Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 147 Decision Making
General Zhongshi Dao pointed at the battle map and explained everything to Earl Ying and Li Gang in detail.

Earl Ying saw the drawings on the battle map. At present, almost sixty-seven out of ten of the entire outer city had been drawn with red circles.

Every red circle means that it has been completely captured by the Jin army.

Just as Zhong Shidao was telling in detail the scene when the Jin army drove out of Tiefu Tu and attacked Chenzhou Gate.

Suddenly someone came from outside to report: "Report to the General! Weizhou Gate and Dailou Gate have been captured!"

Zhong Shidao's face darkened, he gritted his teeth and said: "The soldiers who were ordered to guard the two places quickly evacuated and gathered at Wansheng Gate as quickly as possible!"

After Zhong Shidao finished speaking, he looked at Li Gang and Earl Ying and said, "This battle is completely different from the previous one. My two lords, I have almost finished the story of the war."

"The most important thing next is to formulate a specific policy. You two come with me!"

Zhong Shidao picked up the sword on the table, drew it out, and quickly walked out of the military tent.

Li Gang and Earl Ying looked at each other, nodded immediately and followed Master Zhong's way out.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong followed closely behind.

Zhong Shidao led Li Gang and Earl Ying into a military tent in the northeast corner, opened the curtain, and saw seven generals in armor sitting at the table.

Earl Ying clearly heard them shouting among themselves, and it seemed that they were getting into a tense situation.

"You two adults are well!"

As soon as he and Li Gang were brought in by Zhong Shidao, everyone in the military tent immediately knelt on the ground and greeted them both.

Before he could speak, Li Gang said: "Men, get up quickly. The battle is urgent now, so there is no need to be polite!"

It turned out that all the people in this military tent were subordinates of Zhongshi Dao.

Among them are think tanks with a kind of teacher's way, and there are also military generals who are brought along by a kind of teacher's way.

The only purpose of these people sitting here is to discuss the next specific policy.

How to fight against the Jin Army is the most appropriate countermeasure, and it must be planned out as quickly as possible.

We don't dare to delay for a moment now. If the time is extended a little longer, the Jin army's iron pagoda will attack all the gates in the outer city in one go.

By then, it will be too late.

As soon as Earl Ying and Li Gang sat down, Zhong Shidao's subordinates began to speak one after another.

"Two adults, the Jin army came so suddenly this morning. We were all at a loss. We came down in one breath and have been guarding and defending until now. The brothers have died and been injured in countless numbers!"

"In my opinion, the only solution now is to evacuate this place, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices!"

As soon as this person finished speaking, Earl Ying saw a person sitting opposite him suddenly slap the table and get up.

He said sharply to this person: "Withdraw immediately? What did you do earlier?"

"Almost no one of the [-] brothers in my camp survived. They all died tragically under the golden armies of the Jin army!"

"Now you say you want to evacuate the outer city. How do you want my dead brothers to go underground to meet their ancestors with dignity?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Earl Ying suddenly heard several sounds of swords being drawn out from his right side.

Turning his head suddenly, he saw that the three subordinates of Zhong Shidao unsheathed their swords and aimed at the eyes of the person who had just spoken.The three said in unison: "It's really presumptuous! Sun Kun, if you want to die, just say so, and I will be happy to help you!"

Earl Ying was shocked. He quickly stood up, raised his hands high above his head, and said, "Brothers, please don't do this. The enemy is ahead, so don't fight among yourself!"

Zhong Shidao slammed his palm on the table, and reprimanded everyone: "Look at what you look like! Is this motherfucker still my mighty teacher of Zhong Shidao!"

"Master Ying and Master Li are sitting in front of you in the court hall, but you are so unseemly, do you want to force me to serve you with swords?"

Seeing Master Zhong's anger, everyone sat down one after another. No matter what they wanted to say, they just whispered softly.

At this time, Li Gang looked at Zhong Shidao and asked: "Up to now, how many soldiers under your command and King Qin's army who have rushed to Bianliang from all over the world are added together?"

Zhong Shidao didn't even think about it and said loudly: "Reporting to Mr. Li, 13 people are just a lot more."

Li Gang nodded, turned to look at Earl Ying and said, "Master Ying, you and I are both officials in the court, so we know each other's temperament better."

"Now that the two of us have been entrusted with an important task by the Holy Emperor, I have come up with a last-ditch strategy. I don't know if you will agree with it after telling it to you."

Earl Ying said quickly: "Master Li, tell me quickly, the situation is extremely urgent right now, and we really can't waste even a moment!"

Li Gang stood up, frowned and said, "My Great Song Dynasty's outer city guards and the inner city guards that the two of us have brought together now total more than [-] people."

"If we have to go head-to-head with the Jin army with real swords and guns, it would not be a wise move for me, the Song Dynasty. To be honest, I will suffer a lot."

"In my opinion, it is better to just defend the outer city of Bianliang. If you can defend it for one day, it is one day, and if you can defend it for two days, it is two days."

"The Jin army traveled thousands of miles from the north of the Yellow River all the way south. Sooner or later, they will run out of food and grass!"

Hearing this, Zhong Shidao quickly pulled Li Gang and said, "Master Li, the tiger and wolf division of the Jin Army."

"If we, the Song Army, only want to defend the outer city of Bianliang, I think the unknown number is too big. To be honest, I can't afford to gamble."

Li Gang patted Zhong Shidao's shoulder with his hand, glanced at the table, and quickly took eleven teacups from the table.

Place two of the teacups opposite each other, and constantly bump the teacup in the front against the teacup in the back.

Li Gang said: "The two teacups on the east and west sides are like the Jin Army and our Song Army. The Jin Army has been trying to wipe out all our Song Army, and then take Bianliang City."

"General, Sir Ying, you are so easy to watch. This teacup does look so weak when placed here."

"But, what about three teacups? What about four teacups? At this moment, I will put all the teacups on the table together!"

Li Gang placed the other nine teacups he had just brought over on the left and right sides of the teacup at the back.

Soon, the teacup in front was unable to support itself, even though it seemed to be in better condition and of higher quality.

However, in comparison, it already seems isolated and helpless.

On the other hand, the teacup at the back, because the other nine teacups are all next to it, is so powerful that it is countless times stronger than the teacup in the front.

Earl Ying stood up and said, "Wonderful! Mr. Li compared this tea cup to the confrontation between the two armies. It is really very appropriate!"

Zhong Shidao looked at the teacups placed on the table by Li Gang, and his bright eyes gradually narrowed into a thin slit.
