Wen Yanbo absolutely did not want to see the war expand, which was completely inconsistent with his compromise strategy.
In his opinion, this is just Xixia trying to take advantage of the opportunity, and just push them back. If it doesn't work, what if Fengzhou is temporarily handed over to them. The most important thing now is to let Liaomeng
Keep fighting and continue to weaken their strength.
What Gu Jin wanted was not to fight a big war, otherwise the treasury would be emptied out again, which was not what he wanted to see.
This was actually the intention of the Third Commander Song Chu, but before he could step forward, Gu Jin got the better of him.
As Wen Yanbo, Wang Deyong and others came out to express their opinions one after another, the two major forces merged together, and their voices became the mainstream. Zhao Zhen, without a better way, agreed to their strategy and issued an order to
Wang Xin led the Hebei Route Army to rescue Fugu City.
It can be said that at this time, the gentlemen in the court had not yet seen the seriousness of the matter, and thought that their only enemy was Xixia.
The order was issued and was delivered to General Wang Xin at a speed of eight hundred miles. When he learned that the imperial court had not sent reinforcements to him, Wang Xin became anxious.
He can lead the army to Fugu City, but while he is gone, what if the Liao soldiers invade from the north?
Can the Xiang army resist the Liao invasion in these places?
Although he was worried, but the imperial order was overwhelming, Wang Xin had to lead the main army from Zhending to the direction of Fugu City.
...
To the north of the Song Dynasty, Yanmen Mountain.
Twenty thousand Mongolian army vanguard cavalry took advantage of Dongshengzhou, Shuozhou and other places and suddenly appeared in front of Yanmen Mountain.
There were only two hundred Song soldiers guarding here. They were completely unprepared and were either killed or captured.
After learning from the prisoners that Fengzhou and Fuzhou had been conquered by Xixia, the Song Dynasty court did not send any reinforcements. Instead, Wang Xin, the general who guarded the north of Hebei Road, led troops to rush for reinforcements.
This news made the Mongolian vanguard general Alatan overjoyed.
The Song Army did not send reinforcements, but instead mobilized the Hebei Route Army. Doesn't this prove that the northern part of the Song Dynasty is empty? If they suddenly rush here, wouldn't it be like a fish entering the sea, unstoppable?
"Order the army to take a good rest first and set out in the evening. The target is Xixing Village and Yanmen Village. We will destroy both villages in one night, hahaha." Alatan was overjoyed and issued a new military order.
Wang Xin was completely unaware of all this and still led the main army straight to Fugu City.
This time, he led only 80,000 troops.
Everyone thought he had 100,000 troops, but the actual number was only 80,000. This was also due to the fact that the imperial court was always late in allocating pay, and the 20,000 old and weak men had already been disbanded.
But in his opinion, even if he only has 80,000 people, he is still equal to the Xixia Army. With the help of the local state army, it is enough to block the Xixia Army's advance.
Whether it was self-confidence or lack of troops to mobilize, Wang Xin and his army were on the road day and night. In only three days, he led the vanguard of the army to Ninghua City.
The distance from Ninghua to Fugu City is not far away. It can be reached in one and a half days at a faster time, or in two to three days at a slower time. But at this time, very unfavorable news came one after another.
Fugu City was destroyed.
Fu Yin fled out of the city first, causing chaos in the city, and Xixia took the opportunity to launch an attack.
The remaining Baode troops retreated and rushed towards Langu Castle.
At the same time, an army of Mongolian cavalry suddenly appeared behind Ninghua City. They raided Yanmen in Daizhou and were now heading towards Nao County, with the intention of cutting off the retreat of Wang Xin's army.
"Gucheng Governor deserves death!"
"Those conservatives and compromise ministers in the court should be damned!"
"Liao people deserve to die!"
In anger, Wang Xin cursed several times. But then he lamented and ordered the army to station in Ninghua City on the spot. He divided his troops and went all the way to Langu City. At the same time, he ordered the Kelan army guarding there to cooperate in the defense.
The two armies temporarily formed an angle to defend the Xixia army in front and the Meng cavalry who might appear behind them at any time.
After issuing the military order, Wang Xin wrote a letter in his own hand, asking people to rush to Bianliang City at an accelerated speed of 800 miles to request reinforcements.
Wang Xin finally figured it out. The Liao people had diverted the trouble of Mengqi to the east. Next, the Song Dynasty would face the two forces of Xixia and Mongolia.
No! Once the Song Dynasty fails to cope well and the Liao people see an opportunity to take advantage of it, the Liao people will also intervene. Then facing a three-party attack, the Song Dynasty will be really in danger.
I hope, I hope the ministers in the court wake up. If they don't make the right decision this time, the Song Dynasty may face the danger of national destruction.
...
Bianliang City.
News of Manmeng's entry finally came.
The whole city was shaken, and the government and the public were shaken.
This time, Zhao Zhen did not hold any small court meeting, and directly called for a big meeting. All officials above the sixth rank in Beijing came to the Chui Gong Hall to discuss matters. Anyone who did not come, whether they were real officials or casual officials, would be punished.
"
God bless the alley.
In the backyard of Su Mansion, Yue Siling looked at Su Shi who was wearing a purple official robe with a smile, "Master, you look so good no matter what you wear."
"Hey, how many times have I said that a woman can be described as good-looking, and a man can be described as handsome." Su Shi said with a smile. But then he looked towards the north.
The sudden Liao-Mongolia War does not exist in history.
Because of his own appearance, history has completely gone awry, leaving Su Shi without any advantage in this regard.
Fortunately, the system is still there, and this is Su Shi's greatest asset.
The officials have ordered that tomorrow morning, all officials of the sixth rank and above in Beijing will attend the imperial meeting. Although Su Shi has a leg problem, even if he does not go, the officials will not say anything, but others do not think so. Now is the time when the state
In times of crisis, who knows if there is a villain who can offer advice?
In order not to give others a chance to attack him, Su Shi decided to attend. He himself was also a little curious about the Great Court Meeting.
Knowing that Su Shi would attend the court meeting tomorrow, Yue Siling found the brand-new set of fourth-grade official uniforms, helped Su Shi put them on personally, and then looked at them with a smile.
Speaking of which, ever since Yue Siling came to Su Shi's side, her little life has made her satisfied. The only flaw is that Su Shi has not wanted her now.
Before becoming Su Shi's person, Yue Siling just felt a little unruly in her heart. During the days when Ye Lengchan lived in the backyard, the two of them had become familiar with each other, and she blushed and asked this question.
Ye Lengchan laughed loudly after hearing this, and then gave Yue Siling a trick, which was to wear as little clothing as possible, especially at night when he was hanging around in front of Su Shi. By the way, there were many kinds of things in Su's mansion that could not be seen from the outside.
Plant perfume and apply more of it. There is no man who doesn’t do this.
These words were heard in Yue Siling's ears and were regarded as truth. After Ye Lengchan recovered from her injury, she began to implement these plans. From time to time, she would dress coolly and appear in front of Su Shi at night.
Just once or twice, Su Shi was curious at first, but later she simply said that the other party was disturbing her, and even kicked her out of the main room.
Yue Siling cried a lot over this, and Su Shi had to persuade her, saying that both of them were still young and would take her in after a few years, so that she could laugh out loud.
Although Yue Siling didn't understand that she was no longer young, at least at that time, some people at her age even had children, so why did the young master still say that. But even if Su Shi said it, she chose
I believe that the relationship between the two of them is obviously getting closer these days.
Yue Siling became more and more relaxed in front of Su Shi.
"Ling'er, do you prefer to stay in Bianliang City, or go out and see?" Seeing Yue Siling still helping him tidy up his clothes, Su Shi seemed to have thought of something, and asked casually.
"As long as the young master is around, it's fine." Yue Siling agreed directly without thinking.
"Haha. Okay, then go and pack your things." Su Shi had a doting smile on his face.
Ever since he learned that Xixia had used a false strategy to defeat Guo, Su Shi knew that things were getting serious and the Song Dynasty was in danger.
Be it Liao or Mongolian, history has long told us that these people are not good people.
In fact, they are not the only ones. In the five thousand years of China's development, almost all the stronger alien races are like this. When China is strong, they will pretend to be grandsons, flatter them and say nice things, just so that their race can survive.
, and continue to reproduce.
Once China becomes weak, they will immediately show their fangs and take a bite as if they are a different person.
That is to say, China is very resilient. It has gone from strong to weak and from weak to strong many times. It has been indomitable and has not been bitten to death.
But who can say that such good luck will always exist?
In his previous life, Su Shi was also an angry young man. Whenever he saw condemnation, questioning, or strong condemnation on the Internet, he would scold himself.
I once thought about it when I was bored, why didn't a powerful figure appear in history, sweep across all directions, and wipe out all these alien races who clamored every day and became rampant when they gained power.
In the last life, Su Shi admired Mr. Ai, a professor at Nankai University, the most. He said that cannons are used to measure land area, dignity only exists on the edge of the sword, and truth only exists within the range of the cannon. Zeng Rang has never
Su Shi, who had military experience, admired him endlessly.
But now, Su Shi unexpectedly came to the Song Dynasty and this magnificent era.
Here, there is no so-called beautiful country, let alone so-called sanctions and supervision by the United States.
This is the worst of times.
Because no one here can tell you any truth. Everyone only cares about who has the bigger fist, and whoever’s words are the last word.
This is the best of times.
Without various constraints, it is the best opportunity to deal with those ambitious alien races once and for all.
Yue Siling turned around to pack her things. She didn't know where she would go next, but since the young master said so, he would definitely leave.
"Let's go, Louyang, to the imperial palace, to Zhaoren Palace, to see His Highness King Jing."
