Chapter 897: Messenger in the Snow
More than 500 Song troops rushed out from both sides, killing the wounded soldiers of the Jin army to clean up the battlefield, Kou Yi and three people dismounted, and the beggar Deng saw that the leader was Zhang Qing, who had no feather arrows, and stepped forward to thank him and asked, "General Zhang, how did you get here?"
Zhang Qing smiled bitterly: "I was stationed on the bank of the Yellow River, Wang Xiang ran away, and he didn't even notify me, and when I returned to Luoyang after learning the news, the city was empty, and now I can only go back to Bianliang." ”
The beggar asked, "Why don't you come with me to Hedong?"
Deng beggar is hoping to find a way to survive for these people, under the city of Bianliang, it seems that the Jin army and the Great Song Dynasty's Qinwang army are gathered, and they are in a state of confrontation, but according to the observation of the three of them for several days, the Qinwang army is vulnerable in front of the opponent, and the 30,000 elite soldiers of Ying Tianfu cannot beat the opponent's thousands of people; Zhang Qing shook his head and said: "The soldiers' homes are in Henan, so don't worry. ”
Knowing that the twisted melon is not sweet, Deng beggar nodded, leaving Zhang Qing twenty taels of gold, so that these soldiers could buy some food on the road, Zhang Qing did not prevaricate; the two sides said a few more words before they left and disappeared into the vast snow, but Deng beggar did not expect that this was the last time he saw Zhang Qing in his life. Kou Yi arrived at the contact point and immediately sent someone to send a message to Yang Zhi, telling him what happened to Yongchang Mausoleum, Kou Yi thought that Li Shining did not chase after him in person that day, because it took a lot of energy to kill Lin Lingsu, and looking at it this way, the immortal body is not particularly terrifying.
Hearing the report of the Jin soldiers who were tracking, dozens of Jin soldiers died at once, and the monk couldn't help but have a headache, now this area is a situation where the Jin army and the Song army cross each other, battles can be seen everywhere, the dead are not terrible, what is terrible is those who saw Lin Lingsu die and fled;
Unexpectedly, Yang Zhi's subordinates were also following him, yes, the monk was shocked and angry, at least half of his plans in the Central Plains were lost in the hands of this person, especially when it was rumored in the clouds that Yang Zhi was Wang Laozhi's disciple, yes, the monk didn't have a good face all day, and scolded his subordinates so much that they were bloody.
Li Shining shook his head indifferently and said: "Yes, you have to be steady, although I killed Lin Lingsu today, but I don't say anything, they are likely to be entrusted by Su Dongpo or some people to go forward here, in fact, we have also found many masters of the Central Plains in Liaodong over the years, and Wang Laozhi, who cheated to death, is one of them, but Wang Laozhi's martial arts are too high, and he is alert, and he has not intercepted him twice for the division." Yang Zhi's ability to retreat from Liaoyang should be said to be related to Wang Laozhi. ”
Yes, the monk heard about it for the first time, and only then did he know that when he was fighting in the Central Plains, Liaoyang was also very dangerous. Hearing Yang Zhi's name, the monk's eyes lit up, this former friend is now not only the great enemy of the Jin Kingdom, but also his own great enemy. Yes, the monk asked, "Since Wang Laozhi laid out so early, will Yang Zhi know anything?"
Li Shining said calmly: "Except for the King Kong Sect, you shouldn't know anything, but Luoyang's movements are fast, and you have to rush back to assist Yan Zongfu." ”
The northwest wind is howling, the snowflakes cover the sky and rush head-on, two people and two horses, running for twenty miles in the sea of snow, and did not meet a single Western Xia army; seeing that they are going to Yingchang Mansion, Zhou Yuan and Xuanzan did not let go of their hearts, and still hurried their horses, Zhou Yuan carried the holy decree of Song Huizong and Sun Fu's handwritten letter, which was Bianliang's last hope.
The army of the King of Qin of the Great Song Dynasty was nearly 100,000, and was defeated by Wanyan Zongfu around Bianliang, and the number of people fleeing from the forbidden army of Bianliang was increasing day by day, so much that the imperial court did not dare to ask, and learned that Qian Gai led an army of 100,000 to Yingchang Mansion, and Song Qinzong immediately sent them to urge the army.
The two didn't dare to take the post road, all of them were walking through the paths between the fields, Zhou Yuan suddenly saw the cooking smoke, one by one floating in the dark sky, it was so conspicuous; Zhou Yuan restrained the war horse, this area is already the front line of the Jin army, and the ordinary people have already fled, Xuanzan took a breath and said: "General, don't take risks, look at the cooking smoke at least hundreds of people, if it weren't for the Song army, we would have thrown ourselves into the net." ”
Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "What I said is that you and I will change our paths." “
The two of them turned their horses' heads and quickly crossed the field and walked to another path ten miles away, but they were already one step too late, and they saw hundreds of cooking smoke already floating in front of them, and the large force of the Jin army had arrived; in the northwest, the sound of Hu Ji sounded rapidly, and Zhou Yuan and Xuanzan could only turn around and flee to the southwest, and in a short time, there were five teams of cavalry of the Western Xia Army, stepping on snowflakes, chasing along the direction of the wind. Zhou Yuan and the two have been running for almost three hundred miles in a row, the physical strength of the war horse is not as good as the other party, and they were surrounded by the opponent in less than half an hour, it should be the scout force of the Jin army, there are about sixty horses.
Zhou Yuan shouted, suddenly turned his body, swept the big axe, and cut a Jin soldier who had chased behind the horse into two sections on the spot; Xuanzan brandished the swords at the same time, fighting with the Jin army, both of them were fierce generals in the army, and they were unstoppable all the way, the Jin army was killed more than 20 people in a row, and the rest did not dare to approach, they gathered together, far behind, constantly spreading the sound of the beard, and at the same time bending the bow and shooting arrows.
Xuanzan looked back and shot five Jin soldiers, the Jin soldiers retreated a little later, Zhou Yuan and the two were worried that more Jin soldiers would chase after them, so they turned around and left, and ran out of 20 miles in one breath before resting; when the two of them detoured more than 100 miles the next day, they arrived in the southwest of Yingchang Mansion, and found that there were fleeing people and Song soldiers everywhere, Xuanzan stopped one of the Song soldiers and asked, "What's the situation?"
This is a veteran soldier who speaks in a Jiangnan accent: "Qian Gai, that coward, heard that the Jin army was coming, and actually led the army to flee, but it is a pity that the people of a city in Yingzhou, if they didn't think that the Western Army would hold on to them, they would have left a long time ago, and they would not have ended up with the current result, and they were wantonly slaughtered by the Jin army in the city." ”
Zhou Yuan spurted out a mouthful of blood and dismounted, Xuanzan jumped off the horse, helped Zhou Yuan up, and said, "General, don't be angry. ”
The veteran saw that it was not good, and fled in panic; Xuanzan picked Zhou Yuan on the war horse and led the war horse into a nearby grove, Zhou Yuan relieved himself after a while and said: "Xuanzan, Bianliang is finished, I order you to go to Taiyuan to join King Yun." ”
Xuanzan was stunned for a moment and said: "What does the general mean by this, Qian Gai is just evacuating Yingchang, not returning to Guanzhong, and Wang Xiang, the head of the West Road, is still in Luoyang." ”
Zhou Yuan shook his head and said: "You don't understand, the emperor asked Geng Nanzhong to transfer the army of Hebei to the south, and Zhao Gou, the king of Baikang, was the generalissimo, and what he did was to prepare with both hands, wanting to give up the north of the Yellow River and reach an agreement with the Jin people to draw the river and rule, but the Jin army has killed the Yellow River in the east and west, which shows that the purpose of the Jin people this time is to break through Bianliang, but unfortunately the master is dead, and Liu Yanqing, who is valued by the emperor, is not capable enough."
