Chapter 788: Han River Raiders
Whew, everyone took a long breath, and Li Bao couldn't believe it, "Your Highness, are we wrong, if this is really the case, wouldn't it mean that Tian Xingmao, Ye Dahu and Chai have already reached some kind of consensus!" ”
Zhao Yougong's face turned pale, pursed his lips and shook his head, Li Bao was right, but not all right, to be precise, Li Bao was still not bold enough, "If this is really the case, then there is only one explanation, the Chai family and Tingyu Pavilion are one, that is to say"
The rest of Zhao Yougong didn't say it, because this kind of speculation was surprising, and he felt a chill down his spine even thinking about it, if the Chai family and Tingyu Pavilion were one, wouldn't the identity of the black-robed person be about to come out, no, impossible, must not, absolutely not. If Chai Keyan is the master of the Listening Rain Pavilion, then what kind of situation will he face next? However, if Chai Keyan didn't control Tingyu Pavilion, why did the three forces have such the same goals?
Sanniang kept shaking her head, he understood what Zhao Yougong wanted to say, "Official, this is impossible, Chai Keyan will not be a black-robed person, they are too much worse!" ”
Zhao Yougong closed his eyes in pain, maybe he and Dongfang Jin really made a wrong move, "Maybe it's impossible, but you have to plan for the worst, immediately send a letter to Bianliang, and order Qingyun to evacuate Yulin Prefecture immediately and retreat north to Jianmen Pass and Shangluo Road." Strictly ordered Pang He, Yuzhou and Henan Prefecture to withdraw all the soldiers and horses to Hangu Pass to standby, without an order, not to go out of the pass to approach Luoyang. Niu Gao's troops abandoned Tangzhou and divided their troops to garrison Yingzhou, Chenzhou and Zhongmu, and were not allowed to be ordered to leave Gyeonggi Road. He ordered Lin Chong, Hu Yanqing, and Yang Zhi to transfer 30,000 soldiers and horses from Datong Mansion and Yinzhou to enter Zhengzhou. In addition, Jerusha's whole army was on alert, and if the Central Plains changed, he would immediately abandon the Dading Mansion. Change the town of Datong Mansion, and at the same time divide troops to help Hedong Road, echoing the Tiger Pass. ”
After saying a series of orders, Zhao Yougong's whole body strength seemed to be drained, and he sat directly in the chair, if everything became a reality. At that time, the only thing that can be saved is Gyeonggi Road and Jiangnan, and occupy the Tiger Prison Pass at all costs, that is, to drive a nail between Zhengzhou and Luoyang, and completely lock Luoyang's passage north into Hedong and Hebei, but all this is just defense, at that time, Guangnan, Liangzhejiang Road, Jingxiang land, Henan and a large area of land south of Shuzhong will fall into the hands of the Chai family. In other words, half of the land of the Great Song Dynasty will not be under the control of the Dingguo Army.
It's terrible, it's really terrible, Chai can be said. Who are you? Who the hell is it?
I'm afraid no one can answer the question in Zhao Yougong's heart, because the answer can only be given by the future situation, Da Song is a game of chess, and he always thinks that he is the strongest controller, but he didn't realize that he was not so smart until today. The exact direction of this game is also becoming more and more confusing.
At this time in Luoyang City, Chai Keyan's fingers plucked the strings, and the corners of his mouth had a smile like a spring breeze. Suddenly, with a flick of her right index finger, there was a small gap in the map hanging on the wall. That missing place is Tangzhou.
Zhao Ling, where are you, is this surprise enough?
The winter of the first year of Taikang was colder than any previous winter, maybe the goose feather snow had not yet come, but that coldness had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, at least Zhao Yougong couldn't feel the slightest warmth. Even with a vigorous brazier in front of him. I thought about it a lot, but I hoped that everything I guessed would not come true, because if that happened, everything in the past between myself and Chai Keyan would become nothing. Except for Zhao Yougong himself, everyone else in the house has already retreated. At this time, everyone knew that the regent needed to think quietly. Half-squinted, only the sound of charcoal burning in his ears, recalling everything that happened with Chai Keyan, there was beauty and pain.
I still remember how cold and glamorous Chai Keyan was when she grew up in Genyue Garden, and her appearance overshadowed how many women in Genyue, the plum blossom in the snow, proud of her bones, temperament like an orchid, proud of frost and snow, and the talent and wisdom that did not belong to Zhu Niangzi. Since then, I know how different the Cheshire Lord is when he grows up, and he has a wrist that puts all the men in the world in the palm of his hand, and no man in the world can refuse the beauty of the Cheshire Lord, even if he Zhao Ling can't. That night of assassination came as promised, accompanied by Zhao Kai's crow's mouth, fled to Manyun Lake, under the bright moon, on the silent rockery in the middle of the lake, there were many unbearable past events, that night, and since then they have been stumbling together. From Guanzhong to returning to Bianliang, it seems that everything has the shadow of Chai Keyan, and he once doubted Chai Keyan, when this thought just came out, Chai Se's death made him cut off this idea.
But is it all a show? If the matter of Manyun Lake is fake, if Chase's death is premeditated, if that love is fake, then what else is true? Chai Keyan, how deep is your heart?
I don't know when, Zhao Yougong stood up with a heavy heart, the bright moon was shining outside, taking advantage of the sparse shadow of the trees, like a group of wolves like devils with teeth and claws. No matter who Chai Keyan is, the road to go must continue, in short, the affairs of Goryeo must be accelerated, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will change, even if the entire Goryeo is defeated, what is the use of exterminating the entire Liaodong? No wonder they all say that "if you go outside, you must first settle inside", this sentence is not said in vain.
There are hidden changes on the Goryeo Peninsula, and at this time, the Jingshi Bianliang City also feels a kind of depression, the military newspaper has been sent back, looking at Zhao Yougong's own handwriting, Xiao Zhiyun's expression became more and more solemn. In some ways, Zhao Yougong's thoughts coincided with her, but she was not happy at all, because she and Zhao Yougong also didn't want that kind of conjecture to become true, because in that case, wouldn't it mean that Chai Keyan would play everyone between applause? This woman is so terrible, so terrible that it makes people tremble in their dreams. A woman, what supports her step by step to this point, just to restore the glory of the Chai family?
When Xiao Zhiyun got the military report, the news was quickly conveyed to Xijin Mansion and Guanzhong, and then they responded urgently. After Niu Gao got the urgent report from the Beijing Division, although he felt that Princess Xiao was a little worried, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he still evacuated most of the soldiers and horses from Tangzhou, but Niu Gao still did not implement it thoroughly, and he was still reluctant to Xiangzhou, so he left Wu Jue with 20,000 soldiers and horses in Tangzhou. Tuoba Qingyun, who went deep into Yulin, did not think much about it as soon as she received the order from the Beijing Division, and directly ordered the withdrawal of troops from Yulin. Traveled southwest of Jingxiang into Shuzhong, and then the whole army was stationed at Jianmen Pass. Since ancient times, the Shu road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, the mountain road has eighteen bends, and the nine curves of the intestine road, I don't know how many heroes and heroes have been worried. Tuoba Qingyun felt that he was stationing at the Sword Gate Pass. Retreating to Jianmen Pass, it is by no means how much she trusts Xiao Zhiyun, she has always been not very cold to this Daliao princess, the reason why she withdrew her troops happily is really because the situation in Guangxi is too complicated, especially the weather conditions are very bad, only two months, many soldiers have contracted a vicious disease, and they have gone deep into the bamboo forest to fight. It is really not the director of the Dingguo Army, and it is not easy to exterminate the monkeys in the mountains, so it is better to withdraw the soldiers and horses and cooperate with the main army to deal with the Chai clan. In Tuoba Qingyun's mind, as long as the Chai clan and Tian Xingmao's forces are eliminated, the forces will naturally collapse. With the withdrawal of Tuoba Qingyun, the Yulin Prefecture rebel party, which had lost its balance and balance, directly captured Liuzhou and marched in the direction of Yizhou. For a time, the situation on the entire Quang Nam West Road was corroded to the point of no return. In this regard, Tuoba Qingyun was indifferent. And Xiao Zhiyun also turned a blind eye to this, for the sake of the overall situation, they ignored the voices of the people in Guangnan and did not send a single soldier.
At this time, Zheng Biao also seemed to hide in the mountains and forests, disappeared without a trace, and entered the middle of the lunar month. This mountain battalion active in the Fuzhou area seemed to have disappeared suddenly, no matter how Ye Dahu and Tian Xingmao tossed, this army was stunned and did not move. Zheng Biao is not a real soldier, and sometimes he looks like a bandit, but he has an advantage. That is, the strict implementation of military orders. The military order given to him by Xiao Zhiyun is that unless a new military order is issued, the whole army will hide in the mountains and forests and stay still, and the order is like this, and Zheng Biao will also carry it out. It was Zheng Biao's soldiers and horses that made Tian Xingmao feel like a fish in his throat, because these thousands of mountain battalion soldiers were fierce, and they could cause a big mess in the rear of Tian's army at any time, so Tian Xingmao had to divide his troops and horses to pay close attention to the rear.
In Guanzhong, in order to cooperate with Xiao Zhiyun's practice of shrinking his troops, Zhu Lian also transferred back the army stationed in the Western Regions, all of which were under the command of Pang He, and in addition, General Xiao Yue, who was under the control of the Western Regions, also entered Guguan. In order to ensure that Guanzhong was foolproof, Zhu Lian also transferred Wu Liang from Niu Gao, and asked him to garrison Shangluo Road with the old general Zhang Gong with 5,000 elites and 10,000 new troops from Dayangtan. A series of movements of the Dingguo Army, which seems to be a shrinkage of troops, is actually full of flexibility, and the same behavior also keeps Guanzhong and the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to ensure the south of the Yangtze River, Niu Gao has ordered all the soldiers and horses of Xiuzhou and Hangzhou Yanchang to be transferred to Wujiang and Kunshan in the south of Suzhou Prefecture, in short, the Dingguo Army is like two clenched fists, which can be fought out at any time. Of course, the real killer move is the army led by Lin Chong and Hu Yanqing, and the Tiger Prison Pass is the top priority, if this nail can't be nailed in, then Luoyang will have no worries.
The troops and horses in the Great Song Dynasty were frequently mobilized, and Goryeo was also not idle, and on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the Dingguo army, which had only rested for a few days, moved again. Early in the morning of this day, a fleet suddenly broke through the fog and appeared on the island, fifty miles south of Nampo, which had a beautiful name, Ganghwa Island. In later generations, Ganghwa Island was a famous naval base, but now Ganghwa Island is still a small fishing island, there are dozens of families living on the island, who have been fishing for a living for generations, when they saw countless huge sailing ships rushing out of the fog, they were directly frightened and knelt on the ground, and there were words in their mouths. This fleet was personally led by Li Bao, the commander of the naval division, and the purpose of coming here was to use Ganghwa Island as a springboard to directly attack Renzhou. After arriving at Ganghwa Island, Li Bao took a look with a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and then ordered, "All the departments are scattered and all the roads on the island are blocked, from now on, no one is allowed to leave the island, and whoever dares to leave will be killed, and in addition, no one is allowed to leave this island for any reason and enter the thirty miles of Inju without an order from the general." ”
Li Bao's order can be said to be very strict, but it is necessary, otherwise the soldiers would not have known the importance of this march. Take Renzhou, but for the sake of Hanyang City behind, Cui Zhuo in Hanyang City has nearly 10,000 soldiers to fight, and there is a strong city as a support, it is destined to attack Renzhou can only be taken quickly, can not be delayed, once Cui Zhuo reacts and sends troops to aid Renzhou, the final price paid will be unpredictable. The Dingguo Army is absolutely unwilling to do more consumption in Inju, and Li Qinghao of the Hanjiang River in the east and Li Ziqian in the north are still waiting for the opportunity to take a bite, and delaying it will only give them a chance to take a bite.
Wenshan Tianwang Village, Kim Tae-hee knelt on the cushion, opposite Zhao Yougong kept knocking on the table with a calm brow, at this time Kim Tae-hee was like a docile little wife, and even a little aggrieved, no wonder Kim Tae-hee was like this, it was really a bit too much for His Royal Highness Zhao. Although the body was given to His Royal Highness Zhao, His Royal Highness Zhao didn't care about Kim Tae-hee these days, and seemed to have forgotten that there was such a person, which made Kim Tae-hee feel at a loss, and even had the idea of being abandoned after using it.
"Your Highness, you haven't said anything these days, everyone in the army has strange eyes, what kind of person do you say Taixi is?" As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yougong raised his head, "Your Royal Highness Princess, what kind of person do you say you are?" This king said, if you want to continue the rule of the Jin family, this king will let you be a queen, if you can't hate it, you will honestly go to Bianliang, is it difficult to understand? ”
"Me, me" Kim Tae-hee's face was slightly red, she didn't know how to answer for a while, she really didn't know how to choose, it seemed that it was very difficult to choose which one, she wanted to be a queen, but as Zhao Yougong said, these days, her heart is really not ruthless enough, and even with the innocence and kindness of a little woman. If everything is good in Goryeo, her character will be passed down as a good story, but at this time, Goryeo is not kind and can be saved, and only a person who is decisive in killing can do it, is she Kim Tae-hee suitable?
You can't answer that, can you? Kim Tae-hee, what this king said, you haven't thought about it carefully, since you follow this king, this king will keep you safe for the rest of your life, but this king has no obligation to take care of no Korean people. Therefore, there is no need to say the next words, the power of Li Qinghao in the Han River must be erased, you want to surrender is not impossible, first take the food supply for 400,000 people for half a month, as long as you do this, this king will agree to your request.
