Dengzhou. Pro-Shell Pavilion

The sound of artillery fire in the dense fog woke everyone in Dengzhou Mansion.

"What's the situation, where is the voice!"

Wang Shizhong, the governor of Dengzhou, hurriedly ran out of the back hall, and the official uniform on his body was not yet dressed.

"Lord Prefect, it's the knife fish village!"

A servant said, pointing in the direction of the swordfish village.

"Saury Village! What's going on? ”

Wang Shizhong looked in the direction of the swordfish village and wondered, there were two thousand sailors stationed in that place, and it was foggy these days, and it was impossible for the sailors to go to sea, so why did they make such a big move at night.

"Assemble your troops quickly!"

Wang Shizhong roared, although the fog couldn't see what was happening, but from that sound, he knew that something was wrong.

The drums of the civil war in Dengzhou Mansion sounded, and groups of soldiers came out of the barracks, and even if the fog was very heavy in the city, they could recognize the direction according to the houses and roads.

"Governor Wang, what happened to the Sword Fish Village?"

Zong Ze, the general judge of Dengzhou, who was dressed in an official robe, was wearing a sword, and rode to the prefect's yamen with several guards, and the sword fish village rang for a long time.

"Zong Tongju, I don't know what's going on, it's ...... over there in Daoyu Village"

Wang Shizhong pointed in the direction of Daoyu Village and was about to speak, but his face changed greatly.

"Fire! It's on fire! ”

Wang Shizhong's voice trembled and said, although there was a thick fog obscuring it, the red firelight had already dyed the white fog in the darkness red.

"Why, that's a knife fish village!"

Zong Ze couldn't believe everything in front of him.

"The prefect is the minister, the general judgment is the minister, and the soldiers and horses are assembled!"

Pan Shanyu, a regimental trainer in Dengzhou, held a dragon-patterned purple gold lance and rode a red-maned horse to lead the troops.

"General Pan, quickly take someone to the Sword Fish Village to find out the situation!"

When Wang Shizhong saw Pan Shanyu coming, he immediately pointed in the direction of Daoyu Village and ordered.

"Let's go, go to the Knife Fish Village!"

Pan Shanyu waved the dragon-patterned purple gold lance in his hand and left with the soldiers and horses.

"The prefect is the minister, the situation is unclear now, the fog is shrouded outside, and it is still night, and the army is afraid that it is dangerous to go out."

Dengzhou soldiers and horses gave jurisdiction to Sun Li, and hurriedly wanted to hold his fists in Wang Shizhong.

"What's at stake? There are only a few thieves near Dengzhou, and the biggest ones are only those people in Dengyun Mountain, and there are only eighty or ninety people. ”

Wang Shizhong waved his hand and said, no one near Dengzhou can threaten the official army at all, and Pan Shanyu brought a thousand soldiers and horses this time, what is the danger?

Sun Li saw that Wang Shizhong had said this, and he didn't dare to say more, so he hugged his fists and retreated.

"Sun Tiha, now that the situation is unknown, you take people to inspect the city, and there will be no chaos in Dengzhou Mansion!"

Zong Ze looked at Sun Li and said.

"Yes, the verdict is fair!"

Sun Li hugged his fists and took people away.

"Zong Tongju, let's go into the house, there will be results after dawn, let's have a cup of tea first."

Wang Shizhong invited Zong Zedao.

"Wang Zhizhou, but what's the matter?"

Zong Ze heard the meaning of Wang Shizhong's words, he had just been transferred from the county magistrate of Ye County in Laizhou to the general judge of Dengzhou not long ago, and he was not very close to Wang Shizhong, so it must be something to invite him to drink tea at this time.

Wang Shizhong smiled, but did not speak, just pointed to the north with his finger.

Zong Ze nodded silently, understood what Wang Shizhong meant, and followed Wang Shizhong into the mansion.

The servant quickly came up with fragrant tea.

"Zong Tongju, you have been an official on Jingdong East Road for many years."

Wang Shizhong looked at Zong Ze and asked.

"By God's grace, in Laizhou glue, Laizhou Ye County each put a magistrate."

Zong Ze replied directly.

"Laizhou and Dengzhou are adjacent to each other, and they are both state capitals near the sea, so Zong Tongju should know a little bit about the situation on the other side of the sea."

Wang Shizhong looked at Zong Ze and continued to ask.

"Wang Zhizhou has something to say."

Zong Ze said directly, now that the situation outside the city is unknown, he has no time to play dumb riddles in Wang Shizhong.

"Does Zong Tong know about the affairs of the north?"

Wang Shizhong pointed to the north and said.

"Are you a Khitan from Liao?"

Zong Ze frowned and asked.

"No, it's not the Khitans of Liao, it's the Jurchens!"

Wang Shizhong said mysteriously.

"Jurchens? I have also heard that in the early years, when the Bohai Kingdom was not destroyed by the Liao State, there were also Jurchens who crossed the sea by boat from Suzhou (now Jinzhou, Dalian, Liaoning) to exchange for some cloth, tea, and ironware, but since the fall of the Bohai Kingdom, the Jurchens have not appeared. ”

Zong Ze opened his mouth and said that he had released two governors in Laizhou, and he had been in office for 8 years, and he also knew a lot of things.

"Yes, but now the Liao State is weak, and the Jurchens are rising. Years ago, the Jurchens defeated several battles in the Liao State, and now they have established a country in Huining Mansion, and the country name is gold! The Liao State has retreated to Zhongjing Road and Shangjing Road, and most of Tokyo Road has fallen into the hands of the Jurchens. ”

Wang Shizhong said.

"In other words, most of the state capitals of the Tokyo Province of Liaoguo are controlled by the Jurchens?"

Zong Ze's face changed greatly, this is explosive news, the invincible Khitans were defeated, and they also lost Tokyo Dao.

The Liao State divided the territory into the Five Provinces of Kyoto, and the Tokyo Province was the entire eastern part of the Provinces; Shangjing Road is the entire Mongolian steppe; east of the Hetao of Xijingdao, west of Yanshan, north of Taihang, and south of Mongolia; Zhongjing Road is the north and south of Yanshan; Nanjing Road is the sixteen states of Yanyun.

"Yes, this news is absolutely accurate, before the fog, a group of exiles from Suzhou, Liaodong arrived near Dengzhou, and now they are being held in the dungeon, Zong Tongpan is interested in interrogating them together?"

Wang Shizhong looked at Zong Ze and asked, although his official position is greater than Zong Ze, his official experience is not as good as Zong Ze, and the Liao exiles are very important, so he must be cautious.

"Listen to Wang Zhizhou!"

Zong Ze Zhengse said that the news of the exiles in the Liao State is very important, and some exiles prove that there is a big problem in the Liao State, and the Great Song Dynasty, which borders the Liao State, must also be vigilant.

The two soon came to the dungeon, a relatively clean cell, three people were lying on a hay bed, one of them turned out to be a monk, it was the exiled Gao Yaoshi, Cao Xiaocai, and the monk Lang Rong in Suzhou, Liaodong.

"Wang Zhizhou, we didn't intend to break into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, please let Wang Zhizhou let me go!"

The three of them took more than 200 relatives on two big boats, thinking of going to Goryeo, but because they didn't know hydrology, they were carried by the current to the vicinity of Dengzhou, and they happened to be caught by the Dengzhou navy.

"Let me ask the three of you, what is the situation in Liaodong now?"

Zong Ze looked at the three of them and asked.

"My lord, Liaodong is now the world of the Jurchens, from last year's Jurchen army, to now more than a year, has defeated Huining Mansion, Huanglong Mansion, a few months ago also defeated the 700,000 army of the Great Liao Emperor, and now go south to capture Pennsylvania, Xianzhou, and even began to attack Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion!"

"The Jurchens are really uncivilized barbarians, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, we are worried that Liaoyang Mansion will not be able to stop the Jurchens, so I want to go to Goryeo by boat, and I don't want to break into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Gao Yaoshi hurriedly replied, the Jurchens are a tribe between the white mountains and black waters, and the cruel environment makes their style of acting extremely brutal, and there is no etiquette and morality at all.
