Chapter 154: The Wind Rises

I heard him sneering! Head irritated. The cup is not warm to the old in Jurchen language: "Prince Langjun, the closer you are to the war." The more you need to be cautious, otherwise you will make a mistake and lose the whole game. Guo Yaoshi first served in Liao, then turned his back to Liao to Song, and then abandoned Song Benjin, which shows that he turned his face without grace and was extremely treacherous, and such people cannot be reused. He is anxious to make meritorious service now, so he encourages the prince to think twice.

Abnormal cardiac attire at this time. Last year, he was blocked from going south, making him hate the Yellow River. This time he made a comeback, and he made a vow before he set out on the expedition. Break Tokyo! Now is a perfect opportunity, the Song army wants to ambush me, and he will definitely come out. If I can annihilate the main force of the Song army outside the city, then how is Tokyo different from an empty city? I have enough food and grass on the left and right, as long as I defeat the ambush division, I will build a wide range of equipment, and make every effort to capture the city, and when the army of Muhan on the west road crosses the river, the world will be decided.

But what Wang Ne said is not unreasonable. When the beast is poor, it is common sense, and when the tiger in the mountains and forests is injured and dying, it will often gather the last strength to strike a fatal blow. Da Song is naturally not a tiger, but there is a curtain like Xu Wei for him to open his teeth and claws in front of him, don't be careless and let the little tiger scratch his face full of injuries.

"I ask you, when you come back. Have you ever seen the Song army move? "It's better to decide to be cautious. The war has reached the last moment, and we should guard against arrogance and rashness.

"The prince, he is in the city. It has been seen that the Song army's infantry and cavalry are frequently transferred. After escaping from the city, he didn't dare to get too close to Gu Songling. But along the way, I saw hoof prints all over the ground, and footprints were dense.

He replied.

Separation does not hear words, and changes color. slapped his palm on the table in front of him and shouted, "Then you said that you have inspected the terrain of Lone Pine Ridge?"

After listening to the explanation. Hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "It's true, it's really the villain who heard about it in the city, and he didn't see it with his own eyes." But it is true that there are traces of the march of the army on the road, and the villain dares to use the head of the person on the item as a guarantee! ”

Wang Ne immediately seized the opportunity. Jin Yan said: "Prince, this person's words are contradictory, and you can't be convinced."

When Guo Yaoshi heard this, he secretly cursed in his heart, and also said: "Prince, the reason why this person is pretending to be called. I think it's greedy. But he has been my subordinate for many years and can be trusted. If the prince has doubts, he can send the forward Tabai to reconnoiter first. ”

"Pass on my military order, and order the former army to release the ranger reconnaissance in Bai, one is to spy on the movements of the Song army, and the other is to inspect the terrain of Lone Pine Ridge. The whole army rested on the spot and put in order to prepare for a big war". Without thinking for a while, he ordered loudly. This is only 60 miles to Tokyo, and there are more than 30 miles to Lone Pine Ridge, although the road is muddy, according to the southerners. It takes less than an hour to get back and forth. Or listen clearly before acting.

After the order was issued, all the generals went out of the account to prepare, leaving Guo Yaoshi and a Jin general and a Han official alone.

Coming to the tent and overlooking the suburbs of Tokyo, the second prince of Jin Guo was full of ambition, and pointed to Tokyo with his hand: "The mountains and rivers of the Southern Dynasty are so splendid. Zhao Song can't keep it, according to them, it means that the destiny of heaven belongs to my gold, what do you think? ”

After listening to the explanation, Pharmacist Guo smiled and said: "What the prince said is very true, Zhao and Song have been established for more than 160 years, the country has ended, and the number of qi has been exhausted. ”

He smiled, the light in his eyes grew, and suddenly he turned back and looked directly at him. He asked in a deep voice: "If Tokyo is broken, then all the rivers will be mine, what should I do?" ”

Guo Yaoshi was stunned when he heard this, the second prince was far-sighted, and Dong Zhuo Weike had already thought of governing the plundered land in this way. Let's be honest. I have never thought about this question, if according to the custom of the southerners, whoever occupies a city and a place should also appoint military officers and emcees to administer the administration. But the Jurchens are good at attacking and fighting, and they are not good at managing politics and the people. Moreover, there are only hundreds of thousands of Jurchen people, and there are more than 10 million people in the Great Song Dynasty? Hundreds of thousands of people want to rule over hundreds of millions of people, and this is indeed a big problem. After thinking for a while, he pushed the question back: "Since the prince Lang has asked his subordinates, he must have made up his mind. ”

He smiled loudly, but sighed again, and said in a deep voice: "I won't tell you the truth, the country has been arguing about this matter for a long time. Sticky Han and others will want to destroy the Song Dynasty, follow the matter of attacking Liao, and collect all their land. However, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is vast and the number of people is really unimaginable. My Jurchen started in the mountains and forests, and it has only been 12 years since I cut down Liao. If you talk about fighting the world. Who else is me? I can rule the world, not my strength. In addition, after years of using soldiers, there were many casualties, and after breaking through the north of Tokyo, I should rest and recuperate, but the land that has been returned with both hands can not be returned. And I want to be peaceful for a few years, and there will be no more storms and waves in the land of the two rivers, and this problem is imminent

Pharmacist Guo was silent, and General Jin, who had been listening to the side, suddenly said something. This person is the commander of the six roads in the Jin army. The name is lazy, and the Han name is Yanchang. attacked the Song Dynasty twice, both under the command of the second prince. Unlike the Jurchens, who were always tall, this man was no more than seven feet long, with a wide forehead and a high nose, and dense tendrils, but he was mild in nature and got along well with his colleagues of all ethnic groups, especially with Guo Yaoshi.

"The meaning of the capital is that when Tokyo is broken, there is no need to kill and capture the Song Emperor, and it is still placed in Beijing, retaining the emperor's honorific title, and the party under the control of my Dajin. Just cut the army, call the children to pay taxes, whatever my Jurchen needs, can be taken from the Southern Dynasty. And the general of the detachment army was stationed in the south, so that they could get along for a long time. Han Guan explained.

When Pharmacist Guo heard this, he was amazed! I thought that the Jurchens would only fight on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to have such knowledge! The Jurchen tribe is only a few hundred thousand people, and if they want to forcibly govern the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty, they will definitely not be able to do it, and it is the best policy to control the south with the south! It's just that he was lazy and robbed of the limelight, which made him feel a little bit apprehensive, thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "The minister still has a strategy, the prince can follow the example of the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty, and make Zhao Song enter the clan to make peace with the family, so that many problems can be covered up, so that the southerners will happily forget."

I was overjoyed after I didn't hear about it! When Tokyo is broken, immediately explain this matter to Emperor Jin, and you can't use the strategy of sticky Han and others! If you have to kidnap and kill the two emperors of Zhao and Song and take over the place, it will only provoke the southerners to revolt, and at that time, it will really be a beacon of fire, and it will be endless every year. If the Golden Emperor uses my words. Not only is the Great Song Dynasty no different from the lost country, but it is also very beneficial to my Jurchen! For a while, I was full of confidence. Sticky Han has not crossed the Yellow River so far, and he has lost to me, and it is expected that he will not be able to speak after returning to the north. After a while of discussion, he left the lazy pharmacist to eat in the tent, and before he could finish eating, the news had been sent back from the front army. It is said that the Lone Pine Ridge is located between the Bianqu and the Wuzhang River, there are valleys on both sides to cover, and the flat land in the middle is about 100 zhang long and wide, and can pass 10,000 troops. However, the entrance from east to west is narrow and easy to retreat. If you want to get around, you need to go down the Bianqu, which is very inconvenient. This place is indeed an excellent place for ambushes. Inevitably startled the grass and snakes, the soldiers did not dare to get too close, but looking at the valleys on both sides, they saw that the birds did not fall into the forest.

If the bird does not fall into the forest, there will be an ambush!

After listening to the intelligence. The two of them looked at the second prince and the sixth prince with a cold expression, threw the unfinished meat and bones in their hands, and slowly got up, their eyes were fixed in the direction of Tokyo! Stretch out your right hand. Putting on the handle of the knife, the second prince bit his teeth and pulled it out! I saw the sound of the dragon groaning, and the scimitar was unsheathed!

The two of them got up at the same time and urged them to march into the army!

"Prince Lang! Since the Song army has set up an ambush, it will attack my main force! Xia Chen suggested that the front army should be ordered to go first and pass through the ambush range of the Song army. The subordinates commanded the weak brigade behind and pretended to be the main force. The prince personally mentioned the tiger and wolf tailgating! Once the former army passed. The Song army will attack our department, and at that time, the front army will attack back, and the prince will advance violently. I broke through in the center again. Make the Song army suffer from the enemy! In this way, great things can be done." Pharmacist Guo was so excited that he trembled a little when he spoke.

Is it just him? The hand of the lord who did not hold the knife also trembled slightly, this battle will determine whether the second attack on Song can be fully defeated! Although the Song army is numerous, it has nothing to show for it, like a local chicken and tile dog! If it weren't for the unbearable roads. I'm only eight thousand riders. It can break its 100,000 people!

At the moment, in accordance with Guo Yaoshi's plan, he ordered the front army to go first, and ordered Guo Yaoshi to command 20,000 weak cavalry, pretend to be the main force under the banner of the prince, and follow behind by more than 10,000 elites in his own hands.

"Command the whole army! Have a full meal and start your troops! Break Tokyo, die Zhao Song, in one fell swoop! "Command. The three armies are thundering! The Jurchen warriors are gearing up and eager to try, ready to fight a vigorous battle! When Tokyo is broken, it has its own gold and silver like mountains, and beauty is like clouds! Just ask the world, who else dares to block the Jurchen edge?

At the same time, Qi County.

The defenders of the county are confident and high morale today! All because Qixian is the brunt of it, successively attacked by the Jin army several times, Zhang Xian led the troops to defend to the death, several times the Jin army has climbed the city tower, if it is not for him to take the lead, stubborn counterattack, Qixian may have fallen. But today, they all commanded Xu Wei to personally command the army. Not only are there Yang Yan's heavily armored foot soldiers, but there is also a huge cavalry! Since the soldiers of the Hujie Township Army joined the army. But I had never seen so many cavalry. Nearly 20,000 troops marched into this small county town, both military and civilian. It's all in the eye. Could it be that the commander of the capital is going to fight a decisive battle with the Jinren?

"Zhang Xian, well done!" After Xu Wei entered the city, he saw that the officers and soldiers performed their duties in an orderly manner, and knew that Zhang Xian lived up to expectations, so he did not hesitate to praise him.

Zhang Xian accompanied him all the way into the city, and after hearing this, he was not modest, and directly put forward the question in his heart: "All the commanders, you are" Not only did the commanders come, but also Wu Jie, Yang Yan, Ma Tai, Du Feihu, Li Guan and others, in addition. There are a few generals who don't recognize it, what is the intention of such a large formation? And that huge cavalry, where did it come from? Xu Wei didn't answer. Directly stepped into the county yazheng hall. Behind him, the generals rushed in, accompanied by the magistrate of Qixian County. Please Xu Wei take a seat, and after a humble resignation, Xu Wei sat in the lobby and ordered the generals to sit down. Time. The armor is sonorous. The sword sounded, and the county hall was in a solemn atmosphere! See the county. I also feel full of confidence, so many soldiers and horses are stationed in our county. Why worry about husband? And Xiao Xu Guanren Purple Mountain became famous in the first battle, and the government and the opposition were praised as "generals" are really young heroes, the Great Wall of the country!

Xu Wei sat on the top and looked around at the generals, his expression was calm, and his eyes flashed. All the generals also looked at him, unobtrusive, waiting for orders. Taking a deep breath, Xu Wei suppressed the excitement in his heart, today's events will determine the success or failure of this resistance to the enemy, the fate of Tokyo, and his own honor and disgrace, the rise and fall of the Xu family. If you win, you will turn things around, and if you lose, you will never recover, and you can't afford to lose.

The Jurchen people's combat strength is far above that of the Song army, and although the Hujie Township Army has been practicing for a long time, after all, it has not been in battle formation, so it is passively defensive. It will be very passive, and it will not be allowed by the imperial court. Therefore, you can only go off the beaten path and win in danger! Take a gamble!

"The generals will obey!" A tiger roar resounded through the lobby.

"In! A group of generals responded with a bang.

"Today's events. The stakes are so important that I won't repeat them. Hereon. Only reaffirm military law! This battle, but there is a fear of the enemy and does not advance. Those who do not retreat from the battle, escape from the battle, and delay the fighter, no matter who it is, will not be spared! ”

Xu Sheng ranked first. Seeing that the younger brother of his mother's compatriots, who was only twenty years old, controlled so many generals. and very majestic, terrifying", he was very proud, and he couldn't help but shout in unison with the generals: "Obey!" ”

Xu Wei nodded slowly. After a little hesitation, he immediately ordered: "After nightfall, all departments will have a full meal." Please ask Lord Xu and Yulongzhi to lead 2,000 cavalry, more than 3,000 cavalry of the Hujie Township Army, and 2,000 cavalry of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. The title of the horse is bound, and the body of the horse is muddy, as a pioneer!

"Order!" Xu Sheng and the two members of the team will get up and hug their fists.

Xu Wei got up and returned the salute. Continue to deploy: "Wu Jie led 3,000 archers and 1,000 foot soldiers, bringing firearms and firewood. Marching with the cavalry. ”

"Order!" Wu Jie got up and answered.

"Yang Yan, lead the three thousand heavy armor and Du Feihu to follow my palace. If the offensive does not go well, immediately enter the battle. If all goes well, be prepared. Li Guan, more careful to explore the wind along the way, once there is a change, then the sound of the warning.

The three of them stood up to take orders. After the arrangements were made, he sent everyone to leave the office, and Xu Wei was still sitting behind the case, thoughtfully, and caught a glimpse of a person still in the hall. But it's Zhang Wu

"Something?" Xu Wei asked.

Zhang Xian's face turned pale. Hurry up and come forward, kneeling down and bowing: "All commanders!" Each general has a task, so why should he be left alone? Invite you to fight! ”

Xu Wei smiled deliberately: "I brought 20,000 horse infantry troops, all of which came in handy, but there were no soldiers."

"There is no need to command the troops to increase, and the two thousand foot soldiers of the subordinate department will go out of the city, please give the order." Zhang Xian shouted loudly.

Xu Wei got up from behind the case, stepped forward to help him up and said, "Okay! You ordered you to lead 2,000 foot soldiers to protect the Wu-rank archers! ”

Zhang Xian listened. Qi County is at the forefront of the military defense area of Hujie Township, and it has always been the most heroic and arduous, but now the commander has ordered me to protect Wu Jie? It's not,

Seeing that his face was embarrassed. Xu Wei said in a deep voice: "What? Not happy? ”

Zhang Xian was stunned. Hurriedly bowed: "Don't dare!" Obedience! ”

Pat him on the shoulder. Xu Wei said: "Don't underestimate this errand. You have to fight. Zhang Xian took the order again.

Out of the yamen lobby. Standing under the eaves and looking to the east, Xu Wei subconsciously touched the armor on his chest, where the letter that the Seed Master Dao gave him before he died.

"Victory or defeat, here in one fell swoop.
