Chapter 40: The Wind Rises

In the land of Chuzhou, the Song army from the chariot army to the cavalry, archers, and infantry all went out of the Tang realm, and continued to withdraw to the northern front, and the army stretched for thousands of miles.

The atmosphere of slaughter on the battlefield dissipated, and the expression of the army changed from top to bottom, but most of the soldiers were relieved, and only a few soldiers hung their heads, not only because they did not win the Tang army on the battlefield, but also because they were worried about whether Bianjing would be punished.

On the Tang army's side, it is in stark contrast to the appearance of the Song army, and the generals, no matter how big or small, are high-spirited and happy.

There was no serious atmosphere among the soldiers, and they all gathered to talk about military theories, and Tang Yue, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, who relied on eloquence to make a lot of limelight, couldn't help but think about the last song in the cool breeze at the end of the melon moon......

"This Zhao Kuangyin is angry! went south with great fanfare, but as a result, the land of one state and one city was not occupied, not to mention, and the soldiers were lost, and they returned with feathers! ”

The generals of the Tang Army, who were still staring at whether the Song army would kill the horse pistol in front of the army, looked at the Song army retreating north with a sneer

"These Song people thought that my Tang people were weak and could be bullied, but as a result, an army of 100,000 people couldn't even take Chuzhou! What a joke! ”

"Look at the majestic Zhao Guan's family, and when I saw my family's son of heaven Longyan, I didn't dare to fight, so I turned around and withdrew the army!"

Deng Qi, the commander of the Broken Cavalry Army, who was frightened by Li Yu's eyes, felt that the sky was sunny and the rain had stopped, and I felt that I could do it again, and I opened my mouth and began to pat the son of heaven.

"But! My Long Xiangjun dispatched this time, but he did not make meritorious contributions, and there are other people who have made great contributions! ”

"That must be my Tang Guanglu Doctor Tang Yue!"

......

The wind swept the grass on the shore, bursts of birdsong, and the generals of the Song army heard the sound of grass and birds, and became more and more nervous, if this battle was won.

At that moment, they must have been drinking and boasting about their own merits, but although tens of thousands of Tang soldiers were killed in this battle, the actual results were not obtained, so they were thinking about how to get rid of their crimes.

"Shi Shouxin, in the Fang Cai Pavilion, do you see that I am annoyed and ashamed?" Zhao Kuangyin's words broke the strange atmosphere in the army.

"The official family... This... I haven't..."

Shi Shouxin was so frightened by these words that he hurriedly stopped, got off the horse and knelt directly in front of Zhao Kuangyin, his voice was choked and he was afraid of crying, just because these words were too annoying, Wang Xianqi was also anxious to think about how to intercede, thinking that the official family paid so much attention to decency on weekdays, so that Shi Shouxin saw the angry appearance of the official family, and he may really have murderous intentions towards Shi Shouxin.

"I won't kill you, if you don't tell the truth, I'm welcome!" Zhao Kuangyin lowered his eyes, but jokingly whispered to Shi Shouxin.

"Official! I... I really look at the official's morale! If the official family is displeased, I can take someone to kill it again, even if it is dead in Chuzhou... also give the official family back face! Shi Shouxin racked his brains and finally squeezed out some life-saving words.

"Humph! Hahaha! Hahaha! ......”

Shi Shouxin thought that if he didn't die, he would inevitably be punished, but when he knelt on the ground, he heard Zhao Guanjia chuckling, raised his head, and found that Zhao Guanjia's whole person was laughing like a madman.

"The official family... Why is this official..."The Loyal Military Festival made Wang Quanbin also frightened by the crazy appearance of this official.

And Wang Xianqi, who got off the horse, helped Shi Shouxin up, while carefully observing the changes in Wang Quanbin's expression, from the moment he heard the official family laughing, he suspected that there must be any hole cards, and Wang Quanbin had never left the official family before the expedition, he must know something, but Wang Quanbin's expression was also surprised, and it didn't look like a disguise.

"Even you, Shi Shouxin, can see that I am annoyed and ashamed, and Li Yu, the little emperor, must also think that I am so embarrassed because I have lost all the plates..."Zhao Kuangyin shook his head at Shi Shouxin with a sneer, and raised his hand to signal him to get on the horse.

"What does it mean for the official family to laugh? Could it be Haozhou... But Li Huaijin is already defeated at the moment, and there is no possibility of defeating Tang..."Wang Quanbin shook his eyes from side to side, and began to think about what the official family was hiding.

"I laughed at Li Yu, thinking that everything was under control, and I thought that I could play with me if I was proficient in calculations, but I was afraid that I would be overcalculated and would be counterattacked!"

Zhao Kuangyin's expression at this moment was just as joking as Li Yu looking at him in the pavilion.

Backlash? Wang Quanbin consciously couldn't ask anything, and began to recall what the official family had done before the expedition, this backlash must be related to the victory of the Tang army over Li Huaijin in the first battle of Haozhou, but Li Huaijin was by his side from beginning to end, how could there be a backlash against Li Yu.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly woke up with his eyes in his eyes, and then remembered that before going south from Bianjing, Zhao Guan's family summoned the generals below the fifth rank in the military camp for a secret meeting in the tent.

"The official family... Could it be that he knew that Li Huaijin would defeat Haozhou! Wang Quanbin felt that he had guessed the answer, and hurriedly said that he was clever.

"Humph! The victory or defeat in the army is unpredictable, and I couldn't know about Li Huaijin's defeat earlier, but I made a defeat in advance.

and then use this feint to make Li Yu, who thinks he is in control of everything, usher in the disaster of destroying the country..."

Zhao Kuangyin saw that this Wang Quanbin was not too stupid, so he no longer concealed it, after all, the army had already left for the north, and it was impossible for this news to be transmitted back to the Tang Kingdom.

"So to speak! The 20,000 soldiers and horses who surrendered in Haozhou were deliberately done by the officials? Wang Xianqi was surprised, but also guessed that this battle seemed to end with the defeat of the Song army, but in fact, it had just begun.

"Hahahaha! Yes, Li Yu thought that he had received 30,000 soldiers and horses from Li Chongjin, and the people's hearts were controllable!

As everyone knows, Li Chongjin really rebelled against the Song Dynasty because he hated me, and he had to go to the Tang Dynasty as a last resort! ”

"So... After Li Chongjin, the official family made this Li Yu have a big appetite, and Li Yu at this time must be conceited! I thought that these 20,000 soldiers and horses would be used for myself! ”

Wang Xianqi knew the intentions of the Zhao official family, and then he was terrified that the fanfare of going south to attack the Tang Dynasty was just a pretense, or it was not a pretense, but the official family might have expected that it would not be so easy to destroy the Tang Dynasty, so he used a fake plan to basket Li Yu into the trap, making him smart but being mistaken by cleverness!

"The twelve generals of the Tengjia Army who descended to the Tang Dynasty, their families are all in Bianjing, and they naturally have to obey my will!"

"After all, this Li Yu is still shallow and extremely ignorant! If you think you are an opponent of our official family, you are actually a self-righteous fool! ”

Shi Shouxin saw that the situation was still favorable to Song, and he knew that he would not be held accountable again, so he grinned in surprise and patted his ass by the way.

"Humph! Ignorance? If you have half of the brain of Li Yu of Tang Kingdom! I won't be able to take a Chuzhou! It seems that he thought that Chuzhou could not be attacked for a long time, and Zhao Kuangyin returned to the look of anger.

Let's say that the Song army attacked Chuzhou with the momentum of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, but was stubbornly blocked by a Bao Ying for as many as two days, so according to the situation of the Song and the northern Liaohan, it would be extremely unfavorable for the Song to continue fighting.

At this time, the Liao State had begun to absorb the Han people in the land of Yanyun, reused them as officials, gradually Liaoned the Central Plains system, and reused the Han people Han Derang as the prime minister not long ago. And Han Derang had close contacts with Liu Jun of the Han State, so the Song army went south, and the Liao and Han must have been plotting with the Song for a long time.

Although according to the situation, the original weak and then strong strategy in the unification is the most secure, but now the southern Tang State is getting stronger, and the southern land cannot be pacified in the short term, the best strategy is to destroy the Northern Han first, and as Li Yu said to the Zhao official family, the division between the north and the south seems to be Song Qiang, and the Song Dynasty is also strong by relying on the national population and the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty, if the situation at this time does not destroy the northern Han State as soon as possible, the seemingly strongest Song has become precarious, there are wolves in the north and tigers in the south, and sooner or later the Song will be dragged to death.

"The official family... The minister asked..."

Wang Quanbin saw that the atmosphere was calm again, so he decided to come forward and ask a question. But seeing that Zhao Guanjia didn't say a word, he knew that he was not interesting, but when he thought of Haozhou, he couldn't bear it, so he still asked with a staring face.

"The official layout of Haozhou... Did Li Huaijin ever know..."

"I know that you are reluctant to give up this Li Huaijin, and you should also understand that if you want to succeed, how can you not give up your soldiers?" Zhao Kuangyin was already a little displeased.

"Minister... I understand..."

The words have come to this point, and there is no point in asking any further. Wang Quanbin also concluded that the Zhao official family also wanted to use Li Huaijin's death to dispel Li Yu's suspicions.

It's just a pity that this young general is still young, but he was betrayed to death by his trusted general, and his own general, the battle of the Tang Dynasty was also clouded by this official.

"General Wang, don't be too sorry for this Li Huaijin, he Li Huaijin is alone, but Li Yu can die because of his conceit! It's a well-deserved death! It can also be regarded as a great achievement of General Wang! ”

This sounds so shameless, and only Gao Huaide, who was in a hurry to button Wang Quanbin's hat, can say it, and now that no one is convicted, Gao Huaide came out to be a good person again, but what this good person did only made Wang Quanbin feel disgusting.
