Chapter 137 Where to go
Since mid-December, Lin'an City has lost contact with Yingzhou.

How the troops from all sides will fight, where they will go, and what they will need... These things must be planned in advance. Military salaries and materials cannot be allocated in a day. A delay of one day will affect the plan of the army, and even affect As far as the overall situation is concerned, there is also the long line along the Huaihe River, and the connections between the various armies are all through Lin'an... Firstly, it prevents the generals from having excessive personal friendship and disobeying orders; secondly, it is more convenient.

Just like when the Zhongshizhong marched together with Yao Gu and others, the other two armies did not catch up in the end. got in touch.

What's more, that Yingzhou is still the place where the emperor is.

From Lin'an to Yingzhou, the commute would take half a ten-day at the fastest, and now it's winter, the road on the river is impassable, and the land is wet and slippery, so it's normal to be slower.

But after a full seven days, if there is no weirdness or other incidents, such words can be used to comfort yourself, especially for veteran officials like Zhao Ding and Liu Ziyu who came from the Jingkang period. Difficult to pass.

Liu Ziyu was fine, he was originally a member of the Confucian family, not to mention that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his face, but he still had a calm temperament, although he was anxious at this time, he could still sit down.

Hu Quan was different. He was less than forty years old, and he was originally a violent person. When Qin Xiangye was powerful, he dared to write a letter asking Qin Hui to beheaded.

Now in the palace office, the third envoy is constantly pacing back and forth... He has lived in the palace for three days, and he is afraid that he will miss the news sent back by the government, but at this time today, he still do not know anything.

The palace had to send three waves of people out a day, and the fastest wave would take five or six days to come back... I knew it was useless to wait, but if I didn't wait, nothing could be done.

"Don't be too hasty, Bangheng. The money, food, and things that the officials want have already been arranged. Yingzhou City is also a place with high walls and thick walls. I think His Majesty will not have any accidents. Most likely, he met other people. Things have been delayed."

Zhao Ding's words can only be used to persuade Hu Quan, because he can't even persuade himself.

Even if the emperor forgot something, those people, Taiwei Zhang and Liu Qi, were all year-round leaders of soldiers, how could they forget!
Now Lin'an has not received any news, except that Yingzhou has not received any news. Even though the emperor had told Liu Ziyu before that knowing that he was there, the golden army would definitely come... But there are eleven or two people in Yingzhou. Wan's soldiers and horses are waiting, and everything is ready. The emperor asked for 100 million yuan, and the court allocated 150 million. .

After all, last year Liu Kai fought less than [-] people, and he was able to resist [-] enemies; now unless the Jin people use an army of one million, otherwise, how can there be any mistakes in Yingzhou.

But because of this, if the opponent is really attacking the city, there is no reason for Zhao Guan's family to sit idly by!

According to this person's temper, he should have led his troops to defeat the golden man under such an absolute advantage long ago, so how could there be no news!
There is indeed no news at the moment, and several ministers don't want to admit it, but they all have to care about this fact:

The current situation in Yingzhou is likely to be much different than what they imagined before.

Hu Quan still had an irritable look on his face. His appearance made others feel bad.

Liu Ziyu drank a bowl of hot ginger tea, and then said:

"Actually... the officials may have already thought of today's situation."

"Oh?" Zhao Ding looked at him, "Why did Yanxiu say that?"

Hu Quan also became quiet, he wanted to see what this guy could say.

"Entrusted by Bangheng that day, a certain person went to Yingzhou in person and asked the official: 'You put yourself in danger, have you ever thought about what happens?'"

"The official said: 'There is indeed an eventuality'."

"Liu Gong, don't try to be tricky, hurry up and make it clear!"

Liu Ziyu glanced at Hu Quan, stroked his beard and said:

"The official said in case, it means that if one day encounters today's situation, there will definitely be some demons and ghosts born...so he said..."

"Almost all the soldiers in Lin'an City were brought out, except for the 2000 people in the city defense, which is no different from an empty city."

"The three privy envoys are all outside, so they don't have that much time to take care of Lin'an's affairs. If you encounter those monsters and goblins, you should find a way to settle them."

He imitated the emperor's tone of speech, but he was a scholar after all, and he didn't have that vulgar atmosphere, which made people feel a little absurd.

"The officials are worried..."

Zhao Ding lowered his head and thought for a while, since the emperor went south, although there have been twists and turns everywhere, but there have been many talented and generals in the court, and after the Mutiny of Miao and Liu, he and himself have already started to deprive the military power of the soldiers. He looked around, and those who are capable of making trouble are now fighting against the Jin people in the north. He also understands those people, and they are masters who will never have two hearts.

If it's not a general, it's the clan?
But people in the Zhao family... at best, they are gentle, but at worst, they have no temper. They are all people who get by and are lucky to be alive. How can they have the courage to think about other things!
In addition, before the emperor's Northern Expedition, he killed Qin Hui and the Jin envoy, and his prestige in the world had reached its peak. There was no one who could have such ability in the Song Dynasty, except for Emperor Taizu.

The clan is not... During the years without disasters and disasters, there were not many refugees, and the capable bandits who should be recruited were recruited, and those who should be exterminated were also exterminated.

I haven't heard anything about it yet!

The more Zhao Ding thought about it, the more he couldn't understand it, so he cast a questioning look at Liu Ziyu... Is the official worrying too much?
Seeing the same look in the eyes of both of them, Liu Ziyu smiled wryly:

"Zhao Xiang and Bang Heng are both great talents in governing the country and helping the people. You can't imagine it, how can I imagine it!"

"Don't talk about anything else," Hu Quan grasped the focus of the problem at once, "If the situation that His Majesty said really happened, how should Mr. Liu deal with it? Has Your Majesty ever told you how to do it?"

Liu Yanxiu clapped his hands: "Bang Heng is really smart, no wonder His Majesty appreciates you so much."

Now even Zhao Ding couldn't help it anymore: "What is it, Yanxiu quickly talk about it, if there is an accident, we can discuss it together."

There were loud footsteps outside the government office, and hearing this movement, the number of people was not small.

This is the imperial palace, the Zhongshu Province, and the center of the Song Kingdom. Under normal circumstances, there will be absolutely no such movement.

Liu Ziyu stood up and wanted to see it, but was caught by Hu Quan:
"Liu Gong said first and then read!"

Zhao Ding stroked his beard: "What Bangheng said is exactly."

Liu Ziyu paused, and then said:

"The officials said that if you are worried about running out of soldiers, you can have two places to go."

"One, Li Yi'an!"

Li Qingzhao has been in private business for many years, and indeed has contacts with many rebels, including Zhao Ding, and she is also in contact... It's just that after the emperor wanted to appoint her an official last time, she stopped sponsoring many rebels. He also asked them not to fight against the gold on their own, after all, the emperor had already decided to make the Northern Expedition.

This is indeed a method... It's just that Zhao Guan's family used to look down on others, and now they are looking for others to help, maybe it is too much.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and even loud commotion could be heard. Even Zhao Ding, who is notoriously good-tempered, couldn't help frowning.

Who is so unruly!

But he still held his temper: "Then where should the second destination be?"

Liu Ziyu looked at Hu Quan, who had already stood at the door and looked out with his head tilted.

"Mingzhou, Yu Yunwen."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Hu Quan yelling:

"Who are you guys?! Do you know where this place is?! You have no rules and entered the palace without authorization. Do you want to rebel?!"

"rebel?"

A voice sounded familiar to them, but they couldn't immediately remember who it was.

"Whose rebellion?"
