Chapter 773: Unexpected Information
Li Yanqing rejected Sun Fu's proposal to appoint him as the deputy envoy of the capital's defense on the grounds that he could not give the Jin people the handle to tear up the agreement, although Zhao Huan also had the idea of letting Li Yanqing assist Sun Fu, but in the end he couldn't save this face, so he had to give up.
However, Li Yanqing still gave Zhao Huan face, and promised to write a letter to persuade the Jingzhao army stationed in Luoyang to rush to Tokyo immediately.
It was already night when Li Yanqing returned to Cao's Mansion from the palace, and as soon as he got off the carriage, Zhang Hu rushed out of the mansion, "Dutong is finally back!" ”
"What's wrong?" Li Yanqing rarely saw Zhang Hu so anxious and panicked, and he knew that something big must have happened.
"Something really happened, ...... this morning"
"Let's talk about it when we enter the house, don't rush this time."
Li Yanqing stopped Zhang Hu, he got out of the carriage and walked quickly towards the mansion.
Entering the study, Mo Jun also rushed over when he heard the news, and Li Yanqing sat on the wide chair in his study, quietly listening to Zhang Hu's emergency report.
"He Nan found me early this morning, he received a strange pigeon letter yesterday afternoon, this pigeon letter was sent from Xuzhou, it should have flown to the Daimyo's mansion, but the Jin Guo fine work in Xuzhou seems to have gone wrong, using the wrong carrier pigeon, and the pigeon flew to Tokyo Bianliang ......."
"Don't talk nonsense, tell the letter!" Mo Jun was a little impatient.
Li Yanqing glanced at Mo Jun, why couldn't even Mo Jun hold his breath?
Zhang Hu slowed down his speech again, for fear that Li Yanqing would not understand, and said word by word: "The army and the car have passed the Huaishui!" That's what the pigeon letter says, just one sentence. ”
Li Yanqing blinked a few times, stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the east wall, brushed the ground and opened a curtain, there was a huge map of Dasongzhou County hanging on the wall, Mo Jun walked over with a candlestick, "Dutong can also see that the sound of the golden soldiers is attacking the east from the west, and the plan is far away!" ”
Of course, Li Yanqing also understood that the Jin soldiers seemed to be preparing to attack Bianliang in Tokyo, but in fact their target was Emperor Zhao Ji.
This is completely different from history, Zhao Ji was captured after the Jin soldiers broke through Bianjing, and now the Jin soldiers are preparing to ambush Zhao Ji on the way back to Bianjing, what a powerful strategy, if it weren't for the fact that Jin Guo made a mistake in the intelligence point in Xuzhou, he would never have thought of Jin Guo's scheme, in the final analysis, it was still thanks to the results of buying He Nan as a double agent.
But..... After Li Yanqing read the map, he knew that the news was still a little late, from Zhao Ji's car crossing the Huai River to the time he got the news now, at least three days have passed, three days, where has Zhao Ji gone?
Zhao Ji escaped from Bianliang, Tokyo alone, without bringing his children and concubines, but it does not mean that he can rush back in a hurry without burden, he is also very jealous of his son Zhao Huan, and he must be very cautious and cautious when he comes back, and the speed will never be fast.
No matter how slow he went, he should have arrived in Fuli County by now.
"Dutong, do you want to go into the palace and tell the officials?" Mo Jun asked in a low voice.
Li Yanqing hesitated for a while and shook his head, "There's no point in telling him now, not to mention that we can't explain our intelligence sources, let him know for himself!" ”
"So what can we do?"
Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "There is only one thing we can do now, to find another safe place in the capital. ”
This is one thing that Li Yanqing has long figured out, in times of crisis, I am afraid that the imperial court will not rely on itself, but will betray itself.
At this moment, there was a sound of running in the courtyard outside, and a personal soldier hurriedly reported at the door: "Qiyu Dutong, the alarm beacon fire at the head of the city has been lit!" ”
.......
After Li Yanqing left, the seed division ordered the army to carry out a state of emergency, and at the same time sent his own soldiers to Zhengzhou Guandu to warn the defenders there, and at the same time, the seed division sent people to directly dismantle several trestle bridges on the wharf, transported hundreds of iron fire and thunder to the wharf, and strengthened the construction of the defensive wall.
From noon, the planter slept well, and it was not until nightfall that he asked the soldiers to wake him up.
The night is getting thicker, the seed master is wearing armor and carrying a sword in front of the tent, he is a little nervous, if Li Yanqing's judgment is not wrong, then the Jin soldiers are likely to attack yesterday and today, but now two days and one night have passed, and only the last night is left, will the Jin soldiers come? Unless Li Yanqing's judgment is wrong, Li Yanqing's judgment has always been accurate.
The planter hoped from the bottom of his heart that Li Yanqing would make a mistake in judgment this time, but he didn't dare to be careless.
At this moment, an alarm bell sounded on the guard tower at the gate of the camp, 'Dang! While! While! 'The heart of the seed master tightened suddenly, Jin Bing is really here?
The soldiers of the army were assembled, and except for two thousand soldiers who were deployed at the docks, the remaining three thousand soldiers were in the main camp.
The breeder turned over his horse, urged the horse to gallop to the gate of the camp, and asked sharply, "What kind of enemy?" ”
"Enlightened handsome, there is a fire in the west."
The seed master was taken aback, there is a fire in the west is definitely not Guandu, Guandu is four hundred miles away in the west, even if there is a fire, they can't see it, it should be Xiaowangzhuang fifty miles away in the west, and the river can also be crossed over there, but the water on the bank of the river is very shallow, but it is impossible to dock a large ship of more than a thousand stones, at most five hundred stone boats, the seed master thinks that it is unlikely that the Jin army will cross the river over there, at most it is a spies to cross the river, so only three hundred soldiers are deployed.
The seed master hesitated for a moment, although he ordered that as long as there was any hostile situation, the alarm bell should be sounded, but there was a fire on the side of Xiaowangzhuang, could it be that a small scale of Jin soldiers tried to attack and attract their own army, and then they took the opportunity to attack Baimadu in a big way? Decades of experience tell the breeders that this is likely to be the strategy of the Jin soldiers.
At this moment, there were faint several muffled sounds, this was the explosion of the earth-shaking thunder, the face of the seed master suddenly changed greatly, he told the defender over there, if it was a large-scale attack by the enemy, he would ignite the earth-shaking thunder alarm, this series of three explosions, it was clearly a signal of a large-scale attack by the enemy.
The planter immediately shouted: "Quickly go to the dock to give the order, and rush back to the barracks to assemble!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalryman rushed covered in blood, rushed to the camp gate and dropped his horse, and the breeder urged the horse to step forward, dismounted and helped the soldier up, "What's the matter?" ”
The soldier's breath was faint and said, "The dock is attacked!" Hurry up and save ....."
Before he could finish speaking, the soldier gave up his breath, and the planter slammed his fist to the ground, got up and shouted, "Go to the docks!" ”
He turned on his horse and led three thousand soldiers to the dock a mile away, but before he was halfway there, there was a great fire all around, and he saw countless golden cavalry surround them from all directions, and there were 10,000 or 20,000 people.
Knowing that he could not get out today, he cried out tragically: "Brothers, the time has come to be loyal to the country, kill me!" ”
"Kill—"
The three thousand soldiers shouted angrily and rushed south with the seed master, and at this time, Wanyan Zonghan coldly gave the order to annihilate everything.
On this night, the famous general was killed at the Baima Ferry, and the 5,000 Song army was annihilated.
.........
After Zhao Ji reached a cooperation agreement with Jin Guo, he set off to return to Bianliang, Tokyo, although Zhao Ji escaped from Bianjing under the pretext of Shangxiang only Cai You and more than 20 guards to protect him, but then Gao Yu led 30,000 Tianlong forbidden troops out of the city to chase after him, and finally caught up with Zhao Ji in Caizhou.
Now Zhao Ji has returned to Bianjing, in addition to Gao Yu's 30,000 Tianlong forbidden army, there are also 10,000 Jiangnan Xiang troops led by Dutong Fan Qiong, which is 10,000 Xiang troops including Jiangning Mansion, Changzhou, and Suzhou.
In addition, Zhao Ji also had several confidant eunuchs and two newly established concubines in Jiangning.
Zhao Ji returned by boat, there was a big ship of 5,000 stones in Jiangning Mansion, which had been renovated and became Zhao Ji's boat, and more than 300 small boats full of grain followed, pulled by hundreds of slender men on the shore, and the fleet slowly moved northwest along the Bianhe River.
The 30,000 Tianlong Forbidden Army is composed of 5,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry, the most sophisticated armor, and the best treatment, it is composed of young and strong soldiers selected by Gao Yu from the 800,000 forbidden army.
However, like other forbidden armies, this forbidden army has never experienced war, and even did not participate in the war to pacify Song Jiang and Fang La, after Tang Huai came out of martial arts, he had spent a year in the Tianlong Forbidden Army, and he had a deeper understanding of this army, in Tang Huai's words, this army is more delicate and noble than the son-in-law of a large family, it is an out-and-out embroidered pillow, it looks very bright, and it is okay to fight and be jealous in the capital, but if they want to go to the battlefield, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the village soldiers.
5,000 cavalry guarded Zhao Ji's 5,000-stone boat on both sides of the Bianhe River, and the flags were overwhelming, which was very spectacular.
At this time, Zhao Ji stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, he stared at the red clouds like feathers, the red sunset was about to set, and the warm river breeze was blowing in his face, with a strong spring breath, which made Zhao Ji feel a little relaxed for a while.
At this time, a city gradually appeared in the distance, and Zhao Ji asked the two new concubines with a smile, "Two concubines, guess where the city in front is?" ”
The two new concubines are the daughters of the Jiangning Mansion, and Zhao Ji set them up as concubines in order to envelop the Jiangnan family, and they are only seventeen or eighteen years old, very beautiful and gorgeous.
A slightly taller concubine clapped her hands and smiled: "I know, it must be Fuli County!" ”
"What do you say?" Zhao Ji asked another concubine.
"Hmmm! I guess it's Ying Tianfu. ”
Zhao Ji raised his head and laughed, "Fuli County will pass this morning, Ying Tianfu will not arrive until noon tomorrow, this is Yongcheng County." ”
"Your Majesty is necrotic and deliberately deceived us." The two concubines snuggled up to him and coquettished.
At this time, Cai You, who was behind, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's not early, or we will spend the night in Yongcheng County tonight!" ”
Zhao Ji was very interested, so he nodded happily, "Okay!" Spend the night in Yongcheng County tonight. ”
........
At the same time that Zhao Ji agreed to spend the night in Yongcheng County, a Jurchen cavalry of 20,000 people had already appeared a hundred miles away and was rushing towards Yongcheng County.
