The Chu sky is thousands of miles away and the autumn is clear, and the water follows the sky and the autumn is boundless.
Battleships were lined up on the broad Yangtze River. With the sound of cannons, someone shouted: "Sacrifice the flag!"
"oh."
The soldiers standing on the main ship could see a human head falling to the ground and blood spraying on the deck.
On other ships, only a long mast could be seen standing up, with a head hanging high on it.
"The deputy envoy of Jinghu North Road in Zhao Song Dynasty, a very high official kiss."
A navy commander talked in a low voice and said: "Our commander-in-chief was also a transport envoy all the way before."
Little did they know that Shi Junruo had not met Li
Flaw, no matter how great his achievements are, his official career will be just like that, and he may not be as high as Shen Huan.
"Sacrifice the flag!"
After Shen Huan's head was hung high, Shi Jun's face remained as grave as water and he continued to give orders.
This time, there were rows of prisoners of the Song army, and officials were dragged onto the deck.
The executioners all chopped off their big swords, and the heads were smashed down like "big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate", and blood spattered everywhere.
He Tai reached out and touched his face, wiped away the blood splashed on his face, and walked towards Shi Jun.
"Handsome."
"Your troops attacked Qingshiji yesterday. Today we have a day off to give the recently captured grain to the people." Shi Jun said, "It's not that I'm soft-hearted, but we need to win this battle quickly and don't need to bring too much grain."
"The general will obey your orders!"
He Tai cupped his fists and received the order, but did not leave. Instead, he took a step forward and whispered: "The general still wants to apologize to the commander for standing on the thorn."
"Okay, where is Jing?"
He Tai was stunned, but he didn't expect that Marshal Shi, who was a civil servant, could also be funny, and said, "The last general once said that the Marshal is soft-hearted..."
"You're not worried that I'm soft-hearted, you're worried that I'm from Song Dynasty and don't have a strong will to fight."
This is true. They were going down the Han River at that time, and the several defenders on the riverside could not catch up with them even if they shot or not. What He Tai was worried about was indeed Shi Jun's old love for Song Ting.
But today Shi Jun resolutely killed Song Ting's wife,
He Tai's concerns have been dispelled.
He Tai gradually understands that Shi Jun has a "benevolent" side and a "ruthless" side. It is precisely in this way that he can defeat Wu Liang Hetai.
He once followed Liu Zheng and listened to orders under the Lu brothers' tent. He judged the general in the current battle and thought that his own general was far stronger than Lu Wenfu...
After offering sacrifices to the flag, the soldiers began to sing military songs.
I don't know if it was to anger the officials of the Song court, but this time they sang a poem by Lu You, which was often quoted by Song generals recently.
"The shameless person has no name in the history of thousands of years, but he repays the emperor with a heart of loyalty."
It's just that the "emperor" of these Tang soldiers is not the weak Zhao Chu in Lin'an Palace. Their emperor is too wise and powerful, and their momentum is also stronger."
"You came to join the army in the Han Dynasty, and the Nanshan Mountains were covered with snow and jade."
"Ugh! Although three households of Chu can destroy Qin, how can China be empty and deserted!"
"..."
One warship after another sailed to Fankou, and the Tang army once again launched an offensive against Ezhou.
~~
"Report to Lieutenant Commander Shen Zhuan that he resisted the enemy in Xishan yesterday and died for his country."
When Lu Wenfu heard the bad news, he was slightly shocked and cursed: "He has been given a lot of money in vain over the years."
"What about the private salt business?"
"Idiot, is this the time to take care of your personal affairs?"
Lu Wenfu was furious and slapped the henchman in front of him twice, "Fight, fight, the rebels are going to fight against me, I'm sorry."
"The villain knows his crime, but he just thinks that the captain can easily put down the small rebels."
Lu Wenfu slapped him again, but not too hard this time.
Turning around and walking into the military meeting hall, I saw the generals already waiting for me.
"..."
"Kublai Khan attacked Ezhou back then and brought an army of more than 100,000 people. On the other hand, Shi Jun had less than 20,000 people. How could it be possible to conquer the city of Ezhou?"
"It is not appropriate to compare it to the battle of Kublai Khan's attack on Ezhou. Students think it is more like the battle of Sanfeng Mountain. Taiwei, please see, Tuo Lei borrowed a road from the Song Dynasty to attack the Jin Dynasty, while Shi Jun borrowed a road from the Meng Yuan Dynasty to attack the Song Dynasty.
.In terms of military strength and strategy, they are almost the same.”
"
Damn it, that's nonsense, how can I support you idiots?!" Lu Wenfu intended to imitate his elder brother Lu Wende in front of his subordinates.
"Captain, please calm down. Students are referring to the strength of the troops. The rebels have bypassed Xiangyang, just like dragging mines around Tongguan, and they will face two or three thousand people against more than ten thousand people."
"Taiwei, the last general thought he was farting. Shi Jun is not dragging thunder. Shaobao is not an incompetent general of the Jin Kingdom."
At this time, Lu Wenfu understood what the aide meant, and said slowly: "You mean, before Li Xia defeated my elder brother, Shi Jun took a detour? As long as he cannot capture Ezhou, he will be surrounded by my elder brother's return?"
"That's exactly what I mean. Back then, Tuo Lei wanted to attack Bianjing, but he was blocked by the Jin army at Sanfeng Mountain. If it hadn't been for a heavy snowfall, he would have been surrounded and annihilated by the Jin army. It can be seen that this kind of detour and surprise attack is extremely risky and is not tolerated by wise men.
It takes great luck to get the thunder, but Shi Jun has no such luck."
Lu Wenfu suddenly saw the rebels coming yesterday. What he was most afraid of was that Lu Wende had been defeated.
Now that I have figured it out, I finally feel at ease. "Unless the earth dragon turns over and knocks down the Ezhou city wall, Shi Jun will never stand a chance."
"The student asserts that within half a month, Shaobao will have annihilated Li Ni and returned to Ezhou. Ezhou City only needs to be defended for half a month, and the crisis will be resolved."
Mu Liao kept talking without giving any useful suggestions, but he used his rhetoric to make a twist, which seemed to make sense.
Lu Wenfu couldn't help but laugh, thinking of Jia Sidao's great contribution to rebuilding the clan in the battle of Ezhou.
The problem is that Shi Jun's sense of oppression from the court was far less than that of Kublai Khan.
Instead, you can write some articles in the battle report to exaggerate the criticality of the situation.
Lu Wenfu then leaned forward and asked, "How should I write the battle report to be sent back to Lin'an?"
"In my student's humble opinion, the Taiwei should let the court know that the rebel army is approaching and the country is in danger."
Lu Wenfu raised his eyebrows.
He still had some concerns. Once the battle report was delivered, the imperial court would have to mobilize troops from Huaihe, Zhejiang, and Jiangjiang. This was by no means a trivial matter.
The important thing is that if Jia Pingzhang finds out...
"Just in case?"
"It is precisely because Li Ni always makes unexpected moves that the court is prepared just in case. What's wrong with the Taiwei being cautious?"
"well."
Lu Wenfu immediately drove away the others, leaving only his close aides behind, and said, "Write a memorial. Just say that Shi Jun has a strong army and has taken more than 50,000 people along the Han River. He wants to drive directly to Lin'an. I will fight hard to intercept him."
"In the humble opinion of my students, there is another memorial regarding the death of Mr. Shen in battle."
"Yes, yes, it seems that the battle is more intense..."
Someone came outside the hall and reported, "Lieutenant, the rebels have begun to attack the city again."
"Why are you panicking? With just over 10,000 troops and no siege equipment, what can be captured?"
Soon, several memorials were written, Lu Wenfu stamped them and sent soldiers to Lin'an.
After all, the rebel forces were not strong enough to completely surround Ezhou City.
Under the protection of a group of soldiers, the messenger left Wangze Gate in the south and immediately set off for Lin'an...
~~
The Wangze Gate was opened, and after a group of officers and soldiers left, it was quickly closed and sealed with stone strips.
Groups of defenders drew their swords and patrolled.
"Mom, they can all go out, but I can't?"
Gou Shancai stood on the street wearing a government uniform, casually took a piece of steamed bun from a stall and ate it.
The vendor reached out to him to ask for money, but he slapped him with his backhand.
"I eat your food to give you face."
Even the government officials accompanying him couldn't stand it, and whispered, "Old dog, be careful at this time. I heard from people who escaped that the officials at Li Ni's side are incorruptible. If we capture Ezhou..."
"Your mother, you want to rebel, right?"
"No, leave a way out, brother."
"I didn't want to leave any way out." Gou Shancai sneered, pointed at the city gate, and said, "I want to go out of the city to complete the errands assigned by the county magistrate, and go find the city gate supervisor."
"Oh my God, old dog, you are crazy about money. Why are you going out of town at this time?"
"Aren't the rebels still in the north? They haven't surrounded the south city yet. Go find the city gate supervisor. I only need to leave the city for half an hour."
"What are you looking for? Didn't you see that the Wuchang Army took over the city gate?"
Gou Shancai had no choice but to spit on the ground and said: "The county magistrate has assigned me an errand. If I can't finish it, I can leave. Please drink two pots."
The steamed bun vendor on the street lowered his head and glanced secretly. Seeing Gou Shancai's back walking away, he looked around and quickly closed the stall.
Carrying a load through an alley, he hawked all the way.
"Momo! Fragrant steamed buns..."
"That salesman, come in, my master is hungry."
"okay!"
…
The burden was placed at the door of the house.
In the room, a token was handed out, with the words "Public Opinion Department" faintly displayed on it.
"Shi Shuai's army has arrived at the city, but Ezhou's city defense is strong. If there is no internal response, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack quickly, and you still need to open the city gate."
"The city gate has been taken over by the Wuchang Army, but I still have the key. Someone needs to cooperate."
"These are the few of us."
"Who gave you the news? If you contact him again, I want to see him..."
