Chengdu and Weiyang traveled thousands of miles away.
The Cangjiang River flows swiftly eastward, and the sails go like bird wings.
When the Chu guest crossed this bridge, he looked at him and wept with tears.
"Wan Li Bridge" Tang: Cen Shen
Note: During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, hosted a banquet here to send Fei Yi as an ambassador to Soochow. Fei Yi sighed and said: "The journey of thousands of miles begins with this bridge." The bridge got its name.
—I am the dividing line —
In fact, the southern camp that had just returned to the city of Chengdu all served as the guardian envoy Liu Jurong, and there were only less than five or six hundred people left by his side. Because his previous intention to go to Tang'an City, Shuzhou to regroup and fight again has been completely bankrupt.
When he arrived under the Tangan city of Linzhou Zhitang with the remnants, it was not the soldiers and civilians who were treating him seriously; but after confirming the defeat of the officers and soldiers on the spot, they scattered without hesitation, abandoned their defenses and fled. There was an uproar.
Then he had to continue to retreat to Jinyuan, Qingcheng and other places, but the result was an even more unbearable experience. Those military and civilian generals in the city obviously got the news of the destruction of the southern camp a step earlier, and only left Liu Jurong with the messy empty city.
Therefore, Liu Jurong and his entourage, who saw that being able to defend is not able to defend, to fight and not to fight, could only vent their anger and lament after beating their chests and venting them, then wrapped up some carts and horses and supplies on the spot, and then switched to Chengdu again.
It was just such a delay, the more than 2,000 men and horses he had brought out from Xinjin City, but stopped on the road, and they ran away and lost a lot of them. In the end, those who could follow Liu Jurong to Chengdu Jinguan City were left with these five to six hundred people and nearly a hundred cars of materials collected.
PS: Now that the writer, will I lose sight of it by chance
From this, he also confirmed one thing. After years of troubles, he used to shock the barbarians in the southwestern border, but used all the strength to fight Tubo in the north and Nanzhao in the south. In the past, Cui Anqian, Gao After the last brilliance in Pian's hand, he was no longer there in the disappearance all the way.
"Don't fight in the field, never face it head-on..."
This is Liu Jurong's only judgment and understanding of the situation at this moment;
Because he saw with his own eyes how the Shuzhou Tutuo and the village soldiers who spontaneously gathered and wanted to take the opportunity to occupy the state city were under the blast of the Taiping Pirates' strikers, and they couldn't bear the death and wounded much before they rushed far. The crash collapsed, and the birds and beasts were scattered.
Therefore, the strong bow and large crossbow that are waiting in the Gaocheng stronghold are the only one that can be resisted and resisted, and the last resort and evidence for the Taiping Thieves firearms battle. However, when he rushed into the Ningqiao Gate south of Luocheng in Chengdu with his body covered in wind and dust, he found that no one had come to meet and pay attention to him.
He waited until he rushed to the Jiangqiao Gate of Zi (Inner) City with his stomach full of thoughts. Someone stopped him and questioned him as if he had just awakened from a dream, but it was Zuo Yushi Zhongcheng, Li Shiqi who was patrolling the city. Liu Jun, the grandson of Liu Gongquan, the famous minister of the dynasty, and his newly recruited Jincheng volunteers.
From this, Liu Jurong also learned that Zhang Shouyan, the superintendent of the southern camp who had previously escaped from Xinjin City, had already been punished. This result gave Liu Jurong a bit of comfort and peace of mind. However, when Liu Yun learned that he had brought back less than a thousand soldiers and was not a leader, she lost her voice on the spot and looked at each other in amazement.
It's just that Liu Jurong didn't want to entangle and explain too much with him. After hurriedly assigning and placing the troops and vehicles he brought, he just rushed away, and ignored the ban on rushing horses in Zicheng.
However, when he arrived at the downstairs of Nanzhengmen Pailou where he was walking, and after taking out the official report and sending it up to him to request the Mianjun, he accidentally ate a closed door. Ouchi, on the grounds that the emperor's Eucharist was not in danger, refused his request to report the enemy's situation in front of the emperor, and selected a day for a call.
When Liu Jurong, who was full of anxiety and anxiety, but could not find familiar people to inquire and negotiate, returned to Jiangqiaomen and wanted to inquire about Liu Yun, only to find that Liu Yun and others had disappeared. The temporary settlement has also become a mess.
It turned out that many people were looting the nearly a hundred carts of supplies he brought back. The more than 600 tired and exhausted soldiers present were also unguarded. They were knocked down and overturned many of them when they rushed into the camp, robbing a small half of the military supplies that had been loaded and unloaded on the spot.
However, this was not enough. More people in Luocheng heard the news. This time, the pro-general who stayed behind finally made up their minds. While wearing armor, picking knives and bows, slaughtering and dispersing these insurgents, they called the officers and soldiers nearby. Come to support and respond.
However, after the officers and soldiers in Jiangqiaomen rushed in nearby, they did not hesitate to join the ranks of the looting of supplies after they had dispersed the incompetent people who could not escape. Then naturally, they fought in chaos with the officers and soldiers coming from other directions, and the old Liu family guarding the garrison.
Therefore, what Liu Jurong can see is a mess of dead and wounded and wailing; and he can't even find the person in charge who can negotiate and directly order. Even Liu Jurong, who brought his personal soldiers forward to order and stop, was hit by the side of his helmet by throwing stones at random, and suddenly the blood rushed out and he was in a hurry to help the horseback to faint and pass.
When he woke up, he was still in his mansion. And when he couldn't wait to inquire about the follow-up situation of Sakon's subordinates, he realized that among the six hundred athletes he had brought back with great ease, more than a hundred people were lost in this sudden and inexplicable infighting.
As for the remaining dozens of vehicles and supplies, together with the temporary station that was demolished to the ground, they disappeared without a trace. However, Liu Jurong, who heard the sad news, showed no signs of heartache or furious anger; instead, he calmed down these last subordinates with a wide voice.
And they took out five hundred fine silks from private property to commend and reward them for their dedication to their duties. Then when he tried to get up and look at things again, the edict from Ouchi also came to Liu Jurong's home again.
However, the decree did not mention the riot at Jiangqiaomen at all. Instead, after discussing his failure to defend against the enemy, he was directly appointed as the Nancheng defense envoy, thinking that he would be redeemed for his crimes. For this reason.
However, at this point, Liu Jurong seemed to understand something, but he didn't hesitate to face the direction of the trip and pray to thank God. Then, regardless of the wounded body, he put on his armor again, and took his soldiers to the south of the city to take over his new ministry.
However, when Liu Jurong took over at the Wanli Bridge Gate and inspected the defenders who were mainly new soldiers, he unexpectedly ran into someone who sent a thousand shigumi and two thousand silk cloths by name; only then did I know this. It turned out to be the kindness of Lin Shenhe, the newly appointed deputy envoy and salt and iron ambassador.
This result made Liu Jurong couldn't help faintly feeling a bit old and tearful, and he rose up on the spot, seeing the last moment of this country’s crisis and survival. After all, there are still some loyal people around the emperor and in the court. .
I was even more ashamed to think that I had never looked down on his humble background from a merchant and a local start-up, and how rejected and alienated he was. If it weren't for the fierce warfare, I would like to visit one or two, and sing a story about the peace of the contemporary generals, and show them to those who are lazy.
But in any case, as Liu Jurong’s fire rushed to the south of the city; coupled with the Weirong army envoy Yang Xie who served as the defense formation envoy of the north of the city, the defense formation envoy of the east of the city and the capital Yuhou Li Maozhen of the west of the city, and the defense envoy of the west. Dou Xingshi, the new army general of the Shence Army, was also erected as if he were a pair of clamps for the defense of Chengdu.
Then, just as Liu Jurong began to purge and drill in batches, on the third day of Nanguo's two officers and soldiers; on the wilderness on the southeast bank of Hejiang Pavilion on the outskirts of the city, the Kunpeng Qingqi raised high in the air appeared; accompanied by Jinjiang (also known as On the lower reaches of Funan River, the billowing waves driven by water-wheel vehicles and boats are advancing towards Chengdu.
Amidst the sound of golden drums in and out of the city, Lin Shenhe, who had been working as a temporary "planning" for five days, was ordered to return home like other officials and stay with his wife and children. Waiting for the last moment together, or the arrival of the final destiny.
However, his wife Li, who was in his arms, had an expression of relief and rejoicing that could not hide her face; she enjoyed the rare tenderness and did not speak for a long time. Then Lin Shenhe opened his mouth and said, "But I don't know, is there anything unfinished about the lady in this city..."
Hearing this, Li suddenly burst into tears and turned into a choked voice with a light shoulder shrug: "If this happens, you and I can still get together, and ask Lang Jun to kill someone for me, right? "(End of this chapter)
