Two days later, the news of the death of the Supreme Emperor at sea was sent to the capital in an urgent manner.
After hearing this, Qi Xiaozong burst into tears and couldn't eat for two days. He also expressed that he would serve as a mourner for three years. It was only because of the fierce war and danger at this time that Qi Xiaozong calmed down his sadness and continued to handle government affairs under the persuasion of his ministers.
Originally, Qi Xiaozong was already considering rehabilitating General Han Fuyue and Zhaoxue, but the Supreme Emperor had already gone to sea in those days, so the matter could only be shelved.
After all, rehabilitating General Han is tantamount to asking Qi Gaozong to admit his mistake. This matter can only be done with Qi Gaozong's personal nod.
In real history, Qi Gaozong did nod. This shows that he is well aware that General Han Fuyue died unjustly.
At this time, the news came that Qi Gaozong died at sea, and Qi Xiaozong immediately ordered that the matter must be thoroughly investigated!
But how to investigate thoroughly?
The entire ship was burned by fire, and then sank to the bottom of the ocean. Even if there is some evidence on the ship that was not destroyed by the fire by luck, with the technological level of this era, how can we go deep into the seabed to salvage it?
I'm afraid this can only be an unsolved case.
And just when Qi Xiaozong was worried about this bizarre incident, the military report from the front came.
…
"Guan family! Guan family!
"Military report from the front!" The little eunuch ran over panting and handed the latest military report to Qi Xiaozong.
Qi Xiaozong was originally worried about political affairs, but when he heard the military report, he couldn't help but perked up: "How?"
The little eunuch was out of breath: "What a great victory! What a great victory!"
Qi Xiaozong's face instantly beamed with joy. He opened the military newspaper and checked it carefully.
The financier Wanyan Hailing arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River, built a warship, and prepared to cross the river from Niuzhuji.
At this time, the more than 18,000 Niuzhuji defenders were demoralized and panicked. Zhao Binfu, a member of Zhongshushe, was the staff sergeant of the Jianghuai Army and Ma Mansion and was ordered to go to Niuzhuji to reward the troops.
Seeing the critical situation, Zhao Binfu resolutely summoned the generals to announce the imperial court's order to resist the Jin Dynasty, reward the army, and mobilize the soldiers to fight to the death.
In the battle of Niuzhuji, the Qi army took advantage of the naval force to intercept the Jin army's ships in the river and achieved a great victory. The next day, they approached the ferry on the north bank and burned the enemy ships.
The gold owner Wanyan Hailing became angry and ordered the Jin army to cross the river from Guazhou. He was killed by his subordinates and the Jin army was defeated.
After Qi Xiaozong read the military report, he was so happy that he immediately shouted: "Okay! Okay!
"What a great Zhao Binfu, he has really contributed to helping the country!
"If the Jin people really cross the Yangtze River, our country will be in danger...
"Pass on my decree and reward Zhao Binfu generously!
"Also, who promoted and appointed this person? He should be rewarded for finding such a capable minister for the imperial court!"
The little eunuch looked a little strange: "When I returned to the official house, it was...it was Li Xiang who promoted me."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Xiaozong's expression became strange.
That powerful traitor Li Hao?
The original good mood was extinguished in half in an instant.
The bad news came a few days ago that Li Hao had died on the warship along with the Supreme Emperor.
For Qi Xiaozong, Li Hao's death was not a pity, it could even be said to be a great pleasure.
Therefore, while he only mourned for Qi Gaozong, he had no feelings about Li Hao's death. He even just wanted to replace him with a prime minister he could trust immediately.
When I suddenly mentioned it again, I still felt unlucky.
"I understand, please step back."
Qi Xiaozong waved his hand, dismissed the young eunuch, and read the military report several times.
"This Zhao Binfu is really a strange person.
"It's just... why would such a person be recommended by Li Hao?"
Qi Xiaozong was puzzled.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and the little eunuch went through a lot of trouble to dig out the bag of tips that Li Hao had given him before leaving.
Li Hao had previously told Qi Xiaozong to open it after hearing Niu Zhuji's military report.
Qi Xiaozong didn't take it to heart at all, and he didn't care much about what the traitor gave him, so he just let the little eunuch keep it.
But today, I really received the news of Niu Zhuji's great victory. Only then did I remember this matter and dig it out again.
Opening the brochure, there were actually several letters inside.
The first letter contains the current situation and location of the elite soldiers created by General Han Fuyue.
The second letter is a list of some officials in the six departments, so that Qi Xiaozong can appoint Zhao Binfu as prime minister, then inspect these candidates one by one, and arrange them into positions of real power in the six departments.
The third letter stated the address of a manor outside the capital city. And it was written: The person your Majesty cares about is here.
Qi Xiaozong's hands trembled slightly.
After a long time, he shouted: "Here comes someone! Prepare a car! I want to go out of the city!"
…
In the manor outside the city.
Wei Shun swept the courtyard as usual and served General Han Fuyue in his daily life.
As an unknown soldier who has always admired General Han, being able to serve him by his side for ten years was already an extremely happy thing for him.
But in these days, Wei Shun often thought of the current prime minister, Li Hao, whom he had not seen for a long time.
The ten-year period has arrived.
I heard that the Jin people are coming again.
This time the leader was no longer General Han Fuyue's old rival Wanyan Sheng, but Wanyan Hailing.
But so what? This Wanyan Hailing looks worse than Wanyan Sheng. As long as General Han Fuyue takes action, the mere golden soldiers are just chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning!
But, why hasn’t anyone in the court come to greet General Han?
General Han Fuyue was still reading or writing his own art of war as usual, but he was very indifferent to this.
But Wei Shun was even more eager than General Han.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside.
Wei Shun was stunned for a moment, then hurried to the door and opened it a small crack.
Just looking out through this small gap, he was stunned.
Because he has never seen such a big battle!
I saw that the small road outside the manor was already crowded with people. There were officers and soldiers who looked like the Forbidden Army, other officials responsible for driving the accompanying vehicles, and a young eunuch came to the door.
And further away, there is a magnificent carriage, which can only be used by the emperor.
"What...what's the matter?" Wei Shun's voice trembled slightly.
The little eunuch said softly: "His Majesty the Emperor is here! Come and see him soon!"
A thunderclap sounded in Wei Shun's mind, and he quickly opened the door to the manor.
In the royal chariot, the emperor in gorgeous clothes walked over quickly without caring about so many red tapes: "I ask you, who lives in this manor!"
Wei Shun was so excited that he couldn't speak for a while.
However, he didn't need to answer.
Because Qi Xiaozong followed his figure and looked towards the manor, a tall figure had already taken two steps and knelt down to him.
"My lord, Han Fuyue, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
Qi Xiaozong's expression was like a lightning strike. He staggered forward and supported General Han Fuyue with trembling hands.
"General Han... you... you are still alive!"
…
In the first year of Longxing, Jin soldiers invaded.
Zhao Binfu scored a great victory in Niuzhuji.
One month later, Qi Xiaozong rehabilitated General Han Fuyue and immediately appointed General Han Fuyue as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition. With the old army as the backbone, he reorganized the new army and vowed to fight for the Northern Expedition.
Zhao Binfu was also appointed as the prime minister to supervise the transportation of grain and grass in the rear.
It is known in history as the Longxing Northern Expedition.
The world was shocked when the news that General Han Fuyue was not dead came out.
The people of Qi Dynasty all cheered and cried with joy. After hearing this, the heroes in the north rose up one after another to coordinate General Han Fuyue's Northern Expedition.
Under the leadership of General Han Fuyue, the Qi army even defeated Lingbi, Suzhou and other places to intimidate the Central Plains.
The Jin army concentrated its superior forces to counterattack and was defeated by General Han Fuyue. They achieved three major victories within one month.
General Han Fuyue took advantage of the situation and sent his troops northward. The anti-Jin rebels in Hedong and Hebei prefectures and counties spontaneously seized the city and responded. The wonderful plan of "connecting Heshuo" ten years ago has once again worked wonders.
There are more than 400,000 loyal people in Hebei, all taking General Han Fuyue as their banner, hoping that the Qi army can cross the river as soon as possible.
The remaining troops of the Jin army were demoralized and had no fighting spirit. The Khitan and Northern Man tribes in the Jin Kingdom rebelled one after another, and chaos broke out everywhere.
In order to replenish their troops, the Jin people could only recruit strong men to join the army again, which was the so-called "signing army". However, none of the counties in the old areas of the Qi Dynasty had any followers. From the south of Yanjing, orders could not be issued.
A few months later, General Han Fuyue conquered all counties in Hedong and Hebei, marched into Yanjing, completely annihilated the remaining Jin army, and recovered Yanyun.
The Jin people suffered from frequent internal and external troubles. Upon seeing this, the Northern Barbarians, Xixia, Goryeo and other forces raised armies.
It is a pity that Jin Shizong, who succeeded Wanyan Hailing, was a well-known wise king in the history of the Jin Kingdom. He managed to maintain the situation in such a critical situation. He only gave up Yanyun and the surrounding counties and shrank his power. After giving up two-thirds of the Jin Kingdom's territory, the situation was barely stabilized.
After General Han Fuyue recaptured Yanyun, he stopped fighting because of the large amount of military expenditures due to the continuous battles and the fact that the territory outside Yanyun was not old and would be difficult to digest even if he captured it.
In the end, the Qi Dynasty signed a peace treaty with the Jin people, and the Jin people ceded more than ten states and counties and bowed their heads as vassals, paying tribute every year.
After that, Qi Xiaozong worked hard to govern, and with the assistance of Zhao Binfu and Han Fuyue, he brought the Northland back under his control, recuperated and completed ZTE.
…
Chu Ge watched it all silently from God's perspective.
Although the Li Hao he played had died on the ship, the trial did not end immediately. Instead, he was allowed to watch the subsequent scenes freely.
After seeing this scene, Chu Ge couldn't help but sigh: "It's worth it!"
The results achieved by General Han Fuyue were indeed in line with his expectations.
In fact, in real history, shortly after Qi Xiaozong ascended the throne, he rehabilitated General Han Fuyue and Zhaoxue. Immediately afterwards, the Longxing Northern Expedition began, and Lingbi, Suzhou and other places were restored one after another, which shocked the Central Plains.
But it was a pity that the former army generals were at odds and the army was disorganized. After the Jin people mobilized heavy troops to encircle them, the Qi army suffered heavy losses and had to reach a consensus.
Although there were some changes in this peace negotiation, such as the emperor of the Qi Dynasty no longer calling himself a minister but uncle and nephew, and the silver and silk offered in the previous peace negotiation were reduced by 50,000 each, the Qi Dynasty still ceded six states to the Jin Kingdom.
Such a result was naturally unacceptable to Qi Xiaozong.
But there was nothing he could do if he didn't accept it.
At that time, the Qi Dynasty had neither soldiers nor generals to fight. Even if it managed to fight, it would only suffer a more tragic defeat.
Later, Qi Xiaozong re-appointed Zhao Binfu as the prime minister to organize the military. However, Zhao Binfu was a civil servant after all and was far inferior to General Han Fuyue. Moreover, the military equipment at that time was so depleted that it was difficult to recover, so Zhao Binfu eventually became ill from overwork and became seriously ill. After his death, the new Northern Expedition finally failed to take place.
Qi Xiaozong had no ambitions for the Northern Expedition, but in the end he could only sigh with regret.
In this historical slice, Chu Ge made a series of arrangements to deal with this situation.
The first is to make this war come early, so that those veterans of hundreds of battles are still in their prime.
Secondly, General Han Fuyue's army was retained in the organic area. After General Han Fuyue was revived, he could directly use this as a skeleton to expand the army without having to train from scratch, saving a lot of time.
Of course, the most important thing is to save the life of General Han Fuyue.
General Han Fuyue was only thirty-nine years old when he was killed. Even ten years later, he was only forty-nine years old, and he was still in his prime.
And as long as General Han Fuyue is here, battles that were originally unwinnable can be won.
The Jin soldiers gathered heavy troops to besiege the Qi army. It was originally a great victory and forced the Qi Dynasty to negotiate peace, but after encountering General Han Fuyue, it turned into a rout.
As for the recovery of Yanyun and the internal rebellions in the Jin Kingdom...
This is actually a result that could have been achieved ten years ago.
In fact, the Jin Kingdom was already suffering from internal and external troubles at that time, so the Jin talents had no choice but to sign a peace agreement and sort out their internal conflicts. It was only ten years later that they dared to go south again.
But ten years later, Wanyan Hailing still has not been able to completely eliminate these problems.
It's okay to keep winning, but once defeated, all these problems will be exposed.
Therefore, General Han Fuyue rose again, and the whole Qi Dynasty was inspired. With everyone working together, it is not surprising that they achieved such results.
…
In Chu Ge's field of vision, fog gradually filled the air.
Then, a line of system prompts appears.
[Trial Fantasy: Eight Thousand Miles Road Yunheyue]
【Clearance! 】
The original review of the game was not a few simple comments or poems, but a summary of a character's life.
[Li Hao, Prime Minister of the Qi Dynasty, was born in Jiangning. 】
[In the fifth year of Zhenghe, Li Hao passed the imperial examination and was appointed as Imperial College Xuezheng. During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of Qi, he successively served as Zuo Sijian and Yushi Zhongcheng. In the second year of Jingping, he was captured to Jin Dynasty and used by Wan Yanchang. 】
[In the fourth year of Emperor Gaozong's reign in Qi, Li Hao returned to the Qi Dynasty and urged Qi and Jin to negotiate peace. Later, he was promoted to participate in political affairs, and then he became the prime minister. When he took office, he organized the officials and worked hard to govern. The following year, he was impeached and dismissed from office. 】
[Three years later, he became prime minister again and remained independent for more than ten years. When he took office, he advised Qi Gaozong to continue resisting the Jin Dynasty, but Qi Gaozong refused to listen and insisted on unjustly killing General Han Fuyue and negotiating peace with the Jin people. 】
[Li Hao dealt with the emperor and a group of surrendering ministers, secretly changed jailers to rescue General Han Fuyue, and made many arrangements to ensure that General Han would have soldiers to fight when he rose again ten years later. 】
[In the first year of Longxing, the gold lord Wanyan Hailing invaded with the entire army. Li Haoli admonished Qi Gaozong for his Zen position and fled to the sea. Later, the ship exploded and caught fire, and Qi Gaozong died at sea. 】
[Qi Xiaozong seized the title of Li Hao and gave him a posthumous title of Mi Chou. Later, General Han Fuyue made great achievements in the Northern Expedition and advocated for Li Hao's rebellion. Qi Xiaozong posthumously presented Li Haoshen to King Li Haoshen, with the posthumous title of Zhongxian. 】
[Li Hao has been controversial in later generations. Some people believe that he was the chief culprit of the ten-year wasted negotiations between Qi and Jin Dynasty and General Han Fuyue. He was a powerful traitor in the DPRK and a representative figure of the capitulation faction. The Jin people and the people in the negotiation "cannot go without guilt." Prime Minister" is evidence of the crime; some people think that he was just acting on the orders of Emperor Gaozong of Qi and secretly protected General Han Fuyue, who was the first contributor to Longxing Zhongxing ten years later. 】
[Evaluation: Know me and sin me, only Spring and Autumn! 】
This life summary almost clearly describes all the ups and downs in the life of Li Hao, played by Chu Ge.
Chu Ge looked at the summary of his life and couldn't help but sigh.
This Li Hao is a fictional character in "Dark Sand".
The first half of his life was exactly the same as Qin Huizhi's.
The situation did not change until he came back to power for the second time and negotiated with the Jin people.
In history, Qin Huizhi completely sank in his desire for power and became a man who had neither propriety, justice, shame, nor family justice. He became a troublemaker in the unclear environment of the Qi Dynasty, which made the entire Qi Dynasty , and even the whole of China, is falling further towards the abyss.
Although Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, stood at the same crossroads, he still endured the humiliation and did not give up on himself because of his identity. Instead, he still tried every means to save this crumbling country.
After that, there was the prosperous era of Zhongxing during the Longxing Northern Expedition.
And history finally gave them an objective and fair evaluation.
The original power of Qin Hui was overwhelming, and he knew that he would be infamy for thousands of years after his death, so he tried every means to tamper with historical data, erase the achievements of General Han Fuyue's victory, and wanted to slander General Han as a deserter who had not achieved much results. ordinary generals; and he tampered with historical data wantonly, trying to deceive the world and steal his reputation.
But historical data may be tampered with, but no one can tamper with people's hearts.
Therefore, Qin Huizhi was first posthumously promoted to King Shen, with the posthumous title Zhongxian, but later he was deprived of the title of king, and his posthumous title was changed to Youchou. And he himself was cast into a kneeling statue, which will be infamy for thousands of years.
Although Li Hao, played by Chu Ge, was reputed as a powerful traitor in his own time, he was finally posthumously named Zhongxian after General Han Fuyue's efforts to rehabilitate him.
Later generations can also gradually recover from the clues in historical data his efforts to protect General Han Fuyue and preserve General Han's direct troops.
Chu Ge stretched out contentedly: "No regrets!"
To be honest, the second stage of this copy is still quite difficult for him.
From the very beginning when he reluctantly realized that Li Hao was Qin Huizhi, then when he tried to persuade the emperor to no avail, and finally when he forcibly broke the situation and completed the comeback, Chu Ge himself was quite satisfied with his performance.
And the most important thing is that he successfully passed the level without even using the function of summoning heroic spirits.
What is a true hardcore gamer? What is the benchmark for scribe players?
Chu Ge just wanted to put his hands on his hips and laugh three times.
However, considering my ability as a high-end player, I still have to be more reserved.
"I don't know about the other two lines. How are the players doing?"
Chu Ge couldn't help but be curious.
Although the line chosen by Chu Ge is the lowest in difficulty defined by the system, Chu Ge's gameplay is not simple at all.
If players put down their bottom line and follow Qin Huizhi's old path, then this line is indeed the least difficult, which is nothing to say.
But Chu Ge took another original route, which may be even more difficult than the general route.
I just don’t know how other players plan to clear the two lines of general and prince?
…
…
At this time, in the historical slice where Zhao Haiping was, Binglan City was already there.
On a high slope, Zhao Haiping, with only a few soldiers, was riding a war horse to explore the enemy's situation.
In the distance, smoke and dust billowed.
Those are the elite golden soldiers led by Wan Yansheng, and the war is about to break out.
"After the military training is complete, will the first battle be the Battle of Yancheng?
"It's straightforward enough."
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but sigh.
After entering the second stage of the trial fantasy, he has been immersed in training.
Li Hao, played by the Chu Ges, is fighting in the court, fighting wits and courage with the dog emperor, and he is training his troops;
Fan Cun, who plays the role of the prince, tried his best to stop the Jingkang Revolution, destroy the country of Xixia, and return to the side of the Qing Dynasty, but he was still training troops.
The practice made him feel a little dizzy.
Fortunately, with the guidance and help of General Deng, Zhao Haiping finally trained a powerful new army according to General Deng's military tactics.
However, what he didn't expect was that the first battle of this new army would be the biggest fierce battle between Qi and Jin: the victory of Yancheng.
At this time, the shadow of General Deng Yuanjing was also riding a war horse, standing beside Zhao Haiping.
"Because the great victory of Yancheng can be said to be a key battle that determines the outcome of the world in one battle.
"Other small battles are of no use."
Zhao Haiping nodded and made preparations in his heart.
The reason why the Great Victory of Yancheng is the most famous battle of General Han Fuyue is not because the lost ground was recovered in this battle, nor because this battle achieved a certain strategic purpose, but because this battle directly won with less. If there are too many, the main force of the Jin people will be defeated.
Great military strategists throughout the ages are often surprisingly consistent on two points.
The first is to be good at using guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, proactively find your own fighting opportunities, and not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place.
The second is to dare to fight a war of annihilation with the goal of wiping out the enemy's effective forces.
This is an irrefutable truth on the battlefield between Qi and Jin.
After this period of time, Zhao Haiping's understanding of the Jin people has reached a very high level.
Naturally, like General Han Fuyue in history, he accurately saw the fate of the Jin people.
And this destiny is that there are few people!
At the beginning, the Jurchen tribe only had more than 2,500 people. After they raised their troops, they fought and won consecutively. In just ten years, they completely annihilated the overlord with millions of armors at that time. Thousands of miles of land has established a vast and vast empire.
In the beginning, there were often myths about thousands of Jurchens defeating an enemy army of more than 100,000 soldiers.
And "The Jurchens are not equal to ten thousand, but they are invincible" has become a shocking slogan.
But the greatest destiny of the Jin people has always been the lack of people.
And this also laid the foundation for the fall of the Jin Kingdom in the future.
Although the Kingdom of Jin was vast in territory, its ethnic composition was very complex. Among them, the only ones with real combat effectiveness and privileges are the native Jin people, especially the military nobles among the Jin people. This man, also known as Meng'an Mouke, is the absolute backbone of the Jin Kingdom.
The reason why Meng'an Mouke could maintain such a strong combat effectiveness in the early days was because they were a class of Jin people who could directly benefit from the war. Every time you capture land, gold and silver, you can share them as much as you want, so your will to fight is very high.
As long as you achieve military merit in the war, you can seal a large piece of land and reach the sky in one step.
However, the Jin people have always had very low political intelligence. During their rule, other ethnic groups basically lived as slaves.
The Jin people not only burned, killed, and plundered when they went south to the Qi Dynasty, but also treated the people of the Qi Dynasty as pigs and dogs and slaughtered them at will. Various other ethnic groups in the Jin Kingdom also suffered great oppression.
Therefore, in history, after General Han Fuyue achieved a great victory, war broke out within the Jin Kingdom, and all oppressed ethnic groups also rose up in resistance.
As for later, when Wanyan Hailing wanted to reform, or later when the Northern Barbarians rose up and destroyed the Jin Dynasty, it was because these few military nobles enjoyed the greatest benefits, but they quickly became corrupted and lost their combat effectiveness as a generation aged.
The fall of the Jin Kingdom is not surprising.
…
Only after understanding this can we understand why the victory in Yancheng was so important.
Because in this battle, General Han Fuyue severely damaged the Jin people's elite cavalry, Tiefutu and Kaizima, and almost wiped them out in one battle.
The other elite troops of the Jin people were basically killed in large numbers.
To the point that Wanyan Sheng sighed sadly: "Since we raised our troops on the sea, we have been victorious with this, but now we are defeated!"
In other words, these Tiefu Tu and Guaizima killed in the great victory of Licheng were all the elites of the Jin people's fierce and powerful forces, and they were the fundamental force for maintaining their rule.
And once these people died, it meant that the entire pillars of the Jin Dynasty were torn down, and the building would shake in an instant.
This is why after the unjust death of General Han Fuyue, the Jin people really signed a peace agreement with the Qi Dynasty and stopped attacking. Instead of taking this opportunity to destroy Qi again, they prepared for more than ten years before Wanyan Hailing He led his army southward again.
The reason is that the Jin people suffered heavy losses in this battle and were indeed unable to fight again.
Now, although the copy does not clearly indicate the victory goal at this stage, in Zhao Haiping's view, it is all obvious.
That is: kill the enemy's effective forces as much as possible and recreate a great victory in Yancheng!
…
This great victory at Yancheng commanded by Zhao Haiping was not very different from the real great victory at Yancheng in history.
After all, with General Deng Yuanjing, a famous general throughout the ages, running the army, heroes always see the same thing.
Wanyan Sheng first spied out that the core of the Qi army led by Zhao Haiping was stationed in Lincheng, while other troops were scattered around the surrounding areas, leaving the core empty, so he decided to personally lead 15,000 elite cavalry and 100,000 infantry to attack Lincheng. City, the command center of the Qi army must be eliminated in one fell swoop with a beheading operation.
If it succeeds, then the rest of the Qi army will lose their command and will definitely collapse without a fight.
But this time, it hit the mark.
Since it is Wan Yansheng's beheading operation, it means that he will break into the Qi army's formation at all costs. If he cannot attack for a long time and the various units of the Qi army quickly support him, his deep and lonely army will be destroyed. Danger.
Therefore, for both sides, this battle became a duel between spears and shields.
For Wan Yansheng, he wanted to use the iron pagoda and the kidnapping horse to break through the military formation of Zhao Haiping's soldiers at all costs and complete the beheading operation; while for Zhao Haiping, he wanted to command his elite soldiers regardless of cost. Withstand it at all costs and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
At this point, both sides have gains and losses.
For Wan Yansheng, on the premise that he had to complete the beheading operation, it meant that he had to give up the mobility of the cavalry and could no longer make detours as guerrillas. Instead, he had to press Jin Gui's heavy cavalry up one after another;
But at the same time, since he is the one who takes the initiative and has superior strength, this is indeed a perfect opportunity for him.
It’s no wonder that history will evaluate him: He always makes the right strategic decisions at the right time and the right place, but every time he fights, he always goes in the opposite direction due to execution reasons and becomes a "famous general quality inspection machine." .
For Zhao Haiping, his troops were at a disadvantage at this time, and a large number of elite infantry lacked room to move.
But since Wan Yansheng had to break through his military formation at all costs, then as long as he could hold on to his position desperately, he would have won half the battle.
…
The war begins.
This army, which has been specially trained by General Deng, has become a force that obeys orders and prohibits them. They dare not disobey orders, and they feel as comfortable as using their arms and fingers.
The various arrangements made specifically for the Jin cavalry, such as targeted training for horseback, spear, and axe, also had a miraculous effect.
Wanyan Sheng first used his cavalry to outflank the two flanks, trying to cut down the Qi army's heavy infantry formation like peeling an onion layer by layer. However, Zhao Haiping immediately ordered his cavalry to go into battle and fight with the kaizi horses.
These elite cavalry can still have the upper hand in battles with the Jin's kidnapper horses.
Wan Yansheng finally couldn't calm down, so he ordered Tiefu Tu to charge directly into the Qi army's heavy infantry formation.
Zhao Haiping ordered these heavy infantry to block the iron pagoda's attack with horses and spears, and then sent out specialized elite heavy infantry, each armed with shields, axes, mazha knives, etc., to behead the iron pagoda. .
These elite infantrymen holding their shields high looked like they were in training. They lowered their heads to protect their heads and faces with thick shields. Then they only moved forward and were not allowed to retreat. They could only lower their heads and not raise their heads.
They used their shields to block the iron pagoda, which had been blocked by horses and spears and whose impact was reduced, and then chopped off the horse's legs one after another.
After these iron pagodas fell off their horses, soldiers with spears flew their helmets away, and then soldiers with big axes came forward to behead them.
This battle lasted for several hours, and the subsequent battle lasted for another six days.
The Qi army fought successively and successfully. Wan Yansheng's 100,000-strong army was defeated and had to retreat.
…
The white fog in Zhao Haiping's vision gradually dissipated.
After the great victory in Yancheng, the scene in front of him changed rapidly. Looking back, he was already in Zhuxian Town.
"General!
"You will be outside, and you will not accept your orders!"
In front of Zhao Haiping, many generals wearing armor were kneeling.
In his hands, there was an edict asking his master to return to the court, and a gold-lettered plaque placed aside.
Seeing that Zhao Haiping, the commander-in-chief, did not speak, these generals became more eager and tried to persuade him one after another.
"General! Just a few days ago, we just defeated Wan Yansheng's 100,000-strong army! The great victory in Yancheng and the great victory in Zhuxian Town. After successive battles, the Jin soldiers were already frightened. Although they may not be able to attack Huanglong directly if they advance at this time, , but regaining the old land in the north is already a certainty!"
"Yes, General, do you still remember the scene when the army arrived at Zhuxian Town? The people lined the streets to welcome it. Even the women and children in the town ate pots of soup to welcome the king's army. But General, if you go further north, there The people are also my people in Daqi!"
"The Jin people have become discouraged. Heroes from Hebei and Hedong have joined forces. The general's ingenious plan to connect Heshuo has worked. If we can't make a big move at this time and let the Jin people pacify the rebels in the rear, recuperate and then turn south, then we will Qi is in danger!"
"General, advance the troops!"
Zhao Haiping's expression was calm. In fact, when he entered the second stage and began to play this identity, he had already expected this scene to happen.
"I have already expressed my opposition to the official decision to deal with the teacher.
"'All the troops of the Qikan Jin captives gathered in Tokyo. After repeated defeats, their spirits were depressed, and they were shocked both inside and outside. Those who heard about the spies found that the captives wanted to abandon their baggage and cross the river quickly. Now the heroes are facing the wind, the soldiers are using their lives, and the weather and personnel are strong. The weakness has been seen, the success is about to be completed, the time will not come, and the opportunity will be missed easily. I have been familiar with the materials day and night, but your Majesty has planned it. 'All this has been written in the memorial."
The generals hurriedly said: "Then general, why are you hesitating? It's just an edict, and there is no harm in disobeying it once.
"Perhaps the officials will wake up later?"
Zhao Haiping shook his head: "There won't be just one edict."
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, another long shout came from outside the military camp: "Imperial decree..."
The postman came quickly and looked at Zhao Haiping with admiration, but in his hands he held a red lacquer gold plate and an imperial edict, but Zhao Haiping instantly understood the content.
"My lord, accept the order."
Zhao Haiping received the imperial edict, and sure enough, there was another strict order ordering him to immediately withdraw his troops and return to the Privy Council for discussion.
Within one day, dozens of imperial edicts and gold-lettered plaques were delivered one after another.
The language in the imperial edict became more and more intense, with words such as "deceiving the emperor" and "treason" appearing frequently.
The expressions of the generals in the army finally gradually turned cold.
It is possible to disobey an imperial edict by saying, "The general is outside, and the emperor's orders will be ignored." However, if you continue to disobey the edict twelve times in a row, and the wording is extremely strict, wouldn't it be tantamount to treason if you continue to disobey the edict?
No one dared to persuade Zhao Haiping to disobey the decree.
Because everyone knows that the consequences of doing so are too heavy and no one can afford it.
Zhao Haiping waved his hand: "You all should leave, I want to think carefully."
The generals looked at each other with unwilling expressions on their faces, but in the end, they quietly exited the Chinese army's tent.
At this time, only the heroes of General Zhao Haiping and General Deng Yuanjing were left in the huge Chinese army tent.
Zhao Haiping flipped the imperial edict in his hand at random: "It seems... I can only retreat?"
General Deng Yuanjing was silent for a moment: "It seems... there is no other way.
"The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. The army on this road is not your private army, and the food, grass and baggage all depend on the rear supplies.
"If you refuse to obey the edict, it is tantamount to treason. The court can naturally cut off your supply of food and grass. When the time comes, this big army will have to eat horse chews. Where will they find military food?
"Capitalize the people? Or make peace with the Jin people? I'm afraid these are completely unfeasible options.
"When the time comes, the imperial court will issue another edict accusing you of treason, which will cause the morale of the army to collapse, and the other Qi and Jin armies will attack from both sides...
"It will only lead to a more tragic end."
Zhao Haiping sighed silently: "It seems that General Han Fuyue was in the same situation back then.
"It's just that General Han Fuyue at that time did not guess that Emperor Dog and Qin Huizhi would be so crazy and actually kill him.
"And if I return to the court, although I will have to go to the old land where General Han Fuyue was unjustly killed, I should be able to pass this trial illusion directly."
General Deng Yuanjing said nothing.
At that time, he defeated the bandits in the south and defended the barbarians in the north, but he was never defeated. But once there is a change in the DPRK, even as a famous general, he can only die in depression.
So he felt powerless in this situation.
This is no longer something that can be solved by the art of war.
However, Zhao Haiping directly threw the edict on the ground and stepped on it.
"At that time, General Han Fuyue did not guess that the Dog Emperor and Qin Huizhi would be so shameless and would kill him unjustly even if they broke political rules. It can only be said that General Han's daring loyalty is even more depressing.
"But if I still follow General Han's old path, how can I comfort his spirit in heaven?
"Even if I fail this trial, I will catch the Dog Emperor and Qin Huizhi and cut them into pieces!"
General Deng Yuanjing was silent for a moment: "But... there is no logistical supplies and no military morale available. After all,..."
Zhao Haiping looked at him: "General Deng, the situation at this time is different from that of your era.
"In your era, the great dynasty was still prosperous and the world was unified. Even if you were a famous general at that time, it would be impossible to go against the will of heaven.
“But these times are different.
"Because before that, there was a living example."
General Deng Yuanjing was a little stunned: "Who?"
Zhao Haiping said coldly: "The founding emperor of the Jin people, Jin Taizu!
"The Jin people raised an army with only 2,500 cavalry, but in just ten years, they were able to conquer everything and defeat them. They beat two behemoths to the ground and achieved countless mythical achievements.
"Indeed, if I refuse to obey the order at this time, the army will inevitably fall apart and the imperial court will cut off my food and salary.
"But so what? Even if there are only 2,500 people left to follow me, so what?"
"Why do I have to consider the mass base, logistics supplies, political situation, and the number of troops when I fight a war, while the Jin people can rush forward without logistics, territory, or popular support to complete the great cause of swallowing up the world?
"Don't the Jin people need to face logistical problems? Can they march by drinking wind and eat by digging in the soil? They can fight however they want?
“If the problem can’t trap them, why can it trap me?
"Is it possible that the Jin people who slaughtered the city at every turn were destined to die? And I have built a powerful army that can transcend generations and "will not tear down houses to death, starve to death without plundering", is it because God is not blessing me?
"What's more, what about the elite Jin people who are said to be 'invincible'?
"It's just my defeated general! He was beaten until he was running around!
"The Dog Emperor wants to collude with the Jin people to harm me?
"Oh, I should give him a message.
"I am the reincarnation of General Han Fuyue, and I am assisted by General Deng. The Golden Man and the Dog Emperor are just a bunch of clowns...
"You all come together, I have nothing to fear!"
