Zong Ze asked many more questions, all about the war between the Liao State and the Jurchens. Pro-Shell Pavilion

Gao Yaoshi, Cao Xiaocai, and Lang Rong didn't dare to lie under Zong Ze's sharp eyes, and told everything they knew.

"Wang Zhizhou, I don't have anything to ask."

Zong Ze's face was extremely ugly, and he arched his hand at Wang Shizhong.

"You and the other three should have been killed on the spot for trespassing on the border of my Great Song Dynasty, but it was an unintentional mistake to think of you, so I will be detained for the time being, and then make a decision when the edict comes."

Wang Shizhong looked at Gao Yaoshi, Cao Xiaocai, and Lang Rong and said.

"Give them a sign!"

As soon as Wang Shizhong waved his hand, the priest behind him took a few pieces of paper and walked in front of the senior pharmacist.

"Spare your life!"

The three of them were so frightened that they thought that several of the king's masters were going to kill them.

"This is your confession, I will send it to Tokyo and help you intercede, if what you say is true, you should be pardoned, and you can even live in the Great Song Dynasty!"

Wang Shizhong looked at the three people, those few pieces of paper were full of the conversations of today's interrogation, and the other purpose of his calling Zong Ze today was to be a witness.

After reading the words on the paper, the three of them felt relieved, and hurriedly signed and drew a pledge on it.

Oshiji brought the papers to Zong Ze again, Zong Ze glanced at them, and also signed his name, and then Wang Shizhong also signed with a smile.

Even if such a top-secret military information about the changes in the Liao State is summarized, as long as it is sent to Tokyo, it will immediately win the emperor's trust.

"Zong Tongju, let's also be considered a great achievement!"

Wang Shizhong laughed.

"What's the gratification? The lower officials can't see it! ”

Zong Ze shook his head solemnly.

"The Liao Kingdom is dying, isn't this a great joy! I have been in the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and I have finally waited for the moment of destroying Liao! ”

Wang Shizhong smiled more and more happily, the attitude of the court towards the Liao State was very different, the main battle faction and the main peace faction often attacked each other, and he was a firm main battle faction, and he had always wanted to fight for the country and destroy the Liao State.

"The Liao State is not the opponent of the Jurchens, if the Liao State is dead, then how can we deal with the Jurchens? This is not killing the hungry wolf and coming to Menghu again. ”

Zong Ze looked at Wang Shizhong and asked, he knew that Wang Shizhong was a person from the sixteen states of Yanyun, and later fled back to the Great Song Dynasty, many people in his family died at the hands of the Liao State, and he was extremely hostile to the Liao State, but national affairs should not be mixed with personal feelings, let alone covet immediate interests.

"There are only more than 10,000 Jurchens, what is there to fear, as long as there are the sixteen states of Yanyun, relying on the Yanyun defense line, the Jurchens are not worried."

Wang Shizhong didn't think so, the Jurchens were just a tribe that had just established a country, and their numbers were very small, and they couldn't make the climate.

"Zong Tongju, haven't you forgotten the last order of the first emperor? Yanyun must be retracted! ”

Wang Shizhong looked at Zong Ze and said coldly, Zong Ze is also the main battle faction, so he will tell Zong Ze this kind of secret, but Zong Ze is not radical, which he is very dissatisfied with.

"Let's see what the court says."

Zong Ze shook his head helplessly, the matter between the Jurchens and the Liao State still needs to be investigated, whether it is war or peace, it is not something that he can influence by a small state capital.

The two walked out of the prison city, and Zong Ze was ready to go back to his mansion to think about the affairs of the north.

"Zhizhou Xianggong! The verdict is fair! ”

The embarrassed shouts of Hu Yanqing came.

Wang Shizhong and Zong Ze looked at the dust, and Hu Yanqing's heart sank with a dark face, Ping Haijun This is a big incident.

"General Huyan, what's wrong?"

Wang Shizhong looked at Hu Yanqing and asked.

"There is an enemy, the enemy shelled the swordfish village, the swordfish village is finished!"

Hu Yanqing said with a handful of snot and tears.

"Bombardment of the swordfish village! Who did it? ”

Zong Ze's face changed greatly, this news was like a thunderbolt, far greater than the shock given to him by the rise of the Jurchens, the knife fish village is outside Dengzhou City, the enemy can bombard the sword fish village, then wouldn't it be able to attack Dengzhou Mansion?

The enemy was close at hand, but they were still at a loss.

"I don't know, there was a sudden sound of artillery at night, and there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment according to the swordfish village, and the enemy was hiding in the fog and couldn't see anything!"

Hu Yanqing said.

Wang Shizhong and Zong Ze's faces were extremely ugly, these days of fog, the sea can't sail at all, where is the enemy? But they all heard the sound last night, and now that Hu Yanqing said it, they remembered that it was indeed the sound of artillery.

"How is it possible, how can the enemy have artillery?"

Zong Ze looked at Hu Yanqing and asked, firearms have always been a secret of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are not allowed to be used easily, and the firepower last night was not even the forbidden army.

"It's true, the prefect is the minister, please see the general judgment!"

Hu Yanqing hurriedly asked his subordinates to carry up a round iron ball, which was full of potholes.

"Such a big projectile!"

Wang Shizhong touched it with his hand, and it was cold in his hand, it was indeed a projectile commonly used in artillery, but the problem was that this projectile was much larger than that in the army.

"I'll take a look!"

Zong Ze looked at the projectile and thought about Wang Shizhong and said.

"Then bother Zongtong to go on a trip, Sun Li, you go with you!"

Wang Shizhong looked at Sun Li on the side and said.

"The last general will go too!"

Hu Yanqing also said that he was going to evacuate with his soldiers at night, and now he had to go back and take a look.

Wang Shi nodded and agreed.

Zong Ze took Sun Li and Hu Yanqing out of Dengzhou Mansion in the fog.

"Where the hell did such a big fog come from?"

Zong Ze looked at the fog outside the city, this kind of weather is not afraid of the navy to go out, as soon as he goes out to sea, he will definitely get lost in the fog, how does the enemy manage to walk freely in the fog.

"My subordinates don't know that this fog has been heavy for several days, and it is impossible for a ship to move on the sea."

Hu Yanqing opened his mouth and said, he is also a naval warrior and proficient in naval warfare, who dares to sail in this fog?

"But the enemy is indeed coming from the sea!"

Sun Li opened his mouth and said that he was under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou soldiers and horses, and he wanted to manage local security.

Even if there is a heavy fog, it is impossible for the enemy to cross the border without any wind at all, not to mention that there are so many cannons, that thing cannot be moved at all without oxen pulling, and it must take a flat official road, and the small road and mountain road cannot be moved even if it is pulled by oxen.

"That's the problem, this group of enemies is not simple!"

Zong Ze said worriedly, now the situation in the north is turbulent, the Liao State is weak, the Jurchens are eyeing each other, and the Great Song Dynasty is facing an unprecedented crisis.

And now there is such a strange thief, not only with artillery, but also just directly attacking the Ping Navy, where in the world is such a bold thief?

"My lord, will it be Liao, Goryeo or Japanese."

Sun Li said that there are no bandits in Dengzhou, and only overseas aliens can really be regarded as enemies.

"Impossible, although Liao, Goryeo, and Wa have fleets, there will never be artillery, and it is impossible for them to come across the sea on such a foggy day."

Hu Yanqing opened his mouth and said, although the Liao, Goryeo, and Wa people have ships, their naval combat power is average, how can they have the strength to cross the sea and attack the Ping Navy.

There is an official road from Dengzhou Mansion to Daoyu Village, and Zong Ze and people quickly arrived at Daoyu Village along the official road.
