The second year of Jingkang came quietly and unknowingly.
Jiangnan, spring has returned to the earth.
It¡¯s still cold in the north of the Great Wall Although the peach tree in the courtyard is green, its bare branches make people feel a little lonely.
Yuyin sat on the porch, her fingers unconsciously brushing the strings.
The dragon roared from the dead wood and let out a faint sigh, which was misty in the courtyard and always gave people an extremely unreal feeling.
spring is coming!
The Battle of Zhulu Mountain included two battlefields: Zhulu Mountain and Sanggan River.
The Song Army achieved a complete victory in this battle. Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Loushi were killed, which shocked Wanyan Wu.
The fourth prince, Jin Wushu, was attacked by the Song army in Jiming Mountain and died in the rebellion.
When the Zhongshi heard that Yu Yin had sneaked into Jiming Mountain, they were frightened. They quickly asked Yu Yin to send an order, ordering Wu Jie and the prince's troops to withdraw from Jiming Mountain and retreat a hundred miles to station in Yongxing County. This Yongxing County is later known as Zhulu County in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. The war has reached this point, and the Jurchens are bound to lose. If he continues to occupy Zhulu Mountain, Wanyan Wu will definitely beg for money and make a desperate counterattack. After all, Jiming Mountain is related to the connection between Xijing Datong Prefecture and Zhongjing.
As long as Jiming Mountain is not occupied by the Song army, Xijing will not become a lonely army.
The reason why Zhongshizhong made this decision was also to prevent Xiliao from becoming bigger If Xiliao occupied Datong, Xijing, its strength would be greatly increased. A Jurchen has already given the Song Dynasty a lot of headaches. If a Xiliao is added it would be better to leave Datong Mansion in Xijing to the Jurchens and let them compete with Xiliao. Only in this way can the balance of the situation in northern Xinjiang be maintained.
Chen Gui explained Zhongshizhong¡¯s thoughts to Yuyin, but Yuyin didn¡¯t take it seriously.
The reason for starting the war with the Jurchens was to allow the Xiliao soldiers to enter Mobei. Now, Yelu Yuliyan has arrived in Mobei, and he has fulfilled his original promise. As for the next game between Xiliao and the Jurchens, it is not his decision.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? What really makes the seed masters angry. It was not Yu Yin who secretly attacked Jiming Mountain without authorization.
Sun Hai killed all the eight thousand captured gold soldiers on the banks of the Sanggan River, and the blood dyed the Sanggan River red
After this happened. It caused northern Xinjiang to tremble.
?According to Yu Yin, Sun Hai and the Jurchens had a deep hatred, which is why he did such a crazy move. After beheading the Jurchen prisoners. Sun Hai also committed suicide. Since he holds the military talisman, Gao Chong and others must also obey his orders. Of course the masters knew the mystery behind this. If it hadn't been for Yu Yin's order, who among the prince's own troops would have commanded such arrogant generals as Gao Chong He Yuanqing? Even Wu Jie may not be able to mobilize Gao Chong's back.
However, Sun Hai¡¯s head has been delivered.
Bloody and blurry.
The Seed Master Center knew very well that this could never be the head of Sun Hai, a descendant of Lao Shi.
So many people died in the battle of Zhulu Mountain. God knows where Yuyin cut off the head of a Yanyun Han man to make up for the loss.
¡°That Sun Hai, I¡¯m afraid he has already disappeared without a trace
But what if it¡¯s clear?
It is impossible for Master Zhong to turn against Yu Yin because of this incident.
Not to mention that he can't sanction Yu Yin, even if he can sanction him, I'm afraid his brother won't agree.
The teacher had to severely reprimand him. Yuyin was ordered to rectify the prince's personal army, and asked him to withdraw from Yuzhou and retreat to Yinchengfang to rest.
We really can¡¯t let him go to the front line again!
This guy is so bold that he even dares to do things like kill prisoners.
Jiming Mountain is the only way for the Jurchens to contact Xijing. If the prince's troops continue to be stationed in Yongxing, what trouble will happen if the troops are not kept intact.
so. Zhong Shizhong ordered Yue Fei to lead his troops to take over Yu Yin's garrison in Yongxing.
At the same time, Niugao was stationed in Ding'an to monitor the collapsing ridge coalition forces on the north bank of the Sangqian River, forming a situation in which he and Yue Fei echoed each other.
Pang Wanchun's department was transferred to Yingzhou, and Pang Wanchun was appointed as the military and horse supervisor of Yingzhou.
Chen Gui was also transferred from the prince's personal army and took up the post of Pingzhou garrison. He governed the three states of Pingzhou, Yingzhou and Luanzhou, which served as the eastern barrier of Yanshan Prefecture. In this way, with Chen Gui in the east, Yue Fei in the west, and Han Shizhong stationed in Gubei Pavilion in the middle, the defense of Yanshan Mansion can be described as amazing. Originally, the planting master wanted to take Wu Jie away from Yu Yin, but Yu Yin sternly refused.
You know, according to Yu Yin's idea, sooner or later he will withdraw from the prince's personal army.
And Wu Jie is the most suitable successor in his mind
Furthermore, Wu Jie himself did not want to leave the prince's army, so Yu Yin naturally refused to be in the army.
Unexpectedly, such a master would not give up. Seeing that Wu Jie was not coming, he asked Yu Yin for Wu Lin.
Wu Lin has no objection to this.
Speaking of which, Wu Lin was originally a member of the Northwest Army, and Zhongshi Dao, the elder brother of Zhongshi, had a very high status in the Northwest Army.
??Xianggong Jinglue, during the Zhenghe period, refers to the way of cultivating teachers.
However, as Zhongshidao entered the Privy Council, the Battle of Kaifeng became even more famous. He was getting old, so he became an old man. Zhong Shizhong also took the title of Xiaozhong Manager Xianggong because he took up the position of Hebei East Road pacification system envoy. So in the final analysis, in Wu Lin's heart, she has a greater sense of belonging among the seed masters.
He was in a different situation from Wu Jie in that he had not participated in the battle that made the prince's army famous.
Although they caught up with the Battle of Yanshan later, they only captured Lingqiu and killed Wulin Da'alu Therefore, compared with Wu Jie, Wu Lin had no sense of belonging to the prince's army. In his opinion, the prince's army will return to Tokyo sooner or later, so it is better to stay in Yanshan Mansion. On the one hand, they can continue to fight against the Jurchens, and on the other hand, they can also serve in the Zhongshi.
Since Wu Lin did not object, Yu Yin did not stop it.
¡°Forcibly keeping a person who has no sense of belonging to the crown prince¡¯s army, no matter how powerful he is, Yu Yin will not rest assured
In this way, the Seed Master Center was satisfied with Wu Lin and ordered Wu Lin to garrison Juyongguan.
Yu Yin originally thought that the matter would end like this, but unexpectedly, the seed master took the next step and asked Yu Yin for soldiers and horses.
"Does the stud have no soldiers and horses to use?"
Yu Yin was surprised and puzzled when he heard it.
Hebei East Road under the control of Zhongshizhong now has at least 120,000 troops. Why should I ask him for troops again?
Zhong Shizhong smiled and said: "Yanshan Mansion currently has 120,000 soldiers and horses, but your prince's personal army is nearly 20,000.
Wang Yuan lent me eight thousand troops and horses, Huang Qianshan lent me 20,000 troops and horses, and Commander Zong lent me more than 10,000 troops and horses These troops and horses will all be returned in the future. As a result, our Yanshan Mansion only has fifty thousand left. If it were placed in the past, it would be enough. But you captured Weizhou. To obtain the land of six counties, we also need troops and horses to be stationed Have you ever thought about it? This way. I analyze how many soldiers and horses the Jin Mansion still has?
The three prefectures of Pingzhou have a total of 13,000 people; Gubei Hall has about 8,000 people, and there are also 8,000 people stationed in Yongxing County. In this way, I estimate that there are only 20,000 people in Jinfu, and there are thousands of craftsmen from the firearms camp. How can these soldiers and horses be enough? So please ask Xiao B for help. "
If calculated this way, Yanshan Mansion is indeed weak in military strength.
Yu Yin frowned and said, "But there are more than 10,000 volunteers who came from all over the country."
"Most of those people are just a mob, how can they be reused?
"Xiao Yi, don't think that I have other intentions. In fact, doing this is also a good thing for you. Your prince's personal army has made great achievements this time, and its strength has reached 20,000. With these many soldiers and horses, even if you have the support of the prince, you will inevitably be plotted against. Eight thousand The prince's personal army has eight thousand regular soldiers and seven thousand miscellaneous soldiers. Anything more is not a good thing.
I don¡¯t want much, my eight thousand miscellaneous soldiers are enough. "
Eight thousand miscellaneous soldiers?
This old boy really dares to say
"Eight thousand miscellaneous soldiers, but they were all trained by me at my own expense. How can you just take them away?"
"Xiao Yi, you can recruit another 3,000 people from the volunteers to your command. This way, it won't attract anyone's attention.
"I also know that you have put in a lot of effort for these soldiers and horses. I don't want you to have 8,000 men in vain My family also has some relationship with Taitai Ridge. If you take the trade route of Taitai Ridge in the future, I will try my best to cooperate. Haha, do you think this is okay? "
Collapse Ridge?
That is the Mongolia of later generations!
Yuyin knows. This is just a piece of pie painted by the farmer.
Whether it can succeed or not is still open to question But for this reason, Yu Yin really couldn't refuse the seed master.
"In that case, let's follow what the breeder said."
Yuyin left Xijin Mansion feeling unhappy.
After he led the prince's personal army to Yinchengfang, he began to rest and recuperate.
However, this new year arrived unknowingly, making him suddenly feel a little homesick. At this time the year before last, I was on the way to Hangzhou; at this time last year, I was fighting with the bandits. Three years later, I got married, started a business, and had two daughters. However, I have never reunited with my family for the New Year, which is really a pity.
I don¡¯t know what Sister Jiuer and Jinlian are doing?
When she thought of Yan Nu and Yang Jinlian, Yu Yin's thoughts suddenly became confused.
The beautiful figure of Yelu Yuliyan suddenly flashed in my mind, and the smiles of Zhao Fujin and Zhao Duofu suddenly appeared Damn it, how could I think about these things! Yuyin frowned, shook his head vigorously, took a long breath and stood up.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the hospital.
Rhodes hurriedly walked into the courtyard, came to Yuyin and bowed in salute, "Mr. Lang, there is a group of volunteers outside. They say they are here on the order of Mr. Xiao Zhong."
Volunteer?
Yu Yin was startled, scratched his head and said, "Let me take a look."
When the two went out, they met Yang Zaixing coming over, so Yuyin asked Yang Zaixing to walk out of the city together.
After leaving the city, they saw a group of soldiers and horses in ragged clothes standing outside the city waiting. At the head were two strong men, one in his early forties and the other in his early twenties. Both of them were originally sitting on the ground wearing a shabby cotton robe. When they saw Yu Yin and others coming, they quickly stood up and turned around to reprimand loudly, causing everyone else to stand up as well.
"Xiaodi Wuling Zhongxiang heard that Langjun was fighting with the bandits in Yanshan Mansion, so he led his fellow villagers to come and join him.
¡°I didn¡¯t want to encounter heavy snow on the way and delay the journey When we arrived at Yanshan Mansion, the war was over. Mr. Xiao Zhong cherishes our loyalty, so he ordered us to come and report to the prince's army. May I ask who the senior official is? Can you introduce Mr. Yulang? "
??Zhong Xiang?
Yu Yin was startled and felt that the name was quite familiar.
"I am Yu Yin, can you two write official documents for each other?"
"ah¡¡"
Hearing this, the two big men hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "I don't know that Mr. Zhong (Yang Yao) has been rude in front of you. Please forgive me."
As he spoke, Zhong Xiang took out an official document and handed it to Yu Yin.
??Zhong Xiang, Yang Yao
Yuyin suddenly shivered, "Are you two from Dongting?"
"Ah? How does Mr. Lang know our origins Although Xiaodi is not from Dongting. But Wuling is not far from Dongting."
It is indeed them!
Yu Yin couldn't help but wonder, these two were famous rebels in history.
Among them, Yang Yao is the most famous. The officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed him several times, but they were defeated miserably. In the end, he was killed by Yue Fei Niugao.
Speaking of Yue Zhong, Yang Yao once asked Wang Zuo to lobby Yue Fei, but failed.
But Yuyin knows. That's just a legend. There was indeed a man named Wang Zuo in history, but he was a famous official in the Southern Song Dynasty and had never been attached to Yang Yao. There was no trick to persuade Lu Wenlong to surrender. Thinking of this, Yuyin couldn't help but narrow her eyes. Look at the young man next to Zhong Xiang. This guy is Yang Yao, how could he come to Yanshan to join me?
Ha, this history has really become a mess.
He opened the official document and read it ten lines at a time, and then he understood the origin of Zhong Xiang.
"This kind of division is so unreasonable. They want eight thousand troops from me, but they give me such a bunch of hard-working men to make up for the loss."
Looking at these emaciated and embarrassed volunteers, Yu Yin decided to refuse. But he can't be cruel.
¡°Since it¡¯s a business trip, let¡¯s stay.
"Zhong Xiang Yang Yao, follow me into the city The rest of the people will be assigned to you, Dalang, and they will stay in the supply camp for the time being." "
Zhong Xiang brought more than 600 people.
?According to what he said, when he was traveling north from his hometown. There were more than a thousand people accompanying him.
But from Wuling to Yanshan Mansion, it is more than a thousand miles away. They encountered all kinds of difficulties and dangers along the way, the soil and water were not suitable for them, ice and snow blocked the road, and food and grass were not available so much so that when they arrived at Yanshan Mansion, not even half of them were left. And every one of them is weak. Sick and sick. Yu Yin didn't want it, but the loyalty of these people made it difficult for him to refuse.
Rhodes agreed and took the people away.
Yu Yin led Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao to prepare to enter the city. Unexpectedly, Yang Yao whispered a few words in Zhong Xiang's ear. Zhong Xiang seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly called Yu Yin.
"Mr. Lang, I have something to report."
"oh?"
"Xiaodi met a person on the way and found a letter from him It seemed that he was an envoy from the bandits and was going to Kaifeng."
This sentence is very clever, meet someone!
Yuyin couldn't help but laugh. He could guess the clues in general. It must be that people like Zhong Xiang couldn't stand it on the road and started doing business without capital.
However, he did not tell the truth, but asked curiously: "What kind of letter is it?"
Zhong Xiang took out a dirty, wrinkled, and blood-stained letter from his arms and carefully handed it to Yu Yin.
Opening the letter, Yu Yin glanced at it and immediately frowned.
"What text is this?"
He scratched his head and said to Yang Zaixing: "Go to Rhodes and come back as his replacement.
"You send those heroes to the supply camp on his behalf, so that they can be properly settled in the Yamen This does not seem to be Han writing. "
After a while, Rhodes came back!
He took the letter, glanced at it, and said softly: "Mr. Lang, this is Khitan text."
"Can Dalang read Khitan script?"
Rhodes immediately smiled, puffed up his chest and said: "When I was in Taiyuan, I often had contact with Liao people, Jurchens and Xixia people. In the past two years, I have a thorough understanding of both Khitan and Xixia texts. How can I Maybe I can hide it from my family."
"Well, let's go back to the commander's house to talk."
Yu Yin and Luo De led Zhong Xiang Yang Yao back to the Commander's Mansion.
After returning to the Commander's Mansion, he summoned two soldiers and asked them to take Yang Yao, the Prime Minister of Zhong, to freshen up and change his clothes.
It won¡¯t work if you don¡¯t change it!
These two people are almost stinking
It¡¯s better outside, but once you enter the lobby, it¡¯s especially obvious.
After that, Yuyin asked people to prepare wine and food, waiting for Zhong and Xiang to return. Taking advantage of this time, Rhodes read the letter again, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.
"Dalang, what's written on it?"
Rhodes said softly: "Lang Jun, the content here is weirdly tight."
"how do I say this?"
¡°It says here that food prices in Linhuang Mansion have soared and food shortages are serious.
He asked a person named Yu Dugu to buy more food in Kaifeng and go back He also said that it was not too late to finalize the matter as soon as possible. "
Yu Yin wondered: "What's weird about this?"
"But as far as I know, the price of food in Linhuang Mansion is very stable now."
"oh?"
"There is another sentence here, if the junior official refuses to agree, then talk to the senior official."
Yuyin was still confused and looked at Rhodes blankly.
Rhodes said softly: "Mr. Lang, do you know that Yelu Yujian's alias is Yu Dugu?"
"ah?"
"On the surface, there is nothing wrong with this letterbut if you taste it carefully, it is quite mysterious.
The price of food in Linhuang Mansion has soared. Does this mean that the situation among the bandits is critical? The so-called buying of grain is actually to provoke civil strife in the Song Dynasty? Sir, you should know that Taishang Daojun and the official family are at odds, and they have been fighting endlessly since Taishang Daojun returned to the court. "
Yuyin shivered with excitement and was stunned.
With Rhode¡¯s analysis, it sounds like that¡¯s really the case
"The little official refers to Zhao Huan, and the old official refers to Zhao Ji?" Zhao Huan will definitely not bow his head easily this time; and the old official
However, this is all Rhodes's guess, and there is no evidence.
Yu Yin took the letter and wandered around the house.
After a long time, he suddenly said to Rhodes: "Da Lang, I want to go back to Kaifeng."
"Then this way"
Yu Yin scratched his head and felt extremely distressed.
At this time, Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao came back from washing, and Yu Yin put the matter aside for the time being.
That night, he held a banquet in the Commander's Mansion in honor of Zhong Xiang and the two, and arranged for the two of them to listen to orders under Wu Jie's tent Yu Yin had something on her mind, so after eating and drinking, she sent Zhong Xiang Yang Yao away and went to bed early. Early the next morning, he was planning to call in Rhodes to continue discussing the matter, but he didn't want someone to report that someone from the Jijin Mansion was coming, and the master asked Yu Yin to go there immediately.
Seeing that the seed master was in a hurry, Yuyin had to put aside the letter for the time being, and went straight to Xijin Mansion with his two favorites, He Yuanqing.
This journey took place day and night, so I won¡¯t go into details.
On the third day, when Yuyin arrived at Xijin Mansion, she realized something was wrong.
Based on the upper and lower palaces of Jinjinfu, they were all wearing Ma Yi, shrouded in a sad atmosphere.
¡°Brother, what happened?¡±
It has only been ten days, and the planters are looking very haggard.
Seeing Yu Yin arrive, he led Yu Yin into the room and there was a young man. Yu Yin recognized it at a glance, it was Zhong Shidao's eldest grandson, Zhong Yanchong.
Zhong Yanchong was wearing hemp and filial piety, with a sad look on his face.
Seeing Yu Yin, he quickly bowed and saluted.
"Xiao Langjun, what are you"
When Zhong Yanchong heard Yu Yin's question, he burst into tears and said, "YuJun, Weng Weng Weng Weng, he, he, he is gone! "
