Chapter 667 The Battle of Destroying the Nation
The dust and smoke dissipated, and Shi Xinmao, who was the first to lead the Fuzhou troops to catch up, reined in and stopped.
The sergeant who went to test it came back with a muddy foot, telling him that he could not move forward.
Although the flood has receded, the land soaked by the flood is like a swamp, and it is difficult for people to go down, and it is impossible for thousands of troops to pass through.
Looking back at his Fuzhou troops who had worked so hard to chase after him, they were almost tired and out of shape.
After working so hard, he was about to get close to the rebels, but fell short. Shi Xinmao looked up to the sky and sighed, he also knew that it would be troublesome for Wu Gongling to run away.
Afterwards, the chasing vassals had to detour and buy Wu Gongling a day or two to escape.
Everyone could see that the flood was definitely not for no reason, it must have been caused by the breach of the embankment in Wugongling, and the purpose was to hinder the pursuers.
The monks around Wu Gongling, including Hui Qingping, all reacted, but Wu Gongling refused to admit it, he was so thick-skinned that he insisted on saying that it was his borrowed divine power.
What's more, he didn't hide it at all, and handed over the marriage contract written by Hui Qingping to the army under his command for circulation, so that the brothers could have fun together.
Wu Gongling said that Hui Qingping was already his woman, and ordered the army to call Hui Qingping "Ms. Wu" whenever they saw Hui Qingping.
Hui Qingping was so ashamed and angry that she almost had the urge to commit suicide.
Facing Wu Gongling's shamelessness, Hui Qingping was completely defeated and returned to Tiannvjiao.
To be precise, the Tiannvjiao forcibly recruited Hui Qingping back. The Tiannvjiao believed that Hui Qingping had lost her mind, and she could even be fooled by such low-level tricks. What is it if she lost her mind? So he forcibly ordered someone to replace it.
Hui Qingping came back in a feather, and the news soon spread throughout the world. Hui Qingping's reputation was completely ruined by Wu Gongling.
Hui Qingping was dismissed from the position of elder shortly after returning to Tiannvjiao. She has become a complete joke in the practice world, and it is inappropriate to continue to be an elder. Hui Qingping herself was too ashamed, she didn't do anything to protest, she accepted the decision of Tiannvjiao, and since then she abdicated and lived in seclusion, but what she never forgets is killing Wu Gongling...
"Oh, there is such a thing?"
Outside Yanjing City, outside a hut surrounded by green mountains and green waters, Niu Youdao, standing with a sword in his arms, was somewhat surprised when he heard about this incident.
I was a little surprised when I heard that Wu Gongling's sudden defeat was to join forces with the Song Army. They were all deceived by Wu Gongling's fancy moves. The elder sent was forced to step down, and Fang found that Wu Gongling was interesting.
The so-called darkness under the lights, Yanjing is the most dangerous place for him, but he has been hiding near Yanjing recently.
It can be regarded as being forced to do what he can, he doesn't understand the army to fight, and it is useless to participate in it. Facing the competition of all major forces, the monks in his hand run away is tantamount to death, and in order to avoid the search of the three major factions of Yan Kingdom .
Normally, the power that the three major factions of Yan State can mobilize should not be underestimated. Hiding in Yan State may not be able to escape, but now even the three major factions are stretched to dispatch their own forces, and it is difficult to launch a large-scale search for him.
Since Shang Chaozong was taken away, he has been in the capital area, and has met Da Situ Gao Jiancheng several times, so that Gao Jiancheng will pay close attention to the attitude towards Shang Chaozong in the court. Once he finds that Shang Jianxiong has any signs of killing Shang Chaozong , Gao Jiancheng must use all the power he can use in the court, and he will not hesitate to expose Gao Jiancheng afterwards, but also cooperate with the inside and outside to rescue Shang Chaozong.
As for the Gao family, Niu Youdao will also arrange for the evacuation, and Gao Jiancheng himself will send him away on a bird mount as soon as possible.
Gao Jiancheng agreed to him, and when it really came to that point, now that Yan State's national fortune is getting worse every year, he is willing to give up the position of Da Situ.
Of course, before the last step, Niu Youdao didn't want to expose Gao Jiancheng, and Niu Youdao hid in the capital area just in case to plan this matter, in order to protect the life safety of Shang Dynasty Zong, he was also looking for a suitable opportunity to take Shang Chaozong If it is fished out, it is impossible for the imperial court to arrest Shang Chaozong and leave him alone.
As for some of the flesh and blood suffered by Shang Chaozong, he has already known through Gao Jiancheng, who went to the prison to see it himself.
Whether Shang Chaozong could understand or not understand this physical suffering, he didn't care, and some explanations might not convince the other party, so it was right for Shang Chaozong to take care of the overall situation.
Guan Fangyi: "Yes, this matter has been spread in the practice world. People who have never heard of the Tiannv Sect came out to refute the rumors. There should be nothing wrong."
Hui Qingping was able to encounter such a thing. Niu Youdao recalled the sworn elder sister whom he had been in contact with several times, and vaguely remembered her sense of superiority from the bottom of her heart. He really didn't expect to be put down by Wu Gongling Oh, it's kind of funny to think about what kind of aggrieved this is.
But Niu Youdao couldn't help sighing at the situation in front of him, "It seems that Wu Gongling and the Song Army will join forces is inevitable."
Guan Fangyi: "After Wu Gongling dug and destroyed the river embankment, it was impossible for the counter-insurgency army to catch up with him. Meng Shuai also believed that the imperial court's heavily armed defense line could not withstand Wu Gongling's toss. It is indeed inevitable for the Song army to invade the country of Yan. .But it may not be a bad thing for the prince, it may be an opportunity to escape."
"I'm afraid Shang Jianxiong will find it hard to let go, and he won't lose face. It seems that Nanzhou has to take the initiative to raise conditions." Niu Youdao nodded and said, Wu Gongling unexpectedly created an opportunity for him, but he couldn't be happy in his heart. Han and Song invaded the territory of Yan State, and the internal and external situation made Nanzhou unable to settle down...
In the fifth and thirtyth year of the martial arts calendar, the beginning of the year.
Under the attack of the rebel army led by Wu Gongling, the Yan State's rebel general, Yan State's heavily armed defense line was in chaos. Song State took advantage of the chaos to cross the river and successfully invaded the territory of Yan State at a very small price.
In the tent, Shang Yongzhong, who had read the urgent report from the front line, slumped down on a chair with a very ugly expression, and the urgent report in his hand fell to the ground, his heart full of fear.
The army on his side had just bypassed the flooded area, and the Song State's attack began. One of the generals of the Yan State who was in a direct conflict with the Song Army had already died in battle. The princes of Lu went to support and plug the leak.
He thought that the counter-insurgency was a sure thing, so he came here to grab the credit, but unexpectedly, the counter-insurgency not only failed, but also led to the disaster of destroying the country, and he couldn't bear the responsibility!
Shen Yuhong and the others hurried into the big tent, saw his miserable face, and became angry, "Dear Sima, the border situation is urgent, and you are still in a daze? All the heavy troops on the border of the imperial court are under your command, and you are not happy Quickly order an emergency?"
After regaining his senses, Shang Yongzhong quickly picked up the urgent report on the ground, walked around the table, and handed it, "The frontier army asks for help, please immediately put pressure on the Shi Xinmao Department of Fuzhou, the Zhanghu Department of Changzhou, and the Xu Jingyue Department of Gongzhou , ordered the three troops to rush over to support and suppress the Song army's offensive, and An Xianzhao and Su Qi's fellow troops also rushed here immediately. I will return to Beijing immediately to meet Your Majesty!"
Shen Yuhong grabbed his clothes and said angrily: "As the commander of the whole army, you don't come to the battlefield to command the battle in person. At this moment, you run back to the capital. The battle has traveled so far. When the decision is made, the situation of the battle will have changed a long time ago. How do you command?"
Even he, who doesn't know how to fight, understands this truth, but Shang Yongzhong stomped his feet and said: "Wrong, wrong, the real commander of the entire army is His Majesty, and the one who is in charge of commanding is His Majesty's military aircraft center. I do many things by myself. If you can't be the master, please ask your Majesty to make a decision!" In order to avoid the emergence of a second King Ning, Shang Jianxiong clamped down on the military power of Da Sima.
And the failure of counter-insurgency still has an excuse to shirk, let him personally command the army of Yan State to fight, what is the difference between killing him, once the battle is defeated, the big responsibility of that day, his whole family's heads are not enough to cut off.
Shen Yuhong said angrily: "As the commander-in-chief, you can't leave now, you must stay stable in the army. How can you fight this battle if the commander-in-chief has run away? Just ask His Majesty to send a message for the matter to be decided. How can you run around now? go!"
He was not allowed to leave here, and Shang Yongzhong had no other choice. While sending orders to urge several princes to speed up to the battlefield, he recruited Su Qitong and An Xianzhao to ask for advice.
Afterwards, while reporting the military situation, he secretly wrote two letters to Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng, asking them to help him shirk his responsibility, to shirk his responsibility for the failure of the counter-insurgency to bring about the disaster of destroying the country, and promised to thank you afterwards!
On the border of Yan and Song Dynasties, under the command of Luo Zhao, the Song army attacked fiercely, and the army of Yan State was retreating steadily, and the momentum was unstoppable!
Since the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the world has not seen a war of destroying the country for a long time. After the Song Dynasty officially launched an all-out attack, the world was shocked!
The wars were defeated one after another, and the court of Yan State was in chaos, with various voices coming out, even Tong Mo and Gao Jian couldn't suppress it.
Faced with the pressure to accuse Shang Yongzhong, Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng still exonerated Shang Yongzhong, saying that the Wugongling rebels were not responsible for the rebellion, and that the Wugongling rebels had already escaped when Shang Yongzhong took over to suppress the rebellion. , how can the blame be entirely on Shang Yongzhong's head?
Shang Yongzhong was well informed about the news from the DPRK and China, upon hearing the news, he immediately defended himself, shifting the blame to the princes of the Five Routes, blaming them for their failure in pursuit and suppression, so Wu Gongling ran away.
The implication did not mean that everyone also knew that he was unable to dispatch with all his strength when accusing the princes of the Five Routes of supporting their own self-respect.
The so-called good generals in national crisis have reached the juncture of life and death, and another voice that usually dare not speak up has come out, directly pointing out that the current generals of the imperial court are not good at fighting, and calling on the imperial court to release Shang Chaozong and let Shang Chaozong lead the troops to participate in the war .
This voice almost pointed out that Shang Jianxiong's previous decision to change generals was wrong, which made Shang Jianxiong's face very ugly.
Of course, some people spoke for Shang Jianxiong, saying that even if Shang Chaozong was still directing the suppression of the rebellion, he might not be able to catch up with Wu Gongling.
The news that Shang Yongzhong got rid of the crime and blamed himself, the five princes were furious when they heard about it!
The situation is like this, the princes of the Five Routes have already seen that the absurd Yan Kingdom is unable to stop the decline, they can't command the troops of the court, and seeing those people messing around, they only rely on a few of them to fight, and it is useless to fight all their money. Now that we are fighting desperately on the battlefield, it is simply unreasonable to push the responsibility on us.
But under the threat of the three major sects, the princes of the five routes were forced to have no choice but to die. They had to rush to the battlefield, but how to fight the monks of the three major sects could not force it. If you think my command is wrong, then you can give me some advice Advice, we listen to you.
Therefore, it was useless for the troops of the five princes to participate in the battle, and they were also defeated by the Song army. The monks who participated in the battle had to retreat steadily, and thousands of troops were repelled. Is it impossible for them to rush up to resist the enemy's thousands of troops and monks to besiege?
