In the mansion of the lord of the city, Zhao Qingxuan and Pang Yu sat in a dangerous position, looking quite serious, but it was a pity that the two of them were full of wine and fat powder, as well as the lip print on Pang Yu's old face that looked quite fragrant, betrayed the two of them.

Opposite the two, Chen Xi's face sank like water, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and for a while, there was only the sound of "knock, knock, knock" in the city lord's mansion.

"I don't know what the king and the prime minister have gained from this 'micro-service private visit'?"

As soon as he thought of the scene he saw when he entered the Linyin Tower, the emotions in Chen Xi's heart couldn't be calmed for a long time.

"I've benefited a lot, I've benefited a lot, General." Zhao Qingxuan raised his head slightly, his eyes were far-reaching, "If I hadn't been to the Linyin Tower, I am afraid that I would not have known that there is such a 'turbulent' woman in the world in this life." ”

Pang Yu pursed his lips: "Hurry up and wipe your harass, look at your virtue, isn't it just a girl with a better figure, this will confuse you." ”

"I don't know who wants to talk to that little girl all night, and now I'm going to talk to a lonely gentleman."

"Do you dare to say that old man, it's not time to cast the whip spell?"

Seeing that the two began to expose each other, Chen Xi patted his forehead helplessly and gave up his plan to preach.

Da Song, there is no help.

After a while, perhaps a little tired, Zhao Qingxuan and Pang Yu stopped arguing. Pang Yu, as usual, put his hands in his sleeves, sat on the chair and closed his eyes, while Zhao Qingxuan took the tea and moistened his throat, seeing Chen Xi's disheartened face, he was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile:

“… General, it's so late, what's the important thing to find me and Pang Gong? ”

Chen Xi sighed, barely cheered up, and said to Zhao Qingxuan: "Your Majesty, although our army has conquered and conquered Yuyu today, it should not stop here. The current chaos in the Qi country is a good time to restore the former glory of the Great Song Dynasty. The minister asked the king's brigadier to lead the army to continue south, smash Huanglong, and conquer Qidu Tianlan! ”

Chen Xi's words frightened Zhao Qingxuan, and he jumped up from his chair: "What is it?" General, you want to go south to fight Tianlan? ”

Seeing Zhao Qingxuan get up, Chen Xi also stood up from his seat and arched his hand at Zhao Qingxuan: "Exactly." ”

"General..."Zhao Qingxuan hesitated for a long time and said: "Although Lone doesn't know how to soldier, he also knows the meaning of 'the end of the strong crossbow'. Although our army won two great victories in succession at Yumen Pass and Dump Yu, the soldiers were exhausted after a long battle.

And that day Lan is the 'first city in the world', the city is high and deep, and it is impregnable, how can it be broken with only the 50,000 armor soldiers now? What's more, before attacking Tianlan again, there is still a Tianwei Pass, how can the soldiers hold on? ”

Qidu Tianlan City, there is a checkpoint in the north and south, Tianwei in the north, Tianxiong in the south, and two Xiongguan guards the main road into Tianlan.

Now, if the Song army wants to attack Tianlan in the south, then it must first conquer the Tianwei Pass in the north of Tianlan.

"After all, the State of Qi sits on the land of seven states, and the soldiers are full of food. Although our army killed and injured 70,000 or 80,000 Qi troops in the two major battles, it was far from the extent that it broke the Qi country. Once the offensive was frustrated, Qi State counterattacked, and the consequences were unimaginable. ”

Listening to Zhao Qingxuan's words, Chen Xi was a little stunned for a while. He frowned, looked at Zhao Qingxuan for a long time, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, you... You okay? ”

His own unlearned and unskilled king can see so far?

Could it be that the yin qi of Linyinlou is too heavy, and the king provokes something unclean inside, and he is evil.

Looking at Chen Xi's suspicious gaze, Zhao Qingxuan laughed, "What's the matter, I'm scared General, I heard these words from my brother-in-law, although I don't understand what it means, but it sounds powerful, so I simply wrote it down and thought about bluffing the General." ”

It turned out to be what Guo Yu said.

Chen Xi nodded, if Guo Yu said it, then it would not be strange.

When he first saw Guo Yu, he listened to the kid's eloquent conversation, and felt that he was not a thing in the pool, and he would become a big weapon in the future. And Guo Yu's performance in the battle of Fortune confirmed his thoughts even more.

Chen Xi thought that as long as time passed, and then carved, it was not impossible for Guo Yu and Zhao Qingquan to take over the banner together in the future and become the pillar of the Great Song Army.

In this way, even if the older generation of them retires from the Kyushu stage, with successors like Zhao Qingquan and Guo Yu, the Great Song Dynasty will not go anywhere.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi's mood was much better, and he said slowly: "As the king said, the Qi country is far from the level of breaking the muscles and bones, once the war is blocked, when the Qi country eases up, the general trend will be gone."

However, a month ago, there was a rebellion in the two southern states of Qi, and the elite troops in Tianlan City were all transferred to quell the rebellion. ”

"Although our army is tired, the Qi army is not much better, and it is still a newly defeated division, and its morale is low, so it cannot be the opponent of our army."

Zhao Qingxuan was silent for a long time and said, "... However, after all, it was a bit risky. ”

Chen Xi nodded: "Yes, there are still 100,000 troops in the northwest states of Qi State, although they are currently dragged by light power, and they have no time to take care of Xiangzhou, but they may break through the defense line of light power at any time, if they take advantage of our army to attack Dump Yu when they go south, then our army's rear road will be cut off, and 50,000 troops will die without a place to be buried;

In the southwest, Yang Zhiyong and his 100,000 elites are confronting Yongguo, if Yang Zhiyong gives up attacking Yongguo and returns in time to help, our army may be difficult to resist the enemy;

I don't know when the civil strife of the barbarians in northern Xinjiang will end, once the barbarians invade the south, the Zhenbei army will be transferred a lot for this expedition, and it may not be able to stop the barbarians. At this time, going south, as the king said, is really risky. ”

"But..."Just as Zhao Qingxuan frowned, Chen Xi said in a loud voice: "The Great Song Dynasty has waited for twenty years to wait for such a good opportunity. If you don't seize this opportunity, the Great Song Dynasty may never go south again.

Twenty years ago, because of the traitor Lu Zhao, with the general, 100,000 Great Song Erlang died in another country, and the Great Song Dynasty, who would have unified Kyushu, survived in Yanzhou and did not dare to take the next step south... This hatred has not been forgotten by the ministers, the Great Song Jiashi has not been forgotten, and the two million Song people have not forgotten! ”

Zhao Qingxuan stood with his armrest, his back to Chen Xi, raised his head and sighed: "Lonely... How dare you forget. ”

"Your Majesty!"

Chen Xi knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice at Zhao Qingxuan's back: "Please allow the king to allow the ministers to lead the troops south, pull out the heavenly guards, break the heavens, and destroy the evil!" ”

"General, you know..."Zhao Qingxuan turned his head with a rare look of seriousness in his eyes: "It's not twenty years ago now, once there is a slight mistake in going south this time, not only these 50,000 armor soldiers, but the entire Great Song Dynasty will be wiped out... Can you really bear this burden? ”

"Yes." Chen Xi's eyes showed perseverance, "Twenty years ago, I was able to." ”

"That being the case, what else is there to say." Zhao Qingxuan shook his head, turned around and said, "It's time for the world to listen to the sound of the hooves of my Great Song Tieqi." ”

"Thank you, the king!"

Hearing Zhao Qingxuan's words, the elegant-looking general burst into tears and fell to the ground heavily.

Zhao Qingxuan leaned over to help Chen Xi up, and said with a smile: "It's not early, the general has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders right now, so he should pay more attention to his body and go to rest quickly." ”

After Chen Xi left, Zhao Qingxuan walked to the door, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and asked softly, "Can it be done?" ”

"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." Pang Yu, who originally closed his eyes and recuperated, came to Zhao Qingxuan's side at some point, and also looked up at the sky: "But as the general said, the opportunity is rare, once you miss it, don't say that Qi will be destroyed, and the Great Song Dynasty will never go south again." ”

"So... After all, does it still depend on the will of God? Zhao Qingxuan muttered.

Providence is the most disgusting thing.

"Not really." Pang Yu shook his head, "It's just that our army can conquer Tianlan before Yang Zhiyong returns... No, as long as the Tianwei Pass can be conquered, the destruction of Qi is a foregone conclusion. ”

Pang Yu narrowed his eyes, hoping that the old fox in Tianlan City would let his guard down because he had been comfortable for too long.

……

Yongguo, Shuzhou.

Yang Zhiyong, the heroic general of the Qi State, after reading the letter sent from Tianlan, looked at the towering Yudu city wall in front of him unwillingly, and immediately raised his arm and said in a loud voice:

"The three armies obey the order and withdraw the troops!"

Yang Zhiyong is the most rigorous in governing the army, and it is really different from Che Tian, who is also in the Qi country. With his order, the 100,000-strong army immediately moved.

At the head of Yudu City, a young scribe who looked very thin and had an extraordinarily pale face shook his head at the scene outside the city, with a look of regret on his face:

"It's a pity, if Yang Zhiyong withdraws two days later, cough... cough, these 100,000 Qi troops don't have to go. ”
