The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 117 Determining a good strategy

Just as Cui Yanjin left, there was another quarrel in the room.Just listen to Zhao Yanjin said: "Master Cui, the officials entrusted us with the affairs of the border, let us do things cheaply, just to conquer the enemy. Now that the enemy's cavalry has arrived, we are still arguing here. If we arrange the formation according to the formation plan, A distance of a hundred steps between each battle will surely make the entire army scattered like stars and fall into a critical situation. Under such circumstances, the soldiers are all panicked. If the Liao army takes advantage of the situation to attack, what should we do? In my opinion, it is better Merge these armies into one place and divide them into front and rear formations. Only by forming a joint force can we be sure of victory. It is better to defy the imperial edict and defeat the enemy than to follow the imperial edict and be defeated, let the Liao army take control of the Central Plains, okay?"

Cui Han sneered and said, "General Zhao, since you made it so clear, why did you let the soldiers line up according to the map? Now that the Liao army is not far from Mancheng, even if you want to change the formation, it may be too late!"

Zhao Yanjin glanced at Liu Yanhan, then bowed his head and remained silent.However, Cui Han asked persistently: "General Zhao, I didn't mean to pick on you. Even if we really disobeyed the imperial decree and put all our forces together, would we really be able to defeat the enemy? In case of failure, the officials If the blame comes down, who will bear the blame?"

Zhao Yanjin was so annoyed by Cui Han's question, he couldn't suppress it, and said loudly: "If there is a defeat, Yanjin alone will take the blame!"

Cui Han sneered again, "General Zhao, the only person sitting in this room is you with the lowest official position. I'm afraid the official will really blame you, and you can't afford it!"

Zhao Yanjin's cheeks flushed, and his breath became a little disordered, but he was speechless to refute for a while.Li Jilong smiled and said: "Lord Cui, I agree with what General Zhao said. If the officials blame me for this, I, Li Jilong, will take care of it. Now you can rest assured, right?"

Hearing that Li Jilong was willing to take responsibility, Cui Han nodded slowly, but then asked: "Master Li, even if the army changes, it will take at least a moment. If the Liao army comes to attack during this period, how can we resist?"

Li Jilong pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.Cui Han looked at Zhao Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, and Liu Yanhan again, and asked, "Three, you are all dissatisfied with the official formation, if you really want to temporarily change formation to meet the enemy, which one of you can buy a moment? "

The three of them shook their heads helplessly when they heard the words, "Lord Cui, we have no other choice. If we can't, we will use the official formation to meet the enemy. At worst, we will be shrouded in horse leather!"

At this point in the debate, the atmosphere in the room was unavoidably tense, and everyone could clearly hear their own breathing and the beating of their hearts getting faster and faster.Before the few people met the enemy, the defense line in their hearts was about to be overwhelmed by this oppressive atmosphere.

"Hahaha!" Wan Jianfeng burst out laughing suddenly, everyone was startled by his laughter, Qiqi turned his eyes to Wan Jianfeng at the door, only to realize that there was a man in a suit standing at the door at some time. A young man in Taoist robes.

Cui Han stood up first, and walked over full of hostility, "Who is the idiot, who told you to come here to eavesdrop? If you tell the truth, this general will spare your life, otherwise you will never walk out of this gate again! "

Wan Jianfeng pinched his fingers, and said calmly: "My Daoist was invited by Master Cui Yanjin. I also understand what the generals mean. Apart from wanting to live, I don't want to die. That's easy. I have a plan." I can buy you a moment of time, but I have one condition."

Li Jilong asked curiously: "Master Taoist, are you serious?"

Wan Jianfeng nodded, "It's a puppy to lie to you, but you must agree to my conditions."

Cui Han said without thinking: "Just tell me, I will agree to you no matter what the conditions are."

Wan Jianfeng pointed in the direction of the death cell, and said: "My Daoist had a dream the night before, in which he said that someone had imprisoned Doumu Yuanjun in the Mancheng county government office, and he was going to be executed in the near future. My Daoist After waking up, I pinched my fingers and counted, and it turned out to be the case. I came to the county government office early today, and I saw a faint light of blood above the place from a distance. I knew that Lord Yuan had committed a crime, but unexpectedly it was due to this matter. Come on. Alas! Let me tell you this, the girl in the prison is her incarnation, you should release her quickly. If you don’t do what I say, you will die in battle.” Teacher Chen Tafa These few sentences of his are really a bit long, I don't know if he didn't memorize them all, or he felt that this way of speaking was a bit awkward, so he simply made up nonsense at the end.

Cui Han thought for a while, and said: "Okay, isn't he just a death row prisoner? As long as the city can be saved, the lives of countless people and soldiers can be saved, the general will let the county magistrate release them. But you must first tell us, you want What method do you use to win this quarter of an hour, if you dare to make nonsense, I will kill you right away!"

Wan Jianfeng said calmly: "The best way is to pretend to surrender. I can go to Han Kuangsi on behalf of you, and Lao Er Han will definitely believe it. You should take advantage of this time to change your formation generously. When you finish changing your formation, Then go directly to the Liao army and make sure that every shot is accurate."

Li Jilong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Although this method will damage the Song Dynasty's military prestige, soldiers never tire of cheating, and this is the only way up to now."

Wan Jianfeng smiled, and said: "Master Li is really smart, he knows everything! Hurry up and find military uniforms for me, and I will go meet those Liao dogs." After he finished speaking, he He grabbed Cui Han and said, "If I am killed by that old man Han, then my life will be regarded as paying for Yuan Jun's life. I hope you will let her go."

Cui Han knew that there was no time to hesitate any longer, so he could only say: "Okay, this general promises you, you go and change clothes, and leave the city immediately, please surrender!"

Wan Jianfeng smiled at him and said, "It's a false surrender!"

Zhao Yanjin raised his thumb to Wan Jianfeng, and then led Wan Jianfeng out of the room to change clothes.Seeing Wan Jianfeng leaving, several people had mixed emotions in their hearts. They were not only despised for using such a trick, but also grateful for the opportunity to defeat the Liao army.
