    "Liao thief, where is the Liao thief?" Jiang Zichun asked in a panic. In fact, the army was approaching and he could see clearly with his eyesight alone. He still grabbed the telescope from the regiment and looked out.  "Oh, there are so many people and horses." Jiang Tuanlian shouted in surprise. He swung the telescope and felt that he couldn't see the end at a glance.  Suddenly, a scarlet flag came into view, with a big Chinese character "Song", and the banners on the left and right respectively wrote "Fengtian to fight against rebellion" and "Support and protect Emperor Zhao".  Jiang Zichun said "Huh?", then looked at the flag carefully, and laughed in surprise: "The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. These are not Liao thieves. They are clearly the troops of Grand Master Cao from the Xiangyang Camp." He put down his telescope,  He didn't dare to look at his father, and only shouted in awe at the flag officer who had surprised him from the gentle countryside: "You lied about the military situation. I've sent the military stick for now. If you don't open the city gate quickly, Grand Master Cao will blame you. You can't even save your head!"  "The flag officer did not dare to delay and was in a hurry to open the city gate.  "Unbridled!" Xuezheng Jiang Fangjian shouted in a deep voice. He glared angrily at his unsatisfied son, "Don't open the city!"  To be honest, Jiang Zichun was incompetent in literature and military affairs, and could not handle the heavy tasks of the county government. Jiang Fangjian donated a large sum of money and used various means to let him serve as a regiment training officer. However, this bastard almost missed another important event.  If Jiang Fangjian didn't have only one son, he almost wanted to kill him.  The flag officer looked at the father and son timidly, but Jiang Zichun had a little courage and retorted: "Father, this is the flag of Grand Master Cao!" "So what?" Jiang Fangjian sneered, "The Ministry of War has repeatedly urged Xiangyang  The camp is marching north, but Grand Master Cao is leading his troops south. "What does he want to do?" "Rebellion?" Even a dull man like Jiang Zichun has come to his senses. The war in the north is tense, and the Cao family not only refuses to obey the order, but leads troops to the north.  Nan, what is this if not rebellion?  "Then what should we do?" Jiang Zichun stammered, "Teacher Cao," Damn it, the young master was drinking wine and listening to music, how could he be involved in a rebellion?  Jiang Fangjian frowned and looked into the distance. A huge fleet of warships came up the river, with countless flags flying, as if just one drum could crush the small Yonglong County into powder.  "Soldiers will block it, water will cover it." Jiang Fangjian's eyes showed a stern look, and he took a long breath, "Just follow the Khitan people, all regiments go to the city!" Yonglong County is the place of the Jiang family, and strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes.  Even if it's Grand Master Cao, if it's a dragon, you have to be trapped by me.  Now that they have opened the city, not only will they be extorted for food, grass and military pay, but they will also be convicted of rebellion.  In order to resist the Khitan, the Jiang family and the gentry in the city did not dare to delay in repairing the city, purchasing firecrackers and artillery, and recruiting and training regiments.  Although Yonglong is small, it may not be easy for Grand Master Cao to crack this walnut.  "Father." Jiang Zichun was still a little timid.  "That's it!" Jiang Fangjian interrupted him and turned around and said: "Gather the county students and junior students." Yonglong County has a hundred junior students in the county school, forty-three of them are those who have outstanding academic performance in the college entrance examination. In the Song Dynasty,  After entering the academic examination system, these intellectuals have a lot to live in, and people with unlimited futures are born among them.  The other fifty-five people donated their lives, representing almost all the powerful forces in the county.  In the chaos of war, all the wealthy Jin gentry took refuge in the county. Therefore, except for a few of the county students who went to Ezhou to serve the imperial court, all the students were there.  Normally, no matter how powerful the Jiang family is in Yonglong County, they can only win over these people, far from being masters and slaves.  However, the head of the first family in Yonglong County, Jiang Xuezheng, always needs to be given face.  The county town is not big, so within a short time, these white-shirted Confucian scholars were summoned to the city wall.  Many people didn't know why and looked at Lord Xuezheng in surprise.  Jiang Fangjian did not beat around the bush and briefly explained the situation of Cao Di's army going south.  "Everyone, I usually used to show my respect to Yan Zhenqing, Lord Zhang Xun, but now the traitors are making trouble. As the saying goes, times are coming, and loyal ministers are known to be loyal. Now is the time for my name to go down in history. There are originally five hundred regiments in the county.  I have already agreed with Liu Zhixian to take out the weapons from the arsenal, and pick out the best of the two and then form five regiments to go to the city to defend the city according to the previous plan.  It is agreed that all these regiments will be handed over to you." Jiang Fangjian took a long breath and said solemnly, "Whether we, a Qingliu county in Yonglong County, will be famous in history or be infamy forever, it all depends on you!" As a local leader of Yonglong,  Jiang Fangjian is familiar with the origin and temperament of every Linsheng, and is not worried at all that there are spies from the Cao family among them.  Hearing this, all the students took a deep breath.  The county school did have an agreement to fight against the Liao bandits in the early days. However, a fierce battle was required in Xiangyang before the Liao bandits could go south. We will wait and see the success or failure, and then decide what to do. If it cannot be done, the whole family will move south as soon as possible.  , but unexpectedly, he was trapped in the county town without any sound.  At this moment, ?No matter how they originally felt about the government, all the villagers were scolding Cao Di at this moment. Under the constraints of the situation, they had no choice but to act according to the original agreement.  The temporarily recruited regiments lacked officers, so the peasants temporarily took their servants to control the troops to resist foreign enemies.  "Maybe I can achieve great things like Mr. Zhao?" someone thought enthusiastically.  "I don't know who will win. At this stage, we can only save the county seat first, otherwise the rebels will come in and overturn the nest, and there will be no eggs." These are the thoughts of most people.  Jiang Zichun looked at his father nervously and was speechless.  He never expected that Jiang Fangjian would say such upright words, but in comparison, this upright father made him feel a chill in his heart.  "Follow me." Jiang Fangjian said solemnly.  The students went to gather the regiment members and acted according to the prearranged arrangements. Jiang Xuezheng led the envoy of the regiment to the tower.  However, he did not look at the military situation. Instead, he crouched in front of the case and wrote a letter. After the ink dried, he sealed it himself and gave it to Jiang Zichun.  ¡°Dad, this is it.¡± Jiang Zichun looked at his father without knowing why.  "Unlucky times, we are involved in this great change. If the city cannot hold on, you can open the city with your usual gangsters and kidnap me and give it to Grand Master Cao. This will protect the lives of my family, the Jiang family." Jiang Fangjian  Looking at his son with a shocked face, he turned his gaze to the warship flags covering the sky outside the city, sighed, and continued: "If Master Cao's plan comes true and there is no recurrence, you should keep this letter carefully.  Don't let anyone see it." He paused and continued, "If the situation changes and Grand Master Cao is defeated, take this letter and contact the party members. My father and son will follow the example of Cheng Ying and Gongsun Chujiu.  It can be regarded as a loyal family. From now on, it¡¯s up to you to carry forward the Jiang family.¡± ¡°Father,¡± Jiang Zichun said in shock, and was about to dissuade him, but Jiang Fangjian waved his hand and said in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t say anything.  As a son and a daughter, you are staying in the city for the past few days, and you cannot leave." He ignored Jiang Zichun, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "As a father, I don't object to you making friends with others.  You can't take on big things without help. There are three wise friends, friends who are straight and friends who are forgiving and knowledgeable. You can experience it yourself in the future." After saying that, Jiang Fangjian turned and left. The army was approaching, and there were thousands of things in the city that still needed to be sorted out.  "Dad" Jiang Zichun knelt on the ground, watching his father's back disappear outside the corridor of the tower, his vision becoming increasingly blurred.  At this moment, something in his head seemed to shatter with a "bang". ?????? The forward general Fan Qi couldn't help but become anxious and asked for instructions whether to attack the city.  "How dare these rats resist the army?" Cao Di was very angry. No matter how powerful the Jiang family was, Yonglong was just a local dog in his eyes.  "Have you made it clear to them?" Cao Di looked at the tooth soldiers who came to report the news.  Until now, he still didn't believe that a local dog dared to stand in front of thousands of tigers and wolves.  "I understand." Ya Bing said tremblingly, "General Fan asked people to shout to the top of the city, but the top of the city didn't believe it. He said that the imperial palace newspaper only saw the news that Grand Master Cao led the Xiangyang Camp to the Northern Expedition. How could he go south instead? It must be  "Idiot! Excuse!" Cao Di breathed heavily, "That's all?" "No," Ya Bing said again, "General Fan shot the commander's handwriting into the city and sent a messenger in."  , Result, result," he did not dare to say.  "What's the result?" Cao Di said angrily.  "The people in the city tore up the commander's handwriting without looking at it, and the messenger disappeared. They just insisted that we were fake." "How dare you, rats!" Cao Di was furious and stretched out his hand to press his sword.  He put his hand on the hilt of his sword and pondered for a long time, but he never gave the order to attack the city.  Yonglong County is not a fortified city. He can teach these arrogant local dogs a lesson with just one finger.  However, soldiers are expensive and quick.  The Xiangyang camp captured almost all the imperial court's eyes and ears overnight. The next day, they pledged their allegiance and moved south at lightning speed. The purpose was to use fast to defeat slow, and capture Ezhou before the imperial court had time to react. The most important thing was  Yes, holding the emperor hostage to order the princes.  After passing Yonglong County, southeast of Yang Fan, with favorable winds and rivers, we can approach Ezhou City in less than a day and night.  The court's capable generals and long-trained troops have all been mobilized northward. If the door is wide open, no one in Ezhou can resist Xiangyang's army this time.  "It's important." Cao Di stood up, took two steps, and said in a deep voice, "Fan Qi left two thousand infantry to watch Yonglong County. Don't let the rats escape. He led three thousand cavalry and quickly marched towards Ezhou.  , don¡¯t delay.¡±
