Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Seven
The northern and southern cities of Fugu fought fiercely day and night on the bridge erected over the Yellow River.
Corpses were strewn all over the bed, and the whole stone bridge was smeared with blood. During the day, the bridgehead was illuminated by strong sunlight, and at night, there was howling wind, so the blood would turn into black scabs. Fresh blood is constantly being added.From a distance, the gray-white stone bridge has turned dark red.
In Bihe Courtyard, there is a different scene. This whole Taoist temple has been used as Zheziyu’s former enemy command post. A tense and solemn atmosphere.
Bihe Courtyard used to be the place where Zhe Ziyu and Yang Hao had a heart-to-heart talk. Now that several years have passed, the scenery of Bihe Courtyard is still the same. It is also early autumn, half of the pool is clear water, the lotus leaves are lush, the lotus is half withered, and the bowls are big. The lotus pod hangs heavily on the stem.Zhe Ziyu was dressed in men's clothing, standing on the railing, looking lonely.
"Let's go to Biheyuan for a sit down. The environment there is very elegant. I used to pass by there, and I really like the quiet atmosphere there, but I haven't had a chance to go in and enjoy it. What do you think?"
"You can go wherever you say, anyway, I just go out for a walk, and I don't have a definite place to go."
"Then I'll directly take you back to Luling Prefecture to be a Mrs. Yazhai, do you have any objections?"
Zhe Ziyu sighed quietly: "That boy, that is to say, if he really has the courage to be a robber who kidnaps Mrs. Zhai, even if it is a bit unreasonable, he can be regarded as a man, but he doesn't With an uncontrollable temper, when can you become a domineering king of the mountain?"
Back then, she disguised herself as a peasant girl in green clothes, pretending to meet Yang Hao on the street and flirting with her when they went to Bihe Courtyard together, and the words of flirting and cursing vaguely echoed in her ears. Dejected.
Zhe Ziyu leaned lightly on the stone railing, feeling physically and mentally exhausted: "Now the situation in Fuzhou is rotten, how should we deal with it? The family is in the hands of the imperial court. Although the more noise here, the safer the family is, There is no danger of their lives, but... But how can we rescue them, will we be separated from them forever in this life, and never see each other again?"
Zhe Ziyu was in a deep trance, when there was a sound of footsteps, Zhe Ziyu calmed down, looked back, and it was Qin Yiyun, son of the Qin family, who was walking in a hurry.I remembered that when she and Yang Hao were sitting on the railing, drinking tea and admiring the lotus, Qin Yiyun broke in because of Tang Yanyan's drunkenness, and wanted to fight with Yang Hao, but because of drunkenness, he injured his forehead with a stick and fell into the pool , Zhe Ziyu couldn't help showing a bitter smile on his lips.
That day, Yanyan, who had nothing to do with Yang Hao, has really become his wife now; Mr. Qin has already healed his emotional wounds, married a wife and had children, started a family and started a business, but he...is still alone, things are people No.
"Fifth son." Seeing Zhe Ziyu, Qin Yiyun hurriedly cupped his fists at her and saluted solemnly.
Qin Yiyun was dressed in light armor and had a small mustache on his lips. Compared with the young man in light clothes back then, he was a little less flamboyant and a little more dignified.
Zhe Ziyu nodded slightly, and asked, "Is there any progress in the attack on Baihuawu?"
Qin Yiyun let out a turbid breath, shook his head and said: "Baihuawu is dangerous and unattainable, there is only one way to pass the customs, and the defenders in the dock rely on the danger. Zhan, there are countless casualties, and the powerful siege equipment can't be transported, I'm afraid... if we don't use up the food in the city, we won't be able to overcome it in one fell swoop."
Zhe Ziyu frowned slightly, and muttered: "Song people created such a big battle, and they will never die easily. The food stored in Baihuawu can be consumed by them for at least a month, and the army of the imperial court is advancing every step of the way. , Reinforcements continued, although our army tried its best to fight to the death, the dangerous pass has been lost, and it may not last for a month...absolutely not. You come, do you have any suggestions from Sir Ren and General Ma?"
Generals such as Ren Qingshu and Ma Zongqiang were currently supervising the battle at the bridgehead. When Qin Yiyun came, Zhe Ziyu naturally thought that they had some new ideas about the current battle situation.
Qin Yiyun said: "Otherwise, when the fifth son asked, I only talked about the battle situation ahead. I came here because General Yang of Linzhou sent his son and led a team of light cavalry to break through the heavy defense line of Song soldiers and horses. forward."
Zhe Ziyu moved and said, "Have you already contacted them? Why don't you invite the Major General here?"
Qin Yiyun smiled wryly and said: "I don't know what General Yang said. Now the generals in front of the army are raging and very angry. Sir Ren and Lord Ma can't hold back the bullets. I feel that something is wrong, so I rushed to report to Fifth Young Master. report."
Zhe Ziyu was startled, and hurriedly said, "Let's go and have a look."
At this time, the bridgehead was in chaos, not only the generals were there, but also many civil affairs officials who were in charge of transporting arrows and armaments and recruiting young men to serve at the bridgehead were also gathered at the bridgehead. Biheyuan is only two arrows away from the bridge, not too far away. Zhe Ziyu led all the officials who were working in the central office of Biheyuan to rush to the front of the formation, and saw Yang Yanpu was surrounded, and many civil and military officials from the prefecture and state were surrounded. Accusing something loudly, when Zhe Ziyu arrived, the people surrounding him immediately moved out of the way. "Fifth son, you came just in time..." When Ren Qingshu saw Zhe Ziyu, he immediately rushed forward, walked in with her, and hurriedly explained the reason for Yang Yanpu's visit in a low voice. "Oh?" Zhe Ziyu listened calmly. When he came to Yang Yanpu, Yang Yanpu hurried forward and said, "Yang Yanpu of Linzhou has met the fifth son. Yanpu came here on the order of his father. There is a big event..." Speaking of personal friendship, Yang Yanpu is Zhe Ziyu's nephew, although he is a few years older than Zhe Ziyu, but Zhe Ziyu is his real aunt, but at the moment he represents the power of Yang Hao, But Zhe Ziyu is a representative figure of Fuzhou. In front of so many civil and military officials in Fuzhou, it is more appropriate for the two to use their official names. It is not easy to talk about their personal relationship. Zhe Ziyu smiled faintly, nodded his head and said, "The major general has come from a long way, and has gone through many dangers along the way. Could it be that my Zhe family doesn't even owe me a cup of tea? Please, let's go to Bihe Courtyard to talk." She swept her eyes wide and said, "My lords, come too." In a small living room converted from a quiet room in Bihe Courtyard, Zhe Ziyu, Yang Yanpu, Ren Qingshu, Ma Zongqiang and several civil servants with important positions in the prefecture sat in it. Yang Yanpu analyzed the current situation in detail, and put Zhongfang and Yang Jiye together Confessing his thoughts and plans for the next step, he said solemnly: "Fifth son, I know that if we do this, the soldiers and people of Fuzhou will be disappointed, thinking that we have given up our friends in front of the enemy. But on the battlefield, what is weighed is strength, and what is contested is victory or defeat. Fuzhou's defense is already riddled with holes, and there are Wu Wei and 10,000 Kelan troops firmly nailed to the key points of Fugu, ready to send troops to support the Song army at any time , Forming a flank-to-back attack, there is an endless stream of soldiers from the Song Dynasty outside, and they are successively seizing various key points, beacon tunnels, fortresses and fortresses. If we wait until they are deployed, it will be too late for us to respond. At that time, even if the fifth son was willing to give up Fuzhou and the court soldiers chased after him, we would not have time to build a second line of defense in Hengshan, and the result would be a crushing defeat.Fifth son, the ancients have a saying: 'A viper stings a hand, a strong man looses his wrist'.If we don't make a decisive decision at this time, the poisonous snake Wang Jien will spread the poison to all the vital points in the two prefectures of Linfu, restraining us from moving, and when Pan Mei arrives, the situation will be over. My father ordered me to come here, to state the advantages and disadvantages, and sincerely invite the fifth son to lead the family army to advance and retreat with me, and return to Fanghengshan together.Keeping the green hills here, even if there is no firewood, we may not be able to make a comeback in the future by accumulating strength. Fifth son, I hope that the fifth son can proceed from the overall situation and make wise choices. " Zhe Ziyu stared at him, his jade face was slightly cold, and asked in a deep voice: "According to what the young general said just now, no matter what my Zhe family chooses, General Yang will give up Linzhou and withdraw from Hengshan?" "Yes!" Yang Yanpu replied without hesitation, and then continued: "However, this is forced by the situation, and we have to make the choice that is most conducive to our preservation of strength and reversal of the decline. If the fifth son is willing to lead his troops to withdraw Hengshan, my father would like to take a step back and lead the subordinates of Linzhou to launch an attack on the Ninghua Army of Dabaojin, the Jinning Army of Zhenchuanbao, and the Pingding Army of Shagulu, so as to restrain their actions and make the five princes' troops calm down. retreat." Zhe Ziyu stared at him without blinking, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this Taiwei Yang's idea?" "Yang Taiwei is far away in the Western Regions, and now he is using troops against Jinshan State. As for the change in Fuzhou, the Taiwei probably just received the news. What did the Taiwei propose? It has not been sent back to our hands. A strategy that I worked out with my father." Zhe Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, please take a break, Major General, and let me discuss it with the civil and military students of Fuzhou. Lord Ma, arrange a residence for the Major General, and invite the Major General and Linzhou who came with him The soldiers should take a good rest and arrange some sumptuous meals." "Yes." Ma Zongqiang rose up in response, bowed his hands to Yang Yanpu and said, "Young General, please."
