Chapter 755

"General Zhe is indeed very knowledgeable, good. This is a map of Northern Liao drawn by my official." Wang Yang nodded.

Gao Shize looked at the map and Wang Yang in pain. In the end, he couldn't hold back his words and decided to remind Wang Yang, the buddy.

"...Mr. Wang, it seems that our place only borders the Xixia, and the one borders the Liao Kingdom is Hedong Road instead of our Shaanxi Road."

"I naturally know this. The one bordering us is Xixia, so you don't have to worry. I got a batch of information a few days ago, and this information happened to be closely related to the Northern Liao Dynasty."

It has something to do with Northern Liao... Is it interesting to say this? Lord Wang, haven’t you heard Lord Gao say that Hedong Road is bordered by Northern Liao?

The officials present looked at Wang Yang with a helpless and speechless expression. Well, you know, we really think you don’t know.

Wang Yang ignored the extremely painful expressions of the civil and military people in the room, but took a long stick handed over by Wu Qilang and pointed to Tokyo in Northern Liao.

"This is Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom, that is, Liaoyang Prefecture... You may not be clear. The northern border of the Liao Kingdom, including this large area northeast of the Liaoyang Prefecture, has been lived in many tribes that call themselves the female master for generations."

"Now, these female tribes are growing stronger and stronger, and they often attack each other, and often do not obey the commands of the Liao Kingdom..."

Wang Yang then used a bowl to show the direction of the advance of the northern armies of the Liao Kingdom and the movements of the Liao Kingdom cavalry coming out from the capital on the map spread over the ground.

Everyone's originally confused expression gradually became solemn as Wang Yang said. It seemed that everyone realized that Wang Yang's analysis was very reasonable.

"...I didn't dare to say it before, and it was hard to say it out. The reason was that it was myself, because I was very worried that no one would believe it after I spoke out my guesses and concerns."

"But, during the time we were staying in Hongzhou, the intelligence center received a batch of latest information. The tribal soldiers of the Liao Kingdom did not go straight south after arriving at the Dading Prefecture of Zhongjing, Liao Kingdom, but continued to move westward. The latest information shows that my Song Dynasty works were in the Niushan Pavilion more than a hundred miles east of Bei'anzhou. I saw countless soldiers and horses different from the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, passing through the Niushan Pavilion..."

"In theory, if the Liao Kingdom wanted to attack the Hedong Road of our Song Dynasty, even if they wanted to use these northern tribes, they would not need to cross the dangerous Bei'anzhou, but should go straight south through Zhongjing, through Yuzhou and Tanzhou, and directly to Laizhou near the sea..."

"Mr. Wang, what you mean is that this army seems to be intentionally trying to avoid the Yanyun land at the border with my Song Dynasty and continue traveling west..."

"But what is their purpose? Could it be us? But this is too unreasonable. After all, our location is west of Hedong Road."

"Maybe it is possible that the Liao Kingdom wanted to take advantage of the severe damage to the Western Xia's strength and wanted to swallow it in one fell swoop."

Wang Yang smiled. "You are right, there is such a possibility, but the question is who can guarantee that the tens of thousands of tribal soldiers and the tens of thousands of Liao cavalry who went south of Beijing were just for the Western Xia, not for us?"

As soon as Wang Yang said this, everyone shut up. Yes, the biggest problem is this. Who can guess the Liao Kingdom’s actions?

But a large army of such a large scale must not be ignored. It would be fine if we went to find trouble in Xixia. Maybe the Song Dynasty could still wave the flag and shout and take advantage of Xixia by the way. But what if we came from the Song Dynasty and these three states?

Before, both the government and the country had clearly felt that the Western Xia should now be unable to invade the northwestern border of the Song Dynasty. Because of its domestic political situation and the northern border troubles, it was impossible for the Liao Kingdom to have a large-scale conflict with the Song Dynasty when the Song Dynasty was in a steep state.

Moreover, even if there is a large-scale conflict, it will be concentrated in Hedong Road, Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road. Therefore, the veteran driver Han Zhongyan was specially dispatched and specially dispatched troops to increase the strength of the troops in these three routes.

Therefore, except for the 10,000 wings and 10,000 imperial guards, the rest of the imperial guards who had originally stayed there, were all retreated to Tokyo Bianliang.

Nowadays, the military strength of Shaanxi Road is almost the same as before the Battle of Suide City in Xixia. However, the military strength of Shaanxi Road has been enhanced to a certain extent due to large-scale dress-up and increased cavalry strength. However, if it is really an attack by the Liao Kingdom Xing army.

It is very likely that these three states will be caught off guard, and it may even give up the three states that have already belonged to the Song Dynasty.

Such an ending is the least unwilling to see whether it is the court or the officials who have decided to take root in these three states to do something.

"Sir, can these information be confirmed? Could it be that those meticulous things were wrong? The relationship between the Liao Kingdom and the tribes on the northern border has always been not harmonious. What's more, if the Liao Kingdom attacks us, the other side of Hedong Road, or deals with Xixia, it is not so weak that it needs to borrow troops from those northern tribes, right?"

"You must not know yet. All of this information comes from the Imperial City Department of the Court..."

"Imperial City Department?!!" All the civil and military officials present were shocked, and their eyes fell on Wang Yang in a daze, with their expression as if they had seen a ghost.

Damn it, it is actually the Imperial City Department that is afraid of people and worried about ghosts. The problem is what the Imperial City Department does, and it actually starts to do intelligence work outside the Song Dynasty. Isn’t that too unscientific?

"Is it because of the information collected from an official's mansion by the Imperial City Office?" Zhe Keshi took it for granted that it should have been found by the spy agency of the Song Dynasty after arresting an official who committed the crime.

Wang Yang raised his hand and tapped his forehead. "Wang forgot to tell you that a few days ago, Your Majesty had decided to cancel the intelligence agencies under the Ministry of War and merge them to the Imperial City Department.

All information will be reviewed and archived by the Imperial City Department. All information belonging to the Great Song Dynasty and involving the Liao Kingdom will be copied and handed over to the northern office of the Privy Council for disposal."

"When Wang had made a request to His Majesty before, that is, if any information involved in the Song Dynasty is involved, I will give me a copy of the three states..."

After hearing Wang Yang's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhe Keshi smashed his mouth and looked at Wang Yang with admiration.

Why do I always feel that the information collection work of the Song Dynasty belongs to the Imperial City Department? I am afraid that it is inseparable from the King of Kings in front of me.
