Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1019 The Unpredictability of World Events

In the evening, all the cronies and subordinates of the commander of Zhongyuan Xiangdu, the commander of the nine armies and one hundred thousand forbidden troops outside the city, were all killed. After the remaining generals learned that Zhao Dezhao was still alive, they all declared their loyalty to Zhao Dezhao.

So under Li Mingzhan's plan, Zhao Dezhao easily regained control of tens of thousands of troops inside and outside Kaifeng without bloodshed.Just waiting for Li Jixun to come out and take charge of the overall situation with his prestige in the army.

Inside Zhao Prison, several jailers helped Li Jixun and Lu Yuqing to walk out. After passing a corner, Li Jixun stopped and looked at the opposite side with a complicated expression. He was dragged in without touching the ground, and put into the cell he had just walked out of.Nothing is more unpredictable than this.

Joyful Zhao Dezhao walked into the imperial city slowly, and in just seven days he felt as if he had passed away. Accompanied by Li Mingxuan, Wang Haijiang and Zhang Dong, he walked into the Chongzheng Palace, "Your Majesty! "The empress and all the concubines bowed down. After the seven-year-old prince was stunned for a moment, he lost his voice and said, "Father!"

The young crown prince, or the little Tianqing emperor who had been in office for seven days, ran forward for a few steps, but stopped abruptly. In his heart, the tragic scene of his father walking towards the burning palace was unforgettable. Seeing the person who should have died reappeared in front of him, after the ecstasy, he was immediately full of doubts.In addition, the most important thing is that Zhao Dezhao's violence and bloodthirsty in the past two years made everyone in the palace, including his children and women, fear him like a tiger in their hearts.

Zhao Dezhao looked at his son's pale face with frightened and wandering eyes, and his brows were slightly frowned.Although it was his son, and he arranged it under Li Mingxuan's plan, but this son became the emperor for seven days while he was still alive, which more or less made him feel a little unhappy.

However, looking at his son's innocent eyes, Zhao Dezhao quickly put aside these unhappiness, stepped forward, patted the prince's immature shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty, what have you done these seven days?" Very good!" This short period of seven days is naturally cruel to the young prince who has begun to understand, but it may be a kind of wealth for his future.The heirs to the throne raised in captivity in the deep palace are far inferior to those who grew up in the bloody storm. Only through experience can one understand.

"Master Li Jixun and Lord Lu Yuqing have arrived!" A eunuch came in and reported to Zhao Dezhao.

"Please come in!" Zhao Dezhao walked towards the gate of the palace, and personally greeted this civil and military official who was loyal to him.It's not like he doesn't know how to win people's hearts, this kind of courteous corporal, he even did a good job when he was the prince, but since he became the emperor, in the past two years, he was first insulted by Ye Chen, and then angered by Zhao Pu's dictatorship Putting him on the ground, his psychology became more and more distorted, even abnormal, and he seldom did such things as a corporal.But recently, with Li Siyan's company and persuasion intentionally or unintentionally, coupled with the fact that Zhao Pu's family of rebels were finally wiped out, and he really controlled the court, Zhao Dezhao miraculously improved a lot.This is really similar to a certain psychological or even mentally ill patient getting treatment and miraculously getting better.

"Your Majesty, you have broken the old minister!" Li Jixun and Lu Yuqing knelt down hastily when they saw Zhao Dezhao walk to the gate of the hall, separated by the threshold.

Seeing the reaction of the two, Zhao Dezhao was secretly satisfied. With Zhao Pu's affairs, he would be extremely vigilant and disgusted with the exclusive power of the Prime Minister and the Privy Council Envoy.And Li Jixun and Lu Yuqing, as well as Li Mingxuan who he plans to reuse, all have this ability and possibility.These days, he suddenly remembered the discordant talk that his father had told him back then. He had already figured out that Li Jixun, Lu Yuqing, and Li Mingxuan should restrain each other in the court, and even fight each other openly and secretly, so as to prevent the powerful ministers from coming back again. appear.

"The two lovers, please hurry up, the two lovers have suffered in the past seven days!" Zhao Dezhao helped the elderly Li Jixun, pulled up Lu Yuqing, and then led the two into the hall.Li Mingxuan next to him saw it, and frowned, but didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty! The courtiers and concubines are resigning!" Seeing a group of important officials entering the palace, the queen immediately bid farewell to Zhao Dezhao, took the prince's hand, and retreated to the harem.

.........

Usually at this time, the sky in the Guazhou region of the Western Regions is already bright, but today, there is a rare layer of mist floating around, making the vision more hazy, and the steep edge of Heiyang Peak looks even more sinister A little bit, the mist drifted by, and it was easily torn into pieces, exposing whitish rocks.

In the depths of the mist, there was a sound of dull drums, uniform and monotonous, but it seemed to be moving forward.After the drum beat, a row of soldiers came out of the fog and were displayed under the Black Sun Peak.

Standing on the main peak of Heiyang, one can vaguely see the distant teams gradually approaching with the sound of rumbling footsteps, about four to five thousand in number.Such a long distance, the sound can be so clear, it is entirely because thousands of people are taking uniform steps, rising and falling with the drumbeat, and the ground seems to tremble with each step.

There were no hoarse shouts, no frantic shouts to kill, only boundless silence and extremely depressing solemnity.Dula'alang on the Black Sun Peak trembled slightly. He himself was a powerful member of the Xizhou Uyghur Empire, the commander of the eastern part of the Xizhou Uyghur Empire, that is, his father Dulamati, who was even more famous for his military leadership. in the Western Regions.

But at this time, when he saw the appearance of the Xiangfu army, he couldn't help trembling. Is this the Xiangfu army that is the best in the world?He recently inquired about a lot of news about the army of the Xiangfu Kingdom, one of which said that Huang Dongqiu's Volunteer Legion was the latest legion established in the Xiangfu Kingdom. Xiangfu Kingdom's nine major armies are the least experienced.But seeing that the Volunteer Legion has such a military appearance at this time, what will the other eight major legions of the Xiangfu Kingdom look like.

Tens of thousands of Xizhou Uighur soldiers on Heiyang Peak were involuntarily infected, and the noise gradually became smaller, and even slowly became silent.

Rumbling, rumbling, the infantry phalanx arrived at the foot of the mountain one by one, standing silently.In the distance, there was a louder roar that was completely different from the infantry marching. It was the cavalry of the Volunteer Legion. A large flag with the word "yellow" pierced through the mist and appeared in front of everyone. Teams of cavalry came galloping and lined up behind the infantry phalanx.

Under the banner is Huang Dongqiu, head of the Volunteer Corps?Dula'a Lang opened his eyes wide, trying to distinguish the other party, but the distance between the two sides was too far, a blurred figure appeared, and he couldn't see anything clearly.However, Huang Dongqiu was able to see him clearly because Huang Dongqiu had a telescope.

Putting the binoculars down from his eyes, Huang Dongqiu waved his hands and the drumming stopped, and the loud and clear sound of the horn spread throughout the Siye Mountains. There was deathly silence on top of the peak and below, only the sound of the horn echoed in the air, Du La Alang could hear that the other party was playing a piece of music, and the piece gradually rose from a gentle start, faintly resembling the sound of gold and iron horses.But he didn't know that this was the military song "Serve the country with loyalty" personally set by His Majesty Ye Chen, the Emperor of Xiangfu Kingdom.

Suddenly the drums sounded, and this time there seemed to be hundreds of drums beating at the same time, each blow falling exactly at the lowering point of the horn.The drums and trumpets are in harmony, and the melody is filled with a tragic atmosphere.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The silent phalanx suddenly burst into a sky-shattering roar. Following the roar of the infantry phalanx, the cavalry behind raised their long iron spears. The sharp tip of the spear seemed to pierce the sky and cut through the smog. They also shouted loudly. Shouted: "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

With the sound of shouts, the pervasive mist seemed to be frightened, and with a bang, it dissipated without a trace in an instant. The sun pierced through the clouds and reflected on the army formation at the foot of Heiyang Mountain, covering it with a golden layer. of light.

The Volunteer Corps shouted 'Kill' several times, their fighting spirit and morale had condensed to the highest point, and then they fell silent again. Everyone looked firmly at the winding and only mountain road leading to the top of the mountain.The so-called favorable time, place and people are harmonious, regardless of the time, the harmony of people is already available, but the geographical advantage is not at all.The current terrain and terrain already doomed that today's attack by the Yongjun Corps will be a road to death that is about to be soaked in blood.

As a drummer and a flag bearer beside Huang Dongqiu issued orders at the same time, Dang Fuyu, the commander of the [-]st Infantry Brigade, issued an order, and Ma Zhiyong, the commander of the [-]st Infantry Battalion, platoon, and platoon under his command, stepped out without hesitation. Carrying a large shield, he walked towards the mountain path that was several steps wide. Behind him, the entire platoon of fifty soldiers under his command followed closely, each with a shield in his hand and a gun.After taking a few steps, the platoon leader began to run in small steps, his speed getting faster and faster.

Following his running and jumping figure, the drums around Huang Dongqiu sounded again.

Dula'a Lang looked very solemn, looked back at the soldiers behind him, and said in a deep voice: "The great Lion King said that only those who have the will to die on the battlefield can survive. Faced with such a strong soldier, we have no If you are lucky, warriors, if you want to hold on to this mountain and survive, you must bravely face death!"

Since the day Dongri Maiti participated in the first war with Dula Alang and killed the first person, he has been a guy who dared to die. What is it, but today he looked at the army that was very different from the enemies he had seen before, but for some reason, he was a little hairy, and even the palms that were holding the horses were wet with sweat.

For a long time, facing all kinds of enemies, he has seen those who roared like madmen, and those with red eyes who rushed to their lives, but he had never seen them like leopards in front of them, walking silently. Forward enemies.
