When the Song State established itself, there were many generals good at fighting. Perhaps later generations would think that Yue Fei and Di Qing were the number one military generals of the Song State, but for Cai Yan, Zong Ze was the number one military general of the Song State, not because Zong Ze was so capable, but because Zong Ze was the general of the world, because he was not a conventional person, which may have a lot to do with him not a serious military general.

After the Jin soldiers went south to encircle Kaifeng for the first time, Zhao Gou was appointed as the marshal of the Hebei army. Zong Ze once persuaded Zhao Gou not to enter the Jin camp in Cizhou, and then Zhao Gou turned to Xiangzhou. Therefore, Zong Ze and the governor of Xiangzhou Wang Boyan were both deputy commanders.

Later, when it comes to whether to send troops to rescue Kaifeng immediately, Zong Ze insisted on not rescuing him for the time being, first seized Li Gudu and threatened the Jin soldiers' retreat, which then caused panic of the Jin soldiers and retreated to attack Li Gudu, which was a plan to siege Wei and rescue Zhao.

When any army is cut off from the rear, the morale of the army will be more or less unstable. However, the Jin soldiers at this time did not have to go to Li Gudu. After Wanyan Zonghan took over Hedong and Luoyang, the Jin soldiers could completely go to Hulao Pass, Luoyang, Hedong and Bingzhou. Moreover, the territory of the Song State was rich and could fully support the Jin soldiers to fight outside for one year.

The Jin soldiers would not worry about the severance of the rear. What they could worry about was that the army was outside, the Tatars and Liao people were rebelling and rebelling in an empty territory.

Zong Ze insisted on his own leadership to seize Li Gudu, and therefore Zong Ze lost his position as deputy commander and made Huang Qianshan, who was only the best to deliver letters.

After Zong Ze captured Li Gudu, he found that the Jin soldiers did not take the retreat seriously at all, and entered Zhao Gou's military camp again, hoping that the Hebei army would go south to rescue Kaifeng. However, at this time, all reinforcements were afraid of the Jin soldiers and were unwilling to rescue them. Zong Ze led an army alone to rescue them.

For Zhao Gou, the veteran Zong Ze was a general who did not comply with military orders. When the official sent a order to rescue Kaifeng, he had to say that he would not save him and had to run to Li Gudu. After the reinforcements were frustrated and feared, he was determined to send troops to rescue him. If it were another history, although Zong Ze repeatedly defeated the Jin soldiers, he was not trusted by Zhao Gou. In the end, he could only cry out "Cross the river, cross the river, cross the river" when he was dying.

Not following the orders, but fighting in the crisis of the world is what Cai Yan values ​​the most.

After all, the soldiers led by Zongze were still imperial guards, xiang army, baojia army, and recruited soldiers under the control of the Song State. Even if he wanted to achieve something, it would be difficult for him to achieve something. The young general under his name was different. The world was in chaos and the people's hearts were also in chaos. There were many independent generals, rebels and bandits in Jiangbei and Jiangnan. At this time, the Yue family army was almost like Yue Fei's private army, and only twelve gold medals were called back by Yue Fei. If the Yue family army was really the imperial guards of the early years, they would not need so many gold medals to summon.

Kaifeng was right in front of him, but Yue Fei finally gave up because of the king's order. If it were the veteran Zong Ze, Cai Huang believed that the veteran Zong Ze would definitely take down the lost Kaifeng in one fell swoop. If he had the chance to regain Hebei and Bingzhou lost its territory, the veteran general would definitely not hesitate.

Although Yue Fei was loyal, he missed the only chance to regain his national fortune.

Family, country, world.

Which one is more important?

...

Cai Yan looked at the old man sitting in the middle for a long time through the opening of the store door, and hesitated for a long time before stepping into the store. He sat silently beside the old man, not caring about Yue Fei who could kill him at any time behind him.

"The old general lives near the boy, can't he think about assassinating the boy in one fell swoop?"

The old man's legs were slightly separated, and the big Malaysian golden knife looked at Fang Tianding, who was pressing his hands on the hilt of the knife, and said disdainfully: "The little pirate is also afraid for a day?"

"hehe……"

Cai Yan turned his head to look at the old man with white hair, then turned to look at Yue Fei with a cold face, and sighed: "If there was only General Yue, the little pirate would be really scared, but the old general was beyond ordinary people."

As he said that, Cai Huang was a little puzzled again, his body leaned slightly closer to some old men, frowned and said, "The old general only brought more than ten servants to Cizhou, but General Yue joined the disciple when the old general wanted to rescue Kaifeng. The old general really optimistic about General Yue?"

Zong Ze frowned slightly and suddenly said, "You little pirate value Pengju so much, so why can't I?"

Cai Yan opened his mouth, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It turns out that a person is old and the boy still has a doubt. I wonder if the old general can solve the doubts?"

Zong Ze just raised his eyebrows...

"On that day, the Jin army divided its troops and headed south. Wanyan Zongwang was in a state of great power. Although he had broken through some cities, the old general should know that even so, without some time to manage the city of Song State, it would not be possible that the capital of Song State would be truly reunited. It would be easy to take it back with cater to inside and outside."

"The 100,000 Jin soldiers were divided into two groups. Although this 100,000 army cannot be said to be all the elites of the Jin Kingdom, it is not much different. The military strategy is to attack the enemy and rescue them. The old general wanted to seize Li Gudu and wanted to cut off the Jin soldiers' retreat. It was barely considered a place to rescue them when attacking the enemy. But the old general should know that even if the old general took Li Gudu, he could not stop the Jin soldiers from returning to the north."

"First, the Jin soldiers can enter Luoyang from Hulao Pass and Bingzhou from Luoyang; second, when the old general knew that the Jin soldiers surrounded Kaifeng, they had already grasped the three inches of Song State. As long as they captured Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, they held Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son in front of the general, should the general be relaxed or not? Can the old general bear the responsibility of two generations of officials to die because of the old general?"

Zong Ze's expression suddenly changed, but Cai Huang just smiled.

"The veteran general led a army to Li Gudu. It was just wishful thinking that the Jin soldiers would cut off their retreat, because the Jin soldiers were not afraid of whether Li Gudu was lost."

"The safer approach is to follow the public. Zhao Gou said rescue, and the old general would rescue him; Zhao Gou said he would not save him, so he would not save him. In this way, even if he was ineffective, there would be no mistake. Anyway, there was a big Zhao Gou on his head, and he would carry it down the sky."

"you……"

Zong Ze was about to be furious, and Cai Huang grabbed the old man's thin palm and smiled and said, "Talking is just chatting, why is the old general still angry?"

"snort!"

Zong Ze snorted coldly, not willing to pay attention to Cai Yan.

"hehe……"

Cai Yan smiled, and did not care about the old man's attitude. He smiled and said, "Safe, the mean approach is to follow the public, and Zhao Gou, who has great merits and demerits, is to bear it alone. Although he cannot block the female direct person's way back north, the old general will not be angry with Zhao Gou because he did not obey the order. At least the old general is the deputy commander of the Hebei Army. His subordinates can be used several times as soldiers as the old general leads his troops south alone. With the record of the old general going south alone, if the soldiers are in hand, it may not be necessary to let the old general kill him to the city of Kaifeng."

"This victory is over. The female savager will no longer be able to look south of the Central Plains. If you are defeated, as long as the old general severely injured the female savager under Kaifeng City, it will not only enhance the morale of the Song State, but also find it difficult for the female savager to face the Yellow River again. The only thing that does not keep the chaos behind them will be enough for them to have a headache."

"So, regardless of the final outcome, this result will be better than the veteran general going south alone to rescue."

...

"Zhao Gou is the marshal, the veteran general, and Wang Boyan is the deputy general. Wang Boyan is just a literati. If the veteran general is the deputy general, he only needs more support for Zhao Gou. The veteran general must be the de facto commander of the Hebei army. No matter what the result of the battle to go south, it will be better than the veteran general leading the army south alone."

"A more radical approach is to lead troops north, and while surrendering the Song Dynasty city that was captured by the Jin soldiers, they also created various rumors, such as proclaiming the defeat of the Jin soldiers in Youzhou, such as supporting the Liao generals to secede the throne and claiming to be kings... The old general occupied Cizhou, and as long as they intercepted the messenger from north to south of the Jin Dynasty, or even used people to pretend to be messengers to convey various false news, which aggravated the concerns of the Jin soldiers surrounding Kaifeng, aggravated the chaos in Youzhou and the grasslands."

"The messenger intercepted and killed halfway. At the same time, the old general led tens of soldiers north to rush into Youzhou. Even if he was just pretending, the Jin people in the north and south were uneasy, he might have to return to the stable territory."

Cai Yan sighed, "The old general also knew that the boy stabbed the girl Naomi in the butt. He knew why the girl Naomi had deposed Zhang Bangchang again, and he knew why Zhao Gou ceded the entire Jiangnan and our Ming Kingdom."

"The female Nao people are just like my Daming Island. They use small to make big fortunes and swallow elephants with snakes. Although they seem to grow rapidly, they are extremely dangerous. They cannot afford to suffer the consequences of only one heavy blow. Once they are severely injured, countless rebels will inevitably rebel in the country."

"In the boy's opinion, no matter whether it is a good match... or even flattering Zhao Gou without any bottom line, or going north to attack the empty Youzhou, it is not too bad. Even if he dies or is wiped out, the result is not too bad."

Cai Yan smiled at Gu Qinniang who was carrying a food box and said, "Qinniang knows it. My husband talked about the difference between strategy and tactics in the first lesson of "Hangzhou Wushu Primary School". Whether it is flattering Zhao Gou without limits or going north to attack Youzhou, these are not important. What is important is that the ultimate strategic purpose is to defeat or severely damage the female savage, which is a dispute over the fate of the world."

Gu Qinniang didn't care about others being by her. While putting the meal in front of him, she smiled and said, "What my husband said is that when Song State failed to obtain the complete Liao Nanjing, Song State had already lost its national fortune."

Gu Qinniang delivered the served meal to Cai Yan and gave another bowl to Zong Ze. Zong Ze hesitated for a while, and finally reached out to take it, while Yue Fei shook his head and refused, but just stood behind the old man with a knife.

The meal was very simple, a bowl of rice, three or two pieces of meat per person, and the rest was salted radish, and a pot of wine specially prepared for Cai Yan.

The old man seemed very dissatisfied with Gu Qinniang's drinks with Cai Yan, and said, "You, a girl, understand what is a battle for national destiny?"

Seeing Zong Ze bullying his wife, Cai Yan immediately put down his bowls and chopsticks and said dissatisfiedly: "Old man, don't think you look down on others when you are old. Qin Niang has been a female teacher in the martial arts school for more than ten years. The generals in the army all have their eyes on their heads. When they see Qin Niang, who did not honestly bow their heads and shout "Sir"?"

"You are not really so arrogant, are you? You are so arrogant that you ignore the female gentleman who has taught hundreds of generals, right?"

Zong Ze and Yue Fei were shocked and looked at Gu Qinniang who gave Cai Yan a blank look in shock. But no matter what, Gu Qinniang was indeed a female teacher in the school, Cai Yan's deputy, and the second largest figure in the army.

Cai Yan sighed and said, "Waiting for a long time will lead to failure. If you lose your territory after a long time, your people will lose your country. When the Song State fails to gain peace and build two states, it means that women can drive their troops directly into the territory of Song State."

"Of course, even if the Song State is pacified, it is useless to camp the two states. Wanyan Zonghan can easily kill the city of Taiyuan with the eastern front alone. Qin Niang knew that at the moment when the Liao State was destroyed, when the Liao State did not stand in front of the Song State, Song State had already lost its national fortune."
