Lu Chongming led the army, and rushed all the way, but still did not have time. On the way, he received the news that the Jin army was unimpeded, winning consecutive battles, conquering Tanzhou and Jizhou all the way, and approaching Yanshan Mansion.

The Jin army was powerful, divided into east and west, and swept in with an offensive that crushed everything.

Yanshan Mansion.

The sky has darkened, the clouds are heavy, and the majestic heavy rain is swept down with the howling wind.

Guard Guo Yaoshi walked back and forth in the study with a gloomy face. The sound of rain outside the window made his already irritable mood even worse.

,

After walking for a while, his eyes stayed on the sealed letter on the desk case. After a moment of contemplation, he wanted to reach out to take it. Just as his fingertips touched the snow-white envelope, he retracted it like a hot hand.

The handwriting on the envelope was not Song characters, but bronze script. Although he didn't open it, he clearly knew what was inside. This was a letter of surrender, which was secretly sent by Jin Guo general Wanyan Zongwang.

He was very hesitant, very hesitant, and it was fine to make friends with the Jinren secretly, but if he really surrendered to the Jinren and betrayed Da Song, could he do it?

Reality tells him that surrender is the best way out, Da Song has been rotten from the inside out, this big ship will capsize one day, sooner or later, and he will not end well if he follows it.

He is not a good person, let alone a loyal person. The so-called good bird chooses a tree to live in, and he will not feel any guilt because of this.

Although he thought so, the faint hesitation in his heart still prevented him from making a decision.

Just when he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a notification from someone saying that the prefect Wang Anzhong had come.

Pharmacist Guo was overjoyed and quickly let him in.

Wang Anzhong, the magistrate of Yanshan, is a middle-aged man in his forties. Although he is not young, he is in good condition. He has neither fat nor gray hair. How handsome he was when he was young.

When he came in, there was still water vapor on his clothes, and the upper of his shoes became half wet, leaving a watermark every step he took.

Swinging back the servants outside the door, Guo Yaoshi said: "It's raining so hard, you don't rest in the mansion, why are you running away from me?"

Wang Anzhong said with a smile: "I can't compare to General Guo. How can I sleep if I am so calm that the Jin people are about to attack."

Guo Yaoshi smiled wryly, "I'm not calm." He picked up the envelope on the table and handed it to him.

Wang Anzhong is quite talented and learned, and has dealt with the Jinren for many years. The Jinren's writing is not difficult for him, but the letter in his hand is obviously unopened, so I showed him first. This...

The hesitation on his face was clearly seen by Guo Yaoshi, he shook his head and said, "It's okay."

After the other party said so, Wang Anzhong naturally didn't hesitate any longer. He tore open the envelope twice and took out the letter paper. In the corner, Wanyan Zongwang's seal letter made him startled severely.

He looked up at Guo Yaoshi almost in fear, and then read the contents of the letter.

The letter was not long, just a few simple lines. After reading it, Wang Anzhong felt a chill down his spine, but there was a strange warmth mixed with the coldness.

"Master Guo," he licked his dry lips, and said, "Do you know what's in the letter?"

Guo Yaoshi said calmly: "Although I haven't seen it, I can probably guess it."

"Then what is the general's plan?"

Guo Yaoshi didn't answer immediately, but instead asked: "What if it's you?"

The two pairs of eyes looked at each other fixedly, Wang An's heart turned a thousand times, and he said after a while, "The Jin army is already in front of us, with the tens of thousands of troops in the city, Yanshan Mansion is doomed to be unable to defend."

Pharmacist Guo shrank his pupils, and said in a low voice, "You mean——surrender?!"

"If you don't want to die, you have to surrender!" Wang Anzhong lowered his voice and said, "General Zongwang has already shown his sincerity by recruiting the general with a high official and generous salary. What are you hesitating for? Is it really possible to live and die with this Yanshan Mansion?"

Of course not, he thought he hadn't lived enough, let alone a great hero who sacrificed his life for righteousness, but he frowned, "The officials have treated me well."

Guo Yaoshi was a military general in the Daliao Dynasty. After he surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he was highly regarded by Zhao Ji. After the maritime covenant, he was appointed as the envoy of the Wutai Army.

It can be said that grace has been added.

Wang Anzhong sneered, "When did the general become such a foolish and loyal person? A good bird chooses a tree to live in, that's all!"

Guo Yaoshi was still a little hesitant, "I was originally a general of Liao Dynasty, then surrendered to Song Dynasty, and now I betrayed and surrendered to Jin again, this..." He hesitated to speak.

Wang Anzhong understood that this might be the real reason why he could not make up his mind. How could a person who betrayed his master several times be trusted? What he was afraid of was that he would end up like Wen Hou Lu Bu.

It's just that he was also shaken in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't have such a hesitant expression.

Now all he wants is a firewood.

Wang Anzhong raised the letter paper in his hand, and said: "The letter was written by General Wanyan himself, which is enough to prove his sincerity. Once the general surrenders the gold, they will not fail to fulfill the promise in the letter. Otherwise, what is the integrity of the Jinren? Who will join the Jin Dynasty in the future?"

Guo Yaoshi was silent, he walked around the room again and again, finally stomped his feet fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Then let's surrender."

Wang Anzhong quietly raised the corners of his lips, the task has been completed, and the reward promised by the golden man should be fulfilled in due time.

It is late autumn now, and this heavy rain is extremely rare.

The roar of the horse's hooves covered up the sound of Dou Da's torrential rain, and the night was so vast that he could only see a square inch of the surrounding area as far as he could see.

This kind of rainy night running is a very hard work for the Imperial Army who are used to being pampered in the capital. If the leader of the army did not ride a horse and gallop ahead like them, there would be countless people complaining now.

Lu Chongming was very cold and uncomfortable. His black and thick robe was wet by the rain, and it was tightly stuck to his skin. Drops of water dripped down his temples and hair, and even his vision was blurred by the rain. I can only blink my eyes desperately.

He is not feeling very well right now, his right hand holding the rein is tightly clenched, his knuckles are white, his upper body leans forward slightly, and he crawls steadily on the horse's back, so as to relax his sore and painful legs. It can also slightly block the oncoming rain.

It's not that he didn't prepare a carriage, and the adjutants around him asked him to get in the carriage several times, but he refused all of them. He is a soldier, and he knows best how to conquer the hearts of a team in the shortest possible time.

Fortunately, since he came to this world, he has never stopped exercising his body. Otherwise, with the appearance of a frail scholar like the original owner, he would definitely be lying on the ground and unable to stand up now, and it would be a shame to lose face.

The torrential rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping. The adjutant beside him wiped the rainwater from his face fiercely, and persuaded him again: "My lord! The rain is too fast, and all the soldiers are very tired. Let's rest overnight let's go!"

In the dark night, Lu Chongming's gaze was like a sword. He didn't answer, just waved his horsewhip, and rushed into the rain without looking back...

When the sky was white, the sun was rising, and the treetops and eaves were washed clean, reflecting sparkling waves in the sun.

Wu Jie and his men stood in front of the camp and waited quietly, with their backs straight, and the atmosphere was dignified, only the sound of the north wind blowing the flags.

Suddenly, the earth vibrated, and the sound of thud thud thump was like knocking on the bottom of people's hearts. In the distance, on the horizontal plane where the sky and the earth intersect, a small black spot, two small black spots, and countless small black spots formed a huge wave. The black wave rushed towards this side like an overwhelming mountain.

Woo——The horn of desolation sounded, and the drums of war were rushing, getting faster and heavier, accompanied by the sound of rumbling horseshoes echoing over the camp.

The black trend is getting closer, and Wu Jie can clearly see the handsome and resolute facial features of the leader.

Woohoo——The sound of the horn changed again, and it was long and long. In the neighing of the horse, the sound of the drum suddenly disappeared, and the black torrent suddenly stopped.

Wu Jie led the people forward a few steps quickly, and knelt down on one knee while leaning on the hilt of his sword, "The last general, Wu Jie, leads all the soldiers in the East Road camp to welcome Mr. Gu!"

Lu Chongming turned over and got off the horse. His body, which had been bumped all day and night, almost fell when he got off the horse, but he swayed and stopped.

Both legs were a little numb, and the root of the thigh was sore and unbearable. It was as if the whole person had been disassembled and reassembled, but it was still within the tolerance range.

You don't need to look at him to know how embarrassed he is now, he has already felt several surprised looks from the opposite side.

"General Wu doesn't need to be polite." Lu Chongming raised his hand and said, "The [-] imperial troops who came with me, please arrange them properly, General."

Wu Jie cupped his hands, his lowered eyes well concealed the emotions inside.

"General!" The adjutant at the side suddenly interjected, "My lord is very tired after traveling all the way here. May I ask the general to arrange a place for him to freshen up?"

Wu Jie hurriedly said: "Everything has been prepared, please come with me, my lord."

Lu Chongming didn't object, he was really tired now, and he wanted to take a bath and change his clothes.

There are [-] Song troops in the camp on the East Road, and all of them are elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield and fought to the death with the Jin people. It's just a joke, no wonder Wu Jie doesn't like it anymore.

But although he didn't like it, he didn't dare to neglect it. After all, he was brought out from the capital by his immediate superior. I heard that the generals in the Forbidden Army were all born in aristocratic families, and they all had some status, so not only could he not neglect, It is also necessary to be served carefully to minimize the conflict between the two armies.

Perhaps his efforts had paid off. For the next two days, the imperial army and the people from the East Road Camp did not interfere with each other. They could not be said to be harmonious with each other, but there were no major flaws.

Lu Chongming was very busy these two days, busy with the army, busy with training, busy with deployment, busy with getting to know the generals in the East Road camp, until the third day, Wu Jie sent an urgent letter of [-] miles to him.

In the big tent, there was no sound.

Lu Chongming sat at the head, quietly watched the people pass the letter around, and then said: "You have already understood the matter, what are your thoughts?"

One person immediately stood up and said, "Need to say? Yanshan is in danger, so we must send troops to rescue immediately!"

Two days was enough time for Lu Chongming to have a general understanding of the generals present. He recognized the somewhat reckless young man in front of him named Jiang Shixuan. It is fine to charge forward, but absolutely not to be the commander of an army.

When thinking like this, Lu Chongming said lightly: "According to my speculation, Yanshan Mansion should last at least ten days. This urgent letter is unreasonable."

"How unreasonable!" Jiang Shixuan said anxiously: "It must be that the Jin people are attacking fiercely, Yanshan Mansion can't resist it, and the city is about to be broken, so come to ask for help. I will bluntly say that the most important thing for adults is not to sit here and discuss The talisman does not conform to common sense, but the whole army should go to the rescue immediately!"

"Shixuan!" Seeing his rudeness, Wu Jie let out a low voice in displeasure.

Jiang Shixuan respected him very much, his mouth shrugged, and he stopped talking.

Lu Chongming was not angry because of his outspokenness, he just said lightly: "This matter is strange, an urgent letter can't explain anything, we need someone to go and check it out."

Wu Jie was thoughtful, "Your Excellency, you mean this might be a trap?"

"I don't know!" Lu Chongming spread his hands, "I just want to be more cautious."

Most people in the tent didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was afraid of death. For a long time, there have been many civil servants like him sent from Beijing. He is not the first, nor will he be the last.

It's just that he is their immediate boss after all, and all Song armies in Hebei must obey his command. If he is determined not to rescue them, no one can disobey his order.

Another day passed, and another letter was sent from Yanshan Mansion, this time it was a blood book. The person who sent the letter was also wounded, and looked like he had been killed in a sea of ​​blood. After seeing Lu Chongming, he was even more Weeping bitterly, he kept kowtowing to let him send troops.

They were both soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and the plight of the sender made the people in the East Road camp feel sympathetic, and even felt a little resentful towards Lu Chongming who still insisted on not sending troops.

Wu Jie had approached him in private, and begged to send troops for reinforcements, but Lu Chongming didn't answer, but asked some irrelevant questions, and then fell silent.

He had no choice but to leave, but he didn't forget to leave a sentence "If your lord insists on doing this, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable".

Lu Chongming suppressed all requests for him to send troops to Yanshan Mansion, whether explicit or covert, he did not explain to anyone, only remained silent, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't know how to say it. Intuition developed over the years? !

I'm afraid it will be taken as a joke.

The atmosphere in the camp became tense, and the morale of the army fluctuated. Lu Chongming still trained troops every day, or he just stood in a daze in front of the huge map.

On the fourth day, an imperial decree arrived at Donglu Camp and was placed in front of Lu Chongming.

He moved his brows slightly, put the bright yellow imperial decree aside, and remained silent.

"My lord..." Wu Jie carefully looked at Daoming's yellow will, and felt terrified, he couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.

Lu Chongming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Let's go out and organize the army."

Wu Jie heaved a sigh of relief, clasped his fists together, and strode out.

On the fifth day, Lu Chongming disappeared in the camp with most of the Song army.

The blue sky and white clouds, the green grass, the long army can't see the end at a glance.

Wanyan Zongwang is no longer young, his hair is white, his beard is white, and there are still deep wrinkles on his forehead and eyebrows, but his complexion is still rosy, his arms are still strong, and his strong body sits on the back of a horse like a horse. hill.

He pointed his horsewhip obliquely, and said with a smile: "How does my Dajin's army compare to that of the Song Dynasty?"

The horse that Guo Yaoshi rode was one step behind him. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "The bravery and skill of the soldiers of the Great Jin is well known in the world. How can the weak like the Song Dynasty compare with the Jin people?"

Wanyan Zongwang laughed, apparently in a good mood.

"This time I attack the Song Dynasty, if I don't break Bianliang, I swear I won't return to the court!"

Guo Yaoshi clasped his hands and said: "General Wanyan has been going all the way south, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, winning consecutive battles, he will surely get his wish!"

"I have to thank General Guo for being able to go so smoothly." Wanyan Zongwang praised: "Don't worry, General, after I return to the court after victory and report to Lord Lang, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

Guo Yaoshi showed joy, "The last general would like to thank the general first."

After a pause, he said again: "It's a pity that Wu Jie and those people didn't fall for the trap, otherwise the generals would really be able to come and go freely from here to Bianjing."

Wanyan Zongwang said with relief: "If the plan fails, it's not entirely the general's fault. Song people are always cunning and suspicious."

Guo Yaoshi shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that I set up such a seamless trap this time, and deliberately brought the matter in front of Emperor Song to order him to suppress it, but I didn't expect it to be successful." I don't understand, it stands to reason that Wu Jie has an upright temperament, he is not a person who would do nothing but see death, and he should be [-]% sure of the plan, why did he miscalculate? !

Wanyan Zongwang didn't take it seriously, he snapped his horsewhip, and said boldly: "It's good for the strategy to succeed, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed. I, Da Jin Erlang, are all brave and good at fighting. If I confront the Song army head-on, I only need one Back and forth, you can kill them all!"

……

The annoying crickets bouncing up and down made his head ache.

With a slap and a wave of the palm, the poor cricket instantly turned into a puddle of meat.

Jiang Shixuan and his [-] troops have been nesting here for two days. He himself doesn't know why he is standing here. He didn't go north for reinforcements, but hid by the Yellow River to listen to the wind and drink water.

It's not that he didn't want to ask the superiors for an explanation, but was stopped by Wu Jie, because he was afraid that his outspoken personality would annoy Lu Chongming.

There are many people in the army who think like him, but Lu Chongming didn't give any explanation. He just went out day and night every day, marching secretly, and finally arrived at the bank of the Yellow River two days ago.

On the third day, the long-awaited prey finally arrived.

The densely packed boats are displayed on the river, and countless golden men and soldiers lead horses, line up and line up, and board the boats to cross the river in an orderly manner.

Wanyan Zong looked towards the wind blowing from the river, and looked far to the south, where the most prosperous and prosperous Song Dynasty was welcoming the horseshoes and flames of war of the golden men with open arms!

"General!" A soldier came running, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, "Everything is ready, we can cross the river."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, and said to the lieutenant beside him: "Everyone will cross the river in two batches, you go first, I'll be last!"

The lieutenant led the way.

The current is fast and the wind on the river is very strong. The accident happened only in an instant.

Wanyan Zongwang watched helplessly as countless burning boats rushed down like arrows from the upper stream and crashed into the fleet of golden men, so fast that people didn't even have time to react.

Countless sharp arrows rained down like rain. The Jin army did not expect it. They collided with each other in panic. Those who fell into the water trampled each other and killed countless people.

"Water! Water! Water is coming up!"

"The boat is sinking, help!"

"There are people underwater!"

All kinds of panicked voices were in a mess, drowned in the screams before dying...

Wanyan Zongwang's face was pale, and he watched the extremely tragic scene happen, but he was powerless.

"General! General!" Someone ran over, "Retreat quickly! It's been tricked, this is a trick of the Song people! Withdraw quickly!"

Wanyan Zong slapped him with a slap, slapping Guo Yaoshi so hard, he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Where are the scouts! Who are the scouts from the former army! There are enemies lying in ambush and they haven't been found out yet. I want to wring them out!" head!"

"Now is not the time to pursue these matters!" Guo Yaoshi covered his swollen face and shouted, "Withdraw the army first! The other half of the people are hopeless, so save this half of the army first!"

"Fart!" Wanyan Zongwang pushed him away forcefully, and said with red eyes, "That's my Daikin's good boy. As the coach, how can I ignore them!"

He looked around, and shouted loudly: "The group of southern barbarians are a bunch of cowards. My Dajin warriors are invincible. Kill them! Kill them all!"

"Kill kill kill!"

Countless golden men waved their scimitars and rushed forward screaming.

"Crazy! They're all a bunch of lunatics!" Guo Yaoshi's swollen eyes, like his face, could only see the flames, the blood, and the fallen corpses and heads...

Amidst the sound of the horn, the sound of killing shook the sky. One from the left and the other from the right, two teams came outflanking the Jin people, and the situation of the Jin army was even more difficult.

"General, retreat!" Guo Yaoshi threw himself at Wanyan Zongwang's feet and said in despair, "Otherwise, the entire army will be wiped out..."

Wanyan Zongwang's hands were trembling slightly. For the first time, he couldn't even hold the knife in his hand, and his tall figure even hunched slightly.

After all, he is a famous general. Although at the beginning he lost his composure because he watched tens of thousands of gold troops die in front of him, he is now awake. As I said, if you continue, you will only be wiped out.

He raised his hand and said in a trembling voice, "Withdraw the troops!"

The Jin army retreated hastily along the original road. When the [-] troops who came came, only [-] remained when they left. Everyone was still in shock and hurried forward, fearing that the enemy troops behind would catch up.

Boom boom boom!The drums sounded again, and Jiang Shixuan, who had been lying in ambush for many days, led people to hide and kill from the side. The Jin army was so shocked that they even galloped without even seeing the number of enemies clearly.

Pity those Jin Jun who lost their horses. After all, they can't run with two legs. They were chased by the Song Jun, reaping their lives like harvesting wheat.

The Song army chased the Jin army for seven days, making the Jin army look like a frightened bird. When they arrived at Yanshan Mansion, Wanyan Zongwang wanted to go to the city to take refuge, but what he saw was hanging at the gate of the city, including Wang Anzhong. The heads of dozens of people who descended from gold.

On the high city wall, a man in black and toga stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a loud voice, "General Wanyan Zongwang, it's the first time we meet, please be polite."

Wanyan Zongwang's lips trembled slightly, "Who are you?"

"Gu Lanxi, I'm down, Gu Lanxi!"

In September of the first year of Xuanhe, Jin soldiers attacked Song Dynasty in two ways.

In mid-September of the first year of Xuanhe, Gu Lanxi, deputy envoy of the Privy Council and the envoy of Hebei Zhizhi, led the army to fight against the Jin people.

At the beginning of October in the first year of Xuanhe, Gu Lanxi defeated the Jin people, beheaded more than [-] enemies, and recovered Yanshan Mansion, Tanzhou and other places;

At the end of October in the first year of Xuanhe, the Jin people withdrew their troops, and the plan to attack the Song Dynasty ended in disastrous failure.

The name of Gu Lanxi is widely spread all over the world.

In December of the first year of Xuanhe, Gu Lanxi led the command to sit in the north, train the army, and govern the region, and the land of Hebei showed signs of prosperity.

In the next few years, there were occasional frictions with the Jinren, but they all ended in victory.

In June of the third year of Xuanhe, Emperor Li Qianshun of Xixia joined forces with the Jin people to take the land of Hexi in the Great Song Dynasty. Gu Lanxi led the crusade, beheading more than [-] enemies and killing [-] prisoners of war. hurt.

The name of Gu Lanxi is spread all over the world, it can stop children from crying at night!
