Chapter 1541

"After Mr. Zhang entered the mansion, the soldiers of the Song army rushed out of the mansion, and then they detained General Xiao Funu and others to the mansion, and no news came out."

"The villain waited for a full day and did not see any of Mr. Zhang and others leave the mansion. Moreover, due to his extreme defense, the villain may delay your major affairs, so he could only leave two people to continue monitoring and rush back to report to you."

Xiazhou Hedong Road in charge of the mansion, Xiao Shen stroked his long beard and listened to the secret interrogation who was kneeling in front of him to report to him.

"Have you not seen Wang Yang's whereabouts these days?"

"I have never seen it, but after asking from many sources, a few days ago, nearly 10,000 Song troops left Yinzhou by boat, entered the Yellow River through Wuding River, turned northward, with their destination unknown."

"Sir, it seems that the Lord Wang Yang is unwilling to wait any longer..." The confidant official sitting beside him stood up and said to Xiao Shenyi, who had a gloomy expression.

A burly general couldn't help but glance at Xiao Shen and muttered in a low voice.

"What should we do now? If Wang Yang really launches troops to attack, then all our previous plans will be in vain."

"But Wang Yang is too arrogant and domineering, and only gave us ten days limit. How could this be possible? If he had the ability to launch a military force, then the troops of the six states in northern Shaanxi should have been mobilized long ago, but there has been no abnormal movement to this day."

"Now, the other party's mobilization of only more than 10,000 troops has scared you like this. Maybe this is the demonstration that Wang Yang took to take advantage of us."

"Everyone, please calm down first. Since Wang Yang forced Mr. Zhang and General Xiao Funu, he thought that he wanted to force the adults to submit early. Therefore, the officials felt that if the adults really felt that surrendering to Song was unfavorable, they could completely ignore the threat of Song State and ordered the soldiers of Hedongdao to consolidate the border defense to prevent the Song enemy from attacking."

"It's enough..." Xiao Shen slapped the table with his big hand, stood up, and glanced over the confidant with a majestic look.

"Now, since Wang Yang dares to seize my envoy, if we continue to show weakness..."

Before Xiao Shen finished speaking, he heard a panic-like voice, which was directly transmitted to the study room where he was secretly discussing the secret. "Master, Master, Master, Master's emergency military newspaper!"

Xiao Shen raised his hand to signal the officials to Anjing, and then he signaled his confidant guard to open the door of the study. He saw a messenger being half-helped and half-draged by two slaves.

"Master General, yesterday morning, Ningbian Prefecture was destroyed by the Song army."

"What?!" Just one short sentence made all the civil and military officials present in Hedongdao jump up.

The Song army crossed the Yellow River in the early morning and landed on the wharf. They defeated a thousand elite cavalry of the Liao army with infantry and razed Ningbian Prefecture, an important pass at the northern end of the east road of the Daliao River, to level the land with hundreds of artillery.

The defenders in the city were killed and injured, and Yelu Gongduo led 3,000 remaining soldiers to flee north...

"Half an hour..." Xiao Amo took a deep breath. "I have been in charge of the Great Liao Dynasty for a hundred years. The Song people have not yet attacked Ningbianzhou for more than ten times in the past hundred years. They have all failed and returned. They can't resist even an hour. They just change hands so easily?"

This is not a joke, right? The Liao civil and military officials present all had a sense of absurdity of wanting to laugh out loud. Is it possible to win Ningbianzhou in half an hour?

"In the past, the Song Dynasty, Zhong Shidao, led his army to cross the Wuding River to Xiazhou, and used Yuanyou to throw stones to attack the Xiazhou city wall. In less than an hour, more than ten feet of Xiazhou city were destroyed. Xiazhou was destroyed by the Song people. As officials from Hedong Road, could you even forget about this matter?" At this time, an official said this quietly.

"I heard that the Yuanyou divine cannon of Song State is much sharper than that of Yuanyou stone throwing machine. If this is the case, it would be strange if Ningbianzhou can be attacked with hundreds of gates and Ningbianzhou can be defeated."

"..." These two sentences made the Northern Liao civil and military officials who felt extremely absurd at first were speechless.

This is not over. Someone came to report secretly, saying that a subordinate who was detained with Mr. Zhang Xiaojie to Yinzhou had been released and rushed back to Xiazhou, saying that there was an urgent matter to ask to see Lord Xiao Shenxiao.

And he asked for a secret meeting. When he heard the whisper of the guard in his ear, Xiao Shen's heart beat a beat, and he finally maintained his calmness.

"You guys will wait a moment. I have an urgent matter that needs to be dealt with, so I will come back later."

After throwing this sentence, Xiao Shen quickly walked away and left the civil and military men with suspicious faces all over the room. At this time, can you still have an urgent matter that is more important than the bad news that Ningbianzhou was seized by the Song army?

However, since he said that, all the civil and military officials could only helplessly stay in the study and discussed the current situation. After talking for a long time, he could not come up with a charter to deal with the current situation.

Xiao Amo, an old man in his sixties, cleared his throat and acted like he was worried about the country and the people.

"In fact, in my opinion, since the State of Song even used the Yuanyou divine cannon, it is enough to prove that State of Song must take over the East Road of the Great Liaohe River. Instead of resisting stubbornly, it is better to consider the countless innocent people in the East Road of the Great He River to cease surrender to ensure peace."

"What the old man said is very much. But all this requires Lord Xiao to approve it. After all, he is the chief manager of Hedong Road. Even if we are willing to do this to protect the soldiers and innocent people, if Lord Xiao..."

"At present, the Liaodong Road of the Great Liao Dynasty has been taken by the State of Song, but now our emperor, His Majesty, continues to let the brother Xiao Fengxian do whatever he wants. Now, the State of Song is determined to win the Hedong Road."

"Hedong Road is thousands of miles away from the key point of our Great Liao Central. Even if His Majesty knows that Hedong Road is in trouble, how many troops can be assigned to support him?"

"Don't forget that the Great Liao navy was completely destroyed, and Tokyo Road was taken by the Song State. Now our Great Liao has to station heavily on the coast of the Liaohai Sea, and we have to draw troops to retake Tokyo Road. Where can we have time to pay attention to this wild land?"

#####

"Zhongyong, what happened in Yinzhou?" Xiao Shen quickly rushed to a secluded courtyard not far from the study, saw the slave who was released by the Song people, and couldn't wait to shout.

"It was Zhao, the governor of Yinzhou of Song, who ordered us to be detained. In addition, the governor of Song, also asked the villain to bring you a secret letter, saying that if you are the master, if you are unwilling to surrender, then you will never have a chance in a few days."

"Bastard! Do you know who you are talking to?!" The trusted guard next to him couldn't help but get furious and kicked him in one shot.

"Enough, I guess the words Zhao Zhizhou asked you to repost, right?" After taking the letter, Xiao Shen waved his hand and opened the letter while asking.
