Jin Changtai sighed: "The previous dynasties coerced the people to achieve things, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Jiao Huangchao, which time was not a situation where the people were thousands of miles away, and the people did not exist. The Khitan has been established for 200 years, known as 700,000 iron horsemen, and the Jurchens are aggressive and aggressive. There are hundreds of thousands of Hu people registered in Tokyo Province, and there are not many barbarians in the mountains and dense forests, which is the foundation of the Khitan people. The two tigers in Liaodong competed, and the Han army was in the middle of the group of Hu, and the strength and weakness were very easy, even if the entire Han people in Liaodong were engulfed, it was difficult to preserve. On the contrary, the greater the momentum, the more tragic the retaliation of the two tribes will be. ”

Before he could speak, Zhao Xingde closed the scroll in his hand and said in a low voice: "Beware of the wall with ears, let's talk in a different place." Kim Chang-tae's face changed slightly and nodded, and the two came to the side of the cliff of the archery range, where the four sides were empty at a glance, but the words fell on the ears of those who were interested.

The sergeants who practiced archery and martial arts in the distance all knew that Jin Sima and Captain Zhao had a very good personal relationship, and when they saw the two of them talking here, some raised their swords in their hands to greet them, and Jin Changtai reluctantly smiled and raised his hand in response. Although the cliff and the arrow range are not far away, the mountain wind is howling, as if thousands of troops and horses are fighting together, and like thousands of ghosts crying together, the voices on both sides cannot be heard clearly.

Zhao Xingde looked at the reckless mountains under the cliff, was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "It is located in a corner of the world, Yuguan is its gateway, Xianbei Mountain and Taibai Mountain are its city walls, and the East China Sea is its trench, and the inside is extremely open and deep. Goguryeo, Khitan, and Jurchen established their kingdoms here, with strong horses and soldiers, and there is no shortage of blades, grain and grass. Even with the prosperity of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was extremely difficult for the Central Plains army to drive straight in. The Hu people retreated and hibernated from the white mountains and black waters to recuperate, and Xing was strong and marched south to invade the Central Plains again. Although the Sui and Tang dynasties have been conquering endlessly, they have not been able to eradicate this great disaster. ”

"Therefore, although the Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom is known as rich, this Tokyo Road is the real place of the belly, just like the Guanzhong of our dynasty. Since the pre-Han Dynasty, successive dynasties have been reclaimed, and in modern times, the Liao State has been short of grain in Beijing, Nanjing and other places, and it is also provided by Tokyo Road. The Liao army was not without setbacks in the south, and even though it lost the two provinces of Xijing and Nanjing, as long as the Shangjing and Tokyo roads were unharmed, they could quickly recover their vitality. ”

"If the Han army can become a momentum, wander between the Khitan and the Jurchen, unite the weak and resist the strong, and prolong the process of the life-and-death struggle between the Khitan and the Jurchen, the two tiger and wolf clans, after a few years of fierce fighting, even if it is defeated by the Khitan and the Jurchen, the heartland of Tokyo Dao will be smashed. The strong men are exhausted, the people are not one of them, the Tokyo Road is withered and broken, whether it is the Khitan and the Jurchen state, it is the loss of depth and retreat, as long as the south fights a few more victories, and annihilate its elite soldiers, you can go straight to the Yellow Dragon and uproot the border troubles of the Central Plains for hundreds of years. ”

The cold wind was howling, and after listening carefully to Zhao Xingde's explanation, Jin Changtai was silent for a long time before he sighed: "I don't disagree with the straight plan. It's just that after the three-way scuffle, thousands of miles in Liaodong must be bloodied and pestled into red ground, the houses will be destroyed, the city will be ruined, and the people will not survive. The Khitan people are like flying, the Jurchens are strong and vicious, and the Khitan court has forbidden the Han children to practice martial arts for decades, and the ordinary people of Liaodong do not practice military revolution, even if they are hastily coerced into battle, they can only be the opponent of the army of tigers and wolves, but they just fill the ravines and block the blade. In the end, eight or nine times out of ten it is thousands of miles of red land, and hundreds of years of life and gathering are gone. "The duty of the marching department is to prepare various military plans and to dispatch the various military offices to realize them. Therefore, the marching Sima Jin Changtai was particularly sensitive to the consequences of the strategy of coercing the people, and Wang Hengzhi and others, even if they expected such tragic consequences, they may not feel as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Zhao Xingde shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for that, what could thousands of Han troops do alone?" Only the Han army is holding hundreds of thousands of Han people, or it is still the weakest fish and meat in Liaodong, but with us, plus the Xia State behind us, and the continuous support of the Han people in the Central Plains? His face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "Even if one fails in the end, the blood of the Jurchens and Khitans will be drained together." If not......" Zhao Xingde paused and said in an accentuated tone, "These more than a million people have become the help of the enemy in the blink of an eye. Whether it was incorporated into the Khitan tribe by Yelu Dashi, or incorporated into Meng'an Mouke by the Jurchens, working and weaving for foreign races, transporting heavy grain and grass, and even aiding and abusing people, and acting for tigers, more innocent people had to shed ten times and a hundred times more blood. If you miss the opportunity, you will make a big mistake and regret it in the future. ”

Hearing Zhao Xingde's words, Jin Changtai nodded, shook his head again, and sighed. Zhao Xingde listened to the depression in his heart, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "This is just the worst plan, the situation may not evolve to such a bad point." ”

Jin Changtai nodded and said: "Okay, everyone fights, no matter how heroic he is, he will dry up the blood, and the fertile land here is thousands of miles of plastered land." With your strategy, coupled with our artillery, ordnance, grain and grass, even if they are defeated by the Khitan and Jurchen, they will be greatly damaged. His depression was relieved a little, and his pride was suddenly born, and this time he invited himself to conquer Liaodong, and he originally had a heart to die on the battlefield. No matter what the victory or defeat is, it is enough to shake the luck of the world, and it is not in vain to throw this blood.

Zhao Xingde felt the change in his mood, patted Jin Changtai's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Now there is a huge disparity between the strength and weakness of the enemy and me, even if we fight together, it is not easy." First find Wang Tongdeng and several of their centurions, and it is not a trivial matter to go down the mountain to coerce the people, and we must have a plan ourselves. ”

Looking at Jin Changtai's back, Zhao Xingde's own heart is also mixed, in all fairness, he does not want to involve more than a million Liaodong Han people in the war, but it is a pity that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and the humiliation of the Central Plains for hundreds of years after the shame of Jingkang in his memory cannot be easily relieved. Completely destroyed the opportunity of this so-called Longxing Land, and he must not let it go.

Under the bright sun, one hundred and ten Chengying sergeants and Han army athletes were making a noise, everyone knew that they would be going to do a big job soon, and everyone had smiles and hope on their faces. "They are all good men, and in a few years, I don't know how many people will be left?" Zhao Xingde couldn't help but think, "Chen Shaoyang has always taken the world as his own responsibility, if he stood in my position, what choice would he make?" ”

During the Great Song Dynasty National Funeral, the market in Hangzhou was also much deserted, and many Qing people lost their livelihoods and cheapened those who were willing to pick. In the Accord of Linjiang Tower, Chen Dong looked happy. His mentor Shao Wu wrote a letter suggesting that the new emperor valued him very much, and repeatedly mentioned Chen Dongzhongzhi in the middle of the song, and it seemed that he would soon be recruited and appointed.

"There was no intention in the mourning hall of Master Yang for a while, but there were only a few words, and the official family remembered it in their hearts." Chen Dong smiled and picked up a cup of tea, but held it in the air, and didn't bring it to his mouth for a long time, "Do you want to be a little reserved, Wang Wengong didn't go out of the mountain as soon as he conquered it?" Chen Dong took a sip of the tea, but the flame in his heart burned even more, "The world is swaying, it is the time for the big husband to act, why twist and pinch!" ”

Just when his mind was agitated, the door of the pavilion was suddenly pushed open, and Zhao Bo, the shopkeeper of Yajiaoxing, came in and said: "Chen Gongzi forgives his sins, and the villain delayed Zhao Gongzi's purchase of puffer fish, so it is late." ”

Chen Dong waved his hand, disagreed, and asked, "Is there any news of virtue again?" This Zhao Bo is Zhao Xingde's cousin, he is not very old, but he is doing things safely, when Li Yong wanted Xingde to find a trustworthy person, Zhao Xingde recommended him.

Zhao Bo's face was happy, he took out a letter from his arms, and said with a smile: "Exactly, Zhao Gongzi also brought you a letter." Every time Zhao Xingde wrote a letter to Chen Dong, he would write one to Zhao Bo at the same time, explaining that no matter how strange the things he did, Zhao Bo always tried his best to do it well. For example, this time, Zhao Xingde asked him to find fifty pairs of puffer fish, wait for someone to connect with him, and then take a sea boat to send them to Zhenhai Mansion in Liaoguo. Zhao Bo immediately did not hesitate to arrange for the fisherman to catch the pufferfish, and then came to meet Chen Dong.

"What is Yuan Zhi looking for puffer fish to do, is it just to satisfy his appetite, or to talk about homesickness?" Chen Dong pressed the doubts in his heart, did not ask more, opened the letter in his hand, Zhao Xingde mentioned that he asked Chen Dong to help him arrange the printing of two booklets, one is about the Khitan Han righteous teacher rebelling against Hulu, and the other is about the special food list of Liaodong. The letter was apparently written during a travels, and the notes were somewhat haphazard and vague.

Chen Dong couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "Does Zhao Yuanzhi really plan to retire to the mountains and forests, and actually put his mind on the food list?" Although the first emperor died, but Zhao Yuanzhi colluded with the Ming Sect to conspire against the case has not been rehabilitated, this case is the imperial case of the first emperor, I am afraid that the new emperor is not willing to change easily, he sighed secretly, "Zhongliang was wronged, Yuan Zhi is ten times better than me in a big body, but he can't be used by the country, so he has the ambition of secluding the mountains and forests, which is understandable, but it's a pity." It is not difficult for a minister to become a virtuous man without jealousy, and if I have to do things in the future, I will definitely recommend him to the officials. Ming Huan died, Yuan went straight to the country, this was all the traitorous ministers, the teacher said that the official family has never liked Cai Jing and other thieves to be domineering, and the loss of power was degraded in a few months, but unfortunately I couldn't see the fate of the old thief with my own eyes. ”

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the earlier Qingliu old party suddenly became arrogant, Cai Jing not only kept silent in the court, watched the play coldly, and handed over the beggar bones after the funeral ceremony of the first emperor. As expected, the new emperor Zhao Ke didn't even save face, and immediately allowed it. At this time, even the most sluggish court official could discern the direction of the wind in the court.

"Even King Yan Zhao knows how to buy horse bones for thousands of catties, and the saint actually doesn't sympathize with Prime Minister Cai's work for state affairs, and he doesn't even have the least retention, it's just too chilling." Yin Lin of Kaifeng Mansion said with a sad face, he is considered to be the Cai Party in the eyes of everyone, even if he has the heart to change the court, it is impossible. Cai Jingquan has been in the government and the opposition for decades, and at this time, officials like Lin Beat are in constant fear every day.
