Chapter 0627 Yang conspiracy is difficult to solve, only one death
Xiao Hui was also the uncle of the state, and he had outstanding achievements. He was considered a first-class general in the Song Dynasty.
Such a person was not crowned king in the Liao Kingdom.
Why?
Because he is not as good as Xiao Xiaomu.
Although Xiao Xiaomu's apparent achievements are not as good as Xiao Hui's, there is one thing: Xiao Hui will never be able to compare with Xiao Xiaomu in this life.
That is, Xiao Xiaomu has never lost a battle since he led the army until now.
But Xiao Hui had been beaten, more than once.
Even Zhe Weizhong had to deal with such a person carefully, how could Zhe Jixuan be able to deal with him easily?
After Zhe Weizhong scolded Zhe Jixuan, he left the mourning hall with a sullen face.
As soon as I left the mourning hall, I bumped into an old servant.
The old servant looked at Zhe Weizhong with a worried look, and whispered: "Master, your body and bones are ailing, so don't go out and run around. The young man will take people to Linzhou. You can quickly send someone to take care of Linzhou's people."
Report the war to the imperial court, and wait for the imperial court to send someone to take charge of the overall situation."
Zhe Weizhong looked at the white-haired old servant and sighed, "Uncle An, you are my grandfather's personal soldier. Accompany my grandfather, my uncle, my father, and my brothers."
, fought fiercely for decades.
Now that you can finally enjoy your old age, how can I push you to the battlefield again?"
The old servant heard this and murmured: "The old master has gone, and the two young masters have also gone. Several young masters died in the arms of the little old man, but the little old man did not die. Sometimes the little old man
I was wondering if the little old man was too tough and killed the old master, the young master, and several young masters."
When Zheweizhong's grandfather occupied Fuzhou, he was like a prince.
He neither claimed the title of king nor emperor, so his subordinates all called him the old master, and his two sons were called the young master.
Fuzhou returned to the Song Dynasty, and his family returned to the Song Dynasty.
It is naturally inappropriate to call me master again.
Therefore, his subordinates called the people of Zhe Weizhong's generation young master.
Zhe Weizhong heard what the old servant said and said in a deep voice: "Uncle An, don't talk nonsense. My grandfather, my eldest uncle, my father, and several of my brothers all died on the battlefield and were wrapped in horse leather.
This is the fate of our warriors and has nothing to do with you."
The old servant shook his head, "We old guys have experienced countless wars, large and small, and we have lived enough. The young master will give us a chance to follow the old master."
Just as Zhe Weizhong was about to refuse, he saw people with gray hair, wearing armor and holding helmets in their hands, appearing in front of him.
The old servant turned around and looked at the old brothers behind him, and whispered: "Among them, some have followed your grandfather, some have followed your uncle, some have followed your father, and some have followed you and yours."
Brother's.
They have the same thoughts as the little old man, they all want to contribute to the Zhe family when it is in crisis."
Zhe Weizhong was a little moved. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm still alive, so it's not your turn to go into battle to kill the enemy."
The old servant stubbornly shook his head, "We old guys all know how your body is. The young masters are still young and cannot carry the banner of the Zhe family. If you are ill, the Zhe family will be in danger.
We old guys should have died long ago, it doesn't matter when we die.
But you are different."
After the old servant finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Zhe Weizhong, "Master, please give us old guys a chance to follow the old master."
"Unlucky!"
Zhe Weizhong decisively refused.
The old servant immediately opened his mouth to argue.
Zhe Weizhong said very firmly: "This is a military order!"
The old servant opened his mouth, but couldn't say another word.
The old men lowered their heads one by one, held their helmets and disappeared from Zhe Weizhong's sight.
Zhe Weizhong stared at the old servant who had not left yet and said in a deep voice: "I will send people to watch you and not give you a chance to act recklessly."
The old servant sighed and lowered his head, his eyes slightly red.
Zhe Weizhong stopped talking and left the mourning hall with a long stride. He went to the place where weapons and armor were stored, put on his battle armor, picked up his sword, ordered two hundred soldiers, and rode towards Linzhou.
The Zhejia army was limited in number and guarded the important passes along the Great Wall, and could not easily move without permission.
Zhe Weizhong was confident that he could defend Linzhou with the Baode Army and the Linzhou garrison, so he did not dispatch any more troops.
Zhe Weizhong traveled all the way through starry night and arrived at Linzhou.
Liao soldiers are attacking Linzhou fiercely.
Zhe Weizhong rushed to the city head without resting, reorganized the troops and horses in Linzhou, and sent them to the city wall together to resist the Liao people.
When Zhe Weizhong appeared on the battlefield.
Xiao Xiaomu outside Linzhou noticed it.
Xiao Xiaomu sat astride a horse, staring at the offensive and defensive battles on Linzhou City, and said quietly: "The same troops have completely different defensive effects. In the past, they could barely resist our Daliao soldiers and horses, but now they can not only resist
It can resist our Daliao soldiers and horses, but it can also counterattack once or twice.
It should be Zheweizhong who has arrived."
Xiao Xiaomu thought for a moment and then ordered the guards around him: "Send the order and storm Linzhou City day and night. After two days, we will retreat after false defeat."
The personal guards quickly conveyed Xiao Xiaomu's military order to the army.
After Xiao Xiaomu's generals received the military order, they attacked Linzhou City with all their strength. In the evening, they lit torches, lit up the night sky, and continued the attack.
Zhe Weizhong had limited troops and horses, so he could not leave the city to counterattack. He could only resist the Liao soldiers' offensive by using tricks.
One battle lasted two days and two nights.
Zhe Weizhong didn't rest for two days and two nights, and kept watching from the top of the city.
Xiao Xiaomu had been controlling the heat. When the heat arrived, he decisively ordered the withdrawal and led the army out of Linzhou.
On top of Linzhou City.
When Zhe Weizhong saw that the Liao soldiers had retreated, he breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly suspicious.
Xiao Xiaomu always fought without retreating until he was victorious. Zhe Weizhong was very surprised that his retreat was so easy this time.
A victorious general led 100,000 elite soldiers, traveled most of the way to Linzhou, attacked Linzhou fiercely for two days and two nights, and retreated without hesitation after being unable to capture Linzhou City?
So what is he planning?
Is Cuncui so idle that he leads his troops out to have fun?
Zhe Weizhong felt that things were far from that simple.
Just when Zheweizhong had doubts and was about to go down from the city wall to think about it carefully, he rode a fast horse and rushed into Linzhou City.
Zhe Weizhong got the news and quickly got off the city wall.
The soldiers on horseback saw Zhe Weizhong and spoke very quickly: "General, Xiao Pidi, the deputy in front of the Liao Palace, led 50,000 elite Liao soldiers and 100,000 Liao town troops at noon the day before yesterday.
Outside Yinzhou, they stormed the Great Wall Pass on the front line of Yinzhou.
Now the generals at Yinzhou Pass are struggling to meet the enemy, and they need you to go over and take charge of the overall situation."
When Zhe Weizhong heard the news, he stood there stunned for a long time.
After coming back to his senses, he closed his eyes in pain and gritted his teeth and said, "The Liao people are really well informed."
The people around Zhe Weizhong looked at him in astonishment, not understanding what he meant by his words.
Zhe Weizhong slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Send people back to the house quickly and call Uncle An and others to rush to Yinzhou. Send people to report the war here to the court as soon as possible.
I will write a private letter later and send it to Bianjing City together with my aunt."
After Zhe Weizhong said this, he climbed up the city wall without looking back, entered the city gate building, quickly wrote a letter with a pen, put it in an envelope, and told the soldier who sent the letter,
Then he took the song with him, climbed on horseback, and hurried to Yinzhou.
Zhe Weizhong has probably guessed why Xiao Xiaomu, King of Yan of the Liao Kingdom, retreated so easily and what he was planning.
Xiao Xiaomu wanted his life.
Xiao Xiaomu probably already knew about his physical condition and the news of his mother's death, so he made such a plan and tortured him desperately until he died.
This is a conspiracy.
Even if Zhe Weizhong sees through it, there is nothing he can do.
He is the leader of all the troops on the line from Linzhou to Yinzhou Great Wall.
The Liao people invaded the south in a large scale. Without him, all the soldiers and horses from Linzhou to Yinzhou Wall would be at a loss.
His father and brother are both dead, and his son is young. No one can help him share the pressure, and no one can help him sit in two places.
So he could only run back and forth.
He can die, but his territory cannot be lost.
If the territory was lost because he did not appear on the battlefield in time, then even if he survived, he would blame himself for the rest of his life.
The wisdom forged with the blood of two generations of father and brother will be destroyed in his hands.
So even if he knew about Xiao Xiaomu's plan, he could only dig in willingly.
On the way to Yinzhou, Zhe Weizhong, who had not rested for several days, jolted on the fast horse for a long time, which caused the recurrence of old injuries. He fainted and fell off the horse.
The soldiers rescued him.
He refused the offer of his own soldiers to send him back to Fuzhou, got on horseback and rushed to Yinzhou.
After he arrived in Yinzhou, the war in Yinzhou was exactly the same as that in Linzhou.
Xiao Pidi led his soldiers and horses to storm the Great Wall on the front line of Yinzhou.
Day and night without rest.
He commanded Yinzhou's troops and horses, used every move to deal with Xiao's enemies.
When the old servants of the Zhe Mansion rushed to Yinzhou, Xiao Pidi retreated.
It was not that Xiao Pidi knew that the old servants of Zhe Mansion had arrived, but that he had stormed the Great Wall on the Yinzhou line for two days, and the time was up.
The old servants of Zhe Mansion were shocked when they saw Zhe Weizhong again.
The old servant, whom Zhe Weizhong called Uncle An, stared at Zhe Weizhong, whose eyes were bloodshot and his hair had turned a lot whiter, and exclaimed: "Master, what are you doing..."
Zhe Weizhong laughed miserably and said, "I'm probably going to die..."
Uncle An shook his head in horror, "No... No way... You are the backbone of the Zhe family. You cannot fail. If you fail, the Zhe family will also fall."
Zhe Weizhong gritted his teeth, endured the huge pain caused by the old injury, and said solemnly to Uncle An: "Uncle An, now is not the time to talk about this. The enemy is using a conspiracy, and I have no chance to crack it.
, you can only follow the enemy's thoughts.
The enemy led 150,000 elite troops and two small armies to attack Linzhou and Yinzhou respectively, just to make me exhausted between Linzhou and Yinzhou.
The enemy just wants to use this to kill me.
There is no one in the northwest who can take my place right now, so I will definitely die."
Two lines of clear tears flowed from Uncle An's eyes, and he shook his head in panic, "You can't die, you can't die... We won't fight, let's go home, let's go home."
Uncle An stepped forward, pulled Zhe Weizhong's clothes, and wanted to take Zhe Weizhong back home.
Zhe Weizhong stood there, motionless, and shouted loudly: "Uncle An, I can't go back. If I go back, Yinzhou and Linzhou will be in danger of being lost.
Once one of Linzhou and Yinzhou is lost.
It is very likely that the enemy will march straight in and approach Kaifeng.
The imperial court is currently at war with the Liao Kingdom in the land of Yanyun.
If the Liao soldiers arrive at Kaifeng, the imperial court's plan in Yanyun will be in vain.
Therefore, Linzhou and Yinzhou cannot be lost.
If Linzhou and Yinzhou are lost, the great reputation created by two generations of my family will be lost.
Countless people in the hinterland of the Central Plains would die tragically at the hands of the Liao people.
I, the Song Dynasty, will be forced by the Liao people to make an alliance under the city walls.
At that time, the three states that the imperial court seized from the Yanyun Land will have to be returned, and maybe Linzhou, Yinzhou and other places will have to be cut off."
Uncle An shed tears and wailed: "Isn't it enough that your father and brother both died for the Song Dynasty? Are they going to take your life as well? If you die, the Zhe family will collapse and be gone."
Zhe Weizhong said in a trembling voice: "The Zhe family can be lost, but Yinzhou and Linzhou cannot be lost. If Yinzhou and Linzhou are lost, my Zhe family will be a sinner of the Song Dynasty."
Uncle An asked sadly: "Can't the merits of two generations of the Zhe family help the Zhe family wash away this crime?"
Zhe Weizhong gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle An, the Zhe family is not afraid of being guilty, but the Zhe family is afraid of embarrassing their conscience."
"Master..."
"Uncle An, there is no need to say more. I have a few things to explain. If my predictions are correct, in a few hours, news of the resumption of fighting in Linzhou will come.
If I go to Linzhou now, I don't know if I can return to Yinzhou alive.
If I defeat the Liao soldiers in Linzhou, the Liao soldiers will definitely continue to start a war in Yinzhou.
I can die, but Yinzhou cannot be lost.
There are not many people I can rely on right now, so I can only ask you to help me defend Yinzhou.
You can garrison Yinzhou and give orders on my behalf. You can avoid fighting, or you can defend at all costs.
In short, Yinzhou cannot be lost.
When I leave, I will leave you with a suit of armor.
If the Liao soldiers invade, find someone of my own stature, wear my armor, and walk around on the city wall.
This strategy may be able to deceive the Liao soldiers for a while, but it cannot continue to deceive them forever.
So you should carefully watch the movements of the Liao soldiers. Once you realize that the Liao soldiers have seen through my plan, you can avoid the battle. If you cannot avoid it, defend at all costs."
"Master..."
"Also, I have written to my aunt and written down the Liao people's plan in the letter. My aunt will definitely go to the officials to explain the matter. The officials will definitely send someone to Yinzhou to take charge of the overall situation.
Before the people sent by the officials arrive, you must defend Yinzhou."
"Master..."
"Also, after I die, the Zhe family army can be handed over to Xuan'er, but Xuan'er has an unstable temper, so you have to help from the side. Remember to keep an eye on Xuan'er, and wait until Xuan'er is weak before going into battle."
"Master!!"
Uncle An was already in tears after listening to Zhe Weizhong's instructions.
