The official Zhao Ji was confused, as if he was helped up to the Wansheng Building in the west of Kaifeng Mansion, he looked out of the Wansheng Building, and what he saw was the black and oppressive soldiers and horses, covering the entire earth and extending to the horizon.

Countless black flags were waved in the wind, all kinds of siege equipment had been erected, the sound of golden drums and horns came in waves, and occasionally there were cheers in Khitan language.

The sound was overwhelming, and countless people were roaring together: Break Kaifeng and destroy the Song Kingdom!

The Khitan army is approaching the city, and the Great Song Dynasty is in danger!

With an exclamation of extreme fear, when Zhao Ji woke up from the nightmare, he was already soaked with sweat.

"Official?" The beauty beside her was awakened, and she raised her elbows to support her delicate body, so that Zhao Ji's addicted body appeared in front of Zhao Ji's eyes under the faint light. Empress Dowager Liu's voice was soft, "But you have a nightmare again?" ”

"It's okay......" Zhao Ji shook his head, the scene of the Khitan soldiers coming to the city in a dream made him frightened.

Since the news of the fall of Dingzhou City came, Zhao Ji has never slept peacefully. He originally thought that the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty was very powerful, the Western Xia was also flattened, the Qarakhanid Dynasty was destroyed, and even the Persian Great Food knelt down.

But I didn't expect that the Khitan and the Western Xia, Qarakhanid, Persia, Dashi, and a group of people from the Tianzhu Kingdom were completely different!

The war with the Khitans had only been fought for a long time, and the governance of Dingzhou Road was seized by the Liao soldiers! Moreover, the main force of the Hebei West Road, the 4 generals led by Zhong Fu, a total of 40,000 (the number on the books, including auxiliary soldiers), and the tens of thousands of people accompanying them, are likely to have been eaten by the Khitan army.

In addition, the two generals stationed in the Guangxin Army and the Ansu Army also suffered heavy losses in the confrontation with the Khitans, with a total loss of nearly 10,000 soldiers.

And a general stationed in Dingzhou also lost more than 8,000 people in the Battle of Dingzhou, which can almost be regarded as the total annihilation!

That is to say, on the battlefield of Dingzhou Road alone, since the start of the war, excluding the militia and people, the losses of the Song army have been as high as 18,000! If Zhong Fu's troops were to be wiped out in the end, the number of losses would jump to 58,000 at once......

In addition, Zhendingfu Road and Gaoyangguan Road, as well as Wu Haogu, the Xuanfu Division directly under the command of the Ministry also reported losses totaling more than 10,000 people.

In the blink of an eye, almost 70,000 troops were wiped out...... Well, of course, it's the troops on the books that have been defeated!

Empty quotas or anything, they don't exist! The Great Song Dynasty is a civil official who doesn't love money, military attaches are not afraid of death, and eunuchs are not lustful, how can there be tens of thousands of vacancies?

Even if there is, now is a good opportunity to write off the shortfall.

Therefore, a considerable part of the losses reported by various sources are empty soldiers, which only exist on the books, but in fact there are none.

However, Zhao Ji didn't know the doorway, and when he saw the following report, he really thought that the Liao soldiers were very powerful, and in a blink of an eye, he had defeated so many elite soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Yang Jian!" Zhao Ji shouted. "When?"

Not far from the couch, a shrill voice sounded: "Back to the official's house, it's only three watches." After a pause, the voice said, "Official, Yang Duzhi left Beijing for Hebei yesterday, and it was the slave Liu Youduan who stayed straight tonight." ”

Liu Youduan is the confidant of the Empress Dowager Liu, and the place where Zhao Ji stayed tonight is a little wrong, so the person who stayed directly is also the Empress Dowager Liu's popular Liu Youduan.

"Hebei ......"

Zhao Ji was silent, he remembered that Yang Jian had been sent by Zhao Ji to Jiehe to serve as the supervisor of the Hebei Road a day earlier, when the news of the fall of Dingzhou had just come - the situation on the West Hebei Road was so bad that it did not seem to be a reason to remove the military supervisor who was responsible for supervising the battlefield of the East Hebei Road.

But Zhao Ji still sent his henchman Yang Jian to replace Tan Zhen, who did a good job...... Of course, there is a reason for such a personnel arrangement, Yang Jian rushed to Jiehe Shang City with Zhao Ji's secret decree.

The content of the secret decree is, of course, to sue for peace with the Khitan.

The 70,000 troops on Hebei West Road are probably gone, what kind of flowers can Wu Haogu play on Hebei East Road? Even if he won a few games, he took advantage of the absence of the main force of the Liao army. When the Khitan army is pressed to the east, Wu Haogu will not be wiped out?

The annihilation of his entire army is still a trivial matter, what if the Khitan Emperor personally leads a large army south from Dingzhou Road? Less than 800 miles south of Dingzhou is the Yellow River, and after crossing the Yellow River, you can go to Kaifeng Mansion City.

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed!

Thinking of the death of the country, Zhao Ji couldn't sleep anymore, and sat up suddenly, "Go prepare hot water and wait for me to change my clothes!" ”

"Official ......" Empress Dowager Liu saw Zhao Ji's worried face, frowned, and whispered, "Don't sleep a little longer?" ”

Sleep more? How can you still sleep? When you close your eyes, it is the scene of the Khitan army approaching the city! Fortunately, Zhao Ji has a strong body that is not like the Zhao family's son of heaven, if he is replaced by Zhezong and Shenzong, he may be sick now.

"Official," Empress Dowager Liu looked at her brother-in-law with a panicked look, "It's better to let Gao Yu preside over Hebei's military affairs." ”

Zhao Ji frowned. Empress Dowager Liu's words are interfering in court politics! He named his sister-in-law Empress Liu as the queen mother just to please this young and beautiful sister-in-law (Empress Liu was only 22 years old at the time), but not to let her interfere in court politics.

But this sister-in-law is always a little uneasy, and she always likes to point fingers at the government...... However, it seems to be a good idea to transfer Gao Yu to Hebei, and Cai Jing also meant this when Chongzheng Hall asked the right one yesterday.

"I have my own measure." Zhao Ji responded a little impatiently, and asked Liu Youduan again, "Is there any news of Zhong Fu?" ”

Liu Youduan shook his head and replied in a low voice, "No." ”

"Did Wu Haogu and Tao Jiefu come up?"

"Not either." Liu Youduan peeked at Zhao Ji's face, and said cautiously, "Official, if there is an emergency military situation, the Military Aircraft Department will definitely report it to the official family immediately, maybe the good news is in the past two days......"

"It would be nice to have good news," Zhao Ji sighed lightly and raised his eyes again, "Announce Uncle Zhang and Wang Yu to the Chongzheng Palace!" ”

Zhao Ji summoned Zhang Shuye and Wang Yu late at night to discuss the adjustment of the deployment of the former enemy - Wu Haogu's Xuan Shuai does not seem to be able to fight, and his Yuntai Jiyi Regiment is also exaggerated, and it seems that he has to let the Great Song Tianzi personally command it remotely.

……

"You, what did you say?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister was defeated on the bank of the Sanggan River!"

"So, what about Yanjing City? In whose hands is Yanjing City? ”

"I don't know ......"

At the same time that Zhao Ji was having a nightmare, Yelu Yanxi, who was far away in Dingzhou City, couldn't wait that he was having a nightmare. Because Xiao Baoxian, who came in embarrassment at night, brought him a nightmare and terrible news.

The 24,000 palace army led by Xiao Baoxian (including 8,000 regular soldiers) was defeated by the Sanggan River, with losses of more than 13,000! What's even more terrifying is that Xiao Baoxian didn't know that the city of Xijin Mansion was still under the control of the Great Liao State......

"I don't know what it means?" Yelu Yanxi was about to go berserk.

If you lose it, you lose it, if you don't lose it, you don't know what you know?

"Your Majesty," Xiao Baoxian said with a sad face, "the minister found out six days ago that the Song army of about 50,000 people bypassed Xiaojiabao and headed north, so he abandoned Wuqing County and Xiaojiabao and rushed to Yanjing, wanting to enter Yanjing before the Song people. Who knew that the cavalry of the Song people took the lead, first reached the Sanggan River and the Gaoliang River, and burned two of the three pontoon bridges. The minister sent troops to grab the last one. At that time, the minister thought that such Han cavalry was the best at charging, and most of them were not good at hand-to-hand combat, and there were still our soldiers and horses in Yanjing City. If you can fight a night battle, and then cooperate with the soldiers and horses in Yanjing City to attack the Song army, you may be able to win. As a result, the minister fought hard with the Song people outside Yanjing City all night, but he did not see a single soldier from Yanjing City......"

Could it be that Yanjing City is really lost!? But the walls of Yanjing City are as tall and sturdy as they are, how could they be lost?

Could it be that there are many traitors among the Han people in Yanjing City......

Yelu Yanxi's heart was almost cold when he thought of this, and he sat on the throne and couldn't say a word.

Compared with the gains and losses in Yanjing City, his victory in Dingzhou is not worth mentioning at all!

Moreover, Yanjing City is almost the old nest of Yandi Haoqiang, and most of the parents, wives and children of the soldiers of the Eighth Battalion of the Nanjing Provincial Guards also live in Yanjing City. If Yanjing returns to the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to say whether the eighth battalion of the Nanjing Provincial Guards is surnamed Song or Liao!

If Yandi Haoqiang and the eight battalions of the guards rebelled, the rule of the Great Liao State in the Shannan Prefectures would probably come to an end.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Yanjing City will not be lost, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Ma Renwang spoke at this time, and seemed confident, "The deputy of Nanjing Dao, Yelu Liduo, is a general, and there are many warriors brought out by the Zhenzhou Anfu Army under his command, and he is skilled in arching horses, and he can gallop on the grassland for a few days and nights, and he does not need to rest. If there is really a change in Yanjing, even if Yelu Liduo has no way to deal with it, he should send the news to His Majesty's imperial tent. ”

It seems to make some sense......

Yelu Yanxi frowned slightly, and was thinking about how to clean up the current mess, when the new leader of the Yinsu Zhizhi Yelu Yu walked into the main hall quickly, saluted Yelu Yanxi, and said: "Your Majesty, the deputy of Nanjing Dao, Yelu Liduo, sent a messenger!" ”

As he spoke, he handed a piece of the music to one of Yelu Yanxi's attendants, who in turn handed it to Emperor Da Liao.

The Yelu Yanxi Alliance unfolded the concerto, first swept it at a glance and ten lines, and then let out a sigh, and then read it word by word, and finally threw the recital on the imperial case with a snap.

"The Song army is building a camp between the Sanggan River and the Gaoliang River outside Yanjing City, and it seems that they are making a long-term plan!" He exhaled lightly, and glanced at the ministers in the hall with burning eyes, "Zhuqing, what should be done about the current situation?" ”
