Chapter 114 Reminiscing about the past, the eventful years are thick
Looking at the debris that fell into the water, Zhao Zhen understood the anger in Peng Qi's heart at this moment, the good situation was abandoned like this, and the timid official family even did not hesitate to buy peace with millions of coins. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Cao Yi, who finally sent the Liao camp, was threatened by Ding Wei and tried his best to compress the annual coin to 300,000 yuan, this could not erase the fact that peace was bought!
The blood in Zhao Zhen's body rushed straight to his mind with the help of his fast-beating heart, and the friction between his teeth made Peng Qi get goosebumps, and he could feel the anger of a volcanic eruption.
"Your Highness can't accept this? What's even more shameful is still to come, the weakness of the official family is well known! Can the door be opened? They are the ones who are responsible for this scandal! Although the rescue was meritorious, it was impossible to touch their sinister intentions, and even the literati could see the good situation at that time, as long as they surrounded and annihilated the elite of the Liao people, the land of smoke and clouds would be like a bag to get something! ”
Zhao Zhen looked back suddenly: "Why didn't the official family take it?!" I don't believe that my father will be cowardly! ”
"Cowardice? Maybe he was a little cowardly before the official family came to Lanyuan in person, but when Gao Qiong whipped and drove the warriors to carry the official family to the north city of Lanzhou, the official family changed, and the sound of the mountain and tsunami shattered the sky, and the soldiers and civilians all shouted angrily Liao thieves: The official family of the Great Song Dynasty is in person, and you don't want to wait?! The grandeur of the scene at that time was rare in ancient and modern times! ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't imagine that his father, who was lying on the sickbed and was still breathing, actually had such a glorious moment, perhaps it was the shouts of the front-line soldiers that aroused his father's heroic pride.
"Your Highness didn't see it, the official family at that time was wearing dragon armor and standing on top of the northern city of Lanzhou, and the scarlet cloak was thrown by him and said: The soldiers use their lives, how can I be alone? For a time, the pride of the official family is incomparable! ”
Peng Qi said to Zhao Zhen excitedly, and Zhao Zhen felt the courage of his father at that time from between the lines, but why did the meeting later?
Looking at the prince's puzzled gaze, Peng Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness's doubts should also be, there is a saying in the gate, Taizu Zeng Yun: The one who takes back Yanyun will be crowned king forever!" If the official family subdues the smoke cloud in one fell swoop, what will happen to the general? ”
"What?! Vertical son dares! Zhao Zhen went away in an instant, these generals actually did not hesitate to use this method in order to seal the king? Peng Qi's words subverted Zhao Zhen's understanding of Jiangmen.
"What would you not dare? Every battle in the Great Song Dynasty is inseparable from Jiangmen, and they seem to have no rights at all, but they have a pivotal position in the Great Song Dynasty, after all, they still rely on them in military affairs, and Wenchen must also use Jiangmen to command the troops, which is an indisputable fact! ”
"Could it be that the official family was persuaded by the three words of the general?" Zhao Zhen asked strangely.
"What's more, it's just a few words, the general's account of the official family is very powerful, although the Liao people are like mourning and approval, there are still tens of thousands of people and they are all cavalry, the Great Song Dynasty has many foot soldiers and few cavalry, if you want to encircle and annihilate, it will inevitably disperse, and then the Liao people will be forced to fight a fish and die in the net, maybe they will come straight to the official family, if so, what should the official family do?"
Zhao Zhen listened to Peng Qi's words and smiled slightly bitterly, these generals are really the right medicine, and the father finally regained his spirit is inspired by hundreds of thousands of troops, and when he heard that there were not so many people around him, he would definitely retreat.
"My father retreated because of the persuasion of Jiangmen?"
"Almost the same, there are many lords and ministers among the ministers, and in the end, even Kou Xianggong is unwilling to insist, and the three divisions of the court have already sent him an urgent document, and the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty can't hold on to this protracted war."
"Why is that?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince's hundreds of thousands of soldiers eat horses and chew their daily consumption is amazing, if it weren't for the official family to do their best to recruit the three divisions, I am afraid that they would have run out of food and grass long ago, the Liao people came prepared, but my Great Song Dynasty was in a hurry to meet the enemy."
After listening to Peng Qi's explanation, Zhao Zhen's old face flushed, how could he forget such an important matter, the most important thing in ancient warfare was the supply of the rear, and the so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first.
"Your Royal Highness has not experienced the war and is not so thoughtful, but although the Great Song Dynasty at that time could not afford to fight, it could also recover the land of smoke and clouds, if it can delay the Liao army for ten days, the grain and grass from all over the country will be sent to the battlefield of the northern front, and the recovery of smoke and clouds is just around the corner! Can the official family ...... Alas! ”
Looking at the depressed Peng Qi, Zhao Zhen sighed: "Lone knows, Jiangmen wants to use their own hands to take back the land of Yanyun and obtain the title of king with supreme merit, Lone will not follow their wishes!" ”
Peng Qi saw that the prince understood what he meant, and nodded: "Does Your Highness think that the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty is really vulnerable to a battle?" He could see that the prince had developed the Ordnance Bureau in a big way in order to defeat his opponent with powerful ordnance.
Seeing that Zhao Zhen was speechless, Peng Qi shook his head and said: "The forbidden army is not unbearable, but because of the failure of the two Northern Expeditions, the alliance of Tanyuan, which frightened the Great Song Wenwu, to be honest, I am like this myself, although there are millions of troops, I feel very uneasy, until the prince Sanwei is trained like this by you!" ”
With a long sigh, Peng Qi looked at Zhao Zhen with a long sigh: "Your Highness, the prince Sanwei you trained is simply not like the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, if the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty explained that it was like the land of Yanyun, I am afraid that it would have been taken back long ago."
When Taizu Yongxi's Northern Expedition had a chance of winning, he could also recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, but it happened that the door was mistaken, Taizong had repeatedly instructed Cao Bin to hold on to the slow line and not to be greedy, but he only took a few days to seize Zhuozhou, but the grain road behind was cut off by the Liao, and all the grain and grass in the city were consumed in ten days, and he had to retreat to Xiongzhou, Taizong urgently ordered him to stay behind for backup, but it was too late Cao Bin had led his troops back to Xiongzhou to replenish the grain grassland road back, but the Liao reinforcements had arrived to recover Zhuozhou......"
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "How can a veteran soldier be an opponent if he is tired!" Cao Bin was originally a good general, why is he so dim...... Because of Taizu's words? Only then did he reflect that these methods of guarding the door were really terrifying!
"The wind is blowing through the mountains and rivers, and the flowers are scattered into mud and always blooming undefeated...... melodious silk and bamboo sound with the beautiful and graceful female voice echoing throughout Jinmingchi, instantly bringing people into the dreamlike beauty.
The beautiful singing voice interrupted the conversation between Peng Qi and Zhao Zhen, "Su family is singing His Highness's tune?" ”
Facing Peng Qi's ridicule, Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "You have been watching from the side, you know and ask!" ”
The competition for the Oiran has reached the point where it is in full swing, several flower boats crowded to perform in front of the stage, and the musicians on the boat worked hard to cooperate with their own Qing people to perform, to be honest, Su Xiaoqing's song "Wind Flowers and Snow Moon" won the first place not because other people's songs were not good, but Zhao Zhen's songs were very penetrating and infectious, which made the onlookers and the literati in the pavilion flock to it.
After reaching a consensus with the little fat man, Jiangmen also appeared at the fence outside and cheered loudly, and more than a dozen Xiao Si shuttled back and forth in the pavilion, and whenever someone gave a tip, he said the name and amount of the rewarder loudly, of course, these will be counted on the head of the Qingqi people on the flower boat, and in the end, whoever rewarded the most was tonight's Oiran.
