Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 339 The Defense of Tokyo 27
Li Bao smacked his lips and said calmly: "I'm afraid the captives are also on guard against our army. If they go rashly at this time, the loss will be great."

"Lieutenant Li, all the generals in the imperial court are fighting hard, and you still don't give up the casualties." Qiu Fu has been very heartbroken these days, and seeing Li Bao afraid of fighting, he couldn't help but get angry.

Li Bao glanced at Qiu Fu, and said indifferently: "It's a strange thing to be undefeated in a night attack with great fanfare. Now that the various departments of the Xuanfu Division are fighting against the city, what danger can there be? Maybe Li Xianggong's army of the Operation Division has been dispatched long ago. It is dangerous." Precisely with us."

Qiu Fu was stunned, as if he didn't quite understand, he couldn't help looking at Li Bao in doubt, hoping that the other party would give him a reasonable explanation.

Wang Xiu nodded secretly, Uncle Qiu is old!Maybe leading an army to fight is okay, but it is completely incapable of taking on the big task.The Jin army was not afraid of the infantry of the Song Dynasty, but was extremely vigilant against the horse army, and the 78 generals were highly mobile.

Don't underestimate the 7000 people. These are experienced veterans. Once they have the ability to maneuver quickly, their threat is definitely greater than tens of thousands of pacers.What's more, the Jin army knows the 78 generals very well and will definitely keep a close eye on the dozens of battles.

"What does the envoy mean to wait for a fighter?"

Seeing Wang Xiu's question, Li Bao immediately said, "Yes, we'll wait for the right opportunity, and when they think it's most unlikely, we'll give them a hard blow."

"Could it be that we just sit on the sidelines while seeing our friendly troops struggling?" Qiu Fu seemed to understand, but he was very unwilling.

"Taiwei, this is not just watching from the sidelines, but judging the situation. 78 will develop to today. It is not easy. We must be responsible for every official, and we cannot let them make unnecessary sacrifices. Brother Qian's risk is not worth it." Li Bao retorted without hesitation, without any politeness, he really didn't like Qiu Fu's commanding ability.

"But the imperial court has an order, our army cooperates with Yao Taiwei to fight." Qiu Fu has never compromised on the implementation of the imperial court's orders.

"You will not accept the orders of the generals." Seeing Qiu Fu's reluctance, Li Bao also became a little angry.

"Don't talk anymore, both of you." Wang Xiu felt a little headache. It's not a good thing that General 78 disagrees.In particular, he agrees with Li Bao's strategy, and Qiu Fu somehow wants to resolutely support the Privy Council's order, so he can't speak too harshly.

In all fairness, he understands the outcome of this war, even if General 78 wins, so what?It can't change the overall situation at all. If you don't see that Zhao Heng is still collecting jewelry, then you can't be a guy who can support the wall.

Taking advantage of Yao Pingzhong's opportunity to rob the camp, making a time difference may receive miraculous results.But he didn't want to do that, Wu Shu and Gao Sheng must be staring at him, a arduous war of attrition was meaningless, in the end Zhao Heng still became a softie, everything was in vain.

Most importantly, he felt that the time had not yet come, and he had to wait calmly for the most favorable time, at least not yet.

It is true that this approach made him feel a certain sense of guilt. As a person who is familiar with history, he has the desire to change this history, but he is even more unwilling to do so.For him, waiting is the most painful. Many times he couldn't help but want to make a move, but in the end, reason prevailed over everything.

Sacrificing a part may be a responsibility to the majority, and he supports himself with this belief.

When the latest military news came, General Chen Fu died in battle, Fan Qiong, Wang Shigu and others were divided and besieged, and the situation on the battlefield was at stake.

Qiu Fu couldn't bear it anymore, pressed the handle of the knife and stared at Wang Xiu, and said in a deep voice, "Da Lang, if you don't send troops, it will be too late."

Wang Xiu glanced at Qiu Fu and said calmly, "Wait a little longer."

Seeing that Wang Xiu was still indifferent, Qiu Fu couldn't suppress his anger any longer, and said sharply, "Da Lang, what do you want to do? The Imperial Propaganda and Fusi soldiers are in danger, and they are still hesitating."

Seeing Qiu Fu calling him Da Lang, Wang Xiu knew that the other party was already extremely popular, but he knew that he must not give in now, let alone show any weakness, so he said in a deep voice, "Uncle, if the entire army must be wiped out, would you be willing?"

Qiu Fu was startled, and looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, his beard was trembling, but he couldn't speak.

Li Bao looked at Qiu Fu coldly. He knew the relationship between Qiu Fu and Wang Xiu, and also knew that Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, and Qiu Yun were three fierce generals. They all followed Qiu Fu, but so what?The battlefield is cruel, and there is no human kindness at all.To achieve the greatest victory and minimize the loss is what the general should consider. Qiu Fu disappointed him.

Similarly, Wang Xiu's absolute rationality made his eyes shine. This is the person who can really turn the tide. Whether it is profit or crisis, he can keep absolute calm. He has willingly obeyed Wang Xiu's orders, at least he can trust Wang Xiu .

"For the court to turn the tide of battle, even if the entire army is wiped out, I will not hesitate." Qiu Fu's face changed a few times, but he still insisted on his beliefs. This is another kind of determination.

Wang Xiu was really disappointed. Qiu Fu's absolute loyalty to Zhao Song had reached the point where he would do anything at all. He no longer had any hesitation in his heart. He looked at Li Bao and said calmly: "Order to cook, each department will have a full meal, and then carry Dry rations are ready."

"Your Excellency, absolutely not." Li Bao didn't expect Wang Xiu to compromise, and he couldn't help being angry when he thought of the possible consequences of the 78th general.

When Wang Xiu was silent, he pointed at Qiu Fu and yelled: "Qiu Fu, you old man, I really don't know how you became a general. You know that there is a dead end ahead, and you want thousands of brothers to die. What's more Don't hesitate to intimidate the superior."

Qiu Fu obviously didn't expect that Li Bao would suddenly attack. He opened his eyes wide and was about to refute, but Wang Xiu said sharply: "Okay, both of you, stop talking."

Li Bao doesn't want thousands of brothers to die, what kind of shit emperor, with such a big advantage, still makes it like this, and let his brothers be buried, is there any reason?He frowned and said in a loud voice: "My lord, neither side has put in all their strength now. There are thousands of people in our military region, and they can't even plug their teeth. I hope you think twice."

"Commander, pay attention to your words. It's a crisis of friendly forces. It's worthwhile for us to go to the rescue, even if we are defeated." Qiu Fu said seriously.

"My lord." Li Bao no longer spoke to Qiu Fu, they had no common language.

Wang Xiu's eyes were stern. No one knew what he was thinking, but he was really thinking about problems, very realistic problems.

Kaifeng City, Da Nei Funing Hall
Zhu Lian looked melancholy at Zhao Huan, the pale, weak and sickly man who was lying on the imperial couch, and fell asleep in a coma.

It was this man who was supporting this huge and weak empire, and he was clearly unable to cope with the frustrating and unbearable situation.The battle tonight made his mood, which was already easy to fluctuate, become more unstable, sometimes irritable, sometimes depressed, and sometimes excited.

The palace servants of Funing Palace waited cautiously with trepidation, for fear that one inattentiveness would anger the official Long Yan, and Zhu Lian's arrival made them all secretly relieved, no one in the palace knew how to make Zhao The only one who retreated three points from Huan was the lady.

"Official, official." Zhu Lian called out softly beside Zhao Huan.

"It's a lady!" Zhao Huan opened his eyes, sat up with difficulty, looked into Zhu Lian's eyes, squeezed out a gentle smile, looked around, and said in confusion, "Why did I fall asleep? "

"The officials are too tired to work on state affairs!" Zhu Lian took a bowl of lotus seed soup from Qing Jun behind him, sat lightly on the couch, and said softly: "The ministers and concubines stewed some lotus seed soup. Drink it while it's hot."

"Thank you, lady, come here so late." Zhao Huan took the jade bowl and was about to say something close to himself.

But Zhu Lian said with a smile: "What are the officials talking about? The officials are working hard for the state affairs, and the concubine has nothing to share, so I can only accompany the officials here."

Zhao Huan was quite emotional when he heard the words, took a few sips, Qing Jun took the jade bowl, held Zhu Lian's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "My lady has been worried about me all day long since she came into my house. I was invaded by the Tartars again, and I didn’t have a peaceful life. I am really useless, as the emperor, but I can’t let my wife live peacefully for a few days.”

"Where is the official talking, stop talking, sleep for a while, and refresh your spirit."

"Fortunately, after tonight, the big event will be decided, and I will accompany my lady well."

Zhu Lian said indifferently: "That's also tomorrow's business. The officials should rest well and don't work too hard."

"The officials of the imperial army are fighting bloody battles outside the city, how can I sleep peacefully, my lady should go back and rest for a while!"

"Since this is the case, the concubine will accompany the official's family, so I can talk and relieve my fatigue." Zhu Lian forced a smile, and said: "If there is a battle report, it may take half an hour."

"Tonight, I want to see if Yao Pingzhong can't leave, hehe, I will never go around him." Zhao Huan looked resentful, he was afraid of the Jurchens, and kept sending gold and silver, but he hated these barbarians to the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly, an inexplicable anger rose in his heart, and he said hastily: "Li Gang, at a critical moment, you have to have the three edicts to send troops. You are so arrogant and arrogant." Not obeying the imperial edict, or even rejecting the holy will, is a common thing. Not only the emperor will not blame him, but the scholars will also praise him, saying that he has a very good character, and he will eventually be a scholar-bureaucrat.

However, when the country was in crisis and the two sides were fighting each other, Li Gang's three edicts came up to ask questions. No matter what the reason was, they couldn't calm him down, and his favor towards Li Gang was still greatly reduced.

Zhu Lian didn't make a sound, and didn't want to make a sound, but said softly to Qing Jun beside him: "Qing Jun, you can rest in the outer pavilion for a while."

"saint."

"Go!"

After Qingjun went down, Zhu Lian looked at the thin Zhao Huan, and silently accompanied him, talking about household chores from time to time to distract Zhao Huan's anxiety, and laughing happily from time to time.

She is also doing her duty as a queen. From the bottom of her heart, she looks down on this cowardly emperor. Her own destiny is in the hands of this man. Every time she thinks about it, she feels cold. It's really terrible!
