A fire blocked Wu Jue in Qingzhou City, although this time was the best time to pursue Yan Zongbi, but Wu Jue knew more that Qingzhou City had fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and the people in Qingzhou City were the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the fire in Qingzhou City must be rescued in time.

Simply the fire broke out during the day, and when it was evening, the fire in the city gradually extinguished, and there were not many casualties, Wu Jue asked people to set up tents outside the city, so that the people who had lost their homes could live, occupy the city guard mansion by themselves, and clean up the mess after the war.

"The 50,000 army has lost more than 10,000 people, and the cavalry has only 5,000 people left, and the losses are heavy, the next step is to attack Qizhou, do you think we still have the energy to clean up the mess?" Wu Jue looked at the military map in front of him and said with some hesitation.

"Wanyan Zongbi fled back to Qizhou, with only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, plus Qizhou soldiers and horses, at most 30,000 people, we still have more than 30,000 people, if you recruit soldiers and horses along the way, you may not be able to fight with one of them, occupy Qingzhou, I believe that the righteous army of Ludi will definitely take refuge in us, the general can send a message, where the righteous army of Ludi must lead the army to Qingzhou within ten days, otherwise, it will be punished according to the betrayal of the nation." Hua Rong thought for a while and said.

"At the moment, we can only do this, we only have 40,000 people left, and we want to threaten the enemy on the Eastern Front and make the enemy think that the main force is on our side, only by recruiting soldiers and horses and making a big noise can it be possible to attract the enemy's attention and attract the enemy's attention from the Daimyo's Mansion to Ludi." Wu Jue nodded and said to Wu Lu: "Immediately issue an order, ordering all the rebels in Ludi to come to Qingzhou and accept the reorganization of the imperial court, otherwise, the army will be overwhelmed and wiped out." ”

"Yes." Wu Lan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the secretary office of the army to prepare a document and spread it to Ludi.

"I've been here for ten days, and I don't know when Your Majesty is going to do it. At this time, I am afraid that the Seed Master Dao or Boyan has already sent troops, and the Jin people will definitely choose a direction for key defense. Liang Zhong was a little worried, many things would happen in ten days, once Li Jing's troops and horses were dispatched, they would be discovered by the enemy, and Wanyan Zonghan would definitely lead the army to keep an eye on Li Jing.

"Tell Your Majesty about our situation here quickly, and ask Your Majesty to temporarily stop attacking the Daimyo's Mansion, or rather, please appoint a general to temporarily command the army and attack the Daimyo's Mansion, as long as Your Majesty's Daimyo's Mansion does not appear, you can temporarily confuse the enemy." Wu Jue thought for a while and said.

Liang Zhong and the others glanced at each other, and asked Li Jing not to send troops for the time being, this is a big deal, not anyone can decide, according to the order given at the beginning, whether it is Wu Jue, Boyan, or even the Dao of the Plant, they must quickly cross the Yellow River and directly attack the land of Hebei to create opportunities for Li Jing.

"I'm afraid of this matter on Your Majesty's side." Liang Zhong was a little worried.

"Your Majesty has a problem when he formulates the battle plan, since there is a problem, then it has to be changed, Your Majesty can certainly fight on the battlefield, but commanding the army to fight, I'm afraid it's still a little worse, he forgot the strength of the enemy this time, and the strength of the army is uneven, so there will be this situation." Wu Jue shook his head.

"General Wu, you are really bold, you dare to say such a thing, you must know that there are many secret guards in the army." Hua Rong couldn't help but glance at Wu Jue.

"What do I Wu Jue say, I will not change my admiration for Your Majesty, but I also have to say a word or two about the situation of the war, otherwise, even if I am reprimanded by Your Majesty, it will be better than the failure of the Northern Expedition, at that time, there will be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers killed in battle." Wu Jue shook his head and said, "Your Majesty's final blow is certainly correct, but if the other three teams can't delay the speed of the Jin army's march as much as possible, let the more powerful Jin army divide their forces. ”

"I'm afraid this matter depends on His Majesty's thoughts!" Liang Zhong was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm afraid that this matter still needs to be written by the general himself." ”

"Okay." Wu Jue thought about it and decided to write to Li Jing in person.

On the bank of the Yellow River, Li Jing was dressed in civilian clothes, accompanied by Zhao Ding and Gongsun Sheng, Li Jing was holding a fishing rod in his hand, but he looked very relaxed.

"Your Majesty, why did you stop here when you led the army out of Beijing?" Gongsun Sheng looked at Li Jing's appearance, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Some people say that my marching strategy is wrong, and this is not the right time to go north." Li Jing looked at the Yellow River in the distance and said with a smile: "So I decided to wait here for a while." Wait! ”

Zhao Ding and Gongsun Sheng's faces changed, Li Jing was almost invincible in the world, no one had ever said that Li Jing was like this, but I didn't expect to say that Li Jing's strategy was wrong, who was so bold.

"Your Majesty, who is so bold?" Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but ask: "It's really bold not to put His Majesty's holy decree in his eyes." ”

"As long as what is said is reasonable, there is nothing wrong with it, as long as it is beneficial to the Northern Expedition, it will be said, and what the other party said is not unreasonable." Li Jing said with a smile: "Wu Jue, although he has submitted to my Tang Dynasty, his military literacy is still very good, and what he said makes sense." ”

"Your Majesty, you?" Zhao Ding's face was stunned when he heard this.

"Wu Jue is a talent and a qualified commander, but he is only a commander, and what he controls is only a local battlefield, but if you want to fight the Northern Expedition, I am afraid it is not a simple matter." Li Jing shook his head, asked someone to take the sword and handed it to Zhao Ding on the side, and said, "Seeing that this sword is given to Zhu Wu, let Zhu Wu lead 100,000 imperial forest troops to attack the Daimyo's Mansion." ”

Zhao Ding was very surprised that Li Jing was wearing a sword, he didn't know what Li Jing meant at the moment, he glanced at Gongsun Sheng, and saw that Gongsun Sheng's face was calm, and he immediately knew that Li Jing might have discussed it with Gongsun Sheng a long time ago, but he didn't know why Li Jing would make a decision next time.

"Your Majesty let Zhu Wu lead the army to fight, Your Majesty?" Zhao Ding couldn't help but ask.

"I naturally have my plans." Li Jing shook his head and said: "Whether it is Wanyan Zonghan or Wanyan Zongbi, they will not believe that I Li Jing will give up this Northern Expedition, if I don't send troops, their last troops will not be killed from the Northeast, what I need this time is to transfer all the soldiers and horses of the Jin people from the Northeast, either in Youzhou or in Hebei." This makes it easier for us to take the next step. I forgot to tell you that Lu Shisang had personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses to wait for me in Banqiao Town, Jiaodong. ”

Zhao Ding suddenly understood in his heart that in fact, Li Jing probably had a battle plan, and the so-called Wu Jue's suggestions were actually in Li Jing's consideration, otherwise, Lu Shisang would probably need ten days and half a month to rush from Liuqiu to Banqiao Town, where could he wait until now?
