Chapter 133: The Emperor Also Has Innocence
The war between the two countries continues, but the Chinese military camps of each country are in chaos. When Zhao Xiaoxi ordered the ghost cavalry army to attack the Chinese army camp of the Liao army. Zhao Da led the ghost cavalry army and went straight to Yelutu like an unstoppable force.
The cavalry of the Liao army, which was already retiring in their hearts, had already formed a rout after Qiao Feng's 10,000 elites from western Liaoxi joined. Even the cavalry began to flee, and those infantry, whose combat effectiveness was not high, naturally did not want to fight again.
With the elite cavalry of the Liao army, he escorted Yelutu to the city of Nanjing to temporarily avoid the edge. The Song army attacked on all fronts and pursued after the Liao army. It wasn't until Yelutu was lucky enough to escape back to the city of Nanjing that this road of death came to an end.
Looking at the Song army that began to assemble outside the city, the soldiers and civilians in the city who originally expected the Liao army to return victoriously all had a feeling that the end was coming. Even the crown prince Yelutu, after learning that Yeluliangcai also died in the rebellion, had the urge to abandon the city and flee.
It stands to reason that this was a victory worthy of much celebration by the Song army. Zhang Tingguang, who came with the will, and Zhang Xuan, who also came in a hurry, looked at Zhao Xu, who was pale, and they all felt like the sky was about to collapse.
Qiao Feng, who also came back from the battle, looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, who was transporting internal force for Zhao Xu, and said with some embarrassment: "Fourth brother, eldest brother can't help it, let that Murong dog thief escape." That Wanyan Gongzi seems to have fled before the war. ”
Hearing Qiao Feng's words, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't say anything, but Zhao Xu said with a smile: "You are Qiao Feng, the former leader of the beggar gang?" is really a heroic hero, Brother Yun is lucky to have you as a brother-in-law! ”
Upon hearing Zhao Xu's question, although Qiao Feng was very disgusted with dealing with this kind of emperor, he also gave up his hand and said: "Emperor Domeng praised, Fengyuan is a descendant of Khitan, and the fourth brother of Domeng will not give up." Willing to marry me with Jinlan. Speaking of which, it's me who climbs high! ”
Regarding Qiao Feng's answer, Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Heroes don't ask about their origins, and the Khitans are not all brutal. Although I don't know much about you, I know that you are a good man who is brave and loyal.
Today's battle. Thanks to your timely shot. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I won't be able to wake up now. You are a meritorious man, and I should praise you. You don't have to be too humble! ”
Faced with Zhao Xu's words, Qiao Feng couldn't answer well. Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who was sweating like rain, Qiao Feng said with a little worry: "Fourth brother, why don't you take a rest, and let Brother Wei heal the emperor's injuries." ”
Looking at Qiao Feng's concern, Zhao Xiaoxi said helplessly: "Trouble big brother!" It's just this injury. Alas! ”
Hearing the voice from behind, Zhao Xu said very calmly: "Brother Yun, do you still refuse to see me today?" ”
As if knowing that there was a gap between the two cousins, Qiao Feng simply didn't speak. took over Zhao Xiaoxi's work and began to input internal force to Zhao Xu. After the internal force was infused, Qiao Feng also felt that the situation in Zhao Xu's body was no longer saved.
If it is changed to the next generation, Zhao Xu will have a massive hemorrhage in his internal organs. Maybe it can be saved in time. But in the medical skills of this era, this kind of injury is a fatal injury. Even if Zhao Xiaoxi uses internal force. Suppressing the speed of bleeding does not help.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who walked up to Zhao Xu, looked a little angry and said, "Little Liu, why do you want to be like this?" Why don't you listen to Lord Zhang's advice and return to the capital as soon as possible? Where are you putting the safety of the country at risk? ”
Zhao Xu's cronies standing aside. Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi reprimanding the emperor so boldly, he naturally looked a little angry. But Zhao Xu said very honestly: "Brother Yun, Xiaoliu is wrong. However, Xiaoliu knows that you will not ignore me. ”
Such a statement. Said Zhao Hyo-seok's eyes were sour. Other people also felt incredible, and felt that Zhao Xu's feelings for Zhao Xiaoxi were far beyond their imagination. Brotherly discord, I'm afraid it's more of a superficial thing.
At this moment, Zhang Tingguang, who returned with the cavalry and the generals of the border army, saw the emperor's appearance. I also feel like the sky is falling, and all I can do is to kneel down and ask for guilt as soon as possible.
Although he wanted to reprimand these cavalry commanders, why did he relax his protection of Zhao Xu when the war began. But Zhao Xiaoxi also knows that in today's battle, without the courage of the cavalry, he is afraid that he will not be able to win at all.
Looking at these blood-stained generals, Zhao Xu said with concern: "General Zhang, our army won this battle?" ”
Zhang Tingguang heard the inquiry and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the prince's ghost cavalry rushed into the Chinese army camp of the Liao army. Yelutu, the crown prince of Liao, had already led the remnants of the army to defeat and retreated to Nanjing. The last will be called, and then he will rush back to ask for sin. ”
Hearing that the battle had been won, Zhao Xu looked very happy and said, "Okay, once this battle is won, the recovery of Yanyun will be just around the corner." I thought about it a lot, I went to the imperial city of Liao to see it in person, and fulfilled the dream of the former emperor and me to recover Yanyun! ”
At this moment, Zhao Xiaoxi suddenly got up and said, "Here, the army will immediately drive to the city of Nanjing." At sunset, the king saw the dragon flag planted on the head of Nanjing. ”
understands that Zhao Xu's time is short, and tonight is his limit. Zhao Xiaoxi didn't want him to leave with regrets, so he crossed Zhao Xu and gave an order directly. Here, too, no one dares to refute his words.
Zhao Xu, who also understood the purpose of Zhao Xiaoxi's move, seemed very moved and said: "Brother Yun, you said Xiaoliu, can you see the moment you enter the city?" At that time, his father said that he wanted to sit on the dragon chair of Liao Kingdom and see what it was like.
Now that Xiao Liu's soldiers are in the city, only this last step is missing, and Xiao Liu also wants to feel that taste. But with your father's last wish, you have great ability, and you will definitely be able to fulfill Xiaoliu's wish, right? ”
Such a remark, coming out of the mouth of an emperor, is somewhat shocking. But Zhao Xiaoxi knew that Zhao Xu, who was in front of him at this moment, was no longer the emperor who was on top, but the follower Zhao Xiaoliu in the imperial city back then.
nodded heavily and said, "Yes, my brother will not only let you sit on the dragon chair of Da Liao, but will also cut off the head of Emperor Liao for you in the future." Brother will let everyone know that you are a good emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was you who recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”
Zhao Xiaoxi, who said this, couldn't control the tears that burst out of his eyes. And the generals who arrived here saw all this in front of them, and they also knew that the feelings for this pair of kings were far deeper than they imagined.
With Zhao Xiaoxi's order issued, the already tired Song army soldiers knew that this was the emperor's last wish. In order to satisfy the emperor's last wish, they all felt that even if they tried their best, they would take Nanjing City.
The surviving artillerymen at this time, also relying on the help of the army, transported the heavy artillery to the city of Nanjing at an unimaginable speed. Seeing the appearance of these artillery, the Daliao defenders at the head of the city were already panicking.
They also didn't expect that the Song army's siege would come so quickly. According to what they learned, it seemed that something had happened to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. At this time, shouldn't they be busy saving the emperor? Why did you speed up the siege?
Without giving them much time to think, Zhao Xiaoxi, who arrived at the city, ordered the artillery to attack the city as soon as possible. Even after the artillery siege began, the infantry began a siege charge.
With the roar of artillery, several Demomen blew the gates open with explosives packs at the cost of their lives. Open the passage for the army behind, and the imposing Song army drove straight in.
At this moment, Zhao Xu, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, saw that the army under his command had attacked Nanjing Mansion, and he was also very happy and said: "Okay, Brother Yun's background is really extraordinary, and I have really captured this imperial city of Daliao." ”
Looking at Zhang Xuan, who was already in tears, and the rest of his confidants, Zhao Xu said a little unhappily: "What's the matter with you? If you have won the battle, you should be happy. I'm not dead yet, so there's no need to cry in a hurry.
Brother Yun, can you take my cavalry into the city? I don't want to sit on this dragon chariot, I still want to ride with you. I remember when I was a child, the first time I learned to ride a horse, you taught me! Then I fell off my horse, and you were beaten by your uncle. ”
In front of the minister, he showed the majesty of the emperor, but in front of Zhao Xiaoxi, he showed the dependence of his younger brother. This change of personality made these ministers even more clear. What is happening right in front of you will mean something.
Ignoring the wild thoughts of these ministers, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly said: "Okay, brother will take you into the city today!" ”
asked someone to bring a war horse, Zhao Xiaoxi was a little disrespectful, and directly picked up Zhao Xu and put it on the horse. Even looked at Zhao Xu, who looked a little embarrassed, and teased: "Little Liu, you are a lot heavier than before!" ”
seems to understand Zhao Xu and wants to leave without regrets, and Zhao Xiaoxi also knows it. At this moment, Zhao Xu's situation is not very optimistic. I'm afraid it's all a blessing to survive tonight. At this moment, he is relying more on internal strength to continue his life.
Cho Hyo-seok, who turned over and got on his horse, didn't pay attention to the ongoing battle in the city. Carrying the silver spear given to him by Zhao Xu, he said: "Let's go, today our brothers will go to the imperial city of Liao Kingdom together." See who dares to stop it! ”
Regarding Zhao Xiaoxi's words, Zhao Xu looked very happy and said: "Okay! Brothers work together, and their strength breaks gold. Come on! ”
This seemingly childish move made Zhao Hyo-seok understand. Zhao Xu, who ascended the throne and became emperor at the age of ten, actually lost much of the innocence and fun that should have belonged to him.
If you really want to count it, Zhao Xu's age today is less than twenty years old. At the last moment of his life, the life he hoped to enjoy was still the carefree childlike things that he had in the imperial city.
Along with Zhao Xiaoxi, there were also soldiers of the ghost cavalry army. Of course, it also includes generals like Zhang Tingguang. They acted as temporary guards, protecting Zhao Xiaoxi and Zhao Xu, and fought together into the imperial city of Liao.
Yelutu, who was still packing his things and preparing to abandon the city, heard an explosion outside the city. Immediately abandon everything and order the cavalry to protect him to break through from the other side of the imperial city. As for the city of Nanjing, expectations have been disappointed.
Knowing that the princes of the prison country had fled, the Liao army in the imperial city naturally had no intention of resisting. Not long after, Zhao Xiaoxi, who took Zhao Xu, led his troops to the outside of the palace in Daliao.
And at this moment, the palace is also in chaos, no one dares to stop Zhao Xiaoxi's soldiers, this Great Liao Palace has become a no-man's land, and the two brothers can enter and exit freely! (To be continued......)
