"Disciple, please pay homage to Master."

Zhao Shu first accepted Wang Ning'an's courtesy, then paid homage to him, and then raised his head. He suddenly realized that his master, Wang Xianggong, who was originally handsome and elegant, had his eyes red, his eyes dark, and his face was covered with shallow stubble, looking vicissitudes and haggard.

The little prince couldn't help but feel heartbroken, "Master, you have suffered."

Wang Ning'an shook his head, "This is my duty, your highness, you shouldn't have come." Wang Ning'an was also very upset at this moment. During this period, all the messy things were entangled, and all the gods and immortals were scrambling.

To be honest, Wang Ning'an has some opinions about Uncle Zhao, but Wang Ning'an also knows that someone pretends to be a tiger's power, takes the feathers as a command arrow, and messes up the matter, and cannot completely blame Zhao Zhen.

When the prince is here, it is obvious to outsiders that they think that the emperor bows his head to him.

As a minister, he is so powerful that he can do so. How should he deal with himself next... There are countless examples in history books. Not to mention the distance, who doesn’t know how the Zhao family seized the throne?

No matter what, no matter how tacit understanding there is between the king and the minister, a deep crack appeared. Not only Zhao Zhen was suspicious of Wang Ning'an, but even Wang Ning'an himself had to think more... If he could remain indifferent, he would not be a normal person!

Fortunately, the prince came over. If Zhao Zhen issued an edict directly, or he would be even more out of control!

Seeing that the master was embarrassed, Zhao Shu thought, "Master, don't worry. My father sent his disciples to explain some misunderstandings to the master. The overall situation in the northwest requires the master to do his best. My father and his disciples all trust their master."

Wang Ning'an pondered for a moment and smiled.

Although the estrangement exists, it will obviously not break out immediately. The overall situation in the northwest, the overall situation of the court, the alternation of the old and new imperial power... Both Zhao Zhen and Wang Ning'an cannot afford the price of turning against each other.

Since that's the case, let's deal with the things in front of you first. As for the rest, let's talk about it when the battle is over!

"Thank you for your trust in the saint. It is because my uncle's constraints and the military rules are lax, so there is a big problem. I will write a letter to apologize."

Zhao Shu did not respond, but said: "Master, since the war in the northwest started, the information given to your father has not been the same as the information given to you. This time, the father hopes to attack Xingqing Mansion and make a concerted effort because of the instigation of the secret spy... In addition, the father did issue a secret decree, but this decree was for Zong Gu, so that they could cooperate with the imperial envoy to investigate, and there was no other meaning."

Zhao Shu was also guilty. What he meant was nothing else, and he should be careful about Wang Ning'an!

It doesn’t matter how you do this in secret. Once it is made clear, it will inevitably hurt your feelings.

But the current situation is not enough to be clear.

In just a few short sentences, the two biggest mysteries were explained clearly. Zhao Zhen’s misjudgment of the Northwest originated from the Secret Spies Division... The Secret Spies Division was formed by the emperor himself, and they all used eunuchs from the inner court. Logically speaking, they were Uncle Zhao’s confidants. How could these people cheat Uncle Zhao?

Is it because of his greed for merit or for another reason... Wang Ning'an didn't know what was going on for a while.

Another one is why the two imperial envoys were able to mobilize their troops!

The Zhong Family Army and Wang Ning'an have a good relationship, but as a local emperor, the Zhong Family Army is not a subordinate of Wang Ning'an. They have their own interests, and it is understandable to achieve a balance between the emperor and Wang Ning'an.

Of course, their behavior can be regarded as stepping on two boats, but Wang Ning'an had no intention of asking for full blame.

The most urgent task at the moment is to save people as soon as possible and never fall into the conspiracy of Xixia!

Wang Ning'an had already sent Di Qing to the north, and he could no longer follow him, so he had to let Liang Dagang lead 5,000 people to continue to go north to support him, and at the same time mobilized all forces to investigate the war in Lingzhou... Just when Wang Ning'an was worried and restless, Lingzhou had already decided to win.

Gao Zunyu and his 30,000 troops were wiped out.

Three types of people with remnants of defeated soldiers and retreated, from all directions, were full of Western Xia's life-capturing troops, endless.

At the most dangerous moment, Di Qing finally arrived with his men.

Di Qing took the lead and broke through the encirclement of Xixia, and three kinds of escape from death. It was so embarrassing to mention it.

"Grandpa Di, I will be guilty. Please punish me!"

"Forget it, let's talk about everything when you return to Hongzhou and see Wang Xianggong."

Di Qing glanced at it and asked hurriedly, "Where are the two imperial envoys? Where have they been?"

"This... Gao Zunyu has been killed. As for Eunuch Tan, he, he..."

As he was talking, several soldiers were covered in blood and drove a horse over, with a man tied to the horse's back. It was Tan Xian! This guy commanded randomly and brought the army to the Jedi. All the soldiers hated him.

Let him die, that's a bargain!

We must bring Tan Xian back to the northwest and hand it over to Wang Xianggong, and make it well to see what kind of abacus he is trying to make everyone so hard!

When Di Qing saw Tan Xian, he gritted his teeth.

OK, this culprit is left behind!

"Listen, please protect him well. If millions of people from Xixia are captured, don't let him die!"

"Abide by the order!"

Two hundred people were separated and looked at Tan Xian.

Di Qing greeted everyone and retreated quickly.

But at this moment, Liang Yimang had already received news that Di Qing had appeared.

This made Liang Yi very happy. He used the trick of betraying the surrender. He designed the trap to deal with Wang Ning'an, but Gao Zunyu came.

The specifications of catching a phoenix and killing a sparrow is really disappointing.

Fortunately, another peacock came, and it was enough to kill Di Qing to shake the spirit of Song Jun. At least he was much heavier than Wang De.

The people in Xixia seemed to be crazy, everywhere.

Di Qing's eyes also turned red. In any case, the Xixia people could not wipe out all of them.

Di Qing waved his horse spear and rushed in the front, with the brothers behind him closely following each other. No one of the soldiers and generals of Xixia could stop Di Qing's move. They rushed forward and could not even delay Di Qing's speed.

In this way, 20,000 troops protected the remaining defeated generals of the Zhong family army and quickly retreated south. They broke through layers of obstacles and stepped on the enemy's corpses, unstoppable.

Liang Yimang was furious when he heard that Di Qing broke through and left.

He also fought hard!

The Song army is sharp and Di Qing is good at fighting, but you are not iron men after all. It will take as soon as six or seven days to escape from Lingzhou to the Song Dynasty. I think you can always be so brave!

Liang Yimeng quickly changed his strategy. He divided his troops into three groups, like a poisonous snake, chasing the Song army from far and near. When they saw the Song army resting, eating, and drinking water, they rushed up.

When the Song army rushed to the road, they fell behind and often ran out to shoot cold arrows and play sneak attacks.

After only two days, Song Jun was exhausted.

Fortunately, Di Qing followed Wang Ning'an's advice and brought more war horses and dry food, but all the soldiers could only eat on the horse's back, and when they were sleepy, they could only take a nap on the horse's back. They had a string all day long, and their physical strength and energy were quickly consumed.

On the third day, someone ran and fell off the horse's back.

Di Qing had to order the brothers to tie themselves to the horse's back with ropes.

But that's true, facing the endless attacks of Xixia, the losses were still amazing.

The Zong family army has less than 10,000 people. Among the three, Zhong Yan was the worst injured and has fallen into a coma and must be pulled in a carriage.

Zhong Gu was hit by a flying axe in his chest and vomited blood, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

Only a kind of diagnosis is still a bit combat-effective, but it is extremely exhausted.

As for Di Qing's side, almost seven or eight thousand brothers died. Although they fought a lot of Xixia troops, the losses of both sides were not on the same level.

Di Qing's face looked very ugly. It can be said that the Song Dynasty has never lost so many people in the past ten years!

The emperor's thoughts were so different that the people below did something wrong, which caused such a great harm. It's really heartbreaking!

They ran for three days, and were trapped in the crowd. Although they were getting closer and closer to the Song Dynasty, everyone's heart was covered with shadow.

Xixia had just divided its troops into five groups to attack the Song army.

Di Zi directed his brothers and shot back the Xixia people with the divine arm crossbow.

However, in a hurry, the support was not good, and the arrows of the Divine Arm Crossbow were less than 30%. At most, the gunpowder and tincture oil were lost.

What's even more terrible is that the food and water are gone. If this continues, I really don't know what to do?

Zhong Gu, Zhong Diagnostic dragged his tired body to meet Di Qing.

"Grandpa Di, at this point, only our brothers stayed and blocked the people of Xixia. Grandpa Di was so grateful that he could bring his second brother back."

Zhong Gu said that he was excited and coughed twice, with blood in his phlegm.

Di Qing shook his head slightly, "General Zhong, Liang Yimai pursued him hard, he just wanted Di's life. Tomorrow, Di and his 3,000 people were behind the rear. You can retreat as soon as possible. With Di's ability, it is still possible to delay for one or two days. Mr. Wang will definitely arrange the people to receive, and you can retreat with confidence."

"No!"

Zhong Gu shook his head suddenly and coughed again.

"We believed the instigation of the castrated man and actually sent troops to earn money. Unexpectedly, after such an end, we would have the face to see Wang Xianggong? Even if we go back alive, we will inevitably be punished by the court. It would be better to die on the battlefield and come happily!"

Zhong Gu said sadly and angryly, and a soldier came to report, and the Xixia people came up again!

Di Qing was furious and broke his teeth, "What a group of poisonous snakes, I'll fight with them!" He gave his son Di Zi a look and asked him to protect the brothers of the Zong family to retreat, and Di Qing personally cut off the back.

This is the most cruel battle in Di Qing's life. The people in Xixia were like a tide, killing one wave, and another wave, endless, and even killing it.

His horse spear was broken, his saber was rolled up, and even the war horse reached its limit and fell to the ground... At this moment, Di Qing seemed extremely calm. Isn't it what he wanted for a real man to die in the battlefield?

It’s so happy to die!

At this moment, a group of black flags and bright armor suddenly appeared. As soon as they showed up, they scared the Xixia people and were in a mess!

Liang Dagang was a powerful general who started his career with Wang Liangjing, and Wang Ning'an also wanted to respect him and call him Uncle Gang. Liang Dagang fought his life, with cavalry like mountains and spears like forests, and he killed countless Xixia people. He rushed to the center and rescued Di Qing.

At this time, Di Qing had several wounds on his body, and arrows were inserted on his shoulders and thighs. Fortunately, the injury was not fatal!

Liang Dagang protected Di Qing and retreated. Two days later, they finally returned to Hongzhou... The 70,000 army was fled back, only 6,000 reinforcements, half of which were lost. Almost all the generals and soldiers who returned alive were injured... This loss was too heavy!
Chapter completed!
