King of Song

Chapter 279
At night, the wind is howling!
When Lin Zhao left Li Fugui's Chinese army tent, he subconsciously tightened his clothes.Although it was cold, I was in a good mood.

Colluding with Li Fugui?To cover for him?How can it be?On issues of principle, Lin Zhao will never compromise.

During these days in Liyuan Castle and Dashun City, he found out a lot of things, and then easily learned the truth to be investigated.

The conflict between Song and Xia was completely caused by Li Fugui. It was his initiative to attack and underestimate the enemy, which led to the conflict, and then led to the failure.

The reason why Li Fugui sent troops rashly is not known, the important thing is because of the consequences of his rash sending troops.Dashun City was caught off guard, and the entire Huanqing Road border defense line suffered successive casualties of [-] to [-] soldiers of the Song Army.

Although the war is cruel, it is really for the purpose of defending the country. It is also honorable to die on the battlefield, and death is worth it.

But this time, looking at the pile of corpses under the city wall, Lin Zhao couldn't help but sneered.Tens of thousands of soldiers did not have to die, but because of Li Fugui's insistence on going his own way, they died in Huangquan.For this alone, Li Fugui cannot forgive.

Now that the war has started, it's okay to win, but it happened to be defeated.

The defeat in this battle caused a great shock to the Great Song Dynasty.As a result, the entire border defense line in the northwest is in turmoil, the border between the country and the DPRK is restless, and many internal affairs in the country will also be affected.

In addition, the "international" influence is even worse!
The Song Dynasty and Xixia were hostile, and there was nothing wrong with sending troops to attack, but without a legitimate reason, sending troops without the permission of the court should not have been done.

First, it disrupted the overall strategic deployment of the Song Dynasty, and at the same time, it had to bear moral accusations.In a word, the timing is wrong, it is wrong!

Xixia has just submitted a request for canonization as a vassal, so what will the people of Xixia think when they send troops out of nowhere?The originally relatively harmonious relationship between Song and Xia suddenly became tense.

The Song Dynasty is currently undergoing reforms and needs a relatively stable external environment. Li Fugui's actions are undoubtedly what Emperor Zhao Xu does not want to see.

The tense relationship between Song and Xia will undoubtedly give Tubo and Liao something to think about.Previously, it was because the Song army was defeated on Huanqing Road and Xixia won that Dong felt that he would bury Liang Yi's net in the assassination incident, and the actual impact has already appeared.

Fortunately, there is no change in the Liao Kingdom for the time being, otherwise the situation will undoubtedly become more complicated.In short, the recent period of time is really thrilling, presumably the emperor Zhao Xu of Bianjing and his important ministers have been having trouble sleeping and eating recently!

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Fugui's inexplicable and rash move brought about great turmoil and had a very bad influence.

Fortunately, Dashun City has been recaptured now, otherwise the door of Huanqing Road will be opened in the future, and there will be no peace on the northwest border, and the consequences will be disastrous.

Is it just the end of the war?Can the Xixia people retreat willingly?What will happen later?Things are far from over.

The more annoying thing came later. After the defeat, in order to shirk responsibility, Li Fugui wronged the innocent general and killed him in the name of disobedience to restraint.

Such an act of covering the sky with one hand and turning black and white upside down is really indignant.

Lin Zhao was very angry when he learned the truth. In addition, Zhe Wenxin mentioned before that Li Fugui also opened up pastures for farming and forcibly took other people's horses.

A very clear result can be obtained from these actions. If this person is not removed, the safety of Huanqing Road is really worrying.

As for the punishment for the crime, Lin Zhao didn't know, but at least let him leave Gyeongju, I believe the official Zhao Xu will make a decision.As for the evidence, all the surviving soldiers in Dashun City can prove that the evidence is as solid as a mountain.

Lin Zhao really wanted to report the news to Bianjing in time to inform Emperor Zhao Xu, but the current situation was very embarrassing.

Alone in Gyeongju, Li Fugui has a heavy army in his hands, so it's hard to guarantee that he won't take any measures against him.What he is most afraid of is that if he takes a risk, he will fall into a very dangerous situation.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is self-protection, after all, life is the most important thing.

Hence, Lin Zhao adopted this method, intentionally trying to get close to Li Fugui.Thinking about it, if he had no other choice, Li Fugui also hoped to use gentle means to deal with it. Is a person who is willing to help him cover up still an enemy?Will he still take the risk of doing something extraordinary?
Wang Anshi, the middleman, has a good reason, and his own mentality is completely justified!
But what shocked Lin Zhao was that Li Fugui accidentally slipped the tongue and mentioned Wang Yu.Lin Zhao never expected that Wang Yuanze would also be involved.Did he remind Li Fugui to be careful?Is it bad for yourself again?

Lin Zhao's heart suddenly felt very bad. After all, Wang Yu's meanness was revealed, which inevitably made people feel chilling!

In the case of Li Fugui, Lin Zhao did not want to implicate Wang Anshi and his son, but now it seems...

Fortunately, Lin Zhao reacted quickly enough and told Li Fugui: "There is some misunderstanding between me and Mr. Yuanze, and I just want to take this opportunity to resolve it..."

Lin Zhao also didn't expect Li Fugui to fully believe it. All in all, he was a little hesitant and embarrassed at the moment, and that was enough.

In this way, it can be delayed and give the teacher more time.And when the news spread, Su An learned that he would also rescue him.

Now, that's all there is to it!

Lin Zhao was really tired, and couldn't take care of other things at the moment, so he returned to the camp and fell asleep.

Let everything be fate!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lin Zhao went back to sleep, but Li Fugui couldn't sleep all night.

Today's situation was too sudden, with several ups and downs between sadness and joy, Lin Zhao had already explained the matter very clearly.

He has already grasped the ins and outs of the matter, and the matter is somewhat beyond his control, and the initiative is completely in Lin Zhao's hands.

And Lin Zhao's degree of initiative was completely unexpected!
He is willing to cover for himself?Really?

Li Fugui really didn't know what to do. On the one hand, Lin Zhao had a good reason, which was very reasonable and completely justified.

But Wang Yu reminded that Lin Zhao was very cunning, and it was really hard to say what was true or not.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Fugui kept pacing back and forth, thinking too many thoughts in his mind.After a long time, he gave an order: "Go back to Qingzhou immediately, and ask Mr. Chen Qiao to come and see you quickly!"

He had no time to blame Chen Qiao for being so careless and being deceived by Lin Zhao's tricks.Nowadays, counselors are especially needed to help analyze the pros and cons and discuss countermeasures.

More importantly, those who are fans of their own authority especially need a clear bystander to remind them.Dashun City is forty miles northwest of Gyeongju. If Chen Qiao leaves immediately after receiving the news, he will definitely arrive before dawn.

Now Dashun City is completely under his control, and Lin Zhao is also the turtle in the urn, so he is not afraid that he will make any waves!
