I don't know if it's everyone's delusion, but I always feel that the closer you get to the river, the more the heat will be.

It has now reached September 15, and a whole month has passed since the Great Song Dynasty fully counterattacked.

In this month, there was no news except for Hanzhong, and the war between the two Huai had almost stagnated, and there was no good news from the beginning.

Han Shizhong said that he would attack Haizhou, but I don't know how long it has besieged, and there is no definite news so far.

Yang Yizhong still put this Sizhou city ...... An almost deserted city was taken down, and now he is stationed in Hongxian with his troops, and he and Zhao Mi are staring at Suzhou.

The recent rumor is that Yue Fei has already fought with the Jin people in Nanyang, but no one knows what the result will be.

As for Liu Jian......

Caizhou is next to Rushui, it is said that Ruzhou sent a large number of reinforcements along the river, and the two Huai generals, only Liu Xinshu has found nothing so far.

It's hot!

Liu Bang and Zhang Jun were playing on the edge of the Yinghe River, and they specially went back to the south of the Huai River and crossed the river from the other direction, not only to avoid startling the snake, but also to wait for Liu Qian.

But he didn't expect this person's movements to be a little slower, this place was only less than four hundred miles away from his mountain, but he was delayed for so long.

The place where they are located is still one hundred and fifty miles away from Yingzhou, whether it is close or not, but far away...... It's just more than half a day's work.

Wang De's father and son are like three loaches, up and down in the water, and none of them are in shape.

His Majesty the Emperor was much calmer in comparison, and found a shaded spot in the river, leaning his back against the bank, and almost fell asleep.

It's comfortable, it's just that it's difficult for Taiwei Zhang to be considerate of the emperor, so he didn't even wear pants, and chased mosquitoes for the emperor on the shore.

This loyalty is rare.

He looked carefully at the former His Royal Highness King Kang, and watched him change from a cowardly young man to a resolute monarch who is now so decisive.

Zhang Jun looked at his own reflection in the river, and then noticed that the hair on both of his temples was gray.

I was about to sigh a few words, but I heard the emperor snort twice, and I didn't know if he was talking in a dream, so Taiwei Zhang asked in a low voice:

"Official?"

"Is the wind back?"

There was no news from everyone, and this kid went to find out the news, and he went to his mother's house for seven days.

Now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, he doesn't know how many people and guards there are in Yingzhou City, and he still doesn't know what the situation of the rest of the generals is.

Like a headless fly, it made him very uncomfortable when he was used to fighting fast.

"There is no news of the commander yet...... Why don't you go back first? This place is not far from Huoqiu, and the old minister is just staring here. ”

"Not back."

The emperor still had his eyes closed, and it was rare to hear that he didn't say foul words to himself, and Taiwei Zhang was still a little unaccustomed to it for a while, but he felt that the emperor didn't seem to be in high spirits.

"Let's talk to me about the situation in Yingzhou."

He's always been like this, and as long as he has something in his heart, it's hard to put it aside.

Even if it is temporarily suppressed, it will roll out at some point.

For example, today, when it comes to today's river, he remembers it all at once.

He seems to have been to this place when he was beating Yingbu.

After staying here for a few days, they went to Suxian, which is now the Suzhou where Yang Yizhong is staring at, and was shot by Dog Day.

Although there is no wound in the body, when I think about it, I still feel a dull pain.

I fell asleep just now, and I dreamed of these things all of a sudden, and I was so interested that there were ghosts.

Zhang Jun didn't know much about that place, but after all, the Battle of Shunchang was the first big victory since Nandu, and the generals had not reviewed it.

Roughly, he could still talk about it.

"When Ouyang Xiu knew Yingzhou, he said that the civil litigation here was simple and the products were beautiful, the soil was thick and the water was sweet and the atmosphere was harmonious, and later Su Dongpo knew Yingzhou, and said that 'the great thousand rose and disappeared in the dust, and I didn't realize who was male and female in Hangying', and then ...... later"

Liu Bang finally opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Jun like a fool.

"What are you talking about?"

Taiwei Zhang looked innocent: "Ying, Yingzhou." ”

"You are talking to Lao Tzu about this, what's the matter? Do you want Lao Tzu to praise you for your talent? ”

"I really don't know what the hell is in the kid's head, no matter how good Yingzhou is, is it something we should care about now?"

"It's not that you look old, Lao Tzu is really ......"

While speaking, the emperor was about to slap it down, which frightened Taiwei Zhang and accused him again and again.

However, seeing that the emperor had returned to his usual appearance, he was more relieved, and said:

"Official, although Yingzhou is not as good as Lin'an, it is much bigger than Shouzhou, especially in the years of war, and it is a place of contention."

"Back then, it was the Jin people who took the initiative to give up this place, and it was obtained by my Great Song Dynasty, if it was attacked......"

Although he suggested taking Yingzhou, to be honest, it was more difficult to fight here than to fight ten Shouzhou or 100 Shouzhou.

What he thought about before was that it was understandable that Yingzhou couldn't be defeated, and no one could blame himself, but if Shouzhou couldn't be defeated, it couldn't be said.

"The three-thousand-pound gate, the knife cart that plugs the door, the urn city...... In addition to the moat, there are basically all the things that are guarded. ”

"In addition, Uncle Liu Xin built a city tower and an arrow tower last year, if we want to attack, we have to outwit it."

Siege of the city, it's nothing more than that, even if there are more tools now, but it can't be separated from the words of its sect.

Water, earth, and fire, choose one of the three.

Let's not talk about the water, if you want to divert Yingshui, you have to go to Xiangcheng to start digging, with that idle time, Liu Bang might as well go directly to open the seal.

Earth...... Choose one of the two options, the bag soil is the whole army with a little soil, and then throw it in front of the city gate, directly throw out a position as high as the city gate, and the army can rush to the city.

It is not uncommon to attack the city, but I don't know how many people are on the other side, and if they rush up at that time, they will be wrapped up by others...... It's really self-defeating.

There is also a method of tunneling, which is a bit clumsy, but extremely useful, and suitable for use during sieges.

The fire is easier to understand, just take the things that Zhang Jun's troops brought this time, the tribulus fireball, the cigarette holder fireball, and the iron-billed fire harrier are all very fresh.

Just a few days ago, when I crossed the Huai River, I used these experiments to blow up a lot of fish.

If you use this thing, not to mention the power, the effect is extremely fast.

Speaking of which, Liu Bang also felt that he had thought a little farther, and now he had not figured out the details of the other side, so he began to think about attacking the city here.

He sat down in the water, submerged himself in the water, and the coldness rushed to the door, which made him sober up a lot.

At this moment, a man ran over quickly.

When he saw Taiwei Zhang who was red on the shore, this person didn't know what was indecent and didn't look at it, so he stared at the old man in a daze, and it was unnatural to see that Taiwei Zhang.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly!"

Only then did the man react, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The young general is from Yingzhou!" ”

These words were said loudly, which made several people in the river shake up, especially the father and son of the Wang family, who were rusty when they stayed here.

Liu Bang also came out of the water, staring at the one who came to report the news, but asked about something else.

"What about the wind?"

When this man heard the emperor ask about this, his expression darkened, and then he immediately said:

"Back to Your Majesty, we have just entered the city...... The commander was arrested by the Jinren. ”

Liu Bang frowned: "Recognized?" ”

"It should be that there is no ......" this man told him about the experience of the past few days, and everyone understood it.

It turned out that they had arrived in Yingzhou on the first day, but the Jin people checked very strictly, and not a single person entered the city.

When they asked someone, they learned that now as long as they came into the city from the south, they would be beaten up and then locked up, regardless of the reason.

In this way, they made a detour to the west, and the result happened that Liu Jian captured Caizhou, and the people who came from the west also ended up with the same fate as the south.

As a last resort, Chongfeng took them around for three days until they reached the north, and then entered the city from the north.

However, there were very few people in the city, and there were almost no shops on the road, so whenever they asked about the situation in the city, the people immediately kept their mouths shut and kept secret.

In desperation, Chongfeng inquired about a family that helped Liu Jian defend the city in the past, and the man had been killed by the Jin people.

But the woman was dumb......

In the end, it was still in the gambling stall, and I got acquainted with a few Jin Liao soldiers, and I learned some inside information.

Jin Guo has 50,000 horses in Yingzhou, and the leader of the troops is the three kings under the command of Wanyan Wushu.

Originally, it was almost here, but when I heard that the leader of the army was the Dragon and Tiger King, I couldn't hold back the wind a little.

The one who killed the seed master and cut off his head to invite merit, after all, is still a golden man.

In the past, Zhang Jun was regarded as an enemy, just because there was no way to take revenge on the Jin people.

And now there's an opportunity......

"The commander only said, thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and beg Your Majesty...... Treat the concubine well, and he will repay your kindness in the next life. ”

"Report a fart!"

The emperor was obviously a little angry: "What kind of waves can he afford to make alone in that city?" ”

"It's nothing more than giving away my life for nothing! Stupid, stupid, stupider than Zhang Jun! ”

I heard that Liu Jian had already taken Caizhou, and estimated the time, this person should be almost there.

This time, 30,000 people were left in Shouzhou, and another 10,000 people were waiting south of the Huai River, and Zhang Jun's remaining 30,000 people, as well as the 5,000 people he brought from Lin'an, were much smaller than the Yingzhou Jin army in terms of numbers.

And if Liu Jian leads the troops, he will not be like himself, and he will make a detour to the south again, and he will inevitably be discovered by the Jin people.

Liu Bang gritted his teeth and commanded:

"Get dressed, go straight away, fuck so much!"

Everyone received the order, and without the slightest slackness, they immediately moved.

Only Taiwei Zhang...... Liu Bang looked at him, the old man lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

He was about to ask him, but he suddenly raised his head and asked the messenger:

"Sudden Convergence Speed...... Is it really in that city? ”

While asking, he only felt that fifteen years ago, the old general with white hair and beard was in front of his eyes at this time,

Look at him.

……

"That's what you eat on weekdays?"

As soon as he asked the question, he immediately reacted.

The woman was dumb and could not speak, nor could she hear herself.

It was only when I saw that she kneaded the dough for a long time, and finally worked hard for an hour before she got a piece of black dough.

Although the style of planting did not accompany the emperor for a long time, but in the past, when the people resisted gold, after all, the caste, although the degree of use is not as good as that of large families, it is much better than ordinary people.

I've seen this kind of thing, but I've never eaten it.

Now Yingzhou City is investigating tightly, and he has been staring at it for a few days and has not seen a figure of Tuhesu.

The inn didn't open either, so I had no choice but to stay in this house first.

Although the family didn't agree, they didn't object anyway, although they also knew how to avoid suspicion, but when it was very timely, they should act cheaply.

He has already embraced the heart of death, and no matter whether he succeeds or not, there will be no way out.

When he dies, there will be no gossip.

He came out with a small piece of broken silver from his waist, put it on the stove, and divided half of the bread from her hand.

"When it's too late, you go and buy more vegetables and meat for preparation, and this money will be regarded as the food money I paid."

This bread ...... There is no taste other than the smell of smoke.

No salt or sugar, but it's okay to fill your stomach.

Half down, another bowl of water, the kind of commander only felt that his stomach was swollen, as if he hadn't eaten like this for a long time.

After eating, he climbed the wall again...... The streets were still empty, except for the occasional group of golden soldiers passing by, and they couldn't even look at a dog.

After all, she was still a young man, so she couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and when she went to the courtyard to fetch water, she commanded one to turn over...... One followed beautifully and landed on the ground.

"I'll help you!"

snatched the bucket from her hand, and was as agile as a monkey.

"Don't worry so much."

"Your Majesty our Emperor......" he dragged the rope in one hand, and a bucket full of water was slowly pulled up, "and it is coming soon." ”

"When the time comes to enter the city and drive out these golden dogs, you will live your life as well...... The man in your family lost his life for Liu Du, and he will inevitably give you a bereavement pension when the time comes. ”

"When the time comes, find a reliable man, don't you have to go on this day, how can there be a living person who is ......"

He hates planting rain and nagging the most on weekdays, but he doesn't realize that he is also a mother-in-law when he talks.

But before they could finish speaking, the gate was kicked open, and the sticks of the other door broke into several knots and fell at their feet.

Chong Feng looked at this group of uninvited guests, and the hand holding the rope couldn't help but pull tighter.

But soon, the uncertainty on his face flashed, and he smiled:

"Big brother, what are your orders?"

The man at the head had a booklet in his hand, and instead ignored the style, but asked the one beside him...... This person is a neighbor who turns left when he goes out.

"It's not that the man in his family is dead, who is this person?"

The neighbor was also curious, and asked Xiang Chongfeng: "Who are you?" ”

"I ...... The villain is her younger brother, it's not my brother-in-law who is gone, come and help my sister. ”

"Brother?"

The leader smiled and said, "You came by chance, what did your brother-in-law do, you know it yourself, right?" ”

"I know," he said, nodding, "but he's dead." ”

"People are dead, but the debt is not yet gone!"

This person is obviously a Jin Hanjun, who speaks Chinese much more fluently, and has no other weird tones.

"Now that you have come just in time, the king is going to build a few more arrow towers, you should sell the strength on your body for your dead ghost brother-in-law!"

"If you do a good job, I may be able to reward you with some money, but if you don't do well...... Hum. ”

He didn't continue, he didn't have a chance to get in touch with the sudden speed, and it was the drowsiness that met the pillow.

didn't even hesitate, and immediately agreed.

"It's time to go, it's time to go!"

"You kid knows each other."

After searching so many homes, this person was the only one who didn't cry or make noise, and the military leader was quite satisfied with him.

But......

He didn't know what it meant, but he heard the man say:

"In the final analysis, your sister is the one who is in charge, and she can't get out of this matter."

"It just so happens that there are a few things missing in the army to relieve boredom...... Hey. ”

Chong Feng was shocked, and hurriedly retreated:

"Big brother give up mercy! My sister can't speak or listen to her ears, so asking her to go will waste my eldest brother's rice, so I'll go and serve the king. ”

"you!"

The military leader slapped him in the face: "I thought you kid knew each other, and you were also a brain-filled thing!" ”

"Do you have something under your crotch? Can you do your sister's work for her?! ”

"This is what happened to her man when he helped the southern thief! Your family should have thought that today is the case a long time ago, what are you doing in front of Lao Tzu now?! ”

Chongfeng still wanted to speak, but was helped by the neighbor and said:

"That's it! I said back then, helping the southern thief fight against my Dajin is a dead end! ”

"It's a pity that there weren't many people like me at that time, otherwise, I would have fought with the southern thieves back then!"

He spoke with awe-inspiring righteousness and righteous indignation;

The wind was held by several people, and he couldn't move;

The woman was like a piece of wood...... She couldn't hear the sound, so she didn't know what was happening.

She was just allowed to be tied up by someone, and she was dragged outside like a leading animal.

His eyes seemed to be spurting blood, but his fists were no match for his four hands, so he had to spit in the neighbor's face.

The man wiped it with his sleeve, and was immediately furious, and looked at the face of the military leader again, and then hit the head of the wind with a punch.

"Dog's day, dare to be rampant!"

As he spoke, he smiled and said to the military leader:

"That Yan Erniang was a famous beauty in Yingshang before, but it's a pity that after her man died, she became deaf and dumb now."

"The general took her there this time, but she can enjoy it and wash away some fatigue."

The military leader stroked his chin: "Well, you don't have to worry about this." ”

"And so, the villain retired."

"Retirement? Where to retreat? ”

The man was stunned for a moment, but the smile on his face was still undiminished, but he was much more enthusiastic:

"Naturally, I went home, so as not to cause some trouble with the military masters."

The military chief put his hand on his shoulder:

"Since you are a reasonable man, you should serve the king."

"There are really few people repairing now, so you should have the strength to go with us."

The man's smile froze on his face: "General...... Mo is not joking. ”

"Who has that spare time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two familiar voices coming from outside.

"Daddy!"

"Xianggong!"

He looked at the military leader with some trepidation, and the latter laughed instead:

"Your lady and daughter should go with you."
