At this time, an unexpected person suddenly spoke, and said: "The art of war, please make peace without an appointment, and seek it, he will have a plan, and he will win if he attacks quickly." ”

Song Jiu looked at it and knew Liu Kai in Cai Zhi County.

It is said that he is the fifth-generation grandson of Liu Zongyuan, a famous scribe, who once slandered each other with Liang Zhouhan, Gao Xi, Fan Gao and others as Xi Shangchun and Gu, and became famous for a while, that is, the pioneer of the retro school. To explain it simply, when writing articles, you can no longer write gorgeous and empty prose styles, but learn the ancient prose style of Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan. However, his career is far inferior to the first three, Gao Xi and Liang Zhouhan have already achieved fame, not to mention Fan Gao. Liu Kai was not admitted to the Jinshi until the sixth year of Tianbao. Once known Changzhou Runzhou, worship the imperial history, the palace served the imperial history. This year, he sat in a fierce fight with the prison army and was demoted to Shangcai Zhi County.

This is caused by his character, he is rude, he claims to be a teacher of Confucius and friends Meng Ke, Qi Yangxiong and shoulder Han Yu, Song Jiu heard about it and deliberately asked the little official to send his poems, not only smiled after reading it, although it was not bad, but compared with Yang Xiong Han Yu...... Needless to say, how many people have read his works? His original name was Liu Shouyu, it is estimated that this name was not his earlier name, and then he became more and more crazy, and his ancestors Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu were no longer in his eyes, so he changed his name, Liu Kai. I want to set a precedent......

When I arrived in Shangcai County, the Northern Expedition of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians had to consume how much grain and grass materials, the three-way army, 200,000 regular forbidden soldiers, about 100,000 Xiangxiang soldiers plus archers, and 20,000 people on sea boats, as well as more than 100,000 people. The amount of materials consumed in a day may be one million catties.

Therefore, the rear is not only responsible for paying food, but also responsible for providing people. So Liu Kai came to the front line from Shangcai County with grain and grass and people's husbands.

Liu Kai couldn't count Yelu Hugo's intentions.

However, there is a saying among the people, there is nothing to be courteous. Either traitor or theft.

The meaning is pretty much the same.

Mixin disagrees.

He also wanted to defeat Jeruxiu, but the opponent had few troops. However, there are all cavalry, and there are also cavalry in the Song army, but the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, and if they catch up, they will not win, and they may be sent a big meal.

Song Jiu also disagreed, that was Brother Yelu Xiu, and he would win if he attacked in a hurry?

Ha Luha, find a Han Xin from the Song Army.

But at this time, Song Jiu was also making mistakes, and later generations were inexplicably scandalizing the Song Dynasty. Yes, the Song Dynasty made a major mistake, but was the Song Dynasty really weak? At least the Song Dynasty dared to fight, instead of protesting like little ladies every day. The Song Dynasty spent money to buy An, but it did buy the security of the Liao State, instead of spending money to buy An in disguise, but it didn't buy An at all!

Therefore, he mythologized Yelu Hugo in his heart, and he also talked about national strength and morale. It is also necessary to talk about the right time, place and people, otherwise Jeruxiu will lose...... It's just that the one who can really defeat Jelu Hugo is still behind the mountain.

However, Song Jiu was more calm than the others, Liu Kai said to fight, and Mi Xin said that he couldn't fight. Let's ignore him and continue to attack Zhuozhou City.

Everyone agreed with Mixin.

Song Jiu was thinking about the real reason why Brother Yelu Xiu asked for peace.

Watching the Song army conquer Zhuozhou again, Yelu Huge was also gone. This time, the two armies were united, and more than 100,000 soldiers were prohibited. Tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops, tens of thousands of people. It's almost comparable to the strength of the Takaliang River. If it is lined up in a phalanx, it can be as wide as five or six miles, and as long as six or seven miles.

There is almost no edge in sight.

If the formation is chaotic, you can still make a profit, but that's it, the Song army is in a neat formation, and the troops in his hands don't want to make a big profit.

The mighty Song army almost submerged Zhuozhou City.

Song Jiu also looked at the numb scalp, he thought of Han Xin and Liu Bang's words, Liu Bang asked Han Xin, how many troops can I lead, Han Xin said 100,000, Liu Bang asked Han Xin, what about you, Han Xin said, the more the better. Can Liu Bang lead an army of more than 100,000? Look at his battle with the Huns.

Lack of ability, the more soldiers and horses you lead, the more like a child pulling a cart, it's better on flat ground, it's a big deal if you can't pull it, but when you are on a cliff, it's a car that rolls over and people die!

Anyway, Song Jiu was not sure that he could command so many soldiers and horses.

Cao Bin can't either.

It didn't take long for Zhuozhou City to change hands again.

Zhuozhou was called Fanyang in ancient times, and Zhuoshui is in the north, and the city is rich in water resources, and there are many wells.

At this time, the soldiers were tired and hot, and one by one they poured into the city, and poured cold well water with buckets, and when they were done, they were like dogs, lying on the ground motionless. was really tired, including Song Jiu, regardless of the armor on his body, he picked up the well water from the king pillow with his hand and rushed it to his face.

But immediately raised his head and shouted, "Not good. ”

Then hurriedly found Cao Bin, Mi Xin, and Cui Yanjin.

In fact, not only the three of them, but also the main force of the East Road also has the supervising army Guo Shouwen, and the Second Road Mixin Department also has the deputy general Du Yangui, Zhao Yanpu, Zhang Shaoqing, and Dong Yuan.

Du Yangui is in the northwest of Jiu Town, and he also has an identity, that is, the son of Zhao Da Zhao's second mother, Mrs. Du's elder brother, Du Xianqiong, and Zhao Kuangyi's maternal uncle.

Guo Shouwen is the guy who ruled the Yellow River and burst the embankment, with Wang Quanbin under the chin Shu, with Pan Mei to the Southern Han Dynasty, after Guo Jin's death, the soldiers entered Shiling Pass, Xia Daizhou, and stationed in the northwest Li Jiqian was repeatedly defeated, and the Yellow River made him suffer, but even Song Jiu went down, and there was no good way. But this person is very capable of fighting, and his achievements are impressive.

Zhao Yanpu, Zhang Shaoqing, and Dong Yuan are three veterans and brave generals, who either became famous in the north or in the northwest.

In fact, in addition to them, people like Pu Qian, Li Yanyun, Ma Zhen, Fan Yanzhao, Cai Yu, Han Yanqing, Dou Hui, Cao Mei, Chen Yanshan, Yang Ye, Shi Qi and others are all veterans who have been famous for a long time.

If we force the analogy, then this battle is like a sheep leading countless lions......

But Cao Bin is qualified, Mi Xin and Cui Yanjin are also qualified, Cao Bin made a mistake, and the generals were not convinced, so Song Jiu did not call them, maybe he didn't say it well, but the more he talked about it, the more things he said, and he could quarrel on the spot like where Xiongzhou was.

In fact, Song Jiu thinks that others are wrong, but it is himself, is it really Cao Bin's transfer? Not only did he not listen to it much, but on the contrary, he had already really started and thought carefully.

In short, now the entire camp of the Song army is in a state of serious loss of control of its own orders.

However, on the bright side, everyone still has to give Song Jiu face. The three of them looked at Song Jiu, and Song Jiu said, "Gong Cao." General Mi, General Choi. Withdraw the troops immediately, it may be too late to withdraw now, and if we don't withdraw now, the consequences will be extremely serious. ”

"Withdrawing troops?" Cao Bin was displeased, and finally returned to Zhuozhou City, took Zhuozhou again, and had to withdraw his troops?

"If you don't withdraw it, you will also withdraw to the new city."

"Tell me why," Cui Yanjin said.

He was the adjutant general of the main army of the Eastern Road. But he completely fell out with Cao Bin.

"Because Jeruxiuge asks for peace."

"He will withdraw his troops if he asks for peace?"

"General Cui, do you think that the first brave general of the Khitan and the third Yu Yue after the founding of the Khitan state, can he ask our army for peace?"

"No, why does he want to ask for peace?"

"We came from Baigou, harassed all the way, and it took almost twenty days to reach Qigou Pass."

"So what, this is to hinder the advance of our army and demoralize our army. The normal way of employing troops. ”

"Why did General Cao set out from Qigou Pass, and didn't see how to harass us, so that our army arrived at the city of Zhuozhou in four days?"

"Tell me what you think."

"I thought about it, and I had a very bad guess in my mind. The reason why Yelu Hugo went out of the city to stop our army was that about Liao sent reinforcements to snipe General Tian's Middle Route Army and General Pan's Western Route Army. But we still forget that there is one point in Liao, that is, everyone is a soldier. Although it is impossible to really achieve that everyone is a soldier, we want to draw out three or four hundred thousand troops. It can still be done. It's just that it takes time, slowly drawn from the ministries. Rendezvous again. It was possible that one of them would have gone to the Sangan River, but because our army had dragged on for a long time, new reinforcements had arrived. Our army was also transferred from all parts of the rear, and finally came to Xiongzhou, and immediately entered Gu'an, went down to Zhuozhou New Town, and then returned to Xiongzhou for food because of grain and grass. The generals were divided and demoralized. At this time, they advanced into Zhuozhou again, the soldiers were tired, and the three armies were tired. Therefore, the Liao State may change its mind, so Yelu Hugo simply let us go to Zhuozhou and go deep into the Liao realm. However, it may be that for some reason, the Liao reinforcements have not yet arrived, so Yelu Hugo asks us for peace and confuses us, so as to gain two precious days. ”

"Are you sure?" Cao Bin asked.

Song Jiu was confused.

Are you sure? If he could guess Yelu Huge's intentions, then he would have to work so hard to directly ask Zhao Kuangyi to go on the expedition as the main general.

Cui Yanjin thought about it, but Cao Bin was very displeased.

Mi Xin was a good old man and said: "In this way, we will send spies to let them probe as far as possible, and if the wind blows, we can also prepare in advance." ”

Song Jiu was a little reluctant, if it was as he guessed, it would be dangerous to stay for one day.

Cui Yanjin actually wanted to go along with it, but he had already hit this place, and then immediately withdrew, Song Jiu was a Wenchen, and said that there was nothing wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Song Jiu sighed and said, "That's it." ”

When he came back, he immediately found Yang Ye, Fu Zhaoshou and Liu Zhixin, and even found Shi Qi alone, and said seriously: "Once there is a change, try my best to disturb it." ”

It is very difficult, there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the three subordinates are just one of the small waves, and some are moving forward, and some are Chinese troops, but if you have the heart, there will be a way.

Maybe Song Jiu guessed wrong, maybe Brother Yelu Xiu thought that he had added to the snake by inviting peace, and two days later, Brother Yelu Xiu came again.

Zhuozhou City is not very small, nor is it very large, only the city can not be stationed so many soldiers and horses, many soldiers and horses are stationed outside the city.

Brother Yelu Xiu came to harass again, Mi Xin Ha Lu Ha smiled, and said: "Xiao Jiu, you are wrong, Brother Yelu Xiu is running out of arrows, and he deliberately asked for peace, and now the arrows are transported from the rear, and he is making trouble again." ”

Mi credited the word troublemaker.

Cao Bin and Cui Yanjin were silent.

When he came to the front line, Song Jiu realized that Zhao Kuangyi also made a serious mistake in employing people, that is, putting Cao Bin and Cui Yan together.

Cui Yanjin's qualifications are very old, at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, there were three generals and four generals, the first was Zhang Qiong, and then Cui Yanjin, Liu Guangyi and Han Chongyun. At that time, Cao Bin had not yet made a career, and there was no contradiction between the two sides. But it's also a problem, that is, Cui Yanjin's qualifications are really old, and he is afraid of people. If there is no Bashu, it doesn't matter, and then when you go to Bashu, Cui Yanjin and Wang Quanbin are the North Route Army, and Cao Bin is the East Route Army, because Cui Yanjin and Wang Quanbin burned and looted in the Shu War, Wang Cui was demoted together, and Cao Bin stood out.

It doesn't matter.

Over the years, Cui Yanjin has been stationed in Hebei and has fought many wars with the Liao State, and his contributions are remarkable.

Zhao Kuangyi didn't let him be the main general, only let him be the deputy general, or Cao Bin's deputy general, Cui Yanjin was depressed as you can imagine.

If Cao Bin is capable, but Cao Bin is incapable, so Cui Yanjin in Xiongzhou led many unruly generals to rebel.

Song Jiu asked softly: "Even if he makes trouble, General Mi, do you think the Second Army of the Central and Western Routes can join our army?" If you can't meet, what is the use of staying in Zhuozhou and losing your life and money? Or do you think we can get Youzhou back along the way? (To be continued......)
