A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

In Youzhou City, Zhao Shu had just settled down and began to analyze the battle situation.

The messenger is introducing the story of this battle.

"In the first battle, the Duke ordered the Tianwu Army to attack. There were only five thousand men. The enemy general Xiao Ding was known as a tough general and had a hot temper, so he attacked, hoping to defeat the Tianwu Army and then return to the city. The Tianwu Army dismounted and formed a formation, and Xiao Ding's remaining He lost all caution and ordered the whole army to attack, but was caught off guard by the muskets and was in chaos. The Duke led the army to arrive and took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing..."

"The Liao army in Datong City built an inner city, fifty steps away from the outer city..."

Zhao Shu noticed that the generals looked solemn and asked, "Isn't it difficult to attack now?"

Hu Xin, the commander of the capital, said: "Your Majesty, our army has attacked the top of the outer city, and will immediately be shot down by the Liao army's bows and arrows. Even if they can withstand it, after going down, fifty steps away, the hedgehogs will gather." There are countless soldiers, and the enemy can kill them just by throwing a stone."

The envoy said: "Yes, but our army's musketeers were the first to board the city and suppressed the opponent with volleys. Then the crossbowmen boarded the city and covered the top of the city... The enemy army had no chance to raise its head later, let alone throw stones. .”

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The laughter seemed particularly abrupt, but when everyone looked, it was Cao Yi.

"Hahahaha... Ugh!" Cao Yan couldn't help but rejoiced when he learned that his good brother had made military exploits. After being stared at by everyone, he laughed a few times.

Mom sells batches!

Why are you unhappy?

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Only then did the monarch and his ministers laugh loudly.

"What a Shen An! What a Shen An!" Zhao Shu said happily: "I am still worried, but he uses the firearms so sharply. As expected, he needs to be in charge of the firearms, okay!"

"What did I say?" Zhao Shu couldn't hide his pride, "Did I say that Shen An would definitely sweep across Xijing Road soon?"

Everyone was startled and immediately began to flatter him wildly.

"Your Majesty has seen thousands of miles!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"..."

Only Cao Yi was in a daze.

Was this what Wen Yanbo said?

Can the emperor be shameless?

Look, the official is smiling so proudly, Wen Yanbo has a constipated look on his face as "a wise official"; Fu Bi is smiling, seemingly gloating...

"The road to Xijing will be followed by the road to Zhongjing. Yelu Hongji should be ready." Zhao Shu looked at the map, "When we leave Zunhua, I want to talk to Yelu Hongji."

These words were very heroic, and Wen Yanbo asked: "Guan family, do you want to wait for Shen An and Wang Qun's army to arrive?"

This is a safer approach.

Zhao Shu shook his head, "Yelu Hongji has come out. The Liao people have been aggrieved for several years. Yelu Hongji's prestige has fallen to the bottom. If he is still passively beaten this time, the morale of the Liao army will be gone.

So he will take the initiative to boost morale. If we don't move, he will attack Zunhua, and then our army will be passive. Therefore, it is better to take the initiative to meet the enemy and rely on Zunhua to protect the grain road. "

"Your Majesty is wise."

This analysis was very convincing. Zhao Shu smiled and said: "This is the truth analyzed by a group of Ziwu students."

"It's actually them?" Wen Yanbo felt a little uncomfortable.

The reconstruction of martial arts was a provocation to the old party. It would have been fine if it was done quietly, but after the reconstruction of martial arts, the momentum was astonishing and extremely unpleasant.

If you don't like it, feel bad. During this expedition, Zhao Shu ordered Cao Yan to take a group of students with him to praise paintings.

This group of students has been reading maps and news all day long, analyzing the enemy's movements based on various sources, and then giving suggestions.

"Your Majesty, why do you think these students are more useful than the officials in the Privy Council?"

Fu Bi showed off his sword!

Last time Wen Yanbo and others wanted to use his son-in-law Feng Jing to kill him, which was considered a counterattack. Later, the matter failed, but the relationship was forged.

There are many officials accompanying the Privy Council this time, and they also have the responsibility to praise the paintings, but so far, they have not seen anything outstanding.

Fu Bi's sword thrust was fast and vicious, and he could be said to be at the level of a leader.

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "There are specializations in martial arts, but martial arts is just about talking on paper."

Fu Bi smiled and said: "I heard that there are many courses in martial arts. Whether it is about painting or other things, they are all very good. The Privy Council is very impressive under the leadership of Prime Minister Wen. I think it will shine this time."

This is overt praise and covert criticism.

If the Privy Council fails in the future, Fu Bi will use these words to stab Wen Yanbo.

This is the second cut.

Zhao Shu glanced at Fu Bi and felt that it was almost done.

If he inserted it further, Wen Yanbo's body would be covered with knives, which was not very good.

"lets go."

…

Zezhou.

A huge cavalry troop was on the march.

Yelu Hongji was in the Central Army, and news kept coming.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Song has arrived at Xijin Mansion."

"Zhao Shu is here."

Yelu Hongji looked much older. He squinted at the invisible army and said: "He wanted to completely defeat Liao in one battle and restore the so-called majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but my army of 300,000 people cannot I will agree! I won’t agree!”

Xiao Mingyin, the envoy of the Northern Privy Council on the side, said: "Your Majesty, the people of Song Dynasty should also know the news of my army's expedition. I thought that the people of Song Dynasty would attack."

"Zhao Shu doesn't dare!" Yelu Ling, the envoy of the Southern Privy Council, sneered: "Does Emperor Song dare to face an army of 300,000 people? What kind of firearms are useless in front of a sea of ​​people!"

Yelu Hongji agrees with this point.

When the number of people is infinite, all weapons are in vain. Just use the sea of ​​​​people to drown them.

"The key is Xijing Road." Xiao Mingyin did not argue with Yelu Ling and said, "Xijing Road is caught in the middle by the Song people. It should be besieged at this moment."

"Of course." Xiao Ju, the king of the North Courtyard, said, "Otherwise, Emperor Song would not dare to attack."

Chen Jinhe, the king of the South Academy, said: "Xijing Road is still there. If Emperor Song dares to attack, they can hit Emperor Song from behind."

This is the current significance of the existence of Xijing Road, to contain the army of the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Hongji was excited and said: "If Emperor Song does not dare to attack, then we will drive directly to Zunhua, defeat it, and then attack accordingly."

When an army of three hundred thousand goes on an expedition, it is best to find a stronghold, whether it is to store food and grass or to hoard troops.

The army moved forward and began to camp in the afternoon.

"Pay attention to your surroundings." Yelu Hongji personally patrolled the camp and checked the situation everywhere.

"Is there any mutton?" he asked in front of a stove.

The sergeant who was cooking opened the lid of the pot and found mutton soup inside, which was fragrant.

"Okay!" For this expedition, Yelu Hongji spent countless money and food. He was fully prepared and even brought many sheep with him extravagantly.

The sheep were bleating. Now there was more tender grass on the grassland, and they were gnawing all the way. At night, part of it turned into a soup pot, and part of it was still alive.

Yelu Hongji's food is naturally different, a big bowl of stewed lamb chops.

The tender lamb chops have a bit of mutton smell. For many people, if mutton has no mutton smell, is it still called mutton?

After dinner, Yelu Hongji called people to discuss matters.

"The Song Emperor has roughly decided to lead the army, less than 200,000."

"The Song Army only has so many elites. It's useless to have more."

"It's not useless. They are following behind. They seem to be just transporting food and grass, but once they start fighting, they will turn into an army. Your Majesty, be careful of those country soldiers."

Yelu Hongji nodded, "I know. But what matters in this battle is the Song people's firearms. Their...artillery is indestructible, so once you launch an attack, you must be decisive. Even if there are wild wolves in front of you, you must rush to kill them bravely." , tell the soldiers that they must show such spirit!"

"yes!"

Everyone agreed with a roar.

"Is there any news from Xijing Road?"

"Your Majesty, not yet."

Yelu Hongji nodded and lowered his eyes slightly, with eye bubbles appearing under his eyes.

Xiao Mingyin, the Northern Privy Envoy, said: "Your Majesty, you should pay attention to your health."

"I'm in good health, I don't need you to care!" Yelu Hongji's eyes were cold, like thorns piercing me.

The emperor's body is always a topic that cannot be mentioned. The Liao Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty. Officials are proud of approving dragon scales. Bao Zheng even washed the emperor's face with saliva and became famous in one battle.

Come and try to spray saliva in Daliao?

Lao Ye promises to let you wash the face of the wild wolf.

Xiao Mingyin knew that he had violated a taboo and quickly apologized.

Chen Jinhe, the king of the South Academy, was a Han nationality. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there is no mention of Shen An in the news."

Yelu Hongji's eyebrows skipped a beat and he threw out the teacup in his hand.

Boom!

Chen Jinhe was hit in the face and grinned from the heat, but he didn't dare to scream.

Yelu Hongji said coldly: "What? Are you afraid of him? Are you afraid of confronting him?"

Every time Shen An's name was mentioned, UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.net Yelu Hongji would become furious. This time, he couldn't hold back his anger and even took action.

Chen Jinhe knelt down and said, "I... don't dare. If possible, I am willing to charge into the battle and kill Shen An."

Yelu Hongji said calmly: "If you can kill him, what if I let you manage the government?"

This is a promise. Whoever kills Shen An will be inferior to one person in Daliao and superior to ten thousand people.

Xiao Ju next to him sneered: "If he can kill Shen An, I can kill Zhao Shu!"

Yelu Hongji waved his hand, and after the ministers left, he asked in a deep voice: "How about that mother and son?"

A dark figure quietly appeared behind him, "The empress is still reading and playing the piano in the palace, and the prince is a little afraid."

"I know." Yelu Hongji stood up and went to rest.

Of course there is no bed, but a few layers of leather underneath will be very warm.

He was lying on it, covered with a smuggled Song Dynasty quilt, but what he was thinking about was Zhongjing City.

There, he left enough means. If the prince and queen dare to rebel...

"Then kill them!"

At this time, the emperor basically did not recognize his relatives and only had power in his eyes.

He gradually fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but there were footsteps outside.

Yelu Hongji opened his eyes, quietly pulled out the long knife, then stood up and walked behind the curtain of the tent.

"Your Majesty, news from Xijing Road!"

Yelu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come in!"

The eunuch came in first. He lit a candle and then stepped aside.

A messenger came in, knelt down and wept.

Yelu Hongji felt cold in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Xijing Road...is lost!"

…

Good night.
