Section 624 Cunning and tough opponents, in
The Jin army was not the most powerful and terrible in the hearts of the Song people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info But the Liao army knows this best, which is an absolute fact.
It's just that Liao has been trying to cover up this as much as possible, so as not to lose people's hearts and minds.
Failure to do so will lead to regime instability; Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty will also despise the Liao State, and it is inevitable that they will want to take advantage of the fire to rob, and they will try to take advantage of the Liao State's inability to deal with the Jin Army, and decisively show their fangs and tear off pieces of flesh and blood from the Great Liao. In that case, the international situation will deteriorate even more, and the situation in Daliao will be even worse beyond control, and it will really not be far from the destruction of the country and the extinction of the nation.
But even if the Xia army and the Jin army were strong and good at fighting, it would be impossible to kill the Liao army with just Zhuangzi's manpower, no matter how many or little they came.
You must know that every time you come to sweep Zhaozhuang in the past, both regular infantry and cavalry advance on horseback.
Zhao Zhuang has horses, but how many can there be?
What are the advantages and chances of the Song villagers riding horses and the army that grew up on horseback?
If the farming nation does not have excellent war horse resources and can have a winning trick against the horseback nation, then the Great Song Dynasty will not have to be bullied by the Great Liao State for hundreds of years.
Even if the Liao army that came to clean up Zhaozhuang did not have the decisive heart and fighting spirit of the Zhaozhuang people to defend their homeland, they were afraid that they would not be able to fight to the death, but they could not rush out and run away with the advantage of war horses?
But the strange thing is that every time the army is completely wiped out, thousands of people can not even run away with people and horses.
The Song army, especially the Western army, was able to assemble a large number of real war horses, and it is said that the source of horses was originally obtained by Zhao Zhuang to resist Liao again and again and to be dedicated to the Song court.
All the rulers of the Liao State have been wondering: how can Zhao Zhuang, led by the Cangzhao family, win clean and complete victories in defense battles again and again? Could it be that my brave and warlike warriors have really fallen to the point where even the rural warriors can easily clean it up?
I tried to figure it out, but I never succeeded. This filled the hearts of the Liao rulers with shame and anger, as well as some fear.
People will always have a fear of the unknown and unknowable mysterious and terrible things.
Han Chang carried the fear and curiosity of the Great Liao ruler and led the army to destroy Zhaozhuang and find out.
Although he grew up in Liao, his thinking mode is still Han Chinese, not the kind of barbarian who thinks of gods and ghosts when he thinks of unknowable and terrible things. He knew the power hidden in the word technology pioneered by Cangzhao, and understood the technical ingenuity of the Han people. That is something that the barbarian nation can never imagine and compare.
Han Chang believed that the secret of Cangzhao's victory and strength would never be related to the spells and witchcraft of the gods and ghosts, but the weapons and techniques he had mastered.
Before he understood this, he would never have made the reckless and impulsive and arrogant mistake of the Liao army that had come before, and he would not have done it blindly just because the army was strong enough this time.
Being meticulous and cautious and ascertaining the situation is a major prerequisite for ensuring the success of this mission.
After he gave the order to rest far away, he took some generals and nobles who were willing to follow and take a look close to Xihe, rode a horse far away and carefully looked at the hometown of Cangzhao, which has been famous for too long and is widely known as the first village in the world, and was surprised to find that the gate of Zhaozhuang, which was coming to the catastrophe, was closed, and there was no one outside the city.
There was not a single figure on the not very high city wall, let alone the many village guards who were on tight alert with swords and guns.
If it weren't for the faint hearing of the voices of people and loud dogs barking in the castle, Han Chang and the minds who came to reconnoiter would have thought that Zhaozhuang was an empty city, and the people would have been scared away.
Behind the bunkers of the city walls.
Li Zhu and Liu Wen silently observed Han Changhe and the army that came this time from the shooting hole.
After observing for a long time, Li Zhu put down the binoculars, and said to Liu Wendao, who was expressionless: "This Han Chang has both the thoughtful, cautious and treacherous Han people who are diligent in thinking, and the courage and good fighting of barbarians, this kind of hardcore traitor who combines the advantages of the two races but is loyal to foreign countries and races, and does his best to serve the mother clan and is the best at dealing with the mother clan, which is the most disgusting and hateful. ”
When the spy leader Liu Wen heard this, his mind may not have been affected or fluctuated in the slightest, and his calm eyes did not flicker and change slightly, but there were some laugh lines on his face.
"What? Feeling threatened and trying to plot against him? ”
Li Zhu didn't deny it, nodded slightly, and said, "This person is not easy to deal with." While he is turning around and staring, attack his ignorance and unpreparedness, but defeat him and the barbarian leaders around him. ”
Liu Wen shook his head and said, "You can't kill it now." ”
"The old lady wants to drag this group of murderers here firmly and slowly consume the troops, so that this group of robbers will not go elsewhere to cause powerful scourges. The more cunning and capable Han Chang is, the more he can control this group of people to act according to his thoughts. The more Han Chang tries to destroy this place, the easier it will be for us to hold them back. “
"If you come up and plot against Han Chang, this gang of murderers knows our secrets and power, and the arson can't retaliate, and they are afraid of me Zhao Zhuang, and no one can restrain and control them, they will immediately give up here, and it is very likely that they will scatter and become a group of powerful gangsters, and the consequences will ......"
Li Zhu said: "But in this way, Zhao Zhuang is in danger." ”
"We don't have enough troops. The old lady was not allowed to report the situation to the owner of the village and the honest father-in-law. There are no reinforcements. I'm afraid that if one can't stand it or is made a loophole by Han Chang, a traitor, it will be bad. ”
"You and I are not afraid of death. With the sword in my hand, even if the city is broken, I can kill thousands of troops and horses and break out of the siege. But what about relatives and men, women and children in the city? ”
"The old lady must not make a mistake. Otherwise, even if you and I get out, no one will blame us, but what face will we have to live in the world? ”
"I, Li Zhu, don't want to die of shame."
Liu Wen nodded and said, "There are so many thieves this time, and they are elite soldiers and strong generals. Dangerous, indeed. I think it's worth the risk. ”
"How?"
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Liu Wen's mouth.
If you don't take any risks, who wants to try it with your head?
But the situation has come to this. Then you'll have to be bold. The biggest difference between the real Cangzhao and the people of the world is that they never lack the courage to take risks, and they are not afraid of strong enemies.
Liu Wen coughed lightly, reasoned his thoughts, and decided that it was better to be honest.
Li Zhu is a brother in life and death, not an outsider. Besides, Li Zhu's civil and military talents may not be able to see through this disaster.
He smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, uh-huh, hey, our Zhaozhuang, including Yingcang and the entire Cangbei This crisis, in the final analysis, was caused by the second son." ”
"Ahem, Gongyue, he's too anxious."
When Li Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded slightly.
Zhao Yue engages in politics, the layout is far-reaching, vast and vast, wonderful, no one can compare, the more important the matter, the more penetrating and accurate, the more difficult things that no one can solve, the more Zhao Yue can solve the perfect magic and even very easy, such as the Tokyo proverb case disaster that others seem to have no solution at all. Zhao Yue does have the ability of a god and a man, and no one disagrees.
However, the people who really knew Zhao Yue gradually realized that Zhao Yue was bent on completely ending the chaotic political situation in the Eastern world before the age of twenty, and then retired to concentrate on the only thing he really wanted to do in his heart. Zhao Yue really attaches importance to scientific research, and only scientific research is really interested in it.
Politics or something, I'm afraid that in Zhao Yue's heart, it's nothing.
After roughly sweeping the east, the rest of the things are left to others to do, and unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhao Yue is afraid that he will never intervene again.
The problem is that Zhao Yue is in a hurry, and his influence on the Cangzhao Empire is too great, and countless people in power in civil and military power are extremely superstitious about him, which leads to a series of chain reactions.
For example, the issue of development after the occupation of the peninsula, such as the issue of immigration.
These could have been done calmly.
If it takes long enough to come step by step, with the strong power of the Empire, there will be no danger, and there will be very little big/trouble.
But Zhao Yue is anxious to complete the immigration plan, eager to build a peninsula immigration base, so that he can rescue the people who are qualified to be citizens of the empire as soon as possible, so that these people can enjoy the happy life of the empire as soon as possible, and also accept practical new education and ideological transformation earlier, accelerate the new development of the empire, and rush to accelerate the process of the destruction of the Liao State and the humiliation and destruction of the Song Dynasty by the Jin Army, and by the way, let those who deserve to be punished and eliminated be destroyed in the war or accept a lesson that will be remembered for a lifetime. To reduce the artificial and difficult to solve the development obstacles of the citizens after the return of the empire to the mainland, so he single-handedly proposed and vigorously promoted the summer harvest plan of this crazy looting, so that the two strong armies in the north and south were busy clearing out the remnants of the natives in the newly occupied areas and settling the hundreds of thousands of immigrants or summer harvest and summer crops that frantically poured in, not to mention that the army could not spare enough troops to deal with the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and even the navy was also responsible for the main work of transferring and diverting immigrants, and it was too busy to spare its hands. This has led to the current dangerous situation in Zhaozhuang.
Li Zhu and Liu Wen both firmly believed that with Zhao Yue's wisdom, they would not have foreseen the threat of this disaster to Zhao Zhuang and even the entire northeastern region of the Great Song Dynasty under the control of Cangzhao, knowing that the refugees from southeast Liao would frantically loot the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom during the summer harvest season. But Zhao Yue still insisted on implementing the crazy summer harvest plan.
What made the two people in charge of guarding their hometown smile bitterly was that now, not only did the owner of the village, the eldest prince, and the shrewd and capable ministers support Zhao Yue, but even the old lady, who had always been steady, was silently but unswervingly actively cooperating with the little grandson's eagerness.
The two of them can imagine what it would be like to be overseas.
Perhaps the civil and military ministers and soldiers were busy at the same time as they fell into a frenzy of joy for the amazing results of the summer harvest plan, and at the moment they were in pain and happy, exhausted but full of energy for this glorious event that will surely go down in history, and only to be proud and excited to participate in it.
Zhao Yue's 'Zhao Sanjo' was widely spread in the pirate empire and became famous, and it invisibly became the norm and atmosphere of officialdom.
Zhao Yue's 'Yue stubbornness' is also famous.
It is difficult to change Zhao Yue's mind and determination. And he is always reasonable, and he can always persuade people to accept.
Zhao Yue is too bold, politically he always likes to make amazing people to fast-forward, always saying that the process is too slow and too unideal, so slow is a waste of time and life, not at all when engaging in scientific research, he is very patient and can slowly explore the truth and find results, this kind of unconventional political behavior has won the fanatical followers of the group rather than rational opposition.
Li Zhu Liu Wen, who lived in Zhaozhuang, didn't know that there was a strange man in World War II, Hitler, who was still in the traditional environment of the Great Song Dynasty, and was detached from the aggressive and belligerent atmosphere of the empire, although he was also deeply influenced by Zhao Yue, and also knew and trusted Zhao Yue's ability to be a god and man, but he often couldn't help but sigh that the people on the other side of the empire were crazy?
Now, even the old lady is actually crazy.
Of course, the two of them knew in their hearts that the old lady was not controlled by Zhao Yue, the demon son and grandson, with witchcraft or something.
Li Zhu and Liu Wen watched Zhao Yue grow up little by little, and they had never seen Zhao Yue really have any mythological spells, and firmly believed that Zhao Yue was a human. And with the old lady's iron will, I am afraid that if there is really a demon law, I will not want to control the old lady's will.
It was the reality that forced the old lady to gamble.
Objectively, Zhao Yue also had to vigorously promote this large-scale robbery plan, which was also a reason to convince everyone, and indirectly put his hometown and eldest brother in the danger of a large-scale invasion by Liaokou.
Although the Tokyo case was beautifully resolved by Zhao Yuelisuo and avoided the crisis of the family's immediate liquidation by the Song Emperor, since then, Cangzhao's situation in the Great Song Dynasty has begun to deteriorate sharply.
The emperor was secretly suspicious of guarding against Cangzhao, and had the intention to quickly suppress and control the use. Subsequently, some events caused Zhao Gonglian to have to show a tough side to the emperor and completely fell out of favor. From the emperor to all the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Great Song Dynasty, they tacitly suppressed the scourge of Cangzhao, and they became more and more competitive in the collective, and Cangzhao's time to stay in the Great Song Dynasty was short.
Zhao Gonglian was in danger of being disposed of by the emperor at any time, and it was impossible to stay calmly in the Great Song Dynasty as an official to facilitate the empire's profits, so he had to plan to evacuate with his hometown in the short term, and be responsible for going to the peninsula to sit in town, directly lead the northern army, and even possibly directly take over the king's throne and assume the leadership of the empire.
Zhao Yue's father has already done enough of the king's hard work of being so full of new things that often make people scratch their heads, if it weren't for the ideals of his children and grandchildren, he had to bear it first, and he did a good job, so he would have stopped doing it a long time ago.
The eldest son who was scheduled to take over the throne in the early days finally got out of the Great Song Dynasty and was able to take over, Zhao Yue's father was undoubtedly the happiest, and he couldn't wait to step down from the throne as soon as possible, so that he could work and live much easier from now on.
But Zhao Gonglian wanted to lead the northern army and even the whole country, which required a higher prestige, especially in the army.
The military is undoubtedly the most obedient leader who can lead a winning battle.
Zhao Gonglian wants to establish a stronger authority in the military as soon as he returns, and he must truly prove that he has excellent leadership strength.
In the past, it was mainly the Northern Army that defeated or resisted the Liao Army's repeated offenses and threats, which was the convenience of Zhao Gonglian's superior background, and he could not effectively explain his own ability.
Before leaving the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Gonglian needed to use his actual achievements to prove his leading ability to the proud generals of the heavy army in the north and south of the empire.
In other words, the crisis of independence against the Liao army brought by the summer harvest plan to the Cangbei Army under the command of Zhao Gonglian was also an opportunity for Zhao Gonglian to prove himself.
If you don't need the support of the Imperial Northern Army to stop the Liao Kou who want to frantically loot the four military states of Cangbei, it goes without saying how well Zhao Gonglian can govern the army and lead the troops, and the soldiers are naturally willing to believe and accept the leadership and command.
Zhao Yue undoubtedly saw this earlier, and quietly created this opportunity for the eldest brother to prove himself, and took out Hua Rong to help the eldest brother have more strength to deal with the challenge.
The old lady undoubtedly lived a life of no confusion, understood the important political significance of the eldest grandson's independent resistance to the enemy this time, and thought it through.
The old man was afraid that the Liao army, which could easily be killed from Cangzhou, would go around Cangbei and destroy Changsun's anti-enemy layout in Cangbei from the inside, resulting in Changsun's fiasco.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to put her own safety at risk, but also dragged the Liao army in Zhaozhuang, and was not allowed to inform the eldest grandson of the danger here, so as not to make the eldest grandson anxious and distracted from taking care of one or the other.
