Chapter 28 Escorting grain and grass, meeting heroes in a war

In the middle of May of the tenth year of Shaoxing, Emperor Song Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty received an urgent military situation from Shunjing Liu Qi, and issued several edicts to Yue Fei, ordering Yue's army to support Shunchang quickly, and at the same time said that Yue Fei was allowed to raise troops to the Northern Expedition to recover the lost territory. Yue Fei received the edict, that is, he first sent Zhang Xian and Yao Zheng to lead the troops eastward to contain the Jin army to relieve the siege of Shunchang, and then personally led the main force of Yue's army to the north to attack the Central Plains.

On the way back to the division, Zhang Xian and Yao Zheng received an order from General Yue Fei: since the siege of Shunchang had been lifted, the two generals quickly led the troops to the northwest and seized Caizhou to contain the Jin soldiers, and the main force of Yue's army then came to Caizhou to rendezvous.

Zhang Xian gave the general's order to the soldiers, heard that Marshal Yue had sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and heard that Liang Xing, Sun Yan and other generals had led the guerrilla army to cross the Yellow River and go deep into the rear of the Jin soldiers.

Zhang Xian immediately ordered the whole army to march towards Caizhou.

The Yuejia army marched quickly, and arrived at the city of Caizhou in two days.

At this time, after the Jin army Wushu was defeated by Liu Qi in Shunchang, he and the Dragon and Tiger King suddenly retreated to Kaifeng, and ordered Han Chang to guard Yingchang Mansion and Alu, the capital of the three roads, to supplement Yingtianfu, in an attempt to resist stubbornly, and it was Zhai Qu Yanying, the general of the Jin soldiers who had just been defeated in Shunjing, who had just come out of the shadow of defeat when he heard the news that the Yue family army was coming to the city.

As soon as Zhang Xianjun arrived at the city of Caizhou, he set up a formation and was ready to attack the city.

Qu Yanying in the city hurriedly met the battle, and when he saw that Yue Fei was not coming in person outside the city, his heart calmed down a little, and he organized soldiers to strengthen the city wall while sending people out of the city to ask for help.

In order to find out the strength of this Yuejia army, Qu Yanying sent his deputy general Ko Hongji out of the city to meet the battle, and within a few rounds of fighting, he was cut off by Zhang Xian and snatched back a life under the desperate efforts of all the sergeants.

Qu Yanying was furious, and sent a thousand commanders and ten centurions out of the city to meet the enemy, the thousand commanders were beheaded by Yao Zheng under the horse, Zhang Xian waved the army to kill, ten centurions were killed six, more than half of the Jin soldiers who went out of the city were killed and wounded, Qu Yanying had to close the city gate, and no longer dared to send a soldier out of the city.

Yue's army has always been known for its surprise victories, and Zhang Xian consulted with Yao Zheng and decided to immediately prepare to attack the city to prevent the arrival of Jin reinforcements.

Zhang Xian arranged the troops on the one hand, and asked Pan Bao to hurry up and transport the military rations.

Xiao Linger and Qu Bingru were arranged to escort grain and grass, followed by Zhang Xian's army, Zhang Gendarmer was very fast, arrived in Caizhou City one day in advance, Xiao Linger and Qu Bingru under the leadership of Gao Hecheng, the grain and grass escort officer, held 20,000 stones of grain and grass all the way to stop and go, there was still half a day before Caizhou, the troops came to a mountain, Tanaka said: "We are not far from Caizhou, take a rest here, and then set off." ”

Xiao Ling'er looked around and said to Gao Hecheng: "Is there a general, I see that the terrain here is dangerous, I am afraid that I can't stay here, grain and grass are the most important materials in the army, so you can't be careless." ”

Gao Hecheng glanced at Xiao Ling'er: "You kid has a big breath, you have only been in the army for a few days, and you have learned to teach the commander a lesson, besides, we are playing the banner of the Yue family's army, which thief dares to come, and the soldiers of the Yue's army usually carry three days' food per person in order to march and fight, so it's not too late for us to take a rest and leave." ”

Qu Bingru came over and said to Xiao Ling'er: "We have been in the Yuejia army for the past few days, from the general to the soldiers, we are all amiable, we have never seen such a general, don't pay attention to this person." He pulled Xiao Ling'er to the side.

Xiao Ling'er still wanted to say something, but when she saw that all the soldiers carrying the grain were resting on the ground, she said to Qu Bingru: "Have you forgotten that we were ambushed by Pan Leopard? ”

Qu Bingru looked at Xiao Ling'er and smiled without saying a word.

Xiao Ling'er was embarrassed: "Why do you keep looking at me!"

"I can't see that after staying in the army for a while, I have grown up. ”

Hearing Qu Bingru say this, Xiao Ling'er smirked embarrassedly: "Don't laugh at me." ”

Qu Bingru said with a smile: "I have been observing you, Uncle Wang is not wrong, you have the style of a general, and you will definitely become a useful person for the country in the future." ”

Xiao Ling'er looked at Qu Bingru, although she was wearing men's clothes, she couldn't hide her innocence and cuteness, thinking back to the days she had gone through, seeing what Qu Bingru had experienced and helping herself, she was moved and uncomfortable in her heart, grabbed her hand, and had something to say in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.

Seeing Xiao Ling'er grabbing his hand, Qu Bingru was taken aback, looked up and saw Xiao Ling'er looking at him, his face was hot, and he hurriedly twisted his head away: "You... What do you see?"

Xiao Ling'er came back to her senses: "I'm thinking about the scene of you wearing your daughter's costume, it's very beautiful." ”

"Is it better looking than it is now?"

"It's better than it is now. ”

"You mean to say that I'm not good-looking now?" Qu Bingru pulled his hand out of Xiao Ling'er's hand, "It's not good-looking now, so what else do you want to see!"

Xiao Ling'er was speechless for a while: "It's not... I mean... It's all good-looking..."

Looking at Xiao Ling'er like this, Qu Bingru laughed: "Fool, I'm kidding you, aren't we in the army now, if we don't have a war, I'll change back into my daughter's clothes and let you watch it every day." ”

Xiao Ling'er hugged Qu Bingru in her arms: "Well, when the war is over, we will go back to Treasure Island and fish and practice together." ”

Hearing Treasure Island, Qu Bingru thought of his father again, with tears in his eyes.

Xiao Linger said: "I'm sorry for reminding you of your father." ”

Qu Bingru bit her lip and hugged Xiao Ling'er tightly, at this moment, Qu Bingru's relatives in her heart are only Xiao Ling'er, the little beggar who stole her horse and saved her.

"Someone's coming, everyone, hurry up. ”

The shouting of a soldier woke everyone who was napping.

Xiao Ling'er and Qu Bingru looked and saw a group of soldiers and horses on the road ahead, about three or four hundred people, and seven people on horseback in front, all holding knives and guns.

Seeing this group of soldiers and horses, Tanaka Cheng turned over and rode on his horse and led fifty soldiers forward.

Gao Hecheng pointed at the spear in his hand: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

A horse came out on the opposite side, and immediately sat a military general with a yellow face, a green dragon knife in his hand, and a battle armor, and hugged Gao Hecheng: "Dare to ask the general is the Yue family army?"

Gao Hecheng raised his head and said in a high tone: "Ask more, don't you see the big flag behind?"

The general smiled: "I heard that the soldiers of the Yue family are kind and humble to others, I think you are taking advantage of the prestige of the Yue family's army and pretending to be famous." ”

Gao Hecheng was furious: "You listen to me, I am Gao Hecheng, the grain officer under General Zhang Xian, the vanguard officer of Marshal Yue's army, get out of the way quickly, don't block our way, otherwise I will cut you down." ”

The general laughed, and raised the Qinglong knife in his hand: "I don't know how high or low arrogant people are, do you think I will believe what you say?" Come on, come on, I see that you have a few catties and taels, and you dare to come and pretend to be the Yue family's army. ”

Gao Hecheng shouted: "Give it to me." “

The soldiers beside him looked up at Gao Hecheng: "General, people haven't troubled us, why should we mess with others." “

"Yes, General, we are transporting our grain, and they follow their path, and they have nothing to do with it. “

Gao Hecheng's face was white and red, and he scolded: "If you don't listen to the order, go back and behead you all." “

Xiao Ling'er asked a soldier next to him: "What is the origin of this General Gao, and why is he so vicious." “

The soldier said: "This is a general sent by the imperial court to supervise the grain and grass, not the Yue family army, in the Yue family army, it is impossible to have such a style of this person, and those who dare to have no one in their eyes like this will have been dismissed or beheaded a long time ago." “

"Oh, got it. “

Xiao Ling'er said to Qu Bingru: "Look, this guy is about to suffer." “

Gao Hecheng saw that none of the soldiers around him moved, holding up the spear in his hand, and he was always about to rush.

Laijiang sat motionless on horseback, and saw Gao Hecheng's spear come to him, with a green dragon knife in his hand, only to hear the sound of "bell", Gao Hecheng's spear in his hand almost flew out of his hand, and his body shook on the horseback a few times before he sat firmly, and his back was cold.

A few men behind him laughed.

Lai pointed the Qinglong knife in his hand at Gao Hecheng: "You are not my opponent, come up with another person." ”

Gao Hecheng looked left and right, except for Xiao Ling'er and Qu Bingru, there were soldiers around him, just because he boasted about Haikou before leaving, saying that it was a trivial matter to escort grain and grass, and he could do it alone, so he didn't bring anyone else, Pan Bao was not at ease, and sent Xiao Ling'er and Qu Bingru to come together, which led to Gao Hecheng's dissatisfaction, thinking that Pan Bao underestimated him.

Xiao Ling'er saw that this general was arrogant, and said to Qu Bingru: "I'll go and meet him." ”

Qu Bingru said: "Be careful, this person's knife skills and weapons are not simple. ”

Xiao Ling'er nodded, urged her to come forward, and saluted the general: "The general is brave, and the juniors have the courage to come and ask for advice." ”

The general glanced at Xiao Ling'er: "You doll is polite, but the knife in my hand doesn't recognize people." ”

Xiao Ling'er smiled and said in her mouth: "Senior, look at the gun." With one move, "the sky is full of stars", the purple rainbow gun flashed out a spear flower, and flew towards the front chest.

Lai Jiang snorted, this kid has a peculiar marksmanship, he shoots extraordinary, the Qinglong knife in his hand opens the posture, only to see a blue light, sealing Xiao Ling'er's spear flower, and then the blade flips, and the Qinglong knife brings up a wind and slashes at Xiao Ling'er's neck.

The tip of Xiao Ling'er's gun suddenly turned, and she ran to the forearm that held the knife, and the general had no choice but to put the knife away and let go of Xiao Ling'er's gun.

Xiao Ling'er withdrew her left hand, held the back of the gun with her right hand, and drew an arc on the tip of the Zihong gun, turning to the throat, which is the "Shadow Moon Streamer" in the Amazing Marksmanship.

Lai Jiang was shocked, leaned back, put his back on the horse's back, dodged the shot, lifted the reins in his left hand, and the war horse under him took a few steps back, came to sit firmly, and said to Xiao Ling'er: "Boy, good marksmanship, come again." As he spoke, he flipped his right hand, and the Qinglong Knife in his hand made a buzzing sound, ready to slash at Xiao Ling'er.

"General Xiahou, slow down. ”

With the voice, a man with a spear in his hand rushed over and said to the general: "General Xiahou, move slowly, wait for me to ask this little brother a few words." ”

The man said to Xiao Ling'er: "Dare to ask the little brother what he is doing is the amazing marksmanship, who are you General Wang Shun?"

Xiao Ling'er looked at the person in front of her a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

At this time, Qu Bing in the back walked up like a horse and said to the man: "Are you General Li He?"

The man was taken aback: "You are ......"

Qu Bingru shouted happily: "You are really Uncle Li He, I am Bingru!"

Li He stared at Qu Bingru for a while, and laughed: "You are really Bingru, you are getting more and more beautiful, I can't even recognize it, hahaha! ”

Qu Bingru told about going to Hangzhou and being injured, and then seeing Li He and others being rescued at the execution ground.

Li He nodded when he heard this, and when he heard Qu Bingru say that he was about to be beheaded and couldn't save him at the execution ground, he was remorseful, and when he saw the head on the city wall and thought it was him, Li He laughed and said: "Silly girl, you were seriously injured at that time, how could you save me, but." Li He pointed to the person who had fought with Xiao Ling'er just now, "If it weren't for General Xiahoulai, we might not be able to escape." ”

"I don't know if this little brother is ......," Li He asked.

Qu Bingru said that he was injured and saved by Xiao Ling'er, and then joined Wang Shunyi's army.

Hearing that Wang Shun had died in battle, Li He sighed: "General Wang is dedicated to serving the country, but his ambition will die before he is rewarded, but it is gratifying that his marksmanship has an heir, and he can be regarded as blinding." ”

Li He waved his hand backwards, and several people on horseback came over together.
