At night, outside the northern castle of Tokyo, there are endless bonfires.

Cai Jing was a little flustered in his heart, and said to the seed master who was standing aside: "Seed Xianggong, can this high wall really stop Zheng Zhi?" ”

The emaciated Planter Dao was obviously accustomed to the battle formation, and only said: "The matter of defending the city is a contest of wills. Most of Zheng Zhi's pawns were the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and most people would not work very hard in attacking Bianliang. Most of the soldiers defending the city in the city are rabble, and they have never really seen the battle array, and when they defend the city, they are afraid that they are also trembling. This city can not be defended, and I dare not speak falsely. ”

Cai Jing heard the foreword of the Seed Master, and his heart was much more relaxed, and he didn't even listen to the afterword. He said: "This is very good, as long as the besiegers are not brave, with this high wall, Bianliang is worry-free." ”

But it was the master who shook his head again and said: "There are many cronies under Zheng Zhi's command who dare to die, as well as party soldiers, and there are also Liao people who surrender troops. The Taishi should not be underestimated. ”

Cai Jing asked anxiously when he heard this: "You mean that the city can't be defended?" ”

"If there is a real war, if Zheng Zhi is bent on breaking the city, he is only afraid that there will be more evil and less luck." It is always customary to say good things first, and only at the end will he say the facts in his heart. It is also a kind of teacher who also has a fluke in his heart, as long as people have this mentality, they will subconsciously believe in the luck they expected. But he is a teacher, and he is not the kind of person who does not face reality.

When Cai Jing heard this, his complexion changed greatly, and he had already turned around and went down to the city, got into the carriage and went straight to the palace.

"Your Majesty, the thief army is strong, and there are too few defenders in the city. If you want to win this battle, you need to find ways to deal with it and delay time for the Emperor Taishang to bring troops back to help. In this way, victory will be achieved. Cai Jing's plan in his heart is like this, and he is also blunt in the face of Zhao Huan. It's about finding ways to get revenge.

This strategy is also extremely clever. It was dragged without a fight, and dragged to the rescue of King Qin's division.

Zhao Huan looked puzzled when he heard this, although Zhao Huan had heard a lot about Zheng Zhi before, he didn't know much about military affairs, except for victory and defeat, Zhao Huan really didn't understand anything else, so he asked: "What does the Taishi mean is that this battle will be lost?" Can't hold Bianliang? ”

Cai Jing nodded and said: "Your Majesty, both the ministers and the Seed Master Dao are so worried, and Your Majesty is just trying to find a way to stabilize Zheng Zhi, so as to delay time." ”

Zhao Huan nodded, and only said, "I know, and I'll wait for that Li Bangyan to come back." You go back first. ”

Cai Jing went out of the imperial study after hearing the words and saluting. Zhao Huan also frowned, if this battle was to be lost, then everything would be over. Obviously, Zhao Huan can't let Bianliang lose, if Bianliang loses, not to mention the throne, it is difficult to guarantee his life.

As long as Bianliang can be kept, what Zhao Huan can pay can have no bottom line. Just like when the Jurchens went south, the Jurchens demanded and ceded the land, and the Jurchens were asking for it, as long as the Jurchens withdrew their troops, it was acceptable for Zhao Huan to give up as much territory as possible. The main reason is to be able to control the Tokyo court.

The sky was shining, and a soldier stood up from under the battlements with sleepy eyes, looked a few times to the north, and then looked shocked, and hurriedly called out his comrades on the left and right.

I saw the big camp outside the city, horns everywhere, and teams of iron armor rushed out of the barracks, neatly lined up and paceed. So he practiced not far from the city.

Sometimes they shoot arrows, sometimes they charge. There are also large groups of cavalry galloping, and the habitual call sign of the nomadic party.

It was like this for nearly an hour, and then the drums beat together, and all the soldiers who practiced gathered under the simple general's platform to report the points.

There were more and more people watching from the top of the city, and the soldiers looked at each other with ugly faces.

There were even many scoundrels who had received hundreds of copper coins and put down their weapons and secretly went down to the city. It didn't take long for Tokyo Bianliang City, which had just woken up, to boil immediately.

Countless people flocked to the city walls, looking for stairs to look up. This city wall was not allowed to be climbed by the people, but it was the huge Tokyo city wall, with countless stairs, which had long been vacant everywhere, where could the people of the upper city be stopped.

These people don't seem to have an intuitive understanding of the war, although they have a lot of worries in their hearts, they are not really afraid, and they even have a mentality of looking for excitement.

It is also the same thing as Zheng Zhi of the Great Song Dynasty and the barbarian Jurchen, the Jurchen has always burned, killed and looted, and when the soldiers came to Tokyo, everyone knew that a catastrophe was coming.

But Zheng Zhi is different, except for the officials in the city and the soldiers who want to defend the city, the people in the city do not think that they will be in trouble.

"If you want to say that this Zheng Xianggong is really powerful, not to mention the destruction of the party, I heard that he forced the emperor of Liao to death, and the person who led the troops in the Great Song Dynasty can be called the first."

"Listen to your nonsense, I heard that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom died of illness by himself, and before Zheng Xianggong led his troops into Yanjing, the emperor died of illness."

"You are also talking nonsense, I heard that the emperor of Liao ran away and ran to the grassland."

There is a lot of talk about it, and most of it is something that I have heard recently, and most of it is not detailed.

"You don't understand this, there are two emperors in Liao, one ran away, and the other newly ascended the throne died of illness." But there are some people who really know the general idea.

"I think this Zheng Xianggong wants to ascend the throne and be the emperor, he destroyed the Western Xia, destroyed the Liao State, and turned his head and wanted to drive the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty out of power, what a powerful character." When this person spoke, it was a kind of schadenfreude mentality, and he was a little dissatisfied on weekdays.

"What are you talking about? If it weren't for Cai Jing and Cai You, why would Zheng Xianggong raise an army to rebel? Lao Tzu heard that when Zheng Xianggong was fighting hard in Yanyun, Cai You went to Cangzhou to get his family, what do you call this? ”

"What's the matter? It's that the official family is afraid that he will support the army and respect himself, so he wants to take his family as a hostage, you see, isn't he the opposite?"

"I think he is a wolf with ambitions, just to change the dynasty...

After all, there is a difference between scholars and ordinary people, and what the people say is like talking after dinner, a little panic in their hearts, and they can't stop their curiosity.

A group of soldiers rushed from the road to the city and drove the crowd down the city. There were onlookers in many places above the city walls, and there were also groups of soldiers who were ordered to drive them away.

Li Bangyan also got up early in the morning and was about to go to the big tent to say goodbye to Zheng Zhi, but it was Zheng Zhi who went to Jiangtai to order troops, and Li Bangyan didn't dare to leave without permission, so he had to wait with a sad face outside the big tent.

A team of iron armor walked in front of him, and the blades on the weapons reflected a moment of cold light from time to time, and Li Bangyan was even more anxious.

When the iron armor came back one by one, the morning sun was rising, Zheng Zhi hit his horse and returned, reflecting in the sun, which seemed to have an aggressive trend.

Li Bangyan hurriedly stepped forward and gave up his hand, Zheng Zhi also reined in the horse, and said sternly: "Li Zhongshu, why are you still in the army, and go back to the city to the new emperor, you will make it clear to you, the court is guilty, if there is no explanation after noon, a certain will order troops to attack the city." ”

Li Bangyan hurriedly said: "It is precisely to return to the city to resume his life, so he came to resign to Zheng Xianggong, Xianggong can rest assured, there will be a reply in the afternoon." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded, beat his horse, dismounted and went straight into the big tent.

Li Bangyan hurriedly got on the frame and told the people who were driving the car to leave quickly.

Zhao Ji, who went south, arrived in Bozhou, but he was not in a hurry to go south, so he stopped in Bozhou, and sent people to send the holy decree to various places, and the generals from all over the country gathered in Bozhou, and there was a text to go down.

In the Tokyo hall, Li Bangyan finally arrived at the court meeting, and everyone stepped back to the left and right, allowing Li Bangyan to walk quickly.

Zhao Huan stood up and hurriedly asked, "Li Qing, what did Zheng Zhi say?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister risked his life this time, and finally met Zheng Zhi. Under the investigation, there are also gains. Li Bangyan trembled at Zheng Zhi, but he returned to this forbidden palace and began to pinch it again, just to highlight his merits.

Zhao Huan hurriedly asked again: "What are the gains, come quickly." ”

Li Bangyan saw that Zhao Huan was quite anxious, and then said slowly: "Back to Your Majesty, this minister and that Zheng Zhi have been talking in detail for a long time, and they are all accusing and arguing with each other in front of their heads, and there is no lack of scolding when they are angry. Later, the minister learned what Zheng Zhi thought in his heart, and Zheng Zhi rebelled, which was not his intention. It's just that the court lost him, and he shouldn't have taken his family when he fought a bloody war with the Liao, so he wanted the court to give an explanation. ”

Li Bangyan is very thick-skinned, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he said that he and Zheng Zhi accused and argued with each other, and there was even no shortage of scolding, but it was just to show merit in front of Zhao Huan, and he portrayed himself as a person who was not afraid of sacrifice and was loyal.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Min also turned his head to look at Li Bangyan frequently, and he couldn't believe it in his heart.

Zhao Huan was a lot more relaxed when he heard this, and asked again: "Zheng Zhi's meaning, is it that the imperial court will withdraw if he gives an explanation?" ”

Li Bangyan nodded: "Yes!" Zheng Zhi meant this, as long as the imperial court could give him an explanation, he would have no reason to haunt outside Tokyo anymore. ”

Cai Jing was also overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, you might as well give Zheng Zhi some benefits first, delay it for a while, and wait for the Emperor Taishang's army to come back, and then exterminate it." ”

Zhao Huan glanced at Cai Jing when he heard this, and asked Li Bangyan again: "Then what does Zheng Zhi want to explain?" ”

This sentence asked Li Bangyan, but Li Bangyan shook his head and said: "How do you want to explain, this Zheng Zhi didn't say it clearly." ”

Wu Min hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it's hard to say it clearly if you want to come to Zheng Zhi, but this matter is also simple, the first emperor has a word, and those who recover Yanyun can be crowned kings, and now Zheng Zhi has taken Yanyun back." If he is crowned king, if he accepts the canonization of the imperial court, he will still be a Song minister, and there will be no reason for the court to be embarrassed. Even in the future, Zheng Zhi will not have to rebel and rebel again. That's just the right thing to do. Please also ask Your Majesty to decide. ”nt
