After Jin Mao returned to the army, he was really suspicious of the emperor, if it weren't for the lack of evidence, someone pleaded for mercy. It is difficult to save his life, but even so, he was escorted back to Hangzhou City, and before the matter is clear, it will definitely not be reused.

Niu Qing, who got the news, was greatly relieved. However, after this battle, it also angered the emperor, and the speed of the army was much faster. At the same time, because of the movement on Dali's side. The emperor sent Yang Fan to the direction of Dali to prevent Dali from sending troops to rescue Song Shicheng.

After Niu Qing and Zhang Heng converged, they only took a face-to-face, and then hurriedly returned to the Song Division, but Zhang Heng encountered the emperor's army in front of Tucheng half a day later.

The emperor divided his troops to Yang Fan with 50,000 horses, and now he has 80,000 with him, and 30,000 are led by Liang Kun. Therefore, the emperor did not personally take action against Zhang Heng, but handed it over to Liang Kun.

The enmity between Liang Kun and Zhang Chusan is not deep, and for Zhang Heng, he also hates Wu and Wu, full of hatred.

Zhang Heng naturally would not fail to understand this. Not only was he not afraid of Liang Kun's hatred, but he was also afraid that his hatred would not be deep and unhappy. Therefore, after Liang Kun led an army of 30,000 to arrive, he led people back into the city, and at the same time sent people to publicize that Liang Kun was stabbed by Zhang Chusan in the city.

For a while, Liang Kun gritted his teeth in his mouth and exploded his heart, liver and lungs. After pointing to the city and scolding a few times, he hurriedly attacked the city. The drums sounded, and the besieging procession rushed forward.

Shouts of killing were heard. Zhang Heng stood at the head of the city, looked at the situation below, and saw that Liang Kun actually sent out an army of 30,000 together, and his heart was overjoyed. However, he did not intend to let them into the city just once.

Therefore, above the city, Zhang Heng was struggling to defend, and the two sides were injured by each other in the fight, but the damage of the defending side was much smaller than that of the besieging side. Fortunately, the city wall of Tucheng is not high, although later because of the gradual prosperity here, Wen Chengfang ordered people to rebuild the city wall, but it is also mainly gorgeous, and no defensive offensive has been established.

Therefore, under the heavy attack of Liang Kun, Zhang Heng resisted for an hour, and the faction gradually retreated. Liang Kun was overjoyed, and urged his men to work hard and fight hard.

Just as the gates of the city were wide open, he even personally led the people into the city.

But as soon as he entered the city, Zhang Heng fled towards the city gate behind him with a hurry. Liang Kun and Zhang Heng are enemies, and when they see that Zhang Heng wants to escape, they can still think so much there, so they will chase after them.

In the streets and alleys, there was another scuffle, and finally Zhang Heng's people successfully withdrew from Tucheng.

Just after Zhang Heng left and the gate of Tucheng was blocked, Liang Kun felt that something was wrong. However, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Suddenly, a general beside him said suspiciously: "Everyone sent the earth city in front of the Song Master City to be extremely prosperous. Now it seems that this is just the case, why can't even the people in the whole city see it. Didn't they all run away when they heard that there was going to be a war! ”

As soon as his words fell, Liang Kun's face suddenly turned pale. He now finally understood what the problem was. Since there are no people in this Tucheng, I think of Zhang Heng's previous reaction. He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This earth city has obviously become an urn city, how could he not see it.

Immediately, he shouted loudly and said, "Quickly retreat, withdraw from the city." ”

However, since Zhang Heng lured him in. How can he be allowed to withdraw safely. Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a loud "boom", and a fire suddenly broke out around the city walls.

At the same time, the fire spread rapidly and lightning in all directions. The earth city was filled with oil and gunpowder, and the flames rose very quickly, and suddenly 30,000 people were in the midst of the fire.

Crying, shouting, came from the earthen city. The current earth city is more suitable to be called the fire city, but I saw that the surrounding area has become a sea of fire, and there is no place to hide around.

Zhang Heng looked at it in his eyes, sighed slightly, and the miserable howl of 30,000 people fell in his ears, which was really not a taste.

The emperor over there still had an army of 80,000 eyeing him, and his task had been completed here, so he didn't stay any longer, and after giving an order, the team retreated towards Song Shicheng.

The emperor was still waiting for Liang Kun's good news, but he saw the fire all over the city, and after hearing the battle report, he was shocked and hurriedly ordered people to come to the rescue. However, there are still people saved there. The main earthen city has become like a large furnace, and the closer it is, it will be unbearable to be scorched.

Even the bricks on the top of the city were faintly glowing with fiery red. Since Yue Shao'an was attacking, he naturally wouldn't leave them a chance to extinguish the fire, and the surrounding wells had already been filled in, and the people who came to the rescue could only sigh and sigh, and there was nothing they could do.

The howls of 30,000 people continued for more than half a day. The emperor's face was pale, this time he went out, but he didn't expect it to be so unfavorable, first he lost the vanguard, and now before he arrived in front of the Song Division, another 30,000 people died.

How can this battle be fought? He's even starting to retire. However, the labor division moved the crowd, and the army of more than 100,000 came in a mighty way, if it was to go back in disgrace. Not to mention where he, the emperor's face, was placed, he didn't dare to take the danger of Yue Shao'an taking advantage of the possibility that he would retreat and then send troops to attack the city.

So, although I can only continue with the bite of the head. However, with this defeat, the momentum of the army was frustrated, but the emperor was no longer in a hurry to march, and the army stopped in front of the earthen city and rested.

In the Song Division, Yue Shaoan held a celebration banquet for Niu Qing and Zhang Heng and drank heavily. The people of the city also had to ask for news, and they were also very happy. People who were a little worried in the past are now relieved one by one.

Even the civil servants, who had always been unoptimistic about the war, were much better.

At the celebration banquet, everyone came to congratulate Niu Qing and Zhang Heng. Gao Chong, who had just been newly married, even said loudly that Niu Qing and Zhang Heng were not interesting enough, and he would not be brought with him if he had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

While a few people were talking, Zhuo Yan, who had not come because of something, also came in at this time. Seeing this, Gao Chong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, where did you go?" ”

Zhuo Yan glanced at him, but instead of answering his question, he asked, "What about Mr. Yue?" ”

"In the back hall. What are you looking for Mr. Yue? Gao Chong said suspiciously.

Zhuo Yan took a deep breath, his face was very ugly, he shook his head slightly, did not speak, and went straight to the back.

The high center is incomprehensible. He glanced at Zhuo Yan strangely, lowered his head and thought about it, and finally shook his head and ignored it. He took up his glass, and drank with the people.

When Zhuo Yan came to the back hall, Yue Shaoan was sitting there alone, frowning, as if he had something on his mind. Seeing Zhuo Yan come in, he beckoned and said, "Is something wrong?" Today, somehow, I always feel uneasy, as if something big is about to happen. Is there any action on the Emperor's side? ”

Zhuo Yan shook his head slightly.

Yue Shao'an looked at him like this, said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

Zhuo Yan pursed his lips, closed his eyes, opened them again after a while, and said slowly: "Just now, the Supervision Department inquired about General Liu's whereabouts. ”

"Oh?" Yue Shaoan stood up suddenly: "Where is he?" Immediately, he sat down again, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, just know his whereabouts, don't disturb him, since he wants to live a peaceful life." Let it be as he wishes! ”

Zhuo Yan's eyes were slightly moist, and he took a hard breath before he said, "General Liu is no longer there!" ”

"Hmmm! Yes? Yue Shao'an's eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed, "What did you say?" ”

"A few months ago, not long after he left us, General Liu had already been poisoned and died." Zhuo Yan said, unable to hold back any longer, tears dripping down his eyes. When Yue Shao'an went to the Jin Kingdom on his back, he handed him and Gao Chong over to Liu Bonan. During that time, Liu Bonan took good care of the two of them. It can be said that Zhuo Yan has today, and Liu Bonan's cultivation is inseparable. Therefore, he has always been grateful to Liu Bonan, and when he heard the news of his death, he couldn't accept it.

Yue Shao'an's body trembled a little, and he hurriedly picked up the teacup from the side and wanted to take a sip of water to stabilize his mood, but his trembling hands couldn't lift the teacup. I grabbed it several times, but I couldn't lift the teacup.

Suddenly, he slammed his fist on the teacup, and the fragments of the teacup suddenly flew up, and several cuts were made on his hand. Blood flowed down the wound, and under the stimulation of pain, Yue Shao'an looked ahead with empty eyes. A mouthful of silver teeth made a "gurgling ......" sound.

He took a few deep breaths, and then suppressed his emotions, but suddenly, his intuitive heart was so distressed that it seemed to be torn apart. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't. wanted to say something, but his heart hurt so much that he couldn't open his mouth......

As time passed, Zhuo Yan stood aside and didn't speak.

After a long time, Yue Shao'an slowly turned his head, let out a deep voice from the roar, and asked, "Where is the poison?" ”

"Actually, when we rescued him, he was already poisoned, and he insisted on leaving because he didn't want you to worry......" Zhuo Yan said, his voice a little choked.

"Where are they now?" Yue Shao'an's voice gradually calmed down.

"In the deciduous forest less than 100 miles away from Song Shicheng."

"I see!" Yue Shaoan said softly, stretched out his hand, waved it slightly, and said, "You go down first, I want to think about it!" ”

"Mr. Yue, mourning-" Zhuo Yan left a sentence and slowly retreated.
