Most of the Song people were embarrassed by the imprisonment of Zhe Yanchong in order to stop the Song Dynasty, but some Song people were not completely satisfied with the next performance of the Han Ministry, such as Qin Hui, who believed that the Han Ministry should implement Zhe Yanchong's concept, resist regardless of Zhe Yanchong's life and death, and fight with the Jin people to the end - such a compromise now is inevitably not brave enough, and "it is not the original intention of the general". Deng Su felt weird when he heard this kind of speech in Bianliang, why was it weird? If he was not in Bianliang but in Jinmen, he would have reacted immediately: this is impossible!

The Han Dynasty is culturally and ethnically close to the Great Song Dynasty, but after all, they have their own subordinates in terms of political power, and they are completely two independent interests in terms of interests! Therefore, the Han Department will have emotional resonance with the Song people, but it is impossible for the people to consider the interests of the Song people as Qin Hui said, they must first think for themselves, and then they can take care of other things. As for asking them to ignore the life and death of Zhi Yanchong in order to protect the Great Song Dynasty, it is completely impossible!

Cao Guangbi's matter in Bianliang was spread to Jinmen and Tanggu through the pigeon book station by station, and Yang Yingqi and Ouyang Shi felt different after reading it: Yang Yingqi was overjoyed and relieved from then on; Ouyang Shi was deeply suspicious, not only suspicious of Zhi Yanchong, Yang Yingqi and Xiao Tienu, but even suspected Cao Guangbi!

"Are they all acting? No, it can't be! Before, the seventh didn't look like he was acting, and the second didn't look like either. ”

Behind the curtain, an old man appeared, coughed and said, "The second general may still be in the dark, but the seventh general is difficult to say." But the matter of the Great General and the Sixth General is probably very suspicious. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "The second child is straight, but he is not a fool. If there is a deception in this matter, will he be fooled? ”

"The second general is not necessarily confused, but he is too imprisoned to help Song to jump out, and he may not know as much news as us, so even if he is kept in the dark for a while, it is reasonable. But on the Seventh General's side, I'm afraid ......"

Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "In this way, it makes sense. If that's the case, then the whole thing makes sense. We couldn't figure out why he wanted to hide this from the seventh if it was the boss's intention. Now it seems that the person the boss wants to hide is actually not the seventh, but the second; It's just that if you want to hide the second child, you have to temporarily hide the seventh child! ”

"Yes, if this matter is really as we guessed, then with the character of the second general, if he had known it in advance, I am afraid that he would not be able to behave without flaws in front of the Great Song Shimin like he is now."

Ouyang Shi groaned: "But what if he knew about it afterwards? Will you blame the boss? ”

"After the fact? At that time, the big thing had been decided, and the second general had no choice. Of course, the general will have to give the second general an explanation anyway. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Now that the boss and the seventh have obviously taken action, shouldn't we also do something?" You can't just sit in Tanggu and do nothing, right? ”

The old man behind the curtain said: "Competing in the world, the first mover may not control others, and the late mover may not control others!" The four generals don't need to be in a hurry, as long as they keep an eye on the five things, they won't be afraid that the world's affairs will get out of our hands. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "The first is to maintain our strength in Daliu and Mayi, the second is to encircle my own family and the Chen family, the third is to secretly help those merchants in eastern Zhejiang to control Liaokou and Subin Mansion (near Vladivostok in later generations), and the fourth is to gain a good foothold in Tanggu...... Well, is that all? ”

"Not bad! The Han Department was able to force peace with the Jurchens in the last war, relying on the money from the East China Sea trade and the large flow of money and grain! Wrap up the Ouyang family and the Chen family, and we will have both public and private stools in the East China Sea! Supporting the merchants of eastern Zhejiang to go north is not only conducive to our control of Liaokou, but also conducive to our establishment of forces in the two Zhejiangs; Maintaining the shipping lanes of the province will not only gradually increase our influence on the Jurchens in the East China Sea, but also control the shipping lanes of Japan and Goryeo along the way; And Tanggu ......" The old man paused and said, "If my expectations are correct, in the hearts of the seven generals, the future capital of the Han Ministry may be Yanjing!" ”

Ouyang Shi's heart was shocked, and he said, "Yanjing...... It's nothing there now! Compared to Jinmen, it is simply desolate! Besides, it's a little far from the Central Plains. ”

"Yanjing has been repeatedly attacked by war in recent years, and it is indeed deserted. However, Jinmen is a port, and its location is too remote and there is no hinterland at all, so it is not suitable as a capital city in the long run. Now Yanjing is indeed nothing, but it is an excellent place to control both inside and outside, Hu and Han are in control, and the mountains and seas are both convenient. The old man sighed: "The foundation of the country lies in agriculture. However, when I look at the politics of the seven generals, I do not specialize in agriculture, but pay equal attention to agriculture, industry and commerce. The foundation of the country was originally to defend the land, but the seven generals had a soft spot for sea goods. Therefore, the capital in his mind will not go deep inland, but it must not be too far away from the existing fundamental place of the Han Dynasty - southern Liaoning. Looking at the fact that he attaches so much importance to the operation of Tanggu, I am afraid that it is also to facilitate the operation of Yanjing in the future. Judging from these various signs, the Seventh General wants to determine that the Han Department is fundamentally in Yanjing, and I am afraid that it is ten likely. ”

Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "If that's the case, then he will think far ahead." ”

"Exactly, that's why it's admirable."

Ouyang Shi said: "If this is the case, then if Yanjing is operated in the future, all manpower and material resources will come from Tanggu." ”

"Not bad! Therefore, if you can lay a foundation in Tanggu, it will be a foundation for the future Yanjing! At that time, the four generals will be able to compete with the seven generals in the center. ”

Ouyang Shi was slightly displeased and said, "Is it just a court?" ”

The old man sighed: "If the future is really as we expected: the foundation is in Yanjing, and there will be many people in Jinmen." Besides, the Seven Generals have long been deeply rooted in the Han Department and are difficult to shake. Even now, we have to follow his train of thought in order to grow smoothly. It would be nice to be able to stand up to him then. ”

Ouyang Shi groaned: "You said five things just now, but now you only said four, what is the other one?" ”

"There is one more thing, which is the big change that is about to happen in Bianliang!" Speaking of this, the old man's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly, and said: "The great change in Bianliang will also be a great change between heaven and earth. Now no one can say what will become of the Central Plains, but no matter who gets the talents, material resources and fame that have escaped due to this great change, whoever has the opportunity to control the Central Plains, and even the entire Great Song Dynasty! ”

Ouyang Shi nodded again and again, took out a letter casually and said, "That Zongwang promised me......

"Leave him alone! It's okay to be perfunctory. The old man said: "From the moment the Jurchens relieved the siege of Liaokou, they had nothing but force!" From the moment the Jurchens involved the Great Song in this chaos, they lost! ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Do you think Zongwang Zonghan can't win the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"This has nothing to do with winning or losing." The old man said: "The Central Plains cannot be conquered by force alone. Even if the Jurchens gained power for a while, they could not get the right to govern. In the end, they will have nothing but exhaust themselves! ”

Ouyang Shi nodded and said, "According to what you say, as long as the Great Song is involved without offending the Song people, then the eldest brother will win?" ”

"In terms of the general trend, it is. At least the situation will develop in a direction favorable to the generals and the Han department. It is precisely because of this that I will assume from the beginning that the general did it on purpose! The old man sighed: "Although the general is in the tiger's den now, he is as stable as Mount Tai!" Because no one will harm him for nothing! As long as he can find a chance to get out and return to southern Liaoning, no one in the world will be able to stop him. ”

Ouyang Shi asked, "We can't either?" ”

The old man was silent for a long time and said, "Fourth General, we didn't take the Great General as an opponent at the beginning, did we?" ”

Ouyang Shi said: "No." ”

"Well, it's better not to dwell on it." The old man said, "The general has the power we don't have, and we can't replace him." Many of our ideas can only be carried out smoothly under the premise of supporting the general, so ......"

Ouyang Shi sneered: "So no matter how many things I do, I still have to be his brother obediently in the end?" Even if he dies, I can only be Yunwen Yunwu's uncle honestly? ”

"Yes."

Ouyang Shi said loudly: "Just because he is the boss? ”

"That's one of those aspects."

Ouyang Shi snorted and said, "What about the other aspects? What else? ”

"Many, many, such as fame, such as force, such as prestige, such as luck...... In a word: the power, power, and skill of the great general are complete. ”

Ouyang Shi said with a slight gloom: "Am I incomplete?" ”

"Incomplete." The old man sighed: "He is the only one in the Han tribe who is complete. Even looking at the northern country, only Chief Akuta Nahao, who died a few years ago, has been intact. After Ah Gu was killed, no one in the Jin Kingdom had such fortune again. The general trend is like this, those who go along with it are unimpeded, and those who go against it are difficult to move an inch. If you are reluctant to change, and you may not succeed in the end, even if you succeed, then the price that the entire Han Department will have to pay is probably very heavy. This is not something that the old man is happy to see, and I hope that the four generals will not be obsessed with this. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Now the strategy of the seventh brother, the courage of the second child and our plan are all in the same direction as the boss's interests, which means that the situation has developed to this point, even if my eldest brother does nothing, as long as he can save his life in the end, the one who wins must be him?" ”

"Yes, although many people are reluctant to admit it, but it is the truth. Of course, these are just our expectations, things in the world are changing so fast, no one can say what will happen tomorrow beyond our calculations and beyond our calculations, but in terms of the general trend, among all the heroes that have appeared, the general has the greatest chance of winning. ”
