Chapter 274 Guoqiao Town (2)

The sun is bright, neither lukewarm nor hot.

With the arrival of spring, the earth rejuvenates and all things revives.

The light rain last night made the road look a little muddy and slippery, and the speed of the march became a little slow. Yu Yin was a little anxious and urged the Beiwei Army to speed up the march. He didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy.

Logically speaking, there is still enough time.

But for some reason, after dawn, Yu Yin's eyelids kept jumping.

The speed of a thousand soldiers and horses is actually very fast.

There is no burden on many supplies, so there is a lot of burden.

But even so, Yu Yin still asked everyone to leave faster. He began to regret why he didn't ask for a thousand horses from Tiansijian to go so slowly.

"Brother, why are you so upset?"

"I don't know either, I just feel uneasy anyway."

Gao Chong comforted softly: "Brother, don't think too much. Lao Pang's troops have arrived in Guoqiao Town at this time. If there is any change, he will definitely send someone back to report. Brother thinks it was because he had a bad rest yesterday, so that's why. When he arrived in Guoqiao Town, he would sleep for a while. When he woke up tomorrow, there would be no big deal."

After hearing this, Yu Yin nodded.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone shouting in front of him: "Where is the commander of jade, where is the commander of jade... I am Yuan Chaonian, the Black Flag Arrow Team, and I have an emergency military report on General Pang's order."

When Yu Yin heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat: Could something happened?

"Bring people!"

Yu Yin hurriedly urged him to come forward, while Gao Chong and He Yuanqing hurriedly followed closely.

When I arrived in front of the formation, I saw a young man who had fallen off his horse and was walking quickly.

Yu Yin had some impression of this young man, as if he was the closest person beside Pang Wanchun. He also quickly dismounted and walked forward and said, "Yuan Chaonian, what military information do you have?"

"Huazhou, Huazhou has rebelled!"

"ah?"

Yuan Chaonian was exhausted and looked tired.

"Report to the command. When my general fell down at the Guangji River ferry, we were preparing to cross the river, we encountered soldiers who had defeated from Fengqiu.

Cao Rong, commander of Huazhou, led his troops to surrender the enemy.

He personally led 3,000 troops and horses. He captured Fengqiu last evening and was quickly approaching Guoqiao Town. Guoqiao Town has been in chaos now, and the Baojia official in Guoqiao Town is no longer known where to go. The people of Guoqiao Town are also fleeing towards the Guangji River Ferry.

The general ordered Xiaodi to come back and report, asking the command to make a decision quickly, whether to move forward or retreat temporarily."

Cao Rong, it really turned against...

Yu Yin was also in a panic.

Yesterday he said Cao Rong surrendered, but it was just a guess.

Unexpectedly, Cao Rong really thought about it, and led his troops to conquer Fengqiu County. Once Fengqiu is lost, even if the northern gate of Kaifeng Prefecture is completely opened, as long as the Jin soldiers follow the trend and occupy Guoqiao Town and Chenqiao Town, it will be equivalent to taking down the Guangji River Ferry. Then they will reach Kaifeng, it will only take one day... The enemy is so fast!

"Yuan Chaonian!"

"The bottom is there."

"Go back immediately. Tell Lao Pang that he will take Guoqiao Town first, no matter what.

In addition, keep fifty people at the Guangji River Ferry, and make sure that the river channel is unobstructed. I will order to speed up and the ferry must not be missed. In addition, after Lao Pang arrived at Guoqiao Town, he immediately sent a scout to inquire about the news of the thief and sent someone to inform me."

"Here!"

Yuan Chaonian did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly took the order and stood up, turned over and left.

Yu Yin's heart was already in chaos, but her face was still a little shocked.

"Let the six sects of the Anqi brothers, one of them returned to Moutuogang to inform Zhu Sanlang and Shaoyang, so that they could speed up the transfer. If they really didn't have time to transfer, they would burn the Moutuogang military camp in a fire, and they would never leave any food and grass and thieves.

The other person immediately rushed back to Kaifeng, informed Mr. Zong, and asked him to inform Mr. Li Shangshu.

I just said that I would try my best to defend Guoqiao Town and buy him time... at most two days, I can only hold on for two days."

He Yuanqing hurriedly sent someone to notify the Zong brothers, but Yu Yin's heart was pounding.

"Zhisanlang, inform Niu Boyuan and Dong Juemin to let them get faster. They must arrive at Guangji River at noon and order a group of people to cross the river first, and another group of people to stay to ensure the ferry is smooth. At this time, we cannot panic."

After trying hard to calm down, Yu Yin issued a series of orders.

Gao Chong hurriedly went down to make arrangements, while he urged the troops to speed up.

"Brother, can we stop the thief?"

Feng Kuang urged the horse to Yu Yin's side and couldn't help asking softly.

At this time, Yu Yin's mind was already in chaos. He thought he had made complete preparations, but who would have thought that he was still at a loss when things were about to come. No wonder, although Yu Yin participated in the war in Mobei and formed the Beiwei Army in Hangzhou, his practical experience was pitiful. Even though he had personally commanded several times to suppress bandits, it was different from the current situation. What he was about to face was the thief, and the Jurchens who were like wolves and tigers, so how could he not panic in his heart?

Fortunately, he is no longer the newly reborn boy. After two years of experience, he is much more calm.

After a moment of panic, Yu Yin took a deep breath and calmed down.

"You can't stop it, you will only know after you hit it."

He scratched his head and suddenly asked, "Sanlang, call Liang Yucheng."

Feng Kuang quickly turned his horse's head and left. After a while, he took Liang Yucheng to Yuyin's horse.

"Can those three hundred thunders in the palm of your hand be kept?"

Liang Yucheng was the gunner introduced by Ling Zhen, so the firearm was naturally left to him to manage.

Listening to Yuyin's inquiry, Liang Yucheng hurriedly said: "Report to the command, the custody is very proper and can be used at any time."

"It's great. When you arrive in Guoqiao Town, you can choose fifty people to come out. I'm useful to ask for a good man with good arm strength and throwing far away."

"Here!"

Liang Yucheng didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly bowed to accept the order.

Yu Yin no longer delayed it, urged the horse to leave, urging his soldiers to run towards Guoqiao Town... This Guoqiao Town is located on the north bank of Guangji River.

In history, this place name is rarely known, and may only be recorded in some classics. It was originally just an inn, but later it gradually developed into a market town. It is not far from it, about 80 miles away. It is Chenqiao Town, which is famous in history and is decorated with the yellow robe of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. However, today, the development of Guoqiao Town has long surpassed Chenqiao Town and has become a must-pass road from Fengqiu to Kaifeng Prefecture.

In the early years of Emperor Shenzong's Yuanfeng period, Guoqiao Town became the territory of Kaifeng Prefecture and established Baojia Officer.

However, even the military equipment of the Tokyo Imperial Army was incomplete, not to mention the Baojia system similar to that set up by later militias.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingkang, Cao Rong, commander of Huazhou, led his troops to surrender under the persuasion of Guo Yaoshi.

Han Minyi, the surrendered general of Yizhou, quickly occupied Huazhou to block the Song army in Xiongzhou. After Cao Rong and his son surrendered, they saw that Guo Yaoshi was highly respected by Wanyan Zong, and they couldn't help but feel jealous, so they volunteered to be the vanguard army and rush to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Guo Yaoshi wanted to find clothes to build a floating bridge to assist Wanyan Zongwang's army to cross the river.

He also knew the reason why soldiers are so fast. Seeing that Cao Rong and his son were eager to make contributions, he transferred 3,000 horse troops and Cao Rong as vanguards and headed straight for Kaifeng.

From Baima to Kaifeng, you must pass through Fengqiu County in the middle.

Originally, he thought that there would be a fierce battle in Fengqiu, but he expected that Fengqiu County Magistrate heard that the Jin army was invading and refused to resist at all. He fled from Fengqiu County with more than a dozen wives and concubines overnight. Cao Rong arrived in Fengqiu and occupied it with almost no blood.

I originally wanted to chase after me overnight, but the soldiers were already a little tired from sending troops from Baimajin to Fengqiu County.

In desperation, Cao Rong ordered a rest and prepared to continue attacking after dawn. Fengqiu was vulnerable, so it was not worth worrying to come to Guoqiao Town.

Little did they know that it was because Cao Rong rested this night that he also gave Yu Yin a chance.

When Yu Yin arrived at the ferry on the south bank of Guangji River, he saw that the entire ferry was in chaos.

The people and the defeated soldiers who fled from Fengqiu and Guoqiao Town were crowded into a group and rushed to cross the river to escape. Fortunately, Pang Wanchun asked Yuan Chaonian to lead fifty people to guard a floating bridge, so that the Beiwei army would not be unable to cross the river after arriving. Dong Xian had already led his troops across the Guangji River and was rushing towards Guoqiao Town. Niu Gao led his troops to maintain order at the ferry and prevented the defeated soldiers and refugees from seizing the floating bridge.

"I am the magistrate of Fengqiu County. I have blinded your dog's eyes and will not give way to me!"

A convoy was blocked by Yuan Chaonian at the North Bank Ferry.

A man dressed in an official came out of the convoy and cursed and flew out.

Yuan Chaonian, however, had a stern face and did not talk to the man.

But the Beiwei Army behind him had already pulled out a bright steel knife. If it weren't for this, the official might have ordered a forced crossing of the river.

"Are you the magistrate of Fengqiu County?"

After Yu Yin crossed the river, he came to the man.

"My magistrate of Fengqiu County, Wang Jian, where are you doing it?"

Since the Song Dynasty, a county magistrate has always had a sense of superiority that is difficult to explain clearly when facing military generals.

"Since you are the magistrate of Fengqiu County and no longer resist the enemy's thieves, why are you here?"

"I...you, a commander, can you take care of many things? Let me tell you, my brother is Wang Boyan, a Grand Secretary of Zhilongtu Pavilion.

If you are smart, please let me cross the river quickly, otherwise you will have to be nice."

Wang Boyan?

Yu Yin knew about this person.

This person belongs to the East Palace. After Emperor Qinzong ascended the throne, he joined the "Ten Strategies for Hebei Border Defense" to combine Emperor Qinzong's thoughts, so he was appointed as Zhilongtu Pavilion and governed Xiangzhou. Yuyin not only knew this person, but also knew that this guy was a complete peace talks.

Previously, the Jurchens once again proposed to ced the three towns in Taiyuan, and Wang Boyan was one of the members who strongly advocated the ceding.

In addition, Yu Yin also knew that Wang Boyan was Qin Hui's uncle.

If Wang Jian spoke well, Yu Yin would not make things difficult for him... But his words aroused Yu Yin's arrogance and stubbornness hidden in his bones.

His eyes suddenly became cold, and after a moment he said singly: "Since he is the magistrate of Fengqiu County, he doesn't want to defend the enemy, but he comes here to hang up. This is Kaifeng Prefecture, not Fengqiu County... If you still feel kindness in your heart, follow me to Guoqiao Town and fight for life and death with the enemy. Otherwise, get out of here immediately. Otherwise, you will be punished for your crime of missing the military opportunity."

Wang Jian was furious!

Although he was just a county magistrate, he was from the same Jinshi.

"How dare you, a despicable man, do you dare to do this... After I go back, I will write one of your books so that you will not die a bad death."

Yu Yin was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, so he reached out to pull out the tiger's long sword, and the light of the knife flashed. The blood appeared.

Wang Bai's head fell to the ground, and the blood gushed out.

"Wang Ye, the magistrate of Fengqiu County, fled without fighting, which is a humiliation of the national system. He should be killed... You all know clearly. Now that the country is in danger, we should fight to the death. If you escape, you will run away. But whoever wants to delay military affairs will be killed without any hesitation."

In an instant, the Guangji River Ferry, which was just messy, was silent.

Who would have thought that Yu Yin would suddenly kill someone, and that he would use such cruel means to kill someone.

Seeing that no one was making trouble again, Yu Yin snorted coldly, and after returning the Duhuo to Yuan Chaonian, he led his troops to continue running towards Guoqiao Town.

"Yuan Chaonian!"

"The bottom is there."

"I will leave fifty people with you and I, and show me the pontoon bridge...

I don’t care what method you use. This floating bridge must not be a mistake. If someone dares to seize the floating bridge without authorization, he will kill him on the spot without asking about the high or low."

Yuan Chaonian was originally a bandit and had a somewhat lawless nature.

Before, those people wanted to cross the river forcibly, so he was patient. Now that he had the Yu Yin military order. Without hesitation, he shouted loudly: "As for the name of command, if anyone dares to occupy the floating bridge, he will kill him."

Yu Yin then felt relieved and led his troops to leave.

Once Guoqiao Town is lost, this floating bridge will be his only way out.

So no matter what, Yu Yin could not lose this floating bridge... Now that the disaster is coming, he doesn't care much about it. Anyway, he has violated military discipline and killed people, which is better than being humiliated by a guy who fled without even seeing the enemy.

However, his killing of Wang Jian made the ferry that had been previously messy suddenly become orderly... Yu Yin arbitrarily allocated troops to Guoqiao Town?"

In the lobby of the Kaifeng Prefecture War Department, Li Gang stood up long and showed a look of horror.

When Li Gang was shocked by the sudden hearing that Yu Yin led his troops to attack, he was really surprised. However, after being shocked and angry, he also felt a little strange.

Yu Yin said that if Huazhou surrenders, the enemy will be attacked by the Kaifeng Prefecture City in a few days.

Li Gang didn't believe it, and even thought Yu Yin's guess was a bit ridiculous.

Cao Rong, the commander of Huazhou, was a serious martial arts background. He was so grateful to the heavens. How could he surrender? Deep down, Li Gang did not like Yu Yin, and even hated him. After all, because of Yu Yin, Li Yifeng abandoned his fame and future, and he would definitely suffer alone. Moreover, this guy was too troubling. All the right and wrong that happened in Kaifeng Prefecture in the past two years seemed to have something to do with him. Such a person in the market didn't even have a fame, so why did he steal the position of the commander of the imperial guards? To put it bluntly, in Li Gang's eyes, Yu Yin was a better-lucked villain.

"Who gave him the courage to act without permission?"

Li Gang was so angry that he wandered in the lobby of the Ministry of War. After a while, he walked to the chief case and picked up an arrow, "Come on!"

There is someone waiting outside the lobby of the Ministry of War.

Hearing Li Gang's call, someone came in immediately: "Mr. Li..."

"Give me……"

Li Gang originally wanted to have someone rush to Guoqiao Town with the orders of the Ministry of War to capture Yu Yin back, but at this moment, he saw Zong Ze running into the lobby with Zong Anliu with anxiety on his face.

"Mr. Li, something is wrong!"

"Ru Lin wait a moment, and let me catch the bold Yu Xiaoyi back first."

"Can't catch it!"

Zong Ze took a step forward and grabbed Li Gang's arm.

"What does Rulin mean?"

"Just just got the message from my Liulang, Commander Yu got news on his way to Guoqiao Town that the commander Cao Rong and his son of commander Huazhou have surrendered the enemy, and they have even shown a white horse. Now the rebel father and son have led their troops as vanguards and captured Fengqiu County last night. It is estimated that they will arrive at the banks of the Guangji River at the latest tonight... If Mr. Li captured Commander Yu at this time, he would be afraid that the enemy soldiers would go straight to Kaifeng City. It would be better to speed up the preparations and send reinforcements to support Commander Yu..."

When Li Gang heard this, his face suddenly changed.

He grabbed Zong Ze's arm, "What Rulin said seriously?"

"Mr. Li, how could I joke about such things at this time?"

Cao Rong is really rebelling!

A huge wave suddenly broke out in Li Gang's heart.

How could Yu Yin know that Cao Rong would rebel?

Thinking about it carefully, since his beloved son Li Yifeng and Yuyin got to know each other, almost nothing that Yuyin said failed.

The Jurchens will go to war with the Song Dynasty, and it will go to war!

Pharmacist Guo may surrender to the Jurchens, but he also surrendered...

Now, Cao Rong, as Yu Yin said, led his troops to surrender and became the pioneer of the Jurchens.

You know, Yu Yin reminded him and wrote a special letter. But at that time, Li Gang thought that Yu Yin was nonsense.

Not to mention, you, a small commander, how could you talk about the officials in the court?

Who would have expected that Cao Rong would actually rebel!

"Mr. Li, why are you still hesitating at this time? Xiao Yi led his troops to Guoqiao Town.

How can he resist the Jurchen soldiers? At this time, he can send reinforcements to at least rely on Guangji River to delay the footsteps of the enemy. If he is not good, he can still buy some time for Kaifeng to prepare without being too hasty."

When Li Gang heard this, he smiled bitterly.

"Ru Lin said it lightly. Now most of the troops and horses in Kaifeng have been sent out. Where can I draw troops and horses from?"

The eight hundred thousand imperial guards sounds beautiful.

But in fact, how many people can be fought? Not to mention that since Xuanhe, the imperial guards have been lax, and the 800,000 imperial guards have almost been useless. Now, the total number of imperial guards in Kaifeng, the imperial guards, the wing army and the Baojia militia is only 200,000. Among these 200,000 people, there are probably only 40,000 to 50,000 people who can be considered strong.

Li Gang has arranged his troops. If he is transferred at this time, it will probably make Kaifeng's defense chaotic...

Soze stayed in the Ministry of War for several days, and he was quite familiar with the situation in Tokyo.

After hearing Li Gang's words, he was also silent.

After a while, Li Gang whispered: "Yu Yin led his troops to fight without authorization, which is already a violation of the law.

I then issued a military order, ordering the Mutuogang troops to replace the guards of Guoqiao Town... Rulin, all I can do is this."

"What should I do if Commander Jade?"

Zong Anliu heard this and suddenly became anxious.

"Liu Lang, don't talk nonsense."

Li Gang waved his hand and signaled Zong Ze not to blame Zong Anliu.

He hesitated for a while and could only sigh: "Yu Xiaoyi, it can only depend on his luck..." (To be continued) rq!~!
