Qin Hui is also strange, why did Qu Ping suspect that he had bad intentions when he saw him for the first time. The world is unpredictable, if Qu Ping hadn't grabbed himself and stabbed him in the face, leaving a warning mark that can never be erased, what would he be like now?

Thinking of this, the scar on Qin Hui's face was slightly itchy. How can I repay the suffering and humiliation I have suffered over the years?

Of course, Qu Ping couldn't say that these were taught by his history teacher, he said: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, haha." ”

Qin Hui didn't dwell on this question, and immediately said: "Marshal, Qin doesn't know anything about the way of soldiers, and it's useless to stay here." I want to go back to Beijing first to report to the emperor. ”

Qu Ping thought for a while and said: "Yes, I will write a letter to you and bring it to the emperor, after the emperor reads it, he will definitely believe you and will restart the reuse of you." Lord Qin must not forget the shame of the past and make persistent efforts, the stage of the Great Song Dynasty is prepared for talented people. ”

"Thank you, Marshal." Qin Hui was secretly happy that he could finally return to the Central Plains and return to the imperial court! He was concerned about Zhao Ji's situation again, and asked, "I don't know ...... Emperor Taishang now?" ”

Qu Ping knew that Qin Hui cared about Zhao Ji, so he told him the truth: "The Emperor Taishang has no intention of political affairs, and has devoted himself to studying calligraphy, painting and stone carving in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and now he calls himself 'Thin Gold Master'!" ”

Qin Hui nodded: "That's it!" The tone was slightly regretful.

Qu Ping felt a little proud in his heart, the historical villain Qin Hui was changed by himself, he was really amazing, Amazing&Unbelievable!

As the days passed, the officials sent by the emperor to take over the affairs of Dading also arrived.

Jingzhong also brought two pieces of news, one of which said that Zhang Junbu had united with the Mongolian army to exterminate the Naiman tribe and was on his way back to Korea.

Regarding this matter, Qu Ping suggested that Zhang Junbu temporarily wait for the old land of the Naiman Department and build a new Moxi City. Because Xiliao now has the desire to go east, it must be guarded against. Second, Qu Ping always felt that the Mongolian department was now a big family and could not be guarded against, so arranging Zhang Jun to build Moxi City west of the Mongolian department could play a double insurance role.

Not only will Moxi City be built in the west, but also Mobei City will be built in the middle of Mongolia, and Modong City will be built in the east. The future idea is to divide Mobei into three major blocks, divide the three prefectures, and divide the political power, so as to facilitate the central government. These are all things that Qu Ping suggested the emperor to start as soon as possible.

The other disappearance is about Liu Qi's army on the East Road.

After Liu Qi went north from Chenzhou to occupy Liaoyang, he was violently counterattacked by 80,000 Jin troops. After holding on for ten days, seeing that the enemy army had a strong willingness to fight to the death, in order to avoid greater casualties of the Song army and ensure the completion of the strategic intention of containing the Jin army, Liu Qi withdrew from Liaoyang Mansion and retreated strategically to the south with the remaining 40,000 people, and constantly harassed the prefectures and counties along the way.

The Jin army then followed the trail all the way and chased the Song army across the Yalu River. To the northeast of the Yalu River is Changbai Mountain, and it is difficult for the Song army to cross the cold Changbai Mountain and attack in a roundabout way.

The Jin soldiers then decided to garrison Kaizhou in Jiangbei to block the way for the Song army to go north.

Liu Qi occupied Baozhou south of the Yalu River, forming a standoff. When crossing the river from Jiangbei, he was bitten by the Jin army, desperately crossed the Yalu River, and lost a few thousand people, and when he took the border Baozhou, the Song army was left with less than 34,000 people.

Since the treasure ship of the Great Song Dynasty had returned, in order to deliver the news to the capital, Liu Qi ordered people to take a boat from Baozhou and return to the dynasty from Shandong. Due to the slow ocean currents in winter, it took more than a month for the news to reach the capital.

Baozhou has mastered the Yalu River port, and there is usually a lot of people, and the business is not bad, and the business is naturally more than the business, and the people are naturally going to eat, and if they want to eat, they will naturally have food.

Therefore, in addition to the grain from the government treasury in Baozhou, there is also the grain from the private chamber of commerce. In order to ensure that there is enough grain to support his own plan, Liu Qi made a blank slip to the private grain merchants, requisitioned and stored a large amount of grain, and ensured that it would be no problem to eat for more than half a year.

Half a year later, are you still afraid that the logistics support of the Great Song Dynasty will not be in place?

Liu Qi was not idle when he was facing off against the northern Jin army across the river in Baozhou, and he sent people to Kaijing, the capital of Goryeo, a good friend of the Great Song Dynasty, to ask for reinforcements.

Since his ascension to the throne, King Ke'an of Goryeo has adopted ambiguous diplomatic relations with the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, hoping to curry favor with both sides.

Later, the Great Song Dynasty abolished the policy of giving a large number of annual coins to the vassal states, and Wang Kai became estranged from the Great Song Dynasty. Coupled with the later invasion of Japan, the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty was hesitant and ambiguous, although the Japanese later withdrew under the intervention of the Great Song Dynasty, but Goryeo lost his wife and surrendered his troops.

and so on, all of which left a bad impression in Wang Kai's heart.

On the contrary, since the founding of the country, the Jin State has often attracted Goryeo, and there is also a supply of New Year's coins, which is really a rare new friend.

Based on the above reasons, Wang Kai said euphemistically to Liu Qi's request: Goryeo has had a series of natural disasters in recent years, and was stabbed in the back by Japan, and was physically and mentally injured, so he really can't afford to send troops to fight against Jin, and he also hopes that the Great Song General Haihan, but some food aid can still be available.

Liu Qi received the reply and was angry. You are a little Gaoli, you had the courage to offend the Tianwei of the Tang Dynasty back then, and now you tell me that the national strength is unbearable, you are talking nonsense to me when you open your eyes!

Liu Qi did not wait for the imperial court to reply, and sent someone back to the court to inform the emperor of Goryeo's unhelpful attitude, and asked for permission to give them some color if necessary.

When Zhao Gou received the first letter, he replied to Liu Qi, asking him to take care of himself, put everything on the great cause, and weigh himself when necessary.

When Liu Qi received the emperor's news, he increased his confidence, while increasing the defense of Baozhou, strengthening training, and studying the terrain situation of Goryeo, and giving them some color if necessary.

It is said that after Zhao Gou received Liu Qi's second letter, after knowing Gao Li's attitude, Long Yan was furious, and at this time Gao Li could not see the situation clearly, which was tantamount to killing himself.

Zhao Gou issued a decree allowing Liu Qi to weigh the pros and cons and consider attacking Goryeo if necessary. vp

Here, Qu Ping knew that Liu Qi was now facing great pressure, so he did not delay any longer and set out the army to march eastward.

ordered Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing to attack Liaoyang Mansion, and after capturing Liaoyang, they continued to go south to aid Liu Qi; ordered Hu Tu Ra and Han Shizhong to go north to capture Taizhou; He led Liu Guangshi, Qu Tuye, Jiang Boyan, Wang Zhiquan and other generals to lead a large army to take Huanglongfu first, and then attack Beijing Huining.

Han Shizhong is an old man, and with him by Kutula's side, Qu Ping is relieved.

The distance between Dading Mansion and Huanglong Mansion is 700 kilometers, and if the troops walk with heavy grain and grass, 50 miles a day is the limit, and the cavalry can travel 100 miles a day.

In order to speed up the pace of the march, Qu Ping requisitioned a large number of cavalry in his own ranks, a total of 80,000 people. The cannons, bombs, grain and grass were all transported by horse-drawn carts, which was much faster than manpower. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the troops can travel seventy or eighty miles a day.

Half a month later, the army was no more than a hundred miles away from Huanglong City.

Huanglong City was briefly used as the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and also imprisoned the two emperors of the Great Song Dynasty, so "smashing the Yellow Dragon" has always been a goal of the Great Song Dynasty. Although the two emperors are no longer in Huanglong, there must still be some royal relatives who are still left here.

In November, it was already snowing heavily in the northeast, and the snow was more than half shin-deep, and the army braved the snow and struggled to walk. The soldiers had enough clothing to keep warm, but the pace of the march was inevitably slowed down by heavy snowfall.

Liu Guangshi shook the falling snow on his body with a cold air, and said worriedly: "Marshal, this snow is full of bows and knives, and it must be very difficult to fight in the snow this time." ”

The Song army was all from Guannei, and the experience of snowball fights was scarce, so there were naturally many hidden dangers and worries in marching operations.

Qu Tuye wiped the snowflakes from his eyelashes and said, "The main force of our army is from Guannai, and because of this heavy snow, many variables have been added for no reason. ”

Qu Ping whipped the horsewhip so loudly that the snow on the horsewhip exploded, and said: "There is no difficulty, there is no variable, only days!" If the heavens want me to destroy the gold, it will not be able to escape the curse of God! ”

Although Qu Ping fearlessly cheered up and added milk, the generals still had concerns.

Jiang Boyan said: "This is icy and snowy, the river surface is frozen, the city wall must also be frozen, and the soldiers will definitely attack the city. ”

"The moat is frozen, okay, let's directly blast the city gate open with cannons, rush into Huanglong City through the frozen river, and smash Huanglong!" Qu Ping said.

When Qu Ping said this, it seemed that the battle of ice and snow still had an advantage, and everyone's confidence rose again.

Fifty miles away from Huanglong City, Qu Ping ordered Qu Tuye to lead 8,000 cavalry as the vanguard to explore the way.

Qu Tuye walked fifteen miles, and a part of the war horses of the front army suddenly fell into a hole, which was full of sharp bamboo tips, and the people and horses were pierced into a sieve.

It turned out that the Jin soldiers had already dug a trap on the road, covered it with a thin layer of wooden cloth leaves, and the heavy snow fell on it again, covering it seamlessly.

The soldiers in front encountered five traps and lost a hundred and ten men, and did not dare to advance rashly.

Qu Tuye hurriedly ordered the troops to stop advancing, turn around and retreat. Enemy troops set traps here, and there must be ambushes.

Sure enough, the Jin soldiers in ambush saw the Song army retreating, beat the war drums, and the ambushes on both sides slaughtered the Song army violently.

The Song army fought and retreated. Although the horses have long legs, it is difficult to walk in the thick snow.

With this practical snowshoe, the infantry is on a par with cavalry mobility.

The cavalry of the Song army suffered a fierce ambush, losing more than half of them, and less than 4,000 escaped alive.

"Marshal, the last general will have the great trust of the marshal, please punish him!" After Qu Tuye withdrew, he knelt in front of Qu Ping and pleaded guilty.

Qu Ping helped Qu Tuye up, first invited him to sit down and drink a cup of hot water, and said: "Now that we are at the enemy's home field, the enemy has the advantage of terrain, and it is inevitable that our army will pay some tuition fees to absorb some valuable experience." ”

Although Qu Ping said it as if nothing happened, Qu Tuye was full of guilt, Qu Ping had the heart to give himself a head credit, but he actually messed up. He didn't drink the water with him, and his heart was full of mixed tastes.

"If you don't drink water, it freezes." Qu Ping said, "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, not to mention our old Qu family, we must be able to stand the 'Qu'!" The lower you squat, the higher you jump. ”

Qu Tuye drank all the water in one breath and said, "Please rest assured, the marshal will definitely make them look good next time!" ”

"That's good!" Qu Ping patted him on the shoulder and said.

Liu Guangshi said: "The Jin soldiers have already made all kinds of precautions in the front, and with this heavy snow covering, the enemy is indeed twice the result with half the effort." ”

Qu Ping said: "Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help." It's not that God is helping him, it's just a small test for the successful ones before they win the crown. Brothers, soldiers, this is just the darkness before the dawn, cheer up, and soon you will be able to see the moon open! ”

Boosting morale is boosting morale, and the method needs to be well considered.
