Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment, because he immediately understood what Qu Duan meant, and when he went to see Liu Ziyu again, the Privy Council who had just fought with Qu Duan as if he had killed his father agreed to the order, but said nothing.

hair.

At this moment, Zhao Jiu knew that there was no second way to deal with this matter: "Does Han Shizhong have to go to Tongzhou?"

"It must be Captain Han."

Liu Ziyu also spoke seriously again. "The official... Tongzhou is a place with lost Danzhou to the north, Luoshui to the west and south, and the Yellow River to the east. On the Yellow River, although the Pujin Floating Bridge has been burned down, the ferry

It is still there, but it is where the Jin army crossed the river from the east of the river."

"This place is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side." Wang Yuan, the commander of the imperial camp who had been silent, also interjected. "This terrain can be defended by generals and tens of thousands of elites, and it is impossible to say that it will have miraculous effects. But the reverse is true."

Said, if you spare the troops and horses here, once the enemy takes advantage of them, they will be strangled to death... Officials, we cannot hesitate at this time, and we must not begrudge any elites or generals! We are weak after all.

If you can cash in your money, try your best to cash it in!"

Zhao Jiu nodded heavily, and at the same time looked at Wang Boyan, the military minister who had been keeping silent. Wang Boyan also immediately bowed his head. Seeing this, the official looked at Academician Xiao Lin aside.

Academician Xiao Lin understood and directly lowered his head to write the imperial edict with the help of Hu Hong, the living man.

"But if Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Li Yanxian, Zhang Jun, and Zhang Rong cannot move lightly, can I only use the Imperial Army and the troops from all over the Kansai region to fight against Lou Shi?" Even if I know that I have made a mistake,

Absolutely rational and correct, Zhao Jiu's face still rarely looked ugly.

"Officials, with all due respect, this is the reason why the Lou family attacked from Yan'an... That place is in the northwest of the country, and it is difficult for the imperial camp army to go there. If we can finally unite the entire imperial camp army and the Shaanxi Sixth Route Army

It is a great blessing that Ma Yi can control the Lou family." Liu Ziyu replied proudly. "However, no one knows where the war will go!"

Zhao Jiu nodded repeatedly...isn't this the truth?

Wan Yan Lou's house has been poor for years, so he did not hesitate to send tens of thousands of troops south for strategic reconnaissance. Isn't it to find out the strength of various troops, the speed of support, and the scope of support?

It would be ridiculous if there were no such calculations this time.

But at the moment, this arrangement is the most rational and correct.

but……

"What were we talking about in the first place?" Zhao Jiu came back to his senses and felt a little dazed for a moment.

"Danzhou has been lost. Wu Jie was defeated for the second time. Now there are not many troops in Yanzhou. Should we defend or abandon it?" Qu Duan took a step forward and warned carefully.

"Do you want to keep it or abandon it?" Zhao Jiu stared at Qu Duan and asked.

"Keep it and abandon it!" Dusk was approaching outside the tent, and the sergeants had already gone to have dinner. Under the light, Qu Duan stared at the expressionless Zhao Guan's house, his eyes burning for a moment.

In response, Zhao Jiu remained silent and looked at Liu Ziyu, Hu Hongxiu and others again.

Liu Ziyu first glanced at Qu Duan, who had a serious face, and then took a step forward to face him seriously: "The Privy Council also thinks that we should defend and abandon it!"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Jiu's expression remained unchanged and he just raised his head to signal.

"Reporting back to the officials, this is exactly what I wanted to say on behalf of my colleagues in the Privy Council..." Liu Ziyu seemed to have already had an idea. "If Guanzhong wants to defend it, firstly, it is to isolate the Hedong army as much as possible and prevent the Jin army from becoming stronger in Guanzhong;

It is necessary to rely on the terrain of the hills and mountains of northern Shaanxi as much as possible to resist layer by layer, but there is no need to fight to the death or a decisive battle. Instead, it is necessary to try to exhaust the elite cavalry in the mountains of northern Shaanxi and wear it out in the mountains of northern Shaanxi. At the same time, it has to divide its troops to guard various places.

And when the heat of summer comes and they are exhausted and unbearable, then let them go, either to fight in the mountains or in the wilderness, or to lure them under a fortified city..."

Zhao Jiu nodded slowly and looked at Qu Duan again.

"I also see it this way." Qu Duan quickly answered. "Northern Shaanxi is the key to this battle. You can defend it and you can't abandon it. But you must resist and harass, and you must preserve useful troops until the enemy's strength is exhausted.

, our army is getting stronger, and we will either fight or defend according to the situation."

Zhao Jiu nodded heavily and wanted to speak, but kept silent.

At this moment, Qu Duan knelt down directly in the tent and kowtowed: "Guan family! If the officials still use Wu Jie to guard Yanzhou, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"

Unexpectedly, facing Qu Da's behavior, no one in the tent except Fan Yihong from Sishui Pass was shocked for a moment, as if everyone knew he would do this.

"How to say?"

Zhao Jiu also remained calm, but he just looked curious. "I heard people say that the one who is capable of literary and martial arts is Qu Da, and the one who is brave and resourceful is Wu Da... This Wu Da is as famous as you. Even though he has lost two games, he is just

It’s just a disadvantage in the field battle, but you can’t defend Yanzhou?”

"Guan family," Qu Duan on the ground said with a frank, eager and eager face. "He is brave and scheming, just to make up the number of words so that he can compare with his ministers... If Wu Da was brave and scheming, how could he fail?"

so?"

Zhao Jiu finally sneered.

"This is not what I mean by officials and ministers." Qu Duan quickly explained. "Actually, if it is just to guard a state, any Wu brother can do it. If it is to fight bravely in the field, even the ministers are not as good as Wu Da. But the problem is

The point is that, from the current point of view, Yanzhou will inevitably fall, and after the fall of Yanzhou, it is time to gather troops and horses to retreat in an orderly manner, and then rely on Jingyuan Road and Huanqing Road to continue to resist... How to dispatch the three-pronged state soldiers?

Horse? How to lure the Jin people to march westward? How to harass the Jin army from all sides? Wu Jie is somewhat lacking, because he has always been just a subordinate and does not have such prestige!"

"Then who has this prestige?" Zhao Jiu responded coldly without hesitation.

Qu Duan opened his mouth to speak, but through the flickering candlelight and under the gaze of Zhao Guan's family after the case, he could not speak several times... After nearly a year, he returned to his dream hometown and regained control of the military. The opportunity to participate in the war was right in front of him.

However, he did not dare to speak out under the official's gaze.

Dining outside the tent is the most lively time in the military camp before the sky completely darkens, but there is already silence in the big tent under the dragon awning.

Everyone is looking at Qu Duan.

And Qu Duan is also thinking a lot:

He doesn't build business in Guanzhong, but he comes to fish on the river.

Thinking about it now, with this poem, Zhao Guanjia, whose personal authority at least was unshakable, could have killed him long ago, or could have denied his request... Even if he didn't brag this time, Huanqing Road,

The soldiers, civilians, and military officials on Jingyuan Road and Yanfan Road all obeyed him, because after all, it was he who had preserved the roads in northern Shaanxi during the previous Jin army invasions.

But then again, why wasn't it killed?

Why did this official just keep looking at him and not deny it directly?

There is only one answer.

"Officials!" I don't know how long it took, but Qu Duan almost exhausted all his strength before he spoke. But once he spoke, he couldn't hold it back at all, and burst into tears. "I'm wrong! Please agree with me.

In charge of the military, I should do my best for the country!"

After the candle light, Zhao Jiu nodded slowly at first, then shook his head slightly, sighed again, and then remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Qu Duan felt uneasy, but gradually became disappointed and despaired.

But unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, Zhao Guanjia, who was still wearing his armor, suddenly stood up and walked to the corner of the tent behind him without saying a word. He took a pair of bows and arrows, turned around and put them on the table, and then turned toward Qu

Duan Yan said:

"Qu Da... I am accustomed to using this bow and arrows. Take it... If you disobey the orders again, lynch subordinates, or refuse to save friendly forces when you see them, you can either use this bow and shoot at me, or you can kill me."

Find an acquaintance in the old days and ask him to strangle you to death with this bow... We, the rulers and ministers, have no third way!"

At this point, Yang Yizhong stepped forward and handed the bow and arrow to Qu Da on the ground. At the same time, Zhao Jiu also turned to Bachelor Xiao Lin on one side: "Let Hu Yin lead Shaanxi as the envoy of Yanpun Road."

Regarding the military and political affairs of Beisan Road, Wu Jiejingyuan Road was appointed as the military envoy, and Wu Lin was appointed as the military and horse supervisor of Yankun Road. Qu Duan, the deputy commander of the imperial camp, resigned, and he was transferred to Huanqing Road as the military envoy... The military situation was urgent, and he issued an imperial edict

, gold medal, let him set off immediately overnight!"

When Qu Da heard this, he was overjoyed for a moment and took the bow, but felt relieved all over.

As the saying goes, after twenty years of military service, today we return, carrying a heavy load, and it will all fall away in a moment.
