Chapter 128 Use yourself as bait

In the early Song Dynasty, in order to facilitate governance, the administrative area within the Song Dynasty was divided into 15 routes.

Each road will have a treatment center, which is equivalent to a provincial capital. And the seat of Guangnan West Road in these 15 roads is Guizhou.

After Mu Guiying and his party entered Guizhou City, they became more and more uneasy when they saw the depressed scene in the city. Although I have never been to Guizhou, as the state city of governance, there should be some prosperous streets anyway. But looking at the empty street, almost all the shops were closed, and Mu Guiying's heart sank little by little.

Jiang De and He Qing looked at each other and understood that such a scene in Guizhou may have a lot to do with the current war. Unable to guess where the southern army went and where Yang Zongbao was, Mu Guiying and his party went directly to the government office.

I heard that there was a man from the court, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door flew into the government office to report the news. Just as Mu Guiying got out of the car and looked around, several people quickly walked out of the government office.

The person in front of his head is dressed in a neat official uniform. He is not tall or fat, and he is not in a hurry when walking. Even a trot all the way makes people feel very calm. Several people behind him include generals, civil servants, and more than a dozen officials, large and small. However, Mu Guiying doesn't know anyone here.

According to theory, as a rebel army, Yang Zongbao and all the generals should talk about the military and handle public affairs in the government office. Mu Guiying was very strange why he didn't see the generals in the rebel army. However, before she could think about it, the pedestrian had already walked in.

The leader walked to Mu Guiying without hesitation and smiled cheerfully: "I have long heard that the Marquis of Huntian, who broke the Tianmen array, is a hero of the country that is not inferior to any man. Today, it really lives up to its reputation."

"Lord Zhizhou is overreputed, and Gui Ying is ashamed." Although Mu Guiying was anxious, there was nothing strange in his tone, which made the Lord Zhizhou nod secretly.

This Zhizhou, surnamed Li Mingda, is the brother of Li Di, the servant of the imperial court. At the same time, these two brothers and Kou Zhun are good friends. Therefore, Mu Guiying also heard about Li Da from Kou Zhun. Li Da also admires the people of the Yang family very much. Especially knowing Mu Guiying's deeds, he wanted to see the female marshal who broke the sky.

For a burst of cold noise, Mu Guiying became more and more anxious when she saw that Li Da had never mentioned the rebellious army. Then he simply asked, "Lord Zhizhou, I don't know where the rebel army is now?"

"Well, the deputy marshal worked all the way. It's better to go to the guest room of the government office to have a rest first." Li Da's face was normal, but his eyes dodged left and right. From Mu Guiying, who was wearing a wide and undressed, she paused on her bulging stomach. Other local officials have been bowing their heads and dare not look at Mu Guiying when they learned that the person in front of them was the wife of the rebel Marshal Yang Zongbao, and also the marshal who broke the Tianmen array.

However, Mu Guiying couldn't care so much. She stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Lord Li, Guiying knows that you are a good friend and upright person. Therefore, Gui Ying, please tell the truth.

"Since the deputy marshal is so anxious, I won't hide it." Li Da sighed, leaned over and whispered, "Please go inside and talk about it in detail. It's a long story and can't be solved in a short time. Let's sit down and talk about it slowly."

After Li Da's story, Mu Guiying and other talents clearly understand the detailed process of Yang Zongbao from here to defeating the battle. At the same time, several people were also secretly shocked by the strength of the southern army, and the one who didn't even hear about the coach made Mu Guiying a little afraid.

By the saying, Zhizhou of Yizhou was the first to know about the rebellion. Because at that time, this Zhizhou returned to his hometown to celebrate his father's birthday, and his home was in Yongzhou near Jiaozhi. I heard from the people nearby that an army from Jiaozhi to Songjing joined forces with a group of local mountain thieves and occupied many villages. As soon as the Zhizhou of Yizhou heard this, he felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to send someone to explore, the group invaded Yongzhou.

Fortunately, Zhizhou in Yizhou was prepared, escaped with his family, and immediately sent someone to inform Guizhou. When Li Da received the urgent military situation in Zhizhou, Yizhou, he was not in a hurry to report to the court. In order to determine the accuracy of the information, send someone to Yizhou to investigate the situation.

It was confirmed that this group had occupied all the large and small counties in Yongzhou, and then Li Da understood that this was not a small matter, but a rebellion. Therefore, on the one hand, Li Da sent 800 miles to send the news to Bianliang City; on the other hand, he began to alert all the state governments on Guangnan West Road and also dispatched his troops to prepare for the rebellion.

Although Li Da's troops are all units, their strength is not weak. But they didn't expect that they would be defeated before they met each other's main force. He also watched the group establish the 'Southern Kingdom' in Yongzhou, and the leader of the group called himself 'Jingrendi'. In desperation, Li Da could only guard the army waiting for the court in Guizhou.

Seeing the southern army all the way north, Li Da was not easy to wait for, but he was still defeated and occupied Yizhou. What worried Li Da most was that Nanguo fought with the Song army many times, but he didn't get any information about this 'Jing Rendi'. Moreover, Li Da did not get a trace of the commander who led the southern army to defeat the Song army many times.

Fortunately, when the southern army captured Yizhou, there was no more action, which made Li Da a little confused when he breathed a sigh of relief. When Yang Zongbao came with a rebel army, he was ready to be stationed in Liuzhou and Guizhou to slowly clean up the army in the south.

But Yang Zongbao and Li Dawan did not expect that the southern army would touch Liuzhou under Li Da's eyes. And he captured Liuzhou with lightning and hit the rebel army that arrived. Yang Zongbao knew that the rebel army was tired all the way and had no strength to fight at all. For a moment, he was in a hurry and prepared to retreat to Guizhou with his army.

At this time, the army of the Southern Kingdom was assured of rumors that the Song army was defeated and the commander-in-chief fled. The heart of the Song army was naturally affected, allowing the army of the Southern Army to take advantage of the situation to chase and defeat the Song army again. In order to protect Yang Zongbao, Yang Zongying and Yang Zongying respectively led two teams to pursue Yang Zongbao's southern army, but their whereabouts are unknown.

Returning to Guizhou, Yang Zongbao, who was injured by an arrow, endured the pain and rectified the rebel army. However, after learning that the rebel army had lost one-fifth of its strength, Yang Zongbao finally couldn't stand it and fainted. After treatment, Yang Zongbao woke up. But he became silent all day long and only had a straight face.

After finally recovering from his injury, Yang Zongbao learned that Yang Zongfeng and Yang Zongying might be trapped in Liuzhou. Therefore, Yang Zongbao planned to go to Liuzhou. Li Da and others all think that this matter is fraudulent and cannot go to Liuzhou.

But Yang Zongbao said, "Do you think I don't know if there may be fraud in it. But for the possibility of one tenth, one percent, or even one million, I went to Liuzhou. Moreover, most importantly, I also want to let the southern army know that my soldiers in the Song Dynasty are not reckless.

It turns out that Yang Zongbao has had a thorough plan for a long time. While he only took 2,000 horses to Liuzhou, the remaining army was quietly attacked Yizhou by Yue Sheng, who had recovered most of his injuries, and Yang Bamei and Yang Jiumei, who had just arrived.

Yang Zongbao's move can be described as an 'military dangerous move'. When the commander of the Southern Army used Yang Zongfeng and Yang Zongying as bait to attract Yang Zongbao to take the bait; Yang Zongbao was not using himself as bait to delay the southern army and capture Yizhou. Yizhou is the most important state capital in Guangnan West Road. As long as Yizhou is taken and the army of the south wants to go north, it is very difficult.

So, Yang Zongbao was ready to gamble. Because he expected that the southern country would not give up Yizhou, and finally would definitely give up Liuzhou to help Yizhou. As long as the bet wins, Yang Zongbao can know the news of Yang Zongfeng and Yang Zongying, and can also take the opportunity to retake Liuzhou. But if the bet is lost and the army of the south bites him, Yue Sheng will not capture Yizhou politely.

Although Yang Zongbao himself and the 2,000 soldiers are more or less lucky, the world can't be perfect. In order to revive the morale of the army and not to humiliate the reputation of the 'Yang family general', Yang Zongbao can't care so much and must gamble once.

Li Da and other local officials were shocked to learn about Yang Zongbao's decision. Especially Li Da himself, in public and private, he doesn't want Yang Zong to be in danger. Anyway, Yang Zongbao has lost two brothers. If Yang Zongbao has nothing to do, he will face Kou Zhun and the Eighth Prince's secret instructions to him.

But Yang Zongbao did not listen to Li Da's persuasion and forcibly set out with 2,000 people in the name of rebellious rebellion. Although Yue Sheng couldn't bear it, he knew that this method was extremely risky and rewarding. He accepted his order and set out for Yizhou with a large army.

"Does Lord Li know what's going on now?" When asked this sentence, Mu Guiying lowered her head slightly, lowered her eyelids, and her head was also huddled in her sleeves. Li Da and others could not see any of her emotions at all.

However, from Mu Guiying's tone, Li Da heard that he was very calm and said softly, "In the morning, the news came that Marshal Yang and 2,000 soldiers were trapped in Liuzhou for two days. The army of the Southern Kingdom seemed to want to wait for Marshal Yang to surrender by himself. And there is also news from General Yue that he will arrive in Yizhou one day.

"I'm going to Liuzhou." Mu Guiying suddenly raised her head, her eyes were covered with blood, and her lips seemed to have been bitten hard by herself, with a little blood. When she stood up, her hands outside her sleeves were white because of their clenching.

However, before Li Da could speak out to stop the persuasion, Mu Guiying shook a few times, then closed her eyes, leaned back, and fainted on the chair...
