When the fleet returned to the Yellow River, the battle on the flagship also came to an end.

Only Fulang fell in a pool of blood - after all, two fists were invincible to four hands, and Shi Chong forced him to axe, Zhang Heng rose up, and cut off his head with a knife.

When crossing the river in a moment, when it was about to enter the Bianhe River, Wen Ren Shichong personally took the helm, and the flagship deliberately pulled at the end, and then saw a sampan drilled out of the reeds next to him.

Zhang Heng, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng jumped up, jumped onto the sampan, and turned around to hug their fists in unison.

Hearing that the world worships Hu Jing and Hu Xian, they also hugged their fists in return, and saw several sailors on the sampan pulling the oars and going down the turbid waves.

Looking at them far away, Wen Shichong laughed and said: "Sons, don't remember the mistakes, Deputy Zhang led the bloody battle of the Liao generals, and they all died together, and the deputy general Tong Wei Tong Meng, after breaking off the army, died heroically." ”

The sailors on this ship are all from the old department, and they should be.

The fleet entered Bianliang, and the people heard the great victory, and the whole city cheered, and they all brought sheep and wine, and came to work the army.

Zhao Guan's family received good news, and they were also ecstatic, and they were busy announcing that Wen Shichong had entered the palace to meet him, and heard about him in person.

Hearing that the world was half-true and half-false, the official praised it, rewarded a lot of gold and silver brocades, and made Tong Guan a good one.

When he left the palace, Tong Guan took Wenren to his house as a guest, and when he learned that Zhang Heng had died, he was overjoyed and encouraged, and he also gave a lot of property.

and returned to the camp, hearing that the people would receive the rewards, all the rewards were distributed to the soldiers under his command, and the sailors were thunderous with joy.

The next day, the Yellow River sailor invited him to fight again, but Tong Guan refused: "His boat has been burned left and right, can he fly over?" Although you have some attainments in water warfare, if you go ashore recklessly, you will have setbacks. ”

After hearing Shichong's inquiry, he realized that this was the meaning of the palace.

But when the official family saw that the sailor was so capable of fighting, he remembered the embarrassment of wanting to escape but didn't dare to do so, and a thought suddenly came to his heart-

In case the Liao people were powerful, wouldn't they just take the naval division's warship and escape?

This thought was born, and naturally the sailor was not allowed to fight easily, lest there be a case that would ruin this good retreat.

Not to mention those in high positions, their vision is comparable to that of ordinary people, Zhao Guan's family is in peace, and he really expects it in one fell swoop:

However, after three days of hard work, the bad news came, but it was the Liao soldiers who cut down countless trees in Taihang Mountain, and entered the Yellow River along the Qinshui, and built a three-hundred-zhang pontoon bridge in one day and night! The general Wu Yanguang led 50,000 troops, and in one fell swoop broke through Xifu Zhengzhou, and the defending general Hu Shiwen did not fire a single arrow, and the whole army surrendered.

For a time, the Son of Heaven was shocked, and the officials were terrified.

Young Master Wang Hao immediately went out of class, pointing at Cai Jing, saying that his use of nepotism, child's play on state affairs, and his in-laws' henchmen Hu Shiwen and Song Qiaonian had no generals, but they were used to guard the four auxiliary important places, so they had today's loss.

The four auxiliaries, Shan, Zheng, Cao, and Gong, were built by Cai Jing a few years ago in order to seize military power and move Zhao Guan's family.

The evidence of this incident was conclusive, and Cai Jing was in a hurry and could not shirk the blame, so he had to go to work to ask for the guilt, and was scolded by the official family, which made him think about it behind closed doors.

Wang Hao also offered advice: "Now those who can protect the Beijing teacher are only Tong Shuai." ”

The official nodded again and again, got up in person, took Tong Guan's hand, and wept: "Lao Qing's family, state affairs are like this, but you are fighting to save the tide." ”

Tong Guan had no choice but to respond, so he counted more soldiers and horses, a total of more than 40,000 people, and ordered him to go to the city to guard, close the gates, and wait for help.

The official family was afraid that the Jinmingchi Sailor outside the city would be attacked by the Liao, so they ordered large and small ships to enter the city from the West Water Gate and moored on the edge of the Bianhe River and Yujie in the city.

At night, the official family hid from the people, quietly took Fan Meiren, came to the flagship of the sailor, and stayed there.

He made up his mind that once the city defense was lost, he would follow the sailor out of the East Water Gate to find the sky.

The next day, Wu Yanguang led the Liao soldiers to the west of the city, in the city of Bianjing, three times a day.

Since Tong Guan invaded Liao, he has been defeated in a row, and the fierce generals under his command have either died in battle or disappeared, and there are few people available.

In addition, most of the soldiers and horses in the current department are used to slacking off in Bianliang, so they are more and more confident.

After thinking about it, I decided to send someone to urge the Jin soldiers to march and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, wouldn't it be happy?

And so far they don't know that the Planter Dao has never let the gold people enter the customs, but only led the troops back to help.

Then he sought the official's house to ask for the holy decree, ordered Meng to hide Yao Xing's meat, and ordered Gao Shixuan to lead 500 elite horsemen to escort Yao Xing to break through.

In the early morning of the next day, Wansheng opened the door, and Gao Shixuan took the lead and led the Biao Jing to ride out.

When Wu Yanguang heard the report, he asked about the number of people, and laughed: "Dashi Linya is really clever, I expect them to go to Shanxi to ask for help, and watch a show with him." ”

Immediately ordered Yelu Derong and Yelu Dezhong to lead 10,000 soldiers to kill and intercept the Song army to fight: "Don't let him see that you release water, and don't let him really die." ”

When Tong Guan, Tan Zhi and others heard about it, they all went to the city to watch the battle.

Zhao Guan's family wanted to come to watch the battle, but they felt frightened, so they announced that the prince Zhao Huan came to watch the battle on his behalf, and asked the prince to watch the battle on his behalf, so that he could tell the details when he came back.

Zhao Huan heard that his legs and feet were crisp, so he got off the boat and moved away, and he never took ten steps for a long time.

At this time, a young prince walked through the royal street, saw his eldest brother with blue lips and white lips, and walked like a puppet, and asked curiously: "Is the eldest brother sick?" ”

Zhao Huan said with a bitter face: "No, it's just because my father ordered me to go to the city to plunder the battle, thinking of the fierceness of the Liao people, so I was late." ”

The young prince laughed and said: "The Liao people are now the dogs who have lost their families, and if they are brave, they have little strength left, and besides, the city wall is high, can he fly up?" Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the younger brother will go with you. ”

After that, get off the horse, kiss and kiss, and help Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan said in surprise: "The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, but the ninth brother is not afraid?" ”

The prince patted his chest and said, "If my father is willing to allow me to join the army, I will kill them together today, they are all ordinary fathers and mothers, why am I afraid of him, he can't be afraid of me?" ”

Zhao Huan was amazed when he heard this: "Ninth brother, for the sake of your brother, there is really a legacy of Taizu and Taizong!" ”

After that, he looked left and right, and laughed in a low voice: "If he is in power as a brother, he will definitely make you a general!" ”

The prince laughed and said, "The eldest brother is the prince, and he speaks like a mountain, but he must not deceive the younger brother." ”

Zhao Huan smiled: "There will be no jokes!" ”

Zhao Huan is now twenty-one years old, after all, he is a young man, and he laughed with his younger brother, and his tension was greatly relieved.

As for the ninth brother in his mouth, he is the ninth son of the current official family, surnamed Zhao Minggou.

Although Zhao Gou is only fourteen years old now, he is already quite tall, not inferior to his eldest brother, if he is brave, he will not lose any generals, and he is good at dancing with guns and sticks on weekdays, and sometimes he brings bows and arrows out of the city, how not to shoot twenty or thirty insects and ants.

The two brothers went up to the city wall, but when they saw that the killing was fierce outside, Gao Shixuan was worthy of being a tiger general, holding a Xuanhua axe, fighting in front, and the Liao army encountered, one by one, was chopped off his horse by him.

Zhao Gou saw his bravery, his heart was happy, and he pointed and said: "Big brother, look, that one who makes the axe is so powerful!" ”

Liu Guangshi looked at the clothes of the two of them, and knew that it was the prince, so he hurriedly took a few steps closer, and said with a smile and flattery: "The two highnesses have good eyesight!" That person is the brave general under the command of the last general, called Gao Shixuan, this person's ability ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Gou turn his head to look at him, his face full of surprise: "Strange, why is Yong under the command of the last general?" Isn't it upside down? ”

Liu Guangshi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "Hehe, Your Highness, what does the last general mean......"

Zhao Gou laughed, shook his head and said, "It's just teasing, you don't know that the last general is humble?" ”

Liu Guangshi was stunned again, and said with a smile: "But the last general doesn't know how to be funny, the prince forgives me......"

Zhao Gou waved his hand and interrupted him: "The general doesn't have to be polite! The generals are so brave, you are naturally more capable, Xiao Wang is also a good martial artist, I will have to consult with the general more in the future, I don't know who the general's surname is? ”

Zhao Gou has the title of King of Guangping County, so he calls himself Xiao Wang.

Liu Guangshi was overjoyed and hurriedly reported his name and official position.

Liu Yanqing saw that his son and the prince were talking happily, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

Liu Guangshi had the intention to befriend Zhao Gou, so he couldn't help but show off his skills, pointing to the war group outside the city: "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Western Army, if you talk about the axe, there are only four people." ”

Zhao Gou was really interested: "Oh? I don't know which four of them? ”

Liu Guangshi said: "It's the four people of Quji Wanggao!" The first one is a bend of the old breed, and the second one is Jijing, known as the 'Hedong Axe Demon', and it is also an amazing moral ability, but it is a pity that we fought in Hebei in the blood before and died in the king's affairs. The third 'Yaksha' Wang De was a subordinate of the last general, and when he was in the south to conquer Fangla...... Hey, unfortunately died in battle, and the fourth is Gao Shixuan, who is called 'Bloody Hand'. ”

He only cared about boasting, secretly exalted himself, and almost said that Wang De "made countless meritorious contributions to the southern expedition to Fangla", and the words reached the tip of his tongue, and he suddenly remembered that those credits had already been laughed at by himself, and hurriedly swallowed it back.

Fortunately, Zhao Gou didn't pay attention, and only sighed: "The four axes of the Western Army have been broken twice, it's a pity!" This bloody hand, but don't let him be in danger, General Liu, I see that the enemy is outnumbered, why don't you lead the men and horses to meet him? ”

Liu Guangshi said "ahhhh

Tong Guan was expressionless on the side, and laughed secretly in his stomach: This little slippery head, in front of the old man, pleases the prince, but what is he going to do?

didn't say a word at the moment, and had no thought of relieving him.

Tong Guan can ignore it, but Liu Yanqing can't sit idly by, glared at his son, and stepped forward and said: "What the Nine Emperors said is right, Gao Shixuan went to war, originally to send a messenger to break through, I am in a hurry to rescue the soldiers here, the Liao soldiers thought that they were going to fight a decisive battle, but they made a mistake, and when he returned, Guangshi and I naturally had to respond." ”

Liu Guangshi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, you have to wait for him to return before you can respond, otherwise I am afraid that I will miss a big event." ”

When Zhao Gou heard this, he was reasonable: "I see. Only then did I watch the game with peace of mind.

At this time, the situation outside the city changed again, and the five hundred Song army elite cavalry, Yao Xing, who had fallen more than halfway and had been wrapped in the middle, suddenly exerted his strength.

But seeing that he had two knives in his back, a spear in his hand, and a horse protruding, he picked twenty or thirty people in a row, smashed away the chaotic army, and looked northwest.

Tong Guan saw it clearly, hammered the battlements heavily, and shouted: "Good! It's really a certain love general! ”

When the Liao soldiers saw Yao Xing and wanted to chase after him, Gao Shixuan suddenly spread the soldiers and horses horizontally, entangled and killed, Zhao Gou was shocked, and said continuously: "Is it time to answer?" Hurry up and answer it! ”

Liu Yanqing glared at his son again, and shouted helplessly: "Come on, go and order 3,000 soldiers and horses, and follow my father and son to pick up General Gao." ”

Before the words fell, the two imperial nephews of Liao, Yelu Derong and Yelu Dezhong, both killed, one made Qingying Treasure Spear, the other made Fang Tian draw a halberd, and fought Gao Shixuan.

Gao Shixuan fought hard all the way, he was already exhausted, and he was entangled by these two, where did he get it?

Seeing that the soldiers and horses under his command continued to wither, in a hurry, the axe law was chaotic, Yelu Dezhong looked for a flaw, handed out the halberd, and pressed his axe, Yelu Derong took the opportunity to shoot Gao Shixuan off the horse.

Above the city, Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou exclaimed in unison, but Liu Guangshi exhaled a long breath - this person is dead, although it is a pity to have fewer fierce generals, but there is no need to go out of the city, after all, I still feel that it is cost-effective.

Yao Xing didn't know that Gao Shixuan couldn't return alive, so he just ran away from his horse and rushed all the way to the Yellow River, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then go up along the river, rushed to Zhengzhou, was about to look for a boat to cross the river, suddenly saw that the river is narrow, the pontoon bridge built by the Liao army is vivid, dive close to see, only more than 100 Liao soldiers guard the bridge, can not help but be overjoyed, drive horses and spears to rush forward, kill all the guards, cross the bridge and go to Shanxi.

There is a saying: You can stop me from appearing, and I will show my genius and kill busy. 50,000 Liao troops are under the city, where are the rest of the people?
