Chapter 23 Recall

"Mr. Shi, you are not in Liangzhou, why did you run in front of the two armies?" Zhao Kuangyin was extremely surprised by Shi Xubai who came from afar. Eighty-one? Middle? Literature Network ? Zhao Kuangyin took the elite of Hexi to the land of Yanyun to fight with the Khitans, and left Shi Xubai alone in Hexi, the intention is very obvious, that is, he wants to rely on Shi Xubai's ingenuity to handle the relevant affairs of Hexi and firmly control Hexi in his own hands.

"The general is fighting alone in Yanyun, don't you know that the situation in the world has changed greatly?" Shi Xubai was unceremoniously, sat beside Zhao Kuangyin after walking in, and spoke.

"Has the situation changed? Mr. Shi, where do you start? Zhao Kuangyin said in astonishment. He confronted the Khitans in the land of Yanyun, and he was also very concerned about the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion, after all, the emperor Guo Rong was seriously injured and was said to be in danger, once Guo Rong died of illness, then where would the situation in the Great Zhou go, he could not help but pay attention. However, he could only stare dryly, but he couldn't make a move. In Bianjing City, even if Guo Rong is critically ill, there is still someone who makes Zhao Kuangyin very scrupulous, and that is Wang Pu. Ten years of getting along, so that Zhao Kuangyin very clear Wang Pu's power, in the past ten years, Wang Pu has done everything he can to create an invincible white-clothed army, but also pushed Guo Rong step by step to the emperor's position. Of course, Guo Rong can be the emperor and cannot do without Guo Wei, but if there is no Wang Pu to give advice, Guo Rong cannot have great prestige between the government and the opposition, so that Zhao Kuangyin feels that it is not very convenient to command the army, and the soldiers in the army, especially the Hebei Army and the Hedong Army, have great respect for Guo Rong.

Of course, in the past two years, Wang Pu's strategy no longer seems to be as miraculous as before, but this is also related to the opponent. When I watched coldly, I felt that Ma Chu in the south was weak, and I felt that the Khitans were fierce, but they couldn't bear it for a long time. However, when he really fought with the Khitans, the Khitans did not lack stamina. And Ma Chu is even more united, he has long been building a big game of chess, and he must be in the fall, and he really feels that the general trend has gone. Shi Xubai's words aggravated Zhao Kuangyin's doubts.

"General, when I set off, I learned about the activities of the Chu army in Shu, and I expected that when the Chu army attacked my Guanzhong, I am afraid that it would destroy Shu by the way. Once the Shu State is pacified, the Guanzhong granary that we have planned for a long time will once again appear in front of the Chu State, and at that time, the granary that was built after exhausting the treasury will be destroyed by the Chu army again. At what point has it really reached, how can the world be maintained? Shi Xubai said. Obviously, although Chu Jun is calculating, it is a pity that he can't hide it from the discerning people.

"Are you serious?" Zhao Kuangyin stood up "open-mindedly". He knew all too well how important it was. Once Guanzhong is unstable, it is not only a matter of food supply, but the views of the entire imperial court and the people of the whole world on the Great Zhou will be completely changed with the appearance of the Chu army on the land of Guanzhong. Not to mention that Guanzhong was captured by the Chu army, as long as the fertile land that Guanzhong had just reclaimed was destroyed by the Chu army, the world would completely lose confidence in my Great Zhou.

"General, such a big thing, how dare Shi talk nonsense." Shi Xubai said with some displeasure. However, he also understood psychologically that Zhao Kuangyin asked this not because he didn't believe in himself, but because this matter was indeed very important, which made him subconsciously unwilling to believe it.

"This... How would that be? Zhao Kuangyin sat down dejectedly, and a trace of helplessness surfaced in his heart. Since Guanzhong is to be built, how can Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin, and Wang Pu not know the importance of Shudi? However, what do they know, the Central Plains has been turbulent for many years, the imperial treasury is useless, and often eats grain, plus the Chu State is eyeing the south, especially in the past three years, the Chu State has repeatedly attacked on the border, look at last year, the Chu State was so badly defeated under the city of Kaifeng, 100,000 troops were empty, and the generals died three or four in battle, but. In the blink of an eye, they immediately made a comeback again this year. He didn't even give Big Monday a little respite.

Fighting wars and wars is a money and grain economy. But the dignified Great Zhou, although it is located in the center, is extremely poor, and it is tired of coping with it again and again, so how can there be any spare strength to conquer Shudi? Sole... The only possible opportunity was that Emperor Meng Chang of Shu sent people to Kaifeng to sue for peace last year, but he was rejected by His Majesty the Emperor. At that time, the Great Zhou had just won the great victory of Kaifeng, Gaoping, and Fengxiang, but the Shu Kingdom was still not in the eyes of the emperor, but now, it is too late to regret it.

For a while, Zhao Kuangyin actually had a sense of powerlessness, as far as this thousand-mile attack is concerned, the plan is not meticulous, and the action is not smooth, but in the end, Changping's gains and losses have come to naught, making the entire plan of "closing the door and fighting the dog" fall short. If... If Changping and Juyong Pass are not lost, how can the Khitans escape? With the Khitan people's practice of relying on food for the enemy, they surround but do not fight, or in two days, the Khitan people will run out of food! However, history has no ifs ...

"Before I left Liangzhou, I suggested to His Majesty the Emperor that I borrow troops from the Uighurs!" Shi Xubai continued.

"Uighurs?" Zhao Kuangyin paused for a moment: "Is it the Ganzhou Uighurs?" The rise of the Ganzhou Uighurs was only twenty or thirty years old, since the Tang Dynasty abandoned the land west of the river, the west of the river gradually became barren, and the Ganzhou Uighurs were nomads, and the local Han people were in constant conflict, even if the Ganzhou Uighurs dominated Hexi, they could not cultivate much strength, not to mention, they still had the Guiyi army behind them to make trouble. The emperor doesn't know, don't you know? The Uighur elite men and horses are only 30,000 people, and if it weren't for their constant wandering, they would have already done it when I was west of the river! How can you suggest that Your Majesty make such a suggestion? Isn't this a rush to seek medical attention? Zhao Kuangyin's meaning was obvious, the strength of the Ganzhou Uighurs was not strong, not to mention the loss of silver in vain by borrowing troops from them, and there was no help for the Great Zhou. If you want to save the Uighurs in Ganzhou, you might as well save yourself!

"General, haven't you always wanted to take the whole of Hexi? Haven't you been agonizing about not being able to find the main force of the Uighurs in Ganzhou? Isn't now an opportunity? And there is no need for the general to make a move. Shi Xubai said with a smile.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were stunned suddenly, and a stream of light burst out of his eyes, and he said with a calm face: "Mr. Shi, you... What do you mean by that? "Zhao Kuangyin, this guy is extremely smart, can he not guess what Shi Xubai means? It's just that he doesn't want to think about what Shi Xubai means.

At this time, Shi Xubai came up with such an idea, obviously not to let himself fight with the Ganzhou Uighurs and establish a strong rival for Da Zhouzai. Instead, he wanted the Ganzhou Uighurs to fight with the Khitan or Chu armies, and he suddenly led the army back to Hexi and annexed the entire Hexi Corridor. As soon as he walked like this, the entire barrier of Hebei was gone, and in this case, the Khitans would inevitably drive straight in. The demise of the Great Zhou was inevitable, but the attention of the Chu army would immediately shift from Guanzhong to Henan. The state of Chu is definitely not stupid, the Great Monday perished, who is their fierce rival, they know it clearly. Don't look at the oil blending between Chu and Khitan now, the big Monday is over, and the two countries don't draw their swords against each other, that's a strange thing! When the time comes, I will have a chance to breathe when I stay in Hexi. After surviving a year or two, it will be difficult for Chu Jun to deal with himself again. He can be the king and hegemon in the west.

However, can he really give up the Central Plains desperately? Do you want to give up the eldest brother who is lying on the Jinluan Palace, dying? Ten years of brotherhood is not something that can be forgotten.

"Report to the general, there is a holy decree!" A guard was outside the tent and said loudly.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned, what else would there be at this time? He glanced at Shi Xubai, but Shi Xubai lowered his voice and said, "General." If His Majesty is in good health, this decree must be a reward for the general. If... If Your Majesty is unwell, then ... It is likely that this decree was the one who recalled the general. ”

"Recall me? How is this possible? Zhao Kuangyin said in surprise, not that he didn't look down on Shi Shouxin's buddies, but felt that only he was the best candidate for the northern marshal.

"Your Majesty is unwell, once he dies. The young emperor is in his prime, but the general is highly accomplished, and he has the right to be arbitrary, the emperor, can he rest assured? Shi Xubai said beside him.

Zhao Kuangyin walked out with a calm face. He took a group of military generals, put incense on the case, and received the holy decree, which was really to find Zhao Kuangyin to return to Beijing.

"Mr. Shi." Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Complaining? But his eldest brother Guo added himself to the rank of knight. can enter Beijing obediently, but it makes Zhao Kuangyin feel more or less uncomfortable, my brother Guo, the situation is so critical now, can't you still trust your brothers? If I go back, once there is any big change at the border gate, how can I deal with it then!

"I should not know that the general is alone when I am recalled, and I will be recalled like General Zhang Yongde Zhang!" Shi Xubai said. Now in the Great Zhou, Zhao Kuangyin guards the north, Zhang Yongde guards Huainan, and Gao Huaide guards the pass, if these people are recalled, then who will guard the border pass? Do you rely on Shi Shouxin and Wang Yan to call these brothers?

Shi Xubai continued: "General, in my opinion, the emperor did this, firstly, for fear that your merits would be high, and secondly, he also wanted General Shi Shouxin and them to establish meritorious deeds, which have become a rivalry with each other. However, he also made a mistake in doing so! In the event of a collapse of the front, it will be doomed. ”
