Before Tong Guan left, he did something stupid.

The 300 Shengjie army guarding the city tower was transferred to the palace to protect the safety of Zhao Ji and others.

If he hadn't been transferred, relying on the location of the city tower, he would have been able to resist for a while, and there would be a chance to drag the Shengjie army outside the city to arrive.

But now, Wang Yan has been cheapened for nothing.

In fact, Tong Guan's move was also out of helplessness, after all, there were only more than 200 victorious troops in the palace, and the Qi army hidden in the city did not know how to go.

If the palace is killed, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After the elite of the 1,000 Xuzhou army entered the city, they went straight to the direction of the palace.

"The South Gate is open!"

The news of the opening of the south gate quickly spread through the city.

For a while, the people of the city began to run in the direction of the southern city.

This made Wang Yan and the 1,000 Xuzhou troops under his command dumbfounded, and in the face of the surging flow of people, they couldn't slaughter the people after death, so they had to rush in.

The south city gate is only a few hundred steps away from the palace, but it has been walking for nearly a quarter of an hour.

There was no way, there were too many people running around, and the streets were blocked tightly.

After a lot of effort, I finally came to the palace.

Wang Yan raised the tiger wing knife in his hand and roared: "Brothers, Feng Wife Yinzi will be tonight, and he will capture the pseudo-Song Dog Emperor with this general!" ”

"Capture the puppet Song Dog Emperor alive!!"

The elite of the 1,000 Xuzhou army roared in unison, their eyes red with excitement.

"Meet the enemy!"

More than 500 victorious soldiers shouted, and their faces were nervous.

Although the Shengjie army was one of the elite of the Song army, the Qi army had a strong record, and the two sides had already lost in momentum before they began to fight.

When it comes to armaments, the victorious army is better than the other.

After all, this Xuzhou army is a strange soldier, and it is impossible to carry too much baggage, only a pair of half-body iron armor, as well as swords, guns, crossbows and arrows.

But as soon as they fought, the Shengjie army fell into disadvantage.

The officers and men of the Xuzhou army were all fearless of death, their faces were hideous, and they roared and rushed into the army.

Military exploits are also divided into large and small.

Once the puppet Song Emperor is captured alive, the next three generations will not have to worry.

The Shengjie Army is actually not weak, after all, Tong Guan is an elite formation drawn from the Western Army, and each of them is strong and powerful.

It's not just the numbers that are missing, but more importantly the morale.

Wang Yan took the lead, holding a knife in one hand and a small round shield in the other, and the Shengjie army was defeated and retreated.

……

"Emperor Taishang, the Qi army is here!"

Li Yan rushed into the dormitory and screamed at the top of his throat.

Zhao Ji was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly asked, "Tong ...... What about Tong Guan? ”

Li Yan replied: "Tong Guogong went to mobilize the Shengjie army outside the city, and he has not come back yet. ”

Zhao Ji asked again: "What's the situation outside?" ”

"The Qi army is fierce, and the Shengjie army is retreating one after another, I'm afraid that Tong Guogong will not be able to lead the troops to rescue him." Li Yan looked panicked.

"Let's go, let's go now!"

Hearing the earth-shattering shouting and killing sound outside the palace, Zhao Ji only felt that his legs were a little weak, and hurriedly ordered: "You go and carry King Yun into the dragon chariot, and we will leave immediately." ”

Zhao Ji said, and walked quickly towards the place where the dragon was parked in the front yard.

Li Yan got the order, spread his legs and ran towards Zhao Kai's dormitory.

Halfway through, Zhao Ji seemed to remember something, turned around and returned to the dormitory, turned out a small wooden box and held it in his arms.

The small wooden box was full of green money, and all of these green coins were obtained by Kou Zhongwen for him during this time, which amounted to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

In addition, in the treasury, there are millions of gold, silver, copper coins and jewelry, but unfortunately these things are too heavy to take away.

After a slight hesitation, his artist's nature was reversed, and he found out the authentic handiwork of Huang Tingjian that Kou Zhongwen had dedicated some time ago and hid it in his sleeve pocket.

It can be seen that Zhao Ji really admires Huang Tingjian.

In later generations, Huang Tingjian's reputation was far less than that of Su Shi, but in the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, Huang Tingjian was as famous as Su Shi and was called Su Huang.

His poems are different from Su Shi's, and they should be carefully tasted together with his words.

Because his words are also a must, and they are not much better than Mi Pei.

Therefore, Lu Benzhong once joked that Huang Tingjian's poems could not get out of the study.

This is actually very normal, for example, later generations gave Li Bai the name of a poet immortal, but in fact, in the Tang and Song dynasties, there was only one recognized poet immortal, which was Bai Juyi.

Moreover, Bai Juyi, a poet immortal, was officially certified, and Tang Xuanzong wrote a poem to mourn and call him a poet immortal.

Bai Juyi's fame in the Tang Dynasty was much greater than Li Bai's, and his influence was also wider.

Emperor Saga was a loyal fan of Bai Juyi, and once sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to collect Bai Juyi's new works, and then sent them back to the Japanese Kingdom by boat for Emperor Saga to enjoy and read.

"Kill, !!"

The shouting of killing became louder and louder, Zhao Ji was startled, and ran out of the dormitory quickly.

As a result, because I was too anxious, I accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell into a dog eating.

"Ouch!"

This time the fall was not light, and Zhao Ji, who was in pain, grinned his teeth and inhaled the cool air.

The sharp pain in his knee rushed to his head, almost making him faint.

"Li Yan!"

"Someone's coming!"

"Come on!"

Zhao Ji shouted at the top of his voice, but no one answered, let alone come.

In the palace, it has long been a mess, and the palace maids, eunuchs, and attendants saw that the situation was not good, and they fled and hid.

He lay on the ground for a long time before he gradually regained his strength.

Struggling to get up, Zhao Ji rubbed his knees, and then raised his hand to touch it in his mouth.

Half of the front teeth are knocked out!

However, Zhao Ji didn't have time to take care of these at this time, and limped to the front hall.

As soon as I arrived in the front hall, I saw six horses pulling the dragon chariot, and under the escort of dozens of imperial equipment, galloping away.

Zhao Ji was stunned, his face full of incredulity.

When he came back to his senses, he opened his arms and shouted, "Wait, I haven't gotten in the car yet, I haven't gotten in the car yet!" ”

However, the dragon chariot did not show the slightest sign of stopping, but walked faster and faster, and quickly disappeared into the night.

For a while, Zhao Ji's hands and feet were cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

……

Outside the palace, the Xuzhou army led by Wang Yan was still fighting with the Shengjie army.

At this time, the more than 500 victorious troops were on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, I heard Zhang Yi shouting: "General Wang, it's not good, the pseudo-Song Dog Emperor has run away!" ”

Ran away?

Wang Yan was so anxious that he slashed over the Shengjie army in front of him with a knife, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me, don't let go of the Dog Emperor!" ”

Seeing that the great merit is about to be obtained, how will they give up.

The 1,000 Xuzhou army almost fell into madness, and rushed wildly in the direction of Long Yuan, no longer paying attention to the Shengjie army.

Even if all the 7,000 Shengjie troops were killed, it would be far less than the merit of capturing the puppet Song Emperor.

And this news also made the Shengjie army, which was already on the verge of collapse, completely collapse.

The emperor has run away, what are they fighting for?

As a result, the remaining Shengjie army scattered in a hurry and fled.

……

said that Li Yan was sitting on the wheel, looking anxious.

Suddenly, a fiery dragon ran from the street in the distance.

When I looked closely, it was Tong Guan who led 6,000 Shengjie troops to arrive.

Li Yan suddenly turned his worries into joy, turned his head to Long Yan and said, "Emperor Taishang, Tong Guogong has led troops to escort him!" ”

As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from Long Yuan, only a few violent coughs.

"The Emperor?"

Li Yan shouted again.

There was still no one to answer.

Li Yan chuckled in his heart, stretched out his trembling hand, and slowly lifted the door curtain.

Inside the dragon chariot, it was pitch black, Li Yan lifted a lantern and stretched it in, and through the dim light, he saw that in the spacious dragon chariot, only Zhao Kai was lying there, blushing and coughing desperately.

There is no one else outside of here.

Hiss!

Li Yan gasped, and a layer of white sweat instantly appeared on his back.

The Emperor is not here!

However, he clearly saw the Emperor Taishang running towards the front hall before, why didn't he go to the dragon chariot?

The situation was critical, and it was dark in the dragon chariot, Li Yan only thought that Zhao Ji was already in the car, so after putting His Majesty into the dragon chariot, he hurriedly ordered to drive out of the city with imperial equipment.

Which Cheng thought, the Emperor Taishang was not in the dragon chariot at all.

Seeing Long Yuan, Tong Guan, who came on a horse, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said: "Weichen is late to save the car, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”

"Tong ...... Tong Guogong ......"

Li Yan slowly turned his head, his face frightened.

Tong Guan frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yan said tremblingly in a crying voice: "Tai...... The Emperor Taishang is still in the palace. ”

"What?!"

Tong Guan was shocked.

After reacting, he immediately ordered: "Xin Xingzong, lead three thousand soldiers, immediately rush to the palace and rescue the Emperor Taishang!" ”

"Humble command!"

Xin Xingzong replied loudly.

"Kill!"

At this moment, the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from the front.

The Xuzhou army led by Wang Yan has already chased after him.

Finished!

The Qi army is chasing after him, and the Emperor Taishang is afraid that he is already more than lucky!

This thought arose in the hearts of Li Yan and Tong Guan.

"Meet the enemy!"

Xin Xingzong swallowed his saliva, and immediately ordered his Shengjie army to protect Long Ran and form a battle formation to meet the enemy.

In the face of an enemy several times larger than himself, Wang Yan and the officers and soldiers of the Xuzhou Army did not have the slightest timidity, but became more and more courageous, taking the team as a unit, spontaneously forming a fish-scale formation and starting a street battle with the Shengjie army.

Poof!

A spear stabbed through, pierced through the iron armor, and pierced Wang Yan's abdomen.

However, Wang Yan cut off the handle of the gun with a knife, and after pulling out the head of the gun, he roared and continued to fight.

The soldiers of the Shengjie army were shocked by the opponent's fearless momentum, and their faces were horrified and timid.

Coupled with the previous reward, these victorious troops are already resentful, where are they willing to fight to the death?

Dozens of dollars in rewards, what a life!

Everyone doesn't want to work hard, they don't want to die, so naturally no one wants to go forward.

For a time, the Shengjie army was killed and retreated.

Xin Xingzong also participated in the battle of pacifying Shandong back then, although he had never fought with the Qingzhou army, but he saw with his own eyes that the 100,000 western army led by Yang Weizhong was beaten by the Qingzhou army, and he had already left a psychological shadow.

Now that he saw the 3,000-victory army, being pressed and beaten by more than 1,000 Qi troops, he couldn't help but feel afraid, and hurriedly reported: "Guogong, the Qi army is fierce and invincible!" ”

Tong Guan didn't care about the emperor at this time, and ordered: "After you lead 3,000 people, the rest of the soldiers will escort Your Majesty out of the city with your own father!" ”

With that, he turned his horse's head and led the 3,000 Shengjie army to escort Long Yuan all the way out of the city.

Xin Xingzong is not stupid, wouldn't it be a death to let him break off.

After Tong Guan left, he immediately called his lieutenant, and Xin Xingzong ordered: "You lead three thousand people to break off, and evacuate in a quarter of an hour." ”

After explaining, Xin Xingzong got off the horse and slipped away under the escort of the guards.

The adjutant general was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly set up his horse to catch up: "General, general, wait for the lowly position!" ”

As the main general and deputy general fled one after another, the morale of the 3,000 Shengjie troops in charge of the broken war plummeted, and they threw down their swords and surrendered on their knees.

"Don't kill me, I'm surrendered!"

"I'm down too!"

Soon, there was a large number of victorious troops kneeling on the streets.

"General Wang, you're wounded."

Seeing that Wang Yan's abdomen was bleeding continuously, Zhang Yi looked concerned.

Wang Yan waved his hand and ordered: "My injury is not in the way, you lead five hundred soldiers to pursue, don't be escaped by the puppet Song Dog Emperor!" ”

"Order!"

Zhang Yi nodded.

Although there were only 500 people, they could already see that the morale of the Shengjie army was low and they had no will to fight.

"Brothers, follow me after the enemy!"

Zhang Yi roared and led five hundred soldiers to chase after him.

The guards beside Wang Yan hurriedly removed his armor and took out a first-aid kit to begin to treat the wound.

"General Wang?"

At this time, not far away, a Shengjie army who knelt on the ground and surrendered let out an exclamation.

Wang Yan followed the prestige, his face puzzled.

The famous Shengjie Jun took off his helmet and said in a surprised tone: "General Wang, you don't recognize me?" I am a cow boy, and I served as the Marquis of Yu under the command of the old breeder. ”

"It's you, boy!"

Wang Yan also recognized the other party at this time.

These Shengjie troops were originally the elite of the Western Army, and Wang Yan had served under the command of the Seed Master, and it was normal for a few to recognize him.

Sure enough, several more Shengjie soldiers came to recognize each other.

Looking around and looking at the Shengjie army kneeling on the ground, Wang Yan said angrily: "Fuck Lao Tzu up, don't embarrass the Western Army!" ”

Crash!

With the sound of the nail leaf rubbing, Shengjiejun stood up one after another, and their faces were ashamed.

As the only strong army that can fight in the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Army also has its own pride.

The most typical example is Wei Da Nie Dong and others, even if they are deserters, they look down on bandits like Shi Bao, if it weren't for Han Zhen to convince them with his unparalleled force, it is estimated that they would not easily defect to Han Zhen.

Wang Yan scolded: "When I was in the Western Army, I didn't hesitate to face the Western Xia people one by one, why have they all changed now?" ”

Niu Chung lowered his head and said sneeringly: "Tong Guan and Xin Xingzong's gang of dog thieves don't treat us as human beings at all, and the brothers don't want to die for them. ”

As the saying goes, a soldier will be a nest of bears.

Under the command of people like Tong Guan and Xin Xingzong, no matter how elite a soldier is, he will become a herd of pigs.

On the contrary, the 3,000 Shengjie army left in Taiyuan, under the leadership of Wang Yu, was an iron-blooded and strong army, and it did not fall behind in the face of the Jin army.

Wang Yan naturally knew this truth, sighed and said, "I don't blame you for knowing it, I will join the Qi army in the future and work hard." ”

The Shengjie army is all elite, and even the drill is saved, and they can immediately go into battle to kill the enemy with armor and guns.

Wang Yan knew in his heart that with His Majesty's temperament, if he learned that he had taken the initiative to recruit the victorious army, he would not only not blame, but would also reward him.

You Shengjiejun asked: "General Wang, I heard that the Qi army can eat meat, is it true?" ”

"Look at your little bit of interest."

Wang Yan glared at him, and immediately replied: "One meal of meat for five days." ”

Originally, the Qi army ate meat for three days, but then there was really no way, so it was changed to one meal for five days.

It's not that I can't afford it, but I can't supply meat.

And the few meals of meat that he ate less every month were also converted into copper coins and added to the soldiers' salaries.

In this way, no one complained, but loved and respected Han Zhen even more.

Today is my son's third birthday, and I played with him for a day, and today it will be 4,000 words for the time being.
