Chapter 039: Huarong Daoyi Explains Two Secrets

Yang Hao said: "Yes, the first stage: to be the emperor." The results are to be expected. We will usher in a more fierce blow from the Song court, at this stage, we must also concentrate all our forces to fight a duel, although this battle may not be a complete victory, but it must be fought fiercely enough, the more fierce it hurts, the more the Song Kingdom will understand that if it wants to eat me, it will have to pay a huge price. This laid the groundwork for our second step of the plan.

Of course, this is only from the bright side, the dark side, we want to run through the rebellion in Shu in the south, connect the Khitan of Liao in the north, and carry out all kinds of interference within the Song court, so that it is powerless, until it is tired and tired of war, then we take the initiative to surrender, abandon the emperor, and take the throne, which also gives them a step to ease the situation. The so-called sky-high asking price, pay back the money on the spot. It's advantageous to give three points, so we look like we're losing, but we're actually winning......"

Since Zhu Wen destroyed the Tang Dynasty and established the Great Liang, the Central Plains regimes such as Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou, in order to envelop the northwest, each dynasty had to use the Huairou policy to the Tuoba clan in Hexi, and the reward was great, so it was in the Tang Dynasty that the title of the Dingyan Army Festival envoy was named the Tuoba clan as [**].

After the Song Dynasty Zhou became independent, he immediately added the title of the difficult army to make Li Yixing a lieutenant, as a means of favor, but the [**] lord of the dynasty was not canceled, but as the Song Dynasty successively eliminated the Central Plains countries and unified the world, the power of the Song State became stronger and stronger.

Since the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Zhou dynasties have all recognized the status of the envoys of the difficult festival, it is not difficult for the Song State to posthumously confirm it.

Ding Chengzong saw that the "business nine-character formula" he taught him was actually used in the struggle for world domination, he couldn't help but smile, and immediately nodded in approval: "What Taiwei said is reasonable, if Taiwei is the emperor, we can withstand the powerful offensive of the Song Dynasty, then give him a step down, and the king can still do it." ”

Of course, Yang Hao knew that he could do this, in fact, this way was the way Li Yuanhao became the emperor in the past. So far, he has borrowed Li Yuanhao's method, and naturally has a more accurate judgment of Song Ting's possible reaction.

Yang Hao said: "According to the queen, we will integrate all departments, repair the armor and revitalize the economy, so that the people's livelihood is rich, animal husbandry is prosperous, the grains are abundant, and the treasury is full." Externally, it made friends with the Liao and Song dynasties at the same time, and the two sides borrowed strength to gain self-respect, and at the same time opened up the territory to the right of Long. Longyou, now most of them are in the hands of the Tubo and Hui people, and a small part of them are the territory of the Qiang people of the party, the Hui people of Longyou are a plate of scattered sand, and the Qiang people of the party are even less, all of which are not worth mentioning, in fact, they are in the hands of the Tubo people, and the Song court has not yet occupied the right side of Long, and declared sovereignty over it, this is our rare opportunity. Longyou, we must fight down, this is a necessary condition for us to avoid fighting a century-old war with the Song Dynasty after the founding of the country! ”

Historically, when the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom was at its peak, "the Yellow River in the east, Yumen in the west, Xiaoguan in the south, and the desert in the north." "With this territory, it is the weakest of the three kingdoms of the Liao and Song dynasties, and the reason for this is that it is congenitally insufficient.

At that time, Li Deming of the Western Xia Dynasty also declared himself a vassal to the Liao Song Dynasty, and the Liao Song Dynasty accepted it in order to win over the most powerful third-party power and make it as neutral as possible. Emperor Liao named Li Deming as [**], and the Song State also awarded Li Deming as the envoy of the Dingyan Army. The Western Xia and Liao and Song dynasties opened up fields and opened trade. After stabilizing the two major powers in the east and north, they began a large-scale westward expedition, attacking the Guasha Prefectures of Lianggansu, and finally reaching Yumen.

When his forces reached Yumen Pass, it was impossible to expand to the south, and at that time the land of Longyou had all fallen into the hands of the Song State, so the territory of the Western Xia could only be limited to Hexi from beginning to end, and the Western Xia Kingdom ruled there for more than 300 years with this corner of Hexi, and the emperor was founded for nearly 200 years.

Now that Yang Hao has embarked on this road of no return, he has to wholeheartedly consider his living space, he was more than 50 years earlier than Li Yuanhao when he was called emperor, he unified Hexi, and his power reached outside the Yumen Pass, and then he wanted to expand the country. The best place is that Longyou, who is still competing for his master. Once Longyou is in his hands, his territory will be doubled compared with the historical Western Xia Kingdom, and the population will naturally double, and his national strength will of course not be the same. The new empire, which was twice as powerful as the Western Xia Kingdom, was bound to be a little more jealous when the Song State launched a war.

When they heard this, Chong Fang and Zhen Ziyu both thought of some specific questions in their hearts, but Yang Hao hadn't said the third point yet, and this person often made a preemptive move, and there were many reckless moves and flawed actions in front of him, and he had very safe and ingenious means to put the finishing touches in the back, and no one knew if he still had a wonderful pen behind him, so the two of them were not busy interjecting, just listening to Yang Hao continue.

Yang Hao said: "The third step is to choose the opportunity to become the emperor." If I call the emperor to the end according to the land west of Hexi now, the Song Guoda can go out of Xiaoguan from Longyou, attack Hengshan from Hedong, use troops against me, and force me to suffer the enemy on both sides, and Longyou to hand, we are based on the fertile soil of Longright in Hexi, whether it is the supply of grain and rice, the supply of soldiers can be more than enough, geographically speaking, we can also do the advance and retreat whether it is to send troops or defense, in this way. The Song Kingdom did not dare to launch an offensive against me easily. ”

Yang Hao's voice paused when he said this, and he asked the three people who were attentive to it, "Do you have any opinions on this?" ”

Ding Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Taiwei Fang said in the festival hall that there are still many details that need to be scrutinized, I don't know what are them?" ”

Yang Hao smiled slightly: "In the opinion of the three of you, what are the flaws in my plan?" You may as well speak it and confirm it with what is in my heart. ”

"I thought ......"

Chongfang and Zheziyu said these three words in unison, and after saying these three words in unison, they looked at each other and smiled, and made a gesture of invitation to each other, Yang Hao couldn't help laughing, and nodded: "Brother Chong." You said. ”

He put down his wine glass, brushed his beard and said, "Tai Wei, I have a few doubts, and I ask Tai Wei to explain my doubts." First: How to ensure that the Song court will not send troops to intervene? Just as the Liao State will not sit idly by and watch the land west of the river fall into the hands of the Song court, how can the Song court stand idly by and watch me seize the land of Longyou? Once the Song State intervenes, whether it is from the strength of the two sides, or the convenience of sending troops to Longyou, the Song court has an absolute advantage, and our plan will be disappointed nine times out of ten.

Second, since the Longyou Tubo people have been secretly supported by the Song State, whether it is the armor or the grain and rice, the speed of the merger of the tribes is unprecedented, although there is currently the Rodin patriarch to contain him, but once we descend to the emperor and claim the title of prince, during the period of recuperation, we can no longer take the initiative to use troops externally.

With the strong strength of the Song State, but can continue to give Shang Boqian strong support during this period of time, according to this momentum, in a short period of time, Shang Boqian will be able to dominate Hexi, and even the Hui tribes scattered in Hexi, Dangxiang tribes are all under his command, at that time, even if there is no Song State to help, his power will not be inferior to us much, once we plot Longright, it is just a lose-lose ending, maybe it will be picked up by the Song State or the Liao State, and how to grow stronger? ”

Yang Hao turned to Zheziyu again and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

In addition to these two points, she also thought of some other trivial things, such as even if the first step of the plan was realized, she proposed and declared herself a minister at the stalemate stage between the two sides. What if Song Guo still had a tough attitude and refused to accept Yang Hao's request. But after thinking about it, no matter how careful things are, if you think about it repeatedly, it is inevitable that there will be such and such problems, if you have to do it with a complete grasp, then don't do anything well, these worries are really not necessary, so he shook his head and said: "No, there are only these two points, I don't know if the captain has a solution?" ”

Yang Hao said: "Don't worry about the first question, I know Zhao Guangyi very well, and I also know Song Guo. I still guess how they will react, how to make Song Guo stand by and watch, I have a plan in my heart, but now is not the time to make it public. However, how to prevent Shang Boqian from continuing to expand like this, until he dominates Longyou and becomes our henchman, I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I have not come up with a proper way. ”

In their opinion, how to make the Song State sit idly by and watch when Yang Hao annexes Longyou is a difficult matter, after all, from the perspective of the Song State, it will not sit back and watch Yang Hao, the arrogant and untamed King of Fan, continue to expand, and at the same time, the Song State has the strength to stop it, so no matter what method is used, no matter who it is, it is impossible to change Zhao Guangyi's mind.

And to prevent Shang Boqian's forces from continuing to expand, it is easier for one family to sit big and dominate Longyou, although the Luo Dan patriarch of the Liugu Domain can only contain Shang Boqian in a short period of time, which is not enough to stop Shang Boqian who is expanding vigorously with the help of the Song State, but there is still hope for delaying the speed of his power expansion, and some other means can also be used, but in Yang Hao's heart, it is the most difficult problem He first came up with a way?

Seeing that Yang Hao's tone was firm, the three of them refused to disclose the details, so they had to put aside their curiosity and began to think about the second question.

Yang Hao now has two treasures in his hand that will have a great effect when the time is right, one is the jade seal of the country, and the other is the blood edict of Queen Song.

The blood edict has great lethality to Zhao Guangyi, who is trying his best to proclaim his identity as the orthodox heir, and the role of the jade seal is even greater, but these two things are similar to the heavy armored cavalry in Yang Hao's hands, and it will be invincible to use it when it is appropriate. If you take it out when it's not right, it's only counterproductive.

Dong Cheng, the general of the Han chariot cavalry, received an edict from the emperor Zhu Cao Cāo, but he was killed for himself. And the jade seal, Liu Bang, Cao Pi, Shi Le, ......, but all those who got it, all of them wantonly used the important position of the jade seal in the minds of the people to serve their legitimate right to rule, but every dynasty rises, there is also a former dynasty king who holds it, but the country is lost, this thing must be of great use when the time is right, the strength is commensurate, and it can only be kept secret at this time.

Therefore, Yang Hao thought for a moment, and then dismissed his plan to show these two things to the three of them now. The four of them were thinking about their own thoughts, the room was quiet for a while, and several people thought silently, sometimes taking a bite of food and tasting a sip of wine, so silent for a pillar of incense, Ding Chengzong slowly raised his head, hesitated slightly, and said: "Taiwei yΓΉ plots Longright, and Shang Boqian's rise speed under the support of the Song Dynasty is not inferior to that of Taiwei when he first arrived in Luzhou." Although the patriarch of the Roodin clan of the Six Valleys was secretly supported by the Taiwei, the current Shang Boqian is like having won the Taiwei of Yinzhou, and the Rodan patriarch is far inferior to Li Guangrui at that time. ”

Everyone stared at Ding Chengzong intently, and Ding Chengzong said: "This kind of scene is similar to the competition between merchants in the market, if it is in the shopping mall, if you want to curb and suppress such a situation, there is a way." ”

Yang Hao couldn't wait to say, "You say." ”

Ding Chengzong said: "Introduce a new force, mix the water, the territory is only so big, if you introduce a close business to come in, let them fight for me, everyone divides up, the result is that no one wants to sit big, and when I free my hands, I can rely on their far stronger strength to buy, or suppress, or divide, and finally eat them one by one, so as to save me from making a name for myself in the local area, building a store in the early stage." ”

Yang Hao's eyes lit up together, Ding Chengzong was trying to say his opinion, and when he saw the three of them, he couldn't help but be greatly encouraged, and continued: "If this method can also be used to seek the country, then ...... After completing the first step of the plan, how about transferring the Shu Righteous Army to Longyou nearby? In this way, it can not only prevent them from losing all in the encirclement and suppression of the Song court, but also serve the purpose of balancing Shang Boqian. ”

Speaking of this, Ding Chengzong smiled mysteriously and said, "Song Ting would not have thought that when we were 'forced' to go to the emperor and stay in Hexi in peace, we would still have the idea of Longyou. As soon as the Shu rebels left, Song Ting not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also was happy to see the balance of Longyou, after all...... The Song court didn't want another Yang Taiwei in Longyou, but Shang Boqian was raised by them, and at that time, they wanted to use them to contain us, and they couldn't come forward to weaken Shang Boqian's power by themselves. ”

Yang Hao's mind turned sharply, and after thinking about it carefully, he denied the plan: "The plan is a good plan, but it is not used properly." ”

"Oh? How inappropriate? ”

"The Shuzhong Righteous Army, although it claims to have 100,000 people, but there are many women, children, old and young, and it is difficult to leave their homeland, even if we have controlled their leadership, it is difficult for them to leave their hometowns, this is one of them. There are many mountainous areas in Shuzhong, those righteous soldiers climb mountains and mountains like walking on flat ground, but most of them don't know how to ride horses, they are not good at horse warfare, riding shΓ¨, and they can't get war horses, they can't afford to raise war horses, once they get to Longyou, the advantage of being good at mountain combat will no longer exist, in front of Shang Boqian's iron cavalry, it is just a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and it is useless. ”

What Yang Hao said was the weakness of the Shuzhong Righteous Army, Ding Chengzong couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard it, but he blurted out: "The Luozhong Righteous Army is not available, what about Aguli in Ganzhou?" ”

Yang Hao was stunned: "Aguli? ”

Chongfang said excitedly: "Yes, Aguli! If Aguli pretended to rebel against the captain and led his troops to flee to Longyou, wouldn't it have the effect of dividing the momentum of Shang Boqian? ”

Yang Hao said in a daze: "This ...... Although the Hui tribe is also a nomadic tribe that lives by water and grass, the Hui tribe in Ganzhou has some farming habits, so it may be difficult to convince their leaders to move to Longyou. Besides, it is uncertain how loyal Princess Aguli is to me at the moment, and it is difficult to predict whether she will be able to control her even if she is far away. ”

Ding Chengzong said: "Then don't you just firmly control Aguli first?" ”

Yang Hao asked rhetorically: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, how can we be sure of her loyalty?" ”

Ding Chengzong, as the person in charge of Feiyu in Xiazhou, knew the situation in Ganzhou well, and blurted out: "It is enough to give both grace and might." When Princess Aguli fought with the princess, she charged forward several times as a daughter, fearless of life and death, which can be described as her courage and loyalty. But Ye Luosu took her as an abandoned pawn, and Princess Aguli has always been angry about this. The daughter's house on the prairie has a clear love and hate, and the love is refreshing. Princess Aguli is young and beautiful, and she is a descendant of the Wang tribe in the nine surnames of Hui, and her status is very noble. If the captain accepts her as a concubine, he will give her affection. Keep their relatives and relatives as a hostage. I'm still afraid ......"

It was common for women to remarry, and it was said that it was common in the Northwest to be in the Central Plains, so even if they heard it, they didn't think it was wrong, and if Yang Hao really called the emperor, then Princess Aguli would not be a concubine, but a noble princess.

Chongfang's eyes lit up, and he was just about to open his mouth to approve, urging Yang Hao to achieve a marriage with Princess Aguli for the sake of hegemony, but Zhen Ziyu was already angry and blurted out: "No!" ”

Chong Fang and Ding Chengzong are now thinking about Yang Hao's grand hegemony from the position of the minister of the dragon, completely forgetting that there is a female Zhuge next to him who is about to be tortured by Yang Hao into a resentful woman in the boudoir.

Ding Chengzong said in his heart: "Girl, if my brother becomes the emperor, will the harem still have your position?" The emperor and concubine, is it so simple as teaching a husband and children, just having great wisdom, it is useless, to be a virtuous concubine, you still have a little less mind. However, Ding Chengzong knew the weight of Zheziyu in Yang Hao's heart, although he secretly slandered himself, it was inconvenient to say anything directly.

In his opinion, when it comes to major events in the world, letting a woman participate in the strategy is already a special importance to the Taiwei, which involves the fundamental major events of the country's society, and all the measurement criteria are only the word "interests". As soon as the minister's temper came up, Mo said that now Zhe Ziyu and Yang Hao have no relationship, even if she is the commander of the Six Palaces and the queen of the world, he dares to offend Yan Zhizhi, and immediately sank his face and retorted: "How can you not do it?" ”

"I ......" Excerpt Ziyu was speechless for a while, Yang Hao looked at her, but his eyes gradually revealed an interesting meaning: this is right, a wooden beauty who doesn't know how to be jealous and won't make little xìng lose her temper, where does she come from. It's like a living girl, cough cough ......, she's ...... You must be jealous of me, right?

Yang Hao was secretly overjoyed, wishing she had said something out of her mouth, and she was not busy solving the siege for her, Zhe Ziyu looked at him like he was watching a joke, and he was angry, he was in a hurry, she turned her brain, suddenly thought about it, and said calmly: "I am a daughter's family, I naturally understand the thoughts of my daughter's family, Ye Luosu and Princess Aguli were originally husband and wife, but when the disaster came, she was made a ghost for death." Now that Taiwei secretly accepted her as a concubine, and then drove her to use it for his own use, what is the difference between it and Ye Luosu? Princess Aguli has been heartbroken by the nightfall, will she still believe in the sincerity of the princess? Ganzhou Hui Hui has a relationship with the Tubo people in Longyou, once she arrives in Longyou, who knows that they will not collude? ”

"So...... Is there a better way to fold the girl? ”

Excerpt Ziyu smiled lightly, glanced at Yang Hao with slanted eyes, and said defiantly: "The little woman was inspired by the two adults, but she came up with a way, but she didn't know ...... Do you dare to use it......"

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

Ye Luosu and Li Jiyun, and Cheng Shixiong, Li Jitan, Zhang Chongwei's three-way chasing soldiers like hide and seek, a while to run to the foot of Hengshan, a while to cross the Wuding River, hiding in the east, you chase me to escape, finally got rid of a distance, quickly fled to Yinzhou, to the Mizhi River, look at the two of them almost lost more than half of the soldiers and horses, remember not long ago he was still sitting in the Xiongcheng Ganzhou, with 60,000 troops, under the command of 300,000 people of the Western Regions overlord, but now the foundation has been lost, but the soldiers are not more than 10,000, Even the princess Aguli and the second son Qu Li were taken as abandoned sons one after another, and they couldn't help but feel sad and cry loudly.

Li Jiyun is calm, probably he has been in the nest for more than two years, the arrogance and arrogance of the past have long been polished, and he is actually quite calm, as soon as he saw Ye Luofu standing by the Mizhi River and looking back at Hexi and crying loudly, he persuaded: "Don't be sad Khan, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, Khan fell like this in an instant, its speed is like a landslide, An Zhilai rΓ¬ Yang Hao will not lose faster than us, defeat more miserably?" Song Guo is not so easy to deal with, although we are defeated, but Song Guo has not been defeated, Pan Mei is a famous Song general, the backer is a hundred times tougher than you and me, Yang Hao is proud for a while, and he may not be able to please him. ”

Ye Luosu said bitterly: "Even if the Song State defeated Yang Hao and crushed him to ashes, it was just a bad breath for me, thinking that your Li family had five states in difficulty, and I looked north and south according to Ganzhou at night, and they were all one side of the hero, and now they are so defeated, and there is no more to come out, isn't it sad?" ”

Li Jiyun's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, gritted his teeth and said: "We are defeated, if we say that there is no way out, then it may not be, even if there is only one soldier left, as long as we find an opportunity, we can also make a comeback!" ”

Ye Luosu just shook his head: "It's difficult, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky, there is no territory, no people, no soldiers and horses, our only way out is to take refuge in the Song Dynasty, be controlled by others, and be a pawn. ”

Li Jiyun smiled and said: "Don't worry about winning, think about defeat first, since my Li family lost Xiazhou and ended up like this, I understand this truth." I have already thought of a way out. ”

Ye Luo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there a way out?" Where to retreat? ”

Li Jiyun pointed forward and said, "Out of Yinzhou, out of Suizhou, into Longyou." Longyou has no owner of this place, the Quartet is competing for hegemony, and now Shang Boqian and Luo Dan are inseparable, you and I go to help, how can Shang Boqian not meet each other. At that time, the Great Khan can be the king of the king, re-recruit the old department in Hexi, gather Longyou Hui for his own use, and I can also recruit Longyou Qiang people, we can regroup, may not be out of opportunity! ”

The god of Yeluo shook his head and blurted out, "Not bad!" Not bad! We haven't reached the end of the mountains and rivers yet, and there is still Longyou to go, but ......"

There is a way out of this, and Ye Luosu suffers from gains and losses again: "Now that you and I have limited soldiers and horses, and we are both wounded and defeated, and our morale is low, can we still break through Yinzhou?" If Yinzhou sends troops to stop ......"

Li Jiyun secretly scolded in his heart: "This old thing, because he was still a hegemon in the Western Regions at the beginning, he has been defeated repeatedly, and he has lost all his courage." ”

Scolding and scolding, now that the two of them are together, there is still a glimmer of life, if they fight separately, it is really a dead end, and he has to be patient to be relieved: "Khan rest assured, before the surprise attack on Xiazhou, he has done a careful investigation of everything he has passed through." Yinzhou chokes Yansui, even Yulin, Nantong Sichuan and Shaanxi, which is a place where soldiers must fight, so it has long been built into an unbreakable fortified city by Yang Hao, but Yang Hao has few soldiers and few generals, and now there are a few good generals under his command, or in Hengshan, or in Shagua Ganliang, or in Xiazhou, so Yinzhou has no good generals.

Now the defenders of Yinzhou are Ke Zhen Evil and Li Yide, this Ke Zhen is more than enough to defend evil, and he is not enterprising enough, and he is not a good general. And that Li Yide was originally the head of the Li clan in Yinzhou, so he was used by Yang Hao, and he is currently the prefect of Yinzhou, and this person does not know soldiers. The importance of Yinzhou, Yang Hao had already told them about it, how could they not know, and how dare they risk leaving the city to defend against the enemy? When I came, the four gates of Yinzhou were closed, as if facing a great enemy, just afraid that I would fight it, hehe, just with those two rammed goods, we just swaggered under the city of Yinzhou, and they did not dare to invite the enemy to us. ”

After hearing this, Ye Luosu relieved his heart and said: "This is very good, you and I are stationed here, rest for a while, and then set off immediately, if you let the pursuers come, then you can't leave if you want to." ”

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

At the head of Yinzhou City, Ke Zhen was dressed in armor and inspected the four cities without a trace of slackness. Although there is no war now, and the defense of the city is impermeable, he is still meticulous, patrolling the city four times in one night, rain or shine. And the scouts stationed outside the city are even more than a hundred miles away, always keeping track of all the movements in the left and near Yinzhou.

Since Yinzhou was lost from his hands once, although Yang Hao did not give him a heavy responsibility, he always kept this shame in his heart, and he never dared to be careless. He was one of the earliest generals who followed Yang Hao, and few people surpassed him in terms of qualifications, but now he is just the defender of a city in Yinzhou, and in the later wars, Yang Hao rarely asked him to come forward, Yang Hao's power is getting bigger and bigger, and his status in Yang Hao's military team is getting worse, Ke Zhen is disgusted and ashamed.

But he has no resentment towards Yang Hao, he knows that although he is a military general of the Tang Dynasty, he has not inherited a few points of his ability to march and fight, in terms of charging into battle, he is not as brave as Mu En, Mu Kui, Ai Yihai and others, and in terms of dispatching troops, he is far inferior to Chongfang, Zhang Pu, Yang Jiye, even if Zhang Chongwei and Li Huating are generals, their skills are much stronger than him.

Therefore, Ke Zhenwei did his part well, while turning out the military book handed down by his ancestors, carrying a copy on his body, and turning it out to read it when he had time, while reading the military book hard, confirming and figuring out what he learned in the book and his actual combat experience, and often discussing with other generals for advice, even if the other party's official rank and status were lower than him, he was not ashamed to ask. After working so hard, even if his body was as strong as an ox, he would be exhausted as soon as he came down.

Draining the heavy armor, Ke Zhenwei sat back on the chair tiredly, Mrs. Mu heard that her husband was back, she had walked out of the inner house, and when she saw her husband's appearance, she felt distressed. Mrs. Mu hurriedly stepped forward, gently rubbed her husband's shoulder, and said softly: "Tired, I stewed an old hen with wolfberries for you, eat something first, and then go to sleep, and patrol the city at night, don't be too tired." ”

"Lady doesn't have to worry about it, my body is bone, and it's not in the way." Ke Zhen patted the back of his wife's hand and said with a smile, he habitually took out more than half of the soldiers and horses from his arms, while enjoying his wife's warmth, he opened it and wanted to take the time to read the previous article, at this moment, a small colonel with a red flag on his back rushed in, hugged his fists and said: "Report!" General Ke, the defeated troops of Ganzhou Yeluosu and Suizhou Li Pishou have come to our Yinzhou, and they are now seventy miles away from the city. ”

Ke Zhenwei was taken aback, stood up, and asked in a deep voice, "How many enemy troops are and how is the army formation?" Have you ever carried siege equipment? ”

The little colonel said: "The number of enemy troops is about 123,000, although it is a defeated army, it is still calm, and it does not carry a chariot, looking at it, it is to flee from Yinzhou to the direction of Suizhou." ”

"Probe!"

"Yes!" The little colonel rushed away, and Ke Zhenwei hurriedly grabbed his armor and hurriedly put it on.

Mu Qingxuan said: "Does the husband want to go to the city to garrison?" ”

Ke Zhen said evilly: "Not bad. Although they don't look like they are going to attack my Yinzhou, but be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, don't be careless, I will immediately go to the city to garrison. ”

Mu Qingxuan thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Why don't you take the initiative to go out of the city, seize the key points, and block his retreat." ”

"Huh?" Ke Zhen's evil hand stopped, looked at his beloved wife in surprise, and hesitated: "Take the initiative to block his retreat outside the city?" ”

Mu Qingxuan approached and said softly: "Husband, when the Suizhou soldiers came, there were nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, and Suizhou was burned. Now, the enemy army has returned from a great defeat, and the military intelligence report says that now the three generals Li Jitan, Zhang Chongwei, and Cheng Shixiong are chasing after them, and the enemy army is in fear and unbearable to fight. ”

"Hmm......" Ke Zhenwei hung the knife on his belt, his eyebrows twisted, and he thought deeply: "Taiwei ordered me to Yinzhou, and now ......, if anything happens, Ke Zhenwei will die and cannot be redeemed." ”

Mu Qingxuan said softly: "Is the husband still blaming himself for the last time he lost Yinzhou? Husband, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, even if it is a military god and a saint, there is no time when he does not lose the battle and does not lose the fighter, if he becomes cautious because of a failure, and he does not dare to take the initiative to capture the fighter, then this person is not defeated once, but because of a failure, he has been a loser for a lifetime.

Now the total strength of the enemy army is only more than 10,000 in total, and all of them are defeated by remnants, and their combat strength can be imagined. Since they are here, the three generals Li, Zhang, and Cheng will arrive with a delay of more than half a rΓ¬. At this time, taking the initiative to defend against the enemy is very risky, and if these two people can be taken down, it will be a matter of great morale for the captain, and the husband can also use this to raise his eyebrows and save his face. If the husband is cowardly and sees them flee from under our noses, what face will he have in front of his colleagues in the future, and will he be able to hold his head up in front of his subordinates? ”

Ke Zhenwei was greatly moved when he heard this, but the failure of the last time almost buried the family of the Tai Lieutenant, and that incident really left an indelible shadow in his heart, so he still hesitated: "Can ...... But Yinzhou is an important gateway for Taiwei, if there is a loss here, Ke Zhen will apologize for his crime with death, and it will be difficult to redeem it. If you really want something, I'm just afraid of ......"

Mu Qingxuan was a little angry, and said in a deep voice: "Husband, the plan is to listen, and it is a momentum to support it." The powerful are also controlled by profit. The method of marudina cannot be rigid, it must be flexible, and it can be bent and stretched. In today's situation, even if the enemy army is in its heyday, it is not easy to take our Yinzhou, not to mention that reinforcements are coming quickly, and the enemy intends to flee. For generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage and strictness are indispensable. If you can't even do this, let's not be this official, the concubine packs her bags, and asks her husband to ask the captain to resign, and you and I will turn back to Mu Kezhai and continue to be a hunter in the mountains. ”

Ke Zhenwei was provoked by his wife, and couldn't help but blush, gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay! I led 5,000 soldiers out of the city to occupy important places and block the enemy's retreat, this Yinzhou city ......"

Mu Qingxuan said: "The concubine body will be put on immediately, and the husband will go to the city to defend against the enemy." Master Li, I will also inform my husband on behalf of you, the soldiers are fast, and you can't delay, husband, since you have made up your mind, you can't have the slightest hesitation! ”

"I'll save it, and I'll go!"

Ke Zhen slapped the scabbard evilly, and the long-lost pride surged out from between his eyebrows, he turned around and left, and when he reached the door of the hall, he suddenly stopped and turned around, and called: "Lady! ”

Mu Qingxuan was wearing armor in the back house when he turned around, turned around when he heard the sound, and said angrily: "What? ”

Ke Zhen shook his head to the ground and said, "Ke Zhen is so evil that he has a good wife, and he has no regrets in this life." With that, he turned around and walked away as fast as he could.

Mu Qingxuan was stunned, looked at his back, suddenly wiped the corners of her eyes, and scolded softly: "This idiot ......" But the corners of her mouth clearly pouted with a sweet smile.

β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»β€»

Mu Qingxuan was anxious for Li Yide on the one hand, and personally put on the head of the city, not to mention the defense of Yinzhou, Kezhen evil point all 5,000 soldiers, all of them rode out of the city gate and galloped to Tanheyan Mountain in the west of Yinzhou City, here is a place where the night Luosu and Suizhou soldiers must flee on the way to escape, if you want to block, this is the most suitable choice.

Ke Zhenwei led the soldiers and horses to Tanheyan Mountain first, and immediately deployed according to the terrain, dug trenches, set up ambush pits, piled fortresses and bent bows, and was in good order under Ke Zhenevil's deployment. Defense is what Ke Zhenwei is best at, and he is the best at using the surrounding terrain, even if it is a grass or a tree, a boulder, or a pit, he can use it.

Although this time was short, under his command, this low mountain was actually built into a decent fortress by him in the shortest possible time. Ke Zhenwei took the legendary Diao Chan Cave as his eyes, raised his eyes and looked at the first-line enemy figure that had just emerged in the distance, and then looked at the defensive position that had been hurriedly deployed.

Ye Luosu and Li Jiyun led the troops to flee to the foot of Tanheyan Mountain, and saw the flags on the mountain from afar, and the soldiers and horses were dense, and Ye Luosu saw the reins in a hurry, and was shocked, and said in fear: "It's over, it's over, it's over, didn't you say that the soldiers and horses in Yinzhou didn't dare to go out of the city to face the battle, what do you think it is?" ”

Li Jiyun saw the momentum of the soldiers waiting in front of him, and his heart suddenly sank: "Miscalculated, I actually miscalculated, is it ...... Could it be that God really wants me Li Jiyun to die here? ”

It's not that they are afraid of battle, it's just that the chasing soldiers are too tight, although this time they are farther away, it won't take half a rì effort, they can catch up, and then look at the formation ahead, I'm afraid that the defenders of Yinzhou have already done their best, and they vow not to allow him to escape with a single soldier. If they really want to fight, they may not be able to take this mountain, and even if they can attack it, it is not something that can be completed in the middle of the night, and the pursuers must have arrived at that time, where will they have a chance to escape again.

All hope came to naught, Li Jiyun looked at the mountain, stunned for a long time, and couldn't think of whether to advance or retreat. Prince Ali saw that the four corporals were hesitant and fearful, and if he delayed any longer, the atmosphere of fear spread, don't say that he wants to fight, this remnant army will immediately collapse and scatter, and if he can't fight, their father and son and the rest of Ganzhou will have to be wiped out today, and immediately pulled out his scimitar and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers have listened, now they will die if they retreat, there is a glimmer of life in the forward, let's kill it!" ”

Ye Luosu and Li Jiyun were awakened by his words, and immediately drew their swords and shouted to the three armies, and the hearts of Fang Yiyi's scattered people were shocked.

Ke Zhenwei stood at the foot of the mountain, seeing the situation of the enemy army, he couldn't help but sneer secretly, and his confidence was doubled, after seeing the enemy army panic and scatter for a moment, he slowly set up an offensive formation under the constraints of the generals, and immediately ordered the headquarters to prepare. ”

"What?" Ke Zhenwei hurriedly took a step forward, grabbed the military book, and it was written in plaintext, Ke Zhenwei hurriedly read it, and a smile on his face suddenly appeared that was more ugly than crying: "Let it go...... Let them escape?! ”
