Chapter 031: Another Soldier

"Li Gang, when you weren't lecturing at Zhongnan Mountain in the early years, you studied the art of Zhou Gong. Tell me about it, what is the explanation of my dream? ”

Li Gang, who hurriedly entered the palace after receiving the summons, had not yet stood firm on his heels, and after Zhao Huan asked him directly, his eyes were firmly fixed on him.

Being stared at like this by the emperor, Li Gang did not have the slightest look of fear. He looked at Zhao Huan calmly, and said with a slight frown: "The water comes to cover the cangmuran, the old people of the West Mountain are still famous, the five elements are only lacking in gold, and there is gold and a name in his name." The Pleiades Venus is a boy, the sword holds up half the sky, and the Pleiades Venus plus the sword should be a Liu character. ”

After thinking about it for a while, he continued: "The name moved Xishan, and at the same time said where he was, it should be in Xishan, that is, Hedong Road in my Great Song Dynasty. Point to save the Great Plains, the big characters plus a little is too much, and the Taijia Plain should be Taiyuan. And according to the poem, there is also an "old man return", this person should be the son of the old ministers of the court. There is a person named Liu Jinming or Liu Ming, which should be the name of this Ying Mengneng Chen. ”

At this point, he stopped abruptly, looked up at Zhao Huan again, and said, "Your Majesty, if you analyze it according to what you see in your dream." This person was in the yamen of a certain lord in the court at that time, and this person was in Taiyuan City at this time. If His Majesty finds this and grants military power, the siege of Taiyuan will be solved. ”

"Ridiculous." Before Li Gang's words were finished, Zhang Bangchang, the left servant and the servant of the door, had just walked into the main hall, and when he heard Li Gang say this, he immediately retorted: "Taiyuan has long been surrounded by Jin soldiers, if there is really the person you said in the city, then why let Taiyuan be surrounded by Jin soldiers?" ”

Hearing Zhang Bangchang's words, Zhao Huan's face twitched slightly, and he thought in his heart: Yes! If that white-clothed scholar was really in Taiyuan City, how could he make the Jin people besiege the city?

Seeing the hesitation on Zhao Huan's face, Li Gang bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the strength of the golden dog is not something that can be driven away by one person." The capable minister of your dreams, no matter how strong his ability is, it is difficult to defeat ten thousand in the absence of sufficient and good fighting soldiers. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Huan's complexion changed again, and he thought in his heart: Yes! It is difficult to make a boat alone, and no matter how good the general is, if he has no soldiers, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy. I don't have the impression that there is such a person as Liu Jinming or Liu Ming, and I don't think it should be my general of the Great Song Dynasty, and he must have no strong troops to use......

"Your Majesty, Duke Zhou's skills are credible, but you can't fully believe them." As soon as he saw Zhao Huan hesitating, Zhang Bangchang, who knew his nature swaying from side to side, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "There are more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan City? At least, there are 60,000 or 70,000 people now. Wang Yu has been fighting for many years, but he can't relieve the siege of Taiyuan and save himself, a yellow-mouthed child as His Majesty said, will he be more warlike than Wang Yu? ”

His face changed again, and Zhao Huan secretly thought: Yes, Wang Yu is in Taiyuan City. He has fought on the battlefield for many years and has made too many achievements for the Great Song Dynasty. With his experience and ability, he can't solve the siege by himself, will the young man in the dream who looks less than twenty years old at most have the ability to do it better than him?

"Tang Taizong dreams of virtuous ministers at night, and Xue Rengui pacifies the east." Li Gang looked sideways at Zhang Bangchang, who stood beside him, and said with some disdain: "Your Majesty's new ascension to the throne is the time to make great progress. At this time, it also appeared that Ying Mengxian should be the will of heaven. How can people who don't understand the mystical law know the will of heaven. I don't know the will of God, but I want to confuse the public here, it's ridiculous! ”

Seeing Li Gang say him with disdain, Zhang Bangchang was suddenly furious and shouted: "The so-called mystic law, the advanced people mostly live in the mountains and forests. You don't know anything about it, so what are you doing here! ”

"That's it!" Seeing that the two prime ministers on the left and right were about to quarrel, Zhao Huan finally restored the majesty of a monarch. He glared at Li Gang and Zhang Bangchang, and after thinking slightly, he said: "Whether this dream is true or not, you can only believe it." After all, Tang Taizong's dream of virtuous ministers at night, Xue Rengui's matter of protecting Tang Dingdong is true. ”

At this point, Zhao Huan thought briefly again and said: "I have decided that Feishu Taiyuan and Chuan will let Wang Yu and Zhang Xiaochun find someone named Liu Jinming or Liu Ming first. After finding it, at all costs, I will try to make it break through to meet me. In addition, let the reinforcements from all walks of life, such as the seed division, Zhekecun, Yao Gu and Zhang Hao, step up to the aid of Taiyuan City, and those who advanced the city were sealed and rewarded with 10,000 ingots of gold. ”

"Report ......" Zhao Huan's words were finished, and a long cry suddenly sounded outside the hall.

An envoy of the forbidden army ran into the main hall with a loud shout, and immediately knelt in front of Zhao Huan, holding a military newspaper and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong." The Golden Dog West Route Army defeated the troops of Xie Qian, Zhe Kecun, Zhang Sizheng and Fan Qiong, and was marching to the south of Taiyuan. Lord Xu Han implores His Majesty to give an order to reinforce the troops! ”

"Report ......"

Zhao Huan was shocked to hear that the Jin soldiers had lost four generals in a row, and before he came back to his senses, another messenger ran into the main hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty is not good, the Jingou East Route Army led by Han Li is approaching Bianjing City!" ”

"Ahh Hearing that the enemy army had arrived in Bianjing City, Zhao Huan was suddenly frightened to the point that his face turned pale and he screamed in shock.

Seeing this, Li Gang stepped forward and raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Han is not alone, and our army does not need to worry. As long as our army is trapped and waiting for help, we will not be able to confront it. When Zong Ze, King Kang and other Qin King's troops arrive, they will definitely be able to defeat them in one go......"

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. In the court of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Gang was an absolute leader of the anti-war faction. He had a good sense of strategy, but he forgot that most of the time the Great Song army was defeated because of the tactical defeat. At this time, hundreds of miles away, King Kang, who was under the banner of deputy marshal, actually did not come to lead the army to King Qin.

Zhao Huan is also a ridiculous monarch, he forgets that his Zhao Song dynasty is not the former Li Tang. Tang Taizong first had the so-called prosperous era before he got Xue Rengui. And at this time, he is a mediocre name, known all over the world, virtuous ministers, and his heart is getting cold. At such a time, he dreamed that Nengchen could not have the same ending as Tang Taizong back then......

……

In Taiyuan City, Liu Xing didn't know that Bianjing City had happened, and he couldn't know that Li Gang and Li Chengxiang, who had admired Li Gang and Prime Minister Li Cheng very much after reading the information in their previous life, were in a hurry at this time.

What Liu Xing knew at this time was that the golden dogs outside the west gate in front of him had retreated five miles to camp together with the other golden dogs of the three gates after the last time he was bombarded with five thunders. Looking at the looming and dense Jin army battalion commander ten miles away, Liu Xing couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

This suspicion stems from the fact that the Golden Dog has already transported a large number of siege equipment, and their soldiers and horses are far more than the Song army in the city. Wanyan Zonghan, who is the commander of the enemy army, will not be unclear about these situations, and Wanyan Xiyin beside him will not fail to give him ideas.

With his own five thunder techniques alone, he made the enemy retreat ten miles away? Liu Xing didn't believe that he had such a great ability, because there were many demonic cultivators among the enemy army. With his own superficial cultivation and mana, it was impossible for them to be completely afraid.

Then why did the enemy retreat so far?

Thinking of this, his eyes were still firmly fixed on the Jin army camp in the south, Liu Xing suddenly thought of something, and muttered in his mouth: "The suspicious soldiers are trapped in the city, and the army is going south." If the time is about the same, the Golden Dog should be that the Eastern Route Army has approached Bianjing, and Wanyan Zonghan, the old horseman, should let Yinshu go to sweep away the cities around Taiyuan. ”

Hearing Liu Xing's muttering to himself, Zeng Weijie, who had been promoted by Zhang Xiaochun and promoted to the guard of the West Gate, turned his head sideways and asked in surprise: "Doctor Liu, what did you say?" The golden dog is approaching Bianjing? Impossible, right? ”

Looking back at him, Liu Xing smiled helplessly: "If my guess is correct, at most outside the city at this time is only half of the golden dog during the previous siege." Fourth Brother Zeng, borrow me five more battalions of cavalry, can you make it up? As long as you give me 3,000 soldiers and horses, I will let him eat sesame seeds and throw watermelon. ”

"You're looking for me to borrow soldiers again!" As soon as he heard Liu Xing's words, Zeng Weijie immediately shook his head and said: "I don't have so many cavalry for you, I only have a thousand cavalry under my command now, and if you guess wrong, I won't have cavalry if the golden dog comes to attack the city." You are now a pioneer envoy, and you are looking for Zhang Xuan's envoy to go! ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Xingmeng turned around and said as he rushed to the city quickly: "If you look for Zhang Xuan, you can find it, as long as you give the master 3,000 soldiers and horses, and I will blow up the golden dog, don't think about returning to their bitter cold land......"
