The Battle of Okiroba obviously affected more than the hundreds of thousands of Song and Jin soldiers and horses involved in the war, or just one Tokyo City. The Luoyang battlefield, which is not far from here, and even the entire Kyushu world, have been deeply shaken.

The battle had only ended shortly after the battle had been completed, and the situation soon spread to Luoyang. It turned out that Liu Ziyu personally led his men and horses to fight with Wanyan Zonghan in Jiyuan and other places, and it was impossible to open the glue.

As soon as the news arrived, it was instantly cold - the golden soldiers withdrew!

Wanyan Zonghan and the others would rather die than believe that their Eastern Route Army and more than 300,000 horses would be defeated overnight. The worst they have done is to fight a "long-term war" and vow not to give up until they take Tokyo.

After finishing Yan Zongwang, the defeat is really weird, so weird that there is no heavenly reason.

More than 300,000 Jurchen elite soldiers, this is the largest war ever waged by the Jin Kingdom. In the past, it was "the Jurchens were less than 10,000, and they were invincible", who would have thought that the Jurchen army with as many as 35 troops and led by Wanyan Zongwang, the first god of war in the Jin Kingdom, would lose in such a short period of time, and there would be no scum left?

This news is not just a heavy blow to the morale of the 300,000 troops under Yan Zonghan's command. The mastermind Shi Liai's first reaction was that the battle could not be fought any longer, and he must immediately change his strategy and use diplomacy to redeem the current defeat as much as possible!

Even if Wan Yan Zonghan and Jin Guobo were extremely unwilling, they would not be able to cross the Yellow River and fly to Tokyo to avenge Wan Yan Zongwang and settle accounts with Chu Tianya.

Sensei said that it was Chu Tianya, but the Liu Ziyu in front of him was not a good stubble. The long Yellow River defense line, which was personally deployed by him and commanded by Bai Xu from behind, did not leak a drop after withstanding the waves of crazy attacks of the Jurchen army.

In recent days, the Jurchens, who are not good at water warfare, have tried their best to kill the Yellow River, but as a result, they have thrown down countless corpses and fallen into the swollen Yellow River to feed the fish and turtles. Originally, the plan of the Jin Kingdom was to step on the Central Plains in winter, so that most of the rivers would freeze, which would be conducive to the gallop of their cavalry. But at that time, they were sniped in Xiaocang Mountain, and it was delayed for a lot of time.

Now it is the flood season of the Yellow River, and the cavalry of the northern country obviously does not have too much precaution against the hydrology of the southern country, otherwise, Wanyan Zongwang would not have set up the soldiers and horses in such a "dead place" in the first place. Wanyan Zongwang originally wanted to spend it until the next winter and fight Liu Ziyu to the death, but now that Zongwang has been defeated, he can't consume it anymore.

"Lord Wolf, it is imperative that we stop this war immediately." Shi Liai came bitterly to persuade Wanyan Zonghan who was in anger, "More than eighty percent of the elite divisions of the Dajin Kingdom were taken out on an expedition by the two marshals, and the country was empty. In less than ten years since the beginning of the Dajin Kingdom, the Beidi tribes and the hometown of the Liao State in Hebei have just been ambushed, and the people's hearts are unstable. Above the internal court of the Dajin Kingdom, the foundation of His Majesty's new Dabao is not very stable. After this defeat, the vitality of the Dajin State was greatly damaged, if the old Beidi and the widows of the Liao State took this opportunity to rebel, or some people in the court had bad intentions to take advantage of this to rebel...... That's a real loss!! ”

A sentence woke up Yan Zongwang. After all, he is not a pure martial artist, he is on the horse to govern the army and the government on the horse, and he is very good at the affairs of the DPRK and the country.

There has never been a pure war, it is supposed to serve the government - although Wanyan Zongwang can't say such words, he understands such a truth.

"The mastermind is far-sighted, and what he said is very ......" Wanyan Zongwang paced with his eyebrows twisted, "I never thought that Chu Tianya, the turtle in the urn and the fish that slipped through the net, would defeat the second prince in such a way and annihilate his entire army. People are not as good as heaven, and the situation in front of us is too unexpected! ”

"The wolf lord is the pillar of gold, and he should make a decision and turn the tide immediately." Shi Liai persuaded, "The current situation is quite crisis. If Chu Tianya took this opportunity to go north to Hebei to regain the lost territory, and then kill Yan Yun to cut off my back road and point directly at the Dajin Imperial Capital, it would really be a complete loss. At present, it is difficult for our army to ride a tiger, and it is dragged by Liu Ziyu's gang in the Yellow River. If I retreat, he will pursue him; If I am deadlocked, he has nothing to fear, and the food supply of our army may be cut off, and he will be in chaos without a fight. This is the face of defeat - wolf lord, please send someone to negotiate peace with Tokyo quickly, don't wait any longer! ”

"Sizzle-" Wanyan Zonghan took a breath of cool air and looked at Shi Liai in surprise, "Chu Tianya, will you go on the Northern Expedition?" ”

"He dared to use his tired army to sneak attack tens of thousands of troops in the middle of winter, what else did he dare not do? And what about the Northern Expedition? Shi Liai Zhengse said, "At this time, our military is defeated and the crisis is lurking; The southern country wins, and Li Lingzhi is about to fall into a power struggle internally, and it will also be chaotic. If the wolf lord didn't take advantage of this time to negotiate peace to win a chance to breathe, and when Chu Tianya used his extraordinary means to completely choke the throat of the southern court, it would really be too late!! ”

"Makes sense!" Wanyan Zonghan's heart burst out for a while, "Chu Tianya, a liar, a hooligan, and a market Taibao, he dared to turn around and poison me, but he did everything to kill him who was shameless and obscene!" Letting such a person take charge of the mouthpiece of the temple in the south is extremely detrimental to my Dajin country! - Okay, wolf lord, please send an envoy to Tokyo to negotiate peace immediately! Without further ado, we have to compete with Chu Tianya for time! ”

"Let your subordinates go there themselves!" Shi Liai Zhengse arched his hand and said, "This matter is not trivial, I don't feel at ease if anyone else goes." If it is done well, the Dajin Kingdom will not lose some soldiers and horses, and it will soon be able to recover its vitality; If it doesn't work out well, it may really be doomed! ”

Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth to the bone, "It's angry!" Who would have thought that my dignified Dajin Kingdom would one day have to see the face of that pimpled Taibao!! ”

"Wolf master, victory and defeat are commonplace...... Big husband, can bend and stretch! ”

"Whew!!" Wanyan Zonghan was really angry, he pulled out a knife and slashed a pair of cases in front of him, "One day, I will skin him alive!" ”

……

Luoyang, in the Jiyuan barracks.

"Strategist, I respect you!" Liu Ziyu raised a glass of wine and collided with Bai Xu's glass.

"Please!"

The two of them drank and laughed.

"Fighting for days, alcohol is forbidden in the army. It's really nice to hear that the lord won in Tokyo! Liu Ziyu's eyebrows fluttered in a very good mood, "Wanyan Zonghan must have heard the news too, and immediately withdrew his troops!" Liu took advantage of the situation to chase and kill him, and finally beheaded hundreds of people - watching the Jin soldiers flee like lost dogs, our army chased and killed him like chopping melons and vegetables, it was really happy, happy!! ”

"Hehe, the lord is really discerning, and he didn't see the wrong person. Yan Xiu is really a general. Xiaosheng works hand in hand with you, and it is no more convenient. Bai Xu also smiled, "Rao is Wanyan Zonghan has three or four hundred thousand elite soldiers, and you and I are here to take the lead, but let him be sad about the Yellow River!" - But then again, you and I can't match the Lord's case, haha! ”

"That's it!" Liu Ziyu shook his head and smiled, "Strategist, Liu is young and vigorous, and he never convinces people. This time, I really admire the lord so much! ”

"It's the same with Xiaosheng." Bai Xu smiled and changed his words, "By the way, can you receive a letter from the lord today?" ”

"Yes, there is." Liu Ziyu put down the wine glass and took out a letter from his arms, "I just sat down when I was busy with military affairs, and I didn't have time to read it yet." ”

"Then please see now." Bai Xu smiled.

Liu Ziyu curiously unfolded the letter and glanced at it, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Yue Fei?!" …… Is that the young cavalry colonel that the lord met in Zhending? ”

"That's him." Bai Xu smiled, "I've heard that the lord seems to have been very important to him for a long time. This time I met again in Tokyo, and I took him under my command. What Xiaosheng didn't expect was why Second Brother Jiao would take the initiative to abdicate and give up the position of the military aircraft leader to Yue Fei along with Xiao Cai? ”

"That's right, Yue Fei is a newcomer...... Liu Ziyu was also very surprised, "I think when Liu first arrived in Xiaocang Mountain, the lord promoted me exceptionally, which also caused a lot of turmoil." Right now, the master's hand is even bigger, and he actually directly let Yue Fei completely replace Jiao Wentong......"

"The second brother has outstanding faith and military power, and if you really want to compare it, the status of the second brother is far above Xiaosheng, only below the lord." Bai Xu said indifferently with a smile.

Liu Ziyu immediately heard the meaning of Bai Xu's words, "This ...... I'm afraid that's still appropriate, right? Yue Fei, how can he be on a par with the military advisor as soon as he comes? Liu doesn't mind anymore, but you ...... And Brother Meng Qi? ”

"Huh!" Bai Xu smiled, "The lord took into account the feelings of you and me and Meng De, so he specially wrote the letter in person." Don't you see that the lord is also quite worried that we people will be unconvinced? And those big and small leaders under our command, who have followed the lord for a long time, and have made great achievements in life and death, but they were ridden on the head by a newcomer Huangkou child overnight, who can be happy? ”

Liu Ziyu's eyes lit up, "Then the military advisor, what should we do to not only obey the will of the lord, but also to appease these brothers below?" ”

"Brother, you are really smart, the lord did not misunderstand you." Bai Xu smiled, "The purpose of the lord's letter is not just to tell us about it. The deeper intention is that we can take the lead and appease the rest of our brothers. The implication is that the Lord sees the two of us and Meng De as his own brothers, and he trusts that we will support his decisions, trust his decisions, and maintain his prestige. ”

"Liu understood!" Liu Ziyu immediately said, "Brother Meng Qi's side must be fine, he must support whatever the lord does." Thinking that the lord wanted to promote Liu, Meng Qige was also the first to stand up and support. Now, should we be like Meng Qige at the beginning? ”

"Yes." Bai Xu smiled slightly, "Don't do it, we can't make any opinions and remarks that are not convincing to Yue Fei." Even if you have it in your heart, you must never say it. This matter can be big or small, don't be confused at this time. The lord promoted Yue Fei like this, there must be a reason for him. I believe that it won't be long before the lord will give Yue Fei a chance to show his ability and take great credits to convince the public. Just like you, Liu Ziyu, are stationed in the Yellow River today and have repelled Yan Zonghan's onslaught countless times. When the brothers of the family saw your ability and ability, they naturally obeyed you. At the same time, I also admired the decision of the lord at that time. Isn't it? ”

"The military advisor has won the award!" Liu Ziyu smiled a little embarrassedly, "The military advisor is very high, and Liu completely understands." Why don't I wait for Kuài to send someone to Yue Fei to congratulate him? ”

"Clever." Bai Xu smiled, "The letter from the lord is euphemistic, nominally 'soliciting' the opinions of our three military leaders, but rather, waiting for us to stand up and support Yue Fei." Therefore, it was not so much to congratulate Yue Fei as to openly announce his decision to support the lord. ”

"The military advisor deserves to be a military advisor, and he understands the meaning of the lord's public will so thoroughly!" Liu Ziyu said with a smile, "Why don't we contact Brother Meng Qi as much as we can and ask him to come along?" ”

"Can't!" Bai Xu raised his eyebrows, "Brother Meng Qi is different from us, he is the lord's own brother. We don't even need to invite him, he will. If we invite Meng Qige to join us, we will give others a false impression that Meng De persuaded us, and we are forced to do these things - so, sooner rather than later, you and I should immediately prepare our own letters, write letters and prepare some congratulatory gifts, and send them to the lord and Yue Fei! ”

"The military advisor is wise! Liu, I really admire it! Liu Ziyu hugged his fists with admiration, "Following the military advisor, Liu has really learned too much, and I am very grateful!" ”

"Why do you and my brother say this?" Bai Xu smiled, "Xiaosheng has been with the lord for a long time, and they just know each other a little." When it comes to wisdom and the city, Xiaosheng is far inferior to the lord, and he doesn't dare to speculate about the lord's intentions. Yan Xiu, please remember that Xiaosheng is a Jianyì-"

"Please give me advice!" Liu Ziyu asked very seriously.

Bai Xu smiled slightly, "Never underestimate the lord, let alone disobey him in major matters." It doesn't matter if he sees you as a friend, brother, or confidant. ”

"Yes......" Liu Ziyu nodded thoughtfully, "After all, there is a difference between the lord and the minister." ”

"If only you understood." Bai Xu smiled slightly, and in his smile, it meant very much.

Sycamore Plain, in the handsome tent.

"Oops, lost again!" Chu Tianya threw a chess piece in his hand towards the chessboard, "It's really boring to win two games after seven games!" - Draw a line on his face! ”

"Chu Tianya, I didn't expect your chess products to stink so much!" Wanyan Zongwang, who was sitting opposite him, shouted with some annoyance, "If you win, you will paint on my face, and if you lose, you will also paint on my face, it is really unreasonable!" ”

Liuhe and Xiaofei on the side didn't care about him shouting, and pinned him down very mischievously, drawing a thick ink on his face. Then, the tents were full of people laughing viciously.

"You are still the one who leads the troops to fight. Black and white is always the winner's decision, you don't understand this? Chu Tianya said with a smile, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, if you don't accept it, you will arrest Chu in your barracks, and play me like this!" ”

"How can this be justified, a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!" Wanyan Zongwang's eyes were red with anger, and if he hadn't been tied to a chair, he would have jumped up a long time ago.

"But you're not a soldier, you're a martial artist!" Chu Tianya laughed even worse, "I know very clearly that you won't kill yourself." A tyrant like you, no amount of torture will make you lose your desire to survive. The strongest thought in your heart is to return to the Kingdom of Jin, and then lead a large army to seek revenge on me, isn't it? ”

"Yes!" Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth and said categorically, "No matter what, I won't kill myself!" Someday, I'll capture you on the battlefield with my own hands! ”

"It's good, I can afford to win and lose, this is what I expected to be the hero of the Jin Kingdom, the first marshal." Chu Tianya still said with a smile, "If you are a strong and righteous hero, I will definitely not torture you like this." It's a pity that you and Chu are all the way, and you can't be a big hero in your life, at most you are a notorious war maniac! ”

"I'm too lazy to talk to you in vain!" Wanyan Zongwang was so angry that his neck was thick, and he turned his face away, "Say, when are you going to release me?" ”

"I can't let me have the final say." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "It depends on what kind of negotiation price your Jin country's imperial court is willing to offer." The life of the second prince is very valuable, I am waiting for the price to sell! ”

"Humph! ......" Wanyan Zongwang snorted coldly, "You are also a thief and a frog at the bottom of the well until you die!" ”

"Oh, good scolding!" Chu Tianya smiled, "I know what you're thinking - you're thinking, if I were you Chu Tianya, I wouldn't just think about exchanging Yan Zongwang for a little gold and silver or a city, right?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang's eyebrows flicked slightly, "Yes, that's what I thought, that's how I look down on you - what can you do?" ”

"Coincidentally." Chu Tianya said with a smile, "The reason why I deliberately got you out of Tokyo City is that I don't want those fools in the Great Song Dynasty to let you go by the three or five yellow and white things." I'm going to negotiate with Kim - the longer we talk, the better! ”

"You! ......" Wanyan Zongwang finally heard the bad string tone in Chu Tianya's words, "You are delaying time by refusing to enter Tokyo and not withdrawing troops?" ――What do you want to do? ”

"This is even a supreme and absolutely secret military aircraft, I will sue you?" Chu Tianya laughed, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, are you dizzy playing chess?" ”

Wanyan Zong stared at Chu Tianya, wanting to see a little sign and sign from his cynical and rogue smile.

Unfortunately, he failed.

He couldn't see through what the seemingly arrogant but scheming young man in front of him was thinking. Vaguely, Wanyan Zongwang felt a trace of horror, and thought of one of the things that disturbed him the most!

――What if Chu Tianya took the opportunity to send a brigade of strong divisions to recover Hebei and even attack the Huining Imperial Capital of our Dajin Kingdom at such a time?!

Wanyan Zongwang's heart panicked for the first time!
