Regarding Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's words, Wu Guifei's body couldn't help but tremble. Wu Guifei is not an ordinary woman. She has brains and is good at thinking. She knows that a position like Song Emperor Zhao Zhen will never be full of her mouth in order to recruit herself. Nonsense. Although I don't know what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen meant, Wu Guifei still felt a little flustered in her heart, but Wu Guifei held her mind firmly and said coldly, "Nonsense, don't want to fool me."
Although Wu Guifei tried her best to conceal, how could she hide the eyes of Emperor Song Zhao Zhen, the smile on Song Emperor Zhao Zhen’s face became even stronger, and said to Gui Fei Wu: "Wu Guifei, let’s not mention it, just take this time. You and Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui conspired to take Zhao Go out of Jiangling. I have to say that your plan this time is very thorough. Although I have taken precautions before, you finally let you take Zhao Go out of Jiangling. Starting from this point alone, I have to admire Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui."
I heard Song Emperor Zhao Zhen say this. Although he was very angry with Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, Wu Guifei still felt a little bit happy in her heart. However, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen quickly changed his words and said: "It's just that you are so As a result, instead of bringing any benefits to Da Song, it actually harmed Zhao Go. Wu Guifei had been in jail for this period of time, and she did not know what was going on outside. Although Zhao Gou was sent out of Jiangling by General Wu Guifei, but In the end, he died tragically in a county seat."
"What?" Consort Wu couldn't sit still anymore. As Song Emperor Zhao Zhen said, since that night, Concubine Wu Gui was captured by the guards, and she has been kept here. The guards' cell was not comparable to the ordinary prisons outside. The guards here were all strictly trained guards. Without the above instructions, they would not have to say a word with Wu Guifei.
So until now, Concubine Wu did not know the news of Zhao Gou's death. Concubine Wu immediately stood up, her whole person like a wounded beast, rushing towards Song Emperor Zhao Zhen frantically, still yelling: "It's you! You killed Zhao Gou! You killed him! Zhao Gou, right?"
The sudden movement of Concubine Wu gave the guards next to him a shock. Song Emperor Zhao Zhen is now the lord of Song Dynasty! How could something go wrong here? One by one, they immediately drew out their sabers, guarded them around Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, and pointed their swords at Concubine Wu Gui. But their worries seemed unnecessary, because although Wu Guifei tried her best to rush to Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, before she could take a few steps, the iron chains on her hands and feet restricted his movements, and Wu Guifei even Because of excessive force, the whole person fell heavily to the ground.
From the beginning to the end, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen did not show a surprised look. He always remained calm. He even had free time to look back at Ma Jiao. Seeing that Ma Jiao’s expression did not change, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen was the only one. Gazed approvingly. He stretched out his hand and waved it, indicating that the guards who came to escort them had all retreated. Looking back at Concubine Wu, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "You are right, Zhao Gou indeed died under the chaotic arrow. Not only Zhao Gou, but Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui also died in the army. The person who murdered Zhao Gou was Liu Tong. This time I attacked Liu Tong to avenge Zhao Gou. Now Nan'an Military City and Luzhou have fallen into my hands. Liu Tong also died at the head of the Nan'an Army. Thanks to you, my enemy is missing one more."
Song Emperor Zhao Zhen’s words were like steel needles, which kept piercing Wu Guifei’s heart. She did not expect that Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui had worked so hard to arrange the plan, but there was no plan. Successfully rescued Zhao Gou, but ended up in this situation.
Concubine Wu Guifei lay on the ground, raised her head, her eyes widened, and stared at Emperor Song Zhao Zhen fiercely. With both hands she tried her best to grab Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, but helplessly, she was restrained by the iron chain. , It is impossible to do so. It looks like that, I can't wait to swallow Song Emperor Zhao Zhen alive.
And Ma Jiao, who was behind Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, was also puzzled at this moment. What did Song Emperor Zhao Zhen mean to bring him to see Concubine Wu this time? Now Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's words can only stimulate Wu Guifei to resent Emperor Song Zhao Zhen more and more. However, even though Ma Kuo had doubts in his heart, he still resisted the doubts in his heart and stood honestly behind Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, watching what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen would do next.
Song Emperor Zhao Zhen slowly squatted down so that his eyes were parallel to those of Concubine Wu, and said with a smile: "Concubine Wu, do you hate me now? But have you ever wondered who this is all about? Caused? Originally, Zhao Gou lived in the imperial palace well, even if I had a heart of disobedience, if there were no excuses, I would not risk the world to do anything to Zhao Gou. I would only steadily expedite the Golden Kingdom to the north. To greet the second emperor, if it were not for you to do such a series of things, Zhao Gou would not leave Jiangling, and there would be no tragedy. It can be said that the so-called Da Song Zhongchen who killed Zhao Gou were you."
As soon as Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's words were finished, Wu Guifei's body trembled. Although Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's words sounded ridiculous on the surface, Wu Guifei reflected in her heart, but she had to admit that Song Emperor Zhao Zhen said That makes sense. In other words, to some extent, they did kill Zhao Gou. This made Wu Guifei, who had always believed that everything she did was for Zhao Gou's sake, suddenly felt that the value of her existence was gone. Concubine Wu didn't struggle anymore, and the whole person just stayed there, her face turned pale.
Seeing the appearance of Concubine Wu, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen nodded slightly. Immediately Song Emperor Zhao Zhen stood up and said to the guards on the left and right: "Remove Concubine Wu's hands and feet and have a full meal today. Here is it. She has a ribbon, and she apologizes for the dead emperor Zhao Go! Ma Aiqing, let's go!" The last sentence was addressed to Ma Jiao behind him. After finishing speaking, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen turned straight and left. And Ma Kuo was just taken aback, and immediately followed.
After Song Emperor Zhao Zhen and Ma Guo left from Wu Guifei's side, they didn't immediately leave the mansion of the guards. Instead, they turned left and right and came to Yao Da's office. After entering the only room with fresh air in this cell, Ma Jiao's face also improved a lot. And seeing Song Emperor Zhao Zhen and Ma Kuo coming, Yao Da, who was sitting at his desk doing official duties, quickly stood up and prayed to Song Emperor Zhao Zhen and Ma Kuo: "See your subordinates. Master."
"Yao Da, please get up soon." Song Emperor Zhao Zhen immediately helped Yao Da up. Yao Da is now in his thirties and nearly forty years old, and his complexion is still like twenty or thirty. After Song Emperor Zhao Zhen helped Yao Da up, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I am here this time, just to see what the latest information is available in the disc department?" There are only Song Emperor Zhao Zhen, Yao Da and Ma Kuosan. People, to Yao Da, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen didn't regard him as an outsider, so naturally he didn't call me a widow again.
Although during this period of time, the guards have been fighting and killing things, but the original purpose of Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's establishment of the guards was to collect information. Obviously, Yao Da has never forgotten his responsibilities. Hearing Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's question, Yao Da immediately said: "There are several important news to be reported to the adults." Then, Yao Da said. He turned around and went to the desk where he was working at the desk just now, picked up three copies of brocade and presented them to Song Emperor Zhao Zhen.
Song Emperor Zhao Zhen took the Jinbo but did not open it directly. Instead, he handed it to Ma Kuo behind him. Seeing Song Emperor Zhao Zhen’s behavior, Yao Da certainly guessed what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen meant. It is time for Ma Kuo to take over Song Jun's important government affairs step by step. Therefore, Yao Da also immediately stated: "The first piece of information came from Nanxiong Prefecture. Half a month ago, Gao An’s first think tank, Tong Wenbo, secretly entered Nanxiong Prefecture and met with Liu Yi and Zhao Guang. As for what they discussed during the meeting. Content, the spies did not obtain information."
Song Emperor Zhao Zhen nodded, and didn't mean to blame. Liu Yi, Zhao Guang and Tong Wenbo secretly talked, and it must be the martial law of the inner and outer three levels. No matter how powerful the spies of the disc department are, it is impossible to find out the content of the secret conversation. But the news alone was enough to make Song Emperor Zhao Zhen frown.
After learning that Nanxiong Prefecture was attacked by the coalition of Gao'an and Liu Yi, Emperor Zhao Zhen did not immediately issue an attack on Nanxiong Prefecture. Just worry about what tricks the two resourceful masters, Tong Wenbo and Zhao Guang, are doing. Fu Xuan and Ji Qianqian also hold the same opinion. Liu Yi and Gao An are currently united because of pressure from the Song army. If Song Emperor Zhao Zhen forcibly attacked Nanxiong Prefecture, it would inevitably force the two to join forces to resist the Song army, and there was also Xia Cheng watching over there. Moreover, the three main forces and the most elite guards all fought against the Jinren in the north. The Southern Army formed by Zhao Zhen alone may not be their opponent, so this battle is definitely not easy to fight.
Rather than take risks, it would be better to retreat for the time being. If there is no pressure from Song Jun, Liu Yi and Gao An are not easy generations, and maybe they will have a lot of trouble. Song Emperor Zhao Zhen will also be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
However, it is not easy to achieve this goal. Just like the information that Yao Da just read, it is impossible for Tong Wenbo and Zhao Guang to fail to see the idea of Song Emperor Zhao Zhen. This time Tong Wenbo rushed to Nanxiong Prefecture. It is for the alliance of both sides. After lowering his head to think for a moment, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen already had a count in his mind, and then asked Ma Kuo, who was looking down at the intelligence, "Prime Minister Ma, what do you think of this?"
Ma Kuo thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, the alliance between Gao An and Liu Yi will not weaken in a short time. Your Majesty must not do anything against Fujian Road at this stage. That will only stimulate Gao An and Liu Yizhi. The alliance between the two is stronger. Therefore, for the present plan, General Wang Zongshi and General Wang Hu are ordered to guard the border carefully, and beware of any tricks the enemy uses. Gao An and Liu Yi are both ambitious people. Over time, I see surprises. The danger in the middle does not appear, and they will inevitably calculate each other. As long as there is a loophole in one of the parties, General Wang Zongshi and General Wang Hu can attack Fujian Road with the thunder army. Take Gao'an and Liu Yi in one fell swoop."
Song Emperor Zhao Zhen was also very satisfied with Ma Kuo's answer. This statement is almost the same as the previous suggestions made by Fu Xuan, Ji Qianqian and others.
Seeing that Emperor Zhao Zhen stopped speaking, Yao Da immediately read the second piece of information. He said: "The Wang Kangbu who withdrew from Chengxiang in Meizhou has already withdrawn to Shangrao. According to the Flying Butterfly Office in Shangrao City. According to the information that came back, after Wang Kang and Xia Shanyue returned to Shangrao, Xia Cheng ordered them to heal them, but Lin Tao asked Xia Cheng to be punished, but Xia Cheng refused and ordered Lin Tao to lead his troops in Tanzhou."
"Hey." Song Emperor Zhao Zhen sneered. He was not surprised by the news. When Emperor Song Emperor Zhao Zhen ordered to retreat from Chengxiang, Meizhou, he knew that the Xia army stationed in Chengxiang, Meizhou could not stay for long. . Xia Cheng's purpose for sending this army should be to take advantage of Song Emperor Zhao Zhen and Liu Tong's battle to come and pick something cheap. However, Xia Cheng never expected Liu Tong to let Liu Yi transfer all the soldiers and horses away, and a battle of the Nan'an Army ended so quickly. In addition, in Chengxiang, Meizhou, Wang Kang did not hold back, and took the initiative to start war against Song Emperor Zhao Zhen’s army. This is equivalent to Xia Jiajun tearing up the covenant between the two parties. If he stays in Chengxiang, Meizhou, wait until the Song army arrives. , They can't go if they want to.
But this incident was not exactly what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen intended. The most troublesome thing was that Wang Kang survived. Although Wang Kang was reckless and impulsive, his martial arts could be dealt with by ordinary generals, which caused Song Emperor Zhao Zhen to feel a little headache. If Xia Cheng were to be supplemented by a resourceful man like Lin Tao, then Wang Kang would definitely become the confidant of Song Emperor Zhao Zhen in the future. It's just that it's useless to think so much now, only waiting for the next time, we must kill Wang Kang to avoid future troubles.
Song Emperor Zhao Zhen secretly made up his mind, but said nothing. Seeing the appearance of Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty, Yao Da continued: "The third news is from the border of the Jinbing occupied area. General Guan Tianxia was ordered by the Lord to lead troops back from the border of the Jinbing occupied area to the Liangzhe region. , And Jin Bingdu finished Yan Bao also led troops to the border that governed the world's garrison, while Yue Feishuai and Wang Jin's main force, and Jin Bing marshal Wu Shu and state minister Yan Zonghan and Jin Bing all ruled the face. The Golden Soldiers such as Bao, the Dragon and Tiger, confronted each other. Until half a month ago, the two armies had had no less than ten frictions. Our army won more and lost less. However, because both are recuperating, neither the enemy nor the enemy have launched a large-scale battle. war."
"And General Guan Tianxia, according to your majesty, did not take the initiative to attack Shangrao after occupying the Liangzhe area. Instead, he dispersed his troops on the border and harassed the border of the Xia Army with small troops. Xia Ting of the Xia Family Army led the troops. The confrontation, now, the two armies are confronting each other in Quzhou."
"Well! The situation in the north is fairly stable. Xia Ting came from the Xia family?" After hearing the news, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen thought again, rubbing the beard on his chin with his hands. It's not that Song Emperor Zhao Zhen was worried about the war on the border of the Jinbing occupied area. On the contrary, the development of the war on the border of the Jinbing occupied area was exactly what Song Emperor Zhao Zhen intended.
And even though Xia Ting, who was confronting Guan Tianxia in Quzhou, was once the most powerful master among the Xia family's children, he was still worse than Guan Tianxia. Coupled with the experience of leading soldiers in combat, it is far inferior to the world, so there is no major problem. Moreover, Guan Tianxia obeyed Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's orders and did not take the initiative to attack, otherwise Xia Ting would have been defeated long ago.
Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's consideration was not at all about war issues, but about the emergence of Xia Ting. The children of Xia Ting are young and talented, but their only shortcoming is that they lack sufficient training. To deal with them, it is more appropriate to use the elderly, ginger is old and spicy.
Thinking of this, Song Emperor Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, turned to look at Ma Kuo beside him, nodded slightly, and already had a plan in his heart.
Quzhou City is located at the junction of Quzhou and Xinzhou. Although it is a big city, because it is in the midst of two major forces, the defenses of Quzhou City are stronger and taller than those big cities. With such a strong and tall city defense, Quzhou City gradually prospered.
At the southern gate of Quzhou City, the people came in and out, and the guards at the gate did not check one by one. As long as they were not too much, the guards would not step forward to stop them. In the distance, more than four thousand scattered and defeated Xia's army troops fleeing under the command of Xia Ting are chased by cavalry. Looking at the distant city and the cavalry that had been killed, Xia Ting depressed and fleeed southwest with the remnants.
