Chapter 237: Urgent Report from the Court

Under the city of Huairou. In the evening, various messages kept coming, Rao is Xiao Xiaoyou wanted to be calmer, but he still couldn't help but thunder, and all kinds of items in the temporary tent became the object of his venting, and he fell to the ground in a mess.

Changping City was actually breached by Su Shi, and not only that, but millions of various materials inside were also burned down.

This is the war readiness material that supports the entire Daliao border army. It is no exaggeration to say that these things were burned, and the Liao army lost the ability to continue fighting.

If the Song army had been killed at this time, they would not have been able to repel them within a month, and they would have to retreat because they did not have enough weapons, armor, saddles, bows and arrows, etc.

"Su Shi, I will definitely take your head." After a while, Xiao Xiaoyou couldn't help but scold.

"Come on, send all the scouts to search for me, and I must find out the location of the Su family's army. All the troops moved in the direction of Changping City, this time we won't stop if we don't find the Su family's army, we won't stop the army! The angry shout sounded, you can imagine how angry Xiao Xiaoyou was in his heart at this moment.

In the following time, the scouts of the entire Liao border army took action, and their main area of activity was near Fengsheng Prefecture and Ulzhou.

The corpse of the Liao army in front of Juyong Pass has been discovered, and after knowing that Su Jiajun left here, Xiao Xiaoyou analyzed that it is very likely that Su Shi went to Fengshengzhou from here after capturing Changping City.

After such a catastrophe, Liu Liufu is already dead, normally speaking, Su Shi and Su Jiajun should consider returning to the Great Song Dynasty, then Ulzhou will be a must-go place, as long as you focus there, it will not be difficult to find the target.

That's basically what everyone thinks. But the question: Is Su Shi an ordinary person? After he left Juyong Pass, he didn't want to return to the Great Song Dynasty at all, or he knew that the focus of the Liao army would be on Ulzhou next, if he really went south, it would only collide with the main force of the Liao army, and the more than 3,000 Su troops in his hands at that time were a little insufficient.

In line with the idea of avoiding its edge, Su Shi did not go south, but chose to go north, and once again bypassed Jinshan Mountain by moonlight and ran to Bei'anzhou.

This is indeed the best way to get out of the enemy's encirclement, but if it is replaced by other people, even if they know it, they will not dare to do so.

Especially now that we are in the middle of August, it looks like we are about to enter September, which may not be felt much in the south, but in the late autumn and even in the north, winter is coming.

In the north of this era, winter was not only colder than in later generations, but also longer. Even the locals are afraid that they will not survive due to lack of preparation.

Not to mention an army without the slightest logistical replenishment. It's just that all these problems are nothing in front of Su Shi.

If you are cold, you will wear more clothes, if you are hungry, you will eat more, and if you are sleepy, you will have a warm military tent for everyone to rest, as long as Su Shi comes with the army, the Su family army does not have to worry about the problem of insufficient logistics supply.

The problem is that Xiao Xiaoyou doesn't know this. After sending a large number of scouts to Fengshengzhou and Ulzhou, and not even a shadow of the Su family army was found, he had to turn his gaze in other directions.

Finally, at the beginning of September, a scout came with the news that they had found traces of the Su family army in Bei'anzhou, and they also found a Liao cavalry patrol army of about 100 people in Jingguan.

Knowing that Su Shi actually went to Bei'an Prefecture again, Xiao Xiaoyou's first reaction was that his head was big. Before, Su Shi had made a huge move in the building hall in Bei'anzhou, which once caused the Liao Xingzong to be angry.

Now that Su Shi has gone over there again, what does he want to do? Could it be that Liu Liufu is dead, and he won't stop?

Bei'anzhou, which is not far from Zhongjing, and even to the north, it is not too far to go to the capital of Liao.

Could it be that Su Shi really wants to rely on his own strength to smash Huanglong directly? Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Xiaoyou immediately wrote a note and sent it to Shangjing at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

After that, a lot of heralds were also arranged to warn the states, prefectures, pavilions and other places near Zhongjing and Shangjing, so that they could strengthen their vigilance, and once they found the traces of the Su army, they must not send troops to suppress them, but must strengthen the defense, and at the same time send the news out.

In short, before Su Shi and Su Jiajun are found, the vicinity of Zhongjing and Shangjing need to be strengthened to prevent the reappearance of the building hall and Changping being broken down.

After doing everything, Xiao Xiaoyou sat on a chair with a map of the entire Daliao in front of him, and began to seriously think about where Su Shi might be.

It's not the first time I've done something like this, but every time it's not just a futile, it's always a sneak attack from the other party.

Su Jiajun is like an ant that is pervasive and inaccessible, and he will always appear unexpectedly in a place where he has no defense, which is a headache.

"Where is Su Shi, seeing that winter in the north is coming, doesn't he have to worry about logistics and supplies?" When he muttered this, he couldn't help but think of what Liu Liufu said to himself before he died, that is, even if he was sleepy, he had to trap Su Shi in Liaodi, let Su Shi be taught how to be a man in the cold winter, and finally let the heavy snow completely drown him.

...... Bianliang City. A six-hundred-mile urgent document was sent to the imperial city with a wooden box.

This morning coincides with the day of Hajj. Renzong Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and listened to Fan Zhongyan report on some achievements after the implementation of the new policy in front of the Manchu Dynasty.

History has proven that when a new reform is introduced, it will always encounter problems of one kind or another.

In order to implement it, it requires not only the unwavering confidence of those in power, but also the external and internal environment.

Su Shi went to Liaodi to seek revenge, which was regarded as a crooked attack to block all external pressure, so that the reform of the Great Song Dynasty did not have to worry about being damaged by external forces, thus greatly accelerating the implementation of the New Deal.

The external problems are solved, and the internal problems also need to be solved. During this time, Fan Zhongyan has been looking for a solution, and he talks to people almost every day, wanting to get more people's support, but obviously the effect is not very good.

The so-called reform refers to the implementation of a new policy to overthrow the original profits, and replace them with a new group of people.

The effect of the conversation was not very good, so Fan Zhongyan had no choice but to exert pressure from top to bottom, and after asking Zhao Zhen for instructions, he reported the various achievements of the new policy in front of all the important ministers in the court.

This was a tentative move by Fan Zhongyan, even in the process of reporting, he deliberately avoided some powerful figures, and just announced some of the achievements he had obtained.

He meant to warn the others that if you still want to resist privately, the next time you report to the court, don't blame him for naming certain people.

Speaking of which, Fan Zhongyan is a person with ideals, ambitions, and strict discipline. Such an idealistic courtier is indeed the best person to promote reform.

But it is a pity that he did not do two things well, which doomed his new policy to failure. First, although the beginning of the New Deal came to the support of Renzong.

But Zhao Zhen's personality is not very strong, and he can't do what he says, and it is easy to retreat once he encounters setbacks.

If everything goes well, it's fine, but if there is a strong obstacle, he may be the first to change his mind and waver.

Second, Fan Zhongyan is too idealistic, although he also wants to win over more people, and in fact he does so, but he does not have too strong a background, and he can't exchange corresponding things with those who have interests.

In the final analysis, the means of implementing the New Deal are too tough, and the waist is too straight, and it is impossible to bow your head when you should bow your head, and under the strong character, it is also doomed to the failure of the New Deal.

In the final analysis, the New Deal is not a real means of reform, but only to get rid of a group of people and replace them with a group of new people, which will not fundamentally solve the problem, and will not be fully supported by people of real insight.

At this time, Fan Zhongyan couldn't see this, with the trust of the official family, he was in high spirits at this time, standing on top of the court, he had a proud appearance of spring breeze, and his voice was very loud.

has unconsciously attracted the dissatisfaction and emotional resistance of some courtiers.

"Report!" Just as the court meeting was still going on, Fan Zhongyan's high-pitched voice was sounding in the hall, and when the courtiers were drowsy one by one, a shout sounded suddenly, attracting everyone's attention and interrupting Fan Zhongyan's report.

The dissatisfaction was written on his face, Fan Zhongyan raised his head, looked at the direction where the voice came, and was a little helpless.

He knew that if he could be interrupted by someone during the court meeting, something terrible must have happened.

Not only Fan Zhongyan, but the other courtiers also turned their heads to look back, wanting to see what was going on.

Zhao Zhen on the dragon chair was still observing the actions of the courtiers, and he wanted to see the courtiers' attitude towards the new policy through observation, and the size of the opposition would directly affect how strong his support would be.

At this moment, a shout came from outside, which quickly attracted his gaze. There are not many rules in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are much more free than other dynasties.

Otherwise, there would not have been Kou Zhun pulling the emperor to fight, and there would have been no Bao Zheng spraying the emperor's face.
