But who would have thought that this move attracted all the enemies, and even the Liao army came out.

At this time, the only thing he could do was to immediately send people out of the city to ask for help from Bianliang City while Xincheng was not completely surrounded.

The main force of the three clans suddenly appeared, and Wang Miao, who was originally guarding Chenghou Mountain, also retreated without an order, although he was reprimanded by Wang Deyong for this, and even wrote this matter on the book, but for the safety of himself and nearly four thousand dragon guards, he couldn't care much.

So far, there are about 110,000 soldiers in Xinzhou City.

But these soldiers are also the main force of the Great Song Dynasty in the north, once this place is breached, the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty is in danger.

......

This time it was really an eight-hundred-mile rush, and just when the three clans were distributing the defense line outside Xincheng, Wang De's request for help was sent to the palace.

"Waste, idiot."

On the main hall of the Longtu Pavilion, Zhao Zhen's face turned red, and he threw the book directly from the hall, showing a very angry look.

Originally, there was a good situation, but because everyone was worried that Su Shi's meritorious service would be too heavy, it would lead to uncontrollable results, so Wang Deyong was sent to the north, intending to seize power, and it was just the opportunity to suppress Su Shi's arrogance.

But he didn't think that from beginning to end, Wang Deyong didn't even see Su Shi's face. It is so erosive to play a good hand, this Wang De can really be renamed Wang useless.

It's just that if you can't do it, you can't, and it's okay to be honest as a city guard. But he still wanted to reap some benefits, and even transferred Wang Xin from Langu City back to Xincheng, so that the army was surrounded, and the whole situation completely fell into passivity.

100,000 troops before and after Western Xia.

An army of 70,000 before and after the Mongolian cavalry.

The Liao people even heard that there were at least 100,000 people.

This is nearly 300,000 enemies, and the north is in danger.

In the Longtu Pavilion, all the courtiers bowed their heads and remained silent. This time, the ministers are all here, even Fu Bi and Bao Zheng, who were recuperating at home before, are here.

The two stood in the middle of the crowd, equally silent.

They are all upright ministers, no one will gloat at this time, they are all people who are dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty, and now what they are thinking about is how to solve the danger in the north.

Once the Great Song Dynasty does not have the barrier of the northern border, the next moment the alien race can face Bianliang City, and at that time, it is the real danger, and it is not impossible to say that there is a danger of losing the country.

"Say, what's next?"

At this time, Zhao Zhen's eyes were extremely cold.

The courtiers standing below felt the anger of the Son of Heaven, and they were even more cautious. Especially Wen Yanbo and others, who recommended Wang Deyong to replace Su Shi before, don't even dare to breathe now.

At the critical moment, it was the old minister's privy envoy Yan Shu who stood up, "Your Majesty, the danger in the north cannot be ignored, and the minister suggested that reinforcements be dispatched north immediately, and the siege of Xincheng should be relieved first. If possible, after the siege is lifted, you can send people to negotiate with the three clans to discuss a solution."

Yan Shu's personal tendency is also to value harmony, otherwise, he would not have a good relationship with Wen Yanbo.

Or it can also be said that in the Great Song Dynasty at this time, the main and faction were the majority, and the main battle faction was suppressed by it, and there were only a limited number of people, and they all lost their right to speak.

But sometimes, it's not just that you can make peace if you say it, it also depends on what the situation is, and whether the enemy is willing to deal with you.

It's like it's not impossible to negotiate peace now. But the price to be paid for this is huge.

On the contrary, if the war is won, at least a draw, then it is possible to obtain more benefits by negotiating peace at that time.

"Is there a suitable candidate?" Zhao Zhen looked at Yan Shu and asked.

"Yes, Huang Gaoyi, the former commander of the Hebei Route Army, is in the capital, and he is very familiar with the situation in the north, so he can be appointed as a general, and at the same time, 50,000 elites near the capital will be sent to Xincheng as the first batch of reinforcements to relieve the siege."

"At the same time, you can also borrow a thousand captives such as Gule to hand over to Western Xia to stabilize the situation in the west as much as possible. If yes

In this case, we can consider sending reinforcements from the west to the north to relieve the crisis."

Yan Shu is still a competent privy envoy, at least there is no chaos at this moment, but he has his own way of dealing with it.

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen did not express his position immediately, but hesitated for a while and said, "Can you only send 50,000 reinforcements in the early stage? How sure are you that you can relieve the siege of Xinzhou?"

"Your Majesty, the reinforcements are coming, and if they are used well, they can contain the enemy, as for how much to contain, it depends on the situation on the battlefield." Yan Shu replied, but it could be heard that he was not very sure.

"Even if it's a containment, it's too little. In this way, 50,000 will be added and transferred from the vicinity of the capital, and 300,000 forbidden troops will be left here." After thinking about it, Zhao Zhen made a decision.

At the same time, he began to scold Fan Zhongyan in his heart.

This person who implemented the new policy, although he had been dismissed, was still remembered by Zhao Zhen and scolded in his heart.

At the beginning of the New Deal, there was no support and there was a shortage of money. Fan Zhongyan suggested that many soldiers in the cities near Bianliang City should be dismissed.

Fan Zhongyan believes that now is a time of peace, and the country does not need to feed so many troops at all.

If it is abolished, it will not only reduce the expenditure, but also easily win the favor of other ministers of peace and compromise.

Zhao Zhen was obedient to him at the beginning, and agreed at that time, so that now there is danger in the north, and there are no reinforcements to send.

Lakh.

This basically emptied all the troops of the cities near Bianliang City, and some of the big cities were only left with a group of servants and hunters, if at this time, a large number of enemies appeared, it would really be very dangerous.

"Your Majesty, it's not impossible, but it's not possible to restart the conscription, otherwise, once the situation changes." Yan Shu asked tentatively.

"Yes, let the three divisions draw funds to recruit soldiers."

Zhao Zhen had just made this decision, and Song Qi, the third envoy standing below, stood up unhappily, "Your Majesty, recruiting soldiers and expanding the army is a very expensive thing, so the treasury..."

"Money is for spending, don't you need it now, wait for the enemy to come to your door? What use will the money keep in that case?" Zhao Zhen didn't wait for Song Qi to finish speaking, and he had already opened his mouth, and his tone was very unkind.

Song Yi saw that Zhao Zhen was really angry, and he didn't dare to burn his beard. It's just that the thought of having to take out a large sum of money next makes me angry.

Looking at the ministers standing around, Song Qi opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has a question."

"Say."

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, where is General Zhongwu now? Isn't he supposed to be in charge of the affairs of the North, and he's the main support?"

At this point, the situation was so critical, everyone opened their mouths and didn't mention Su Shi's matter, which made Song Yi unhappy.

If you make me uncomfortable, then everyone should not feel good then.

In front of the ministers, Song Qi mentioned Su Shi's name.

When it comes to Su Shi, many courtiers are very ugly.

Originally, Su Shi went to the north and won two battles, and the situation was very good, but some people coveted his exploits and had to use Wang De, which caused the battle situation to become the current chaotic state.

In this way, those who recommended Wang Deyong to go to the northern front were all guilty people, and they were still guilty of the country.

Song Qi mentioned Su Shi, and the ministers were silent.

Zhao Zhen was reminded by this, and a bright color flashed in his eyes.

Before, he was so angry by the situation in front of him that he didn't think about it so much for a while. Perhaps in his eyes, Su Shi is just a teenager and a child.

Now after Song Qi's reminder, he also remembered, "By the way, where is Tianyou now, who knows?"

When Su Shi went to Baozhou and Xiongzhou before, the local government had all written books. But he was suppressed by Wen Yanbo and others.

They deliberately wanted to downplay the influence of Su Shi, but also to buy time for Wang Deyong to open up the situation in the north. But now it seems that Wang De uses it, no! The king is useless

Yes.

"Your Majesty, General Zhongwu should be in Bao and Xiong Prefectures, where he is recruiting troops." Prime Minister Jia Changchao had to stand up for this meeting.

It was he who bet on this book at the beginning and did not report it to Zhao Zhen. But this is not his personal meaning, but the common meaning of Wen Yanbo and Yan Shu and others.

When they learned that Su Shi had gone to Bao and Xiong to recruit soldiers, they were very happy at that time. This person is finally no longer on the main battlefield, so it's up to him to make trouble.

Now it seems that at the critical moment, the official family still remembered Su Shi, and they still had to rely on him.

Looking at it this way, all the previous dilutions and intentional weakening are just a bamboo basket for water.

"Baozhou? Xiongzhou? Where does he go and what does he do? Spread the message and let him go back to Xinzhou to rescue." Zhao Zhen said inexplicably.

He didn't know why Su Shi left Xinzhou and went so far to the Baozhou area. I think it's someone's handiwork. That's it, now is not the time to hold him accountable, after all, he didn't object to sending Wang Deyong to the north at the beginning.

In his bones, Zhao Zhen was also worried that Su Shi had made too many meritorious contributions, and he was suspected of being a master of high merit.

Zhao Zhen was about to reactivate Su Shi, and in the crowd, Bao Zheng saw the opportunity and quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now there is a privy envoy Wang Xianggong in Xinzhou, and there is also General Wang Xin, if General Zhongwu goes at this time, I am afraid that there will be chaos in management."

Bao Zheng came forward, this is to ask Su Shi for an official.

Otherwise, if everyone comes together and takes care of each other, wouldn't it be chaotic and give the enemy a chance to break through.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xianggong is always a good man, and General Wang Xin has rich battlefield experience, and they are all handsome talents who can preside over the overall situation." Following Bao Zheng, Wen Yanbo quickly stood up.

"The minister's words are very reasonable, and the minister seconded it." Yan Shu, the privy envoy, also stood up and expressed his support.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Prime Minister Jia Changchao stood up.

He couldn't let Su Shi get out so easily.

If Su Shi wants to come out, it is not impossible, and he can naturally get his support by taking refuge in Queen Cao.

"PS: Thank you Huiguan Caolu for the big reward and monthly ticket to the Great Song Dynasty, and add three chapters, this is the second chapter."
