Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 336 The Defense of Tokyo 24
The Hebei imperial army was defeated like a mountain, but the Hedong army shined brilliantly. Together with the deputy governor of Zhoufu Road, Wang Zhi, and the magistrate Zhang Xiaochun, they led the army to defend Taiyuan, and firmly held back Nianhan's [-] Nuzhen elites. With a face, that is the most effective force of the Jurchens!

Due to the tension in Hedong, he can only lead ten thousand people to serve the king, and his military strength cannot be compared with that of the Western Army. Of course, the battle depends on the face of the general of the Western Army, which makes him very unhappy, and no one wants to be a supporting role.The young generals in the Western Army sent generals to attack the veterans, but it was rare!Suddenly there was a taste of gloating.

Zhong Shidao secretly sighed, scolding Yao Pingzhong for being ashamed, for making the contradiction between the generals of the Western Army public, and in front of the emperor, in front of the eyes of the general of the Hedong Army, he said bitterly: "Zhuzi is hateful!"

Li Bangyan, Fan Zongyin and others understood that Zhao Huan's civilians were brutally massacred because of the plunder of the Jin army. It was just when they were shocked, humiliated and angry, they vowed to fight the Jin army. No one said a word, and touched the bad luck for no reason.

Zhe Yanzhi curbed his wild thoughts, and respectfully said: "I think that the captives are blocked in Taiyuan on the west road, and the east road goes deep alone, breaking the taboo of military strategists, so they can just fight decisively. Think long term."

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes involuntarily, feeling quite contemptuous in her heart, what she said was so fucking slick, first she showed the merits of the Hedong Forbidden Army, and then catered to Zhao Huan's desire to fight, without offending elders such as Zhong Shi Dao and others Veteran.

Of course, he did not deny the achievements of the Hedong Forbidden Army, which successfully held back the most elite Jurchen troops.However, the reason why Wu Qimai invested the main force in Hedong was to face the Western Army, and it had nothing to do with the forbidden army in Hedong.

Zhao Huan just smiled lightly, not knowing whether it was possible or not, his eyes slowly turned to Wang Xiu, and after watching for a moment, he said: "Wang Qing, as the envoy of the northern Jibei system, the captives will come to your defense area. Regarding the night attack, what do you know?" What's your opinion?"

All eyes were on Wang Xiu, which made him very uncomfortable. Didn't it mean that he had to be pulled in for nothing?Since Zhao Guan asked a question, of course he had to answer, and he already had a draft.

"Your Majesty, although the night attack is good, the opportunity has long been lost. It is better to cancel it."

These words were considered a hornet's nest, Yao Pingzhong's eyes were not friendly, and even Li Gang and Zhong Shidao frowned slightly. You must know that although they have differences, they are all in the main battle!Attacking the Jin army was a common goal, but it was just a time dispute. Even Nie Chang frowned and looked at Wang Xiu hesitantly.

"Zhige defeated the captives several times, why did he become timid when he entered the city?" Zhong Shidao said indifferently, but his sarcasm was not concealed at all.

"It's not timid, but prudent." Wang Xiu replied bluntly. He respected Zhong's teacher's morality, but he would never be ridiculed and not retaliate.

"Yesterday, the two thieves were captured alive, and their abdomens were cut for examination. They ate black beans. In the morning, Shen Guan came back and said that the captives took more gold and silk children. I heard that the Western Army arrived in Henan Province before they began to gather food. From this, I can be sure that their food and grass We can't hold on at all, it's a good time to attack, just wait for the main force to arrive." Zhong Shidao didn't answer Wang Xiu's words.

"The decisive battle between the imperial court and the captives should be sooner rather than later, and I hope His Majesty will judge." Yao Pingzhong glared at Wang Xiu bitterly.

Zhong Shidao rolled his eyes at Yao Pingzhong, and said, "It's better to wait for the main force to arrive."

Zhao Huan looked embarrassed, he was very entangled!Should we fight earlier, or wait for the main force of the Western Army in the division?Seeing Wang Xiu's calm face, he couldn't help but think of this god of killing, who had never failed once, and couldn't help saying: "Wang Qing's family, why are you cautious?"

"As Mr. Zhong said, the captives have run out of food and grass, and the black beans must be the horse fodder of the Tiansi Supervisor. Unfortunately, the time is short, and I can't burn them thoroughly." Wang Xiu paused, with a look of regret, and said: "Mr. I thought the best way was to procrastinate, to avoid a direct decisive battle with the captives, but to divide the troops to control the Dahe Ferry, and the tens of thousands of captives in the district would become the turtles in the urn, without the court's effort, they would naturally collapse."

"The captives are crazy, what should they do if they fail?" Nie Chang couldn't hold back, thinking that Wang Xiu was a villain who went back on what he said.

"This is the best policy." Wang Xiu ignored Nie Chang's question.

"Then let's talk about the Qing family." Zhao Huan became a little interested.

"The middle policy is to continue the peace talks..."

"Wang Xiu, you are the envoy of the northern Jibei system and a minister with the responsibility of guarding the land. You should be guilty of talking about peace talks." Nie Chang was furious. He wished he could swallow Wang Xiu alive. If I knew it earlier, I would have detained Wen Xijun.

"Don't get angry with the Qing family. Listen to Wang Qing's family first." Although Zhao Huan wanted to fight the Jin army, he was still weak in his bones. It would be best to retreat through peace talks. Send it to Moutuogang.

Wang Xiu ignored the unfriendly gazes, and said generously: "Meet the captives' financial requirements, as long as it is not excessive, prompt them to withdraw as soon as possible."

There was no sound in the hall, when did Wang Xiuli initiate peace talks?It was still a thorough negotiation, and even Fan Zongyin, who held the argument of peace, felt that it was too much. Nie Chang's face was ashen, and the generals also had sharp eyes, as if they were about to kill someone.

Zhao Huan was also a little confused, but he still asked: "The captives demand too much, and they can't satisfy their desires. The Qing family's intention is good, but it doesn't work!"

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes. You also know that people want too much. While searching desperately to satisfy the Jurchen's desire, while swearing and vowing to fight, you have the nerve to call him crazy.

Li Gang looked at Wang Xiu with a bad look and said in a deep voice, "Wang Zhige, let me ask you where you sent the war horses from the Tiansi Prison to Mou Tuogang that day?" It would be nice to be able to bring out the war horses. It is not a big mistake to temporarily ration 78 generals to fight. It can increase the combat effectiveness, and it can be regarded as some support for the lone army.

but.Hearing that Wang Xiu didn't advocate war first, but also mentioned peace talks, he decided that Wang Xiu had failed their expectations, and he was disappointed and made a heavy hand.

To say that the war horses of the Tiansi Supervisor can be big or small, and they really hold on to them, but that is a serious crime of secretly seizing the court's war preparations and harboring ulterior motives.

Wang Xiu was not afraid, and said loudly: "At that time, I led 78 generals with thousands of officials and defeated the captives to attack several times. At night, Wushu led the main force to arrive. Our army was exhausted after fighting for a whole day, but we still persisted. In the middle of the night, they snatched thousands of horses before setting fire to retreat. At that time, the battle was tense, and 78 generals were fighting alone outside the city. How could thousands of soldiers fight against tens of thousands of captives, so I had no choice but to keep the horses without authorization. Form an infantry army to deal with the captives."
