Not everything in this world is right or wrong.

This is the reality that Xin Qiji, who came out of the teahouse, and experienced it firsthand.

Because of the poet's feelings, he always looks at a matter as right or wrong when judging something, but now, the reality in front of them makes the values of his world shattered in an instant.

It was Wang Huai, the left minister, who was bent on the Northern Expedition, and now he secretly began to obstruct them from continuing the Northern Expedition...... Or the left minister Wang Huai.

Xin Qiji shook his head a little dazedly, he couldn't figure out for a while, what Wang Huai wanted to do!

Although the situation of their Song army in Shandong is not very favorable now, the successive sieges and land grabs, and the victory over the Jin army is already the best record of the Great Song Dynasty against the Jin people in recent years, but why should the imperial court secretly drag down the grain and grass of the Huainan East Road army at this time? Like a jack of scales, it must be dragged behind the army of Huainan East Road, so that it cannot advance for half a minute!

Xin Qiji couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand what Wang Huai, who was in Lin'an, meant!

The overall situation, what is the overall situation, what is taking care of the overall situation, is there anything more important than recovering half of the country? Could it be that there is something more important than driving the Jin people out of the customs?

"Shall we ...... What do we do now? At this moment, he couldn't eat the cup, drew his sword and looked around in a daze, and looked at Ye Qing and asked.

"It's simple, enough rest. Wait for the Jin people to assemble in Jinan Mansion. Ye Qing patted Xin Qiji's shoulder comfortingly and said.

Xin Qiji is an angry and innocent person who is both civil and military, so when he knew that all this was Wang Huai's handiwork, the teacup fell from his hand to the ground, because this also made Ye Qing lose several dollars more than the shopkeeper of the tea shop, although the shopkeeper of the teashop was afraid to accept it.

"Take Tengzhou as ......?" Xin Qiji's heart at this time has been silently thinking about Li Bai's difficult road, in his opinion, Li Bai is just blocked in his career, compared with his obstruction for the righteousness of the court now, his road at this time is even more difficult than Li Bai.

"Tengzhou can't hold it, and I don't plan to defend it, the reason why I stay here is just to cover people's eyes." Ye Qing climbed the city tower and looked at the scenery outside the city where the autumn wind and autumn rain were about to rise, and gradually bleak.

Ye Qing rarely looked at Xin Qiji, who was gradually coming back from his daze, and slapped the city wall heavily and said: "Our every move is from the hands of Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun to Lin'an, so what we do next should not be known by the two of them, because if we continue to be known by the imperial court, although we do not have the weight of the twelve gold medals like Yue Fei, at least they will continue to interfere with it, and when the time comes, it will still catch us off guard, and even wipe us out." ”

"But how can we avoid them? Our every move ....... Xin Qiji's heart was filled with frustration and helplessness, and there was only grief and anger in his chest at the moment.

"So you have to go back to Xuzhou, and I will guard Tengzhou." Ye Qing's eyes were firm, and he looked at Xin Qijian and said: "The Tianchang Army has reached as many as 10,000 people all the way, and more importantly, in addition to our expansion, most of them are the main force of our Huainan East Road, not the children of the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty who have been incorporated all the way. Coupled with the Western Regions artillery and other weapons that can be attacked and defended, as long as you can hold Xuzhou City until the beginning of spring next year, even if we don't advance an inch of land, it is enough to be considered a victory. ”

"What about you? If you really want to fight a battle with the Jinren, you can't do it? Xin Qiji's emaciated face, because of the armor, looked more and more thin and angular at the moment.

"Feint to attack Pizhou and Jeju, secretly organize troops to find a place to fight, and wait for the Jin people to take the bait." Ye Qing was extremely honest, and he didn't reserve anything else about the current Xin Qiji, of course, except for the killing weapon of the Flower Planter Army, everything he could tell Xin Qiji had already been told to Xin Qiji.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xin Qiji, but that the Flower Planter Army is Ye Qing's killer weapon, and it is also the source of confidence for him to take the initiative to fight a battle with the Jin people.

Compared with the army of Huainan East Road, the army of flower planters who have been trained on the grassland for two years, the kung fu on horseback is definitely not under the heavy riding of Tiefutu and the light riding of abducted horses in the Jin country, not to mention that their equipment is much better than that of the Jin people.

"Then how will Li Zhixiao and others be placed? If they stay here, they will know your movements. Xin Qiji asked.

This question is already extremely subtle, and at this moment he also knows very well in his heart that with the envoys of the Jin State going to Lin'an, the position of their Huainan East Road army is almost in the hands of the Jin people.

Therefore, every next step, after the court knows, it means that the Jin envoys also know, and even more, it is very likely that other Jin people will also know.

"It's okay, keep them with me in Tengzhou, or ...... The main force to find the golden man is. Ye Qing's smile was a little murderous, but this made Xin Qiji feel a little relieved, as if he was saying in his heart that they should be allowed to disappear into the world because of the war.

On the contrary, most of the time is in the accumulation, after stepping on a footprint in a very short period of time, and then using the long-term accumulation to prepare for the next battle.

Ye Qing was very glad that there were many people under his command who could be used, and similarly, he was also glad that so far, Li Zhixiao and the others had not given him any moths behind his back.

Of course, this is also due to his own command of the Huainan East Road Fifth Route Army, and gradually as he goes north, his prestige in the Huainan East Road Fifth Route Army is becoming more and more popular in the hearts of the people, and the three characters of Ye Jiajun are becoming more and more possible because of the huge banner above the government office.

Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun looked at the banner waving in the wind, and their hearts were a little mixed for a while, not because they were unwilling to take credit and interfere in the affairs of the army, but in this small half a year, in addition to the powerful resistance in Xuzhou, the siege of other cities did not make the Huainan East Road army spend much effort.

This also made it difficult for them to stretch out their hands to arrange the troops and lead the troops to fight for a while.

What's more, the actions of the army under Ye Qing's command have never concealed them, which also makes them constrained everywhere when they want to make things difficult for Ye Qing, and they can't interfere arbitrarily.

Now seeing Zhou Duanchao's dissatisfaction, it is natural for the two of them to regard Zhou Duanchao as a life-saving straw, from Xuzhou to Tengzhou, but more than 100 miles away, a lot of grain and grass were dragged behind them along the way.

As a result, when Ye Qing reprimanded Zhou Duanchao, Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun were finally able to justifiably use gentle tactics to show their gentle and generous side in front of all the generals to exonerate Zhou Duanchao.

But they didn't know that the grain and grass they had discarded along the way had been picked up by a group of sheepskin jacket armies with more war horses than enough for one person to have two war horses, and of course, they didn't know that the grain and grass on the waterway were now ready to go, and after Ye Qing determined the place where he would fight with the Jin people, he would secretly transport it to the past.

Dong Chao's many years of life as a spy in the Jin Kingdom has made him already familiar with the terrain of the two roads in Shandong, but he is not able to have a battle with the Jin people under the terrain that Ye Qing wants the most, as Ye Qing wishes, and no one can be sure now.

Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun have now begun to work together to collect the people's grain in Tengzhou, although they have attracted Ye Qing's opposition, but in order to continue to win over and disrupt the other generals of the Huainan East Road army, they are still tired of it, and they began to lobby Zhou Duanchao to prepare for the tyrannical expropriation in Tengzhou.

Several large families on the list of three people, just like those big families in Xuzhou who were well-off in the local area and had heads and faces, are now living extremely uneasy, and they have been worried in their hearts, I don't know when, the Song people will suddenly break in and rob it, although they have also made preparations for this, and have placed grain, cloth, oil and salt, and even gold and silver in the courtyard for the Song people to take away.

Without waiting for Li Zhixiao, Hong Zun, and Zhou Duanchao to start collecting grain and grass in Tengzhou for the three of them, Ye Qing once again ordered Xin Qiji to lead the Tianchang army to withdraw to Xuzhou.

This made Li Zhixiao, Hong Zun, and Zhou Duanchao, the three people who were kept in the dark, confused for a while, and began to involuntarily guess in their hearts, is there something wrong with Xuzhou? Did Wanyan Zheng defect so quickly?

From the very beginning, Li Zhixiao and Hong Zun did not believe that Wanyan Zheng would return to Ye Qing, so they led the pro-army and light cavalry to rush all the way to Wanyan Shoudao in Jinan Mansion, and they also did not believe that Wanyan Zheng would rebel and surrender to the Song people.

Wanyan Yongji, the king of Wei Shao, shook his head and recounted to Wanyan Shoudao, Mou Yan, and Qishi Lie Zhining about what happened in Xuzhou some time ago, even including the Tengzhou guard Liu He who went out of the city to help, but was ambushed by Ye Qing.

"In this way, wouldn't Ye Qing have fifty or sixty thousand people in his hands to attack Xuzhou City at the beginning?" Wanyan Shoudao looked at Xuzhou City on the map, and no one knew how he suddenly judged that the Song army attacking Xuzhou reached 50,000 or 60,000 people.

"The area around Xuzhou and Tengzhou is now all owned by the Song people, and it is difficult for our spies to find out for a while, how many soldiers and horses Ye Qing has under his command now, whether it is mainly heavy steps or riding, we can't judge." Wan Yan Kuang said solemnly.

After listening to Yan Kuang's words, the old and strong Wan Yan Shoudao sneered disdainfully, and then said: "The Song army, even if there are more than 10,000 cavalry, what can it do?" Can you still fight with my big golden iron horseman? ”

Wanyan Kuang sighed a little helplessly, and then glanced at Wanyan Yongji, the smiling and silent Wei Shaowang, and continued: "What the adults said is very true, but ...... Tengzhou Liu He was ambushed and annihilated on the official road to Xuzhou, which already shows that the cavalry of the Song people today is more prosperous in the past, at least in this battle, they are obviously stronger than our Dajin Tengzhou defenders. ”

"The old man is deeply pleased to be so cautious and not to underestimate the enemy." Wanyan Shoudao did not look annoyed and angry because Wanyan Kuangna slightly refuted what he had just said, but stroked his white beard approvingly and continued: "The Song people have always stepped hard, because of the lack of war horses, all along, even if they can gain the upper hand on the battlefield, but my Dajin Iron Riding is as fast as the wind and comes and goes freely, so I have never been taken advantage of by the Song people. Now it was able to completely annihilate more than 7,000 reinforcements led by Liu Hesuo, or early the morning of the second day when the army broke through Xuzhou City. ”

"And what does the general mean?" King Wei Shao asked with a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth.

"King Wei Shao, are you the old man who took the school exam?" Wanyan Shoudao walked to the map, examined the map, and asked Wanyan Yongji with a smile.

"How dare you. Who doesn't know your military exploits when you followed your father to fight? Now that my father has sent you to Jinan Mansion to guard the town, in addition to the fact that the general is old and strong, one person is enough to defeat the Song army of 10,000 people, I am afraid that I also intend to let the general hone your muscles and bones, and teach us juniors how to deal with the Song people, right? "Wei Shao Wang Wanyan Yongji's compliments did not seem abrupt at all, on the contrary, it was still so natural on Wanyan Shoudao's body.

Wanyan Shoudao just smiled vaguely, and then looked at the city on the two roads in Shandong, silent.
