If Li Qi was familiar with the history of Jiaozhi, he might not be surprised by this, because according to historical records, Li Qiande, the longest reigning emperor of Jiaozhi, died of illness in 1127.
Having said that, if Li Qi had known about this beforehand, he probably could have done a lot.
When the two armies were fighting, it was a taboo for military strategists to change commanders before the battle, not to mention that the emperor died with a bang at this juncture. This was simply a spiritual atomic bomb, but it was not the enemy that exploded, but one of his own.
Li Qi really laughed. He didn't know what words to use to describe his luck.
Although it was just a guess, Li Qi couldn't control it anymore and secretly sent people to Shenglong Mansion to spread the news. If Li Qiande hadn't died, Li Qi would have forced him out.
...
Inside the big tent.
Yue Fei had just returned from inspecting the river bank and said to Li Qi: "Privy Envoy, all the bridges around here have been destroyed by the enemy, and the enemy troops are guarding the river bank. Without General Han's fleet, it will be difficult for us to cross the Furiang River."
When it came to Han Shizhong, Li Qi was a little puzzled and said: "By the way, why hasn't General Han come yet?"
Yue Fei said: "I have already asked people to inquire about it."
Li Qi asked again: "How much food do we have left?"
Yue Fei said: "It can still last for four or five days."
"Report---! Report to the Privy Envoy that General Han has sent a letter."
If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here! Li Qi hurriedly said: "Bring it quickly."
"yes."
Li Qi took the letter and immediately opened it and read it. He frowned at first, then gradually relaxed, and hehe said: "Okay! General Han will give me a generous gift when he comes here!"
Yue Fei was very curious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Why did the Privy Council say this?"
Li Qi handed the letter over and said, "Read it yourself."
Yue Fei came over to take a look, nodded frequently and said: "General Han is really awesome. I almost overlooked this."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Yue Fei, let Yang Zaixing lead 10,000 soldiers to carry the grain."
"As commanded."
.......
There is a port fifty miles east of Li Qi's tent called Dongri Port. At this time, Dongri Port is full of ships, with more than 300 large and small ships. Compared with those in Jiaozhi, Warships, these ships can really be called aircraft carriers.
This is exactly Han Shizhong's fleet. You must know that the real aircraft carrier of the Song Dynasty has not yet arrived, and these are just some medium-sized warships.
I saw many boatmen getting off the boat and starting to carry bags of food from the boat. The shore was densely packed. There were at least ten or two thousand people.
In the cabin, Han Shizhong and his wife Liang Hongyu sat across from each other, with black and white in between.
After Liang Hongyu dropped a white stone, she said: "Husband, that general sent by the Privy Council just now is so tall!"
Han Shizhong looked at the chessboard and said: "That person is Yang Zaixing. The Privy Council also gave him a nickname, calling him a murderer. But when that kid starts a fight, he is really desperate for his life."
After saying this, a sunspot fell.
"It turns out he is Yang Zaixing."
Liang Hongyu smiled, nodded a few times, and asked again: "Husband, are you really sure that the Jiaozhi Army will come here to attack us?"
Han Shizhong smiled lightly and said: "It will definitely come. If it were me, I would also send people to attack here. The temptation is too great."
Liang Hongyu said: "Then when do you think they will come?"
Han Shizhong shook his head and said: "I can't guess this, but it's only for a day or two. It's impossible to wait until all the food is unloaded before coming back."
Liang Hongyu glanced at her husband and saw that his eyes were fixed on the chessboard while he was talking. She suddenly said: "Husband, do you have something on your mind?"
Han Shizhong was stunned, raised his head and said, "Why do you say that?"
Liang Hongyu said: "In the past, whenever there was a war, my husband always seemed very excited, but this time, my husband, you seem to be a little depressed. Even though you have expected that the other party will come to attack you, you don't seem to care too much."
Han Shizhong laughed bitterly when he heard this and said, "It seems that I can't hide anything from you." Then he sighed softly again and said, "It's just a joint, how can I raise my interest in being a husband."
Liang Hongyu smiled and shook her head.
Han Shizhong said: "Why are you shaking your head?"
Liang Hongyu said: "My husband is not interested because Jiaozhi is weak, but because of the arrangement of the Privy Councilor."
"Appreciate further details."
"There is almost no obstacle to our coming this time, and no one is our opponent on this river. However, these hundreds of thousands of stones of grain are very important. If I am not wrong, my husband is not willing to pledge the grain in front of us.
official."
Han Shizhong hesitated for a while, nodded and said: "You are right. If there is no battle to fight, it means peace in the world. I also hope to see this, but this is obviously the time of struggle for supremacy, so it is natural for a husband to do so.
Wanting to show off his skills, but not as a husband, Wu Jie was very successful in Dali, and the title of victorious general has been spread to our ears. It can be seen that Yue Fei and Niu Gao were also in Jiaozhi.
With successive battles and victories, his reputation in the army increased day by day.
But I have nothing to do. The only thing I can mention now is that I delivered the food and grass. Alas, if I had known this, I would have stayed in the Forbidden Army instead of Fuzhou. If I had been transferred to Dali or Jiaozhi,
I am also capable of winning great battles, but now I have almost forgotten that I am still a military commander."
Liang Hongyu chuckled and said, "It turns out that my husband is jealous of Yue Fei and the others!"
Han Shizhong sighed: "They are all younger than me and entered the court later than me, but their contributions are far better than mine. If I am really not as strong as them, then I will admit it, but this is not the case. This talk
It’s not that I’m jealous, I just feel a little useless.”
Liang Hongyu let out a long sigh and said: "I understand, it turns out that your husband also covets the King of Zhennan!"
Han Shizhong seemed to have been impressed by his wife's suggestion. His old face turned red, but he did not deny it, "Who wouldn't want the King of Zhennan?"
Liang Hongyu shook her head and said: "Husband, this is a blessing in disguise. In fact, I thought it was okay for the King of Zhennan not to want him."
Han Shizhong asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
Liang Hongyu said: "Since the founding of our dynasty, few military generals have been crowned kings during their lifetime. Even Duke Di is no exception. Although the status of military generals has improved a lot after the emperor came to the throne, as an emperor, he will definitely prevent this.
One thing is true. Except for the privy envoy, all the generals in this southern expedition are military generals. The privy envoy has already crowned Yanyun King. For him, the Zhennan King is not worth mentioning. Then the rest are the generals below, among whom Yue Fei
, Wu Jie is the most hopeful to get this honor, but no matter who gets it, it may not be a good thing. I guess whoever gets the Zhennan King may be transferred out of the south soon."
Han Shizhong exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
Liang Hongyu said: "The imperial court's southern expedition is intended to regain Jiaozhi and Dali. One of the most important purposes is for the imperial court to control this place. Wu Jie and Yue Fei are already famous in the south. If they are allowed to station in the south again,
Then their power in the south can make all the difference, and who can guarantee that they will not have different intentions. Once this military commander is suspected, he will be in bad luck. The emperor originally threw out this temptation in order to encourage the soldiers to be brave.
Kill the enemy. But no one knows what the emperor will think when the dust settles.
But the Privy Council must understand this. So in order to save the lives of these generals, the Privy Council will definitely transfer King Zhennan away from here, so the King of Zhennan is just a false title, and once he is canonized as King of Zhennan, then in the future
It is difficult to be promoted again. To become a commander, a general must enter the Privy Council. My husband should value the career of the Privy Council instead of coveting the false reputation."
Han Shizhong became thoughtful after hearing this. After a while, he suddenly nodded and said: "You are right. This Zhennan King is really a hot potato. Can you guess who will end up with this Zhennan King?"
Liang Hongyu shook her head and said: "I can't imagine what the Privy Council would do. As for the Privy Council, I don't think he would want his generals to covet this vanity. But Jun Wuxi said that if Wu Jie and Yue Fei wanted to
If you want, then the Privy Councilor can only choose one of the two, but if Wu Jie and Yue Fei are smarter, they will not be greedy for this honor. If they take the initiative to refuse, then the Privy Councilor can choose someone else."
"Ma'am, you see more carefully."
Han Shizhong smiled and stroked his beard, but then sighed: "But it is not easy to become a Privy Council member. It is possible for Yue Fei and Wu Jie. As for me, I really don't know how long it will take to get there."
Liang Hongyu said: "Husband, please don't be discouraged. If you look at it from the other side, husband, you are the one who hopes the most."
"Where did you start talking about this?" Han Shizhong said in surprise.
Liang Hongyu said: "Our Song Dynasty is now full of talents. In the north there are Zongze, Zhang Shuye, Zhong Shizhong and other veteran generals, in the west there is Zhefu, and in the Forbidden Army there are generals such as Yue Fei, Niu Gao, and Wu Jie. Although they can all conquer
People who are good at fighting are only on land, so the opportunities for meritorious service are undoubtedly scattered. But as for my husband, you have the most powerful navy in the Song Dynasty, and it is unique. Once the navy is needed, everyone, including the emperor, will
They will all think of you, husband. You, husband, are the best choice. Compared to Yue Fei and the others, you, husband, are more memorable.
In recent years, the Privy Council has been advocating the importance of a navy, which shows that the navy will play a huge role in the future. My husband, you are the prefect of Fuzhou. You not only control the navy, but also supervise the largest shipyard, government, and military in the Song Dynasty.
, taking into account the three aspects of finance and civil and military affairs at the same time, this coincides with the nature of the Privy Council.
Moreover, if you want to enter the Privy Council, you must be promoted by the Privy Councilor, and the Privy Councilor respects those who are capable. At first, husband, you and Yue Fei were just unknown soldiers, but the Privy Councilor promoted you out of the ordinary.
, This shows that, husband, as long as you do your job well and complete the tasks assigned to you by the Privy Council envoy, in the future, among these generals, you are the most likely to be admitted to the Privy Council, so husband, you don’t have to worry about this, and you can complete your current mission.
The mission is the most important thing.”
Han Shizhong laughed, and the gloom in his heart was swept away, and said: "My husband was born in the market, and he has been infected with many bad habits, which are really difficult to get rid of. Fortunately, Hongyu, you are always by your side to remind me that I can marry you. It’s truly a gift from God.”
Liang Hongyu shook her head and smiled and said: "If you and I are still talking about these things, we are really out of touch. By the way, husband, can you have some strategies to defend yourself against the enemy?"
Han Shizhong smiled and said: "When it comes to warships, Jiaozhi children are no match. When it comes to naval forces, we are even better. If they want to succeed in a sneak attack on the water and destroy these rations, then there is only one way."
Liang Hongyu thought for a moment and said: "Fire attack."
Han Shizhong chuckled and said: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms mentioned how Zhou Yu burned Red Cliff with great enthusiasm, but not everyone can play with fire. If you don't succeed, you have to play with fire**." (To be continued, please search. Piaotian Literature, novels are better and updated faster!
