"The clouds are scattered in the desert, and the pavilions are spring-like -"

Yu Niang's voice is like the sound of nature, without any smoke and smoke, as if it is floating from the sky. Accompanied by the crisp sound of pipa, it lingers between heaven and earth. On the side, Jin Lao'er closed his eyes slightly, pulled the string, and followed the rhythm of the music. Swinging, as if enjoying it very much.

With the singing, the messy yard suddenly became quiet. The leader of the Jin Army who was drinking looked stupidly at the jade girl under the light. Her graceful figure was a bit unreal, like a fairy in the sky.

Zhou Bangyan was a master lyricist in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He was proficient in music and his singing skills were unmatched by others.

Shen Zun supported his father towards the back office. He suddenly heard singing coming from the front yard and suddenly felt a little absent-minded. Suddenly he felt a coldness on his face. When he stretched out his hand, he saw a snowflake falling gently on his palm and slowly melting away. .

"It's snowing -" Shen Zun murmured. He supported his father and walked out of the back door of the Yamen.

Handing his father to Shen Ruchang, Shen Zundao said: "Take good care of my father! If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"

Shen Ruchang hurriedly said yes and helped Shen Chao to deliver the bullock cart that had been prepared.

Watching his father's car leave, Shen Zun stood in the middle of the road for a while. He couldn't see any shadows in the dark night, and then turned around suddenly. He said to the entourage who was following him: "Go to the East City Wall! Whether tonight goes well or not depends on you and me. net worth and life!”

In the cold night, Wei Yang stretched out his hands and felt the snowflakes falling into his palms one by one. There was deathly silence all around, and the coolness falling into his palms gave people a strange feeling. It seemed that in this dark night, only this coolness was accompanying him. .

Cao Yu stretched out his hand and touched the ground, and said to Wei Yang: "The ground is still hot, and the snow will melt when it falls on the ground. The weather is so pitiful that the snow will not fall heavily until we enter the city. In such weather, it is difficult to climb the city in the snow. It’s really not a good thing for our army.”

Wei Yang said: "Don't say it's snowing, it's hailing. As long as there is no problem with the Shen County magistrate in the city, we will capture Lintong tonight!"

Cao Yu nodded and said no more. In the dark night, everything fell silent again.

At this moment, a torch suddenly appeared on the top of the city, slowly drawing several circles in the air.

Wei Yang said to the soldiers: "Light the fire! - Don't have any accidents!"

The people around him lit a prepared torch, swaying in the air like a city.

The torches on the city disappeared. Not long after, they suddenly lit up again and shook violently on the top of the city.

Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Magistrate Shen has asked us to board the city now. Cao Yu, you take a hundred people up the city wall. After you go up, immediately open the east city gate and guard the city gate firmly! Our army is marching in City, the Jin Army is nothing but fish and meat on the case!"

Cao Yu agreed. He took a hundred people who had been selected early and went to the city wall.

The city was quiet. The few Jin soldiers who were guarding the city were all huddled together, warming themselves around the fire. The young men who had been recruited from the city were called by the Jin soldiers from time to time to walk around the city wall. Stomping the ground.

There were no Jin army guards near the east gate of the city, only dozens of men lighting a few fires. In the light of the fire, Shen Zun and his entourage lowered the rope from the city wall. Shen Zun frowned, his face full of anxiety.

Suddenly, a big rope shook. Shen Zun looked at it and was overjoyed: "Here we come, Master Wang has arrived at the city!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed the big rope and shook it vigorously a few times, and then he felt someone was holding him firmly below. In just a breather, a big man climbed up from the rope to the top of the city. Seeing Shen Zun wearing official uniform, he saluted and said: " I’ve met the magistrate in Jindutou, Xia!”

Shen Zundao: "I originally wanted to tie a big basket from above, but I didn't want to climb up by myself. Can Cao Tongzhi be below?"

Jin Dutou said: "Yes. The people in our army have all practiced climbing the city wall. There is no need to use big baskets. To use the basket, you have to drag it up and put it down, which is a waste of time. As long as the magistrate guards this section of the city wall, everything will be fine. All is well.”

After saying that, he looked around. He took out a bamboo whistle from his waist and blew it loudly, like a bird chirping.

Shen Zun knew that this was their military method, so he didn't ask any questions. He ordered his followers to tie the rope securely from above.

After a short time, Cao Yu led the Song troops to climb up one after another. The Song troops were skilled in their movements. Indeed, as Jin Dutou said, they had obviously practiced on daily basis. Their movements were skillful and fast.

Seeing Cao Yu, County Magistrate Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and said, "Commander, I invited the leader of the Jin Army to drink in the county government office. Now is a busy time. The Jin Army on the city head is only fifty. Many people.”

Cao Yu followed what Shen Zun said and looked at the dark city wall. He silently counted the fires and said, "I will take a hundred people to open the city gate, and the others will follow Jin Dutou and kill the golden soldiers on the wall. Remember, don’t let them escape and don’t make too much noise.”

Jin Dutou promised. He called several leaders over and ordered them to take people to several city walls.

Facing the cold wind, taking a deep breath, Cao Yu led a hundred Song troops, and under the guidance of Shen Zun, rushed towards the east gate.

The Jin soldiers guarding the city gate hid in a sheltered place and took a nap. Cao Yu and his men touched their necks from behind, but they did not make much noise. They quietly opened the city gate, and Cao Yu sent people to guard Wengcheng before he sent a message to Wei Yang outside. Signal.

Seeing the large group of Song troops entering the city, Shen Zun hurriedly said to Cao Yu: "The leaders of the one or two hundred Jin army are drinking in the yamen. The commander can send people to surround the yamen so that none of them can escape! There is no leader, and the one or two hundred people are taken away. People, the Jin army outside will be easy to deal with."

Cao Yu discussed it with Wei Yang, made a decisive decision, and led five hundred people straight to the Yamen.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Under the dim light, the snowflakes are fluttering, like butterflies flying. On the stage, Yu Niang is still singing a beautiful song. Next to him, Dad Jin unknowingly raised his feet and his face The people on the stage were in high spirits. Under the stage, the leaders of the Jin Army were drinking happily, chatting and laughing. They were drinking wine, eating meat, and listening to the songs on the stage.

When he arrived at the yamen gate, Shen Zundao said: "The Jin army has gone inside. The people guarding tonight, except for my men, are all young men. They are all subjects of the Song Dynasty. Don't worry, Commander, they will definitely help you. "

Cao Yu took out the flute and played it gently. The sound was sharp and thin, like the sound of a bird, but it was a little different. If you didn't pay special attention to this sound, you wouldn't notice it at all.

One hundred Song troops followed Ling Du to the back gate. Cao Yu also arranged people at the low places of the walls.

Cao Yu looked at Shen Zun, took a deep breath, kicked the door open, and rushed in with a knife in hand.
