Chapter 623: The Premonitory Causal Reverse Flow of Insanity

Shandong Dongping Prefecture, Yanggu County.

The black smoke column rises into the sky with the burning flames, crackling and burning, are the golden ears of rice, the air is filled with the smell of burnt rice grains, and then, the sound of footsteps and shouts, mixed together.In the field of vision, the road is full of people running around, hurried footsteps, and all kinds of shouts.

"...Let's go, the Jurchen cavalry has come, go to the city quickly. Several big cities in the north have been slaughtered, do you know that all the people in Dizhou have been killed, chicken Dogs don't stay..."

The shouts of the officials ahead merged into the crowd and became intermittent.A woman rushed down to the paddy field with a basket on her back and a sickle, crying and desperately harvesting.The ragged old woman screamed and rushed towards the Zaoli on the side of the road: "You kill me, you kill me, I won't leave! Let the Jurchens come and eat my old bones...you are evil... ..."

Someone stopped the old woman, and the old woman struggled, and finally fell to the ground, hitting her head on a stone, and then her head was covered with blood.Amidst the chaotic noise of human voices, on one side of the road, a small conflict broke out between the villagers and the soldiers. The stone that came over smashed it, and blood flowed from his head.

This momentary conflict caused even greater chaos. The autumn wind whizzed past, and the fire assisted the wind, pushing the fire on the field far away, like a long red and black blanket. To the distant woods...

Everyone in the chaotic situation looked from a distance and was stunned by the huge flame.

From Yanggu County to the west, most of Hedongxi Road and Hebei Road are stretched in a gloomy autumn rain.The rain was falling in the hazy sky. On the road from north to south, pedestrians in coir raincoats, carrying bundles, pack horses with luggage, and carts were crowded southward. The old man was not resistant to the cold and rain and fell to the ground. The child in the woman's arms was drenched by the rain, crying loudly.The post stations and restaurants along the way were crowded with relocated pedestrians.

On the bank of the Yellow River in the autumn rain, all the ferries are full, and all the boats are constantly going back and forth in the undulating waves.

In mid-August of the 13th year of Jinghan, a huge clearing of the wall began.

"Phew, it's nice to be young..."

In the south of Dongping Mansion, a crowd came and went, and in the busy and noisy courtyard, Ning Yi, who had only slept for more than an hour, came out of the room, and after washing his face, he sent out the above feelings.In the distance are fiery clouds.

From time to time, galloping horses came running outside the courtyard, handing over all kinds of news. From west to east, the current situation of nearly [-] prefectures and nearly a hundred counties in the five roads of Hedong, Hedongxi, Jingdongdong, Jingdongxi, and Hebei, etc. Summarized here, members of Zhuji's staff come in and out, summarize the information, formulate countermeasures, and wait for Ning Yi or Wen Renbuer's approval.

Qin Shaoqian strode in from outside the courtyard, Wu Ruijun's barracks was nearby at this time, and there were various activities in the past few days, Qin Shaoqian would occasionally come to visit.Ning Yi laughed: "I just got up, and I should have said good morning, but it's almost dark. The second young master is here, is there something good..."

"Zong Han's attack on Taiyuan started yesterday." Qin Shaoqian held a piece of information in his hand.

Ning Yi's expression was slightly stunned, and then he reached out to take the information, and the staff members passing by passed a piece of paper, and whispered: "We just received it."

Ning Yi took two pieces of paper and looked there.In fact, this is already expected, and for Ning Yi, the meaning of sending the information is just to look at it.But the confirmation of the news means that the situation of the siege of Taiyuan has been settled, and Qin Shaohe, Li Pin, Cheng Zhouhai and others have all been trapped in it.Because there are acquaintances, the news is more or less heavy.

"The thing that is far away in the sky, I started attacking yesterday, and it may have been broken at this time. I just brought it here to show you, and it's not your business, Liheng, why worry about it." Seeing Ning Yi slightly frowning, Qin Shaoqian's The smile was open-minded instead, and he reached out and took back the information.

Ning Yi glanced at him: "Taiyuan is a strong city, it shouldn't be as fast as you said."

"My elder brother looks more pedantic than Dad on weekdays. In fact, he has read more military books than me. He knows how to defend the city and can't command blindly. There are people in the city with your bamboo notes, and Cheng Zhou Hai, I understand him best. He is a poisonous man. Cooperating with your subordinates, he really can't hold on. He can drive the whole city to the wall. I don't think it will be broken, if it is broken like this , That’s because of fate.” Qin Shaoqian had a big beard and smiled simply, “The most important thing is that the water in the distance can’t quench the thirst in the near one, and it’s useless for you and me to worry about the Taiyuan matter.”

"It's good if you can think clearly." Ning Yi smiled, "Then what about you."

"I'm here to tell you about this." Qin Shaoqian said, "We're ready to send troops."

Ning Yi looked at him, then at the sunset in the distance, and sighed again.

This day is August fifteenth.

*************

In mid-August, the north of the Yellow River was already in great chaos.

After Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Loushi went to Xinzhou and Daizhou, with some adjustments, the Jurchen West Route Army drove tens of thousands of civilians and captives, and pushed their troops to Taiyuan, the Dragon City.

In the east, with Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng Army as the vanguard, Wanyan Zongwang led an army of nearly [-] troops on the west road. After intimidating Jinan, they did not attack the city.The army quickly entered the central area between Jinan, Daming, and Dongping.

The Jurchen soldiers came rolling in, destroying all the way.After breaking through Yanjing and the three towns of Hebei, the Eastern Route Army hardly stopped along the way. The Wu Dynasty army along the way was either quickly defeated or left behind by the army before the defense line was formed.At this time, the situation has entered a delicate situation.

Right now, around here, the Xiang Army guarding Jinan, Daming, and Dongping, and the three armies of Wuwei, Wusheng, and Wurui, have a total of more than [-] troops, and they have all been mobilized with the beginning of the battle. Surrounding the Jurchen East Route Army with horns, the atmosphere is chilling, and the war is about to break out again.It has only been three days since Ning Yi came to Dongping with Wu Ruiying, and the situation of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields has just started to work, and the war is already imminent.

The rhythm of this battle was not determined by the Wu Dynasty, but by the Jurchens. Once the 20-strong army hesitated a little longer, Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army would break through the Daming and Dongping areas and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains.

But the so-called instant fire is nothing more than self-deceiving official words for insiders.Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army took Guo Yaoshi as the vanguard, and since his vanguard deterred Jinan, the entire situation within a radius of hundreds of miles has been completely controlled by the Jurchens.It is said that more than 20 troops of the Wu Dynasty were hoarded in three directions. In fact, it is hard to say who would dare to dispatch. Most of the troops in the three directions were fighting. After the massacre of Dizhou, no one did a good job. The psychological foundation of war was laid, but the Jurchens were about to swagger through the encirclement.

Everything came too fast.Even for Ning Yi, this is the case.

"5 people are going to Shouzhang County, and you are facing 10 people from Zongwang and Guo Yaoshi. No matter what, Second Young Master, I can't buy you to win this time."

The setting sun was red, Ning Yi put down what he was doing, and walked out of the yard with Qin Shaoqian, holding wine and meat, and talked to the military camp in the distance from the nearby grassy slope.Qin Shaoqian took a sip of wine: "There are at least 20."

"Big name Liang Zhongshu, I can't say what the virtues of Jinan Zhang Youqing's group are, and I don't understand wars, but if you really believe it, I will give you four words."

"Oh? What can Li Heng learn?"

"Furinkazan."

"Sun Tzu's Art of War..."

"The retreat is like the wind, and the outflank is like the forest. Looting money and aggression is like fire, and the friendly army is in trouble like a mountain..."

On the grassy slope, Qin Shaoqian was stunned for a while, then burst out laughing, and after laughing for a long time, he said, "Then how should I fight?"

"...Yes." Ning Yi took a sip of wine and murmured.

Qin Shaoqian said: "But no matter what, I have to go. No matter what, I also want to compete with famous generals like Wanyan Zongwang and Guo Yaoshi."

The two brothers of the Qin family, one civil and one military, used to be officials outside, but because Qin Yuyuan valued Ning Yi, when they came back occasionally, the two sides still had contacts. Qin Shao and Qin Shaoqian regarded Ning Yi as his father's comrades and even his mantle. One of the descendants, in a sense, can be regarded as a friend or even a family member, and the relationship is really good.But this time, the Jurchen came quickly, Ning Yi had just gone north, Qin Shaohe was trapped in Taiyuan, and Qin Shaoqian had already gone to Shouzhang to face Wanyan Zongwang. In any case, this feeling was a bit complicated after all.

Although Qin Shaoqian said it lightly, he has the heroism to fight against the famous generals of the world, and Ning Yi also knows that he has the ability, but the Wu Dynasty has deep constraints on the generals. As the commander of the Wurui Battalion, he can lead the army to fight. Management, on the contrary, belongs to the civil servant above him, who is now the economic and strategic appeasement envoy of Dongping Mansion.

Although Qin Shaohe is a civil servant, he guards Taiyuan and has the highest command over Taiyuan's army.As for Qin Shaoqian, not only did he have civil servants who could speak, but he had only been in command of the Wurui Camp for only a year.Even if because of Qin Yuyuan's powerful father's care, the civil servants had less checks and balances on him, it would be unbelievable for anyone to say that he could lead the army of Wu Ruiying to stop the [-] Jurchen army.

Of course, Qin Shaoqian himself didn't necessarily have confidence, but when things came to an end, as a soldier, he didn't think too much about it.Ning Yi naturally understood, after talking about the previous few words, the two of them drank for a while before Qin Shaoqian asked: "What does Li Heng think about the outcome of this battle? If we lose, how much should we pay to settle the matter? "

"Does Second Young Master think it's just a loss of money?"

"The Blackwater Alliance is also losing money. The 20 Jurchens can't take over our country."

"The Liao Kingdom of the Blackwater Alliance is late, and it is enough to take the old coins. The Jurchen has just established the country and is on the way to progress, so it is hard to say." Ning Yi hesitated, "And I have done too many dead things in the past few years gone."

Qin Shaoqian was silent for a while, and looked at Ning Yi: "I am a warrior, and I only fight in wars. Liheng, you are a literati, just like my dad, and you understand the overall situation. Do you really think that you have reached this point?"

Yuanshan is getting late, although the two had a good friendship in the past, they have just met for a few days this time, things are busy, and there is not much time to chat, but at this time, wine helps to talk about sex, and when the autumn wind blows, there is more love Talked for a while.

"I'm not sure." Ning Yi handed the jug to Qin Shaoqian, and said, "But some things are the words of the family, so we can talk nonsense. In the past few days, there have been various news here, not only where the Jinren hit , It’s not just a matter of strengthening the walls and clearing the wild. Since the Jurchens went south, the resistance in various places has never stopped. First, Master Zhou Dong Zhou led more than 70 people to assassinate Yan Zonghan, and then there was a small county called Shuanghe in the three towns of Hebei. In order to cover the evacuation of more than 5000 people, the county magistrate Du Yongnian led more than 300 people to attract the attention of the Jurchens. They used the terrain to fight hard with more than 500 Jurchen cavalry for two hours. After the entire army was wiped out, Du Yongnian was captured. In front of Wanyan Zongwang's seat, the other party saw his bravery and said a few words to him, Du Yongnian yelled at Zongwang from the beginning to the end, and was finally shown to the public by the owl."

Ning Yi said while taking a sip of wine: "Then there is the ancient Shanzhai in Hebei... It was originally a bandit village, but you know, many people's families are still in the village at the foot of the mountain. When the Jurchen passed by, the village was slaughtered. The Shanzhai There were more than 100 people in the village. Under the leadership of the village lord Wang Cheng, they ambushed the Jurchen army and rushed straight to the main formation. After a charge, they all died. After Wang Cheng, Yang Xiao, the chief escort of the Yang Wei Escort, dismissed the guards and his family. After assassinating Yan Zongwang alone, he was one of Zhou Tong's disciples. At the same time, He Wang, a green forest tycoon, led more than a dozen masters, who also assassinated Zongwang... In the past few days, there have been such news all over the place. No, I asked my subordinates to make them into stories and tell them. What do you think after the second young master heard it?"

"Okay, they are all heroes." Qin Shaoqian slightly solemnly patted his thigh to show respect, "There is still hope for my Wu Dynasty to have these people!"

"No, it is these people who appear, representing the vast majority of people in this country, who have not done what they should do." Ning Yi was also three points drunk, waving his fingers in the air, "The appearance of these heroes, It means that after the founding of the Wu Dynasty, the dividends accumulated in a positive direction have been completely squandered by the predecessors."

　Alright, let's start with a simple rhythm.This chapter has overturned at least six beginnings in a row, and the past eight days have revolved around it, from brewing to writing to continuous overturning and rewriting, and now the core of the next episode is finally determined.The seven-day double monthly ticket on New Year's Day was all empty, and the editor on the [-]th arranged for me to push it in the middle, but in the end I had to ask the editor to remove it.It’s really not good to be empty at the beginning of a year, but at least, I am worthy of this book itself, and I am worthy of my goddess of literature... Sigh, it’s going to kill me if I continue to write like this... But it’s okay, new In this year, continue to follow the standard that must be written well!
