Zhao Kai was a little unable to react and asked in confusion: "How do you interpret this?"
??????????????????????????Isn¡¯t what I said obvious enough? Li Qi chuckled: "Wei Chen is saying that our army actually broke through the Huanglong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom a few days ago." He was also afraid that Zhao Kai would think that he was hearing hallucinations, so he specially emphasized "Huanglong Mansion" "These three words.
"What?"
Zhao Kai exclaimed and said, "How is this possible?"
As he said that, he was suddenly startled, "Could it be that ¡ª¡ª are you talking about Yue Fei?"
You are quick to respond. Li Qi nodded with a smile and said: "News came from Laizhou. It turned out that Yue Fei's army detoured from the grassland back to Huanglong Mansion in the Jin Kingdom, and captured Huanglong Mansion in one fell swoop, burning all the grain and grass they had stored for ten years. Killed more than a hundred people who were the founders of the Jin Kingdom. In addition, haven't we been curious before this, why the reinforcements of the Jin Army have not arrived yet? That is because they went to round up Yue Fei, and when Yue Fei attacked Huanglong Mansion, Goryeo We misjudged the current situation and thought we had already reached Huanglong Mansion, so we declared war on Jin and used the whole country to cross the Yalu River, thus relieving the pressure on the front line."
Li Qi just said it very simply, it couldn't be simpler, but Zhao Kai was still stunned for a long time, "You¡ª¡ªwhat you said is true?" He felt as if he was listening to a story.
Even if it is a story, it is too exaggerated.
Li Qi nodded and said, "It's absolutely true."
Zhao Kai burst out laughing suddenly, laughed for a long time, waved his fist and said: "Yue Fei's battle was so beautiful, well done, well done, it's so relieved." He danced excitedly, but he was Knowing the significance of Huanglong Mansion to the Kingdom of Jin, the significance of being able to capture Huanglong Mansion is not the food and grass, but more of a psychological advantage.
Li Qi was so excited to see Zhao Kai. Suddenly he said with a smile but not a smile: "Your Majesty, didn't you say you wanted to kill Yue Fei a few days ago? Why are you now¡ª¡ªhaha."
This guy is really annoying. Zhao Kai coughed lightly and said, "I didn't know the situation at that time. Did I say something wrong at that time?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "The emperor is not wrong, and the Zongzhifu also feels that the emperor is not wrong, so he does not dare to give up. He believes that although Yue Fei has made extraordinary achievements, at the same time, Yue Fei also seriously violated military discipline and did not follow the plan of the General Staff. Act. Once the army was in danger, it should be dealt with according to military law and must not be tolerated. Otherwise, what is the prestige of the General Staff?"
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly. He could understand Zongze very well. Yue Fei left like that, and more than half of the mobile forces in the Yanyun area were lost, which made Zongze helpless. His hair had turned a lot gray. Although Zongze was still talking to Yue Fei at that time, he was just trying to comfort Zhao Kai. Everyone knew that Zongze was very blamed for Yue Fei. Although he had won a big victory now, it didn't mean that Zongze would let it go. After thinking for a while, he asked Li Qi with an embarrassed look on his face: "What do you think?"
Li Qi crossed his arms. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty should know what Wei Chen advocated on the first day he took office, right?"
Of course Zhao Kai knew that Li Qi would not lead troops to fight due to military discipline. He also didn't know how to drill the army. His greatest contribution to the Song Army was to improve the basic literacy of the soldiers. Simply put, it was military discipline. Otherwise, where would this trouble come from? It was because of this military discipline that Li Qi Under the command of the army, no one dared to disobey his orders, otherwise they would die miserably. The reason why the Song army's combat effectiveness has improved so much is due to military discipline. In the past, the Song army ran away immediately when seeing the Jin army, so what Li Qi meant was It's very obvious, Zhao Kai said: "Do you also think Yue Fei should be punished with military law?"
Li Qi nodded, and sighed again: "Actually, I understand why Yue Fei did this. Considering the situation at that time, if he chose to return for reinforcements, he might be ambushed by Wanyan Zonghan halfway. This is very It was dangerous. Secondly, he had to go around from the Hetao area to Shuozhou, and then back to Yunzhou from Shuozhou. In this way, he could only follow Wanyan Zonghan, and it would only be a temporary reprieve for the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Jin. We can still rescue Yunzhou without any pressure. If the reinforcements continue, we don't know how long or how long the fight will last. We can only put pressure on the rear of the Jin army, slow down their reinforcements, and cut off their food and grass. Destroy Yunzhou's army as quickly as possible.
¡°And I can also understand why Yue Fei didn¡¯t tell the truth at that time? This is very simple, because Yue Fei himself didn¡¯t know whether he could succeed. If he had told us at that time, we would have had illusions about him and misjudged the situation, so we didn¡¯t tell him. Of course, this is just my estimate. The specifics are You still have to ask Yue Fei to find out. "
At this point, he paused and changed the topic: "But even so, it is not a reason for him to violate military orders. If everyone follows suit in the future, then our Song army will have no military discipline to speak of, so the ministers will also AgreeZong Zhifu said that this phenomenon must not be tolerated and Yue Fei must be punished. "
"I very much agree with this. There is no rule without rules, but if it is handled according to military law, it would be a bit too heavy. I don't want to lose such a good general, and after all, Yue Fei came back with great achievements."
Zhao Kai was a little hesitant, because this military punishment was punishable by death. During the expedition, both he and Zongze had repeatedly mentioned that every commander must strictly implement the strategic plan of the General Staff, otherwise, Kill without mercy.
"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."
Of course, Li Qi would not agree with killing Yue Fei just like that. Wouldn't that mean he cut off his arm? Yue Fei could ask the person who took over the flag from Zong Ze, and said: "And this must be a heavy punishment." , setting a very good tone, so Wei Chen suggested that Yue Fei be removed from all official positions and let him retire and return to his hometown."
"ah?"
Zhao Kai was surprised and said: "Removed from all official positions?"
"What's the difference between this and killing Yue Fei?"
Li Qi nodded and smiled again: "Your Majesty, now that the war is over, the focus of the next two or three years will still be domestic development. Therefore, even if Yue Fei is in office during this period, there will not be much use for him. When the time comes that Yue Fei is needed, When the time comes, just use him again. Isn¡¯t this length of time just a word from the emperor? I believe Yue Fei will also understand the emperor¡¯s intention.¡±
Zhao Kai hesitated and said, "Do you really think it is necessary to do this?"
Li Qi nodded.
Zhao Kai frowned slightly and said: "But have you ever thought about it, if everything is too rigid and you just follow orders, this will actually make the general who leads the army hamstrung. Lack of agility and creativity, in fact, you should understand me , I am not in a low position, I will be outside, and I will not accept your order."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the General Staff only formulates strategies and strategic purposes. Specific tactics are set by the generals based on the situation at that time. But Yue Fei is different. Yue Fei completely ignores his strategic tasks. This is obvious. Disobedience of orders, if not severely punished. Why obey the crowd, but Yue Fei will bear the crime. The soldiers around him are not wrong, because they have to obey Yue Fei's orders. Not only that, they also performed extraordinary feats, so The court must clearly distinguish rewards and punishments, punish Yue Fei severely, and reward the soldiers around him heavily."
This is very good. Zhao Kai hummed. Said: "Zongze also means this?"
Li Qi nodded.
Zhao Kai said: "Since I made Zongze the Grand Marshal in the first place, the rewards and punishments will naturally be decided by him. Let Zongze handle this matter. By the way, what about your bad news?"
Li Qi said oh. Said: "There is news from Wu Jie. It turns out that he did not come with the Zhenxi Army, but with the Uighur soldiers. Now the Gaochang Uighurs have surrendered to our Song Dynasty¡ª¡ª"
????????????????????????????????? Zhao Kai said: "This is a good thing, how can it be bad news?"
Li Qi sighed and said: "This is a good thing. But the emperor must not forget that now the Gaochang Uighurs still occupy Sha, Gua and other places, and these two states were originally Xixia. How should this account be settled?"
Zhao Kai squinted his eyes and said with a hint of sadness: "Isn't this a troublesome thing?"
After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Li Qi, "Are you planning something else?"
Li Qi showed a smirk and said: "Each other, each other."
After saying that, both of them laughed.
?¡

"Whoever catches Wanyan Zongwang will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of land."
This veteran Li Dingbian is also an old man. He is leading an army on the northwest grassland of Hohhot, galloping on his horse and roaring furiously. Not far in front of them, there was a remnant of the troops, also running at full speed.
In the eyes of today's party members, Wanyan Zongwang is really worth this price, or even higher. A thousand taels is nothing, a thousand catties will do.
When Li Dingbian's army caught up with Wanyan Zongwang's remaining troops, they pursued and fought fiercely. In fact, Li Dingbian had another idea, which was to force Wanyan Zongwang into Linhuang Mansion and take the opportunity to capture Linhuang Mansion.
But dreams are always beautiful, reality is always cruel, and Li Dingbian is heading towards the abyss step by step.
"Uh¡ª¡ª! Stop, everyone, stop."
After chasing for an hour, Li Dingbian suddenly tightened the reins and the horse neighed. He looked around and saw that the road was getting narrower and narrower, surrounded by steep stone walls. He couldn't help being startled, and fear gradually gathered in his eyes.
This is the Ghost Valley. It is a very deceptive valley. The southern entrance is extremely wide. You can¡¯t even tell if you look at it from a distance.?This is a valley, and I thought it was a highway, but the further inside, the narrower the road becomes, and the north exit can only allow one car and one person to pass side by side.
Li Dingbian had never been here before. When he was chasing, he thought this was the road leading to Linhuang Mansion, so he rashly led the army to rush in. However, when he came to the valley, he realized that something was wrong. After all, he was experienced. When he looked at the terrain, he saw that it was very suitable for an ambush, and it was quiet all around. He felt bad about it, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head and said, "Don't chase them yet, let's get out of the valley."
He did not dare to say that he had fallen into a trap, for fear of disturbing the morale of the army.
But this Ghost Valley is famous for being easy to get in and difficult to get out. Before he finished speaking, there were killing sounds from all directions, shaking the earth, and dozens of trains suddenly appeared at the south entrance, blocking the intersection. It was so tight that the raging fire shot straight into the sky. It was probably as high as two feet high. It was simply a wall of fire. In the eyes of the Dangxiang people, it was like a gate of hell. There was no one guarding the exit, but at that narrow intersection, Wanyan Zongwang randomly sent ten The swordsmen and axemen are ambushing there, and even if there are tens of thousands of people, you still can't rush out.
On the stone wall to the north, a battle flag bearing countless honors suddenly stood up, fluttering in the wind, shaking and making a snapping sound.
This battle flag was very familiar to the Dangxiang people. It was Wanyan Zongwang's commanding flag. For a moment, the Dangxiang army was panicked and their morale was in chaos because Wanyan Zongwang had left too many shadows on their Dangxiang people.
With so many people nestled in this narrow valley, Li Dingbian was shouting at the top of his lungs. No one paid any attention to him, let alone people. The sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground could cover up Li Dingbian's screams.
Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, countless black shadows were cast from all directions in the valley.
The party members were already frightened, and they waved their weapons one after another, but after blocking them, they found that what the enemy was throwing was not arrows, but dry grass and dry wood.
When Li Ding saw these dead trees and hay, his face turned purple and he was sweating coldly. The white beard was trembling. If the opponent fired rockets again, they would really be burned alive.
But as soon as this idea came to mind, the Jurchen crossbowman standing on the stone wall had already raised the rocket.
At this point, it can be said that as soon as this rocket is fired, Li Dingbian's army will be completely wiped out, unless he is as lucky as Sima Yi and it suddenly starts raining heavily. But now the sky is cloudless. When the dark clouds come, I'm afraid they will all become mummies.
Seeing that the last elite of the party was about to face a desperate situation, a wooden cart suddenly rolled out from the hillside. It stopped under Wanyan Zongwang's flag. Sitting in the car was an old man with white hair, only occasionally black. The lips are dry, the face is pale, and the eyebrows are drooped. His eyes were dull, but his right hand still held an arrow without an arrowhead.
This person is none other than Wanyan Zongwang, and the person pushing the cart is none other than his fourth brother Wanyan Zongbi.
"Second brother, as long as you give the order, this will be the grave of their party members."
Wanyan Zongbi looked coldly at the dense crowd of figures below, a murderous look flashing in his eyes.
Wanyan Zongwang said nothing and slowly raised his left hand. When the soldiers saw that the boss was about to give the command, they immediately entered a state of readiness. When Li Dingbian saw it, he almost had a heart attack. Life and death were at stake. .
After a while, Wanyan Zongwang suddenly waved his left hand and said in a very weak tone: "Let them go."
"ah¡ª¡ª?"
Wanyan Zongbi was startled, as if he didn't hear clearly, and asked quickly: "Second brother, what did you say?"
Wanyan Zongwang said: "I said let them leave."
Second brother must be sick and confused. Wanyan Zongbi couldn't help but think about it and said: "Second brother, they chased you in such a mess. Now that their lives are in our hands, why should we let them go."
Wanyan Zongwang's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled with difficulty, "Zong Bi, do you think that I am already sick and confused? Alas, in fact, I also want to kill him quickly, but we can't do that, because we The enemy is the Southern Dynasty, not Xixia. Now that the Southern Dynasty has captured the sixteen states of Yanyun, their strength has greatly increased. They can use the Great Wall to block our iron hoof from entering the pass, but we have nothing to stop them from invading our country, Dajin.
Moreover, this expedition failed miserably, and Zong Han and a group of generals were killed one after another. This is irreparable for our Kingdom of Jin. Now the national power of the Southern Dynasties has become stronger than ours. This is just like what we encountered when we first launched our army. Due to the difficulties, we must unite with Xixia to fight against the Southern Dynasty. Moreover, once we unite with Xixia, we can use their country to attack the Southern Dynasty. If we eliminate the main force of Xixia here, then it may be difficult for Xixia to recover.??, but we are unable to annex Xixia, so the Southern Dynasty will annex Xixia sooner or later. By then, our Dajin will undoubtedly be defeated, cough cough cough¡ª¡ªyou¡ª¡ªdo you understand? "
"I."
Wanyan Zongbi never expected that Wanyan Zongwang would plan to ambush the Dangxiang army here, not to eliminate them, but to sell them a favor and turn hostility into friendship.
Wanyan Zongwang ignored Wanyan Zongbi and said to the general beside him: "Tell the brothers to put down the weapons in their hands and let the party members leave here."
"Follow your orders."
The man immediately said: "We are all ordered to put down our weapons and let them leave."
This military order was like a mountain. Although the Jurchen warriors did not know what was going on, they did not dare to disobey and put down their weapons one after another. The soldiers blocking the intersection also withdrew to both sides, and a small opening was revealed in the wall of fire.
Even the Jurchens couldn't understand it, and the Dangxiang people were even more confused. Although Li Dingbian didn't understand what the situation was, any situation was better than their entire army being buried here. He immediately led his army to retreat, and tens of thousands of Dangxiang soldiers retreated. People poured out of the valley like a flood.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the backs of the party members who were escaping in a hurry, and said: "With this disaster, I believe they will not dare to commit crimes again." He added, "Zong Bi."
"Second brother, I'm here."
Wanyan Zongbi hurriedly knelt down.
Wanyan Zongwang didn't even have the strength to turn his head. He just glanced at him slightly and said, "Zong Bi, I can't do it anymore. In the future, our country, the Great Jin Kingdom, will depend entirely on you. You must remember one thing, don't underestimate anyone." An opponent, Zong Han and I made this unforgivable mistake. We must regard ourselves as weak, and we must unite with other weak people to fight against the strong ones, such as Goryeo, Xixia, Uighurs, and even the tribes on the Mongolian grasslands. Although these people have great hatred for us, we must hide our hatred for them and try our best to win over them. In this way, we still have a chance to defeat the Southern Dynasty. My father first isolated the Liao Kingdom before destroying the Liao Dynasty. Our country, like our father, we must learn to be patient and remember not to be impulsive."
Wanyan Zongbi hurriedly said: "Yes, second brother, I remember it."
Wanyan Zongwang added: "Also, your Majesty has passed away, Zong Han is dead, and I can't go back. Zong Pan has great ambitions. You must be careful. You can unite with Xi Yin, Zong Qian, and Zong Fu to intimidate Zong Pan, tell them not to do anything to hurt Dai Jin. As long as he abides by his duties, you can let him live. We Dai Jin can no longer afford to kill each other. We must work together and help him. Please manage our Golden Kingdom well."
Wanyan Zongbi nodded tearfully.
Wanyan Zongwang smiled slightly, looked down at the arrow in his hand, and murmured: "The Liao Dynasty named iron as its name, and chose it for its strength. Although iron and iron are strong, they will eventually become bad, but gold remains the same. Gold does not change and does not go bad, it does not change and does not go bad¡.¡±
??????????????????????? Snap!
I saw that the arrow in his hand was broken into two pieces, and Wanyan Zongwang finally lowered his head.
"Second brother (dutong) ."
After Wanyan Aguda, the second incarnation of Jin Jun finally passed away.
Throughout Wanyan Zongwang's life, although he held tens of millions of corpses in his hands and frightened his enemies, he also suffered two tragic defeats within ten years. Regardless of the merits and demerits, in the hearts of the Jurchens, Wanyan Zongwang was the leader of their nation. Hero, no one can erase this.
Although Li Qi's arrival allowed him to live for ten more years, in history, he left as a winner, but now he leaves as a loser. If he is allowed to choose, I believe he will definitely Choose to live less of these ten years.
With Wanyan Sheng, Zong Wang, and Zong Han leaving one after another, the Kingdom of Jin will also enter a period of reorganization. Whether it will regain its former glory or slump is unknown.
