The first thousand five hundred and sixty-two chapters go to the meeting alone
In the initial strategy of the Jin Kingdom, it was to win over Xixia and attack the Song Dynasty together. However, now that Xixia is not only independent, but also very close to the Song Dynasty, this makes Wanyan Zongwang very worried. Therefore, he probably prefers to destroy Xixia first and then attack the Song Dynasty.
The Central Plains, in addition, those tribes in the west, small countries are weak, he is 100% sure, he needs to use victory and wealth to silence the mouths of the elders in the country.
But having said that, without this second plan, the Jin Kingdom would not have sent troops so quickly. After all, the Song Dynasty is now much stronger than a few years ago, and the Jin Kingdom is also undergoing reform and development. Although Wanyan Sheng
He left the decision-making power to Wanyan Zongwang and the other three, but before leaving, he repeatedly warned that he must be absolutely sure before starting the war.
It was precisely because of the existence of this second plan that Li Qi was caught off guard. He really did not expect that Jin Guo would plan to go south so quickly.
Fortunately, Zhongshi Dao had the foresight to remind Li Qi and Zhao Kai that the Jin Kingdom would definitely be very worried if we were developing so rapidly now, and their only method was to use force to suppress the Song Dynasty. They must be on guard against this hungry wolf.
, Li Qi and Zhao Kai also listened. Not only did they not immediately carry out military reform in the Yanyun area, but they also transported a lot of mines there to prevent the Jin Kingdom from raiding.
This is why, although the Song Dynasty did not expect it, there were plenty of men, horses and weapons.
The big tent of the Song Army.
"Informing the Privy Envoy, the second prince of the Kingdom of Jin is here."
Li Qi, who was discussing countermeasures with Zhao Jingyan, couldn't help but stand up after hearing the guard's announcement, and said with great joy: "Seriously?"
"It's absolutely true, the second prince of Jin Kingdom is crossing the river by boat."
"Ha ha---!"
Li Qi laughed happily.
Zhao Jingyan walked over and reminded: "Don't get carried away, this may be his trick to confuse you."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. Let's go see my old friend."
...
Li Qi and Zhao Jingyan rode horses to the bank of Sangqian River. They saw Wanyan Zongwang getting off the boat from a distance, and he only brought four guards with him.
Zhao Jingyan nodded appreciatively and said: "As expected of the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, he dares to go to a meeting alone at a time like this."
What do you mean, she praises other men in front of her own man, and she is also an enemy. This woman is also true. Li Qi snorted: "Going to the meeting alone? Huh, compared to Guan Gong, he is far behind."
Zhao Jingyan asked in astonishment: "How do you say this?"
Li Qi said loudly: "Guan Gong only brought one person. But he brought four people. Isn't this a big difference?"
As he said that, he went up to him, leaving Zhao Jingyan alone in a daze. After a while, Zhao Jingyan came to her senses and shook her head with a wry smile.
"The second prince of the Jin Kingdom, sometimes he fails to welcome you from afar, and sometimes he fails to welcome you from afar."
As soon as Li Qi came up, his face changed drastically. He seemed to be greeting an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
When Wanyan Zongwang heard this voice, he felt inexplicably angry in his heart, but he did not slow down his steps and looked around for a moment. He laughed and said: "King Jin Dao Chef, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look like you haven't changed at all."
Is it true that Li Qi has not changed at all from a few years ago? Of course it is impossible. Wanyan Zongwang is referring to Li Qi's smiling face. This is also something Wanyan Zongwang admires very much about Li Qi, because no matter who Li Qi faces.
Whether he is an enemy or a friend, he can keep a smile on his face without any difference, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.
When he was looking at Li Qi, Li Qi was also looking at him, but Wanyan Zongwang had changed a lot. Although he was still as tall and tall, his temples were white and there were many more wrinkles on his face. He was secretly happy that this
The advantage of age finally came into play, and he said without conscience: "The second prince is even better than before."
Wanyan Zongwang was also very self-aware. He waved his hand and said: "It's not better than before. A few years ago, a serious illness almost killed me."
Is it true or false? If you don't die soon, you would have already burped in history. Li Qi said: "Is it true?"
Wanyan Zongwang looked half-smiling and said, "Do you really want me to die?"
"No, no, the second prince is joking. I often tell our emperor that the second prince is here and the Song-Jin alliance is here. The second prince is an upright man. He keeps his promise and keeps his word. All the horses in the Jin Kingdom play relay races.
If you can't catch up, how could you betray your trust and do things like giving birth to a son without an asshole? I don't know what other people think, but I have full confidence in the second prince's character."
When talking, Li Qi talked endlessly, danced and foamed at the mouth.
Zhao Jingyan on the side almost didn't laugh out loud when she heard this. In terms of the skill of cursing people, it can be said with certainty that in the world, Li Qi is ranked second, but no one dares to be ranked first.
This was not the first time that Wanyan Zongwang had seen Li Qi's ability. There was no trace of anger on his face, and he said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. Recently, I have often heard you businessmen from the Song Dynasty say that the interests of the country are paramount, and you also said this
It comes from the mouth of the Golden Knife Chef King, I wonder if this is true?"
Li Qi's face stiffened and he said, "Maybe so. I don't know if the ancients said this."
Wanyan Zongwang asked with a smile: "I wonder if the Golden Knife Chef King thinks it is integrity or the country's interests that are more important?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Personally, of course integrity is important, but from an overall perspective, national interests are definitely important."
Wanyan Zongwang chuckled and said: "So the Golden Knife Chef King should not have too high expectations for my character. We all have the interests of the country on our heads."
These words are thought-provoking.
What on earth do you mean?
Li Qi's heart began to beat up and down again.
Zhao Jingyan also looked sideways at Wanyan Zongwang, seeming to be thinking about something.
Little did they know that when Wanyan Zongwang came, he planned to signal that the alarm was lifted as soon as they met. However, when they met, Li Qi turned around and scolded him for giving birth to a son without an asshole. He simply didn't bother to say anything and acted ambiguous.
, deliberately scaring Li Qi.
Did he deliberately test me? No matter what, I must not show any fear. Li Qi chuckled: "The second prince is too modest, but no matter what, I, Li Qi, always agree that the interests of the country come first. For the sake of the country, even if it is betrayal,
, there is nothing to criticize, and others are even more blameless.”
Good boy.
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and nodded. "I thought so too."
Li Qi added: "Anyway, if you can come, Second Prince, it really gives me a lot of face, Li Qi. I'm very grateful."
"Actually, even if you don't invite me, I plan to invite you, but you're just one step ahead of me."
You dare to come, but I dare not go. If you really kill me, who will I cry to? My life is much more valuable than yours, because I am the only time traveler in the world. Li Qi smiled.
He said: "Today we invite the Second Prince to come here. First of all, of course, we want to reminisce about old times, and secondly---."
Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed and said: "To be honest, I came to Yanyun this time to arrange military exercises on the emperor's order, but I don't know how to fight. Isn't this just trying to catch a duck?
.But I have long heard that since the Second Prince and Jin Taizu started an army, they have gone through hundreds of battles, conquered every attack, and been invincible. They have killed countless heroes, so I wanted to ask the Second Prince for advice, and I hope that the Second Prince can give you some advice."
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Don't ever say that you are invincible in all attacks and invincible in battles. My father is doing my best to do this, but I am far from it. Speaking of which, the biggest defeat in my life is due to you.
It’s a gift, and I still haven’t figured out where I failed, so I still want to ask you for advice.”
Li Qi chuckled: "I can answer this for the second prince."
"Please say."
Li Qi said with a smile: "In the eyes of the second prince, I have always been a cook, that's why."
Wanyan Zongwang was stunned and suddenly said: "You don't know, if anyone dares to say that to you in the Kingdom of Jin now, I will never forgive him."
"The second prince is indeed very loyal." Li Qi gave a thumbs up.
"It's not my loyalty. If you just say this, wouldn't it be an insinuation that I am not even as good as a cook? How can I forgive him?"
After Wanyan Zongwang finished speaking, the two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
After a while, I saw a group of people coming quickly.
Zhao Jingyan said: "They are the old generals."
The person who came was none other than the planting master.
In a moment, Master Zhong came to Li Qi and the others, climbed the mountain and dismounted, raised his hands towards Wanyan Zongwang and said, "The Second Prince is here, I am sorry to hear you come from afar, please forgive me, forgive me."
"It turns out to be Old General Zhong." Wanyan Zongwang gave a Jurchen salute to the Zhong Master and said: "Zong Wang has heard about the reputation of the old General for a long time, and Zong Wang has admired him for a long time. Seeing him today can be regarded as the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish."
These words are not complimentary at all. Among the Zhongshi, the two old generals Zhongshidao are famous in the northwest. Whenever people mention them, they all give a thumbs up. Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan also admire them in their hearts.
Between the two of them, even if the other is an enemy, this may be the so-called hero cherishing the hero.
"How dare you, how dare you, the second prince is praising you ridiculously."
After a few people chatted for a while, Li Qi took Wanyan Zongwang to inspect the military camp. Of course, he would not take Wanyan Zongwang to inspect strategically important places, but only to walk around the military camp.
Wanyan Zongwang did not expect to obtain any military secrets during this trip.
After wandering around for a few times, Zhong Shizhong excused himself because he had to arrange military exercises and was quite busy.
After wandering around for a while, Li Qixiao asked, "What do you think, Second Prince?"
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said: "Not bad, not bad."
Li Qiruo pointed out: "Compared to those girls?"
Wanyan Zongwang was slightly startled, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that after so long, the Golden Knife Chef King would still be worried about what I said that day."
Li Qi whispered: "It's not that I'm worried about it, but that our emperor is worried about it."
"oh?"
Wanyan Zongwang said: "It seems that I am quite valued by your emperor."
Li Qidao: "We take it very seriously."
This is not true at all. The person who influenced Zhao Kai the most was Wanyan Zongwang.
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Well --- I can't say it's good or bad, it's just an affirmation of the second prince's ability. Only mediocrity won't make people jealous."
Wanyan Zongwang smiled softly and said, "But there is a question I would like to ask the Golden Knife Chef King."
"Please say."
"It is said that this military exercise is also the first of its kind in the Golden Knife Kitchen King. However, no matter how you say this military exercise, it is still very different from the real battlefield. What is your purpose of doing this?"
Of course it's you! But you can't say that. Li Qi smiled and said: "The second prince is right. There is a big difference between this military exercise and the real battlefield, but it does not mean that it is useless. To put it simply,
It is to train soldiers’ execution ability.”
"Executive ability?"
"That's right." Li Qi nodded and continued, "I wonder if the second prince has ever heard of conditioned reflexes?"
Wanyan Zongwang shook his head.
That's right. If he has heard of it, then what does it have to do with me? Li Qi explained: "To put it simply, practice makes perfect. When a person repeats an action hundreds of times in a set situation,
After thousands of times, when they actually encounter this situation, they don't need to think and can instinctively make a response. This response is the result of long-term training."
As he spoke, he pointed to the distance with his hand and said: "Second Prince, please look, the troops in front are training. When encountering a surprise attack, they must rush to the front line to set up defenses as soon as possible. In the past, when our Song Army encountered a surprise attack,
, they were all panicked and at a loss. However, after a series of military exercises, their first reaction was to run to the front line. It was just the route and the weapons they wore. This has become a reflex action of the body.
There is no need to think, so you can execute the order immediately. On the battlefield, it is the general who thinks, and the only thing the soldiers have to do is to execute. My requirements for the soldiers are very simple, which is to obey, obey, and obey again."
Is this guy really just a cook? Wanyan Zongwang nodded frequently and said with a faint smile: "A surprise attack? I wonder who the Golden Knife Chef King is preventing from a surprise attack?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said: "Enemies."
"enemy?"
Wanyan Zongwang looked around and said, "The surrounding area has been peaceful in the past few years, where are the enemies?"
Li Qi chuckled: "We have a saying in the Central Plains that we live in sorrow and die in happiness. Our soldiers of the Song Dynasty are doing the same thing every day. There is nothing strange about this. It does not mean that there is no need for training if there are no enemies.
It’s not that there are no enemies now, and there won’t be any in the future. Who knows, the second prince said it’s not true.”
Wanyan Zongwang laughed and said: "That makes sense!" (To be continued...)
