Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 391 Snow

"The morning clouds are deserted and the silk is light, and the pavilions are light and springy--"

Yuniang's voice was like the sound of nature, without any smoke, as if it came from outside the sky.Accompanied by the crisp sound of the pipa, it lingers between heaven and earth.Elder Jin on one side closed his eyes slightly, pulled the string, and swayed with the melody, 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 at Yuniang under the light stupidly, her graceful figure was a little unreal, like a fairy in the sky.

Zhou Bangyan was a great poet and composer in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He was proficient in rhythm, and his singing was unmatched by others.

Shen Zun helped his father to the back office, and suddenly heard singing from the front yard, and suddenly lost his mind.Suddenly, I felt a coolness on my face, and as soon as I stretched out my hand, I saw a snowflake gently falling on the palm of my hand, slowly melting away.

"It's snowing—" Shen Zun murmured.Supporting his father, he walked out of the back door of the yamen.

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

Shen Ruchang hastily said yes.Helping Shen Chao to deliver the bullock cart that had already been prepared.

Watching his father's car leave, Shen Zun stood in the middle of the road for a while.He couldn't see the shadow in the dark night, so he turned around abruptly.He said to the followers who followed him: "Go to the east city wall! Whether tonight goes well or not is related to the lives of all of you and me!"

In the cold night, Wei Yang stretched out his hand, feeling the snowflakes falling into his palm one by one.There was a dead silence around, and the coolness that fell into the palm gave people a strange feeling.It seems that in this dark night, only this coolness is accompanying me.

Cao Yu touched the ground with his hand, and said to Wei Yang, "The air is still hot, and the snow will melt when it hits the ground. God is sorry, the snow will not fall until we enter the city. In this weather, it is difficult to climb the city in the snow. It's really not good for our army."

Wei Yang said: "Don't say it's snowing, it's hail. As long as there is no problem in Shenzhi County in the city, Lintong will be captured tonight!"

Cao Yu nodded and did not speak further.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 it up!——Don't be surprised!"

The people around lit a prepared torch, and it shook in the air like a city.

The torches in the city disappeared.After a while, it suddenly lit up again, shaking violently on the top of the city.

Wei Yang let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, Shenzhi County let us climb the city now. Cao Yu, you lead 100 people to the city wall. After going up, immediately open the east city gate, and firmly guard the city gate! Our army enters the city , Jin Jun is the fish on the case!"

Cao Yu agreed.Take the 100 people who have been selected a long time ago and touch the city wall.

It was very quiet in the city.The few defenders of the city huddled together and warmed up around the fire.Ding Zhuang, who was conscripted in the city, was called up by the golden soldiers to walk around the city wall from time to time.They all kept their eyes on each other and stomped their feet non-stop.

Near the east gate of the city, there were no Jin army guards, only dozens of young men lit a few piles of fire.In the light of the fire, Shen Zun led his followers and lowered the big rope from the city wall.Shen Zun frowned, anxious.

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

After finishing speaking, he went forward and grabbed the big rope and shook it vigorously a few times, feeling that someone was holding him firmly.In just a short breath, a big man climbed up to the top of the city from the rope.Seeing that Shen Zun was wearing an official uniform, he saluted and said, "I'm at the capital of Jin. I've seen the county magistrate!"

Shen Zundao: "I wanted to tie a big basket down from the top, but I didn't want to climb up by myself. Can Cao Tongzhi be at the bottom?"

Jin Du nodded and said: "Yes. People in our army have practiced climbing the city walls. There is no need to use big baskets. It is a waste of time to drag up and put down the baskets. As long as the county magistrate guards this section of the city wall, everything will be fine. All good."

After speaking, I looked around.He took out a bamboo whistle from his waist and blew it violently, like a bird chirping.

Shen Zun knew that this was their military method, so he didn't ask too much.He ordered his followers to fasten the rope firmly from above.

Not long after, Cao Yu and Song Jun climbed up one after another.Song Jun's movements are proficient, as Jin Dutou said, he has obviously practiced on weekdays.Skillful and fast.

Seeing Cao Yu, the magistrate Shen took a sigh of relief.He stepped forward and said, "Controlling, the leader of the Jin army was invited by me to drink in the county government office. Now is the time for excitement. There are only more than 50 Jin soldiers on the top of the city."

According to what Shen Zun said, Cao Yu looked at the dark city wall.Silently counting the fires, he said: "I will take 100 people to open the city gate, and the others will follow Jin Dutou and finish off the golden soldiers on the city wall. Remember, don't let them escape back, and don't make too much noise. loud."

Jin Du nodded his promise.He called several leaders over and told them to take their men to several city walls.

Facing the cold wind, Cao Yu took a deep breath, led a hundred Song soldiers, and under the guidance of Shen Zun's followers, rushed towards the east gate.

The golden soldiers guarding the city gate hid in a place sheltered from the wind and took a nap. Cao Yu led someone to touch his neck from behind, but there was not much movement.After quietly opening the city gate, Cao Yu sent someone to guard the Wengcheng before sending a signal to Wei Yang outside.

Seeing the Song army entering the city, Shen Zun hurriedly said to Cao Yu: "The leaders of the 200 or [-] Jin troops are drinking in the yamen. The commander can send people to surround the yamen so that none of them can get away! There is no leader in the group, and the [-] people have been cleaned up. , the Jin army outside will be easy to deal with."

After discussing with Wei Yang, Cao Yu made a decisive decision and led 500 people straight to the Yamen.

The snow is falling more and more.Under the dim light, the snowflakes fluttered like butterflies.On the stage, Yuniang still sang beautiful songs.Father Jin next to him unknowingly turned his feet up, his face brightened.Under the stage, all the leaders of the Jin Army drank happily, talking and laughing.Drinking wine, eating meat, listening to the songs on the stage.

When he arrived at the gate of the yamen, Shen Zun said: "The Jin army has all gone inside. The guards tonight, except for me, are all Ding Zhuang. They are all citizens of the Song Dynasty. Don't worry about the control, and will definitely help you."

Cao Yu took out the flute on his body and played it softly.The sound was sharp and thin, like the sound of a bird, but it was a little different.If you don't pay special attention to this sound, you won't notice it at all.

A hundred Song soldiers followed Ling Dutou to the back door.Cao Yu also arranged people in 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 his hand.

"It's hard to ask when we meet each other. Daimei once printed the spring shirt seal—" the singing voice came out, and when Shen Zun heard it, his heart was suddenly pulled away.Leaning softly on the big willow tree next to him, he looked up at the sky.No stars, no moon, only snowflakes flying all over the sky.
