Chapter 255: Rush

War is cruel, it has iron laws, war is also sad, it does not leave even the slightest mercy on any living being. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and Zhao Xu used the real iron law of war to show the Goryeo people the inherent laws of war.

The 60,000 Goryeo prisoners of war, who were evenly distributed among the Song army, were almost all killed in the feint attack of the six cities of Goryeo by the Song army of the Six Routes, but the real Song army quickly withdrew from the battlefield under their respective commanders according to the orders of their own emperors, leaving behind countless corpses, creating the illusion of abandoning corpses. The Goryeo Kingdom, which did not have insight into the movements of the Song army, thought that the Song army was defeated, and was inexplicably excited, and even in their capital Kyoto, there was a scene of national jubilation, and the whole country of Goryeo suddenly burst with confidence, because in their opinion, the myth of the invincibility of the Song army was broken, and the time for a large-scale counterattack came

"Long live, according to the battle report from the front, the six armies of the Song army only lasted for half a day before they were defeated like a mountain, and the corpses were abandoned, according to previous statistics, the six armies of the Song army dispatched a total of 120,000 people, a total of more than 54,000 people were killed, and according to the front-line military report, all the Song soldiers who died were all hungry and thin, full of vegetables, from which it is inferred that the Song army attacked our Goryeo Empire for more than ten days, and the reason was very likely to be due to the lack of food and grass, therefore, the minister concluded, The time has come for our Goryeo Empire to counterattack the enemy of the Song State on all fronts. Han Wenzong, the secretary of the military department of Goryeo, came out of the class and said to Wang Xien, the emperor of Goryeo on the dragon throne, with his fists in play

And Wang Xi'en naturally got the news that the Song army was defeated and the corpses were abandoned, but as the emperor, he also received a more shocking news: "Ladies and gentlemen, I also just received a news, after the defeat of the Song army last time, the lord of the Song State was unwilling to fail, and personally led the army to attack, but he was also defeated under the Beishan City, and now he has led his remnants across the Great Basin and came to Jiaoxi Canyon. ”

As soon as the ministers of Goryeo heard that the emperor of the enemy country had gone deep alone and went straight under their noses, they asked for orders to go on the expedition, wanting to take this great credit into their arms, but if the great merit of killing or capturing the emperor of the enemy country fell into the hands of the courtiers, Wang Xien, the emperor, did not know how to reward others, so Wang Xien stood up from his dragon chair very majestically, waved his sleeves, and said to his courtiers: "The heart of serving the country with your fists, I see it in my eyes, I was very relieved, however, that Zhao Xu, the lord of the Song Dynasty, actually raised an unintentional army, trapping the people of the two countries and the fire and water, and my heart was very painful, therefore, I decided to drive the expedition in person, and personally met Zhao Xu, the lord of the enemy country, I want to ask him why he raised the army of the country for no reason, and violated the majesty of my great Goryeo, I want to ask him, why he led the army to the country regardless of the happiness of the people of the two countries, so that the people are not happy, and the land is thousands of miles, he is speechless when I want to ask, and he surrenders on the spot when I want to ask. ”

"My emperor is mighty, long live, long live, long live." Wang Xien's speech, all the ministers of the Goryeo Kingdom were full of enthusiasm, and they couldn't wait to immediately follow their emperor Shuai Jun to go on the expedition and capture Zhao Xu, the lord of the Song State, on the spot, and at this time, Wang Xien had even seen Zhao Xu, the lord of the Song State, kneeling in front of his eyes

And just two days before the deliberations in the Goryeo palace, in the camp of the Song army, Zhao Xu also issued a final battle plan to his generals to destroy Goryeo

Around the huge sand table of the Goryeo Kingdom, all the civil and military officials who came with the army were all around the sand table, listening to the tasks that Zhao Xu constantly assigned to them

"This is the junction of Seehae Road and Jiaoju Road in Goryeo," Zhao Xu pointed to the location on the sand table and said to all the ministers: "After this basin, you can go directly to the Jiaoxi Grand Canyon, the capital of Goryeo, Kaesong, and I will personally use it as bait to lure the soldiers of the whole country of Goryeo to gather to me, and I will finally return to this basin, raise my whole army of the Great Song Dynasty, and wipe out the entire army of Goryeo." ”

"Your Majesty, as the old saying goes, the son of a daughter can't sit down, I think you are the dignified son of heaven of the Great Song Empire, how can you personally use your body as bait to risk in the land of tigers and wolves, the ministers are not talented, long live the original emperor as bait, luring the whole army of Goryeo and this basin." Chu Luli took the lead in standing up and said to Zhao Xu. Then almost all the ministers also stood up and said to Zhao Xu with their fists in question

"The kindness of your family is appreciated, but it's just ......"

Zhao Xu just wanted to shirk, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Luli, Chu Luli took two steps forward, flicked his hem, knelt down in front of Zhao Xu, and said with a serious face: "Long live, this is not to go out on patrol in small clothes behind your back, nor to sneak out of the palace at night, but to be on the battlefield of another country, although Your Majesty has children under your knees, but they are still young, and they have not accepted the teaching of Your Majesty's ideology of governing the country and leveling the world, and if Your Majesty personally takes the bait this time, in case there is any accident, Who in this world can support the country that His Majesty has worked so hard to fight for all these years? Is it the eldest prince Zhao Qi, the second prince Zhao Mu, or the third prince Zhao Lie, the eldest of the three princes is only six years old, Your Majesty, have you thought about this? Until you raise a new heir to the empire, you must not be in any danger, so please think twice for the sake of the future of the empire, for the well-being of the people of the empire, and for the stability of the imperial court. ”

Chu Luli's words deeply touched the deepest part of Zhao Xu's heart, since he came to this era, he gradually developed the imperial momentum of the self-respecting between heaven and earth, and also abandoned the original Song Dynasty's original way of sitting and discussing the way of government and politics, when he just came to this era, the entire political system of the Song Dynasty really needed him to use iron-blooded means to rectify, but now, with the continuous development over the years, Zhao Xu's own way of doing things and character continue to affect the behavior of all ministers in the government and the opposition, Therefore, Chu Luli's behavior today also proves that the courtiers of the Great Song Empire began to think more comprehensively about national interests and the stability of the empire

After listening to Chu Luli's words, Zhao Xu was silent for a while, and then slowly raised his head and said to all the ministers in a kind manner: "What you said is indeed reasonable, and this matter is indeed inconsiderate. ”

"Your Majesty, as the deputy commander of the march, the minister has the responsibility and obligation to share the worries of His Majesty, and the minister is willing to disguise himself as a substitute for His Majesty to lure the army of Goryeo to gather in the basin." Shi Wengong bowed to Zhao Xu and said with his fists clenched

"Shi Qing's family is the deputy head of the marching army, I have more important tasks to hand over to you, as for the matter of disguise and luring the enemy, leave it to Chu Luli."

"Obey."

"Zhu Qing obeys orders." Zhao Xu waved his sleeves and ordered to all the ministers

"Obey your orders."

"Order Chu Luli to disguise himself, pretend to be me, and lead 20,000 light cavalry by Liu Qi as the general, your task is very simple and dangerous, I need to wait for you to carry my Son of Heaven Dragon Banner to constantly intersperse and rush back and forth between the enemy's various defense lines, causing the enemy a posture of our army will be defeated, but trapped in the beast fighting, and then, when attracting the troops of the various defense lines of the Goryeo Kingdom to encircle and suppress you, the front of the troops will be directed to Kaesong, the capital of the Goryeo Kingdom, but when your 20,000 cavalry arrives at the Jiaoxi Grand Canyon, it will be stagnant for a while, Then he turned his horse and turned around, and before the enemy's pursuing forces could close in, he rushed out of the basin by the same route. ”

"Your Ministers obey." Chu Luli and Liu Qi clasped their fists at Zhao Xu and said

"Where is Shi Wengong?"

"The end will be."

"I order you to personally lead all the heavy cavalry of our army, and after the artillery attack has extended forward, to deliver a carpet plough strike against all the Goryeo troops in the basin."

"The last will obey."

"Han Shizhong, where is Xu Ning."

"The end will be."

"I order you two to each lead 10,000 light cavalry from your headquarters to wander outside the entire battle formation, and strangle the periphery of the Goryeo battle array and its rear army."

"The last will obey."

"The rest of the generals, stand ready to attack, strangle all the Koreans who rushed out of the battle formation, remember, in this battle, I do not want a single Goryeo soldier to escape, I want to destroy all the living military forces of the Goryeo Kingdom and all the will to fight of the Koreans in this basin."

"The ministers are willing to follow Your Majesty to the death." (To be continued.) )
