Zhao Kuangyin stood with his hands in his hands and gave a soft "um", but he never turned his head.

Liu Zifang whispered: "The final general has already followed His Majesty's instructions to transport the horses to Shunchang City, and then returned empty, and now all members are back on standby."

Zhao Kuangyin stood quietly for a while, but turned his head to look at Liu Zifang, and smiled faintly: "Zifang, do you think that I commanded the battle this time, first did not hesitate to take risks, and put out a desire to be a Jurchen. The appearance of Jian, when things come, it seems to be a little timid, and the Jurchen who is ready to introduce the soldiers and soldiers into the Jedi is lightly let go. It is really anticlimactic, and there is no way?"

Liu Zifang was slightly taken aback, raised his head, looked at Zhao Kuangyin's brilliant eyes, and replied in a deep voice: "The final general dare not deceive the emperor, the final general has indeed had some thoughts in his heart."

Since the founding of the great patriarch of the Song Dynasty, he always paid attention to'controlling from it.' The general was out on the expedition, but he still needed to fight according to the formation plan given by the emperor's official family. The bullshit is unreasonable, and the generals are just dignified. Therefore, if it is replaced by Liu Zifang before this expedition, even if it is the generation of Yue Fei and Liu Qi, he will never dared to criticize the military arrangement of the emperor's official family.

It’s just that in these days, Zhao Kuangyin was born and died with them, and went through tribulations together. They have long been adored by these soldiers. In the hearts of Liu Zifang and other generals, the image of Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor official, is no longer as high as it used to be, but It also made them fearful and contemptuous, but became a flesh and blood officer, comrade-in-arms, and brother. That's why Liu Zi dared to express his views so freely and speak bluntly.

"Oh", Zhao Kuangyin saw Liu Zifang's reaction in his eyes, satisfied with his heart, and smiled heartily: "Let's talk and listen."

Liu Zifang said: "Your Majesty’s use of troops is an exhaustive strategy. From the beginning to the end, every movement of the hundreds of thousands of Jurchens is controlled by His Majesty. With a crowd of tens of thousands, this situation has been created today. The general once thought that his majesty's art of war was far superior to any general that the general knew."

"Once?" Zhao Kuangyin laughed blankly: "It seems that I don't think it is anymore?"

"The final will be over." Liu Zifang looked at the smile at the corner of Zhao Kuangyin's mouth, but he also relaxed, and said with a smile: "Because the final is really incomprehensible."

He frowned, and said: "This time your Majesty talked about using soldiers, and he was able to lead the Jurchen army into the trap step by step, and to come to this situation, it is his majesty's strategizing work, but to a large extent, it is also because of Jurchen. Commander Jin Wushu, I don’t know that your Majesty is no longer what it used to be...that way..."

He almost spit out the words "Mediocre, cowardly, weak," and quickly bit on it. He looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and coughed twice. Then he went on to say: "However, even though your Majesty has not been in the Jurchen He reveals his identity in front of him, but after this battle, your Majesty is now wise and mighty, but he is bound to hide the truth from the Jurchen. This opportunity is really irresistible. If the Jurchen in the next day will attack me again, It is bound to work step by step. If you want to hold them by the nose like this again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it."

Under the shallow moonlight, Zhao Kuangyin was noncommittal and said softly, "Go on!"

Liu Zifang raised his eyes and looked directly at Zhao Kuangyin: "The final admiral thought that at the moment our forces are weak, it is difficult to eat the Jurchen army in front of us, but now in the old town of Yueshuai, there is still one stationed in Anping, one near Huai. Tens of thousands of troops led by Yang, Shuai Wu and Shuai Liu are now stationed in Tiancheng and Yanzhou. Your Majesty is in the army at this time. If you take precautions early, you only need to give an order to mobilize the army from Zuojin. , Within a few days, it is enough to gather a hundred thousand people."

"Hundred thousand?" Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly and said: "The art of war says:'Ten encircles it.' There are hundreds of thousands of Jurchen trapped now. With these hundred thousand sergeants, you can really fight Did the hundreds of thousands of Jurchen army at the foot of the mountain be wiped out?"

Liu Zifang slowly shook his head, and said: "More than one hundred thousand, your Majesty also missed a wave."

Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly: "Oh?"

Liu Zifang said: "Here is at the forefront, entering nine counties, four prefectures and more than seventy counties on the left. There are officers and soldiers on defense. If there is an imperial decree from your majesty, order them to temporarily withdraw their defenses and come here at all, your majesty..."

He had conceived this plan for more than a day, but he suffered from no chance to show it together. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin's breath was slightly loosened, and he couldn't help but become excited. For a while, he couldn't help but speak quickly: "Your Majesty, Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, he has been repeatedly bullied by foreign soldiers. This time, your Majesty’s sacred wars and martial arts are just a coincidence. This is a coincidence to create such a situation. The deployment of all the armed forces in the neighborhood will certainly make the frontline pass open. However, the main force of the Jurchen Army is here now. Even if the army is gathered, they still can’t stop them all. Those who slip through the net are bound to be frightened birds. All I think is how to escape back. There is no doubt that they will take the opportunity to invade the mainland, so although this move may seem like a dangerous move, the risks that need to be taken are really insignificant compared to what they can obtain when they succeed. Your Majesty, the Jurchen Tiger Wolf Adults, cavalry masters, come and go like wind. If they can’t take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to wipe out all in one fell swoop, in the future, even if they don’t dare to think of prancing the Central Plains anymore, they will always be harassed by the side, but after all, they will still be a big trouble in my heart. Ah, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Kuangyin was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and asked, "Zifang, in your opinion, what is the most important thing about marching?"

Liu Zifang was taken aback for a moment. He was making a generous statement. He has been preparing for this arrangement for a long time. It is definitely not a whim. The current situation is imminent. If Zhao Kuangyin accepts his statement, he should immediately It was the beginning of the arrangement, so that Zhao Kuangyin turned the topic gently away like this, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but also a little disappointed.

It's just that he is a person of exquisite mind, but he also knows that Zhao Kuangyin will not aimlessly when he asks at this time, he will ponder a little, and Fang himself replied: "All warriors, with the right combination, with the odd victory, the final will think... "

"No," Zhao Kuangyin didn't wait for him to speak, he shook his head and said, "Although you have led one army, you have never controlled the whole army and fought independently, so you don't understand."

"Although the difference between generals is only a word, the things that need to be worried about are very different."
