Chapter 244: The Prime Minister's Decision
Wanyan Zhangshou returned to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion and recounted the events in the palace (read the full text of the Nine Changes of the Breaking Heaven). Wan Yan Yusheng said a little sourly, "Father seems to really hurt Yan Yudu, only fined for half a year!" The border pass of the Wanggu Department was operated like an iron bucket by Tart Li, and even if the old general wanted to investigate, there would be no result (read the full text of the supreme recitation). Maybe it's just a formality, and the matter will definitely not be resolved. ”
Zhang Shou smiled bitterly, "You just 'had an accident', and the Holy Lord is heartbroken, and it is possible to be soft-hearted for a while." It's just that the saint was also a decisive person in his early years, but in the matter of succession, people can't understand it! ”
Yusheng thought about it, and then sighed, "Wang Gubu's border pass to defend Mongolia in the north is too important. Although the Mongol Tatars fought each other, they also grew stronger. Daikin has been reducing its size over the years, and it has been reduced by some small tribes. The Kereh tribe, the Naiman tribe, the Tatar tribe, and the Hongjira tribe, these large tribes all pay tribute every year, eliminating the pain of 'reducing Ding', and the tribe's strength is getting stronger and stronger. In case those ambitious tribes invade the south, it will be a big trouble for the Wanggu tribe to lose the border pass! Obviously, the father also had to take care of this. ”
"Yes, if you rashly adjust those henchmen and generals at the border gates, God knows what will happen. But in the current situation of your father, there is no time to slowly disintegrate Yan Yudu's military strength. When the break continues! Suffer from it! In case the Holy Driver returns to heaven, I am afraid that civil strife is inevitable! Zhang Shou also sighed and shook his head.
Song Zheng tapped the back of the chair a few times, and then thought of the words that Yan Yuhui sent back, "The eyes are like the sun, and there is no shade under the sun." "From the moment the old emperor finished supporting Yan Jing, Song Zheng felt as if he had a big plan. Those slightly ridiculous moves seem to be all chess played by the old emperor.
Around the major event of passing, the gamblers are multi-sided, but before the sword and the soldiers meet, everyone wants to win as much as possible without damaging the chess pieces. For such a puzzle involving many parties, the old emperor, as the superior, seems to be looking for a way to keep Dajin unscathed and successfully handed over.
Song Zheng believes that the best successor of the old emperor is still Wanyan Yusheng. The most obvious evidence is that he already knew that the "Wanyan Yusheng" in Xiongzhou was fake, but he didn't say anything. Instead, according to his own plan, he continued to direct a scene in which Wan Yan Jing and Wan Yan Yu were both opposed. Perhaps, the plan of "fake idiocy is not crazy" that he said invisibly cooperated with the old emperor's plan. The chess game that originally consisted of Wanyan Yudu, Wanyan Yusheng and Wanyan Jing was turned into two, which made the situation clearer.
Thinking along this line of thought, after appointing Zhang Shou as Wan Yan Jing's teacher, Wan Yan Jing's strength increased greatly (read the full text of the detective). If Wan Yan Jing himself really has no intention of taking the throne, then the strength he has now is actually Wan Yan Yusheng's. Unlike the original, this powerful group is much more powerful than simply the Lord and the Lord. The most prominent example is that even Yan Zhanwang, who was originally from the main battle faction, threw himself into Wan Yan Jing's door.
If the old emperor is thinking about Wan Yan Yusheng, then he must solve Wan Yan Yudu. In order to solve Yan Yudu, it is necessary to consider dealing with the 200,000 golden iron horsemen at the border pass of Wang Gubu. How? The old general is complete and agrees with this northward trip, I am afraid it is not as simple as just going through the motions.
Song Zheng secretly said that if his guess was true, the old emperor should have begun to gradually weaken the power of Yan Yudu from both military and political aspects. However, what Song Zheng is worried about is that although he is complete and high-year, can he successfully solve the iron-barreled Wang Gubu border pass? If this matter is not done well, maybe it will be finished, and even the old bones will be thrown at the border.
Seeing that Song Zheng kept tapping the back of the chair lightly, looking pensive, Yan Yusheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiaolang, what do you think!" Speak up and listen! ”
The corners of Song Zheng's mouth curled, "I'm thinking, after General Yan arrives at the border pass, how will he finish cleaning up those henchmen of Yan Yudu!" ”
"Tidy up?" Wan Yan Yusheng was taken aback, "Does Xiao Lang think that the old general is here to deal with Yan Yudu's henchmen?" ”
Song Zheng nodded, "Now the old general is estimated to be busy, and it is estimated that many people will go to talk about it." There are those who listen to the news, there are those who plead for Yan Yudu, and there must be those who want to send the 'bow and arrow' after Yan Yudu is killed. ”
"What Xiao Lang said makes sense, but ......," Zhang Shou muttered, "Although I don't understand military affairs, I also know that even if Wan Yanyu is arrested and imprisoned, or even killed, it will not be easy to clean up those fierce generals under him." Another possibility is that the old general may just walk around lightly, and not really dig up Yan Yudu's old bottom. ”
Song Zheng waved his hand and said, "It is impossible for the old general to just go to the border pass to enjoy the scenery, especially at this moment, how important is the position of Wu Weishuai, the old general actually gave up the central capital and went to the north (Otherworldly Sword Shrine)." As for how he dealt with Yan Yudu's henchmen, the old general should have his own plan, but we don't know. Maybe Lord Zuo Xiang can go and find out the tone of the old general. ”
Zhang Shou nodded, "The old general will not leave until the day after tomorrow, and in addition to the fifty Praetorian Guards, there are also five hundred Martial Guards led by You Tai. With this amount of troops, it is impossible to clean up the border pass of the Wanggu Department. ”
"Perhaps, we can help the old general." Song Zheng smiled slightly.
"Helping the old general?" Zhang Shou and Wan Yan Yusheng were stunned.
"Brother Yan remembers, those Mongolian assassins who were intercepted by General Tie Damu?"
Wanyan Yusheng suddenly realized, "What does Xiaolang mean is that the Mongolian Kereh Department will send troops to contain the border pass of the Wanggu Department?" ”
Zhang Shou obviously didn't know such a paragraph, and hurriedly asked. Wanyan Yusheng recounted the incident, and continued, "Those Assassins were sent by King Khan of the Kereh tribe, and before I released them, I wrote a letter with my own hand, in which I described the intention of friendship. I also promised the Kreh that once I ascended the throne, I would remove the tribute from the Kreh tribe and send troops to help him deal with the Tatars and other enemy tribes. In order to gain the trust of the Ministry of Martyr, I used a private seal on the letter. ”
Zhang Shou gasped. You must know that the entire Dajin does not want to see all the Tatars on the grassland, Wanyan Yusheng actually wrote a letter to communicate with the Kereh Ministry, if this news leaks out, Wanyan Yusheng will be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shou suddenly remembered that Song Zheng had said, "The north and the south are one, the Hu and Han families, and the people of heaven and earth are born, what are the advantages and disadvantages." It seems that the "Hu Han family" here refers not only to the Jurchens and Han people, but also to the Dangxiang people and the Mongolian Tatars. Wanyan Yusheng must have been influenced by this statement, coupled with the pressure of competing for the throne, so he personally wrote a letter to Wang Khan of the Kereh Department regardless of the danger.
Zhang Shou pondered for a while and said, "This move of the Sixth Highness is a bit risky. I have also heard of Wang Khan, who has always had great ambitions and wanted to dominate the steppe, but his talents were limited, plus the Naiban tribe and the Hongjira tribe, etc., were among the best tribes, and Wang Khan had been unable to realize his dream for many years (Song of the Fallen Heaven). Now that he is getting old and the tribe is also on the defensive, will he agree to send troops? ”
"Who said they sent troops?" Song Zheng said with a smile. He used teacups, tea lids, and saucers to set them on the table, and then said, "The Kereh Department is currently in the east-north direction of the Wangu Department, and Wang Khan's Golden Horde is about 1,200 miles away from the border pass of the Dajin Wanggu Department, and most of the troops of the Kereh Department are also concentrated in the Golden Horde. What we need him to do is to move his golden horde to the Wangu tribe for eight hundred miles, and settle down three or four hundred miles away from the Wangu tribe. The grassland was vast and flat, and the Mongol cavalry could cross the distance of three or four hundred miles in one day and one night, which was enough to faintly threaten the border pass of the Wanggu Division. ”
Wanyan Yusheng also understood, and immediately said, "There is a threat from the Keree Department there, and those henchmen of Wanyan Yudu must be very nervous." After the veteran general arrives at the border pass by order, he can use the excuse of the current enemy to control the military power of the border pass and adjust the border generals. ”
Zhang Shou was a little worried, "Wan Yanyu is notoriously fierce, not only eliminated many small tribes, but also took advantage of Dajin's national prestige to often blackmail the Kelie Ministry, and the Kelie Ministry also had a lot of resentment against him. I just don't know if Wang Khan will take advantage of this to invade my Dajin? ”
"This left minister can rest assured that the Kereh tribe has enmity with the Tatar tribe and the Nabaran tribe, and if he invades the border pass, other tribes will raise troops to copy his old base." Wan Yan Yusheng said very firmly, "Zuo Xiang also said just now that Wang Khan is now old, and the tribe is also defending. He sent someone to assassinate me, just to get Dajin to move south. Now that I have not informed my father of his crimes, I have already reduced his great trouble. Moreover, I have promised him that I will be exempted from the tribute of the Kereb tribe when I ascend the throne. All he had to do now was move the Golden Horde. The Tatars live in the grass, and these eight hundred miles should be nothing to Wang Khan! ”
Although Wanyan Yusheng does not lead troops, he is a good hand at playing politics. Listening to his words, Wanyan Zhangshou couldn't help nodding.
"The question now is, who will be sent to contact Wang Khan?" Wanyan Yusheng was a little distressed, but his eyes kept looking at Song Zheng, obviously wanting to send him.
Song Zheng was taken aback, he didn't want to go to that place in Mongolia, if things didn't work out, those brutes might slaughter themselves.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Shou spoke, "If Xiaolang goes, of course it would be better (the latest chapter of the Super Heavenly Book System)." It's just that Xiaolang is too young, and I'm afraid he can't win the trust of Wang Khan. Besides, the situation in the capital is tense, and Xiaolang will be indispensable for advice in the future. ”
Wan Yan Yusheng nodded dejectedly, "In addition to Xiaolang, Mr. Zhang in Xiongzhou is also an excellent candidate, but now that he has to cooperate with the fake prince to act, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out!" ”
Zhang Shou pondered for a while and said, "How about letting the lantern go?" Chuanlan is my confidant, and I also know a lot about the affairs of the Sixth Highness! ”
Wan Yan Yusheng was overjoyed and said, "Passing the lamp is safe, and his kung fu is also good, he is naturally very good!" I'll write right away! ”
Say do it, do it, the study room in the house is complete, and Yan Yusheng is also quick to think, after the tea, a letter is written. In the letter, he first greeted Wang Khan, and then said that he was "sober", and said, "Now the weather in the north is getting colder, and three hundred miles north of Wanggubu, the water and grass are abundant." "And ask the king Khan to lead most of the people to move south and come here to graze!
After the letter was written, Yan Yusheng took out his private seal from his arms and printed it underneath the seal. He was about to seal the credit flame, but Song Zheng said, "Only the letter of His Highness is a person, I'm afraid it is difficult to say that this person is moved!" If the left minister also wrote a letter in his hand, then Wang Khan would be sure of it. In addition, Nawang Khan likes jade. If you can use a precious jade as a matchmaker, it must be much easier to talk about the lantern! ”
After that, Song Zheng looked at Yan Zhangshou.
Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "What Xiaolang said is very good!" Then he also wrote a letter of greeting, signed with a private seal underneath.
Song Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although Zhang Shou was on the side of Wanyan Yusheng, but with this letter of "collaborating with the enemy", he would definitely go to the end with Wanyan Yusheng.
Wanyan Zhangshou sealed the two letters, and suddenly said, "Wen Xiaolang has brought many Great Qi masters, why don't you divide one person and go with the lantern, then it will be foolproof!" ”
