In fact, after the first bloody battle in Moutuogang, Wanyan Zongwang had been very, very careful, but he still fell into Li Qi's trap, and a sense of frustration arose spontaneously. If not, this feeling would not have been so strong.
.
Yes, Wanyan Zongwang is very powerful in military campaigns, and ten Li Qi may not be his opponent, but when it comes to conspiracy, ten Wanyan Zongwang may not be Li Qi's opponent either.
Since they crossed the Yellow River, they have begun to step into Li Qi's trap step by step. This does not mean that Li Qi's plan is impeccable. There have been two accidents. The first time was during the Kaifeng Defense War. Without Zhao Jingyan
With his help, Wanyan Zongwang is very likely to completely annihilate the main force of the Forbidden Army.
There was a human element to this, but for Li Qi, it was just pure luck because he didn't expect this at all.
This second time was the imperial edict issued by Song Huizong. This was not luck. In fact, Li Qi had expected this. But what he did not expect was that Wanyan Zongwang would send people to negotiate with Song Huizong, so that Song Huizong
Pointed the target at him.
This was something Li Qi did not expect, but Li Qi's plan originally included this trick. Therefore, he did not panic at that time and followed his plan to use the emperor and these civil servants to confuse Wanyan Zongwang.
But even so, Wanyan Zongwang never fell for the trick. What he never expected was that Zhang Chun'er, who had provided him with countless valuable information, would actually give him a trick of Infernal Affairs.
Even now, he did not think that Zhang Chun'er had betrayed him.
It was precisely because of these unexpected things that he suffered a huge defeat. If he hadn't been lucky enough to sneak across the Yellow River at night, he might have been imprisoned at this time.
Li Qi and Wanyan Zongwang were enemies looking at each other across the river. One was full of grief and anger, while the other was full of regret.
What a pity! I haven't caught him yet! It seems that I am too confident in myself. Li Qi secretly sighed, in fact, he had no way to stop this, because in order to completely paralyze Zhang Bangchang, he had
He couldn't show up, so that that night, he didn't even dare to send people out to get information, because there were Jin spies everywhere.
Moreover, Daming Mansion was still in the hands of the Jin at that time, so he did not dare to send troops to cross the river secretly. He could only ask Zhang Shuye to mobilize troops from Tokyo East Road to stop the soldiers who came ashore, and tried not to let any of them escape.
However, in terms of strategy, Wanyan Zongwang always wanted to be one step ahead of him, and he was on guard against this from the very beginning, so much so that Uncle Zhang failed in his success and was almost betrayed.
Li Qi suddenly raised his hand and waved to Wanyan Zongwang.
Wanyan Zongwang had a cold smile on his lips and nodded vigorously.
Li Qi whispered again to Yue Fan beside him.
When Wanyan Zongbi over there saw Li Qi, he was furious and said angrily: "If I don't kill this stinky cook in my life, I swear I won't be a human being."
Wanyan Zongwang glanced at Wanyan Zongbi and was about to speak when suddenly Liu Yanzong said: "Second Prince, look quickly."
Wanyan Zongwang turned around and saw a row of Song troops suddenly standing opposite. They all put their hands to their mouths, and heard them shout: "Wanyan kid opposite, please listen carefully, we are Bu Shuai
Let me tell you, the game of cat and mouse has begun. You have one day to escape, and one day later, we will go and catch you. I hope you will be smarter and don't be fooled again."
These hundreds of people shouted in unison, their voices echoing in the sky, soul-stirring, and filled with the pride of the Song Army.
After hearing this, the soldiers of the Jin Army were so furious that they all demanded a decisive battle with the Song Army here. Only Liu Yanzong strongly opposed it. He thought that they should go back quickly at this time to reorganize their troops and horses before planning anything else.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Wanyan Zongwang.
Wanyan Zongwang suddenly burst into laughter, and his face lit up. He said excitedly: "Interesting! Interesting! Yes, this game has just begun, how can I be discouraged by this." After that, he whispered a few words towards Liu Yanzong.
After a while, another group of golden soldiers were seen shouting towards the other side: "The second prince asked me to tell you, thank you for the hospitality of the stinky cook, we will remember it in our hearts, and we will definitely repay you a hundred times in the future, and I also like it very much."
In this game, it’s just that we still don’t know who is the cat and who is the mouse. Let’s go first. Don’t keep us waiting too long.”
After shouting, Wanyan Zongwang raised the whip in his hand towards Li Qi, then pulled the reins and led thousands of remaining troops to disappear on the north bank.
"As expected of Wanyan Zongwang, this game is getting more and more interesting. It can be said to be a happy thing to have such an opponent in life!"
Li Qi smiled softly and said to the breeder again: "Brother, please give me an order."
Zhong Shidao glared at him and said: "You kid are deliberately trying to embarrass me. You are the one who fought this battle. Why do you want me to give you an order? It makes no sense."
The seed master chuckled and said, "Brother, the Duke of Ming Dynasty is afraid that we two old men will rely on our old age and act like we're old, so he wants to retreat in order to advance and make us obedient."
Zhong Shidao glanced at Li Qi with a smile in his eyes and said, "Really?"
Sweat! In fact, you don’t need to say some things. These two old guys together are really a headache. Li Qi was extremely embarrassed by these two old guys. This is the advantage of having more people, he said hurriedly
: "How is it possible? Although I, Li Qi, am young, I am not small-minded, and I am quite self-aware. I would never say this when doing business, but in a war, I have to rely on two old generals.
"
Zhong Shidao said seriously: "Since you are the commander-in-chief, you naturally give the command. I also understand that your military discipline is strict. To fight under your command, you only need to do three things: obey, obey, and obey. You can rest assured.
Yes, if you point east, I will never go west."
The more he said this, the more Li Qi felt really embarrassed. After all, these two people were both highly respected, how could he, a junior, dare to point fingers in front of them.
Zhong Shizhong seemed to have seen through Li Qi's hesitation and said: "Ming Guogong, please don't forget that this matter is not just about fighting the Jin soldiers. We don't dare to be the commander-in-chief."
This is a good reason. It seems that this kind of second master is more tactful than Comrade Lao Zhong. Li Qi nodded and said: "Then I will do my duty."
"The position of commander-in-chief should belong to you." Master Zhong said.
Li Qi immediately issued an order to clean up the battlefield quickly, and ordered Han Shizhong to dock immediately and transport the soldiers there, while Zhang Shuye guarded the north bank to prevent enemy sneak attacks.
The war was actually over long ago, and all those who resisted tenaciously were wiped out. A total of more than 30,000 Jin troops were annihilated and captured in this battle. In view of the previous Kaifeng defense battle, the Jin army also lost 20,000 people, so this number is actually
Not too surprising, but you should know that the Song army suffered only three to four thousand casualties in this battle. This ratio is simply overwhelming. If the two sides were changed, it might be more acceptable.
.
Not only that, it can be estimated just by visual inspection. They also obtained tens of thousands of high-quality war horses. This is really the most perfect harvest for today's Song Army!
After clearing the battlefield, Han Shizhong also docked the ship. He and his wife Liang Hongyu got off the ship hand in hand and hurriedly walked towards Li Qi.
"Han Shizhong (Liang family) meets Bu Shuai."
The two of them then made another salute.
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "You two have worked really hard."
Zhong Shidao laughed and said: "General Han is really better than his predecessors, and Mrs. Han is really a woman who is not inferior to men, which makes people admire her very much."
"The stud has been rewarded."
Han Shizhong and his wife quickly raised their hands to indicate that they were not very famous now, perhaps not as famous as Yue Fei. Faced with the praise from Zhong Shidao, they naturally felt flattered. Han Shizhong turned to Li Qi again and said: "It's really embarrassing to say that I thought I was catching him."
I stayed with Wanyan Zongwang, but when I inquired, I found out that this person was not Wanyan Zongwang, but the commander of the Jin Army along the way, Wanyan Zongwang's uncle and mother."
Master Zhong smiled and said: "What? Isn't General Han not satisfied? I have heard of this man, but he is also a man who has experienced hundreds of battles. He made countless achievements with Jin Taizu, so far. This is what we have captured
The most notorious prisoner living here!”
Han Shizhong smiled modestly, but he still felt a little regretful that he could not catch Wanyan Zongwang. He then asked Li Qi: "How should we deal with this mother?"
Li Qi didn't hesitate at all and said immediately: "There's no need to bring him to see me. We don't understand the language, and I have nothing to talk to him. I'm afraid he'll spit on me, so I'll take him up with me. I'll keep it."
He is still useful."
"yes."
Li Qi added: "General Han, your mission has not been completed yet. After transporting the soldiers across the Yellow River, you have to divert to the canal to cooperate with us in retaking Yanshan Mansion. In addition, you have to be responsible for transporting grain and cargo ships.
I've already arranged everything."
Zhongshidao nodded and said: "In the vast plains of the north, the supply of food and grass is indeed a problem. The cavalry of the Jin Army can continue to make deep detours. If you are not careful, you may be robbed by the Jin Army. If you walk on the water,
If so, with just our fleet, the Jin Army can only look forward to it and sigh."
Han Shizhong cupped his fists and said: "Commander Bu, please rest assured that Han will definitely fulfill his mission."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course I believe General Han."
At this time Yue Fei came over and said: "Commander Bu, what should we do with these prisoners?"
Li Qidao: "How many?"
"The specifics are not clear yet, but it is estimated that there are not 10,000, but maybe 8,000."
Li Qi sighed and said: "Most of them are Khitans and us Han people. In this war, many of our compatriots died. We need to replenish fresh blood. It would be a pity to kill them. Let's keep them."
Master Zhong said: "There are so many people and it is difficult to guard them. I think it is better to disperse them and send them to various places and directly integrate them into the local forbidden army."
Li Qi nodded and said: "What the old general said is very reasonable, but for now, they must not be left in Tokyo to avoid trouble. Let's let General Han send the prisoners to Denglaiqing and other places first.
Go, and then deal with it slowly, but try to be kind to them. As for those generals, take them all north with me, they may still be of some use to me."
