Ye Qing's marching speed and the disease of destroying the city and uprooting the village were completely beyond the expectations of the hot Gongji, of course he couldn't have imagined that the 25,000 people in Guguan, Dazhen Pass, and Anrong Pass combined couldn't stop Ye Qing who took the initiative to attack, let alone that 25,000 people would become corpses in one day and one night.

Similarly, Yu Yunwen would never have thought that Ye Qing would pass three levels in a row so easily, but in just one day, he annihilated 25,000 people in the Xia Kingdom, and he still had to continue to advance eastward without stopping.

For Yu Yunwen, now is not the time to consider his personal interests, with the officials sent by the imperial court, intentionally or unintentionally, hinted to him again that as long as he sent troops to help the imperial court stop Ye Qing and let him never return to Lin'an, then when the imperial court is willing to allow you to be prosperous, rich, powerful and famous, Yu Yunwen completely lost all confidence in the imperial court from that moment on.

He originally still had a glimmer of hope for the imperial court, hoping that the officials sent by the imperial court would stand in front of him and say with righteousness and awe: "No matter what means you Yu Yunwen used, how many people died in battle, no matter how many soldiers the Jin people sent and how many checkpoints the Xia people laid out, I just want Ye Qing to come back alive."

But what disappointed him was that the colleagues standing in front of him were obscenely hoping that Ye Qing could follow in the footsteps of Marshal Yue back then, instead of hoping that this hero, who fought against the Jin people and regained the northern land, would be able to return safely.

Yu Yunwen looked up to the sky and sighed for a long time, he had always had full expectations for the imperial court, but this time the imperial court completely shattered all his hopes, and also made Yu Yunwen, who was full of melancholy in his heart, hesitate, and had to make up his mind that no matter what, he would help Ye Qing return to Jingzhaofu Road.

Of course, he knew what it would mean if he decided to send troops to attack Guanshan in the hands of the Xia people, and he also knew very well that once Jingzhaofu Road did not listen to the imperial court and insisted on tackling the key problems, he and all the officials and people of Jingzhaofu Road would become judges in the eyes of the Song court.

Li Heng, Wu Ju, Lao Liu Tou, Zhao Qi'er, Po Li San, Li Zhongfang, and Tian Lin are all loyal to Ye Qing, and it is precisely because these people only have Ye Qing in their eyes, but there is no imperial court, that the imperial court is jealous of Ye Qing.

But Yu Yunwen knew that before this, these people had always thought that they were Ye Qing's subordinates, just like themselves, but they were also courtiers of the Song court, and everything they did was to protect the Song court from being attacked by the Jin people, and to be able to restore the glory of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Someone." Yu Yunwen sighed wistfully, looked at the two subordinates who walked in, looked at the side again, and looked at Zhao Yanbian who knew with a look of expectation, and said, "Take Lord Zhao down to rest, without my order, Lord Zhao is not allowed to see anyone, and no one is allowed to see Lord Zhao." ”

"Yu pacified the ......." Zhao Yanbian, who was sent by the imperial court, looked stunned: "Pacify the envoy, what do you mean?" You...... Do you dare to disobey the Holy Command? ”

"Whether or not to disobey the holy order, it's not you, Lord Zhao, who has the final say, and it's not me Yu Yunwen who has the final say." Yu Yunwen smiled, and then said: "When Lord Ye comes back from the Xia Kingdom, he will explain it clearly to the imperial court, all of this is just a misunderstanding." Lord Zhao can rest here with peace of mind, and when Lord Ye comes back, I will let you see Lord Ye as soon as possible, what's the matter...... You can tell him, I, Yu Yun, are a civil official, and I don't dare to call the shots alone in such a big matter. ”

After finishing speaking, he no longer gave Zhao Yanbian a chance to speak, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to pull Zhao Yanbian down and take care of him.

After sighing heavily, and finally making the final decision, Yu Yunwen found that at this moment, he did not feel guilty about sentencing Song as he did before making the decision, but now he felt that the whole person was relaxed all of a sudden, and he was extremely relaxed without worries and worries.

Yu Yunwen, who had a smile on his face, walked lightly and firmly to the meeting hall where Li Heng and others gathered, and saw that everyone was quietly looking at him in front of the sand table, Yu Yunwen smiled, rubbed his hands a little unaccustomedly, and said: "There is something I have to declare to you first, what is at stake, I also have to explain it to everyone first...... ”

"Lord Yu might as well just say it." Wu Juan left the edge of the sand table with one hand, frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Yu Yunwen's expression was still relaxed: "Zhao Yanbian, the servant of the Ministry sent by the imperial court, everyone has seen this person, I have already imprisoned him, and I plan to wait for Lord Ye to come back, and then let him negotiate with Lord Ye in person." ”

"Don't worry, everyone, listen to me first." Yu Yunwen looked at Li Heng and the others, and instantly showed surprised and excited expressions, hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and continued: "Everyone knows very well that Lord Ye is still in Xia Kingdom, and I am afraid it will be a little difficult for him to come back alone, so we have to pick him up." But I Yu Yunwen has to say the ugly words in front, once you plan to pick up Lord Ye, then you must know that in the eyes of Song Ting, we are ...... Judge the thief, everyone here including me Yu Yunwen obviously can't afford such a crime, although we know that we are wronged. Therefore, how the Song court defines whether we are loyal ministers or judges after sending troops, this matter must be handed over to Lord Ye to negotiate with the court. Do you understand what Yu means? ”

The Great Song Dynasty became the Song Dynasty in Yu Yunwen's mouth, and several people present could naturally hear it, and from this moment on, Yu Yunwen's position was already extremely clear, of course, they could also hear it, and they also realized the importance of attacking Xia next.

"Don't worry, Lord Yu, even if Li Heng dies, he will let Lord Ye return to Jingzhaofu Road safely, and then ask for justice for us in front of Song Ting." Li Heng was the first to say.

"What Lord Yu means is that if Ye Qing is alive, there is a high chance that we don't have to carry the hat of the judge, but if Ye Qing dies, we will also wait to be caught and killed. It's a big matter, so the big guys are clear, anyone can die, but Ye Qing can't die, if he dies, we'll be all finished. Old Liu Tou said lightly.

Originally, the discussion between the officials who were still solemn, but with the discussion of Ye Qing's life and death, and the discussion of how the imperial court should deal with them, the painting style of the entire meeting hall unconsciously changed into a feeling like a bandit in Yu Yunwen's eyes.

But it was in this kind of discussion like bandits and bandits that they still made a decisive decision on the spot, and they began to prepare the army today, and set off early tomorrow morning to go straight to Guanshan Longcheng.

Yu Yunwen's time is theoretically the right and best time, and according to Ye Qing's way of acting, after thinking hard about Guanshan Liudao all night, he always feels that he can set off early tomorrow morning, before he arrives in Longcheng, he can completely form with Ye Qing on Guanlong Road, and attack the things of Guanlong Road.

In this way, once Ye Qing breaks through the obstacles ahead, before reaching the Red Deer Pass, he can just fit his time and reach the Red Deer Pass at the same time, so as to put pressure on both the front and back of the Red Deer Pass.

As long as his side is launching an offensive against the red deer unabated, then Ye Qing inside will inevitably have relatively little pressure, and even if there are pursuers behind him, Yu Yunwen has always believed that even Ye Qing, who is weak in numbers, is enough to be able to hold one or two, at most three hours, the Xia people's fierce pursuit.

Knowing people and making good use of them, Yu Yunwen, as the commander of this time, sent a total of six people to save Ye Qing, Lao Liu Tou, Li Heng, Po Li San, Wu Juan and Zhao Qi'er to attack Malu Pass, after all, he knew very well in his heart that when it came to the urgency of saving Ye Qing, I am afraid that no one could compare, these subordinates who had been following him when Ye Qing was still the head of the forbidden army.

Tian Lin and Li Zhongfang are the two henchmen promoted by Ye Qing after serving as the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road, and when they recovered the five roads in the north, the two also showed amazing talents, but this time, they were also entrusted with important tasks by Yu Yunwen, they led a larger army, and they will once again fight with the Jin people and the Xia people, and the ultimate goal is to take down the entire Qin family source road.

Let Tian Lin and Li Zhongfang lead the army to take the Qinjiayuan Dao, which means that Yu Yunwen's side also has the same purpose, that is, according to Ye Qing's insatiable greed and retribution: people respect him for a foot, and he dares to return a zhang's virtue, he must strive to win the entire Guanshan.

Therefore, Yu Yunwen knows very well that no matter what the final result is this time, the two armies on Jingzhaofu Road will take the entire Guanshan, so as to strangle the throat of the Xia people entering and exiting militarily, instead of letting the Xia people choke their necks for things to enter and exit freely!

Ideals are always perfect, but reality is often cruel, and reality is slapping the old face of hot Gongji, and it is also slapping Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen's face.

Yu Yunwen guessed almost everything, especially when he reacted to Ye Qing's character, especially when recovering the five roads of the Northland, although the two fought separately, they still cultivated a tacit understanding that made others jaw-dropping, which made Yu Yunwen believe that even if he and Ye Qing were separated by hundreds of miles of mountains, he believed that Ye Qing must have planned it in his heart as he guessed.

Led the army to aid Ye Qing, and then took the entire Guanshan, after this battle, regained the military strategic terrain advantage, thus forming an overall advantage over the Xia State, so that it had to rely on Ye Qing's breath to survive.

Ye Qing's words made Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm and Jia Shi stunned, originally thought that it was just a simple bloody battle and fled all the way east, and then as long as they could return to Jingzhaofu Road, even if it was a great victory in the escape war, they didn't expect that at this moment, they would be defined as an invasion war by Ye Qing!

"Your Excellency...... You...... You didn't say that before....... Mo Xiaobao looked at Ye Qing's dirty hands, and stammered after drawing on the ground.

Ye Qing showed a mouthful of white teeth and smiled, and said casually: "We have always been at a disadvantage, and the morale of the army will not be too high, but it is only because you are a flower planter that we can get to where we are today." But have you ever thought about it, if I had told you from the beginning, would you have believed it? ”

Ye Qing looked at Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and the three of them, including Jia She, shook their heads together and said, "If you don't believe it, it's just wishful thinking." ”

"Yes, even you won't believe it, so how can you expect your soldiers to believe that this is not a fantasy and a whimsy? Therefore, if I say it from the beginning, not only will it not improve and stabilize the morale of our military, but it will cause our morale to be scattered and demoralized. It is even very likely that we will not be able to reach the current situation. For the generals to have a long-term vision, the strategy must be very high, but you can't expect your soldiers to be able to see so far as you do. At first, the army of the flower family only wanted to fight to the death, killing one was enough, killing two was even earning, we put it to death, we didn't have to think too much, as long as there was no concern to kill the enemy with a mortal heart. ”

Looking at the three blood-stained "Pure Little Whites" in front of him, Ye Qing sighed slightly, and continued: "But now it's different, what will greet us next will be a real fierce battle, a tragic battle that will kill many people, and even wipe out the entire army." Hot Gongji will also soon appear behind us, in front of us is Lao Yeling and the heavily armed Red Deer Pass, and the soldiers of our Flower Planter Army have slaughtered nearly 25,000 Xia people so far, this result is already completely earned for all the soldiers of the Flower Planter Army at this time, even if it is worth dying. Therefore, as the commander-in-chief, I need to let the soldiers of the Flower Planter Army know that after we slaughtered nearly 25,000 Xia people, the war will also usher in a turn for the worse in the worst case. What's more, the morale of our army, with the slaughter of so many Xia people, now is the highest time, at this time we can only give them another goal, so that when we are faced with the dilemma of life and death between the front and back, we will have the morale to continue to fight, instead of facing the seemingly hopeless war, and choose to be satisfied at the moment is the psychology that death is worth it. ”

Mo Xiabao, Zhong Silkworm and Jia She, nodded silently, in fact, they also knew very well in their hearts that the blocking fortifications set up by Mo Xiaobao in the Great Earthquake Guan would not pose much of a threat to the Xia people, even if they could hinder the Xia army from continuing to advance, it would only delay for half a day at most.

The Red Deer Pass in front of them, if they still imagined that it was like before, it was completely impossible, as they turned over the Fu Khan Ping and entered the range of Lao Ye Ling, they could clearly feel that the scouts of the Xia people had been wandering in the distance, monitoring their every move.

Even Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm knew that they were now completely in a desperate situation.

With no door to heaven and no way to go to the ground, plus the remaining 4,000 soldiers, they have now begun to be satisfied and roar loudly: "Lao Tzu is worth dying", Mo Xiaobao and others really dare not imagine that once a large number of Xia soldiers appear behind them, will the military hearts of the soldiers of the Flower Planter Army become a desperate battle for the sake of death without desire.

Ye Qing chose to say his plan at this time, in addition to hoping to suppress the high but fragile morale of the Flower Planter Army after slaughtering 25,000 Xia people and nearly 1,000 casualties, he hoped to take this opportunity to make the morale of the Flower Planter Army calm down and turn it into a real iron-blooded army that is invincible and resolute.

He also believes that Yu Yunwen, who is on Jingzhaofu Road at Malu Pass and Longcheng at this moment, will definitely not sit idly by, so he is also predicting when Yu Yunwen will arrive in Longcheng and how much time it will take to capture Longcheng, and then go straight to Malu Pass to put pressure on the Xia people and capture Malu Pass.

As a result, whether it is him or Yu Yunwen, they forget that the situation on the battlefield is always ever-changing, and it will catch people off guard.

Just when he was still doing his last rest near Lao Yeling, Yu Yunwen decided to send troops to Longcheng on the second day.

So this is the reality, when he slapped the face of Hot Gongji's seemingly seamless plan, it also made Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen's "accurate" prediction of each other a full day apart.

It also means that Ye Qing will lead the army of the Flower Planter with only about 4,000 people left, and after fighting with the Xia people in Maluguan for a whole day, it is possible to wait for Yu Yunwen to come to Maluguan for reinforcements.

It is even possible that when Ye Qing is fighting with the Xia people in Malu Pass, there will suddenly be a fierce Xia revenge army led by the hot Gongji behind him, and it is also possible that the Jin people on the Qinjiayuan Road will rush over from Changning Station and give Ye Qing a fatal blow from the flank.

In short, the difference of a whole day allowed Ye Qing to give up all the initiative that he had snatched before, and let him hand it over again.

But fortunately, as long as Yu Yunwen arrives, he will face a red deer pass that is extremely empty after being attracted by Ye Qing and the army of the flower planter.
