Although the news of the attack on Jin Guo was not widely publicized, as long as there were high-ranking generals with brains, they should have thought of it.

Liu Qi said with a heartfelt voice: "Regain the old land and revitalize China!" Kill the gold thief and raise Song Wei! ”

"Well said!" Liu Guangshi praised.

"That's right! The four-way army, Ben Shuai has already made a premeditated plan, only the east side is missing, and there is still a lack of a main general. I need a brave and resourceful commander to lead my troops across the ocean from Dengzhou to the north to defeat the enemy Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo. If it were General Liu, what would you do? Qu Ping walked to the front of the map and said his strategy.

Liu Qi approached the map with a step, and the marshal of the heart was so bold that he wanted to cut gold in all directions, how much ability and courage did this have!?

Liu Qi looked at the map and pondered for a while, and based on his many years of experience in marching and combat, he said: "If you go to sea from Dengzhou, Suzhou in Goryeo can be said to be the closest place on the other side. However, the land march is difficult, and I would suggest continuing to go north along the coastal road and land at Chenzhou. Then take Liaoyang Mansion and retreat back to the sea. ”

"Good. However, whether the 40,000 soldiers and horses can capture Liaoyang Mansion, and after capturing Liaoyang Mansion, whether they can hold on to it in the face of the flank attacks of Dading and Huining is a very difficult task. There is also the grass on the wall in the east - Goryeo, what role they will play at that time is unknown. Qu Ping came out of the difficulties of the Eastern Army one by one, "Liu Qi, are you willing to take on this important task as the chief general of my Eastern Route Army?" ”

Liu Qi was excited in his heart, he didn't expect that he was beaten and oppressed by Wang Boyan, and he was still depressed, and suddenly one day he would become such an important person! In addition to the excitement, there is also some emotion.

He said with a resolute gaze: "The last general will definitely live up to the mission of the marshal!" ”

A surprise attack across the ocean to attack Liaoyang Mansion is no joke. Liu Guangshi said to Liu Qi: "The task is arduous, do you have a sense of proportion? ”

Liu Qi said: "Liaoyang Mansion is relatively remote from the Great Song Dynasty, and just to guard against Goryeo, it will definitely not set up a large army. As long as we win by surprise, after capturing Liaoyang Mansion, even if we are isolated and have no food and grass, the last general dares to make a military order, and we will be able to hold on for three months to half a year! ”

Qu Ping praised his unwavering courage, but that was not what he wanted.

Qu Ping said: "Remember, your blow is only a surprise attack, not a battle in Dingjiangshan." Liaoyang Mansion can abide by the rules, and if it can't keep it, it will retreat. ”

"The last general commands!" Liu Qi knows that the most important task of his journey is to contain the Jin army, which is easy to say and difficult to say.

Qu Ping said: "As the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, this marshal has the right to act cheaply on behalf of the saint. Liu Qi listens to orders! ”

"The last general!"

"Ordered you to be the commander of the Liao army, and be fully responsible for commanding the war in the east! This is your opportunity and your challenge. However, if you don't do well, apologize to yourself! Qu Ping said.

Liu Qi said confidently: "Yes! ”

Qu Ping prayed in his heart, hoping that Liu Qi would be like Yang Zaixing, who was born from the end of his own life, and became a blockbuster. Otherwise, this black pot of negligence in employing people will be determined by itself. After all, such an important strategy, more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, if it is entrusted to non-people, it is really impossible to cry.

The soldiers are fast, fast as the wind, and move like rabbits.

Liu Qi received the military order, sent someone to greet his family, and then rushed to Dengzhou.

Qu Ping was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know what the result of Liu Qi's trip was.

Han Shizhong saw Qu Ping's worries and said: "Marshal, please rest assured, the person is recommended by me, if the task cannot be achieved, the responsibility lies with me." ”

"Count me in!" Liu Guangshi followed.

In the seventh year of Jianyan, July 15, the traditional mid-year festival.

Seven and a half sacrifices to the ancestors and ancestors, can be traced back to ancient times, with the prosperity of Taoism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the name of "Zhongyuan Festival" has officially penetrated into the people. Of course, in the mouth of Buddhism, it was renamed "Obon". Zhongyuan originated from the Taoist "three-yuan theory", that is, the Zhongyuan local officials forgive sins, on this day, people have to worship ancestors, put river lanterns, worship the souls of the dead, burn paper ingots, sacrifice land, etc. The customs are different in various places, there have been July 14, there have been July 15, and the core of their culture is still to respect their ancestors and fulfill their filial piety.

The 150,000 and 8,000 soldiers of the Song army assembled on the battlefield in full armor, waiting in a phalanx, their eyes revealing perseverance and bloodthirstiness.

Qu Ping and a group of senior generals stood on the high platform in front of more than 150,000 soldiers, Qu Ping held a loudspeaker and shouted to all the soldiers: "Soldiers! It's time to get rid of the pain and make history! Let the people be confident and happy, and let the society grow and prosper The time has come! With the bloodiness of battle, the time has come to test the sweat of our training! ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were full of emotion and enthusiasm.

Qu Ping said again: "Since ancient times, if you lose Beiling, you will be in trouble with Yanyun, and if you lose Yanyun, you will be in trouble with the Central Plains." Since the traitorous slave Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Central Plains was invaded by the northern barbarians for nearly two hundred years, and the pain and blood and tears brought to us by this shame are believed to be innate to everyone. ”

The soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, clenched their iron fists, and secretly decided that they must break the shame and re-promote the power of our Huaxia gods! The only Chinese network

"Today's emperor, in response to the mandate of heaven, bless his subjects, be proactive, and govern martial arts, let us see the ability and courage to raise our eyebrows and reorganize the mountains and rivers. And you, tens of thousands of soldiers, day and night, all year round, have exercised an extremely resolute physique and courage, cultivated organization and discipline, and also let the emperor and the people of the world see the hope of fearless resistance, dare to fight, and win the battle! ”

The soldiers looked firm, held their heads high, and stood more straight and straight.

Qu Ping continued: "Soldiers, people are inherently dead, either lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai. I was also afraid of death, and I also wanted to live in peace and enjoy wealth and wealth, but my wife said to me, 'Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures.'" The women sitting in the boudoir all understand the truth, don't we still have the courage to save the people from fire and water, to settle the society in danger, to establish our own merits? You say, "Is there any?" ”

"Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! ”

The 150,000 troops were divided into two routes, Liu Guangshi led 50,000 to take Xifengkou, Qu Ping and Han Shizhong led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, including 8,000 Shenji battalions, to go straight to Juyong Pass, and ordered all the border Song soldiers south of the Great Wall to move closer to Gubeikou to strictly prevent the enemy from leaving Gubeikou.

Qu Ping had only one request for Liu Guangshi, not to conquer Xifengkou, but to contain the enemy's forces; If you can conquer Xifengkou, you will be temporarily stationed at Xifengkou, wait for Qu Ping to take Yanqing Mansion, and then join forces to go north.

Juyong Pass is the closest to Yanqing Mansion of Jin State, and it is also the place where Jin Wushu is heavily guarded, and it is by no means an easy place, so Qu Ping drove the main force to Juyong Pass, and let the Shenji Battalion try its edge to see how long he can hold on to Jin Wushu.

At the same time, Yue Fei had already gathered 60,000 troops and went straight to Yanmen Pass. Keyanmen Pass, you can directly take Huanzhou, Shuozhou.

The Western Xia agreed to send troops, but Yang Zaixing did not wait for the Western Xia army to come to rendezvous. On the agreed day of the Zhongyuan Festival, Yang Zaixing couldn't wait for the Western Xia Army, and sent troops through Fengzhou to take Yunzhou in the east.

Li Changzuo of Western Xia has agreed to send troops, and it is expected to be two days late, I don't know which general will be sent and how many troops will be led.

The 80,000 cavalry of Kutura had already brutally ravaged several small tribes in the east, and would soon clash with Wanyan Zongxian's 60,000 soldiers and horses. The 80,000 Mongolian iron cavalry sharpening their swords will surely trample on Yan Zongxian's 60,000 soldiers.

Zhang Jun's 50,000 soldiers and horses, combined with the nearly 30,000 cavalry of the three brothers, had already forced the Naiban army to the extreme north step by step.

Qu Ping's troops from Hejian to Juyong Pass were the same distance as Yue Fei's troops to capture Yanmen Pass and Yang Zaixing's departure to Yunzhou.

In order to make a time difference, Qu Ping deliberately slowed down a little, allowing Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing to start a war with the Jin army first. After the completion of the Golden Vulture Technique, Yan Zongbi received the news that the western two sides were attacked and would definitely transfer troops from Yanqing Mansion to rescue. It took at least two or three days from Yanqing Mansion to Yunshuo Erzhou, and when the Jin army reinforcements were halfway there, Qu Ping just reached Juyong Pass.

Since the last time the Song army helped the Western Xia, it adopted the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", attacking the Jin State in the north and taking a large area of land south of the Great Wall.

Therefore, before the Song army kills Juyong Pass, it will basically not encounter any resistance.

When the spies in front of the Jin army saw the vast Song soldiers, they were so frightened that they went back to report the news, they could only retreat outside the pass, close the gate tightly, and guard against arrows and stones on the city wall, while hurriedly reporting to the Jin Wushu of Yanqing Mansion.

Wanyan Zongbi received the express report from the front and slapped the table fiercely: "Fortunately, Ben Shuai has not sent troops to Yunshuo to rescue, otherwise he would have fallen for his plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Qu Ping is a scheming person, but fortunately, this king can endure his temperament! ”

The subordinate said: "Marshal, if he wants to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, why don't he wait a few more days?" ”

"Or maybe he has something else to do." Wanyan Zongbi said, "Within two days, the three places outside Yunzhou Pass, Yanmen Pass, and Juyong Pass were in an emergency, and presumably the eastern pass was also attacked. It seems that the Song Dynasty is determined to fight to the end with my Dajin this time! ”

"Marshal, now the northern Mongolia is not restless, Kutura has been driven to the east, King Zongxian led 60,000 troops to the north to suppress Mongolia, hoping to frustrate the Mongolian spirit."

Wanyan Zongbi said disdainfully: "Hmph, if you suddenly try to come out of the nest, Wanyan Zongxian may be difficult to defeat the opponent." If it is the commander, he will stick to the border fort of Linhuang, wait for work, and wait for the Mongolian spirit to decay, and he will be able to repel the enemy army. ”

"If that's the case, isn't King Zongxian dangerous? Do you want to play the Holy Lord, and ask the Holy Lord to decree that King Zongxian change his battle strategy? ”

"Not necessarily. This is a plan decided by the saint himself, if Ben Shuai is played, wouldn't he go against the saint and embarrass the saint? Moreover, with the character of Wanyan Zongxian, he will definitely say that he will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside. Therefore, the commander should not know, let it be, so as not to be unflattering. Wan Yan Zongbi said, "What's more, we are now collecting the enemy on three sides, how can we still have the energy to manage Yan Zongxian's life and death." He likes to be in the limelight and fight for credit, so let him go! ”

"We are attacked on three sides, how should we resist the enemy?"

Wanyan Zongbi asked rhetorically: "Can the enemy's military strength be proven?" ”

"There are no exact numbers yet. The enemy general in Yunzhou is Yang Zaixing of the Song Dynasty, who is the descendant of the Yang general, and it is estimated that the enemy has more than 30,000 troops; Yue Fei, the main general of the enemy army at Yanmen Pass, has a military strength of about 50,000; Juyong Pass is the commander of Qu Ping, and the military strength is not yet known, according to the news just came, there are less than 10,000 people close to the pass. ”

Wanyan Zongbi was captured by Yang Zaixing himself, where do he still have to be introduced by his subordinates, he has long hated Yang Zaixing.

"Less than 10,000? How can it be? He is the highest military general under the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and it is impossible for him to dare to come and knock with me with 10,000 soldiers and horses. Otherwise, either he is stupid, or he looks down on Ben Shuai too much! "Wanyan Sect Bi Ning believes that he has tens of thousands of troops behind him.

"The last general ordered the horse to find out again. Marshal, then how do we deploy our forces? ”
