Qiming 1158

Chapter 917 Go to Lin'an City and show some color to Zhao Guan's house!
Right now, Zhao Tan has stopped listening to any valuable advice, and he stubbornly believes that what he has done is the most correct.

He didn't want to hear any other advice, and in a panic, he thought that only a court that did what he was told would give him a sense of security.

The three were unable to persuade them, and in the end they could only agree to send [-] troops to take the initiative.

This is the largest number of men they can send out.

Yet they didn't even know where the enemy had appeared, nor how many.

But because they could only use so many troops to attack, they used so many troops to attack, and by the way, they were given the task of spying, so that they could figure out where the enemy was.

This is very important.

The Privy Council, which should have provided military advice to the emperor, has now become a tortoise under the leadership of Shi Hao. If the emperor does not speak, they will not speak.

Such as Yu Yunwen.

When he learned that the court decided to take the initiative to fight against the unknown number of thieves, he was shocked and immediately found Shi Hao, who had locked himself in the office and could not come out.

"It is very dangerous to send troops to fight when the enemy's situation is unknown. Although the situation is dangerous now, the Lin'an City wall is tall and reliable, and the moat is wide and deep. It is definitely not something that can be easily conquered.

The most important thing to do now is to stay calm. You should choose to defend the city with all your strength, wait and see the situation, and then quickly summon troops from the three towns in the south of the Yangtze River to come to help.

The strict defense of Lin'an City prevented the 6 Ming army from choosing to attack by force. The bandit army on Jiangnan West Road had not long ago launched an expedition of 5000 people for thousands of miles?The logistics needed for a thousand-mile expedition cannot be provided by Jiangnan West Road. The officials believe that they can only have a maximum of [-] people, and it is absolutely impossible to threaten Lin'an! "

Yu Yunwen's words are reasonable and well-founded, and Shi Hao also thinks what he said is reasonable and right, but Shi Hao did nothing.

"What else can I say now? It's just a guilty person waiting to be questioned. There's nothing to say, Binfu, nothing to do, just wait for the result."

Yu Yunwen was anxious and spoke again.

"Please don't give up. The matter is far from the seriousness of outsiders' speculation. As long as the pivot speaks, as long as the court is calm and calm, everything will be fine! They are just a group of daring madmen!"

Shi Hao shook his head.

"When you sit in my place, you will know a lot of things that are clearly right, but you can't do them. You can only watch the best and the worst happen, and then become the scapegoat."

Shi Hao said with a wry smile: "Binfu, do you know that when I met His Majesty to apologize before, His Majesty had already drawn a knife to me? It has reached this point, at this moment, how can I appear in front of him?"

Yu Yunwen was taken aback.

Even though Shi Hao is wrong, his diligence and seriousness in handling affairs are seen by the lower officials, and he is also the emperor's teacher. It is said that he played an irreplaceable role in the emperor's ascension to the throne.

For such a person, can the emperor draw his sword and treat him?
Have some of the rules of the Great Song court been irreversibly distorted?

Yu Yunwen looked at Shi Hao with a wry smile on his face, thought for a moment, silently closed his mouth, and stopped talking.

Although the decision of the Southern Song Dynasty court was outrageous, it is not surprising if you think about it carefully.

Because the central government of the Southern Song Dynasty at this moment is completely out of order and completely messed up, there is no unified command that can convince everyone to direct everyone's actions.

The Emperor Taishang escaped and died in the political circle of the Song Dynasty.

The emperor has six gods and no masters. He was beaten to the imperial capital by the enemy twice within two years of his succession. He looks like a subjugated country, which is really untrustworthy.

Lixia, the emperor's teacher, Guatian, was close to death because of his defeat in the war, and he also lost the trust of the emperor.

Prime Ministers and Prime Ministers are rubber stamps, without prestige and unconvincing.

And the only one who might be willing to stand up and take the blame, and who can also gain some trust from the people, Zhang Jun, was killed not long ago, and the grass on the grave has begun to thrive.

At this moment, the Central Court of the Southern Song Dynasty has reached the point where no one can stand up to stabilize the people's hearts and stabilize the situation and tell everyone that everything is not so bad.

No one can stand up, no one is willing to stand up, and no one can say anything that will convince everyone.

In fact, as long as they carefully analyze it, they can know that this enemy army cannot pose any threat to Lin'an at all, but such people do not exist.

Perhaps it was the fact that the Ming army was under the city, which caused them to develop serious PTSD, so that when they didn't even know how many people came from the peasant army or where they were, they had already decided in their hearts that the Southern Song Dynasty had lost.

Lost badly.

In the face of the army on Jiangnan West Road that had already launched a thousand-mile counteroffensive and had a smooth journey, the Southern Song Dynasty could not defeat it, only the strength to parry, but not to fight back, even Lin'an was dangerous.

Self-defeating means yes.

The attack of these 5000 people seemed to Zhao Yan a gesture, an attitude to let the officials know that he, the emperor, had not given up resistance.

So he must go to war.

He didn't even have the idea of ​​winning a battle to stabilize people's hearts. He just hoped that the army he sent out would be able to draw a tie with the incoming enemy army.

He didn't expect the general to be sent out to be Wang Ping, but only hoped that he was not Zhuge Zhan, that's all.

However, this chaotic command can only add to the chaos. Meng Chao, the general of Song who led the troops out of the city, even sent people to search for the enemy on the spot, to investigate where the enemy was and how many people there were, and then he could decide where to attack.

The news in the city was very messy, and there were all kinds of places, but there was no accurate information, but the general orientation was in the southwest, so Meng Chao had to lead his troops slowly to the southwest, looking for the enemy while advancing, very nervous.

Meng Chao was nervous, and Song Bing was even more nervous, because when they set off for the expedition, news spread everywhere in the city, and the number of enemy troops was also the hardest hit by rumors.

At first, it was not bad. It was said that there were [-] or [-] enemy troops, but later it became more and more outrageous, and it spread to the ears of the soldiers, and it became a hundred thousand soldiers directly under the city.

In terms of scaring himself and setting up obstacles, Southern Song said he was the second, and there were very few who could compete with it.

From any point of view, the actions of the Southern Song government can be regarded as out of line.

So the Song soldiers were very scared at the beginning of the fight. They were very worried that their active attack was an act of killing them. It was the people above who wanted to kill them. As soon as they left the city and started to march, people kept deserting the team and trying to survive.

Meng Chao didn't find out at first, and he didn't know about it until his own soldiers reported that someone had deserted, and he was furious.

Where in the world is there a situation where generals die and soldiers escape!
If you don't want to die with me, then die first!

Meng Chao decisively used the method of beheading to shock his army, so that the soldiers deserted the behavior less open and aboveboard.

But it is impossible to do more.

Xu Tong didn't know how much shock he had brought to the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty by showing some color to Zhao Guan's family. He only knew that his enemy search team had discovered a Song army of several thousand people who were heading towards them.

"It seems that Zhao Guan's family is still a little bit courageous, and sent people to confront us face-to-face, but... don't we have the courage?"

Xu Tong shouted loudly: "From the base camp to Lin'an, we are invincible! We are invincible! The Song army can't stop our advance! It's impossible to stop our progress! Charge forward! Overwhelm the Song army! Go to Lin'an city and show Zhao Guan's family a little color. Look!!"

"Show Zhao Guan's family some color!!"

The instructors and officers led the soldiers to shout together.

At this moment, it is a good time to condense the heart and soul of the army. This army seems to have an elite posture in the continuous progress, so Xu Tong cannot retreat.

With an order, the peasant army immediately formed a formation according to the formation, and after capturing the horses along the way, more than 500 cavalry organized on both sides of the formation, marched forward bravely under the leadership of Xu Tong.
