Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Perhaps in the eyes of Li Qi, Yue Fei and other new generals, this first confrontation is really embarrassing, shameless, and embarrassing. But if it is an experienced commander such as Seed Master Dao and Tong Guan, they will not feel any surprise at all, is there still less jokes made by the Song army, this is definitely normal, when the army was sent to attack Liao, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out by thousands of remnants of the Liao army, this kind of thing can be accepted calmly by the Song Dynasty, which shows that the Song Dynasty's ability to resist attacks is very strong, and they are all accustomed to it, Li Qi This is just a pediatric.
The base camp of Yan Zongwang is just behind, and when he first heard that his side had captured the opponent's position, he couldn't help but be shocked, thinking to himself, this must have killed a lot of people, so he hurriedly sent someone to ask Liu Yanzong, I asked you to harass, you give me the truth, you just have these 3,000 soldiers and horses, in case they are broken by the enemy one by one, it is too dangerous.
But when he heard the report of the sentry who came back, he was stupid for a while, and then, there was laughter in the military tent!
Seeing that the Song army was so unbearable, Wanyan Zongwang didn't plan to play false, and immediately marched at full speed, preparing to set up camp in the west of Kaifeng, but he didn't send people to continue to harass, because he also knew that the Song army must have hidden the elite behind, and there was no big point in making a small fight, and it was a waste of time.
In this first battle, when the Jin army suffered less than fifty injuries, the Song army was killed and wounded by hundreds of people, and this was under the premise that the Jin army was mainly harassed, if the other party came to the real one, the loss would at least double.
There was laughter in the Jinying, but strangely, there was also jubilation in Kaifeng City, and it was obvious that the helpless Li Qi had told a white lie to these people.
In this regard, Li Qi has made a series of publicity, which is his strength. He certainly won't give up. First of all, what Sanya declared to the outside world, the Jin army attacked our camp last night, but then our army quickly repelled the Jin army. The Jin army was defeated and fled, and the Great Song Times Weekly also published this news. Anyway, there's no limit to bragging.
Because that night, there were indeed many people who saw Yue Fei leading people to chase him, and they were indeed chasing Jin Jun running, and even brightened the sky, there must have been a fierce battle, and everyone was convinced of this.
Morale boosted!
The people were cheering and toasting. Full of confidence!
Li Qi also has no way, if the people know that this first battle will be fought to achieve this virtue, then the people's hearts will be discouraged. Not good for yourself.
But this "tentative" battle, for Li Qi, was far greater than the loss, which couldn't help but boost the morale of the Kaifeng army and people, and also let him see clearly the gap between himself and the enemy. It was much bigger than he had imagined.
However, he did not choose to back down, and immediately dispatched troops to redeploy Liudian and Gaoshangang, after all, the Jin army left after the battle. They didn't occupy those two places, and they didn't even destroy the defenses there, because the Jin army was also taken by surprise.
For the attacking side, they are more inclined to attack at dusk, in the middle of the night, or when the weather is favorable to their side, and generally do not attack during the day, so the day is very precious for Rich, and he has no sleep all night, and at dawn, he personally rushed to the front line to inspect the three armies.
Once this war starts, whether it is won or lost, it will be full of mourning.
There were wounded everywhere, and some medical personnel were bandaging them, but there was no fear on their faces, after all, we had repelled the Jin army yesterday.
Li Qi asked, "What is the movement of the Jin Army?" ”
Yue Fei said: "According to the report from the spies, it was really the vanguard of the Jin Army last night, and it was only a tentative attack, this morning the main force moved to the west, it seems that they are coming towards Mu Huogang, once they break through the first line of defense, then they will directly face Mu Huogang." ”
Li Qi frowned slightly and said, "What countermeasures do you have?" ”
Yue Fei is very advocating offense in his bones, but this battle is like this, he doesn't dare to carry too much subjective will, and said cautiously: "In the opinion of the last general, we should shrink the defense line and defend the second line of defense with all our might, if we lose again, the army's spirit may be shaken." ”
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I must not retreat, I have finally improved my morale, this retreat, even if it was a waste of work last night, I would rather let them walk over on our corpses, and never let them swagger over, only hatred can cover the fear in my heart, I want the soldiers to know what is going on in this war, if you want to keep yourself from bleeding, you can only let the enemy bleed, only rush up and fight with the enemy, is the best way to save your life." Moreover, what I want is not to defend, but to attack, we have to find a way to take the initiative, and only a big victory can allow the soldiers to completely walk out of the shadow of the golden army. ”
After inspecting the barracks, Li Qi returned to the city, those who lied, will feel empty-hearted, even Li Qi is no exception, he must see the reaction of the people with his own eyes, in order to put his mind at ease, I saw that the people on the street are all very excited, talking about last night's war, it is foaming at the mouth, as if they have witnessed this "big war".
Seeing Li Qi coming, they rushed over, congratulated one after another, and praised Li Qi with a thumbs up, which made Li Qi so embarrassed!
At the beginning, the six such as the general Jin Jun described it like the devil, plus the Jin army has fought the Yellow River this month, the soldiers and people in the capital are afraid of it like a tiger, and now this fight, let's chase these devils to run, the Jin army is just like this, what is there to be afraid of, what dragons and tigers, it is simply bullshit, and the six such things must fool people.
Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief, but he also knew that this lie would not be hidden for long, and when the Jin army called again, he would not be given this opportunity, and he still had to speak with real force.
"See Bu Shuai."
After Qin Hui received Li Qi's notice, he rushed over as soon as possible.
"No courtesy."
Li Qi nodded and praised, "You did a good job." ”
Qin Hui was neither humble nor arrogant: "My lord has won the award, this is the duty of the lower officials." "He is one of the few people who knows the real situation last night, and he personally arranged all this propaganda work.
Now Qin Hui has finally got what he dreamed of, that is, power, you must know that the Bureau of Commerce is only aimed at merchants and trade, but Kaifeng Mansion is in charge of things in Kaifeng. Of course, he will cherish the current qiē even more, and he will also know how to make use of this qiē.
Li Qi said: "It's good that you can think like this, you still have a lot of work to do." Remember, when people are weary. It is easy to slacken, and you must always spur the army and the people without the slightest slackness. ”
"Xia Guan understands."
Li Qi asked again: "By the way, how is the food arrangement?" ”
Qin Hui said: "Please rest assured at this point, because the previous adults signed contracts with those grain merchants, now the price of grain has been very stable, and the people of Kaifeng can buy grain very calmly." And the refugees from other places, with the food you bought as adults, plus the food brought out by the ministers, are barely a little. It shouldn't be a problem to hold on for a month. It's just that. ”
Li Qi said: "Just what? ”
Qin Hui said: "It's just that in a few days, there will be a shortage of meat and vegetables, so that now some people have begun to sell rat meat, and. It's more expensive than pork before the price increase. ”
Most of these vegetable gardens are in the suburbs, but now that people have come to the city, of course no one grows vegetables, and most of the meat is transported from the Western Xia and northern regions, and all the channels are cut off all at once. With so many people, there will definitely be a phenomenon of scarcity.
"Rat meat? These bastards, Lao Tzu is here to prevent the plague, and the fuck will create a plague for me. Li Qi snorted and said: "You must put an end to this phenomenon, but if you sell rat meat, you will be arrested and interrogated by Kaifeng Mansion and given severe punishment, and those who commit it again will be executed." ”
"Yes."
Li Qi said again: "But about this aspect, you don't need to worry, don't forget our Drunken Immortal Residence's artifact, canned food, take these fresh ones first, and when these are finished, I will take out the canned food, but I still mainly soldiers, I can't die if I don't eat meat for a few days." ”
Qin Hui nodded and said, "Yes." Xia Guan knew what to do. ”
Qin Hui accompanied Li Qi to inspect the city and returned to Kaifeng Mansion.
But when they entered the palace, they found that there was a distinguished guest sitting in the hall, who was the regent Zhao Kai.
Li Qi was curious: "Your Highness, when did you come?" ”
Zhao Kai said lightly: "Not long after I arrived, I sent someone to the barracks to look for you, and I knew that you were here, so I came directly." ”
Qin Hui saluted and said, "The lower officials see the regent." ”
Zhao Kai squeezed out a slight smile, nodded and said: "Qin Xuezheng is exempt from courtesy, these days, you have really worked hard, and thanks to you, you can take care of this city in an orderly manner, not bad, not bad." ”
Qin Hui hurriedly said: "This is all the guidance of the adult, and the subordinate is just following the instructions of the adult." ”
Zhao Kai said: "It is not easy to meet the requirements of your prefect!" ”
Qin Hui thanked him again, and then retired under the pretext of excuses, knowing that he was not qualified enough to participate in this supreme decision-making circle.
After Qin Hui went out, Zhao Kai glanced at Li Qi and said, "This person is indeed a talent!" ”
Li Qi smiled: "It seems that gold can shine in anyone's eyes." ”
Zhao Kai smiled, then put away his smile, and said, "What was the battle situation yesterday?" ”
Li Qi sighed: "If you count it according to the strength of the enemy's attack, it can be said to be a heavy defeat, but judging from the results, we can say that it is a big victory." Then he explained the process again.
Zhao Kai frowned when he heard this, and said: "I already knew that we were inferior to each other, but I didn't expect that the difference was so far." ”
Li Qi shook his head helplessly and asked, "What is the reaction of the minister of the DPRK and China?" ”
Zhao Kai said: "It's a concealment, they don't even dare to go out of the city, I just talk about it, they believe it, sadly, many people have built me, and quickly sent people to sue for peace while taking advantage of the big victory." ”
Victory? Looks like I'm overbragging. Li Qi said helplessly: "Then what do you say?" ”
"What else can I say, I can only prevaricate a few casually."
This is like this outside, and this virtue inside, Zhao Kai's mood is inevitably not affected, and he sighed: "When you mentioned that you would arrange the defense line to the suburbs, it was almost unanimously opposed by the ministers, if it were not for the military power in our hands, I am afraid you would not even be able to get out of the city gate, this is just a tentative attack of the enemy, if the enemy army really fights, it is good to win, if you lose, you will definitely become the object of the ministers' verbal criticism." ”
Li Qi said: "Your Highness, don't you want to retreat?" ”
Zhao Kai said: "Of course not, how can I, Zhao Kai, be that kind of person, I can't wait to go to the front line by myself, I just hope that you have a bottom, don't be affected by them when the time comes." ”
Li Qi smiled: "Your Highness, please rest assured, they will not come to me, they will only impeach me in front of you, you should be prepared." ”
Zhao Kai thought about it, it was really like this, and he couldn't cry and laughed: "Forget it, forget it, don't think about it, I feel a headache when I think about it, if I provoke me, I will imprison them all in the palace." ”
The enemy's army was overwhelming, and he felt a little depressed, he had just taken office, and he desperately needed a real victory, not a lie.
Li Qi's heart was like a mirror, and he said with a smile: "That's not necessary, Your Highness, keeping these peacemakers with them may become a winning card in our hands." ”
Zhao Kai's eyes widened and he said, "What do you mean?" ”
Li Qi said: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, even if we lose nine times before, only the decisive battle, we can win, that is enough." ”
Zhao Kai said: "Of course I know this, but this qiē is based on whether we can hold this Kaifeng Mansion first." ”
Li Qi said with a resolute face: "Don't worry, we are all clear about the enemy's means, but our methods, the enemy is not very clear, this first line of defense should be practiced, this second line of defense is the most important thing, this war has just begun." ”
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "Okay, the front line is all up to you, I will find a way to solve this rear, you just let it go, don't worry too much, and don't inform me of everything, so as not to delay the fighter." (To be continued)
