Chapter 710: Sending Troops to Zhuozhou

Zhao Zongquan was so happy when he saw that his husbands had reached a consensus. He felt that he had room to realize his ambitions.

"Haha, good, good, I am finally relieved that you gentlemen can have such thoughts."

"Duke Ying, this time we in the Song Dynasty are united in our determination to defeat the Liao Kingdom and boost the courage of our people."

The Duke of England felt helpless when he saw Zhao Zongquan's high-spirited appearance.

But there were some things he had to say. After all, from ancient times to the present, war was no trivial matter and must not be treated lightly.

"Your Majesty, the strength of the Liao Kingdom cannot be underestimated. We must not underestimate it."

"Well, what the Duke of England said makes sense. I have learned a lot."

When Zhao Zongquan heard what the Duke of England said, he realized that he had been a little rash just now. He restrained his expression and spoke seriously.

The men also calmed down. Since the war had to be fought, they had to win. Otherwise, everything they had done before would be in vain.

Everyone began to discuss the situation of the battle in Zhuozhou. Everyone present knew that the food and fodder had to be sent before the three armies moved.

Several men calculated the food and fodder needed for the expedition, and they secretly felt more confident.

Zhao Zongquan was very happy to hear that all the ministers were united, and he joined the discussion with Prince Huan Zhao Yingce.

Several people chatted until the evening. Zhao Zongquan prepared dinner in the palace. After everyone finished eating, they left the palace.

Gu Tingyu did not say much. After all, his qualifications were still insufficient, and he had no obvious battle record. In this kind of war, Gu Tingyu was just a vanguard officer, or the commander of a large army.

This is also what was confirmed in the Imperial Study today.

After returning home, several military attachés started to prepare and were very excited.

When Prime Minister Han returned to his residence, many ministers rushed over.

"Prince Han, did you persuade His Majesty to negotiate peace this time? This war cannot be fought."

"Yes, yes, war is a waste of money and manpower, but we cannot fight."

"Okay, stop talking for now. I've called a few husbands over, and we'll talk about it together then."

Mr. Han felt overwhelmed when he saw the messy group of people surrounding him.

At this moment he also understood Zhao Zongquan's feelings.

After hearing what Prime Minister Han said, the ministers who had come over stopped talking and sat down quietly to wait.

Half an hour later, all the husbands arrived.

"Okay, everyone is here. His Majesty has made the decision on this matter. The army will set out tomorrow."

"Ah, Mr. Han, this won't do, this..."

As soon as Han Xianggong finished speaking, the faces of many ministers changed, and they stood up and spoke anxiously.

However, he was immediately stopped by Han Xianggong.

"Don't worry, listen to me."

"This matter has to happen because of today..."

Minister Han told the ministers everything that happened in the imperial study today, and the ministers who had come over also calmed down.

"Everyone participated in the money shortage. Everyone knows about this achievement. It may not be passed down through the ages, but it is also the glory of our Song Dynasty for a hundred years. We cannot give up."

"Yes, Han Xianggong is right. We really can't give up on this matter. Lord Gu is right. The Liao Kingdom's attack at this time may really be due to this matter."

These adults are not incapable. They have been appeasing the people all the time. To put it bluntly, this is the environment in the Song Dynasty. After the military power was released over a cup of wine, the Song Dynasty has been suppressing the military officer group.

But we can’t suppress it anymore, at least we can’t give up on this war.

Seeing that several ministers had understood, several officials nodded in their hearts.

These people can be said to be their direct descendants. They are the ones who maintain the order in the court. If they understand, then there will be no problem.

"Okay, everyone knows the reason, so let's get started tomorrow. We must not allow any problems with the follow-up supply of this army. For everyone's sake, we will show no mercy if there is a problem."

"Yes, Mr. Han."

Several ministers stood up and bowed respectfully to the ministers.

Afterwards, he explained the matter in detail and everyone dispersed.

In the palace, Zhao Zongquan heard his personal eunuch tell the story of what happened and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I understand. Don't keep this information. Destroy it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Zongquan did not do nothing. At least the intelligence that his personal eunuch was in charge of had now penetrated deep into the ministers' homes.

As soon as Prime Minister Han finished discussing the matter, Zhao Zongquan knew about it immediately. This is ability.

 …

the next day.

Gu Tingyu got up early and had breakfast, and Shao Xueyan took out the armor that Gu Yankai had opened.

Gu Tingyu opened his arms, and Shao Xueyan and the maid helped Gu Tingyu dress up little by little.

"Don't worry, wait until I come back."

"Well, my husband, I'll wait for you to come back."

Shao Xueyan held back the tears in her eyes and did not let them fall.

Gu Tingyu took a deep breath and walked out quickly. Gu Tingye had also put on his armor and was waiting for him.

"Big brother."

"Well, let's go, Tingye, this time we have to fight together and kill the enemy."

"Haha, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

After saying that, the two of them walked out of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion together. The guards at the door had already put on their armor and were waiting for them.

The guards at the lord's house are guards in peacetime and personal soldiers in wartime.

After Gu Tingyu climbed onto the horse, he took a deep look at Shao Xueyan who was standing at the door holding the child.

Gu Tingye also greeted Minglan, and looking at Minglan's obviously bigger belly, there was reluctance in his eyes.

But as a general, there is no other way to protect the country.

"Set off."

Gu Tingyu pulled the reins and everyone headed straight for the military camp outside the city.

By the time the two men arrived at the military camp, the Duke of Yingguo and the Duke of Chengguo had already arrived, and the army was ready.

"Duke Yingguo, Duke Chengguo, we are late."

"Marquis Ningyuan, Tingye, you're just in time. We're early."

The two dukes looked at Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingye riding on their horses, as if they were seeing the younger version of Gu Yankai.

At this time, Zhao Zongquan and his party also came here and held a grand oath-taking ceremony.

"I am waiting here for you to return."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the whole army is on the march."

King Huan Zhao Yingce was dressed in military uniform and stood at the front of the army. This time, King Huan Zhao Yingce was the commander-in-chief, Gu Tingyu led 70,000 troops in one route, Gu Tingye led 30,000 cavalry in another route, and Duke Ying and Duke Cheng led 200,000 troops in the middle route.

An army of 300,000 set out from Bian Jing and headed straight for Zhuozhou.
