Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1374

"Officials, the king's place is quite strange. The eldest son, the Duke, said that the King occasionally feels unwell, and the Duke will take charge of everything." Li Zong hesitated to express his doubts, hoping that Zhao Chen could understand, some words cannot be said too clearly, let himself Lose the opportunity to take the initiative to defend.

"Oh, okay, I see." Zhao Chen didn't feel anything, and waved Li Zong to step back, wanting to be quiet.

Li Zong rolled his eyes, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and savored what Wan Tuyu whispered to him over and over again, feeling really uneasy in his heart.

At this time, Cai Yi and Shen Mo didn't notice anything wrong. They still followed Wang Xiu's deployment to securely control the entire empire. At the same time, they guarded against Qin Hui, a white-eyed wolf, and let this huge war machine slowly start.

Qin Hui was promoted to supervise the revision of national history and became the prime minister, but there was a gap in his relationship with Zhao Gou, which was inevitable.

He is already an extremely human minister, so he naturally has his own ideas. Facing the weak emperor and the young prince Jian Guo, even if Wang Xiu's power is in full swing, he can still maximize his interests in the cracks.No matter how bad it is, you can rely on the emperor or prince to become the leader of emerging political forces.

On the contrary, a vassal king in his prime, who came to power through a coup, must be trembling, his real power will definitely be compressed to the extreme, and he might become a victim. point.

why?Last time, Zhao Roujia thought that Lin Yifei disgusted the Wang family, and such childish methods made him despise him even more. Even if he wanted to make a mistake, he would make a mistake and let his son marry a lady of the Wang family, but he was awakened by Wang's words. Wang Xiu is so funny?Even if one's own son wins a Jinshi, he is still an illegitimate child, and this will cut off the way of marriage.

I haven't gotten any response from Wang Xiu. It should be said that Wang Xiu kept her mouth shut. This is what worries people the most.

On the contrary, it is mutual benefit and reciprocity. Dividing Wang Xiu's power or destroying it is originally incompatible. Zhao Roujia's bad move made him feel suspicious, and the two sides became more alienated. Although Zhao Gou's power was divided, it also made him feel bad Wang Xiu felt suspicious.

"Old man, what are you scheming about? I've made it clear to you, don't try to trick Miss Wang's family anymore, that foreigner is not blessed to enjoy it." When Wang came in, she saw Qin Hui pondering while serving tea, and couldn't help but groan. sound reminder.

"What nonsense the mother-in-law said, it's just a farce. Although the Wang family didn't make a sound, they didn't care too much. They also understand people." Qin Hui said calmly, but his heart was uneasy.

"As long as you understand, it's all right. Seeing that they are making a lot of noise and finally becoming victims, don't get yourself involved." Wang said with a curl of her lips.

In her eyes, although Lin Yifei's incident was embarrassing, it was not a bad thing. Making Qin Hui the victim could draw a clear line between him and the royal forces, so that he could stand aloof from the matter and become an intermediate force to balance the forces of all parties.Li Guang is the main task of the centrists, but not as important as Qin Hui.

Qin Hui coughed twice in embarrassment, twitched his beard and half closed his eyes, Wang Xiu resigned boldly and recommended him to be prime minister, which was equivalent to destroying his relationship with Zhao Gou, and Zhao Roujia's child's play behavior made him even more alienated from Zhao Gou , It is equivalent to re-establishing one's own position, how can the impartial Prime Minister of Song Dynasty fall into it, at most pretend to be deaf and dumb to the struggle between the two sides, and gain benefits from it.

"Tomorrow, the Xiu Girls' Academy will be established, and I have to accompany the empress to celebrate it. By the way, I have to talk to Mrs. Junguo for you."

"Trouble." Qin Hui felt a headache, stood up and shook his sleeves.

"It's not for you, I said old man...how did you go, come back to me."

"What else is there?" Qin Hui, who had just arrived at the door, had to stop.

"Take care of your niece, don't let him hook up with others and ruin my family's good affairs." Wang said angrily.

Qin Hui's expression changed, he opened his mouth just as he was about to say something, and finally walked away.

Ande County, an important city in Dezhou, Hebei, is the stronghold for the Jin army to go south, and it is also an important pass defense. If Guantao is the liaison hub of the Jin army on the southern line, then Ande County is the support base ahead.

While Wushu went south to harass, he also attached great importance to defensive operations, especially Zhang Qiyuan's defection brought a lot of latest military information, which made him pay special attention to defense, and the forces in the north and south changed.He carried out a large-scale clarification and repair of important border defenses. Dezhou not only stationed the Han army, but also the defense forces under the jurisdiction of the Commanding Army Division, as well as the three Meng'an composed of Jurchen and Xi people.

Wang De's Xuanwu Army took Bozhou with the cooperation of Zhenwu Army, which not only exposed the daimyo to the Song army, but also made Dezhou too abrupt.

The defenders immediately concentrated their forces on Ande County, gave up some unimportant areas, and relied on customs defenses to hold back the Song army for a long time and win the chance for the main force of the Jin army.

The county seat of Ande County is also worthy of its name. The design of the city is as complex and strong as that of the famous Yuancheng.

Now that the Song army had successively won the victories in Jinzhou, Bozhou, and Junzhou, Niu Gao was unwilling to be outdone and organized his troops to attack continuously.Of course, in addition to his own troops, there are also [-] township troops participating in the battle. These are not the troops in charge of transportation, but the township troops who are qualified for inspection. They definitely have considerable combat effectiveness. , which shows the determination to capture Ander.

The Song army practiced elite soldiers, and the forbidden army was expanded during the war. It is planned to have less than 30 troops in battle. Those troops that are not included in the forbidden army will naturally form the township army first, which saves a lot of military expenses. , The mature troops will serve as the supplementary force of the imperial army.

The battle was quite tragic from the beginning, Niu Gao's style was quite strong, he destroyed more than [-] fortresses, and directly arrived at the county town.

Although the city of Ande County is extremely strong, it is facing the Song army with the most experience in siege. Under the impact of heavy catapults and iron shells, many city walls have cracks, but they still have to bear the pressure. The casualties were heavy.

A Dian is frowning. As a temporarily appointed military commander, he faced a powerful attack from the Song army less than a month after he took office. The fate is very sad. If he knew that he would not take office if he was killed, he would still have to curry favor with Digunai. Official position, lifting a rock to drop on his own feet.

He hid behind the crenels on the city gate and observed through the thick battlements. This kind of observation is not comfortable, and the field of vision is not wide, but there is no way. After being burned, the city no longer dared to have a tall and obvious fixed sign, and if you were not careful, you would be shot by the bed crossbow.

The middle-level Jurchen generals generally lack the strong will of their predecessors.
