"Huang---Huanglong Mansion?"

Zhao Kai couldn't react and asked in confusion: "How do you interpret this?"

Isn't what I said obvious enough? Li Qi said hoarsely: "Wei Chen is saying that our army actually broke through the Huanglong Mansion of the Jin Kingdom earlier." He was also afraid that Zhao Kai would think that he was hearing hallucinations.

, so the three words "Huanglong Mansion" were specially emphasized.

"What?"

Zhao Kai exclaimed and said: "How is this possible?"

As he said that, he was suddenly startled, "Could it be that --- are you talking about Yue Fei?"

You react quickly. Li Qi nodded with a smile and said: "There is news from Laizhou. It turns out that Yue Fei's army detoured from the grassland back to Huanglong Mansion in the Kingdom of Jin, and captured Huanglong Mansion in one fell swoop, burning the grain and grass they had stored for ten years.

They killed more than a hundred people who were the founders of the Jin Kingdom. In addition, haven't we been curious before this, why the reinforcements of the Jin Army have not arrived yet? That is because they went to round up Yue Fei, and Yue Fei attacked

When we reached Huanglong Prefecture, Goryeo misjudged the current situation and thought we had already reached Huanglong Prefecture, so we declared war on Jin and used the whole country to cross the Yalu River, thus relieving the pressure on the front line."

Li Qi just said it very simply, it couldn't be simpler, but Zhao Kai was still stunned for a long time, "You---what you said is true?" He felt as if he was listening to a story.

Even if it is a story, it is too exaggerated.

Li Qi nodded and said, "It's absolutely true."

Zhao Kai burst out laughing suddenly, laughed for a while, and waved his fist and said: "Yue Fei's battle was so beautiful, well done, well done, it's so relieved." He danced excitedly, but he was so beautiful.

Knowing the significance of Huanglong Mansion to the Jin Kingdom, the significance of being able to capture Huanglong Mansion is not the food and grass, but more of a psychological advantage.

Li Qi saw Zhao Kai was so excited. He suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say you wanted to kill Yue Fei a few days ago? Why are you now--haha."

This guy is really annoying. Zhao Kai coughed lightly and said, "I didn't know the situation at that time. Did I say something wrong at that time?"

Li Qi shook his head and said: "The emperor is not wrong, and Zong Zhifu also feels that the emperor is not wrong, so he does not dare to give up. He believes that although Yue Fei has made extraordinary achievements, at the same time, Yue Fei also seriously violated military discipline and failed to follow the plan of the General Staff

Act. Once the army was in danger, it should be dealt with according to military law and must not be tolerated. Otherwise, where would the prestige of the General Staff be?"

Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly. He could understand Zongze very well. Yue Fei left like that, and more than half of the mobile forces in the Yanyun area were lost, which made Zongze helpless. He made a lot of hair gray.

At that time, Zongze was still talking to Yue Fei, but it was just to comfort Zhao Kai. Everyone knew that Zongze blamed Yue Fei very much. Although he had won a big victory now, it didn't mean that Zongze would let it go. After thinking for a while, he thought

He asked Li Qi with an embarrassed face: "What do you think?"

Li Qi crossed his arms and said with a smile: "Your Majesty should know what Wei Chen advocated on the first day he took office, right?"

Of course Zhao Kai knew that Li Qi could not lead troops to fight and train the army. His greatest contribution to the Song Army was to improve the basic literacy of the soldiers. In short, it was military discipline. Otherwise, this ghost

Where does Jian Chou begin? It is because of military discipline. Under Li Qi's leadership, no one dared to disobey his orders, otherwise they would die miserably. The reason why the Song Army's combat effectiveness has improved so much is because of military discipline. The previous

As soon as the Song army saw the Jin army, they ran away immediately, so Li Qi's meaning was very obvious. Zhao Kai said: "Do you also think that Yue Fei should be punished with military law?"

Li Qi nodded, and sighed again: "Actually, I understand why Yue Fei did this. Considering the situation at that time, if he chose to return for reinforcements, he might be ambushed by Wanyan Zonghan halfway. This is very

It was dangerous. Secondly, he had to go around from the Hetao area to Shuozhou, and then back to Yunzhou from Shuozhou. In this way, he could only follow Wanyan Zonghan, and it would only be a temporary relief, and the Jin Kingdom's reinforcements

We can still rescue Yunzhou without any pressure. With the continuous reinforcements, we don't know how long and how long the fight will last. We can only put pressure on the rear of the Jin army, slow down their reinforcements, and cut off their food and grass.

Destroy Yunzhou's army as quickly as possible.

And I can also understand why Yue Fei didn't tell the truth at that time? It's very simple, because Yue Fei himself didn't know whether he could succeed. If he told us at that time, we would definitely have illusions about him and make wrong predictions.

That’s why I didn’t say anything about the situation. Of course, this is just my estimate. You have to ask Yue Fei to know the details.”

At this point, he paused and changed the topic: "But even so, it is not a reason for him to violate military orders. If everyone follows suit in the future, then our Song army will have no military discipline to speak of, so I will also

I agree with what Zongzhifu said, this phenomenon must not be tolerated and Yue Fei must be punished."

"I agree very much with this. There is no rule without rules, but if it is handled according to military law, it would be a bit too heavy. I don't want to lose such a good general, and after all, Yue Fei came back with great achievements."

Zhao Kai was a little hesitant, because this military punishment was punishable by death. During the expedition, both he and Zongze had repeatedly mentioned that every commander must strictly implement the strategic plan of the General Staff, otherwise,

Kill without mercy.

"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."

Of course, Li Qi would not agree with killing Yue Fei just like that. Wouldn't that mean he had to cut off his own arm? Yue Fei could ask the person who took over the flag from Zong Ze, and said: "And this must be a heavy punishment."

, setting a very good tone, so Wei Chen suggested that Yue Fei be removed from all official positions and let him retire and return to his hometown."

"ah?"

Zhao Kai was surprised and said: "Removed from all official positions?"

How is this different from killing Yue Fei?

Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, now that the war is over, the focus of the next two or three years will still be domestic development. Therefore, even if Yue Fei is in office during this period, there will not be much use for him. When the time comes that Yue Fei is needed,

When the time comes, just use him again. Isn't this length of time just what the emperor said? I believe Yue Fei will also understand the emperor's intention."

Zhao Kai hesitated and said, "Do you really think it is necessary to do this?"

Li Qi nodded.

Zhao Kai frowned slightly and said: "But have you ever thought about it, if everything is too rigid and you just follow orders, this will actually make the general who leads the army hamstrung. He lacks agility and creativity. In fact, you should understand me.

, I am not in a low position and will be outside, and I will not accept your orders."

Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the General Staff only formulates strategies and strategic purposes. Specific tactics are set by the generals based on the situation at that time. But Yue Fei is different. Yue Fei completely ignores his strategic tasks. This is obvious.

Disobeying orders, if there is no heavy punishment, how can you convince the public? However, Yue Fei will bear the crime with all his strength. The soldiers around him are not wrong, because they have to obey Yue Fei's orders. Not only that, they also performed extraordinary feats, so

The imperial court must clearly distinguish rewards and punishments, punish Yue Fei severely, and reward the soldiers around him heavily."

This is very good. Zhao Kai hummed and said: "Is this what Zong Ze means?"

Li Qi nodded.

Zhao Kai said: "Since I made Zongze the Grand Marshal in the first place, the rewards and punishments will naturally be decided by him. Let Zongze handle this matter. By the way, what about your bad news?"

Li Qi snorted and said: "There is news from Wu Jie. It turns out that he did not come with the Zhenxi Army, but with the Uighur soldiers. Now the Gaochang Uighurs have surrendered to our Song Dynasty----"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Kai said: "This is a good thing, how can it be bad news?"

Li Qi sighed and said: "This is a good thing. But the emperor must not forget that the Gaochang Uighurs still occupy Sha, Gua and other places, and these two states were originally Xixia. How should this account be settled?"

Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes and said with a hint of sadness: "Isn't this a troublesome thing?"

After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Li Qi, "Are you planning something else?"

Li Qi showed a faint smile and said: "Each other, each other."

After saying that, both of them laughed.

...

...

"Whoever catches Wanyan Zongwang will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold and a thousand acres of land."

The veteran Li Dingbian was also like an old man, leading a large army on the northwest grassland of Hohhot, galloping on horseback, roaring. Not far in front of them there was a remnant of the army, also running at full speed.

In the eyes of today's Dangxiang people, this Wanyan Zongwang is really worth this price, or even higher. A thousand taels is nothing, a thousand catties will do.

When Li Dingbian's army caught up with Wanyan Zongwang's remaining troops, they pursued and fought fiercely. In fact, Li Dingbian had another idea, which was to force Wanyan Zongwang into Linhuang Mansion and take the opportunity to capture Linhuang Mansion.

But dreams are always beautiful, reality is always cruel, and Li Dingbian is heading into the abyss step by step.

"Uh--! Stop, everyone, stop."

After chasing for an hour, Li Dingbian suddenly reined in the horse and his horse neighed. He looked around and saw that the road was getting narrower and narrower, surrounded by steep stone walls. He couldn't help but feel startled, and fear gradually gathered in his eyes.

This is Ghost Valley, a very deceptive valley. The southern entrance is extremely wide. Looking from a distance, you don’t even know that this is a valley. You think it is a road. But the further inside, the narrower the road becomes.

, the north exit can only accommodate one car and one person passing side by side.

Li Dingbian had never been here before. When he was chasing, he thought this was the road leading to Linhuang Mansion, so he rashly led the army to rush in. However, when he came to the valley, he realized that something was wrong.

After all, he was experienced. When he saw the terrain, he realized that it was perfect for an ambush, and it was quiet all around. He felt bad about it, so he hurriedly turned his horse around and said, "Don't chase us now, let's get out of the valley."

He did not dare to say that he had fallen into a trap, for fear of disturbing the morale of the army.

But this Ghost Valley is famous for being easy to get in and difficult to get out. Before he finished speaking, there were killing sounds from all directions, shaking the earth, and dozens of trains suddenly appeared at the south entrance, blocking the intersection.

It was so tight that the raging fire shot straight into the sky. It was probably as high as two feet high. It was simply a wall of fire. In the eyes of the Dangxiang people, it was like a gate to hell. There was no one guarding the exit, but at that narrow intersection, Wanyan Zongwang randomly sent ten

The swordsmen and axemen are ambushing them there, and even if there are tens of thousands of people, you still can't get out.

On the stone wall to the north, a battle flag carrying countless honors suddenly stood up, fluttering in the wind, shaking and making a snapping sound.

This battle flag was very familiar to the Dangxiang people. It was Wanyan Zongwang's commanding flag. For a moment, the Dangxiang army was panicked and their morale was in chaos because Wanyan Zongwang had left too many shadows on their Dangxiang people.

With so many people nestled in this narrow valley, Li Dingbian shouted at the top of his lungs. No one paid any attention to him, let alone people. The sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground could cover up Li Dingbian's screams.

Whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, countless black shadows were cast from all directions in the valley.

The party members were already frightened, and they waved their weapons one after another, but after blocking them, they found that what the enemy was throwing was not arrows, but dry grass and dry wood.

When Li Ding saw these dead trees and hay, his face turned purple and he was sweating. His white beard was trembling. If the other party fired rockets again, they would really be burned alive.

But as soon as this idea came up, the Jurchen crossbowman standing on the stone wall had already raised the rocket.

At this point, it can be said that as soon as this rocket is fired, Li Dingbian's army will be completely wiped out. Unless he is as lucky as Sima Yi, it suddenly rains heavily. But now the sky is cloudless. When the dark clouds drift away,
To be continued...
