Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Culprit

With the arrival of the army of Fushi Lietaru in Tangzhou, Xiangyang City was suddenly stunned.

Ordinary people are okay, but they don't know much.

However, the officialdom and the squires of the scholar clan knew about it one by one, and the will of the official Zhao Yan had not yet come down, and a small number of squires in Xiangyang City were ready to evacuate, and the principals were all panicked.

Of course, I didn't dare to let my subordinates know, for fear of being blamed and demagogic by the officials and masters of Xiangyang.

In the pacification embassy.

All the officials in Xiangyang were all present.

Pacify Zhang Mingzhi and a number of subordinate officials and shogunates, a number of officials such as the Jingnan Road Transit Division, Zhang Chao and a number of subordinate officials such as the Guanghua Military Festival Envoy, Xiangyang Prefecture governor, judge, and pusher, as well as Li Fengwu of Yazhi County, Zhen, the chief bookkeeper, and Huang Feihong, the county governor.

It can be said that the entire Xiangyang people who can talk have arrived.

The atmosphere is solemn.

Zhang Mingzhi is already the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, as a civil official, he can't see the majesty of the pacification envoy, just an easy-going uncle next door, and his calm face at this time is not intimidating.

raised the document in his hand that was sent from Lin'an in a hurry, and glanced at Zhang Chao, the envoy of the Guanghua Army, and said in a deep voice: "You probably all know about the matter, this document has the will of the official family, and Xiangyang will stick to it!" ”

But it didn't mean anything to show the paperwork to everyone.

Of course I don't dare to show it to everyone.

The official family means that if Xiangyang can't be defended, it can twist and turn and shrink the defense line.

But if this is known to everyone, who still has the heart to fight to the death, in this way, Xiangyang will be lost.

Everyone was silent.

Jingnan Road has always been raised by the queen, and the Great Song Dynasty poured the power of the country to build the two Huai defense lines, and Yu Yunwen and Wu Lan guarded the Sichuan Shaanxi Lizhou Road, but Jingnan Road asked for money and no money.

In the confrontation with the two states of Jinren, Tang and Deng, the troops were not superior.

Now the commander of the 5,000 elite soldiers and the 2,000 cavalry stationed in Tangzhou, the disparity in strength is becoming more and more wide.

According to the intelligence, Tangzhou originally had 12,000 garrisons, 10,000 foot soldiers, 1,000 light cavalry, 500 heavy cavalry, and 6,000 foot soldiers stationed in Dengzhou, so that the strength of Tang and Deng Prefectures reached 25,000!

Twenty-five thousand soldiers, including 4,000 cavalry.

What is even more worrying is that in Ruzhou, behind the Tang and Deng prefectures, the Jin people have 10,000 troops stationed on them, and they can quickly go south to reinforce at any time.

With the current strength of Jingnan Road in Xiangyang, Junzhou, and Suizhou, it is really a bit stretched.

Because Junzhou is at the forefront of the front, there are 10,000 foot soldiers, Suizhou has 6,000 foot soldiers, and in Xiangyang, there are also 10,000 foot soldiers, and there are 2,000 light cavalry - all of which are commanded by Zhang Chao, the Guanghua military envoy.

But this is in name only.

Everyone knows that empty salaries and redundant soldiers have long since made a big hole in the defense line of Jingnan Road.

Don't look at the fact that there are a total of 26,000 foot soldiers on these defensive lines on the Jingnan Road, and if you remove about 30 to 40 percent of the vacancy, it would be very good to have 18,000 people.

And how much is the combat power of these 18,000 people?

In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing, in July, the Jin soldiers invaded the Guanghua Army and were repelled by Zhang Chao, who was made by Jiedu.

On September 27, the Jin soldiers entered the Guanghua Realm and retreated.

In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing, the Jin general Liu Shicao invaded the Guanghua Realm and was repelled by Li Dao, who was under the control of all the armies in front of the Hubei army.

Maybe it's enough to keep it for a while.

But what everyone is worried about now is whether Jinghu South Road and Jinghu North Road will support the Lianghuai defense line or the Jingnan Road defense line, and this issue has not been discussed.

It's also a bit afraid to discuss.

Because the result of the discussion is likely to be to support the Lianghuai defense line that was attacked by the main force of the Jin soldiers.

Otherwise, the official family would not have issued a decree, so that the Jingxi defense line could twist and turn to shrink the defense line at its discretion.

In this way, Jingnan Road will be isolated.

The atmosphere was solemn and morale was low, and Zhang Chao said in a deep voice: "You don't have to be like this, the Jin people's southern invasion is mainly intended to force peace with war, so that our officials can cede Haisi, Tang and Deng Sizhou, and the Lianghuai defense line is the main battlefield. ”

It's a fact.

And for this matter, in fact, Da Song Dan hurts a lot.

Haisi, Tang and Deng were actually controlled by the Jin people, and the peace talks were just an acknowledgment of this fact, and the Jin State could justifiably control the four states, cutting off the ambition of the Great Song Dynasty to go north.

After all, the strategic location of these four states is too prominent.

If the Great Song Dynasty controlled the four states, they could send troops from Xiangyang, and use the Tang and Deng states as a springboard to cooperate with the Xiongshi from Haizhou and Sizhou to take Bianjing directly.

But the Jin people controlled these four states, as if they were choking their throats.

Everyone is scolding their mothers in their hearts, Zhang Chao, you can speak easily, but now who doesn't know, Jin Ren Su Shi Lie Talu led the Jin soldiers to support and stationed in Tangzhou, where is to contain Xiangyang.

It is clearly to take Xiangyang.

Why did the Jin people take Xiangyang...... Combined with the situation in the Great Song Dynasty in the past two years, it is not difficult to see who the culprit is.

Moreover, as soon as Su Shilie Talu arrived in Tangzhou, he took control of the power, and the meaning of the Jin people was obvious.

At the beginning, Su Shi Lietaru was also in Haozhou, so let him come and retrieve the lost face in person!

The Jin people attacked Xiangyang, but they just took the head of the big Song Xiaofeng!

It's all because of Imako's Tanhualang.

Thinking that all these people looked at the culprit Li Fengwu, it was all caused by this guy, if you weren't in Xiangyang, how could there be today's crisis,

Li Fengwu was very embarrassed, and coughed: "The official family appoints the position, and I can't help it." ”

It means that if you want to blame, you will blame the official's family, it was Zhao Yan who asked me to come to Xiangyang to be an official, and it was not Xiangyang that I took the initiative to ask for a job, so you have the ability to go to Zhao Yan's trouble.

After a pause, he said: "And there are two ambassadors sitting in Xiangyang, it should not be difficult to hold the line of defense, as far as I know, in the thirty-first year of Shaoxing, Zhang Envoy repelled the Jin people in the territory of the Guanghua Army, I think it should be familiar with the road." ”

Your sister!

Zhang Chao has the heart to scold.

At this time and at that time, the Jin people who attacked the Guanghua Army in a timely manner were only a few tens of thousands of people, and they also won the battle on the two Huai defense lines, and won a great victory in quarrying.

It was only at that time that he was able to repel the scruples of the golden man.

Now the Jin people have no scruples at all.

There are 100,000 troops on the two Huai defense lines, and tens of thousands of troops are forced on the Lizhou Road, and the Jin soldiers in Tang and Deng states have no strategic tasks.

and take down Li Fengwu's head!

Under such circumstances, Su Shi Lietalu must attack with all his strength, without worrying about being attacked by the Lizhou Road and the two Huai Song armies.

You Li Fengwu really don't hurt your back when you stand and talk.

If you have the ability, you can go and guard one for me?

I think so, but I can't say that, after all, this Tanhualang is just a magistrate and an observer, and it is not his turn to guard the defense line of Jingnan Road.

The real responsibility is still his own festival envoy and Zhang Mingzhi, the pacification envoy of Jingnan Road. (To be continued.) )
