In Shanyang's defense preparations for the Liao army to move south seemed to be a bit overreacting. After all, the Liao army's movements have not been determined so far, and it is still stuck in Cao Bin's speculation for the time being.

However, Emperor Liu did not hesitate at all and decided to dispatch troops and enrich Shanyang. One very important reason is that Shanyang is indeed empty and is a major loophole in the current northern defense system.

When the Liao army was far away in Shangjing and the desert, they could not feel much threat. However, once the situation turned around, the enemy came south and approached Guanshan, the sense of crisis suddenly rose sharply, and Emperor Liu was always a person with a sense of crisis, and he was the one who was killed.

Although the Liao army came south so hard that although it had a great victory against the Han army, it failed to achieve complete success. When the army arrived in the Han territory, it was obviously trying to make a big mistake and avenge the failures of the Second Han-Liao War. They also needed more victories against the Han Dynasty to alleviate the almost collapsed country under the pressure of the huge war and boost their gradually lost confidence.

Therefore, Emperor Liu was sure that the Liao army would never give up. The emperor had arrived in person, which shows his determination. If Emperor Liu himself had this determination, he had even given up many concerns and gave up his gamble.

Emperor Liu didn't care where the Liao army was referring to the next command of the army. He just needed to do what he should do, make up for loopholes, enrich the borders, and strengthen defense.

If the Liao army was in a tough position and felt that the Han army in the middle would be completely defeated in a battle and wanted to advance to Youzhou by attacking Xuanhua, then Emperor Liu welcomed them and Yehuling was waiting for them. Emperor Liu still had confidence and expectations for Liu Tinghan. With the encouragement of defeat before, he would definitely be able to know shame and then brave, and give the Liao army a head-on blow.

After all, the situation between Liao and Han is not comparable to the battle between Mongolian and Jin in the original time and space, and Yehu Ridge will not be an opportunity.

Of course, judging by the Liao Dynasty's planning and implementation of Liu Tinghan's army, the Liao Dynasty's monarchs and ministers have many insights, and they are likely not to choose to encounter the strong and dangerous passes in the Xuanhua area. The Yunzhong front line is obviously a more reasonable choice.

Such planning would not be much time left for the Han army to adjust the arrangements. Considering this, a sense of urgency filled Emperor Liu's heart.

After pondering for a moment, Emperor Liu looked at Cao Bin who was still waiting and instructed: "Cao Qing, I will work harder for your colleagues tonight. Call Liu Xu, Li Ye, Chu Zhaofu, and General's orders to convey them as quickly as possible! Where will the situation in Shanyang go in the future depends on how quickly we deal with it!"

"Yes!" Feeling Emperor Liu's tone, he was as calm as Cao Bin, and felt a lot of pressure.

"Your Majesty, Liu Tinghan also mentioned something in his report. It is difficult to know the truth or falsehood, but it is of great importance..." Looking at Emperor Liu sitting upright without expression, Cao Bin hesitated, with a clear tone of caution.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Liu picked up the military newspaper that had not been read in detail on the case and glanced at him: "Is there any worse news than Liu Tinghan's defeat and the border is in a hurry?"

"Go back to your Majesty!" Cao Bin subconsciously buried his head, his voice lowered, and he reported: "While Liu Tinghan was fighting with the Liao army in Tianling, he found a message from a captive general of the Liao army, saying, saying..."

"What are you saying!" Emperor Liu turned his head, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Cao Bin. Even though he had just reported on Liu Tinghan's defeat and the Liao army knocking against him, Cao Bin did not hesitate so much.

Feeling the sharp gaze of Emperor Liu, Cao Bin responded in a deep voice: "According to the captive generals, a month ago, Wang Yansheng and Yang Ye's army, who attacked the northern desert, were intercepted by Yelu Xianshi, the Privy Councilor of Liaobei, in Wugu Mountain, and the entire army was wiped out!"

After hearing this, Emperor Liu's eyes suddenly condensed. At that moment, Cao Bin felt that the air had frozen. Emperor Liu's hand paused in the air for a while before continuing to stop his movements, without any emotion in his voice, and said quietly: "Is the news true?"

"It's still to be verified!" Although Cao Bin did not dare to give a positive answer, he did not give an optimistic attitude and analyzed: "However, I think that if the future troubles in Mobei is endless, the Liao army would not dare to go south so safely..."

The study room fell into silence again, and after a long silence, Emperor Liu spoke again, without any weakness or wavering: "I understand! You don't have to worry about this matter. Let's go to Shanyang first. It's important to continue the orders and do not delay. If there is any delay, the military and political officials at all levels will be punished strictly! "

"I'm asking for my leave!" Cao Bin did not dare to delay and left in a hurry.

When Cao Bin retreated, Emperor Liu lowered his head and turned on Liu Tinghan's report to find the report on the soldiers of the Mobei Expedition. The dim lights in the room reflected on Emperor Liu's face, and his skin was trembling slightly unconsciously...

"Come here, pass on Li Chongju!" After a while, Emperor Liu ordered coldly.

In this study, although there were two rows of oil lamps trying hard to burn themselves to release light, the surroundings were still a little dim, as if a layer of haze stubbornly enveloped the air and was difficult to disperse.

Emperor Liu stood, Li Chongju knelt down, his body was lying on the ground, his forehead almost touched the ground, and his broken porcelain cups were scattered. In many years, this was the first time that Emperor Liu had such a big temper towards Li Chongju. Of course, Li Chongju was also so panicked.

"The road is long, the traffic is cut off, the enemy is controlled, and the news is difficult to deliver. I don't know these difficulties?" Staring at Li Chongju, Emperor Liu no longer concealed his anger and almost asked Li Chongju: "If the information is so easy to obtain, what's the use of you Wude Department? What's the value of the elite soldiers and powerful generals under your command?"

"I am incompetent, please punish your majesty!" Li Chongju hit the ground with his head heavily.

"Don't always say that you are incompetent! I'm not listening to this!" Emperor Liu interrupted him with a irritable urgency and said coldly: "If you are used to taking incompetence as an excuse, then what do I need your martial ethics?"

"What Your Majesty blames is that I have disappointed Your Majesty!" Some habits have probably penetrated into the bone marrow. Li Chongju was frightened and his attitude of begging for guilt was difficult to change.

Seeing this, Emperor Liu raised his hand, waved it, and then put it down, and finally said coldly: "No matter what difficulties I have or what methods I use, I want you to explore the situation of the soldiers in the northern Qingmobei at the fastest speed. Whether it is life or death, I want a clear result!"

"Yes!" Li Chongju responded.

"Get out!"

Li Chongju came and went quickly. Emperor Liu walked in the room again, and Yan Tuo personally packed the broken porcelain cups, and was also cautious, knowing that Emperor Liu was extremely dangerous at this time.

After a long time, Emperor Liu sighed. In fact, he also knew that Li Chongju could not be blamed for this matter. Sometimes, it was really impossible to make up for the sluggish information.

However, his anger towards Li Chongju was not only this, but also the work that had not been done before has caused Emperor Liu to accumulate too much dissatisfaction, and this time it only broke out.

He had put enough pressure on Li Chongju. What will Li Chongju do next and how to transfer this powerful pressure to his staff's inquirer is not what Emperor Liu cares about, he only cares about the result.

Although Emperor Liu still had a glimmer of hope for the safety of the soldiers who went expedition to the north of Mobei, his confidence was really insufficient.

After all, it was fighting thousands of miles away in a distant and unfamiliar place with enemies on all sides, with no rear and no military supplies. Even if some were seized, the strategy of food for the enemy was severely weakened in the vast desert.

On the other hand, long-distance attacks like Wang Yansheng and Yang Ye need a sudden attack, and unexpected results.

In the early days, good results were indeed achieved. The abundant results of the harvest caused the Liao Dynasty to catch fire, disruption of the northwest, and turbulent deserts, which greatly involved the energy of Liao.

However, it is the enemy's territory after all, and it is difficult to get in. How can it be easy to get rid of it? It is a thorny path full of hardships and dangers, and it is almost a path of no return.

After the Liao Kingdom reacted and was prepared, it would not be so easy to achieve greater results. Even the Liao Kingdom's failure in the northwest desert was that King Ping Yelu Longxian was not prepared enough and was at a loss for dealing with the failure.

When Yelu Xianshi, a more difficult opponent, was replaced by the Liao army of the northern tribe, and he led the partial army of Wang and Yang. It is conceivable how severe the difficulties and dangers faced by Wang Yansheng and Yang Ye were.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Emperor Liu's mood continued to sink. When he received this bad news, he suddenly realized that it was a bit too early to be happy before.

The entire army was wiped out? Emperor Liu didn't believe it. It was not that easy. He couldn't beat it, but he couldn't run away?

Now, what he can expect is that Wang Yansheng and Yang Ye can successfully escape with their rich experience on the battlefield and tenacious fighting will. Although it seems difficult, it is even greater than the crisis and risks he faced during the journey north.

The Mobei Expeditionary Force has a lot of feelings for Emperor Liu, not to mention the two generals Wang Yansheng, Yang Ye, and Liu Fang and Liu Min.

This is also the point that Emperor Liu is most concerned and nervous about.

At this moment, he still cared more about his son. As for those soldiers, to be honest, even if the entire army was really wiped out, Emperor Liu would not shed a single tear...

However, what made Emperor Liu feel most frustrated was that he was powerless to do anything about this situation. Even if he was the supreme emperor who was rich in the world, he could only wait for one result.

This feeling made Emperor Liu very uncomfortable. Putting aside the gorgeous cloak of identity and power, he was just a person, a middle-aged greasy man who was for no reason.
