If Waqiaoguan is broken, there will be a thousand miles of plains behind, and at the speed of the cavalry army of the Liao Kingdom, Kaifeng can be reached in a few days.

So the court once again raised the idea of ​​moving the capital and temporarily avoiding the middle of Shu.

The emperor had no choice but to agree with the performance of Kou Zhun and others, expressing his determination to fight to the death.

At the beginning of October, after some emergency preparations, the imperial court, with the daughter of the Yang family as the commander, joined the Shandong reinforcements and marched northward.

Cao Bin led [-] imperial troops to escort the emperor.

Originally, he was very satisfied with this arrangement, but after he set out on the road, he tasted the pain.

Every two days, the emperor would have pain in his waist and asked him to use qigong to recuperate.

Looking at Concubine Pan, who was following on the imperial chariot, with a youthful and radiant face, Cao Bin was a little bit resentful.

Yu Jia's personal conquest is also dishonest, but doesn't his back hurt?

He understood the reason why the emperor kept him by his side.

That evening, seeing two eleven or twelve-year-old children directing the soldiers to set up camp, and they were still in order, the emperor curiously said:

"Who are these two children?"

Cao Bin called them over and introduced:

"Officials, these two are the adopted sons of the minister."

"One was Chen Consort's son, and the other was of Uncle Zhang's bloodline."

Cao Zheng has the "Growth Inheritance Card", and he can learn the art of war extremely quickly.

Now, Cao Bin let him direct the camp, and Zhong Erlang and others supervised.

As for Zhang Shanfu's son, Zhang Liao, he is still a little ignorant, and he is only learning from Cao Zheng for the time being.

Although Cao Bin still had a "He Yan Growth Inheritance Card" in his hand, he didn't use it.

This card has very little restrictions on its use, but it has great effects, and he doesn't want to use it rashly.

The emperor looked at Cao Zheng, then at Zhang, and sighed:

"That fellow Zhang Shanfu is quite knowledgeable, and entrusted his son to you."

"You are so dedicated, the second son is very hopeful to become a talent in the future..."

As he spoke, he rewarded two jade pendants enthusiastically, saying:

"Follow your righteous father to learn the art of war, and you will become a pillar of the country in the future!"

Originally, the emperor wanted to hold Zhang Shanfu accountable, but seeing Zhang Shanfu's miserable experience after returning to the mansion, he stopped thinking about punishment.

Zhang Shanfu's wife was not killed either, but was imprisoned in a nunnery and stayed with the ancient Qingdeng Buddha for life.

Zhang Liao was a concubine, and was often abused by Zhang Shanfu's wife when he was at home.

After following Cao Bin, he cherished the opportunity to become a leader very much, and was particularly diligent in studying and practicing martial arts.

Although Cao Bin himself is more stretched, he likes others to work hard, so he simply adopted him as a foster son...

When leaving Beijing, there were only 8 imperial troops following the conquest. After passing through Daming Mansion, they joined Shandong to come to reinforce the army, and the number directly reached [-].

However, the defenders of Gyeonggi and Gyeongdong were recruited twice, and the defenses in the rear of Hebei and Shandong became very empty.

If defeated, Da Song would have to move the capital.

However, the Liao Kingdom was not much better. Starting from Xixia, Emperor Liao successively mobilized 40 horses, almost emptying out the domestic soldiers.

More than half a month later, Yu Jia finally arrived at Zhending Mansion, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were shocked when they saw this.

In the battle that day, the Song army directly broke through the three camps of the Liao Kingdom and beheaded [-] people.

Yelu Renxian, commander of the Second Route Army of the Liao Kingdom, had no choice but to retreat to Dingzhou for defense.

All of a sudden, Zhending Mansion gathered 17 soldiers and horses.

The situation at this time is.

Between Zhending and Dingzhou, the 17 soldiers of the Song Dynasty confronted the 8 people of Yelu Renxian.

In Xiongzhou, Emperor Liao besieged Waqiao Pass with 20 troops.

On the second day, we went to camp in Zhending Prefecture.

The emperor sat on the throne, Kou Zhun and Pan Renmei served in front of him, and many generals gathered together.

"Pan Qing's house, how should we arrange it now?"

Pan Renmei cupped her hands and said:

"Your Majesty's personal expedition is the time when the morale of our army is high."

"In my opinion, I should take advantage of the situation and defeat the Liao army in Dingzhou in one fell swoop."

"Then rescue Waqiao Pass!"

Although the female general of the Yang family was in a hurry and wanted to divide her troops to rescue Yang Zongbao, there was nothing wrong with Pan Renmei's strategy.

I had no choice but to endure it patiently and did not speak.

At this moment, the spies came to report:

"Your Majesty, Marshal, Yeluren first sent the letter of war, and wants to fight our army on the banks of the Shahe River!"

Pan Renmei was overjoyed and said:

"It's so good, this battle is exactly what I want."

The emperor asked other people for their opinions, and was about to agree, when Gao Qian suddenly ran in covered in blood and said:

"Your Majesty, Waqiaoguan has fallen, and General Yang Zongbao has retreated to Mozhou City. Please send troops to rescue quickly!"

His father, Gao Wang, was Yang Zongbao's lieutenant general. He personally went to the camp to report the news, which shows that the situation is critical.

Before the emperor could speak, Pan Renmei was already yelling:

"Go back and tell Yang Zongbao, let him stick to Mozhou, and he is not allowed to retreat, and he will be killed if he retreats!"

Yingzhou and Mozhou are the places that Liao people yearn for. If they occupy Mozhou, it will be difficult to come back.

There are few dangerous passes in Hebei. Without Yingzhou and Mozhou, the Liao people will come whenever they want, and there will be another smooth way to attack Kaifeng.

The female general of the Yang family suddenly became anxious, and Eighth Sister Yang couldn't help but cursed:

"You fart, Zong Baobing has few major generals, how can he stick to it?"

Pan Renmei glared at her and said:

"After I defeat Yeluren, I will naturally lead my troops to rescue him."

"Don't you want me to ignore hundreds of thousands of troops, just to save Yang Zongbao?"

Madam She frowned worriedly, arched her hands and said:

"Your Majesty, my Yang family is willing to bring our own soldiers to the rescue!"

The emperor waved his hand and said:

"Alright, I don't want anything to happen to Zongbao either."

"Pan Qing's family, Yeluren only has 8 people, so you don't need that many people to defeat him, right?"

"Can you spare some troops to support Yang Zongbao first?"

Pan Renmei said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, if our army wants to quickly defeat Yelu Renxian, we must ensure absolute superiority."

"Since His Majesty ordered, I can allocate 5000 troops..."

He was also a little depressed, although he wished that the Yang family would die cleanly, but this time he really didn't play tricks.

Although our side seems to have a lot of people, but the elite is limited, tens of thousands of people have to be allocated to protect the holy driver, and the rest are not much more than the Liao army.

[Silver wishing card (

) 2 cards: According to the host's wishes, it can be transformed into any high-level designated card. Note: it is only limited to the categories of products that have appeared. 】

On the second day after arriving in Zhending Mansion, a very valuable commodity appeared in the mall.

"nice one!"

Cao Bin was overjoyed, and quickly put it in the shopping cart.

The silver wishing card was once swiped in Xixia, and was transformed into a "Gao Shun" inheritance card by Cao Bin.

It's just a pity that it can't be translated into something too high-end.

However, this product has a wide range of applications, even if there is no special need right now, it can be stored temporarily.

Some time ago, only Zhang Shanfu provided him with [-] points.

Including the previous accumulation and the daily points earned during this period, there are a total of [-] points on the book, which is very rich.

It can be purchased temporarily if necessary.

In a flash, another three days passed.

Pan Renmei and the female general of the Yang family have led 12 horses to the decisive battle at the "Sand River Beach" dozens of miles away.

At noon, when the emperor was waiting a little anxiously, the messenger suddenly rushed in:

"Report... Grand Master Pan and the Liao people fought on the banks of the Shahe River."

"The Liao Kingdom wanted to ambush the cavalry to charge our army, but Hun Tianhou saw through it, and intercepted and dispersed the cavalry with the Japanese cavalry."

"Grandmaster Pan took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack and break the main formation of the Liao army!"

When the emperor heard the words, he immediately beamed with joy, and said excitedly:

"Okay! Our army has won!"

Kou Zhun and the others also showed joy on their faces, and finally let go of the heart they had been carrying all along, and then asked:

"Where is the main force of our army now?"

The soldier who reported the victory said:

"Grandmaster Pan is not resting, and has ordered Hun Tianhou to be the vanguard, and go to besiege Dingzhou City!"

Hearing this, Cao Bin was also relieved.

He was also afraid that the Song army would be defeated, but he did not expect the battle to go so smoothly.

It seems that there is no need to worry for the time being.

Kou Zhun smiled and said, "Should the officials and ministers prepare to move to Dingzhou?"

When the emperor heard this, his expression changed, and he frowned and said:

"Going to Dingzhou?"

Kou Zhun persuaded:

"Now that the main force of the Liao Kingdom is in the Great Song Dynasty, it will be safer to join Grand Master Pan."

Dingzhou is only one or two hundred miles away from the border of Song and Liao. The emperor was a little frightened, and turned his head to look at the crowd and said:

"What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

Not everyone has the guts of Kou Zhun. Once something goes wrong with the emperor, they will be responsible.

The emperor looked at Cao Bin and said:

"Juncai, what do you think?"

Cao Bin disapproved. Does the emperor need to be so forward?

For Song Dynasty, the biggest role of the emperor is to boost morale and show determination. Apart from this purpose, it is actually a burden.

Even if he moved to Dingzhou, the effect would be limited.

It is better to guard the city.

As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
