"Is this your plan?" Zhao Qianru said, "Isn't it too risky to do this, we now have a city to defend, there is no need to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army." ”

Cao Xun shook his head and said, "Big brother once said that the so-called art of war is nothing more than grasping the weaknesses of the enemy army and limiting the enemy's advantages, on the contrary, trying to give full play to our own advantages and avoiding weaknesses, nothing more. And now the advantage of the enemy army is that although they are small in number, they are flexible and mobile, and they can form a local advantage, if we defend the city, we will definitely let the Jin army break through one by one, so it is better to concentrate men and horses, and fight with the Jin army. ”

Zhao Qianru said: "But now that we have a decisive battle with the Jin Army, how sure can we win?" ”

Gao Zhen said: "Sister-in-law, this is our advantage. First of all, now there are 25,000 men and horses concentrated in Longxing Mansion, our number is not under the Jin Army, and our three strongest armies, the Ma Jun Division, the Feng Army, the Chinese Army, and the Dianqian Division are all here, we have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Jin Army, and secondly, we have a city to defend, even if we can't beat the Jin Army, it is a big deal to retreat to defend the city, advance and retreat freely, Zhu San, the strength of the Jin Army's combat lies in two points, one is to use the light cavalry army to make a large-scale roundabout, but now we are fighting on our backs, and we don't have to be afraid of the Jin Army's light cavalry being attacked from behind, The second is to use Tiefutu for frontal assault, which the eldest brother has trained soldiers for Tiefutu in Guangnan, and we have a way to deal with it, so we discussed all night before deciding to fight with the Jin army in Longxing Province. ”

Zhao Qianru nodded, and suddenly said: "Since you can distinguish the advantages and disadvantages, then I think that Yan Changyi will also be able to distinguish them, so he may not be willing to fight with us." ”

Cao Xun said: "This is the weakness of the Jin army, don't look at the fierce Jin army now, but they just occupied Lin'an, the foothold is not stable, and now they are coming from a long distance, the supply of grain and grass is difficult, and it is also conducive to a quick battle, and now the Jin army will be stationed under the city of Longxing Mansion, and they are also looking for an opportunity to fight with us, so once they have the opportunity, they should not let it go." If they really don't fight a decisive battle with us, then they will inevitably scatter their army, and we will directly attack Shinshu, cut off their food and grass supply, and see what else they can do. ”

Zhao Qianru thought about it for a while, felt that what the two said made sense, and said, "Okay, then how are you going to fight this battle?" ”

At this time, there were a total of the front division of the palace in Longxing Mansion to destroy the Feng Army, the Ma Army Division of the Middle Army, the Xuan Feng Army, the Guangxi Army to step on the White Army, and the left army of the infantry division brought by Cao Xun and the right army of the infantry division brought by Gao Zhen. The right army of the infantry division was ambushed by the Jin army by the Wuyang River, and most of them were lost, and now there are more than 25,000 people and horses, and if you add the original defenders of Longxing Mansion and a straggler who fled from Lin'an, the total number of men and horses is more than 30,000. However, the quality of the original defenders of Longxing Mansion was obviously too poor compared with the Quang Nam Army, and they could only stay in the city and could not participate in the battle.

Cao Xun said: "This battle is commanded by me and Gao Zhen, we want to lead the Ma Army Division of the Central Army, select the Feng Army, the Infantry Division of the Left Army, and the Guangxi Army will step on the White Army and the Fourth Army out of the city to meet the Jin Army, leaving the Dianqian Division to destroy the Feng Army and the Right Army of the Infantry Division to act as the second echelon in the city." Sister-in-law, stay in the city, watch the battle at the top of the city, and don't go out. ”

Zhao Qianru frowned, and asked again: "The Destroying Front Army is also one of our strongest armies, why didn't we send them to the battlefield at the beginning and use them as reserve troops, isn't it a pity?" ”

Gao Zhen said: "It is precisely because no one will use their most elite troops as a reserve army, once both sides are exhausted, the Destroyer Army can be used as a surprise soldier." And in case we are defeated, there are still men in the city to pick up. ”

Zhao Qianru nodded and said, "Okay, just do what you think." Herald gatherings. ”

After a while, the commanders and commanders of the various armies gathered in the conference hall, Zhao Qianru sat in the center, and Cao Xun and Gao Zhen stood on either side of her.

Zhao Qianru glanced at everyone before she spoke: "Generals, I don't need to talk about the current situation, everyone knows it. Now that Yang is not here, the Jin army is coming to the city again, once the Longxing Mansion is lost, the entire south will be in no danger to defend, the chairman of the Jin soldiers will drive in and occupy the entire Great Song Dynasty, you are all soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, is it difficult for you to watch the Great Song Dynasty being swallowed up by the Jin people, etc., watching your father and wife being controlled by foreign races and becoming other people's slaves? Therefore, we must defend Longxing Mansion and never take a step back. Although I am a woman, I have also made up my mind to fight to the death with the Jin army, live and die with Longxing Mansion, and never take a step back. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Fuwu was the first to stand up, and Shi Li said: "Princess, rest assured, I, Liu Fuwu, am deeply taught by Yang Shuai, this time I stayed in Longxing Mansion to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army, and I will never retreat half a step, if I want to start a war with the Jin army, please let me take the lead for a while." ”

As soon as he took the lead, the other generals couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and they all wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army, and their morale was raised at once.

Zhao Qianru nodded, stood up from the seat, gave a military salute to everyone, and said, "Generals, I am a woman, and I can't go with you to kill the enemy, but when you go to battle, I will personally go to the city tower to cheer for you." Watch you kill the gold soldiers. ”

When the generals heard this, they all saluted Zhao Qianru with their crossed hands, and said in unison: "We are all willing to fight to the death with the Jin army, live and die with Longxing Mansion, and never take a step back." ”

******************************

"The Song army is in battle under the city, wanting to fight us to the death. Should we take on this? Wan Yan Changyi said while playing with the sword in his hand.

Guo Shrimp Toad came out and said: "Lord Supervisor Army, the last general thinks that it is beneficial to fight quickly depending on the depth of our army's lone army, and we have elite men and horses such as Tiefutu and Broken Arrow Army, and the Song army is out to attack, which is exactly what is unwanted, so the last general thinks that it should be fought." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded, he also knew in his heart, don't look at the current Jin army's momentum, all the way to the bamboo, but the battle line is too long, and now it is a little difficult to make a profit. In fact, it was a lone army, and because of the haste of sending troops this time, it did not prepare large-scale siege equipment, so although Wanyan Changzhi entered the Xian and defeated the reinforcements of the Song army by the Wuyang River, he found that Fuzhou City was well defended, and it was obvious that Yijing was ready to defend the city, and he did not attack Fuzhou, but turned to attack Longxing Mansion, in fact, he was looking for an opportunity to fight with the Song army. Now that the Song army has taken the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, it is indeed a good fighter for the Jin army. As long as the Song army is defeated in one fell swoop, it is possible to capture Longxing Mansion in one fell swoop.
