The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1814
"What is the loss of Beigukou? What's going on? What did the memorial say?" Zhao Kuangyin was very surprised. He didn't expect that Gubeikou, which he worked so hard to manage, would be occupied by Khitan at this time. What's going on? Hu Yan Isn't Zan stationed there?

At the beginning, this was the decision made by Zhao Kuangyin himself. Especially in recent years, there was basically no war. Zhao Kuangyin wanted to train troops, so there were not many troops in Gubeikou, but he never took it lightly, because the northern camp was in Gubeikou is less than ten miles away, and they can go to support them at any time.

"And there is Hu Yanzan stationed there. He is a veteran. How could he let the Khitan succeed? Is there a detailed battle report?" Zhao Kuangyin now wants to know what happened. How can something go wrong at this time.

"Your Majesty, the Huyan Sutra has been killed in battle. He died of exhaustion because he was unwilling to retreat during the battle with Khitan. The two sons of Prince Fu have also died in battle. Fu Zhaoxu is now seriously injured. Only Fu Zhaoshou is now intact, and the other generals have their own losses."

Miao Xun didn't say these things in the court, because they were too shocking. Da Song lost so much all at once, and he couldn't let his subjects know, otherwise it would cause panic. Li said this in order not to panic the courtiers.

what?
Zhao Kuangyin stood up abruptly. He also saw that Miao Xun was hesitant to speak in the hall, so he didn't say much. He thought it was inconvenient to say something, but now Huyanzan is dead, not only Huyanzan Zan and the two tiger generals of the Fu family were Song Junnan's generals. It was unexpected that Zhao Xu would be like this.

"Beitian Zhezhu, I didn't expect to lose three of my generals. It hurts me." Zhao Kuangyin's face is really ugly now. This is the sorrow of Song Jun. Da Song Wei has not yet announced to the Quartet, and now the loss of generals, this It is unlucky.

"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body. The general will inevitably die before the battle. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much, but what should we do now?"

Miao Xun quickly dissuaded him, because there are more important things to say next, and this is the most important thing. If this matter is the key to the entire battle situation, it can be big or small.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent back by Mr. Zhao Pu Zhao. It is urgent to use more than one, and the highest authority is used, so it can only be seen by Your Majesty. Please read it."

Some memorials are not allowed to be read by the ministers, of course you can peek, but this is another advance, you must not let others see it when you take a peek, if others see it, report it to the emperor, and you will It's over, I have to let the emperor suspect that you have ulterior motives.

"How could this happen? How could Gao Huaide make such a mistake. The entire barracks was infected with the plague. It really failed my trust."

Seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin became even more angry. What was written in Zhao Pu's memorial was the current situation, which Zhao Kuangyin had to pay attention to. The plague broke out in the entire army camp, which was more terrifying than Huyanzan's death.

Hu Yanzan died, just saying that the Song Dynasty lost a general, but the plague in the entire army camp is likely to plunge the northern border into crisis and further threaten the capital.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Now we can only think of countermeasures. We can temporarily withdraw some of the nearest garrison, but absolutely not too much, otherwise our entire plan will be disrupted. Your Majesty thinks that Jinan Mansion can be temporarily relaxed. After all, if the hundreds of thousands of troops in our northern battalion lose their potion, the loss will be much greater than that in Jinan Prefecture, and there is nothing to do in Jinan Prefecture now. There are still 5 people on their side, so General Gao Huailiang can rush to help the north Camp."

Miao Xun felt that the important thing in front of him was not to be angry, but to find a way, and Zhao Pu also mentioned in the memorial that he needed to mobilize troops, but he needed to mobilize troops from around Bianjing. Those who guard Gyeonggi are transferred unless there is a major change, and generally they will never move.

And he also suggested that Zhao Kuangyin choose another strong general to come over, because he felt that the plague this time was related to Gao Huaide's dereliction of duty, and he even wanted Zhao Kuangyin to recommend the general, but Zhao Kuangyin would never do this.

After he was angry, he also thought about the pros and cons, especially changing generals just before the battle is a taboo for military strategists. The occurrence of the plague is very strange, and there is no time to investigate it now. The top priority is to save those 10 people , Sending troops to help is also the meaning of the question.

"Okay, let's do as you said. In addition, it is decreed that Huyanzan, Fu Zhaoxin and Fu Zhaoyuan are each the protector of the country, and their titles will be inherited by their heirs. Their deeds will be told to the world, so that all the subjects of the world will remember. Live their valor."

Zhao Kuangyin did not object to Miao Xun's proposal either. After all, this was the most appropriate way. He hadn't forgotten to canonize several of his generals. In fact, he had not received Zhao Xu's memorial.

"Your Majesty, another urgent memorial has been delivered." The eunuch outside shouted, and then sent it in.

Zhao Kuangyin thought that there was something wrong, so he opened it directly and read it, but this memorial shocked Zhao Kuangyin greatly, because it was sent by his son.

"Miao Xun ordered Gao Huailiang to set off immediately without any delay, or I will take his head." After reading the memorial, Zhao Kuangyin actually issued such an imperial edict. Miao Xun didn't know what was written on it, but only Can go to execute.

"Wang Gonggong, in whose name is this memorial sent? I don't think it was sent through a formal channel. Could it be sent by Su Yiwei?" After Miao Xun withdrew, he directly asked the person outside Eunuch Wang, he was the one who sent it just now.

"Master Miao, this is what came from Su Yiwei. It is the top secret. All the servants don't know who sent it, but the background should be not small, because when it was in the hands of the villain, someone was there all the time. Watching, watching the slaves go in, they left."

Miao Xun heard that Su Yiwei sent it, so he didn't say much. Now that he is no longer in charge of Su Yiwei, he can't bother to ask, so he can only leave.

When the news of Hu Yanzan and other generals' sacrifices spread, the soldiers and civilians in Bianjing were shocked, and they all supported Song Dynasty to attack Khitan with all its strength. After all, Song people now have a sense of superiority.

Many businessmen heard about it, and immediately donated money and goods, saying that they were loyal to the court, so that the court could teach the Khitan people a good lesson. Unexpectedly, the generals lost by the court not only did not shake the morale of the Song Dynasty's army, but even more united with the enemy.
