Chapter 844: The Mansion Has Fallen, Master Li's Last Appearance
In the city of Wuzhou, the sun is high and the weather is rare. *Follow* Dream *Little* Said .com the still decaying Seed Master Dao, under the service of his grandson Chong Yanchong, got up and changed his clothes, and went to the hall tremblingly, he was going to see Liu Yanqing, who came to visit.
Although it is a 'change of dynasty', the lives of the ancestors of the Cultivator Dao have not been affected at all, not only that, but they have also been given preferential treatment by Lu Qi.
After all, the old race is well-known and has a huge influence in the Western Army, and now the main veins of the Western Army have been integrated into the Qi Army. Besides, the small species is already working for the Qi army, but it is too far away, and Emperor Lu can send An Daoquan to specifically condition the old species.
Liu Yanqing was a captured person, but the family did not choose to resist at the last moment, and wrote a letter to his son Liu Guangguo early. At the same time, one of his sons, Liu Guangyuan, also followed the people from the Espionage Department directly from Dali to Sichuan and Shu......
Therefore, at this moment, Liu Yanqing is also living a very free and nourishing life.
The latter was dressed in a lilac robe, and his body no longer had the majesty and arrogance raised on the battlefield back then, just like an ordinary civil landlord. The physique is still strong, but it doesn't feel powerful at all.
If it is said that even if the master is seriously ill, it is a tiger that will not fall, and Liu Yanqing is already a wasted person, and he is a waste of words for people at their level. The face of the seed master showed sadness, Liu Yanqing completely lost his fighting spirit, this is Zhao Song's greatest sorrow.
A dignified and high-ranking official, just like the Minister of Defense of later generations, such a high-ranking and powerful figure has no confidence in the regime to which he is loyal, and he is not willing to fight for it at all, not because he has no feelings for Zhao Song, but because he decided early that Zhao Song will be defeated.
This is a real traitor. He even happily let go of the pain of killing his son and wrote a letter to his eldest son. That's a bullshit letter, and the letter of persuasion is pretty much the same.
In the history of China, there are very few people like Zheng Chenggong. Not everyone can turn against their father for the sake of loyalty. What's more, Liu Guangguo's kid is already slippery......
Seed Master Dao and Liu Yanqing are both foxes who have cultivated for thousands of years, and no one wants to fool anyone. The sadness in the eyes of the seed master made Liu Yanqing quite embarrassed and sad, but the eldest brother did not talk about the second brother. If you are really loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, why did you keep Chong Yanchong by your side at the last moment? Look at Xu Huiyan.
To be honest, Liu Yanqing initially looked down on Xu Huiyan. Although the martial arts of that guy are strong, one was born in the Western Army, and the other was born in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. When the latter followed Li Heng to emerge, the military circle of the Great Song Dynasty was still the world of the Western Army, how could there be Xu Huiyan's appearance?
And when the world changed, when Xu Huiyan became the pillar of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yanqing had already withdrawn from the political stage at that time. At that time, Xu Huiyan was still an ungodly martial artist in his heart.
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Huiyan could do something 'rebellious'. Directly defeated Geng Nanzhong and seized political rights by force, this courage is really beyond Liu Yanqing's imagination.
Liu Yanqing underestimated Xu Huiyan at that time, thinking that Xu Huiyan was just doing this to sell himself at a good price, and if he didn't resist the offensive of the Qi army, how could Lu Qi realize his value?
Just like what Wu Yong said to Song Jiang in the original book of Water Margin: Brother, you are obsessed, and Zhao'an must have his own day. How to blame the brothers for being angry, the court does not think of people. Now the gossip is stacked, the elder brother and the general's order, the horse army ties the horses, the infantry arranges the weapons, and the navy reorganizes the ships. Sooner or later, a large army will come to conquer, and one or two battles will kill others, and the armor will not return, and they will be afraid of dreams, but they will discuss it again at that time.
In Liu Yanqing's view, Xu Huiyan was trying to show his muscles at that time, so that he could sell himself at a better price.
Unfortunately, he was wrong again. He really underestimated Xu Huiyan. Xu Huiyan is a real man!
It seems to be a 'great rebellion', but in fact it is brave and loyal.
In the current Liu Yanqing's view, the reason why Xu Huiyan is 'rebellious' is indeed to better prepare for the war. How did literati and writers like Geng Nanzhong understand war? The struggle for power and profit is a good hand, and it is nonsense that the war is left to him to lead.
But this is the tradition of Zhao Song, and Liu Yanqing doesn't look at this rule, but he doesn't have the courage to resist. Xu Huiyan dared.
Liu Yanqing really doesn't treat Xu Huiyan as a chaotic minister and thief. If it was a really chaotic minister and thief, Xu Huiyan would have surrendered to Lu Qi a long time ago, why did he fight to that extent in the war, and still have to defend Guizhou City. Liu Yanqing really admires Xu Huiyan now.
But Xu Huiyan is Xu Huiyan, but he never feels that he is worse than the seed master. Everyone is half a pound and eight taels, and no one can say anyone!
This scene in Wuzhou City was unknown to Liu Qi.
Now Liu Qi's only thought is to take more soldiers away. The Immortal Pass is about to be broken!
Not only is the Immortal Pass about to be broken, but the Rao Feng Pass in the east of the Han Dynasty has already been broken.
Stationed there was Li Kui of Zhixing Yuanfu. The Golden Gun General didn't plan to fight Rao Fengguan to the death, that would cause a big loss, but luck came, and the gods couldn't stop it.
The Qi army attacked Shu in a big way, and many generals in the Song army were already frightened. Li Kui's command had an army general who secretly descended to Xu Ning, let go of the barracks, and led Xu Ning's army to attack the rear of the Song army at night after bypassing the pass from Cicada Creek Ridge, occupying the cottage, and then taking a high view of Rao Fengguan, attacking the back of the Song army with an elite army. The Song army was defeated by the enemy and was forced to retreat, and the rest of the troops retreated to Yunting Mountain, and Li Kui was shot by a stray arrow in the defeated army, leading the defeated soldiers to flee back to Xingyuan Mansion.
Yao Youzhong and Liu Qi, who fought in the Immortal Pass, were both undefeated and defeated.
Besides, Yao and Liu also had a hard time, although the terrain of Xianren Pass was dangerous, they always had to fight with the Qi army. The danger of this mountain is different from the danger of the river, the latter is separated by an insurmountable obstacle by manpower, but the former can be used horizontally and vertically.
And the Song army just couldn't withstand the attack of the Qi army, even though they occupied the terrain, but with the help of artillery and earth-shaking thunder, although the casualties of the Qi army were not small, they could only force the Song army step by step to keep retreating. Even if there is no defeat at Rao Fengguan, the Song army stationed at Xianren Pass will not be able to hold it.
Look at the great victory of Wu Jue's immortal Guan in history!
The Song army was able to stand under the attack of the attack, and the stone cannons, ladders and other artifacts of the Jin army could not exert a suppressive force on the Song army. Even generals such as Wu Lin, Yang Zheng, Wang Xi, and Wang Wu could lead their troops to rush back and forth between the two formations of the Jin army. This is the fundamental reason why Wu Jue won the victory of the Immortal Pass.
At that time, the Song army was able to resist the onslaught of the Jin soldiers, because the Zhao Song Sichuan Shu garrison, which was formed based on the remnants of the Western Army after the Battle of Fuping, only said that it was not weaker than the Jin soldiers in terms of combat power, and had geographical advantages, so although the number was small, it could take advantage of the terrain to defeat the strong with the weak.
But the current Song army has directly lost its most fundamental strength, and its own combat power is inferior to the Qi army, and then there is a disadvantage in morale and weapons, and it is self-evident what the final victory or defeat will be.
But even at this time, Liu Qi and Yao Youzhong had no idea of surrendering to Lu Qi, and they didn't have the slightest idea.
But the house leak happened to rain overnight, and he soon received a bad news - Rao Fengguan was lost. If Liu Qi is beaten on the head, the whole person will be bad. What's even more terrifying is that before he and Yao Youzhong have withdrawn their troops to return to Hanzhong, bad news came from the rear, and Liu Guangguo of Jianzhou raised his army and surrendered to Luqi.
Jianzhou is named after Jianmen Pass.
And the importance of Jianmen Pass to Sichuan and Shu goes without saying. There is the second checkpoint of Chengdu in the north, and after the loss of Xingyuan Mansion [Hanzhong], Jianmen Pass is the last barrier to hold Sichuan and Shu.
As for Yao Pingzhong's introduction of troops, he was responsible for entering Mianzhou, and it was the final fight.
Although the northern border of Mianzhou is also high and dangerous, the peaks are stacked, but there is no danger of the sword gate, if the sword gate is lost, the battle of Mianzhou is the last struggle.
As for why Yao Pingzhong, the 'little captain' in the former Lixi Army, was left in Mianzhou, of course, it was the attention of the great artist. For Yao Youzhonglai, this little lieutenant is obviously not favored by great artists.
The change in Jianzhou was unexpected by the monarchs and ministers of Chengdu, and when the news came, not only did the soldiers and horses on the front line of Xingyuan Mansion be confused, but even Yao Pingzhong felt unbelievable. Liu Guangguo is Liu Yanqing's eldest son, and he has a blood feud with Lu Qi for killing his brother, can he surrender like this?
It is also taking advantage of such an opportunity. The espionage department in Sichuan was quickly launched, and headless posts were posted all over dozens of prefectures and counties overnight, and it was at this time that the common people and gentry in Shu, and even the middle and lower-level officials, learned about the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Coincidentally. And at this juncture, Zhao Ji fainted suddenly, and then he seemed to be seriously injured, lying on the sickbed and losing his energy to even deal with government affairs. The officials in Jinguan City were all panicked and confused.
Then, unexpectedly, the news of Zhao Ji's critical illness spread throughout the city the next day......
What if Zhao doesn't try?
He is not an immortal, and he knows very well in his heart that Zhao Song is finished. It's not that the great artist is seriously ill, it's just the straw that breaks the camel's back. Rather, he died in the loss of the Sword Gate. The current Song army simply did not have the strength to immediately enter the Jianmen powerhouse. On the battlefield of Xingyuanfu, the Qi army has completely occupied the advantage. In such an environment, he has a lot of pride, but it is difficult to turn the tide.
"Da Song is finished?" Master Li is a little in a trance. From her birth to the present, more than 20 years, when her life has just entered the most brilliant and colorful, she has witnessed the end of a dynasty, and she herself has played a small role in it.
"yes. The Great Song is over. Sitting across from her was Yan Qing. When the news of the upheaval came out of Jianzhou, he knew that Zhao Song was going to end. His hind hand in the great artist is only the last straw.
"Li everyone, really don't go to Yidu?" Yan Qing looked at Master Li's gaze with pity. After getting along with each other over the years, he clearly realized the extraordinaryness of Master Li, or he saw the other side of the Qinglou woman. That is in response to Emperor Lu's words, the famous female branch is not only beautiful, but also not only a good actor, but also a woman who is proficient in observing words and feelings, and understands the mind of men.
The Espionage Division needs such talents. It's a pity that this true ambition is not here.
The little girl fell into the dust when she was young, and she couldn't help herself at that time, so she had to go with the flow. Now it's easy to get back to freedom, and I don't want to be involved with officialdom anymore. Brother Xiao Yi stopped paying attention to the little girl again. Master Li laughed softly, after many years of getting along, it is impossible for the two to have feelings, Yan Xiaoyi is a green-headed turtle in the sky, but the two are really friends who know each other.
"Brother Xiaoyi's intelligence is not inferior to others, and there are two Lu Xu behind him to rely on, this time he jumped out of the cage, and he will have a long journey in the future, and the future is unlimited. The little woman will replace the wine with tea and toast you. In the future, if you encounter trouble, you will have to find your door to ask for help, and then Brother Xiaoyi must not forget his old friend. ”
Yan Qing is about to leave Jinguan City, and there is no longer a need for him to sit here, but it is the chaotic Sichuan and Shu places at the moment that are the good things for him to show his skills.
"Li, everyone said that, and they saw the outside. You and I have been friends for many years, which can be described as comrade-in-arms, how can Xiao Yi be a heartless person? Please—" It was as if it were a group of male and female couples.
Yan Qing's face was full of solemnity, and she picked up the teacup and drank it all.
