Zhang Jian did not deny Yelu Zongxin's talent, and also admired his intelligence, but he was still far from an old minister like Xiao Hui in terms of using troops and combat, and his experience and tactics were inferior.

The simplest thing is that he has time to ask His Majesty to let his 50,000 former army reorganize a little before setting off to Changping, but in order to hurry up and arrive in Changping as soon as possible to set up defenses, he actually went to Juyong Pass non-stop, ignoring the tired 50,000 former army.

Even if it was a former army composed of Jurchens, Bohai and Han Chinese, it should not be used in this way, and the cattle would have to rest, let alone an army of 50,000?

The 50,000 exhausted front army, no matter how fierce and brave it is, once it encounters the surprise attack of the Song army at this time, it is also unbearable to fight, in case there are Song people ambushed on the road to Changping, then these 50,000 people are not sheep into the mouth of the tiger?

The more Zhang Jian thought about it, the more he felt that Yelu Zongxin was overwhelmed, especially the former army, which broke the formation, and could not be handed over to him.

Glancing back at the emperor's palace tent, Zhang Jian walked over against the cold wind and said to the imperial tent at the door: "Report to Your Majesty, Minister Zhang Jian has something to do!" ”

Before the royal tent army could answer, Yelu Zongzhen's voice came from the palace tent: "Prime Minister Zuo entered the tent to speak." ”

Zhang Jian, who entered the palace tent, saw the emperor standing in front of the map and carefully observed, sometimes frowning and thinking, sometimes smiling slightly, Zhang Jian was used to the emperor's small movements, and stepped forward to bow and salute: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xiao Hui, the king of the Southern Courtyard, ......"

Yelu Zongzhen waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Jian's words and said: "I have my own decision on Xiao Hui's affairs, Prime Minister Zuo will take a look at the map first, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is stupid, and he didn't even send troops to occupy such an important place as Deshengkou, if I send a good general here, win the victory, Juyong Pass, Changping City will be like a zigzag, mutual aid offensive and defensive!" ”

Zhang Jian looked at the map and said: "It's true, but the victory pass is located later, and it is quite close to Shimen Pass, which is the main way to advance and retreat, I don't know who Your Majesty sends?" ”

Yelu Zongzhen looked at Zhang Jian's expectant expression and smiled slightly: "Naturally, it is Xiao Hui, the old and serious king of the Southern Courtyard!" The reason why I let Xiao Hui lead the rear army is because he is old and serious, and in the first battle of Western Xia, our Daliao Chinese army was attacked, but the generals of the rear army did not know how to hold the retreat, which caused our Chinese army to suffer heavy losses, otherwise how could the rear army be defeated? Gather the rout to meet the Chinese army, and I still have the strength to fight in Daliao! Now I let Xiao Hui sit firmly in the victory, once there is a difference, I can come to the aid of the Chinese army in the near future, and I can calmly retreat and counterattack in the distance. ”

Zhang Jian's eyes lit up, and indeed as His Majesty said, there must be an old and serious minister in charge of this victory, and nodded happily: "Your Majesty Shengming, this place is not Xiao Hui can not be competent!" ”

Yelu Zongzhen laughed and said, "Prime Minister Zuo originally came to complain to me, right?" Although Yelu Zongxin is also resourceful, he is too young, and he will inevitably be too hasty in using troops, and he does not know how to advance or retreat, but he can use it freely as long as he has a little control in the front army, and Xiao Hui Laocheng is most at ease in the rear army. ”

Zhang Jian's admired five-body body bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty's way of employing people is perfect, and no one in the world can come out of the right!" ”

With a long sigh, Yelu Zongzhen said with a little disappointment: "Yes, Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, can compete with me, but I don't have the opportunity to compete with him on the battlefield...... It's a shame that I can't defeat it with my own hands! ”

Zhang Jian was silent, if the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was still there, the southern expedition of the Great Liao was a disaster that killed himself, the battle of Tanyuan that year, the army of the Great Song Dynasty could not stand it, but the Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Heng came to the battlefield in person, and the imperial expedition turned the tide of the battle in an instant, and for a time the Song army's fighting spirit and madness even the fierce Khitans had to avoid its edge.

If this Zhao Zhen, who is far beyond Emperor Zhenzong, appears, I don't know what kind of situation it will be...... Zhang Jian was glad that Yelu had taken away the greatest threat to Da Liao with one arrow, and now he was worried that the mourning soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty would make Da Liao pay more to take Xijin Mansion......

But fortunately, the important ministers of Xijin Mansion chose the seemingly correct and wrong method of keeping the mourning secret, once the war started, what would the Song army be flustered about if they couldn't find their emperor who was personally driving?

Zhang Jian didn't believe that Xia Zhu and the others dared to erect the dragon flag representing the emperor after the emperor's death, and the dragon flag came out but the emperor was gone, and the panic caused by this was afraid that it would make the Song army in the entire Xijin Mansion mess up!

………

At this time, Zhao Zhen, who was hiding in the palace of Xijin Mansion, sneezed fiercely, put down the ratchet crossbow receiver in his hand and looked up at the sun, and sneezed out two more fiercely, which was more comfortable.

Zhao Zhen muttered to himself: "Who has nothing to say about me, could it be that Yu Yan and Cai Wei want to me?" Or is there something Ling'er wants to ask me for help? ”

Peng Qi can't look at it on the side, his body is bent like a shrimp and he is shaking, the official family really wants to come out of it, Ling'er Gong is mainly asking the official family for help, I am afraid that the black hand flying pigeon has already been ordered to pass the book, a few days ago, the mother forced the princess to wrap her little feet, the princess flew the pigeon to ask the official family for help, the official family really decreed, the women in the palace are not allowed to wrap their feet, otherwise they will be expelled from the palace, the expression of the official family at that time can be described as gritting teeth, Peng Qi is still a little afraid when he thinks about it now.

Secretly slandered herself, the princess is really a princess born and raised by an official family, but she is different from ordinary women, she is bold, and she doesn't even behave like the princess of the Great Song Dynasty at all...... But it's really cute, it's excellent to everyone, not arrogant or arrogant, like the little sister next door, even the palace guards and eunuchs like the princess tightly.

Zhao Zhen hid in the palace and had nothing to do, so he began to study his ratchet crossbow, after all, this thing is still the mainstream weapon of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also a large-scale equipment as a weapon for long-distance killing, the Great Song Dynasty has been improving the ratchet crossbow, adding shoulder straps, increasing the rocker arm of the ratchet, and now the use of the ratchet crossbow is very convenient, but Zhao Zhen also wants to increase its speed, such as the receiver for arrows......

Carefully embed a piece of elastic reed into the bottom of the receiver, and then use a tray of the length of the crossbow arrow to put on it, the rest is to load the crossbow arrows, the receiver of the Yuan Rong crossbow is on the crossbow arrows, pull the box to make the crossbow arrows wind and fire, and the crossbow arrows are endless, and the arrows are very simple to use grooves and gravity.

And Zhao Zhen put the receiver of the crossbow arrow under the crossbow arrow, used the reed and groove to supply the arrow, and then used the ratchet to wind, of course, this has to hollow out the crossbow body of the ratchet crossbow, leaving a position as long as the crossbow arrow.

Peng Qi looked at the ratchet crossbow in the hands of the official family that had been changed beyond recognition, and was silent, when Zhao Zhen inserted the receiver on the crossbow machine, all the crossbow arrows were ejected in an instant, and they were scattered everywhere, this is what the official family worked hard for three days...... Peng Qi's expression immediately became serious, and there was no wrinkle on his face.

Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly: "I also have things that I am not good at!" After speaking, he turned his head to Peng Qi and said viciously: "If today's matter is said, I will transfer you to Chongwenyuan Secretary Province as a straight character!" ”

Peng Qi's body trembled slightly, and then he showed a confused expression and said, "Qi Guan family, what's the matter?" ”
