When the dust and smoke dispersed, Shi Xinmao, who was the first to lead the Fuzhou men and horses to catch up with the potholes, 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 so hard to chase them, 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 Tiannu Cult who forcibly recruited Hui Qingping back. The Tiannu Cult believed that Hui Qingping had lost her mind and could even be fooled by such low-level tricks. What else could she do if she hadn't lost her mind? So he forcibly ordered someone to replace it.
Hui Qingping returned home in vain, and the news soon spread throughout the world. Hui Qingping's reputation was completely destroyed at the hands of Wu Gongling.
Hui Qingping was removed from the position of elder not long after she returned to the Tiannv Sect. She had become a complete joke in the cultivation world, and it was inappropriate to continue to be an elder. Hui Qingping herself was too ashamed and did not make any resistance. She accepted the decision of the Tiannu Cult and abdicated from the throne and lived in seclusion. However, she still couldn't forget to kill Wu Gongling...
"Oh, there is such a thing?"
Outside the city of Yanjing, outside a thatched hut among the green mountains and green waters, Niu Youdao, standing with a sword in his hand, was somewhat surprised when he heard about this.
I was a little surprised when I heard that Wu Gongling's sudden defeat was due to the rendezvous with the Song Army. They were all fooled by Wu Gongling's fancy moves. This time, I didn't expect that Wu Gongling would play this trick again, defeating the three major forces in South Korea without even a fight. The elders of the faction were forced to resign, and Fang found out that Wu Gongling was a bit interesting.
The so-called darkness 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 for the monks in his hands was equivalent to death. In addition, in order to avoid the search of the three major factions 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 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 the 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 Gao Jicheng to be exposed, and Niu Youdao was hiding in the capital 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 court to arrest Shang Chaozong and leave him alone.
As for some of the physical suffering suffered by Shang Chaozong, he already knew about it through Gao Jiancheng, who went to see it in the sky prison himself.
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. It should not be 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 Wu Gongling would fuck her down. Okay, it’s funny to think about how depressed this must be.
But the situation in front of him made 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. Commander Meng 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 Dynasty 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.
The army on his side 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 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 support and plug the leak.
He thought that the counter-rebellion was a sure thing, so he came here to take the credit. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. The counter-rebellion not only failed, but also led to the disaster of destroying 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. How can you still be in a daze? All the heavy troops on the border of the imperial court are under your command, Da Sima. Why don't you be happy?" Order an emergency quickly?"
Shang Yongzhong, who had come back to his senses, quickly picked up the urgent report on the ground, got up, walked around the table, and handed it to him, "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. An Xianzhao and Su Qi's troops here also want to rush there immediately. I will go back to Beijing to see His Majesty right now!"
Shen Yuhong grabbed the lapel of his clothes and said angrily: "As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, you did not go to the battlefield in person to command the battle. At this juncture, you ran back to the capital. The battle situation has come and gone so far. By the time the decision is made, the battle situation has already changed. How can I give command?"
Even a person like him who doesn’t know how to fight understands this truth, 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 heads of his whole family would not be enough to bear the huge responsibility.
Shen Yuhong said angrily: "As the commander-in-chief, you can't leave now. You must stay to stabilize the morale of the army. If the commander-in-chief 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 here. go!"
Shang Yongzhong had no choice but to prevent him from leaving. While sending orders and urging several princes to hurry up and rush to the battlefield, he called Su Qitong and An Xian over for advice.
Afterwards, while reporting the military situation, he secretly wrote two letters to Tong Mo and Gao Jicheng, 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!
At the border between Yan and Song, the Song army under the command of Luo Zhao launched a fierce offensive. The Yan army was retreating steadily, and its momentum was unstoppable!
Since the destruction of Qin, the world has not had a 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 Jiancheng could not suppress them.
Faced with pressure to accuse Shang Yongzhong, Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng still excused Shang Yongzhong, saying that the Wugongling rebels were not responsible for the escape and rebellion, 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 DPRK. After hearing the news, he immediately submitted a memorial to defend himself and put the blame on the five princes. He blamed them for their failure in pursuit and suppression, which was why Wu Gongling escaped.
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 calamity is such that good generals are in need of help. Now it is a matter of life and death. Another voice that usually does not dare to come out comes out. It directly accuses the court of not being good at fighting. It calls on the 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.
When the five princes learned of the news that Shang Yongzhong had exonerated himself, they were furious!
The situation was like this. The five princes had already seen that the Yan State, which was full of absurdities, could not stop its decline. They could not command the people of the imperial court. Seeing those people acting indiscriminately, they could only rely on a few of them to fight, and it would be useless even if they spent all their capital. Now that we are fighting desperately on the battlefield, they are still trying to shift the blame on us. This is simply unreasonable, and it immediately arouses the secret intentions of the princes to preserve 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 troops of the five princes to join the battle, and they were defeated one after another 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? nt
