Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

That night, Xiao Huanghua, escorted by a brigade of cavalry, rode a beautiful carriage and arrived at the Zezhou tent when it was getting dark.

As soon as the man arrived, he threw himself into his arms with tears in his eyes. Shi Congyun was also very happy, and hugged the little girl around twice. As soon as he landed, Xiao Huanghua hugged his waist tightly again.

Sticking to him, he said, "Official, I miss you..."

"Who taught you to be an official?" Shi Congyun was in a good mood, pinching the little girl's nose and asking.

"Those big officials outside." The little girl told him honestly.

Shi Congyun sat down, picked her up and put her on his lap: "You still call me A Lang, why listen to their bullshit, you can call me whatever you want."

The little girl nodded and said happily, "Ah Lang!"

"Hey! Hahahaha, little wife, come here, I miss you too!" Shi Congyun said happily and hugged her on the bed.

"Ah Lang, what are you going to do?" Xiao Huanghua hugged him, expressing her expectation in nervousness.

Shi Congyun smirked, "I'll teach you, you have to be good."

Little Yellow Flower nodded.

"Although you're still younger, you're about the same. Let me be the emperor now, no one dares to care about you!" Shi Congyun started to say something that sounded like Ah Nei himself.

Little Huang Hua didn't understand, she just hugged him tightly, "Ah Lang can do whatever he wants!"

........

The next day, there was a rain in Zezhou City. The rain was pouring down, and the white rain curtain opened in the sky, covering the sky and the sun. From far to near, the sound of raindrops and running water echoed everywhere in the field.

A heavy rain disrupted the planned marching plan, only the forwards of Dang Jin and Li Hanchao set off in the rain, and the follow-up troops had to postpone their trip.

The battlefield in the deserted wilderness in the south of Zezhou City was also washed away by the rain, and most of the bloody smell dissipated, as if there had never been a bloody battle a few days ago. In March and May, it might be forgotten by people .

At this time, words came into play, and the battle reports recorded the battle. It was rare for Shi Congyun not to get up early during the battle.

The battle report statistics were sent to the emperor's case before noon, because no one dared to disturb them before, and when the little yellow flower came, everyone knew it well and didn't want to offend the officials.

When Shi Congyun woke up, little Huanghua was still sound asleep, and the little girl was still young, so he didn't dare to be too arrogant, and he always let her eat fish.

So he didn't sleep late last night, but he didn't have the pressure of the war, and he slept soundly holding the little girl.

After getting up, there were already many people waiting outside. Someone first asked him to play, asking whether the Chinese army could delay their departure due to the heavy rain.

Shi Congyun came out of the big tent to look at it, and then asked how long it had been raining, and whether there were any flash floods and landslides on the road to the north.

Liu Qingchuan immediately reported, "Officials, it has been raining all night, and the scouts sent out said that two bridges five miles to the north were washed away by the rain, and the craftsmen of the Shenhuo Army are rushing to repair them. It should be almost the same now.

There are only a few small places on the road of landslides and landslides, and people have been sent to clean them up, so that the army will not be delayed to go north.

It's just that the guns and gunpowder of the Shenhuo Army still have to wait. "

Shi Congyun watched the rain for a while, then nodded, and decided to allow the Central Army and the Shenhuo Army to postpone their departure for one day.

The main reason is that the situation in the north is not in a hurry. The forwards have already set off, and it doesn't matter if the rear of the Chinese army slows down at this time. If the battle is tight, then there is no waiting.

Then he looked at the battle report on the desk. The preliminary statistics of the two battles in Zezhou South and Zezhou City were 260 murderers and more than [-] prisoners. The follow-up statistics are still being calculated, but this is roughly the case.

The Qin army suffered a total of 290 casualties, of which 470 were killed in battle.

After reading it, Shi Congyun called Lu Duoxun and Wang Shenqi, and asked them to coordinate, distribute some food to each prisoner of war, and release them.

Prisoners of war cannot be released randomly. If a group of prisoners of war who are penniless, have no tiles on the roof, and no place to stand on the ground are released all at once, there is a high probability that they will be forced to become bandits.

So before the officials released the prisoners, they would give each of them a piece of cloth as money to go home.

The situation of prisoners of war released in Hedong will be better, because most of them have a home to return to, so they dare not do anything wrong for fear of hurting their families.

Then he changed into a formal dragon robe and wanted to see Liu Jiye, a prisoner of war, as well as Wei Rong and Li Jixun, who were seized by the Northern Qin Army from the farmer's house last night.

The first to be brought in was the unkempt Li Jixun, who was kicked by the soldiers and forced to kneel down.

Li Jixun still didn't say a word, just glared at each other, showing no intention of giving in.

The feud between him and Li Jixun has been going on for a long time, and he can't remember how he was hated by this guy, but for Li Jixun who was defeated by Liu Renxiang with a weak force outside Shouzhou City, and fled to join Li Yun on the way to retreat Not impressed.

Li Chongjin had a grudge against him, but at least we were still comrades in arms and had fought side by side.

"If you beg me to spare you, I will spare your life." Shi Congyun said.

The other party did not answer, but looked at him: "I just want to die!"

Shi Congyun nodded slowly, "I'll make you perfect, pull it out and behead it."

The soldiers waiting outside quickly came in and dragged the man out.

Li Jixun was a man, he didn't say anything to beg for mercy from the beginning to the end, after a while, the soldiers came in again with the bloody head on a wooden tray, asking him to confirm.

Shi Congyun nodded: "Bury him, his sons Li Shouen, Li Shouyuan and others will be assigned tattoos."

"promise!"

......

The second one brought in was Li Jiye, the adopted son of the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty.

After he came in, he was held down by the soldiers and knelt down, without begging for mercy, he said again: "I just want to die."

But unlike Lee Ji-hoon, his face is averted.

Shi Congyun is an old fox. Although he is still young, he immediately understood why Liu Jiye dared not look at him because he wanted to die.

"If you want to die, I can make it happen, but you are Liu Jun's adoptive son. Liu Jun is called the son emperor and nephew emperor by the Liao Kingdom, so you are the grandson of the Khitan people.

It doesn't matter if you are dead, I will write you a tombstone, and it will be called Liu Jiye, the grandson of the Khitan people. "Shi Congyun said with a strange air.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Jiye, who was kneeling below, turned red and was speechless.

"I think your brother has more backbone than you. He didn't dare to be humiliated when he occupied a small Linzhou. He dared to fight against Liu Jun for several years, and led the army to submit to our dynasty. You are brothers, why is there such a big difference?"

Liu Jiye couldn't speak at all, and lowered his head even lower.

"Go down and think about the truth. I don't lack your little food." Shi Congyun said to the soldiers next to him: "Take him down and guard him alone. Don't eat and drink less."

"No!" The soldier took the order and took him down. Liu Jiye was so ashamed from the beginning to the end that he bowed his head and did not look at him.

Shi Congyun understood his psychology from the beginning of his demeanor. In addition, his elder brother Yang Jixun would rather die in the north with one state and go to the Central Plains. Shi Congyun vaguely guessed that their Yang family might be really It is more resistant to the matter of recognizing Khitan as the father.

He used this to suppress Liu Jiye, that is, Yang Jiye.

Many people must know Yang Jiye's name, Shi Congyun naturally wanted to see if he had real materials, it would be a pity to kill him.

Later, Wei Rong, another general of the Northern Han Dynasty, was brought up.

Unexpectedly, Wei Rong's bones were even tougher, and he came up and yelled: "You are just a hairy kid who has approved the dragon robe, and you are also a thief who usurps and seeks rebellion. Today, I fell into your hands. It doesn't take much. If you want to kill, you have to listen to it." Respect is it!"

Shi Congyun was furious, he grabbed the teacup at hand and threw it down. Wei Rong screamed with a slamming sound, his head was bleeding, and the bright red blood flowed down his cheeks.

"It's a great thing that I have to die! You kill me!" Wei Rong got up again despite his bloody head, without any fear.

Shi Congyun almost made a move, but in the end he resisted the impulse, "You write to Liu Jun and ask him to let Zhou Guangxun go and wait. Messenger of Qin, just write, and I spare your life."

Zhou Guangxun and others were the envoys he sent to Li Yun at the beginning. Later, when Li Yun rebelled, he tied them up and sent them to the Northern Han Dynasty in exchange for reinforcements. They are probably still in Taiyuan now.

Now Wei Rong didn't ask for death and didn't speak.

"Take him to write." Shi Congyun waved his hand, Wei Rong took the initiative to get up, and went down with two soldiers.

After these people were settled, Shi Congyun said, "Bring me the hero who was the first to climb the city that day. I want to meet him."

After a while, people came, and Shi Congyun saw that he recognized him. He was the recruit of the Shenhuo Army, Jing Si, whom he saw by the Bianshui River that day!

Chapter 333: The Flying Qin Army

The wounds on Jing Si's body were not completely healed, and the bandages that had just been bandaged on his naked upper body were still messy and stained with a lot of blood.

Shi Congyun took a look and immediately became worried. What if such a fierce person dies from infection?How can there be warriors to fight for him in the future!

Now he regrets it a little bit. In fact, he had long thought of setting up a distillery that can brew high-quality alcohol, which can be used to disinfect the battlefields of soldiers, because now the number of wounded in battle is always several times that of those killed in battle. Risk of wound infection.

Every time a war is fought, many people die because of wound infection and ulceration, fever and fever.

Unfortunately, he later forgot that distilling wine is one of the few technical jobs he knows, because it is not difficult in itself. When he was a child, his father in the village made wine and sold it. There are not a few people in the village who can distill wine. It is not complicated in itself, and the first wave can reach about 70 degrees, which is already very high purity.

It's a pity that he was lazy and forgot about it later.

Then he called Jing Si to stop: "You don't need to kneel down if you are injured.

That day when I saw you at the bottom of the city, you went to Zezhou first. You were a brave man. I asked you to meet me to reward you. "

Then he waved his hand and called the secretary officials who accompanied him, and declared: "For my achievements in ascending first, I will reward the heir of Jing with [-] yuan, a pair of saddles, and a brocade robe. I will serve as a commander in the Crane Control Army."

Then he got up and walked down: "Some people are not very good at themselves, but they can command thousands of troops;

I still need to see what kind of you you are, and work hard. "

"Promise!" Jing Si bowed excitedly, but was stopped by Shi Congyun: "You don't need to salute if you have an injury, go down first and recuperate."

Jing Si withdrew.

.......

At noon, Shi Congyun specially asked the accompanying chef to prepare some lighter meals, steamed fresh fish, and Xiao Huanghua's favorite dessert.

He is usually not that extravagant, but when the little yellow flower comes, his life is better.

When Xiao Huanghua got up at noon, it was still raining outside, the first thing the little girl thought about when she got up was to help him wash up, Shi Congyun laughed and asked her to rest for a while.

The little girl hugged his arm happily, but she didn't want to leave.

Shi Congyun laughed loudly, put on a beautiful snow-white mink fur cloak for her, and asked her to follow him, "It's raining, it's cold outside, you wear it."

The little yellow flower happily followed behind him, the little girl was more innocent and not shy, and after in-depth communication, the little girl became much closer.

Shi Congyun had nothing to do, so he asked the eunuch to hold an umbrella and take her to Zezhou City.

The rain was still pouring down, and from time to time on the street, patrolling soldiers in full armor saluted him.

After walking for a while, Shi Congyun felt that it was troublesome, so he took an umbrella to hold it up, and took the little girl shopping.

Boys and girls strolling with umbrellas in the drizzle is quite poetic and picturesque. If it weren't for a lot of eunuch guards behind them, it would really feel like first love.

Shi Congyun recalled, did he have a first love?It seems that there is, and it seems that there is no, I can't remember.

.......

To the north, the rain became heavier and heavier. The continuous rain for three days and three nights caused the Fen River to rise a lot. The beach and rocks on the embankment were all in the water and disappeared.

The rushing water line slides down the tile ditch, flows into the rivers on both sides of the white jade fence along the ditch at the corner of the wall, and then flows into the Fen River outside the city along the low dark passage.

On the white jade stone bridge, many people braved the rain and hurried to the north hall.

Zhao Huari was not young, so he led a group of people forward at this time, although he tried his best to walk, but he couldn't walk fast, he always walked in small steps, and the people behind had to slow down and follow behind him. It rained a lot.

When the eunuchs in the distance saw them, they even came out and opened umbrellas to cover them from the rain, so as to prevent a group of old people who were not young from getting sick in the rain.

When everyone arrived under the eaves in a hurry, a strong smell of medicine stone spread over the surface.

Zhao Huari was puzzled, bent his body and asked, "Why is there such a strong smell of medicine?"

The eunuch next to him whispered: "Yesterday morning, Your Majesty fell ill. He had a headache, couldn't eat, couldn't get out of bed. The imperial doctors have all come here, and he still doesn't feel better today."

Zhao Huari was not too surprised after hearing this. His Majesty is not in good health. He has no children so far. He only has some adopted sons. The lord Liu Jun is originally from Shatuo, just like Li Keyong in the later Tang Dynasty. The adopted sons belonged to Shatuo people. Tradition.

Moreover, this tradition accompanied the dominance of the Shatuo people in the late Tang Dynasty and their entry into the Central Plains, and it also affected the Han people. Among the Han people, Guo Wei, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, let his adopted son Chai Rong succeed him.

But this time the illness is probably not that simple, because he has already received the news, there was a battle report to Taiyuan yesterday.

Shi Congyun led his own conquest, and fought more with less in the south of Zezhou, defeating them and Li Yun's [-] coalition forces. After breaking through Zezhou City, Li Yun set himself on fire and died, and tens of thousands of troops were wiped out.

And Liu Jiye, the general and adopted son of the leader of the Han Dynasty, was captured, and the two military supervisors, Wei Rong and Lu Zan, were also arrested. Almost all the elites of the country were scattered...

Eight years ago, the first emperor wanted to take advantage of Zhou Dynasty Emperor Shizong Guo Rongxin's accession to the throne and contact the Liao Kingdom to attack the Central Plains. As a result, he was defeated in the first battle of Gaoping and was besieged in Taiyuan. Finally, he relied on the assistance of the Liao Kingdom to repel the bandits. However, not many of the tens of thousands of troops survived, and the first emperor also died of depression after Zhou Guo withdrew his troops.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, he made great efforts to govern and conscientiously worked hard to slow down the precarious country.

Finally, after seven or eight years of rest and recuperation, finally there are soldiers, money and food, and young and strong men, pulling an army of 3 people. As a result, no one came back from this battle...

This undoubtedly makes things worse and makes it even more difficult for a country that is not rich.

And the most frightening thing is Shi Congyun, after killing the gods and killing Li Yun, will they continue to march northward and take Taiyuan directly? What will they do then!

Such a situation is unavoidable.

Zhao Huari felt his legs go weak after thinking about it. Although he did not agree with His Majesty's sending troops, that was before sending troops. Now that this situation has come, what else can he do?

He knew very well in his heart that as long as he crossed this threshold, His Majesty would definitely ask him a good question, and how he should answer at that time...
