Chapter 729: Han Palace, White Jade Bridge

Chapter 729 Han Palace Que, Bai Yuqiao

This warm spring, under this bright moon like water, I feel a stream of cold, and the cold air hits again and again, making people shiver. Chen Meiren died, she died so desolately, she used her life to maintain her last trace of dignity, but who will protect the dignity of the Great Song Dynasty? Looking at Chen Meiren's corpse, Concubine Liu opened her mouth slightly, unspeakably surprised, this woman also has a fierce side, but unfortunately, if she hadn't entered the palace and hadn't become the new favorite of the official Zhao Ji, maybe she wouldn't have this fate. The beauty died, and Wanyan Lou was also very depressed, and her good mood was ruined by a woman. With a flick of his hand, several Jurchen soldiers came up and dragged Chen Meiren's body to the south ditch like a prey. Zhao Ji's lips turned white, and a strange gurgling sound came out of his throat, which was a reaction to extreme fear.

Chen Meiren's death did not seem to discourage the enthusiasm of the Jurchens, and with the wave after wave of noise, Wanyan Lou Room once again set his eyes on Zhao Duofu, the Roufu Emperor in another prison car. Zhao Ji has many children, all of whom have inherited the excellent bloodline of the old Zhao family, the man is handsome and elegant, the woman is noble and beautiful, and among the many daughters, Zhao Duofu, the emperor of Roufu, is second only to Zhao Fujin. Now Zhao Duofu is only sixteen years old, and he has the same years of flowers, but he has to suffer from this catastrophe. The prison car opened, and the drunken Wanyan Lou Room reached out to drag Zhao Duofu, where was Zhao Duofu willing to follow? The tragic situation of Chen Meiren just now is vivid, she clung to the fence of the prison car, and looked at the prison car opposite with teary eyes, "Brother Huang, father, save me"

Of course, Zhao Ji could hear Zhao Duofu's cry, but what could he do, and what did he dare to do? As for Zhao Huan, he was already on the verge of collapse, and the whole person was also half-crazy. Zhao Duofu resisted so much that Wanyan Lou Room was quite angry, and he lowered his body and wanted to get into the prison car to carry Zhao Duofu out. At this moment, a woman stood out in the prison car, she opened her arms and blocked the fragile Zhao Duofu behind her. Wan Yan Lou was really taken aback, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to stand in his way. When I looked at it, it lit up, isn't this Zhao Hu'er?

Facing the wolf-like Jurchens, they were all scared. Zhao Hu'er was not spared, but Wanyan Lou's room was pressing step by step, and she had already attacked her sister, but no one stood up, which made her extremely sad. The dignified Song royal family, there is no real man, but there is one, and that person is not the same as the royal family, and he was once angry that Zhao Si returned to Zhao Yougong's side, but now. But I don't think so, why can't Zhao Si leave, what are these fathers and brothers worth guarding at the moment? Zhao Hu'er doesn't want to live anymore, in the first battle of Bianliang City, her fiancΓ© Xiang Zifang died in the city, and the ruthless Zhao Ling didn't send troops to save him, what are you doing alive? Did you live to go to Huining Mansion and suffer inhuman humiliation? Before leaving the land of the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Meiren had already suffered such treatment, once she arrived at Huining Mansion, in that distant Liaodong. It's hard to imagine what kind of treatment will be suffered. I'm going to die, and it's good if I can keep my sister before I die.

"After Yan Lou's room, what means are there to rush at me. How rich you are! Zhao Hu'er's voice trembled, but she didn't give up half a step, but unfortunately all her strength was like a joke in front of Wanyan Lou's room, are you still afraid that Zhao Hu'er won't succeed? There was another noise in his ears, and Wanyan Lou's room was also infected, and he pulled Zhao Hu'er. Pointing inside, he laughed loudly, "Sons, pull Zhao Duofu out, this king will have one person and two horses today!" ”

This is Wanyan Lou's room, he won't be afraid, why should he be afraid, does Zhao Hu'er have the capital to threaten people? Chen Meiren is dead, what if Zhao Hu'er dies again? Maybe for Wanyan Zongwang, the Great Song Dynasty royal family is very important, but for his Wanyan Lou family, the men and women of the royal family are no different from ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty, they can play if they want to, and kill if they want to, can their lives be more precious than the lives of his Wanyan Lou family?

For a while, the crying and laughter were sandwiched together, the whistles and shouts of the Jurchens came and went, looking at Zhao Duofu and Zhao Hu'er who were crying and struggling, Xiao Concubine Liu was a little unbearable for some reason. Originally, these people of the Great Song Dynasty royal family should have encountered this difficulty, but looking at Zhao Hu'er's performance, after all, he was a little unbearable, for the first time, he had a trace of doubt about the plan of the enemy, for the sake of the future plan, is it really right to wipe out the royal family? Some people should not have suffered this catastrophe, especially Zhao Hu'er, she was so careful and pure that she didn't even want to step on an ant to death, but such a kind and beautiful woman had to be sent to the fire pit.

Thinking about it, he unconsciously looked at Zhao Ji who was in the same prison car, and when he saw this man, he only felt extremely disgusting, and almost blurted out, "My Majesty, are you dumb?" ”

"You" Zhao Ji raised his head suddenly, instinctively wanting to reprimand Concubine Liu, the Jurchen barbarian snubbed him, did even his own woman dare to talk like this? However, as soon as his lips moved, the words came to his lips and swallowed back, because he found that Xiao Concubine Liu was like a different person, and her cold gaze was like a knife, stabbing his face painfully. At this moment, the person who is high above is Concubine Liu, not Zhao Ji, who doesn't understand the reason, and he doesn't dare to understand, why is this happening?

The noise outside the account is getting louder and louder, and there are more and more people gathering to coax, Wanyan Zongwang and the others are discussing things, listening to the noise outside, they can't help frowning, "Hmph, what's going on, why is it so messy?" ”

Wan Yan Gao put down the objects in his hand, got up and said, "Don't disturb the king, the minister will go out and have a look!" "Wan Yan Gao didn't dare to let Wan Yan Zongwang go out, he clearly knew who was in charge of the order in the camp at this time, and now it was so messy, it couldn't get out of the relationship with Wan Yan Lou Room, with Wan Yan Zongwang's temperament, he was bound to say something ugly, so Wan Yan Lou Room was not convinced, I am afraid that the gap would get bigger and bigger. As for Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi? These two nephews are not fuel-efficient lamps, as long as there is a reason to suppress the Yan Lou room and seize the military power, they will never be polite, in some ways, Wan Yan Zonghan and Wan Yan Zongbi are the people who want to rectify the Yan Lou room the most.

came to the outside of the account, asked someone to inquire, and as expected, it was the Wanyan Lou room again, and walked forward, the crowd automatically separated, and soon saw the Wanyan Lou room who was about to hurt the wolf claws of Zhao Hu'er's sisters. Seeing this, Wan Yan Gao was furious, this Hu Liyan is simply unreasonable, how many times have he been instructed, and before he returns to the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, no one is allowed to do anything to the people of the Great Song Imperial Family. The reason why he ordered it like this was not how much he respected Zhao Ji's gang. That's because the current situation is still unclear, there is no need to kill these people in the royal family, if something happens, Zhao Ji and these people will be of great use. How can you sin to death?

In fact, to put it simply, what Zhao Yougong is looking forward to now is not just bullying these beautiful women, it is best for the Jurchen warriors to come together and cut down all the Great Song royal families led by Zhao Ji. Zhao Yougong is more hopeful. The more you can't follow his wishes, in short, if you go the other way, there will be no mistake, maybe it will be very beneficial to treat Zhao Ji and these people in peace. It's a pity that Hu Liyan couldn't understand the hard work of the Khan King, and thought that the Khan King was deliberately targeting him.

"Hu Liyan, you stop me" shouted, and Wanyan Lou was very angry. When he looked back, he saw that it was Wan Yan Gao, and he had to suppress the anger. Wan Yan Gao's face was pale, staring coldly at Wan Yan Lou's room, Wan Yan Lou Room was very uneasy, just wanted to open his mouth to ask something, but he didn't want Wan Yan Gao to raise his hand and slap it twice, these two slaps were very loud, and they looked so harsh under the night sky. Wan Yan Lou's face turned red, and he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, if he was usually slapped twice. It's fine, but now in front of so many Jurchen warriors, where to put his face, no matter what. He is also one of the most important figures in the Golden Kingdom.

"Come on, send the two emperors back to the prison car, from now on, no one is allowed to mess around, and if anyone dares to commit it, it will not be spared!" Wave your hand. His own soldiers stepped forward to wrap their clothes around Sister Zhao Hu'er and hurriedly sent them back to the prison car. Wan Yan Gao's words were sharp and powerful, and the Jurchens did not dare not listen, and after a long time, the people who joined in the excitement dispersed in a hurry, and even the personal soldiers were guarding from afar.

Wan Yan Gao looked at Wan Yan Lou Room with an angry face, and secretly scolded a fool in his heart, if it wasn't for the sake of the overall situation of the Jurchens, I really didn't want to help this idiot, but now, I have to say something, otherwise I will be hated by Wan Yan Lou Room for the rest of my life, "Hey, Hu Liyan, you can not listen to the words of King Khan, but don't you listen to your uncle's words either?" Are you not convinced? Hmph, if you have repeatedly disobeyed military orders, if I hadn't done that just now, would the Khan King let you go? Don't forget, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi are not good with you! ”

After saying these words, Wan Yan Gao turned around and left, the words have already been said to this part, if Wan Yan Lou can't understand it, it means that no matter how much it is, it is useless. Wanyan Lou Room touched his hot cheeks, as if there were 100,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart, recalling Wanyan Gao's words, and gradually understood a little, the two slaps of his uncle just now made him lose face, but he was also saving him, at least with these two slaps, even if he was punished, it was inconvenient for King Khan to refute his uncle's face, and then he was condemned, and Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongbi also had less reason to attack. After understanding Yan Gao's painstaking efforts, the hatred in Wan Yan Lou's heart gradually disappeared.

In the south of Xiongzhou, the events of one night were just small episodes, and those trivial things could not stop the pace of the Jurchen army going north at all. When he marched to ten miles northeast of Xiongzhou, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and Wanyan Zongwang was not too worried, because only the Jurchen cavalry existed in this area. From the west, there was originally a cavalry squad of more than 100 people, and after seeing the leader from a distance, Wanyan Zongwang showed a little surprise, because the leader of the troops turned out to be Qi Erhan who was defending Xiongzhou City, what kind of thing did Qi Erhan need to give up the task of the palace and personally lead people here?

Qi Erhan obviously came urgently, sweat on his forehead, and when he arrived in front of the battle, he almost rolled off his horse, he ran out of breath, staggering as if he had lost his soul, "The king is not good a few days ago Ding** sneaked into Xiangshan, and attacked Xijin Mansion at night, and in one day, Xijin Mansion all fell into the hands of Ding**, and now General Yue Pengtuo has retreated to Jizhou, hoping that the king can rush to Jizhou before the completion of the defense of the Yongding River in the north, so as to avoid my Jurchen army being trapped and dying in Hebei." ”

Qi Erhan almost finished crying, Wanyan Zongwang listened very carefully, but the more carefully he listened, the more angry he became, no wonder there was always a faint uneasiness in his heart, daring to love Zhao Yougong, that bastard really broke the contract, and actually attacked Xijin Mansion. As soon as the Xijin Mansion is lost, Ding** can rest assured that he can boldly transfer troops to the Yongding River, because at this point, Ding** no longer has to worry about the threat north of the Yongding River. Zhao Yougong, Zhao Yougong, is really the number one king in the world, I thought that Zhao Yougong would not honestly do things according to the agreement, but I didn't expect him to be such a scoundrel. There was a pain in my heart, and I only felt a stream of blood rushing to the top of my head, my body shook, and my eyes were almost planted off the horse. In just a moment, the Wanyan King, who had just been in a leisurely posture, had turned pale, as if he had been seriously injured. Rested for a while. After Yan Zongwang regained some of his senses, at this time, he couldn't care about pursuing the crime of discarding the Xijin Mansion, although he didn't know how Ding ** sneaked into Xiangshan, but since Ding ** did it. It is not realistic to just ask for a Xijin Mansion, and it is unrealistic to pin all your hopes on Jizhou, is it possible that someone Zhao wants to start a decisive battle with the Jurchen warriors in the Yongding River? Hmph, I have made concessions before, but it doesn't mean that I am afraid of Zhao someone. Hundreds of thousands of Jurchen warriors, do they still have to fear nearly 200,000? Ding** is famous, but it is not undefeated, at least in Tibet, there is no less suffering.

"Qierhan, pass the order, all the soldiers and horses of Xiongzhou and Cangzhou will assemble to the north, and follow the king to break the Baigou River, and be sure to reach the Yongding River within two days. Since we are going to fight, then why should I be afraid of my Jurchen warriors, the war is rising. The Jurchens will win! ”

Pulling out the sword, Wanyan Zongwang was like a magnificent mountain, at this moment, his eyes were like electricity, swallowing mountains and rivers, making Wanyan Lou Room and others ashamed of themselves. In a desperate situation, the one who can lead the Jurchen warriors to burst out with infinite pride is not Wanyan Gao, not Wanyan Zonghan, only Wanyan Zongwang. Now that the news of the fall of Xijin Mansion has spread throughout the army, the road ahead has been cut off, and many girls are depressed. can be so inspired by Wanyan Zongwang, all of them are full of blood and blood, and their fighting spirit is monstrous. Yes, why be afraid. If you want to fight, then fight happily, the Jurchen warriors crisscross Liaodong and swallow up the Great Liao, who are you afraid of? Isn't it just the loss of Xijin Mansion? As long as you can defeat Ding** in the Yongding River, it makes no sense to lose the Xijin Mansion. is really going to defeat Ding**, and the headache is those Ding** guarding Xijin Mansion, because the Jurchen warriors in the north can trap the Han people in Xijin Mansion at any time and fight.

Due to the urgency of time, it was a half-day rest, and the 170,000 Jurchen army rushed straight to the Baigou River in three ways, and in the face of the fierce Jurchen army, the entire Baigou River felt great pressure. Once Yongding River was the front line of defending the Great Song Dynasty and resisting the Liao people, how many people died here, and there are countless counts, just in this ominous land, the master is still working hard for his mission. The defense line of the Baigou River, the most important thing is the Baiyu Bridge, in order to block the pace of the Jurchens going north as much as possible, the Planter Road let people destroy all the bridges in the west, leaving only the Baiyu Bridge to pass. Why aren't they all ruined? Destroy all the bridges, then the Jurchen didn't want to fight, but to find a place to build a bridge, keeping the Baiyu Bridge, that is, to force the Jurchens to come to the Baiyu Bridge for a decisive battle, so that the fortifications built before could play a role.

In fact, the seed master Dao did not want to start a war now, because the horse trap in the south had not been dug yet, but the world was unpredictable, who knows how the news of Xijin Mansion reached Xiongzhou?

"Report to the old general, the forward cavalry of the Jin Kingdom has arrived twenty miles to the south!" Exploring the Malai report, the master Dao was shocked, twenty miles, for the cavalry, it is not a blink of an eye? With a long exhalation, the seed master turned his head to look at the northwest, he knew very well in his heart that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to stop the pace of the Jurchens. The only hope is the Ding ** behind you, His Royal Highness King Qin, you have the heart of not being subordinate, you have the will of the world, but you can't be a person who is not subordinate. He once received more than a dozen letters, all of which were ordered by the Qin Palace, urging him to take 10,000 sons to Yongding River to set up defenses, but can he do that? In that way, how will the official family view him, will he be loyal to the imperial court, loyal to the official family, or loyal to the king of Qin?

"Pass the order, the sons and daughters gather at the Baiyu Bridge, let go of the southern ten miles, and let the Jurchen cavalry in!" The Seed Master Dao is worthy of being a rare handsome talent in the Great Song Dynasty, and since he has decided to fight, he will not hesitate. The order was issued, and the men and horses of all departments began to act, and this time the Jurchen forward cavalry was personally led by Wan Yan Zongbi, and the sword of Wan Yan Zongbi was discharged at the beginning, and it can be seen how urgent Wan Yan Zongwang's mood was. The Jurchen cavalry galloped like flying, and it was expected that the soldiers and horses of the middle division should establish a defensive formation in front, because according to common sense, only the military formation was in front, and after the cavalry's impact speed was reduced, the battle behind could be fought.

But now, looking around, except for the Jurchen cavalry, there is not a single Han person to be seen, Wanyan Zongbi is very uneasy in his heart, seeing that this is about to enter the twenty-mile range of Baiyu Bridge, he immediately ordered, "The whole army stops, Sukhak, lead your people to explore the way, pay attention!" ”

Wanyan Zongbi was very cautious, his prudence also saved the lives of many Jurchens, Su Ke Hak led his thousand-man team to charge forward, only two miles of charge, the situation changed, I saw a lot of war horses stepped into the pit, and then neighed in pain, and immediately the warriors were not much better, they were seriously injured when they landed, and they were trampled to death by the war horses directly. Seeing this scene, Wanyan Zongbi spat and scolded secretly, "The old horseman is really difficult to deal with, and the horse pit has been dug here, could it be that the soldiers and horses of the Planter Dao have dug a pit on the ground without doing anything during this time?" ”

Trapping the horse pit, the lethality is not small, but once it loses its concealment, it is meaningless, but it can still slow down the speed of the cavalry's advancement, and now Wanyan Zongbi has suffered from the trapping of the horse pit. Crawling forward like a snail, what's the point of cavalry? Wanyan Zongbi gritted his silver teeth, and immediately issued an order to divide the troops, and the six thousand cavalry were divided into two roads, left and right, and outflanked the Baiyu Bridge from the east and west sides. Wanyan Zongbi thought very clearly, since the Han people have dug countless horse traps in the south of Baiyu Bridge, there must be no obstacles on the east and west sides, and the Han people are not immortals, in the case of digging a large number of horse traps in the south, can they still dig on both sides of the east and west?

After Yan Zongbi thought right, when the troops were divided, the Seed Master Dao frowned, he didn't expect the Jurchens to react so quickly, but it was absolutely impossible to swallow him with just a few thousand Jurchen cavalry. frowned, stroked his white beard, and said solemnly, "Don't fight yet, let these cavalry in, plant someone to let these Jurchen barbarians come in and out, and let the barbarians know that my Great Song Dynasty can win the battle is not only Ding**!" ”

The Jurchen cavalry advanced left and right, and it was really much smoother, there was only sporadic resistance along the way, Wanyan Zongbi was a little complacent, because it was he who responded in time to be able to march smoothly, I am afraid that most of the Song army is still waiting for the Jurchen warriors to finish the trap and fight a decisive battle in the south of Baiyu Bridge. However, soon Wanyan Zongbi couldn't be happy, because he saw a black and oppressive military formation not far ahead, which means that the soldiers and horses of the Seed Master Dao were not sent to the south at all, and they were all waiting for the Jurchen warriors to throw themselves into the net near the Baiyu Bridge. It's a bit unexpected, it turns out that those traps are a cover, but so what, can't more than 6,000 Jurchen iron horsemen break through the 10,000-strong array of Han people?

Holding up the spear, the red tassels fluttered, Wanyan Zongbi roared angrily, "Warriors, there is an old horseman in front of you, listen to my orders, cone formation, break the enemy, kill the master of the Tao, reward a thousand taels of gold!" ”

The cone-shaped formation, such as the spear rush, is good at cutting the formation, but the disadvantage is that it is not thick enough, once the front cannot be successfully rushed and killed, the entire formation has the risk of being blocked and encircled. However, who cares, is the Jurchen Iron Cavalry still afraid of the infantry of the old horseman? There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, the Jurchens shouted loudly and rushed towards the headquarters of the planter's army, in the face of the menacing cavalry, the planter was not flustered, he patiently observed, when he could feel the breath of the Jurchen cavalry, he passed the order to go, only to see the herald waving colorful flags, the generals of the various departments ordered in unison, rows of rejecting horses from the loess propped up, these rejecting horses were buried in the loess in advance, or covered with withered grass, the Jurchens did not notice, what is more terrible is that these rejecting horses are sharper and longer than the usual rejecting horses, It is almost impossible for the war horse to jump over, and it happened suddenly, countless war horses collided with the rejection horse, and were immediately seriously injured, and the cavalry who rolled off the horse was even more miserable.

The blood is dripping, the war horse is wailing, the battlefield of swords and swords is always so tragic, Wanyan Zongbi only felt that his scalp was numb, rejecting the horse, rejecting the horse, how could he forget this.

The war clouds are roaring, and on the white jade bridge, can there be a merchant in the Han Palace? (To be continued.) )
