Khan Huaqiang took the escort team to protect Du Nuhao They Tu Nuhao remembered the map that Emperor Che of Shanzhou showed him, in order to be true and avoid Du Wenhao's suspicion, so he used the real map of the Western Xia border. This is important information. Go back and find out.

The corpses of the little emperor and the unjust horse had fallen into the cracks, but fortunately, the map was unfolded, relatively long, and hung on the bed rail. When I found it, I rolled it up and put it in my arms.

Du Wenhao hung up his crutch skills, took his three daughters, and began to break through under the protection of Xu Huaqiang's escort team.

There are cracks all over the floor, so be careful to avoid them. Once you fall, you are afraid that your life will be in danger.

Rushed to the side of the palace, there are many Western Xia soldiers outside the palace, there are more people, Xu Huaqiang and other guards want to fight, Du Wenhao said: "You can't fight hard." Otherwise, the enemy will show our tracks, and it will be troublesome to flee again. Immediately change into the costume of the Western Xia Army. Mix it up! ”

The ground was littered with soldiers of the Western Xia Army who had been stoned to death by the earthquake. The guards hurriedly changed their clothes. Du Wenhao and the third girl also changed their clothes, holding swords, and shouted along, pretending to search everywhere. Move out covertly.

At this time, there was a flash of light, cracking through the sky, and then, the raindrops of soybeans fell down, and soon, the rain became heavier and heavier, and it became like a pour.

Now, the rain curtain has become their best cover. Even if you're on the other side, it's hard to tell who it is. The guards were well-trained, surrounded Du Wenhao and the four of them in the middle, and under the cover of the rain curtain, they quickly broke away from the palace and got into the ruins.

The earth-shattering earthquake almost razed the entire Xingqing province to the ground, and the surviving refugees were crying everywhere.

The bodies of the injured refugees and the dead who were rescued lay on the ground in a pile of rubble. They have the heart to help, but they are afraid that they will not be able to escape if they save others. You can only pass through with a hard heart.

The city wall also collapsed, becoming a huge pile of rocks, and they climbed over the rocks, stepped on the moat filled with stones, and finally escaped from Xingqing Mansion.

On the way, they encountered a group of Western Xia cavalry, they used the Western Xia military uniforms as a cover, stopped these cavalry, suddenly attacked, annihilated this group of cavalry, grabbed the war horse, and fled south.

Since the regent of Western Xia and the new little emperor Emperor Chongzong have been killed, there are no dragons. The whole of Western Xia was in chaos.

In addition, they wore the uniforms of Western Xia soldiers, so they were not strictly interrogated along the way.

The map that Du Wenhao held was much more detailed than the map mastered by the Great Song Dynasty, and it even indicated the location of the Western Xia army. They had been prepared to be careful to avoid these locations on the way. Strangely, there were no troops in these barracks, not even the people at the gates. The army in the barracks seemed to have steamed overnight.

The more you get to the Song-Xia border, the more obvious this situation becomes.

Du Wenhao really couldn't restrain the curiosity in his heart. sent a few guards and captured a military camp to stay behind the Western Xia soldiers to ask them, only then did they know that the Western Xia army in the military camp had all marched north, preparing to resist the fierce Jurchen Division. Most of the troops originally deployed on the Song-Xia border were transferred north.

Du Wenhao was overjoyed, it was obvious that the Jurchen Ministry's attack on the Great Liao was real, and the Great Liao had collapsed, and the Jurchen Ministry's attack on Western Xia had also begun. Western Xia wanted to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty so that they could deal with the Jurchens with all their might. But the little emperor was so vengeful that he couldn't see that far, only in front of him, so he assassinated himself, probably wanting to push his death to the earthquake, or the riots of the people, so that he could give an account to the Great Song Dynasty. You can only take revenge and be killed.

At present, most of the Western Xia army on the Song-Xia border has been transferred north, which is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now Western Xia has been hit by two major earthquakes. The people in power are all dead, the country is in turmoil, and it is a godsend to send troops at this time. Therefore, Du Wenhao was anxious and wanted to rush back to the Huanzhou Mansion as soon as possible, preparing to lead the Western Expeditionary Army into Western Xia.

All the way through unimpeded, day and night, finally arrived at the border. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Take off your Western Xia military uniform and prepare to cross the blockade.

I saw the battle village from afar, and the war village was built every 500 meters, which was used to advance the battalion step by step. In the battle wall, the lathe crossbow is used as a long-range shooting weapon, the divine arm bow is used as a fire blockade weapon, and a high beacon tower is built for warning. Huge quantities of food and drinking water were hoarded in the War Seres.

Du Wenhao didn't dare to rush over, if he was accidentally injured by the Song army, he would be wronged, so he first asked the guards to shout loudly outside the range to identify themselves.

However, the few who could be seen did not react.

Immediately, Du Wenhao sent two more guards. Walk forward with your hands raised, shouting for yourself as you move towards the Warstop.

Du Wenhao looked at it from a distance and saw that the two were approaching the battle village. But there is still no movement, which is very strange. Then, I saw the two of them enter the gate of the battle village.

After a while, the two came out, and they came out in a hurry, and when they came closer, they were both confused. He asked, "What's wrong?" ”

One of the guards said: "Returning to the country's grandfather, the battle village is empty!" ”

"Empty?" Du Wenhao asked with a glare.

"Yes, there was no one and another guard gasped, "Weapons, equipment, and food are gone, and people are gone." There is only an empty village left, and it is turned into a mess! ”

Du Wenhao, Lin Qingdai, and Wang Runxue glanced at each other. I felt a chill in my back. Du Wenhao ordered several other guards to check on several nearby battle villages.

The guards soon returned, and the result was the same. The battle wall is empty! No one, no weapons. No equipment, no food.

Du Wenhao frowned, and rode his horse to a battle village in front. It's a mess inside. But there was no one Wang Runxue said with a pale face: "Could it be," There are ghosts? They've all been captured by ghosts? ”

Du Wenhao didn't speak, he carefully searched the entire battle village, and there was no bloodstain, which shows that it was not abandoned after being conquered by the enemy, it was probably evacuated, judging from the messy situation, this evacuation was very panicked, why did this happen? Du Wenhao was puzzled. Shen said: "The Song army should have taken the initiative to evacuate. Walk! Let's rush to Huanzhou immediately. Let's see what's going on."

After seeing such a strange scene, everyone stopped talking, their hearts were very heavy, and they galloped forward for more than 100 miles, and finally came to the Songxia border outpost Huanzhou.

It was noon when they arrived outside the city. But when he came to the city, he saw that the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the city tower were bright and vigilant.

Du Wenhao was even more surprised, although Huanzhou is close to the border, but because the border is full of Song troops, there are war jams and war camps, layers of blockades, the Xia army can not come in, so the city gate is open during the day, and the people can enter and exit freely, and now it is noon, how can the city gate be closed? And the city was full of soldiers, ready to meet the enemy. But along the way, there are no enemy troops to be seen, and there is no shadow of the enemy army, so what kind of enemy can you meet? It's weird.

Xu Huaqiang and the guards stepped forward and shouted, "Open the city gate quickly!" Grandpa Du Wenhao is back! ”

Soon, the gates opened.

Xu Hua took the horse back: "Grandpa Guo." Let's go into town! ”

Du Wenhao reined in his horse's head and looked at the city gate suspiciously.

The gates were wide open, but no one came out to meet them. It stands to reason that he is a dignified ruler. You are the grandfather of the country, and the most important thing is to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army. In other words, these soldiers are all under their own command, why did no one come out to greet them?

After waiting for a while, no one in the city came out.

Du Wen said: "Let the soldiers in the city go and call Lu Gongzhu and Qu Zhen quickly!" ”

"Good!" Xu Huaqiang rode his horse to the city and shouted loudly: "Grandpa Guo has an order, let Lu Gongzhu and Qu Zhen go out of the city to greet him!" ”

After a while, one on the city. The general probed out and said in a loud voice: "Lord Lu and General Qu are discussing the military situation. Not empty. Please see you in the city! ”

Xu Huaqiang was so angry that his face turned green, no matter how urgent the military situation is, the commander-in-chief has to greet it. Riding back.

Du Wenhao had already heard the answer from the city. looked at the empty city gate again, and frowned: "The situation is not good!" Be careful, everyone! ”

Xu Huaqiang said: "Let me take the two brothers into the city first, shall we?" ”

Du Wenhao shook his head: "No!" You call Lu Gongzhu and Qu Zhen out of the city again! Let's step back a bit. Get out of range! With that, he reined in his horse's head and walked back.

Xu Huaqiang agreed, rode over, and said to the city general.

At this moment, arrows suddenly rained down on the castle tower. Shoot at them! Lin Qingdai was shocked and shouted, "Wen Hao be careful! Come on! As he spoke, he took out his short sword and helped Du Wenhao to dial the sharp arrow.

Fortunately, everyone got Du Wenhao's warning, and they were already on guard, and immediately drew their long swords to dial.

Du Wenhao didn't have this ability, so he lowered his head and shouted: "Retreat!" "With two feet between the horse's belly, the war horse galloped away. The people fought and left. At this moment, countless cavalry suddenly rushed out of the city gate, holding swords in their hands, and fiercely aimed at them

Come!

They had escaped from the firing range at this time, and several special combat soldiers and war horses were hit by arrows, but fortunately, none of them were injured, and seeing that more and more cavalry and infantry rushed out, Du Wenhao ordered to retreat in the direction of Western Xia.

They were all on horseback and quickly withdrew for more than ten miles, but the Song army was in hot pursuit, but after entering the road, the pursuers became elongated, and Du Wenhao ordered to stop and attack. These special combat members are all elites from a hundred, and they are one-on-one on the long and narrow road, and the Song army is not an opponent at all. Dozens of pursuers were quickly killed, wounded, and captured.

Seeing that it was wrong, Song Jun withdrew his troops and quickly retreated.

Du Wenhao ordered a prisoner to be brought in for interrogation. This is one of the leaders of the Song army, Du Wenhao asked sharply, "Do you know who I am?" ”

The captive knelt on the ground, his hands tied, and kept kowtowing: "You know, the general spares his life!" ”

"Knowing that I am a general, you still send troops to kill me? Why, exactly? ”

The captives looked left and right, and they all looked at them viciously. Stunned, he said in a low voice: "This is "This is Lord Lu's order."

"Lu Gong?. Du Wenhao was surprised. "Why did he kill me, did he want to rebel?"

"This is all Lord Lu's order, the little one is just acting on orders, and the others don't know

"You don't know?" Du Wenhao whipped it over, "You don't know that you are chasing so hard?" Do you want to cut off Lao Tzu's head and go back to ask for credit? ”

"The little one should be damned, please forgive the adult!"

"I ask you, what about the soldiers in the Warseil?"

"All of them have withdrawn to the city."

"Why?"

"The little one doesn't know, it's just an order. So I withdrew back, as for why, I really don't know. beg the general to spare his life".

"Humph! It looks like you won't say it if you don't move! Du Wenhao glanced at Li Pu.

Li Pu pulled out his dagger and stepped forward to grab the ear of the team leader: "Since you don't know anything. It's useless to have your ears intact, cut it off! With a slight knife, one ear was cut off. In pain, he screamed miserably.

Li Pu's face was expressionless, and his ears were still in front of him. Grabbing the other ear again: "I'll ask one more question." To say or not to say? ”

The team leader groaned, "Me."

"Speak quickly!"

"Lord Lu supported Cao Wang Ye as the emperor, and Cao Wang Ye ordered the arrest of the general"

Du Wenhao was secretly frightened: "Supporting Lord Cao as the emperor? What do you mean? ”

"Prince Cao called Emperor Qin, Fenglu and Yongxing Military Road all supported Prince Cao as the emperor." Embrace him as emperor? Did King Cao rebel? ”

"It's not a rebellion, King Cao said he was the orthodox. So he was called the emperor. ”

Du Wenhao said angrily: "He***, the emperor is good today, he is the emperor, what is it if he is not a rebellion?" ”

"The emperor has collapsed! Now the world is in chaos! The captive clutched his ears, and blood flowed. Nono Road.

Everyone was taken aback, and Du Wenhao was even more surprised, and asked urgently: "The emperor has died?" When did it happen? ”

"It's been more than a month, and there was a big earthquake in the capital that day, killing many people, and it is said that the emperor was also crushed to death by the collapsed house."

"A big earthquake?" Du Wenhao, Lin Qingdai, and Wang Runxue glanced at each other, could it be that when there was a major earthquake in Xingqing Mansion, was Kaifeng in the capital also born? When I asked about the date, it was the same day, and it was all the same time!

On that day, that one. At that moment, the capitals of the Great Liao, Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty had three major earthquakes at the same time! The emperor of the three dynasties died in the earthquake at the same time!

Is this still a coincidence?

Du Wenhao asked urgently, "Where is my mansion?" How are my wives and concubines and apprentices? ”

"I really don't know about this little one."

Du Wenhao was anxious, ran quickly to the other captives, and said sharply: "There is a big earthquake in the capital. Who knows what happens to my town's mansion? Is there anything wrong with my family? Who knows? ”

All the captives looked at each other, and one of the captives said boldly: "It should be fine, because King Cao has a sea capture official document, and he wants to arrest the general, you and your family, and the sea capture official document has the names of the general's wives and concubines."

Du Wenhao was overjoyed, since he was fishing at sea, it meant that he was not dead, otherwise would he do something by fishing. He asked urgently, "Who is on the official document of sea fishing?" ”

The captive shook his head: "I didn't look carefully, because I didn't plan to arrest the general's family." 1. What about you? Who saw it clearly? ”

The captives shook their heads together.

The previous captive said: "There is a sea fishing announcement in Huanzhou City, you can see it at a glance." ”

Lin Qingdai said: "Wen Hao, don't worry, I sneaked into the city at night and uncovered a sea fishing document, and I will know it at a glance." ”

"No, it's too dangerous for you to sneak in alone. Since it is a sea fishing official document. There must be one everywhere, let's find a way to find one somewhere else. ”

It was learned that the wives and concubines were probably still alive. Du Wenhao felt a little relieved and asked, "Who died in the earthquake in the capital?" ”

"A lot of people died, the houses in the capital almost collapsed, even the palace arrived, the prince of Bingsheng who came to greet him in Western Xia, as well as the important ministers of the court, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Cai Qu, Wang Jia, etc., are all dead,"

Wang Runxue trembled: "My father is dead?" ”

The captive turned his head to look at it, and was immediately fascinated by Wang Runxue's beauty that captivated the country and the city, and looked at her stupidly.

Wang Runxue hurriedly said: "Say it quickly!" How's my dad? ”

The captive was still stupid, and after being whipped by Xu Huaqiang next to him, he woke up like a dream. Covering the wound, he asked, "Who is the girl's father?" ”

"Prime Minister Zuo Wang Jia!"

"Oh, I heard it's dead"

Wang Runxue's body shook and she almost fell off her horse. Du Wenhao hurriedly held her up. Wang Runxue cried loudly.

Lin Qingdai came over and stretched out her hand to support her: "Second lady, don't worry, he just heard about it." ”

The captive hurriedly said, "Yes, we see it." I've only heard about it, too. ”

"Listen to whom?"

"Anyway, it's been spread like this, saying that the ministers were preparing to introduce Emperor Zhezong at that time, and as a result, there was a big earthquake, and many ministers of the court and the central government died."

Du Wenhao asked urgently: "What did you say?" Two major earthquakes? ”

"Yes, in the first earthquake, Emperor Zhezong died. The Empress Dowager is in charge, and the emperor's younger brother Zhao Wei inherits the throne. However, not long after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, another major earthquake occurred in the capital. This earthquake was bigger and killed more. Because the ground was cracked with many large cracks, many people fell into the cracks and died, and I heard that the new emperor also died in this earthquake. It's as if he fell into a crack in the ground and was crushed to death,"

Du Wenhao subconsciously asked, "When is the next scene?"

The time for the captive to answer made Du Wenhao stunned. It was the day they killed Emperor Chongzong! And it's the same time!

On the same day and at the same time, in the Western Xia and the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, there were earth-shattering earthquakes respectively!

Du Wenhao asked urgently, "What about the Empress Dowager?" ”

"Missing. may have fallen into a crack in the ground and squeezed to death, because I heard that her body could not be found later, and no one died alive or dead. The captive talked a lot, and when he heard that Du Wenhao was very concerned about this, he took the initiative to continue: "The Nine Emperors, the Eleventh Princes, the Twelve Princes, the Thirteenth Princes, and the Fourteenth Princes, all of them are dead, and the concubines are also dead, and the missing are missing. The Empress Dowager is gone, so the world is in chaos. and they all set themselves kings. Disobey King Cao as emperor. There was a fight in a few strokes. A lot of people died. King Cao controlled Yongxing Military Road, Jingxi Road, Jingbei Road and other areas near the capital. The rest of the generals almost all declared themselves kings. Some roads even have several kings,"
