King of Song

Chapter 280
For some people, this is destined to be a sleepless night, Li Fugui is like this, and Liang Yibu is also like this.

The temporary camp was not as grand as it was before, and more than half of the country's prestige had been lost.

Outside the camp, tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers shivered and evacuated hastily, losing a lot of supplies.Everyone complained about their country ministers in their hearts, and they dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
Liang Yi was buried in the tent and kept pacing back and forth, his face livid, and he was in a state of extreme anger and remorse.

The Xixia army evacuated safely, but the plan to attack Dashun City failed, making the little victory that had just been expanded disappear without a trace.

After paying such huge casualties, at the last moment of capturing Dashun City, reinforcements from the Song Dynasty arrived, and the battle failed!
God seems to have made a joke, it is so ironic!
To Xixia, it might just be an ordinary failure, but to Liang Yibu, it was a fiasco.

The plan to attack Dashun City, capture Lin Zhao alive, and avenge him fell through, which made him gnash his teeth.

More importantly, her elder sister, Empress Dowager Liang, sent him to fight on the border to regain face and consolidate her position, but also failed.

The blow to the head of failure finally made Liang Yibu wake up.

Think about Ye Lihan's correct opinions several times, but they were all overruled by himself.

Desperate for quick success and quick profit, he wanted to capture Dashun City as soon as possible to take revenge, so he dispatched the army arranged by Ye Lihan to ambush him. Now think about it...

Ugh!
Liang Yi was deeply regretful.

Otherwise, ambushing the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty would be an absolute feat.At the same time, if it takes a little longer, Dashun City can be captured.

It's a pity that I was too eager for quick success, so that I missed a good opportunity, which led to very unfavorable consequences.

To be honest, Liang Yibu is a little scared now, how should he explain to his sister, Queen Mother Liang, after returning home?What kind of adverse impact will it have on your own status?
However, a failure finally woke up Liang Yibu, who was somewhat conceited and frivolous. After paying a heavy price, his mind became a little more familiar.Since then, some deeds have changed a lot.

But the anger and hatred in his heart didn't weaken in the slightest. Everything happened because of Lin Zhao, how could he be easily taken advantage of?

revenge!

At this time, Liang Yibu still did not give up the idea of ​​revenge!

Originally, God gave him an excellent opportunity, but he didn't cherish it. Thinking about it makes people angry and regretful.

Now the difficulty is naturally much greater, but it is not impossible!

Sometimes, killing with a borrowed knife can also be revenge!
"Li Fugui, Li Fugui, you ruined my good deed, and now it's time to make up for it, but after all, it's at your expense!" Liang Yi buried a cold smile on his face, full of hatred!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At dawn, Chen Qiao arrived in Dashun City in time!

In the late autumn night, the wind was howling, the temperature was cold, and it was really hard for a scribe like Chen Qiao to travel all night under such circumstances.

However, Li Zhizhou summoned him urgently, and Chen Qiao didn't dare to delay.Especially after learning that the real Lin Zhao had appeared in Dashun City, Chen Qiao was full of astonishment. He had no time to think about it, and he rushed over immediately without delaying a moment.

When he entered the Chinese army tent, Li Fugui was still pacing back and forth. This night, he was doomed to be restless.

"General, my subordinates will die!" Without saying a word, Chen Qiao rushed to Li Fugui and knelt down on the ground, apologizing to Li Fugui.

Although Lin Zhao appeared in Dashun City in a daze, it was beyond his control.But after all, he was the one who was watching, and was deceived by Lin Zhao's blindfold, so that there was such a big omission, which gave Lin Zhao an opportunity.

In any case, he was somewhat responsible for this matter.Even if Li Fugui didn't blame him, Chen Qiao would blame himself.Of course, if Li Zhizhou was in a fit of anger, it would be the best thing to take the initiative to admit his mistakes.

Li Fugui looked at Chen Qiao, who was full of dust and dust, and Chen Qiao who was shivering because of fear or cold, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, sir, it's really because Lin Zhao is too cunning and hard to guard against... Even Mr. Yuanze is quite afraid of him, let alone Mr. You and I?"

Li Fugui was quite magnanimous, and Chen Qiao was a little relieved, but he continued to plead guilty again and again.

"Okay, sir, don't blame yourself, it's really a last resort for you to come here late at night, it's an emergency." Li Fugui was concerned about big things, and didn't care about small things.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Lin Zhao found a showdown, and he wants to cooperate with me..." Li Fugui then told Lin Zhao's words, and asked Chen Qiao to help him refer and judge.

Uh……

When Lin Zhao appeared in Dashun City, there would inevitably be very troublesome results. Chen Qiao guessed that Li Fugui didn't know how to deal with it, so he urgently looked for him.But I didn't expect it to be such a situation. Lin Shaoqing's performance was too proactive, right?
Chen Qiao pondered: "He offered to cover up for the general?"

"Yes!" Li Fugui said in a deep voice: "He said it was to repay Wang Xianggong's favor, and it seems that he also wants to use this matter to return to Wang Xianggong's family!"

"Does the general believe it?" Chen Qiao asked in a deep voice.

Li Fugui said: "Be suspicious, the reason this son said seems to be reasonable, Wang Xianggong is very powerful, the consequences of offending Wang Xianggong are self-evident.

The good magistrate of Qiantang County was dispatched to Hehuang Tubo as an envoy. There were many crises, and it was lucky that he did not die in Hehuang.Presumably he is also retreating now, taking this opportunity to apologize to Wang Xianggong... But this person is cunning, and the matter is of great importance, so he really has to guard against it! "

Chen Qiao was also silent. Lin Zhao's reasons seemed to be sufficient, but there seemed to be many problems in it...

"How is it? Do you think it's cheating?" Li Fugui still relied heavily on Chen Qiao and cared about his opinion.

"General, looking at Lin Zhao's past experience, we can know that this son is not a reckless person. Doesn't he know that he will offend Wang Xianggong by writing a letter against the Qingmiao Law?"

Hearing this rhetorical question, Li Fugui's heart suddenly skipped a beat!
Chen Qiao continued: "Maybe it was impulsive, and I might regret it later, but as for taking such a risk to curry favor with Mr. Wang again? Or, is it necessary for him?"

"How do you say that?" Li Fugui was a little confused.

"Looking at the imperial court, how many people have written to oppose the reform and attack Wang Xianggong? What is the outcome?" After Chen Qiao asked rhetorically, he asked himself and answered: "Almost everyone was relegated, even the son of Fan Wenzheng left Beijing. After going to Sichuan and Shu, Sima Guang sentenced Xijing to stay behind. I heard that Uncle Ouyang Yong’s Qingzhou magistrate would not be able to go on... Who are these people? What happened to Lin Zhao?"

Li Fugui was taken aback when he heard that, Chen Qiao was reminded by Wang Yu because he was ordered to deal with Lin Zhao.If he wants to be victorious in all battles, he must know himself and the enemy, so he knows more about Lin Zhao and has more ideas.

Chen Qiao continued: "Going to Hehuang as an envoy to Tubo can be said to be a distribution, but why not reuse it? Offended Wang Xianggong, not only did the officials not punish him, but instead made him responsible for the important task of winning over Hehuang? The officials did not let Han Jiang come, but let the little Lin Zhao take charge. What does this mean?
Could it be that he was only asked to repay the favor and favor the general?Protect Wang Xianggong?Although the officials love and trust Wang Xianggong, is it so muddled and such a trifling matter for border defense and military affairs?Lin Zhao's treatment has been higher than that of a transit envoy and a Hanlin bachelor. Is this normal? "

Li Fugui had already begun to understand a little bit, and he couldn't help but sweat a little on his forehead!
"Lin Zhao is a different kind. The officials seem to value him very much. Under such circumstances, is it necessary for him to take the risk of currying favor with the king?"

After listening to Chen Qiao's analysis, Li Fugui said after a long time: "So, he is deceiving me?"

The good wishes were shattered, and I had to face this somewhat cruel reality.

Chen Qiaodao: "It's not impossible for him to tell the truth, but it's more likely that it's a trick to deceive the general!"

"A plan to slow down?"

"That's right!" Chen Qiao nodded and said, "He's in Dashun City now. Under the general's applause, what can he do if he knows the truth? He must be able to bring it back. It is very likely that he is afraid The general is not good for him, so he will use this strategy to slow down the army to stabilize the general, and then escape to heaven..."

Li Fugui's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he said in horror: "This kid is really cunning!"

Chen Qiaodao: "These are just my subordinates' guesses, but this is a big matter, the general has to guard against it! By the way, besides this, did he have any special actions? At this moment, any clues Don't let it go, the general thinks about it."

Li Fugui pondered for a moment, then said: "By the way, he has a follower, a lieutenant of the Forbidden Army, who was also fighting in the city, but disappeared after the battle. It is said that he was killed..."

"Follower? Killed?" Chen Qiao immediately tightened his expression, and asked, "Since he was killed, can the body be found?"

"I heard from the defenders that they are looking for it, but I don't know if they found it?"

Chen Qiao's expression suddenly became more serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Immediately send someone to look for it. If you find it, it's fine. If you don't, I'm afraid something big will happen..."

"What?" Li Fugui understood in a blink of an eye, and was instantly terrified!

Chen Qiao sighed in a low voice: "Mr. Yuanze's words are true. This son is truly terrifying. No wonder so many great figures are in his hands..."

"Then what should we do?" Li Fugui became extremely anxious again, after walking back and forth a few times, his eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "This child must not be left behind..."

Chen Qiao's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Li Fugui had murderous intentions!
"But what should we do?" Li Fugui was at a loss as to what to do. Thousands of eyes in Dashun City were watching. If he wanted to kill someone, how easy was it?

At the time of the crisis, a soldier came to report: "Master Zhizhou, someone sent a letter saying that you will be interested!"

"Get lost, don't bother me!" Li Fugui didn't care to read some inexplicable letters at this moment!

The soldier said: "The man said it was related to Lin Shaoqing!"

Lin Zhao?

Li Fugui and Chen Qiao looked at each other, and they became interested immediately!
