Chapter 477: Kneeling for three days

Wei Mingrenming retreated, heavy snow has arrived, and the strong city is like iron, so what can I do if I don’t retreat?

Siege is a war of attrition, but now the more the enemy consumes, what can you do?

The only mistake was that Wei Mingrenming and Shu Wang Renli wanted to kill Zheng Zhi too much. When Zheng Zhi came, he immediately came out. If Wei Mingrenming was not so anxious and left, the city would not last for three or five days.

Zheng Zhi had more than 10,000 people and more than 3,000 cavalry, how could he dare to easily violate the power of 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry? With a 30,000 Dangxiang cavalry standing in front of Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi would definitely not dare to move around and could take down the city calmly.

The old hatred is too deep, what can I do if I do?

The snow fell, and the army was already short of food. Fortunately, there were countless extra horses in the army, and it was winter again. A horse could fill many people and fresh meat could be stored for a long time.

The walls of Lingzhou City are under emergency repair, and rammed earth and stones are constantly transported to the walls.

Wei Mingrenming was wandering around the top of the city, very anxious inside. He looked at the south city and then went to the west city to see it.

The south city is the direction from the Song army, and the west is naturally the direction from the Xixia country.

Wei Mingrenming only hopes that the Song army will come later, and also hopes that good news will come to the west.

After waiting for more than ten days, the Song army had not arrived yet. The news from the west came first, the emperor was captured and the country was not as strong as the country.

Wei Mingrenming was holding a letter in his hand, and even Pu Wang Renzhong and Shu Wang Renli were killed in front of Zheng Zhi's formation. Wei Mingrenming's face was pale as snow.

"Come, go to the Great Liao Dynasty to ask for envoys." Wei Mingrenming was at a loss and helpless. The first thing he thought of was the Liao Kingdom. The envoys of the Liao Kingdom have always had great say. Now that the emperor is captured, he is also in a dilemma. At this time, there is no other way except to ask the Liao people to mediate.

An old general said, "Master, the Liao people are afraid... Now the savage Jurchens rebelled and rebelled, and even went to Kyoto to be besieged by the Liao people. I heard that the Liao emperors have all gone to the south, but I am afraid..."

Wei Mingrenming frowned even more when he heard this, and after a moment he spoke: "The rebellion is only temporary. Now that the Liao people do not help me in Daxia, the Song people will definitely become big. How can the Liao people sit still? Send people quickly and go to the Xijing of Liao first. If the Liao emperor goes south and temporarily avoids it, he must have gone to Xijing (Datong)."

I don’t know whether Wei Mingrenming really doesn’t know the power of the Jurchens or comforts himself. Even if the Liao Kingdom was besieged in Kyoto, how could the rebellion be temporarily?

The old general didn't say much. Obviously, he didn't know much about the Liao Kingdom, and the Jurchens were just a word. He had to nod and do it.

Zheng Zhi was on the way to Huizhou in Lanzhou, and it was only a few hundred miles away.

Everyone in Xincheng was waiting for Zheng Zhi to come back. After Liu Fa passed away, the generals of soldiers still rushed from all directions, gathering more and more, exceeding 40,000. Especially after Dangxiang withdrew his troops, some soldiers who were originally guarding the border prefectures all came to Huizhou. Now it is time to turn to defense to offense.

The city had just received the news that Zheng Zhi had won a great victory, and he had brought Emperor Dangxiang back. Such an exciting thing was that the city was already full of singing and dancing celebrations, and he had eaten wine and meat several times.

Wanyan Aguda was besieging the Liao Kingdom Shangjing. Shangjing was not far from the southern foot of the Greater Xing'an Mountains. The Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi didn't know if he was still in Shangjing. There was news that Yelu Yanxi had fled south.

Wanyan Aguda couldn't care about these things. As long as the capital was broken, the Liao people would lose their ancestral land, and the Khitans would basically have no major power outside the pass. If Zhongjing was broken again, the Liao Kingdom would have only the land of Yanyun. Then there was the grassland in the west of Mongolia.

The Liao Kingdom seemed to have a vast territory and strong national strength. However, the Liao Kingdom also had a problem, and its control over the grassland was too small. During its heyday, all tribes on the grassland surrendered, but these tribes were only nominal obedience and did not serve the Liao Kingdom.

When the Liao Kingdom is weak, these tribes will not work hard for the Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom can truly conquer the grassland through force and implement effective management and control when its military power is strong, the Jurchens will definitely not succeed easily. Hundreds of thousands of grassland troops rushed into Liaodong to fight, how could the Jurchens wait to stop it?

At this time, the grassland had not really appeared. If the Liao Kingdom could really sweep the army in the middle, without the Tiemuzhen grassland, there would be no Khitan army. The Khitans had an advantage, and the Khitans were also nomadic people. They made their fortune in the Daxinganling Mountains and went from the west to sweep the grasslands. Just like Teemuzhen unified Mongolia.

Everything is a story later. The grassland tribes cannot be truly used by the Liao Kingdom for two hundred years. After Tanyuan, the south is peaceful for a hundred years. It is a pity that the Liao people did nothing on the grassland.

Zheng Zhi finally arrived at Huizhou New City. Liu Fa was dead, his body had been put into the coffin and had not been buried.

Zheng Zhi paid some sacrifices and sat down on the mourning hall set up in the big tent, saying, "Mr. Liu, Ye Luo returns to his roots, and send someone to send the coffin to Pingxia for funeral."

Liu Zhengyan bowed and replied, "Mr. Zheng, my father was determined to destroy Dangxiang during his lifetime. Now that the war is not yet decided, the general of the last general took his father to fight, defeated Dangxiang in Lingzhou, and then buried him in Lingzhou City. Lingzhou was originally a Han area, and the general of the last general requested himself to guard Lingzhou for generations, and decided not to teach foreigners to go out of the desert again!"

Liu Zhengyan's words were not much sad, but only a passionate and father was the leader of the son, which was the truth.

Zheng Zhi was quite moved when he heard this and said, "Okay, let's take Mr. Liu to the battle together, let's see that our juniors fulfilled his long-cherished wish for him."

Liu Zhengyan answered, "Thank you for your conscience."

A loyal and good general like Liu Fa defended his country for the rest of his life, and he died in history, representing the most noble ideals and honors of soldiers. Zheng Zhi looked back at the big words on the tablet and said, "Come on, bring the Dangxiang royal family to Mr. Liu to kowtow!"

The left and right generals left and left, and there was no time to bring in more than a dozen men of Dangxiang, and one of them was Li Qianshun.

Zheng Zhi stood up and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, my Song Dynasty veteran Liu Fa has just passed away. We should pay some mourning. Then he asked His Majesty the Emperor to kneel down here for three days to show his sorrow."

When Li Qianshun heard this, he looked back at the dozen people behind him, turned around and replied, "General Liu is famous, and I often hear it, so I should pay tribute."

After saying that, Li Qianshun stepped forward and was the first to kneel down on the ground. Such a great humiliation was really done for an emperor. The many military generals present were stunned, and even thinking that even if the emperor was captured, he should be given a gift to Bianliang for treatment. Emperor Zhao Ji would not let him die. Even the late lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu and Zhao Kuangyin were just imprisoned.

However, it was unexpected that the emperor could bow his head and promise to kneel down here for three days.

Perhaps Li Ganshun knew in his heart that if he refused, how could his sons and grandsons bear the heart of his sons and grandsons? The head of Renzhong and Renli is still vivid in his mind.

Zheng Zhi nodded after hearing this and said, "Congratulations is a feeling of sadness, and we need to hear it and cry."

"It should be so!" Li Ganshun replied softly, his lowered head and gritted his teeth.

Zheng Zhi nodded and left.

Liu Zhengyan hurriedly followed him out, and the man with a bean-sized man in his eyes fell down. He ran to Zheng Zhi a few steps, bowed down and said, "Thank you for your kindness. If Emperor Dangxiang bows like this, my father will definitely be smiling and at ease. Thank you!"

Zheng Zhi hurriedly went up to help Liu Zhengyan up and said, "Young Master Liu doesn't have to do this. Old Master Liu has been in a sea of ​​blood for the rest of his life. Now that the Dangxiang has been destroyed, only one Li Renming is left to survive. This emperor deserves to apologize here!"

However, Liu Zhengyan did not stand up with Zheng Zhi, but insisted on kneeling on the ground and said, "My husband, I have given me instructions. My Liu family will definitely help me in Qin Feng's place, and I dare not say anything! I will pay great kindness to you again."

In this life, what a person can live is reputation and dignity. Liu Fa has a few more lines in poetry and books, and Liu Zhengyan has a few more lines in history books. However, with this worship, there should be a general record above history books.

The Liu family was in China and became famous. When Emperor Dangxiang bowed, the northwest family was one of them.

Zheng Zhi tried his best to help him, and said, "You and I are in the northwest, and we are in the same fate in front of the formation. The war is not yet decided, so please bring the Liu family's children to the battle and pacify the Xixia Dangxiang."

"Abide by the order of my grandfather, I will not dare to humiliate the reputation of my ancestors. I will never regret death before the formation!" Liu Zhengyan's words were sonorous and powerful.

Originally, Zheng Zhi used "Suang Gong Zheng", but this passage was all "Suang Gong". Zheng Zhi did not think too much, nor did he have any extra thoughts, but just to express his respect for Liu Fa as a soldier. What he did not expect was unexpected.

There is no special schoolyard in the new city, but there are large open spaces. On the open space, more than 40,000 people gathered together, and more than 5,000 cavalrymen were there.

Zheng Zhi had been rushing for a long time and returned to the simple general platform. The people sitting on the stage were all high-ranking people, so he could only bear the brunt of the fight.

"Zhexiong, during this Northern Expedition, my husband still needs to worry about food and money. Time is too late, so please send someone to urge me." Zheng Zhi was also anxious. The 40,000 troops went north, and there was no supply in the north at all. All the food and grass must be transported from Qin Fengxi River Lanhuang and other places. This process is really difficult to wait.

Zhe Ke beg to stand up and answered, "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng, has sent several troops to urge him, and they all have a reply letter, and they can be opened within five days."

"I would like to thank you for your grandfather Zhe," Zheng Zhi said politely. In terms of seniority, in this northwest, Zheng Zhi's qualifications and seniority are far different. Not to mention the two of the Zhong family, even the Zhe Keqiu in front of him is not comparable to Zheng Zhi. Although he was the emperor's destiny to fight against the northwest, Zheng Zhi also paid much attention to these etiquette matters.

Zhe Keqiu heard Zheng Zhi's words of thanks and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zheng, I want to say thank you, I also want to thank you for your kindness in helping you. Under the city gate, if it weren't for your gunpowder from Zheng, how could I sit here? Thank you for your kindness in helping you."

Zhe Keqiu and others, including Zhong Shidao Liu Fa, called Zheng Zhi directly, and that was Zheng Zhi the commander of the Four Prefectures. Liu Fa said, "Zheng Zhi is here."

Now, this Zhe Keqiu also calls it "Zheng Gong", which is obviously thankful and respect from the heart. In this world, if a person wants to gain the respect of others, his strength is the first priority. Zheng Zhi captured Li Gan Shun and returned from more than two thousand miles away. Who else can compare with this Song Dynasty?

"My dear Zhe is so bad that I dare not accept the gift. My dear husband sits quickly and sits quickly." The voice of Zhe Ke asked for thanks was naturally accompanied by bowing. Zheng Zhi hurriedly replied to the gift and bowed to him.
