Zhao Guangyi died, Zhao Guangyi actually died, the news came, just now Chen Bing Chang'an under Yang He knew that Zhao Guangyi's Northern Expedition would inevitably fail, not from the same events in history and speculation, but after weighing the strength of the two countries, he made a conclusion. His understanding of the strength of Liao** affairs, Xiao Xuan's will and skill, is far deeper than the spies sent to the north by the Song State, and in the Song State, the veterans are almost cleaned, and the new generals are certainly stronger than the old commanders, but the experience of the battle is far from enough, and the most important thing is that Zhao Guangyi has not changed, he is still the same ruthless, he is still the same empty-eyed, and he still likes to take charge of the troops in person.

But he definitely didn't expect that Zhao Guangyi would die, under the defense of the 300,000 army, the forbidden soldiers have been conditioned by Zhao Kuangyin for ten years, and it is the strongest time, even if the army is defeated and returns to the south, it will not be his turn to be the emperor to beat the knife and arrow, under what circumstances will he die?

The secret report sent was very detailed, and Song Tingzhong already had his meticulous work, and he had always had it, not to mention that now he was really doing it in front of the gong and the drum.

According to the secret report, Zhao Guangyi was assassinated in the Nanhui camp, and his head was cut off, and he was not discovered by his own soldiers until dawn. The army once speculated that it was the Liao people who secretly sent assassins, so they did not mourn and hurriedly returned south, but judging from the fact that the Liao people continued to embellish unhurriedly and never fought back with all their might, the assassins were not Liao, and the Liao people did not know that Zhao Guangyi had died violently.

Who is the murderer, now Song Ting doesn't care about the murderer, and Yang Hao is not interested in it, he thinks: What should I do now?

The Western Xia army, vigorously broke through the pass to the south, from Xiaoguan to Chang'an, killed Shang Boqian, drove the night to fall, several soldiers and horses marched together, Qinchuan saw his hand in the eight hundred miles of Guanzhong, at this time, they sent a banner of righteousness and vowed to levy the person who killed the king and usurped the throne, killed his sister-in-law and nephew, and died, where did they go?

Princess Yongqing sat opposite Yang Hao, also in a daze.

She hated the second uncle, hated the second uncle very much, so she did not hesitate to use the power of Yang Hao in Western Xia, just to kill the big enemy who killed her father and brother and brother, but now that he died in the northern country, Yongqing was suddenly at a loss in her heart, and the hatred that supported her will suddenly couldn't find a person to vent, and she was suddenly empty and a little overwhelmed.

"The King's ......"

Yongqing raised her head hesitantly, and Yang Hao slowly and resolutely interrupted her words: "The arrow has left the string, and there is no turning back."

Yongqing was silent, she was no longer a girl in the deep palace, she understood that even if Yang Hao had no intention of going to the Central Plains, she really couldn't turn back at this moment. The major affairs of the military state, how can it be equated with child's play" The matter has come to this point, because Zhao Guangyi is dead, so let the Western Xia who sent troops to the country stop and withdraw to Hexi, it is absolutely impossible, unless...... Yang Hao also died at this time.

"Your Highness, I have no choice, and neither do you. Still according to the original plan, Moutong

Guan, seize Chang'an, occupy Guanzhong, and wait and see the Central Plains. ”

Yang Hao pressed his sword and stood up, paused for a moment, and then said: "You don't want the mountains and rivers to be ruined and the people to suffer, so the only thing you can do now is to expose Zhao Guangyi's crimes as much as possible according to the previous plan, so that the whole world will know that he is not in the right position, and try his best to win the hearts of the people, the army, and the soldiers, only in this way can there be less fighting,"

"I see." Princess Yongqing also stood up, with a maturity on her face that was not commensurate with her age, she was still wearing the men's clothes of the prince, and then she gave Yang Hao a deep bow, and said in a deep voice: "Everything depends on the king, Yongqing...... He is still the king of Qi!"

Yang Hao smiled and nodded-, at this time Mu Yu hurriedly walked in, Mu Yu was already a general under Yang Hao at this time, although he was not very old, just and weak crown, but he had countless experiences since childhood, with Yang Hao's extensive knowledge, he was also very competent to be a palace guard general at this time. He and Mu Yike are married, and the husband and wife respect each other like guests and have an excellent relationship. Yang Hao has been waiting with a little wickedness, wanting to see if he will give birth to a daughter in the future, named Gui Ying.

"What's the matter?"

Yang Hao turned his head and asked, following him for so long, Mu Yu is already very eye-catching, he and Princess Yongqing are discussing in the tent, unless it is a big event, Mu Yu will not come to disturb. Mu Yu hurriedly stepped forward, and when he whispered a few words in his ear, Yang Hao's eyes widened.

Princess Yongqing's autumn-like eyes have been staring at Yang Hao, because the first thing Mu Yu said was that Yang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he glanced at her quickly, a woman's intuition was very powerful, she could feel it, the news that Ta Hao got should be related to her, or...... It is related to the identity she is playing now, and she is waiting for Yang Hao to reveal the mystery.

Yang Hao listened to Mu Yu's report, waved his hand lightly, Mu Yu quietly retreated, Yang Hao exhaled softly, and said, "Someone is here, it's here to join you." As soon as this person arrives in ......, I believe that in the near future, more and more people will turn against us and turn to us. But when this man comes, he may not be willing to help us, and the only one who can convince him is the princess. Princess, the culprit is dead, but this matter is not just a family matter, so ......

"I understand!" Princess Yongqing interrupted his words and smiled lightly, without lack of courage and determination: "I have figured it out, the matter has reached this point, and there is no room for recovery." If I change my mind at this time, my life and death are small, but between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, it will not be good in the end, the war is together, I don't know how many dead and wounded, the king is at my request to send troops, at that time I not only hurt you, but also hurt a lot of old courtiers who are loyal to my father, no matter whether Zhao Guangyi is alive or dead, I can only go on, and I will not hesitate anymore.

Yang Hao could see the sincerity in her words and nodded lightly. Princess Yongqing said: "So, now the king can tell me, who is here?" Yang Hao said: "Zhao Zeping, the whole family will vote!" Princess Yongqing raised her eyebrows and exclaimed, "Prime Minister Zhao? "Brother dog, what do you say, I can't read."

・ It says that we want to open the city and surrender as soon as possible, that Tongguan has fallen, and that if we resist stubbornly, once the city is broken, the jade will be burned, and we will never be spared, and the payment will be made by His Royal Highness the King of Qi and Yang Hao, the king of Western Xia. ”

"Alas, Brother Dog, do you think our Chang'an City can still hold it? I heard that Yang Hao can have a hand in tackling key problems, when he went west to Yumen Pass, he killed generals and captured the flag along the way, and he conquered everything. The Tubo people, the Hui people, and the Jinshan Guiyi Army are all vulnerable. Those are rumors, we don't know if it's true or not, but Shang Bo is thousands of vertical and horizontal, strong and strong, that is a generation of heroes under his nose, what is the result? The army of 200,000 will be crushed in a battle. ”

"Rongzi, let's just say this, don't make it public, or you will inevitably cause trouble. In my opinion, this city ...... Hang. That: begging ...... The seven deadly sins of today's saints are listed on the "檄", and they are clearly explained one by one, and the civil and military ministers of the previous dynasty read it, and their hearts were all towards King Qi; Who can't understand the right and wrong of good and evil? The gentry and the common people of the world also sympathized with King Qi; And on the seven deadly sins, he also reprimanded the saint for killing Li

Yu, killed Meng Chang, slaughtered Jiangzhou, destroyed Jinyang, and wanted to seek justice for the two kings who died in vain and those people, and at this moment, Jiangnan, Bashu, and even the people of the original Han Kingdom ran to King Qi. Further south, the original places of the Min Kingdom and the Southern Han Kingdom have only been annexed for two years, let alone loyalty, and if you calculate it carefully, the saints are all betrayed and separated......

The two soldiers were muttering there, and Lin Yuehuan, the deputy commander of the Xiang Army, appeared behind him with a calm face: "What are you talking about?" ”

The two soldiers were startled, turned around suddenly, and saw that it was the deputy commander who led a few soldiers to stand there murderously, bluffing his knees, and knelt on the ground all of a sudden...... The little ones didn't do anything. It's just nagging.

"Chatter?" Lin Yuehuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "What are you holding in your hands?"

Stuff?

The two of them were shocked to realize that they were still holding the propaganda poster that the Xixia soldiers under the city came up, and they were busy hiding behind them, Lin Yuehuan snorted, and immediately two soldiers rushed up, snatched the poster from their hands, and turned around to present it to Commander Lin.

The two of them were so frightened that they kowtowed again and again to ask for guilt, and the old dog said: "The little one is guilty, the little one is guilty, and the little one is just looking at it." ”

Rongzi said, "Uh...... The little one doesn't know how to read...... I listened to Liu Touer......

Lin Yuehuan unfolded the post and looked at it, snorted lightly, turned around and walked away, the two soldiers were stunned, staring directly at Lin Zhixiang's hands on his back, and the hand was pinching the letter they had just read.

The two of them looked at each other, and the furry man plucked up his courage and said, "Brother dog, the commander is the commander...... Why didn't you send us down? ”

The old dog said, "I'm also strange ......, by the way!" What did you just say? You can't read, you listen to me? nǎinǎi, is it good that you picked it up? ”

Rongzi said, "I'...... I...... I saw the commander, and I was flustered for a while, don't you, old dog

"I'm shitting you, you're flustered? You are flustered but you haven't forgotten to pluck yourself,

Buckle the basin on Lao Tzu. You're a!"

"Hey, old dog, don't do it, I'm -...... I...... I'm rì, old dog, you fight again

I've turned my face!"

Not to mention that the two soldiers fought in the back, holding the disclosure sticker in their hands, Lin Yuehuan was heartbroken: "Damn, Lao Tzu has worked hard for half a life, hard work, and finally climbed to today's position, the official is big, and the courage is small, why is it not as good as the two big-headed soldiers to see Zun Che, His Royal Highness King Qi is in the heart of the world, and he really wants to be occupied by him, and there is King Yang of Western Xia to help, "Who does this world belong to, what am I afraid of?" What's more, if the handle is in the hands of others, if I really don't obey, the saint will be able to spare me?"

"General Lin, the future is bright, if you don't follow, Huangquan Road is near, where to go" still need

Want to choose? ”

"If I take refuge in His Highness, how can His Highness repay me?"

"Founding hero, isn't this enough?"

Thinking of a conversation with King Qi and guest seat Chuyun, Lin Yuehuan's heart suddenly became hot: "It's done!"

Lin Yuehuan stopped abruptly and said to a few cronies: I suddenly remembered that there was something to tell my family, go, go back. ”

In the Lin Mansion, Xi Chuyun was like the second master, with a plate of thinly shaved sheep's head and face meat, hot a pot of old wine, eating a sip of wine, and a piece of meat, and was leisurely, Lin Yuehuan broke in in armor, Xi Chuyun squinted at him, and said with a smile: "Lord Lin, do you have a claim?" ”

Lin Yuehuan's face turned blue, he took a few deep breaths, and said in a deep voice: "Please reply to Your Highness, tonight's third watch, Lin will open the North City to answer!"

Zhao Pu degraded the place, the local township chief has the responsibility of taking care of them, don't underestimate them, in this poor and remote country, they are not only the township officials, but also the local family members, that is the general existence of the emperor, say one or two, extremely powerful, every family is also subject to the transfer, to take care of a family of literati who have lost power, it is really easy.

However, this is only under normal circumstances, if there are outsiders to respond, and Jīng is good at the art of fighting, it is not something that a few brave villagers can deal with, Zhao Pu is determined, the people sent by Yang Hao will immediately take his whole family on the road, and who can stop them from these professional killers?

But Zhao Puwan never expected that when he rushed to Yang Hao's military camp in a hurry, he was greeted with a scoop of cold water, and the so-called His Royal Highness King Qi was actually Princess Yongqing, and the real King Qi was really dead.

Zhao Pu's hands and feet were cold for a while, and it was easy for him to oppose Zhao Guangyi, on the one hand, he was conscious that he had no way out, rather than dying with the grass and trees, it was better to fight him again, on the other hand, although he was old and suppressed by Zhao Kuangyin, but Qi Kuanggong transferred him out of the center, although he was afraid that his authority was too heavy, but he did have many handles in the hands of others, such as smuggling Qinling trees, such as encroaching on the royal garden, Zhao Kuangyin was still good to him, only cut his power, and still retained the position and treatment of the prime minister, Back then, he worshiped Zhao Kuangyin's father as his father-in-law, and Zhao Kuangyin respected him for so many years, and the two were both monarchs and brothers.

But I never thought that this King Qi was actually Princess Yongqing, a woman, how could she inherit the unification, even if she could hide from the world, one day she would really achieve great things, but the heirs of the first emperor had already died, who belonged to this country? He has protected the Zhao family all his life, but when he is old, he will end up in the name of a traitor and help Yang Hao?

"Old Prime Minister, my father has always respected you as a brother, and now I will not give up, so righteous, Yongqing is grateful. Killing his father and mother, killing his brother and crippled his brother, now in my family, there is only one weak girl left, so hateful, how can I not repay it? The old prime minister is famous all over the world, and his protégés are all over the world, if there is a prime minister to help, Yongqing has a deep hatred in this sea of blood, and there is hope......"

Zhao Pu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Highness is whimsical, how could he come up with such a ridiculous idea?" If you know that the princess is here, how can the old man not ......, alas, princess, you are seeking skin with the tiger, even if you get revenge, what should you do at that time, this great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji, the country created by your righteous emperor, is it ...... Do you really want to give it to others? ”

Yongqing said: "The old prime minister thinks that Zhao Guangyi killed my parents and brothers and stole the throne, what does this Zhao family have to do with me?" Isn't it ridiculous that people have taken the throne of my father and caused me to be full of old and young, and I still have to remember the belonging of this country and society for him and maintain his imperial power? ”

"This ......" Although Zhao Pu was speechless, he only shook his head, obviously to Yongqing's statement

Still some disagree.

Yongqing said again: "What's more, Yongqing didn't abandon his family and country for the sake of borrowing troops, what Zhao Guangyi did had already cut off our blood and family ties." Yongqing abandoned his home, but did not abandon the country!

"What do you mean by that?"

Yongqing said: "The old prime minister thinks that what is more important than the heir and the succession? ”

Zhao Pu's eyes showed a slight surprise, as if he was aware of something, but he couldn't be sure.

Yongqing asked, "Why did the old prime minister teach me?" ”

Zhao Pu hesitated for a moment, and replied in a deep voice: "For a family, the heir is the most important.

For a country, succession is the most important. ”

Yongqing said: "If the family and the country are one, and the two cannot be both, how to choose?"

"Nature should focus on the inheritance of the system."

Yongqing nodded slightly: "What the old prime minister said is very true, Yongqing did exactly that."

Zhao Pu said: "Your Highness is saying? ”

Yongqing said something slowly, Zhao Pu was stunned when he heard it, and he was stunned for a long time before he said: "If something big can be done, who else can restrain him?" Breaking promises and breaking promises, at that time, was nothing more than a gesture for him. ”

Yongqing closed his eyes and said, "I have no choice but to trust him." Prime Minister, is there still a choice now? ”

Is there still a choice? From the time he went out of the village and killed the Zhengzhi there, he Zhao Pu was already an out-and-out thief, even if he was not afraid of death, but he still had sons and grandsons, what was the heaviest for a family? How can he choose? Does he have a choice?

In the vertical arch hall, Zhao Yuanzuo, who was wearing a dragon robe and a filial piety belt around his waist, sat behind the imperial case in a daze, and heard that the courtier seemed to be saying something below, but the voice only lingered in his ears, but he didn't hear a word in his heart.

General Luo said that the murderer should not be sent by Liao Yuan, when the army rushed two rì, when he saw that the Liao army was fighting with all his might, the suspicion of Liao State had been removed, so who was the murderer?

Zhao Yuanzuo unexpectedly remembered the one-armed assassin who had taken him hostage in the Heavenly Prison and escaped with his mother as a hostage and fled to the north.

"But if there is a breath, I will kill Zhao Jiong!

Is he the murderer? If it was him, wouldn't I be the culprit of my father's murder? Zhao Yuanzuo was clever and fought a cold war.

"Now, just after the great defeat, the first emperor was assassinated and died, and there are all kinds of rumors among the people, so that the people's hearts are unstable, morale is low, and the army is scattered. And Yang Hao of Western Xia, who captured Shang Boqian in a battle, went down to Guanzhong in the west, and was also very dangerous......"

Zhang Bohe was already halfway there, and he saw that the Son of Heaven, who had been erected and enthroned quickly, had a look in his eyes, "It seems that he didn't hear him speak at all, and he couldn't help but call."

"Hit! Then hit! I, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, are strong and strong, and I am very afraid of thousands of miles of splendid mountains and rivers! Li Jilong sat on the three levels, and I was very relieved, very relieved. General Luo, I promise you a group of men and horses to recapture Guanzhong for me and beat Yang Hao back to Western Xia. ”

"No, no, there is King Qi in Guan, there is Defang here, no matter what, he is always his own brother, and when the national disaster is at the head, he will definitely not be embarrassed by me. Send someone to tell him, tell him that his father is dead, the Liao people are invading, and he will take care of the overall situation. ”

Zhao Wuzuo's eyes were a little weird, and when he said this, he stopped abruptly, his eyes stared straight at the corner of the hall, but there was nothing there, all the civil and military ministers looked a little hairy, Zhao Yuanzuo looked at it for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have just woken up, Huo Di raised his head and shouted: "Dali Temple, Yushitai, Criminal Department." ”

The chief officer of the yamen who was summoned by him hurriedly went out of class, bowed down and played: "The minister is here." ”

Zhao Wuzuo slapped his forehead, waved his hand again, and drove them back, the chief official of the three yas returned to his position inexplicably, Zhao Yuanzuo suddenly patted the imperial case, and said angrily: Where is the Imperial City Division, the assassination of the first emperor, have you ever found some clues?"

Zhen Chuge, the chief official of the Imperial City Division, was not qualified to go to the palace to participate in politics at all, and where did anyone answer him for a while, Luo Kedi and Zhang Xun glanced at each other, and saw deep worry in each other's eyes, "Internal and external troubles, the building will collapse, but the saint is on him...... It seems that the jīng god is a little not very good after being seriously stimulated, how can this be good?

At this time, Ono Keer waved his army to conquer Yanzhou, and then he personally drove seven thousand cavalry, one man and two horses, marched for a day and two nights, attacked Kuanzhou, and built a camp wall here, set up a camp to build a village, according to the right solid Yan'an, the left overlook the east of the river, and the north and Yin, Xia two states connected into a line.

Yang Yanlang entered Jingzhou, seized Changwu, set up an ambush at the mouth of the valley on the bank of the Miaoshui River, first sent out an army to deliberately defeat and returned, led the Song army to attack, took the opportunity to cover and kill, and the iron cavalry took turns to break through the formation, rushing for a long time, and the Song army's infantry was chaotic. The generals of the Song army broke through the siege separately in their respective headquarters, and at this time, the ambush troops were exhausted, and thousands of jīng soldiers cut off the enemy's retreat and formed a siege.

Song general Haichun was hit by more than ten arrows, still wielding iron and steel to fight, his subordinate colonel persuaded him to break through the siege, Haichun said: "I am a general, since the army is defeated, only to die to repay the country!"

Then he re-entered the battle, wielded iron and steel, killed 100 people, the tiger's mouth cracked, blood dripping, during which he changed horses three times, and repeatedly broke into the enemy. Yang Yanlang loved his loyalty and ordered the three armies to be captured alive, but General Hai fought until the end of the battle, exhausted, for fear of being captured, he actually abandoned the steel and looked east three times, and then drew his sword and killed himself. The deputy general Sheng Long led the army to rush to the east and west, but he could not break out of Yang Yanlang's ambush on all sides, and was forced to lead the people to surrender.

Chang'an deputy commander Lin Yuehuan three more to open the city, lead the Western Xia army into the city, ordered the department not to resist, Yang Haosheng captured the forbidden army commander Tao Xuanyuan, the soldiers did not bloody to seize Chang'an, and then Tao Xuanyuan sealed the letter of the pass as evidence, sent "Feiyu" dead soldiers 100 people to deceive the Tongguan. At the same time, Zhang Chongwei conquered Qinzhou, Baoji was isolated, and the prefect Shao Wangxin received a letter from Zhao Pu, so he opened the city and surrendered the king of Qi. So far, Hexi, Longyou, and Guanzhong are connected, and the southwest half of the wall is in the hands of Yang Hao.

At this time, Wang Xiaobo, the leader of the rebel army who had been dormant for a long time, suddenly came out of Shu Mountain again, and played the banner of the king of Yingqi, this move was quite demagogic, and the land of Bashu rose again, and Jiangnan has not been a climate, but has not been hit by a major blow The small group of rebels also began to act frequently, and began to move to the Jingxiang area, as if there was a plan to connect with Bashu.

Snowflakes from all over the world flew to Tokyo, and Gyeonggi was shaken for a while. At this time, Lu Duoxun also rushed to Guanzhong from Hainan, just like Zhao Pu, on Yang Hao's thief ship, he couldn't get off if he wanted to, the two Xiangguo jointly announced to the world, supported the king of Qi, and frequently secretly sent autumn waves to their old departments, the position of these two ministers and their influence is not trivial, and the civil and military officials in various places have lost respect for Zhao Guangyi because of the reason of the article, and then Zhao Pu and Lu Duoxun The two bigwigs expressed their attitudes, and their attitudes were a little ambiguous for a while.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State rewarded the ministers, and then took Yelu Xiuge as the capital, and Xiao Paiya, Xiao Qinde, Xiao Jiyuan, Lin Yamou Lugu, and Taiwei Lin Ba led the army to follow, and the main force of the car sat in Youzhou, Nanjing, and began to march towards the Song State, all the way to Yanmen Pass, all the way to Waqiao Pass, and to the south.

Not to mention how the Great Song Dynasty court learned the news, Yang Hao, who had just stabilized the entire territory of Guanzhong, learned the news, but once everything was ready, but once Guanzhong raised troops, the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army was attacked on both sides, and it would be difficult to resist the Liao army that came sharply, and the brothers were on the wall, and the Khitan would gain a lot of benefits, how should he choose?
