Chapter 49 bench player lies

Watching the six counties of Xiangyang being snatched by Yue Fei, Liu Yu was ashamed and annoyed, not reconciled! In order to instigate his master Wu Qimai to stand up and help him regain his position, Liu Yu made up a lie: I have a subordinate named Xu Wen, who used to be the guard of Mingzhou in the Song Dynasty.Xu Wen said that Lord Song had 200 large boats in the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, and that was where Lord Song got on the boat when he entered the sea.After crossing the Qiantang River, entering Yuezhou, and not far from Dinghaikou in Mingzhou, there is Changguo County, which is the base camp where Song people gathered boats to store grain.As long as our army departs from Mizhou, it will take at least four or five days, and as many as eight or nine days, to reach Changguo County. If we first intercept the grain ship from Changguo County, we can go straight from Mingzhou to the mouth of the Qiantang River to seize the Royal Ship of the Song Dynasty , At that time, it will be easy to pacify Jiangnan.

Taking Changguo County from Mizhou, taking Hangzhou from Changguo County, grabbing food and ships, destroying Song Dynasty in Pingnan, at least four or five days, as many as eight or nine days... There is no doubt that this is a very tempting action plan! Many gold people who are greedy by nature were teased so that their minds were turbulent and ready to move. Especially Nianhan. This man has always regarded Liu Yu as his pawn, seeing him being bullied by Yue Fei, he has long hated him, and now he heard what Liu Yu said, and immediately stood up, "Persevere and believe that he can be defeated", firmly support Send troops to attack Song Dynasty.

Wu Shu, who had been dissatisfied with Nianhan for a long time, deliberately sang the opposite, repeatedly waving a pair of big hands and said: "Southerners use boats like horses. Let's go, aren't we asking for trouble?" Nianhan was furious, and reprimanded: "Say such a thing, you obviously want to be lazy!" Wu Shu pouted his neck and argued with a red face: "The terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is low and humid, which is not conducive to cavalry galloping. Now the soldiers and horses are all in distress, and there is insufficient food and grass. I am afraid that it will be futile to force the troops." A group of people were fighting in the court hall.

In fact, no matter whether it is Nianhan or Wushu, no matter how fierce the competition is, it is useless, the right to speak is in Wu Qimai's hands.Liu Yu understands this truth better than anyone else.Jin Guo suffered a disastrous defeat at Xianrenguan, and his vitality was seriously injured. Wu Qimai looked at the scene in the audience and fell silent. In the evening, Liu Yu sent someone to tell Wu Qimai in private: "The people of Song Dynasty have moved away from Tokyo and have moved five times in a row. Every time they moved, they lost a lot of land. Now we only need to use 40,000 to 50,000 troops to attack from the Lianghuai River and attack the Huaihe River. If they chase south for five hundred miles, their land of Wu and Yue will definitely not be guaranteed, and we will not seek to be complacent about the property and population.” To the invaders, there is no reason to refuse to win the wealth of the vast land in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wu’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down. Rolled a few times and swallowed a few times.It can be seen that he was persuaded.

In order to win this heart-warming reward, Wu Qimai held a special imperial meeting the next day, and proposed that since the western battlefield in Sichuan and Shanxi is unfavorable, and Xiangyang in the middle road has just been lost, it is time to open up the eastern battlefield, and to Huainan East and West Roads in the east attacked. Then without any explanation, Eriduo was arranged as the left deputy marshal, and the right supervisor of the marshal Talan was the right deputy marshal, with 50,000 troops to support Liu Yu.Among them, You Du Jian Wu Shu is the striker. Wushu quit and shouted: "Why me?"

Wu Qimai wondered: "Why can't it be you? You once led troops across the Yangtze River and went to the south of the Yangtze River, so you are familiar with the geographical environment." Wushu fainted! Liu Yu was full of enthusiasm, and he appointed his eldest son Liu Lin as the Minister of the Eastern and Western Dao Xingtai, and played the slogan "Go straight to the base, and make sure that the Liuhe is one", and planned to attack Hefei from Shunchang, attack Liyang, and pass through Caishiji. Jiang, to cooperate with the Jin people to invade the south. Li Cheng, the envoy of the Puppet Qi Supervisor Army, was really frightened by Yue Fei, and tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, your marching route...don't you worry that Yue Fei will go out of Xiangyang and stab us in the back? In my opinion, it is better to attack Sizhou directly from Tokyo, cross the Huai River, guard Xuyi, and take advantage of its resources, and then divide the troops to Chuzhou, Hezhou, and Yangzhou to control the boats. Attack Guazhou into Jingkou, and join forces to attack Lin'an after crossing the river." Liu Yu was no fool, and felt that a fierce man like Yue Fei couldn't be provoked, so he accepted his suggestion and agreed to take a detour.

The news that the Jin and Qi coalition forces were going to invade the Huaihe River on a large scale spread in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty, "the whole court was shocked". All the ministers advised Zhao Gou to "separate all the divisions" and run away quickly.Amidst the sound of fleeing, a person shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop!" This person is Zhao Ding, the privy envoy. He said to Zhao Gou, don't run away in a hurry. Now that our army has just captured Xiangyang and its morale is high, it is better to fight with them. If you don't win the battle, you won't be able to run away again. Night.Then, he analyzed in detail that now the imperial court has deployed a large number of troops in the Jianghuai area. Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong are guarding Huaixi and Huaidong respectively. With more than ten thousand, it is not necessarily lost to the enemy.With these words, everyone's confidence began to strengthen, and people's hearts gradually became more stable.

Zhang Jun, who had always feared the enemy like a tiger, was also told that his blood boiled, and he waved his arms in a daze and shouted: "Where can we go? The current situation is that there is no retreat. Your Majesty, please hurry up and gather all the troops from all over the world to defend Pingjiang. " Zhang Jun, who has always been known for his timidity, is still like this. Zhao Gou was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Because the second sage is in the hands of the enemy, the soul has suffered for a long time. The Jin people have always refused to pay attention, and now they want to use troops against us, I will personally lead the six armies, and face a decisive battle near the river."

Zhao Ding urged while the iron was hot: "Years of shrinking and forbearance have bred the enemy's arrogance. If the emperor can really conquer in person, all the generals will naturally be brave, and success is in sight." However, what is surprising is that before the Jin army crossed the river, the cowardly Liu Guangshi immediately fled and hid in Jiankang Mansion, handing over the entire Huaixi line of defense. Han Shizhong also returned from Chengzhou (now Gaoyou City, Jiangsu) In Zhenjiang, the entire Huaidong defense line is not guarded by a single soldier.Zhang Jun, who was full of pride before, said that because he accidentally injured his arm while riding a horse, he refused to cross the river desperately.

These bastards! Zhao Gou is completely petrified!what to do?what to do?Really anxious! At the critical moment, someone supported Zhao Gou again. This person is Li Gang, who had a brief career as a prime minister and was a bachelor of Guanwendian at that time. Because of his different political views, Zhao Gou sent him directly to the bench to retire, except for letting him show his face for a while when the small court was first established.Now, Li Gang has spoken.He said: "In the past, the Jin people traveled south with the intention of invading and plundering. Once they captured people and treasures, they would definitely return them in the summer. This time Liu Yu crossed the south of the Yangtze River, and he must seek a separate regime. The court must not retreat. In view of the current situation , There are three countermeasures, upper, middle and lower."

"Three countermeasures?" Zhao Gou turned his head, his eyes blank. Li Gang cleared his throat, and said: "Yue Fei has made great contributions to Xianghan, and his reputation has grown. Liu Yu has come all over his nest, and his territory must be empty. If the emperor gives Yue Fei an order, let him take this rare opportunity to lead the whole country." The army goes straight into Xiangyang, unexpectedly, the thunder strikes directly, and the puppet is up and down. It must be shocking, and we will not be able to save ourselves. Let's chase after it from behind. Hey, not only can it contain the soldiers of the southern herdsmen, but it is also a sign of restoring the Central Plains. Your Majesty, this is the first step. The best policy." Zhao Gou was a little disappointed with this "top policy", now that the Jianghuai Army is in an emergency situation, and the palace is exposed to the enemy's front, how could Yue Fei, the main team member, not come to the rescue as soon as possible? Li Gang continued to talk eloquently: "As for the middle strategy, the emperor should give up the great opportunity to attack the puppet Qi's lair, gather all the troops from the upper reaches and go down the river, with golden flags and golden drums, facing each other thousands of miles away. Don’t dare to cross south easily! When the time comes, you can order capable generals to enter the key points in Huainan, set up a surprise attack, and cut off their food roads. Liu Yu will definitely flee without a fight.” To be honest, in Zhao Gou’s view, the best policy is to return Not as good as Zhongce! Li Gang seemed to have seen through Zhao Gou's thoughts, and added: "Although the central policy can preserve the southeast, it cannot recover the Central Plains..." Zhao Gou kept a dark face and remained silent. Li Gang pondered for a while, then slowly said: "The move of the middle strategy is too big, and the troops from all walks of life will be mobilized to shake the whole country. The worst strategy is the easiest and most risky. Of course, it is also the most risky. Follow the plan and lead one or two generals to directly destroy the enemy's formation. When our soldiers learn that the emperor is leading the army, they must be excited and work hard. This battle will definitely win. It's just... just... I'm worried that the emperor will go to the front line and give orders from the rear If it doesn’t work, the enemy will have a chance to counterattack, and the counties and states will be defeated at that time, and the consequences will be unimaginable.” It’s risky enough! Zhao Gou finally adopted the middle strategy: "Gather all the troops, Chen Bing on the river, and try our best to prevent the enemy from crossing the river." That night, having trouble sleeping and eating, he wrote to Yue Fei, an "excellent firefighter", ordering him to gather more than 30,000 troops to cross the river into Huaixi, and rush to rescue his 200,000 great royal guards. In the letter, he said: "Recently, the report on the Huai River is urgent. I am very worried about it. I have lowered my command and supervised the whole army to go east. You have always worried about the country and love the king. You can lead the way today and come here at the same time. I If you don't arrive, you will never feel at ease, and you should know about it." Yue Fei received the letter and quickly ordered Xu Qing and Niu Gao to lead more than 2,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and himself, Li Shan and other generals led a large army as successors to rush to the aid of Huaixi.
