"Don't talk about it." After shooting the crow, Zhao Jiu finally closed his arrow and took the sweat scarf from Wu Guifei, who was in uniform, and then asked about the business. "Kanxi Third Road, plus the original soldiers and horses here in Chang'an, do you know the strength of the four powers in your heart?"

"The minister can only try to say it." Yang Yizhong was sincerely right.

"Speaking."

"Xihe Road is the best, Xiaxi Road (Hanzhong) is second, Jingzhao is again, and Qinfeng Road is the second." Yang Yizhong did not hesitate.

"Xihe Road is next to Qingtang, and the number of cavalry is too large. Since Jingkang, instead of fighting against the Golden Army, they have defeated Xixia many times. I know that the soldiers and horses of this road are in the best condition." Zhao Jiu wiped his sweat. Seriously relative. "Jingzhao hurriedly gathered militiamen and they were almost unavailable. I also know, but why Qinfeng Road is not as good as Xiaxi Road? Isn't Xiaxi Road Hanzhong? How can that place be compared to the serious Guanxi soldiers and horses? Besides, Qinfeng Road has always been the second only. In the place of Jingzhao, where is the foundation of Kansai?"

"The minister thought it should be caused by Wang Xie's rebellion." Yang Yizhong replied earnestly. "After Jingkang, Qin Fenglu was used to house Wang Xie, and Wang Xie was really a man who had lost the country. His military discipline was scattered, and he fled after hearing the wind. It was almost useless... But Zhang Yunzhi (Zhang Jun) dealt with Wang Xiehou. , Yuwenxianggong issued an order to transfer Zhao Zhe from Zhang Yunzhan Cao Division to the military and horse superintendent, but it was only half a year."

After wiping the sweat, Zhao Jiu nodded and motioned to Concubine Wu to go back, then turned around to speak, but sighed again.

In other words, the reason why Qu Duan was able to survive, and why Wang Shu, a theoretically perfect victim, could not bring down Qu Duan in Tokyo and give himself a sigh of malice, was to some extent in Kansai’s so-called “old three members” at that time. Wang Xie...Looking back now, this person is basically Liu Guangshi, Fan Qiong and others, and even not as good as these two people. Liu Guangshi is able to win over his subordinates with his family background. Fan Qiong also talked to Jinren in the early stage. The courage to fight, what does Wang Xie have?

And this person’s existence perfectly reflects Qu Duan’s ability and the credit for maintaining northern Shaanxi. It also allows Wang Shu, who has always used Wang Xie to deal with Qu Duan, has achieved a real power book when he returns, but when it comes to old accounts, In Tokyo, a place that'only talks about anti-golden utilitarianism', you can't hold your head up.

When Zhao Jiu couldn’t bear it, he signaled Yu Wen Xuzhong, Zhang Jun, and Hu Yin to kill Wang Xie and nail Wang Xie to the identity of a “wrong country thief”. Between Wang Shu and Qu Duan, it was even worse. It's a mess.

But regardless of these old things and grievances, the problem now is that when this is critical, the whole country has to pay for a series of internal conflicts and troubles of the three three people before-taking the risk to put it back to the end of the game. The same is true if Wu Jie is allowed to lose once and then again, and the same is true for Qin Fenglu who accepts a collapsed combat power.

Otherwise, is there any other way?

"These few soldiers and horses, how do they compare to imperial soldiers and horses?" Zhao Guanjia still asked this sentence as he watched Mrs. Wu go to another hospital.

Although Yang Yizhong had anticipated this question a long time ago, and had a draft for a long time, but for some reason, he became more careful in his words: "Military capacity, equipment, military discipline, and fullness of war and soldiers are all inferior to the imperial battalion. That is to say, there are more horses on Xihe Road, and they are still new..."

Besides, Yang Yizhong said later, and Zhao Jiu had already walked into the corridor while listening, and greeted the scholar Xiaolin who was waiting here. He was going to see Yu Wenxu and others in the back hall. But hearing the words behind him suddenly stopped, it made the official of Song Dynasty startled, and then turned his head to look at the person behind him.

Without him, Yang Yizhong said a lot of ‘inferior’, which can be easily verified as ‘inferior’, but there is never a conclusion, that is to say, ‘inferior’ in terms of combat power or the final generalized ‘inferior’.

This is very interesting.

"The minister was ordered to lift the Imperial City Division. He should only talk about what he saw in front of him." When Yang Yizhong saw the official stopping to see him, he also said seriously. "However, the minister is also the direct commander of the prince squad, but in military affairs, it is a rare place for the minister to express his views..."

"Then bluntly, why are you so careful?" Zhao Jiu held his hand to each other.

"Because the minister is from Kansai, he has a stake..." Yang Yizhong replied earnestly.

"So what you mean is that even though the soldiers and horses of the Kanxi provinces have been raided twice by the Lou room and once by civil strife, and after being born in peace, they have received Bashu money and food and reorganized them within a year, but they still have merits. Even before the battle is no less than the imperial army?" Zhao Jiu frowned.

"Yes."

"What reason?"

"One is defending the hometown, the soldiers are brave; the other is fighting locally, adapting to the terrain and climate." Yang Yizhong became more sincere. "So the minister thought that if it was a specific battlefield, the Western army might not be as good as the imperial battalion...Of course, many soldiers and horses in the imperial battalion were originally from the Western Army, so it would be nothing compared."

Zhao Jiu pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded, then turned and continued to follow Xiaolin's scholar to the back hall, but after two steps, he stopped and turned back again: "Did you find your grandfather's bones?"

Yang Yizhong was stunned for a while, and then shook his head sadly.

Zhao Jiu stopped speaking, and finally walked quickly into the back hall. At this time, Yuwen Xuzhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Ziyu, and three economic envoys, as well as Hu Yin messenger, Han Shizhong messenger, Li Yanxian messenger, Luoyang messenger, The Tokyo messenger, and even the messengers of Yu Yuefei, Zhang Rong, Lu Xu, Zhang Jun and others, are already here.

This is not a coincidence, but a routine notification.

As early as before Zhao Jiu's departure, when the minister of the court was re-appointed to supervise the army, he secretly passed the will. Regardless of the distance, the military affairs, the coach, staying behind, and the minister should report here every day, and the Kansai will send it directly. Da, Kanto takes the Nanluoshui Trail... The Daily Daily has almost become a custom-made one.

In fact, Zhao Jiu, dressed in cotton tight-sleeved clothes, entered Detang directly, sitting directly on the lamp, but did not speak with Yu Wenxu and others. Instead, he personally took the daily memorial from the messengers and opened it directly. Look, after all the memorials have been read, and the messengers are allowed to rest for the time being, then the situation is discussed.

"The Golden Army in Hedong has already gathered. The entire Hezhong Mansion is full of Golden Army flags, and Baishui City is also lost. The Golden Army may soon go south. The pressure on Han Shizhong's side is too great. I hope Li Yanxian will not withdraw the Anlu soldiers on the north bank of the Yellow River. Try to postpone one or two." Zhao Jiu's complexion was as usual, as he opened his mouth and handed over several reports to Liu Yan beside him.

The latter has since distributed these things to Yu Wenxu and others.

"But I don't know what Li Taiwei said there?" Zhang Jun divided a daily newspaper, before he could read it, he hurriedly faced each other.

"Li Yanxian did not mention this in the newspaper." Zhao Jiu replied calmly. "It's just for Shao Yun, the guardian of Anlu, to beg for official rank and wife's grace..."

"That's a promise." Yu Wenxu sighed with a squeeze in the Zhong Daily. "Although Anlu City may not be unable to defend it, it may or may not be impossible to escape or enter the Zhongtiao Mountain in the north, but hundreds of thousands of gold troops gather in the east of the river, under the pressure of Mount Tai, how easy is it to say?"

Zhao Jiu didn't answer, and the rest of the people in the hall were also speechless.

In fact, there are some things that everyone knows well and may not necessarily be said, especially in the current situation, when the big battle is approaching, life and death are usually bearish, and it is really bad for morale if you feel sad... Write it down and rest assured. , And then wait until I can survive before I am qualified to feel and repay.

Of course, it is best for Zhao Jiu to be a reward.

As for what Yuwen Xuzhong said like this, there is no way. It must be known that this person was the temperament of Fenghuaxueyue in his early years, and he responded to the call of Xingzai early and rushed to Xingzai. It is also mostly because he was a messenger during the change of Jingkang and felt guilty towards the country and the emperor... From his more emotional temperament In fact, it is not a qualified messenger. Only his qualifications and identity are there. As early as when the Jinren invaded, he was the leader of the senior scholars, and he had the credit for the journey, so it is not easy to care about the previous appointments, nor is it easy to care about the previous appointments. His words at the moment.

"Hu Jinglue said... Wu Jie, Fangzhou City, won a small victory?" The Anlu incident passed, and after a moment of silence, the Privy Council agreed that Liu Ziyu quickly noticed a weirdness in the daily newspaper in his hand. "The date of sending the letter is the day before, and the small victory message is the day before yesterday. When was the fall of Baishui City?"

"Yesterday."

Zhang Jun glanced at Han Shizhong's daily newspaper and quickly gave the answer.

And this is the trouble of the war. There are a lot of clues, and the dates are all different, and they need to be sorted after they are put together. This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Jiu had to share information to a certain extent.

"Baishui City is some distance away from Fangzhou City. The Golden Army striker battalion is not as fast as the messenger." Liu Ziyu blurted out immediately after hearing this message and pointed out the problem. "If Fangzhou City is still in a small victory in front of the day, and Baishui City was captured yesterday, it can only mean that Wanyan Lou's family has divided up troops and marched south before Fangzhou City...This is a bit unreasonable."

"What does Ziyu mean?" Zhang Jun was immediately alert in his heart, and then reminded him in a serious tone. "Although Hu Mingzhong is a bit pedantic, he will never lie!"

"But the Western Army will meet, and Wu Jie was born in an authentic Western Army and has been polished in the Western Army for almost 20 years." Liu Ziyu calmly looked at Zhang Jun first, and then at his diagonally opposite. The Liu brothers did not leave any affection at all. "In my opinion, Wu Jie knew that he would be defeated and Fangzhou would be undoubtedly lost, and even said that the former Rifang State had already lost... But he was promoted to a manager by the official after losing streak before. I can’t help being flustered, so as to cover up and whitewash, I will first falsely report some military achievements, and then say that the city has been tragically defended, and finally say that I have no choice but to withdraw. It is also impossible to say that it is impossible."

The summer night was hot and dry, but Zhao Jiu put his hands in his sultry sleeves, thinking all the way through, without saying a word or expression.

As for the others, they reacted differently... Yu Wen Xuzhong and Zhang Jun sighed and were promoted by Yu Wen Xu. In fact, it was Zhang Jun’s private Zhao Zhe who turned a deaf ear to him. Liu Qi wanted to defend Wu Jun, but his elder brother Liu Xi stop.

Obviously, the people who stayed behind in the back hall of Xianggong's mansion, Bacheng recognized Liu Ziyu's words and judgments, because it is so common for the Western Army to do this kind of thing... This group of **** are doing good things. I have done it. As for the unsuccessful things like seeing death without saving and striving for fame, it is even more commonplace, let alone falsely reporting military merits, or just deliberately wrong the date for a day or two?

He really did something about killing Liang and taking merit. The Wang Sun-chen promoted by Li Gang was the one who triggered the Mutiny in the Southeast. Back then, he was downgraded to ten ranks because of killing Liang and taking merit. But later his daughter married well. Become a Jiedushi.

In short, it’s not good to say, that is, now I’m under the pressure of the golden man, I’m out of breath, and I’ll be able to celebrate my birthday one day. Zhao Jiu doesn’t reorganize the Western Army like the former general rebels, it’s simply a journey through. Shame of the person.

But I have to say it again, isn't it that Jin Jun is pressing everyone out of breath right now? Don't all the atrocities, all the internal strife, all the stupidity and stupidity seem so sad and ridiculous in the face of the systematic massacre of the Jin army and the systematic enslavement of the people of Lianghe?

What's more, there is no evidence yet.

Therefore, although he believed most in his heart, reason told Zhao Jiu that he could not make malicious speculations about a general who was likely to kill the enemy on the front line without evidence, let alone Yu Wen Xuzhong and Zhang Civil servants like Jun and Liu Ziyu collectively sent some improper signals to several generals.

"Military is serious, don't slander your colleagues without proofs." Zhao Jiu recovered, and rarely scolded Liu Ziyu. "But military lenient... may as well count the gains and losses of Fangzhou City."

"The minister failed to say something." Liu Ziyu managed to stand up and plead guilty, and then quickly returned to the topic. "In fact, now that Baishui has fallen, Lou Shi has already understood his mind. He will either turn to Baishui to the southeast and go to Tongzhou, and attack Taiwei Han with Hedong soldiers; or turn to the southwest of Baishui, from Pucheng or simply Fuping. Go south and point to Jingzhao..."

"Then how to deal with it?" Zhao Jiu's tone was calm.

"The minister thinks that it is better to remain unchanged and respond to all changes, continue to stick to the city, resist layer by layer." Liu Ziyu's military strategy remains the same. "Of course, Tongzhou, Weishui, and Chang'an City are the three major nodes. We should focus our efforts on operating the configuration and try to preserve the soldiers and horses. In this way, regardless of the momentary victory or defeat, as long as it can be dragged until the autumn rain is muddy, the Jinren will start from logistics. When the morale is too high, everything can't be sustained, and Kansai will naturally keep it."

Yu Wenxu nodded directly, and Liu Xi and Zhao Zhe also nodded together, but Zhang Jun and Liu Qi stared at the Zhao official's house under the candlelight without saying anything. Obviously, the two official confidants, the new and the old, were waiting for the official's attitude.

"Let me ask Yanxiu (in the words of Liu Ziyu), if the army of the Golden Kingdom in Hedong can't cross the river in a short time, just talk about the Lou room, how many soldiers can he bring south?" Zhao Jiu suddenly asked an inexplicable question.

The reason why it is inexplicable is because the Privy Council has said this question many times. Zhao Jiu and many ministers and generals have asked it many times, but they don't know how to ask again.

"Forty thousand!" Liu Ziyu repeated patiently. "Among them, 30,000 soldiers are elite under restraint, and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers...but this is not the 10,000 soldiers of the perfect girl."

"Fifty thousand... right?" Zhao Jiu took a deep breath, attracting the attention of many people in the room. "If you want to block all these 50,000 people in the Baihe River and prevent them from entering the plains, how many soldiers are needed?"

Liu Ziyu stared at the official above, then stood up and seriously admonished: "Officials, it is not suitable to take risks at this time. Hedong has more than 100,000 gold troops. Although there are more Han Second Army, but after all, they are more than 100,000 gold troops. Under the pressure of Mount Tai, Anlu will inevitably be unable to hold on, and the Yellow River will certainly be able to cross... Since ancient times, it has not been often heard that Hedong cannot enter the pass!"

"I just asked." Zhao Jiu also got serious. "If the soldiers and horses of the Golden State in Hedong can't cross the river, they will block the fifty thousand golden army in the plateau and the mouth of the river to the north...how many soldiers will it take?"

"This question is unreasonable. The minister was appointed to take the position of the secretary of the Privy Council. It was his majesty's plan for national affairs. For such a fictitious matter, the minister cannot answer." Liu Ziyu bowed to the end, and his expression became more serious after getting up.

"It's okay." Zhao Jiu nodded, and then directly nodded Liu Xi's name: "Where is Da Liu, the leader of Xihe Road? How much do you want?"

"The place at Baihe is hills, plateaus, rivers, and swamps." Liu Xi stood up. Unlike Liu Ziyu, he did not dare to hesitate at all. "It is reasonable to say that there is some geography, but the Golden Army really dares to fight. If you really want to block the enemy in the wild, you must prepare for the field. Once a decisive battle in the field, the plateau can still be charged with a horse, so the minister thinks that you need three times the army. , Can only be used..."

"It's 150,000." Zhao Jiu frowned.

"It doesn't take that much." Liu Xi quickly added. "One hundred and thirty thousand is enough. Out of fifty thousand, there are only 40,000 real captives who are not enough. Those more than ten thousand soldiers and horses are not the soldiers of Yan'an Prefecture, or the soldiers of the three states of Hewai. It’s no different. And besides, don’t the officials have extra players here? The prince squad directly and the elites dispatched from all parts of the empire, how can the combat power of the ministers and other subordinates compare?"

Zhao Jiu nodded slowly, but looked at Zhang Jun again: "If you gather such soldiers and horses, will the logistics be sufficient?"

"The good instructor knows that the transfer in Shuzhong has not stopped at this time, and it must be sufficient..." Zhang Jun answered quickly.

"Official!" Liu Ziyu, who had never returned to his seat, was uneasy, no matter how hard he could bear, and directly interrupted his friend's words. "For military affairs, don't try to get lucky. How could the Hedong Golden Army not be able to cross the river? Don't keep the heart of field warfare. This is different from the situation in Yanling at that time! There was no way to go then!"

Zhao Jiu laughed again when he saw this: "Since he knows that the Hedong Golden Army will cross the river, why should Liu Qing worry that I will take it seriously? Besides, even if the Hedong Golden Army cannot come to aid, according to Liu Jinglue, what about 12 to 30 thousand soldiers? Minced? Han Shizhong wants to guard the river and can't move. He only has 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers in the imperial camp, and the Western Army's Five Lujiaxia West Road has barely 50,000 or 60,000. If Fangzhou loses, he will have to reduce it... What to go to the field?"

"The minister is out of state." Liu Ziyu took a deep breath and pleaded again. "The minister mainly saw that the elite soldiers and horses of Chang'an were getting together, and they were afraid that the officials would have a sharp knife in their hands and murder themselves. However, they forgot that the Lou room was not an ordinary golden general, and the West Route Army had never been afraid of hard fighting!"

Zhao Jiu nodded, and changed the subject directly: "As soon as Qu Duan left without a trace, Hu Mingzhong said that he passed by Ningzhou, and after a hurried side, he headed west and north, and went to Jingyuan to gather the soldiers and horses... Although it is mainly a picture. He scratched the side of Lou's room, but he still had to find a messenger as soon as possible to find out the situation."

This seemed appropriate, and Liu Ziyu and others nodded one after another.

From then on, Zhao Guan’s family stopped mentioning nonsense such as field battles and blocking the Lou room. The monarchs and ministers discussed the military situation for a long time, and specified the plan of the Han Shizhong Ministry to withdraw safely if necessary, as well as the arrangement of the Weishui line of defense. Just like the previous few days, it didn't end until late at night.

At the end of the meeting, the official family left first, and all the people below Yuwen Xuzhong also evacuated.

However, as the half master of this place, the emissary who has been passing down orders from the official family for several days, Yu Wen Xuzhong, when he was about to leave, was suddenly stopped by Yang Yizhong...The rest of the people saw it because they didn’t. I could catch a glimpse of the words of the confidants and the officials, but accelerated their pace and left...Of course, in fact, Yang Yizhong's call to stop Yuwen Xuzhong was just a small matter.

"The number of daily newspapers is wrong?" Yuwen Xuzhong was puzzled for a while. "The messengers gathered and handed them to the officials in person. We saw them with our own eyes? Even the messengers of Zhang Boying from Huaidong came, and Qu Duan missed the information and asked the officials specifically. How could it be wrong?"

Yang Yizhong was stunned, and he also squeezed several daily papers in his hands and laughed for a while: "Maybe it was one that dropped, or someone brought one, it's okay, let's look for it tomorrow..."

Yuwenxianggong smiled again when he saw it: "The message has been right. In fact, as long as it is not for Hu Mingzhong, Han Taiwei, and Li Taiwei, it is okay for anyone who just took a copy just now and forgets to return it... It doesn't interfere with the military situation. "

Yang Yizhong nodded repeatedly, saluted the other party, and then carefully squeezed his hands and transferred the China Daily out of the back hall. As soon as he left the back hall, he saw Zhao Guan's house and Liu Yan who were waiting here under the slightly dark backyard porch.

What's interesting is that Yang Yizhong was not surprised.

"Yang Qing, for you, if you want to fight in the field, how many people can trap the 50,000 people in the Lou room?" Zhao Jiu held his hand to each other. "to be frank."

"One hundred thousand!" In the twilight, Yang Yizhong raised his head, facing each other. "Even if you count the one behind the official staff here, it will cost one hundred thousand! Otherwise you won't be able to trap... the official, Lou Shi's trip was clearly calculated properly, and Zhang Yun made his best effort. We brought an extra 20,000 soldiers, but the northern part of Shaanxi was broken, and the second lieutenant Han and Li was constrained by Hedong. Our troops are still insufficient."

Zhao Jiu sighed slightly...Why didn't he know?

Wang De and Wang Yan added 40,000. Jingzhao gathered more than 30,000 soldiers from Jingzhao, Xihe, Qin Feng, and Xiaxi. Through the selection of elites from various ministries, they gathered five or six thousand people along the way. The'Elite Collection', coupled with the imperial squad straight, barely 80,000, is the North Shaanxi Three Road, that is, Yanju Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, there are still some soldiers and horses left, and it is really less than ten. Million!

Not to mention, this is just a paper talk, the theoretical ratio of soldiers and horses.

Of course, Zhao Jiu, who has fought two battles, knows well that if he is really determined to fight an annihilation war, it may be impossible for Han Shizhong to drop the Hedong Golden Army before the battle and make a time difference to help... But this is too idealistic, really Gamblers are no different.

"Shu Chen speaks frankly." In silence, Yang Yizhong raised his head, his eyes gleaming slightly in the dark night. "Officials, Liu Chengzhi's words are actually from the bottom of his heart, and they are regarded as one-hearted, unless the official has other information..."

Zhao Jiu nodded: "Of course I know what Liu Ziyu said is extremely right~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but today is really not my sudden whim...Yue Peng reported that he had the intention to cross the river out of Xiangzhou in the first ten days of next month. Linking with Ma Kuo involves the Hedong Golden Army! And since I have previously granted him the power to act exclusively, there is no reason to stop him."

"May have a miraculous effect." Yang Yizhong suddenly woke up, but soon shook his head again. "But the officials, this can only be involved for a while, as long as Hedong and the Daming Mansion send troops to attack, Taiwei Yue is destined to be unable to stay in Hebei, and how much it can be involved is unknown."

"I know," Zhao Jiu replied calmly. "I just couldn't hold back it for a while..."

After saying that, Zhao Jiu turned around, holding a copy of the daily newspaper with his hands behind his back, but it was indeed the copy that Yang Yizhong had not found, and it was also the copy of Yue Fei, and the official had nothing. The intention of handing in the daily paper to Yang Yizhong together, but holding the daily paper, pacing disappeared into the twilight.

Yang Yizhong wanted to speak, but he gave up after all.

PS: Thanks to Camelyexs for being cute...the 79th is cute.

I'm still alive... I won't say anything... This month, I will still ensure 150,000 words.
