Historically, Du Chong defended Tokyo for a year, which was as long as Zongze. For this reason, even though he built the Yellow River embankment and forced more than half of his troops to rebel, Yue Fei still followed him loyally, and the exiled court also continued
He was promoted to an official position and promoted to nobility.
In a word, failure and incompetence are never sins these days, otherwise the entire court would really be killed. And for frontline officials like Du Chong, failure is never a reason to deal with it. "You can do it, you can do it."
'It's enough to shut up everyone in the center.
And even after Zhao Jiu came here, he successively dealt with Liu Guangshi, Ding Jin, and Fan Qiong. The official reasons given were not defeat or anything like that, but not fighting or avoiding fighting.
What's more, these three people are still warriors, not civil servants with serious backgrounds... Are civil servants and military generals the same thing?
In fact, even for Fan Zhixu, a ridiculous "model" who harmed the country, Zhao Jiu did not dare to directly kill him at the risk of breaking with the civil servants.
Because this killing meant that many of the things he had worked so hard to create at that time would be in vain.
Let's say that with the delivery of Du Chong's letter, the center was first shaken, and then after a discussion in the palace, not everyone thought that it might be Du Chong who was afraid of fighting. In fact, many people could think of this. Even the Zhao Guan family
A very few people, including Du Chong, had never thought of a possibility - Du Chong was so afraid of war that he openly lied to Nanyang!
However, this is just a conjecture. If it is true, then Du Chong and Fan Zhixu will end up sooner or later, because this incident has caused panic across the board in Nanyang, and is likely to further lead to more serious consequences for Han Shizhong, and
As for the bad situation.
But even so, these few people are helpless, because at this time, they are throwing a tantrum... What's more, it was just a guess, and now more than 80% of the people believe Du Chong's report.
There will be no worries in the short term, but soon there will be big problems in the Yanling-Changshe battlefield, which will lead to overall disaster in the long run. This has become the consensus of everyone in Nanyang.
For a time, people in Nanyang were panicked. According to Yang Yizhong's report, bad rumors spread immediately after the discussion in the palace that afternoon... It was said that the defeat of Han Shizhong before and the difficulty of Du Chong today were all caused by those in power.
As a result of a rash advance, if we only stick to each city from the beginning, although there will be necessary losses, it will not put the overall situation in danger.
It goes without saying who the people in power are.
This is in sharp contrast to the outstanding prestige of Zhao Guanjia and Lu Yihao after the almost dreamy artillery battle victory in the previous half month.
"Is that correct?"
In the evening of the day when the news came, Zhao Jiu, who was in a state of anxiety and was sitting in the old woodland full of wooden piles between the harem and the front hall, suddenly received another piece of news that added fuel to the fire.
"It's correct." Yang Yizhong bowed his head in the corridor and looked at it. "The officials can go to the city to see it."
Without saying a word, Zhao Jiu immediately stood up from the wooden stake and followed Yang Yizhong out of the palace towards Beicheng, which was less than three miles away in a straight line. There were countless officials accompanying him along the way, so there was no need to say anything.
When they arrived at the top of the city, everyone could see what was going on under the setting sun. Under the setting sun, thousands of Jurchen cavalry were gathering in public, and then galloped out of the camp in a shocking scene. Continuously.
, heading northeast.
"The Jin people have withdrawn their troops?" Hu Yin, who came with him, was confused.
"No." Liu Ziyu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth in response to the order of the Privy Council. "This is to support Wanyan Talan. At least he deliberately pretends to support Talan."
"What do you mean?" Hu Yin responded warily.
"Nothing else." Liu Ziyu glanced at Hu Yin and replied sternly. "Even if Talan was asking for help, it couldn't have arrived today. The news that arrived today can only be that Deputy Du stayed behind at Yanling and couldn't get out, so I can't say
This is a strategy to lure the enemy."
"How can reinforcements lure the enemy?" Hu Yin was still puzzled.
"It's to lure the soldiers and horses here in Nanyang! Or it's to lure the officials!" Liu Ziyu was furious. "It's not to lure Yanling! If the city really thought that the Jin army had left ten thousand households and had few troops, then they tried to counterattack here, or took the opportunity to send the officials away
If you go to Xiangyang, you will definitely be defeated by this army of thousands of cavalry!"
Hu Yin lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Zhao Guan's house who was expressionless, but couldn't help but continue to ask Liu Ziyu: "Liu Canjun still didn't say, why didn't the Jin people withdraw their troops?"
Liu Ziyu was stunned, but felt a pain in the back of his head, so he simply ignored him.
"What do you think?" At this moment, Zhao Jiu suddenly turned around and looked at Yang Yizhong.
"I think what Liu Canjun said is reasonable." Military affairs are within his own bounds, so Yang Yizhong naturally had no intention of evading, but immediately responded. "In the first month of the year, the weather is getting warmer, and the river ice is gradually melting, but around Nanyang there are
The water network is dense... Among them, large rivers like Baihe, although the surface ice is not covered with ice, are only passable in a few places, which is not enough to pass large groups of armored cavalry. At this time, the Jin army detached a force of ten thousand cavalry and headed northeast.
It can be used as a strategy to lure the enemy, and it can also take the opportunity to deploy troops to the outside of the Baihe River to prevent our army from seizing this opportunity to suddenly cross the river and use the river as a barrier to calmly move southward."
Zhao Jiu nodded slowly... He knew what Yang Yizhong meant. It was not the "infantry" who took advantage of the river to block his way to the south calmly, but him, the official Zhao family.
In fact, with the delivery of Du Chong's letter, the discussion started in the morning and continued until the afternoon. After many civil servants realized that the overall situation was worrying, they once again suggested that Zhao Jiu go south to Xiangyang, just to be safe, and with many people who still insisted on the Nanyang faction
There were fierce debates and confrontations.
Back to the present, even Liu Ziyu and Yang Yizhong only said that this force that suddenly chose to leave the Jin Army camp might be luring the enemy, but they did not deny that the other party might really go to support Wanyan Talan.
It is conceivable that the Nanyang faction and the Xiangyang faction will inevitably continue to conflict because of the two main possibilities of this incident.
At the same time, the authority of Zhao Guanjia and Prime Minister Lu was already declining.
"Official family."
Sure enough, Li Guang, the imperial censor who followed, moved forward instinctively and spoke sincerely. "I don't know about the military matters, but I think that in the long run, it would be better to go to Xiangyang... Once we go to Xiangyang, Nanyang will be strong."
He must capture Xiangyang in order to make the Jin people bewildered."
"How can we abandon Nanyang and leave?" Hu Yin was furious.
"Nanyang city is strong and the artillery is strong, so why give it up?" Li Guang treated his nominal superior with no fear.
"If we go to Nanyang, who will guarantee the safety of the official family?" Liu Ziyu and Hu Yin actually stood on the same position at this time. "Thousands of horses are rushing to attack, who can take it?"
"Let Wang De, who is already in the east of the city, lead his headquarters to escort Zhang Jing. There will be 10,000 elite imperial troops. Then let Xin Qizong (Er Xin) who is stationed in Rang County (the former prefecture of Dengzhou) come to support him.
In this way, there will be 16,700 troops and horses. This military strength, coupled with Wang Yaksha's bravery, and the dense river network along the way, can ensure peace for the officials." The speaker was Fan Zongyin, a member of Zhongshushe.
Guang and Li Ruopu, the two newly found comrades-in-arms, are the backbone of the Xiangyang faction during today's debate in the palace.
"Fan Sheren!" Liu Ziyu was angry at first, but after hearing this, he simply broke the rules. "I am from Dengcheng, Xiangyang! Of course you want the official family to go to Xiangyang, but you really want the official family to stay in Xiangyang and build the capital, right?"
!”
"Am I selfish?!" Fan Zongyin was also furious. "When the weather gets hot and the Jin army withdraws, the officials can return to Luan Nanyang... But you Liu Canjun, the officials will entrust all the matters of the military staff of the Privy Council.
With you, the matter has reached the current situation, what do you have to say? Why did Han Shizhong fall in the ambush? Are there any oversights in Wang Yan, Ma Gao, and Yue Fei?! Moreover, before the war started, the entire army was depleted and waited for nearly a month, and then underestimated the enemy, so that
Zhang Zizheng was killed in a surprise attack. This incident..."
"How's that going?"
"Does this matter have nothing to do with you deliberately ignoring the Wuma Mountain Rebels?" Fan Zongyin, who was only thirty years old, was also driven to panic. "You think we don't know that General Manager Ma Kuoma was imprisoned in the Zhending Mansion because of someone's willfulness.
In prison?"
Liu Ziyu had a splitting headache: "So, I have selfish motives?"
Just as Fan Zongyin was about to speak, suddenly, Zhao Guanjia, who was still wearing the red robe in the morning, looked expressionless, spread his elbows with his hands, supported the leather belt around his waist, walked directly between the two of them, and then went down to the city without saying a word.
The two groups of people in the city immediately stood silent, but they each tried their best to keep their voices down and then dispersed.
Back at the palace, Zhao Guan's family did not have any more discussions, but just had dinner and then went to the harem to rest.
She was the only one who was obviously upset and under great pressure. When Wu Yu saw this, she wanted to take the initiative to comfort her. However, she was young and did not know the fundamentals of the matter. All she could say was that all the ministers in the city were virtuous people.
Officials should open up their voices and discuss issues with these people more often...
As everyone knows, the Zhao Guan family is partly worried about the situation, and partly forced by these 'virtuous people'.
How useful is such relief?
However, fortunately, Wu Yu also saw that Zhao Jiu was becoming more and more impatient, so he said no more after saying what needed to be said...
That night, I was silent and slept until the second watch. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, awakening the official family! The last time he knocked on the door, it was Lu Yihao who made a private comment.
However, Zhao Jiu got up in a daze and allowed Lan Gui and Feng Yi to enter. However, they said it was Yang Yizhong, Chen Gui and Lu Hao who wanted to see them, which made them doubtful.
Let us also say that Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan took turns taking over from Liang Hongyu in the evening to take charge of the imperial palace. Lu Haowen and Lu Yihao also took turns to rest and watch in the side room of the front hall. And it was Yang Yizhong and Lu Haowen who were on duty tonight. So no matter what happened,
Everything must go through the hands of these two people, so it can't be called 'asking for permission'. But it is a bit strange that Chen Gui, who is responsible for the city's defense, arrives at this time.
Could it be a night attack by the Jin army outside the city?
Didn't hear any movement?
Or is there something wrong with the city defense?
However, this kind of random thinking was quickly put to an end. Chen Gui, Yang Yizhong, and Lu Haowen were not the real seekers. The real seeker was a young official who left Nanyang for more than ten days and returned again - Du
Chong's second son Du Yan.
He rode a fast horse and came all night, so naturally he was going to alarm Chen Gui.
"Official!"
After requesting that he could only be accompanied by guards, in the corridor behind the palace, Du Yan, who was covered in mess and in a daze, bowed down and bowed down. Under the eyes of Yang Yizhong behind him, he said something shocking to Zhao Guan's family.
"I, my father and I have a communication with the right deputy marshal of the Jin people, Ta Lan... we have agreed not to fight!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Yizhong, who had been cautious at first, was stunned, while Du Yan also lay down on the cold ground as if he was discouraged and was speechless.
But unexpectedly, there was no change in Zhao Guanjia's expression. If I had to explain it in detail, there was a sense of relief. In fact, Zhao Jiu suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling at this time, which was similar to the period before the war.
A subtle state of mind, and he remembered his own thoughts before the war began - big waves crashing into the sky, and mud and sand falling down.
The weather was still cold, and after the air had frozen for half a quarter of an hour, Zhao Jiufang asked expressionlessly: "So, Yue Fei, Wang Yan, and Ma Gao have no objections to each other?"
"No." Du Yan replied on the ground. "Although Wang Yan and Yue Fei didn't even talk to each other in private, the three of them did not mess up on military affairs. Before I found out about Chen and Chen's father, Niu Gao and Li
After Bao arrived, he planned with the three generals and Yanling guard Li Qiong to persuade my father to send troops..."
Lieutenant General Yang Yi's attention was almost strangely focused on Zhao Guan's family, because Zhao Jiu's expression did not change at this time. Compared with Du Chong's collaboration with the enemy, this incident seemed to make him more inexplicably flustered.
Zhao Jiu nodded and asked again: "Which way did you come from? Have you ever met Jin Jun? How long have you been walking?"
"I didn't dare to take the north road, so I took a detour from Caizhou, took Xiping, passed Zhongyang Mountain, and returned to Nanyang from Qingtai over the water-blocking stone bridge... This was the road used by Yelvma's five-year attack on Ruyang in the past...
No Jin army was seen along the way. As for the time it took..." Du Yan obviously thought for a moment. "I saw my father reporting to Nanyang, saying that the three generals were attacking each other and the three armies were unstable, so I decided to set off. The specific time has not been revealed yet.
Measure!”
"It's only been two and a half days." Zhao Jiu sighed. "Don't go back to your place. I'll ask Commander Yang to find you a secluded place to live immediately. When the matter is over, I will arrange for you to go to Bashu to be a county magistrate..."
I don't know if he realized something, but Du Yan suddenly burst into tears: "Thank you for your grace...my father...my father..."
"Go down!" Zhao Jiu sighed rarely.
Du Yan's heart was as sharp as a knife, but he kowtowed and followed Yang Yizhong away.
After a while, seeing Yang Yizhong and Du Yan leaving, Zhao Guan's family paused for a moment before turning back to the palace. However, when he took his seat and faced Lu Haowen, Chen Gui treated him nervously, but he waited for more than a quarter of an hour.
No words.
Just when the old rules were getting unbearable, Yang Yizhong turned back, and Zhao Guanjia, who had been thinking for a long time, finally spoke slowly again: "Summon Lu Yihao, deputy envoy of the Privy Council; summon Liu Ziyu, the general of the Privy Council, and Hu Hongxiu, editor of the Privy Council; summon the attendant of the palace
Censor Li Guang, Hanlin scholar Li Ruopu, Zhongshusheren Fan Zongyin; Zhao Yushi Zhongcheng Hu Yin, Hanlin scholar Lin Jingmo, Imperial Banzhi deputy commander Liu Yan, deputy minister of the Privy Council Wan Qixi; Zhao Quanzhi Nanyang Prefecture Yan Xiaozhong, Nanyang four walls defense envoy
Wang De, Commander Fu Qing, Commander Xin Yongzong...be careful and ask them not to alarm too many people."
Although the order of the call-up list is very strange, basically a group of key figures who can completely determine military and national affairs are all present.
Yang Yizhong, who knew the inside story, did not dare to neglect and acted immediately, but Lu Haowen and Chen Gui became more serious, because this meant that Du Yan must have brought big news.
Moreover, Yan Xiaozhong and the three generals who were in charge of the treasury lived relatively far away, especially Wang De, who was simply outside the east city wall... But the other main officials were all in Xinggongfang, but they were quickly gathered together, and while
Yan Xiaozhong, Wang De and others hadn't arrived yet, so there was naturally a lot of discussion... They didn't even know about Du Yan's arrival.
Let's say that when Zhao Guanjia saw these people being so noisy, they felt bored and sighed, but they once again thought of something that they had become more and more confused about these days - these people, if taken alone, would not be said to be sages, at least they would be wise people.
They all have their uses, but why do we always get into trouble like this when we get together?
And why is it not as useful as imagined in terms of overall effect?
However, the closer to such a critical moment, the less able to be kidnapped by emotions. Zhao Jiu took a deep breath for a long time, but suddenly stood up and turned to the back regardless. The palace was stunned for a moment, but it continued to become noisy... No one could control it.
What happened to the official family? God knows whether he returned to the harem to drink water or catch up on his sleep.
But in fact, Zhao Jiu did not go to the harem as this group of people thought, but came to the area between the harem and the front hall.
This place originally had a small forest and a corridor. The forest used to be full of wild pigeons, so that the sound of cooing could always be heard when working in the palace. When Nanyang began to prepare for the war, all the trees here were cut down and used as materials and
fuel, but left a pile of wood piles.
The Zhao Guan family just walked out of the back hall and went directly to the wooden pile in the middle of the treeless forest. They sat down with their hands folded and could still clearly hear the movement in the front hall.
Lan Gui, Feng Yi, and Liu Yan followed the trend and saw the officials coming here again, but they were familiar with each other - Lan Gui turned back to the front hall, Feng Yi and Liu Yan stood in the corridor. And as Yan Xiaozhong and
Wang De and others finally arrived, and when Lan Gui turned back to ask for instructions, Zhao Guan's house had already been blowing cold wind in that place for a while.
"I won't go to the front hall, so I will summon you here." Zhao Jiu raised his head and faced each other. "It is my decree that when I summon my ministers here, there should be no noisy discussion in the palace."
Lan Gui bowed his head and said yes, but then asked: "May I ask the officials, who should be summoned first?"
"Summon Liu Yan first!" Zhao Jiu replied. "Senior Lan, you and Feng Yixian go out together and wait."
Lan and Feng looked at each other, but they lowered their heads together and turned around to leave, leaving only Liu Yan who was caught off guard.
"Pingfu." Hearing the palace become quiet as Lan Gui delivered the order, Zhao Jiu waved to him. "Come here, I only want to ask you three things."
"Yes." Liu Yan hurried forward and came to the 'forest'.
"Are the Red Heart Cavalry available?" Zhao Jiu asked calmly, staring at the opponent.
"I am willing to die for the officialdom!" Liu Yan replied frankly.
"Then let me ask you again. Based on your personal judgment, today the Jin army is marching northward with tens of thousands of troops. Is it to lure more troops here in Nanyang or to support Wanyan Talan more?"
"There are more strategies to lure the enemy."
"Is the Jin army more powerful at Wanyan Wushu's place, or is it more powerful at Wanyan Talan's place?"
"If it is true that there is no separate force for support, then the enemy outside Nanyang City is naturally stronger." Liu Yan opened his mouth to answer, but immediately corrected him. "No... even if they support the past, they may not say that Wanyan Wushu is stronger here.
Because the troops and horses in Talan are too scattered, and there is a stronghold here in Wushu, so the troops and horses are carefully selected."
Zhao Jiu nodded: "Go ahead and call Yang Yizhong over. Remember, no matter what I say when I go out later, don't say anything."
Liu Yan was confused and confused, but he still followed the instructions.
After a while, Yang Yizhong, who had just summoned people back from hard work, entered. Before he could salute, Zhao Jiu asked: "Zhengfu, no matter what, can you guarantee that there are no spies in the city and no one will escape?"
"I can guarantee it!" Yang Yizhong said seriously.
"Well, let me ask you again. Today the Jin people sent thousands of horses to the north. Do you think they will lure the enemy more or support them more? Who has more combat power, Wanyan Wushu or Wanyan Talan?
Stronger?"
"The more enemies you lure, the stronger the Wan Yan Wu technique will be!" Yang Yizhong had already given an answer during the day, so it was natural to simply do so at this time.
"Go out and call Hu Hongxiu in."
Yang Yizhong was half nervous and half hesitant, but still handed over and left.
In this way, Zhao Jiu chose an incredible summoning method in order to obtain some accurate judgments from these elites who are prone to trouble once they get together:
Liu Yan, Yang Yizhong, Hu Hongxiu, and Liu Ziyu, four people with military staff skills, came in and out one after another, giving the conclusion that the Jin army sent ten thousand cavalry to the north today to set up an ambush to lure the Nanyang soldiers and horses, or to lure the Zhao Guan family;
Chen Gui, Yan Xiaozhong, Yang Yizhong, Wang De, Fu Qing, and Xin Yongzong gave the judgment and guarantee that Nanyang is absolutely defensible and even unbreakable in the short term;
Wanqixi and Lin Jingmo judged that Du Chong's prestige in the Tokyo Remaining Department was neither high nor low enough to confuse the public;
Hu Yin insisted on the strategic requirement that we should be more proactive;
Li Guang, Li Ruopu, and Fan Zongyin also insisted that Nanyang should be withdrawn.
By this time, only two prime ministers in the palace had not left, and sure enough, the next step was the prime minister Lu Yihao who was summoned alone.
When Zhao Jiu saw Lu Yihao, he immediately spoke without waiting for him to walk down the corridor into the forest, but only said one sentence: "Lu Qing, I have just made up my mind to use the skills you had here that day.
Please give me some advice to deal with the current situation, and please maintain it for me!"
Lu Yihao nodded slightly and left the place without looking back. A moment later, Lu Haowen followed.
"Lu Qing," Zhao Jiu still used this title, but his tone was much softer. "Since I fell into the well, and since I came to Mingdao Palace, please help me mend it..."
After Lu Haowen heard this, he was not happy but was surprised. For a moment, the hairs all over his body stood up, as if he had realized something.
But before he could speak, Zhao Guanjia had already continued: "If you can trust me, please don't ask too many questions and try your best to help me do a big thing."
Lu Haowen asked one of the two elders. He panicked for a long time and thought for a while. However, under the silent gaze of the young official sitting straight on the wooden post opposite, he chose to sigh: "It all depends on
According to the official's instructions, Prime Minister Lu must have discussed it with the official... I just ask that the official and his family must take care of themselves!"
Zhao Jiu was slightly startled, but soon regained his composure, nodded again, explained something, and then set off with Lu Haowen back to the palace.
There was no one talking in the hall, and there were no wild pigeons to cheer at this time, so silence was more appropriate.
And just when the civil and military officials were having different thoughts, Zhao Guanjia really opened his mouth to reveal the answer to the mystery: "Just now, another messenger from Yanling arrived, saying it was Yue Fei, and Wang Yan publicly engaged in a quarrel. Then Wang Yan was defeated and evacuated to Tokyo privately. In addition, today
Thousands of Jurchens are riding north to aid Talan, which shows that the overall situation of Wuhe is completely useless... I have made up my mind to go to Xiangyang to divide the enemy's power!"
There was a slight commotion from top to bottom. Hu Yin, Liu Ziyu, and Hu Hongxiu almost instinctively wanted to come out with stern words of advice, but like everyone else, when they were summoned in private, they all received either serious or sincere advice from Zhao Guanjia.
Just don’t say anything today no matter what.
Objections are of course also words.
Hu Yin should have been the person who reacted most violently to this decision, but when Zhao Guan's family summoned him before, he specifically asked him to learn from Zhang Jun for a day. Thinking of Zhang Jun at this time, and thinking of all the Zhao Guan's deeds in the past, Hu Mingzhong was so embarrassed that he bit the tip of his tongue.
the point.
The whole hall was silent, but Prime Minister Lu Haowen and Prime Minister Lu Yihao took the initiative to express their approval.
It seems that these two people have also been completed one after another.
Since the two prime ministers agreed, this matter was the so-called East and West governments discussing the government in front of the king, and it became a legitimate and legal matter.
Immediately, Zhao Guanjia and Lu Haowen exchanged fluent answers. Lu Yihao nodded repeatedly, but passed a series of specific measures:
Among them, Chen Gui, Yan Xiaozhong, Fu Qing, and Xin Yongzong left first to ensure that the city defense was ensured without alerting everyone;
In Yang Yizhong, Liu Yan was ordered to prepare an elite army of troops and horses to prepare to escort Zhao Guan's family out of the city;
Wang De immediately left the city and went to Dazhai in the east of the city to meet Zhang Jing. Then they made preparations together in the camp and set off at night as much as possible to avoid the sight of the Jin army;
Lin Jingmo, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, Hu Yin, Zhongcheng of Yushi, Wan Qixi, deputy chief minister of the Privy Council, and Lan Gui, the chief prison officer, were asked to accompany Xiangyang, while the two husbands and others were asked to stay behind... As for Mrs. Wu, Zhao Guan's family did not mention it
, naturally he would be abandoned in his sleep and exhaustion.
Thanks to the private summons, inquiries, and even pleas or orders from Zhao Guan's family, things unfolded almost quickly without any debate. And thanks to the fact that Yang Yizhong led many imperial guards to personally execute the arrangements,
There were almost no unnecessary incidents throughout the process.
The reason why I say almost is that when Zhao Guan's family was about to leave the palace gate, they suddenly stopped and asked someone to take down the Jinwu 纛曰 in front of the palace, which was obviously much darker than many similar ones on the city wall, and asked Wan Qixi.
Carrying it myself...it took a lot of time.
But no matter what, about before the fourth watch, the Zhao Guan family finally led the main force of Yuqian Banzhi out of Nanyang City through a secret door in the east of the city, and entered the east Dazhai, where they met Wang De and Zhang Jing in the dark.
Let’s also say that Zhang Jing’s trip was originally ordered by Xu Jingheng, Wang Boyan, Liu Ji and others to come here to support Zhao Guan’s family’s southward march to Xiangyang. Even going further, this was simply the original plan of the Privy Council, plus he had no contact with the people in the city.
dispute, so there is nothing superfluous to say.
Even his preparations here are very good.
But it's a pity that Zhang Jing didn't have any extra words, but Zhao Guanjia did:
"Wang Qing and Zhang Qing are the ones who have the hardest time in this matter today."
Wang De and Zhang Jing quickly knelt down together, saying they did not dare.
"Is the floating bridge ready?" Zhao Jiu continued to communicate.
"On the Baihe River in the south, we took advantage of the ice floes to build three large pontoon bridges early. There will be no mistakes due to melting of ice and snow..." Zhang Jing said seriously.
"What about the east? You marched from the southeast and moved the camp from there, so you should have prepared accordingly, right?" In the dark night, Zhao Jiu stared at Zhang Jing and asked him seriously, the white air in his mouth filling the night sky.
"There is also a pontoon bridge, but it is smaller. Just because the ice was about to melt, in order to facilitate the transportation of the remaining wood from the old camp, a simple pontoon bridge was built." Zhang Jing quickly answered.
"That's enough."
"But the officials, I'd like to say it bluntly, it would be a waste of time to go from the east, and if there is an ambush in the Jin army, it must be the one this evening, and it must be in the east and north of the prime minister... Maybe the officials want to divide
A suspicious soldier?" Zhang Jing wanted to refute, but he woke up halfway.
"That's right." Zhao Jiu sighed quietly, then stepped forward and reached out to help Wang De and Zhang Jing, who were still waiting. "Two generals, I just said that they are the two who have the hardest work today... because I
I want you to work together to lead the army south as quickly as possible... and after your entire army crosses the White River, the ten thousand knights left by the Jin Army outside the White River will definitely attack with all their strength. At that time, please return here as quickly as possible. If you cannot gain a foothold here, then
Go directly into the city.”
Wang De and Zhang Jing were confused for a moment, but Wan Qixi, who was carrying the package, was so confused that he couldn't help but straighten the package on his back... This was different from Yang Yizhong, Hu Yin, Lin Jingmo, Lan Gui, and Liu Yan
The silence of the five people formed a sharp contrast.
Of course, the silence of these five people was completely different. Yang Yizhong seemed to know what the official would do and what he was going to do from the beginning. He just carried out the execution silently. In addition, he also had a trace of supervision and scrutiny between the second general and the second general.
The meaning of several people beside you;
Liu Yan was quite simple. He had already made up his mind when he parted ways with Yaoshi Guo before Jingkang, and there was no reason to go back. After Jingkang, he had made up his mind even more, even if he went to die, he would never hesitate;
Lin Jingmo, on the other hand, received relatively little information today, and instinctively began to think randomly and analyze the situation;
As a eunuch, Lan Gui was destined to follow the Zhao family, so there was nothing he could think about;
As for Hu Yin, he was actually still feeling incomprehensible and angry about the sudden decision of Zhao Guan's family to go south;
"Are the officials trying to lure the enemy?" After a moment, Zhang Jing looked at him blankly.
"The officials are not going to Xiangyang?" Wang De was also at a loss.
"Go to Xiangyang, but you must also lure the enemy." Zhao Jiu replied calmly. "However, it is you who lure the enemy. I will use more than ten thousand of you to act as suspects for me and lure out the Jin army's ambush on the other side of the river.
, to cover the 800 Red Heart Team to escort me across the river from the east, and then... go south! Anyway, thank you for your hard work today, and Commander Yang, and he will also lead the imperial squad to join you as suspects!"
Yang Yizhong remained silent, just staring at Wang De and Zhang Jing without saying a word. It was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry. Wang De and Zhang Jing, whose hands were pinched by Zhao Guanjia, looked at each other, but they had no time to think about it, so they could only stand together.
He gritted his teeth and bowed his head: "Here!"
Behind him, Hu Yin, who had thought that the official family was going to change his mind, was disappointed again, but Wan Qixi had already fallen silent with the others - as a bold guess emerged from his mind, his heart beat faster.
.
At the fourth watch, at the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the sun was up and the sky was still dark, but the Song army had already begun to take action.
