The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1824 Resolutely Abandoning the City
When Huyanzan died in battle, this Zhou Shun was also in Gubeikou, and he was in charge of the defense of Gubeikou, but he didn’t expect that this person was an inner ghost, and Huyanzan’s brother-in-law opened the city gate. Because he was the one who introduced this person to Zhao Pu.

As for Huyan Zan's death in battle, this matter must be investigated clearly. Ordinary people can't say anything. If a frontline general died in battle like this, the details must be known. Then Zhao Xu will know about Huyan Zan foster brother.

And there is still one person who has played a role, that is Zhou Shun, Zhou Shun came back intact, Zhao Xu heard some unusual things from the soldiers, and someone has provided evidence, this Zhou Shun is the ghost, at that time When Liu Qinhu told Zhao Xu what he had found, Zhao Xu was very angry.

"This bastard, why do you want to do such a thing? Why did you betray me, Song Dynasty? Could it be that Khitan can make him directly crowned king, so mad at me?"

"Your Highness, don't need to be angry. We have already understood from his personal guards that he hated me, Da Song, and did such a betrayal. Speaking of it, it has something to do with Da Song's military law." Liu Qinhu began to explain.

"How do you say, could it be that he violated the military law of my Great Song Dynasty?" Zhao Xu asked suspiciously.

"He drank and made trouble in the army, and beat the soldiers. According to our military discipline, he was to be beaten with [-] military sticks. The execution was General Gao Huaide, but he refused to accept it. In the end, Mr. Zhao Pu begged him to make meritorious deeds. The Thirty Army Let me remember for the time being that it was at that time that he began to hate General Gao, and vowed to make us Da Song pay the price."

"Could it be that just because of this, he did such an act of cooperating with the enemy and treason?" Zhao Xu asked. Zhao Xu was also very depressed, was it worth it?
"Yes, perhaps, in his eyes, his face is the most important thing in this world. If he loses face, then he is his enemy." Liu Qinhu checked this person, the natural way who is he.

"Maybe he has other things, and it can't be because he lost face in front of the whole army. Doesn't he know that if he is found out, his nine clans will be implicated? He won't be so stupid. " Zhao Xu concluded.

"I don't know, Your Highness, I have already executed his guard in secret, so he won't be discovered, so what should we do now?"

"Now that his identity has been confirmed, it's easy to handle. I'll make a trap for him to sneak in directly. Let them help us do a good deed."

In fact, Zhao Xu released that secret on purpose, just to see how Zhou Shun would act. Maybe Zhou Shun never had the chance to release this secret.

Hearing what Liu Qinhu said, Gao Huaide finally understood that he didn't know all this before, but it was just a game of Zhao Xu's. Only now did he know that Zhou Shun was such a person.

"Whether Zhou Shun gave the above things to the Khitan people, why did His Highness think of asking about it today? If I had arrested this guy long ago, tortured him, he would do whatever he was asked to do."

Gao Huaide was very strict with traitors, which was why Zhao Xu didn't tell him. If he had told him, Zhou Shun probably wouldn't be there now, and he would have been snapped by him long ago.

"That's why I didn't tell you. If I told you, Zhou Shun would have basically become a man without a head. As for this Zhou Shun, he has already handed over the plan we are waiting for to Khitan tonight. Now he This person is useless."

Zhao Xu's meaning is obvious, this person doesn't need to be kept anymore, let's settle it on the spot, Zhou Shun only sent this thing out at night, that's for a reason, he has been watched closely by others, only at night Time, that is to say, Khitan only got the news now.

"Is this news accurate? Has the Song army all retreated? Where is the empty city now?" Khitan finally got the news, and it was Zhou Shun who sent it out.

"This person was arranged by Zhao Pu in the army. In fact, we were able to open the gate of Gubeikou. This person has made great contributions, so the information he sent is completely accurate, but we can't act now. Look at the above It is very clear that they have already set up an ambush. If we enter the city at this time, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. This Zhao Xu also thought too simply, leaving more than 1 people to want us to take the bait, and wipe out some of us in the dark. It is wishful thinking, we will directly attack the city tomorrow morning, and they want to cultivate for a few days before fighting for us."

Xiao Tianzuo held the information sent by Zhou Shun in his hand, and said with a sneer, the plague of the Song army is basically healed, but the soldiers are not yet capable of fighting. Zhao Xu wants to use this city to block our footsteps and restore the Song army to fight Fight them again.

And Zhao Xu will definitely set up more traps on the road, which is also an important reason for their active retreat. If it were in the past, the Khitan people knew that the Song army had retreated, and they rushed forward like crazy, and they would definitely lose a lot by then. Very tragic.

This time is different. They have exclusive news and more detailed plans. Knowing these plans, they don’t have to be afraid, and they won’t be fooled. Xiao Tianzuo really wanted to laugh.

"If that's the case, what's the point of taking down this small city? It's not a waste of time. Otherwise, I'll directly lead people to attack the city tonight, saving night and dream." Yelu Haowu was worried that there was something tricky about it.

"No, the night is the best cover, which can reduce our casualties, and we already know his plan, so it goes without saying, we will slowly wipe them all out."

Xiao Tianzuo's meaning Now that you know Zhao Xu's plan, you have to make good use of it. The above is very detailed, there are ambushes, there are roadblocks, etc., there are all of them, so the Song Army is not there yet. They don't have any secrets under their noses. In fact, this time is the best time to attack, but Xiao Tianzuo and the others didn't cherish it, and Zhao Xu announced an order that everyone couldn't think of at this time, that is, to abandon the city. Everyone abandoned the city, left here, and left no one behind, but all the torches and flags must still be kept, and they must not be moved a little.

This was an order issued after Zhou Shun was executed, so it was impossible for Khitan to obtain this important information.
