The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 849
Que Huarong led the cavalry to chase Yue Li's defeated army to the edge of the mountains before giving up.

It is impossible to count how many Yue Li soldiers fled and scattered.But after Que Huarong led the soldiers back and cleaned the battlefield, he couldn't stop laughing.

In this fight, more than two thousand soldiers of Yue Li died in battle.More than [-] garrison troops of Jingjiang Mansion were killed.

Many of the more than 500 soldiers who died in battle were beheaded by the masters of the rivers and lakes in the Yue Li army.

But the really surprising harvest is the two generals in the gold armor of Yue Li's army.They were all killed in battle, and they each carried half a Tiger Talisman.

After crossing Li Junshuai's flag, he fell not far from them.

Obviously, this is the head and deputy coach of Yue Lijun.

Que Huarong did not expect that he would catch such a big fish by the river.For him, this was an unexpected awakening.

Because this Yue Li army ran into it entirely by itself.

Apart from Chen Guojun and Ho Zishi, there are also many Yue Li generals with complicated armor patterns who will sleep in this place forever.

This defeated army can be described as having a very high gold content.

Que Huarong was originally annoyed that he hadn't lost more than 500 soldiers, but at this moment, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

He ordered his soldiers to collect the tiger charms and armor of Chen Guojun and others, and after gathering the corpses and burning them, he led the army across the pontoon bridge to Anyuan County.

So far, Yue Li's [-] attacking Song army was completely wiped out.

This is beyond anyone's expectations.Even Zhao Dongting in Changsha would never have imagined that Liu Hongyi and the others would be able to defeat Li Jun in such a short period of time.

Among them, Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong, Zhu Mingkai and others certainly contributed a lot.

If they hadn't blocked the Yueli Army outside the city of Yongzhou, the Yueli Army would have obtained Yongzhou, and it would never have been so easy to defeat the Yueli Army.

This victory was won with their blood and tears.

In comparison, although Ran Anguo's Qiongzhou army wiped out nearly half of Li's army, their contribution was not as great as Zhu Haiwang's.Even if it is the garrison army of Jingjiang Mansion, it is not as good.

Of course, this does not mean that Guangnan West Road will return to calm.

An army from Dali entered Temo Dao, and Zhang Jue was out of reach.Sooner or later, this army will have to compete with Liu Hongyi and the others on the battlefield.

Changsha.

Carrier pigeons landed in the palace one after another.

The little eunuch Yi Shiyu hurried into the imperial study several times.

Zhao Dongting was sitting in the imperial study, with Le Chan and Eunuch Liu as companions.Xuanxue, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, was also announced to the Imperial Study Room.

Zhao Dongting's expression was not very good-looking.

After the Xin Song army entered Kuizhou Road, they actually avoided the heavy city and did not confront his forbidden army.This was beyond his expectation.

And one after another the cities were invested in the Xin Song Dynasty, which made his heart burn even more.

He asked himself that he was very good to the officials and common people in the world.Although Kuizhou Road was regained not long ago, many policies are biased towards Kuizhou. Unexpectedly, these guys would vote for the New Song Dynasty.

"Xuanxue."

Looking at the urgent report on the military situation on the desk, Zhao Dongting frowned and raised his head to ask Xuanxue, "So many places have surrendered to the enemy, why didn't the Military Intelligence Department receive any news before?"

He actually likes Xuanxue's ability to work, but this incident undoubtedly still makes him feel dissatisfied.

He has told Xuanxue several times to pay attention to the movements of domestic officials.

It stands to reason that the officials in these places voted for the New Song Dynasty by no means on a whim.There's no reason MIB should not get any intelligence.

Xuanxue knelt on the ground, "This humble official has neglected his duty... I hope the emperor will punish me!"

In fact, she also felt weird.

All of a sudden, so many places voted for the Xin Song Dynasty, but her spy in the Kuizhou Road did not come back with any news of anything wrong.

Zhao Dongting's voice was low, "I'm not going to punish you, and it's useless to punish you now. I just want to know why!"

Xuan Xueqiao showed a little shame on her face, "I have told the spies in Kuizhou Road to investigate carefully, but...they did not find anything unusual."

Zhao Dongting frowned even tighter in an instant, and stopped talking.

Did you find anything unusual?
Even when Zhao Xian was assassinated and the Bauhinia Villa was in chaos, he ordered the Military Intelligence Department to secretly investigate officials from all over the country.At that time, Xin Song and Dali had no signs of attacking Song.

If the spies of the Military Intelligence Department really failed to find something wrong, it could only be that Duan Qilin had secretly informed these officials who had voted for Xin Song before that.

It is even possible that these people may have been lurking in the Song Dynasty for a long time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongting couldn't help murmuring in a low voice: "Duan Qilin, you played such a big chess..."

Secretly communicating with officials, instigating Zhao Bing to cause chaos, supporting Zhao Bing to proclaim himself emperor, Lian Yuan assassinating Zhao Xian, and ordering Zijin Villa to target Wu Dingtang, these series of things turned out to be preparations for the current attack on Song Dynasty.And uniting Yueli, Xinsong and Dali to attack with all their strength, this is undoubtedly the last and deadliest ultimate move.No, there was also the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty had also stationed large troops in Huainan West Road and Jiangnan East Road at this time. This must have something to do with Duan Qilin.

Even Zhao Dongting couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart at this moment.

Da Song's situation is more serious than he imagined before.

Not to mention whether Yue Peng, Zhang Jue, Wen Tianxiang, Su Quandang, Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang and others could withstand the attacks of the Xin Song, Dali, Yueli, and Yuan dynasties.The chess pieces that Duan Qilin buried in the Great Song Dynasty may not be the only ones that popped up in Kuizhou Road. Maybe, the Great Song Dynasty will continue to cause chaos.

This kind of chaos may even spread to the hinterland of Song Dynasty.

There is danger everywhere.

As long as there is a problem in a certain link in Da Song, it may be forever.

Duan Qilin really took great pains to play this game of chess, and it took too long to think about it.

Zhao Dongting was very fortunate that he had crossed over here, built an extremely strong army, and held the general power firmly in his hands.Otherwise, Da Song might be in turmoil at this time.

"Pseudo secret letter!"

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Dongting turned his head and said to Eunuch Liu: "Yue Peng, Du Hu and others must strengthen their defenses and not take it lightly. The main thing is to defend Dazhou and Chongqing first. Before clarifying the intention of the New Song Army, you must not lead the army lightly. Out of town!"

Eunuch Liu hurriedly wrote a letter.

Zhao Dongting looked at Xuanxue again, "The Military Intelligence Department continues to keep a close eye on officials from all over the country, and this situation must not happen again!"

"Yes!"

Xuanxue bowed her head and accepted the order.

Zhao Dongting stopped looking at her, and shouted to the outside of the house: "Xuan the supervision order, come here!"

The eunuch's answer sounded outside the house, and then footsteps hurried away.

Xuanxue stood up and left.

After Eunuch Liu drew up the secret letter, Zhao Dongting stamped it and asked Yi Shiyu to quickly send it to Chongqing and Dazhou respectively.

Not long after, Zhang Shijie rushed to the imperial study, "My minister Zhang Shijie kowtowed to the emperor, and the emperor has ten thousand..."

"no."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said: "Master Zhang, immediately send an order to supervise the officials in various places of the province. Re-conduct the political review of county magistrates, guards and above officials. Their backgrounds and experiences must be investigated clearly. Especially on Kuizhou Road, I expect you to supervise the provincial officials who have the power to mobilize the defenders for the time being, and anyone who finds abnormalities in the political review will be put under house arrest first!"

Zhang Shijie was a little confused.

It's just that the political trial was abnormal and he was placed under house arrest. He didn't know why Zhao Dongting, who used to be quite gentle, suddenly became so... hard.

Zhao Dongting saw the surprise and doubt in his eyes, so he handed over the secret letter on the desk, "Look at these secret letters!"

Zhang Shijie took the secret letter, glanced at it a few times, and exclaimed, his face turned slightly pale.

There are so many places in Kuizhou Road that invest in Xinsong. Before this, even he hadn't received any rumors.

And in these places, there are officials who supervise the province.

Now it seems that the officials in the province he supervised have either already voted for the Xin Song Dynasty, or their personal situation is not optimistic.

After all, although the officials in his supervisory province have the power to enforce the law, they do not have military power in their hands.

At this moment, he certainly understood why Zhao Dongting suddenly gave him the right to supervise the provincial officials to call the defenders.

"I'm going down to deliver the order!"

After putting the secret letter back on the desk, Zhang Shijie, who was sweating on his forehead, didn't dare to hesitate, and was about to leave immediately.

"Ok!"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "I will send letters to Jiedu envoys and appease envoys from all walks of life, and ask them to give you the right to call the defenders to the officials of the Supervision Province!"

Zhang Shijie backed out in a hurry.

Zhao Dongting asked Eunuch Liu to draw up an order.

On this day, secret letters and imperial decrees continued to leave Changsha City and head towards various places in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting only hoped to suppress the turmoil in the court to a minimum.

He didn't bother to study why the New Song Army didn't confront the Forbidden Army until he was done with these things.

Are you afraid?

Or is there some other attempt?
