Chapter 204 Siliang General (I)

The country is in danger and thinks of good generals.

When the building was about to collapse, the Song court finally remembered the way of the planter, and restarted it at the end of the seventh year of Xuanhe, and ordered him to requisition and transfer military rations as an envoy of Hedong and Hebei Road.

Seed Master Dao was seventy-five years old at this time, old and sick, and had been hung by the imperial court for a long time, but when he heard that the country was in trouble, he did not hesitate, completely ignoring the advice of his nephew Chong Wei to help the sick on the road. Tong Guan had tens of thousands of troops in Taiyuan, and when he heard that Jin Bing was going to be in the future, he fled when he heard the news; At this time, there were only two or three thousand soldiers under the cultivation master, but the temporarily assembled soldiers bravely set out to fight.

On the way to Bianliang, he met Yao Pingzhong's army, which was about to return to Shaanxi, and the seed master Dao immediately requisitioned this army as an envoy of the Lianghe system, and combined it into 7,000 people to go east to the king. This group of men and horses did not go fast at first, because in the heart of the cultivator, the Jin army wanted to conquer Zhongshan, break the calm, and cross the Yellow River, and it was impossible without a month or two of hard fighting, and he just used the time of the march to reorganize the army. But he didn't expect that the border defense of the two rivers would collapse so quickly, and he didn't expect Zong Wang to dare to take risks, bypassing the fortified city and approaching Bianliang. When he arrived in Luoyang on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Jin soldiers had already arrived at the city of Bianliang. The planter Dao was taken aback when he heard the news, and hurriedly ordered to hurry.

Yao Pingzhong said: "Now the enemy is sharp, our army is small, and King Qin's army has not gathered, so it is better to stay in Bishui to seek everything." ”

The planter was lying in the car and sighed: "It is because the division of King Qin has not gathered, so you have to be in a hurry!" There are few soldiers in our army, if I hesitate to enter, and the Jin people will see through my reality and show my feelings, and I can only bring humiliation on myself when I come to the Jin army! For today's plan, if the drum marches forward, so that the golden people cannot measure my reality and reality. And the military and people of Bianliang know that I will be in the future, and their morale will be boosted! There are a lot of soldiers and horses in the capital, and there is plenty of food and grass, as long as the morale is up, it will be able to hold on! He added, "I am old and sick, and I can't rush to go." 3,000 cavalry pay you as the vanguard! I hope that the general will not break the prestige of my western soldiers! ”

Yao Pingzhong said proudly: "Don't disgrace your life!" ”

At that moment, Yao Pingzhong led 3,000 cavalry straight to Bianliang, and along the way, he unveiled the false words and led a million western soldiers to Qinwang. Zong Wang was really suspicious, and led the troops a little.

When the officers of the common people in Bianliang City heard that the planter was coming, they all raised their hands and said: "The seed is here!" We're saved! ”

Cao Guangbi heard that the planter was coming, and said to Deng Su: "Bianliang is okay. ”

Zhao Huan was also overjoyed in the palace, and sent a decree to open the door and ordered Li Gang to go to greet Lao.

Seed Master Dao sat in the carriage and listened to the cheers of the soldiers and civilians in the city outside, and said to Seed Tree: "The morale has been boosted, and the Beijing master has no worries." When he heard that the ruling Li Gang was coming, he hurriedly helped his nephew's hand trembling and walked out of the car.

Li Gang greeted him, announced the emperor's condolences, and sighed: "The master is not aware of the enemy, and this time it is too late." Fortunately, Li Youcheng presided over the overall situation, and Fang Bao was unhindered. ”

Li Gang hurriedly humbled and saw that the master was sick, and now this old man who seemed to be falling apart at any time was the pillar of the Great Song Army's heart, so he couldn't be careless, so he hurriedly invited him to get in the car and led him into the palace to face the saint.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Dazai Li Bangyan and others came to greet him, and after greeting him, Li Bangyan whispered: "Seed Shaobao, now the peace agreement between the court and Dajin has been completed, and the saint has made a move, and the one who speaks of war is guilty!" When you meet with the Holy One, you must not fight against the Holy Heart. ”

The seed master sneered: "No war, no war, I hope Li Dazai can say with a three-inch tongue that the Jurchen will cut the land and pay compensation, call the ministers and retire the army, that is the blessing of the court and the blessing of the world." ”

Li Bangyan's face changed drastically, and he retreated.

Zhao Huan looked down on the dragon chair, carefully looked at the young man who was relied on by everyone as a savior, and saw that he was so old that he only had a handful of bones left, and somehow he was able to force back those wolf-like golden soldiers.

The seed master said: "Your Majesty, this Jurchen chief does not know the art of war!" Zhongshan、It's really decided to take a detour and go straight to my fundamental place! This is a dangerous move, and if you can't kill the enemy, you will suffer! Throughout the ages, there is no lone soldier who can go deep into the enemy territory and return well! ”

Zhao Huan was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked, "......What does the Qing family mean?"

The seed master said: "Since ancient times, the Hu people have been difficult to beat, because the cavalry has been fluctuating and unpredictable. Now the Jurchens dare to cross the river and come, under the city of Chen Bing, it is the sky that wraps its feet, and it is a dead end! The plan of the superiors, Mo Ruo and the snake, when the army of the king of Qin gathered, ordered to besiege in all directions, even if it could not make these tens of thousands of Huma die, but also his Jurchen clan was greatly damaged. ”

Zhao Huan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and only after a while did he say, "What...... What the? Still...... Still going to fight? ”

The planter said, "Yes! With this victory under the city, the west road of Jin Bing will inevitably retreat in fear, and the siege of Taiyuan will be relieved without a fight. Our army pursues the victory, and Yanyun can also recover! This is a one-and-done plan, and I ask the Holy God to make a clear decision. ”

Chen Bangyan shouted on the side: "Seed Shaobao, do you know how fierce this Jurchen is?" How dare you speak up here! ”

The seed master reprimanded: "The Hu people are fierce, can't my Great Song sergeant fight?" And now our army is several times larger than the other, and it has the geographical advantage, even if the field battle is not won, dragging them can drag them to death. ”

"Drag?" Zhao Huan exclaimed: "How long will it take?" ”

The seed master said: "On the way to the palace, I have heard from Li Youcheng that the Beijing division has 400,000 quintals of grain, and with this military food, it is enough to fight for a long time!" ”

Zhao Huan said: "What does the Qing family mean, do you mean that we will definitely win?" ”

The seed master said: "The Jin people are brave and good at fighting, and it may be disadvantageous to engage with them, but the Jin people have few soldiers, and they will definitely not be able to eat me." He can't eat me, if he wants to retreat, and he is afraid that I will cover his back road, he will inevitably fall into a dilemma! As long as he is tempered for one day, his strength will be reduced by one point, and our army's chances of victory will be increased by one point. As long as the court and the generals are united, the final victor will be our army. ”

The meaning of the cultivation of the master is actually very obvious, that is, to offset the sharpness of the Jin army with the advantage of the number of soldiers and horses, so that the advantages of the Song army's local combat can be brought into play, this strategy is very close to Xiao Tienu's "change" thinking, if this strategy makes Xiao Tienu more direct, that is, to use soldiers as cannon fodder in exchange for the final victory.

However, there are still two conditions for the smooth implementation of this strategy: first, there must be a handsome person in the army who is capable of completing this military layout, and second, there must be a leader in the DPRK and China who has the courage to persevere! At the beginning, Liaokou was able to do this because he had Wanyan Hu and Yang Kaiyuan at the same time, and Jinmen made Zongwang dare not despise it because Yang Yingqi and Cao Guangbi were in the city at the same time. And now Bianliang does not have this condition: the master may have this ability, but Zhao Huan never has the courage! When he heard that there was still a hard fight to be fought - and that it was a battle that could be lost, where did he dare to say yes? Hurriedly interrupted the words of the seed master: "Seed Qing family! This is absolutely unacceptable! ”

The planter was stunned and said, "Why is this? ”

Zhao Huan said: "Now we have signed a contract with Jinren. If you go back on your word, won't you lose your trust in the world? ”

The planter admonished: "How can the alliance under the city be accurate? Even if it is to make peace, it needs to be a peace treaty that is fought down with soldiers and horses to be guaranteed. ”

Zhao Huan shook his head again and again when he heard this: "No, no! In short, the peace agreement was made by me, if I regret it, where will the Qing family be placed? ”

This is a bit heavy, and when the planter heard this, he hurriedly pleaded guilty, but still said: "Even if peace is negotiated, the peace contract needs to be renegotiated." The three towns are especially unbreakable! Baozhou is where the grave of Xuanzu (Song Taizu's grandfather) is located, once it is cut off, how can the descendants be safe? ”

Zhao Huan saw that the seed master retreated, and while feeling a little relieved, his waist straightened a little, and said: "The discussion of peace and war has been agreed by the prime minister, and there is no need to say more about this matter!" "Words are not to be opposed!

If Yang Yingqi is here, he has determined the war and the interests in his heart, and he must design to force the master to obey; If Xiao Tienu and the breeder change places, I am afraid that they will immediately find a way to seize the military power and force the emperor to conquer in person. But the master Dao knew that the Song Dynasty did not allow military generals to discuss politics, so he just lowered his head at the moment, his cheeks twitched for a long time, and then he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the old minister is in the affairs of the military, and the rest dare not know." ”
