Chu Zhaofu looked at the others, but they were silent, so he had to shut up.

Zhao Yuanzuo said to Leng Yi: "Commander Leng, please go back and immediately upload the king's order, all the troops of the Sanya will immediately be equipped and sent out, and tomorrow morning, send troops to Yizhou!" ”

"All the Praetorian Army? 600,000 all? Leng Yi frowned.

"Of course! Isn't it possible? Zhao Yuanzuo glared at Leng Yi, "Don't forget, my father's secret decree said that the three yas, up and down, obey the order as one, and besides, this king can act cheaply, do you want to disobey the holy decree?" ”

Leng Yi said: "It's not that I don't want the prince to take all the forbidden troops away, it's just that the official family's holy decree has clearly stated that only part of the forbidden army will be mobilized to Yizhou." But the prince wants to mobilize all the forbidden troops to go to the battle, which is inconsistent with the holy decree of the official family. ”

"Why doesn't it match? My father said that all the forbidden troops in the entire Sanya should obey my orders! I also use the troop transfer talisman that has mobilized all the troops of the entire Sanya! How could it not be that all 600,000 forbidden troops could be mobilized for the war? ”

"If all the forbidden troops are transferred, what will happen to the capital? Who's going to take care of it? ”

"Then I don't care!"

Chu Zhaofu, the privy envoy on the side, frowned and said to Zhao Yuanzuo: "Lord Wang, what Commander Leng said is right. The duty of the forbidden army is to protect the capital, if all the forbidden troops are transferred, the capital is empty, but it will not work. ”

"Why not? Now that the world is peaceful, and there are no anti-thieves, what are you afraid of? Besides, the official family and I are out of the city, even if there are anti-thieves who come in, it's not a big deal! ”

As soon as they heard Zhao Yuanzuo's words that it was none of their business, several ministers changed color on their faces.

Shi Xizai, the privy deputy envoy, coughed and said, "Lord, you can't say that, even if the prince doesn't care about us old ministers, what about the imperial tomb?" What about Taimiao? What about the millions of people in Beijing? ”

Zhao Yuanzuo also knew that he was talking too casually, and he was a little embarrassed, and said: "I don't care what you mean, I'm in a hurry to save my father." Since you are so afraid of death, then okay, I will leave 30,000 or 50,000 yuan for you to defend the city. ”

As soon as they heard what he said, several ministers were even more angry and blew their beards and glared at them. The privy council promised Chen Congxin and said in a deep voice: "How can 350,000 troops be enough to protect the huge capital?" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo glared and said: "No more, your life is important, my father's life is more important than yours!" ”

Leng Yi said: "Now it's not about discussing the issue of defending the city, nor is it about rushing to rescue the official family, and the official family is not surrounded by the Liao army, so let's talk about rescue." This dispatch to Yizhou is part of the official family's entire battle plan, which the prince may not know. The reason why the official family led 200,000 Xiang troops to go deep into the enemy's territory was not to really attack Liao, but to lure the enemy deeper. Attract the main force of the Liao army to the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, and then ambush the two forbidden armies on the left and right near Yizhou, and then cut off their retreat. At this time, the forbidden army attacked on all fronts and annihilated the invading Liao army. Therefore, if the prince mobilized all the forbidden troops to the border at once, it would immediately arouse the vigilance of the Liao army, and it would be impossible for the Liao army to go deep alone, and it would not be able to achieve the goal set by the official family to lure the enemy into the depths. ”

Cao Bin nodded and said, "What Commander Leng said is extremely true. Before the official family set out for the expedition, the battle plan explained to me was also like this. There should not be too many troops sent to Yizhou, so as not to startle the snakes. Because our task is only to respond and pre-emptively block. ”

Zhao Yuanzuo's eyes rolled a few times, and said, "This plan doesn't work!" Now listen to me, mobilize all the troops to the border, and fight the Liao army to the death! Alright, that's it! Whoever does not listen, this king will be killed according to the holy decree of his father! ”

For a moment, the room was silent.

Leng Yi said lightly: "Even if there is no forgiveness for killing, I have to say it." ”

"You?" Zhao Yuanzuo looked at Leng Yi with a fierce voice, "Do you really want to disobey?" ”

"The overall plan of the official family is the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and I also have it!"

"Good! Good for you, Leng Yi! - Come on, take down Leng Yi! Come! Someone! ”

Zhao Yuanzuo shouted loudly.

Yang Ye's face turned cold, and he stepped forward to protect Leng Yi. Leng Yi smiled and waved his hand, signaling Yang Ye not to be nervous. Then he said to Zhao Yuanzuo: "The prince's voice is too soft, it's better to shout at the door, maybe they can hear it." ”

Zhao Yuanzuo's face changed color slightly, and he turned around and ran to the door. When he arrived at the door, he opened the door of the temple suddenly, only to see that there were rows of guards outside, and he was surprised: "How did you do it?" This king called you to come in and arrest Leng Yi! Come on! ”

The guards looked at him indifferently, as if they hadn't heard at all.

Zhao Yuanzuo realized that something was not quite right, and shouted loudly: "Master Zhang! Master Zhang! ”

Leng Yi's voice came from behind him: "No need to call, Lord Long and your cronies are not here at the moment, my people have taken them to eat and drink." By the way, I forgot to tell you that in order to ensure the smooth progress of this meeting involving the highest military secrets, with the permission of the queen mother, I have removed the forbidden inner banzhi, and replaced the guards on duty outside with the imperial dragon crossbow straight under my direct command. Hehe, I'm also the deputy commander of the front division of the palace. The right to do so. ”

Zhao Yuanzuo's body trembled, and he looked at Leng Yi in horror: "You ......, what are you going to do to this king?" ”

Leng Yi was very surprised: "How dare Wei Chen do anything to the prince?" The reason why the prince wants to arrest Weichen is just because Weichen does not listen to the prince's orders. However, this is because before the king's order, there was also a holy decree of the official family. In the case that the prince's order contradicts the official's holy decree, if he can't take it into account, Weichen can only choose to obey the official's order. I believe that not only me, but everyone here will make such a choice, I wonder if this is the case? ”

This is a natural choice, Shi Shouxin, Chu Zhaofu and others all nodded frequently. Hua Rui smiled and said: "This is natural, the order of the official family, that is supreme." ”

Zhao Yuanzuo glared and said, "What I have in my hand is also my father's holy decree!" Same potency! ”

Leng Yi shook his head and said: "It's different, the holy decree in your hand is just the general surname authorization of the official family, not specifically referring to this battle." And this time, the combat officers have already made clear arrangements. If the official family goes out on the expedition, they must give the leading officers a formation map and a battle plan, and if they strictly follow the formation plan and battle plan, even if they are defeated, they will not be punished, but if they do not follow the official formation and battle plan, even if they win the battle, they will be dealt with by military law. I don't know General Cao, do you have the courage to go against the official's battle plan? Anyway, I'm timid, I don't have it. ”

Cao Bin and the others also smiled awkwardly and said, "I am also timid, and I never dare to go against the official family's battle plan. ”

"yes!" Leng Yi looked at Zhao Yuanzuo, "Now, the official family is fighting against the Liao State, and the Liao [***] strength is no less than our Great Song Dynasty, and the official family is the royal driver, deep behind the enemy, and there is no room for the slightest mistake." The official's battle plan must be carefully considered by the official, and the stakes are of great importance, and there must be no violation of the slightest. ”

Zhao Yuanzuo said with pity: "What if I insist on taking all the forbidden troops away? ”

"I'm sorry, although the prince has the right to transfer troops, but I have the right to command the troops, and the prince's transfer of troops obviously violates the previous battle plan of the official family. I must immediately report this matter to the official family with 800 miles of urgency, and I can't let you take all the forbidden troops away without the clear authorization of the official family. ”

As soon as Zhao Yuanzuo heard that Leng Yi wanted to report to Zhao Guangyi, this is not good, once he let his father know, plus the matter of Shi Shouxin and Shi Baoji, with his father's shrewdness, he would definitely guess his conspiracy, and at that time, it would be all over. At present, we must rush to the front, we must lead the troops to Yizhou, and wait for the opportunity to kill my father and Zhao Defang, as long as they die, the world is their own! At that time, they were not afraid of Leng Yi and fled to the sky!

So, Zhao Yuanzuo's face softened, and he said, "Why bother? Okay, I'll lead 400,000 troops and leave 200,000 in the capital, that's okay, right? ”

Leng Yi shook his head: "I'm sorry, the official's battle plan is very clear, this Yizhou assembly must be quiet, and besides, the troops can't be too many, otherwise it will startle the snake." When an army of 400,000 went on an expedition, it was impossible not to alarm the local government, and it would definitely be known to the Liao army. At that time, the official family's temptation to go deep into the enemy was in vain. ”

"Then ......, 300,000 is always okay, right?"

Leng Yi still shook his head.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand! I won't do it anymore! ”

Leng Yi raised a finger: "One hundred thousand!" The prince can only bring 100,000 troops, even if it is not the prince, but General Shi and General Cao, it is also this number. No one more person is enough! ”

"One hundred thousand?" Zhao Yuanzuo glared and said, "One hundred thousand is enough or something!" ”

"Enough to destroy two countries!" Cao Bin on the side said brazenly: "Back then, I led the troops to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty and Houshu, and it was only a mere 100,000 soldiers. ”

"That was to deal with the Southern Tang Dynasty and Houshu, and now it is to deal with the Liao State!"

Cao Bin said: "Our 100,000 are just acting as blockers, delaying time, and the follow-up reinforcements will work together to tighten the pockets, and that's fine." I still think it's too much for the 100,000 people that Lord Leng said, if it's me, 50,000 is enough! ”

Zhao Yuanzuo glared at Cao Bin: "What are you bragging!" When the time comes, you will lose the battle, and you will have a few heads! ”

"I only have one head!" Cao Bin is a surname that is not afraid of heaven and earth, and said lightly: "There are not as many soldiers in the Liao army as there are in my Great Song Dynasty, and it is estimated that there will be no more than 150,000 people who can pursue and enter my Great Song Dynasty." If my 100,000 men can't stop the enemy from breaking through, I'm willing to don't want this head! ”

Leng Yi said: "It's okay to cut off the back road with 100,000, after all, it's not to use 100,000 to fight the Liao army, as long as the Liao army is lone and deep, we will copy it in all directions, even if we use 100,000 on each side, it is also an army of 400,000, 400,000 against 150,000, how can we win." ”

Cao Bin also said: "Yes, the soldiers who went to Yizhou only responded and intercepted and blocked. It is not advisable to have too many soldiers, otherwise the whole battle will fail. ”

Zhao Yuanzuo looked at Chu Zhaofu and the others with a gloomy face: "What about your opinions?" (To be continued.) )
