Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 146
Earl Ying saw each of the six thieves confronting Li Gang. He immediately raised his hands and exclaimed: "I agree with Mr. Li's idea!"

As soon as these words came out, the members of the Six Thieves all looked at Count Ying.

Cai Jing's face was full of surprise. He never imagined that Earl Ying would openly oppose them in the court.

Although the situation is extremely urgent right now, everyone has always been tacit in their hearts that the so-called faction is united against dissent.

Since Earl Ying came to Bianliang City, he has been in a heart-to-heart relationship with the six thieves.

Moreover, Cai Jing was the first important official of the Song Dynasty that Count Ying recognized.

Cai Jing was quite shocked. He frowned and looked at Earl Ying and asked urgently: "Ying Ge, what do you mean?"

Since the first Battle of Bianliang, Count Ying has focused all his attention on Li Gang almost all the time.

He has been waiting for Li Gang to take action. Now that Li Gang finally takes action, he is actually more excited than anyone else.

If you don't do it now, make great achievements, and run the court, when will you wait?
Earl Ying quickly walked up to Li Gang and said to Li Gang: "Taichang Shaoqing, anyway, the civil and military officials in the dynasty have their own ideas, and they have never been able to reach a unified opinion."

"Why don't you and I take the initiative to ask the Holy One to guard our country in the Song Dynasty?"

It is said that since Count Ying entered the Great Song Dynasty, Li Gang has never taken Count Ying seriously.

Now that Earl Ying said such words, Li Gang was extremely shocked.

Li Gang immediately put his hand on Earl Ying's shoulder, nodded and said, "I never expected that Lord Ying really impressed me, Li Gang, today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Gang turned to look at Emperor Huizong and said loudly: "We sincerely ask your majesty to allow me and Lord Ying to lead our troops out of the inner city to fight against the Jin army!"

Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others' hearts were clenched. They raised their hands high in the air and hurriedly made a gesture of blocking.

However, whatever the six of them wanted to say at this time, it was already too late.

Emperor Huizong gritted his teeth and said sternly: "Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang, please give orders to Ying Guanghou, you two will listen to your orders!"

Earl Ying and Li Gang both knelt on the ground quickly, and Emperor Huizong was so ambitious that he said loudly: "I appointed Lord Li as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, General Zuo, and Lord Ying as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, General Right."

"You two immediately lead the [-] inner city guards to rush out of the outer city and fight the Jin army at all costs!"

Emperor Huizong's voice continued to echo in the court. This was not only the highlight of Li Gang's life, who had always served the country wholeheartedly along the way.

It was even the highlight moment in the lives of both Count Ying and Emperor Huizong.

Earl Ying and Li Gang looked at each other and immediately accepted the order: "I obey the order!"

At this time, the battle on the front line was in full swing. Since the Jin army had already learned the lessons of the first Bianliang defense battle, it used all its strength from the beginning.

Go all out to attack Weizhou Gate, Fengqiu Gate, Chenqiao Gate, Xinzheng Gate and other gates in Bianliang Outer City.

The beating made the Song army complain incessantly. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty almost lasted until their last breath and still persisted in resisting the Jin army tenaciously.

The Iron Buddha of the Jin Army was like a savage beast, completely crushing the innocent hearts of these good men.

In just an hour, almost all the gates outside Bianliang City were covered with blood and corpses were lying on the ground.

Jin Wushu, who was in a military tent a hundred miles away, witnessed with his own eyes the war raging in the outer city of Bianliang and the devastation of life, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Wearing sterling silver armor and holding a long sword, he said to his entourage: "Report to the Holy Lord quickly, I will rush into the inner city right now!"

"Take off the head of Zhao Ji, the Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and give it to the Holy One, and make wine for the Holy One to drink!" The entourage on the left and right said quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jin Wushu immediately rushed out of the military tent, mounted his horse, and galloped all the way towards the smoldering land.

At the same time, Earl Ying and Li Gang, who were wearing battle armor, had completely reorganized the three armies.

He led a total of [-] inner city guards and walked quickly on the official road to the outer city.

Since the inner city guards had been in full alert for days, Earl Suiying and Li Gang had almost just come out of the court, turned around and hit the road.

Earl Ying brought Yue Fei and Han Shizhong with him before his departure, and prepared to let them have a good fight on the battlefield and show their faces in the second Bianliang defense battle.

At this time, the two men wearing armor and holding spears were very excited.

First of all, the grand defense battle of Bianliang was on a scale unprecedented in more than a hundred years.

As far as the Song Dynasty is concerned, it can be said to be the largest war among all the wars in more than a hundred years.

Secondly, in the past, although Han Shizhong thought wholeheartedly about excelling on the battlefield, in the end his achievements were often taken away by others.

Either he is the adopted son of so and so, or he is the son-in-law of so and so.

There is never any fairness!

At this time, he followed Earl Ying, feeling extremely excited, as his day to come forward was finally coming.

The [-] inner city guards led by Earl Ying and Li Gang set out at five o'clock in the morning and rushed from east to west in a turbulent way. When they arrived in the outer city, it happened to be three o'clock in the morning.

The officers and soldiers of the Song Army who were fighting hard in the outer city were extremely excited when they saw the imperial court sending a mighty 9 horses to the outer city.

Regardless of his leg injury, General Zhong Shidao came to greet Earl Ying and Li Gang in person.

Zhong Shidao and Li Gang exchanged some simple greetings, and then quickly led Earl Ying and Li Gang into the military tent to explain the current battle situation in detail.

Li Gang looked at the battle map of the two armies spread on the ground, gritted his teeth and said sternly: "I have been favored by the emperor in this life, and now the time to serve the country has come. Just now, His Majesty said in the court that we can only win this battle and not lose." !”

Earl Ying's gaze was profound. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong stood beside him on the left and right sides.

Earl Ying nodded and said: "General, after all, Li Gang and I are civil servants and cannot compare to you generals."

"Now that the war is imminent, we must share the same hatred and resist the Jin army to the death, and we will be united as one!"

Zhong Shidao said: "Sir Ying, what you say makes sense! To be honest, I don't have much confidence in the chance of winning this battle."

"If it can be said to be ten points, in my opinion, the chance of winning is at most only this number."

Earl Ying, Li Gang, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong all looked at Zhong Shidao's right hand, and saw Zhong Shidao's five fingers stretched out in unison.

Earl Ying was stunned, looked at Master Zhong and asked, "General, do you have only a five-point chance of winning?"

Zhong Shidao sighed and quickly knelt down to explain the current war situation to Earl Ying and Li Gang.

"Master Li, Master Ying, you two are well looked after. This is Fengqiu Gate in the outer city of Bianliang. I sent [-] elite troops to guard this place, but half an hour ago, this place was attacked by the Jin Army... …”
