Li Qiande, who was woken up by the eunuch overnight, was undoubtedly very depressed. In his mind, if there is nothing urgent and he dares to wake him up from his dream, these eunuchs will also be beheaded. On this late autumn night, the cold palace is warm with the concubine's bed!

In fact, not only Li Qiande, the emperor, was dissatisfied, but also the concubines who were with him. It's hard to enjoy some grace at night, but there is some emergency, and the emperor needs to give instructions overnight, isn't this a waste of her hard-to-get opportunity?

But as a confidant eunuch beside Li Qiande, he knew very well what the battle report sent by Qinghua meant. Although the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, they were not too afraid of the Great Song Dynasty. But it was also based on the premise that they didn't think that the Great Song Dynasty would attack the Li Dynasty.

At present, the Great Song Dynasty not only sent troops to the Li Dynasty, but also almost adopted the rapid means of undeclared war. Before the Li Dynasty could prepare, the army had already arrived at the port of Thanh Hoa. Where can this be delayed? If you really stay until tomorrow, you may be beheaded.

Li Gande, who walked out of the concubine's bedroom, said very dissatisfiedly: "Little Lizi, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, you should be careful of your head!" Say, what is it that makes you have to disturb my dreams? ”

The chief eunuch immediately bowed his waist and said: "Your Majesty, if it is not an urgent matter, give the old slave a few heads, and dare not disturb the emperor's rest!" Previously, the defender of the city would bring a post guard into the palace overnight and hand over a report on the urgent battle of Qinghua for 800 li. The Great Song has invaded! ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Qiande, who was heading towards the imperial study, was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Are you saying it again? Who invaded? ”

Manager Li could only say again: "Back to the emperor, it was the army of the Great Song Dynasty that invaded Thanh Hoa. Said the postman when he came. The Great Song Dynasty has invaded Thanh Hoa Harbor. Our water army, I'm afraid we can't resist it! ”

Faced with Manager Li's clear words, Li Gande was also shocked. Thinking of what happened during the day, he immediately realized that this time the Great Song Xingbing came to attack, I am afraid that it was premeditated!

Otherwise, how could it be that as soon as the war book arrived, their army would be in Qinghua. Didn't even reserve a little time for Li Chao? This is the rhythm of something big! All of a sudden, Li Qiande's mind cleared up.

Quickened his pace and said, "Spread my will." Immediately convene the six ministers to enter the palace. In addition, let the post man from Qinghua. Wait in the study. I want to know how many soldiers the Great Song Dynasty sent this time, and who sent them! ”

As the monarch of the Li Dynasty in the prime of life, Li Qiande, who is now over thirty years old. Undoubtedly, the last year was strong. Plus all these years. He's also a hard worker. The national strength of the Li Dynasty has also increased a lot.

But this doesn't mean that he can really ignore the invasion of the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone knows that the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty have been staring at the northwest these days. When their strategic focus shifts. It's time to keep an eye on these small southwestern countries.

If this is the case, the Great Song Dynasty, which raised the strength of the whole country, is not something that the Li Dynasty can fight against at all. And Li Gande quickly realized that this time the Great Song Dynasty came prepared, but he was afraid that the plot was very big!

Knowing that this situation is related to the fortunes of the country, the eunuchs in the palace are naturally not careless. With the emperor's will overnight, he went to the palace of the six ministers to deliver the decree. Hearing the urgent summons, the ministers were also shocked, and hurriedly crawled out of the bed.

When the six ministers gathered, Li Qiande, who had already summoned the post guards, asked the post guards to tell these henchmen about the situation in Qinghua. Knowing that the Great Song Dynasty really raised troops to invade this time, these ministers were also shocked.

At this moment, Li Qiande asked: "Li Aiqing, the military intelligence spy of the Great Song Dynasty has always been in charge of the Ministry of War. Why did the Great Song Xingbing this time have no warning from the military department? With so many sailors going out, why didn't the military department receive the news? ”

Li You, who is the secretary of the military department, quickly said: "Back to the emperor, as far as the minister knows, the strength of the Great Song Dynasty's naval army is not strong. If the minister guessed correctly, the person who invaded Thanh Hoa this time is likely to be the prince of Qiongzhou.

Some time ago, the merchant paid tribute to the emperor's glaze, which was produced in Xinnancheng under the rule of the king of Qiongzhou. From the mouths of those merchants, it seems that the king of Qiongzhou seems to have a good strength in the water army.

Your Majesty, do you think it will be the last time our navy entered Qiongzhou Island to plunder. Let this king of Qiongzhou know, so he specially sent troops to attack Thanh Hoa, and wanted us to give him an answer? ”

Regarding the speculation of this military secretary, Li Gande was very dissatisfied and said: "Li Aiqing, what I want is real evidence, not any speculation. In any case, this time the Great Song Dynasty Xingbing Qinghua, I must teach him a lesson.

The three armies of Wusheng, Baosheng, and Wanjie were ordered to immediately set off for Thanh Hoa as a whole army. The enemy of the Great Song Dynasty must be completely annihilated in the territory of Thanh Hoa. At the same time, the two armies of Shendian and Longyi were ordered to leave the Friendship Pass and attack the states of Guangnan in the Great Song Dynasty.

Secondly, the general order was issued to all the armies of the country to assemble and guard the border passes everywhere. This time, I want to let the Great Song know the consequences of easily sending troops to the Li Dynasty. I didn't bother them, but they came to me for trouble, how can it be true! ”

Seeing that Li Gande was angry, Hubu Shangshu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, if you are so prosperous, I am afraid that the war will not subside in a short time." In this way, the reserves of the treasury may be insufficient! ”

Facing the words of the Hubu Shangshu, Li Qiande frowned and said: "I know the situation of the Hubu, there are still two months before the winter. In this battle, I have no intention of starting a full-scale war with the Great Song Dynasty. I only want to tell the Great Song monarch not to provoke me easily.

Their troubles in the northwest have not subsided, and they have come to the southwest to provoke war, is it really easy for me to bully? All you need to do is prepare all the supplies and send them to the armies according to my will. I have my own way of doing other things. ”

Seeing that Li Qiande had already made a decision, the other ministers didn't have much to say. This kind of war of mobilizing the army means that the whole Li Dynasty must be mobilized. If you are not careful, it will be the disaster of the country!

But what they didn't know was that with the arrival of dawn, the five Heavenly Son Army stationed in the Imperial City began to urgently assemble and rush to their respective war zones. Pingbian City, which borders Dali, has ushered in the attack of a large number of Dali troops.

Looking at the Dali army that was coming to invade, the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty in Pingbian City couldn't figure it out. Why did Dali suddenly raise troops to attack, and when he tore up with the Dali army, he urgently reported the news to the imperial court.

At the same time, the people of Lang Son City woke up in the morning. But he suddenly learned that the road leading to the outside of Langshan was surrounded by the army of the Great Song Dynasty. And these armies, when they will break through the friendship barrier, they don't know at all.

Duan Yu, who led the troops on the expedition for the first time, also knew very well what this expedition meant. In order to fight this battle well, Zhao Xiaoxi, the second uncle, can provide them with a lot of exquisite weapons and armor.

The corresponding military salaries, grains and grass were also provided by Zhao Xiaoxi, and what Dali really had to do was nothing more than to send troops. For Dali, this is a very rare opportunity to train soldiers, and Duan Yu naturally hopes to gain something.

The border city in front of him has always been the border city of the Li Dynasty's key prevention and control. Around this border city, the border people of the two countries also fought privately. Over time, it has also become the best place for military training for both countries.

But Duan Yu knew very well that if he wanted to have a strong city defense than the Li Dynasty army, as an attacking party, Dali actually had to pay a lot of price. It's just that this opportunity is rare, and Duan Yu also wants to give the people of Dali a peaceful future.

Looking at the Dali soldiers who kept pouring up the city wall and were pushed down by the defenders of the Li Dynasty, Duan Yu, who was watching the battle from the rear, really wanted to go into battle in person. Ba Tianshi and the others who came with him naturally would not let him risk his life.

At this moment, a herald stepped forward and said, "General, the material team sent by the Great Song Dynasty has arrived at the camp. That General Zhao said that there was a confidential matter to report. ”

As soon as he heard that the second uncle had sent someone, Duan Yu quickly said, "Don't hurry up yet!" ”

Not long after, a fierce man arrived, and said to Duan Yu: "Zhao San under the command of the king of Qiongzhou, see the prince of the world!" ”

Duan Yu also knows that these people who gave the surname Zhao are all Zhao Xiaoxi's henchmen. Immediately, he said: "General Zhao has had a hard time all the way!" I don't know what your prince asked you to send this time? ”

Zhao San smiled and said: "The prince knows that the Li Dynasty will stick to the city, and the army will suffer heavy casualties even if the city is broken." Therefore, in addition to letting his subordinates escort a batch of grain, grass and weapons, he also deliberately asked his subordinates to bring a strong army to break the city. ”

Facing the mysterious smile on Zhao San's face, looking at the falling Dali soldiers in front of him, Duan Yu said with an appreciative expression: "Oh! I don't know where this broken city army is, this king wants to see it for himself! ”

Under the guidance of Zhao San, Duan Yu and the others came to the rear camp and saw a group of people in armor who looked very inconspicuous. What made them curious was that these armored men were empty-handed, and they didn't have a single weapon in their hands.

Perhaps seeing the curiosity on their faces, Zhao San said in a timely manner: "Lord Shizi, whether they are strong soldiers or not, just send them to the battlefield to try." It's just that my subordinates hope that the prince won't blame me for waiting. ”

If they can break the city for them, how can they blame it?

Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxi likes to sell Guanzi, Duan Yu didn't say anything, and directly ordered the army to cooperate with this seemingly inconspicuous reinforcement to attack the city. And during the siege, these armored men all held an altar one by one.

This strange costume, not to mention the dumbfounded officers and soldiers of Dali, even the defenders of the city were dumbfounded. I don't understand, how can these people attack the city with an altar? Could it be that they could still throw the jar upstairs from downstairs?

Not to mention, with a few stone wagons that were also quickly erected, they were carried out of the city. These reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty brought stones of great weight, put them in trays, and threw a few stones into the city.

The soldiers of the Li Dynasty inside were slightly frightened, and they also felt that this kind of stone-throwing cart was often seen in siege battles. As long as you are careful to dodge, there must be no problem.

But is it really that simple?

It wasn't until these reinforcements began to change into jars that a cruel smile immediately appeared on the faces of Zhao San and the others. Seeing this smile, Duan Yu knew that the defenders in the city were in trouble! (To be continued......)
