Therefore, the rout army that fled into the city at this time is basically stupid.

The Yan army came in along the back road of the rout army and occupied the city gate, and Ma Lao Wu and a group of people from the rivers and lakes planned to rush up, but they were blocked by the crossbow arrows of the Yan people.

The people in the rivers and lakes are not regular troops in the end, one has no cooperation, two has no bow and crossbow, three has no armor, and four has no shield, and they have no force, but they can't play it.

At the same time, with the increasing number of Yan troops occupying the city gate tower, although they did not choose to rush in, but looking at the increasingly dense black armor on both sides of the city gate tower, whether it was Ma Lao Wu, Cui Foshou or Chen Lianhua, they all gave up the idea of forcibly recapturing the city gate with their own strength.

They can break through, but after breaking in, the people behind may not be able to keep up at all, and the end waiting for them at that time is to be trapped and killed in the Yan army.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a blue official robe rode a horse, followed by the official officer of the City Patrol Division.

The position of the City Patrol Division is available in every country, which is actually equivalent to a local security team, similar to the police station in later generations.

"Qin Hai, the official of the city patrol department, please don't be impatient, my lord has gone to collect the rout, wait a while, I will send troops to fight together and take this city gate!"

The Shangguan of Qin Hai is Zhao Yuelin, and the Shangfeng Yamen of the City Patrol Division is actually the Ministry of War, and Zhao Yuelin is just in charge of this part.

After seeing the swallow dog coming from the stargazing tower,

Jing's one immediately went back to Jing's mansion in Beijing to find the ancestor.

Zhao Yuelin immediately organized manpower to prepare to support the battle between the forbidden army and the Yan people in front.

It's just that even Zhao Yuelin didn't expect that before the support on his side was organized, the Chu army in front couldn't wait to break and flee.

But no matter what, something has to be done, right?

Seeing this, Ma Lao Wu, Cui Foshou and Chen Lianhua could only nod their heads in agreement.

This is actually a very ironic scene.

It doesn't specifically refer to Cui Buddha's hand, these people in the rivers and lakes, and Qin Hai, the captain of the City Patrol Division,

It also refers to the Yan army outside the city.

After easily defeating the Chu army, the Yan army did not enter the city quickly, but only took advantage of the situation.

Under normal circumstances,

Even if he is a battlefield chick who can only talk on paper as the commander of the Yan army, he should understand the truth of pursuing victory.

They have all reached the door of the enemy's capital,

Unless the enemy monarch has water in his brain,

Otherwise, he will never play any tricks at the gate of his own capital.

It's equivalent to the bottoms are gone, what are you still pretending to be here?

But Yan Jun maintained a strong restraint at this time,

In the face of this capital city, which was almost completely open to them,

These wolf-like Yandi armor warriors could only stare dryly and swallow saliva, but they just couldn't go in.

It's an ordeal, a real torment.

And the soldiers and civilians of the Chu State in the city continued to wait in the face of the knife on their necks, which was actually a kind of torment.

Everybody's suffering,

I even wish this knife could be sharpened, and then sharpened!

But the one who bears the sword,

But the order to enter the city has not been given.

Inside and outside the imperial city, so many soldiers and so many people can only be anxious because of that person's will.

……

King Jingnan did not give the order to enter the city, even though the city gate was already in hand.

He rode Pixiu and came to his own Chinese army.

The army of Vachu was led by King Jingnan;

But as everyone knows, the Jingnan Army is the real descendant of King Jingnan, who took over this army more than ten years ago, and any captain was personally assessed and promoted by him.

In the Jingnan army, there is a number of about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and in wartime, it is basically the closest army to the banner of the king of Jingnan.

The Jingnan army was proud to be able to enter there, although they were always in the front of the charge, and the casualties were the greatest, but when they charged, they were the closest to their prince.

King Jingnan's gaze swept over the knight in front of him.

"If you have a wife and children, get out of the ranks!"

There were soldiers riding out of the ranks.

"The only child in the family, come out of the ranks!"

There were soldiers riding out of the ranks.

"Father and son are in the army, and the son is in the ranks; If the brother is in the army, the younger brother is out of the ranks.

Whoever goes out stays outside the city,

Those who are not out of the ranks get on their horses and listen to my number, and follow this king into the city! ”

At last

A total of 3,000 knights were able to follow King Jingnan into the city.

The rest of the knights all want to go, as long as they can accompany their prince, they are willing to die.

However, the Jingnan Army is the most important military discipline and military discipline, so the scene where I want to go with me crying and grabbing the ground does not appear here.

Tian Wujing rode Pixiu,

wrist

With a flick of the wayside,

Three thousand knights lined up and began to rush into the city gates.

The long-delayed Yan army entered the city,

Here we go!

………

Zhao Yuelin finally gathered a defeated army, and in addition, he also brought in a group of soldiers from another yamen.

And this group of people who belong to the rivers and lakes of Yingdu have not been idle during this time.

The blood faded, and two or three hundred people secretly ran away, well, this is not a matter of help, but most of them are still kept, and the door panels on the nearby street are dismantled, intending to be used as temporary shields.

The officers and soldiers in the rear took out some bows and crossbows.

Anyway,

This improvised counteroffensive team was formed under the premise that the Yan people were deliberately slow and did not rush into the city at the first time.

Zhao Yuelin didn't know what he was busy with, because he clearly knew that after the collapse of the forbidden army outside the city, unless the divine soldiers descended from heaven, the huge Yingdu City was actually completely open in the eyes of the Yan people, and it was a dish in front of the Yan people, but the Yan people seemed to be too hot to deal with it, and they were not in a hurry to move the chopsticks.

But Zhao Yuelin still thinks that he should do something.

He didn't bother to participate in the conspiracy between those nobles, even though he was one of the nobles himself.

He rode a horse, surrounded by Qin Hai, holding a knife,

Yell:

"This official and you will kill the swallow dog together!"

The thousands of rabble gathered at the south gate by officials from all walks of life, soldiers, defeated troops, and people from the Jianghu sect immediately raised their weapons and shouted.

Then

They began their march towards the southern gate again.

On the city gate tower and city wall, the Yan army's bow and crossbow are ready, and below, they are also ready to fight.

Truth be told,

The Great Yanjing Southern Army, which is almost invincible in the world, really won't take the rabble in front of him in his eyes.

And at this moment,

The dull sound of horses' hooves came,

The Yan soldiers who were originally in battle under the city gate immediately retreated,

A majestic figure riding a Pixiu in gilded armor slowly drove out of the city gate,

Behind him,

Two flag-bearers rode horses and carried flags,

simultaneously

It's the Great Swallow Black Dragon Banner,

simultaneously

It is the royal banner of King Jingnan.

Time

The Great Chu Righteous Army, which had been clamoured by Zhao Yuelin before,

hasn't really fought yet,

In an instant, most of it was disintegrated.

In the country of Yan,

Because the king of Jingnan once destroyed himself, the folk reputation was not good,

It is often used by Yandi's parents to scare disobedient children:

"Cry again, make trouble again, let Nanhou Ye eat you!"

As everyone knows,

Outside the country of Yan,

The name of the king of Jingnan,

It's enough to discourage the enemy.

It's more appropriate to write this plot in one breath in a big chapter, but as soon as you look at the time, you will send it out first, don't wait at night, get up tomorrow and watch it.

Good night and hugs everyone!
