Chapter 760

Seed Master Dao took a deep breath, and then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Su Dongpo.

"Bachelor, this is a message from the Suide army that the last general has just received, just a few days ago, the secret post of the Suide army noticed that the Xia army in Longzhou and Yinzhou is now gathering along the Wuding River, not only the local garrison, but also the more than 10,000 Yanzhou troops who have not evacuated before......"

"And now that I've heard about Lord Xiao Wang's analysis, I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid that this matter is very likely to be like Xiao Wang's analysis. ”

"You mean, the mobilization of troops and horses of the Liao State is likely to target the three states occupied by my Great Song Dynasty?" At this time, Su Dongpo finally couldn't care about maintaining his image anymore, and ordered his entourage to hang up the map of Shaanxi Road, and his eyes fell on the eastern territory of Western Xia, which happened to be wrong with the Great Song Dynasty.

"General, is this the news you just received?" Wang Yang walked to the side of the Seed Master Dao and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, this is the news I just received, I just happened to come over to report to the bachelor, but I don't want you to come here, Xiao Wangren, and you also brought such a news......" The seed master smiled bitterly.

"I don't want to, but after synthesizing that information, my little brother is very scared, after all, now that the strength of the Western Xia State is declining, it is not uncommon to surrender to the Liao State, but I don't know why the Liao State will help so much." Wang Yang sighed helplessly.

"I don't know if there is any news on the Xingqing Mansion, if there are any clues, it would be good, but unfortunately, since we occupied Yanzhou, Xingqing Mansion is like seeing a ghost, and even the past business and trade exchanges are all banned, is there any news to transmit."

During this time, there was no news from the Xingqing Mansion at all, which should have a great deal to do with the tough measures taken by Western Xia.

"But all this, there is no empirical evidence, it's just our speculation, and before, the court has set the tone on this matter, even if we make a break to the court, it will definitely be pressed, even if it is Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not easy to speak." Su Dongpo's face was also gradually sad.

Yes, at least he also thinks that the land of Sanzhou is very likely to be attacked, but unfortunately, everything has to be evidenced, without evidence, everything depends on speculation, with the hatred between the important ministers of the court and Su Dongpo and Wang Yang, not only will it not play any role, maybe it will be impeached by those important ministers who hate Wang Yang and Su Dongpo to the bone.

After all, these two really offended those officials in the court, and the aftermath of the previous Yanzhou smuggling merchant case has not yet completely passed, as long as the ministers mention Wang Yang and Su Dongpo, they will put up a dense middle finger in their hearts to express their praise for Wang Yang and Su Dongpo, two excellent-stirring sticks.

"This subordinate naturally knows, so it is impossible for the subordinate to play the Son of Heaven without empirical evidence, after all, Your Majesty has already helped us too much, and we can't make it difficult for Your Majesty." Wang Yang also nodded thoughtfully.

"So Xia Guan can only figure out his own way, but now, Xia Guan has nothing to do, so he can only come over with a cheeky face to ask for a bachelor, hoping to get help from you."

"Soldiers and horses, it is impossible for the old man to give them to you, after all, it is impossible for the soldiers and horses to be mobilized without authorization, even if the old man is beside the Shaanxi Road to appease the envoy, because it is not wartime." Su Dongpo shook his head helplessly.

In the wartime, the pacification envoy and even the defense envoy have the power to make decisions on the spot, but now is not the time, Su Dongpo doesn't want to get into trouble with his ass, the important thing is that although Wang Yang's guess is very reasonable, it is only a guess after all.

And what everyone is doing can only be regarded as preparing in advance. Naturally, many things should not be done too much and too blatantly.

"It's okay if the soldiers and horses can't be transferred to the land of Sanzhou for reinforcement for the time being, but the lower official hopes that your side can provide a batch of bows, crossbows, arrows, knives and guns to the land of Yan, You, and Hong, and of course, armor."

"Although there are a total of 70,000 troops in the land of Sanzhou, they lack bows and crossbows, and they lack armor, if the Liao State really comes to attack on a large scale and enters the battle array without armor, the casualties will be very heavy."

Su Dongpo set his eyes on the body of the Seed Master, and in this regard, it seems that the Seed Master Dao will have more right to speak.

"We can provide you with 5,000 crossbows, 10,000 bows, 300,000 crossbow arrows and arrows, no more, as for 10,000 sets of swords and shields, and 30,000 spears......"

"But Agu, please forgive me and there is nothing I can do. But all the armor is registered with the soldiers, not to be lightly given, and we don't have any extra armor at all, although there are many people who have seized before, but the armor and excess armor that we have eliminated and replaced have also been shipped to all sides. ”

"After all, it was difficult for me to make armor in the Great Song Dynasty in the past, and I think Lord Xiao Wang, who once served in the Ordnance Supervisor, should know a thing or two. So far, there are at least one-third of the hundreds of thousands of border troops in our Great Song Dynasty, and they can only stand in leather armor. ”

Wang Yang listened to the words of the seed master, and his scalp was also a little numb. "It seems that this armor is really a big problem."

"If it's not a big problem, why did you know how excited my soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were when you invented Yuan Youjia at that time? After all, with excellent armor, the soldiers are equivalent to an extra life. Su Dongpo also said with emotion.

Seed Master Dao nodded thoughtfully. "But now, the time is too short, and the Yuan You armor that has been cast now is still not enough to supply the forbidden army, and the border army can only be distributed in small amounts, and if it weren't for you, Lord Wang, plus our Shaanxi Road is just going through a big war, otherwise, how could we get so many Yuan You armor."

"By the way, Mr. Su, Xia Guan remembers, our Shaanxi Road can cast armor, right?" Wang Yang rubbed his tight eyebrows and then asked Su Dongpo. There was always some hope, but it was quickly extinguished by Su Dongpo's words.

"Yes, it is true that it is possible to cast and repair armor, but the problem is that in order to maintain the production of Yuanyou armor, almost all kinds of iron materials are transported to Jingshi, and we have inventory on Shaanxi Road, how many pairs do you think can be forged?" Don't forget, if there is really a big war, those damaged armor tools will always need to be repaired at that time......" Su Dongpo spread his hands and said helplessly.

"What about leather armor?"

"It's more troublesome to make leather armor, first of all, we don't have much leather, after all, if you make leather armor, you have to make it with the leather of large animals, after all, only large livestock are big enough, and the quality of leather is thick enough."

"Iron armor can't work, leather armor can't do it, is it possible to get some cloth armor and paper armor to cover people's ears and eyes?" Wang Daguan stood up very painfully and walked back and forth in the hall, very annoyed.

"That's a real idea!" At this time, the Seed Master Dao actually slapped his thigh and roared excitedly.
