The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 245 Luzhou's Strategy
After leaving the palace, Zhao Tang first went to Fang Han's Privy Council to get the seal, and then went to Fan Quan's Palace Marshal's Mansion to assign troops to the camp to gather, and then went home, waiting for the formal appointment tomorrow.

Inside the house, Yao Pingzhong rides a horse, and Huang Gu dances a sword.

Zhao Tong stood there for a while and watched Huang Gu's swordsmanship, and said, "Isn't this Qingyouquan?"

Huang Gu danced and said, "Master, it's Qingyou Quan, now it's called Qingyou Sword."

Zhao Tang saw Huang Gu's sword dance getting slower and slower, and frowned, "Why did you slow down, you can't hold the black iron sword without a full meal in the morning?"

Huang Gu put away the sword awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "Master, I'm studying the broken knife style..."

"Broken knife pose?" Zhao Tun sneered: "Last year, I saw you did a broken whip pose, but I didn't see how good it was. Now you're studying the broken knife pose again?"

Huang Gu smiled embarrassingly: "There are few people who use whips, and it is difficult to find an opponent to practice. Most people use knives, so it is easier to study."

Zhao Tong said: "Isn't it true that the more people use it, the more difficult and complicated it is to break?"

Huang Gu said: "Master, that's not true. Although a weapon like a knife has more changes than a whip, it can be turned over and over again in the same way, chopping, wiping, chipping, picking..."

"When will the sword be broken?" Zhao Tang interrupted him.

"Broken sword?" Huang Gu immediately looked bitter when he heard the words, and said: "Master, you can't break the sword!"

Zhao Tong said, "How can you not break the sword?"

Huang Gu said: "Breaking a sword with a sword is like attacking a shield with your own spear. How do you break it?"

"You mean that the same weapons can't break each other, they can only fight with each other, and fight normally?" Zhao Tong said.

"Exactly..." Huang Gu said.

Zhao Tang touched his chin and said nothing, and walked into the middle hall with his hands behind his back.

There were no decorations in the middle hall, the mansion was just empty when it was moved in, all the valuable and useful things were removed by the original owner, Zhao Tuo looked around, did not call the two of them, went to the back to boil the pot by himself Tea.

While drinking, he thought about Li Zhu's words in the court hall, and thought to himself if he used the seven marksmanship to resist the enemy, how should the opponent use a sword to resist, after much deliberation, he felt that it must be a quick sword.

In fact, most of the short soldiers take the fast way, because the weight of swords, swords, hooks and rulers is not enough, and most of them hurt the enemy with their sharp edges, so they need to be fast.

Lianazha's sword is fast, and Zhong Lingxi's full moon knife is also fast.

As for the trick?Tricks are the means to break the fast track!
The tricks are exquisite, they can curb the opponent's fast lane, they can make up for their own lack of speed, and they can...kill people!
The same is true for using subtle moves to counter the invincible strength.

Generally speaking, the weight of the horse is heavy, and the weight of the horse is fast, but the tricks play the same role in it, restraining the force and restraining the speed.

So tricks are also important.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be that he is not as powerful or as fast as the opponent, so he can just admit defeat and don't need to fight again.

Zhao Tong thought about it for a long time. He had never seen Li Zhu make a move, so he couldn't judge how fast the opponent was. He thought he should ask Du Po.

After he finished drinking a pot of tea, Yao Pingzhong's voice came from outside: "Little Diya, are you looking for my master?"

Then came Di Ya's voice: "The general asked me to come over and ask General Li, saying that I have military information to ask for advice."

Yao Pingzhong smiled and said, "Little Diya, I just realized that your clothes are almost the same color as my horse, they are all apricot yellow!"

Dia said: "Big man, what do you mean?"

Yao Pingzhong said: "It's not interesting, it's true that the colors are similar!"

Dia said: "Big man, are you calling me a horse?"

Yao Pingzhong said: "I don't. Who told you to always wear yellow clothes? My horse's color can't be changed, but your clothes can be changed!"

"You!" Diya said angrily, "It's up to you to control what color I like to wear!"

Hearing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhao Tang walked out the door, looked at them and frowned.

Di Ya ran over and said, "General Li, Yao Meng bullied me!"

Yao Pingzhong muttered: "Who told you to ridicule me last time that this horse is of the blood of a hard-blooded horse..."

Zhao Tun glared at Yao Pingzhong, and said, "Diya, what's the matter with General Shangguan?"

Di Ya said: "The general said that he didn't quite understand the matter of leading the troops. He asked General Li to go over and ask for advice. He also said that he would invite General Li to eat roast lamb at night, and asked Yao Meng and the others to go over and help."

Zhao Tang nodded, now it's been a few days since Luzhou Lei, and he lived in the same hall as his minister and lived next door, it's normal to come and go, he said with a smile: "The whole sheep is not easy to buy now, your general has some tricks .”

Di Ya looked around and said in a low voice, "It was sent by the brothers and sisters of the family."

Zhao Tun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "With this method, they are no longer ordinary brothers and sisters."

Dia said: "General Li can see it in the past. It's such a big sheep. I have to go back and prepare."

After she said her farewell and left, Yao Pingzhong saw her go far away and approached her and said, "Master, do you have roast lamb?"

Zhao Tun nodded: "You and Huang Sheng get ready and go there together."

Huang Gu was fine, Yao Pingzhong gave Ma a good meal, and the two went out with Zhao Tian.

The mansion next door was also clean, except for Liyanazha's master and servant.

Liannazha changed into a bright dress, silver jewelry on her head, and a pair of white soft leather boots. Although her appearance has not changed, she has a cool demeanor and a slim and graceful figure.

Zhao Tong said: "Li Fei came late because of the invitation from General Shangguan."

The play that should be performed still needs to be performed. After all, the house is not big. If you are in the courtyard, if there are people outside the wall, it is very likely that you will hear it.

"I'm bothering General Li. I have never been in contact with soldiers. I don't understand some things. It would be reckless to ask General Li to ask for advice." Lianaza said calmly.

Zhao Tong nodded, lowered his eyes slightly, looked at Lianna's little white boots, and suddenly remembered the scene in the abandoned city of Longyou, and couldn't help feeling that time flies, and it was almost two years before he went to Longyou.

Seeing this, Li Yanaza said, "General Li, what are you looking at?"

Zhao Tong smiled, and Liannazha immediately took back the boots and said, "The sheep are behind, and Diya can handle it, but it's best to have someone help."

Zhao Tong looked back at Yao Pingzhong and Huang Gu, Huang Gu didn't say anything, Yao Pingzhong should be a good one, and there should be no one in the Western Army who can't roast sheep.

Seeing Zhao Tun's gaze, Yao Pingzhong immediately stepped forward and said, "You two generals, villains are good at this kind of thing, so I can help you."

Several people came to the backyard, which used to be a garden, but since Wang Qing attacked Huaixi, the previous owner ran away with his family, and the garden was deserted. Now weeds are overgrown and wild flowers are everywhere. On the tree, he was lowering his head and gnawing at the green grass below.

Yao Pingzhong's eyes lit up, and he said: "What a big fat sheep, this kind of sheep is rare in the city now."

Dia said: "Big man, is he really good at roasting sheep? Could it be bragging!"

Yao Pingzhong said: "It's such a small matter, there's nothing to brag about, just look at my means."

As he spoke, he picked up the tools beside him, and walked towards the fat sheep, and said as he walked, "I'm going to slaughter the sheep, Huang Sheng will dig a hole, and I'll make some charcoal fire with branches, Xiao Diya will bring all the salt and spices, by the way , take some vegetable oil as well."

When the two heard the words, they both went to do it.

Li Yanaza looked busy and said, "General Li, please sit in the room, I have something to ask for advice."

Zhao Tang followed Liyanazha back to the middle hall in front, and after closing the door, Liyanazha said: "Li Fei, the army of the Song Dynasty..."

Zhao Tong said, "I brought it."

Liana Zha said: "I said why you came to Luzhou to compete, so it was because of this plan."

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "Wang Qing must be wiped out, but..."

Lianazha said: "But I heard about the battle in Huaixi, it seems that your Imperial Army in Tokyo is far less good at fighting than the Western Army?"

Zhao Tun laughed, but said nothing.

Liyana frowned at him, and said for a moment: "Li Fei, aren't you very strategic? Why do you take such a risk? It's okay for ordinary people from Luzhou City to infiltrate. With your identity, if there is a mistake, why would you take such a risk?" No……"

Zhao Tong lifted Lianna's little boots with his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Adventures are just a matter of strength. Xiaoma sees Dama crossing the river and feels adventurous, but he doesn't know that the river only reaches Dama's waist. .”

Lianazha shook her head: "You're saying that I'm not strong enough, is that the pony? But I don't know that the river is also dangerous, and there are also ferocious beasts, so how can you judge whether you can cross the river by high or low?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said, "General Shangguan is worried about me?"

Liannazha said: "I'm too lazy to care about you, do you think you can beat that golden sword Mr. Li Zhu?"

Zhao Tong said: "Although Li Zhu is superb in martial arts, how can he decide the outcome of the battlefield? And I may not really fight against him. This time I entered Luzhou just to find an opportunity. Now you are in a better position than me. In charge of a city gate, Wang Qing handed over such an important task, but I did not expect it."

Liana Zha said: "Among the ten people, I am the only one who has the least flaws. It is rare for a woman to be a spy, and I am from outside the Northwest Song Dynasty, and this matter is not fake, not to mention... I am not a spy in the first place!"

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "It's true, if I were Wang Qing, I would trust you more than those small village leaders."

Lianazha said: "What are you going to do? The army is slowly pressing on Luzhou, is it possible to face the attack?"

Zhao Tong shook his head: "How is this possible? If that's the case, why should I sneak into Luzhou and just rush over to attack the city?"

Liyanazha seemed to be thinking of something, and snorted: "Longyou was playing tricks at that time, otherwise, with those barbarian troops, how could they be my opponent!"

Zhao Tong laughed and said, "I didn't come up with that plan, and that plan can only be used in a small place like Longyou Military City. It may not be successful in a larger area!"

Lianazha wondered, "If you didn't face the attack directly, why did you press into Luzhou?"

Zhao Tun thought for a while, and said, "Who said it must be pushing into Luzhou? Come and see."

As he spoke, he dipped his finger in the tea and tapped three dots at similar distances on the table, pointing to the top one and saying, "This is Haozhou."

Then he pointed to the point below and said, "This is Luzhou."

Then, he looked at Lianaza.

Lianazha looked at the water spot on the table and murmured, "I've seen the map of Huaixi Road, the other spot is... Shouzhou?"

Zhao Tong said: "It's Shouzhou. It was supposed to be promoted to Shouchun Mansion this year and regain the position of the capital of Huaixi, but Wang Qing made a mess and delayed the matter."

Li Yana stared at the water on the table and said: "Li Fei, what do you mean, it is fake that the army is suppressing Luzhou, but they are actually going to attack Shouzhou?"

Zhao Tun made gestures on the table with his fingers, and said: "Haozhou and Shouzhou and Luzhou are in a triangular terrain, the distance between them is not too different, Haozhou is at the top, Shouzhou is at the southwest, and Luzhou is at the bottom. What will happen if the army goes straight to Luzhou?"

Liyanazha has been in command since she was 13 years old, and has fought dozens of battles with countries in the Western Regions, even the Kara Khanate. Attack the Song army from front to back!"

Zhao Tong nodded and said: "That's right, so to fight Luzhou, we must first take Shouzhou, and if we don't recover Shouzhou, it will be difficult to fight Luzhou!"

Lianazha said: "So it's fake that the army is suppressing Luzhou, but they are actually going to take Shouzhou?"

Zhao Tong continued to nod on the table: "Right now, the slow march is just to confuse Wang Qing, when we get here..."

He moved his finger to a position and said: "The march to this place is the dividing line between Shouzhou and Luzhou. The army will turn around and rush straight to Shouzhou, and take Shouzhou City in the shortest time."

This was also Zhao Tama's final explanation before leaving Haozhou. As for what to do next, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and it was impossible to effectively predict it. It all depended on Zong Ze's arrangements.

How to attack Shouzhou, how long it will take, and how to plan for Luzhou after taking it, he handed over all these matters to Zongze.

It's not that he doesn't believe Liu Kai and Zhe Kecun. Fundamentally speaking, these two people's military background is better than that of Zong Ze, who was born as a scholar, and the two have rich experience in battle, and they are both seedlings of famous generals.

But because of this, there is no way to choose one or the other, and it is better to let Zongze take charge of overall planning.

Zhao Tang now only regrets that there are too few people who can be used under his command, especially those who understand military affairs and can command an army.

Some people related to him have not yet grown up, such as Yue Fei and Zhang Xian.

And Liu Kai and Zhe Kecun are the generals of the Western Army. They have their own power territory and involve a lot of interests. If they want to take it for their own use, it will not be possible in a short time.

There is also the issue of loyalty, even if the person is now under his command, being loyal to Da Song is not the same as being loyal to him, the king of Qi, Zhao Tuo. In the boundless and unknown future, this is very important.

At this time, Liyanazha looked at the three water spots on the table, and said: "Shouzhou should be taken first, and then the troops can be divided into three groups to outflank Luzhou. Ambush to the west, ambush the troops supported by Guangzhou and Shuzhou!"

Zhao Tun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he began to look up and down at Lianaza.

Li Yanaza looked at him unnaturally, and said, "Li Fei, what are you looking at?"

Zhao Tong said: "I only know that you have a headquarters, but I don't know anything else. Could it be that you often fought wars when you returned to Uighur?"

Liyanazha said: "It's quite rare to fight with you Longyou, except for those small countries, even the Black Khan Xixia has fought several times."

The Black Khan is the Kara Khanate, and the relationship with the Uighurs is extremely bad. They are like fire and water. They were defeated by the Uighurs a few years ago, but they did not admit defeat. Small-scale wars still occur on the border every year.

The smile on Zhao Tun's face became stronger, and Li Yanaza said: "You, you still watch..."

Zhao Tang saw that she was beautiful in color like a spring flower, and she was extremely shy, so he suddenly shook her slender hand and said, "Why don't you look at her pretty?"

Liyana Zatton felt the warmth in her hands, her heart fluttered, and she murmured: "I'm afraid you would talk like this when you see a beautiful woman..."

Zhao Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "What do other people have to do with me, don't you think Mr. Stealing Fragrance is really going to steal it all night?"

Lianazha bowed her head and said nothing, her eyelashes flickered slightly, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
