Chapter 107: The Controversy (The Third Watch Has Been Completed, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Pu, who didn't understand the "national war" and only knew how to play conspiracy, and said lightly: "Wei Qing and Huo Quai's northern attack on the Huns made the Tartars frightened, what did they rely on?" The elite of the Tang Dynasty wiped out the Turks in a few years, what did they rely on? ”
"In the Battle of Gaoping, the Zhou army defeated the Northern Han and the Khitans, although there were small gains, because there was no cavalry force to pursue quickly, after all, the Khitans slipped away." Li Zhongyi deliberately poked Zhao Pu's lungs and trachea, just to hint at Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu is very good at conspiracing, talking about strategy, he Li Zhongyi is the real bull.
Zhao Pu's face was red, and he was speechless when asked by Li Zhongyi. In the battle of Gaoping, Zhao Kuangyin obviously won, but he could only watch the Khitans fight and gallop, and he couldn't chase and kill in time to expand the results.
Facts speak louder than words, and Li Zhongyi also got to the point, and did not embarrass Zhao Pu too much. After all, Zhao Lao Er is still only a senior military leader and has no real decision-making power.
"Sir, the Dingyan Army where the party members live is separated from the Guanlong area of our Great Zhou by hundreds of miles of Hanhai (desert)." Zhao Kuangyin is a famous general, familiar with military books and war strategies, and is naturally more than 100 times stronger than Zhao Pu, a military layman.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said: "In summer, when the water power is abundant, the main force goes out from Cizhou (now Ji County) and marches along the Wuding River6 to attract the Dangxiang and the Northern Han people to send troops. The partial division attacked from Lingzhou (Yinzhou) and attacked the Xiazhou nest of the party members, and he would definitely be able to fight a battle. ”
Unlike the Northern Song Dynasty in later generations, today's party members are far less powerful than those in Western Xia. The whole army of Dingyan. The territory occupied is only Xia, You, Sui, and Yin, these four states. The total population is only more than 100,000, and the ethnic composition among the various tribes is also extremely complex.
Zhao Kuangyin is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and he immediately realized that according to the strategy mentioned by Li Zhongyi, the main army has the water to transport grain and grass, which not only solves the problem of logistics. It also puts the army in an excellent strategic position that can be attacked and retreated.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the shape is not good. The main army can also be completely taken by boat, and it can withdraw more than 100 miles overnight.
"However, Tongwancheng (Xiazhou) is unusually strong, and it is only a division. How to succeed in a sneak attack? Zhao Kuangyin asked the point again.
Li Zhongyi took a sip of wine. said with a smile: "This plan is too difficult, and I still have some things that I haven't thought about." "But it was deliberately sold.
The famous Yanchang Oilfield in later generations, its main oil-producing area, is near Yanzhou (Yan'an). At that time, Li Zhongyi only needs to gather thousands of people, dig for ten days and a half months, and he can always see a very small amount of crude oil.
These things, known as fierce fire oil, were sealed in a clay pot. Then use a simple stone thrower, and follow the strategy of leaving three and one at night. Thrown into Xiazhou.
Hehe, by that time, the barbarians of the party will definitely be dumplings if they run away from one door alone.
If the party barbarians insist on not going out of the city, I am afraid they will be burned to the ground.
Under Zhao Kuangyin's repeated questioning, Li Zhongyi brought out the poisonous plan to burn Tongwancheng.
Although Zhao Lao Er has experienced a hundred battles, he can't help but gasp, Li Zhongyi is what kind of conquest battle is this, but to destroy the roots of the party.
"It's effective, but it's too vicious, isn't it?" Zhao Pu did not refute it explicitly, but the meaning of his words was questioning Li Zhongyi's lack of benevolence.
Li Zhongyi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said lightly: "If it's not my race, its heart will be different." When there is no interruption, there will be great trouble. ”
Historically, the Northern Song Dynasty scholars and doctors excessively used literature to control military force, and actually let civilian officials who did not understand military affairs lead troops to fight.
It is by taking advantage of this that the party members have gradually grown stronger. After Li Yuanhao became emperor, he defeated the Song army three times, which made the Western Xia Kingdom in the land of Dan pills become a problem for the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, the famous troops in the famous "Western Army" were: Fuzhou Zhejia Army, Linzhou Yang Family General, Qingjian City Seed Family Army and other generals who needed to be generals.
The generals of the Western Army are generally passed down from generation to generation, and compared with the ordinary forbidden army of the Song Dynasty that "the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals", the combat power is much higher.
Li Zhongyi smiled and said, "For the alien race that fears power but does not harbor virtue, it must be as cruel and ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. Therefore, the next plan is only aimed at the Liao, Dangxiang, Tubo, and the barbarians in the eastern and western regions. ”
Zhao Kuangyin was worried that Zhao Pu and Li Zhongyi would quarrel face-to-face, so he deliberately diverted the topic and said, "Come, come, come, do this altar first." ”
Li Zhongyi laughed, pulled Zhao Kuangyin, and began to fight. Zhao Pu could only take a sip of wine, while Li Zhongyi and Zhao Kuangyin were bowls of booze, and for a while, the atmosphere in the room was very warm.
After the joy was dispersed, Li Zhongyi put his hands behind his back and looked at the backs of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu who were far away, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
From the fact that there is always only Zhao Pu who accompanies the wine, Li Zhongyi can see that this Zhao Zeping has an important position in Zhao Kuangyin's mind.
It is no wonder that Zhao Pu in the later Northern Song Dynasty could go through two dynasties and serve as prime ministers repeatedly, and at this time, Zhao Kuangyin's important strategists were the only one.
Regardless of ancient or modern, in officialdom, talent is the basic, qualifications are a treasure, and backing is the most important.
You can't be too extreme, you must plant more flowers, plant fewer thorns, and have more friends and more roads!
Li Zhongyi didn't want to offend Zhao Pu, so the focus of his conversation just now was basically on military and technical aspects.
A captive with an uncertain future in the Hou Zhou Dynasty, as soon as they met, he offended the first strategist around Zhao Kuangyin, no matter what he said, it was unwise.
On the way back to Kaifeng, Zhao Pu's attitude towards Li Zhongyi was obviously much more cordial than before.
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that between him and Zhao Pu, no matter what he really thought in his heart, he would not tear his face.
Wise as Li Zhongyi, he did not ask Zhao Kuangyin why he withdrew his troops directly from Jianmen Pass. A lot of times, if you try to sharpen your head to understand things that you shouldn't know, it will be bad.
The big husband has something to do and something not to do, he should know where the proportion is!
On both sides of the Bianhe River, the peach blossoms are purple and red, and there is a new atmosphere of prosperity.
From Suzaku Gate to the north, the Royal Street leads directly to the Imperial City. Along the way, there are Daxiangguo Temple, Kaifeng Mansion and so on. The royal street is 100 feet wide and is paved with bluestone. In the middle, there is a white stone royal road that can accommodate six horse-drawn carriages in parallel, which is used by the royal family, and the royal street is planted with cypresses on both sides, and there are various shops under the cypress trees.
Li Zhongyi rode on his horse and carefully looked at the scene on both sides of the street. However, there are very few items on display.
Well, the opening at this time. It is far from reaching the flowery and wealthy scene in "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", at most it is just the early stage of business just budding.
After arriving in the palace, Zhao Kuangyin had been in the palace for more than two hours, but Li Zhongyi had been hanging outside the Chongzheng Palace.
A gust of wind blew. It was quickly overcast. Dark clouds suddenly topped up. Suddenly, a dazzling lightning bolt crossed the sky, and with a "click", a torrential downpour poured head-on on Li Zhongyi's body, instantly drenching him with a chill.
The attendants and palace maids in front of the palace brought umbrellas one after another and walked out of the corridor quickly. He opened his umbrella and greeted the officials who had also come to meet him.
Even if it's close at hand. Everyone also turned a blind eye to Li Zhongyi and watched him get drenched in the rain.
Li Zhongyi closed his eyes slightly, now he is no longer the fourth-grade young eunuch of Shu State, but an abandoned son who was completely betrayed by the lord of the country.
As an outcast, Li Zhongyi has long realized that as long as he passes today's pass, he can freely nest in Kaifeng, Tokyo, and live his leisurely life.
Knowing that Chai Rong deliberately wanted to fix him, Li Zhongyi naturally couldn't be stupid enough to find a place to hide from the rain, so he could only stand up and let the heavy rain splash on his body and sprinkle all over his body.
The summer rain came and fell quickly, until the rain stopped for a long time, and a chamberlain came out of the grass in the hall, walked up to Li Zhongyi, and said coldly: "Follow me to the side hall to change clothes." ”
In the side hall, the chamberlain brought Li Zhongyi a white robe, which is commonly known as a cloth robe.
Li Zhongyi immediately understood that Chai Rong used his clothes to make a hint, obviously warning him that if he had no delusions, he would probably lose his head.
After changing his clothes, Li Zhongyi's face was indifferent, without any uncomfortable expression.
The chamberlain suddenly asked Li Zhongyi: "Does this dress fit?" ”
"Fit, fits perfectly." Li Zhongyi was secretly funny, although this cloth dress was a little loose, it also seemed to be a tailor-made "masterpiece".
Obviously, this cloth clothes, if it weren't for the sudden rainstorm, would have changed to Li Zhongyi's body.
The waiter brought a cup of tea, Li Zhongyi received it in his hand, and there was not even a little heat, hehe, Chai Rong is really damaged enough, is there such a whole person?
Li Zhongyi happened to be thirsty, and without hesitation, he drank the cold tea in his stomach, "Well, the tea is very good, the taste is also good, and I drink it coolly." ”
The waiter stared at Li Zhongyi with a strange look, and Li Zhongyi said lightly: "Can I have another cup of this herbal tea?" ”
The chamberlain hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go and see if there's anything else." ”
After the waiter went out, Li Zhongyi's heart was already bright, and eighty percent of this kind of cold reception was arranged by Chai Rong.
Li Zhongyi knew in his heart, he led the township army to fight guerrillas near Hechi, and ruined Chai Rong's big event, and he was not directly cut off his head, so he was already considered very merciful by Chai Rong, how could he ask too much?
After a while, the waiter came over with another cup of tea, and Li Zhongyi took it and saw that it was actually steaming hot and piping hot tea.
Li Zhongyi just took a sip of boiling tea, and the waiter asked him with a gloomy face: "Aren't you thirsty?" Why don't you drink it in one sip? ”
"This kind of high-quality tea, it should be tasted carefully, how can it destroy the heavens?" Li Zhongyi was secretly funny, Chai Rong wanted to see what his character was, but he couldn't do what Lao Chai wanted.
drank the herbal tea in one gulp, indicating that Li Zhongyi was psychologically prepared to be a cloth cloth and grass man. Slowly tasting hot tea reflects Li Zhongyi's personality traits of being able to go up and down, and to bend and stretch.
In fact, according to the dumb game played between Chai Rong and Li Zhongyi, Li Zhongyi drank the dry and cold tea in one sip, which meant that he had the intention of surrendering.
Chai Rong deliberately asked the chamberlain to bring hot tea, if Li Zhongyi drank it dry in one gulp, did not burn his throat and did not say anything, this kind of thing that violated human nature would definitely cause Chai Rong to be highly vigilant.
If Chai Rong is labeled as a minister, if Li Zhongyi doesn't lose his head today, he will only have to support Zhao Lao'er to carry out the Chenqiao Mutiny, which is a road to turn over.
is very different from Meng Chang's faint goods, if Chai Rong, who is eloquent and resolute, had not died early, his historical status would have been far above Zhao Kuangyin.
