Back in front of me, with the words of Zhao Guanjia, almost everyone fell into deep thought. Even Zhao Jiu himself stared at Han Shizhong without saying a word. Therefore, the interior of this wooden military building that had just been renovated was quiet again.
When we came down, for a moment there was only the swaying candlelight causing light and shadow, and the spring water of the Huaihe River outside the house slightly rippled, causing the sound of waves.
"How about asking Wang De to support one or two?" After a moment of pause, Hu Yin suddenly took the initiative to suggest. "Wang Yaksha should be the general manager of Guangzhou?"
"No!" Zhang Jun refused immediately. "How can Wang De command the Miao and Liu Dynasties with his qualifications? Even when Prime Minister Yu Wen went to Huaixi to take charge, he was first granted the status of Tongzhi Privy Councilor! Let's talk about it.
Well, if I change generals before the formation, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating!"
"What should we do?" Hu Yin asked immediately, but in the end he couldn't help but look at Han Shizhong and Yang Yizhong, two people who knew the military... Since that day's water battle, it has been public that officials do not like civil servants talking about military affairs on paper.
Something happened.
But for some reason, Han Shizhong was in a state of wandering mind at this time.
"Unless the officials and Wang De go to Huaixi!" Yang Yizhong saw Han Shizhong standing in the house with his head in his hands for half a day without saying anything. However, the officials only stared at Han Shizhong with expectation on his face, and could only helplessly spread his hands to answer. "But so.
Isn’t it putting the cart before the horse?”
"Isn't there nothing we can do?" Hu Yin was anxious for a moment. "How can we win the battle but the situation becomes critical?"
"That's because the situation has never improved even half." Zhao Guanjia finally spoke, but he was shocked. "The so-called winning battles are actually just superficial battles and have nothing to do with the fundamental military foundations of the two countries...
"
"What does the official mean?" Zhang Jun couldn't help it. "Before, the official was so desperate, and just then they fiercely mobilized the generals to fight bravely. Now rebels are swarming everywhere, and tens of thousands of enemy troops are here, and they have lost their lives."
Thousands of people have to return in vain... The situation seems to be very good right before our eyes, so how can it just appear on the surface?"
"I'm talking about military affairs." Zhao Jiu saw that Han Shizhong was still thinking about the question, so he simply continued to lie down in his seat and answered quickly. After all, he had an extremely clear understanding of this issue that far exceeded the times. "De Yuan, I am here.
Let me ask you, not to mention that the victory or defeat has not yet been decided, but Jin Wushu really retreated this time, so what? Next year, the year after, if he leads the main force of the Jin Army's Eastern Route Army and gathers 100,000 people in front
Come on, can we really stop it?"
Zhang Jun choked for it.
"Not only that, but there is also Shaanzhou Li Yanxian. This person fought hard earlier than us years ago and almost led the rebel army to regain the entire Shaanxi Province with his own strength. He is very brave... But in terms of military terms, Wanyan Loushi abandoned
The Western Army that had lost Shaanxi turned around and concentrated on Shaanzhou. Will Li Yanxian be able to defend it in the future?"
Zhao Guanjia sighed quietly and continued to ask.
"Huan Dongzong stayed behind and worked hard at the front. He started almost at the same time as us a year ago. With a bunch of messy defeated troops, he withstood tens of thousands of Jin troops in Huazhou and prevented the Jin troops from crossing the river. There is no doubt that
He is a model of a handsome minister... But whether it is Wan Yan, Nian Han, or even Ta Lai, there really is an elite Jin army of more than 50,000 who is determined to destroy the Tokyo Remaining Division.
, can it really sustain it?”
Zhang Jun was sweating profusely and speechless.
"But why fight? What's the point of this kind of almost reluctant victory?" Zhao Guanjia said with emotion, and continued talking without waiting for a few people in front of him to speak, as if he was asking and answering himself. "It's not because of Jingkang.
It is a shame that after the fall of Lianghe, there was no possibility of peace between the Song and Jin Dynasties. Unless one side was destroyed and exterminated, there would be no justice. And such a war is the so-called total war. In a total war, what is fought is not just one city, one place, one city
One win and one loss! Rather, it means one city, one place, one win and one loss, and even every plant and tree must be fought as hard as possible!"
Everyone below Zhang Jun became solemn.
"For now, the military affairs of the Song Dynasty are actually incompetent, but at this time, through two or three small local victories, it tells the world that the country is still there, that the country has not given up resistance, and that the Jin people are not invulnerable.
This is an incredible achievement! I never expect to settle anything with these few victories, that one is too far away... I just want to tell the people of the world that no matter how hard it is, there is always a way! This is the reason for this battle!
"Zhao Jiu continued to sigh. "Others don't understand this truth, and it's not easy to say it out and shake people's hearts, but as young people who are the pillars of the country, you must understand it!"
"I accept my instruction!" Zhang Jun quickly bowed his head.
In this exchange just now, the censor Zhongcheng seemed to have returned to that New Year's Eve night, but it was rare for him to feel some kind of shock from the bottom of his heart.
Hu Yin, Lin Jingmo, and Yang Yizhong on the side also quickly bowed their heads... As a close official, in the eyes of these people, this official is sometimes too casual and too ignorant, but in terms of the current situation.
, but in the end he retained some great wisdom and courage.
"Officials!" At this moment, Han Shizhong finally spoke seriously. "Actually, there is still a way!"
"I know that a good minister will not betray me." Zhao Jiu immediately laughed and turned around. "What is the solution?"
"Start directly in front of you and overthrow Wanyan Wushu's camp!" Han Shizhong replied simply with his head held high.
"Did you take the initiative to attack when the enemy was divided into three groups and only the last one with six or seven thousand men was in the camp?" Yang Yizhong was too late to ask.
"yes!"
"That's six to seven thousand gold troops. How could they be destroyed in a place like that outside the city?" Yang Yizhong shook his head repeatedly.
"The Jin army cannot be destroyed! But if we can concentrate our forces and attack fiercely at night, we may be able to burn down the Jin army's camp, causing the Jin people to lose their foothold and not dare to go up the Huaihe River again!" Han Shizhong said scornfully.
"How can a mere camp cause the Jin Army to lose its foothold?"
"If the Jin army naturally retreated north, occupied Mengcheng behind it as a stronghold, and retreated step by step, this strategy would naturally be useless, because the Jin army had countless continuous footholds." Han Shizhong's momentum remained unabated. "But if
The Jin army's original intention was to raid Guangzhou, so after they divided into two groups with 13,000 to 4,000 cavalry, they must have detoured from the north to Shunchang Prefecture. At that time, they would not occupy the city as a stronghold and occupy the city.
They will not put heavy troops to guard... So at this time, their only foothold is in the camp outside Cai City! If their camp is overturned, they can only go north and occupy the city! Those two troops
We will immediately turn back to protect the remaining six or seven thousand people! Otherwise, in the wilderness, all the baggage will be lost, and there will be no chance and no protection. I am afraid that these six or seven thousand people will really be destroyed by us!"
Yang Yizhong was silent.
At this time, Han Shizhong turned to Zhao Jiu again and said sternly: "Guan, the key to this battle is timing. It must be launched soon after the Jin army is divided into three parts and two parts have left! Not only will they not have time to come back for reinforcements, but also
They can't raid Gwangju! If the Jin people withdraw the second unit tomorrow, the battle should start tomorrow night!"
Zhao Jiu already understood that this was to seize the slightest opportunity generated by the enemy's dynamic movement.
"It's still wrong!" Yang Yizhong shook his head again. "If this is the case, we must try our best to concentrate the fighting force tomorrow and night. At present, Lieutenant Zhang in Caicheng only has 10,000 troops available, and the rest are civilians.
With the defeated troops, if they fail, they will destroy the fortified city..."
"Yang Dalang, please don't give gold to Captain Zhang." Han Shizhong's lips curled up slightly for a moment. "Where can I get the 10,000 usable troops from Caicheng? If I really want to go out of the city to rob the stronghold, he will only have more than 3,000 old soldiers brought from Taiyuan.
Available!”
Yang Yizhong was speechless for a moment, but he didn't know whether to agree or disagree.
"But I have five thousand usable soldiers here!" Han Shizhong proudly said with his hands raised. "For the official family, Wang De's department can also use one! Qiao Zhongfu and Zhang Jing's department can also select one thousand, Huyantong's department can also use one thousand, Yang Dalang
The Imperial Guard that I have led has hundreds of dollars, and it can still be used!"
"If the soldiers and horses here at Bagong Mountain cross the river to attack, they will have already alerted the Jin army's camp!" Yang Yizhong became increasingly helpless. "If we divide our troops and attack one by one, we will just add firewood to the fire..."
"I know what good minister means!"
Just when the three civil servants were digesting the information, Zhao Guanjia suddenly laughed. "Starting tomorrow, I will thank you for your hard work and cover the Huaihe River with large sailing ships, and then form a team of small boats to send Liu Guangshi's old troops to Xia Caicheng."
On the south bank, transfer all the available troops from me and Henan into Xiacai City!"
Inside the military building, everyone's expression changed.
"Are the officials going too?" Not to mention a few civil servants and Yang Yizhong, Han Shizhong, the leader of the plan, suddenly became panicked.
"If I don't go and sit in Cai City, aren't you afraid that Lieutenant Zhang will trick you to death?" Zhao Jiu looked a little strange. "Or would Lieutenant Zhang dare to believe you? Unless I go, we can't overthrow the Jin army."
Daying! Is this the truth?"
Han Shizhong hesitated to speak, but could only nod heavily. However, several civil servants from Zhang Jun on down did not move at all, as if they had already learned a lesson and knew that admonishment was useless.
As for Yang Yizhong, he rarely thought about going to another official family. He was probably more worried that Taiwei Zhang had sold all the movies used by the emperor, right?
After all, there is nothing that these ruffians from the Western Army dare not do!
At this point, even if Yang Dalang and Zhang Taiwei had a close relationship, he would not dare to pat his chest as a guarantee!
Therefore, Yang Yizhong actually did not object.
Seeing that no one objected, Zhao Guanjia felt proud for a moment. After all, looking at it this way, he was quite useful!
