The system has to be used even if it is pulled
Chapter 395 Saving Bianliang
The next morning, Li Gang entered the court and walked to the Meridian Gate. He saw the Imperial Guards ready to go and the Emperor's carriage was also ready.
Li Gang sighed helplessly, knowing that Zhao Huan had changed his mind again. He anxiously asked the guards loudly: "Are you willing to stay and guard the ancestral temple, or are you willing to flee with the emperor?"
The guards answered in unison: "Our parents and wives are here, and we are willing to defend the capital to the death!"
After hearing the reply from the imperial guards, Li Gang hurried into the palace and said to Zhao Huan, "Your Majesty has agreed to stay, why are you suddenly leaving? The parents and wives of the six armies are all here, willing to defend the city to the death. Your Majesty forced them to escort you away, if they scatter back to the capital, who will protect you? Moreover, the Jin soldiers are very close, and if they find out that the carriage has not gone far, how can they resist them if they chase after you with strong horses? Now that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has 300,000 troops to join the emperor, we only need to hold out for a few days to defeat the Jin army."
Zhao Huan finally came to his senses and ordered the queen to be recalled.
In order to stabilize people's hearts, Li Gang immediately announced to the army and civilians: "The emperor has made up his mind and is determined to defend the city. Anyone who dares to talk about leaving the capital and disturbing people's hearts will be executed!"
While Li Gang was deploying troops to defend the city, the Jin army arrived at Moutuogang, northwest of the capital. Moutuogang was where the Song army raised horses. Twenty thousand military horses and a large amount of fodder fell into the hands of the Jin army.
Zhao Huan was shocked when he heard the news and hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Li Bangyan said: "The capital has few soldiers and generals, and the troops to support the king cannot arrive in time. There is no other way except to cede land and seek peace."
Li Gang retorted: "The Jin soldiers are alone and deep in the enemy's territory, with little food and grass. We don't need to be so afraid of them. If the battle goes against us, we can close the city and defend it. At the same time, we should urge all the troops to come quickly. Then we can defeat the Jin army by attacking from both inside and outside. We must not cede land to seek peace!"
At this time, the Jin soldiers had set up camp and were challenging Zhao Huan outside the city. Zhao Huan felt completely stunned.
Seeing Song Qinzong become like this, Li Gang stopped talking, hurriedly left the hall, and went to the city gate to command.
When Li Gang climbed up to the city gate, he saw the Jin army outside the city, each doing their own job, and Wanyan Zonghan was challenging them outside the city.
However, no one from the Song Dynasty went out to fight. Li Gang knew that this would not work as no one would go out to fight and their morale would be low. He was ready to ask the soldiers around him to put on armor for him, but then he heard a cannon shot from the east of the city. The Jin army that was besieging the city retreated and looked at the east of the city cautiously.
In the distance, I saw a large flag with the word "Chu" fluttering in the wind, and countless soldiers maintaining their formation, winding for more than ten miles.
Li Gang was overjoyed, knowing that Zhao Yuanlang had arrived, and immediately shouted, "Beat the drums to help the King of Chu!"
The soldiers on the city wall who were originally in panic also felt relieved. Others might not know, but how could they not know that Zhao Yuanlang, the King of Chu of the Song Dynasty, fought wars in the south and the north, wiped out the four bandits, overthrew the Liao Dynasty, and his personal bravery was invincible in the world.
For a moment, the entire Bianliang City was filled with the sound of drums, and countless soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, watching the army slowly approaching from a distance.
Half an hour later, the army was getting closer, and next to the big flag was the King of Chu.
Wanyan Zongmou and Wanyan Zongbing frowned. They were in trouble. They thought Fang La had held Zhao Yuanlang back, but they didn't expect him to come back.
While Wanyan Zongmou was thinking, he saw Wanyan Zongbing beside him leading two thousand iron floats to rush out.
"Hey! I am Wanyan Zongbing of the Great Jin. Zhao Yuanlang, why don't you dismount and die quickly?"
Zhao Yuanlang frowned as he looked at Wanyan Zongbing who came out, rode his horse forward, and hit Wanyan Zongbing on the head with the chain meteor hammer in his hand.
Wanyan Zongbing had long known that he was no match for Zhao Yuanlang's chain-rod meteor hammer, so he prepared to fight him in a mobile fight. However, before he could make a move, Zhao Yuanlang's chain-rod meteor hammer fell on his head.
Wanyan Zongbing, who would later become famous, immediately became a coward and fell from power.
"You can't even take one blow from me, yet you dare to come and challenge me. Wanyan Zongmou, a barbarian from the border, I advise you to lay down your weapons and surrender immediately, otherwise you will end up like Wanyan Zongbing!" After Zhao Yuanlang finished speaking, he turned around and hit Wanyan Zongbing, who was lying on the ground, with a chain-bar meteor hammer. Wanyan Zongbing's body was smashed with blood and his chest was flattened.
Wanyan Zongmou was furious when he saw Wanyan Zongbing's death, but faced with Zhao Yuanlang's military force, he suppressed his anger and called off his troops.
On the city wall, Li Gang saw Zhao Yuanlang easily smash Wanyan Zongbing to death with a hammer, forcing Wanyan Zongwang to call off the troops. He immediately shouted happily: "Beat the drums, cheer for the King of Chu!"
At this time, Li Bangyan came hurriedly with the imperial edict. Seeing that the Jin army had withdrawn and Zhao Yuanlang's army had arrived at the city, he hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty has ordered: The army of the King of Chu will camp outside the city, and the King of Chu is only allowed to enter the city with 100 soldiers."
Li Gang frowned and wanted to say something, but when he looked at Zhao Yuanlang's 300,000 troops outside the city, he said nothing. There were too many people, and if the King of Chu had any bad intentions, no one could afford it.
"Okay. Once I settle the army, I'll go into the city."
After Zhao Yuanlang had stationed his army outside the city, he led more than a hundred cavalrymen to the city gate. Li Bangyan on the city wall saw that Zhao Yuanlang indeed led only more than a hundred people, and immediately shouted: "Open the city gate."
The city gate was opened, and Li Bangyan led a dozen officials to wait at the gate. Zhao Yuanlang led his troops to the gate but did not move forward.
"Why doesn't the King of Chu move forward?" Li Bangyan asked puzzledly.
"Waiting for my army, of course."
What? Li Bangyan hurriedly looked outside the city, and saw tens of thousands of cavalrymen riding their horses and rushing towards the city gate, with a dense army behind them.
"You want to rebel! Close the city gates quickly, close the city gates quickly, and kill him if you don't surrender!" Li Bangyan was shocked and angry.
"Please be cautious, King Chu!" Li Gang was also extremely frightened.
The Imperial Guards immediately rushed towards Zhao Yuanlang, but Zhao Yuanlang laughed loudly, rode his horse forward, and swung the chain meteor hammer in his hand so fiercely that countless Imperial Guards were killed and the city gate could not be closed.
It's over! Li Bangyan was trembling with fear because Zhao Yuanlang's cavalry had already rushed in.
"Why is the King of Chu plotting a rebellion?" Although Li Gang was frightened, he still stood up straight and faced Zhao Yuanlang.
"Where are the three dragon generals?"
Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong and Du Fu immediately rode forward.
"The Emperor has decreed that Prince Zhao Yuanlang of Chu will be the governor of all affairs in Bianliang and be given the title of Grand Marshal of the National Army. If he disobeys, he will be executed immediately without mercy."
"What? The emperor is back? Since it is the emperor's order, we will definitely obey it." Li Bangyan was no longer afraid when he heard that Song Huizong had returned. Li Gang looked at Li Bangyan with contempt, thinking in his heart, how could Song Huizong come back.
"The Emperor, the Grand Tutor, and the Privy Councilor are escorted by my three Tiger Generals in the center. The Six Bear Generals will take the imperial edict and immediately lead the troops to take over the defense of Bianliang City and the Imperial Palace. Anyone who disobeys will be killed immediately. As for you gentlemen, will you wait here for the Emperor's carriage or come with me out of the city to wipe out the enemy?"
"I'll wait for the emperor to arrive." Li Bangyan said immediately.
Soon, Song Huizong entered the city of Bianliang under the escort of the Three Tiger Generals. He stopped at the city gate and Li Bangyan wanted to pay him a visit, but was stopped by the Three Dragon Generals.
Something is going to happen. The emperor may want to seize power from your majesty. The emperor is not seeing anyone and is not leaving. This is forcing your majesty to come and greet him. Li Bangyan is not stupid. He thinks that Song Huizong, who has the support of Zhao Yuanlang, must be like this, so he follows behind the carriage like a pug.
Is that really the case? Li Gang frowned and followed the carriage. Everything was strange. The emperor seemed threatened. Forget it. It rains and my mother gets married. It's their Zhao family's business anyway.
