Liang Yibury was actually captured?!

Li Fugui was terrified, this can be said to be his last hope, let's think so first! At this point, it is inevitable that he will be executed, and if someone can kill the enemy in the future, it can be regarded as avenging himself, and at least there is a hope of revenge.

But Liang Yibury was captured alive, and it seems that his situation is also very bad, and maybe he will also worry about his life. There is no hope of revenge, this is probably the most uncomfortable thing for Li Fugui, his eyes were full of horror and despair for a while, and he couldn't say a word.

Wang Shao and Jing Sili were also quite shocked, they didn't expect Lin Zhao to chase the poor Kou really had some results, and he actually caught the Western Xia Prime Minister, what a big fish!

This is interesting, but it is a great achievement! Of course, if Liang Yi is buried, it may cause a series of turmoil, and how to deal with it is also a troublesome matter.

Wang Shao felt that no matter what, he had to report the matter to Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, as soon as possible, and then report it to Bianjing, so that the people above could make a decision. But one thing is for sure, Lin Zhao is really powerful, and this time the credit is not small, and it seems that it is time to be promoted again.

Taking advantage of Li Fugui's stunned moment, Lin Zhao carried his clothes and walked into the distance, where hundreds of soldiers who died in vain were buried. Lin Zhao's intentions are already very obvious, what he wants to do is self-evident, and everyone can see it.

Wang Shao and Jing Sili just looked at this scene coldly, and no one stepped forward to stop them. That's the way it is, Li Fugui is completely free to take it upon himself, and a person who kills soldiers and collaborates with the enemy and treason is not worthy of sympathy. Lin Zhao, on the other hand, is doing what he says, and a public case should come to an end, and there is an end.

Walk to the graves of the soldiers. Lin Zhao threw Li Fugui to the ground violently. Said coldly: "Li Fugui." Look at them, do you know if you're wrong? How do you feel in your heart? ”

"Ahh Li Fugui first suffered pain, then looked at the low and undulating grave, and then turned around to see the sharp knife in Lin Zhao's hand, and was immediately frightened, and howled again and again.

Death is very terrible, especially for people like Li Fugui, who are greedy for power and glory, and they are even more afraid of death! Didn't escape. If you are caught, you can only accept your fate. He thought he would be sent back to Bianjing to stand trial. Capital crimes are inevitable, but when it comes to Bianjing, the officials and the prince may take care of the old feelings, or threaten them with things they know, at least they can die a decent death.

If I could, I might have saved my life. Even at this time, he still hasn't given up his extravagant hopes, as long as he lives, he will have more hope. It's a pity that Lin Zhao didn't give him this opportunity at all. Instead, he was summarily executed.

Lin Zhao said coldly: "What? Afraid of death? Scared? Have you ever thought about when you set fire to the barracks? What was the mood of those soldiers? ”

"Please, don't kill me, don't kill me......" Li Fugui was a spineless thing after all, and immediately begged for mercy, looking terrified to the extreme.

"Hmph, begging for mercy? What right do you have to beg for mercy? Have you ever taken pity on those more than 1,000 soldiers? They fought hard for their country, did not die on the battlefield, and finally survived, but were mutilated...... Thou hast sinned so heinously that heaven will not tolerate it. Lin Zhao's expression was grim, remembering the tragic situation in Dashun City that night, Li Fugui had to die. Only in this way can we comfort the souls of the dead soldiers in the sky and fulfill their promises to the soldiers!

"Don't ...... Don't ......"

Lin Zhao didn't pay attention to Li Fugui's cry of mercy at all, and his hand raised the knife and fell, and the sharp knife stabbed directly into Li Fugui's chest.

Li Fugui didn't even have time to shout, he fell, his pupils instantly became dim, and his eyes were very complicated, with horror, resentment, and remorse......

Since his rebirth, Lin Zhao has killed a lot of people, but most of them are fighting on the battlefield. It seems that this is the first time that he has slaughtered a person in front of him. After experiencing so many things, Lin Zhao has deeply realized that if he wants to live well in this era of supremacy of power, although he does not have to be ruthless, he must not be soft-hearted and have too much mercy.

After killing Li Fugui, Lin Zhao's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he said: "People like you should have been killed with a thousand knives and Ling Chi, but now I give you a good time, which can be regarded as cheap for you!" ”

Afterwards, Lin Zhao looked up to the sky and said loudly: "Soldiers, rest in peace, the traitor has been awarded the head and avenged you!" ”

At this moment, the cold wind was howling outside Dashun City, and there were faint whimpering sounds in the sky. It seems that countless heroic spirits have come in person, or wept, or moved, and their spirits in heaven can finally rest in peace.

The soldiers who were alive in the city also had a lot of feelings, and they did not have the slightest mercy for Li Fugui's death. They all know in their hearts the affairs of Dashun City, it is absolutely intolerable to harm their subordinates, they deserve it, they should die! Especially this time, he actually collaborated with the enemy and treason, led the Western Xia army to attack, and made the northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty unpeaceful.

The officers and men of the Western Army had to go to the battlefield to fight, and there were countless casualties! Their relatives were also affected by the war, and were even mutilated by the Tanguts, so they were naturally full of anger. Therefore, seeing Lin Zhao kill Li Fugui, none of the soldiers had mercy, and they all applauded, which was really a very happy thing. There are even people who cry and cry, it is said that some of the dead soldiers in Dashun City are their brothers or fellow villagers!

A moment later, dawn came, the morning light in the east was faint, a morning glow appeared, and a new day began, bright and brilliant......

Wang Shao also sighed lightly, Li Fugui is dead! was killed by Lin Zhao, and it was also fulfilled by him. In this way, the old forces of Lee Fu-gyu in Gyeongju will be completely dead, which will help him better control Gyeongju. At the same time, it is also a good incentive for the army, and in the next counterattack against Western Xia, it will be like a rainbow, and victory will be much easier. Wang Shao is not a person who is greedy for power, what he wants is this objectively favorable result.

It was daybreak, and after a night of fierce fighting, everyone was very tired, leaving some soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The rest either entered Dashun City to rest or set up camp tents outside the city.

Wang Shao also followed Jing Sili and Lin Zhao into Dashun City, and said as he walked: "There is a very important matter at the moment, how should Liang Yibu deal with it?" ”

Although the people were captured by Lin Zhao, they also had some grudges against each other. But Liang Yi's burial status is precious. Special and sensitive. Don't act rashly. If it was an ordinary prisoner, they would have disposed of it, such as Li Fugui. But Lin Zhao didn't count what Lin Zhao said, Wang Shao didn't count, and no one in Gyeongju said it at the moment.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Let's report to Han Xuanfu first, and at the same time report to Bianjing?" Everything is under the orders of Lord Zhizhou! ”

What Wang Shao was afraid of was that Lin Zhao had an idea in his heart, and he was very satisfied to see him so cooperative. nodded and said: "So very good, Dongyang is a great achievement this time, with Liang Yi buried in his hand, it is an important bargaining chip, it seems that this war can end early!" ”

Jing Sili and Lin Zhao also have the same idea, sometimes an important person is better than a thousand troops. Liang Yibury is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Liang, so he is destined to be worth this price. It would be best if the war could end earlier, at least the soldiers would be spared the scourge of the war and suffer fewer casualties. The experience of Dashun City taught them that the war was really too cruel.

Lin Zhao smiled: "Since that's the case. Then loosen the ties for Liang Guoxiang and entertain him. My Great Song Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and I can't neglect the guests. ”

Wang Shao smiled lightly after hearing this: "It should indeed be so...... Oops, last night's battle was won thanks to the fire in the Xixia camp, but your handiwork? It's wonderful! ”

Jing Sili and Lin Zhao were stunned when they heard this, and said in amazement: "Isn't it Wang Zhizhou's doing?" ”

"You didn't do it?" This time it was Wang Shao's turn to be stunned.

Lin Zhao shook his head and said: "The besieged water in Dashun City is impassable, we can't get out at all, seeing the situation just now, I thought that Lord Zhizhou had already made arrangements!" ”

The problem arose, and after several exchanges and questions, they all realized a problem. The most important reason for the victory of last night's battle was the chaos in the Western Xia camp, and the fire burned wonderfully.

But when you put it all together, it is strange that the fire was not set by any of them.

"It's not your doing...... Wang Shao said: "When we came from afar, the Xixia camp was already on fire...... If it weren't for the fire horse that disrupted the position of the Tanguts, it would not be easy for us to break the enemy...... At least not so much...... Who did it? ”

Lin Zhao also had the same question, it was obvious that this mysterious person had helped his own people. But who is it? Why is there not the slightest sign of it, or even the slightest wonder who did it? It was amazing that there was no trace left behind, and now that we have won, we have never come to see each other. But at least one thing, these people are friends and foes, and they have done them a great favor.

Wang Shao also thinks so, but what he is curious about is where is the starting point for these people to help? Is it to help yourself? Contribute to the Great Song Dynasty? Or do you want to help Lin Zhao? He had a vague feeling that these people seemed to be coming for Lin Zhao.

In the midst of a major victory, it is inevitable that a little suspense will be floated! Wang Shao pondered for a long time, thought for a while and said, "Maybe it was done by patriotic righteous people!" ”

"Yes, it's a patriot!"

At present, I can only think so, Wang Shao naturally omitted this suspense in the military report to Han Jiang and Bianjing. As long as things are satisfied, more unnecessary questions will make people jump and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The fact that the Tanguts lost this battle does not mean that they will not make a comeback. In particular, it is not known what the consequences will be caused by Liang Yi's capture.

Therefore, the situation in Gyeongju is grim, and I don't have the time to take care of these things? These people are willing to help, at least there is no malicious intent, since people don't want to show up, why bother to get to the bottom of it?

Lin Zhao was noncommittal about this, he didn't think that these mysterious people had anything to do with him, and the shocking secrets hidden behind them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was dawn, and the tragedy and mess of last night could still be seen in the fields around Dashun City.

Li Cheng looked at this situation and said with a smile: "Brother Thunder, look, a big victory!" ”

"Yes, it's really beautiful, it's a wonderful fire, and after reporting it to the sect master, I will definitely reward you." Jiang Leiting was also very happy, the victory of the army was one thing, and the more important thing was that the son was safe and sound, which was more important than anything else.

Li Cheng smiled: "It's still thanks to the momentum created by Brother Thunder......"

"You kid, kidding me, aren't you?" Jiang Leiting laughed and scolded, if it wasn't for Wang Shao's army arriving in time last night, what effect would a few of them have if they bluffed?

Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "It seems that I misunderstood Wang Shao before, as you and the sect master said, he had already planned. It's just that it makes things so thrilling. And put the son in a dangerous situation. Something shouldn't be. ”

Jiang Leiting said leisurely: "Maybe Wang Shao wants to ask for realistic results." Let's attract the Tangut people to take the bait! If he knew the identity of the son, he would never dare to take such a risk...... This person didn't borrow a knife to kill people, it's not bad to murder his son, Ouyang Gong fancies the person, and his character is really good! ”

"Yes, that's the best, and now it's a complete one. I heard that Li Fugui was stabbed by Gongzi, and Liang Yibu was also captured. This is a great achievement, it seems that Childe is expected to be promoted! Li Cheng smiled, this guy has always been known for being well-informed.

Jiang Leiting pondered for a moment and said: "At present, there is no problem with the safety of the son for the time being, let's withdraw first, withdraw cleanly, and don't leave any clues for Wang Shao." ”

Rescuing Lin Zhao is one thing, but his identity cannot be exposed because of this, at least it is not the time yet. Li Chengxing's severity immediately nodded and said, "I'm already preparing." Let's evacuate and return to Gyeongju to report to the sect master!" ”

They thought they would bring the good news back to Gyeongju. The Iron Mask Sect Master will definitely be very relieved and happy. But unexpectedly, after hearing this, the Iron Mask Sect Master's tone was flat, and he said for a long time: "It's a good thing, at least it's better than you imagined...... Originally, I was very difficult, but now it seems that there is a turnaround. ”

What happened? Jiang Leiting and Li Cheng both had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and after seeing the secret letter in the hands of the Iron Mask Sect Master, their faces became a little gloomy. All the victories were gone in this moment, and something seemed to be wrong......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Western Xia, Xingqing Mansion!

"What, the prime minister was captured by the Song army?" Empress Dowager Liang was shocked when she heard the news.

Liang Yiburi's guards escaped smoothly, and as soon as they arrived at the Xixia City, they rode fast horses and delivered the news to Xingqing Mansion in time. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Liang learned the results of Dashun City in the shortest possible time.

Defeated, the plan to attack Dashun City failed again, and the 50,000-strong army was almost completely annihilated.

Such a result is very surprising, but Empress Dowager Liang always feels that it is expected. After all, the younger brother was a little anxious for quick success, and some were not careful enough, so he didn't even notice that this was a bureau set up by the Song Dynasty. took the liberty of biting the bait, but now the bait was not eaten, but the soldiers were defeated and returned......

Some of the remnants of the defeated army will come back, but the younger brother Liang Yibury has not returned......

The dignified Western Xia minister was captured by the Song army, how funny, but how frightening, and it was completely beyond the expectations and bearing of the Empress Dowager Liang.

She could accept the defeat very calmly, but she never thought that Liang Yibury would not be able to escape and would become a prisoner.

He was the dignified minister of Western Xia, and his capture was a very serious matter, and its impact was far greater than the defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops.

It is self-evident how much of a blow this dealt to the morale of the Western Xia army and the face of the Western Xia Kingdom. More importantly, Liang Yibury is her own brother, whether it is sibling affection, or dependence on her younger brother and other aspects, it is a huge blow.

From the perspective of family affection, Empress Dowager Liang naturally didn't want her brother to make any mistakes, but at this moment he was captured by the Song army. Will life be threatened, and will it be possible to return to the Western Xia Kingdom? Everything is unknown, and the more this happens, the more worrying it becomes......

Moreover, politically, his younger brother is the minister of Western Xia, and his orphans and widows need him to support, and there are too many things to rely on. After losing Liang Yi's burial, Empress Dowager Liang didn't know how to maintain the precarious position of herself and her son Li Bingchang? It can be said that Liang Yi buried a person who carried the fortune of the Liang family and the entire Western Xia Kingdom.

He's so important! But now he has become a prisoner of the Song army!

Empress Dowager Liang asked in a deep voice: "Say, what is the state minister...... How did you fall into the enemy camp? ”

The guard who hurried back said: "The prime minister has been directing the attack on Dashun City since he came in, and he is about to capture the city, but he doesn't want to go wrong at the last moment...... The camp was attacked, and the Song army suddenly slaughtered from behind us...... Our army was caught off guard, and the formation was in great confusion, and a situation of rout and retreat was produced......

The prime minister wanted to turn the tide, but he was unable to return to the sky, so we had to escort the prime minister to leave as soon as possible. But he didn't want to be caught up by Lin Zhao, the defender of the Song Dynasty, and captured the prime minister! ”

"Lin Zhao? It's him again! "Empress Dowager Liang has heard this name many times, but she didn't expect her younger brother to fail this time, or she was defeated in the hands of this person.

Could it be that this Lin Zhao is the nemesis of his younger brother's fate? Why did they lose at his hands every time? This time, he was directly captured, and his life was in danger!

"How's that okay?" Empress Dowager Liang calmed down and thought about it carefully, Liang Yi's burial would definitely not be in danger of life for the time being, and the people of the Song Dynasty would definitely not kill him easily. If the prime minister died, the Western Xia would instead take revenge with the enemy, which was not a good thing for the Song Dynasty.

It's just that what will the people of the Song Dynasty do? Use him as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with yourself? Or is it used to humiliate Western Xia and undermine morale? Whether it is out of family affection and political considerations, Liang Yibury must be rescued.

But how to rescue? Empress Dowager Liang was at a loss for a while, and she didn't know what to do!

It was at this moment that a military report from Fuzhou arrived at her. After Empress Dowager Liang read it, her phoenix eyes suddenly had a little more brilliance, and the corners of her mouth also had a smile!

It turned out that I was helpless, but I didn't expect the turnaround to come after a while! Empress Dowager Liang held the military newspaper in her hand and said softly: "Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao, you captured Liang Yi the day before yesterday, and I want you to send me back tomorrow!" I'd like to see, what kind of character are you? (To be continued.) )
