"Let's not talk about that." After shooting the crow, Zhao Jiu finally sheathed the arrow and took the sweat scarf from Concubine Wu in military uniform, and then asked more about the business. "Guanxi Third Road, plus Chang'an here

Do you know the strength of the four families' troops and horses?"

"I can only give you a try." Yang Yizhong replied sincerely.

"Tell me."

"Xihe Road is the best, Xiaxi Road (Hanzhong) is second, Jingzhao Road is third, and Qinfeng Road is the third." Yang Yizhong did not hesitate.

"Xihe Road is next to Qingtang, and the number of cavalry is relatively large. Since Jingkang, instead of being damaged in battles with the Jin army, they have defeated Xixia many times. I know that the troops and horses on this road are in the best condition." Zhao Jiu wiped his sweat.

Seriously. "The militia gathered in Jingzhao in a hurry is almost useless. I also know it, but why is Qinfeng Road not as good as Xiaxi Road? Isn't Xiaxi Road Hanzhong? How can that place compare with the serious Kansai soldiers and horses? What's more, Qinfeng Road has always been

Is it a place second only to Jingzhao and where the foundation of Kansai is?"

"I think it was caused by Wang Xie's rebellion." Yang Yizhong replied seriously. "After Jingkang, Qin Feng Road was used to resettle Wang Xie, and Wang Xie was really a man who harmed the country. His military discipline was disordered.

It was almost useless to escape...and after Zhang Yunshi (Zhang Jun) dealt with Wang Xie, Prime Minister Yu Wen issued an order to transfer Zhao Zhe from Zhang Yunshi's Caosi to the post of Military Superintendent, but it only lasted half a year."

After wiping her sweat, Zhao Jiu nodded and signaled Concubine Wu to go back. Then she turned around to speak, but sighed again.

In other words, the reason why Qu Duan was able to survive, and the reason why Wang Shu, the theoretical perfect victim, has never been able to bring down Qu Duan in Tokyo and make himself angry, is partly due to the so-called "old three members" in Kansai at that time.

Another person, Wang Xie... Looking back now, this person is simply Liu Guangshi, Fan Qiong and his ilk, even worse than these two people. Liu Guangshi can win over his subordinates with the kindness of his family, and Fan Qiong also had the relationship with Jin people in the early stage

What courage does Wang Xie have in fighting?

The existence of this person perfectly highlighted Qu Duan's ability and contribution to maintaining northern Shaanxi. It also made Wang Shu, who had always used Wang Xie to deal with Qu Duan, become a powerful minister when he returned, but when he talked about old accounts, he was

In Tokyo, a place that only talks about anti-gold and utilitarianism, it is impossible to raise its head.

When Zhao Jiu couldn't bear it any longer, he signaled to Yu Wenxuzhong, Zhang Jun and Hu Yin to kill Wang Xie and nailed Wang Xie to the identity of a 'traitor who harmed the country'. The relationship between Wang Shu and Qu Duan became even more tense.

It's a complete mess.

But regardless of these old grudges, the current problem is that at this critical moment, the entire country has to pay for the series of internal strife between these three people and take the risk to put it back. This is the case, and Wu is allowed to

It's the same when Jie is defeated again and again, and it's the same when Qin Fenglu accepts a team whose combat power has collapsed.

Otherwise, is there any other way?

"How do these soldiers and horses compare to the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp?" Zhao Guan's family still asked this question as they watched Mrs. Wu go to another hospital.

Although Yang Yizhong had expected this question and had prepared it, for some reason, he became more cautious in his words: "The military appearance, equipment, discipline, and soldiers are all inferior to the imperial camp.

That is to say, there are more war horses on Xihe Road, and they are still new ones..."

Besides, Yang Yizhong was talking from behind, and while Zhao Jiu was listening, he had already walked up the corridor and met Bachelor Xiao Lin who was waiting here. He was about to go to the back hall to see Yu Wenxu and others. But he heard someone behind him.

The sudden cessation of speech made the official of the Song Dynasty startled, and then he turned back to look at the person behind him.

Without him, Yang Yizhong said a lot of "not as good", and they were all "not as good" that could be easily verified, but there was never a conclusion, that is, he did not say "not as good" in terms of combat power or the ultimate general "not as good".

This is very interesting.

"I was ordered to promote the Imperial City Division, so I should only talk about what I saw before my eyes." When Yang Yizhong saw the officials stopping to look at him, he also said seriously. "But I am also the direct commander of the imperial class, and in terms of military affairs

But it is a rare place where I can express my opinions..."

"Then let me put it bluntly, why are you still so careful?" Zhao Jiu faced each other with his hands behind his back.

"Because I was born in Kansai, and I have a lot of interests..." Yang Yizhong replied sincerely.

"So what you are saying is that although the soldiers and horses of the Kansai route were raided twice by the Loushi and once civil strife, they survived and received money and food supplies from Bashu and reorganized in just one year, but they still have merit.

Even when it comes to battle, they are no less powerful than the imperial army?" Zhao Jiu frowned at him.

"yes."

"What reason?"

"One is to defend the hometown and the soldiers are brave; the other is to fight in the local area and adapt to the terrain and climate." Yang Yizhong became more sincere. "So I think that if it is a specific battlefield, the Western Army may not be inferior to the imperial camp... Of course, there are many in the imperial camp.

The soldiers and horses are originally from the Western Army, so there is no comparison."

Zhao Jiu thought for a moment, nodded slowly, then turned around and continued to follow Academician Xiao Lin to the back hall. However, after taking two steps, he stopped and looked back again: "Have your grandfather's bones been found?"

Yang Yizhong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head sadly.

Zhao Jiu stopped talking and finally walked quickly into the back hall. At this time, Yu Wenxuzhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Ziyu, and three strategic envoys, as well as messengers Hu Yin, Han Shizhong, Li Yanxian, and Luoyang messengers,

The messengers from Tokyo, as well as the messengers from Yue Fei, Zhang Rong, Lu Qing, Zhang Jun and others are all here.

This is not a coincidence, but a routine announcement.

As early as before Zhao Jiu left, when he once again used the imperial ministers to supervise the armies, he privately conveyed the decree. Regardless of whether it is far or near, all military affairs, commanders, left behind, and husband-in-law should report here every day. Kansai sent it directly.

To reach Guandong, take the Nanluoshui Trail... Daily reports have almost become customized.

In fact, Zhao Jiu, who was dressed in cotton clothes with tight sleeves, entered the hall and sat down directly under the lamp. However, he did not speak to Yu Wenxu and others. Instead, he first took the daily report from the messengers with his own hands and opened it directly.

Look, after all the reports were read and the messengers were asked to go down to rest for the time being, the situation was discussed.

"The Jin Army has gathered in Hedong. The entire Hezhong Prefecture is full of Jin Army flags. Baishui City has also fallen. The Jin Army may move south in a big way in the near future. Han Shizhong is under too much pressure. I hope Li Yanxian will not withdraw the Anlu troops and horses on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Try to delay it for a moment or two." Zhao Jiu's expression remained as usual, and he casually handed several reports to Liu Yan beside him while speaking as usual.

The latter then distributed these things to Yu Wenxuzhong and others.

"But I don't know what Lieutenant Li said?" Zhang Jun handed over a daily newspaper and hurriedly exchanged it before reading it.

"Li Yanxian's newspaper didn't mention this." Zhao Jiu replied calmly. "It's just that Shao Yun, the general of Anlu, suddenly asked for an official rank and his wife's kindness..."

"That's a promise." Yu Wenxu held the daily newspaper in his hand and sighed. "Although Anlu City may not be able to be defended, even if it cannot be defended, it may not be possible to escape back or enter Zhongtiao Mountain in the north, but hundreds of thousands of Jin troops gathered together

East of Hedong, under the pressure of Mount Tai, how easy is it?"

Zhao Jiu did not respond, and the rest of the people in the hall were also speechless.

In fact, there are some things that everyone knows very well, but we may not necessarily say them out, especially in this situation. The war is approaching, and matters of life and death are usually taken lightly. If we really feel sad for the moment, it will damage our morale... Write it down and rest assured.

, and then only when you can survive can you be qualified to feel gratitude and repay.

Of course, the best thing for Zhao Jiu is a reward.

As for Yu Wenxuzhong saying this, there is nothing we can do about it. You must know that this person had a romantic temperament in his early years. He responded to Xingzai's call early and rushed to Xingzai. This was probably because he served as an envoy during the Jingkang Incident and was very important to the country.

He feels guilty about the emperor... Judging from his more emotional temperament, he is not actually a qualified envoy. Only his qualifications and identity are there. He was the Zizhengdian University as early as the invasion of the Jin people.

The scholar has become the prime minister and has the merits of pursuing his career, so it is not easy to care about his previous appointment or his current words.

"Hu Jinglue said...Wu Jie won a small victory in Fangzhou City?" The Anlu incident passed like this, and after a moment of silence, the Privy Council agreed. Liu Ziyu quickly noticed something strange from the daily newspaper in his hand. "Send the letter.

The date is the day before yesterday, the small victory message is the day before yesterday, what day was the fall of White Water City?"

"Yesterday."

Zhang Jun looked at Han Shizhong's daily newspaper in his hand and quickly gave the answer.

And this is the troublesome part of the war. There are thousands of things with different dates, and they need to be sorted out after being compiled. This is one of the reasons why Zhao Jiu has to share intelligence to a certain extent.

"Baishui City is some distance away from Fangzhou City. The Jin Army's forward brigade is not as fast as the messengers when they attack." Liu Ziyu blurted out immediately after hearing the news and pointed out the problem. "If Fangzhou City is still there today.

A small victory, and Baishui City was captured yesterday, which can only mean that Wanyan Lou’s family directly divided his troops and marched south without attacking Fangzhou City... This is a bit unreasonable."

"What does Ziyu mean?" Zhang Jun immediately became alarmed and then reminded him sternly. "Although Hu Mingzhong is a bit pedantic, he will never lie!"

"But the Western Army is meeting, and Wu Jie is from the Western Army, and has been polished in the Western Army for almost twenty years." Liu Ziyu remained calm, first glanced at Zhang Jun, and then glanced diagonally across from him.

The Liu brothers, however, showed no mercy at all. "In my opinion, Wu Jie knew that he would definitely lose and Fangzhou would definitely lose. He couldn't even say that Fangzhou had already been lost the day before... But he had fought continuously before.

I was defeated, but I was promoted to the position of Economic and Strategic Envoy by the officials, so I couldn't help but panic. So in order to cover up and whitewash it, I first falsely reported some military exploits, then said that the defense of the city was tragic, and finally said that I had no choice but to evacuate, which is not possible. "

It was a hot summer night, but Zhao Jiu had her hands folded in the sweltering sleeves. She was deep in thought throughout the whole process, without saying a word or showing any expression.

As for the rest of the people, they all had different reactions... Yu Wenxuzhong and Zhang Jun each sighed, being promoted by Yu Wenxuzhong, Zhao Zhe, who was actually Zhang Jun's personal person, turned a deaf ear. Liu Qi wanted to defend Wu Jie but was rejected by his brother Liu Xi.

stop.

Obviously, the people who stayed in the back hall of the Xianggong's Mansion most likely recognized Liu Ziyu's words and judgment, because it was so unusual for the Western Army leader to do such a thing... These bastards had nothing to do with killing good people and taking credit for their merits.

I have done it before, but it is even more commonplace to fight for merit and fame, let alone lie about military achievements, or just deliberately miss the date by a day or two?

He really did kill good people and take meritorious deeds. Wang Shunchen, whom Li Gang promoted, was the one who triggered the Southeast Mutiny. He was demoted ten levels in a row because of killing good people and taking meritorious deeds. But later his daughter got married well, and then he was demoted again.

He became a military governor.

In short, to put it bluntly, I am currently overwhelmed by the Jin people. One day I can live a peaceful life. If Zhao Jiu does not reorganize the Western Army like the grass bandits and general rebels before, it will be like time travel.

The shame of the person.

But then again, isn’t it that the Jin Army is overwhelming everyone right now? Isn’t it all the atrocities, all the internal fighting, all the collusion and stupidity in the Jin Army’s systematic massacre of the city, and the systematic enslavement of both parties?

Do you all look so pathetic and ridiculous in front of the people of He?

What's more, there is no evidence yet.

Therefore, although he believed most of it in his heart, reason told Zhao Jiu that he could not make malicious speculations about a general who was probably still killing the enemy on the front line without evidence, let alone Yu Wenxuzhong and Zhang.

Civil servants like Jun and Liu Ziyu collectively sent some inappropriate signals to several generals.

"Military affairs are serious. Don't slander your colleagues without any basis." Zhao Jiu came to his senses and scolded Liu Ziyu for a rare moment. "But military leniency... might as well take into account the gains and losses of Fangzhou City."

"I made a mistake." Liu Ziyu stood up to apologize, and then quickly returned to the topic. "Actually, now that Baishui has fallen, Lou Shi's thoughts have become clear. He can either turn southeast from Baishui and go to Tongzhou to engage in a pincer attack with the troops from Hedong.
To be continued...
