154 No retreat, no attack
"General Wu, my name is Zu Sheyu, and I'm from the East Palace." Zong Shu reported his name.
Ancestral Sheyu? When Wu Jue heard this name, he always felt that he had heard it somewhere.
Zong Shu is not yet twenty years old, as the so-called "men's twenty crowns and words", you must pass the age of weak crowns before you can take words.
If a person does not have words, it means that he has not officially grown up.
Zong Shu's mind turned around just now, and suddenly it occurred to him that because he injured the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Rope Fruit, he was asked by Huizong to "be arrested and brought to justice", would it be transmitted to the barracks?
"It turned out to be my grandfather, disrespectful and disrespectful." Wu Jue immediately gave up.
Father-in-law? How do Wu Jue's eyes look? actually regarded himself as a eunuch.
Niu Gao and Cao Zongshen both held back their laughter, and they didn't know what the young master thought, so they gave a fake name and asked people to contact the eunuch.
Most of the eunuchs are from poor families, and they really have no choice but to enter the palace.
Once you become a eunuch and can't get into a high position, even your family will dislike it, and you won't even be allowed to enter the ancestral tomb after death.
Ancestor Sheyu, which means that the ancestors have abandoned me! As soon as Wu Jue heard that Zong Shu was coming from the East Palace, there was a high probability that he would be a eunuch.
Since the name is spoken, it can't be changed, and the deception continues.
"General Wu, I am in good health, the parts are all there, I and the attendant talk about Wu Fei, Wu is not, they are all for the prince."
Zong Shu said.
"Alas, what an offense just now! Wanwang Haihan is one. Wu Jue asked, "How is my brother in the East Palace?" ”
Zong Shu smiled: "Okay, I heard that you came to the north with the prince of the scriptures, and you are there every day, woo hoo lament." ”
Sure enough, this person was from the East Palace.
Wu Jue is very aware of his brother Wu Fei's habits, and he looks worried about the country and the people every day, either whining or mourning.
"Ancestral servant, what are you teaching in the East Palace?"
Wu Jue felt that there were two attendants in the East Palace, and it was possible to compete with each other or even fall into each other.
"I don't teach anything, your brother Wu is not, he is a talent for exploring flowers, and I only like to pick flowers, uh, fold flowers. As the saying goes, explore flowers, pick flowers and fold flowers, and start with flowers, haha, you know. ”
Zong Shu's words dispelled Wu Jue's doubts, this person obviously had no knowledge, and he couldn't compare with Wu Fei.
Wu Jue has been in the army for a long time, so naturally he often goes out to have fun, and in the barracks, chatting with colleagues and sergeants, it is indispensable to play with colors.
The sentence "you know" shortened the distance between Wu Jue and Zong Shu.
Sure enough, the next communication was much smoother.
Zong Shu explained his intention, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked him to meet with the Minister of Fortune in person to tell him a major military secret.
Wu Jue's face became solemn, and he asked Zong Shu and the others to wait in the tent, saying that the prime minister was in Xiongzhou City, discussing military aircraft with Tong Taiwei and other generals, and as soon as he came back, he would report back.
Zong Shu, Niu Gao and Cao Zongshen remained in the tent.
Cao Zongshen said worriedly: "Young master, you said that the Liao army is so powerful, it is better to let him quit." Wouldn't it be better for us to watch the Liao army fight with the Jin State? ”
"Zong Shen, your idea is very good! Fish and mussels compete, and fishermen profit. Everyone wants to be a fisherman, and Jin Ren is not stupid. Zong Shu said.
Niu Gao also made a judgment: "It is impossible to let the minister of the economy and the minister strike the army, just like an arrow on the string, it has to be sent." If we withdraw now, we will never have the face to mention the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the future. Even if it's death, you have to hold on. ”
A confrontation has already formed on the battlefield, and it is probably really unrealistic to persuade the division to withdraw troops at this time.
Actually, Zong Shu just wanted to persuade him like this just now.
If the Seed Master Dao withdraws his troops, Tong Zhizhi will finish the game, and the Song army in Heshuo will be even more miserable.
Zong Shu didn't consider the whole battle situation at all, and had to admit that a famous general is a famous general, and Niu Gao considered it more comprehensively.
After waiting for an hour, Wu Jue finally opened the tent and entered.
Following Wu Jue, Zong Shu, Niu Gao and Cao Zongshen entered the largest camp in the middle.
"Sit down."
Zong Shu, Niu Gao, and Cao Zongshen had just finished hugging their fists, and before they had time to introduce themselves, the seed master Dao came first.
Zong Shu had no choice but to swallow back the words that had come to his throat and sit down.
Seed Master Dao sat behind the desk, holding a book in his hand, and he was fascinated.
Zong Shu observed and found that the Seed Master Dao did not pay attention when he read the book, and there was a wave of anger hidden in his heart.
The seed master was criticized by Tong Guan.
Seed Master Dao has always advocated uniting the Liao State to deal with the rapidly rising Jin people, which is consistent with the views of Zong Ze, Li Gang and others.
Until the army formation was placed on the Baigou River and across the river from the Liao people, the master still did not forget to persuade Tong Guan and sent envoys, and the two armies united to deal with the Jin State.
At that time, the planter said, "Today's things, such as stealing into the neighbor's house, cannot be saved. and multiplied by it, and divided its chambers. And the teacher is unknown, the matter is solid, and it should be lost at the beginning. ”
Of course, this point of view was violently criticized by Tong Guan, and finally named and said, you are just hand-picked by the emperor, and you can use the name of your master to suppress all kinds of soldiers and horses, you just have to obey.
"After a little justice, I want you to be famous for a lifetime, but I don't want to be ridiculed today. Pathetic, lamentable. ”
Zong Shu's eyes on the Dao of the Seed Master did not take away from the book, and he broke the deadlock.
Seed Master Dao heard Wu Jue say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had sent someone to talk to him about confidential matters in person.
As soon as he heard this, the seed master Dao was a little upset. In order to go north to attack Liao, the crown prince and other princes had a lot of trouble, and everyone wanted to come and get a piece of the pie.
The crown prince did not get any benefits, and King Kang Zhao Gou got it. So the prince was not reconciled, and sent someone to find him.
After defeating the Liao State, the crown prince can say that it was the people he sent who found the seed army and gave advice, which led to the victory.
The prince sent someone to talk about some military secrets, obviously he came to pick peaches in advance.
The reason why the master persuaded Tong Guan to unite with the Liao State was not because he was afraid of how strong the Liao State's military strength was, he thought that the current Liao army was weak, but he could not take advantage of the danger of others.
The most important thing is that the seed master Dao thought of Wei Shu and Wu, and united with the Liao State to check and balance the Jin people, which was the most appropriate strategy.
Once the Liao State crossed, the Great Song Dynasty had to face the iron hooves of the Jin State alone.
I was just criticized by Tong Guan, and I was ridiculed by the generals of the Song Army in Heshuo, and I was naturally unhappy when I saw someone picking peaches.
Look at it again, the person sent by the East Palace, the leader is a young man who is not as weak as the crown, you pick peaches, you have to send a decent one, right?
However, the face of the East Palace could not be left unavailable, so the planter decided to dry them out.
The words that Zong Shu said just now shocked the heart of the Seed Master Dao.
He was ridiculed by the generals in Xiongzhou City, he didn't even tell his entourage, let alone Wu Jue, how did this person know?
The Seed Master Dao does not believe that there are clairvoyants and ears in this world at all.
Seed Master Dao put down the book and stared at Zong Shu.
Only then did Zong Shu stand up and say, "The experience is slightly fair. It is really unwise to start a war with the Liao army. Now we are not retreating, we are not attacking, this is the best strategy. ”
When the planter heard this, this person's words actually coincided with his philosophy. But what does he mean by "no retreat, no attack"?
"The Liao army definitely doesn't want to be consumed with our army, and they also want to unite with our army now. At this time, it is the best time to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”
What Zong Shu said, the seed master Dao felt very reasonable.
The Jin army promised that once the Liao people were defeated, the sixteen states of Yanyun would be returned to the Great Song Dynasty.
But the key is that the sixteen states of Yanyun are still in the hands of the Liao.
Taking advantage of the current opportunity, I negotiated terms with the Liao people and wanted to return to the sixteen states of Yanyun, which is probably more reliable than the promise of the Jin people.
The strategy of "not retreating and not attacking" proposed by Zong Shu not only took care of the dignity of the Song Dynasty and the face of the master, but also possibly achieved greater strategic goals.
The body of the seed master leaned forward, this strategy, you can try it.
