Song Qi's hatred for Emperor Yan and the Yan Kingdom seemed to be an indelible memory, deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul and melted with his blood and bones.

In the battle of Kaifeng City, he was severely injured by Emperor Yan, and was forced by Cao Aman to cross the street rats, which could not help but lose face, and made him brave in the southern and northern wars, with heavy casualties.

He mentally hid this breath and couldn't swallow it.

Even though in the winter, he led his army to easily annex the Chen State and establish great military exploits, it still could not eliminate the hatred and anger against the Yan State in his heart.

Now, to resolve the anger in his heart, the only way he must personally lead the army to level the Yan army, defeat all the generals of the Yan army, and inflict heavy damage on the Yan Emperor, otherwise, the anger in his heart will definitely not be calmed, let alone eliminated.

Hearing this, the empress slowly stood up from the dragon chair, her face was calm, and she asked tepidly: "Song Qi, Yan Jun is definitely not Chen Jun, you can't play with it, are you sure to defeat Yan Jun, have you investigated Yan Jun's flaws?"

The Song State gathered troops and attacked the Yan State, which was related to whether the Song State could lay the foundation for hegemony and the northern pattern.

You have hatred in your heart, I don't have it, but you and I must not be blinded by hatred and lose our minds to think about things."

For a moment, Song Qi couldn't help but look up at the empress, and noticed that the empress looked calm, and her tone was unquestionable, silent for a while, and he didn't know how to refute the empress.

At present, he took the initiative to invite Ying and led the army to attack Yan, but he did not know Emperor Yan with only one blood, did not investigate the flaws of the Song army, and did not have a suitable method.

However, the Yan army was strong, the tactics of the Yan army generals were changeable, and they could change their tactics in battle, and the battlefield met, and the two armies of Yan and Song fought and defeated the Yan army, he was not sure.

However, Song Qi believed that the Song army's annexation of the Chen State would increase its military and economic strength, and the Song army's morale would be low and swept away, and it was time to take advantage of the Song army's momentum to recover and increase its combat strength to lead the army to storm Yan.

It's a pity that the empress's resolute attitude made Song Qi's plan stillborn before he could say it.

Song Qi was stunned and silent, Meng Kuo moved forward and stood up, glanced at Song Qi, and suggested to the empress: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that at present, we should not only try to defeat Hou Mingfeng's army, but also try to eradicate the southern Zhao Hongru army.

Otherwise, the two Yan army corps, like sharp knives, stabbed into the body of the Song State from different directions, making the Song State lose immeasurable military and economic losses.

What's more, the Yan army formed a powerful force in the Song Dynasty, and at that time, it was even more difficult to eradicate this army, and if it could not be eradicated, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Mengkuo's words are by no means untargeted.

Compared with Hou Mingfeng's Yan Cai, Zhao Hongru, and Zhao Jun led the infantry cavalry coalition army, the combat effectiveness is not bad, and it is almost equal to the strength of Yan Cai.

The danger caused by the meeting of these two armies is by no means one plus one equals two, and the chances of the Song State changing the current situation and transferring the battlefield to the Yan State will be very small.

On the dragon chair, the empress heard the voice, and also knew what kind of combat effectiveness Zhao Hongru's legion was.

After all, among the generals of the Yan State, Zhao Hongru's status is second only to Hou Mingfeng, and before Feng Shihu, Zhang Yu, Bai Yisheng and other generals.

In addition, when the Yan State rose, Zhao Hongru established supreme military merits, and various indications proved that this person's military ability was extraordinary.

If she dares to ignore the existence of Zhao Hongru's army, in the near future, Zhao Hongru defeats Guo Wanshan and is bound to lead the army to Kaifeng.

Taking a breath secretly, the empress asked: "General Meng, do you think that Guo Wanshan led the army and could not stop Zhao Hongru in the south, if so, do you have any good suggestions, how should we defeat the Yan army?" ”

Yan and Song contended, the empress had the idea in her heart, and took the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, striving to force the Yan army to leave the Song country, and the Song army took the opportunity to quickly go out to regain the lost territory and guide the battlefield to the Yan country.

At that time, the Song army galloped freely in the territory of Yan State, attacking and retreating.

Meng Kuo pondered, Song Qi witnessed, and was secretly unhappy in his heart, the empress's attitude was clearly biased in favor of the army, and deliberately distrusted him.

Continue, who dares to guarantee that the empress will not secretly stumble on him when she conquers the Yan Kingdom.

At this moment, pay attention to Meng Kuo's contemplation, if he has no good advice, he will make his own suggestions again.

When Meng Kuo thought for a while, he spoke respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of Yan and Song is by no means without a solution, on the contrary, there is a suitable way.

The last general suggested that the initial plan to attack the hinterland of the Yan army should be broken, and instead, the attention should be shifted to the south of the Yangtze River."

"General Meng, the Yan army stationed hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers south of the Yangtze River, regardless of Lin Xiao, Zhang Yu, Xing Yike, Bai Yisheng and Li Lin, they are all fierce generals in the army, and it is extremely difficult to deal with. It is not without difficulty for the Song army to lead its troops to the south." Hearing Meng Kuo's words, Song Qi immediately refuted.

He did not agree with Meng Kuo's proposal, in addition to his selfish intentions, it also included his long-term experience in leading troops to fight.

Meng Kuo turned around, glanced at Song Qi, and continued: "Your Majesty, what the prince said is true, however, if the Song Kingdom gathers all the water divisions, arrives at the Yangtze River, and takes the lead in attacking the southern part of the Yan Kingdom south of the Yangtze River. Song Shuishi may not be able to defeat Yan Shuishi.

Once Emperor Yan learned of the intentions of the Song army, once the southern part of the Yan State was defended and controlled, a large number of Song troops broke in, which would inevitably cause the Yan State Manchu Dynasty to be shocked.

The last general guessed that Emperor Yan would definitely mobilize the Yan army stationed in Jiangbei as soon as possible and rush to help.

The number of Yan troops has decreased sharply, the north of Yan is empty, in order to ensure that something similar to the military uprising will happen again, in order to ensure that Yan is not invaded by foreign enemies, Emperor Yan will definitely mobilize Hou Mingfeng or Zhao Hongru to return to the division to defend Yan State.

At that time, we took the opportunity to pursue, or concentrate our superior forces, to annihilate the Yan army that remained in the Song State. ”

The empress listened to Meng Kuo's suggestion in detail, and was quite satisfied with it, and frequently bowed her head.

However, her pretty face was still full of doubts, and she got up and asked: "General Meng, what Song Qi said is true, there is a Jin State Gonglin Xiao in the south of Yan Kingdom, and there are fierce generals such as Zhang Yu, Xing Yike, and Bai Yisheng by his side.

Commanding hundreds of thousands of Yan troops, with a chain of deployments in five cities along the Yangtze River, it is extremely difficult for our army to attack from the Yangtze River. ”

Sensing that the empress refuted Meng Kuo, Song Qi got involved and asked coldly: "That's right, has General Meng ever thought that in addition to the hundreds of thousands of troops left in the south by the Yan army, there are also the Yangtze River moat as a barrier to sway the warships of the Yangtze River.

If the Song army attacked the southern part of Yan State, it would inevitably fight fiercely with Han Xiandang, startling the snake and causing an armed war between Yan in the north and south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Your Majesty, if the three kingdoms of Wuyue and Song are united, if they change their established plan and take the lead in attacking the southern part of Yan State, there is Wu Yue's army to contain the Yan army in the southeast, and in addition, the alliance army of the Three Kingdoms will attack the water division of Yan State on the river, and they will definitely defeat Han Xiandang.

At that time, the Yanshui Division was destroyed and the Song army landed, which was bound to make the Yan army difficult to take care of. Meng Kuo was not convinced, and Daoming suggested himself.

In an instant, the empress was silent, Song Qi was silent, Jian Ye also moved out, hugged his fists and said to the empress: "Your Majesty, General Meng's suggestion is very appropriate, if Wu Yue attacks in the south, he will definitely not miss the opportunity to take revenge.

Then. The Three Kingdoms attacking Yan will become the Four Kingdoms attacking Yan, and the Song Kingdom will face pressure, which will be greatly reduced, and the chances of victory will also increase. ”

"That's right, if the Yan army loses the war of resistance in the south, there will inevitably be more southern vassal states that will take the opportunity to fall into the well and carve up the territory of the Yan State in the south." Tian Xu agreed with Meng Kuo and Jian Ye's proposal and took the opportunity to agree.

The words of the two interrupted the empress's thoughts, and the empress asked, "General Meng, what are the chances of your plan?" What should the Yan army do if it doesn't withdraw, don't forget, Emperor Yan himself is extremely cunning, and his generals and ministers are all treacherous and cunning, so they must be guarded against."

Although the empress was wary of Song Qi, she supported Song Qi's suggestion when changing the established plan.

After all, Meng Kuo's proposal was all based on the withdrawal of the Yan army, however, what if Emperor Yan did not withdraw the army?

"Your Majesty, the last general proposes, at least nine points certain, by no means without purpose." Meng Kuo was full of confidence and said categorically: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yan is bound to win the south, so he will never allow the south to lose."

"General Meng, you seem to have forgotten that the Yan army successfully countered the rebellion, at this moment, Feng Shihu, Heng Bangchang, Huang Puxuan, Lei Jieying, and the blade soldiers, hundreds of thousands of troops, are stationed near Yanjing City, and the south is threatened, and Emperor Yan will definitely take the lead in sending these troops to the south, rather than transferring away from the army attacking the Song State."

"General Song, if Emperor Yan dares to fight on two fronts, it will only accelerate the consumption of Yan's strength, which is more beneficial to the Song army." Meng Kuo retorted mercilessly.

As the saying goes, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, the Yan army is strong in combat and is still afraid of long-distance two-front battles.

Hearing Meng Kuo's explanation, the empress was very moved.

However, Meng Kuo suggested that the involvement was very wide, and the slightest carelessness would cause a full-scale attack by the Yan army in the north and south.

At that time, the Yan State could not help the southern princes, and it was possible to vent his anger on the Song State.

The Song State provoked a war, fearing that it would be thankless.

Sensing that the empress was still hesitating, Meng Kuo replied: "Your Majesty, if you plan properly, you will successfully transfer away the Yan army that stormed the Song State, and as for the southern war situation, it will also change in favor of the Song State." ”

"In this way, whether it is possible to unite the Chu State, if the Chu Emperor sends troops, the four kingdoms of Chu, Song, Wuyue and Yue will carve up the southern territory of the Yan State, and the chances of victory will be greater." The Empress asked.

"Your Majesty, by all means, Emperor Chu is a person who is eloquent and strategic on the surface, but in fact he is insidious and despicable, cowardly as a mouse, when Cai and Chu were united, and Cai was in danger, Emperor Chu not only sent troops in time as agreed, but instead sent Xiong Kui to form a defensive line on the northern border of Chu State,

In this way, it can be seen that Xiong Wu is unreliable, and if he unites with him, it is better to win, once defeated, Emperor Wu is afraid that he will be the first to evacuate.

Wei Chen felt that the Song State should not involve too many forces, especially a king like Xiong Wu, with him, it was easy for General Meng's plan to change. ”

"That's right, Han Zhitong, the general of the Chu State, died on the battlefield, Yue Yunshan surrendered to the Yue State, and Han Xiangzi took charge of the military power of the Chu State.

This person has a deep relationship with the soldiers, everything is to the soldiers, and Weichen heard that the soldiers can have a place on the Chucai border in the near future, and they have an inseparable relationship with Han Xiangzi.

Therefore, if Chu and Song are united, in the end, it is possible for the Chu State and the soldiers to enjoy their success.

What's more, Wu Yue and Chu have always had a disagreement, and the alliance between Song and Chu will inevitably cause Wu Yue to be dissatisfied, and he will take the initiative to drag on in the war, and even refuse to ally with Song, but the gains outweigh the losses. Jian Ye echoed.

The three cronies suggested that the empress probably had a decision in her heart, and said categorically: "In this way, according to General Meng's plan, act quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

At this time, Lin Shuying especially hoped to see Yan Guo besieged by Wu Yue Song, would Lin Feng be furious, his face was bitter, thinking about it, she felt nothing, and it made her happier than this.

Without the slightest hesitation, the empress instructed the prime minister: "Qin Ming, you temporarily put aside government affairs, lead the Song State Naval Division, go to the Yangtze River, and attack the four cities along the Yan River."

Song Qi led the army to move to the south of the Song State, if the prime minister led the army to defeat the Yan State Water Division, Song Qi immediately led the army to cross the river to the south, if the Prime Minister attacked, and the Yan Water Division stalemate, Zhao Hongru led the army to aid the south, Song Qi you led the army to pursue the Yan army, recover the lost territory, and strive to transfer the battlefield to the Yan State.

If the prime minister is defeated, Song Qi will lead you to block Zhao Hongru in the south. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will never live up to Your Majesty's trust, and will definitely defeat Han Xiandang and let Yanshui Shi be buried in the Yangtze River." Suddenly deprived of the position of prime minister, Qin Ming panicked in his heart, worried that the empress would send him to lead the army to fight on the Yangtze River, and there was the idea of permanently depriving him of his power and expelling him from the court.

However, the battle of the sailor division is very important to the Song State, if he wins, he will be the number one siege of the Song State, and the empress seems to be promoting him again.

Qin Ming expressed his position, but Song Qi was displeased, and he was puzzled in his heart, and asked: "Your Majesty, there is Guo Wanshan's army in the south, and the last general asked to lead the army to fight against Hou Mingfeng." ”

At this moment, the empress sent him and Qin Ming to the front line, which made Song Qi very suspicious.

Hearing this, the empress said tepidly: "Song Qi, your going to the south to fight is very important to the Song State, although Guo Wanshan has military merits, it may still be difficult to be competent, only if you personally lead the army to the south and fight against the Yan army, I will breathe a sigh of relief, and I don't have to worry about the defeat of the Song army."

Besides, I have arrangements for Guo Wanshan,"

"Your Majesty, the last general dares to ask, where does Your Majesty plan to let Guo Wanshan go?" Guo Wanshan is the only complete descendant army left under Song Qi's account, with a large number of elites and strong combat effectiveness, and Song Qi does not dare to lose this elite.

Now, the empress asked him to lead the army to fight in the south, but he was transferred from Guo Wanjun's army in the south, which couldn't help but deepen Song Qi's inner suspicions.

It was very surprising to transfer Qin Ming to leave Kaifeng City, and sent him to the south, the two of them had staged a coup d'état and imprisoned the empress in the palace.

Hearing this, the empress chuckled, guessing that Song Qi didn't trust her, and said without hesitation: "General Song, the Yan and Song conquests are extremely important to the Song Kingdom, I will not be involved in personal grievances, and I hope that General Song will not be suspicious."

In order to ensure that General Meng won a complete victory, once the war began, Guo Wan needed to lead the army from the south to the north, and by surprise, defeat the Yan army. Song Qi, do you have any objections? ”

For a while, Song Qi had nothing to say, the empress didn't care about personal grievances, if he was obsessed, it would make the empress suspicious, and hurriedly hugged her fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is eloquent and strategic, and the last general has no objections." ”
