"Officials, be careful of fraud!"
"Officials, be careful. You are cunning and cunning. You will definitely use the pretext of peace talks to harm the officials!"
"In the official family, my brother thought that he could exploit his plan. During the peace talks in front of the battle, he secretly arranged cannons to kill Wanyan Wushu, the traitor, to avenge the late Emperor Zhuang Zong!"
"What Lieutenant Han said is extremely good. Officials and ministers agree!"
"Officials and ministers also second the proposal!"
"Guan family, this is a good opportunity to wipe out Wushu's 100,000 soldiers!"
"Yes, the officials have many Wushu soldiers. If they jump over the wall in a hurry, they can always escape. Why not coax them to Yanghe Village, and then have a pincer attack with Lieutenant Yue's soldiers and horses..."
As soon as Liu E, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, left, the generals in Zhao Kai's tent began to express their opinions.
Everyone has the same opinion. They don't believe Wanyan Zongbi, and they all think Wanyan Zongbi is treacherous, so we must be more treacherous!
Zhao Kai actually did not want to negotiate peace with the Kingdom of Jin. It was not that he wanted to destroy the Kingdom of Jin in one go, but that he felt that killing a hundred or two hundred thousand gold thieves was more reliable than any peace treaty!
But the fact that you can't really make peace doesn't mean you can't fake peace... because Wanyan Wushu still has a hundred thousand troops at hand (actually only 80,000)! However, Zhao Kai only had 70,000 troops in his hands, which was 30,000 less than Wu Shu.
It's not that you can't win if you lose 30,000 yuan, but the loss will certainly not be small.
If Wanyan Wushu jumped over the wall in a hurry and led 100,000 people to fight for their lives, even if Zhao Kai could win, it would be a miserable victory.
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai glanced at Han Shizhong, who was shouting the loudest just now. When Zhao Kai first started his career, Han Shizhong was like a pillar in the army!
Although Zhao Kai liked to be on the battlefield at that time, Han Shizhong was actually in charge of the command. As a result, all Han Shizhong's achievements were used by Zhao Kai to increase his prestige...
But after Yue Fei's rise, Han Shizhong's status in Zhao Kai's army began to decline. Yue Fei became Zhao Kai's gold medal fighter, while Han Shizhong, although he had been stationed at the Guangwu Mountain camp for many years and led the Xuan Fu Jingdong in the name of being the Luoyang imperial court's head coach on the eastern front, he was actually just a housekeeper. The opportunities for meritorious service are not even as great as those of Li Xiaozhong, Xiang Ke, Li Shifu, Dong Jingang, Wu Jie, and Qu Duan.
This time during the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, he was not able to lead the troops alone. Instead, he followed Zhao Kai as the "chief of staff". Of course, he did not achieve any great achievements. His status in the military is no longer comparable to that of Yue Fei. It is indeed a bit aggrieved...
"Second Brother Han," Zhao Kai decided to give Han Shizhong a chance to make meritorious deeds, he said with a smile, "Wu Shu wants to defraud peace, so we can use this trick to coax him into Yanghe Village!
I'll leave this guy to you to catch, but don't let him get away! "
Han Shizhong was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, officials. With my brother here, we can definitely kill the thief Wu Shu this time and avenge the death of Emperor Zhuangzong... But there are only 70,000 soldiers here." Ma, there are still some shortcomings!”
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Now that Yu Pass has been won, just let Li Shifu lead an army to defend it. Yue Pengju's army has been transferred to Yanghe Village, and they are all under your command! In addition, the two thousand people and 72 cannons of Jiahe Fort are also under your command. At your command!
With 130,000 people and more than 300 cannons, Wanyan Wushu can be killed, right? "
"Of course having so many soldiers, horses and artillery is enough!" Han Shizhong said with a grin, "As long as the thief Wu Shu enters Yanghe Village and is surrounded by us, he will not be able to escape regardless of whether there is peace talks before the battle. !”
Han Shizhong's plan is to besiege the city and starve him!
There are many Tatar traitors under Wanyan Zongbi. It is not easy to fight even if they jump over the wall. If they can be surrounded and starved for a month, it will be easy to eliminate... If they can't survive in one month, then add another month. !
Zhao Kai was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "Second brother Han, then I will send Pengju a golden medal arrow and let him listen to your command... I will also return to Shuiyan Temple myself, waiting for your victory!"
Brother Han, don’t be anxious, I have time! "
Zhao Kai wanted to let Han Shizhong perform meritorious service, so of course he couldn't go with Lao Han to kill Wanyan Zongbi, otherwise who would get the credit?
It was not the actions of a wise man like Zhao Kai to steal the credit from his subordinates!
And now that he has grown into a real military strategist, of course he knows what Han Shizhong is thinking...
...
"Your Majesty, Zhao Kai promised so readily, there must be some fraud!"
"Your Majesty, the firearms of the southerners are sharp, and Zhao Kai is so cunning and cunning. He shot my father dead in front of the battle in the name of negotiating peace. You must be on your guard!"
"Your Majesty, why don't we try to pull off a trick and create a dead end for Zhao Kai!"
"Good idea, let's fight tooth for tooth..."
After Liu E returned to the "command pit" where Wanyan Wushu was, a group of generals from the Kingdom of Jin also shamelessly encouraged Wanyan Wushu to kill Zhao Kai.
Wanyan Wushu smiled sinisterly like "hey hey hey", which didn't look like a good thing!
His smile made the Jurchen generals, traitors, and Khitan traitors in the pit feel that there was something funny about him, so they all stopped talking and stared at Wanyan Wushu.
Wanyan Wushu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The strategy that the lonely king used this time is to deceive and make peace!"
When I heard "fraudulent peace" below, I thought of the battle that killed Song Zhuangzong.
Cheating and peace... there is a lot to be done!
Everyone became interested and looked eagerly at Wanyan Wushu.
Wanyan Wushu, on the other hand, has an unpredictable expression and is shaking his head. If he shakes it with a goose feather fan, he will look like a rough version of Zhuge Kongming.
"Now our army of 80,000 people is trapped in the west of Yanghe River, and we are already in danger of being attacked from both sides! Moreover, there are 100,000 enemies in front of us, so our troops are very powerful. If they attack day and night, we want to move to Yanghe Village. It’s not easy! Now that Zhao Kai has agreed to talk to Gu Wang in front of Yanghe Village, he has fallen into the trap... Gu Wang can at least abdicate and stick to Yanghe Village with you!"
These words are really encouraging!
The atmosphere in the "command pit" suddenly became a little low.
If you stick to Yanghe Village, you can probably live for one more month... which is almost the time to appeal the death penalty, but it is better than being pulled out and killed immediately!
However, Wanyanwushu still has a back-up plan!
He is the Jin Wushu who fought with Yue Fei for half his life and still had the last laugh in history!
Jin Wushu squinted his eyes and looked around the pit, and finally cast his eyes on a frowning Jurchen general. This guy's name is Wanyan Salihe, and he is a clan member of the Wanyan family. When he was young, he followed Aguda to rebel against the Liao Dynasty. He was also brave and good at fighting, and was quite popular with Aguda.
However, the older this guy gets, the more cowardly he becomes, and he always looks sad. But no matter how timid he is, his qualifications are still there, and he is kind-hearted and cherishes his soldiers, so he has great military morale. Regardless of whether they are Jurchens, Bohai people, Khitan people, or Han people in the Jin army, they are all willing to work under him.
However, Jin Wushu was violent and would scold and torture soldiers at every turn. Everyone below him was afraid of him, so Zong Qian arranged for Wanyan Salihe to follow him as his deputy.
In addition, Wanyan Salihe is good at both civil and military skills and has good calligraphy skills, which can make up for his lack of Wu skills.
"Sa Lihe, don't cry and lose face, I have a clever plan!"
When Sali heard this, he suddenly felt that he had hope in life again. He looked at Wushu eagerly, and Wushu said: "Yanghe Village stands across the river. If the Southern Army wants to prevent our army from breaking through, they must deploy on both sides of the river. , and Deputy Marshal Zuo will definitely do his best to rescue us. Therefore, the enemies in Hedong will definitely be contained. As long as we repel the enemies in Hexi, we can go north and go straight to Yanshan."
Sa Lihe looked sad again, "But there are hundreds of thousands of enemies from the east of the river, and they have sharp weapons. How can we defeat them?"
Wanyan Wushu smiled and said: "It's not impossible... As long as we make good arrangements when we retreat to Yanghe Village tonight, and set up a flanking attack for Zhao Kai, it won't be difficult to defeat him." Repulsed.”
"A attack from both sides?" Sa Lihui still frowned. It wasn't that he was pessimistic, but that the current situation was clearly that the Golden Soldier was being attacked from both sides! According to Wu Shu, how could the Song army be attacked from both sides?
Wanyan Wushu explained with a smile: "We can quietly divide the troops into two groups when retreating to Yanghe Village... The large group of people, light up the torches, form a formation, and slowly retreat to Yanghe Village . At the same time, another 20,000 elite cavalry will be selected, with titles and hooves bound to the horses. They will not raise fire at night, walk in the dark, and ambush in the mountains and forests to the west. When they are called in front of the formation tomorrow, they will send out the trumpet as a signal, raise the east and west simultaneously, and fight Zhao Kai. Caught off guard!"
There seems to be some drama!
Between Yanghe River and Jieshi Mountain, in addition to a large area of flat land, there is also a string of small hills running from north to south. The mountains are not high, but the forests are dense!
It's a great place to set up an ambush!
Sa Lihe thought for a while and then asked: "Your Majesty, it is not easy to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to ambush in the mountains to the west... I wonder who can take on this important task?"
Wanyan Wushu patted his chest, "Me! Apart from me, who else in the army is so brave?"
This is true!
After Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Yinshuke died in battle, now the most brave general in the Jurchen army is Wanyan Wushu, otherwise Wanyan Zongqian would not have allowed him to lead his troops deep to the west of Yanghe River!
Wanyan Sali shouted and asked: "Then who is supervising the army in Yanghe Village?"
Wanyan Wushu raised his hand and pointed at Salihe, "Of course it's you! Among the king's troops, only you, Salihe, can shoulder such an important task!"
"This..." Wanyan Salihui certainly knew that Wanyan Wushu's words made sense... The only one in the army who could lead 20,000 people to fight an ambush was Wanyan Wushu. And the only one who can advance slowly with the remaining army of less than 60,000 people is himself.
But the problem is, Wanyan Salihe always feels that something is wrong!
When Wanyan Wushu saw that Sa Li was speechless, he winked at Liu Yan, the leader of the Han'er Army. Liu Yan immediately said: "Du Jian, your Majesty's plan is the only possible way to survive now! Our son-in-law of Dai Jin , we can’t just sit back and wait for death, right? Don’t hesitate, lead us to fight with the Southerners!”
Wanyan Salihe glanced at Wushu again and saw a Wushu with an iron-blooded face and murderous intent, so he gritted his teeth, nodded and said: "Okay! That's it!"
