278 Martyrdom 07
Seeing this situation suddenly, Shangguan Yun's heart couldn't help but feel cold, and he stepped forward and asked, "Fathers and elders, why are you all wearing mourning clothes, what happened?"
An official in his forties walked out of the crowd and wept bitterly: "Three days ago, those Jurchen Tartars had split into two ways and taken the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor captive, they had all the savings of the treasury, and they had also taken away all the young men and women in Bianliang City. β
Another old man hated and said: "Not only that, Wanyan Zonghan also allowed his soldiers to burn, kill, and plunder, and the lives of the Tartars were ruined wherever they went. Not to mention the destruction of the houses outside the city of Bianliang, from Liuzi in the east, to Xijing in the west, to Hanshang in the south, and to Heshuo in the north, none of the people in these places escaped from the sword of the Tartars. The Jurchen Tartars committed heinous crimes, and their methods were heinous, and they only hated God for not having long eyes, so that these demons could run rampant. β
Tens of thousands of people were overwhelmed with grief, everyone was crying, all of them were indignant, some beat their chests, some grabbed their ears and pulled their hair, some gritted their teeth, and some opened their eyebrows angrily. Although the Zhao clan of the Great Song Dynasty is not good, the Han people in the world are still convinced, and the actions of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan really make the Han people in the world heartbroken.
In the past few months, Shangguan Yun has seen the evil deeds and cruel methods of the Jin people, and then experienced the fight against the Jin Bao Song with Yue Fei and others, and he has gradually recognized himself as a Han Chinese. At this time, he felt empathy, and couldn't help but be furious, he gritted his teeth and hated: "Wanyan's wolf and beast heart, he bullied my Han people too much, Shangguan Yun will not take revenge, and he will be embarrassed." He no longer entered the city, but ran north again, intending to find an opportunity to rescue the second emperor of Huiqin.
Shangguan Yun inquired along the way, and it turned out that the Jin soldiers were divided into two routes, one was the detention of Wanyan Zongwang, including Huizong, Empress Zheng and the princes, imperial grandsons, concubines, princesses, concubines, etc., and went north along Huazhou three days in advance; the other route was the detention of Zonghan, including Qinzong, Empress Zhu, the crown prince, the children of the clan, and several officials who refused to give in, and traveled north along Zhengzhou. Shangguan Yun said secretly: "Wanyan Sect was in charge of Qin Sect before breaking Bianliang, Huizong has been idle for a long time, and the people's desire is still to be the son of heaven, and now if you want to save people, you need to save Qin Zong first, so that he can lead the army and people in the world, and then work together to resist Jin." With his mind made up, he hurried to the northwest.
After walking for three days, when I arrived at Funiu Mountain in the east of Luzhou, I saw a group of people rushing down from the mountain. Although the team of men and horses was only a few thousand, they were as brave as tigers descending from the mountain, and the formation was also rigorous and measured, and the word 'Yue' was written on several large flags. Shangguan Yun said in his heart: "Isn't that the Dongting people led by Brother Yue?" He stepped forward, and saw Yue Fei taking the lead, followed by Zhong Xiang, Yang Mi and others, Shangguan Yun shouted: "Brother Yueββ, Brother Zhongββ, Brother Yang-"
Yue Fei led the men and horses to run over, only to see that his eyebrows were very sad, and his face was also full of fatigue.
Before the mount could stop, Yang Mi jumped down, he held Shangguan Yun's hand, and said bitterly: "Shangguan Sect Master, you have traveled thousands of miles to send a letter to my water village, this great favor Yang Mi will remember for the rest of his life, if you send anything in the future, Yang Mi will never shirk even if he fights for his life." β
Zhong Xiang gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "As soon as the Tartars retreat, we will definitely find Jin Wancheng to avenge this big revenge." β
Yue Fei forced a smile and asked, "Brother Shangguan, I haven't seen you for a long time, how did you get here?"
Shangguan Yun sighed: "I heard Brother Xia say in Dongting Lake that Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan were going to take the Second Emperor away, and I remembered that I had fought with Brother Yue against the Tartars several times before, so I rushed all the way to see if I could stop it." When I arrived in Bianliang, I realized that the Tartar had been gone for several days, and I chased here again to see if there was a chance to save people. Brother Yue, where are you going?"
Yue Fei was stunned and said: "A few days ago, when Yan Zonghan escorted the emperor and them passed by here, we planned to save the emperor from the clutches of the devil and fought a big battle with the Tartars, how could we be outnumbered, and we were afraid that after Yan Zonghan would hurt the emperor's life in anger......" After a while, he said apologetically: "Yue Fei can't save the emperor, so we have to kill a few more Tartars, so let these Jurchen barbarians know that we Song people are not easy to mess with." β
Shangguan Yun knew that his heart must be extremely uncomfortable, he didn't want to let Yue Fei be sad anymore, and said awe-inspiringly: "Brother Yue, Wanyan's captivity of my Great Song Dynasty is really a shame for the Han people in the world, as the saying goes, 'shame and courage', as long as we have the idea of victory and revive the hearts of the Great Song Dynasty army and people, why are we afraid of the cruelty of the Tartars?"
Zhong Xiang and Yang Qi were greatly encouraged, Yue Fei swept away the decline, and said with a strong spirit: "Today's shame of Jingkang, Yue Fei will lead my Great Song Dynasty boy in the future, step through his Jurchen rivers and mountains, eat the flesh of Hulu hungry, thirst for the blood of the Huns, and not avenge the Great Song Dynasty, I Yue Fei swear not to give up." Hundreds of Dongting people led by Yue Fei also said angrily when they heard this: "Take revenge and swear not to give up." I don't want to make such bold words, but in the future, Yue Fei will achieve the eternal reputation of serving the country with loyalty.
Shangguan Yun was moved in his heart, he stood tall and proud, and said proudly: "Brother Yue, Brother Zhong, Brother Yang, I want to go north to see if I can save the emperor back, now the situation is urgent, I can't stay for a long time, and I will gather with a few people in the future." β
Yue Fei was overjoyed and said, "Brother Shangguan is strong in martial arts, if you want to make a move, you will definitely be able to save the emperor." I have nothing to do here, so it's better to go north with Brother Shangguan, and you and I can take care of each other. β
Shangguan Yun saw that Yue Fei was loyal and courageous, and he promised: "Brother Yue is willing to go, that's great, let's set off here." β
Yue Fei said majestically: "Zhong Xiang, Yang Qi." β
Zhong Xiang Yang Qi said in unison when he heard this: "Here!"
Yue Fei ordered: "You still stay here, intercept and kill the past Tartars, so that you can receive us in the future, remember not to attack rashly, and save the lives of our men and horses." After saying that, he asked someone to bring a jujube red horse and let Shangguan Yun ride, and the two said goodbye to the people and horses of Dongting Water Village, and galloped away.
The two rode their horses for more than ten days, and finally caught up with the Jin army led by Yan Zonghan, and looked from afar, only to see tens of thousands of horses and horses traveling northward; along the way, the places where the soldiers passed were all broken walls and ruins, which was really full of devastation, which made people feel even more desolate.
When Yue Fei saw the tragic defeat of the Great Song Dynasty, coupled with the hatred of his family and country, he was really in pain, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and blood flowed from his lips. Yue Fei hated: "The Jurchen Hulu is ferocious, not to mention the kidnapping of my Great Song Emperor, and he also burns and loots everywhere, Yue Fei has worked hard all his life and vowed to destroy him to finish the Yan clan." β
Shangguan Yun said: "Brother Yue, now that Wanyan Zonghan is powerful, you and I should not go to save people with great fanfare, it is better to blend into the Jin army and wait for the opportunity to rescue the emperor." As long as the emperor is saved, Wanyan Zonghan will inevitably be in chaos, and then Brother Yue will be able to lead his troops to slowly figure it out. β
Yue Fei nodded and said, "This is the only way to do it now, you and I don't have to get too close, so as not to startle the snake." β
