The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 37 Qinzhou Recovery
When Wang Luan heard that he was from Dazhou, he reacted quickly, and immediately drew his saber and slashed at Gao Huailiang.

But someone was faster than him, and a large cold steel knife was already on his neck.

The two guards following him had already been subdued.

Several archers in Zhou Jun aimed at them with their bows and arrows, and whoever dared to move would become a hedgehog.

"Blind Zhang, you dare to collude with the enemy and treason the country." Wang Luan glared at Zhang Huhu.

"I hate who says I'm blind the most. Besides, I'm from the Central Plains, so how can I talk about traitors? Now I'm just throwing away the dark and turning to the bright."

Zhang Hu pointed at Wang Luan with a knife and said, once the hatred erupted, if Gao Huailiang hadn't been by his side, Wang Luan would probably report to the Palace of Hell.

"You don't have to point at your soldiers anymore. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. I believe they have already surrendered. As for you, I will hand you over to my family. General Zhang, you have contributed a lot this time. I will play to my lord." Gao Huailiang said.

"Then I would like to thank General Gao." Zhang Huo was flattered in his heart, he did not expect that he would make meritorious deeds so soon.

"You and I are both courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so there is no need to be polite." The two of them exchanged polite words, and then Gao Huailiang sent someone to inform Zhao Xu immediately.

Besides, Wang Luan's 2000 troops were surrounded by hundreds of archers, squatting on the ground one by one, listless, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Of course, there were still some people who were resisting, but they were all shot. At this time, Gao Huailiang and the others appeared here with the captured Wang Luan.

"General Wang, you know what to do, it depends on your performance." Gao Huailiang said to Wang Luan with a smile.

Wang Luan knew in his heart that he was asking himself to order those soldiers who resisted to surrender.He didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help himself and couldn't help it. Who would think that Daozu was a fish!
He bit the bullet and came to the surrounded soldiers:

"Brothers, listen to me, give up resistance and surrender, don't make unnecessary sacrifices, think more about your wife and children at home."

It was difficult to speak at first, but after finishing the first sentence, it became more and more smooth. .

My boss has said so, why am I still insisting, some soldiers who were still resisting threw their weapons on the ground and surrendered! .

Seeing that Wang Luan and his group were dealt with without much effort, Gao Huailiang was not to mention how happy he was.

In less than an hour, when Gao Huailiang heard that Zhao Xu had arrived, he immediately went out of the city to meet him.

Zhao Xu rushed from Huanghua Valley to meet his father Zhao Kuangyin and further besieged Qinzhou. Coincidentally, he happened to pass through Tangcang Town.

"Principal, you see we took down Tangcang, and also captured Wang Luan, the envoy of the Dyeing Institute."

"Uncle Gao, you've done a good job. This time is a great contribution." Zhao Xu said happily to Gao Huailiang.

Even Miao Xun kept nodding:
"I was a little worried when my lord asked you to come here, but now it seems that I was too worried." After finishing speaking, he couldn't stop shaking the feather fan in his hand.

"The principal and the policy envoy have won the award. This time, it is thanks to the help of General Zhang here. If it weren't for him, it would not have been so easy. General Zhang is our vice capital, Lord Yuhou."

"Resigned general Zhang Huhu sees your lord." When Zhang Huo heard that Zhao Xu was the young man Gao Huailiang often talked about, he bowed down without saying a word.

Zhao Xu saw that this man was also an honest man, so he quickly helped him up:

"General Zhang, please hurry up, this is a bad boy. The general abandons the dark and turns to the light, and surrenders to our great Zhou. It is an act of obedience to the people. Besides, the general has made great achievements, and His Majesty will definitely reward him."

As he spoke, he patted Zhang Huo on the shoulder, as if the elders were educating the younger generation. It looked very awkward, but Zhang Huo took it for granted.

Gao Huailiang waved his hand, and several people escorted Wang Luan over. Seeing Zhao Xu, Wang Luan became even more depressed.

He had met Zhao Xu in the Yellow Flower Valley. At that time, Zhao Xu's heroic appearance completely broke his courage, so he fled here desperately.

"Principal, it's really easy for us to capture so many prisoners this time without much effort!" It was a small captain who spoke.

Zhao Xu looked at him and said:
"This time you have made a great contribution and won the face of our Forbidden Army Military Academy. The emperor will be very happy, and rewards will definitely be indispensable. Just wait, everyone, hahaha."

When everyone heard what the principal said, they all smiled.

Everyone laughed, but Wang Luan beside him was ashamed and angry. He shouted sharply: "Traitor, kill me!"

Zhao Xu walked to Wang Luan's side: "This is Mr. Wang Luan, the envoy of the Dyeing Institute? Mr. Wang said goodbye in a hurry the day before yesterday, but I feel sorry for you. Now that we are better and meet again, we can catch up on the old days.!"

Wang Luan was even more ashamed when he heard this. Although he surrendered, he still felt ashamed after hearing this.

Rolling his eyes, he collapsed to the ground.In order to be the most jealous and narrow-minded, Wang Luan's defeat was not a loss.

However, Zhao Xu cursed in his heart: "No wonder, you lost. It's unacceptable to be undefeated at this level. In history, you died. Now you are still alive and well. You should thank me very much."

Li Jin, who was confronting Wang Jing in Maling, still had the confidence to defeat Wang Jing, but when he heard that Wang Luan was defeated and fled in Huanghua Valley, he became timid.

He is not as good as Wang Luan, he knows how much he has, how long he can last even if Wang Luan is defeated.

Thinking of this, he gave full play to the mentality of running away when he was timid and afraid of death.

Why are you still guarding Maling Village? Let's go!

He thought so much, and even more so, Li Jin immediately led his soldiers to abandon the village and flee.

Wang Jing was still puzzled. Although he had the upper hand, it was still very difficult to win Maling Village.

But why did Li Jin withdraw his troops by himself? Could it be a conspiracy?

Forget about it for now, let's talk about occupying Maling Village, and soon the Fengxiang Army completely occupied Maling Village.

What Li Jin didn't expect was that his escape would also cause a chain reaction. The Shu army next to him saw that they had withdrawn, and started a big retreat without saying a word.

Zhou Jun didn't care so much, I will chase after you retreat, anyway, my troops are more numerous than yours, so why not be afraid.

The leaders of Li Tinggui and Yin Shenzheng are still waiting for the Houshu Army to bring them good news.

But the news came, but it was not good news. It was the news that the battle was defeated and all the three armies were defeated.

And Da Zhou's army is about to encircle Qinzhou City on three sides.

This is not bad, Li Tinggui and Yi Shengui immediately ordered their bodyguards to escort them to escape.

Why run away, don't run away and wait for Zhou Jun to come, you go and stop them.

So they escaped from this dangerous place like a cloud of smoke, and ran hundreds of miles a day, which was faster than a thousand-mile horse.

Yi Shenyu fled back to Chengdu and reported to Meng Chang that Zhou's army was very brave and our army could not resist, so let's negotiate a peace!
Although Meng Chang was hesitating, in his heart he didn't want to fight Hou Zhou anymore. Once the war broke out, he didn't even have time to drink and have fun.

Li Tinggui, Gao Yanchou and other generals withdrew from Qingniling (now south of Huixian County, Gansu).At the same time, when they heard that the Houshu army in Maling and Baijian had only retreated, they were not defeated, so they blew their beards and stared angrily.

But after hearing the news, it was already very late, and the situation in Qinzhou was already in jeopardy.

Due to the retreat of Li Tinggui and Yi Shenyu, Qinzhou City has become an isolated city, surrounded by the army of Hou Zhou.

Han Jixun, who was originally dismissed by Meng Chang, was still Jiedushi at this time. After Zhao Jizha was killed, he resumed his original post.

At this time, he was walking back and forth in the Jiedushi's Mansion in Qinzhou City.

"You all withdrew, let me take the place of the dead ghost here, there is no door, I am not stupid, how can I keep you all gone, maybe Zhou Jun..."

The more Han Jixun thought about it, the more frightened he became. After thinking about it, he had a decision in his mind.

He summoned the generals of Qinzhou City and said to them: "Oh, our Qinzhou City is very dangerous now, surrounded by the army of Dazhou, and now General Li Tinggui and the others are also retreating to Qingniling, which is far away."

He turned around and looked at the generals in front of him, and continued:

"So for the sake of the young and old in Qinzhou, I decided..."

"You decided to defend Qinzhou City with us, are you a general?" He asked loudly before he could finish speaking.

"Ahem, this general decided to lead a team of elites to break through the Zhou army and return to Chengdu, asking His Majesty to send troops again."

Han Jixun didn't blush when he said this.

Everyone understands that he is running away in an aboveboard manner, if he escapes, he will run away, and he needs an aboveboard reason, what the hell.

With such a general, how can Qinzhou hold on?Han Jixun fled Qinzhou City with his confidants and generals in chaos.

Observer judge Zhao Yu is now in charge of Qinzhou's defense work, and he knows that Qinzhou City must not be defended.

Zhao Yu was originally a local official of Qinzhou. When Qinzhou was transferred to Houshu, he was an official in Qinzhou.

Later, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, Hou Shu appointed a large number of local officials. The low-ranking official back then has also been promoted several times now.

Although he is in Houshu, his heart is in the Central Plains. His ancestral graves are all in the Central Plains, and he always wants to return to the Central Plains.

Now may be an opportunity, Qinzhou is definitely unable to hold on, it is better to surrender voluntarily, so that maybe he can leave a good name.

Just at this time, a young man and a man who looked like a scholar came to his mansion with several followers.

After talking for a long time, they left, and Zhao Quan ordered all the officials in Qinzhou City to be invited to his mansion.

Show them your strength;
"The imperial court doesn't care about us, and several generals have left. What should we do? How can we defend? How can we defend with our strength? We can't escape. Our home is here, so I decided to surrender. What do you do? look?"

Everyone also understands that it is impossible to defend Qinzhou with just a few of them, but there is no one to take the lead in surrendering.

After observing the judge Zhao Yu's words, they became more determined to surrender. They would be fools to move forward knowing that it was a dead end.

So Zhao Yu announced that Qinzhou would surrender to Da Zhou, and when he came to pick up Wang Luan, he heard that he was from Da Zhou, and his reaction was relatively quick, so he immediately drew his sword and slashed at Gao Huailiang.

But someone was faster than him, and a large cold steel knife was already on his neck.

The two guards following him had already been subdued.

Several archers in Zhou Jun aimed at them with their bows and arrows, and whoever dared to move would become a hedgehog.

It was Zhao Xu who took Qinzhou back, and Chai Rong also received the news that Qinzhou was taken back, and Long Yan was very happy.
