I became the son of Renzong

But after a day and a night of chasing... If it is really a civil matter, and the people who came from Beiliao are all nobles, then the combat power of Beiliao is too scary.

Therefore, Wang Shunchen was convinced at this time that the elites of the Beiliao Dynasty who came here this time were definitely the elite of the Beiliao Dynasty, and it was possible that they might even be palace guards.

Chapter 865

"Officials, Xiongzhou urgent report!"

The entire cabinet, including the prince, rushed into the Hall of Qinzheng, and the inner eunuch didn't even have time to report.

Even Zhao Xi was a little surprised by this situation.Could it be that Beiliao suddenly launched?Zhao Xi looked at Wang Zhongzheng, and saw that he was also confused.

In recent years, because the trade between Song and Liao has become more and more prosperous, Huangcheng Division has placed a lot of investigations in Beiliao, or the focus of Huangcheng Division is Beiliao.

If Beiliao launched a war, the Imperial City Division would not have no information at all.

"What's the matter?"

"Going back to the official's house. The prison of the Xiongzhou government office was attacked by unknown people the day before yesterday, causing nearly a hundred officials and servants of the Xiongzhou government office to be killed or injured. The master craftsman who was detained in the Lu family was rescued..."

This... Zhao Xi didn't react for a while.The dungeon was attacked?Robbery?A craftsman, spending so much money?

"What is the death and injury situation? Why is it a vague statement from nearly a hundred people?"

"Going back to the official's house, the veteran did not explain. There were five or 60 thieves, causing 17 deaths and 76 injuries in Xiongzhou. Most of the dead were jailers in the Xiongzhou prison, and the injured included Xiongzhou judges, Liufang officials, and Xiongzhou innocent people in the state."

Wang Anshi was in a hurry and forgot the official's request for real numbers and reports.

"Where's the garrison? Didn't notify the garrison? What is Wang Shunchen doing?"

Rob the prison, break into the prison, and kill all the jailers on duty.Zhao Xi understood that this was no longer a simple government affair, it was already a war.

Regardless of whether the Beiliao people are still as barbaric and good at fighting as they were in the early years, it is difficult for non-military formations to break out of prisons.If the Xiongzhou government still wants to hide it, or if Wang Shunchen shirks, he doesn't mind beheading a few people.

"Back to the official's house, General Wang led his personal guards to pursue, but there is no result yet."

Although Zhang Dun also thought that this was not a simple prison robbery, he did not think that five or sixty people could break through the border defense line.Zhang Dun still trusted Wang Shunchen.

"Shunchen still underestimated the enemy..."

Zhao Xi was a little emotional.The generals in the early years paid too much attention to any movement in Beiliao, just like Wang Anshi's performance now.In recent years, Guochao has almost no defeats in foreign wars, and the generals of Guochao seem to be a little proud.

"Officials, now..."

Zhao Xi didn't respond to Wang Anshi's words, but just walked aside and looked at the sand table.

"If the prison robbers of the Northern Liao Dynasty were the elite palace guards of the Northern Liao Dynasty, Wang Shunchen will suffer a big loss this time!"

After only looking at the sand table, and thinking about Wang Shunchen's character, Zhao Xi roughly understood the actual situation in Xiongzhou.

If you thought at the beginning that it was a trilogy of aristocrats entering the prison to rob, you would definitely suffer.

According to Zhang Dun's words, Wang Shunchen led his personal guards to pursue.The horse-shooting battle is one aspect, and Wang Shunchen's misjudgment is another aspect.This is not to say that Wang Shunchen was wrong. In this case, Wang Shunchen was able to lead his personal guards to pursue him. It was already seen that he paid attention to it, but the degree of attention was not enough.

"The north of Xiongzhou is full of plains. If one person enters Beiliao with three riders, with Beiliao's ability in riding and shooting, if you want to take down these robbers, you can only do it by chasing and intercepting them."

"Shunchen still doesn't want to mobilize the army!"

"If the entire Xiongzhou garrison had been mobilized at the time of the incident, it would have been possible to block the culprits around Xiongzhou. Of course, this can be regarded as an after-the-fact analysis. There is also a possibility that when the Xiongzhou government notified the garrison, the timing had already been lost. .”

"I don't want to pursue any responsibility, the incident happened suddenly..."

Zhao Xi murmured, without even raising his head, he kept staring at the sand table on Hebei Road.

"Official, what should we do now?"

The officials have always acted vigorously and resolutely, Wang Anshi didn't understand why the officials were so slow at this time.

"Wait! Trust Wang Shunchen. It has been almost three days since the case was reported to the court. Judging from what happened, the Xiongzhou Yamen was well aware of the garrison. Wang Shunchen led his guards to pursue him before he could convene a meeting and issue an order... ···”

"At that time, if Wang Shunchen can't pursue him, he will definitely give an order to encircle him during the pursuit... You must believe that Wang Shunchen has this awareness."

"It depends on the time now. If Wang Shunchen's order to deploy the siege is delayed, the thieves may have already escaped. If the timing of the siege is right, dozens of people will still not be able to escape."

That's how it should be.

The terrain of Xiongzhou is like this, presumably Wang Shunchen's original intention is also like this.If after receiving the Xiongzhou Yamen's request for help, they immediately pursued him, that's why they only brought their personal guards.Of course, there is one more point. In this kind of pursuit battle, Guochao has a great disadvantage in facing Beiliao.

Wang Shunchen is good at riding and shooting, and he also paid attention to it when choosing his personal guards.At this time, his personal guards had the ability to fight against the soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty when they were chasing.

If it is really a pursuit with troops in formation, I am afraid it will only increase the casualties in vain.

After looking at the terrain, Zhao Xi understood what Wang Shunchen did.

Wait... For the imperial court, now is the only thing they can do.

"Officials, will this matter cause greater turmoil?"

Wang Anshi is not at ease. Given his understanding of the Northern Liao Dynasty, since he dared to pay such a high price to rob the prison, I am afraid that the Northern Liao court is also prepared...

"That's a problem. It depends on the true identity of this great craftsman. Is it an official appointment, or a certain nobleman from Beiliao? Is this person a Han or a Khitan?"

"Let's do this. The court sent an envoy to Beiliao to ask the court of Beiliao. It is to question, not to explain, but to ask Beiliao to explain and compensate for the robbery..."

"Since Guochao feels that the war is not ready yet, let's talk about it..."

The investigations sent by the Imperial City Division to the Northern Liao Dynasty still had no real contact with the decision-making layers of the Northern Liao court.

The information from the Imperial City Division seems to be more like rumors that were known in advance.For example, Beiliao gave the queen to death and abolished the prince; the emperor of Beiliao favored Yelu Yixin and so on.

How much history has changed, but major events still follow the original law.

For example, these veterans of the country should have passed away in the past few years, but whether it was Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wang Anshi or Sima Guang, they all lived strong.Even Di Qing, although he dare not say that he can mount a horse to fight, is still alive and well.

The situation in the Northern Liao Dynasty was the same, Yelu Hongji was still the same, except that Yelu Chongyuan was instigated by Xixia to start the Battle of Hedong when he was in charge of the government, and the relationship with the Guochao was relatively peaceful for decades.

It may also be because of the rise of the country that Yelu Zhongyuan's rebellion was delayed, and it finally happened.Yelv Yixin was still highly used, the death of the queen happened, and the prince was abolished in the same way.

Also in view of this current situation, Zhao Xi feels that this time the dispute is more likely to end up being a dispute.

Chapter 866 Pretend

Wang Shunchen's pursuit could not achieve his goal. In the end, he would definitely mobilize troops and mobilize troops at the border.Instead of waiting for Northern Liao to send envoys to enter the country, it is better to take the lead and send people to stir up trouble first.

This is Zhao Xi's idea.

It's actually useless.Even if the Northern Liao Dynasty was appointed by the court, they would not admit it at this time. Even if those prison robbers were eventually captured and obtained confessions, the Northern Liao court would still deny it.Unless they want to go to war.

No matter what filth the Song and Beiliao had in private, they still maintained peace on the bright side.Because of Yanyun's problem, both Beiliao and Guochao knew that there would be a battle in the end.
