Chapter 267 Dashi faces the enemy and does not fight

Prior to this, Li Yunrui and Huo Chongcheng have spread out the spy network in the past few years to pass back all kinds of information about Jin Guo and Meng Yuan, there are changes in the other party's borders, and there are various changes within the other party, these news will be gathered together, Huo Chongcheng, Li Yunrui and a small team of staff led by them analyze this, and then select their important ones to report to Zhao and Ju, Zhao and Ju after screening and then report to the three Zaifu and the Ministry of War.

From the news obtained by Zhao and Ju, it was known that Menghu would use troops in winter, and at first Zhao and Ju and the military department believed that Menghu must have made every effort to defeat the loyal army, and then went south to cross the river by taking advantage of the freezing Yellow River and the fact that the Guards could not enter the inland river to participate in the war.

The tactics of the Military Counselor's Office of the Ministry of War simulated Meng Yuan and Jin Guo was that Jin Guo took the lead in launching an attack on Xuzhou or Jinghu, and after successfully implicating the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, Meng Yuan raided Jingdong Road, defeated the relatively weak Zhongyi Army in one fell swoop, attacked the back of Xuzhou, and attacked Xuzhou with Jin State. Or the order of the two is reversed, Menghu first attacked the loyal army, and then the Jin State raided Xuzhou. The countermeasures formulated by the Great Song Dynasty were also formulated in response to the worst situation in this situation.

However, in the urgent message from the "Red Thunder" received today, the main force of Meng Yuan did not gather in Yanyun, but went to Hebei West Road.

This also means that it is impossible for Meng Yuan to use the Daimyo's Mansion as a breakthrough, and he will no longer take the old road of Temujin's last southward journey, but open up another offensive line.

The defensive line that Zhao and Ju had placed in the area of the Daimyo, and the troops that were quietly concentrated there, were tantamount to being released in vain.

Before the battle began, he was made a move by the opponent, which made Zhao Youju very depressed. But now is not the time to be depressed, his eyes are also turning around Xuzhou and Jingxiang: if he is a tow mine and a complete face guard, which one will he choose as the breakthrough point?

"Please Cui He, Ge Hong, Xue Ji, and Zhao Shanxiang to come...... No, go to the Military Counsellor's Office of the Ministry of War, let them go there. Zhao Youju ordered.

Zhou Shuniang answered yes, but before she could take a step, Zhao Heju waved her hand: "You slow, let Yun Rui go." ”

Li Yunrui immediately stepped out, his steps were very big, although he couldn't run easily in the palace, his speed was faster than Zhou Shuniang's. Zhao and Ju followed behind, Zhou Shuniang raised her eyes, and saw that the sergeant who was trusted by the Son of Heaven and him hurriedly broke the news outside the door, and when she trotted two steps to the door of the palace, she found that they had already left the courtyard.

"Why is the Son of Heaven so impatient?" Zhou Shuniang looked at the empty courtyard with some surprise, she didn't know what to say about this emperor, on the one hand, his pursuit of profit was more urgent than any profiteer, on the other hand, only a small part of the money he earned was used for his own pleasure, and most of it was used in places that surprised Zhou Shuniang: the education of orphans, medicine for the poor, and even building bridges and roads, printing books for the ancients......

He was a lazy man, and he had to rest on the sixth and seventh days of every week, unless there was something particularly important, but he was diligent in government affairs, and it was common for him to read official documents until 10:11 p.m. on weekdays. He is playful and active, he can't stay idle in the palace, and he always makes some tricks to make the palace maids move, but he is mature and steady, and he rarely has a rigid and stubborn time when dealing with political affairs.

Although she has read many books after entering the palace, until now, Zhou Shuniang still can't understand the Son of Heaven she serves.

When Zhao Heju arrived at the Military Counselor's Office of the Ministry of War, he found that Zhao Shanxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was already there. Li Ye also stood aside, although he had great achievements, but he was only a junior here, so he laughed a lot, but he didn't talk much.

When Zhao and Ju came in, all the generals were stunned, but immediately stood up and saluted.

"Zhao Qing, it's lively here, why is this so?" Zhao Youju asked with a smile.

Zhao Shanxiang's face was uncertain, he pointed to Xuzhou and Jing Xiang: "Li Ye, Meng Hui, Hu Shida and others came up with a new Menghu tactic, and the minister thought it was very likely, so he summoned the people in the army to discuss it in the future." ”

Zhao and Ju heard these three names, like Li Ye looked at him, Li Ye lowered his head, not daring to look at him. Zhao Heju snorted, knowing that this was Li Ye's little trick, and he didn't bother with him, but just came to the map: "Zhao Qing and I will talk about it, what new tactics are there?" ”

"Menghu and Jin Guobing are united, and they will storm Xuzhou or Jingxiang." Zhao Shanxiang picked up a stick and pointed at these two places: "Menghu crossed the Yellow River from the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and then relied on the advantage of more horses and faster speeds to quickly move to the border of our Great Song Dynasty, if it is ......"

"Wait a minute." Zhao Youju waved his hand, stared at the map, and then looked at the few young people who were huddled in the corner of this office: "Calculate how many days it will take for Menghu to cross the river from here on November 15......"

His eyes flashed, and then he pointed to a place on the map: "Qinglong Castle? ”

"Xuzhou?" Zhao Shanxiang took a breath of cold air, he knew that Zhao and Ju had a secret intelligence system, and since Zhao and Ju said that it was Qinglong Castle, there must be some traces of spiders.

"I think about it, this person has lofty ambitions, after the death of Temujin, although he and his brothers are separated, I am afraid that he still wants to unify the Menghu tribes, how can he be powerful among the Menghu tribes? In addition to retrieving Temujin's corpse, the best thing is to win a battle in Xuzhou, where Temujin had suffered defeat. Seeing that the young people began to calculate quickly with their calculation chips, Zhao Heju calmly said to Zhao Shanxiang: "Besides, although we can confuse Menghu and Jin Guo for a while, how can we hide it for a long time?" Especially in Xuzhou, the Jin people and Menghu didn't know that I had hoarded a lot of materials, ordnance, and food here, and they also knew that Xuzhou had been richer than usual in recent years, and if they captured Xuzhou, they could support them to continue fighting. Moreover, the weather is very cold this year, the Yangtze River has not been frozen, but the north of the Huai River is all frozen, and the Great Song Sailor can support and respond at any time when ...... fight Xuzhou."

These are all things he thought of on the way here just now, Zhao Shanxiang nodded frequently after listening, Zhao Heju hadn't finished counting, and a few young people over there shouted: "Your Majesty, five days, it will not affect the battle, but it can maintain high speed, and it must be five days to arrive!" ”

"Five days ......" Zhao Heju closed his eyes, November 15 to today, exactly the fifth day.

"Then, at this time, there should be a war outside Qinglong Fort, Qin Dashi according to the original plan, once the war starts, hold on to Qinglong Fort for three days, wait for the people and residents to withdraw, and then return to Xuzhou, with the help of Xuzhou's fortified city and materials to hold, consume the sharp energy of the Jin State, and wait for Menghu's actions before making the next decision." Zhao Youju thought in his heart: "It's just that this time Menghu and Jin Guo joined forces to attack Xuzhou...... Will he be able to react? ”

He was very annoyed in his heart, he should not give up the initiative to attack in order to gain the name of righteousness, if he tried to damage his popularity in the Great Song Dynasty, and fought against the resistance of some people in the Jin Kingdom, and launched an attack before the Jin Kingdom, maybe he would not have to take such a risk. Although he was convinced that he would definitely win, this time, he was afraid that the price would be not small.

It seems to be a kind ...... It's not necessarily a strength.

Zhao Youju's chagrin couldn't change anything, when those young counselors of the Military Counselor's Office calculated the speed of Menghu's progress, Qin Dashi's clairvoyant vision finally saw the people of the Jin Kingdom.

There were at least tens of thousands of Jin people on the horizon, and they didn't make a sound, and slowly moved towards the side wall, which was quickly pushed down by them, and then they gathered again, and the whole team, with a desperate momentum, pressed towards Qinglong Castle.

Qin Dashi took a breath, these Jin people had no cavalry, not even a single horseman, nor equipment, only rudimentary weapons in their hands, and even hoes and firewood knives. Perhaps a few days ago, they were still ordinary people, struggling to make a living, but now, like a group of walking corpses, they came to the territory of the Song Kingdom, waiting for the irresistible fate of death.

The clairvoyant mirror moved behind the Jin people, and then Qin Dashi finally saw the regular troops of the Jin country. In the battle with Menghu, the most elite Flower Hat Army of the Jin Kingdom had long since been destroyed, and now this army, which seems to have high morale and is not in a hurry to advance, seems to be most of its members are experienced veterans. They kept their distance from the people in front of them, and they were flanked by horses to protect their wings, so that they did not have to worry about the people fleeing and scattering, nor did they have to fear the other side attacking their array.

"Drive out the people of your own country as the precursor, and the gold lord and his generals are crazy?" Beside Qin Dashi, someone shouted in surprise.

Qin Dashi shook his head, he felt that something was wrong.

The soldiers were too fearless, and the people who were driven in front were too cooperative, as if they were sure of victory.

The clouds in the sky were slowly approaching, but the wind seemed to stop, Qin Dashi looked back at Qinglong Fort, and at the first time he saw the golden soldiers, he ordered to use the flag to inform Qinglong Fort to be on guard, and now the city wall has been prepared: the artillery pushed the artillery onto the battery, and the ammunition was placed in the stone chamber that could stop the intrusion of rockets; The heavy crossbow at the head of the city has been wound, the drawbridge at the gate has been twisted, and the asphalt extracted from the coal mine has been prepared to be poured into the moat; The archer put a wrench on his finger, and the arrow was on the string; The shield bearer places the shield in front of him and can form a shield wall at any time.

This is the Great Song Guard, and Zhao Heju, the beloved teacher and lord of Qin Dashi, once said that this is the best army in the world in this era.

Whether it is the veterans who have gone through the last Taizhuang War, or the recruits who have been added in the past two years, they are all calm and calm, their eyes are firm, and they are full of confidence. There is already a powerful soul in them, which is the soul of the warriors who died in the bloody battle of Taizhuang, which has been passed down by their ancestors.

Perseverance and fearlessness are like the land that gave birth to them.

Three miles away from Qinglong Fort, the Jin people pressed down on their positions, and they stood silently, as if waiting for orders.

Today's Jin Ren's actions made Qin Dashi feel weird, he thought about it, and waved his hand with the same expression.

The gunner of an artillery gun soon received an order to test fire a shot, which at such a long distance would of course not be missed, but it did not require him to have any accuracy, just to scare the golden people.

The sound of the cannon "boom" was like a thunderclap on the ground. The front army of the Jin people trembled with this voice, obviously panicked for a while, but the rear army did not move at all, just restrained the front army and did not let it run around, but did not form a team.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Dashi thought sullenly.

"Leader, let me go out and rush, look at this front army, as long as I rush it, it will be chaotic, and after the chaos, I will bring the rear army to chaos." Luo Anqiong pursed his lips, he was very disdainful of Jin Ren's performance, so he asked Qin Dashi for battle.

This was also the purpose of Qin Dashi's test of artillery, he initially suspected that the chaotic appearance of the Jin soldiers who took the lead was camouflaged, and the purpose was to lure him out of the city, at least to lure the cavalry in his hands out of the city. But the sound of the cannon proved that the Jin soldiers who took the lead were really the people who had only been captured these days, and they could barely run away without scattering, and they didn't need to make too much effort at all, and even as long as the cavalry approached, they would turn around and run away, and then rush the Jin people's own formation. However, although he believed that there would be such a result, Qin Dashi still thought carefully about his choice.

He is not Li Ye, if it is Li Ye, he may take a gamble at this time, because if the cavalry is sent out, even if there is any ambush, it can be withdrawn, and it is not a big loss for the Song army in Qinglong Castle to withdraw if he can't get back. Qin Dashi has always been known for his calmness, and when Zhao Heju was forbearant in Lin'an, he lurked in Lin'an to prepare to respond, rather than making the rest of the people take a fancy to his calmness. Even if he didn't make a big achievement, he would never make a big mistake, and this kind of moderation, coupled with the strong national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, was a nightmare for the Jin State - because even if he wanted to use tactical victory to redeem the strategic disadvantage, Qin Dashi would not give them this opportunity. This is also the reason why Zhao and Ju used Li Ye when attacking Xuzhou, and Qin Dashi was used after Taizhuang.

"No fighting." Qin Dashi thought about it for a long time, knowing that he knew that the other side could not be defeated in a hundred battles, and the current situation was that he knew himself and did not know the other, since this was the case, of course, he should give full play to his strengths, and do not try to attack the enemy's shortcomings.

Luo Anqiong pouted, but he didn't dare to complain, he was just a cavalry assistant leader, two levels away from Qin Dashi in rank, according to the discipline of the Guards, he must unconditionally obey Qin Dashi's orders.

After waiting for a long time, and not waiting for the reaction of the Song army, the Jin people lost their patience first. A small group of men and horses came from the rear army, and they arrived at the front army, and then pointed out hundreds of people, and these hundreds of people moved forward together, and settled about a mile away from Qinglong Fort.

The Song troops on the walls of Qinglong Fort all stared at this golden soldier and roughly guessed their intentions.

"Song Jun on the other side, listen, your main general, Qin Dashi, is just a milky child, timid and afraid, relying on the cronies of your dog emperor to come to Xuzhou to be powerful!" One of the men in the group shouted, and with each shout, hundreds of people behind him shouted in unison, and although the voice was not even neat, it was enough to be heard by both armies. Hearing him scold Qin Dashi, the Song army became angry, in the past few years, Qin Dashi undressed and pushed food and food, and treated these guards like brothers, he was calm and moderate, so the whole army did not dare to be contemptuous, and even admired. When they heard them scolding the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, some people in the guards began to make noise, these are all begged for by Liu, naturally they know that without Zhao and Ju, there would be no them and their families today, how can they sit back and watch Zhao and Ju be humiliated and ignore it!

"Qin Shenling, I'll go and block that golden captive's mouth, and keep it so that he is only afraid that his parents will give birth to a mouth for him!" Luo Anqiong asked for battle again.

Qin Dashi's face was still calm, he remembered Zhao Heju's faint expression and tone when he was in Yuzhang Villa, and he unconsciously learned: "No fight." ”

These two words made Luo Anqiong stunned, and after a long pause, he asked, "Why don't you fight?" ”

"If the enemy wants you to fight, you will fight, then he wants you to eat, do you go and eat?" Qin Dashi's reason is very simple: "The more he thinks about me, the less I will be." ”

Luo Anqiong swallowed her saliva, shook her head, and had to give up. He looked out of the city again, and the enemy soldiers outside the city were still scolding, but after scolding for a while, their mouths were dry and their strength was lost, and many people unbuttoned their clothes and pants, looking like they didn't care.

"Counselor Qin, I'm going to fight for a while, killing hundreds of people in front of this city, keeping it like the wind, not to the middle of the plan, how about it?" It's really greedy, Luo Anqiong said again.

"Our purpose in this Blue Dragon Fort is not to defeat our opponents, but to hold them back so that they can't go deeper right away, so as to buy time for the back. Since he doesn't attack the city, then my purpose of defending the city has been achieved, so why should I kill him? Qin Dashi stared at him, shook his head, and then spit out those two words: "No fight!" ”
