The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 850 Playing hide and seek
But in the end, Zhao Dongting did not have a definite answer in mind.

After all, the struggle in Kuizhou Road has just begun.Even he couldn't figure out what kind of play Duan Qilin was playing behind the scenes.

What is certain is that only Duan Qilin's every intention is to destroy Song Dynasty.

Time is still passing.

Que Huarong, commander of the garrison military area of ​​Jingjiang Mansion, led the army to Anyuan County and gathered Qiongzhou Army in Ran'an State. After a short rest, he left the city and headed for Yongzhou.

A carrier pigeon flew from Anyuan County and arrived at Deyongzhou City first.

Ran Anguo and Que Huarong defeated the Yue Li army, and the Yue Li army was almost wiped out.

Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang and others who were sitting in the city of Yongzhou were overjoyed when they heard the news.

After a few people discussed carefully, they passed the good news to Changsha.In the victory report, the merits of each general are listed in detail.

Although Mao Xingyan, Zhu Mingkai, Fan Pengyun and others were killed in battle, their military exploits were notable.

All the priests of Wuding Hall fought bloody battles, which is also a remarkable contribution.

When Ran Anguo and Que Huarong led the army to Yongzhou City, the carrier pigeon landed in the palace of Changsha City.

Zhao Dongting, who often sat in the imperial study for a while, saw the secret letter, the solemn expression on his face finally eased a little, and he showed a little smile.

Le Chan, who was even more charming after becoming a queen, was watching from the side, also happy for Zhao Dongting, "Your Majesty, what good news is there?"

Zhao Dongting laughed and said, "Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong, Liu Hongyi, and Ran Anguo wiped out all the fifty thousand troops of Yue Li in Qinzhou. Haha, but in just a few days, they actually wiped out fifty thousand Yue Li troops." No, this is really beyond my expectation. Even if I conquer myself, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do better than them."

He handed the secret letter in his hand to Le Chan, and couldn't stop saying: "Brothers Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong are just scholars, and they dared to lead a large army out of the city to fight a bloody battle with Yue Li's army, and forcibly blocked Yue Li's army in Yongzhou city. In addition, until Liu Hongyi led the garrison of Jingjiang Mansion to arrive, this bravery and courage should be set as an example for the world... Then Zhu Mingkai, who won the Jinshi, is also a talent, and his strategy and courage are the best choices. It's a pity... If he is still alive, I would be willing to make him a commander of the Forbidden Army!"

In the victory report written by Liu Hongyi and others, Zhu Mingkai was the leader in military merit.

If he hadn't led the [-] defenders to block the Yue Li army for such a long time, and led the Yue Li army to the ancient Wanzhai, causing the Yue Li army to suffer heavy casualties.This war will not end so soon.

His death is a pity.

After reading the secret letter, Le Chan also had a smile on her face, and her eyes seemed to bend into crescent moons.

Then he said: "It's a pity that Commander Zhu and others sacrificed their lives... The emperor will reward their families heavily."

"Ok!"

Zhao Dongting nodded heavily and said: "That's for sure. I will reward the generals who have made meritorious service in this battle. I will double the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle! No! Double it!"

Just looking at the good news, he seemed to be able to imagine how brave and decisive the two thousand Yongzhou garrison troops were on the battlefield.

Those defenders who died in battle should set an example in the army.

However, Zhao Dongting did not continue to reward him.

He personally wrote the reply letter, but said that I remembered all the military achievements of the army, and asked Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang, Ran Anguo and others to lead the army westward to resist the Dali army.When peace returns to Guangnan West Road, he will make a reward.

Sitting in Changsha and commanding the overall situation, he naturally knew that an army from Dali had already arrived at Demo Road.

And Zhang Jue also stated clearly in the secret letter that he was powerless to stop the Dali army.

This task can only fall on the heads of Liu Hongyi and others.

Soon, another pigeon flew into the sky.

Yongzhou City.

Liu Hongyi personally went to the gate of the city to welcome Que Huarong, Ran Anguo and their army into the city.

On this day, Liu Hongyi ordered to reward the three armies.

Pigs and sheep were slaughtered in the barracks, and the fragrance was overflowing.

After the people in Yongzhou City learned of the great victory, they spontaneously sent many vegetables and fruits to the military camp.

Although they did not see the scene of the bloody battle outside the city, they also knew that the peace of Yongzhou City was defended by those soldiers with their lives.

Some of the defenders who died in battle were their family members.

The people are sincerely grateful.

If it weren't for the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to block the enemy, they would all be humiliated by the Yue Li army.

But the soldiers of the Song Dynasty did not accept these grains, fruits and vegetables from the common people.

This is a military order.

In the end, unable to bear the enthusiasm of the people, Liu Hongyi even went to the barracks in person.

He said that we are soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and it is our duty to defend our home and country.Your kindness is appreciated on behalf of the entire army.

He asked the people to take those fruits and vegetables home, or to comfort the families of the fallen soldiers.

This victory was fought with their lives.At this time, countless people may be immersed in the joy of victory, but their family members are crying silently.

During this day, hundreds of families in Yongzhou City were squeezed through the threshold by the people.

On Temo Road, the Dali army was still marching eastward.

The chief officer and guard of Temo Road surrendered in Kaesong.

Wherever the Dali army passed along the way, the various tribes seemed to have discussed it, but they were surprisingly silent.

They obviously don't want to be involved in the war between Dali and Song Dynasty.Perhaps, the last time the Zhennan Military Region beat Zhao Bing, they had already suffered a lot.

When Zhao Dongting's reply finally arrived at Yongzhou City, the Dali army had already arrived at Youjiang Road in Deyongzhou.

Their target is obviously the Hengshan Village where Zhao Bing once lived in the Guangwang Mansion.

After Liu Hongyi received the secret letter, he didn't dare to hesitate, Dang Shi, Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong, Ran Anguo and others led the army out of the city and headed towards Hengshanzhai.

Only [-] garrison troops of Jingjiang Prefecture were stationed in Yongzhou City.

Zhu Zongyao and other injured people also stayed in the city to recuperate.

Before leaving, brothers Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong went to Zhu Zongyao's room, said nothing, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Zhao Dongting's secret letter did not say how many people there were in the Dali army, but with Dali's national strength, its army would obviously be stronger than Yue Li's army.They don't know if they can come back alive.

Self Qi.

Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei, and Miao Cheng had already led their army to Ziqi territory.

However, after they arrived in Ziqi, they did not encounter Dali's army.

The Dali army had already bypassed Ziqi County and headed east.

To the east is Yongzhou.

Moreover, in a very large area bordering Ziqi, there are no cities.No one knows where the Dali Army has reached now.

But it can also be inferred that there are only two possibilities for the Dali army to continue eastward.Either attack Hengshanzhai or Yongzhou in the southeast direction, or they want to take a detour in order to go north.

It's just that these two options may put the Dali army in danger of running out of food.

After discussing, Zhang Hongwei and others quickly led the army to Yizhou without any hesitation.

The Dali army must pass through Yizhou if it wants to go north.

Compared with the Dali army attacking Hengshanzhai, they are undoubtedly more worried that the Dali army will detour northward.Because in the Song Dynasty, the troops in each city are actually quite empty.

And if the Dali army really attacked Hengshanzhai, they would still be able to stop the Dali army from continuing to wreak havoc when they went south from Yizhou.

What worries Liu Zhuwen and others is whether the Dali army is just playing hide and seek with them like they did when they attacked Dali.

If this is the case, Da Song is afraid that many cities will be slaughtered.

Within the territory of New Song Tongchuan Prefecture.

Zhang Jue led the army to the Territory of Deluo.

But here, he also failed to encounter the Dali army.

The Dali army marched northward at an extremely fast speed in Luoshi territory.

They and the New Song Army obviously had some kind of conspiracy, and they tried their best to avoid fighting and not to confront the Great Song Forbidden Army.

And this kind of conspiracy, I don't know when it will show its clues.

In short, the south and west of the entire Song Dynasty are completely messed up.

The Xin Song and Dali armies kept playing hide-and-seek tricks, but in various places, Kaesong surrendered one after another.

Duan Qilin has been plotting for a long time, this is really not a problem that Zhao Dongting can easily resolve.

And at this time, the Yuan Dynasty, which had always been eyeing the north of the Song Dynasty, finally revealed its ferocious minions.

Southwest Jingxi Road, West Huainan Road, and East Jiangnan Road each had Yuan armies attacking the territory of the Song Dynasty.The number of soldiers is immeasurable, but there are always hundreds of thousands.

Kublai Khan probably got the help of the clansmen in the Mongolian plateau and the four major vassal states.
