After discovering that the attack route and scale of the Mongolian and Yuan army had exceeded the previous estimate, Zhao Bing personally drafted a letter explaining the situation, and sent it to Lin'an to Lu Xiufu to organize responses to new situations that might arise; the other was sent to the Pingjiang Jiangdong Commander Zhao Mengjin, asking him to re-deploy the changes in the enemy situation as soon as possible and allocate troops, so as to prevent the enemy from breaking through the predetermined line of defense and breaking into the hinterland.

At the same time, Zhao Bing summoned two officers above the Grand Battalion Division under Yangzhou City to discuss matters and discuss countermeasures on the current situation. However, it was still not concluded until the evening. The debate mainly focused on two points: to withdraw troops from Yangzhou and concentrate their efforts to completely wipe out the enemy invading south led by Yuxi Timur, so as to avoid fighting on both sides. Still stick to the original combat policy, to capture Yangzhou and annihilate the enemy in Yangzhou, and to severely damage the enemy in the south, so as to completely eliminate the threat of hostile to Jiangnan between the two Huaihe Rivers.

The guys divided into two factions argued endlessly at the meeting, and even ate without stopping, and argued that their views were correct from all aspects. However, Zhao Bing did not stop them rashly, or made the final decision as before, and even rarely interrupted, but just listened to the opinions of both sides silently. These guys were all warriors, each with bad tempers and louder voices. Maybe if it weren't for the emperor's presence, I'd have decided to compete in the martial arts.

Although Zhao Bing listened patiently, he couldn't help but feel irritated in noisyness. After dinner, he asked Chen Fenglin to continue organizing the discussion. He walked out of the account and wanted to breathe. It was the twelfth lunar month and it was the coldest season. Moreover, the camp was in the wild, and it was a little colder without any cover. When the cold wind blew, he felt his hot head felt a little clearer.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Governor Wang, have you been here all the time?" Zhao Bing walked a few steps before hearing someone calling. He looked in the voice but saw Wang Yinglin standing outside the cordon waving to him.

"Your Majesty, Governor Wang has been waiting for half a day!" At this time, the guard on duty reported.

"It's so cold, why don't Governor Wang wait in the tent?" Zhao Bing said angrily. However, his orders were not allowed to approach the tent, and it was difficult to blame them. He just thought that the personal guard was too ignorant, and it was really rude to let the old man freeze in the cold field for most of the day.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates have also asked the governor to wait in the side tent, but he insisted on waiting outside the tent!" The personal guard explained.

"Well, let Governor Wang come over!" Zhao Bing was a little puzzled. What kind of monster was this old man making? He waved his hand and asked his personal guard to let him come over and said.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Yinglin passed the cordon and came over to salute with a trembling voice.

"Governor Wang, let's go to the side palace to talk!" Zhao Bing saw that the old man was very cold. Although he was not snot flowing, he was still trembling and hurriedly helped him to walk towards the side palace.

After entering the side hall, Zhao Bing asked Wang Yinglin to sit on the soft couch together, and asked Xiaohuangmen to add a brazier next to it, and asked the kitchen to cook a bowl of hot soup and bring it in quickly. Wang Yinglin roasted the fire, drank the bowl of hot soup and felt warm before he felt his body warm and sweat on his forehead.

"How many drinks should I drink at Governor Wang?" Seeing that Wang Yinglin had recovered, he wanted to salute him, pressed his hands and let him not move, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet?" Wang Yinglin asked, licking his lips with his hands away from the brazier.

"I was so dizzy that I was quarreled by those guys. I only ate a few bites in a mess. Governor Wang would accompany me to use some more!" Zhao Bing knew that he had been waiting outside the tent for a long time and must have not had dinner yet. If he said he hadn't eaten, he would naturally be embarrassed to mention it, so he took the initiative to invite him.

"Thank you Your Majesty, I will be disrespectful!" Wang Yinglin also understood that the little emperor did not like to be twitchy, so he followed the flow and said authentically. In fact, he was too hungry.

"Let the kitchen boil two pots of good wine and serve a hot pot!" Zhao Bing turned his face and ordered Xiao Huang who was accompanying him.

As early as Qiongzhou, Zhao Bing tinted out hot pot, but the place was too hot, and it was difficult to eat it often without winter or summer. However, after arriving in Lin'an, it became a home-cooked dish in the palace in winter, and the imperial chefs prepared various ways to eat it according to his requirements. Unfortunately, there was no chili in this era, and spicy hot pot was impossible, but it was still loved by the empress dowager and concubines. He also used this to entertain the ministers in the court, and naturally received praise. It was spread outside the palace and was popular in Lin'an City, but the palace was still authentic.

The imperial chef who was with him was cooked. He served the hot Shaoxing wine and four plates of side dishes at a moment, and then he brought the brass hot pot that was lit with charcoal fire. The chef was very considerate. The bottom of the pot was made of beef bones. In addition to the commonly used ingredients, some qi-enriched medicinal materials such as wolfberry, angelica, and longan were added. There were not many varieties of shabu-shabu, only cut mutton slices, frozen tofu, a plate of cooked white meat and a plate of ginger leaves (Chinese cabbage).

Wang Yinglin seemed to be really hungry, so he sued him and started to act on his own. Zhao Bing naturally had Xiaohuangmen serving him, dipped the scalded meat slices in seasoning and put them in the dish for use. He drank wine slowly and ate a few slices of meat. From time to time, he asked Xiaohuangmen to pick up the scalded meat and vegetables to him, and did not rush to ask him why he was anxious to see him.

"Your Majesty, I'm rude!" Wang Yinglin took a ruthless slap for a while, looked up at the little emperor looking at him with a smile, his old face turned red, he put down his chopsticks and bowed.

"Haha, why should we be more polite in private? It's better to be more open-minded!" Zhao Bing picked up the wine glass and invited him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm not surprised!" Wang Yinglin bowed his hand and thanked him again, and quickly picked up the wine glass and drank, "Your Majesty, I am asking for a sudden meeting today, and I have something important to report."

"It's okay if you talk about it!" Zhao Bing saw that he had eaten most of the time, so he filled the wine for him with his own hands.

"Your Majesty, I guess it's a pity. Today I'm afraid there will be no result!" Wang Yinglin sat upright and said solemnly.

"Well, how do you know Governor Wang?" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"It's not that I'm spying on military equipment, but that I'm stuck outside the guards for several requests, and there's endless debate in the tent, so I'm concluding that there is no conclusion. The reason is that Your Majesty is still hesitating!" Wang Yinglin replied with a chuckling.

"Why did the governor know what I was hesitating?" Zhao Bing looked at his old god's appearance and seemed to have seen through his thoughts. He took a sip of wine and asked.

"Your Majesty is hesitating to withdraw to Jiangnan after collecting the two Huaihe Rivers or completing the annihilation of the enemy in Henan, Huaibei and the capital of Hebei, Shandong, and Wanhu, Shandong!" Wang Yinglin stared at the eyes of the little emperor and said.

"How did Governor Wang know that it was this matter, not another matter?" Zhao Bing did not admit it or deny it, and then asked.

"Your Majesty's strategy of sieging Yangzhou to defeat enemy aid and luring the enemy across Jiangnan to annihilate it was to attack the enemy in the Huai River, so that he did not dare to harass Jiangnan and gain time for our dynasty to save money and grain to fight for the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains." Wang Yinglin, as the chief minister of the court, participated in the original discussion and was not unfamiliar with this, "but the current situation changes exceeded the original estimate. It was both an opportunity and a crisis for our dynasty, so it was difficult for Your Majesty to make a decision."

"Please ask Governor Wang to explain in detail!" Zhao Bing nodded slightly. In fact, what Wang Yinglin said was that when he learned that Yuxi Timur had gathered the remaining troops from the two Duwanhu Mansions to cross the south to invade the Yangtze River, he realized that the situation had changed and the emergence of the fighter's opportunity was a great opportunity to recover the two Huai Rivers. However, neither he nor the court were ready for this, or even mentally.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for your words." Wang Yinglin first bowed his hands and said, "The Mongol Yuan established two capitals, Wanhu Prefectures south of the Yellow River, with ten thousand-hu Prefectures and more than twenty thousand-hu Prefectures. Currently, three of the Yangzhou city are surrounded. Yuxi Timur wants to command the other seven Wanhu Prefectures and some Qianhu Prefectures to cross the south to attack our Jiangnan. It can be said that they are in full swing. As long as our army is determined to concentrate its forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy invading the south, and then defeat Yangzhou to destroy the remaining enemies, the enemy's main force will be completely gone south of the Yellow River. The remaining Qianhu Prefectures are weak in combat, and the total strength is only 20,000, which is difficult to resist the sweeping of our army. After the Mongolian court lost the troops of the two capitals, the only guards who defended the capital and the Mongolian army stationed in the northwest can be mobilized. However, they must be prepared for the rebel king in the northwest, and they dare not fight with all their might. Most of them can only defend the Huaihe line to protect the safety of the capital."

"Your Majesty is worried about three things: one is that he is worried about insufficient troops and cannot protect the Yangtze River defense line; the second is that he is worried about our dynasty's lack of money and food reserves, unable to cope with the famine that occurred in the Huaihe River and the inability to bear the huge military expenditure after the expansion of the army; the third is that he is worried about the opposition of the ministers in the court, which will lead to civil strife." Wang Yinglin continued to say, "I think these are not enough, or it may not shake the foundation of our dynasty."

"I would like to ask Governor Wang to solve his doubts!" ​​Zhao Bing raised his glass and invited him.

"Your Majesty, our dynasty has deployed more than 300,000 troops along the river. If we annihilate the enemies of the two Huai Rivers, we can defend the Huai River and re-arrange the defense line. The western expedition army is unstoppable and has approached Chongqing, so we can eliminate the worries of being attacked from both sides, so we don't have to worry about insufficient troops. Besides, the world has said: Jiangdong is ripe, and the world is sufficient. Our dynasty occupies Jiangnan, and the food produced can be eaten by people all over the world, so there is no need to worry about famine. Besides, the tax period for your Majesty to reduce the tax will be over half of the tax revenue next year. Moreover, there are still a lot of surplus in your Majesty's inner warehouse, so can you lend it to the court? So Your Majesty does not have to worry about money and food." Wang Yinglin smiled.

"You will plot against the little money in my pocket, but Governor Wang's words also touched my heart!" Zhao Bing smiled and said.

"As for the ministers in the court, they are not stubborn. Most of them are still very wise. For more than a hundred years, they still have the ambition to recover the Central Plains and restore the capital to Bianliang. I think that although there will be any opposition, as long as Your Majesty is determined, it will not be enough to stop the battle to recover the two Huai Rivers." Wang Yinglin bowed his hand for his words of paying off the emperor's wallet and said seriously.

"The King of Governors is really a minister of the country!" Wang Yinglin's words not only made Zhao Bing's confidence multiply, but also felt that this person was of great use, so he couldn't help but praise him.

"I am loyal to the country and do not hesitate to this end!" Wang Yinglin said with politeness.

"It seems rare to recover the two Huai Rivers, but there are dangers in it." Zhao Bing raised his hand to let him avoid the gift, and drank the wine in a glass of wine, saying, "According to our estimates, Yuxi Timur will implement a plan to surround Wei and rescue Zhao to relieve the siege of Yangzhou, and thus fall into the trap we set up. However, I did not expect that he would invade the south regardless of the safety of the two Huai Rivers. In this way, the troops deployed by our army in Jiangdong would appear to be weak and unable to complete the encirclement against the enemy. This led to the failure to complete the plan to encircle and annihilate the invading enemy, but instead put Jiangnan in danger."

"Well, Your Majesty is right. Most of the imperial guards who are defending the capital have already reached this place with Your Majesty. The various troops in Huguang have to take on the task of plundering Huaixi. Even if they are transferred to Jiangdong, they will be difficult to relieve the nearby fire." Wang Yinglin nodded deeply and looked up and said unwillingly, "But your Majesty has a rare opportunity. Is it rare to miss the great opportunity to recover the two Huaixi?"

"There is no way. For the sake of the present, the only way is to draw troops from the besieged troops back to defend Jiangdong, and cooperate with the remaining troops to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the enemy invading the southern invasion!" Zhao Bing took a deep breath and said.

"Your Majesty, if you draw the enemy to the besieged city, why don't you lose the other and let the enemy of Yangzhou go?" Wang Yinglin said in surprise. He knew that although the enemy in the city suffered heavy damage, he could still mobilize tens of thousands of people to defend the city. If he discovered that his army was transferred south, he would take the opportunity to break the camp or break through the siege, which would increase the variables.

"The current enemy is trapped in the city, and is in the same turtle. If our army only surrounds but not attacks, they will have a delusion if they want to break the siege. It is rare that if they return to defense early and are discovered by Yuxi Timuer, they will definitely suspect that there is a fraud and give up the invasion of the south. If they wait for them to cross the river and then make a call, they will be afraid that they will break the siege and leave." Zhao Bing frowned and said.

"Yes, most of the enemy are cavalry, most of our army are infantry, and it is difficult for two legs to run through four legs!" Wang Yinglin felt that he had just convinced the little emperor, but there was a deviation in such a "small matter", which made him feel discouraged.

"Haha, Governor Wang was wrong. Sometimes four legs may not be able to run through two legs!" Zhao Bing smiled and said, he didn't expect that Wang Yinglin had a very strategic vision but was trapped in such a thing, which was not funny.

However, Zhao Bing thought that Wang Yinglin's idea was still popular and thought that people could not run a horse. In fact, Zhao Bing also thought so. In his previous life, he was very surprised to hear that there was a horse racing death in the 12-kilometer race at the National Games. After careful investigation, this event was called the "horse-killing conference" by people in the industry, and it was still a very big one!
