Zhao Zhen looked at the huge map like a wall in the imperial study, and frowned, Yanzhou has a special meaning in his heart, or in the hearts of future generations, Yan'an has a special meaning.

It is also a coincidence that Yan'an is the place where the fire of revolution burns, and at this time Yanzhou is also adding firewood to the court of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen suddenly found a greater coincidence, the Great Song Dynasty Huode, advocating red, so it is called the Yan Song Dynasty in the Three Character Classic, and the national flag, national emblem, and even the national color of the country in later generations are red.

Gently stroking Yanzhou on the map, he sighed slightly: "Is this a coincidence or an inevitability?" Could it be that New China is another inheritance of the orthodoxy of Chinese civilization? ”

"Qiqi official's family, the front of the palace commander Peng Qi is here......"

Chen Tong interrupted Zhao Zhen's reverie with the voice characteristic of a eunuch.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and walked to the throne and said, "Xuan He is here." ”

The geographical location of Yanzhou is special, it is the rear of the Suide army in the north and the security army in the west, and it is a barrier into the Guanzhong Plain, and behind it there is Jingzhao Mansion Chang'an!

Once Yanzhou is lost, the entire Shaanxi Plain will be unimpeded, and this innate geographical conditions and advantages make it the key to the three Qins and the throat of the five roads.

The main purpose of the Dangxiang people's attack on Yanzhou was not to occupy it, after all, Yanzhou was too far away from them, and the nearest Hongzhou was also under the attack of the Dingbian Army and the Suide Army, and there were also security forces watching from the side.

As an official of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen certainly knew Li Deming's heart, and he was eager for the Great Song Dynasty to recognize his status as a law in Western Xia......

"So the party wants to use war to force the Great Song Dynasty to recognize his legal status and establish a country!"

Peng Qi bowed down and stood in front of the imperial case and didn't dare to stand up straight, what the official said now was not something that he, a former commander of the palace who hadn't read much, could interject.

"Peng Qi, tell me about the news you got from that officer, what is the current situation in Yanzhou."

According to Na Niu Er, there were four servants with him, and three of them were killed when they called for help, and one arrow even shot through the vermilion lacquer cylinder...... According to him, when he left, the city of Yanzhou had already been besieged, and it took seven days to reach the city of Tokyo. ”

Zhao Zhen touched his chin: "So Yanzhou City has been besieged for at least eight days?" What is the grain and grass in the city, the strength of the troops, and what kind of troops are the party members besieging the city? ”

Peng Qi opened his mouth and closed it again, he asked these questions, but Niu Er still didn't dare to speak and said that he was willing to speak only if he saw the official family, he actually came to report this matter to Zhao Zhen.

"The official family, that Niu Er doesn't want to say whether he is alive or dead for some reason, he only says that he is not the official family, otherwise he will die without saying a word......"

After Peng Qi finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Zhen carefully, he thought that the official family would be furious, but who knew that the official family actually nodded slightly and said: "Then announce his audience, he is afraid that what he says will be too relevant to be too important." ”

Zhao Zhen has read Fan Yong's urgent report, and the whole piece is full of his cowardice and unscrupulousness! Far from being prepared to actively resist, he suggested that he and the prime minister of the DPRK and China publicly recognize Li Deming's political status and the Western Xia state.

There was no data about the number of enemies, the geometry of the troops, etc., which showed that he did not send scouts to investigate the reality of the enemy army at all! I'm afraid he wrote this urgent report when he got Li Deming to lead the army.

This is simply a big thief of the country, but there is more than one spineless literati in the Great Song Dynasty, Fan Yong is not the only one, and someone in the court yesterday planned to negotiate peace, but he was suppressed by the performance of Ding Wei and Lu Zongdao.

Niu Er trembled and knelt at Zhao Zhen's feet and didn't dare to raise his head, Zhao Zhen was a little disappointed, this Niu Er was too far from the forbidden army as a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty.

In fact, this is wronged Niu Er, as a border army handler, he is already excellent that he did not collapse to the ground after seeing the emperor, and it is really too much to ask him to be as humble or arrogant as the forbidden army.

Zhao Zhen tried his best to calm down: "You are in my study, what you say will never be leaked, and you don't have to worry about someone retaliating against you, I can even let you enter the third class to listen to the errand, what is the situation in Yanzhou City!" ”

Niu Er looked around and gritted his teeth: "Qiyu Guanjia, the little one rushed through the encirclement of the Dangxiang people with a few brothers before coming to Tokyo City, at that time the encirclement of the Dangxiang people had just been completed, and it was not solid, and the small one saw that the Dangxiang people did not carry siege equipment, and most of them were cavalry, and there were few foot battles, Yanzhou would not lose for the time being!" ”

Zhao Zhen and Peng Qi glanced at each other in surprise, but they didn't expect that this Niu Er was not a mediocre person, and he could actually observe the deployment of the enemy army by the way, which was simply impossible for a handicap.

So Zhao Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "You get up and speak, what else will come together, if there is a merit, I will be rewarded!" ”

Niu Er's eyes lit up and continued: "The party leader Li Deming led his troops to the south, bypassing the heavily defended Huanzhou and Gyeongju areas of our Great Song Dynasty.

In the area of Jingzhou and Yuanzhou, the walls are strong, and there are many soldiers, especially the archers of the Tibetan Department who are guarding this area, and the armor is strong, and Li Deming also bypasses here......"

Zhao Zhen nodded again and again, this Niu Er is simply familiar with the deployment of the border army, and it doesn't look like a handler at all: "What about Xizhou and Hezhou?" ”

"As for the area of Xizhou and Hezhou, it is even more difficult for the party to start, and the Tubo leader is blindly leading troops to garrison, and forming an alliance with our Great Song Dynasty to contain the party item, if you go from here, the party item is simply seeking their own death......

As he spoke, Niu Er lost his voice, and Zhao Zhen glanced at him strangely and said, "Why don't you say it?" ”

Niu Er kowtowed and said: "The villain, please forgive Your Majesty for your presumptuous words, and save Niu Er's family!" ”

"You can rest assured, you just need to report truthfully, I should protect myself, and who are you, how can you know the border army so thoroughly?"

"Your Majesty, the villain was originally a lieutenant of the border army, and was demoted to military service because he offended Li Shibin, and the clan brother was a Du Yu Hou in the Japanese army, and he repaired the book to the villain half a year ago, saying that Tokyo City opened a military academy to recruit military talents from all over the world, and the villain had the intention of going to try his skills, so he made enough preparations to participate in the recruitment of the military academy next year, who knew that Yanzhou City was besieged ......"

No wonder he knew so much about the deployment of the border army, it turned out that he was a lieutenant in the border army.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "If you continue to speak, I will give you a judgment!" ”

"Thank you! In the area of Yanzhou and Yanzhou, its land is far away, and there are many ways for thieves to enter. The fence is also estranged, the soldiers are at least, and they are familiar with the situation of the mountains and rivers. In addition, Fan Yong, the governor of Yanzhou, was cowardly and cowardly, and the guards of Jinmingzhai on the periphery of Yanzhou inspected Li Shibin's greed and stupidity, and his subordinates complained, and they were already counted as incapable of fighting, so Fan Yongcai collected troops and waited for backup in the city under the persuasion of Li Shibin. ”

Zhao Zhen screamed: "All the 100,000 troops have entered the city? ”

Niu Er smiled bitterly: "He once had 100,000 troops, but at most 50,000, and most of them were old and weak......

Eat empty salary!

Zhao Zhen instantly thought of this chilling term, eating empty wages not only defrauded the imperial court's finances, but also weakened the combat effectiveness of the troops, and what made Zhao Zhen even more angry was that this kind of behavior seriously affected the court's judgment of Yanzhou.

Li Shibin is an official of Yin'en, and his father is the famous Li Jizhou, who once broke the party and obtained more than 600,000 yuan, and also once crusaded against Li Jiqian, the leader of the party people.

The two are of the same clan, because of their different knowledge, Li Jizhou attached himself to the Great Song Dynasty and sealed his wife Yinzi, while Li Jiqian led the party members to conquer the south and the north to expand the territory to create today's party item, and this Li Jiqian is Li Deming's father......

The Great Song Dynasty also saw Li Jizhou's merits to give him the title of wife and son, and Li Shibin successfully became the general of Jinming Village on the periphery of Yanzhou after his father's death.

Niu Er continued his words, but Zhao Zhen felt sarcastic, his father was not good, but his son was a coward, although Li Shibin was known as an ironclad minister, he was actually a brave and unscrupulous person.

Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered that this Li Shibin had committed a capital crime because he killed several relatives, including his cousin niece, but considering that he was a meritorious man and the court still needed him to lead the army, he was exempted from the death penalty.

Who knew that he was not only not grateful to Dade for guarding the frontier, but instead ate the empty salary of the imperial court!

Zhao Zhen squeezed out from between his teeth: "Fan Yong's capital crime!" Li Shibin should be killed! ”

Niu Er and Peng Qi were stimulated by the cold chill emanating from the official family, and they both fell to the ground on their knees, and from the official family, they felt the emperor's anger and blood flowing......
