Chapter 387 Retreating to Advance

After being beaten violently, Cao Ren, Wu Song and other generals lost all confidence.

Although the veteran general Zhou Tong can still fight, he is still old after all. It is really difficult to deal with Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun in their prime.

This drag alone can drag the old general Zhou Tong to death. Xun Yu is already thinking about whether to mobilize Yue Fei from this world. Among all the known generals, the ones who can suppress the Northern Song Dynasty generals such as Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun are stable. There was only one person named Yue Fei.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty army was forced to return to defense due to the pressure of the uprising in the south, and Han Shizhong's troops stopped marching to the north, as long as the problem was not resolved for one day, they would feel like they were stuck in their throats and would not vomit.

They have no habit of leaving problems unsolved.

However, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu rejected Xun Yu's suggestion. Although the Northern Song Dynasty army was coming fiercely, they were only caught off guard by the sudden contrast between the Northern Song Dynasty army.

In fact, with their strength, they were more than enough to defend the city.

Although Cao Ren was defeated by Han Shizhong in the field, he had a large number of troops hoarded in the city, and the Northern Song army had nothing to do with him.

Jia Xu and Cheng Yu both had other plans.

Being tough or anything like that is completely inconsistent with their aesthetics. Although the effect is the most immediate, since they are here, they are here to solve the problem, not to continue to throw the problem to Mu Yi.

Otherwise what's the point of their existence.

The very meaning of a counselor's existence is to use wisdom to break situations.

Xun Yu just wanted stability. After Jia Xu and Cheng Yu objected, Xun Yu also thought of a way.

Xun Yu already had a rough grasp of the system of the Northern Song Dynasty after studying the history of its establishment.

The central government is strong while the local governments are weak. This can be regarded as a strategy to stabilize the security of the regime.

But now Han Shizhong and others who are under orders are still considered central or local?

Xun Yu's side had just started, and Jia Xu and Cheng Yu had already put together an almost serial plan.

Since they were very suspicious, they should feed the Northern Song Dynasty some ecstasy.

Jia Xu directly wrote a letter and asked the dead man to hand it to Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong reacted very quickly. He killed the dead soldier as soon as he saw the letter and sent the envelope directly to the court.

However, the content of the envelope was completely contrary to what Han Shizhong thought. It was not used to persuade him to betray at all, but a letter indicating that Han Shizhong was too capable and that they were willing to support Han Shizhong's independence.

They also said that they had contacts with other generals, and as long as Han Shizhong nodded, they were willing to share the world equally with Han Shizhong.

There was no valuable divorce plan, but because Han Shizhong didn't read the letter and sent it directly to the central government, things went a little differently.

Of course, Zhao Gou immediately vouched for his imperial brother, guaranteeing that this was a rift and a trick used by clowns to deal with these generals.

Zhao Heng agreed on the surface, but he became suspicious of Zhao Gou who reacted violently.

As a result, Zhao Gou had no idea that this letter was aimed at him, because all the characters mentioned were related to Zhao Gou.

As a result, Zhao Gou himself stepped forward to provide guarantee, saying that the Song Dynasty could not live without these generals.

Other scholar-bureaucrats also followed Zhao Gou and reunited, as if Zhao Heng would destroy the Great Wall once he wavered.

All these, driven by the thoughtful people arranged by Jia Xu, caused Zhao Heng to have doubts in his heart.

Is this emperor Zhao Gou or Zhao Heng?

All the civil servants and generals sided with Zhao Gou, so was he really still the emperor?

Zhao Heng, who himself was constrained by the Supreme Emperor, was filled with gloom.

What actually happened was just as Jia Xu and Cheng Yu had guessed, and Zhao Heng became suspicious bit by bit.

Killing an empire that has not yet completely declined and starting from the outside will be like the Han Dynasty conquering the Xiongnu and Rome conquering the Parthia. It will not lead to a grand conclusion for more than a hundred years.

Of course, to deal with the empire, we must start from the inside. Weaken it layer by layer and let this strong fortress explode from the inside. Then it will be much easier to deal with.

In order to implement this plan, Jia Xu directly took the credit and gave the entire city where Cao Ren was stationed to Han Shizhong.

Then arrange people to promote Han Shizhong's achievements. If the gods come down to earth and the enemies flee after hearing the news, it is the star king who comes to the world.

In fact, these are nothing. What is really fatal is that Han Shizhong really has a star destiny, and the star destiny is still the image of a white tiger.

The famous White Tigers are Guo Ziyi and Xue Rengui...

The biggest thing these people have in common is that they have a very close relationship with the monarch.

Zhao Heng and Han Shizhong had no contact at all. It was Zhao Gou who strongly recommended him, so he hired Han Shizhong.

Many times, when you look at a person with a critical attitude, the conclusion you get is usually not a good one.

So Zhao Heng pretended to send a general he trusted to reward Han Shizhong, and then transferred Han Shizhong to the south to suppress the rebellion with three gold medals and replaced him with his own general.

Han Shizhong felt something was wrong and quickly wrote to Zhao Gou, hoping that Zhao Gou could persuade Zhao Heng to change his mind.

Zhao Gou was very puzzled when he heard the news and went to Zhao Heng directly to question.

It was not only Han Shizhong who was replaced, but almost everyone related to Zhao Gou.

"Brother Emperor, aren't you giving up a great situation to others by doing this?" Zhao Gou didn't understand what Zhao Heng was doing.

Although it was normal to change generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, changing generals on the spot has always been a taboo for military strategists. This order will have absolutely no impact on the situation.

Looking at the impassioned Zhao Gou in front of him, Zhao Heng's eyes deepened. After tasting the taste of power, many things have completely changed.

They used to have a good relationship and could be considered brothers and sisters.

But the stories of the two ancestors, Zhao Da and Zhao Er, are enough to make everyone wary of their brothers.

"Zhao Gou! I am the emperor! Are you trying to force him into the palace?" Zhao Heng's words made Zhao Gou feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

He had never been a fool, and he understood almost instantly that this was Zhao Heng's showdown with him.

And having lost his military power, he has no ability to resist Zhao Heng.

"I don't dare!" Zhao Gou knelt on the ground.

"Go down!" Zhao Heng looked at Zhao Gou who was kneeling on the ground, with a smile on his face that he didn't even notice. It was a smile of power.

……

"What? Are you still retreating?" Cao Ren looked at Jia Xu in front of him in disbelief.

"Retreat!" Jia Xu had no interest in explaining to Cao Ren. The reason why he came here was to let Cao Ren execute the order as quickly as possible. "Here!" Looking at Jia Xu's indifferent eyes, Cao Ren lowered his head and clasped his fists in response.

"Military advisor, if we shrink our troops like this, it is almost equivalent to giving up all the key places."

After Cao Ren carried out the order, he began to discuss the plan with Jia Xu. This guy was also a representative of professional soldiers. As long as the military order came down, even if he had doubts, he would not be swayed by it.

"The people who saved the land lost their land, and the people who saved the land lost their people. We are just letting them go temporarily. We still have time to retake this place." Jia Xu's face showed almost no fluctuation, and he just looked in the direction of the Imperial City of the Northern Song Dynasty from a distance.

"We can't bear to let our children trap the wolf, so destroying the enemy's vitality is our goal!"

After Cao Ren executed the order, Jia Xu nodded and thought of explaining to Cao Ren.

He also knew that retreating again and again would have a serious impact on morale, but Jia Xu took this very lightly.

"Do you want to save people and lose territory?" Cao Ren nodded. He could understand this tactic, but if you let them in, how would you drive them out?

The Northern Song Dynasty army in the north was quite elite. Now that Han Shizhong had finally been replaced, he naturally wanted to give the new commander a little sweetness and make him feel that everything Han Shizhong did was just good luck.

The commander who came by air was not in a stable position, and with an opportunity for a great victory in front of him, he had no choice but to take action.

"Remember, this is your last chance. If you fail this time, you will have to be a city-defending general from now on!" Jia Xu took a look and decided to give Cao Ren some buffs.

"Here!"

Cao Ren suddenly became serious. He understood that Jia Xu was not a person who was aimless.

He doesn't want to just be a general who defends the city. No one wants to be a general who defends the city forever. He is also an ambitious person.

Although the previous failure made him feel disappointed for a while, he quickly adjusted his mentality.

Except for those military gods, who can be undefeated in a hundred battles, not to mention this is not his first defeat.

He understood that this was Jia Xu's reminder to him. After saluting respectfully, Cao Ren hurried towards the military camp.

He must not let his guard down at such a time when the war is about to begin.

"Military advisor, I have something I don't know? What if the commander-in-chief of the other side is a cautious person and would rather do nothing than make a mistake and don't want to waste any more energy on this aspect?" After Cao Ren left, he followed Jia Xu, ready to take his place at any time. Cao Ren's Yu Jin hesitated and asked.

"Your statement has a certain possibility. If the other party insists on stability, then we will indeed be beaten to death this time." Jia Xu nodded and said, not panicking.

This wave of Song Dynasty is taking the initiative. If the opponent's general really realizes the situation, eats the sugar-coated shells and hits the shells back, it will be enough to disgust the Han army.

After all, Han Shizhong and the others were unknown existences before this.

Jia Xu, the new commander of the army, didn't have much information about the opponent.

There are so many unknown generals that even if Jia Xu had infiltrated the Song Dynasty, it would be impossible for him to have information on all the characters.

Being able to figure out the intelligence of a few high-ranking civil servants and generals was the result of Jia Xu's hard work.

"In other words, military advisor, you actually don't have any good plans for the opponent right now?" Yu Jin looked at Jia Xu and said in surprise. Normally, he shouldn't have prepared all the strategies and tactics when he arrived. Then they looked at Just hit him.

Why does it sound more like a big gamble now?

"There is nothing 100% certain in the world!" Jia Xu was quite calm.

"If the opponent really acts like a coward, then there really is no good way. After all, we are not the ones taking the initiative in the battle."

Yu Jin was speechless. He also had this understanding, but Jia Xu said it so openly, which always made him feel a little strange.

Since there is no plan, why can the boss remain so calm?

Jia Xu glanced at the tangled look in Yu Jin's eyes and said nothing more.

Those who can understand have already understood his subtext. For those who can't understand, no matter how much saliva is wasted, it is still a waste.

He just admitted that Yu Jin's speculation was indeed very fatal for them, but it did not mean that this situation could really happen.

The specific character of the temporarily parachuted commander is no longer important.

Jia Xu had already arranged manpower to deliver the information here to the court in real time.

Even if he wants to be a coward, Zhao Heng's gold medal order will make him make a choice that is in Xinghan's interests.

After devouring this batch of Northern Song troops, the originally abundant troops of the Northern Song Dynasty truly fell into the embarrassment of insufficient manpower.

"Commander, do you really have no plan?"

Yu Jin looked at Jia Xu's expression and felt more and more that Jia Xu was unfathomable.

After hesitating for a while, he asked again. After all, if the big guys don't have a plan, then if they can fight, they just have a strong body, and their brains are still very important.

"Don't worry, as long as there are still people on the other side, we will definitely win this time." Jia Xu glanced at Yu Jin with a perfunctory look.

"Commander, you say this, and I feel even more guilty!" Yu Jin's mouth was filled with bitterness. He came here to take charge of the mission.

But now Jia Xu doesn’t even have a plan. He tells me that he will win this time. Can I believe it?

"Okay." Seeing this, Yu Jin didn't feel like asking anymore, but at least he wasn't as flustered as before. Jia Xu was so calm that his expression didn't change at all, which gave Yu Jin considerable confidence. Although I don't know that my military advisor has What a plan, as long as we can win.

Jia Xu looked at Yu Jin leaving and sighed.

This is also the reason why he personally implemented this. If it were Xun Yu and the others, they really wouldn't be able to completely convince these generals.

Although qualifications are not recommended, they cannot be avoided.

At least when issuing such vague orders, these generals can be allowed to carry out them.

"Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou, don't let me down!" Jia Xu sneered, and the surrounding air seemed to become gloomy in an instant.

Father is kind, son is filial, brother, friend, brother are respectful. After experiencing so many past historical lessons, can the current emperor really endure it?

And the best way to establish prestige is naturally to win battles.

But when Zhao Heng's desperate plan failed, what kind of waves would be caused in the court of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Are they the ultimate brotherhood of the Xuanwumen Incident, or are they the shadow of a candlelight ax that has not been acknowledged?

Jia Xu knew that there must be someone in the Northern Song Dynasty who could see his plan, but when it came to taking sides and the throne, would anyone really dare to take the risk and speak out?

 I was delayed by trivial matters and made up for yesterday's work.

  Updates will officially start on the 2nd
