Chen Mengsheng has never seen so many wandering souls. Wandering souls are different from ghosts. Wandering souls can appear in the human world at any time of the day, but without souls they cannot enter the six reincarnations and suffer from the pain of wandering. But such a huge number of
The dead man was beheaded by the wizard and turned into a wandering spirit, which is really frightening...
Shangguan Yanran bowed and saluted, "Young girl is not talented. When you were young, you often heard your father mention the reputation of a general. It is said that a general does not like publicity and wealth, but can share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Every time he fights, he always rushes to the front and retreats when facing the battle."
He punished the people severely and showed strict military discipline and loved the people like his own sons. In the early years of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers invaded the south on a large scale. Because of his repeated military exploits, the general was appointed as Yuhou, the capital of the military guard. In the third year of Jianyan, the Jin soldiers attacked Xuzhou, and the governor Wang Fu led the army and people to refuse to defend it.
You, the general, personally supervised the battle. The general was wounded by six arrows, but he became more courageous as he fought. After the city fell, Wang Fu's family died in the war. The general insisted on fighting with the Jin people in street fighting, and was unfortunately knocked unconscious by the Jin soldiers. After he regained consciousness, he killed the guards and entered the city.
After finding Wang Fu's body, he dug earth with his hands and buried it. Afterwards, the general mobilized the villagers to plan to regain Xuzhou. When the Jin soldiers retreated, the general led the remaining soldiers to attack midway, cut off the Jin soldiers' return, and seized a large number of ships, gold and silk, and took the opportunity to regain Xuzhou.
After hearing the report, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty conferred the title of Zhongyi Lang on the general. He was later promoted to Youwu Dafu and the governor of Zhongzhou. The general's great achievements made the little girl admire him. General, you have always been a great hero among the people!"
Zhao Li said calmly and dejectedly: "We can no longer look back on the past. Wanyanchang led his troops to invade our Chuzhou Prefecture. I was named a guard general of Chuzhou Prefecture. I only had three thousand soldiers and less than one storehouse of food. Wanyanchang had countless golden swords and iron horses.
With tens of thousands of people, strong troops and strong horses, I wanted to capture Chuzhou Prefecture in one fell swoop. I ordered the soldiers of the whole state and the men of the common people to go to the top of the city, use their spears to hook the golden soldiers who climbed the city, and fell into the sea of fire. I held on for seven days and seven nights. The soldiers in the city were killed and wounded.
Most of the grain in the granary was consumed by several households. Wanyanchang finally returned without success, and the Chuzhou Prefecture was barely able to save it."
Chen Mengsheng looked at these dense layers of wandering souls, sighed and asked: "The general's bravery actually defeated the Jin invaders with a small victory and a large number. It is indeed a great achievement to save Chuzhou Mansion!"
Zhao Li laughed miserably and said: "Hahaha, what a great achievement! Judge, look at these wandering souls, most of them are ordinary people in Chuzhou Prefecture. After Wan Yanchang retreated, he was still evil and joined forces with Jin Wushu.
More than 100,000 soldiers came back to attack Chuzhou Prefecture. These people are all the unjust souls who were tortured to death..."
"Report..., urgent report from the general outside the city! Wan Yanchang has reunited with the remnants of Jin Wushu's troops and are gathering thirty miles outside the city, intending to launch an attack on our Chuzhou Mansion." The messenger rushed anxiously to the man who was applying medicine.
Zhao Li reported the disaster of another Jin attack.
When Zhao Li was fighting Wan Yanchang on the city wall, he was shot through both cheeks by sharp arrows from Jin soldiers. There were seven or eight arrow wounds all over his body. He finally managed to speak and heard that Wan Yanchang had joined forces with Jin Wu.
The news about Shu's garrison outside the city. After drinking the troops, the doctor turned over and looked at the map on the table. After guarding the city outside Chuzhou for seven days and nights, it was already riddled with holes. Looking at the map, Zhao Li's brows became worried.
With the word Sichuan, Chuzhou Mansion was a north-south barrier between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom. If the Chuzhou Mansion was lost, the Jin people could march straight in. The country of the Song Dynasty was in danger, and the people of the Song Dynasty were in ruins again...
That Jin Wushu was defeated by Yue Fei and was returning north full of grudges. He happened to meet Wanyanchang, the son of Jin Taizu Wanyanmin's uncle Yingge. Both of them were angry after the defeat.
Aiming at the Chuzhou Prefecture. At that time, Wan Yanchang was ordered by Wan Yan Sheng, Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty, to lead 100,000 Jin troops to attack the Song Dynasty for the six tribes and Ludu. Later, he was named Marshal due to his outstanding military achievements. Zuo Jianjun moved to Shandong and Huainan.
The entire Shandong region was defeated. I didn't expect that one Zhao Li would defeat him with thousands of people. Wan Yanchang was so angry that he wished he could eat Zhao Li alive.
Jin Wushu set up camp thirty miles outside Chuzhou Prefecture. He rode a fast horse and Wan Yanchang to inspect Chuzhou Prefecture from a distance. He laughed and said, "How lazy, how can such a small town defeat you?"
Wanyanchang almost choked to death at Jin Wushu's words, but he could not argue that Jin Wushu was a famous official who founded the Kingdom of Jin. It was also the fourth daughter of Taizu Wanyan Aguda whose real name was Wanyan Zongbi, who attacked Shandong
At that time, Wushu of the Jin Dynasty defeated tens of thousands of Song troops and defeated Qingzhou, Linqu and other cities. He was the commander-in-chief of the East Route Army of the Jin Dynasty. Wanyanchang said patiently: "The guard of Chuzhou Prefecture, Zhao Li, is really impressive. Chuzhou Prefecture is not enough."
Hundreds of miles away, there are only a few thousand soldiers, but it was Zhao Li's son who planned to demolish the house, collect wood, and burn our general Jin soldiers. Therefore, he held out for seven days and seven nights, and our army suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat!" Jin Wushu said nothing.
, with a murderous look on his face...
Zhao Li called the quartermaster in Chuzhou Mansion and asked: "How many soldiers are left in the city? How much grain is left in the granary?"
The quartermaster replied in panic: "Report to the general that there are less than 2,000 soldiers left in Chuzhou Mansion, and there are about 30,000 people in the city. The granary is almost exhausted, including the 500 stones of white flour that the emperor rewarded the general.
It’s not enough to sustain the city’s food rations for a month.”
After hearing this, Zhao Li said calmly: "You can go down first and let the deputy general Fang Zi come in to discuss the matter."
Fang Zichou, nicknamed Shaobing, is two years older than Zhao Li and is thirty-nine this year. He is a native of Chuzhou Prefecture. He is brave and skillful in battle and is a rare good general. Fang Zichou entered the room and frowned.
Pointing at the map in front of Zhao Li, he made a few light strokes. Zhao Li smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, I have already thought about Shao Bing's plan. Leading troops to break out and ask for help will probably cost the lives of the soldiers in vain. Jin Wushu
He is cold, cruel, decisive and resolute, and is by no means as easy to deal with as a lazy man. The geography of Chuzhou Prefecture is very important, and the Jin people will definitely try their best to capture it. After Chuzhou Prefecture, going south is the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Song Dynasty.
The dangerous terrain can no longer be defended. Marshal Han Shizhong's war in Taiyuan is tense, and General Yue and his Yue army went to reinforce Marshal Han. The imperial court has no troops to send and can only ask the prefects from various places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to send troops for reinforcements. Chuzhou Prefecture
As long as we can try to delay the Jin people from going south to attack the Song Dynasty, we can allow Marshal Han to defeat the Jin army on the west route."
Fang Zichou sighed: "Chuzhou Prefecture is only a small place and trying to hold back a hundred thousand golden soldiers and cavalry is like a mantis using its arms as a chariot. The most difficult thing is that the food and grass in the city are almost exhausted. If the general does not break out and seek reinforcements, we can only
We are trapped here."
Zhao Li rubbed his eyebrows with his hands and said: "Although I was appointed as the guard general of Chuzhou Prefecture in a critical situation, I will not risk the lives of the soldiers. If God does not bless me, I will only die to repay the emperor's favor.
Well, Shaobing, why don't you lead the people and soldiers to the south."
"Haha, if the general doesn't leave, of course I, the deputy general, will only dance with you. It's better to send the warriors in the army to explore the road south first. If the south road is not blocked by the Jin people, let the people escape.
"Fang Zichou was already prepared to live and die together in Chuzhou Mansion, and said with a calm smile.
That night, Zhao Li and Fang Zichou stood on the high city wall and said loudly to all the soldiers and people in Chuzhou Mansion: "The Jin people are coming back with great force. Now I need five warriors to go out of the city and go south to explore for the people in the city."
A way out. This exploration is of no small importance, it is related to the life and death of thirty thousand people in the city. Whoever is willing to go will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." Zhao Li looked like a giant spirit in the cold wind of early spring.
Thousands of people were holding their breaths and falling silent under the city. Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "Zhang Wei, the left military colonel of Chuzhou Prefecture, is willing to go! The Song Dynasty has been bullied by the Jin people for so many years, and all the family members of the last general are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Chuzhou Prefecture has
If they lose, they will be finished. General, I don’t want any money. A seven-foot man can do something or not. If you are a man, please stand up for me. If the south road is feasible, then the people in the city will be saved. If they are surrounded by Jin people, then
Let's kill the golden dog together!" A tall man stepped forward from the crowd and stood proudly in front of the crowd. The power of example is infinite. The soldiers who had gone through seven days and seven nights of fierce fighting were inspired by Zhang Wei's words.
That bloody thing.
"General, I am also willing to go."
"I am coming too."
"Count me in."……
The soldiers under the city came out one by one, some with wounds on their bodies. But their faces showed a domineering look of death. No one knew whether they would be able to see the rising sun tomorrow, and no one knew whether they would be able to see the rising sun tomorrow.
What hardships will they go through? Walking thirty miles south from Chuzhou Prefecture, you can reach Dutou. From Dutou, you can reach Jiangsu and Zhejiang along the waterway. Once you reach Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you have a way out...
Zhao Li watched his soldiers march out one after another from the top of the city. In the end, there were thousands of them. Zhao Li, a strong man who had never cried when hurt, could not help but burst into tears at this time.
It slid down silently. He drew out his long sword and used the highest etiquette on the battlefield to fencing and sang. "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. When a strong man is gone, he will never come back. Explore the tiger's den and enter the Jiao Palace. Looking up to the sky and exhaling, it will turn into a white rainbow."
..." "Song of Yishui", a song written by Gao Jianli as a farewell to Jing Ke during the Warring States Period, is now sung by Zhao Li. It is extremely tragic and solemn. The soldiers in the city all drew out their swords, flicked the sword spines with their fingers and sang loudly together. The desolate song
The songs merged into a torrent and resounded through the sky, and the morale of the army was like a rainbow. Even if you know that you are going to die, how many times can you live an impassioned life?
After the third watch of the night, there was silence in the Chuzhou Mansion. Tens of thousands of people watched the five selected warriors, carrying water rafts and carrying letters asking for reinforcements, standing upright in the vast ink. Zhao Li personally poured wine for the warriors.
After serving the farewell wine to enhance their spirits, the silver in the tray in the quartermaster's hand became the most worthless thing. None of the five people took a look, and after drinking the wine, the earthenware bowl broke into eight pieces. Zhao Lidui
The five of them knelt on one leg and said: "Zhao Li was deeply favored by the emperor and swore to live and die with the Chuzhou Prefecture. I leave it to you to find a way south and seek help. The Song Dynasty will not be destroyed if you are there! I will wait for your triumphant return in the city.
!”
The five people were also deeply moved by Zhao Li and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to accept the order. Zhang Wei, the left military commander of Chuzhou Prefecture, knelt and said: "We can have a good time whether we live or die here, but the general is guarding Chuzhou Prefecture.
It is much more difficult than us, so please take care of yourself, General. If we are lucky enough to find the south road, we will send out fireworks to let the people escape. If we are unfortunate enough to die, we will also protect Chuzhou Prefecture from being destroyed by Jiuquan.
Destroyed by the golden man!"
Zhao Li stood up and said to everyone: "Brothers, have a good trip! Where is Fang Zichou? Open the side door to send the warriors out!" Fang Zichou, the deputy general of Chuzhou Prefecture, clenched his hands into fists and waved them vigorously. The soldiers guarding the door opened the side door and walked all the way out.
Watching the five warriors leave the city and disappear into the night...
