Chapter 816: I won’t let you do it

Chen Ao's temperament has always been facing difficulties. Although sometimes it makes people feel a little naughty, he himself is quite intoxicated. Seeing Wanyan Zongjun's eyes staring at him, Chen Ao is more arrogant than him. When he rolls his eyes, he looks at the beam of the roof and looks at Wanyan Zongjun with his chin.

The reason why Wanyan Zongjun showed anger was because of what Chen Ao said just now. Chen Ao wanted to be a person who forgot his ancestors and turned against his sects by himself, which was an insult to Wanyan Zongjun.

Although Wanyan Zongjun is cowardly, he still has a kind of tenacity in his bones. He bit his lip, sneered, and expressed disapproval.

Chen Ao smiled and said, "I did this for Brother Wanyan's sake. Since you don't want to go, I won't say anything anymore." After that, Chen Ao stood up and left his seat, looking like he was about to leave.

Wanyan Zongjun called Chen Ao anxiously and said, "Wait, can you ask if your Highness is planning to raid Linhuang Mansion?"

Chen Ao said lightly: "It's almost like, I haven't seen you, the Queen Mother of the Jurchen for a long time. It's really hard to miss her. She's not dead yet? It's good that you haven't died. It's also a joy to meet old friends again."

The Jurchen Empress Dowager was Wanyan Zongjun's grandmother. Of course, Wanyan Zongjun had heard of it. At this time, he heard Chen Aohu and the Empress Dowager's face suddenly changed and he said angrily: "Don't be arrogant. Linhuang Mansion has 50,000 Jurchen cavalry. The city defense is strong and you will never be fooled by you again. Just relying on your troops, hum..."

Wanyan Zongjun snorted coldly and made a disdainful voice, but fear flashed in his eyes. Now Linhuang Mansion is the center of the Jurchens, and all the royal nobles live there. Once the Song army succeeds, the consequences will definitely be disastrous.

Wanyan Zongjun also had some understanding of Chen Ao. If he was not sure about things, this person would never do it. On the surface, he seemed to like taking risks and greedy for success in his work, but he had already made a meticulous plan for every step. That is to say, if the guy in front of him made up his mind to take action against Linhuang Mansion, then the Song army would be at least 80% sure. Although he didn't know what method Chen Ao would take, Wanyan Zongjun had this premonition.

Chen Ao smiled and glanced at the nervous Wanyan Zongjun, laughed and said, "I dare to go, so there is a way to break the city. Well, what should be said is finished. Since Brother Wanyan is unwilling to go, of course I can't force it. So I ask Brother Wanyan to rest here and wait for the news of my triumphant success."

Wanyan Zongjun had a gloomy face and let out a long breath, like a defeated rooster, saying, "I'll go."

Wanyan Zongjun was helpless to make this plan. Instead of sitting here and waiting for death, it would be better to go with the Song army to see it. As for King Zhongshun, Wanyan Zongjun would never agree.

Seeing his agreement, Chen Ao turned anger into joy and said, "Then your Highness will prepare first, and you will know you when you set off."

Chen Ao came from Wanyan Zongjun's palace and found that it was already drizzling outside. The rain was full of biting coldness. In the blink of an eye, the weather became colder. He pressed his sword to the bottom of the corridor. Zhou Heng ran over and said, "Your Highness, all the generals have arrived, and are waiting in the Manjushri Palace."

Chen Ao nodded and said, "Do you bring my lotus umbrella?"

Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "What are you doing when you march and fight?"

Chen Ao said regretfully: "What a pity. I have bought it for dozens of cents and have never used it a few times. I have ruined the treasure, so I will bring a straw raincoat."

Zhou Heng knew it and went to get the straw raincoat in the rain. After a while, he wore a straw hat and turned back. Chen Ao couldn't help but be stunned and said, "If I had known you would go to get it in the rain, I would have gone to Manjushri Palace in the rain. It was soaked you. Your sister would have to settle the score with me."

Zhou Heng patted his chest, wiped his wet hair, and put his hat on Chen Ao with a smile. Chen Ao took the straw raincoat and wore it. This straw raincoat was specially made in the army and was the most heavy, but it was okay to hide the raincoat. After all, sometimes the army had to trek. If it rained, the straw raincoat would be too thick and didn't know how much trouble it would add. After tightening the belt, Chen Ao went to the Manjushri Palace. The Manjushri Palace was not far from here. After walking through a month's hole, he arrived. When he walked to the corridor of the Manjushri Palace, the captain outside immediately took off the straw raincoat for Chen Ao. Chen Ao looked at the drizzle under the eaves and couldn't help but say, "I would rather snow in the world. The rain was really annoying."

The captain who removed the straw raincoat for Chen Ao smiled and said, "I heard from the people here that it rained today. In a few days, the weather will really drop. At that time, it may not be heavy snow for several consecutive months. At that time, the snow will be ten feet thick, and even the trees will be bent."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "How could you do that? I will say one thing, you will say ten words." After that, he kicked the mud and water under his boots and stepped into the Manjushri Palace.

The generals and doctors in the Manjushri Palace were all here, and the navy officers wearing Song army armor were on one side, while the doctors were whispering on the other side. Others were leaders of the army. Most of these army soldiers were bandits and Liao army, so the organization was relatively chaotic. Chen Ao finally sorted out some of the more powerful ones and temporarily served as generals. These people were Khitans and Han people. When they saw Chen Ao coming in, the navy officers immediately stood up and held high their chests and saluted. The doctors made a fuss and said a word. As for these leaders, they were a little mixed, some were rude, and some were kneeling, talking.

Although it caused some confusion, Chen Ao could clearly feel that no matter who looked at him, he had a bit of respect like a god. This was a respect for the strong.

Chen Ao coughed, nodded at everyone's jaw, and walked to the square table in the hall with a loud voice, saying, "Put up the map."

The map was prepared long ago. Several naval officers spread a roll of parchment on the table, and a rough map appeared in front of Shen Ao. For Chen Ao, the map was extremely crude, and some places were even blank. However, when information was scarce, it was already quite amazing to find such a map.

Chen Ao's fingers settled in the Dading Mansion. Once he wanted to speak, the people in the hall maintained a tacit understanding that they would not interrupt. Chen Ao gradually got used to the feeling of being a commander. In other people's words, Chen Ao's behavior was a little arbitrary. However, his arbitrary behavior was more convincing in the army. For warriors, a self-righteous boss often trusted more than a few words in one sentence.

Chen Ao raised his eyebrows and said straight: "This is the Dading Mansion, the main force of the Jurchens is here..." Chen Ao pointed to the direction of Qijin Mansion, drew a horizontal line between Qijin Mansion and Dading Mansion, and continued: "At this time, I believe Wanyan Aguda has learned the news about Dading Mansion. Tell me, what will Wanyan Aguda do?"

Zhou Chu held his chin and said, "Wanyan Aguda has never been defeated. He was frustrated today. Naturally, he was angry and embarrassed. He had to bring his troops back to take revenge."

Another doctor nodded and said, "Yes, let's say, this Dading Prefecture is the only way for Qijin and Linhuang Prefecture. We cut off their grain routes between Linhuang Prefecture and Wanyan Aguda's army. In this case, Wanyan Aguda must return to the army to besiege Dading Prefecture. Otherwise, there will be hungry wolves in front and tigers in the back. Winter will be coming again in a blink of an eye. The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for them."

Almost everyone could not help but nodded, thinking that what Zhou Chu and Dr. said was very reasonable. The Dading Mansion was the retreat of the Jurchen army. Now that the retreat is gone, the Jurchen people must be recaptured, otherwise it will affect the whole body. When the situation is completely frustrated, the Jurchen army will fall into an even more awkward position.

Chen Ao smiled slightly, but shook his head and said, "But I don't think so."

Zhou Chu said in surprise: "Your Highness means that Wanyan Aguda will not lead his army to kill him and shoot him back?"

Chen Ao said in a deep voice: "Yes, Wanyan Aguda is a hero of a generation. How can he use common sense to analyze his abilities? Now, it is only a matter of time for the Jurchen army to break the city of Qijin Mansion. If he returns to Dading at this time, it will be a waste of all his previous efforts. Wanyan Aguda will not know this truth. Once he returns to the army, if he cannot take down Dading Mansion in an anxious manner, the Jurchens will be even worse. Therefore, I believe that after Wanyan Aguda heard the news, he dispatched at most 20,000 cavalry northward and acted as an attitude of regaining Dading Mansion. The Jurchen army attacked the city day and night. As long as Qijin Mansion is taken down, the Liao Kingdom will be completely destroyed. The Jurchens can also enter the city to breathe a sigh of relief. Although the food road is blocked, it can be supplemented from Qijin Mansion. In this way, after they accumulate energy, they will go north to fight us in Dading Mansion, and the chance of victory will be much higher."

Zhou Chu couldn't help but say, "But if the Jurchens can't take the Qijin Mansion, would Wanyan Agu Da dare to take this risk?"

Chen Ao said seriously: "If others are naturally afraid to take risks, but who is Wanyan Aguda? This person is calculating and ambitious, how can he return without success? If it were him, he would choose to continue to attack the city. But..." Chen Ao's face became more serious and he said fiercely: "I don't let him Wanyan Aguda get what he wants and want to continue to attack Qijin Mansion? It's not that easy! In any case, Wanyan Aguda must lead his army back. As long as Wanyan Aguda's army is attracted to Dading, this battle will have more chances of victory. Otherwise, once the Jurchen army takes the Qijin Mansion, the whole Yanyun will collapse."

Chen Ao expressed his plans. In his opinion, taking the Dading Mansion can certainly cut off the supply of the Jurchens as much as possible, but the Qijin Mansion is now in danger. Once the Jin army invades the city, the battlefield initiative that he finally robs was very likely to fall back to Wanyan Aguda's hands. Since that is the case, we must find a way to attract the Jurchen army from the Qijin Mansion, no matter what method is used!
