At this time, an unexpected person suddenly spoke and said, "The military strategy is that if you ask for peace without any agreement, you will make plans. If you have plans, you will win if you attack urgently."

Song Jiu looked at it and met Liu Kai, the magistrate of Shangcai.

It is said that he was the fifth generation grandson of Liu Zongyuan, a famous scholar. He once slandered each other with Liang Zhouhan, Gao Xi, Fan Gao and others because he was familiar with Shangchun and ancient times. He was famous for his reputation. He was a pioneer of the retro school. To put it simply, he could no longer write gorgeous and empty parallel prose style when writing articles, but to learn the ancient prose style of Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan. However, his career was far from the first three. Gao Xi and Liang Zhouhan had already achieved success, not to mention Fan Gao. Liu Kai did not pass the imperial examination until the sixth year of Tianbao. He was once the prefect of Runzhou, and was appointed as the inspector and the imperial censor in the palace. This year, he was a angrily fight with the supervisor and demoted to the magistrate of Shangcai.

This is caused by his character. He is a rough person. He claims to be a disciple of Confucius and is friends with Meng Ke, and Qi Yang Xiong and Han Yu. After hearing this, Song Jiu deliberately asked the minor official to send his poems and essays. After reading it, he not only smiled, but it was not bad, but compared with Yang Xiong and Han Yu... Needless to say, how many descendants know about Liu Kai and have read his works? His original name was Liu Jianyu. It is probably not his earlier name. Then he became more and more crazy. His ancestors Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu did not take it seriously, so they changed their name and Liu Kai. I want to set a precedent...

When we arrived in Shangcai County, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians had to consume how much food, grass and supplies, three armies, 200,000 regular bans, and about 100,000 soldiers and archers in the Xiang Township, 200,000 people, 20,000 people on the sea boats, and more than 100,000 people. The materials consumed in a day may be one million kilograms.

Therefore, the rear was not only responsible for paying grain, but also for providing the civil servants. So Liu Kai took the grain and grass to the front line with the civil servants from Shangcai County.

Liu Kai is not considered Yelu Xiuge's attempt.

However, there is a saying among the people: show your kindness without any reason. Either you are traitor or thief.

It's almost the same.

Mi Xin disagreed.

He also wanted to defeat Yelu Xiuge, but although the opponent had few troops, there were all cavalry and there were cavalry in the Song army, but they were trapped in the people and horses. If they chased after him, they would not win, but they might be given a big meal.

Song Jiu also disagreed. That is Yelu Xiu Ge, who will win if he is in a hurry to attack?

Haha, find a Han Xin from the Song army.

But at this time, Song Jiu was also making mistakes, and later generations inadvertently vilified the Song Dynasty. That's right. The Song Dynasty made major mistakes, but was the Song Dynasty really weak? At least the Song Dynasty dared to fight, instead of protesting like a girl every day. The Song Dynasty spent money to buy An, but he did buy An from the Liao Kingdom, instead of spending money to buy An in disguise, but he didn't buy An at all!

So he told Yelu Xiu Ge in his heart that he also talked about national strength and morale. He also talked about the right time, place and people, otherwise Yelu Xiu Ge would lose... but the person who could really defeat Yelu Xiu Ge was still behind the mountain.

However, Song Jiu was more calm than the others. Liu Kai said he could not fight, but Mi Xin said he could not fight. Let's ignore him and continue to attack Zhuozhou City.

Everyone agreed with Mi Xin’s opinion.

However, Song Jiu was thinking about the real reason why Yelu Xiuge asked for peace.

Seeing the Song army conquering Zhuozhou again, Yelu Xiuge was gone. This time the two armies merged, with tens of thousands of impeachment soldiers, tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops, and tens of thousands of civilians. They were almost comparable to the forces at Gaoliang River. If they were arranged in a square formation, they could reach five or six miles wide and six or seven miles long.

Almost nowhere to be seen.

If the formation is chaotic, you can still make a profit, but that's it. The Song army has a neat formation and the troops in his hands can never be easily gained a profit.

The mighty Song army almost flooded Zhuozhou City.

Song Jiu also looked at his scalp and felt numb. He thought of Han Xin and Liu Bang. Liu Bang asked Han Xin, how many troops can I lead? Han Xin said 100,000. Liu Bang asked Han Xin, what about you, Han Xin, the more you are, the better. Can Liu Bang lead an army of more than 100,000? Please see his battle with the Huns.

The less capable you are, the more troops you lead, the more you are like a child pulling a big cart. It’s better to be on the flat ground. If you can’t pull it, you won’t pull it. However, when you are on a cliff, the car will overturn and die!

Anyway, Song Jiu was not sure that he could command so many soldiers.

Not even Cao Bin.

It didn't take long, and Zhuozhou City changed hands again.

Zhuozhou was called Fanyang in ancient times, and the Zhuo River was to the north. The city has abundant water resources and many wells.

At this time, the soldiers were tired and hot, and rushed into the city one by one. They used a bucket to pick up the cold well water and poured it on their bodies. After the watering, they were like a dog, lying on the ground without moving. They were really tired, including Song Jiu, who, regardless of his armor, picked up the well water from the king's pillow with his hands and rushed to his face.

But immediately raised his head and shouted, "No."

Then he hurriedly found Cao Bin, Mi Xin and Cui Yanjin.

In fact, not only the three of them, but also the main force of the East Road, there are also the supervisor Guo Shouwen, and the second road, the Mixin Department, also have three supervisors, Du Yangui, Zhao Yanpu, Zhang Shaozhi and Dong Yuan.

Du Yanguijiu Town is northwest of Zhao Da and Zhao, and he has another identity, that is, the son of Du Shenqiong, the brother of Zhao Da and Zhao Kuangyi, the uncle of Zhao Kuangyi.

Guo Shouwen was the guy who managed the Yellow River to break the dam. He followed Wang Quanbin to Shu and Pan Mei to the Southern Han Dynasty. After Guo Jin's death, his troops entered Shiling Pass and Daizhou. He was stationed in the northwest and repeatedly defeated Li Jiqian. The Yellow River caused him to suffer, but even Song Jiu went down, there was no good way. But this person was very capable and had great military achievements.

Zhao Yanpu, Zhang Shaozhi and Dong Yuan are veterans and brave generals, either becoming famous in the north or in the northwest.

In fact, except for them, Pu Qian, Li Yanyun, Ma Zhen, Fan Yanzhao, Cai Yu, Han Yanqing, Dou Hui, Cao Mei, Chen Yanshan, Yang Ye, Shi Gui and others are all long-standing veterans.

If we force the metaphor, then this battle is like a sheep leading countless lions...

But Cao Bin is qualified, Mi Xin and Cui Yanjin are also qualified. Cao Bin made a mistake and the generals were dissatisfied. Therefore, Song Jiu did not call them. Maybe he hadn't made any promises. Instead, the more he talked about it, the more he could make a big argument on the spot, just like in Xiongzhou.

In fact, Song Jiu thought that others were wrong, but he was himself. Could it be that he really listened to Cao Bin’s mobilization? Not only did he not listen much, but he had already taken action and had a little thought.

In short, the Song army camp is now in a serious out of control with their respective orders.

However, everyone still wants to give Song Jiu a face on the surface. The three of them looked at Song Jiu and Song Jiu said, "General Cao Gong, General Mi, General Cui. Withdraw the troops immediately. It may be too late to withdraw now. If you don't retreat now, the consequences will be extremely serious."

"Retreat the troops?" Cao Bin was displeased. He finally returned to Zhuozhou City and took Zhuozhou again. He wanted to withdraw his troops again?

“不撤回去,也要撤到新城.”

"Tell me the reason," Cui Yanjin said.

He was the deputy general of the main force of the East Road, but he had a complete fall in love with Cao Bin.

"Because Yelu Xiu Ge asks to reconcile."

"If he asks to withdraw his troops?"

"General Cui, do you think the Khitan's first brave general and the third Yu Yue after the founding of the Khitan country. Can he ask our army for reconciliation?"

"No, why did he ask for help?"

"We came from Baigou and harassed all the way. It took almost twenty days to reach Qigou Pass."

"So what? This is a way to stop our army from advancing and make our army's morale depressed. It is a normal way to use troops."

"Why did General Cao start from Qigou Pass and see no harassment, so he let our army arrive at the city of Zhuozhou in four days?"

"Tell me what you think."

"I thought about it, and I had a very bad guess in my mind. The reason why Yelu Xiuge went out of the city to block our army was about to send reinforcements to attack General Tian's central army and General Pan's western army. But we still forgot that one thing in Liao's country was that everyone had soldiers. Although it was impossible to really do it, it was possible to draw 300,000 to 400,000 troops. It was still possible that it would take time and slowly draw from each unit to meet again. One unit might have gone to Sanggan River, but because our army had been delayed for a long time, new reinforcements came.

Da. Our army was also transferred from various places in the rear. After finally coming to Xiongzhou, he immediately entered Gu'an and went to Zhuozhou New City. Then, because of the food and grass, he returned to Xiongzhou for food. The generals were divided and their morale was low. At this time, they advanced into Zhuozhou again, and the soldiers were tired and the three armies were exhausted. Therefore, the Liao Kingdom might change their minds, so Yelu Xiuge simply let us arrive in Zhuozhou and penetrate deep into Liao territory. However, for some reason, the Liao Kingdom reinforcements had not yet arrived, so Yelu Xiuge asked us to reconcile, so that we could win two precious days of time."

"Are you sure?" Cao Bin asked.

Song Jiu was confused.

Confirm? If you can guess Yelu Xiu Ge's intentions, you will have to work so hard, so you simply ask Zhao Kuangyi to go to war as the leader of the journey.

Cui Yanjin thought, while Cao Bin was very unhappy.

Mi Xin was a good man and said, "Let's do this, we send spies to let them explore as far as possible. If there is a turbulence, we can prepare in advance."

Song Jiu was a little reluctant. If he was as he guessed, it would be dangerous for one day.

Cui Yanjin actually wanted to agree, but he had already reached this place and then retreated immediately. Song Jiu was a civil servant and said it was okay, but he couldn't say it himself.

Song Jiu sighed and said, "That's it."

When he came back, he immediately found Yang Ye, Fu Zhaoshou and Liu Zhixin, and even looked for Shi Gui alone, and said seriously: "Once there is a change, try to disturb me."

It was a little difficult. There were more than 200,000 soldiers and horses. The three of them were just one of them. Some were moving forward and some were central troops. However, if you were determined, you would still have a solution.

Maybe Song Jiu was wrong in guessing, maybe Yelu Xiu Ge thought that his request to be a spoiled, and two days later, Yelu Xiu Ge came again.

Zhuozhou City is not very small or large. There are only so many soldiers and horses in the city, and many soldiers and horses are stationed outside the city.

Yelu Xiu Ge came to harass him again, Mi Xin laughed and said, "Xiao Jiu, you are wrong. Yelu Xiu Ge was exhausted by this man who deliberately asked for peace. Now the arrows are coming from behind, and he is coming to make trouble again."

Mi Credit uses the term "make trouble".

Cao Bin and Cui Yanjin didn't say anything.

When he arrived at the front line, Song Jiu realized that Zhao Kuangyi had made a serious mistake in employing people, that was, to put Cao Bin and Cui Yan together.

Cui Yanjin was very old. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, there were three yamen and four generals. The first was Zhang Qiong, and then Cui Yanjin, Liu Guangyi and Han Chongyun. Cao Bin had not yet made a fortune at that time, and there was no conflict between the two sides. But it was also a problem, that is, Cui Yanjin was really old and was afraid of people. If it weren't for Bashu, it wouldn't matter. Then when he arrived in Bashu, Cui Yanjin and Wang Quanbin were the northern army and Cao Bin were the eastern army. Because Cui Yanjin and Wang Quanbin burned, killed and looted in the war against Shu, Wang Cui was demoted together, and Cao Bin stood out.

It doesn't matter yet.

Over the years, Cui Yanjin has been stationed in Hebei and fought with the Liao Kingdom many times, with significant contributions.

Zhao Kuangyi did not let him be the commander, but only let him be the deputy general, or Cao Bin's deputy general. Cui Yanjin was depressed in his heart.

If Cao Bin had the ability, it would be fine, but Cao Bin did not have it, so Cui Yanjin in Xiongzhou brought many rebellious generals to the scene.
