Volume Four, Chapter 81, Blocking the Storm (11)

The guard team composed of thousands of soldiers ran on the way. The Song Dynasty sent the power of civil and military officials to comfort the whole way, and the status was extremely valuable. Wu Min, who was supposed to be the mainstay of the Hedong Road of the Song Dynasty and protected millions of creatures, not to mention that he was the ruling of the Western Prefecture of the Song Dynasty!

In the time and space without Xiao Yan, this important official in the late Northern Song Dynasty, when the Jurchen invaded the south, Zhao Ji was frightened and prepared to pass the throne to Zhao Huan. When his family visited Jinling for the Supreme Emperor, he made a loyal and brave statement in front of Zhao Ji, saying that he would rather die than obey the imperial edict, how could His Majesty abandon the Divine Capital of Bianliang and leave?

But behind the scenes, he recommended Li Gang, who was in the hope of the world at that time, and then used Li Gang's mouth to say that Zhao Ji would rather pass the throne than to pass the throne, such as the story of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty. In the end, he became even more handsome and participated in the edict of the throne. Zhao Ji asked him to become the minister of the disciple and assisted Zhao Huan. Wu Min said that he was unwilling to take office and wanted to follow Zhao Ji to visit Jinling and avoid the dangerous Bianliang City.

If Bianliang is protected, he would have made a name for his abdication in front of Zhao Huan to support him. It would not be difficult to make a comeback from Jinling. If Bianliang is not protected, what would be difficult to support Zhao Ji in Jinling?

This Wu Min has always been a master of speculation. She has to be a bitch and also set up a arch!

Later, Zhao Huan was rarely smart. He did not allow Zhao Ji to visit Jinling and establish a new court, but instead entered Longde Palace. Because Wu Min succeeded in speculation ahead, he was promoted to the position of the Young Master, and was still an important official.

But he was also trapped in Bianliang. At this time, the archway that His Majesty could not give up on Bianliang was finally pushed by him at the critical moment of life and death. He strongly advocated peace talks with the Jurchens, and went further than other peace talks. The north of the Yellow River must be cut off from the Jurchens!

This behavior finally made everyone in the court unable to bear it and was impeached and resigned from the position. He was resettled in Fuzhou. Such a person saved him from his life! In the end, he had to be used again during the Jianyan period of the Southern Song Dynasty, and died in office.

In this time and space where Xiao Yan was present, he was still speculating all the way. He wandered between the Qingliu Old Party and the Cai Jing party, and finally broke out of Hedong on Xiao Yan's affairs. Xiao Yan was strong and decisively surrendered to Xiao Yan, but at the same time he was still colluding with Cai Jing party. Now Xiao Yan's situation is dangerous, and he gave up Taiyuan Prefecture without hesitation, adding another fire to Xiao Yan's crisis.

The commanding ministers ran all the way. Even if the Taiyuan Prefecture had military and civilians left behind, the morale of the military fell to the bottom. Without a miracle, it would be lost. The battle situation in Hedong could never be restored!

Thousands of soldiers walked faster and faster on the way to the south. I don’t know how many crowded people have crossed the way, and how many desperate cries have aroused. But Wu Min still urged the team to speed up and leave the dead place early!

Xiao Yan crossed the river in the direction of Luoyang Prefecture, Xijing, so he turned to the southeast to cross the river and returned to Bianliang. He returned with the latest development of Hedong's war situation, and maybe he could get the greatest benefit from the changes in the Bianliang Dynasty!

The people of Hedong Road who were supposed to be guarding and protecting him were crying and wailing, but Wu Min just turned a blind eye. Her expression was as iron as iron, just looking to the south.

But after an hour of hard work, the brigade went down twenty or thirty miles in a blink of an eye. Looking around Mengshan in Taiyuan Prefecture, there was a different road. It was open everywhere. At that time, even if Han Shizhong and Yue Fei returned, they sent troops to chase him, they could no longer catch him Wu Min. And that Xiao Yan didn't know where he was at this moment!

When they ran out in the dark, the people rely on their feet to set off first, even if they set out before Wu Min's team, they could not have been able to prepare all the strong animals in Taiyuan Prefecture and all the sturdy carts of comforting envoys?

When we arrived near Demeng Mountain, there were already few people on the road. Many wealthy families were riding in the car because they were unable to avoid the potholes in the road and were broken on the way. There were clusters of people everywhere being surpassed in sequence, and they were weeping beside the road.

Although Wu Min did not fight a banner and ceremonial war, how could the refugees not know that the Song Dynasty officials abandoned Taiyuan and fled? Along the way, there were countless people crying and scolding. I wonder how many people cursed to die with him. But how could such crying and scolding shake Wu Min at all?

I was about to reach the location of the Mengshan Pass, and a shadow of fire lit up in front of me, reflecting the figures of the people running around on the road.

Seeing the large group of people fleeing south, these people also cursed with fingers beside the road.

But this scolding is different from the previous refugees.

"Dog official, wait to die in front of you!"

Such curses rang one after another, and finally came into Wu Min's ears. His face, which had been stiff, finally moved and asked, "Where is General Jiang?"

After a while, Jiang Wei rode his horse to Wu Min, and immediately bowed to salute. The fat and weak general was sweating like a waterfall, so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and his crotch was bleeding. However, Jiang Wei also gave up all his strength and did not care about his hard work. Not only did he protect the safety of Wu Min, the handsome minister, but he also had to restrain the team forward and backward, so that they would not harm the fleeing people too much when they ran south.

Jiang Wei was not a clean official, there were only 17 or 8 concubines, and there were many villages established in Hedong. He usually had 50% of the soldiers he could get to get empty salary. He also organized a caravan to go back to the Khitan, and dared to sell any important military and national weapons such as iron and food. The situation in Hedong was critical, and his family moved to the south of the Yellow River early, and lived in relatives and friends. In addition to the land and land that could not be removed, the official bags accumulated over the years were also transferred, and he never had the courage to live and die with Taiyuan Prefecture.

But he still has the basic ethics of a military general. The soldiers are just something to kill thieves. Even if they don’t have the courage to kill thieves, what’s the point of killing ordinary people?

The Jiang family was in Hedong for three generations, and the local relationship was also heavy. Now he had no choice but to escape from Taiyuan Prefecture. Seeing the thousands of people wandering around, Jiang Wei also felt a little sore in his nose. If he had to rely on murder to open a bloody road, how could he see his ancestors when Jiang Wei died?

Jiang Wei's heart was also weakened when facing the battle in Hedong. In such a dangerous situation, what kind of heroes can stand up as the backbone? Jiang Wei has no ability and courage to fight, and it will only make up for the matter. But he can help to settle order in the rear and transport some materials. He even pays for some compensation from his own home and does not care. If the countryside is not protected, what good life can his family expect in the future?

But even Wu Anfu, who was usually looking at him, left as he said he would leave, and the Zhe family army did not resist at all. How many officials fled when the Jurchens went south? Han and Yue were unable to return to the aid. The army heading north was unknown. What could Jiang Wei do?

Yu Tu had so many thoughts in his mind, and had to restrain the team while riding his horse at night. Jiang Wei, who came to Wu Min, felt exhausted.

Wu Min couldn't even look at the fat Duguan. She waved her chin: "Go and find out, what's going on in the fire at the mountain pass in front?"

Jiang Wei whispered and replied: "The general has already sought the people around the road and asked, saying that there was a dozens of military horses intercepting the fleeing officials in the south, and it was not long before the fire was lit to block the road. The people didn't know what happened again, so they waited here and waited for dawn to talk."

Wu Min snorted and said in a stern manner: "What's the escape south? This is retreating south! Xiao Yan ruined the situation so much. If he didn't make arrangements early, would he let the Jurchen army rush across the Yellow River?"

Jiang Wei quickly apologized: "The comforting statement is......... There are military horses blocking the road ahead. Should I let the brigade take a break? Finally, I will send someone to inquire and figure out the truth before making plans."

Wu Min's tone was even more stern: "Isn't it just a matter of the long-term successor of the Shenwu Changsheng Army? In the midst of the national crisis, we have to set up a tray here to exploit the people from the south to avoid chaos! If you can't rush over with such a man under your command? What's the use of you?"

Wu Min raised her hand and pointed forward firmly: "I am a commander of the Song Dynasty and bears a heavy responsibility, but who dares to stop someone! I delayed my military aircraft, and all of this team must be rectified in front of me! Jiangdu Superintendent. If you miss the general's arrangement of military affairs on the south side of Hedong Road, I also need the law of marching!"

Jiang Wei has an indescribable fear of Wu Min tonight. These big headscarves that are the handsome ministers are all cruel and ruthless!

Without saying anything, he sent his personal guards to pass the order. The brigade, which had slowed down, surged forward again. The brigade soldiers who had taken the opportunity to take a moment and wanted to take a breath could only cheer up again. Everyone was cursing in their hearts.

You are soothing, you are riding horses empty, but under your strict orders, we have to wear armor! Good horses and strong animals are used to pull carts, dragging wealth and comforting staff in the curtain. We rode the bad horses and mules that we found, and there were many people who fell behind on the way, and we didn't see you as you are so eager to reincarnate in the south?

Jiang Wei was closely guarding Wu Min, heading south. The fires flashed at the mountain pass became brighter and brighter. And more and more people could be seen gathering at the mountain pass road.

For some reason, Wu Min's heart was beating faster and faster at this moment. There was always an ominous premonition. With dry mouth and tongue, he was moving forward more and more in the queue, and Jiang Wei could only follow closely.

No matter what, as long as you rush through this place, you will leave the Taiyuan Prefecture, where you died. Wu Min has great potential in her career throughout her life!

Under the fire, before the people gathered together, the scene at the mountain pass road was finally clearly seen for Wu Min!

At the Yamaguchi road, dozens of wooden poles that had not been peeled off had been lifted, and heads were hung on them!

The torches raised in the hands of countless people reflected the distorted faces of these people. They were all officials of the Song Dynasty who had abandoned the city and fled. The Jinshi came from Lou Fan to Taiyuan, and went to the comforting envoy's office to eat some hot soup cakes. They recovered slightly. They also bought a horse with a lot of money. The magistrate of Lou Fan, who continued to flee south, was also among them!

Like dozens of knights standing solemnly under the tree poles, they had never worn armor and came lightly. Everyone's robe was covered with mud and dust. Standing at the mountain pass road, it was like an insurmountable iron wall. The long sword drawn from each person's hand was covered with blood under the fire.

They were the blood of the necks of the Song officials who had abandoned their responsibilities and the people they should have protected, and led to the collapse of the entire Taiyuan Prefecture!

Among dozens of cavalry, one of them stood up. The horse knight was wrapped in a black cloak that looked a little old, thin and upright, with eyebrows like swords. Although he was only thirty years old, his temples were already white as frost. He was looking coldly at the brigade of thousands of soldiers who were desperately fleeing south.

In the firelight, Wu Min and the knight's eyes collided, and they felt that the cold gaze pierced his lungs!

King Yan Xiao Yan!

Why is he here, why is he here? Why is he here!

The endless fear immediately grabbed Wu Min's heart, making his eyes dark, and he almost fell from the horse's back. In a flash, Wu Min reacted.

No matter how Xiao Yan came here, he just wanted to borrow people to calm the hearts of Hedong and save the crisis!

Wu Min suddenly hissed and shouted: "Roar over and kill these bandits who kill the officials of the Song Dynasty indiscriminately! But after this, everyone will reward you with ten cents and move them! Jiangdu Supervisor and Jiangdu Supervisor, kill these bandits. I guarantee you to be the commander of the three yamen! If you don't respond, a certain family will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Wu Min's crazy attitude shocked Jiang Wei. Countless men under his command looked at Jiang Wei. Everyone could see that the people blocking the way in front of him were definitely not thieves, and Wu Min's reaction only showed that these people had an incredible way. What should we do? Jiang Dujian said, "You are talking!"

Jiang Wei stood beside Wu Min. He sweated like rain and his mouth was dry. What was going on?

And in the distance, Xiao Yan looked at Wu Min, who was frantically chaotic, and smiled coldly.

The army was escorting the imperial guards to fight, so naturally they couldn't move quickly. However, after obtaining the urgent military information, they could come by themselves!

When before this huge wave, before this collapsed thief God!

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and roared loudly.

"I am Xiao Yan, the king of Yan! Anyone who abandons the city and fled, but is an official, will be punished without forgiveness! I, Xiao, is here, and this Taiyuan will not fall! But for the soldiers of the Song army, just return with me, Xiao! Countless robes are still fighting bloody in the north. What are your faces to escape south? Even for the people of Hedong Road, you should show some male spirit! I, Xiao, are here. There are dozens of cavalry guards, and they are galloping for eight days and nights, without the energy to fight. It is not difficult for you to step onto Xiao's body and continue to flee south! Xiao, just wait for five breaths here, or follow me to fight for Hedong's elders, or kill me to continue to go south. I will be a coward who abandons my ancestors' tombs and is despised by the villagers for the rest of my life!"

With a loud roar, Xiao Yan raised his right hand high and spread his five fingers open. Without hesitation, he had already bent down one finger!

The knights around him silently thrust their swords and gathered towards Xiao Yan. After five breaths, if this army horse continues to go south, they will guard Xiao Yan until the moment they die in battle!

Countless gazes were concentrated on Xiao Yan.

This is King Yan!

When the sky collapses in Hedong and the earth falls, when all the civil and military officials in Hedong are dispersed and desperately flew south. Only this King of Yan came alone and wanted to take charge of Taiyuan with his own strength and win over this heaven!

Is it a north-spin or a south-spin?

The return of the Northern Zon is a bloody battle with the Jurchen Tatars. I don’t know whether it exists or not.

He fled south and left his ancestors' tomb, which was despised by his elders. After his death, He Yan saw his ancestors, so he could only be a lonely ghost!

Xiao Yan had already bent his second finger.

Jiang Wei's face trembled, thinking of his grandfather who came from Beijing to Hedong. He was still working hard at his age at his seventies. He was busy running around and flattering his father and busy looking down on his family's life and profit.

"But as a military general, your lifelong achievements are in fighting. At the time of Chanyuan, your grandfather fought fiercely with the Khitan Dogzi in front of the formation! The people of Hebei were ruined by the Khitan Dogzi. When we defeated the Khitan Tatars and returned to the army, many people were crying and worshiping. This kind of good deed is enough to protect your generation. Your father is like this. He can't do anything big, and he can't enjoy the Yin skills and blessings accumulated by his son. It depends on you how our Jiang family will be! In short, as a military general, you have to do your duty! If you do anything to ruin the Jiang family's style, it's underground, and your grandfather will not be able to live forever!"

Has this abandonment of hundreds of thousands of creatures wiped out the good deeds of our ancestors and made our ancestors unable to rest assured underground?

Xiao Yan bent down his third finger.

The soldiers were all silent and looked at the King of Yan in front. His thin body seemed to be able to support the dark sky alone under the fire. Wu Min in the team was already trembling at this moment.

Following Wu Min, he would only order and drive them to flee south and some people fall behind. Wu Min never looks back. However, the King of Yan is so respectful, but he can ride forward lightly, so that everyone can only follow his back!

But being a soldier, following a commander is a major event that concerns one's own life. The driving of a soldier as a slave and a commander who stands up in times of crisis are completely different things. Moreover, the King of Yan has managed such a strong army, and many soldiers have followed the King of Yan to soar!

Xiao Yan bent down his fourth finger.

Hedgehogs gathered at the mountain pass, and the dark people who were holding the elderly and the young suddenly burst out with a roar. In the roar, there was the hoarseness of the old man and the sharpness of the woman. It suddenly exploded like thunder!

The people of Hedong were called Zhao people in ancient times. The tragic songs of Yan and Zhao were passed down through the ages. As far away as the Spring and Autumn Period, the people of Zhao worked hard to expel the barbarians who occupied this place. They lived for thousands of years before they found this Hedong land, which was the backbone of the Central Plains!

The roar shook the mountains and fields and echoed in the night sky. Even though thousands of years later, the ancestors of the Zhao people were still energetic!

"You are going to flee south and pass our bodies first!"

Xiao Yan bent down his fifth finger.

Jiang Wei sighed a long time, turned over and took off his horse and took off his bag and fell to the ground: "How dare the general of sin violate the great deeds of the King of Yan? I just want to give the general a chance to wait for the general to achieve merits!"

Thousands of Hedong soldiers turned over and dismounted at the same time, and they were overwhelmed by darkness and bowed their heads and dusted down.

"King Yan, we only ask Bei Xuan! We will do our best to do our best!"

Wu Min closed her eyes in despair, and her whole body shook, like fallen leaves in the wind.

Xiao Yan coldly glanced at the countless soldiers who were lying in front of him, and didn't even look at Wu Min.

"Then follow me to the north!"

The night is still dark, and it seems that the black sky will collapse at any time. But at this moment, countless people in Hedong only feel that between this world, there is always someone who can hold on to this day firmly! (To be continued)
