Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 556 Rumors
In a sorted out mansion in Fancheng.

Lu Qian was burying his head in his files.Of course he doesn't have to worry about the war, but there are too many things to do in government affairs.The secretaries and supervisors are no longer the original 12 people, but now there are no fewer than twenty.Either correspond to the Six Ministries and Five Metropolitan Governments, or correspond to the State Administration of Taxation, courts, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.It was like a small imperial court.

While Lehe is in charge of the governor, he also has a counterpart department, the intelligence department over there.

He was surprised by the letter Cao Zheng sent that day, and hurriedly reported it to Lu Qian to know.

"Zeng Nong, Zeng Kui..."

He hadn't heard of these two names for a long time, and the little city of Zengtou had long been forgotten by him.Now it suddenly jumped out in the Jurchen Realm.In particular, the responsibility they are likely to bear is to enter the customs and have a secret talk with Zhao Song...

Lu Qian thought of Yan Qing in an instant, "Pass the order down and ask Yan Qing to pay close attention." Is Zhao Song going to form an alliance with Jurchen, or is Jurchen going to form an alliance with Zhao Song?If the former, then the intention is self-evident.If so, Lu Qian felt the urge to kill Zhao Ji right now.

And God seemed to feel his mood, black clouds outside covered the sky, and the haze was dense, and after a while, the raindrops merged into one piece and fell down with a crackling sound.

This rain is cool.After all, it is the rain in the second half of September, which can be mixed with winter rain.Hit on the body, cold and cold.

There is no violence of summer rain, nor is it soft and dripping of autumn rain.

It rained for five whole days, and the Sandaogou outside the two camps of the Liangshan Army at the foot of Lumen Mountain was almost full of water. It finally cleared up, but in less than two days, it was covered with dark clouds again, and the icy cold rain was pouring. Crash down.

This time it didn't rain day and night, but gradually, the sky never really cleared up.The black cloud above the head seemed to be a huge boulder covering the top, which made people breathless.

Lumen Mountain's long-prepared offensive was stopped directly by Lu Qian.

It was raining so cold, the mountain road was already slippery, and the bows and crossbows were unusable, so the soldiers were asked to feign attack with swords and guns. Do you think there is a lack of stones on Lumen Mountain?Or because there is a Lumen Temple on the mountainside, this is a good place to bury corpses?
It doesn't matter if you take it or not.Because Lu Qian was not prepared to take Xiangyang this time.Thousands of Song soldiers guarded there, just like a chicken rib, it's a pity to eat it tasteless and throw it away.

Therefore, when the news came from the Huainan battlefield that Chao Gai had broken into the Lujiang River, Lu Qian laughed out loud and immediately ordered the whole army to return home.

Of course, he won't really go back to Nanyang all the way, but the army can only stay on the Dengzhou-Tangzhou line, not on the banks of the Han River.

Fancheng was still left to the Song army.It is too close to Xiangyang, and there is no danger to defend.

Following the relentless autumn rain, at the end of September, Lu Qian withdrew his troops.

The tens of thousands of troops moved, and the Song army on the other side was very nervous.On Yanshan Mountain, Wang Shixuan immediately knew of the movement of the Liangshan army on the other side, so he hurried out of his big tent to watch.I don't know why, but he didn't feel nervous after hearing the report.

Looking at the direction of the Liangshan military camp on the opposite bank, Wang Shixuan could have a panoramic view of the movement of the Liangshan military camp on the opposite bank of the river without pulling away the binoculars in his hand.

This doesn't look like a posture of going to war, but it seems to be marching.

In the blink of an eye, it began to rain. In this weather, the feigned attack on Lumen Mountain, was the Lu thief kicked in the head by a donkey?
In Fancheng, before the army was tidied up, Lu Qian put on his coir raincoat and rode on his horse before rushing out of the city.His coir raincoat is special, and there is a layer of oil wax cloth under the coir coir grass to prevent moisture and moisture.

He wears a Fan Yang hat on his head, which is also made of oiled wax cloth.The good horse that sat down trembled in the rain, and spent many days in the stable. Today, it can move its muscles and bones, even though the ground is full of water and silt, it must be happy.

"Let's go. When the king makes a comeback next time, he will go to Xiangyang." After saying that, he turned his horse's head and galloped towards the north.

The army retreated slowly, its steps shaking the earth, like a torrent, returning slowly.

Zhizhou Yamen in Xiangyang City on the south bank of the Han River.

Yao Gu is dealing with official duties, personnel dispatching, gathering various information, and gathering food and grass. He is also busy.

"Report!" A sergeant's report suddenly sounded outside, but it was Wang Xiaozhong who asked to see him.

Yao Gu raised his head abruptly, and invited people into the lobby.The two met each other, Wang Xiaozhong sat down, and excitedly said: "So that my husband will know, the young general is patrolling the south end of the pontoon bridge today, and he noticed some noises on the other side. Even though he thought it was not appropriate for Liangshan bandits to attack in such weather, it is better to be on the safe side. I went to check, but I saw that the other army pulled out the stronghold to collect the flag, and they have already gone north."

"The Liangshan army has retreated..." Yao Gu stood up abruptly.He had just received the letter that the Huainan battlefield was defeated, Lujiang River was destroyed, and Yang Weizhong's troops suffered heavy losses, even Yang Weizhong himself was almost absent from the battle.It stands to reason that this is a good time for the Liangshan army to move south.

The Chao Gai army in Huainan can now attack Jiangzhou, forcing the Western Army to retreat; it can also approach Ezhou and let Liu Guangguo's troops be attacked on both sides. Why did they withdraw at this time?

Wang Xiaozhong was also puzzled. Seeing Yao Gu open the map with surprise on his face, he asked, "Could it be that something happened in Jiangzhou?" The army was wiped out.

In any case, the retreat of the Liangshan army was a great joy for them.

Yao Gu hurriedly sent scouts across the river to pay close attention to the Liangshan army's movements, so he must not be caught off guard by a return shot from his horse.

But strangely enough, it rains continuously in Xiangfan, and even in Ezhou, Hanyang, and Xiaogan, it also rains continuously. As well as the Jingmen Army, the water levels of Zhangshui and Jushui flowing through here have skyrocketed.

But when the rain reached Longshan in the north of Jiangling Prefecture, it stopped abruptly.

It has been raining continuously in the north of the mountain, but not in the south of the mountain.It was only a dozen miles away from Jiangling City.

The sky in Jiangling City is tile-blue and tile-blue, reflecting the bright swords and guns of the soldiers inside and outside the city.Today, Zhao Song’s imperial palace was rebuilt by the pacifier’s yamen on Jinghu North Road, and many people’s houses and mansions were demolished around it. However, Zhao Song had spare money to build palaces, and those vacant lands are still just vacant land.

If so, rumors spread in the city that the Song Dynasty had no money, and in just a few days, it evolved from the imperial court having no money to build a palace to the palace where the emperor slept because the roof leaked and had no money to repair it.This rumor is really outrageous.

But the rain that covered most of the Jingxiang River Basin, and Lu Qian's withdrawal of troops, gave this outrageous rumor a different kind of brilliance.Now some people in Jiangling City say that it is because the heavens can't stand it anymore, so they don't make it rain in Jiangling, so that the real dragon emperor can't sleep well.The reason to tell Xiangfan to go down is to prevent the Liangshan army from staying and fighting.

Wang Dingliu, who had just come out of a shop, was a little surprised. It seemed that all the rumors in Jiangling city had surfaced overnight.

In the mouths of the people, Zhao Guan's family is a real dragon, the son of heaven, the son of God, God will naturally take care of him.These people's words were probably meant to be a joke, but Wang Dingliu knew the influence of this rumor.

Sure enough, the rumors in Jiangling City quickly evolved again.

Why did the Zhao official family have no money to build the palace and still live in a dilapidated palace? Of course, the official family knew that the country's affairs were difficult recently, and they knew that they had done a lot of wrong things in the past few years. Bewitching, too extravagant and extravagant, now he has changed his past and knows how to be frugal.What's more, Zhao Guan's family is not willing to spend money, because they want to save money to raise soldiers.

Therefore, the nature of this official is still good.They were all deceived and deceived by treacherous craftsmen earlier.As for who those traitors are, of course they are Tong Guan and Gao Qi, who are already dead. Could it be that Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng are still alive?

But obviously, after such propaganda, it is the Zhao official family and the Zhao Song court who benefited.At this time, what else does Wang Dingliu not understand?Is Zhao Song playing tricks behind the rumor? The person who handles it must be his old friend Huang Chengsi.
