Chapter 393: Successful Rescue
Zhao Ting's result scroll unfolded, and on it was the deployment map of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Jinyang city defense map, which was more detailed and accurate than the one detected by the red kite.
Yun Moxi glanced at him, this Xiao Xuan was really ruthless.
"Where's Lemon? The mourning family wants to take her away. He asked, looking at the drawings they had made.
"Queen Mother!" A voice came.
Xiao Xuan looked at it, and a person came out from behind the tree not far away.
"Lemon!" Xiao Xuan called, looking at the person in front of him incredulously.
Is this your own daughter? It's become like this.
"Lemon!" She walked forward, a little excited and a little sad, "How did you become like this?" Did Yun Moxi make you suffer? ”
He turned around and glared at Yun Moxi viciously.
"Is the queen mother going to abandon the Northern Han Dynasty? However, the two countries of Han and Liao have been allied for decades, and the queen mother will not put His Majesty to death by doing this. Yelumeng looked at her queen mother with despair and disbelief in her eyes.
Yun Moxi took her to wait for the envoys of the Liao State, Yelumeng didn't want others to see her current appearance, so she hid behind a tree.
But just now I heard that the queen mother didn't care about her life and death, and betrayed the person she loved deeply, and her heart suddenly twisted like a knife.
Although I always knew that you were a princess and had responsibilities and couldn't choose the life you wanted, at least the queen mother's love for her was true - never doubted.
To this day, I finally know that in the heart of the queen mother, I am nothing, maybe just a chess piece, dispensable.
"Meng'er, you go back to Daliao with your mother to take care of your body. Look at what you look like now, where is there still the queen of a country, the princess of Da Liao? Xiao Xuan had calmed down at this moment and reprimanded softly.
"What it looks like now? Isn't the way I am now also caused by the queen mother? At the beginning, he forced me to marry into the Northern Han Dynasty, but now he wants me to give up my husband. The queen mother has thought about it, and I also have feelings...... I love that he has made this place his home. And now you want me to abandon my home? Jerulemon cried out in pain.
"What can you do if you love him, does he love you?" Xiao Xuan sneered, and pointed at Yun Moxi mercilessly, "He humiliated you for this woman." For the sake of this woman, he doesn't even want the country, how can he want you? ”
Touching his chest, "Meng'er, the queen mother is doing this for you." You can go back to Daliao and continue to be your princess, and the queen mother of glory and wealth can give it to you, why wait for a man who will never be able to look at you more. Everything the Queen Mother does is to avenge you! ”
Yelumeng laughed stupidly with tears, "I can't go back!" When I was thrown into the Northern Han Dynasty as a pawn, my fate was doomed. There's no going back! I was his queen in life and his wife in death. ”
"Lemon!" Xiao Xuan wanted to step forward and pull her.
Jerulemon strode back, smiled sadly, turned and galloped away.
"Meng'er......" Xiao Xuan shouted.
Turning to the guards, he shouted, "What are you still standing?" Go and get the princess back. ”
"Since she doesn't want to go back with you, why force it!" Yun Moxi said.
Glaring at her, Xiao Sui thought for a while, "That's it!" At the moment, she is reluctant to leave, and when she has nowhere to go in the future, she will naturally go back. ”
She knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so she didn't want to dwell too much on Yelumeng.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and where can I still control Yelumeng.
With a wave of his hand, the guards holding Zhao Guangyi over there let go of their hands.
Zhao Guangyi hurriedly ran towards Zhao Ting, and was so panicked that he almost fell.
Zhao Ting rushed forward to support him, "Brother Huang is not injured, right?" ”
He shook his head with an embarrassed face, "Fourth brother, it's a good thing you came." Otherwise, I ...... I ......" choked up and didn't speak.
"The royal brother suffers, and the younger brother will escort away."
Over there, Xiao Xuan looked at Zhao Guangyi's pustules, and his eyes were full of disdain.
If there is such an emperor in the Great Song Dynasty, there will not be much threat to the Great Liao in the future.
With a cold smile, he turned around proudly and got into the carriage, and the guards escorted him away.
Yun Moxi sent someone to look for Yelumeng, but he couldn't find it around, thinking that he must be going to the direction of the palace, and no one would hurt him if he was in the Northern Han Dynasty, so he went with her.
escorted Zhao Guangyi back to the camp, he didn't talk much along the way, he felt depressed and embarrassed after such a defeat, and he was embarrassed by so many people, so he was always stupid.
Zhao Ting looked at him sitting blankly, "Is there any injury to the imperial brother?" ”
Zhao Guangyi looked up in a trance, "No...... Nope!"
"In case the news leaks, we have to set off as soon as possible, and the younger brother has ordered Pan Mei to lead a large army to wait in the border city to intercept the pursuing soldiers to meet the imperial brother."
"How can I explain to the courtiers when I go back like this? 200,000 troops...... That's gone? "Zhao Guangyi was saddened not by the loss of the army, but by the emperor's face.
"Brother Huang doesn't have to worry too much, only a few important ministers know about this matter. The news of the disappearance of the imperial brother was not announced to the outside world, only that for strategic considerations, he temporarily retreated to the border city and waited for the opportunity to attack. Zhao Ting comforted.
"Good...... Good...... That's all it is good for. His face was soothed.
"As for the army led by the imperial brother, most of the casualties were not wiped out. The Liao State did not really help the Northern Han, so it did not kill them all. Half of the people fled to China, and they happened to be absorbed by Pan Mei in the border city, plus the men and horses he brought, and now the border city has reassembled 200,000 troops. ”
"Really? Is it true that there is no total annihilation? Zhao Guangyi's face was a little happy.
Zhao Ting nodded, less than half of the 200,000 people fled back to the border city.
Growing up in the military camp, thinking of more than 100,000 soldiers dying in this bitter cold northland, Zhao Ting was sad in his heart.
can see that Zhao Guangyi is sad, thinking that he is also sad and sad for the death of the soldiers like himself, so he deliberately said it lightly.
It's just that I didn't expect Zhao Guangyi to be sad about this, he was only sad about how to explain when he went back, and how not to hurt his face.
"So the younger brother wants to discuss with the imperial brother, whether to continue the Northern Expedition?"
"Still fighting?" With a frown in his heart, he still dared to fight there.
"The younger brother sent someone to escort the imperial brother back to Beijing first, and the younger brother led the army to attack Jinyang again. That Xiao Xuan has just signed an alliance with the imperial brother, and he will definitely not help the Northern Han Dynasty again, and at this time we have a troop deployment map. The Northern Han Dynasty had just won a big victory, and its defense was lax, and it must have been impossible to imagine that after the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty, it would dare to attack in a big way, and it was most appropriate to attack at this time. ”
"Do you really think you should attack again?"
"That Xiao Xuan is uncertain, and at this moment, the United Great Song should seize the opportunity. If she changes her mind again, once the Han and Liao are reunited, it will be even more difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to destroy the Northern Han in one fell swoop. What's more, our army has lost more than 100,000 people this time, and if there is no victory and returns to the court, the whole country will be disappointed, and if we think about the Northern Expedition again, we are afraid that it will be far away. ”
"It's all my carelessness."
"The royal brother doesn't have to blame himself, just leave this matter to the courtier. As a result, no one in the DPRK and China mentioned the defeat again. Whether you win or lose, everything is borne by your subordinates. ”
Zhao Guangyi held his hand excitedly and sighed: "You think so much about me, let me really ...... Ashamed. ”
