Chapter 293: Unlucky Qi State

"I have no intention of attacking the Great Song Dynasty, so after hearing that Marshal Yue came to Dengzhou, he immediately rushed back from the Xia Kingdom and came to Luoyang, afraid that the two sides would have a conflict. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Speaking of this, Zhao Shuo sighed. "But I'm still late, the Zhejia army guarding Luoyang is worried that Marshal Yue will be ineffective in Luoyang, so they sent a team to inquire about the news, and as a result, the two sides clashed, it's all my fault."

Zhao Shuo's initiative to admit his mistake greatly surprised Yue Fei, and it was Yue Fei's personal order to arrange people to prevent Luoyang soldiers and horses from coming to spy on them.

This time, Zhao Gou's will to Yue Fei was to go all the way north, and after taking Xiangzhou and Dengzhou, wait for the opportunity to take Luoyang, and then the army marched westward, captured Chang'an, and wiped out Zhao Shuo in one fell swoop.

In the past, Yue Fei was not willing to fight with Zhao Shuo because Zhao Shuo had been fighting against the Jin State, the barbarians of the Yellow Head Uighurs, guarding the territory and people of the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, he didn't want to start a war with Zhao Shuo, thinking that such a war was very unwise and untimely.

But the imperial court already had a will, and Yue Fei couldn't disobey it, so he ordered to strictly prevent the soldiers of the Luoyang generation from coming to spy on the news.

He has already prepared with both hands, if the Zhejia army is extremely strong, it is unwise for the two sides to fight, but if the Zhejia army is exaggerated, then take the opportunity to take Luoyang, as for the attack on Chang'an, it depends on the situation at that time.

After that ambush, Yue Fei knew that the Zhejia army was worthy of its name and was very strong. Then Zhao Shuo suddenly arrived, and as soon as he arrived, he made a move against the Qi army, which was really unexpected by Yue Fei, so he sent Yue Yun to attack, first, he wanted to be a yellow finch and reap the benefits of the fisherman, and secondly, he also wanted to see Zhao Shuo's command tactics, but he made a mistake again, because Yue Yun had not yet arrived at the battlefield, he ran into Lin Feng who came to inquire about the news. Yue Yun and Lin Feng fought, and they were comparable, and then Lin Feng asked Yue Yun to bring back the words that made him extremely uneasy - the Battle of Chang'an.

In the battle of Chang'an, the Qi army occupied an absolute advantage, but Zhao Shuoda was powerless to fight back, and in the end, the 50,000 army was almost completely annihilated.

Of course, let Yue Fei fight, he can also defeat the Qi army, what he cares about is not the outcome of the war, but the factors that affect the outcome - small cannonballs.

At the beginning, Wan Yan Gao relied on this secret weapon to fight all the way from Yan'an Mansion to Zhongdu, if it weren't for the insufficient number of small cannonballs in the later period, it would be difficult to say who would have died between Wan Yan Gao and Wan Yan Wu Qimai.

After listening to Zhao Shuo's words today, Yue Fei guessed that Wan Yan Gao's final defeat should have a lot to do with Zhao Shuo.

If this guess is accurate, then Zhao Shuo is too terrible.

With such an enemy, Yue Fei has no certainty of victory, plus how many small cannonballs Zhao Shuo has in his hands, Yue Fei is not sure, if Zhao Shuo has tens of thousands, even if he leads an army of 150,000 to win Zhao Shuo, but how many people can survive in the end?

If the Yuejia army suffered heavy losses, what should the Great Song Dynasty do if the Jin army went south in the future?

Many thoughts flashed through Yue Fei's mind, which made him make up his mind that he couldn't go to war with Zhao Shuo.

"I heard from the prince just now that he was rushed back from the Xia Kingdom, this ......" Yue Fei decided not to start a war with Zhao Shuo, and asked another question of concern at this moment.

"I have established a military alliance with the Xia Kingdom." Zhao Shuo laughed. "If Marshal Yue makes a move against me, the Xia Kingdom will immediately send troops to rescue."

Zhao Shuo's half-joking words made Yue Fei's heart tremble. If this is true, then Song Ruo will be even more unwise to make a move on Zhao Shuo.

"The prince didn't laugh!"

"I can't hide it." Zhao Shuo smiled and said. "Besides, there's no need to hide that Marshal Yue isn't."

Seeing that Yue Fei was still skeptical, Zhao Shuo said again. "The battle of Longyou, the defeat of the Yellow Head Uighurs, the Xia State has merit, and this matter should spread after a while."

Yue Fei was silent for a while, then laughed. Originally, he didn't start a war with Zhao Shuo, but he couldn't think of a reason to convince Zhao Gou, but now that Western Xia and Zhao Shuo have formed a military alliance, isn't there a reason for this!

"The marshal is happy for me?" Seeing Yue Fei chuckling, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but ask.

"Not only for the prince, but also for the Song Dynasty." Yue Fei said.

Yue Fei's words made Zhao Shuo deeply admired. He pondered for a while, and felt that his plan could be implemented at this time.

"Marshal Yue, although you didn't say some things explicitly, I can also guess that if you don't go to war, how will you reply to my uncle?"

"It's not a matter of bothering the prince, I'll figure it out." Yue Fei replied.

"Relying on a military alliance between me and Western Xia alone, I'm afraid my uncle won't be too satisfied." Zhao Shuo looked at Yue Fei. "The marshal's goal is to welcome back the Second Sage, which is very perverse to my uncle's place. He would never let the marshal achieve his goal. ”

Zhao Shuo didn't say it explicitly, but Yue Fei understood as soon as he heard it, Zhao Shuo was reminding him.

"Lord Wang, the two saints are all close relatives to the prince, doesn't the prince want to welcome them back?" Yue Fei didn't follow Zhao Shuo's words, but gave Zhao Shuo a problem.

"Marshal, you're giving me another problem." Zhao Shuo shook his head and sighed softly. "Don't hide it from the prince, the soldiers and horses under my command, counting the Fuzhou Folding Army, are more than 100,000, such a few people, relying on small cannonballs, to protect themselves, but if you want to expedition to the Jin country, you really have more than enough heart and not enough strength."

"So, does the prince have the idea of welcoming back the two saints?" Yue Fei asked out loud.

Hearing Yue Fei's question, Zhao Shuo pondered for a while before nodding. "If one day the marshal welcomes back the two saints, and my uncle is not happy to provide for them, I am willing to let them accept them, and the land of the Three Qins, I am also willing to hand it over to them to manage."

Zhao Shuo said sincerely, although Yue Fei was suspicious, it was not good to ask again.

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Zhao Shuo saw that Yue Fei finally stopped asking, and hurriedly pulled the topic back. "Today, I would like to make a suggestion to the marshal, is it noncommittal?"

"Lord Wang, please speak." Yue Fei made a gesture of please.

"The marshal took Xiangzhou and Dengzhou, and the original goal should be Luoyang, but now ......" Zhao Shuo pointed at Yue Fei, pointed at himself, smiled, and did not say it explicitly. I suggest that the marshal can divide the troops into two ways and attack Tangzhou and Shouzhou, where the defense of the Qi army is weak, and the marshal can capture it without much effort, and then you write a notebook, saying that I have formed an alliance with the Western Xia, and the defense of Luoyang is impregnable, and you have done a protracted war, and the people of Tangzhou and Shouzhou miss their homeland and come to ask for help, and you sent a team of men and horses to rescue the people there in order to promote the imperial grace of my uncle, and ask my uncle to punish you for not attacking Luoyang effectively. ”

Yue Fei thought for a while, then smiled. "Good scheme, good scheme, with the two scapegoats of Tangzhou and Shouzhou, I don't think Your Majesty will say anything more."
