Chapter 773

Liu Zhi finally stood up and walked to the stairs and fell to the ground. He said that as the prime minister, he had great responsibility for making mistakes in such major military affairs.

Soon, the heads of the Privy Council, the Ministry of War and other military institutions all rushed out and admitted their mistakes to Emperor Zhao Xu.

At this time, some people naturally jumped out and said with a righteous attitude that the main responsibility was to Liu Zhi and other old party leaders. The emperor should make a quick decision to dismiss all the officials who were seriously dereliction of duty.

Leave it to us, the outstanding and conscientious new party members, and we will preside over the court, and we will definitely do better and better than these guys.

Looking at the important officials kneeling down at the stairs, as well as the officials who were jumping up and down, Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling tired. Fortunately, Ma Shang's eyes shook the whisk in his hand a few times and stopped the smug guys.

Zhao Xu glared at the new party officials who had just spoken loudly and took advantage of the situation and cleared their throats and said in a deep voice. "At this point, now is not the time to hold the responsibility, but how to resolve the crisis in front of you."

Liu Zhi's face turned gloomy and crossed Liebang again and said, "The old minister thought that he should ask Mr. Han to mobilize a large army on Hedong Road and advance north to warn Liao. He also ordered Su Xiang to lead his army to assist the three states, and to send a large army to aid..."

"In addition, envoys need to be sent to blame the Liao Kingdom, why should we defeat the alliance and attack each other?"

Soon, a group of sluggish ministers offered suggestions and made unrestrained remarks, saying that they would blame Xixia and Liao for their righteousness, while the Song Dynasty should be prepared quickly. Not only the three states, but even the places would be at risk of being attacked by Liao.

Since this is the case, then Tokyo Bianliang should have accumulated more troops to guard against the Liao Kingdom's massive move south. Some officials who even had a lot of imagination simply asked Zhao Xu for an order, hoping to mobilize troops from the south to go north to compete with the Liao and Xia teams.

"The grandson has met the emperor's grandmother..." It was not until noon that Zhao Xu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, announced that he would retire from the court. Zhao Xu, who was not half appetite at this moment, wanted to go to find the queen, but heard that the pregnant queen Meng was in the place where the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, so he simply walked over.

"Get up quickly, you are so tired from this, I guess you are tired today." Gao Taotao quickly came forward to support Zhao Xu, who was bowing, and patted Zhao Xu's back with heartache.

Sitting on one side, the empress Meng, who was already showing her wits, became more and more round and jade, also stood up, and her pair of charming bright eyes fell on Zhao Xu with concern.

After Zhao Xu sat down, Gao Taotao listened quietly to Zhao Xu's urgent reports he received today, as well as comments on the reactions of the civil and military officials of the court, and complaints.

After hearing this, Gao Taotao frowned slightly, and said with a little worried. "It seems that Wang Wushan was indeed wrong. However, the Liao Kingdom's actions were so big that it was indeed beyond the expectations of the Ai family..."

"The Liao Kingdom has a 300,000 army. Even if the Xixia loses its troops and generals, with the Liao Kingdom as its support, it will not be difficult to find any difficulties. However, Wang Wushan has to distribute 50,000 troops in the three states to resist nearly ten times the enemy..."

"There are some military tactics. If you want to surround it, if you want to attack it, if you want to fight it... Before, Wang Wushan told me in detail about his arrangements in the three states, which was to station heavy troops in Youzhou, using it as a fulcrum to block the main force of Liaoxia's advance south.

On the west side are Baishi City and Xinyanzhou to resist the enemy from Xingqing Prefecture, and on the east side are Wuyan Ancient City and Hongzhou to resist the enemy from the east.”

"I also think his idea is excellent, but now the Liao and Xia coalition forces are so powerful that it is difficult to block them by relying on Youzhou alone." Zhao Xu patted his thighs with some angrily. "Those court officials, one or two, were either busy shirking responsibility, or were panicked, and there were even people who wanted to help the kings on the side to truly understand military affairs. There were not many Ming military players..."

"Since the Liao army arrived in Xiazhou two days ago, I am afraid that the army has now arrived in Youzhou. The officials should consider how to deal with it. As for those court officials, most of them are civil officials and are not familiar with military affairs. In addition, our Song Dynasty has not been in war for a long time, it is normal for them to panic for a moment." However, Gao Taotao, the old driver, seemed very calm.

"There is Master Su on the other side of Shaanxi Road, and the three states also belong to Shaanxi Road. The officials granted him the right to act cheaply. I think as long as Master Su, he can handle it properly."

"But there are too many invading troops. It is really hard to deal with the Shaanxi Road alone. Although I have issued an edict and sent 50,000 imperial guards to Shaanxi Road to reinforce, the journey is long, and I don't know if I can hurry up. In addition, Han Zhongqiu should oppress Yinxia prefectures on the side of Hedong Road..."

After discussing with Gao Taotao, Zhao Xu's depression finally faded away, his mood finally relieved a lot, and his thinking gradually became clearer. "Thank you, my grandmother, for helping me, my grandson's mood finally got much better."

"That's right, Wang Wushan had already sent a letter to express his speculation about the whereabouts of the Liao army, and he has been secretly making various preparations for this matter."

"Even if the Liao army's strength was somewhat unexpected, my grandson also felt that with Wang Wushan's ability, he could definitely defend Youzhou."

"The Ai family also thinks so." Gao Taotao nodded deeply. "And before, the official family, didn't you send another batch of weapons to Wang Wushan? By the time of day, it should be here."

"If you can get this batch of weapons in time, I think it's better to have the possibility of Youzhou defending it." Zhao Xu rubbed his hands and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, not knowing whether the weapons had been delivered to Wang Wushan's hands.

"What?!" Wang Yang jumped up from behind the desk and rushed to Wu Qilang who had just entered the door and shouted, "A large number of weapons?!"

"Yes, two thousand sets of Yuanyou armor, five thousand Yuanyou crossbows, ten thousand soft steel crossbow arms, and dozens of cars of firearms." Wu Qilang was startled by Wang Yang's actions, and quickly repeated it quickly and quickly.

"Hurry, hurry up and prepare the horse, I'll go and see it myself." Wang Yang lifted up his front and rushed outside quickly.

When he rode his horse to approach the south gate of Youzhou, he saw a team of dusty imperial guards in the Song Dynasty guarding the chariots slowly sailing into the south gate.

After seeing Wang Yang, the general led his horse rode his horse towards Wang Yang. "The last general Xu Zhao will escort the military equipment according to His Majesty's order..."

"Oh, I'm still an acquaintance, hahaha, Xu Zhuangyuan, oh no, I should be called General Xu." Wang Yang couldn't help but be overjoyed, with a passionate smile on his face and politely said.
