Zhao Lie and Guo Dajiang's research was not interrupted until dusk when they were interrupted by a small school holding a bronze talisman.

"Mr. Wen and Zhang have an order. Generals and officials above the army will go to the hall to discuss matters immediately."

After receiving the order, Zhao Lie did not dare to wait, so he immediately set off to return to the Yacheng and headed straight to the festival hall.

The hall in Yacheng is the military conference hall of the former Jiyang Military City. The court is stable and the whole world is in a state of chaos. Everything is simple and the military conference hall is temporarily discussed.

Zhao Lie left the guards and handed over the waist sign to the guards before he could enter the festival hall.

At this time, most of the generals and some relevant officials in the hall had gathered together, and Wen Tianxiang, the right prime minister of the Song Dynasty, sat in the upper head. It was not surprising that the prime minister was in the hall, because Wen Tianxiang was also the Privy Councilor at this time, in addition to the right prime minister, he also served as the Privy Councilor. He was the first civil minister and also led the generals, and was the real leader of all officials.

The Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty was appointed as a civil servant, while the Deputy Privy Councilor was appointed as the General. The meaning of using culture to build martial arts and using martial arts to assist the literature is very clear.

In the Song Dynasty, due to the "Chenqiao Mutiny" of Taizu of Song Dynasty, he was wearing a yellow robe. In addition, he personally felt that the arrogant soldiers and generals in the Five Dynasties caused a war of disaster, and he had been in turmoil for many years. So he made up his mind to end the situation of military abuse and chaos in the country. He then acted as a "release military power with wine" and established a national policy of respecting civil and suppressing military affairs.

It is undeniable that Zhao Kuangyin's actions were of positive significance at the beginning of the country. However, the way of governing the country was to emphasize the balance of civil and military affairs. The so-called civil and military methods were to be balanced. If the martial arts were strong and weak, it would easily lead to military intervention in politics and cause national turmoil. Over-respecting civil and military affairs would lead to low status and weak national defense. It is obvious that the descendants of the Zhao family did not grasp this level well. Not only did they fail to change the situation of civil and military weakness, but they became more and more aggressive with the help of the civil servant group. They were suspicious of military generals (such as Di Qing), using civil servants to build military forces, leading or supervising military forces, and finally evolved to the extreme, which were two extremes - on one side, "It is better to call outside the Donghua Gate"; on the other side, when the soldiers were in the army, they had to tattoo their faces to prevent escape.

By the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, the status of soldiers improved, and they used a lot of utility in the army. Envoys (voluntarily joining the army without tattooing), and generals were also particularly relied on. Zhang Shijie, a military general, was in charge of the center, while Wen Tianxiang, the head of the civil servants, led the army outside and asked many times to enter the court but failed. This was the most prominent example. However, it was difficult to return, and it was too late.

What's even more terrible is that the national policy of the Song Dynasty severely divided the civil and military poles, which made the civil servant group and the general group incompatible with the water and fire. Either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, the two major groups were unable to compatible. The military general group represented by Zhang Shijie tried their best to suppress the civil servant group once they gained power. The first one was Wen Tianxiang and Chen Yizhong, the two left and right prime ministers. They had many conflicts with each other, and even if Xingchao fled south, they still fought non-stop. If it weren't for the crushing defeat of Jishan, Xingchao had reached the point of life and death, Zhang Shijie might not have agreed to recall Wen Tianxiang back to the court to cause trouble for himself.

The rare harmonious situation of civil and military cooperation in the current dynasty is entirely due to strong external oppression - in front of them, they are desperate to attack Jiyang Army City, and in the back, the Yuan army is about to siege the city.

Yes, the Yuan army's revenge is coming.

"It is reported that the Yuan army's horse and machine department had already marched to Jiyang. When they heard that Yacheng fell into the hands of our heavenly dynasty, they did not dare to lose the city, so they retreated. Although the horse thieves retreated, the thieves were undead, and their troops did not retreat back to Qiongguan. Instead, they stopped their troops in the Wan'an army, and the wolf's intention was self-evident. Qiongguan also reported that the Yuan army recruited ships everywhere, and the intention of attacking the cliff was extremely obvious. It was also reported that today, the sea merchants came north, saying that the Leizhou port was full of sails, and the army gathered, and all merchants and civilians were not allowed to enter. At this time, the Yuan thieves raised their troops and raised their sails, and the soldiers pointed at them were obvious."

Wen Tianxiang stopped Xuanzan and read the information himself. At the end, he looked around the generals with a very wide look, saying, "Your lords, Yuan thief, are coming!"

There are no less than twenty or thirty civil officials and military generals in the ritual hall, but at this moment they are so quiet that they can hear the needle.

Although they were mentally prepared, when they heard this news, everyone was extremely depressed.

Previously, all the generals were optimistic about Ma Fuji's reinforcements, not afraid of him coming, but afraid of him not coming. As long as there is this strong city, with the defense of the Song army, Ma Fuji's two thousand soldiers and horses are not afraid of, and the Beiting army of Qiongguan Wanhu Mansion is not afraid of. However, if Ali Hague personally brought tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops across the sea to attack the city, he would face a catastrophe just after seeing a glimmer of hope.

Anyone can remain silent, but Zhang Shijie, who is the actual general manager of military affairs, cannot speak out.

As soon as Zhang Shijie spoke, he always felt excited: "For the sake of the present, you must not retreat and be beaten, you can only take the initiative to attack!"

These words were filled with excitement, and all the generals and ministers in the hall were excited when they heard this.

Zhang Shijie ordered his servant to take a large map shaped like a tablecloth and hang it on the back sign.

This is the first time Zhao Lie has seen an ancient map. He only looked at the outline and recognized it as the topographic map of Qiongzhou. This map is obviously an enlarged version recently drawn by the master painter according to the palace collection album. In theory, it is an enlarged version, and it is also collected by the palace. It does not require any contour lines, scales, at least mountains, rivers, roads, beaches, and reefs and islands. However, Zhao Lie looked at this map, except for a mountain, cloud, and mist that was quite well-known in Chinese landscape painting, several lines representing the trend of mountains and rivers, and the locations of various military, prefectures, counties and towns, he could not see any other content.

Is this also called a map? Or a military map?

Zhao Lie was speechless.

Zhang Shijie took the jade stick from his servant and drew a circle on the edge of the island in the east, west, south, and north, and north of the island: "This is Qiongguan City, the base camp of the Yuan army in Qiongzhou. The Changhua Army is to the north and the Wan'an Army to the south. Here, the corner of the southwest is Yacheng. Do you guys see anything?"

Did you see anything? It's not too obvious.

Zhang Ba suddenly stepped out of the line, saluted respectfully, and said loudly: "Whether you set out from Leizhou or Qiongguan to attack our Yacheng, you must pass the Changhua Army to the north and the Wan'an Army to the south. You must just place a strong brigade in each of these two places. Before attacking and decapitating these two armies, the Yuan army ships must not continue to move south."

No matter whether the civil servants and generals in the hall nodded and praised them, even if they had no common sense of military strategy, they could see that the two armies of Changhua and Wan'an were indeed two bridgeheads, blocking the Yuan army's way southward. If the Yuan army bypassed any place and continued to attack Yacheng, there would be a danger of being shot behind the back. Unless the Yuan army was sure to go down to Yacheng and fight quickly, they would never dare to violate such a military taboo. However, in the face of a strong city like Yacheng, who dared to say that they would go down to Yacheng?

Then, there is only one problem now: the Changhua Army and the Wan'an Army are still in the hands of the Yuan army. Not only can they not become the checkpoint to curb the Yuan army's southward journey, but they are the springboard for the Yuan army's attack. To ensure the safety of Yacheng, it is necessary to cut off these two Yuan army's claws and let it grow again into the Song iron fist that severely attacked the Yuan army.

Fortunately, the Changhua Army was there, with only a weak brigade of less than 100 new affiliated troops. It only required to send a battalion of elite troops and then send a general to the city (or the land encirclement son), and it would be possible to make an edict. The real difficult thing is the Wan'an Army, which is a heavy army stationed in the Yuan army with 2,000 troops stationed there, and the leader is Ma Fuji, a powerful Yuan army who had just lost his father and died and could never surrender.
