Chapter 93 - 2

Although Li Du was a little offended, Huang Jian did not think it was offended and replied, "If the king acted according to the court system, it would not be one person who did evil, but the court did evil. How could the one person be guilty?" He looked at Li Du's unwilling expression and said patiently, "Your ambitions must be experienced in the prefectures and counties in the future?" Some of the students under the escort nodded slightly, and some showed excitement. Huang Jian smiled slightly and said, "You guys ask yourself, can you not be wronged and kill one person in the future? If these unjust and wrongly killed people, they will come to you to compensate yourself. In this world, the prefectures and counties, I am afraid that everyone will pay their lives?"

Li Du couldn't answer for a moment, and Wang Lin nodded and said, "Mr.'s words are very true. Those who are officials are the most important thing in loyalty."

Huang Jian shook his head and said, "The way of loyalty and honesty is good to cultivate oneself. However, the patriarchs in prefectures and counties involve the sufferings of the people. Indulging in evil is to help evil, and indulging in lawlessness is similar to those who are the disabled and the people who are fishing and meat."

Wang Lin looked ashamed and whispered: "Students have been taught."

Li Du was still unwilling to accept it and whispered to his classmates: "In the past, I heard the teachings and taught me, and thought that every word from Mr. Zhoushan was truly insightful. Now it seems that Huangzhoushan is just a good dragon. When it comes to killing the tyrant, he was shocked and was almost about to change his course." He has always been wild and has no restraint on his classmates, but his classmates who are familiar with each other have no courage to criticize Mr. Zhoushan. Some have a look of earth, some are submissive, some pretend not to hear it, and some even if they approve it in their hearts, their faces are very awkward.

At the top of Xiangyang, flags were densely packed, and the generals were sanitation. Zhao Qi, Cao Di and Liu Yanqing stood at the top of the city. Zhao Qi looked out of the city and saw that the Liao army in his sight was becoming increasingly rare. Yelu Dashi seemed to have given up his ambition to quickly capture Xiangyang. To the south of the city, the Song army camps guarding the city were one by one, and the army was extremely victorious.

"Gongfu Cai and Gao Gong Li sent someone to ask when the army will go south? The people in the southeast are looking forward to the royal army for a long time."

Zhao Qi asked kindly, a trace of unknown complex light flashed in his eyes. Although he became this emperor, it was exactly the same as he had imagined before. Although Xiangyang had more than 100,000 elite soldiers, most of them were in the hands of Cao Di and Liu Yanqing. Cao Di was a national relative. After escorting Zhao Qi to the south, he firmly occupied the head of the martial arts troupe. Although Liu Yanqing could not compete with Cao Di, he also firmly controlled the Southeast camp. The current situation was like a sword holding back, which could easily hurt people. Zhao Qi urgently hoped to meet with Cai Jing, Li Bangyan and other important officials as soon as possible, and then use the strength to gradually regain the power of the court. Fortunately, Cao Di and Liu Yanqing did not object. On the surface, the Xiangyang court promised Ezhou that the two families would work together to fight against Liao. In fact, Cao Di was planning to conquer Ezhou and connect the southeast half of the country into one.

"As long as you get the real news of the Shuzhou War," Liu Yanqing said respectfully, "we can start." He paused a little, ignored the disappointed expression of the officials, and said to himself, "If the troops were sent too early, the frontier army in Shuzhou might collapse. Even if Ezhou is captured, they will face the attack of the Liao army. It is better to wait and see the opportunity and wait until the Ezhou rebel army and the Liao army are almost exhausted before taking action."

As long as the time is right, the Xiangyang army will go downstream and only a few days to reach Ezhou. In order to seize this opportunity, Zhao Qi and Cao Di did not hesitate to discuss peace and stabilize the Liao army, promising to ced all the territory of the Song Dynasty north of the Yellow River.

Zhao Qi instructed, "The two generals of Yue and Han are not mediocre generals. If possible, allow them to surrender and continue to serve the court." A look of disgust flashed in his eyes, "Only Chen Shaoyang and other rebel ministers who were posing as righteousness, staying is a disaster. As for Zhao Xingde?" He hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Save him one life first, and I will consider it."

"Abide by the order." Cao Di bowed and agreed. At the beginning, Cao Di sneered at Chen Dong's riot in Ezhou, but he didn't expect that they would become a climate. According to the original plan, Luoyang Xiangyang Hedong had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and there was no shortage of food and salary in the southeast, which was enough to deal with the Liao army. However, the prefectures and counties such as Ezhou, which were bewitched by Chen Dong, were stuck in the southeast like bone spurs, which made people feel particularly uncomfortable. Therefore, as soon as the situation stabilized, how did Cao Di and Cai Jing consider removing the thorn in their eyes?

The Minister of Rites Deng Su stood behind Zhao Qi. Each of them was his master, and they should avoid suspicion. These reasons swept through his heart like fire, making Deng Su feel uncomfortable and guilty. But his lips moved, and he still did not advise Zhao Qi in front of Cao Liu. Although Deng Su only accepted the position of Minister of Rites, he was a minister who was in trouble with Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi was also close to civil officials in his heart, not military generals like Cao Di and Liu Yanqing. The officials were not at ease with Cai Jing, Li Bangyan and other old ministers of the previous dynasty, and repeatedly hinted to Deng Su that if there was a future, the officials would rely on him to take charge of the political affairs hall.

"How long will it take? How long will it take?" Zhao Qi looked into the distance and asked in a low voice, "Can Ezhou really go down in one go?"

"I can't wait long." Cao Di put his hand on the hilt of the sword and explained patiently: "The people who stay in Ezhou now are just mobs. The military strategy says that those who are good at fighting have a dangerous momentum and a short momentum. The momentum is like an expanding crossbow, and the momentum is like a starting machine. The key is to seize the Shuzhou fighter jet and conquer Ezhou in one fell swoop when it is most beneficial to us."

"The momentum is dangerous, and the momentum is short." Zhao Qi murmured and repeated.

Under the city of Xiangyang, the Han River flowed southward, with flags everywhere. Zhao Qi couldn't help but hold his hands tightly, and his white fingers held purple-red marks. He seemed to see the scene of a large army flowing downstream, the southeastern prefectures and counties surrendering, and the revival was in sight.

The Emperor of Liao was stepping on a huge rock on the top of the Lumen Mountain peak. The rock was extremely narrow, and only one person was allowed. From the bottom to the top, this abrupt huge rock seemed to be touching the ground, and a strong wind could blow the rock. Under the rock, all the generals looking up were frightened. However, the view here was wide and the scenery was unique. In order to confuse the monarchs of Xiangyang, Yelu Dashi excitedly invited the envoys of Xiangyang to visit the Lumen Academy. The two talked about the scenery of the Southern Dynasty. The Emperor of Liao was very impressed by the envoys of the Southern Dynasty with his profound Sinology. Then the Privy Council envoys of the Northern Court sent the envoys of the Southern Dynasty back and took the generals to look up. From here, you can look at the continuous camp tents of the Liao army camp. Yelu Dashi has been practicing arrows since he was a child, and his eyes are extremely sharp, and he can distinguish the flags of the cavalry coming and going.

"A man who is good at fighting has a dangerous situation and a short position." Yelu Dashi murmured to himself. He looked at the infinite scenery again nostalgic, exerting force with his feet, jumping off the rock as if he was dismounting. He raised the whip in his hand, summoned Yelu Baoyi to the front, and asked, "Are the iron cannons, roads, cannons, cannons, are they ready for attacking the city?

Yelu Baoyi said respectfully: "As long as your Majesty waves his whip, he can arrive at the city of Xiangyang within three days." He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Although the artillery cannon is well built, in order to confuse the Southern Dynasty, the guards are too few, so I am worried?"

Yelu Dashi smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if you give Xiangyang ten more courage, they will not challenge us." He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a sarcastic tone, "Harmony is the most important."

From the perspective of Ezhou, the Liao army shrank due to peace talks. In the eyes of the Liao army, this was to concentrate the scattered troops and prepare for the upcoming attack. The Liao army's cavalry became increasingly concentrated, with a team of thousands and ten thousand people constantly training. After several months of preparation, a large amount of food and fodder was sent to the forefront. The Liao army almost no longer went out to hunt grass valleys, but relied on local officials of the Bianliang court to transport food and grass for them. As long as Xiangyang and Ezhou began to fight, the Liao army would go south to attack Xiangyang with thunder. This time, the Liao army carried 50,000 jin of siege cannons that could fire nearly 2,000 jin of stone bombs, and tens of thousands of Jurchen navy restrained the navy of the Southern Dynasty.

Under the surface of peace talks between Liao and Song dynasties, this is the tranquility of the storm in the future, with mantis stalking cicadas and orioles behind.

"Report to the general, no Liao army's reconnaissance cavalry was found."

Wu Jie nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes, and the chill in his eyes became even more intense.

Gao Zhen, the governor of Fangzhou, and Chen and Yi, the chief minister of the Prime Minister's Office, stood at the top of Fangzhou. Their faces were complicated.

Looking down from the city, along the river, along the high ground, the tents of the Xia army were covered with fences, and the lower part was surrounded by energetic war horses playing leisurely. On the slightly flat terrain, the officers shouted commands loudly, and the artillery battalions and the musket army were arranged in neatly to practice. Fangzhou, this small land surrounded by mountains was like a large military camp. If Zhao Xingde saw this scene, he would be shocked.

Sending troops from Hanzhong, advancing east along the Han River, stationing troops in Fangzhou, and spy on Xiangyang is a route that the General's Mansion has been considering for a long time. By attacking Song through this route, it can avoid the heavy defense areas of the Song Dynasty. Once it has gained a foothold, it can threaten Bianliang and Luoyang in the north, and collect the southeast half of the south. The only thing to worry about is that in addition to the Han River, the land route on this line is extremely rugged and not suitable for large army access. There are differences in ships along the Han River, which are easy to go out along the flow, but difficult to withdraw troops against the flow. If the Song army counterattacks sharply, once the Xia army is defeated and unable to retreat in time, it will be easily blocked in Fangzhou, resulting in heavy losses.

After analyzing the various situations obtained by the Military Information Department, the General's Office realized that there was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In the current situation, the main force of the Ezhou army fought against the Liao army in Shuzhou, and the Xiangyang army was preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Ezhou. The Liao army used peace talks to confuse Xiangyang and was ready to take the opportunity to capture the two Song troops in one place. If the Xia army left Fangzhou in the east and stabbed the Liao army in the back after the Song-Liao battle, they would probably receive the greatest benefit at the lowest price.
