The king walked into the main hall, which was old and dilapidated, covered with gray cobwebs, and the hall was cold and airy. There were three coffins parked in the middle of the empty hall www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, and the hearts of the king and everyone were also a little cold. These three coffins were too familiar to the king, everyone walked to the coffin, Zhe Kejun stepped forward and gently removed the coffin lid to look at it, and then nodded towards the king. Wang Bi immediately understood that there was no one else in these three coffins, it was Li Liangzuo, Manchang, and Wu Su.

Fortunately, it was a cold and snowy winter, and the corpses had not deteriorated, but after so many days, they were still lying here, which had to make Wang Bei suspicious.

The king looked around, there were obvious traces of people resting in the main hall, and there were still some burned fires in one corner of the main hall, so it was obvious that someone was there during this time. The king turned back to the guards who came with him and said, "Go back and get some charcoal and coal, and bring more food, cotton clothes, and other things!" ”

"Lord Wang? You're going to spend the night here? Zhi Kejun looked at the hall where the wind was blowing and asked suspiciously.

"Obviously, the Western Xia soldiers we let go were blocked in Zhenrong, and they will definitely hide when they see the Song army, and I will wait for them here. Since these three coffins are here, I believe they have not gone far. ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the back of the Buddha statue in the hall, and a gust of wind blew, and the curtain behind the broken Buddha statue swayed a few times: "Lord be careful!" Zhi Kejun felt that something strange was busy.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright sword pierced out of the tent and approached the king with a cold light. The king had already noticed that there were people behind the tent, and he was ready to go this way. Feeling a cold light stabbing the king, he dodged the edge of the sword and turned sideways, holding the Songwen sword at his waist with his right hand but grabbing the assassin's wrist with his left hand. "General Man, it's me!"

Found the corpses of the Western Xia soldiers all the way, but there was no Changchang, Wang Bi concluded that as long as these three coffins were there, even if all the Xixia soldiers ran away, Changchang would not run, and he must be nearby. The only one who can wear a sword and can make a sword so quickly is Manchang, Wang next grabbed Manchang's wrist, drank Manchang, and then looked at Manchang with straight eyes next to Wang, after a few days, his eyes were sunken, his cheeks collapsed, and the whole person seemed to have shed a layer of skin.

"Next to the king, you are cheating!" Usually squeezed these words out between his teeth, and suddenly the person collapsed.

Several guards hurriedly set up Manchang out, and the king looked at Manchang's appearance, presumably he had run out of ammunition and food in the past few days, and these people had probably been hungry for many days in this wilderness.

Wang stood in the hall and rushed to the three coffins for a while, and Zhi Kejun and Tong Guan stood behind him, and no one dared to say more. They all knew that the king's release of these people was purely kind, but he didn't expect to end up with a reputation for deceit, and everyone was angry about it.

For a long time, the king turned around and ordered the soldiers to go outside the temple, and greeted the fleeing Xixia soldiers in unison, and the Song soldiers outside the Kung Fu Hall shouted in unison: "Listen to the Xixia soldiers, the king of Zhennan has arrived here, and the king of Zhennan called you back for dinner!" ”

The guards who had returned to the camp to prepare supplies returned, and a fire was lit in the sheltered place in the main hall of the ruined temple, and a pot stove was set up, and the cooks boiled porridge in the pot. The fragrance of porridge permeated the hall, and there was a gurgling sound in his throat, he slowly opened his eyes, and Tong Guan took a bowl of porridge and squatted down in front of him: "My father said, you can't eat too much now, let's drink some porridge first after being hungry for many days."

Tilting his head casually, trying to restrain the feeling of hunger, he no longer looked at Tong Guan. Wang patted Tong Guan and took the porridge bowl in Tong Guan's hand, and some guards helped him to sit up, and at the same time, some guards didn't know where to move a Shi Dun'er to let Wang sit there.

"General Man, you and I are enemies when we fight between our two armies, but I have some friendship with Ling Zun and Li Liangzuo, and I admire your Man's father and son's loyalty to Emperor Xixia. The reason why I let you go is because I want them to be able to return their bones to their hometown and bury them well. If I want your life, why should I deceive you? ”

The king's words worked, and he opened his eyes and looked at the king, pondering the king's words.

"I have selfish intentions, taking you on the road will cost you food and grass materials, and once the town is over, we will turn against each other. So let you go first, you eat something first, and then tell me slowly what's going on up ahead! ”

Chang looked down at the porridge bowl, and then looked at the king. Wang said again: "Don't you want to bring back the bodies of Ling Zun and the Emperor of Western Xia?" and the brothers who are now with you, and if you don't eat them, you will starve outside the temple. ”

He looked out of the palace gate, and there were two or three Western Xia soldiers who probed their brains, and these people did not go far, and saw that the guards next to the king were not malicious, so they came back tentatively. The guards did not stop them, and at this moment they were listening to the king's words, and looked at the usual.

Seeing that Manchang opened his mouth slightly, Wang Bian scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it to Manchang's mouth, and tears slowly slipped into Manchang's godless eyes. The defeat of the war and the loss of relatives and the experience of many days made the Western Xia general completely desperate for the war, and he did not know the good luck and evil when he returned to the Western Xia, and the fearless enemy in the war in front of him showed a kind of mercy to the enemy who had no power to fight back at this moment. How strong is this self-confidence and open-mindedness?

The warm rice porridge poured into his chest with a warm current, and he took the porridge bowl in the king's hand and drank it with gusto. One, two, five, a dozen, and then more Western Xia soldiers poured into the hall, they didn't even have the strength to stand firmly, they trembled and took the porridge that the guards had served them, and hid in the corner to eat like a rare treasure.

More and more Xixia soldiers entered the main hall, and the king ordered to set up simple tents outside the palace, distributed some cotton clothes to them, and instructed the cooking soldiers to give a maximum of two bowls of porridge a day today. This is the most basic common sense, if people are hungry for many days, they will have an uneasy appetite if they eat too much at once.

"King Zhennan, good man!" The Xixia soldiers muttered while eating.

The Western Xia soldiers in the main hall were arranged to the tents outside the hall, and Zhi Kejun took people to count the number of people, and the remaining Western Xia soldiers were only six or seven hundred. Asked about the support of the Song army they walked with, the Western Xia soldiers all shook their heads blankly. A famous Western Xia soldier said to Zhi Kejun: "When they arrived at Zhenrong City, they encountered a rain of arrows, and the Song army was at the forefront, and I am afraid that there will be no return." ”

"Fuck it!" Zhi Kejun scolded after hearing this, turned around and walked back to the main hall.

By this time he had recovered his spirits, and his cheeks were slightly flushed, and he was sitting in the middle of the hall talking to the king. What Zhi Kejun knew, he had already told the king.

"Didn't the person I sent send send a letter to Zhenrong Zhijun?" Wang asked with a frown.

"When we arrived, there was a Zhenrong army to intercept it, someone sent a letter to the past but didn't come back, how could we rush past the Zhenrong defense line? Many people were injured and had to run back. Some people want to go back to you, but they don't come back. Those of us with three coffins saw that we could avoid this for the time being, so we hid here. Fortunately, this snow, there are no people in this place, otherwise there is no Song army, I am afraid that the lives of these people will not be saved. ”

"Bastard, dare to disobey the king's orders?" Wang Bian said angrily, and when he saw Zhi Kejun walking in, Wang Bian asked, "General Zhe, which grandson is stationed in Zhenrong?" ”

Zhi Kejun said: "Zhenrong's Zhijun is called Cao Tian, and he is the descendant of the general Cao Wei. Cao Wei's word Baochen, the official to the imperial doctor. Li Jiqian, who once led the army to ambush the Western Xia in Ximen River, won a lot, and became famous in the Western Regions, and then led the Song army to defeat the Tubo army in the Sandu Valley. The Cao family has also guarded the border for generations, and it is said that they should not do anything that violates military orders, but the Cao family has arrived in Cao Tian's generation, and they rely on their meritorious service in the past dynasties, and they seem to have some connections with the Empress Dowager Cao, so the Zhenrong area has always been paid official salaries but did not obey orders. is also because Zhenrong is a frontier land, the southwest is Tubo, and the northwest is Western Xia, and the court also turns a blind eye to him, and the more time passes, the more he dares not move this nail. Even Qin Fenglu, like Wang Shao, has to give him a few points. ”

"Isn't this a tiger for trouble?" Tong Guan interjected.

Wang Bi sneered, shook his head and thought secretly, no wonder the troops of the Song Dynasty were moving back and forth, in fact, they were worried about such generals. There are pros and cons to everything, and when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, this Cao Tian relies on the merits of his ancestors and relies on the relatives of the royal family, and it may not be biased to say that he has no merit, after all, he guards important places. But if he is loyal to the court, it may not be, the Tiangao Emperor has the final say on the side of the guard, and when it is peaceful, he is the overlord of one side, in case there is something to back up the court, this kind of beauty difference is Cao Tian, and anyone is willing to do it.

At this time, Wang Bi already had some answers in his heart: "He is asking for merit from the court!" ”

"Then he doesn't take Daddy's orders too seriously, Dad, let's leave tomorrow and go to Zhenrong to ask that Cao Tian, why don't you listen to you!" Tong Guan said indignantly.

Wang Bian ignored Tong Guan, he looked at Manchang: "General Man, don't worry, I will definitely let Ling Zun's body go back to Xixia safely!" ”

Manchang nodded with emotion, and Zhi Kejun muttered: "I don't think it's easy to handle the prince, General Manchang is guilty, even if he returns to Western Xia, there may not be a good result, and I estimate that the Western Xia army has long been withdrawn, but no one has come to ask for Li Liangzuo's body until now." At this time, it seems inappropriate to let General Man go back like this! ”

Wang said next to him: "What General Zhe said is very true, let General Man follow us to Zhenrong first, the news of the heavy snow blocking the road in the past few days is not smooth, let's go to Zhenrong to find out the situation and then make plans." Tomorrow, you will send someone to Zhenrong to inform Cao Tian first, and say that the army next to my king will arrive later, so that he can prepare to meet him. I want to see how disrespectful this Cao Tian is to this king. As the king spoke, his hand subconsciously grasped the hilt of Songwen's sword.

It doesn't matter what kind of famous general you are or what kind of royal clan you are, now this king has the final say, and if you break this king's plan, you can still take it!
