"Stand down!" Yue Fei said.

The generals present were a little dissatisfied, but they could only retreat, after all, they were the marshals of the emperor's own titles, and even the deputy marshal Wang Shouyi was extremely respectful.

Suddenly, in the camp tent, only Marshal Yue Fei and Deputy Marshal Wang Shouyi remained.

"Marshal, please send troops to fight?" Wang Shouyi continued.

People breathe a breath, and the Buddha is a stick of incense!

In the past, Li Pojun and Wang Shouyi were both at the same level, but now Li Pojun defeated the Jin Army and achieved a great victory in Luoshui, but he continued to confront each other here and continued to eat idle meals, so he felt a little uncomfortable.

"What are the chances of winning this battle?" Yue Fei didn't answer, but asked.

"The odds?" Wang Shouyi thought for a long time and said, "There are only five layers of chance, if you add gunpowder weapons, you can barely have a sixty percent chance of winning!" ”

"Sixth-tier odds?" Yue Fei nodded, this was similar to his estimate, "It's just that the odds of winning at the sixth level are not enough." The six-tier odds are equal to gambling. And we can't afford to lose, once we lose, we will bury 200,000 troops here, and then our generals will be greatly damaged, and we will not be able to easily go north for at least five years. The great defeat in this battle has further dampened the morale of our DPRK and will cause a devastating blow, and we cannot afford to lose. ”

"If this battle is lost, even if we cut you and me a hundred times, it will be difficult to offset the sin!"

"We can't gamble, and we can't afford to gamble!"

Wang Shouyi nodded and agreed deeply. Don't look at the emperor before parting, the emperor looks open-minded and doesn't care about failure; But who knows, can't afford to lose, once the 200,000 troops are wiped out, then can only be ruled by rowing the river, the so-called recovery of the old land, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, etc., is just talk, there is no longer a chance!

Wang Shouyi said: "But is it just like this?" How much food does the 200,000 army consume in a day, and if the stalemate continues, the treasury will be exhausted, and there will be a change of generals at that time, and you and I will be the second in Lian Po at that time! ”

Lian Po was replaced, and later generations always attributed it to Qin's anti-intrigue and to the distrust of King Zhao, in fact, the fundamental reason was that the stalemate in the past two years had exhausted Zhao's family and could no longer support it.

At last. He may not be killed by the Qin army, but he will also starve to death due to lack of food and grass.

"If the stalemate continues, those scholars and doctors in the court will inevitably gossip, even if the emperor doesn't care, how can we not care. 200,000 troops. From training, provisions, etc. How much food was spent. Is it just for the sake of doing nothing? ”

Wang Shouyi said, "The odds of winning on the sixth floor are a little low, but it's enough. We have to fight. If the confrontation continues, the morale will be dissipated, and the whole army will be defeated without defeat. I don't have a choice! ”

"I knew I couldn't go on like this, but even if I couldn't fight. I also have to send troops to kill. Marshal, I am willing to ask for orders to lead an army of 30,000 to attack the Jin army! Wang Shouyi pleaded.

Yue Fei was a little helpless.

Wang Shouyi is only a deputy marshal, but when it comes to prestige. When it comes to the use of soldiers, it is no less than him, and if you want to overthrow him, it is easy. However, since the two of them partnered to command the Eastern Route Army, Wang Shouyi can be said to have fulfilled his duties, could not find a trace of shortcomings, and often made up for some of his omissions. The demands made at this moment are not excessive.

It's just that the war is a whole, and the 30,000-strong army is dispatched, and the involvement is great, and if it is victorious, whether to continue to advance or retreat; If it fails, is it a rescue, or a bystander, and what if the rescue is ambushed......

It's just that there are some things that Wang Shouyi said very rightly, we must fight, and if we continue to confront each other, it will have a great impact on the morale of the whole army, and we have to fight.

"At this time, the decisive battle is only a six-layer victory, not enough, not enough! You have to wait until the seventh, or even eighth, chance of winning before you can go out of the city to fight. ”

"We can't afford to lose this battle. If you and I are just a general, commanding 10,000 or 20,000 people, the six-story odds of winning are enough; But now you and I are both marshals of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and we must have seven, eight, or even nine layers to fight! "Yue Feidao." Just because we can't afford to lose! ”

Can't afford to lose!

If you are just a general, commanding an army of thousands, tens of thousands, you can take a risk to fight, and if you fail, it is just a death.

However, as a marshal, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, he must be cautious, no matter how risky his ideas are, he must suppress them, and he can only adopt the method of steady warfare, and he cannot tolerate a trace of failure.

In the event of defeat, hundreds of thousands of troops will be annihilated, and the fortunes of the country will be reversed.

This is the difference between a general and a marshal.

Vaguely, Yue Fei was a little envious of Li Pojun, because he had little capital, he could fight for it; And his capital is too thick, he doesn't dare to fight at all!

"When does the marshal decide when to fight, wait until the moment when the Jin army retreats and lures the enemy deeper?" Yue Fei smiled, his eyes flashing with wisdom.

"The moment when the Jin army lured the enemy deeper?" Wang Shouyi's eyes lit up, and he vaguely understood.

If the confrontation continues, it will inevitably be invincible. It's just that this confrontation will not last long, it will be broken soon, and once the confrontation is broken, when the armies of both sides move, the fighters will come.

At that time, the Jin army will show its flaws, and the fighters will come!!

"How long will it take, give an exact time?" Wang Shouyi said.

"No more than two months!"

"Two months, good! I put up with it! Wang Shouyi took a deep breath and withdrew from the big tent.

And Yue Fei also breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally solved the "forced palace".

…………

It has been three months since the Northern Expedition began.

The Middle Route Army achieved a great victory in Luoshui, which was very happy; The Western Route Army also regained lost territory all the way, and it seemed that in a moment, the Jin Army would be driven out of Shaanxi.

In contrast, the Eastern Route Army, which has always given high hopes, has a much bleaker record, and the front has been maintained in Huai'an for three months, but the deadlock has not yet been broken.

At this time, rumors also spread.

There is no way, the people in Jiangnan are too idle, and the idle eggs hurt, so they keep talking nonsense to pass the loneliness.

Some people say that Yue Fei is Zhao Kuo's second, and he can only talk about the army on paper, and the specific command of the war is not good at all;

Some say that Yue Fei was timid and cowardly, and did not dare to fight with the Jin army, like a turtle with a shrunken head, and the turtle cowered in the village;

Some people say that Yue Fei will lose this battle, and the official family must change generals in order to break the enemy in one fell swoop.

All kinds of rumors, under the operation of well-intentioned people, began to spread everywhere, spreading more and more widely, these are all negative news about Yue Fei.

Some rumors even entered the palace and were known to the emperor Zhao Pu.

At this time, some officials also wrote letters one after another, asking to urge Yue Fei to send troops quickly; And the officials of the household department also wrote a book, saying that the treasury had no money.

As soon as the cannon goes off, ten thousand taels of gold!

Fighting a war is the most expensive thing. Before the start of the Northern Expedition, Zhao Pu still felt that the treasury had a lot of money, and he was thinking of ways to spend money and maintain a balance between fiscal revenues and expenditures; But after the Northern Expedition, money was spent everywhere, and poverty was cried everywhere.

The money in the treasury flowed away like flowing water.

At this time, it was mainly the canal that transported grain and grass, which saved labor and was much more convenient, otherwise it would cost more.

Looking at the baskets of concerts, all of them scolded Yue Fei and refuted Yue Fei, Zhao Pu had to sigh, the inertia of history is really great, and Yue Fei's popularity is still as bad as ever.

"It's a headache!"

Zhao Pu did have a headache, and he had a good life before the Northern Expedition; But after the Northern Expedition, there were a lot more concerts and a lot more work.

"Xiao Yueyue, rub my head for me, my head has turned into paste!"

Lying on the chair, Zhao Pu had a feeling of collapse.

At this time, a pair of dexterous hands, holding his shoulders, began to massage.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"

"It's better!"

"The Northern Expedition is really not a human thing, the soldiers are working the front line; And here I am, tired and half dead, some people scolded half to death! Zhao Pu sighed.

"Your Majesty, if you are tired, you can go and see the draft, that woman is suitable and can be used to sleep?" Wang Wuyue said.

"Forget it! Now it's Diao Xi Shi, put it in front of me, and I'm not in the mood! Zhao Pu only felt that his heart was very tired.

"There are very few wars in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people have poor endurance, and at this time the front line is just a stalemate, and some people say irresponsible things, if there is a big defeat, I don't know what kind of basket will appear."

"What is the Northern Expedition? The Northern Expedition is to cut off the life of the Jin Kingdom, and it is strange that the Jurchens do not work hard! What is a short confrontation, I am even mentally prepared for the defeat of the Eastern Route Army and the annihilation of the entire army! ”

"I really thought that the Northern Expedition was a game of chess, and I really thought that the Northern Expedition was fun! Jiangnan people, they don't take the Northern Expedition seriously! ”

"Your Majesty......" For a while, Wang Wuyue didn't know what to do.

"What is going to war, fighting a war itself is a gamble. No one dares to say that they are sure of victory, even if they are peerless, they dare not be so arrogant with a tenfold advantage. ”

"This time, we have hole cards, mainly powerful gunpowder weapons; Jin Jun also has hole cards, but I don't know what they are. Only after the battle starts, it is possible to know, no one knows what killer weapon the Jin army will make? ”

"In this Northern Expedition, I have been mentally prepared for the worst, I have been prepared for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of troops to be annihilated by the Jin army, and I am ready to fight the defensive battle of the Yangtze River. I have prepared for the worst, but those people are delusional about destroying the Jin Kingdom in a war, and they really think that the Jin Army is a paper paste! ”

"Luckily, there was a big victory in Luoshui, maybe the western front, or the eastern front, will be another big defeat!"

"For the general, try to be as prepared as possible, and try not to let luck dictate success or failure, just fine. The odds of winning are too big, or the odds of winning are too small, and they often can't be opened, and it feels like it's almost ready to fight. And this time, Yue Fei and Wang Shouyi led the army to confront Zonghan's army, obviously thinking that the chances of victory were not great, and the victory was a little slim, so they stuck to the camp and did not come out. And these people, who don't understand military affairs, are blindly involved, and bastards are not bastards! I really thought that fighting a war was a child's play. (To be continued......)
