"Let's go, go to the castle!" Zhao Pu said to the middle-aged housekeeper.

This middle-aged housekeeper, named Zhao Lei, was a caring old man, and immediately stopped: "Your Highness, the sword and arrow have no eyes, if you hurt Your Highness like this, then I will die!" ”

"Come on! Be careful, it's not that easy to die! Zhao Puman said nonchalantly: "Isn't it the siege of the Jin army?" Nothing remarkable. The walls of Bianliang City are too high and thick, and it is almost a dream to capture Bianliang overnight. If you want to capture Bianliang City, you must die at least tens of thousands of people! ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly walked towards the city wall, and Zhao Lei, the housekeeper in the back, couldn't stop him if he wanted to.

Walking down the street, there is a feeling of chaos. The news of the Jin army's siege spread like a plague, and the people in the city immediately panicked, and a large number of people in front of some rice shops were crowding, rushing to buy food. And the Qinglou, which is usually thriving and lively, has been depressed a lot. On the street, many shops are closed, and everything is about to come in a stormy manner.

Ignoring this, Zhao Pu got into the carriage and said to the coachman: "Take me to the East City Gate!" ”

"Your Highness, no, the Jin army is besieging the city, there is a battle there, and there are dead people everywhere!" The coachman refused, saying that he would not go to the East Gate.

"Hmph, the Jin army is also human, and he attacked the two large battalions in the north and south last night, plus he has been fighting for days, and he is already as tired as a dead dog. If you still want to attack the city, dream! Maybe I'm so tired that I'm asleep right now! Zhao Pu said, at this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a bold battle plan flashed in his heart. If you sneak attack the Jin army camp now, the Jin army will be tired and will be defeated. But it was immediately denied, such a waste forbidden army, no matter how clever the plan is, it is scum.

Under Zhao Pu's reward, the coachman drove the carriage tremblingly and headed towards the east city gate.

Soon arrived at the east city gate, and saw that there were no guards around at all, some were just a group of untidy and flustered soldiers, who were piling sandbags at the door, and their eyes were full of panic.

A captain said with panic: "Hurry up and pile up sandbags, don't let the Jin army come in, if the Jin army comes in, we will be finished!" ”

Zhao Pu shook his head in disappointment, Bianliang City is too big, there are too many city gates, if you want to block them one by one, how much time will it take, it is better to rectify the army and actively prepare for war. However, this lieutenant is not bad, he ran away without throwing his legs, and he was much better than those officers who left their soldiers and fled.

Ignoring these, Zhao Pu climbed down the steps to the city tower, but he was disappointed that there was not a single soldier stopping him along the way. I saw only the soldiers helping the siege equipment in a panic, and there were no soldiers who were on guard at all, maybe someone saw him, but when they saw his decoration, they knew that he was a rich man, and he didn't stop him.

Fortunately, he is not a spy of the Jin Army, otherwise he would have made a fortune......

"Luck! Fortunately, the Jin army came in a hurry, just hitting the grass valley, and did not think about attacking the city; Fortunately, the spies of the Jin army are not very developed, and the number of spies in Bianliang City is limited, otherwise send a troop, don't ask too much, only need five hundred, fish in troubled waters, and then seize a city gate, take the opportunity to enter the palace, then it will be ...... It's really a dead country overnight! Zhao Pu shuddered in his heart.

On the tower of the city gate, the alert is so low, almost unfortified, if you want to cooperate with the outside, it is too easy to seize the city gate.

Song Jun actually made such a fatal mistake!

Fortunately, Song Jun is making mistakes, and Jin Jun is also making mistakes.

This made Zhao Pu, who was extremely disappointed, relieved in his heart. As the great man said, war is constantly making mistakes, both sides are making mistakes, even the victorious general cannot guarantee that his side will not make mistakes, and in order to achieve the final victory, you must continue to shrink, or hide your own mistakes, and at the same time keenly grasp the enemy's flaws, a decisive blow, and kill instantly.

Ascending the city tower, Zhao Pu was discovered.

"Who are you?" A man who looked like a general asked

"Bold, this is His Royal Highness King Yi!" This is, butler Zhao Lei said.

"Your Highness is not a member of the army, why do you want to go to the city tower. There will soon be a fierce battle on the castle tower, but His Royal Highness the King of Ceremonies should leave quickly, so as not to be injured by the arrows! The general was still neither arrogant nor humble.

"Today, the Jin army is tired, and it is the vanguard again, so it will only feint!" Zhao Puman said nonchalantly, "I don't know the general's surname?" ”

"Down, Zhang Yan!"

Talking and talking, Zhang Yan, as a front-line general, has first-hand information about the situation of defending the city, which is more accurate than staying at home and thinking wildly. Listening carefully to these accounts, Zhao Pu roughly estimated the strength of the enemy and us, as well as the city defense situation of Bianliang City.

From Zhang Yan's mouth, Zhao Pu knew the detailed inside story of the battle last night.

There are many cavalry in the Jin army, and the advantage of cavalry is speed, based on speed, forming a devastating attack force, and it is very difficult for infantry to resist on the plains, often requiring three times or even more. If it's a late-night raid, it's even more powerful.

In addition to some of the Song troops stationed in the city, most of them were distributed in some suburban camps outside the city. Outside the city, the army was divided into two large battalions, north and south, with nearly 300,000 troops stationed. Just last night, about 10,000 Jin army vanguards quickly arrived, and then launched an attack on the northern and southern camps.

The forbidden army, which has not experienced war for a long time, has lax armaments, and has withheld food has long been an empty shelf, with 300,000 empty troops, but its combat strength is pitifully low. Just a charge, a fire, the whole camp completely collapsed, like a sheep, running around.

And all the Jin army needs to do is to chase and kill behind, and when they see that there are signs of convergence of the army there, they will rush there.

The 300,000 troops ran all over the mountains, but no matter how fast they ran, no horses could run as fast as they could, they were destined to be either cut down or taken prisoner, and only a very few escaped.

"Your Highness, I just can't figure it out, no matter how powerful the cavalry of the Jin Army is, but my Song Army guards the camp, and it's okay to keep it all night, but it's gone overnight. Are we too wasteful, or are the Jin Jun too powerful! Zhang Yan asked a little unthinkingly.

"General Zhang, war is not more than people, whoever has more people in the army will be the victor. In this way, there is no need to fight, just count the heads, and whoever has more will win! Zhao Pu said with a smile, "The soldiers are not expensive!" ”

It can be said that the Song Dynasty has the largest number of Chinese armies in all dynasties, but its combat effectiveness has fallen to the extreme, and it is bound to lose almost every battle. Even with famous generals like Di Qing and Yue Fei, they could not save the situation of the Song Dynasty's decline, and they were often undefeated and defeated, and the fate of these famous generals was extremely tragic.

Some people say that the poor combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army stemmed from the reverence for literature and the suppression of martial arts. In fact, this is partial, in peacetime, which country does not worship literature and suppress military force. After a hundred years of peace, what country's army will not decline in combat effectiveness? It's just that there are very few like the Song Dynasty that are rapidly declining.

"Your Highness, do you think the Jin Army can come in?" Zhang Yan asked a little blankly.

"I don't know if these barbarians can get in, but I know that if you want to capture Bianliang City, you have to leave at least tens of thousands of corpses. If you want to eat walnuts, you must be mentally prepared to break your teeth! Zhao Pu said viciously.

"I see!" Zhang Yan nodded suddenly, there was no longer confusion in his eyes, there was only firmness, and the courage to die.

………

In front of the city tower, looking from a distance, the iron cavalry of the Jin army swam everywhere, as if demonstrating, and the strings of prisoners were like sugar gourds. And in the distance, the camp was still smoking, and it had not burned out completely. After taking a general look at the city defense offensive of Bianliang City, Zhao Pu only had one feeling that the donkey skills were poor.

The seemingly tall city wall is not as unbreakable as imagined, and the archers in the city, the rolling wood and thunder stones in the city, etc., are also scarce.

What worries him even more is that the city wall may be a tofu scum project.

The Song Dynasty was a society where the commodity economy flourished, and it was also the only era in which merchants were not suppressed, on the eve of a capitalist society. But it is also an era of the supremacy of money worship, the supremacy of money, from the emperor to the common people, all believe that the problem can be solved with money, and it is not a problem.

Zhao Kuangyin said that if you buy a Liao army head for twenty guan, you can wipe out the Liao army and recover the sixteen states of Youyun for two million. It's a pity that fighting a war is not an arithmetic, and if you treat a war as an arithmetic problem, you will inevitably suffer.

Later, in the alliance of Lanyuan, Song Zhenzong spent money to buy Taiping, but unfortunately money can only buy greed, but it can't sell Taiping.

Song Renzong spent a lot of coins and created millions of troops, wanting to build a strong national defense, but unfortunately money could not sell a strong national defense.

Among the officials, the supremacy of money is pursued, and when the profit reaches fifty percent, unscrupulous means; When the profit reaches 100 percent, it will take risks; When the profit reaches 200 percent, they dare to trample on all the laws, dignity and morality of the world and sacrifice themselves for money......

Every year, the imperial court pulls out a large amount of money to repair the city walls, but most of them are embezzled. There is no way, the Song Dynasty did not have an anti-corruption bureau, but had a fine tradition of not killing scholars. That is to say, as long as you are a scholar, even if you embezzle a lot of money, you will not kill it, at most you will be demoted or exiled.

In order to test whether his conjecture was correct, Zhao Pu went to a section of the city wall that had just been newly repaired this year, and only stabbed it slightly with a dagger, which was a big hole.

"Woo, I guessed right! There is nothing in the world that they dare not do! Zhao Pu was furious. At this moment, what he wants to do most is to set up an anti-corruption bureau and cut down those corrupt officials one by one.
