Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1042 Officials retreat

Yang Yizhong got the news and rushed back to Xiangyang City. Wang Xiaolie had already crossed Fancheng on his horse. Yang Yizhong hurriedly looked for a ferry, but where could he find one? I can only stand on the edge of the Han River, looking at the river bank and sighing.

After standing for a while, Yang Yizhong could only leave the riverside bitterly and head towards Xiangyang City.

Dengzhou soldiers were stationed outside Xiangyang City and no one was allowed to pass. At this time, Zhao Gou had been captured by Wang Xiaolie, and Yang Yizhong didn't know what the outcome would be, so he could only stand on the shore and wait anxiously.

Inside the city, Wang Ruohai ordered people to completely clear the palace where the people were standing, and everyone rushed to the courtyard. I found a ginkgo tree in the yard and stood there sullenly. A pair of eyes would glance over the person standing in the open space from time to time.

A soldier walked over quickly and crossed his arms at Wang Ruohai. He said: "Commander, General Yang Yizhong, the leader of the Chinese army, is waiting for orders outside Xiangyang City."

Wang Ruohai looked at the sky and said, "Let him wait!"

Wang Xiaoxue passed the Fankou ferry and immediately collected the ferry boats to prevent others from crossing the river. Then he passed through Dengcheng and went straight back to Dengzhou. When they arrived at Dengcheng, they did not stop, straightened their horses, and headed straight to Luoyang.

Wang Ruohai stood there, saying nothing no matter who asked. He just ordered his Dengzhou soldiers to search for officials from house to house. Once they found someone, they were immediately escorted to the palace yard.

In the evening, Wang Ruohai ordered someone to prepare dinner. Dinner was very simple, just a big bowl of dry rice and a plate of turnips and greens. Share it with everyone, and whether you eat or not depends on your mood. The weather was still hot, so I didn't prepare any extra clothes, so I spent the night in the open space.

Yang Yizhong waited anxiously outside, but no reply came. He couldn't help but walked back and forth anxiously. When it got dark, Yang Yijing said decisively: "We can't wait like this any longer! You lead your troops outside, and I'll go inside!"

After saying that, he hurriedly arranged his manpower, took a few soldiers, and walked in decisively.

The Dengzhou soldiers in the city judged the address of each official based on the paper in their hands, and searched for them one by one. When you find it, take it to an open space. When Yang Yizhong saw the soldiers, his eyes were burning, and he strode towards the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, a guard guard stopped Yang Yizhong. Said: "Tong Minghe, the staff will decide whether to go in or not!"

Yang Yizhonglang said: "In front of the lower hall, Lieutenant Yang Yizhong, things in the hall are too weird today. Come and see what is going on!"

After hearing Yang Yizhong's answer, the guard guard raised his head and took a deep look at him. Said: "Everything follows the rules. Even if the commander comes, you still have to ask the staff whether he agrees. The commander will wait a moment, I will come as soon as I can."

After saying that, he quickly left his guarding position and ran inside.

When he arrived next to Wang Ruohai, he whispered the origin of Yang Yizhong outside.

Wang Ruohai said: "Take him and take him under custody! Before I give the order, you are only allowed to go out and not enter!"

The gatekeepers crossed their hands, sang a promise, and hurried back. When he arrived at the door, he said sternly: "Take them down! Whether they are the palace commander or the staff of the palace front department, they will all be taken down when they come to the palace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dengzhou soldier next to him drew his sword and suddenly rushed towards the guard in front of the palace. The guards in front of the palace were shocked, and some drew their swords to resist. The Dengzhou guard used his backhand to slash the man down with a knife.

Seeing the blood, the guards in front of the palace were frightened into silence. The Dengzhou guards stepped forward, took out ropes and tied up the guards in front of the palace.

Yang Yizhong watched from the side, his eyes slightly narrowed. After a while, some soldiers came forward to tie up Yang Yizhong. Yang Yizhong said in a deep voice: "Did you make it?"

The gatekeeper said: "What's going on? Just follow the orders of the staff. You guys, just follow the orders!"

After saying that, he pushed Yang Yizhong into the palace.

As soon as he arrived on the palace ground, Qin Hui immediately came up to him. He said: "Commander, have you been arrested too?" Yang Yizhong said: "I have met my husband! I didn't know what happened for a moment, but I was arrested by these gangsters."

No matter what the Dengzhou guards who were guarding Yang Yizhong said, several high-ranking officials were guarded aside, and no one was watching over them. Yang Yizhong's hands were tied, which was obviously different from other officials. But everyone was worried, and few people came up to talk to Yang Yizhong.

Qin Hui turned around and looked at the soldiers holding swords and guns around him. He said in a deep voice: "Wang Xiaolie suddenly came with his troops this morning and captured the Holy Lord. According to my opinion, Wang Xiaolie should have taken the Holy Lord to Luoyang. Wang Ruohai is here to look after the soldiers, and I don't know what to do."

Yang Yizhong suddenly raised his head and said, "What did you say? Wang Xiaolie has already captured the official and taken him to Luoyang?"

Qin Hui nodded: "I can't say whether we will capture Luoyang or not. But there is no doubt that Wang Xiaolie only captured one member of the official family!"

After saying that, he sighed deeply, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Zhao Ding walked over and said solemnly: "Suddenly, Wang Xiaolie suddenly rose up and captured the official and went forward. What could he do? After thinking about it, it was just to capture the official and force him to fight with the Jin people. Now. Who can tell what will happen next?"

After saying that, Zhao Ding raised his head and looked at the sky.

Yang Yizhong said: "What should Wang Xiaoxu want to do with us people?"

Zhao Ding shook his head: "I can't tell now. If I say kill him, it's impossible no matter how I think about it. If I want to bring him back to the north, why didn't Wang Xiaolie just take him with him? Leave us here, and leave Wang Ruohai here to watch. How do you want to be treated?"

After saying that, he frowned, not knowing what would happen.

Qin Hui came forward, lowered his voice, and said in Yang Yizhong's ear: "Commander of the Palace, how many troops does the Palace Front Division have?"

Yang Yizhong said, "If you are right now, there are still more than 4,000 people. There are more than 6,000 people who were taken away by Wang Xiaolie's soldiers and cannot go to the battlefield."

Qin Hui couldn't help but look bitter after hearing this. Said: "If the palace commander can command all the soldiers, can they escape?"

Yang Yizhong sighed: "Wang Xiaolie came suddenly without any precautions. Where is the chance to fight back? Moreover, the city is full of soldiers. Anyone who comes with weapons will be captured. Now there are no soldiers, but they can't use any force. Come!"

Qin Hui shook his head and walked slowly to the side.

The night is getting darker and the insects are chirping gradually. There were hundreds of civil and military officials in the square, who were detained in the square with different expressions. In the chirping of insects, various aspects of life are staged. Although they were very sleepy, no one slept.

Wang Ruohai sat there, holding a long knife in his hand and looking at everyone with bright eyes.

There was no talk all night, the sun just showed a touch of fish belly white from the east, and everyone let out a long breath.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped up, and the sound of horse hooves came to a sudden stop at the door. The knight on horseback ran off his horse, entered the door, and ran quickly to Wang Ruohai. He crossed his hands and said, "Commander, Xuanfu has left Dengzhou, everything is fine!"

Wang Ruohai let out a long breath, stood up, and said to the knight: "Thank you for your hard work! You have been delayed a lot this night, please take a rest."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to the officials: "It's still very hard on the road. We are all very tired. I ordered my subordinates to get a bowl of noodles. After everyone has eaten, let's get on the road quickly. We are not going to Luoyang now. How far."
