I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 191 City Father
On the eighth day of March, Chengfu County.

This place is only more than 50 miles away from Bozhou City, and this place is also the place that Zhao Mi and Yang Yizhong have visited the most since they attacked Bozhou for more than half a year.

It is said to be a county town, but in fact it has been abandoned a lot. Not to mention the many gaps in the city wall, there is not a single good brick on all four sides of the city... This is enough to show the fierce fighting here.

The year before last, Zhang Jun and Wang De joined forces here to take Bo. Although the Jin people later repented and took back the land promised to Song Dynasty, the Zhao officials hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat, which made Zhang Jun miss the opportunity to enter Kaifeng, but In any case, when we got here, we got to the bank of the vortex, and what we drank was the water from Bianjing City.

When you get here, it is real, you have arrived in the Central Plains.

Liu Bang looked at the city, and behind him was an army of 12, a real army of [-], not only those brought by Han Chang, but also people from Yang Yizhong and Zhao Mi, as well as soldiers from Zhang Taiwei. And the men and horses he brought from the Imperial City Division... To be precise, there are [-] and [-] riders. Along the Huaihe River, there is no other army that is stronger than it, and no army has more morale than it. more expensive.

Because they are the teachers of the emperor, and their coach is the current emperor.

But at this moment, the emperor rode on the horse again, together with them.

While pulling the reins, he moved his eyes to the slowly flowing Wohe River, and the city was in front of Chengfu County. Compared with so many people, the city looked so weak and lonely at this time However, he remembered that when he was in Yingzhou, Wanyan Wushu said that he could knock down the city of Yingzhou with one foot. To be honest, this is what he feels when he looks at the father of the city now.

It's not that our old Liu has never fought a battle of wealth, and more people have also commanded it, but at that time it was a completely different feeling from now... This is the confidence brought to him by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. The number of people wearing armor, the elite weapons used, and the double stirrups, the divine arm bow, and the heavy armored paper armor cannon that he thought were geniuses, he couldn't think of any other way can lose.

At this time, everyone was very excited, especially Xin Ciying, since this is the first time he has traveled north to such a far place since Nandu, if the emperor didn't like him reciting poems, our daily life would be equal There are a hundred and eighty poems to express his feelings, even though he endured and endured, he finally couldn't hold back, and said:

"The vortex water connects with the Yellow River at the top and connects with the Huai River at the bottom. Since ancient times, sailors have used it to enter the Huai River from the north to the south. I don’t know how many people have suffered so much, they came here today, and seeing this scene, isn’t it just a sign that the Song Dynasty will be prosperous, the country will be rectified, and the sun and the moon will be clear!”

It was already early March at this time, and everywhere was full of vitality. There were many fields on both sides of the bank, and many crops planted at this time had already sprouted seedlings, green seedlings, and red flowers. , and the birds singing in the sky.

All of this is indeed a picture scroll.

Naturally, it would have been nice if there weren't so many Qiu Ba. This group of people stretched for tens of miles, inserted in this picture scroll, it was much more abrupt.

Xin Ci was excited, but who was not excited here? Many southerners had never been to the north, and many northerners were young when they went south, so they couldn't remember so many things, but everyone knows that along the way Keep walking along this river, and you will arrive at Zhuxian Town and Kaifeng City. The river is endless, but at the other end of it is our capital city. The capital is gone.

All the generals around him were more or less intoxicated and thoughtful, and the knife was about to be used, so Liu Bang cleared his throat, preparing to make everyone's emotions more violent, and they would be excited for a while, but his stomach There are only so many things, so I thought about reading "Manjianghong" again, and I was afraid that everyone would laugh at him for only one trick. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered a certain poem he heard from Lu Zai. Up to here, it is quite appropriate.

So he cleared his throat and came out as if he was about to speak. Sure enough, when they heard the emperor's voice, they all came back to their senses, and saw what orders Zhao Guanjia had.

"The war is about to start. I saw this great river and mountain, and my heart was very restless. I thought that such a good place would be taken by the golden man. I am useless and sad."

"Now I'm going to recite the first words to express the depression in my heart, and I have to write them down carefully."

This was Xin Ciying's job in the first place, and Zhao Guanjia didn't need to say much, so he took out the pen and ink that he carried with him, and looked at the emperor with great anticipation.

After all, the father of the city was won in a short while, what the emperor said at this time will naturally be taken care of by future generations, he will be heroic in this battle, he will be heroic in this battle, and sad in this battle, even if he said something like compassion Come on, it can also reflect the benevolence and righteousness of our army master.

At first I thought that the officials didn't like these scenes, but I never thought that he would bring it up by himself, which saved Xin Ciying a lot of effort. On the eighth day of March, the father of breaking the city' is too dry to describe it, and it does not meet the appetite of Xin Ciying's scholars.

The more romantic the better, and the more legendary the better, he put all his expectations in his eyes, and fired extremely hot enthusiasm towards Zhao Guan's family.

Liu Bang got goosebumps when he saw it.

"Please read the official, I will definitely remember it verbatim."

Gently nodding his head, Liu Bang only said a word, and then everyone around him fell off their horses in shock... Except Zhang Taiwei, who didn't know a single word, even Guo Yaoshi and Han Chang The other looked at him suspiciously.

What he read was: "In the past 40 years, the family and the country have covered mountains and rivers for three thousand miles."

This word... is very good, it can even be said to be very good, and it is very suitable for the emperor to express it here, but this word should not be pronounced by him, not even by Song people.

But Liu Bang didn't notice it at all, he finally got into the mood, and saw that the vanguard had already reached the city father's feet, and he handed over the city father's defenders without any effort, so he waved his big hand to signal Everyone stop.

There are already enough people. In a place as big as the palm of the father of the city, even if there are more than a hundred thousand people, they will not be able to use it. The 3 to [-] thousand people who are going at this time are already enough.

"Fengge, Longlou, Lianxiaohan, and Yushu Qiongzhi make tobacco, how many times have you ever known how to fight?"

Xin Ciying finally recovered his breath and looked at Zhao Guan's family hesitantly, but was asked by the emperor:
"Why are you so dazed? Haven't you written it down yet?"

"If you neglect your own duties, hehe, I will betroth you to the old princess, and ask her to pay more dowry, so that it can be used as military salary!"

This is not the first time the officials have said this, not to mention that the old princess is dozens of years older than himself, but Xin Ciying himself, how dare he have any thoughts about the mistress of the Qian family.

And if it really happened, the emperor didn't know how many generations he had offended, Xin Ciying, a young man in his fifties, naturally didn't want to.So even though the emperor told him to sacrifice his appearance several times, he always pretended not to hear it, but he also knew that according to the emperor's temper, he could really do such a thing.

At this time, he was threatened again, and he didn't know how panicked he was, so he quickly grabbed a pen and paper and started to record it. Seeing him like this, Liu Bang nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, the sound of war drums in front, and the sound of fighting and mourning from the other side could be heard again. Liu Bang watched for a while, saw that the ladder had been erected, and felt a little more secure in his heart, so he continued:
"Once you become a subject, you will sink your waist and wear your temples."

No... He looked at Zhao Mi with some doubts:
"The father of the city serves as a barrier in Bozhou, and Li Qiong actually sent so many people to guard it? If that's the case, shouldn't you two have taken this place down long ago?"

Zhao Dushi looked at the soldiers on the city wall... At first, he didn't think there was anything, but when he looked carefully, he saw that the number of them became less and less as they stood back. There were only three or four rows standing on a city wall. There were only a few people in the last row.

He replied: "Responding to your majesty, the father of the city is close to Bozhou and far from Suzhou. Even if it is occupied, it will divide the troops of the ministers and others. Therefore, we can't take the words of Bozhou. Taking the father of the city is actually of no benefit to the ministers and others." What good."

On the one hand, I also feel strange: "But every time I come here, it is a very difficult bone to crack, but this time..."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Mi came up with an answer:

"I think it's because Thief Li knew that the officials were coming with an army. The army was so powerful that it couldn't be stopped, and the city father's city defense was weak, so he didn't want to sacrifice the lives of the generals here in vain. In this way, it saved us a lot. Less strength."

This statement is reasonable, and there is a high possibility that it is what Zhao Mi speculated. Anyway, the father of the city will be taken down, and it is a good thing to lose less troops after all.

"Then tell the siege soldiers about this and let them work harder. We will kill pigs and drink wine when we enter the city."

Zhao Du envoy took the order, and ordered others to pass on the message. After this interruption, Liu Bang almost forgot what he was going to do. If it wasn't for Zhang Taiwei's earnest expression, he said:
"The official's literary talent is extraordinary, this poem is really exquisite. Today, I put up my face and asked His Majesty for a calligraphy of this poem, take it back and frame it at home, so that the boys in the family can study hard .”

This flattery is pretty good, although I didn't write this thing myself, but it's not appropriate to explain it at this time, in case other people don't know, maybe they all think it was written by me.

"It's the most hasty resignation day from the temple. The Jiaofang still plays the farewell song and weeps to the maid."

"it is good!"

As soon as the emperor's words fell, Zhang Taiwei was the first to slap his hands. A good sad poem breaking the country was interpreted by the two monarchs and ministers as if it were some kind of festive speech.

Xin Ci sighed and sighed, not daring to disturb the emperor's temper at this time, but thought that this was clearly written by Li Yu after the Zhao family took his country, but now it is used by the descendants of the Zhao family in their own I don't know if Empress Li knows that he should be happy that Da Song has fallen to this point, or should he be sad that even if he dies, he will have to be scooped up by the Zhao family.

The soldiers attacking the city in front had already received the news from here, and it was obvious that there was another wave of momentum, and the shouts of killing were even louder than before, but within the time of a cup of tea, someone had already climbed onto the wall, People started to fight, and the city gate was not strong at all, and it was knocked out under the power of the battering ram. From this point of view, it took only one or two sticks of incense at most, and the city father would be able to take it down smoothly. up.

This year, I won the battle. Although it is a crushing victory, it is undoubtedly a good start. Once the city of Bozhou is broken, Guide Mansion will be nothing more than a lonely city. The road to Kaifeng can be said to be nothing else hinder.

According to the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, this speed is already very fast, but according to Liu Bang's own intention, it is still a bit slower. If it weren't for the messy things in Lin'an City, I am afraid that he is already going to Bianjing now. on the way.

Even so, the news from Han Shizhong was often harassed by the inexplicable navy, and the other side did not attack directly, like a fly, which made the old man vomit blood so angry, but he heard the emperor speculate that it was The ship from Goryeo made him vent all his anger on the Goryeo people, and hunted down the Goryeo people in the Huaidong area, and killed them without mercy.

Judging from the time, the envoy he sent to Xixia should be arriving soon. Once the Xia people are stabilized, there will be no other variables in this war, and the outcome will be determined.

Thinking of this, Liu Bang turned over and got off his horse. Everyone followed the emperor's appearance and jumped off the horse one after another. Seeing Zhao Guan's family walking straight towards Weishui, they didn't dare to neglect the slightest, and followed him one by one. behind.

"The official family..."

Liu Bang waved his hand, but everyone couldn't see his expression clearly, they just heard him say:

"Since we have arrived at the father of the city, the people of the imperial city department will find out where the opening of the army transport path is as soon as possible. One more day of delay will lead to one more day of change, which will not help the war."

Zhong Lei agreed. A few days ago, he had started to ask people to do it, but until now, the person he sent out has not heard back, and he doesn't know if he is dead or not. turn up.

Now that the father of the city is broken, there is no other obstacle between Song Jun and Bozhou. If this matter fails, it will be his fault.

"It's still the old rule. Don't disturb the people. Those who are willing to surrender should also save their lives."

I don't know who gave this order, but everyone agreed in unison, but as soon as the words fell, Huang Yanjie ran over in a panic.

"The official family..."

Liu Bang didn't turn his head back: "What's the matter?"

The old eunuch hesitated, he knew the emperor's temperament too well, and after thinking about it, he said:
"The father of the city is already broken."

It was faster than expected, Liu Bang said with a smile:
"Good thing."

But soon, Huang Yanjie's words made him unable to laugh.

"There isn't a single Li thief soldier in the city."

"Huh? That's..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he thought of something, turned around and looked at Huang Yanjie, frowning tightly.

The old eunuch didn't dare to look back, and said to himself:

"It's all common people, all the common people of our Great Song Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, several generals present all looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to think for a while.

The emperor was also obviously stunned, but soon, he quickly got on his horse and rode the horse directly towards the father of the city.

The speed is fast, which shows that Zhao Guan's family is anxious at this time.
