The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 215 Death of Liu Yu
Yelu Yu was confused when he saw him being escorted into the tent: "Commander, why is this?"

After listening to Xiao Zhonggong's narration of what Zhao Huan had said, Yelu Yujian seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed loudly: "Others don't know why I, Yelu Yujian, dropped the gold. Don't you, Xiao Zhonggong, also know?"

Xiao Zhonggong was stunned and looked at Wanyan Zongwang.

Yeluyu saw that he was forced to pay gold by Emperor Liao.

Emperor Tianzuo believed the slander and killed Yelu Yujian's wife. Yelu Yujian then fled to the Kingdom of Jin and asked for surrender.

How could he have ulterior motives, and how could he collude with Song Dynasty?
Wanyan Zongwang thought for a moment: "The king said that he has sent someone to contact you. This person has now left the city..."

"Hmph! Who is it? The commander-in-chief said clearly that the general will behead this person right now to show his loyalty!" Yelu Yu raised his lips in disdain.

"Liu Yu!"

……

……

Liu Yu was ordered to investigate the fact that the Deqing army camp was attacked and the other camps stood by and did not rush to help. He had been out of the city for two days.

On this day, we arrived at the Western Army camp fifteen miles north of the Deqing Army's station.

The Western Army is actually just a collective name, not an independent designation.

Refers to the Northwest Forbidden Army stationed at the border between Song and Xia all year round.

In this area, the forces are also complex and the relationships are intricate. The more well-known ones include the Fuzhou Zhe Family Army, Linzhou Yang Family General, Qingjian City Zhong Family Army, Yan'an Prefecture Yao Family Army and the direct army of the then Shaanxi General Liu Fa.

Currently stationed here are the remnants of Shaanxi general Liu Fa.

Since Liu Fa was killed by Tong Guan, the team that escaped from the hinterland of Xixia has lost its courage, and for some reason they were transferred back to Kaifeng to garrison.

The current commander of this team is Liu Fa's former deputy general named Zhai Jin.

Seeing Liu Yu coming to inquire about this matter with an order from the Privy Council, Zhai Jin spoke seriously about the situation that night: "It's not that the general didn't rush to help, it's because the Jin army's cavalry was too fast. When the general was ready to send troops to rush for reinforcements, the Deqing army collapsed. The soldiers had already escaped, and the general was afraid that the Jin army would set up an ambush, so..."

"Hmph!" Official Liu Yu was full of authority. He took a big case and cursed: "That's nonsense! Qingcheng is more than thirty miles away from the Deqing army's garrison, but your army is only fifteen miles away from the Deqing army. How come it's too late to rush to help? I see You are deliberately delaying the military plane and are suspected of collaborating with the enemy."

Good guy, no one can hold this hat up.

This time when he went out of the city to investigate, Tang Ke specifically told Liu Yu that it didn't matter what the truth was, but he must put a big buckle on these generals.

Although Tang Ke didn't explain clearly why he had to do this, Liu Yu was a smart man and he could still understand Tang Ke's thoughts.

Who arranged these garrisons?
Officials, cultivating the way of teaching, Han Shizhong.

If these garrisons are ruined, whose fault is it?
Officials, cultivating the way of teaching, Han Shizhong.

If this handle can be handed over to Emperor Daojun and King Bi, how will they use it in the future?

As for whether it will cause a mutiny?
How could there be a mutiny if people were only labeled and not asked about the crime?
Seeing that Zhai Jin was speechless, Liu Yu changed his face again: "General Zhai, in fact, it is not your fault. I asked you to station outside Kaifeng City instead of blocking the Jin army from going south along the way. This is what I said above. It’s a mistake, is the general right?”

Zhai Jin smiled awkwardly: "I wonder what Mr. Liu refers to above?"

Liu Yu pointed at the Queen of Heaven with a smile, picked up the tea bowl and blew on it, and said with a smile: "Now that the prince oversees the country and the emperor oversees the government, there must be an explanation for the Deqing army. Although General Zhai is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, if he can prove it to himself It’s not a big deal to think about being innocent.”

"What does Mr. Liu mean?" Zhai Jin was puzzled.

"What's wrong? When the sky falls, there's something above that's holding it up. As for how to explain it, General Zhai doesn't know how to do it?"

Zhai Jin shook his head, still not understanding what Liu Yu meant.

"I heard that your battalions were stationary after receiving the order from the Privy Council. Did General Zhai move?"

Zhai Jin suddenly realized that this was asking him to pass the blame to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. In other words, he was passing the blame to Lao Zhongxianggong and Han Shizhong. To extend it a bit... wouldn't it be to pass the blame to the officials?Zhai Jin thought in his mind that things had indeed changed.

A little Liu Yu dared to instruct others to slander the official family so blatantly.

"Then if something like this happens again, will we rush to rescue or not?" Zhai Jin asked.

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It depends on whether King Bi and the Supreme Emperor want to fight or make peace. However, I feel that peace is still necessary. Let's wait a little longer. It is always right to listen to the court."

When sending Liu Yu out of the camp, the two exchanged a few words. Just when Liu Yu was about to board the car and go to the next camp, he saw a dozen riders rushing towards him not far away.

Liu Yu was curious and pointed at the ten cavalrymen and asked, "General Zhai, who are those?"

Zhai Jin looked up and saw that the ten or so horsemen had neither set up flags nor wore armor. Looking from a distance, he really didn't know where they came from: "Could they be civil righteous men who came to seek refuge?"

Liu Yu snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "Stay away from these people. If you fail, you will fail."

After that, he bent down and got into the car.

Before the driver of the car could leave, the dozen or so riders had already surrounded him. Only then did Zhai Jin see clearly that one of them was Xiao Zhonggong, who had come to the camp to have a secret chat with him a few days ago.

Zhai Jin quickly surrounded him with his soldiers, walked to Xiao Zhonggong's horse, raised his head and asked quietly: "What's the matter?"

Before Xiao Zhonggong could speak, he saw a rider next to him, opening the curtain of Liu Yu's car and asking in a deep voice: "Liu Yu?"

Liu Yu, who had closed his eyes and meditated in the car, slowly opened his eyes after hearing this: "Who are you?"

"Answer, are you Liu Yu?" On the horseback, the burly man with dark complexion and strong beard asked angrily.

Liu Yu also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at this time. Nono nodded: "Exactly."

The burly man turned his head and spat, snorting coldly: "I've been looking for you for a long time."

After saying that, the burly man got off his horse and pulled Liu Yu out.

Seeing the fierce look on the man's face, Liu Yu was paralyzed with fear. He glanced at Zhai Jin and shouted: "General Zhai, save me!"

Zhai Jin waved his hand, and a hundred or so forbidden troops quickly poured out of the military camp, surrounding everyone: "Xiao Xianggong, what do you mean?"

Xiao Zhonggong smiled bitterly and said: "You are forcing the king to say that Liu Yu was ordered to meet with General Yelu Yujian. No, I invited him here to save Liu Yu from making a trip."

As he spoke, he pointed at the strong man: "This is the right supervisor of our East Route Army, Yelu Yujian."

Liu Yu was stunned, thinking that he had never received such an order.

Yelu Yujian sneered: "I heard that you are coming to instigate rebellion against me?"

Liu Yu shook his head three times in fear: "It's not me, I don't have it, I don't know."

The sword flashed and blood spurted out. Liu Yu's head was already in Yelu Yujian's hand, his eyes were bulging and his mouth was not closed.

Zhai Jin was shocked and immediately ordered: "Crossbowman!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crossbowmen in the military camp quickly lined up and got ready to go.

Zhai Jin shouted in a deep voice: "Xiao Xianggong, that's too much!"

Xiao Zhonggong did not panic, but stepped forward and bowed to Zhai Jin: "General Zhai, please wait a moment before you get angry. Let's go into the tent and talk about it?"

Zhai Jin thought for a moment and said to the lieutenant: "Just keep an eye on me and don't let anyone go!"

After that, he turned around and walked towards the big tent on his own, while Xiao Zhonggong followed closely behind and entered the big tent one after another.
