The success of the sneak attack on Chang'an was calculated by the strategists
The Khitan troops outside the city secretly gathered outside Chang'an, also because of this situation, taking advantage of this period of time when the Song people did not react, the Khitan soldiers led by Xiao Xiaomu took the opportunity to attack Chang'an, but because of the inattention of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao army is now secretly assembled in Chang'an, and a war is about to start.
When the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were letting themselves be officials, the Khitan soldiers outside the city still launched a fierce attack, because there were not many people stationed at the south gate of Chang'an City, and the Khitan cavalry had smashed the city gate with iron horses, and the Khitan soldiers at the north gate also used wooden carts to crash into the city gate, which had been exposed, and the north gate of Chang'an City was also subjected to a fire-breathing bomb, which exploded the city gate, and the fire-breathing bomb was very powerful, and it rushed open the gate at once, and now the entire Chang'an City has been completely lost, and Chang'an has been broken.
After the fall of Chang'an, the Liao army quickly occupied the city gate, the Liao army opened the gate to welcome Xiao Xiaomu into the city, Ma Huiwen and the two rode horses towards the city of Chang'an, on the way the two laughed and then said: "This time our Da Liao finally occupied Chang'an, it seems that the Central Plains is not unbreakable, and I don't know what the Song people heard about our entry into the city. ”
The soldiers in the city also said to him Ma Huiwen and Xiao Xiaomu: "General, the army in the city has no resistance and is all powerless, after we enter the city, they have no ability to resist at all, they have now decided to take refuge in us, it seems that they have seen the treachery of the Song Dynasty, so they automatically took refuge in our Great Liao State, and now our army has captured 40,000 horses." ”
Ma Huiwen also smiled and said to Xiao Xiaomu: "It seems that the people of the Song Dynasty have already put people in this place, it is estimated that their families have been captured by us, and it is impossible to give us Da Liao as an enemy, now we just need to surround the Song Dynasty people in the mansion, Chang'an City is our Da Liao's territory, general, your hand mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind, and it is really like a god with soldiers, I really admire it!" It seems that the final victor belongs to our Great Liao Kingdom. ”
Xiao Xiaomu secretly scolded in his heart that this special thing is obviously your own idea, you are still talking about my own idea, I am an ordinary person, but I am not as good as you, and my scheming is too heavy, I am afraid that I am not as scheming and strategic as you! You sinister and cunning character, I'm embarrassed to say that it was my idea here! Ay! In order to stabilize people's hearts, I have to admit that these things are my idea, no way I want to unify the world, first of all, I have to admit that these things are done by myself, some things you can admit, but there are some things you can never admit, if you admit that it is a great benefit for me to unify the world after the Great Liao, since ancient times, the world has been bustling for profit, and it depends on what I Da Liao has done this time is also quite a good practice.
Xiao Xiaomu also smiled and said to Ma Huiwen: "What do you mean by that? Is it my fault that I am for my country, but you are not wrong, this idea was indeed me, because if not, I don't know how many soldiers I have to sacrifice because of this, and I should do everything for my own country? But I also want to remind you Ma Junshi, you must not forget to tell the emperor about this incident, because Chang'an is not easy for us, if we forget to tell the emperor, I estimate that you and I will become unhappy to die, don't blame me for not reminding you then, I am also thinking about you, you have to think about it carefully. ”
Xiao Xiaomu's words not only made Ma Huiwen feel a lot of scheming, but also made him feel very shameless, in fact, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu also has a strong suspicion of readers, in his opinion, readers are very active, if a character is too scheming for the country, what do they say for themselves? It's scary, scary.
The strategists are too scheming to make people afraid, but although Xiao Xiaomu is not Yelu Longxu's henchman, he is under the heavy responsibility of the emperor, he is a military general himself, and it is not easy to control the active minds of the scribes and ministers, and he does this for the sake of Da Liao. The strategist is too scheming to control as the emperor, this Ma Huiwen was sent by the emperor, for the emperor Yelu Longxu, if his subordinates are too scheming and too heavy, he will not dare to control it. It's better to get him to Xiao Xiaomu, as the emperor's subordinates are too smart to control, Xiao Xiaomu only needs to hint at him, and he will understand how he should control him.
From ancient times to the present, Tang Taizong attaches great importance to the reuse of talents.
Tang Taizong is Li Shimin, Taizong is the temple number after his death, and his nickname is "Emperor Wen", but the most called by later generations is "Tang Taizong", sometimes also called "Emperor Wen". The meaning of "Shimin" is "to help the world and the people". From his birth in January 599 (December of the 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui) to his death in 649 (the twenty-third year of Zhenguan), Tang Taizong was only 50 years old. Corporal Li Shimin, in recognition of Wei Zheng's integrity, appointed him as a counselor (an official responsible for giving advice to the imperial court). One year, Tang Taizong sent people to recruit soldiers. One minister suggested that men under the age of eighteen could also be recruited if they were tall. Tang Taizong agreed. But the edict was withheld by Wei Zheng and not issued. Tang Taizong urged him several times, but Wei Zheng still didn't hold it. Tang Taizong was furious. Wei Zheng said unhurriedly: "I heard that if you dry the lake and catch fish, you can get fish, but by next year there will be no fish to catch in the lake; If you burn the woods and catch wild beasts, you will also catch wild beasts, but by next year there will be no beasts to catch. If all the able-bodied men under the age of eighteen were recruited into the army, where would they be recruited in the future? Who will bear the taxes and miscellaneous labor of the state? After a long time, Tang Taizong said: "My fault is very big! ”。 So, a new invitation was issued, exempting men under the age of eighteen. On another occasion, when Tang Taizong traveled from Chang'an to Luoyang, he rested at Zhaoren Palace (now Shou'an County, Henan Province) on the way, and lost his temper because of his inconsiderate meal arrangements. Wei Zheng criticized Hou Taizong in person, saying: "Emperor Yang of Sui was opposed by the people and perished because he often blamed the people for not offering food, or because he thought that the food offered was not exquisite. Your Majesty should learn from this and be conscientious and cautious. If you can be satisfied, your majesty should be satisfied with such food today, and if you are insatiable, even if the food is ten thousand times better, you will not be satisfied. Tang Taizong was not shocked when he heard this, and said: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have heard such pertinent words." "Wei Zheng is upright, talented, and a loyal minister, Li Shimin does not remember past grudges, and appoints him as a counselor. Wei Zheng continued to put forward good suggestions to Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin admired him very much, often invited Wei Zheng into the room, asked about the gains and losses, Wei Zheng was more and more reused, and was successively promoted by Li Shimin to the secretary and supervisor, the servant, the prime minister, and named him the Duke of Wei. Li Shimin once said: "I am like an ore in the mountains, the ore is a waste in the deep mountains, but after the training of the craftsman, it becomes a treasure." Wei Zheng is my craftsman! After Wei Zheng's death, Li Shimin said that a mirror made of copper could reflect whether the clothes and hats were upright; Using the mirror of ancient history, we can refer to the rise and fall of politics; Using people as a mirror can know your achievements and mistakes. I often keep these three mirrors, and now that Wei Zheng has passed away, I am missing one.
This is also why Xiao Xiaomu likes to tease this person with words when he has nothing to do, and this is also the main reason why the emperor wants to use him to suppress this person. Now that Chang'an has fallen, and now he is also properly beating his own, what will happen next? The show is far from over, but is the game yet to come?
