"The son-in-law is right!"
Zuo Qigong and others hurriedly packed up important items such as official seals and spies, and prepared to flee Pingzhou with Ximen Qing and others.
Fortunately, although these ministers of the former Liao Kingdom were Han Chinese, they were all able to ride horses due to the influence of the northern customs.Ximen Qing distributed the captured Pingzhou army horses to Zuo Qigong and their servants, and led them away on horseback.
Before leaving, Ximen Qing left Brother Jiao Ting to take care of the funeral.
Jiao Ting understood this, and after Ximen Qing and his party disappeared into the chestnut forest, Jiao Ting yelled coldly: "Kill! No one will be left behind!"
Over a hundred of Jiao Ting's men heard the sound and fought together, raising their knives and dropping them, and soon hacked to death all the more than 300 Pingzhou Army prisoners tied up by the river.
It's not once or twice that "faceless" Jiao Ting has taken care of funeral matters for senior officials of Ximen Qing, and he is very familiar with it.
Now that he is in Pingzhou, right under Zhang Jue's nose, Ximen Qing will not mercilessly leave a living and expose his whereabouts.
As for why the captives were killed after Ximen Qing and the others had left, of course it was because they were afraid of frightening Zuo Qigong's well-read old folks!
After confirming that none of the prisoners were dead, Jiao Ting also led his men to drive towards Ximen Qing and the others, and also disappeared into the chestnut forest.
……
Zhang Jue and Li Shi waited in Pingzhou City for half a day, but they didn't see the love general Zhang Qian and the councilor Zhao Neng returning to the city to return to their orders, so they couldn't help feeling suspicious.
Zhang Qian brought [-] soldiers and horses, can't he just deal with a few old men who have no strength to restrain chickens?
Zhang Jue didn't believe that his brother Zhang Qian would betray him, but since there was no reply after so long, it was obvious that something was wrong with this matter.
Zhang Jue, who couldn't sit still in Pingzhou City, personally led a group of men and horses out of the west gate and rushed to the chestnut forest on the west bank of the Luan River.
When Zhang Jue rode his horse and rushed to the edge of the chestnut forest, a bloody smell came over his face.
However, what caught Zhang Jue's eyes was not the corpses of Zuo Qigong and others, but the corpses of the Pingzhou army in disorder.
The big thing is bad!
Zhang Jue hurriedly asked his men to look for Zhang Qian and Zhao Neng.
Not long after, everyone found the bodies of Zhang Qian and Zhao Neng. One of them had half of his head chopped off, and the other had more than a dozen transparent holes in his body. The tragic death was unbearable.
Seeing Zhang Qian's corpse, Zhang Jue's eyes were red, and he roared through gritted teeth: "The Jin army killed my brothers, send troops to chase after them, and kill all the enemies to avenge my brothers!"
The generals behind Zhang Jue were ordered to immediately summon their troops and pursue them to the west in the direction of Luanzhou and Yanjing.
Zhang Jue and Li Shi, the think tank next to him, looked at each other with a chill in their hearts.
Looking at the situation at the scene, Zhang Qian, Zhao Neng and more than 500 sergeants were all killed without any power to parry. It must be an army with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
This army was able to sneak into the vicinity of Pingzhou City without anyone noticing, and rescued Zuo Qigong and others, which is really incredible.
You know, Zhang Jue and Li Shi conspired last night to plan to kill today, and at dawn they sent their confidantes Zhang Qian and Zhao Neng to carry it out.
It should be said that this matter is extremely confidential, and there should be no chance of leaking the secret, but how did Zhang Qian and the others encounter the enemy's ambush?
Is there an expert in the Jin army who can predict the future?
Neither Zhang Jue nor Li Shi believed that there were such terrible people in the Jin army.The only reasonable explanation is that the Jin army never had any trust in Zhang Jue. When Zuo Qigong and others came to Pingzhou, they sent an elite force to secretly protect them along the way.
Zhang Jue judged that after Jin Jun rescued Zuo Qigong and others, he should not take the risk of crossing Pingzhou and Yingzhou under his control and fleeing east to Zhongjing Road.It is also impossible for them to flee northward to Lulongling, and go to Xi State to throw themselves into the trap.The greatest possibility for this golden army is to flee westward from Luanzhou to Yanjing City.
The Jin and Song Dynasties are currently allies, and Zuo Qigong and others can calmly go from Yanjing north to Gubeikou or west to Juyongguan and return to the area controlled by the Jin army.
According to this judgment, Zhang Jue sent most of his army and horses to pursue westward, and only sent some fast horses to the east to scout.
However, Zhang Juejun went straight to Luanzhou, but did not find Zuo Qigong and others, and the scouts sent to the east did not find any clues. The army that killed Zhang Qian and Zhao Neng and rescued Zuo Qigong and others It seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
Unwilling to give up, Zhang Jue and Li Shi sent reconnaissance horses to the north and south to search, and finally found the traces of the enemy going south along the Luan River.
When Zhang Jue led his troops to follow all the way to the mouth of the Luan River, he saw only a vast sea. Where was the half of the golden soldiers?
I saw a big wooden sign erected on the tidal flat, with the words "General Zhang does not need to be sent far away" written in flamboyant characters.
Seeing this, Zhang Jue was so angry that he almost vomited blood, rushed forward angrily, drew his knife and chopped down the wooden sign.
When Ximen Qing was planning the rescue of Zuo Qigong and others, he had planned ahead of time and asked "Big Sword" Xu Wen to lead the navy to meet him near the mouth of the Luan River.
When Zhang Jue belatedly pursued to the beach, Ximen Qing and his party had already boarded Xu Wen's naval vessel and sailed to the Liaodong Peninsula of the Kingdom of Jin.
After Ximen Qing sent Zuo Qigong and others to the Kingdom of Jin safely, he had to return to Cangzhou to sit in town, waiting to watch the drama between Xiao Qian and Song Jun, so he couldn't spend more time with Zhang Jue in Pingzhou.
Zhang Jue failed to kill Zuo Qigong and others to gain fame for himself, but he had already broken his face with Jin Guo. Therefore, after returning to Pingzhou, he immediately raised his troops to rebel and changed the Luan, Ping, and Ying prefectures under his control back to the state of Jin. Liao's flag.
Zhang Jue ordered people to post a notice in the three states, announcing that the relocation order of the Jin army was abolished, and all those who were forced to relocate by the Jin army in Yandi could return to their original residences.If the original land and houses are occupied by the Changsheng Army, the Changsheng Army should return them in full.
The Yandi Han people who were forced to relocate and stay in the three states received this amnesty. Everyone was very happy and rushed to tell each other.And set foot on the road home in a mighty way.
After Zhang Jue used this to appease the hearts of the people, he ordered people to hang a portrait of Emperor Tianzuo in the mansion and bow down day and night.
From then on, regardless of the size of the political affairs, Zhang Jue ordered to act after reading in front of the statue of Emperor Tianzuo, to show that he regarded himself as a Liao minister and respected Emperor Yelu Yanxi as orthodox.
8 Chapter Fifty
After Zhang Jue rebelled, he pretended to be a loyal minister of the Liao Kingdom to confuse the survivors of the Liao Kingdom in Luanzhou, Pingzhou, and Yingzhou. .
Because the Han people in Yandi returned to Yanjing one after another, Song Jun soon learned about Zhang Jue's rebellion against the Jin Dynasty.
Wang Anzhong, the appeasement envoy of Yanshan Mansion Road, Zhan Du, the appeasement envoy of Zhongshan Mansion, and others hurriedly sent the information back to the capital to report to the imperial court.
After Song Huizong learned about it, he immediately issued an edict to Zhan Du, the Zhongshan appeasement envoy who acted as the Xuanfu envoy of Xiongzhou Xuanfu Division, to send people to investigate the reality of Pingzhou.
Zhan Du sent people to Pingzhou to inquire about the news, and the spies reported that Pingzhou still used the reign name of the Liao Dynasty, and the officials in the state declared that they would never submit to the Kingdom of Jin or the Song Dynasty.
A few days later, Zhang Jue in Pingzhou sent people to see Wang Anzhong and Zhan Du, expressing his intention to vote for the Song Dynasty, and asked the Song Dynasty for support and assistance.
On the one hand, Zhang Jue sent envoys to express his desire to cooperate with the Song Dynasty and rely on each other, but on the other hand, he closed the door in Pingzhou and insisted that he was only loyal to Emperor Tianzuo and would never submit to the Song Dynasty.For this person's true intentions, the Song court was deeply elusive.
At this time, a minister in the DPRK proposed that although Zhang Jue is willing to cooperate with us because of his request to the Song Dynasty, it does not rule out the possibility that he will suddenly turn around and attack the Song army in the future.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch?The presence of tens of thousands of people in the east of Yanshan Mansion, an indistinguishable force, is indeed a potential threat.
The Great Song had to guard against this risk. Now that Zhang Jue was in opposition to the Kingdom of Jin and wanted something from the Great Song, he might as well take the opportunity to control Zhang Jue, an independent force.
Song Huizong adopted this opinion and sent Zhang Jue's son and daughter Wang Yi to persuade Zhang Jue to surrender.
After Wang Yi went to Pingzhou, Zhang Jue immediately sent his subordinate Zhang Xingyou to Xiongzhou to meet Zhan Du.
When Zhan Du met Zhang Xingyou, he first told him his interests and interests, saying that the reason why the Kingdom of Jin kept Pingzhou from attacking was because Emperor Tianzuo had not been captured in the west and the Song army was pressing down on the border in the south.When the Jin army defeated Emperor Tianzuo and came to Pingzhou again with the prestige of victory, Pingzhou, a tiny place, would definitely be razed by the Jin army.
By virtue of this, Zhan Du lured him for profit, saying that if Zhang Jue was willing to surrender to Da Song, Da Song could designate Zhang Jue as Jiedu envoy and fully support Zhang Jue in running Pingzhou.
