In the end, only the high-level of the Great Song Dynasty knew the specific situation, and many people only knew that the beggars in Kaifeng City had been cleaned up, and now you can hardly see begging and beggar robbery on the street.

How Chai Yixi was disposed of by Zhao Zhen in the end, no one knows, but the Pan family and several Jiangmen families with a good relationship with the Pan family were implicated, and the Pan and Shi families cut off all their titles, and fell from heaven to hell almost overnight.

When the Pan family was raided, Lu Zifei also went on a special trip, and a big family became an empty house in an instant, the cries of wives and children, women and children, women and children, begging for mercy, and men's sighs, such a picture is really uncomfortable.

Zhao Zhen did not do things perfectly, and left them a part of the capital to survive, and all the officials who served in the imperial court above the fifth grade were dismissed, and those below the fifth grade had no effect.

This can be regarded as the emperor leaving them a chance to make a comeback! Although it looks very slim, there is still a trace of it, and it can be seen from here that it is not groundless that Zhao Zhen can get the nickname of 'Renzong' in later generations.

The next few are people from the Public Security Bureau, the first time to do such a thing made them very excited, raiding the house is a good opportunity to make extra money, from the forbidden army to the police, this is the most satisfying one for them, not only do they not have to work hard but also earn more than in the barracks.

The police are comfortable, then someone must be uncomfortable, Xiao Gu insisted on Wuzhou, wrote a letter to ask Qi Yun to send troops to try Nong Zhigao's attitude, Qi Yun returned to the barracks to point troops on the horse, and directly killed Nong Zhigao, and the soldiers who had not been in battle for a long time were crushed by Nong Zhigao with a charge, and Qi Yun also became Nong Zhigao's trophy.

"Is there no one in the Great Song Dynasty? Did you send someone like you to insult me? Nong Zhigao said in fluent Chinese.

Qi Yun didn't expect Nong Zhigao to speak Chinese, and when he was surprised, Huang Shimi said: "Qi Yun, the commander of the Changping Army, you are really a straw bag, and the king has also participated in the official imperial examination of the imperial court, as a Han Chinese, I am ashamed that you are my kindred." ”

In the face of death, few people can treat it calmly, and Qi Yun said skillfully: "This is all a misunderstanding, I came to negotiate peace with the Nong prefect on behalf of the imperial court, but the sons under my hand did not listen to the order clearly, so he caused a misunderstanding with the Nong prefect." ”

Huang Shimi smiled, he would never believe this kind of absurd reason, but there is only one person in charge here, that is Nong Zhigao, as long as he believes it, he will also believe it.

Nong Zhigao heard that the court was willing to negotiate peace with him, and immediately said: "My requirements are not high, as long as the court gives me Yongzhou as a back cover, I will immediately collect troops, and guard the southern gate for the court, and forever respect the Great Song Dynasty as the Heavenly Dynasty." ”

A mentally handicapped person like Qi Yun knows that this is impossible when he hears it, you obviously want to learn from Li Yuanhao to be self-reliant! It's strange that the group in the court can agree, but he still has to stabilize Nong Zhigao and flee back to Wuzhou for now, as for me to escape, your condition is not to say that it is not in my mouth.

"I can't call the shots of this request, but I can bring a message to the imperial court, now let's have a preliminary contact, and when the imperial court replies, I will come and talk to the nong prefect in detail, you see how it goes."

A simple lie, I don't know if Nong Zhigao heard the meaning, anyway, Qi Yun escaped in this way, he did not lead his troops back to Wuzhou after the defeat, but went south to Qinzhou, as for the purpose of his trip to Qinzhou, no one knows.

Nong Zhigao waited for three days with luck, but did not wait for the news of Qi Yun, but waited for the news that Yang Wenguang led 100,000 forbidden soldiers to rescue Wuzhou, there is only one kind of regular army in the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the forbidden army, only the forbidden army is a combat force, and the box soldiers and Xiangyong are only auxiliary soldiers, not all at the last moment, they are not qualified to go to the battlefield.

So Nong Zhigao was very angry, he felt that it was the imperial court that deceived his feelings again and again, and at the suggestion of Huang Shimi, he decided to use the way of encirclement to send reinforcements to let Yang Wenguang die in Wuzhou.

Yang Wenguang is also depressed along the way, 10,000 forbidden troops, in his opinion, there is no combat effectiveness, he feels that training while walking is a good choice, although he is the chief general of the first army, but he really can't be the master.

In the Song Dynasty, there were very few generals who could lead troops alone, not counting the period of Taizu and Taizong, because the two of them were equivalent to the founding emperors, they had self-confidence and courage not to be afraid of you leading troops to rebel.

Yang Wenguang is no exception, the annoying thing is that the imperial court has assigned two supervisors for him this time, one is Yu Jing, the servant of the imperial history, and the other is Liu Qingnan, the secretary and young eunuch, it stands to reason that Yu Jing's status is the highest, but he didn't speak along the way, and Liu Qingnan became the supreme commander of the entire army without saying it.

On the fifth day of the first month of March, the forbidden army arrived in Qingyuan, and at this time the disagreement came out, Yang Wenguang meant to directly reinforce Wuzhou, because Guangzhou was still safe for the time being, but Liu Qingnan thought that they should stay in Guangzhou and wait for Nong Zhigao, and the reason he gave was to wait for work.

The two of them couldn't argue, so they came to ask Yu Jing what he meant, and Yu Jing said: "It's simple, you can go to Wuzhou and stay in Guangzhou, but no matter where the forbidden army goes, whoever fails will be held responsible." ”

At this time, Liu Qingnan did not fight, and also fully supported Yang Wenguang to reinforce Wuzhou, from Qingyuan to Wuzhou had to pass through Zhaoqing and Yunfu, Yang Wenguang commanded the army in the south for the first time, and the next trouble was beyond his expectations.

The first problem is the climate, when the soldiers in the north go to the south, many people have prickly heat, and the medical conditions are not up to standard, and when the camp is full of wounded soldiers, before they reach the battlefield, their own people are reduced by half.

The second problem is the geographical environment, where there are either small puddles or small puddles, coupled with dense forests, the army basically walked all the way and repaired all the way.

The third is diet, their grain and grass, baggage did not bring much, the imperial court gave the will is to use local materials, the southerners use rice, fish, seafood as ingredients, and the soldiers in the north can not eat such a light meal.

When they arrived at Deqing Mansion, the army got a few rests, Yang Wenguang counted the number of people, and there were less than 7,000 people who could follow him to the battlefield, and three to forty percent of them had lost their combat effectiveness on the road.

Deqing Mansion and Wuzhou are only two days away, at this time there must be someone to stay in the rear, after discussion, Yu Jing stayed, Yang Wenguang and Liu Qingnan led the army to rescue Wuzhou.

Yu Jing also went to the battlefield during the Zhenzong period, and fought with the Liao army with real swords and guns, he could understand the idea that the two of them wanted to make meritorious contributions urgently, but without a large number of scouts to clean up the outpost and inquire about the news, they killed Wuzhou with a black eye, Yu Jing was not very optimistic.

Yang Wenguang is also a veteran of the battlefield, Yu Jing feels that he is more experienced than himself, maybe just like Yang Wenguang thought, Nong Zhigao is just a group of rabble, vulnerable to the regular forbidden army of the upper court, of course, this is just what he thinks in his heart.

Nong Zhigao is well versed in the way of employing people in the Song Dynasty, and he also gives enough respect to veterans like Yang Wenguang, all the shortcomings of the forbidden army are their advantages, and after putting on a posture of besieging Wuzhou City, he quietly left with a large army.

Yang Wenguang eliminated the scouts and cleared the obstacles within ten miles ahead, but the news that the scouts came back was calm, and Yang Wenguang was very proud at this time, because he felt that Nong Zhigao would not lead troops at all, and he was not prepared at all.

The forbidden army under the rapid advance did not encounter a single soldier of Nong Zhigao, and it was not until the next day when they stood on the flat ground and could see Wuzhou City from a distance that Nong Zhigao felt that something was wrong, no matter how at this time, Nong Zhigao should also send someone to take a look!

"General, we can't cross the river."

Yang Wenguang hesitated, the originally simple and clear things are now a little confusing, there are countless examples of being attacked by the enemy in the process of crossing the river, the forbidden army is not good at water, and Nong Zhigao's people live by the water all the year round, once the enemy catches this flaw, it is very likely that the Yang family's reputation will be ruined in their own hands.

Liu Qingnan, a nerd, said to the herald: "Cross the river immediately, the people of Wuzhou City are still waiting for us to rescue them?" ”

Even if Yang Wenguang was dissatisfied with Liu Qingnan, he had no choice but to let it go at this time, but the worries lingering in his heart were even more serious, he felt that if he changed to the other party, he would definitely make a fuss on this Xijiang River, and it should be the best way to attack halfway.

After the forward troops passed, everything looked so normal and natural, Yang Wenguang knew that whether there was an ambush would be revealed soon, and the troops were halfway through, and the worries in his heart were about to be put down, but with the human heads exposed in the water and the overwhelming killing shouts on the other side of the river, Yang Wenguang's heart was cold.

"Don't mess up everyone, there aren't many thieves, keep a good formation and fight back on the spot." The hysterical shouts could not change the panicked hearts of the soldiers, and the forbidden troops on the other side were all driven into the water by Nong Zhigao, and when they got to the water, the forbidden army was just a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The water of the Xijiang River turned red, as red as Yang Wenguang's eyes, and he took a deep breath, Yang Wenguang knew that he couldn't die here, and if he died, the remaining three thousand people would also become the soul of Nong Zhigao's sword.

"Break through, break out, break through in the direction of Deqing Mansion." Fortunately, the rest of the people still had a trace of sanity after the panic, and knew to pick up arms and surround the manager.

"Did any of you see the Overseer?"

The adjutant general said: "There was a riot, and when I saw the prison army, I ran away with people. ”

Yang Wenguang didn't have time to scold, but he heard the enemy's attack on both sides, and the banner of Nong was held high. Nong Zhigao in his field of vision didn't bring many people, and after weighing the pros and cons, he still gave up his plan to fight hard.

Because the thieves in the river and the thieves on the other side are crossing the river one after another, once a trap is formed, I am afraid that I and these 7,000 people will die here today.
