At dusk that day, Yue Pengju had already led his people deep into the small town.
Zhang Xian said: "This is the territory Liu Yu just occupied. You need to be careful in everything. The spies have found out that Liu Lin attacked Liu Guang recently and Liu Guang fled. There are signs that the fourth prince Jin Wushu is nearby."
Yue Pengju pondered for a while: "Jin Wushu is a person who likes elegance..."
Zhang Xian immediately understood that this is a famous scenic town called "Red Leaf Town" with a very southern style. Therefore, Liu Lin's army was stationed here. There was a special prefect guarding it. After the fall, the prefect and the prefect were all stationed here. All the troops surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin. Jin Wushu liked the scenery of the Southern Dynasties, and he had many brave troops with strong power, so he would definitely stay here.
There were no clues around. After Yue Pengju determined this place, he decided to take a desperate risk. If he could not catch up with his wife, he would be taken out of the border. After that, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to go to the Kingdom of Jin to save people.
Everyone looked like business travelers. They dismounted in a secluded place, then took a secret path and detoured into the small town. It was already dark, and the sound of firecrackers was very sporadic.
In front is the former prefect's residence, with a big red lantern lighting up in front of the door.
Everyone did not go to the door, but ran behind, which was a lush forest.
In the woods against the high fence, faint sounds of singing and dancing can be heard.
The soldiers are half-dead in front of their horses, and there is singing and dancing under the general's tent. This is the case everywhere.
Yue Pengju made a gesture and jumped up to the wall alone. He saw a watchman passing by carrying a lantern and shouting: "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candle..."
Yue Pengju waited for him to go away. After a while, a servant came in a hurry with food and wine.
Yue Pengju dodged and covered his mouth. The food box in his hand didn't have time to fall to the ground and was pulled into the woods.
Yue Pengju held the door open and asked in a low voice, "Is the Fourth Prince Jin Wushu inside?"
The servant nodded like a fool: "Yes, yes, the villain is here to deliver food and wine for him."
Yue Pengju felt confident, so he stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth, hid it in a hidden place, and turned out of the city.
Under the city wall, everyone was already ready to go. They were powerful troops in black, carrying bright swords and spears.
Yue Pengju nodded, Zhang Xian whistled, and Shi Qi rushed over on a fast horse.
At the door, a fire suddenly burst into flames.
The guarding soldiers were shocked and immediately opened the door and shouted: "Come here, put out the fire..."
As soon as the shouts ended, raging fires were ignited in the northwest and northeast corners at the same time, lighting up almost half of the sky. The person who set the fire used a special ignition material, and today the snow stopped again, and the fires were burning together, and thick smoke was billowing. …
Everyone was in a panic, only to see a group of black-clad horses flying on the left, with swords on their waists, but all they used were long spears. They were attacking and killing, and they were almost invincible...
…
A considerable part of the team led by Liu Lin were Khitan generals. However, all the elite troops were mobilized to the front line to fight Liu Guang's troops, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled to protect the city.
Liu Yu originally defended an isolated city, so he abandoned it and surrendered. Later, by chance, he became the emperor. In the past few years, he ran a lot of money and looted the people's wealth, making the people miserable. Of course, the people under his jurisdiction were eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Now for The newly occupied land was like a strong wind blowing through it. The ruthlessness of the raids was no different from that of the Jin army, and the soldiers inside were even more mixed. Many of them were temporarily captured villagers who had not undergone much systematic training. .
Liu Lin was also a mediocre general, and the prince led the army. When fighting Liu Guang, he was just like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, but he regarded himself as a famous general, and he did not restrain his subordinates.
Therefore, fires were set everywhere in the city and chaos broke out. The general sent people to rescue warehouses and government offices. Later, when the Zhizhou Prefecture itself was on fire, it was discovered that the matter was serious.
Just when everyone was panicking, the troops headed by Yue Pengju had already rushed in to kill the generals. Originally, he sent people to set fire to several key places to attract the attention of the army, but then, he saw fires everywhere in the city. It was obvious that someone else was setting the fire. At this time, no matter which force it was, it would be a good thing for him. He felt happy and went to kill him invincibly.
The old and weak defenders were already vulnerable, but they saw flames rising into the sky, and there were a lot of sounds of gongs, drums, and smoke outside. It was a chaotic mess, and it was unknown how many enemies there were.
In the military camp, as long as one person surrenders first, the others will immediately follow suit. Among the defenders, I don’t know who will retreat first. The remaining people have no intention of resisting, and they will fight and retreat, or even not fight at all. Yue Pengju barely encountered When there was no resistance, they fought all the way to the mansion.
He has found out that Jin Wushu lives in a house specially arranged by Liu Lin, which is the back garden of the Zhizhou Prefecture. These days, he is having fun with singers and dancers.
He led his men to charge all the way. At this time, he had already made up his mind to capture Jin Wushu today no matter what, otherwise, his wife would never have peace.
Jin Wushu himself had a thousand fine cavalry to guard the camp outside the city, but he believed that he was a skilled man and was bold. In addition, he had been fighting for many years, so he knew the nature of the Song army very well, and would never take the initiative to provoke him, especially Liu Guang. After being defeated, there was no decent Song army here, so I was very relieved to indulge in pleasure every day in Zhizhou Mansion, and with the deliberate flattery of a few lovely beauties, I just felt that the happiness here was like a fairy.
He fell in love with Diewu at first and loved him very much, but he felt that Wu'er was even better. However, after two days, he felt that Wu'er was not as clever and flattering as Diewu, and he couldn't say so many flattering words. Soon, he fell in love with Wu'er. She started to feel disgusted, and even OOXX couldn't arouse any interest. Wuer was originally a blockbuster, but she didn't expect to be disliked so quickly, but she was born in a wealthy family, and since she slept with the fourth prince, she had no other choice but to stay in the mansion. But when I thought about following him back to the cold land of the Kingdom of Jin, my heart became cold. Could it be that I would follow this barbarian to pursue the so-called glory and wealth all my life
But here, Diewu was even more proud of herself. She was smart, clever, and good at figuring things out. She always paid attention to observe every move of the fourth prince. Although they didn't get along for a short time, she quickly won the favor of Jin Wushu, and only the next day, she brought him to the throne. Yu Wuer's reward was additionally given to her, and she was given the title of "little concubine" in accordance with the rules of the Song Dynasty.
At that time, there was no such title in the Kingdom of Jin, and Wolf Lord Heci still acted in accordance with Yu Wenxuzhong's teachings. But Jin Wushu knew the rank of women in the Southern Dynasties and knew that he could be crowned king. So it was not just a matter of words to establish a concubine
As soon as he was happy, he said the words of concubine, and Die Wu was naturally overjoyed. He never expected that he would go from a prostitute to a princess in a matter of days. It was such a sudden change of fortune and honor.
Naturally, she did not dare to covet the position of the princess. She only acted coquettishly and indulgently when persuading the fourth prince to drink at night, and asked coquettishly: "If the slave family returns home, how will they meet the princess? Will she like the slave family?"
Her original intention was to find out the temperament of the mistress. After all, she was a foreigner. If she was a shrew, wouldn't she have a hard time
Jin Wushu held up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, seeming to be somewhat sober. Princess, who is your princess
Initially, Yelv Guanyin achieved the actual status of the first lady, but the son she gave birth to was the son of a lowly Khitan soldier.
But no one appreciated the princess he had promised.
He laughed and hugged Die'er drunkenly: "Hey, don't women like to be princesses?"
Diewu was shocked, where is the woman who doesn't want to be a princess? Her mind was spinning, and Jiao Didi asked: "Fourth Prince, the princess is very virtuous and generous, right?"
Jin Wushu said dullly: "I, the prince, will go back and marry my golden girl as my concubine. Alas, only my golden girl is worthy of being my prince's princess."
The fourth prince doesn’t even have a royal concubine
Diewu was so surprised by the news that she couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. However, she observed the fourth prince's words and noticed that the fourth prince's brows were slightly furrowed. In the past two days, even though she was new here, she could also see that the fourth prince would get very angry and moody during carnivals. , guessing that it must be related to the tied woman, although I was extremely curious, I never asked.
I was overjoyed when I got this great news today, but I didn't show any emotion. I just thought, since I don't have a princess yet, do I still have a chance
Because of this, she served the Fourth Prince more diligently, and after finding out some of his hobbies, she became more interested in him. She was the best at dancing, and every time she helped the Fourth Prince pour tea and wine, she would always raise her hands in a dancing posture. , not only Jin Wushu, but also the other singers present were fascinated by it and had to admire it.
Wu'er was unwilling to give in, but although Jin Wushu admired her pipa, Diewu quickly came up with another trick because she could draw.
On this day, the two girls were dressed up in fancy ways. Wu'er played the pipa, while Diewu spread fine paper on the table and painted. What she painted was a rich peony. Although her painting skills were not superb, the flowers were beautiful. Also vivid and full.
Jin Wushu looked at it and said repeatedly: "That's right, that's right. Diewu, you are so versatile. I didn't expect that the people are so hidden, hahaha, beauties are among the people, and talented women are among the people..."
Diewu said angrily, what's so good about such sparse and ordinary paintings? But seeing the Fourth Prince praising her so much, he suddenly realized that he was actually cooperating with her as Die Wu's "accompaniment".
She felt uncomfortable and lowered her head to play the pipa, but Jin Wushu called her with a smile: "Wu'er, come and criticize me..."
Wu'er had to stand up and walked over in a hurry. Fu Yifu just looked at the painting and pretended to praise him. Before he could make any more comments, he heard the guards outside hurried in: "Fourth Prince, no, it's on fire... "
Jin Wushu was slightly drunk and didn't care: "Where is the fire?"
"The granary, the government office, and the residence of the family members in Zhizhou Prefecture were all on fire... The back garden was also on fire..."
Jin Wushu stood up suddenly. With so many important places on fire at the same time, someone must be setting the fire. Could there be a spy in the city? Before attacking Liu Guang, he also ordered Liu Lin to set fire near Liu Guang's military camp. Because Liu Guang did not manage the army strictly, all the granaries were burned down.
Jin Wushu had been marching for many years. Although he was still a little drunk, he immediately said: "Send people to put out the fire immediately, protect the critical areas of the granary first, and capture the spies."
"yes."
He was tipsy and still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, but he had no intention of quarreling with the singer anymore. He immediately walked to the door and prepared to go out to inspect it in person. At this time, Wu Qimai rushed in personally and said loudly: "Fourth Prince, Oh no, a group of people went straight to the Yamen to rush in... "
"how many people?"
"It's hard to see clearly in the dark night, and with the huge smoke and dust outside, I suspect that a large number of people are coming to kill..."
Jin Wushu was shocked: "Who is he?"
"They are all masked, so I can't recognize them. But they must be Song Jun."
Before Wu Qimai finished speaking, everyone could hear the people outside jumping on their backs, as well as the crying of some women and the shouts of children, which turned into a mess. The singer in the room, seeing the presence of the fourth prince, was not confused at first, but suddenly saw the opposite person. The house was already burning, and thick smoke was billowing. Due to the instinct to escape, they no longer cared about it, and everyone started to run away, crying and shouting.
