Monument Yangmen

Chapter 721
Chen Lin got Zhao Guangyi's order, and immediately followed Zhao Guangyi's instructions.

The young eunuchs galloped to the residence of Zhao Pu and the three of them, and knocked on the door of the three of them.

The three rushed to Zhao Guangyi's temporary palace in the temple one after another.

When they arrived at the palace, the sound of silk and bamboo and the singers in the palace had disappeared without a trace, and the faint smell of alcohol was also eroded by the freshly lit ambergris.

Zhao Guangyi sat on the dragon chair with a pale face.

Li Jilong and Li Fang knelt on one side, their faces turning pale.

Seeing these two people appear, whether it is Cao Bin and Yang Qi, or the old man Zhao Pu, the expressions of the three of them all changed.

As the leaders of the Chinese army, their presence here proves that something is wrong with the Chinese army.

Where the problem is, all three of them have the answer in their minds.

After all, Cao Bin and Yang Qi knew Yeluxiu's plan very well, and old man Zhao Pu also believed Cao Bin's words at this moment.

After entering the palace, none of the three spoke.

They expected to hear a better news.

However, Zhao Guangyi's next performance made them feel cold to the bottom of the valley.

Zhao Guangyi stood up, bowed suddenly to salute the three of them, and said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "Three lovers, the Song Dynasty is at stake. Please save the Song Dynasty and the people of Li people."

Needless to say, it must be the worst outcome.

The three stood there in a daze, unable to speak a word.

Since it is in this era where etiquette and law are respected, if a king salutes his subjects, they will not be moved.

Zhao Guangyi glanced at the three people in a daze, got off the dragon chair, kicked Li Jilong and Li Fang each, and growled: "You two sinners, don't hesitate to report all the news, one word!" Tell the three lovers without revealing."

"No need!"

Before Li Jilong and Li Jilong could speak, Yang Qi, who was the first to react, looked at Zhao Guangyi with a calm face, and said indifferently: "What kind of sinners are they? You, Zhao Guangyi, did everything yourself. When it comes to crimes, you are the biggest sinner."

After Yang Qi left this astonishing remark, he glanced at everyone and said with a sneer, "Wait for death!"

After leaving this sentence, Yang Qi left the temporary palace without looking back.

Just two steps away, I heard Chen Lin's sharp cry, "Bold! Come, someone, and take down this traitor who has no king in sight."

In a moment, six figures sprang out from the corner of the palace.

"Bang bang bang..."

There were six dull and heavy sounds in a row.

The figures of the Six Paths who rushed towards Yang Qi disappeared.

Instead, there are six holes in the palace wall.

Just like this, Yang Qi punched these six masters out of the palace and out of the palace, turning them into puddles of flesh.

From this we can see how strong Yang Qi's hands are.

The side view also reflected how strong the anger in Yang Qi's heart was.

"If someone stops me again, I don't mind killing it!"

With his back to Zhao Guangyi, Yang Qi left the palace without saying this.

With the lessons learned from those six big insiders just now, no one dared to stop Yang Qi again.

Chen Lin looked at Zhao Guangyi frequently, and Zhao Guangyi stared at Yang Qi's back, but did not give any order to kill Yang Qi.

Even Yang Qi was arrogant and domineering, rude to the end.

Why did Zhao Guangyi do this?

Zhao Guangyi felt guilty.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were buried in Shuncheng, mainly because Zhao Guangyi insisted on going his own way.

This time, Zhao Guangyi couldn't find someone to help him take the blame.

Because he deprived Cao Bin of the position of commander-in-chief, and he assumed it himself.

Therefore, he has an inescapable responsibility for the funeral of hundreds of thousands of troops.

And before sending troops, Cao Bin tried to persuade him again and again to make him think twice, but he imprisoned Cao Bin and insisted on going his own way.

Zhao Guangyi knew clearly that what he would face next was not only Liao's counterattack, but also civil and military questions from the Song and Manchu dynasties, as well as questions from the common people.

There are even endless mutinies.

Although the forbidden army attached to Cao Bin's sect escaped danger, there were still many generals who were buried in Shuncheng.

The elder brothers and fathers in their family are either guarding the border or sitting in Beijing.

Each of them either holds a heavy army, or has many old ministries.

Once they raised their troops one after another to seek justice from Zhao Guangyi.

I'm afraid Zhao Guangyi has no choice but to commit suicide to thank the world. Not only that, it is very likely that there will be another Chen Qiao mutiny.

So now Zhao Guangyi didn't dare to offend anyone, especially Yang Qi who held a heavy soldier.

Yang Qi domineeringly left the palace.

Zhao Guangyi gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

He turned around, raised Li Jilong's feet again, and said in a deep voice, "Tell Cao Aiqing and Zhao Aiqing about the battle in Shuncheng soon."

Li Jilong and Li Fang told Cao Bin and Zhao Pu everything that happened in Shuncheng in detail.

Cao Bin was obviously embarrassed when he heard that the escaped imperial army voted for Yang Qi.

He glanced at Zhao Guangyi and saw that Zhao Guangyi didn't intend to pursue it, so he pretended he didn't hear about it.

After the whole story was finished, Li Jilong paused, and said in a hoarse voice: "The last plan is to recall the soldiers and horses in Yuguan as soon as possible..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pu and Cao Bin nodded in agreement.

Up to now, the recovery of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures has become a joke.

The only thing that can be done is to defend the Great Song Dynasty as much as possible, and not let the consequences of defeat be further expanded.

Seeing Zhao Pu and Cao Bin nodding, Zhao Guangyi said in a deep voice: "Since the two Aiqings recall Shi Aiqing together, I will order someone to deliver the decree immediately."

Zhao Guangyi ordered someone to deliver the decree to Shi Shouxin, and then asked: "It will take some time for Shi Aiqing to arrive here from Yuguan. The Liao people will probably kill them by noon. What is the best way for the two Aiqings to retreat?" enemy."

Retreat the enemy?
The rest of the city is the guard army. There are many officials and eunuchs in the army, and there are only less than 3 people. How can they withstand the army of hundreds of thousands of Liao people.

Your Majesty, you are a bit whimsical!
Cao Bin and Zhao Pu looked at each other, Cao Bin sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the only thing left to do is to temporarily withdraw from Youzhou City and return to Zhending Mansion. Near Zhending Mansion, there are [-] township braves available. The domestic reinforcements are conscripted. When the Liao people reach the Waqiao Pass, we can defend the pass. Until General Shi returns to help, or until the domestic reinforcements arrive.

When the reinforcements arrive, they will definitely be able to block the Liao army from the territory of our Great Song Dynasty. "

"But……"

Zhao Guangyi hesitated.

He dare not go back!

If he was dragged back by the people and asked where his son was, he would die of shame.

With a cold face, Zhao Pu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, at this point, there is no other choice."

Zhao Guangyi nodded helplessly, "Then follow what the two Ai Qings said, and everything will be decided by the two Ai Qings. I will restore Cao Aiqing's position as the commander of the Chinese army, and will be named the Grand Marshal of the World's Army and Horses to control the world's soldiers and horses.

The country of the Song Dynasty, as well as my life, all depend on Aiqing. "

When Cao Bin heard the words, he had troubles.

What's the use of being promoted now.

Return the world's soldiers and horses as the generalissimo?

Can you call in reinforcements one by one?

"The old minister takes orders!"

Seeing that Cao Bin agreed, Zhao Guangyi was relieved.

Looking at Zhao Pu, he sighed and said, "Zhao Aiqing, during this period, all government affairs will be entrusted to you. After I return to Bianjing, I will definitely reward you generously."

Zhao Pu cupped his hands and said: "The old minister obeys the order."

All the civil and military affairs were entrusted, and Zhao Guangyi was obviously relieved.

If something happens again, it won't be his fault.

I have to admit that Zhao Guangyi is indeed a very good acting emperor.

He messed up the mess by himself, and then successfully threw the mess to Cao Bin and Zhao Pu through the acting of Corporal Li Xian.

At least half of the blame for this defeat has been thrown out.

If anything happens, there won't be many blames on him.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Guangyi said again: "Since the two lovers have decided to withdraw from Youzhou City, it's better to leave sooner rather than later."

Cao Bin and Zhao Pu nodded.

The two went out to order preparations.

As soon as the two of them left, Zhao Guangyi didn't care too much, and immediately ordered Chen Lin to pack up.

……

On the other side, after Yang Qi returned to the courtyard where he lived, he summoned Peng Pai.

"Subordinates see the young master!"

After Peng Pai entered Yang Qi's courtyard, he bowed to salute.

Yang Qi didn't have time to be courteous to him, but ordered decisively, "Li Jilong's army was defeated in Shuncheng, and hundreds of thousands of imperial troops suffered. That idiot Zhao Guangyi deserved to die, but the Liao people never thought about going straight south and slaughtering the people of our Han family. "

"Pass down our military order to order Yang Yanping to lead the Longshou Army and the Fuxing Army, two 10-strong troops, to stick to Yunying, and never allow the Liao people to invade south."

"promise!"

"Pass down our military order to order Yang Yande to lead the Iron Cavalry Army, Yanmen Army, and Ranger Army, with 11 troops, to rush to Tongtaiguan to prepare for the battle."

"promise!"

"Pass down our military order to order Kou Zhun, Lu Duan, Xiang Minzhong, Wang Dan and others from the four northwestern prefectures to cooperate with Du Jin'e and Ma Saiying to recruit all the soldiers in the four northwestern prefectures to form [-] Jin troops and rush to Yunying. , to help Yang Yanping."

"promise!"

"Pass down our military order to order Yang Yanding, Yang Yanping, Yang Yanzhao, Huyan Chijin, and Dong Yue'e to lead 30 troops from the Southern Kingdom to the north immediately. Within ten days, they must rush to the territory of Liao Kingdom."

"promise!"

"My military order, the scarecrow and the volcanic guard, will launch a sneak attack and assassination on all the nobles in the Liao Kingdom from now on. This Liao Kingdom must be turned upside down for me."

"promise!"

"Immediately!"

"Shu~"

Peng Pai knelt down on one knee, saluted Yang Qi, and left the yard without looking back.

After he left, all the scarecrows who were in charge of guarding Yang Qi also left.

They are going to pass orders to all parties, so naturally they need a lot of manpower.

Especially to send orders to the Scarecrow and the Volcanic Guardian, more manpower is needed.

Only Zamahe warriors were left, loyally guarding Yang Qi.

"Oh!"

Yang Qi landed a fist on the stone table in front of him, and the stone table turned into debris at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Zhao Guangyi is an idiot who has no skills, so let me personally meet the Liao people for a while."

……

Yang Qi's order has been conveyed one by one, and it will take time to ferment, and it will also take time for soldiers and horses from all sides to rush to help.

The Liao people's counterattack was getting closer and closer, leaving Yang Qi with not enough time.

Similarly, the time left for Zhao Guangyi is even shorter.

Zhao Guangyi originally thought that the Liao army would not be able to kill them until noon.

But when the day was bright, the Liao army reached Youzhou City.

Before Zhao Guangyi could sit in his luxurious dragon, the Liao army entered Youzhou City.

Cao Bin had no choice but to lead a group of dude soldiers to retreat outside while resisting the Liao army.

Yang Qi and Zamahe warriors were like outsiders, they kept running on the battlefield, not hurting anyone, and not letting anyone hurt them.

A group of defeated soldiers withdrew from Youzhou City.

The Liao people were like bloodthirsty dogs, and they didn't intend to let them go. They chased after Zhao Guangyi and his party, as if they were chasing prey, and they kept biting down from the team full of remnants and defeated soldiers. a piece of meat.

The Liao army seemed to have received some instructions, and was not in a hurry to defeat this group of defeated soldiers. Instead, they played the game of chasing and fleeing with great interest.

This pursuit lasted for three days.

Relying on a group of remnants and defeated generals, Cao Bin escorted Zhao Guangyi and escaped to Tongtai Pass.

Relying on the thickness of Tongtai Pass and the Xiang army rushing to help from Waqiao Pass, Cao Bin managed to stabilize his position.

However, before they had a rest, a bad news came.

The soldiers and horses of the Shi Shouxin Department of the Right Army were cut off by Han Derang and trapped in Yuguan.

And many cities on the right side of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures occupied by the right army Shi Shouxin rebelled and surrendered to the Liao Kingdom.

The reinforcements from the Shi Shouxin Department of the Right Army could not be counted on.

If Shi Shouxin could think of a way to rescue himself first, that would be considered pretty good.

It's really a house leak, side wind and rain all night.

"what!"

Inside Tongtai Pass, [-] subordinate soldiers and [-] Xiangjun soldiers guarded Tongtai Pass strictly.

The Liao army was clamoring outside the city, but they had no intention of attacking the city, as if they were waiting for something.

Zhao Guangyi was also calling, but it was a little different from what the Liao army called.

The Liao army was cheering, and he screamed in pain.

When fleeing into Tongtaiguan yesterday, Zhao Guangyi was shot by a sharpshooter in the Liao army.

He was not killed on the spot, because the place where he was shot had a lot of flesh.

Where Zhao Guangyi was shot was his butt.

In fact, according to the previous plan, they should have fled to Zhending Mansion.

The reason why they stayed at Tongtai Pass was because the emperor was shot by an arrow.

The imperial doctor was helping Zhao Guangyi draw an arrow, and Zhao Defang was circling around Yang Qi.

"Tiger Hou!"

"Ok!"

"Tiger Hou!"

"I heard……"

"Tiger Hou!"

"Your uncle was hit by an arrow, why are you so excited?"

Zhao Defang approached Yang Qi's ear and whispered: "You won't forget our plan, will you?"

Yang Qi rolled his eyes and said calmly, "I haven't forgotten."

Zhao Defang wanted to speak, but Yang Qi took a step ahead.

I only heard Yang Qi say angrily: "Now is not the time."

Zhao Defang said anxiously: "Isn't it time yet? It's all here!"

Yang Qi shook his head, sighed and said: "There is not enough time, I have to rely on you, uncle, to help me buy some time."

"How to fight for it?"

　Thanks for the reward of 'W' one hundred book coins!
