Song Dynasty

Chapter 109 Heart (Part [-])

From Majiadu to Jiankang, there are [-] miles of waterway. Although it is fast to go down the river, it will take several hours anyway.

Wang Shen was very drunk again, and when he lay down, he fell asleep in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by a burst of loud laughter.

The conditioned reflex developed on the battlefield for a long time made Wang Shen jump up suddenly. He was still in the air, and the horizontal knife had been unsheathed, dancing a ball of white light.

"Okay!" After a round of applause, the woman who boarded the boat before applauded and praised: "There used to be a beautiful woman named Gongsun, who danced her sword and moved all directions. The viewers were as depressed as the mountains, and the sky and the earth were depressed for a long time. Huo Ruyi shot Nine sunsets, like a group of emperors and dragons soaring. Coming like thunder, absorbing wrath, and stopping like rivers and seas congealing and clearing light. Such a sword technique should be revealed."

After finishing speaking, he raised the wine jar and drank water from Sakura's mouth like a long whale.

The white wine flowed down her slender neck, it was really heroic and dashing.

It turned out that the laughter just now came from the woman on board, Hu Yantong and Lao Guo.

At this time, Wang Shen came to his senses, stopped the knife in his hand, let out a breath, looked intently at the rolling Yangtze River, and said with a wry smile: "A good man from Yanzhao, my lady is comparing me to Mrs. Gongsun?"

The woman threw the wine jar over, and Wang Shen picked it up.

The woman smiled and said: "Your honor, is this looking down on women? These two heroes just competed for wine, and they also lost to a woman like me."

Hearing this, Hu Yantong and Lao Guo, who were sitting on the side, smiled wryly: "Young lady is a good drinker, I will admit defeat."

The woman looked at Wang Shen with sharp eyes: "You have a fight of wine, and you swim on the big river. The river has a sound, and the bank is thousands of feet away. The mountains are high and the moon is small, and the water and stones are clear. Once the geometry of the sun and the moon, but the mountains and rivers can never be recognized again! The night is white and the wind is clear, such a good night, how about coming to drink?"

Wang Shen smiled bitterly: "You are still calling me a woman, if you don't drink a few jars today, you will be underestimated."

After saying that, a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat surged in my heart, and I immediately lifted the wine jar and poured it into my mouth.

The woman laughed and clapped her hands: "The ancients and the modern people are like flowing water. It is the same when we look at the bright moon. I only hope that when the song is right with the wine. The moonlight shines in the golden bottle, and the honor is a real hero. Enjoy, enjoy!"

Wang Shen was already drunk, but after drinking the half jar of wine, he suddenly felt his whole body became hot.

At this matter, the river wind roared and swept across the water.There was a flood, and the thick clouds in the night sky were blown away at some point.

A wide Milky Way runs across the sky, magnificent and majestic.The sky full of stars was printed on the water, and was smashed to pieces by the wind and waves.

Standing on the bumpy boat, I feel so small.

Yes, compared with this world and this era, what is a person?
However, no matter how insignificant I am, isn't it like the boat under me, bravely moving forward in the wind and waves?
Wang Shen was overwhelmed by this magnificent scene, looked at the majesty of heaven and earth, and was speechless.

The woman tapped the chopsticks on the table in a fierce rhythm, opened her mouth, and there was the singing of Piercing Clouds and Cracking Stones: "The sky meets the clouds and the dawn mist, and the galaxy is about to turn into a thousand sails. It's like a dream and soul returned to the emperor. Smell Tianyu, kindly ask me where I am going."

It is a song "The Pride of the Fisherman".

The singing voice was high-spirited and intense, and the hairs on everyone's hairs stood on end.

Hu Yantong, who was already very drunk, also picked up his chopsticks and followed her rhythm.

Wang Shen couldn't bear it any longer, he threw the empty wine jar into the rolling Yangtze River, and shouted in anger: "I report that the road is long and the sun is setting, and I have amazing lines when I learn poetry. Move. The wind stops!"

Hu Yantong waited for several other people on the boat to shout at the same time: "Fengxiu!"

Woman: "Blow the boat to take three mountains!"

……

"Haha, haha!" Wang Shen let out a long laugh, feeling that the depression accumulated in his chest had followed the song, the river, the vast galaxy in the sky, gone forever.

Guo Ya: "Master, Jiankang City has arrived."

The woman and her family got into the boat, and she was blessed again: "Tonight, I can see Wang Daosi flying thousands of miles in the wind and sweeping away thousands of troops like a mat. It's such a pleasure, so let's go!"

Wang Shen also bowed his hand in return: "It is a great honor for Wang Shen to meet Lay Yi An today. I am very grateful for Mr. Yi's enlightenment today."

************************************************** **
Finally the day to go.

On January 23, the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, five thousand Sizhou troops sailed slowly away from Jinling in various ships.

Wang Shen had already been appointed by the imperial court years ago, and the reason why he stayed until now was because the Wanyanchang Department of the Jurchen West Route Army crossed the river in the upper reaches of Jiangzhou to attack Liu Guangshi's Huaixi Army, which cut off the shipping on the Yangtze River.

Just like in the real history, after Liu Guangshi met Jin Bing, the army collapsed and retreated quickly.

As a result, the Jurchen West Route Army pursued all the way south and plundered Jiangxi, intending to capture the Empress Dowager Fulong, and soon captured Hongzhou, which is later known as Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province.

Now, the Yangtze River shipping is finally smooth, and it's time to leave.

Li Qingzhao, a layman in Yi'an, often met Wang Shen some time ago, and introduced many cultural figures who had wandered from Bianliang to Jinling to know him.As early as two days ago, Li Qingzhao also left.

After all, she was a woman, and after being exiled to the south, her life was very difficult.She has a younger brother named Li Hui, who is an official in the imperial court, and is now in Hangzhou, so she intends to go and join her.

Wang Shen thought about it and thought it was okay.In this time and space, because he guarded Jiankang, Wushu could not cross the river, and Li Qingzhao didn't have to be afraid of falling into the chaos when he went to Hangzhou.

When Li Qingzhao bid farewell to him, Wang Shen also sent him a package as a token of his appreciation.

Standing on the deck, looking at the turbulent waves and the densely packed ships behind him, Wang Shen said with emotion: It has finally begun, and finally I can have a world that truly belongs to me.

Qin Sizhao stood beside him and asked curiously, "Daddy, what is Huangzhou?"

Wang Shen: "That's a good place, it's a big world!"

Yes, that is a big world, a new world, which will soon belong to Wang Shen.

"Big world, is it as big as Jianghuai?" Qin Sizhao asked curiously.

As a child, in his eyes, Jiangnan, Huaixi, and Huaibei were the largest food producing areas and the wealthiest areas in China. This is the whole world and the world.

"You'll know when you go." Wang Shen touched his chubby head and was about to say something else.

Suddenly, a soldier beside the boat suddenly poured a jug of wine into the river, and shouted to the bank: "Brother, I'm going, protect us!"

At this time, Wang Shen discovered that the team was passing through Majiadu to the ferry, passing by the battlefield of their last bloody battle.

At this time, the red sun was just rising, and the sky and the earth were all red.

But I saw that the shore was densely packed with small tombs, and the soldiers of the Sizhou Army who died in the last bloody battle were buried inside.

As if it had been agreed long ago, the soldiers on board took out wine jugs from their bosoms and poured the liquor into the water.

Thousands of people were shouting: "Brother, we are going, bless us!"

Tears dripping down.

Wang Shen's eyes were moist. He looked at Lu Can, who was standing beside him trembling all over, and put his hands on his shoulders: "I hope the sun will always shine on my land, and I will never forget that the blood of the martyrs is all over the ground. Brother Ziyu, brother Paoze Their sacrifices were valuable, and we will always remember their unyielding fighting spirit."

After finishing speaking, he also took the wine handed by the guards and sprinkled it into the water, shouting loudly: "The soul is back, my robe, my brother!"

……

After ten days of sailing, the troops arrived in Jiangzhou and plundered them for supplies.At this time, news came.The Wushu army stayed in Yangzhou for two months and finally collected enough ships to cross the river to attack Dantu.

With only 1 horses on hand, Han Shizhong, who had only [-] main soldiers, could not arrive, and Dantu fell.

Now, the Jurchen East Route Army is rapidly moving south along the Grand Canal to attack Zhao Gouxing in Hangzhou.

"It still hasn't stopped the Jurchens from crossing the river!" Wang Shen sighed in his heart.

There is a huge gap between strength and weakness, so what if you keep Jiankang yourself.Jurchen's strength lies there, Jiankang can't make it through here, at worst, just change places.

What we need to do now is to strengthen our own strength, there is no absolute power, and there is nothing else to talk about.
