At this moment, in Zhao Chen's small courtyard, Zhao Chen is catching up with Li Ruoshui, Wang De and others!

Zhao Chen was very happy in his heart, he originally thought that he would never see the two people in front of him again, but he didn't expect to meet them in Tongguan! These two people are ministers who really support themselves, and with them, their strength can be said to have increased a lot! Although there are still a few big cats and kittens next to him, he feels much safer psychologically!

"Lord Li, General Wang, you have come all the way to the west, tell me, will the Jurchens fight to Tongguan?" At this moment, Zhao Chen also asked the same question.

"This ......" Li Ruoshui hesitated for a while and said, "It's hard to say about this matter, and we don't know if they will hit Tongguan!" Logically speaking, it probably won't be, right? The Jurchens began to raise their troops last autumn, and it has been more than half a year now, and they have been fighting for half a year, and the soldiers are also very tired, I think they also need to truce for a period of time now to restore the vitality of the army! ”

"The Jurchen soldiers are indeed inferior to before!" Wang De also nodded.

At this moment, Li Gang, Yue Fei and others were also here, Li Gang thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, everyone, I think the Jurchens will definitely hit Tongguan!" And the speed of their march will be extremely fast, and they will soon come to the bottom of Tongguan! ”

Li Ruoshui was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know?" ”

Li Gang smiled and said, "The Jurchens invaded the south and aimed to destroy the country!" Kaifeng City has been broken, His Majesty and Emperor Taishang have been captured, and most of the royal children have also been captured! It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince escaped, so that the Jurchens' plan to destroy the country was not completed, and they would definitely continue to attack and eliminate His Royal Highness the Prince! That's one of them! In addition, the jade seal of the country was also brought to Tongguan by His Royal Highness the Prince, this jade seal of the country is extremely important, without the jade seal of the country, the Dajin established by the Jurchens has always been a barbarian, and it is never possible to get the support of the scholars north of the Yellow River! Even if it is for the sake of passing on the jade seal of the country, they have to fight to Tongguan, which is the second! ”

After Li Gang finished speaking, Li Ruoshui stayed there, and after a while, Li Ruoshui nodded and said, "Lord Li is right, the Jurchens will come over after all!" What are we going to do? ”

Li Gang thought for a while and said, "For the time being, we will still not be in danger!" Tongguan is steep, Zhe's father and son have a large army here, and it is not a simple matter for the Jurchens to break through Tongguan! ”

Zhao Chen said: "Teacher, at the beginning, Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi led an army of 150,000 to defend the Yellow River, and when the Jurchens arrived, they fled without a fight!" This time, what if they fled without a fight? ”

Li Gang frowned, and after a long time, said, "It shouldn't be!" This Tongguan is the territory of the folded family, which is different from the original Shaanzhou, and it should not be so stupid to give up Tongguan! Tongguan is a big deal, now that you have given up Tongguan, it will be difficult to regain Tongguan in the future! ”

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "I hope so!" ”

In fact, what they didn't know was that Zhi Keqiu and Zhi Yanzhi were now discussing the possible attack of the Jurchens on Tongguan, and their ideas were very different from the ideas of Zhao Chen and the others!

*** ***

Late at night, the room was brightly lit!

At this moment, in addition to Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yan Quality, there is another man in the room, this man is the eldest son of Zhe Keqiu, Zhi Yanwen, this Zhe Yanwen and Zhe Yan are quite different in appearance, and they look very elegant! In fact, although Zhi Yanwen was born in a family of military generals, he had a weak personality, so he never led the troops, but dealt with the affairs of the Zhi family!

The Jurchens may attack Tongguan, and this matter is very important, so I can ask for my eldest son to come over! He knew that although his eldest son had a weak personality, he was quite resourceful, which was better than that of his second son! The second son is brave and unscrupulous, and often can't help when discussing big things!

In the room there is a map with Hedong, Hebei, Henan, and Shaanxi where they are located, and the Yellow River and Tongguan next to it! The direction of the Jurchens' attack is also marked on it, and Zhi Yanwen is watching carefully!

"Father, it looks like the real soldiers are coming to the west! You see, this is Wanyan Lou Room, this is Wanyan Zongwang, this is Wanyan Zongfu, this is Wanyan Wushu, the Jurchen soldiers are all coming to the west in several ways, and the target is not Tongguan, but where is it? Zhi Yanwen said.

"This ...... The northwest is a poor place, there is not much wealth here, there are not many people, far inferior to Lianghuai, Jiangnan and other places, why don't the Jurchens attack those places, but attack the northwest? "Fold, ask.

"Is it because of the crown prince?" Zhi Yanwen said suddenly.

"This ......" Zhe Keqiu stayed there, and Orihiko also stayed there!

"If it's really because of the prince, we might as well send the prince out and give it to the Jurchens!" Orihiko said.

"No! Now everyone in the world knows that the prince is with me, if I give the prince to the Jurchens, then what is the difference between me and betraying the Great Song Dynasty? In the future, I will never be able to gain a foothold in Da Song again! In that case, I might as well surrender to the Jurchens...... When the crown prince arrived a few days ago, we had great ambitions and wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, how could we now give His Royal Highness the prince to the Jurchens because of a small setback! "Fold, ask.

"But, father, the Jurchens are strong, and the clan army is vulnerable, how can we defeat them?" Orihiko said.

"We have the danger of Tongguan, maybe we can stop them, right?" Fold and seek the way.

He was a little hesitant in his heart, not knowing if Tongguan could stop the Jurchens, and at this moment he had the intention of fleeing again, just like the last time he fled without a fight on the bank of the Yellow River!

He is good at bullying the weak, like Zhao Chen, the young prince, in his opinion, it is a tool that he can bully and use wantonly, but he is afraid of being strong, the Jurchens are stronger than him, and he doesn't even have the courage to fight! This is the northwest barrier of the Great Song Dynasty, which has guarded the northwest prefecture for more than 500 years! By now, they have begun to decay from the roots! How could such a general, such an army be an opponent of the Jurchens?

The two of them are discussing here, Zhi Yanwen has been frowning and thinking hard, and when he heard the two of them finish discussing, Zhi Yanwen said: "Father, second brother, I have a plan, maybe I can use it to resist Jin Bing!" ”

He asked for a quick way to know that this son was smart, and hurriedly said, "What plan?" Tell me about it! ”

Zhi Yanwen said: "Father, hasn't Yao Gu always been greedy for Tongguan? Let's just give Tongguan to Yao Gude! In addition to Tongguan, let's give Chang'an City to Yao Gu! ”

Yao Gu is also a general of the Western Army, and the Yao Family Army is also a major faction of the Western Army! When the Jurchens went south for the first time the year before last, Yao Gu once led the army to King Qin, and his subordinates suffered serious losses at that time, but even so, he still had more than 50,000 troops under his command, and they were all quite elite!

Before Zhi Keqiu could speak, Zhi Yanzhi was already furious and said, "Big brother, you are confused!" Tongguan and Chang'an are our footholds, how can they be given to Yao Gu's boy? ”

The water quality is compromised, but he laughed and said, "Good strategy, good strategy!" It's a two-pronged solution! ”

Zhi Yan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Two birds with one stone? What do you mean by that? ”

Zhe Keqiu said with some dissatisfaction: "Yan Qian, you have to learn from your brother well!" Now that you are in the army, these more than 100,000 troops will always be handed over to you in the future, but you have the courage and no strategy, but this will not work! Yanwen, tell him why it kills two birds with one stone! ”

Zhi Yanwen nodded and said: "We will give Tongguan and Chang'an to Yao Gu, let the Yao family army garrison here, and when the Jurchens arrive, the Yao family army will be responsible for resisting the Jurchens!" When the time comes, the Yao family army will suffer heavy losses, and the Jurchens will also be blocked, isn't this killing two birds with one stone? ”

Only then did Zhi Yanzhi understand, and said with a smile: "I see, the eldest brother is still smart, and the younger brother admires it!" It's just that we can give Tongguan to Yao Gu, why do we have to give Chang'an to Yao Gu? ”

Chang'an is the most important city in the northwest, and it was the ancient capital of several dynasties before the Song Dynasty! It's just that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Huangchao uprising, Chang'an was burned, and until the Song Dynasty, Chang'an was never able to restore its former prosperity! Regardless, the strategic location is still very important! When the planter was there, this was the station of the plantation army, and then the plantation army was annihilated, so he took the opportunity to occupy it! Now that Zhi Yanwen wants to give up here, Zhi Yanzhi is very puzzled in his heart!

Zhi Yanwen said: "I'm afraid that Tongguan won't be able to stop the Jurchens, so I need Chang'an!" The Yao family army stationed in these two places may be able to block the Jurchens! When the Jurchens retreat, it is estimated that there will not be many people left in the Yao family's army, and we will take back these two places! ”

Zheyan was full of laughter and said, "Big brother's clever plan, let's do it according to this method!" ”

Zhe Ke begged: "Tomorrow I will send someone to inform Yao Gu!" Let's get out of Tongguan as soon as possible! Also, we have to send someone to find out the situation of the Jurchens, if the Jurchens arrive in Shaanzhou, regardless of whether Yao Gu arrives or not, we will leave! ”

This night, the father and son of the folded family fell asleep for a long time! Zhao Chen, Li Gang and others also discussed for a long time, and it was at this time that they fell asleep!

Tongguan City finally quieted down......
