The most unlucky crossing in history

When Zhong Qiyun transported "rice grain" from Tongchuan to Shangluo, Zhong Qiyun had already noticed something was wrong.Originally, he thought that Tan Yuanyong wanted to use his hand to quietly transfer the soldiers to Shangluo in order to fight against Wei Hechao's garrison in Xunyang City. , coupled with the cover of the 'refugees' who escaped the flames of war, it is impossible to see the clues, and if someone bothers to investigate, it may be possible to find that Tan Yuanyong transferred the Yanbei soldiers to the south of Jingzhao.

However, Zhong Qiyun, who was the only one who took care of these matters himself, faintly noticed that things were not as expected.

The soldiers have indeed moved a lot, but if you look closely, you will find that these soldiers are either too young or quite old. Although it is not obvious that they have smeared some dirt as boatmen and refugees, Zhong Qiyun also knows that this way These people will not be the elite of the army.

not to mention......

"Frivolous footsteps, weak eyesight, tall stature, but poor martial arts." On the night when he first transported 'rice grain' to Shangluo, Jiang Sicheng seemed to be talking about Zhong Qiyun when there was no one else. When they were around, they just casually talked to Zhong Qiyun like this.

Zhong Qiyun and Jiang Sicheng exchanged glances, nodded slightly before saying: "It seems that Brother Jiang will need some advice from now on."

Jiang Sicheng also understood that Zhong Qiyun saw something wrong, so he didn't mention it any more, just nodded, and followed what he said just now: "If one day I have free time, Jiang will teach Brother Zhong some exercises to strengthen his body. effort."

Zhong Qiyun laughed, "Very good! Then there will be brother Lao Jiang!"

After the Zhong family's caravan went back and forth several times to send all the 'rice grain' to Shangluo, Zhong Qiyun invited Jiang Sicheng to have a long talk with Jiang Sicheng in the attic on the lake.In the distance, only two people can be heard laughing and talking about the wind, talking about the future prosperity of the Zhong family, they are all smiling.

And nearby, occasionally, the two of them would intersperse and say a few words in a low voice: "In this situation, I think Tan Yuanyong didn't really transfer the elite soldiers to Shangluo, and I'm afraid there are other purposes, but no matter what, Such soldiers are absolutely unable to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Xunyang."

Zhong Qiyun drank the warm wine in his glass and nodded.

The two talked about something else, and then Jiang Si Chengcai continued: "I don't know what Tan Yuanyong's plans are, but, Brother Zhong, if we stay here, we won't be able to escape if Xunyang soldiers attack."

. "

Jiang Sicheng was just acting as the head of the Zhong family's martial arts instructor to report to Zhong Qiyun the possible results he expected. As for the choice, it was up to Zhong Qiyun.

Zhong Qiyun let out a deep breath. He didn't know anything about the battlefield, but he still believed Jiang Sicheng's words. If Jiang Sicheng said he couldn't escape, he couldn't escape.

From the current situation, if Wei Hechao really came to fight, they would not be opponents at all, no matter in terms of numbers or abilities, and could only be slaughtered.

In the past few days, he had thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't figure out what Tan Yuanyong's plan was, but there was no doubt that he didn't really want to rely on these soldiers to play a role, then he just wanted to make a show for others to see.

For whom?At this time, who else can allow Tan Yuanyong to work so hard and put all his effort into acting?

Only Wei Hechao.

As for why he did this, Zhong Qiyun still couldn't figure it out, but Zhong Qiyun also understood that if he could figure it out like this, how could he possibly deceive Wei Hechao, who was so successful in the officialdom?

But it was indeed as Jiang Sicheng said, if Wei Hechao really fell for the trick, heavy troops would inevitably be sent to encircle and suppress him, and then Zhong Qiyun would really be unable to fly.

If he was really thinking about his own life, Zhong Qiyun knew very well that the most important thing to do now was to escape quickly.

No matter what Tan Yuanyong's schemes are, he has never been a pawn played by Tan Yuanyong, nor is he willing to work for him.

However, Zhong Qiyun could not.

Because Xie Wenyuan ordered him to listen to Tan Yuanyong.Zhong Qiyun didn't believe in Tan Yuanyong, but he believed in Xie Wenyuan. Although Xie Wenyuan had never had contact with him since that letter, nor had he sent anyone to explain anything to him, since Xie Wenyuan Wenyuan asked him to listen to Tan Yuanyong, Zhong Qiyun thought, Xie Wenyuan probably knew the internal cause, as for why he didn't give him a detailed explanation, I think Wei He had placed a lot of eyeliner there, even in a place not far from him, Zhong Qiyun, There are also some spies who are good at spying in secret, some things will go wrong if they talk too much, it is better not to say, Zhong Qiyun guesses, maybe these soldiers even think that they are secretly blocking Wei Hechao.

Although he didn't know whether Xie Wenyuan was really on Tan Yuanyong's side, Zhong Qiyun had a feeling that Xie Wenyuan was the real planner of this scheme.

In this way, if he flees with a 'guilty heart' at this time, it will inevitably arouse Wei Hechao's suspicion, and then notice that these soldiers who have bothered to transfer here are just some people who can't go to the battlefield.

It's really bad.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qiyun shook his head and said: "I can't leave, don't let a third person know about this matter, ask... Mr. Xie's arrangement is naturally reasonable, if we act rashly, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating."

Xie Wenyuan would definitely not let these tens of thousands of soldiers threaten the imperial city. Although he didn't know what would happen in the end, Zhong Qiyun believed him.

Jiang Sicheng nodded, "In that case, Jiang will arrange inspections as usual."

"Okay, brother Jiang, please be more careful."

"nature."

After this night, but two days later, on the day when Emperor Feng Zheng's funeral ended on the [-]th, before dawn, the officers and soldiers beat drums to announce the enemy's attack.

At the same time, Jiang Sicheng also rushed to report to him immediately: "Wei Hechao dispatched more than [-] officers and soldiers from Xunyang at some point, and Shangluo has been besieged at this moment."

Zhong Qiyun frowned when he heard this, "2 people...now that the city is full of soldiers, there are no more than [-] officers and soldiers. This...Brother Jiang estimates, how long can the officers and soldiers in the city last?"

"Although Shangluo is small, it is backed by dangerous peaks. It is an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack portal. There is also enough food in the city. Even if the officers and soldiers are not skilled in martial arts, if the defense is proper, it is no problem to persist for two or three days."

"Two or three days..." Zhong Qiyun looked at the arrows flying on the city wall not far away, shouting and killing, and the sound of siege, and said, he said to Zhong's parents who were frowning He said: "Since I brought you in, I will protect you and keep you safe and sound. Just feel at ease, and don't go out these few days. However, if the people in the city are in trouble, help them if you can."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then responded: "Listen to the boss's arrangement."

The war lasted for nearly a day, and Zhong Qiyun didn't say a word for a day. He was thinking about various possible situations, thinking about how to ensure that Xie Wenyuan's plan would not be leaked, and he could see the city gate crumbling, and the city wall Above, bursts of cheers suddenly came out.

Even in the city, Zhong Qiyun heard what they were shouting.

General, the Northwest Army is here.

Zhong Qiyun's pupils trembled, he thought of the details of this period of time, and of this chain of planning, and he understood everything in an instant.Even Zhong Qiyun couldn't help feeling his back go numb, and no one thought that Xie Wenyuan tried his best to deal with Wei Hechao, just to let the Northwest army come on horseback.

Such deliberation, such strategizing and decisive victory.

This is Xie Wenyuan.

Thinking of that person's poised look

In this way, Zhong Qiyun couldn't help laughing when he thought of those dark eyes that were not afraid of danger, he suddenly felt that the blood flowed faster, and even his heart beat faster.

No one can compare to the person on the tip of his heart.

At the end of October in the 24th year of Chonghong, the winter wind gradually picked up. On the day when Wei Hechao's party members were wiped out, all the flames of war that had lingered in the imperial city of Jingzhao for nearly a month were finally extinguished.

Wei Hechao committed rebellion, colluded with foreign countries, formed a party for personal gain, killed the king and seized power, and his crimes were rare.Therefore, Xinjun personally ordered that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment try the case himself, and he hooked up with nearly a hundred officials from top to bottom, which is even more distasteful.

The good talks and praises of the Wei He Dynasty that were passed down in the country did not know when they disappeared without a trace. It seems that in a short period of time, the stories of Wei He's government's bribery, selfishness, corruption, corruption and perverting the law spread all over the world.

No one paid attention to how Wei Hechao's decades of honesty and selflessness for the people could be reversed so quickly. Even teahouses, wine shops and other poets in the middle school all talked about it like this: "Hey, it hasn't been many years. Is there a faint rumor before? How can a person like Wei Hechao be as high-minded as the rumors once said, just a hypocrite."

"Yes, do you think he is walking sideways in the Wei family?"

"It's Wei Ping, the failed scholar in Jiangbei City, but because of his relatives, he got the post of Sima? Is this still selfless for the people?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's really hypocrisy."

"That's true for Wang Mang in the current dynasty."

"Collusion with foreign countries, killing the king and seizing power, which one is not a major crime against the nine clans."

"Oh, if I were the emperor, I would definitely not let him live past today."

And so on, innumerable.

If there is a penalty, there must be a reward. Those who have made meritorious service in protecting the emperor this time, those who can be promoted are all promoted to a higher level, and those who cannot be further promoted are also innumerable with gold, silver and jewels.

As for Xie Wenyuan, a great hero who has made great contributions to protecting the country, on the day when the new king succeeds to the throne, he ordered himself to be the prime minister of the dynasty.

But at this moment, Zhong Qiyun was just on his way back to Beijing.

On the day Zhong Qiyun was able to get out of trouble, he rushed to Jingzhao without stopping, but the battle in Jingzhao City had not stopped at that time, and he could not take a step closer. When he was restless, Zhong Qiyun looked at the tall city gate from a distance, and finally he was relieved. , Immediately repair a letter, and order three or five boatmen to guard in Lincheng, and send the letter into the city as soon as there is any danger.

, but he turned and left.

When a war breaks out, all businesses should stop, ordinary people can stop, but those high-ranking households, big merchants and wealthy businessmen cannot stop.For example, the backlog of silk from the Hu family in Hangzhou, the tea ceramics from the Zhou family in Chaozhou, and the urgently needed grain and oil in the north. Zhong Qiyun understands that when others cannot move, it is the moment when the tide of Zhong’s family rises. High...

He could hardly recall how he persuaded himself to leave Jingzhao City and Xie Wenyuan who was in the depths of the war. Although he knew in his heart that Xie Wenyuan would be fine, even so he was still very bored .

Even after running around for more than ten days with great results, Zhong Qiyun's heart never eased.

When he rushed to the city and went straight to Xie Wenyuan's mansion, he was told that Xie Wenyuan hadn't been at the mansion recently. When he asked Steward Cao where he was going and when he would come back, Steward Cao just shook his head.

Zhong Qiyun had no choice but to see himself running around for several days covered in filth, and there were many people coming and going in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they were all politely turned away. It is really not good for him to hang out here or stay in Xie Wenyuan's mansion , thinking that he can only go to his mansion on the west side of Jingzhao.

Zhong Qiyun likes to have a lot of people coming and going in the house, so apart from the necessary guards, there are not many servants in this house.

When Zhong Qiyun arrived at the house, he asked people to prepare hot water and prepare for a good wash, but when he walked to the corridor in the house, he stopped, staring forward with dazed eyes, sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and reading a book people.

The person sitting there seemed to have just realized that he came back, and was startled when he raised his eyes to meet his eyes, but after a while, the person smiled slightly and said: "Brother Yuanren, this house is clean, so Xie can relax. Free for two days."
