Chapter 60: After the Fact


When the sky was bright, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the street, as if someone was screaming and running.

Hearing this, a man in a house immediately lit a torch.

"Sir."

A woman cried and hugged his arm.

The man was wearing an official robe with an official hat and a wat board in his waist, and he was dressed uprightly, and his expression was extremely majestic, as if he was going to the Hajj.

But at this time he was surrounded by firewood, and in addition to him and the woman, there were four children in the circle of the pyre, a boy and three girls, the eldest was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one was still wrapped in swaddling clothes, and the four children were also huddled together, the older sensible one knew what was going to happen, and his expression turned pale, and the younger two were still sucking their fingers, as if they thought it was a fun game and giggling.

"Sir."

The woman knelt down and cried uncontrollably, "Is it true that the children have no way to survive when they are young?"

"Madame, don't be confused."

The man said solemnly, "The Jin people have besieged the city for so long, and the losses are huge, you don't know the temperament of the Jin people, I know very well, after they enter the city, they will inevitably retaliate and slaughter the city, rather than being killed by them, it is better for us to kill ourselves first, and we have to be decent." ” There was another pause.

"Even if the Jin people don't slaughter the city, as an official of the imperial court, I will never surrender to the Jin people, and I would rather die for the country."

He looked at the weeping woman.

"Juan Niang, the people of the dead city are better pigs and dogs, rather than you being abused by the Jin people, it is better to go clean and decent first."

The woman wept and wiped away her tears.

"Yes, sir."

She cried, "We're going together as a family. ” As she spoke, she snatched the torch from the man's hand and was about to throw it at the pyre, when the door was suddenly slammed open.

The man looked to see the servants he had dismissed.

"Master, master, you can't burn it."

The servants stumbled in, looking crazy, "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming, and the Jin people are retreating." ” The news was so shocking that the woman slipped her hand and fell to the ground with a torch.

Oil was poured on the pyre, dripping and flowing, and there was a sudden boom of gas.

The woman screamed in fright, the man hurriedly stepped forward and stamped on two feet, and the servants rushed over to help, and the courtyard fell into chaos.

Fortunately, the fire was not big and was quickly trampled on, and the man's description was a little embarrassed, but he didn't care about tidying up his demeanor.

"Reinforcements are coming," he asked urgently.

The servants nodded excitedly.

"I came last night, and I attacked the Jin people when I was defending the city."

"The Jin people have all retreated to meet the battle, and this morning the Jin people retreated, and they came."

"The gates are being opened, and everyone is running to see them."

The servants were babbling, and the man was a little dizzy when he heard it.

"Where did the reinforcements come from?"

but in the end, he immediately asked the most crucial question.

"It's the Aoyama Army."

The servants said in unison.

Hearing this, the eyes of the Qingshan Army officials lit up.

If it is the Qingshan Army, then the capital is really worry-free.

"How many people came," he asked hurriedly.

Hearing this, the servants glanced at each other.

"It seems like there are thousands of people."

They said.

Thousands of people The official's face darkened suddenly.

There are tens of thousands of Jin soldiers.

What can these thousands of people do, even if they force the Jin soldiers to retreat for a while, the Jin soldiers will inevitably attack again.

He sighed and looked at the pyre in the yard.

"Don't withdraw yet, just stay and see."

He said.

At this time, most of the people in the city did not go as far as the officials thought, and the threat of the destruction of the city made them almost desperate, and at this time, the soldiers and horses retreated, even if it was only a temporary settlement, they were willing to enjoy the ecstasy.

The city gate was crowded with people who had rushed to see the hero who had come down from the sky to save them.

It's just that the heroes in front of him seem to be a little different from what they imagined.

Looking at the pale and bloodless soldiers in front of them, their bodies trembling and their teeth trembling, the people didn't know how to react for a while.

"The brave people may be tired," one citizen took the initiative to explain.

Yes, it must have been very hard to fight in the middle of the night, and they were all wounded, which shows the tragic and difficult battle.

The people nodded their heads.

"Jin Bing has retreated" A soldier asked suddenly, looking at the people in front of him, his expression seemed to be a little dazed.

Look, the tired are confused, and the people sigh in their hearts.

"yes, you're already in town."

They hurriedly spoke, and were just about to say a few more words of compliment and thanks, when they saw a soldier crying.

"It's horrible."

He shouted.

Several of the other soldiers also sat on the ground and wept as if they had exhausted their strength.

"It's horrible, it's horrible."

They hugged their heads and cried repeatedly.

The crowd was dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

"Yes, yes."

Some people were a little clever and stammered, "It's quite scary, although the brave are not afraid to kill the enemy, but they will be afraid in the end." ” Yes, this is also the truth, the people nodded one after another, although some were different from what they imagined, but in the end, it was these soldiers who saved them, everyone comforted and comforted them, poured tea and water, and shouted to the doctors to come to help.

The doctors did not rest, they were all busy treating, the wounded were brought in, and the dead were restrained.

The walls of the city are also being rearranged, with horses rolling wood and stones, and children running around collecting bows and arrows.

The city gate was busy, but unlike the previous despair, the atmosphere was as agitated as when he first faced the Jinren.

Ning Yan and the others recruited the Qingshan Army generals for questioning.

Li Guorui had already met the emperor once, but it was the first time he had met so many court officials, although the court officials in front of him were all disgraced, but it was also difficult for him to see in the past.

Li Guorui introduced himself excitedly and with a little pride.

"Lord Li" An official was slightly surprised, and looked behind him, "Didn't you say that it was Miss Zhao who was in charge of the Qingshan Army?"

Li Guorui was suddenly a little deflated.

Speaking of which, he is one of the best commanders in the Qingshan Army, but in fact, it is only because he is a man, and it is Miss Zhao who is really in charge of affairs who has no way to arrange an official position.

Miss Zhao, she usually has the final say in everything, but he does all the trivial things such as entertainment, paperwork, etc.

But this also shows that Miss Zhao trusts him.

Li Guorui became proud again, and automatically ignored that he couldn't do anything he didn't trust in the Qingshan Army.

"Miss Zhao has gone to see her family."

He said, with a bit of solemnity, "It's good for adults to ask me anything." ” "Sister" Zhao Hanqing shouted loudly and jumped in front of Miss Jun in one step.

Miss Jun raised her hand and stroked her head, straightened the scattered hair down, and wiped the blood on her face.

The smile on Zhao Hanqing's face became even stronger.

Fang Jinxiu on the side pursed her lips, and King Huai couldn't help but take a step forward and stick to the other side of Miss Jun.

"Miss Jun, is this Miss Zhao?"

he asked.

Miss Jun withdrew her hand and nodded to him with a smile.

"This is my sister, Zhao Hanqing."

She said.

Zhao Hanqing looked at King Huai, and King Huai also looked at her.

"Miss Zhao has worked hard."

King Huai spoke first.

Zhao Hanqing sighed, bowed to King Huai, and although he didn't speak, his posture was upright.

This is a good teaching by Xiao Niangzi, and it is also a good learning by Khan Qing, Miss Jun looked at Zhao Hanqing with a smile, both civil and military, and is a child that any parent is proud of and wants to have.

When Master knows this, he will be happy and gratified.

The atmosphere here is warm, but the atmosphere on Li Guorui's side is a little heavy.

"So, most of the people can't make it for the time being," an official asked, looking nervous.

Li Guorui nodded, without the slightest concealment.

"The Jin people are temporarily retiring, and we took the opportunity to rush over."

He said, "The sentry found out that the Jin people had set up camp in Shimenpo. ” Shimenpo is not far from the capital.

You can make a comeback at any time.

"What are you afraid of?"

Ning Yan opened his mouth and said, "We were able to defend the city before, but now we have another batch of reinforcements, are we still afraid that they will not succeed?"

That's right, what are you afraid of When you come, you just have to fight again.

The atmosphere in the hall became agitated.

The capital entered a state of readiness again, but after waiting for three or four days, the Jin people did not come, and only the sentinels of both sides contacted and fought a few times in the field.

Whether it's an attack or a retreat "Offense, of course."

Yu Chi Hai Muran said, "Although the Qingshan Army broke through, they were also seriously injured. ” Several golden generals in the camp looked hesitant, thinking of the tragic battle that night.

"Why haven't our reinforcements arrived yet," a Jin general said suddenly.

"It should be almost there."

Another Jin general said, "The Great Emperor has gathered an army of 100,000, and Qinghe Bo of the North is fighting with an army of 50,000, and he will definitely not be able to stop it." ” These words made several golden generals show joy.

"Well, it might as well wait," they said.

Yu Chihai on the side smiled sarcastically and angrily.

"Maybe we won't have a chance if we wait any longer."

He said.

As soon as his words fell, a loud bang was heard, followed by a shaking of the ground and a tumult outside.

"What's wrong," shouted the golden generals and rushed out.

The camp was in turmoil.

"Zhou Bing called."

"It's the Qingshan Army here."

Sure enough, did you come to attack the camp but there is nothing to be afraid of with thousands of soldiers and horses, and General Jin was about to give the order to meet the battle, but he saw a burst of smoke rising from the sky, and the ground shook again.

"No, the Aoyama Army is here with a row of artillery trucks."

The golden soldiers shouted loudly, looking terrified.

The Aoyama Army marching on artillery wagons The golden generals' faces suddenly turned pale, and Yu Chihai stood outside the camp tent and closed his eyes.

"There's no chance."

He muttered.

Looking at the fireworks and feeling the terrifying shaking of the ground, the people of the city wall of the capital cheered, and this time there was no more worry.

The 30,000 troops of the Qingshan Army gathered in the capital, and the Jin army retreated like a tide, and the news soon spread.

"The siege was really lifted" The emperor of Taihu Lake also knew about it for the first time.

Lu Yunqi responded.

"Yes, yes, the 40,000 golden soldiers were scattered and fled in disarray."

Yuan Bao added, as always, showing that he knew more news.

The Emperor smiled reassuringly.

"Not bad, not bad."

He said, and then frowned again, "Then, I have to rush back as soon as possible to appease the people." ” The meaning of his words was understood by all three people present.

What the emperor asked was, how to win the hearts of the people and appease the people "Your Majesty."

Ning Yunzhao took a step forward and said with a sincere expression, "Your Majesty has punished yourself for the crime and the Emperor's Mausoleum, and now that the Jin soldiers have retreated, please return to the court as soon as possible." ” Self-punishment of the Emperor's Mausoleum, good idea The emperor's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ning Yunzhao with an approving smile.

And Lu Yunqi on the side glanced at Ning Yunzhao with a blank expression
