I became the son of Renzong

Unexpectedly, Fu Bi set the tone for this matter with one sentence, which is very good.

In fact, in the minds of the officials in the Political Affairs Hall, there was no thought of the Liaoxia coalition forces coercing the border people to attack the side wall. Everyone was sure that it was the officials who took the blame for Di Qing and put the Liaoxia coalition forces into the encirclement ahead of time.

This is not the first time this has been done. Didn't the last expedition to the west just order the guards of the border village to abandon the pass?Then ambush at the designated location for the final encirclement and suppression.

How similar is it this time?

Fu Bi and others are even sure that the part of the soldiers who gave up Yanmen Pass will definitely play a big role in blocking the Liaoxia coalition forces in Dingxiang and Xinxian.

Otherwise, why didn't the Liaoxia Allied Forces break through Yanmen Pass before Di Qing set off?But when Di Qing arrived in Taiyuan Mansion and started to arrange for this decisive battle, did he break through Yanmen at such a good time?

The key point is that the general guarding Yanmen Pass is an old guard battalion soldier, and everyone in the court knows that he is definitely a confidant of the official family and a pro-army. Only if he voluntarily abandons the pass, will he not commit the crime of losing his teacher and humiliating the country.

Now it's completely healed, Dafanglue finally got out of the most critical part.

There is really no need for the officials to do this and that. Is it necessary to make a report of the Imperial City Secretary?Is it possible that we and other ministers still don't know the importance of such important matters?

If Zhao Xi knows that everyone in the Political Affairs Hall thinks this way, he will definitely hold his head and cry for grievances... This is really not his order, but a real progress in the battle situation!

"My lords, I'm actually worried about the changes in the battle situation after the fall of Yanmen Pass. The imperial court, especially the workshop city, must ensure the supply of armaments in Hebei, Huanqing and other places, even if it is returned after the war, it will not hesitate."

The frontier army has a fixed number of standing firearms. Once the war is over, the firearms supplied to the frontier army cannot be left behind by the frontier army... This is a rule, and it must be strictly enforced.

This is more conducive to controlling the army than using literature to control martial arts.This is also the reason why the courtiers finally agreed to let the general lead the army. As long as the workshop city is controlled, there is no possibility of chaos in the country.

Fighting wars is making money. Fortunately, the current imperial court is very rich and doesn't care about the recycling of firearms.

"Your Majesty, if it doesn't work, then you can transfer troops. Jiangnan Road and Chengdu Mansion have also trained some new troops over the years. There are no more or less, and they can always increase the defense force."

Wen Yanbo really felt what it means to be stretched. These days, after deploying troops, he discovered the lack of soldiers capable of fighting.

It's not that there are no people, there are people, and they can only be called people. Whether it's Hebei Road or Huanqing Road, all the generals would rather not increase their troops than those forbidden troops who are idle.

Not to mention other places, it is Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongdong West Road, Bianliang, and there are still nearly 30 forbidden troops idle.

"There's no need to make noises, the grass and the trees are all soldiers. At the beginning, they were sticking to it. These places should have the ability to hold on for two or three months. It's just a warning to them that they must be firm and clear, so as to prevent the fall of Yanmen Pass from happening again!"

Officials... this is exposed, isn't it?Don't let the fall of Yanmen Pass happen, but also strengthen the wall and clear the country.Compared with Yanmen Pass, these pass cities that need to be defended, which soldier is better than Yanmen Pass?

After a brief exchange of the current battle situation and changes, and some information about the supply of armaments, the discussion this time was just broken up.

……

After all, it is impossible to hide the fall of Yanmen Pass from the ministers and workers of the court. Even if the minister of the political affairs hall does not say anything, the military report is secret, but it cannot prevent the merchants coming and going on the East Road.

As a result, the entire court meeting was turned upside down again.

"Your Majesty, why didn't the courtiers be informed about the fall of Yanmen Pass? What's the reason?"

"We are waiting for the ranks of the imperial court to give us the right to participate in and discuss state affairs. The fall of Yanmen Pass is such a major event. Why didn't the imperial court arrive and report it? How did the Zhengshitang manage the government? How can we allow this to happen?"

"Your Majesty, I impeached Di Qing for being timid and fearful of fighting. The army stopped and led to the fall of Yanmen Pass, which led the Liaoxia coalition forces to enter the Taiyuan Basin and burn the people of Hedong!"

"Your Majesty, who is the guard at the Yanmen Gate? Why is there no punishment from the court?"

"My lords, why don't you wait for the Kuang court's law for such an act of bereavement and humiliation of the country?"

Zhao Xi really wanted to say: The reason why I didn't announce it to the public is that it's useless to bother you all yelling like this.

"At the time of the great war, it is the right way for the monarch and ministers to conspire to defeat the enemy. What's the use of such a noisy court meeting and criticizing the frontline soldiers? Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that during the war, the court meeting should be cancelled, and the relevant ministers should be selected. Work, increase the frequency of political discussions, so as to avoid military aircraft being abolished due to trivial matters!"

"Yes! Retire!"

Fu Bi should have a deep understanding of Zhao Xi's three-level decision-making system, and perhaps he is quite annoyed by this noisy court meeting.

How can there be any reason for such a suggestion?

There is a very strange phenomenon, even Di Qing is also strange, otherwise he would not have dedicated the report.It has been more than ten days since Yanmenguan fell, but the scouts were released almost to Daizhou, and they did not notice that the Liaoxia coalition army was marching south.

Zhao Xi was also surprised when he saw such a memorial.

Could it be that the Yanmen Gate guards who entered the mountain were harassed?It shouldn't be.Liaoxia coalition army, that is nearly 20 troops, even if it is a bit exaggerated, there are always 10,000+.

It doesn't take much, just let out 3000 to 20 cavalry, and chase the Yanmen Gate defenders all over the mountain, which is enough to prevent two to [-] people from blocking the coalition army's rear. It won't be possible for a dozen or [-] troops to wipe out thousands of people, right?

"Your Majesty, could something have happened in Liaoxia?"

Although the war did not start across the board, the borders were still closed. Whether it was Guochao or Northern Liao Xixia, they all closed the borders.

It is very difficult to pass on the information of Beiliao and Xixia, even the information about the Yanmen Gate guards entering the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare is not available, so we can only guess based on reports from Di Qing.

It has to be said that Han Qi's guess may be right.

Now that Yanmen Pass has been broken, since Daizhou has been captured, there is no reason to stay in Daizhou?From Daizhou to the south, it is a long and narrow plain, which is conducive to cavalry operations.

However, the Liaoxia coalition forces stopped in Daizhou, which made people feel a little bit overwhelmed...

Doesn't it mean that the Liaoxia coalition forces don't need to consider the logistics supply of 10,000+ troops?

This military situation is really confusing.

Chapter 534 The Most Worried

Han Qi's guess was finally confirmed.

In a few days, Hongling express deliveries came from Hebei Road and Yanyan Road, all of which reported that envoys had entered the country.

That's right, as expected, something went wrong inside Liaoxia.

In the past few days, details about the offensive and defensive battle at Yanmen Pass have been sporadically revealed.

After Di Qing arrived in Hedong, he asked Daizhou to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, but did not increase troops at Yanmen Pass.After receiving Di Qing's order, the guard general of Yanmen Pass resolutely abandoned Yanmen Pass just as the Liaoxia coalition forces were coercing the people into attacking the city.

Five thousand soldiers not only withstood the [-]-day siege, but also caused tens of thousands of casualties to the Liao and Xia coalition forces.

What is even more frightening is that after the Liaoxia Allied Forces entered Yanmenguan City, before they had time to digest the joy of breaking through the pass, the soldiers ambushing in the Guancheng Gunpowder Depot lit the gunpowder depot, causing the Liaoxia Allied Forces to suffer nearly 2000 casualties again.

It is precisely because of the two completely different situations of victory in breaking Yanmen Pass and excessive casualties that caused disputes within Liaoxia.

In the end, the general trend of victory at Yanmen Pass was adopted, and envoys were sent to Bianliang again to seek benefits...~It should be like this, and only in this way can everything be straightened out.

"Since you're here, let's see you. We are a country of etiquette, and etiquette must not be abandoned. It's also a good time to buy time for the east and west armies to gather."

Seeing the envoys sent by Liaoxia, everyone was quite relaxed.Hearing Fu Bi's ridicule like this, even Wang Anshi grinned.

Indeed, the past few days have been really tormenting, the unclear military situation, the weird coalition forces, and the earlier plan did not go smoothly.

Now it's all right, the envoy has driven away all the anxiety, everything is going on almost according to the setting, and he can't help but feel teasing.
