Chapter 431: Good News Comes
readx;
The Song general had already gained the upper hand after three shots, and was about to make a killing move, the war horse of the fine seal Shuo Kui suddenly neighed and fell to the ground, and the Song general's special skill was suddenly unable to perform, and when he took back the spear alive, he saw that Liu Ping's hook and sickle spear had been pierced in the heart of the fine seal Shuo Kui!
General Song was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "General Liu, you must have made the first merit this time, you can't grab this head with the last general, right?" ”
Liu Ping stabbed Shuokui to death and put the gun back: "General Xu, I can give you the head, but this person, I must kill him with my own hands!" ”
Xu Huaide didn't say anything, his eyes rolled: "General Liu has worked hard, take his subordinates back to rest." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Liu Ping sat on the ground, took a few deep breaths, and suddenly Wu Ming rushed to him and knelt down on one knee: "General, if you fail to ask for reinforcements on time, please punish the general!" ”
Xu Huaide smiled: "You guys are here to discuss punishment or receive merit, I will continue to attack and flank the enemy with General Di Qing." ”
It was Di Qing who attacked Li Yuanhao's formation, and when Di Qing began to charge the formation, Li Yuanhao had already sounded the horn of retreat. The arrival of this group of Song troops meant that the party had lost the battle.
But Li Yuanhao knew that he had to fight with these Song troops, and first tested whether these reinforcements were scareless. Second, if it is really the army of the Song Dynasty that comes, and he turns around and runs now, it will form a rout.
In addition, he also very much looked at who came to rescue Liu Ping.
In Li Yuanhao's eyes, there is no force in Western Xinjiang to rescue and return to Yancheng. Fan Zhongyan's troops remaining in the Song Dynasty had all been transferred to some important cities for defense, and if it was a Song army elsewhere, he should have received the news.
When his Di Qing's spears collided together, Li Yuanhao couldn't help but be a little stunned: "Di Qing! ”
When he recognized Di Qing, Di Qing was just a small commander. Li Yuan's mouth read: "Didn't you go to Helan Mountain?" ”
Di Qing smiled slightly: "The terrain of Helan Mountain is dangerous, last year, dozens of troops of Liao Xingzong were unable to cross the king's Helan Mountain, Di Qing only had 50,000 people, how could he take the risk?" ”
Li Yuanhao looked behind him, and then looked at Xu Huaide's team over there: "I see that you have more than 50,000 people, right?" ”
Di Qing nodded: "I know the power of the king very well, so I don't dare to come when there are fewer people." I went on a trip to the three levels and borrowed some soldiers and horses from Marshal Mu. It took some time, but fortunately, it didn't disappoint the king. ”
Di Qing only said half of this, and when Fan Zhongyan received the letter, he knew that it was fake. Fan Zhongyan didn't come back, not because he was ruthless and didn't care about Xijiang, but he didn't know what was going on! He once sent someone to come back to investigate, but both teams of people did not return.
Therefore, Fan Zhongyan could only choose to continue to attack Yanzhou.
But Fan Zhongyan never gave up on Western Xinjiang, he sent Di Qing to quietly enter the Song Dynasty from Sanguan, and first investigate the situation before making plans.
When Di Qing arrived at the third level, he happened to meet Wu Ming who came to ask for help, and everything was like this. Wu Ming couldn't ask for reinforcements, it was because he didn't have anything to prove his identity, and Mu Guiying wouldn't mobilize the army for the sake of an unidentified person's words.
But Di Qing came to be different, he was the general of the Song Dynasty Yin Xin, he had Fan Zhongyan's handwriting, seeing that his troops were insufficient to win, Mu Guiying asked Xu Huaide to bring 20,000 people to help.
Di Qing didn't think there was any need to talk to Li Yuanhao about these twists and turns, and waved his spear: "Don't talk about the rest, the king, how about you and I fight again?" ”
Li Yuanhao also wanted to fight again, but it was more obvious to him that what Di Qing said was definitely not a solo fight between two people. It's not okay to beat him in groups, the morale of the party members has now fallen to the lowest point, but the Song army is like a rainbow because of the arrival of reinforcements.
Li Yuanhao knew in his heart that the war in Western Xinjiang had been decided, and he had lost! Seeing that the team was ready to retreat, Li Yuanhao smiled coldly at Di Qing: "There will be a chance!" Remove! ”
The party members came like a tide a month ago, and now they are receding like a tide. The Battle of Western Xinjiang was won by the Song army!
Why is it that the Dangxiang people and the Liao State have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of casualties in a battle, while in the battle of the Song Dynasty, a battle with tens of thousands of casualties is considered a big war? The key to this is that the Song army lacked horses and generally stayed in the city.
And the party lacked the equipment to attack the city. So when fighting, the Song army saw that the situation was not right and shrank into the city, and the party members basically had nothing to do. The Song army dared to come out to fight, just like Fan Zhongyan this time, in fact, he already had the certainty of victory, if the party members looked at the unfavorable situation of the battle and turned around and ran, the Song army would not be able to catch up with others.
This time it was the same, although Di Qing led the team to pursue, but only captured some party members who were responsible for pushing supplies, and only a few of those cavalry were unlucky and were captured by the Song army, a total of only more than 100 people, after chasing for more than ten miles, the Song army could only watch Li Yuanhao go away!
This is also an important reason why Fan Zhongyan and Chen Yuan both said that the Song Dynasty is not capable of completely solving the party project now!
Li Yuanhao can't catch him if you run! If it really hits the party, the Song army will fall into a passive place and have to defend everywhere.
By the time Di Qing stopped the pursuit and returned to Yancheng, Song Qi, who came back with him, had already cleaned up the battlefield, and the two of them walked around the city wall, looking at the wall bricks stained red with blood, looking at the corpses that had been piled up under the city, and looking at the collision left on the arrow stack. They could imagine how hard the defenders fought.
Song Qi turned his head to look at Liu Ping: "General Liu Ping, thank you for your hard work!" We won the battle on the front line, Master Fan completely annihilated the 50,000 horses left by Li Yuanhao in Yanzhou, and now he is waiting for Li Yuanhao to go back and hit our army headlong, Li Yuanhao is finished, he can't turn over! ”
Liu Ping was very excited, many brothers died, and there were only more than 1,000 left of the 5,000 people, but just like Chen Shimei said, the soldiers' surnames were used in exchange for victory! Hearing that his own sacrifice was in exchange for such a result, he felt that everything was worth it.
Liu Ping looked at Di Qing: "General Di Qing, what should we do next?" Are you still fighting? ”
Di Qing shook his head: "I can't fight." Master Fan said that we are not ready to accept the party's items, the Great Song Dynasty has a bad harvest this year, and there are many victims of the disaster, and if we force a war at this time, it will only make the people's words more sad. And even if we win, we won't be able to use the surplus food to help the party members. Now this burden is too heavy for us, let's let Li Yuanhao carry it. ”
Liu Ping looked at Song Qi again, Song Qi smiled: "Don't worry, there will always be a day to clean up Li Yuanhao, now, you tell me about the battle, I will draft a fold and ask the emperor for credit for you!" This time, you're the leader! ”
Liu Ping sighed, credit is not the most important thing, he is very disappointed to give up the war now, but he knows that what Fan Zhongyan said is right. Looking at the West, Liu Ping whispered: "I hope I can come back." ”
The battle in the western frontier was finally won, Li Yuanhao suffered a heavy blow, and his shattered empire was already crumbling as if it had been hit by another hurricane, maybe the shattering of that wall brick would collapse the entire building.
Bianjing.
The matter of the master of the horse has become an indispensable meal on the wine table, and it has also become a topic that must be discussed in the court of these people.
Renzong really wanted to kill Chen Yuan, but Zhao Yi cried and begged every day, which made Renzong unable to be ruthless. Is face important, or is it important to have a daughter? The question made him hesitate.
Bao Zheng has been secretly investigating the true origin of the killer, he used almost all the power of Dali Temple, among those gangsters, among the characters in the rivers and lakes, in the end, all the spearheads are pointed at Pang Taishi.
There is ample evidence that the last person this killer saw before leaving was Pang Xi.
But the old and cunning Pang Ji seemed to feel something. In the past few days, he has been silent in the court, and he is also very honest after leaving the court, and he does not express any opinion on Chen Shimei's killing of his wife and children.
This really made Bao Zheng unable to find a clue.
At that time, the decision of a case, especially a case like this, was entirely based on personal speculation, and then went to the direction where there might be evidence to find evidence.
If Pang Ji doesn't move, Bao Zheng can't find a flaw.
From Qin Xianglian, Bao Zheng has already investigated very clearly, and Wang Yanling is categorically inseparable from this matter. It's just that Wang Yanling is an honest man, even if sometimes he will make up his mind to do something bad for his position, but he can't think of such a bad idea.
Where can be a breakthrough, but Bao Zheng did not move Wang Yanling.
This is not a simple criminal case of killing a wife and children. Its roots come from the court and are a continuation of the court struggle. When to get your hands on? Who to move? This depends on the result of the final contest between the two sides in the court.
If Fan Zhongyan returns victoriously and it is imperative to implement the new policy, then Bao Zheng will move Wang Yanling and help Renzong get rid of the biggest resistance to the new policy from here!
If the war situation in Western Xinjiang is unfavorable and Renzong feels that the new deal is useless and wants to put the new deal on hold, then even if Chen Shimei is wronged, Bao Zheng will kill him. Use Chen Shimei's life to warn those who want to implement the new deal, so that the people's discussion about the new deal will stop immediately!
This is what the country needs.
Don't you see that Bao Zheng has some wall grass? If you think so, it is wrong, his position is very firm, he stands on the side of the emperor, he is not defending the new policy, it is the country and the country. What he wants to get rid of are those unstable factors, things that are unfavorable to the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty under a specific environment.
So he's more careful than anyone else, and he's going to be prepared for both.
"Chasan, how is Chen Shimei in prison?" Bao Zheng looked at Yan Chasan and asked.
Yan Chasan had just gone to see Chen Yuan, and immediately said to Bao Zheng: "Teacher, Chen Shimei is in good spirits, and she writes every day. ”
Bao Zheng smiled after hearing this: "Is he going to write something again?" ”
Yan Chasan shook his head: "It's not about writing words this time, how can he support Li Shibin and those people to fight with Li Yuanhao after he writes it, and how to do it against Liao in the future." ”
Bao Zheng pondered for a moment: "He is quite confident. By the way, a few days ago, he said to the Zhan guards that he wanted to write a booklet to strengthen the army, was it done? If it's written, let him give it to me for collection. ”
Yan Chasan said: "Teacher, Chen Shimei only wrote more than 50 words in that booklet and put it down. A student once asked him why, and he said he would wait for him to go out and write about it. ”
Bao Zheng also felt a pity for this result. In Bao Zheng's view, Chen Shimei was able to take a group of recruits to the party to achieve brilliant results, and he should have a set for strengthening the army.
But since Chen Yuan didn't write, Bao Zheng unfortunately had no choice, and said after thinking for a while: "No matter what, at this point, he is still thinking about strengthening the army and solving the problems of the Liao State, at least he can be regarded as loyal." The day before yesterday, I told the emperor that he was writing a brochure on strengthening the army, and the emperor was quite moved when he heard it. ”
Yan Chasan asked casually: "Teacher, what is the emperor going to do about the beauty of the world?" ”
Bao Zheng put his hands behind his back: "Don't ask me about this, then Chen Shimei wants to tell you, the key lies in Western Xinjiang." ”
Yan Chasan responded, and then asked Bao Zheng again: "Teacher, the princess came to see Qin Xianglian again yesterday, seeing what Qin Xianglian meant, is to believe the princess, the students don't quite understand, if the princess really convinces Qin Xianglian, she won't tell Chen Shimei, what should we do?" ”
Bao Zheng smiled bitterly: "Now Qin Xianglian has to sue, and if she doesn't sue, she has to sue!" I can't help her! ”
Yan Chasan also knew that Qin Xianglian was actually riding a tiger now, and as Chen Yuan's good friend, he was really a little worried about Chen Yuan!
Why does Chen Shimei believe so much that Western Xinjiang will definitely win? You must know that the achievements of the Great Song army have made many people lose hope for victory, if the Western Xinjiang loses and Chen Yuan is stuffed under the guillotine, what should he do? Watching him get caught?
Yan Chasan was a little afraid of this result.
At this time, Zhan Zhao ran in from the wind outside: "My lord, there is good news from Western Xinjiang, our army has severely damaged Li Yuanhao in Huiyancheng, killing more than 30,000 enemies!" Lord Fan Zhongyan conquered Yanzhou with ten times the enemy's strength and annihilated more than 40,000 party defenders! ”
