Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 337 The Defense of Tokyo 25
"What do you intend to do by intercepting the war horse without going to the imperial court?" Li Gang's face was very ugly, he was a little preposterous, and even more guilty.

"All the gates are closed, and the captives outside the city burned, killed and looted. Our army is guarding Yuetai tightly, and it is impossible to get through the road. If there are not thousands of horses, they will have been trapped and destroyed by the captives." Wang Xiu refused to give in. , he no longer needs Nie Chang's help, anyway, Wen Xijun is out of trouble, and he is confident that he has the ability to tide over the difficulties.

"Nonsense, can't you retreat to the city?" Nie Chang said something serious, and it was quite lethal.

Wang Xiu smiled contemptuously, her eyes were like looking at an idiot, and she said playfully: "I am the envoy of Jibei, who has the duty of guarding the land. He can only die in battle outside the city, and cannot enter the city to steal his life. Fortunately, officials use their lives, big and small The tenth battle stood still, so that the captives did not dare to go deep into the west wall. The minister is the envoy of the system. The Tiansi Supervisor is in the war zone of the minister. He would rather use it for private use than to support the enemy. Well, the military situation was urgent at that time, and I wanted to withdraw to the city gate. , I am afraid they will be gathered and wiped out under the city wall."

To be honest, the people on the west wall outside the city suffered the least. The sentence that they can only die in battle outside the city, and cannot enter the city to steal their lives, is simply deafening and makes many people feel extremely ashamed.The last sentence is also true, who dares to open the city gate at night!Retreating into the city was courting death.

Zhang Qiyuan pondered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhige not only has no faults, but also made great achievements. I thought that the captives crossed the river quickly, and the imperial court had no soldiers to transfer in the north of Gyeonggi. He Taiwei also died heroically. Wang Zhige was able to stick to the Tiansi Prison for a day and a night, fighting several times the enemy with thousands of soldiers and horses, and finally retreated calmly. A fire made the captives fall into an embarrassing situation of food shortage. The thousands of war horses in the area were not captured by the captives. But temporarily using it on the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, how can it be called a crime?"

Li Bangyan glanced at Zhang Qiyuan, nodded and said, "What Du Chengzhi said is absolutely true."

Wang Xiu glanced at Zhang Qiyuan in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Zhang Qiyuan has become more and more shrewd, this is not defending him, it is clearly using him as a stepping stone to achieve his own reputation.At this time, the lone army was fighting outside, not to mention the horses, just harassing the Jin army was a great achievement.The most hateful thing is that this guy has mentioned the temporary war horse, which has to be returned. He can't help but admit that Zhang Qiyuan played beautifully.

"The guards are all thinking like the Qing family, how can the captives go deep into the capital!" Zhao Huan couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion, and valued Zhang Qiyuan even more.

"Your Majesty, the minister said that peace talks are an expedient measure. We should hold them back first. The captives are exhausted and lack of food and grass. When the main force of King Qin's army arrives, they will definitely evacuate hastily. At that time, Your Majesty will let go of the river crossing and let them return to the north. Wait for them Halfway through and then attacking them, you can wipe out half of Jurchen's elite, and after receiving the court oath, whoever dares to say that the court will negotiate peace with the captives, even if they send troops north to recover Yanshan, it will be a matter of raising their hands."

Hit it halfway, it turns out that this kid is planning to make a fool of himself!Li Gang and Nie Chang were so ashamed that they acted like villains. They really didn't know what to say.

Zhao Huan thinks that Wang Xiu's plan is good, but he can't wait. What he needs is a quick victory, a peace negotiation from the standpoint of the winner, not a patient and complete victory. Words matter.

"The Qing family will continue."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to talk about the next policy. It is not appropriate to send troops hastily." Wang Xiu temporarily passed the crisis, but he was not optimistic about the current situation, and did his duty without leaving any regrets. Regarding Zhongliqiu's promise, he restrained his eyes and said calmly: "The best strategy is to wait for the main force in Shaanxi to arrive. Use 78 as a general to go directly to the ferry to disturb the morale of the captives. The imperial court is fighting with absolute superiority. Han Family Tianwei."

Zhong Shidao and Li Gang nodded secretly. To put it bluntly, Wang Xiu's best strategy is an improved version of what they advocated.A majestic conspiracy.

Yao Pingzhong didn't take it seriously, and said proudly: "The captives are weak, why bother to work hard, Mr. Wang is a literati who discusses soldiers, and is too pedantic. Your Majesty, I have a brigade of teachers who can't be separated alive, and offer to capture Tianyu." Gaining Zhao Huan's trust, he spoke without consideration and showed no mercy to Wang Xiu.

But who knew that Wang Xiu was speaking of this sentence, offended most people in Funing Hall, everyone's faces were very ugly, even Zhao Huan secretly blamed him for being outspoken, you are also qualified to accuse literati of discussing soldiers?It's outrageous.

Although Zhao Huan slandered Yao Pingzhong for being frivolous, he still had great hopes for him, after all, these warriors are needed for war, Mosquito said: "Zhiqing is a brave general!"

Li Gang changed his attitude and actively agreed with Wang Xiu's suggestion, but he also hoped to have a quick battle to increase Zhao Huan's determination to fight against the gold. He pondered a little: "The main forces of the various armies in Shaanxi have not arrived, so we must not make a decisive battle easily. But, now There are also 20 people inside and outside, and you can choose elite soldiers to assault Moutuogang to frighten the captives."

Wang Xiu's lips moved, as if she wanted to speak, but she swallowed it when she reached her lips, as if she was always there.

Zhong Shidao was very dissatisfied, and argued: "Your Majesty, the offensive and defensive plans must not be rushed. The captives are masters and fortified the city, but their vigor has not diminished. I am afraid it is not appropriate to use troops hastily. Kaifeng's soldiers and people cannot afford defeat! The Art of War says : "Those who are in trouble in military struggles use detours to be straight and take dangers to gain. Therefore, if detours are used to lure them to benefit, later generations will start, and predecessors will succeed. This is also the one who knows the detours." As Wang Zhige said, Slowly weaken their morale, wait for the main force to arrive, and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Zhao Huan felt that what Mr. Zhong said was reasonable, so he couldn't help but shift his eyes to Li Gang, who looked indecisive. Wang Xiu saw in his eyes that he really had a toothache. In such an obvious situation, he still couldn't tell right from wrong, and couldn't make up his mind. It is unreasonable for the Zhao family to be undefeated!
Li Bangyan, Fan Zongyin, Wang Shiyong and others looked dumbfounded, turning a blind eye to the disputes among the ministers in charge.

"If it doesn't work, I'd like to bring my head up to see Your Majesty." Yao Pingzhong was young and energetic, and before Li Gang could speak, he issued a military order and said decisively: "As long as there are more than ten thousand elites, I will be able to break the Moutuogang Great Village .”

Zhao Huan's eyelids twitched, and he was overwhelmed by Yao Pingzhong's arrogance, and he immediately felt more courageous, and the last hesitation disappeared, and he said happily: "Excellent, just as you wish, after the success, I will be the nobleman and festival of the Qing family." Yue, to show his unrivaled feats."

"Great feats of shit, what a fucking fuck!" Wang Xiu didn't think Yao Pingzhong would win the bet. Zhao Huan was not Tang Xianzong, and he couldn't be compared with Emperor Renzong. There was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes, and the last hesitation in his heart. Dissipate little by little.

"Your Majesty, Jingdong 78 will be called the elite and can be used as reinforcements." Nie Chang is very active in the battle. He is attacking Wang Xiu, but he still asks Wang Xiu to play.

Wang Xiu had a toothache. Nie Chang was so childish. He attacked him just now and wanted to use him. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Zhao Huan didn't care about these things, he didn't even think about it, and said with a smile: "That's fine, Xuanfu envoys will control the officers, and Jibei will set up envoys to coordinate and go to war on February [-]st."

But Yang Kesheng said again: "Your Majesty, this trip is extremely dangerous, and I am afraid that the captives will become angry from embarrassment. The imperial court will lose the credibility of sending relatives and prime ministers to negotiate peace. I intend to put the imperial court's order to suppress the generals and send troops on me. In case something happens, it's okay." Push the responsibility away."

Thinking very comprehensively, even thinking about the responsibility in case of failure, Wang Xiu curled her lips and sighed secretly.

"The loyalty of the Qing family, if you can win a big victory, you will be Feng Qing and other Jiedu and Chengxuan." Zhao Huan was overjoyed, it's not that he didn't think about failure, if he was not blamed, he would lose all face, Yang Kesheng accepted the fault, which was exactly what he wanted.

Wang Xiu curled her lips, he was in favor of a peace deal before fighting, unlike Yang Kesheng.Yang Kesheng learned it on behalf of others, purely out of comparability, he planned strategically, and to put it bluntly, a fool would not take advantage.

Of course, Zhao Guan's family has set the tone, and it's hard for everyone to talk about it, so let's go out quietly!What should I do?

Wang Xiu's heart was extremely heavy. In all fairness, Yao Pingzhong's night attack was not too much, and there are many successful examples in history. Li Yixue's night attack on Caizhou and Di Qing's night attack on Nong Zhigao are famous successful cases.Li Gang thought so, and Zhong Shidao also had the same plan.

The so-called success depends on the sky and the people, since it is a sneak attack, the military plan must not be leaked, Zhao Huan believed that heaven does not believe in people, and used the magician Chu Tianjue to choose a good day and auspicious day as the date to rob the village, and made a big splash, causing the city to be full of wind and rain. Nonsense.

As the coordinator of the coordinated operation, he knew the battle plan in the afternoon. Yao Pingzhong and Zhao Huan trusted him. He had no backup plan to contact the friendly army at all. Without his general order, no one can attack without authorization, obviously they have to take credit for it!
Depressed and depressed, since he can't control the overall situation, he doesn't worry too much. Anyway, this big city of Kaifeng cannot be captured by tens of thousands of Jin troops. Even if the city gates are opened, the Jin troops probably dare not go deep.

In the evening, Qin Hui and Fan Zongyin went to the Changqing Building under the east wall of Jingling Palace to have a drink by appointment. Because of the difficult state affairs, the three of them did not dare to drink too much, just reminiscing about the old days.Then went to Zhong Liqiu's residence for a long talk, talked a lot before returning to the courtyard to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, Tanya took Feng Yuan out of the city and returned to Yuetai Dazhai. It was almost noon, so he immediately recruited Qiu Fu and Li Bao to discuss military plans together.

Yao Pingzhong wants to monopolize the great achievements, and he does not provide many information to the friendly army, but he knows it well.With such a big momentum, it would be evil if Wu Li didn't know it. The Jin army didn't make a deployment to counterattack and it was even more evil. Yao Pingzhong is also considered an experienced general. Could it be that he is really confused?He didn't want to believe it.

"This battle is not easy to fight. Did Captain Yao really think it was a joke?" Li Bao was very dissatisfied. He also heard rumors of an attack on the Jin army.

With a cold face, Qiu Fu said in a deep voice, "Since the official wishes, children's games have to be played."

Wang Xiu smiled playfully, pointed at the map and said, "Fight, definitely."
