Chapter 74: The Last Game is Important!

Looking at these five leaders of the rebel army, Zhao Pu's thoughts were extremely complicated, and he said, "I don't know what you call them?" ”

"Don't dare to be, villain Zhang Qing, Taigu people!"

"Villain, Lu Zhishen, once worked as a monk in Wutai Mountain!"

"The villain, Yang Zhi, is from Xiurong County, Xinzhou!"

"The villain, Du Yu, was originally from Bianliang, but he was scattered!"

"Villain, Wang Kang, the ancestor is the Taiyuan clan!"

The five leaders of the rebel army are introduced separately.

Zhao Pu couldn't help but be stunned, and chuckled, Lu Zhishen Isn't this the flower monk in "Water Margin"? It's just that this Lu Zhishen is not wearing a robe, nor is he as powerful as in the TV series, just an ordinary farmer, if he mixes in the crowd, he is very easy to be drowned.

Yang Zhi is not the blue-faced beast, but he has a sense of fierceness, and at first glance, he is a character who has killed people and shot ruthlessly.

The leaders of the five rebels were a little stunned, and they didn't know why this prince was laughing.

Zhao Pu restrained his smile and said, "Everyone, let's go back to our respective mountains!" There are some entanglements here, not much, I hope you don't dislike it! ”

Begin to send the five leaders of the rebels away.

"Lord Wang, we are going to join the Song Army to serve the country!" Lu Zhishen was the first to speak, "A certain family is originally a mountain and grass people, and they usually don't have a bad life, and they barely fill their stomachs, but when the gold thief came, the village was all destroyed, all the women in the village were ruined and died, and the children and the old people were also dead, leaving more than a dozen of us to survive!" Lord, I want to serve the country and kill the barbarians! ”

Yang Zhi also said: "Your Highness, my requirements are not high, I don't want fame and fortune, I just want to be the pawn of the prince and kill the golden dog for the prince!" ”

Wang Kang simply said: "Lord Wang, I want to mix with you and kill the barbarians!" “

Du Yu said: "It's just a battle to defeat the other Song army, and only by following the prince can you win the battle!" ”

Zhang Qingdao: "General ........."

Zhao Pu watched and analyzed, Lu Zhishen joined the army for revenge, Yang Zhi said that he didn't care about fame and fortune, but in fact, fame and fortune were the most important; Wang Kang is simple-minded, joining the army is just joining the army, and he doesn't have too many thoughts; Du Yu joined the army for a big victory. As for Zhang Qing's thoughts, he couldn't see it.

"Join the army?"

Zhao Pu smiled, "Joining the army means fighting." War is not a joke, but death, and there is nothing but death. Once you participate in a battle, no one can guarantee that you will survive to the end, not even me! ”

"For example, this time, when my Song army ambushed the Jin army, there was persistence, and one was defeated, if it wasn't for General Wang Yan to stop it in time, maybe we would have lost this battle. I just got the news recently, and this time my Song army and my Song army rescued Taiyuan in three ways, and the old general in the seed division came to rescue the siege of Taiyuan with an army of 100,000 people, and was defeated by Lou Mur and the living daughter father and son, and the seed division was beheaded in Xiongling. He also defeated Yao Gu's 60,000 rescue division in Yuci, and the elite division of the Song Dynasty was defeated in Lou Room, and later defeated Zhang Hao's army in Jiaocheng, as for how much was lost, I don't know very well. But he probably knew that at least more than 200,000 western troops were wiped out in Hedong. ”

"You just saw that in this battle, my Song army was victorious, but you didn't know that my Song army was already a lone army! Now my Song army is less than 6,000 people, but I have to face nearly 100,000 gold troops, how long can I hold out, it is very doubtful! ”

As soon as Zhao Pu spoke, he did not say anything to win over, nor did he hype up how many achievements the Song army was strong, but threw out one deafening news after another, the three-way Song army, the rescue of Taiyuan, the three-way fiasco, and the three-way death was heavy. At this moment, Zhao Pu's Song army is already a lone army, with no assistance and no rear, like a rootless duckweed, floating in the wind and rain, and may perish at any time.

Yang Zhi, Lu Zhishen and others looked at each other, their eyes were full of shock, is this true?

The 200,000 Shaanxi army perished like this? Is this true!

"Is this true, Lord Wang?"

Zhao Pu said calmly: "This is true, it can't be fake, it can't be fake." As soon as you go back and inquire about it, you will know that this is true? ”

Yang Zhi took a deep breath and asked, "Lord Wang, the situation is so corrupt, you don't seem to be nervous?" ”

"What's so tense about this?" Zhao Pu said calmly, "Isn't it the overall annihilation of the 200,000 Shaanxi Army?" Nothing remarkable, the old doesn't go, the new doesn't! Since the war between Song and Jin, our dynasty has been defeated again and again, and we have been forced to sign an alliance under the city, sending money, women, and cities, and ministers. Shameful things, I have done a lot, and one or two more shameful things are not a big deal! ”

The Shaanxi Army, with three routes of soldiers and horses, totaled more than 200,000 troops, and the whole army was annihilated.

Yesterday, he found out, but after being surprised, he quickly calmed down. In the previous battle, he had a premonition of defeat, and this time it was only to verify his suspicions.

"Lord Wang, 200,000 Shaanxi troops, all annihilated! Is my Da Song really saved? Lu Zhishen was deeply depressed, such corrupt news was extremely damaging to his self-confidence.

Yang Zhi on the side was also mourning.

Wang Kang said: "Lord Wang, it seems that he is not sad or depressed? Now the army led by the prince is already a lone army, and if the Jin army is overwhelmed, the prince will be in danger. The prince should transfer quickly! ”

The Western Army is the elite of the Song Army; The annihilation of the 200,000 Shaanxi army is a huge blow to anyone, but there is no trace of frustration in this prince, some are just calm as water, it seems that this is not a big defeat, but just an insignificant loss.

The composure of this prince also infected him, and his originally restless heart also calmed down.

"At the beginning of the battle, the outcome was already a foregone conclusion. The 200,000 Shaanxi troops lacked food and grass, insufficient equipment, and lacked cooperation with each other. The Jin army was strong, the Jurchens had a strong fighting will, and they were accustomed to repeatedly rushing and killing, often rushing back and forth dozens of times without getting tired. The enemy is strong and I am weak, and if there is no corresponding way to defeat the enemy, it is naturally a material that will be lost! ”

"If my expectations are good, the imperial brother will also send a second way of soldiers and horses to rescue Taiyuan, but it is still defeated! Then maybe Bianliang will fall, the Daimyo Mansion will fall, Guanzhong will fall, Shandong will fall, and many cities in the Great Song Dynasty territory will fall! Zhao Pu's expression was still calm, and he slowly said the sad prophecy.

Wang Kang, Lu Zhishen, Zhang Qing, Yang Zhi, Du Yu and others were all discouraged, they thought about the worst ending, but they didn't expect the ending to collapse like this.

Zhao Pu said: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places. Do you still want to join the army? After joining the army, you may die and become white bones, do you still want to join the army? ”

Wang Kang's tone trembled, and his eyes were a little red: "Could it be that I am a big Song, there is no hope?" Will billions of territories fall into the hands of beasts? ”

"No!" Zhao Pu's calm tone was tinged with strange magic, "Da Song will not die!" ”

"Have you ever played chess?" Zhao Pu suddenly asked.

Wang Kang, Lu Zhishen and others immediately couldn't turn around, this kind of thinking span is too big, just now when they were talking about the fall of the Great Song Dynasty territory and the moment of danger, this moment turned to playing chess, what is going on?

Zhao Pu asked and replied: "Chess is like life, life is like chess, war is also chess, but chess is different from war." In chess, the winner is that whoever wins the most times is the winner. But war is different, and the key to winning or losing a war is not who wins more, but ............ In the final game, who wins! Even if you win 99 games in a row, once you lose the last battle, you still have a change of hands. ”

"Chu and Han fought for hegemony, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought, Liu Bang can be said to have been defeated repeatedly, losing ninety-nine times in a row; Xiang Yu, on the other hand, has won many battles and won ninety-nine times in a row. But in the last game, Liu Bang won, a battle under the wall, Xiang Yu was defeated, defeated, and the country changed hands! ”

"War is like chess, you don't have to win every time, and you don't have to care how many times you lose, as long as you win the last game of chess, it's enough!"

In the end, Zhao Pu said, "You can lose a hundred battles, but you can't lose a war!" ”

"The Jin army has won, Wanyan will not leave, Wanyan is sticky, Wanyan Lou is really awesome, I beat my Great Song Army and abandoned its armor, and the loser lost to my grandma's house! But we don't care, as long as we don't lose our capital, we have a chance to make a comeback. Even if it is repeated defeats, it is enough to have the last laugh! ”

There is no shame in defeating the battle, no one will win a big battle in a lifetime, Yue Fei can't do it, and Chairman Mao can't do it.

The shame is that he was defeated, frightened of his courage, ceded the land and paid compensation, and became a grandson.

At the beginning of the Soviet-German war, the Soviet Army had about 5 million troops before the war, and by the end of 41, basically the nearly 3 million standing armies of the Soviet Army on the Western Front before the war were basically exhausted, of which 800,000 were killed and 3 million were captured or missing. Almost seven layers of troops were wiped out, but the Soviet Union still held on and refused to surrender, so it ended up in Germany.

But in the Great Song Dynasty, this kind of backbone is lacking;

If there was such a backbone, the Jin Kingdom would have been extinguished long ago.
