Two days later, outside the city of Xuanzhou.
Today's Xuanzhou City is still under the rule of the Song army, and when the Xia army came to Xuanzhou City, the defenders of Xuanzhou City did not surrender, but closed the city gates; Li De, the king of Liang, did not immediately attack Xuanzhou City, after all, Xuanzhou City was not Li De's goal, and Li De's troops at this time were not many only 30,000 cavalry, and the most critical thing for Li De now was to capture Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty.
Because it was a long-distance attack, the Xia army didn't even bring tents, and all the Xia cavalry only brought blankets, and they could lie down next to the fire and sleep directly by wrapping themselves around at night; At this time, the deputy general of Liang King Li De came to Li De's side with a bowl of meat porridge and said, "Lord Wang, you can eat something."
Li De waved his hand and said, "This king can't eat it, take it."
"The prince can't do this, if you are starved, the last general will not be able to bear the responsibility," the deputy general said to Li De, the king of Liang.
Liang Wang Li De smiled and said: "Don't worry, no one will let you take responsibility, go and let this king be quiet, this king is thinking about something." ” Two days of wild running made Liang Wang Li De not only not confused, but more sober, Liang Wang Li De is now thinking not only about how to catch Song Emperor Zhao Mao, but also Liang Wang Li De is also thinking about his own back road after taking Song Emperor Zhao Mao, this unification war is nearing the end, he is now in the right age, how to live in the second half of his life As a prince of Rong Ma for a lifetime, let Liang Wang Li De give up the military power in his hands, Liang Wang Li De is naturally unwilling.
As the son of Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo, how can he not have a little ambition Liang Wang Li De's ambition is no longer on the throne, but to have a fief of his own, as the fief of Liang King Li De should be in the Kaifeng area of the Central Plains, but now where is it governed by Yan King Li Qing, and it is the station of the Central Plains Patrol Envoy, all now Liang King Li De's heart is very chaotic, he doesn't know where he will go in the future, thinking that he can't make the decision, Li De doesn't know that his path has already been his father, The ruler of the Great Xia Empire, Emperor Xia Li Liangzuo, made the arrangements clear.
Just when Li De was thinking about it, the deputy general came to Li De again and said: "Lord, I just received a report that I found a Song cavalry south of Zhejiang, which is very similar to the Song cavalry we are looking for. ” "Is it?"
Li De stood up very excitedly and said, "How far are they from us now?"
The adjutant replied to Li De, the king of Liang: "It is estimated that there are four or five hundred li. ” Li De, the king of Liang, said with his hands behind his back: "We are cavalry, and the other party is also cavalry, if we chase like this, we will always be behind their buttocks, and even if we catch up at that time, our brothers will be exhausted." ” "Lord Wang, what do you say," the deputy general asked Li De, the king of Liang.
Li De, the king of Liang, said a few words in the ear of the lieutenant general, and then said to the lieutenant general: "Let the brothers rest first, and set off after dawn." ” "Yes, the last general ordered," the adjutant general immediately took the military order.
Besides, Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty did flee to the south of Zhejiang under the protection of the general of the guard, and after escaping here, Emperor Zhao Mao's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it is out of danger for the time being, and at this time Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty did not know that someone was chasing after him, so Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty ordered the guards to temporarily stop the rapid march, and the body of the Song Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Emperor Zhao Mao was tossed enough after a few days of rapid marching "Your Majesty's food has been prepared for you, Your Majesty, please eat," said the general as he walked over with the food.
Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty frowned when he saw the food brought by the general of the guard, and said, "Let me eat this tonight, it's not as good as what I ate yesterday."
"Your Majesty, it's good to have this to eat."
The general said to Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty: "You hurry up and finish your meal and rest, you have to hurry tomorrow."
Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty had no choice but to eat these meals, in fact, Emperor Zhao Mao's meals were already quite good, a plate of mutton, a plate of green vegetables and a bowl of white rice, and the other cavalry of the Song Army could only eat white rice and old pickles In the early morning of the next day, under the protection of the Song Emperor Zhao Mao's personal guards, he continued to flee westward, at this time the Xia army had fully crossed the Yangtze River, and surrounded the entire Jiangning Mansion, and at the same time, the Xia Army's naval division began to bombard, and the entire Jiangning Mansion was trembling, but at the insistence of Li Gang, the Jiangning Mansion still did not surrender, the city defense of the Jiangning Mansion was very tight, and there was heavy firepower to guard, and the Xia army could not enter the city for a few months.
Time passed quickly, five days passed quickly, Zhao Mao led the guards across the Le'an River and arrived at Stone Town, which is already the belly of Raozhou, located south of Poyang Lake, in Zhao Mao's opinion, this is an absolutely safe place, Xia Jun could not appear here, so Song Emperor Zhao Mao stayed in Stone Town that night, these days can make Song Emperor Zhao Mao tired, so Song Emperor Zhao Mao should have a good rest.
But when Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty woke up the next day, he was about to go out of the city but found that the stone town had been surrounded by the Xia army, and it was naturally Li De, the king of Liang, who could surround Zhao Mao, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and it turned out that Li De, the king of Liang, did not chase the Song army after discovering the traces of the Song army, so that the Song army would find it, so that the Song Emperor Zhao Mao ran faster, so the Liang King Li De led the 30,000 iron cavalry to make a detour, and finally ran to the front of the Song Emperor Zhao Mao, and blocked the Song Emperor Zhao Mao.
After besieging Stone Town, Liang King Li De did not immediately launch an attack, compared to killing Song Emperor Zhao Mao, Liang King Li De preferred to capture him alive, after all, the Great Song Dynasty has not yet fully surrendered, if the Song Emperor Zhao Mao is killed, I am afraid it will cause a greater backlash from the Song people, but if the Song Emperor Zhao Mao is captured, let him order the Song army that is still resisting to surrender, it will be tantamount to accelerating the process of the fall of the Great Song Dynasty, and will make the rebels resist in no name.
Li De, the king of Liang, took out a letter that had already been written, and then told the lieutenant general beside him: "Go and send someone to shoot this letter into the city." ” "Yes, Lord Wang," the lieutenant general immediately ordered.
After the adjutant general received the military order, he immediately sent someone to shoot the letter into the stone town, the stone town is not big but there is a low city wall to protect, but it is basically impossible to hold here, so when he saw that the outside of the city has been surrounded by the Xia army, Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty even had the heart to die, but Zhao Mao couldn't do this ruthless to himself, and he put the knife on his neck and took it down
