The meaning of Lu Haoqing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is to borrow the hands of the Western Xia and borrow the chicken to lay eggs, first, to test whether the Western Xia will obey the words of the Great Song Dynasty, and secondly, to save manpower, material and financial resources for the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Gang objected and said: "No, whether it is Western Xia or Mongolia, one is a friendly army, the other is your own people, and you can't consume yourself." Moreover, there is also the Jin Kingdom eyeing the enemy, and if it is not good, it will push the hard-earned friends to the enemy camp. ”

Li Gang's concerns are not unreasonable, if the Western Xia is disgusted with the Great Song Dynasty borrowing chickens and eggs, or if the Mongolian Ministry does not receive effective assistance, it will inevitably damage the trust of the Western Xia and Mongolia in the Great Song Dynasty, and it will not be good to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot at that time.

Lu Hao asked ashamedly: "The lower official is stupid. ”

Qu Ping said: "The minister is also in favor of reinforcing Mongolia, but how to send troops must be carefully considered." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhao Gou listened to Qu Ping's consideration, and he must have a plan in his heart.

In the imperial study, there was a map of the world that had been discovered, not the map of the world drawn by Qu Ping, because that map had been stored as a high-level confidential document. Another reason why it can't be made is that Qu Ping's painting is too ugly.

Qu Ping walked to the map and pointed: "The first way, send troops to aid the Mongolian West Road through Western Xia, and jointly suppress the barbarian tribe; On the second road, he was ordered to move eastward, pointing directly at the Linhuang Mansion in Beijing, Jinguo; The third way, which is also the main force of the Chinese army, is the main force of our Great Song Dynasty to break through the defense line of the Great Wall and smash the Yellow Dragon; The fourth road, together with the reinforcement of the Mongolian troops, went out of the pass, went around to the back of the Great Wall, and marched east from Yunshuo Erzhou from west to east; On the fifth route, the Western Xia army was invited to march east with the fourth route army. The armies of the Five Routes each broke through the Jin Kingdom of Beijing, Xijing, and Zhongjing, and then annihilated the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop! ”

Everyone was in an uproar, is this the rhythm of the Song-Jin Armageddon?

Lu Hao, the secretary of the military department, asked: "My lord, if you are going to fight the decisive battle now, will you be unprepared?" ”

Qu Ping resolutely said: "It's the seventh year of Jianyan and May, not the year of Jingkang, so we should be caught off guard when our morale is high and the enemy has never imagined that the Armageddie Battle is coming!" ”

Zhao Gou listened to Qu Ping's grand strategy, and was a little nervous, and asked, "Aiqing has been planning the battle to destroy Jin for a long time, right?" This is not a trivial move, but can you be sure? ”

"The plan is in the people, although there is no 10% certainty, 80% is also there." Qu Ping said confidently.

Li Gang Laocheng is serious: "Can Yongguo Gong list where it comes from?" ”

Qu Ping analyzed: "First, the monarch and the minister are united, the four seas return to the dynasty, and the world is united. Second, it is necessary to lightly punish small taxes, be diligent in agriculture and fine administration, open up trade routes widely, and have solid capital savings. Third, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the morale is booming. Fourth, with the help of the national smelting masters, we have developed the strongest cannon chamber at present, and there is no need to worry about the danger of exploding the chamber after a long period of use. The grenade is ejected from a long distance with an improved version of the bed crossbow, which is infinitely powerful. The Shenji Battalion has expanded to 3,000 people, even if it is practiced by the Golden State, it is enough to be invincible! ”

Zhao Gou clapped his hands and applauded: "Aiqing said two months ago that there was a surprise for me to see, it turned out to be this!" That's great! ”

Li Gang said: "Compared with the armament alone, seventy or eighty percent of our army is equipped with repeating crossbows, which are far superior to the enemy's bows and arrows, and siege bed crossbows and catapults are also better than those of the Jin State, plus cannons and hand ......."

"Grenade." Qu Ping prompted.

"Coupled with artifacts such as cannon grenades, as well as the power of Western Xia and Mongolia, the scene is shocking enough." Li Gang continued.

Qu Ping said: "It doesn't matter whether the Western Xia sends troops or not, just take him by the way, let's eat meat and see if he is willing to drink soup." ”

Zhao Gou was eager to try: "Aiqing is in favor of sending troops?" ”

Lu Hao asked and saw that Qu Ping and Li Gang both advocated sending troops, and the emperor was also full of passion, so he followed and said that the ministers had no objections.

"Okay, since there is no objection, then the soldiers and horses will go first before the grain and grass are moved. Li Aiqing, you are responsible for the general logistics scheduling. The military command is under the overall command of Qu Aiqing, and the six departments are assigned to their respective duties. Zhao Gou ordered.

"Yes!" The three of them were commanded.

Zhao Gou asked Qu Ping: "Or, the five roads, except for the Mongolian and Western Xia departments, the remaining three roads, who is the commander of each of them?" ”

Qu Ping already had a belly case, so he said: "Three people, the first way to aid the Mongolian army of 50,000 horses, under the command of General Zhang Jun; The second route detoured through Western Xia to the north of the Great Wall to attack the Jin State in the east, and 50,000 horses were commanded by General Yang Zaixing; On the third road, the main forces of Hehe East Road, Hebei West Road, and Hebei East Road totaled 200,000, plus 3,000 troops of the Shenji Battalion, commanded by the ministers, and General Han Shizhong, General Liu Guangshi, and General Yue Fei were deputy commanders, each leading his troops. ”

The emperor, Li Gang, and Lu Haowen bowed slightly, and these generals who Qu Pingdian were all first-class commanders of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were all generals who could shock the party. With them out of the horse, you can keep the money safe!

"The soldiers are fast, and they need to strike together to be fatal. Therefore, he immediately ordered the Mongols and Western Xia to march on all directions. But we can't hope for these two military horses, they will play a role at most. A month later, Yang Zaixing set off again, pretending to aid Zhang Jun, arrived in Western Xia, and cooperated with the Third Route Army to attack the Jin State at the appointed time. At this time, if there is no accident, the barbarian tribe to the west of Mongolia should be basically pacified, and it should be no big problem for Kutura to attack a few small tribes in the east. At that time, the Kingdom of Jin will be surrounded on all sides, and we will only need to catch turtles in the urn! Qu Ping added in detail.

Lu Hao crossed his hands and counted them, and said, "Lord Qu, attacking in three directions, how can you be surrounded on all sides?" ”

"Haha!" Qu Ping smiled, "Lord Lu believe it or not, I will use the technique of clone?" ”

Zhao Gou was curious: "What kind of doppelganger method?" ”

Qu Ping sold a pass: "The emperor only needs to ask Shao Chengzhang to borrow me for dispatch, and then wait for the good news." ”

Zhao Gou was bored and said, "Even I dare to hide it." Okay, I'm waiting for your good news! ”

Li Gang faintly guessed Qu Ping's motives, Shao Chengzhang was in charge of shipping, and Qu Ping's fourth side should be attacked by sea, but he didn't know how he would deploy it.

"When will the troops be sent? Do you want to have a swearing-in mobilization ceremony? Zhao asked.

Qu Ping said: "Military aircraft should not be leaked, and it is advisable to keep a low profile for the time being, so as not to startle the snake, and it is not too late to mobilize when approaching the front line." On the same day, they will all be in place, and it will be best for Zhang Junbu to send troops in the next two days. ”

Zhao Gou rubbed his hands and said: "I am finally going to pull out these thorns in the eyes and flesh in the north, I am a little excited when I think about it!" ”

Li Gang had a plan and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you also order Goryeo to send troops to attack the Jin Kingdom?" If he sends troops, he will naturally help us relieve some pressure, but if he doesn't send troops, he will just fall into my mouth, and he will just clean them up in the future! Goryeo has been disrespectful to the Great Song Dynasty recently, and if you can kill Goryeo by the way, it would be the best! "Every day

"The Prime Minister's move is wonderful!" Qu Ping said, I didn't take this move into account, or Li Gang, the old fox of the Three Dynasties, was shrewd.

Zhao Gou said: "Yes!" ”

Lu Haowen remembered Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong, who was far away in the Jin Kingdom's Shangjing Huining Mansion, hesitated, but still said: "Your Majesty, if the Jin Dynasty is in a hurry, then the first emperor is in the Jin camp, wouldn't it be ......?"

Zhao Gou's face darkened, and he said, "When the time comes, we will focus on the rescue." Well, I immediately drafted the decree and quickly sent the order to the Mongol Khan Khutura, and the Western Xia King Li Changzuo. By the way, there is also the kingdom of Goryeo. ”

"Goryeo can be slowed down a little. The emperor wrote it, let the ministers keep it first, and then the ministers waited for the time to be almost up, and then sent someone to send it to Goryeo. Qu Ping said.

"That'll be fine." After Zhao Gou finished speaking, he began to work on the draft......

It was getting late, Qu Ping returned to the house, and the subordinates congratulated Qu Ping when they saw him, saying that his wife gave birth to a boy.

Qu Ping kept going to see Zhao Ping'er and the baby, he took Zhao Ping'er's hand and said that Mrs. had worked hard.

"But I made you so happy that I gave birth to a son." Zhao Ping'er said with a blank look.

Qu Ping glanced at Xiao Lu next to him, and said bitterly: "What does it mean to give birth to a son and make me happy, and I don't want to be a baby when I give birth to a daughter before." Your thinking is too pedantic and backward, I still say the same thing, giving birth to boys and girls is the same, they are the future of the motherland! ”

Qu Ping put the gift given by the emperor in his hand on the table: "This is what the emperor specially gave you to replenish your body, the South China Sea special bird's nest, which can replenish energy and clear energy, and is a holy product for replenishing weakness and strengthening the body!" ”

Zhao Ping'er snorted and said, "The emperor is compensating me, right?" I was dying of pain here, and you didn't even see me and the child, so you let the emperor call you away. ”

Qu Ping said: "The country is not the country in front of the family." As a duchess, your political consciousness must be raised! ”

"Don't talk about it! Name what you want, have you thought of it? Zhao Ping'er said.

"I've been racking my brains, and I'm sure I'll dig out the knowledge of the five big cars in my belly and give my son an earth-shattering name!"

Xiao Lu said: "Don't be poor, let's take a look at your son first!" ”

The newborn baby was sleeping in the cradle in the same room, and Xiao Lu pulled Qu Ping to see the baby. That appearance is a little similar to Qu Pingzhen, the nose, the eyes and the mouth. If you look closely, you look more and more like Zhao Ping'er.

Xiao Lu whispered, "I want a boy too." ”

Qu Ping smiled: "Are you a comparison? I'm telling you, it's the same for both men and women, and I like it. ”

How could Xiao Lu admit that she had the heart to compare, in this era, which woman doesn't want to have several sons. She squirmed, "It's not ......"

"Okay, I'll do it for you tonight."

"Oops, be quiet." Xiao Lu pinched Qu Ping's arm fiercely.

Qu Ping was in pain and whispered "ah".

Zhao Ping'er listened in bed and jokingly said: "You pay attention, my baby son is only the first day of birth, let you teach these shameless things!" ”

Xiao Lu's face was shy, and she pinched Qu Ping again.

Qu Ping hurriedly explained to Zhao Ping'er: "What are you talking about! We say babies are born just like you. ”

"The flesh on my body, like I am, is certain." Zhao Ping'er said happily.

Qu Ping said with a smile: "Tonight, you must have a hearty meal of big fish and meat to celebrate." It's a pity that individual comrades don't have this kind of mouthful. ”

"You dare, as an important minister of the court, you eat and drink a lot, do you know that what you eat is some people's fat and people's ointment?" Zhao Ping'er can't enjoy the blessings of the mouth, and she can't lose the verbal battle.

Xiao Lu said: "Okay, we don't eat people's fat and people's ointment. ”

"It's pretty much the same, it's better to be a sister." Zhao Ping'er said.

"Let's just eat some sea cucumbers, abalone, bear's paws, shark fins, and the like." Xiao Lu added.

"You ...... Hmph, the two of you are invited, don't disturb the rest of the county lord and the little boy. Zhao Ping'er pretended to be angry.

Little Red and Little Green have been guarding the bedside, never leaving.

Xiaohong said: "Old lady, with us taking care of you, don't worry!" ”

The emperor's decree was issued, and Zhang Jun ordered 50,000 horses and left the country on the third day. He secretly swore in his heart that he must return with a big victory, correct his name, be ashamed of himself, and live up to the emperor's grace.

Yang Zaixing also trained his soldiers and horses intensively, making all preparations before departure.
