"It's no wonder that when Jiurou discussed this morning, he strongly supported His Majesty's edict."

"Erlang ......" Song Jiu finally didn't say.

Fu Zhaoshou came to gild, but he didn't understand anything at all, thinking that he was still restrained by supporting Zhao Kuangyi's holy decree in the morning.

Zhao Kuangyi's holy decree is not very clever and cannot be exaggerated.

The first one relied on the Mixin army, and the Mixin army was in Xincheng, not in Zhuozhou, far away from Youzhou, and the deterrent power was insufficient.

Second, Cao Bin withdrew to eat, that is, he did not wait for the arrival of fifty days of grain and grass in the rear, and rushed to the new city in time, which also allowed Liao to win a precious ten days.

Thirdly, Cao Bin made this low-level mistake, which shows that he is incompetent. Is an incompetent manager worth fearing? Don't talk about Brother Yeluxiu, even if he is in Youzhou, he will not be afraid, such an incompetent general, can he take Youzhou, can't he just ignore it, continue to transfer the troops that arrived in advance to the back of the mountain, and continue to break through each one.

However, Zhao Kuangyi's heart is not dead, Youzhou has not yet been taken down, with the driving department member Wailang Liang descendant Zhiyingzhou, supervising the imperial history Zhang Li involved in Shuozhou, right Zanshan doctor Ma Wucheng Tongzhi Huanzhou, Chongyi made Wei Zhen know Ulzhou, and left Zhang Shu to know Yunzhou.

The actual army was wrong before it was launched.

In the capital, Song Jiu felt that something was wrong, and Yang Ye reminded him that something was wrong, and said two things, it was too far away, it was inconvenient to cooperate, and he was worried that Cao Bin's ability was not enough. However, not the main thing yet.

It wasn't until he withdrew from Zhuozhou to eat that Song Jiu remembered.

Where is wrong, Jeruxiugo has given the answer.

Even if there was no mistake by Cao Bin, Yelu Xiuge cowered in Youzhou City, and the Song army made a feint in Zhuozhou. Yelu Hugh didn't need to ask, he sat and watched Song Jun's performance. If it's a real attack. Leaning on the city to hold on, Han Derang was able to hold it for many days. And Jeruxiugo. Then also in exchange for time, let the Liao army first defeat or repel the Song army behind the mountain, which had few troops, and calmly return, and join the two armies of the later reinforcements, and defeat the Song Dynasty East Route Army.

Unless Yelu Hugo is a fool and takes the initiative to go out of the city for a general battle, and then the three armies collapse, and Youzhou is in danger, there is only one result. It was never possible for the army of the Central and Western Routes to reach the city of Youzhou in order to achieve the meeting of the three armies imagined by Zhao Kuangyi.

But Song Jiu is just saying it now, what's the use? Is Zhao Kuangyi willing to quit the army?

But it still has to be said. But get ready for the back road first.

The reason why Song Jiu agrees with Zhao Kuangyi's holy decree is very simple, the two armies will be stronger, and it will not be easy to defeat, even if it is defeated, it will not be easy to defeat. The new city is close to the border, and nearby are the fortresses of Rongcheng and Mancheng, which were under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. In case the situation is not good. Able to retreat to the Song realm in time. If the Liao army pursues, first of all, some fortresses have been added to the border because of their own proposals, and they will play some role in diverting them. Secondly, at their own suggestion. Sixty or seventy percent of the border people migrated to the rear, mostly in the fields, and the grain and grass were in the walled forts. The Liao army could not obtain grain and grass by plundering, and came to the rescue in a hurry. There is not much grain and grass to bring, and it will play some role. And also. The right time, place and people.

Then it will be a defeat, and the casualties will not be very large.

But no one listened.

There is no way, this line of elite is exhausted, the stars are like clouds, and the dazzling eyes are dazzling, but just like the football team Real Madrid in later generations, the eldest masters don't listen to the second master's call, and Zhao Kuangyi's holy decree doesn't listen, and it's himself.

Coupled with Cao Bin's hesitation, the few voices with the same opinion as himself were quickly drowned out in the quarrel.

Song Jiu said again: "Look at everyone's demeanor in the morning, there are different opinions, each has its own opinion, just like a ball of scattered sand, in this case, how can it be the opponent of Yelu Xiuge, the first brave general of the Liao State?" ”

"Jiurou, what can I do about this?"

"Defeat must be defeat, it depends on how you lose, not afraid of small defeat, afraid of big defeat. In the event of a great defeat, the casualties are not in the battle, but in the collapse and flight, if the ability is superb, just like Yelu Xuan, maybe he can also rectify the military discipline in time, avoid excessive casualties, and return safely. If you don't have the ability, you may even be wiped out with your subordinates. ”

In actual history, when the Song army collapsed, Li Jilong, as the forward (forward army), brought more than 10,000 of his subordinates back to the Song Dynasty safely under that circumstances. This really entered Zhao Kuangyi's field of vision, and then gradually moved towards the road of famous generals.

Of course, this Song Jiu didn't know the way, but he knew the way, and he changed to Yang Ye to move forward.

Fu Zhaoshou's face showed a bitter expression.

I'm just here to eat, so what kind of superb military ability do I have?

"Erlang, you don't have to worry. If I say it, there will be a way. From now on, the army with lax military discipline will be defeated more and more miserably when it collapses, even if it is Li Guang. On the contrary, the stricter the military discipline, the less scattered it will be when it collapses, but will be taken advantage of by the enemy. ”

"I ......"

"I know that you don't understand, but you and Zhicheng have an advantage, that is, your official position and my official position, I am the prison army, and I have the right to let Yan Zhao transfer to your subordinates, and let him cooperate with you to rectify military discipline. I also promise to give 200,000 pieces of cotton cloth, as well as 100,000 pieces of money and 100,000 horses of silk, and you can use your power to reward your subordinates, first, to stimulate them to abide by military discipline and strengthen training, and second, to use this to make everyone hold together. If it really comes to the bad point that I guessed, listen to my mobilization and listen to my command urgently. ”

"This is also a way, I will also take out 200,000 pieces of cotton cloth, 100,000 pieces of money, and 100,000 horses of silk." Fu Zhaoshou said.

The gold shop also paid dividends, plus two other industries, and there was a huge profit every year.

I'm afraid of death, money is good, can I buy my life?

Liu Zhixin also expressed his stance and took out some of the money.

In this way, the three families are almost ready to scrape together nearly a million dollars, if they buy the entire East Road army, it is still too little, but there are only three subordinates, 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, once it is divided, each person will get a very considerable income, then the morale will rise, and they will listen to the transfer.

But Song Jiu couldn't come forward in this matter, only Fu Zhaoshou.

He doesn't think much about it anyway, he has a lot of money in his hand, and he is Zhao Kuangyi's brother-in-law, no matter how he tosses, as long as he doesn't make serious mistakes, at most the big guys will laugh at him, but no one will ask.

Of course, I don't have this money in my hand, but I can make an IOU. Could it be that Fu Zhaoshou will be less money?

When the army returned to the capital. It's time to cash out.

After talking for a while, each mind dispersed.

Coming to the crusade. I thought about victory, but now I am preparing for defeat. Everyone's mood can be imagined.

Song Jiu found another person, his former enemy, Shi Qi.

This man can be considered a brave general.

In fact, most of the traitors are capable people, and traitorous generals are also capable generals, such as Wang Yu and Liu Wenyu, if they have no talent, can they be trusted by Zhao Kuangyi? If Shi Hanqing and Shi Qi can't fight, can they win Zhao Kuangyin's trust?

This person was relegated to Gwangju during the Kaibao period, and Gwangju was famine. Without waiting for the report, he sold goods and grain at a reduced price, and countless lives were lost. Later, the canal of 90 miles long from Weishi to the capital of the Huimin River was dredged, which was completed in dozens of days, and the people thought it was convenient.

Because of this person's bad character, many scholars said that he liked to use small favors to buy people's hearts.

The words are divided into two, this person's ethics are not very good, that is, Song Jiu is also not at ease now, even if he is ready to win him over. I'm not going to tell much truth.

But these achievements do prove that he has some ability.

Right is right, wrong is wrong, and you can't veto all the right side just because you have done something wrong.

The reason why I was looking for Shi Qi. Because of this trip Shi Qi is escort team deployment, there are thousands of men, followed by the morning meeting. Although there are some people who agree with Zhao Kuangyi's holy decree, they are not very resolute. Including Cao Bin, only Shi Qi and Song Jiu tried their best to support Zhao Kuangyi's holy decree.

"General Shi."

Shi Qi was a little embarrassed. At that time, although he did not go too far like Shi Hanqing, he was also secretly casting some small black hands on Song Jiu, at this time and at that time, the status difference between the two is too big now, if Song Jiu wants to take revenge, Shi Jiu's future will be very bad.

"Don't take the past to heart, general, you can read the story of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po? Only when there will be harmony can the country prosper. ”

"Duke Song, my subordinates are ashamed."

"No, you have one in your sixty this year, and you still go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country, what is there to be ashamed of? But I have some bad premonitions. Implicitly said that he was worried, but this person, Song Jiu would definitely not dig out his heart.

"Ah, Song Gong is right." Ignoring and reasoning, Song Jiu took the initiative to get close to him, and it was too late to rejoice.

"So take precautions, if you encounter an unforeseeable, I hope that General Shi will lead his subordinates to approach me."

Shi Qi is very smart, this is Song Jiu just in case, I don't know how many people he has wooed, but there must be Yang Ye, just Yang Ye as a forward, there are more than 10,000 soldiers under the account, and there are brave generals like Li Jixuan.

So the forehead.

Song Jiu returned to the tent and began to write the recital.

I can't think of a reason and don't say it, but if I think of it, there is no need to flatter Zhao Kuangyi too much.

directly said his thoughts together in the recital, but when he said that Zhao Kuangyi's strategy was wrong, his tone was very tactful.

was wrong at the beginning, Cao Bin's mistake pushed the entire Northern Expedition to the abyss, and the generals fought for merit to produce differences, it was not the abyss, it was preparing to send the Song army from the abyss into the eighteenth layer of hell, and there would be no return!

Therefore, Song Jiu proposed two strategies.

The best strategy is the thirty-six plan, and the best plan is the best plan. Immediately withdraw the troops and send heavy troops to the border to defend themselves to prevent the Liao State from retaliating.

This battle cost a lot of money and money, but the Liao State was even more uncomfortable.

In several battles, more than 20,000 Liao troops were killed or captured. Most of Yanyun is disabled, I believe that in order to recruit and transfer the army from the rear, the Liao State will spend a lot of money, and the various departments will be disbanded in the future, will they not be rewarded at all? I have to ask for money again.

After several major defeats, the prestige of the Liao State was declining, and the various ministries were centrifuged, and the Song Dynasty would have a lot of room for maneuver in the future, instigating them to rebel.

Maybe because of Yelu Xiuge's correct approach, he cowered in Youzhou City, or he could send scouts to spread rumors, saying that Yelu Xiuge was the only official position of Yu Yue in Liao, and he was timid and afraid of things, and he didn't dare to fight, causing the entire Yanyun to be in ruins, maybe Xiao Yanyan was angry and punished Yelu Xiuge, so that Liao could destroy the Great Wall.

Also, that is, when the Liao army did not arrive, you could wantonly plunder the people and go back, but this Song Jiu did not write, there are advantages and disadvantages, if the captivity is good, it will work, and if the Liao reinforcements are not captured well, it may drag down the time.

It is not necessary to take Yanyun, in fact, if a northern expedition like this is carried out three or four times, it will drag the Liao State into the water, and it may directly lead to the disintegration of the Liao State, so there is no need to fight, and the sixteen states of Yanyun will also return to the embrace of the Song Dynasty.

The next step is to occupy.

It's not to occupy Youzhou, it's too late, and Cao Bin doesn't have the talent to capture Youzhou.

Instead, he immediately sent several envoys to forcibly transfer the two armies on the east road, one part to the border defense, and the other to the Flying Fox Pass, from which the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to Ulzhou, all the way to Yunzhou, to concentrate superior forces to fight with the Liao State, and after killing the Liao army, the fort was repaired, and even the ancient Great Wall could be renovated, and the Flying Fox Pass and Yunshuo Huan should be occupied by the five states of Wei. After two or three years of governance, the people were submissive, the border defense was consolidated, and then the other states were slowly mapped.

It is good to open up the territory and expand the territory, but Song Jiu is worried that it will be too late, maybe when this performance reaches the capital, maybe the Liao army reinforcements will go straight to Ulzhou, and secondly, the two army divisions on the east road will be old and useless, and the soldiers will be depressed, and then they will go to the back of the mountain, and the soldiers will be tired, and they may not only not be able to defeat the Liao army, but will be defeated. Therefore, Song Jiu said that it was the next policy, and it was best not to take it.

As for other methods, whether it is waiting for food to go to Zhuozhou, or meeting with Mi Xin and continuing to implement the previous strategy, it is not advisable, and the strategy is not a strategy, but waiting for death. (To be continued......)
