Above the main hall, the strife arose, looking at the many courtiers below, vying to narrate the strategy, Renzong suddenly felt that it seemed that they were all far away from him, and he had always been proud of, and commanded Ruoding's control, in the face of the Baozhou mutiny, was completely shattered, and he felt for the first time that even if it was him, everything could not go well.

Renzong succeeded to the throne, it has been more than 20 years, the court has been quite stable, and even all aspects of the court's politics have a fixed method of combing, a small Baozhou mutiny, he really can't say anything, can't do more, things have already arisen, if you don't want to continue to influence, just such a smooth disposal, is the best choice.

But why is there such grief in my heart, a throne, so eye-catching, even at the expense of Zhao Xin?

Annoyance and regret filled his heart, and he didn't even hear what the courtiers were saying, under the leadership of the important ministers, the disposal method of the Baozhou mutiny had come out, Han Qi was ordered to go to the Daimyo's Mansion to command the northern army, and Ouyang Xiu was sent to Baozhou to deal with the cultural, educational and political affairs of Baozhou.

In the end, Renzong still couldn't hold back, and called Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu to the side hall alone, and he didn't break Zhao Xin's presence in Baozhou, but just asked Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu to take care of Miaojiazhuang.

This order made Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu a little clueless, they didn't know what Renzong meant, didn't it mean that Concubine Miao Shu was not taken seriously in the harem, but looking at the emperor's performance, it didn't seem to be the case.

Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu didn't ask much about the affairs of the harem, they were both reformers of Fan Zhongyan's lineage, Han Qi was in his thirties, and he became the deputy of the East Mansion, and he could be regarded as a young talent in the ranks of Zaifu, but recently, it seems that the rumors are wrong.

From the fourth year of Qingli, Renzong's support for Fan Zhongyan began to weaken, and some conservative forces began to rebound.

At this time, Han Qi was still very young, and he was not the old and important minister of the Three Dynasties, just like Fu Bi, he was the Dinghai Divine Needle above the Northern Song Dynasty court, at this time, he was at most behind Fan Zhongyan, and he was assisted, and he didn't have so much experience.

Ouyang Xiu is even worse, in the literary world, Ouyang Xiu's status is extremely high, but in political affairs, he has never been good at it, but the Baozhou Mutiny can be regarded as an excellent handling of several times by Ouyang Xiu, from this point, it is not a mistake to participate in the governors and elect Ouyang Xiu and Han Qi.

Returned to the harem, before Renzong had time to drink tea, there was a report to be reported, Concubine Shu came, he sighed and let Concubine Shu in.

At this time, Concubine Shu was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, in the entire palace, on the surface, only he and Renzong knew that Zhao Xin was secretly sent to Baozhou, and thought that he could spend a period of time safely, but no one thought that it would be such a result.

appeased Concubine Shu, Renzong at this time, there was no other way, but to expect the blessing of the Buddha, and his son to be able to save the day, but even he couldn't believe that the truth of this blessing was only revenge.

Soon, some officials of the Wang family, as well as the officials of the Runan Wang family, were degraded and degraded, and they were handled, but unfortunately they could only clear their wings, and they couldn't even touch the core.

The state apparatus of the Northern Song Dynasty began to start slowly, Han Qi quickly went first, went to the Daimyo Mansion with the military order, and directly took over all the military and political power of the Daimyo Mansion, with Han Qi's toughness, even Di Qing's favorite generals could be easily killed, and he was ordered by the emperor, it was really a god to block and kill God, and the Buddha to block and kill the Buddha, in less than 3 days, the military strength of the entire Daimyo's Mansion was completely in his hands.

In the middle, the Wang family did not dare to do anything to obstruct it, no matter how profound Wang Deyong was, and even had a relationship with Wang Chao, but he was a military attache after all, unlike Di Qing, a military attache who had no foundation, but it was really sad to face such a killing god as Han Qi.

The distinction between civil and military affairs is already quite obvious in the Renzong Dynasty, civil officials control everything, civil officials are respected, and seven-grade civil officials can reprimand four-rank military attachés, not to mention that Han Qi is also the deputy of Dongfu, or incumbent, in terms of rank and status, he is not weaker than Wang Deyong at all, Wang Deyong really dares to do more, and even without Renzong pressing the formation behind, one Han Qi is enough to deal with the Wang family.

To be honest, Wang Deyong also has a headache, but unfortunately, his name is very useful to deal with the low-level state officials, and it is really above the high-end, it is a little insufficient, otherwise, he would not have been known everywhere, and he would not defect to the king of Runan County because there is no possibility of going to the next level.

It's a pity that now it's on the thief ship, and after knowing that Han Qi is the leader, he immediately cleaned up all the hands and feet that were arranged, and all the forces of the Wang family in the military did exactly what Han Qi said, and began to clean up some traces.

What kind of character is Han Qi, as long as there is a slight clue, even if there is no possibility of evidence, he can kill a general, or kill him in front of the military general Di Qing, if the real Wang family is in the hands of Han Qi, then he can only break his wrist.

It's a pity that these changes in the outside world have little impact on Baozhou, no matter how fast Han Qi is, from mobilizing troops to sending troops, it will take at least 10 days, and it will take more than ten days to arrive in Baozhou, even if he doesn't fight at all, the final victory will be more than 20 days later, at least, this can only be regarded as far water, Han Qi's appearance is just to save more than ten days of time, so that what could have been reacted after 40 days has been advanced to more than 20 days.

Han Qi has already arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, Ouyang Xiu is still on land, as the official in charge, it is impossible for him to go directly to Baozhou, that is to send him to death, he will have to wait until the first wave of troops arrives, and has an oppressive advantage over the rebels, before he can be stationed, in short, there is still a lot of time, and he slowly moves forward behind.

Neither Han Qi nor Ouyang Xiu realized that this mutiny was a very strange mutiny, and behind the scenes, there was actually the idea of seizing the heir.

Renzong can't mention it, because Zhao Xin's matter, there is no way to say, the people behind it are also muffled and rich, and others, of course, will not make a big deal about it, and those who don't know will be dealt with according to an ordinary mutiny, and there is little change from left to right.

In three days, with the help of thousands of people and some soldiers, 70 ladders have been completed, and hundreds of planks have been built to pass through the moat.

Of course, Wei Gui knows very well that he doesn't have much time, and the position of Baozhou, even if he suddenly mutinies and doesn't waste much time, he won't give him too much time, between 20 and 40 days, he must quickly take down this fortress and complete the task, so that he can safely arrange the next moves.

Wang Xiansong stood behind Wei Gui and was quite satisfied with Wei Gui's actions in the past few days.

When Wei Gui was selected before, it was not he who made a move, but the whole process of contact and control has always been handled by him, although as a low-level officer, Wei Gui has such and such weaknesses, but he knows very well what he should do, and his status in the army is also high, and it is best to do it with him.

With such a fortress, it looks very tough, which is somewhat unexpected by him, but the tens of thousands of troops, or such an elite force of the forbidden army, were unprepared before, and there was no ladder, so they retreated, and now, it was their turn to attack.

When it was early in the morning of another day, after the entire Miaojiazhuang moved, Sun Ji knew that the test had finally arrived, this time, he didn't even pay as much attention as the first time, after seeing the defenses that Zhao Xin had arranged for the fortress, he suddenly found that no matter how hard he tried, it was actually enough to exert the power of the fortress itself, and the rest, there was no need to do more, because if he did more, it would not have much impact.

500 longbowmen, divided into 3 parts as usual, rotated, from the bastion, selected hundreds of young men to guard the outside world, as long as they rushed up, they would destroy the ladder.

The 40-meter-high fortress itself is an insurmountable obstacle, and only the ladder can be crossed, but with the method of targeting the ladder, no matter how many people come, it will really be in vain.

Sun Ji really realized that when the fortress played its full power, even the longbow team was based on the fortress, even if there was no longbow, relying on the border army of the Northern Song Dynasty before, the fortress could also exert all its strength, whether it was facing 10,000 or tens of thousands of troops, it was impossible to shake this fortress in a short period of time.

When a fortress that cannot be breached in a short period of time, and the defenders may only have a few hundred people, the role of this fortress in the northwest will be unimaginable.

Sun Ji, who had personally participated in the Northwest Campaign, was very aware of the advantages of the Western Xia, the elusive cavalry, which could disperse and concentrate troops at will, and most of the border military villages were so suddenly eliminated by the Western Xia, not only did not play a role in application, but provided supplies to the Western Xia.

However, if the northwest frontier is all such a fortress, the entire northwest of the Northern Song Dynasty will be impregnable, once the Western Xia cannot influence the northwest, the Northern Song Dynasty can steadily accumulate strength, and the concentrated forces of the Northern Song Dynasty will definitely put the entire Western Xia under great pressure.

The snare drum sounded, stepping on the drum, at least 8,000 heavy armored infantry came out of the crowd, it seems that with the previous experience, they will not send light armor, or archers at all, only infantry, heavy armor infantry, can resist that kind of magical bow and arrow, they are ready to take this mysterious fortress with one blow, with heavy infantry, although a little bulky, but it is safe.

Wei Gui did not hide his purpose at all, on top of the battle array, although concealment can help gain an advantage, but under the absolute strength, the role of concealment is only minimal, with 8,000 infantry, surrounded in all directions, 70 ladders and a large number of planks, just to pass through the moat and this fortress, only less than 800 regiments practice troops to protect, they don't have to hide at all, only by pressing down on all sides, can they force the other party to show their flaws.
