The sky was already bright, the queen Tang Qi sat in the apse, and the four people in front of her were Tang Yuan, the temporary Flying Tiger general, Wang Tianpeng, the Tiger Ben general, Zhao Guangxun, the Tiger Prison Army, and Tang Chu'an, the secretary of the military department.

In the face of the grim situation, none of the four of them spoke, and Tang Qi was silent.

This kind of situation of not speaking has been going on for a while, but Tang Qi still refuses to break the meeting, it seems that there must be an answer to this meeting, even if this answer is not what everyone wants to see.

Zhao Guangxun looked left and right, stood up, bowed to Tang Qi behind the curtain, and said, "Your Royal Highness, since everyone is silent, Weichen is willing to throw bricks and lead the jade." ”

"Be bold."

"The minister thought that he should send someone to talk to Xiao Tianzhen first. Negotiations did not prevent him from encroaching on Hebei, but they could prevent them from continuing southward. At this time, the Liao State was not without worries, as long as they were willing to withdraw their troops, they would give them the north of the Yellow River. Secondly, we must place all our current soldiers along the Yellow River, Huaizhou, the northern gate of Gyeonggi Province, and Zhengzhou, the eastern gate, and we must not afford to lose them. Once Xiao Tianzhen refused to negotiate peace, the troops covered Niangniang's evacuation from Luoyang and westward to Chang'an. We waited to defend Gyeonggi Province, but we really couldn't hold on, so we retreated to Tongguan and continued to hold on. ”

For a long time, there was no sound in the house.

Tang Qi nodded and said, "Tang Yuan, what do you think?" ”

Tang Yuan thought to himself: "Zhao Guangxun's statement is actually the most decent way now. But Tang Qi didn't agree, but asked himself. So what exactly does she want to do? ”

With his understanding of Tang Qi, Tang Yuan thought that Tang Qi was unwilling to accept this method.

In fact, Tang Qi still has a very little girl's side in her heart - even if you rob me of something, I will grab you or beat you, and I can't let you take advantage of it. It's like a little boy playing with mud with a little girl, and the little boy naughtily pulls off the head of the clay figure pinched by the little girl, and the little girl must jump up and kick the little boy, and the little boy will run away, and she will chase after her for a while. Tang Qi would never be like an ordinary little girl, just sitting on the ground and crying aggrievedly.

"The minister thinks that Hebei can't give them all." Tang Yuan stood up and said.

"Go on." Tang Qi said immediately.

"Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army has not yet controlled the Yellow River, our army immediately crossed the river, did not defend the prefecture and county cities, only circled the enemy plains, and fought guerrilla in the mountains, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's army to return to the court." Tang Yuan said.

Although he couldn't see Tang Qi's whole body, he could see the outline behind the crystal curtain, Tang Qi was wearing the queen's dress, and nodded slightly: "Aiqing's words are very much in line with the meaning of the palace, I don't know what the other three Aiqing think?" ”

Tang Qi has already begun to set the tone.

In a meeting, as long as the leader sets the tone, the meeting will be easy to open, and everyone will know how to speak.

The room is full of people from the military circles, who are from war generals, and naturally have no problem arranging troops. Only Tang Chu'an, the secretary of the military department, hesitated slightly, but in the face of the queen and the three queens' generals, he held back what he had to say. In addition, Tang Yuan was still his benefactor, and he didn't want to tear his face with Tang Yuan.

Although this was the queen presiding over the meeting, this proposal was put forward by Tang Yuan.

In the end, Zhao Guangxun recommended Tang Yuan as the vanguard to lead the Flying Tiger Army to cross the river, and he and Wang Tianpeng led the Tiger Army to cross the river afterwards, forming a second echelon.

However, at this time, the Flying Tiger Army and the Tiger Ben Army had a total of only 30,000 people, the enemy vanguard was 100,000, and there were 100,000 scattered everywhere behind them, a total of 200,000.

The right law of the Liao State Iron Cavalry is not the army of the Southern Jin Dynasty, the combat power of 200,000 has beaten the male Jia people everywhere, if it is converted with the Southern Jin Dynasty army, it is no less than a million male soldiers.

Not to mention the Southern Jin Dynasty, even if he was the leader of the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, when fighting with the male Jia people, there was often a casualty ratio of three to one, or even four to one, and individual battles even had a tragic situation of nine to one and ten to one.

Tang Qi waved his sleeves and stood up, and said: "Now the composition of our army is very complicated, veterans, new soldiers, light remnants, and prisoners have become the main force, and the combat effectiveness of such troops can be imagined, so after you cross the river, you don't have to fight with them, just invade." The soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty are well paid, and the salary of my Daliang is less than one-tenth of that of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but you can use the land as a reward to reward the soldiers. They are far away from their homeland, and if they can have a piece of land of their own, it is also the foundation of their retirement. I believe that land is more than money that inspires them to keep fighting. I will give you half of the troops of Luoyang Baguan, Tang Yuan will lead 30,000 people, Wang Tianpeng will lead 30,000 people, and cross the river immediately! ”

The four of them left one after another, but Tang Qi asked the eunuch to call Tang Yuan and come back alone to talk to the queen.

Tang Qi said: "Your son is in good health, has a solid academic career, and is still practicing martial arts with the prince, and he is not as naughty as before." ”

Tang Yuan's heart softened, "Thanks to Her Royal Highness the Empress for taking care of you." ”

Tang Qi said: "Don't give up easily, you must stick to it until the emperor returns." But if you can't hold on, you don't have to worry about it, I will definitely bring your son to Chang'an with the prince and continue to accompany the prince to study. If you win, you are the benefactor of the country, and if you are defeated, you are also the loyal martyr of the country. Your son is eligible to stay in the East Palace. ”

Tang Yuan nodded, and suddenly raised his head and glanced at the curtain.

This kind of behavior of blindly glancing at nothing is very rude, the face of the eunuch next to the queen is no longer very good-looking, if you glance again, the celebrant will yell and scold.

"You want to ask about the orchid?"

"The minister didn't dare to inquire about the situation around the queen."

"You are fellow villagers and comrades-in-arms, so it doesn't matter if you ask. The last time there was a vicious battle in Datani Pass, Hu Orchid was heroic, he was seriously injured, and his shoulder blade was shattered by a blunt object, but fortunately, the treatment was timely, and it is estimated that he will not fall into the root of the disease, but he needs to rest for a long time before he can return to work. ”

"If Weichen is by the queen's side, he will fight to the death, and the minister will retire."

Tang Yuan dropped a word, turned around and left.

Tang Qi was stunned for a moment.

Not long after, the reverse tasted and fainted the queen.

Good manner, what loyalty do you show? Sounds sour! If this sentence reaches the ears of the emperor, it will inevitably become a big trouble, and if you don't get it, you will have to quarrel a few times, you pat your ass and leave, but the palace will become a miasma.

Tang Yuan returned to the army, and saw that the troops were rapidly assembling, it turned out that before he came back, the army had already received the Empress Kuaima Feishu, asking them to pass through Dagu Pass, and receive the garrison of Dagu Pass, and then to the east, receive the garrison of Revolving Gate Pass, gather 30,000 horses, and cross the river at full speed.

"Leave behind the heavy weapons and siege equipment, and don't want the baggage trucks, and stay in Henan."

Rapid march, on the evening of the same day, crossed the river with the stars.

As soon as I came to the boundary of Weizhou, I heard that Xiangzhou City had been lost.

There are five cities in Weizhou: Liyang, Weixian, Gongcheng, Xinxiang, and Jixian to guard, Qi Cheng asked which one to guard, and Tang Yuan said: "Don't guard any of them." ”
