Fu Song

Chapter 517 Reinforcement
Seeing Luo Song appearing in front of him, Zhang Cheng couldn't believe his eyes.

The old man was floated in by several guards who touched the ground with their footsteps.

Along the way, the old man only rested for about an hour a day. In the end, he even ordered his subordinates to tie himself to the horse and drive day and night.

"Assemble all the troops you can send, and immediately attack Tokyo!" Luo Song, whose eyes were a little slack, saw Zhang Cheng, and only had time to say such a sentence, then rolled his eyes and passed out.

When he woke up, it was already a day and a night later.

"Luo Xianggong, you woke up, but you scared me to death!" Zhang Cheng who was notified hurried over, and saw Luo Song who had recovered a little, said. "The doctor said that you are overtired and need to rest for a few days."

"I don't have time to recuperate!" Luo Song shook his head: "I told you, I want you to assemble the army to prepare for the king's affairs. How are you preparing?"

"Sir, of course everything is being prepared!" Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "There are some things that you may not know yet, and I will report them to you."

"Say!"

"The Shaanxi Imperial Army, the Xiang Army, and the regiment training now have a total of more than [-] people. These people are currently concentrated in Sanchuankou and other fortresses to prevent the invasion of the Western Army. Cui Ang's defeat in the northwest has forced us to make big strides. Withdraw, the Western Army has already occupied Suide, Huanqing and other places." Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng sighed: "To tell you the truth, I really have no soldiers to send right now."

Luo Song raised his eyebrows, but Zhang Cheng went on to say, "Xiao Ding's actions are confusing. After learning of the Liao army's invasion, he ordered the Western army to stop and even released a large number of captured soldiers. , led by Cui Jin, returned to Shaanxi, and these people have now withdrawn to Yan'an Mansion."

"How many people?" Luo Song asked.

"More than [-] people." Zhang Cheng said: "According to Cui Jin, these people are brave men carefully selected by him, and their families are all in Tokyo City. I am not afraid that these people will not fight to the death."

"Okay!" Luo Song clapped his palms and smiled: "After all, Xiao Ding knows the general idea, and Cui Jin is much better than his father."

"Cui Ang, Qu Zhen and the others haven't returned to Bianliang yet?" Zhang Cheng asked in surprise.

Luo Song shook his head: "At least I didn't see them when I left Bianliang, maybe I missed them on the way! But in my opinion, if Cui Ang still has the face to go back, he should find a pond on the road Drowning yourself counts. It’s really shameful that you still have the face to live.”

"Sir, Cui Jin is waiting outside to see you right now!" Zhang Cheng looked slightly embarrassed. Although he was not ashamed of Cui Ang, Cui Jin and him had known each other since childhood, and their relationship was not bad.

"Even in front of Cui Ziyu, I said the same thing!" Luo Song said proudly, "Let him in!"

Cui Jin was just outside the door, naturally she heard Luo Song's evaluation of her father, her face was flushed but she couldn't get angry.

When facing Xiao Ding, Cui Jin dared to clamor that if Xiao Ding said that his father would fight Xiao Ding, but Luo Song could only bow his head and listen to his father's Zang Pi.

People not only have a high position, but also have a higher seniority.

have this qualification.

"Luo Xianggong, I have nothing to say, the only way to wash away the stains on my body is to bow and fight to the death. Please give me this opportunity!" Cui Jin bowed to the ground.

"Get up!" Luo Song said with a serious face: "These more than ten thousand people are newly defeated, can they fight?"

"Yan'an Mansion has been re-armed, and can be deployed at any time." Cui Jin said: "King Qin Dongdong is also saving their parents, wives and children. Why can't they fight? As long as the Xianggong gives an order, they can be deployed immediately."

"Okay, then go down and get ready. Tomorrow, your troops will go first, and then Zhang Cheng will lead his troops to arrive!"

"Can the Shaanxi Imperial Army leave? Once Zhang Cheng leaves, I'm afraid the Western Army will take advantage of it. Is there any reason for them not to eat the fat in front of them?"

Luo Song was silent for a moment, and said: "I will go to see Xiao Ding. Even if Xiao Ding really wants to eat this piece of fat, it is better than giving it to the Liao people. It is clear at a glance."

Both Cui Jin and Zhang Cheng were silent.

"As long as King Qin succeeds and keeps Tokyo, even if Shaanxi Road is lost to Xiao Ding, it will naturally be taken back when the situation stabilizes." Luo Song said: "Zhang Cheng, make arrangements, I want to see Xiao Ding."

Xiao Ding respectfully welcomed Luo Song into the army tent.

The next day, Cui Jin led his troops to go first, but Luo Song left Sanchuan City and headed all the way to Dingjun City.

Xiao Ding at this moment is in Dingjun City.

Luo Song must see Xiao Cheng.

Cui Jin's [-] people alone may not have any effect on the overall situation.

But if you want to take away all the soldiers under Zhang Cheng's command, you must reach an agreement with Xiao Ding.

And Luo Song has no selfishness in his heart?

If at this time, he can persuade Xiao Ding to send troops to rescue Bianliang together, or let Xiao Ding send troops to attack the places on the Liao Kingdom's Shangjing Road, it will not only solve the temporary crisis of the Song Dynasty, but also allow Xiao Ding to reconcile with the Song Dynasty. It is not impossible to return to the country.

In the past, no matter whether it was the official family or the imperial court, such a thing would never be allowed to happen.

But it's different now.

I'm afraid they are eager for Xiao Ding's joining!

The question is, will Xiao Ding agree?

the answer is negative.

Kneeling under Luo Song's head, Xiao Ding poured dark red wine for Luo Song.

"It was brought back by a caravan traveling in the Western Regions, and it tastes really good." Xiao Ding said with a smile.

Taking a sip of the wine, Luo Song sighed and asked, "Changqing, is it really not possible?"

"Uncle Shi, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't!" Xiao Ding said: "This time the Liao Kingdom has calculated to the extreme this time. Xiao Siwen, Yeluhuan, and Cui Ang attacked from three sides. Although I defeated two of them, it looked very glamorous, but in fact The loss is huge. Moreover, the Uyghurs under the rule, the Uyghurs, and even the Tubo people, who have always been stable, are ready to move. It is already very difficult for my soldiers and horses to suppress these forces in the territory, and the frontiers of the Western Regions , The Black Khan once again assembled a heavy army."

"It's also an internal and external trouble!" Luo Song shook his head.

"To tell you the truth, Uncle Shi, if it weren't for the invasion of the Liao army this time, the state of Song would be in danger of subjugation, and I would definitely drive troops to plunder the entire Shaanxi Road to make up for my loss this time." The corners of Xiao Ding's mouth rose slightly, "Right now, we What can be done is to stop on the current front and not take a step forward. Zhang Cheng can go boldly and confidently. I understand this truth, so I will not tolerate the destruction of the Liao Kingdom Da Song."

"It's so good." Luo Song said. "Qinfeng Road, Shaanxi Road, and Hedong Road can gather about [-] troops. Beijing, Tokyo, West Huainan and other places can also send reinforcements as quickly as possible. As long as they can form a stalemate with the Liao Army, the reinforcements from all walks of life in the Song Dynasty will definitely be able to Arrive in a steady stream, and victory can be expected.”

"I hope so!" Xiao Ding raised his glass to Luo Song: "Nephew, I wish Uncle Shi all wishes come true."

"Master, do you have hatred in your heart?"

"If you say no, it's a lie."

"The government owes you the Xiao family, the imperial court owes you the Xiao family, and even someone from Luo owes you the Xiao family, but the people of the country and court have never owed you. Changqing, for the people of the country and court, and for the sake of my Han and Miao descendants, please let go of your heart." Obsession, at this time of life and death, join hands hand in hand." Luo Song looked at Xiao Ding eagerly.

Xiao Ding laughed: "Uncle Shi, I'm just doing what I can. However, I don't think that if the Bianliang court collapses, my Chinese heritage will collapse."

Luo Song's face collapsed: "Changqing, are you talking about Xiao Erlang?"

"That's right, Luo San is there too!" Xiao Ding said with a smile.

"But the imperial court has collapsed, and there is no backbone in this world!"

"This incompetent imperial court is really going to collapse. It's nothing. Maybe there will be a better one to stand up. If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come!" Xiao Ding disagreed: "Uncle Shi, that's all I said. That's all I can do. As for whether I can win, I really can't help it now. This is also the fault of the Bianliang officials themselves, so he has to bear the consequences himself."

Speaking of this, Xiao Ding sneered: "I have never seen such a stupid, arrogant and self-righteous person."

"Do you have any connection with Mrs. Xiao San?" After pondering for a while, Luo Song still asked.

Xiao Ding's face suddenly darkened.

"Miss Xiao San is very powerful in the Liao Kingdom now, and it is said that she can almost rival the emperor, if..."

"Xiao Chuo is not Xiao Qi. You may not know it. This time the Liao Kingdom attacked the Song Dynasty. The leader was not their emperor, but their queen. Xiao Qi is my younger sister, but she is long gone. Chuo is the empress of the Liao Kingdom, and has nothing to do with my Xiao family. At the beginning, you wrote me to inform me that my younger sister died of illness in the palace city."

Luo Song sighed and had nothing to say.

If I knew this earlier, why did it happen in the first place!

The three brothers and sisters of the Xiao family are on their own side today, but they have the power to shake the world.

Dalang of the Xiao family dominates the northwest, and the territory under his command has already far surpassed that of the Song Dynasty. The only shortcoming is that the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Erlang of the Xiao family sits firmly in the southwest, controls the three-way land, and has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command. He is regarded by Song as a confidant, but he is powerless and has to be carefully wooed.

And the third wife of the Xiao family, now even more regards the Great Song Dynasty as an enemy, leading hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to the south.

If it is found that Erlang, the eldest son of the Xiao family, can understand and move his feelings with reason, and the two of them are unwilling to help the tyrant, then the third lady of the Xiao family witnessed the death of her parents and was forced to commit herself to marrying herself. He has already regarded the Da Song official family as the enemy of life and death, and maybe he can talk about it with Yelujun, but with this woman, I am afraid that there is nothing to talk about.

Only the battlefield sees life and death.

When the two were relatively speechless, Xu Shen pushed the door open and walked in. After looking at Luo Song with some strange eyes, he bent his ear and whispered a few words in front of Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding's complexion also changed drastically.

"What happened?" Luo Song asked.

Xiao Ding looked at Luo Song and said, "Uncle Shi, I'm afraid your reinforcements must speed up. We just received the news that the Daming Mansion has been breached, Ma Xing and his son died in battle, and the Liao army divided into three groups." , led by Yeluzhen on one side, aimed at Hezhong Mansion, the other led by Yelumin, aimed directly at Jinan Mansion, and the main force in the middle was led by Emperor Yelujun himself, and went straight to Bianliang."

"Why was the city destroyed so quickly?" Luo Song was shocked.

"This is not the most important thing!" Xiao Ding said: "Cui Ang, Qu Zhen did not return to Bianliang, they defected to the Liao Kingdom, and now they are named King Zhao by the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Dedicated to the city, the Liao army went down to the state without a fight, but now it is not far from Bianliang."

Luo Song was dumbfounded, and after a long while, he jumped up, got on his horse, and galloped away.

"Boss, what shall we do next?"

"Replenish your energy!" Xiao Ding said: "Do everything possible to quickly recover your strength. If the Song army can't stand up to Yeluzhen, neither the East Road nor the Shaanxi Road will be safe. We don't want to be alone. .”

Cui Jin was captured on the way of marching.

Zhang Cheng went there in person.

If it wasn't for Luo Song who couldn't bear to go on such a crazy journey, he would definitely go there in person.

The command of the more than [-] people was handed over to Gan Quan, Zhang Cheng's deputy general, who continued to move forward under the leadership of Gan Quan, while Cui Jin was brought back to Yan'an Mansion.

And here, Cui Jin, who was so angry, finally learned why she was suddenly taken down.

No matter what kind of person he is, because his father and brother betrayed the country and became the pioneers of the Liao Kingdom, it is impossible for him to lead such a large army back, and no one dares to take this risk.

Therefore, there is only one way waiting for him, to step down.

It was because Luo Song was kind enough not to kill him on the spot, and Zhang Cheng also did it because of the friendship he had known for many years.

But public is public, private is private.

Cui Jin burst into tears.

He never dreamed that it would end like this.

Luo Song was angry, Zhang Cheng sighed.

Choi Jin is done.

His whole life was basically ruined by his father.

Wang Jun slung his saddle off his horse, and behind him, dozens of Golden Spear Squads followed closely behind him. In front of the government office, Gao Yao, who had just taken over as the comfort envoy of East Road, was standing with his hands down.

Wang Jun was ordered to rectify the soldiers and horses in the east of the river, and at the same time he had to serve the king as quickly as possible.

"I've met the appeasement envoy!" Wang Jun didn't throw out the imperial decree to boss Gao Yao in a big way, but made his attitude very low-key to Gao Yao when he got off the car.

The former appeasement envoy was defeated by the envoy Zhang Yunsheng, the general of the Western Army. With Gao Yao's qualifications, he was still far away from the appeasement envoy. So that he can unite the locals to work together to resist the Western Army.

And Gao Yao has indeed accomplished this task very well.

Now that Wang Jun has just arrived, he wants to take control of the military, and wants to send his army south to serve the king, so how can he leave this local snake?

Put on a show in front of him, and then just a small stumbling block for you will make you unable to eat.

Over the years, Wang Jun, who has experienced countless ups and downs, is already quite proficient in these matters above the officialdom.
