Chapter seventy six

.

It was late at night, and there was a silence and miserable scene in Jinling City. Only the scoundrels on the streets were like rats. As the Song army had taken over the city wall defense, the Tang army retreated to various military camps waiting for disposal.

The camp west of Shengzhou outside the city was very lively. While drinking happily, the generals were fighting against the beautiful Jiangnan women of all kinds. Apart from guarding the city walls and monitoring the Tang army camps, the generals who had not yet entered Jinling, were eager to enter the city as soon as possible to have a meal. The generals gave priority to enjoying the spoils sent by the losers. From Bianliang to Jiangnan, the Battle of Shaanxi, the Battle of Quarry, and the Battle of Changzhou, many northern athletes finally ushered in a great victory. Cao Han, who made a wonderful contribution, was especially encouraged by the generals to drink, and his tongue was numb with his tongue.

Xu Xian was ordered to send all kinds of gold, silver, pearls and jade. The top of the tent was hung with huge night pearls that emitted soft light. This was a rare treasure taken from Guangzheng Hall. At this moment, he hung the ribbon on the central army tent. It was originally quite charming and pearls, but it was not as bright as the burning bonfire in the tent.

Cao Bin has always been honest. He did not take a single piece of jewelry sent by Xu Xian. He only gave Zhao Kuangyin the national seal of the Southern Tang Dynasty to report the victory. He chose the two best treasures, a seven-foot-high blood coral and a top-grade jade bi, and sent it to the Jin Wang Mansion of Kaifeng Prefecture by a fast horse. In addition, the household registration of residents of various prefectures and counties in Jiangnan, mountain and river map albums and other things that Zhao Kuangyin liked were also ordered to prepare quickly and send it to Kaifeng as soon as possible.

The remaining treasures were all piled up at the celebration banquet at this moment, and the generals in the southern expedition took their own choice.

In order to win over the generals of the Song army, Xu Xian specially selected the best 20 dancers in the palace to give to Cao Bin. All of them were trained by the famous dancers, and were also trained by Li Yu himself. He was singing and dancing in the tent at this moment.

It is just because a woman's menstrual period means a bloody disaster, in ancient times, the most jealous woman was afraid of sex in the army. Therefore, there were resentful sentences about the soldiers who had been in the first half of their lives and deaths, and the beauties sang and danced under the tent. They not only blamed the general for greed for enjoyment, but also criticized him for disregarding the life and death of the soldiers.

Since the Southern Expedition, except for several generals, many generals have never touched women in the past six months. Even if they see an old sow, they have to look at each other more. When they see so many dancers, the generals are so polite. Many generals originally looked down on Cao Bin's gentleness and kindness, and did not avoid the master and generals who were here. They pulled the dancers around them into their arms and were careless and frivolous. These women were originally selected by Li Yu and Zhou Hou. They all have the best choices in the palace.

The position has never encountered such humiliation, and they are all shocked. When the generals attacked each other, they occasionally let out a few screams, which even more excitingly made these soldiers who had been fighting for half a lifetime. If it weren't for Cao Bin's face, they would have had more excessive actions. Cao Han and Pan Meigeng each hugged each other, ignoring Cao Bin's seat, and went straight to return the account. Although the other generals did not dare to be as arrogant as the two of them, they were also unscrupulous.

This scene is much like the peaceful and peaceful life in the Southern Tang Palace. The dancers were forced to be happy at first, but later they all looked sad and sympathetic. The songs they sang were no longer happy, and only made people feel endless sorrow.

Cao Bin looked at the generals in the tent coldly, his face became more and more gloomy, and suddenly shouted angrily: "Come here, push all these Jiangnan dancers down and kill them!"

This general was too abrupt. Before the generals could come back to their senses, some of them even smiled at the beauty in their arms. The delicate beauty frowned deeply, but she did not dare to resist, which made the fighters laugh even more unrestrainedly.

Seeing that the guards beside him did not immediately execute the military order, Cao Bin's face became even darker and shouted to the captain of the Yajun Army Kuang Si, "I haven't done anything yet, do you want me to do it myself?"

Kuang Si hurriedly agreed and immediately led the fang soldiers to tie up all these dancers. Even those who were pulled in their arms by the generals did not let go of them. They pulled their hair and forced them up. A total of 18 Jiangnan dancers were all pressed down in the middle of the tent, waiting for Cao Bin to fall.

Just now, the tent that was noisy suddenly became quiet. All the generals looked at Cao Bin, wondering where this gentle and gentle general was present.

Cao Bin looked around the tent with a cold eyes and shouted, "You Jiangnan women, since you come to my kingly army to perform a dance, why do you pretend to be sad? It is obvious that you are thinking of the old master and do not obey the king's way." He was not very prestige in the army and deliberately beat the generals, but he just threw himself at the rat and was afraid of weapons. At this moment, he had the intention of killing a chicken to warn the monkey.

These vague words deducted the great crime, and asked the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground to argue with the women who were pressed to the ground by the wolf and tiger. Each of them had only blank eyes. They were just trophys given to the winner by the loser, and they could only endure humiliation and be flattering to the plaything. The situation he encountered was never even encountered in his imagination, and he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, he heard the vicious Song general say, "Push them all down and kill them! To serve as a warning!" The eighteen dancers burst into tears just now!

Only then did the generals look at each other, knowing that the deployment master was really angry. Only the right army guard Wang Zhi drank a glass of turbid wine without moving, and watched these stunning and enchanting people being pushed out of the tent with regret. Soon, eighteen bloody heads were placed in the tray and presented them. Cao Bin just "hummed" and nodded.

Seeing this scene, the arrogant and domineering generals were silent and drank and ate meat without saying a word. Until Cao Bin got up and left, he returned to the tent in groups of three or three. From then on, except for Pan Mei and Cao Han and other deeply rooted generals, the other generals were all afraid of Cao Bin, knowing that this seemingly kind-hearted person had his own sharp sword in his stomach, and he was also a ruthless person.

The next morning, a good general told Cao Han and Pan Mei, who were in the army who could compete with Cao Bin. Pan Mei did not show any expression and kept the singer who brought back yesterday in the camp. However, Cao Han immediately sent the singer back to Cao Bin's place, and said with a smile: "This singer was sent by Xu Xian to please everyone. He would kill him if he liked him. What should I do?"

Cao Bin was even more angry when he heard this, because the two generals Pan and Cao were deeply trusted by Zhao. Although they were a little reckless, they were placed in the army with a vague intention of restraining him from his autocracy. Therefore, before he was fully confident, he could only hold the depression in his heart and reveal it inconvenience. The Wang Lin, who was well-informed, clear-minded, and was provocative, saw this, took the initiative to go up and offer him a plan.

On the second day, the main general came to the tent to slap Mao as usual. Who knew that the commander's position was empty and the main general was not there.

When the generals went to visit, they realized that Cao Bin was overworked in urging the troops to attack the city a few days ago and fell ill.

Cao Bin said that when he was about to take over Jinling, the army could not be left without a leader for a day, so he stayed in the camp while sick. Pan Mei and Cao Han divided the generals. Cao Han led his army into the city to take over the palace ban. Pan Mei was in charge of the city defense and monitored the movements of the Tang army in various surrendered units.

After Pan Mei and Cao Han were ordered, they were very excited. They immediately raised their troops and drove into the city excitedly. The generals of the Southern Expedition were not in control of Cao Bin and wanted to enter the city as soon as possible and let go of plunder. For a moment, the army of various groups rushed into the city, and some were plundering people's wealth, some were women, some were killed indiscriminately, and the people of Jinling suffered a great disaster.

Many of the Tang army had families in Jinling, and they were all angry when they saw this. However, since they had surrendered and there were Song troops monitoring each other, they had to stay in the military camp and watch their elders suffer.

Cao Han led 10,000 elite troops to take over the palace city. Everyone knew that it was the place where the wealth and beauty in the entire Jinling were the most. His generals and soldiers were all overjoyed and sighed that he had good luck following Cao Xianfeng. The three hundred Song troops who had once followed Cao Han into the city and forced Li Yu to surrender were even more arrogant.

At this moment, Chen De was waiting for the news of burning, killing, looting outside had already spread to the palace, and people were panicking everywhere. Many eunuchs and palace maids had secretly escaped from the palace. Except for the gate of the city tower guarded by Heiyun, the small gate guards in other palace walls that were convenient for entry and exit were useless. Because except for the few people who were around Li Yu every day, most of the guards from aristocratic families escaped without knowing where to go.

Seeing the severed palace servants start to leave the palace in groups of three or three, Chen De took Li Si to look for Huang Wen as a palace guard. He had originally forged the guards and the waist cards of Heiyundu, but no one could check them along the way.

When you arrive at Jianye’s study, where the literary talent in the past is inaugurated, there is only endless desolate scene left, and only rubble is left on all sides of the water.

Huang Wen was waiting alone next to the ruins like a mirror, with only one palace maid accompanying him. I guess Huang Wen had been standing here for a long time, and the palace maid looked anxious and kept persuading: "Baoyi, the study is gone, and it's only a little sad for how long it's time to stand. Why not go back and rest first?"

Seeing this, Chen De signaled Li Si to cover his face with a facial towel and walked forward quickly.

The palace maid who was accompanying her saw two masked men wearing guard costumes suddenly appearing from the bushes, and almost fell into the water. Before she screamed in surprise, she was chopped on the back of her neck by a knife and fainted softly on the ground.

Huang Wen turned around when she heard the movement behind her. Although Chen De was covered in her face, how could she not recognize her? Her beautiful eyes flashed and she seemed to shed tears in excitement.

Chen De took the scarf and smiled and said, "Are you waiting for me?"

Huang Wen's throat was already choked, and she held back her tears and nodded with a smile: "Well, I know, you will definitely come."

Seeing that she seemed to be about to cry, Chen De teased and said, "If I don't come, wouldn't you have to wait for it and turn into a husband-looking stone?"

Huang Wen shook her head and bit her lip and said, "If you can't wait for you, when the Song people enter the palace, I will jump from here."

Hearing that the beauty was so caring, Chen De looked at the green pool of clear water, and felt sad and loving in his chest, and only reached out to hold her soft pancreas tightly.

Since Li Si was still beside him, the two of them were not too close, so Chen De took Li Si to move the knocked palace maid into the flowers and plants next to him, then stripped her clothes and handed them over to Huang Wen. The three of them pretended to be guards and palace maids, and went out of the palace with the eunuchs and palace maids who were dismissed by Zhou Hou.

It was not until he came to the private house outside the palace that was originally going to dig the tunnel that Li Si left consciously, and the two hugged each other tightly, looking at each other, waiting for each other for many days, and at this moment they all turned into joy.

After a long time, the two of them walked out of the house. Huang Wenxia flew her face, and her palace clothes had been changed into men's clothes. Chen De changed into Song army uniforms. Together with Li Si, who had already changed into Song army uniforms, it seemed as if two lower-level officers of the Crane Control Army were escorting a civilian from Jinling. They returned to a long-prepared Divine Guard Industry. The three of them were relieved in their hearts.

Cao Han, the commander of the Song army's vanguard commander, led more than 10,000 elite Song army soldiers to set out in the morning and plundered all the way. It was almost noon before coming to the palace gate and shouted loudly that the Heiyundu, who was guarding the palace gate, opened the city gate.

Note 1. Cao Bin kills Ji in unofficial history, but adds the author's interpretation.

Note 2. In order to show that he was rich and had guests, Shi Chong often asked the beauties (maids and concubines) to persuade him to drink. If the guests could not drink enough, they thought that the beauties were not effective and killed. Once, Wang Dao and his brother Wang Dun (later in the Eastern Jin Dynasty) came to Shi Chong's house. Wang was afraid that Shi Chong would kill the beauties in anger, so he had to force himself to drink. Wang Dun was different. He deliberately refused to drink, so Shi Chong killed three beauties one after another. Wang Dao persuaded Wang Dun to drink. Wang Dun said: "What does he have to do with you when he kills his family?"
