Chapter 2 (II) The blood of the horse-head qin stains the morning sun

A few days later, Li Heng borrowed a boat to return, and Zhang Hongfan's injuries gradually became lighter, so he blocked the waterway of the Song army first.

Song Jun has been miserable since then. Some of the soldiers drank seawater and vomited.

Zhang Shijie wanted to send someone to find Jiang Cheng for reinforcements, but Yashan had already been surrounded by Li Heng's men and horses, and the land and the water village had been cut off, and everyone was worried about it.

On this night, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie were discussing ways to break through the blockade, and Deng Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly entered the account and reported: "Qi Taifu, Prime Minister, Tartar fire attack." ”

Lu Xiufu stood up and screamed bitterly: "Oops." ”

Zhang Shijie was confident and said, "Prepare to fight back immediately." After speaking, he walked out of the tent, only to see not far away, hundreds of fireships lined up, tonight just blowing the south wind, the fire passed away by the wind, and the sea was bright.

Lu Xiufu and Deng Yan also came to the tent at this time, although the two were civil officials, they still took the lead for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty and were fearless.

The Song army on the water village leaned over and hid under the edge of the boat, painted himself with wet mud, and pulled the rope in his hand, the fireboat got closer and closer, so close that he could already see the face of the Yuan army, and close enough to see Zhang Hongfan showing off his might on the main boat.

Zhang Shijie said in his heart, he came just in time, and with an order, the Song army pulled the rope, the mechanism was activated, and hard spears rose under the water, piercing the bottom of the fireboat. The Song army, who had been in ambush, rushed out together, pushed the fireboat away with a long pole, and watched it slowly sink to the bottom.

Zhang Shijie waved his hand forward, and the Song army took off the iron chain that locked the ship, and the Song ships on the periphery separated from the water village, and at the same time surrounded the Yuan army. Behind the Yuan army were just ordinary warships, they didn't expect Zhang Shijie to have such a move, and they immediately panicked.

Zhang Hongfan hurriedly withdrew his troops, but it was already slow to turn the bow of the ship again, and the Song army's warships were like arrows from the string, galloping forward. Although Zhang Hongfan's martial arts are strong, how can he not perform in the bumpy sea, plus he is injured, he does not dare to fight, and hurriedly orders the archers of the rear team to release arrows, and he leads a small number of Yuan soldiers to flee for their lives.

Some were killed by the Song army, some fell into the sea and were swallowed by the ocean, and some were killed by the arrows of their own people.

The Song army pursued all the way, drove Zhang Hongfan to the shore, and regained the waterway at the mouth of the sea in one go, and finally temporarily relieved the urgency of cutting off the water.

Zhang Shijie won a big battle, which was really a timely rain for the demoralized Song army soldiers, and the Great Song army camp had not won a battle for a long time.

The next day, the officials held a banquet to celebrate the victory.

During the banquet, everyone congratulated one after another, all of them: Taifu Yingming, the water village that built this iron-locked boat really broke the Tartar soldiers, Taifu was clever and so on, flattering words were endless, and Zhang Shijie was also happy to accept it.

Lu Xiufu was the only one here who was frowning, drinking alone and looking thoughtful. Deng Yan and Lu Xiufu have always been good friends, and seeing Lu Xiufu like this, he approached and asked: "Seeing that the prime minister has a sad face, why don't you have fun with everyone?"

"Hey," Lu Xiufu looked at Zhang Shijie, who was drinking with the officials, and sighed: "Since the loss of Xiangyang, there has not been such a big victory, Taifu's behavior today is a little carried away, I am worried about ......" Speaking of this, Lu Xiufu shook his head.

Deng Yan asked, "What is the prime minister worried about?"

Lu Xiufu looked at the wine in the cup, turned it in his hand, and said, "What will happen if the wine is full?"

Deng Yan suddenly realized that if the wine is full, it will naturally overflow, Zhang Shijie is in a high position, and the general Jiang Cheng is not there, in terms of martial arts, talent, and power status, no one can compare with him, and because of this, Zhang Shijie is inevitably lonely and arrogant.

"Full of losses, humble benefits, it turns out that the prime minister is worried about this, I am afraid that Zhang Shijie will suffer a big loss in this. Deng Yan said.

Lu Xiufu said: "Shijie is okay to say, I am more worried about Zhang Hongfan, he is always scheming, and if he can't make a plan, he will have two plans." Our army must not neglect its precautions. ”

Deng Yan smiled and comforted: "Prime Minister relax, Zhang Hongfan has a defeat last time, and it will take some time to reorganize the warship." ”

"I hope," Lu Xiufu said with a wry smile: "Guang Recommendation (Deng Yanzi), even if this is the case, you can't relax." Take me to the lookout, it's stuffy. ”

Zhang Shijie was unhappy when he saw that the two of them did not gather with everyone and went out alone, but all the officials were persuading him to drink, and they had no time to take care of it.

Lu and Deng came to the Chinese army lookout and looked at the Mongolian military camp at Yashan Pass. The lights in the Mongol army were bright, and a little light spread into the darkness in the distance, and the military appearance seemed to be stronger than before.

After watching it for a long time, Lu Xiufu sighed: "No wonder Zhang Hongfan has won a hundred battles, after this defeat, the military appearance is stronger than before, the victory is not arrogant, the defeat is not discouraged, it is indeed amazing, if there is a person in my Great Song Dynasty to compare, I am afraid it will not be like this." ”

Deng Yan saw that Lu Xiufu was still in a bad mood, and he didn't know how to persuade Lu Dao, so he was silent.

At this time, the sound of the horse-head harp came from the Mongolian army, and the sound of the harp was like a cry and a complaint, tactful and melodious, as if a woman was gently summoning, summoning her lover who had gone to the frontier to return. Lu Xiufu couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen, and when the voice was about to disappear, the summoning intention sounded softly again, and when it reached the highest pitch, it suddenly turned low, making people's ears desperately want to catch the sound, but they couldn't catch it.

Song Jun, who was standing guard outside the ship, including Lu Xiufu and Deng Yan, listened to it and sighed in their hearts. Some people think of their lovers in the south of the Yangtze River when they hear it, some people think of their relatives who died in the war, and some people think of themselves in the war.

Lu Xiufu turned his head to look at Deng Yan, and when he saw that he was actually crying, he asked, "Guang Xuan, what do you think of?"

Deng Yan hurriedly tapped a little tear stain with his sleeve: "Prime Minister, I lost my temper, I don't know who played this piano, it makes people listen so sadly, I suddenly thought that if we fail to repel the Tartar after all, my family and I will definitely die, and ...... at that time."

"It's just death," Lu Xiufu said angrily: "We should also do our best to assist the emperor, and if we die, we can have a clear conscience." ”

Deng Yan groaned: "Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat." This is exactly Wen Tianxiang's famous sentence.

Lu Xiufu looked into the distance and nodded lightly: "Hey, Prime Minister Wen doesn't know what happened." ”

Suddenly, a lightning bolt pierced the night sky, and then a thunderclap resounded throughout the universe, and the horse-head qin stopped abruptly, and Lu Xiufu exclaimed: "It's not good, this sound of the piano seems to be a little strange, and we didn't expect it when we were indulging." The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and he immediately sobered up, thinking that the Yuan army was going to attack Mi Zhang.

Although Lu Xiufu thought of this festival, it was a pity that it was too late, and another lightning flashed, and he saw that the periphery of the water village was already full of warships, covered with dark blue cloth, and the color of the sea water in the dark night, and the patrolling Song soldiers on the periphery had all been wiped out unconsciously. Countless black-clothed people armed with short knives have already boarded the water village. At this time, Zhang Shijie and other officials were still drinking and having fun, and they didn't know it.

It turned out that after Zhang Hongfan was defeated, he learned from the pain, thinking that the failure to attack on fire was because the Song army had already taken precautions, because the ignition of the fire at night would be discovered by the Song army, and it would be difficult to attack the water village as soon as the organ was opened, so he considered the method of sneak attack.

Coincidentally, on the second day, the Mongolian general Boyan led troops to help, she has a daughter named Xiangnan, nine years old this year, this girl Lan Xin is smart, ice and snow smart.

There is such a kind of person in the world, born with spirituality, some are very talented in martial arts, some are very talented in literature, although Xiang Nan is mediocre in other aspects, but he is a genius in music, the same tune, played by her is different from ordinary people, ordinary people just make up the five tones into different sounds, and Xiang Nan seems to be playing her own heart. Later, she was taught by the national teacher Yi Se Si Lianzhen, and she learned a strange and strange knowledge that was breathtaking, and incorporated this skill into her own piano sound.

Therefore, Boyan and Zhang Hongfan made a plan, and chose a homesick song called Xiangnan to play against the Song Army Water Village, and found dozens of musicians to accompany them to strengthen their momentum. Then he sent 500 warships, secretly cut off the return route of the Song army, and then ordered the army to be lit up all night to confuse the enemy. After the last day, Zhang Jue prepared 500 warships covered with blue cloth, carrying 10,000 black-clothed warriors, and took advantage of the night to attack the water village with the sound of the piano to the south.

The sound of the piano really fascinated Song Jun, and no one noticed that the danger was at the moment. It was also Zhang Shijie who never thought that the Yuan army had just suffered a defeat and would fight back so soon. If it weren't for the thunder, Xiang Nan would be startled, and Lu Xiufu wouldn't have noticed the sound of the piano. He immediately called Deng Yan to sound the gong to call the police, and he hurriedly reported to Zhang Shijie.

Zhang Shijie was happy today, drank a little too much, and was boasting about his military exploits to Zhao Yu, the concubine and the hundred officials in the main hall, saying that the water village organs he built were all over the place, how unbreakable, suddenly the gong outside sounded suddenly, and then the shouting of killing started, and he couldn't help but be surprised, I don't know what happened outside the road.

At this time, Lu Xiufu hurriedly entered the hall, and he didn't have time to salute the emperor and tell him what had happened. Everyone present was dumbfounded. At this time, although there were hundreds of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, most of the civil servants were servants, and the only generals who could conquer the habitual fighters were Jiang Cheng and Zhang Shijie, and now Jiang Cheng is not there, and it all depends on Zhang Shijie. But Zhang Shijie saw that the peripheral organs were useless, and he was by no means the opponent of the young general and Zhang Hongfan, the Song soldiers relied on the fortification of Yashan City before, and it was difficult for the Tartars to conquer even though they had thousands of troops, but now they were at sea, and there was no danger to defend, and they knew that the general trend had gone, so they regretted it.

Deng Yan also ran in at this time, panting as he ran: "The enemy is about to attack, and the enemy has a young general...... Good...... Isn't it amazing, hand ...... Holding two knives, he kills anyone he sees. The emperor is leaving...... Let's go. ”

Zhang Shijie thought to himself, keeping Zhao Yu was to preserve the bloodline of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how critical the situation was, the emperor must not make a mistake. Then he said: "Your Majesty, concubine, it seems that I am afraid that this place may not be able to be held, we are almost to the back of the water village...... Run. ”

The concubine and Zhao Yu also panicked, and had to follow Zhang Shijie to flee for their lives. When I came out of the tent, I saw that the two armies were fighting together not far away. In the dark night, the steel knives of the Mongolian black-clothed warriors were particularly dazzling, falling straight towards the Great Song soldiers.

Scolding, shouting, and crying are mixed together, earth-shattering, and endless. The more the Song army fought, the more it retreated, and some of the Song soldiers were squeezed into the sea before they had time to escape, and countless hands and feet were broken, and the Song army fell one by one, and corpses were everywhere. Zhao Yu was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and he cried. It didn't matter if he cried, a man in black immediately found out and shouted: "The emperor of the Han people is there, catch him!"

The concubine hurriedly covered Zhao Yu's mouth, but where was the time, several people in black had already rushed over. Zhang Shijie held a sword in his hand and fought hard. But more and more people are coming here.

Lu Xiufu suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Zhao Yu and the concubine: "The emperor, the concubine, the minister has a plan to help the emperor get out of danger." It's just that the concubine was wronged. ”

The concubine hurriedly picked it up: "When is it, you can still do this big gift, if you have any plans, tell me quickly." ”

As soon as Lu Xiufu said his thoughts, the concubine was shocked: "That's too wronged for you......"

Lu Xiufu said: "In addition to this, the emperor can't get out of danger no matter what, the ministers have done their best for the Great Song Dynasty, and they have no regrets when they die, and the concubine must not hesitate at this time, and make a decision as soon as possible." ”

The concubine sighed: "Okay, let's go quickly." ”

Zhang Shijie had also temporarily killed the man in black at this time, and everyone took the opportunity to flee back to the Zhongjun Palace. Lu Xiufu said to the hundred officials: "Everyone, the time has come for us to serve the imperial court, I hope we will work together for the Great Song Dynasty and the first emperor to retain this bit of Zhao's bloodline......" Lu Xiufu said the strategy, and everyone admired it.

Zhang Qi was killing outside, and he was about to kill the Chinese army, when he suddenly saw hundreds of officials rushing out of the Chinese military tent together, and fled in different directions. He wanted to capture Zhao Yu alive, and suddenly saw a graceful and luxurious woman sandwiched among the hundred officials, and fled in a hurry, not even wearing shoes, and holding a doll in his hand, he guessed that it was the concubine, and the one he was holding must be the emperor, so he chased forward.

How fast Zhang Jue's body can be, a few ups and downs will catch up in front of him. The toefei was about to run to the stern of an iron-locked ship, and was about to remove the iron ring from the bow, when she felt a tightness under her feet, and her left leg was entangled in an iron chain, and on the iron chain was a large knife that was bright and dangling.

As soon as Zhang Jue flew up, he had already pointed his right hand knife at her chest, and shouted: "Hand over the emperor! ”

The concubine looked at him coldly: "Dog thief, our mother and son don't want to live anymore." As he spoke, he straightened his chest forward, and the sharp knife was already sharp, only to hear the sound of "poof", and it had penetrated from front to back.

Zhang Jue was also stunned, he had no intention of killing the concubine, but he didn't expect that she would kill herself.

As soon as the body of the concubine rolled, it fell into the sea. Zhang Jue looked at the doll again, where was the doll, but a bench with a dress on the outside.

On the other side, Lu Xiufu hurriedly returned to Xiangfu (in fact, it was just a larger ship) with twenty dead soldiers. Lu Ya was snuggling in his mother's arms at this time, shouting outside to kill, and he was trembling. As soon as he saw his father coming back, he broke free from Mrs. Lu, stepped forward and asked, "Daddy, the fight outside is very bad, isn't it? Daddy is injured." ”

Lu Xiufu listened like a knife, thinking that our family is going to sacrifice his life for the country, it is rare for his son to be so sensible, do you know that you and your father will be buried in this vast sea?

"Ya'er, can you agree to something that Daddy wants you to do?" Lu Xiufu asked softly with tears in his eyes.

Lu Ya asked, "What's the matter?" Daddy just commanded. ”

Lu Xiufu looked at Lu Ya's innocent eyes, and the tears could no longer hold back his eyes, and said, "Pretend to be the emperor." ”

As soon as Mrs. Lu saw her husband's expression, and then heard what her husband said, she immediately knew what he wanted to do: "No, the Lu family is such a child, master, don't ...... it." ”

Mrs. has been with him for many years, and Lu Xiufu knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he said: "I can't help it, I just want to keep the bloodline of the Zhao family and try to restore the country in the future." Shijie has fled with the emperor, and the Tartar soldiers cannot find the emperor, so they must chase him. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to sacrifice Ya'er, or to save the emperor from death. ”

Mrs. Lu cried and said, "His surname Zhao is honorable, but the lives of the descendants of our surname Lu family are low?

Lu Xiufu wiped away his tears and said: "It's too late, I can't explain much at this moment, the emperor is the emperor, we are the life of the courtiers, and we will be the emperor since we enter the official family." ”

He was afraid that his wife would refuse, so he ordered the soldiers on the left and right to grab his wife by both hands. Regardless of whether Mrs. and Lu Ya were willing, he ordered someone to forcibly change the dragon robe to Lu Ya.

Lu Ya and Zhao Yu are the same age, and they fit just right when they put on a dragon robe.

Everything was ready, Lu Xiufu picked up Lu Ya and walked to the rear cabin. There are five small boats prepared there, which are prepared for evacuation on weekdays. At the beginning, Lu Xiufu just wanted to save his family, but he didn't expect to use these boats to send him back to heaven today.

Lu Xiufu asked the sergeant to escort his wife, and he was about to board the boat with Lu Ya in his arms, but Mrs. Lu didn't know where she got the strength, broke free from everyone and fell to the ground like crazy, stretched out her right hand, grabbed her husband's ankle, and shouted: "Master, just let go of Ya'er, please, please!"

Lu Xiufu thought to himself, the situation is so urgent at the moment, how can there be any more delay, he was anxious, and said to his wife: "Madam, I'm sorry." With a snap of his eyes, he swung his sword and chopped off Mrs. Lu's right hand.

Mrs. Lu screamed, and she didn't know what to do. Lu Xiufu made up for her heart again, Mrs. Lu was immediately angry, she respected Lu Xiufu so much, and trusted him so much, but when she died, she didn't understand why her husband was so ruthless, which one was more important in his heart, relatives or the emperor.

Lu Ya was in his father's arms, and when he witnessed this scene, he was so frightened that he couldn't cry. The soldiers on both sides were also shocked. Lu Xiufu didn't have time to grieve, so he quickly got on the boat, and ordered "Hurry up." ”

At this time, the lady's right hand was still grasping his boot, and after walking a few steps, he fell again, a lightning bolt struck, and the rain poured down, Lu Ya saw that the lightning shone on his mother's hand, and the blood flowed everywhere along the broken place.

The five ships lit torches and headed south, deliberately for the Yuan army to discover. Sure enough, not long after the trip, many boats chased after them, and the soldiers on the boat shouted: "Don't let Zhao Hao escape." ”

It turned out that when they saw Lu Ya wearing a dragon robe, they thought it was Zhao Yu, so they chased after him.

Lu Xiufu fled for dozens of miles, and encountered Deng Yan's boat again, and the two joined forces to continue to move forward. It turned out that hundreds of officials scattered and left by boat, all of them lit torches to deliberately lure away the Yuan soldiers, but Zhang Shijie's ship did not ignite, the purpose was to protect the little emperor and secretly withdraw.

Lu Xiufu saw that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, and knew that Lu Dao was in a catastrophe, so he said to Deng Yan: "Guang Xuan, you can't follow me anymore, otherwise you will definitely die, so flee quickly." ”

Deng Yan said: "I talked with the prime minister at the observatory, I deeply admire that since the prime minister sacrificed his life for righteousness, he is willing to be a companion with you on the Huangquan Road." ”

Lu Xiufu suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, since that's the case, why don't we worship as brothers before we meet the king of Hades?"

Deng Yan also smiled and said, "Big brother! ”

The two of them prostrated their heads and bowed on this murderous night of lightning and thunder. Lu Ya was just thinking about his mother's death just now, and he didn't react to everything around him.

At this time, the enemy ship was about to arrive, and when Lu Xiufu saw that it was Zhang Hongfan who personally led the army to come, he shouted to the opposite side: "Zhang Hongfan, if you want to capture the emperor alive, I am afraid that you can't, I will give you the emperor's order." After speaking, Ha Lu Ha Da laughed, picked up the daze Lu Ya and threw himself into the sea.

Zhang Hongfan wanted to dissuade him, but there was still time.

When Deng Yan saw that Lu Xiufu was dead, he raised his head to the sky and roared: "Big brother wait for me!"

Say it and throw yourself into the sea. Zhang Hongfan approached a little closer at this time, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to save people. After Deng Yan was rescued, he found that he was not dead, so he jumped into the sea again. So three times, Zhang Hongfan had no choice but to order left and right, tied up and rescued, and Deng Yan was tied up and rescued on the boat, still scolding angrily.

The Battle of Yashan lasted all night, and the Song army's more than 100,000 soldiers were annihilated. The next day, after the rain, the sky was clear, the morning sun first appeared, and the ten thousand rays of light dyed the cliffs, mountains and seas into a blood-red color. The sea is full of the corpses of Song Jun, the red sea water, the red morning glow, and the red blood, all of which are so integrated that it is impossible to distinguish where the sky is and where the sea is. On the surface of the sea, a white arrow feather swayed faintly.
