The morning fog under Shuzhou City has not yet cleared.
Not far away, the shouts of the Jurchen and the neighing of war horses had already broken the tranquility of the morning.
Standing at the head of Shuzhou City, Zhao Kuangyin looked at the whole night outside the city, and the seemingly endless Jurchen camps, he couldn't help but also aroused a feeling of passion that he hadn't had in a long time.
The game of chess that I had set finally reached the moment of hand-to-hand combat.
Although all the situation in front of him is moving step by step according to his own ideas, Zhao Kuangyin understands better than anyone that everything is just the beginning.
It is not a weird thing to have his own, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, come to the front line and ask Jin Wushu to abandon the Hongxian Pass on the western line and gather his forces in one place.
The key to my entire plan now lies in how long I can hold Shuzhou City with the 20,000 defenders, and when I can let the 300,000 troops outside the city understand that it is really difficult for them to use their strength alone. Take down the official house of Emperor Song Emperor in the small Shuzhou city in front of him.
This is by no means an easy task.
Calculating the time, the Jurchen army under the city should have arrived at Yinshi last night and built a camp in the starry night, in order to give Shuzhou city a surprise early this morning, in order to get the first effect.
Just relying on their marching thousands of miles and long-distance raids, but especially able to grasp the time so accurately, you can know that the commander of the Jurchen army outside the city is definitely a person who knows soldiers and is good at war.
Since ancient times, the use of soldiers, ten encirclement.
At the moment, the defenders in Shuzhou City have no more than 20,000 soldiers, while the Jurchens outside the city have a total of 300,000.
But the most difficult thing is to achieve his goal, even he himself is not sure how long he needs to guard, and when he needs to guard.
So he could understand the worries in Wang Gui's rising fighting spirit.
The offense and defense of this small Shuzhou city is related to the battle between the great Song and Dajin national destinies.
As long as he has won this game, the Jinren will definitely be unable to buckle the horse for a long time in the future, and he will be able to free his hands to deal with some hidden dangers in the Song Dynasty first.
It is precisely because of this that he decided to take this dangerous move.
Although in the eyes of even generals like Zhang Xian and Wang Gui, this move is too risky and hopeless, but he has absolute confidence that he will turn this hope into inevitable.
Because he is Zhao Kuangyin.
Since he was able to personally create the Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty, he would naturally be able to personally make the Great Song Dynasty under his own control last forever.
This is the absolute confidence that he has forged in the five generations of chaotic times and battles in the mountains and bones.
My fate is with me!
Regardless of past and present, no one can shake such a fact.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..." Jurchen's dull war drums sounded all over the world in that instant.
……
"Foster father! Foster father!"
Qin Xi ran into the room with a face full of face, and saw Qin Hui who was holding a pen between the desks at a glance, he quickly stopped his smile and lowered his head.
He knew that his foster father didn't like being disturbed the most when he splashed ink in the study. Today he received a few good news in a row, and he was too gaffe.
Qin Hui's pen sharpened slightly, raised his head, looked at Qin Xi's appearance, but couldn't help but laughed dumbly, and asked softly, "Xi'er, why is it so joyful."
Qin Xi secretly saw that Qin Hui was truly unsullied. Then he let go of his heart and stepped forward with a smile: "Foster father, how many good news has the child really received?"
"Oh?" Qin Hui faintly replied, and leaned down before writing his own words again.
Qin Xi stepped forward and said, "The boy found some idlers in Lin'an City, and dispatched the original plan. The merchants large and small in Lin'an City all encouraged themselves to respond. The old and helpless people who have been fired now There are almost a thousand people waiting. There are also the agitation of the few experts who came from Piaoxiangfang, as well as the intentional or unintentional promotion of the adults from Lin'an Mansion and various ministries in the central government. Now I think that Yue Fei and Bao Daren and the others carried out these two donations to harm the country and the people, and it has almost become the consensus of everyone in Lin'an City. Moreover, those sergeants are rude and unscrupulous, act recklessly, and arouse dissatisfaction everywhere. When the emperor returned to Lin'an City, he was bound to be unable to stop the fierce discussion of things in the world."
He paused and saw Qin Huiyou burying his head in writing, and then continued: "This matter is all driven by Yue Fei and the military. Zhao Goruo will spare his guard and deal with Yue Fei and Bao Daren. Although it can suspend the anger of the people of the world, it will inevitably make all the confidants and soldiers who were loyal to him die, and no longer dare to have illusions about him, the prestige that he has finally established in the military will inevitably disappear. And if he is standing on Yue Fei’s side, scholars in the world will inevitably gather to attack. Even the people of Lin'an will have their way to their eyes and be indignant. Now Lin'an City has quite a disgrace to Zhao Gou. Xingbing has a lot of dissatisfaction. If he dared to continue to promote these two donations, I am afraid that Zhao's reputation for benevolence and love for the people for a hundred years will be ruined in his hands."
A smile appeared on Qin Xi's face: "I see Zhao Gou this time, I'm afraid I don't know how to choose anymore!"
"That's not necessarily." Qin Hui still looked calm and said slowly: "It's too early to say this now."
He raised his head, looked at Qin Xi, and said lightly: "Xi'er, you still haven't remembered what I told you."
"People's hearts are easy to be happy, irritable, and more changeable."
The corner of Qin Hui's mouth looked at the thoughtful Qin Xi, and a sneered smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "If the emperor official returns by luck this time, now Lin'an is cursing the emperor official for arrogant war and cruelty to the people. It is the officials and people who will rush to sing and sing to welcome the king. I am afraid that it is the officials and people. Isn't it?"
Qin Xi lowered his head, but he had to agree with what Qin Hui said.
The implementation of these two donations by Yue Fei and Bao Daren this time is of course sloppy, but after all, it is for the frontline military situation, and there is no room for excuse. What's more, in Lin'an City, as many wives and wives as they can cross the Yangtze River to regain the rivers and mountains, they do not want to, but they dare not think, as long as they see hope, as long as they have a chance to cheer and cheer, The emotions and resentment they suppressed in their hearts would burst out uncontrollably.
The scene above the court that day, it is difficult for him to forget for a moment in his life.
"However," Qin Hui lowered his head again: "If only this news is enough, I am afraid it is not enough to make you so happy."
Qin Xi was stunned, then smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my adoptive father."
He looked at Qin Hui and said, "Hey, here is my boy, I want to tell my foster father, whether Zhao Go wins or loses in this battle, I'm afraid Yue Fei won't escape this calamity anymore."
He paused deliberately before saying: "The boy has just received the news from the front line that the 300,000 troops on the west front of the Jinren have already withdrawn from the Hongxian Pass five days ago. The siege of Hongxian Pass has already resolved itself without a fight. ."
"Oh?" Qin Hui finally moved slightly and raised his head.
Qin Xi took a step forward and laughed: "Yue Fei and Bao Daren are collecting donations in Lin'an. The excuse is that they are urgent on the front line. If they don’t ask for military rations, they are afraid that Hongxian customs will not be guaranteed. But at this time, Yue Feiqiang’s collection of donations The second batch of military rations has not arrived yet, but the siege of Hongxian Guan has already cleared it up. Facts have proved that Yue Fei’s feed for the enemy is poor, and his additional collection of donations is completely superfluous and disturbs the people. This time even Zhao Gou Victory is still ahead, as long as we..."
He was talking about flying with pride, but when Su Er saw Qin Hui's face showed a dignified color, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and quickly stopped.
He waited for a while, and then cautiously asked: "Foster father, what is wrong with my child?"
"No", Qin Hui held his hand and shook his head slightly: "I'm just thinking, where did the three hundred thousand golden men's army have left Hongxian Pass?"
"Could it be..."
Qin Xi held his breath and looked at the foster father in front of him for a moment, but his face gradually stretched out, and he lifted the pen again.
"Xi'er," he wrote on his own, and whispered in his mouth: "It seems that it is time to play the next game with Yue Fei and Bao Daren."
……
"Zier Jiangnan, rebellious minister Zhao Gou, I am committed to the destiny of the heavens, and I will care for the nations, and there is the leader of the Liao Fu..."
Wang Gui looked at the dozens of two-and-a-half-high "shield" wing guards under the city. The loudly voiced knight had already read this essay for the third time, and he couldn't help but frowned.
Since it was Han Chang's army, he naturally understood the seemingly unreasonable arrangement of the original Emperor Marshal.
If it comes from Jinwushu, tens of miles, it is precisely the distance that allows the cavalry to run a sexual distance. It is bound to take advantage of the momentum to attack Shuzhou City, so it should be in the city to fight against In this first round of assault, Fang is the rationale for the use of troops.
However, the three hundred thousand troops on the Western Front of the Jinren traveled long distances and marched thousands of miles. Even if they were brave, they would lose their self-reliance. They would have to undergo some repairs before they could start a siege. It is extremely clever to close the city gate and wait for work with ease.
But I didn’t expect that the Jurchen, who had always fought with horses to fight against each other with a head-to-head battle, actually obtained a surrender document of Li Si Pian Liu. In the article, he counted all the humble words of the emperor’s officials in the past and rebuked this time. It was a treachery to start a war against Jin, and if he were to keep his voice down like this, it would really hurt one's morale.
As soon as Wang Gui thought of this, he was about to step forward to ask for an order to lead a small team to attack the particularly comfortable Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin's unswerving voice rang in his ears: "General Wang, you think it takes a few arrows. ?"
"Arrow?" It took a long time for Wang Gui to understand the meaning of the emperor's commander's words, and he raised his head involuntarily or incomprehensibly.
Although the Jinren seldom made such a sly thing during the siege, he was very experienced in finding a cavalry with a loud voice to fight under the city.
At this time, based on the position of the cavalry who is chanting the surrender aloud, no matter who uses the strongest crossbow such as the waist crossbow, it can only be shot just right, and there is a group of soldiers around him. Pushing Gundam two more than two people, the "shield" Tuantuan wing guard, which is more than half a foot thick, although he admired the emperor's martial arts training since the emperor marshal fought with Niu Gao, but if he wants to shoot down the city with an arrow The knight outside, he still felt a little like a dream.
There was a smile on Zhao Kuangyin’s face like a knife cut and axe. He suddenly turned his head and raised his voice and said: "Wu Na Jurchen Barbarian, listen, if you can catch my three arrows without dying, I will take Shuzhou City. Give it with both hands, otherwise you can go back to your northeastern home as soon as possible. Don't show your ugliness here and learn to talk."
Suddenly, there was silence between the world and the earth, and then there was an uproar both inside and outside the city.
The sergeants at the head of the city of Shuzhou, regardless of military discipline, consulted each other for evidence, almost no one could believe their ears.
There were bursts of laughter from outside the city.
crazy!
At this moment, almost everyone had this idea in their hearts.
After a long while, the high-pitched knight got Han Chang's signal, suppressed his excitement, and shouted: "You guys speak like farts, the least credible, this general may take it seriously."
Zhao Kuangyin laughed dumbly, just about to speak, Wang Gui already anxiously stepped forward: "Your Majesty..."
Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand gently, and stopped Wang Gui's words: "You have no jokes!"
He turned his head and faced the outside of the city, with strong confidence in his eyes: "Go, please give me Taizu's'sun-swallowing bow'!"
