Wang Zhang heard Zheng Zhi's words and was already silent. Fighting with Zheng Zhi, who had endless cavalry behind him at this time, Wang Zhang was a little afraid and a little apprehensive. After all, life is still more important.

But asking Wang Zhang to open the city gate and surrender at this time, Wang Zhang was even more worried, and the family was all in Tokyo. Surrender at this time, once it is transmitted to Tokyo, will this old and young family still have a life?

Zheng Zhi saw that the top of the city did not answer, and without the iconic wrinkle repeatedly, he was going to kill.

I saw Zheng Zhi turning his head on his horse, preparing to return to the army. But he smiled faintly: "It seems that we will set up camp tonight." ”

What Zheng Zhi said meant that he was not going to set up camp, so the army went directly into the city to make do with the night, and tomorrow he flew directly to the bank of the Yellow River, flew across the Yellow River, and arrived in Tokyo. But there is a premise for this idea, that is, this Wang Zhangzhi surrenders.

Wang Zhang didn't hear Zheng Zhi's laughter, but when he saw Zheng Zhi turning back, he was anxious, that is, he knew that His Royal Highness King Yan was angry and no longer negotiated with him. That's a fierce battle that never stops.

In the distance, there was a group of knights riding horses and going around the city, as many as seven or eight thousand. This team of knights is obviously going to the south of the city, that is, to block the back road of Fengqiu City.

Wang Zhang hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness stays, Your Highness stays... ”

Zheng Zhi pulled the reins when he heard this, and glanced back.

Wang Zhang saw that Zheng Zhi turned around, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, later, the last general will prepare wine and food and go out of the city to accompany His Highness to eat wine and wash the dust for His Highness." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Wait for you!" ”

After speaking, Zheng Zhi hit the horse and left.

Wang Zhang said that preparing wine and food is a pretext, Wang Zhang is afraid that His Royal Highness the King of Yan will not agree with his words, and regardless of the approaching night, he ordered the siege of the city. Wang Zhang wanted to stabilize Zheng Zhi, and then think about it. Whether to really open the city and surrender, Wang Zhang was still a little worried in his heart.

Wang Zhang was very worried, looked left and right, summoned Cao Ding to his side, and asked, "General Cao, you look at the city... ”

Wang Zhang's words were not finished, but he paused at this point.

Cao Ding looked at Wang Zhang's inquiring eyes and replied, "General Wang, I'm afraid I can't hold it." The soldiers under the command of King Yan are brave in attacking the city, which is rare in the world. It's really one after another, desperate to die. ”

When Cao Ding said such words, he also lost some insight. If you want to talk about the courage to siege the city, those Cangzhou soldiers are not as good as the party members under the command of Wei Mingrenming. However, the hundreds of people brought by Gai Yi are not bad.

Wang Zhang's face turned a little pale when he heard this, and he asked again: "If I can't hold it, can I retreat?" ”

Wang Zhang asked this sentence, naturally because Cao Ding got out of trouble from the army. So asking Cao Ding is the right person.

Cao Ding replied when he heard this: "I'm afraid it's difficult, when the head was in Huazhou, there were only 20,000 siege soldiers." Now there are many people outside the city. Just looking at the posture of this cavalry, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands. If the foot soldiers arrive, there will be a gap outside this mound. It's hard to get away. ”

Cao Ding's tone was a little helpless, but also a little regretful, regretting that he shouldn't have entered this Fengqiu City.

The left and right generals listened to the words of the two, and their solemn expressions were much more relaxed. Why did Cao Ding say that the situation was almost dead, but these generals looked a little lighter?

It's just because everyone has already guessed that this General Cao probably wants to surrender.

Cao Ding stood on the spot, thought for a long time, and said one sentence: "Alas... Ask the best hotels in town to prepare a few banquets. I'm going to go out of town later. ”

After speaking, Cao Ding went down the stairs of the city. The generals on the left and right heard Cao Ding's words, and they all breathed a sigh of air. Even looking at the cavalry in the distance, it also changed the angle. I only feel that these cavalry under the command of King Yan are really majestic, especially the 10,000 or 20,000 ironclad knights, which are really mighty.

The afterglow of the sunset also looks a lot more beautiful, and the remnant sun is like blood, and these generals are in the mood to appreciate one or two.

Sure enough, I couldn't wait long, and the city gate was opened, and a hundred and ten soldiers and a few fast horses came out. After the group left the city, the gates were closed again.

But what these soldiers are holding in their hands is not swords, but food boxes one by one, and the boxes are filled with dishes one after another. There are also many people holding small wine jars one by one.

Zheng Zhi saw such a group of people from a distance and smiled. Now Zheng Zhi already has this momentum, and he is confident that his words have the power to break through the city gate.

Under the eyes, who else can enter the eyes of the generals in this world.

"The last general, Wang Zhang, meet His Royal Highness King Yan." Wang Zhang's armor was on his body, and he bowed on one knee.

Zheng Zhi nodded and said with a smile: "The banquet is ready, why send it out, there are not even decent tables and chairs outside the city." Let's go into the city and eat. ”

When Wang Zhang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the last general's family is in Tokyo, and I ask Your Highness to be merciful." ”

Zheng Zhi understood, and Wang Zhang's words were expressing his inner worries. He said: "Don't worry, then Tokyo won't have time to react." No one has the heart to find your home to punish the crime. I'm afraid that those dignitaries and dignitaries will not have time to escape for their lives. ”

Wang Zhang heard this, looked at Zheng Zhi's side of the ironclad fast horse, but understood, overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to invite: "Your Highness, please, although Fengqiu City is not as prosperous as Tokyo, there are also a few elegant places, where literati gather mostly, and there are beautiful scenery that can chant poems, and everyone caresses the piano and sings music, and the wine is just right." ”

Zheng Zhi smiled when he heard this, and his eyes also looked at Wang Zhang, Wang Zhang's words meant that he had asked Zheng Zhi a few times. is nothing more than that, and Wang Zhang thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Yan will like this kind of literati chanting poetry.

After all, this letter is too close to Tokyo, and it is not difficult for Zheng Zhi to hear about some things in Tokyo.

When he was able to go to Fengqiu City, Wang Zhang raised his hand and waved, and the city gate was opened again.

The knights who entered the city went on and on. Yamen, inns and restaurants in the city, and mansions of wealthy families. The house is full, and even this street is full of horse dung, and the smell is really bad.

The fire head camp set up a stove directly on the street, and the firewood was also borrowed from each house.

The so-called elegant place is a famous building where literati gather. Zheng Zhi drank and listened to music in the sound of music, so he didn't drink much, and after a shallow taste, Wang Zhanglian raised his cup to salute, starting from Zheng Zhi, to the seed master Dao, Wu Yong, and then to Zhu Long Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Yang Zaixing and others. After this trip, this general Wang had already vomited several times, and his steps began to be vain.

But Luda was the only one missing from this banquet, at this time it was dark, the gate of Fengqiu City was opened again, and the five thousand ironclad knights who had just eaten the meal in the army had already set off for the south. Ruda is one of them.

It is to cross the river overnight, and before Tokyo can react, he will occupy a suitable place on the other side of the river, and Ruda will come out overnight, and there will be an important errand, that is, to collect more ships, and I think that the five thousand iron armor will be sleepless tonight. In this way, tomorrow's army crossing the river will ensure stability and convenience.

Liu Yanqing had just taken over the defense of Tokyo, and he had also inspected the army in the city several times. The so-called army of seventy or eighty thousand made Liu Yanqing shake his head again and again. Seventy or eighty thousand troops, it really seems a little ridiculous.

But there is no way, and there are not even 70,000 or 80,000 weapons in the Tokyo treasury. Previously, Cai Jingshuai's army went north, so he moved the Tokyo treasury once, and most of the blades of more than 100,000 people were lost under the Daimyo's mansion city. Now, most of the blades that were originally in the Tokyo Treasury went to Goryeo and were distributed to the party members, but they were not wasted.

The night has ended, Liu Yanqing took his son Liu Guangshi back to the temporary residence next door to the Privy Council, after a busy day, it was time to rest.

didn't want to shout loudly in the Privy Council, so some people ran next door to call Liu Yanqing.

What he did was that the Battle of Fengqiu City had begun. Zheng Zhi's army is storming the city. This is also a letter from Wang Zhang asking for help. The reason why I say that the war has started is that I am afraid that the princes of Tokyo will not pay attention to it and will not rescue him.

Liu Yanqing was shocked when he heard this, he had just heard that after the war in Huazhou, the war had been suspended for several days, and there was no movement. Today, when we receive the military information, it means that Fengqiu is already in a fierce battle.

Liu Yanqing looked at the map and shouted: "Give an order quickly, gather all troops and horses, transfer 30,000, and go north to the riverbank to deploy defenses." ”

When Liu Guangshi heard this, he asked: "Father, why don't you save Fengqiu at this time, but deploy defenses along the river." ”

"The Yellow River is wide, and it is a moat. If you can stop Zheng Zhi on the bank of the Yellow River. There was no more hard fighting. We don't need to fight with Zheng Zhi to determine the winner. Liu Yanqing said, the best thing is to block Zheng Zhi directly on the riverbank, then there is no need for even a head-to-head confrontation, no matter how good the result is.

Liu Yanqing's implication was to give up the Fengqiu City that was fighting fiercely on the other side of the river. The abandonment of Fengqiu City was also to avoid fighting Zheng Zhi head-on. With these generals in Tokyo City, if they encounter strong soldiers under Zheng Zhi in the wild, the victory or defeat is self-evident.

Liu Guangshi nodded when he heard this, looked at the map again, and felt that his father was reasonable. The father and son led the troops to fight, and the tactics were the same. In history, Liu Yanqing was frightened by the Liao people outside Yanjing City and fled with a large army, resulting in a great defeat of the Song army.

Liu Guangshi, the fourth general of the Southern Song Dynasty, really deserves the sentence "Waste is famous". As long as you meet the golden man, you can hide from it, so you can hide. hid until the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin State ceased war. Liu Guangshi, who commanded countless generals, also avoided the title of "Meritorious Hero of the Auxiliary Country", and was named the Duke of Yongguo and the Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi.

Seal the hill to the Yellow River, fifty miles of land. Hurry up, and in more than an hour, Ruda has boarded the first boat to cross the river.

Countless soldiers and men ran upstream and downstream, searching for boats one by one, large ships and small boats were not spared, and even the small sampans in people's yards were carried to the river.

There is also a small town on the shore, which was well known to everyone during the Northern Song Dynasty. But at this time, Ruda didn't bother to ask more. The town was on the banks of the river, and the boats in the town were gone.

After the first Ruda crossed the river and sent out some rangers, he immediately began to search for boats on the south bank. 5,000 people, busy.

After a few hours of busyness, the east was already white, and 5,000 men and horses crossed the Yellow River, leaving only a few hundred people on the north bank to guard the ships and meet the army.

The rangers left early and were cruising southward, and the Yellow River waterway reached Kaifeng Tokyo, which was also fifty or sixty miles away.

The night is slightly white, and the field of vision is much wider.

Three rangers came from north to south, and the other three rangers from south to north were seen from a distance above the official road.

Before the two sides could get closer, the crossbows were already buzzing.

After shooting at each other from afar, they all heard the clanging sound of feathered arrows hitting their armor from the opposite side.

The two sides did not engage in battle, but fought their horses and turned back. At this time, what is more important than engaging is to hurry back and report to their respective generals.

Liu Yanqing had just come out of the Tokyo City Gate not far away, and several rangers sent out by his command had already flown back to report.

When Liu Yanqing heard the report, he was shocked, and asked, "How far is the enemy ranger from here?" ”

"More than twenty miles to the north."

"What? More than twenty miles! Liu Yanqing looked annoyed, and immediately shouted: "Order, quickly pass the order, return to the city, everyone enters the city and goes to the city wall." ”

The plan to resist the river has been shattered. Even Liu Yanqing didn't know how many people crossed the river, but he didn't dare to risk his life and lead his troops forward. It is also that these Tokyo soldiers around him are really useless, relying on these horses to fight Zheng Zhi, where does Liu Yanqing have the courage.

The army, which had just left the city not far away, immediately began to swarm into the city again. The wide walls of Tokyo City were squeezed to the ground. Even these soldiers who flocked to the city also felt relieved. Only within the walls can there be a sense of security.

Luda heard the report, but he didn't hurry, but said: "Explore again!" ”

When the ranger heard this, he beat his horse and went south again. This time, the rangers all looked nervous and vigilant, that is, the few enemy rangers they had encountered before were not bad, at least they could shoot the feather arrows more accurately, so they didn't dare to be too relaxed.

But I ran all the way to the bottom of the city of Tokyo, and I saw the towering Tokyo city wall, and I never met a ranger again. It's just that on the walls of Tokyo, there are people standing densely packed. Then he will turn around and report again.

But it was Ruda who was already ready to defend against the enemy, and everyone got on their horses and lined up, just waiting for the enemy to come, and swore to defend this bridgehead to cross the river.

When the sky was dark, the army that had rested all night had already come out of Fengqiu City.

Before noon, the army had already reached the bank of the Yellow River, and began to cross the river in boats. 50,000 people and horses, crossing the river is also a big project. Fortunately, everything was ready, and there was no panic in the slightest.

In fact, many waterways of the Yellow River are not suitable for boating, or they are quite dangerous to sail. Therefore, the Yellow River is not as good as the Yangtze River and other southern rivers, and there are many fewer large ships on the waterway. Even if big ships enter the Yellow River, they mostly pass by, and the real shipping waterway is the north-south canal waterway, not the east-west waterway of the Yellow River.

Therefore, the boats on the Yellow River, mainly small boats, also made it a lot of trouble for the army to cross the river.

Zheng Zhi stopped on the bank of the river, looked at a small town not far to the left, and said with a smile: "This town is famous for thousands of years. The last time I crossed the river, I was only in a hurry, but I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I looked at it again, I really remembered many things. ”

The planter was not familiar with the terrain of Gyeonggi, so he was puzzled.

When Wu Yong heard this, he said: "What Your Highness said is that this is the land of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The Land of Dragons? The seed master immediately reacted and said, "Isn't this Chen Qiaoyi?" ”

Zheng Zhi nodded when he heard this: "It is the place where Taizu mutinied, and the yellow robe is added, what a big drama." The world has been surnamed Zhao since then. There was also this Great Song Dynasty. ”

Chen Qiao mutinied, and the yellow robe was added. It's the word yellow robe, which comes from here. This story, in this Great Song Dynasty, who does not know who does not know. According to the history books, Zhao Kuangyin, who was a general of the Later Zhou Dynasty, was forced to wear an imperial dragon robe by the generals under his command, and had no choice but to usurp the throne and seize power. But who in this world doesn't know in their hearts that Zhao Kuangyin was helplessly forced to oppress the orphans and widows of Hou Zhou after being returned by the generals, but it was just a historical drama. There is no difference from the drama of folding and seeking yang and yin.

Wu Yong heard Zheng Zhi's words, and saw that Zheng Zhi kept looking at Chenqiao Town, thinking about it in his heart, and it seemed that he would also reach the meaning of Zheng Zhi's heart, and with an excited face, he turned back to look at the left and right generals. Even turn over and dismount, you have to do something.

Zheng Zhi saw that Wu Yong dismounted with excitement, and already knew what Wu was thinking in his heart, so he said, "Pedant, you think too much." ”

Wu Yong was stunned when he heard this, and he thought that Zheng Zhi was telling this story to imply that everyone would learn the drama of the yellow robe and support Zheng Zhi to ascend the throne in one step. At this time, when he heard Zheng Zhi's words, he was on the spot, and then lowered his head and turned over and sat down.

Wu Yong was so excited, he interpreted Zheng Zhi's words a few more times in his heart, and it was also Wu Yong's character. It also shows Wu Yong's inner longing and expectation. Wu Yong had obviously been looking forward to the day when Zheng Zhi ascended the throne and became emperor. That day was also the time when Wu's name spread to the world, a teacher in the mountains of Yunzhou, and became the founder of the country. The history books must also be big books and special books, which have been passed down through the ages, and thinking about it makes Wu Yong feel extremely excited.

Zheng Zhi saw Wu's several actions. Feeling something, he opened his mouth and said: "The yellow robe and the body may not be as the drama that Taizu directed and acted as the folk legend, maybe the historical facts are what are recorded in the history books." ”

When Wu Yong heard this, he asked, "How can Your Highness see that the historical facts may be as recorded in the historical books?" ”

Zheng Zhi looked at Wu Yong, his eyes were playful, but he didn't say much.

Then he saw Wu Yong look down at himself for a while, and only after a while did he react, smiled embarrassedly, and replied: "Your Highness Shengming, there is nothing in this world that can hide from Your Highness's discernment." ”

was seen through his mind, and he was teased again. Wu Yong didn't care, just said a few words to hide his embarrassment.

Zheng Zhi also saw Wu Yong's reaction, so he suddenly thought about it a little more. The generals under Zhao Kuangyin's command, I think there are many people who have the same idea as Wu Yong at this time. It is also normal to support Zhao Kuangyin to ascend the throne. Zhao Kuangyin half-pushed, and so it became a thing. It's not a planned show.

Maybe history is like this, and there is no need to delve into it, just talk about it.
