As early as the beginning of the dynasty, Song Taizu set the rule that once a major event occurred in the frontier, the 800-mile emergency report could directly enter the capital and enter the palace without asking for instructions in advance.

So when everyone heard the message, they knew that something big must have happened, but they didn't know if it was related to the north or the west.

In front of everyone's eyes, a soldier wearing the uniform of the Song Army soon came to the court, and when he was still about thirty steps away from Zhao Zhen, he fell to his knees with a thud and said loudly,

"Your Majesty, the acting commander of the Northern Secret Spy Division has an urgent battle report submitted." After saying that, I don't know whether he was tired or excited, the herald who delivered the battle report tilted his head and fell to the ground.

This scene fell into the eyes of Prime Minister Li Di, who was standing in front of the herald, took a step forward, lowered his body and stood up again after a while, raised his head and said: "It should be tired and fainted, come here, carry him down, and wait for him to wake up." After finishing speaking, Li Di also reached out and took the book in the herald's hand, turned around and handed it to Zhang Maoze, the lieutenant who had already trotted down.

Zhang Mao took the book, first checked it carefully, and after finding no problems, he presented it to Zhao Zhen with both hands.

also stretched out his hand to take it, and the book was displayed in front of him, and then there was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhen who was reviewing the book.

Zhao Zhen read the book very slowly, as if he was appreciating a rare treasure, and sometimes he would look at it again after turning over the content he had read before, all of which fell into the eyes of the ministers, and many people were relieved.

Although they didn't know what was going on, it shouldn't be a bad thing, otherwise, I am afraid that the emperor would have been in a hurry for this meeting, and even had to take the case.

Time passed little by little, a not very thick book, Zhao Zhen looked at the time of nearly two incense sticks, and then slowly closed the book, and then waved his hand with a calm face and said: "Read it to all Aiqing and listen to it together." ”

"Yes." Zhang Mao stood next to the dragon case, and at the same time agreed continuously, he stretched out his hands to take the book, first coughed lightly and cleared his throat, then began to read in a voice with a little lack of breath: "The acting commander of the Northern Secret Spy Division of the Ministry of Secrets and Espionage Meng Youde Qi Your Majesty, in June of the fourth year of Qingli, the minister was ordered by the emperor to go to Liaodi alone, to find the traces of Tongzhilang Sushi, and traveled all over Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Shunzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou and other places, and finally found clues, and was covered by His Majesty's grace, and saw Tongzhilang Sushi in the Wuqing area, and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Su family army under him. Or because of the frequent wars, the rest of the Su family's army are all ragged, scarred, sleepy and lacking, if the ministers have not seen it with their own eyes, they really can't believe that this is in the Liao realm for thousands of miles, so that they have a headache, and they are frightened by the Su family army of the Great Song Dynasty..."When Zhang Mao read this, many of the courtiers were moved.

Especially some courtiers who have led troops to the battlefield have made up a slightly tragic picture in their minds.

Come to think of it, if the lone army reaches in, without any help, there is a shortage of soldiers, food and clothing, and even if the weapons are full of holes, how good can it be?

I really can't imagine how the Su family army won one battle after another in that environment.

Although Zhao Zhen had seen it, when he heard this, he was still infected. Before, he waited for Su Shi to come back and ask how their battlefield logistics and supplies were solved, but now it seems that they can't solve it at all, but use their bodies to carry it.

That really hurt these Su family soldiers. Zhang Maoze's voice continued, and everyone's faces were constantly changing because of what was said in the book.

As Meng Youde played, after finding Su Jiajun, he tried his best to persuade Tongzhilang Su Shi to return to the Great Song Dynasty, but Su Shi refused because the enemy was not dead, and he would not withdraw from the Liao realm.

When they heard this, some of the courtiers had an unnatural look on their faces. Especially Dazong Zheng Zhao Yunrang.

Before, he looked down on Su Shi a little, just a young man, with leg diseases, and the blood of other Zhao clans that the official family disliked, he really didn't dare to think that such a person could have any future.

At least if he and Su Shi were in the opposite position, he would not agree to let him go to the capital, but would hide far away, for fear that others would notice him.

Su Shi did the opposite, not only came to the capital, but was also given an official position by him, and he usually did things very high-profile.

This really fulfills the old saying, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Zhao Yunrang believed that for a person like Su Shi, it would be a matter of time before he lost power, and if there was a day, it would be impossible for him to leave Bianliang alive.

And such a person dares to take the initiative to offend himself. If it weren't for the fact that Su Shi had interests and cooperation with the Li family, the Miao family, and the Cao family, I am afraid that if he stretched out a finger at will, it would be enough to twist him to death.

But it is such a person, not to mention walking thousands of miles in order to take revenge, and he really made him famous in Liaodi.

This is irrefutable evidence that more than 100,000 troops were transferred from the Liao State to encircle, chase and intercept. has made enough money and gained a lot of fame, so it is said that he should accept it when he sees it, but because the enemy is not dead, he still doesn't want to let go.

Such a persistent person had to make Zhao Yunrang have a trace of jealousy in his heart. He didn't even dare to think about what kind of situation it would be if he provoked this person and targeted him specifically at himself.

It's really a toad landing on its feet, and it's not frightening to death but also disgusting to death. Thinking of this, Zhao Yunrang wished that Su Shi would die in the Liao Realm, and if this person was lucky enough not to die, then when he returned triumphantly, it would be better not to provoke him.

Even if he does it, he will not be in the forefront, unless he can knock him to death with a stick, otherwise don't do it at will, it is really endless.

The ministers here still have different thoughts, and some people are still thinking, this Su Shi is really a stubborn character, is he really not killing Liu Liufu and not returning it?

But there are only more than 1,000 people left under him, if Liu Liufu is in the capital city, why should he kill the other party, and what capital does he have?

Is it possible that if you don't take revenge, you really won't come back? Just when everyone was thinking about this, Zhang Maoze's voice continued to sound, talking about Su Shi's battle in Shimen Town and the elimination of 3,000 elite cavalry of the Liao army.

It was also because of this incident that Liu Liufu, who had already led the troops to the battle, was so angry that he was forced to vomit blood and die.

"What? Liu Liufu is really dead! The news resounded like a thunderbolt in the main hall.

Many of the courtiers' faces changed drastically, as if they had seen something damn about it. If it were usual, the death of an important Liao minister like Liu Liufu should have been passed back.

It's just that now because of Su Shi, the relationship between Song and Liao is very tense, and the border is full of scouts running on horseback, so that the news has become closed.

Ministers one by one, you look at me, I look at you, although there are still some people with suspicion in their eyes, but no one will be stupid to question, how can the things said in the secret spy department's recital be false, don't they know what it means to bully the king?

Zhao Zhen on the dragon chair, his face became extremely ruddy at this meeting, and he couldn't help but praise Su Shi in his heart.

By the way, there is also Meng Youde, who played the book, it seems that there are still capable people in the secret spy department.

In the main hall, Zhang Maoze's voice continued to sound, talking about Liu Liufu's death and Su Shi's preparation to return to the Great Song Dynasty.

There is no surprise to everyone. If you can get such results, if you change it to yourself, then you should come back, which is equivalent to success.

Everyone understands the truth that they will accept it when they see it, even if Liu Liufu is dead, there is no need for Su Shi to stay in the Liao Realm.

Besides, there are only more than 1,000 people under him, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything. Just when everyone was thinking like this, Zhang Mao's voice that continued to sound really slapped everyone.

It turned out that Su Shi had overheard Meng Youde say that the materials of the Liao army in the south were in Changping City, and then Su Shi decided to prepare troops to go out of Changping City in order for Song Liao to have a longer peace.

"Is he dying?" The sound of gasping quickly sounded in the main hall. They were all surprised by Su Shi's boldness, even if they knew that Changping was the place where the Liao army hoarded military resources, needless to say, the defense there must be very strict, and they were afraid that even if they sent a large army, they might not be able to fight it, not to mention that the Su army only had more than 1,000 people, so it couldn't be done at all.

Zhao Zhen was happy when he heard this. There is no emperor who doesn't like capable courtiers, and he doesn't like the kind of courtiers who take the initiative to share the king's worries.

It's just a pity that such people are available but not sought. Especially when it comes to risking their lives, there are even fewer courtiers who can still stand up for worries.

Often there is such a one, it will be heavily recorded in history, and a model of loyalty will be staged.

In the Renzong Dynasty, there were still many celebrities, and there were many capable people. is like the Yang family general, Hu family general and Bao Heizi in the romance, etc., which have been passed down for thousands of years and have become familiar to most people.

But romance is romance, and the real reality is that there are still a few people who are willing to give their lives to share their worries for the king.

Those who are able to do what they are capable of and those who are wise do not. This is the truest portrayal, and those who have both the ability and courage are very few, or even none.

In such an environment, Su Shi stood up, how could he not let Zhao Zhen sigh with emotion.
