Chapter 2 Inorganic War
Seeing that Qingyun Ling had risen into the air, Wu Jidong took a deep breath, and said to the outside of the building: "Quickly invite the righteous father, Mr. Tan, the seventh master, and the hall master of the road to come here!" Then he turned back to the building and said to Niu Kaishan: "Master Niu, you quickly go and arrange to raise the defense of the village to the highest level." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoStarting tomorrow morning, brothers from all over the country should return to the mountain one after another. You instructed the guards everywhere in the village to be sure to check carefully to prevent any spies from getting into the village. Niu Kaishan glanced at Meng Wuji on the chair, and Meng Wuji nodded. Niu Kaishan hugged his fists, turned around and pedaled out of the building.
As soon as Niu Kaishan came out of the building, with the sound of clothes, a soft voice sounded outside the door: "Snake Hall Road Name Card Ask to See!" Wu Qidong responded: "Road Hall Master Come in!" As soon as Wu Kaidong's voice fell, a figure flashed at the door, and a slightly thin middle-aged man entered the building. I saw him dressed in green clothes, his face was narrow and long, and a pair of eyes were turning, and the cold light was shining. The person who came was the name card of the main road of the Snake Hall. Cheng Bo saw the road name card come in, his eyes narrowed, his forehead wrinkled slightly, and then returned to normal.
Lu Mingka came into the building, and before he stood still, when he saw Meng Wuji on the chair, his face changed, he hurriedly stepped forward, gave a salute, and asked: "Second master, what's wrong with you?" Without waiting for Meng Wuji to answer, he asked Wu Jidong again: "Four masters, why did you even launch the Qingyun Order?"
Wu Jidong didn't answer his words, but said: "Lu Hall Master, you quickly go and arrange to put the warning range of the Snake Hall outside for twenty miles." In the past few days, all the masters, hall masters and helmsmen in the village will return to the mountain one after another, and you let the brothers of the snake hall pick them up along the way. The cottage was ordered to be responsible for keeping an eye on the movements of the officers and troops on the periphery of Daqingshan and strengthening surveillance. Once they find any abnormal movement in the officers and soldiers, let them immediately fly pigeons and send a message to report it. Once the arrangements are made, you can come back here as soon as possible. ”
Lu Mingka didn't say much, hugged his fists, twisted his body, and walked out of the door of the small building. Look at him writhing, like a snake swimming. Chengbo looked at him as he went out, and his brows furrowed even more. Wu Jidong noticed Chengbo's abnormality, smiled bitterly, and said, "Chengbo, the martial arts practiced by the Lu Tang major are like this. Cheng Bo snorted and said, "That's it." Why is the whole person looking more and more yin?"
At this time, Meng Wuji on the chair moved his body slightly, and was about to speak, when heavy footsteps sounded outside the building. Hearing this voice, Wu Jidong said, "My father-in-law is here." As soon as the words fell, the three of them finished the glyph and walked into the building one after another.
The first person, with big ears and a heavy face, looks like he is not young, but he is in good spirits. This person is Wu Jidong's father-in-law, the former owner of Qingyun Village, Wu Dangxiong.
Wu Dangxiong was alone on the left back, with a face full of flesh, a fierce face, and a soft whip wrapped around his waist. This person is the seventh master of Qingyun Village, Xu Sanli.
Wu Dangxiong is a person on the right behind him, with a horse face, a wisp of a goatee on his chin, a small box on his shoulder, and a slight arch on his back. This person, surnamed Tan Mingyide, is the only one enshrined in Qingyun Village. This Tan Yide was invited by Wu Jidong from the mountain a few years ago, and his medical skills are very exquisite. In the past few years since entering the village, unless he encounters seriously injured people, Tan Yide will not make a move easily. Once shot, whether it is serious internal and external injuries, or detoxification and miasma, it is often the hand to get rid of the disease. In the past few years, Tan Yide has gained the reputation of a holy hand in the cottage. Two years ago, it was revered as an enshrinement and settled in the back mountain. After Wu Dangxiong retired to the back mountain, Wu Dangxiong, Xu Sanli, and Tan Yide became companions together. On weekdays, the three of them often drink tea, talk about martial arts, and talk about anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, but they are also at ease.
Seeing the three of them entering the building, Wu Jidong hurriedly bowed his hand to Wu Dangxiong, bowed down and said, "Father-in-law!" His eyes swept over Tan Yide and Xu Sanli's faces, hugged his fists, and said: "Mr. Tan! Uncle Xu!"
Meng Wuji struggled to get up from the chair, but before he could get up, Wu Dangxiong had already stepped forward quickly, holding Meng Wuji's left arm with one hand. Seeing Meng Wuji's image, and seeing Meng Wuji's left hand broken at the wrist, Wu Dangxiong had to open his halberd, and asked angrily: "Wuji, who injured you like this?" Mr. Tan, come and show Wuji!" The second half of the sentence was said to Tan Yide.
Tan Yide glanced at Wu Jidong vaguely. Wu Jidong exchanged a look with Tan Yide imperceptibly. Tan Yide stepped forward and reached out to reach out for Meng Wuji's arm. It seemed that inadvertently, Tan Yide brushed Wu Dangxiong's hand holding Meng Wuji's left arm and said, "Old village master, I'll come!"
After Wu Dangxiong let go of his hand, Meng Wuji was about to speak, Wu Dangxiong said: "Inorganic, let Mr. Tan show you first." Qingyun made me see it. Everything will wait until Mr. Tan has seen your injuries. As he spoke, Tan Yide made a move, and had already checked Meng Wuji's left wrist, neck vein, complexion, eyes, and back wounds, and then said to Wu Dangxiong: "Old village master, Meng Dangjia's external injury, in addition to his left hand, the wound on his back is also very deep, and it has injured his muscles and bones. I gave Meng Dangjia some medicine, and it was not difficult to temporarily stop the deterioration of the wound, but it was not easy to recover completely. ”
After a pause, Tan Yide continued: "Also, Meng Dang's internal breath is disordered, and the color of his eyes and face is different, as if he has been hit by a poisonous kung fu such as a poisonous palm. Speaking of this, Tan Yide asked Meng Wuji: "Master Meng, can you tell you who was injured? After that, he took out two pills, fed them into Meng Wuji's mouth, and said, "Take it first and stabilize your internal breath." Meng Wuji took a sip of the water cup handed by Chengbo, tilted his neck slightly, swallowed the pill, and said to Tan Yide: "Thank you, Mr. Tan!"
As soon as Meng Wuji took the pill, the figure at the door flashed, and the road name card returned to the building. The road name card first saluted Wu Dangxiong and others, and then reported to Wu Jidong: "The four masters are all arranged." Wu Jidong nodded, turned his face to Wu Dangxiong and said, "Father-in-law, look, do you want the second brother to tell us what happened?" Wu Dangxiong hesitated for a moment, looked at Meng Wuji, Meng Wuji said: "Old village master, my injury is not urgent at this time." ”
Wu Dangxiong looked at Tan Yide again, saw Tan Yide nodded, and said, "Okay." Inorganic, tell me what the situation is. Say what matters, and let Mr. Tan treat your injuries as soon as you finish speaking. Meng Wuji looked at the door, and walked over to close the door of the small building. Meng Wuji slowly opened his mouth and said something earth-shattering.
It is said that the northerners went south to the Central Plains to fight the grass valley this time, and the northern lord personally took command, gathered all the strong troops, and became 50,000 cavalry. Coupled with the accompanying auxiliary men and horses and the people of Beidiyi who wanted to follow them to reap the benefits, a total of 200,000 troops. The north lord personally led the army, roaring south, and the soldiers pointed directly at the border town of Datong.
The general of Datong is the younger brother of the Zheng family, the prime minister of the dynasty, Qin Mu's favorite concubine, named Zheng Guanjin.
Zheng Guanjin is a person who likes to read military books since he was a child, and he is good at talking about military affairs. He and his friends often talk about the famous generals of the past dynasties, and there is a great meaning that the words can be replaced by the other. This person is actually very happy, and he has no strategy to fight, but he is expensive because of his sister Zheng. Because of his favor for the Zheng family, Qin Mu managed to give Zheng Guanjin the title of General of Guide.
According to Qin Mu's original intention, it was to let Zheng Guanjin lead a group of soldiers and horses, stay in the Beijing division, and live a chaotic life. After a few years of mixing, if you get his title upward, you can become a member of the third grade. However, Zheng Guanjin always wanted to make contributions, and often went to Zheng's activities to get an expatriate envoy. Qin Mu couldn't stand the noise of the Zheng family, so he promoted Zheng Guanjin to be the commander of the border pass, and controlled the soldiers and horses from Datong to Taiyuan. Zheng Guanjin personally led an army of 100,000 and sat in the first important town of Datong.
I don't know whether to say that Zheng Guanjin is lucky, or whether to say that he is unlucky. Soon after he arrived in Datong, he encountered the first large-scale operation of the northerners to fight the grass valley. Zheng Guanjin did not listen to the dissuasion of the deputy general Zhang Xun, personally led the army, lined up outside the city, and wanted to conduct a field battle with the northerners, trying to annihilate the enemy under the city.
As soon as the official army engaged the northerners, they were disrupted by the northerners' cavalry. The northerners broke into the official army formation with tens of thousands of cavalry, like chopping melons and vegetables, and the official army was defeated. Zheng Guanjin himself was almost beheaded by the enemy and captured the flag, but fortunately Zhang Xun and a group of his own soldiers escaped in a dead battle. Datong then fell into the hands of the northerners.
After this battle, the northerners took Datong as a base, and even Keshuo Prefecture and Xinzhou. Millions of people in the Central Plains succumbed to the iron hooves of the northerners. The four seas and nine states, the world is shaking.
Zheng Guanjin was beaten back to his original form in the first battle, and after the defeat, his ambition was lost. Since then, Zheng Guanjin has been like a frightened bird, looking at the northerners and fleeing. After the loss of Datong, he fled south with the officials and troops along Datong, Shuozhou, and Xinzhou, ran for hundreds of miles one after another, and retreated to Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Road, with hundreds of thousands of troops.
The original intention of the northerners to go south this time was to plunder more people and property. Now it is done, but the north lord saw that the official army of the Central Plains was so weak, so he had the ambition of a wolf son and wanted to conquer Taiyuan again. Then, continue to go south from Taiyuan and compete with the emperor of the Central Plains for the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains.
Although Zheng Guanjin does not know soldiers, he also knows the importance of Taiyuan. Once Taiyuan is lost, the north rides south and looks at the south road, which is a horse and a flat river. When the time comes, the northerners will sweep down all the way with their cavalry, and the Central Plains, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, will be really in danger. If the situation really deteriorates to that point, Rao is Zheng family is deeply favored by Qin Mu, and Zheng Guanjin will be unable to bear the wrath of the Son of Heaven for the crime of humiliating the country by losing his teacher. The Zheng family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the doom.
After Zheng Guanjin was defeated in Taiyuan, he began to understand Zhang Xun's strategy, so he asked Zhang Xun for his plan.
Zhang Xun had been fighting with the northerners at the border pass for many years, and knew that the northerners were mainly cavalry, good at running and weak at siege. It was to persuade Zheng Guanjin to hold on to Taiyuan, and at the same time to guerrilla attacks outside the city with a small force of men and horses, waiting for an opportunity to harass the northern army, and only wait for the northern army to be tired before repelling it.
The northern lord personally led the army, stationed troops outside the city of Taiyuan, and tried to attack the city several times. However, Taiyuan City is the capital of Shanxi Road, after many dynasties and many years of operation, the city is tall, and the moat is also several zhang wide. The northerners grew up on horseback, got off the horse, and even ran with their legs looped. If they are to dismount and attack the city, it is precisely because they are short and they are strong in attacking people. Several siege battles were fought, and Taiyuan City stood still. The northerners did not even cross the moat, but instead threw thousands of corpses outside the city.
Later, the northerners did despicable deeds, drove the captive people in front, used the people as shields, and tried to attack the city many times. However, Zheng Guanjin ordered that the officers and soldiers defending the city be shot indiscriminately, and supervised the battle with his own soldiers, and those who did not obey were killed. The defenders of the city wept loudly and rained arrows on the people and northerners under the city. The northerners are still not allowed to break the city.
However, although Taiyuan City is large, more than 100,000 troops are stationed in the city, and they often fight, and the consumption of grain, grass and materials is extremely huge. After a few months, the city's food stocks were depleted. The imperial court had to mobilize grain and grass materials from Shaanxi Road, Henan Road, Hubei Road and other places, and transported them to Taiyuan City in a steady stream.
Seeing that the army could not capture Taiyuan City, the northerners also discovered that Taiyuan City could only rely on the grain and grass materials transported from the hinterland of the Central Plains as supplies, so they sent their masters to assassinate officials and even officials and generals who ran grain and materials, supervised grain and goods, and transported grain and materials in and around Taiyuan City, Shaanxi Road, Henan Road, Hubei Road, etc., and burned grain and grass materials.
The intention of the northerners was to force Taiyuan City to run out of grain, grass and materials, so that the people's hearts were panicked and the army's morale was weakened. At the same time, the northerners bought some green forest people in the Central Plains with a lot of money to help the northern army strengthen espionage, assassination, and sabotage.
It was under this circumstance that Liu Yunfeng, together with Meng Wuji, Tie Zhu, and Dugu Han, led most of the people of the Tiger Hall, the Leopard Hall and the Eagle Hall, plus the good hands of the Bear Hall and the Snake Hall, to Taiyuan City, and together with other heroes from all walks of life who came to help the fist, they cooperated with the officials and soldiers to defend the city.
Zheng Guanjin adopted Zhang Xun's advice and made the heroes of the rivers and lakes who came from all over the country a part of themselves, led by Liu Yunfeng and others, mainly responsible for resisting the masters of the northerners and the people of the Central Plains Green Forest who were bought by the northerners. At the same time, Liu Yunfeng and others used the way of the northerners to govern the northerners, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the generals of the northern army, burning their military tents, grain, grass, and materials, and destroying their combat strength and military morale.
The masters of both sides launched a great contest of assassination and counter-assassination, sabotage and anti-sabotage around Taiyuan City, and gradually opened up a second battlefield independent of the actions of the armies of both sides. For several months, there has been no particularly major fighting between the armies of the two sides, but this second battlefield has intensified. More and more masters were involved on both sides, and the casualties were also quite heavy.
In the past few months, Qingyun Village alone has lost one hundred and ten masters under the master of the Tiger Hall. Jiang Yunbao, the master of the Leopard Hall, was also seriously injured at one point. Many other heroes have also been damaged. At the same time, after this battle, no matter what the results of the armies of the two sides are, I am afraid that the Central Plains and the Northland Martial Arts will also set off a bloody vendetta.
A month ago, Liu Yunfeng sneaked out of Taiyuan City with Tiezhu, Dugu Han and a group of martial arts masters from all over the world, and Meng Wuji was in the middle to dispatch and ambush a group of northerners. As soon as the two sides fought, Liu Yunfeng and others found that although the number of these northerners was only a dozen, they were all extraordinary. Liu Yunfeng and others were taken by surprise, and they were outnumbered by the crowd, and they also lost several masters before they wiped out this group of northerners. Only later did I know that among the annihilated northerners, there was actually one who was the favorite youngest son of the northern lord.
When the northern lord received the news, he was furious and drove tens of thousands of people from captivity in the Central Plains to the outside of Taiyuan in one fell swoop. Just when the officers and soldiers in the city thought that the northerners were going to drive the people as shields again, the northerners cavalry rode their horses and trampled and slashed these people back and forth, and tortured and killed tens of thousands of people. After that, the northerners cut off the heads of these slain people, piled them up outside the city of Taiyuan, and listed them as Jingguan.
After doing these things, the northern lord sent the arrow book into the city of Taiyuan, and demanded that the officials and soldiers hand over the Central Plains master who killed the little prince of the northerners. The northern lord personally folded arrows outside the city and swore that if the officials and troops did not obey, the northern army would not retreat, and it would inevitably break through Taiyuan City. The northern lord also threatened that if the official army did not hand over the people, after the northern army broke through Taiyuan City, it would not seal the sword for ten days, and the city would be slaughtered.
As soon as the northerners made this move, there was an uproar in Taiyuan City. Most of them were aroused by the northerners to have the same hatred and hatred, and swore to live and die with Taiyuan City. However, there are also a few people who accuse the Central Plains Martial Arts of acting recklessly and causing great trouble. If there was no battle and bloodshed of these martial arts warriors in the Central Plains on the second battlefield, Taiyuan City would have already fallen into a Jedi, or it would have fallen into the hands of the northerners. And these people are afraid that they will also become slaves of the country. What's more, there are even some voices demanding that Liu Yunfeng and others be handed over to the northerners in order to calm the anger of the northerners.
In the next few days, there was an eerie silence inside and outside the city of Taiyuan. After the northern lord slaughtered the people and swore an oath outside the city of Taiyuan, the northern army did not make any further moves. The northern army did not move, and Zheng Guanjin did not move, but strictly ordered the officials and people in the city to strictly guard the city, and at the same time strengthened inspections and patrols.
Not only did the armies of both sides die down, but even the martial arts people on both sides, as if they had made an appointment, rarely fought. Such a strange calm, on the contrary, made the officials, generals and people inside and outside Taiyuan City accustomed to having police and roads every night, and there was a sense of depression that the mountains and rains were about to come.
Liu Yunfeng didn't dare to relax even more. After all, the ambush of the little prince of the northerners this time was mainly based on Qingyun Village. The northerners also threatened the people of Taiyuan City with almost crazy means. For a long time, between Qingyunzhai and the imperial court, there were more and fewer wars. Although the imperial court has also tried to recruit Qingyun Village several times, but the successive owners of Qingyun Village have no intention of entering the court as officials, and from top to bottom in the village, there has always been no shortage of people who have a deep hatred with the imperial court.
This time, Qingyunzhai almost poured the power of the village and rushed to the surroundings of Taiyuan to deal with the northerners, one is because the leaders know that there are no eggs under the nest, and they are unwilling to put Qingyunzhai under the northerners' iron horses. Second, the more important reason is that there are many chivalrous people in Qingyun Village. Seeing the invasion of the northerners' army, although everyone did not want to be officials of the imperial court, they were even more unwilling to be a group of slaves of the country. Therefore, although they did not like the imperial court, everyone still threw themselves into killing the enemy inside and outside Taiyuan City without hesitation.
However, even if they are both killing the enemy, the people of Qingyunzhai have little contact with the officials and soldiers inside and outside Taiyuan City. But they hid themselves in various places inside and outside the city, and carried out the work of killing the enemy on their own. The only officer and soldier who has met with Liu Yunfeng a few times is the deputy general Zhang Xun. The two sympathized with each other, and Zhang Xun even revealed the intention of recruiting people from Qingyunzhai to serve in the army. After being politely rejected by Liu Yunfeng, Zhang Xun, who was well versed in the dirtiness of the DPRK, did not think it was resentful, but regretted Liu Yunfeng's righteousness even more.
Liu Yunfeng also likes this fierce general with great talent. came and went, and the two heroes were heroic, and they burned yellow paper, drank rice wine, and worshiped as brothers. Liu Yunfeng is two years older and is an elder brother. Zhang Xun became the second brother. Since then, secretly, Zhang Xun has taken more care of the people in Qingyunzhai. And Liu Yunfeng also spread the important news obtained from the Qingyunzhai spy to Zhang Xun from time to time.
