After Chu Yu saluted, he followed behind Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu and Empress Meng intended to take a walk, so they walked very slowly.

"This time, I will lead the leopard cavalry, and almost all the scholars in Kaifeng City have left Beijing,"

Zhao Xu paced, thinking slowly, and his words were also very slow, and said: "Only Zhang Xianggong is in charge of the capital, and the troops around Kaifeng City have also been withdrawn, and there are only 6,000 people in the training camp of the new barracks. Have you seen the route? ”

Chu You's face was dark, his eyes were calm, and he said, "Yes." Starting from Chenqiao Town, in Waliang Village, Qinfeng Road, the farthest is Tusheng Fort, and further away, the Privy Council does not agree. ”

Zhao Xu listened to the words 'Tusheng Fort', and suddenly his face was a little weird.

In the later Ming Dynasty, the little emperor Yingzong, who succeeded to the throne at a young age, in order to compete for power with the empress dowager, favored the eunuchs, and took hundreds of civil and military officials to conquer Mongolia in person, and was defeated in Tumubao, and even became a prisoner.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was the fourth generation, and it was still in its prime, so it quickly turned into decline.

There are too many similarities with Zhao Xu's current situation!

Empress Meng glanced at Zhao Xu's strange expression and said softly: "Official, the minister of the Privy Council is worried that it will not be safe anymore, and he does not mean to offend. ”

Zhao Xu didn't speak, and he was still sighing in his heart that 'history is always strikingly similar'.

Even if the government and the opposition are obstructed, and there is this strange 'similar place', Zhao Xu still did not waver, and said: "Act according to the plan, three days later, promulgate the edict of the imperial driver, appoint the privy envoy Zhang Qi as the commander-in-chief, all the ways and strategies, and the general manager will work together, this battle, my Great Song Dynasty will win!" ”

"Yes." Chu Yu said.

"Command!" Chen Pi said.

They? It's all about going with the car.

Empress Meng holding her lower abdomen with both hands? Her eyes tried to hide her concern.

Zhao Xu took in the full view and did not explain.

This battle? He must go!

In addition to the 'must-win' requirement? Zhao Xu also needed to highlight his presence and boost the morale of the Song army and people. Cleaning up the decadence of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years? The weak atmosphere must be led by him, the emperor!

A powerful empire? Must have a strong emperor? The little emperor in the deep palace has long been out of a powerful country!

Honglu Temple.

With the increasingly unconcealable war moves on the side of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Tiancheng, who was originally 'victorious' and full of confidence? Now I'm worried.

The sturdy young man standing in front of him? With a look of resentment, he said: "Shilang, that Li Xia's queen mother is really too arrogant, and she has repeatedly rushed into my Daliao, not to mention, she still dares to start a war without authorization?" Unforgivable! ”

Xiao Tiancheng was also angry with the more and more domineering Empress Dowager Liang, and the Song Dynasty was about to suppress it? However, the Empress Dowager Liang raised troops again, making it impossible for the Song Dynasty to endure it!

No matter how fierce Song Xia's fight is, Xiao Tiancheng doesn't care? The question is, does the Liao State now need Li Xia to contain the rebels in the northwest direction? Even when necessary? Li Xia also needs to send troops to help suppress the bandits!

Li Xia will drain his troops? The Great Northwest is empty, isn't it for nothing to give those traitors a chance?

Xiao Tiancheng's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "You are wrong. Li Xia did send troops unexpectedly, but the Song people were not flustered, if you take a closer look, their actions seem to have been arranged a long time ago, Kaifeng City has no waves, and there is not much noise in the Song court! ”

The young man was shocked and said, "So, is it the Song people who are fighting this battle?" ”

Xiao Tiancheng nodded silently and said, "It seems that we can't stop it, we have to think of other ways." ”

On the one hand, Song Xia is ready to go, and he must defeat Western Xia and strive for a controllable external environment. And the Western Xia, in the Song Dynasty's plan, was repeatedly provoked and sent a large army to come.

At such a time, there is absolutely no possibility for the two sides to stop.

The sturdy young man looked unsightly, and said bitterly: "Squire, since there is no way to stop it, we have to find a way to go back as soon as possible and report the news to the court and Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Tiancheng glanced at him, but did not respond.

He had a bad premonition in his heart, the last time he saw him, it gave him great pressure, he had a feeling, but whenever he tried to leave Kaifeng City, he might be in a different place!

It seems that the Song people have seen through my great liao reality. Xiao Tiancheng's heart was a little heavy.

They really lack skills, otherwise there would be no such trip to him, although Xia Ren is arrogant, but his actions can be predicted, and people are not so worried. On the Song side, it gives people a strange feeling that is difficult to figure out in the clouds.

Moreover, the Song people gradually showed signs of recklessness!

'What are they going to do?' Is it me Da Liao? Xiao Tiancheng has always unconsciously popped up this idea in his heart recently.

But this idea is a bit ridiculous, since the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Song people have completely given up the delusion of the sixteen states of Youyun, and they have not dared to raise sword soldiers for decades.

Seeing that Xiao Tiancheng was silent, the sturdy young man waited for a while, and then said, "Squire, we can't wait." ”

The Song people are sharpening their knives here, and they must send the news back as soon as possible.

The Liao State was busy suppressing bandits, and the king of the Southern Courtyard was almost destroyed, and he couldn't draw enough troops to deter the Song people.

Xiao Tiancheng's heart was heavy, and he said, "You have to find a way to send the news back, and you have to hide it as much as possible." I'll find a way to meet some of them again tomorrow and find out what they are thinking. ”

The young man was immediately dissatisfied, and said: "Squire, then Chen Xun accepted the money, and when he turned his head, he didn't see us, and he wanted to take something out of his mouth, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" ”

Xiao Tiancheng sneered at the corner of his mouth and said, "My money is so easy to take!" I prepared a letter, and when the time came, I found someone and sent it to the Song Dynasty Yushitai. Aren't they now engaged in 'clarifying rights and responsibilities and holding people accountable'? I'll see if they're real or not! ”

The young man was overjoyed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a dense sound of footsteps outside.

A little guy ran in quickly, and whispered in Xiao Tiancheng's ear: "Squire, they are menacing, be careful!" ”

Xiao Tiancheng's eyes were gloomy, his face was expressionless, and he waited quietly.

The Song people are now bold, and in the Song Dynasty, Xiao Tiancheng is well versed in the word 'rites'.

The person who came was Huo Xu, he came to the table, glanced at Xiao Tiancheng, and sneered: "Xiao Shilang, let's go, the prime minister said, we will escort you back." ”

Xiao Tiancheng naturally knew these guards of the Imperial City Division, but he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and said, "You guys, do you want to let me go back?" ”

Huo Xu didn't have so much patience, and said: "You Liao people are messing around at the border, if we don't kill you, it's merciful, take good things and follow me." ”

Listening to Huo Xu's words, Xiao Tiancheng became more and more worried, was their reality really seen through by the Song people?

It's only been a few days, and even if the Song people investigate, it's not so fast, right?

Xiao Tiancheng kept speculating in his heart, his expression was calm, and he said lightly: "Clean up your things." ”

The sturdy young man stared at Huo Xu with a wary expression. Others quickly pack their things.

In their opinion, the Song Kingdom is the land of tigers and wolves!
