Chapter 183: Khan Detective Rides Through Jingdong

Li Quan glanced at Shi Tianze, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he never spoke.

As the main and deputy vanguard, Shi Tianze's relationship with him is not friendly, especially since entering Jingdong, the troops they led and Peng Yibin's loyal army have fought three times, and Peng Yibin's troops have broken up and fled, which makes Shi Tianze look down on the combat power of the loyal army, and ridiculed him several times in front of him that the loyal army is just "ants gather flies". Although he said the Loyal and Righteous Army, Li Quan knew that he was actually ridiculing himself, not only was he born in the Loyal and Righteous Army, but he was also defeated in the hands of the Loyal and Righteous Army.

If he thinks that it is wrong, now that Temujin Khan believes in him Shi Tianze, then let him touch a gray nose, and after his nose is blue and his face is swollen, he will come out to clean up the mess.

"The opponent is using a crossbow?"

After listening to the scout's explanation, Shi Tianze asked again. Since entering Jingdong, there have been many small-scale encounters between his unit and the Loyal Army, but this ambush made him instinctively smell the smell of danger.

"It's a crossbow, lurking in the grass, suddenly shooting out of the grass, and we can't guard against it."

In each team of scouts, in addition to Menghu as the main force, there will also be one or two Han soldiers sent by the historians, and the only fish that slipped through the net was the Han people.

"The loyal army has no battle discipline, even if it is an ambush, it can't do this......" Shi Tianze said to himself: "How far is it from Xuzhou?" ”

"Two hundred miles." Someone replied.

"Two hundred miles...... That should be the Liuqiu Army. They really couldn't bear it, and waved their troops north, and the Great Khan really expected the enemy to be like a god! ”

Zhao Youju never understood why Temujin would put Shi Mo Guangyan back, but Shi Tianze knew it clearly. Put back Shima Guangyan, firstly, Polu interceded for Shima Guangyan, and secondly, he wanted to use Shima Guangyan to provoke the Song army, especially the Liuqiu army, which had extremely strong combat power in Li Quan's mouth. As Li Quan said to him, Xuzhou is the dual gateway of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River, and if he captures Xuzhou, he can go straight to the heart of the remnants of the Jin State and avoid the danger of the Yellow River in Tongguan; To the south, you can sweep through Qinhuai and assault Jingxiang and seize the land north of the Song River. However, Xuzhou is a strong city, and it is on the bank of the Yellow River, if the Liuqiu army really has the combat power that Li Quan said, then the army attacking the city is a broken city, and its own losses are also heavy. However, if the army was provoked and lured to go out to the field, especially the northern field battle of Huanghuai, there was no danger of the strong river of the city, and even if there was that kind of artillery, Temujin was confident that he could defeat it.

Shi Tianze raised his eyes and glanced at Li Quan, and when he saw that Li Quan looked like he had nothing to do with himself, he "snorted": "Manager Li, what do you think?" ”

He knew that Li Quan wanted to see his own jokes, so he wanted to pull Li Quan up, so that something happened and Li Quan couldn't get out.

"Marshal Shi said it very well, and he said it very well." Li Quan said lightly.

The two snorted secretly in their hearts at the same time, both looking down on each other. Shi Tianze took refuge in Menghu for two generations, and when he regarded himself as a member of Menghu, he regarded Li Quan as a repeated southerner, and Li Quan felt that everyone was a slave of Menghu, and they were high and low with each other.

"Do not march rashly to avoid unexpected defeat." Although Shi Tianze despised the combat strength of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and did not believe in the combat strength of the Liuqiu Army that Li Quan said, he was cautious and did not immediately order the troops, but ordered the scouts to continue to investigate. Some of his men are elite scouts, and a small setback is nothing.

On April 5, the scouts came with the latest news, 5,000 Liuqiu troops and 10,000 Yuanzhong Righteous Army, a total of 15,000.

"This is my own death." Shi Tianze was overjoyed, he and Li had 20,000 people, mostly cavalry, and the other party had 15,000 soldiers, all of whom were foot soldiers, and they were only guarding a village, and there was no danger to be feared.

"It's better to be cautious." Li Quan said in the opposite tone: "Nanban uses its short attack to fight my strength, crossing the river and fighting in the field, and it is not his plan to know it?" ”

"Our army is dominated by cavalry, so we have a plan, what can I do?" Shi Tianze had never fought with the Liuqiu army, so he didn't care: "Try it first, if it is broken, then take advantage of the victory to pursue, if it is not victorious, with the speed of our cavalry, you can also return to the army." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Quan no longer insisted, although he still felt that the Liuqiu army was so facing the battle, there must be deception, but for a while, he couldn't think of any strategy for the Liuqiu army, that is, to use the cannon, but in the face of Menghu's absolute superiority in combat power, the cannon was just a trophy sent up.

Could it be that no one cares about the flow of results?

In Xia Village, although the temporarily reinforced wooden village appears to be well-fortified, Li Ye estimates that these wooden fences will be destroyed with just one impact. The outside is strong and the middle is dry, and it is also said.

Xia Village is close to Weishan Lake, after the Liuqiu army came, all the people here moved to Xuzhou, and built a wooden village against the water, and at the same time built three simple wharves by the lake. At this time, the peach blossom flood has passed, but the lake is still very high, so it is suitable for boats. Li Ye looked at the wooden box that was hurriedly getting off the boat, and showed a sly smile.

If Yu Zhu was here, he would be frightened to see him smile like this. In fact, there is no need for Yu Zhu to be here, almost all of the junior officers in the army are from elementary schools, and when they see him smiling, they look at each other.

"This can't be done, Li Yanluo is having a bad idea again, you should be careful, if he grabs the fork and sends it down, no one can save it." Wu Fang also saw Li Ye's smile, although he had never entered the primary school, but because of his rich combat experience and repeated military exploits, he is now also an official.

"Wu Xiejun, if you still nag about this, it's not possible, I'm afraid that it will be you who is the only one who will be hung up." An eighteen-year-old sergeant of Liuqiu chuckled under his breath.

"Shi Da Spoon, do you dare to make fun of this association?" Wu Fang feigned anger and said: "This can't be done, if this association army doesn't show some prestige......"

"Wu Fang!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Ye shouting behind him. His body stiffened, and all the sergeants laughed, he shook his head with a sigh of sorrow, and turned around with a sad face: "Wu Fang of the Association Military Academy is on duty!" ”

"You don't want to demoralize me there, be careful that I tie that thing to your thing." Li Ye yelled at Wu Fang.

"This can't be done!" Wu Fang took a breath of cold air and jumped up: "Li Shenling, I know that you and your wife are the honey oil blending, and you have to be the first to bed every night, everyone in Xuzhou knows that you are three times a night, and now you come here to start a war, that is Menghu defeated your Xingzi, don't sprinkle a belly of evil fire on me!" ”

"Damn it!"

Anyone who heard it burst into laughter, even the military discipline of Liuqiu could not be restrained, Li Ye was furious, picked up the stone and threw it at Wu Fang, but he avoided it with a smile.

The initial nervousness was gone, and the auxiliaries who disembarked from the ship laughed heartily, and they moved faster.

"This guy is a character, but his mouth is too stinky." Looking at Wu Fang, who beckoned the soldiers to help, Li Ye snorted. Although this guy has a sad face every time he is in battle, he has always had a way to relax the soldiers around him, which is a good co-ordinator.

"Counselor Li, you said Meng Huke would be fooled?" The young sergeant who had just been arguing with Wu Fang came over and asked.

"What's the matter, let's come out to meet the attack in a dignified manner, if you are Menghu, don't you try to fight?" Li Ye smiled and said: "Shi Dasco, let me tell you, you have to be careful in this battle, don't make any colander make people laugh, you are in the Wufang Association, if there is a colander, then you can nag you for a lifetime." ”

"Cut, Counselor Li, you underestimate me, since I was twelve years old, I have been fighting in the north and south with the loyal army, and at the age of fifteen, I will join the escort team, hum, out of the colander? Although I say that I call it a big stone spoon, the spoon is all for the enemy's armament! ”

Hearing his words, Li Ye shook his head with a smile, and was about to continue talking, when suddenly the bell rang above Diao Dou, Li Ye immediately put away his smile, held down his helmet, and ran over quickly.

All the soldiers who were busy also stopped, the low-level officers such as the Allied Army and the Deputy Army began to order their subordinates to gather, and the auxiliary soldiers all closed their mouths and delivered supplies without saying a word.

"Two o'clock in the northeast, enemy cavalry, five thousand in number!"

At the same time that Li Ye climbed up to Diao Dou, the lookout on Diao Dou was already reporting.

The Liuqiu Army's Diao Fight was built extremely high, because the Liuqiu Army had a clairvoyant mirror in their hands, and they could detect the enemy earlier than ordinary troops. After Li Ye climbed up, he snatched the clairvoyant mirror from his lookout hand and looked to the northeast, only to see that about ten miles away, the enemy army of the brigade was approaching.

"Five thousand...... Damn, our scouts are done. Li Ye cursed, judging from the other party's military flag and military strength, it was indeed about five thousand, and they were all cavalry. Approaching more than ten miles, the scouts on his side have not yet sent back the news, only proving that all the scouts he sent have been killed. In addition to the heartache, Li Ye also secretly felt that the scouts he sent were all superb horsemen, but in front of the Hu people, he couldn't even escape and deliver the message!

"Hmph, it's just that the riding skills are good, I want to see if these Hu people are still smart in front of the gadgets we are trying to prepare." He put down the clairvoyant, looked back at his men, and began to give orders.

At the same time, Lin'an, Yuyuan Lanting, Zhao and Ju and Cui sat opposite each other, each holding a clay pot, and when they occasionally lifted the lid of the pot, the deep fragrance inside was enough to refresh people's hearts.

"I didn't expect that Liuqiu would have such a good tea." Cui He muttered: "Your Majesty, there are still some good things hidden, take them out and let the ministers see them." ”

When he spoke, the tone of his voice did not seem to be facing the Ninety-Five Supreme. Zhao Youju smiled slightly, feeling that this old fox was cuter than Xuanxuan, Xue Jige, Hong Hong, Wei and Weng combined. He shook his head and said: "It's gone, I really didn't hide anything, it's just this tea, which was also begged to be offered to the Queen Mother, and I stole some of it privately, and now you have more than half of it, and I don't have as much left as you!" ”

"Your Majesty is coaxing the ministers again." Cui He smiled and said: "Asking for milk candy, the grandson of the minister is now sugarless and unhappy, all because His Majesty is overspoiled!" ”

"It's obvious that you're an old man who is making fun of Sun excessively!" Zhao Heju scolded with a smile: "Cui Qing, I can tell you, it's not good for children to eat too much sugar, and their teeth will decay, if you don't want your little grandson to cry toothache every day, you should give him less sugar." ”

"If you don't give it, you have to pull the minister's beard, and the minister is really helpless...... I heard that the Son of Heaven intends to set up a royal primary school, I wonder if I can let the old minister and the little grandson also come? Although Cui He said this, his face was full of love, showing that he loved his little grandson very much.

Hearing him say this, Zhao Youju raised his eyebrows: "Cui Qing, you are pushing the trouble to me, the grandson of political participation, how can you enter this primary school for orphans?" ”

It turned out that these days, more and more gold and silver were spent, although the rewards, military training, rivers, etc., have spent most of the 24 million guan that has not yet been fully received, but there are still a little too much, the Son of Heaven took out another million guan from the inner treasury, and the treasury took out 2 million guan, and opened up a land outside the southwest mountain of Lin'an City, preparing to build a royal primary school dedicated to sheltering orphans. Zhao and Ju told the courtiers that it was an imitation of the old story of Yulin orphans in the Han Dynasty, but the courtiers were not stupid, and they knew that this was actually imitating the Liuqiu Primary School. The courtiers have no opinion on running this primary school, this is benevolent government, and whoever opposes it is mad, but for what courses are taught in this primary school, the Ministry of Rites, the Guozijian, the Household Department, etc., are all fighting for chaos, and scholars of all factions want to stuff private goods into the primary school. In the end, Zhao and Ju had to set the curriculum with the authority of the Son of Heaven, the primary school system was three years, only literacy and arithmetic, and moral education and physical education were set up. Arithmetic is taught in a flow learning textbook with modern numbers and symbols for ease of use. Moral education is based on loyalty, patriotism, faith, filial piety, courage and pragmatism as the core, and the department compiles teaching materials and organizes activities. Originally, Zhao and Ju were named military science, which was an orphan of the Yulin in imitation of the Han Dynasty, so they naturally had to learn to fight in the ranks, but in the midst of the noise of the ministers, Zhao and Ju and Cui discussed with them, and decided to change it to "sports", that is, to exercise the body and cultivate talents.

Rao is like this, the Manchu Dynasty ministers regard this primary school as a monster, and it is almost endless, Zhao and Ju almost lost patience in the quarrel, and finally Cui came forward, saying that it was the Son of Heaven's private treasury that paid for it, and whoever opposed it would pay for the Son of Heaven. This made the ministers shut their mouths, Wei Liaoweng really didn't give the Son of Heaven a good look in the past few days.

"Lao Chen recently studied Yelu Jinqing's article uploaded in the weekly, and the "Wealth of Nations" really made Lao Chen's mouth open." Cui He took a sip of tea slowly, looking very pleasant: "Although the old minister doesn't think that "The Wealth of Nations" is right, at least it is more correct than Wang Jinggong's. Your Majesty is generous, with all due respect, the country crossed to the south, although it lost half of the country, but it also threw off the burden of redundant officials and redundant soldiers, but after a hundred years of peace, the country and the dynasty did not seek change, but I was afraid that there would be something unbearable. ”

He didn't look at Zhao Youju's eyes when he spoke, because of these time dealings, Cui Youju already knows this Son of Heaven very well, although the Son of Heaven is young, he is massive and magnificent, as long as his own words are reasonable, he will never be taboo.

"The country and the dynasty want to change, but the only way to save money is to cut redundant officials and reduce the army, who wants to be cut off their own family? If you can't throttle, you can only open source, Your Majesty wants to learn and seek, it's nothing more than open source, the princes of the court can't see Your Majesty's love and protection, and the ministers can't see it? It's just that the princes are secretive of their words, and the ministers are old-skinned and are not afraid of words. ”

"Cui Qing really knows me!" Zhao Youju's smile turned into a wry smile, waved his hand, and sighed: "Let's not talk about this matter first, I don't know...... What happened to Huai Beijing East. ”
