Seven or eight knights galloped on their horses in the dark night. The wind whistled in their ears, and the horse's hooves hit the ground, stirring up rolling yellow dust.

The knight immediately wore a soapy public uniform and gave the head man a message tube wrapped in red satin on the back. The satin had five large characters, "Golden-font quick-foot order". The few followers behind were shaking bells in their hands, "Dingdang! Dingdang!" The crisp ringtone was spread particularly far on the official road.

Soon, the sending team of Jinzijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijijiji

Jinzi Kuaishou Express has the privilege of entering the city at night, but their reasons are confused. The soldiers on the city asked: "What military information does Suzhou have?"

"It's not Suzhou, but Suzhou received a letter from the northwest orange military pigeon. It was impossible to forward the letter at night, so we could only come and deliver the letter urgently."

The orange military intelligence is the highest level of military intelligence, and it cannot be delayed for a moment. The city gate is opened slowly and the suspension bridge is lowered. Several express delivery men rushed to run into Lin'an City, shaking the bell, "Dingdang! Dingdang!" and rushed towards the south palace.

Before dawn, all civil and military officials rode ox carts and sedan chairs, rode horses to Lin'an Palace from all directions to attend the morning court. Emperor Zhao Gou was a relatively diligent emperor who insisted on the morning court system, regardless of wind and rain. However, the recent morning court made the ministers feel a little heavy. The war in the Central Plains and Shandong made everyone tense, for fear that they would hear the news that a certain army would be wiped out and the county would fall when they came to the palace early in the morning.

The right prime minister Fan Zhixu entered the palace gate as usual at the Mao hour, but he found that the atmosphere seemed a little wrong today. The ministers in groups of three or three in the Daqing Palace Square gathered together and said something, their words and expressions were quite excited.

"Censor Pan, what happened?" Fan Zhixu asked Pan Liang, the closest censor, who was at the Censor Pan Liang.

Pan Liang hurried forward to salute, "Report to my grandfather, there is news that the Song army has captured Taiyuan Prefecture. I wonder if it is true or false?"

"How is it possible? Where can the army fly to Taiyuan?"

Fan Zhixu had just finished speaking, but suddenly realized that it could be Li Yanqing's Jingzhao Army?

He asked again quickly: "Where did this news come from?"

Pan Liang shook his head, "The officials don't know, they just heard people say this."

At this time, the low bell sound came from the front of Daqing Palace, "Dong!" was the call-up bell ringing.

All the officials walked towards the jade steps, and saw Zhu Yun, the young supervisor in the hall, whispering loudly: "Your Majesty's oral order, today the grand dynasty will be cancelled and changed to a small dynasty. Please go from third-rank officials to the Chuigong Hall to participate in the court meeting."

There was a lot of discussion in the square. The cancellation of the dynasty must have been a major event or an emergency military situation. Could it be that the Song army really captured Taiyuan Prefecture?

All the officials refused to disperse and were still standing in the square waiting for news. At this time, Gao Shen came out and smiled at all the officials, "Everyone should go back to their respective courts to do things!"

Someone asked loudly: "Glory Gao, is the rumors true? The Song army seized Taiyuan Prefecture?"

Gao Shen smiled slightly, "I can tell you that the rumors are true, it was the news I got last night. Li Dutong of the Jingzhao Army led his army to capture Taiyuan Prefecture three days ago."

The square suddenly felt jubilant. Some officials hugged each other with excitement, while others clenched their fists and waved their arms, cheering loudly.

Fan Zhixu was ecstatic. This was what Li Yanqing said before. He would restrain the Jin soldiers from the rear, so that the Jin soldiers could not go south to the Huai River. As expected, he succeeded. Capturing Taiyuan would indeed greatly restrain the pace of the Jin soldiers going south.

However, Fan Zhixu was also a little confused. Didn’t Li Yanqing fight fiercely with Wanyan Loushi’s army on Shaanxi Road? He could annihilate the tens of thousands of Jin soldiers who invaded Shaanxi so quickly?

Fan Zhixu wanted to know the details, so he turned his head and walked towards the Chuigong Hall.

The Chuigong Hall is where officials handle government affairs and summon all ministers on weekdays. It is also called Changchao Hall. It is located south of Ningfu Hall, the second main hall of Lin'an Palace. It is a small palace. Compared with the empty main hall, it looks smaller and warm. The second half is the imperial study room, and the first half is the meeting hall where the small court meeting is held.

More than 20 important officials from third rank and above came to the hall and found their respective seats to sit down. Fan Zhixu asked Gao Shen next to him, "What's the specific situation?"

Gao Shen smiled bitterly and said, "Although I was on duty last night, I only received a pigeon letter from Pingjiang Mansion. The content of the letter was relatively simple, which means that Li Taibao led 30,000 troops to capture Taiyuan City."

"What about the Jin soldiers on Shaanxi Road? Have you mentioned it?" Fan Zhixu asked anxiously again.

"It's vague, it's just that it's trapped in Fuzhou."

"Wait! Where are you trapped?" Fan Zhixu suddenly heard the clue.

"Qizhou!" Gao Shen said affirmatively.

Fan Zhixu had served as the Strategic Envoy of Shaanxi 6th Road before and stayed on Shaanxi Road for a year. He knew very well about the situation of Shaanxi Road. Isn’t Fuzhou the location of Luoshui Grand Canyon? Is it

At this time, a guard shouted, "Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone stood up one after another, and saw the Emperor Zhao Gou walking out of the imperial study room with brisk steps, waved his hand and smiled at everyone, "Let you all wait for a long time!"

Zhao Gou sat down and smiled and said, "Today is the most comfortable day in half a month. I believe everyone knows why."

Everyone laughed, "Great news, congratulations to Your Majesty."

Zhao Gou nodded and sighed softly, "It's a pity that it's a pigeon letter, with only a few dozen words, and many details cannot be understood. I especially want to know what the situation of the Jin soldiers attacking Shaanxi Road? I can't let it go!"

Fan Zhixu smiled slightly and said, "I can relieve your worries!"

"Mr. Fan knows?"

"Weichen was once the Strategic Envoy of Shaanxi Sixth Road and is familiar with the situation of Shaanxi Road. We can analyze it, but we need a map of Shaanxi Road."

"I have it in my study!"

Zhao Gou hurriedly ordered the two eunuchs, "Go and get it!"

The two eunuchs ran away and carried them together with the wooden shelf and the map for a moment. Fan Zhixu asked the eunuchs to put the wooden shelf in the middle of the hall, facing the emperor Zhao Gou. The ministers surrounded him and looked at them from both sides.

Fan Zhixu pointed to the map with a wooden pole and smiled: "Northern Shaanxi is a loess mountainous area with ravines, broken surfaces and numerous mountains. It is difficult to enter Guanzhong from northern Shaanxi. Since ancient times, there have been only two roads. One is the Maling River to the west-Jingshui Valley Road. The Hu cavalry from the north basically took this road when they entered Guanzhong. The other is the Luoshui Valley Road, which also enters Guanzhong through Luoshui Valley. However, the valley bottom of this road is difficult to walk. The Qin Emperor built the Qin straight road at the mountainside, which can be used so far. From Yan'an Prefecture, you can go south to Guanzhong. First of all, you understand these two roads, and the analysis below is crucial."

Fan Zhixu asked Zhao Gou again: "Your Majesty, is there a saying in the Ge letter that the Jin soldiers were trapped in Fuzhou?"

Zhao Gou nodded, "This is indeed the case!"

"This is the key. Where is Fuzhou? Please see, it is the Luoshui Road to the east. If the Jin soldiers can be trapped, there is only one possibility. The Jin soldiers are trapped on the Qin straight road."

"Even if you are trapped in the straight road, can't you break through?" Lu Yihao asked in confusion.

"The Zuo Prime Minister asked very correctly. Could it be that the Song army built fortifications at both ends of the straight road that prevented the Jin soldiers from breaking through? If this is the case, then Li Yanqing would not dare to attack Taiyuan. After all, as long as the Jin soldiers fought desperately, there was still a possibility of breaking through. So I guess it must be another situation where the Jin soldiers could not break through."

Zhao Gou couldn't help asking, "What's the situation?"

"Your Majesty, what I said is that the road is blocked by heavy snow."

"Ah!" The ministers around exclaimed.

Fan Zhixu smiled faintly and continued: "There is a saying in Yan'an Prefecture, "Snow in Guanzhong, be careful to send your life," which means that when the road is blocked with heavy snow on the straight road, you will be in a dilemma, especially when encountering an avalanche, which is basically a life-and-death life. So Gexin said that the Jin soldiers were trapped in Fuzhou, and Weichen inferred that the Jin soldiers must have blocked the road in heavy snow, or even when encountering an avalanche, and they will be completely trapped."

"Can the Jin soldiers escape?" Zhao Gou asked again.

Fan Zhixu shook his head, "If you really encounter an avalanche, it will definitely be impossible to escape. Whether you can live until next spring is all up to God's will."

Only then did everyone understand the mystery. While excited, everyone was thinking about how to deal with the next step?

Zhao Gou walked a few steps on the steps and said to everyone: "I hope Li Taibao can always defend Taiyuan. I don't know how we should assist the Jingzhao Army. Let's talk about it!"

Cao Yan, the governor of Lin'an, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the battle between us and the Jin Kingdom is actually about national strength. Whether the Jingzhao army can persist depends on whether there is sufficient money, grain, material and military sources to support it. Weichen believes that the Jingzhao army can solve it. The key is money, grain, and material. Weichen suggests adjusting Li Taibao's power, implementing the integration of Sichuan and Shaanxi as soon as possible, and using materials, materials, money, and grain from Bashu to support Shaanxi Road to fight against the Jin."

Gao Shen also said: "The suggestion of Cao's official is very correct. When Li Taibao was appointed as the Strategic Envoy of the Three Northwest Roads, he mainly considered responding to the Western Xia crisis. Now the Western Xia crisis has been resolved, and Li Taibao has also changed from confronting the Western Xia to confronting the Jin Kingdom. It is indeed necessary to implement the integration of Sichuan and Shaanxi."

"What about Xianggong Fan's opinion?" Zhao Gou asked Fan Zhixu again.

Fan Zhixu nodded, "Weichen thinks it is feasible!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yihao and Zheng Wangzhi also expressed their agreement. In addition to the new prime minister Zhu Shengfei going to Jingxiang for inspection, while another new prime minister, Fan Zongyin, said that he needed to discuss it again, four of the six prime ministers had expressed their agreement, which meant that Zhizhengtang had passed the plan.

Zhao Gou then issued an order: "Since this is the case, Li Yanqing's position as the governor of the three northwest routes will be removed from the position of governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and also served as the governor of Hedong Road. Liu Wei was appointed as the governor of Xihe Road, and Zhang Su, the Qinfeng Road Transport Commissioner, was promoted to the governor of Qinfeng Road."

Zhao Gou immediately issued a second decree, transporting the money and grain of the treasury of Sichuan and the two prefectures to Guanzhong to support the Shaanxi Jingzhao Army's great cause to fight against the Jin Dynasty.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Jin soldiers from breaking through the Huaihe River defense line and regaining the Central Plains and Shandong, Zhao Gou also appointed Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Wang Yan, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong as commanders, and each led elite troops to fight against the Jin in the Huaihe River and the Central Plains.

In order to solve the problem of insufficient troops, Zhao Gou issued a self-recruitment order, allowing all anti-Jin generals to recruit troops on their own, and the number of troops recruited was filed with the Ministry of War for filing, and the Privy Council was uniformly supervised.
