Chapter 13 Talking on Paper

At a time when the situation between the Song Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom was becoming increasingly tense, two pieces of news quickly escalated the scale of the war that had not yet begun. His Royal Highness, King Rong, who had great power in the Jin Kingdom, announced that he would personally lead his troops south to destroy the Song Kingdom.

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun, also announced that in order to avenge the late emperor, he would go on a personal expedition.

This is the rhythm of a fight to the death!

The Mongols were ecstatic about this. They did not expect that just one assassination would have such a wonderful effect. When both countries were defeated and Mongolia came to dominate the world, happiness came so suddenly, which made these Mongolian warriors somewhat

I can't believe it. No wonder the people of the Central Plains like to use strategies. It turns out that a good strategy is more effective than a charge with thousands of troops.

Yang Kang's ability to lead a personal expedition was something he had worked hard for. It was not easy to convince Shi Miyuan and the Empress Dowager. Although he was just a puppet, the emperor was a symbol of the entire country. Appearing on the front line of the war could certainly boost morale, but once defeated

, especially death or capture, it would be a shame for the entire country.

However, His Majesty the Emperor had to go. It was useless to sit in the palace to control the situation ahead. He could only seize the military power with his own hands. For this reason, he did not hesitate to act more forcefully, which might arouse Shi Miyuan's vigilance.

, but in order to prevent the war between Song and Jin, he no longer cared about a lot.

In the winter of the first year of Baoqing of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Yun of the Song Dynasty went on a personal expedition, while Prime Minister Shi Miyuan stayed in Lin'an Imperial City, and Xie Yili, the Imperial Academy's Attendant, accompanied him on the expedition.

A few days later, His Majesty the Emperor arrived at Xiangyang Mansion, which was the forefront of the battle between Song and Jin. At this time, the guard general of Xiangyang City was named Meng Zongzheng. The ancestor of the Meng family, Meng An, was Yue Fei's general, and Meng Zongzheng

His son Meng Gong left a glorious mark in history. In the subsequent war between the Song Dynasty and Mongolia, Meng Gong single-handedly controlled two-thirds of the Song Dynasty's battle fronts, and was called the master of mobile defense by later generations.

, is an outstanding military commander.

Yang Kang didn't know this history. He just heard that Meng Zongzheng was a talented general. When he came to Xiangyang City, he summoned General Meng. After hearing Meng Zongzheng's preparations and strategies for this war, His Majesty the Emperor asked Xie Yili to take the

After showing the topographic map of the Xiangyang area, I began to explain how this war should be fought.

General Meng closed his eyes in pain. What he was most worried about finally happened. He understood that His Majesty the Emperor had just ascended the throne and needed a victory to increase his prestige. However, such haphazard command would lead to big troubles, and all those who died would be his men.

Soldier, His Majesty the Emperor completely overturned his strategy of focusing on defense and waiting for opportunities to counterattack, and instead focused on offense.

Talk on paper!

Meng Zongzheng couldn't help but think of this allusion in history. Zhao Kuo of the Zhao State in the Pre-Qin Dynasty did not know how to adapt and commanded randomly, which led to the 400,000 Zhao troops being killed in the Battle of Changping. Is history going to repeat itself in Xiangyang City? Thinking of this

, Meng Zongzheng was unhappy and interrupted His Majesty the Emperor's explanation without permission.

"Your Majesty, the battlefield is ever-changing. If we make a plan early, it may affect our chances of fighting." Meng Zongzheng warned tactfully.

"General Meng, I know what you are thinking, but this time we must follow the plan. If you make changes without authorization, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your family." Yang Kang said coldly, "

This is not your war alone."

Meng Zongzheng's heart felt cold. He seemed to have foreseen the situation where corpses were everywhere outside Xiangyang City. His Majesty the Emperor was not only stupid, but also very vicious. With such a mood, he left the emperor's palace and returned to his own mansion.

The four sons were waiting in the palace. Seeing their father's disappointed look, they thought they had been reprimanded by the emperor.

There was a sand table in Meng's Mansion, and General Meng had no choice but to deduce His Majesty the Emperor's strategy on the sand table...

"Isn't this a fake fight?" Meng Gong, who was watching from the sidelines, asked doubtfully, "But how did the emperor know that the Jin people would definitely form the formation like this?"

Half a month ago, in Prince Rong's Mansion in the Imperial City of Kaifeng, Prince Rong looked at the former Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Jin in front of him.

"Did he ask me to accompany him to fake a fight?" King Rong said in a deep voice, "Sending out hundreds of thousands of troops is nothing but a child's play. If you accidentally make a fake show, it will be a real fight."

"Your Majesty, since your Majesty has decided on this plan, he will definitely ensure that no accident will happen." Lou Shidao said respectfully, "I have already come here as a hostage, my lord, still can't trust your majesty?"

"Believe him?" The Third Prince snorted coldly, "Didn't he deceive me enough?"

"Your Majesty, that is all in the past." Lou Shidao persuaded, "When the minister comes, your Majesty asked him to tell the prince a message."

"Oh, what are you talking about?" King Rong asked calmly.

"His Majesty said that he would never attack the Kingdom of Jin in his life." Lou Shidao recounted.

Rong Wang Wanyan Hongxi fell silent, and finally said nothing, just sighed longly.

The war between the Song State and the Jin State finally began. Centered on the two cities of Xiangyang and Zaoyang, nearly 600,000 troops from the two countries gathered. Attacks continued every day. Today, the Jin soldiers attacked the city, and tomorrow, the Song soldiers

Attacking the city was very busy. When the Jin soldiers attacked the city, the Song soldiers had already withdrawn. When the Song soldiers attacked the city, the Jin soldiers were not inside.

Once the city is captured, they will report how many enemies they killed and how much they lost, as if they really killed so many enemies. The two sides started a fierce battle in Xiangyang City. After a month, the imperial report reported that the number of casualties among sergeants had exceeded

One hundred thousand, the battle was extremely brutal, and the actual number of casualties was less than a hundred. Some of these people were accidentally injured, and some were unlucky enough to be hit by something when they retreated.

This is undoubtedly a big lie, but it requires extremely precise control capabilities by the generals of both sides. If one of the troops makes an independent decision and kills the other party's troops, it will lead to an all-out war between the two countries. This is why Yang Kang wants to personally conquer the army.

The reason is why he forced Meng Zongzheng to proceed as planned. This scene was not only for the people of the Song Dynasty, but also for the Mongols.

His Majesty the Emperor made a real version of the attack and defense game using hundreds of thousands of troops as chess pieces, treating war as a child's play. I am afraid that only he can afford to play this kind of game in the world, and only his uncle, the Three Kings, would accompany him so crazy.

As the game continued, just like in Prince Rong's Mansion, the two drew their swords at each other, but they couldn't bear to kill each other.

Meng Zongzheng no longer doubted His Majesty the Emperor's plan, but began to wonder why His Majesty the Emperor knew the Jin people's strategy in advance, and what was the purpose of performing this scene? His Majesty the Emperor did not give an answer, he could only guess on his own.

I'm afraid it's not just to appease public anger, it has many other meanings.

Yang Kang couldn't control what Meng Zongzheng guessed. He was engaged in another war. The war with the Kingdom of Jin was a fake one, but the war with the Jueqing Valley was a real one. He had long wanted to take over the Jueqing Valley as his own, but His Majesty the Emperor was no longer the one he once had.

The lone hero who broke into the tiger's den alone. Since he has an army at his disposal, why bother to take risks in the Valley of Desolation? What if something happens to him? The poison of love flowers can kill people.

So His Majesty the Emperor shamelessly used the power in his hands to mobilize an army of 30,000 people and march towards the Jueqing Valley. The reason was that there were assassins who assassinated the late emperor. This is correct. Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianren were related, and Qiu Qianren assassinated the Emperor of Song Dynasty.

That was to implicate the nine tribes. Yang Kang just took the opportunity to level the Jueqing Valley. He had already learned the path to the Jueqing Valley from Peng Lianhu, but what he didn't expect was that there were many experts gathering in the Jueqing Valley at this time, and the situation was strange.
