On the fourteenth day of Yangzhou's siege, Zhao Zheng didn't wait for Yan Tianwu to bring firearms, and when he arrived, it was a holy decree that disappointed everyone. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The imperial court promised to give Li Quan 1,000 people grain and grass, so that he could withdraw his troops and retreat to Chuzhou.

It was Ma Defang who came to announce the decree, and as soon as he arrived in Yangzhou, he privately revealed the content of the decree, and before the decree was read, the Yangzhou officials who came to receive the decree were expressionless, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed. Ma Defang was afraid that the soldiers of Yangzhou would not understand Zhao Yun's helplessness and painstaking efforts, and deliberately sighed: "The two governments have their own considerations, and the officials are not familiar with political affairs, so they have to rely on the ministers of the two governments, and the officials also have to understand the painstaking achievements of the two governments." ”

In a word, the attitude of the emperor on the surface of Yangzhou officials on this is completely throwing his hands at the shopkeeper, and he feels helpless, if you want to blame Shi Miyuan, blame Shi Miyuan. The most important thing is that the decree has not yet been pronounced, and the meaning is clear, which means that some of you will reject the decree or refuse to accept it.

"Bachelor Zhao......" Ma Defang counted on Zhao Shanxiang, the biggest official in Yangzhou, to be able to push back this holy decree, but Shi Miyuan has controlled the court for more than 20 years, Zhao Shanxiang knows Shi Miyuan's ruthlessness, he is also old, and he can no longer withstand the toss of the court, so he avoided Ma Defang's eyes.

Ma Defang was slightly disappointed when she saw Zhao Shanxiang's evasive eyes, so she had to set her eyes on Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan is currently the governor of Chizhou and Jiangdong Changping, the second son of Zhao Fang, a generation of famous ministers, and the elder brother of Zhao Kui, who is very prestigious in the Lianghuai area.

Behind this holy decree is related to the struggle between imperial power and relative power, which is extremely dangerous, and as a civil official, Zhao Fan is still faintly inclined to the two governments, but Shi Miyuan's dictatorship makes him dislike, but he also does not want to ascend to the throne by defecting to the emperor, and is regarded as a fortunate person, and his life's achievements are all due to the emperor's favor.

Zhao Fan was hesitating, and a voice floated in, "Ma Zhongliang, you are here from Lin'an, you must be tired, I will keep this holy decree on your behalf, and after you receive the wind and wash the dust." Would you like to read it again? ”

"National Teacher!" Ma Defang's eyes lit up, this time Zhao Yun and Shi Miyuan openly clashed, although Zhao Yun preferred other officials to stand up for him, but everyone was suspicious of Zhao Yun's political level and did not dare to bet, so the scene was slightly embarrassing. Therefore, the current situation is to push the holy decree back first, and now the only person in the court can openly wrestle with Shi Miyuan.

"The national teacher is serious, everyone is running around for the country, how can there be a dusty servant, but I heard from the official family that the soldiers in Yangzhou are brave and brave, and they will ......not leave a piece of armor killed by the Li thief" Ma Defang successfully deviated from the topic with some nonsense.

Zhao Zheng glanced at Chengdao, and asked Chengdao to take over the holy decree in Ma Defang's hand, Ma Defang was also an old fox, and quietly handed the holy decree to the little eunuch beside him while speaking.

Then he received the decree from the little eunuch who became enlightened.

Zhao Shanxiang also took advantage of the situation and let a group of officials flock to him, Ma Defang introduced him to the layout of Yangzhou City and took him out of Yangzhou Mansion.

Zhao Zheng took the holy decree and looked at the blazing fireworks burning in the brazier, and threw the holy decree directly into the brazier.

"I'm going in retreat! Don't see anyone these days! ”

Enlightenment looked at the burning holy decree, and a raging flame also ignited in his heart, this is the national teacher! How great it is to dare to fight against the two governments with the strength of one person.

――

Ma Defang walked around Yangzhou City, saw that the time was much worse, and proposed to go back to the government to read the holy decree.

After Zhao Shanxiang returned to the mansion, he saw that Zhao Zheng had left, and he was very settled, and arranged for someone to place the incense case to welcome the holy decree, but he heard Ma Defang shouting angrily: "What! The national teacher is in retreat? ”

"The Divine Decree is still with him! Is the national teacher going to openly confront the two governments? Take me to the mansion of the national teacher, and I will chase the holy decree back in person. With Ma Defang's reprimand, the waiters who came to announce the decree jumped with chickens and dogs.

Ma Defang came to Zhao Zheng's mansion, but was stopped by Gao Linmen.

"Ma Zhongliang, the national teacher is deducing the national fortunes of the Song Kingdom, and the stakes are very important, and it requires 7749 days of retreat, and no one is allowed to disturb it. Otherwise, the opportunity will be missed, and the heavens will be blinded, and the Great Song Dynasty is only afraid that it will be in danger. ”

Gao Linmen stood outside the door and talked nonsense, Ma Defang also knew that the two had the same plan, but they didn't break each other. The successive masters of the Maoshan faction need to be canonized by the imperial court, and Ma Defang is an old man in the palace, so he also knows Gao Linmen.

"Grandmaster Gao, it is true that the national fortune is very important, but the holy decree is also very important, since the national teacher is in retreat, it is inconvenient to meet, but only Grandmaster Gao needs to bring the holy decree over, so as not to delay the major affairs of the national teacher."

Gao Linmen sighed: "The opportunity to spy on the heavenly machine is fleeting, so the national teacher will retreat in a hurry, and this deduction of the national fortune requires a trace of dragon energy, I am afraid that it needs to rely on the dragon energy of this holy decree." I also bothered Ma Zhongliang to ask for a holy decree again. ”

Ma Defang was taken aback when he heard this, and exclaimed: "This matter is very important, and I have to ask the Holy Lords of the two prefectures." After speaking, Ma Defang asked Gao Linmen to prepare a fast horse for him and prepare to return to Lin'an.

Gao Linmen nodded: "This matter should indeed be cautious, please tell the official, Chengdao quickly go and prepare forage for the horse, eat enough to let it go on the road, forget it!" Or this grandmaster will go in person. ”

Gao Linmen came to the stable, took out the croton in his arms, and quietly sprinkled the horse material. Touching the forehead of the black horse, he said, "Black charcoal, I have wronged you for a few days, the slower you run, the better, understand?" ”

So without knowing it, Ma Defang rode the horse that had been fed and left Yangzhou City to prepare all the way south. As soon as he left the city gate, he encountered a pass set up by Li Quan's soldiers.

Li Quan personally greeted Ma Defang here, the holy decree was read to him first, and he was also proud of this matter.

Otherwise, if this Yangzhou city is surrounded again, it is not that Yangzhou is lacking, and it will be defeated first.

"Ma Zhongliang, has the holy decree ever been read?"

Ma Defang was very unaccustomed to Li Quan's villainous appearance, and sloppily said: "It's okay, I have to go back to Lin'an immediately, report the result of this matter to the official family, and ask Li Yuanjun to let him go quickly." ”

Li Quan saw Ma Defang's impatient look, and guessed that it must be that the Yangzhou defenders were dissatisfied, and the blatant mood made this eunuch anxious, and he was anxious to see the dog emperor to deal with the aftermath.

Li Quan thought of this, and his mood was suddenly relaxed, so that Ma Defang left, and relieved the depression of the past ten days, he understood very well the mood of the Yangzhou defenders, and it was him, seeing that the enemy army was about to be defeated, but he was blocked by an order from above, so he took action, he had already slaughtered the eunuch with a knife, and turned against the bird court.

Thinking of the depressed appearance of the Yangzhou defenders, Li Quan couldn't help laughing: "The general takes out the wine, let's get drunk tonight and reward the three armies!" ”

The low sergeant was also emotional: "No! ”

Ma Defang immediately shouted after leaving Li Quanjun's sight: "Stop, Ben Zhongliang is a little dizzy, go to the nearby county to find Ben Zhongliang a Lang Zhong, let's find a place to rest." ”

Ma Defang is very sober-minded, he is ready to grind slowly on the road for ten days and half a month, so that the Yangzhou defenders will destroy Li Quan's house, in this way, the matter of the national teacher's seizure of the holy decree is nothing at all.

――

When Ma Defang found that the holy decree was missing, he decided to go to Zhao Zheng's mansion to retrieve the holy decree, Zhao Shanxiang immediately summoned important officials and soldiers in Yangzhou to make arrangements for the final battle.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain to let down the national teacher's painstaking efforts to give them an extra six or seven days at the expense of withholding the holy decree.

At the same time, he also decided to use the news of the imperial court to paralyze Li Quan.

Li Quan set up a pass outside, and through Ma Defang, he must have known about the loss of the holy decree in Yangzhou City, and he would also be on guard, and what he did now was to make Li Quan believe that Yangzhou City had given up the last desperate fight, and was ready to try to make the court retract its will through court wrestling.

It is necessary to go out of the city to confuse Li Quan's audio-visual, and after everyone discusses the countermeasures.

Zhao Shanxiang decided to travel by car first to paralyze Li Quan.

After Li Quan sent Ma Defang away, he ushered in another heavyweight, Zhao Shanxiang, the Jianghuai envoy.

Li Quan saw that Zhao Shanxiang was dressed in civilian clothes, and only brought three or two servants, and walked over with an indignant face, thinking that this Zhao Shanxiang must not be angry with this holy decree of the imperial court, and it seems that he is going to enter Beijing to make a last stand.

Li Quan was not surprised, and said with a little joking: "Zhao Zhizhi, is this dusty person rushing there?" ”

Zhao Shanxiang looked disdainful and scolded angrily: "Dog thief, quickly make way for this official, and let you be proud for two days." "Li Quan doesn't dare to take Zhao Shanxiang now, if he dares to kill or detain him, then the Zhao'an he has worked so hard to get will be in vain, and Song Guo will definitely fight to the end, thinking that Song Guo still has a heavy cavalry elite in his hand, Li Quan is terrified, so he will not do the stupid thing of detaining Zhao Shanxiang.

"That's not right, Zhao Zhi, we are officials in the same dynasty, how can you say that you can tolerate me for two days? We are born from the same root, and we die and perish together. Li Quan saw Zhao Shanxiang's angry face, and laughed even more in his heart. The more Zhao Shanxiang scolded himself, the more fierce he became, the less he would take risks. Moreover, the biggest official in Yangzhou has left, and the morale inside is estimated to be dispersed.

Zhao Shanxiang sneered: "Now that you have been recruited, it doesn't mean that the imperial court will give you dog food as a guard dog in the future!" The old man is going to Lin'an, and the holy decree in your hand may not be stable! ”

When Li Quan heard these vicious words, he was stunned at first, and then laughed completely after being angry, and said in a calm tone: "When I am a dog, I will eat you Song Guo for a lifetime, but this dog food is better than what Song Guo eats, otherwise I will bite back at any time, and you will have to eat and drink for me, I am a dog, but you Song Kingdom is just a slave for dogs!" ”

While speaking, another official came out of Yangzhou City, how boastful the prefect of Yangzhou, seeing Zhao Shanxiang and Li Quanzhan scolding and fighting, he also came over and echoed: "Bachelor Zhao, what kind of lips and tongue do you have to deal with this rabid dog, let's go to Lin'an together, I don't believe that the princes of these two mansions are listening to the words of Shi Miyuan's family." ”

Zhao Shanxiang snorted at Li Quan, and rode into the dust.

Seeing this, Li Quan laughed loudly and said: "The general has taken out the wine, let's get drunk tonight and reward the three armies!" ”

The sergeant below was also in high spirits: "No! ”

At night, Li Quanjun sang loudly and was drunk.

Some soldiers were laughing around the campfire, and a businessman who had withdrawn from Yangzhou suddenly hooked his shoulders and carried him: "What are you talking about?" ”

Before the soldier could reply, a knife stabbed him in the stomach.

"Kill!"

The camp was suddenly besieged, and those passers-by suddenly drew their weapons to attack Li Quan's army.
