Chapter 35 The generals of Qingzhou City deliberate
After Yan Jiezhong led the troops to capture Dezhou, Chen Zaisheng and Xiao Guangyuan led 6,000 elite cavalry as the vanguard and went to Qingzhou!
It is only more than 800 miles from Dezhou to Qingzhou, and it can be reached in six days. Chen Zaisheng and Xiao Guangyuan led their troops to the Shoal River for half a day, bypassing the Shoal River, that is, to Heiyun Mountain. Chen Zaisheng and Xiao Guangyuan had just led the troops into Heiyun Mountain, and when they turned around a mountain bridge, they suddenly saw six big men holding single knives and fighting around a white-clothed knight. I saw that the white-clothed knight sat on a big black horse, tall and majestic, and a tiger and a tiger, a rare horse! A sword in his hand was even more ingenious, and the blocking and blocking moves were unique, but they did not hurt people's lives!
Chen Xiao and the others led the troops forward for a while, and when the six big men saw the arrival of the Jin soldiers, they hurriedly flew and jumped into the mountains and forests to escape!
Chen Zaisheng drove his horse to the white-clothed knight, and saw that the white-clothed knight was talented, his eyes were like a torch, and his swordsmanship was not weak. Nai stepped forward and asked: "This strong man is good at martial arts, and he asked the strong man your surname, where do you want to go? Why can you kill the six people just now, but your subordinates are merciful? And those six people seem to be killing the strong man!"
The white-clothed chivalrous man replied: "My surname is Yang, and my name is Jianhui! Those six people are just six bandits, and they want to take me from sitting on my horse! I see that those six people are not heinous people, so I can't bear to kill them!"
It turned out that after Yang Jianhui recovered from his injuries in Qingzhou, he told the Lei family father and son about his life experience and how his father was beaten to death by the Jin people in the ring! Although the sword spectrum has been taken away by the hairy golden man, Yang Jianhui has already memorized all the martial arts moves in the "Seven Star Sword Spectrum Map"!
When you practice the "Seven Star Sword Technique" to the sixth layer. Yang Jianhui already knew that he had already practiced the seven-star sword technique to the limit! It was already one level higher than his father's cultivation when he was alive! If he wanted to practice it any further, it was no longer possible, because the sword technique contained in the "Seven Star Sword Spectrum" was indeed too profound, and the more he went to the back, the more difficult it would be! So he planned to go to the Tiger Gate of Dajin Land to find Yang Rufang before making a plan! I don't know if my sister is still in the world? I plan to go to the Humen Gate of Dajindi to find someone first, and if I can find my little sister, my brother and sister can also be reunited! If my sister is no longer alive, I will go to the Kaifeng Mansion to test my martial arts! In order to gain fame and serve the country!"
Lei Dahai said: "Now that the court is a traitor in charge of the government, if there is anything unsatisfactory in the examination of the martial arts in your science field, you can go to Zhang Jun's subordinates! Zhang Jun and I are friends who are irreversible! I will write a letter to you, and I will present this letter when you meet Master Zhang Jun, it may be helpful to you!"
Yang Jianhui heard the words and shot again and again!
Lei Dahai then took out the four treasures of the study in the study and wrote a book with Yang Jianhui!
Yang Jianhui collected this letter, and went to the ancient temple in the south of the city to ask for a hexagram, in order to divinate the girl's bad luck!
The presiding officer in the ancient temple in the south of the city is a monk who can tell people about the past and future, and knows the heavens. The locals asked him for divination and repeated fulfillment, so Yang Jianhui also asked for a hexagram. On the same day, the monk was obsessed with a hexagram in the temple, and he got the wind of heaven!
The eminent monk Xie Zhi said: "The heavenly wind concubine hexagram, the five yang and one yin in the six trigrams, are sleepy elephants! The five elements of the sky belong to gold, and the five elements of the wind belong to wood. There are both sheng grams, and there are also yin and yang. The son of this hexagram is looking for no one this time, but he will be able to see him again in the future! May the son go with the flow, and don't force everything!"
Yang Jianhui paid the hexagram and left in disbelief! The next day, he rode a thousand-mile horse to the gate of Dajindi Mansion. After three days, you will arrive in the Black Cloud Mountain.
But it is said that there are six people in this Black Cloud Mountain who gather to be thieves, and these six people are all good at martial arts, and each of them makes a good knife technique. In this Black Cloud Mountain, he robbed the rich businessmen and giants in the past, but never attacked the common people! Therefore, the six thieves of the Black Cloud Mountain were called the Six Righteousness of the Black Cloud Mountain by the common people!
On that day, the six thieves saw that Yang Jianhui was dressed luxuriously and sat down with a thousand-mile horse! It was expected that Yang Jianhui was the son of a rich family and wanted to take his horse! The six of them then attacked Yang Jianhui in groups. As everyone knows, Yang Jianhui is from the Qingzhou martial arts family, if it weren't for Yang Jianhui's subordinates, these six people would have been in a different place!
The six of them fought with Yang Jianhui for more than 50 moves, and when they suddenly saw the arrival of the Jin soldiers, they abandoned the battle and fled! Yang Jianhui then reined in his horse on the side of the road to make way for the Jin army. But he didn't want to attract the generals of the Jin army to come over and answer.
At this time, Chen Zaisheng heard Yang Jianhui's words and asked: "Yang Gongzi is not only strong in martial arts but also kind-hearted, he admires him very much, I don't know where Gongzi wants to go?"
Yang Jianhui saw that Chen Zaisheng was a golden man and a leading general. Nai Sizhi said: "I only went to Humen, Longhua Prefecture to find my sister's whereabouts. Presumably, this person must have heard of the affairs of the Dajin Jianghu, so why don't I ask this person about the location of the Dajin Dihumen! It would also be a good thing if I could find out about the Dihumen from this person's mouth!" Then he said: "I want to go to the Dihumen of Dajin Longhua Prefecture, and ask the general if he knows where the Dihumen is in Longhua Prefecture?"
Chen Zaisheng said: "Dihumen is in my Dajin is the Taishan Beidou of Dajin Wulin, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knows it. However, a month ago, Dihumen was no longer in Longhua Prefecture!"
Yang Jianhui was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Dihumen is not in Longhua Prefecture, where is it?"
Chen Zaisheng said: "A month ago, the Earth Tiger Gate was eradicated by the Heavenly Wolf Gate. Dihumen no longer exists in my Dajin. I advise Gongzi not to go to Dihumen! If Gongzi's martial arts are willing to join the army, he will definitely be able to command thousands of troops and horses and make meritorious contributions on the battlefield! I don't know what Gongzi's respect is?"
It turned out that Chen Zaisheng had just seen Yang Jianhui fighting with the six bandits, and he had already seen that Yang Jianhui's martial arts were not weak. I want to persuade Yang Jianhui to join his subordinates and develop his strength in the army!
Yang Jianhui replied: "I am a person from the rivers and lakes, and I don't like to live in the army! Thank you for the general's kindness." And ask the general where he wants to go on this trip?"
Chen Zaisheng said: "On the orders of the generalissimo, the army will attack Qingzhou! If the prince wants to join the army in the future, and come to the army to find me! I am the vanguard general of the generalissimo Wanyan Zongwang's subordinates, Chen Zaisheng!"
Yang Jianhui was shocked when he heard this, he never thought that Dajin would start to attack the Song Dynasty again so soon. Hurriedly said to Chen Zaisheng: "Thank you for the general's kindness!"
Chen Zaisheng said that he didn't move Yang Jianhui, and he didn't force it, but pulled out his horse and turned away!
Yang Jianhui rode his horse for several miles, and after the Jin soldiers had exhausted, he said: "Since the Dihu Gate has been eradicated by the Heavenly Wolf Gate, what is the use of me going to Longhua Prefecture? Dajin is so big and the area is so extensive, how easy is it to find someone! Instead of going to Dajin to find someone like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to go back to Qingzhou to help Lei Shibo defend the city! Moreover, Lei Shibo has a life-saving grace for himself, and his kindness is higher than the sky. How can such a great favor not be repaid!
In addition, when my father was alive, he also hoped that he would one day serve the country! Now that Dihumen has changed, and it is a national disaster, it is the time for our generation to serve the country!"
After making up his mind, he hurried back to Qingzhou!
Yang Jianhui was riding a thousand-mile BMW, and the horse's foot range was several times faster than that of ordinary horses. There were more than 800 miles from Dezhou to Qingzhou, and Yang Jianhui only took two days to return to Qingzhou!
When the number of victims outside Qingzhou increased sharply, Lei Ming was leading a team of soldiers and horses out of the city to patrol the outpost, and when he saw Yang Jianhui going and rebelling, he stepped forward and asked, "Why did Brother Yang go and rebel?"
Yang Jianhui said: "I met a team of golden soldiers coming to Qingzhou in Heiyun Mountain, Texas, so I returned first to report this letter to Lei Shibo." Let the soldiers and civilians of Qingzhou prepare as soon as possible and work together to resist Jin, so that we don't know how to resist the enemy when the Jin army and soldiers come to the city of Qingzhou!"
When Lei Ming heard this, he returned with Yang Jianhui. When the two returned to Lei Mansion, Yang Jianhui said to Lei Dahai: "Lei Shibo! I met a group of Jin Army cavalry of about six or seven thousand people in Heiyun Mountain, Texas, and they were coming to Qingzhou. Lei Shibo quickly reported this matter to Lord Zhizhou, so that he could arrange a countermeasure in advance!"
Lei Dahai said: "The Jin army raised troops to attack the Song Dynasty, and I have already heard of it. It's just that I didn't expect the Jin army to move south so quickly, and it will come to Qingzhou City so quickly!"
Yang Jianhui said: "The fortifications of Qingzhou City are strong, and there are still more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the city. If the lord is able to resist the city and defend it, he will block the Dajin army and horses outside the city of Qingzhou, and he will not be able to go south!"
When Lei Dahai heard this, he rode a fast horse to the Qingzhou Soldiers and Horses Division to meet General Li Xuan, the inspection envoy of the Qingzhou Army, and reported the news that Yang Jianhui brought back to Li Xuan, the inspection envoy!
Li Xuan was shocked when he heard this: "I never thought that the Jin army would come to the city of Qingzhou so soon! I don't know if Lord Zhang, the governor of Qingzhou, also knows about this, and when I go to the Zhizhou Mansion, I will inform Lord Zhang of this matter and then take care of it!"
After Li Xuan left, Zhang Zhizhou expected that Qingzhou City would not be able to stop the iron hooves of the Jin people, so he immediately ordered the people in the palace to pack up the gold and silver, and put all the gold and silver treasures, calligraphy, paintings, and money into the box.
After half a day of packing, the prefect's gold and silver belongings were packed in more than 20 large wooden boxes. After seeing that all the belongings were packed, Lord Zhang sent his wife Li to Tangzhou Province under the pretext of sending his wife Li to the provincial family, and arranged for Li Xiang, the chief manager of the house, to escort him. I want to send the people's fat and people's ointment collected by being an official in Qingzhou over the years to Tangzhou for resettlement!
However, it was said that Li Xiang led dozens of big men, holding a single knife, to carry the more than 20 large wooden boxes onto the carriage, and escorted them out of the Zhizhou Mansion to Tangzhou on the same day. After walking for a few miles, he was suddenly stopped by the people on the streets of Qingzhou! Li Xiang hurriedly held a single knife in his hand, flew forward, and shouted: "This is because the family of the Zhizhou adults want to go to Tangzhou Province, why do you and others block their way? Do you want to rebel against you, and you want to rob them?"
An old man stepped forward and said, "Our people will not rob, and we will not rebel." I just want to ask the people of Zhizhou not to abandon the city and flee. Putting the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city at risk!"
Li Xiang said: "Lord Zhizhou is still in the palace, and he has not abandoned the city and fled. This is the dress that Mrs. Li wants to bring to live in Tangzhou Province!"
The old man said: "Why didn't Mrs. Zhizhou go to Tangzhou Province early, and don't go to Tangzhou Province late." It stands to reason that Lord Zhizhou wanted to send his family out of Qingzhou first, and then he could get out of Qingzhou! Yes or no?"
After the old man finished speaking, the people rose up and shouted: "The family members of the Zhizhou adults should not leave Qingzhou, they should live and die with the people of Qingzhou!"
Li Xiang saw that there were many onlookers, and he knew that it was difficult to go out of the city during the day. had to escort his belongings and his wife back to the governor's mansion. waited until midnight in the Zhizhou Mansion before taking his wife's belongings and quietly leaving the city in the dark and fleeing to Tangzhou.
After Zhang Zhizhou saw that his wife and property had left Qingzhou safely, he asked him to get up and go to the Qingzhou Soldiers and Horses Division to discuss matters.
However, it was said that after Li Xuan reported the matter of the Jin army's knock on the city to Lord Zhang of Zhizhou, he hurriedly returned to the Soldiers and Horses Division's office to discuss the corresponding measures with his subordinate generals. When he returned to the Soldiers and Horses Division, all the generals in the army had already known the news and had been waiting in the palace for a long time!
Li Xuan entered the Soldiers and Horses Division's mansion and saw that all the generals had arrived. It is said that the generals said: "Now that the Jin army is coming to the city, I don't know what good strategy you have to resist the enemy, but you can protect the safety of Qingzhou!"
Wang Shijie, the head of the regimental training, said: "The Jin army went all the way south, like entering a no-man's land. All the states and counties they passed through suffered from it. Only the Texas defender Wu Guobang dared to fight against the Jin army, according to the Texas refugees, after the city of Texas was broken, Wu Guobang and more than 6,000 generals did not survive, all died under the iron hooves of the Jin army, and the imperial court did not have reinforcements to respond!
I mean, there are only more than 10,000 men and horses in Qingzhou, and they can't stop the attack of tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Dajin. Rather than waiting for death in the city, we should order the people in the city to stay away from Qingye, and after the people have left, we will retreat to Kaifeng!
Li Xuan was furious when he heard this: "Why did the head of the Wang sect say this, if the imperial court does not resist everywhere and let the Jin army do it, then what is the use of the imperial court raising us?"
Li Dahu, who joined the army, said: "The vanguard of the Jin army can arrive at the city of Qingzhou in less than two days, and the rear army can arrive in less than half a month." If there are no imperial court reinforcements in Qingzhou, it will not be able to hold it for long.
I intend that we can first break the vanguard of the Jin army in the area of Bianling Mountain, so as to frustrate the spirit of the Jin army. Then we will show the imperial court to ask for reinforcements, and when the Jin army soldiers arrive, we can refuse to defend the city and wait for work!
Lei Dahai said: "What Li said about joining the army is exactly what I want! We all eat the records of the imperial court, so there is no reason not to serve the imperial court." Now that the Jin army is marching south, it is the time for us to serve the imperial court. How can you be greedy for life and fear death, and retreat without a fight!"
Wang Shijie said: "We are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but now the court is a traitor, knowing that the Jin army is moving south, but the court does not make defensive strategies, only knows how to blindly claim the ministers and seek peace." As a result, the Jin army was fearless, and advanced rapidly all the way south.
Many prefectures and counties in Hebei raised troops, but none of the prefectures and counties dared to resist, and all of them surrendered their cities! And the imperial court did not know how to transfer troops to rescue. Even if some states and counties dare to resist, in the end, it is because there are no reinforcements to reinforce them, and the city is broken and killed!
Although there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, it is difficult to resist tens of thousands of Jin troops moving south. Even if we can stop the Jin army for a month, we can't stop the Jin army for a year! In the end, the city will be broken and killed. It's better to preserve the strength of our army, spread it to Kaifeng first, and then fight with the Jin army!"
The tooth general Deng Min said: "The head of the Wang sect is reasonable! With more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if we hold the city, we will not be able to stop more than 100,000 Jin troops from going south. Unless the imperial court sends reinforcements. But now the court is full of Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Yang Zhi, Zhang Bangchang and others, all of whom only know how to be greedy for wealth and wealth, greedy for life and afraid of death, and no one dares to speak for our front-line soldiers. The imperial court will not send troops to reinforce my Qingzhou!
I will, we might as well avoid its edge, and then fight with it!"
......
The generals argued for half a day in the Soldiers and Horses Division, but there was no result. The next day, it was discussed again! During the discussion, it was suddenly reported that Lord Zhang of Zhizhou had arrived! All the generals heard that Lord Zhang had arrived, and they all stood up and greeted him!
Lord Zhang of Zhizhou said to the generals: "You are all the ministers of the pillars of the imperial court, and the cash soldiers are coming to the city, which is the time for you to serve the country." You should be the first to break the gold army under the city of Qingzhou!
I now hand over the responsibility of defending the city to General Li Xuan, and let General Li act cheaply!"
General Deng Min hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask Lord Zhizhou, when will the imperial court reinforcements arrive in Wuqingzhou?"
Master Zhang said: "As a general of the Qingzhou Army, it is your duty to garrison Qingzhou! Even if there are no reinforcements from the imperial court, you and others must live and die together with Qingzhou!"
Wang Shijie was furious when he heard this, and said: "Lord Zhizhou! Please forgive the last general's blunt words! There are only more than 10,000 men and horses in Qingzhou, and if there is no imperial court reinforcements, it will be difficult for us to hold this Qingzhou City!"
Master Zhang said: "Whether there are reinforcements or not is a matter for the Privy Council of the Imperial Court, and I have no right to intervene! However, I have already reported the matter of the Jin Army's southern invasion to the Imperial Court! I am waiting for the response of the Imperial Court!"
You will definitely try to hold Qingzhou City! Everything will be under the command of General Li Xuan!" After that, he turned around and left, and rode back to the Zhizhou Mansion on a fast horse! It was night, and he took a few entourages and fled to Tangzhou under the pretext of going to Kaifeng to discuss matters!
Let's say that after the generals saw that Lord Zhizhou entrusted the defense of the city to General Li Xuan, they got up and left, and all the generals were angry!
Deng Min said: "If what I expected is correct, Zhang Zhizhou will definitely abandon the city and flee! I heard that Zhang Zhizhou sent his family and the housekeeper out of the city yesterday and the gold, silver, and property!"
Li Dahu said: "Zhang Zhizhou is a civil official, but we are military generals, so we don't need to be as knowledgeable as Zhang Zhizhou." Even if Zhang Zhizhou abandons the city and flees, we will defend Qingzhou City to the death!"
Lei Dahai said: "What Li said in the army is very true, it is our duty to defend the city and resist the enemy!" As soon as Lei Dahai finished speaking, he suddenly heard a report from the junior colonel: "More than 6,000 people in the vanguard of the Jin Army have entered the ground of our Qingzhou and arrived at the Chaoshui River, and they will be able to march to the city of Qingzhou in half a day! The two generals at the head are Chen Zaisheng and Xiao Guangyuan! Both of them are famous generals under Wanyan Zongwang!"
Li Xuan sat on the main hall, shocked when he heard this, and said to the generals: "In half a day, the Jin army will be under the city of Qingzhou, and I don't know which general dares to lead the troops out of the city to meet the enemy, so as to frustrate the sharp of the Jin army!"
The generals were silent when they heard all the words!
Li Xuan saw that all the generals were silent, and said: "The vanguard of the Jin army is only more than 6,000 people, and you dare not meet the enemy.
If I hadn't taken on the heavy responsibility of defending the city, I would have led the troops out of the city to meet the vanguard of the Jin Army for a while!"
When the generals heard this, they were silent! Staff General Li Dahu said: "Since all the generals do not want to be the vanguard of the Jin army for a while, I will lead 4,000 men and horses to fight the Jin army!"
Li Xuan said: "Li joined the army and took up the important post of joining the army, how could he easily resist the enemy! Since all the generals did not dare to meet the Jin army for a while, a certain leader of the troops would go in person! You can temporarily retreat, and after I return to the camp, I will summon you and others to discuss the matter of defending the city!"
Lei Dahai hurriedly said: "General Li is responsible for defending the city, how can he personally lead the troops to fight! If the general has a slight accident, who will shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the city!"
The general must not go lightly, he is willing to lead the troops for a while, the vanguard of the golden army!"
Li Xuan said: "General Lei is forty-four out of fifty this year, how can he lead the troops to fight again?"
Lei Dahai said: "In the past, Jiang Taigong was more than eighty years old and could still help Zhou. Huang Zhong is more than 70 years old, and he is still able to follow the main army to attack Eastern Wu! Although I am 50 and 4 this year, I can still lead the troops to fight! General, don't worry!"
When the general Zhang Zheng heard this, he said: "I am willing to go with General Lei!"
Li Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "With General Zhang going together, it is enough to defeat the enemy and win!"
At noon that day, Zhang Zheng ordered 4,000 men and horses in the barracks to go out of the city with Lei Dahai to meet the enemy!
