[Southern Song Dynasty] Splendid mountains and rivers

When the Jin soldiers went south, they were divided into three groups.

The East Road is the cavalry under the command of the Fourth Prince Wanyan Zongbi, known as the most powerful Iron Buddha in the Kingdom of Jin, and it is still arrogantly entrenched on the East China Plain, dragging luggage and Song prisoners slowly northward.

In the middle are the infantry and cavalry under the command of the second prince Wanyan Zongwang.But now, this golden army has basically been devoured, and even the coach has died prematurely.Moreover, due to the strict rule of the Western Army, the King of Jin went to Beijing only to know about the news of the rebellion of Chief Wan and the death of the prince, but he did not know anything about the Song Army's occupation of the Jin Camp and the release of the Song prisoners.

West Road is the people under the command of Wanyan Zonghan, the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom.In fact, everyone, including Zhao Yuan, knew almost nothing about this golden soldier—because it had neither great merit nor great demerit.Right now, Song Jun can only harass this West Route Army at best.

Zhao Yuan's so-called "reflux" was to rebel against Zong Bi's Eastern Route Army, the strongest Tie Futu in the Jin Kingdom.

Do you still remember those prisoners of the Kingdom of Jin whose legs were broken by Zhao Yuan?

They, together with Zong Bi, who was irritable and irritable recently, were all pulled into the second move by Zhao Yuan.

In the first move, from the Tianzi Jiaozhao to the Jinying night terror to the sudden death of Zongwang and finally to the capture of Zongbi by fraud, Zhao Yuan moved very beautifully.

Therefore, she also hopes that her second move can be as beautiful as before.

When Zhao Yuan just said the word "return", Zhao Gou frowned obviously.Soon, he put his hand lightly on Zhao Yuan's shoulder, and glanced at Zong Ze consciously or unconsciously: "Let's go back and talk."

Zhao Yuan frowned imperceptibly, lowered his shoulders calmly, and slid Zhao Gou's hand down.

Zhao Gou, are you playing the family card?

She had a vague feeling that Zhao Gou wanted her to choose between herself and Zhao Huan.

But, after all, she is just an emperor, isn't she?

Zhao Yuan vaguely felt that his throat was a little dry, and there was a shivering chill in his back.

"Huanhuan." Zhao Gou took two steps forward and turned around again. Zhao Yuan, who was facing him, said in the same gentle tone as before, "There are many people here, let's enter the camp of the Chinese army."

Zhao Yuan's pupils shrank slightly.

Zhongjunzhang...is a code name, representing the highest military general meeting in the Song Dynasty at this time.

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

"Huanhuan is a smart woman." Zhao Gou swept away the gloom before, and smiled like a spring breeze, "I think Huanhuan also knows that the lonely king is the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses."

"Dian—" Zong Ze hurriedly said.

Zhao Gou reached out his hand to stop Zong Ze, still smiling, but his eyes gradually became darker: "Let's go together."

Zhao Yuan lowered his head, his long eyelashes covered his gaze: "Yes, brother nine."

Only three or five people were eligible to participate in the highest-level military conference in the Song Dynasty, and one of them, Zhao Gou, who was specially used as a background board, was excluded because he often couldn't understand.However, even though he couldn't understand, Zhao Gou still listened with great interest, looking like a corporal.

Zhao Yuan became more and more determined.

If this kind of posture is done by a prince, it is plotting against the law; if it is done by an emperor, it is like admonishment.

Although Zhao Gou's thoughts were clearly revealed, she didn't intend to do anything about it, or express anything.As long as she can return to the singing and dancing of Renzong's time, and the emperor's hegemony of Tang Taizong's time, who sits in that position, and what does it have to do with her?

During the short period of time when Zhao Yuan was wandering in the void, Zong Ze had already explained the current situation to the generals.At this moment, a small half of the people sitting around the table were generals leading troops, such as Zong Ze; the other half were chief envoys and deputy envoys of the Privy Council, a group of civilian officials who were stuck in the lifeline of the army, but had never been on the battlefield.

——This is a spectacle unique to the Song Dynasty. Civil officials rule over generals, habitually delaying military aircraft, and habitually dying for the country.

Zhao Yuan listened for a while, and found that everyone's topic had shifted to how to dispatch troops.The military commander really deserves to be a military general, but after a few clicks, the strategy for dispatching troops was finalized.What Zongze said earlier was right. Shuozhou had a favorable location and a harmonious balance of people; but Zhuozhou was obviously a fat piece of meat, which was shining brightly and attractively; no matter which route the troops were sent from, it could be called a surprise attack.

"Everyone..."

Zhao Yuan had just started, and everyone's eyes were focused on her.Zhao Gou was sitting sideways by the table, propping his head on his hands, looking at her with a half-smile, but there was a trace of gloom in his eyes intentionally or unintentionally.At this time, Li Gang, who had turned from the deputy envoy of the Privy Council to the chief envoy, stood up slowly, frowning, his long snow-white beard trembling: "You are..."

"It's just the ears of a woman in the army." Some bastard civil servant started shaking his head and shaking his book bag.

Zhao Yuan chuckled lightly: "Your Excellency is so preconceived, but it is a taboo for the leader."

The man turned pale and begged Zhao Gou for mercy.Although most of the people sitting here are civil servants, they are civil servants capable of leading generals.If you are labeled as a "taboo for leading the army", you will be fined for a light salary or lose your official position. This is no joke.

Zhao Gou slightly raised his eyelids, he didn't pay attention to that person at all, instead he turned his head and said to Zhao Yuan gently: "Continue."

Zhao Yuan expressed his thanks and spoke eloquently.

"You are all seasoned generals, don't you know the truth that soldiers are precious and fast? Although sending troops from Shuozhou is indeed a good move; but if you want to fight all the way from Shuozhou to Yanzhou... ..."

"Little girl is talking nonsense again." The annoying civil servant was still speaking, "Who said we are going to fight Yanzhou?"

Even though Zhao Yuan was extremely patient, he couldn't help but feel his eyelids twitch twice at this moment, and suddenly wanted to grab that guy by the collar and throw him out.But that guy is wearing a scarlet robe, and his official rank is probably not low, so he definitely can't lose it.

She looked around, and sure enough, the military officers were looking at him like a fool.

Yanzhou is firmly stuck in Shanhaiguan and Gubeikou, which is the most dangerous pass in the North Gate, easy to defend but difficult to attack.If Shi Jingtang hadn't ceded it to Khitan, how could the Jin people go south so easily?If you really want to give Jin Ren a head-on blow, a surprise attack on Yanzhou is the best choice.

But there is a terrible thing about Yanzhou, that is, it does not border the land of the Song Dynasty.The fastest way to enter Yanzhou is to send troops to Zhuozhou.

"Now the Jin people are coming out in full force, and they are going south in three groups. It is the time when the rear is empty. At this time, a surprise attack can achieve twice the result with half the effort. This is one of them; the second is that the terrain of Yanzhou is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack..."

Zhao Yuan used the most patience and the most simple language to teach that guy who is not as good as talking on paper a temporary lesson.

Immediately, she changed the subject and continued:

"If you send troops from Shuozhou, the route will be too long. No one can be sure whether you will still have the strength to attack Yanzhou after traveling thousands of miles. So I am thinking, can we feign a frontal attack from Zhuozhou and win ten thousand for the surprise attack on Shuozhou? In half a month..."

The eyes of all the generals brightened up.

Zongze said indifferently: "Shuozhou should be attacked by the Western Army. But Zhuozhou...who can take on the task of 'feint attack'?"

The generals fell into silence collectively.

There are only three army systems in the entire Song Dynasty: the Western Army established to resist Xixia, the Jingying to defend Gyeonggi, and various local regiments and Xiang armies.But in fact, everyone in the Xiang army is so weak that they can only barely be used as civilian servants; the Beijing camp is basically full of recruits who have never seen blood, they are very tender and expensive.The Western Army stationed at the border all the year round...

The Western Army can fight, but the troops are divided into two groups, is it appropriate?

Zhao Yuan coughed lightly: "You might as well let the people from Beijing camp go."

"Jingying?—You——"

"Listen to what I have to say." Zhao Yuan said with a good temper, "Generally speaking, what is the purpose of 'feint attack'?"

What is the feint for?

No one answered, so Zhao Yuan continued to ask and answer: "One is to delay some time, and the other is to 'show weakness'."

If you use the strongest army to "feint attack", wouldn't that just let the opponent find out the details and die completely!

"There is one last item, which is 'self-protection'."

Since it is a feint attack, of course, the more tragic the better, the more soldiers, the better.Veterans like the Western Army who fought desperately and had a dull personality like an endless night would suffer the most casualties if they feigned an attack.

Besides, hasn't Jingying never been to the battlefield?Just take advantage of this opportunity to let them see the blood.

And the most important point, Zhao Yuan did not disclose.

The future famous general Yue Fei will come under Zong Ze's command.But Han Shizhong is a bloody man from the Western Army.

If Yue Fei and Han Shizhong can stand out in this war of one light and one dark, one feint and one surprise attack...

She raised her head and looked around slowly: "What do you all think?"

The general has nothing to say.

The civil servants had nothing to say.

As for Zhao Gou... this purely nominal commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses is still calmly facing his background board.

Zong Ze cast his gaze on Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou cast his gaze on Zhong Yi.For a while, everyone looked at the only general from the Western Army with complicated eyes.

Zhong Yi stood up and gave a solemn military salute: "Xi Jun, I swear that I will not disgrace my life."

"... Huanhuan."

Zhao Gou changed his posture, sat up straight, and looked at Zhao Yuan with a smile.

"How about you go to Zhuozhou?"

----------------

The sky was dark and scary.

Zhao Yuan finally forced himself to learn how to ride a horse, and he was mixed in with the restless disciples of the Beijing camp and galloped all the way to the north.When he arrived at a ferry, he immediately abandoned his horse and took a boat to Zhuozhou.

She did not reject Zhao Gou's proposal, and was surprised to see Zhong Yi's eyes gradually dimming.

Before leaving, Zhong Yi specially taught her how to ride a horse, and solemnly said to her word by word, stay in Yanzhou well, and wait for me to pick you up.

Zhao Yuan really wanted to say, young man, you think too much, but I'm actually not afraid at all.But the situation at that time was too solemn, and Zhong Yi's expression was too serious, she didn't even have time to speak out.

It was already half a month later when the recruits from the Beijing camp arrived late, and they made plans with Zhao Yuan to go north again.

Surprisingly, Zhao Yuan ordered everyone to bring the gold prisoners with broken legs and the coffin of the second prince Zongwang.

She felt more and more like a hateful demon king.

Stretching out its long claws in the night, showing its dark teeth, it grinned grinningly and walked towards the darker night.

until dawn.

"...Di Ji."

Zhang Bangchang, who appeared out of nowhere, looked at her worriedly.

This guy had been missing for a long time, but somehow, Zhao Gou picked him up again, packed his bags and stuffed them with Zhao Yuan all the way north.

"Are we really going to deal with Zong Bi's Jin Kingdom East Route Army?"
