Fu Song

Chapter 527

The surrender of Cui Bo in Huazhou made the last line of defense on Northwest Beijing Road fall.The defensive line that had been barely built on the entire Northwest Road of Beijing collapsed immediately. Before the Liao people were seen, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army stationed here had already retreated one after another.

Changyuan, Fengqiu, Yuanyang and other places almost collapsed without fighting. The Liao army occupied these places without any effort, and the progress was smooth, even Yelujun was amazed.

In the past, did I overestimate the fighting power of the Song people too much?
Why can't I help but fight like this?
Knowing this earlier, Daliao should have launched a national war earlier.

The cavalry scouts of the Liao people could already see the tall city walls of Tokyo.

For the first time in hundreds of years, they were able to unscrupulously look at the most luxurious and richest city in the world at such a close distance.

Everyone is fantasizing about taking the city and making a fortune.

This life and the wealth of the children and grandchildren may be enough just this time.

The city of Tokyo has fallen into extreme chaos.

A few months ago, there was still a flourishing world full of songs and dances. A few months later, the threat of national subjugation had already appeared before everyone's eyes.

The official Zhao Suo has not been in court for more than half a month.

After the fall of Huazhou, he fell ill.

All political affairs are now jointly managed by King Zhao Jing of Chu, the chief assistants of the Dutang, and the Privy Council.

But now there are not many people left in Dutang.

The bad news came one after another.

Luo Song's entry into Shaanxi was originally to persuade Xiao Ding, so that the Shaanxi Army and the East Road Army would jointly attack, and King Qin would protect him, at least to block the Liao Kingdom's West Army led by Yeluzhen.

But who would have expected that Hedong Road treacherously defected to the enemy, Luo Song's news is unknown now, and the defeated Zhang Cheng fled all the way west, and no further news has come yet.

Regardless of whether Zhang Cheng is dead or alive, Shaanxi Road and Hedong Road are completely hopeless.

As a result, Li Chun on Qinfeng Road immediately sat on the wax, and the army that was going to come to King Qin's rescue suddenly shrank back. It's not that he didn't come, but that he didn't dare to come, and he couldn't come. La.

Another fatal blow came from Jingdong Road.

Yelumin, the commander of the Shan army of the Liao Kingdom, led his troops to attack Jingdong Road. Liu Yu, the prefect of Jinan Prefecture, led his troops to surrender, and was named King of Qi by Yelujun. Now this so-called King of Qi led his subordinates to cooperate with Yelumin to sweep the entire Jingdong. Road, in less than a month, most of Jingdong Road has been reduced to an occupied area, and Yelujun has also generously made the entire Jingdong Road the territory of King Qi.

After Yelumin left a subordinate Shan army to cooperate with Liu Yu in fighting, he led the main force to the outside of Tokyo and joined the troops besieging Tokyo.

Tokyo has been surrounded on three sides.

In today's Tokyo city, there are still more than [-] troops, including the Japanese Army, Tianwu Army, Dragon Guard Army, Shenwei Army, and the Imperial Army that retreated from Northwest Road and Gyeonggi. Among the millions of Tokyo cities, if you can If it is possible to effectively organize an army of young adults, hundreds of thousands of people are easy to do.

But at this moment, the court of the Song Dynasty was on the defensive or on the go, and a fierce conflict broke out.

The people in the capital hall, headed by Xia Jie, felt that it was the best policy to save the court at this moment, and they should go. Before Tokyo was surrounded by all sides, they quickly retreated to the south.

The Privy Council headed by Chen Gui and others felt that the city of Tokyo was extremely dangerous and unparalleled in the world, so they should guard the city at this moment, and at the same time called on the kings of all walks of life in the world to rescue them.

Tokyo is the capital of the Song Dynasty, with millions of people. If the king leaves without a fight, he will hand over millions of people to the enemy, and he will lose his heart. lost.

The two sides could not argue, and as Yelumin led his troops from Jingdong Road to the city of Tokyo, these discussions came to an abrupt end.

Because Liao people's cavalry has also appeared on the main traffic road to the south.

At this time, if you run away again, you may be throwing yourself into a trap.

Shou, has become the only way.

Zhao Suo's illness became more and more serious.

Following the announcement of an edict in the imperial city, the entire capital, Privy Council and courtiers were dumbfounded.

Because the officials did not discuss with any of them, they directly issued the central decree, declaring that due to physical reasons, they could no longer perform the heavy responsibility of the king of a country.

The long-awaited crown suddenly fell on his head, but Zhao Jing was not at all happy. Instead, he knelt outside the palace and begged the officials to take back their orders. At this moment, the officials should lead everyone to forge ahead , Overcoming difficulties together.

However, no matter how the King of Chu and his ministers begged, Zhao Suo had decided to abdicate, and everyone had no choice but to embrace the King of Chu and go to the front court.

The old official's family is irresponsible as the shopkeeper, so he can only let the king of Chu take the lead.

The new king took the stage, but he was not at all happy, and only one Zhao Yuan was added to the hall, and the others didn't move at all.

At this moment, it is better to be still than to move.

Xia Jie is still the chief assistant, in charge of the affairs of the entire Tokyo city.

As the head of the Privy Council, Chen Gui controls the military and is responsible for the defense of Tokyo City.

As the number one confidant of the King of Chu, Zhao Yuan volunteered to leave the city. Firstly, he wanted to inform Liao Kingdom Emperor Yelujun of the news of the new King of Song's enthronement.

The conditions can be set at will, as long as the Liao Kingdom withdraws its troops.

Of course, at this moment, it may be delusional to hope that the Liao people will withdraw their troops, but it would be good to delay the Liao people's attack speed.Sending people to deal with the opponent, if it can be delayed for a day, it will take an extra day to arrange defense and train the young and strong, so that the troops escorted by Qin Wang in various places can be closer to Tokyo.

When the new king ascends the throne, it is natural to reward all parties.

A long time ago, envoys rushed to the place with the edict of the new king's enthronement and the rewards to the ministers of all parties. Of course, after all the imperial edicts, an additional article was written, and he quickly led the army to Jingqin to protect the king.

Yelujun and Xiao Chuo were really surprised by this psychedelic operation of Zhao's father and son.

As the king of a country, at this time, he actually quit at this time and passed the burden to his son. This is really the first time I have seen it!
peace?

It's all come to this point, who is still negotiating peace with you?

Even a fool can see your glaring strategy of delaying time!
Yelujun and Xiao Chuo had no intention of meeting Zhao Yuan at all.

Cui Ang was directly dispatched to meet the Song upstart.

The former Prime Minister of the Dutang, but seeing the new Prime Minister of the Dutang,
No matter how you look at it, this arrangement by the Liao people is full of bad humor and ridicule.

Of course, it also expresses the meaning of letting the people of Song Dynasty give up all their fantasies.

What Yelujun and Xiao Chuo had to face at this moment was the bad news from the northwest.

"Your big brother is really amazing!" Seeing the information that Yeluzhen sent over eight hundred miles urgently, Yelujun sighed. "His ability to seize the opportunity is truly second to none. No one can pinpoint the pulse better than him."

From Yelujun's point of view, this is indeed the case.

More than ten years ago, when Xiao Ding first arrived in the Northwest, he was just a one-price commander. He had two troops, the Guangrui Army and the Dingbian Army. He drove his chariot all over Shaanxi, and finally defeated the ambitious Dingnan army Li Xu in one fell swoop, and replaced him.

Thus, there was the Western Army that later caused the Great Song Dynasty a headache.

But now, Xiao Ding has once again seized the opportunity. Not only has he completely controlled Shaanxi Road, but his tentacles have even protruded. Five thousand tribal troops of the Liao Kingdom were captured, and one of the tens of thousands of Hedong troops fled in embarrassment, and only [-] to [-]% of them could escape.

Now, Zhang Yunsheng's subordinates under the command of Zhang Yunsheng, another division of the left wing of the Western Army, has entered the East Road, while the main force under the personal command of Xiao Ding is approaching the Hezhong Mansion to confront Yeluzhen's main force.

Facing the aggressive Western Army, Yeluzhen had no idea. If he couldn't resist Xiao Ding's attack, then Xiao Ding would most likely successfully appear in Kaifeng Mansion and become the first King Qin's army to arrive in Tokyo. Greatly encouraging the will and morale of the defenders in Tokyo will also stimulate the willingness of other Song armies in the south to serve as kings.

In this way, not only politically, but also militaryly, it will cause great trouble to Liao.

Yeluzhen asked for help.

"How did he know that the Hedong Liu family has defected to us?" Yelujun was puzzled, "So that he was able to deploy troops in advance, attack in an all-round way, and set up traps to gain an advantage in one fell swoop?"

Xiao Chuo's eyes stayed on the map, "Your Majesty, no matter how he got the news, now we must prevent him from appearing on the land of Henan."

"I'm afraid Yeluzhen is really not his opponent. The current Xiao Ding is not the Xiao Ding of the past. Even Marshal Du and Starling have lost to him!" When Yelujun said this, Glancing at the Wanyan starling standing beside him, Wanyan starling lowered his head in shame.

"I'll go! I'll go in person!" Xiao Chuo pointed at a certain point with his slender index finger, looked up at Yelujun and said.

"Feng Lingdu?" Yelujun's eyes lit up.

Xiao Chuo nodded: "That's right, it's Feng Lingdu. I haven't seen my elder brother for many years. I'll go see him and see if he wants to ride over her little sister!"

Yelujun frowned: "There's no need to take this risk. Sitting in this seat, Xiao Ding has some things that he can't help himself. He just needs to send a reinforcement to support Yeluzhen."

"The city of Tokyo is high and solid, we need enough troops to take it down, and we have to take it down as soon as possible!" Xiao Chuo said: "Once the time drags on, reinforcements from all walks of life in the south will inevitably swarm in. , Your Majesty, although Hebei Road, Hedong Road, Jingdong Road and others have all surrendered to us, they are not just resting easy. Countless local regiments, rebels, and even some bandits are fighting with us. If we let them Seeing hope, this resistance will become stronger and stronger."

Yelujun nodded.

"For our expedition, food, ordnance, etc. need to be recruited from the rear on a large scale, and the soldiers will gradually become more willing to fight. Only by taking Tokyo quickly can everything develop in a good direction!" Xiao Chuo said Arriving here, he said: "So, not only can we not mobilize the troops under the city of Tokyo, we even have to gather more troops to come here."

Fenglingdu has been the throat of Hedong, Henan and Guanzhong since ancient times. It crosses the boundaries of North China, Northwest China and Central China. After the Chinese soldiers were defeated and died, Yeluzhen immediately mobilized troops to support Feng Lingdu's defense.

But right now his strength is somewhat stretched.Especially when Yeluxi's [-] tribal cavalry disappeared in smoke, and it was difficult to gather the soldiers and horses in Hedong for a while. To control the huge Henan area, Yeluzhen felt that he could not care less about his head than his back.

But no matter what, Feng Lingdu must be heavily guarded.

However, because Xiao Ding's Western Army was on the opposite side, Yeluzhen asked the emperor for reinforcements out of caution.

But he didn't expect that the reinforcements would come, but the ones who came were not the army he had hoped for, but the queen Xiao Chuo and more than a thousand subordinates of the Shan army guarding them.

"There is water in the north and south, and the Qi of the Central Plains is self-contained. Clouds and mountains connect to Jin and soil, and smoke trees enter Qinchuan!" Standing at Fengling Ferry, looking at the slowly flowing Yellow River, I felt something in my heart.

"Good poem!" Yeluzhen said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so talented, in just twenty words, she clearly explained the key to Feng Lingdu!"

Yeluzhen, like Yelujun, was a rare person with both civil and military skills among Liao people who were only moderately talented and Jinshi.

Xiao Chuo shook his head with a smile: "I didn't write this. It was more than ten years ago. I wrote down what my second brother sang when I crossed Fenglingdu together with my second elder brother in the northwest. It has been more than ten years Yes, Chongyu came back here again today, but things are different!"

"So it's Xiao Chongwen!" Yeluzhen sighed with emotion, the three brothers and sisters of the Xiao family didn't have any ordinary people. "Now he is flourishing in the southwest, I am afraid that in the future, he will also be our great enemy to rule the world!"

"Marshal, when will the Western Army arrive at Fenglingdu?" Xiao Chuo changed the subject and returned to the current battle situation.

"Your Majesty, according to the scout's report, the vanguard of the Western Army will arrive at Fenglingdu by the day after tomorrow at most." Yeluzhen said.

"Okay, let's set up camp at Fenglingdu." Xiao Chuo said: "Marshal Yelu, you sent someone to meet with Chief Manager Xiao, and said that a person named Xiao Qi was waiting to see him at Fenglingdu. !"

"Yes!" Yeluzhen naturally knew that this Xiao Qi was the Xiao Chuo in front of her.

In order to ensure that Daliao has enough troops to quickly conquer Tokyo, the queen empress of Daliao came to Fenglingdu alone to stop the menacing western army here.

Maybe it will work,

Maybe not!
Xiao Ding, who has been able to get to where he is today, is probably not a character who can be swayed by emotions!

But it's good to be able to stop for a day or two.

Yeluzhen thought.
