The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 42 I killed thirty iron pagodas last night

The second day of February!

I don’t know whether the dragon raised its head or not, but the official Zhao Fujin raised his head. Fortunately, the court dress and hair accessories in the Song Dynasty were simpler. If it were placed in the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Fujin felt that even if he was a dragon, he would not dare to raise his head like this, otherwise his cervical spine would definitely not be able to bear it.

Zhao Fujin raised his head and looked angrier than ever before!
In the Chui Gong Hall, all the ministers did not dare to show their anger.

"Shilang Li! Do you have to give me an explanation for what happened last night?"

Li Gang's face turned pale and he bowed out: "I am guilty!"

Zhao Fujin waited for Li Gang to continue his in-depth review, but after waiting for a long time, Li Gang didn't say another word.

"Oh, it's over?"

What can Li Gang say?
Are you saying that Yao Pingzhong led his troops out of the city privately without obeying the orders of the Ministry of War?It is said that Yao Pingzhong did not listen to the instructions of the alchemist Si Tianjian and changed the surprise attack plan originally scheduled for the sixth day of February to the first day of February?

Li Gang really couldn't handle the matter of passing the blame. As the minister of the Ministry of War, he had to shoulder the blame!

Seeing that Li Gang was still silent, Zhao Fujin looked at Li Bangyan again: "Prime Minister Li, don't you have anything to say?"

Of course Li Bangyan had something to say. Seeing Li Gang dominate the limelight these days, he had been unhappy for a long time: "I think that Li Shilang's incompetence in commanding the troops not only caused the defeat of our army, but also damaged the morale of our army. The important thing is that it destroyed the results of the peace talks that I have worked hard for many days, and I think that Li Gang should be dismissed from the post of Minister of War and exiled...exiled to Qiongzhou!"

After Li Bangyan finished speaking, he thought that someone from the main war faction would definitely stand up to refute him and speak for Li Gang. He had already prepared for a war of words!
But after waiting for a long time, no one came out.

Even among the military generals who came to visit King Qin, no one stood up to speak!
Li Bangyan was still quite puzzled by this situation, and murmured in his heart: "Are these main war factions frightened by last night's defeat?"

However, Zhao Fujin understood the little thoughts of these people and asked deliberately: "In the opinion of Prime Minister Li, after Li Gang is dismissed, who can take up the post of Minister of War?"

Li Bangyan blurted out without even thinking: "Kai Feng Prefecture Yin Wang Shiyong!"

As soon as he finished speaking this time, Ma Zhong was the first to jump out: "General, I think it's inappropriate!"

Li Bangyan never expected that a commander in charge of Luoyang, Xijing, would dare to speak in the court?
If it weren't for the government's special permission for General Qin to enter Chui Gong Hall to listen to matters, a person like him wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the hall. Now he comes in and listens carefully. How dare he jump out and interrupt?
Li Bangyan was just about to scold him when he heard Zhao Fujin ask coldly: "Why is it inappropriate?"

When the official opened his mouth to ask questions, Li Bangyan could only swallow back his scolding words.

Ma Zhong bowed and replied: "The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is related to the safety of Kaifeng. Although Li Xiangguo spared no effort to promote the peace talks, he had to guard against the failure of the peace talks and the situation of swordsmen meeting. Therefore, the general thought that the Minister of the Ministry of War This position needs to be filled by a veteran to be worry-free!”

As for Ma Zhong, he would just have to name the famous cultivator!
Zhao Fujin's face became a little kinder, and he pretended to think deeply for a moment: "Ma Tongzhi's words are somewhat reasonable. What do Li Xiang think?"

What can Li Bangyan say?
Are you saying that he is unworthy of Master Zhongdao, or are you saying that your peace talks are foolproof and will never make any mistakes?
He dare not!

He could only laugh awkwardly and say: "It all depends on the officials!"

Zhao Fujin finally smiled and said: "In that case, I propose that Zhong Shidao be appointed as the Minister of War, commanding all the troops inside and outside Kaifeng City. Can Senior General Zhong be okay?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhong rushed out of the queue, bowed and said: "Master, take the order!"

"As for Li Gang, he was incompetent in commanding the army, which led to the defeat last night. He was dismissed from the post of Minister of War... As for exile, I think it is not necessary. During this period, Li Qing has been staying up and down, renovating the city defense, and also at Xishuimen and Jujube. The Jin army was defeated in two battles, and the merits and demerits were equal. I stayed in the Ministry of War and served as a supervisor for General Zhong, taking charge of matters such as food, grass, baggage, and military discipline and laws!"

After hearing this, Li Gang was convinced and bowed to thank him: "I should follow General Zhong and protect me in Kaifeng!"

After hearing this, Zhao Fujin smiled and nodded: "I hope you two can work together, but don't let me down again!" Then he looked at Li Bangyan: "After leaving the court, Prime Minister Li will draft the document and print it out!"

Li Bangyan asked again: "How should Yao Pingzhong deal with it?"

Zhao Fujin waved his hand: "I have been fooled. Let's wait until we come to our senses before retreating from the court!"

……

……

In the mighty army barracks, Han Shizhong slapped the door and shouted: "Let me out! I killed dozens of enemies last night, why should I be locked up!"

The deputy general waiting outside smiled helplessly: "General, you said it yourself, this is military law..."

Han Shizhong finally stopped shouting, glanced at Yao Pingzhong, who was lying on the straw bed in despair, and spat and cursed: "Then give me another place to be detained, and put me in prison with this coward... bad luck!"

Hearing no response from outside, Han Shizhong curled his lips, sat down helplessly next to Yao Pingzhong, patted Yao Pingzhong on the shoulder and asked: "Hey, are you still stupid? I said you have been fighting in the Western Army for more than ten years, what? You’ve never seen Zhenzhan before, so you’re scared?”

Yao Pingzhong rolled his eyes at him, turned away without saying a word!

"Hey, why do you still look down on people? Let me tell you, when I took care of you last night, I killed thirty iron pagodas. Are they so scary? Aren't they just children of father and mother, mortal bodies? One shot at a time, You must die for me! Look at you again, you are a coward!"

Yao Pingzhong finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he turned over and sat up: "Han Shizhong, right? When I was killing the enemy as a general in the Western Army, you were still a soldier!"

"Oh, I killed thirty iron pagodas last night!" Han Shizhong pulled out a piece of thatch and held it in his mouth!
"I've killed more people than you've ever seen!"

"Well, I killed thirty iron pagodas last night!"

"Why don't you have any brains and you still call me a coward? Are you worthy?"

"Ah, I killed thirty iron pagodas last night!"

"You fucking..."

Yao Pingzhong stopped talking. He felt that Han Shizhong, an idiot, could not talk to him at all!

After a few hours, seeing that Yao Pingzhong still didn't say a word, Han Shizhong, who was extremely bored, finally couldn't hold it in anymore: "Xiao Xianggong, I have heard of the reputation of the Yao family army back then. If the officials hadn't said you were planning to escape, Go to Shuzhong and ask me to stop you on the west side of Kaifeng. I don’t believe you will escape at all. Tell me, what terrible thing did you see? You are so frightened that you don’t want to be an official or a soldier. Already?"

Yao Pingzhong, who was originally lying on his side facing the mottled wall, was startled and sat up: "What did you say? Did the officials ask you to stop me on the west side of Kaifeng?"

Han Shizhong nodded: "Yes, the officials said that you are going to flee to Shu, and you want to be a Taoist priest..."

Yao Pingzhong was stupid. When he escaped last night, he really didn't think about escaping to Shuzhong. He just wanted to stay away from Kaifeng, escape to the west, and then escape back to Shaanxi.

The idea of ​​​​escape to Shu was something he only thought of after he was rescued by the mighty army last night.

How did the officials predict the future?
"Harm, Xianggong Yao, what the officials know is too much!" Han Shizhong stood up and stretched his muscles, looked at Yao Pingzhong with a smile and asked: "Xiangong Yao was not right about the surprise attack on Jinying on the first day of February. Did someone say that?”

Yao Pingzhong was startled again and felt cold sweat breaking out all over his body!
