Wang Anzhong's attendant was a little bold, seeing that the official seal was taken away, he stood up and wanted to snatch it back, but he was put on his chest with a knife by two people, and he couldn't move.

A soldier took out the yellow and square official seal of Yanshan Mansion from the package and handed it to the person at the head. The man at the head of the house held the seal button in one hand, checked it in his hand, looked back and forth, and read it aloud: "Yanshan Mansion Seal ......" smiled and said to the soldiers beside him: "This good dream of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, we beat down Yanjing City, let them give it a few days, and even this official seal has been made." The soldiers next to him were laughing. The leader said to Wang Anzhong: "I think you must have come to prepare to be a big official?" But why don't you go in a hurry? ”

Wang Anzhong is very proud of himself, this man ignored him just now, and now of course he will not pay attention to him. The man's face sank, and he said, "This Yanjing place, how can you rule it with a single seal letter in the Southern Dynasty?" You must know that since you are not a bride, then the sedan chair should not be made by you - go back and tell your emperor that he will not have to do it again! After speaking, he casually threw the official seal to Wang Anzhong, and sent someone to escort these people across the boundary river.

Although Wang Anzhong was ridiculed, but seeing that these reckless men actually returned the official seal to himself, he was happier than picking up a life, and the group rode to the Jiehe River, and there were already several rafts by the river, so Wang Anzhong and others were driven to the raft and sent across the river. Wang Anzhong was still waiting for the horses, but the raft had already swung away and left the south bank to go back.

Wang Anzhong was angry, and with the support of several attendants, he finally rushed to Xiongzhou. In fact, along the way, Wang An and others were not lonely, and all the way through, they were all Song soldiers who fled back from the north.

This time, Liu Yanqing's military appearance was quite neat, at least there was no change from before the departure - they were all infantry troops without armor and weapons. This time, when the north side of the Jiehe River passed through the Guancheng of the Wansheng Army, a simple search was made and let it come, and the most unlucky were the soldiers who came back from Yanjing with gold and silver treasures all the way, guarding all the way, and when they arrived here, they were still robbed by the Wansheng Army.

Wang Anzhong followed these listless defeated troops into Xiongzhou City, and went straight to the post house, but he still had the official seal of Dou Da as a certificate, first boiled hot water and took a bath, and then got some hot soup and hot rice to eat, and a few people felt relieved. At this time, Tong Guan heard that Wang Xuanfu's envoy had also arrived in the city, so he naturally rushed to meet him.

In fact, Tong Guan was not out of etiquette, but anxious to know what happened in Yanjing City. Liu Yanqing would naturally report to him in detail about the defeat of the defenders of the city, but he wanted to hear more, at least he had to understand how Wang Anzhong, as a Xuanfu envoy, viewed this defeat, so that he could write to the official family.

"Humph! When you go back, you only ask Liu Yanqing, it's just a group of bandits! Military discipline is corrupt, his subordinates are plundering, and the commander is also enjoying his success, since ancient times, there is no one who can stand on the right! Thinking of the gold and silver gifts in his inner room that he didn't have time to look at carefully, and then thinking of how Liu Yanqing's men searched the city all night the night before, Wang Anzhong's anger couldn't be restrained, "I don't know how those people learned that there was a great chaos in the city, and the east gate had just sent the emperor away, and the west gate had killed the soldiers." "Let's have a book

Tong Guan couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "In this way, those soldiers came quickly, and they came even more strangely!" ”

Wang Anzhong said casually: "Who said it wasn't?!" I still don't know where the soldiers came from, but there is no warning. ”

Tong Guan couldn't help but think about it: It is said that south of Yanshan, there are no soldiers for a long time, so when Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi leave, they will naturally take all the soldiers and horses away, and I am afraid that even the guards will not leave Concubine Xiao De. As far as he knew, there was no place in Yanjing to accommodate so many soldiers and horses. What's more, I just asked the soldiers who fled back, and they all said that when they attacked outside the city, there were also soldiers in the city who made a rebellion, and it was precisely because of the soldiers in the city that they drove Liu Yanqing and others out of the city, and then they gave the people a blow to take down Yanjing City.

Now it is useless to investigate Liu Yanqing's mistake in defeating the army, for him Tong Guan, the most important thing now is how to clear up the loss of the city with himself and retreat as soon as possible. Now Emperor Maode has been to Yanjing City, this Wang Anzhong has also been to Yanjing City, and when he lost Yanjing City, Liu Yanqing was stationed in Yanjing - he had to clear it earlier in order to save himself. Tong Guan had already begun to write a manuscript for Zhao Ji in his heart

But this time I have to go back to Beijing anyway, and I have been here for almost a year, except for eating and drinking dew and eating some wind and sand, the rest is to be afraid. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little, I'm afraid that if you stay any longer, you will be forgotten by the officials.

Wang Anzhong said angrily: "Tong Xuanfu, if there is nothing to do, this will be goodbye." It turned out that Wang Anzhong had already instructed the post house to prepare carriages and horses, so that he could rush back to the capital overnight to meet the emperor. Wang Anzhong has been an official for many years, and he knows that he is the Xuanfu envoy of Yanshan Mansion, although he is a civil official, and the loss of Yanjing City has little to do with him, but he doesn't want to be implicated in it, so he has to rush back to Kaifeng overnight and cry to the emperor first.

"Take care all the way." Tong Guan did not stop him, and returned to his Xuanshuai Mansion after bidding farewell to Wang Anzhong. immediately went to the inner room study, and without waiting for Liu Yanqing to come and report to him, he wrote it himself. It's just talking about how he will follow His Majesty's will, work hard, and finally recover Yanjing. Emperor Mao De and Wang Anzhong's Xuanfu Mission has recently spread holy virtues in Yanjing City, and the people of Li in all directions are grateful for His Majesty's favor. However, "Liu Yanqing did not restrain his subordinates strictly, and the troops plundered everywhere, causing the people to be angry; Outside the army came to attack the city, but the city was broken and defeated, and it was out of control. When the minister heard the news and wanted to rush to the aid of Yanjing, he had seen Xuanfu make Wang An and others return to the north. Han Shiqiao was the prime minister for a hundred years, and although the minister was lucky, he repaid His Majesty's grace; If you miss it quickly, you won't wait for a moment of help. This is the sin of the honest minister! Although there is no redemption for a hundred deaths, and fear is all day, I hope that Your Majesty will think of the Holy Communion. The guilty minister Guan Xiongzhou wept books. Tong Guan deliberately wrote the word "Xiongzhou" at the end, just to remind Zhao Ji that he was far away in Xiongzhou, and the matter of Yanjing had nothing to do with him.

After Tong Guan finished writing, he read it again to see that there were no omissions, so he put it aside and began to write another letter. This secret letter was written at random, but the Yanjing change was described in detail, and it also showed that the troops were coming very strongly, at this time Liu Yanqing had been defeated by the whole army, the situation did not change, and the Northern Expedition had become a chicken rib. I hope to be able to remind him by the official's side, and let him return to Beijing as soon as possible.
