Chapter 926: A Turning Point (3)
"Outside Chang'an City, the white clouds are autumn, and Xiao Suo is sad and sad. Because he wanted the Han Dynasty to leave the chaotic day, Zhong Xuan ...... to Jingzhou from then on"
The old stage faces the rolling river, and the singer on the stage is an old man with a strong voice but also slightly hoarse, and the song is accompanied by the sonorous drums.
A round table had already been set up in front of the stage, and in a short time several people in armor or in fine costumes entered, some of whom knew each other and greeted each other at the sound of poetry, while others simply sat quietly and watched the rest. There were nine people coming, and half of them seemed a little dusty.
The drums on the stage stopped for a moment, and then sounded again, and the old singer sang: "Da Xian Mountain looks back at Qinguan, and goes south to Jingzhou for a few days." Today, there are only tears, and I don't know where the scenery isββ"
The old man's singing voice was very infectious, and one of the people sitting down sighed: "There are only tears on the road today, and I don't know where the scenery is ......."
A scribe in a robe next to him smiled: "Da Xian Mountain looks back at Qinguan, and it will be a few days south to Jingzhou...... Sikong Shu wrote about the Da Xian Pavilion, away from here, but for a few days...... "He slapped his palm on the table," he sang wrong. β
As he spoke, a man in military uniform came up on the steps beside him. As soon as this tenth person appeared, the previous nine people all rose up one after another: "Lord Liu." β
"General Liu."
"Uncle Ping."
The tenth man smiled and said, "Time is in a hurry, so I'm slacking you." The words are majestic and steady, this person is Liu Guangshi, who held heavy troops and occupied Baling, Jiangling and other places after the turmoil of the Wu Dynasty.
The scholar who said that he sang the wrong thing said: "Uncle Liu, this one on the stage, what he sings has a deep meaning." You did it on purpose. β
"It's not a secret, this old man's singing is different from the previous martial arts atmosphere, tragic and generous, which is Liu's favorite, so I asked him to sing a few songs for me in the army. Today's meeting, firstly, to keep it a secret, and secondly, it was really a bit hasty, so he was called out to help sing a song or two. Ping Baoxian's nephew's preferences, I know, if you don't leave today, in Jiangling City, there are two amazing singers in the art industry recently, Chen Fu and Yan Jiuer...... After the business, Uncle Shi will arrange it for you. He smiled majestically and kindly, "Sit down." β
Everyone sat down, Liu Guangshi waved his hand to send the old singer away, and a maid came up to make tea, and after the maid went down, he looked around before he smiled and spoke.
"The world is changing rapidly, today's meeting, the things to talk about are not simple, some of you came on behalf of the lord's family, some came in person, and the identities are sensitive, so I will not introduce them one by one here. Anyway, for the time being, I know, how? β
At the moment, it was obviously a secret meeting, Liu Guangshi thought about it thoroughly, but when his words fell, a man wearing half armor on the opposite side shook his head: "It's okay, there is Lord Liu's checks and selection, and the people who came here today are all Han people, and the family is big, I can trust everyone present." The contemptible Xia is faithful, and he is not afraid of being known by you, as for whether you say it or not, it doesn't matter. β
"I have long admired the prestige of General Xia." The young scholar from earlier arched his hand.
Na Xia Zhongxin said: "Repeated defeats, repeated defeats, no prestige at all, just lingering." β
The young scholar stood up with a smile: "Under Xiao Pingbao, my father Xiao Zheng, please say hello to all your uncles and elders." β
Liu Guangshi looked at these things with a smile, and after a while, the rest of the people also expressed their positions, got up and made a statement, and the names in each person's words now represent a force in the south of the Yangtze River, similar to Xia Zhongxin, who has already voted for the Jurchens and is now under the control of Yan Xiyin, and the Xiao family behind Xiao Pingbao is a family near Hanyang.
This kind of gathering, although it is held on Liu Guangshi's territory, is equivalent to a gathering of righteousness, if only Liu Guangshi clearly knows the identity of everyone, then he will become the real leader of the alliance. Everyone also understood this truth, so Xia Zhongxin simply showed his side, and Xiao Pingbao followed and broke this asymmetrical state slightly.
Liu Guangshi doesn't mind, although he is a military general, he has been mixed up in the civilian officialdom all his life, and where is there no such scene. He was no longer stuck to this level.
He waited until everyone had been introduced and there were no more greetings, and then he smiled and said: "Your appearance here is actually a statement, and now that you have all met, Liu will no longer beat around the bush." The situation in the southwest is well known to all of you. β
Everyone looked at each other with serious eyes and nodded. Someone said: "Coupled with the situation of the Battle of Tanzhou, now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope." β
"I never thought that after Yan Zonghan I's fame, he would stumble and suffer such a big loss."
"That can't be said, the defeat of the Jurchens is a good thing after all."
"But what about Black Flag?"
Everyone said a few words, and Liu Guangshi raised his hand: "What you said makes sense, in fact, the defeat of the Jurchens is not bad, but Black Flag won both battles, and this situation is a little unexpected after all." Don't hide it from you, in the past ten days, Liu has seen a lot of people, and Ning Yi's shot is terrifying. β
When he said this, he took a sip of tea, and everyone did not speak, and they could understand the shock in their hearts for these days. The southwest fought fiercely for four months, Wanyan Zonghan was still struggling to advance, but as Ning Yi led 7,000 people to attack, the Jurchens' 100,000 army collapsed directly on the front, and then the entire army was pushed back in the southwest mountains, and Ning Yi's army still bit up, and now in the mountains of the southwest, it is like two giant pythons entangled, and the fight is bloody, and the originally weak one is actually going to bite the Jurchen West Route Army, which is several times its own strength, to bite to death in the vast mountains in the Jianmen Pass.
In the eyes of everyone, such a move is even more shocking than his anger and murder of the monarch back then. More than ten years have passed, and the devil has become so powerful that he will kill whoever he says will kill him when he looks at the world, and even Wanyan Zonghan, a military general who was almost recognized as the number one in the world before, is now slapped by him fiercely, and he is even going to be beaten to death.
Now the southwest mountains have not yet decided the winner or loser, but there are already countless people planning for the future in private.
After all, things became too fast, and there was no plan before, so this round of activities seemed to be in a hurry.
"Tell me about the situation over there." Xia Zhongxin opened his mouth and said, "On the tenth day of the first month of March, there was a change on Qin's side, and the Jurchen Wanyan Xiyin was also very powerful, and he had already dispatched troops early to guard against that end. But as a result, everyone knows, Lao Yu was unlucky, and 20,000 people under his command were attacked by Qin Lao Er, and all the dead and wounded were killed. Next, Wanyan Xiyin transferred troops almost once every three days, this is a game of chess, so I don't know who will be unlucky next time. We all said that they might attack the Sword Pavilion next, and they would be blocked at both ends, and Sticky Han would really never go back. β
"Last year...... I heard that there were seventeen battles in a row. General Qin's side was not injured. Someone answered, "Is the combat power of the Huaxia Army really so strong?" β
"It was seven days, seventeen games in a row." Xia Zhongxin's face was expressionless, "What a powerful method, I can't say for sure, and if I encounter it, I will be defeated." Wanyan Xiyin is powerful, and he doesn't treat us Han people as people, what he holds under him is the strongest Jurchen Tu Shanwei, and he doesn't dare to rush up directly, he only plans to consume it slowly. Speaking of which, in fact, Qin Laoshou's subordinates were the people who were in Xiaocanghe at the beginning, if you think about it, in three years, they survived the 1 million troops in the Central Plains, and killed the 20,000 people who were not lost, and the Jurchens were finally polished. People stayed up for a few years in the west where the birds didn't lay eggs before they came out, and this is not a human being, this is a begging ghost. β
He paused: "Don't hide it from you, everyone who is on the front line now is afraid." The southwest won, Lao Qin came with the idea of despair, the sea of blood is deep, once the chess is finished, the picture will be poor. In the middle of the Black Flag and Tu Shanwei, whoever touches it will die. β
Xiao Pingbao on the side twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Forgive my little nephew for being blunt, why don't you cast the black flag." β
There was a meaning in his words to ask knowingly, but everyone sat together, and there were steps to unify the meaning in the words, so he was not annoyed, but said expressionlessly: "How did the southwest accept Li Rulai, now everyone knows, vote for Jurchen, you have to be sent to fight Lao Qin, you have to vote for Lao Qin, you have to be sent to fight Tu Shanwei, it is a dead word." β
He paused: "Actually, death is not something that everyone is afraid of, but the words of those old boys in the capital are not unreasonable." Since ancient times, to surrender, first, you have to have chips, you have to be valued, and you can have a position when you surrender, and now surrendering the black flag is just a matter of surviving and living for a few years, who knows what it will be like, and secondly, ...... General Liu has a better idea here, and it is not a good way. The eldest husband can't be without power in the world for a day, if there is still a way to go, Xia doesn't want to be a firehead army if he doesn't want to enter the black flag. β
In such words, everyone naturally turned their attention to Liu Guangshi, and Liu Guangshi laughed: "General Xia is arrogant, the current situation of the Wu Dynasty, many times, is not a crime of war. For more than 200 years, the dynasty has emphasized literature and light military force, and it is difficult to return to the heavy accumulation, and it is helpless to have today's dilemma. In fact, General Xia is so brave on the battlefield, and he is amazing in using troops, Liu is admired, but to put it bluntly, General Xia was born in cloth and has commanded the army for many years. To tell the truth, Liu can have a few combatable soldiers left in his hands, but his ancestors are only in the shadows. β
Liu Guangshi's words were regarded as speaking of Xia Zhong's confidence, and the middle-aged man with a cold face arched his hand, unable to speak. I only heard Liu Guangshi say again: "After all, the situation is different now, to be honest, there is no possibility of success for a few clowns in Lin'an City." There is a saying in Guangshi that if everything goes smoothly, within five years, the army will be sent to Fuzhou today, and Lin'an will be recovered. β
When he said this, he arched his hand, and everyone looked at each other, obviously understanding the hidden meaning of Liu Guangshi's words. Liu Guangshi stood up and pushed up a version of the map: "Actually, Guangshi invited you to come over this time, just to push the situation forward with you, please take a look." β
His finger clicked on the map: "The world has changed, and the situation today is completely different from half a year ago, but speaking of which, there are only two unexpected points, Chen Fan occupies Tanzhou, Ning Yi stabilizes the southwest, and what about the Jurchen army...... The best situation is to flee all the way back to the north along Jingxiang and other places, and next, the Huaxia army has actually lost some vitality, of course, they will recover their strength in a few years, and then the two sides will be connected, to tell the truth, the territory that Liu now occupies is exactly at the angle between the two sides of the Huaxia army. β
When Liu Guangshi said this, he just smiled: "It is not impossible to defeat the Jurchens, the reputation of the Huaxia Army will be greatly enhanced, and it will sweep the world in the future, but ah, first, General Xia is right, if you want to surrender and become a firehead soldier in the past, people may not accept it." Second, the Huaxia Army is strict in governance, which is indeed there, once it wins a big victory, the internal or too much, Liu also feels that it is inevitable that there will be some problems, of course, about this matter, we will wait and see for the time being. β
"Anyway, in a few years, we have it." Liu Guangshi stretched out his hand to draw a circle between Tanzhou and the southwest, "But it is only a few years away, this place, sooner or later, there will be friction with the black flag, where we go, we have to think about it." β
"Regarding the response to this situation, Liu has a few considerations." Liu Guangshi smiled, "First, there is always nothing wrong with strengthening yourself, whether you want to fight or peace, you have to have the strength to do it, everyone here today, neither side may be able to wrestle with forces like Black Flag and Jurchen, but if you join forces, taking advantage of the fact that the vitality of the Huaxia Army has been injured, there are some advantages in this part of the place for the time being, and secondly, we will go to the civil officials to hinder us, we will learn from the pain, and there may not be no opportunity for development." β
"But it's just joining forces, it's not strong enough, in fact, to put it bluntly, even if you repeat the old view of the Wu Dynasty, between the Jin State and the Black Flag, the Wu Dynasty is also the weakest party, but there is no qualification to win, and there will always be the qualification to talk. Everyone, look at the situation, the black flag wants to recover its vitality, stabilize the situation, press still, the Jin army retreats north, and now faces Lin'an in the east, you see, how many places are vacant. β
Liu Guangshi's palm slapped on the map, and the essence in his eyes appeared: "Everyone, Central Plains!" As long as the battle in the southwest stops and the Jurchens go north, let's join forces, and then break the Yangtze River and take the Central Plains, attack Bianliang back, and repeat the old view of our Wu Dynasty, everyone, this is an immortal achievement! To my Wu Dynasty, to my Han people, to my Huaxiaβ"
His voice fell, and someone at the table stood up, and slapped the folding fan on the palm of his hand: "Indeed, if the Jurchens are defeated and leave, the control of the Central Plains will fall to the lowest point, and there will be no influence anymore." And on the Lin'an side, a group of clowns who jumped off the beam couldn't take care of the Central Plains for a while. β
Another humanitarian: "Zong Han was beaten to the ground in the southwest, no matter whether he can withdraw or not, the defenders of Bianliang will definitely no longer be the Jurchen army." If there are a few people on the scene, we may be able to easily restore the old capital without much effort. β
Liu Guangshi smiled: "Besides, if the name is not right, it is not good, last year our Wu Dynasty was defeated and defeated, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others went to the east, but even the first emperor failed to hold it, these things, Liu Mou can't blame them." Later, the Jurchens were powerful, and some people - traitors! They really surrendered, and there are many people who are still loyal, like General Xia, although they have to be with the Jurchens, but they have always been loyal to our Wu Dynasty in their hearts, waiting for the opportunity anyway, everyone, Liu is also waiting for this opportunity to come. We will accept the emperor's order in the will of heaven, keep the fire for our Wu Dynasty, restore the old view of the Central Plains, and no matter who we are facing in the future, we can explain it. β
As he said these words, he took out his charcoal pen and circled one place after another on the map, which included a large area of territory such as Bianliang and other places, as if it was one of the largest forces in the whole world, and someone slapped his fist on the palm of his hand.
Liu Guangshi stopped smiling, and knocked the charcoal on it with a serious gaze.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in this place, in a few years, anything can happen, if we learn from the pain, determined to innovate, and learn from the southwest, then what will happen? If in a few years, the situation changes, and something really goes wrong in the southwest, what will happen? And even if it is really as people say, the fortunes of our Wu Dynasty are unfortunately declining after all, everyone, we are waiting to protect the people on one side, it is also a great merit, worthy of the world, and worthy of China. β
The river breeze was blowing, Liu Guangshi's words were loud, and everyone stood there, solemn and silent for a moment for this picture, before anyone spoke.
"The southwest defeated the Jurchens, and their vitality has been injured, and they will inevitably be unable to do the Northern Expedition again. Tens of millions of Li people in the Central Plains have suffered for more than ten years, and if we have this opportunity, if we sit back and watch again, how innocent will the common people be. Ladies and gentlemen, General Liu is right, in fact, regardless of those plans and interests, the people of the Central Plains today also need everyone to abandon their past suspicions and save them from fire and water, and they can't delay any longer. Today's matter, General Liu took the lead, in fact, at present, in the entire Han world, only General Liu is highly respected and can serve as the leader of the alliance in this matter. From now on, my Jiangdong Chen family will listen to General Liu's deployment! Dispatch! β
In the scenery of the great river, there are many meat eaters who have made difficult choices for the future of this country.
The head of the city changes the king's flag. How many people will remember them?
This was the end of March, Zong Han had not yet walked out of the Sword Pavilion, and Qin Shaoqian and Wanyan Xiyin were constantly transferring troops to confront each other north of the Sword Pavilion. On March 27, Qi Xinhan, a general under Qin Shaoqian, led 3,000 men to appear near Fancheng, nearly 1,000 miles away, in an attempt to storm the Xiangfan Ferry. And Wanyan Xiyin was prepared.
The elite of the Seventh Army of the Chinese Army, the first round of fighting with the Jurchen Tu Shanwei began.
