Chapter 1129 The imperial decree comes (seeking a monthly ticket)
Li Qi, Zhong Shidao and other generals heard that the Jin soldiers were gathering on the other side and immediately rushed to the shore. By this time, the flood had receded and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
Li Qi looked at the other side with a telescope and saw a dark area with trembling heads, including Wanyan Zonghan and other generals.
Master Zhong saw that although they had gathered troops, that was all. He stroked his beard and said: "It seems that the Jin soldiers are just here to scare people, not to attack."
Li Qi sighed and said, "That's really a pity! Yang Zaixing."
"The end will be here."
"Put out a few arrows, provocation, provocation. Oh, let's be real. Stop firing cannons. It's time to let Brother Zong Han see the power of our new weapons."
"As commanded."
After a while, eight chariots pushed over the shore.
"put!"
Twenty-four arrows flew across the Sangqian River in a graceful arc and landed on the other bank, making a violent explosion. After a burst of smoke, the arrows on the bank were seen left behind by the receding flood.
In the mud, there are twenty-four large pits, connected in an arc, which are very conspicuous.
Moreover, because of the explosion, even the horses of the Jin Army began to become a little restless.
This is obviously showing off muscles!
Wanyan Zonghan had never encountered such treatment before. He hated it in his heart, but looking at the twenty-four big pits, he still had some lingering fear in his heart. If I forcibly crossed the river and this thing fell into the middle of the crowd, it would be fine.
.
One of the generals under his command said angrily: "Capital, Song Zhu is clearly provoking us. We should attack them head-on and see if they dare to be arrogant."
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Since you know they are provoking, then if we attack now, wouldn't it be the enemy's plan in the formation? Du Tong, it seems that the Song army is waiting for us to cross the river. We must not be fooled!"
Wanyan Zonghan was silent. Of course he knew that it was a very unwise decision to cross the river now. But as the commander-in-chief, some words coming out of his mouth were very damaging to morale.
Li Qi on the other side laughed, raised his right hand high, and waved it vigorously.
Wanyan Xiyin couldn't see clearly, but he knew that this person must be Li Qi, and said: "The one waving his hands must be the stinky cook."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Facing Li Qi's provocation, Wanyan Zonghan said three good things in a row, saying: "If this person falls into my hands in the future, I will definitely make life worse than death."
The Song army had crossbows and gunpowder, but they did not. Standing here was just asking for humiliation. Wanyan Zonghan led his soldiers to walk along the river bank again. Observing the Song army's defense, he saw that some key strategic locations had been occupied by the Song army.
Having firmly taken control, the Song Army is still continuing to build fortresses and consolidate its defense lines.
After wandering around for a long time, Wanyan Zonghan couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and sighed to himself. The Song army really has a lot of talents. With this formation and the Song army's advanced weapons, it would be really hard to fight from the west bank to the east bank.
It's difficult.
Now he can only place his hopes on Wanyan Zongwang and Xixia.
However, his first hope soon came to nothing. After Wanyan Zongwang withdrew from Jizhou, he ordered someone to send him an urgent letter. The letter told him that because the Song Army's navy was too powerful,
As a result, they were unable to achieve decisive results, and they are currently unable to recapture Yanshan Mansion.
Not only that, Zongze was worried that Wanyan Zongwang would send troops to support Yunzhou, so he deployed all his troops in the northernmost part of Yanyun area, which is the border of Jizhou, Tanzhou and other places. He also asked Han Shizhong to send the navy into Rushui to make it clear
Just tell Wanyan Zongwang that if you dare to send troops to Yunzhou, I will attack your base camp, Ping and Yingzhou.
Little did he know that Wanyan Zongwang was also afraid that Han Shizhong's navy would go to Yunzhou to support. So he deployed his troops in the Gubei area and told Han Shizhong that if you dare to go to Yunzhou to support, I will immediately send troops to capture Tanzhou and Jizhou. There is no navy.
, I am not afraid of you militiamen.
After Wanyan Zonghan learned all this, he felt helpless. He knew that Wanyan Zongwang was not only unable to capture Yanshan Mansion, but he could not even come here. Regarding the entire layout of the Song Army, he was very puzzled.
With so many talents coming, who are Zong Ze and Han Shizhong?
Little did they know that the Song Dynasty was indeed full of talented people, almost as good as the Taizu era. However, historically, due to the presence of Song Huizong, the biggest boss with a weakening aura, these talents were abolished in martial arts.
Since there is no hope for Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan can only place all his hopes on Xixia.
But within a few days, Xixia sent him a letter back, saying that I had suffered heavy losses during this expedition and was no longer able to send out more troops. I felt very guilty and hoped that you, the big brother, could be considerate.
After talking nonsense for a long time, I just told Wanyan Zonghan that you still have to rely on yourself and don't count on me.
Although Xixia professed their vassalage to the Jin Kingdom, they were not willing to do so, but were forced to do so. Secretly, they still claimed to be kings. If you win, then of course I will send troops to seize the territory, but now you are being conquered by the Song Dynasty.
The army is surrounding and fighting, but if I still send troops, once the Song Dynasty is angered, he will cut off my food supply and tea ceremony, and will not buy my green salt. You will support me!
This cannot be done. Compared with the Jin Kingdom, Xixia still hopes to have good relations with the Song Dynasty, because the Jin Kingdom is poor and the Song Dynasty is rich. Moreover, since the last trade negotiation, the Song Dynasty has completely opened the salt road to Xixia and helped
After they established economic ties with distant Japan and Goryeo, Xixia no longer wanted to go to war with the Song Dynasty.
They are also under great pressure at home, the people have no food to eat, and they hope that the Song Dynasty can help them get rich.
Therefore, at this time, Xixia was unanimously opposed to sending troops to Song.
This letter was so angry that Wanyan Zonghan cursed his mother, saying that if Song Dynasty was destroyed, Xixia would be destroyed. If you reject me now, it would be like stabbing me in the back!
They did not wait for reinforcements. Instead, the Song Army waited for the fleet from the navy. The Song Dynasty had a navy and many shipyards. Therefore, although these ships were not as awesome as Han Shizhong's navy, they were still warships.
It's not a civilian ship like the ones used by the Jin people.
Since the Western Army was not good at water warfare, as soon as the fleet arrived, Li Qi immediately ordered Yue Fan to lead the Forbidden Army to take over the fleet. His Forbidden Army was an amphibious force, so water warfare was out of the question.
With the help of the fleet, there were many more fortresses on the river. Li Qi became even more arrogant and ordered the fleet to swim on the river in front of Wanyan Zonghan, flexing his muscles, as if he was facing the Jin soldiers.
Shout, I'm here, if you have the ability, come and give it a try!
When the Jin army saw the Song army's fleet coming, they felt a little scared. Wanyan Xiyin was now worried that the other side would attack, and ordered his soldiers to build defense equipment on the shore to prevent the Song army's attack.
However, his worries were unnecessary. Unless the Jin army allowed the main force to march into Shuozhou, Li Qi would not cross the river even if he died. This risk was too great and he could not afford it.
Both sides watched from across the bank all day, and no one dared to act rashly.
Nearly ten days passed. Although both parties were in peace, this day was a turning point for the Song Dynasty.
In order to further humiliate the Jin army, in the morning, Li Qi, Zhong Shidao, an old man and a young man carried fishing rods and fishing baskets and ran to the river bank to go fishing.
Of course, this idea must have been brought up by Li Qi. Who else but him would dare to go fishing on the "Chu River and Han Boundary" between the two armies at this time!
Arrogant!
How arrogant!
Since the floods had just receded and there were plenty of fish and shrimp in the river, the two of them harvested a lot, but Li Qi's fishing skills were still a bit inferior to those of a fisherman.
Master Zhong stroked his beard and laughed, "I wonder if I will have the opportunity to try the cooking skills of the Golden Knife Chef King today."
Li Qi chuckled: "Definitely, definitely, my hands are itching a lot. Later, we can ask the fleet to cast a few large nets and get some crabs and shrimps. It will be even more perfect."
Zhong Shidao rolled his eyes and said: "You are really brave, the enemy is on the other side. It is unreasonable for us to come here to fish, but you actually want to use a warship to fish and catch shrimps. It is really unreasonable."
"
Li Qi said aggrievedly: "The opponent is not attacking, and the boat is just left here. Why not catch fish and shrimps or something to replenish the army's rations? It's boring to eat canned food all the time."
After hearing this, Master Dao said: "What you said makes sense. There are a lot of fish and shrimps in the Sangqian River this spring. It would be a good idea for us to send a few ships to catch fish and shrimps."
"It's no good that the breeders can think like this. Even if there is no fleet, they don't dare to attack!" Li Qi said hoarsely.
Zhong Shidao shook his head helplessly and said: "I have stayed with you for a long time, but it still won't work. In a few days, I'm afraid you will have to drag me into the river to take a bath."
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "This stud can rest assured, I will never do such a stupid thing. The flood has just receded and the water is not clear yet. It is too unhygienic to bathe in the river now, and it is not very hot today.
It’s better to boil water and take a bath.”
Zhong Shidao laughed, and suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Bu Shuai, Bu Shuai."
The two turned around and saw Yang Zaixing galloping over on horseback, looking very anxious.
Is there any movement from the Jin Army? Li Qi hurriedly stood up, and when Yang Zaixing came to him, he quickly asked: "Where is the Jin Army attacking?"
Yang Zaixing shook his head and said, "No. However, General Niu is here."
"General Niu?" Li Qi's brain was a little short-circuited and he said, "Which General Niu?"
Yang Zaixing was stunned for a moment and said, "It's Niu Gao!"
"Niugao?"
Li Qi exclaimed and thought to himself, could it be that Zhao Kai succeeded? He hurriedly asked: "Where is Niu Gao now?"
Yang Zaixing said: "We are almost there, General Yue has sent someone to pick him up."
Without saying a word, Li Qi hurriedly mounted his horse and galloped towards the base camp.
Yang Zaixing originally wanted to go, but suddenly he saw Zhong Shidao still standing here and said, "Old General, aren't you going?"
Zhong Shidao shook his head and said, "You go ahead. I'll sit down for a while."
Yang Zaixing said oh, followed Li Qi on horseback and left.
Zhong Shidao looked at the river and let out a long sigh. On the one hand, he hoped that Zhao Kai could ascend the throne, but on the other hand, he thought about Song Huizong's kindness to him. He had mixed feelings in his heart. Therefore, he was not in the mood to enjoy this in the camp.
Everything, because if he saw the joyful smiles on Li Qi's faces, he would feel guilty.
……．
"Oops, it's so hard to find this place. I got lost. Fortunately, Yue Fei sent someone to pick me up. Oh, Yue Fei, Yue Fan, wahaha, brothers, I'm here."
"Niugao (General Niu)."
As soon as Li Qi entered the military camp, he heard Niu Gao's rough voice and walked over quickly. He saw Niu Gao wearing a red forbidden army uniform, riding a tall horse and leading a group of younger brothers, walking in beaming with joy.
As soon as this guy saw Yue Fei, he jumped off his horse, opened his hands, and ran over laughing.
"Oh, Bu Shuai, I miss you so much."
After Niu Gao, Yue Fei and others hugged each other one by one, they happened to see Li Qi and Yang Zaixing coming out from behind, and hurried over again.
"Don't!"
Li Qi blocked the front with one hand and said, "I don't like to have close contact with men."
Niu Gao grinned, imitating Li Qi's tone, and said "Sao Lei" twice, then performed another military salute and said: "The last general Niu Gao meets Bu Shuai."
Why does Li Qi care about this now? He waved his hand and said, "Don't tell me such nonsense. You just brought someone here, right?"
Niu Gao was stunned and said: "I brought ten thousand people here!"
Li Qi wanted to slap this guy to death and said: "Hey, I said you did it on purpose. How is it in the capital? Whose order did you come here on? Also, didn't you bring anything?
What?"
Niu Gao suddenly realized and said quickly: "Yes, yes, I came here under the emperor's order to declare the decree, and I almost delayed the important event. Bu Shuai, don't blame me. This is the first time I have been ordered to declare the decree. I am so happy."
I forgot, I really didn’t mean it, I---"
My sister! Why does this guy talk so much nonsense? Li Qi's eyes were on fire, he stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Imperial decree."
Seeing that Li Qi was about to go crazy, Niu Gao quickly shut up and hurriedly pulled out an imperial edict from his arms.
Li Qi didn't wait for him to read it, so he grabbed it and opened it. He saw that the first line said that Song Huizong abdicated and passed to Zhao Kai. His hanging heart finally dropped.
