868.Chapter 868: Hu Feng Rises Again
(Siku Shu)
With the re-gathering of the northern Jin army, the constant transmission of Guantang shocked the Great Song Dynasty. The court was okay to say that there was no heretical sound.
The people, but it was rumored that the Jurchens would defeat the alliance and go south, and people scolded one by one. Nima, before the handwriting of the North-South Covenant is dry, the Jurchens are impatient to fight with arms, they are simply shameless villains, using the covenant as a piece of paper, and not letting people celebrate Tianan's birthday?
Moreover, the party is preparing to attack Pingqiang City, and it is obvious that it is a villain's behavior.
That is, a few days, the wind direction suddenly reversed, and the Jin army once again gathered 150,000 horses and infantry troops to go south, and the momentum was quite huge.
When the rumors along the river were loud, the news was confirmed that the left deputy marshal of Dajin Wushu passed on the edict of the Jurchen Lang, claiming that he would lead an army of 400,000 to the south to escort the Zigong of Zhao Ji of the Southern Dynasty to the south.
The 40,000 elite Jurchens gathered from the north, the original soldiers and horses from all walks of life, were on standby in their respective military states, and they automatically joined the escort team from the Zigong Palace.
For a while, everyone didn't know what to say, and the newly appointed Xuanfu of the Wulu Xuanfu Division made Cai Yi obviously at a loss.
Although, after the formation and training of the major camps were completed, the forbidden army was forbidden, and the township guards were issued to complete the assembly, the strategic direction of the camps was clarified, and it was no longer their own battles.
However, if they really escort the Taishang coffin into the country, will they fight or not? Fight, that's the Zigong that escorted Zhao Ji, if you don't fight, will it cost you your life to let the Jin army cross the river!
The two governments also felt embarrassed, the government and the opposition simply turned upside down, and people's vision turned to the bottom of the bottom to face the Jin army, or to clear the wall, and the Jin army crossed the river to Luoyang.
After all, people occupy the righteousness, and there is Taishang Zi Palace, and they must not be beaten on the bright side, but they can only discuss whether to let it go or not.
Wang Xiucheng has a bamboo in his chest, and the strategy of the Jurchens is very clear, that is, to help the party members contain the pace of the Great Song Dynasty attack, and let the party people capture Pingqiang City, with a strong Zhang Qiyuan flavor.
How to say that it is to contain the pace of the offensive, that is, the Great Song Dynasty has always maintained an offensive posture on the edge of Shaanxi, and Pingqiang City is a thorn in Xia's soft abdomen, an important offensive base.
Zhao Chen couldn't hold his breath anymore, and hurriedly convened a meeting of the six important ministers of the two prefectures and monks to discuss how to deal with the Jurchens. Well, due to the continuous deepening of the new official system, the status of the six ministries of Shangshu Province has been improved again, and they have entered the decision-making circle.
According to Wang Xiu's meaning, the expansion of the six departments is certain, and a lot of yamen will be derived, and the Guozi Supervisor will be abolished and set up a school department to govern the Tianxia Teaching, the voice is very high, and it has been tacitly approved by Wang Xiu, but it is only the highest level of Shangshu Ministry, and it must be dominated by six departments, that is to say, Shangshu Province can increase the number of ministries, but it must be divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Everyone has their own thoughts, you say yours and I will mine, Zhao Chen is at a loss, I don't know whether to send troops to block or let the river cross.
Wang Xiu didn't say a word, watched coldly, and hung up high on his own business. Of course, it wasn't really his business, he needed to look at it again before he could decide what to say.
"The captives are not credible, the ink of the alliance has not dried, and the army is going south again, and it is even an excuse to return to the Zigong Palace, and do the disgusting thing of containing blackmail, which is unbearable, please send troops to fight." Zhao Ding was very dissatisfied with the North-South Alliance, he kept saying that the captives were cunning and untrustworthy, and sure enough, the League's handwriting was not dry, and he went south again.
Of course, he is not a fool, he can see that the Jurchens are holding back the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Northern Servants are unable to reinforce Shaanxi, it seems that there is still a bit of blackmail, and the cost of escorting the 400,000 troops alone is a huge expense.
When Wang Xiu heard Zhao Ding say that, he knew that this guy understood, and a strange smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, but he still didn't say a word.
Li Gang frowned slightly, and secretly scolded Zhao Ding Meng Lang, the Jurchens have ulterior motives, but they stand on the righteousness, how do you want to break the Taishang Zi Palace, at least in terms of morality, he will be reduced to a moral inferiority, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhao's words are wrong!" ”
Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows slightly, how could he have thought that Wang Xiu did not refute, Li Gang became an outcropping bird, and said unhappily: "I don't know what Lord Li means?" ”
"Let me ask, what are the chances of winning if the imperial court starts a war along the river and Shaanxi at the same time? What's more, the captives returned the Taishang Zi Palace under the pretext of returning it, how do you fight? Li Gang asked the point, metaphorically saying that Zhao Ding should not talk nonsense if he does not know soldiers.
"Since they are clearly trying to contain the imperial court, they can't let them succeed." Without waiting for Zhao Ding to speak, Xu Han came first.
The corners of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched, it seems that few people who can stand in the main hall are fools, and everyone can understand the shape.
The Jurchens played this hand like the Khitan blackmail back then, in addition to helping the party members contain the main force of the Northern Servant Army, they also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits. Some people want to take advantage of the opportunity to make dangerous moves and counterattack the Jurchens with a tough attitude, which is absolutely reluctant in public and private.
He was really a little disappointed in Zhao Ding, this upright and loyal minister in his impression, but he was a little too selfish, too persistent in right and wrong, and the main reason for the tragedy in history, Qin Hui was impartial, and his power was thriving, is fate really inevitable? If it continues, he really can't help but make a move.
Lu Haowen is a very practical person, he doesn't care what you think, but says aloud: "Shaanxi and along the river are all dangerous to defend, and it is not difficult to resist the enemy, but the Wushu is coerced by Taishang Zi Palace, in case a large army crosses the river, how to deal with it?" ”
This is the key of the key, the Jurchens are demonstrating and blackmailing, but once they want to cross the river and face the river, will they resist or wait and see? No one dares to make a conclusion, after all, the north and the south have been at war for more than ten years, and there is no new appointment between them.
The Jin army is likely to take advantage of the problem to launch an offensive against Kaifeng, or it is possible to take a flank offensive and directly pass through Mengzhou to Henan Mansion.
It's one thing to say it, it's another thing to do it.
"What does Lord Wang think?"
When Li Gang's words came, everyone stopped talking, and their eyes fell on Wang Xiu, which caught him off guard and secretly scolded Li Gang for being a bastard.
However, as the prime minister, he had to express his position, cleared his throat, and said: "Your Majesty, it is not enough to be afraid of Wushu going south, and the great trouble of the imperial court lies in the northwest." ”
Zhao Chen's face was very ugly, this was equivalent to not saying it, the Jurchens went south, but there was no imminent siege of Pingqiang City by party members, and he said bluntly: "The prince said it." ”
"Obviously, the captives are just trying to contain the court, and they want to get cheap. It was because they didn't take advantage of the last covenant, and His Majesty could take advantage of this opportunity to return the Taishang Zi Palace. Wang Xiu paused, feeling very uncomfortable, his son still had to recognize others, which was really unacceptable, but for the sake of the great cause, he endured it.
"Oh, what do you say?" Zhao Chen is finally a little interested, and the matter of welcoming back Zigong is not trivial!
