Chapter 1404: Shen Tang enters Xiangyang and gathers at the General’s Mansion
Xin Feiguang returned to the general's mansion with a gloomy expression. However, only about two-quarters of an hour later, noisy footsteps were heard outside the door!
"General, it's not good!"
Before he finished speaking, a personal guard hurried in.
"Li Jinglong had people lure away our people and open the south city gate! Now, Shen Tang has led his troops into the city!"
brush!
Xin Feiguang suddenly stood up and said, "The thief misled me! How could I have forgotten this white-eyed wolf! Damn it..."
Li Jinglong, the commander-in-chief of the Guanghua Army! One of the reasons why he secretly opened the city gate was because the Guanghua area was close to the disaster area. Although they each had their own affiliations, his Guanghua Army was related to Bian Xi's Zaoyang Army. Yes, there is harmony between the two! Secondly, during the bloody battle between the Guanghua Army and the Jin soldiers, Xin Feiguang not only did not send reinforcements, but instead continued to weaken their supplies, causing them to retreat to Xiangyang City after a disastrous defeat.
After entering Xiangyang City, because he only had a few remnant soldiers in his hands, Xin Feiguang did not pay attention to him. Therefore, there was naturally no shortage of various suppressions.
In addition, Li Jinglong often corresponded with Bian Xi and admired Shen Tang very much! Therefore, when he saw Xin Feiguang guarding Xiangyang and blocking Shen Tang's troops from the city, he had already guessed Xin Feiguang's intention! Therefore, he immediately He told his personal guards to find a way to divert Xin Feiguang's soldiers and horses, and then opened the city gate to let Shen Tang enter the city.
As long as Shen Tang enters the city, Xin Feiguang won't have time to trouble him.
The Lieyang Army guarding the city gate did not have much defense against the soldiers and horses inside the city.
Therefore, the Guanghua Army mobilized the tiger away from the mountain without much effort and allowed part of the Lieyang Army to leave. As for the remaining soldiers and horses, Li Jinglong led the troops to directly control them!
"Go, summon the Dark Blade immediately! Follow me out of the city!"
Knowing that Shen Tang has entered the city, Xin Feiguang has no chance. His only chance is to rush to Lin'an first and start from the court! Whether it is to be transferred to another place or to seek self-protection, it is better than letting Shen Tang do it here directly. .
Although there are only a few hundred Dark Blades in his hands, they are the elites in the army, and they are also the dead soldiers under his command! At the beginning, there were dozens of Dark Blade troops who went to Shenjia Village!
The guard turned around and left, but after a few breaths, he stepped back with a look of panic!
"Why don't you go quickly?"
Xin Feiguang was furious!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened again, and Tong Chuan and Bi Zaiyu stepped in with a sneer!
"General Xin, where are you going?"
Bi Zaiyu said coldly! He is Shen Tang's confidant. Xin Feiguang dared to disobey orders and keep Shen Tang out of the city, so he is naturally an enemy!
"Come here! The Jin soldiers have just retreated. In order to prevent accidents, the general's mansion is sealed immediately!"
Tong Chuan was even more straightforward and asked his soldiers and horses to surround the general's mansion.
"Tong Chuan, you are so presumptuous! I am a loyal and military general conferred by the imperial court! You dare to surround the general's palace with troops. Do you want to rebel?"
Xin Feiguang shouted angrily!
Tong Chuan sneered, "Rebellion?
Disobeying orders on the battlefield, I think you are the one who wants to rebel! The general is in charge of all the troops, but you dare to disobey orders and disrespect him. You simply don’t know how to live or die! Come on, come forward to protect General Xin. Without the order of the general, this No one is allowed to leave the General’s Mansion!”
"Go, according to the commander's military order, summon all the soldiers and generals in the city! If the time for burning incense is not up, you will be punished according to military law!"
Ever since Li Jinglong opened the city gate, the generals in the city were shocked! They knew very well that after Shen Tang entered the city, he would definitely settle accounts with Xin Feiguang. Although they did not openly disobey Shen Tang's orders, they at least There is a charge of being an accessory! Therefore, for a while, the generals were considered to have evil intentions!
However, not long after, the troops under Shen Tang and Cheng Yuhu entered the city one after another! These more than 20,000 elite cavalry directly made some people's little thoughts disappear! There are indeed many soldiers and horses in the city. , However, firstly, Shen Tang is the commander-in-chief appointed by the imperial court and has the power to command troops. Secondly, although Shen Tang has not many soldiers and horses, more than 20,000 cavalry want to overwhelm tens of thousands of local soldiers and horses in the city. But it’s also easy!
Now, they have no other choice but to surrender to Shen Tang! As for Xin Feiguang's life and death, who cares?
When they received the order to gather at the general's mansion, these generals did not hesitate at all. In less than a moment's time, they all gathered together!
After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, noisy footsteps sounded outside the door of the mansion! The door opened, Shen Tang stepped in, and Xin Qiji and Cheng Yuhu followed him on the left and right.
Shen Tang ignored the generals in the courtyard and went directly into the hall in front! It wasn't until Shen Tang sat down on the main seat that Cheng Yuhu shouted, "Generals, come in and pay homage to the commander-in-chief!"
All the generals entered the hall anxiously, and they all knelt down and said, "General, please see the commander-in-chief!"
"Generals, please rise and take your seats!"
Even Xin Feiguang was dragged into the hall by Bi Zaiyu and Tong Chuan and sat down!
"Since the end of last year, when the Jin soldiers went south, Wu Lin raised troops from Sichuan and Shu, and went north to Fengxiang Mansion to fight fiercely with the Jinxi Route Army! However, the Jin soldiers fought bravely, and although they had a small victory, they were ultimately defeated! In this battle, the Jin soldiers lost their troops and the Lizhou soldiers lost their generals. The horse was also seriously injured! What’s more, it’s a pity that Wu Lin was dedicated to serving the country and led the troops on the expedition, but in the end he couldn’t withstand the defeat, so he died of illness and Lizhou!”
"Although our Song Dynasty was defeated in this battle, Wu Lin and his Lizhou soldiers showed the majesty of our Song Dynasty and killed tens of thousands of enemies! Therefore, the Jin soldiers were unwilling to give up and gathered troops at Fengxiang Mansion again. !In order to cooperate with the battle of Fengxiang Mansion, the Jin soldiers mobilized tens of thousands of troops from Henan and marched to Xiangyang!"
"I was ordered to do so at a critical moment, and was ordered by the emperor to take charge of all the troops and horses to fight against the Jin Dynasty! The troops and horses of all the troops were brave and fearless, and fought in decisive battles one after another. Finally, they defeated the Jin soldiers in Fengxiang Mansion. The commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom, Tu Dankening, led his troops to admit defeat! Then both sides retreated!"
"At the same time, the military power in Xiangyang is very strong. With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, they have conquered important places such as Suizhou and Guanghua. It is only thanks to your concerted efforts to defend Xiangyang that the Jin soldiers were defeated! Therefore, I will retreat later. I will meet with the imperial court, explain the battle in detail, and ask for credit for everyone present!"
Shen Tang's words made many people present feel relieved. As long as it's not a punishment, that's fine!
"Thank you very much, Marshal!"
The generals spoke quickly.
"Although we have done little in Xiangyang, in the end it is the commander-in-chief who has contributed the most! First, he won a decisive battle at Fengxiang Mansion, and then he sent his troops thousands of miles to defeat the Jin soldiers and relieve the siege of Xiangyang. We respect the commander-in-chief's military power!"
Shen Tang waved his hand and suppressed the words of the generals, "I don't dare to take credit. It's just that your majesty gave me the order and I don't dare to disappoint your majesty, the court, my brothers and the people of the Song Dynasty! Moreover, the reason why I can win is that I The commander does have some merits, but after all, his soldiers will fight to the death, otherwise, how can we achieve such a great victory!"
