Of course Liu Qi knew that the new leader of the Taichiwu tribe would not let him clean his protective gear so easily. How could he not understand things that the young general who gave him the military counselor could understand.
But he knew better that no matter what the opponent's plans were, he would defeat them ten times with all his strength.
However, in this process, some losses are inevitable.
Liu Qi could not guarantee that today's soldiers of the Song Dynasty could still maintain a clear understanding at any time and anywhere as before, allowing him to attack any place like an arm and a finger.
Once Liu Qi entered a state of madness, he no longer wanted to command, so before attacking this time, he gave up Yan Chong, who was thrown out as a bait by him, and took one step ahead to surround the enemy.
With his roar, the army rushed over, and countless arrows fell on the Mongols like a heavy rain. This time they were the ones who suffered heavy casualties.
On the periphery, Liu Qi's military counselor Dang Chunmu looked at the battle situation in front of him and didn't know what to say.
At this time, looking at the general Liu Qi beside him, Dang Chunmu sighed for the first time.
"The general is very calculating. It seems that the villain before was really... he really acted like a villain. He just made the general laugh!"
"It is your duty to discover the other party's problems and remind me. If there is anything you need to apologize for, if you don't do this, it will be a dereliction of duty on your part.
After this battle, I will report to Your Majesty that there are indeed too many counselors in this army.
You're good, but as for the others...hum! "
After Liu Qi finished speaking, Dang Chunmu felt embarrassed for a while. He felt as if he had offended many people...
He even felt that his wife said that it would be a good choice for him to abandon martial arts and become a scholar.
"This... the general is joking. After all, it doesn't mean he hasn't helped the general..."
Dang Chunmu didn't know if he was a little angry when he said this. After all, he had worked hard to inform Liu Qi and almost started fighting with his own general.
But in the end, everything was calculated by Liu Qi, which was simply...forget it, if he said that he was being played, he would always feel sorry for his ancestors.
Dang Chunmu's look was also seen in Liu Qi's eyes, and Liu Qi couldn't help but shook his head.
"What do you want to ask? Ask now while the war below is not over yet. If it happens in the future, you may not have a chance."
After hearing these words, Dang Chunmu felt frightened again, and even felt that he didn't have any secrets in front of this general.
Everything about himself was exposed in his eyes. He had just wanted to give up martial arts and follow literature, but what this person said just now seemed to have... pointed him out.
"Gudong~" There was a surge in his throat, and an awkward smile appeared on Dang Chunmu's face.
"I just want to know, general..." Dang Chunmu was extremely hesitant at this time. He did have a question, a very important question.
It is about how their party family should behave in the future.
But after asking this question, he might die in this desert land.
"Why did the general kill Yan Chong! After all, he is the most powerful general under the general's command, and he is also the most heroic general of our Song Dynasty. He has countless military exploits. He..."
Dang Chunmu summoned up all the courage to speak up about this problem, and then his whole face turned red. His legs even trembled in the stirrups, for fear that a cold arrow would pierce his chest from behind.
Liu Qi looked at Dang Chunmu solemnly again, seeming surprised that this guy actually had the courage to speak out about this issue.
"You...do you know what you just said?"
"The general will know!"
"Haha, I thought you would ask me when I guessed that the Mongols had reinforcements."
"This is not a problem, just like what the general said before, even the general can see what is revealed, how can the general not see it.
As for what Talihutai thinks and what he wants to do, what does it matter?
In this Mobei grassland, there are only a few methods he can use.
But the general wanted to know why it was Yan Chong... He was the general who trusted him the most! "
At this time, Dang Chunmu had completely let go. He refused to say any more nonsense and directly questioned the doubts and anger in his heart.
Liu Qi looked at Dang Chunmu in front of him with a very indifferent look. He did not have the anger and embarrassment that Dang Chunmu imagined, and there was no evasive look in his eyes.
She didn't answer his question immediately, but instead asked lightly.
"Some time ago, Yan Chong invited all the generals and officers in the army to drink, and he also used his own money to feed the army sergeants a meal of broth. That time he almost emptied his family fortune.
That time, he must have invited you too. "
"..." Dang Chunmu was startled for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Of course, that was because General Yan Chong finally had a wife. His wife has had nothing to offer him these years, making him depressed.
Finally, he reported to His Majesty and asked for His Majesty's permission to formally take in a concubine, and finally had the child.
When I was invited to have a drink, the child was officially one year old. It is said that Zhou Zhou also caught a sharp blade, which means that he will definitely be a tiger general on the battlefield in the future. "
When he said these words, Dang Chunmu seemed to be excited for the heroic general Yan Chong who had died in the battle, and almost said, "The tiger father has no dog son, and General Yan Chong has someone to succeed him."
But he couldn't say these words, because Liu Qi gave him the answer he was waiting for.
"Yan Chong is a very capable person, decisive in killing, brave and good at fighting. Although he has nothing to do with Zhijiang, he will never be a commander-in-chief in this life.
But whether he is a vanguard or a general who rushes into battle, it is more than enough. "
"If that's the case, why would the general do this?" Dang Chunmu risked everything, "General, don't say anything at this time. This incident was just an accident.
Although my waiting speed was not slow, when the smoke started to rise, I clearly had a chance to save General Yan Chong.
It was General you who chose to go around and delay the last moment in person, so..."
"This general did do it intentionally. Yan Chong's death in Mobei is the best result for him." Liu Qi once again unexpectedly did not deny the matter. Instead, he talked about it for a while. Chunmu and even the Dang family changed their lives.
"Yan Chong is a good general. I like party generals the most, but the Song Dynasty no longer needs such generals.
Why do you think Yue Pengju and Han Shizhong are becoming more and more lonely now, slowly handing over their armies to their deputy generals, and even keeping their sons away from the army?
To put it bluntly, we have understood the situation of the world and the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was rich. In recent years, Fuzhou's commercial taxes alone have amounted to millions of dollars a year. The land in the south of the Yangtze River, the land in Guangdong and Guangxi, the land in Yizhou, and even the land in the Central Plains have gradually become richer in food.
Can this be enough for you?
For the Yellow River alone, the Ministry of Industry of the Song Dynasty mobilized nearly 700,000 people every year, and it took three months to work on it.
This is just enough to keep the Yellow River from bursting its banks on a large scale for the second year.
All waterway tributaries in the Yangtze River Basin also need to be repaired. This is another major project involving hundreds of thousands of people.
The Ministry of Works has become a gold-devouring behemoth in the past two years. Every year, the Ministry of Works swallows up nearly half of the tens of millions of tax bills, and the Ministry of War swallows up the other half.
Every year at the time of settlement, Ding Gong, the Minister of Household Affairs, would take out his ancestral pear-shaped dutiful son stick and block the gates of the yamen of the Ministry of War and Ministry of Works and go on the streets for three days to curse.
The officials even had to eat and seclude themselves in the palace honestly during these days, so as not to get into trouble with Ding Gong.
Just because the officials had made various tax cuts and exemptions eighty-five times in ten years, the people were relieved, and Ding Gong's hair turned completely white.
And these two gold-swallowing behemoths are still far away. None of us knows how much price we have to pay to allow the Song Dynasty to continue.
After destroying the Jin Kingdom and the Huining Mansion, we certainly knew that this was a good opportunity to expedition to Mobei.
It is not impossible for a large army to come out to sweep Mobei and expand the territory thousands of miles, or even thousands of miles.
What about banishing the wolf to stay in Xu, and what about reining in the horse? Aren't those things in His Majesty's bag?
When the time comes, your Majesty, don't talk about catching up with the Han and Tang Dynasties. He can really become an emperor through the ages and reverse the reputation of the imperial family of the Song Dynasty that is almost like a joke.
But what can he do?
After only three months of garrisoning, nearly one million civilians were mobilized in the rear. One million people were unable to engage in production and transport grain, grass and baggage. Do you know what this means?
Not only does it mean that their fields are almost deserted, but more importantly, the court is responsible for their food rations.
Our Great Song Dynasty has already revealed all its secrets. If we continue, even if His Majesty can become the emperor of the ages, our Great Song Dynasty may really be in danger of extinction. "
"So...so..."
"You also understand why he can't stay." Liu Qi looked at Dang Chunmu in front of him and chuckled, "Yes, of course he is a brave general, a general who has fought for me in the Song Dynasty for many years.
Then he is too straight, he will definitely keep charging out.
Guan Jia has reached his age. If he stops his steps this time, he may not even know how much time is left.
It doesn't matter much if the military power cannot be regained at this time. After all, these generals today are loyal to the officials and the prince.
But if the generals who are determined to attack unite at this time, the whole country will be in a frenzy, and the court will not be able to stop them from fighting.
When that time comes, you plan to let the officials go and purge them.
Or do you plan to let the prince clean them up?
Or... just like now, after letting them die on the battlefield, the officials and the prince will take good care of their descendants for them...?
After one dynasty, our army of the Great Song Dynasty reached its peak again, and swept across Mobei with strong soldiers and horses? "
"...The general will know."
"Fight to the death and never retreat... Oh, fight to the death... never retreat..."
