Shao Song

Chapter 38: Xuedu (Part 2)

   "Officials, it is convenient to enter the city!" Seeing the city wall covering the Neidu, the watchtower on the city wall was brightly lit, and Yang Yizhong suddenly turned back to remind. "I heard from people who came here before that there were burnt boats and wooden fences in the river, and several water gates were broken. They need some guidance to get there. Officials, please don't speak for now."

   "Zhengfu is at will." Zhao Jiu held the food box in his arms, not caring.

   "You dare to come to Cai?" Seeing a ship approaching and Song Jun sailors shouting, the Xia Caicheng sergeant who was guarding the water gate directly shouted. "Men, these turtles and grandchildren eat fragrant and spicy food in Henan, and throw the grandpas here, do you want to have a conscience?"

"roll roll roll!"

   Before Yang Yizhong could speak, a figure dressed as an officer appeared in the watchtower on the city wall, but it was more direct. "If you dare to have turtle eggs to bother me, I will just let go of my arrows!"

   "Is it the old man Li in the Hezhong Mansion?!" When Yang Yizhong heard this person's voice, he was almost immediately furious. "Who gave you the courage to be unclean to me? I have imperial decree on my body. I want to see Taiwei Zhang. Now I quickly send someone down to lead the way, and then look for the leader of the field (in the division) to come to the inner crossing. Don't be troublesome!"

The man seemed to recognize Yang Yizhong’s voice, and after a while he sent someone to report it, and personally carried a lantern down to give instructions. However, when he came to the water gate, he couldn’t help but mumbled on the shore: “Yang Dalang is now The celebrities in front of the official family are naturally fierce. Where do you know our suffering? We were thrown down here, and Neidu was burned again, just like a father and mother..."

   "Laosan Li!" If it was normal, Yang Yizhong would listen to the nonsense of the other party if he couldn't say it, but there was someone in the boat today, how could he let the other party talk so endlessly. "The official family has already killed Liu Guangshi. Don't say anything. In the current situation, the ministers on the other side have advised the official family to go first, but the official family is unwilling to leave. Isn't it because of you? This is the end of the matter. What can you complain about? At this position, it's okay to look at the official Longqi on the opposite side!"

   "Go this way, you don't need to pull the water gate, here is more than half of it burned, and you can pass the ship directly..." The old man Li stood on the bank of the door and directed the ship into the city in a muffled voice, but he couldn't help muttering loudly. "Who knows if it's just a dragon flag, the official family has already gone to Yangzhou? Hearing people say that Yangzhou Jinshan Yinhai... and Liu Guangshi, you know that you bluff me, a lieutenant is bigger than lieutenant Zhang, others My father is Taiwei, how can I kill it? Who do you fool? The head is sent for me to see!"

   Yang Yi was so angry that he was half dead, but there was no movement when he stared at the official, but he had to pretend that he couldn't hear it anymore.

In this way, after the ship entered the inner ferry covered by the city wall along the water gate, although it was open for a while, it was winding for a long time because of the complicated water regime. After listening to the complaints of the youngest for a long time, it found a suitable place to stay. Go ashore...At this time, Tian Shizhong, the Chinese general under Zhang Jun's command, was already waiting here.

   "Don't say anything, don't look indiscriminately, the official is here." As soon as Yang Yizhong went ashore, he held his former colleague and whispered to each other. "Don't disturb others, take us to see Taiwei quickly."

Tian Shizhong was surprised and suspicious, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just turned around and ordered his subordinates to fetch some horses, and then couldn't help but seize the opportunity to peek at him one by one until he caught a glimpse of Zhao Jiu himself, who was holding the food box. He quickly turned around, and soon after the horses arrived, he led the way again.

   This time, it may be that the night is late and the snow is quite deep. There is not much congestion on the road. Almost a moment later, the group of people has arrived at a spacious mansion that has already quieted down.

Besides, Tian Shizhong is Zhang Jun’s confidant and his confidant, so he doesn’t need any communication at all. The front sends someone to call Zhang Jun to his feet, and the leader of the field directly connects Zhao Jiu and Yang Yizhong all the way. He was led to Zhang Jun's bedroom in the backyard, when the light in the bedroom just turned on.

   After a while, his own maid opened the door, and Zhao Jiu stopped hiding, and went in with the food box alone.

   "Officials!"

   Zhang Jun was half-length naked, and there were two naked concubines on the bed. He wanted to scold him when he saw the visitor, but when he waited for the other party to put down the food box and take off the helmet, he turned over and knelt in shock. "How did the official family get here? The prime minister, Yu Shi, the servant, and Yang Yizhong should all be cut!"

Seeing this shape, Zhao Jiu waved his hand first, letting the two concubines who were frightened for a while and the rest of the maids in the house wrapped in bedding to leave, and waited until the door was'should be cut', Yang Yizhong and Tian Shizhong cleared the field together. , Closed the door, and just sat down shivering by a stove in the house:

   "The weather is cold. I crossed the river and came over with cold hands. I won't help you anymore. Taiwei Zhang quickly get up and sit down... I just send a few things and talk a few gossips, and I won't be able to stay long!"

   Zhang Jun hurriedly got up when he heard the words, but he found an exquisite silver heater on his bed and handed it over. Then he tied his clothes in embarrassment and sat down opposite Zhao Jiu, but his brain was still blank.

   "Open it and take a look." Zhao Jiu said to the food box on the table.

   Zhang Boying didn't dare to neglect, she opened the food box directly, but was stunned to see that there was a saltwater duck with one leg missing, and instantly she didn't know what to say.

   "Today on New Year's Eve, I hosted a banquet in the north of the Palgong Mountain in Huainan to entertain Wenwu. This was specially prepared for me by Lin Jingmo, the prefect of Shouzhou." Zhao Jiu said while holding the warm stove. "After I ate a leg, I suddenly thought of you and me at the Dongtai Pavilion in Beifeikou, thinking that I will bring it to you anyway... It is not tasty at this time, steam it and use it tomorrow morning!"

   Zhang Jun opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

   "There is still a layer below!" Zhao Jiu continued to speak.

Zhang Jun quickly removed the interlayer, but fell back in amazement. It turned out that the bottom of the food box was covered with a layer of snow and ice slag. On the ice slag, there was a first stage that was frozen hard. The first stage was lifelike, but it was Liu Guangshi. Liu Taiwei! In this case, it can only be said that the poor people of the past generations of Western Army generals, once died, fell into a situation where they are not even as good as ducks. It is really regrettable.

   "Actually, I didn't want to bring Liu Guangshi to the first level." Zhao Jiu continued hurriedly. "For those who celebrate the New Year, it would be disappointing to bring this, but if you don't bring it, you don't know what to bring..."

   "Liu Guangshi is really dead?!" Zhang Jun finally couldn't help but said, but he didn't know whether it was emotional or doubtful.

   "Really dead." Zhao Jiu answered calmly. "He died at night when he crossed the river, I asked Wang De to hold his left hand, Fu Qing held his right hand, and killed him in front of him... Then cut off the first level, telling the three armies, and I will bring it to you tonight. At first glance, I'm afraid you won't believe it."

   Zhang Jun was rather embarrassed: "The minister thought it was just an error in terms of the purpose of sending to the shore."

   "Don't talk about this." Zhao Jiu put down the stove and took out another thing from his arms, but it was a bunch of frost-colored grapes. As a result, the thing was put on the table, but it clanged again. "This is also with you."

   Zhang Jun reached out and touched it, only to realize that such a lifelike grape was made by Liuli. Needless to say, this is a very precious treasure.

   "This is what Yangzhou Zhizhou paid tribute to." Before Zhang Boying wanted to give thanks, Zhao Jiu went on to explain simply. "This time the southeast military prefectures sent a lot of good things, Lu Xianggong persuaded me to smash them all, in order to show simplicity...If Li Xianggong (Li Gang) is here, I am afraid I can't smash them, but since it is Lu Xianggong, I said there was no need, so I saved it, and then in the daytime I even gave away the rewards during the New Year. And this bunch of grapes, I guess, should be the most precious of them, and I happen to hear someone say that you are something else. It's all good, it's greedy for money, so I left it alone for you."

   Zhang Jun opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

   "In fact, in the past few days, the civil and military people on the other side are talking about you, saying that you will inevitably come down, and then persuade me to leave here early and go to Yangzhou." Zhao Jiu continued to hug the stove and said. "And I think so too, because people who are greedy for money are inevitably greedy for life... But if you suddenly descend, or abandon the city and run away, I really have nothing to say."

   Zhang Jun hurried to kneel again, but Zhao Jiu stretched out his hand to hold the opponent's arm. The former didn't dare to move any more, so he could only sit back.

"Taiwei Zhang, I am here today to calm your heart, but I don't know if it's useful to come here. But if I don't come to send you this duck, this head, and this bunch of grapes, With these words of nonsense, what can the official I do at this time?"

   Having said that, Zhao Jiu put down the heater with one hand and sighed. "Come here today, that's the intention... One is to give you a New Year's gift, and I want to take this to reiterate the promise of Dongtai Pavilion that day, as long as you can fight against the gold and can give it to you, I will not be stingy; the second is I want to make a gentleman's agreement with you that Liu Guangshi will cause a catastrophe and make Xia Caicheng a lonely city, so you can defend this city, you can’t defend it, and you are ready to surrender and abandon. I don’t blame you, but if then My dragon is still on the other side, please be sure to read it for today’s sake and give me a message in advance! That’s all!"

  As he said, Zhao Jiu didn't delay any longer, but he just got up and put on his helmet, and then left.

Zhang Junmang got up in a daze, ready to follow, but Zhao Jiu raised his hand to stop him, he could only let the official Zhao’s family hurriedly come and leave... and after half an hour had passed, when the sky had begun to be clouded, he gave him away. Zhao Guan’s family returned from Tian Shizhong who had boarded the ship, only to find that Taiwei Zhang was still sitting at the table looking at the saltwater duck, the blood-melted head, and the bunch of grapes that never faded.

   "What happened to Taiwei today?" Tian Shizhong entered, first glanced at the head, swallowed for a long time and eased, but he couldn't help but feel puzzled. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "I sat outside with Yang Dalang and listened for a long time. The officials are sincere and sincere, and if Taiwei wants to leave, why not take the opportunity to say? If you want to stick to it, why not take the opportunity to show your loyalty? Can't say a word?"

   "I'm still in a dream now!" Zhang Jun suddenly raised his head, revealing two red eyes. "Oda, you said that such a person who puts his heart in his heart, who is soft but hard, is really the official family of Zhao Song?"

   Tian Shizhong was also silent for an instant.

And after a full stick of incense, Tian Shizhong said with emotion: "It is good to teach Taiwei to know another little thing... Yang Dalang secretly asked me for Zhao Yushi in the courtyard before, and I privately arranged for someone to send it. Zhao Yushi went to Xianghou at the ferry."

   "This is right." Zhang Jun answered casually.

"Then Zhao Yushi saw the official at the ferry, but he didn't want to return to Henan. Instead, he temporarily stomped his feet and made up his mind, saying that he wanted to stay and help the Taiwei defend the city, and the official also rewarded him for his dispatch from the prefect of Shouzhou. …"

   Zhang Jun gave Tian Shizhong a startled look, but he was speechless.

   Let’s say that the heavy snow stopped overnight. Before dawn, the two boats intersected in the Huai River again. The outlines were clearer, but they still didn't care about each other. Instead, they each carried the key figures on their respective boats back to camp.

   When the sky turned white, the second year of Jianyan officially arrived. The Song Army on the south bank smashed the ice along the river as old as the old, and the golden army on the north bank was investigating as usual. Most of them did not know what their coaches did during the night. Even after a frustrating New Year, Xia Caicheng finally began to become active.

   And in the morning, the Jin army suddenly sent an envoy to the city to persuade him to surrender... No matter what, the times flowed endlessly, just as the Huai River never stopped, but the rhythm of the war never changed, just as the Bagong Mountain has not been shaken for thousands of years.
