Chapter 1075: Panicked
Daimyo's Mansion, Wanyan Zonghan led Yinshu and others up the city wall, looked at the Tang army under the city, his face was solemn, he pointed to the camp opposite, and said: "The morale of the Tang army is high, although it is not commanded by Li Jing personally, but the army is attacking extremely fiercely, the spies came to report, not only the return car was transported from Bianjing, but also a weapon called artillery, Qingzhou City was broken under the attack of artillery, and General Wanyan was defeated under the artillery. "The general Wanyan in his mouth refers to Wanyan Yan's mother.
"Did you send cavalry to make a fuss?" Yinshu said with some concern: "Qingzhou City is a big city, the three princes fought bravely, the defense was extremely proper, and the walls were destroyed by the opponent's artillery, although the Daimyo's Mansion is very strong, but it is not necessarily the opponent of artillery." ”
"Artillery is secondary, the key issue is the strength of the cavalry. As long as our cavalry is strong, we can destroy all the enemy's intrigues. Wanyan Zonghan said indifferently: "If Li Jing personally leads the army to come, I am naturally cautious, but unfortunately, Li Jing is different when he is the emperor, he is obsessed with beauty all day long, forgetting the hard work of establishing the Tang Dynasty back then, and only knows how to enjoy, even such a major event as the Northern Expedition is handed over to the courtiers to complete, but he can't wait to go to Qufu, worship Confucius, and pray to become the authentic of the world, but I don't know that the biggest authenticity in the world is to dominate the world, at that time, even if the world's scholars do not recognize Li Jing, There is no way, Li Jing forgot all this, thinking that the overall situation of the world has been decided, and there will be no changes in decades, just for this point, this time the Northern Expedition will definitely fail. Think about it! Hundreds of thousands of troops have been lost, is the newly established Datang still the Datang? ”
As soon as Yan Zonghan's words fell, and everyone was about to praise, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and they saw a personal soldier hurriedly running over and said loudly: "General, there is an emergency from the Golden Wolf Guard. After speaking, he quickly handed over a note in his hand.
Wanyan Zonghan suddenly felt a trace of bad in his heart, and quickly took the note, glanced at it, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he said in a lost voice: "Li Jing is not in Bianjing, nor in Qufu, but went to Jiaodong. ”
"Why did you go to Jiaodong?" Yinshu couldn't help but ask: "Does he want to break through our defense line from the third prince's side, lead the Eastern Route Army, and fight into the land of Hebei?" If that's the case, we're not going to be good on the eastern front. ”
"If that's the case, forget it, he's a madman, no, he's a military genius, no wonder he has today, his four-way army is on the Northern Expedition, and the whole world will focus on the Hebei War, but in fact, his main target is my Dajin at all, but the Southern Song Dynasty, he is attacking the Southern Song Dynasty. Hu Yanzhuo, Han Shizhong and Li Qiao of Bashu, a total of four routes of the army went south to attack, among the four routes, three of the roads were the army on the surface, but he himself summoned the Liuqiu water division, met his brigade in Jiaodong, and killed Lin'an directly, you say, will Zhao Gou Xiao'er think of this? ”
"It's not just that Zhao Gou couldn't think of this, even we didn't expect that Li Jing's mighty Northern Expedition actually meant something else." Yinshu smiled bitterly.
"It doesn't have to mean otherwise, after all, nearly 500,000 troops are placed there, if our side can't support it, the enemy will turn a feint attack into a real attack, and the four-way army will directly kill the north, and it is not impossible for flowers to bloom on both sides." Wanyan Zonghan shook his head and said: "This kind of thing can't pin all hopes on the enemy, especially if this person is still Li Jing, such an idea is even more dangerous." ”
Everyone's faces tightened, this kind of thing is really possible, and when you meet an opponent like Li Jing, anything can happen. In case because of his own mistakes, Li Jing really launched an attack on North China, then the problem will be a big problem.
"Shouldn't Zhao Gou be notified, so as not to be destroyed by Li Jing?" Yinshu suggested: "Li Jing launched an attack from the sea, there should not be many soldiers and horses, if Zhao Gou is clever and sets up an ambush, may he not be able to inflict a heavy blow on Li Jing?" ”
"I'm afraid that by the time we notify Zhao Gou, it's already too late." Wanyan Zonghan thought for a while and said, "No matter what, send someone to notify you first, do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven!" ”
In fact, there was no need to be notified by Yan Zonghan at all, after Li Jing set off, it only took two days for the news of Fengbo Pavilion to reach Lin'an, and Qin Hui received the news that Zhao Gou quickly entered the palace.
After he entered the palace, he found that not only himself had come to the palace, but also Zhu Shengfei and other ministers, and even Yue Fei and other generals who were idle at home had also come, and he immediately knew that something big had happened.
Two days ago, Li Jing personally led the sailors to enter the sea in Banqiao Town, Jiaodong, and killed them in the south of the Yangtze River, because it was a night march, I don't know how many people and horses, but there were at least 50,000 soldiers and horses in the sailors, Li Jing sent troops, at least the guards would go out, and his guards had expanded to 50,000, so that about 100,000 soldiers and horses would be killed from the sea." Zhao Gou's face was pale, and there was even a look of panic on his face.
Everyone listened to an uproar, at this time, the Southern Song Dynasty thought that they could be peaceful in a short time, after all, the two sides had just signed a contract, but they didn't expect that Li Jing would kill him again so soon, and for a while, the hall was full of scolding, and even Li Jing's ancestors of the last eight generations were scolded.
"Your Majesty, Li Jing led an army of 100,000 to the south, I don't know if there is any news from the other Han Shizhong and Hu Yanzhuo?" Yue Fei thought for a moment before asking. According to his understanding of Li Jing, since Li Jing was a powerful Northern Expedition, at this time he suddenly turned his gun to deal with the Southern Song Dynasty, wasn't Li Jing afraid of the world's scolding of him?
"Someone is being sent to verify." Zhao Gou waved his hand, looking impatient, he had a bitterness in his heart, and finally dug up the Kong family to prove that he was the orthodoxy of the Han family, but he didn't expect that the Kong family actually brought the son of Emperor Jing Kang over, and it happened that he didn't have a prince, so he brought it over at this time, didn't he embarrass himself? You can pass the throne to anyone, but you must not pass the throne to the son of Emperor Jing Kang, otherwise, how will Zhao Jin treat himself when he grows up, and can he still be written into the inheritance of the Zhao family?
"No matter what, you have to be careful, Li Jing is insidious and cunning, the minister thought, at this time, even if Han Shizhong and Hu Yanzhuo don't make any moves, they can't relax, once Li Jing's war in Jiangnan starts, when we are all defending the Beijing Division, Han Shizhong and Hu Yanzhuo will take the opportunity to cross the river, and it will be difficult for us to resist." Zhu Shengfei suggested.
