Xingzhou City was defeated, and the soldiers below all had excited expressions, but Zhao Zhen and others at the top were heavy-faced, and the defenders in the city were only 10,000 at most, and even the party nobles in the city did not see a few, and after the city lord's mansion was defeated, only a few party nobles were caught.

"Bring people in!" In the city lord's mansion, Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and commanded downward, and Cao Yu, Zhou Mei and others next to him also immediately sat up straight, Li Yuanhao's whereabouts are still clueless, fortunately, they have caught a few important people, but they can interrogate them.

After a while, I saw several recruits escorting two party nobles into the house, the leader of which was a middle-aged man in his forties, short and stout, with a beard on his face, and a fierce light in his eyes, while next to him was a young man in his twenties, tall and thin, very strong, but these two people were now all tied up with flowers, and they were also injured in many places, obviously after fierce resistance when they were arrested.

"Wei Ming Mountain, Liupan Mountain has been separated for a few years, I didn't expect that we would be in this situation when we want to meet again!" I saw that when Zhao Zhen saw the middle-aged man who was escorted, he also showed a mocking smile on his face and said, he also fought with the party members, and he also knew the middle-aged man in front of him, the other party was Li Yuanhao's uncle Wei Mingshan, and the two sides also fought in Liupan Mountain, Zhao Zhen even suffered a little loss at that time, and today he finally took revenge.

"Hmph, you Great Song Dynasty fought without declaring war, and shamelessly sent troops to attack our party, and destroyed countless tribes of our party and clan along the way, aren't you known as benevolent and righteous, it's shameless!" Wei Mingshan saw Zhao Zhen, but he immediately opened his mouth and scolded angrily.

"Hehe, we're shameless?" Zhao Zhen sneered at this time, "Your party invades my Great Song border every year, but has you ever declared war in advance?" And how much food have you looted over the years, do you still need me to tell you? ”

"General, if you have anything to say with this kind of barbarian, you can just hand it over to me, and promise to let him spit out all the things he knows!" At this time, only a sharp voice was heard.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a white face, although he had a smile on his face, but there was a little gloomy in his smile, and he looked very uncomfortable, this person was Huang Dehe, the eunuch of the supervising army in Zhao Zhenjun, although there was no civilian official as the main general in this expedition, but there was a supervising army, but compared with the civilian official, the eunuch who was the supervising army generally would not interfere with the command of the general, unless the main general wanted to rebel, then the supervising army would have the right to take over the military power, of course, if the main general really wanted to rebel, the first one to kill was the supervising army.

"Huang Jianjun doesn't have to worry, if the other party doesn't say that we will be tortured again, it's not too late." Zhao Zhen coughed dryly at the moment and said, Huang Dehe and this prison army have no big problems, it is nothing more than greed for money, which is also a common problem of eunuchs, but in addition, Huang Dehe is still a master of torture, it is said that he used to do this in the palace, as long as the prisoners of war fall into his hands, it is an extravagant hope to even fall into a whole corpse in the end.

"Wei Mingshan Yu, we are still fated, I will give you a chance, you explain Li Yuanhao's whereabouts, I will not embarrass you, how about it?" At this time, Zhao Zhen turned to Wei Ming Mountain again.

"You guys are dead to this heart, we will never tell you the whereabouts of Your Majesty to these lackeys of the Song Kingdom!" didn't wait for Wei Mingshan to speak, but the sturdy young man next to him scolded angrily.

"Who are you?" Zhao Zhen was not angry at this time, but looked at the other party with interest.

"I am Yeli Wangrong, today you break through Xingzhou City, His Majesty will definitely take the party and iron cavalry, and break through Tokyo City to avenge our hatred!" I saw this Yeli Wangrong shouting frantically, if it wasn't for the recruit next to him holding him down, maybe he would pounce and bite Zhao Zhen and the others.

As soon as Yeli Wangrong's voice fell, he saw that Cao Yu was the first to speak and mocked: "Hahahaha~, who should I be, it turns out that you are Li Yuanhao's brother-in-law, but your Yeli Department is really greedy, in order to win over power, you actually married your sister to Li Yuanhao, a guy who is not a human and a ghost, it is really difficult for your sister!" ”

Hitting people without slapping in the face, Cao Mata's words can be described as the weakness of Nori Wangrong, but I saw Nori Wangrong roar frantically again, and actually broke open the arms of the two recruits and rushed towards Cao Mata, but before he could pounce on Cao Mata, he was kicked to the ground by Cao Mata, after all, Noli Wangrong's arms were tied, if Cao Mata could still be close to the other party, it would be a big joke.

"The temper is not small, then there will be Lao Huang Prison Army!" Zhao Zhen saw that Yeli Wangrong still wanted to resist at this time, and he was also a little angry at the moment.

Huang Dehe was also overjoyed here, and then stood up and said: "Don't bother, don't bother, this guy will be handed over to me, and I'll let him explain how many bowls of rice he ate last night!" ”

After Huang Dehe finished speaking, he hurried down with Yeli Wangrong, and the other people in the hall showed sympathy for Yeli Wangrong, and it was better to fall into the hands of Huang Dehe and this kind of eunuch who took pleasure in torturing people, it was better to die in battle.

"Wei Mingshanyu, if you also want to see the methods of the Huang Jian Army, I don't mind sending you over." At this time, Zhao Zhen turned his gaze to Wei Mingshan Yu again and asked.

Although Wei Mingshan Yu looks rude, he is not a stupid person, although he was ready to die when he decided to stay, but he didn't want to be tortured and humiliated before he died, and at this time, Li Yuanhao should have been far away from Xingzhou City, so it didn't matter if he told Zhao Zhen about them.

Thinking of this, Wei Mingshan sneered and said: "It's okay to tell you, Your Majesty has withdrawn in the direction of the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, if you have the guts, chase after it!" ”

When hearing the name of the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, Zhao Zhen and others were all frowning, although Li Yuanhao did not completely unify the party items, but occupied most of the territory, in order to facilitate the rule, he divided the party under the rule into several military divisions, of which the Montenegro Weifu Military Division is located in the northernmost part, close to the border between the Liao State and the party item, where the party people are also stationed with heavy troops, mainly to guard against the Liao State.

However, in recent years, Li Yuanhao has been very close to the Liao State, and even heard that he still wants to marry the Liao State, but the new and old emperors of the Liao State have alternated, and there has been no reply for the time being, but now Li Yuanhao has fled to the border of the Liao State, if the Song army chases after him, it may cause the dissatisfaction of the Liao State, and you must know that the Liao State also has a large army stationed on the border of the party.

"Hahahaha~, you Song Guo is really a soft egg, and you can only bully a small tribe like our party, but when you meet the Liao State, you are so scared that you don't even dare to approach the border, it's ridiculous!" Seeing the solemn expressions of Zhao Zhen and the others, Wei Mingshan Yu laughed heartily and said, the reason why Li Yuanhao fled to the north was that he knew that the Great Song Dynasty would not dare to chase after him easily.

"Hmph, take him down and keep him under strict guard!" Zhao Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to Wei Mingshan, and immediately ordered directly, and the soldiers on both sides immediately agreed, and then dragged Wei Mingshan down.

"Guys, what do you think about this?" Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment before he asked the generals in the hall, Li Yuanhao fled to the border of Liao, whether they chased or not, and what the next strategic plan was, these were no longer up to him alone.

"General, we have to cut the grass to get rid of the roots, we have already hit Xingzhou City, if I just let Li Yuanhao flee like this, I am really unwilling, and the Liao State is now in civil strife, I am afraid that I will not dare to conflict with us at all!" Cao Mata was young and vigorous, and he was the first to say at the moment, and his words were also approved by many young generals.

However, several veterans present did not speak, and after a while, I saw Zhou Mei stand up and say: "General, our labor expedition, the soldiers are exhausted, and it is winter again, in case of heavy snow blocking the road, I am afraid that the contact with the rear will be broken, so I think the most important thing now is to consolidate the results of the battle, first control the south of Xingzhou City, so that Li Yuanhao will also lose half of the territory, and his strength will be greatly weakened, and it will not be too late to slowly plan it in the future!" ”

"What General Zhou said is extremely true, the so-called poor Kou Mo chases, Li Yuanhao gave up Xingzhou, maybe he just wants us to chase over, so as to lengthen our supply line, and then he will have the possibility of turning the tables!" General Guo Zun also agreed at this time, although he is famous for his martial arts, he is not a martial artist with a head full of muscles, otherwise he would not have achieved his current position.

For these two opinions, Zhao Zhen also feels reasonable, but intellectually, he is more inclined to Zhou Mei and Guo Zun's opinions, after all, their initial strategic goal is to capture Xingzhou City, as for whether to capture Li Yuanhao is not the first goal, and now that he has been fighting for so long, the soldiers are tired and the material consumption is also great, and it is really risky to chase it down, Cao Yu These young people have good momentum, but he can't be impulsive as the main general.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen finally made a decision: "Pass on my military order, the whole army will be stationed in Xingzhou City, and at the same time quickly report the battle situation to the imperial court, and the imperial court will decide this matter!" ”

After all, it will take a long time for the war report to arrive in the capital and wait for the order from the imperial court.

Urgent foot delivery is the eight hundred miles of the Great Song Dynasty, although the name is a little frustrated, but the speed is not frustrated at all, the messenger who transmits the message is in a hurry day and night, changing people and horses, and the pedestrians, cars and horses on the official road must immediately dodge when they encounter this kind of messenger, otherwise they will die in vain.

Half a month later, the good news of Xingzhou City was finally sent to the capital, and when Zhao Zhen received this good news, he immediately convened the ministers to discuss it, although Zhao Zhen defeated Xingzhou, but it gave the court a problem.
