The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 56 The Traitor's End (Part [-])

At this moment, he just wanted to find a boat to leave Quzhou Island quickly.He knew that if he led an army to attack the island, Emperor Song would not even give him a chance to surrender.

But while he was running staggeringly, someone beside him suddenly kicked him to the ground, and then his neck was held by a sword.

Ge Lijun was shocked, seeing that it was his own military adviser, he asked, "What are you doing?"

The military adviser's eyes were full of cruelty, "My lord, if you don't die, we won't survive."

When Ge Lijun's army saw it, he immediately wanted to kill the army division, but was caught up by the flying army behind him, so he hurriedly ran away.

Ge Jun had never seen such a scene before, and was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

In just a blink of an eye, Mr. Ge Li was surrounded by hundreds of soldiers led by Liu Hongyi.

The military adviser smiled obsequiously, "General Liu, I captured this traitor Ge Lijun for you."

Without saying a word, Liu Hongyi suddenly swung the big knife in his hand, beheading the military division's head to the ground, "You villain who is begging for glory!"

He had long been displeased with this treacherous and sycophantic strategist.

Ge Lijun's heart was ashes, and he sat on the ground paralyzed.

Liu Hongyi's broadsword was placed across his neck, and the weight of dozens of catties instantly made Ge Lijun, who was physically and mentally exhausted, flushed, "Where is my wife now?"

However, Mr. Ge Li suddenly became insane, and suddenly murmured with a smile, "Shiye... Fate..."

Liu Hongyi shouted coldly: "You have committed treason and crime, the law of heaven will not tolerate it, and your defeat will be determined early. What right do you have to lament that you will die when you die!"

Mr. Ge Li said: "The Southern Song Dynasty is corrupt and weak. It is the general trend for me to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. I should have captured the Song Emperor and made my way to the top. But you pedantic people spoiled my affairs. Haha, you short-sighted people, kill me today Geli Your Majesty, sooner or later you will be wiped out by the Yuan army."

Liu Hongyi was furious, his tiger eyes widened, "I'm really stubborn, let me ask you, where is my wife!"

Mr. Ge Li chuckled, "I have already killed her."

"what……"

Liu Hongyi could no longer bear the resentment in his heart, swung his knife and chopped off Ge Lijun's head to the ground.

The magistrate of Leizhou, Ge Lijun, passed away.

Ge Jun was so frightened that he wailed and begged for mercy, "General Liu, let me go, let me go..."

Liu Hongyi hated Ge Lijun so much in his heart, but how could he spare him, and he slashed and killed Ge Jun on the spot.

Then he suddenly knelt down in the direction of Leizhou, crying: "Hui'er... your revenge, my husband will avenge you."

A man does not flick his tears lightly, but Liu Hongyi is crying like a child at this time.

Seeing Liu Hongyi like this, the soldiers of the Feitian soldiers next to him felt hatred in their hearts again, and chased and killed the mighty army again, howling.

The Mighty Army had long since collapsed, and they were fleeing in all directions.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng received the scout report and learned that there was a large army coming towards the palace from the foot of the mountain.

The two hurried to Mr. Ge Li's tent, wanting to inquire about the situation, but where can they see Mr. Ge Li's figure?
In an instant, the faces of both of them changed drastically.After exchanging glances, they hurried back to the camp, and then led the remaining army down the mountain.

The drumming stopped suddenly.

The Yuan Army and Leizhou Army who were still fighting bloody battles in the city suddenly couldn't hear the sound of the drums, and they were stunned and panicked.

Not long after, Wen Tianxiang led an army of [-] to the outside of Xinggong City. Seeing the piles of corpses outside the city, he hurriedly led his army into the city.

The Yuan army and Leizhou army were immediately attacked by the enemy. Before noon, they were dying and surrendering.

The smell of blood was overwhelming, the black smoke was still billowing, and the inside and outside of the palace were devastated.

But the soldiers cheered endlessly, the red flag fluttered everywhere in the palace, and the voice of Long Live the Emperor resounded throughout the palace.

On the edge of the cliff, Zhao Dongting stood facing the wind, and all the officials knelt down on the ground, calling for the Holy Spirit.Knowing that it was Zhao Dongting who sent the superstitious Xuan Wen Tianxiang to King Qin earlier, they all admired Zhao Dongting very much.

Zhao Dongting overlooked the palace and closed his eyes slightly as he watched the red soldiers raising their troops and cheering.

At this moment, he was not just fighting for his life anymore.

He completely substituted himself into the role of the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, no longer thinking about sensuality and being slept with, but fighting for this country, fighting for countless civilians who shouted in their hearts to help the Song Dynasty.

The sea breeze blew slowly, as if it brought the shouts of countless people, calling him to Zhao Dongting to fight against the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Song Dynasty.

The condensed will of those dead souls on the bloody battlefield poured into him at this moment.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting's weak and small body, which has not yet grown up, is so stalwart in the eyes of the courtiers.

Not long after, Wen Tianxiang arrived in a hurry with dozens of personal guards.

At this time, Wen Tianxiang was 43 years old, with a short beard under his chin, and he was as elegant as jade. When he saw Zhao Dongting, he kowtowed and said: "My minister Wen Tianxiang kowtows to the emperor."

Zhao Dongting opened his eyes, saw this famous historical figure, hurriedly went up to help him up, and said, "Prime Minister Wen, quickly excuse me."

He has never met Wen Tianxiang, but those who can leave poems such as "No one in life has died since ancient times, keep his loyal heart to reflect the history" are definitely loyal and brave people.

Wen Tianxiang couldn't afford it, and said again: "I am too late to save you, so I ask the emperor to forgive me."

"Where are these words?"

Zhao Dongting said with a light smile, "The prime minister came just in time."

At the end, he asked again: "By the way, how is Leizhou?"

Wen Tianxiang replied: "After receiving the emperor's secret decree, I hurriedly led the army from Huizhou to surrender the defenders of the counties along the coast of Leizhou last night. Now [-] soldiers are left to guard Haikang County."

"it is good!"

Zhao Dongting couldn't help clapping his hands again, "Prime Minister Wen has made great contributions to our Song Dynasty this time, and I will definitely reward you heavily."

Wen Tianxiang said: "It's all the meritorious service of the officers and men, I am ashamed and dare not take it."

"All will be rewarded, all will be rewarded."

Zhao Dongting smiled and pulled Wen Tianxiang up, held his hand and said, "Let's go, the prime minister will follow me to the Yizheng Hall!"

Seeing the emperor being so close to him, Wen Tianxiang was so moved that he almost shed tears.

His fortunes in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty were extremely tortuous, and he worked in Lin'an when Emperor Gong of the Song Dynasty Zhao Xian was in power.

At that time, Empress Dowager Xie was in charge of the government, and it was Wen Tianxiang who suggested that the then auspicious king, Zhao Shi, be the king of Yi, appointed as the general judge of Fuzhou, and the letter king, Zhao Bing, be the king of Guang, appointed as the general judge of Quanzhou, so the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty was able to retain these two. blood.Otherwise, there would not be the current Zhao Dongting.

But later, Empress Dowager Xie firmly believed in the words of the left prime minister, Chen Yizhong, and wanted to run away, but also wanted to surrender, vacillating.

When Yuan general Boyan led the army to besiege the city, Chen Yizhong sent Yang Yingkui, the supervisory envoy, to take the Jade Seal of Chuanguo and the Surrender Form, and declare unconditional surrender to the Yuan Dynasty.

But Chen Yizhong himself ran away secretly.

Under such circumstances, Wen Tianxiang was appointed Prime Minister of the Right by Empress Dowager Xie, but his mission was to go to the camp of the Yuan Dynasty with the new Prime Minister of the Left, Wu Jian, to ask Boyan to accept the surrender of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This promotion can be said to make Wen Tianxiang feel aggrieved.

He was resolute and refused to compromise. When he ran to the camp of the Yuan army, he not only refused to surrender, but also condemned the actions of the Yuan army.

At this time, in fact, he already had the determination to die.

But Boyan did not kill him, but imprisoned him in the Yuan Dynasty military camp.

Then, Empress Dowager Xie led the people to surrender, and Wen Tianxiang was escorted to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

Among them, Fan Wenhu, the surrendered general, was sent by Boyan to pursue Zhao Xian and Zhao Bing, but was stopped by his son-in-law Yang Zhen, who arrested Yang Zhen.

Speaking of it, it was also retribution, this time he followed Zhang Hongfan to attack Quzhou Island, and asked for orders to persuade him to surrender, but was killed by Zhao Dongting on the spot, which can be regarded as revenge for Yang Zhen.

Later, Wen Tianxiang escaped from the Yuan army at night, and after several twists and turns, he pulled up the anti-Yuan troops.

He heard that Zhao Xian and Zhao Shi were not dead, they were in Fuzhou, they chased after them to Fuzhou, and were appointed as the right prime minister and privy envoy, commanding all the troops.

I thought that this time I could always express my ambitions and carry the Yuan Dynasty back to the Song Dynasty, but I was squeezed out by Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie again.

Chen Yizhong is also considered a talent, he fled twice, and was still reused by the court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In fact, Zhao Dongting didn't like Zhang Shijie when he just crossed over, because he and Chen Yizhong pushed Wen Tianxiang out of him in the history books.

Wen Tianxiang failed to do the two, and was expelled from Fuzhou and sent to Jiangxi.

But he was not discouraged. In Jiangxi, he pulled up anti-Yuan troops and fought against the Yuan army, regaining many places one after another.

Later, when he learned that Yuan general Ali Haiya was suppressing Hunan and Guangxi, he quickly led his army into Huizhou, Guangdong, preparing to support Guangxi by sea, so as to prevent the Southern Song court on Quzhou Island from being encircled.It was here that he received a letter from Zhao Dongting asking him to send troops to Leizhou to prevent Gelijun from rebelling, and told him that if Gelijun rebelled, he would take the opportunity to take Leizhou.

He didn't care about Guangxi, and hurriedly led his army to Leizhou by sea.

No, just in time for Lord Geli to lead his army to attack the island.

According to Zhao Dongting's secret decree, Wen Tianxiang first took down the counties along the coast, and then went straight to Qizhou Island.

He is full of Song, but he is repeatedly rejected.Now, as soon as he arrived, he was held by the little emperor's hand, full of closeness, and naturally moved in his heart.

Zhao Dongting knew Wen Tianxiang's experience and character in the history books, so he naturally trusted and admired him very much.

He brought all the ministers and Wen Tianxiang to the political hall, but he refused to let go of Wen Tianxiang's hand, insisting on letting Wen Tianxiang sit on the dragon couch with him.

This made De Wen Tianxiang feel extremely apprehensive and apprehensive.

Zhang Shijie brought people in to report the results of the battle. Seeing this scene, his face changed slightly.

But he didn't say anything, just nodded to Wen Tianxiang, and then said: "Your Majesty, all the enemy troops are under attack, but the Leizhou Flying Army and the Mighty Army are still fighting at the foot of the mountain. Please let the Emperor decide."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "Lead the army to help the Flying Army, be sure to completely destroy the Mighty Army!"

"I obey my orders!"

Seeing Wen Tianxiang being favored so much, Zhang Shijie was filled with displeasure, and he didn't want to take another look at him, so he turned his head and left as ordered.

He originally wanted to repay the results of the battle, but now he doesn't bother to talk about it.

Wen Tianxiang knew Zhang Shijie's character, caught a glimpse of his face just now, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I'd better go and stand below!"

Zhao Dongting asked softly, "Are you afraid that Zhang Shijie will be jealous?"

Wen Tianxiang was silent, he was full of sage books and didn't like to gossip behind others' tongues.

Zhao Dongting said to himself, "I just want to get rid of his thoughts. My Great Song Dynasty is about to die, and he still has the thoughts to fight with the courtiers."

Wen Tianxiang was only shocked when he heard it, and he naturally never expected that the little emperor's mind would be so deep.

How is this like something a child can say?

After Zhao Dongting finished speaking, he laughed again. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.Anyway, the ministers on Quzhou Island are used to it now.
