3. Trip to Guangdong 4

Yang Yan nodded and said, "I understand, so is Tianji Palace planning to help King Deng?" ”

Ye Muxue shook her head again and said, "That's not it, the other uncles and uncles are all in agreement with the rebirth of the Tianji Palace to save the Great Song Dynasty from danger." However, when Senior Brother Zong asked Tianji Palace to help King Deng, some people objected, thinking that King Xin's succession to the throne was also straightforward, and if Tianji Palace was born again, he should also help King Xin. As a result, he started an argument with Senior Brother Zong in front of Shizun. ”

Although Ye Muxue didn't explain, Yang Yan understood that the person who raised the objection was actually Ye Muxue, so he was still very grateful to her, nodded again, and said, "So thank you Miss Ye, so how did Miss Ye's master decide?" ”

Ye Muxue heard Yang Yan say thank you, knowing that he guessed that he was the one who was opposed, and a slight flush appeared on her elegant and pleasant face, and said: "At that time, Senior Brother Zong and I had our own opinions, and no one could convince anyone, but Senior Brother Zong insisted that Brother Yang supported the young monarch because he wanted to monopolize the power and wait for the time to be ripe before usurping the throne, so he must not help King Xin." Despite my best efforts, the master and the uncles and uncles still have half a doubt about it. ”

Yang Yan also smiled bitterly, he had also read Zhao Kai's text, of course he knew what was going on. said: "Why does Miss Ye think that I don't want to monopolize power and usurp the throne? ”

Ye Muxue smiled faintly: "This may just be Mu Xue's intuition, Brother Yang is by no means such a keen person on power." What's more, Brother Yang and Princess Yongning are in love with each other, how could they do such a sad thing for the princess? ”

Yang Yan shook his head again, not knowing whether to admit it or deny it.

Ye Muxue continued: "We argued for a day, but there was still no result. Master Venerable believes that what Senior Brother and I have said may be incomplete, so we should not draw conclusions lightly to either side. Later, after discussing with the uncles and uncles, it was decided to send three uncles and uncles to Tanzhou and Jianning Mansion to inspect the situation of both sides, and then decide to help that side. ”

Only then did Yang Yan understand what was going on, it seemed that Tianji Palace did not have the words of Tianxuan of the Sect of Faith, at least it could be treated fairly. Therefore, he said: "In other words, Miss Ye came to inform me first, so that we can get ready?" ”

Ye Muxue nodded and said, "In half a month, they will arrive at Tianlin Mansion and go to meet King Xin." I hope that Brother Yang will inform King Xin and prepare to meet them. ”

Yang Yan pondered for a while, although Ye Muxue was trying her best to help herself, but between her words, she obviously put Tianji Palace in a decisive position, as if as long as Tianji Palace appeared, she would be able to respond to every call, and everything would be solved.

Yang Yanzhi didn't think that Tianji Palace could play any decisive role in the battle for the throne between Zhao Chen and Zhao Kai; I don't think that as long as the Tianji Palace is born, it will be able to defeat the Jin Army immediately. However, now is also the time to exert force, and more Tianji Palace can also have more strength, which also has a certain effect on the stability of Zhao Chen's throne. At the same time, it can also weaken Zhao Kai's power, and Ye Muxue has helped herself several times, and this time she made a special trip to tell herself about it, Yang Yan really doesn't want to be an enemy of Ye Muxue in the future. Therefore, from all aspects, if you can pull the Longtian Machine Palace, you can count it in one fell swoop.

Yang Yan's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Ye Guni, I have always had one thing I don't understand, that is, now that Tianji Palace has decided to be born to help the Great Song Dynasty, then the situation in the Jingkang period is even worse than now, why didn't I hear that Tianji Palace would come forward at that time?" ”

Ye Muxue sighed softly and said, "This question involves the secrets of the master's sect, please forgive Muxue for not being able to answer Brother Yang." ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly, this is the second time that Ye Muxue has refused to answer this question, and he is indeed a little curious. But it was not good to continue to ask, so I had to nod and say, "Okay, Miss Ye, thank you for telling me these things." I will convey this matter to the emperor and the ministers of Zhongshu, and ask them to prepare. ”

******************************

In the 11th year of Kim Dae-jeong (February 1171. In the whole Huainan West Road, only Huangzhou, Jinzhou, Anqing Mansion were still under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty, and the rest of the places were all occupied by the Jin army.

Luzhou, the capital of Huainan West Road, was called Hefei in ancient times, bordered by the lake in the south, and Zijing Mountain in the east, known as "Huai's right throat, Jiangnan's lips and teeth, Jianghuai's first county, Wu Chu to rush", has always been a battleground for the north and south soldiers. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Wei and Wu fought in Hefei for 32 years. The hometown of Bao Zheng, a famous minister in the Song Renzong period, was Xiaobao Village, Jieji Township, Feidong County, Luzhou. After his death, he was buried in Daxingji, the eastern suburb of Luzhou.

Luzhou is in the traffic hub, the waterway is convenient, so the city is very prosperous. However, due to the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers, the lively and prosperous scene of "department stores and horses, thousands of walls, shops on both sides of the strait, and noisy merchants" in the past no longer exists. More than 30% of the residents in Luzhou City fled south, and the rest of the residents hid at home on weekdays, without urgency, and did not go out easily, and the streets were deserted, only the bleak spring rain was misty.

Although Luzhou City is not the first line, it is not far from the border of Song and Jin, so the city gate is only open for one hour in the morning and evening every day. This is when the gates are closed. The Jin army on duty guarding the city held a spear, wore a robe, stood on the city wall and shivered, although the spring was opened, but the spring cold was still unbearable. Because it was the spring rain that continued to rain for several days, it never sunny, and the clothes on the whole body seemed to be always wet and flickering, and they couldn't dry out, because they were Jurchens who were used to the dry weather in the north, and they were very uncomfortable.

At this moment, I saw more than ten riding figures in the distance, marching in the direction of Luzhou City in the spring rain. The soldiers defending the city were immediately alarmed, and they all looked down on the battlements.

After a short time, this group of knights came to the city with scriptures, and shouted to the defenders of the city across the moat: "The defenders of the city listen, we are the marshal's left supervising army, the envoy of the Tianshun army, and the herald of Lord Wanyan Changzhi of Yan'an County, and now there is an urgent matter to enter the city, your guards, quickly open the door and let us in." ”

When the defenders saw that they were all dressed in Jin costumes and that there were only about a dozen of them, they did not suspect it, and immediately lowered the drawbridge, opened the city gates, and let them into the city.

Originally, Wanyan Yong discussed with his ministers in Lin'an about the plan to continue the army, and hesitated between the two routes of the army and the two strategies of Wanyan Changzhi's transfer to Xiangyang. At this time, Dajin Guoshi An Ze suddenly rushed to Lin'an and brought Wan Yanyong a wonderful news. Therefore, after discussing with the ministers, Yan Yong decided to adopt a combination of two strategies, and Po Sa himself would lead an army of 100,000 to attack Shinshu. Sushi Lie Zhining led an army of 80,000 and attacked Chizhou. Launched an attack on Jiangnan West Road in two ways, directly attacking Longxing Mansion. And Wanyan Changzhi led 20,000 horses and horses to the north, on the one hand, to support the men and horses of Nanyang, and on the other hand, to contain the Song army in Jiangbei. and issued an order to hand over all the people and horses in Jiangbei to the control of Wanyan Chang. The arrangement and scheduling of the march are all at the discretion of Wan Yan Changzhi.

After Yan Changzhi received the order, he immediately took Wanyan Chen, monk Guo Xiajiao, Zhang Hu and others to lead people across the Yangtze River and arrived in Luzhou first.

The Jin general who guarded Luzhou was called Shi Mo Zhongwen, and there were 5,000 defenders in the city, and he had already received an official letter, knowing that he had been waiting in the city because he had been waiting in the city. However, thinking that it has been raining continuously for the past few days, and the road is difficult, it will probably be a few days late, so at this time, Shi Mo Zhongwen is peacefully lighting a fire in the lobby.

As soon as he heard that Yan Changzhi's herald was coming, Shi Mo Zhongwen hurriedly ordered him to come in. After the herald came in, Shi Mo Zhongwen asked and learned that Wanyan Changzhi's brigade was less than five miles away from Luzhou City. Shi Mo Zhongwen was taken aback, he didn't expect Wanyan Changzhi to come so quickly, and hurriedly ordered the servants to prepare horses, and personally braved the rain to go out of the city to greet Wanyan Changzhi and his party.

Less than two miles out of the city, I saw the men and horses of Wanyan Changzhi. Although everyone was drenched by the spring rain, they were still in good spirits and did not look embarrassed. Shi Mo Zhongwen hurriedly greeted him and brought everyone into Luzhou City.

Enter the state office. Wanyan Changzhi, Wanyan Chen Monk, Guo Shrimp Toad, Zhang Hu and others changed into clean clothes, and then they gathered in the lobby and sat down. Wan Yan Changzhi asked, "General Shi Mo, how is the battle situation on the Jinghu front line now?" ”

Shi Mo Zhongwen said: "The Song army is now led by Li Xianzhong, with a total of nearly 60,000 troops, and the troops are attacking Nanyang in two ways, Dengzhou and Huyang are all lost, and Tangzhou is also in danger. General Yang Woyan, who was guarding Nanyang, sent several urgent reports in succession, hoping that after the Lord Zuo Jian arrived in Luzhou, he would immediately send troops to rescue Nanyang. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said: "How many people do we have on Jianghuai West Road now?" ”

Shi Mo Zhongwen said: "Now there are 38,000 men and horses on Jianghuai West Road, 10,000 men and horses are stationed in Gwangju, 15,000 men and horses are stationed in Lu'an and Shucheng, 10,000 people and horses are stationed in Lujiang, and there are 8,000 men and horses in Luzhou. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi asked again: "How are the defenders of the Song army on the front line of Jianghuai East Road distributed?" ”

Shi Mo Zhongwen said: "Now the Song army is defending on the front line of Jianghuai, and the imperial garrison of Ezhou Mansion is under the control of Niu Xi, with a total of more than 20,000 people. Troops were stationed in Huangzhou, Hanyang Army, De'an Mansion and other places. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded, he knew that Niu Yu was the son of Niu Gao, the general of the Yuan Yue Fei Division, and his style was quite similar to his father, and he was very brave and good at fighting. said: "Okay, I know all these situations, you go down first, I'm calling you for something." ”

After Shi Mo Zhongwen went down, Guo Shrimp Toad said: "Lord Zuo Jian Jun, although there are more than 60,000 people on the front line of General Yang in Nanyang, it is necessary to divide troops to garrison Nanyang, Tangzhou, Fangcheng, Caizhou and other places, and the troops are too scattered, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist Li Xianzhong's attack." Let's get to Nanyang as soon as possible. ”
