Chapter 483: Zhao Zhen's suspicion
"That's a good point."
This sentence can be regarded as speaking in Alatan's heart, and he nodded in agreement.
"This Su Shi must be killed, if we don't kill this henchman, we have to sleep with one eye open and one eye closed, it's really uncomfortable."
"General Takami." Gai Zhenchun slapped it with the next sycophant.
"Well, I know what you general means, so what do you need me to do next?" Alatan had a long-lost smile on his face, and when he looked at Gai Zhenchun, he seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye.
"General, what our general means is that before the arrival of our Liao army, we must find a way to entangle Su Shi, and we can't let him leave, let alone let him go to Langu City to join Wang Xin's department, otherwise, if you want to eat him, it will be even more laborious." Gai Zhenchun opened his mouth and said, this is also the main purpose of his trip.
"No problem. There have been frequent fights between our two sides before, and General Ben also knows that this is that Su Shi is training his subordinates, and I didn't want him to succeed, that is, the Liao army will be in the future, so I will leave him in this way. ”
Alatan is also a smart person, and he saw that Su Shi's purpose in skirmishing was to train soldiers, which made him a little disliked. The general below even came to report, saying that the combat effectiveness of the Song army was increasing day by day.
Originally, he wanted to prepare for a big war, and he was not ready to make a small fight to make Su Shi cheap, but as soon as the messenger of the Liao State came, Alatan had to change his mind.
"Okay, so it's hard for the general, please rest assured, my army has set off from Xincheng, and it will arrive soon, at that time, we will cooperate with each other, there will be more than 100,000 troops, and killing a Su Shi is to be captured." Gai Zhenchun laughed.
"Hahaha." Alatan was also laughing, "Well, the general is waiting for that day to come early." ”
After Gai Zhenchun reached an agreement with Alatan, he quickly left and returned to his life. Meng Cai also released a part of the cavalry that had shrunk here, and it was a picture of continuing to fight with the Song army.
On the third day of Gai Zhenchun's departure, on the opposite side of the battlefield, Meng Cai changed his intention to avoid the battle a few days ago, and suddenly started a small-scale active attack, and the news also reached Su Shi's ears at the first time.
"It's been two days?" After Su Shi heard about Meng Qi's actions, his first feeling was that something was wrong.
Knowing that they were training, Mengqi not only did not stop them, but also cooperated with them, what did they want to do?
Two days ago, the news from the Black Horse Scout was that Alatan was forming an alliance with some small and medium-sized tribes that had entered the Song Land that had not submitted to the Kaqi tribe, and that the Mengqi on the front line had also begun to retreat.
At that time, Su Shi thought that Alatan would fight with him again.
For this reason, Su Shi has already begun to do battle rehearsals. But now, the other party suddenly changed his routine, which made Su Shi a little incomprehensible.
The so-called abnormal thing is a demon.
Su Shi believed that something must have happened that he didn't know about.
Speaking of which, after Su Shi went to the land of Liao and Mongolia, he has completely changed history.
In real history, during the period of Song Renzong, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State have always lived in harmony and non-aggression with each other, except for a few years of war with the Western Xia.
As for the so-called rise of the Mongolian people, there is no such thing at all.
Now, because of Sushi, everything has changed.
The Mongols exploded their potential in advance, defeated the Liao, and entered the Song land, with this danger in the north.
Things have developed so far, Su Shi doesn't know whether it is good or bad, and the history in his mind has turned into useless work.
Unable to find the answer he wanted from history, Su Shi ordered the two scout squadrons to continue to spread outward and increase the reconnaissance range.
In fact, at this time, Su Shi had a feeling that Mengqi must be waiting for something, could it be that the Kaqi tribe had increased its troops again?
Or did the Mengqi secretly reach some joint agreement with the Liao State or the Western Xia?
Thinking of this, Su Shi shook his head, it was impossible to cooperate with Western Xia. Wang Xin was now between Mongolia and Western Xia, becoming a solid wall that blocked the convergence of the two sides.
If it weren't for Western Xia, only the Liao State would remain.
Could it be that the Liao army is coming?
It's just a pity that Meiyang is only a staff member of the Southern Courtyard, and his status is still a little low, and it is already a good result to be able to find out that Liao is going to send troops, but he can't count on it if he wants to know the specific situation.
Su Shi was a little suspicious, but without the support of real intelligence, he still didn't make a targeted decision, and he still had to wait and see.
While Su Shi was waiting for the scout squadron to send back the news, the first batch of wounded soldiers and deserters came back from Bianliang City.
When these wounded soldiers and deserters appeared in the south of Bianliang City, the entire Bianliang City was in a sensation, and many people ran over to see the excitement.
In the Zichen Palace, Zhao Zhen also saw Su Shi's book that came back with the wounded soldiers and deserters.
In the book, Su Shi made an explanation and report on the situation in nine sentences that were true and one sentence was false.
It is written in detail the unbearable state of the reserve forbidden army.
4,000 people were defeated and retreated by 2,000 Mongolian cavalry, and while the losses were huge, there were also many deserters.
If it weren't for the fact that the black horse appeared at a critical time and saved the overall situation, I am afraid that Su Shi would really die before he could get out of the army.
The unbearable preparation of the forbidden army made Zhao Zhen's brows furrow tightly.
In the past, Zhao Zhen always attached great importance to the forbidden army.
Not to mention anything else, Zhao Zhen has to inspect the 300,000 forbidden troops outside Bianliang City at least once a year.
Whenever he was inspected, he would always have a sense of pride when he saw the mighty army wearing red armor and looking at the neatly arranged forbidden army, which was one of the signs of the Great Song Dynasty's strength.
This is also one of his Zhao Zhen's hole cards.
Even if the sky falls, even if the north and west borders are defeated, as long as there are 300,000 forbidden troops in hand, Zhao Zhen is not afraid of any opponents and enemies.
I believe that with them, there is no enemy that cannot be defeated, and there is no situation that cannot be reversed.
But now, after seeing Su Shi's recital, Zhao Zhen began to doubt himself.
Although the Reserve Forbidden Army is not a forbidden army, as long as the time comes, it will automatically become a member of the forbidden army. Then they are all so unbearable, is the forbidden army really that strong?
What does it seem majestic to prove?
What's the use of fighting a war just by relying on prestige, it still depends on the combat power, isn't it?
What is the use of a neat arrangement of lights?
Line up for the enemy to kill?
"Am I looking too highly at the forbidden army, if I have the opportunity, should I let them go to the front line to exercise, otherwise the good people will be raised as small flowers in the greenhouse, and they will be wasted."
Thinking like this in his heart, Zhao Zhen's eyes fell on the black rider written in the letter again.
According to what Su Shi said, some of these black horsemen are the elites of a hundred battles who have been to the land of Liao and Mongolia, and this time they also heard that the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, so they gathered together to protect their families and defend the country.
For this statement, Zhao Zhen didn't believe a word.
If the Black Rider really has such a mind, why don't you make a move before Su Shi appears, but must wait until you reach the northern realm?
This is simply the hole card that Su Shi has prepared.
The last time Su Shi came back, he said that most of the more than 3,000 Su family troops were killed in battle, and he only brought back more than 200 people, he had doubts.
It's just that there is no evidence of this, and this is not closed. Now it seems that Su Shi really hid a hand, but what did he want to do by hiding these elites of a hundred battles?
As soon as he thought that in his own country, there was a team that did not belong to his own control, or the elite of a hundred battles, Zhao Zhen felt so uncomfortable all over his body. "Someone, pass on Chen Lin."
Zhao Zhen decided to take advantage of this opportunity to let the secret spy department investigate, and if possible, it was best to plot against them and use it for his own use. If not, then kill them after the great battle.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Zhao Zhen at this moment showed the decisiveness and ruthlessness that an emperor should have.
In Bianliang City, the wounded soldiers and deserters appeared in the morning, and in the evening of the same day, when the city gate was about to be closed, the second group of wounded soldiers returned.
Also returning with the prefect of Xinzhou, Zhu Qian.
Zhu Qian was locked in a wooden cage and pulled back. I heard that when I entered the city, my crotch was still wet.
Although there were not as many onlookers as during the day because the city gate was about to be closed, they were still seen, and then the news of Wenchen being scared to pee his pants on the battlefield began to spread rapidly.
As soon as the news came out, I don't know how many things in the minister's house were smashed in the Jingshi.
In the 100 years since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, it is the first time that someone dares to humiliate a scholar in front of the people of the world, and it is still the capital of a state.
For a while, I don't know how many courtiers worked hard overnight, writing various recitals to impeach Su Shi.
Quoting scriptures and classics, Jinxiu articles leap on the paper.
At this moment, in the eyes of these scholars, Su Shi was written as a person who was unforgivable due to ten evils.
It seems that even a thousand cuts can't express the anger in their hearts.
The generals also learned the news that Miyako had been beheaded for refusing to fight. But they have to be much calmer, and there are even many people who think that Miyako deserves to die.
These people can't go to the book to impeach Su Shi, after all, if they are the leading generals, they will also be severely punished when they encounter a war-fearing general like Miyako. Maybe they don't have the courage of Su Shi to dare to kill people on the spot, but they will definitely do it if they are removed from their posts and sent to the capital for trial.
The generals were angry with Miyagu, but at the same time, they were angry at Su Shi's killing move.
Why, Miyagu, you killed it directly, but you sent that Zhuqian back, don't you dare to kill Wenchen?
Is this bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?
With this move, Su Shi offended Wenchen and angered the generals, and neither side got any benefits.
In the Zichen Palace, Zhao Zhen looked at this book, but he was far less angry than the other courtiers.
Reinforcements fought fiercely with the Mongolian cavalry outside the city, in order to rescue you Xinzhou. But you will be very angry if you are a reinforcement yourself.
Some people died, but not completely......
