"Three reasons." Jin Wushu replied proudly. "One is that the spring weather is getting warmer, and the tributaries and small rivers in the Huaihe River may melt, and there may be a spring flood..."
Ali, Zhen Lubu, and all the Jurchen Meng'an all woke up and nodded.
"Second," Jin Wushu continued to speak casually. "Then you have listened to the Zhao family's son's will. There is no point in defending the country against the Jin and not being allowed to negotiate peace. The only thing that needs attention is the recruitment
The rebel militia has been adopted for national purposes... I am not afraid of the bandits from Lianghuai. The militia heard the message and came to Shouzhou to support them, but they have to fight one after another, which is always time-consuming and labor-intensive.
, it’s better to end this matter as soon as possible.”
Nian Lubu and others frowned slightly, as if they were thinking of the rebels in Hebei and the bandits who simply acted as the main anti-gold force in Jingdong, but they could not refute.
"Third thing, General Ali doesn't understand the cunning of the Zhao family." Jin Wushu continued to speak scornfully in his position. "For example, the Emperor of Zhao and Song Dynasty on the other side was provoked by me and lost control. It is certainly true.
But it doesn’t necessarily mean that you really have to stick to it…”
"What do you mean?" Ali asked with a frown.
"Have you thought about it, General Ali?" Jin Wushu replied proudly. "Is it possible that the petty official opposite is really afraid of me? On the surface, he is so firm and fierce, but he spits on me, calls for defense and resistance, and also
It was entrusted to the prime minister by the emperor's heir, but in fact he had the intention to deceive us and then take the opportunity to escape?! If we had been cautious as you said and waited until the ships and supplies were ready before crossing, the Emperor of Song Dynasty would have run away long ago
So what if we cross the Yangtze River?”
Ali instinctively wanted to refute, but then he thought about the actions of the Two Saints in Tokyo in the past, and he was speechless.
"That's it." Seeing that Ali had been refuted, Jin Wushu felt very comfortable, so he simply spread his hands and said, "I have arranged everything perfectly, and we will build a floating bridge to cross the river in the future! Do you have anything to say about this matter?"
Ali and Zhen Lubu looked at each other and thought about it for a while. In addition, their previous objections had been erased in the plastering military meeting, and they had nothing to say, so they nodded.
The two generals and the coach were already in agreement, so the people below naturally had nothing to say.
but……
"Besides crossing the river, there is something we need to be careful about." When the party was over, Zhen Lubu, the first person to stand up, suddenly said casually.
"This matter doesn't matter. Just do it if General Zan Lubu thinks you should do it!" Jin Wushu was slightly startled, then he also reacted, but his face was indifferent.
Zhen Lubu nodded repeatedly and took the lead to leave the tent, and the military meeting was completely dispersed immediately.
And just when Shi Wenbin, who had just controlled his emotions, was about to say goodbye and leave, Jin Wushu suddenly said: "Shi joins the army. There is no need to go to the rear camp tonight, just in front of my tent.
Find a place to sleep...this is the grace I give you!"
Shi Wenbin was at a loss and confused, but there was no room for rejection. He could only bow his head repeatedly and thank the fourth prince for his kindness. Jin Wushu went to the back without further explanation.
Furthermore, since Shi Wenbin stayed in the Chinese army's tent, he had no bedding and no place to wash himself. He did not dare to sleep on the fur on the fourth prince's main seat, nor did he dare to use the wine in the seat to keep warm. He could only huddle up.
Suffering in the corner... When I was tired from the cold, there was a constant sound of horse hooves galloping outside the tent, and the sound of ringing armor was incessant. Then there was also the smell of meat coming from the back tent, and there was the sound of a woman pleading. It finally calmed down, and then joined the army
But then I thought about the will I had recited in the evening, my family members who stayed in Yishui, I thought about the fear I had suffered these past few days, and I thought I had no other way out, so I cried secretly for half the night, and then I managed to fall asleep.
"Is it Zhengfu?" Zhao Jiu turned over and sat up in the imperial tent, which was much wider because it was made of wood, and asked casually towards a familiar figure beside the light in the direction of the tent door.
"Guan family!" Yang Yizhong, who was sitting on a chair inside the tent and dozing, quickly got up and responded. "Why did the official family wake up? What's the matter?"
"No, I'm just worried about the situation of the war... The Jin people have made it clear that they want to abandon Caicheng first and try to cross the river. According to what Han Shizhong said before, this should be a good thing, but I still feel uncomfortable!" Zhao Jiu, who was sitting on the bed, said frankly. "You must know, have I ever been on a battlefield or seen a serious battle?"
Yang Yizhong was obviously about to speak but stopped.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Jiu could see clearly through the light, but asked directly. "Is there anything else that you and I can't say?"
"Actually, the official family has been on the battlefield." Yang Yizhong said with a forced smile. "Before the official family fell into the well, we were going from Hebei to Nanjing (Shangqiu). The road was blocked by thieves. I fought in front and was covered in blood. The official family Thinking that I was injured, he summoned me to inquire, and then gave me wine and rewards... It was at that time that I was noticed by the officials and asked for it from Taiwei Zhang."
Zhao Jiuqian laughed.
And Yang Yizhong also quickly explained: "But counterinsurgency is different from that of the Jin people... In counterinsurgency operations, you can win a battle by killing hundreds or tens of thousands of people in one go, but when fighting against the Jin people, unless the other party takes the initiative to retreat, Otherwise, we can only claim victory by killing them all. Not to mention that after Jingkang, the Jin people took all our armor and their strength was even better than before."
"That's what I'm worried about!" Zhao Jiu shook his head and sighed. "Although the shouting was fierce the day before yesterday, in fact, at this moment, with the current situation, the Jin army is strong and our army is powerless. This is a reality that cannot be easily reversed."
"If we can hold on to this battle and wait for the enemy to retreat, the momentum will gradually turn around." Yang Yizhong quickly comforted him.
"Let's not mention these," Zhao Jiu quickly shook his head. "I know myself. What I can do for this battle is sit under the dragon awning in the northern mountains of Bagong Mountain to strengthen my morale. The battle will only be fought by Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Wang De. Come and fight... Zhengfu!"
"I'm here!"
"Those words I said the night before were only for my own pleasure, but they caused you trouble."
"I don't dare to accept it!"
"But I'm telling the truth... you listen to me." Zhao Jiu suddenly added. "I know what you thought afterwards. It's nothing more than that you thought I was taking a step back to make progress and said such big words. , the original intention is to force the civil servants to recognize my bottom line of sticking to the Huai River... But, those are really my words from the bottom of my heart."
"Guan family!" Yang Yizhong was helpless to the extreme.
"Zhengfu, think about it... you should have seen clearly these few months since you have been with me. I am really afraid of death and I really don't dare to end it on my own!" Several servants nearby poked their heads through the back door, but then retracted. But Zhao Jiu ignored it and continued to speak frankly. "Is the humiliation of Chonghun Hou acceptable? So this wave has really failed, and I sincerely beg you to end it for me! This is not What you ask of me is privately my plea to you, Yang Zhengfu! You don’t have to agree to keep a secret, just keep it in mind for the sake of hatred between the country and the family!"
Yang Yizhong remained silent.
"From today on, don't come to the imperial tent to stay up late." After saying this, Zhao Jiu tried his best to say again. "Because we don't know when the war will start, and the power of the Jin people is there. When there is no choice, everyone will We are all going to the battlefield...you must recharge your batteries."
"No!" Yang Yizhong reluctantly responded.
The whole night was silent, and in a blink of an eye it was morning.
In addition, Shi Wenbin, who had finally spent the night, probably felt that he had completed the task of "overnight", so he hurried out of the tent and prepared to return to the camp and take care of things. However, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty had just joined the army under the curtain. When he came out of the Chinese army's tent, he was stunned... It turned out that overnight, dozens of people from the Song Dynasty who accompanied the Jin army on the east and west routes of Jingjing, that is, Shi Wenbin's comrades in the rear camp, were usually jealous and sarcastic. Those former colleagues have all been beheaded!
At this time, there were dozens of heads, all of which were hung on both sides of the general platform in front of the Chinese military tent.
Several Chinese Jurchen sergeants on duty who still had the smell of blood on their bodies turned around and saw that Shi Wenbin, who had been tied up here and whipped the day before yesterday but had escaped death today, pointed and started laughing and chatting.
But this time, Shi Canjun fell to the ground and became speechless, but he did not cry out any tears.
ps: No, I have been too busy at the end of the year these past few days, so I have to adjust quickly... This semi-tired state during the new book period is not good... I can't get excited, no wonder I can't add it to my collection.
