Contrary to Zhao Guangyi's expectation, Jinyang City was not captured by his 200,000 troops, but it was defeated without attacking when he was in a desperate situation.
As Pan Mei expected, Yang Hao wanted to rush into the city. As a result, the rogue soldiers under his command with extremely poor military discipline soon turned into robbers who snatched men, women, and property.
In the spring season, the Yinzhou soldiers, still wearing big sheepskin coats and dog-skin hats, dragged the girls and wives, carrying large and small bundles on their backs, happily running out of the city as if they were going to a market, causing chaos in the place.
Jinyang City became even more difficult to control. Pan Mei sat on the horse with a calm face, suppressing her murderous desire and said to Yang Hao: "Marshal Yang, the city is already in chaos, but the troops under my command..."
Yang Hao looked ashamed and said: "Ashamed, ashamed, really ashamed. Yang wanted to atone for his sins, but these bastards were really dishonorable and made General Pan laugh. I immediately ordered his subordinates to withdraw from the city and let Pan
The general is responsible for controlling the entire city, but...but..."
Pan Mei was so smart, she understood what he was thinking when she saw his hesitating look. Pan Mei secretly despised her, but said: "Don't worry, Marshal Yang, you and I entered the city at the same time. If there is any merit, your share will be indispensable. Right now.
... Please also ask Marshal Yang to cooperate and gather your troops as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Yang Hao smiled brightly and responded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, we have an agreement. Come here, send the order, withdraw the troops. Anyone who refuses to retreat after hearing the gold will be killed without mercy!"
Yang Hao agreed readily because he had already seen Mu Yu. Mu Yu, leading a dozen personal guards, was escorting a woman and two children covered in plain clothes and quickly evacuated out of the city. Yang Hao had already seen his destination.
After arriving, the order to withdraw troops was immediately issued. The gong sounded, three short and one long, and the Yinzhou soldiers began to withdraw from the city with unfulfilled intentions.
After being defended by Pan Mei's men, the south city gate was opened from the inside, and Li Hanqiong's men came in cheering. Immediately afterwards, the east city gate was also opened. Facing the open city gate, Zhao Guangyi and Xiao Li were not smiling at all.
Jinyang City was actually won under such circumstances. Just when he suffered heavy losses, Jinyang fell due to internal mutiny. There was really no glory for Zhao Guangyi. Although he got rid of Zhao Dezhao, a thorn in his side, he has since
He was in a great mood at that time, but when he thought about how he mobilized his troops to conquer the Han Dynasty and ended up like this, Zhao Guangyi actually felt a sense of sadness.
When the generals on the left and right saw that Zhao Guangyi was unhappy, they thought he was grieving for his deceased nephew Zhao Dezhao, so they all tried their best to look sad and did not dare to show joy. Only the camp commander Tian Chongjin vaguely guessed some of Zhao Guangyi's thoughts.
Tian Chongjin was a general in the Forbidden Army who held a large number of troops. When Zhao Guangyi was the Yin of Kaifeng, Tian Chongjin was his most important friend. However, the gifts that Zhao Guangyi gave to Tian Chongjin were all returned by Tian Chongjin without exception. Tian Chongjin was only loyal to the emperor.
He will be loyal to whoever is the emperor and will never form cliques or interest groups.
Zhao Guangyi knew his character well, so after he became the emperor, he did not blame him for repeatedly insulting his face, and still reused him. But in any case, the two of them were somewhat unhappy before, and this has become Tian Chongjin's problem.
If there is a chance to ease the relationship with Jinshang, he certainly does not want to miss the opportunity.
Now that he had guessed why Zhao Guangyi was unhappy, Tian Chongjin took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Guan family, the King of Wu has suffered misfortune, and the mourners of the Guan family also feel the same, but the Guan family is not only the uncle of the King of Wu, but also the co-owner of the world.
, I also hope that the officials will put the world first and the country first, and be grieving and obedient, so as not to damage the dragon's body."
Zhao Guangyi made a noncommittal sound, and Tian Chongjin added: "Now that Jinyang is not conquering itself, this shows that Liu Jiyuan is going against the grain and is unpopular. And the officials' crusade against the Han Dynasty is an act of destiny, so the Han Dynasty
The common people, inspired by the benevolence of the officials, happily offered the city to beg for surrender. Conquering the world with benevolence is more valuable than military might. The officials were the benevolent masters of their generation, and they were able to achieve the result of defeating the enemy without fighting today.
Congratulations to Your Majesty for the great Song Dynasty."
When Zhao Guangyi heard this, he couldn't help but became happy. He glanced at Tian Chongjin with approval, nodded and said: "What Tian Qing said is that the Han people were inspired by me and took the initiative to dedicate the city to avoid the loss of life. I am also very happy.
Once the Han Dynasty was destroyed, the whole country of the Central Plains was in the hands of the Song Dynasty. The late Emperor must be very happy that he is alive in heaven. Tian Qing, please rush your troops into the city to help Pan Mei stabilize order. Especially Liu Jiyuan, you must find out.
His life and death will come back to repay me."
"The general will obey his orders."
Tian Chongjin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly accepted the order. Zhao Guangyi cheered up and thought to himself as he looked at Jinyang City with flames burning into the night: "Jinyang, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, has a lot of kingly aura. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, heroes have emerged here in large numbers. It's really...
A place of great danger. Especially this place is close to Khitan and the northwest. Once it is captured by others, if I try to attack it again, I don't know how many soldiers will be lost. This ancient city inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period cannot be left alone."
Thinking of this, Zhao Guangyi said in a deep voice: "Palm ***."
"I'm here."
"Remember, the ancient city of Jinyang, Benwei vassal town, was built with dangerous mountains and rivers, and the city walls were high and deep, which caused treacherous ministers and traitors to defy heaven and refuse orders. Because of their rebellion, they misled the army and the people. Now that it has been leveled, the proposal must be changed, and the people should be ordered to do so.
, Yongbao Ning. According to the order, the monks, Taoists, and gentry of Jinyang City moved to Luoyang, Xijing, and the ordinary people moved to Yuci. Well..., the population of Yuci County has increased too much, so let’s change the county to a state. I will pacify the Han Dynasty and join them together.
Shenzhou and Yuzhou were renamed Bingzhou, and Bingzhou was ordered to properly resettle the relocated residents and avoid causing trouble."
The pen is written with flying speed, writing down everything one by one.
Zhao Guangyi paused and then said: "After three days, Jinyang City will be burned. All buildings, palaces, temples and temples in the city will be burned down. When there is sufficient rain, Fen water will be introduced into Jinyang City to completely destroy it."
reduced to rubble."
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow, there will be a royal banquet to reward the three armies. I will write a "Ping Jin Fu" to record today's achievements forever in the annals of history. Ministers of civil and military affairs, at tomorrow's banquet, everyone will
I want to make a "Poetry of Ping and Jin" to harmonize with my "Ode of Ping and Jin"!"
Seeing that the emperor was re-energized, all the civil and military officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in unison.
Zhao Guangyi once again looked at the thousand-year-old city in front of him that was about to be destroyed, and thought smugly: "With Dezhao dead, my serious trouble has been eliminated. The Han Dynasty has been wiped out, and the Central Plains has been unified. I will definitely become a better brother than the emperor."
A greater emperor. I don’t want to be Taizong and always stand in the shadow of my brother. I want to conquer a wider world than my brother. After I live forever, my temple name... will also be called the ancestor!"

As soon as Yang Hao returned to the camp, Li Yide immediately greeted him. After whispering to each other, they quickly walked into the tent. As soon as they entered the tent and retreated, Li Yide immediately took out a letter from his sleeve and asked Yang Hao opened it and read it hastily. Li Yide couldn't wait to ask: "Commander, what does the letter say? How is the situation in Yinzhou?"
Yang Hao said slowly: "Li Jiyun broke through the many defense lines and has already attacked Yinzhou City. Li Guangrui personally led the army and swept all the way from behind. The Dangxiang Seventh Clan could not stop him. As expected, within a few days, he would also Will rush to Yinzhou."
Li Yide's face turned a little pale, and he said in an authentic tone: "Sir, is there any news from Xiazhou?"
Yang Hao shook his head: "No news at all."
Li Yide's face became even paler. Yang Hao glanced at him and suddenly smiled: "What are you worried about? Yinzhou... is not that easy to defeat. And Xiazhou... currently, there is no news, isn't it? The best news.”
Li Yide thought about it carefully and his face looked a little better. Yang Hao suddenly asked again: "Have Mrs. Yang and her child been brought back?"
Li Yide said hurriedly: "Yes, it has been sent to the commander's back tent. It is guarded by the closest guards. No one is allowed to enter without permission."
Yang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go see them."
Li Yide said anxiously: "Commander, Yinzhou has been surrounded and the fire is imminent. Let's now..."
Yang Hao smiled calmly and said: "Why panic, now is not the time for us to resign from the government. We must do it in a flawless manner before we can leave. You don't have to worry, I have already made a plan. You go now, Gather all the captive women together to obey the commander's orders. If the soldiers dare to disobey, they will be punished by military law. These bastards dare to fight, but this military discipline... is really worse than I thought. I have to beat them. Already."
Seeing that Yang Hao was calm and composed, Li Yide felt relieved and hurriedly agreed and left. As soon as Li Yide left, Yang Hao's face darkened. He didn't expect that Li Jiyun came so quickly. Yinzhou... At this time, Yinzhou and How similar is Jin Yang? How similar is his approach to Yang Jiye?
Yang Jiye secretly transferred an elite army out of Jinyang, using the dead city as bait to carry out a fatal blow; and he also transferred an elite army out of Yinzhou, but the difference was that there were two soldiers and horses he transferred out of Yinzhou. There are branches, one bright and one dark. The bright one is here, and the dark one is still trekking in the desert.
Yang Jiye's dangerous plan failed, what about him?
Thinking of Yinzhou, thinking of Dong'er, Yanyan, Wa'er and Miaomiao in Yinzhou City, thinking of the secret team that has no news now, how can Yang Hao not be worried and worried? But in front of his subordinates, he, the commander-in-chief, is absolutely panicked No. Now he wished he could immediately fly back to Yinzhou to take charge of the overall situation, but before eliminating the threat that Zhao Guangyi, the smiling tiger, might bring to him, he had to endure it for the time being, and he was anxious in his heart.
Yang Hao walked heavily to the door of the back tent, stood outside the tent, calmed down his emotions, put on a calm and confident look again, and then walked into the tent.
In the tent, Liu Jiye was unconscious, and Mrs. Yang and her two children were lying in front of the couch, looking at his pale face with worry and crying silently.
Yang Hao quietly entered the account, first looked curiously at Zhe Ziyu's sister, the legendary figure She Taijun, and then whispered: "Mrs. Yang, don't worry, General Yang just lacks physical strength and has suffered from blood loss."
That's all. I have asked my doctor to take good care of him. Because the military camp was too noisy, in order to let General Yang rest well, I gave him medicine to help him sleep, and he fell asleep. This was not due to serious injuries.
"
Mrs. Yang stood up after hearing the sound, wiped her tears, looked at him carefully, and asked calmly: "Are you from Fuzhou or Linzhou?"
Yang Hao secretly praised: "It's amazing. An ordinary woman wouldn't be able to think like this at a time like this. The woman from the Zhe family is really amazing."
He smiled slightly, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Mrs. Yang, I am not from Linzhou, nor from Fuzhou, but from Yinzhou."
"Yinzhou?" Mrs. Yang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly showed a look of surprise, and whispered: "Yinzhou...Yang Hao?"
"It's Yang."
Mrs. Yang looked back at her husband, who was still sleeping, and said: "Thank you so much for Marshal Yang's help. I... I heard my husband talk about Marshal Yang. Marshal Yang released my husband first time, and now he saved my whole family.
This is a great kindness, I am truly grateful."
Yang Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Mrs. Yang, you are too polite. My respected husband, General Yang, is brave and loyal, and is admired by others. I have always admired him, so why would I be willing to harm him? Besides, I am sworn sworn brother to Commander Yang of Linzhou and Commander Zhe of Fuzhou.
Jin Lan is a brother, and he has a deep friendship with your sister, Miss Yu, so given the opportunity, he will rescue her no matter what."
He fucked his hand, looked at the two children standing next to Zhe Ziyue and her bloated waist, and thought to himself: "I saw Yang Jiye had two sons next to him last time, and now there are two more, then she
Is it Yang Wulang who is pregnant in my belly?"
Yang Hao was thinking about it and said: "These two must be the third and fourth young masters of your mansion, right? General Yang led his troops to attack the camp last night, fighting all the way, and broke into the commander's camp in a daze. Fortunately, he was killed by the commander.
Saved. It’s just..., when I was in Yinzhou, I met the two young masters Yanlang and Yanpu, but they... I don’t know where they are? "
When he said this, Mrs. Yang couldn't help but shed tears and cried: "The three children Yanlang, Yanpu and Yanxun are all with their father. Now... now I'm afraid..."
When Mrs. Yang heard in the city that the surprise attack on the Song camp failed and that the moat was covered with corpses of Han soldiers, she knew that her husband and three children were probably in danger. Now that her husband was miraculously alive, it was an unexpected blessing.
How could she dare to imagine that her three sons could still be alive? When she thought of her three sons who were not as good as they were and died young, even though she was extremely strong, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Yang Hao did not expect that there would be a third young master, so the one Mrs. Yang was carrying in her belly was Liu Lang. Seeing Mrs. Yang shed tears sadly, Yang Hao was secretly regretting his mistake and didn't know how to explain it. Suddenly, there was a sound from beside him.
A weak voice said: "Zi Yue, he fought for the country, defended the country and guarded the borders, and died wrapped in horse leather. This is the true nature of a man. Why are you crying!"
"Husband!"
Mrs. Yang turned around in surprise and threw herself in front of the couch: "You're awake."
The two children also happily rushed to the couch and shouted: "Daddy."
Yang Jiye looked at his wife and a pair of children with relief, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, okay, I just want to say that my whole family, including the young and old, has all died for the country. I didn't expect that you are still alive."
He raised his eyes to look at Yang Hao, hesitated for a long time, and then asked in a low voice: "Jinyang...has been breached?"
Yang Hao shook his head, nodded again, and said: "Jinyang City has indeed fallen, but... it was not captured by the Song Army. After learning that the general died in battle and the attack on the camp failed, Liu Jiyuan sent his envoys out of the city to beg for surrender, but he
At this juncture, the envoys still wanted to show off their power, bully the people, and provoke the sergeants to mutiny, so... Jinyang City collapsed without attack..."
Yang Jiye didn't expect such an ending. He opened his eyes wide and was stunned for a long time. Suddenly he laughed miserably. Mrs. Yang said worriedly: "Husband, you have tried your best..."
Yang Jiye closed his eyes, slowly opened them again, and asked in a deep voice: "My Lord... how is he doing now?"
Yang Hao glanced back subconsciously and said: "When I entered the city to rescue Madam, I saw that the city was full of mobs and soldiers, and they were attacking the imperial city one after another. The palace was in flames at night, I'm afraid..."
Yang Jiye's dull eyes slowly moved to the ceiling, and two tears slowly flowed from the corners of his eyes to his cheeks. There is nothing more sad than the death of his heart, and his heart is already dead now. Yang Hao advised: "General Yang, for Han
Our country, the general has done all he can to be benevolent and righteous. The general situation is like this and cannot be undone by manpower. Why should the general blame himself too much?"
Yang Jiye was stunned for a while, his eyes moved slightly, and he turned to his wife. Then he looked at his two sons who were still full of childish faces, and touched their heads, with a loving light in his eyes. After a while, he looked at Yang again.
Hao, said in a low voice: "Marshal Yang, what do you want to do by saving my husband, wife and their young son?"
Yang Hao stared at him and said solemnly: "General Yang has a professional career and a loyal heart. Yang Hao has admired him for a long time. Last time in Yinzhou, Yang Hao expressed my sincerity to the general. It is still the case now. I hope
General Yang can be of use to me, and it will be a great joy for me to get help from you. I also ask the general to keep in mind that I am sincere and can return to Yinzhou."
Yang Jiye's eyes moved, and he asked closely: "Marshal Yang secretly tolerated me, a criminal official of the Han Dynasty. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor of Song Dynasty would know about it?"
Yang Hao immediately said: "If I have the support of the general, why should I fear the thunderous wrath of Emperor Song?"
It was clear that these words were contrary to what he meant, and Yang Jiye's eyes became more strange. Unexpectedly, Yang Hao followed up and said: "But... now that I am still under his roof, General Yang will have to suffer for some time."
When the time is right, General Yang can make his public appearance!"
Yang Jiye couldn't help laughing after hearing this. He looked at Yang Hao for a long time, looking at his sincere look and earnest eyes, and suddenly said: "My third son, Yan Xun, may not be dead yet. Now... I'll trouble my lord."
, I will go to Shaxiong Ridge for my subordinates to find him and come back."
Yang Hao was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed and agreed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the general has a good rest. I will go and pick up the young master right now!"
After the clouds opened and the moon came out, Yang Hao finally received Yang Jiye's euphemistic confession. He took Yang Jiye's token and listened to his detailed explanation of the situation on the Xiong Killing Ridge. He immediately left happily and called Mu Yu to give instructions.
After a while, Mu Yu immediately took a few people to Kill Xiong Ridge, and Yang Hao took the captive women and rushed to the emperor's camp.
Pan Mei was still in the city at this time, and Yang Hao handed over to the people and took the initiative to explain the situation. Zhao Guangyi was not in a position to blame him, but even pretended to praise him. In his heart, he was a little happy that Yang Hao's military discipline was so corrupt. Yang Hao explained clearly.
Immediately after he resigned, Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but said in surprise: "Yang Qing, Jinyang has been defeated and there is no more urgent military affairs. Why does Yang Qing come and go in such a hurry?"
Yang Hao said with a smile: "I'm not going to hide it from the officials. I heard that the officials will hold a celebration banquet tomorrow and ordered the civil and military officials to compose "Poetry of Ping Jin Dynasty" in response. I have little knowledge and am worried that I will appear ugly in front of the officials, so I want to go back early.
Put some effort first."
Zhao Guangyi thought of the song "Departure Watch" that he had plagiarized, and couldn't help but want to laugh. He tightened his face and nodded: "In that case, you can go back to the camp. At noon tomorrow, just go to the banquet on time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Hao bowed and retreated. He didn't turn around until he reached the tent. Looking at his back, Zhao Guangyi thought maliciously: "Li Guangrui should have attacked Yinzhou City by now. By the time he knows, I don't know.
What will it look like?"
Yang Hao left the camp, got on his horse, reined in the reins and looked at the thick smoke billowing from Jinyang City. He raised his eyebrows slightly: "From now on, it is my turn to sing this big drama, Yang Hao. I can't sing well."
Okay, I will definitely be a pro in the street; if I sing well, I will also be a corner player from now on!"
