"Shishou! Let's move the Wenhai Road Maritime Control Department as soon as possible and ask them to retreat from the territory of the Jiaozhi people!"

"The Jiaozhi people bully others too much. Shuaisi, we can't show weakness, so we'd better fight!"

"This incident was all caused by the Hailu Supervisor, but it was so exhausted that the people of our Guangnan Road suffered tragic disaster. The Supervisor should submit a report to impeach Ji Yizhi!"

"Impulse is naturally impeachment, but we don't let the Jiaozhi soldiers rag in Yongzhou! If we continue like this, it will be another Xining battle!"

"What can I do if Jiaozhi can't help but go wild in Yongzhou? How many imperial guards are there in the 25 states of Guangnan? There are only one and a half generals. There is another general in Guizhou with the same equipment as the imperial brigade. In addition, there are two commanding cavalry... Even if there is no shortage, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers to fight. What should I do to fight the 100,000 troops of the Jiaozhi people?"

"How can there be more than 10,000? The amount is more than 50%, and there are many old and weak. I'm afraid there is not even 2,000 soldiers who can fight..."

"Are there still 3,000 new troops that have just arrived in Qinzhou?"

"What's the point of 3,000? Shuai Si, this battle is not to be fought!"

Guangxi, Guizhou, Guangnan West Road Pacifier Office was filled with chaotic voices from the officers and staff. The noise caused Zhou Xiao's brain to hurt.

This Zhou Shi was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Xining in the Shenzong. He has been in office for almost forty years. He cannot be said to be successful, but he cannot be said to be wasted in the officialdom. He can also be considered a step-by-step success. He has been a coach. He thought he could have been in a few more years and asked Gongguan to retire. Unexpectedly, he encountered the invasion of Jiaozhi Kingdom in the position of Shuaisi on Guangnan West Road!

And this invasion of Jiaozhi Kingdom is really unfair!

The people of Jiaozhi had never thought of invading, and the border between Song and Jiaotong has been stable for decades. But who knew that the special sea route market control department in the Song Dynasty, which was specially chaotic, actually launched a border provocation and went to Jiaozhi to grab grain...

This kind of thing should not have been done by such a ritual country like the Song Dynasty!

The Jiaozhi Kingdom was reasonable, so he did not immediately raise an army to invade the territory, but instead sent a delegation to Kaifeng Prefecture to complain, and they all cried in the Qionglin Palace.

Zhou Daqingtian and Guangnan West Road Transportation Commander Zhong Yizhong Longtu also submitted a memorial to speak for Jiaozhi Kingdom and impeach Hailu Supervisor Ji Yi.

But no one expected that the court would be unreasonable in the end. Not only did it not punish Ji Yi, but also ordered Su Shi, a subordinate of Ji Yi, to investigate whether there were any unjust officials in Jiaozhi State!

Su Che's son was not so good, and he brought dozens of military ships into Anbangkou, Jiaozhi Kingdom!

This finally made Jiaozhi King Li Qiande attacked and all the soldiers and horses in the country came to fight.

The military preparations of the Song Dynasty on Guangnan West Road were extremely weak! After all, the last war with Jiaozhi Kingdom was in the eighth and nineth year of Xining nearly forty years ago.

After 40 years of peace, the Song army on Guangnan West Road has long been ruined. I wonder if there are 2,000 people in the 25 states that can fight?

This little force, let alone the 100,000 troops of the Jiaozhi people, is hard to say whether the Yongzhou Prefecture City can be saved!

The sound below was still chaotic, and there was a tendency to be louder and louder. Zhou Xiao's forehead veins leaped straight, and finally he suddenly shouted: "Enough!"

The loud voice shocked the military officers in the room. This hero who sang the name outside Donghua Gate has been in the officialdom for almost forty years. He has been graceful and unstoppable. Why is he so angry now?

Zhou Shi pressed his forehead and turned his eyes to his confidant Jiyi, Tang Xiaoyao, who was born in Qingcheng Academy. It was Tang Xiaoyao, a talented man from the Tang Sect in Shu. After the "discussion on Taoism" at the end of the fifth year of Jianzhong Jingguo, he participated in the Ministry of Rites Competition this year and was once again defeated.

Tang Xiaoyao, who was unwilling to become a business community and opened a small restaurant, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet after failing the exam, went to Qingcheng Academy, was admitted to the School of Mathematics, studied mathematics with Li Qingzhao, and later studied mathematics and became a new talent in mathematics practice.

After graduation, he was chosen as a Jiyi by Zhou Zheng, who was about to become an official in Yangzhou. Now he has been promoted to Guan Gou Jiyi's writings of Guangnan West Road Shuaisi, and has also obtained the official status he has always dreamed of!

Moreover, Zhou Shi trusted him very much. Shuai Si threw all the mundane affairs to him to deal with, while he traveled all day long to cultivate his temperament - Shuai Si, a civil servant in the Song Dynasty who was in his sixties and almost seventy, would be too abnormal to be busy with official duties all day long. Playing every day is the right attitude...

Seeing the look of the benefactor, Tang Xiaoyao shook his head gently: "Shuai Si, I can't beat you..."

Zhou Xu whispered: "But now Yongzhou is in urgent need..."

Tang Xiaoyao said: "The fall of Yongzhou cannot ruin the overall situation of Guangnan. Guizhou is the real important thing. Moreover, you are the commander of Guizhou and have the responsibility to defend the territory!"

This is the point!

The ministers who defend the territory cannot give up their duties easily! Now Zhou Feng has 2,000 troops who can fight in his hands, so it is impossible to defeat Li Qiande's 100,000 troops. Therefore, it is not afraid to lose some prefectures and counties, but the old nest of Guizhou cannot be lost! Otherwise, he would abandon the city and escape for life and ruin his reputation for committing suicide and dying for his country...

Zhou Xu's voice was low and unheard: "But there are only 2,000 people, how can we defend Guizhou?"

"More than 2,000...there are 3,000 new troops in Qinzhou!" Tang Xiaoyao said, "and the Quanfa, who led the troops, Zhang Yongxi, was still raising troops at a high price these days, and there may be tens of thousands of people on hand."

Zhou Xiao just shook his head: "Why is Zhang Yongxi willing to bring troops here? He is not my subordinate."

"Shishuai," said Tang Xiaoyao, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't come. You can let the people of Jiaozhi go to Qinzhou!"

"Let the people of Jiaozhi go to Qinzhou?" Zhou Shi stared at his eyes.

Tang Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Yes, Qinzhou is much closer to Jiaozhi Kingdom than Guizhou. We can release news, saying that the 30,000 heavenly soldiers from the court have arrived in Qinzhou. We have to invade the Shenglong Mansion of Jiaozhi Kingdom by sea at any time. Li Qiande will definitely worry that Shenglong will be in trouble. He either withdrew his troops or lead his troops to Qinzhou. Isn't our Guizhou safe?"

It seems that this is the case... Now the sea control power is completely controlled by the Song Dynasty's Hailu Maritime Control Department. Therefore, the Song army did not have to care about what Li Qiande did in Yongzhou, just attack Shenglong Mansion.

As long as he takes over Shenglong Mansion, will Li Qiande still be the emperor in Yongzhou?

Zhou Xu exhaled: "That's it! This is what happened to the new party, so they should clean up the mess by themselves."

During the Yuanyou period, Zhou Xiao once submitted a memorial to invite Wang Anshi to enjoy the Shenzong, which is a new party that cannot be renewed!

But now, even the standards of new and old have changed. The new party in the past has become an old party, and the old party in the past may be the new party in the present... However, it is normal for such role switching to occur, because the main line of Shenzong's new policy is to enrich the country and strengthen the army, from wealth to strong. To enrich the country, we naturally have to use officials from the south to suppress the wealthy families in the north. Therefore, the old party in the past was mostly northerners, and the new party was mostly southerners.

The current "Daozong New Policy" is to strengthen soldiers, directly starting from educating officers, recruiting heroes, and raising elite soldiers with land. It also took various routes of house slave soldiers, government soldiers, regiment training and contracting soldiers.

Of course, most of the people who do business and benefit from this action are northerners, while most of the people who eat in the business are northerners. Many bureaucratic and noble families of the old and the other sects have become famous, so the new and old parties have almost changed seats.

Among the senior officials, only Ji Yi and Zhang Yuan have always been very new parties.

Zhang Xiaochun, who has become famous in history for marrying his wife and marrying his sister-in-law (he married three daughters from a wealthy family surnamed Ji), is from the northern family and is also a celebrity in the new party today.

He was actually not from a high school and had nothing to do with the new and old parties. However, in the sixth year of the founding of the Jingguo of Zhongzhong, he was transferred to the Infantry Academy to serve as a doctorate in Confucianism (teacher). Later, he studied mathology at the Qingcheng Academy, and then returned to the Infantry Academy to serve as a doctorate in mathematics and academic director. He was transferred to the Dujun Mail Office in charge of military academic studies. Finally, after the Dujun Mail Office was demoted to the military computer room of the Privy Council, he became the head of the military computer room.

This series of experiences in office were related to training the new army, so it was naturally labeled as a "new party" and was regarded as a confidant by Su Chi and Zhang Shuye. This time he even gave him a chance to go south to make contributions!

But he never expected that Jiaozhi Kingdom was quite fierce. Before Zhang Xiaochun and Yang Kebi completed recruitment and training, he suddenly bypassed Yongzhou City, which was blocked and guarded by the city, passed from the north of the mountain range known as the 100,000 mountains, and rushed straight to Qinzhou Prefecture.

"It's coming in a fierce manner! Brother Yongxi, what should I do?" The person who was so anxious was Zhang Kejian, the magistrate of Qinzhou. He was the cousin of Zhang Kegong and Zhang Shuye, and was a Jinshi who passed the same degree as Wu Haowen. Because of Zhang Shuye and Zhang Kegong, he was also a member of the new party. This time he went to Qinzhou with Zhang Xiaochun.

It was originally an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but who would have thought that the Jiaozhi Kingdom had invaded not long after arriving in Qinzhou. It is said that a hundred thousand troops were coming in full swing!

"What should I do?" Zhang Xiaochun was also out of his mind.

This time he headed south from the sea and brought a total of 3,000 soldiers, including nearly 600 officers, who can serve as platoon leader and 2,400 veterans of the leader.

Ji Yi allocated another 5 million yuan as funds for recruitment, and planned to raise 23,000 strong men in the mountainous areas of Guangnan West Road.

In addition, there were a large number of weapons and a team of warships heading south together, and now they were staying at Fangcheng Port under Qinzhou.

Yang Kebi, the general manager of the military and horse, said: "Shi Shi, we can abandon the city and leave!"

"What!?" Zhang Kejian jumped up after hearing this, "Abandoned the city? How can this work?"

Yang Kebi said: "Qinzhou City is small and broken, and there is no need to stick to it. It can move the city and the surrounding people to the Fangcheng a hundred miles away. There are many strong men among the people who can be brought to serve as soldiers to protect their families. It is not difficult to find tens of thousands of people.

Fangcheng has three peninsulas that extend into the sea. The entrance is narrow and easy to blockade, and our warships are also available on the sea. As long as you retreat into it and hold on, Jiaozhi thieves will not be able to do anything even if they have 100,000.

We are waiting and we are training troops in Fangcheng, waiting for the opportunity. When the thieves and all the food is exhausted, our troops will be successful. We can advance by sea and attack Shenglong directly, and Jiaozhi can be destroyed. Jiaozhi will be destroyed, Qinzhou and Yongzhou can naturally be restored."
