Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1058

Bai Canghai shuddered, bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, suppressed the desire in his heart, chose a direction along the bottom of the cliff, and left quickly.

After Bai Canghai disappeared, a figure suddenly emerged from the small lake, looking at the direction in which Bai Canghai disappeared, with an inexplicable expression on his face, a pair of eyes faintly purple, looking so strange.If Yu Daoxiang, Queen of Xiangfu Kingdom, saw this person's eyes at this moment, she would be shocked, because the purple eyes are a sign of great magic power.

That's right, this person is Cui Xi, the contemporary Demon Lord. He actually hid in the small lake. Didn't Shangguan Bingyun crawl out of the small lake just now? take away?

"What, Zhao Pu is still alive, how is this possible, you clearly told me that Zhao Pu is dead." In Kaifeng, Song Emperor Zhao Dezhao looked at Zhang Dong, the chief envoy of the Song Weifu, in Kaifeng.

Zhang Dong plopped down on his knees and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. According to the news sent by the spies lurking in the Jiangnan camp, Zhao Pu suddenly appeared in the Jiangnan camp. The commander of the Jiangnan camp and the navy All the generals above were summoned to meet Zhao Pu."

Zhao Dezhao's originally handsome face distorted in an instant, and he swung his arms violently, pushing all the messy things on the imperial case, such as memorials, pens and ink, to the ground, pointing at Zhang Dong, and shouting loudly: "That day, you clearly told me that Zhao Pu That old thief is already dead, it is said that he has been buried in the sky prison of Dali Temple, and later that Dali Temple Minister Wang Minghui even told me that Zhao Pu's body was found, what is going on?"

Zhang Dong hurriedly said: "I also listened to Lord Wang's words and thought that Zhao Pu was dead. Unexpectedly... Could it be that Lord Wang actually deceived the king."

Zhao Dezhao was furious immediately, and shouted: "Wang Minghui... come, someone, go and escort Wang Minghui into the palace for me, I want to ask him personally."

Not long after, the bodyguard who went to escort Wang Minghui came back in a hurry, knelt down to Zhao Dezhao and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang has hanged himself at home."

Zhao Dezhao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What, Wang Minghui committed suicide."

Zhang Dong took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, most likely Wang Minghui was Zhao Pu's old party that was left behind in the court. Now that the incident happened, he committed suicide in fear of crime."

Zhao Dezhao was trembling with anger, and said: "He thought he was dead, so I won't pursue this matter again, Zhang Dong, with my will, you arrest all Wang Minghui's clan and kill them all. "

How could Zhang Dong dare to say no in front of Zhao Dezhao, who was obviously furious and lost his mind, and immediately said without hesitation: "I obey the order."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dong hurried away. He faintly heard Zhao Dezhao yelling at people to call Prime Minister Li Mingxuan, Counselor Lu Yuqing and Privy Council Envoy Li Jixun into the palace.Then a eunuch chased after him and said to him: "Master Zhang, Your Majesty asked Master Zhang to hand over the killing to the people below. Let Master Zhang go back and discuss military and state affairs after the Prime Minister and the others enter the palace."

Zhang Dong agreed, left the palace, called his subordinates to arrange people to kill Wang Minghui's family, and then entered the palace again.Not long after, Li Mingxuan, Li Jixun and Lu Yuqing also hurried into the palace.

In the third year of Tianding in Xiangfu Kingdom, on February 20th, Song Emperor Zhao Dezhao ordered Li Jixun to go to Jiangbei in person, commanding 15 forbidden troops in the capital, [-] forbidden troops in the state capital, [-] Xiang troops, and [-] naval forces from all over the Jianghuai River. The [-] troops launched an attack on the [-] troops under the command of the navy commander Wen Zhanhui and the Jiangnan battalion commander Sun Meishi.

The battle lasted for half a month, because Li Jixun's impromptu fleet was uneven, and it was defeated by Wen Zhanhui's navy on the Yangtze River, and almost the entire army was wiped out. At that time, the pontoon bridge erected during the attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty was unsuccessful. As a result, the follow-up troops did not keep up.

So far, in less than a month, the court of the Song Dynasty not only lost nearly 8 people, but also lost the ability to send troops to the south of the Yangtze River again in a short period of time because of the heavy losses of the navy in their hands.

When the news reached Kaifeng, Zhao Dezhao was furious. Regardless of the persuasion of Li Mingxuan and Lu Yuqing, he ordered the execution of all the relatives of Sun Meishi and Wen Zhanhui in Jiangbei.

For a time, the reputation of Emperor Song's violence gradually spread in the territory of Song Dynasty, and even the whole world.

The Lion King, ruler of the Western Regions and Uighur Kingdom in Xizhou, is in a bad mood these days.To be precise, since he seized Shazhou, and then colluded with some Uighur tribes in Ganzhou to seize Heifeng Mountain, his troubles continued one after another. First, Heifeng Mountain was lost, and Shazhou’s reinforcements from the city were defeated on the same day, losing more than 1 people .Just when he was about to send troops to retaliate, he was assassinated again. The murderer was revealed to be his younger brother, and then his younger brother rebelled. The civil war lasted for more than a month. He wiped out most of the tribal forces controlled by his younger brother, leading more than 1 The remnant soldiers fled into the southern desert.Immediately afterwards, he learned that his younger brother's rebellion was the result of Xiangfu Kingdom secretly sending people to sow discord.The furious Lion King immediately sent [-] troops to Shazhou, and then planned to set off from Shazhou to invade Guazhou, preparing to retaliate against Xiangfu Kingdom, and took the fat of Hexi Corridor into his hands by the way.

According to the information inquired by the Lion King, Guazhou and Suzhou only have 20 troops from the Xiangfu Kingdom Volunteer Corps, and the other two prefectures each have 3 troops dedicated to defending the city.He dispatched [-] of the most elite of the [-] cavalrymen under his command, plus another [-] troops in Shazhou City, commanded by his number one general, Batumu himself.Although Xizhou Uyghur has [-] cavalry, [-] cavalry will defend the Black Khanate in the west, [-] troops will intimidate He Kingdom, and [-] to [-] troops will guard the old nest of Xizhou Uyghur Kingdom. Fu Guo Volunteer Corps, under normal circumstances, is already the largest dispatched force.Similarly, in the eyes of the Lion King, the [-] elite army is enough to deal with the [-] volunteers.

At the same time, a group of about [-] horse thieves suddenly appeared out of thin air in the Uighur territory of Xizhou. Life in the Western Regions was hard, resources were limited, and horse thieves were rampant.Therefore, when this news was reported to The Lion King, he did not pay attention to it.Just ordered the nearby tribes to send troops to encircle and suppress them.

At the head of the city of Shazhou, Dulamati looked at the strong and neat camp of the Xiangfu Kingdom army outside the city. There was no worry or even seriousness on his face. There was only hatred. His favorite His son Dulaa Lang died in the Battle of Black Sun Peak years ago. His bravest son Dura Tiexiong led 3000 cavalry to rescue Dulaa Lang, but was seriously injured by the opponent's terrifying gunpowder weapon. They were all disabled, and only more than [-] of the [-] cavalry came back.Therefore, what he wants to do most now is to kill all the Volunteer Corps of Xiangfu Kingdom, the chief general named Huang Dongqiu and the main murderer Shi Lang who killed and seriously injured his two sons.

Just today, His Royal Highness the Lion King sent someone to send news that [-] troops have been sent to aid Shazhou, and they will arrive in about ten days. After a short rest, they will send troops to Guazhou.Unexpectedly, at the same time that he just received the news today, the [-]-strong army of the Volunteer Corps of Xiangfu Kingdom suddenly approached the city, and none of the spies he sent to keep an eye on the Volunteer Corps in the direction of Guazhou came back alive, so he had no idea at all beforehand. No message has been received.

"Alimu, we still have 2 warriors in Shazhou City, and we have a lot of food and grass, but Huang Dongqiu only brought [-] people to attack the city. Do you think Huang Dongqiu is arrogant, or they think they let us eat big? Are those gunpowder weapons really that powerful?" Dulamati turned around and asked a veteran with wise eyes.

Ali Mu smiled and said: "General, the 2 troops in Shazhou City are all warriors who have fought with the General for many years. Although the terrifying gunpowder weapons owned by Xiangfu State are powerful, it is indeed wishful thinking to attack the city with only [-] people. According to the Chinese art of war, "the battle of siege requires ten times the attack and five times the siege." Now that Huang Dongqiu of Xiangfu Kingdom has only twice as many troops as ours, he dares to attack the city. He is indeed an arrogant and arrogant person. "

Dulamati nodded and said: "Yes, I think so too, not to mention that General Batumu has led [-] wolf guards to Shazhou City. It's the date of Huang Dongqiu's death."

The two chatted and analyzed, and their confidence in defending the city became stronger and stronger. Ali Mu said: "General, we Uighur warriors are all warriors on the grassland and Gobi. What we are really good at is cavalry field combat. The defense of the city, and the impact of the defeat by the opponent last time, may be detrimental to the morale of our army. Therefore, I think we can find opportunities to go out of the city to attack the field while defending the city."

"What Alimu said is reasonable." Dulamati said, "Although Ah Lang was defeated by Huang Dongqiu at Heiyang Peak, as far as I know, an infantry brigade under Huang Dongqiu's command was almost disabled. The only one Huang Dongqiu can do is There were [-] troops, and the side that attacked the city suffered the most casualties. As long as we persisted for a few days, Huang Dongqiu's side would die thousands of people, about the same number as us. We don't have to wait for General Baturmu to bring reinforcements, maybe we will You can go out of the city and beat them."

The two were discussing how to defend the city and how to sneak out of the city for a sneak attack. Suddenly, there was a sound of horns that soared into the sky from the Xiangfu Kingdom military camp below the city. Not long after, they saw a team of four hundred Xiangfu soldiers. The cavalry rushed out of the city gate, erected a wooden stick seven to eight feet high at a distance of five hundred steps from Shazhou City, dug a hole in twos and buried the wooden root there, and the A well-preserved human head was hung high on the top of the stick.
