"Lord Zhao, please take a seat!" Hearing this, he didn't insist, Yang Congyi flashed and gave up his seat.

Zhao Wei, the king of Jian, took the position of staff officer of the army, and immediately sat down, without shirking, and the generals of the Forbidden Army who came with him accompanied him and did not leave an inch.

"Someone! Order, no one is allowed to come within five zhang without permission! Yang Congyi immediately called the guards and ordered the guards in the camp to be strengthened.

The 300 people brought by the Su Guard General were also deployed in the inner camp at the same time, and they were jointly responsible for the defense of the capital camp.

When Zhao Wei entered the camp not long ago, the guards who went to the garrisons of the former army to inspect and deploy returned to the camp to resume their lives.

"My lord, all the units of the front army have entered the combat position as required!"

"Good. Order all units to find their own fighters, if the enemy crosses the river and lands on the shore, be sure to destroy them all, and not let any enemy cross the position! ”

"Yes, sir!" The guards were ordered to leave.

After hearing the report, Yang Congyi made up his mind that if the front army was ambushed on the riverbank as required, he would be able to take the enemy by surprise.

"Report! Emergency military intelligence! ”

Zhao Wei was about to talk to Yang Congyi about some military affairs, when he overheard the report outside the account, so he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

The guard quickly stepped into the tent and quickly said: "My lord, General Xue sent someone to send back the latest news, the enemy army has been dispatched from the shore, and hundreds of ships have scattered across the river from a section of the river more than ten miles wide, and they can cross the river and land in half an hour at the earliest. Due to the unclear vision in the middle of the river, it was impossible to find the enemy crossing the river to attack the main section of the river, and they were still in the middle of the river to observe! ”

"Good. How are Su Zhong and Pan Cheng in Jiangzhong? Yang Congyi asked urgently.

"General Su and General Pan have already led the fleet to enter the heart of the river at night to ambush."

"Order all the armies on the left and right sides of the ferry, except for the necessary positions, extinguish the extra bonfires, and within two quarters of an hour, all enter the state of battle, and be sure to destroy the enemy troops who have landed on the shore!"

General Yang Congyi gave the order, and the guards quickly took the order to leave.

The tent finally fell silent.

"Lord Yang, the enemy army is attacking at night, the momentum is huge, you go to the front line to command the enemy, don't worry about me." Zhao Wei sat in the tent, watching the guards keep entering the tent to report the military situation, he quickly felt the extremely nervous mood of preparing for war on the front line, although he tried his best to restrain himself, his words still revealed nervousness and worry.

Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, the enemy army is attacking at night, and it is dark in all directions, even if I go to the front line in person, it will be difficult to distinguish the enemy's situation, and it will even affect the deployment and command of various armies." Long before the time of the sub-hour, after the various units of the former army were redeployed as required, I had already delegated the authority to engage the enemy in all departments. Only they are the most familiar with the officers and men of the various units, and they also have their own tactics of fighting the enemy, and once the enemy army attacks at night, they decide for themselves how to destroy the enemy, which is more effective than our unified command. In fact, how the various armies fight, they have already been deployed, and it is the same if I can't get out of the camp, and the enemy army will not be able to succeed, Your Highness, rest assured! ”

These confident words and confident smile reduced the pressure on Zhao Wei's heart a lot.

"Lord Yang is like this in normal battles? Or is it a special situation today that will let go of your hands and feet? Embarrassed, Zhao Wei then asked.

"When conditions permit, I will personally go to the front line to take command and keep abreast of the latest combat situation, so that I can make timely adjustments when I find a better fighter. However, in fighting the enemy, in fact, it is very taboo to change the orders of the generals on the spot, and if they are not handled well, they will cause errors in receiving information, cause confusion, and delay the fighters. After being familiar with the combat ability of his officers and soldiers, I will explain clearly to them when formulating the battle plan before the battle, so that they can understand the situation and the battlefield they are facing, and formulate a few preparatory plans in addition to the established battle plan for them to choose before the battle. Sometimes it is more important to sit in the Chinese army and coordinate the overall situation, for example, at this time, the vision is not clear at night, once I leave the Chinese army camp, if there is a military situation, I need to make a decision, and if I can't find me for a while, it may affect the entire battlefield. Yang Congyi relaxed and explained to Zhao Wei carefully.

"The same is true of the king. After receiving your news, he did not leave the Shuai Mansion, but insisted on commanding in the Shuai Camp. Zhao Wei's face gradually changed for the better, and his nervous mood calmed down a little.

"Lord Yang, you tell the truth, how long can Zhenjiang be guarded?" Zhao Wei was silent for a moment, stared at Yang Congyi's eyes, and asked the question that Pan Huan wanted to ask the most in his heart.

Yang Congyi replied without hesitation: "Forever!" The enemy army will never be able to break through the defense line of the Yangtze River, let alone cross the Yangtze River! ”

"Really?" When Zhao Wei heard this, his spirit was immediately lifted!

In his tone, there was a little surprise and a little suspicion, his eyes were fixed on Yang Congyi, and deep down he wanted to confirm that this sentence was true, not to coax him!

Not only Zhao Wei, but even the general of the Su Guard who was beside him and never left was also shocked, obviously he didn't believe that the defenders could hold Zhenjiang forever, no matter how you look at it, Zhenjiang will be lost sooner or later.

Yang Congyi smiled: "Naturally, take it seriously! I fought the enemy three times, and each time I annihilated the enemy target. The first one was in the Saojiao Forest, when the Guazhou camp hundreds of thousands of troops, I heard that the enemy army in Yangzhou was going to break into the camp, no one dared to fight, they all wanted to hide in the camp, I asked Ying to go out to fight, outside the camp to hit the enemy by surprise, the results proved that my combat ideas coincided with Liu Qi's marshal, so I led the Jingwu Army 3,000 people and the Yangwu Army, the town of the enemy army, a total of more than 6,000 people ambushed in the Saojiao Forest between the Guazhou camp and Yangzhou, the enemy's vanguard also wanted to take advantage of the night to attack the camp, as a result, they crashed into our ambush, In World War I, almost all the attacking enemy troops were annihilated, forcing the enemy army in Yangzhou to dare not leave the city for five days, and then hundreds of thousands of troops from the Guazhou battalion calmly withdrew to Zhenjiang to arrange river defenses. When the army withdrew, I did not withdraw to Zhenjiang with the army, but asked for orders to lead the Jingwu Army and the Yangwu Army to support Jiankang and Taipingzhou, because I knew that the defensive pressure there was countless times greater than that of Zhenjiang.

As a result, when we hurried and arrived at Taipingdu, just in time for the enemy to cross the river, more than 1,000 enemy vanguards had already landed on the shore to capture Taipingdu, and the ships in the river were densely packed across the river, if we arrived half an hour late, the enemy army would have successfully crossed the river, fortunately we arrived in time, destroyed and dispersed the enemy ships in the river, and then waited for the shore, and the defenders flanked back and forth, and annihilated the enemy troops who were killing in the direction of Taiping City. Due to the limited number of defenders of Taipingdu, once the enemy crossed the river on a large scale, it was impossible to defend at all, so I designed to force the enemy army to cross the river in a large scale at our scheduled time and battlefield, and then took advantage of the advantages of the Great Song warships and the Jingwu army to be familiar with water warfare, and nearly 1,000 enemy ships were destroyed in front of the enemy camp.

The misery of that battle, even if the four or five hundred thousand enemy troops not far away did not see it with their own eyes, they had definitely heard of it from other people, so after the enemy army lost the ability to cross the river and moved to Guazhou in the first battle of Hezhou, they became very cautious, and when they saw the appearance of the Great Song warship, they did not dare to fight offshore. Of course, before the Hezhou army reached Guazhou, I led the Jingwu army to design and annihilate seventy or eighty enemy ships in the middle of the river. The two water battles of the Great Song Dynasty were completely victorious, and the enemy army was frightened when they heard that they had crossed the river, and they did not dare to cross the river during the day, so they could only dare to come out to try when they could not see the Great Song Dynasty warships at night, but could they take advantage of it when they came out at night? I dare to assert that after the defeat of the enemy army tonight, they will never dare to cross the river again, at least three days, at most five days, and they will definitely lead the army back north! ”

Zhao Wei was silent for a long time after listening.

The three victories in which Yang Congyi participated and commanded were real, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he could scare four or five hundred thousand enemy troops back with two water battles.

"Your Highness doesn't seem to believe that the enemy army will retreat?" Yang Congyi said with a smile.

Zhao Wei thought for a while, did not answer directly, but said: "Now there is no general in the Great Song Dynasty army who is capable of recruiting good soldiers, Liu Qi is seriously ill, Zhang Jun has been missing for a long time, the king of the county has been in Lin'an for nearly 20 years, as a general, there is a gap between the combat ability of the unified army and Liu Qi and Zhang Jun, and now he is over sixty years old and still comes to Zhenjiang to preside over military affairs, and there is really no one available in the imperial court." You said that there is no commander in the Great Song Army, there are no soldiers under the tent, and the enemy's army will let go of this opportunity? I'm not afraid to tell Lord Yang, in fact, the imperial court has long been prepared to be unable to hold Zhenjiang. ”

"Since His Royal Highness and the imperial court thought that the Great Song army could not withstand the enemy army and could not hold Zhenjiang, why did His Highness come to Zhenjiang?" Yang Congyi asked rhetorically, smiling.

Zhao Wei straightened his back in an instant, and said loudly: "I am the descendant of Taizu, half of the Great Song Dynasty has been lost, I can't sit back and watch the enemy army snatch the other half away, if the country is not protected, what face do I have to survive in the world!" I came here just to accompany the Great Song Dynasty and thousands of people on their last journey, and I would rather die than escape! ”

Hearing this, Yang Congyi suddenly got up and bowed deeply to Zhao Wei.

Then he said: "Your Highness cares about the country and the thousands of people, and the end will be full of admiration!" Since His Royal Highness has the heart to be with the Great Song Dynasty, the last general swears here today that he will not return to the Central Plains, his homeland, Yanyun, and never give up in this life! And the first step to recovering the Central Plains is tonight, on the banks of the Zhenjiang River! ”

These words were sonorous and powerful, and Zhao Wei was stunned on the spot for a while.

The enemy army is pressing, but Yang Congyi is trying to recover the Central Plains and Yanyun, what a self-confidence and how arrogant!

In the two hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, ten emperors have been spent, countless money and grain have been spent, and countless soldiers have been killed, but Yanyun has not been recovered, and even Bianjing was robbed by the Jin, and all the land north of the Huai River was lost, how could he dare to think of recovering Yanyun?

"Is Lord Yang serious?" Zhao Wei trembled slightly, and asked seven words.

"If you don't return to Yanyun, you will be a big Song boy in vain! Whether it succeeds or not, there will be results tomorrow morning, and His Royal Highness can witness it with peace of mind! "Yang Cong is heroic and arrogant.

Zhao Wei saw that Yang Congyi was so confident, and the doubts in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"Good! Lord Yang, this king will accompany you to testify, if the enemy army really retreats, this king will do his best to help you recover Yanyun! As he spoke, he got up.
