Although Jiankang and Shanzhou are more than a thousand miles apart.

When the Song army was consuming horsepower.

Four or five good horses died and finally reported the military situation to Jiankang Mansion.

The Western Army was besieged and Hengshan was lost. From February 3, the second year of Shaoxing to February 10, the second year of Shaoxing, it had been lost for seven days.

On February 13, 2016, the husbands of Jiankang Mansion finally got the news.

When the courier knocked on the gate of the Privy Council.

The Privy Councilor Lu Yihao, who was sitting in the hall, was stupid.

This was undoubtedly a great bad news for the Song Dynasty, and half of the sky collapsed in the northwest.

He had seen countless Tubo people dispatched, Dangxiang people sent troops to enter the pass, recreating the old disaster of the Tang Dynasty and returning to the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The Han people were moaning under the iron hooves of foreign races, and their corpses were everywhere, and the Han family's clothes were not protected.

Now the Western Army, which the Song Dynasty relied on as the northwest barrier, has been trapped in boundless encirclement and ambush. I don’t know how many people can escape back.

On this day, countless officials from the East and West governments were sad, and Jiankang City was once again shrouded in a dark cloud, and the air was filled with fear.

Indeed, the Shenwu Army, Huaixi Army, Huaibei Army, and even the Yulin Army have achieved remarkable results.

However, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were already accustomed to the reliable Western Army.

For a hundred and fifty years, it was through this group of Western troops that consolidated the northwest.

Until today.

All the Shenwu Army and the Yulin Army have to take the lead.

Only the Western Army was the well-deserved number one in the hearts of the subjects of the Song Dynasty.

Despite their bad military discipline and their arrogant and domineering troops, they are still war gods in the northwest.

If all the Western Army were dead, who would guard this boundless beautiful country? The troops of the Song Dynasty were already in short supply, and I am afraid that this Northern Expedition would also die prematurely.

Who will resist the cruel and bloodthirsty alien butcher, and who can hold on in the northwest?

Wu Jie, Li Yanxian? Or Liu Qi?

Say a thousand words and ten thousand words.

Who can withstand such a huge disaster?

Who is qualified to fill this hole?

A big defeat before.

He turned in to Fan Zhongyan and Fan Gong, Han Qi and Han Gong.

This time, it is Zhang Jun and Zhang Gong, and Lu Yihao and Lu. Everyone avoids such a disaster, so who is willing to get involved in any of them?

The entrance to Jiankang Prefecture goes east to the North Gang Street, where the Privy Council is located, the Secretariat and the Capital Hall, where the Prime Minister retires from the government.

In the hall, almost all the officials of the Privy Council and the Secretariat, who are of the middle rank of the court, are as good as the official uniforms of the purple gold.

As the prime minister, Lu Haowen said nothing.

The image of the original good man has also become hideous.

His face was gloomy.

It seems like he will take action if he has a disagreement.

Fan Zongyin's face was gloomy and silent, Zhang Xu's face was sad and angry, and there was also a sense of sorrow between his eyebrows...

Even Li Gang, who had not been out for a long time, was paying attention to this matter in Yangzhou, and the letters he wrote were complaining.

With a bang, Lu Yihao slapped the table and looked at him with everyone's eyes.

: "The old events of Yongxi's Northern Expedition will be repeated. We will not forget the past and the descendants of the future generations, but we will take it as a warning.

However, now it has repeated the same mistakes and blindly holding the accountable is useless. Now it seems that Sichuan must be well maintained.

Shanzhou gave up the Xia people, and now that it is better to lose everything in the morning."

Lu Haowen finally moved and finally moved. The color on his face melted like ice and snow. He breathed a sigh of relief:

"At the same time, Sichuan cannot be missed. There are still many famous generals among the Western Army. If you retreat to the Dasan Pass area of ​​Sichuan, you can always defend it.

But at this time, the morale of the army cannot be chaotic, and Zhang Deyuan cannot suppress it. I wonder if I, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, have any weight?

Our bottom line is Sichuan. I will take the military supplies to stabilize first. Even if there are no soldiers, I have to grit my teeth and survive this period of time.

The Northern Expedition had to be temporarily put on hold. Lu Shu, the official family will be left to you to lobby, and bring the army back first.

Fan Jixiang, in Jiankang City, you should take care of all matters first, don’t cause trouble, and don’t let the thieves succeed. Please take care of Jiangnan and never cause trouble.

Now, only the official family is orthodox, and I don’t recognize anyone else. If there is chaos, remember to kill and pursue it to the end.”

After all, Lu Haowen was still a little worried that Qin Zong would do something stupid.

After hearing the order, Lu Yihao and Fan Zongyin did not dare to refute, so they could only accept it.

This is also the best way to do it now.

The rest will be handed over to the Zhao Guan family for personal disposal.

As for the final result, no one knows who and dares not think about it.

Although someone mentioned that Yue Fei, the governor of the Shenwu Army who was far away in Yunnan, had sent troops to the northwest, perhaps things could turn around.

But everyone disagreed. How could a little Yue Fei change the situation?

Unless Yue Fei knows the immortal magic and turns out food and food that more than 100,000 people can eat, everything will be empty talk.

What can Yue Fei do if Hengshan is defeated?

In fact, there are still people who feel sighing in their hearts.

The most are the officials in the south, who are more concerned about stability and more peace.

Why?

On the one hand, it was blamed for the problems in the literati and officials in the Song Dynasty.

On the other hand, the butt determines the head.

Many powerful and officials in the south are thinking.

Even if you have regained the north now.

What is consumed is still the food and food resources in the south.

It's been difficult to conquer the north.

The north cannot pay taxes for a while.

So where does this money come from?

The court would draw heavy taxes in the Jiangnan region.

So life will become harder and harder.

The Song Dynasty maintained this way, still magnificent, still singing and dancing to peace, and still being the paradise for their literati.

In their opinion, the expansion of territory was the culprit of the warriors' instigation and usurpation. The Song Dynasty did not need the bitter and cold places in the northwest. The Song Dynasty is the best Song Dynasty now.

Because they are having a very comfortable life!

There has never been a dynasty, where civil officials can be so comfortable, and the country is so rich, and they have tens of thousands of idle officials, such as wine, beauties, beautiful scenery, and food. A few more poems, why do you have other pursuits in life?

Opening the territory and expanding territory? The Yulin Army? The Shenwu Army?

Does this mean to make a fortune?

It is better to recite poems and write poems, drink in Qujiang River, and sing a name outside Donghuamen. It is a good man.

The ministers in the court were very busy.

Since we have discussed the decision, we will go our separate ways, going south and north.

For the northwest, the steps are prevented from being on the ground.

As for the Northern Expedition, we can only put it aside for the time being. The last elite troops of the Song Dynasty cannot be left in the north. If the Yulin Army, Huaibei Army and Huaixi Army are really defeated.

The Shenwu Army, which had just returned, was the Song Dynasty resisting the four countries that were like wolves and tigers next to them?

On that day, the envoys of Goryeo hurriedly bid farewell.

Lu Haowen didn't stop him either.

But they packed up their luggage and took three thousand old and weak soldiers to the north. They didn't know that Mr. Lu had gone to escape, but in fact they were carrying a lot of money and preparing to stabilize the Western Army.

At this time, Zhang Jun rushed back quickly, so he joined Lu Yihao's team with a resolute look on his face. It is worth mentioning that Qin Hui, the Minister of Rites, also joined the team to the north.

They plan to welcome back to Zhao Guan’s house.

Come back to stabilize the situation.

Of course, just as they set out, there was a quick horse that had already taken them one step ahead and headed north to Henan.

Although their husband cannot catch up, they must let the officials know about the northwest first, so that they can have time to deal with it.
To be continued...
