After Huang Gonglie captured two Liao army sentinels, he had to report that the Yingchun Gate of Xijin Mansion had been broken by Pan Ning and Yue Fei led by the army, and Huang Gonglie was worried about Pan Ning's safety, so he marched quickly and rushed to Xijin Mansion to reinforce Pan Ning.

On the bank of the Lugou River, Xiao Gan looked at the Song army on the opposite bank from afar and wondered: "The Song army beat drums and shook the sky, why has it not acted for a long time." ”

At this time, the sentry reported and said, "General Qiyu, the Song army on the other side only has Ye Feng and Shui Han, and Pan Ning and Yue Fei have disappeared without a trace. ”

After a while, another sentinel reported back and said, "General Qiyu, the Xia army led by Li Liangfu has been defeated by the Song army. ”

Xiao Gan pondered slightly, and said: "I originally thought that by holding the Lugou River, I would be able to block the Song army's march, but in fact I was very wrong! Pan Ning and Yue Feibu must have understood the terrain first, and took a detour to Nanjing. ”

Before the messenger sent by Concubine Xiao Defei arrived, Xiao Gan had already led the army back to help.

The elite cavalry led by Pan Ning and Yue Fei did not have an advantage in the street battle, and the archers were hidden everywhere in Xijin Mansion, and the offensive of the front army led by Pan Ning and Yue Fei was frustrated. Yue Fei rushed to kill in front, and Pan Ning crossed the crossbow behind. When the Liao army saw Pan Ning's cracked stone crossbow piercing through Yang in 100 steps, they were frightened, so they ordered the archers to shoot Pan Ning in a volley.

After a rain of arrows, when Yue Fei looked back, Pan Ning had already shot several arrows and slowly fell to the ground. Yue Fei dismounted and galloped, hugged Pan Ning, and shouted: "Sixth sister, hold on, I will take you back to the army and hand it over to the army for treatment." ”

Blood overflowed from the corner of Pan Ning's mouth, and he said, "The arrow enters the heart and lungs, how can Zhen Yixian heal." After returning to the Great Song Dynasty, tell Huai'an that you should live a good life and don't do stupid things. After speaking, Pan Ning slowly closed his eyes.

When the Song soldiers saw that the main general was killed, they couldn't help but lose their fighting spirit. Yue Fei burst into tears, helped the cold Pan Ning onto his horse, and led the front army to retreat to the Yingchun Gate.

At this time, Huang Gonglie led the army to arrive, and when he saw that Pan Ning had been killed, he was extremely sad in his heart, and recalled the scene of teaching Pan Ning's martial arts in Wuxia in the past. Huang Gonglie wielded a three-pointed two-edged knife to kill the Liao cavalry who attacked on horseback, and retreated with Yue Fei to the Yingchun Gate.

When the Song army retreated outside the city, Xiao Gan led the army back. The Liao army inside and outside the city launched a flank attack on the Song army, and Yue Fei swore to defend to the death around the war horse carrying Pan Ning's corpse. After a moment of fierce fighting between the two armies of Song and Liao outside the city of Xijin Mansion, Lu Jinghong led the light cavalry to arrive first.

Xiao Ganxin said: "Lu Jinghong has already led the army to arrive, presumably Li Lianyu and others are not far away, and now they can only enter the city and close their guards, and it is not appropriate to force a battle." ”

Lu Jinghong saw that Pan Ning had been killed by an arrow, and Xiao Gan was about to retreat to the city, and his heart was furious. Lu Jinghong rode his horse to chase Xiao Gan, and when he was about to wield the Qiushui long knife to cut Xiao Gan, he was hit on the head by a big stone thrown from the city wall, and Lu Jinghong suddenly fell from his horse, and his flesh and blood were blurred.

Yue Fei and Huang Gonglie were heartbroken, but they could only lead the army to retreat, and after marching for five miles, they met the army led by Li Lianyu. Seeing the depressed expressions of the soldiers, Li Lianyu understood their intentions in her heart, so she ordered to withdraw to Liangxiang first.

Li Lianyu returned to the camp and was grief-stricken. Zhen Yue was also full of sorrow.

Li Lianyu said in a low voice: "Although Lu Jinghong is one of the culprits who killed Tianmu, I am indeed saddened by his death today. ”

Zhen Yue said: "Lu Jinghong followed Cai Jing in the past in order to strengthen the power of Xuantianmen, although he did some unrighteous things before, but his original intention was to consider Xuantianmen. Fortunately, his conscience finally found that he no longer did evil for Cai. ”

Li Lianyu said: "The sacrifice of the six masters today, I am very sad in my heart. Presumably, Pengju and the five masters must be even more uncomfortable than me at this moment. ”

Zhen Yue said: "The six masters are bold and neat, heroic and compelling, and they are really Mu Guiying in the world." ”

At this time, Yue Fei and Huang Gonglie walked into the tent, and Li Lianyu and Zhen Yue got up to greet each other.

Huang Gonglie said: "See the marshal and the army." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Five masters, no need to be formal. ”

Huang Gonglie said: "We fought hard and bloodily, but Tong Guan did not move in Xiongzhou, such a ridiculous court, I really don't want to continue to serve, please Marshal Li allow me to take the corpse of the sixth sister and return to Wuxia." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Five masters, be careful all the way." ”

Zhen Yue said: "Wait." ”

Zhen Yue walked out of the camp tent, came to Pan Ning's corpse, sprinkled the medicine on Pan Ning's body, and said: "These medicinal powders can ensure that the body of the six masters will not be corrupted for three years, please take the six masters back to Wuxia first, and after the army returns to Kaifeng, I and Lian Yu will come to the door to worship." ”

Zhen Yue and Li Lianyu watched Huang Gonglie drive away, and their hearts were very desolate.

Li Lianyu said: "Pengju, why don't you return to the Great Song Dynasty with the five masters?"

Yue Fei said: "Now, the sixth sister has passed away, the fifth brother has left, and the head of Lu has died. ”

Li Lianyu smiled helplessly.

Zhen Yue said: "Tong Guan definitely can't be counted on, Lianyu, why don't you and I go to the Jin Army's Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang respectively and ask the two of them to join me to attack the city." ”

Li Lianyu said: "Today's plan is the only way to do it." ”

The Jianghu army retreated to the border of Song Guoxiongzhou, and after resting for a few days, Zhen Yue and Li Lianyu went to Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan military camps respectively.

Seeing Zhen Yue coming, Wanyan Zongwang greeted him in person.

Zhen Yue said: "See the second prince." In accordance with the previous agreement, return the uniforms and flags of your army. ”

Wanyan Zongwang had already learned that the Song army was defeated under the city of Xijin Mansion, and said: "Zhen Yixian came this time, not only to return the things of our army, but also to speak up about anything." ”

Zhen Yue said: "Song and Jin have been allied for two years, but the Great Song Dynasty has indeed delayed the matter of Song and Jin's attack on Nanjing in the Liao State. At the moment, Tong Guan has a heavy army in his hand, waiting to reap the profits, our Jianghu army can only fight alone, but only relying on the strength of our Jianghu army, it is really impossible to break through the Xijin Mansion, and I hope that the second prince will send troops to help. ”

Wanyan Zongwang said: "This matter involves state affairs, and I am afraid that Lord Dutong will not be able to call the shots." This place is only half a day's journey away from Fengsheng Prefecture, and I will be entrusted to my father and emperor to decide. ”

Zhen Yue said: "In this way, there is the second prince of Lao." ”

Following. Wanyan Zongwang rode his horse to Fengshengzhou, and saw Wanyan Zonghan also coming from afar.

Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said, "Presumably, my cousin's request to see my father today is the same as mine." ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "I was blessed by Zhen Yixian to save my life in the past, and I had a relationship with Mrs. Yang, and it is really difficult for me to accept Mrs. Yang's request. ”

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan met Wanyan Aguta.

Wanyan Zong looked and said, "See my father." ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "See the emperor." ”

Wan Yan said: "Flat." ”

Wanyan Zong looked and said, "Father Xie." ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Thank you, Emperor." ”

Wanyan said, "You two came together today, what's the matter?"

Wan Yan Zonghan motioned for Wan Yan Zong to look forward and speak.

Wanyan Zongwang said: "Enlighten the emperor, the Song army wants to join forces with our army to break through Nanjing, Liao State. ”

Wanyan said: "I heard that the Song army has attacked Xijin Mansion twice recently, but both have been defeated. Song Tingben had an appointment with Dajin in advance, but the Song army repeatedly missed the deadline, causing the plan to attack Nanjing was repeatedly delayed. Now, the Liao State Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, Zhongjing Dading Mansion, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, and Xijing Datong Mansion are all within my Dajin territory, and the five capitals of the Liao State are only one of the Jinfu Mansions. ”

Wanyan Zongwang said: "But my Dajin and the Song court have an agreement in advance, and the seventeen states in front of the mountains and behind the mountains of the Liao State will be returned to the Song State, and the sons are only afraid that after our army struggles to capture Nanjing, the Song Court will sit back and enjoy the success." ”

Wanyan Agu said: "The Song State breached the contract first, and made an appointment to attack and destroy Liao for several years, but it was not out of the division for a long time. ”

Wanyan Zongwang was silent.

Wanyan Agu said: "I want to drive the expedition in person, and the two of you will walk with Wan Yan Gao and Wan Yan Lou with me." ”

Wanyan Zong looked and said, "Yes, Father." ”

Wanyan Zonghan said: "Yes, Emperor." (To be continued.) )
