Chapter 764 Wang Wushan will definitely be able to defend Youzhou (second update)
Chapter 773

Liu Zhi finally stood up, walked up to the steps and knelt down on the ground.He made it clear that as the prime minister, he had a great responsibility for making mistakes in his judgment on the direction of such a major military event.

Soon, the heads of the Privy Council, the Ministry of War and other military organizations also jumped out and confessed their mistakes to the emperor Zhao Xu.

At this time, someone naturally jumped out and said with great righteousness that the main responsibility lies with Liu Zhi and other old party leaders. The emperor should make an immediate decision and remove all these officials who have been idle and seriously neglected their duties.

Leave it to us, the outstanding and conscientious members of the new party, to preside over the government. We will definitely be able to do better and be better than these guys.

Looking at these important officials kneeling at the bottom of the steps, as well as those ministers jumping up and down, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little tired. Fortunately, Ma Shang had a sharp eye, and he flicked the fly whisk in his hand a few times, and stopped those who had to wait. Arthur guy.

Zhao Xu glared at Fangcai's outspoken and troubled New Party officials, cleared his throat and said in a low voice. "The matter has come to this point, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, but how to solve the immediate crisis."

With a gloomy face, Liu Zhi once again stepped out of the queue and spoke loudly. "The old minister thinks that we should ask Prime Minister Han to mobilize a large army on Hedong Road, advance northward, and warn the Liao Kingdom. In addition, we should immediately order Prime Minister Su to lead an army to assist the three states, and also dispatch a large army to assist..."

"In addition, it is necessary to send envoys to blame the Liao Kingdom, why should they betray the alliance and attack each other?"

Soon, a group of ministers who were originally sluggish offered their words and suggestions, talking nonsense, expressing that they would be responsible for Xixia and Liao, and at the same time, the Song Dynasty should take precautions, not only the land of the three states, saying Even places may be in danger of being attacked by the Liao Kingdom.

In this case, Tokyo Bianliang should accumulate heavy troops to prepare for the Liao Kingdom's large-scale march southward. Some officials even asked Zhao Xu for an order, hoping to mobilize troops from the south to the north to counter Liaoxia's invasion. Join forces.

"Grandson has seen the imperial grandmother..." Zhao Xu, who was exhausted physically and mentally, announced his retirement until noon. Zhao Xu, who had no appetite at the moment, wanted to find the queen. Empress Dowager Gao Taotao just strolled over there.

"Get up quickly, you are so tired from the officials, you must have been tired today." Gao Taotao hurried forward to support Zhao Xu who was saluting, and patted the back of Zhao Xu's hand distressedly.

Sitting on one side, Queen Meng, who was already showing her pregnancy and becoming more and more plump, also stood up, and a pair of charming bright eyes fell on Zhao Xu with concern.

After Zhao Xu sat down, Gao Taotao, with a kind smile, listened quietly to Zhao Xu describing the emergency report received today, as well as comments and complaints about the civil and military reactions of the Manchu Dynasty.

After listening, Gao Taotao frowned slightly, looking a little worried and authentic. "It seems that Wang Wushan did not make a mistake. It's just that the actions of the Liao Kingdom are quite unexpected..."

"The 30 army of the Liao Kingdom, even if Xixia loses more soldiers and generals now, with the support of the Liao Kingdom, it would not be any difficulty to send out [-] troops. However, Wang Wushan wants to use [-] troops. Distributed in the three states to defend against nearly ten times the enemy..."

"There is a saying in the art of war, ten is to surround it, five is to attack it, and two times is to fight...Before, Wang Wushan told me in detail about his arrangement in the land of the three states, that is, to garrison heavy troops in Yuzhou, and use his As a fulcrum to prevent the main force of Liaoxia from advancing southward.

On the west side, Baishi City and Xinyanzhou were used to resist the enemies of Xingqing Prefecture, and on the east side, Wuyan Ancient City and Hongzhou were used to resist the enemies from the east. "

"I also think his idea is very good, but now that the Liaoxia coalition forces are so powerful, it may be difficult to stop them with Yuzhou alone." Zhao Xu patted his thigh angrily and said. "Those courtiers, one or two are busy shifting responsibility, or are flustered, and some even want to let the king of the frontiers really understand military affairs. There are not many people in the Ming army..."

"Since the Liao army arrived in Xiazhou two days ago, I am afraid that the soldiers have already arrived in Yuzhou. The officials should think about how to deal with it. As for the courtiers, most of them are civil servants and do not know military affairs. , plus I, Song, have not been in battle for a long time, so it is normal for them to panic for a while." On the contrary, Gao Taotao, the old driver, seemed very calm.

"There is Xueshi Su on the side of Shaanxi Road, and the land of the three prefectures also belongs to Shaanxi Road. The government has given him the right to do things cheaply. It seems that only Xueshi Su can handle it properly."

"It's just that the invading army is too large. It's really difficult to deal with it with the strength of the Shaanxi Road alone. Although I have issued an order to send [-] forbidden troops to the Shaanxi Road for reinforcements, the road is far away and I don't know if it can be done. We are in a hurry, and we also ordered Han Zhongyan to press against the Yinxia states on the side of Hedong Road..."

After a discussion with Gao Taotao, Zhao Xu's worries finally gradually dissipated, his mood finally relaxed a lot, and his thoughts gradually became clearer. "Thank you to Grandma Huang for your explanation. My grandson is finally in a much better mood."

"That's right, Wang Wushan wrote a letter more than a month ago, expressing his speculation about the whereabouts of Liao's soldiers and horses, and he has been secretly making various preparations for this matter."

"Even though the strength of the Liao army is somewhat unexpected, Sun'er also feels that with Wang Wushan's ability, he can definitely defend Youzhou."

"The Ai family thinks so too." Gao Taotao also nodded in agreement. "Besides, didn't you, the official, send another batch of ordnance to Wang Wushan? Calculated by the day, it should have arrived."

"If we can get this batch of ordnance in time, thinking about it, it should be more likely that Youzhou will be able to keep it." Zhao Xu rubbed his hands, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He didn't know the end of the batch of ordnance. Has it been delivered to Wang Wushan?

#####
"What?!" Wang Yang jumped up from behind the desk, lunged to Wu Qilang who had just entered the door and shouted. "A large number of ordnance?!"

"Yes, two thousand sets of Yuanyou armor, five thousand Yuanyou crossbows, ten thousand soft steel crossbow arms, and dozens of carts of firearms." Wu Qilang was taken aback by Wang Yang's actions, and hurriedly He repeated it quickly and quickly.

"Quick, what the fuck, prepare the horse quickly, I'll go and see for myself." Wang Yang raised his front and hurried outside.

When the horses galloped close to the south gate of Youzhou, they already saw a group of dusty Song Forbidden Army cavalry guarding the carts slowly driving into the south gate.

After the leading general saw Wang Yang, he rode his horse towards Wang Yang. "The last general Xu Zhao, in accordance with His Majesty's order, escorts military equipment..."

"Oh, I'm still an acquaintance, hahaha, Xu Zhuangyuan, oh no, he should be called General Xu." Wang Yang couldn't help being overjoyed, and returned a salute with a warm smile on his face.

Hearing the three words "Xu Zhuangyuan", Xu Zhao's expression seemed a little uncomfortable, mainly because he remembered that in the past on Yujie, he, the dignified martial arts champion, asked Wang Yang, the literary champion, to press The scene of violent beating on the ground, black history, definitely the black history of Chi Guoguo.
