The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 68 Don't panic, it's not a big problem

Hearing this, Li Gang looked at Yang Feiyan suspiciously. Although Yang Feiyan knew him, he didn't know Yang Feiyan. He originally thought that Yang Feiyan was a woman recruited by Zhao Huan to the palace, but he didn't expect her to care about military affairs.

Li Gang ignored Yang Feiyan, but turned to look at Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, it's nothing serious, you can go down first."

"But Your Majesty, Li Baoji is really dead!" Yang Feiyan said a little excitedly, worried that something went wrong with her assassination.

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "I believe you. It seems that Li Qianshun is not a foolish emperor. This plan of alienation did not succeed."

Hearing Zhao Huan's words, Yang Feiyan felt a little more comfortable, and said, "What else does Your Majesty need to do?"

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said, "You take a vacation first, I have arrangements, and I will notify you of course!"

Yang Feiyan backed out.

Li Gang had some doubts about Yang Feiyan's identity, but at this time he pretended not to care, and said: "Your Majesty, Wu Jie has sent troops to fight, but the Xixia army has 20 people, and our army has only 6 people. Worried that Guanzhong will fall, I will open the west gate wide, and the Jin army can drive straight in from here, the situation is in danger!"

The more you are afraid of something, the more something will come. After all, in this situation, the army of the Kingdom of Jin has already made the Song Dynasty exhausted. Now with the addition of Xixia, it is conceivable that the Song Dynasty is in a difficult situation.

"Xixia!" Zhao Huan chanted Xixia's name inwardly, his teeth itching with hatred. This Xixia is an unfamiliar wolf cub. The Song Dynasty gave the coins every year, and the other party didn't know how to appreciate it. Now it is in danger in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Song Chao was stabbed fiercely.

"What is the movement of Jin Jun now?" Zhao Huan asked.

"According to the report from the spies, the Jin army drew [-] troops, led by Wan Yanchang, and rushed to Hanzhong, intending to join Xixia to encircle and wipe out our [-] troops in the west of Zhenxi!" Li Gang said.

The 30 Jinxia coalition army against the [-] Song army does not seem like a winnable war.

Zhao Huan couldn't help biting his teeth.

The art of war pays attention to three times the enemy's ability to attack the city. Now that the coalition forces are five times the enemy's, the pressure on Wu Jie can be imagined.

Zhao Huan rubbed his head, Guanzhong must not be lost, it is the west gate of the Song Dynasty, if lost, the Song Dynasty will be in danger.

"The order is that Liu Qi will lead an army of [-] from the south of the town to aid Guanzhong, guard the Jingyuan Road, and make sure that the land in Guanzhong is not lost!" Zhao Huan said to Li Gang.

Li Gang worried: "Even if Liu Qi's 30 troops are filled in, there will still be 12 to [-] troops. The disparity in strength is too great. I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend!"

"If you can't defend it, you have to defend it. If Guanzhong is lost, the west gate will be opened. Even if the east side is well-defended, what's the use?" Zhao Huan said seriously.

Li Gang naturally understood the truth of what Zhao Huan said, but this time, the situation was really too dangerous.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is better to allow the local army to recruit Xiang troops to alleviate the current shortage of troops." Li Gang suggested.

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said: "No, the soldiers are good but not many. No matter how many soldiers there are, they are just a bunch of mobs. On the contrary, they are not as powerful as an elite soldier." If there is a soldier on the battlefield who wants to escape, he will definitely flee with the soldiers next to him, creating a chain effect.

And in the same way, a soldier who is not afraid of death will lead the people around him like this. This is morale.

"But Your Majesty, our army is seriously short of strength now. If our strength cannot be effectively replenished, the situation will be dangerous!" Li Gang said worriedly.

"Then recruit the imperial army." Zhao Huan knew that if there were too many local troops, there might be a situation where the tail would be too big to lose. This was not what Zhao Huan wanted to see.

"But now the national treasury is under a lot of pressure, and recruiting the forbidden army is a huge expense. Zhu Shengfei has cried to me many times." Li Gang complained to Zhao Huan.

"Don't panic, it's not a big problem. I'll figure out a solution to the money issue. You just need to recruit soldiers." Zhao Huan said.

After Li Gang left, Zhao Huan rubbed his head, feeling a little distressed. Others travel through time, either to enjoy the glory and wealth, or to bring a system and be able to do whatever they want. He is not like him. Although he is an emperor, he is actually poor. He raised money everywhere. The palace he lived in had long wanted to be redecorated, but there was no money.

It seems that I have to ask for money from my own purse again.

Zhao Huan looked at the bamboo slices in his hand, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Zhu Yan had already surrendered, and there were three bamboo slices in his hand, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, and Li Yan.

Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng are two strong bones. Wang Fu and Cai Jing are both prime ministers, while Liang Shicheng is called a hidden prime minister even though he is an official. These two people have great influence in the court, and It is not a very wise decision to deal with them when they are still neighbors with such internal and external troubles.

Then there is only Li Yan!
Zhao Huan held Li Yan's bamboo piece in his hand and smiled slightly. It seemed that the sky really wanted to kill Li Yan.

Li Yan, like Gao Qiu, was born as an eunuch, and was the head of the palace when his cheap father was in power.

"Zhang Xin!" Zhao Huan shouted to the outside.

Zhang Xin, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, walked in from the outside.

Zhao Huan ordered: "Order to present Li Yan's crimes collected."

Zhang Xin knew that it was Zhao Huan who was going to attack Li Yan. In his position, he knew a lot of secrets, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he hurriedly withdrew and handed Zhao Huan a thick stack of pleading papers in a short while. back.

The first page of the pleadings is the summary of Tai student Chen Dong.

When Li Yan's predecessor, Yang Jian, advocated "encompassing" the land when he was alive, he wantonly invaded the land of the people and took it as his own.

After Yang Jian's death, Li Yan succeeded Yang Jian, even more than Yang Jian, and merged all the land he had previously acquired into Xichengsuo, and more than 4000 hectares of land were indirectly included in his sphere of influence. Inside.

What Li Yan did caused the people in Xicheng District to be displaced, and countless people went bankrupt. Some people were wealthy in the morning, but at night they became beggars on the street. He decisively and viciously killed thousands of innocent people, causing complaints from the people in the Northwest.

Li Yan's crime is extremely heinous, and the crime should be punished, and getting rid of it is an act that conforms to the will of the people.

Zhao Huan drew a red circle on Li Yan's bamboo piece, and murmured: "It happens that the situation in the northwest is dangerous now, so you can quell the anger of the people and restore the court's prestige."

"Come here, tell Zhao Cheng, Minister of Officials, Zhao Ding, Minister of Punishment, and Wang Shu, Minister of Dali Temple, to enter the palace!" Zhao Huan ordered.
