When Zheng Fei arrived in Weizhou, the first Great Song reinforcements who got the news finally arrived in Nanle City, and the tragic state of the city wall of Nanle City as if the sky had collapsed immediately stunned each of them!

But what is even more amazing is that not only is there not a single enemy soldier outside the city, but the city wall is also empty, there is not even a single guard, and the only few figures know at a glance that it is just a child playing, and then look at the people outside the city as if they have not been affected at all and are still in the "city gate" as usual...... Let's call the shocking gap that emerges from the walls of the city "gate...... Everywhere in and out, ploughing the fields, everything was as if nothing had happened.

Don't...... Earthquake? And also...... What about the enemy and their own people?

The general of this Song army was amazed, and immediately sent scouts to cautiously approach Nanle City to investigate the situation, and soon, the news reported by the scouts shocked the general again, they said that the thieves had withdrawn, and they also found a few Song soldiers who were hiding in a hidden place on the day the city was broken, and learned the details of the battle from their mouths, it turned out that the thieves had already broken through Nanle City on the same day, and took the commander Zheng Xiunian and tens of thousands of Song soldiers away!

The general was shocked, the commander of the army fell into the hands of the enemy, he hurriedly left a part of the Song soldiers symbolically re-stationed in Nanle City, and he led the army back to the garrison and quickly reported the news to Yao Gu, who was in the Daimyo Mansion, and at the same time, this matter also quickly spread to all parts of the Song realm.

When Yao Gu got the news, the Xia and Liao armies had also learned about it, and everyone was shocked without exception after learning the news, in addition to being shocked that Zheng Xiunian had been captured, but also shocked by the way the Tiandao Army broke through Nanle City, and after this road word of mouth, adding oil and vinegar to the depiction, there were even rumors that Zheng Linfeng got the help of the heavenly god soldiers, and that day during the war, a god suddenly descended from the sky, which was the god in charge of the heavenly thunder, known as the thunder god, It was he who helped Zheng Linfeng to attract four heavenly thunders from the sky to Nanle City, and knocked down all the four walls of Nanle City, which made Zheng Linfeng capture Nanle City effortlessly!

There are many more such and even more outrageous rumors.

Yao Gu naturally didn't believe this kind of rumor, if the thief really had such divine power, then what kind of strength would he have in this battle? Directly invited 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals from the world to destroy the whole world, but he didn't believe it, but some people believed it, and the people and even the army were crazy circulating, saying that the Great Song Dynasty was exhausted and provoked the anger of the heavens, which was that God didn't help the Great Song Dynasty.

Yao Gu knew the harm of this kind of rumor, he immediately ordered a strict ban on this kind of similar rumors, if anyone dares to bewitch the public will be severely punished, at the same time, Yao Gu also knows the serious consequences of Zheng Xiunian's capture, Zheng Xiunian is the commander of the three armies, no one knows better than him about the Song army and the Liao and Xia armies of all kinds of detailed military information, if this information falls into the hands of the thieves, it will inevitably have unpredictable consequences for this battle, will the thieves miss these information? No! They will definitely use both hard and soft to coerce Zheng Xiunian to say everything he knows!

Thinking of Zheng Xiunian's weak and weak appearance, Yao Gu was very skeptical about whether Zheng Xiunian could abide by his integrity and keep secrets.

At the same time, it is also necessary to consider what kind of impact this incident will have on the Xia and Liao armies.

How ridiculous is it that the commander of the army was captured by the enemy before the war began? How will Liao and Xia react? Not to mention anything else, at least the Xia and Liao armies will doubt the strength of the Song army because of this, which will then affect their confidence in this battle, even if they still choose to stay and participate in the war for the sake of land, it is very likely that they will cope with the situation and not contribute to the work.

Yao Gu couldn't afford these things, he didn't dare to delay, and on the one hand, he immediately rushed to report the matter to the imperial court for hundreds of miles, and on the other hand, he summoned the main generals overnight to seize the time to reformulate all the action plans and change the military deployment, trying to minimize the possible losses before Zheng Xiunian confessed. On the other hand, he made an appointment with the commanders of the Xia and Liao armies to temporarily stabilize them before the imperial court made a will.

The entire Song army was suddenly in a mess!

But it was at this time that Uncle Zhang and his entourage arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion as scheduled.

If in normal times, Uncle Zhang came at night, and he came with some will, this is half a minister, not to mention Zheng Xiunian and Yao Gu have to greet and entertain him with hospitality, but now that Zheng Xiunian has been captured, Yao Gu is also as busy as an ant on a hot pot, and he doesn't care about Uncle Zhang so much, Yao Gu just came to see Uncle Zhang in a hurry, received a few wills on the surface, and poured some bitter water on Uncle Zhang, hoping that Uncle Zhang could understand and left in a hurry.

But this happened to be in the arms of Uncle Zhang, who had already learned about Nanle City on the first day he arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, and if it wasn't for the presence of others, he really couldn't help but want to laugh.

Joyfully! It's a pleasure! It made him throw out all the worries and worries that had accumulated over the past few days.

When he learned a few months ago that the imperial court had asked for hundreds of thousands of troops from the Liao and Xia armies on the condition of ceding land, he couldn't help but sweat deeply for Zheng Fei and the Tiandao Army while he was angry, wondering if the Tiandao Army would be able to escape this catastrophe under the combined force of the three kingdoms. But he didn't expect that the commander still continued his tradition of being good at creating miracles, and if he didn't make a move, he would be earth-shattering, and he actually captured the commander of the Song army alive at once!

Uncle Zhang was full of confidence again now, the most impossible thing the commander had done, what difficulties could stump him?

At this time, the chaos between Song Jun and Yao Gu was exactly what Zhang Shuye wanted, the more chaotic Song Jun and Yao Gu were, the more no one could take care of him, suspect him, and let him start the next action smoothly, and he could also take the opportunity to continue to hide the secret letter written by Zhao Huan to Yao Gu, even if the situation changed in the future, he could also use Yao Gu too busy, too complicated environment, etc. as a reason for prevarication.

So, Uncle Zhang immediately took the initiative to see Yao Gu after resting for the night, and said, Lord Yao, the situation is so unfavorable to us now, I, Uncle Zhang, can't stay out of the matter as a messenger, I want to serve the country, please send me to the front line as Lord Yao, and I want to express condolences to the front-line army on behalf of the emperor as a messenger to stabilize the morale of the army.

Yao Gu not only did not have the slightest doubt, but was even very happy, and said secretly, I often heard that Zhang Shuye is a hard bone, just upright in the world, not afraid of the powerful, and even dared to fight with Cai Jing, the minister who once covered the sky with one hand, with his own strength Cai Jing, who had a few ups and downs, and was a well-known loyal minister and Qing official, and now it is true at a glance.

Yao Gu immediately agreed to Zhang Shuye's request, but he didn't dare to send him to the most dangerous place, and only asked him to go to Zongcheng, which is not far from here, to comfort the front-line soldiers, Zongcheng is still more than 100 miles away from the front-line Nanle City, and it is located in the layers of protection of the front-line army, so there should be no problems.

Uncle Zhang happily agreed at night, and insisted on setting off immediately!

Yao Gu was even more moved, and sent a team of personal soldiers subordinate to him to protect his safety.

In this way, on the same day, Uncle Zhang set off again and went straight to the frontline Zongcheng.

To make a long story short, Uncle Zhang arrived in Zongcheng successfully one day later, but the hardship and heavy life of the people he saw along the way made his mood very heavy, and he was even more angry that it was already a national disaster.

Uncle Zhang has strengthened his confidence in taking this road, and only those who truly love the people like children are worthy of sitting in this world!

When he arrived in Zongcheng, Zhang Shuye first inspected the armaments of the Song army in a decent manner, but after the inspection, he asked to get closer to the front line, saying that compared with here, the soldiers on the front line needed more encouragement from the imperial court.

The officers who escorted Uncle Zhang were in trouble, they were only ordered to send Uncle Zhang here, and the more dangerous it would be, if something went wrong, they couldn't afford it.

Uncle Zhang's face sank and asked, "You are so secretive that you don't let this official go to the front line, but what kind of tricks are you doing?" Could it be that your Lord Yao is not in charge of the war, and now the front line is actually in chaos, so you don't want this official to see it? That's not going to work! In this case, this official must be seen, this official is a messenger, representing the emperor, and this official will now inspect the front line on behalf of the emperor! Tell you, if there is really a problem on the front line, don't say that you Lord Yao, you are guilty of bullying the king in the first place! ”

The faces of the officers changed all of a sudden, and this big hat was not lightly buttoned! Then one by one they were so frightened that they hurriedly agreed to come down, the front line is very good, isn't it just to take a look at the front line? Can't we say yes? Don't scare us.

The officers quickly summed up again, okay, let him go, we also have three hundred horsemen, if the situation is not right, it is a big deal to take him back desperately, and it will not be good to think about it.

In this way, Uncle Zhang instantly turned against the guest and went straight to the front line under the protection of three hundred horsemen.

And when they were still more than 20 miles away from the first line of Nanle City, they saw a team of 2,000 horsemen coming from the mainland, and from the outfit and flag, it seemed to be a part of the forbidden army of the Beijing Division.

Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he immediately ordered to meet him to see whose team it was, and the people guarding him did not suspect him, so they followed honestly.

Then, as the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and when they could almost see the expressions of both sides clearly, one of Yao Gu's pro-soldier officers suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted, "Stop!" Something is wrong, how come I have never met them? And also...... When did the Jingshi gang have such a huge cavalry? ”

Uncle Zhang gritted his teeth after hearing this, and without hesitation, he suddenly rode his horse and rushed straight to the "Beijing Forbidden Army"! And the "Jingshi Forbidden Army" also seemed to have discussed it with Zhang Shuye, and instantly opened an opening in the middle of the team to put him in, and then before Yao Gu's personal soldiers could react, this "Jingshi Forbidden Army" launched an attack on them without saying a word, surrounding them layer by layer!

However, these pro-soldiers of Yao Gu are worthy of being Yao Gu's die-hard loyalists, and they are also the elites of the Northwest Army, and after the panic of the initial attack gradually subsided, they quickly adjusted, and they also saw that Zhang Shuye must have a problem, and they all resisted desperately in a vain attempt to break through and report back to Yao Gu

Although Uncle Zhang couldn't bear it when he saw this, he could only order them all to be wiped out!

The battle ended quickly, Yao Gu's 300 personal soldiers were killed cleanly, and then, leaving their corpses, Zhang Shuye and this "Beijing Division Forbidden Army" immediately left here, and the scene quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

With Zhang Shuye, the Qin messenger, the "Beijing Forbidden Army" never had any problems, and directly and smoothly passed through the defense line of the Song army and entered the territory of the Tiandao Army, and then everyone changed into the military uniforms of the Song Army, restored the uniform of the Independent Army, and then rushed all the way to Weizhou.

A few days later, Uncle Zhang was successfully escorted to Weizhou, and was secretly and ceremoniously welcomed by Zheng Fei, after some greetings, Zheng Fei smiled and told Uncle Zhang that since he left Tokyo, his family has been under the protection of the secret agent of the Heavenly Dao Army, and just received the secret guarantee yesterday, his family has successfully escaped from Tokyo, and has lurked in an absolutely safe place at this moment.

Uncle Zhang was very happy, and finally let go of the last trace of worries, he just remembered one thing after thanking Zheng Fei, only to see that he immediately returned to the horse, took a brocade box from the saddle and handed it to Zheng Fei's hand,

"This is the secret letter that Zhao Huan wrote to Yao Gu!"

Zheng Fei's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand to take it, although the brocade box can only be opened with a special key, but it can only be used to prevent gentlemen, Zheng Fei handed it to Li Sangen next to him, Li Sangen took out a dagger and warped it along the gap in the brocade box, and the brocade box opened in response, only to see that there was indeed a letter inside.

Zheng Fei picked up the letter and unfolded it, but it didn't take long for him to read it, and his face was already full of deep ...... of dismay!
