Chapter 475: The Fall of Jingzhou
Jingzhou City has been breached! Zhao Yan couldn't help but stand up excitedly when he heard the good news, when he hadn't left the capital, Yang Wenguang's army was blocked under the city of Jingzhou, and the battle situation at that time was favorable to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Yan and most people thought that Yang Wenguang should conquer Jingzhou soon, but Li Liangzuo in order to block the Song army, it was like crazy to keep increasing troops to Jingzhou, it can be said that it was completely filled with human lives, and the result was to block Yang Wenguang's army.
When Zhao Yan looked at the battle situation on the front line before, he had already found that Yang Wenguang had entered the city of Jingzhou several times, and once even occupied most of the city, but Li Liangzuo ordered the army to fight back regardless of the madness, and as a result, Yang Wenguang could not bear such huge casualties, so he had to order the army to retreat temporarily, and now the city wall of Jingzhou has been broken by one-third, but the Western Xia people demolished the houses in the city, and then established several lines of defense in the city, it seems that they want to defend Jingzhou City, but no one thought of it, Jingzhou suddenly fell.
"Big brother, what the hell is going on, didn't Li Liangzuo say that he would defend Jingzhou to the death, how could he suddenly fall?" Zhao Yan asked very eagerly, and Hua Zhi next to him also showed an expression of excitement and curiosity.
"Hehe, this matter is not complicated, no matter how strong the city is, if it is destroyed from the inside, it will be much easier!" Zhao Ji said and told the story of the incident, and his eyes deliberately looked at Hua Zhi.
It turns out that this incident is also related to Hua Zhi, to be exact, it is related to Hua Zhi's eldest brother's reward. After rewarding the Great Song Dynasty to surrender, he recruited his father's old troops to form a cavalry, and then incorporated a lot of scattered Western Xia soldiers, which made the strength grow rapidly, and then made repeated achievements in the contest with the Western Xia rangers, which also made the reward shift gain the trust of Zhao Ji and Yang Wenguang.
Originally, he led his cavalry to wander outside the main battlefield. After all, they are cavalry, and they are not of much use for the siege battle under Jingzhou City, but it is also good luck to reward the move, because the Western Xia army in Jingzhou City suffered great casualties, so Li Liangzuo continued to mobilize new army reinforcements, which happened to be just a few days ago. A general named Da Du led his army of 30,000 into Jingzhou City.
Da Du and the father of the reward are friends of life and death, and Man Baa has also saved Da Du's life many times, after Li Liangzuo regained power, Da Du has repeatedly reminded Man Baa to be careful of Li Liangzuo, but unfortunately Man Baa did not take it to heart, and finally was plotted to death by Li Liangzuo, for which Da Du was also very sad.
Originally, everyone in Western Xia knew the relationship between Da Du and Man Ba, and Li Liangzuo would do something to Da Du next after eradicating Man Baa. But he didn't expect that the Great Song Dynasty would attack the whole country, making Western Xia a mess, but even so, Li Liangzuo was still very uneasy about Da Du, and even at the beginning, he didn't plan to use Da Du's army at all, but later the casualties in Jingzhou City were too great, and he couldn't care about a lot. had to take the risk of transferring Da Du up, and at the same time, he also had the idea of disappearing Da Du by the hand of Song Jun.
However, Da Du had just led his army into Jingzhou City. Reward Yi caught a few captives during a campaign against the Western Xia rangers, and learned about Da Du from the mouths of these captives, which made Xiang Yi immediately realize that this was an excellent opportunity for meritorious service, so he immediately ran to Yang Wenguang's army in the starry night, and put forward the idea that he was willing to risk entering the city to persuade Da Du to surrender. This made Yang Wenguang also very surprised, and immediately began to prepare for the appreciation.
Speaking of the process of rewarding moving into the city, it is also very tortuous, first of all, in order to prevent others from recognizing him, he actually cut two knives in his face very cruelly. Then Yang Wenguang organized an attack on Jingzhou City, and when he finally retreated under the frenzied counterattack of the Tanguts, he was dressed in bloodstained Xixia soldiers and claimed to be lying in the pile of dead, so that the Tanguts who cleaned the battlefield thought that he was a wounded soldier before, and was carried back to the wounded barracks in the city.
Jingzhou City is full of disrupted troops, many generals can't find their own team, so the reward does not have to be exposed, he lay in the wounded camp for two days, and finally heard the news of Da Du, and then took advantage of the background to touch the opponent's army, Xiang Yi used to often arrive in the Du army to walk around, so most of the generals under Da Du also knew him, he first found a reliable general to identify himself, and finally saw Da Du.
Da Du didn't expect that the son of the old man would find him at this time, but he was not stupid, he had already known the news of the transfer to the Great Song Dynasty before, so after a little thought, he understood the other party's intention. After the reward moved in, he didn't go around in circles, and directly showed that he came on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, hoping that Uncle Da Du could recognize the shape and take Jingzhou City with the Song army outside the city, and the Great Song Dynasty would definitely not treat him badly.
Da Du was originally very dissatisfied with Li Liangzuo's killing of Manba, and he also understood that this time Li Liangzuo transferred him to Jingzhou City, in fact, he also wanted the Song army to destroy his army, and even if he didn't die in the hands of the Song army this time, he would definitely be killed by Li Liangzuo after he went back, so it can be said that this time he was also forced to the edge of the cliff, it depends on whether he has the courage to give it a go?
It turns out that Da Du is also a daring gambler, especially when he is cornered, he dares to bet all his qi on the gambling table, and it is because he knows Da Duk's character very well, so he will be so bold to sneak into the city alone to persuade him.
On the fifth day of the reward to sneak into the city, Da Du made an appointment with the Song army outside the city, and suddenly rebelled in the early hours of the morning, Da Du's men wore white scarves to see the difference, and then killed the other Western Xia troops in the city, and then the Great Song Dynasty also launched a general attack again at this time.
"That's how things happened, this time he made the first contribution, although he said not to take credit, but my Great Song Dynasty will not be rewarded, in the future, this king will personally write his name on the merit book!" When Zhao Yan said this, his eyes deliberately glanced at Hua Zhi, as if he was asking her for credit, but Zhao Yan next to him sighed secretly when he saw this, it seems that Zhao Zhi is not just deeply in love with Hua Zhi.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Hua Zhi didn't be polite to Zhao Ji, but she still looked indifferent when she spoke, as if she didn't care about credit or anything like that, but maybe it was because of this indifferent attitude that Zhao Ji was so fascinated by her.
Seeing that Hua Zhi was not interested in the war on the front line, Zhao Ji immediately changed the topic and asked Zhao Yan next to him with a smile: "Third brother, what were you talking about before?" ”
"Hehe, Mrs. Hua Zhi asked me a few physics problems, but I think these topics are a bit boring, and I was about to tell her about your big brother in Tokyo City, but I didn't expect you to come back." Zhao Yan joked at the moment.
"Nonsense, how can I have any affair?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but blush when he heard Zhao Yan's words, speaking of which he was reluctant to marry a wife, which also led to a lot of rumors about his feelings in Tokyo City, some people said that Zhao Ji liked a commoner's daughter, some people said that Zhao Ji was in love with a brothel in Qinglou, and some people actually didn't like women, but liked beautiful men, and every rumor was said to have a nose and eyes, as if there was really such a thing, although Zhao Ji was a prince, it was impossible to block everyone's mouth, so he could only be out of sight and out of mind, But that's not to say he really doesn't know anything.
"Hahaha~, big brother, what are you anxious about, could it be that those rumors about you circulating in Tokyo City are true?" Zhao Yan didn't let Zhao Yan go because of this, and laughed again at the moment.
"Oh, I don't know what rumors there are about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Tokyo City, can His Royal Highness the King of the County solve the doubts of the little girl?" Hua Zhi also joked at this time, her feelings for Zhao Ji are actually very strange, there are four points of liking, and three points of gratitude, as for what the remaining three points are, even she can't tell herself, but no matter what, she is willing to stay by Zhao Ji's side forever.
"Haha~, speaking of rumors about the eldest brother, it's really all kinds of lively, let's talk about the most famous one first......" Zhao Yan laughed and began to talk about the rumors in Tokyo City, Zhao Yan couldn't stop it if he wanted to, and finally simply let Zhao Yan talk nonsense, anyway, with Hua Zhi's intelligence, he wouldn't believe these rumors.
Zhao Yan accompanied Zhao Ji and Hua Zhi to chat until the afternoon, and then got up to say goodbye, but as soon as he came out of the Shuai Mansion, he saw Huang Wude anxiously waiting outside, and when he saw him come out, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, how are things, how is that Hua Zhi, did you use any magic to confuse His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Hearing Huang Wude's series of questions, Zhao Yan couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, and after pulling him into the carriage, he said: "I have seen that Hua Zhi, it just so happened that the news that Jingzhou was conquered at that time, the eldest brother left for a while, and I took this opportunity to make it clear to Hua Zhi, Hua Zhi is also a very smart woman, and she doesn't know any demon methods, she has agreed to persuade the eldest brother to change her mind, but this matter can't be rushed, it's not too late for her to find an opportunity to persuade the eldest brother again." ”
"Whew, that's great!" Huang Wude also sighed to himself when he heard this, what he was most worried about was that Hua Zhi couldn't see the shape clearly, and she wanted to be the crown princess of the Great Song Dynasty, if so, then she would probably cause death for herself, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Lao Huang, leave the matter of persuading the eldest brother to Hua Zhi to do, she is a smart person, we don't need to worry about things in the future, now you help me prepare, I want to go to Jingzhou to have a look!" Zhao Yan ordered again at this time, although Jingzhou City was conquered, his students didn't know if they had paid some casualties for it? As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Yan felt extremely guilty in his heart, and he had to visit his students in person. (To be continued......) R1292
