Chapter 29: The Truth of the Water Margin
Relatively speaking, Feng Ye is not in a hurry to clean up the Great Song Dynasty, because the Great Song Dynasty is now in power by a traitorous minister, and the national strength will only get weaker and weaker. When Zhao Ji repairs Genyue again, and then plays a wave of Huashigang, Fang La in Jiangnan, Tian Hu in Hebei, and Wang Qing in Huaixi, they should all revolt.
After the Great Song Dynasty leveled these rebels, the elite Western Army was almost done. Basically, Da Song has half of his life left. At that time, it would be effortless to clean up Zhao Ji's father and son. That's the best time to do it.
On the contrary, the Liao side needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible. Because if it drags on any longer, the Jin State will rise, and once the Jin State rises, it will devour the corpse of the Liao State and quickly become stronger.
If you clean up the Great Song Dynasty first, and then you have to deal with the anti-thief forces in various places, then there will be a powerful enemy in the north, and the gains will outweigh the losses. So the order of precedence is important. If the order is right, you will get twice the result with half the effort, that is, you will choose the easy difficulty, and if the order is wrong, it will be hellish difficulty, and maybe it will be cold.
Therefore, Feng Ye's plan is to occupy the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun first, and then clean up the Liao State, and eat the Liao State before the rise of the Jin State, and not give the Jin State a chance to rise, but don't worry, there is still a period of time before the rise of the Jin State, and the Liao State can be eaten during this time.
The current Jin country is a group of poor and arrogant barbarians, and it will do nothing good to beat them. After destroying the Liao State, he is giving some benefits to the barbarians of the Jin State, and it is easy to subdue them. After all, everyone is a family behind closed doors, and when the time comes, let them play with sticks.
If you want to talk about peace talks, the Great Song Dynasty is still very experienced, after all, people are professionals, and they have been committed to peace talks with Western Xia and Liao for so many years. The one that the year tribute sent is called a six.
Feng Ye didn't have time to talk to them, there were still a lot of things going on in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, and Feng Ye's request was very simple. In the future, the Great Song Dynasty did not need to give the annual tribute to the Liao State, and it was just sent directly to the Youyun General's Mansion.
In the end, the two sides signed a contract: the Youyun General's Mansion helped the Great Song Dynasty resist the invasion of the Liao State, and the Great Song Dynasty provided 1 million stone of grain and grass for the Youyun General's Mansion every year. In the cordial and friendly exchanges, the two sides ended the war perfectly.
Feng Ye also successfully picked up Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Lin Chong's family and others in the city. When the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty saw the troops of more than 100 people brought out by Wu Song, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his head. I was secretly glad in my heart: Fortunately, the imperial court chose peace talks, otherwise once Feng Ye led the army to attack the city, maybe these ambushes in the city would be able to open the city gate from the inside and outside.
It was not that the messenger was cowardly, and feared more than a hundred people. But now in Tokyo's Bianliang Mansion, he is excessively boasting about the combat effectiveness of the Youyun Iron Cavalry. The mountain of corpses last night had already frightened these powerless civil officials, and some of them were gone.
If it was before the war, he would never have taken this small army of more than 100 people into account. It's just that now there is preaching everywhere in Tokyo that Feng Ye's Youyun Iron Rider can each be a hundred. He couldn't be afraid.
In fact, among these people, only the one hundred Youyun Iron Cavalry led by Wu Song had combat effectiveness, and the rest of Lu Zhishen subdued the splashy skin, as well as the old and young of Lin Chong's family. These people are all incapable of fighting.
In fact, the current Dongning Bianliang Mansion is not without masters, such as Xu Ning, the golden gunner, and Ma Xuanzan of Choujun, all of whom are masters of murderous stars. It's just that these people can go to the battlefield because of their status. It can be seen from this that the Great Song Dynasty did not attach importance to martial artists.
The golden gunner Xu Ning, in the Suwei Palace, the status of Choujun Ma Xuanzan was too low, and he had no chance to come to the emperor to ask for battle. These people who have the ability, no matter how big the ability, cannot be reused, and can only hold back.
As for whether there are masters in the Great Song court, Feng Ye thinks that there should be, the Great Song Dynasty does not attach importance to martial artists, but only guards against martial artists to lead troops. There's no reason why you shouldn't pay attention to your own guards. For example, the lineage of Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain, which has been worshiped by the Great Song Dynasty for generations.
At the beginning of the Water Margin, it was Zhang Tianshi who suppressed the 108 demon gods. Taiwei Hong let go of the 108 Demon Gods, which was actually premeditated. After all, it is written on the stone tablet: open in case of flood.
Feng Ye pondered, why did Song Jiang, as the leader of the 108 Demon Gods, think about Zhao'an surrendering to the imperial court? and then consume these 108 Demon Gods in the wars against the thieves and the Liao State again and again.
For the Great Song Dynasty, it has continued its life for hundreds of years. Otherwise, Fang La raised troops to occupy the south of the Yangtze River, with the Yangtze River in hand, although the Western Army could fight, but after all, it was not good at water warfare, as long as Fang La held out for a few years. When Jin Bing called, where was the Southern Song Dynasty?
Maybe it was when he escaped from Longhu Mountain, he was moved by that Zhang Tianshi. Let Song Jiang, the leader of the 108 demon gods, have a problem with his brain when he is reincarnated, so he has no strength, and then he still takes these demon gods and works hard for the Great Song Dynasty. Let the Great Song Dynasty extend its life for more than 150 years.
The more Feng Ye thought about it, the more he felt that his thoughts should be the truth, and there were still masters in the Great Song Dynasty. Now that they have gained benefits, they have successfully solved the threat in the south of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. In the future, you can concentrate on cleaning up the Liao Kingdom.
When Feng Ye met Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, he also met with Lin Chong. The head of the 800,000 forbidden army is now full of grief and indignation. thought that he was loyal to the court, but because a gentleman fell in love with his wife, he was going to kill him.
"Meet General Youyun!" Lin Chong saw Feng Ye, and under Lu Zhishen's introduction, he stepped forward to salute. Feng Ye looked at Lin Chong, the head of the Tianxiong Star Leopard, with a leopard's head and eyes, the appearance of a swallow jaw and tiger whiskers, and a height of about 1.9 meters, looking like a fierce general.
Lin Chong, the head of the Tianxiong Star Leopard, ranked sixth among the 108 demon gods. Feng Ye hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Chong and said boldly: "Leopard head Lin Chong, I have also admired the name for a long time!
This is why Lin Jiaotou has secretly invested in the pearl for so many years. Our Youyun General's Mansion is a good place to show off your skills. With the ability of the head of the Lin sect, if he goes to the battlefield in the future, with his ability, he will fight to make a wife and a son, how can it be difficult?"
Feng Ye's words, not only Lin Chong was very excited, but even Wu Song, the Ruan brothers, Lu Zhishen and others were also hot in their hearts. In the Great Song Dynasty, these warriors were despised by others, and their great abilities had nowhere to show.
Without saying a word all the way, Feng Ye took Youyun Iron Ride and returned to Nanjing Mansion in Youzhou. Zhu Wu was greatly relieved to know that the Song army had retreated. Don't look at the 200,000 army that looks bluffing. But these are all recruits, and the combat effectiveness is all scum. Facing the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty. He was also very apprehensive in his heart. Now that Feng Ye is back, he can be relieved.
