Before leaving, Nianhan looked at the man on the wall of Yecheng. He didn't know what the expression was on his face. His right hand was holding the handle of the sword at his waist under the cloak, and the veins were bulging, as if he was about to pull the sword out of its sheath at any time.
The army slowly withdrew. Nian Han said nothing, while Zhao Huan on the city wall looked in his direction and said nothing. The two just looked at each other from afar.
Gao Qingyi was not left behind because Nianhan knew that it didn't matter whether he stayed or not.
Just when the Jin army was about to leave completely, Nianhan, who was already preparing to stay away from Yecheng, suddenly turned his horse's head and ran towards Yecheng.
"Drive! Drive!"
The whip hit the war horse, making him go even faster. Gao Qingyi and others immediately rushed over and followed Nianhan after seeing it.
More soldiers and horses wanted to turn their horses' heads, but Nianhan stopped them.
"If you continue to retreat, a certain family will go and say a few words to that guy and then leave!" Nianhan asked everyone to go back, but Gao Qingyi and other close friends were not willing to be so obedient. Although they were far away from him, they still followed him firmly. behind him.
Zhao Huan, who was on the city wall, also saw this scene and saw Nianhan who was about to rush to the gate of Yecheng.
Emperor Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty suddenly felt excited in his heart.
"Open the city gate, I want to go down!"
As soon as this statement came out, many generals and commanders around him were all surprised.
"His Majesty...."
"Don't say anything anymore, I'm just talking to this guy!"
This sentence made the generals somewhat silent, and then looking at Zhao Huan who was determined, Yao Pingzhong and others could not say anything more. In the end, two generals, Yao Pingzhong and Han Chang, personally escorted Zhao Huan away.
Under Ye City, Nian Han couldn't help but laugh when he saw the city gate opening and Zhao Huan slowly walking out.
"What a courage!" With a sigh of praise, Nian Han stopped many restless generals. Zhao Huan on the other side also stopped Yao Pingzhong and others from charging, and walked not far away from Nian Han.
"Your Excellency is not bad. From this distance, my General Han Chang can kill you with one arrow!"
Zhao Huan chuckled, looking at the sunken eyes, sallow complexion, and dull white hair in front of Nihan, showing a smile.
At this time, Nianhan also took his palm off the handle of the knife.
"Back then, when I read the history books of you Song Dynasty people, I laughed at the pedantry of you ancient people from the Central Plains. You were all too particular about rules and morals.
Where is the spirit of the winner being the king and the loser being the thief?
Now that I am getting older, I feel that the style of the past is no longer there. It is really a great regret for me that I have not been able to get a glimpse of the style of the ancients.
That gentlemanly demeanor... I can see it now in a shameless guy like you. "
Nian Han looked at Zhao Huan, and finally couldn't help but mocked him, but looking at him, he didn't look angry at all.
Zhao Huan also had the same disdain on his face, but he didn't have any anger at all.
"I came out today just to see you, old guy. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again in the future. To see you today is to fulfill my wish."
"Song and Jin have been fighting for many years. You and I are old rivals. Have you been thinking about killing me every day for all these years?"
"Hmm... I wish I could eat his flesh alive, and I wish I could tear this old thief into pieces!" Zhao Huan nodded firmly, not denying his hatred for Nian Han.
"It's a pity that you don't have a chance." After Nianhan finished speaking, he was about to turn his horse's head and leave, "Being able to say goodbye to a man like you today can be regarded as fulfilling my last wish.
I lost this battle, but you just watch.
My Dajin cavalry will definitely break through the territory of your Song Dynasty again, defeat your soldiers, massacre your people, and kidnap your women and craftsmen! "
Zhao Huan looked at Nianhan walking away, and finally just gave a light drink.
"My soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty will also slaughter your Wanyan lineage and completely destroy your Kingdom of Jin. Even if they cannot destroy the country and your species, you will never be reincarnated!"
Nianhan really left this time.
When he knew that Zhao Huan appeared on the top of Yecheng, he already knew that this battle was no longer possible.
Zhao Huan is very important to Yecheng. As long as he appears and as long as he persists, Yecheng cannot be lost.
But now Gao Jianzhong and Bai Yangong cannot stop the Yue family army. This time he must have lost completely.
However, Nianhan has no regrets.
Today's Yecheng is like a melting pot, with plague and death seemingly everywhere.
As long as Zhao Huan walked out of the heavily protected mansion, he would no longer be able to guarantee that he could survive intact.
If Zhao Huan could catch the plague this time...then Nianhan would be considered a success!
When the Jin army evacuated, Zhao Huan immediately asked the army to open the city, search the whole process, appease the people, and bury the bodies, but the people of Yecheng were not allowed to go out.
"Now that I am infected with the plague, if I walk freely now, the plague will inevitably spread, and by then the land of Jizhou will be reduced to a dead place.
I can't wait for this. Please calm down! "
A large number of antlers and horses were set up at the city gate, and then the cards were reset. Yao Pingzhong and Han Chang were personally responsible for guarding the city.
Only Zhao Huan was temporarily placed outside the city with a dedicated person in charge.
The people in Yecheng were frightened. They didn't know what was happening in Yecheng now. They only knew that if they were in the city, they might be infected with the plague even if there was no plague.
But if I leave...
He might be able to escape.
As for whether they really didn't carry the plague, it didn't matter to these people, because if they did, they might die faster if they stayed in Yecheng.
But if they didn't bring it with them, this would be very important.
In this case, they began to attack the city gate.
"Let me out, why can't you let me out? There are no golden people outside. Now, do you want me to die here?"
"I have an old mother above me and children below me. Nothing can happen to me. Let us out. Let us out!"
"You are trying to force us to death. If you don't let us go, we will run away on our own!"
More and more people became angry and panicked. In this situation, they began to try their best to escape. Some sneaked out of the river, some dug dog holes directly, and some even dug holes from home.
In addition to these hard-earned methods, there are also some fancy methods.
At this time, Yao Pingzhong looked at the civilian wearing his own military uniform and armor with a troubled face.
It was this common man who wore the armor of his Song Army, took the documents he "personally" approved, and walked out on official business...
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't recognize himself in the end and used his own name to scold him angrily under his nose, Yao Pingzhong would have really let this guy run away!
When Yao Pingzhong took the document in his hand, he didn't see any problems. The armor was not only perfectly made, but the most important thing was that it was old!
If the mottled bloodstains were not used, even Yao Pingzhong would think that this was a heroic person who had just walked off the battlefield.
After seeing this, Yao Pingzhong couldn't help but marvel.
"I have already taken inventory of the treasury. There has never been any armor or weapons lost in this army, let alone seals and documents.
Where did your outfit come from? "
The people's faces were full of fear at this time, and they allowed Yao Pingzhong's personal guards to pull off his wooden armor, and they allowed themselves to be tied up.
"The villain knows his crime, but he has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old naughty boy. He is the only one in the family who is lonely..."
"Okay, okay!" Yao Pingzhong quickly interrupted this guy's bullshit. During this period, he arrested as many as 80 people, if not a hundred, and all of them were talking nonsense. It made him upset if they kept changing the soup without changing the medicine.
"Just say whatever I ask you. If you still don't know what to say, then I will have no choice but to chop off your head."
After such a scare, the common people finally gave up and knelt directly in front of Yao Pingzhong.
"General, have mercy on me. This villain turns out to be a small wood carver. He makes a living by carving wood for the people in this city. This skill is quite acceptable.
At first I saw how brave and fearless the warriors under this general were and how majestic they were.
The villain was so excited that he carved a pair of armor out of wood..."
Seeing the sneer on Yao Pingzhong's face, the people could only lower their heads dejectedly. He knew that he himself did not believe what he said.
"Where is this document?"
"The villain used to do odd jobs for the engraving department, and was lucky enough to know a few words. The villain saw the format of this document at a glance when he went to the city gate to ask for orders.
Then I went back and copied it myself..."
"seal..."
"I carved it myself."
"..." Yao Pingzhong finally looked at this guy and couldn't help but sigh, "Press it down, press it down, and keep a close eye on him."
Yao Pingzhong was very helpless. These people fled one after another. He did not dare to let them go, let alone kill them.
If you let them go, the remaining people will become even more unscrupulous, but if you don't let them go, things will be even more difficult.
The people are disheartened!
Just when Zhao Huan was struggling to control the plague and maintain the people's support, the news from Jizhou came again, which surprised everyone.
The first battle report is good news.
"Yu Yunwen, under the command of General Yue Fei, attacked Zhending at night and broke through the city overnight. He killed the Jin general Gao Jianzhong and recovered Zhending. The Yue family's army launched a full-scale counterattack and Zhending Mansion was about to be captured.
Daming Mansion guard Bai Yangong collected the defeated troops and maintained Nianhan's first line of retreat, but it was directly cut off by General Yue Fei, leaving Nianhan with nowhere to escape. "
The second is Nianhan's counterattack.
"Nianhan did not fight back at Yecheng. He scattered all his soldiers and horses... and spread the plague. Now north of the Yellow River, the plague is rampant..."
