Chapter 67: Chen Liu
At this moment, Bai Yan was less than ten miles away from Chen Liu, and through the reconnaissance of flying insects, Bai Yan knew that the team had entered Chen Liucheng under the leadership of Li Gang at this moment.
Chen Liucheng, at this moment, the general of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty is stationed here, the Seed Master Dao is more than sixty years old, a solid veteran, rich combat experience, but after all, there is a huge gap between the combat power of the Great Song Army and the Jin Army, and the Western Army is generally short of horses, so that although the Seed Master Dao saw that the Jin Army was besieging Bianjing, Chen Liu's distance from Bianjing was less than 100 miles, but he did not dare to act rashly.
100,000 Western Army military horses, most of them are infantry, if they go out of the city to fight, I am afraid that the last elite of the Great Song Dynasty will be buried here, so even if the official Zhao Heng at this time constantly ordered troops to relieve the siege, but the master withstood the pressure and waited for the opportunity. Moreover, not only the western army of the Seed Division, but also the armies of the king of Qinwang from other places are mostly stationed in the land of Gyeonggi at this moment. If Bianjing City can withstand it and consume the strength of the Jin army by relying on the thick walls of the city, then at this moment, the troops of King Qin from all over the country will be able to get the fighters to beat the water dogs.
This is also the original Li Gang strongly recommended to the emperor Zhao Ji retreat strategy, with the Great Song Dynasty hundred years of accumulation, although the soldiers besieged Bianjing Kaifeng, but whether it is the thickness of the city wall, the layout of troops, and the accumulation of materials in the city, the Jin army is good at field warfare, but not good at attacking the city, it is very likely to hit the head under Bianjing.
But who knew that Zhao Ji actually made a big stupid move, letting the Taoist priest cast a spell to retreat, not only lost the outer city, but also let the emperor Zhao Ji arrest the Jin army. The new official Zhao Heng is also a clueless, under the bewitchment of Tang Ge and Geng Nanzhong, the two surrender factions, they continue to send envoys to sue for peace, and the two of them have long seen that Li Gang, the main battle faction, is not pleasing to the eye, and Li Gang has become the ambassador of peace talks, if it were not for Bai Yan rushing into the Jin army camp, it is estimated that Li Gang and those hostages have become the soul of the sword.
Although Li Gang was a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he was already very disappointed in this team of father-son officials, but as a civil official, Li Gang still did his best to bring everyone to Chenliu and meet with Master Zong Zezong who was in Chenliu at the moment, as well as the general of the Seed Master Dao.
Zong Ze was originally the official of Kaifeng Mansion, and was sent by Zhao Heng to organize the Qinwang army in various places, Zong Ze has already worn out his tongue with the seed master here in Chenliu, but at this moment, the civil official is weak, and he can no longer command the Western Army.
When it was just dawn, news came from the city gate, saying that there were Great Song officials who had escaped from the Jin army camp.
After all, Li Gang is a squire in the military department, and he is also an old acquaintance with Zong Ze, and the two have the same political views, but they are also like-minded, after settling down with everyone, Li Gang told what he saw and heard in the Jin army camp in the county hall of Chen Liu, and Zong Ze and the old general.
During this period, Li Gang did not shy away from telling the truth about Bai Yan's battle and Bai Yan's last, leaving Emperor Zhao Ji in the Jin army camp, and Li Gang also wanted to see the attitude of the two.
The old general sat on the Taishi's chair and heard Li Gang relay the sentence in Baiyan, "The lord of a country, the lord of a country, can he be irresponsible if he makes a mistake?" In the originally cloudy and dim eyes, the essence was revealed, and he only said: "Young hero, you should see it." ”
Hearing the clear statement of the old general, Li Gang turned to Zong Ze and asked, "Brother Zong, what do you think?" ”
Zong Ze was already a forty or fifty-year-old half-old man, his face was deep, and he was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking and seemed to be entangled, but in the end, his face finally calmed down, and he said slowly: "Zhao Ziyan, you can settle down." ”
It's all in plain sight.
"Brother Zong, please rest assured, Lin Chong, sect leader, will not leave the left and right." Li Gang hugged his fist.
Zong Ze was a little worried: "It's just that there is still a King Kang, in the future, I'm afraid there will be changes." ”
"If there is a big change today, whoever can turn the tide will be the co-master of the world." The attitude of the old general is very clear.
"Report to the general, someone outside the city asked to see Master Li Gang, claiming to be Bai Yan and recognizing Lord Li Gang." Suddenly, a guard shouted outside the door.
"Brother Bai Yan, he really escaped, please, no, I'll go in person." Li Gang was overjoyed.
"Let's go, let's go, meet this young hero." Zong Ze and the seed master are on the same path.
Bai Yan stood at the gate of the city, watching the gate creak open, Li Gang came over with a happy face and hugged his fists to salute: "Brother Bai Yan, it's really you, the 100,000 Jin Army Battalion, you can retreat with your whole body, you are really a good man." ”
Bai Yan also returned the salute with a fist, looked at a purple-robed civil official beside Li Gang, and an old general in full armor and said, "Lord Li, we meet again, who are these two?" ”
"Zong Ze, Master Zong, the official of Kaifeng Mansion. There is also the chief general of my Great Song Western Army, the general of the Taoist species. Li Gang introduced with a smile.
Bai Yan was surprised, Zong Ze's name was louder than Li Gang in later generations, that was because he was left behind in Kaifeng later, Yue Fei was the general under him, and he advocated that Zhao Gou should also Kaifeng, but Zhao Gou ignored him, and when he was dying, he died three times "crossing the river", and was called Grandpa Zong.
The name of the seed master is not small, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be the only army that wants to look like it, and the seed master is the last generation of generals of the seed family.
"Master Zong, the old general, the two big names are like thunder, and they are polite." Bai Yan still has a good impression of loyal and good generals.
"Brother Bai Yanxian, save me in the army of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun, who is not weak in the ancients, admire it so much, please enter the city quickly." Zong Ze was also very affectionate with Bai Yan.
Bai Yan entered the Chenliu County Ya under the leadership of Zong Ze, and got the news that Bai Yan was out of trouble, and Li Shishi, Yan Qing, Lin Chong and Zhao Ziyan also rushed to see it for details.
In the evening, Bai Yan, Zong Ze, Li Gang and Seed Master Dao, everyone gathered together and began to discuss the strategy of retreating from the enemy.
"Today, the Jin army has 300,000 soldiers and horses, there are Jin Wushu Wanyan Zongbi in the south, and Wanyan Zonghan in the north, and most of them are cavalry, strong combat power, out of the city to fight, our army is not an opponent, and the strategy of the old general to defend the city is correct." As Bai Yan spoke, he began to activate the holographic projection of the Tianji system, clearly showing the geographical location around Bianjing City and the distribution of the Jin Army's military strength.
Zong Ze, Li Gang, and Seed Master Dao were dumbfounded.
"Brother Bai Yanxian, the Emperor Taishang said that you are an immortal, Mo Fei, you are really a heavenly immortal." Li Gang was a little hesitant.
"Master Li, this is called science, which means learning. I'm not a god, the sunset on this day, the alternation of the four seasons, the waxing and waning of the moon, and so on are all knowledge, and learning is science when studied thoroughly. What I have in my hand is not a book from heaven, but a piece of equipment based on science. Theoretically, like the armor of the soldiers, it is all man-made, but this one is a little more complicated. Bai Yan Fei Libara explained.
