Chapter 960: Zhao Gou's abacus
Gao Zhong led the guards cavalry to leave Bianjing the next day, and on the third day, Li Jing left Li Dingbei to supervise the country, led the army of 100,000 to the east to conquer Ludi, plus 30,000 guards cavalry, the army was about 30,000, among the accompanying generals, Yang Miaozhen, the former battalion general, Liang Zhong, the rear battalion general, Wu Song, the left battalion general, Hua Rong, the right battalion general, Li Daniu, the Chinese army guard general, and other dozens of generals followed Li Jing's back, and raised troops to the east, wanting to seize Lu in one fell swoop.
The Tang Dynasty army is huge, the world is shaking, and only Li Jing can lead the army to the east again after a few months of rest, after Yan Zonghan got the news, he also began to reorganize the army, on the one hand, to appease the undetermined in the Ludi righteous army, on the other hand, he also increased his own soldiers and horses, gathered soldiers and horses from Hebei, and the army continued to enter Ludi, preparing for a decisive battle with Li Jing.
Southern Song Dynasty Jingshi Lin'an Mansion, the new palace has initially formed a scale, the general layout is the same as Bianjing, but the area is relatively speaking, it is much smaller, the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Zhao Gou has sat firmly in the country, Qin Hui, Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and so on seriously assisted, regulate yin and yang, govern mountains and rivers, there are Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and others to lead the army, pacify the bandits in various places, especially after Fang Baihua led the righteous army to leave, it is to let the order of Jiangnan gradually stabilize.
"Li Thief is ready to raise troops to the east, wanting to take Lu Di into his pocket, once Li Thief succeeds, his forces will occupy the entire Central Plains, which is greatly unfavorable to Jiangnan. Do you have a solution? Zhao Gou sat on the dragon chair, his face was graceful, although he had experienced some changes and was almost ousted from the throne, but the descendants of the Zhao family still have some talent in this regard, at least on the surface, there is royal prestige.
"Li Jing's wolf thief ambition, he canonized Yang An'er as the commander of Lu Di at the beginning, in a vain attempt to use Yang An'er's prestige to seize the opportunity, but unfortunately, Yang An'er was killed by Xia Quan, and Li Jing's plan was disrupted, which shows that the number of days is not in Li Thief, my Great Song Dynasty will definitely be able to recover Jiangbei, and Your Majesty will definitely be able to dominate the rivers and mountains." Huang Qianshan suddenly smiled.
Zhao Gou nodded, and said to Qin Hui: "This matter is still Qin Qing's old plan, Li Jing canonized Yang An'er, Qin Qing sent someone to contact Xia Quan, and played a good chess hand, now Xia Quan controls most of the Ludi Righteous Army, in Ludi, Li Thief's strength is not as good as ours, what should we do next, what is Qin Qing's strategy?" Zhao Gou was very satisfied with Qin Hui, this person who followed him from Bianjing to Jiangnan, which made Zhao Gou trust Qin Hui very much.
"Your Majesty, the situation in Ludi is complicated, the Jin people, the righteous army, and some people who are stupid and loyal to Li Jing, the various forces are staggered, too far away from Jiangnan, and there are Jiangnan East Road, Liangzhejiang Road, Huainan East Road, Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road, Li Jing in order to guard against the Great Song Dynasty, has laid heavy troops in these places, Lin Chong led the army of 100,000 to sit in Huai'an, just to prevent our army from going north. If you want to support Xia Quan, it's very inconvenient. Qin Hui thought for a while and said: "But the minister thinks that he can take two steps, with Han Shizhong and Yue Fei as the main force, attack the Jiangnan East Road, threaten the Central Plains, enter the sea with a naval division, support Xia Quan from the sea, and the third joint Jin people, repel Li Jing in Ludi, Li Jing has been fighting all year round, although he has some savings over the years, but the minister believes that as long as the time drags on, the final victory will definitely be us." ”
"Who can enter the sea?" Zhao Gou nodded.
"Liu Qi can." Qin Hui thought for a while and said: "Supporting Xia Quan, on the one hand, is to strengthen Xia Quan's determination to resist Li Jing, and secondly, to delay the time for Li Jing to seize Lu Land, I will support a small number of soldiers and horses and grain and grass is enough, the main experience is still on the Jiangnan East Road, if you can defeat Lin Chong, it is naturally the best." "Lin Chong sat in Huai'an, 100,000 troops threatened along the river, all the cities along the river in the Southern Song Dynasty were under Lin Chong's attack, the threat to the Southern Song Dynasty was too much, so that Zhao Gou was restless, he moved the capital to Lin'an, in fact, to avoid Lin Chong's troops.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Qin said is very true, Ludi is too far away from us, even if it is captured, it may not be able to hold it, we can let Xia Quan unite with the Jin people to join forces to resist Li Jing's attack, and the main focus is better on Lin Chong." Zhu Shengfei also spoke. Although I don't like Qin Hui, I have to admit that Qin Hui still has some talents and can see things that others can't see.
"Where is Yue Fei now? Fang Baihua has fled, hasn't the others come back yet? Zhao Gou frowned. Everyone in the hall didn't speak, and Qin Hui stood there, his face a little unsightly.
Originally, I wanted to test Yue Fei, but what I didn't expect was that nothing was tested, and in the end, Fang Baihua Golden Cicada was allowed to break out of his shell and leave the inland, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians went to Liuqiu, and suddenly got out of the control of the Southern Song Dynasty, what made Qin Hui even more worried was that Liuqiu was in the rear of Jiangnan, and once Liuqiu recovered its combat effectiveness, the rear of Jiangnan would be unstable.
"Wan Qiyun sent a letter saying that Yue Fei's army is advancing very fast, and it is estimated that there will be ten days left to return to the Beijing Division." Huang Qianshan's face was very calm, but the joy in his eyes was difficult to hide, Wan Qian was Qin Hui's henchman, this time the army exterminated Fang Baihua, it can be said that the Southern Song Dynasty spent countless times, and finally the army failed, allowing Fang Baihua to escape, Yue Fei's responsibility is relatively small, but the biggest responsibility is Wan Qi.
Of course, everyone knows that in fact, this responsibility is ultimately caused by Zhao Gou's distrust of the generals, Yue Fei is nominally the commander of the army, but he is constrained by Wan Qiao, so at the last moment, Fang Baihua can easily escape.
Perhaps Zhao Gou also knew the reason for this, after learning that Fang Baihua had fled, Zhao Gou was not angry, but just ordered Yue Fei to return to the army, and easily dismissed the officials in Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other places, and did not hold Yue Fei responsible.
"It seems that we still have to let the Yue family army take action, let Han Shizhong rectify the soldiers and horses, and prepare grain, grass and equipment and other things for the household department and the military department, and when the Yue family army returns to Beijing, immediately go north to the Central Plains, we can't let Li Jing easily occupy Lu Di, even if he occupies Lu Di, we must seize Jiangnan East Road and drive Lin Chong away." Zhao Gou said with some dissatisfaction. Lin Chong led the army to be stationed in Huai'an, just like a sharp sword hanging above Zhao Gou's head, making Zhao Gou restless, at this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of Li Jing's main army in Ludi, he must solve Lin Chong.
"The minister immediately asked people to prepare." Zhu Shengfei hurriedly said.
"The minister arranged for someone to go to Qingzhou, contacted Yan Zonghan, and asked him to drag Li Jing as much as possible." Qin Hui also spoke. Li Jing is powerful, and he expects that the Southern Song Dynasty family will definitely not be able to deal with Li Jing, so he can only pull the Jin people. Although the Jin people were their enemies, compared to Li Jing, the Southern Song Dynasty would rather join forces with the Jin people.
Zhao Gou nodded, his expression much more relaxed. He is still very confident in this operation, after all, it is difficult for Li Jing to fight on two fronts.
