Chapter seven hundred and sixty seventh Lord Song's defeat
The war between Song Chengxuan and Li Xu lasted for two days and finally subsided.
Uncle Lei reported: "Li Xu's army was blocked in the valley by the uncle. All of Li Xu's lieutenants were killed and injured. Li Xu is at the end of his road and has been killed by the uncle."
Xu Qinghuan nodded after receiving the news, but what surprised her was that Li Xu did not use any plan to escape in the end.
The scouts sent back news that Zhou Yue was found near the Onan River. Zhou Yue and his generals were there to fight against the Tatars. This was obviously deliberately arranged by Li Xu.
Li Xu trusted Zhou Yue the most, and this arrangement was probably to find a way out for himself. Li Xu knew that he had no chance of winning when surrounded by Song Chengxuan, so he stayed to end the fight, which was not quite like his character.
Xu Qinghuan didn't think about this. Everyone has their own choice, and they bear their own consequences.
Uncle Lei continued: "The uncle will immediately leave for the defense to resist the Tatars. The situation there with the prince is not very good. The Tatars have sent more troops than we thought."
Xu Qinghuan's heart just dropped, and he asked again: "Did the guard station send back any battle reports?"
Uncle Lei immediately comforted him: "Don't worry, grandma. I have already mobilized troops to go to the guard station. Although the situation there is tense, there is no guarantee that something will happen."
How could she not be worried? Although Song Chengxuan had made arrangements, his brother was just starting out, which did not make people feel at ease.
Xu Qinghuan told Uncle Lei: "The uncle is also going to the Border Guard Station, and we will follow him."
Before Uncle Lei could speak, he heard a sound coming from outside, and then Song Chengxuan strode into the door.
Song Chengxuan didn't take off his armor, he just handed the long sword to Yong Ye.
Xu Qinghuan stood up and was about to come forward.
"Sit down," Song Chengxuan said, "say a few words and I'll leave."
Xu Qinghuan nodded and wanted to bring tea to Song Chengxuan, but Song Chengxuan stopped him and helped him sit down on the bed again: "The situation was urgent before and I didn't stop you if you wanted to investigate the case. It's different now. The case is clear. The next step is
my business.
There is an emergency at the guard station. I will go to the rescue with troops and horses overnight. You are too heavy to follow. I will ask someone to stay and take you to Fuyu Guard. Fuyu Guard is very close to the Luqu River, and the Luqu River
Wei will send you any news."
Song Chengxuan's eyes were calm: "Qing'an and I will be fine. Only if you are fine can I feel at ease."
Xu Qinghuan pursed her lips: "I listen to you."
She spread her arms and gently hugged Song Chengxuan. The armor on his body was slightly cold. She raised her head in his arms and smiled slightly: "My husband will win the battle."
Song Chengxuan turned around and left the room. Xu Qinghuan immediately felt the desertion around him. They had just met and separated again without saying much. Fortunately, the darkest time was over and they would soon be able to welcome the light.
Xu Qinghuan came all the way to Fuyuwei.
The current Fuyu Guard is a little more nervous than before the war started. There are many soldiers guarding the guard post, and fortifications have been built in front of the guard post. There are military tents everywhere in the city, and many injured and injured people have been treated.
Mr. Liao and Mrs. Chang are busy.
The voice of a soldier came from the military tent: "Our prince is really powerful. We have won battles in Changzhou before. When the Japanese saw him, they would flee in all directions. King Jian's troops in Fengyang were also defeated by the prince.
"
"Not only that, the war in the northwest is also related to the prince."
Xu Qinghuan frowned and looked at Mrs. Chang: "Are these all wounded soldiers from the Luqu River Guard Station?"
When mentioning this matter, Mrs. Chang seemed very calm: "Grandma, don't be surprised. As long as you stay here for a few more days, you will get used to it. If you want to know about the Crown Prince, ask them as soon as possible. We can tell which one of them is who by this alone."
Which one comes from the Lunqu River Guard Station, and which one comes from the Onan River Guard Station."
These people are indeed very conspicuous. In just a short time, they all look like dandy boys in the capital with their eloquent expressions.
"The prince is very talented in fighting," Mrs. Chang said. "He is indeed the eldest son of the Marquis Anyi."
Madam Chang was originally praising her brother, but when she heard it, she felt a little guilty.
"What did my brother do?" Xu Qinghuan couldn't help asking.
Mrs. Chang said: "There is no definite news from the guard station, but if I listen carefully to the words of the wounded soldiers, I can still glean some truth from them."
Mrs. Chang is right. If you peel away those flattering words, you can see the clues.
"The prince probably learned how to use fire attacks in the northwest. We deceived the Tatars and poured a lot of gold juice on them.
The prince also said that the battle flags on the city wall should be hung up frequently, and the flags of Governor Ma and Governor Song should be displayed from time to time. On one occasion, the flags of the Li family were also hung up. Those Tatar flags were also hung up.
People didn’t know who the officers and soldiers were guarding the city. When they saw the fire in our city, they thought we were being cut off and wanted to take advantage. But what was waiting for them was Governor Ma’s artillery.”
The flags of the generals were frequently changed on the city tower, all red and green. If my father knew that his brother treated the city wall as his own backyard, he would definitely be furious.
"This flag was of great use later. I heard that Governor Song was coming to rescue the city. At that time, it was inevitable that the city would be destroyed. After sending the people in the city away, the prince and his people used Governor Song's flag to fight with the Tartars.
When the Tatars fight, shout in front of the Tatars that he is Song Chengxuan, the general appointed by the imperial court."
"The results of it?"
When someone asked, the wounded soldier straightened his waist, with a proud expression on his face: "Of course we lost. There are so many Tatars, how can we win?"
The audience was very disappointed.
Xu Qinghuan's expression couldn't help but change. Mr. Song had never lost a battle in his two lives, but unexpectedly he was "defeated" at the hands of his brother.
The wounded soldier continued: "However, we left a deep impression on the Tatars. They just said that we were useless. When Lord Song arrived, those Tatar soldiers rushed forward without fear of death. Hahaha, let's
Governor Song was completely defeated."
Xu Qinghuan's eyes jumped, hoping that Mr. Song would not hear these words.
Two Lord Songs suddenly appeared on the battlefield. The first one was naturally a fake, but the second one was the real one.
"After Master Song arrived, the Crown Prince would hang up Master Song's flag from time to time and lead us in sneak attacks. We succeeded six times out of ten. That's how I was injured."
Xu Qinghuan felt that it was better not to continue listening. As long as she pretended to know nothing, she could turn a blind eye to someone looking for trouble or asking for mercy.
"Is the prince injured?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
The wounded soldier thought for a while and said: "The prince is seriously injured, but in order to win this battle, the prince cannot easily come down for treatment..."
Xu Qinghuan frowned. She didn't have to listen to what the wounded soldier said. She walked out of the tent and looked at Uncle Lei: "I'll ask him alone later. Just say that I'm worried about the prince. If I hear what he said just now again,
,At once……"
What she could do to a wounded soldier was to comfort him and hope that he would change his ways and not fall into his brother's big dye vat and be unable to climb out.
"I'm reminding him not to spread the news about my brother pretending to be Mr. Song." Otherwise, if he meets someone from the southeast, he may be secretly reported.
They cannot return in triumph with a group of soldiers who have diarrhea and diarrhea.
After hearing the news about Song Chengxuan and his brother, Xu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief. The Tatars would probably leave if they couldn't take the guard post for a while, and additional troops from the imperial court would come. There should be a turnaround soon.
After relaxing, Xu Qinghuan also felt tired and asked Feng Chu to accompany her back to the house to rest.
After a good sleep, he was about to get up when he heard a voice outside: "The prince is injured and has been brought here by the prince of Shunyang County."
