180 [Zhixian's last words]
Xie Longwen was still preventing the soldiers from escaping at first, but when he heard the shouts of anti-thieves outside the city, he immediately ran down from the city tower.
In the middle of running, he was still distracted and left the official mansion, yelling: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”
No one paid attention, and all the officers and soldiers ran away.
Xie Longwen wanted to open the door and escape, but without the help of the soldiers, it was difficult for him to open it alone. He didn't dare to waste time, so he escaped into the streets and alleys of the city, and hid over the wall in the firewood house of a large family.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Jiamo quickly took off his cotton armor and ran along the city wall to the north.
According to the original plan, his two surviving family members also came to Beicheng to meet. Tie the rope and hang down, the three of them grabbed the rope and slid down, and quickly escaped into the streets and alleys outside the city.
Seeing several teams of anti-thieves running by, it seemed that they had already entered the city, Yang Jiamo immediately fled with two family members.
When he ran to the moat, Yang Jiamo was instantly desperate, and there were a few anti-thieves guarding each bridge. He immediately retreated back into the streets and headed for the wharf west of the city, where there was no moat, but there was a wide Gan River, and no boats were allowed to dock during the siege.
Although Yang Jiamo's ancestral home is Chongqing, he has lived in Liangzhou Wei for several generations, and he and his two family members are landlubbers.
The three of them took off their chain mail, forcibly removed the door panel of a shop, lifted the door panel and rushed towards the Ganjiang River - they could not escape along the river bank, because there was a moat in the middle, and the moat on both the north and south sides flowed into the Ganjiang River.
Three landlubbers, each lying on a door panel, ran to Nanchang City downstream.
One of the family members, who only floated out for more than ten feet, suddenly lost his balance, and began to pour water with a grunt, flapping his hands indiscriminately and calling for help in horror.
Yang Jiamo was terrified in his heart, let alone paddling, he didn't even dare to move his fingers, so he lay on the door panel cautiously.
The night doesn't argue with the direction, just floats down the river.
"Bang!"
I don't know how far I floated, and the door panel suddenly hit the shore and rolled over.
Yang Jiamo also gurgled and poured water, his whole body sank straight down, his limbs waved in horror, and he tried his best to swim to the surface of the water. Swimming, swimming, swimming straight to exhaustion, Yang Jiamo finally accepted his fate, and then he stepped on the mud and sand.
Try to stand up, the water level is only waist-high, just been busy for a long time, and I don't know who I am fighting with.
Yang Jiamo was overjoyed, hurriedly climbed to the shore, and walked forward along the river. After taking a few steps, I lay down to rest, I was really tired just now, and I poured a stomach full of water.
After resting for a while and recovering his strength, Yang Jiamo continued to hurry.
Walking and walking, Yang Jiamo suddenly fell into the water, and there was actually the Ganjiang River in front of him.
Ghost hit the wall?
Gradually, the sky was slightly bright, and Yang Jiamo finally understood, and he floated to a Jiangxin Continent. And it is a small sandbar, full of barren grass, not even farmland, and there are no residents and ferries.
In all directions, there is river water!
Yang Jiamo wanted to cry without tears, and the dignified general soldier was trapped on a small sandbar.
Yang Jiamo walked around the sandbar and was finally pleasantly surprised to find that there was a port town on the other side of the river in the east.
Jiangxi water network extends in all directions.
This port town is called Xigang Town, and in addition to being close to the Gan River, it is also next to a small river, which is a tributary of the Fu River. Starting from this river, you can go north to Raozhou, south to Fuzhou, and you can also go around the Ganjiang River from the fork road to the north of Nanchang City.
"I have silver, I want to take a boat!" Yang Jiamo shouted frantically at the other side.
No one paid attention.
"I have silver, I have silver!"
Yang Jiamo shouted smoke in his throat, but still no one drove the boat over. The sandbar is more than 300 meters away from the riverbank, and it is also a bustling town, who can hear under the hustle and bustle?
The first day was a long one.
The next day, Yang Jiamo was really hungry and panicked, and began to dig the grass roots to feed his hunger.
On the third day, I finally saw a ship passing by, and it should be Fengcheng County to resume the passage of merchant ships.
"I have silver, I want to take a boat!" Yang Jiamo's shouting was weak.
He had a cold and fever because the night was too cold.
More than a dozen boats passed in a row, and someone must have seen Yang Jiamo, but none of them chose to stop. Because it is easy to run aground near the sandbar, the slightly larger ships do not dare to approach. It wasn't until late in the evening that a merchant ship docked in Xigang Town and let a small boat come to rescue people.
"Multi-...... Thanks a lot. Yang Jiamo passed out directly.
This thing met a kind person, not only saved him from crossing the river, but also asked a doctor to treat the disease.
In a daze, Yang Jiamo opened his mouth to drink medicine, and then opened his mouth to drink porridge.
When he came to his senses, he didn't know how many days had passed, and he was still floating on the boat, and there was a small guy standing in front of him.
"Where is this?" Yang Jiamo asked.
The little guy smiled and said, "You finally woke up, just past Jishui County, and in front of you is Ji'an Mansion City." Listen to your accent, from the north? ”
"Yes, from the north."
Yang Jiamo almost wanted to faint again, and he was about to be taken to the thief's den.
……
Yang Jiamo wrote a letter to lie to Li Maofang, saying that hundreds of his family members were still there.
So, Li Maofang firmly believed that Fengcheng could hold on for a month or two, and wrote a letter asking Zhang Yinghe and Cai Bangjun to surround Wei to save Zhao.
When he learned that Fengcheng County had fallen, Li Maofang had no choice but to withdraw his instructions to Fuzhou. Because the distance is very far, Fuzhou must have sent troops, he can only send a messenger again, if he can catch up, he will call back, and if he can't catch up, he can only sit back and watch the friendly army in danger.
Zhang Yinghe and Cai Bangjun, the two governors, set off with nearly 7,000 people.
All the way to the border of Chongren County by boat, there is no way to take the waterway ahead, you have to pass through the hilly area of twenty or thirty miles, and you have to walk more than twenty miles of flat land.
The recruits of Fuzhou Mansion were directly transferred to the grain carriers.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and after only walking a dozen miles, the first snow of this winter suddenly fell.
Sixty-five-year-old Zhang Yinghe ate and lived with the soldiers, so that he could boost his morale.
But Cai Bangjun, who was young, couldn't brave the snow to cross the hills, so he insisted on moving forward with a sliding pole. And the soldiers under him, because of their poor combat effectiveness, were all thrown to be people's husbands to carry grain and grass.
After only half a day of marching on the hills, the Fuzhou soldiers were resentful and fled directly by a third that night.
The next morning.
Zhang Yinghe found Cai Bangjun: "If you sit in the sedan chair again, the soldiers will escape." ”
"This trip shouldn't have sent troops," Cai Bangjun cried bitterly, "In the winter, how can a group of recruits go away?" Not to mention that it's snowing again! ”
Zhang Yinghe sighed and said: "If we don't send troops, once Fengcheng falls, Nanchang will face the anti-thief army." ”
Cai Bangjun said resentfully: "It's all made up by him Li Maofang, what's the matter with me?" ”
Zhang Yinghe persuaded him: "If you hold on a little longer, it will be twenty or thirty miles, and there will be no steep mountains." ”
Cai Bangjun thought for a while and said, "There is only one way to boost morale. ”
"What's the method?" Zhang Yinghe asked.
Cai Bangjun said: "Tell all the soldiers that when you encounter villages and towns in front, you can plunder and enjoy yourself. Otherwise, why would they leave their hometowns and cross the province to fight in Jishui County? ”
Zhang Yinghe wanted to reprimand him angrily, but he still held back and walked away silently, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
After another day and a half, there were only more than 5,000 soldiers left in the two prefectures, and they finally came out of the mountains to the border of Yongfeng County.
It was still early in the evening, but it was no longer possible to march, and more than 5,000 officers and soldiers dispersed voluntarily, looting property, raping women, and occupying people's houses to sleep.
Another day later, they came to the town where the two rivers meet, and the officers and soldiers rushed directly to the town to plunder.
Only Zhang Yinghe could still restrain hundreds of soldiers, and went to the wharf outside the town to grab more than a dozen small boats, and could barely use the boats to transport a little grain and grass.
Once the opening is opened, it is difficult to constrain it.
Zhang Yinghe did not dare to say that he was the prefect of Guangxin, and claimed to be Li Maofang's troops, and more than 5,000 soldiers rushed all the way to Yongfeng County.
Yongfeng County is under the jurisdiction of Ji'an Prefecture, but Zhao Han has not occupied it for the time being.
The city gate was closed, and Liu Mianzuo, the county governor of Yongfeng, stood in the city tower with a sick body, looking at the officers and soldiers outside the city with an angry face.
Zhang Yinghe personally stepped forward and shouted: "I am under the command of Governor Li, and I am ordered to attack Jishui County, and ask your county to provide grain, grass and ships." ”
"...... Ahem, ahem! ”
Liu Mianzuo covered his mouth and coughed repeatedly, spreading out his palms full of blood.
In history, Liu Mianzuo's eldest brother, Liu Xizuo, died in battle with the rogue. Liu Mianzuo's second brother, Liu Yongzuo, led the troops to stick to Xinghua, and committed suicide by poisoning after the Tartars broke the city.
As for Liu Mianzuo himself, before Zhao Han got up, he recruited 500 troops to suppress bandits.
After exterminating the bandits in the mountains, Liu Mianzuo was injured and left the root of the disease, because he was sick in bed, and did not follow Xie Xuelong to fight at that time.
Then the peasants in Yongfeng County revolted, Liu Mianzuo could only hold the illness and suppress the thieves, and he now has a thousand elite villagers. I saw the governance of Jishui County next door, and suddenly I didn't want to fight with Zhao Han, but I was only willing to lead the troops to hold Yongfeng County.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers outside the city did not leave, and seemed to want to enter the city, Liu Mianzuo suddenly shouted: "Follow my whole army to kill out!" ”
"Ahem, ahem!"
Liu Mianzuo wiped the blood from his palms and marched out of the city.
A thousand townspeople, facing more than 5,000 enemies, confronted each other fearlessly.
Liu Mianzuo roared angrily: "You and others are called officers and soldiers, but they are actually thieves, and they have plundered all the way here, and they are not even as good as the Zhao thieves in Luling." Hurry up and leave Yongfeng County, or I'll kill you out!" ”
Zhang Yinghe and Cai Bangjun glanced at each other, they were all ashamed of themselves, and when the soldiers grabbed some boats at the dock, they led the soldiers down the river to Jishui.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
"County Honor!"
"Hurry up and help the county to return to the city!"
The soldiers panicked and escorted Liu Mianzuo back to the county office.
Liu Mianzuo fought for several years, destroyed several old bandits in the mountains, and suppressed the peasant army of Yongfeng County. The county officials have been replaced a long time ago, and they are all his henchmen.
Moreover, after Zhao Han occupied Jishui, Yongfeng County no longer paid taxes to the imperial court, and all the money and grain were used to train soldiers. Liu Mianzuo took the opportunity to give off his meager endowment, and everyone from the gentry to the common people was in awe of him.
The county was disobedient and had been cut down by Liu Mianzuo, claiming that he had been killed by bandits.
After Liu Mianzuo sobered up, he summoned the master book and the history: "If I die, I will immediately go to Zhao Yan." If there are 1,000 elite soldiers and there is no great evil, Zhao Yan will be reused. Only Zhao Yan can keep the people of Yongfeng County safe, and the rest of the government cannot be trusted. Especially that Li Maofang, I sent someone to Nanchang to investigate, this bastard has made Nanchang Mansion angry! ”
The main book and the canonical history were all promoted by Liu Mianzuo, and through Xie Xuelong, he was officially appointed by the imperial court.
"The county respects don't say much, and it is important to recuperate from the sick."
"Ahem, ahem...... I can't do it anymore, the old injury has dragged on for three years, and I won't survive this winter. Remember, lead the troops to sacrifice the city, and go to the Zhao ......"
"County Honor! Prefectural Honor! ”
