My country is dead again [Rebirth]

He Xiaoman came to Chizhou with Song Qingge. At first they stopped near Wuzhou. Everyone thought that Song Qingge was going to fight Xu Zishen in Wuzhou. This was the safest and most reasonable tactic.

However, He Xiaoman gradually discovered that Song Qingge's heart was not in Wuzhou at all, and Wuzhou's defenses did not mean to be strengthened. He asked Song Qingge, and he said that he wanted to raid Minzhou.

He Xiaoman doesn't understand warfare, so he doesn't want to get involved in the battle plan, but he also knows that this is a dangerous move, and if he is not careful, he may never return.

After several trials, He Xiaoman realized that Song Qingge's attitude was firm and he had to go. He also understood that in the end it was the fault of lack of money. Song Qingge needed an absolute victory to make a deal with the imperial court. Wuzhou couldn't help the Song family, so he took the risk It may be feasible to go to Minzhou.

He Xiaoman dissuaded Song Qingge more than once, especially with Xie Ruzhuo's instructions before him. He dared not be careless, and told Song Qingge that he could find a way about money, and he would ask the court to come no matter what.

Song Qingge shook his head, bluntly saying that this is the Song family's own business, only the Song family can solve it, and the water is deep, and he doesn't want to drag others into the water.

He Xiaoman was depressed. Both Song Qingge and Song Qinglai regarded him as an outsider. It was one thing not to want him to get involved and not to harm him, but it was true to be on guard against him.

When Song Qingge decided to leave Xuanyi Mansion, He Xiaoman's eyelids kept twitching. He tried hard to persuade him again and analyzed the pros and cons, but Song Qingge was determined. This time for the Song family, Song Qingge did go all out.

Of course, Song Qingge has the final say in the army. Before the expedition, the imperial court will not even intervene in the general's battle plan. After all, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one is sure what will happen. Moreover, Shen Ci and Song Qingge's strengths are very assured. I don't want to interfere with their decisions too much, and I hope to give them the greatest room for flexibility.

Therefore, Song Qingge submitted two sets of combat plans to the imperial court before the expedition. One was to settle in Wuzhou, defend first and then attack slowly. The set of plans should be determined according to the changes in the battle situation. Xie Ruzhuo didn't say anything about it at the time, but only told Song Qingge to be careful and not to rush forward.

But almost everyone is inclined that Song Qingge will choose to settle in Wuzhou. This is the plan that best suits his combat style. Overall, it is also the safest way. Every time, under Xu Zishen's nose, the sword took a slant.

He Xiaoman guessed that someone persuaded Song Qingge to choose this plan. Song Qingge was like this. His childhood experience destined him to be an overly cautious person, but he couldn't hide that little impulse in his bones. Someone told him clearly about the interests and tradeoffs. Then his rigid trajectory would deviate.

When Shen Ci went south to save Xie Mingting for the first time, that was how Shen Ci persuaded Song Qingge to agree that he would take some of them to fight for his life.

Thinking about it this way, He Xiaoman sighed again. He can only say that Song Qingge was not born to be the person he is now. Maybe he was a person like Shen Ci in the past, or he was flamboyant and unrestrained like Song Qinglai. He forged this restrained knife, calm and rigid.

The person who persuaded Song Qingge, He Xiaoman also guessed that it was probably Song Qinglai. Song Qingge is such a cautious person, he is somewhat on guard against everyone, but he has no defense against his younger brother, and he believes everything he says.

It was night now, Song Qingge led [-] soldiers and horses to stop in the valley between Wuzhou and Minzhou during the night, and temporarily set up camp. He Xiaoman couldn't sleep, so he went out of the camp and saw that Song Qingge's tent was still lit, so he left past.

Looking at the situation in the camp on the way, Song Qingge might want to attack at night, and he will go to the city of Minzhou soon. He Xiaoman's heart sank, and he became more and more anxious. He opened the curtain to see Song Qingge sitting at the table wiping his knife. nodded.

"Song Zongbing, I see soldiers are being counted outside, and they are going to Minzhou soon?" He Xiaoman said in a low voice, "I know I shouldn't interfere with your decision, and it's not that I don't believe you, but I want to ask , who told you to go to Minzhou first?"

Song Qingge raised his eyes and looked over lightly, and replied: "No matter who told me before, I am the one who makes the final decision. Governor, don't worry, no one is forcing me, I want to go."

Of course He Xiaoman knew that no one was forcing him, but it was not certain whether someone would lie to him, and He Xiaoman couldn't care less, and said directly: "Qinglai told you, right? Qinglai couldn't possibly think so much, he never How did you know?" He Xiaoman looked at him with blazing eyes, "It's Hua Yangjiao, right?"

In Song Qingge's eyes, He Xiaoman's pressing questions made people very uncomfortable. He took it for granted that He Xiaoman was asking for Xie Ruzhuo, and his voice turned cold unconsciously: "It seems that the governor doesn't need to worry about it."

"If Hua Yangjiao said it, you must not go!" He Xiaoman propped his hands on the table and said eagerly, "I won't hide it from you. Before the army set off, His Majesty has been checking Huayangjiao and suspecting Huayangjiao. If you have a different heart, would you dare to listen to the words of such a person, Song Zongbing?"

Song Qingge looked back at him indifferently: "Then, did your Majesty find out anything?"

He Xiaoman was dumbfounded, when he left Beijing, Xie Ruzhuo really did not find out anything, he had no way of knowing what happened after leaving Beijing, even if there was new news, he had to wait for Beijing to send it.

Seeing his silence, Song Qingge smiled, and said: "Your Majesty has used Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but found nothing. Superintendent, tell me, is it Hua Yangjiao's words that shouldn't be listened to, or your words that shouldn't be listened to?"

Song Qingge's brows and eyes are originally gentle and gentle, like a scholar, and he usually has a sense of sharpness without anger and prestige when he is unsmiling, but once he smiles, the sharpness will disappear again, but he seldom smiles, but why at this time Xiaoman looked at his smile, but felt a sharper coldness.

"Song Zongbing, His Majesty will not harm you. On the contrary, he needs you very much and is willing to trust you, and I will not harm you." He Xiaoman closed his eyes, "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has never investigated any of his subjects with great fanfare. , he is not someone who is suspicious randomly, and his doubts about Hua Yangjiao are definitely not groundless."

Song Qingge was silent for a moment, and said: "I believe Your Majesty has his own judgment, but similarly, I also have my own judgment on this matter. I have sent scouts to explore the vicinity of Minzhou many times. Xu Zishen did not press down there heavily. There are only ordinary defenders. It is not difficult to see that Xu Zishen intends to stay in Wuzhou these days. For me, I have two ways to go safe and risky. It is also true for Xu Zishen. If he chooses safe, he is in Minzhou When I go to fight, I can go north if I lose. But he knows me very well and knows that it is basically impossible for me to take the road of Minzhou, so he naturally chooses to fight Wuzhou, and this is also in line with his style. Being in a passive position, I like to take the initiative, attack and advance quickly, and control the enemy with one move. So no matter how you look at it, going to Minzhou first is not an absurd move. I have thought carefully and made many detailed plans, and I did not act impulsively. "

He Xiaoman curled up his fingers, not knowing how else to persuade him, he could only say tiredly: "Your Majesty asked me to follow you this time because I was worried about you, and I also promised that Qinglai will make you safe. Even for Qinglai, for the Song family ...can we choose the safer way?"

"Thank you Governor, I will be careful." Song Qingge's voice calmed down, "But I have made sufficient preparations for going to Minzhou. The news of my leaving Wuzhou should be on the way to Xu Zishen by now, and it is too late to regret it. If you turn around now, you will run into Xu Zishen on the way, and the hasty battle will not be worth the loss, so please stop trying to persuade me, Governor."

He Xiaoman also knew that the deal was done, and the moment they left Xuanyi Mansion, they could not change it. This is why Song Qingge wanted him to stay behind Wuzhou and he insisted on following. Follow Song Qingge.

Just in case, when he left Xuanyi Mansion, he secretly delivered letters to Jingzhong and Dianzhou, clarifying Song Qingge's plan, one to Xie Ruzhuo, one to Shen Ci, Xie Ruzhuo before leaving Beijing I told him that if something happened, you can find Shen Ci first. Dianzhou is not far away, which is much more convenient than Beijing.

"The night attack is dangerous, so the governor doesn't have to go. It's good to guard our food and luggage here." Song Qingge smiled again, "And I can't take care of the governor when I get to the front line. If something happens, Qinglai may never recognize me as a brother again."

He Xiaoman blushed, bit his lips, said "General Song will leave after rest", and fled in despair.

It is true that the supervising army of the imperial court only sits in the rear, and will not go to the front line, because the supervising army does not know how to fight, and it will be a burden if it goes to the battlefield. Naturally, he would not drag Song Qingge down.

In the middle of the night, He Xiaoman was lying on his back on the rough bed, and he heard the sound of horns and horseshoes outside. Song Qingge gave an order, and [-] soldiers and horses followed him out of the camp and went straight to Minzhou.

He Xiaoman kept his eyes open, his heart fluttered, and his eyelids began to twitch again. Finally, he sat up from the bed, lit the candles again, and looked at the hourglass. It's about to light up.

He rubbed his eyelids, trying to stop the endless beating, but the tent was suddenly lifted, it was the Dongchang fan who followed him, and his voice changed a little because of anxiety: "Master Du! Come from Beijing!" Someone, something happened!"

The candle was shaken by the wind outside the tent, He Xiaoman's eyelids finally stopped twitching, but his heart sank to the bottom, his whole body was cold, when he regained consciousness, the tent was opened again, and two travel-worn servants came in, still panting The angry Dongchang fanzi knelt down on the ground with a plop when he saw him, and said, "Master, Hua Yangjiao's rebellion is true. Your Majesty wants us to come to you quickly, and we can't let Zongbing Song go to Minzhou!"

He Xiaoman was ready, but his vision was still dark, he staggered and almost passed out, and murmured: "It's too late... Now there is a fight outside Minzhou City..."

The Dongchang fan handed him the letter written by Xie Ruzhuo, and He Xiaoman took it with shaking hands. After reading it quickly, he took a few breaths, rushed out of the camp, and found the lieutenant who was staying at the camp, almost grabbing the lieutenant's clothes The leader said: "Take people to Minzhou to find Song Zongbing immediately, and persuade him to retreat! Hua Yangjiao has been proven to be collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the plan to attack Minzhou is a trap! Go!"

The lieutenant general was so shocked that his face turned pale, he snatched the letter from He Xiaoman's hand and read it, without a moment's delay, he turned around and went to regroup the army, and rushed out with thousands of people in a short while, rushing to find Song Qingge.

Xu Zishen, who was dozens of miles away, was still near Wuzhou. He received a secret letter from Pingdu two days ago, telling him that Song Qingge would go to Minzhou. This was reliable news from inside Dayu.

This is the third time he has said this to him. The Jiangbei family said that when he was on the expedition, but he has been ignoring it.

He guessed that the Jiangbei family secretly hooked up with Dayu's officials behind his back and got some secrets. He naturally scoffed at this kind of behavior, and he couldn't believe that Song Qingge would choose to take risks.

On the same day Xu Zishen threw the letter aside again, but the next day scouts came to report that the Jiangbei family had transferred [-] troops from the Beijing camp with the help of the prince, and they had secretly gone to Minzhou in batches to lay a net.

Xu Zishen was so angry that his eyes were burning, and he sent half of the troops to Dianzhou to fight Shen Ci as originally planned, and left Wuzhou with the remaining half to go to Minzhou.

He is already convinced that this is the trap set by the Jiangbei family against Song Qingge, to make Song Qingge go to Minzhou without returning. Most of them are from the Jiangbei family, and it is easy to transfer the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp with the help of the prince behind his back.

Last year, because of King Yan's sudden entry into Jiangbei, he had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Jiangbei family. Later, after he returned to Beijing, he used thunderous tactics to deal with several small families. to the bone.

This time I want to do this to demonstrate to him, telling him that the prince has been held in their hands, and he can do whatever he wants, and the Jiangbei Army is not his own Jiangbei Army, let alone they use their own methods to easily After winning a battle, they will have more confidence to fight against him in the future. Secondly, they are also fighting back against the old officials in Pingdu. If they can win the battle of Minzhou and destroy the Wanyang Song family in Dayu, there is no doubt It is a feat worthy of being praised by thousands of people for thousands of years, and it can severely dampen the arrogance of the old officials in Pingdu.

But Xu Zishen didn't expect, and neither did He Xiaoman, they were all one step too late.

There was a night of bloody battle outside the city of Minzhou. Just after the hour, the scouts sent by Xu Zishen came back to report that Song Qingge's army had retreated, and the Jiangbei army was celebrating the victory.

The lieutenant general who rushed to find Song Qingge came back and told He Xiaoman that during the scuffle Song Qingge led a group of soldiers and horses and disappeared, and news was released from the city that Song Qingge had rebelled.
