The fall of the north shore soon spread to the capital.

After Li Qi learned about it, in addition to helplessness, he was still helpless, even if he already knew that the daimyo prefect did not follow his orders and organize the soldiers and civilians to escape, but when the enemy attacked, he sent soldiers to flee south, so that he left a lot of armaments and materials for Wanyan Zongwang, but he was not angry, because this was all within his expected range, and how much he got was earned.

In the country of the Song Dynasty, once there was a war, the only thing you could trust was yourself.

In fact, where does he not know the importance of the Daimyo's Mansion, he has also tried to control the Daimyo's Mansion many times, but unfortunately it is a pity, the key Daimyo's Mansion is all relatives of the emperor, the system is quite perfect, ironclad, and it is impossible to meddle in it at all, think about it, that Dengzhou is so far away from Feng, it is so difficult to do, let alone the Daimyo's Mansion.

And he can't make it too obvious, otherwise others will definitely think that he has other plans.

When he really mastered the military power, the Jin army had already driven to the city of the Daimyo's mansion, and there was no chance for him to remedy it, all he could do was resign himself to fate, the only thing that made him sad was the hundreds of thousands of people, but, isn't war just like this, that is, it is to die, that is, innocent people will be implicated, no matter how powerful you are, you can't stop this qiΔ“ from happening at all.

Since he thought that these would make him miserable, Li Qi simply didn't think about it, anyway, it was useless, and hurriedly gathered all the generals and convened the first military meeting of the highest-ranking generals who took up the post of supreme commander of the Kaifeng Defense War.

The purpose of the meeting was how to defend Kaifeng Mansion.

Li Qi sat on the main seat, and sat a large and small general, although it was the highest-level general meeting, but most of the people below were young soldiers. is dominated by the leader of the forbidden army, which is also deliberately arranged by Li Qi, because the veterans in the capital are all highly respected and Tong Guan. Either it's Cai You's people, he has few military achievements, and it is difficult to convince the public, so he simply doesn't use these people and lets the forces he cultivated come to the stage, in fact, this disaster undoubtedly gave him the best opportunity.

Li Qi took a sip of tea. A serious way: "I believe you all know, the Daimyo Mansion has fallen, we have also lost control of the Yellow River domain, Kaifeng City is completely exposed to the enemy's field of vision, the enemy soldiers are only a matter of time before the city is approached, I don't know what you have to do to defend against the enemy?" ”

This daimyo mansion fell. For Kaifeng, it is very demoralizing news, a cadre of soldiers, you look at me, I look at him, dare not talk nonsense, because they all feel that the enemy's momentum is like a rainbow. The fate of this Kaifeng Mansion is hanging by a thread, and the slightest difference may cause a devastating blow.

In the end, Yue Fei stood up and said: "Returning to the commander, the last general thinks that the enemy's morale is high, and our army should avoid its edge, relying on the thick walls of the outer city of Bianliang and the 150,000 forbidden troops in the city, resolutely defend and not fight." Outside, the walls are clear, and there is a war of attrition with them, as long as they can't get in, this drum will be exhausted. Three declines, and sooner or later they will retreat. ”

Although Yue Fei had no experience, he was a proud protΓ©gΓ© of the Seed Master's Dao, and in the face of this situation, he made the most accurate judgment.

Niu Gao and other generals also felt that there was no other way but to consume and grind each other to death with the Jin army, and they all agreed with Yue Fei's point of view.

Although Li Qi is the supreme commander, and these generals are very obedient to his orders, these generals also know that Li Qi is a cook after all, although he is extremely smart, but he is not literate or martial, and he still has to listen to their opinions about this war, and all the deployments of Li Qi a few days ago seem to indicate that he wants to guard to the death, and they all feel that this combat strategy is correct, so they fight.

Unexpectedly, Li Qi suddenly shook his head, a little dissatisfied, which made the soldiers a little confused.

Li Qi Zhengse said: "Although I have said more than once that as long as we can defend Kaifeng Mansion, we will win, but I have not said that we must strictly defend it, which is the so-called defending the city." ”

Yue Fei looked surprised and said curiously: "Then I don't know what Bu Shuai means?" ”

The corners of Li Qi's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "I thought that we should not only collect the outer city walls, we should push out the defense line, arrange the defense line on the outskirts of the city, form an offensive defense, and be ready to counterattack at any time." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers were shocked, and they went out of the city to face the battle, which they had never thought about.

Liang Xiong, the commander of the guard horse, hurriedly said: "Bu Shuai, this move is absolutely inappropriate, absolutely inappropriate, now the enemy army is taking advantage of the situation, and their cavalry is very brave, if you go out of the city to meet the enemy, the chance of victory is less than one percent." ”

All the soldiers did not approve of Li Qi's approach, you left the city wall and did not defend it, and ran outside to fight, aren't you looking for death, will you fight?

Niu Gao was absolutely obedient to Li Qi, Li Qi pointed to where to fight, but at this time he was also a little confused, and said: "Bu Shuai, if that's the case, then why don't we stick to the Yellow River in front." ”

Li Qi explained: "The Yellow River is still some distance away from Feng, if this front is too long, it is difficult for us to look at each other, the enemy army is mainly cavalry, mobility is far better than ours, it is not easy to deploy, plus the Daimyo Mansion has fallen into the hands of the enemy, we have no time to deploy, therefore, I choose to give up the Yellow River, but I have never said to give up an acre of land in Kaifeng Mansion, since we want to defend Kaifeng Mansion, then we must defend every inch of Kaifeng Mansion, not just a city." ”

Yue Fei said: "I don't know what the intention of Bu Shuai's move is?" ”

Li Qi stood up and said loudly: "My reason is very simple, the enemy army only took more than a month to fight the Yellow River, coupled with the destruction of the Liao State in front, the momentum is strong, if we blindly defend the city and be beaten passively, this will undoubtedly boost the arrogance of the enemy army, and it is absolutely undesirable to appear that we are very weak."

Not only that, although we have more than 100,000 troops and millions of people on our books, we have been passively beaten for a long, long time in the past, and the vast majority of these hundreds of thousands of troops have never fought a war, and most of them are recruits, and their combat capability is not high. They have no combat experience, and the results of the past battles against the Jin army must have cast a shadow on their hearts, although I know that everyone's determination to resist the war is unquestionable, but if they dare not go out to fight. Cowering in the city, no one can control the situation when it really starts, and once the morale of the army is shaken, the situation will inevitably get out of control. ”

The soldiers felt that Li Qi's words also made some sense, but most people still felt that Li Qi's move was too risky. Liang Xiong said: "Bu Shuai." Although what you said is reasonable, the last general always thinks that this move is like gambling, and it is too risky. ”

"That's actually the safest thing to do." Li Qi waved his hand and said confidently: "You must remember that soldiers are not trained, but fought." Blood flows, and a true soldier is one who has a bloodthirsty instinct, not a mercy. Fighting against the Jin Army, which gives us a precious opportunity, is willing to fight and dare to fight, to fight to the death, there is a key difference between the three. First of all, we have to play with momentum, so that the soldiers can complete the transformation in the flames of war, this is also the fastest way to progress, I want to let my soldiers from fear, fear, to be willing to fight, to dare to fight, and finally to be fearless, with the determination to die to meet the Jin army, only so. Only then can we see the dawn of victory, and the future. There is a way that the brave wins. Sun Tzu's art of war is also cloudy, brave and cowardly, and powerful. If it is the courage to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle. How can this battle be fought?

Even if it is in the war of words, if we blindly defend, the enemy will easily blockade us, cut off my contact with all kinds of reinforcements, if the enemy encircles the point to send reinforcements, it can still kill us in the field, we have no way at all, in addition, there are granaries and pastures in the suburbs, these can not be lost, rather than so, we should first push out, in this Kaifeng suburbs and the enemy to fight to the death, even if we spend the cost of 100,000 troops, train 100,000 troops that can compete with the Jin army, it is worth it, We can still find an opportunity to annihilate the enemy, although there are risks, but risks are always accompanied by benefits, and I think that this battle will either not be fought, and if it is to be fought, we must muster up the courage to fight. ”

He did not fight, but he is good at pondering people's psychology, he understands very well that the Song army has been afraid of the Jin army, in the face of the Jin army, there are psychological defects, so it is necessary to improve the self-confidence of the soldiers, he never wants his soldiers to meet the battle with a scared mentality, which will make the Song army fall into infinite passivity, this "infinite" also contains the future, obviously he is by no means satisfied with the victory of this battle, he considers the overall situation more, so he mentioned the word "courage" more than once.

Liang Xiong and they read the military books, of course, they understand the truth of "courage and cowardice, and the momentum is also", the two armies fight, what they pay attention to is the momentum, once the momentum is overwhelmed, it will have the most direct impact on the results of the battle, but when they face the Jin army, they are afraid in their hearts, and the subconscious in their hearts tells themselves that they will never be able to defeat the Jin army, so the first thing they think of must be to defend to the death.

"Speaking of which, haha!"

With a burst of hearty laughter, I saw a person coming in from outside the house, it was the regent Zhao Kai, and as soon as he came in, he said: "A good narrow road meets the brave wins." Bu Shuai is right, we can't hold a heart to win, we should have the heart to annihilate the enemy, to fight this battle, we not only have to win, but also to play the momentum of our Song army, so that the Jin army for their contempt, pay a heavy price. ”

He faced a group of ministers in the palace who wanted to make peace, he shouted and fled at every turn, and sent people to sue for peace at every turn, which made him have a headache, and Li Qi rarely went to the court, and he was even more difficult to support, and he couldn't even find a person with a common language, and if he stayed any longer, he had to get depression, and he still liked to be with these generals.

This military general was so angry when he heard this, he was ashamed, a prefect who had never been on the battlefield and a pampered prince still had such courage to dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle, but these soldiers who fought on the battlefield seemed to be timid.

Where have the battles been fought in the past few years, or even more than ten years!

Yue Fei was very angry with himself, and he was even more ashamed of his complacent strategy just now, this was really going back more and more, standing up and hugging his fists and saying: "The last general is willing to go out of the city and fight to the death with the enemy army." ”

Niu Gao and other cadres also got up one after another, showing their determination to fight to the death, preferring to die in battle, never retreating, and defending every inch of Kaifeng Mansion.

Under the encouragement of Li Qi, he quickly unified his operational thinking and completed his first mission.

The next step is to point out the troops, Li Qi directly deployed all the hundreds of thousands of troops in the suburbs, expressed his determination, and ordered people to step up the training of the militia to guard the outer city wall. The sixteen city gates of the outer city of Kaifeng Mansion are divided into 16 areas, derived to the suburbs 50 miles away, and the towns, villages and those fortresses, high ridges, and bridges in the suburbs are used to form a defense system.

Li Qi himself is in charge of Kaifeng Mansion and dispatches troops, as for Zhao Kai, of course, he arranges logistics and deals with those ministers. (To be continued)
