I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 131

There was a ferry not far from Chenjia Town, but when the war broke out, it was immediately abandoned.

In the past, most of the business between Yingzhou and the south was carried out here.

Traveling from south to north, the bustle is indeed very lively. In this palm-sized place, there are many restaurants, restaurants, theaters, and teahouses.

There was even a house with two entrances and exits not far from the end of the street. It was not a brothel for people to have fun, but what was it?

You know, this place is only a few dozen miles away from Yingzhou!
It's only a few tens of miles away, but there is such a market. Similarly, it is precisely because it is only a few tens of miles away that when the tens of thousands of Yingzhou people fled, this place was the first thing they thought of.

Some went north, and some went south, and the rest, most of them still wanted to wait and see, after all, their entire wealth was in Yingzhou... Over the years, the Jin people came and the Song people came, and the Song people came to Jin People come again, everyone is actually almost used to it.

No matter who comes, life is going to be lived.

However, although there are many more people in Chenjiaji today, it seems quieter than usual.

Everyone clearly saw that before he escaped, Song Jun had already fled ahead of him...

This is in line with their impression of the Song Dynasty's army. It's not that what Bai Rizhongfeng said didn't work, but the effect may not be as good as he imagined.

They are all people who have survived such a life, and they are all used to seeing people who are separated from each other. No matter how good Yue Shaobao's poems are, everyone has really experienced them. After all, only Liu Kai is the only one.

But it's not completely useless, at least it awakened everyone's desire to survive.

That being said, who doesn't want to live?

In fact, there are people who really don't want to live. For example, the commander of the Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty, who is the brother-in-law of today's son, now wishes to die.

He has already been healed by the doctor called by Mrs. Yan Erniang. They all said that the bones were broken and the tendons were broken, but the doctor said that his tendons were also broken. It is the blessing of the ancestors.

Living like this is really better than dying.

The second lady Yan opened her mouth, and the words became more and more:
"The Song army fled, and Su Hesu led people to chase them... There are a lot of armored soldiers. If they are caught up, it will be really difficult."

She has naturally experienced the days when Liu Kai fought Wanyan Wushu, and she has also seen the power of Tiefutu.

Now the two...and a few others who came with them are hiding together on the upper floor of the shop on the street, and they have a clear view of the outside.This place is so close to Yingzhou City that even the second lady Yan couldn't tell whose relatives the shop owner was, and whose favor these people like herself had.

Having said that, most of the people who were able to hide in Chenjia Town were in the same situation as them. Everyone was familiar with them. When they encountered this messy world, there were quite a few who could save their lives without saying anything. , In the shops along the street, in the folk squares behind the street, I don't know how many people are stuffed.

No matter how mean the owner was, he became generous at this time.

"Another golden man has passed by..." Second Lady Yan frowned, "They are arresting people!"

It is indeed arresting people. Those shops that were still thinking about doing business and did not close their doors suffered this disaster for no reason. But the good thing is that the Jinren did not do everything. They just arrested some people and moved on .

In this way, no one in this market town dares to show up, seeing that it is getting late, even if they want to escape, they will have to wait until tomorrow.

But this night, fear is inevitable.

Zhong Feng knew that the emperor was in Zhang Jun's army, and when he heard Er Niang Yan's words, he cheered up:

"Yes, you can see clearly, how many people have gone?"

"It's densely packed, I'm afraid there are no fewer than ten thousand."

In fact, listening to the movement outside, Zhong Feng had already made a rough guess.

Thinking that he insisted on going his own way, not only did he not do anything to Tuhesu, but he also made himself into this appearance.

It would be fine if it encouraged the people of Yingzhou, but he clearly saw it clearly when he escaped just now.

Everyone is just running away, so there are other thoughts.

If you want to say that the only gain, I am afraid that this loyal widow can speak and preserve her innocence.

Thinking of this, he only felt sad, wishing he could die before that.

There was a dense sound of horseshoes outside again, and before he could ask, Second Lady Yan was a little puzzled and said:
"It's been less than half an hour, why are you back now?"

As she said that, she looked at Zhongfeng again: "Don't be impatient, they are all Jin people, not Song people."

Presumably it was getting late, Jin Bing only chased for a while, thinking that he was speechless before going to see the emperor, thinking of the elders in the family, and Zhong Yu who had entered the palace.

All of a sudden, this kind of command made his mind flustered, and he fell asleep in a daze.

He seemed to have had a dream, dreaming that he was still by the emperor's side, dreaming that he went back with the spies of the Imperial City Department, and did not stay in Yingzhou... For some reason, when he thought of the emperor's The shadow, he felt much more at ease.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside, and there were no lights in the room. Fortunately, the moon outside understood the reason and illuminated the room brightly.

In addition to the few people who came together, there were a few more strangers. He saw that Er Niang Yan was still leaning against the window, looking down at the street below...

It was clear that there was still a lot of noise down there, but she didn't even want to hide!
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, be careful."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that he hadn't drank water for a long time, and his throat was almost stuck together.

Yan Er Niang still didn't turn her head, she almost leaned out of the window, even the wind couldn't see her face clearly, she didn't know what she saw.

The movement on the street was getting louder and louder. Taking advantage of the moonlight, he saw several people crowded together in front of the window on the opposite side of the street, and they all made the same posture as Yan Erniang.

It's a bit weird, but what he cares more about now is what they saw.

Obviously the Jinren had only arrested people before, and they had hidden well before, so why are they so careless now.

He whispered to wake up the elder brother who was snoring beside him, and asked him to help him to the window.

This one rubbed his eyes, and was also taken aback by Yan Erniang's actions:
"Hey! Be careful! Don't attract the golden man!"

While talking, he really showed loyalty, and hugged Zhong Feng to the edge of the window, just about to let him go, but the whole person seemed to be frozen in place.

With no strength in his hands, he subconsciously threw the commander to the ground.

Zhongfeng gritted his teeth, the pain was painful, but at least he was near the window.

Putting his head out, the first thing that caught his eyes was not the people on the street, but a street passing by, a street that was more than a mile long, and all the upstairs windows were full of people, all with their heads stretched out People who came out, but were silent.

When he saw the banners with the characters of 'Shunchang Mansion' and 'Liu' below, he immediately reacted.

Marshal Liu...has arrived?
Then he must have joined the emperor, then, His Majesty should have also arrived here.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little happier.

Just as he was thinking about shouting out, he realized that... by such a coincidence, his emperor's brother-in-law happened to be downstairs.

Loud as a bell:

"Why are you so cowardly? If you make a mistake, you will do it wrong. Let's just admit it! You are so timid, how can you still have the demeanor of Lao Tzu!"

It's okay for Liu Bang to say that, but Liu Kai still sounds a bit uncomfortable.

At the beginning, it was obviously that I didn't want to leave, but you insisted on calling back to Lin'an, and you were promoted and rewarded, so you can't resist the order, right?

It's good now, I listened to your order and let go of this Yingzhou City, the one who is hated by the people is myself, and the one who is blamed by you is myself...

No matter how much Uncle Liu Xin does his duty, it is normal to feel sad at this moment when the two sides are not happy.

What's more, when he came to Chenjia Town, he knew that Yingzhou was not far away... He stayed here last year, the surrounding terrain, mountains and rivers, and the residents' houses. Didn't he know every corner clearly?

In the middle of the market town, at the well under the old locust tree, Wanyan Wushu was also stationed here at that time, and Liu Kai had someone come to poison him.

But the more familiar and understanding he was, the less he dared to face the people of Yingzhou.

It's not that he hasn't inquired about the news here, but what he got, apart from the news that the people who helped him defend the city were liquidated, and many innocent people were implicated in suffering together, he didn't even hear a single good thing.

Liu Kai would not have come if the emperor had not personally summoned him... at least he would not have come until the Jin people were driven north of the Yellow River.

Seeing that the boy became more and more silent, Liu Bang asked directly:

"What a simple matter, just bow your head and admit your mistake!"

"What's the matter? Do you feel wronged?"

Liu Dushi hastily denied it: "Your Majesty, I don't feel wronged."

"It's just, it's just that I really have no face to face the people of Yingzhou!"

He is good in everything, but it is a pity that he is bad because he has been a general for generations in his family. He is a son of a serious family. Besides marching and fighting, he has also read a lot of books.

The more books you read, the more you will inevitably think.

Liu Bang couldn't scold him, so he thought about it and asked again:
"Then I ask you, do you feel ashamed of them?"

The emperor's words... If he was not ashamed, why would he be so coy.

"Ashamed, I am ashamed that I have abandoned them, and I am ashamed to have failed their trust."

"Your Majesty, over the past year, I have woken up from my dreams several times, all wishing to lead the troops here and protect them all."

"To tell you the truth, as soon as you close your eyes, you will often see women and children in the city asking me for their husbands, and asking me for their sons... You really deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

Seeing him getting more and more excited as he talked, Liu Bang patted him on the shoulder:

"Then make an appearance of admitting your mistake, whether they accept it or not, this is what we men should do."

As he spoke, the emperor shouted at the top of his voice:

"Liu Qi is back!"

"Liu Kai is here to apologize to everyone!"

"Liu Kai has returned to Yingzhou!"

Then he yelled a lot, but Liu Qi was stunned by the yelling.

I haven't passed the test in my heart yet, why does Your Majesty just...

Without waiting for his reaction, Liu Bang called the imperial guards around him to come together, and asked Huang Yanjie and Lu Zai to go north and south, calling for everyone to come and shout together.

Just now, he had already inquired, and at least 1 people escaped from Chenjia Town. Although none of them showed up now, Liu Bang knew that they must be able to hear.

Zhang Jun's troops, together with the imperial army he brought, the 1 people brought by Yue Yun, the 3 people brought by Liu Qi, and the more than 2000 captured just now...

Nearly 8 people shouted around Chenjiaji. It may be exaggerated to say that ghosts are crying and howling, but this movement was clearly heard by the Jin soldiers on Yingzhou.

Thinking that the Song people were coming to attack the city, the guards called the two great kings Gaitian and Zhen Guo, and the whole army was on guard, staring in the direction of Chenjia Town.

"Liu Qi is here!"

I don't know how far the four words have been spread. Anyway, Han Chang heard it, and he said in his heart that he was not panic, that was a lie.

Uncle Liu Xin used his soldiers like ghosts, cunning and weird, sinister and vicious.

In addition, Saili said that he saw Yue Yun wielding the double hammer with his own eyes... Han Chang's eyelids kept twitching, thinking about whether or not the fourth prince should send more soldiers over.

The emperor took the lead in shouting for a while, then withdrew to the side.

In his heart, the door is clear, the people in Yingzhou should hate the most, the Jin people should be the first, then himself, and Liu Kai should be the last.

But there is no way, he is the emperor.

I can only let Liu Qi come to top this bag, who will let him be honest.

I don't know how long I yelled, but Liu Bang's ears hurt from hearing it, and everyone was tired, so the voice gradually dropped.

Liu Dushi still stood where he was, lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Liu Bang was annoyed and annoyed when he saw it, why is he so stubborn!

Just as I was about to go up and talk to him, I saw a few figures coming from the other side of the street.

Why, these tens of thousands of people called so many people?
How much resentment do the people of Yingzhou have!

When those people got closer, they were stopped a few steps away from Liu Kai by the imperial guards of the Imperial City Division. Someone among them shouted:
"Is Marshal Liu really here? Is Marshal Liu really here?"

Hearing this voice, Liu Qi suddenly raised his head:

"Cao, Cao Cheng? Is it Cao Cheng?"

As he spoke, he walked forward, and when he got close to those people, Uncle Liu Xin couldn't bear it anymore, tears streaming down his face.

"Is it Marshal Liu?"

"It's me, it's me! Why do you..."

He saw that the man was blind, his right hand was broken from the arm, and he was holding a bamboo stick to explore the way... But this man is not Cao Cheng, who is it!
Originally, I wanted to ask how he became like this, but when I got to the point of my mouth, I remembered that only a golden man can resist such a cruel hand, and I was asking the question knowingly.

"Marshal Liu, you are here, we said you will definitely come back, you will definitely come back!"

Saying this, this man grinned:
"As soon as the news of Qin Hui's death came, I knew you were coming."

"Everyone said that you lied to us, and today just proved that villain's vision is not bad, not bad!"

Then he shouted to both sides: "You all come out! It's really Marshal Liu!"

"Mrs. Chen, didn't you make a bet with me?! Now that Marshal Liu is back, you owe me three catties of wine!"

"Come out, come out, all of you!"

While he was shouting, Liu Kai looked at the man in his early thirties, his eyes seemed to be poured into the whole Qiantang River, and he couldn't stop it.

Although this Cao Cheng has the same name and surname as the Cao Cheng who was a bandit in Hunan back then, they are not the same person.

This one is a blacksmith in the city of Yingzhou, a hero who often says, "He who is responsible for the world, who can give me nothing."

It was also the first one to run and shout when he fought his last battle in Yingzhou last year:

"The golden man bullied me too much, I want to fight the enemy bravely under the command of Marshal Liu!"

Still forged knives and swords for his eight-character army, listened to his orders to poison and release the golden man, and finally joined the death squads to chop off the horse's feet of the Iron Buddha...

After the Battle of Shunchang, Liu Kai wanted to take him into the army, but he said:

"There is no end to the nest, and it is my job to protect the country and the land. The gold soldiers have retreated, and I still have the blacksmith's craft."

Later, when Liu Kai was about to leave, he went to say goodbye to him, and even wanted to take him back to Lin'an.

But he was rejected.

"Marshal Liu has important things to do, but the villain has nothing serious to do. When the golden dog comes again, the villain will have to work hard for his hometown. After all, it will be of some use."

The few people who came with him either had their legs broken or had their tongues cut off, and they were all Xiangyong who helped a lot last year.

How did it become like this, how did it become like this!

Let them greet them, but this Chenjia Town seems to be a cemetery... The cemetery is also better than here, at least you can see the will-o'-the-wisps.

Except for the moon, there is no light to be found here,

Not to mention silhouettes.

Liu Kai hasn't cried like this for many years. Although he is a Confucian general, he is also a soldier, and he has always been considered resolute.

Only today...

He hugged the shouting people, hugged their heads together, and hit his head on it. Everyone didn't think it was anything at first, but hearing him cry so sadly, they were silent at first, and then Finally, I couldn't bear it any longer and started to cry too.

"Marshal...you should have come earlier...many brothers are...dead, why didn't you come earlier!"

Seeing this scene, the guards around him also wiped away their tears.

Even Liu Bang himself couldn't bear to look at it anymore, his eyes wandered around, trying to divert his attention.

Coincidentally, he matched up with the person upstairs.

He squinted his eyes, kicked open the wooden door, and went straight upstairs.

"His Majesty……"

Zhong Feng called out weakly, Liu Bang was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Zhong Feng to be here.

Just saw a pretty woman, the emperor really didn't notice that only half of his head was exposed beside him.

He coughed lightly, concealing his original purpose.

Only then did Liu Bang investigate the situation of Zhongfeng.

And the people below...

How could there be no complaints?
How could there be no complaints!
However, it finally came.

Even if it's late, it's here.

Liu Kai was almost heartbroken. Finally, he took a step back, wiped away the tears on his face, and then...

He knelt down towards several people.

"marshal?"

"marshal!"

Cao Cheng couldn't see it, so he naturally didn't know what happened.

But from the voices of several people, it was also known that Liu Qi had done something extraordinary.

He took out a piece of paper from his chest, turned his head sideways and said:
"The temple built for you in the city is about to be completed. We haven't studied yet. We just asked Mrs. Yan's man to write a couplet. You can see if you can."

As he spoke, he handed over the slip of paper that was already stained with oil, and Liu Kai knelt on the ground and took it with both hands.

By the light of the moon, I can see the above words clearly:
"The iron stupa is very sharp, and it runs rampant in the Central Plains. I am only afraid of my Shunchang banner"

"Golden Wushu is so arrogant that he kicked Jiancheng down. May I ask how big his boots are?"

When Wanyan Wushu was besieging the city before, he only needed to lightly touch the toe of his boot to break the city of Yingzhou.

Liu Kai knocked his head on the ground, and after a while he opened his mouth and said:

"I failed you!"

"But I, Liu Kai, swear here that from now on, I will never disappoint the people of Yingzhou again... Everyone, would you like to give me this chance?"

"Marshal, what are you talking about? If you want to kill the golden dog, we must follow!"

Cao Cheng rubbed his eyes: "Even if we can't see anything now, we still have to open our mouths. When you bring me to the front of the battle, I will definitely scold them so that they will be scared!"

He was still so arrogant, as if he hadn't suffered the indiscriminate disaster that he had already suffered.

Liu Kai took a deep look at them, started from the street again, knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted:
"Liu Qi is here, would you like to give me a chance?"

Then get up, take a step, and repeat the above action.

The dignified commander of the three yamen made such a gesture...

Kowtow one step at a time, never turn back a hundred steps.

I don't know where it started, but the candles upstairs suddenly lit up.

Liu Kai knocked one step at a time, and one of the two rows of rooms lit up.

Like a prairie fire, one by one, all lit up.

By the time he reached the middle of the street, the entire Chenjia Town was already lit up, and the night was completely dispersed.

But he didn't stop his movements, he was still repeating.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Feng was a little worried:

"Officials, is it okay? Don't hurt Marshal Liu's body."

"You are considerate, knowing not to let others hurt your body!"

Liu Bang glared at him, he had already heard the whole story.

This kid is just messing around!
"This is what he owes, how he wants to pay it back is up to you!"

He said this without guilt, it was obvious that Liu Kai was paying off his debts, but he was so confident.

And Zhong Feng already knew the news of Su He's death, so he let the emperor talk at this time, and he was not upset.

Many people in this room were crying, knowing that they had forgiven Liu Kai, Liu Bang felt a lot more relaxed.

He looked at the wind:

"Have you ever heard of Dong Shi imitating? It's the girl who imitated Xi Shi."

Such a commander did not know what the emperor meant: "Of course I have heard of it."

"I've heard, I've heard that you are ashamed to recite poems like Lao Tzu, but you really think that memorizing poems is just a matter of talking? Bah! You are a Dong Shi!"

Zhong Feng was a little embarrassed, and it was indeed a poor imitation.

Liu Bang looked at the illuminated market town and knew that Yingzhou City was already half broken.

Liu Kai finally came, and the people here finally waited for him.

But there are also many people who didn't see him coming, and didn't look forward to him even when they were dying.

……

However, as Liu Dushi said.

This should never happen again.
