Bianjing, the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Oh no! Oh no! ”

Zhao Duan had just finished dealing with today's recitals and was about to get up and move, but suddenly heard that Cao Shuang, who had just received some news, ran out in a hurry, and ran in in a panic.

I can't even care about etiquette, and I look so embarrassed!

Zhao Duan's brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything, because he knew that Cao Shuang had been by his side for many years, and if something big hadn't happened, he would definitely not be like this.

Thinking that something was wrong, thinking of this, Zhao Duan's heart was also sudden, and a bad premonition came to his heart, frowning and walking straight towards the door.

And at this moment, Cao Shuang's voice finally arrived outside the door, and with a bang, the door was pushed open from the outside to the inside, Cao Shuang ran in with a sweaty face, and kept panting, obviously running too quickly just now.

After coming in, Cao Shuang saw that Zhao Duan was already in front of the door, as if he was talking, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to gasp and breathe heavily.

Seeing that he had already come in, Zhao Duan stopped, and waited for a while until Cao Shuang's breath was even, and then asked:

"What happened to make you so flustered?"

Cao Shuang, who finally breathed evenly, was finally able to speak at this time, and as soon as Zhao Duan asked Cao Shuang, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, it's not good!" There is movement in Tatar! ”

"What?!"

Zhao Duan's eyes widened suddenly.

"What the hell is going on, you make things clear!"

After reacting, Zhao Duan hurriedly said.

Cao Shuang explained: "Your Majesty, not long ago, our spies of the Imperial City Division who were ambushed in the grassland suddenly found that the Tatar tribe that had ceased war with the Dayue clan suddenly showed signs of gathering in a large area, and we thought that the Tatars were going to attack us, but we found that they did not gather in the direction of the Hedong Corridor.

So we didn't pay much attention to it, and then not long ago, the spies came to report that the Tatar army was gathering more and more, and it was constantly converging towards the southern grasslands, and it was expected that in mid-September, a full 300,000 cavalry would gather outside Yunzhou County!

Only then did the slave and maid react, the other party really wanted to invade our Great Song Dynasty, but their breakthrough target seemed to be placed in Yunzhou County, which was extremely unreasonable.

So the slave maid ordered the spies on the grassland to find out the reason, and then learned that it was actually because the Tartars got the information from the Ding family! ”

"The Ding family?! Information?! ”

Zhao Duan was shocked!

Cao Shuang nodded and explained:

"According to the information we have learned, it was the Tatar who spent 100,000 taels of silver to get the number of troops in Liaoyun Pass, the number of defense maps, the amount of grain and grass, and the number of grain reserves from the Ding generals who were originally stationed in Liaoyun Pass.

After comparing the invasion of Guanzhong County and Hedong County, which were full of troops, with the invasion of Yunzhou County and the Liaoyun Pass, which had not many troops to garrison, the Great Khan of Tatar Hazhinut Aung Ji finally decided to start the invasion from Yunzhou County, break through the Liaoyun Pass and enter Nanyang County to plunder a large amount of grain and grass stored in Nanyang County!

With the information and defense map provided by the general of the Ding family, it will be much easier for the Tatars to attack the Liaoyun Pass, and according to the spies, the general of the Ding family also made a deal with the Tatars, saying that there are his people in the Liaoyun Pass, as long as the Tatars give him certain benefits, he is not unable to help the Tatars.

It is said that Hazhinut was very moved and had already agreed! ”

After listening to Cao Shuang's words, Zhao Duan only felt endless anger burning in his chest!

"Ding family! Ding family! Ding family!

This damn Ding family! You damned traitors! In fact, for a mere 100,000 taels, I sold all the defense maps and military intelligence of my Great Song Dynasty border city to the enemy! You guys should be damned! ”

Zhao Duan gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth in scolding, and he couldn't wait to peel off the skin and cramp the Ding family who betrayed the information now!

After venting, Zhao Duan quickly regained his composure, he knew that now was not the time to be angry, and immediately asked, "Have you found out who leaked the information from the Ding family?" ”

Cao Shuang shook his head but nodded again and said: "Your Majesty, we haven't found out who that person is, but according to the intelligence, we can also speculate that this person should have been the award leader who served in Liaoyun Pass, and there were five generals of the Ding family who were stationed in Liaoyun Pass with Ding An when Ding An was there, and three of these five people have left Liaoyun Pass with Ding An, and two people have stayed in the pass."

We guess that the Ding family who leaked the information and the inner ghost who can be used as an internal response in his mouth should be one of these five people.

If the scope of personnel is shortened between these five people, the Imperial City Division should be able to find out who it is very quickly. ”

Zhao Duan nodded and said:

"Excellent! Time is running out, it's the end of August, I give the Imperial City Division ten days to find out the inner ghost before the Tatar invasion, and that bastard who leaked information, I want to cut him with a thousand knives! Ling Chi was executed! ”

Cao Shuang immediately nodded: "The slave understands!" ”

Zhao Duan walked two steps back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, then stopped and said: "Also, immediately notify Li Wei to readjust the arming situation of Liaoyun Pass, and from now on, immediately block the entrance and exit of Liaoyun Pass, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Prevent the inner ghost from leaking the information again.

In addition, how many troops can be mobilized in our Great Song Dynasty now, there are only more than 10,000 defenders in the hands of Li Wei on the Liaoyun Pass, and they cannot hold the Liaoyun Pass, so they must continue to increase their troops.

Otherwise, once the Tatars break through the checkpoint and rush into Nanyang County to rob Nanyang Cang, the impact will be great! ”

As the largest official warehouse in the northeast of the Great Song Dynasty, Nanyang Cang stores more than 10 million stone of grain all year round.

In addition to supplying the border army rations in Liaobei County and Guanzhong County, these more than 10 million stone grains also undertook the heavy task of storing emergency grain in Liaobei, Guanzhong, Gaodong, and even Bianjing.

When there was a natural disaster in these four places and disaster relief was needed, almost all the grain was shipped from Nanyang warehouse.

A few years ago, when there was a great drought in Liaodong County, when the people were struggling to make a living, the imperial court wanted to use the grain storage in Nanyang Cang to relieve the disaster, but there was nothing left in the Nanyang Cang overnight fire.

Even if the hundreds of officials in the court understood that this Nanyang warehouse was afraid of something dirty, it was later found that the Wang family of the Nanyang family resold the stored grain of Nanyang warehouse all the year round, and when they heard that the imperial court was going to transfer grain, they were afraid of being discovered, so they lit Nanyang Cang.

After learning the truth, Zhao Duan was furious, but he couldn't grasp the handle of the Wang family, and the court was unwilling to replenish food to Nanyang Cang.

In this way, Nanyang Cang was rebuilt, but it was empty for more than a year and useless.

It wasn't until last year that Zhao Jun was on his way back to the fiefdom that the Wang family helped the Ding family besiege and kill Zhao Jun, which allowed Zhao Duan to find an excuse to completely eradicate the Wang family in one fell swoop!

Not only did he get the Wang family's years of accumulation, which enriched the treasury a lot, but also eradicated a giant rat for Nanyang.

Nanyang warehouse was also put back into operation.

Now this Nanyang warehouse can store more than 10 million stone of grain, but it can't be robbed by Tatars.

Therefore, Zhao Duan hurriedly asked how many troops could be mobilized, and hurriedly mobilized troops to Liaoyun Pass to guard the border.

However, Cao Shuang's response made his heart sink to the bottom.

I saw it shake its head, and once again said something even more shocking and shocking.

"Your Majesty, Xu is because he saw that the Tatars moved, and the Huns began to converge on the border, and it is suspected that this year's autumn plundering will start early!

Except for the four armies of the Japanese who could not move to defend the capital, almost all the rest of the army were defending the Xiongnu on the border, and now there is no army that can be mobilized to support Liaodong County. ”

Wow!

Zhao Duan stumbled and almost fell.

There are no soldiers left in their hands!
