Li Qi, who was hiding on the city wall, looked at the lights of the White Tiger Bridge in the distance and couldn't help laughing.
Yue Fei stood at the end of the bridge and shouted: "Is that General Niu on the other side?"
A rough voice suddenly sounded from the opposite side, "Yue---General Yue?"
The two came to meet on the bridge. It was really a big-eyed look. If they were a couple, it would make sense. How romantic it would be to have a tryst on the bridge in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, they are two grown men now, so there is no sense of romance.
Yes, there is a strong sense of homosexuality.
"How did you come?"
They both asked at the same time.
The two were stunned again, and then said in unison: "I'm here to rescue you!"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them turned pale, and once again said in tacit understanding: "We have fallen into a trap."
The deputy general next to Yue Fei also reacted and said urgently: "Two generals, let's go back for rescue quickly." At this point, he suddenly froze himself and said: "I don't know which way the other party is going.
attack"
"If I'm not wrong, Black should be attacking from both sides at the same time." Yue Fei shook his head and said to Niu Gao: "How many troops did you bring?"
"Twenty thousand. What about you?"
"Me too." Yue Fei sighed and said: "If it were a real war, and the soldiers at the front fought hard, it might still be too late, but this is an exercise after all. In this half hour, the opponent's strength has been several times that of ours.
And their tactics were successful. According to the rules, we have lost."
Niu Gao slapped his thigh in annoyance and said angrily: "The breeder's move is too unkind. He actually sent fake sentries to deceive us. We are all forbidden troops, and the training methods are the same. We all know the basics, so casually
Get a military uniform and you can pass it off as real. If it was a real war, how could we be fooled? How could the fake sentry sneak in?"
Obviously, someone on Niugao's side also reported that the black army was heading west. These two sentinels were arranged by Zhong Shidao. His purpose was to cut off the connection between the west and north through the Jinshui River.
While dividing the troops into two groups, they also used false information to confuse the other side. Then, using a time lag, they suddenly sent out troops to break through the opponent's weak defense line while the other side was rotating.
Yue Fei shook his head and said seriously: "Commander Bu has already stated that any move can be used. This is because we are inexperienced in defending the city. The opponent suddenly attacked, so we panicked and gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of us. If we really want to blame
.It’s just that there are so few military bridges on the Jinshui River. We have to take a detour when going from the west to the north. It’s really unreasonable. If not, the other side would dare to do this. If the enemy really invades, this river
It will definitely cause us a lot of trouble."
The more he talked, the angrier he became. This kind of defeat was too frustrating, and it was entirely his own fault, because there was no defensive equipment on the Jinshui River. Not only was there no defensive equipment, but it was as if the door was open to the enemy, and any ship
The team can break in at will, and the defense of the river cannot be built in a day or two. They have done their best, but how can they defend the entire river with just people.
Niu Gao added: "This is all because the palace commander is too conservative. If we have an army outside, we go back to defend now, and maybe we can turn defeat into victory."
Yue Fei sighed: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk about it."
At this moment, a group of troops came and said loudly: "Two generals, Black has captured the west and north defenses. The exercise is over. The Bu Commander ordered the two generals to return to the camp immediately."
Yue Fei and Niu Gao looked at each other, then got on their horses dejectedly and headed for the base camp.
...
In the largest tent in the middle of the camp, Li Qi, Zhong Shidao, He Guan and others were all there, but their expressions were completely different.
When Yue Fei arrived, Niu Gaogang came in, clasped his fists and said, "The last general will see Bu Shuai."
Li Qi laughed and said: "Two generals, is the scenery of Baihu Bridge beautiful?"
These words are really hurtful.
Yue Fan, He Chong and other Black generals lowered their heads and started laughing, while White looked dissatisfied.
Yue Fei and Niu Gao lowered their heads and made some noise.
Li Qi raised two fingers and said: "Two people, just because two people told the same lie, you became disorganized. What can you let me say?"
He Guan was dissatisfied and said: "Commander Bu, you can't say anything. If this is a real war, how can these two sentinels hide the truth?"
Zhong Shidao nodded and said: "The palace commander is right, I am indeed trying to be a trick."
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "The stallion is too modest. The rule on the battlefield is that the winner takes it all. There is no reason to say it. Exercises are actual combat, and actual combat is exercise. If Black can seize this loophole, that is his skill, because
This loophole also exists for you, White, and this can only be blamed on your lack of preparation."
Yue Fei and Niu Gao said in unison: "Bu Shuai's lesson is that in the end, the loser will be convinced."
After He Guan heard this, the boss was displeased, but he couldn't say anything. Firstly, Li Qi represented Gao Qiu, and secondly, the other party was Zhongshi Dao, who was much stronger than him. But he didn't like Zhongshi Dao.
dissatisfied with this approach.
Zhong Shidao glanced at He Guan and chuckled: "Actually, I only won the victory under the rules. If this was a real war, we would not be able to break through White's defense line so quickly. Yue Fei, Niu
Gao and the others still have a chance to come back for rescue, but the outcome is still uncertain. Moreover, according to my observations in the past few days, White's defense is also remarkable, and it did not give us the slightest chance."
"Ha ha!"
A burst of hearty laughter suddenly sounded outside the tent, saying: "Why should General Zhong be so modest!"
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly stood up and stepped forward.
I saw a group of people walking in from outside the tent. It was Song Huizong, accompanied by Tong Guan and Gao Qiu.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor, long live, long live."
When Li Qi saw Gao Qiu, he cursed in his heart, "Okay, you won't come if I ask you to come. I'd rather go and accompany the emperor. If it were me, I would make the same choice."
Song Huizong hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhongshi Dao and said: "Old general, please excuse yourself from the ceremony." In fact, he had always respected Zhongshi Dao very much. He was the one who wanted to promote Zhongshi Dao at the beginning, but it was a pity that he wanted to promote Zhongshi Dao.
Later, it turned out to be self-defeating. Zhong Shidao was squeezed out by Tong Guan, Wang Fu and others, and eventually ended up becoming an official. But even so, he was not convicted of Zhong Shidao, and was given a false position.
Master Zhong was flattered and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Song Huizong chuckled and said: "The old general used his troops like a god, and I enjoyed watching it."
"Your Majesty has given you a great reward, and I am worthy of it."
Song Huizong smiled and shook his head, and then said to Li Qi and others: "You can also forgive me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone was sitting down again.
Li Qi asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Song Huizong glared at him angrily and said: "Who in the world is more worried about the defense of the capital? I have been paying close attention to this exercise these days."
Just kidding. How can he not pay attention to the drill in the capital? If you don't have absolute certainty, how can you approve it? But he also wants to see how the defense of the capital is, so he has been secretly monitoring it.
This---there are a lot of people there! Li Qi said something different: "That is, that is."
Song Huizong smiled and said: "However, Sanya's military exercise is indeed of great significance. I fully agree with this." After saying that, he glanced at the soldiers and said: "Don't think that I am living in the palace.
, I just don’t know anything. I have heard more than one person say in the past few years how incompetent the imperial guards in the capital are."
Damn it! You are here to gain military morale! After hearing Song Huizong's opening remarks, Li Qi immediately understood the purpose of his visit. Although the Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs, the emperor of the Song Dynasty had very good control over the army.
, no one wants to take away even a trace of power from them.
"Wei Chen is guilty."
The three yamen and the generals, including Gao Qiu, immediately bowed their heads.
Song Huizong raised his hand and said: "Hey, dear friends, what are you guilty of? I believe that after today, no one will say that again." After a pause, he said to Master Zhong again: "Old General, hurry up
Tell me what happened just now and why you broke through White's defense line so easily."
The white soldiers all looked ashamed when they heard this. If they knew that the emperor was also watching the battle, they would probably have a different attitude.
Zhong Shidao sang, and then told Song Huizong the whole story in detail. Of course, he did not ask for credit, but used cleverness to describe the victory, and instead praised Bai Fang.
Song Huizong nodded frequently after hearing this, and praised Zhongshi Dao again. Then he said with worry on his face: "So, the defense of our capital is not impenetrable."
What does it have to do with you whether you are fast or not? You will choose to escape anyway. Li Qi secretly despised it and said: "Your Majesty, this is an exercise after all. There are many rules, but it is still somewhat different from a real war. Otherwise, what will happen to Black?
It is possible to capture the outer defense line so easily, but even so, it is only the outermost line of defense. There are two or three layers of defense lines inside. Moreover, winning or losing this exercise is not important. The main purpose is to train the Forbidden Army to be able to deal with the enemy.
White did a very good job in making the timely and most correct response."
Tong Guan nodded and said: "The economic envoy is right. This is just a drill and cannot be taken seriously." There was a hint of disdain in his voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly whispered: "Actually - in fact, there are still many loopholes in the defense inside and outside the capital."
Li Qi turned around and shouted in a deep voice: "Yue Fei, do you have the right to speak here?"
Song Huizong was slightly startled, pointed at Li Qi, motioned him to be silent, and then said: "Are you Yue Fei?" Although Yue Fei has made many contributions, they are not big enough for the emperor to meet him in person, and,
His credit was "robbed" by Li Qi and Cai You.
It was the first time for Yue Fei to see the emperor, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He saluted and said, "Yue Fei made a mistake, please forgive me for this."
Song Huizong looked at Yue Fei carefully, nodded with a smile and said: "He is indeed a tiger general. You just said that there are still many loopholes in the capital's defense, why don't you continue?"
"I---." Yue Fei glanced at Li Qi, looking very embarrassed.
Song Huizong said: "You can just say it, as long as I am here, no one will dare to embarrass you." As he said this, he glanced at Li Qi again.
Look what I did, I was just afraid that if he said it, you would embarrass him. Li Qi bowed his head honestly.
Seeing this, Yue Fei had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Yue Fei obeys the order." After a pause, he continued: "As far as the Jinshui River is concerned, the Jinshui River can go directly to the palace and should be the focus of defense, but the defense on the Jinshui River is It is very weak. There are very few military bridges inside and outside the city, and the remaining bridges are very high. Any ship can pass by, and can even go directly to the palace. There are almost no blocking measures in the middle. This is the defense of Jinshui Gate. A hidden danger, not only that, there are few military bridges in the city, which is also a test for quick defense changes. If not, General Zhong’s strategy will not succeed. Moreover, most of the defense equipment outside the city is in disrepair and dilapidated, which is very difficult for us. The military defense is extremely disadvantageous."
As soon as these words came out, everyone had different expressions.
It's over, it's over, these words offended everyone. Li Qi covered his face and shook his head secretly.
When Huizong of the Song Dynasty transported granite, almost all of it was transported by boat. Since the Jinshui River can reach Danei directly, it has become the main channel. It is completely conceivable how big the boat transporting granite must be. In this way, Not only should all those defense facilities be abolished, but if we want to judge the crime, we can only blame Song Huizong, Cai Jing and others. The defense outside the city is the responsibility of the three yamen, and Gao Qiu is the leader. Aren't you just saying that Gao Qiu neglected his duties?
In fact, Zhong Shidao had known this for a long time, so he wanted to use this exercise to tell the court that the Jinshui River was a huge loophole. If it was not repaired in time, it would become a big problem in the future. But you can't tell the emperor this. Isn't it a slap in the emperor's face? In fact, Li Qi had already thought about it and secretly thought of ways to build defensive measures. Anyway, there has been very little granite shipped from Jiangnan recently.
Song Huizong was speechless when he heard this, and suddenly turned to Master Zhong and said, "Old General, is this really the case?"
Zhong Shidao nodded and said: "Report to the Emperor, Yue Fei is right."
Tong Guan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, our Song Dynasty has millions of soldiers. Who in the world can see the capital? This little general is just making a fuss out of a molehill."
With millions of soldiers, I really don’t know how you died. Li Qi opened his eyes and lied: "What the Prince of Guangyang said is that if we can see the Yellow River, let alone the capital, we will lose."
Song Huizong didn't know that they were trying to excuse himself. He coughed lightly and said, "If that's the case, then what is the purpose of your exercise?"
Li Qi glanced at Tong Guan, who also happened to look at him, and cursed secretly, "What the hell are you looking at me for? I just followed your flattery and continued to flatter you, only to be scolded instead. It's really my own fault."
If this needle doesn't touch the flesh, it certainly won't hurt. How could Song Huizong have thought of this in the first place? Cai Jing and others would never tell him. Tonight, he saw that Zhong Shidao's fleet was almost effortless, with the help of the north wind. He arrived at the Jinshui Gate in an instant. Looking back now, there was cold sweat on his back. If this was really an enemy attack, what would he do? Once he broke through the Jinshui Gate, he could directly break into the palace. You must know that he originally wanted to let Hua The granite was successfully transported into the palace and the high walls of the palace were demolished. Now he was scared to death and said in a deep voice: "Since the loopholes have been found, they should be repaired as soon as possible. Taiwei."
Gao Qiu was also sweating profusely, and he bowed and said, "Wei Chen is here."
Song Huizong said: "The defense outside the city is your three yamen's responsibility."
Can you blame me for this? But you have to do this. Gao Qiu muttered in his heart, but said: "Wei Chen is guilty, please punish me."
Song Huizong didn't have the nerve to punish him. The source of the mistake was himself. He blushed and said: "Now is not the time to judge the guilt. The task of your three yamen next year is to improve the defenses inside and outside the capital as soon as possible. I don't want something like today to happen again." It’s too late for this situation.”
How many times have you torn it apart and patched it up? Gao Qiu sighed secretly and said: "I obey my orders." But his eyes glanced at Li Qi, as if to say, you are responsible for all this, and now you have to shoulder it, too much There is no justice anymore.
Damn! You are the boss, if something happens, of course you will take the responsibility. Besides, you can’t blame me. If you want to blame, blame Yue Fei. However, if Yue Fei doesn’t speak out, who dares to build a bridge on the Jinshui River? Li Qi Zi pretended not to see it, lowered his head, and put on a repentant posture.
