Zhao Yan's carriage ran wildly all the way, although the coachman had already waved the whip "pop", but Zhao Yan still kept urging him to hurry up, just now he saw the people sent by Zhao Shu, but the other party sued him, the Western Xia side finally fought, and Zhao Yan also went to the battlefield, but the messenger only knew so much, and the specific experience had to ask Zhao Shu, which made Zhao Yan anxious.

It was easy to wait for the carriage to rush into the palace, Zhao Yan immediately jumped out of the car and rushed to the vertical arch hall where Zhao Shu was, but he had just arrived outside the palace, but he saw Huang Wude guarding outside, and when he saw him, he immediately stepped forward and said: "The king of the county is waiting, His Majesty is discussing with several ministers, it is estimated that he will have to wait before he can summon the king of the county!" ”

Zhao Yan originally entered the palace to inquire about the news of Western Xia, but now seeing that Huang Wude was the same, he immediately pulled him to a corner outside the palace and asked anxiously: "Old Huang, tell me quickly, what is the situation on the Western Xia side, how did the eldest brother run to the battlefield, is there no one to dissuade the civil and military officials on the front line?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Yan cared so much about Zhao Xuan, Huang Wude couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, King Ying, although His Royal Highness King Yingwang went to the battlefield, there is no danger, and although it is not a good thing for us to send troops in Western Xia this time, His Royal Highness King Yingwang has done well enough, if there is no accident, it should not affect our plans for Western Xia!" ”

Zhao Yan couldn't help but look at him in surprise when he heard Huang Wude's words, and then immediately asked what happened, Huang Wude's location was outside the door, in fact, he was also ordered by Zhao Shu to explain the situation in Xixia to Zhao Yan first, so he didn't hide anything from Zhao Yan, and only after Zhao Yan listened to Huang Wude's narration did he understand the meaning of what he said just now.

The Imperial City Division is responsible for the collection of intelligence, and some information is time-sensitive, so the Imperial City Division is in order to quickly transmit information. There are special people in the subordinate institutions to domesticate carrier pigeons, known as the flying slaves, this morning the flying slaves suddenly received a war report from Weizhou, the Western Xia lord Li Liangzuo led 100,000 troops from Tiandu Mountain south to attack the Great Song Dynasty, but was intercepted by the main force of the Great Song Dynasty led by Zhao Ji in Sanchuan Village, and the two sides launched an offensive and defensive battle under Sanchuan Village. The Great Song Dynasty side held the camp and the walled city, and did not fight a decisive battle with the Western Xia people at all, and Li Liangzuo did not dare to attack other places in the Great Song Dynasty around Sanchuan Village, so he could only order people to desperately attack Sanchuan Village, hoping to defeat this group of Song troops who blocked the attack, but unfortunately every time it was in vain, which also made the war in a stalemate.

Zhao Yan only knew that the Western Xia was ready to attack the Great Song Dynasty at any time, but he didn't expect the Western Xia people to attack so quickly, you must know that the Western Xia had just been defeated by the Liao State a few months ago. In just a few months, they almost couldn't prepare anything at all, and they attacked the Great Song Dynasty, which was stronger than them, which only shows that the Western Xia people did not take the Great Song army in their eyes at all.

However, this time, Zhao Ji and the veteran Yang Wenguang and others accurately judged the location of Li Liangzuo's troops, and mobilized the main army to Sanchuan Village in advance, but they just met the Western Xia army led by Li Liangzuo, and blocked the other party to the death, and now for Zhao Ji. You only need to hold Sanchuan Village to the death, after all, the Great Song Dynasty army dragged up. But Li Liangzuo couldn't afford to delay, as long as he couldn't capture Sanchuan Village, then he could only reluctantly retreat.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he still asked with some unease: "Lao Huang, how is the shape of Sanchuan Village now, and does our Great Song Dynasty have the upper hand when it fights with the Western Xia people." Big brother, will there be any danger for him to stay in Sanchuan Village? ”

"Weizhou has been sending news to the capital non-stop, but because of the long distance, the battle reports I received were all three or four days ago, and now no one can say for sure the situation in Sanchuan Village, but judging from the information I just received. At least three or four days ago, Sanchuan Village was still firmly in the hands of His Royal Highness King Ying, although the Xixia people launched countless strong attacks, but they were all in vain, and even His Royal Highness King Yingwang's army did not use firearms at all, so it can be seen that our Great Song side is still at ease. Huang Wude patiently explained again.

"Huh, so the battle situation is in our favor, I hope there will be no accidents!" Zhao Yan finally sighed after hearing this, but he still had some blame in his heart for Zhao Ji not knowing the severity, with his identity, if there was an accident on the battlefield, then even if he destroyed Western Xia in the future, it would also be impossible to recover the loss of the Great Song Dynasty, this is because Zhao Yan knew that among the four of their brothers, only Zhao Ji was the most suitable to be the emperor, if he died, the Great Song Dynasty would face a big problem of inheriting the throne, and if it was not done well, it would cause civil strife, so Zhao Yan's safety was also related to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty.

Next, Zhao Yan asked Huang Wude about the details of Sanchuan Village, such as how high the wall of the village is, how many people are stationed in peacetime, how many people Zhao Ji has brought, how many grain reserves, etc., Huang Wude also told everything he knows, but because Sanchuan Village is too far away from Tokyo, Huang Wude has a limited understanding of the current situation of Sanchuan Village, and he can't answer some questions.

In this way, Zhao Yan waited outside for about an hour, and then saw Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu and others walking out of the hall while discussing, Zhao Yan immediately stepped forward to say hello to Han Qi and the others, and then hurriedly entered the main hall, but as soon as he entered the main hall, he was startled by the layout in the main hall, and saw a huge square wooden plate placed in the middle of the main hall, which turned out to be a sand table invented by Zhao Yan before, and Zhao Shu was standing next to the sand table studying something.

Zhao Yan strode forward, and saw that this sand table was full of small flags representing the troops, and there was a model of a walled city in the center, so he immediately thought of Sanchuan Village, and couldn't help asking: "Daddy, is this the sand table of Sanchuan Village?" ”

Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Zhao Shu couldn't help but look up and smile at him: "Yan'er, you are here, this is indeed the sand table in the area of Sanchuan Village, speaking of which, your eldest brother has really made a great contribution this time, if you can keep Li Liangzuo's army here, so that they can't advance an inch, it is estimated that at most a month, the Xixia side will not be able to hold on!" ”

Zhao Yan also stepped forward when he heard this, and then lowered his head and seriously looked at the situation of the two armies on the sand table, only to see that the yellow and black flags on the sand table represent the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, of which the yellow represents the Great Song Dynasty, and the black represents the Western Xia, on the whole, the number of yellow and black flags is about the same, which shows that the strength of the two countries is not much different, of which the Song army is mainly concentrated in the area of Sanchuan Village, and there are two armies stationed on the flank, in response to each other, and the Western Xia army is mainly stationed in the north of Sanchuan Village, The border where the two armies intersect is staggered, and the fierceness of the battle can be seen at a glance.

"Daddy, the Tangut people are menacing this time, and the troops led by the eldest brother are not dominant, what if those Tangut people rush in, the consequences are unimaginable!" Looking at the sand table in front of him, Zhao Yan's heart, which had been put down, was raised again, and he asked Zhao Shu at the moment, first, he was afraid that Zhao Ji would be in danger, and secondly, he was also worried that the Western Xia people would rush in and bring huge losses to the Great Song Dynasty, and even lead to the miscarriage of the war plan against the Western Xia in the future.

"Hehe, Yan'er, you don't understand military affairs, that's why you ask like this, although the number of troops brought by your eldest brother this time is not superior, but he only needs to defend Sanchuan Village, speaking of which, although our army of the Great Song Dynasty is not the opponent of the Xixia and Liao people in the field, but when it comes to the method of defending the city, it is the first in the world, so unless the Xixia people have several times more troops, don't want to break through Sanchuan Village!" Zhao Shu heard Zhao Yan's words, but explained with a smile again.

"But even if that's the case, you don't have to let the eldest brother stay in Sanchuan Village in person, so did Daddy make a holy decree to let the eldest brother withdraw to a safe place?" Zhao Yan said worriedly again.

"It's late!" As soon as he heard Zhao Yan mention Zhao Ji, Zhao Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "If it was before the war with the Tangut people, I could still give an order to let your eldest brother guard in the rear, but now that your eldest brother has arrived in Sanchuan Village, and it is the critical moment when we are fighting with the Tangut people, your eldest brother can not only stabilize the morale of the army there, but also boost morale, but if he leaves suddenly at this time, maybe people will think that we can't support it, and then it will definitely be discouraged, and I am afraid that if we are not defeated, we will be defeated. So now you can only let your eldest brother stay there, he can't come back if he wants to! ”

In order to personally fight against Li Liangzuo, the lord of the Western Xia, Zhao Wei deliberately used a military order to block the news of his trip to Sanchuan Village for several days before he went to Sanchuan Village, and when Huang Wude received the news, Zhao Ji had already arrived in Sanchuan Village, and the Xixia people had also sent troops, at this time Zhao Shu not only could not let Zhao Ji leave, but also ordered him to stick to Sanchuan Village, which is estimated to be what Zhao Ji hopes the most.

"Big brother is really ......" Zhao Yan wanted to talk nonsense, but thinking that Zhao Yan was the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, it was not wrong to do so, and it even proved that he was a bloody prince, and it might be a good thing to let him see the cruelty of the battlefield.

Next, Zhao Yan accompanied Zhao Shu to study the sand table for a while, and listened to some of Zhao Shu's nagging, and then he was released from the palace. In fact, the reason why Zhao Shu called him here was to tell him the news of Zhao Xu, and on the other hand, to chat with him, after all, Zhao Shu, the son of Zhao Xu, ran to the battlefield disobediently, and Zhao Shu, as a father, must be very worried, but as an emperor, he couldn't show himself in front of the minister, so he could only let another son accompany him to relieve the pressure in his heart.

Zhao Yan thought about the war on the border along the way, and at the same time worried about Zhao Yan's safety, and when he returned home, he immediately ordered the kitchen to make more canned food, and then loaded it into the car and sent it all to Zhao Ji in Sanchuan Village.
