In fact, Liu Xi's move was quickly echoed by many military ministers. Except for his younger brother Liu Qi, who did not participate in order to avoid suspicion, all the Kansai generals who were qualified to come here to "meet Mr. Yu Wen" enthusiastically requested the battle.

Later, even Wang Yuan, the commander of the imperial camp who had been working hard to make the clay plate, couldn't help but come forward to ask for a fight... This was his chance, an opportunity to turn the imperial camp from imaginary to reality. He didn't even have a glimmer of hope.

Be willing to give up.

Seeing such an enthusiastic gesture, coupled with the military miracle Wu Jie had just created, Yu Wenxuzhong and Zhang Jun, who had been denied by the officials once before, also hesitated.

As for Zhao Guan's family, they had no unnecessary expressions as always. They just sat in front of the clay plate and listened to the words of the generals.

"I don't think it's possible!" Just when these people had finished expressing their opinions one by one, and Zhao Jiu was about to reply, Liu Ziyu, who had agreed to the order of the Privy Council, stood up first with a dark face and spoke fiercely. "If we have to stop it, please invite the officials to join us."

Convict Liu Xi and kill the two thieves led by Zhao Zhe to serve as a warning to future generations!"

The summer wind blew and the tree shadows were mottled. Liu Xi, Zhao Zhe and the other generals of the Western Army were stunned. Yu Wenxuzhong and Zhang Jun also shrank back.

Instead of waiting for these people to come to their senses and gather words to refute, Liu Ziyu handed over his hand again, and then made a shocking statement:

"Officials, how are these people doing it for the country? For the emperor? They just saw Wu Jie's extraordinary achievements, and they became jealous and thought of underestimating the enemy. They wanted to use the rise and fall of the world to gain something for themselves.

It’s just a job title! Officials please don’t be fooled by them!”

Zhao Jiu immediately shook his head: "Stop talking about these heart-breaking remarks... It doesn't matter if you have selfish motives, as long as you can win! On the contrary, if you can't win, the so-called public spirit is just a heart that harms the country... Yan Xiu,

We have something to talk about."

"Then there is something to talk about. I think Liu Xi's calculation is wrong!"

As soon as the generals took a breath, Liu Ziyu continued to face each other seriously. "The officials, I just want to ask, send a hundred thousand troops to Baihe to block the Loushi. If the Loushi can't hold on, what about waiting for reinforcements? That's why Pujin was captured.

Lieutenant Han blocked the way, but when it came to the decisive battle, at the critical moment of life and death, couldn't the Jin Army put aside the logistical worries and send reinforcements from Longmen Crossing to support 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops? And if Liu Xi and Liu were unified as one enemy

From a three-point perspective, where can we get the 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers to deal with the 20,000 to 30,000 Jin troops? Do we have to ask Han Taiwei to come over from Tongzhou? At that time, we can force a crossing from Pujin to 100,000 to 80,000 soldiers.

Where should we go to find the remaining two or three hundred thousand? That’s why I said Liu Xi and Zhao Zhe should be killed! I don’t believe it, they keep saying three against one, but they never thought of this!”

There was silence in the courtyard. Zhao Zhe instinctively looked to Zhang Jun for help, but he glared back. Liu Xi even knelt down on one knee, claiming he was negligent and incompetent.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Zhe quickly bowed his head and apologized.

Zhao Jiu signaled the second general to stand up, while slowly shaking his head at Liu Ziyu: "What Yan Xiu (Liu Ziyu's nickname) said makes sense, but Liu Dutong and the others cannot have malicious intentions... let's discuss this matter later!"

Liu Ziyu couldn't say much, so he could only bow his head and say yes.

In this way, because of Liu Ziyu's persistence, and even more because of Zhao Guan's ambiguous attitude, this military meeting could not change the general strategy. At the end of the military meeting, Wang Yan was asked to move forward with the Eight-Character Army to set up formations in the Pucheng, Meiyuan, and Fuping areas.

, resisted in camera, and served as Han Shizhong's flanking support.

The military discussion was fruitless.

After the military meeting, not to mention that everyone had their own destination, Zhang Jun took the initiative to call up his best friend Liu Ziyu as soon as he left the house, and invited him to leave with him in the car.

"Yan Xiu, you and Liu Xi are both wrong!"

One purple and one red, a pair of distinguished old friends ignored the dullness and sat opposite each other in the mule cart, and Zhang Jun also got straight to the point. "It can't be calculated as three versus one! The Western Army defended the country, with supplies piled up like mountains, and the officials personally pressed the battle.

The morale is as high as a rainbow, so why should it be three against one? Wu Jie is in Fangzhou, is it three against one?"

"Is that what I said about three versus one?"

Of course, Liu Ziyu was unscrupulous towards his friends in private, and he was also angry, so he simply sneered. "Liu Xi said he was three against one. And who doesn't know about it in Chang'an City? Mr. Yu Wen acted weakly, and you and Hu Mingzhong said nothing against each other. Beisan

The road is Hu Mingzhong's territory, but Xisan Road is your territory. The Liu brothers are your privates! Therefore, even if Wu Jie can use it, it can only be said that the soldiers and horses of Shaanbei Third Road can be used, but Liu Xi

Since I have said this, it is confirmed that your troops in the West Third Route are weak and can only fight with three against one!"

Zhang Jun was choked by this and was also furious, but he finally pressed it forcefully and returned to the topic: "Yanxiu, you really don't know or you don't know. Liu Xi is the leader of the Western Army. The situation was not good at first.

You don’t want to go to war, and you don’t know how powerful the officials are, but you think they can be bullied, so you deliberately make yourself weak?”

"How weak can it be?"

"I'm confused too. If you don't know, how can you attack Zi's shield with your spear so calmly?" Zhang Jun regained his clarity and continued to fight with all his strength. "Yan Xiu, until now, I won't argue with you.

Against one, that means you and Liu Xi are both right. The troops and horses of the third route in the West are weak and can only be three to one. But the weakest is three to one, and the strongest is also three to one? The soldiers and horses of the imperial camp cannot do this.

Two against one? Can't these soldiers brought by the officials themselves be one against one? One hundred thousand is enough! What's more, Qu Duan and Wu Lin are arranging their troops. It is impossible to say that they can bring ten or twenty thousand from Jingyuan, Huanqing, or even

Replace Wu Jie! We have enough troops!"

"So what?" Liu Ziyu continued to sneer.

"Then we can go to war! And we should go to war!" Zhang Jun answered eagerly. "The officials came here to win this battle, and the opportunity is ahead, how can we miss the opportunity? As ministers, we have to do it

The official family shares its worries with the world!"

Liu Ziyu calmed down a lot when he saw his old friend's frankness, but he sighed softly and shook his head again: "Deyuan, let's not mention Liu Xi's thoughts as a military leader. You have another account in your mind, and I don't care either.

I understand, but do you know how I calculate the score in my heart?"

"How did you calculate it?" Zhang Jun also calmed down.

"That day, the Western Army of 200,000 soldiers was defeated by Lou Shi's 10,000 soldiers..." Liu Ziyu opened his mouth and came.

"If you say so, we might as well settle the matter!" Zhang Jun's expression changed immediately after hearing only half of the sentence, and his breath became unsteady, so much so that he startled the mules outside, causing the driver to quickly pull and shout. "What are you doing?

Not talking about the Jingkang Change? If the officials were in power back then, do you believe there was a Jingkang Change? The Jin people will not be able to cross the line!"

"That's not what I mean." Liu Ziyu was helpless. "I want to say that in the decisive battle, having more troops and horses is not necessarily a good thing... because a big battle is different from a small battle. If you win a small battle, you will win, and if you lose, you will be defeated. But in a big battle, you must win."

Talk about not missing anything, and the odd and right intersecting. The armies are fighting, spread out for ten miles, and the fighting is non-stop. If you miss one place, you will miss everywhere. And this is the helplessness of a weak army fighting a strong army. If you want to win with the weak,

To be strong, you must use more and less, you can attack more and attack less. If you accumulate more soldiers and horses, you will inevitably have more flaws. Once the weak soldiers are caught by the strong soldiers, the whole situation will be overturned..."

Zhang Jun thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "You have your own military algorithm, and it is quite reasonable. I should not settle military accounts with you in the first place, but I have another algorithm. Do you want to

listen?"

Liu Ziyu's heart moved slightly, but he just raised his hand to signal.

"I don't understand military affairs, but I do know that in the three years since Mingdao Palace, the officials and we have done a lot of things, right?" Zhang Jun's tone was calm, but his eyes were fixed on the other party. "This account cannot be calculated from

Does it count here?”

Liu Ziyu instantly became awe-struck and gave up his intention to argue with the other party, because he understood the other party's meaning in an instant and understood the other party's way of settling accounts in his bones.

"In the past three years, whether it was military or political affairs, from the official level down, we have always worked hard, right? We have always been less civilized and timid, and we have harmed the country and the people, right?" Zhang Jun did not stop because of the other party's awe.

That's all. As he continued to speak, his emotions gradually became more excited. "Yan Xiu, I just want to ask you, whether it's an official or one of us, there are many people, dead or alive, stupid, wise, or derogatory.

Are there still some people who have stayed, whether civil or military, to do something a little bit? And if what we do is generally right, then why should we work hard and endure for the country for three years?

The Song Dynasty cannot be allowed to regain a foothold?! Why should these barbarians force us, the officials, and the Song Dynasty to this point?! Tell me from the bottom of your heart, this Battle of Kansai should not be

Do we win?! Can’t we settle the score like this?!”

Liu Ziyu was forced into a corner. He couldn't refute at all, and he didn't want to refute, but he suddenly asked something that was impossible to hit: "Does Deyuan like archery?"

Zhang Jun suppressed his emotions: "I don't know how."

"I like it, and the officials also like it." Liu Ziyu said seriously. "Archery is not only used to nourish Qi and practice martial arts. It makes sense for the saint to list it as one of the six arts...

One is to practice caution, the other is to determine the sending and receiving, and the third is to seek choices... I serve as the Privy Council official and serve as military adviser for the officials. All day long, I am thinking about the war situation in the whole world from Qingtang to the East China Sea.

It was so important that I always felt unbearable. After I came to Chang'an, I became even more anxious. At this time, I would go to the military camp in the city to shoot arrows. While shooting arrows, I thought about how to deal with it. These days, I spent more and more time with each other.

Sometimes my arms are sore from shooting and I don’t want to let go.”

"Yan Xiu works hard." Zhang Jun obviously thought of something. "But the official family also works hard, and since you know that the official family works hard..."

"That's not what I meant." Liu Ziyu shook his head. "I mean, it's hard work for an official, but I'm afraid he also has his own account when he shoots arrows, and it's an account unique to the emperor. We can't think of it.

Account!"

Zhang Jun was suddenly startled.

"You and I both feel that Liu Xi, the military leader, has bad accounting, and you also feel that my accounting is deficient, but I can't say that your accounting, which states that people must do their best to fulfill their destiny, is also deficient in the official accounts..." Liu Ziyu said sincerely

And to. "So Deyuan, let's each perform our duties, keep our own accounts, and have our own opinions based on the situation. The officials will make their own decisions!"

Zhang Jun was silent for a moment and nodded heavily.

But as soon as he nodded, the entire mule cart shook violently, causing the two of them to stagger in the cart.

"What happened?" Zhang Jun was furious for a moment.

At the same time, Liu Ziyu instinctively grasped the sword in his hand... The war was urgent. Zhang Jun was the de facto logistics manager of the entire Kansai region, and Liu Ziyu himself was the general staff officer and had to guard against assassination.

But immediately, there was an entourage outside the mule cart reporting: "Caosi, there is no serious problem in joining the army, but there are too many new soldiers and horses outside the city, the intersection is endless, the mules were too fast just now, and they were out of order..."

This is a common thing. In fact, the two of them heard the constant sound of armored carriages and horses before, but they just didn't pay attention. But now that the carriage has stopped, Zhang and Liu simply got out of the stuffy mule carriage together and took advantage of the situation to catch their breath.

tone.

However, as soon as they got out of the car, they were stunned, because in front of them there was a continuous line of soldiers and horses, with flags and armor... This is understandable, because when foreign troops enter Chang'an, they naturally have to dress up to show their military power.

, the same reason why I specifically picked it in the evening when the heat is gradually fading... So the problem is not only that the flags and armors are complete, but also that there are a lot of them!

Not only are there a large number of them, but the armor coverage seems to be too high. Half of them are even cavalry with iron masks, and the other half are long ax soldiers with iron masks. Moreover, regardless of whether they are on foot or on foot, they are marching.

There were actually some neat formations, with cavalry on one side and long-axe infantry on the other, with heavy baggage vehicles in the middle, which was clearly extraordinary.

"Which army is this?" Zhang Jun, who was wearing a purple robe, was stunned. "Where did it come from?"

"These are not soldiers and horses, this is accounts." Liu Ziyu, who was dressed in red robes, held his hands and watched as a young general who had passed by led the military parade in front of him under a large banner with Chinese characters. He didn't care at all that there was a purple man beside him.
