Shao Song

Chapter 232

Zhang Xian and Tian Shizhong each cited Yue Fei and Zhang Jun’s troops from the Nanluoshui Trail, which really shook the entire Chang'an.

There are not many soldiers, and the total number of the two families is only six or seven thousand. It is impossible to be too many. Otherwise, the eastern front will be a danger to the muscles and bones, and it will be difficult not to attract the attention of the Jin army who is facing off across the river, let alone. Among them, Yue Fei is also planning to cross the river directly to Xiangzhou in the near future.

But in any case, the significance of the presence of these two forces in Chang'an is self-evident.

First of all, at this sensitive moment, when everyone is settling accounts for the "showdown", every increase or decrease of the two sides will cause the strategic balance to shake, and these six to seven thousand people are enough to make many people in their hearts. Overweight a certain trend.

Secondly, the name Beiwei Army originated in Xixia and widely existed in the Western Army. It was not promoted to the Central Plains by Han Shizhong until the imperial army was reorganized. Therefore, almost everyone here in Kansai understands the two troops themselves. Their fighting ability and political meaning, and also understand the political declaration they represent here-this is the absolute obedience and support of Yue Fei and Zhang Jun to the officials.

In the end, everyone had to re-evaluate and guess the young official who was hiding in the mansion of the envoy.

After all, for most of the leaders of the Western Army, before the Chang'an meeting, the Zhao official’s house was always a political symbol in the legend, and the attitude of these people towards the official can be seen from the previous song. I know one or two things, but now, this official has demonstrated his authority in a straightforward way.

At the same time, although Zhao Guanjia made strategic responses by relying on the way of Tuogu and sneaking to Chang'an, but for Kansai, whether it is passive defense or proactive attack, it always maintains a weird balance...Everyone says it's defending. At that time he asked if he could attack and how many soldiers would the attack cost? When most people tried to attack, he began to suppress the voice of the fight again.

Compared with the statement, one has to look at what this official has done. Then with the increasing number of soldiers and horses in Chang'an City and the arrival of today’s two Beiwei army, no doubt everyone will treat this official. The determination to fight has a new assessment.

In the first ten days of May, the summer heat was intensified, and the city of Chang'an also gradually became restless with the hard-to-dissipate heat, because after the Dragon Boat Festival, military conditions were repeated, and the hearts of the people were hard to hold on.

"According to Qu Duan and Wu Lin's return, Wu Lin found four to five thousand people in Huanqing and Qu Duan, and Qu Duan found 10,000 people on Jingyuan Road...Where can there be so many soldiers and horses?" In the evening, Zhao Jiu looked at the expedited report sent in his hand and couldn't help but frowned. "Shanbei Sanlu is so poor, the population is so small, so many defeats, so many people died, how can we still find soldiers and horses? And if it is temporary recruitment, how can it be used?"

"The minister took the liberty to guess, if you say four or five thousand, then the soldiers in the walled city are probably correct."

Liu Xi, the governor of Xisan Road, who has been much more active recently, quickly got up and took the lead in answering seriously. "Since the rise of Xixia, the country and the dynasty have been harassed by the vast deserts of Xixia. Therefore, many walled cities have been built along the border as a strategy for advancing and defensive purposes. Among them, Huanqing Road, Jingyuan Road Junzhai, and Juncheng are the most popular. ...As far as the minister knows, when Quduan went to Yanju Road to face the enemy, Zhang Zhongfu was left to take over the military village along Jingyuan Road and Zhang Zhongyan to take control of the military village along the Huanqing Road. These should be the soldiers and horses. In fact, it is. After the previous rebel King Xiefu punished him, Yuwen Xianggong also dispatched various city owners and village owners to enrich the generals, such as Qinfeng Road soldiers and horses superintendent Murongwei, Xingyuan Palace soldiers and horses superintendent Zhang Zhong, and the ministers under the military and horse superintendent Li Yanqi, General Qiao Ze, as well as Qiao Zhongfu and Zhang Jing, commanders of the Chinese Army in the imperial camp, were all born as city masters on the two roads."

Zhao Jiu actually realized half of the time he heard it...In history, the city on the border of the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia was very famous. This was mainly because most of the battles between the Song and the Xixia took place in the Renzong and Shenzong dynasties. There are not too many historical celebrities in these two eras... But regardless of these, Liu Xixu talked about it, and the meaning was already obvious. Qu Duan and Wu Lin were all the border guards.

This is of course a very feasible way, not to mention that Xixia who has a little brain shouldn't help the stronger Jurchen at this time, because they really did this, and they didn't care much.

Don't make your priorities too obvious.

"What is the relationship between Qiao Ze and Qiao Zhongfu?" Zhao Jiu casually asked a strange question while listening.

"It's an uncle and nephew of the same family." Liu Xi hurriedly responded.

"You said that the four to five thousand people are probably soldiers from the Walled City. Where did the ten thousand people in that Quduan come from?" Zhao Jiu continued to question.

"No matter how presumptuous the minister is, the remaining thousands of people are probably Fan soldiers." After all, Liu Xi was a general of the Western Army and knew the military of Kansai well.

"Fan soldiers?" Zhao Jiu thoughtfully. "Tubo people or party members?"

"If the ministers stationed on Xihe Road would naturally have more people from Tubo, but Huanqing and Jingyuan Roads would naturally be party members." At this point, Liu Xi glanced at Zhang Jun, his superior, who had not spoken, and pondered a little. It took a while to continue speaking. "Actually, the Tubo people are untamed, and the Qingtang area to the west is sparsely populated and difficult to control. Therefore, it has always been easy to conduct business and difficult to recruit. It is the three roads of Huanqing Road, Yanyu Road, and Jingyuan Road. In the north, due to the long battle with the Xixia people, the Dangxiang tribe lived in it, either Xixia, or Huangsong. It is difficult to sway, so there are more soldiers from the king. Qu Jinglue has been operating there for 20 years. , Quite prestigious, it is also common to find some tribes under Hengshan to live in... This is a great good thing, and it is actually a wise decision by the officials before."

Zhao Jiu nodded...not to agree with the'wise decision', but to approve of the interpretation of the fan tribe, because he just remembered that Yang Weizhong who should be leading the imperial army to the north line now Wei, as the oldest member of the Western Army in existence today, is said to have been born as a Tibetan on the border of Huanqing Road and changed his Chinese name.

how to say? From this perspective, Da Song's war potential is still there, provided that you have to do your best to squeeze out these last strengths.

"Officials." Zhang Jun couldn't help it when he saw Zhao Jiu just asking for details. "The official family used to gather all the elites along the way and use them together. In addition, the Yuqian squad has already gathered six thousand people. Now the Lianglu Beiwei army is here again, and there are already twelve thousand such elites in Chang'an City. Everyone, these are all soldiers and horses comparable to the Jinren, plus Qu Duan has found 10,000 people, and Wu Lin can replace Wu Yu Shoufang Prefecture and let Wu Yu go south. This is another four or five thousand... Here in Kansai, the hundreds of thousands are far beyond!"

"So when you go to the field?" Zhao Jiu glanced at Zhang Jun, still showing no joy or anger.

"Yes!" Under the lights, Zhang Junzhan stood up and confronted each other earnestly. "The minister thought that he could go to war, and he should go to war, and the minister, as the five-way transit envoy of Bashu, must remind the officials that it takes time to gather soldiers and horses, and time to transfer logistics, and the warfare is fleeting... Duan and Wu Lin's report at this time is of course the daily routine after the contact, and it is also a request for instructions. If the officials want them to gather their troops south, they should make a quick decision."

"The minister agrees with Zhang Yunshi's analysis." Before Zhao Jiu could speak, Liu Ziyu stood up boldly. "Qu Duan and Wu Lin's move was meant to ask the officials how to use their troops, and the officials should make a quick decision, but the officials thought that the officials should make an order to get them from the security forces (later in Zhidan County). ) Go east along North Luoshui and exit Diaoyin Mountain Pass, in order to try to beat the army of Lou Shi!"

The two have a clear stand, and Zhao Jiu did not make a statement at the moment.

"Official family." At this moment, the Imperial Commander Wang Yuan also took the opportunity to speak. "The minister thought that the army was dispatching at the right time. Yesterday Wang Futong reported that the Lou Shi led his army across the white water on the Dragon Boat Festival, but stopped and camped on the lakeside between Pucheng and Meiyuan, as if he was afraid of the heat in order to reach the lake. To escape the summer heat, at this time, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and separating from the Living Women's Division, quickly surrounded it, just enough to block the Jinjun on the lakeside!"

"I just thought that Jin Jun was not just escaping the heat, but it seemed to be tempting us." Liu Ziyu did not hesitate to repeat his position yesterday.

"How about temptation?" Wang Yuan answered immediately. "How can the Golden Army count that we have so many soldiers and horses? His 30,000 people have only 20,000 true captives. We are a hundred thousand people and can be destroyed in a single battle. As for the room, it is no longer useful. Because Danzhou has been captured by a living girl. Longmendu, which is separated to the north of Liangshan, is similar to Baishuicheng, which has fallen. In fact, it is already difficult to defend. If the Beiluo water passage is cut off, Loushi can easily take the Longmen upstream. Crossing is the way of food. Besides, with Lou Shi’s talents, he may not be able to make the road behind him."

Liu Ziyu didn't hesitate, and immediately refuted again: "If you scratch the back road, you can swallow the front army?"

At this point, Liu Ziyu folded his hand to the official Zhao: "Officials, don't forget what Qu Duan said before he left. At that time, he was asked to go north after he was tortured Lou's room."

"At that time, had you ever thought that Wu Jie was so useful?" Wang Yuan was also rude. "Liu joins the army, the situation changes three times a day, and we should also adapt to the circumstances. The strong conservative strategy may not be stable! We really have the power to fight right now!"

Liu Ziyu was silent for a while, but quickly shook his head: "The Jin army is far away, and it can't last. After the summer heat, and even the autumn rain, he will inevitably retreat."

"How do you know that he is bound to retreat?" Wang Yuan is a long-standing general, and his qualifications are also here, but he is pressing hard. "If he recuperates after this period of heat, he will not rush to retreat Han Liangchen from Tongzhou, gather the Hedong Golden Army to break the Weishui River, and then know that the official is in Chang'an, and if the Golden Army has fought for 100,000 lives, Chang'an will be killed. What is the future of Emperor Song? How do you know that Lou Shi is tempting the enemy? Do you know that the Golden Army cannot last? You say we are gambling, you are so persistent, sitting and watching the Golden Army come and go calmly, aren’t you gambling? ?"

Liu Ziyu's complexion changed slightly, but he still shook his head slowly: "Jin Jun is false and real, Lou Shi's mind, you and I really don't know, it is true that they are just guessing... In this way, I can't convince Wang Du to be convinced, Wang Du Tong also Can't convince me."

"So, in any case, did you disagree to play at the first step?" Wang Yuan asked coldly.

"Also." Liu Ziyu shook his head, his tight body seemed to relax suddenly, and then raised his head again, turned and looked around at Shiquan Wenwu who was coming to listen to the daily newspaper tonight, and finally turned back. Zhao Jiu just bowed his hand in the direction of Zhao Jiu, and confronted him seriously. "Officials and ministers for the Privy Council are all appointed to lead the post, and they should be appointed as the military staff of the imperial court. They should do their best, and the ministers think that they can't stick to the four characters.... The generals of the officials are hundreds of officials and people, maybe There is a decision, but in any case, the minister should honestly offer his opinions, that's it!"

Zhao Jiu nodded slightly, and wanted to speak.

At this time, because the brothers were all sitting together, Liu Qi, who had seldom spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up: "The officials and ministers have a word, which may solve a temporary problem."

"Speaking of." Zhao Jiu raised his hand to face each other.

"You can let Qu Jinglue and Wu Dujian (Wu Lin) gather in Ningzhou temporarily, then pass Ziwu Mountain and leave Fangzhou via Jushui, and join forces with Wu Jinglue (Wu Yan). Then, if the officials want to send When the army goes to the Baihe River for field battles, they can also go south from the south of Fangzhou to support them. If the officials want to beat the enemy, they can also unite their troops to attack the Jinjun Beiluoshuihekou camp... it is alive. Women entrenched on the roads of Danzhou will also be dangerous, and Lou Shi will have to retreat.” Liu Qi said slowly, but gave a pure military opinion that sounded good. "And the officials can also take the opportunity to issue orders and ask about Qu Jinglue and Wu Jinglue's defense."

Moreover, Zhao Jiu and the people in the hall heard clearly, and naturally knew the true intention of Liu Qi's strategy...by delaying the order to Qu Duan to continue the muddy mud.

Of course, for many savvy political animals in the hall, Liu Qi's reconciliation may have another consideration about being handsome.

Regardless of the rumor, if the Zhao official’s family decides to go to the battle, he will personally come to the front line, or he will be in charge of Yuwen Xu, but in any case, just as before in Yanling, only Yue Fei could be the commander, the front line always needs a military commander. The superior is in charge of taking the place of command, and the importance of this military commander's position naturally does not need to be said.

So, when Han Shizhong could not leave the same state easily, Liu Qi’s eldest brothers Liu Xi, Qu Duan, and Wang Yuan were theoretically candidates for the three actual coaches... Today, Wang Yuan’s performance is outstanding, almost overwhelming the only opposition. Liu Ziyu, as Liu Xi's younger brother, at this time the tribe Qu Duan went south, naturally fascinating.

But having said that, these things that are not on the stage, except Liu Ziyu who is generally merciless, no one will directly break them. Moreover, at this time, it does need to be used with muddy means. But Liu Qi's idea is considered from a military point of view. This is a good idea, so even Liu Ziyu didn't say anything unexpectedly. Zhao Jiu immediately followed his kindness and directly asked Kobayashi to write a few letters to Qu Duan and Wu brothers on the spot.

And just as Mr. Kobayashi continued to write and the "Ribao Junyi" continued, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall.

Everyone didn't care about this, as if they had become accustomed to it.

After all, it’s already quite late, and the soldiers and horses in and out of Chang'an City are gathered and guarded closely. There will be a curfew at night. At this time, the commotion can only be an emergency military situation. In fact, similar situations have been encountered many times before, such as the Dragon Boat Festival. After the holiday, the main force of the Golden Army left Baishui City and crossed Xiaobaishui to the south. At that time, officers from all quarters of the front line were busy sending messages.

Therefore, both the upper and the lower were silent together. Except for Kobayashi, who continued to write, they only waited for Yang Yizhong to go out and hand over the papers in person.

After a while, Yang Yizhong hurried back and brought a paper with him, but Zhao Jiu took a look and opened it. With a move in his heart, he laughed on the spot and spoke directly:

"Who do you recognize Li Yongqi?"

Many people in the seat looked at each other, and almost everyone from the Western military background, from the brothers Liu Xi and Liu Qi, to the Tian Shi sitting in the door, to Yang Yizhong standing next to Zhao Jiu, almost all of them gave their hands together. Speak out.

It was Yu Wen Xuzhong who was also facing each other: "The minister also knows that this person is from the Suide army. He is a local party tycoon. After the Lou family occupied Yan'an last time, his entire clan was isolated in the rear, and he directly attracted the tribe. I voted for Xixia, because it is a party clan, so it is quite reusable. Lou Shi also has an ambiguous relationship with Xixia and never pursued it. However, not long after that, Li Yongqi sent people to hide silk with wax **** and sent the documents to the minister. It is said that it is concerned about the country, but because the officials have a will not to allow gold to be paid, they are afraid that they will not be able to see each other in the future, so imitated Huang Quan to vote for Wei Yunyun...The minister used him to invite Xixia to send troops before, but Xixia did not agree."

Zhao Jiu nodded slightly and asked Yang Yizhong to forward the document to Yu Wen Xuzhong, who was the first on his left, but he spoke with emotion:

"Xixia did not agree, so he agreed without authorization. Hu Yin's urgent document is here, saying that Li Yongqi saw that Xixia had no intention of sending troops to attack gold, so he simply falsely transmitted the will of Xixia Kingdom and took more than 4,000 local war horses. There were more than two thousand subordinates in the headquarters, and then detoured westward along Hengshan to the south. They scattered their wealth along the way, recruiting the Hengshan tribe while resisting the chasing soldiers. When Gyeongju was accepted by the Wu Rin branch, the soldiers and horses had reached the four thousand full Count, and all are cavalry...you say, is this person credible?"

The whole hall was silent.

On the one hand it was consternation and on the other it was suspicion.

The consternation is of course understandable. This kind of story of returning to the country is almost a bridge in the history books. It happened to people I know. It always feels a bit absurd and unbelievable; and the suspicion is understandable. The party members have dropped Xixia. , And once instigated the room not to kill, and suddenly returned to such a critical point, what if it is a spy? Who is responsible?

In fact, Li Yanxian did similar things in Shanzhou that day. When he swept Shanzhou in the Lou room, he asked part of the Song army who was going to enter the mountains with him to fight guerrillas to drop gold, and then this group of people became Shaanxi. As a result of the state defenders, Li Yanxian leans directly into the city as soon as Lou Shi transferred to Guanxi.

So if this Li Yongqi is the spy arranged by Lou Shi, who is in charge?

But if it is not, can this math problem in the decisive battle of Song Jin Guanxi be recalculated?

"The minister thought it was credible." After a long while, Liu Ziyu was the first to speak as a guarantee. "Also when employing people, it's a good time to reward people and use them boldly to make money and buy bones."

"Why is Yan Xiu so sure?" Zhang Jun asked his friends in a serious face.

"Two reasons." Liu Ziyu faced each other solemnly. "For one thing, at that time, the Jinjun’s surrender and trespasses were kept in the minds of the Kansai vassal vassals. This was the reason that the vassals were able to preserve the military power of the three states. It was only after the Yanling battle that they were too lazy to go north. Puppet Qi is nothing more than... dare to ask, if Li Yongqi really had the idea of ​​lowering gold, the Jinren gave him the entire Suide army at that time, and there was nothing wrong with it. Why did the family go north into Xixia? Was it a god? At that time, Yanling was defeated, and the last big invasion ended in fruitless?"

This analysis is justified and convincing. In fact, from a rational point of view, Zhao Jiu and many of you here have already believed it at this time.

However, Liu Ziyu did not stop because everyone nodded and approved, but continued to say with a little difficulty: "Secondly, the actions of the Li and his sons seem to be amazing, but is there really no loyal ministers and good generals dedicated to serving the country? I thought that Ma Kuo would go to jail for his ministers and his sons, but he was released by the Jinren, and befriended the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin. He could be prosperous and wealthy and enjoy peace, but instead abandoned his family and abandoned his son and went to the Wuma Mountain to fight against the gold for five or six years. , The red heart has not changed... Isn’t it an ordinary behavior compared with the Li family? Besides, the only death that has been difficult since ancient times, the Li family’s father and son’s move is better than the Jingkang martyrs, the Taiyuan war dead, and the Huai Shang war dead. What is so suspicious about those who died in the battle at Baihe in Nanyang, and those who died in the battle at Yanling City?"

Zhang Jun hesitated to say something but stopped, and many of the civil and military who had experienced those things in the hall were also awe-inspiring, and even the generals of Guanxi were silent.

It was Zhao Jiu who also stared at Liu Ziyu and nodded slowly:

"That's it, let Li Yongqi act with Wu Lin, Lin Qing, and add a will, according to Li Yongqi's original martial arts rank to be promoted to three levels, and add him as the commanding officer to know the security forces."

Everyone is speechless, and Bachelor Kobayashi also keeps on writing...In order to minimize the exposure of Zhao Guan’s family to Chang’an, this level of daily meeting is generally not accompanied by a living man, and only Bachelor Kobayashi can work hard alone. Up.

However, after the hard work, after Wu Jie's victory, the surrounding news was mostly good news. Everyone gradually lost the strong sense of tragic and solemnity caused by the official trusting the loneliness and the panic caused by the pressure of the golden army. , It is also a fact.

In a word, no matter what, compared to the original pessimistic premonition, the situation is always getting better, otherwise most people will not gradually tend to send troops, and then only Liu Ziyu, a heavy minister, is still adhering to a conservative strategy.

And just in such an atmosphere, everyone gradually realized that the attitude of the official is the final decision, and a small number of them are even more awakened. The official has already made a decision, just waiting for some exceptions. Support something other than Wei Jun.

Before that, it seemed difficult for this official to finally express his stance.

Of course, there are still a few people in today’s hall who understand what Zhao Guan’s family is waiting for. Both Yang Yizhong and Zhang Xian, who has just arrived, know that the official family is waiting for the results of Yue Fei’s crossing the river, and Zhang Xian even knows that his brother had prepared. Cross the river in these few days.

"What's the matter today?" Just when everyone was almost ready to end this unremarkable'daily military discussion', there was another noise in the mansion of the minister, and Yang Yizhong also went out to deal with the response again, see this shape , Yuwen Xianggong laughed first. "Could it be that where there are thousands more soldiers?"

Before everyone could laugh, they saw Yang Yizhong hurriedly holding up a document soaked in sweat, and waited again in awe.

But this time, under the eyes of everyone, Zhao Jiu opened it, and his complexion changed as soon as he saw it, but when his complexion recovered as usual, he tried to adjust his posture and look carefully under the light, but the letter paper in his hand was not secure for a while. , Landed on the spot.

The letter paper was thin, swaying slightly in mid-air, but it floated to one side, and Zhang Jun took the lead there, picked it up before Yang Yizhong, and took a look at it, and it was suddenly discolored.

Besides, the full house of civil and military personnel had been panicked by the traces of posture that the officials could hardly cover. At this time, seeing Zhang Jun's failure made him even more panicked.

"It's me who lost my mind." At this moment, Zhao Jiu sighed before Zhang Jun. "Actually, it should have been expected...to keep it from you, this is Li Yanxian's urgent report. Ping Lu just fell out today."

Tang Zhongwu sighed each, but they were also relieved:

The fall of Pinglu means that the only large-scale stronghold of the Song Army on the north bank of the Yellow River has also disappeared. It also means that the main force of the more than 100,000 Golden Army in Hedong has completely smoothed the road behind them and will soon be able to advance westward, and since ancient times, it has moved from the east side of the river. Guanzhong is unstoppable, and Han Shizhong can only delay one or two.

However, Pinglu's fall was as expected, but Hedong had been tolerant before, and suddenly exerted strength and was defeated in a battle, which made people have to face up to the level of the third crown prince Erriduo.

Yang Yizhong took the letter paper from Zhang Jun, who was speechless, and directly returned it to the calming Zhao official's house. The latter took the letter paper in the seat, grabbed it, and didn’t look at it any more. He just shook his head repeatedly, as if unwilling in his heart. Nothing more:

"I thought Pinglu would be able to support it for a few more days... but after Pinglu was lost, the Hedong army would cross the river in a large scale at any time, but I had to make plans early... It was Lou Shi. At this time, it seems that some are waiting for reinforcements. It means that if you drag it on, it will definitely change."

Everyone moved slightly in their hearts, many people wanted to take the opportunity to speak, and Liu Ziyu also wanted to talk, but the ghosts were so awkward, he actually looked at Zhang Jun first, but Zhang Deyuan just returned to the seat in a daze, which made Liu Yanxiu stunned for a while. , And then thoughtfully.

"Fine!" At this moment, the Zhao Guanjia obviously lost patience, but he waved his hand to let the crowd disperse. "That's it for today...Lin Qing brought me the will! Zhengfu (Yang Yizhong) went to find the messenger, so that he can settle down well, and don't spread the failures ahead."

The front was defeated, the officials were in a bad mood, and everyone had no choice but to say goodbye. Yang Yizhong went out early to find the messenger.

However, when the people disperse, Kobayashi's academician stepped forward with the will, Zhao Jiu's expression remained unchanged, but he directly said astonishing: "Lin Qing, tore up the will and rewrite a few copies, it is for Hu Yantong who is stationed in Weiqiao. Go south to Lantian overnight! Send a decree to Li Yanxian again, telling him that I know that Pinglu has been lost, and let him deal with it, but in the future, he must be careful to reply to the words from the Kansai side!"

Lin Jing was silent, and immediately tore off the paper to his face, then sat back in his position to write a new decree, and at this moment, Yang Yizhong also hurried away and returned.

"Wait a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yuwen Xianggong and Zhang Xian will come back. If the people who went out before come back, let them in directly without making any noise! ​​Send a proper officer to Lantian to call for Yantong, and directly receive all relevant Eastern documents there. , Then transfer it over." Zhao Jiu was right, shocked that Yang Yizhong didn't even dare to answer, so he turned and left.

In this way, Zhao Jiuku sat for a while, but as expected, someone hurriedly turned back. It was Zhang Jun, the Bashu Fifth Transit Envoy who accidentally saw the content of the letter before.

"Officials, how can it be done?" Zhang Jun re-entered the door, and Zhang Jun's panic remained undiminished.

"Your appearance will only make people laugh." Zhao Jiu confronted seriously. "Lao Su said that Taishan collapsed in the past and the color remains unchanged, and the elk is prospering and not blinking. This kind of thing is almost no one can do, but as a minister of the state, he was a little frightened at first when he heard the news, but it was done. , Why are you still in a panic now? Being seen by the generals below, I am afraid that I will be even more at a loss."

Zhang Jun's face was red at the time, but he managed to sort it out. After taking a few deep breaths, he once again gave up his hands in the empty hall: "Officials, dare to ask how to respond? The minister will die!"

"Don't let you die," Zhao Jiu shook his head. "As for how to deal with it, there is one more thing I have to decide before I can explain it to you."

Zhang Jun was slightly startled, puzzled for a while, just about to ask again, but unexpectedly a little movement behind him resumed. Looking back, it was Yang Yizhong who led his friend Liu Ziyu to return.

"Officials!" Liu Ziyu handed over as soon as he returned. "The minister and Deyuan usually met. I saw him gaffes just now. I guessed a little bit. I asked the official to tell me directly. Where is the military situation?"

"Let's wait for Yuwen Xianggong and Zhang Xian." Zhao Jiu shook his head again.

Liu Ziyu had no choice but to take care of Zhang Jun, and then force patience.

But just when the two were preparing to take their seats, Yang Yizhong introduced a third person in, and this person was really beyond Zhao Jiu's expectations.

"His Majesty!"

Lizhou Road Jinglue made Liu Qi directly kneel on one knee in the hall, paying respects. "The minister takes the liberty... But if there is something wrong with the situation, the minister is a military minister, and he should serve the country and your majesty!"

After saying that, his person didn't wait for Zhao Jiu to speak, he took the initiative to get up and stepped back, and then went straight out of the hall... Obviously, he knew that he didn't need to and was not qualified to participate in the final decision.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Jiu rarely sighed.

After waiting for another moment, Yang Yizhong finally brought Yu Wen Xuzhong and Zhang Xian back.

"Zhang Xian." Zhao Jiu was extremely quick. "I only ask you one thing, you try to answer as much as possible, do you think Yue Pengju has already crossed the river at this time?"

Upon hearing this, except for Yang Yizhong, Xiaolin Bachelor, and Zhang Xian himself, everyone else changed their colors.

"A good instructor knows..." Zhang Xian took a deep breath and barely faced each other. Obviously, he was a little caught off guard because of the abruptness of the problem. "The minister guessed that he should have crossed the river!"

"How do you say?" Zhao Jiu kept asking.

"The minister didn't know the specific situation, but before leaving early, he mentioned about it, saying that he would cross the river in early May..."

"The note he gave me refers to early May."

"That means that you have to cross the river to Xiangzhou in the first ten days of this month, and you can launch an attack." Zhang Xian was suddenly shaken when he heard this. "Because of brother minister...because Yue Shuai never wastes time with soldiers, does not do redundant things, and does not act in a vague manner."

"But today is the seventh day of May..." Zhao Jiu couldn't help but help each other. "Tomorrow is only the eighth day of May."

"For the minister, he is afraid that there will be more river crossings on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May." Zhang Xian also seemed helpless. "But the officials really want to ask seriously, and the ministers are just guessing."

"Let's go!" Zhao Jiu raised his hand to face each other. "Don't talk about things with others today, and keep a low profile on the way back to the barracks."

Zhang Xian will say goodbye immediately.

"Officials!" Liu Ziyu was extremely serious. "What happened? What happened to Yue Fei's crossing the river?"

Zhao Jiu, who did not get a definite answer, held his forehead and said nothing.

But Zhang Jun, who was gradually calming down, got up helplessly, but he said something to the inexplicable Yu Wen Xuzhong and the serious-looking Liu Ziyu:

"The Jin army did not capture Pinglu, but succeeded in smuggling Changquan!"

"Where is Changquan?" Liu Ziyu didn't react for a while.

"Northwest of Luoyang, south of Wangwu Mountain, Yellow River Ferry." Yu Wenxu, who had been fighting between the two Beijings for decades, looked pale and blurted out. "Luoyang is in danger!"

Liu Ziyu's figure shook, and his face was bloodless. Only half a day ago he lost his voice and said, "No wonder that hundreds of thousands of hedgehogs gather in Hedong, but even Ping Lu can't beat him, and he didn't increase his troops from Longmen. I'm afraid it will be early. I watched under Wangwu Mountain..."

"They saw Long Yu and thought I was there." Zhao Jiu, who hadn't reacted for a long time, suddenly said while closing his eyes. "Everyone in the world thinks I'm there!"

"The key is how to deal with it?" Yu Wen Xuzhong forced his heart to fluster and was serious.

"It's just two roads." Liu Ziyu also calmed down. "One sent a large army to rescue Luoyang; the other pretended not to know, and went to Baishui to find an opportunity to fight... the official!"

"What do you think?" Zhao Jiu simply replied.

"In fact, the Jin army may not be able to get past many soldiers." Liu Ziyu thought about it for a while, and then persuaded. "Because they are short of ships! It is better to send troops to rescue! But Yue Pengju..."

"If the enemy has few troops, the Zhai brothers can resist it. If the enemy has a large number of troops and the passage in Mianchi is narrow, once the Jin army is blocked, it will not be able to dispatch troops from Shanzhou in time. Therefore, we can only count on the soldiers and horses around Tokyo from Bianshui. Shut down and save." Zhao Jiu raised his head to face each other. "But the question is, did Yue Pengju survive this time? How many soldiers are left?"

"If you cross over, you won't lose money!" Zhang Jun gritted his teeth. "Many of the East Route Army came from Hebei. Knowing that Hebei was raided, I am afraid that it is no less panic than us..."

"No." Yu Wen Xuzhong kept shaking his head. "If Yue Fei crosses the river, Tokyo will be empty instead."

"Officials, what is the matter of Yue Peng crossing the river?" Liu Ziyu also thought of the key.

"It's not that he rushed to think and sent troops without authorization, but the last time Zhang Rong burned Xiao Wu Yu. Before Lou Shi went south, I had some discussions with him about taking the initiative to cross the river." Zhao Jiu frankly told him. "Before leaving this time, I was determined to stay in the Kansai region and had a word with him. At that time, I thought that if he succeeded in going out of Hebei, he would be able to contain the Hedong Golden Army on three sides with Han Shizhong, Li Yanxian, and Ma Kuo. If Kansai can gather strong soldiers, he will simply win a battle; even if Kansai cannot fight here, he will be able to shake the Golden Army if he goes out of Hebei, and it will lead the Golden Army in Hedong to divide its forces relative to each other... Just like the Beiwei Army, I I have never talked about this with other people. He mentioned it in the daily newspaper before, and they were all hidden by me."

Liu Ziyu didn't know what to say for a while...Because this plan certainly did not conform to his insistence, Zhao Guan's concealing many things from his subordinates was also unsatisfactory, but he also had to admit that this was a really good plan. Because once it succeeds, it is indeed enough to share the pressure here in Kansai, and to maximize Zhang Rong's water advantage.

"The minister took the liberty." At this moment, the scholar Kobayashi, who had been bowing his head and writing his will, suddenly stood up. "The officials thought that Taiwei Yue was already crossing the river."

Zhao Jiu and the others were stunned to face each other:

"How did you know?"

"Officials, I take the liberty of guessing." Scholar Kobayashi handed over. "After Xiao Wuxun, the Jinjun had no ships, and Changquandu was the westernmost part of Xijing. It was on the edge of the patrol of the imperial naval forces. This time it was possible to sneak across the river, probably because Taiwei Yue was crossing the river with Taiwei Zhang's boat. For the sake of it."

Everyone was silent for a while, but no one could refute it.

And Zhao Jiu gave birth to a sense of absurdity. The enemy's successful strategy was due to the success of his own party's strategy. What is this, do you sting each other?

They all got to the point.

Everyone gradually calmed down, but they focused on Zhao Guan's family.

"In that case, this matter cannot be called a gain or loss. It's just that the battle is getting fiercer and it is not controlled by manpower?" Zhao Jiu thought for a long time, only to stand up from his seat and sigh slightly, and then walk towards with his hands. Outside the hall.

Several ministers who can be called the real decision-making level of Kansai hurriedly followed.

Besides, Zhao Jiu walked out of the hall with his hands in his hand, walked to the courtyard, looked up, and saw that under the night, the Milky Way traverses and the stars are dotted, and in the summer evening, the night breeze is much more refreshing than the indoors... It made him look silly for a while.

The official blew for a while and watched the Milky Way for a long time before looking at the sky and sighing: "This is Chang'an, Guanzhong. Since ancient times, those who win Guanzhong have won the Central Plains, and then the world! So Guanzhong must not be lost. So after I arrived in Chang'an, don’t look at secretly deploying troops and generals. It seems to be how to do it, but only to prepare for when necessary. In fact, there is really Yan Xiu’s thoughts inside, and I am ready to spend and drag on with the Jin army. , Compare Dili, see who can't hold on first..."

"Officials." Liu Ziyu was surprised when he heard this.

"But what happened today has made me realize that this is a national war, and that both sides have devoted their efforts to a national war. Although both sides have not yet fully engaged in the war, they are just being careful and careful, but they can take a little action. , But destined to involve each other, and then lead to a mess..." Zhao Jiu continued to look at the sky and said. "Zhuqing, some things are regular, just if the child falls to the ground and the sun and the moon change in general, we can't avoid it!"

"His Majesty."

Liu Ziyu's complexion became more and more severe, and at the same time, Yu Wen Xuzhong, Zhang Jun, Lin Jingmo, and Yang Yizhong were all silent, just looking at the back of the young official to listen to the lecture.

"I have said more than once before that if you want to defeat the Jinren, you must have the mind to fight for a long time." Zhao Jiu ignored Liu Ziyu, but finally turned around to look at several important officials. "It's still the same view today. But the question is, time and time again, when the Jin army comes in person, which time can it be consumed by consumption? It is a national strategy, and it shouldn't be during a war. Choosing...The war has progressed so far. We have some wealth and some daring troops. Why do we think that we should wait on our side instead?"

Liu Ziyu no longer speaks, he has already said everything he can say, but the others have already looked serious, and only Zhao Jiu talked endlessly:

"The current situation is that Luoyang, as the middle section of the defense line, may have been breached by the Jin Army, and the Kanto will be inevitably shaken. However, Yue Pengju is also likely to have successfully crossed the river to Hebei, forming a strategic restraint on the main force of the Hedong Jin Kingdom. And Kansai. Here, we temporarily have a temporary military advantage... Then if the local battlefield is favorable, why should we spend it and wait passively? Waiting? When the situation gets worse, Lou Shi takes the initiative to lead the army to attack the city, or waits for Lou Shi himself Suddenly died like Zhuge Liang?"

Having said that, Zhao Jiu laughed himself, but the laughter stopped immediately:

"Wang Yuan wanted to be a marshal without mentioning it. His words are actually reasonable, and Yan Xiu's words are also reasonable. Everyone is guessing, and they don't know what the other party can do. So, just as Yan Xiu said repeatedly In the same way, a field attack is a gambling on the national fortune. I think it’s not wrong at all. It’s a gambling on the national fortune and betting on my own life! But the question is, can we not bet? Or should we not dare to bet? Shouldn’t bet? Lost the bet. How is it, death?"

"Others don't know, but this time, I am really not afraid of death, let alone betting!"

"You are all settling accounts for me, one person with one algorithm, but are we the only people with an account? These days, we always talk about strategy and military strength, but we have asked the people of Kansai about their military strength. The children of Guanxi in China, ask the refugees in Hebei who are among the troops, and the ghosts and ghosts who have been slaughtered in the Central Plains, are they willing to wait any longer? Do you want to watch us gamble?!"

"You always want to know how the accounts in my heart are calculated, and you always feel that the accounts in my heart should be filled with people from all over the world, how delicate, so righteous, and so considerate..."

"Not so much! The account in my heart has already been settled in Tokyo, and I have made it clear...that is, for a person in the district, what kind of Song should be left for future generations? What image should I leave for my children and grandchildren? That's all!"

"I just said that my heart today is the same as on the way to escape that day... I would rather die to be called Zhao Lie than to sit in the name of Gaozong... I hope you are the same as that day."

Hearing this, whether Liu Ziyu, Yu Wen Xuzhong, Zhang Jun, Lin Jingmo, Yang Yi, etc. are all ready to speak.

However, Zhao Jiu had already been non-stop for a while, and continued to speak awe-inspiringly:

"My will has been decided, and the soldiers will go to war!"

After saying this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, the man turned around directly, passed through several already silent confidantes, and tried to return to the back hall.

But at this time, a gust of summer wind blew, and the official Zhao, who had already been confused by himself, was obviously a little awake, but he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. With a sneer, he turned around and added a sentence to the ministers. : "In any case, our army has more than 100,000 in this battle, and the Jin army plus the living girl is only 40,000. I have the advantage!"

PS: Thank you for the 80th Meng Aston Magistrate first, and then thank the 81st Menglinghu No. 1 Middle School, and thank you for your support.

Then I’m sorry these few days, mainly because the day before yesterday, I got sick from blowing the air conditioner, and I had a headache and stuffy nose for two or three days, and the uncomfortable feeling of not getting better or worse, it is difficult to maintain that tiredness, for everyone. explain.

Finally, I will add another patch. The book friend Xiangwang reminded that Xiaxi Road was split in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and Xingyuan Mansion, which is Hanzhong, should belong to Lizhou Road at this time. Therefore, Liu Qi should be the Lizhou Road Manager. , I have corrected it and will pay attention to it in the future. Welcome everyone to continue to help me point out the mistakes.

I forgot to wish everyone a good Dragon Boat Festival!
