Chapter 30: Woe (3)
"Liu Qing said in the military newspaper that Wang Quanbin is no longer in Shouzhou..."
The Imperial City of Jinling is still the Xingqing Palace full of calligraphy and paintings, but the dragon case is full of maps.
In the hall, there is still a group of Tang ministers with bitter faces and contemplation, the Song people have been going south for a while, everyone is unable to eat, can't sleep at night, thinking about the Song army's offensive route all day long, at this time of survival, even Li Xiang, who has always been in a good state of mind, is a little unable to stabilize his mind.
"Not in Suju, not in Luju, not in Gwangju... I also asked the Beifu army to attack Dengzhou... At the moment, there are only two places, Chuzhou and Haozhou..."
"Xu Xuan hurried to Chuzhou yesterday, Xu Shangshu looked at Bao Ying, if the Song people attack Chuzhou, they will definitely be able to last for a few days! There is no need to worry too much. ”
Han Xizai personally Xu Xuan left Jinling yesterday, and when he left, Haosheng told him to be optimistic about Bao Ying, and he was going to cut off his drink.
was still worried that Xu Xuan would suffer on the way, so he asked Li Yuanzhen to transfer some forbidden troops to escort Xu Xuan all the way north, and then returned to the imperial city.
"It's man-made, how can I not be worried, although Xu Xuan went to Chuzhou, if Zhao Kuangyin had decided to attack Chu from the beginning,
It must have been quietly stationed on the northern line of Chuzhou a long time ago, Xu Xuan only left yesterday, I'm afraid it's too late..."
Bao Ying, Bao Ying, Lao Tzu's original intention was to let you be a mascot in the past, and save Lin Renzhao, a general who defended the city, to kill Zhao Kuangyin by surprise, you must not be greedy for wine and meat all day long, and be the culprit of the country!
"Shengshang, there is no need to worry too much that Bao Ying is a straw bag general who can't hold Chuzhou, Haozhou Li Chongjin, isn't there no news yet, this means..."
"Report! General Li of Haozhou sent someone to deliver the military report! ”
"What! Bring people in! ”
Han Xizai was originally a calm and calm person, but when he heard the word military report, he suddenly jumped up in a hurry, as if he was not an old person.
In this Jinling City, in addition to the safety of the Son of Heaven can make him anxious, only this military report that comes and goes can make him moved.
Li Xiang was also anxiously waiting for the military report, and his heart was even more uneasy, but he looked at the person who entered the hall and found that this person was the henchman who had been holding Li Chongjin's left and right, and when he saw that this person was empty-handed, he suddenly became suspicious.
"You are Li Qing's lieutenant? And put your name on it! Also, is Li Qing safe in Haozhou? ”
Seeing that the Son of Heaven didn't care about the military newspaper in the first place, Qin Cheng actually asked for his name, and cared about Li Chongjin's safety, and instantly understood why Li Chongjin would die for this Son of Heaven.
"Villain Qin Cheng! General Li specially asked the villain to enter Jinling quickly to deliver the military report!"
"Where's the military newspaper! Where did you put it! ”
Han Xizai didn't care about the monarch and ministers appeasing him, so he stood directly beside Qin Cheng and picked up his clothes, and immediately retreated Qin Cheng in shock.
"Uh... When the general came, he instructed that the Song people might have sent spies on the way to Jinling, and specially ordered me to deliver the report in person, but there was no letter..."
"Ahh Tell me, what's going on in the North! ”
Han Xizai can't care about the old face gaffe, it seems that he is the son of heaven, Li Xiang looks at this Han Xizai like an old man, he only feels funny, but he can't get angry.
"The general saw that the Song people's military flag had not moved for a few days on the city tower that day, so he suspected that the Song people were cunning and used a surprise tactic.
sent the dead soldiers to rush over and found that the Song people really only planted the military flag in Haozhou, but there were no troops around! ”
Hearing Qin Cheng's words, Han Xizai suddenly felt a little weak, and turned his head to observe the demeanor of the Son of Heaven behind the Dragon Case, and found that the face of the Son of Heaven was also extremely ugly.
"Alas... Chuzhou... Jeopardy! ”
Thousands of calculations, still did not prevent Zhao Kuangyin, the old fox, Li Chongjin and Bao Ying had a grudge last time, and they would definitely not send troops to rescue Bao Ying early, the center of gravity of Wu Yue is also in the north of the country, there are only 10,000 veterans in Chuzhou, and I never thought that the Song people would really attack Chu.
I really... Can you win against Zhao Kuangyin, if Bao Ying is defeated and flees, and only relies on the Long Xiang army, either the Song army will be wiped out, or it will be difficult to rise again with heavy losses.
"Beifu Army!"
"Shengshang, the Beifu Army has received an order to go north, and at this moment, my father is afraid that he has already led his troops to attack Dengzhou..."
Li Yuanzhen whispered to Li Xiang's side, also afraid that the Son of Heaven would be in a mess, and was about to remind, but saw Li Xiang clenching his fists and hammering on the dragon case, staring at Haozhou on the map, and now he didn't know whether to take the Long Xiang army south to preserve his strength, or go to the north to fight to the death with the Song people.
If you don't fight him and save this bit of military strength, Jinling and other important towns will be occupied by Zhao Kuangyin, then this stormy Tang Dynasty can only wait for death.
"Holy... Hurry up and wait with me... Move the capital to Yuzhang, and still preserve the foundation of my Tang Dynasty..."
"Save? Han Qing thought, what can be saved?
Save the life of this cheap emperor who was chased and beaten?
Preserve the imperial court that has been repeatedly pressed south?
Or is there no Tang army that can defeat the heart of Song? ”
"Saint, the combat strength of the Long Xiang army is not fierce, if it is used to fight the Song people, if it loses most of it, how can it confront the Song people in the future."
Han Xizai seemed to feel that the Son of Heaven was young and frivolous, and he was completely unconvinced by Zhao Kuangyin's pressure and beating, and he wanted to act rashly, so he hurriedly persuaded him to move south again, for fear that the Son of Heaven would really run away and fight with Zhao Kuangyin.
"Since the Song Dynasty people went south, there have been hundreds of excerpts for me to move south! Move south! Are these people really for the Tang Dynasty,
Or for his own official life! Don't you know, after moving south, it will be impossible to win the Song Dynasty! ”
Li Xiang grabbed the map and scolded angrily in the hall, although he didn't know who to scold, he provoked these people with a frightened face. Li Xiang immediately tore the map and threw it on the ground, looking at everyone in the hall.
"If I really move south, the emperor will be ridiculed by the world, and my army will no longer have the heart to fight the Song Dynasty..."
In fact, Han Xizai didn't know that what the Son of Heaven said was reasonable, but he couldn't think of any way to win the Song army at the moment, and the Tang Dynasty finally produced a generation of Ming Jun, but the times were not good, and he couldn't bear to see this unambitious Son of Heaven die in Jinling, or die in the north, he sighed, raised his eyes and found that the Son of Heaven was looking directly at him.
"Han Qing, I! I really don't want to be a fleeing emperor! ”
Seeing Li Xiang looking directly into his eyes, Han Xizai was no longer reluctant, and he also knew in his heart that the Son of Heaven insisted on this, and he couldn't change anything.
.......
"My Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has arrived! Wait for the city to open the city and kneel quickly! ”
"Drink! Drink! Drink! ”
At this moment, hundreds of 80,000 elite Song people flocked to the gate of Chuzhou like a tiger, and all the armies shouted together, this place is like a wild dragon falling into the sea, and it is also like a wolf and beast swallowing the sky, and the heaven and the earth should respond! The earth and rocks trembled, and there was a sound in the sky.
Hearing the call of this army, most of the people in Chuzhou City were holding the ordnance with their hands faintly trembling.
The ancients are like fierce generals, even if Liu Renzhen is here at this moment, these soldiers will not be so frightened, just because they have come to a straw bag that only knows how to eat and drink all day long, these people don't believe that Chuzhou can hold it at all.
"In this world, there is only one son of heaven! Only I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can be called the Son of Heaven!
You and other shameless people, dare to offend my Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven realm! ”
As soon as this bloody Fang Gang's words came out, the guards behind him were also impressed by this Bao Ying, although he was not wrong on weekdays, and at the critical moment, he was still not afraid to look at the enemy soldiers and horses who were several times more than his own, and even had the courage to insult the other party.
"Who is the guard on the city tower, there are few soldiers and no generals, and they can still have this courage."
Zhao Kuangyin saw that General Chenglou was not afraid at all, and even dared to raise his voice and scold, and he couldn't help but appreciate it.
"Rest assured! When I came, I had already investigated and found out that this person was an incompetent bag! It's vulnerable, it's just for show! ”
Wang Quanbin looked at Bao Ying on the city tower with some playfulness, picked up the horse alone, and stepped forward.
"Stand back! If you dare to step forward again, General Ben will kill you! ”
Bao Ying's right hand stretched out, and the guard behind tacitly took out a bow weighing a hundred stones, and put on a feather arrow and handed it to Bao Ying.
"Humph! Do you think I don't know what kind of character you are, Wang will explain it to you now, you put down the bow and arrow in your hand,
I, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, will not kill you when I enter the city, and I will give you glory and wealth! But if you dare to shoot an arrow at my king!
When I wait to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, I will definitely kill you Bao Ying Nine Clans! ”
As soon as these words came out, the guards in the city all sweated for Bao Ying's nine clans, if this was put on ordinary people, they would have long been worried that their family would be implicated, and they would not be able to hold a hundred-stone bow in their hands.
"The general's family is innocent, and we know that the general is loyal to the Son of Heaven, but right now..."
"Get out!"
Just as the rear guard wanted to persuade Bao Ying to surrender, he also knew that Bao Ying was indeed a straw bag, but the longbow in Bao Ying's hand not only did not let go, but held it tightly, repelled the people who persuaded him to surrender in the rear, and resolutely raised the longbow and aimed it at Wang Quanbin.
"Kill!"
I only heard the strong man shout angrily, the longbow rope in his hand made a sound of shaking the bow, and the sharp arrow of Ling Yu flew straight towards Wang Quanbin, Wang Quanbin was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly picked up the snake spear to block the sharp arrow that shot at his head.
"You!"
"Hahaha! Nine Clans?
What if you kill my ten tribes! ”
Bao Ying put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and then raised his hand, and thousands of archers were instantly lined up in the gap on the city tower.
"Are you afraid of death?"
Bao Ying pulled out his saber, looked at the guards behind him with a solemn look, and took advantage of the stunned moments of these guards to go straight to the heart of the person who had just persuaded him to surrender.
"Although Datang is wide! There is no way back!
The rear is Jinling! Behind is the Son of Heaven! It's me Datang Wanmin!
The Son of Heaven will never abandon us, defend Chuzhou, and wait for the Son of Heaven to lead the troops in person! ”
Bao Ying angrily cut off the head of the persuader, and directly grabbed the head and threw it in the direction of Wang Quanbin, everyone was afraid of the tens of thousands of elites of the Song army like a tiger, but at this moment, seeing the guards on the city tower, they were fearless when they were threatened to kill the nine clans, and they were gradually raised bloody.
"We are willing to live and die with Chuzhou!"
When everyone looked at each other, Ling Su drew his sword and shouted, shouting at the defenders under the city, the atmosphere was set to this point, everyone no longer had any fear, and they all raised their heads and shouted.
