541, Atonement (1)

The emperor's decision was originally expected by Zhao Liangsi, he was confident that it was definitely a reason that the emperor could not refuse, but when the final will to send the Heavenly Dao Army to the northwest was issued, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, if his performance at this moment fell in the eyes of the emperor and any of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military personnel, I was afraid that Zhao Liangsi must have a great hatred for the Heavenly Dao Army, otherwise why would he try his best to promote the Heavenly Dao Army to be sent to the northwest where the enemy was stronger and the battle was more intense?

But the actual situation is that only Zhao Liangsi knows the real reason, and it was not his original intention to push the Heavenly Dao Army into the "fire pit" at all, and the reason why he did it was because of a reason that even he himself couldn't figure out why...... All of this was asked by Zheng Fei to do it! It was Zheng Fei who sent people thousands of miles away to meet Cai Yu before he arrived in Tokyo, and asked him to make sure that the emperor made such a decision.

Zhao Liangsi didn't understand why Zheng Fei wanted him to do this, but he still agreed to Zheng Fei's request. And when the will was issued, Zhao Liangsi immediately closed the door and thought about it for a few days and nights with his extremely smart head, but he still didn't understand why Zheng Fei did this, so he also boldly assumed many possibilities, for example, could it be that the Qishan Army and the Heavenly Dao Army were in a group? That's why Zheng Fei didn't let the Heavenly Dao Army go to the southeast? After all, he knew very well that Zhu Wu was a staunch follower of Zheng Fei at the beginning, and the process of Zhu Wu's betrayal of Zheng Fei was so unexpected. But he immediately rejected this idea, because if all this was true, then Zheng Fei's game would be too big, how did he know that Zhu Wu would definitely be able to raise troops in Qishan and cross the southeast in the future? How did he know that the Tanguts would definitely attack the Great Song Dynasty when he and Zhu Wu were in rebellion at the same time? How did he know ......?

Unless he is an immortal and can predict the prophet, none of this is possible. And even if the Heavenly Dao Army and the Qishan Army are really together, with the talents of Zheng Fei and Na Zhu Wu, it is easy to perform a double reed play with the Great Song Dynasty, and it is impossible to send their elite to the northwest to fight hard.

In the end, Zhao Liangsi gave up his meaningless conjecture, although he firmly believed that the reason why Zheng Fei did this must be because of a great benefit, he could only come to the window with a wry smile helplessly, looked in the direction of the east and sighed softly, "Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, what tricks are you playing?" What exactly is the benefit of the Northwest that is worth the price you pay? ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The reason why Zhao Liangsi couldn't guess Zheng Fei's purpose was actually very simple, because he had considered the wrong direction from the beginning, he always thought that Zheng Fei's starting point for doing anything was out of various interests, but as everyone knows, Zheng Fei really didn't consider any benefits this time, and the reason why he wanted to send troops to the northwest was completely out of a psychology of atonement, because ...... He also had a ...... in this attack of the Tanguts.

A few months ago, when the imperial court was making final preparations for the Eastern Crusade, Zheng Fei secretly sent Zhu Gui's younger brother, "Smiling Tiger" Zhu Fu, to the northwest and into the territory of Western Xia.

After Zhu Fu arrived in Western Xia, he was first deliberately discovered by the Western Xia army, and then revealed his identity and said that he was a messenger from the "Heavenly Dao Kingdom" in the Great Song Dynasty, and asked to see the Emperor of Great Xia.

The Western Xia army reported this situation layer by layer, first to the younger brother of the current Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, the Western Xia general Jin Wang Chage.

When Brother Cha heard it, what? Heavenly Dao Kingdom in the Great Song Dynasty? How come I haven't heard of this country? But he still ordered someone to bring Zhu Fu closer,

Zhu Fu said, "I am a native of Jingxi Road in the Great Song Dynasty, and now our Tiandao Army has raised troops against the Great Song Dynasty, killing the Song Army to lose its armor and occupy the East and West East Road for half a year, and the Great Song Dynasty has no way to take us." ”

Only then did Brother Cha understand that the spies planted in the Great Song Dynasty had indeed sent back news that a group of thieves had come out of the East and West Roads of the Great Song Dynasty, defeated the Song army and occupied the East and West East Roads, and he asked, "Then what are you trying to do when you come to us?" ”

Zhu Fu said, "I'm here to give a big gift to the Great Xia Kingdom. ”

Brother Cha smiled contemptuously, "Oh? Gift? What big gift can you thieves give us, who have only captured a small Jingxi Road for a few months? ”

Zhu Fudao, "Is half of the Great Song considered a big gift?" ”

Brother Cha was immediately shocked when he heard this, pondered for a moment and said, "Go on!" ”

Zhu Fu said, "Today, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is mediocre and incompetent, reusing traitorous ministers, and making the name of the people miserable, so we rebelled." Now they are preparing to attack us, and although we are absolutely confident that we can defeat them, our commander-in-chief has more ambitions than that, he also wants to defeat the Great Song and establish a new country! Therefore, our commander would like to ask you to prepare for the attack on the Great Song ......,"

Brother Cha interrupted him with a sneer, "You want us to help you contain the power of the Great Song?" That's impossible! ”

Zhu Fu shook his head and continued, "No, our plan is that after we defeat the imperial court to attack our army, we will immediately take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Tokyo in the Great Song Dynasty, and then the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably be in chaos, and you will take the opportunity to launch an attack from the northwest, we will attack from the east and west, and the Great Song Dynasty will be defeated, and then we will divide the Great Song Dynasty together." ”

Cha Ge was the most outstanding general in the Western Xia Dynasty, and he understood that if these people who occupied the Jingxi Road could really defeat the army of the Great Song Dynasty and threaten the Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty, it would indeed be a golden opportunity for the Western Xia, but this was only based on the most perfect hypothesis, and there were too many uncertainties in it, for example, what would happen if these people were defeated by the Great Song Dynasty? He then sneered, "Just because you want to defeat the army of the Song State with that projectile land? It's still impossible for us to go to war with the Song Kingdom again for your sake. ”

Zhu Fu replied, "So our commander only asked your country to be ready to attack, in case we fail, you just give up attacking the Great Song Dynasty, everything is as usual, and it will not affect you." But if we do succeed, you will miss the opportunity if you prepare hastily, and it is difficult to say whether there will be such a good opportunity in the future. ”

Brother Cha was moved, and he played the matter to Emperor Li Qianshun,

Li Qianshun is one of the most outstanding emperors in the history of Western Xia, he worked hard, eloquent, today's Western Xia under his governance under the national strength continues to strengthen, it has the potential of the Ming Jun at that time, he listened to Brother Cha's report is also very moved, immediately convened the ministers to discuss the feasibility of this matter, and finally they decided that this is indeed a good opportunity, and all they have to do is a wait, waiting for the people of Jingdong and West Road to defeat the Song army, or they are defeated by the Song army, Even if it is empty and happy in the end, it doesn't matter, it should be a military exercise to mobilize the army.

So, Li Qianshun asked Brother Cha to tell Zhu Fu, and asked Zhu Fu to go back and tell Zheng Fei that Xia agreed to their request, but don't expect Xia to send troops in advance to help you contain Song, we will only attack after you have truly defeated Song's army, and if you fail, we will also send a congratulatory letter to the emperor of Song, congratulating him on quelling the rebellion in the country.

After Zhu Fu left, Cha Ge immediately ordered the spies in the Great Song Kingdom to go to Jingxi Road immediately to pay close attention to the situation on Jingxi Road. After a few months, he received a news that surprised him, the Song State had prepared more than 200,000 troops to attack the Jingxi Road, but this was not the most surprising to him, what surprised him the most was his old opponent, the Xihe Jingluo who had been a headache for him and the countrymen, and Liu Fa, the "God of War", also led 50,000 troops to leave the northwest to participate in the war.

Brother Cha let out a long sigh after hearing the news, in his opinion, the group of passers-by in Jingxi and Beijing must be finished, and someone immediately suggested that Li Qianshun and Brother Cha abandon the plan and withdraw the prepared army, so as not to stimulate the Great Song Dynasty, but Li Qianshun and Brother Cha invariably rejected this suggestion, because although they were afraid of Liu Fa and thought that the group of passers-by in Jingxi and Beijing were in danger, they were also looking forward to the miracle happening!

As a result, a miracle really happened, those east-west passers-by actually defeated the more than 200,000-strong army of the Song Kingdom, and the invincible "God of War" Liu Fa actually surrendered and became a member of those east-west passers-by! In addition, they have learned that the southeast of the Great Song Dynasty is also in chaos, and the old handsome Tong Guan in the northwest is trapped in the southeast quagmire and cannot get out, Li Qianshun and Brother Cha are surprised, and the opportunity has really come! They immediately ordered an army of 400,000 to launch a surprise attack on the Song State!

And this is why when Zheng Fei negotiated with the Song State on Zhao'an to the critical moment when the Tangut people suddenly attacked, of course Zheng Fei would not really want to do anything with the Tangut people to "fight between the east and the west" and "carve up the Great Song Dynasty", if he really did that, he would be a sinner who betrayed the nation, how to talk about the determination to avoid the occurrence of the "shame of Jingkang", and what to talk about "saving the Han Dynasty and helping the generals of Huaxia"?! The reason why he did this was just to use the Tangut people to force the Great Song to agree to his conditions, which was an extremely painful decision for him, but he had to do it!

Although Zhu Fu's operation was a secret operation, only Zheng Fei himself knew, but the northwest was indeed caught in the flames of war because of him, and the Chinese nation was once again invaded by foreign captives, and the place where the war spread must be devastated.

Therefore, Zheng Fei was willing to send an army to the northwest to participate in the war, and he wanted to atone for his sins and drive the Western Xia people out of the northwest!
