Chapter 314: The Battle of Tokyo 3

He reported that the Jin army was crossing the river, and angrily reprimanded Liang Fangping for misleading the country. "'It is also true, if Liang Fangping uses dim sum again, quickly goes north and builds a defensive position, delays the time for the Jurchen horse team to go south, and waits for the soldiers and horses of the Qin King to arrive, there is hope to repel the Jin army.

Now, Junzhou's defeat is not without a chance, but he doesn't want to take that step, anyway, the Jurchens have gone so far, it doesn't hurt to let them reach the city, as for Liang Fangping, it's just an outdated eunuch temple, just buckle the basin on the other party's head, and you won't have a chance to bite me anyway.

That night, Zhao Ji ran with Cai You, Cai Jing, Wang Hao and others also ran away one after another, and the city of Kaifeng exploded all of a sudden.

Zhao Huan also had no choice, and ordered Fan Ne to command the Shengjie army to escort the servants, and at the same time allowed the Empress Taishang, the prince, and the emperor Ji Tianming to go out of the city, and prepare to let Zhu Lian and others go out of the city.

Qin Hui was filled with righteous indignation and actively suggested to resist the enemy, while Wang Xiu was a cold bystander and made his own plans.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the entire Kaifeng City, early in the morning, Zhao Huan convened the ministers of the two prefectures and the six ministers of Shangshu in the Yanhe Palace. Bai Shizhong was the first to advocate hunting Xiangyang and Dengzhou, according to the world's Zhongyun, according to the danger of mountains and rivers, to curb the trend of Sichuan and Jianghuai, and temporarily avoid the edge of the Jin army.

Li Gang insisted on objecting, saying: "The people of the capital have discussed a lot, and they all say that some ministers have invited His Majesty to hunt to avoid the enemy, and the people's hearts are in turmoil. If this is the case, who still has the heart to face the battle, the Zongmiao Society is in danger, and the Daojun Emperor is located in His Majesty, how can he give it up lightly"

Bai Shizhong glanced at Li Gang and said: "The Jurchen is strong, and the capital can't hold it." ”

Li Gang said disdainfully: "The world is majestic and mighty, which has a strong capital and the temple, Sheji, hundreds of officials, and all the people are in the capital, where will you go if you abandon Kaifeng, if you can inspire the military and appease the people, there is no city that cannot be defended." Seeing Zhao Huan nodding yes, he hit the railway while it was hot: "Kaifeng City has been repaired and strengthened for a hundred years, the city is high and deep, and the defense system is complete. ”

As soon as the words fell, the chamberlain Chen Liangbi said: "Your Majesty, as far as the slaves know, the four walls of the capital are not one or two, and the moat river in the Fanjiagang area in the east of the city is shallow and narrow, and it is difficult to defend. ”

Zhao Huan had no idea, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Chen Liangbi accompanied Li Qing's family and Chen Qing's family to the east of the city to investigate, and then the capital hall discussed." ”

After Li Gang and the others went, Bai Shizhong was about to speak, but he saw Zhang Quan, the new enshrined official in the inner palace, coming over, and said softly: "Official, Niangniang is asking to see you in the back cabinet." ”

Zhao Huan didn't know what was going on with Zhu Lian, so he said at the moment: "Zhongqing is here for a while." He turned into the back cabinet and saw Zhu Lian standing anxiously waiting, and said, "What's the matter with the lady?"

When Zhu Lian saw Zhao Huan coming, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Official, there is a discussion outside to stay"

Zhao Huan was stunned, and said helplessly: "I'm so embarrassed"

"The official family can stick to Kaifeng"

Zhao Huan's face was ugly, he didn't know what Zhu Lian meant, but he really didn't have confidence.

Zhu Lian's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, and he said softly: "It's a matter of national fortune, the official family prepared a car battle last night, and it can't be done." ”

Zhao Huan's expression flickered, and he hurriedly said: "I almost forgot, the lady cleaned up and took the eldest brother and second sister out of the city later." ”

"How can this be made, is it difficult for the mother of the country to abandon the women and children in the city and flee for their lives alone" Zhu Lian looked directly at Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan's face was slightly red, Zhang Quan stood behind the screen, and said strangely: "The official family, the two members of the Privy Council have all agreed to the order, and there is an urgent military situation." ”

"No, Zhang Quan, you escorted the saint out of the city at night, and Wang Xiao sent the forbidden army to wait outside the city." After that, without waiting for Zhu Lian to distinguish, he turned around and walked to the front hall.

"Sage." Zhang Quan swallowed his saliva, it was the first time he saw Zhao Huan rebelling against Zhu Lian, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Second sister, the official family is also kind." Qingjun was on the side to convince him.

"It's up to the official's arrangement." Zhu Lian said very plainly.

Qingjun keenly found that the second sister's gaze was cold, and the second sister had become more and more calm over the years, and had become more rational in handling affairs, and even made her feel that she was no longer the one who stayed in the boudoir, whether she was possessed by a fairy

When Li Gang and the others came back, they still insisted on their own words, and Chen Liangbi couldn't say much truth except for insisting that he couldn't defend it. Li Gang put forward many specific suggestions, such as rectifying the army and horses, raising his voice to fight, and sticking to the army of King Qin.

Zhao Huan's mind came alive again, and he said hesitantly: "In what Li Qing said, who is the general?"

Li Gang looked around at the important ministers, and said without hesitation: "There is Wang Wenshi outside the north wall, he is a scholar and a soldier. Bai Xianggong and Li Xianggong may not know the soldiers, but they are the prime ministers, and it is also the responsibility of the two prime ministers to use their lives to help the officials to resist the enemy. ”

Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan's faces were pale, they usually chanted poems against each other, and it was okay to talk about state affairs, and they were not afraid to face the wolf-like Jin Army

Bai Shizhong glared at Li Gang angrily, raised his voice and said: "Shilang is also a scholar, can he fight?"

Li Gang said resolutely: "Your Majesty does not regard the ministers as mediocre Confucians, and the ministers are willing to repay them with death, but the ministers are humble and lowly, which is not enough to subdue the six armies." ”

"The Qing family is a true and righteous person." Zhao Huan's eyes lit up, and he said with joy: "There is time to govern."

Zhao Ye heard Zhao Guan's family ask him about his part, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Shangshu Youcheng Yu Wencui is with Emperor Nanxing." "Can he be careless Li Yan has just been beheaded by the raider, and he is also the backbone of supporting Zhao Kai, and he has been trembling.

"I will seal the Qing as the right man of Shangshu, and all the secretaries will go to Chongzheng to have dinner outside the gate, and they will discuss it again in the afternoon."

Zhao Huan has no appetite, he has no idea when he thinks about it, he will stick to his ancestors' society for a while, and he will be afraid that the Jin army forces will want to hunt.

Wang Xiao tried his best to see that Zhao Huan was preoccupied, and knew that the official family still couldn't make up his mind, so he said cautiously: "The official family, when will the car of the mother and the prince of the country leave the palace?"

Zhao Huan shook his head and blurted out: "But the sooner the better." ”

"The Jin army is crossing the river."

Zhao Huan shuddered, put down the chopsticks in his hand, stared blankly at the table of food in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Message, Li Gang will stay in Tokyo." ”

Wang Xiao smiled knowingly, after a meal, Zhao Huan changed his mind again, and obviously wanted to hunt again.

Throughout the afternoon, several times, Li Gang insisted on the War of Resistance, and finally under the persuasion of the emperor's uncle Yan Wang Zhao Qi and Yue Wang Zhao Li, Zhao Huan came down, took the paper imperial book "can be returned", and used the emperor's seal treasure to order Wang Xiao to chase back Zhu Lian's frame as soon as possible.

That night, Li Gang stayed in the Shangshu Provincial Office, while the other two important ministers stayed in the Inner East Gate Division, and Wang Xiu was on duty in the Privy Council.

"Wenshi, there can be an urgent military situation" Li Gang was worried about the military situation. When he came to the Privy Council to see that Wang Xiu was still dealing with the military intelligence officer Tang, he couldn't talk about Wang Xiu's likes and dislikes, and besides, Wang Xiu was indeed capable, although his attitude was cold and polite.

Wang Xiu glanced at Li Gang and said with a deep sigh: "The Jin army crossed the river, and only seventy-eight soldiers and horses of King Qin arrived. ”

"Seventy-eight generals" Li Gang frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you invite the Jurchens to cross the river along the river?"

Wang Xiu seemed to expect Li Gang to say this, and immediately said: "The seventy-eight generals will fight for thousands of miles, dozens of battles of all sizes, and they will be exhausted for a long time, and Taiwei He will be defeated, if it weren't for the seventy-eight generals, I am afraid that there will not be a few people who can return to Kaifeng City." ”

Li Gang was silent, the Jin army advanced step by step, the Song army was like a frightened bird, He Guan didn't even have the courage to fight, and the Jin army collapsed before it arrived. Seventy-eight nearly 1,000 cavalry intercepted the cavalry of the Jin army in peacetime, and only then did they protect thousands of people and escape back to Kaifeng City.

"The seventy-sixth general will retreat to the north of Ki to recuperate, which can also be regarded as adding troops to Kaifeng." Wang Xiu glanced at Li Gang and said, "I brought out this army, the fighting style is extremely tenacious, and staying outside the city can definitely contain the Jin army." ”

"Contain the Jurchens" Li Gang looked at Wang Xiu thoughtfully, his gaze was very complicated, and he seemed to have a thousand words, but he couldn't express them.

"Within a few days, the vanguard of the Jin army will inevitably arrive under the city, and there are no soldiers to fight outside, so I really can't think about it. In those years, I divided my troops to attack the bandits, and I forced them to submit. Seventy-eight generals with more than 7,000 horse infantry troops can completely contain the Jin army to attack the city. ”

Li Gang could not but consider the cruel reality, the Dahe defense line was completely lost, and the defense of Tokyo was imperative, thinking that it was not the best strategy to retreat into the city, and there was a certain amount of mobile troops outside the city to reduce the pressure on the Jin army.

He stared at Wang Xiu and said seriously: "You are sure"

Wang Xiu immediately realized that the opportunity had come, and Li Gang would be deposed, but at this time he was definitely a strong figure, and a word could decide whether he would stay or not, and the opportunity should not be lost and not come again, he said very resolutely: "Seventy-eight will be trained in the next hand, if I lead the troops to fight again, I will definitely be able to contain the Jin army." ”

Li Gang's eyes flickered, and he didn't make any answer.

Wang Xiu was also very apprehensive in his heart, it was not the best time to take charge of the army, but he had to go to the helm, and it was definitely not a good thing for him to leave the army for a long time. Li Gang's ambiguous attitude made him unsure of the other party's thoughts, could it be that he was suspicious of his purpose, he had no obvious purpose, and he was still mainly fighting against the Jin army.

At this time, there was a report from outside that Zhao Guan's family decided to go out of the city tomorrow.

Li Gang's face changed, his body shook a few times, and he waved away the officials.

"As soon as the official family left, the people's hearts were shaken. Kaifeng is not guaranteed" Wang Xiu is telling the truth, and only Li Gang has the courage to turn the tide, he has, but he doesn't want to be overdrawn, and it is no longer a matter of one person to fight on this job.

Li Gang hesitated a little, and said impatiently: "Enter the palace and go to see the official's house." ”

"The door of the temple has long been locked." Wang Xiu shook his head. "The truth is that it is all promised, and it can be called the opening of the palace ban." Li Gang looked at Wang Xiu eagerly. The Privy Council has accepted the decree, and it is still convenient, at least he can knock on the gate to see Zhao Guan's family, which is much better than him, the right man of Shangshu. "Let the official family calm down overnight, and it's not too late to watch tomorrow morning." Wang Xiu groaned slightly
