The spring rain suddenly appeared again, and even just a drizzle was enough to shake people's hearts, because the weather had a great impact on the war. Therefore, the armies of the Song and Jin Dynasties held a pre-war military meeting in advance almost at the same time, and held the last discussion before dawn.

.

But before that, just as the officers from both sides gathered together in accordance with military orders, Gao Qingyi and Taishi Nu in the Jin camp took the lead in finding the location of a secret tent... This is the labor envoy in the direction of Yanjing, and the Privy Council has agreed to do so.

Hong Ya's camp, the latter arrived together with Jiagu Wulibu, accompanied by a cavalry force of 10,000 households hastily improvised from outside the pass and Yandi, which was the one hundred that the Song army saw yesterday afternoon.

A conspiracy.

However, Gao Qingyi and Taishi Nu came here today not to look for Hong Ya, but to take away the two prisoners who were originally planned to be taken back to Yanjing by Hong Ya.

"Why does King Wei want them now?" Hong Ya, who couldn't possibly be asleep, frowned instinctively when he heard Gao Qingyi's words.

"The King of Wei wants to kill them to sacrifice the flag." Taishinu spoke before Gao Qingyi, simply and directly.

Hong Ya was startled for a moment, then glanced at Gao Qingyi for confirmation, who nodded slightly.

After receiving the verification, the minister and minister remained silent for a moment, and there was no movement at all.

Seeing this appearance, the Taishi slave couldn't help but urge: "Hong Chengzhi, this is the order from the King of Wei himself! If you don't want to lead the way, just give me a message, and I will go and pick him up myself."

After hearing this, Hong Ya just sighed, turned around and led the two of them to his back tent, and then directly came to a small tent with soldiers standing in front, back and left.

The soldiers received the signal to enter, but in just a moment, they took the two prisoners, one tall and one short, one green and one medium, out of the tent, and then stood by the torch in front of the tent door... Obviously, these two people did not rest.

The Taishi Nu nodded and signaled the soldiers to take the people and follow him.

"Wait a minute." Just as the soldier dragged the two of them, Hong Ya suddenly stepped forward and spoke. "The King of Wei is confused... No matter whether we win or lose this battle, these two people are useful as messengers...

…Leave the two of you here, I will take care of everything.”

The grand master's slave was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, Gao Qingyi came to his senses a little, but immediately echoed: "Shilang Hong is right...I will also make it clear to the King of Wei if there are unnecessary things."

However, although both of them wanted to protect these two prisoners, and both of them were figures far superior to themselves, Taishinu thought for a moment and still shook his head: "This is a time to fight for the sake of one's breath, not to calculate the interests.

At that time... Moreover, the King of Wei had made it clear that he wanted to chop down the captives and sacrifice the flag. When we go back, the King of Wei will directly call for people to come on stage and be killed. Do we need you and me to explain it in front of more than a hundred soldiers in the army? I'm afraid that will happen by then.

If one of them is not good, you and I may be thrown directly into the flag-sacrifice!"

Gao Qingyi was helpless for a moment.

When the two men held hostage by the soldiers knew that they were about to be sacrificed, they froze... But soon, the tall young man tried to stand up straight and maintain his composure, but the short middle-aged man did not.

He looked a little dazed for a moment.

"If that's the case, just take one person with you... Killing one person is enough to explain!" Seeing the different reactions of the two prisoners, Hong Ya shook his head, worked up his wits, and tried his best to confront each other. "This Yu Yunwen belongs to Zhang Rong.

The son-in-law, a close minister of Zhao Song’s official family, will be of great use... Even the Meng’an people don’t know who is who!”

Gao Qingyi woke up again and agreed again.

The master's slave obviously didn't want to argue with these two men. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and ordered the short middle-aged man to be dragged away.

However, just as the tall young man, Yu Yunwen, was being held down for trying to struggle, the middle-aged man who had been dragged for seven or eight steps suddenly came to his senses, turned his head and shouted with all his strength: "Yu Tanhua!"

"Commander Bei, are you going to say that your wife and children are young?" Yu Yunwen, who was still struggling, burst into tears instantly.

"Why do you need Yu Tanhua to care about your wife and children?" said the short middle-aged prisoner, the battalion commander Bei Yan who was captured by Ali's troops after the hot air balloon fell and crashed. His face was pale at this time and he was shouting hard while being dragged along.

He said, "I want you not to fall for the Song traitor's trick of luring him to surrender, thinking that once the situation is established, you can just get along with them... In the world of things, if you are one step away from it, there will be two levels of people, heroes and cowards. You are

If you want to be a man of justice, you must not give yourself the stigma of being dishonest!"

Hong Ya's expression changed on the spot, but Yu Yunwen could only cry.

The master's slave was very clever. After dragging the person away, he looked for ropes and linen cloth, tied him up properly, and stuffed his tongue, and then he dared to continue taking the person to the front of the stage.

"Your Majesty, I thought it would be normal to send out troops!"

There were many torches lit in the open space in the front yard of the Huolu County Government Hall, and there were dense crowds of people. No one knew about the incident in Jinying, or it was impossible to be distracted at all if they knew about it. In fact, as soon as Zhao Guan's family and Lu Xianggong arrived,

, the first person stepped forward without waiting for a courtesy, but it turned out to be Han Shizhong, who had been a little quiet since Wu Jie arrived. "Not to mention that such a light rain may not affect the general situation, but it kept falling, and the rain became heavier.

At noon, the bowstring became soft due to moisture and could not shoot steadily. In the afternoon, the ground became muddy again, making it difficult for the horses and soldiers to move. Our army would not suffer any loss! There is no reason for the entire army to retract its fists after gathering strength...

, after all, this battle will make our army more morale and more powerful, I am willing to guarantee the victory of this battle with my life and property!"

Han Shizhong had not expressed his position publicly for a long time. At this time, he was the first to speak out, and his words were direct, and he came forward to give political and military guarantees as the first person in the army... From Zhao Guan's family to Lu Xianggong, at this time, the superiors in the drizzle and fire were

No one among the hundreds of senior military officers, including Li Yanxian and Wu Jie, dared to speak out in defense, so they were kept silent for a while.

Even Zhao Jiu and Lu Yihao were stunned for a moment and could not sit down on the chairs in front of the hall door.

"Everyone."

After a while, it was Zhao Guanjia himself who broke the silence. He sat on a chair in the middle of the hall with an expressionless face. He just pointed his finger at Han Shizhong and then looked around. "Now you know why Han Liangchen is the first in the world, and I am the first."

Is your waist full of guts?!"

Han Shizhong was not polite when he heard this. He straightened up directly and held the jade belt in front of the throne to look at the generals in front of the hall.

In the slightly dim courtyard, there was a sudden explosion... This was not only because of Han Shizhong's impressive spirit, but more importantly, with a word from King Han and a word from Zhao Guanjia, they had clearly stated their attitude and directly decided on this battle.

The most important and fatal decision in the former military discussion.

That means sending troops as before!

At almost the same time, in Dazhai, the center of the Jin Army on the other side of the river, due to military system issues, the number of Meng'an participating in the military meeting far exceeded the commanders of the Song Army on the other side of the Taiping River, so the scene was more grand, but it was inevitably a bit delayed.

After waiting for a while, they finally gathered together in the open space with the help of dense torches, and then became quiet as the soldiers around them patted their armor neatly.

When the scene was peaceful, Ba Lisu prepared to board a temporary wooden general's platform to preside over the military meeting.

In other words, before he became the marshal, Ba Lisubian was resentful because of certain arrangements made by Yanjing's employees to guard against him for a long time. After he became the marshal, he has been releasing his resentment intentionally or unintentionally, while striving for authority and suppressing the ruling party.

The direct descendants of the princes strive to make themselves worthy of the name of marshal.

During the war in the past few months, several men who were raised under Taizu Agu's account indeed proved that these so-called central direct lineage were really inferior to them, the veteran generals from the east and west. At the same time, the situation was getting worse, and it was even more necessary to break away.

Therefore, not to mention the rear, at least here at the front line, in terms of rituals, Wushu respects Ba Lisu more and more, and Ba Lisu can be regarded as becoming increasingly authoritative.

But in this battle, the first one to jump onto the general stage was Wei Wang Wushu. As for Ba Lisu, although he was shocked, he still fell silent in the darkness and was not in a hurry to take the stage.

"Everyone, calm down. I am Wei Wang Wushu, and I have something to say!"

In the drizzle, under the light of the torch, as Wu Shu announced loudly on the stage, the sound of beating armor immediately stopped, and for a while, only Wu Shu's voice could be heard in the surrounding area.

"Why did I call you here so early? Because it's raining again, and some people are thinking of luck again, thinking that the Song Army may not come today... Then of course I have to tell you early, this battle is inevitable! Then

If the Song Army doesn't come today, then they don't have to come, so can we prepare for it as if they don't come?!"

"Besides, no one in the world understands the official Zhao family across the street better than me. If you want me to believe that he won't come, I can't convince myself... I can't convince you! So today, he will definitely come! And he will come again!

Come with his King Wu and his army of hundreds of thousands!"

"You all must follow the previous arrangements today, follow the command of Marshal Bali Su, and prepare for battle early! You can't be negligent in the slightest! Do you understand?!"

At the end of the call, Wu Shu gave a sharp shout, and the people below were silent for a moment. A few people wanted to echo a few words, but they only responded twice and were drowned by the drizzle.

At this time, although it was still drizzling, the sunlight behind the clouds had gradually appeared, and the field of vision became slightly brighter. Wanyanba Lisu finally stepped onto the general platform with a dark face, and scanned the darkness ahead.

The head, the words are surprisingly gentle compared to Wu Shu:

"The war arrangements have been explained clearly, so I won't go into details. Moreover, we are all people who have fought countless battles, and we understand some things... Hundreds of thousands of people are mixed together and spread out for dozens of miles. Once

When a war begins, it will inevitably be chaotic. No one can command it properly, and no one can take care of everything. We can't do it, and neither can the Song army. When the time comes, they will fight on their own, one after another..."

"If I have to talk about something crucial, in my opinion, it is nothing more than to follow the arrangements before the war, strictly abide by military orders, and then try to support each other..."

"Don't count on these reinforcements. The last troops in the camp are used to decide the outcome. When we attack, we will only look at the overall situation. It is impossible to allocate something to you to save the lives of tens of thousands of households and a fierce security."

! Life is life, death is death! You have to rely on yourself!"

Sure enough, in the end, everyone on and off the stage still gradually became serious... There are some things that cannot be avoided.

"Third, after each tribe crosses the river, unless there are other direct military orders from the commander-in-chief, they should immediately launch an attack without any delay or avoidance of battle..."

The sky was slightly bright, a drizzle was falling, and many people's hair was slightly wet. In Huolu County, the Song Army also began to emphasize military discipline related to this battle in the name of imperial edict. The drafter of this battlefield military order was of course Wu Jie

, but the announcer was not Shao Chengzhang, the Minister of Internal Affairs, but Lu Yihao, the Grand Governor of the Council of Ministers. His words were equally gentle and serious, and his effect was equally outstanding.

"Fourth, ministries are not allowed to request reinforcements or retreat innocent people in the name of casualties, but those with advantages should take the initiative to rescue those with disadvantages."

“Fifth, if anyone violates the above provisions and wavers in battle, even delaying the opportunity to fight, everyone from the commander-in-chief to all commanders should take the initiative to strictly enforce military discipline and not tolerate it... If anyone escapes and crosses the river without being seriously injured,

No matter how many people there are, no matter what the reason, they will all be killed without fail!"

After reading this, Lu Yihao, who was sitting in his seat, put away his decree, also glanced at the generals in front, and asked coldly: "Did you hear everything clearly? If you are not clear, I will tell you the truth simply... that is, once the war starts

, no one can care about you, and in the grand chaos of this battle, any unit can be wiped out, because no matter which unit is wiped out, as long as we are the last to win, the remaining troops and horses will be enough.

Sweep Hebei and destroy the Kingdom of Jin. Those who dare to escape in this battle will only be more embarrassed than dead... Therefore, the truth is to learn from the officials' words about the arrangement the night before and ask again, who wants to pay for what?

Words? If you don’t have an opinion at this time, you won’t be allowed to turn around.”

Hearing this, many people focused their attention on the Khitan general Yelu Yujian, who was very close to the front, and King Ximengu, Hu'erzahusi, who was wearing a golden crown. However, they saw that their faces turned pale but they said nothing.

, everyone immediately looked at Qu Duan.

Moreover, everyone knows that compared to other troops, including the Khitan reinforcements and the Mongolian reinforcements, the reinforcements composed of the elite main force of the imperial camp that arrived later are in the worst condition. And in this battle, especially the Song Dynasty

Although the Jin Army has advantages, but the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army is still affirmed and verified, this unit that assumed key tasks later is likely to suffer a very tragic attrition, and it can be regarded as some kind of 'unnecessary' attrition.

So if anyone is trying to make a last-ditch struggle in front of the emperor at this time, it should be them.
To be continued...
