Chapter 65 The sixty-fifth round of militarism and poor soldiers finally awarded the head of Gou'an, fearing the enemy and withdrawing the army

On the other side, Wanyan Changzhi was already launching a fierce attack on Helian Qingyun, the steel whip of Zhang Xuchang made a whistling sound, and a cloud of whip shadows rolled up, Helian Qingyun's figure was already in the air. Under the shadow of the whip.Helian Qingyun slashed out at a slant to protect his chest with a horizontal sword, she saw this sword very accurately, she was defensive while attacking, intending to cut off Wanyan Changzhi's whip head.It's a pity that she couldn't do what she wanted, and only heard a "clank", her blue steel sword was swung aside by the steel whip, and the door opened wide. Wanyan Changzhi shouted: "Let go! Down!" The long whip was as strict as a poisonous snake , Swish it down on her pulse door.

Kankan was about to strike, when suddenly there was a flash of silver light, the Penglai Witch stabbed towards him obliquely, she made a "horizontal golden beam" move with the sword in her right hand, and blocked this move for Helian Qingyun.Whisk the whip with his left hand, and then wrap the whip around, preventing him from swinging left and right, and hurting Helian Qingyun. Helian Qingyun panted for a while, and with a slap of the flat sword, the blade edged upwards along the long whip, and also shouted: "Let go!" Wanyan Changzhi hurriedly pulled out the long whip, forcing them to retreat a few steps.

Helian Qingyun said in a low voice: "Thank you, sister." Seeing that the Penglai Witch sacrificed her life to save her, she was very moved, and secretly said: "Shame! I was jealous of them just now, but she didn't discriminate against me." The two teamed up and beat Wanyan Changzhi a little bit, but they still had to deal with the warriors besieging from all directions, they still couldn't break through the encirclement, they could only kill inextricably. At this time, a white belly appeared in the east, and the sky was about to light up.The embers of the burnt warships on the Yangtze River are still alive, as if setting off the red haze for a long time.Standing on the top of the hill, Wan Yanliang looked from a distance, and saw the navy that he had been operating for many years destroyed by a torch, and the huge ship sank in the middle of the river, he couldn't help being depressed.All of a sudden, I saw a silver streak appearing in the heart of the river, and I heard a slight sound. In the blink of an eye, it was already white waves surging, and the sound of the tide seemed like spring thunder!Shake the valley!

Wan Yanliang said in his heart: "The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The tide of the Yangtze River is spectacular, but unfortunately I lost the navy this time, and I can no longer ride the wind and waves." He remembered Su Dongpo's words When I read the words, I suddenly thought of the previous two sentences, "The great river goes east, and the waves scour all the romantic people through the ages." It seems that it is a portrayal of myself today.All his life he was proud of being a hero, thinking about it, he felt even more sad.

In a blink of an eye, the dawn has appeared, and the sun has just risen, and the scenery below the mountain can be seen more clearly than before.I saw the flags fluttering, people and horses galloping, and the situation on the battlefield seemed a bit wrong.All of a sudden, only the sound of golden drums shook the sky. Wan Yanliang panicked and said to himself: "Is this the raging tide of the Yangtze River, or is it the marching drums of the Song army?" Go and report!" Before the words were finished, there was dust flying, and a small group of soldiers and horses had rushed up the mountain. This group of troops were neither Jin soldiers, nor Song costumes, but ordinary people's clothes, like a "crowd", but Its movements are extremely agile, and its attacks are also extremely fierce.The one in the front was an old man with short hair and thin, holding a walking stick, who seemed to be limping.

This lame old man was holding a cane, but he was much faster than ordinary people. He could only hear the sound of jingling, like a pipa playing in a hurry. Every time he touched the ground with his cane, he flew forward a few feet. There are so many elite imperial guards, but they can't stop him. The Penglai witch exclaimed with great joy: "Daddy!" It turned out that it was her father Liu Yuanzong who came.Liu Yuanzong selected a hundred heroes with light kung fu and high martial arts skills, to avoid the enemy's main force in the melee, and to kill them by stealth. When Gongsun Qi saw that it was Liu Yuanzong, he was frightened out of his wits. He had suffered a lot from Liu Yuanzong several times. Now that his skill has not fully recovered, how could he still dare to fight? Can't catch up.

Wan Yanliang said angrily: "Puppet, pustule, you are all pustule! Hurry up and take this old man down!" Turning around, he pointed at Gongsun Qi and cursed: "I ran away before the battle, thanks to your bragging rights! The number one hero in the Southern Dynasties! Do you still want to be my county horse?" Gongsun Qi escaped for his life, so he just listened and ignored, thinking: "It doesn't matter if this county horse does it or not." There are a few warriors who are in the way, give him back knocked down. Wanyan Liangkong lost his temper, but his subordinates were unable to stop Liu Yuanzong, let alone "take down" him.Liu Yuanzong swung the iron crutches like a dragon, and the warriors who had besieged the Penglai Witch dodged one after another. As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Wanyan Changzhi had no choice but to resist desperately. Liu Yuanzong said: "Okay, we are old rivals, let's fight again !" With a whistling crutch sweeping away, with the sound of wind and thunder faintly, Wanyan Changzhi made a move of "withered vines wrapped around the tree", and the long whip wrapped around the iron crutch.Liu Yuanzong yelled: "Let go!" He could only hear the sound of "Forcing divination", the long whip made of fine steel was really broken like a withered vine.Wanyan Changzhi knew that he was no match, so he had no choice but to turn around and run away regardless of face.

The Penglai Witch quickly asked: "Daddy, how is our rebel army?" Liu Yuanzong said: "General Yu's navy has come ashore, and our rebel army has broken through with their support." Yi asked, "How is the battle at the foot of the mountain?" Liu Yuanzong smiled and said, "Look, your Brother Yi has come!" Only thousands of soldiers shouted in unison: "Don't let the faint king go!" Yelu Yuanyi led the vanguard, took the lead, and had already killed the hillside, and the big handsome flag could be seen on the top of the hill.The defeated army of the Kingdom of Jin rushed up the mountain like a tide.

Seeing that it was Yelu Yuanyi's "rebel army" who came here, Wanyan Liang wanted to order Wanyan Changzhi to collect the defeated soldiers and use the Imperial Forest Army to suppress the formation and resist desperately.Before the order was issued, Hargai, the forward commander, lost his armor and fled back in a state of embarrassment. He didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers, and shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the army of the Song Dynasty has already crossed the river. They're coming here!" Wanyan Changzhi said: "Winning or losing is a common thing for military strategists, Your Majesty, please move the holy chariot, go back to regroup, and make a comeback." Gather the imperial forest army with more than half of the casualties, protect Wanyan Liang and fight and leave.

Yelu Yuanyi yelled: "Where is the faint king going!" Wan Yanliang was so frightened that he said in multiple voices: "Beat the gathering drum quickly, call for reinforcements to rescue him quickly." Before he finished speaking, he could only hear the sound of killing at the foot of the mountain, and they all shouted: "Hugh is going to let go. Yan Liang!" As far as the eye could see, the Shi flags of Song State were already waving in the wind everywhere on the battlefield.On the surface of the Yangtze River in the distance, thousands of sails are also sailing, and the Song army is crossing the river one after another.

Wan Yanliang sighed and said: "Yu Yunwen's navy is less than 100,000, why is it so powerful? You must have lied about the military situation and made me underestimate the enemy. Cough, it's heaven and earth, heaven and earth!" "It's a pity that Wanyan Liang, when his reputation is ruined, still doesn't understand the principle that a righteous teacher has no reason, and an invasion must be defeated. He refuses to blame himself, but blames his subordinates and heaven.In fact, the Song army was indeed less than 100,000, and only 30% of them had already crossed the river.But after the destruction of the Jin army fleet, the soldiers had no fighting spirit. Although the army of the Song Dynasty was small, there were various volunteers to cooperate, and Yelu Yuanyi's "rebel army" responded internally. , The left sergeant has no fighting spirit and is invincible. Wanyan Changzhi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old minister is willing to protect the sage and drive down the mountain." Before the words were finished, Yelu Yuanyi had already rushed to the army, and the army carrying the banner of the Song Dynasty had already killed halfway up the mountain.Tan Daoxiong shouted: "Shoot the arrows!" He still has hundreds of "God Arm Bow" archers under him, and at one command, they shot at Yelu Yuanyi one after another with strong bows and crossbows, and shot down a row of soldiers around him. . Yelu Yuanyi said angrily: "It's indecent to come and not to go, and shoot!" His soldiers used ordinary bows and arrows, which were not as powerful as the god's arm bow, but firstly, the morale was high, and secondly, there were a large number of people, everyone vying for the first, everyone Bravely, a thousand arrows were like locusts, and they shot over, immediately suppressing the arrogance of the "God Arm Bow", Wan Yanliang's master archers were shot and killed no more than a dozen, and the rest either abandoned their bows and fled, or did not. Daring to fight, he drew his bow and retreated.After all, the decision of victory or defeat on the battlefield depends on people, not weapons. Yelu Yuanyi snatched a divine arm bow and shouted: "Wanyan Liang, you can also learn from my archery technique. Look at the arrow!" Swish, swish, and swish three arrows shot in succession, his physical strength was amazing, and he shot all three arrows When they got to Wanyan Liang, they were all knocked down by Wanyan Changzhi. Liu Yuanzong didn't say a word, he raised a few stones casually, and hit Wanyan Changzhi. He used his superb internal strength to fire a hidden weapon, which was stronger than Yelu Yuanyi's divine arm bow. Wanyan Changzhi was in a hurry and couldn't take care of himself. The bow was like a thunderbolt, the arrow was like a shooting star, Yelu Yuanyi "swooshed" another arrow, this arrow hit Wanyan Liang's back heart, immediately knocked him off the horse! Wanyan was shocked and was about to run to rescue him.Suddenly an officer emerged from the chaos, and with a click, he raised his knife and chopped off Wanyan Liang's head. This knife came so suddenly, no one expected it, when the guard next to Wan Yanliang woke up like a dream and shouted in an uproar, the man had already taken Wan Yanliang's head, got on his horse and galloped away.Wanyan Changzhi heard the guards' shouts, only then realized that he was so frightened that his heart was splitting, he hurriedly took two spears, and threw them at the back of the man, the man did not turn his head back, instead, he snapped two spears and smashed the two long spears. The spears were all knocked down.Once Wan Yanliang died, the Imperial Forest Army, which has always been strict in military discipline, was also defeated. The people on the battlefield turned their backs on their backs and abandoned their weapons and armor. The man had already disappeared among the chaos. Yelu Yuanyi was both surprised and regretful, and said: "I don't know who this person is, he is so skilled. It's a pity that I couldn't cut off Wanyan Liang's head with my own hands, but gave it to him instead." Helian Qingxia He laughed and said, "Brother Yi, you were the one who shot this stupid king to death. You should be satisfied with the revenge of your country and family." At this time, the sky was already bright white, and a round of red sun emerged from the clouds, dispelling the clouds and mists all over the sky, and illuminating the earth, mountains and rivers.Under the rising sun, amidst the sound of golden drums, I saw a big "Yu" commander's flag waving in the wind. It turned out that it was Yu Yunwen who personally led the forwards of the Song Dynasty to fight there, and Yelu Yuanyi's Liao army and Liu Yuanzong's rebel army The teams from all three sides met at the top of the hill. The Penglai Witch was overjoyed, so she went forward with her father to meet Yu Yunwen. Yu Yunwen learned that Wan Yanliang was dead, so she sent an order to temporarily camp on the top of the mountain, and clean up the battlefield after the troops from both sides crossed the river.It must be known that the strength of the two sides at this time is still several times that of the Song army. If they chase after them, it is inevitable that they will fight against each other.The culprit was only Wan Yanliang, Wan Yanliang was dead, so he could forgive him. Although the Song army did not chase after them, the defeated Jin army trampled on each other, causing many casualties.Yu Yunwen rode up on the hill, raised his whip and sighed: "Niliang's big words are so hot that he wants to throw his whip to stop the flow. Now that the soldiers have not crossed the river, they are already decapitated. Beware of those who are militaristic!" In this battle, Yu Yunwen used literati to supervise the division, and he won the many with the few, and established the miraculous feat of "wiping out the masts and sculls in ashes and smoke", which is comparable to Zhou Lang's battle of Chibi.But to defeat the aggression and defend the country, this battle is of greater significance, and it is far from comparable to the Battle of Chibi.Later, Zhang Xiaoxiang (Yuhu), a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, had a song "Shui Tiao Ge Tou", which wrote about the battle of Caishiji, and praised Yu Yunwen: "The snow washes away the captives and the dust is quiet, and the wind keeps the clouds in Chu. Who wrote the tragedy? The ancient city of blowing horns Lou. Lakes and seas are full of heroism, the current scenery of Guansai, cut candles to see Wu hook. The place where the rhinoceros is burning with joy, the waves and the sky float. Recalling the past, Zhou and Xie, rich spring and autumn. Therefore, you can swim. Chibi rocky head falls to shine, and the decaying grass beside the Feishui bridge is so faint that it makes people worry. I want to ride the wind and bow to the middle stream." This word describes the great victory of the Song army, after the "snow washes away the dust", the triumphant song is played, and the scene and pride of Wu Gou are laughed.In the poem, Yu Yunwen is compared to Zhou Yu who defeated Cao Cao in Chibi, Xie Xuan who defeated Qin in Feishui, and Xunye is even more outstanding.Although the ancients have become a thing of the past with "the head of the rocky head falling down" and "the grass withered by the bridge", their spirit of resisting the enemy with the weak defeating the strong is still inspiring the people of today.The words are so majestic and meaningful that it is worthy of being a masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages. Gossip table too.Let's say that after Yu Yunwen met Liu Yuanzong's father and daughter, Yelu Yuanyi and others also came to meet each other.Knowing that Yelu Yuanyi shot and killed Wan Yanliang, Yu Yunwen was very relieved and praised him.Yelu Yuanyi said: "The king of gold has no way, and the world is the same enemy. It's not only the people of Song and Liao who hate it to the bone. Even the people of insight under the rule of Jin are also determined to overthrow the tyrant. This time I can shoot all the tyrants." Yan Liang got a lot of help from a friend from the Kingdom of Jin, this man has excellent knowledge and is versatile in both civil and military affairs, would the Marshal want to meet him?" Yu Yunwen said happily: "There is such a person, why don't you see him? Where is he?" Yelu Yuanyi said: "It's right here. Brother Tan, Brother Tan, please come here." He called several times, but there was no answer. Yelu Yuanyi said: "It's strange, the one who was with me just now, but where did he go?" He asked people to look for it separately, and after a while, Helian Qingxia came back and reported: "Someone saw him go down the mountain." Yelu Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment, and said: "Going down the mountain? Why didn't you tell me first?" Helian Qingxia said: "He didn't even tell his sister and my sister, so he left quietly alone." It turned out that Wulin Tianjiao was at a loss after Wan Yanliang was killed, unable to tell whether it was joy or sadness, or both.When the tyrant was punished, he fulfilled his life's ambition, so he was very happy; but seeing the scene of Jin Guo's soldiers turning their backs on their backs and trampling each other, with casualties everywhere on the battlefield, he couldn't help feeling pain in his heart, his eyes blurred with tears, and he thought: , It’s true that you deserve what you deserve, but it’s a pity that our people are innocent, and they are also affected by this tea poison!” After all, he is still a nobleman in the Kingdom of Jin. Although it is his wish to overthrow the tyrant, after the country’s defeat, , How could he be in any mood to meet the other side's coach, drink Song's celebration wine, and listen to Song's army playing triumphant songs? On the other hand, he is also troubled by personal affairs.He is a smart man, even though he didn't confess to him what the Penglai Witch was thinking, he already knew about it.As for Helian Qingyun's affection for him, after being pointed out by his sister, he already understood.I thought in my heart: "Liu Qingyao and Hua Guhan should be a pair, and I have already promised Hua Guhan to let him win this game, so why bother to get involved? Why make things difficult for Liu Qingyao? Did she speak to me?" But he has been in love with the Penglai Witch for a long time, and now even though he decides to withdraw from the love scene, he still feels a little sad in his heart, and he thought to himself: "Although Qingyun has feelings for me, she is also a heroine among women, but how can I be at this time?" Are you in the mood to talk about your children again?" The country is sad, personal affairs are annoying, Wulin Tianjiao unconsciously feels cold and disheartened, and his thoughts are lost. Not only does he not want to see Yu Yunwen, but even Penglai Witch and Helian Qingyun don't want to see each other again.So he walked quietly without saying a word. Yu Yunwen sighed and said: "It's a pity that such a hero has no chance to meet each other. However, the two countries are still fighting each other. He is a golden man and he is in a difficult situation. There is no need to force him to meet." Huiji nun said: "Second sister, I will go look for him with you." Helian Qingyun blushed, and replied in a low voice: "Yes." Then he said goodbye to everyone.Coral also followed Master. Wulin Tianjiao left without saying goodbye, and the Penglai Witch couldn't help but feel a little sad, secretly wishing Helian Qingyun in her heart, "I hope their brothers and sisters can get married, and there will be no more troubles." As the saying goes, "The defeat of an army is like a mountain falling", which is really true.The Jin Kingdom's million-strong army deployed defenses on the north bank of the Yangtze River, stretching for dozens of miles. Although the navy was destroyed, the loss was not yet 10%.But after Wanyan Liang's death, the news seemed to have wings, and within half a day, it had already spread throughout the army.The army of millions retreated across the board, and the officers directly under them couldn't restrain them. Some soldiers trampled on each other, died wronged, and some took the opportunity to flee and find their own way of life.By evening, there was no trace of the enemy within thirty miles of the coast.In addition to the troops left behind, the Song army on the south bank also crossed the Yangtze River and joined the various rebels on the north bank. While reorganizing the team, Yu Yunwen won the feather book, and asked the imperial court to send troops for reinforcements.One must know that the combined strength of several parts of them is no more than 100,000 people. This amount of troops is not enough if they want to make a large-scale northern expedition and restore the Central Plains. Jin Guo's army retreated fifty miles away, and the position was stabilized a little.Of the millions of troops, half of them were casualties and fleeing, but there were still four or five million left. Before Yu Yunwen's reinforcements arrived, he could only advance gradually.Wanyan Changzhi was quite prestigious in the Jin army, Tan Daoxiong was also a veteran, he was prudent in his affairs, he was unbearable to fight again despite new defeats, so he ordered to stick to it.For six or seven days in a row, the two sides only had some small contacts, but the Song army continued to advance for dozens of miles. A few days later, news came that the Kingdom of Jin had established Wanyan Liang's brother Wanyan Yong (that is, Jin Shizong) as emperor, and sent a reinforcement army of 200,000 people to assist Wanyan Changzhi in an attempt to counterattack.The enemy has news of reinforcements, but Yu Yunwen's request for help has not been reported yet.However, although the reinforcements are in the future, the number of ordinary people who come to join the army is increasing day by day. On this day, the Penglai witch, as the leader of the rebel army, was discussing in Yu Yunwen's account. Everyone was anxious because there was no news of the reinforcements for a long time. Greet the imperial envoy and kneel down to receive the imperial edict. The imperial decree, Yu Yunwen's face turned pale. It turns out that this imperial decree is to immediately withdraw his troops, return to his original state, and still rule the river with the Kingdom of Jin.The imperial decree greatly praised Yu Yunwen, but the order to withdraw troops was very strict, restricting him to withdraw across the Yangtze River within three days. Yu Yunwen said: "Now is the opportunity of a thousand years. How can we retreat when we take this opportunity to restore the Central Plains?" The servant said with a smile: "This is the emperor's will, and most court ministers think it is a wise decision with careful consideration. The general should Obey, don't go alone!" Yu Yunwen said angrily: "Forgive me for my ignorance, but I really didn't understand the Holy Majesty's intention to retreat. I don't know if your lord will tell me, will you forgive me?" The imperial envoy and Yu Yunwen were both Jinshi from the same rank, and they had a personal relationship. He smiled and said: "General Yu, let me tell you the truth, you want to restore the Central Plains and save the people from fire and water, but the emperor is afraid of provoking powerful enemies and just wants to protect you." He is half a mountain. The emperor thinks that your victory in Caishiji is just a fluke. If you are greedy for merit and go deep into the enemy's country, what should you do if the whole army is wiped out? Why not retreat now and use the Yangtze River as a natural moat to protect the country. The Jinlu Marine Division has been destroyed, and after the defeat, it is expected that he will not dare to cross the river to attack me again, at least our situation of partial security can be worry-free." Yu Yunwen said: "Now morale and people's hearts are both available. As long as the imperial court provides large-scale reinforcements and pursues the victory, it is not difficult to go straight to Huanglong! How can we be sure to lose to the enemy? But if the opportunity is missed, there will be no hope of restoring the Central Plains. The situation of partial security can be preserved. For a while, it cannot be kept for a long time!" The imperial envoy said: "You are right, but it is useless to tell me. The emperor limits you to retreat within three days. After you return to the court, you can talk to the emperor again." Yu Yunwen sighed and said nothing more.After seeing off the imperial envoy, the Penglai Witch came out from behind the screen, and Yu Yunwen said with a wry smile, "Have you heard that? This time, you have had a great help from your rebel army, but it is a pity that I have to live up to your expectations." The Penglai witch filled her chest with anger, and said: "General, if we don't want reinforcements from the court, we may not be able to defeat the enemy. In the past few days, the common people have come to join the army, isn't it more and more every day? Looking at the clouds and the flags, the rebels will definitely hear the scenery, they want people, they want food and food!" Yu Yunwen smiled bitterly: "How can I disobey the imperial decree?" The Penglai Witch said: "Yue Shaobao (Fei) can learn from the past, the Marshal is not afraid of repeating the tragedy of 'Storm Pavilion'?" Yu Yunwen said: "Yue Shaobao didn't dare to resist the decree back then, let alone me? Now that there is no Qin Hui in the court, the injustice of Fengbo Pavilion is expected to never happen. Even if there is, I am a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, and I can only obey the emperor's will. How can you try to escape." It must be known that although Yu Yunwen is a famous general with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, he is still a Jinshi of the feudal dynasty after all. Yue Fei cannot break the concept of "loyalty to the emperor", and neither can Yu Yunwen. The Penglai witch knew to persuade him not to turn, so she had to go back and tell the leaders of the rebel army to discuss the future strategy. The imperial decree restricted Yu Yunwen's army to withdraw across the Yangtze River within three days. The date was rushed, and Yu Yunwen had no choice. After sending the imperial envoy away, he ordered the troops to withdraw on the same day. The rebels of the Song Army shared the grief and indignation, and some even wept bitterly and climbed the road.But the retreat is a foregone conclusion, and it is irreversible.Part of the rebel army is willing to cross the river with Yu Yunwen and be his subordinate.The others returned to their original places and still regarded the Penglai Witch as their leader, while Yelu Yuanyi formed his own army and fled into the mountains to continue their plan of restoring the country. The Penglai Witch had a big thing on her mind. After explaining everything, she said, "Daddy, my daughter wants to go to Jiangnan again." Liu Yuanzong smiled slightly and said, "Okay. It's time for you to see Hua Guhan too. But Dad can't accompany you this time." The Penglai Witch told her father the central matter, her face blushed, and she said, "Why doesn't Daddy go?" Liu Yuanzong said: "I have been cut off from the world for twenty years. My old acquaintances thought I was no longer alive. Now that I am a human again, it is time to visit some old friends. After you and Gu Hanyan get back together, you can go to Yang Gushan Guangming Temple is looking for me. The abbot of the temple is my old friend. Even if I am not with him, he will know my whereabouts. Then I will preside over the marriage for you." Liu Yuanzong knew about human feelings and knew that the two of them would meet. There are many children who want to talk privately, and it would be inconvenient for them to go with them. The Penglai Witch's cheeks became even redder, and she said, "Daddy said it too early. Well, Daddy, you can also find my master. He lives in seclusion in Caiwei Village under Shouyang Mountain. It's up to you to decide about Gongsun Qi." Talk to him." Liu Yuanzong said: "I have been friends with your master for a long time. Before the accident in my golden palace, I wanted to meet him. If he knew that you were my daughter, he would be very happy. It's a pity that his unscrupulous son corrupted you. It would be embarrassing for me to bring this news to him because of his family tradition." After the father and daughter discussed it, the Penglai witch crossed the river with Yu Yunwen. On the day when Master Song crossed the river, the leaders of the various rebels and many ordinary people went to the river to see them off.The common people had been looking forward to it for many years before they could see the "Teacher Wang". Now that the "Teacher Wang" had withdrawn to the south and left them under the rule of Jinlu, they fell into dire straits again. Hearing the crying, Yu Yunwen's heart felt as if a knife was piercing him. He sighed a long time, feeling ashamed to face his elders, sighed a long time, and ordered the boat to sail. The Yangtze River was turbulent, and the officers on the same boat pointed to Jiang Xin, happily reminiscing about the naval battle that they wiped out the Kingdom of Jin that day, but the pride of the victory could not conceal their grief and indignation when they retreated south today. Yu Yunwen leaned on the boat and roared alone, and sang Su Dongpo's "Chibi Nostalgia": "The great river goes east, and the waves sweep away all the romantic people of the ages. To the west of the old base, the human way is, the Red Cliff of Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced through the sky, and the waves beat the shore. Thousands of piles of snow are rolled up. The mountains and rivers are picturesque, and there are so many heroes at a time..." Before the lyrics were finished, there were already tears, and the voice was hoarse.His heart is also surging like the Yangtze River, and his thoughts are like tides. The Penglai Witch comforted him and said: "The general has made great achievements in this battle, far surpassing Zhou Lang. He will reorganize the banner in the next year, and there is still a day to cross the river." Yu Yunwen wiped his tears back, and said with a wry smile: "I hope so." But he also knew that under the policy of the imperial court who only wanted peace and hoped for "peace with the army", it was a fluke for him to be able to preserve his reputation after returning to the imperial court. If you want to cross the river and restore the Central Plains, I am afraid that there is no hope in this life. The Penglai witch said: "The Marshal was ordered to be the commander. I wonder if there is any news from General Li in Shandong? I heard that he joined forces with the rebel army of King Yuting of Taihu Lake and won a big victory at sea. He killed the prince and deputy commander of the Kingdom of Jin." Yan Zheng Jianu. How is this team doing now?" The "General Li" mentioned by the Penglai Witch is the old Yangtze River pirate "Tianjianghu" Li Bao. He used to be on the same level as the "Naohaijiao" Fan Tong, and they became brothers and joined together; Go their separate ways.Fan Tong surrendered the gold, and Li Bao returned to the Song Dynasty.Because Li Bao was recruited by Yu Yunwen, he was regarded as Yu Yunwen's subordinate.But he was not formally appointed by the imperial court, and the word "General" was just a casual name for Penglai Witch. The Penglai Witch's inquiring about Li Bao was just an excuse, but she actually wanted to inquire about Xiaoao Qiankun Hua Guhan.Hua Guhan was with Wang Yuting, and participated in the Shandong Sea Battle with Wang Yuting. Wanyan Zheng Jianu was killed by him.The Penglai witch pretended to be Gong'e that day, and overheard these battle reports in Wanyanliang's "golden tent". When Yu Yunwen heard her mention Li Bao, he sighed again and said, "Li Bao has suffered more grievances than me, and I feel ashamed of him when I say it." The Penglai Witch was taken aback, and quickly asked, "What's going on?" Yu Yunwen said: "He was recruited by me. He wanted to be born in the right way and serve the country. I will reward him for breaking the gold soldiers in Shandong and sea, and ask the court to grant him an official position. Who knows the court's decision?" The order, but said that they are water bandits, can not be hired. I think they have made great achievements in defeating the enemy, and they will not be attacked. They are ordered to be dismissed by themselves and return to their hometowns to serve the people. This order was copied twice, and one was given to me as a note from the Ministry of War A copy was given to Liu Kai, the "envoy" who is in charge of all the troops in the Jianghuai River, asking him to monitor Li Bao's troops and implement the instructions of the Ministry of War within a time limit. Now the deadline has passed, and the news has not yet been reported. But Li Bao is deeply Ming Dayi, presumably will not disobey the imperial court's will." The Penglai witch sighed: "The imperial court is so afraid of the rebel army formed by the people. Isn't this self-destructive of the Great Wall? Li Bao is your subordinate, and the imperial court can disband him, but what about Wang Yuting's troops?" Yu Yunwen said: "Wang Yuting is a water bandit in Taihu Lake who has not been recruited, and the court has not explicitly dealt with it. But I think Liu Kai is a person who knows the general situation, and he will not conflict with Wang Yuting. Most likely, they will be dismissed by themselves." The Penglai witch sighed: "It's very easy for the imperial court to issue a dismissal order, but I don't know how many righteous people's hearts have been chilled!" Yu Yunwen said: "Isn't it? But the court's decree has been issued, and we as courtiers have no choice but to wait for the opportunity to persuade us in the future, but it's inconvenient to talk about it ourselves now." The Penglai Witch thought to herself: "I don't know if Hua Guhan and Wang Yuting have returned to Taihu Lake now? I'll go to Taihu Lake to find out. Wang Yuting is the head of the thirteen families in Taihu Lake. Even if Hua Guhan is not there, I should go Visit him." The Penglai Witch made up her mind, and after crossing the river, she bid farewell to Yu Yunwen and went to Taihu Lake alone. The two sides of Taihu Lake are the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. Penglai Witch walked all the way, and saw fields criss-crossing, harbors and branches intertwined, waves and clouds, shallow mountains like Daisy, a water town atmosphere, and charming scenery everywhere.The last time the Penglai Witch came and went to Jiangnan in a hurry, this time she was more leisurely to browse. She is a girl who grew up in the north. It was the first time she saw the scenery of Jiangnan, and she was both happy and worried. The victory of Shiji saved half of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. But the small imperial court only wants to be safe, and I am afraid that one day, it will still be unable to stop Hu Ma from crossing the river and trample this great river and mountains under the iron hoof." She was eager to meet Xiaoao Qiankun, and she didn't stop all the way, passing through Suzhou without staying overnight.Today, I arrived at Mudu, 40 miles east of Suzhou, which is already a lakeside area. At a glance, I can see the vast and misty Taihu Lake. The Penglai witch was full of joy, and whispered softly: "Flicking the sword and singing wildly across Jizhou, throwing red beans in the air is full of joy. Where are the people in the high mountains and flowing water? Chivalry and tenderness always cause sorrow." This is a poem written by Xiaoao Qiankun for her.The Penglai witch thought to herself: "I used to go to Jizhou, but now I'm here to look for you in Taihu Lake. This time, you don't need to throw away your red beans in vain. Chivalry and tenderness may not necessarily be associated with the word 'sorrow'. I can't explain it myself." Yes!" Thinking up to this point, I felt joy in my heart, and my face flushed. Unfortunately, her joy was soon replaced by the astonishment aroused by an extraordinary sight.The closer to Taihu Lake, the fewer people on the road. After traveling for about ten miles, I saw someone harvesting rice in a paddy field. The rice was green and yellow, and it seemed that it had not been fully ripe. The Penglai Witch was quite surprised, and thought: "Why do these people have to harvest in a hurry? Is the rice in the south of the Yangtze River different from the upland rice in the north of the Yangtze River, and can be harvested before it is ripe?" It looks like a family, carrying fishing tools such as fishing nets, harpoons, sails, etc. It is a family of fishermen moving. The Penglai Witch couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Aren't you enjoying fishing in Taihu Lake? Why do you want to move to another place?" Those people were surprised when they saw her. A middle-aged fisherman who seemed to be the head of the family said: "Girl, from your accent, do you think you're an outsider? Where are you going?" The Penglai Witch said: "That's right, I'm originally from the north bank of the Yangtze River. This time Marshal Yu won the battle, and I crossed the river with the army, so as not to be humiliated by the gold captives after the army retreated. There is a distant relative in my family. They were fishing at the foot of Dongting Mountain in the west of Taihu Lake, and the news has been cut off for 20 or 30 years! This time I want to find out, if they are still there, I can have someone to rely on." The fisherman said: "Poor, pitiful. But girl, I can't go to that place!" The Penglai witch said: "Why can't I go?" The fisherman said: "There are water bandits occupying the lake, didn't you hear anyone say it along the way?" The Penglai witch said: "I heard it. But I also heard that these pirates are actually much better than some officers and soldiers. They only rob the rich and don't bully the poor?" The fisherman sighed and said: "Yes, it used to be like this, but it's different now." The Penglai witch said: "Isn't it robbing the rich and helping the poor?" I was robbed first. Fishers have to pay fishing tax, and farmers have to pay land rent. Our family has a fishing boat. During the peak season, we can fish about 100 catties a day. In the off-season, it may be ten days. It is not uncommon to not be able to catch more than a hundred catties. Now the fishing tax to be paid is 300 catties of yellow croakers in ten days converted into silver at the current price, and we really can’t afford to pay, so we have to move.” They were talking at the top of the field, and a farmer who was harvesting in the field said: "The rent of the field is not light! One mu of paddy fields requires three loads of millet. Although the harvest this year is good, one mu of land can harvest at most 500 catties of millet. After paying the rent, how can there be enough to eat? I have no choice but to cut it before it is ripe, and I will harvest what percentage, and run away after cutting it!" The Penglai witch asked in amazement: "Why did their behavior suddenly change?" The fishermen and farmers sighed together: "Who knows? It would be great if it was still the same as before." The Penglai Witch was puzzled, and thought: "I wonder if Wang Yuting has returned? Could it be his unscrupulous subordinates who made things difficult for the common people while he was away?" The fisherman said: "Girl, I advise you to go elsewhere, this Taihu Lake is not easy to go." The Penglai Witch said: "I have come from a long way, and I always have to see my relatives. I am an orphan who is in trouble, and I am not afraid of robbers. I appreciate the kindness of the two of you." As soon as the Penglai Witch turned around, the fisherman let out an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhss Seeing that the Penglai Witch, a young girl, is so bold, I feel suspicious, I'm afraid that the Penglai Witch is the gangster of the water bandits, and if they go back and report their words to the leader, disaster will befall them. Seeing this scene, the Penglai Witch guessed that they had misunderstood, and said to herself, "If I explain it to them, they may not believe it. Let's find out first. Alas, if it is Wang Yuting's subordinates who have acted recklessly and corrupted His reputation, he is really worthless." The Penglai Witch went to the lake and shouted loudly: "Is there a boat?" After a while, a small boat rowed out from among the reeds and said, "Girl, where are you going?" The Penglai Witch looked at him and saw that he was a wretched Zhouzi. Although he was not good looking, his eyes were full.Penglai Witch is a great expert in martial arts, and one can tell that this person has practiced martial arts.The Zhouzi stared at her closely, with some surprise on his face, but he didn't ask her where she came from.The purpose of Penglai Witch's visit here is to meet Wang Yuting, and she originally wanted to take a boat in his village.But the situation had changed at this time, but the Penglai Witch couldn't help hesitating a little bit, thinking: "If Wang Yuting hasn't come back, his subordinates have acted mischievously and dared to bully the people, wouldn't they bully me? Don't want to repeat that incident again. In the middle of the Yangtze River, the fate of being plotted by Mrs. Han San." The boatman shouted: "Girl, please get on the boat!" The Penglai Witch said to herself, "Let's open the skylight with him and talk to him, how about him?" , was hidden under her clothes, at this time she stepped forward, swinging her willow waist lightly, deliberately exposed the scabbard, and said: "I want to go to the West Dongting Mountain in the lake, I wonder if you dare to go?" Dongting Mountain is Wang Yuting's chief rudder. The Zhouzi was startled, then suddenly laughed and said: "Young lady must be the heroine Liu, are you going to meet our village master Wang?" Zhouzi explained the origin of the Penglai witch, which surprised her, and said: " Who are you? Do you know me?" 那舟子道：“我是寨中一个微不足道的小头目，不过因为常在寨主身边伺候，也曾听过柳女侠的大名。柳女侠，你是北方同道的盟主，红花绿叶，都是一家，小的理该参见。” 蓬莱魔女道：“不用多礼。这么说，你们的寨主是已经回来的了？” 那舟子道：“早回来了，昨日还曾提起柳女侠呢。” 蓬莱魔女道：“哦，他与谁说及我了？” 舟子说道：“和笑傲乾坤华谷涵、华大侠！华大侠说柳女侠在虞元帅那儿，虞元帅如今已经撤兵了，不知柳女侠行止如何，很是挂念。寨主叫华大侠多留两天，说是柳女侠多半会上咱们这儿。寨主还吩咐我们特别留神，接柳盟主的大驾。嘿，寨主果然料事如神，昨天说的，今天你老人家就来了。” 蓬莱魔女听他说得如此确凿，不觉喜出望外，再无疑心，暗自想道：“他知道我的事，又说得出笑傲乾坤华谷涵的名字，料想不是假冒王宇庭的亲信了；我不该以貌取人。”这舟子獐头鼠目，蓬莱魔女最初一眼见到他，就有说不出的一种憎厌之感，但如今听说他是王宇庭的亲信，对之已是顿然改了观感。 那舟子恭恭敬敬地说道：“正好顺风，柳女侠请上船吧。”蓬莱魔女一来已无疑心，二来她自从那次在长江遭遇翻船的暗算之后，一有机会，就学驾船和游泳的本领，本领虽不高强，但在风平浪静的湖中，料想也能对付，有恃无恐，遂与那舟子上船。 风送轻舟，疾如奔马，转眼已到湖心，蓬莱魔女站出船头，只见万顷茫茫，水天一色，太湖七十二峰迤逦迎来，有如翡翠屏风，片片飞过。水色山光，烟岚横黛，船行湖上，人在画图中！蓬莱魔女是人蓬喜事精神爽，对此湖山分外欢。心道：“太湖景色，果然是名不虚传！”正在欢喜赞叹，忽地想起一事，不觉又略有所疑。exactly: How about knowing the future?Please listen to the breakdown next time.
