I am Da Song

Chapter 195

In Jingfu Palace, Zhao Huanping retired all the servants, only him and Yue Fei were left.

Standing in front of the huge map, Zhao Huan said to Yue Fei: "You and I are alone, and no one else is talking. You can speak freely without any scruples. Presumably, with my sincerity and trust in you, I should be worthy of your heart-to-heart."

A smile appeared on Yue Fei's face, and he said: "Since ancient times, there have been few courtiers who have received such preferential treatment and trust. In front of officials, why should I pretend to be cautious? You must speak frankly."

Zhao Huan also smiled lightly, without other people, he didn't need to put on airs anymore, he was also very relaxed, he could speak without his head, and directly reveal his heart.

Then he continued: "The imperial court's Northern Expedition did not go smoothly. Mr. Zong asked the imperial court to allocate funds to build a canal in Hebei. I am blunt, and I really do not want to agree. Once the corvée is recruited, it is bound to mobilize 10 people. The war will naturally With this stalemate, Hebei is bound to be affected by the war for a long time. It will not be able to recover for many years."

"I don't want to repeat the tragedy of the Anshi Rebellion. After years of fighting, Hebei was turned into a wasteland. Hundreds of miles of chickens and dogs were wiped out, and there were no people in the ruins."

Yue Fei frowned slightly, with a firm expression on his face, and asked, "What does the official mean?"

"I just want to hear your opinion. The Hebei war must be fought in this way? Do you have a better way to help me end the Northern Expedition quickly?"

Yue Fei said in embarrassment, "But Mr. Zong has already made such an arrangement. Is it inappropriate for me to reject it as soon as I arrive in Hebei and make another arrangement?"

Hearing this, Zhao Huan was in high spirits. Sure enough, Yue Fei had better arrangements, and immediately said: "Mr. Zong is a person who takes care of the overall situation. As long as the Northern Expedition wins and the court recovers the country quickly, Mr. Zong will not care about it."

But not everyone is Zong Xianggong.

Yue Fei was sure that if he came back from the south and immediately took over the war in Hebei and completely denied the previous deployment, there would be people who would be dissatisfied with him and feel that he was arrogant and contemptuous of others.

Yue Feitian is a genius, and his emotional intelligence is also first-class.

Just seeing the expectant eyes of the officials, Yue Fei still steadfastly withstood the pressure. After the life and death of the Gou Liguo (Harmony) family, there is no reason to be afraid of some material disputes.

Then Yue Fei said solemnly: "If the minister is in charge of the Northern Expedition, the deployment is indeed different from that of Mr. Zong."

"It doesn't matter what you say." Zhao Huan was overjoyed and said with a smile.

"Although Hebei is large, there are only a few key military towns. Mr. Zong chose to fight the Hejian Mansion, which is an old-fashioned and prudent method, which is indisputable."

"But it is precisely because of the righteous way of war that the Kingdom of Jin can face the battle with dignity and make full use of its cavalry advantages."

"I am a little younger, so my strategy may be radical. I will send a large army to advance in the Northern Expedition. At the same time, I will send a surprise army to march from Zhending Mansion to Yanyun."

"Into the territory of the Kingdom of Jin?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise.

Pointing to the map, Yue Fei said, "When Emperor Taizong made his Northern Expedition, the army also reached the city of Youzhou. The Imperial Army recaptured Yanyun the previous year and stormed Youzhou City. Youzhou is not a forbidden area in our dynasty, so we must not set foot on it."

But these two times, it was a fiasco that made Da Song unforgettable.

In the Battle of Gaoliang River, the Song army defeated the Khitan army in the early stage, fearing the enemy like a tiger, so that they "fleeed after the empty mountain".The angry Liao Jingzong scolded the army for "defeat when encountering the enemy".In desperation, the Liao Kingdom "recommended to abandon Youji and defend Songting and Hubeikou with soldiers."

However, Zhao Laoer's blind command made the Song army completely defenseless against the Liao reinforcements.He was hit by an arrow in the butt again, and drove furiously in the donkey cart.The main force of the Song army guarded the barracks all night, and the soldiers didn't know that their emperor was gone the next day!

In the end, the Song Army was defeated and returned, and the Song Army lost more than [-] people in the Battle of Gaoliang River.

Although there are more than [-] people, the loss is smaller than that of Zhao Huan's Northern Expedition.But it was indeed a great setback to the confidence of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty.

Not to mention the Song army's attack on Youzhou the year before last. The 20 army was defeated by the [-] remnants of the Liao Kingdom, and General Kai Wushuang stripped off the underpants of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty.

To be reasonable, during the Northern Expedition, all the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty thought that they could restore their homeland. They never thought that the army would march into Yanyun.

Seeing Zhao Huan's hesitation, Yue Fei explained: "Combining righteousness and winning by strangeness is the way to use troops. Since the majestic formation and the banner of righteousness cannot win, we must try to win by strangeness."

"The minister leads the elite to attack the Yanyun area, and the Kingdom of Jin is bound to shake the government and the public. The commander of the Kingdom of Jin, in order to quell the anger in the country, must lead his army back to the north quickly and wipe out our army."

"The intention of the Jin army is exposed, our army can calmly set up an ambush on the way, and the defeat is nine out of ten."

With just fit, with strange victory.

Zhao Huan was very moved, and the generals of Song Dynasty were not clear about this.

But no one sent this surprise soldier.It is because apart from Yue Fei, no general in the Song Dynasty dared to guarantee that he could lead the army to defeat the Jin army in a field battle where the fighters were changing rapidly.

Raiders go north, but they can't stick to the fortifications in the wild.

No matter how stupid the commander of the Jin army was, he knew how to send a cavalry to cut off the Song army's supplies a hundred miles away, and wait for the Song army to be trapped in the fortifications.

Only Yue Feitian is a genius, and the combat power of Shenwu's right army is unparalleled in the world, so he has the confidence to choose this combination of righteousness and oddness.

They had the courage to take the initiative to meet the Jin army and completely defeated the main force of the Jin army in the field.

Zhao Huan sat on the chair and thought silently for a long time, should he choose this strategy?

The advantage of this strategy is naturally that the Northern Expedition can be quickly ended, and Hebei can quickly regain lost ground.

But the downside is that if something goes wrong, the most elite Shenwu Youjun will be destroyed.The ghosts and monsters that Zhao Huan had suppressed with great difficulty would all jump out in an instant.The prosperous Song Dynasty fell apart in an instant.

In particular, Da Song has the strength to crush the Jin people by relying on national power. The two sides are exhausted in Hebei. Every day, Da Song's strength will increase by one point, and finally completely crush the Jin army.

After a long time, Zhao Huan got up, smiled and said to Yue Fei: "I heard that risks and benefits are always equal. If you want to get higher returns, you have to take some risks, so let's deploy according to your plan."

"I believe that with your talents, you will be able to end the war as soon as possible, save more civilians in Hebei, and make the world less suffering from chaos."

Yue Fei saluted solemnly, understanding the official's previous hesitation. After all, the official was entrusting the fate of the entire Song Dynasty and the safety of the world on his shoulders.

Then Zhao Huan got up and said: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest in time. Tomorrow, I will go to the Yuqian Armament Station with me, and I will give you some magic weapons to help the Shenwu right army defeat the main force of the Jin army in this battle.

No one in the military can guarantee a [-]% victory rate. Since Zhao Huan and Yue Fei believe that the victory rate is more than [-]%, it is worth giving it a go. Take them all out, and let the Shenwu Youjun fight against the Jin Army in the strongest state.
