Cao Yong led everyone to the gate, only to see a high-spirited general dressed in gold armor and wearing a red robe, surrounded by thousands of soldiers and horses. Cao Yong frowned, he recognized the person, it was Lu Qianzhong, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. When the team came to the gate, Cao Yong clasped his fists and bowed: "Zhenbei Marshal Cao Yong greets Lord Qincha!" Lu Qianzhong stepped on the horse, glanced at Cao Yong, and asked, "Cao Yong, are you guilty?" ”

Cao Yong was stunned for a moment, only felt inexplicable, and asked, "What is Ben Shuai's crime?" Lu Qianzhong smiled coldly, made a gesture, and one of the officers accompanying him immediately took out a yellow silk holy decree and said loudly: "Under the holy decree, kneel!" Cao Yong frowned and knelt down. All the soldiers around him also knelt down. The officer opened the decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I am generous to Er, and I entrust the peace of the northern town and the Great Song Dynasty to Er, how dare you be ungrateful, collude with the rebellion, and intend to do that act against the heavens and the heart!" ……”

When Cao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately understood that someone above the court must have slandered and framed him, and his heart was angry and puzzled, and he didn't understand why those ministers in the court wanted to frame themselves in such a critical situation, did they hope that Yan Yunjun would sweep Jiangnan?

Then I heard the officer continue to read: "Er's great rebellious crime, even if you die, it is difficult to atone for it, but I remember the merits you made for the Song Dynasty in the past, and I will not put you to death for the time being, and I will specially order you to be escorted to Jinling, and I will personally adjudicate it!" The post of Marshal of Zhenbei was taken over by Lu Qianzhong, and he admired this! Cao Yong frowned tightly and did not speak. Seeing that Cao Yong did not accept the order, Lu Qianzhong shouted loudly even if he wanted to use the topic to play: "Cao Yong, why don't you accept the order to thank you, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

Cao Yong came back to his senses and glared at Lu Qianzhong angrily. Lu Qianzhong was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, take down this rebellion for me!" The entourage immediately agreed and stepped forward. The soldiers around Cao Yong immediately stood up and drew their blades to resist.

Seeing that there were few people on the other side, Lu Qianzhong smiled coldly and said predictively: "Since you are looking for death, no wonder I am ruthless!" "As soon as I thought of this, I wanted to order a massacre. However, at this moment, rumbling footsteps came from the street on one side, and at the same time, a thunderous voice roared: "Who dares to move the handsome!" ”

Lu Qianzhong was startled, hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw a general wearing heavy armor and a fierce appearance leading tens of thousands of troops rushing in. Lu Qianzhong was taken aback when he saw this scene. The person who came was none other than Cao Yong's first general, Yao Ping.

Yao Ping led the soldiers and horses to surround Lu Qianzhong and his soldiers and horses from the outside. Yao Ping pointed at Lu Qianzhong with a big knife and shouted: "Traitor, if you want to harm the commander, this general will kill you first!" ”

Lu Quanzhong was actually photographed by Yao Ping, and his complexion couldn't help but change greatly, and then he shouted in a restrained manner: "This handsome man has come to arrest the rebel by holy order!" Is this a rebellion? Yao Ping scolded angrily: "Fuck! Da Shuai led us to do our best to resist the invasion of the Yan Yun Army, Da Shuai can be said to be nine deaths, and he actually said that Da Shuai is a rebel! In that case, Lao Tzu is fucking the opposite! The soldiers under his command shouted in unison: "It's the other way around!" Everyone was furious, and their voices soared into the sky. When Lu Qianzhong and his soldiers saw such a momentum, they were all frightened and at a loss.

Cao Yong shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! The soldiers stopped shouting, and everyone's faces were still indignant. Yao Ping hurriedly said to Cao Yong: "Dashuai, the court and the emperor are so mediocre, why should you be stupid and loyal to them!" They said that the commander intended to collude with King Yan, which was not only an insult to the commander, but also an insult to the many soldiers who died in the bloody battle! It's not worth working hard for such an emperor for such a court! ”

Cao Yong said angrily: "If you say rebellious words again, don't blame me for dealing with military law!" Yao Ping was depressed and angry, but he had to keep his mouth shut. Cao Yong's expression softened a little, and said: "Your Majesty was just deceived for a while, I believe that Your Majesty will eventually return my innocence!" Yao Ping wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.

At this time, Liu Feng and other generals also rushed to the scene one after another, and the soldiers and horses on Cao Yong's side reached almost 30,000 people at the scene.

Liu Feng glanced at Lu Qianzhong and said to Cao Yong: "Marshal, it's time to reconsider the previous proposal of your subordinates!" ”

Cao Yong knew what Liu Feng meant, Liu Feng wanted him to reconsider the matter of surrendering to King Yan, shook his head slowly, and said, "How can a loyal minister do anything to the two masters!" Even if Your Majesty is unjust to me, I cannot be unfaithful to him! Then he glanced at everyone under his command sternly, and said: "Here, I give one last order, you must wholeheartedly assist the new marshal and guard Xiangyang!" Otherwise, I'm sorry, and I won't forgive you even if I go to hell! Everyone's hearts were in a pang, and they were helpless, so they hugged their fists together and promised. Seeing this, Lu Qianzhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was proud again. said to Cao Yong: "Cao Dashuai, the emperor's order is difficult to do, let's hand it over!" ”

Cao Yong nodded, ordered the captain of the personal soldiers beside him to fetch the Shuai Yin, and then walked to Lu Qianzhong's horse with the Shuai Yin in his hand. Lu Qianzhong turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hands to take it, looked at the handsome seal in his hand, and his eyes showed a look of great excitement.

When Cao Yong saw Lu Qianzhong's expression, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, frowned, and said, "Now Lu Dashuai is the generalissimo of Zhenbei!" I have a few words to say to Yu Dashuai! Lu Qianzhong played with the handsome seal and said casually: "If you have anything to say, just say it." Cao Yong frowned slightly, and said: "Yan Yunjun is the army of tigers and wolves, the world is sharp, and the combat power is invincible!" Don't be careless! You can only defend the fortified city, and you must not rush into battle! ”

Lu Qianzhong couldn't help but secretly said: 'You are a wreck, am I just like you?' The strength of our army is not less than that of the other party, if it is just a turtle that cannot be retracted, won't it greatly damage the prestige of the Wang Division? Thinking so in his heart, he nodded casually and said, "Ben Shuai knows." Cao Yong saw that his demeanor obviously didn't take his words to heart, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and said urgently: "Dashuai must not take my words as wind in his ears, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" Lu Qianzhong couldn't help but said angrily: "Is Er a handsome now, or is this handsome a handsome?" Ben Shuai naturally has Ben Shuai's ideas, you don't need to worry about it, you should think more about yourself! ”

Seeing this, Cao Yong was annoyed, but he didn't know what to do for a while. Lu Qianzhong said: "If there is nothing to do with Cao Dashuai, let's go on the road as soon as possible, it will be delayed for too long, but it will be a great disrespect to Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Yong couldn't help but sigh. Lu Qianzhong immediately said to the forbidden army officer beside him: "There is General Lao Deng, escort Cao Dashuai back to Beijing!" The officer of the forbidden army hugged his fists in agreement, and then hugged his fists at Cao Yong and said, "Marshal Cao, please!" Cao Yong turned his head and glanced at his subordinates who were full of reluctance, and all his subordinates called: "...... handsome" Cao Yong sighed, turned his head, turned over his horse, and walked away under the escort of General Deng.

When Lu Quanzhong saw that Cao Yong was gone, he immediately ordered the drums to gather the generals and raise the account to discuss the matter. The generals didn't want to pay attention to it, but remembering the instructions of the marshal before leaving, they had no choice but to go to the camp hall to discuss matters.

Yan Yunjun's big tent. Yang Peng looked at the report he had just received, and couldn't help sighing, raised his head and said to everyone: "I just received a detailed report, Cao Yong has been dismissed by Song Ting!" Everyone felt incredible, and Xiao Duli said: "I didn't expect that it was just a few rumors, and I actually let the Zhao Song court revoke Cao Yong's official position!" Emperor Zhao Song is just too mediocre! Duan Zhixian said: "Emperor Zhao Song was originally so mediocre! The Sprinkle family has seen it a long time ago! Xiang Danian happily hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said: "King Yan, the other party is about to change the commander, and the army will inevitably be unstable, it is a good time to capture Xiangyang!" The last general is willing to be the vanguard and attack Xiangyang! The generals hurriedly asked for battle.

Yang Peng smiled, looked at Ya Yu Guanyin, who was sitting on the side with a big belly, and asked, "Guanyin, what do you think?" ”

Ya Yu Guanyin pondered: "This Lu Quanzhong, I heard that he is an arrogant person. I don't think I'm in a hurry to attack Xiangyang, I can let this person be majestic first! ……”

As soon as Lu Qianzhong took office, he ordered all the people of Xiangyang to be forcibly recruited to assist in defending the city, and at the same time ordered the soldiers and horses of Junzhou, Gucheng, and Yicheng to gallop to Xiangyang, and he wanted to fight to the death with the Yanyun army. Liu Feng and others discouraged, but it had no effect.

At this time, the scout came to report: "Qiqi Dashuai, Yan Yunjun heard that it was Dashuai who succeeded Cao Dashuai in Xiangyang, and he was terrified!" When Lu Qianzhong heard this, he laughed proudly. Liu Feng and Yao Ping were very surprised.

A few days later, nearly 200,000 troops from the three cities gathered under the city of Xiangyang. Lu Qianzhong immediately opened the city gate, poured out, and led an army of 2.67 million and 200,000 people who were forcibly recruited to launch a counterattack against Yan Yun's army. Liu Feng and others tried their best to dissuade them, but Lu Qianzhong insisted on going his own way. However, the development of things was greatly unexpected by Liu Feng and others, the army was killed, Yan Yun's army was about to collapse, and in an instant, the camp was taken away by Lu Qianzhong, and a lot of grain and grass were taken away, and Yan Yun's army retreated sharply in the direction of Niushou Town.

Seeing that the Yanyun army had been defeated in the first battle, Lu Qianzhong was very excited and proud, and immediately couldn't wait to send people to Jinling to win, and at the same time led the army to pursue the Yanyun army, with a posture of not completely annihilating the Yanyun army. The Song army continued to pursue, and the Yan Yun army continued to retreat, the situation can be said to be very favorable for the Song army, and it only takes one battle to completely defeat the Yan Yun army!

Two days later, Yan Yun's army retreated to Niushou Town, and the Song army immediately chased after him. The soldiers of the Song army thought that they would see Yan Yunjun's panicked scene, but they were surprised to see that Yan Yunjun's back to Hanshui formed a military formation. Lu Qianzhong laughed, pointed at the Yanyun army formation in the distance with a horsewhip and said proudly: "They are desperate and want to fight the trapped beasts!" Liu Feng's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said to Lu Qianzhong: "Dashuai, the situation is not right, retreat quickly!" ”

Lu Qianzhong was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Nonsense! If you dare to talk nonsense and shake the hearts of the army, this commander will use the military law to punish your crimes! ”

Liu Feng frowned and didn't say anything more. Glancing at the Yan Yunjun in front, he saw that the opponent's army was like a mountain, and there was no sound among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, except for the sound of hunting flags and the occasional neighing of horses. How can such an army be a cornered army? Besides, Yan Yunjun has always been extremely tough and tenacious, why is it that in the past two days, it has collapsed at the touch of a button, and the army has been defeated like a mountain? It must be so, yes, Yan Yunjun was not defeated, they were clearly deliberately defeated and lured into the urn! Liu Feng was frightened in his heart, so he was ready to speak to Lu Qianzhong again.

At this moment, Lu Qianzhong pulled out his sword, pointed at Changtian, and shouted: "The whole army is attacking!" "The drums of war rumbled. Liu Feng's face changed, and he said secretly: It's late!

When the soldiers of the Song army heard the roar of the war drums, their blood boiled, and even the 200,000 people who were forcibly requisitioned couldn't help but stir up their fighting spirit! The officers and men of the whole army shouted violently, rushing towards the Yanyun army formation like a tide! The thunder is rolling, the earth is shaking, and it is so powerful that it seems to destroy everything! Seeing such a scene, Liu Feng couldn't help but pray in his heart: I hope that I was wrong, I hope that such a landslide and tsunami-like offensive can destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop! And Lu Qianzhong looked at the scene in front of him excitedly, and he was already imagining in his mind that he would lead the army to recover Bianliang, and then sweep the entire Central Plains! Thinking of the pride, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The Song army's nearly 500,000 horses and horses rushed towards the Yanyun army like a rolling wave, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, and one hundred steps.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud buzzing sound in the Yan Yun army, and at the same time, a black cloud flew up to the sky and flew to cover the sun, and in the blink of an eye, a dense rain of arrows fell into the middle of the Song army, and it caused countless ripples in the huge wave, and the screams resounded one after another in the rumbling footsteps! When the people who had been forcibly requisitioned saw that some of them had fallen to the ground with arrows around them, and their blood subsided, fear welled up in their hearts, and many stopped their charge, but they were crowded together with those who rushed up after them, and many of them were obstructed, as if countless reefs had suddenly appeared in the surging tide.

The crossbowmen of the Song army returned fire one after another, and the arrows fell into the Yanyun army, which also caused some casualties, but after the arrow rain passed, the entire Yanyun army formation did not seem to be affected in the slightest.

The two sides exchanged arrows, and Yan Yun obviously had the upper hand. When the two sides were thirty paces apart, Yan Yun and the crossbowmen were powerful together, and the dense rain of arrows roared away, impermeable to the wind, and the Song army soldiers in front of them fell one by one, and the surging waves seemed to have encountered great obstacles, but they were still constantly approaching the Yan Yun army formation!

Suddenly, the frontal defense line of the Yanyun army suddenly withdrew, and more than 10,000 fierce Yanyun war cavalry appeared in front of the soldiers of the Song army, surging head-on, and the huge roar instantly seemed to overshadow the footsteps of the Song army.

At a distance of twenty or thirty steps, the war cavalry arrived in a blink of an eye, only to see more than 10,000 Yanyun war cavalry and the Song army wave colliding together, instantly killing into the depth of the Song army! Iron hooves trampled, swords and guns attacked, the Song army screamed and fell down one after another, flesh and blood flying! At the same time, the Yanyun Army counterattacked in an all-round way, with the Modao Army as the vanguard, and entered the middle of the Song Army, killing one step at a time, and fighting bloodily! The Song army resisted desperately, but felt that the opponent's offensive was like a landslide like a tsunami, and it was impossible to resist at all, and the army was gradually defeated and retreated uncontrollably!

The people who were forcibly conscripted first couldn't stand it and collapsed completely, and then the Song army was also defeated one after another and retreated. Nearly 500,000 horsemen were defeated.

Seeing such a situation, Lu Qianzhong couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't understand why his own army was far more numerous than the other party, and they were obviously cornered, how could his own side be defeated by them in such a short period of time?!

Liu Feng hurriedly said: "Great marshal, quickly order the heavy armor soldiers to resist the enemy, and the army will retreat immediately!" Lu Qianzhong reacted and hurriedly gave the order. ……

More than 300,000 Song troops successfully retreated, but on the way back, there was a figure of Yanyun war cavalry, the Song army panicked, and hurriedly retreated to the northwest, ready to retreat to Gucheng, but after walking not far, I saw that there were also Yanyun war horses on the road ahead. The Song army had nowhere to flee and had to retreat to a desolate mountain. Soon after, Yan Yun's army came up again. The soldiers of the Song army looked at the cloud-like banners under the mountain and the camp like the mountain, and couldn't help but tremble in fear.

Lu Qianzhong urgently convened the generals to discuss countermeasures. Liu Feng sighed and said, "From the very beginning, we fell into Yan Yunjun's trap!" With the combat power of the Yan Yun Army, how could it be possible to be defeated and defeated again and again at the touch of a button! That's clearly a trick to lure the enemy! ”

Lu Qianzhong's face became very ugly, and he said angrily: "What's the use of talking about this now?" Quickly figure out how to break out of the encirclement! Liu Feng sighed and said, "Our army has been killed, and it is difficult to break through to the sky!" ”

Lu Qianzhong took the case and said angrily: "I don't believe that I can't get out!" They are more than 300,000 horses, and we still have more than 300,000 soldiers! Then he said to Yao Zhong: "Yao Zhong, you lead your troops and horses as the vanguard and break through to the south!" Yao Zhong frowned and clenched his fists in agreement.

The war drums on the mountain sounded loudly, and Yao Ping personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses to rush down as the vanguard. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, the dense arrows like flying locusts were shot head-on, and the soldiers of the Song army fell to the ground one after another, and the screams rang out! The courage that had just been mustered up was beaten to nothing in an instant, and they rushed back to the mountain! Lu Qianzhong saw such a scene on the mountain, and he was furious, scolding the waste vigorously! Liu Feng said angrily: "If the marshal thinks that General Yao is not doing well, why don't you personally lead the army to break through?" Lu Qianzhong was stunned for a moment, and then shouted hysterically: "This handsome will let you see how powerful this handsome is!" Sixty thousand soldiers and horses were immediately gathered and they rushed down the mountain. As a result, he was first attacked by Yan Yun's strong bow and crossbow, and then he was killed by Yan Yun's war horse, suffering heavy losses, and the remnants of the defeated army rushed up the mountain in panic. When Lu Qianzhong saw Liu Feng and the others, he only felt ashamed and landless. Liu Feng and the others didn't have any intention of making fun of him, now that the army is under siege, the situation is very serious!

In the big tent, Lu Qianzhong frowned with trepidation: "In this situation, it is impossible for us to get out of danger by ourselves!" Only to ask the court for help and ask them to send troops to rescue! ”

Liu Feng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work!" There is no water source on this mountain, and the food and grass carried by the army is only enough to last for three days! Within three days, if we can't break through the encirclement, even if Yan Yun's army doesn't attack, we ourselves will die of thirst and starvation! Lu Qianzhong's face changed, he was at a loss, and he couldn't help but say: "This, how can this be good?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but despise this handsome man when he saw that he was arrogant not long ago, but now he looked panicked.

Liu Feng frowned and said: "For today's plan, I can only use the middle of the night to break through with all my strength to see if I can break through the encirclement!" If Yan Yunjun is careless in the middle of the night, then we still have hope! Lu Qianzhong was like a drowning man who saw a life-saving straw, and exclaimed excitedly: "Yes, the breakthrough at night will definitely be successful!" ”

That night, far away in the Jinling Palace, a large feast was being held, Zhao Heng and the Manchu Dynasty ministers were staggered to celebrate the victory of Xiangyang, Zhao Heng was happy, but he also didn't care about the defense of etiquette, so that all the concubines and princesses in the harem attended, but it was also a beautiful scenery on the banquet.

Zhao Heng raised his glass and said to Taishi Huang Cong: "Taishi recommends virtuous ministers, so that there can be such a great victory!" The Taishi has made great contributions! I salute Master for a cup! Huang Cong picked up the wine glass and stood up, his old face was like a blooming spring flower, and said: "This is the work of Your Majesty's holy virtue, how dare the old minister bow!" Then he said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's come together to pay homage to the Holy Monarch and the Lord!" All the ministers stood up with their cups and raised their voices: "Your Majesty's holy virtue is in the world, and the ministers salute Your Majesty with a cup!" Zhao Heng was overjoyed, laughed, raised his head, and drank the wine in his glass. And all the ministers dried up their wine. The monarchs and ministers had a common mind and laughed together.

Zhao Heng invited singing and dancing, and the dancing girls with slender bodies and beautiful faces flew into the hall like colorful butterflies under the accompaniment of the music and danced. Everyone laughed and talked while enjoying the song and dance, a prosperous scene of singing and dancing!

Zhao Heng asked Huang Cong, "Taishi, now Marshal Lu should have completely defeated the Yan Yun Army, right?" Huang Cong hugged his fists and said: "It will take two or three days for the military information to come, and the military report received today should be two days ago, at this time, Wang Shi must have swept the Yanyun army, maybe he has crossed the Han River and attacked the hinterland of Henan!" If nothing else, the Emperor and the Empress will be able to return to the Bianliang Palace before this summer! ”

Zhao Heng couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence. As Zhao Heng, who was already there, couldn't help but murmur: "I really miss the grass and trees in the Bianliang Palace!" And Gen Yue! There is also the Shenxiao Longevity Palace! I wonder what those places look like now? Huang Cong smiled and said: "After Marshal Lu completely defeats the Yanyun rebels, the emperor can return to the old land!" I believe that everything is safe and waiting for the emperor to be lucky! Zhao Heng smiled slightly, and then said: "If Marshal Lu can make such a miraculous achievement, I will crown him king!" ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
