Chapter 709 Monkey, Don't Embarrass Us!
Knowing that Yanjing was defending, and learning that the Song army had been repulsed, the nobles in the harem were overjoyed, and many embraced each other and wept with joy.
The weepers are almost all concubines with low status. The group with lower status has been disposed of before. Once the city is broken, it is conceivable that their lives will be the first to die. Keeping Yanjing is equivalent to saving their lives.
That fear, that fear, is finally over.
In the past, they thought that being able to enter here was extremely glorious.
Now they have a deep understanding that once the outside world is ups and downs, they can't help themselves in the high palace walls, just like lambs to be slaughtered.
...
"The Song army has withdrawn..."
The sky is high and the land is wide, with a large army battalion, Meng Shanming, who was sitting in a wheelchair outside the tent of the Chinese army, murmured softly.
"Yes, we have withdrawn. Meng Shuai's previous proposition was correct, and he withdrew in less than seven or eight days." Gong Lince, who was at the side, felt sincerely. I admire the seasoned vision of this veteran on the battlefield, who is too accurate in pinching the situation on the battlefield.
Meng Shanming was concerned about another question, "How many troops did the Song army consume in attacking the city?"
Gong Lince looked at the news from the capital, "The estimated number of corpses cleaned up is around 180,000."
"180,000..." Meng Shanming murmured again, a trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes.
The Song army retreated after only losing 180,000 horses, and retreated before taking Yanjing. This result disappointed him. His estimation was that as long as Yanjing exhausted its strength to resist, the Song army would at least be consumed. There are more than 500,000 people, but judging from the current news, it is far from meeting his expectations.
For the time being, it seems that this side has the upper hand, but for Yan Guo, has it really won?
As long as the people from Yanjing are still there, no matter how hard the Yan army fights, it will only make the country of Yan survive.
So what if we fight back and forth and win this battle? It's just letting more children of the Yan Kingdom die in vain, it's just making the people of the Yan Kingdom pay such a painful price of blood unjustly, and it doesn't change anything at all.
Winning this battle can only slow down Yan Guo's death.
So, did you win? If Song Jun didn't break through Yanjing, Yan State lost, and the loss was miserable!
However, Shang Chaozong led Nanzhou troops to harass the Song army to attack the city before. When the news came that 100,000 cavalry harassed the Song army to attack the city, outsiders could not imagine the torment in his heart.
Now Song Jun withdrew so easily, the despair of not seeing hope filled his whole body and mind, and the sadness in his heart could not be confide in anyone.
The hidden strategic goal he intended to achieve with this battle failed, so he lost!
But what can he do? He has to lead this team to fight desperately, for the hope that cannot be seen, if he does not continue to fight, Yan Guo will not even be able to survive!
Gong Lince at the side felt the indescribable aura emanating from him, and asked in confusion, "Meng Shuai, what's the matter?"
Meng Shanming sighed softly: "Luo Zhao's reaction was very fast, before he exhausted enough strength, he withdrew and underestimated him."
I see! Gong Lince also sighed, "At such a young age, he should be able to become the governor of the Song Dynasty, so he should have a little ability. But with Meng Shuai around, Luo Zhao'er must be nothing to worry about!"
Meng Shanming's eyes were gloomy, his gray beard and hair fluttered in the wind, and his thin body in a wheelchair looked extremely bleak.
...
A large bird fell from the sky and fell into the deep forest.
Yuan Gang led Duan Hu and Wu Sanliang, and Yuan Gang, who was carrying the Sanhou Dao, led the two to Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao, who was standing under the tree with a sword in his hand, looked at Yuan Gang. Duan Hu and Wu Sanliang greeted each other, "Master Dao!"
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, stared at Yuan Gang, and said slowly, "Why are you here?"
Yuan Gang: "I should have come here earlier!"
Niu Youdao frowned, he understood the meaning of Yuan Gang's words, because he knew Yuan Gang too well.
I didn't bring Yuan Gang with me before because I didn't want him to get too close to the battlefield, because I was afraid that this guy's blood would boil and he couldn't help but raise his sword to join the battle.
Now, without his consent, he came here without his consent. It is estimated that he has received more and more battlefield information, and he finally couldn't help it.
Niu Youdao just said two words, "Go back!"
Yuan Gang: "I just want to witness this big scene, let me go to Meng Shanming's side, nothing will happen by his side."
Niu Youdao: "No way!"
Yuan Gang: "Master Dao, what will others think of you doing this?"
Niu Youdao said mercilessly: "If I say no, I won't!"
What a joke, such a large-scale battlefield, such a huge battle, this is a war between two countries, both sides are experts and capable people, all kinds of weird and unpredictable possibilities will happen, so many monks and experts have fallen, it is your turn To show off?
He didn't believe Yuan Gang's words at all. For a man like Yuan Gang who can throw his head and blood if he is passionate, the promise he made when he was calm was useless.
Especially when going to Meng Shanming's side, Meng Shanming and others have long been eyeing Yuan Gang, and have long wanted to pull Yuan Gang into the battlefield to try whether it is a mule or a horse. This is no longer a matter of a day or two. Hold on, and still won't agree now!
The world is just the two of them!
Yuan Gang: "Master Dao, you said that you will not interfere with my freedom."
Niu Youdao: "I can agree to other things, but this one is not allowed!"
Yuan Gang: "Since I'm here, I won't go back." After saying that, he turned around and left, and wanted to find Meng Shanming by himself.
Niu Youdao said word by word: "Try it!" The hand holding the sword raised one and made a gesture.
In the forest behind, Chen Bo and others from Fufang Garden flashed out and immediately surrounded Yuan Gang.
Yin'er, who had a big bag hanging on his body, also came out of the forest. He reached out and took out a chicken leg from his pocket, biting it and looking at it, blinking his eyes curiously.
Guan Fangyi, Duan Hu and the others also looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing for the first time that the two brothers were about to turn their heads.
The besieged Yuan Gang turned around slowly, looked at the people around him, and slowly looked at Niu Youdao, "Master Dao!"
"Take him to death, don't let him leave without my consent, who dares to be negligent, my sword is also bloodthirsty!" Niu Youdao dropped the words and turned around, and went to the depths of the dense forest.
Yuan Gang's cheeks tensed and he was speechless.
Second Wu sighed, "Monkey, don't make things difficult for us!"
...
The two large birds that were interrogated in the air landed at the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate.
Chao Shenghuai, the grandson of Elder Chao of Wanshoumen, came back and was sent back, and was sent back by Jia Wuqun, the confidant of Prime Minister Song.
There is no way, if you ask for help from others, it would be unreasonable to imprison the grandson of the elder of Wanshoumen. Jia Wuqun personally sent him here, which can be regarded as a sign of sincerity.
What's more, the current Chao Shenghuai doesn't have much effect on the court, and the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty opened his mouth to let go of a very simple personal matter.
Qiu Shan, the elder of Wanshoumen who came out to welcome the guests, narrowed his eyes suddenly when he saw Chao Shenghuai, and the cold light in the eyes was suddenly sharp.
Chao Shenghuai lowered his head subconsciously, and said weakly: "Disciple Chao Shenghuai has met the elder."
There was an outsider, but Qiu Shan didn't say anything, he winked at the disciples around him, and asked someone to take Chao Shenghuai away first.
Jia Wuqun, who watched coldly for a while, smiled, and waited respectfully with a smile on his face: "Elder Qiu, I haven't seen you for some years, and I took the liberty to visit, I hope I don't disturb you."
"Where is it? Brother Jia came suddenly, so the rare visitor is real." Qiu Shan cupped his hands happily, and asked tentatively, "Brother Jia is here, what advice do you have?"
To the confidant of Prime Minister Song, he was polite and did not dare to neglect.
As for Jia Wuqun's origin, here is also clear, his father was originally a teacher in Zifu, that is, a teacher specially hired by Zifu and supported for a long time, this person grew up with his father in Zifu since childhood. It is also the condition of obtaining the Zifu, and the opportunity to read a lot of books, and because of the conditions of the Zifu, it has added a vision that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and gradually showed an extraordinary side.
It is rumored that Zi Pingxiu was able to climb to the position of prime minister later, and stayed in the position of prime minister for more than 20 years without failing, all because of him.
The outside world has a private name for this person, Hidden Phase!
It may not be true or not, but it is enough to prove the influence of this person on Zi Pingxiu, Prime Minister of Song Dynasty. Naturally, Qiu Shan dare not neglect.
Jia Wuqun waved his hands haha, "I'm an ordinary person, how dare I give advice to a group of godlike figures."
Looking back at Chao Shenghuai, who was going away, he looked quite emotional, "The prime minister felt that the imperial court had gone too far in detaining the disciples of the Wanshou Sect, and they should be released after being detained for so long, so he pleaded with the imperial court to release them." It turned out that the court offended the Wanshoumen, but the court wants face, and of course, Wanshoumen needs face even more, so the prime minister sent me to accompany the head of your faction in person."
At this time, should this person come to accompany him? Qiu Shan's eyes flickered slightly, and he vaguely guessed the purpose of the other party's visit, and the other party's words obviously did not intend to hide the intention of coming.
Qiu Shan immediately declined and said: "Unfortunately, the head of the contempt sect is currently practicing in seclusion, and a trivial matter is not worth fussing about. It is also because the contempt party is incapable of disciplining disciples, so it is fine for people to come back, and there is no need to make an apology. It's rare for Brother Jia to come here, so we must have a few drinks with him today!"
Jia Wuqun waved his hand, "You can drink as much as you want, Jia has never touched a drop of alcohol. Alas, it's a pity that I can't admire the beauty of the head of Xihai. It's a troubled time. Elder Qiu must also know that the two countries are at war, and the prime minister is busy with everything. I still have a lot of miscellaneous tasks to send to me, so Jia will leave now, and I hope Brother Qiu will send his greetings to the head of Xihai on behalf of the prime minister."
Qiu Shan was a little surprised, so he left now?
He also thought that the other party wanted to entangle the matter that made the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect embarrassing, and he didn't want the other party to leave without mentioning it at all, which made him suspect that his judgment was wrong.
However, it is better not to cause trouble as much as possible, so he sighed and said: "Since this is the case, state affairs are the most important thing, so I will not force Brother Jia. When there is a chance in the future, we will meet again with Brother Jia. Greetings from the prime minister, Qiu must be sure." Bring it here. Someone, send Mr. Jia three hundred miles on behalf of Wanshoumen!"
"No, no, no need to be so troublesome. I have a confidential matter, so I have to keep my whereabouts secret." Jia Wuqun waved his hand and refused.
PS: Yan is like Song Yu, looks like Pan An! Thanks to the new leaders "Aunt Too Much" and "Xiu Qi Zhiping Road" for their support! In addition, talk about "too many aunts", if you spread the rewards, how many monthly tickets will be lost!
