But in any case, these two news corroborate each other, but they also prove the authenticity of Zhao Guangyi's matter in this batch of Song troops.

There is a smaller pass after the Jianmen Pass, which the locals call "Little Jianmen". After Meng Xuanzhe, Gao Yanyu and Luo Ji discussed, they decided to retreat half of the main force to Xiaojianmen, pretending to fail in the first battle between the two armies, and after introducing the main force of the Song army between Jianmen and Xiaojianmen, they attacked back and forth to encircle and suppress.

The Song army and the Shu army fought in front of the Jianmen Pass, and the flag was victorious, I didn't know what the plan was, I just thought that Li Hao was letting people deliberately release water to them, and they pursued the victory, but they rushed straight to the Xiaojian Gate only to find out that it was wrong, but when they wanted to withdraw the troops, the circuit had been blocked, and they were caught in an urn.

Zhao Guangyi thought that he wanted to win the battle, in order to boost morale, and even more so to win merit, he showed his identity when the Song army rushed into the sword gate. I didn't expect to be captured alive.

This battle is even more smooth than expected. The two generals, Meng Xuanzhe, Gao Yanyu and Luo Ji, looked at Zhao Guangyi, who was tied up by five flowers in front of him, and their hearts bloomed. With this person, Shu finally had a bargaining chip that could negotiate with the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Guangyi's heart was extremely angry. Although he suffered for a few years when he was a child, since he was sensible, his eldest brother Zhao Kuangyin has gained a firm foothold in Houzhou, took their family over, and lived a stable life.

Due to his mother's favor and eldest brother's care, Zhao Guangyi has been developing smoothly. It's just that compared to his growing ambitions, these shun lì seem to be a little unable to keep up. His influence in the army is far less than that of those old generals, and it is not to the point of being significant.

Zhao Guangyi doesn't want to be a prince in the future, and he doesn't want a position under one person and above ten thousand people, he wants more, he must have military merits and military strength to support him. The Battle of Shu was the most important battle of the Northern Song Dynasty after the Northern Song Dynasty replaced the Later Zhou, and it determined whether the steps of the Northern Song Dynasty to unify the world could be carried out smoothly, and it was also his best opportunity.

Zhao Guangyi grinded hard in front of Zhao Kuangyin, and asked his mother to come forward, and finally got this opportunity. Out of consideration for the interests of the family, Zhao Kuangyin deliberately sent two rising generals to lead the troops to serve as a foil for his younger brother. In order to avoid arousing the vigilance of other elders in the DPRK and China, he deliberately concealed the news that he came with the army, just waiting for him to take this great military feat by surprise. When the time comes, there will be no one to stop his rise.

It's a pity that this qiē calculation was all frustrated in this failure.

Zhao Guangyi glared angrily at the man in front of him in a dark embroidered gold dragon brocade robe and two generals wearing silver light armor.

"Zhao Guangyi, don't come unharmed!" Meng Xuanzhe looked at Zhao Guangyi and raised his eyebrows. If he is defeated, he can only get the treatment of the vanquished, Meng Xuanzhe will not pretend to "treat" him, who let him pinch Shu as a soft persimmon?

"You recognize the wrong person, I'm not Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Guangyi was reluctant to admit his identity. If this matter spreads, his reputation will be ruined. He would rather sneak away silently and sneak away, or be held for a little longer, than let people know about his failure.

"Really?" Meng Xuanzhe, Gao Yanyan, and Luo Ji glanced at each other, and several of them laughed "hahaha".

Zhao Guangyi was annoyed and angry, and his face turned red instantly.

"Someone, go and bring Liu Guangjun up. Meng Xuanzhe didn't talk much to him, and asked people to bring the nominal commander of the Song soldiers who attacked Shu this time.

"King Jin, are you okay? King Jin, you are all humble and powerless, let you suffer this great crime!" Liu Guangjun, who was also tied up by five flowers, saw Zhao Guangyi who was tied up as soon as he came up, and immediately said in a hurry, and after shouting, he said to Meng Xuanzhe and the others: "You have the ability to rush at me! If King Jin is one less hair, my Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty will not let you go!"

Zhao Guangyi's face was almost green when he heard it next to him. slapped his face so quickly, which embarrassed him more than Meng Xuanzhe and others directly exposing him.

Meng Xuanzhe waved his hand and asked Liu Guangjun to be taken down.

"Zhao Guangyi, don't sue me, there were two Jin kings in the Northern Song Dynasty. Meng Xuanzhe looked at Zhao Guangyi sneeringly, not hiding his disdainful attitude at all.

"What's the matter? It's just a big deal, what can you do to me?" Zhao Guangyi broke the jar and said.

"Die, how can such an important person as you die casually?" Meng Xuanzhe looked at him sarcastically.

On the second day, Zhao Guangyi was locked in a wooden cage, chained with a thumb-thick chain, and put a hemp kernel in his mouth for a whole day.

In the first battle, such an important figure of the Song army was captured, and the Shu soldiers of Jianmen were greatly encouraged.

Li Jian, the deputy general of the Northern Song Dynasty army outside the Jianmen, saw that the king of Jin and the main general had been captured, and after he collected the remaining army, there were only less than 100,000 horses left.

Three days later, Meng Xuanzhe sent a team of elite soldiers to escort Zhao Guangyi, Liu Guangjun and others to Shudu. At the same time, there was also a list of treason that Li Hao had given him. Although those people were dead, Meng Xuanzhe collected all the evidence found in their residence to assist Li Hao in treason, compiled them into a book, and sent them to Meng Chang along with the list.

Meng Chang was overjoyed, and immediately ordered a celebration banquet to congratulate the ministers on the victory, and then took the time to go to Concubine Li's palace with the evidence of Li Hao's crimes that Meng Xuanzhe sent him.

Since the news of the defeat of the Northern Song Dynasty came, Li Hao has been trembling. After Zhao Guangyi was sent to Shudu, he was even more on pins and needles, for fear that his affairs would be discovered. I didn't expect Concubine Li to call him into the palace at this time.

Li Hao thought about it, if his matter was discovered, the only one who could save his life would be Concubine Li. So he dressed up carefully, and asked his subordinates to find out the black satin cloth shoes that Concubine Li had made for him a few years ago, and put them on his feet to enter the palace. He thought the shoes were simple and crude, and he had never put them on his feet. Now it comes in handy.

Concubine Li held a crystal glass and shook the amber wine in it blankly. Hearing the maid's report that "the prime minister is here", she steadied herself and said, "Let him in," and then glanced at the sides of the hall that looked empty without a trace.

As soon as Li Hao came in, Concubine Li keenly saw the cloth shoes on his feet.

"I haven't seen you wear these shoes, why are you wearing them today?"

Li Hao saw Concubine Li staring at the shoes on her feet, and secretly praised her cleverness in her heart, and then arched her hand and said: "I have always been reluctant to wear these shoes that my sister gave me, so I have stored them well." But lately, I've often felt that I'm not in good spirits and can't do it, and if I don't wear it, I might not have the opportunity to wear it for a few years, so I took it out and put it on my feet. ”

Li Hao spoke earnestly, but a pair of triangular eyes were secretly looking at Concubine Li's expression. Seeing her expressions of emotion, I felt relaxed in my heart.

"Yes, we're all old!" said Concubine Li, sighing abruptly, taking a sip of the grape wine in her glass.

"What have your sons been doing lately?" asked Concubine Li, seemingly casually.

"They helped in the various departments, and the army of the Sword Gate was gathered, and it cost a lot, although we won the battle, we should not take it lightly. His Majesty is sympathetic to the old minister's old age, and does not let me cāo heart, my children are still young, and they can also worry about their Majesty. ”

Li Hao's words seemed to be loyal, but in fact, he gave Meng Chang eye medicine in front of Concubine Li, complaining that Meng Chang didn't let him interfere in logistics.

Concubine Li lowered her eyes, covering the thoughts in her eyes. If it weren't for the iron-clad evidence of yesterday, she would have really felt that her son should not have been separated from her brother. But now it seems that he is the biggest fool. has been used by his younger brother against his son. Concubine Li felt her heart broken into powder.

"Look, what is this. Concubine Li threw a secret letter in front of Li Hao's eyes.

Li Hao picked it up and looked at it, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead. What he has in his hands is the evidence of his guilt that Meng Xuanzhe sent back to Shudu.

"Hao'er, you disappointed me so much!" Concubine Li picked up a piece of brocade and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

This brother is her only brother, when did he become like this? Could it be that she has been too arrogant with him, so that he has a mind that he should not have? For the sake of that little greed, he even disregarded the lives of his relatives.

"Sister, I'...... I...... I have a hard time! Sister, please give me another chance!" Li Hao exchanged tears, walked to Concubine Li on his knees, and pulled the hem of her purple and golden peony skirt. This sister is the most soft-hearted, and she will definitely not sit idly by and watch him be killed. Definitely not!

"It's late, Hao'er, it's too late. The country is always more important than family affection. I can't do anything more for you. ”

Concubine Li grabbed the crystal cup in her hand, and although she was very reluctant, she still smashed it to the ground. The crystal cup turned into a pile of powder in an instant. On both sides of the main hall rushed out a lot of soldiers in armor.

Li Hao was in a hurry, he saw that the matter was irreparable, so he simply jumped over the wall in a hurry, pulled Concubine Li in front of him, took out a sharp dagger from his arms, rested it on the side of Concubine Li's neck, and said to those soldiers: "Don't come here! If you take another step forward, she will die." ”

"Hao'er, do you have to be like this? If you obey the law, I can still keep your grandson. Concubine Li said in a trembling voice. She was not scared, but sad. Her younger brother actually kidnapped her in public and used her life to escape.

"Hmph! I'm going to die, who cares about the aftermath. Get out of the way, when I'm out of the palace and safe, I'll let her go." Li Hao threatened menacingly.

Those soldiers looked at each other, but they still didn't dare to let Concubine Li have an accident, so they moved one after another to make a way.

Li Hao pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and was just about to take a step forward, when a cold arrow suddenly flew from the beam, until it was inserted into the back of his heart. He was caught off guard, stared at his unwilling eyes, and saw Meng Chang holding Concubine Hui's hand and pacing in from the palace gate, and slowly fell to the ground.
