Chapter 13 The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky
The mobilization of troops in China has always been justifiable.
The famous article "Out of the Teacher's Table" is the text of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, when he decided to go north to attack Wei, and gave the former lord Liu Chan a book, with the revival of the Han Dynasty and the Central Plains of Beiding as the core theme of the article.
There is also Chen Lin, one of the seven sons of Jian'an, in order to correct Yuan Shao's name, he also made a masterpiece of "Yuzhou Literature for Yuan Shao".
This kind of payment should not be underestimated.
In many cases, the article on the pen is no less than the army of thousands of horses.
As soon as the "Departure Table" came out, the morale of the soldiers in Shuzhong was high.
As soon as "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao" came out, Cao Cao was directly scared in a cold sweat for a lifetime. It's just that Cao Cao was suffering from a head wind at that time, and the illness occurred in bed, and as soon as this cold sweat came out, the illness was cured.
After Li Longji made up his mind to go south, he immediately ordered Zhang Shuo, who was also a temple Wenzong with Pei Min, to write a letter of "Asking for Thieves to Pay the Document", showing the world that Wang Shi's southern expedition was justified.
Zhang said that the rhetoric is gorgeous, grim and steep, majestic and bold, and it is indeed a literary style.
A "Confession of Thieves" is sprinkled with more than 1,000 words, written in every word, every sentence is exciting, and the seven major mistakes of King Nanzhao are listed, which makes people smell that their blood is boiling, and they are angry and rush to the crown, and they can't wait to join the army directly and go south together.
As soon as the article came out, it immediately attracted Shilin's pursuit.
The people around Beijing sang praises and support, and look forward to Wang Shi's expedition!
As ordinary people, how did they know Pei Min's strategy, they simply felt that King Nanzhao was treacherous and deserved to be sanctioned by the Celestial Empire.
As for Zhang Qiantuo's rape and murder of Princess Nanzhao, this kind of ugly thing, Zhang Shuo naturally will not be written into the "Thief Surrender Document".
Don't make a family ugly public!
Therefore, except for a few people in the temple, the vast majority of ministers didn't even know about this matter, and the vast majority of people thought that everything was Nanzhao's fault.
As the center of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was the most well-informed and developed, and the news of Wang Shi's southern expedition soon spread throughout the Tang Dynasty
By the time Pei Min, who was in Liangzhou, learned of the start of the Nanzhao War, Li Longji's order to enmity and Qiong's southern expedition had already been issued, and the "Asking for Thieves to Pay the Papers" had spread all over the world.
Zhang Jiuling, Li Linfu, Gao Shi, Ge Shuhan, and Gao Xianzhi, who got the news, were all surprised, and they gathered to the Jiedu envoy.
They are all Pei Min's most trusted henchmen, and they all know Pei Min's strategic plans.
Containing Tibet from the north to the south is the most important link in the overall layout.
This Tang Dynasty suddenly declared war on Nanzhao, and everyone was surprised.
Obviously a strategic relationship has been formed, so if you turn your face?
It's not just them, Pei Min himself is a little unexpected.
Pei Min himself is good at calculation and belongs to the war-seeking faction. After the edification of Li Jing and Pei Xingjian's art of war, he has long hidden armored soldiers. What he does best is control the tempo of the battle. As long as the rhythm is in hand, the more comfortable and comfortable he plays, the worse the opponent will lose.
As long as everything follows the rhythm, Pei Min is confident that after the completion of Gaochangcang, he will take the initiative to control the situation and hit the only Arab that can threaten the Tang Dynasty in this era and reach the peak.
As for Tubo, Pei Min didn't pay attention to it for the time being, and he also believed that Wang Zhongsi would be able to deal with it.
The change of Nanzhao made Pei Min very passive, the rhythm was completely disrupted, and even faintly out of control.
In the face of the gathering of his subordinates, Pei Min also told everyone about what happened in the south.
For his henchmen, Pei Min did not hide it, and told Zhang Qiantuo about the rape and murder of Mrs. Bai Jie, the princess of Nanzhao.
Zhang Jiuling, Li Linfu, Gao Shi, Ge Shuhan, and Gao Xianzhi looked at each other when they heard this, and the scene was embarrassing for a long time.
No matter from which point of view, this matter is indeed Zhang Qiantuo's fault.
Ge Shuhan, who was more short-tempered, scolded directly: "Where did this bastard thing come out, even if you can't manage your lower body, you can go to the ambition of the girl in the Qinglou, and play as much as you want." Looking for Princess Nanzhao, isn't this looking for death...... It's still dragging us down, and it's a thousand cuts. ”
Pei Min's thoughts were the same, and he didn't stop Ge Shuhan, and continued to talk about the content of the notice of King Pi Luo Ge of Nanzhao.
The person who scolded this time was not just one person.
It's almost emotional.
But compared to Ge Shuhan's rudeness, the others are much more elegant.
Zhang Jiuling blew his beard and glared at him: "How can this be reasonable, the foreign barbarians really take the lizard as their heart and the jackal as their sex, and they can't be taught." ”
As Zhang Jiuling, who is known for his elegance and bearing, he scolds people so literary.
Gao Shi was not much different, and hummed: "A good one is the same mountain wolf, so unjust, it is determined to be the common jealousy of gods and men, and it is intolerable to heaven and earth." ”
As for Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi, they are much rude in comparison, and all kinds of Tang Dynasty scolding.
Gao Xianzhi was so lost.
Ge Shuhan directly exerted his reckless temperament, and shouted angrily: "Thief grandson, such arrogance and ignorance, angry with Brother Shu." If it weren't for the old man in Liangzhou, he would have to let this grandson know how his father came out. ”
Only Li Linfu frowned silently, thinking about something.
The misfit Li Linfu quickly attracted Pei Min's attention, and he asked, "Did Lin Fu make a discovery?" ”
Li Linfu bowed and said: "My subordinates feel a little strange, and I think about it carefully, and I think that there may be unknown cats in it. ”
At this time, the only one who could calm down was Li Linfu alone.
Even Pei Min himself is a little emotional.
This feeling is called "a sense of honor for the family and country"!
The current Tang Dynasty is very powerful, almost invincible externally, invincible in all directions, and politically clear, prosperous and powerful internally.
The Age of Prosperity Has Come......
In the face of such a country, Pei Min is a Han and a Chinese with heartfelt pride and love.
Even Pei Min is like this, and literati like Zhang Jiuling and Gao Shi are even more so, and their poems in recent years are full of love and pride for the country.
Geshuhan is a native of Tuqishi, and Gao Xianzhi is a Goguryeo, but they grew up in the land of the Tang Dynasty and are deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and they have long regarded themselves as members of the Tang Dynasty, and they are really willing to throw their heads and spill their blood for this country.
Therefore, when he heard that the king of Nanzhao Pi Luoge was so arrogant, he arrogantly slandered the Tang Dynasty, and regarded the Tang Dynasty as Zhang Qiantuo's goods.
Where can I stand it!
Zhang Jiuling, Gao Shi, Ge Shuhan, and Gao Xianzhi all felt that Xiao Nanzhao actually despised the Celestial Empire so much, and he was angry uncontrollably.
And Pei Min originally hated map cannons, and in later generations, he often saw some people who began to talk nonsense about maps because of individual cases, and he was even more affected.
Li Linfu is no different.
Speaking in detail, Li Linfu is also a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, and the great-grandson of Li Shuliang, the cousin of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, King of Changpingsu.
But he himself is a solipsist, and he has no concept of family and country at all, as long as he lives well, it has nothing to do with the fall of the Tang Dynasty.
Because of this, he is the only one who can see it from the perspective of a bystander.
Lookers-on see most of the game.
"What did you find? Come on! Pei Min knew Li Linfu's talent and urged him to elaborate.
Li Linfu said: "My subordinates feel that it is not yet time for Nanzhao to turn against me, and I will support them to contain Tubo, which will benefit Nanzhao itself and do no harm." It's a win-win situation, we can get what we want, and they can get a foothold in the south and become a country that can stand up to Tibet, not a poor little country that is bullied. There is a saying about unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but now the mill is not finished, and the bridge is only half gone. What reason does King Nanzhao have to unload the mill and dismantle the bridge at this time? ”
"Just for a woman? The subordinates thought that as a king, even if that white lady was one in ten thousand, he should not die for him. ”
Comparing his heart to his heart, Li Linfu felt that it was his own and his interests first, not to mention a woman, even his son and daughter could be sold.
After Li Linfu's reminder, Pei Min also calmed down and thought about it, and also felt a little abnormal.
It is not without examples in history that anger has become a red face, but there is a wrong, and there is a debtor.
It was Zhang Qiantuo who did the stupid thing, this is irrefutable.
Nanzhao also brutally killed him all over the house, the old and the young, and did not let any of them go.
Isn't that enough?
And to specifically provoke the Tang Dynasty?
Do you plan to let more people accompany Mrs. Bai Jie to the funeral?
Or is the birthday boy hanging himself looking for death?
Pei Min did not doubt that Nanzhao would rebel in the future, but firmly believed that they would definitely rebel.
It's the same as Hui and Qarluq.
When Pei Min chose to support them, he was ready to fight tigers in the future.
In Pei Min's view, as long as the Tang Dynasty can get enough benefits in the process of the tiger growing up, this risk is worth taking.
After all, as a tiger fighter, you can't be afraid of tigers.
The current Nanzhao is not a tiger, and the little tiger cubs are not counted.
At best, it is a dog, and this dog came to provoke the Tang Dynasty, which is also too exaggerated.
In history, the king of Nanzhao, Pi Luo Ge, was able to work together with the six edicts to develop the barren land of southern Xinjiang and lay the prototype of the future Dali Kingdom. It shouldn't be the same as Yelangguo.,Have inexplicable self-confidence.。
"Maybe there's really a problem?"
Pei Min's eyes lit up, and he said solemnly: "Do you think, why did Nanzhao choose to retreat after seizing Wangzhou?" ”
Zhang Jiuling immediately replied: "I know that I can't hold it." ”
"That's right!" Pei Min snapped his fingers and said: "This also shows that the king of Nanzhao, Pi Luoge, has this self-knowledge, knowing that they can capture a city of our dynasty by surprise for a while, but as long as I come back to my senses, the counterattack is not something they can resist at all." Therefore, they gave up directly, and at the same time, they did not plunder Wangzhou, which also shows that they do not intend to be the real enemy of us. If there is such a plan, there is no reason not to take the wealth in the city. On closer inspection, there may or may not be a real problem. ”
He walked back and forth and said: "In this Piluo Pavilion attack, the biggest casualties of our army are Xu Hu's father and son and a group of soldiers who dare to resist. Their revenge cannot be avenged, but it can be recorded in the account and liquidated after the autumn. Now is not the time to start a war with Nanzhao, as soon as the troops are mobilized here, you can think of it with your ass. In order to protect himself, Nanzhao would throw himself into the arms of Tibet. Once they form an alliance, it will be too bad for us. ”
Immediately, Pei Min repaired the book, wrote down his views and opinions, and ordered someone to pass it on to Li Longji urgently, hoping that Li Longji could suspend the offensive and investigate everything clearly.
But Pei Min's dismissal directly made Li Longji refuse.
And there was no hesitation, and there was even a little dissatisfaction.
"Jingyuan, this is too ignorant!"
Li Longji was so happy about his achievements, and now that "Asking for Thieves and Paying Documents" has come out, the Tang Dynasty is full of excitement, and they all hope that the mighty king can achieve a brilliant victory again.
Li Longji thought that he was ready to send an arrow.
And Pei Min's suspicion is certainly reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, if there is really a problem, it is not Pi Luoge's fault, but his own people making trouble.
The Tang general's rape and murder of Princess Nanzhao is already a shame in Li Longji's eyes, if there are really details, then how can the face of the Tang Dynasty exist?
Face is what Li Longji pays the most attention to.
Even Pei Min couldn't shake Li Longji's determination to fight.
Gao Lishi also read Pei Min's letter.
Originally, he never asked about the government and politics, but because of Li Longji's decentralization, he has now gradually become the Gaolishi in history.
A figure who can handle things autocraticly on behalf of Li Longji.
Gao Lishi said with a smile: "Guogong should consider the overall situation, after all, Arabia and Tibet have put a lot of pressure on him." Lian Nanzhao's containment of Tibet is a wonderful move. This wonderful move made the damned Zhang Qiantuo ruined, and it was understandable that Pei Guogong wanted to save the situation and cross the line a little. ”
Li Longji also nodded and said, "General Gao is right, Arabia and Tibet can't catch up with the easy ones. The Arabs attacked Tianzhu and easily mobilized an army of 100,000 to wipe out Tianzhu with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying. According to the news from Western businessmen, the number of troops that Tubo can mobilize is far more than these 100,000. It's just that to deal with Tianzhu, you don't need so much. ”
"And Tubo, an old rival. We don't know their strength, gritting our teeth, we can still raise 100,000 numbers. Jingyuan only has soldiers from the two towns of Longyou and Hexi, but it is indeed not easy to fight against the two countries. ”
"I asked him what he needed before, and he didn't mention it, obviously because he didn't want me to be embarrassed, but I was overkill."
He thought for a moment and said, "As for Jingyuan's strategy, it's actually very easy. I will personally repair the book to reassure him that his strategy, I will definitely let him achieve it. ”
When deciding to send troops to attack Nanzhao, Li Longji had already taken Pei Min's strategy into account.
In fact, the two can not conflict.
The reason for supporting Nanzhao to deal with Tubo is that Nanzhao is adjacent to the territory of Tubo, compared to the lofty mountains and mountains separated from Tubo in Shuzhong.
Nanzhao was significantly closer to the state capital of Tibet, and could more easily threaten their rear.
As long as they can capture Cangshan and Erhai in one fell swoop, swallow Nanzhao into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, or set up another obedient Nanzhao king, they will kill two birds with one stone.
At that time, the Jiannan Army will be responsible for the task of containing Tibet.
There is the loyal heir of the king of Longyou, and there is Jiannanzhang and Qiong, why bother to ask for the Southern Zhao?
Wouldn't this be more clever and effective than Pei Min's north-south flank?
Pei Min looked at Li Longji's reply, and a sentence from Zhuge Liang suddenly flashed in his mind:
It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.
