Emperor. ”

At this time, the voice of the eunuch suddenly sounded outside the house, "Grandpa Yi is here." ”

"Enter."

Zhao Dongting raised his head and shouted at the door.

Yi Shiyu pushed open the door and entered the house.

Seeing the room full of people, this almost made the cautious eunuch almost tremble, and saluted one after another, "The slave knocks on the emperor, the queen, and the concubine ......."

In the end, he even had to salute Zhao An and Zhao Ru.

This made Zhao Dongting a little crying and laughing, and said: "The two of them are exempt, and they don't understand." Father-in-law Yi, where did the letter come again? ”

Yi Shiyu replied: "Back to the emperor, it is a letter from Liu to pacify the envoys. ”

After saying that, he got up and put the bamboo pipe in his hand on the desk in front of Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting took out the letter from the bamboo pipe and opened it. was slightly stunned at first, then the smile on his face instantly became richer, and finally he laughed twice.

This made the whole room look at him.

Ying'er asked: "Your Majesty, Liu Anfu has made Hengshanzhai a great victory?" ”

Zhao Dongting shook his head and smiled: "Not yet, but it's almost there." As long as the battle on the side of Hengshanzhai ends, then this battle and victory will be inclined to my Great Song Dynasty. ”

The women chuckled and asked no more.

They are not so interested in the process and details of the war, all they care about is whether this victory will belong to the Great Song Dynasty in the end.

Zhao Dongting looked at Gonggong Liu, who had always been at the door and did not disturb his family, and said, "Gonggong Liu, go and invite Master Lu and Master Su." ”

Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi.

Gonggong Liu agreed and walked towards the outside of the imperial study.

Yi Shiyu wanted to retire and wait outside the imperial study, but Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "Don't get in the way, you just wait." ”

Yi Shiyu stood honestly again. It's just that for the emperor's trust, there is gratitude spreading in my heart.

Zhao Dongting buried his head again and went down to correct the recital.

Being an emperor is really tiring.

Although he gave up the power to Lu Xiufu and others, there were still many things that he had to decide personally as the emperor.

Especially if there are any natural disasters in various places, it is necessary to allocate funds for disaster relief, etc., which need to be approved by Zhao Dongting himself.

Although he delegated power, Zhao Dongting would not be stupid enough to let go of all his rights.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and in this world, loyalty, and kindness sometimes can't withstand the erosion of profit.

Zhao Dongting didn't want to have the result of being too trusting and favored, but in the end, it would lead to hatred.

After waiting for a while, Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi followed Liu's father-in-law into the house.

"The two Aiqing are exempt."

Before the two of them saluted, Zhao Dongting said like this. Then he stood up, took the secret letter from Liu Hongyi and walked out of bed, and went to Lu Xiufu and the two, "You guys take a look first." ”

"This, this is a great joy!"

"God bless me!"

Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi were both overjoyed when they read the secret letter.

Zhao Dongting also smiled and asked: "Only the two Aiqing think that it is better for us to storm Hengshanzhai or force these Dali soldiers back to the country?" ”

Lu Xiufu groaned slightly, "Does the emperor want to fight or do you want to stop there?" ”

Zhao Dongting said: "Didn't I ask you? ”

Lu Xiufu did not give a positive answer, but said: "The old minister is not good at military affairs, and he does not dare to speculate." However, at present, although there have been incidents of chaotic people attacking grain storage depots in various cities, our Korean army is only a few hundred thousand, and if the emperor wants to fight, the old minister can guarantee that the grain and grass in the army will not be cut off. ”

"Just ......"

said, but there was a slight pause, "If I continue to fight like this, I am afraid that the grain and grass I have stored in the past two years will be empty." ”

Zhao Dongting didn't care, Ren is chuckle, "It's okay if it's empty." As long as the people everywhere are rich, I will not worry about not being able to collect taxes and grain. ”

After speaking, he looked at Su Liuyi, "What do you think of Master Su?" ”

Su Liu Yi frowned slightly, "If you fight, I'm afraid that the corporal under the command of Zhang Hongwei, Miao Cheng, and Liu Zhuwen will also be quite damaged." Your Majesty, at present, the Jingjiang Mansion garrison and the Qiongzhou garrison under the command of Liu Anfu and Ran have already suffered heavy losses, and they will continue to fight...... What the minister is worried about is whether the treasury can support the bereavement of those fallen soldiers......"

Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu.

Lu Xiufu smiled bitterly, "I can only barely support it." ”

After all, now the Great Song Dynasty is facing not only the army of Dali, but also the New Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. How many soldiers will be killed in the future, no one can say now.

And Zhao Dongting's pension for the dead soldiers is extremely heavy.

Zhao Dongting gently tapped his forehead, and he was also a little entangled at this moment. Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi did not give him a suggestive answer at all.

"Then ......"

In the end, Zhao Dongting still said: "Let's force them back to China first!" ”

"Your Majesty."

Su Liuyi and Lu Xiufu didn't say much, they just gave up.

Perhaps, that's what they thought in their hearts.

The Great Song Dynasty faced the attack of more than one million troops from Dali, New Song and Yuan dynasties at the same time, and the pressure was really too great.

After the two of them retreated, Zhao Dongting returned to the bed and wrote back to Liu Hongyi and others.

The main content of the letter is no more than two points.

First, the Dali army was forced out of the city, and then Miao Cheng, Liu Zhuwen, and Zhang Hong's great army went north to aid Kuizhou Road. Liu Hongyi led the army to temporarily sit in Hengshanzhai to prevent the Dali army from retreating.

Second, for the time being, let Wang Ziqian serve as a staff general in Zhang Hongwei's army, so as to see the after-effects, and then be promoted.

There are carrier pigeons flying to Yongzhou.

……

The Imperial City of Dali.

Duan Qilin also received a secret letter from Hengshanzhai from Chi Fenggu at this time.

Only compared to Zhao Dongting's great joy, this genius who was not born in the Ghost Valley and the Broken Army Two School Palaces almost fell into the tip of the horns of jealousy of Zhao Dongting again.

His face was swollen and red, and he almost cursed. If it weren't for looking at the palace master of the Ghost Valley Academy, I am afraid that he would have lost his temper.

Duan Qilin's hand holding the letter trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, defeat report?"

And the palace master of the Guigu Academy Palace could see many things from his face.

Duan Qilin's face was a little gloomy at this moment, and he suddenly asked the palace master of the Guigu Academy, "Teacher, can we really be the opponents of the Song Kingdom?" ”

He handed the letter in his hand to the palace master of the Guigu School Palace, "The students have done their best to strategize, looking at the three armies of Baima and Dali in Shuzhong, they are all facing the Song army with several times the military strength, and there are also brothers and sisters in our Guigu School Palace in the army to give advice and take charge of the overall situation." According to the usual theory, in such a comparison of forces, our army should be overwhelmed everywhere, but ...... Why are there failures everywhere? The Seventh Army of the White Horse in Shuzhong was defeated and defeated, and even this Hengshanzhai ...... He was also defeated. ”

More than 200,000 people......

His more than 200,000 Dali soldiers couldn't even take the Song army camp of more than 20,000 people, but paid such a big price.

That's it.

Chi Fenggu is also the top talent in the Guigu Academy, and at this time, in the face of less than 40,000 soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, he was frightened into a dilemma.

In the letter, although Chi Fenggu was wise to "swear to resist the Song army to the death", how could Duan Qilin not see what he meant?

If Chi Fenggu really has such a desperate meaning, then it will not use the word "resist", but will use "annihilation".

As for Chi Fenggu's letter saying that the failure of the attack on the camp was due to Wang Ziqian's improper command, Duan Qilin did not expect Wang Ziqian, and only regarded it as.

Since he dared to appoint Wang Ziqian as the main general, how could he not count Wang Ziqian's ability?

With the prince's talent, there are not many things like miscommand that can happen. The pool wind drum is all shirking responsibility.

Only now that Wang Ziqian is "dead", Duan Qilin naturally did not pursue the meaning of this.

His eyes stared directly at the palace master of the Guigu Academy, but his eyes gradually lost the sparkling confidence in his eyes.

The palace master of the Guigu Academy Palace looked down at the letter, and his white eyebrows couldn't help but gradually lock, "The army has lost more than 70,000 in total, and there is no news ...... the prince to visit the Song camp."

Even he is feeling embarrassed at the moment.

No one would have thought that the combined forces of Wang Ziqian and Chi Fenggu would still be beaten like this by the Song army.

I never thought that Wang Ziqian and those masters of the Broken Military Academy Palace would die.

This kind of loss, indeed, even the Palace Master of Guigu felt a twitch in his heart. This is all the family foundation that he has accumulated with great difficulty in the Guigu School Palace and the Broken Military School Palace.

After a while, Duan Qilin asked the Guigu Palace Master, "Teacher, the student's mind is already in chaos now...... You say, should you let the pool wind drum continue to play, or retreat? ”

The palace lord of Guigu groaned.
