The fall of the border prefecture and county is already a sure thing, the Jinyang army Yingzhou defenders were besieged, and they don't know whether they survived, because of the poor grain transportation, the defenders of the Yingzhou Jinyang Army have been retreating to the main city to stand still, of course, Wu Jue is in the name of grain, and he did not break the court to cut off the whole army, but the resentment between the lines can not be understood.

The main pillar of Hedong Road, the important town of Taiyuan, is actually in chaos, there are pacification envoys, transport envoys, warehouse envoys, constitutional envoys, garrison forbidden troops, archers and native soldiers, and regimental training are strong, and even law and order can not be maintained! Countless losses of goods and goods, hundreds of casualties, several places of grain were burned, if it weren't for the fact that the Jinyang army was moving to Taiyuan Mansion and was ordered to enter the city to quell the chaos, but whenever there was an invading Jurchen army horse ranger here, it would easily seize the most important Hedong Road on the East Song River!

If the Hedong Road continues like this, it is possible that the whole country will be defeated, and no matter who the enemy is, he will easily press to the edge of the Yellow River, and crossing the frozen Yellow River will be a flat river, which can reach Bianliang.

During the period when the Great Song Dynasty was the capital here, it was originally the most huge burden in terms of strategy, and when the war with Liao was tense, several times it was planned to move the capital, and once the Liao people made peace with the alliance, they forgot about this matter to the clouds, and now the old things were picked out again, and everyone was in a hurry, and found that Bianliang was prosperous and wealthy, and it was really fragile!

Hedong affairs must be dealt with, but how to deal with it?

The first thing that matters is the soldiers and horses, is it possible to pull out the Western Army again? Mobilized the Western Army to go to Jiangnan to quell the chaos, and finally the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, the imperial court had already spent a lot of effort and spent a lot of money, in addition to the fact that there were no soldiers and horses, but also planned to weaken the Western Army, which was already a little too big to lose.

This time, the Western Army struggled back easily, and there were already some complaints that they would no longer come out of the Zhulu in Shaanxi, and they wanted to transfer them out again. Without half a year and a year to mobilize, don't even think about it, what was the situation in Hedong at that time, there was no need to ask, maybe the enemy had already forced to Bianliang City!

For the first time in history, the Jurchens went south, although it was King Qin. There are no conditions to talk about, everything is simple, the Western Army also came quite late, and it was not the whole army that came out, at most half of it, after the Jurchen encircled Bianliang, the Western Army only went out of Guandong and arrived at Bianliang, after the Jurchen withdrew from the siege, Qinzong, who took over the position of the father, easily threw the Western Army in the direction of the besieged Taiyuan. As a result, the main force was defeated in the first battle, the Jurchens quickly counterattacked, and when they surrounded Bianliang for the second time, the rest of the Western Army basically could not be mobilized, and these remnants later became the Wu army in the Southern Song Dynasty, the remnants of Shaanxi, and Sichuan. It is the place where the remnants of the Western Army are de facto feudal towns.

The soldiers immediately went up, and after thinking about it, they still had the idea of fighting the Jinyang army. In Wu Jue's recital, the hint could not be clearer, because since he was stationed in Hedong, he was treated poorly from top to bottom, and the army had no fighting spirit, so he retired to Taiyuan. If the status of the Jinyang Army can be maintained, there is still room for maneuver in Hedong affairs, and the Jinyang Army can fight alone, although the success or failure is not guaranteed, but it can always block the enemy and let it not pass the Yellow River. Arrive at the foot of Bianliang City.

The princes of the deliberations all felt frustrated, although if the Jinyang Army was available, it would at least be able to buy time for the imperial court to deal with the situation, but it was really tasteless, such an unruly military horse could not be dealt with!

The soldiers and horses brought out by Yang Ling, the important ministers planted in their hands, counted all the way from Tong Guan and others, I don't know how many there are! In addition to soldiers and horses, there are also military expenses, the Great Song Dynasty military horses, as long as the army fights, the cost is astronomical, the original court sent the Jinyang army to the border, it was given hundreds of thousands of guan, if the Western Army knows, it is estimated that the big tooth can laugh off.

Once the Jinyang army is to fight, this food and salary can no longer be dealt with in this way, the huge deficit pulled down by the imperial court in the past few years is far from being filled, relying on Yang Ling's secret rebellion from Yandi to the general means of management, the Jinyang army is only a little better, but for such a huge empire, Yang Ling's actions are basically a drop in the bucket for the court.

The Great Song Dynasty has money, but there are too many people who share the profits in the middle, and some Zhao Ji is unwilling to take out the income of the inner treasury, and the number that can really be subsidized to the three divisions is still too small, according to common sense estimates, this is at least tens of millions of military expenditures, Rao is the local accumulation of Hedong Road to subsidize a little, and the three central divisions must at least take out more than half, six or seven million figures running upward, where will the imperial court get this money?

But in the event of a war, rush to print a new term of money as a military salary, those soldiers do not admit it, and want to increase the issuance of banknotes, as soon as the market hears this news, I am afraid that the money market that has been struggling to maintain will collapse immediately, although there is no modern financial knowledge, but this simple financial management principle, the Song Dynasty Sansi still knows.

Compared with the Republic of China, which is said to be extremely exemplary in later generations, with so many international students, doctors and masters, Tex can issue fiat currency gold yuan coupons with their eyes closed, and under the shock, this is the most important thing to deal with the Hedong Incident, but there is still no result.

In fact, for these old foxes, isn't it not that the most difficult decision is handed over to Zhao Ji to do, and their own family will have less responsibility at that time.

Everyone pretended to be stupid, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, this Jinyang Army, this Yang Ling, I'm afraid that I'm going to turn over again, but I don't know who is going to be unlucky, this person, life is as hard as a sudden!

But for Zhao Ji, this determination is not easy to make, and under the anxiety, he can only be patient, and summon the important ministers to the ban every day to ask the right, but for these important ministers, there are too many things to consider, how can they come up with a clear attitude within two days.

No matter how Zhao Ji asks for advice, he can't get the point, the center of the court, the atmosphere has been tense these days, even if it is forbidden, there is no singing and dancing in the past, everyone has a premonition that there is a big storm brewing, but no one can say for sure, what this turmoil will be!

……

Cai Xiang's mansion, this time a team of Yuan with the guards, surrounded by the winter clothes and horses hurriedly came, the prime minister's guard of honor, the scale is very large, pedestrians on the road, have to avoid, the carriage and horses stopped outside the gate, a few clever inner courtyard listening to the maid has greeted out, four strong little men carrying a step respectfully waiting, in the support of several delicate maids, the current prime minister Cai Jing drilled out of the car.

On weekdays, Cai Jing, who has always paid attention to health preservation and is very well maintained, although he is old, he has always waved his hand and retreated, preferring to walk a few steps at home, evacuate and evacuate his muscles and bones, and slowly shake into the inner house, but today, he has a tired face, his loose eye circles are a little blue, and the layers of wrinkles are denser than those of the next day, and the color of decay is more obvious.
