There were generally no miracles in the Great Song Dynasty......

Unless it's a miracle to refresh the lower limit.

The same is true for the next battle in Xuyi City!

Although Fu Xuan and Liu Gang, and even they met with Liu Wei immediately afterward, there was another commander Fu Liang who also hadn't escaped yet, this was promoted by Song Huan, in short, Fu Xuan and the others hurried to the pacification envoy located in Qi Dashan, but at this time it was already too late, and the headless generals and officials in the city all knew the news of Zhao Mingcheng's escape.

Morale collapsed instantly.

Zhao Mingcheng's role is actually to deceive people, deceiving the defenders here to defend when necessary.

Because the image created by the great painter for him is Zhang Xun Xu Yuan of the Great Song Dynasty, this is also the reason why the great painter desperately made up a story of a year of bloody war for them, that is, to use the Battle of Jinan to create an image, an image that can resist Wang Yue, so that these generals and soldiers believe that Wang Yue can be defeated. Although the true news of the Battle of Jinan continues to come from the north, as long as they are always determined that they will destroy 100,000 enemies, then the vast majority of people will eventually believe their story.

Then they believe that they can win the victory.

Believe they can hold on.

In this way, first of all, the morale of the army is stabilized, at least there will not be a one-touch collapse.

This is a clever move......

If Zhao Mingcheng didn't abandon the city and fled, or even if he didn't abandon the city and flee so quickly, then these generals and officials in Xuyi City, who were just suddenly stunned, would finally be able to quickly stabilize and hold on to it with the special terrain here and the perfect defense system.

They can do it.

The conditions here in Xuyi are too good.

The loss of the city gate is not terrible, because the west gate is the first mountain, and the attackers must attack the top of the mountain, otherwise they can do nothing, and the counterweight trebuchet on the top of the mountain can condescendingly smash the entire city gate together with the victorious army that occupies it, and even throw fifty pounds of stone projectiles directly on the Huai River. And even if the victorious army captures the first mountain, it is useless, because starting from Xiangshan, a series of mountains is like a city wall more than 100 meters high, running through the entire Xuyi City from north to south, and only a few mountain passes in the middle can be passed, and if these mountains are not defeated, it is still impossible to control Xuyi City.

This is a three-tier line of defense.

The 30,000 defenders armed with counterweight trebuchets, manpower trebuchets, bowl-mouth guns, three-eyed guns, rockets, and countless other weapons were 100 percent armored, and there was even a small number of imitation cuirasses.

Yang Zaixing was actually ready to open Xuyi with at least 5,000 casualties.

However......

Zhao Mingcheng's escape brought it all to an end.

The officials and generals in the city immediately understood that they had actually been deceived, this guy was not Zhang Xun Xu Yuan at all, and it was true that Jinan was not fought at all, there was no bloody battle at all, and there was no such thing as a world-famous general Qi Guogong, this is a waste who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

Angry, panicked, and with their faith shattered, of course they had no other choice.

Let's run!

Officials and generals are on the run.

The soldiers are defecting.

The main force of the follow-up Changsheng army has not yet crossed the Huai River, and the city of Xuyi is already like Nanjing City at a certain time, and then Fu Xuan and the others can only curse Zhao Mingcheng to join the ranks of escape.

The Huai River defense line was opened.

Zhenjiang.

"Why did he run away?"

The great painter said sadly.

It's already the evening of the same day, and it's half a day away from the expedited report.

Chen Yu, who was sitting in the sky, knew the news of Xuyi's loss when he had breakfast, but this news was too unbelievable, and he didn't dare to believe that Xuyi would lose in such a short time, so he deliberately investigated it again, and finally confirmed it near noon......

Zhao Mingcheng has already gone to Tongcheng, and he is still investigating a fart!

sat in a sedan chair for more than three hours and ran eighty miles, Qi Guogong is also very fast!

In fact, the great painter really didn't expect Zhao Mingcheng to be so useless, originally he still had certain expectations for Zhao Mingcheng, he felt that since Zhao Mingcheng dared to block Wang Yue, he still had a certain amount of courage.

It is already very brave to be able to resist Wang Yue.

It's true.

When the north is full of horses, there can be such a group of people standing up, no matter what the result is, their courage is worthy of recognition, so in the eyes of the great painter, even if Zhao Mingcheng's ability is limited, he can still do it without running away after all, and as long as Xuyi does not run away, it is equivalent to holding on to half of it. However, he didn't expect that Zhao Mingcheng not only escaped, but also escaped so exaggeratedly, the three lines of defense had just been opened, and even before the war started, Zhao Mingcheng had already fled.

You're a tricker!

"Back to the official's house, Jiangnan doesn't have his field after all, his family's field is in Mizhou, as soon as Jinan is lost, his family's field can't be saved, so he can still hold on to it, but Jiangnan doesn't have his field, just to save his life."

Gao Yu said cautiously.

Originally, he should have died of illness at this time in history, but that was because he tore his face with Tong Taishi when he fled south with the great painter, and he trembled after going back, so he died of illness, of course, he may simply be killed by illness, this possibility is actually the greatest, but this time he is alive and well now, and he is also the second henchman under the current great painter, second only to the number one henchman Cai You.

"Where have you read all these sage books, why are you so greedy for life and afraid of death, why do you only think about yourself, you have forgotten the four words of public loyalty, body and country, pass the decree to Chen Yu, let Zhao Mingcheng judge himself!"

The great painter sighed.

"Official, the ancestral system of the Great Song Dynasty does not kill scholars."

Cai You reminded him.

"At this time, what kind of ancestral system are you still sticking to?"

The great painter said angrily.

"The official family, the more this time, the more you have to abide by the ancestral system, it is not a pity for a Zhao Mingcheng to die, but it is a big deal to lose the heart of Wenchen."

Cai You said.

The great painter hesitated......

"Exile Changhua Army Placement!"

He said hatefully.

"Official Shengming!"

Cai You said.

The unlucky Zhao Mingcheng was thrown to Hainan Island in this way, but it is still difficult to say whether he will have a chance to get there.

"Official, you should also be fortunate in Hangzhou."

Then Cai You said.

"Liu Yanqing has not already crossed the river and gone north, with him going north with the cavalry to counterattack, it should be able to stop the thieves, not to mention that we still have the mighty Yangtze River in front of us, and at this time, the official family moves, which is easy to cause instability in the army."

Gao Yu said.

Of course, he didn't dare to say that while you escaped and exiled Zhao Mingcheng from the battle, you also ran away here when the enemy was still separated by three hundred miles and a Yangtze River, isn't it a bit of a slap in the face, so that you can also hold on, so that the army in the north has a little confidence. Even if the enemy army reaches the Yangtze River and then escapes, it is too late, it is winter at this time, the Yangzhou section has been frozen, and there are no boats available on the north bank, even if the enemy army reaches the Yangtze River, it will not be able to collect boats to cross the river in a short time.

What's more, there is a 20,000-strong sailor on the Yangtze River!

Run away at this time, how do you let the people below look at you!

Especially at this time, Liu Yanqing has gone north, although Xuyi is lost, but the real main force of the field is in Tianchang, and there are still many troops in the Haozhou area, Liu Yanqing personally led the army to the north to counterattack Xuyi, this battle may not be lost, at this time, as soon as he escaped, the morale of the front line was discharged, and he was defeated if he was not defeated.

"Then don't tell the Jiangbei armies."

The great painter waved his hand and said wisely.

"Well, the official Shengming, but in the opinion of the minister, it may not be safe to go to Hangzhou, the water division in the hands of the traitor is not weaker than the imperial court, in case he goes south with the water division, it will be troublesome, at this time the safest thing is to go to Chengdu, and the danger of the Three Gorges Sword Pavilion in Shu is enough to protect everything."

Gao Yu said.

"Chengdu is too far away, how can you get there after thousands of miles?"

Cai You said.

"Walking by water is nothing, Hangzhou is really not a good place."

Gao Yu said sincerely.

Of course Cai You wants to go to Hangzhou, then Hangzhou City is almost their Cai family, although Cai Jing and the other brothers are dead, but the Cai family's clansmen are still entrenched in Hangzhou, plus the Zhu Mian family, the latter has actually already arranged the palace in Hangzhou, and the great painter also knows that sooner or later he has to go there. But now Hangzhou is really not a good place, Wang Yue has a strong sailor, in case of an expedition across the sea, it will be troublesome, and the people of Zhejiang have no good impression of the great painter.

The great painter hesitated.

He also knew that Wang Yue's sailor was actually quite powerful.

Regardless of the attack from the sea, Hangzhou is indeed a good place, but if it is considered at sea, then this place is indeed not safe.

Sichuan is more secure.

But the problem is that Sichuan is too far away, and Sichuan is not as rich as Jiangnan after all.

"Official, the sailor's business is easy to do, it's nothing more than to build more boats, we also have firearms, this Zhejiang sailor won't lose to the northerners if he really fights, right?"

Cai You said.

"Isn't Tang Dao going to lose?"

Gao Yu said.

Cai You was speechless for a while......

"Official, Xiangyang is in a hurry, Liu Jian led the army to capture Fangcheng, and there are both Changsheng army and 30,000 forbidden troops trained by Huanshu people, a total of no less than 50,000, and nearly 10,000 cavalry, Nie Chang and Li Gang invited the Sichuan Gorge soldiers to go out of Sichuan."

Tan Shu hurriedly walked over and said.

Of course, the Huanshu people are Zhao Huan, he has even been kicked out of the jade, not to mention the emperor, even the identity of the Zhao family is gone, he can only be Huanshu, Nie Chang and Li Gang are the deputy envoys of Jinghu Xuanfu, sitting in Xiangyang to preside over the defense of the western front. The core of them there is Tian Yougong's Tusi army, Tian Yougong let his younger brother Tian Youxiang, and his son Tian Ruduan lead 10,000 Sizhou troops to Xiangyang, but Nie Chang and others can't control Sichuan, which is under the jurisdiction of Feng Lu, the Xuanfu envoy of the Sichuan Gorge Fourth Road.

"Let's go to Hangzhou!"

The great painter said.

Now Gao Yu has nothing to say, from here to take a boat upstream, to Jiangling I'm afraid it will take two months, in case Liu Jian hits the Yangtze River during this period, it is just blocked, although it may be dangerous to go to Hangzhou, but compared with the danger of this, I am afraid that the latter is more likely.

"It's just this ...... secret"

He wanted to speak, but he stopped.

How can this tama be kept secret!
