Tian V Cai? One second} to remember https://., ...
The Song army's more than 500,000 troops were defeated by the Liao army, with nearly half of the casualties, and then the Liao army, which defeated the Song army, was easily annihilated by the Liangshan army.
Song Guo's strategy of locking Li Yan in the clouds and preventing Li Yan from coming out seems to have completely failed.
Not only that, Li Yan, who had many generals and was ambitious, also became the Linbang of the Song State.
Things seem to be developing in the most unfavorable direction for the Song Kingdom.
After knowing all this, Zhao Ji aged a lot overnight, and he no longer had the same romance as before.
Liu Yanqing's reputation was discredited, and Zhao Ji didn't care about him to die.
What worries Zhao Ji is that after this battle, the low combat effectiveness of the Song army has completely leaked out, which makes him and the Great Song lose face for the time being, the key is what will he use to defend the vast and rich territory of the Great Song Dynasty in the future? More importantly, what did he use to stifle Li Yan's ambition?
Zhao Ji called Wang Hao, Li Bangyan and others overnight to discuss countermeasures.
In fact, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan and others had long known that the Song army was defeated, Zhuozhou, Yizhou and other prefectures and counties were reoccupied by the Liao army, and then taken away by the Liangshan army.
For these emergencies, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan and others were actually a little caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with them.
Zhao Ji walked around and said: "Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing performed very well and bravely when they quelled the civil strife and suppressed Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La, but this time in Hebei against the Liao army, why are they so weak and incompetent?" ”
Wang Hao was also puzzled, and said: "Yes, it is indeed incomprehensible, Tong Xuanfu, Deputy Cai Xuanfu, and Liu Yanqing, why did they suddenly withdraw their troops?" Isn't this muddle? ”
Li Bangyan said: "Weichen has long said that this time the Northern Expedition is a risky move, we should not send troops, and now Tong Guan and Liu Yanqing have lost their teachers and humiliated the country, and they must be severely punished!" ”
"How to deal with Tong Guan, Cai You and Liu Yanqing?"
"What's next?"
“……”
Zhao Ji's heart was in turmoil - he was not willing to be taken away by Li Yan, but he was also worried about Li Yan's idea of beating them in the Great Song Dynasty after Li Yan pacified Yandi!
Zhao Ji was really disappointed with Tong Guan, so he wrote a codex to Tong Guan, reproaching: "From now on, I won't reply to you." ”
Liang Shicheng volunteered to go to Xiongzhou to personally hand over this codex to Tong Guan.
Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng were the two most powerful eunuchs of this era, Tong Guan has always been called "Concubine", while Liang Shicheng has always been called "Hidden Phase".
In fact, the power of the two people is about the same, but the division of labor is different.
However, because Liang Shicheng was active by Zhao Ji's side every day, and wrote and promulgated edicts on behalf of Zhao Ji, he had a great influence on the outside world, so Tong Guan did not dare to underestimate Liang Shicheng.
Hearing that Liang Shicheng had come to Xiongzhou in person, Tong Guan hurriedly went out with Cai You to greet him.
As soon as they met, Liang Shicheng lowered his voice and said, "Tong Xuanfu, you can get into big trouble this time." ”
Tong Guan felt a pang in his heart, and vaguely guessed that it should be Liu Yanqing's defeat.
Liang Shicheng directly handed over Zhao Ji's codex to Tong Guan.
Tong Guan opened it and looked at it, and then his body shook!
"From now on, I will not believe in you." These short eight words are tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Tong Guan!
Tong Guan has followed Zhao Ji for more than 20 years, and it is the first time he has received a codex written by Zhao Ji in such a stern tone.
Looking at this familiar handwriting, Tong Guan can also understand Zhao Ji's anger and disappointment when he wrote this codex.
What does it mean for a eunuch to be trusted by the emperor and to be clearly informed?
It means falling out of favor, it means that everything is over!
Tong Guan was terrified, and a layer of cold sweat unconsciously broke out on his forehead!
Cai You didn't see the contents of the codex, but from Tong Guan's face, he had almost guessed that it must be the official family who knew about the rout of the army, so he was furious.
In this regard, Cai You is not afraid, he has a tacit understanding with Zhao Ji, knowing that Zhao Ji will not blame him for this, he came here just to see Tong Guan, not to fight, so he is not worried.
Tong Guan hurriedly asked Liang Shicheng for help: "Taifu, you have to help me, you are the person who knows the official family best, in your opinion, what does the official family mean?" ”
Liang Shicheng beckoned to Tong Guan, and Tong Guan hurriedly came to Liang Shicheng to listen.
Liang Shicheng lowered his voice and said, "Now you only have one way to go. ”
Tong Guan hurriedly asked: "Which way?" Please also ask the master to teach. ”
Liang Shicheng said: "Completely solve the disaster of Li Yan, and then recover Yanjing." ”
Tong Guan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, if he had this ability, how could the situation come to this point?
After Liang Shicheng left, Tong Guan handed Zhao Ji's codex to Cai You and said, "Look at it, the official family is really angry this time, we must find a way to deal with Li Yan and then recover Yanjing, otherwise, we will all be impeached...... I am old, you are still young, and your political life is still very long, if you cannot solve this matter satisfactorily, it may affect your future career. ”
Cai You smiled and said: "The official family should be angry, more than 500,000 troops were defeated by more than 20,000 people and horses of the Liao army, then Liu Yanqing is really a stupid pig, extremely incompetent...... In my opinion, it is better to wait for Zhao Liangsi to come back from Bei'an Prefecture and then study how to eliminate Li Yanhe and how to recover Yanjing. ”
Tong Guan nodded in agreement on the surface, but secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, "We can't even defeat the Liao army, how can we defeat the Liangshan army that defeated the Liao army?" ”
Tong Guan had a hunch that his reputation would be ruined in the recovery of Yanjing.
Tong Guan's mood was so heavy that he didn't want to eat.
Seeing this, Wang Huan, a staff member of the Xuanfu Division, said to Tong Guan: "This rout was caused by Liu Yanqing's incompetence in command, you can't be blamed for this, you have served the official family for many years and made many military achievements, and the official family should not blame you." ”
Wang Huan was the son of Wang Shizhong, the governor of Dengzhou, and once followed Zhao Liangsi across the sea to the northeast as a deputy envoy and signed a maritime alliance with the Jurchens.
Later, Wang Huan followed Tong Guan to Hebei Xuanfu Division as a staff member.
Tong Guan sighed and said, "You are still young, and you don't understand the heat and coldness in it. ”
Wang Huan thought for a while, and then offered a plan to Tong Guan and said: "Taishi, I think it is better for us to send someone directly to Bei'anzhou, and then ask the Emperor of Jin to abide by the covenant, send troops into the pass, and attack Yanjing with us in the north and south, so that we may be able to defeat Li Yan and then recover Yanjing in one fell swoop." ”
Cai You listened to it and said: "I think this method is okay, now it is only possible to defeat Li Yan by fighting with the Jurchens in the north and south, and besides, Zhao Liangsi has not returned for a long time, and I don't know what the result of the negotiation is, we can't just wait passively like this." ”
Tong Guan pondered for a while, and then said to Wang Huan: "You have been to the Jin Kingdom, and you have also met the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, then you will work hard again, go to Bei'an Prefecture, and then on behalf of me Tong Guan, ask the Emperor of the Jin State to choose a date, send troops eastward, and attack Yanjing with my Great Song Dynasty......"
