The official Zhao Ji was confused and seemed to have been helped by someone to the Wansheng Tower in the west city of Kaifeng Prefecture. He looked out the Wansheng Tower, and what caught his eye was a dark mass of soldiers, covering the entire earth and extending to the horizon.

Countless black flags fluttered in the wind, various siege equipment had been set up, and the sound of golden drums and horns came one after another, and there were occasionally cheers in Khitan.

The sound was overwhelming, and countless people were roaring together: Break Kaifeng and destroy the State of Song!

The Khitan army was at the city, and the Song Dynasty was in danger!

With a terrified exclaim, Zhao Ji was already soaked in sweat when he woke up from the nightmare.

"Official family?" The beauty beside her was awakened, and she supported her elbows and supported her delicate body, making Zhao Ji's obsessed body appear in front of Zhao Ji under the faint lights. Empress Dowager Liu's voice was soft, "But you have a nightmare again?"

"It's okay..." Zhao Ji shook his head. The scene of the Khitans coming to the city in his dream made him shocked.

Since the news of the fall of Dingzhou City came, Zhao Ji had never slept for a long time. He originally thought that the Song Dynasty had a strong military force, the Western Xia was pacified, the Karakhan Dynasty was destroyed, and even the Persian food was kneeling down. What the three Buddhas were all over the country were even more worth mentioning.

But unexpectedly, the Khitan, Xixia, Karakhan, Persia, Dashi, and the group of people from the Tianzhu Kingdom were completely different!

It took only how long the war with the Khitans, and the capital of Dingzhou Road was captured by the Liao soldiers! Moreover, the main force of Hebei West Road, four generals led by Zhong Fu, had a total of 40,000 (the number on the book, including the auxiliary soldiers), and tens of thousands of people accompanying him, were likely to have been eaten by the Khitan army.

In addition, the two generals stationed in Guangxin Army and Ansu Army were also severely injured in the confrontation with the Khitans, with a total loss of nearly 10,000 troops.

A general stationed in Dingzhou also lost more than 8,000 people in the battle of Dingzhou, which can almost be considered annihilated!

In other words, the Song army suffered as much as 18,000 losses in the battlefield on Dingzhou Road alone, excluding militias and civilians! If Zhong Fu's troops were finally wiped out, the number of losses would jump to 58,000 people...

In addition, the departments directly under the Xuanfu Department, commanded by Zhendingfu Road and Gaoyangguan Road, also reported losses of more than 10,000 people in total.

In the blink of an eye, almost 70,000 troops were defeated... Well, the troops on the books were of course defeated!

Vacancy and other things do not exist! In the Song Dynasty, civil officials did not like money, military officials were not afraid of death, and eunuchs were not lustful, how could they have tens of thousands or tens of thousands of vacancies?

Even if there is, it is a good opportunity to write off the vacancy.

Therefore, a considerable number of the losses in each report are empty-cap soldiers, but they only exist on the books, but they actually do not.

However, Zhao Ji did not know the tricks. When he saw the report below, he really thought that the Liao soldiers were very powerful and he could not defeat so many elite soldiers from the Song Dynasty in a blink of an eye.

"Yang Jian!" Zhao Ji shouted. "When is it?"

Not far from the couch, a sharp voice sounded: "It's only been three o'clock in the morning when I returned to the official house." After a pause, the voice said again, "Official house, Yang Duzhi left Beijing yesterday and went to Hebei. The one who stayed tonight was Liu Youduan."

Liu Youduan is the confidant of Empress Dowager Liu. It was a bit wrong for Zhao Ji to stay tonight, so the person who stayed directly was Liu Youduan, the celebrity of Empress Dowager Liu.

“Hebei…”

Zhao Ji was silent. He remembered that Yang Jian was a day ago. When the news of the fall of Dingzhou came, he was sent by Zhao Ji to Jiehe as the Hebei Road Supervisor. The situation in Hebei West Road was bad. It seemed that it was not a reason to replace the military commander responsible for supervising the battlefield of Hebei East Road.

However, Zhao Ji still sent his confidant Yang Jian to replace Tan Zhen with good work... Of course, there is a reason for such personnel arrangements. Yang Jian took Zhao Ji's secret order to Jiehe Market.

The content of the secret order was of course asking for peace from the Khitan.

The 70,000 troops on Hebei West Road were probably gone. What else could Wu Haogu fight on Hebei East Road? Even if he won a few games, he would have taken advantage of the Liao army's main force being absent. When the Khitan army turned east, would Wu Haogu not be wiped out?

It was a trivial matter for him to be wiped out. What if the Khitan Emperor personally led a large army to the south from Dingzhou Road? The Yellow River is less than 800 miles south of Dingzhou. After crossing the Yellow River, you will get to Kaifeng Prefecture City.

By then, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed!

When Zhao Ji thought of the destruction of the country, he couldn't sleep anymore and suddenly sat up, "Go and prepare hot water and wait for me to change my clothes!"

"Official family..." Empress Dowager Liu frowned when she saw Zhao Ji's face full of worries and whispered, "Don't you sleep for a while?"

Sleep more? Why can you still sleep? Just close your eyes and see the scene of the Khitan army coming to the city! Fortunately, Zhao Ji has a strong body that is not as strong as the emperor of the Zhao family. If it were Zhezong and Shenzong, they might all fall ill now.

"Official family," Empress Dowager Liu looked at her brother-in-law in panic, "Why would you better let Gao Qiu take charge of Hebei military affairs."

Zhao Ji frowned. Empress Dowager Liu's words were interfering in the affairs of the court! He appointed his sister-in-law Empress Liu as the empress dowager just to please the young and beautiful sister-in-law (Empress Liu was only 22 years old at that time), not to let her interfere in the affairs of the court.

But this sister-in-law is always a little uneasy and always likes to point fingers at the government... But it seems like a good idea to transfer Gao Qiu to Hebei. Cai Jing also said this when Chongzheng Palace asked about it yesterday.

"I have my own sense of responsibility." Zhao Ji responded impatiently and asked Liu Youduan again, "Is there any news about Zhong Fu?"

Liu Youduan shook his head and replied in a low voice: "No."

"Did Wu Haogu and Tao Jiefu report it?"

"No." Liu Youduan glanced at Zhao Ji's face and said carefully, "Officials, if there is an emergency military situation, the Dujun Pilot will definitely report to the official family immediately. Maybe the good news will be in these two days..."

"It would be great if there was good news," Zhao Ji sighed lightly, raised his eyes again, "Take Zhang Shuye and Wang Bingxuan to Chongzheng Palace!"

Zhao Ji summoned Zhang Shuye late at night. Of course, Wang Bing was to discuss and adjust the arrangements of the front enemy. Xuan Shuai, who was Wu Haogu, seemed to be unable to fight. His Yuntai Jiyituan was also an exaggeration. It seemed that the Emperor of Song Dynasty had to be controlled remotely by himself.

...

"You, what did you say?"

"Your Majesty, I am guilty, I am defeated by the Sanggan River!"

"Then, what about Yanjing City? Who is the Yanjing City in his hands?"

"have no idea……"

While Zhao Ji was having a nightmare, Yelu Yanxi, who was far away in Dingzhou City, wanted to have a nightmare. Because Xiao Bao, who came in a mess at night, brought him a terrible news that the nightmare was still terrifying.

The 24,000 palace division army led by Xiao Baoxian (including 8,000 soldiers) was defeated by the Sanggan River, with a loss of more than 13,000! What's even more terrifying is that Xiao Baoxian didn't know whether the city of Xijin was still under the control of the Great Liao Kingdom...

"I don't know what it means?" Yelu Yanxi was almost gone.

If you lose it, you will lose it. If you don’t lose it, you will lose it. What does it mean to not know?

"Your Majesty," Xiao Baoxian said with a sad face, "I found that about 50,000 Song troops were bypassing Xiaojiabao and heading north, so I abandoned Wuqing County and Xiaojiabao to go to Yanjing, hoping to enter Yanjing before the Song people. Who knew that the Song people's cavalry robbed the first, and arrived between the Sanggan River and the Gaoliang River, and burned two of the three floating bridges. I sent troops to grab the last one. I thought at that time that Han cavalry was the best at charging, most of them were not good at hand-to-hand combat, and there were our troops in Yanjing City. If we could fight a night battle, we would cooperate with the soldiers and horses in Yanjing City and attack the Song army in the middle and outside, and attack the Song army, we might be able to win. As a result, I fought hard with the Song people outside the Yanjing City for a night, but no soldiers came out of Yanjing City..."

Could it be that Yanjing City was really lost? But the Yanjing City Wall is so tall and strong, how could it be lost?

Could it be that many traitors were found among the Han people in Yanjing City...

Yelu Yanxi felt cold when she thought of this, and she couldn't even say a word when she collapsed on the imperial throne.

Compared with the gains and losses of Yanjing City, his victory in Dingzhou is not worth mentioning at all!

Moreover, Yanjing City is almost the old home of the powerful Yan land. Most of the parents, wives and children of the eighth battalions of the Nanjing Dao Guards’ personal army also live in Yanjing City. If Yanjing returns to the Song Dynasty, it is hard to say whether the eighth battalions of the Nanjing Dao Guards’ personal army surname is Song or Liao!

If the powerful Yan land and the eight battalions of the guards rebelled, the rule of the Great Liao Kingdom in the states in Shannan would probably end.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there will be no loss in Yanjing City. Please rest assured!"

The horse man said at this time, looking confident. "Yelu Eliduo, deputy governor of Nanjing, is a long-time general. He has many warriors brought by the Anfu Army of Zhenzhou. He is skillful in archery and horses. He can gallop on the Bu Bu grassland for several days and nights without rest. If there is really a change in Yanjing, even if Yelu Eliduo cannot deal with it, he will send the news to His Majesty's imperial tent."

It seems to make some sense...

Yelu Yanxi frowned slightly, thinking about how to clean up the current end of the matter, the new recruit of the licence Yinsu Zhishi Yelu Yuji walked into the hall, bowed to Yelu Yanxi, and said, "Your Majesty, Yelu Eliduo, the deputy governor of Nanjing, sent a messenger!"

As he spoke, he handed a memorial to an eunuch beside Yelu Yanxi with both hands, and the eunuch handed over the memorial to the Emperor of the Great Liao.

The Yelu Yanxi Alliance launched the memorial, first glanced and swept it over at a glance, then vented it, and then read it word by word, and finally threw the memorial on the imperial desk with a snap.
