Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 341 The Defense of Tokyo 29
He has He Wang Xiu's plan to cooperate with Geng Nanzhong, but it does not hinder the design of Wang Xiu. In his eyes, Geng Nanzhong is just a rotten tree, while Wang Xiu is a great enemy with unlimited potential. When Wang Xiu cannot be moved for the time being, everyone It is a good choice to jointly deal with Geng Nanzhong.However, at this time and at that time, since there is a good opportunity to get rid of Wang Xiu, you must definitely seize it, the opportunity is fleeting, and you don't know when the next time will be.

Politics is just like that, just like children's play, but it's just mixed with interests and balance, nothing new.

"Where is Yao Pingzhong now? Why is Zhong Shidao still in the city now? Is the army of the imperial camp just for display?" Zhao Huan came back to his senses a little bit, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he was. Wang Xiu's thousands of soldiers and horses were not in his eyes , or ask a few bigwigs.

"It's better for the government to issue an edict as soon as possible, and it's the right thing to pass on the minister Zhong to go out of the city to control the Xuanfu Department." Zhu Lian didn't want to talk too much in front of Li Bangyan, Cai Wei and others, which would only increase the criticism from the outside court, but Zhao Huan said that Zhong and Li Er would be held accountable. People, Li Bangyan and Cai Wei can't count on it. I just hope that there will be no troubles, thank God, and I can only speak out to remind Zhao Huan to put the overall situation first!

"Oh, that's right! If it wasn't for the lady's reminder, I would have missed something important!" Zhao Huan patted his forehead nervously, and suddenly said: "Zhang Qing quickly draws up an order, orders Zhong Shi Dao, Li Gang quickly restrains soldiers and horses, and quickly rescues Yao Pingzhong, there must be no mistake."

Cai Mao was still a little hesitant, but Li Bangyan and Zhang Qiyuan bowed and said: "I will draw up an order immediately."

Cai Mao looked at Li Yan Bangyan in surprise, and saw a little color flash across his brow.After a little hesitation, he immediately understood how straightforward this guy was.Their goal has been achieved, the overall situation outside the city has been decided, no matter what happens in this battle, it is impossible to achieve a shocking result, and there must be a peace negotiation afterwards, which is exactly what Li Bangyan and him advocated.

After this battle, Zhao Huan completely lost confidence in Zhong Shidao and Li Gang, and resented Zhong Shidao and Li Gang's mistakes.Once the two lose Zhao Huan's favor, how to deal with them in the future is not an easy task.Thinking of this, he felt relieved, suppressed the excitement, bowed and said, "Observe the order."

The three retreated, and Zhao Huan said dejectedly: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, the captives are too scary, we can't fight anymore, Lao Jiu is still with them, and we definitely can't fight anymore."

Zhu Lian was not talking, but those beautiful eyes were full of deep worry, and when they glanced at Zhao Huan occasionally, they were deeply disappointed.

This night, the court officials did not know how to spend it. In Wang Xiu's cruel words, it was the 'longest night'!
It was already bright, and Li Gang led the imperial army out of the city to rescue Fan Qiong, Wang Shigu and others from embarrassment, and finally rescued all the ministries. He led the army to the east and stationed at Mutianpo in the northeast of Kaifeng City. Prepare for the decisive battle.

At this time, when Li Bangyan was having a dinner in Dutang, he even had a drink with Zhao Ye, Cai Mao and others to celebrate Yao Pingzhong's failure, so that the peace talks could continue.

The court meeting in the afternoon was in chaos, Zhao Huan was depressed and sluggish, and the ministers were either fighting or peace, refusing to give in to each other, shouting one after another, Qin Hui, who maintained the imperial court, had no choice but to do anything.

Taiwan's admonishing ministers impeached Li Gang, Zhong Shidao and others to go to war on their own initiative, resulting in heavy losses.Li Bangyan hinted that Cai Mao and others would advocate peace talks, and asked Zhao Huanxuan to summon the envoys of the Jin army to oppose him. He exaggerated that the main force of the imperial court's troops and horses had been wiped out, and that another battle would undoubtedly lead to defeat, which made Zhao Huan terrified.

Cheng Zhen and He Zhu, ministers of the Ministry of Officials, resolutely refuted and vigorously stated the disadvantages of the peace negotiation, but Geng Nanzhong remained silent, watching the war and the verbal battle of the ministers with a cold eye.

Cai Mao rolled his eyes and took the opportunity to say to the envoy of the Jin army: "Yesterday's use of troops was due to the collusion between Li Gang and Yao Pingzhong, not the court's decision. The emperor is going to question the two of them." He also suggested that Li Gang be arrested and sent to the Jin army camp.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and most of the ministers who were in charge of peace also objected one after another. Cheng Zhen even pointed at Cai Mao's nose and cursed him for being a villain.

Even Zhao Huan thought that Cai Mao was too much, even though he dared not admit the idea of ​​robbing the camp, and had a lot of prejudice against Li Gang.But to hand over the ministers in power to the enemy, he is not so confused as to be a fool.

The envoys of the Jin army also felt that Cai Mao's words were inappropriate, and seeing Zhao Huan's ugly face, most of the ministers in the palace strongly opposed it, so they pushed the boat along the way, saying that the good office is not to ask the teacher to ask a crime, but to negotiate a peace sincerely. That's all for Li Gang and Zhong Shidao.

Zhao Huan suddenly felt the sincerity of negotiating peace, and finally settled down. With rare decisiveness, he issued an edict to dismiss Li Gang's Shangshu Youcheng, personally recruited the camp envoy, and replaced him with Cai Mao.

He also felt that his sincerity was not enough, so he first summoned Li Gang to strike back and return to the city, and then issued an imperial edict, and then sent Yu Wenxuzhong to give the edict of ceding the three towns to the envoys of the Jin army first, and let Zang Yu and Qin Hui be the envoys of ceding the land.

Qin Hui was extremely unwilling, but he still obeyed the emperor's edict, and of course he told Zhao Huan about Zhong Liqiu's claim that the bank had no money, which made the Zhao family angry.

At this time, Li Gang was fighting fiercely with the Jin army on Mutianpo, and the imperial edict urging Wang Xiu to advance was also issued!

Wang Xiubing divided into two groups. Qiu Fu led 2000 infantry and cavalry to the east to reinforce Li Gang. He and Li Bao led more than [-] elite troops to detour north. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had lost confidence in Qiu Fu.

Qiu Fu didn't mind, he led the army forward without saying a word, but Li Bao understood Wang Xiu's painstaking efforts, so he couldn't help saying: "My lord, I'm afraid it's not good to go right away."

Wang Xiu watched the billowing dust and smoke gradually dissipate, then turned her gaze back to staring at Li Bao, and said quietly: "Everyone has his own aspirations, uncle will understand. I just hope that he will take pity on the lives of officials and don't let them make unnecessary sacrifices!"

Li Bao stared at Wang Xiu, and said seriously: "What your lord said is that a general who can't cherish his soldiers will never achieve success."

Wang Xiu sighed deeply, and said to himself, "Some things are hard to say!"

Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, and Qiu Yun walked over. They were all fully clothed, waiting solemnly for Wang Xiu to issue orders.

"Okay, let's not say too much. The main force of the captives is gradually investing in Mutianpo. It has already violated the taboo of military strategists. I believe that Li Xianggong can survive. Well, my idea is very simple, directly attack their Dazhai, Do you have any questions?" Wang Xiu stared at the three of them with a serious expression.

Although the three of them are still team generals, the troops under their jurisdiction have reached the first-level scale. Feng Yuan's team has more than 78 Bubazi, [-] horses, more than [-] cavalry, and more than [-] horses.Jing Bo and Qiu Yun each have more than [-] cavalry, and each has more than [-] horses. They are the absolute main force of the [-] generals, and the three of them will be responsible for the main attack.

"Sir, I'm afraid there is still an ambush in the captive village. I think we should attack the rear of the main force of the captives." Qiu Yun disagreed on tactics.

Wang Xiu was not dissatisfied with Qiu Yun's objection. Before the decision was made, any general had the right to speak. Even if it was wrong, it was worth encouraging. their advice.

Jing Bo smacked his lips, and said in a deep voice: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. They just won a game, so they must be unprepared. We will definitely break the stockade, and I will be the vanguard."

Feng Yuan pondered for a while, and said slowly: "In normal times, the captives must be afraid of our army. Since there are 2000 people bluffing and throwing themselves into the battlefield of Mutianpo, I think they will definitely be able to surprise us and achieve great results."

Wang Xiu's eyelids twitched, Feng Yuan was telling the truth!The reason why he accommodated Qiu Fu was not only to take the overall situation and sentiment into account, but also to distract the Jin army's attention.To put it bluntly, make full use of Qiu Fu's value and act as a bait to divert the attention of Wu Shu and others. After all, the arrival of the commander-in-chief flag will definitely affect other people's judgment.

Wu Shu and Gao Sheng attached great importance to him, and when they couldn't reconcile Qiu Fu's wishes, they had no choice but to kick Qiu Fu out of the game. The two thousand cavalry troops were sacrificed in exchange for the bait to launch a surprise attack.

However, it has to be said that Feng Yuan already has the basic qualities of a qualified general, whether it is judgment or mood, they are all excellent, which makes him very happy.

"There is no certainty of victory, but we have a glimmer of hope. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win." Wang Xiu decided to attack Moutuogang.

Mu Tianpo, the two sides invested a lot of troops, fighting in the dark, tens of thousands of gold cavalry were divided into several teams, constantly attacking the Song army's formation, and tens of thousands of pacers approached the Song army's formation with bows and crossbows, trying to open a gap.

It is true that Li Gang is a scholar, but his perseverance is tenacious, and he restrained all the troops from fighting to the death.There were originally tens of thousands of people in the Yuying Division, plus Wang Shigu, Fan Qiong and other tribes, the Song Army had tens of thousands of troops, forming a powerful army formation.

The Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty is known for its military formations. As long as there are tens of thousands of people, they can form a solid military formation, which is difficult to be defeated by the enemy.In the defensive battles since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are very few battles in which an army of more than 5 people has been defeated by the enemy. Although the kidnappers of the Jin army are extremely sharp, if they want to defeat a large army, as long as the Song army can grit their teeth and persist, they are still powerless. .

"78 will appear in Mutianpo."

"Do you see clearly how many troops they have?"

"Is it the flag of the general or the flag of the lieutenant general?"

Wulibu, Jiamu and Wushu were in the big tent, and Wushu kept asking the 78 generals, which made them a little depressed.

Mother Jia didn't understand why Wu Shu valued Wang Xiu, so she couldn't help but frowned and said, "Fourth brother, isn't he just a literati and thousands of soldiers, so there's no need to make a fuss?"

Wu Shu glanced at his mother, he did not dare to be careless towards his uncle, and said in a deep voice, "Wang Xiu is a capable university, he is different from those sour scholars in the Southern Dynasties."

"Isn't it just learning from the heart! It's okay to bully the bandits, but fighting us is simply beyond our control." Wo Li couldn't help laughing.

Wu Shu didn't argue with them, but he had carefully collected Wang Xiu's information, and after careful analysis, he said indifferently: "According to the military situation in the past two years, not to mention Wang Xiu's deceitful use of troops, 78 will be established by him alone. You have also seen in the battles these days, how strong will 78 be?"
