Chapter 817: Entering Ezhou and facing siege

As soon as Chen Mi left, Yang Jing and Wang Daoming continued to discuss countermeasures, and now Jiang Manyu and Old Man Lu and Longshu Tusi and others have begun to meet, and the barbarians from all over the country are also waiting for battle. .

But they have just experienced the war in Annan, and Yang Jing will never let them fight hard again unless it is a last resort, not to mention that the object of this attack is still the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and the forbidden army, Yang Jing really doesn't want to see the same room.

But after all, it depends on the attitude of the imperial court, and Yang Jing can't just sit and wait to be killed, after all, he is the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and he was in the Anfeng Army before, and he also set up a Shenhuo Battalion, and he already knows everything about the army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Yang Jing can trust these brothers, but Wang Daoming's choice is not these barbarians, but Zong Yun, who is on the Northern Expedition!

Just returned to the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Jing asked people to collect news about Zong Yun, Wang Daoming was even more anxious than Yang Jing, and he was even more enthusiastic about the progress of his disciples, and he had already let people find out clearly.

Moreover, the people are also very clear about the dynamics of the Northern Expedition Righteous Army, and they are talking about it after tea and dinner in the streets and alleys, and the storytellers in the restaurant and tea shop are waving the flag and shouting for the righteous army every day, and they can't listen to it if they don't want to.

Zong Yun's rebel army has already conquered Henan Mansion, and even Kaifeng Mansion has been taken, and now it is fully recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!

The sixteen states of Yanyun have always been a battleground, Zongyun's righteous army touched the bottom limit of the Mongol Khanate when it touched the sixteen states of Yanyun, and those who were competing for the throne of the Khan also began to realize that although they could not join forces, they each sent troops to suppress it, and the north fought extremely fiercely.

But Zong Yun won almost unanimous praise in the hearts of the people in the north and south, and many people even brought their own dry food and walked for months just to go north to join the rebels!

The Han Er in the northern land is even more responsive, the scale of the rebel army has grown to the point that the imperial court is frightened, and Zhao Yun also wants to recruit Zongyun's rebel army three or four times, but he does not dare to start the war lightly.

Li Tingzhi and Du Shu led the An Feng Army, as well as the men and horses of the other road military supervisors, and also followed the righteous army north, but they were a little suspicious of picking up people's teeth, but when they arrived at the imperial court, it became a great military achievement!

At present, the focus of the imperial court is also on negotiating with the rebels, it is said that it is for the belonging of Luoyang, and now the angels of the imperial court are still in Luoyang, but the posture of the rebels is very clear, and the Lianghuai region can become a bargaining chip for negotiations, and Luoyang has nothing to talk about at all!

This has become a piece of Zhao Yun's heart, because Luoyang used to be the imperial capital, and many heroes in history were the ones who became powerful in Luoyang, and even called the emperor in Luoyang!

Zong Yun's refusal to give up Luoyang shows that he has the heart to establish himself as the king, and when the time comes, the entire northern world will fall into his hands, where is there anything to do with the Great Song Dynasty!

Perhaps it was precisely because of Zong Yun's strong rise that Zhao Yun was even more worried about Yang Jing, and chose to completely abandon Yang Jing at this time!

Wang Daoming's idea is also very simple, although the barbarians are closer, but when it comes to combat effectiveness, where can they compare to the Zong Yun Righteous Army who are fighting with the Mongols all day long!

Zong Yun's righteous army didn't need to go south at all, as long as they made a gesture of going south, the Great Song Dynasty would never dare to move Yang Jing again!

As he gradually approached Lin'an, Wang Daoming's thoughts became more and more obvious, and Yang Jing could also see that he did not want Yang Jing to be attached to the court and be a lackey of the court, and he always wanted to support Yang Jing as a second Zongyun.

It's a pity that Yang Jing also took a serious stance towards him, Yang Jing is not keen on these things, it's okay to resist foreign enemies, if it's internal fighting, Yang Jing feels that it is the people who suffer after all.

When you sit in that position, whether you are reluctant or not, you will inevitably be pushed by the situation and do something against your will that you have to do, which Yang Jing is not happy to see.

However, Wang Daoming did not continue to persuade, because he knew that Yang Jing's character was relatively resolute, and it was difficult to change what he decided, and if he wanted to change Yang Jing, he must let him experience it himself, let him experience it himself, and let him go on this road willingly, so that he would make a great difference!

At the same time as Yang Jing sent a letter to the head of the barbarian soldiers, he also wrote a letter to Zong Yun according to Wang Daoming's instructions, with a letter and tokens from his master Wang Daoming, and asked the people of 6 Chang'an to send it to the north as soon as possible.

It is estimated that if Zong Yun knew that Wang Daoming was by Yang Jing's side, he was afraid that he would immediately put on his wings and fly over!

After such a discussion stopped, Yang Jing finally embarked on the journey to the south again, and this time he brought Xia Solstice Girl and Chen Shuisheng and others with him, after all, I don't know if I can return to Baling, since they dare to live and die, how can Yang Jing ruthlessly drive them away?

Due to the delay in Jiangling for a few days, Yang Jing and others also accelerated their trip, and soon entered the Ezhou border.

However, to Yang Jing's disappointment, the secret inspectors of the Imperial City Division obviously did not listen to Yang Jing's advice, and they attacked Yang Jing several times, but they were all defeated by Wang Daoming.

Although Yang Jing was unwilling to kill these people, Wang Daoming hoped that Yang Jing would draw a clear line with the imperial court, and Feng Ruochen and others were even more indignant.

These secret inspectors also gave Yang Jing a dead hand, no matter in terms of the size of the number of people or the strength of the attack, they all wanted to put Yang Jing to death, and Wang Daoming and the others did not need any sympathy and mercy, and killed all the assassins!

The secret inspectors continued to intrude, and Yang Jing also realized that these people were not the group of people who followed him earlier, but those who tended to be internal guards.

If Xu Fo sent all Yang Jing's former subordinates to assassinate Yang Jing, it would inevitably be too cruel, and it can also be seen that Xu Fo still has room in this matter.

Wang Daoming also analyzed the situation in the court very clearly, and Yang Jing also knew that Xu Fo couldn't help himself.

He is the leader of the Imperial City Division, and the Imperial City Division is the most powerful trump card team in Zhao Yun's hands, Xu Fo is loyal to the imperial court, loyal to Zhao Yun, and the execution of Zhao Yun's orders is also very good, he has no choice at all.

But from the fact that he did not send Yang Jing's old subordinates to kill Yang Jing and kill each other, it can be seen that he is already returning Yang Jing's favor.

But at the same time, it also shows that there is really no room for maneuver in this matter, it is not that Xu Fo will not give it, but that Zhao Yun and Jia Rudao wish that Yang Jing would die as soon as possible!

At this point where you are waiting for you to live or die, Yang Jing also began to fulfill what he said, but anyone who dares to stop him will be killed!

Seeing that it has only been more than a day since they entered Ezhou, they have already suffered seven attacks, and when it was approaching evening, Yang Jing's team did not dare to be careless, but Ji Jin took the child, Xia Solstice girl, Nimo and Countess Ashley, etc., all needed to rest, so they could only settle down temporarily.

Yang Jing would not hide in the wilderness, he led a large group of men and horses into Wuchang in Ezhou.

This Ezhou is rich in copper mirrors, Yang Jing took the women to go shopping, the waterway traffic here is extremely good, the night is also the light market like day, and there are all fun and delicious things in the night market.

A group of people bought bronze mirrors and ate Wuchang fish, in this land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, they were very addicted.

The secret inspectors also know that the more crowded the place, the more difficult it is to start, Yang Jing used to be the second-in-command of the Imperial City Division, so he naturally grasped their weaknesses to the death.

Yang Jing never concealed his whereabouts, this was the case in Baling, and it was still the case in Ezhou, which was also Wang Daoming's strategy.

At the moment, there are not many places they are passing through, and more and more people will know that he Yang Jing is still alive and is going to Beijing to ask for an explanation.

The more people who know, the safer Yang Jing will be.

Because at this juncture, if Yang Jing is assassinated, the more pressure Jia Yidao and Zhao Yun need to bear from public opinion!

If Yang Jing is assassinated, it can only show that Yang Jing was indeed wronged by them, and when the time comes, I am afraid that if Yang Jing does not need to rise up, these people will spit and drown them!

The so-called those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Zhao Yun will not understand this truth, and they will not be stupid enough to assassinate Yang Jing on the street.

Therefore, whether it is Wang Daoming Yang Jing or Jia Rudao Zhao Yun, they know very well in their hearts that if they want to assassinate Yang Jing, the opportunity is only in these few days.

If Yang Jing is allowed to move forward, more and more people will know that Yang Jing is still alive and that Yang Jing is going to Beijing, so they will not dare to assassinate Yang Jing again.

And this also shows that Lu Wenhuan's Xiangyang defenders are also about to come, because after passing Ezhou, the Xiangyang defenders will be beyond their reach.

Lu Wenhuan is not an honest person, this has been shown by many signs, since he guarded Xiangyang, the imperial court has begun to pay attention to him.

Zhao Yun even had to doubt Yang Jing, he would naturally not be so relieved of Lu Wenhuan, if the authority given to Lu Wenhuan was too great, Zhao Yun was also worried about this, and if he wanted to besiege Yang Jing, he would not succeed, but let Lu Wenhuan have the opportunity to rebel, then it would be a big loss.

Therefore, Lu Wenhuan's Xiangyang defenders can only make a move within a few days, otherwise there will be no chance!

It is precisely because of the analysis of such a possibility that Yang Jing led his brothers and sisters to walk in the downtown to avoid fighting with the dark chazi, which can be regarded as saving some strength for the next battle.

Jiang Manyu and the others had also entered the border of Baling, scattered into the southeast area of Jiangling Mansion, and followed Yang Jing not far away.

However, in order to avoid the local government, they disorganized the formation, and it would take several days to gather people.

In the Song Dynasty, the management of household registration was already very strict, and they had to bring ID cards such as household registration and road guides when they traveled, so many barbarians left the indigenous land and scattered into the Han settlement, which naturally caused a lot of riots.

But when Yang Jing walked through the places he passed by, the people would know that Yang Jing was still alive, and they would also know that Yang Jing was going to Beijing to seek justice, and they knew that these barbarians were supporting Yang Jing, because instead of rejecting them, they helped these barbarians to sneak through!

At this time, the strength of the grassroots people is reflected!

The so-called snake has a snake road, ants have an ant road, although these people have no ability, but the mountain fox and mouse are the best at hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, giving those officers and soldiers who guard the customs some bribes, and the barbarians can cross the border smoothly, there is nothing to worry about at all, not to mention that Li Yu and Zhang Changling and others have been in the vanguard early and opened the way for Yang Jing and others.

Although the market gave Yang Jing protection, it could not protect Yang Jing all the time, because when the market was closed, it was impossible for both merchants and tourists to wander around the streets day and night, and they always had to sleep late at night.

And at this time, it was the beginning of the assassination of Yang Jing by the secret inspectors!

Yang Jing led the women to wander around, not just wandering around, but trying to find a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as their battlefield at night!

After all, they are too few in number, and they need to protect children and some women, so they need a strong fortress!

But where did Ezhou City come from in a place like Ezhou City?
