Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seven: Attack Song
It is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital of Tang to the border of Song. Even if the army rushes non-stop, it will take at least four months to arrive.
And even if you arrive, it will be difficult to recover without a few days of rest.
But Zhao Changqing has made up his mind, and now is a good time to attack the Song Dynasty.
He had not yet arrived at the Song Kingdom, and had not been known by Song spies. When he was attacking the Song Kingdom, the entire Song Kingdom was already in panic.
The reason starts three days ago.
Jian Yi and the others are not as safe as Jing Ke. They still have to find an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Tianxing, the regent of the Song Dynasty.
They chose a straightforward method, which was to assassinate Zhao Tianxing on the street.
The six of them formed a sword formation and killed Zhao Tianxing in an instant.
He didn't even have a chance to resist.
Then, Jianyi and others bravely rushed out of the city.
Coming and going again and again, it's like entering a deserted place.
At first, the Song court did not know who assassinated the regent.
Moreover, the assassination was done in the street, which can be described as extremely arrogant.
But when the young emperor of Song Dynasty heard the news, he was already happy.
Only recently did he learn the news that the capital of the Tang Dynasty had been captured.
Immediately afterwards, the regent died.
You don't need to think about it to know that Wei Guo must have taken action.
It seems that the Emperor of Wei still knows what happened back then.
When the Wei army invaded the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Qingcang of the Tang Dynasty sent people many times to request reinforcements from the Song Dynasty, and the regent agreed. However, the Song emperor argued hard and refused, and missed the request for reinforcements over and over again.
The best time for Tang Dynasty.
In the palace.
After hearing the news of the death of the Prince Regent, his close ministers all rushed here to meet with His Majesty the Emperor and ask how to deal with the aftermath.
They were happy to see the death of the regent.
Now, even the huge Tang State has been destroyed by Wei State.
Can the Song State, which has never been known for its use of force, be a match for the Wei army?
Definitely not!
Therefore, the only way to go is surrender!
This is almost tacitly understood by everyone.
However, people from the regent Zhao Tianxing's lineage did not think so. They believed that even if they wanted to subjugate the country and exterminate the species, they would have to fight to the death. What would it be like to surrender without a fight?
Therefore, under the active leadership of this faction, the current Song Dynasty has been in a stage of hesitation, which has caused various domestic problems.
Now, once the regent dies, everything will be over.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty looked at the ministers and said: "After his death, many generals under his command must be unwilling to accept it. Only by fighting hard can it be possible to prevent the great power of their lineage from falling by the wayside."
Shen She, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, said in confusion: "Your Majesty, are you saying that it is extremely possible that the warriors of the Regent's lineage will use force to seize power?"
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty nodded, "Among them, there are many masters of land immortals. I'm afraid that if they have evil intentions, it will be difficult for us to deal with them, and we need to think of a complete strategy."
Hearing the sound, the officials were at a loss as to what to do.
Faced with the existence of this kind of combat power, it seems that all resourcefulness is not enough.
Seeing their reaction to the beating, the Emperor of Song Dynasty shook his head, quite helpless.
As long as there is one person who can be compared with Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Wei, he will not have to worry about his subordinates after the death of the regent.
"I have just issued an edict to call back all the imperial guards and prepare to surround and kill them all in the morning tomorrow morning."
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty came up with this strategy and had no other choice.
However, the ministers were still timid and worried that the emperor would not be able to deal with these warriors, so on the second day, many people took the opportunity to fall ill and did not attend the morning court.
However, since the matter has been decided, the Emperor of Song will not be worried.
He mobilized all the masters in the imperial city and spent all his efforts, including himself participating in the battle, to kill all the warriors of the Regent's lineage and prevent a disaster from happening.
Only then did all the civil and military officials realize that their Emperor had been hiding his secrets.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty was in the realm of land gods.
But all this has little to do with Zhao Changqing, who has been marching.
After the death of the regent, judging from the state of the passive peace-seeking party in the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was completely defeated. Under the iron heel of the Wei army, the Song Dynasty would not even have a chance to struggle.
When he was about to arrive at the frontier of the Song Dynasty, Cao Cao and others sent news that the other half of the Tang Dynasty had basically been recovered.
Many states and counties surrendered without a fight after the fall of the Three Daos.
At this moment, Bai Qi was beside Zhao Changqing. After he learned the news, he was overjoyed and quickly bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, congratulations, you are one step closer to the goal of unifying the world!"
Unification of the world is also his goal.
Zhao Changqing was naturally overjoyed.
His words revealed great confidence. It seemed that he was now the leader of the world. "Now, it depends on how long we will take down the Song Dynasty."
Bai Qi solemnly said: "Your Majesty, the Song Kingdom has never been good at using force. This time, the leader of their main war faction, the regent of the Song Kingdom, was killed by the Sword Master again. I'm afraid that now the entire Song Kingdom
A feeling of uneasiness has permeated everyone above and below, and the total number of combatable soldiers in the Song Dynasty is less than a million. How can they fight against my army?"
At this time, Zhuge Liang came to the two of them and said with a smile: "General Bai Qi's words are reasonable, but we should not underestimate him."
At this moment, he would say these words to remind the soldiers not to underestimate the enemy.
In fact, even he committed the taboo of underestimating the enemy.
There is no way, it's because the opponent is too weak.
Although the comprehensive national power of the Song State was stronger than that of the Liang State.
But in terms of military strength alone, it was far from the original Liang Kingdom.
Even Beiliang, the army can destroy it in one go.
Do you still have to worry about the Song Dynasty that only knows about singing flowers and making the moon?
Luoyang area.
At this moment, the prince and others also knew the emperor's thoughts.
Taking the opportunity to turn around and attack the Song Dynasty.
This news shocked them.
It is estimated that only the emperor would dare to do such a thing.
In order to destroy a country, the army must be very tired at this moment.
I should have returned to China, had a good rest, and used the past few years to firmly control the Tang Dynasty, and not hesitate to launch an army to attack the Song Dynasty.
But what?
His Majesty, the Emperor of Wei State, decided to divide his troops to attack Song State.
Most people would simply not dare to do this.
The key is that we can rest assured that Cao Cao and his men have millions of troops in the Tang Dynasty.
This also requires a certain amount of courage.
Only today does Prince Zhao Hongqing finally understand what it means to be trustless when employing people, and not to trust people when you are suspicious.
Zhao Changqing arrived at the Song border and rested for about five days before letting Bai Qi lead the army to attack the city.
I thought that this border pass would need to be attacked at least several times before it could be captured, but no one expected that the Song army surrendered without a fight after just one charge.
Zhao Changqing simply couldn't believe this.
I have seen various versions of surrenders, but this is the first time I have seen them surrender without a fight.
No matter what, winning the first battle is always a good thing.
Seeing that the Song Dynasty was so weak, Zhao Changqing thought that the Song Dynasty was already in his pocket, so he was not as anxious as when he first arrived.
