Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 197 Li Ping'er is lazy in the afternoon
Since Earl Ying had just returned to Bianliang City from the Hualien Sect, he hadn't had time to settle the actual military strength of the Song Dynasty with Emperor Huizong.

If soldiers and horses from all over the country were gathered in the capital, Earl Ying did not have a specific figure in mind as to how many people could be gathered.

But after some estimation, it should only be 20 people at most.

Of course, the actual number will definitely be much lower than the estimated number.

What is certain is that during the first Bianliang defense battle, the Jin Kingdom only used a drop in the bucket of strength.

The Song Dynasty devoted all the efforts of the whole country and the savings of successive kings over the past hundred years.

This was just a tie with the Kingdom of Jin, creating a situation of equal parts.

In fact, the Jin Kingdom does not need to use too much this time. Even if it only uses two-tenths, it is estimated that the Song Dynasty can be directly served in one pot.

Earl Ying thought to himself: Ah!Oops, now this is a real dilemma.

Neither to the left nor to the right. What should I do?

At this moment, Emperor Huizong spoke again: "All ministries in the DPRK and Central Government have officially entered the stage of confinement from now on, and are waiting for dispatch and deployment from the DPRK and Central Government at any time."

Relevant people from various ministries all praised: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

A major event is about to happen, and this first gathering of monarchs and ministers ended amidst the noise.

Earl Ying originally wanted to stay and accompany Emperor Huizong to assess the situation.

But the fact that Li Gang and Gao Qiu were about to fight on the spot made Emperor Huizong feel very unhappy.

So, after Emperor Huizong retired from the court, he quickly returned to the harem without seeing anyone.

Earl Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet and go home.

After arriving home, it happened to be noon that day, and Jin Lian and others were sitting in the dining room eating.

Seeing that Earl Ying had retreated back, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, and asked Earl Ying impatiently: "Seeing that the golden soldiers are about to go south again, how did the court make a decision?"

Earl Ying fell down on the chair in disgrace, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."

Pang Chunmei breathed a long sigh of relief, patted her chest, picked up the bowls and chopsticks thrown on the dining table again, and said, "Oh, I thought what would happen, but it turns out..."

When she said this part, she immediately closed her mouth tightly, turned her head sharply to look at Earl Ying, and asked in shock: "Master, you... what did you say? I don't know?"

Earl Ying nodded.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and their hearts were filled with ups and downs.

Li Gongji and Li Gongbi sat aside and saw Earl Ying looking like an eggplant beaten by frost.

He quickly came over and Li Gongji asked seriously: "Brother, seeing that the war is about to begin, is it possible that Your Majesty still has no good plan?"

When Earl Ying heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When did your Majesty have a good idea?"

Li Gongji is a mere magistrate of Qinghe County. To put it bluntly, when he comes to Bianliang City, he is just like an ignorant commoner who comes from a poor place where nothing matters.

He had the same idea as the people of the Song Dynasty, and they all firmly believed that the Holy Emperor was the son of God, and he would live forever for thousands of generations.

Now hearing what Earl Ying said, he quickly looked at each other with his son Li Gongbi.

This lunch passed in silence.

After lunch, Earl Ying and Li Ping'er returned to the room.

Ping'er climbed onto the bed, spread out the mattress, took off her shoes, and was about to take off her socks when Earl Ying stopped her.

"Let's talk about it tonight, I'm not in the mood right now."

Earl Ying spoke listlessly to the bottle and sat on the edge of the bed. "Huh? Not in the mood?"

Ping'er sat next to Earl Ying, looked at Earl Ying, and asked seriously.

Earl Ying reached into his arms and took out the set of Qianli Jiangshan Fist that Li Qingqiu had given him.

Put it in front of your eyes, take a closer look, shake your head and smile wryly.

After a while, Earl Ying turned to look at Ping'er and asked, "I remember there is a copy of "The Art of War" in your room, right?"

Ping'er nodded blankly and said, "Yes, there is such a book."

Earl Ying stood up and walked towards the table, saying, "Bring me this book."

Ping'er obeyed the count's advice, so she put the socks on again that had fallen to her ankles.

Then he put on his shoes, jumped out of bed, and dug out a copy of "The Art of War" from the wooden cabinet.

Earl Ying took the "Art of War" from Ping'er and read it carefully.

Ping'er watched "The Art of War" with Earl Ying for a while, and soon, he felt sleepy.

She stretched her body and said listlessly: "I'm sleepy now. Master, why don't you get into bed and sleep?"

Earl Ying shook his head gently and said nothing.

The woman took off her gown, kicked off her shoes, lay sideways under the quilt, and soon fell asleep.

For a whole hour, Earl Ying read the "Art of War" in his hand with concentration.

In fact, he didn't have much of a clue, and "The Art of War" was written in classical Chinese, so it seemed quite laborious.

Before he knew it, he had already used all the techniques he was used to when writing novels.

Reading it word by word, line by line, my mind kept churning.

Gradually, those glyphs seemed to have legs and feet, and began to move sideways on the white paper.

When the time came to the unsigned hour after another hour, Earl Ying's heart suddenly became enlightened. He stood up with great ambition and laughed out loud.

Li Ping'er, who was sleeping, suddenly heard a loud laugh from Count Ying and woke up suddenly. He sat up, looked at Count Ying and asked softly: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Earl Ying turned around and saw that Ping'er had woken up, so he closed the "Art of War" in his hand and threw it on the table.

Putting his hands behind his back, he walked slowly in front of Ping'er, and said: "This battle between the Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin must be fought, and we have to bite the bullet and fight."

"Now the time left by the Jin Kingdom to the Song Dynasty is running out, but no matter what, I still thought of a clever plan."

Li Ping'er woke up immediately, quickly lifted the quilt covering her body, stood up from the bed, wrapped her two jade arms around Earl Ying's neck, and hugged Earl Ying tightly.

He asked affectionately: "What is this clever plan? Can you tell me about it?"

Earl Ying was secretly delighted, and he leaned close to Ping'er's ear and whispered something.

The more Ping'er listened, the more she realized that this strategy was really brilliant.

When she heard the end, she couldn't hold back her laughter.

He couldn't help but ask: "Officer, do you think this strategy is really feasible? Speaking of which...if there is even the slightest oversight, everything will be lost."

Earl Ying raised his head and laughed, put his hand on Ping'er's waist, and squeezed it gently as if it was itching.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Omission? Hehe! This strategy will be widely publicized from the moment the emperor implements it, so that everyone in the world will prick up their ears and listen carefully. There are fewer people listening, and there are still No! How can there be any omissions?"
