After a few edicts, the messenger who was waiting for a reply was once again begged to be put into the big tent.

The official of Lingqin's errand is named Li Fu, who is also Li Bangyan's nephew, and not long after he came out of Taixue, he was arranged to be a six-grade official in Zhongshu Province. That's why I was in charge of this mission.

Zhe Ke asked for a polite and courteous greeting of a few people to sit down, and then said with a smile: "The matter in Tokyo is very urgent, and I have discussed it with my generals, and I should immediately lead the troops back to Tokyo to help." Liu Zhengyan is in the south of Huaixi, and Yang Keshi is in the north of Huaixi. This time, I have to send someone to spread the word. It may take three or two days. ”

When Li Fu heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he said: "There is a hard work, and the loyalty of the prince will be seen by the court and the officials." I don't know when the prince is going to enter Beijing? ”

Zhe Keqiu's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he said: "I still wanted to wait for Xiao Liu Xianggong and General Yang to converge before leaving, but I thought that Tokyo was urgent, so I couldn't delay it. So I thought that I would start tonight and go to Tokyo under the stars. It doesn't hurt that Xiao Liu Xianggong and General Yang will come for a few days. ”

"Good, good, excellent, very good, the folded prince is really a model for my Great Song Dynasty generals." Li Fuyan was very happy when he heard this, and after taking this errand and completing it, he would show his face in front of Li Bangyan, and he would inevitably be more relied on.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a military man suddenly rushed out of the military tent, with a panicked face, and there were blood stains on his body, kneeling down and worshipping, and shouting: "Xianggong, it's not good." The anti-thief king Qing gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Wanzhou, this time I can't wait for more than 10,000 people, I'm afraid I can't resist. ”

Zhe Keqiu was shocked and asked, "What?" 100,000 soldiers? How long is it from Wanzhou? ”

"Xianggong, it's only sixty or seventy miles away from Wanzhou, and I'm afraid I'll be able to get to Wanzhou tomorrow morning. Xianggong should have made a decision a long time ago. ”

Zhi Keqiu was furious when he heard this, and opened his mouth to scold: "Waste, it's all waste, why did the anti-thief army find out after sixty or seventy miles?" You waited for the ineffective battle, so that the anti-thieves sat on the big side? 100,000 troops??? An army of 100,000 people??? What should we do now? Could it be that we have escaped from this place and let the countless people of the state capital behind us fall into the hands of thieves? ”

When Qin Cha Li Fu heard this, he was also shocked, the enemy's 100,000 army was only sixty or seventy miles away from here, how could he not be worried.

As soon as the words came out, seven or eight generals in the tent stood up, walked to the middle, knelt on one knee, and a man said: "Xianggong, the last general dares to die, the enemy is 100,000, and the last general also dares to fight with it." ”

"The last general will dare to die! Please give the order! ”

Zhe Keqiu heard the words, but he didn't answer, he looked thoughtful, and only after a long time did he say: "Quickly attack the city and capture the city of Wanzhou, so that you can hold this place." If we can't capture Wanzhou City, we will be besieged here by 100,000 anti-thieves, which is a dead end. Beat the drum quickly and prepare for the siege. ”

Hearing this, several generals shouted: "Obey the order!" ”

After saying that, he went out to prepare for the siege.

Zhi Keqiu turned around with a sad face, and said to the Qin Cha who was sitting on the side: "Shangcha, I'm afraid that I can't go easily this time, if I withdraw my troops and leave, not to mention that countless cities will fall into the sea of anti-thief fire." Even if we are followed and killed by the enemy, it will be difficult to escape. Only by attacking the city first can we keep everyone safe. Please also go up and watch the game. ”

Li Fu hurriedly stood up, and only said, "So how can I get back to Tokyo?" ”

Zhe Keqiu immediately replied: "Don't worry, you will bring back a letter later." This time, I will also go into battle to attack the city. The only way to bring the troops back to Beijing is to slow down first, and when the thief army retreats, a certain general will set off immediately. ”

When Li Fu heard this, he couldn't, so he could only say: "Fold Xianggong, so please ask Xianggong to write a letter first." ”

Zhe Ke asked for words, but said: "When a certain person went out to command the siege of the city, the letter was written on the stage. Please follow along. ”

After saying that, he got up and walked outside the camp. Not far away is the Wanzhou city wall.

Drums rumbled, armies gathered, and siege equipment that had been prepared was placed on the ground.

The war has started, Li Fu stood on the platform, watching the siege battle, and watching Zhe Keqiu write letters. I was nervous in my heart, but I knew that there were 100,000 anti-thieves not far away.

After writing the letter, he signed and stamped it, and handed it to Li Fu.

In Li Fu's eyes, the siege battle was so tragic that he couldn't bear to see the soldiers who fell down from the long ladder.

Li Fu took the letter, bowed down, and said: "Folded Xianggong, the lower official will return to Tokyo first to resume his life." ”

He didn't say much, just nodded.

Li Fu hurriedly got off the platform and left the camp, and from time to time he looked back at the city wall in the distance.

This Wanzhou city has been besieged for many days, and the thieves in the city are sleepy and lacking, and many thieves have escaped. Where is there still a bit of combat power.

Not long after Li Fu walked away, the city was broken. But outside this city, where is Wang Qing's 100,000 army. Where is Wang Qing's army at this time, it is Wang Qing himself, who is besieged in Nanfeng City, trembling all day long. In Nanfeng City, people escape from the city with ropes every day, and the army has not yet started a war, but it is getting smaller and smaller.

The war finally began, 40,000 Western troops were in Huaixi, and the troops outside the city began to prepare to attack the city.

It also indicates that the end of Wang Qing, the king of Chu, is not far away.

When Liu Yanqing left the palace, he followed Li Bangyan to the Privy Council and began to take over official affairs. Before taking over official business, he introduced many large and small officials one by one and became familiar with everything.

The land is vast, and the Yellow River continues to impact the land of China in the years and months of 100 million. It also created the endless plains of the Central Plains of China. The plains are the best land for the survival of the farming people.

Countless knights loomed over the fields where the wheat had just been harvested. Extremely fast galloping, between the ridges, without hindrance.

Attracted countless people to go out and watch, pointing and pointing, and it was very lively.

If you want to say that the soldiers are in a hurry, it is always forbidden to run in the fields, and most of them are lined up on the official road. But at this time, after these soldiers unfolded, the horses' hooves galloped in the fields.

Because Zheng Zhi finally came, the knights' destination was Fengqiu City. A barrier north of the Yellow River on the left back.

Cao Ding stood at the head of Fengqiu City, his face was heavy, and he finally escaped from Huazhou City. Cao Ding went to Fengqiu City and voted for the Fengqiu guard Wang Zhang, who was not an ordinary person, but Wang Quanbin, a famous general under Zhao Kuangyin. Cao Ding's army was defeated, so he naturally did not dare to go back to Beijing, because he wanted to rely on the taller city of Fengqiu to resist the enemy.

At this time, Cao Ding seemed to regret a little, the endless horse's hooves were in front of him, the banner of Yan Zheng was waving in the wind, Yan King Zheng Zhi came, Yan King Zheng Zhi came in person.

I'm afraid I can't hold this hill city.

The vibration of the horse's hooves can even make the flagpole on the head of the city sway from side to side.

The soldiers above the city were all as ashes as ashes. Looking at the cavalry coming from afar, the soldiers kept looking back at the city tower, just to see the expression of Wang Zhang, the main general at the city tower, and even more to hear Wang Zhang's response.

The power of King Yan's cavalry, most of these people have seen it. When Cai Jing led the troops, most of these soldiers were present. It's beyond human power. The only thing that can comfort people now is the high wall of this mound.

The scene in front of me is really terrifying, and the high walls don't seem to be really reassuring. Worried, a portrayal of the hearts of everyone in the city.

Of course, the apprehension also included the guard Wang Zhang, who paced back and forth at the city tower, watching countless horses' hooves stop a mile or two away, before stopping, but he was not in a hurry to set up camp.

The fast horses that went south out of the city to ask for help had already sent several teams. But Wang Zhang also knew that it didn't mean much, where was there anyone who could compete with Yan Wang Zheng Zhi on the north side of the Yellow River?

Cao Ding stood not far from Wang Zhang, and he was also constantly watching Wang Zhang's reaction.

On the city wall, thousands of people were silent and silent.

A team of ironclad approached the city from a distance. Everyone's eyes were drawn to the past, just watching this team of iron armor quickly approach. Thousands of people, not a single one thought to pull the bow and crossbow.

Wang Zhang walked up to the battlement and shouted, "Is the city an envoy of King Yan?" ”

I don't want to get off the city in front of the head of the horse team and replied: "A certain is Zheng Zhi!" ”

It was this sentence that made Wang Zhang tremble, and hurriedly bowed to the city, shouting: "Fengqiu guard general Wang Zhang, meet His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

"Courteous! Why didn't you come from afar to welcome you? Don't you want to sleep outside the city? "Zheng Zhi under the city, sitting in front of the unicorn beast, his iron armor is shiny, even the unicorn body is also covered in armor, and immediately there are crossbows, quivers, spears, and long knives.

All of them show people how good this His Royal Highness King Yan is.

As soon as the words came out, it was to look at the world, and ask who dared to talk about swords in front of King Yan!

When Wang Zhang heard this, his complexion changed, he looked at the people left and right a few times, and said hesitantly: "Your Highness came from afar, and he should have gone out of the city to greet him, but the last general was on official business and did not dare to go out of the city." Tonight, I must prepare a few good wines and dishes and send them to the camp to catch the wind and wash the dust for His Highness. ”

Zheng Zhi smiled when he heard this: "Send wine and food?" I wonder if you're here to accompany you? If you don't come, you won't eat your meal. Tomorrow, I'll invite you to a meal of wine, how about it? ”

Wang Zhang was shocked when he heard this, but he understood the meaning of his words. Then Wang Zhangyou looked at the soldiers on the city wall again, and replied: "Your Highness, the last general... The last general really didn't dare to embarrass His Highness, but what could he do... ”

Wang Zhang's heart is empty, whether this city can be defended, Wang Zhang's heart is clear. But it was this surrender, Wang Zhang also hesitated, and there was still a family in Tokyo.

Zheng Zhi heard Wang Zhang's hesitant words, did not frown, and shouted: "What can I do? Tonight, you come to accompany a certain person to eat and drink, and tomorrow a certain will take you across the river into Tokyo City! ”
