...

In the large tent of the Chinese army of the Koryo and Taifeng coalition forces.

Seeing that the personal soldiers brought in a special envoy holding a gold medal, Tuo Junjing frowned!

It's not that Tuo Junjing doesn't know that the capital city of Xijing is in danger, and it's not that he doesn't want to go back to save it, but he has to be able to leave.

Liu Kai on the opposite side, although young, is very experienced in using troops, and he will not give them the slightest opportunity. Attack, in this case, if he dared to take the risk and then retreat, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.

During this period of time, despite the huge consumption of supplies, which will soon be difficult to support, Ke Tuo Junjing has been avoiding a decisive battle with Liu Qi.

As a famous general in all battles, Tuo Junjing has a very clear intuition - in this case, once he has a decisive battle with Liu Qi, the coalition forces may face annihilation.

Therefore, despite the difficult situation, Ke Tuo Junjing is still looking for opportunities to defeat Liu Qi while guarding against death.

But at this moment, the Liangshan army actually sent a partial division to attack Xijing, the heart capital of Goryeo, from the north!
Once they are succeeded by that partial division, then their Goryeo will undoubtedly lose—the country is gone, how can they, these rootless ducks, win?

Therefore, despite the danger of being defeated, Ke Tuo Junjing is still actively planning to retreat.

……

Qiao Daoqing and Liu Kai stood on the watchtower to observe the changes of the coalition forces on the opposite side through the binoculars.

Qiao Daoqing looked at it for a while, and said, "I don't see any sign of them retreating."

Liu Kai said firmly: "They will definitely withdraw, it is a matter of time and method."

Qiao Daoqing said: "I agree with your judgment. After all, Yue Fei and the others have already reached Anbei Mansion. If it is fast, they can attack Xijing in three or two days. But Tuo Junjing is a famous general in Korea after all. How could he retreat without knowing it? Will it cause a total rout?"

Liu Kai said: "Tuo Junjing has no choice. If Yue Fei and the others break through Goryeo Xijing, then they will be rootless and will be wiped out by us sooner or later. Instead of doing this, it is better to take a risk and fight."

Qiao Daoqing thought for a while and said, "Then how about sending someone to recruit them?"

Liu Kai sighed, and said, "I have been sent three times, but they were all beheaded by Tuo Junjing."

Qiao Daoqing frowned and said, "Tuo Junjing doesn't give himself a way out?"

Liu Kai said: "A famous general should have the integrity of a famous general. He can be defeated, but he must never surrender."

Qiao Daoqing tasted Liu Kai's words, and thought to himself: "This kid can't be talking about himself, right?"

Shaking his head, Qiao Daoqing said, "Then how are you going to fight?"

Liu Kai said: "Since the deputy marshal is here, the last general will naturally follow your orders."

Qiao Daoqing smiled and said: "I don't have experience in commanding an army of more than [-], so I can't command this battle. Besides, before I came, the marshal had already said that this battle is still under your command. I just help you coordinate the various armies. .”

Hearing what Qiao Daoqing said, Liu Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Qiao Daoqing would take over his command, because he had full confidence over Tuo Junjing.

This is not because Liu Kai thinks that his own ability is better than Tuo Junjing's, but that the situation of the two sides is very different.

Let's talk about the Koryo and Taifeng coalition forces first.

Goryeo's Western Army is indeed a strong army, but it is full of battles and calculations. The Goryeo Western Army is now less than [-]. The remaining Forbidden Army and Taifeng Army are mostly superficial, and their combat effectiveness is really limited.

Let's talk about Liang Shanjun's side.

Although in terms of numbers, the Liangshan army is much smaller than the Koryo and Taifeng coalition forces, but almost all of the Liangshan army is elite, elite in hundreds of battles, and there are [-] to [-] horse troops. coalition forces.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that the Liangshan army was not in a hurry for a decisive battle, if it wasn't for the longer the delay, the better for the Liangshan army, if it wasn't for the fear of giving Tuo Junjing a chance to turn defeat into victory, Liu Kai could take the initiative to attack, and he would have a great chance of winning.

but--

Soldiers, the country's major events, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be observed.

Moreover, Liu Kai was determined, because Yue Fei had already gone straight to Huanglong, so Tuo Junjing must be in a hurry at this time.

If you are in a hurry, you will definitely show your flaws!

Therefore, as long as the Liangshan army doesn't mess around and stays steady, they will surely make a move when it's time to do so, and they will surely win this battle!

Liu Kai said: "Marshal Xie and the deputy marshal trust the young general."

Qiao Daoqing smiled and said: "You don't need to thank us. First of all, you came up with the imperial pen, saying that you should trust young people, and you, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei were specifically named. How dare we disobey your wishes? Second, your battle Well done, we have played against Tuo Junjing, we know how difficult he is, but you beat him for a while when you came, and you have not lost the wind in several fights since then, we have seen all of these, to be honest, We are not as good as you."

Hearing that it was Li Yan's intention, Liu Qi was secretly touched and said, "Your Majesty is indeed so wise!"

Any force will have factions, which is unavoidable.

These newly rising young officers like Liu Qi are actually the faction of the First Army, which belongs to the Central Forbidden Army, and the first, second, third, and fourth chambers belong to the Frontier Army.

However, due to the peculiar territory of Shuibo Liangshan and Mr. Li Yan's wandering around, it finally became that the Central Forbidden Army has been fighting outside, and the frontier army is more like the Central Forbidden Army.

Long story short, Liu Kai and his young officers of the First Army do not belong to the same faction as Li Yan's old brothers.

Moreover, those old brothers of Li Yan were senior and senior, they used to call Li Yan brothers and sisters, and they had worked hard to guard the frontier of Shuibo Liangshan for several years.

fortunately--

Li Yan took all these into consideration, and Liu Kai was also recognized by Li Yan's old brothers!
Liu Kai said modestly: "The deputy marshal is humble. Back then, you assisted the emperor and used only tens of thousands of horses to conquer nearly half of the land of Koryo and laid down the foundation of Liangshan for thousands of years. How can we juniors compare with it. "

Qiao Daoqing said: "We were lucky back then, not like you are fighting tough battles now, forget it, let's not talk about us, I dived this time mainly for two things, the first one, Shi Bao and the others are ready to counterattack, they plan to destroy Tai Feng in a single battle, and they need your cooperation."

Liu Kai asked in surprise, "Shi Dutong is going to counterattack so soon?"

Qiao Daoqing said with a smile: "You don't know Shi Bao, it's good that he can bear it until now, if it wasn't for the delay of the fourth chamber, he would have counterattacked long ago."

Liu Qi had heard that Shi Bao was decisive in killing, and Li Yan once commented: "Shi Bao is my number one sharp sword."

Liu Kai has always been curious about Shi Bao, and wanted to find a chance to meet Shi Bao, and this time he finally had the chance.

Qiao Daoqing put away his smile, and said again: "The second matter, after the court's discussion, it was decided that Kaijing City will be handed over to Shi Bao to capture it, and you will be responsible for defeating Tuo Junjing."

After hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help frowning, "I'm close, but Shidu is far away. Why does the imperial court seek far away?"

Qiao Daoqing said: "Don't think about it, the court made this decision not against you, but because the Koryo army and the Taifeng army, especially the latter, have committed numerous crimes in Lelang and Zhenfan counties. Liangshan wants blood debts to be paid in blood... This is what your majesty means."
