Unexpectedly, the British king actually shot Tuoba Jiqian with one arrow and seriously injured him. After learning the reason for the reversal of this battle, He Yuanfeng did not think about these things. At that time, he was covered in cold sweat. What he knew was if something happened to the King of England. The emperor will not spare himself. Not to mention his own head, that is, the head of his entire family. It’s up to him whether he can keep it or not.
Even if you take ten thousand steps back, the emperor thought that this was the King of England insisting on himself and leaving his own life? But the master in the palace is a master who doesn't rub his eyes with sand. Even if the emperor is merciful and lets him go because of his own inadvertence, he has killed her only biological flesh and blood. Even if he escapes to the end of the world, she will catch him and avenge his son.
Although He Yuanfeng didn't know that Huang Qiong's mother was a great master of martial arts. But as a former member of the Huaiyang County Prince's Mansion, he really knew too much about the master's talents. Because he heard Huang Qiong's grandfather talk about his sons more than once, but even if they were put together, they couldn't compare to this daughter. If this daughter is a man, why should I worry about having no heirs?
With that master's methods, he must not be able to escape from her grasp even if he escapes to the horizon. Think about this clearly on the day you receive the news that Ouyang Shan has defeated Tuoba Jiqian. He Yuanfeng once again accelerated his marching speed. If he hadn't entered the Qingyang Mansion, he would have been getting closer and closer to the rebels. Cavalry was needed to cover the infantry march, and he even wanted to send out all the cavalry.
The defense of Huanzhou was strengthened to closely protect the adventurous King of England. Commanding the main force is also behind, and they are also traveling under stars and nights. Especially after learning that the King of England was intercepted and killed by Party Xiang Jingqi between Qingyang Mansion and Huanzhou. He was even more frightened, and obviously accelerated his marching speed.
He Yuanfeng was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to enter Qingyang Mansion to replenish food and grass. Hurrying slowly along the way, Huang Qiong finally arrived in Huanzhou two days after he commanded the main army. As for Li Jiedu of Longyou, who despite Huang Qiong's urging from the left and from the right, finally arrived at Huanzhou with all the guardsmen and a thousand border troops from Longyou, he even arrived one day later than him. .
After Li Jiedu rushed to Huanzhou with four thousand guards and one thousand border troops. The entire Huanzhou has become a world of soldiers. Because all the people in the city were plundered by the rebels, the entire Huanzhou City was now filled with soldiers. The only difference is that these soldiers come from the Xijing Camp, the Border Army, and the Longyou Guard Army, so the armor on their bodies and the tassels on their heads are of different colors.
However, when the armies of the three parties met, it was immediately apparent the quality of these soldiers. The officers and soldiers of the Xijing camp, after just taking a short rest, even though there was no combat action, they still went out to drill without hesitation. The thousand frontier troops from the Longyou Army showed a hint of murderous intent from head to toe. In comparison, Longyou's local guards seemed extremely undisciplined, and even their drills were perfunctory.
The officers and soldiers in the Xijing camp and the border army were very strict. After the exercise was completed, they were either washing their horses or busy preparing for the battle. The guards in Longyou either gathered together to gamble, or wandered around Huanzhou City in twos and threes. Even at this time, Huanzhou City was completely deserted except for soldiers everywhere, and there was nothing to visit.
Compared with standing guard, the soldiers of the Xijing camp and the border army stood upright. The Longyou Guards all stood loosely on guard. The Xijing camp and the border military attachés all came on horseback. The guards, from the military and horse envoys to their military envoys, all came on sedan chairs. There is no contrast, no harm. When several armies came together, the comparison immediately became clear.
But Li Jiedu, the man from Longyou, didn't pay attention to this at all. His body has long been worn down by wine and sex, and he has long been unable to live without the sedan chair. He also knew that he was late, and was afraid that Huang Qiong would blame him. As soon as we entered the city, we didn't even bother to change the sedan chair, and we didn't even have time to make any appearance. Then he took the military envoys from Pingliang Prefecture who had been brought specially according to Huang Qiong's handwriting and went straight to Huang Qiong's ambassador's residence.
But just when he entered the gate of the palace, he discovered that his deputy Du She was supposed to be in Qingyang Mansion now. I don’t know when, but I also rushed over from Qingyang Mansion. The temporary meeting hall for the ambassador's office was located above the lobby of the former Huanzhou Zhizhou Yamen. The military attachés from the Xijing camp and the border army, including Du She, all had seats, but when it was their turn, they could only stand.
Although this guy can't fight, his head can move very quickly. Seeing such a posture in the lobby, the King of England's face turned slightly downcast. I know that the King of England may have to operate on himself this time. After thinking about this, how can this guy, whose body has been completely hollowed out by alcohol and sex, still stand?
He just fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, each and every time he felt guilty. And the military envoy from Pingliang Mansion next to him saw Lord Jiedushi looking like this. It was already known that Tuoba Jiqian personally led five thousand elite cavalry and infiltrated from his own defense area to behind Huanzhou. When he met the thousand troops and horses led by the British king who was rushing to Huanzhou at that time, he was already frightened.
These two people acted like this when they first came up, which made Huang Qiong, who looked a bit gloomy, amused. He did not expect that Li Jiedu, a dignified second-grade military attaché, would look like such a bear. He didn't say anything yet, but he was frightened first. As for the soldier and horseman behind him, he was even better. This and that are military attachés, they are simply two losers.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong's face softened slightly, and he said directly: "Li Jiedushi, since you took the initiative to ask me to plead guilty. Then I would like to ask you, do you know where you are guilty? You If you can explain it clearly, I can be the master of this and absolve you of your sin. But if you can't explain it clearly, don't blame me for giving you another crime."
After hearing what Huang Qiong said, this person only wanted to make money after taking office. Apart from making money, I have never done anything. After receiving the news of a large-scale rebellion in Ningxia Mansion, the first thing he did was to pray to God and worship Buddha. I beg the rebels in Ningxia Prefecture to be beaten to Lintao Prefecture, where the Jiedushi Envoy is stationed. Under the persuasion of several masters, they hurriedly mobilized their troops without making any preparations.
They didn't even know how many rebels there were, so they launched a counterattack against Ningxia Mansion. Originally, Du She, the deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu, was opposed to hastily deploying troops to counterattack without even knowing the enemy's situation. But Li Jiedu, who was afraid that he would lose his official position if he was too slow, was very determined and took out his rights as a Shangguan and joined forces with Jiedu Tongzhi, who was wearing a pair of trousers with him.
They forced Du She together and immediately led 6,000 guards from Qingyang, Pingliang and Gongchang prefectures to put down the rebellion. He hid in Lintao Mansion, where the Jiedushi Yamen was stationed, to supervise the war. After Du She set out, he didn't care about the enemy's situation. He just urged the troops three times a day and even threatened Du She's head. Du She also knew that Li Jiedu's children and relatives were the privy envoys of the current dynasty.
He said that if he wanted his own head, he might not be able to do it. But it was easy to take off his official title. That Privy Councilor is his in-law, won't the memorial be written according to his wishes when the time comes? In desperation, Du She could only bite the bullet and lead his army to attack. As a result, as soon as they passed the Qinggang Gorge, they were ambushed by a 30,000-strong army dispatched by Tuoba Jiqian, who personally led the Zheluo and Pingxia tribes.
Under the siege of the rebels' superior force, Du She, who almost had his entire army destroyed, managed to break through the siege after several hard battles. With him following him to break out of the encirclement, the remaining two thousand troops withdrew into Qingyang Mansion and stayed there. The reason why Du She was defeated so miserably was because of Li Jiedu's blind command and the declining combat effectiveness of the Longyou Guards in recent years. There is another point, which is actually more important.
According to the original plan, they should meet him in Huanzhou. Pingliang Prefecture dispatched 1,500 guards, but after arriving in Guyuan Prefecture, they stopped moving forward. In other words, the 6,000 men and horses that should be under his command were actually only 4,050 who arrived at Qingyang Mansion and Gongchang Mansion. Du She, who had a huge disparity in military strength originally, was even more lacking in troops. And among them, there were only 500 cavalry, and the rest were all infantry.
As a result, after the first battle, although Du She fought hard several times, he still came back defeated. Not only did he lose more than half of his 4,500 troops, he also lost a general. After being surrounded by Tuoba Jiqian, in order to cover Du She and the main force's breakout, he personally led five hundred cavalry to break the rear. He was once the youngest fourth-grade military attaché among the entire Longyou Guard Army and the only military envoy who could still fight. .
Zeng Tie, the military commander of Qingyang Prefecture, who had just returned from the border army discussion and less than half a year old, and his military commander Ma Zeyuan were both killed in battle. Since Qingyang was besieged for more than a month, Du She, who had only defended Qingyang with only two thousand defeated troops, had sent countless letters for help to Li Jiedu and the Pingliang Mansion closest to him. The only result is that there is no result.
Although Li Jiedu mobilized all the four thousand guards he could from various places. Almost all the guards in Longyou and various state capitals were mobilized. He also sent people to talk things over, and even moved out of his children's in-laws' home. Another thousand cavalry were borrowed from the defense ambassador of Longyou Army. But all these troops were left by him in Lintao Mansion, where the Longyou Road Administration Office was located.
Du She of Qingyang Prefecture looked forward to reinforcements as he looked forward to sweet rain after a long drought. But no matter how much the court urged, Du She asked for help in every possible way. I don't know whether it was because of greed for life and fear of death, or because my in-laws were the imperial envoys and had a strong backing behind them, but they refused to send any soldiers to the east. What makes people even more angry is that not only did they not send troops to rescue, they even blindly shifted the responsibility to Du She.
When I saw this guy, I just kowtowed and said that I was guilty, but didn't get down to business. Huang Qiong, who had already sent Zhang Qian to travel all night to Lintao Mansion to raid this guy's home. Stand up, get up from your chair. Turning his head, he looked at the high-hanging mirror in the Huanzhou Hall with four big characters hanging high, with his back to the generals in the hall.
He said in a voice as cold as ice: "Since you refuse to say it, then I will say it for you. First, when you were the military governor, as the highest military officer in the place, you only knew how to take advantage of injustice. He made a lot of money and accepted bribes to support his debauchery. As a result, the Longyou local guards who were originally capable of fighting were already in disrepair in a few years and lost all their combat effectiveness. "
"If I remember correctly, the military envoy in Pingliang Mansion who had never been afraid before and watched the friendly forces fight to the death was the one you trained as an envoy in a state regiment and was promoted in just a few years. As for Why do you promote this person who has been in the Ministry of War assessment for many years and has always been ranked C? It's just that after you took office, he gave you a batch of priceless jewels, worth a hundred thousand guan."
"Not to mention anything else, just because he sat back and watched the friendly forces fighting to the death without doing anything, it would not be an exaggeration for me to chop you two alive. Li Jiedu, since you have accepted his benefits, you have become a close friend of him. A grasshopper on a rope. He is guilty, and you can't even think about escaping. If you kill him, you won't be spared."
