A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The winter in Bianliang is very cold this year, and it has snowed twice in a row.

But Bianliang City is the capital city after all, and the roads in the city have been cleared. On this day, I rode into the city along the clean streets, and then went straight to the imperial city.

Fu Bi happened to come out of the political hall. When he saw two people running towards him with messengers, he shouted, "What's the matter?"

This is the Prime Minister. The messenger did not hide anything and said: "Urgent report from Hedong Road, Fuzhou is in danger."

"Bring it!"

Fu Bi turned around and went to the palace, reading the emergency report as he walked.

"The Xixia people besieged Fuzhou City, but there were not many people. Shen An said it was a diversion. Later it was found out that the Xixia people were besieging Baisheng Village, and Shen An encouraged Zhe Jizu to go out to rescue... There were only two thousand people left in Fuzhou City. ."

Damn it!

Fu Bi couldn't help but panic when he saw this. He quickened his pace and left the messenger and others behind in a few seconds.

The chamberlain beside him could hardly keep up with the old man's pace, so he panted and said, "Fu Xiang, slow down, slow down."

Fu Bi felt the wind blowing at his feet and said, "That's Fuzhou. Once Fuzhou is lost, the northwest will be unrest from now on!"

Linfu Road was the two nails driven by the Song Dynasty on the other side of the Yellow River, which made the Xixia people uncomfortable.

Now something went wrong in Fuzhou, which made Fu Bi wish he could grow wings under his armpits and fly to Fuzhou, then grab Shen An and slap him half to death.

When he saw Zhao Zhen, he hurriedly said: "Guan family, urgent report from Hedong Road. Shen An encouraged Zhe Jizu to attack... I'm afraid he is in danger."

Zhao Zhen was thinking about the situation this year, and his expression changed when he heard this, "What kind of attack? Isn't it an attack by Xixia people?"

He sent Shen An there for the purpose of sharpening his skills, but now something big happened...

Fu Bi smiled bitterly and said: "They found out that the enemy was besieging Baisheng Village, but they didn't know the enemy's situation, so Shen An encouraged Zhe Jizu to attack..."

"The enemy's situation is unknown... This is a big taboo!" Fu Bi was already heartbroken.

Zhao Zhen covered his forehead and said, "Why do you underestimate the enemy so much?"

No matter how stupid you are, you know that you have to find out the enemy's situation before attacking, but Shen An actually dared to encourage Zhe Jizu to attack. If he encountered an enemy ambush...

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but think of the defeat of Haoshuichuan that year. It was also a rash attack, and the result was that he never came back.

Later, the prime ministers and assistants arrived, and everyone discussed for a while. Han Qi suggested that troops should be mobilized immediately for reinforcements.

"... Even if Fuzhou is lost, the Song Dynasty will take him back!"

Han Qi was well aware of the impact of losing Fuzhou on the Song Dynasty, so he was very determined to take the lead.

Song Xiang hesitated and said: "If this is the case... Xixia will definitely increase its troops, and there will be another war in the northwest."

Northwest War...

Han Qi lowered his head slightly, "If Fuzhou is lost, Linzhou will definitely not survive. Then Hedong will face the Xixia cavalry directly. Your Majesty, from now on it will be the Xixia people on the left and the Liao people on the right. The surrounding areas of the Song Dynasty are in danger."

The DPRK and China have discussed the significance of the existence of Linfu Road many times. Some people suggested canceling it, withdrawing all the roads to Hedong Road, and leaving the other side of the Yellow River to the opponent.

This attitude originated from the isolation of Linfu Road. In order to protect Linfu Road, the Song Dynasty had to pay a lot of materials every year, and some people felt that it was not worth it.

But Han Qi didn't think so.

"When I was in the northwest, I was well aware of the pincer effect of Linfu Road on Xixia, which was equivalent to a hundred thousand troops. If something happens, Linfu Road will bear the brunt, allowing Hedong Road to calmly gather defense... Don't underestimate it!"

Zeng Gongliang felt that Han Qi was a little too excited today, "But they are reckless! Zhe Jizu didn't look like he was going to do it at all. He was actually encouraged by Shen An's words. If there was a big defeat, the prefecture would not be safe, and the court would not be safe. Many years of investment will be wiped out.”

Logically speaking, Han Qi and Shen An are old enemies, so he should agree with this view.

But he shook his head and said: "Once Baisheng Village is lost, Fuzhou will be in trouble. If someone is there, we have to rescue him!"

Well!

The prime ministers and assistants all looked at him curiously, and even Zhao Zhen found it very strange.

This person is so...

How could he wear the same pants as Shen An?

Han Qi's old face turned red when he was looked at by these eyes, and then he said plausibly: "I have been thinking about the northwest side recently, and I have a lot of experience."

Zhao Zhen said with great interest: "Let Han Qing tell you."

Han Qi, a famous general of the Song Dynasty, said loudly: "If Baisheng Village is destroyed, the morale of Linfu Road will be completely depleted, and Fuzhou will not send help, the Xixia people will know what we are thinking..."

timid!

Both the king and his ministers were silent, feeling that their faces were dull.

Han Qi continued: "Once Fuzhou does not send help, the Xixia people will definitely attack Zhenchuan Fort and cut off the communication between Fuzhou and Linzhou in one fell swoop. Zhenchuan Fort is located in the west ridge of Tumaochuan, guarding Sailing and Sansongmu. Once the passage is lost, the enemy troops can rush in, and Linzhou is in danger!"

He said with bright eyes: "Your Majesty, it is inevitable to rescue Baisheng Village. Otherwise, Fuzhou will be fine, but Linzhou's food route will be cut off."

Zhao Zhen was horrified and said: "Thankfully Han Qing explained it, otherwise I would have made a big mistake..."

Fu Bi also held up his hand and said, "Prime Minister Han has great foresight, I admire him."

This was regarded as a relief for Shen An. After Han Qi finished speaking, he felt a little regretful. Seeing that the ministers and ministers were respectful, he couldn't help but feel proud, so he said: "It's just a small thing, it's just a small thing!"

He couldn't help but think of the hard work he had done during this period of time at home, holding a candle, checking the terrain of the northwest, and calculating various changes. At this moment, all these hard work have been rewarded.

So comfortable!

He was like getting a bowl of ice water when it was extremely hot, and felt extremely refreshed.

He touched the bags under his eyes, feeling a little annoyed and planning to stop staying up late from today on.

Fu Bi felt that Han Qi's analysis was correct, but another worry couldn't help but arise in his mind.

"But there are not many troops in Fuzhou. If the enemy forces attack halfway..."

The Song Dynasty's field battles could only be defensive, but Zhejizu's troops were insufficient. Once he was besieged, it was almost certain that the entire army would be annihilated.

"The enemy has many cavalry, coming and going like the wind, Zhe Jizu's side...hey!"

As an envoy to the Privy Council, Song Xiang could not say those two words.

Reckless!

Can't you figure out the enemy's situation first?

Even if Baisheng Village is lost, it’s still good as long as we know the enemy’s situation! At that time, you can adapt accordingly according to the enemy's situation.

In the eyes of those in power, human life is just a cold number. They only have goals and the overall situation in their eyes.

Zhao Zhen said with a headache: "Fortunately, Shen An is here..."

Only then did Fu Bi realize that he had been holding the memorial, so he handed the memorial to Chen Zhongheng, and then said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Shen An encouraged Zhejizu, and he even followed the Mangshan Army."

Zhao Zhen felt like he had a splitting headache. He said angrily: "You want to be strong even if you don't have the strength to restrain a chicken. This is... this is youthful ignorance, ignorance!"

He slapped his thigh, feeling really heartbroken.

Although that young man is often impulsive and reckless, he is a minister he likes. He just waits for some time to hone his skills and he will gradually become useful.

But after finally letting him out once, he actually started having fun.

You can have fun, you dare to experience the battle...

Have you ever killed anyone?

Zhao Zhen was sad and felt that all his good intentions were in vain.

…

At Bao's house, Guoguo stood in front of the snowman and muttered. Aunt Chen got closer and heard what she said.

"You are my brother. My brother is the best..." She gently touched the snowman's head.

"...Brother hasn't come home yet...Brother said he wanted to celebrate the New Year together. Brother...Brother lied..."

Tears slowly flowed down from those big eyes, and then dripped on the shoes.

Aunt Chen doesn't know what Chinese New Year is, but she feels a little sad.

…

In the Runan County Prince's Mansion, Zhao Yunrang was lying on the couch, looking extremely thin.

His eyes were glassy and his breathing was weak.

Zhao Zongshi leaned over and asked, "Dad, please have something to eat."

Since five days ago, Zhao Yunrang said that he could not eat. At first, his family thought he just had a bad appetite, but they didn't expect that he would stop eating every day and lose weight day by day.

The doctor was outside the ward at the moment, and Zhao Zhongzhen was asking: "What is wrong with me, Wengweng?"

I don't know which doctor this is. All the famous doctors in Bianliang City were invited to see him, but they all said that Zhao Yunrang was hopeless.

"...Prince, this is...this is..."

The doctors had different opinions, which seemed to Zhao Zhongzhen to be all kinds of deception.

But this doctor was sincere. He said in a panic: "This villain is not good at medical skills."

The old servant at the side said: "You can tell the truth."

Everyone is cheating, it's rare to meet an honest person, the old servant wants to take the opportunity to find out...

The doctor sighed: "The king's health used to be very good..."

"Gone?"

The old servant asked with a glare.

The doctor nodded and said, "Yes."

The old servant got angry and said, "I originally said I would pay more for the consultation, but that's all. Send me away now."

Zhao Zhongzhen walked to the door with a heavy face and heard Zhao Yunrang talking inside.

"...Many things in the palace are...all fake, but you have to be able to pretend..."

Zhao Yunrang looked at Zhao Zongshi with a loving face, took a breath, and whispered: "Thirteenth Lang, that is a place that eats people, but you don't want to go..."

Zhao Zongshi held his hand and choked with sobs: "Dad, please get well. My child is willing to go. My child is willing to go."

Zhao Yunrang shook his head and said: "My father dreamed of you Weng Weng last night, and he came to pick me up... You have to be well..."

This is a bad sign.

Zhao Zongshi turned away, tears slowly flowing down.

"Remember when you were young... you were well-behaved and knew how to call daddy, and you were more sensible than your brothers..."

Zhao Zongshi's mother, Ren, was a concubine, so her status was naturally inferior to that of her other sons. At that time, mother and son were often treated coldly in the prince's palace, so Zhao Zongshi became sensible early.

"But the official took you in. Daddy couldn't sleep at night because he was afraid that you would offend him...Zhao Zhen was afraid that he would be tortured by others... Daddy... regretted it at that time!"

"Daddy!"

Zhao Zongshi choked up and said: "The child didn't suffer in it..."

He thought of the days in the palace where no one cared about him or cared about him.

The so-called backup prince is just a dream.

And Queen Cao’s so-called raising...

Zhao Zongshi lowered his head and then reached out to wipe away his tears. He didn't want to recall those cold memories, let alone let his father know about them.

"Nonsense... nonsense!"

Zhao Yunrang gasped and said: "You are not his son, how could he kiss you..."

He patted the back of Zhao Zongshi's hand and said with a smile: "My son is going to enter the palace... to be the emperor... to make his father happy..."

His head tilted slowly, UU reading www.uukanshu.net Zhao Zongshi shouted: "Daddy! Daddy!"

Amidst the shouting, Zhao Zhongzhen rushed in.

He felt for his pulse and then shouted: "Weng Weng is still here!"

Zhao Zongshi stretched out his hand to explore Zhao Yunrang's nose and said: "My breathing is weak, let the doctor come!"

Those children and grandchildren were driven out by Zhao Yunrang just now, but now they couldn't bear it anymore and they all poured in...

At this moment, the three knights rushed into Bianliang City...

Shen An patted the snow on his head and said, "Zun Dao, you and Chen Luo take your things home first, and don't show the impeachment to those people."

"yes."

Shen An said proudly: "There are many children's things inside. The little girl will definitely be happy. Wait until I come out of the palace to pick her up."

Zhe Kexing and Chen Luo agreed, then took the big baggage brought by Shen An and went to Yulin Lane.
