This sentence reached Alatan's heart, and he nodded in agreement.
"This Su Shi must be killed. If we don't kill this serious enemy, we will have to turn a blind eye while sleeping. It will be too uncomfortable."
"Congratulations, general." Gai Zhenchun immediately slapped him in the face.
"Well, I understand what your general means, so what do you need me to do next?" Alatan had a long-lost smile on his face, and when he looked at Gai Zhenchun, he seemed to be more pleased with him.
"General, what our general means is that before our Liao army arrives, we must find a way to entangle Su Shi and not let him leave, let alone go to Langu City to join Wang Xin's troops. Otherwise,
If you want to eat him, you will have to work harder." Gai Zhenchun said, this was also the main purpose of his trip.
"No problem. There have been fights between the two of us before. This general also knows that Su Shi is training troops for his subordinates. I didn't want him to succeed at first, that is, the Liao army will use this method in the future.
Just leave him alone."
Alatan was also a smart man. He saw that Su Shi's purpose of engaging in small-scale battles was to train his troops, which made him a little unhappy. The following general came to report, saying that the Song army's combat effectiveness was increasing day by day.
Originally, he had planned to prepare for a big war and was not prepared to let Su Shi take advantage of the small fight, but when the Liao Kingdom's messenger arrived, Alatan had to change his mind.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, General. Please rest assured, General. Our army has already set off from the new city and will arrive soon. At that time, if we cooperate, we will have an army of more than 100,000 people. We can kill one
Su Shi is easy to catch." Gai Zhenchun laughed.
"Hahaha." Alatan also laughed loudly, "Then, general, I will wait for that day to come as soon as possible."
After Gai Zhenchun reached an agreement with Alatan, he quickly left to return to his life. Meng Qi also released part of the cavalry that had been shrinking, and it looked like they were continuing their fight with the Song army.
On the third day after Gai Zhenchun left, on the opposite side of the battlefield, Meng Qi changed his intention of avoiding the battle in the previous days and suddenly started a small-scale active attack. The news also reached Su Shi's ears immediately.
"Has it been two days?" After Su Shi heard about Meng Qi's actions, his first feeling was that something was wrong.
Knowing that they were training troops, Meng Qi not only did not stop them, but also cooperated with them. What did they want to do?
Two days ago, the news from the Black Cavalry scouts was that Alatan was forming an alliance with some small and medium-sized tribes that had entered the Song Dynasty and had not surrendered to the Ka Banner tribe, and the Meng Cavalry on the front line also began to retreat.
At that time, Su Shi thought that Alatan would have another decisive battle with him next.
For this reason, Su Shi had already started to rehearse the battle. But now, the opponent suddenly changed his routine, which made Su Shi a little confused.
The so-called monster is what happens when something goes wrong.
Su Shi believed that something must have happened that he didn't know about.
Speaking of which, Su Shi's trip to Liao and Mongolia has completely changed history.
In real history, during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, apart from a few years of war with Xixia, the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom had always lived in harmony and non-aggression.
As for the so-called rise of the Mongolian people, it does not exist at all.
Now,
Because of Su Shi, everything changed.
The Mongols unleashed their potential in advance, defeated the Liao people, and entered the Song Dynasty. There was a crisis in the north.
As things have developed now, Su Shi doesn't know whether it is good or bad. The history in his mind has become useless.
Unable to find the answer he wanted from history, Su Shi ordered the two scout squadrons to continue spreading outward to increase the scope of reconnaissance.
In fact, at this time, Su Shi had a feeling that Meng Qi must be waiting for something. Could it be that the Ka Banner tribe has increased its troops again?
Or is it that Mengqi secretly reached some alliance agreement with Liao or Xixia?
Thinking of this, Su Shi shook his head. It was impossible to cooperate with Xixia. Wang Xin was now between Mongolia and Xixia, becoming a solid wall, blocking the two parties from joining together.
If it were not Xixia, then only the Liao Kingdom would be left.
Could it be that the Liao army is coming?
It's a pity that Mei Yang is only a staff member of the South Academy, and his status is still a bit low. Being able to find out that the Liao Kingdom is going to send troops is already a good result. But if you want to know the specific situation, you can't expect it.
Su Shi was a little suspicious, but without the support of solid intelligence, he still didn't make a targeted decision. He had to wait and see.
While Su Shi was waiting for news from the scout squadron, the first batch of wounded soldiers and deserters returned from Bianliang City.
When these wounded soldiers and deserters appeared at Fengqiu Gate in the south of Bianliang City, the entire Bianliang City was in a sensation, and many people came to watch the excitement.
In the Zichen Palace, Zhao Zhen also saw Su Shi's memorial that had returned with the wounded soldiers and deserters.
In the memorial, Su Shijiu
One sentence is true, one sentence is false, and the situation is explained and reported.
The above describes in detail the unsatisfactory situation of the Preparatory Imperial Army.
Four thousand people were defeated by two thousand Mongolian cavalry. While the losses were huge, there were also many deserters.
If the black knight hadn't appeared at the critical moment and saved the situation, Su Shi would have died before he left.
The unbearable preparation of the imperial army made Zhao Zhen frown tightly.
In the past, Zhao Zhen always valued the Forbidden Army.
Among other things, Zhao Zhen would inspect the 300,000 forbidden troops outside Bianliang City at least once every year.
Whenever he was inspected, he would always feel a sense of pride when he saw the mighty warriors in red armor and the neatly arranged ranks of the Imperial Guards. This was one of the symbols of the power of the Song Dynasty.
This is also one of Zhao Zhen's trump cards.
Even if the sky falls, even if the northern and western territories are defeated, as long as he has these 300,000 forbidden troops in hand, Zhao Zhen will not be afraid of any opponents or enemies.
I believe that with them, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated and no situation that cannot be reversed.
But now, after seeing Su Shi's memorial, Zhao Zhen began to doubt himself.
Although the Preparatory Forbidden Army is not the Forbidden Army, as soon as the time is up, they will automatically become a member of the Forbidden Army. So they are all so unbearable, is the Forbidden Army really that powerful?
What does looking majestic prove?
What's the use of just relying on prestige in fighting a war? It still depends on combat power, right?
What’s the point of having lights arranged neatly?
Line up a row and let the enemy kill them?
"Am I too high-minded about the Forbidden Army? If there is a chance, should I let them go to the front line to exercise, otherwise the good people will be regarded as warm
If you raise the little flowers in your room, they will be destroyed."
With this thought in his mind, Zhao Zhen turned his attention to the black knight mentioned in the letter.
According to Su Shi, some of these black cavalry were elite warriors who had been to Liao and Mongolia. This time they heard that the Northern Territory of the Song Dynasty was in danger, so they gathered together to defend their homeland.
Zhao Zhen didn't believe a word of this statement.
If the Black Rider really had this intention, why didn't he take action before you, Su Shi, appeared? Instead, he had to wait until you reached the northern border before appearing?
This is basically the trump card Su Shi prepared.
The last time Su Shi came back and said that most of the more than 3,000 Su family troops were killed in battle and he only brought back more than 200 people, he had doubts.
It was just because there was no evidence that the matter was settled. Now it seems that Su Shi really had a hidden agenda, but what did he want to do by hiding these elites from hundreds of battles?
Zhao Zhen felt so uncomfortable all over when he thought that in his own country, there was an army that was not under his control and was an elite force of hundreds of battles. "Come here, tell Chen Lin."
Zhao Zhen decided to take advantage of this opportunity to let the Secret Service investigate. If possible, it would be best to instigate them to rebel and use them for his own use. If not, then kill them after the war.
How can one allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
At this moment, Zhao Zhen showed the decisiveness and ruthlessness that an emperor should have.
In Bianliang City, the wounded soldiers and deserters appeared in the morning, and that night, when the city gate was about to be closed, the second batch of wounded soldiers came back.
Also returning was Zhu Qian, the prefect of Xinzhou.
Zhu Qian was imprisoned in a wooden cage and brought back. I heard that
When I was in the city, my crotch was still wet.
Although the city gate was about to be closed, there were not as many people watching as during the day, but it was still seen, and then the story of a civil servant who was so frightened that he peed his pants on the battlefield began to spread quickly.
As soon as the news came out, the belongings of countless ministers in the capital were smashed.
In the hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, this was the first time that someone dared to humiliate scholars in front of the people of the world, and this was the capital of a state.
For a time, I don't know how many ministers worked hard all night to write various memorials to impeach Su Shi.
Quoting from classics, the beautiful articles appear vividly on the paper.
At this moment, in the eyes of these civil servants, Su Shi was described as a heinous person who could not be forgiven.
It seems that even cutting them into pieces cannot express the anger in their hearts.
The generals also learned the news that Miyako was killed for refusing to fight. But they were much calmer, and many even thought that Miyako deserved to die.
These people cannot write a letter to impeach Su Shi. After all, if they are the leading general, they will be severely punished if they encounter a war-fearing general like Miyako. Maybe they don't have the courage to kill Su Shi on the spot, but they can be dismissed and sent to prison.
The joint trial in Beijing will definitely be done.
The generals were angry with Gonggu for not living up to expectations, but at the same time they were also angry with Su Shi for his execution.
Why did you kill Miyako directly, but you sent Zhu Qian back? Don't you dare to kill the civil servant?
Is this bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
With this move, Su Shi offended both the civil servants and the generals, and neither side gained anything.
In the Zichen Palace, Zhao Zhen looked at this memorial, but he was far less angry than other courtiers.
The reinforcements fought fiercely with the Mongolian cavalry outside the city.
I came to rescue you Xinzhou. But you just stood aside and watched. If you were the reinforcement, you would be very angry.
