Chapter 126 Jingjing Wants Daddy
It was March, and the air was still chilly from the snow in the Qinling Mountains. He asked Huo Fenghuang if there was any news about Yuqi.
This place is close to Mount Zhongnan. Zhao Yulin thought of Wu Yuqi's Taoist mother and always felt that she was in a Taoist temple on Mount Zhongnan.
Fenghuang asked him with a smile: "Do you miss our sister? Then let's go up the mountain and look for her house by house."
He laughed and said, "Okay, bring your brothers from the Third Column to look for her. It's been several years. She is such a person. What can't she get through? She has to run away and live alone. Even if she doesn't want us anymore, our Jingjing needs a daddy."
After Zhao Yulin finished speaking, he leaned back in the recliner and closed his eyes. He then heard sobbing sounds from behind him.
He immediately stood up and looked. Who else could that familiar figure be but Wu Yuqi?
Zhao Yulin was overjoyed. He rushed over, hugged Wu Yuqi and spun her around three times. The woman cried even harder in his arms.
Fenghuang walked over with a smile and said that the family should be happy as they are reunited. Girl, are you crying because you are happy or because you are angry that brother Yulin doesn't care about you?
Wu Yuqi raised her head with tears in her eyes and said with a smile, "I hate you so much." Then she leaned on him and sobbed. Zhao Yulin patted the woman on the back and said, "It's good that you're back. Where's Jingjing? Let me see her."
Yuqi hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Jingjing is with her mother."
Zhao Yulin looked at Wu Yuqi and was a little confused. He didn't know which mother had Jingjing. Wasn't Yuqi's mother killed by Hu Yidao?
Fenghuang smiled and said, of course it was in the hands of Yibin's mother-in-law. Yuqi's father didn't kill her mother, nor did he kill the fellow apprentices in Zhongnan Mountain. He just knew that he had committed a serious sin and didn't want to see anyone. Now they are all working for Yuqi's side, and they want to do something real for our Song Dynasty.
The more Zhao Yulin listened, the more confused he became. He asked foolishly what the big deal was.
Fenghuang looked at Yuqi, smiled mysteriously and said, "The secret cannot be revealed." Then he turned and left.
The two spent the night together, and when they woke up, Yuqi asked him, "Don't you want to hear the story of her mother and her father?" He pinched Yuqi's little nose and waved his hand, saying that it would remain a mystery forever.
Zhao Yulin comes from a society ruled by law, so he naturally cannot stand the wanton killing of innocent people by the underworld. Although he enjoys taking revenge, he is lawless.
It’s better to let it rot in your stomach.
The woman curled up lazily in his arms and said that things are unpredictable, and Master Lu's health is getting worse and worse. He was seriously injured when he went to the Beggars' Sect to get the secret documents, but he didn't tell anyone because he was afraid that everyone would worry about him.
Zhao Yulin said, who else would dare to take action against a high-ranking official of the Shenwei Army like Lu Youpeng? I'm afraid that apart from the Mongolian army it would be the Lin'an court.
Yuqi said faintly that's why her father asked her to come back to guard the place. One must be on guard against others. In the past two years, they have intercepted and killed three groups of thieves who were plotting against Xingyuan Prefecture.
He held Yuqi tightly in his arms and said that things were getting bigger and bigger and more difficult, but no matter how difficult it was, we had to keep moving forward.
In fact, Wu Yuqi's health gradually improved after she found her mother, but she had a strong personality. Seeing that her sisters were helping Zhao Yulin do great things, she also wanted to be at the forefront, so she stayed in Guanzhong and refused to leave.
Zhao Yulin attacked Guanzhong from Ziwu. Lao Lu sent her a message, and she went to support him with the men she had developed here. She intercepted and killed several groups of Mongolian scouts, ensuring the secrecy of the operation to the greatest extent possible. She made an indelible contribution.
The next day, news spread in Chang'an that the Mongolian general Hutuhulu had been killed. Kuoduan's military supervisor arrested many Jin rebel generals in the city. The nine gates of Chang'an were quickly closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave as before.
The Shenwei Army did not seal the city gates. This was Zhao Yulin's intentional act. He only monitored all the city gates but never blocked them. In order to facilitate reconnaissance and purchases, the Mongolian army opened the city gates and allowed the people to enter and exit.
The city gate was suddenly closed today, something must have happened inside.
Zhao Yulin asked Lai Chuanfang to make arrangements and to place heavy troops in ambush at the four gates in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest to deal with any unexpected events and to enter the city immediately if there was a chance.
Chuanfang said he could lead his troops directly into the city, so why did he have to wait until something happened in the city?
He told Chuanfang that this was to protect the ancient city and the ancient capital. This city had been the capital of several dynasties and every house was a cultural relic. He did not want it to be destroyed in his hands.
In the past, when kings went to war to capture cities, they would burn, kill, loot, and demolish houses and walls to vent their anger. That was the mentality of habitual bandits. Zhao Yulin came from later generations and was very clear about the value of ancient cities and streets.
The next day, the South Gate was suddenly opened, and a group of soldiers dressed in Jin army uniforms rushed out and shouted to the Song army to enter the city quickly, saying that they were rebelling and asked the Shenwei Army to enter the city quickly.
Three thousand Shenwei Army rushed in quickly from the South Gate and took a break. Good news came from the city. Lai Chuanfang sent another 5,000 men into the city. Finally, the soldiers of the Shenwei Army stood on the walls of Chang'an City, and the bright red military flags fluttered in front of the South Gate, North Gate, East Gate and West Gate respectively.
The Shenwei Army peacefully recaptured the city of Chang'an.
Afterwards, Wu Yuqi told him that it was her father Hu Yidao who led his fellow apprentices to do this. They sneaked into the city to incite the surrendered Jin army to rebel, secretly killed two Mongolian generals, and created the illusion that the Jin army intended to rebel, causing the Mongolian army and the army to be suspicious of each other, arresting people without asking any questions, and the city soon became chaotic.
The Jin people were captured at will by the Mongolian army, tortured and even beheaded for no reason. They were forced to take refuge in Liangshan and directly opened the South Gate to invite the Song army into the city.
Zhao Yulin sighed. He could never have thought of this trick.
Only a man of the world like his father-in-law Hu Yidao would do such a thing.
Ten days later, Zhao Yulin entered Chang'an City. Those who should be arrested were arrested, and those who should be killed were killed. Order was restored, and the people were able to live in peace again.
He asked Shunfeng to report to Cao Youwen that Chang'an had been recaptured and requested the Zhizhisi to move in.
In Mobei and Helin, the Khan of the grassland has returned to the golden tent by the river, which symbolizes the supremacy of imperial power. Drinking and having fun all day long has made him gradually forget the loss of Guanzhong.
This was lost at the hands of his son. It's just Guanzhong, so it's lost. Anyway, it was snatched from the hands of his fourth younger brother, an orphan and his widowed mother. It can be considered a temporary loss. If he wants it again, he can just snatch it back.
However, another voice emerged. The weak emperor of Lin'an seemed to be energized recently. There was intelligence that they were resentful of the Mongolian Empire for not fulfilling its promise to return the land of Henan as agreed. They argued in the court every day about launching a northern expedition to take back their three capitals.
The Khan held the concubine in his arms and drank heartily, moving his hands and feet violently, cursing the Emperor of Song for being greedy and saying that it was not enough to rob him of Guanzhong and he was simply seeking death.
What he didn't understand was that the Song army sent troops to take Guanzhong because he refused to return Henan.
What he didn't understand was that the three capitals of Henan were too important in the minds of the Song people.
In the Lin'an Palace of the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor and his ministers were indeed discussing the Northern Expedition to retake the Three Capitals. There was an agreement when the Mongolians allied with Henan that the land would be returned to the Song Dynasty after victory.
However, after the war, the Mongolian army refused to return the territory to the Song Dynasty, arguing that the Song Dynasty sent troops too late, had insufficient troops, and insufficient food and grass transportation. Not only that, they also appointed local officials on their own and incorporated Henan into their territory.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was very depressed. He felt that he had spent money, food and troops, but only got half of the Jin emperor's corpse. Even if he got an extra head, he would still have lost a lot of money. It was not as good as the border general Zhao Qier who took up swords and guns and recovered Guanzhong.
The ministers also breathed and beat the same beat as the emperor, believing that Mongolia was too rude and the Song Dynasty was at a disadvantage, and that they wanted to seek justice with their fists.
The court began to plan the Duanping invasion of Luoyang.
Zhao Yulin only stayed in Chang'an City for one night and then headed west to Fengxiang Prefecture with his men.
Qingyeyuan left the old soldiers to guard the camp and then went out in full force. The Song army was advancing into Guanzhong in an endless stream, and the Administration Office was already on the way.
The two met in Mei County. Cao Youwen was in a very good mood and said that he had never thought of a brilliant plan to recapture Chang'an without moving a single soldier.
Zhao Yulin told him that it was the credit of the Shunfeng Division of the Shenwei Army and that it was they who designed the opening of Chang'an City. Next, he would ask for credit for the brothers in the Shunfeng Division.
Cao Youwen said generously that of course everyone had made a contribution.
Three days later, Zhao Yulin arrived at Fengxiang Prefecture. Three years ago, this city was captured by the Mongolian army and burned, killed and looted. It is still in ruins. Wang Hancheng's soldiers of the Seventh Column are cleaning up the garbage and helping the people repair their houses.
He came over with a smile and said that the people living in this city are basically our Shenwei Army members, and it has become a military city just like Baoji.
Zhao Yulin said that this was not a good thing, as a large amount of logistical services still needed to be done by the people. Otherwise, what would we eat and use?
He asked Wu Yuqi's Shunfeng Department to temporarily exercise administrative management and use all the officials sent by the Zhizhisi. He instructed Han Cheng to gather the troops, enforce strict military discipline, and never allow the seizure of civilian houses or competition with the people, and let those who escaped come back.
Fengxiang Prefecture is also the location of Yongcheng, the place where the pre-Qin dynasty prospered, and has a long history. Walking on the garbage-filled streets, Zhao Yulin felt very sorry for the houses burned down by the Mongolian army, and asked Wu Yuqi to send a message to Hanzhong to send a master to repair them.
Five days later, Zhao Yulin finally saw a clean and tidy Fengxiang Mansion.
Han Cheng told him that the garbage from the houses that had been cleared out had filled up a small ravine. People nearby who had no firewood were still searching for unburned wood in the ravine.
Fire Phoenix told him that she had walked around for a long time and saw empty lots without houses everywhere. The city felt like a man's head with hair loss, with bald people everywhere.
Everyone almost burst out laughing, her metaphor was so brilliant.
As they were talking, Miao Gui came back.
As soon as I entered the door, I exclaimed how exciting it was, and I occupied such a large area in an instant.
Zhao Yulin said, "Why are you showing off? The land under our feet originally belonged to our Song Dynasty. In the future, we will go straight to Huanglong and drink with you all."
The brothers burst into laughter one after another.
Fenghuang quickly went to make tea for Miao Gui, and Zhao Yulin told her to take it quickly, saying that your sister-in-law is under a lot of pressure.
Miao Gui continued hurriedly, looking at the Fire Phoenix .
