056. The End of the Traitor (Part 2)(1/2)
At this moment, he just wanted to find a ship to leave Benzhou Island quickly. He knew that if he led his army to attack the island, Emperor Song would not even give him the chance to surrender.
But he was staggering and running, but someone suddenly kicked him to the ground next to him, and then his neck was blocked by a sword.
Ge Lijun was shocked and saw that he was his military advisor, and shouted, "What are you doing?"
The military advisor Triangle's eyes were full of ruthlessness, "Sir, if you don't die, we can't live."
When Ge Lijun's personal army next to him saw it, he immediately wanted to kill the military advisor, but was caught by the Feitian Army behind him. He didn't care about these things and hurriedly ran away again.
Ge Jun had never seen such a scene before and was so scared that he collapsed to the ground.
In just a moment, Ge Lijun was surrounded by Liu Hongyi and hundreds of soldiers.
The military advisor smiled flatteringly, "General Liu, this traitor, Ge Lijun, I will capture you."
Liu Hongyi didn't say anything, and suddenly waved the sword in his hand, chopping the military advisor's head to the ground, "A villain who sells his owner for honor!"
He had long seen this military advisor who was treacherous and could only flatter and flatter.
Ge Lijun's heart was ashamed and sat down on the ground.
Liu Hongyi put a big knife on his neck, and the weight of dozens of pounds instantly made Ge Lijun, who was exhausted physically and mentally flushed, "Where is my wife now?"
Ge Lijun suddenly realized that he was crazy about gaining and losing his heart, and suddenly murmured, "Shi... is life..."
Liu Hongyi shouted coldly: "You are plotting against the enemy, and the law of heaven cannot tolerate it. The defeat is decided early. What qualifications are you qualified to sigh at the time of fate!"
Ge Lijun said, "The Southern Song Dynasty is corrupt and weak, and it is the general trend that I surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty. I should have captured the Emperor of Song and made a great success. However, you pedantic people ruined my major affairs. Haha, you short-sighted people, kill me Ge Lijun today, and will be annihilated by the Yuan army sooner or later."
Liu Hongyi was furious and stared at the tiger's eyes, "It's really stubborn, I'll ask you, where is my wife!"
Ge Lijun laughed, "She has been killed by me."
"ah……"
Liu Hongyi could no longer help but feel resentful and swung his sword to the ground.
Ge Lijun, the governor of Leizhou, died here.
Ge Jun was so scared that he cried loudly begging for mercy, "General Liu, let me go, let me go..."
Liu Hongyi had a huge hatred for Ge Lijun, but he would not spare him. Another knife was used to kill Ge Jun on the spot.
Then he knelt down towards Leizhou and cried, "Hui'er... your revenge, my husband has avenged you."
A man doesn't cry easily, but Liu Hongyi cried like a child at this time.
The soldiers of the Feitian Army beside him watched Liu Hongyi like this, and hatred came to his heart again, screaming and chasing the mighty army.
The mighty army had long disintegrated and fled everywhere at this time.
It was not until this time that Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng received a scout report and learned that a large army was rushing towards the palace at the foot of the mountain.
The two hurried to Ge Li Junshuo's tent and wanted to ask about the situation, but where could they see Ge Li Jun?
In an instant, both of them changed their faces. After exchanging their eyes, they hurried back to the camp, and then led the remaining army to run down the mountain.
The drums suddenly stopped.
The Yuan army, which was still fighting bloody in the city, suddenly couldn't hear the drums, and they were all stunned and panicked.
Soon, Wen Tianxiang led an army of 20,000 to the outside of the palace. Seeing piles of corpses outside the city, he hurriedly led his army into the city.
The Yuan army and the Leizhou army were immediately attacked from both sides. Before noon, they were dead and surrendered.
The smell of blood was overwhelming, the black smoke was still rolling, and the inside and outside of the palace were full of devastation.
But the soldiers cheered endlessly, and the red flags were swaying everywhere in the palace, and the emperor's voice resounded throughout the palace.
On the cliff, Zhao Dongting stood in the wind, and all the ministers knelt down on the ground, calling him Shengming. They learned that Zhao Dongting had sent superstitious Xuan Wen Tianxiang to serve the king earlier, and they were very impressed by Zhao Dongting.
Zhao Dongting looked into the palace from afar, looked at the red soldiers cheering, and closed his eyes slightly.
At this moment, he was not just fighting for his life.
He completely took himself into the role of the Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, no longer thinking about being sensual, slutty, and sleeping together, but fighting for this country and for countless civilians who shouted to support the Song Dynasty.
The sea breeze blew slowly, as if with the shouts of countless people, calling him Zhao Dongting to fight against Yuan and restore the Song Dynasty.
The will condensed by those dead souls who were bloody on the battlefield were poured into him at this moment.
At this moment, Zhao Dongting's weak body, which had not yet grown, fell into the eyes of the court officials, but was so majestic.
Soon, Wen Tianxiang led dozens of personal guards to arrive hurriedly.
At this time, Wen Tianxiang was forty-three years old, with short beards on his chin, as elegant as jade. When he saw Zhao Dongting, he bowed and said, "My dear Wen Tianxiang, I bowed to the emperor."
Zhao Dongting opened his eyes and saw the historical celebrity. He hurriedly went up to help him up and said, "Prime Minister Wen, please give up the gift."
He has never seen Wen Tianxiang, but the one who can leave behind such poems as "No one has ever died in life since ancient times, but he will leave his loyalty to shine in history." He is definitely a loyal and brave man.
Wen Tianxiang couldn't afford it and said, "I came late to save the emperor, so I would like to punish him."
"Where is this?"
Zhao Dongting chuckled and said, "The Prime Minister is coming just the right time."
Finally, he asked again: "By the way, how about Leizhou?"
Wen Tianxiang replied: "After receiving the emperor's secret order, I hurriedly led my army from Huizhou to recruit the defenders of various counties along the coast of Leizhou last night. Now 10,000 soldiers are left to guard Haikang County."
"good!"
Zhao Dongting couldn't help but clap again, "Prime Minister Wen has made great contributions to my Song Dynasty this time, and I will reward you very much."
Wen Tianxiang said: "It is all the merits of the soldiers, and I am ashamed of them."
"Everyone will be rewarded, everybody will be rewarded."
Zhao Dongting smiled and pulled Wen Tianxiang up, held his hand and said, "Let's go, the Prime Minister follow me to the Political Affairs Hall!"
Wen Tianxiang was moved when he saw the emperor being so close to him, and almost burst into tears.
His encounters in the Southern Song Dynasty were extremely tortuous. He served in Lin'an when Emperor Gong of Song Dynasty Zhao Xian was reigned.
At that time, Empress Dowager Xie was in charge of the government, and it was Wen Tianxiang who proposed to confer the title of King Ji Zhao Ying as King Yi, and the position of King Fuzhou, King Xin Zhao Bing as King Guang, and the position of Quanzhou. Only then could the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty retain these two bloodlines. Otherwise, there would not be the current Zhao Dongting.
But later, Empress Dowager Xie firmly believed in the words of the Left Prime Minister Chen Yizhong, and wanted to run away and surrender, and was unsteady.
When Yuan general Boyan led his army to siege the city, Chen Yizhong sent the supervisory envoy Yang Yingkui with the imperial seal and surrender to announce his unconditional surrender to the Yuan Dynasty.
But Chen Yizhong himself ran away secretly.
In this case, Wen Tianxiang was appointed as the right prime minister by Empress Dowager Xie, but his mission was to go to the Yuan Dynasty camp with the new left prime minister Wu Jian to ask Boyan to accept the surrender of the Southern Song Dynasty.
This promotion made Wen Tianxiang angry.
He was resolute and refused to compromise. He ran to the Yuan army camp not only but did not surrender, but also criticized the actions of the Yuan army.
At this time, he was actually determined to die.
But Boyan did not kill him, but imprisoned him in the Yuan Dynasty military camp.
Then, Empress Dowager Xie led people to surrender, and Wen Tianxiang was taken to the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.
Among them, the surrendered general Fan Wenhu was sent by Boyan to pursue Zhao Xian and Zhao Bing, and was stopped by his son-in-law Yang Zhen, and captured Yang Zhen.
It was also retribution. He followed Zhang Hongfan to attack Benzhou Island and asked for orders to surrender, but was killed on the spot by Zhao Dongting, which was also considered to have avenged Yang Zhen.
Later, Wen Tianxiang fled from the Yuan army at night, and after several twists and turns, he pulled up the anti-Yuan troops.
He heard that Zhao Xian and Zhao were not dead, and were in Fuzhou. They chased Fuzhou and were appointed as the right prime minister and the privy envoy, commanding all the troops.
I thought I could always express my ambitions now and take the Yuan Dynasty and restore the Song Dynasty, but I was excluded by Chen Yizhong and Zhang Shijie.
Chen Yizhong is also a talented person. He fled twice before the battle and was even more valued by the Southern Song court.
In fact, Zhao Dongting didn't like Zhang Shijie when he just came here because he saw in history books that he and Chen Yizhong excluded Wen Tianxiang.
Wen Tianxiang failed to do two people and was squeezed out of Fuzhou and sent to Jiangxi.
But he was not discouraged. He pulled up the anti-Yuan troops in Jiangxi, fought against the Yuan army, and regained many places one after another.
Later, when he learned that the Yuan general Ali Hague suppressed Hunan and Guangxi, he hurriedly led his army to Huizhou, Guangdong, to support Guangxi by sea, so as not to fall into a siege on the Southern Song Dynasty court on the island of Benzhou. It was here that he received a letter from Zhao Dongting asking him to send troops to Leizhou to prevent Ge Lijun from rebelling, and told him that if Ge Lijun rebelled, he would take the opportunity to take Leizhou.
He didn't care about Guangxi and hurriedly led his army to Leizhou by sea.
This happened to happen that Ge Lijun led his army to attack the island.
Wen Tianxiang first took down the coastal counties according to Zhao Dongting's secret order, and then went straight to Benzhou Island.
He was full of Song, but he was repeatedly rejected. Now, he was held by the little emperor as soon as he arrived, and was very close to him, and his heart was naturally moved.
Zhao Dongting knew about Wen Tianxiang’s experience and character in history books, so he naturally trusted and admired him very much.
He took his ministers and Wen Tianxiang to the Political Consultative Hall, but he refused to let Wen Tianxiang go, and forced Wen Tianxiang to sit on the dragon bed with him.
This made Wen Tianxiang feel even more grateful.
Zhang Shijie brought people in to report the results of the battle. Seeing this scene, his face changed slightly.
But he didn't say anything, just nodded at Wen Tianxiang, and then said, "Emperor, all the enemy troops are killed, but the Feitian Army and the Weiwu Army in Leizhou are still fighting at the foot of the mountain. Please decide."
Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "Lead the army to help the Flying Army, and be sure to completely destroy the mighty army!"
