Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 386 Turning Moment 5
Yan Ying is a literati, but not an idiot. Seeing the change of color between the two of them, she immediately asked: "What's going on, but the captives are going to attack?"

Orihiko's face was very ugly, and he said with difficulty: "It's the horn of the march, and the captives are about to attack."

Li Hui's eyelids twitched, and the arrogance he had just disappeared instantly, replaced by deep fear.

Zhe Yanzhi put down his wine glass, frowned and said: "The prisoner is a spoiler." After finishing speaking, he shouted loudly: "Go and check what's going on? Come and report quickly."

But Wang Xiu waved her hand and said, "It's okay, if they can't fight, we can still prepare calmly."

Zhe Yanzhi frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "Oh, is there any punishment for the servant system?"

"A dog that can bark doesn't bite." Wang Xiu smiled lightly, stood up and said, "Just in case, I'd like to tell General Jingxi a few words. Xuanfu won't be offended, right?"

Zhe Yanzhi's face was a little unnatural, he laughed a few times, and reluctantly said: "What the servant system said is very true, very true, the general of Jingxi has been dispatched by me recently, and there are still many inconveniences."

If it were to be changed to normal times, or to the request of Li Gang and others, he would definitely refuse. Wang Xiu's move would be tantamount to affecting the generals of Northwest Beijing Road, and as a leading general, he would never tolerate it.But today, there is another level of consideration. Wang Xiu is not only the commander of the Jingxi Festival, but also has a reputation for being fierce. He has sent official letters several times to assign the Jingxi soldiers to Wang Xiu, but he was rejected. He knows Wang Xiu's motto Soldiers are more valuable than many, knowing that the opponent disdains those generals.

Besides, the generals in the west of Beijing were unruly and rebellious, and he was not very comfortable in mobilizing them, so asking Wang Xiu to ask him, maybe it would be much more convenient to control them, and it was an expedient measure.

A 'sincere' smile appeared on Wang Xiu's face, and she took a not-so-critical but very important step.As an envoy of the Northwest Route of Beijing, he is not like Zhe Yanzhi who controlled the generals expediently during the war, and he has not failed. Warriors respect the brave and strategic commander most, not to mention that he is still a civil servant, a deterrent to the generals in the west of Beijing , much higher than the Orihiko quality
From Orihiko's expression, he could see the fear of Jin Jun in the other party's heart, and he was definitely trying to beat his spirits.

It's no wonder that he fought against the Jin army several times and was defeated by the Jin army. General Lianghe has long had a chronic disease of talking about gold like a tiger in his heart.He didn't know the reason why more than [-] troops were scared by drum beating overnight, but he was very disappointed with the cowardice of the Xuanfu envoy. The soldiers probably dispersed before the fight started.

"However, no matter what, we have to take precautions. I think it's time to break up! I have to prepare the army for war." Wang Xiu stood up very rudely. Since he changed his mind temporarily, he would send Li Hui and Yan Ying away. Drive away, in his plan, the two are insignificant, and he doesn't want to go too far.

In case a ruler or a scholar of the pavilion joins in, I'm afraid he will have to do it as a last resort, and he will lose a lot of points. He must not increase the burden at critical moments, and avoid moving important officials if he can.

Zhe Yanzhi looked at Li Hui and Yan Ying apologetically, and said, "My lords, the military situation is urgent, so we can only drink happily next time."

Yan Ying chuckled, and said: "Everything is about the overall situation, I should go back and have a look, and I can't let the captives take advantage of the loopholes."

Li Hui also understood the priorities, so he hurried back to his camp, so he could rest assured, after all, there were five thousand horses defending him, so he quickly said, "It's not too late, hurry up and leave."

After sending the two away, Orihiko said with a smile: "There is a servant system sitting in Hekou, so I can rest assured."

Wang Xiu shook her head and said with a smile: "There are also ten thousand people in the subordinate department, all of them can be dispatched, and Xuanfu should also send orders to all the villages to step up their defenses."

Zhe Yanzhi's face was awkward for a while, how many of these defeated generals who retreated from the east of the river could listen to his orders?Even those uncles in Jingxi would be enough for him to drink a pot. Wang Xiu's words may be unquestionable, but it's like slapping him in the face!

"What the waiter said makes sense, please ask the waiter to summon all the generals in the west of Beijing, and we will defend against the enemy together." Fortunately, he has also been trained, so he reluctantly said it with a cheeky face.

"How do we deal with the captives crossing the river every day and night?" Wang Xiu smiled faintly, her brows were full of peaceful kindness.

"Take care of each village." Zhe Yanzhi said without hesitation, not paying attention to Wang Xiu's expression.

"Just guarding the stronghold?" Wang Xiu said with flickering eyes.

Zhe Yanzhi sighed, as if he was afraid that Wang Xiu would misunderstand that he was avoiding the battle, so he hurriedly said: "The captives are coming fiercely, most of our troops are long-lost troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist, why not stick to the camp with the whole army, we will see the situation."

"Okay!" Wang Xiu said sharply, a murderous intent flashed in her eyelids.

"There is a service system."

"Xuanfu, you don't need to be too polite, you and I are both ministers, regardless of each other." Wang Xiu forced a smile, and he got out of the big tent, ordering Feng Yuan to follow Officer Geng Shu to call all the generals in the west of Beijing to meet him.

At this time, he understood why the 12 Song army was defeated overnight, and Zhe Yanzhi was also considered a man of strategy, but during the time of life and death, he made an unforgivable mistake. Soldiers and horses were afraid of the Jin army, each village closed its doors and listened to the beating drums of the Jin army on the north bank.

You must know that bombing the camp is the most taboo in the army. Once the soldiers convulse in their sleep, it will cause a riot that cannot be suppressed by a series of bombs, and the chain reaction will lead to the collapse of the whole village.And Orihiko, as the coach, didn't take the initiative to pull out the rotating troops to line up. It is really not enough to pay for the crime, and his guilt is much lighter in his heart.

With this kind of mood in mind, Wang Xiu stared at Zhang Changning, He Zhengtao, and Qin Liang without saying a word, but just stared at them closely, with a cold light in his eyes that made all the generals present feel a little worried.

The three of them noticed that Wang Xiu's eyesight was not good, and there was a faint murderous look. For some reason, there was always an ominous feeling.Wang Xiu is a well-known butcher. As generals in the west of Beijing, they knew that during the Three Battles in Hedong, Wang Xiu was ruthless to the enemy, and he was also ruthless to his own people. General, Wang Xiu probably already knew about Zhe Yanzhi's positive obedience and Yin Yin's disobedience. .

Just when the three of them were feeling uneasy, Wang Xiu said in a deep voice: "The captives are about to cross the river, and I have been admonishing you for a long time just now, but he is still determined to go his own way. The life and death of more than [-] soldiers are at stake. You are all generals in the west of Beijing, what should we do about the confrontation between the two armies in Jiahe, and the strategy of advancing and retreating in battle?"

Wang Xiu made it clear that Zheyan was afraid of the enemy and avoiding the battle. His position was very clear and he would never allow others to misunderstand. The clever generals of the three present could also express some meaning. They booed each other and didn't know how to answer, but they understood, It is absolutely impossible not to answer, and you will never get out of the big tent. The atmosphere in the scene is heavy.
