    Dong Yun was afraid that Tong Guan's decision would offend one of the factions, so he hurriedly said: "The Liangshan bandits have captured Tokyo. What's the point of the generals still arguing about this matter here."

    When the generals of the Western Army heard what Dong Yun said, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

    Seeing that everyone was no longer arguing, Tong Guan nodded and said: "I just received news that the Liangshan bandits suddenly captured Tokyo. The emperor and all the princes fell into the hands of the bandits."

    A military general shouted: "Then let's take charge and go north to King Qin."

    Tong Guan shook his head and said: "The walls of Tokyo are high and thick, and the Western Army is tired. Even if it goes north, I'm afraid it won't be able to recapture Tokyo. Moreover, the emperor has decreed that all state capitals should submit to Daliang, so we have no name for our troops.  "

    Xin Xingzong said: "Then what does the prime minister mean?"

    Tong Guan had already discussed with Dong Yun, and after hearing this, he said: "The Zhao and Song dynasties were originally founded by Taizu. It was not until Taizu's death that it was passed to Taizong. After that, Taizong's lineage succeeded to the throne. I dare to say that this world should have  He is from the lineage of Taizu, and the emperor has decreed that the world should be handed over to Daliang. This is because the name is not justified. I intend to invite the lineage of Taizu to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, so as to avoid the destruction of the Song Dynasty. "

    Wang Yuan pondered for a while and said, "I wonder when the Liangshan bandits conquered Tokyo?"

    Tong Guandao: "It should have been in early March when the Liangshan bandits raided Tokyo. No one in the city escaped, so I don't know the specific date."

    It is true that no one escaped from Tokyo City, but the time when Liangshan¡¯s army marched towards Tokyo was still known to the prefectures and counties along the way.  However, Tokyo fell and there was no leader. The state capitals did not know where to report the news. There was no one to compile the news, so the state capitals were a little confused.

    Wang Yuan frowned and said: "It has been more than ten days. I am afraid that the Liao Kingdom and Xixia have already received the news. The Liao Kingdom is already declining, and I am afraid that it is unable to go south. Xixia has been recharging its energy in recent years. Brother Li Qianshun, King of Xixia, observed  Brother Cha is also brave and resourceful. In the third year of Xuanhe, he defeated a large number with less and killed Liu Fa, the famous general of our Western Army. If Li Qianshun had not issued an order to negotiate peace, Brother Cha would have led his troops to invade our northwest. Now he has got the news.  , Li Qianshun will definitely be encouraged to send troops to invade the border."

    After Tong Guan took over the military power, he has been sending troops to the northwest, using the corpses of northwest soldiers to pave the way for his promotion.  The victories in previous years also made Tong Guan think that Xixia had declined, and he was no longer content with fighting for the border cities, so he ordered Liu Fa to lead his troops into the hinterland of Xixia.

    Emperor Li Qian of the Western Xia Dynasty asked Cha Ge to lead troops to snipe the Song army. Li Qianshun pretended to have a decisive battle, but secretly sent elite cavalry to go behind the Song army. They attacked from both sides and defeated the Song army. He captured and killed more than ten Song soldiers.  Wan, Xihe Jinglue Liu Fa, who led the troops, was also killed in battle.  Cha Ge took advantage of the victory to pursue and besiege Zhenwu Army.

    However, when Xixia won a complete victory, Li Qianshun recalled Brother Cha and issued an order to discuss peace.  Only then did Xixia soldiers and horses refrain from invading the Song Dynasty on a large scale.

    However, this defeat was concealed by Tong Guan. Instead, he reported it to the court and defeated Xixia.

    All the generals of the Western Army knew that Li Qianshun had worked hard to govern in recent years and Xixia was strong. However, Li Qianshun did not seem to be keen on expanding his territory and rarely launched large armies to invade the border. Instead, Tong Guan led troops to provoke Xixia from time to time.  If the Liao Kingdom is declining, Xixia is at its strongest, and it can be said to be a dormant tiger.

    Now that the Central Plains is in chaos and the main force of the Western Army has gone south, no one thinks that Xixia will miss this opportunity.

    Xin Xingzong was worried about the fire in the backyard, so he no longer wanted to curry favor with Tong Guan. He cupped his fists and said, "Please allow us to return to the northwest."

    Other generals also habitually asked Tong Guan for orders.

    Tong Guan also knew that these Western Army generals seemed to be obeying his orders now, but once he rejected these Western Army commanders, I am afraid that not only would they not obey his orders, but if they were not careful, these arrogant generals would even plunder and plunder before leaving.

    "Okay, I will ask the states along the way to supply food and grass. Without further ado, you can organize the troops and horses."

    The generals of the Western Army did not care about asking for the bounty for their previous beheadings, so they immediately resigned and went to reorganize their troops.

    When the soldiers of the Western Army learned that their homeland might be lost, they ignored the hard work and instead urged the general to regroup.

    Within half an hour, 100,000 Western troops started to move towards the northwest.

    As soon as the Western Army withdrew, Tong Guan was also afraid that Lu Shinang from Taizhou would lead his troops to capture Fangla, so he immediately led 20,000 victorious troops to Hangzhou.

    ¡°Furthermore, Fang Baihua and Fang Jie escaped from Muzhou all the way. They did not dare to enter the towns along the way. They only chose country roads. When they arrived in Jingxian County, Xuanzhou, they found that the officers and soldiers no longer checked passers-by, so they dared to enter the city.

    The two of them had just entered the city when they heard a person next to them saying to their companion: "Have you heard? The Liangshan troops captured Tokyo, and the emperor ordered all the prefectures to submit to Daliang. I don't know if our county is now Daliang or somewhere else.  Already?"

    The companion said: "Now?I didn¡¯t know that Liangshan soldiers and horses captured Tokyo. I heard that many state capitals in Gyeonggi were captured by Liang.  It's just that I haven't heard about the emperor's edict. How did you know?  "

    The man looked around and then said: "It is said that after Liangshan captured Tokyo, the emperor issued an edict to the state capitals, but many state officials hid the edict. In the past few days, Daliang distributed the emperor's edict everywhere, and Dajiang  The people in the north know about it, and I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be long before the people in the south of the Yangtze also know about it.¡±

    The companion wondered: "Why did those officials hide the imperial edict, and why did Liangshan distribute the imperial edict everywhere."

    The man said: "I also heard people say that those officials didn't know whether they should receive the imperial edict, so they hid the imperial edict and pretended not to receive it. Liangshan issued the imperial edict because he wanted the people of the world to know that the emperor had  The imperial edict has been issued, and if any official resists, it will be disrespectful to rebel, and they will lose their righteousness. If their troops are unknown, officials in other states will not respond, and then the beams can be defeated one by one. "

    The companion nodded and said: "You are right. They are officials in compliance with the emperor's decree. If they resist the decree and disrespect it, why should they be officials? But could this imperial decree be false? How could the emperor give up the country?  To Daliang?¡±

    The man said: "The royal family has been captured by Daliang. Even if the emperor refuses to abdicate, the world will no longer belong to his family. Why don't we issue an edict to save their lives? I heard that the emperor of Daliang became a virtuous man. I think he will be the emperor."  It was only obtained by issuing an edict, otherwise the emperor would have been killed long ago if he had followed Daliang's example. I heard that Daliang publicly executed Cai Jing, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu, Cai You, Zhu Meng and Li Gang in Tokyo.  The traitorous officials were even engraved with monuments to be reviled by the people for generations. I heard that on the day of execution, the people were scrambling to eat the flesh of these traitorous officials. "

    "Well done. I can't wait to eat the flesh and sleep on the skin of such traitors. Daliang should have brought the dog thief Zhu Meng to the south of the Yangtze River for execution. How many people in the southeast have been killed by him." (To be continued. Please search Piao Piao.  Astronomy, novels are better and updated faster!)
