Chapter 476 Shangjing Dark Tide

On November 19, 10,000 soldiers of the Dingguo Army sent a letter to Guguan to threaten Luanchuan, and Liu Guangshi, the defense of Xijing, urgently transferred troops and reported to Bianliang at the same time.

After Zhao Ji knew about this, he really couldn't cry or laugh, just for a Zhang Lei, is it worth making a big move? But Zhao Yougong did just that, and when he thought of the letter written by his nephew, he shook his head helplessly, for the sake of a Zhang Lei, is it worth meeting with the soldiers of the Dingguo Army? In desperation, Zhao Ji issued a royal decree to remove Zhang Lei Guozi from the post of supervising the wine, and demoted him to his home, never to use it, as for the reason, it was inappropriate words and insulting the royal family. Zhang Lei is the wronged leader, didn't the official family let him write the essay, why is the black pot now let him carry it himself, I remember that Cai Xiang also said at the beginning, as long as the writing is good, he will be promoted, now it is good, if he is not promoted, he will be demoted to the common people, and the most important thing is to never use one.

Zhang Lei was demoted out of Bianjing, when everyone thought that Zhang Lei would return to his hometown in such a disgraced manner, they never thought that Zhang Lei's convoy was robbed as soon as he left Beijing, and his family's property was robbed. Everyone knows who did this, except for the lady Zhu, who else will protect His Royal Highness King Qin like this, but if you know it, no one dares to say it. Moreover, Zhang Lei became poor and lost his official position, but he was very happy, and some businessmen even applauded the robbers in the teahouse restaurant.

A group of officials in Bianjing are really a little concerned, don't offend His Royal Highness King Qin in the future, Zhang Lei just wrote a painless article. That's what happened to me. If you offend ruthlessly. Isn't that a loss of life?

At the end of November, the land of Guanzhong was already cold, and strong winds swept in, as if to indicate another drought in the coming year. At this time, Zhao Yougong gathered all the generals to discuss further army reform, and now the headquarters of the Dingguo Army plus the personnel of each department have a total of nearly 100,000 people. With so many people, it will definitely not work according to the previous system. In this reform, the title of the Dingguo Army remains unchanged, and it is divided into battalions, capitals, squads, and teams. There are 10 people in each team, 100 people in each class, 1,000 people in each 10 class, and 10,000 people in each battalion. The commanders of each layer are the battalion commander, the capital leader, the squad leader, and the team leader. Such a military system is also to be different from the imperial court system.

Among them, the Dingguo Army is divided into 11 battalions, except for Zhao Yougong's personal soldier Ruifeng Battalion, the rest are the North Battalion, the West Battalion, the East Battalion, the South Battalion, the Kaishan Battalion, the Dingshan Battalion, the Security Battalion, the Dingbian Battalion, the Huaide Battalion, the Zhenrong Battalion, the Jishi Battalion, and the Deshun Battalion. Except for the cavalry of the new Dingguo Army, all the other battalions were scattered and incorporated into the original Dingguo Army by the original Guanzhong Border Army. This not only ensured combat effectiveness, but also prevented the former old generals from gathering the border troops in Guanzhong to make trouble. Thereinto. The commander of the northern battalion was Wu Jue, and the other battalion commanders were Niu Gao, Gao Chong, Lin Chong, Liu Jian, Xiao Yue, Yao Gu, Ye Jingtang, Huang Yun and Yang Zhi.

Among them, Han Shizhong was the commander of Dingbei Metropolitan of Gongwei Wuzhou Linfu and Yinzhou, Xiao Zhiyun was the commander of Dingnan Metropolitan of Gongwei Hanguguan to Lingtai Mountain, and Niu Gao was concurrently appointed as Dingdong Metropolitan to garrison the Hongganshan area in the south of Hongzhou.

After the discussion, everyone was very puzzled, and the four of them were all in control, except for one person who was the chief leader of Qin Fenglu, which was a little strange. Originally, everyone thought that His Royal Highness Zhao would let Wu Jue concurrently serve as the commander of the Dingxi Capital and the area of Qinfeng Road, but they didn't expect it to be empty. In fact, vacating the control of Dingxi is also helpless, and it is naturally best to let Wu Jue concurrently serve as the commander of Dingxi Capital, but at present, the situation in Yinzhou is confusing, and the Xixia people may counterattack at any time, Wu Jue is inseparable from Yinzhou in a short period of time, Xiao Zhiyun and Niu Gao also have their own responsibilities, so they can only be empty, if they can't convince the big guy, they can only transfer their old father-in-law to Qinfeng Road. However, if the old father-in-law goes to Qinfeng Road, no one will care about Dayangtan. Hey, although Huang Yun was the commander of the Jishi Army before, it was okay for him to charge into battle, and he was reluctant to lead one side, and even the old father-in-law was a little reluctant to make it difficult, Lin Chong? General Lin also has to guard the Hezhong Mansion, and he is inseparable from him. In the final analysis, Yang Zaixing and Yue Fei are too young, if these two goods are more mature and stable, it is not impossible to lead one side alone.

After the discussion, Zhao Yougong left Xiao Yue, and after the two came to the study, they sat opposite each other, Zhao Yougong asked with a sad face, "Brother, that huge general still refuses to let go?" ”

Calling Xiao Yue a brother is also because of Xiao Zhiyun, Xiao Yue didn't feel anything unnatural, anyway, the princess will be the concubine in the future, and it is not an exaggeration for His Royal Highness to call him a brother. At this time, Zhao Yougong frowned sadly, Xiao Yue's face was not very good, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Your Highness, although Pang He has been repeatedly excluded in Daliao and cannot lead one side alone, but this person is born in Beijing and is loyal to the royal family, and it is too difficult to persuade him to surrender." ”

"Is there really nothing that can be done?" Zhao Yougong really cherishes Pang He's talent, especially after hearing Xiao Zhiyun talk about Pang He, he is even more reluctant to kill him. Pang He was born in a Khitan aristocracy, in fact, Pang He was not surnamed Pang, but a member of the Bali clan, and after the Khitan surname rose, his ancestors took the surname Pang.

Pang, from Guangconglong, Khitan means mighty and extraordinary, invincible. Pang He did not insult this surname, he was familiar with military books since he was a child, practiced marksmanship diligently, and when he was a teenager, he fought thirteen Jingzhong gentlemen on the streets of Beijing. When he led the troops, when the Jurchens stormed Shangjing, he led 3,000 descendants to attack the rear of the Jurchens, causing the Jurchens to withdraw their troops and relieve the siege of Shangjing. Originally, Pang He could have become a Liao State handsome who did not belong to Yelu Dashi, but unfortunately he offended Yelu Yixin for some reason and was transferred to Xijing, and since then he has no chance to dominate the party.

Of course, there are many more deeds of Pang He, and from these things, it can be seen that Pang He's military talent, because Xiao Zhiyun rarely admires a person, and Zhao Yougong believes in Xiao Zhiyun's eyes.

Zhao Yougong hoped to find Pang He's weakness, but unfortunately Xiao Yue shook his head, "As far as the last general knows, Pang He has a happy family, a good family background, and a strong personality, not greedy, and can be regarded as impeccable!" ”

At this time, Zhao Yougong really hoped that Pang He was a greedy person, as long as people had weaknesses. can be breached. But you don't see the slightest weakness in Pang He. He is not short of fame, money, or women, and he is a big head.

Just when Zhao Yougong and Xiao Yue were worried about Pang He's matter, an incident happened in Shangjing at this time, at the end of the day, a fast horse entered the palace in Shangjing, and Yelu Hongji's face became solemn after getting the flying report. He hurriedly recruited Xiao Fengxian, Yelu Yixin, Zhang Lin and Xiao Yu and others into the palace, and delivered the urgent report to everyone. Several people also frowned. Among them, Xiao Yu's expression was the most complicated, he stared at the letter for a long time before saluting, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this letter is not credible, Pang He is well-known, and he will not betray my Da Liao." ”

Yelu Hongji showed a strange smile, and after looking at Xiao Yu for a while, he sneered, "Won't betray? How is Siu Tsz Yun? What about Xiao Yue? What about Pang Heby's Xiao Zhiyun? ”

"This majesty. With his life as a guarantee, the huge general will not betray my Daliao! Xiao Yu stiffened. Said seriously. It's just that he didn't notice that when he said this, a strange smile crossed the corner of Yelu Yixin and the others' mouths.

Yelu Hongji naturally won't listen to Xiao Yu's assurance, there have been too many things that have happened over the years, first Xiao Zhiyun, then Xiao Yue and Mu Ali, and that Xi Wang Xiao Gan, if it weren't for the strength of the B Army, he would have put Xiao Gan under house arrest now. Ponghe? He is not a great talent of the clan after all, with Xiao Zhiyun on the side and said, what is impossible for him to betray Da Liao?

"Okay, I'll listen to Xiao Guo's affairs, I hope the emergency report is fake, otherwise I'll hehe" The rest of the words can be imagined without saying it, facing the traitors and exterminating the nine clans.

Xiao Yu didn't know how to leave the palace, he was very depressed, and when he returned to the house, he kept pacing in the study, he was still relieved after all, he wrote a letter, and then called his cronies to the study, "Martin, you sneak into the Pang Mansion tonight, give this letter to Mrs. Pang, remember, after reading the letter, burn it immediately, if someone finds out when you go, you must destroy the letter first!" ”

"Yes, don't worry, the small ones will be done!"

Taking the letter, Martin hurriedly retreated and left the mansion, Martin's shoulders trembled slightly, as if in pain, but also as if excited. This night, Xiao Yu couldn't have imagined that there was an invisible net covering him, the so-called Pang He's rebellion, in fact, the real target was him Xiao Yu. One qiē is all Yelu Yixin and Xiao Fengxian's strategy, using the time when Yelu Yujian is not there, get rid of Xiao Yu, and then further get rid of Yelu Yujian, and finally the woman surnamed Xiao in the palace, when no one gives Yelu Hongji advice, Yelu Hongji will become a blind man, who is the world of Da Liao at that time?

Xiao Yu shouldn't have written this letter, but his relationship with Pang He, how could he not write it? He has known Pang He since childhood, he is both a friend and a brother, Xiao Yu's letter is actually very simple, it is to tell Mrs. Pang that no matter what happens, no matter what others say, do not leave Pang Mansion. If the Pang family doesn't leave the Pang Mansion, nothing will happen, and he can stop him from going back if anyone else says. It's a pity that Xiao Yu miscalculated people's hearts, many people in this world are helpless, just like Martin, if he doesn't drop this letter, his family will be ruined, and in order to save his own home, he can only sacrifice other people's homes.

Martin entered the Pang family, but he did not escape the eyes of the palace's "blood hammer", and when Martin entered the Pang family, someone sent the news to the palace. After reading the letter, Mrs. Pang burned it to ashes as instructed. After Martin left, Mrs. Pang woke up her family, put the two old men of the Pang family into the carriage, and took the two children with her, and the family of more than a dozen people left home in a hurry. Mrs. Pang would not suspect Xiao Yu, that is a good brother of her husband for many years, how could she harm the Pang family? Mrs. Pang believed it, but how could she have thought that the letter had been dropped, Xiao Yu did not let her leave in the letter, but after dropping the bag, it was the opposite. Fleeing in full view of everyone, the consequences can be imagined, Mrs. Pang's convoy was intercepted and killed by the master of the blood hammer, the second elder of the Pang family died on the spot in order to protect the child, and the servants of the Pang family could only protect Mrs. Pang and the two children and hurriedly fled west.

The Da Liao blood hammer is too terrible, they are all strong in martial arts, especially the servants can resist it, in the end, Pang He's eldest son Pang Tuo was killed, Mrs. Pang couldn't help but feel distressed, so she could only flee with her only son in her arms. Out of nowhere, a group of black-clothed people came out, and they desperately escorted Mrs. Pang out of Shangjing, and as soon as they left Shangjing, those black-clothed people disappeared.

Shangjing Palace, Yelu Hongji's face was extremely gloomy, and the temperature in the whole room plummeted, okay, I didn't expect Xiao Yu to really send a letter to the Pang family, and besides, the Pang family escaped.

Knock, footsteps sounded, and a black-armored warrior saluted, "The Pang family fled, and the blood hammer was ordered to intercept them, and they could have been killed, but unexpectedly a group of black-clothed people were killed, and those people were strong in martial arts, protecting Mrs. Pang and Pang Xu, the second son of the Pang family, and left Shangjing." ”

Bang, Yelu Hongji slapped his palm on the table, and a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, "What a Xiao Yu, I trust you so much, you dare to treat me like this." ”

At this time, Yelu Hongji had already counted the group of uninvited guests on Xiao Yu's head, because in the capital city, a group of masters could be dispatched, and there was no second person besides Xiao Yu who wanted to save the Pang family.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, Martin committed suicide!"

"Okay, good, good Martin who is loyal to protect him, go, put Xiao Yu on death row, I don't want to see him again!"

Yelu Hongji smiled distressedly, Xiao Yu is his confidant and beloved minister, why is he treating him like this?

In fact, Martin had good intentions, he didn't want to say something bad about his master when he was on trial, and now that he has saved his family's life, he Martin should also thank his master for his kindness. Martin had good intentions, but Xiao Yu didn't even have a chance to confess, is this the legendary good intentions doing bad things? Martin's death was unexpected by Xiao Guanyin, even if Martin didn't die, he would have committed suicide.

Xiao Yu was put on death row, and when he heard that the Pang family had fled and was intercepted by the bloody hammer, he knew that Martin had betrayed him. At this time, Xiao Yu did not have the slightest hatred for Martin, Martin must have his bitterness, otherwise it would be impossible for this well-known man to do such a betrayal of the master. If you want to blame, blame him Xiao Yu for not being determined, but even if he does it again, he Xiao Yu will still choose this way.

Now Xiao Yu has only one thought, that is, he wants to see His Majesty, but unfortunately, it is not His Majesty Yelu Hongji who is waiting in the gloomy prison, but Xiao Fengxian and Zhang Lin.

Xiao Feng asked everyone to step back first, and Zhang Lin put a tray on it, and there was a pot of wine and a few plates of good dishes on the plate!

Seeing good food and wine on death row is not a gift, but the end is coming. (To be continued......)
