Chapter 441 Han Shizhong wins first and then loses!
Seeing that the Yue family army had returned, Jin Wushu inspected the soldiers, and 30% of them had been injured or killed in 100%. He couldn't help but sigh: "When our army was in Jiankang, we only guarded Yue Fei to intercept my retreat, so we ordered the partial general Wang Quan and others to stay in Guangde and rely on it as a support. Could it be that Wang Quan had failed? Now this road cannot be passed, what should we do?" The soldiers said: "It's better to go back to Huang Tiandang and cross the river to the original route. Han Shizhong suspected that we had left." Jin Wushu pondered for a while before saying: "There is no other way except this strategy." So he took a boat from Longwan and then to Huang Tiandang.
It turned out that since Jin Wushu invaded the south, Yue Fei had led his army to chase Jin soldiers. When he walked to Guangde, he happened to meet Jin general Wang Quan. He fought several times. Wang Quan could not defeat Yue Fei and was captured by Yue Fei alive. There were more than 40 leaders, and they were captured together. Yue Fei beheaded Wang Quan, and the rest killed half of the remaining people and left half. Yue Fei set fire to destroy all the enemy camps and entered the military village. He originally wanted to go south to serve the king, but there was not much food in the army, so it was inconvenient to go on an expedition.
Yue Fei estimated that Jin Wushu could not fight for a long time, and after obtaining the baggage, he always had to retreat back to the original route. So Yue Fei moved to Niutou Mountain and waited for Jin Wushu to come back, preparing to kill him. Jin Wushu suffered a heavy blow and had to retreat to Huang Tiandang. Yue Fei thought that Han Shizhong was guarding the river, and he was carrying an army, which was not suitable for water battles. It would be better to attack Jiankang. When Jiankang recovered, it would not be too late to intercept Jin Wushu, so he led his troops to Jiankang.
Jin Wushu retreated to Huang Tiandang, hoping that Han Shizhong had been lifted and allowed him to cross the river and return north. He finally drove for several miles and was about to leave the mouth. Unexpectedly, there were still warships outside the mouth, and the flags were filled with the words "Han". He couldn't help but scream. The soldiers all said, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. We will fight to kill you so hard. We can always protect Your Highness across the river. Are they not afraid of death?"
Jin Wushu said: "I hope this will happen, and maybe I can still be reborn. Let's take a rest for a night today, raise my strength, and fight out tomorrow." The two armies remained unmoved that night. In the early morning of the next day, the Jin soldiers had a full meal, rubbed their hands and clamored out. The warships outside the mouth were indeed washed away and divided into two paths. The Jin soldiers took advantage of the momentum, but unexpectedly, after a journey, the warships suddenly circled in the whirlpool, one by one, sinking towards the bottom of the river.
It turned out that Han Shizhong knew that Jin Wushu would definitely fight for the road to escape. So he prepared an iron fleeing, pierced the big hook, and handed it over to the heroes in the ship, but when the enemy boat rushed out, he used the iron hook to hold the enemy ship, and every time he pulled it, the ship sank. How could the Jin soldiers know this plan? After drowning, their souls entered the Crystal Palace, but they didn't know how they died. Seeing that the ship in front sank, Jin Wushu hurriedly retreated, and thus saved dozens of ships.
At this moment, Jin Wushu heard that the Jin general Bo Jintai was sent by Talan and led his troops to station in Jiangbei to support Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu saw the Jin flag from afar and his courage increased slightly and asked to meet with Marshal Han. When he answered twice, Jin Wushu still asked to borrow the opportunity, but Han Shizhong certainly refused. Jin Wushu said, "General Han, don't look down on me too much! I always try to cross the river. When the army is reorganized, you will definitely destroy your Song Dynasty people." Han Shizhong did not answer, so he took a bow and arrow from behind to shoot him. Seeing this, Jin Wushu immediately returned to the ship and turned around quickly. Han Shizhong shot an arrow and only shot the tent.
Jin Wushu retreated to Huang Tiandang and said to the generals: "I see that the enemy ship is very large, and it is like flying, almost like riding a horse. What can I do?" The generals said: "The day before yesterday, I was given a reward. Why don't your highness use this method anymore?" Jin Wushu said: "What are you talking about?" So he offered a reward to buy a reward, asking for a plan to defeat Han Shizhong. Sure enough, someone boarded the ship to offer suggestions and said: "You should carry soil in the boat, lay flat plates, dig holes on the boat, and use the paddle boards to drill holes, and wait for the wind to stop. The sea boat cannot move without wind, and you can use rockets to shoot his sail tents, and you will break it without attacking." Jin Wushu was overjoyed and immediately followed the plan.
Han Shizhong happened to be without any precautions, but instead took a boat to watch the moon and drank and talked with his wife. After drinking for several tours, Liang Hongyu suddenly frowned and sighed, "General, don't forget the great enemy because of a small victory in a while. I think Jin Wushu is a famous enemy general. If he escapes, he will take revenge. If the general fails, he will indulge the enemy. Wouldn't it be a crime to turn his merit into a crime?" Han Shizhong shook his head and said, "Mrs. is too heartless. Jin Wushu has gone to death, so what's the matter? When he gets tired of food, he will teach him to teach me." Liang Hongyu said, "The Jiangnan and Jiangbei are all Jin camps, so the general should be careful." Han Shizhong said, "The Jin soldiers in Jiangbei are just army, and they can't cross the river. What's the matter?" After saying that, he took the three-point wine to cheer up, drew his sword and danced, and chanted a poem full of Jianghong:
The Yangtze River cannot be washed away with all its beauty. I talk about the Qin Palace and Han tents, the Yaotai Silver Palace, and the long sword leans against the sky and the mist. The treasure light hangs on the sun and smoke and dust, slaps the sleeves and turns the universe, and the news stops. The dragon and tiger roar, the wind and river cry, and the eternal regret, who says? He is grudged against the mountains and rivers, tears are stained with blood. The Qiang flute is blowing at night in the Bian River, and the phoenix chariot is stepping on the old Liaoyang tent. He breaks the spittoo and asks the toad, what is the roundness?
Seeing that Han Shizhong was already drunk, Liang Hongyu asked him to go back to bed and said to himself, "Tonight, the moonlight is bright and shining like daytime. I guess the enemy dare not attack, but you should be careful. You should prepare a small boat and patrol all night to prevent accidents." The generals obeyed the orders, and Liang Hongyu also returned to the dormitory. Unexpectedly, the Jin soldiers had arranged it, and Jin Wushu killed the animals to sacrifice to the sky. When the moonlight was bright and the wind was calm, they led the crowd to come.
It was already dawn, and Han Shizhong and his wife had already gotten up. They received a report and hurriedly put on military uniforms and armor to prepare to face the enemy. Han Shizhong looked down on Jin Wushu in his heart and did not pay much attention. He just ordered the soldiers of each boat to intercept as usual. Seeing the enemy ships clashing, they were much lighter than before, he felt a little surprised. Suddenly, he heard a bell whistle, and many crossbowmen jumped out of the enemy ship and shot arrows.
The Song army originally wanted to use shields to cover them, but the Jin soldiers shot rockets. Once the sails of all ships were shot, they would quickly burn. At this time, they could not defend themselves and rescue them. There was no wind on the river surface, and all the ships could not move. They saw smoke covering the sky and wanted to escape. Fortunately, the small boats patrolling the river had already gathered. Liang Hongyu hurriedly said to Han Shizhong: "It's urgent, get off the boat and retreat!" Han Shizhong couldn't do it either, so he had to jump off the boat as his wife said. Liang Hongyu twisted his waist and jumped into the center of the boat.
Then dozens of personal soldiers jumped off one after another, you rowed, I rode the boat, and fled to Zhenjiang in a panic. Some of the other generals were burned to death and some drowned, and only a half were able to drive a small boat and escape in a hurry. Jin Wushu won a big victory and crossed the river north safely.
Han Shizhong ran to Zhenjiang, regretful
He was distraught. When the defeated soldiers fled back, he knew that two deputy generals had been killed in battle, one was Sun Shixun and the other was Yan Yun. At this time, Han Shizhong naturally felt more hatred and more depressed. Seeing this, Liang Hongyu comforted him, "It's already like this, and it's useless to regret it." Han Shizhong said, "In recent days, I have received the sage edict and praised me with great strength. Now I suddenly failed. How can I teach me how to submit the memorial?"
Liang Hongyu said, "When I was named the Lady of Anguo, I went to the palace to thank the Queen Mother. I think the Queen Mother was very kind and favored me. Later, the Miao and Liu Rebellion was put down. I went to Jiankang with the general and met him several times, and was extremely favored. Now I heard that the emperor has returned to Yuezhou and plans to go to Qianzhou to welcome the Queen Mother, so I made a secret memorial. On the surface, it seems to be impeaching the general, but in fact it is a request to exempt the general. It is estimated that the Queen Mother will definitely ask the emperor to exempt you from your new crimes if he considers the general's previous achievements."
Han Shizhong was overjoyed and said, "This idea is very good, but I also want to impeach myself." Han Shizhong ordered the clerk to draft two memorials, and the couple personally corrected it, recorded it and sent envoys to take it to the capital. After a few days, an imperial envoy arrived with the imperial edict. The edict said, "Han Shizhong had only 8,000 people, and he refused 100,000 Jin soldiers. He fought for 48 days, and he won several defeats, which was not enough to be a crime. He specially appointed Han Shizhong as the junior guard of the procuratorate, and was also the governor of Wu Chengde to Dezhe to show his advice." Han Shizhong accepted the edict and sent the envoy to the south. The couple comforted each other.
Besides, after Jin Wushu crossed the river, he headed northward to Jiankang. He thought Jiankang was guarded by Jin soldiers, so he slowly came to Jing'an Town. As soon as he arrived at the town, he saw a flag flying from afar, with the word Yue written on it. Jin Wushu was shocked and hurriedly sent an order to retreat. Before the Jin soldiers retreated, there were already a sound of cannons behind him. Yue Fei led a large group of people to fight, which scared Jin Wushu so much that he rode his horse and escaped from Xuanhua Town.
Jin Wushu then collected the remaining soldiers, lost a lot of baggage and many soldiers. Jin Wushu paused and sighed, "I met this Yue Fei the day before yesterday and was defeated by him. Today I met him again, could it be that Jiankang was lost?" As soon as he finished speaking, he received the newspaper of the Lazy Army and said, "Jiankang was taken away by Yue Fei, and all the guards in the past were rescued by Bo Jin Taiyi. Now our army besieged Chuzhou, please take the opportunity to attack!"
Jin Wushu thought for a while and asked the person who came, "Is Chuzhou City easy to attack?" The person who came said, "Chuzhou City is not very strong, but the defender Zhao Li is very capable, so he can't capture it repeatedly." Jin Wushu said, "I want to return to the north as soon as possible and transport the baggage back. If Zhao Li promised to lend us the road, I would not have time to attack him, otherwise I would attack him." So Jin Wushu pretended to write a document, sent an envoy to Chuzhou to submit it, and borrowed it from him.
