Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Cao was the apprentice of "Leopard Head" Lin Chong, who was killed by Ximen Qing's men.Therefore, Ximenqing didn't want to take Cao Zheng for his own use.

It was precisely because Ximen Qing didn't like the heroes of Erlongshan except Lu Zhishen that he didn't directly let the Erlongshan bandit gang partner with him, but instructed them to defect to the Song army to wash their identities.

In this battle in Taiyuan Mansion, Ximen Qing only had one goal, which was to try his best to keep Brother Lu Zhishen, and hoped that he could use it for himself in the future.

For the three of Yang Zhi, Ximen Qing neither wanted to save them nor harm them, and just let nature take its course.

If these people stayed by Lu Zhishen's side unswervingly, maybe they could escape with Lu Zhishen this time.

It's a pity that the three of Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen parted ways, and Yang Zhi's luck has always been bad, which led to the annihilation of Yang Zhi, Guo Sheng, Cao Zheng and hundreds of subordinates.

The road is chosen by oneself!

……

Weisheng Army's Nanbei Pass, Song Army's Central Army tent, Hebei and Hedong Zhizhi Yao Gu looked at the generals in the tent with a pale face.

After the Zhongzhong Division arrived in Yuci County, they sent several teams of explorers to the south to investigate and meet Yao Gu's army.

Although most of the explorers returned in vain or were wiped out by the rangers of the Jin army, two of the explorers broke through the blockade of the Jin army and rushed to the camp of the ancient Yao army at the North and South Passes.

It was only then that Yao Gu knew that the Central Army of the Planting Division had rushed to Yuci County in advance the night before yesterday, waiting to join him and Zhang Haojun.

Both myself and Zhang Hao have lost their promises. Yesterday, the Central Army of the Planting Division should have faced the attack of the Jin Army alone.

If the Central Army of the Plant Division was defeated because of this, then Yao Gu would have committed a serious dereliction of duty.Sitting on the sidelines, killing friendly troops, and causing the failure of the battle, the court will definitely convict.Yao Gu can't afford this crime!

Now there is only one way for Yao Gu, and that is to lead the whole army to Yuci County at all costs, so that the court can give a satisfactory explanation.

It's not that I, Yao Gu, sat on the sidelines and watched, it's just that my Yao Gu army was facing a too strong Jin army. Our army fought bloody battles for several days before reaching Yuci County.

Yao Gu is now going to put on a posture to cover up the fact that he has been standing still for the past few days.

"Jiao Anjie, are you convicted?"

Yao Gu looked angrily at his subordinate Jiao Anjie.

It's not that this guy has shaken my determination, I, Yao Gu, have already led the troops to Yuci County a long time ago!

"Marshal, the general is finally convicted, please punish him, Marshal!"

After Jiao Anjie learned that the Zhongjun of the Zhongshi Division was trapped, he realized that he had caused a disaster and implicated the coach Yao Gu.Hearing Yao Gu's question, he hastily stepped forward to admit his mistake.

"General Jiao, you are also an old man of the Western Army, so I won't say much. This commander allocated you [-] soldiers and horses to serve as the vanguard of our army. Today, we must conquer Pantuo Town and open the way to Yuci County for our army. aisle."

Yao Gu gave Jiao Anjie a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

"The last general takes orders!"

After Jiao Anjie took the order, he walked out of the tent of the Chinese army, mobilized [-] elite soldiers, and rushed towards Pantuo Town aggressively.

After Jiao Anjie left, Yao Gu also commanded the army to kill northward.

However, it was too late for Yao Gujun to go north at this time!

Yao Gu also did not expect that the [-] troops of the Central Army of the Zhongshi Division would be annihilated by the Jin Army in one day.

When Yao Gu made up his mind to go north, Wanyan Loushi had already ended the battle and sent the main cavalry south to support Wanyan Balisu army.

The Song and Jin armies met in Pantuo, and a bloody battle broke out.

On both sides of the war, there were more than [-] soldiers from the Song Army's Yao Gu Department, and more than [-] people from the Jin Army's Wanyan Balisu Department and Wanyan Huo Girls Department.

In order to clear his name, Yao Gu personally urged the whole army to fight.However, the gap in combat effectiveness between the Song and Jin armies could not be bridged by courage.

After several days of fierce fighting, Yao Gu's army was defeated by Wanyan Balisu's army, and finally returned in defeat.

The Jin army took advantage of the victory to pursue, occupied the North and South Passes, and captured the Weisheng army.

Yao Gu's army hastily retreated to Longde Mansion, but the Jin army came one after another, defeated Yao Gu's army in Longzhou Valley again, and took advantage of the momentum to occupy Longde Mansion.

After Yao Gu's defeat, more than half of the [-] troops were killed or injured, but Jiao Anjie, who was the vanguard, was safe and sound.

After Yao Gu gathered up the remnants, he looked at Jiao Anjie with a complicated expression, wondering why this guy could still be so brazen and live on after he had caused a catastrophe.

Yao Gu made Jiao Anjie the striker, so that if he fails, he will become benevolent, and he will use his heroic death on the battlefield to keep his final honor.

Obviously, Jiao Anjie didn't understand Yao Gu's meaning.

After Yao Gu's defeat, under Wanyan Yinshuke's command, Wanyan Huonu and Wanyan Tu joined forces with Wanyan Ba ​​and returned to Wenshui County with Wanyan Ba, repelling Zhang Hao's [-] troops.

The destruction of Zhongshi Zhongjun and the defeat of Yao Gujun and Zhang Haojun declared that the first Taiyuan siege battle organized by Zhao Huan and his ministers in the Song Dynasty had completely failed.

The death of Zhong Zhong, a famous general of the Western Army, shocked the Song dynasty.The failure of Zhongzhong Army of Zhongshi and Yao Gujun also wiped out the main force of King Qin's army.

In Bianliang City, Tokyo, Emperor Zhao Huan and his ministers were furious when they learned that the siege battle of Taiyuan Mansion had been disastrous, and Zhongshi died in the battle.

The commander Jiao Anjie falsely spread the news that the enemy army was suppressing the border, shaking the army's morale, leading to the destruction of the middle army of the division, and being dismissed and punished.

Li Gang called Jiao Anjie back to Beijing and beheaded him in Qionglin Garden to thank the world.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Guo, the censor Zhongcheng, played in court, saying that Yao Gu's crime of defeat in battle was unforgivable, and he asked the court to punish Yao Gu for his crime.

Therefore, the imperial court ordered Yao Gu to be demoted to Guangzhou in the south of Lingnan.

The root cause of the failure of this battle was that the imperial court listened to false information and forced the Song army to fight quickly, which led to the death of the Zhongshi who rescued Taiyuan and the defeat of Yao Gu.But the imperial court blamed Yao Gu, Jiao Anjie and other generals to cover up their mistakes.

On the one hand, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty tore up the agreement, refused to cede the three towns, and sent a large army to break the siege of Taiyuan.

Of course, the Kingdom of Jin could not accept such reneging behavior of the Song Dynasty.Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai rejected the Song envoy's proposal, and sent envoys Xiao Zhonggong and Zhao Lun to Bianliang City, Tokyo, to negotiate with the Song emperor face to face.

When the generals of Zhongzhong Zhongzhong were defeated, Xiao Zhonggong and Zhao Lun, envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, arrived in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Zhao Huan and his ministers have another ingenious plan!

Chapter 926 Wax Pill Secret Letter Countermeasures

Xiao Zhonggong, whose Khitan name was Shuli, was a nobleman of the Liao Kingdom with a distinguished family background.His father was Xiao Temo, Zhongshu Ling of Liao Kingdom, and his mother was Princess Yue, the third daughter of Daozong of Liao Dynasty.

As an aristocrat of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Zhonggong entered the "Baby Class" to train the emperor's close ministers since he was a child. When he grew up, he became a close minister of Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, and he was loyal to Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi.

In the third year of Baoda, after the Jin army conquered Xijing and Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Zhonggong served as the general of the auxiliary country and the guardian of the Taibao, and led the army to flee to Jiashan in the west following Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi.

At this time, a large number of Khitan nobles in the Liao Kingdom chose to surrender to the Jin army, but Xiao Zhonggong still chose to follow Emperor Tianzuo and guard him by his side.

On the way to escape, some Liao soldiers who were guarding did not want to hide in Tibet anymore, so they launched a rebellion.

Xiao Zhonggong led the army to defeat the rebels, successfully quelled the rebellion, and protected the safety of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi.
