Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 35 The Warm-hearted Shi Congyun

In June, the hot summer day ushered in torrential rains for days.

The sound of the waves in the mountains seems to be able to separate the heaven and the earth.

The June rains have washed away the scorching heat in the air, which is refreshing.The troubles it brings are also a headache.

In such heavy rain, the Liao army did not dare to advance, and the Zhou army could not attack the city.The armor and tents were all wet, and it was difficult to light a fire to dry them. Many people could only cover their bodies to dry them. The soldiers living in the military tents could not sleep peacefully during the day and night, and it became difficult to light a fire and cook food.

The roads were muddy, flash floods broke out, and the transportation of food and grass for the army also became a big problem. Many roads were washed away, and many bridges needed to be rebuilt by logging on the spot.The surface of the hard road is smooth, and when you step on it, it's like being smeared with oil. If you are a little careful, you will be injured and even killed.The road is wide and wide, but at most, he is injured in a fall. In the valleys of mountains and rivers, if he is not careful, he will fall into the bottom of the valley and die.

In the past few days, eight civilian husbands have been killed, and Li Gu, the right servant who organized the guarantee of food for the army, was devastated.

Fortunately, after the rain and the weather, the official order to withdraw the troops was issued.

Since we are going to withdraw our troops and do not attack Taiyuan, Xinzhou will not be able to keep it.

When I heard that the troops were withdrawing, some people panicked. What if the Northern Han and Liao countries pursued them?
No one was afraid of being cut off, so the generals in Xinzhou rushed south on the first day they received the official's order.

Without the strong strategic fulcrum of Taiyuan, Xinzhou could not be defended, nor could the surrounding prefectures and counties occupied, so they could only give up.

As Xinzhou goes south, the road is muddy and south, and there are occasional road conflicts on the road, and quarrels and fights occur from time to time.

But as long as they saw Shi Yanchao's flag, everyone avoided it.

Afterwards, the army converged under the city of Taiyuan, and the sky was clear. On the same day, except for the food brought by the army, everything was burnt down. The fire outside the city was blazing into the sky, and the smoke billowed all day long.

Most of these grains were collected on the spot from the prefectures and counties in Hedong, and now the army cannot take it with them if they want to withdraw.

Shi Congyun took Wang Qiu back and found a small donkey for her to ride.Finally, I asked her if she would like to go south. The little girl just nodded and didn't dare to speak.

Shi Congyun then decided for her: "Then you can go south with me, then you will serve Zhao Shijian, and Zhao Shijian will serve me."

Although a bit doll
The next day, the entire army began to withdraw to the south, all the prefectures and counties occupied by the Zhou army were abandoned, and some officials accompanied their families.

Shi Congyun followed his father and was the first to withdraw.

The retreat process was rushed, and many places were poorly arranged. Except for the broken troops, other arrangements were a bit messy, and the scheduling was chaotic. The troops did not have accurate orders, and they were afraid that the Liao army would pursue them. In the vast land, many state and county avenues and trails are chaotic Zhou Jun.

The daring soldiers are about to go home with the idea of ​​grabbing it and taking the risk. From time to time, uncontrollable chaotic troops loot the people, which cannot be stopped at all.

They had only traveled for dozens of miles, and within half a day, they encountered many conflicts between the two armies.

However, when they saw Shi Yanchao's banner, they immediately gave way, and no one dared to touch the bad head of the first warrior of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Shi Yanchao's subordinates are much better.

Shi Yanchao was very strict in governing the army and was well-known in the army. Like his name, he was able to defeat the Khitan soldiers repeatedly at the beginning because of strict military discipline.

In addition, Shi Yanchao's troops took the lead in defeating the enemy in the Battle of Gaoping, and defeated the Liao's forward in the Battle of Xinkou. They made outstanding military exploits and received many rewards.

Guang Shi had a camp in Yunyun, and he had to pull five carts of property, cloth, money and silk, but for the time being there was no share.

The day before the departure, he had already sent Wang Zhong to bring more than ten people to the south to gather the brothers who had stayed in various villages and towns to recover.

On the third day, when he saw that he was about to reach Zezhou and someone blocked his way in front of him, Shi Congyun originally thought that there was a conflict between the soldiers of the two armies.

When he brought Shao Ji and many brothers to step forward to "persuader" them to give way, he found that it was not the rioters blocking the road, but a large vehicle.

Because of the heavy rain, the roads were muddy, and there were so many chariots and horses that the road was almost turned into a quagmire.

A young official in a cyan official uniform next to him looked anxious.

Seeing someone detouring from the side, I hurried forward and asked, "This general, can you ask the sergeants to do me a favor?"

But no one paid any attention to him, and they all hurried to the south, and a few even spit at the ground, or laughed a few words and walked away.

He tried to call the soldiers for help, but no one listened to him.

At this time, everyone wanted to run faster, and the Liao soldiers behind him might come after him at some point.

If he wears a red robe, a knowledgeable general might really help him.

After seeing the situation clearly, Shi Congyun was also hesitating, and he was also afraid that the Liao soldiers would come after him.

At this time, the Zhou army would definitely not be able to stop the effective blocking. He did not know who would break it, whether it was reliable or not, and it was uncertain whether the Liao army would pursue anyone.Shi Congyun interjected: "Now your life is at stake, why do you care about this car."

The official glanced at him without being annoyed, and cupped his hands: "This little general doesn't know something, and he is enshrining the official Pan Mei. These things are used by officials and should not be discarded at will.

This is where the responsibility lies. If this little general is willing to help, I am very grateful! "

Shi Congyun said impatiently: "The official family has long gone south, and the official family doesn't care, why should you hold on to it, now life is at stake, and if you don't leave the Khitan people may chase after them, don't say these things then , you can't even save your life."

I slandered in my heart, looking at this official's young age, how can he only be less than [-] years old, how can he be a sycophant!It is estimated that the official family has arrived in Luzhou, do you care about these things?

Just as he was shaking his head and preparing to walk away, he suddenly turned around and said, "Your name is Pan Mei?"

The official in Tsing Yi nodded, and said a little unhappily: "It's right here, the little general doesn't want to help, just leave, don't talk coldly here!"

Shi Congyun didn't care about his attitude, and quickly asked, "What were you doing during the Gaoping War?"

Pan Mei was stunned for a moment. She probably didn't understand why the topic was changing so quickly, so she said casually: "Xiaguan was ordered by the official family, and Yu Jiangzhu led to block the enemy.

"That's right!"

"what?"

"No, nothing!" Shi Congyun shook his head, then jumped off his horse: "Don't say anything, Pan Mei, right? Everyone is comrades-in-arms and brothers. I'll help you out!"

After saying hello, Shao Ji and others who were a little dumbfounded, "What are you looking at, get off and help!"

"Oh" Everyone looked at each other, inexplicably, but they still obeyed the order to dismount to help push the cart.

Even Pan Mei, who was standing next to him, was a little surprised, and then she felt that this little general was the most righteous and forthright person he had ever seen. He only heard that he also participated in the Battle of Gaoping, and immediately decided to help.

In fact, when it comes to the battle in Gaoping, he is ashamed. At that time, the officials had insight into the opportunities, and just started the battle, they felt that if the Northern Han was defeated, they might flee to the Jiangzhuling area in the northwest.

He was given a thousand elite soldiers of the forbidden army, and asked him to join forces with Li Yanchong, the governor of Zezhou, and waited for the enemy near Jiangzhuling in advance. After the defeat, the thieves took the lead; but Li Yanchong fled in fear of the battle, and he had to hold on. , let go of the soldiers who fled the Northern Han Dynasty.

Pan Mei blamed herself very much in her heart, but fortunately, the officials thought that Li Yanchong was to blame and did not blame him.

In his heart, he already felt sorry for the official family, so as a consecrated official, he did not want to fail the official family again, and discarded the official family's royal utensils on the battlefield.

In fact, he was almost in despair. If he hadn't encountered this righteous and enthusiastic general, he would have to live up to the grace again and flee south alone.
