"Counter-attacking Shaanxi?" Whether it was Qu Duan, Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu or Wang Shu, they were all taken aback!

"What? Any questions? Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchen army is strong, and it is known as invincible! Since the Jurchen invasion, Weichen has been thinking that we should lurk for ten to twenty years, use ten to twenty years to develop a strong army, and then fight the Jurchens! Qu Duan said.

The end of the curve is still the idea of "saving strength"!

Historically, Qu Duan has always insisted on "preserving strength", Zhang Jun served as the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu at that time, and ordered Qu Duan to send troops, Qu Duan actually violated the yang and the yin, and delayed the fighter in order to "preserve strength"! In the end, Zhang Jun couldn't bear it anymore and killed Qu Duan!

Now, he still said such things!

"Ten to twenty years, how could I have waited that long? If we have the opportunity, we can counterattack the Jurchens at any time! Think about it, is this an opportunity? Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Zhe, Wang Shu and the others all fell into deep thought, and after a while, Wang Shu said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed an opportunity!" Guan Shaanxi is empty, we can indeed counterattack Shaanxi! It's just that the real power of women is really strong, and we must be prepared to make great sacrifices! In addition, Your Majesty, we have just experienced a rebellion that can be supposed, and the hearts of the people in the country have not yet been settled, can we really counterattack the Jurchens now? ”

Zhao Chen said: "The hearts of the people in China have not yet settled, I naturally know this!" I just want to stabilize people's hearts with a victory! If we can succeed in tackling the offensive and defeat the Jurchens, the uncertainty of people's hearts caused by the chaos will naturally disappear! Do you think so? ”

Wang Shu was stunned, nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right!" But victory is good, but if it is defeat, what should we do? If it fails, people's hearts will be even more unstable! ”

Zhao Chen said: "So we have to carefully study the situation and investigate it carefully, and then we can use troops!" First, we need to know whether the Jurchens are really going south, and second, we need to know how many soldiers and horses there are in Guanshan if they go south! The third is to understand whether we can defeat these soldiers! ”

Wang Shu thought for a long time and nodded lightly!

Zhao Zhe said: "Your Majesty, our Song army and the Jurchens have never won a war!" The last time General Wu was able to win, it was because he had the advantage of terrain, and at that time, General Wu was mainly defending against the Jurchens! If I take the initiative to attack the Jurchens, I am really a little worried! ”

Zhao Chen said: "Don't worry! Even if the Jurchens are powerful, let's use more soldiers and horses! They have 10,000 people, let's use 100,000 people, I don't believe we can't beat them! The Jurchen barbarians are eyeing us, we can't never use force against them because they are powerful, right? If it's really an opportunity now, it must not be given up! ”

After a long time, Zhao Zhe also nodded!

During this period, Qu Duan stopped talking, Qu Duan knew that he had just taken refuge in Zhao Chen, and he was not Zhao Chen's cronies! He felt that Zhao Chen might not be able to listen to what he said!

In Zhao Chen's view, Qu Duan is an indecisive person! Obviously, when the opportunity comes, we have to wait for ten or twenty years, others say that Quduan is a civil and military all-rounder, but unfortunately this civil and military all-round talent has no overall concept! If you wait for ten or twenty years, I am afraid that the Jurchen and King Kang will have to fight for a victory, and they are hiding in Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu just developing, never fighting with the enemy, and have no combat experience, and when they encounter the army of the Jurchen and King Kang, they are afraid that they are not opponents! Therefore, you must make a move when it's time to make a move, even if it's to increase your engagement experience!

There is another reason why Zhao Chen wants to seize this opportunity, he wants to know if his training method is really useful! He wanted to see if the initiatives he had implemented really worked!

Only through a real war can all this be tested, and the shortcomings can be discovered!

So, he desperately wants this battle to happen!

*** ***

Qu Duan originally wanted to go directly to Hanzhong to meet Zhao Chen through the Dasan Pass, but Zhao Chen is now in the Dasan Pass, so he naturally can't leave the Dasan Pass by himself!

Qu Duan was depressed, he was originally a general with 100,000 heavy soldiers, but now he has nothing! He only has the title of "Privy Envoy", and this Privy Envoy is logically much higher than the original Jingyuan Road Envoy, which is the highest military governor of the country! But he also heard that Zhao Chen set up a military aircraft department, and the important military information on the frontier was sent to the military aircraft department, and the Privy Council was only responsible for food, grass, heavy weapons, and other cumbersome things, and the specific strategy no longer involved the Privy Council! It is even more impossible for the Privy Council to control the frontier army!

"That's it, I've been in the army for more than 20 years, and it's time to take a break! I don't care how Your Majesty and the Jurchens fight, no matter how Your Majesty and King Kang fight! As long as I can live well! Qu Duan said secretly.

He didn't have any ambitions, and when he was in Jingyuan City, he only thought about "self-preservation"! At this moment, he has lost all his troops, and he has no ambitions, and he just wants to "protect himself"!

"What is General Qu thinking?" Qu Duan was standing on the city wall, and at this time, a gentle voice came from behind!

Qu Duan hurriedly turned around and was about to kneel, but Zhao Chen had already stepped forward to support him, and said, "No need to be polite!" In fact, there is no kneeling in the forbidden army now! I'm going to abolish the kneeling in the whole army! ”

Qu Duan was stunned and said, "How can this be?" ”

Zhao Chen said: "Why not? It's okay to train in peacetime, but if it's on the march, the subordinates have to bow down when they see their bosses, which won't delay time, delay the military situation, and even affect victory or defeat! ”

Qu Duan said: "But this will affect the prestige of Your Majesty and all the officials!" ”

Zhao Chen smiled: "This majesty is not by kneeling!" If I can defeat the Jurchens, I will naturally have infinite prestige! If the Shangguan loves the soldiers and loves the soldiers like children, the soldiers will naturally respect the Shangguan, what does this have to do with bowing? ”

Qu Duan's brows were furrowed, still unacceptable! He is conservative in his thinking, he has been in Jingyuan for more than 20 years, and in his opinion, everything is the best now, and any change is difficult to accept! But thinking that he didn't have much power now, Qu Duan sighed and didn't say more!

"What's upset about General Qu?" Zhao Chen said.

"It's just that I'm in a bad mood when I leave my hometown!" Qu Duan Dao.

"General Qu is because he lost the army in his hands, right?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"Ahh Wechen never dared to have such an idea! Qu Duan said.

"It's nothing that you have such thoughts! If I were you, I wouldn't be happy in my heart! Zhao Chen said.

Qu Duan was silent, indicating that he had acquiesced.

"Do your job as a privy councillor and do your job! In the future, when I fight in the south and the north, I still need you! In the future, you will still have a chance to lead the troops! Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"This ......" Qu Duan shook his head and didn't speak.

He didn't believe Zhao Chen's words, he felt that he was already like this, how could Zhao Chen hand over the army to him again!

Zhao Chen knows that this person Yunwen Yunwu can be regarded as the first person in the Western Army to some extent! In addition to having no ambitions, this person is quite smart! His ability to command battles is only afraid that it is not under Wu Jie and Liu Qi! In the future, I will inevitably use him, so I must say a word to him first, and don't let him be depressed!

It's a pity that Qu Duan didn't understand his kindness, he was just depressed!

Zhao Chen smiled and didn't say more!

*** ***

The next day, Zhao Chen left Dasanguan and went down the mountain!

Soon Zhao Chen came to the forbidden army!

Zhao Chen immediately brought Yue Fei over and discussed with Yue Fei about tackling the problem of attacking Shaanxi!

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that it is feasible to counterattack Shaanxi! The Jurchens were not so terrible, when the last general was in the east of the river, he led only a rebel army with no food and no weapons, and they dared to fight with the Jurchens at that time! Now the strength of the forbidden army is much stronger than the original rebel army, why don't you dare to fight them? Yue Fei said.

"Very good, you are the first person who does not hesitate to support the counterattack against Shaanxi!" Zhao Chen was overjoyed.

"However, we must understand the intentions of the Jurchens! Only after it is determined that the Jurchens will go south to the south of the Yangtze River can we mobilize against the attack on Shaanxi! If the Jurchens don't go south, once we counterattack against Shaanxi and the Jurchen armies in Hedong and Hebei arrive, we are still not their opponents! Yue Fei said.

"You're right! It's still up to you! You contact Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others in Hedong and ask them to keep an eye on the Jurchens carefully to see if the Jurchens really want to attack Jiangnan! Zhao Chen said.

"Good!" Yue Fei nodded and agreed!

"To counter the matter of tackling Shaanxi, we have to discuss it with Li Gang! In addition, I would like to ask Wu Jie's opinion! The war is extremely important, and we need to be cautious, although I am eager to counterattack the attack on Shaanxi, but I will not blindly use troops! Zhao Chen said.
