The battle in Yingtianfu was not optimistic, and the officers and soldiers deployed 150,000 troops here, vowing to intercept the rebels here.

But the rebels also had 200,000 troops for Fang La's drive, and although most of them were farmers with little combat experience and who had been working in the fields with hoes yesterday, with the help of gunpowder, even they were enough to fight against the officers and soldiers.

In addition, Yang Jian, a short-sighted guy, repeatedly missed good opportunities, causing the defense line of officers and soldiers to shrink in an all-round way.

Before, they were still guarding the entire Jingxi Road, but now they can only defend around Yingtianfu and Xiqingfu.

Xuzhou, Xingren Mansion, Dongping Mansion and other places have all fallen into the pocket of the rebels.

In the garrison of the Zhenguo Army, Zhao Yan was discussing his next step with Gao Shu. The two of them compared to the map for a long time, and they didn't discuss the reason.

Because of Yang Jian, the actions of the officers and soldiers here can be said to be tied. Any movement or sortie of officers and soldiers must be reported to Yang Jian, and only after Yang Jian's instructions can they act.

But his old man was eating, drinking, and enjoying himself in Yingtianfu, and he didn't see him reviewing documents for three days. By the time the courier sent the fold down, the defenders had already been defeated by the rebels.

The fighter plane is fleeting, and if you don't attack in time when you find an opportunity, you can only fall into a situation of being passively beaten.

Yang Jian didn't seem to understand this truth, the Xuzhou guard found an opportunity before this, and took the initiative to attack without reporting to Yang Jian, and as a result, the righteous army was broken and eight thousand were killed.

This should have been a victory worth celebrating, but Yang Jian scolded the general for fifty years on the grounds of disobedience to the officials.

Half of his life was gone, and he even threatened other generals to report Zhao Ji on fabricated charges.

Yang Jian is Zhao Ji's most loyal dogleg, and Zhao Ji has a lot of trust in him. In addition, Cai Jing, the prime minister, was in the same stream as Yang Jian, and as soon as Zhao Ji showed him the excerpt, he said that he had heard about it.

Of course, Zhao Ji was full of anger, and felt that it was a shame for him to have such a person under his hands.

So the poor Xuzhou general was raided, his head fell off, his wife and concubine, and even his daughter were sold into the official shop for fun.

Who is out to mix up so that their family can live a good life? As soon as they saw that the Xuzhou general had such a miserable end, everyone knew that this Yang Jian was the lord who covered the sky with one hand.

Although Zhao Li's identity is not afraid of him, no one dares to stand up except for Zhao Li.

Zhao Yan is lonely and lonely, and I am afraid that he will be slandered by Yang Jian. As the younger brother of the emperor, he has no other skills, but his ability to be suspicious is a must.

Once he finds himself threatening his rule, it will be difficult to say what awaits him at that time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel that Tang Ning's rapid retreat was because he foresaw this day.

Downing seems to have a magical ability, that is, he can tell what kind of person a person is by his name.

When Wang Sunsin was under Pu, he was just an ordinary soldier, the kind that would not make a splash when thrown into the soldiers.

But when Tang Ning asked him over, this guy actually made meritorious contributions one after another, and his longbow made him superb, and every time he was in battle, he would definitely be able to snipe and kill the officers in the enemy's military formation, so that the enemy's military formation was in chaos, so as to facilitate the victory of the Zhenguo army.

There are many such examples, such as Zong Ze, such as the middle class of Jian, so Zhao Tong was very suspicious, after he learned that Zhao Ji became the emperor, he knew that there would be today, so he bombarded Ruzhou City and gave himself a reason to resign and retreat.

Gao Shu saw Zhao Yan sitting there and didn't know what to think, so he sighed and arched his hand towards Zhao Yan and withdrew.

With Yang Jian pointing fingers above his head, the Song army on Jingxi Road will not expect to take the initiative in his life.

Under these circumstances, the rout of the Song army was predictable. Although the rebels also paid a heavy price, at least, in early August, the rebels broke through Yingtianfu.

Yang Jian fled back to Kaifeng Mansion in embarrassment under the escort of more than 100 personal horsemen.

What Zhao Ji was most worried about finally happened, there are only 80,000 left of the 150,000 officers and soldiers, of which 40,000 horses are still the Zhenguo army responsible for deploying between Yingtianfu and Kaifeng Mansion.

Next is Kaifeng Mansion, what should I do?

Zhao Ji couldn't help but start thinking about this question.

Zeng Bu had a difficult time during this time, and the power struggle between him and Cai Jing had already made him haggard.

Compared with himself, Cai Jing is young and strong, and he is deeply favored by the official family, and it is really difficult to bargain in his hands.

However, he is still a scholar with the world in mind, and when he heard that the Song army was defeated, he was shocked.

Ying Tianfu is the last barrier of Kaifeng Mansion, Ying Tianfu was broken by the righteous army, shouldn't the righteous army attack Kaifeng Mansion next?

There are many people in Kaifeng Mansion, once the righteous army comes, I am afraid that the righteous army will not make a move, and only those people who are at a loss can destroy Kaifeng Mansion.

Thinking of this, Zeng Bu decided to meet Zhao Ji in person.

He had an idea in his heart that had been brewing for a long time, but he didn't dare to tell Zhao Ji for a long time. Now, the situation is urgent, and although Zhao Ji has a lot of opinions about that person, he can't afford not to think about it.

So after the court went down this day, Zeng Bu hurriedly visited Zhao Ji.

Zeng Bu's sudden visit surprised Zhao Ji, and since he promoted Zeng Bu from the privy envoy to the right minister, he has not seen him out of the political hall much.

Zhao Ji appreciates his work attitude very much. But it's a pity that Zhao Ji is different from other emperors.

This literary young man is more emotional, and he likes people like Cai Jing who often meet him. And even if Zeng Bu managed the whole world very well for him, he didn't accept it.

Zhao Ji, who was having fun in Yanfu Palace, met Zeng Bu like this, and Zeng Bu sighed in his heart when he saw this.

For example, if there is chaos today, the rebels even broke through Yingtianfu and are about to come to Kaifeng Mansion, but this person is still here to play and have fun, and there is no sense of crisis and urgency at all.

Zeng Bu regretted it a little, and he remembered Zhang Dian.

That old guy must have seen through all of this a long time ago, right? If I knew this, I should have stood by him.

If he had supported him, his plan might have succeeded.

It's a pity......

"Right Phase!" Zhao Ji greeted Zeng Bu very warmly: "Come and sit, come and sit!" Look at the juggling on this stage, it's so good!

The big stone in the chest, look at it, look at it, this warrior goes down with a hammer without blinking his eyes......"

"Your Majesty......" Zeng Bu interrupted Zhao Ji's cheerful introduction, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although Weichen has no objection to you having some fun when you are free, but, Your Majesty, now that the rebel army is advancing towards Kaifeng Mansion, is it ...... for you to do this?"

"Oh, you're right, you're right." Zhao Ji stood up and clapped his hands, signaling that those jugglers could stop.

Then he turned his head and walked out, Zeng Bu saw this, nodded with satisfaction, and the son can be taught.

"So Zeng Xiang, did you come here today to warn me not to do this?" Although Zhao Ji was very satisfied with Zeng Bu in his actions, his expression and words seemed to be full of dissatisfaction with Zeng Bu.

"Zeng Xiang, if you can mention this matter to me today, Zeng Xiang must have a clever plan to deal with the rebels." Zhao Ji glanced at Zeng Bu and continued: "In that case, Zeng Xiang might as well tell me, so that I can also feel Zeng Xiang's wisdom." ”

Regarding Zhao Ji's yin and yang weird words, Zeng Bu didn't know what to do except helplessly. As the Son of Heaven, he has such a narrow bearing, and he doesn't even bother to fool himself by pretending to fool himself, Zeng Bu is so uncomfortable in his heart.

This is today's Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who pities himself and laughs at Yelu Yanxi.

Now look at it, what is the difference between him Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi?

Thinking of this, Zeng Bu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

But after all, the world is innocent, and as a scholar, it is natural for him to contribute to this world.

So Zeng Bu took a deep breath and arched his hand at Zhao Ji: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister came today, and he really has a plan to talk to Your Majesty."

I hope that Your Majesty will read it for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, don't be emotional, listen to the old minister's details! ”
