One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 230 Song Army’s 2nd Northern Expedition (22)

That night, they came to Anci County and gathered together the remaining defeated generals. They only got about people.

Pharmacist Guo asked: "Where should we go, Liangxiang or Xiongzhou?"

Yang Keshi shook his head. He felt that this battle was fought in vain. He had neither the face nor the courage to go to Liangxiang to meet Liu Yanqing, and he did not dare to go to Xiongzhou to meet Tong Guan.

Pharmacist Guo said, "Let's go to Zhuozhou, which is my old territory and Zhang Linghui is currently stationed there. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Pharmacist Guo's heart was actually filled with sadness. He thought that he had proposed the plan to attack Yanjing this time, and now that it had failed, could Liu Yanqing not be held accountable? So he did not dare to go directly to Liangxiang to see Liu Yanqing. A good hometown is close and Zhuozhou is far away, but they would rather leave the near and go far away, because only Zhuozhou is relatively safe for them.

"Vice Commander, we brought back a man who was injured, but not dead." Huzi ran to report to Zhao Yunhui.

Zhao Yun asked: "Who was discovered when he came back?"

Huzi replied: "Judging from his clothes, he should be a general of the imperial army. We took advantage of the chaos and darkness to carry him back, and changed him into the clothes of a Liao soldier. We also brought back his original clothes. No one found out."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Okay, burn all his original clothes, as well as the clothes of the Liao soldiers, change him into common people's clothes, and then wash him with the liquor we brought from Hui'an." As for the wound, I will go to the doctor to see him tomorrow."

Huzi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, deputy commander."

At the same time, Niu San also returned to Liang Mansion. Liang Xing saw Niu San coming back and asked: "How is the situation outside?"

Niu San replied: "Except for a few Song soldiers who escaped, most of them died in the battle."

Liang Xing nodded and said, "Well, how's it going with the deputy commander?"

Niu San took a sip of water and said, "The deputy commander's people rescued a general from the imperial court. They were fine at the beginning, but on their way back, some clues were discovered, but they were all solved by our people."

Liang Xing nodded and said: "That's good, there won't be any loopholes left."

Niu San recalled the process and said, "No loopholes were left."

The next day, Yanjing City returned to its former peace, but the bloodstains of corpses on the streets had not yet been cleaned up.

Zhao Yun found a Han doctor early in the morning to treat the Song army general who had been rescued at night. While the doctor was looking at the doctor, Zhao Yun said: "Mr. Liu, you have to give Brother X a good look. Brother X was with me yesterday because of a trivial matter. Those hateful Song troops had a conflict, and then they were cut down like this."

Dr. Liu looked at the wound and took his pulse and said, "Your brother is also very lucky. The wounds are not in critical parts. However, his head is a little warm, and he seems to be infected with wind and cold."

Zhao Yun was surprised and said: "Can brother Fenghan still be saved?"

Liu Langzhong said: "Your brother is quite strong and has a strong pulse. He can be cured but not dead. I will give you two prescriptions. You go to the drugstore to grab a few pills and take them internally or externally. You will be able to walk in a few days. Yes, but if you want to get better, you need to cultivate yourself for a while."

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."

Doctor Liu wrote the prescription and gave it to Zhao Yun before leaving. After Doctor Liu left, Zhao Yun ordered: "Huzi, send a few people to follow this doctor and see what he does these days. If anything happens, you know what to do."

Huzi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, deputy commander."

The injured general woke up in the afternoon after drinking a dose of medicine. When he woke up, he saw Zhao Yun and said, "Where is this?"

Zhao Yun replied: "This is Yanjing, we rescued you from the battlefield."

The general wanted to get up but couldn't. Zhao Yun pressed him down and said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so just lie down and recuperate."

The general asked: "Where are my brothers?"

Zhao Yun sighed: "Except for a few hundred people of the Song army who entered the city who escaped, everyone else died."

The general was silent for a while and said, "Thank you for saving me."

Zhao Yun said: "You're welcome. By the way, what's your name? My name is Zhao Yun."

The general replied: "My name is Wang Qi."

Zhao Yun asked again: "Whose general is General Wang?"

Wang Qi was silent. Zhao Yun saw that he was silent and said: "General Wang, don't think too much. I just want to know who else will lead you to attack Yanjing this time besides Guo Yaoshi. This is a good idea. Take advantage of the main force of the Liao army." No surprise attack on Yanjing. It's a pity that your arrangement is too stupid. You don't even have anyone to respond. Do you think you can take over Yanjing City with just a few thousand of you? Also, your military discipline is so bad. After entering the city, there is no reason. There are also Xi people who are burning, killing, and looting the Khitans. There are hundreds of thousands of Khitans and Xi people in Yanjing City. You are not asking for your own death."

Wang Qi blushed in shame and said: "I admit that our military discipline is poor, but it's not that our General Yang Keshi didn't arrange for someone to respond. When he entered the city, he had arranged for General Zhao Heshou to lead a thousand people to ambush outside the Yingchun Gate. It's just that Later, I didn’t know where he went. Also, before we set out to attack Yanjing, General Yang and General Guo had already agreed with Liu Yanqing and his son that they would send troops to respond after we entered the city, but in the end we did not Wait for any reinforcements to arrive.”

Zhao Yun asked back: "Since everything has been arranged, why didn't they come? I heard that the Liao army did not have many troops at Lugou River, with a maximum of people. You have an army of people. You are just fighting for consumption." It can also destroy the Liao army."

Wang Qi said thoughtfully: "It should be because our General Yang had a conflict with Liu Yanqing's son Liu Guangshi some time ago, and our General Yang usually doesn't have a good relationship with Liu Yanqing and his son."

Zhao Yun slapped the table and said angrily: "Hmph, the enemy is still deposing public affairs for personal reasons. Liu Yanqing and his son should be killed."

Wang Qi asked: "From what Brother Zhao said, you are not from Liao."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Since I saved you, I won't hide it from you. We are indeed not from Liao, but we have lived in Yanjing for more than three years. It is more accurate to say that we are secret spies."

Wang Qi said in surprise: "Then you are spies sent by the imperial court. Why didn't you contact us in advance?"

Zhao Yun said thoughtfully: "Yes and no."

Wang Qi wondered: "Brother Zhao, how can you say this?"

Zhao Yun said: "We are not spies sent out with the approval of the current officials. We are spies sent privately by an official of the imperial court, so we will not contact you in advance. As an official of the imperial court, General Wang should know that What’s the crime in doing such a thing?”

Wang Qi nodded and said: "I know, this is a serious crime of decapitation, so why do you want to save so-and-so? You are not afraid that so-and-so will report on you when he recovers?"
