Guo Rong, the commander of the Feihu Army, heard that a good opportunity for meritorious service and promotion had come. When he received the imperial edict to "capture bandits", he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
But when they arrived at the Eight Hundred Miles Dongting, vast waves of smoke were seen in front, back, left, right, up and down. Guo Rong was dumbfounded: Didn¡¯t he say it was sealed off? Where are the thieves hiding?
"However, the Flying Tiger Army has a solid foundation. Although its strength is not as good as that of its predecessors, it is still short of ships and men. Finally, the whereabouts of Shen Yan, Yun Yan and others were traced to Junshan in Dongting. A good opportunity for Guo Rong to make a fortune also came. He used various excuses to collect people's wealth and steal official money
In this battle of Dongting, it is impossible for the Song Dynasty to go as smoothly as the battle of Poyang.
First, although Shen Yan fled from Gan to Hunan, he had received a call for help from a suspected Yun Yan earlier, so he was much more prepared for war than Feng Xiaoyin who was caught off guard by Shen Qianxun. The only thing that seems ridiculous is that the warship Shen spent huge sums of money to build was said to be for the imperial court, but it was actually used against the imperial court in the end.
Secondly, Hua Jinglei and his wife had been trained under Luo Yuankong, so they exceeded Empress Yang and Shi Miyuan's expectations, allowing the information to spread throughout the Eastern Front before the decisive battle. Xiao Qinhuai, Murong Villa, Huainan Fifteenth Gang, Baili Shengge, Songjiapu, Southern Volunteer Group and other remaining allied forces came to help after hearing the news. At the same time, there was also a martial arts student named Luo Riyuan who sent Leng Piaoling There is news that Dai Chen is injured but fine.
The heroes could only be excited for a moment, but they were all diluted by their anger. It should be noted that the "Flying Tiger Army" currently engaging them in hand-to-hand combat with diving, artillery and stone combat was created by Xin Qiji in the past in order to eradicate the barbarians, under the pressure of criticism and gold medals! He actually used it to beat his comrades with all his strength. It's so shameful and humiliating to his seniors!
"How could the soldiers who were supposed to be hiding against the Lin bandits be used by Shen Zhuang!" Zhao Kuo was equally angry. The battle report made him sit on pins and needles: Although the remaining Allied forces were on the fourth and fifth lines, they were able to defeat the Flying Tiger Army "half-killed" Did the outcome begin to reverse from here?
"The Holy One is right. To deal with forest bandits, troops cannot be used." Empress Yang took the plan to heart and spoke eloquently¡ª¡ª
A few years ago, Queen Yang discovered that the people in her hometown could not pay the "childbirth" tax, so even if they gave birth to a son, they would drown. , the registered population in Zhejiang and Zhejiang has increased significantly. On the birthday of the emperor and empress, when officials congratulated each other, they all conveyed the gratitude of the people
"This is their weakness." Zhao Kuo understood.
???
The central intelligence network of Rising Moon in the Sea is connected by "Jing Salamander", but because the superior manpower of this line has been transferred to "Xuanjian" and "Zhuanpo", the person who went north to report to Lin Qian this time may not be in time. , Fortunately, Ye Wenxuan, who was one step ahead, should arrive soon The pressure is getting lighter, the strength of force is high, the Allies are becoming more courageous as they fight, and the overall situation is improving.
However, the advantageous situation did not feel comfortable, but was lost and confused: the cave in the clouds, the Penglai in the water, should it be painted with pictures, or should it be swept with a giant ship?
People from the Songjiabao said that if the owner of the fort returned to Jiangxi in triumph and saw that the stream in front of his house was missing, he would probably make a fuss and overturn the house.
No one needs to beat them, Shen Yan and Hua Jinglei don¡¯t want to see their hometown and the sea is changing.
As the Order of Zaoyang, Meng Zongzheng came to negotiate with his superiors on orders, but he always remembered that he was a disciple of Tianjiao. He said to Shen Yan privately: "Public opinion is led by the court. Many people do not know the truth. The Allies have already been notorious as gangsters. Fight again. If we go on, innocent people will inevitably be harmed, and the charges will be directly confirmed. If a group of people rises up to attack, the war will undoubtedly expand. In Yunwu Mountain, everyone is still a chivalrous person, and they have made an alliance with blood to eliminate violence. How can we become violent after many years of peace and quiet? "
"Are we going to give up the struggle and surrender directly?" The boy who asked the question was Wang Jian, Lin Qian's young disciple at the Great Holy Mountain. Yes, the court is the orthodoxy. People in the Jianghu do not have to participate in national wars. They step over and over for the sake of justice. How many times have they fought to kill the enemy? Even if the court retreats, they have never surrendered! But now, where is the justice.
"It's not a surrender, it's just a plan for the people. The people are looking forward to resuming production, and they can't stay in a stalemate until April. If you pass this farming season, you will lose hope for a year." Meng Zongzheng's eyes were wet.
"Dad! But many people also support the Allies!" Meng Zongzheng's son Meng Gong was angry.
"It's even worse if the people are divided into two camps." After Jiang Weixin said it, everyone could not help but think that when Lin Qian encountered a similar situation, he would rather others unite to oppose him first.
So, the Lord would rather the people give him a bad name? However, the Allies can decide whether to do evil or not!
Bai Lu immediately appealed to all the rebels: "Everyone, Jinghu can't go to war again, the battle of Longxing Mansion can't be repeated, and the hard work of three generations can't be wasted like this!"
At that time and place, the Allied forces in the rear were leaderless and could only make compromises for the original aspirations of the people. Those who live by their ideals must be bound by their ideals.
???
But the other side was shameless and went so far as to say that if Princess Tanjing was not handed over, surrendering would always lack some sincerity.
With tens of millions of people involved, Shen Yan could no longer stop Yun Yan from coming forward, but he still hesitated to speak: "Yun Yan don't let the battle be in vain."
Yun Yan looked back and said it was okay: "Brother Shen, don't worry. There must be a bottom line for compromise."
There are mountains and mountains and ravines and ravines. I wonder if they look like the nine winding paths of Qianling Peak? He stood still and raised his eyes. Across a large expanse of green bamboo, Zhao Kuo himself was hiding behind a shield on a commanding height several feet away.
No matter what, the brother and sister should have made a direct separation.
"Have you figured out how to go back and be a hostage? Where's Ming Zheng?" He looked at her calm manner even when being ambushed from all sides, half-regretful. Maybe when he was a child, he shouldn't have taken her with him when he traveled incognito, to train her. He didn't like being restrained, so he ran away from marriage and met Lin Qian, so that all their joys and sorrows later revolved around Lin Qian.
"Were you the one who ordered Wudie to go to the border?" She wanted to hear him admit it personally.
"Zhenrong Prefecture? That is the border between the Lin bandits and the Jin army, not our Song Dynasty and the Jin army!" He confidently stated the reasons.
"Okay, let's talk about the border between Jin and Song Dynasty - even if Lin Qian is attacking in the north all year round, he still teaches Yin'er to concentrate on guarding Sichuan and Shaanxi. He has worked so hard for you like this, and what have you given them in return?!" She It was really disgusting to see him acting so unreasonable.
"That is their own hegemony. When did he and his wife have imperial power in their eyes?" He also raised his voice with the same hatred, "From Qingyuan Jiatai to Kaixi, do the people of Sichuan and Shaanxi know that there is a court!"
"Although he and his wife are authoritarian and not rude, they have an iron fist to rectify the situation, but they just don't want a second or third Guo Gao and Wu Xi in Sichuan and Shaanxi!" She argued with reason.
"It's just a vengeance to cover up, who would believe this?" He was stunned after saying that, remembering Lin Qian's good drinking ability and Feng Xiao's smiling face from Fengle Tower that year.
"You believe it. You believed it before. You said that only Lin Qian can realize your ideal of Beiding in the Central Plains." She also thought of the same pair of people, cute but always made her sentimental.
"Lin Qian's so-called Beiding Central Plains is different from what I want!" He couldn't bear to look back on the past. Although he roared, he also lamented, "Upstairs in Fengle in the capital, it was a big dream after all"
"What's the difference! The capital you mentioned has always been Bianliang, why did it change to Lin'an because of a villain?"
"You also know that the capital city is Bianliang, let alone Zhenrongzhou and Huining. Blackwater? Suzhou? Guazhou? That's not even my territory of the Song Dynasty! But he insisted on plundering so far away, For my own sake, I have provoked powerful enemies and sacrificed so many of my elites!" It was March, the Battle of Suzhou had long ended, Genghis Khan was defeated miserably, and Lin Qian took a step further on the front line, which also caused Zhao Kuo to restrain himself. Dare to capture Yun Yan alive, let alone let her die.
"Only those with a big picture know what it means to their home country if their neighbors are invaded by powerful enemies. Those with a low vision only blame you for attacking too far." Yun Yan smiled, but Xia Chong was speechless.
"The pattern is huge. From Jin to Song to Xia to Liao, he cares about the people of every country." Zhao Kuo also sneered and mocked, "There is no boundary between family and country in his eyes."
"You know clearly that Lin Qian only cares about the stability of the world. So you have identified him, and even if he is better than you, he will make concessions to you for the sake of the people?"
Shen Yan was nearby to protect him. He was still concentrating, but suddenly he was shocked. Is this the purpose of Yun Yan's visit?
Negotiations are always based on performance. Why should you be asked for money again and again if you win? You should gain something if you lose it! After the battle of Dongting, the allied forces voluntarily gave up the struggle, Meng Zongzheng, the king of Jinghu, who could do as much as possible, appeared, and the people of the Southern Song Dynasty all understood 100%. Allied forces and Lin Qian's side¡ª¡ª
"Who is superior and who is inferior, who kidnaps the people, who moves the people, whose people are they, and who deserves the support of the people!? There are too many villains, and there may not be an answer right away. It doesn't matter, I can afford to wait, I want to ask this question Word of mouth!"
Yun Yan said what he said, and the Song court was in trouble - Master Wang dared to threaten the allies again and again even though he was at a disadvantage because of his understanding of Lin Qian. This confirmed from the opponent's perspective that Lin Qian was concerned about the life and death of the people. In this way, Compromising by the Allied forces was not considered unethical. Instead, it gained enough people's hearts to support the war. By the way, it also promoted a wave of the world's pattern. It was better than Beiding's Central Plains to seal the wolf and live in Xu. The people of Song Dynasty were also the people of Han and Tang Dynasties But if Wang For the sake of these empty hearts, the division changed its tune and refused to accept the Allies' compromise. Then the defeat will become more and more miserable. Where can I put my face?
??????????????????? So don¡¯t be a good boy when you get an advantage, and quickly withdraw the troops while the Allies have a truce. Princess Tanjing can't afford anything she wants. Only by not clinging to the Allies after the war can we stop the spread of these words and minimize the damage caused by the Battle of Dongting
Unexpectedly, after the Song Emperor came to his senses, he became angry and went crazy: "Catch this shrew, Lin"My mistress! "
Zhao Kuo¡¯s crazy move told Yun Yan that it had always been Empress Yang who made the plans, but it was him who gave the orders. He was usually indecisive and never blinked when he made a move.
???
Seeing that the situation was out of control and the war started again, someone came from behind the Song Emperor, grabbed him by the corner of his clothes, and started negotiating in reverse¡ª¡ª
The one who can take care of Fourth Young Master Shen must be Shen Xuanru, the eldest son of the Shen family: "Your Majesty, the traitor Shen Yan is causing chaos in Jinghu. The Shen family will sever ties with him. I will take charge of the family business and continue to protect Lin'an's prosperity."
On the surface, the Emperor of Song was given enough face and took advantage of Shen Yan's crisis to occupy Shen Village, but Shen Xuanru's implication was that Lin Qian was on the front line, and the people had always provided food and grass voluntarily, or because the food was lost to the enemy, our Shen Village was just the icing on the cake for him. , On the contrary, Your Majesty, please do not commit suicide.
The Emperor of Song Dynasty was suddenly awakened. Yes, if the negotiation with the Jin Kingdom was successful, he would have to increase the annual coins. How could he completely offend the wealthy Shen Zhuang? Moreover, at this point in the war, the performance of the Flying Tiger Army was really ugly; and unlike his brothers, Shen Xuanru was a soft persimmon
Both sides wanted to return the land of plenty to its former glory, so they each took a step back and turned their hostilities into friendship. The Allied forces retreated at the request of the King, and Wang Shi withdrew in a flash. Shen Xuanru stayed in Dongting to act as a hostage, while Shen Yan and Yun Yan left unnoticed.
Generally speaking, the Allies suffered more losses, but fortunately Yunyan regained a victory and prevented future troubles.
From that day on, Shen Yan began the arduous transfer and escort of Yun Yan.
"Brother Shen, what are you thinking about?" At the border between Jin and Song Dynasties, when Yun Yan followed Shen Yan to escape Leng Tie Zhang's search, she saw him smiling self-deprecatingly.
"I think of ten years ago, when we were in Cangwu Mountain, a group of people gathered around a campfire and talked about our ideals. I said that I wanted to be a thief that no detective could catch." Shen Yan was enjoying himself in the bitterness, "Dream come true."
"Ten years ago in the Jianghu of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Shen Zhuang brothers were 'three heroes in one discipline'. More than ten years later, although they have changed people and temperaments, they are still three heroes in one discipline." Yun Yan said seriously.
???
No matter how cautious Yun Yan¡¯s words are, she can¡¯t hide the bad nature of the court.
Lin Qian and Xu Yuan re-read Zhen Gang's intelligence. On the eastern front is Haiyan Heqing, on the middle line is Feihu catching bandits, and on the western front is the anti-Mongolian craze in full swing - almost all the people there support the short knife valley, and there are plans to cover the sun and destroy the soul. The two branches were divided into Sichuan and Shaanxi. Song Ting did not dare to make mistakes in the intelligence, and could only rely on public opinion to encourage them. Jin Ting's young men also helped to raid the formation.
No wonder the Allied forces on the Western Front kept sending troops here. Gao Fenglei and He Huiru, for example, were not urgently needed by Lin Qian, but were brought here by this trend. Song Ting, the instigator, will get two benefits from this. Lin Qian's rear is empty, and Lin Qian's news is not good.
In this way, the information that Lin Qian was most proud of was completely cut away. You know, Genghis Khan could only cut for three days at most. Song Ting was much more powerful than the Mongolian army, so how could it be weak!
The only one in the Song Dynasty who was willing to give information to the frontline allies about the "big bandit" was to show weakness.
In late March, only Ye Wenxuan and three others, who pretended to be crazy and acted like fools, attached themselves to the Southern Song Dynasty mission and were able to pass the border. However, because they underestimated the speed of the Song Emperor's attack, did not know that the Allied forces on the eastern front were in danger, and witnessed the confusing battle of Guazhou, they The three of them didn't want to bother and deliberately concealed it, so Lin Qiancai was still a man in the world, freely running around on the battlefield.
Due to the Poyang and Dongting wars, people in the Jianghu actually rebelled, but they compromised for the sake of the people. Yun Yan said that the officers and soldiers also stopped their losses in time, so even if Lin Qian was well-informed, he would probably fight with Bai Lu, Jiang Weixin and others A choice. After thinking about the above, the people in the Song court had the confidence to allow Shen Yan and Yun Yan to approach Yangguan in order to attack Lin Qian's heart.
But they seem to have forgotten that there is a huge gap between the fourth and fifth lines and the first line. Lin Qian has the power to decide how the Allies will go in the future.
