Different from the tall and majestic Daqing Palace, the layout of the Zichen Hall is relatively smaller, but the decoration in the hall is more gorgeous, with beautiful columns, beautiful beaded curtains, exquisite porcelain, and the softest carpets.

Rat San knelt on the carpet and couldn't get up, even if Zhao Zhen said twice that he was still stubbornly kneeling, Sancai was a little unbearable, but he knew that this was Rat San's guilt.

Thinking about it, he had already besieged the party members in Yanzhou, but he still tore a hole in Tumen Fort, and the party army finally withdrew, although this is not the fault of the three rats, but it can't be cleaned, and the courtiers outside will not blame the officials and Fan Yong, but will only start from the inspection of the 50,000 troops of the rat three.

"I don't blame you for this, you are not in charge of the security army and the Suide army after the break, and the party members did not go to Hongzhou City at all, but had already planned to take Longzhou to the back road...... He, Li Deming, is really a hero, and he actually saw a flaw in such a big game of chess that I played! ”

Zhao Zhen sighed and stretched out his hand to pull up this subordinate who had slipped the door and picked the lock with him, people are not as good as heaven, who knew that Li Deming actually saw through the final plan set by himself and the Privy Council, and used the efforts of the army of the Great Song Dynasty to kill and injure the purpose of the party members.

Zhao Zhen planned to cut off its source and do everything possible to besiege the main force of the party in Yanzhou, but unfortunately he did not hide Pang to come to support with men, horses and grass, which made Zhao Zhen's plan fall short, even if there was a final blow of gunpowder, it only slowed down the speed of the party members.

Zhao Zhen and Rat San didn't expect that the dignified Suide Army would be so vulnerable!

No, it's not that it's vulnerable, it's that the enemy's movements were torn open in the night without even finding the enemy's movements.

Li Deming led the remaining army and the reinforcements who did not hide the false Pang calmly retreated to another grain and grass camp, Guwuyan City, and after resting, he bypassed the heavily guarded Hongzhou!

This time, Li Deming seems to have suffered a loss, and a full 50,000 clan tent warriors were buried in Yanzhou City, but in Zhao Zhen's opinion, those clan tent warriors are not fart to Li Deming......

He may wish to die more, the larger the interest group, the greater the threat to the imperial power, this is something that Zhao Zhen deeply understands.

If he were Li Deming, he would celebrate happily after sacrificing so many clan soldiers.

It seems that he has done Li Deming a great favor?

Zhao Zhen was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood, and at this time he realized that even if he had the insight beyond this era, he was not necessarily a scheming opponent of the ancients in terms of wisdom, especially this Li Deming, whose political means and courage were comparable to Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty, and he was an extremely difficult opponent to deal with.

Zhao Zhen carefully compared the exploits of Yelu Longxu and Li Deming, and was surprised to find that Song, Liao, and Dangxiang, among the three kingdoms, only he was the youngest and weakest.

Sighing slightly: "I'm still too young!" ”

Sancai kicked Rat Sanyi hard: "The official family let you go, can't you wait to keep you for dinner?" Get out! ”

Rat San looked at the official family on the throne who was outside the world, and then looked at Sancai, who hated iron but not steel, gritted his teeth and retreated.

Fan Yong, who was under the royal street outside the hall, saw Rat San coming out of the Zichen Palace, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't the official family punish you?" ”

Rat San nodded: "There is no punishment, but I just feel that it is wrong, it is better to punish me by the official!" ”

Fan Yong sighed slightly, and looked up at the tall cornices outside the Zichen Palace: "It's not your fault, Li Deming's decisiveness was not expected by anyone, it seems that he lost Yanzhou and Hongzhou, and there are more than 10,000 people lost in the siege of Yanzhou City this time, but after this battle, I am afraid that there will never be any forces against him among the party members." The old man has lived in the northwest for a long time, and he knows the party system too well, that is a place where whoever has the biggest fist is the king. ”

Rat San is not an elm head, and after a little thought, he understood the trick, and his face became more and more ugly: "So we have fulfilled Li Deming?" ”

Fan Yong didn't speak, he acquiesced in his conjecture, and then smiled slightly: "But my Great Song Dynasty is also outstanding, not only won Yanzhou and Hongzhou, but also recovered the Great Wall...... It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Sancai watched the two people under the royal street walk away, and then carefully returned to the hall, at this time the official family was frowning, and the third knew that the official family must have an indescribable unhappiness in their hearts, and quietly walked to the side hall and glanced at Vera.

Zhao Zhen enjoyed Vera's soft and boneless softness, and closed her eyes slightly.

In the final analysis, this Li Deming is exactly the same as his own thoughts, in other words, Zhao Zhen himself will also protect his sergeants, and the party relies on cavalry that comes and goes like the wind, since the threat of the internal big tent tribe has been eliminated, there is no reason not to withdraw, and the next step is to send people to beg for peace again.

If you're not afraid of hypocrites, you're afraid of real villains!

As the king of a country in this troubled world, who is good to get along with?

The only thing that made Zhao Zhen happy was that the Song army won the two key Great Wall passes, Qin Huokou and Tiemen Pass, as long as there are these two dangerous passes, they can block the Ningxia Plain, and it is also a sharp tooth for the Great Song Dynasty to break into the party, and bite the party to the death.

If Li Deming's army wants to return to Xingqing Mansion, it must pass through the edge of the barren Mu Us Desert, and the speed of the march will be at least much fuller, and the speed of relative support will also be slow.

In this way, the impact on the party is undoubtedly huge, although they plundered a lot of land from the Western Regions, but now the number of deserts in the party area is also the largest, the famous Tengger Desert, Badain Jaran Desert, Mu Us Desert are all in the territory of the party, and the desert has only oil left in addition to sand......

In this era, deserts are barren land, useless and unfortunate, at least they can serve as a natural barrier to defend the oasis attached to prosperity.

Seeing that the official family was in a bad mood, Sancai said to Zhao Zhen flatteringly: "Official, don't you know, since the official road from Tokyo City to Zhengzhou Guancheng has been officially started in the past few days, and a new road has been opened next to the original official road, and the cement road is really eye-catching!" ”

"Of course, in the future, such roads will be paved all over the country until the time comes...... You're a bit wise and foolish! ”

Zhao Zhen's words made Sancai scratch his head, but when he saw the official family showing joy, he also smirked, anyway, he praised himself, what did he do so much!

Sancai's words did remind Zhao Zhen that this time the use of troops against the northwest party also exposed many shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty, especially the logistics supply could not keep up, if Li Deming hadn't discovered the problem early, it was very likely that he would have swung his army west to attack Hongzhou City of Peng Qi's department.

There is no need to attack, only three months of siege, Hongzhou City will be self-defeating, and the party will not hoard a large amount of grain and grass in the city like the Great Song Dynasty, even if you want to, there is not so much food.

Under the encirclement and reinforcement, it is likely that even Yanzhou will be lost.

Zhao Zhen said happily that it was dangerous, it was too early to fully defeat the party now, there was no logistics supplement at night, I was afraid that I would encounter the embarrassment of having no rice to cook before I arrived at Xingqing Mansion, and the old things of Yongxi's Northern Expedition should not be repeated.

These are not the most headaches, at this time, there are a lot of eyes around the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty in the north will never sit idly by, how can the lord of a generation of Zhongxing like Yelu Longxu watch the fat of the party item being taken by the Great Song Dynasty as his own?

Faced with the threat of the Liao Dynasty, Zhao Zhen decided to abandon the plan formulated by the generals in the Privy Council, or to encroach on it, otherwise once a full-scale war began, it would definitely attract the Liao people to wait for the opportunity to take advantage of the fisherman.
