"I don't know how sure you are that the prince can hold Luoyang City?" Elder Ximen looked at Wan Yan Honglie with a worried look, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

Wanyan Honglie stroked his forehead with his hand, rubbed his brows vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "Luoyang is a majestic city in the world, the city is more than seven or eight feet high, it stands to reason that even if the Song army really has an army of 200,000, it will not be able to break through Luoyang City, which is guarded by an army of 80,000, and it will not be possible to consume all the 200,000 troops!"

"What's more, the Song army only has 100,000, not to mention that Luoyang City still has our famous generals and servants sitting in the town, and the chance of the Song army being able to break the city is even smaller. However, the record of the Song army is too amazing, since the Yue family army back then, I Dajin, I have never encountered such a strong Song army. Such a strong Song army really worries the king. Even the saints, I'm afraid their hearts are not very stable!"

"That being the case. Elder Ximen took out a bamboo tube from his arms, handed it to Wanyan Honglie, and said, "This letter from Tiezhang Peak will be handed over to the prince." ”

"Iron Palm Peak?" Yan Honglie was immediately moved, although the Iron Palm Gang was doing their best to help him, but the mysterious Qiu Gang Master had always been sitting in the Iron Palm Peak and had never met him. Over the years, only when he was in big trouble, he would send a letter from Iron Palm Peak. And every time, as long as you do what you say in the letter, you can always save the day. Therefore, when Wanyan Honglie heard that it was a letter from Tiezhang Peak, he was immediately surprised and delighted.

"Why did Gang Master Qiu teach me?" After Yan Honglie finished the bamboo tube, he took out a piece of letter paper from it, and did not rush to open it, but asked first.

"My helper said that the war in Luoyang is critical at the moment. If the prince is very sure about this battle, then there is no need to hand over this letter to the prince in the future, if the prince is worried about the war. Then this letter must be given to the prince, so that the prince can prepare in advance. Elder Simon said.

"Have a preparation in advance? What does this mean?" The joy on Yan Honglie's face suddenly faded, and his brows furrowed.

"I don't know this, maybe the prince will know it after reading the letter. Elder Simon said.

Wan Yan Honglie's brows furrowed even more. Squinted his eyes, opened the fire paint on the envelope, and after reading it, his face gradually became gloomy.

"Borrowing troops from Mongolia? Could it be that the Qiu gang leader also thinks that I am a big gold, and I am already bound to lose?" Wanyan Honglie clenched his fists and said gloomily: "Borrowing troops from Mongolia, with the brave combat power of Temujin's subordinates, may be able to solve the urgent need, but this hidden danger." It's not small. If Song Jun is a wolf, then Temujin is a tiger! The front door rejects the wolf, and the back door enters the tiger, this is drinking water to quench thirst!"

Elder Simon said: "My helper said that there is no need to hand over this letter to the prince unless it is a last resort, I think it is because of this concern." ”

Wanyan Honglie was stunned for a moment, and then said a little bitterly: "Could it be." Is it time for last resort?"

Yue Wudi stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the majestic Luoyang City at his feet. The city is high and the pool is deep, and he turned his head to Xin Qiji and said: "Luoyang City is worthy of being the city's heroic city, we are from the south, it is easier than from the north, I didn't expect it, it is still so difficult." ”

Xin Qiji also sighed. Said: "Indeed, Luoyang has the danger of mountains and rivers, it is the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now there are famous generals like Fusan. I'm afraid it won't be easy to capture this majestic city!"

Han Yanxuan also stared deeply at Luoyang City opposite, tall and majestic like the capital city of heaven, giving people an incomparable sense of oppression, and it took a long time before he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If you want to conquer such a heroic city, I don't know how many lives you have to take to fill it, but fortunately, Yue Shaoxia had the foresight and did not kill those captives." The 20,000 captives were used to attack the city, which also caused a certain amount of consumption to Luoyang City. ”

Yue Wudi shook his head and said, "It's not all good, the servant is worthy of being a famous general." Originally, we took the prisoners of the Jurchen nobles to show the public, which had a certain impact on the morale of the defenders of Luoyang. However, the servant Sanhua made a fuss about us driving 20,000 ordinary Jurchen captives to attack the city, which aroused the righteous indignation of the defenders in the city, and the morale of the defenders in the city rose somewhat. ”

Xin Qi said: "In any case, as long as we can reduce the losses of our army and drive these captives to attack the city, it will not be wrong. ”

Han Yanxuan smiled and said: "If you don't know that Mr. Jiaxuan is a famous Confucian all over the world, the old man really thinks that you are reincarnated in vain." ”

Xin Qiji said: "These Jin people slaughtered and abused my Han people, they don't know how many, they are deeply sinful, and the national hatred is in front of them, how can the old man tell them any way of forgiveness." It is already considered merciful not to destroy its country, to destroy its species, and to destroy its temple. ”

Han Yanxuan laughed and said, "Exactly! Exactly!"

Yue Wudi said: "I want to destroy his country and destroy his species, but at the moment, Luoyang Xiongcheng still needs us to think of a breakthrough as soon as possible, otherwise everything is empty talk." Yue Wudi remembered that in later generations, he shaved his hair and was easy to obey, and he closed himself to the country for three hundred years, and he felt that the Jurchen race was no less evil to the Han people than the Mongols.

"Since ancient times, we Han people are the most proficient in the means of attacking and defending cities. We have no shortage of ladder troop carriers, catapults and bed crossbows, and the moat to the south has been filled with the corpses of the Jurchen captives. The situation is much better than it was when we first arrived two days ago. If we don't attack now, when the reinforcements from the Jin Kingdom go around our backs, the situation will be unfavorable to us. Han Yan twisted his beard and said worriedly.

Yue Wudi said: "The siege of the city is naturally to be attacked, but we have to discuss the best way to minimize our losses." Otherwise, if the losses are too great, even if we capture Luoyang City, we will not have the strength to continue to advance north, and we will not be able to pose a threat to the central capital and force them to sue for peace. ”

Xin Qiji and Han Yanxuan both nodded in unison, and then they both frowned, they were both people who were familiar with the art of war, but in such a situation, they couldn't come up with any tricks to break Luoyang without much loss.

Looking into the distance, Han Yanxuan suddenly found that near Luoyang, it was the big river that flowed through it, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, but the joy on his face had just emerged, and it suddenly faded, and his face became hesitant.

Yue Wudi asked, "Han Xiang has any ideas, you might as well say it and listen to it." ”

Han Yanxuan hesitated for a moment before saying: "The plan is a good plan, this Luoyang City has been broken by this method in ancient times." It's just a little too cruel. ”

At this time, Xin Qiji also understood, and said resolutely with a face: "No." This method is harmful to the heavens and peace, and it is not only the Jurchens in Luoyang City, but also hundreds of thousands of our Han people, such a method must not be used. ”

"Does Han Xiang want to break the embankment of the Yellow River and flood Luoyang City?" Yue Wudi frowned and said: "Sure enough, it's a good plan, as soon as the flood comes, we won't even need to spend a single soldier to break Luoyang." ”

Xin Qiji was displeased and said: "Yue Xian's nephew also wants to use such a method, if Yue Wang Ye is reborn, I don't think he will agree to it!"

Han Yanxuan said: "If Luoyang is not flooded, does Mr. Jiaxuan have any other good way? Could it be that if we use the lives of our soldiers to fill it, the danger of Luoyang, it is difficult for birds to cross, and if we attack it, I am afraid that even if we capture Luoyang City, our 100,000 army will lose at least half!"

Xin Qiji was speechless for a long time before he said: "If the sacrifice of 50,000 soldiers can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of Han people, the old man feels that the sacrifice of these soldiers is valuable!"

The two of them insisted on their own words, and neither could convince anyone.

Han Yanxuan then looked at Yue Wudi, on the surface, the 100,000 army was commanded by himself, and Xin Qiji was the supervising army, but in fact, Yue Wudi was the real controller of this army. Han Yanxuan knew that his sect leader was by no means indecisive, and the kindness of a woman would definitely not disappoint him.

Xin Qiji also turned his head to look at Yue Wudi, and he also understood that as long as Yue Wudi agreed to this strategy, then Han Yanxuan would not hesitate to implement it.

"Nephew Yue Xian, although the great cause of the Northern Expedition is important, it can't ignore the lives of Han people. The original intention of our Northern Expedition was to save the remnants, and we must not put the cart before the horse!" Xin Qiji's voice was fierce, lest Yue Wudi really made that cold-blooded and ruthless decision.

The two stared at Yue Wudi intently, waiting for him to make a decision, but they never expected that Yue Wudi was stunned at this time.

"Yue Shaoxia?" "Yue Xian's nephew?" The cries of Han Yanxuan and Xin Qiji woke Yue Wudi from his contemplation.

"Han Xiang, what did you just say?" After Yue Wudi came back to his senses, he didn't pay attention to the dispute between the two, but suddenly asked like this, which made Han Yanxuan and Xin Qiji a little confused.

Han Yanxuan said: "Yue Shaoxia, it was Han who was just calling you just now." ”

"It's not...... What about the last sentence?" Yue Wudi then asked.

Han Yanxuan thought for a while, and then said: "It's the danger of Luoyang, it's difficult for birds to cross, if you don't use this method, I'm afraid that the army will suffer heavy losses." ”

"That's it!" Yue Wudi suddenly said in surprise, "You don't have to fight, we don't have to flood Luoyang City, we can also break Luoyang in one day!"

"What?" Han Yanxuan and Xin Qiji were both extremely calm and spicy people, but they were shocked and cried out at this time.

"Don't be surprised, I've come up with a plan, but I don't know if it's going to work. Yue Wudi said, stretching out his hand to stay in the air for a while, as if feeling the direction of the air current, "The wind is blowing from this mountain to Luoyang City, since this is the case, I am eighty percent sure!"

Han Yanxuan and Xin Qiji glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes, they both knew that although Yue Wudi was young, he had always been calm and measured, and he would never be untargeted, since he said that he was eighty percent sure, I am afraid that he was at least ninety percent sure!

"What kind of strategy is it?" Xin Qiji asked, and Han Yanxuan also had a look of anticipation. (To be continued......)
