On the night of August 26, Lu Duoxun told Yang Gun a fallacy: betraying one's own people was for the good of the country. Whether the fallacy is reasonable or not depends on whether the people who hear it are willing to believe it. Lu Duoxun also said that both parties have the same expectation and want Xiao Siwen to be overthrown! As long as Xiao Siwen is still here, he doesn't know when Yang Gun will be liquidated Yang Gun had to admit that this was the truth. "General Yang should think carefully about it." Lu Duoxun stood up, "If General Yang helps us this time, most of the imperial court will let you disappear for a while. Xiao Siwen will be finished sooner or later, and this is just the beginning. After a while "We have a way to get General Yang back to Shangjing and reinstate him." "What way?" Yang Gun asked. Lu Duoxun said: "This is a matter for the Daxu Privy Council." Yang Gun said calmly: "If I say if, one day I am under siege, as long as your army opens an opening and lets me take a few people back. "There is no need to hide." Lu Duoxun immediately agreed: "This matter is not difficult. I will discuss it with the generals of the Xu army as soon as possible and leave." Not long after, Yang Ye and Fan Zhongyi came back, and Yang Ye declared himself a general. The government officials removed him and asked Yang Gun if he wanted to go and watch. Yang Gun made a mistake and said no need Later I learned that Fan Zhongyi took a look that night and had no suspicion at all, because from the beginning Fan Zhongyi did not think that the officials in the former camp were fake. It was night, and the murder scene was dimly lit. It was bloody and bloody, and the scene was very horrific. Fan Zhongyi confirmed that the body was wearing official uniform. ¡ On the battlefield to the west of Pingxing Ridge, Yang Gun and others escaped from the Shura field. He was wounded and trekked in the mountains for a day with a team of people, and he found a path across the mountains. After that, they only encountered some scattered cavalry from the Xu army, probably Gao Yanchou's Wuzhou army scouts. They finally returned to Yunzhou. Xiao Siwen immediately called them to meet, and asked with a livid face: "What happened behind Yanmen Pass?!" At this time, Yang Gun fell to the floor with a "plop", and the clothes and armor behind his back were covered with blood. Yelu Hu'er stepped forward to inspect and said hurriedly, "Quickly find the doctor to save General Yang!" Yelu Hu'er then reported to Xiao Siwen: "Mr. Xiao, Hedong is completely a trap!" Xiao Siwen was not too surprised. He had seen him in the past two days. More or less, he should have received some bad news. He just asked anxiously: "Where is Xiao Duoli and how are his troops?" Yelu Hu'er said: "Xu's army has 100,000 or 200,000 people setting up an ambush in the east of the river. ! Yang Yebu turned against us when we saw him, and the cannons fired wildly, and the cavalry rushed over. Dong Zunjie's light soldiers rushed in and blocked our retreat. We were forced to go east, and met Liu Renzhan's Pingzhou Army again at Pingxingling. Gao Yanchou, who is on the north side of Menshan, is waiting inside to intercept" Xiao Siwen clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were already bloodshot. There was resentment in Yelu Huer's tone. It was clear that he did not think that the defeat was the responsibility of the frontline soldiers. "It's good if one out of ten of our troops can survive! Fortunately for the generals and the rest, Yang Gun fought to the death to break through, and he knew that The road to the east of the river was full of difficulties and dangers before he returned by chance" "Xiao Siwen's body was shaking, his hair and beard were all messy, and he looked haggard. He stood there without saying a word At this moment, it was too late to do anything. It would be difficult to gather enough troops to compete with Xu's army for rescue in less than a month or two. Xiao Siwen suddenly looked at Fan Zhongyi coldly. Fan Zhongyi looked at him and knelt down on the ground: "Mr. Xiaosave me!" "Take Fan Zhongyi and Yang Gun into custody and never let them leave the Chinese army. "Xiao Siwen said coldly. Yelu Hu'er said: "Yang Gun fought desperately to kill the enemy and was seriously injured. Can you please save his life first and wait for the court to convict you?" Xiao Siwen was annoyed and anxious, and said to Yelu Hu'er: "You are just a defeated general who ran away from the battle. ¡± Yelu Huer bowed his head, not daring to provoke Xiao Siwen. Xiao Siwen immediately left the camp and climbed to Yunzhou Nancheng to have a look. There was a wilderness in the distance and nothing could be seen. Standing on the top of the city, the cool breeze of late autumn blew, and Xiao Siwen suddenly felt the chill all over his body, which was as cold as bone marrow For such a big and complete failure, Fan Zhongyi and Yang Gun alone may not be able to shoulder the responsibility. The greater dangers coming from Xu and Daliao are probably yet to come. Xiao Siwen had to desperately suppress his unbearable frustration and anger and consider the serious consequences. He looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, and saw the flag on the top of Yunzhou City flapping the flagpole in the wind. ¡"Pa!" The Chinese army flag was blown, and Xiao Duli, who was in a daze, suddenly heard a huge noise suddenly become real from his ears. He was trembling all over, staring at the horrific scene in front of him with blood-red eyes. It¡¯s all corpses! The whole land seems to be littered with dead people and horses.It's full of weapons, and there are countless crazy living people. "Bang bang bang" More than a dozen people held iron guns and fired at a Liao soldier. The Liao soldier fell to his knees with blood all over his body, then fell forward and became one of the countless corpses. One body. It seemed that there was still fighting two days ago, but I don¡¯t know when it turned into a massacre. Now there are not many Liao soldiers left, and there are still a few over there. They are pushed to the ground by the swarming enemy soldiers and stabbed desperately, screaming in agony. Some Liao soldiers clung to the mountain wall as if they were wild animals. From time to time, some people screamed and fell from the stone wall. The hillside where Xiao Duoli was standing was surrounded by Xu troops! At this time, a group of people finally came up the mountain. The soldiers came forward with weapons to stop the group of people, but Xiao Duoli just stood there in a daze, his voice had long been hoarse from shouting. "Bang bang bang" A few bursts of white smoke rose again in the air filled with gunpowder smoke and dust. After a while, a dense group of people gradually approached the top of the mountain. The soldiers and horses who had just descended had no movement. A big man covered in heavy armor came up with a large group of soldiers in armor. The big man said: "General Yang Ye, please put down your weapons later!" Back away slowly. He himself stepped back fearfully and helplessly, his round red eyes seeming to reflect a sea of ??blood. ¡ ¡ The night in Daxu Capital City is still so quiet. Guo Shao, who looked tired, supported his head on his arms and leaned on a table, half asleep and half awake. He suddenly saw a strange scene. Old floor tiles are set on the ground. The square tiles from the brick kiln were originally very rough, but now the surface has been smoothed a lot, and there are even cracks on one piece. There is a wooden bar inserted straight between the floor tiles. There are knock marks on both sides of the wooden bar, as if a stone or something heavy was knocked into the gap between the bricks little by little, but the middle of the wood was avoided when the knock was made. The pointed tip. Whoever made this thing seems to have put in a lot of effort. "Bang!" Suddenly a person jumped straight to that place! The man groaned, gritted his teeth, gasped for air, and inhaled hissingly from time to time. A pool of blood soaked out from under his body, and his limbs began to struggle. His nails scratched blood marks on the stone bricks, and he finally groaned in pain Guo Shao shuddered, opened his eyes, and found the eunuch Wang Zhongzheng. Put a blanket over him. Guo Shao stared at Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong quickly took a step back and bent down to stand. Only then did Guo Shao realize that there was another person standing in the palace, Xiao Chuo. Her hair is still a little moist, her hair is black at the edges, her skin is fair and tender, but her ears are bright red. "Your Majesty." Wang Zhong followed Guo Shao's gaze and turned to look at Xiao Chuo. Only then did Guo Shao remember that when he grabbed Xiao Chuo's hand in the Wenhua Hall that day, Wang Zhong was standing behind him. At this moment, another eunuch came outside the palace. Wang Zhong bowed slightly, walked outside the door, and mumbled something. After a while, Wang Zhong came back again, leaned over and whispered in Guo Shao's ear: "Your Majesty, the Privy Council has just received an urgent report from Hedong. The Liao general Xiao Duoli was captured by Yang Ye. The battlefield was full of blood. The gains were in vain and there were too many. It's the corpse of the Liao army" After hearing this, Guo Shao let out a long breath and said, "I lost a lot of houses in Tokyo last time. I chose the best one in the inner city to keep for Yang Ye. Give it a name. You can ask someone to make a plaque and call it 'Tianbo Mansion. On the lampshade hanging on the wall, the exquisite pictures of ladies are illuminated more vividly by the candlelight. There were many candles burning on the copper lamp stands, and the entire palace was reflected in the warm yellow light. Guo Shao looked at Xiao Chuo in the candlelight. The height of the teenage girl was almost the same as that of an adult woman, but her body always looked very thin. "Your Majesty" Xiao Chuo looked up at him, "I heard that the women who slept in the Central Plains Palace will never leave the palace again. For the sake of the royal family's face, is it true?" Guo Shao said casually: "Look. When, in recent years, there is nothing special about it." Xiao Chuo said timidly: "Can I still see my father?" Guo Shao then understood what Xiao Chuo meant and said, "I will see him." He pondered. After a moment, he said again, "It won't be long." The emperor's golden words obviously do not lie to others casually. Guo Shao stroked the light hair on his head and took a long breath and said: "Go back to your room and sleep. Wang Zhong should still be in Long Live Hall now. Go out to find him and take you back." Xiao Chuo was stunned for a moment. He hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, did I say something wrong to make you angry?" Guo Shao said gently and kindly: "No, youDon't think too much. If people always say the wrong thing in front of me, I will be alone. It's just that I don't want to let myself get entangled I'm thinking about other things right now and am in a bad mood. I'll talk about it in a few days. " Xiao Chuo curtsied gracefully and withdrew silently. She learned Wanfu well, but she still didn't like to talk when she saluted. Guo Shao watched her thin back go out, sitting still on the chair. He couldn't move at all. The palace in the Long Live Palace was tall and large, and the bed was very large. Although the furnishings were luxurious, it still seemed empty. Guo Shao was the only one left who felt this way. Even the sleeping place was like this. There was no sense of security in sleeping in a room that was too big. Guo Shao suddenly felt that everything was very absurd. But after sitting there for a long time, he gradually realized that he had everything. I am in control of everything, and as long as I am careful not to be plotted, I still have a long life to enjoy it all. The key is that no matter what I do, it is legal and will not be judged by anyone. , your destiny is completely in your own hands Isn't it just for this that you have come to this point step by step?
