Shopkeeper Hu didn't even dare to stop along the way, so he bought a horse in a nearby village after leaving Xijin Mansion, and the transfer of two horses could maintain his speed, and at the same time, he didn't have to stay in one place for too long.

Sleeping outside at night is safer than entering the village to rest, along the way in order to avoid the Great Song Dynasty's rangers, he did not dare to take the nearest road, but chose a remote path to pass, the cold spring cold is another test for him, the cold spring breeze blows into his neck like a razor scraping through the body, the whole person is stiff.

The life like a refugee finally ended, not far away is the Zhongjing Dading Mansion in Daliao, he really didn't dare to stop along the way, even when he entered the territory of Zhongjing Road, the information he carried was too important, and there must be no mistakes.

Compared with the Great Song Dynasty's Xijin Mansion, the Dading Mansion of the Great Liao is much more guarded, in the eyes of the Hu shopkeeper, the two are completely incompatible, the Great Song Dynasty's Xijin Mansion exudes a confident taste everywhere, and the Dading Mansion is a serious battle between the soldiers and horses, and the Great Liao will lose to the Great Song Dynasty in terms of momentum......

Arrived at the gate of Dading Mansion, the Hu shopkeeper dressed as a servant of the Han people was naturally stopped, look at his appearance and dress, how do the Khitan defenders see him as a person, the Han people almost all support the Song army, and those who can stay as much as possible remain, and the Han people are mostly agricultural people, and the land is their foundation, who will leave their land and come to Dading Mansion to join Daliao?

Even the Khitan people themselves did not have this kind of self-confidence, so the shopkeeper Hu was "politely" invited aside by the officer guarding the city, and surrounded him with a punch and kick......

When the mighty Khitan warriors stopped, he said without breathing: "I am ...... Khitans! Yes...... There is something important to report to Prime Minister Zuo! ”

The onlookers were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter, is this person a fool? Prime Minister Zuo accompanied the emperor in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing! Wouldn't it be a fool's dream for you to go to Dading Mansion to find Prime Minister Zuo?!

But only one lieutenant couldn't laugh, and pulled the shopkeeper Hu and said, "Are you really sure you didn't go to the wrong place?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu said angrily: "How can there be a mistake in military affairs!" If you neglect it, you can't afford it! ”

The captain's face changed: "It's all gone, it's just a remnant of Yanyun, and I'll know the truth when the official interrogates it." ”

How alert was the mind of the shopkeeper Hu, he heard the sound of the strings in a simple sentence, and followed the captain without struggling, and when he got to a place where there was no one, the captain pointed to the tall Daliao Tower and said: "Prime Minister Zuo is there, how can you prove your identity?" ”

Shopkeeper Hu said coldly: "You don't have to worry about it, you have your own way there!" ”

The lieutenant was about to get angry, but when he saw the cold eyes of the shopkeeper Hu, his heart trembled: "It's okay, I'll send you there by myself, you can see if it's true or not!" ”

Hu shopkeeper did not speak, nodded slightly and got on his horse, followed the captain to the Great Liao Tower, which existed when the Dading Mansion was built, when the Liao Shengzong and the twenty-second year passed by here, looking at the southern glow flickering, there is the shape of the pavilion of the Xuanguo, a rui qi, so the capital was built here.

The layout of this city imitates Bianliang, the capital city of the Great Song Dynasty, and is divided into an outer city, an inner city and an imperial city. The inner and outer two cities are slightly in the shape of "Hui", and the big Liao Pagoda is just in the palace, located behind the main hall, such as mountains and mountains, giving people a feeling of dependence, calming people's hearts.

The emperor of Daliao likes to climb high and look far away in the tower, and see the entire Dading Mansion at a glance, and it is said that standing on it has a feeling of looking at the world.

At this time, Yelu Zongzhen did not have this feeling, more and more information came from Zhang Jian, all about the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know if Zhang Jian did it on purpose, Yelu Zongzhen suddenly found that the Great Song Dynasty at this time was far from the Great Song Dynasty of the True Sect Dynasty, not to mention the abundance of the people of Wufu, but also showed all kinds of strength!

This kind of strength is not only in the military, after all, the Khitan warriors have never been afraid of anyone on the battlefield, and the battle of Western Xia was completely God helped Li Yuanhao, otherwise Daliao would have won!

Compared with Li Yuanhao of Western Xia, Yelu Zongzhen was even more worried about the Great Song Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty, which originally had little threat to the Great Liao due to internal and external troubles, seemed to suddenly rise overnight, with such speed and great force that it was staggering.

The Great Song Dynasty completely liberalized the restrictions on merchants in commerce, and the Great Song Emperor Zhao Zhen was even more sympathetic to the merchants, not only encouraging and supporting them, but also approving the children of merchants to study and enter politics, which was a rare thing in all dynasties, and the Great Song Dynasty also got a return, and the annual tax of the merchants far exceeded the agricultural tax to become an indispensable economic source of the Great Song Dynasty, which Yelu Zong really looked at red!

Especially after Shangjing was swept by the Great Song Dynasty merchants, as the emperor of the Great Liao, he was even more distressed in dripping blood, although the territory of the Great Liao is vast, but many places are vast grasslands and barren desert Gobi, these places will not give the Great Liao a trace of agricultural tax or commercial tax.

This is also the reason why Yelu Sect really wants to find a way to recover the Xijin Mansion, once the Xijin Mansion is lost, the entire Yanyun is in danger, and even the Great Liao that Yanyun has lost is still called the Great Liao?!

It seems that Da Liao and Da Song changed positions overnight, and Da Song suddenly switched from defense to offense, and connected Yanyun Town, now it is Xijin Mansion and Nanjing Dao, so will it be Zhongjing Dading Mansion or Shangjing Linhuang Mansion further north tomorrow?

A sense of urgency that Yelu Zongzhen had never felt before swirled in his heart, as if there was a fierce beast behind him that would catch up and devour him at any moment.

Footsteps sounded on the stairs behind him, and after many years of getting along, there was no need to look back, Yelu Zong really knew that the person who came was Zhang Jian, and only he, the prime minister of Zuo, was qualified to come to his side without a report.

But at this time, Zhang Jian's footsteps were not as calm as usual, with a hint of messiness, knocking on the wooden stairs, it seemed that something big must have happened, Yelu Zongzhen turned his head and asked: "Prime Minister Zuo said some good news, right?" ”

Zhang Jian's face showed a relieved expression: "God bless Da Liao, I just received the news from the secret agent that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has indeed died!" Now I don't mourn, I'm afraid that I am worried about disturbing the morale of the army, and the God-given opportunity is the most suitable for me to raise troops to fight for thieves! ”

Yelu Zongzhen was bittersweet when he heard Zhang Jian's news, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart, the target he had been fighting for was actually dead...... The sudden loss of his goal left him a little confused.

"Is the message confirmed?"

"Sure! The secret spies and intermediaries of this dynasty in Xijin Mansion came to report at the same time, one said that the sister-in-law of the Great Song Emperor, Cai Boyu, took his own feathers and galloped towards Tokyo City, while the other said that the white curtain in the palace of Xijin Mansion covered the sky, and there was a faint sound of crying, and the civil and military generals of the Great Song Dynasty all entered the palace wall and did not come out! ”

Click, Yelu Zongzhen crushed the teacup in his hand and frowned: "So the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is really dead?!" The herald ordered the army to assemble and rectify, and after the sacrifice flag, wave the troops south, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! Escapee Slash! Those who shake the hearts of the army are killed! Cowering and slashing! Homesick war-weary! ……”

After saying eighteen beheading orders, Yeluzong really stopped, Zhang Jian on the side was on fire, His Majesty said that the eighteen beheading orders covered all the military discipline of Renjun, and even the rape and plunder that had no taboos in the past were counted, indeed, what Da Liao wanted to recover was the prosperous Xijin Mansion, not a hell on earth.

The emperor's order represented the will of the country, and as the will of Yelu Zongzhen was handed down, the army of the entire Dading Mansion began to assemble, and everywhere it looked like it was ready to go out, as if a great war was about to break out.
