The struggle of the reborn prince

The weather is changing very fast. After a cold snap, the river has already started to freeze. If they don't evacuate, the Haizhou navy will have to stay in Xijing for the New Year when the river freezes.Fortunately, they didn't keep them waiting. On the third day after the Jin army's night attack, news came from Busan that the Mingzhou navy had escorted the material transport fleet to Busan port, and was now escorting the tiger general to the mouth of the Yalu River. The State Navy went to rendezvous...

"Marshal, all the naval forces have withdrawn from Xijing, and their strength has dropped sharply. Can we hold Xijing?" Looking at the Haizhou Navy Fleet sailing away, Jin Fushi said rather worriedly. With the navy as the main force, the force also accounted for as much as half, and this move can be described as a great loss of strength.

"The river is about to freeze, and the navy has to evacuate, otherwise they will be trapped on the Datong River!" Zhao Yong said. Now that the joint headquarters of Song and Koryo has been established, he has become the commander of the joint forces of the two countries without hesitation, but he is not satisfied with the situation. He has always had reservations about Jin’s battle plan. It’s not that he’s superstitious, but that Koryo has surrendered to Jin for many years. There are many pro-golden supporters in the government and the public. The expedition also lost its meaning.

"Yes, but the lord hopes that we can repel the Jin army as soon as possible and restore the country. He has issued an edict to me several times, and ask the commander to retreat as soon as possible!" Jin Fushi said, he was dissatisfied with the Song army who only defended but did not attack. , was appointed as a deputy, and was very dissatisfied with serving as a general.However, due to the relationship between the two countries and the will of the lord of the country, he could only reluctantly accept it for the sake of Koryo, but after all, he felt uncomfortable. Now that the war has not started, the navy has withdrawn in large numbers, and he can't help complaining about Zhao Yonglai in his words.

"Hehe. The commander-in-chief understands the intentions of the lord and the lord, but things happened in a hurry when he sent the aid. The food and supplies he brought were limited, and they were not enough to support a big battle. Now the transport fleet has arrived at Busan Port, and please organize the husband's service as soon as possible. Transport it to Xijing, so we can make a decision!" Zhao Yong said with a smile, but he was also very depressed in his heart. In the past, he never had to worry about things like eating, drinking, messing up, external ditches and internal connections. The emperor had already made arrangements, and his own officials were in charge. , I just need to find a way to fight a good battle.But now he needs to come forward to coordinate.

"The commander-in-chief is very worried. The old man has already ordered the state capitals along the way to recruit husbands and send troops to escort him. He is already on the way!" Jin Fushi said, saying yes, but feeling uncomfortable in his heart. This excuse made him unable to continue The matter of speeding up the battle.

"It's best, but your army still needs to speed up the march and get to Xijing as soon as possible. I thought Wushu would definitely launch an attack when the water army retreated. We have to make preparations as soon as possible, and we need to rely on adults!" Zhao Yong said that he didn't want Gaoli to just be a bystander watching him fight the Jurchens to the death, but to be like the Khitan people in another Xijing.Let their hands be stained with the blood of the Jurchens as well, and stop thinking about making peace with the Kingdom of Jin, and they can only follow the Song Dynasty in the future.

"The commander-in-chief already has a plan to defeat the enemy?" Jin Fushi and Zhao Yong went back to the Yamen together.asked.

"The current situation is not optimistic. Wushu is not a man with a false reputation. He is in charge of the military and political power alone. At this time, he has mobilized [-] elite soldiers to attack Goryeo. The navy has nearly [-] large and small warships, and the number of troops is no less than [-]. It can be said that it is inevitable. However, since the Song Dynasty is far away, it is difficult to mobilize more troops to come here for a while. The supply of supplies depends on sea transportation, and it coincides with the approaching cold winter. When the seaport is frozen, we will not be able to obtain domestic support. I have to retreat." Zhao Yong knew that Jin Fushi was looking for his own cards, if he didn't say anything, it would cause his suspicion and it would not be conducive to future cooperation, so he simply complained to him first, so as not to make him think that victory came too easily .

"Well, the Jin army is coming so fiercely that I, Gao Li, can't stand it, so I have to invite the commander to come!" Gao Li was beaten into such a cowardly way, why didn't she know that the Jin army was powerful, so she could only agree.

"Although the Jin army sent troops to Korea, it is backed by the country, and the supplies are convenient, and reinforcements can be dispatched at any time. Our army is going on an expedition from the country, so we must choose the right time to hit the right time, drive the Jin army back to the country, restore the border, and take advantage of the danger. Guard, otherwise it will be a protracted war, and the consumption cannot be replenished, and the Jin army only needs to increase its troops to besiege and drag us to death this winter!" Zhao Yong helped Jin Fushi go down the city, and then analyzed.

"The commander-in-chief is really a master in the art of war. A few words will make the old man suddenly understand. Please give me any orders!" Zhao Yong just helped Jin Fushi out of inertia, but it greatly satisfied the old man's self-esteem. Under the eyes of everyone, the angel took the initiative How much face is it to help him go down the city? Even the king of the country will personally greet him when he sees him. His attitude has changed drastically!

"Although our army is brave, we still rely on the support of your army here, and your army is not incapable of fighting. The most important thing at the moment is the low morale!" Now that the old man opened his mouth, Zhao Yong was not polite, and directly pointed out the combat strength of the Korean army. low place.

"How does the commander-in-chief think about restoring morale?" Jin Fushi knew that Zhao Yong's words were true. After the border was lost, the whole army retreated, and their morale was utterly fearless. This issue was also his concern, and he sincerely asked for advice.

"At this time, the country is at the point of survival. First of all, the ruler should face it together with the army and the people, and not have the heart to escape by chance; secondly, I heard that there are a lot of voices for peace talks between the court and the Jin Dynasty. How can the soldiers be willing to use their lives if the monarch and ministers are uncertain? Furthermore, I see that the top and bottom of the city cannot be united. Some people hold their elbows. , we have already lost before fighting, so we still need the mediation of adults!" Zhao Yong expressed his worries in a tactful manner.

"Yes..." Jin Fushi nodded and fell silent. He knew what Zhao Yong said was right. If these matters are not resolved, we can't rush to start a war...

The Jin army's two attacks both failed. Although the losses were not large, their morale was greatly affected. As a result, there were rumors of withdrawing troops in the camp, which made Wushu have to reconsider the current situation. Now the Song Dynasty navy has become their indispensable Overcoming obstacles, not to mention trapping Song Shuijun to death, can drive them away by chanting Amitabha.If it really doesn't work, you can only withdraw the troops.

"Grand Master, the navy of the Southern Dynasty has withdrawn!" Just as Wu Shu was thinking hard about defeating the enemy, Sa Lihe broke into the tent and said.

"What?! The navy of the Southern Dynasty has withdrawn?" Wu Shu suddenly stood up and said in disbelief.

"Grand Master, it is true that they have withdrawn. Since the early morning, all the naval forces of the Song Dynasty have withdrawn, not even the ones in the city are left behind, even the naval forces that robbed the water fortress have been withdrawn with the boat!" Sa Lihe was very sure. said.

"Why, you said, why did they withdraw suddenly?" Wu Shu stared at Sa Lihe and asked in a deep voice.

"It's because the weather has turned cold. They must be worried that the river will freeze and be blocked in Xijing City!"

"Is that because Song Jun and Gao Li fell out?"

"Is it because there is a shortage of food in the city, and the Song army can only withdraw..." Sally said a few reasons, but Wushu still looked at him fixedly, making him feel terrified.

"By the way, it's because the grand master strategized, and the navy of the Song army fought so hard that they couldn't stand the wind and fled!"

"Well, that's right!" Wu Shu finally nodded with a smile on his face, "Pass on my commander-in-chief to reward Da Tabu Ye and all the warriors, report to the emperor and ask for credit for them, and issue an imperial order!"

"Yes, this subordinate understands, let's do it immediately!" Sali saluted and waited until he got out of the handsome tent before wiping off the sweat from his forehead. He was terrified just now, but he finally figured out what Wu Shu was thinking.

The army was blocked by the city of Xijing for nearly a month and was unable to move forward, and was defeated by the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty in a row.And the Song army just withdrew at this time, and he just took advantage of this to save face. Who would really think that the Song fleet would withdraw suddenly.At the same time, this matter can also be used to stop other people's mouths, which shows that it is not for nothing, and the propaganda that the Song army was beaten so that they dare not fight anymore is just to boost the morale of the decline, so that they can fight again, so he did not hesitate to make such an order. A despicable feat...

…………

The battle reports about Korea were filled with Zhao Tun's books, and he had read them all, but he didn't have a single word of instructions, nor did he issue any instructions, all of them were placed there intact, as if they had never been moved. , which made Jianxi and the others very strange.

"Hehe, this feint shot was well used, and the timing of the withdrawal of troops was also chosen well. That is to say, the appetite of Wushu was hung, so that he could not be unhooked, and it bought time for the Haizhou and Dengzhou navy to annihilate the Jinshui army, and it was stable. Live in Korea!" After reading the latest battle report, Zhao Tun threw it on top of the pile again.

"Second Master, Brother Yong has sent letters several times to ask your opinion on the war in Korea, but you have always called back to the Privy Council, and Brother Ren dare not make judgments arbitrarily. It is difficult for us to send it back and forth!" Jianxi couldn't bear the emperor's behavior, so he couldn't help asking.

"The strategy has been set. Zhao Yong and I have the full authority to deal with the war in Koryo. How to use troops is the mediation of the Privy Council. How to do it is their business. They just think I am not busy!" Zhao Tong said.

"Second Master, but they are afraid that they won't do well, so they still want to listen to your teachings!" Jian Xi thought the emperor was being lazy again, and said with a smile.

"Well, in the past, I was a prince, and they were the leaders of the generals. It was my duty to personally command every battle. But now I am the emperor, and I manage a country, so it is impossible for me to attend battles in person all the time. They are no longer just The pawn who led the charge was the general who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. If I waited for my decision to make a decision and missed the opportunity of the battle, wouldn’t it be that I, the emperor sitting in the temple, was allowed to command blindly? Now I let go of them and they will do it Is it good?" Zhao Tun sighed, as if he was explaining to Jianxi, but also as if he was telling himself... (to be continued...)
