When the dust and smoke dispersed, one could see the endless potholes. Shi Xinmao, who was the first to lead the Fuzhou troops to catch up, stopped immediately.
The sergeant who went to test the situation came back with a muddy foot and told him that he could not move forward.
Although the floods have receded, the land soaked by the floods is like a swamp. It is difficult for people to get down, and thousands of troops cannot get across.
Looking back at the Fuzhou people who had worked tirelessly to chase after them, I saw that they were almost exhausted.
After working so hard, he was about to get close to the rebels, but failed. Shi Xinmao looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh. He also knew that letting Wu Gongling escape would be in trouble.
After that, the pursuing princes had to take long detours, giving Wu Gongling another day or two to escape.
Everyone could see that this flood was definitely not unprovoked. It must have been caused by the Wu Gongling embankment bursting, and the purpose was to hinder the pursuing troops.
The monks around Wu Gongling, including Hui Qingping, all reacted, but Wu Gongling refused to admit it to his death. He was so shameless that he insisted on saying that it was his borrowed power.
What's even more outrageous is that he didn't hide it at all. He handed over the marriage deed written by Hui Qingping to his subordinates for circulation, so that the brothers could enjoy it together.
Wu Gongling kept silent that Hui Qingping was his woman, and ordered the army to call Hui Qingping "Mrs. Wu" whenever they saw her.
Hui Qingping was so ashamed and angry that she almost had the urge to commit suicide.
Facing Wu Gongling's shamelessness, Hui Qingping was completely defeated and returned to the Tiannu Cult.
To be precise, it was the Tiannv Sect who forcibly recruited Hui Qingping back. The Tiannv Sect believed that Hui Qingping had lost her mind and could even fall for such low-level tricks. What else could she do if she had not lost her mind? So she forcibly ordered someone to take her back.
It was replaced.
Hui Qingping returned home in vain, and soon the news spread throughout the world. Hui Qingping's reputation was completely destroyed at the hands of Wu Gongling.
Not long after Hui Qingping returned to the Tiannv Sect, she was removed from her position as an elder. She had become a complete joke in the spiritual world. It was inappropriate to continue to be an elder. Hui Qingping herself was so ashamed that she did not make any resistance and accepted the position of Tiannv.
He made the decision to abdicate and live in seclusion since then, but what he never forgets is to kill Wu Gongling...
"Oh, is there such a thing?"
Outside the city of Yanjing, outside a thatched hut among the green mountains and green waters, Niu Youdao stood with a sword and a pestle. After hearing this, he was somewhat surprised.
I was a little surprised when I heard that Wu Gongling's sudden defeat was to join forces with the Song Army. They were all fooled by Wu Gongling's fancy moves. This time, I didn't expect Wu Gongling to play this trick again, defeating the three major Korean forces without a fight.
The elders of the faction were forced to resign, only then did they realize that Wu Gongling was a bit interesting.
The so-called dark place under the lamp, Yanjing is the most dangerous place for him, but he has been hiding near Yanjing recently.
He had no choice but to do what he could. He didn't know how to fight a large army, so there was no use participating in it. Faced with the competition from all the major forces, running away would mean death if the monks in his hands ran away. In addition, in order to avoid the search of the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom.
.
Normally, the power that the three major factions of the Yan State can mobilize should not be underestimated, and hiding in the Yan State may not necessarily be able to escape. But now, even the three major factions are stretched thin in deploying their own forces, and it is difficult to launch a large-scale search for him.
Since Shang Chaozong was captured, he came to the capital area and met with Chief Situ Gao Jiancheng several times, asking Gao Jiancheng to pay close attention to the government's attitude towards Shang Chaozong. If he found out that Shang Jianxiong showed signs of killing Shang Chaozong
, demanding that Gao Jiancheng must use all the power he can use in the court, and Gao Jiancheng must cooperate internally and externally to rescue Shang Chaozong regardless of being exposed afterwards.
As for the Gao family, Niu Youdao will also arrange for their evacuation, and Gao Jiancheng himself will send them away on a bird mount as soon as possible.
Gao Jiancheng agreed to him, and he was really going to get there. Now that Yan's national fortunes were getting worse year by year, he was willing to give up the position of Great Situ.
Of course, before the last step, Niu Youdao did not want to expose Gao Jicheng, and Niu Youdao was hiding in the capital area just in case to plan the matter. In order to protect the life safety of Shang Chaozong, he was also looking for suitable opportunities to bring Shang Chaozong to justice.
If he is fished out, it is impossible for the imperial court to arrest Shang Chaozong and leave him alone.
As for the physical suffering suffered by the Shang Dynasty clan, he already knew about it through Gao Jiancheng, who personally went to see it in the prison.
Whether Shang Chaozong can understand this physical pain or not, he doesn't care. Explaining some things may not convince the other party, so Quan should let Shang Chaozong take care of the overall situation.
Guan Fangyi: "Yes, this matter has been spread throughout the spiritual world. People who have never heard of the Tiannv Sect come out to refute the rumors. There should be nothing wrong."
Hui Qingping could actually encounter such a thing. Niu Youdao recalled the sworn elder sister whom he had met several times and vaguely remembered the sense of superiority that emanated from her bones. He really didn't expect that he would be beaten down by Wu Gongling.
Okay, it’s funny to think about how depressed this must be.
But the situation in front of him couldn't help but make Niu Youdao sigh, "It seems that the rendezvous between Wu Gongling and the Song army is inevitable."
Guan Fangyi: "After Wu Gong Ling dug up the river embankment, it was no longer possible for the counter-rebellion army to catch up with him. Meng Shuai also believed that the imperial court's heavy defense line could not withstand Wu Gong Ling's torment, and the Song army's invasion of Yan was indeed inevitable.
.But it may not be a bad thing for the prince, it may be an opportunity to escape."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Shang Jianxiong to let go, and his face will be lost. It seems that Nanzhou has to take the initiative to put forward conditions." Niu Youdao nodded and said, Wu Gongling unexpectedly created an opportunity for him, but he couldn't be happy in his heart. Once
Han and Song invaded the territory of Yan State, and the internal and external situation made it impossible for Nanzhou to remain peaceful...
Wuli year 530, the beginning of the year.
Under the attack of the rebels led by the rebel general Wu Gongling of the Yan State, the Yan State's heavy defense lines were in chaos. The Song State took advantage of the chaos to cross the river and successfully invaded the Yan State at a very small cost.
In the camp, Shang Yongzhong, who had read the emergency report from the front line, slumped down on his chair, his face ugly, the emergency report in his hand fell to the ground, and his heart was full of panic.
His army had just bypassed the flooded area when Song's attack began. A general of Yan who had a head-on conflict with the Song army had already died in the battle. The war was at a disadvantage as soon as it started. The front line was in urgent need of help.
The princes of the road went to help plug the leak.
He thought that the counter-rebellion was a sure thing, so he came here to take the credit, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. The counter-rebellion not only failed, but also led to the destruction of the country. He couldn't bear this responsibility!
Shen Yuhong and others hurried into the tent and saw the miserable look on his face. They became angry and said, "Da Sima, the border situation is urgent. Do you still have the mind to be dazed? All the heavy troops on the border of the imperial court are under your command, Da Sima. Why don't you give the order quickly?"
Emergency?”
After returning to his senses, Shang Yongzhong quickly picked up the report and stood up, walked around the table and handed it to him, "The border army is asking for help, please ask the three major factions to immediately put pressure on Shi Xinmao's tribe in Fuzhou, Zhang Hu's tribe in Changzhou, and Xu Jingyue's tribe in Gongzhou."
, ordered the three troops to go over quickly to support and suppress the Song army's offensive. Here, An Xianzhao and Su Qi also want to rush there immediately. I will return to Beijing to see His Majesty immediately!"
Shen Yuhong grabbed his collar and said angrily: "As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, you don't go to the battlefield in person to command the battle. At this juncture, you ran back to the capital. The battle situation has come so far. By the time the decision is made, the battle situation has already changed. How can I give command?"
This truth was understood even by him, who did not know how to fight, but Shang Yongzhong stamped his feet and said: "Wrong, wrong. The real commander-in-chief of the entire army is Your Majesty, and the one responsible for commanding is His Majesty's military aircraft center. I can do many things by myself." If you don't know the master, you need to ask your Majesty to make a decision!" In order to avoid the emergence of a second King Ning, Shang Jianxiong restricted the military power of Da Sima.
And there was an excuse to shirk the failure of the counter-rebellion. What was the difference between letting him personally command the Yan army in battle and killing him? Once the battle was defeated, the head of his whole family would not be enough to bear such a big responsibility.
Shen Yuhong said angrily: "As the coach, you can't leave now. You must stay to stabilize the morale of the army. If the coach runs away, how can we fight this battle? You can just ask His Majesty to summon you on matters decided by him. Now you are not allowed to run around. go! "
Shang Yongzhong had no choice but to prevent him from leaving. While sending orders and urging several princes to rush to the battlefield quickly, he called Su Qitong and An Xian to come over for advice.
Afterwards, while reporting the military situation, he secretly wrote two letters to Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng, asking them to help him shirk responsibility for the failure of counterinsurgency that led to the destruction of the country, and promised to thank him afterwards!
On the border between Yan and Song, the Song army's offensive under the command of Luo Zhao was fierce. The Yan army was retreating steadily, and its momentum was unstoppable!
Since the destruction of Qin, there has been no war to destroy the country for a long time. After the Song State officially launched a full-scale attack, the world was shocked!
The wars were lost one after another, and the Yan court was in chaos. Various voices emerged, and even Tong Mo and Gao Jian Chengdu found it difficult to suppress them.
Faced with the pressure to accuse Shang Yongzhong, Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng still excused Shang Yongzhong, saying that the responsibility for the Wugongling rebels' escape and rebellion did not lie with Shang Yongzhong, and that the Wugongling rebels had already escaped when Shang Yongzhong went to take over the rebellion. , how can the blame rest entirely on Shang Yongzhong?
Shang Yongzhong was well-informed about the court. After hearing the news, he immediately submitted a memorial to defend himself and put the blame on the five princes, blaming them for their failure in pursuing and suppressing Wu Gongling.
The implication is not that everyone knows that he is accusing the five princes of supporting their own troops and that he cannot mobilize them with all their strength.
The so-called national crisis has meant that good generals are in need of help. It has reached a critical moment of life and death. Another voice that usually does not dare to come out comes out. It directly accuses the imperial court of not being good at fighting. It calls on the imperial court to release Shang Chaozong and let Shang Chaozong lead his troops to fight. .
This call came close to pointing out that Shang Jianxiong's previous decision to change generals before the battle was wrong, making Shang Jianxiong's face look ugly.
Of course, some people spoke for Shang Jianxiong, saying that even if Shang Chaozong was still commanding the counter-rebellion, he might not be able to catch up with Wu Gongling.
As soon as the five princes learned of the news that Shang Yongzhong had exonerated himself and shied away the responsibility, they were furious!
The situation is like this. The five princes have already seen that the Yan State, which is full of absurdities, cannot stop the decline. They can't command the people of the court. Seeing those people running around, they can only rely on a few of them to fight, and it will be useless even if they spend all their money. Now that we are fighting on the battlefield, they are still trying to shift the blame onto us. This is simply unreasonable, and it immediately arouses the secret intentions of the princes to conserve their strength and make other plans.
But under the threat of the three major sects, the five princes were forced to have no choice. If they didn't obey, they would die. They had to rush to the battlefield. But how to fight the battle? The monks of the three major sects couldn't force it. If you think my command is wrong, then you can give me some advice. Guidance, we will listen to you.
So it was useless for the men and horses of the five princes to join the battle, and they were defeated by the Song army. The monks who participated in the war had to retreat one after another. Thousands of troops and horses were beaten back. It was difficult for them not to retreat. Could it be that
Do you want them to rush forward and resist the siege of thousands of enemy troops and monks?
