Poor Family Chapter 772

  Chapter 772 Unexpected Information

However, Li Yanqing flatly rejected Sun Fu's proposal to appoint him as the deputy envoy for the defense of the capital on the grounds that he could not give Jin Ren the opportunity to tear up the agreement. Face, can only give up.

  However, Li Yanqing still gave Zhao Huan face, and promised to write a letter to persuade the Jingzhao army stationed in Luoyang to rush to Tokyo to serve the king immediately. Thinking that there would be enough troops in the capital, Zhao Huan felt relieved a little.

  It was already night when Li Yanqing returned to the Cao Mansion from the palace. As soon as he got off the carriage, Zhang Hu rushed out from the mansion, "The President is finally back!"

   "What happened?" Li Yanqing seldom saw Zhang Hu so anxious and flustered, so he knew something serious must have happened.

   "Something really happened, this morning"

   "Let's talk about it after entering the mansion, don't rush this moment."

  Li Yanqing stopped Zhang Hu, he got out of the carriage, and walked quickly to the mansion.

  Into the study, Mo Jun also came after hearing the news, Li Yanqing sat on the wide chair in his study, quietly listening to Zhang Hu's urgent report.

"He Nan found me early this morning. He received a strange pigeon letter yesterday afternoon. This pigeon letter was sent from Xuzhou, and it should be flying to Daming Mansion, but there seems to be something wrong with Jin Guoxiozuo in Xuzhou. I used the wrong carrier pigeon, and the pigeon flew to Bianliang, Tokyo”

   "Stop talking nonsense, talk about the contents of the letter!" Mo Jun was a little impatient.

  Li Yanqing glanced at Mo Jun, why couldn't even Mo Jun lose his temper?

  Zhang Hu slowed down his speech again, for fear that Li Yanqing would not be able to understand, he said word by word: "The army and vehicles have passed the Huai River! This is the content of the pigeon letter, only one sentence."

Li Yanqing blinked a few times, stood up abruptly, walked quickly to the east wall, and quickly opened a curtain. There was a huge map of Dasong Prefecture and County hanging on the wall. Mo Jun walked with a candlestick in his hand. Come over, "Du Tong can also see that the golden soldiers are attacking from west to east, and the plan is far away!"

  Of course Li Yanqing also understood that the Jin soldiers seemed to be preparing to attack Bianliang in Tokyo, but in fact their target was the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji.

This is completely different from history. Zhao Ji was captured after the Jin soldiers broke through Bianjing, and now the Jin soldiers are planning to ambush Zhao Ji on the way back to Bianjing. What a powerful strategy, if it wasn't for Jin Guo who made mistakes in the busy intelligence point of Xuzhou , I couldn't think of Jin Guo's conspiracy. After all, it was due to the fact that I bought He Nan as a double agent.

  However, after reading the map, Li Yanqing knew that the news was still a bit late. It had been at least three days since Zhao Ji drove across the Huaihe River until he got the news. Three days, where has Zhao Ji gone?

Zhao Ji escaped from Bianliang, Tokyo alone, and did not bring his children and concubines with him, but it does not mean that he can rush back without any burden. He is also very afraid of his son Zhao Huan. He must be very cautious when he comes back, and the speed will never be slow quick.

  Even if he walked slowly, he should have reached Fuli County by now.

   "Dutong, do you want to go into the palace and tell the officials?" Mo Jun asked in a low voice.

  Li Yanqing hesitated for a while, then shook his head, "It's pointless to tell him now, let alone explain the source of our information, let him know for himself!"

   "So what can we do?"

  Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said: "The only thing we can do now is to find another safe place in the capital."

   This is something that Li Yanqing has figured out a long time ago. In times of crisis, I am afraid that the court will not rely on itself, but will betray itself.

   At this moment, there was a sound of running in the yard outside, and a soldier hurriedly reported at the door: "To the capital, the alarm beacon on the top of the city is lit!"

After Li Yanqing left, the Zhongzhong Division ordered the army to implement a state of emergency, and at the same time sent its own soldiers to Guandu, Zhengzhou to warn the defenders there. Hundreds of iron fire mines were transported to the pier, and the construction of the defensive wall was strengthened. After a whole day and night, the planters were really tired.

  Since noon, Zhong Shizhong had a good sleep, and he didn't let the soldiers wake him up until night fell.

The night was getting thicker, and the middle class was wearing armor and holding a sword in front of the tent. He was a little nervous. If Li Yanqing's judgment was not wrong, then the golden soldiers might have launched an attack yesterday and today, but now two days have passed. One day and one night, only the last night is left, will Jin Bing come? Unless Li Yanqing made a mistake in his judgment, Li Yanqing's judgment has always been accurate.

  The teacher hoped that Li Yanqing made a mistake in his judgment from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't dare to be careless.

   At this moment, the alarm bell rang on the sentry tower at the gate of Daying, 'Dang! when! when! ' Zhong Shizhong's heart tightened all of a sudden, is the Jin Bing really here?

  Army soldiers gathered one after another. Except for the 2,000 soldiers deployed at the pier, the remaining 3,000 soldiers were in the camp.

  Zhong Zhong got on his horse, urged the horse to the gate of the camp, and asked sharply, "What is the enemy's situation?"

   "Report to Commander-in-Chief, there is fire in the west."

Zhong Zhong was startled. There was a fire in the west, it must not be Guandu. Guandu is four hundred miles to the west. Even if there was a fire, they would not be able to see it. It should be Xiaowangzhuang, fifty miles to the west, where they can also cross the river , but the water on the bank of the river is very shallow, but it is impossible to dock a large ship of more than 1,000 shi, and a ship of up to 500 shi. The division believes that it is unlikely that the Jin army will cross the river there. At most, spies cross the river, so only 300 soldiers were deployed .

The Zhongshi hesitated for a moment. Although he ordered that as long as there was any enemy situation, the alarm bell should be sounded, but the fire appeared on Xiaowangzhuang, could it be a small-scale golden soldier who tried to attack and attracted his own army, and then they took the opportunity to attack? A massive attack on Baimadu? Decades of experience have told the seed division that this is likely to be the strategy of Jin Bing to attack the west.

At this moment, there was a series of muffled sounds. It was the explosion of Zhentian Lei. The face of the teacher suddenly changed. He told the guard over there that if the enemy attacked aggressively, they would light Zhentian. Lei called the police, and the three consecutive explosions were clearly a signal of a large-scale attack by the enemy.

  The middle division immediately shouted: "Go to the pier to pass the order, and hurry back to the barracks to assemble!"

   As soon as he finished speaking, a cavalryman rushed forward covered in blood. He rushed to the gate of the camp and set off his horse. The breeder urged the horse forward, dismounted and helped the soldier up, "What's going on?"

  The soldier breathed weakly and said: "The pier was attacked! Hurry up and save it."

  Before he finished speaking, the soldier died, and the teacher punched the ground hard, stood up and shouted: "Go to the pier!"

  He got on his horse and led 3,000 soldiers to the pier one mile away. Before he had run halfway, the surroundings were full of flames, and he saw countless golden cavalry surrounded them from all directions, a total of 10,000 to 20,000 people.

  Knowing that there is no way out today, the teacher in the species shouted tragically: "Brothers, the time to be loyal to the country has come, kill me!"

   "Kill—"

  Three thousand soldiers shouted angrily, and rushed to the south following the middle division. At this time, Wanyan Zonghan coldly issued an order to wipe them out.

  That night, the famous general Zhong Shizhong died in battle at Baima Ferry, and the entire five thousand Song army was wiped out.

After Zhao Ji reached a cooperation agreement with Jin Guo, he set off to return to Bianliang, Tokyo. Although Zhao Ji escaped from Bianjing under the pretext of Shangxiang, he was only protected by Cai You and more than 20 guards, but then Gao Qiu led 30,000 Tianlong forbidden troops out of the city to chase after him. , and finally caught up with Zhao Ji in Caizhou.

   Now that Zhao Ji returns to Bianjing, in addition to Gao Qiu's 30,000 Heavenly Dragon Forbidden Army, there are also the 10,000 Jiangnan Xiang Army led by Du Tong Fan Qiong. This is the 10,000 Xiang Army including Jiangning Mansion, Changzhou, and Suzhou.

   In addition, Zhao Ji also had several confidant eunuchs and two newly established concubines in Jiangning.

Zhao Ji returned by boat. There was a five-thousand-stone boat in Jiangning Prefecture, which had been refurbished and became Zhao Ji's boat. There were also more than 300 small boats full of grain following behind, and hundreds of trackers were on the shore. While pulling, the fleet slowly moved northwest along the Bian River.

The 30,000 Tianlong Imperial Army is composed of 5,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry. The armor is the best and the treatment is the best. It is composed of young and strong soldiers selected by Gao Li from the 800,000 imperial army. All of them are strong and burly. Wearing the red lacquer mountain character armor will look extraordinarily majestic.

However, like other Forbidden Army, this Forbidden Army has never experienced a war, and did not even participate in the war to quell Song Jiang and Fang La. After Tang Huai graduated from martial arts, he once stayed in Tianlong Forbidden Army for a year, so he knows this army well. It is deeper. In Tang Huai's words, this army is more delicate and noble than the son-in-law of a rich family. It is this out-and-out embroidered pillow. On the battlefield, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of rural soldiers.

  Five thousand cavalry guard Zhao Ji's five thousand stone ship on both sides of the Bian River, and the flags are overwhelming, which is very spectacular.

  At this time, Zhao Ji stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back. He stared at the feathery red clouds. The red sunset was about to set, and the warm river wind was blowing head-on, carrying a strong spring breath, which made Zhao Ji feel relaxed and happy for a while.

  At this time, a city gradually appeared in the distance, Zhao Ji smiled and asked the two new concubines, "You two concubines, guess where the city ahead is?"

  The two new concubines are both the daughters of the aristocratic families in Jiangning Mansion. Zhao Ji made them concubines in order to win over the aristocratic families in Jiangnan. They are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they are very beautiful.

  A slightly taller concubine clapped her hands and smiled coquettishly: "I see, it must be Fuli County!"

   "What do you think?" Zhao Ji asked another concubine.

   "Hmm! I guess it should be Ying Tianfu."

  Zhao Ji raised his head and laughed, "Fuli County passed this morning, and Yingtian Mansion will arrive at noon tomorrow. This is Yongcheng County."

   "Your Majesty is necrotic and deliberately lied to us." The two concubines leaned on him and acted like a baby.

  At this time, Cai You from behind laughed and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't we spend the night in Yongcheng County tonight!"

  Zhao Ji was in great spirits, so he stroked his beard and nodded happily, "Okay! I'll spend the night in Yongcheng County tonight."

  At the same moment when Zhao Ji agreed to spend the night in Yongcheng County, a 20,000-strong Jurchen cavalry had appeared hundreds of miles away and was heading towards Yongcheng County like lightning.
