Chapter 682: Zhao Zhen's Yang Scheme

The repeated wars have exhausted the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, this exhaustion is not physical but mental, what others have not noticed Zhao Zhen is very sensitive, he has participated in the war, and he has also fought in front of the battle, from the beginning of the unbearable, to the blood surging, to the insensitive, and finally to the point of disgusting.

This is a kind of indifference to life, a normal person can not accept a long time of killing, Zhao Zhen believes that the army in his hands is a soldier who defends the country, not a pervert who kills without blinking, these conscripts recruited from the peasant family are the children of the Great Song Dynasty, they have to return to ordinary life, and they are not only left with anger on the battlefield, but also have honor and faith, otherwise it is likely to make the psychology of these soldiers change a lot.

Since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, these soldiers have faced killing, death, and even fear, and now they have overcome most of the obstacles to become good soldiers, but the repeated battles are basically about to destroy them, Datong Mansion is the last battle of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is necessary to let the soldiers rest well and prepare to return to Beijing to receive rewards and glory.

Now Zhang Jian gave the Great Song Dynasty a "luxury gift package" Datong Mansion can surrender without a fight, this is simply a "timely rain", Zhao Zhen has already gotten along with everything between the lightning and flint, since the Liao people have civil strife again, then of course they should support the true heir of Yelu Zong, the reason is very simple, the Great Song Dynasty is based on the orthodoxy of the Han family, and it is also the state of etiquette in the Celestial Empire.

The importance of supporting orthodoxy is self-evident, and Zhao Zhen also has another plan, since it is the emperor's younger brother Yelu Chongyuan's civil strife, the Liao people will use the Tao to hand over to Datong Mansion in the past, but if they don't borrow the Tao and trap the 100,000 Liao troops in Datong Mansion, it is likely to let Yelu Chongyuan take power.

Compared with the orphaned and widowed Liao Dynasty, Yelu Chongyuan is more difficult to deal with, since the Liao people want to go to Zhongjing Road through Fengshengzhou, then Datong Mansion they will never be able to stay, so they use it as a bargaining chip to exchange with the Great Song Dynasty.

Civil war is the most consuming thing for a country, and the struggle between the two regimes often leads to the shedding of blood and sacrifice of innocent people, and the most hurt is the entire country. Especially the nomadic people of the Liao Dynasty, once there is civil strife, it will be more difficult to recover, how much damage the demon queen Xiao Yunjin's dictatorship and chaos brought to the Liao Dynasty, and even changed the national policy left by the Liao Shengzong beyond recognition, which made Yelu Zong really recuperate for several years and did not recover, in this case, Zhao Zhen naturally wanted to add firewood to this fire and make it burn more vigorously.

Zhao Zhen didn't think that Yelu Chongyuan, who had no strength, dared to usurp the throne in front of the orphans and widows of the Liao Dynasty, obviously this was a duel and contest of strength, and the Liao Dynasty, which had begun to decline, would definitely be dealt a fatal blow again, if Xiao Yunjin's chaotic government was the turning point of the Liao Dynasty, then Yelu Chongyuan's rebellion was the death knell of the Liao Dynasty.

Zhang Jian was very smart to put all the chips in front of Zhao Zhen openly, Zhao Zhen would naturally choose directly, after all, compared with the battle for the throne, the "enclave" of Datong Mansion is irrelevant, Zhao Zhen grasped this point and readily agreed to Zhang Jian's invitation.

The army of the Liao Dynasty could only pass through the grassland of Fengshengzhou, and it was still under the supervision of the Great Song army, so it saved a lot of trouble, and Zhang Jian also readily agreed, in his opinion, this is nothing, after all, the Great Song Emperor reached out to help the heir of the Liao Dynasty when he was in danger, which can be regarded as a respect for His Majesty......

That's right, in fact, Zhao Zhen still has respect for Yelu Zongzhen, an emperor can protect his territory in person, which is much better than commanding in the national capital, at least he is a person who dares to assume the responsibility of the emperor.

There was a strange silence in the hall, Zhang Jian and Xia Zhu were both thinking about Zhao Zhen's intentions, Zhang Jian thought that the Great Song Emperor was sincere, and Xia Zhu was guessing what kind of tricks the official family was going to use in it...... Compared with Zhang Jian, Xia Zhu knew his emperor better.

Zhang Jian retired, and when he left, his steps were obviously brisk, and this time he met the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and successfully borrowed the way for the Great Liao, and also avoided the frontal battle between the main forces of the Song and Liao armies, and preserved the strength of the Great Liao, otherwise the 100,000 elites would not know how many would be able to return to Zhongjing Road.

Not only does the succession of the emperor's eldest son need these 100,000 elites, but Da Liao needs them even more to maintain the majesty of the past. Without a good soldier who can fight well, Da Liao does not have its current status at all, it can be said that Da Liao is a sword and a sword to fight out, Zhang Jian believes that as long as time passes, Da Liao will rise.

Zhang Jian was a little incomprehensible to Zhao Zhen's behavior, but he knew that the official family must have a plan and would not easily let the 100,000 troops of the Liao Dynasty arrive in Zhongjing Road through Fengshengzhou, but when he turned his head to ask Zhao Zhen, who had already stepped down from the throne, he got a surprising answer.

"Official, is it so easy to let the Liao people return to the dynasty? The Liao Dynasty has been knocking on the border for a long time, and I thought it was a disaster for my Great Song Dynasty, but now the 100,000 troops have all returned to the Dynasty, and I am afraid that they will let the tiger return to the mountain. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at the lighting of the caisson and shook his head slightly: "Letting them go back is the result of my repeated thoughts, and you will understand the truth after a while, how can an emperor who has no military power in his hands fight against rebellion?" ”

Xia Zhu suddenly realized that the official family supported the eldest son of the Liao Dynasty emperor on the surface, but in fact, it was to use these 100,000 elites to plunge the Liao Dynasty into a war of civil strife, and the two sides were evenly matched, and the flames of civil strife must be burning on the land of the Liao Dynasty......

Zhao Zhen stood in the center of the main hall, squinting at the light reflected by the huge mercury mirror, sneezed fiercely, and suddenly felt that the pores on his body were dilated, rubbed his nose and said: "Don't get this kind of thing in the palace in Tokyo City, it's too dazzling." ”

Xia Zhu nodded inexplicably, this mirror is really ingenious, the outside is transparent glass, and the mercury is poured into the mezzanine, and finally sealed with gum, a mercury mirror is delicate, I heard that some people have begun to use silver as a mirror, so although the cost is very high, but it is not as toxic as mercury, it is very safe.

Zhao Zhen walked out, left the hall and stood at the door, the entire Xijin Mansion had an unobstructed view, this is the highest place in the Xijin Mansion, the Han and Tang Dynasty style layout lifted the hall high on the top, if the capital was moved here in the future, the momentum of the officials alone would be magnificent.
