"Defeated, Li Yuhou is killed, we should escape."

The Tang defenders who attacked tonight were scattered, and the rest of the guerrillas scattered in the mountains and forests, fleeing for their lives along the road they had come from back to the Tang army's garrison near Xuanwu Lake.

Such a big defeat made them lose their proud capital, and also made them disgraced, and they also failed the heavy responsibility of Emperor Jinling, these soldiers knew Li Congqing's temper, so they did not dare to speak out at will, for fear that this emperor would blame them.

The faster you run, the greater the chance of survival, and during this period of time, the life of the Tang defenders was not easy, and the military reports of the Privy Council came one after another, most of which were the records of the defeated army in front.

The armies of Wu Yue and Song on the eastern front gradually approached the side of Jurong, and the strength of the other party was so strong, the fall of Jurong City must have been overnight, but to the surprise of the Tang army, when the Song army and Wu Yueguo's army arrived on the east side of Jurong, they slowed down.

As for the Western Front, it was the most defeated node in the entire war, and the Tang Army could be said to be losing and retreating, without a single victory.

Now the defeat everywhere weighed down the hearts of all the Tang army officers and soldiers, the Song and Han coalition armies were too strong, and they now controlled the entire river, and the supply of food and ordnance in the rear relied on the powerful Song naval army to transport them from all over the country.

The Song army was too strong, and their equipment was too strong.

On the other hand, the Tang Army, compared with the armament, is a lot behind, and the salary of the soldiers is not as good as that of the Song State, of course, they only complain in private, but in the Tang Army garrison in Xuanwu Lake, such unfavorable remarks are also spreading day by day, so that the soldiers at the bottom also realize that their identity as a soldier of the Tang State is not as good as a soldier of the Song State.

Fleeing for their lives all night made them feel stunned, they didn't know that the loyal Datang would be able to survive this kind of disaster.

……

The warm breeze is blowing, in the station of Zhongshan Lin Renzhao, tonight's victory made the hearts of the Runzhou army deeply happy, and everyone was also cleaning up the mess of the station, and there was a kind of pride and ambition to capture the head of Jinling City while talking and laughing.

Zhao Dezhao and Lin Renzhao walked into the military tent together, Zhao Dezhao just looked at Lin Renzhao along the way, and did not be verbose, and Lin Renzhao was also silent, and he couldn't answer for a while, the country's loyalty, righteousness, courtesy, righteousness and shame are particularly important to him.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao raised his head, he felt that Confucius's spirit of knowing that he could not do it must have touched many people, so he persuaded hard: "General Lin, don't treat me at any time, the kid implores General Lin to take the righteousness of the world as the priority, and the lord of Li is now in Kaifeng, everything is fine, the general should not forget how to promise the kid in the military tent tonight?" ”

Lin Renzhao flickered, he was very grateful for Zhao Dezhao's advice, which was due to his kindness to these soldiers, Lin Renzhao arched his hand and said: "I Lin Renzhao has not forgotten this, if there is an opportunity in the future, Lin will definitely do his best to repay the thousand years old." ”

After listening to Lin Renzhao's words, Zhao Dezhao understood his intentions, if he persuaded him harder at this time, it would make Lin Renzhao feel that he was forcing him, in this troubled world, many people have lost loyalty, righteousness, and filial piety, but Lin Renzhao is not like this, Zhao Dezhao feels that it is useless to keep talking, he will definitely understand it slowly in the future.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao suddenly arched his hand and said: "General Lin is really loyal and righteous, since this is the case, the kid will not force the general." But General, we have a common purpose in Jinling, and that is Li Congqing'er. ”

Lin Renzhao didn't say much, and then he ordered the soldiers in the barracks to help Zhao Dezhao prepare a place to sleep.

In the middle of the night, everything in the barracks was being sorted out, and Zhao Dezhao and the others went to rest.

……

When it was almost dawn, the sky was slightly bright, and one or two fingers could still be seen.

Now that they have arrived at Zhongshan, they also hope to see the rising daylight.

Zhao Dezhao and Shang Haobin had already gotten up early, and war did not mean sacrificing their leisure time for them.

Zhao Dezhao and Shang Haobin washed their faces with cold water at will and ran outside the barracks, and the two were just about to leave the barracks to climb the top of the mountain, at this time, Lin Renzhao got up early for morning exercises, heard the sound, and rushed over.

This morning, he casually wore an ordinary round-necked robe, his beard was unkempt, he hadn't even washed, and he looked preoccupied.

Last night he also thought about it all night in the barracks, the military tent that belonged to him, the lights were lit all night, and Lin Renzhao's tall body was also reflected on the military tent, this morning he got up to practice martial arts, and he heard the movement of running in the military camp on the west side.

At this time, Lin Renzhao had already rushed to the front of Zhao Dezhao and Shang Haobin, and he said casually: "Your Highness, little strong man, where are you going?" ”

Zhao Dezhao replied: "General Lin, I heard that the scenery of the sun rising in Zhongshan is good, and the two of us want to climb the top of the mountain and see all the mountains at a glance. ”

Lin Renzhao suddenly said: "Look at the mountains? I didn't expect His Highness to have such an interest, so I, Lin someone, have not seen this rising sunshine for so many years, can we go together today? ”

Zhao Dezhao felt that this was Lin Renzhao's intention to show favor to him, and he immediately said: "Then dare to be kind, General Lin please." ”

The road to the top of Zhongshan is still smooth, and there are people here all the time, but now that the war is raging, the road is a little dilapidated.

The wild grass was overgrown and spread upward, and the three of them pushed aside the wild grass, and then Shi Shiran walked along the road to the top of the mountain.

The climate in late April was still a little cool in the mountains, and the three of them wore thin clothes, which also felt a little cool.

But the three of them did not feel any cold, for this morning light, the three of them like devout believers to the top of the mountain pilgrimage, there are also many famous temples near Zhongshan, but Zhao Dezhao did not take the ordinary road, the more difficult the road, the more he felt the desire to conquer.

Lin Renzhao also had a stronger and stronger impression of Zhao Dezhao at this time, he felt that the son of an emperor should be a pampered second ancestor, and his body should be weak and weak, but when he saw it today, he changed his opinion of Zhao Dezhao.

Along the way, Lin Renzhao always talked about some national affairs and governing policies from time to time, but Zhao Dezhao on the side always talked eloquently, and his novel concept of governing the country and the concept of benevolence also left a deep impression on Lin Renzhao. Although Shang Haobin on the side also wanted to interject a few words, he knew Zhao Dezhao's intentions, so he just smiled and didn't answer, acting as a listener, and occasionally seeing the scenery of the mountains and forests.

For example, "governing a big country is like cooking small fresh", "after the stars, you can set the prairie on fire", "being an official is not the master of the people, it is better to go home and sell steamed cakes" and so on.

At this moment, the sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the mountain roads and mountains and forests in the distance have slowly unfolded in the eyes of the three of them.

This path in the mountains was opened up by woodcutters chopping wood, and the road under their feet is becoming more and more unstable at the moment, and the scenery is only limited to this mountain forest.

Although Lin Renzhao looked at the scenery in front of him, he felt in his heart that although the scenery along the way was good, it was not as strong as the spurting feelings on Zhao Dezhao's body, although this kind of influence was mild, but it stirred Lin Renzhao's heart over and over again, making his soul also reborn.

The three of them continued to walk the sheep intestine path, at this time in front of everyone was a python with a thick arm, in this season, few pythons came in and out, but this python with thick arms still made the three of them a little frightened, but there was only one way to the top of the mountain.

Zhao Dezhao thought for a moment, then untied the dagger from his waist, and then bowed his body to go to the other end.

Unaware of the people around it, the python was still hovering on the road, proud of everything, like a ringing horse, making it its own, and with its heavy, nimble body and sharp fangs, it was able to kill any creature that threatened it in a single day.

"Your Highness is in danger, let's let Lin come."

Lin Renzhao's skills are also agile, but when the poisonous snake saw him, it did not move its pace, it despised any opponent who provoked it, and it felt that the other party wanted to use it.

After a while, the python moved its body and came towards Lin Renzhao, and the two fought.

Suddenly, Zhao Dezhao was in a hurry, remembering that there was sulfur and other substances in the gunpowder, so he said to Lin Renzhao: "General Lin, snakes are generally afraid of realgar, and the kid thinks that I have realgar wine in my backpack, which can be used." ”

Realgar, good can kill a hundred poisons, ward off a hundred evils, make Gu poison, people admire it, enter the mountains and forests and tigers and wolves ambush, enter the river and avoid a hundred poisons. In a few days, it will be the fifth day of the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and Zhao Dezhao has always carried a bottle of realgar wine, which is really useful today.

Zhao Dezhao took out the realgar wine and threw it to Lin Renzhao.

Lin Renzhao loosened the wooden lid and sprinkled it on the python.

The python was really afraid of this kind of realgar wine, and at this moment its body wanted to retreat, and the snake's head spit out the core, and it seemed to realize that the person in front of it had a way to subdue it.

The python hurriedly retreated, but Lin Renzhao began to move forward, and Zhao Dezhao on the side also took out a dagger by the way to block the back road of the python, Shang Haobin was a little afraid of snakes, but in this case, he still hoped to help.

…… After a long time, the three of them were also soaked, and the python with a thick arm also fell to the ground, leaving a small pool of blood on the ground.

The three of them had already subdued the python, and at this moment Zhao Dezhao said: "After the soldier eats the python, he will expel the evil diseases of the body." ”

As Zhao Dezhao spoke, he held a dagger in his hand and cut it one by one, and his technique was very skillful, which also benefited from his cooking skills.

The python had already been dismembered several pieces, so Zhao Dezhao took out a cloth package and put the python inside.

"Why does General Lin look at the kid like this?" Zhao Dezhao put the cloth bag on his body, and then saw Lin Renzhao with a suspicious expression.

Lin Renzhao said: "It's okay, let Lin carry this." ”

Lin Renzhao immediately took the burden off Zhao Dezhao's shoulders and put it on himself.

"Thank you, General Lin."

Lin Renzhao smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness's temperament makes Lin feel cordial, and Lin likes to socialize with friends with His Highness's personality." ”

"General Lin praised it, thanks to General Lin all the way."

After walking for about half an hour, they finally reached the summit.

The mountains in the distance were displayed in front of the three of them, the mountains were undulating, lush, and the air was extremely fresh.

Zhao Dezhao and the three of them took a sharp breath, and suddenly felt that all the dust in their chests left their bodies, and the filth in their bodies was also wiped away.

The three of them looked at the mountains from afar, especially the light that was as ruddy as blood, encapsulating all the peaks of all sizes into their arms.

This is a feeling of being proud of the world, and at this moment everyone has the feeling of "being at the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains at a glance".

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao pointed to the egg-sized sun in the distance, revealing a small head, and said: "General Lin, you see how magnificent this morning light is, this rising sun, it symbolizes new hope, but also symbolizes the years to come, this is also the new country that my Great Song Dynasty is pursuing, it will be warm all over the world, so that all the people can feel the warmth of the sun, and the place where the sun shines in the future is where the people of my Great Song Dynasty live." ”

Shang Haobin didn't say much, during the whole process, he has always acted as a spectator, everything is for the Great Song Dynasty, for the world, he has reason to believe that Lin Renzhao in history will finally firmly stand in the perspective of the whole world, and he also understands Zhao Dezhao's intentions.

"The place where the sun shines is the place where the people of the Great Song Dynasty live." Lin Renzhao secretly chewed on this sentence, he looked at Zhao Dezhao on the side in surprise, but he found that when Zhao Dezhao saw this daylight, his expression was very gentle, and the gaze in his eyes was very firm, like a devout believer.

Under the light of the morning light, he felt that Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, was as tall and solemn as a Buddha statue, and for a moment, Lin Renzhao had a stunned expression, and he felt that the young man standing beside him would lead the people of the whole world to live a stable and happy life in the future.

After admiring the mountains and the magnificence of the morning light, the three of them returned to the barracks along the way they came.

Although Lin Renzhao was carrying heavy snake meat on his back, he didn't feel any heaviness, on the contrary, his heart was relaxed, and the road under his feet was much smoother.
