Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 154: Counterattack

"Counter-attack Guan Shan?" Whether it was Qu Duan, Zhao Zhe, Zhao Wu or Wang Shu, they were all taken aback!

"What? Is there any problem?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens are powerful and claim to be invincible! Since the Jurchens invasion, the Weichen has been thinking that we should lie in for ten to twenty years and use ten to twenty years to develop a strong army. , And then decide the outcome with Jurchen!" Qu Duan said.

Qu Duan is still the idea of ​​"preserving strength"!

Historically, Qu Duan has always insisted on "preserving strength." Zhang Jun was the Sichuan and Shaanxi Propaganda and Fu envoy and ordered Qu Duan to send troops. Qu Duan went so far as to "preserve strength" and delayed the opportunity! In the end, Zhang Jun couldn't bear it and killed Qu Duan!

Now, he still said such words!

"Ten to 20 years, how could I have waited so long? If there is a chance, we can counterattack Jurchen at any time! Think about it carefully, is this an opportunity?" Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Zhe, Wang Shu and others fell into contemplation. After a while, Wang Shu said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed an opportunity! Guan Shan is empty, we can indeed counterattack Guan Shan! But the female real power is really strong, we have to do it. I'm prepared to make a great sacrifice! In addition, your Majesty, we have just gone through the chaos of quotation and desirability, and the hearts of the people in the country have not yet settled. Can we really counterattack Jurchen now?"

Zhao Chen said: "The domestic people's minds are not yet stable, I know this naturally! I just want to use a victory to stabilize the people's minds! If we can successfully counter-attack Shanxi, defeat Jurchen, and the people's minds brought about by the chaos of compromise. Uncertainty will naturally disappear! Do you think this is the case?"

Wang Shu was stunned, and nodded: "Your Majesty is right! But it is good to win. If you fail, what should you do? If you fail, the hearts of the people will definitely be more unstable!"

Zhao Chen said: "So we have to study the situation carefully, and then we can use soldiers! First, we need to know if the Jurchens are really going south, and second, we need to know how many soldiers and horses Guan Shan have left if they go south! The third is to understand whether we can defeat these soldiers and horses!"

Wang Shu thought for a long time and nodded gently!

Zhao Zhe said: "Your Majesty, we Song Jun and Jurchen have never won! The reason why General Wu-rank was able to win the last time was because of the terrain advantage. At that time, General Wu-rank mainly defended Jurchen! If we attack Jurchen actively! , I am really worried!"

Zhao Chen said: "Don't worry! Even if the Jurchens are great, let's use more soldiers and horses! They have ten thousand people, and we use one hundred thousand. We can't beat them if we don't believe them! Jurchen barbarians are staring at us, we can't just because they are powerful. Never use force against them, right? Now if it is really an opportunity, then you must never give up!"

After a long time, Zhao Zhe also nodded!

During this period Qu Duan stopped talking. Qu Duan knew that he had just taken refuge in Zhao Chen, and he was not a cronies of Zhao Chen! He felt that Zhao Chen might not be able to listen to what he said!

In Zhao Chen's view, Qu Duan is an indecisive person! Obviously the opportunity will come, and we have to wait for ten or twenty years. Others say that Qu Duan is an all-rounder in civil and martial arts, but it is a pity that Qu Duan has no overall idea! If you wait for ten or twenty years, there will probably be a battle between Jurchen and King Kang. They hide in Hanzhong and Chuanshu just for development. They never fight the enemy, have no experience in combat, and encounter Jurchen and King Kang. The army that has experienced many battles, I am afraid it is not an opponent! Therefore, when it is time to make a move, you must make a move, even if it is to increase your combat experience, you must make a move!

There is another reason why Zhao Chen wants to seize this opportunity. He wants to know whether his military training is really useful! He wants to see if these measures he has implemented are really useful!

Only through real war can all of this be tested and the shortcomings can be discovered!

Therefore, he desperately hopes that this battle will happen!

Qu Duan was originally going to go directly to Hanzhong to meet Zhao Chen through Dasan Pass, but Zhao Chen is now in Dasan Pass, so naturally he can't leave Dasan Pass by himself!

Qu Duan was in a gloomy mood. He was originally a general, holding a hundred thousand heavy soldiers, but now he has nothing! He only has the title of "Private Envoy", and this Secret Envoy is supposedly much higher than the original Jingyuan Route Envoy, and this is the country's highest military commander! However, he also heard that Zhao Chen set up the military aircraft office. Important military information in the frontier was sent to the military aircraft office. The Privy Council was only in charge of cumbersome matters such as food, grass, and heavy weapons. The specific strategy was no longer involved in the Privy Council! It is even more impossible for the Privy Council to control the frontier army!

"Fine, I have been in the army for more than 20 years, and now I should take a break! I don't care how your Majesty fights with Jurchen, no matter how your Majesty fights with King Kang! As long as I can live well!" Qu Duan secretly said.

He had no ambitions in the first place, so when he was in Jingyuan City, he only wanted to "protect himself"! At this moment, he has lost all his troops, and he has no ambitions, and he just wants to "protect himself"!

"What is General Qu thinking?" Qu Duan was standing on the city wall. At this moment, a gentle voice came from behind!

Qu Duan hurriedly turned around and was about to kneel down. Zhao Chen had already stepped forward to support him, and said, "You don't need to be polite! Actually, there is no kneeling ceremony in the Forbidden Army! I am going to abolish kneeling in the entire army. ceremony!"

Qu Duan was stunned and said: "How can this be?"

Zhao Chen said, "What's the point? Training is good. If you are marching and fighting, your subordinates will kneel down when they see the boss. Wouldn't it be a delay in time, military situation, or even affect victory or defeat!"

Qu Duan said: "But this will affect the majesty of your majesty and the superiors!"

Zhao Chen smiled and said: "This majesty does not come by kneeling! If I can defeat Jurchen, I will naturally have infinite majesty! If Shangguan loves soldiers and loves soldiers like children, soldiers will naturally respect Shangguan. What is the difference between bowing and worshipping? relationship?"

Qu Duan frowned, still unacceptable! He is conservative in thinking and has stayed in Jingyuan for more than 20 years. In his opinion, everything is the best now, and any change is unacceptable! However, thinking that he no longer has many rights, Qu Duan sighed and said no more!

"What makes General Qu unhappy?" Zhao Chen said.

"It's just leaving my hometown, and I feel a little bad!" Qu Duan said.

"General Qu because he lost his army, right?" Zhao Chen smiled.

"Ah! Weichen never dare to have such an idea!" Qu Duan said.

"It doesn't matter if you have such thoughts! If I were you, I wouldn't be happy!" Zhao Chen said.

Qu Duan was silent, indicating that he had acquiesced.

"You take a good job as a privy envoy and do your own job! In the future, we will still need you when we fight in the south and the north! In the future, you will still have the opportunity to lead the army!" Zhao Chen smiled.

"This..." Qu Duan shook his head without speaking.

He didn't believe Zhao Chen's words, he felt that he was already like this, how could Zhao Chen hand over the army to him again!

Zhao Chen knew that this person was Yunwen Yunwu, and to some extent he could be regarded as the first person in the Western Army! In addition to lack of ambition, this person is still very clever! I am afraid that his ability to command combat is not inferior to Wu Jie and Liu Qi! In the future, you will definitely use him, so you have to say something to him first, don't let him down!

It's a pity that Qu Duan didn't understand his kindness, but was depressed!

Zhao Chen smiled and said no more!

On the second day, Zhao Chen left Dasanguan to go down the mountain!

Soon Zhao Chen came to the Forbidden Army!

Zhao Chen found Yue Fei for the first time, and discussed with Yue Fei about counter-attack against Shanxi!

"Your Majesty, the general thinks that it is feasible to counterattack Guan Shan! The Jurchens are not so terrible. When the final general was in Hedong, he led only the rebels without food and weapons. At that time, they dared to fight the Jurchens! Now the strength of the Forbidden Army is better than that of the Jurchens. At first, the rebel army was much stronger, why didn't you dare to fight with them?" Yue Fei said.

"Very well, you are the first person to support the counterattack against Shanxi without hesitation!" Zhao Chen was overjoyed.

"However, we must understand the intentions of the Jurchens! Only after we are sure that the Jurchens will go south to the Yangtze River, can we mobilize to counterattack Shaanxi! If the Jurchens do not go south, once we counterattack the Jurchens in Hedong and Hebei, the Jurchen army Coming, we are still not their opponents now!" Yue Fei said.

"You are right! You still need to do this thing! You contact Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others in Hedong, and ask them to stare at the Jurchen carefully to see if the Jurchen is really going to attack Jiangnan!" Zhao Chen Dao.

"Good!" Yue Fei nodded and agreed!

"We have to discuss the counterattack against Shanxi, and we have to discuss it with Li Gang! In addition, I also want to ask Wu Jie's opinion! The war is extremely important, and we need to be cautious. Although I am eager to counterattack Shanan, I will not blindly use troops! "Zhao Chen said.
