I became the son of Renzong

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.

They are gathering strength...
The matter was very urgent, and the cabinet did not delay, and soon determined the envoys to be sent to the Beiliao.

It is different now. In the early years, the envoys to the Northern Liao Dynasty were angered. Most of the court appointments were to send important ministers, at least they were ministers who could be the masters to a certain extent.

At this time, although the envoys will not be sent to Beiliao to order arrogantly, at least they will not have to humble themselves and can straighten their waists.

Therefore, there is no need to send important ministers at this time.Besides, it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of a craftsman, it's a matter of conveying an attitude...
Arrangements have been made in a hurry, and within a day of the envoys leaving Bianliang, the report from Xiongzhou arrived.

"Officials, Xiongzhou urgent report..."

It's urgent report again, it has become a daily report, and it's still an urgent report.It was also the meeting of the entire cabinet, which made Zhao Xi really nervous.

Zhao Xi was aware of the accident that triggered the war.For example, in the World War I in later generations, more than 20 countries were involved in the war because of an assassination, and more than 6000 million people participated in the war.

It has not been possible to figure out the true identity of the master of the Lu family, and it is difficult to make an accurate judgment on the development of the situation.

Guochao is preparing to go north, and does not want to take the lead in launching a war.Hastily launched, the outcome is unpredictable.The military strength of the Northern Liao Dynasty in this matter has not yet been reduced to the level where it was defeated by 20 Jurchen tens of thousands of people decades later, and it still has a certain combat power.

Due to the rise of the dynasty in recent years, Beiliao is also on guard. Even though the court in Beiliao is a bit chaotic, the mainstream still maintains vigilance against the dynasty.

"Officials, Xiongzhou Zoubao, five thousand Chen soldiers from the Northern Liao Dynasty, are waiting in the north of Baigouyi!"

Before the cabinet came in, Wang Anshi anxiously told the contents of the report first.

This is also the experience of the cabinet in handling things.While arranging for the envoys to go to the Northern Liao Dynasty, the cabinet also ordered the post station to unblock the post delivery channels in Xiongzhou and the entire border of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

The courier is required to ensure that the border memorials can be delivered to the court quickly and in a timely manner.

"Are there reports from other border villages?"

Zhao Xi also felt that things had changed a bit, and it seemed to be developing in another direction.If it is not done well, it may really trigger a war between the two sides.

"Not yet. The cabinet has already notified the courier to ensure that the report is delivered in time."

Five thousand cavalry, Xiongzhou garrison nearly [-], still dominated by Wang Shunchen, what use can these five thousand cavalry be?In the early years, there were more than this number of Northern Liao troops fighting grass bones on the border every year.

I don't understand.intimidate?Could it be that Beiliao still thinks that five thousand cavalry can intimidate the country?
"How does Wang Shunchen respond?"

"Wang Shunchen divided his troops during the pursuit, and led his troops to the north, preparing to turn back and intercept the robbers. After learning about the Chen soldiers in Beiliao, he handed over the matter of intercepting the robbers to the deputy general. Get ready for battle."

What's wrong?Zhao Xi always felt that something was wrong, but he never grasped that feeling...

The cabinet was a little anxious about the official's hesitation at this time.At this time, it is very likely that a war will break out soon. How can the officials hesitate at this time?
Once the Northern Liao Dynasty launched a war without the preparation of the government, it would be a disaster for the people and industries of Hebei Province.

After many years of peace, Hebei Province is considered to be recuperating, and it is hard to gather vitality... The key is that due to the prosperity of trade with Beiliao these years, Hebei Province has various industries.

This loss is immeasurable.

"My elders, when is the best season for cavalry to fight? It's the end of autumn, and the crops in Hebei Road have been harvested."

"For Beiliao, it may be the autumn harvest period. Next, the cavalry of Beiliao should let their horses fatten up? Is it possible to start a large-scale war at this time?"

"Of course, I'm not saying that there is absolutely no possibility. Five thousand cavalry soldiers are on the frontier. This is not the situation of a big war."

To say that Beiliao launched a war, the most suitable season should be spring.Launching at the end of autumn is in line with the timing for the country to start a war.

The most important way of fighting in the Northern Liao Dynasty is cavalry. At this time...

"Could it be a response?"

"Very likely. What Ziyou said is very possible!"

Such a reminder from Su Zhe made Zhao Xi feel enlightened.

"Officials, according to Xiongzhou's report, when Wang Shunchen led his personal guards to pursue, the small group of robbers did not go directly north, but turned west."

"If Chen Bing of the Northern Liao Dynasty was there to respond, why didn't the robbers go directly to the north, but turned to the west instead? Isn't this looking for far away?"

This is also difficult for Zhao Xi to understand.

Also, who is this great craftsman from the Lu family?Is it worth the Beiliao people's support?It shouldn't be.

wrong······
"Order all prefectures, counties and counties in Hebei Province, including all industrial workshops in Hebei Province, to guard all small workers and master craftsmen from Beiliao."

"Order Wang Shunchen, Zhexing, Cao Lin, Gao Jingting, etc., to divide the troops to assist the local and state capitals in the detailed investigation while ensuring that the border line is safe..."

"Everyone, unless the master of the Lu family is the prince, it is impossible for Beiliao to mobilize the troops so much, and even use Chen Bing to intimidate the Guochao. There is only one possibility. The so-called Chen Bing is just a cover, just to let the Hebei Road of the Guochao. Local state capitals, focus all your attention on the border."

"Furthermore, this imminent situation can easily make the industrial workshops in Hebei Province panic..."

At this time, Zhao Xi's thinking was completely clear, and he had basically determined the purpose of Beiliao.

"Everyone, if at this stall, the small workers and master craftsmen of the entire Hebei Province fled? That is to say, I think that the purpose of Chen Bing in Beiliao this time is not to take care of this great craftsman, but to target the entire Hebei Province. craftsmen in all the workshops of the Tao."

"Hebei Province is the first to bear the brunt of the Chen Bing border in Northern Liao. It is bound to focus on whether the war may break out. At the same time, all the workshop owners in Hebei Province will also consider how to reduce the loss of fixed assets at this time."

"At this time, it is the best time for the artisans to escape..."
