Chapter 612: Go to War
It's just that it seems that God is not willing to give Fu Nianjun another chance to muddy the waters.
Xiao Rin arranged the matter according to her instructions, and did not show up for a few days, it should be a calm day, but Fu Nianjun felt more and more uneasy.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and the frost that falls is thick, and Xiahou Ying also sighed that it is the frost in the north that has surpassed the snow in the south.
On a frosty and windy day, when Fu Nianjun woke up on this day, he was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the post house was not quite the same.
When Yelubi died, there was a lot of discussion in the city, and the Khitans in the post house would also get together and chat a few words, saying where and where the suspected assassin Yunyun was found, mostly with the mentality of watching a good show.
But today, they don't look like that at all.
It seems that something big has happened in the city, and Fu Nianjun hurriedly sent two maids to ask.
After asking, I realized that the news from the city was nothing else, but that Western Xia had finally started a war with the Song court!
Fu Nianjun almost couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked them, "Where did the news come from?"
The two maids were frightened by her appearance, and stammered back to her: "That's what the people in the city and the city say, and the slaves don't know much......"
The Liao people in Youzhou City talked a lot about this matter, in fact, it was not because they were worried about the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, they were just afraid that they would be affected.
After all, the Yanyun area, which borders all the Song and Western Xia, is the first area where the war spreads if you are not careful.
Therefore, almost all the Khitans in the city paid attention to the battle situation at the first time.
Fu Nianjun couldn't ask for more information.
Xiahou Ying also arrived in Fu Nianjun's room at this time, she couldn't understand the Khitan dialect, and in recent days, she would only communicate a few words with others briefly.
"What's wrong?"
The expression on Fu Nianjun's face was a little solemn, and even in such weather, her forehead was covered with light sweat.
Fu Nianjun said to himself in his heart, he was actually able to predict it a long time ago, wasn't it?
The war between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty would break out sooner or later, and it was already on the verge of breaking out last year, but it dragged on for an extra year.
I just don't know how Zhou Yubai is now?
Fu Nianjun had to worry about him.
But she had no way of knowing what was going on in Tokyo.
The Khitan people in the city just listened to the wind and rain, and they couldn't ask anyone.
Fu Nianjun asked people to invite Chen Lingzhi over for the first time.
Chen Lingzhi arrived late the next day.
"Sister, you know?"
He asked more.
Fu Nianjun didn't care about anything else, and asked him: "What's going on now? You know the intelligence on the front line, right? There is always a reason for a sudden war, right?"
Chen Ling's way:
"More than ten years ago, the Western Xia plundered Xing and Lingzhou, sitting on a favorable location, I heard that the original good was negotiating peace, but these Western Xia people suddenly crossed the border at night, launched a surprise attack on Jinmingzhai, and even plundered the grain and grass of the Song army, and sent troops without declaring war, and had broken through Jinmingzhai, and now the intention is obvious, I am afraid that it is to take the fortress Yanzhou directly. ”
He also intimately brought a border map by the way, and pointed it out to Fu Nianjun everywhere.
Fu Nianjun couldn't help but be shocked, these Western Xia people have always been discredited, killing envoys, launching surprise attacks, and not telling any reason. The soldiers of the Song army have always been lazy, and most of the soldiers stationed in Jinmingzhai are the Xiang army and the township soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is not strong.
As for the reason why the Tanguts sent troops, she was almost certain.
"The weather is strange this year, it's so cold at this time, the Tangut people will definitely not be able to have a good winter, and they will definitely start plundering this season. ”
It's just that after the looting, I'm afraid I won't stop easily.
Chen Lingzhi nodded, "They can be regarded as having a plan for a long time, and the matter of negotiating peace has been delayed again and again, and I just heard that Weizhou, Zhenrong Army, and Yanglong City on the border of the Song Dynasty have not been peaceful recently......"
There was also a hint of tentative interest in his words.
Zhou Shaoyong.
Fu Nianjun knew too well what he was going to do at the border.
She gritted her back molars and said to Chen Lingzhi: "Don't you understand who this war in Western Xia has saved? King Su in Tokyo City, who is still willing to take care of him now? I'm afraid that the official family is already anxious." ”
Chen Lingzhi was noncommittal, from his point of view, the more chaotic the Song Dynasty was, the more the Liao people could watch from the wall.
Therefore, the border chaos in the Song and Xia Dynasty, the chaos in the inner court of the Song Dynasty, or the chaos together, he is very happy to see it.
Fu Nianjun asked him: "How many days has it been since the Xixia people attacked Jinmingzhai until today?"
"Ten days. ”
Chen Lingzhi said.
Ten days, Fu Nianjun felt depressed for a while, her news was ten days behind.
"So you've got it all figured out. Fu Nianjun asked: "What does the court say now?"
Chen Lingzhi glanced at her, his expression remained calm:
"I just received a report early this morning, the Great Song Dynasty official sent the privy envoy Wang Yongcheng to rush to the border of Yanzhou, and also promoted the Shaanxi slightly pacification envoy Di Ming, deputy envoy Zhang Qi, Huang Ende, and two palace internal supervisors, I don't remember the specific names......"
That's the approximate news.
"Are you saying that the official family didn't deploy it at the first time?"
Fu Nianjun almost couldn't get up in one breath.
Chen Lingzhi let out an unceremonious laugh.
The Great Song Dynasty court, like Fu Nianjun, could not be regarded as unprepared, but the emperor's courage was too small, Guangguang was upset, and he was in a hurry and delayed for two or three days, and finally decided.
And raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, no one knows whether these courtiers and henchmen he assigned can be ordered to turn the tide of the war in danger.
"Where's my dad?"
Fu Nianjun hurriedly asked.
Chen Lingzhi sighed and said:
"Sister, you should calm down, Wang Yongcheng is gone in Tokyo City, can't Fu Xiang be in charge?"
Fu Nianjun eased her emotions, she was just afraid, afraid that Fu Kun would go to the battlefield.
Afraid that Fu Kun would be injured on the battlefield was one of them, and she was even more afraid that Fu Kun's estimation of the battle situation would be out of proportion, so according to the emperor's temperament, it would be difficult not to blame the ministers who were angry after the war.
In her memory, the war was the defeat of the Song army.
Of course, she won't be too pessimistic, because the current situation is naturally different, Zhou Yubai and Di Ming are sitting in Yanzhou, and even Qi Zhaoruo is there, in the previous life, there was no such thing as these people at all.
But on the other hand, the cruelty of war is always unimaginable to those who settle down.
She herself is just a little lady raised in a place where singing and dancing are leveling.
She didn't, and she didn't dare to have full confidence, that this battle would be a complete victory.
"I know ......"
Fu Nianjun sat back in his chair with some detachment, his face uncontrollably pale.
Chen Lingzhi poured a cup of tea for her, and couldn't help but say, "It's the first time I've seen you in such a panic." ”
