Zhao Ji was on top of Genyue, climbed high and looked down, looking at Kaifeng City in front of him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His expression was calm, but those who knew him well knew that beneath that was a cloud of anger.

"Where's the old lady?" He asked.

"The old lady has said that she is not feeling well since a few days ago and is recuperating in bed." The attendant whispered.

"Ha, he's sick for a while, he's not feeling well, he's not feeling well......"

Zhao Ji spit out these words from between his teeth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The Son of Heaven was angry, ambushed millions of corpses, and bled for thousands of miles!

But at this time, he could only hold back his anger, took a deep breath, and then glanced at Gao Yu beside him: "You are the palace marshal, Jingzhong...... How many more soldiers can be scraped together? ”

The Great Song Jing Division originally had 400,000 forbidden troops, but in recent years, there have been endless wars in Hexi, and several troops have been transferred from the Beijing Division, although they have been supplemented, but they are insufficient. and then Gao Yu was appointed as the palace marshal, he was very good at acting, training arrays, etc., but in fact, the forbidden army was sent by him to various workshops and workshops, squeezing oil, weaving, grinding flour, burning bricks for him, doing these things for a living, or selling favors to him, and going to the mansion of the powerful in Beijing to be a long-term helper, but there were only more than 100,000 people who could really fight.

These more than 100,000 people, except for a few who stayed in Beijing as the emperor's honor guard, the rest were taken away by Tong Guan, and now that the army is defeated, a considerable part of these more than 100,000 people cannot come back, and it must be a mourning voice when they want to come to Beijing.

Gao Yu was in a trance for a moment, and then reluctantly said: "If you only make up the number of people, you can make up 100,000, but it is like the elite brought by Tong Guan...... At most, there are only 20,000 people. ”

"Elite...... Hehe, being beaten so embarrassed, dare to call it elite? Zhao Ji said sharply, Gao Yu lowered his head deeply, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Zhao Ji was stunned for a while, and then closed his eyes a little tiredly: "Zheyan is still in the capital, summon him to see His Majesty." ”

His own palace envoy went out to summon Zhi Yan, Gao Yu was silent, the Northern Expedition failed, and the Western Army also participated, but now that the forbidden army in Beijing is unusable, I am afraid that it will have to be transferred from the Western Army, so Zhao Ji will summon Zhi Yan, who is familiar with the Western Army, to ask the right.

It's just that Zhao Ji didn't know, but he knew very well that under Tong Guan's strict order, Liu Hai of the Western Army commanded 100,000 horses and horses into the desert to pursue Li Chengqian, the lord of Xia, but the result was defeated and the whole army was wiped out, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Western Army. In this Northern Expedition, 100,000 people have been transferred from the Western Army, and then men and horses have been transferred...... I am afraid that the border guards in Taiyuan are understaffed.

Zhao Ji didn't think so much at this time, until there was the sound of eager footsteps outside, and then, Zhao Yu, the king of Yan, appeared in front of him, and he squeezed out a little smile: "Why is Twelve Lang here?" ”

"The official family, the official family, is the loss of Yanjing true or false?" Zhao Yu gasped and asked after calming down a little.

Zhao Ji frowned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that his brother had been an idle prince for a long time, and the news was probably a little ill-informed.

He said quietly: "A little setback...... What's the matter, what news did Twelve Lang hear? ”

"Oops!" Zhao Yu was stunned: "My bonds...... At this point, the news has not yet been confirmed, and I have to get rid of all the bonds! ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, then understood, and was shocked and angry in his heart.

He remembered that among the Jingshi, there was such a powder keg!

These war bonds are related to nearly 100,000 households, that is, hundreds of thousands of people, and if you add the families of those forbidden troops in Beijing, I am afraid that one-fifth to one-quarter of the families in Beijing will be involved in this matter.

If it is said that the Beijing Division is forbidden to the army, there is still a possibility of survival, but after the defeat of the Northern Expedition, the war bond will inevitably depreciate, and as soon as the news of the defeat is confirmed, the bond will fall sharply!

Zhao Jiran was terrified.

Li Gang and Wu Min guessed wrong, Zhao Ji did not entrust Cai You to ask about the solution to the war bond problem, it was purely Cai You pulling the tiger skin as a banner. Zhao Ji has a frivolous temperament, and he has not thought of the issue of war bonds for the time being, and his first consideration now is not even how to deal with the defeat of the army, but how to save his face.

Of course, he wanted a victory to save face, so he asked Gao Yu if he could still draw troops, and then he summoned Zhiyan to ask for advice. But internally, Zhou Quan's foresight made Zhao Ji feel both ashamed and jealous, and it was the first time he was so jealous of a courtier.

But when Zhao Yu said this, Zhao Ji realized that this was the urgent need!

It is related to the belongings of hundreds of thousands of people in Beijing, and even many people have gone bankrupt just to gamble on the appreciation of bonds, but now they have become a pile of waste paper!

"You made this matter, can't you erase it?" Zhao Ji glared at Zhao Yu and said.

Zhao Yu suddenly complained, this Northern Expedition war bond was originally going to be handed over to the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce for issuance, but first, Zhou Quan did not agree, and secondly, the clan also wanted to make a fortune with the war bond - one of the main forces to speculate its price in the market was the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce run by the clan, so others could withdraw, but the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce could not withdraw!

"Official, royal brother, you can't ignore this matter!" Zhao Ji sighed, didn't argue, just begged Zhao Ji.

He knew that the emperor's family was rich, and in the past few years, Zhou Quan has not given the emperor's brother less money, not to mention anything else, he copied two or three million yuan of cash from Zhu Mian's house, all of which were regarded as shares of the Beijing-Xu Railway.

"For a while, where can I find so much money to sweep the tail for you, you go and see my inner library, it's so empty that you can run mice!" Zhao Ji roared.

He did have money, but he also spent a lot of money, and although there was still some money in the treasury, he did not dare to touch it, and he did not dare to touch the money in the treasury.

If the north is unstable, he will still count on this money to recruit warriors and deal with unexpected changes.

"How's that good?"

"Don't ask me, in the past few years, you have also made a lot of money through the Tianshui Chamber of Commerce, and now you should post it!" Zhao Ji saw his brother's pitiful appearance, sighed and said: "If it is insufficient, I will paste another two or three hundred thousand ......."

"But the bond is now worth 7 million ......"

Zhao Ji almost came to be angry, at this time, his virtuous brother was still counting on the high price to fill the vacancy!

He suddenly understood in his heart that he was afraid that many bonds were in the hands of the clan, and they were actually not for the people, but for themselves!

They did not want to suffer losses, so they thought about the treasury and the inner treasury, hoping to make up for it from this side, and even hoped to profit from it.

"Twelfth brother, you ...... Stand down, I still have something important to do here! ”

"What about the war bonds?" Zhao asked awkwardly.

"What else can I do? Whoever breaks into the trouble, whoever cleans it up by himself, I will take out 300,000 yuan at most, and my money will be used to make up for the people, not for you! After I go back, tell them that the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are not only mine, but also theirs, and if they are not willing to give up this money, don't blame me! ”

After Zhao Ji yelled Zhao Yu away, he finally sat down weakly.

The prosperous Jingshi in front of him, the original picturesque rivers and mountains, but now he can't arouse his interest in playing, and even Genyue makes him feel a little eyesore.

"Li Bangyan, say whatever you want!" Out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Ji suddenly saw Li Bangyan there wanting to speak and stopped, and said in a deep voice.

"The minister is worried about the safety of King Yun." Li Bangyan said worriedly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them showed strange expressions.

If there is a big victory ahead, Li Bangyan mentions King Yun, that is to ask for credit for King Yun. But there was a big defeat ahead, and he mentioned King Yun at this time, which meant that the defeat was also related to King Yun!

I had never heard that King Yun had offended Li Bangyan, and he stabbed him at this time......

But Zhao Ji's face changed greatly: "You mean ......"

"As far as the minister knows, Zhou Quan once said that this Northern Expedition, if it wins, it will be fine, if there is a defeat, my Great Song Dynasty is false and real, and it is all known to Liao and Jin. And the land of Hebei, the terrain is flat, easy for the enemy to ride to, Tong Guan has been defeated twice, both defeated by the enemy cavalry raid, if the enemy has a partial division, cross the border into the direct attack on the Daimyo's mansion, then the King of Yun is in a worrying situation. The son of a daughter, he can't sit down, let alone the prince? ”

Hearing Li Bangyan say this, everyone swallowed their saliva, and secretly praised this person for being able to speak.

In this way, it will definitely impress Zhao Ji!

Zhao Ji also nodded involuntarily, he heard the implication of Li Bangyan's words, it is impossible for the Liao people to use the partial division to cross the border and go deeper, but Tong Guan has lost two games in a row, if he loses again, the Sanggan River cannot be defended, he can only retreat to the original Song State, and even continue to retreat south, not only all the states and counties seized by Zhou Quan will return to the hands of the Liao State, but even the territory of the Song State will become a battlefield for the Liao people to plunder.

In that case, the Daimyo's Mansion would be in danger. The Daimyo's Mansion is in danger, and Zhao Kai, who stays here as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, will be in danger.

But this seems to be a suggestion that cares about Zhao Kai's safety, but in fact it is a hidden trap. Zhao Kai was counting on the Northern Expedition to replace Zhao Huan as the crown prince, but now that he has returned to Beijing, it is equivalent to escaping, at least for a short period of time, he and his comrades have no face to mention the matter of replacing the prince.

"Let the people immediately send a decree to summon the king of Yun back to the army, and go to his post of generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and the deputy marshal will ...... Tong Guan succeeded him, and he was the deputy marshal......"

Zhao Ji dictated his will, and naturally someone was recording it quickly, but before his words fell, he saw a palace envoy hurrying over: "Eight hundred miles of gold medal express delivery!" ”

"What's the matter, the front wins?" Zhao Ji asked impatiently.

"Tong Guan ordered the seed master to move to Zhuozhou, met the Liao army in the Huliang River, the two sides fought in the field, and the seed master was defeated...... Seriously injured and incurred! Tong Guan has retreated to Yishui, and he asked the court for reinforcements! ”

Zhao Ji just wanted to use the Seed Master Dao as the deputy commander, but he never thought that the news of the third defeat would come again!

Not only came, but this battle was even worse than the previous two battles, not a cavalry raid, but in a head-on battle, it was defeated by the Liao army, and even the Western Army, which had originally maintained a relatively complete formation, was almost wiped out!

At this time, the Northern Expedition army of Zhengyan can really be said to be exhausted, and the Hebei gateway of the Great Song Dynasty has also been opened!

Zhao Ji only felt a buzzing in his ears, his body swayed, he heard someone exclaiming, someone running, and then he fell backwards. (To be continued.) )
