Supporting Zhao Kai as emperor?

As soon as these words came out, Wu Yong immediately clapped his hands and praised, "The deputy marshal's plan is very good, although Zhao Huan's series of unexpected actions have brought us an unprecedented crisis, but also brought us a lot of opportunities, his house arrest of the old emperor is no different from rebellion, coupled with his act of ceding land and betraying the country, as long as these things are announced to the world, it will definitely cause an uproar in the Song court, and it will also cause opposition from all forces loyal to the old emperor and Zhao Kai. Our rebellious army has been transformed into a division of King Qin's protector of the country! ”

Zheng Fei thought carefully and nodded lightly, "Okay, that's it, in the past few days, tens of thousands of notices have been printed and distributed overnight, announcing to the world that Zhao Huan is under house arrest and ceding land and betraying the country, creating a public opinion foundation for Zhao Kai to be the emperor, and when this matter spreads all over the world and has an effect, we will officially support Zhao Kai as the emperor!" Brother Zhu, go on, I want to listen to all your detailed plans. ”

"Yes." Zhu Wu continued, "Supporting Zhao Kai as emperor is only the first step, the purpose is to attack the heart, but it is not enough to do this, this time the Song court colluded with Liao and Xia to deal with us, although Liao and Xia sent hundreds of thousands of troops respectively, but they may not completely obey the orders of the Song court, and there is also a confused account between Liao and Xia that has not been clearly calculated, so their seemingly powerful 800,000 coalition army is not worrying at all, please listen to my detailed analysis." ”

"Although the Song Dynasty still has hundreds of thousands of troops, everyone knows that they can only fight the Northwest Forbidden Army, the Northwest Forbidden Army has lived in the Northwest for generations, and their ancestors have joined the army to fight against the Xia State to defend the country, the Northwest is their battlefield, the place where their ancestors threw their heads and spilled their blood, and it is also their homeland, but Zhao Huan gave the twelve states in the northwest to the Xia State, this move will definitely break the heart of the Northwest Army! We should immediately send a large number of people to infiltrate the northwest and declare this matter loudly, once this matter spreads, it will definitely cause an uproar in the Northwest Army, even if we cannot immediately rebel against them, it is equivalent to planting a seed of dissatisfaction and hatred in their hearts, and a little use in the future may cause a mutiny in the Northwest Army! ”

"Not long ago, the emperor of Liao imprisoned his son, gave his beloved concubine to death, and killed a large number of heroes with just a few false accusations from Xiao Fengxian, which shows that this person is an extremely suspicious person. This time he sent an army of 300,000, of which 200,000 were from Yeluchun's Nanjing Dao, which is quite intriguing, didn't the Liao Emperor know that Yeluchun had just married his daughter to the commander? Isn't this forcing Yeluchun to a dead end? At the same time, there is another detail, Ye Luchun only told Hua Rong that the Liao Kingdom would send 200,000 troops, is it necessary for Ye Luchun to conceal the other 100,000 troops sent by the Liao Emperor? There is no need at all, so Ye Luchun must not know that there are 100,000 troops in addition to his 200,000, which shows that the Liao Emperor is hiding from him! So I guess that these two doubts illustrate a problem, I am afraid that Ye Luchun's various actions have aroused the vigilance of the Liao Emperor, coupled with the role of Ye Lu Chun's sworn enemy Xiao Fengxian, with the Liao Emperor's suspicious heart, once he suspects Ye Lu Chun, if he does not take Ye Lu Chun, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sleep! But Yeluchun is highly respected, and he is a feudal officer with heavy troops, and a slight carelessness may cause Yeluchun's rebellion, if I am him, the first thing I have to do is to remove Yeluchun's military power! ”

"It just so happens that at this time, the Song court begged him to send reinforcements at the cost of ceding the thirteen states of Hebei, and he agreed to the conditions of the Song court, and Nanjing Road is the closest place to the Great Song Dynasty, so it is reasonable to let Ye Luchun send troops from Nanjing Road, but Ye Luchun has just married his daughter to the commander you, which just gave the Liao Emperor an excuse, if I were him, I would definitely use this as an excuse not to let Ye Luchun interfere in the command of these 200,000 people to avoid suspicion, to put it bluntly, the Liao Emperor is to let Ye Luchun and the 200,000 troops in his hands separate, and the mission of the other 100,000 troops, not surprisingly, is to monitor Yeluchun's 200,000 army and block Yeluchun's control over them! Yeluchun without an army is equivalent to a toothless tiger, and can only be slaughtered by the Liao Emperor! In this way, the Liao Emperor was able to remove the threat from Yeluchun by reinforcing the Song State, and at the same time obtain a large area of land in the entire thirteen states, killing two birds with one stone, so why not? ”

Zheng Fei looked at Zhu Wu in surprise, and admired it in his heart, Zhu Wu's imagination is too rich, no, to be able to deduce such a conclusion, imagination alone is not enough, but also in-depth and subtle observation and thinking.

Zheng Fei sighed in his heart that he had long relied on his familiarity with history, and he had only engaged in "one word" in many things, and many major decisions were made by himself, even if he let his subordinates participate, he only let them get along with the specific details of the action according to their own decisions, and now it seems that he is doing something wrong.

It can be said that Zhu Wu, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others are only afraid of which one is stronger than themselves in terms of intelligence, and their biggest advantage over them is only the process of knowing history well, but with the earth-shaking changes in today's history, their biggest advantage is also beginning to lose its value, and they will encounter more and more difficulties in the future, and the road ahead will become more and more precipitous.

Zheng Fei secretly made up his mind in his heart, it was time to give full play to everyone's collective wisdom!

"What Brother Zhu said is extremely true!" Zheng Fei said sincerely, "I have been unable to understand why the Liao Emperor just agreed to form an alliance with us but fell to the side of the Great Song Dynasty, I thought that the Liao Emperor was a capricious villain who only cared about his immediate interests, but I didn't expect that his real purpose was Ye Lu Chun, so I am afraid that he will agree to Ye Lu Chun to marry his daughter to me, and it is also a foreshadowing that he wants to do to Ye Lu Chun in advance!" This Liaohuang ...... It's not easy! ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Fei smiled bitterly, "It seems that people who can be emperors are never too stupid, just laugh at me I always thought that I was playing with others, but I didn't know that I might just be a chess piece in the hands of others!" But...... Good thing I still have you! ”

Zheng Fei stood up and solemnly hugged his fists towards everyone, "In the future, if I make mistakes in decision-making and do something wrong, please remind everyone more, even if I say something wrong, it doesn't matter, everything I say is not guilty!" ”

Zhu Wu, Wu Yong and the others were stunned for a moment, and then immediately hugged their fists excitedly, "I'll wait for the order!" ”

Zheng Fei beckoned everyone to sit down again, and said to Zhu Wu, "Brother Zhu, please continue to speak." ”

Zhu Wu continued, "Yeluchun has been crisscrossing the Liao Kingdom for decades, and he was even able to resist the temptation to betray a group of subordinates who wanted to establish himself as the emperor in exchange for the current power of the Liao Emperor, which shows that this person is far-sighted, resourceful, and ruthless!" This is a person who dares to make a move to abandon the car at a critical moment. Let's think about it, we can see the true purpose of Emperor Liao, can he not see it? So what will he do? He promised to send troops! Why did he dare to agree to send troops? There is only one explanation, that is, letting the 200,000 troops leave Nanjing Dao and leave his control, it will not threaten him to protect himself, otherwise, with his character, he will definitely not sit still, and as soon as the Holy Decree of the Liao Emperor arrives, he will immediately rebel! ”

Zheng Fei nodded again and again when he heard it, Zhu Wu's analysis was very reasonable, Ye Luchun had clearly hinted to himself that he wanted to support him as the Liao Emperor, indicating that it was not a matter at all to oppose him, and now he knew that the Liao Emperor asked him to send troops to weaken his strength, but he still did it, which can only show that he is sure that he can still protect himself without an army in his hands!

Zhu Wu continued, "Ye Luchun has been in charge of the Nanjing Liao Army for decades, it can be said that the Nanjing Liao Army is permeated with his influence everywhere, and it is definitely not a holy decree of the Liao Emperor that can be changed, even if the 200,000 troops leave Nanjing Dao, even if there are another 100,000 Liao troops watching, Ye Luchun still has the means to remotely control the 200,000 Nanjing Liao Army......!" ”

"Deputy marshal, there is something unknown about the little brother." I only heard Wang Yin ask, "Didn't Ye Luchun already secretly form an alliance with us?" The Liao Emperor is ready to deal with him, if I were him, I would definitely rebel immediately! But he sent all his hole cards to attack us, that is, his only ally, this move will destroy the alliance with us, not to mention, if we are really defeated, who else can he rely on? Won't sooner or later be cleaned up by Emperor Liao? Didn't he tear himself up? ”

Zhu Wu shook his head with a smile and said, "Wrong, sending troops is not only a bad thing for him, but it may also become a good thing." First, he promised to send troops, which could prove his loyalty and obedience to the Liao Emperor. Second, if the Liao army wants to attack us, it must first enter the Song realm, and once Yeluchun's 200,000 troops enter the Song realm without hindrance and retreat, they can directly capture the cities they pass by without much effort. Advance, you can continue to attack us, and get the thirteen states of Hebei according to the agreement with the Song State. Where are the thirteen states of Hebei? But next to Nanjing Road, even if the Liao Emperor wants to get the thirteen states, he has to go through Nanjing Road first, so to speak, as long as the Song State cedes the thirteen states, it is equivalent to falling directly into the hands of Yeluchun, with these thirteen states, Yeluchun's strength will increase greatly, which is a surefire deal for Yeluchun. Third, he can secretly form an alliance with us, can't he also secretly form an alliance with the Song State and the Xia State through this Central Plains War? With the current situation of the Song Kingdom, I am afraid that they will agree to any conditions proposed by Yeluchun. As for this fourth ......, I guess it is Ye Luchun's main purpose, everyone thinks, as soon as this matter comes out, he asked Hua Rong and others to quickly evacuate Liao, on the surface he looked like he wanted to break off diplomatic relations with us, but in fact, he poured bitter water on Hua Rong, saying how he was forced, and it was not his own idea to send troops at all, what did he want to do? He just wanted to tell us through Hua Rong that he didn't want to break off his friendship with us, he was just forced, so that we could still have a little illusion about him. In this way, Emperor Liao, he didn't offend, Song Guo, grateful to him, let's also understand his suffering. And he can secretly control the 200,000 troops in Nanjing Province to observe the situation, if the war is not good for us, he will fall into the ground, officially attack us, and get the benefits of the thirteen states of Hebei or even more. If the war is unfavorable to the Song side, he will fight back, while grabbing the territory of the Song State, while officially rebelling and becoming the emperor, continue to be our ally, and we must be grateful to him. Or, he can also use whether the 200,000 troops will participate in the war as a condition for blackmailing us, increase his bargaining chips with us, and strive for greater and more benefits for him! So, no matter how you look at it, it's a sure-fire deal! ”

"This old fox!" Zheng Fei also suddenly realized, "His abacus is really shrewd to the extreme!" ”

Zhu Wudao, "That's right, this seems to be a simple battle in the Central Plains, but in fact, it is a game of wits and courage, in which the forces of all parties are fighting openly and secretly to seek maximum benefits for themselves, and a slight change on the battlefield may cause completely different results!" If I guess correctly, Ye Luchun should get in touch with us again soon, and threaten us to agree to some of his conditions on the condition of whether the 200,000 Nanjing Liao army will participate in the war, if we agree, he will say that he will try his best to keep the 200,000 army still for a while, if we refuse, he will pretend to be helpless to say that he has lost control of the 200,000 army. Even if we knew that what he said was an excuse, we had to agree to him. If he doesn't contact us, we'd ...... better. Zhu Wu paused, glanced at Zheng Fei, and stopped talking,

Zheng Fei's heart moved, "Brother Zhu, please continue." ”

Zhu Wu nodded, and finally said, "It's best...... The commander can go and write a letter to Yeluchun in person, asking Yeluchun to find a way to make the 200,000 Liao troops stand still in the early stage of the war, at least stabilize him first, just in case ....... ”

"What?!" Wu Song got up and said angrily, "Let's just let him lead the way?" How could our Heavenly Dao Army ever suffer such a loss?! No, I don't agree! ”

"I won't say yes either!"

"And me! What difficulties haven't we experienced in the Heavenly Dao Army?! When we were in Liangshan, ten times our number of officers and soldiers came to attack us, did any of the brothers blink an eye?! Isn't it just 200,000 Khitan troops? Even if it's two million, we're not afraid, if we want the commander to beg them, this kind of gas must not be eaten! ”

"Yes!"

……，

For a time, the whole hall was full of opposition,

Zhu Wu didn't speak, looked at Zheng Fei,

Zheng Fei slapped the table violently, there was a loud noise, the room was instantly quiet, Zheng Fei looked around the audience with a gloomy face, and everywhere he looked, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and shifted their eyes.

"Do you know who you guys were talking to?" Zheng Fei said coldly, "It's with the deputy marshal!" Do you know what a deputy marshal is? It means that I am going to die, and the deputy commander is your supreme commander! You have a long ability, the deputy marshal only said one word, and you are against the sky! Do you still have me in your eyes?! ”

The generals knew that they had just gone too far, so they hurriedly said in unison that they didn't dare,

"Don't hurry up and admit your mistake to the deputy marshal!" Zheng Fei snorted coldly,

"I'm being rude, deputy marshal, please forgive me." Wu Song and the others hugged their fists towards Zhu Wu,

Zhu Wu smiled, even if he accepted it, but there was a burst of amazement in his heart, because among the group of people who roared at him just now, there were many old subordinates of the original Qishan Army, and their move was undoubtedly proof that the two armies had only passed this short time since the merger, and the commander had completely mastered the entire army .......

Zheng Fei's face softened, and then he said, "Have you forgotten what I taught you on weekdays?" On the battlefield, it is not only those who face the sea of swords and fires but continue to move forward without fear are called courage, you are courageous, what should you do if the brothers live or die?! Being able to bend and stretch is what a big husband does! If I beg Yeluchun once, I can reduce the casualties of an unknown number of soldiers, let alone write a letter to beg him, even if I kneel down for him, I am willing! Compared to the lives of my brothers, my dignity is bullshit! ”

The generals looked at each other, but somehow, their hearts were warm.

Zheng Fei concluded with a cold snort, looked at Zhu Wu again and said with a pleasant face, "Brother Zhu, this matter will be done like this, and the letter will be drafted by you." Now let's talk about Xia Guo. ”

Zhu Wu nodded and said, "The situation of the Xia Kingdom is the most special, he not only has the benefits of the territory to take, but also hates us to the core, and the desire to attack us is not much worse than that of the Song Kingdom, and we can't avoid this battle with them." ”

Zheng Fei nodded, stood up and walked to the opposite wall and looked up at the wall, there was a big map on the wall, which was the territory map of the entire Song Kingdom, and all the generals also got up and came behind Zheng Fei.

After a while, I saw Zheng Fei stretch out his hand and point at a place, and everyone looked at it, and the place they were referring to was Hebei Third Road.

Zheng Fei said, "It is impossible for the Song court to let the armies of the Liaoxia and Xia countries go too deep into the Song realm, so the direction they choose to attack must start from Hebei Third Road. Attack us from the north to the south. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Fei's fingers fell, and he pointed at the Great South and said, "According to the Song Ting's offensive habits, they will definitely choose to attack in multiple ways, and the grain-producing areas in the south are the places they can't wait to take." This is also one of the main purposes for which they want to stall for time. ”

Zheng Fei turned around and said, "Brothers, the current situation is like this, in addition to Yeluchun's 200,000 Liao army, we have to face at least 250,000 Xia troops, 100,000 Liao troops and nearly 300,000 Western troops. The situation is not in our favor! Therefore, the key to this battle lies in the opening battle, and in order to fight this battle well, the whole army must be prepared from now on, and after you go back, you should be ready to start the war at any time. And before the main force goes north to resist the Triple Alliance...... we must first carry out a general attack on the southern part of the Song Kingdom to completely eliminate the threat from the rear! ”

Zheng Fei's fingers drew a big circle throughout the south!

All the generals knew that there was another battle to be fought, and they all excitedly said in unison, "Yes!" ”
