Tong Guan now has one thing in common with Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of Liao, that is, he can't sleep at night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since his second defeat, he's been pondering a big question: how to pass the buck.

Originally, the Western Army was the best object of shirking responsibility, and the generals of the Western Army were disrespectful and disobedient to the command, among them, the master was self-assured of the generals, and he was the first to retreat when he encountered the enemy.

Although Zhao Ji didn't say it explicitly, Tong Guan is used to figuring out that an emperor's qualified slave must learn to figure out what he wants, if he can't do this, he will not be far from being eliminated, just like Zhu Mian.

But the seed master is dead, a dead person, can take responsibility, but he can't bear all the responsibility.

So...... There is only one other living person who can help share a little, although Tong Guan is actually extremely unwilling, he is even willing to deal with a behemoth like the Shangxi Army General, and he is not willing to deal with the young man who is only in his twenties.

"But what to do, now I only have this one way, I can delay some time, and if I can't get enough time, I won't have enough credit to get rid of it. Which one is there...... What he values most is profit, but he doesn't care about fame, and I will give him enough benefits when the time comes! ”

On the one hand, he muttered secretly in his heart, and on the other hand, Tong Guan gently patted someone's shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "The stakes are very high, not only my net worth and life, but also your ambitions and ambitions for so many years, you ......"

"Marshal rest assured, I will definitely contact the Jin people, the Jin people are outside Jinzhou, not far from here, I am familiar with all kinds of trails, as fast as three or five days, slow as ten days, I can deliver the news. When I arrive, I'm sure I'll convince them! The person in front of him, tall and strong, with a resolute face, was the Ma Zhi that Zhou Quan had ever seen.

"Yes, yes, that's it, with a loyal minister like you, why worry about not succeeding!" Tong Guan was overjoyed, but then hesitated: "It's just ...... Well, on the side of the golden man, on the gold and silver cloth, you can loosen your mouth a little, less than two million times, you can be the master at will! But the territory must come and fight for ...... I can take the Great Wall as the boundary! ”

Ma Zhi understood his hint, the so-called struggle for the Great Wall as the boundary, that is to say, if it fails, the Great Wall can be abandoned, but if the Great Wall is abandoned, what is the point of recovering Yanyun, it is nothing more than stuffing a "hostage" under the enemy's troops. He stopped talking, but nodded.

He has already taken the line of Tong Guan and can't turn back.

Looking at Ma Zhi resolutely moving away, Tong Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, this was probably the first time he had smiled recently.

At this time, among the Jingshi, the people he sent back had already begun to pass on the news of the defeat.

Well, there is one more thing next, and I don't know if my grandchildren will be able to do what they have arranged in their letters.

Tong was gradually sent by him to the Daimyo's Mansion to serve by the side of Zhao Kai, the king of Yun.

During this time, Zhao Kai can be described as extremely beautiful, and around him, there are many nobles and children of high-ranking officials. This is all sent to him to gild, what a great credit this is for Liao Fuyan, as long as everyone can rub a star and a half, the rest of this life will be glorious.

Originally, these noble officials were the most opportunistic, and in the battle for the prince, they rode on the wall and watched, treating Zhao Huan or Zhao Kai equally, and they were not offended. But after the curtain of the war on Liao was unfolded, things changed, and this change reached its first peak when Zhao Kai was appointed generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and became the second peak after he arrived at the Daimyo's mansion.

This feeling of being surrounded by stars made Zhao Kai very happy, and it also made him more and more eager for the storage position.

It's just that the generalissimo of soldiers and horses is already so beautiful, if it reaches the position of the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, what kind of scenery will it be?

"Wang Hao, is there any news ahead, didn't Tong Guan start to attack Yanjing more than ten days ago?"

However, at this time, there is a small regret, that is, for more than ten consecutive days, Zhao Kai has not received any news from the front.

Wang Hao laughed dryly: "Military secrets, if there is no decisive victory, Tong Guan will not pass the news here." ”

In the past few days, he has used this method to prevaricate. Although Zhao Kai is smart, he can grow up in the deep palace and don't know much about practice, so he can also fool around. But Wang Hao knew that something must have gone wrong ahead, otherwise the situation would not be like this.

It is ridiculous to say that Zhao Kai, who is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses and the head of the Liao War, is not too far from the front line, but after more than ten days, he did not even receive the news of Tong Guan's first defeat.

Of course, this is the result of Tong Guan's deliberate blockade of news from the rear, and Tong Guan may not be good at defeating the enemy, but he has always been very good at deceiving "his own people".

But to this day, Zhao Kai also realized that something was wrong, not only did Tong Guan not send anyone to report on the battle situation on the front line, but even the messengers he sent out to "condole" the front-line soldiers did not come back.

"Wang Hao, tell you the truth, is there any accident ahead?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Ahead...... Maybe it will be a little unexpected, but my 300,000 army of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State is extremely weak, even if it is a little accidental, it can't change the fate of the defeat of the Liao State, the king just rest assured. Wang Hao couldn't hide it, and glanced at the north a little anxiously, and the people he sent out to inquire about the news have not returned until now.

He paused for a moment, looked at the people around Zhao Kai who were taking over the conversation, and then was slightly stunned: "King, if you want to know the news ahead, you can call Tong Gradually, Tong Gradually...... Maybe it's connected to Tong Guan! ”

Tong is gone!

Zhao Kai was stationed in the Daimyo's Mansion, and in the first few days, he still made the appearance of sharing weal and woe with the sergeants, and stayed in the barracks, but after a few days, he couldn't stand the suffering, the couch in the barracks was too hard, the camp tent was not enough to block the wind, there were too many rules in the army, and there were no beauties to have a banquet in the army...... Therefore, now Zhao Kai lives in a mansion in the Daimyo's mansion. These days, Tong gradually comes here early every day to flatter Zhao Kai with other people who come to gild, but today, Tong gradually is not there!

It is also that there are too many people who flatter, and no one will pay attention to one less. Thinking of this, Wang Hao was a little annoyed, if it was Cai Jing, he was afraid that he would notice this detail as soon as possible.

Zhao Kai heard Wang Hao's words, and also turned his neck to look around him.

He was smarter than Wang Hao imagined, but at the same time, he lacked a city government more than Wang Hao imagined. Finding that Tong was gradually gone, Zhao Kai jumped up, shocked and angry: "There is a change in the front, there is a change in the front!" ”

Then, he immediately ordered to send someone to Tong's residence.

There was no one at the residence.

At this time, Tong gradually had already left the Daimyo's Mansion and was galloping on horseback, he had to rush to Yingtianfu in the shortest possible time, and then ask Zhou Quan's location in an even shorter time.

As the grandson of Tong Guan, even if he may not really have the blood of the Tong family, Tong gradually is still pampered, and this kind of situation of galloping on a horse is really not suitable for him.

But he had to do this, his grandfather Tong Guan was very strict in his letter, asking him to find Zhou Quan in the shortest possible time, and then ......

"Kneel at his door, bear the guilt, do not forgive, do not return to me!"

Tong Guan knew very well that he sent people back to Beijing and blamed Zhou Quan's cannon for the loss of the front, which meant that he offended Zhou Quan fiercely. But he was not afraid, he felt that according to Zhou Quan's previous behavior and habits, as long as he paid enough benefits, he should be able to get Zhou Quan to agree to this matter.

It's nothing more than a loss of reputation, as long as Zhou Quan pushes it to the people below and admits a painless negligence, the matter will be solved perfectly, as for the real reason for the fiasco of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line, no one will really pay attention to it, even their relatives may soon forget about it after receiving compensation.

Tong gradually was sent by him to negotiate with Zhou Quan, and at the same time to show Zhou Quan his sincerity.

Tong Guan is convinced that Zhou Quan is a smart person and knows what he means.

In the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Kai had already received the news of Tong Gradual's departure, and the people below did things very properly, not only knowing that Tong Gradually left, but also knowing that Tong Gradually received a secret letter, his expression changed greatly, and he suddenly went out of the city two hours ago, bringing not many entourage, but bringing a lot of horses, obviously preparing to ride all the way to a certain place.

Zhao Kai had no intention of appreciating the meticulousness of the people below at this time, and his heart was full of horror.

That secret letter must have been sent by Tong Guan, what kind of news could make Tong gradually leave the Daimyo's Mansion before he had time to report to him?

There is a problem at the front, and it is a big problem, it is very likely to be a fiasco, or even ...... The Liao army counterattacked into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, not far from the Daimyo's Mansion, so Tong gradually fled in fright!

People who are good at painting always have rich associative ability, and Zhao Kai not only guessed the truth, but also guessed a little more than the truth. It was these extra things that made Zhao Kai afraid.

Not only did he be afraid, but the speculators who rushed to flatter him were also not stupid, so as soon as possible, the messengers and spies who rushed to the capital and the north blocked the gates of the Daimyo's Mansion.

And there was no need to command, and the people began to pack their bags just in case.

Zhao Kai was still waiting anxiously, after all, he was the generalissimo, and it didn't matter if he left the barracks and lived in the city, but if he left the station, he needed a reason.

Half an hour later, there were a quarter fewer flatterers around him.

An hour later, it was half less.

Two hours later, by Zhao Kai's side, there was only one soulless Wang Huang left.

"Exactly...... What's wrong? Zhao Kai muttered to himself, just a day ago, he was still confidently outlining what he would do when he became the crown prince and what he would do after becoming the emperor, but now, he only felt empty in his heart.

The sound of horses' hooves woke him from his stupor, and then they saw not just one, but dozens of spies galloping in.

With the return of these spies, there was also the news of the fiasco at the front, and the 300,000 army of Tong Guan was wiped out.

"Back to the barracks, back to the barracks!" After learning the news, Zhao Kai shouted hoarsely, but the whole person was limp on the ground, and he had no strength at all. (To be continued.) )
