'Eight wildernesses contend, all nations are connected. ’

Using these eight words to describe Bianjing City, it should be said that it was the Bianjing City in the past, and it is not yet possible to express its chances.

It was once the most magnificent, rich, and fascinating city in the world.

All good adjectives can be applied to it.

But if you take only one of its many characteristics,

It should be 'vitality'.

It used to be the most vibrant place in the world, and Liu Yong said on the Qingming Festival:

The water frolic boat moves, the drinking feast opens, the silver pond seems to be dyed, and the golden embankment is like embroidery. is a prince and grandson, a few prostitutes, often with slender hands; On the day of the imperial city, the night candle of Lantang, millions of hulu, the spring breeze of the painting pavilion, and the ten thousand gu wine...... Don't look for flowers and willows in drunkenness.

It's a pity that it's all a thing of the past...... After the year of Jingkang, when everyone talked about Bianjing again, in addition to memories and hatred, there was only a pity.

This kind of pity permeates the hearts of every Song person, even those who have been to Kaifeng City and heard of Kaifeng City; Naturally, the Jurchens are not included here.

For the Jurchens, this is their trophy, and it is a testimony that they will destroy the invincible Liao State after their rise, and include the Song State with gold and silver everywhere.

After the city was broken, Zong Ze stayed here again and tried his best to resist Jin; When Du Chong completely gave up here, he used ten rooms and nine emptiness to describe Kaifeng City, which had millions of households in the past, and even more conservatively. It wasn't until all the people of the Southern Dynasties retreated to the Huai River that the Jin State had the idea of governing here for the first time.

As a result, a lot of people from outside the gate were moved in.

This dilapidated Kaifeng can be regarded as gradually beginning to recover, although it is still not as good as back then, but it is still a lot stronger than the Shangjing Huining Mansion of the Dajin Kingdom.

When the news of the destruction of Yingzhou City came, it was already the fifth day of the first month of October, and more than ten days had passed.

And the first person in Kaifeng City to receive the news was Su Shi Lie Zhining, Su Shi Lie's family is the hereditary Meng'an, and Su Shi Lie Zhining is the eldest son in the family, if he is a Han Chinese, then it should be said that he is proficient in Wen Taowu and Wu, but he is a Jin man, so it can only be said that he is both civil and military.

It just so happens that his wife is the county lord of Yong'an in the Jin Kingdom, and it just so happens that this county lord of Yong'an is the daughter of Wanyan Wushu.

So it just so happens that Zhining is the favorite son-in-law of the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom.

Why is it a favorite, because his brain spins fast.

It was precisely because of his fast brain that when he received this urgent report that should have been received ten days ago, his first reaction was disbelief.

The messenger was still in a state of lingering sorrow:

"As early as a month ago, the right prime minister sent a letter to ask for a pair of saddles, and he must have the skin of a calf that has just been full moon, saying that only in this way can he be invincible."

"But the villain couldn't find it in Kaifeng City for a while, so he had to find a family that had just had a cow cub, and waited for a month, so he delayed these days."

"But I was thinking of sending it to the right prime minister in person, and before I entered the city, I saw the Han army flag hanging there, and the villain was worried that there was a mistake, and he mixed into the city with a few peers, and then he knew the reason."

The man seemed to think of something painful, and paused for a moment before he continued:

"Nanban dug a big pit outside the city, and the villain just arrived that day, and he met them, and they pushed the Dajin soldiers in......"

He swallowed his throat: "I'm afraid there must be two or three thousand!" was buried like this, and Nanban was also a little inhumane...... The general should report to the fourth prince quickly, so as to avenge my big golden erlang! ”

Zhi Ning thought for a while, and then put the knife on his neck:

"How to punish for lying about the military situation, you should have a plan in your heart."

Where did the man dare to say no, just keep repeating:

"There are numbers, there are numbers! What the villain sees with his own eyes, he naturally counts! ”

And seeing him so sure, Zhi Ning let out a long sigh.

If this is false, how good it would be.

The fourth prince attached great importance to Yingzhou, in addition to the fact that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also because it was close to the Huai River, which was the strategic center of gravity for the fourth prince to fight against the Song people.

With here, no matter how far the soldiers of Lianghuai and Xiangyang push forward, as long as Yingzhou is not lost, it is possible to cut off the retreat of the Song people at any time.

There are so many troops in their forces, and the deeper they push, the more dangerous they become.

In this way, the three kings were sent over to keep an eye on ...... But now that the time is calculated, it is only a little more than a month, and Yingzhou is lost.

Before the chess game carefully arranged by Yan Wushu started, he made a game of chaos, what kind of reaction he would have, Zhining could probably already imagine it.

took this person all the way into the palace of the year, fortunately, the father and son of the Zhao family surrendered happily, and most of the buildings in Bianjing City are still well preserved, although many people died, but now they can't smell the stench anymore.

All the way to the north, until the Wende Palace, which was the place where the emperor of the Southern Dynasty rested before and after the last dynasty, the fourth prince's personal soldiers said that he is here now.

But looking at the closed door of the main hall and the guards with embarrassed faces on both sides, Zhi Ning had already guessed something, and silently took the man to the side.

The sound insulation effect of this hall is not very good, and the movement inside is transmitted to the outside, and everyone can hear it clearly.

"This ...... Inside is ...... Your family, your father...... Elder Brother's ...... Place, in your home...... Are you more ...... Jolly. ”

The man's voice was deep and panting...... You don't have to think about it, you know what the fourth prince is busy with now.

The person who came to report the news was just a craftsman, where did he have the opportunity to come into contact with the fourth prince, let alone the current scene.

Just thinking about it, the fourth prince is nearly sixty years old, but he still has such a spirit...... Listening to the voice of the woman there, it was really like ascending to bliss.

Looking through the crack in the door, I could only see a man as strong as a bear struggling, and in front of him was a woman lying on his stomach, and he couldn't see clearly.

"Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear."

Zhining's words reached his ears, and this person immediately put away his thoughts and looked at the sun with everyone.

After a while, the movement inside gradually became smaller, the door was opened, and Zhining waited for another cup of tea before walking in.

"Daddy, there's an emergency."

At the beginning, despite the preparations, he was still mistaken by the Song people.

But it is precisely because of the preparation that the Jin soldiers reacted quickly, and now all places have reached the stage of stalemate, such as when Han Shizhong went down three places in a row on August 15, he will never appear again.

On the contrary, Yue Fei and the others who Wanyan Wushu cared about the most were besieging Ruzhou, and he had already sent reinforcements over, so Han Shizhong took Haizhou, and now in the face of the past reinforcements from Jinan Mansion, he only has the ability to protect himself, and he can't move forward anymore.

And the other minions of Lianghuai, except for taking Suzhou, there is no other news.

So...... The bear sat down on the chair above, took the wet handkerchief and wiped his sweat, and the woman with him was still standing beside him, but in a different role, and now made tea for him.

"Is it Ruzhou? I said a long time ago that I would go in person, you have to refuse, now it's okay, there are more of these incidents! ”

Just listening to the tone of his voice, it was almost the same as the old man in the neighborhood, but the voice was a little louder.

Zhining didn't sell the bend, and gently spit out two words from his mouth:

"Yingzhou."

'Smack~'

The tea bowl that the fourth prince had just brought up fell to the ground before it could be put into his mouth.

Zhining took a step back and motioned for the man to pass by again.

The man made a gesture and hurriedly told what he had seen.

'Smack! ’

At this moment, it was the voice of the fourth prince on the case.

"He's messing up my military spirit, Zhining, you can believe that!"

"There are 50,000 elite soldiers in Yingzhou, and there is Tiefutu there, how many days have the three of them passed? Even if it's three pigs, it's impossible to lose Yingzhou so quickly! ”

And ......" Maybe he persuaded himself, and Wanyan Wushu gradually calmed down, "Yingzhou Yingshui goes directly to Kaifeng, I don't believe that no one escaped, and I don't believe that it will take so many days to reach this Kaifeng!" ”

The person who came to deliver the news immediately knelt down:

"This is true, the villain doesn't dare to hide it, don't dare to tell lies!"

"That's right!" The man slapped the door of his head, almost forgetting the most important thing, he hurriedly said: "Emperor Song, the Emperor of Song personally led his troops there, and he is still in Yingzhou City!" ”

Hearing this, the fourth prince laughed.

If there were only five points of disbelief before, now it is ten points.

He put his hand on the buttocks of the woman next to him, and said softly:

"Look, they say that your ninth brother has such great ability, do you believe it?"

This woman was extremely beautiful, she didn't speak, just shook her head, and continued to make tea for Wanyan Wushu.

"Look, even she doesn't believe her, how can I believe your nonsense!"

As he spoke, he stood up and said to Fu Shi Lie Zhining:

"Chop this man into eight pieces and throw him in the garden to feed the fish."

As soon as the words fell, a burly man walked in and saluted the fourth prince.

If Pharmacist Guo was here, he would definitely scream...... This is not an outsider, it is the Wanyan Alu who used to attack the Song Dynasty with Wanyan Zongwang, who took the first victory in the Song and Jin battles with two schemes.

This time, after Yan Wushu went south, he was the first person to cross the Yellow River.

And now, he is the commander of Henan Road and the parent official of Kaifeng Mansion.

"What's wrong?"

Aru Bu looked at the fourth prince, his expression was colder than that of Zhining on the side:

"Something happened in Yingzhou?"

He didn't answer the fourth prince's question, but asked a rhetorical question.

Wanyan Wushu's smile disappeared, and he said in a deep voice:

"Why do you ask?"

Another question, if you answer the question with questions, it will never come to fruition.

Aru paused, beckoned to the outside of the hall, and a soldier with a wooden pallet came.

"Someone left this outside the south gate today."

He lifted the cloth, revealing a human head.

"Sudden closing speed?!"

The fourth prince almost fell from above, and he staggered to the man, his hand trembling slightly, trying to touch the man's head.

But he finally didn't, just looked at the person that Zhining brought...... The craftsman knelt on the ground, a little overwhelmed,

"The ...... of the Fourth Prince"

"You just said that the emperor of the Song Kingdom is also there?"

"Yes, yes, yes! The southerners of Yingzhou City all said that he was there! ”

'Smack~'

There was another crisp sound, and the woman who made the tea threw the freshly brewed tea bowl to the ground again.

……

Song, Yingzhou City.

Liu Bang looked at the person in front of him a little speechlessly, his brows were wrinkled several times, and his teeth were bitten and bitten, which stopped the urge to punch this person.

Liu Ziyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, personally ran from Lin'an to Yingzhou.

Half a month ago, after receiving the news that the city of Yingzhou was broken, the emperor broke the Tiefutu, beheaded the two kings, and surrendered to Han Chang, the entire Lin'an court boiled like a pot of hot oil dripping with cold water.

Not to mention the Jin people, the Great Song Dynasty has been founded so far, the south, the north and the west have been fought everywhere, only this battle is the most enjoyable, but also the most influential, the battle of Yingzhou, should be the first since the founding of the country.

Of course, happy is happy, in addition to the golden people, there are also sad people.

For example, Hu Quan, the third envoy, as soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he asked for one million money, saying that it was to be used to reward the soldiers.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, this million money is not nothing, and you can take it out, and in your heart, Yingzhou's victory can also afford this million.

But what about other places?

Han Shizhong took Haizhou, Yang Yizhong and Zhao Mi took Suzhou, and Yue Fei who was besieging Ruzhou, which of these people was not the master who was waiting for dinner with his mouth open?

Besides, once Yingzhou wants so much, when the Jin people are really driven out, will it cost 10 million, 10,000?

No matter how rich you are, you have to save some money, don't you?

In the past, I always lost battles, but I only felt aggrieved and distressed.

Now, the victories are one after another, and a few old men in the court have realized what ......

Sweet burden.

Hu Quan was worried about his beard, so he invited Liu Ziyu to persuade this Zhao official that the days to come will be long, don't give Quan Ho at once.

Liu Shangshu is also a cheerful person, he rushed over non-stop, greeted and saluted, and the first sentence was:

"Last year, Yue Feike returned to the counties, and the reward for the whole army was only 200,000, and today the official family will ask for one million, is it a bit of favoritism?"

Liu Bang is boasting to Han Chang, saying how the Great Song Dynasty is rich, and your dog's abandonment of darkness will be indispensable for your benefits in the future.

It just so happened that Liu Shangshu came to such a play.

You say he can not be angry.

But he was angry, he also knew what Liu Ziyu's group thought, knew that they were worried about the country, and it was not easy to say something ugly.

He pulled Liu Ziyu to the end:

"It's not all a reward, is there any other use...... One million, I still said it in my own right, you don't have to be stingy, it's rare for Lao Tzu to open his mouth once. ”

Liu Ziyu's eyes made a profit: "Do you want to build a palace here?" ”

"Repair...... What to repair, there are other uses! ”

"Then you can say it, the minister and Zhao Xiang will sum it up."

Liu Bang paused, pointed to the people who were carrying the burden outside, and said:

"Lao Tzu wants to dig a tunnel, and these people are not allowed to pay people?"

"Authentic? What authentic? ”

"Tunnels from the city to the outside of the city! Think about it for yourself, the Jin people know that I am here, don't they have to send a large army immediately? If Lao Tzu can't beat him, then he can't leave a way back for himself? ”

Liu Ziyu waved at him and said, "Official, then go back, you have done this, it is already very good, very good." ”

Liu Bang ignored him: "The more than 20,000 people brought by Han Chang don't have to pay their military salaries, this is to be counted." ”

"And the people who helped Uncle Liu Xin defend the city last year were liquidated by the Jin people, and they were not allowed to give pensions?"

"And the fortifications...... The arrow tower and the gatehouse will be built more. ”

"And I dress and eat every day, if I fall in love with a lady from which family, I can't give a dowry to others?"

"And ......"

Liu Ziyu couldn't bear it anymore: "The minister knows...... But Your Majesty, have you ever thought about putting yourself in such a situation? ”

"What if?"

Liu Bang smiled: "Naturally, I have thought about it, so I also have something to say to you." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, Liu Shangshu looked at him in disbelief.

"This ...... Are you overthinking? ”

"Don't worry about it, it's just in case."
