Chapter 2032 I have hurt you, now it's time to save you
Liu Qi, who had no choice but to lead his troops back to Yongqiu City, still inspected the city defenses, patrolled the city, and discussed strategies to retreat from the enemy with Chen Gui and other advisers. He still did not dare to neglect at all. However, the Qi Dynasty army led by Xiao Jiasui could do nothing.
The Song court's imperial troops were not allowed to defend the city wall, but the troops and horses of the various departments under the command of Liu Qi were also helpless against the Qi army's movements outside the city.
However, when the Qi and Song armies were facing a stalemate in the Yongqiu area, a large number of Qi troops had gathered in front of Luoyang City, where the Henan Prefecture was located. As soon as they reached the city, they immediately deployed stone-throwing artillery and assembled elite troops.
The troops and horses immediately launched an overwhelming and violent offensive against Luoyang...
After all, the Qi Dynasty occupied Hedong Road and Hebei West Road, Nanzhou Prefecture and Junzhou. If they wanted to send their troops to the Henan Prefecture in Xijing of the Song Dynasty, they would only be separated by Mengzhou Junzhou during the journey.
It is easier to get thousands of armies than to find one general. The combination of famous generals such as Liu Qi and Chen Gui and capable city defenders is a rare and rare combination of famous ministers and generals among the armies of the Song Dynasty. Henan Prefecture, Mengzhou
The Song army guarding the area was shocked to hear that the Qi Dynasty was brazenly invading. The whole city was in panic. The soldiers in the city were panicked and their morale was completely lost. In fact, in accordance with the official imperial order, Qin Hui ordered Yue Fei and three others to be escorted to Yang Yi in Luoyang, Henan Province.
Zhong even had no choice but to accept the order in the face of danger, and immediately took over the city defense and military affairs, trying his best to withstand the violent attacks of the Qi army...
Rows and rows of trebuchets threw countless stone bullets at the Luoyang city wall. The remains of crushed and blown away equipment and corpses scattered everywhere on the city wall. The strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke mixed together and filled the air.
Everywhere was extremely tragic. Especially when all kinds of firearms and artillery shells hit the top of the city wall, causing pieces of ruined walls to burst into flames. The fierce fire ignited by the spreading fire oil baked the city wall, and the heat wave was rolling, and a large number of people were frightened.
The soldiers of Song Dynasty, whose livers and gallbladders were split with fear, retreated one after another.
After several forcible attacks, the city pass north of Luoyang, Henan Prefecture, was crumbling, and the combat strength of the Song armies was uneven. It was obvious that compared with the Song armies led by Liu Qi, the commander-in-chief of the capital, the Song court generals stationed in the city here did not fight a tough battle.
The will and fighting power to fight fiercely...
Even though Yang Yizhong was also a lieutenant general who was good at running the army, when he was defeated at Jiangnan West Road and broke through, most of the elite members of his direct line who had been trained by him were lost. Not long ago, they were transferred to the Imperial Army Division in Bianjing. At this time,
He had to accept the order in the face of danger. Most of the weak soldiers and generals who were in charge of the headquarters were lax in military affairs and struggled to resist the fierce attack of the Qi army. It was indeed a skillful woman who could not make a meal without straw.
However, just when Yang Yizhong, who was struggling to support the situation, thought that the next offensive of the Qi Dynasty would inevitably be more fierce. The Qi Dynasty army outside the city suspended the offensive, and the strong bow and crossbowmen loaded hundreds of arrows on the shafts.
The feather arrows tied with the military memorandum were shot into the city. When Yang Yizhong received the military memorandum presented by the sergeant and opened it, he saw that it read:
The soldiers and civilians guarding the city of Luoyang know that although the two dynasties are currently fighting against each other, your majesty governs the world with benevolence and righteousness. The sons and daughters of the two dynasties are all the pure sons of the Han family in the Central Plains and are connected by blood, so they cannot bear to punish them. Now I am sending you an edict of grace.
Fu, advised the Luoyang army and people not to offend the thunder, surrender to the Qi Dynasty, support the mountains and rivers, and promote the country. He also heard that the three generals Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and Zhang Xian were imprisoned in the Luoyang prison. In this way, the lives of these three people were saved, and they were willing to lead the army and the people.
After opening the door and accepting the offer, the leader will definitely reward you generously and write a memorial to ask for your reward. The people in the city will only care about their jobs and wait for the pension.
If there are officials in the city who are unwilling to surrender, God is kind enough to open up one side of the net, and people should follow suit. Our court will also stay in the south, and the east gate will not be attacked or besieged, and we will allow you to abandon the city and escape, and return.
Bianjing of the Song Dynasty. However, if someone is stubborn, violates the harsh edicts, and kills Yue Fei and other loyal and kind people, our army will fight together. When the city is broken, the soldiers will go everywhere without harming the good people, but the military commanders and government offices in the city will commit crimes.
Evil officials and soldiers will not show mercy if they are punished for their crimes! I advise the soldiers and civilians in the city not to make mistakes, otherwise it will be too late to regret!
After Yang Yizhong read the military document sent into the city by the Qi Dynasty, his brows immediately knitted into a knot. The other party used both kindness and power to try to coerce the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City to surrender. This was not surprising.
But the most surprising thing is that the other party named Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and Zhang Xian, three criminal prisoners who had been escorted to Luoyang Prison in Henan Prefecture for a short period of time, and wanted to save their lives. The words were harsh, and they were bound to be frightened.
The two husbands, Wan Qixi and Luo Ruji, who had not been in office for a long time, must not attack Yue Fei...
Xiao Tang's arrangement was also reminiscent of the original work of Water Margin in which Wu Yong Zeng admonished and issued headless notices in the city of Damingfu, which was so frightening that Liang Taishu of Damingfu did not dare to kill Lu Junyi and Shi Xiu. In fact, he also experienced Guan Sheng during this period.
Besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, Song Jiang's troops returned to Liangshan, devised a clever plan to win Guan Sheng, and captured Suo Chao on a snowy night. Song Jiang was seriously ill with back carbuncle and could not return his troops to Liangshan. Zhang Shun went to ask An Daoquan to come for treatment. It was a long process. And Liang Zhongshu's thoughts on Liangshan
The threat response was indeed "I intend to kill Lu Junyi and Shi Xiu, but I am afraid that I will anger Song Jiang. The imperial court is in a hurry and has no troops to rescue them, so the disaster will be accelerated. I have to guard the two of them, report to the capital again, and let Cai Taishi punish me."
.It also had an immediate effect, not to mention that now that the power of the Qi Dynasty was approaching the city, how could the treacherous Xiaoxiao in the city dare to do anything wrong during this period of time, who originally planned to attack Yue Fei?
The memorandum also stated that even if the Song court officials and generals refused to submit, the Qi Dynasty would guarantee that as long as they were willing to abandon Luoyang and hand over Yue Fei and three others, they could evacuate on their own and return to the Song court... and with Yang
Yizhong's knowledge also knew that the Qi Dynasty must have done this to teach Wan Qixi, Luo Ruji and others to throw rat weapons, at least to keep a bargaining chip to save their lives, so as not to harm Luoyang during the period when Luoyang has not been conquered by the Qi army.
Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and Zhang Xian lost their lives. It seems that even if they were at odds with each other, Emperor Xiao Tang of the Qi Dynasty really put a lot of thought into saving Yue Fei's life.
But if Yue Fei died in prison, it would undoubtedly be the Song Dynasty's self-destruction of the Great Wall. Of course, it would be of great benefit to Xiao Tang without causing any harm. Why did he deliberately want to protect the lives of Yue Fei and the other three people? Zhemona Xiao Tang
Do you think that now that Yue Fei has been unjustly slandered and persecuted, deposed from his official position, deprived of military power, and suffered so many unjust tortures, there is an opportunity to recruit him to surrender? Or...that Xiao Tang is just thinking about the past.
You have a personal friendship with Yue Fei, and even if they are incompatible with each other, you still can't bear to see him die unjustly?
The more Yang Yizhong thought about it, the more complicated his mood became. However, for such a major matter, he, a military general who always knew how to use his methods when serving the powerful, knew that he could not make the decision, so he could only carry the military documents sent into the city by Qi Chao.
, quickly went to the Henan government office to ask for instructions. Wan Qixi and Luo Ruji, who had not yet had time to show their official power after taking office, and acted secretly according to Qin Hui's instructions, decided...
As for Wan Qixi and Luo Ruji, two powerful and traitorous party members who were originally officials in the capital but were temporarily transferred to Henan Prefecture secretly by Qin Hui to do dirty deeds, they have been on pins and needles for the past few days.
His master, Qin Hui, didn't even know that the Xiao Tang Qi Dynasty would negotiate a truce with the Song Dynasty slowly, but these days were quiet, and when there seemed to be room for peace talks, he suddenly turned his back and launched a large-scale invasion, even killing people from the east of Hebei Road and the west of Hebei Road.
The incoming army was overwhelming and marched directly to the gates of Luoyang City, Henan Prefecture.
In the past, they relied on favoring and authoritative power to help Qin Hui eliminate dissidents in the court. The rampant appearance when the party was united and opposed by different parties was gone. Wanqixun and Luo Ruji were so frightened that they could only huddle in the government office in panic all day long, and summoned their predecessors from time to time.
In their eyes, Yang Yizhong, who liked to curry favor with the powerful, had always looked down on him. When asked about the situation of the defense of the city, he could only use kind words to encourage him to defend Henan Prefecture from being breached by the Qi army and to save the city.
The two of them will not be captured by the Qi army, they can still complete Qin Hui's secret order, and they can return to Bianjing to continue to enjoy official status and wealth.
However, today Yang Yizhong came in person to present the military document sent by the Qi army into the city. After reading it, Wan Qixi, Luo Ruji and others did not bother to put on a good face towards Yang Yizhong anymore. They looked at each other with hesitant expressions.
Uncertain, Luo Ruji thought for a moment, then squinted at Yang Yizhong, who was standing respectfully in the hall: "Qi Dynasty soldiers said in their message that as long as they are willing to hand over the three criminal ministers and thieves, Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and Zhang Xian, they will be evacuated.
Leave Luoyang City and let us leave... It's really hard to explain to the court if you are so afraid of fighting and retreating, let alone Yue Fei... Haha, this is a big matter, but you can make a decision easily? But
