we should send another famous general to suppress them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping forward and bowing, Bao Zheng became solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger is useless now; they must find a way to suppress the situation in Lingnan, otherwise, if it spreads, there will be danger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Fan Xiwen now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Bao Zheng below, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but exhale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because now, he could only think of Fan Zhongyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Fan Zhongyan who set up the defenses in Western Xia back then, which blocked Li Yuanhao's powerful attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Zhen never thought that even Fan Zhongyan, without the lives of Northwest generals like Di Qing, could not save the court's face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fan Xiwen should be in Qiantang now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking with a twitching mouth, Lü Yijian truly did not want Fan Zhongyan to return to the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, there was indeed no one else to send!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him have authority over the two Guangs;

not to mention his proud martial strength, even in marching and fighting, it shouldn't be something Nong Zhigao could win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Fan Zhongyan didn't know what had happened, the Imperial City Division had already arrived without stopping to announce the decree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning that he had authority over the two Guangs, Fan Zhongyan resolutely accepted the decree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lingnan, Yangcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Nong Zhigao lost this place, Zhang Cheng subsequently led troops to take it back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The army entered the city, neat and uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the soldiers wearing sturdy armor, the common people hid in their houses to observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just at this moment, Zhang Cheng came to the government office and looked at the man before him, saying, \"Everything remains as before, but we have three chapters of law: no bullying the people...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General, please rest assured, I will definitely comply!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng, the man wearing Song Dynasty official robes hurriedly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just after the other party went down, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, \"Go, invite Di Qing over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Cousin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking with a full smile, Situ Yaozu walked out quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after night fell, the city remained as usual, but anyone who wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble would be hung on the city gate the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hall filled with laughter, the generals were all sitting in chairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to push, Di will ask for death himself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his back angrily, Di Qing couldn't help but shout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as Di Qing walked in, Zhang Cheng dispersed the dancing girls before him and said, \"General Di, it's been half a month, why haven't you surrendered yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, I, Di Qing, was born a person of the Great Song and will die a ghost of the Great Song. If you want me to surrender...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting his teeth and looking at Zhang Cheng, Di Qing couldn't help but look at the generals around him, his eyes full of anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he lose in Yongzhou back then? It was all because of these bastards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the fighting was fierce in the front, Di Qing never expected that these bastards had actually surrendered, and had surrendered a long time ago!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he still thought these people were here to support him, he didn't expect that a stick would smash into his old waist from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, a generation of famous Northern Song generals was knocked off his horse by his own people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capturing Di Qing, the happiest ones were not Zhang Cheng, but these surrendered generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Di Qing's ruthlessness was truly beyond imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't just kill enemy troops; he didn't even spare his own people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Siege failure, behead; armies not advancing, behead; delaying military opportunities, behead...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the Pingnan Army arrived, many Lingnan generals had already been taken away by Di Qing's blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the stronger Pingnan Army had arrived, whether they could win or not was one thing, but Di Qing was truly going to take their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone held the thought that rather than being killed by Di Qing on the battlefield, it was better to kill him first, and then they surrendered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a leader of troops, Di Qing's approach was not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Lingnan region indeed lacked military preparation, but Di Qing's methods were too dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could keep winning, there would be no problem, but once a change occurred, who would Di Qing cut down next?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing couldn't be thought about; once thought about, everyone felt that they would be finished sooner or later!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you loyal to the monarch, or loyal to the person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Di Qing playfully, Zhang Cheng laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Di Qing intended to answer, Zhang Cheng rested his chin and said, \"The current Great Song pays tribute to the Liao Dynasty and fears Western Xia, but there are still Han people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun waiting for the court to take them back...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Di Qing, Zhang Cheng continued, \"Guess, when will we be able to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zhang Cheng in silence, Di Qing did not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he simply didn't know how to answer this question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And looking at Di Qing, Zhang Cheng leaned down and said, \"Let me tell you, it has been exactly one hundred and eight years since the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were lost, and the elders and relatives there have already fallen for three generations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing up and roaring, Zhang Cheng looked at the generals around him and said, \"Does the Zhao Song court want us to follow along with what they dare not do? As a man, should we just watch?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what if you, Di Qing, can fight? Will the court give you military power? Will they let you go north? No, they dare not, because the current court is run by civil officials!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Di Qing, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sit down and say, \"You stay here for now; when I pacify the south and go north, you will understand who you are truly loyal to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Won't people die when two countries go to war?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his head, Di Qing looked at Zhang Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is better for our generation to die than for our descendants to die recovering Yanyun because of our mistakes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at Di Qing, Zhang Cheng became solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after hearing Zhang Cheng's words, everyone sitting below fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because who doesn't have children? Do they really want to pass the heavy responsibility of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the Zhao Song court think about it? Of course they did, but they didn't have the guts to make changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generation after generation of weakness had completely drained the courage of the Song Dynasty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we go north, Di Qing is willing to help the General!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning and leaving, Di Qing walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And looking at Di Qing's back, Zhang Cheng raised his wine cup and said, \"Within two years, we will conquer this vast land, and then recover Yanyun; we will never let our compatriots wait long!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The General is mighty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, many generals immediately roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they finally understood what the ambition of this man before them was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the Zhao Song court that sought peace through tribute, perhaps following him was the only way to truly embody the heroism of a warrior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Qiantang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Zhongyan rushed to the two Guangs without stopping, but just as he left the city, he was surrounded by people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That old geezer is Fan Zhongyan, charge, charge, charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roaring as they rushed forward, figures holding steel sabers lunged forward quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And looking at this scene, Fan Zhongyan was completely stunned, because were the robbers these days not afraid of death? Daring to kidnap a high-ranking court official?\u003C\u002Fp>",1526,"2026-06-18T01:05:47.158Z","2026-06-18T03:13:38.468Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c9ef696adafe90788d1948e40ca79d41c24d0e2d91987bed3457b074d45a7cbd","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-51","the-evil-force-roaming-the-heavens-chapter-49",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frogue-evil-forces-across-the-heavens-cover.jpg"]
