Chapter 746 Will not doubt the source and authenticity of this information (first update)
Chapter 755

"General Zhe is indeed well-informed. Yes, this is a map of the Northern Liao Dynasty drawn by myself." Wang Yang nodded.

Gao Shi, on the other hand, looked at the map with a bit of pain, looked at Wang Yang, and finally couldn't hold back his words, so he decided to remind Wang Yang.

"...My lord Wang, it seems that our place only borders on Xixia, and the border with Liao Kingdom is Hedong Road instead of Shaanxi Road."

"Of course I know this. We are bordering Xixia. Shi Ze, you don't have to worry. I got a batch of information a few days ago, and this information happens to have a lot to do with Beiliao."

It has something to do with Beiliao... Is it interesting to talk like this?Mr. Wang, didn’t you hear Mr. Gao say that Hedong Road borders Beiliao?

All the officials present looked at Wang Yang with helpless and speechless expressions. Well, you know, we really thought you didn't know.

Wang Yang ignored the pained expressions of the civil and military people in the room, but took a long stick from Wu Qilang and clicked on Tokyo in Beiliao.

"This is the Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom, that is, the Liaoyang Mansion... You may not be clear, the northern border of the Liao Kingdom, including this large area northeast of the Liaoyang Mansion, is mostly composed of many tribes who call themselves women straight. For generations."

"Now, these women-straight tribes are growing stronger day by day, and they often attack each other, often disobeying the orders of the Liao Kingdom..."

#####
Wang Yang used the information obtained before, and then used a bowl on the map spread on the ground to show the direction of the advance of the northern troops of the Liao Kingdom, as well as the movement of the Liao Kingdom's cavalry from Shangjing.

Following Wang Yang's words, everyone's puzzled expressions gradually became serious. It seemed that everyone realized that Wang Yang's analysis made sense.

"...Before, I didn't dare to say it, and it was hard to say it. The reason was because I was worried that no one would believe me after I said my guesses and worries."

"However, during the time we stayed in Hongzhou, the intelligence agency received another batch of latest information. The tribal soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom did not go straight south after arriving at the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing of the Liao Kingdom. Instead, it continues to move westward. The latest information shows that my masterpiece of the Song Dynasty was in Niushan Pavilion, more than a hundred miles east of Bei'an Prefecture. I saw countless soldiers and horses that were different from the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom. They were passing through the Niushan Pavilion and heading west... ..."

"It stands to reason that if the Liao Kingdom wants to attack the East Road of our Great Song Dynasty, even if they want to use these northern tribes, they don't need to cross the difficult and dangerous Bei'an Prefecture at all. Instead, they should go straight south via Zhongjing. Yuzhou, Tanzhou, directly to Laizhou near the sea..."

"Master Wang, what you mean is that this army seems to be deliberately avoiding the land of Yanyun, which borders the Song Dynasty, and continues westward..."

"But what is their purpose? Could it be us, but this is too unreasonable. After all, our location is west of Hedong Road."

"Perhaps it is possible that the Liao Kingdom wants to take advantage of Xixia's severe damage to its current strength, and intends to swallow it in one fell swoop."

Wang Yang chuckled. "You are right, there is such a possibility, but the problem is who can guarantee that the tens of thousands of tribal soldiers and horses, and the tens of thousands of Liao kingdom cavalry going south from the capital, are only heading for Xixia. Instead of coming towards us?"

As soon as Wang Yang's words came out, everyone shut their mouths. That's right, the biggest problem is here. Who can guess the actions of the Liao Kingdom?

However, an army of such a size must not be underestimated. If it is to find trouble with Xixia, it will be fine. Maybe Da Song can wave the flag and shout beside him, and take advantage of Xixia by the way, but what if it is rushing to Da Song? Yes, so what if you came to the land of the three states?
Before, both the government and the public had clearly felt that Xixia should now be unable to invade the northwest border of the Song Dynasty, and that the Liao Kingdom, due to its domestic political situation and the border troubles in the north, could not possibly invade when the Song Dynasty was at its peak. There was a large-scale conflict with Da Song.

And even if a large-scale conflict occurs, it will be concentrated in the area of ​​Hedong Road, Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road. Therefore, Han Zhongyan, an experienced driver, was specially dispatched to go there, and troops and generals were specially dispatched to increase the number of these three roads. The strength of the land's military strength.

Therefore, except for the [-] Xiang Army and the [-] Forbidden Army, all the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Army stationed after the war have been withdrawn to Bianliang, Tokyo.

Today, the military strength of Shaanxi Road is almost the same as that before the battle of Suide City in Xixia. However, the military strength of Shaanxi Road today has been strengthened to a certain extent due to large-scale refitting and the increase of cavalry strength. The Guoxing army came to attack.

It is very likely that the land of the three states will be caught off guard, and it is even possible that the land of the three states that has already belonged to the Song Dynasty will be handed over because of this.

Such an ending, whether it is the court or the officials who have decided to take root in these three states and make a career, is the last thing they want to see.

"My lord, can this information be confirmed? Could it be that those detailed operations have made a mistake. The relationship between the Liao Kingdom and the tribes in the northern border has never been harmonious. What's more, if the Liao Kingdom attacks us, it will be fine. Whether it's on the other side of the road, or dealing with Xixia, it's not that weak to the point where you need to borrow troops from those northern tribes, right?"

"All of you probably don't know yet, all this information comes from the Imperial City Secretary of the imperial court..."

"Imperial City Division?!!" All the civil and military officials present were shocked, and their eyes fell on Wang Yang dully, with an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

What's the matter, it's actually the Huangcheng Secretary who is feared by everyone and worried about ghosts. The question is what does the Huangcheng Secretary do? He actually started to engage in intelligence work outside of the Song Dynasty. Isn't this too unscientific?

"Could it be that the Huangcheng Division picked up the information from which official's mansion?" Zhe Keshi also took it for granted that the secret service agency of Song Dynasty should have found it from the mansion of an official who committed the crime after arresting it.

Wang Yang raised his hand and tapped his forehead lightly. "Wang forgot to tell you that a few days ago, His Majesty has decided to abolish the intelligence agency under the Ministry of War and merge it into the Imperial City Division.

All information will be reviewed and archived by the Imperial City Department, and all information belonging to the outside of the Song Dynasty and involving the Liao Kingdom will be copied and handed over to the North Room of the Privy Council for disposal. "

"And Wang made a request to His Majesty before, that is, to give me a copy of the three states for any information related to the Song Dynasty..."

Hearing Wang Yang's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhe Keshi slammed his mouth, and looked at Wang Yang with ghostly eyes.

Why does he always feel that Da Song's intelligence collection work belongs to the Imperial City Division, and he is afraid that he has something to do with the official Wang in front of him.

Wang Yang naturally felt the old driver's gaze, but he continued to act like nothing happened. "Now, you should no longer doubt the source and authenticity of these information, right?"
