Of course, the cavalry battalion Han Zhen does not plan to expand any further.

From now on, it will always be 5,000, and he can't afford to raise more.

He even wanted to convert two thousand of them into light cavalry.

After several battles with the Western Army, he found that when the heavy cavalry could charge the opponent's Chinese army, there was no essential difference between five thousand and three thousand.

On the contrary, the high mobility and agility of light cavalry in battle is no less important than that of heavy cavalry.

As for the captured war horses, they will be raised in Linqu Horse Farm after returning as spare war horses.

After all, if you want to buy a war horse in the future, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

"County magistrate, this person is wearing a red robe, he should be a big official."

Liu Qi said, taking Li Bangyan off the saddle and throwing him on the ground.

"Oops!"

fell a butt butt, and Li Bangyan grinned in pain.

Han Zhen asked condescendingly, "Who are you?" ”

Li Bangyan rubbed his buttocks and stood up, and said with a flattering smile: "I am Li Bangyan." ”

Before he became an official, he was a prodigal son, and he naturally pulled his lower face.

"The original way is Lee Sang-ko!"

Han Zhen was immediately happy, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish this time.

When the prime minister of the dynasty, Li Bangyan!

Li Bangyan waved his hand again and again: "In front of the king, he should not be called public." Although I became an official, I admired the king the most for being such a jealous and hateful hero, and when I was in my hometown in the past, I also had a group of friends on the green forest road. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi, Huang Kai and others showed disdain.

When he was the prime minister, he was so lowly and undignified.

Li Bangyan didn't care, and looked at Han Zhen worriedly.

Han Zhen asked, "How many forbidden troops are there in the rear?" ”

"Don't dare to hide the king, there are still 10,000 forbidden troops in the rear, and the commander is Gao Yu."

Li Bangyan sold Gao Yu cleanly in a blink of an eye.

"Get on your horse and break the enemy!"

Han Zhen waved his hand.

Crash!

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion turned on their horses one after another.

Gollum!

Li Bangyan swallowed his saliva, only when the other party was about to kill the killer, he hurriedly begged: "The king spares his life, the king spares his life!" ”

Han Zhen chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, Li Xianggong will be wronged for a while, and I will let you go back later." ”

How could he be willing to kill Li Bangyan, and he had to rely on him to continue to plague Zhao Song.

"Whew!"

Li Bangyan let out a sigh: "The king is benevolent! ”

"Huang Kai, take Li Xianggong!"

Han Zhen commanded, and set up a horse to step onto the stone bridge.

Huang Kai smiled, scooped up Li Bangyan and put it across the saddle.

The bulge of the saddle pressed against his chest, and as the horse jolted, he ached for a while.

……

However, it is said that after Cao Xiong led hundreds of cavalry to cross the stone bridge, he ran seven or eight miles away in one breath with his head bored, and ran into the forbidden army foot soldiers led by Gao Yu head-on.

Seeing that only seven or eight hundred of the three thousand cavalry had returned, and all of them looked frightened, Gao Yu suddenly chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Cao Xiong, how is the battle ahead?" What about Lee Sang-gong? ”

"The thief is fierce, and I can't wait."

Cao Xiong then remembered Li Bangyan, and said with an ugly face: "As for Li Xianggong, I'm afraid that there is more luck than luck." ”

Hiss!

Gao Yu gasped.

Before he could come back to his senses, he saw Cao Xiong urging: "Captain Gao, hurry up and go back to the city." If you wait for the thieves to catch up, it's too late to leave! ”

Hearing this, Gao Yu was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to throw away their ordnance and baggage and run in the direction of the capital.

Not to mention, these forbidden troops came slowly, and they only walked less than five miles in half an hour.

But when they fled for their lives, they were faster than the other, and it only took a quarter of an hour to escape back to the city.

"Quick, open the gates!"

Gao Yu sat on his horse and shouted towards the city tower.

Seeing that it was him, how dare the forbidden army defending the city slack off, and immediately open the city gate.

Gao Yu and Cao Xiong immediately rushed into the city gate on horseback, and the forbidden army in the rear also rushed to the city gate.

For a while, the scene was extremely chaotic.

After the forbidden soldiers poured into the city, dozens of corpses were left in the caves of the city.

……

On the other side, Han Zhen led the cavalry battalion across the Yellow River and ran wildly all the way.

As a result, not even the shadow of the forbidden army was seen.

Eventually, less than five miles from the city of Tokyo, a large number of abandoned ordnance baggage was seen.

"This ......"

Liu Qi wanted to speak and stopped.

At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

The forbidden army of the Beijing division has been eroded to this point.

Huang Kai looked excited, and said loudly: "The Western Army has been defeated, the Zhao Song Forbidden Army is rotten, and the county magistrate can take advantage of the situation to sweep the world!" ”

Han Zhen didn't speak, and glanced at him lightly.

Huang Kai was furious by this glance and shrunk his neck.

"Let's go!"

Han Zhen waved his big hand and clamped the horse's belly between his legs.

The war horse under him realized, and immediately stepped out of the four hooves and galloped towards Tokyo City.

Thundered!

More than 4,000 cavalry, plus 7,800 war horses, galloped with great power.

"The thief is coming!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Above the city tower, the faces of the forbidden soldiers changed greatly, and they shouted loudly.

For a time, hundreds of three-bow bed crossbows and thousands of divine arm crossbows were aimed at the city, ready to go.

Han Zhen did not approach the city, and after running to a distance of 800 steps, he suddenly turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of Xicheng.

Thousands of cavalry swaggered around the city of Tokyo, and then left in style.

Returning to the place where the forbidden army had abandoned the ordnance, Han Zhen ordered the whole army to stop.

Helping Li Bangyan off the war horse, Han Zhen straightened his armor and gently patted the dust on the red daze.

Li Bangyan was scared to death, but he didn't dare to move, and a smile on his face was more ugly than crying.

Han Zhen said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I have wronged Li Xianggong." ”

"No grievances, no grievances. I can see heroes today, and it is not in vain to go out of the city. ”

He was used to patting sycophants in front of Song Huizong, so much so that all kinds of sycophants came easily.

"Li Xianggong goes back, if it's convenient, you can help me bring a message to Zhao Ji."

Although Han Zhen's words were discussed, they were unquestionable.

Where did Li Bangyan dare to refuse, he nodded busily and said, "Convenient, convenient!" ”

"The land of Shandong, I Han Zhen asked for it. As for the lives of Liu Guangshi and others, prepare money to redeem them! ”

Li Bangyan was shocked and frightened in his heart, but he said respectfully on his face: "The king is relieved, I will definitely bring the words!" ”

Han Zhen smiled slightly: "Li Xianggong, please go back, don't send it!" ”

After that, Han Zhen ordered the soldiers to bring some grain and grass discarded by the forbidden army and rushed towards Chen Qiaoyi.

Seeing a group of anti-thieves leaving, Li Bangyan took a sip and scolded: "Straight thief, I don't know how to leave a horse for my grandfather!" ”

After scolding, he felt puzzled and spat again, and then he turned around and walked in the direction of Tokyo City.

……

Inside the Imperial City Hall.

Song Huizong sat anxiously on the dragon chair, and the ministers of the court below were arguing with their gossips.

The chaotic sound made Song Huizong have a headache.

"Report!"

Suddenly, there was an urgent report from outside the hall.

"Xuan!"

Song Huizong hurriedly ordered.

A royal straight bowed down and reported: "Your Majesty, the forbidden army has been defeated, Li Xianggong has been captured, Gao Taiwei and General Cao have retreated to the city, and now the thieves are coming to the capital!" ”

Wow!

There was an uproar in the main hall.

Song Huizong's face was frightened, and he couldn't sit still.

How long has it been since the forbidden army went out of the city to quell the rebellion, and it was defeated so quickly, and the rebels were so fierce?

At this time, a person stepped out of the ranks and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty don't worry, although the anti-thieves are brave, they are only thousands of cavalry, and the capital city is high and thick, and the people in the city are even more than a million." Don't say that thousands of people are ten times more than a hundred times the enemy, and they can't attack the Beijing Division. And the lone army is deep, the supply is insufficient, and it will not be long before it will retreat. ”

The person who spoke was Zhang Bangchang, a Chinese scholar.

Hearing this, Song Huizong couldn't help but make up his mind: "Aiqing is reasonable. ”

Wang Hao glanced at Cai You, sneered in his heart, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ting, Liu Mi and other officials surrendered to thieves, which is really a great rebellion. ”

Speaking of Zhao Ting, Song Huizong was angry from his heart, and his teeth itched with hatred.

When this guy abandoned the city in Hangzhou and fled, he should have cut off his dog's head.

The anti-thief has been dormant for so long, I think it must be Zhao Ting who helped him cover it.

Thinking of this, Song Huizong said coldly: "A group of thieves and officials, Zhulian three clans!" and the Fuyang Xie family, also beheaded! ”

The impact of officials turning into thieves is too bad, and it is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country.

Severe punishment must be imposed to set an example.

Otherwise, as soon as the precedent opens, he will be really stormy.

Hearing the three clans of Zhulian, an official immediately jumped out and shouted: "Your Majesty, think twice, Emperor Taizu has a training." Besides, the matter of Zhulian hurts the peace of heaven and damages the name of His Majesty, so he can only take his family. ”

"Zu Xun?"

Song Huizong sneered: "When he Zhao Ting surrendered to the thief, did he ever think about Zu Xun? ”

“……”

The official's face froze.

After all, since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, the five high-ranking members of the imperial court have surrendered to thieves, which is the first case and a precedent.

After a moment of silence, Song Huizong snorted, waved his hand and said, "According to Aiqing's words, only take the family." ”

Although he was angry, he didn't dare to do too much.

Zhao Song and the scholars share the world, this sentence is not just talking.

In essence, these scholars and doctors in the DPRK and China are all shareholders.

The biggest reason why they are so loyal is that Zhao Song gave them extremely generous treatment, one of which is not to kill the doctor.

Since Zhenzong, successive emperors have never killed a civil official.

No matter how big a mistake is made, Dingtian is also degraded to a commoner, and is assigned to Lingnan, Yazhou and other wild places.

If he is too ruthless, it will inevitably arouse strong dissatisfaction and resistance from the scholars.

Especially at this juncture.

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

The courtiers breathed a sigh of relief and thanked one after another.
