"The clouds are scattered with light silk threads, and the pavilion has a light spring appearance——"
Yuniang's voice was like the sound of nature, without any smoke and smoke, as if it was floating from the sky. Accompanied by the crisp sound of pipa, lingering between heaven and earth. On one side, Mr. Jin closed his eyes slightly, pulled the string, and swayed to the rhythm of the music, as if he was enjoying it very much.
With the singing, the messy yard suddenly became quiet. The leader of the Jin Army who was drinking looked stupidly at Yu Niang under the light. Her graceful figure was a bit unreal, like a fairy in the sky.
Zhou Bangyan was a master lyricist in the late Northern Song Dynasty. He was proficient in music and his singing skills were unmatched by others.
Shen Zun supported his father towards the back office, and suddenly heard singing coming from the front yard, and suddenly became a little distracted. Suddenly I felt a cold feeling on my face. When I stretched out my hand, I saw a snowflake gently falling on my palm and slowly melting away.
"It's snowing-" Shen Zun murmured. He supported his father and walked out of the back door of the Yamen.
Handing his father to Shen Ruchang, Shen Zundao said, "Take good care of my father! If anything goes wrong, you are the only one to ask!"
Shen Ruchang hurriedly agreed. He supported Shen Chao and put on the bullock cart that had been prepared.
Watching his father's car leave, Shen Zun stood in the middle of the road for a while. No more shadows could be seen in the dark night, so he turned around suddenly. He said to the followers who were following him: "Go to the East City Wall! Whether tonight goes well or not depends on the lives and fortunes of you and me!"
In the cold night, Wei Yang stretched out his hands and felt the snowflakes falling into his palms one by one. There was deathly silence all around, and the coolness falling into the palms gave people a strange feeling. It seems that in this dark night, only this coolness is accompanying me.
Cao Yu stretched out his hand and touched the ground, and said to Wei Yang: "The ground is still hot, and the snow will melt when it falls on the ground. The weather is so pitiful that the snow will not fall heavily until we enter the city. In such weather, it is difficult to climb the city in the snow. It’s really not a good thing for our army.”
Wei Yang said: "Don't say it's snowing, it's hailing. As long as there is no problem with Shen Zhixian in the city, we will capture Lintong tonight!"
Cao Yu nodded and said no more. 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 the fire! - Don't have any accidents!"
The people around him lit a prepared torch and waved it in the air like on the city.
The torches on the city disappeared. Not long after, it suddenly lit up again and shook violently on the top of the city.
Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Magistrate Shen asked us to board the city now. Cao Yu, you lead a hundred people up the city wall. After you go up, immediately open the east city gate and guard the city gate firmly! Our army is marching in City, the Jin Army is nothing but fish and meat on the case!"
Cao Yu promised. Taking a hundred people who had been selected early, they headed towards the city wall.
The city was quiet. The few Jin troops who defended the city crowded together and warmed up around the fire. The young men recruited from the city were called by the Jin soldiers from time to time to walk on the city wall. They all stared intently and kept stamping their feet.
There were no Jin army guards near the east gate of the city, only dozens of men lighting a few fires. In the firelight, Shen Zun and his entourage lowered the big rope from the city wall. Shen Zun frowned, his face full of anxiety.
Suddenly, a big rope swayed. Shen Zun looked overjoyed: "Here we come, Master Wang has arrived at the city!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed the big rope and shook it vigorously a few times, and then he felt someone was grabbing him underneath. In just a moment of breath, a big man climbed up the rope to the top of the city. Seeing Shen Zun wearing official uniform, he saluted and said, "I'm in Jindutou. I've met the county magistrate!"
Shen Zundao: "I wanted to tie a big basket down from above, but I didn't want to climb up on my own. Is Cao Tongzhi below?"
Jin Dutou said: "Yes. The people in our army have all practiced climbing the city wall. There is no need to use big baskets. To use the basket, you have to drag it up and put it down, which is a waste of time. As long as the magistrate guards this section of the city wall, everything will be fine. All is well.”
After saying that, he looked around. He took out a bamboo whistle from his waist and blew it loudly, like a bird chirping.
Shen Zun knew that this was their military method, so he didn't ask any questions. He ordered his followers to tie the rope securely from above.
After a short time, Cao Yu and the Song troops climbed up one after another. Song Jun's movements were proficient, indeed as Jin Dutou said, he had obviously practiced them on daily basis. The movements are skillful and fast.
Seeing Cao Yu, Magistrate Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and said, "Commander, I have invited the leader of the Jin army to have a drink in the county government office. Now is the time for excitement. There are only about fifty people in the Jin army on top of the city."
Cao Yu followed what Shen Zun said and looked at the dark city wall. Silently counting the fires, he said: "I will take a hundred people to open the city gate, and the others will follow Jin Dutou and kill the golden soldiers on the city wall. Remember, don't let them escape, and don't let them escape." Too loud."
Jin Dutou promised. Call several leaders over and tell them to take people to several city walls.
Facing the cold wind and taking a deep breath, Cao Yu led a hundred Song troops, and under the guidance of Shen Zun, rushed towards the east gate.
The Jin soldiers guarding the city gate hid in a sheltered place and took a nap. Cao Yu and his men touched their necks from behind, but they didn't make much noise. After quietly opening the city gate, Cao Yu sent people to guard Wengcheng before sending a signal to Wei Yang outside.
Seeing the large group of Song troops entering the city, Shen Zun hurriedly said to Cao Yu: "The leaders of the one or two hundred Jin army are drinking in the yamen. The commander can send people to surround the yamen so that none of them can escape! There is no leader, and the one or two hundred people are gone. People, the Jin army outside will be easy to deal with."
Cao Yu discussed with Wei Yang and made a decisive decision, leading five hundred people straight to the Yamen.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Under the dim light, the snowflakes fluttered like butterflies flying. On the stage, Yu Niang was still singing beautiful songs. Next to him, Dad Jin unknowingly raised his feet and his face was filled with excitement. In the audience, the leaders of the Jin Army were drinking happily, chatting and laughing. Drinking wine, eating meat, and listening to the songs on the stage.
When he arrived at the yamen gate, Shen Zundao said: "The Jin army has gone inside. The people guarding tonight, except for my men, are all young men. They are all subjects of the Song Dynasty. Don't worry, Commander, they will definitely help you. "
Cao Yu took out his flute and played it gently. The sound was sharp and thin, like the sound of a bird, but somehow different. If you don't pay special attention to this sound, you won't notice it at all.
One hundred Song troops followed Ling Du to the back door. Cao Yu also arranged people at the low places of the walls.
Cao Yu looked at Shen Zun, took a sharp breath, kicked the door open, and rushed in with a knife in hand.
"Even if we meet, it's hard to ask. Dai Mei once printed the spring shirt -" The singing inside came out, and when Shen Zun heard it, his heart was suddenly pulled away. He leaned softly against the big willow tree next to him and looked up at the sky. No stars, no moon, only snowflakes dancing in the sky.
