The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1503
So far, the three towns on the southern edge of Yuanjing Zhaofu Road have all fallen.

This doesn't seem like a very important thing, or even insignificant.But in reality it is not, with profound implications.

Most of the counties on Jingzhaofu Road are in the north, and the south is quite barren.

Apart from the three towns of Ganyou, Fengyang, and Shangluo, and the two cities of Shangluo and Luonan, there are almost no other cities in the south of Jingzhaofu Road.Only Guozhou, which lives in a corner in the southwest, remains.

This is the southern half of Jingzhaofu Road.

The army of the Central Shu Military Region only needs to take down the two cities of Shangluo and Luonan, which is equivalent to taking down half of Jingzhaofu Road.

Although this place is barren, they can rely on this half of Jingzhaofu Road to station troops and collect food, and then they can completely advance and attack, and retreat and defend.

The Yuan army who came to support Fengyang Town from Shangluo, the state capital, did not realize this.

This is the limitation of the times.

These Yuan troops probably didn't take Ganyou, Fengyang, and Shangluo Town too seriously.For them, as long as the state capital Shangluo is not lost, then the sky of Shangzhou will not collapse.

As for Qianyou Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, there is no need to mention it.

As the center of Jingzhaofu Road, Jingzhaofu is surrounded by many town guards.Losing the most remote Ganyou Town will not affect the overall situation at all.

So, when the Yuan troops who came from Shangluo arrived outside Defengyang Town, they saw that the Song Dynasty flag had been erected on the top of Fengyang Town, and did not launch an attack immediately.

They assembled in a hurry, probably only about two thousand cavalry.On the top of the city, there are also many armors, and the soldiers of the Tiangui Army are all high-spirited.

The leader Yuan Jiang pondered for a while, and finally waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice: "Withdraw!"

"General Tao!"

A general who was also wearing armor next to him said: "Master Zhizhou asked us to help Fengyang, so they retreated like this? Will they be punished by Master Zhizhou?"

The general surnamed Tao said: "Fengyang Town has been lost, look at the top of the city, there are so many Song troops, can we take it?"

After finishing speaking, he turned the horse's head directly.

The general who spoke looked at the top of the city and knew that it would not be easy to take down Fengyang Town, so he sighed softly and followed to the back.

Fengyang Town is just a frontier town, if you lose it, you lose it.As long as he can win the battle with Da Song in the future, then this is nothing at all.

Standing at the head of the city, Ba Tuom was slightly surprised at first when he watched the retreat of these Yuan troops, and then smiled.

He was really worried that Shangluo Mansion would send an army to take back Fengyang Town no matter the cost.In that case, Marshal Shi Kaiji would encounter a lot of trouble in his strategy of developing the base area in the south of Jingzhaofu Road.Now, that worry is apparently gone.

The Yuan army only came to such a small number of people, and they left without even beating, obviously they didn't take Fengyang Town seriously.

The next day.

Shi Kaiji, Zhang Guangbao and others who led the army stationed in Raofengling saw the messengers sent back by Feng Hebi, Batumi and Liang Jingshan one after another.

Of course, the news brought back by the messengers is that they have successfully occupied the target town.

After Shi Kaiji received the reports one after another, he couldn't help laughing in the handsome tent.

As long as the imperial army of the Song Dynasty can have a base in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, it will be difficult for the Yuan army to drive them out.

Afterwards, Shi Kaiji shouted to the generals in the tent: "Wang Dagang, Wei Feiying, Yuan Kangbo... listen to the order!"

"The end is here!"

Except for Batumi, the five major imperial guards, and the three garrison chiefs of Chengdu, Jiading, and Luzhou all surrendered.

Shi Kaiji said: "Take out the stronghold immediately! Tianshang, Tianmeng, Tiankui, Tianqiao, Jiading Mansion, and Chengdu Mansion's garrison troops will follow me to Ganyou Town to join Vice President Feng Hebi!"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Guangbao, "Tiangui, Tianbao, and the Luzhou garrison, follow Deputy Commander Zhang to Fengyang! Take Shangluo early!"

"The last general takes orders!"

All the generals in the tent shouted again in unison.Then they left their tents in a hurry and went down to prepare.

Changsha.

Jun Tianfang and the others took Yue Li Guozhu back to the city in a calm manner.

Based on their footsteps, if they traveled with all their strength, they could have returned to Changsha within [-] days.But because of the troubled Yue Li Guozhu, he was delayed for ten more days.

Even so, the Yue Li Guozhu who appeared in Changsha City has turned pale.

He has never suffered such a pain in his life.He can eat enough to eat every day, but most of the time he gnaws on dry food that makes him hard to swallow.Coupled with the fact that he was wearing stars and wearing moons on the road, he who was originally rather rich now lost a lot of weight, and his complexion also became sallow.

"arrive."

When Jun Tianfang led him into the south gate of Changsha and uttered these two words, the Lord Yue Li almost cried.

It's finally here.

If not, he doesn't know how many days he can last.

Rather than letting him go through the storm again, he would rather be taken to the Great Song Palace and imprisoned now.At least, you can get a good night's sleep without having to work so hard.

And he also understands that he is also the leader of the Yue Li Kingdom.Although he was captured, he would not be abused by the emperor of Song.

If he wanted to kill him or abuse him, Jun Tianfang and the others would do so on the way, and they wouldn't wait until now.

After entering the city, the Lord Yue Li began to look at the scenery in Changsha city.

This made him look surprised and envious.

It is said that Changsha is the rarest bustling city in the world, and now we can see it, and it really is.In comparison, his Thang Long City is really shabby.

This spacious street paved with blue stones, and the dazzling variety of shops on both sides of the street, are said to be unseen in Thang Long City.

What's even more commendable is that the streets are also full of people coming and going.Men, women, old and young, most of them had satisfied smiles on their faces.

This is a big city full of spirit.

Even if he is given another ten or a hundred years, he may not be able to develop Shenglong City into the prosperity of Changsha.

At this moment, Yue Li Guozhu suddenly felt guilty.

He felt that the more than [-] years since he ascended the throne in the Yueli Dynasty were really wasted.

He put all his energy on how to balance the forces in the country, the officials in the court, how to choose beauty, accept concubines, and indulge in excesses, but he almost never thought about the common people.

At that time, he only felt that the entire Yue Li Dynasty belonged to him, and he was the sky.For his selfish desires, anyone in the Yue Li Dynasty can sacrifice.

This is probably the reason why the people in Shenglong City did not have the same smiles as the people in Changsha City.

All the way to the gate of the palace, Lord Yue Li looked sad and thoughtful.

After Jun Tianfang and the others showed their tokens, a group of people walked directly towards the main hall of the palace.

A eunuch hurried to the palace to report to Zhao Dongting.

When Zhao Dongting heard that Jun Tianfang and others had returned, he hurried from the bedroom to the main hall.

Lord Yue Li was escorted into the palace by Jun Tian, ​​raised his head, and saw the still young Zhao Dongting sitting on the dragon chair.

The Great Song Emperor was not as domineering as he had imagined. Although he had a strong majesty, he was quite restrained and looked younger than he had imagined.

Zhao Dongting slowly opened his eyes, as if there were two bright lights flashing in his eyes, he said in a low voice, "You are Li Changfu, the lord of the Yue Li Dynasty?"

Li Changfu, the leader of the Yueli Kingdom, looked directly at Zhao Dongting and did not answer.

Zhao Dongting said again: "Speaking of which, Li Gongyun, the founder of your Yue Li Dynasty, seems to be a Han Chinese. His grandfather Li Song was also the prime minister in the later Jin Dynasty. Speaking of which, your Yue Li Dynasty has a lot of connections with our Great Song Dynasty. It stands to reason that you Yue Li Dynasty should be friendly with our Great Song Dynasty. I don't understand why you attacked Qinzhou, Lianzhou, Yongzhou and other places in my dynasty during the previous dynasty, and even massacred the city. In the tenth year of Jing Yan, you also let Chen Guojun lead the army to attack my Da Song, is it because my Da Song is not friendly enough to your Yue Li Dynasty? Or is it because you think our Da Song is just a time when the wind and rain are turbulent, so it is easy to bully?"

Li Changfu sneered when he heard this, "The law of the law is the law of the law, so what is there to explain? Now that you Song Qiang and I are weaker than Li Chao, am I still captured by you?"

"A good sentence is the jungle of the jungle."

A thoughtful look flashed across Zhao Dongting's eyes, and he said slowly: "Then since you have such thoughts, I won't talk to you anymore."

"Come on!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Dongting shouted to the outside of the hall: "Take Li Changfu down! Imprisoned in the palace!"

Outside the hall, forbidden troops entered the hall and escorted Li Changfu outside the hall.Li Changfu only looked at Zhao Dongting and did not resist.
