1126 Ye Qing's weakness
In the Yanjing Palace, Wan Yan Jing's expression was particularly gloomy, Wan Yan Yongji's expression was also ugly, Yelu Liuge and Yelu Liubu rebelled has become a fact, and now the only ones who can balance the two are Zhang Zhiyuan of Tokyo Road and Wanyan Heda of Beijing Road, and Wanyan Silie of Zhongjing Road can only stick to Zhongjing Road because he wants to guard Zhongjing Road and protect Yanjing from being invaded by traitors.
Wanyan Yongji obviously didn't expect that Ye Qing was really thinking about Jin Guo this time, and he didn't mix other selfish thoughts at all.
Wan Yan Jing looked out the window in a daze, he didn't believe that Ye Qing really had such good intentions, purely to warn them, but now that the matter was said by Ye Qing again, Wan Yan Jing's heart was slightly remorseful, but it was more about worrying about Wujing Road now.
"Di Jier, Pu Xian Wannu, and Wanyan Chengyu have now led their troops to Zhongjing Road, and they will be able to point directly to the ...... Xijing Road in a few days." Wanyan Yongji faced Wanyan Jing, and felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, if it weren't for his so-called strategy of two households plus one, then he would not have fallen into such a situation.
"Why don't you let the begging stone gods and slaves go to quell the rebellion?" Wan Yan Jing turned his head, looked at Wan Yan Yongji calmly and asked.
"Back to the saint, the begging gods and slaves need to stay in Yanjing to protect Yanjing, and the minister plans to leave for Zhongjing tomorrow and personally supervise Yan Chengyu and other soldiers." Wanyan Yongji must take a higher stance and positive actions to make up for his mistakes.
Although Wan Yan Jing did not blame him, and even took this matter on himself, the more Wan Yan Jing was like this, the more he made Wan Yan Yongji, the imperial uncle, feel more guilty and blame himself.
"Has Beijing Road been lost?" Wan Yan Jing frowned, he didn't mean to blame King Wei Shao, even now, he still thought that this was his own mistake and had nothing to do with Uncle Huang.
So even now that the Khitan Liao people's rebellion on Wujing Road has become a fact, Wan Yan Jing did not plan to let Wan Yan Yongji personally go on the expedition, in his opinion, the rebellion of the Khitan Liao people should have been premeditated, and he was already dissatisfied with the Jin State in his heart, and then he would take the opportunity of the implementation of the policy of two households plus one household to rebel.
"Uncle Huang doesn't have to blame himself, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the Khitan Liao people must have already been dissatisfied with my Dajin, this time it's just taking the opportunity to make things bigger, and it has nothing to do with Uncle Huang's strategy. It's just that now Zhongjing Road must not be lost, once Yelu Liuge and Yelu Gobu converge, it will be ...... for us. Wan Yan Jing looked at King Wei Shao, who was a little depressed, and comforted.
The footsteps interrupted Wan Yan Jing's words of comfort to Wan Yan Yongji, and as Jia Gu Qing, Lin Ming, Li Xiang and other courtiers came in with serious faces, Wan Yan Jing's originally frowning brows were even more twisted at this time.
"Zhongqing doesn't need to persuade me, although Yelulu is a Khitan Liao, but this time Yeluliuge and others rebelled, and it has nothing to do with Yelulu, if I wronged those Yelulu who are loyal to the Dajin Kingdom because of this, wouldn't it make all the Khitan Liao people chill because of this?" Wan Yan Jing glanced at Wan Yan Yongji, his thoughts were the same as those of King Wei Shao, and he must not be angry with other Khitan courtiers in Yanjing because of the rebellion of Yelu Liuge and others.
After all, although this move can play a role in killing chickens and monkeys, if it is not grasped well, it will make the entire Dajin fall into a situation from which it will never recover, thus giving those originally wavering courtiers an excuse to follow the rebellion.
"Shengshang, Xijing Road and Shangjing Road have Yelulu's two sons in the army, if the Shengshang does not severely punish Yelulu in Beijing, I'm afraid it will only make his two sons more unscrupulous to follow Yeluliuge to rebel." Lin Ming said urgently with a serious expression.
Almost overnight, the rumors of the rebellion on Xijing Road and Shangjing Road became a fact, and at this time, the army had assembled outside Yanjing City, ready to go north to Zhongjing Road, and then suppress the rebel party.
At this time, if Yanjing City can assist the army from the side and punish Yelulu and other Khitan Liao people in Yanjing City, then it will definitely be able to deter those rebellious ministers and thieves, and maybe it will make Yeluliuge and others dare not rebel further.
And just when Wan Yan Jing looked at Wan Yan Yongji, the begging stone lie gods and slaves also appeared at the door at the right time, and after seeing Wan Yan Jing beckoning, he immediately walked in quickly, and whispered beside Wan Yan Jing: "Back to the Holy Lord, Song Tingye Qing gave you a letter." ”
Wan Yan Jing looked at the begging stone lie gods and slaves with some surprise, and immediately took the unopened letter, and the quite familiar font came into view again, just a few simple words, but it made Wan Yan Jing's heart beat faster.
"Beware that the Koreans will join forces with Jeluliuge and others, and beware of the Mongols supporting Jeruliugo's rebellion behind their backs, even sending troops to help them fight against your country. Therefore, it is better to cut through the chaos quickly, and immediately move north with troops on the two roads east of the river and the two roads in Hebei, and strive to suppress the rebellion in the shortest possible time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Wan Yanjing looked at the simple words, and he was still not sure about the purpose of Ye Qing's move, but I have to say that once Yelu Liuge really colluded with the Mongols, then it would be difficult to quell the rebellion in a short period of time just by relying on Beijing, Tokyo, and even Zhongjing Road.
Moreover, Ye Qing's first sentence told him that the Koreans might also send troops to help Yeluliuge, which made the situation on Wujing Road more and more complicated.
The simple letter from Ye Qing in his hand, after Yan Jing read it several times in a row, he handed it over to Wan Yan Yongji next to him.
"Summoning Yan Xiang, finishing Yan Shoudao, and Yelu entering the palace." Wan Yan Jing said calmly, and
After that, he ignored the courtiers who came to him to meet him and wanted to punish Yelulu, and walked out of the imperial study quickly, accompanied by the gods and slaves of the begging stones.
"What does Ye Qing mean by this?" Walking out of the imperial study, Wan Yan Jing, whose ears had finally been purified, asked the begging stone lie gods and slaves who were following closely beside him.
The begging stone lie gods and slaves did not drag their feet, and replied decisively: "Ye Qing's intention is to break the covenant, and now Ye Qing is in Chang'an, and after the last time he took the initiative to negotiate peace, he obviously recognized it as a great shame, because when he returned to Lin'an, he also attracted the impeachment of his colleagues, although he finally passed the test." But the minister thought that Ye Qing's move suggested that Shengshang transfer troops from Hedong and Hebei to send generals, probably just to take the opportunity to cross the river when the troops were empty. ”
"Yes, this is Ye Qing's real purpose, he went to Chang'an from Shandong Road, obviously he planned to be ashamed. At the beginning of the battle in Yanzhou, no one took advantage of half of it, but no matter what, Ye Qing's initiative to sue for peace still made his undefeated reputation questioned, so taking this opportunity to shame naturally became something he urgently needed. After Yan Jing walked out of the imperial study, his mind lit up in an instant, and he suddenly figured out the true purpose of Ye Qing's letter.
"Is there any change in Jinan Mansion?" Wan Yan Jing took the begging stone martyrs and the gods and slaves, and unconsciously walked to the same paradise to hide quietly.
At the beginning, the emperor's grandfather Wan Yan Yong had talked to Ye Qing alone here, but now, the pavilion is still there, but there is no longer the shadow of Ye Qing and Wan Yan Yong, everything is no longer what it used to be, even the Jin Kingdom under his rule, unconsciously, has come to a precarious point.
"There has been no change in Jinan Mansion, but it also has to prevent Ye Qing's soldiers from dividing into two ways, but it is just ...... Ye Qing has always been cunning, if the soldiers are divided into two ways, it is also difficult to judge who is the main and who is the auxiliary. Although Ye Qing wants to be ashamed, he is not a person who is happy about his achievements in terms of right and wrong, on the contrary, from the fact that Yanzhou took the initiative to negotiate peace, it can be seen that Ye Qing is an extremely pragmatic person, as long as it is beneficial to him, he will never care about the so-called integrity and other false names, everything is based on actual interests. "In the past two years, the begging stone martyrs have not done much other things, and almost all their thoughts have been used to judge Ye Qing's acting style.
"If the soldiers are divided into two ways, do you think it ......." Wan Yan Jing instantly felt like a numb heart, dealing with Ye Qing, so that he always had a kind of brain that was not enough, as if no matter how he calculated, it seemed to be in Ye Qing's expectation, unconsciously sighed helplessly, and said, "Do you think Ye Qing will put which way is false and which way is true?" ”
The begging Shilie gods and slaves paused for a moment, and then said cautiously: "With the minister's understanding of Ye Qing, since he suggested that the saint gather the troops of Hebei and Hedong to suppress the rebellion on Wujing Road, then the minister thinks that Ye Qing's road from Chang'an will not be the direction of the main attack, and he must put the main attack on Jinan Mansion on Shandong Road." After all, if Ye Qing's purpose is Yanjing, then attacking from west to east from Chang'an can be said to be a checkpoint fortress step by step, and there is no need to say anything else, and the four major checkpoints of Taiyuan, Yanmen Pass, Niangzi Pass, and Zhending Mansion are enough to make it difficult for Ye Qing to capture in a short time, so the minister thinks that Ye Qing is ...... attack. ”
"Why can't we put a ......large army on the opposite side like Ye Qing did when he stuck to Yanzhou." Wan Yan Jing frowned, the analysis of the begging stone martyrs and gods, no matter how you look at it, is occupied by Ye Qing, and they have always been in a passive situation.
The expressions of the begging stone martyrs dimmed instantly, and their expressions became extremely solemn, and under Wan Yanjing's gaze, they said a little helplessly: "The three thousand battalions in Ye Qing's hands are invincible, and they were in Yanzhou at the beginning...... The Holy One had also seen their power, and a small mountain was instantly razed to the ground in the dusty poplars that covered the sky. Therefore, if Ye Qing had already calculated, I am afraid that he would ....... ”
"You're saying he's already prepared on the other side, and if our army sets foot in ......." Wan Yanjing's heart began to sink involuntarily.
"Ye Qingzhi is in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, this is not a secret, and even he once mentioned it frankly to the Holy Lord, so the minister thinks that we don't have to pay attention to Ye Qing's various actions around him, as long as we tighten the surrounding checkpoints dominated by Yanjing and put heavy troops on defense, it will be difficult for Ye Qing to help us. And the minister thinks that Ye Qing will definitely not be consumed with us for a long time, no matter which station, Ye Qing has always liked to fight quickly, in fact, this is not because Ye Qing's soldiers are strong and strong, but his food and grass supply has always been a fatal weakness, he can not get the favorable support of the Lin'an court, and can only rely on the weak and barren northern land to continuously supply them with all kinds of materials, so they can't fight for too long, as long as we guard the first line of defense of Taiyuan and Yanmen, and take Zhending and Niangziguan as the second line of defense, Then the minister thinks that he can ensure that Yanjing is worry-free. And if these two lines of defense can not be lost, then Ye Qing's offensive from Chang'an will also be broken up by us over time, and he will have to take the initiative to withdraw his troops when the time comes. "All of this that the beggar Shilie gods and slaves said was based on the premise of not following Ye Qing's advice and transferring troops to suppress Wujing Road.
And if the rebellion on Wujing Road cannot be suppressed in the shortest possible time, then it is inevitable to mobilize troops from all walks to quell the rebellion of the Khitan Liao, so that whether the Song people attack one way or two ways, the pressure will naturally be much less, and it is even very likely to take the opportunity to seize some important checkpoints.
So this is also the reason why the begging stone lie gods and slaves regard Taiyuan and Yanmen Pass as the first line of defense, and Zhending Mansion and Niangzi Pass as the second line of defense, that is, it has been done, once the imperial court draws troops from Hedong and Hebei, the begging stone lie gods and slaves plan to release
Abandon the first line of defense between Taiyuan and Yanmen, and stick to the line of defense between Zhending Mansion and Niangziguan.
Ye Qing's weakness is indeed as analyzed by the gods and slaves of Qishilie, since the beginning of the Northern Expedition to the present, whether it is in the supply of grain and grass, or in obtaining the support of the imperial court, it will always belong to the practice of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall, and it will always be a tactic of putting the ground to death and then revitalizing.
Therefore, almost every battle is a desperate move, which is based on the premise that you must win and cannot accept defeat, once you lose, the impeachment and attack from the imperial court will make Ye Qing feel like a mountain of pressure in an instant, and similarly, because of the overdraft of food and materials from all walks of life in the north, the entire northland will fall into a dead loop, and it will be difficult to regain strength in a short time.
So fortunately, Ye Qing won every battle in the end, and if he lost, as long as the enemy breathed more than him, as long as the other party could realize his weakness, then with just one finger, he could pierce the entire northern defense line.
This is one thing that makes the begging Shilie gods and slaves regret the most, that is, after the Yanzhou peace was negotiated, he should have listened to his inner voice and counterattacked Ye Qing, but at that time, he had not fully understood Ye Qing's weaknesses as he did now, so he missed an opportunity to put Ye Qing to death.
Ye Qing's initiative to negotiate peace, it seems that because the two armies have been fighting hard for half a year, no one can help anyone's compromise, but in fact, Ye Qing has reached the point of being at the end of the crossbow, and has completely reached the point of despair of running out of ammunition and food, and has no strength to fight with Jin again.
Although the Jin people seemed to be in high morale at that time because of the arrival of Wan Yan Jing, because of the half-year tug-of-war and hard fighting, under the premise that both sides could not help each other, in fact, there was no morale to fight again, but even so, in terms of grain and grass, they were still much stronger than Ye Qing.
Therefore, for the begging stone lie gods and slaves, after the Yanzhou peace was negotiated, because of Ye Qing's cunning and insidiousness, he mistakenly thought that the Song people still had the strength to continue to consume with them, but in fact, at that time, a finger might be able to poke Ye Qing.
"So, the same is true when Guanshan was closed?" Yan Jing said after being silent for a long time.
Even though the eunuch had reported to him several times, and the courtiers he had summoned by Wan Yan Jing were already waiting in the main hall, Wan Yan Jing was still unhurried to discuss with the begging Shi Lie gods and slaves the reasons why he always failed in the face of Ye Qing.
The begging stone martyrs were silent, Guan Shan was indeed frightened by Ye Qing's momentum of blocking thousands of people alone.
The Song army of 5,000 people was pursued by the Xia people like a lost dog, and the number was less than 3,000 after a series of hard battles, plus the Xia people in front of them were the strongest in Guanshan, and it was also the checkpoint with the largest number of defense troops, and there were also his 20,000 troops surrounded from Qinjiayuan Road, so it stands to reason that Ye Qing was already a turtle in the urn and could not escape.
But Ye Qing turned out to be alive with the strength of one person, which shocked him from begging the gods and slaves of Shilie, making him dare not take a step forward, and finally let Ye Qing win the opportunity to fight to the death with the Xia people and wait for reinforcements for the three thousand Hua family soldiers who fought to the death against the Xia people, thus surviving the moment of life and death.
If the begging stone spirits and slaves were not afraid of the sharp weapons in Ye Qing's hands, and continued to march towards the Red Deer Pass in a desperate manner, then even if hundreds or thousands of people died, or even if they died under the sharp weapons in Ye Qing's hands as soon as possible, I am afraid that there would be no such scenes as Ye Qing could die in the summer later, and Ye Qing would also die in Guanshan with his army of flower planters, at most, leaving behind a sad stroke that made future generations sigh and sigh with a lot of emotion.
escaped death again and again, and had the last laugh at the end of the strong crossbow again and again, and finally fulfilled the now powerful Northland Hero, so that Jin Guo was passive step by step, and could only sigh in regret, and sigh helplessly those ifs and yes.
"If I hand over the four roads of Hebei and Hedong to you to guard, will you have the confidence to win Ye Qing?" Wan Yan Jing's eyes were full of firmness, and his expression was equally resolute as he looked at the begging stone lie gods and slaves with a shocked face.
"Holy ...... Minister...... The minister will not give up, even if he dies in battle, he will never let Ye Qing step into the Zhending Mansion ....... The beggar gods fell to their knees.
"No, what I want is that Taiyuan and Yanmen will not be lost, Ye Qing wants the sixteen states of Yanyun, and I will not let him succeed in any state." Wan Yanjing said firmly.
"Yes...... But if the minister is too far away from Yanjing, the saint is in Yanjing, once the Song people ...... from Shandong Road. "The begging stone martyrs have to worry about Yan Jing's safety, after all, Ye Qing this time, it is obvious that he will never only attack the Jin Kingdom from Chang'an.
"Wanyan Shoudao is the general left by the emperor's grandfather to me, although he has been recuperating in the past two years, although he cannot send troops to Zhongjing to quell the rebellion, but ...... It shouldn't be a problem for him to defend the eastern gateway for me, right? Wan Yanjing was a little helpless.
The current situation is indeed too unfavorable for him and Dajin Kingdom, Ye Qing finally revealed his hideous face full of ambition, and also chose the opportunity for the Khitan Liao people to rebel, which also made Wan Yan Jing have to choose to make a desperate bet, pinning all his expectations on the two of them, Qishilie Divine Slave and Wan Yan Shoudao.
Perhaps the beggar stone lie gods and slaves patronized and thanked Wan Yan Jing for his trust, but they didn't notice that when Wan Yan Jing made this decision, he had actually made the worst plan, that is, ...... If it was a last resort, he planned to abandon the Wujing Road, hold the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to the death, and let the Khitan Liao people on the Wujing Road fight openly and secretly with the Mongols and even the Goryeo people who participated in the merger.
