"No wonder Jiulang supported His Majesty's edict when he discussed this morning."

"Erlang..." Song Jiu finally said nothing.

Fu Zhaoshou came to gilded and knew nothing at all. He thought that his imperial edict to support Zhao Kuangyi in the morning was still restrained.

Zhao Kuangyi's imperial edict is not very clever, so it cannot be exaggerated.

The first one to rely on the Mixin army. The Mixin army was in Xincheng, not in Zhuozhou, far away from Youzhou, and lacked deterrence.

Second, Cao Bin retreated and ate, but now he arrived at the new city in time without waiting for the arrival of the 50 days of food and grass in the rear, which also won the Liao Kingdom a precious ten days.

Third, Cao Bin made this low-level mistake, which shows that he is incompetent. Is an incompetent commander worth being afraid? Not to mention Yelu Xiu Ge, he would not be afraid even in Youzhou. Can such an incompetent commander take Youzhou? If you can't, just ignore it and continue to transfer the troops that arrived earlier to the mountain and continue to defeat them one by one.

However, Zhao Kuangyi was unsuccessful. Youzhou had not been taken down yet. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief Liang Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Ministry of Education, the commander-in-chief Zhang Lishe, the commander-in-chief of Shuozhou, the commander-in-chief Ma Wucheng and the commander-in-chief of the right-sans Shanfu Ma Wucheng and the commander-in-chief of Chongyi, the commander-in-chief Wei Zhen, the commander-in-chief of Weizhou, and the commander-in-chief Zhang Shutong and the commander-in-chief Yunzhou.

In fact, the army was wrong before it was launched.

Song Jiu felt something wrong in the capital. Yang Yeju reminded him that he also felt something was wrong. He said two things, it was too far away and it was inconvenient to cooperate, and he was worried that Cao Bin was not capable enough. However, it was not the main thing.

It was not until Song Jiu retreated from Zhuozhou to eat that he remembered.

What's wrong? Yelu Xiu Ge has given the answer.

Even without Cao Bin's mistake, Yelu Xiuge hid in Youzhou City, and the Song army was feinted in Zhuozhou. Yelu Xiuge didn't need to ask, and sat down to watch the Song army's performance. If it was a real attack and defended the city, Han Delang could defend for many days. Besides, Yelu Xiuge. Then, the Liao army would first defeat or repel the Song army with fewer troops in the mountains and the Song army, which had fewer troops, and returned calmly, and joined the reinforcements later, defeated the Song Dynasty's Eastern Route Army.

Unless Yelu Xiuge is a fool who takes the initiative to go out of the city to have a big battle, and then the three armies collapse and Youzhou is full of dangers, there is only one result. The army of Zhongxi Road will never reach the city of Youzhou to achieve the three armies imagined by Zhao Kuangyi.

But Song Jiu said it now, what's the point? Is Zhao Kuangyi willing to retreat?

But I still have to say it. But prepare the way out first.

The reason why Song Jiu agreed to Zhao Kuangyi's imperial edict was very simple. The two armies would have a stronger force, and it would not be easy to defeat, and even if they were defeated, they would not be very defeated. Xincheng was closer to the border, and nearby were Rongcheng and Mancheng and other fortresses under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. If the situation was not good, they could retreat to the Song territory in time. If the Liao army pursued, first of all, there were some forts on the border due to its own proposal, which would have some restraints. Secondly, at its own proposal, 60% or 70% of the people on the border migrated to the rear, mostly farming, and the food and grass were in the forts. The Liao army could not obtain food and grass by plundering, and they came to rescue them in a hurry. The food and grass brought were not much, and it would have some restraints. Also, the right time, place and people.

Then there is a defeat, and there will be no great casualties.

However, no one listened at all.

There is no way, all the elites in this line of work were revealed, and the stars were like clouds, and the dazzling eyes were dazzling. However, just like the football team Real Madrid in later generations, one of the big masters did not listen to the second master's call, and Zhao Kuangyi stopped listening to the imperial edict, let alone himself.

In addition, Cao Bin was hesitant, so a few voices with the same opinions as him were quickly drowned in the quarrel.

Song Jiu said again: "Looking at everyone's expressions in the morning, they have different opinions and make decisions, just like a pile of loose sand. In this case, how can we be the opponent of Yelu Xiuge, the most brave general of the Liao Kingdom?"

"Kyuro, what should I do?"

"Defeat is definitely a defeat, it depends on how you lose. You are not afraid of small defeats, but you are afraid of big defeat. Once you lose, casualties are not in the battle, but in the collapse and escape. If you have superb abilities, just like Yelu Xizhen, you may be able to rectify military discipline in time, avoid excessive casualties, and return safely. If you do not have the ability, you may even be wiped out with your subordinates."

In fact, when the Song army collapsed in history, Li Jilong, as a forward (forward army), brought more than 10,000 subordinates back to the Song Dynasty safely under that circumstances. Only then did he truly enter Zhao Kuangyi's vision and then gradually embark on the path of famous generals.

Of course, Song Jiu didn't know about it. Even if he knew about it, he changed his progress to Yang Ye.

Fu Zhaoshou's face showed a bitter look.

I'm just here to make a living, so what are the superb military capabilities?

"Erlang, don't worry. I'll have a way to do it when I say it. From now on, the more the army with loose military discipline will be defeated when it collapses, even if it is Li Guang. On the contrary, the stricter the military discipline, the more distracted the time it collapses, and will be taken advantage of by the enemy."

"I……"

"I know you don't understand, but you have one advantage to sincerity, that is, your official position and my official position. I am the military supervisor and have the right to let Yan Zhao be transferred to your subordinates and let him cooperate with you in rectifying military discipline. I promise to take out 200,000 pieces of cotton, 100,000 pieces of silk, and you can use your power to reward all your subordinates. First, stimulate them to abide by military discipline and strengthen training, and second, use this to make everyone join. If it is really bad as I guess, listen to my transfer and my command urgently."

"This is also a solution. I also took out 200,000 pieces of cotton, 100,000 pieces of silk, and 100,000 pieces of silk." Fu Zhaoshou said.

Gold shops have also distributed dividends, and with two other industries, they have huge profits every year.

I'm afraid of death. Money is good, can I buy my life?

Liu Zhixin also expressed his intention to take out some of the money.

In this way, the three families are almost ready to raise nearly one million yuan in money. If they buy the entire eastern army, there will be too few, but only three subordinates, 20,000 to 30,000 troops. Once they are divided, each person will have a considerable income. Then the morale will rise and they will be mobilized.

But Song Jiu could not come forward in this matter, only Fu Zhaoshou.

He didn't think much about it anyway. He had a lot of money in his hand and was Zhao Kuangyi's brother-in-law. No matter how hard he tried, as long as he didn't make serious mistakes, at most everyone would laugh at him, but no one would ask about it.

Of course, this money is not in your hands, but you can write an IOU. Will Fu Zhaoshou still lose this money?

When the army returns to the capital, it can be cashed out.

After talking for a while, each of them had their own thoughts to disperse.

Those who came to confront each other were thinking about victory, but now they were preparing for failure. You can imagine what everyone's mood was.

Song Jiu found another person, his former enemy, Shi Gui.

This person can be regarded as a brave general.

In fact, most of the treacherous ministers are capable people, and treacherous generals are also capable generals. For example, Wang and Liu Wenyu, if they have no talent, they can gain the trust of Zhao Kuangyi? If Shi Hanqing and Shi Gui cannot fight, can they gain the trust of Zhao Kuangyin?

This person was demoted to Guangzhou during the Kaibao period. The Guangzhou was famined. Without waiting for the report, he cut the price to sell goods and grain, which lived countless lives. Later, he dredged the Huimin River, a canal that was 90-mile long from Weishi to the capital, and was completed in a few dozen days, which the people thought was convenient.

Because this person has poor character, many scholars and officials said that he likes to win people's hearts with small kindness.

The words were said in two parts. This person's moral integrity was not very good. Even Song Jiu was not at ease now, even if he was about to win him over, he didn't plan to tell much truth.

But these political achievements do prove that he has some ability.

Right is right, wrong is wrong. You cannot reject all the right side just because you do something wrong.

The reason I went to Shi Gui was because Shi Gui was deployed in this trip, with thousands of subordinates. Secondly, at the meeting in the morning, although some people agreed to Zhao Kuangyi's imperial edict, they were not very determined. Including Cao Bin, only Shi Gui and Song Jiu strongly supported Zhao Kuangyi's imperial edict.

"General Shi."

Shi Gui was a little embarrassed. Although he didn't do too much like Shi Hanqing at that time, he was secretly using some tricks to Song Jiu. At one time, there was a time when the two were now very different. If Song Jiu wanted to take revenge, Shi Gui's future would be very bad.

"Presidents should not remember the past history in their hearts. Can you read the story of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po? Only when the generals and ministers are in harmony can the country prosper."

"Mr. Song, I am ashamed."

"No, you are 61 in 60 this year. You are still on the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country. What's the shame? But I have some bad premonitions." He said his worries implicitly, but Song Jiu would never be heartbroken.

"Ah, Mr. Song is right." It's right to ignore him. Song Jiu took the initiative to get close to him, and he was too late to be happy.

"So prepare for the future. If there is an unexpected situation, I hope General Shi will lead his subordinates to approach me."

Shi Gui was very smart. Song Jiu was just in case. I don’t know how many people he had attracted, but there must be Yang Ye. Yang Ye alone was moving forward, and there were more than 10,000 soldiers under his tent, and there were brave generals like Li Jixuan.

So my forehead.

Song Jiu returned to the account and began to write memorials.

I can’t figure out the reason, but if I think about it, there is no need to flatter Zhao Kuangyi too much.

He directly expressed his ideas in the memorial, but when he said that Zhao Kuangyi made a mistake in his strategy, his tone was very tactful.

It was wrong at the beginning. Cao Bin made a mistake and pushed the entire Northern Expedition into the abyss. The generals' struggle for merits was divided. It was not the abyss, but the preparations to push the Song army into the eighteen levels of hell from the abyss, and they would never be reborn!

Therefore, Song Jiu proposed two strategies.

The best strategy is thirty-six strategies, and the best strategy is to withdraw troops immediately and send heavy troops back to the border to prevent the Liao Kingdom from retaliating.

This battle cost a lot of money and money, and it was hard for life to lose money, but the Liao Kingdom was even more uncomfortable.

After several battles, more than 20,000 Liao troops were killed or captured. Yanyun was disabled in most places. I believe that in order to recruit the army from the rear, the Liao Kingdom would have to spend a lot of money. In the future, the troops were disbanded. Will there be no reward at all? I have to ask for money.

After several major defeats, the prestige of the Liao Kingdom was declining and the divisions were centrifuged. In the future, the Song Dynasty would have a lot of room for operation and instigate them to rebel.

Maybe because of Yelu Xiu Ge's correct approach, he would hide in Youzhou City, and he could also send scouts to spread rumors that Yelu Xiu Ge was the only official position of Yu Yue in Liao Kingdom, and was timid and afraid of trouble, and did not dare to fight, which led to the devastation of Yanyun. Xiao Yanyan might be angry and punished Yelu Xiu Ge so that the Liao Kingdom could destroy the Great Wall.

Also, it is that when the Liao army is not reached, it can capture and plunder the people back. However, this Song Jiu has not written, which has both advantages and disadvantages. If it is a good hijack, it will work. If it is a bad hijack, the Liao reinforcements may be hit, which may drag down time.

It is not necessary to take down Yan Yun. In fact, if such a Northern Expedition was carried out three or four times, it would drag the Liao Kingdom down, which might directly lead to the splitting of the Liao Kingdom. There is no need to fight, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan Yun also returned to the arms of the Song Dynasty.

The worst strategy is to occupy.

It wasn't that it was too late to occupy Youzhou, and Cao Bin didn't have the ability to conquer Youzhou.

Instead, he immediately sent several imperial edicts to force the two armies on the east route to move, some to border defense, and some to Feihu Pass, and divided the troops from Feihu Pass into two routes, one to Weizhou, and the other to Yunzhou, concentrating superior forces to fight against the Liao Kingdom. After repelling the Liao army, he repaired the fortress and even renovated the ancient Great Wall, occupied Feihu Pass and Yunshuohuan Yingwei's five prefectures. After two or three years of governance, the people surrendered, and the border defense was consolidated, and then he was able to constrain other states.

It is good to expand the territory, but Song Jiu was worried that it was too late. Maybe when this memorial arrived in the capital, the Liao army reinforcements might have rushed straight to Weizhou. Secondly, the two armies on the east road were ineffective and the soldiers were frustrated. Then they went to the back of the mountain and were in short supply. The soldiers might not only not be able to defeat the Liao army, but they would be defeated. Therefore, Song Jiu said that it was the worst strategy and it was best not to take it.
