Chapter 1111 Qin Hui lures the big fish to deliver, ask for a monthly ticket)
Except for the Zhongshidao brothers who had already known about Li Qi's plan, everyone else was shocked after hearing these words.
It has to be said that Li Qi's appetite is much greater than they imagined. They thought that annihilating Wanyan Zongwang's army would be a great blessing among misfortunes. It was very remarkable and could even be said to be the limit. However,
They never thought that the encirclement and annihilation of Wanyan Zongwang was just the beginning, and that Li Qi's goal was actually to lead the army to the west and regain Yunzhou.
Master Zhong said: "According to the news we got a few days ago, the Jin army along the way has reached the Taihang Mountains and is probably far away from Taiyuan now. I think this plan is very successful."
Yue Fei stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Commander Bu, the last general is willing to lead the troops and go."
The Taoist Master raised his hand and said: "Yue Fei, that Wanyan Zonghan is not easy to mess with, and there is also Wanyan Xiyin here. It is said that this person is both civil and military, and his talents are not inferior to Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang. You still
too young."
If someone else had said this, Yue Fei would definitely not accept it, but since these words came from his mentor Zhongshi Dao, he did not dare to say anything.
Li Qi nodded and said: "The breeder is right, Yue Fei, this is your disadvantage and your advantage. I believe that sooner or later, you will surpass them."
Seeing that Li Qi had spoken, Yue Fei knew that it was impossible to let him go, so he nodded awkwardly and sat back.
Li Qi then said to Master Zhong: "Old General Zhong, I'll leave it to you for this trip!"
Zhong Shizhong nodded and said: "The Jin army in the west can only have 60,000 troops at most. They lost a lot when they attacked Taiyuan. The number sent to Kaifeng is estimated to be only about 20,000. To be on the safe side,
I feel that if we go with 60,000 troops, we will be safe."
After Yue Fei, Wu Jie and others heard this, they felt that the old general was too cautious. The opponent had less than 60,000 troops in total. You only went to encircle and annihilate part of them, but you asked for 60,000 troops as soon as you opened your mouth. This is not long-term.
Are others ambitious?
After all, they are still too young. I don’t know how powerful Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin are. With these two people standing together, no one dares to underestimate them. Li Qi originally planned to directly send 80,000 species troops from among the cultivators.
He went forward. Hearing what he said, he did not force himself. He nodded and said: "Sixty thousand troops are reasonable and reasonable. But the old general should not be too radical. Wanyan Zongwang only has a few thousand remaining troops in his hands now. Once we encircle and annihilate these
The remaining troops will rush to Taiyuan immediately, so if there is no good opportunity, General Zhong just needs to try his best to hold them off."
Master Zhong nodded and said, "I understand."
Li Qi suddenly thought of something and asked quickly: "By the way, sir, is it okay in the west?"
Zhong Shidao stroked his beard. He laughed and said: "You expected it right at first. Although Xixia agreed to the agreement of the Jin Kingdom and joined forces to attack the Song Dynasty, they had to rely on the Song Dynasty in many aspects. Therefore, they seemed a little hesitant.
Although a large army was deployed to station at the border of the Song Dynasty, it did not move at first. It was not until Wanyan Zongwang arrived at the Yellow River that he sent an army to attack Xingzi Fort. He was well prepared in the division and ordered his general Zhang Jun to lead the army.
Five thousand soldiers and horses were ambushed here and they defeated the Xixia army. After that, although the Xixia army did not withdraw, they did not invade either."
Zhong Shizhong chuckled: "If it weren't for your letter, asking us to adopt a gentle policy towards Xixia, how could that army escape back to Xixia?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Xixia is a small country and cannot afford to make big waves. They can only continue to deal with big countries. If they cannot destroy Xixia in one fell swoop, then they must not regard him as an absolute enemy. In the future, Xixia may
It’s still unclear whether it will become a trump card in our hands!”
A group of generals discussed the matter until late at night in order to regain the lost territory in Hebei and Yunzhou, and then finalized a complete set of combat plans.
At dawn the next day, the Zhong division led 60,000 Zhong troops to Taiyuan, while Han Shizhong led the navy to suppress the prisoners, diverted to the canal, and headed north to Yanshan Prefecture.
Li Qi, on the other hand, led the main force north along the canal. Now that he knew Wanyan Zongwang's destination, he certainly would not follow Wanyan Zongwang's back. This road is the shortest and safest.
Fortunately, he had relocated the people in advance, and Wanyan Zongwang did not send anyone to garrison. Everywhere he went there were empty cities, which also saved him a lot of trouble, and he marched at full speed.
……．
Xingzhou!
Wanyan Zongwang led thousands of remaining troops and fled all the way without stopping for a moment. It only took three or four days to arrive at Xingzhou. This Xingzhou was defeated by him in the first place and could be said to be under his control. He
Then they stopped and let the soldiers and horses rest for the night.
Wanyan Zongwang squatted by the stream, washed his face, and looked at the reflection in the water. He saw that his hair was scattered, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely embarrassed. He couldn't help but sigh, shook his head, and looked gloomy.
Liu Yanzong and Wanyan Zongbi came from behind and felt very sad when they saw Wanyan Zong staring at the river and saying nothing.
"Second Prince, this failure was just because we were unlucky, or the Southern Dynasty was very lucky. Second Prince, you don't have to worry about it," Liu Yanzong said.
Wanyan Zongwang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Although we fell into the treacherous scheme of that stinky cook and suffered this defeat, I believe that I should bear full responsibility for this defeat."
He stood up with his hands on his knees and said: "Anyway, we still underestimated the Southern Dynasty too much. We originally thought that we could capture Kaifeng in one fell swoop, so we went deep alone. Moreover, because we advanced too fast, the battle line was too long.
We couldn't get supplies at all. At that time, we didn't even think about the consequences if we didn't capture Kaifeng. Now that we think about it, this defeat was already doomed. If my father were here, he would never make such a mistake.
, this is all caused by ourselves, I have nothing to say for losing this battle."
Wanyan Zongbi and Liu Yanzong were silent when they heard this. They all agreed with Wanyan Zongwang's words. Their strategy this time was completely a mistake. They were not fully prepared and did not take the enemy seriously. If it weren't for the help of the ignorant king and sycophant of the Song Dynasty,
, whether they can reach Kaifeng remains to be seen.
Wanyan Zongwang smiled again and said confidently: "But you don't have to be discouraged. This time the troops were sent out, the losses of the Southern Dynasty were far greater than ours. Yes, we did lose troops and generals, but they were not much better, and this war was not theirs.
The battle was fought on the territory of Dajin. Our mainland of Dajin has not been eroded by any war. In total, we at least did not suffer any losses. When we go south again in the future, we can learn the lesson well and avoid repeating the same mistakes and the demise of the Southern Dynasty.
, which is also just around the corner.”
"The Second Prince is right. No matter in terms of population, military strength, or even material losses, the Southern Dynasties are several times more than ours, and we also captured Yanshan Mansion." Liu Yanzong nodded and asked: "I don't know, Second Prince
Are you planning to withdraw to Yanshan Mansion now, or go to Taiyuan to meet with General Wanyan?"
This Xingzhou can be said to be a fork in the road. Go northwest and bypass the Taihang Mountains to reach Taiyuan. Go northeast and you will reach Yanshan Prefecture.
Wanyan Zongwang snorted angrily and said: "Although the responsibility for this failure lies with us, if Wanyan Zonghan hadn't insisted on going his own way and refused to accept my suggestions, how could I have suffered such a disastrous defeat? I will wait to find him again at this time
, I’m afraid we will still be ridiculed by him, so we should go back to Yanshan Mansion and reorganize our troops. Since that stinky cook dares to come out, I will make sure he never comes back."

Kaifeng Bianliang.
Ouchi.
Qin Hui quickly walked into the hall, and Zhao Kai, who was sitting on it, quickly asked: "How is it? Did they give in?"
Qin Hui saluted and then said: "The regent can rest assured, these people are bullies and afraid of force. I just threatened them a little, and they immediately complied with it. This is the memorial and letter they wrote. Please also ask the regent."
The king has a look."
As he spoke, he took out a memorial and several letters from his sleeve and presented them.
Zhao Kai hurriedly picked it up and read it carefully. After reading it, he suddenly laughed and said: "With these letters, I believe that my father and Grand Master Cai will definitely believe them and set off back to Beijing as soon as possible."
Qin Hui suddenly frowned and did not answer.
Zhao Kai looked at Qin Hui and said, "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Qin Hui said: "The official thought that this plan might be able to hide from the emperor, but Cai Taishi and others are not ordinary people. In any case, we still disobeyed the emperor's order. They will definitely notice this. These letters
Although it was written by their cronies, I’m afraid it’s hard for them to believe it.”
When Zhao Kai heard this, he felt that what Qin Hui said made sense. He frowned for a moment and said, "If we can't hide it from them, our plan will probably not work!"
Qin Hui said: "That's not necessarily the case."
Zhao Kai was stunned and said: "If you have any good ideas, tell me quickly."
Qin Hui said: "This plan is a bit risky. It depends on whether the regent has the courage."
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "We've already come this far. If there's anything else I dare not do, it's up to you."
Qin Hui said: "It's very simple, bear the thorn and apologize."
Zhao Kai frowned when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Apologise for your sins?"
"good!"
Qin Hui said: "The regent can wear common people's clothes and lead a small number of troops to the north bank of the Yangtze River to meet the emperor. And for disobeying the emperor's order, he can plead guilty to the emperor and retreat in order to advance, and silence them first. The emperor and Grand Master Cai
When they saw that the regent only brought such a few people, they would definitely dispel their suspicions. In any case, the regent had a great victory over the Jin army, saved Kaifeng, and also avoided ceding Taiyuan, Zhongshan, Hejian and other places to the Jin country, and even
Even the annual tribute may be waived, which is a great achievement. The emperor will never punish the regent, and will also praise the regent. In this way, the big plan will be successful. Of course, things are unpredictable. This time, when I go there,
The danger is still inevitable, it depends on whether His Highness dares to take this gamble."
Zhao Kai didn't hesitate at all, nodded and said: "Okay! That's it."
