On the official road from Shaanxi to Bianliang, a knight with a special flag was galloping on his horse, which was the eight-hundred-mile rush responsible for transmitting the message.

From Lingzhou, 1800 li, you need to change 4 knights and at least 16 horses, and the channel specially set up by the Northern Song Dynasty for emergency military intelligence can transmit information to the center in the first time.

Every pass must be passed, the card must be rushed, the special whistle and clothing, so that no one, dare to stop his horse's head, after countless passes, finally arrived at Bianliang, it was just when the city gate opened.

In the lively Bianliang City, a large number of people also gathered in the morning, they were waiting for the process, and such a hurried horse's hooves broke the calm of the morning.

Some people who know how to avoid it early and are responsible for the post road of fast horses, which itself is not allowed to block, maybe they will be hit, and some people who don't understand are even thinking about why, there will be people galloping on horses.

The gatekeeper had already noticed, and immediately pulled away the obstacles, and dispersed the crowd that stood in the way of the post road, and after a busy day, the knight did not even stop at all, crossed the gate, and marched quickly towards the Privy Council.

At this time, after watching the knight leave the dust, the city gate official looked melancholy, because he recognized that the knight was wearing a costume belonging to the northwest, and at the same time, the location was also in the northwest.

12 years of city gate pavilion, similar expedited, he picked up at least hundreds of times, almost every time is not good news, could it be that there is something going on in the northwest, the calamitous Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia can not stop.

Some people even began to think that when the war came, it was almost certain that the price of food and some necessities would rise, and it would be unknown how much it would rise.

At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves also broke the peace of the Privy Council, and the similar eight-hundred-mile expeditious, especially with the red flag, could be sent directly to the Privy Councillor, and even ordinary officials did not have the right to receive it, it was not an emergency military situation, and it was stamped with the governor's seal, who would dare to do this.

Han Qi is in the northwest, and has made a lot of preparations for this military battle, but the soldiers are dangerous, on the battlefield, anything can happen, is it possible, what danger did Han Qi encounter, and he was defeated.

When military news can only be transmitted through post roads and through these expedited transmissions, some people like Han Qi, with the title of privy envoy, as long as they don't retreat, when they are fighting outside, they don't take the initiative to contact the rear, and the rear wants to know his information, it is really not easy, and the entire Northern Song Dynasty center doesn't know what happened.

Jia Chaochang happened to be on duty, when the knight was led to him, after he knew the direction a little, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to say calmly: "Say, what's the matter, so urgent!" ”

"Congratulations to Jia Xiangye, a great event!"

"Great joy!" Jia Chaochang rolled his eyes, it took eight hundred miles to expedite, and it was a big event, you are here to make a joke.

The knight didn't explain much, took out the letter, Jia Chaochang verified the lead seal fuse on it, and after everything was fine, he opened the package.

Inside the package, there are a lot of letters, and there are a lot of them, and there is a simple explanation on it, Han Qi used very short words to write down the whole process, take Lingzhou, capture Xingqing Mansion, and divide Western Xia.

"What!" Even if it was as stable as Jia Chaochang, he couldn't help but cry out.

You must know that Han Qi's action this time is controversial, and in this operation, will it usher in consequences if he rashly angers Liao and Western Xia.

Han Qi used real intelligence, plus other things, especially the material support of the Daimyo's Mansion, to convince this side, and the Privy Council's request was that it must be foolproof.

Of course, to the extent of Han Qi, it is impossible for him to make a military order or something, which is impossible, because of a certain matter, the removal of a high-ranking official is too much, but there are necessary restrictions, and it must be foolproof.

In Jia Chaochang's view, even if it is Han Qi, it is just to occupy some border cities, so that in the future, the Northern Song Dynasty will be in a more favorable position for Western Xia, but no one thought that it was Lingzhou.

Jia Chaochang didn't care about anything, and directly began to flip through it, and read all the letters clearly at a glance.

Almost holding his breath and barely giving up any detail, it took a stick of incense to watch the whole process.

How to say it, there is no thrilling, no caution and boldness, it seems to be very simple, that is, smooth, step by step to achieve the ultimate goal.

Lingzhou was so occupied, and it was pushed forward for 30 miles, occupying a piece of land of the boss, Xingqing Mansion was also occupied, and it was the first hand obtained by the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, there is a lot of compensation, and Balabala Jia Chaochang doesn't care, he pays attention to Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao didn't catch it and ran away, but the impact was not great, because at least 700,000 people were lost in Xingqing Province, including more than 200,000 troops and more than 500,000 soldiers and civilians.

There are only a few people in Western Xia, millions of people have died, Xingqing Mansion, and before, there are no less than one million losses, most of these are young and strong, and they are all young and strong people who can be used as the basis for the loss of these people, which is more terrible than the land, even if Yuan Hao can really defeat the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty, it will never be possible to have the prestige of Western Xia before.

One of the confidants of the Northern Song Dynasty was killed like this, although the ultimate culprit, Yuan Hao had not yet caught him, he had already escaped, retreated to Suzhou, and with the help of Suzhou's military horses, hit about 30,000 people.

Yuan Hao, who was unwilling to fail, completely became a rogue, and he began to frantically attack all the Liao troops, and even began to enter the territory of the Liao State.

These also make sense, is it the relationship that Liao's combat effectiveness is too strong, this is somewhat possible, but with such a strong combat effectiveness, the Northern Song Dynasty was allowed to gain so many benefits.

450,000 head of livestock, of which more than 100,000 are cattle and horses, Jia Chaochang is a privy envoy, but he still knows about the government, he knows very well that 100,000 head of cattle, for the Northern Song Dynasty, this price can not be determined.

But when he saw what Han Qi said in the end, he reached an agreement with the Liao State to exchange about 250,000 sets of infantry armor and other equipment for the livestock of the Liao State in the border market, his heart was furious, didn't he take the country's heavy weapons to fund the enemy, but when he looked at the numbers behind, even he couldn't sit still.

stood up directly, patted the case and said, "This is impossible!" ”

Bu Renjia is the important weapon of the country, even if Han Qi, as the chief assistant, rashly decides this, he is also vulnerable to impeachment, this is the Liao State, the biggest enemy of the Northern Song Dynasty, what is the difference between helping the Liao State and stabbing the Northern Song Dynasty.

But after looking at the exchange object after that, even he couldn't speak, this exchange ratio, this exchange number, and even to put it bluntly, even if it was only a quarter of this number, he couldn't refuse.

500,000 horses, not to mention the quality, as long as they are alive, it is a lot of money, not to mention 2 million cattle, 6.5 million sheep, these to the Northern Song Dynasty, can play a role, it is unimaginable, with this sum of nearly 10 million livestock, in exchange for the previous was only worth more than 2 million yuan, now not even 200,000 yuan, I am afraid that people who are not in the water in the brain, will agree to this exchange.

The previous reason for opposing Han Qi no longer exists in the face of this terrible number, and the only thing Jia Chaochang doubts is the authenticity of this matter.

I suspect that Han Qi will not be able to achieve the level of privy deputy envoy, Han Qi cannot be a brainless person, and it is impossible to make up something that obviously has loopholes and is easy to judge because of his political achievements, and when the time comes, he will conjure up such a large number of things.

He is worried that some people are fishing in troubled waters, such as buying a post station and forging these things, although the probability is a little low, but it is still easier to accept the transaction with nearly 10 million head of livestock.

However, Zaisuke's fuses, including the head manager's fuse, are constantly changing, and even the lead seal is also particular, this can't be accessible to the bottom station, he has checked it before, no problem.

But there was another thing that the envoy took out to dispel Jia Chaochang's concerns, because, in addition to Han Qi's letter, there was another contract, the original of the contract initialed by Han Qi and Liao Xingzong.

On this original, there is Han Qi's temporary signature and the explanation and fuse of the Liao State, not only the jade seal of Liao Xingzong, but also the private seal of Liao Xingzong and the fuse of the Prime Minister of Liao State.

Liao Xingzong itself was stamped with a jade seal, and under Han Qi's request, and in addition to the Northern Song Dynasty, such a result was finally formed, and the fuses in all aspects were complete.

This is a formal contract, there are certain specifications, and even the fuse specifications belonging to the Liao side are known, only the Li Fan Yuan knows, and even Jia Chaochang doesn't know about it, how can this be faked.

Is it true? Among the countless impossibilities, there is only this one with a reasonable explanation, and it is impossible for the bottom to know the fuze, let alone know the specifications and fuze of the Liao State.

Jia Chaochang has already believed in eighty or ninety percent, this is a big deal, it has always been a big problem on the Northern Song Dynasty, Xixiabi has completely moved away, even if Yuan Hao can be flipped, there is not enough population and land, how to flip, they have taken the key place of Lingzhou, even if Yuan Hao recovers, the pressure on the northwest will be reduced, and it is really a good way to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

At the same time, Jia Chaochang also began to prepare for the recital of the court meeting, and all the previous preparations were invalidated, and it can be said unceremoniously that in the next month or two, the government of the Northern Song Dynasty will be completely focused on this matter, and there can be no other choice.
