When the news of Guan Sheng and Wu Yong's victory reached Ximen Qing, it was already noon the next day. Knowing that both sides had defeated the enemy, Ximen Qing was extremely happy, and immediately asked Dai Zong to inform both sides to continue their march. Ximen Qing also quickly sent orders to all the battalions to stand up, and then the army set off towards Tokyo City. Run.
The army marched for a day. At noon on the third day, Ximen Qing arrived one mile outside the north gate of Tokyo City. At the same time, Guan Sheng's army stopped one mile outside the west city gate, and Wu Yong's army stopped one mile outside the east city gate. at.
Three armies set up camp and stopped.
"In Tokyo, officials were panicked, but the people were secretly surprised. Because for them, it is true orthodoxy that the Liangshan army follows the way of heaven and defeats the rebels. And Zhao Yunluo is a traitor who conspires against him, and everyone will find him and punish him.
As for Zhao Yunluo, it seems that his head turned gray overnight, his spirit became much weaker, and he no longer had the domineering power he once had to dominate the world.
In the Imperial Study Room, Cai Jing, Yang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Privy Council, and the commander of the imperial army gathered together to discuss the policy towards the enemy. It should be mentioned that Su Yuanjing was defeated and knew that his crime was unforgivable, so he begged Zhao Yunluo to remove him from his post and allow him to retire and return to his hometown. Zhao Yunluo knew Su Yuanjing's ability, so he was unwilling to let go. But Su Yuanjing suddenly fell ill again, and the imperial doctors said he was terminally ill. Zhao Yunluo had no choice but to allow Su Yuanjing to retire and return home.
Zhao Yunluo glanced at the people in the imperial study and sighed. Although there are civil servants and military officers in this room, the civil servants only know how to read and write lyrics, and the military officers only know how to practice martial arts. Which one is of great use? Can it handle the 300,000 troops attacked by Ximen Qing?
At this time, Zhao Yunlin was very confused.
"I think he was a Kunlun saint when he was young, but he lived in the admiration of everyone. When he got older, he held heavy troops, fought with force, killed Fang La, and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, which can be said to be a great achievement in battle. In the end, he became the emperor, the leader among thousands of people, and dreamed of unifying the world, then expanding his territory, and achieving the reputation of the first emperor.
" However, the emperor had not been in office for five months. Ximen Qing unexpectedly led an army to attack him, and even attacked him at his doorstep.
The difference between before and after is simply too great.
Zhao Yunluo admitted that he once looked down upon the Liangshan army. Because the Liangshan army was all rogue bandits, gathered by the rough and tumble in the rivers and lakes, and later they were cowardly in recruiting troops, without any sense of loyalty. All these things made Zhao Yunsu look down on Liangshan, thinking that he could easily destroy Liangshan as long as he led his troops there. But now, Zhao Yunluo realized how big his mistake was. The negligence at that time led to the regret today. I regret it.
"Hey, dear friends, Commander Ximen Qing came with great momentum and has now reached the door. Do you have any strategies to deal with the enemy?" Zhao Yunluo asked.
The people below lowered their heads, glanced at each other, and then their heads dropped even lower.
After being silent for a while, Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, Ximen Qing's army is attacking, and its momentum has been unstoppable. In addition, the deployment of troops the day before yesterday was unfavorable, and there is a shortage of soldiers in the capital. There are only 170,000 or 80,000 available soldiers. It is difficult to resist the attack of Liangshan soldiers. City, so I think the top priority is to delay Ximen Qing, and then use other forces to deal with Ximen Qing!"
"With the help of other forces?" Zhao Yunluo was stunned and asked suspiciously.
Cai Jing nodded and said: "Your Majesty, other rebel forces are no longer a threat. The biggest threat now is Ximen Qing! The top priority now is to get rid of Ximen Qing. So Your Majesty, we can win over those rebel forces. Form an alliance with them and deal with Ximen Qing together. As long as Ximen Qing is killed, Your Majesty will still be able to rule the world and eliminate those bouncing forces one by one!"
Zhao Yunluo said: "That's it Hey, if I do that, won't I lose my face? Besides, are those forces willing to help us fight against Ximen Qing? You know, Ximen Qing has become Killed the tiger!"
Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to worry about losing face. If the capital is lost, no matter how much face is lost, it cannot be repaired. Your Majesty, as long as we know how to benefit, those forces will definitely rush to help us, and those who The leaders of the forces are not stupid, they know that as long as Ximen Qing takes Tokyo City, they will be the ones who will suffer next!"
Zhao Yunluo sighed and said: "That's the only way it can be! Grand Master, look at which of these forces it is best to win over first?"
Cai Jing said: "Your Majesty, there are currently more than a dozen rebel forces in the Song Dynasty. Among them, Tang Tianheng's Tang Army and Jiang Jiu of Jiangzhou Prefecture are the most powerful. The other rebel forces are too weak. Jiangjiu's forces occupy Jiangzhou, mainly naval forces, and they are relatively far from Tokyo. To win over them??Water cannot quench thirst. And Tang Tianheng's Tang Army is in Hebei, relatively close to Liangshanshuibo, which is Ximen Qing's base camp. At this time, Ximen Qing's massive attack will leave the headquarters empty, so Your Majesty can win over Tang Tianheng's Tang Army and give him some benefits. He attacked Liang Shanshui Po. Tsk tsk. As long as Liang Shan Shui Po was captured, he would kill all the family members of Ximen Qing and others, and then expose their bodies to the sun for three days. Haha, by then, would the Liangshan army still have the intention to attack the city? At that time, the Liangshan army will disperse without attacking and will become a piece of loose sand. . . . "
When Zhao Yunluo heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened, and then he slapped the table and shouted: "This is a very good plan. It is enough to make Ximen Qing miserable. It's just that he has to send someone to find Tang Tianheng to make friends with him. It won't take more than half a month. Arrived. In more than half a month, it will be enough for Ximen Qing to lead his troops to capture Tokyo City!"
Cai Jingdao: "So your Majesty needs peace talks, and peace talks with Ximen Qing to delay time. You can even issue an imperial edict and make Ximen Qing a king with a different surname. As long as you can delay him, it is victory!"
Zhao Yunlin nodded and said: "Then this is the only way"¡ª¡ª
On the second day, Ximen Qing was discussing the attack plan in the camp. At this time, Song Jiang and Wu Yong were both in the camp. However, just when everyone was discussing, Yue Fei hurried over.
Yue Fei said: "Commander, the gate of Tokyo just opened, and three people came out. They said they were sent by Zhao Yunluo to negotiate peace with you!"
"What, peace talks?" Many leaders were stunned.
But Ximen Qing, Song Jiang, and Wu Yong looked at each other and understood.
Ximen Qing waved his hand and said to Yue Fei: "Go and bring them in."
"Yes, Commander!" Yue Fei responded, and then hurriedly retreated. After Yue Fei left, Lin Chong asked: "Commander, what does Zhao Yunluo mean? Peace talks? What nonsense, can he give up the throne of the emperor and give it to us willingly!"
Ximen Qing laughed and said: "The throne is a good thing. Zhao Yunluo is very nervous, how could he give it to me!"
Wu Yong chuckled and said: "It's impossible to get the throne, but it's very possible to be crowned a king!"
"What do you mean?" everyone asked in unison.
Song Jiangdao: "Zhao Yunluo knew that he was no match for the commander, and knew that it was only a matter of time before Tokyo City was captured in front of Liangshan's army, so Zhao Yunluo took the initiative to seek peace, thinking of granting the commander a title, or even a king with a different surname, so that the commander could withdraw his troops!"
Ximen Qing smiled and said: "It's time to make the king! Now we are attacking Zhao Yunluo under the pretext of destroying the traitor. If we destroy Zhao Yunluo and take over the world, then I will have no excuse to be the emperor, because I am a minister. But If it is to make me a king, the meaning will be different. If Zhao Yunluo really makes me a king with a different surname this time, then even if there is a conspiracy, he will have to follow it!"
Wu Yong nodded and added: "There is a conspiracy for sure, but it is more likely to be Zhao Yunluo's plan to delay time!"
Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, let's wait and see what kind of evil idea Zhao Yunluo has!"
Everyone nodded.
After a while, Yue Fei led the three officials sent by Zhao Yunluo into the camp.
The three people entered the camp and hurriedly knelt down. Their voices trembled slightly and they said, "I'd like to pay my respects to Lord Pioneer!"
At this time, Ximen Qing was still the pioneer envoy to conquer Liao, and he was also a deputy third-rank official, so he was still an official in office.
Ximen Qing waved his hand, and then asked: "Why did Zhao Yunluo send you here?"
The three people looked at each other, and the middle-aged man in the middle took out the imperial edict from his arms and said: "Back to Master Xianfeng, Your Majesty knows that Your Majesty has been traveling all the way back from the expedition to Liao, so he specially sent a subordinate to come to express condolences and tell Your Majesty that His Majesty is ready. I have rewarded you for your contribution to conquering Liao. I have been preparing for the past few days. I hope you will not be anxious and just station the army outside the city first!"
"Oh, I'm going to be rewarded!" Ximen Qing opened the imperial edict and browsed it, then laughed, and then said: "Go back and tell Zhao Yunluo that I, Ximen Qing, can easily spend my time with gold, silver, and jewelry. Of course, the title does not matter. Well, just make him the king directly."
The middle-aged man¡¯s face was covered in sweat.
He cupped his hands and said, "My subordinates will definitely report to Your Majesty what the Pioneer has to say!"
Ximen smiled and said, "Okay, let's go!"
"My subordinates say goodbye!" The middle-aged man bowed his hands and hurriedly left with his two followers.
After they left, Lin Chong smiled and said, "You really came here to seek peace!"
Wu Yong said: "I feel that Zhao Yunluo is stalling for time."
"Pedant, why is Zhao Yunlin delaying time? What conspiracy does he have?" Wu Song asked.
Wu Yong stroked his beard, chuckled, and said: "Zhao Yunluo knows that the capital cannot defend our attack, so he is stalling for time, waiting for the opportunity to defeat us in one fell swoop!"
Li Kui shouted: "How is that possible! As long as this bird man dares to summon soldiers and horses, grandpa will kill them all with one axe! Let them know how powerful grandpa is, hum!"
Lin Chong glared at Li Kui, and then asked: "Pedant, what opportunity do you think Zhao Yunluo is waiting for?"
Wu Yong frowned, shook his head, and said: "You made me suddenly think about it, and I can't guess it. But it must be a sinister plan. I will think about it after I return to my account at night. Commander, you'd better tell me your story Let¡¯s make a plan, should we send troops directly, or delay for a few days to see Zhao Yunluo¡¯s conspiracy?¡±
Ximen Qing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Let's take a look at Zhao Yunluo's conspiracy first! If he can really be crowned king, that would be the best. But if he is really crowned king, the process will not be simple. Haha, we'll see. "
Immediately, all the leaders went back to their tents to rest.
