Chapter 610: Song Jin Zhengyan (5)

On the first day of the Jin soldiers' offensive, Li Yanqing blasted back with eighty earth-shaking thunderbolts, killing nearly 5,000 people and injuring more than 2,000 people.

Li Yanqing did not dare to relax, he learned the lesson of improper storage this time, and was almost burned by the fireball of the Jin soldiers, and he immediately ordered all the military products to be evacuated to a distance of two hundred steps from the city.

However, the Seed Master Dao was very appreciative of Li Yanqing's strategy of withholding back at the beginning, and at night, the Seed Master Dao inspected the situation in the city surrounded by a team of cavalry.

When they came to Dongcheng, they happened to see thousands of soldiers busily carrying food and vacating the houses along the city, and considering the resistance of the people in the city, Li Yanqing did not order the demolition of the houses.

After staring at it for a long time, the Daoist Dao was touched, and then he turned back to his brother and sighed: "Capture Yanjing, I can say at most that he is a brave general, but he can plan and act today, this is the quality of a famous general, I finally didn't see the wrong person." ”

The seed master nodded, "The key is that he is still a civil official, and it is even more commendable, he has a deterrent among the Jin people in this battle, why didn't my brother recommend him to guard Yanjing Mansion?" ”

Seed Master Dao pondered and said: "Actually, I prefer him to guard Taiyuan Mansion, if you want to inherit the Hedong Army, you must stay in Taiyuan Mansion for a few years." ”

"But Yao Pingzhong is in Taiyuan Mansion, I'm afraid Li Yanqing doesn't have much chance."

"Let's talk about it!" Seed Master Dao's eyes were a little gloomy, and he also knew that the affairs of the court were not up to him.

At this time, a soldier rushed along the road to the upper city, knelt down on one knee in front of the master and said: "Qi Qi Marshal, Li Tong has an emergency to report, please go to the city!" ”

The planter was stunned, urged the horse to run towards the city, and after a while, he and the planter went to the city one after another, but saw Li Yanqing staring at the Jin Bing camp in the distance with all his attention, and he didn't know what happened?

"Yanqing, what's the urgency?" The Seed Master Dao strode forward and asked in a deep voice.

Li Yanqing hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Commander Qiqi, I found that the Jin soldiers had moved!" ”

The seed master Dao was also taken aback, and he didn't care about asking more, his sharp eyes immediately looked at the Jin Bing camp in the distance, although it was night, but the moonlight was bright, and some important signs could still be seen clearly, and the seed master Dao also found that the banner of the Jin Bing military camp was gone.

He glanced up at the banner of the Song Army, and saw that the banner was hunting and fluttering overhead, and the wind was very strong, it was impossible for the other party's flag to be attached to the flagpole, and there was only one explanation, the flag was taken off.

For the generals to know what it means to take off the banner, that is, to retreat, whether it is to use an empty city strategy, or deliberately confuse the enemy, other things can be left alone, but the military flag is the soul of an army, and it will not be left to the other party until it is forced to spoil.

"Marshal, could it be that the enemy army wants to capture the old man and deliberately retreat to attract us out of the city?" The planter whispered his thoughts to the side.

"Possibly, it's better to send someone to investigate."

Seed Master Dao glanced at Li Yanqing, and Li Yanqing immediately said, "The lowly post has sent the scout camp out." ”

The seed master nodded approvingly, and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to work hard for you tonight, and keep an eye on the movements of the golden soldiers." ”

"Obey the order!"

Li Yanqing was also confused at this time, with the tenacity of attacking Linhuang Mansion with Jin soldiers, he would definitely not retreat after a setback in attacking the city, not to mention that their emperor was also watching the battle.

He was very aware of Jin Bing's desire for Yanjing City, and he had a hint of understanding in his heart, if it wasn't for the enemy's deliberate desire to capture the old man, it must have been a big incident.

........

On the official road east of Yanjing City, 100,000 Jin soldiers are slowly retreating, and the big wooden platform has not been removed, but it is no longer pulled by horses, but carried by 360 strong soldiers on their shoulders.

There are two big tents on the wooden platform, one is the big tent of the military aircraft, and the other is the sleeping tent of Wanyan Aguda, at this time more than a dozen important ministers sat silently in the big tent of the military plane, and no one spoke.

At this time, there was a sudden cry in the sleeping tent, and more than a dozen ministers were shocked, and tears couldn't help but flow out. Father is gone! ”

There was a cry in the big tent, and Wan Yan Lou stood up tremblingly, walked out of the big tent and shouted: "The whole army mourns!" ”

........

In the fourth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the sixth year of Jin Tianfu, in August, the emperor of the Jin State Wanyan Aguda was injured by a frightened horse in the siege of Yanjing City, and died that night, and passed the throne to the fourth brother Wanyan Wu begging to buy before his death.

Wanyan Aguda ordered to stop attacking Yanjing before his death, and exterminated Liao with all his might, and the army immediately returned to Huanglongfu, but attacking the Song State was a national policy that the Jin State had already set, and Wanyan Wu Qimai immediately ordered the minister to resign and Hulu as the chief and deputy envoys to go to Bianjing to negotiate with the Song Dynasty, and strive to obtain the maximum benefits of Yanjing Mansion at the negotiating table.

Knowing that the Song army of the East Road defeated the Jin soldiers in the defense of Yanjing, the Son of Heaven of the Jin Kingdom was also injured and died in the fierce battle, and the Jin soldiers were forced to withdraw from Yandi.

At the same time, Li Yanqing was promoted to the first level of the fourth rank of Zhengfeng doctor, and at the same time he was crowned as the Xuanxuan envoy of the Baosheng Army.

Before Li Yanqing was named the assassin of Quan Xiongzhou, it was only a temporary official position, because he was not of enough rank to temporarily hold this position, which actually had no meaning to Li Yanqing.

Although it is also a fictitious title, it is only an honorary official position, but this title of Chengxuan envoy has another meaning to Li Yanqing, which means that he can lead the army alone as a civilian official, and no longer go out as a deputy general or subordinate.

This point is very important to Li Yanqing, if he can be made a Chengxuan envoy a few months earlier, then the luck of the king of the county is that he is not a seed master.

The reason why the imperial court determined that Li Yanqing's right army commander was not the main general was that he did not have formal positions such as the envoy of the Xuan, the envoy of the festival, and the envoy of Xuanfu, and he was only a deputy general.

This is also the subtlety of officialdom, the seed master Dao did not let Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze, and the three people with the title of festival envoy be the main generals of the sneak attack on Yanjing, but let Li Yanqing take on the important responsibility, which is more or less a little deep-seated consideration.

Of course, this can't be said that the seed master is selfish, they are all people in the officialdom, who doesn't want to be the king, Tong Guan has dreamed of this for ten years, not to mention that he is old and is about to retire completely, he also wants to leave a little name behind him!

Whether it is the court Xiangguo or the Son of Heaven Zhao Ji, they are all human spirits, they are very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the ministers of the court, like Li Yanqing, a general who missed the title of county king, how could Zhao Ji not know what he lacks?

Although it was made up for him afterwards, it could be regarded as a kind of compensation, at least it opened a channel for Li Yanqing to go up.

However, to put it bluntly, this kind of thing is also a kind of vanity, the Great Song Dynasty never grants living officials, but it is like a girl's chastity, once an exception is made, it will not be so important in the eyes of the emperor, who said that Li Yanqing will not have a chance in the future?

On the eighth day of the ninth month, the imperial court decree was delivered to Yanjing Mansion, Yanjing Mansion was renamed Yanshan Mansion, and Wang Anzhong was officially appointed as the prefect of Yanshan, and Guo Yaoshi was the envoy of Yanshan Mansion with the governor of Jiedu.

Seed Master Dao and Guo Yaoshi handed over the military power, and then led an army of 80,000 to return to Beijing, escorting all the captured wealth and thousands of craftsmen, together with dozens of captured Liao important ministers to the capital.

.......

Tong Guan was recalled to the capital by the Son of Heaven in mid-August, and of course a fierce scolding was inevitable, but the Eastern Route Army broke through Yanjing City, which really made Zhao Ji feel very good, and his attention to Yanjing's gains and losses far exceeded that of the unfortunate fallen soldiers, so although Tong Guan was scolded, he was not dismissed from office, but was ordered to think about it at home for a month.

Thinking about the wall is a unique punishment for eunuchs, just like Lao Tzu's punishment for his son, Zhao Ji regards Tong Guan as his own person from the bottom of his bones, and his own people can be scolded and beaten, but he will not be severely punished, and the souls of 100,000 soldiers dissipated in Zhao Ji's understatement.

However, there are still explanations to the imperial court, and the main general Xin Xingzong was imprisoned for questioning, and the end of being sent to Lingnan to fill the army is inevitable.

Tong Guan's so-called face wall thinking is just staying at home and not going out, the Western Xia battle was lost, and he was also faced with the wall for a year, but now it is only a month, and it can be seen that the official family has no idea of punishing himself at all.

Although he understands this, Tong Guan still feels extremely painful in his heart, the official's tolerance for himself is because of the great victory of the Seed Master Dao, and the Seed Master Dao has been named the king of Guangyang County, Tong Guan has been thinking about it day and night for ten years, and has spared no effort to prepare for ten years, but in the end he made a wedding dress for others, so that Tong Guan did not bleed in pain and hated it to the bone.

In the study, Tong Guan sat behind the wide desk and said to his adopted son Tong Yanhe: "This matter seems small, but the consequences of doing it are very serious, the reason why I want you to do it is because of your steadiness and finesse, of course, it is also because you make me trustworthy, don't let me down." ”

Tong Guan became a eunuch when he became an adult, and it was for this reason that he attached great importance to the succession of the lineage, and he did not find a random person to change his surname like other eunuchs, Tong Guan valued the bloodline very much, Tong Yansi was not only his adopted son, but also his nephew, and his eldest brother's son passed on to him.

The two of them have the same blood flowing in their veins, and Tong Guan is also very important to him, so although Tong Yansi has never fought, he has already achieved the position of General Zuo Xiaowei from the fourth grade, and the official rank is General Xuanwei, which is higher than the official position that Wang Gui and they fought with their lives.

Tong Yansi hurriedly bowed down and said: "Please rest assured, the child will control the whole process of this matter, but he will not come forward, and the child will ask his henchman to arrange an unrelated person to handle this matter." ”

Tong Guan nodded with satisfaction, "That's the best, you can talk to Zhang Yun afterwards." ”

Zhang Yun is the Shaoyin of Kaifeng Mansion and Tong Guan's confidant, with him, he is not afraid of making things big.
