Chapter Forty-Five: The Tiger
ter>
"So I think that the barbarian is a double-edged sword, which can be used by me and can hurt us unguarded, and here is a premise, that is, we are strong enough.
Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, and those who do not seek the eternal world are not enough to seek a moment, and there is never a simple or partial war, and it is only a profit or loss made on the basis of the overall situation.
This southern expedition is a war that my Great Song Dynasty fought on the premise of stabilizing the west and the north, and the old man and Yunhou all believe that this is the best time to stabilize the south of my Great Song Dynasty in World War I, once it is missed, it will be very difficult to mobilize heavy troops to attack the south next time.
Now that the Capture Army has reappeared in Hanhai, although the main enemy they face is the Qingtang people, it will not be long before they will appear in Huanzhou and Hengshan, which is an inevitable thing.
And Yelu Hongji is now hunting in his southern palace, and more than 100,000 iron armor will be guarded in Nanjing, less than 800 miles away from my Hejian Mansion, and now it can be said that the wind and clouds are loose, as long as he is a little careless, the war will be rekindled.
Liao Prime Minister Li Yan made the road to the strength of the west wind, but fortunately, Yelu Hongji did not understand the meaning, and filled in the sentence with "Yesterday, Huang Jufu was described, and Jin Ying was cut into pieces." There is still a lingering fragrance in the sleeves, and the cold west wind can't blow. "Four lines of poetry are given to each other, and it seems that the signing between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State can be adhered to for a few years, but this time will not be too long."
Di Qing arched his hand and said to the emperor that the last time he spoke freely like this was when he was in Kuizhou eight years ago.
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "A drink and a peck are not predetermined, if you want to control the tiger, you must first have the ability to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, the two Aiqing are my sharpest minions, the country has a lot of power with the help of Aiqing, don't forget to temper from time to time, once the tiger is out of the cage, it is necessary to make the beasts panic." ”
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "One or two fierce tigers are harmful to the country, only when the dynasty is full of bears, can Your Majesty really show its ambitions." This bit of prosperity of my Great Song Dynasty can also last forever. If there is no strong military force, the richer the dynasty will be, the more miserable the end, who has pitied the elk since ancient times? ”
Bao Zheng put his hand in his sleeve without saying a word, and when Zhao Zhen saw Bao Zheng from a high place, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Why don't Bao Qing's family come up and talk about it?" There's plenty of light here. Instead of feeling the chill, I was sweating all over. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Di Qing, and Yun Zheng and the two bewitched the saint, so that His Majesty forgot the majesty of the emperor, since he wanted to talk, how could there be any reason to negotiate on the wall."
Di Qing laughed and said: "Bao Xiren, the old man is grounded now, and Yunhou is also grounded, and they are all people who can't get out of the house." The only way to get together is this wall. ”
Bao Zheng looked up at Di Qing and Yun Zheng coldly and said, "Although the two of you are in the mansion, I'm afraid your hands and feet have already started killing people outside, right?" My Kaifeng Mansion is not a battlefield for your two armies to clash, and I can't accommodate the dead all over the ground.
The old man also wanted to ask the two military masters, what is the crime of killing people without an order? ”
Zhao Zhen said strangely: "Why did Aiqing say this? ”
Bao Zheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, a total of 37 good-looking boys and boys have disappeared in Tokyo City recently. Weichen is stepping up the investigation of this matter, but he doesn't want anyone to intervene from the middle, and he is extremely ruthless, and thirty-seven boys are missing, and the wicked people in Kaifeng Mansion who are corpses are more than seventy people, and the tragedy of death is shocking.
The old man doesn't ask those who are innocent. The old man only asked the two generals, who gave you the courage to kill people and sell goods, and treat my Great Song Dynasty law as nothing? ”
Zhao Zhen was taken aback, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Di Qing and Yun Zheng, if what Bao Zheng said was true, this really couldn't be ignored.
Yun Zheng frowned. Directly asked the monkey and Han Niu: "Can someone go out without permission during this time?" ”
The monkey blinked his eyes and said: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, our family can only have seventy-two armor soldiers according to the military law of the Great Song Dynasty, and this also counts the two slaves and maids. No one went out. ”
Yun Zheng said with a gloomy face: "Call all of them, please ask Kaifeng Mansion Yin to inquire." ”
Not only did Yun Zheng make such an order, but Di Qing also made the same order, his family will have nine more people than the Yun family, since Bao Zheng has said his accusation, the work of face must be done.
Bao Zheng coldly refused: "Wen Xinhou, no need, the old man only asks you one word, do you know Yan Shouchuan?" ”
Yun Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I don't know!" Then he asked Bao Zheng with a smile: "Does Fu Yin think that I should know this person?" ”
Bao Zheng was about to make a sarcastic speech, Lang Tan, who was sitting in Yun Zheng's shed, suddenly said: "Junhou, this person knows his humble position, the bandits in Jiuhua Mountain in Shuzhong are exterminated by his humble duties, and the second master of Jiuhua Mountain is called Yan Shouchuan, this person is extremely cunning, under the encirclement and suppression of the army, he actually jumped into the water to survive, and he is the only thief who has escaped the net, is this person that Fu Yin is talking about?" ”
Yun Zheng frowned and said, "What characteristics?" ”
This man is eight feet tall, thin, with thick limbs, but he does not like to use blades, and his weapons are all taken from green bamboo, which is known as "bamboo leaf green" in Shu, and is extremely poisonous. ”
Yun Zheng nodded and asked Bao Zheng: "But this person?" ”
Bao Zheng didn't answer, looked at Di Qing and said loudly: "The Mo knife hand is extinct, but if there is a person with a Mo knife and a height of nine feet, I'm afraid it is from the Western Army, right?" Cutting off the cooked copper stick with one knife and beheading more than half of the corpse, the old man couldn't think of such a warrior except for the Western Army. ”
Di Qing said helplessly: "There is indeed a Mo knife hand in the Western Army, this is a special retro military branch of the old man in recent years, just because this kind of person is the best killer to deal with the cavalry.
But this kind of person is only suitable for joint attacks, not for fighting alone, Fu Yin said that a knife to cut off the cooked copper stick, can also behead more than half of the corpse, to be honest, although the old man is not strong now, he can barely reach it, just because of this evidence, it is too much to say that I am waiting for the dead to live, don't you say, Fu Yin official? ”
Bao Zheng said coldly; "The reason why the old man came to the house is not to arrest the criminals, but to sue the two of them, don't be involved with these extremely murderous people, if the people in Tokyo City are a flock of sheep, these people are the most ferocious hungry wolves, hungry wolves appear in the wilderness, the desert is not unusual, appearing in Tokyo City will attract a great disaster.
If a few wolves discover this secret, maybe countless hungry wolves will swarm immediately, and when they see such a person, the old man will definitely kill him at any cost! ”
Yun Zheng rubbed his cheeks and said, "I don't have any opinion on you killing these people, but you said that Tokyo people are a flock of sheep, maybe it's a little biased, right?" And from your words, I found one thing, do you think that in the city of Tokyo, Di Shuai and I are also strangers, and we are also hungry wolves, so as long as my kind commits a crime, you will directly torture me and Di Shuai, what is the reason? ”
Bao Zheng said seriously: "You are not hungry wolves, you are white-fronted insects!" Ge Dongsheng of Si Tianjian once said that the bloody light in the alley outside Xuanwu Gate is nourishing the broken army, and the greedy wolf is two stars, which indicates that there will be a big killing in the world. ”
Yun Zheng looked at Di Qing, who was pale and suspicious, and then at Zhao Zhen, who was expressionless, scratched the back of his head and asked, "Won't it?" We are generals, and what we do is to kill people, this time in Guangnan seems to have killed a bit more, but those are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and there are some Jiaozhi people, Dali people, which is good for the Great Song Dynasty.
Besides, Bao Xiren, you are a disciple of Confucianism, and the sage said to respect ghosts and gods and stay away, how can you use such a thing to determine our behavior, do you think that Di Shuai and I will change to vegetarianism from now on, and we will eliminate this catastrophe if we don't kill people again? If it's true, I'll start being a vegetarian from tomorrow, and I won't kill people when I lead the army to fight in the future, can I persuade them with reason?
That Ge Dongsheng can really see the blood rushing to the sky from my head? If that's the case, wouldn't Lao Tzu become a big candle, standing brightly between heaven and earth, so that Lao Tzu is still a fart in the battle, as long as people see blood rushing to the sky somewhere, just let the army attack there, kill me, and this battle will be won immediately.
Your Majesty, when Wechen fights next time, please send Ge Dongsheng to the front of the army, Wechen's head is full of blood, then, if you don't hide it, it must be the same on the head of the Jiao Guluo generation, as long as Ge Dongsheng determines where the blood is soaring, Weichen will rush with the army, and behead Jiao Guluo, and all the credit for not hiding Pang belongs to him, and if I don't find these two people, I will immediately behead Ge Dongsheng to show the public, what do you think of Bao Xiren? ”
Bao Zheng still said with an unchanged face: "You know what I said is not what I mean, you know that what I want to say is that you and the people in Tokyo are two different people, your survival is a great increase in their danger, I am a herdsman official, and what I do is different from you generals, I hope that the people under my rule will live and work in peace and contentment, and there may be some low-intensity injuries, which are also within their tolerance."
Do you know how surprised the old man was when he saw those corpses, it is not the first choice of the herdsmen to fight violence, but the choice of you generals, the hearts of the common people are fragile, and they cannot withstand your rough actions.
The old man doesn't have any evidence to prove that you did these things, even if the two marshals did it, with your unstoppable arrangement, it is impossible to give me any clues.
With a little agility in my heart, I beg the two commanders to use your rough force at the border gates, not in the city of Tokyo. ”
Yun Zheng sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen invited himself to go out, Qinzhou is a good place, Wechen wants to try to recover the land of Hehuang, I'm afraid Tokyo City can't stay." ”
Di Qing also followed: "Since Yunhou wants to go to Qinzhou, the old minister will go to Hejian Mansion, these two places are the strategic places of my Great Song Dynasty, and there is no room for mistakes, once something goes wrong, the enemy army will drive straight in, although the old minister is old, it is still feasible to be an old pawn." ”
Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "Could it really be that you did this?" ”
Yun Zheng smiled: "It doesn't matter if we did it at all, anyway, Master Bao has already decided that we did it, since this is the case, it is logical for us to ask to go out." ”
