The conversation between Shen Zejing and Wei Yanqing broke up unhappily. The title of Marquis of Xining, the Shen family directly refused.

Refusing to appease means that the Praetorian Guards and Jin Wuwei still have a battle to the death, which means that there will be casualties among the people of Jingzhao. Wei Yanqing and Zheng Diheng gathered their generals overnight to discuss how to deal with it.

Jin Wuwei just had a death battle with Long Youwei, and the mess was not cleaned up, and the soldiers had just relaxed, and they were about to face the Praetorian Guard, which made many generals have a dish.

The brave and good fighting of the Red Armor Praetorian Guards is obvious to all, and once the battle is engaged, the Golden Guards can defeat the Praetorian Guards? Moreover, the Praetorian Guards saved Jin Wuwei, and emotionally, Jin Wuwei was grateful to the Praetorian Guards, which gave him the upper hand.

Looking at the ugly faces of the generals, Wei Yanqing felt very uncomfortable. Shen Zejing helped Jin Wuwei to destroy Long Youwei and solve the crisis of Jingzhao, this move was too good, so that Jin Wuwei is now in a dilemma.

Just when Wei Yanqing was thinking about this, the official office of the military department hurriedly walked in a few soldiers, who were guarding the Jingzhao city wall, and there was an urgent military situation to report to Wei Yanqing.

"What?! The Praetorian Guards retreated overnight?! After listening to the soldier's report, Wei Yanqing couldn't help but be surprised and asked this sentence.

"Yes, since the end of the day, there has been a fire in the tent of the Praetorian Guard, and the subordinates thought that the Praetorian Guard was attacking at night and was preparing to sound the horn. But I found that the light of the fire kept moving backwards......"

The soldier's voice was a little hurried and very startled. When they saw this scene on the city walls, they couldn't believe it.

The Praetorian Guards will retreat overnight?! So they came from Lingnan Dao really just to solve the danger of Jingzhao? So what about the previous stationing outside the city?

Wei Yanqing was thinking about it at the moment. What Shen Zejing said in the camp tent clearly said that something would happen in Jingzhao, and the Praetorian Guards would also enter Jingzhao, so why did they retreat overnight?

"Let's go! Go to the city walls now! Wei Yanqing didn't have time to think about it, said this to Zheng Diheng, and immediately strode towards the outside of the gate.

It wasn't until he stood on the city wall and watched the fading fire that he confirmed that the soldier's report was true.

Coming suddenly, and retreating suddenly, what were Shen Zejing and the Praetorian Guards thinking?

Wei Yanqing also thought that there would be a battle to the death between Jin Wuwei and the Praetorian Guard. Who knew that before the war started, Shen Zejing retreated, what the hell is going on?

Looking at the winding fire snake, Wei Yanqing had no intention of pursuing it with Jin Wuwei at all. The Praetorian Guards retreated suddenly, and there would not be any preparations for the palace, and if the Jin Wuwei rashly attacked, there would definitely be heavy losses.

Besides, now that the crisis in Jingzhao has been resolved, peace can be restored to the court, and the people will not have anything to lose. Jiang Bowen has been destroyed, Jingzhao has been defended, and this result is the best Wei Yanqing can imagine.

The firelight on the city wall illuminated the puzzled expressions of Wei Yanqing and Zheng Diheng clearly.

Early the next morning, Wei Yanqing rode out of the city gate and saw that the place where the Praetorian Guards were originally stationed was empty. There were only traces of encampment on the ground, and there was not a trace of the soldiers, weapons, food and grass of the Praetorian Guard.

Retreat cleanly.

Just fought for the Praetorian Guards to retreat so cleanly, Wei Yanqing knew that the Praetorian Guards were strict in discipline and strict in generals, and the retreat must have been arranged and prepared, but fortunately they did not pursue them overnight.

Immediately, Wei Yanqing told the news of the retreat of the Praetorian Guards to the queen mother in the palace, and of course also told Zuo Liangzhe, the minister of Tuogu.

Shen Zejing retreated overnight with the Praetorian Guards, which made Zuo and Zuo Liangzhe overjoyed. Like Wei Yanqing, they all felt that Jin Wuwei and the Praetorian Guard would have a battle to the death, and they were not sure what would happen to Jingzhao at that time.

But the development of things is not the same thing at all, Shen Zejing and the Praetorian Guards actually retreated? It's unbelievable!

Of course, it is best for the Praetorian Guard to retreat, there is no need to start a war again, and the court of Dayong is no different from the past, so she, the Empress Dowager of Dayong, can of course keep all her power.

This is the reason why Zuo and Zuo Liangzhe rejoice. After the joy, Zuo's and Zuo Liangzhe's thoughts also increased, and Zuo's even scolded Wei Yanqing with a solemn face, very dissatisfied with him.

"General, the rebels retreated overnight, which can be seen in haste. Why didn't Jin Wuwei pursue it? Why don't you kill the Praetorian Guard? ”

If Jin Wuwei pursued overnight, he might be able to inflict a heavy blow on the Praetorian Guards in the back and cause the Praetorian Guards to suffer heavy losses. How did Wei Yanqing, the general, become a general? The situation will not be judged at all!

Zuo's accusation made Wei Yanqing speechless for a while. Not to mention how brave the Praetorian Guards were, let's just say that the Praetorian Guards came to relieve the danger of Jingzhao and saved the lives of the Jinwu Guards and the people, which made it difficult for Wei Yanqing to give an order.

Doesn't the Queen Mother know that the teacher is nameless and can't win the battle? Even if the imperial court thinks that the Praetorian Guard is a rebel and a traitor, at this moment, Jin Wuwei cannot send troops to pursue!

Wei Yanqing refused to turn his back on Dayong, and he had benevolence, righteousness and clarity in his heart, so he would never pursue the Praetorian Guard.

"Please forgive the Queen Mother." In the end, Wei Yanqing only said this lightly, bowing his head and pleading.

His appearance made Zuo angry with nothing to do. Wei Yanqing commanded Jin Wuwei, at this time, the protection of Jingzhao could only rely on Wei Yanqing and Jin Wuwei, how could the Zuo clan ask Wei Yanqing to blame?

"Well, stand down. Military affairs must also be reported to the ministers and courtiers to discuss ......"

In the end, the Zuo family could only let Wei Yanqing retreat. Thinking of the situation between Kyung Zhao and Daeyong, the joy in her heart faded instantly.

Shen Zejing retreated, Jingzhao defended, but the rest of Dayong's other provinces, what should I do?

Zuo Liangzhe and Wei Yanqing obviously also thought about what they were going to do after that, and they also felt a headache.

It's devastating, it's really hard to treat.

The Praetorian Guards, who had retreated from Jingzhao, had already crossed the Qinling Mountains and hurried towards Hanoi Province. Since the dawn of last night, they have marched all the way without resting in between.

Finally, when it was twilight, Shen Zejing ordered the tired Praetorian Guards to bury the pot and cook and rest for the time being.

"How could Yuan Huan be so careless and fall into ambush? I don't know if we can support us if we can retreat. ”

In the temporary tent, Shen Zejing, Yu Zhengdao, Shen Zesi and others were worried about the situation in Hanoi Province.

Last night, an urgent letter for help from Ying Nantu was sent to Shen Zejing's hands, saying that the left army of Shence was ambushed, and Yuan Huan was seriously injured.

Shen Zejing, who received the letter, immediately gave an order to retreat after exchanging views with Yu Zhengdao and Shen Zesi, and ordered the Praetorian Guards to immediately gallop to Hanoi Province to save the left army.

The situation in Hanoi Province is what the Shen family is most concerned about at present, Yuan Huan, Ying Nantu, and Shen Yule are all in Hanoi Province, and Shen Zejing must go to help these people.

This is the reason for the retreat of the Praetorian Guards from Jingzhao.

"It's just a pity, the Praetorian Guards have already arrived in Jingzhao, and they are about to attack the city." Shen Zesi felt a little regretful.

The gratitude of Jin Wuwei and the people of Jingzhao was a sharp weapon for the Praetorian Guard to attack the city. After defeating Jiang Bowen's Longyouwei, it was a godsend for the Praetorian Guards to enter the city, and if they missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for the Praetorian Guards to break through Jingzhao in the future.

"The capture of Jingzhao will definitely be a battle to the death, and no one can predict how long it will take. If Hanoi is uneven and the left army of Shence is destroyed, then even if Jingzhao is occupied, it will be useless. ”

Yu Zhengdao shook his beard and said. In such a situation, of course, the Shen family wanted to keep the Shence Left Army and Hanoi Dao, and Jingzhao could only give up.

Although they felt sorry, the Shen family did not suffer much loss from the evacuation of Jingzhao. The kindness of saving Jin Wuwei and the people of Jingzhao will always be useful.

"Since ancient times, the way of power and conspiracy, the first thing to seek will not be the imperial capital. After the collection of the provinces, why worry about Jingzhao? Yu Zhengdao added.

Shen Zesi nodded, and the regret in his heart dissipated slightly. He was also in favor of retiring from the army, but he sighed when he thought that he was getting farther and farther away from Jingzhao.

Shen Zejing was worried about the situation in Hanoi Province and did not speak. Thinking that Yuan Huan and Ying Nantu might be in danger of dying, he felt a palpitation.

In order to cover the right army of Shence who was secretly marching against Jingzhao, and in order to attract the attention of Jiang Bowen and Jingzhao, Ying Nantu and their march were hidden at all, and even deliberately swaggered, so that everyone knew that they were heading to Hanoi.

In this way, the marching route must be exposed. Haoqiang, who was divided in Hanoi, of course, also knew the movements of the left army of Shence.

The turmoil in Hanoi Province, starting from Taizhou, spread throughout Hanoi Province with a sweeping momentum. There are many counties in Hanoi, with nearly 1.5 million people, and these have been divided among the powerful people in various places, forming several powerful forces.

When they were in Lingnan Province, Yu Zhengdao, Yuan Huan and others received news that these powerful people took advantage of the chaos to compete for territory and power, and the disputes between them have never been broken.

Such a strong force is mostly a rabble. It would not take much effort for a regular army like the Left Army of Shence to go forward and destroy these heroes by adopting various methods of defeat.

But things turned out beyond their expectations. These heroes fought with each other in private, but when dealing with the left army of Shence, they actually joined forces in twos and threes, forming three huge forces, and Yuan Huan and Ying Nantu were ambushed when they entered Hanoi Province.

In response to Nantu's urgent letter, he only explained here, and Shen Zejing still didn't know the more detailed situation, all he could do was to take the 100,000 Shence Right Army and the rest of the Tiger Ben Army and rush to Hanoi Road at the fastest speed.

At this time, it was already the end of December, and the first year of Jingxing passed quickly. Shen Zejing led the Praetorian Guards and galloped in the direction of Hanoi Road, he was worried and anxious, and he didn't feel any New Year's atmosphere at all.

Lingnan Road, however, is different. It and Xining Dao, when Dayong is in turmoil, can still keep the last peace, and of course the people will celebrate the New Year.

Is the new year coming? rs
