In 1141 A.D., Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, was persecuted by the traitorous party in Dali Temple, Fengbo Pavilion, and since then the Jin State has become more arrogant. The Southern Song Dynasty was now in a state of flux, and it was in danger to win the weak, so the main peace faction in the court gained momentum, and was eager to humiliate and sue for peace with Jin, and signed the "Shaoxing Peace Conference", agreeing that the boundary between Song and Jin was bounded by Huaishui in the east and Shaanxi Dasanguan in the west. For decades, the Jin State became more and more rampant, burning and killing and plundering unscrupulously on the border of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty court not only did not take strict precautions, but instead levied the people and extorted the so-called "New Year's coin" and gold, causing the Jin State to gain an inch and use the military force, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to invade the south in four ways, and for a time it was like a flood of fierce beasts.

In the main hall of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhao Gou on the dragon chair had a sad face, haggard and godless, and said to the ministers: "Now Manjin has invaded the south on a large scale, and the cities in the northwest and northeast are in danger, and the guards are invincible, and they are defeated and retreated,...... Looking at this formation, the Jin State will soon be able to enter the hinterland and approach Lin'an. Summoning all of you Aiqing to the palace today, I don't know if there is a way to retreat from the enemy?"

The ministers hung their heads and kept silent, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.

Zhao Gohuan glanced at the ministers, sighed, and said to the middle of the civil official ranks on the left: "Why doesn't Qin Aiqing speak?"

On the left side, Qin Hui's brother Qin Chucai flashed. Qin Chucai looked worried, and bowed to Zhao Gou: "Long live, old minister...... The purpose of the alliance between the Song and Jin countries was to ensure the safety of the two countries and stop the war. Previously, the two countries had made a "peace agreement" and many promises, but our dynasty had not paid a penny for three years. In addition, other neighboring countries and tribes want to flourish, and it is inevitable to invade the south in the future...... At present, the famine in our dynasty is serious, and thieves are in turmoil everywhere, and it is difficult to raise the New Year's coins for a while. Well...... The old minister thought that the Suzhou area had been reduced to paralysis, and it was extremely difficult to counterattack and recapture, so he might as well push the boat down the river, abandon the place, and then send the ministers to serve some years of coins to restore peace, so as to ensure that my Great Song Dynasty was safe. If the war can be avoided, it will also show the immensity of the emperor, which is a plan of "seeking justice by bending". ......”

Zhao Gou pondered for a long time, hesitating for a while.

Hearing this, General Liu Qi was angry, glanced at Qin Chucai coldly, and made a cold statement: "Isn't it because the Jin State has strong soldiers and strong horses, and abundant grain and grass? All this is actually provided by our court! They see that we and others are repeatedly cowardly and deceitful, so what will they do if they don't come to invade? Hmph! Almost all the soldiers and horses in the whole country are supported by the Great Song Dynasty, and it is really sad and ridiculous for us to do this! If we don't understand it thoroughly, take this as a lesson, the day of the country's destruction is not far away! I hope to live it twice!"

Zhao Gou looked at him: "Now that I heard General Liu's generous words, I think there must be a strategy to retreat from the enemy, so I might as well talk about it and listen to it." ”

Liu Qi continued: "According to the minister's expectations, the Jin Bing Fourth Route Army intends to attack Huangtiandang, Suzhou, Dengzhou and Xiangyang this time, in an attempt to infiltrate the hinterland in the form of a semi-ring. The other party is determined to win this levy, even if he pays them more coins, it is useless. Now that Suzhou has been occupied by the enemy, wouldn't it be self-deception to say that it is a gift to give away this place? There is a branch of the Second Route Army of the Jin Army, with only 20,000 or 30,000 people, stationed on the bank of the Huaishui not far north of Huoqiu. Please long live the decree that the minister is willing to lead 100,000 troops, raid the department, destroy one of them, and at the same time divide 50,000 horses and horses to intercept the Jin soldiers who may come to the east, and the minister thinks that this battle will be able to win a great victory and severely defeat the enemy's spirit. ”

As soon as the words fell, many people immediately came out to play: "Long live, what General Liu said is extremely true, this opportunity must not be lost!"

Zhao Gou said to Liu Qi: "Now that the border is heavily guarded, how can we transfer 100,000 soldiers and horses? Besides, it is too late to transfer troops here. How many soldiers do you have with you?"

Liu Qi replied: "Back to the saint: there are only 60,000 subordinates. ”

Zhao thought about it and said, "Sixty thousand is a lot. Didn't you say that one of the Jin soldiers was only 20,000 or 30,000? Could it be that all the Jin soldiers were three-headed and six-armed, and could resist more with less? Otherwise, with 100,000 against 20,000, anyone would be able to win a great victory. Although the widow rarely leads the army to fight, but he relies on more and wins less, even if he returns victoriously, it is not a strategy. ”

Liu Qi replied: The minister does not want to rely on the crowd to win the outnumber. At that time, I am afraid that most of the Jin soldiers will suddenly come to the aid of the war, which will be unfavorable to our army, and this is only a precaution.

Zhao Gou said coldly: "If hundreds of thousands of Jin soldiers come to reinforce, you can also win with 100,000? At present, the forbidden army is only 20,000, anyway, you can't draw the forbidden army to fight, you also know in your heart, not to mention that the transfer of troops is not a trivial matter, there is danger of the enemy everywhere, it is not advisable to demolish the east wall to make up the west wall, and it is only known that 60,000 can win 20,000." ”

Liu Qi hesitated: "Long live what you say......"

Zhao Gou waved his hand lazily: Retreat.
