Chapter 579: The Tree Falls Down
At the end of April, the Liangshan army broke through Yan'an. Li Hui, a member of the Privy Council, burned the treasury of Yan'an and led the army to retreat to Dunzhou.
The news flew to the Guanzhong, and the Jingzhao Mansion did not mention it, and Tongzhou and Huazhou were in an uproar first. Thirty or forty thousand western troops guarding fortified cities like Yan'an can be lost in ten months, is there any heavenly reason? Encore security in Dunzhou, Fangzhou and other places?
If the Liangshan army reached Chang'an City, the back roads of the military horses in Tongguan and Tongzhou would be cut off.
Hearing this, Liu Fa was shocked, and first hurriedly transferred troops! At present, the Wu Jue and Wu Lin brothers under Sun Zhaoyuan were urgently transferred, these two brothers were originally under Zhao Ming, and they were left to take care of the family, and now they are transferred to Sun Zhaoyuan by Liu Fa. He also promoted Ma Changyou to be the deputy chief of soldiers and horses, supervised Du Chang, Xia Jiao and other generals, and led the army to Fangzhou.
In the city of Huazhou, panic is spreading everywhere. The Liang Shanjun in front of them had already told them to be calm. Because of the natural danger of Tongguan, Liang Shanjun couldn't get over at all. But the Liangshan Army on this north road is different, as soon as Yan'an is broken, the gateway to Guanzhong is wide open.
How can this not make Zhao Song's fans panic?
Now there is a rumor spreading rapidly in Huazhou City, and the rumor is that Liu Fa is going to lead troops to retire to Chang'an. The causes and consequences are so vivid that people have to believe them.
Because this Tongguan and Tongzhou really can't be compared with Chang'an. Once the latter is lost, the former becomes rootless duckweed. And keeping Chang'an and trying to recover Guanzhong is a safe strategy.
This news has spread all over Huazhou City, but the government has not come forward to refute the rumors, which is not true and true.
Late at night, Huazhou City, which was still a little glorious at night, was quieted down early because of the news of the Liangshan army, although the government did not declare a curfew and martial law.
Li Mida came out of the state government, and when he stepped out of the threshold, he almost fell. This puzzled his entourage who had served him for many years. Although his own prime minister is from Wenchen, his body has always been very good, not to mention going up to the mountains to fight tigers and going to the sea to capture dragons, but when he is in a hurry, he can also kill people with knives desperately. How do you look like you've hollowed out your body?
"Xianggong, don't you care, right?" Holding Li Mida, the entourage asked with concern.
Li Mida shook his head, immediately turned over and got on his horse, and then instructed the human: "Go and pack your luggage and rush to Tongzhou overnight." After thinking about it, he seemed to think of something again, hesitated for a moment, and beckoned. The entourage hurriedly clung to it, but heard Li Mida say softly: "Go to the Wangjia Hotel in the north of the city to get a pot of Fenjiu, and tell the shopkeeper that I went to Tongzhou." After finishing speaking, he led the guards to pat the horse and leave.
When he arrived at the residence, the entourage had not yet returned, and Li Mida leaned back in the circle chair a little weakly. Who would have thought that he would be sent to Tongzhou by the tribe, wouldn't this collide with Li Yanxian?
Do you want two people to share a credit?
It's a pity that he has done in Chang'an City, and it's a pity that he has made great contributions.
Now there is only one way, that is, before he has even arrived in the same state, Li Yanxian has already launched it first. In this way, he had an excuse to flee back to Chang'an City......
Now it's up to the man to hurry up. Liu Fa wanted him to travel overnight.
Let's say that Li Yanxian here received the news from Huazhou Flying Pigeon, and his heart was really like a dog. This Li Mida was sent here by Liu Fa so that he couldn't die, and the two of them were really a failure.
Looking at the words on the message, this is also a method. I have led troops to Tongzhou for such a long time, and I am more familiar with people on weekdays, but I am not fooling around.
Then he sent a message to the other side, and he went to the other side with a gourd tied to his body. The two sides communicated, and Tang Bin and Li Yingxia on the other side secretly mobilized troops and horses.
After dawn, Li Yanxian also sent someone to go straight to the neighboring officer Wang Qi, invited Wang Qi to come, treated him with wine, and slowly said: "The court is dark, the general trend has fallen, and it is beyond the support of one tree." Although the general and I have exhausted our blood and sweat, who knows? If he wins, the people above have done their work; and if you fall, you will blame us. The boy once heard: Good birds choose trees to perch, but they must do it when they see the opportunity. ”
Although this Wang Qi is also a general of the Western Army, he offended Wang Yi, the commander of Xihe, who was filled by Liu Fa after he was promoted to the Sixth Route Strategy, and was originally a Xihe Road transfer envoy. This Wang Yifei is a military general, this is normal, Zhao Song has been using literature to control martial arts for a long time. But this is not so normal in Xihe Road, because there is already such an example as Liu Fa here.
In addition to Liu Fa, there are also large and small species, which are all made by any of them.
At the same time, the Western army has been heavy recently, and the Song family has to rely on it, so it will naturally have to pay the price. The big and small species are either captains or privy envoys, even Liu Yanqing is a captain, and Liu Fa is even more of a six-way person. This invisibly made the generals of the Western Army more energetic.
Now the imperial court regards Wang Yi as the commander of Xihe Road, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of some officers in the country, and Wang Qi is one of them.
And the extremely bad luck is that he let out nonsense after getting drunk and drunk, but he listened to Wang Yi in his ears. Li Yanxian knew the inside story, otherwise he would not be the first to come to Wang Qi.
There is no need for a heavy hammer to sound the drum, so Wang Qi's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it, but he said: "General Li is bad!" We are deeply favored by the country, and we should repay it with death. There is no merit or no merit, and it is not compared. Although the land thieves have many soldiers and generals, we only hold the pass here, and the Yellow River moat, how can we fly across? In addition, Liu Xianggong coordinates the overall situation, and the outcome is unknown. ”
Li Yanxian's heart immediately settled, "Yes." The Great Song Dynasty is inherited from each other, and the grace is in the hearts of the people. Today, the world is swaying, and there will be heroes and kings in the world. The land thieves went deep alone, and they didn't plan it. ”
Wang Qi also laughed and said: "General Li's words are true gold and stone." We have received the emperor's grace and should work together to make a name for ourselves! The two of them drank and talked happily, and if it was really the words that came out of their mouths, then they were serving a pair of loyal ministers and good generals. But in fact, they already had a number of words written on their desks.
If so, on the night of the same day, Li Mi Da had just arrived from Tongguan to Chaoyi County in Tongzhou, and Tang Bin and Li Ying on the other side of the river made a feint to attack the west bank of the Yellow River during the day, and at night it was still endless, and Li Yanxian and Wang Qi attacked.
In an instant, the camp was on fire, and the shouts of killing shook the ground.
But it was Li Yanxian and Wang Qibu who had already raised their knives and guns to kill the main general Liu Ji. This person is a Shu person, who was a transfer envoy to western Beijing earlier, and is very valued by Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei led Zhao Shu, the king of Su, to escape from Xijing into Guanzhong, and Zhao Shu settled in Chang'an City, Zhang Wei also stayed in Chang'an with his own guilt, but Liu Ji was appointed as the Shaanxi transfer envoy and the chief general of the same state.
Liu Ji was also born in a literati, but he was resolute and able to speak military, and there were also generals such as Hou Chenglin, Qi Ding, and Le Yi under his command, all of whom were born in the Western Army.
That Hou Chenglin saw Li Yanxian rebelling, so that the situation on the west bank of Pujin Bridge was defeated, and he hated it to the core, because Li Yanxian was under his control. At the moment, he scolded angrily: "Good you traitor! How to seduce the rebellious and rebellious court! After that, he lifted the bamboo double whip and hit Li Yanxian.
Li Yanxian is also a brave person, in the history of the only Shaanzhou for more than two years, led the army and people of Shaanzhou City to fight more than 200 times, repeatedly defeated the Jin soldiers, so that the Jin soldiers could not drive straight in. After the defeat of King Qin, the Western Army of Zhao and Song Dynasty was able to get a breath and take a breath, which made a great contribution. Otherwise, it was Zhang Jun, who was ambitious and talented, who wanted to launch the Battle of Fuping, and the Western Army had no soldiers and horses.
Li Yanxian was in the official history, and he also defended Sanzui Mountain as a stone trench captain, and the main force of the Jin soldiers attacked Li Yanxian's department. There was a fierce Jin general standing in front of the cottage and scolding loudly, Li Yanxian shook his head, rushed down the cottage single-handedly, captured him alive with lightning speed, and carried him back to the mountain, and the two armies were dumbfounded.
The current rebellion, even though he was a little ashamed, easily took Hou Chenglin's double whip with a gun. Qi Ding came to help in the battle, and Li Yanxian was one against two, and he did not fall behind at all. At this moment, the Liangshan army took a big raft and crossed the Yellow River and came all over the mountains.
The Song army was in chaos, and it was night, only panic, but no courage, not to mention that they knew that Yan'an had been lost. At the moment, where did I still have the heart to resist, and I took it off in a panic.
