Chapter 262 0259 [Han Zhen is here for a visit! 】

Rumble!
Qingzhou cavalry crossed the Yellow River and re-entered Chenqiaoyi.

Han Zhen suddenly reined in his horse. Seeing this, the cavalry behind him also stopped one after another.

Liu Qi asked: "County magistrate, what happened?"

“Chenqiaoyi is a good place.”

Han Zhen looked at the boundary marker of Chenqiaoyi on the roadside and said something incomprehensible.

Liu Qi looked strange. These words reminded him of the allusion to Song Taizu Chen Qiao's mutiny.

Han Zhen ordered: "Get pen and ink!"

pen and ink?

Huang Kai was stunned for a moment, then immediately took out a writing brush and a small inkstone from his arms.

In the Qingzhou Army, even junior officers are required to be literate at least [-] times and carry pen, ink, paper and inkstone with them to facilitate the transmission of military information.

Soon, Huang Kai ground the ink and handed it over respectfully.

Han Zhen turned over, took the brush, dipped it in ink, walked to the boundary monument, and wrote a line of big characters in a flying style.

【Han Zhen is here for a visit! 】

"it is good!"

Liu Qi clapped his hands and praised, "The county magistrate's words are domineering, that's the word..."

He originally wanted to get it back, but after searching for a long time, he really didn't know how to get it back.

Han Zhen's handwriting has always been criticized, and Changzhi County even reminded him more than once, asking him to take time to practice more.

Nowadays, one pays attention to observing characters as well as observing people.

Even Huang Kai, a reckless man, can write beautiful plum blossom regular script.

But there is no way, practicing calligraphy is a hard work. Don't say he doesn't have the spare time, even if he does, he won't be able to practice anything for three to five years.

"I think the county magistrate's handwriting seems to be scrawled, but in fact there is a mystery hidden in the edges of the pen, and there is a faint murderous aura!" Huang Kai touched his chin and commented seriously.

what?
Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but began to doubt his own aesthetics, and looked at it carefully.

If you don't say that honest people flatter you, that's the most convincing thing.

Who would have thought that this reckless man with thick eyebrows and big eyes could also flatter him!
Han Zhen suppressed a smile and waved, "Let's go!"

Everyone got on their horses and drove away.

……

"Report! The rebels are approaching the city!"

The hall fell into silence again.

Song Huizong couldn't care about Zhao Ting at this moment, and was extremely nervous.

Although Zhang Bangchang had just said that the capital city was too high and thick for rebels to break in, he still couldn't help but be afraid.

It was actually the first time that the rebels had beaten them all the way to the capital. Even when the Liao Kingdom was at its peak, it had not been possible.

Once the rebels break into the capital, the consequences...

He didn't dare to think!

Thinking of this, Song Huizong ordered: "Explore again and report again!"

"Yes!"

After the imperial guards left, Song Huizong and all the courtiers anxiously waited for the battle report in silence.

I don’t know how long it took before the Yuzhi Imperial Army stepped into the hall again.

"Your Majesty, the rebels will circle the city and leave!"

gone?

Song Huizong and all the courtiers could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere just now was so oppressive and breathless, it was really torturous.

When he came to his senses, Song Huizong immediately issued an edict: "Pass on my will and order Shizhong Shidao to lead [-] Western troops to the capital to defend the capital."

He finally understood that the Imperial Guards in the capital were completely corrupted and could not fight a war at all.

In the end, the Western Army was reliable.

If it were in the past and the Western Army was allowed to enter Beijing, these ministers of the DPRK and Central Government would definitely come out to oppose it.

The chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms made civil servants wary of military generals.

But now, after what happened just now, they are a little scared.

"Also, Xuantong enters the palace!"

Everyone was shocked, knowing that the official family was going to use Tong Guan again.

Song Huizong's original plan was to replace Tong Guan with Liang Fangping.

But what Liang Fangping did was really embarrassing, and Song Huizong was forced to have no choice but to use Tong Guan again.

……

However, after Han Zhen led his cavalry around the city and left, the imperial troops guarding the city still did not dare to open the city gate, fearing that the rebels would fight back.

After waiting for less than half an hour, he put down the hanging basket and sent out scouts to investigate.

A group of scouts walked two miles along the official road and ran into Li Bangyan.

After walking all the way in the cold wind, Li Bangyan was so cold that he sniffed and wrapped himself tightly in the red cloak.

"Li Xianggong!"

When the Forbidden Army scouts saw him, they were all stunned.

Li Bangyan trembled and asked, "Is there a carriage?"

"No!"

One of the scouts shook his head.

They didn't even have horses, so how could they get a carriage?

"Go back quickly, it's too cold today!"

Li Bangyan said, and walked forward with a dull head.

Several scouts looked at each other and looked at each other.

Didn't it mean that Mr. Li was captured by the rebels and taken away?

After regaining consciousness, they hurriedly caught up with Li Bangyan and walked quickly towards the city gate.

All the way to the city gate, a scout immediately shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, Xianggong Li is back!"

Hearing that Li Bangyan was back, Cao Xiong on the tower thought he had heard wrongly.

Immediately he lay down by the city wall and looked down, and saw a man under the city wall, wrapped in a red cloak, shivering constantly.Who is it if it’s not Li Bangyan?
Cao Xiong was stunned and blurted out: "Ms. Li, why are you back?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew he was going to suffer.

Sure enough, when he heard his voice, Li Bangyan was furious. He raised his head and cursed: "Cao Xiong, you are cowardly before fighting. You run away from the battle. You should be dealt with according to the military law. You should be executed according to the law!"

He was not angry that Cao Xiong escaped from the battle, but that the thief escaped without taking him with him.

He had suffered a crime for nothing, and he was really tortured.

Cao Xiong panicked and immediately ran down from the city tower and opened the city gate himself to greet him.

Although he is a descendant of Cao Bin, when is it now?

Moreover, Jiangmen's status in the Song Dynasty has never been high.

Li Bangyan was the prime minister of the dynasty. If he really wanted to kill him, it would be useless for anyone to do so.

Quickly coming to Li Bangyan's side, Cao Xiong begged in a low voice: "Li Xianggong, please forgive me. I was blinded by lard at that time. You, sir, have a lot of it. Please spare me this incident."

"Humph!"

Li Bangyan snorted coldly, ignored him, and strode into the city gate.

Seeing this, Cao Xiong knew that he was going to bleed heavily this time.

Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet, he caught up with Li Bangyan and whispered something in his ear.

Li Bangyan paused and raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

"really!"

Cao Xiong reluctantly nodded.

Li Bangyan's face softened slightly, he sniffed and said, "For the sake of your sincerity, I will spare you this time."

"Come here, prepare the carriage. I want to enter the palace to face the Holy Spirit!"

……

"Your Majesty, I would like to see Mr. Li!"

"Who?"

In the Yanfu Hall, several heaters emitted waves of heat. Song Huizong, who was discussing matters with the officials, was stunned when he heard the report, thinking that he had heard wrong.

"Li Xiang!"

The noble man repeated it again.

Song Huizong and Liang Shicheng looked at each other and then ordered: "Hurry up and declare!"

Not long after, Li Bangyan strode into the hall and knelt down on one knee: "I have met your Majesty. I have fulfilled my duty and failed to put down the rebels. Please punish me!"

Looking him up and down, he saw that his red cloak was in tatters, with several shocking arrow holes, and his cheeks were stained with gray and black dust.

Such an embarrassing appearance made Song Huizong feel compassionate and said hurriedly: "Ai Qing, please get up quickly. This battle is the result of the corruption of the Forbidden Army and cannot bear a battle. It is not Ai Qing's fault."

He had just learned about the process. The [-] infantrymen had not even seen the rebels, so he abandoned a large amount of baggage and weapons and fled back in panic.

The soldiers have become so corrupt that even if Di Hanchen comes back to life, he will probably be defeated.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Bangyan looked grateful, but secretly happy in his heart.

It's true that his disguise is really useful.

Song Huizong looked puzzled and said: "I heard that Aiqing was captured by rebels, how come..."

"That's true!"

Li Bangyan nodded and said the words he had thought about on the carriage: "After I left the city, I led the cavalry to Chenqiaoyi without stopping. But I didn't expect that the rebels had already laid an ambush here, and took advantage of me to cross the river. , launched a sudden attack."

"I commanded the imperial army to fight to the death, but the army formation was in chaos. Seeing that the defeat was certain, I ordered General Cao Xiong to lead his troops to break out, report the message to Captain Gao in the rear, and stay behind. After a hard fight, he was finally defeated and was counterattacked. I am a prisoner of thieves. I am truly ashamed of my trust in Your Majesty!"

A strange look flashed in the eyes of Wang Fu and Cai You.

You fight to the death and let Cao Xiong break out to report the news?

It’s the other way around!

"If you love me, you don't have to blame yourself. This is not your fault!"

Song Huizong believed it, and after a word of comfort, he asked curiously: "Since he was captured, how did Aiqing escape?"

"It's strange to say that after the rebels learned my name, they treated me with great courtesy."

This was true, even he himself couldn't understand it.

After a slight pause, Li Bangyan continued: "Seeing that the rebels did not cause any harm, I tried to talk to the leader of the bandits. The leader's surname was Han Mingzhen. He was a poor farmer. Although he only had a few acres of thin farmland, he could barely make it. To make a living. But there was a severe drought at the end of summer last year, and the court forcibly levied money from the people, and they couldn't get enough by selling their land. Seeing that they couldn't survive, they killed the officials and rebelled."

Little money?
Wang Fu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Li Bangyan, a traitor, dug a hole for himself through the mouth of a traitor!

It was he who proposed and managed the money.

As a result, because of Ding's money, a great riot occurred in the Northland, and the rebels even went all the way to Tokyo City. What would the officials think?

That's right, Wang Fu got the money for his family.

But hasn’t Cai Jing ever helped officials make money?

I have fished it, and I have fished a lot.

But what will happen to Cai Jing now?
As the saying goes, companions are like companions to tigers!

Sure enough, when he heard the words Ding Shenqian, Song Huizong glanced at Wang Fu subconsciously.

Feeling the official's gaze, a layer of white sweat formed on Wang Fu's back.

Li Bangyan saw this scene and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Wang Fu couldn't stand him, so why didn't he want to kill Wang Fu?

Now that he has the opportunity, Li Bangyan is not willing to let it go.

This is just the first cut, there will be a second cut soon!

Song Huizong had a dull face, showing no emotion or anger, and asked, "What else did the rebels say?"

"The leader of the thieves also asked me to bring a message to His Majesty!"

"What words?"

Song Huizong asked curiously.

"The rebels said that the land of Shandong belongs to him. He also asked His Majesty to prepare money to redeem Liang Fangping, Yang Weizhong, Liu Guangshi and others." Li Bangyan did not dare to add jealousy to these words and answered truthfully.

"How brave!"

Song Huizong scolded angrily.

All the ministers of His Highness also showed angry expressions!
