Chapter 59 The general trend of the world

Xu Guanzhong beckoned Lu Junyi and Yan Qing to sit down, and there were already guys from Cuiyunlou over there who sent wine glasses and chopsticks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Filling the wine glass, Lu Junyi raised his glass to Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong and said: "Today, it is enough to comfort Pingsheng, Lu Mou will do it first as a respect!" ā€

This glass of wine, Lu Junyi drank it, Wang Lun and the three of them were all hearty men, and they were all at will.

During the banquet, Xu Guanzhong told Lu Junyi that Wang Lun was the owner of the Zuixian Building in Jezhou, Shandong, and Lu Junyi was surprised again. He didn't expect that Wang Lun was not only outstanding in martial arts, but also knew how to do business, so he had to drink another glass.

"The man has been in the ring for three days, and Xiao Yi also wanted to try it, but the master said that Xiao Yi didn't have to win me." When Yan Qing, who was accompanying her, just watched the battle, she admired Wang Lun's martial arts and also got up to toast. "Today, I watched the competition between my brother and that person, and I knew that there were people outside the people."

Wang Lun admired Yan Qing very much, and also praised him for his proficient music and martial arts.

Lu Junyi, who secretly observed Wang Lun, saw that Wang Lun was capable but not arrogant, and he was even more admired in his heart. Pour your heart into each other, and raise your glass frequently.

When they just went upstairs, Lu Junyi and Yan Qing also heard the conversation between Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong. Regarding the general trend of mountains and rivers, Lu Junyi also expressed his views.

"From the perspective of defending foreign enemies, Chang'an and Luoyang are more advantageous. Chang'an is located in the Guanzhong Plain, with the Qinling Barrier in the west, the Weibei Mountains in the north, the Liupan Mountain in the west, and the Tongguan Heavenly Danger in the east. Look at Luoyang again, the Yellow River in the north, the Bishan Mountain in the south, the Guanzhong can be retreated to the west, and there is the Songshan Tiger Pass in the east. These two places have many natural dangers, and they are both easy to defend and difficult to attack. ’

"Kaifeng is in the Central China Plain of Yima Pingchuan, and only the Yanmen Pass and the Juma River defense line can be slightly blocked. However, the defense line was long, the forces were scattered, and it was easy to be held back by the enemy. ā€

Lu Junyi is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war, and his strategic analysis of the three places is just right.

Nodding in agreement with Lu Junyi's point of view, Wang Lun sighed and said, "It's a pity that Shi Jingjiao betrayed the country to seek glory and lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in vain. Since ancient times, the land of Yanyun has been full of generous and sad people, and it is the cornerstone of our Central Plains to defend against the enemy. With the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the entire Central Plains will lose its barrier, and it is a pity to let the Hulu outside the Saiwai rampant gallop! ā€

Shi Jingjiao was a figure in the Five Dynasties period and the founder of the Later Jin Dynasty. In order to win the civil war and win the throne, he colluded with the Khitan to cede the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

Later, Emperor Chai Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty went on a northern expedition to capture the three passes, but he gave up halfway because Chai Rong was sick.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Taizong also organized two Northern Expeditions, but both ultimately failed. Taizong lost countless soldiers in the first battle of the Gaoliang River, and he was also hit by two arrows and fled in a donkey cart. After that, the Song Dynasty of Liao State has been on the defensive, exchanging contracts and annual offerings for peace.

Speaking of this, Wang Lun felt uneasy, and said angrily: "The men of my generation should immediately restore the rivers and mountains of my Han family!" ā€

Wang Lun's words, not to mention Wang Xin, Han Bolong and others were enthusiastic when they heard it, even Xu Guanzhong and Yan Qing were also excited.

Xu Guanzhong took Wang Lun's words, sighed and said: "Taizu knew that his troops were inferior to the Liao State, and he wanted to use the means of "preparing for redemption" to buy back the sixteen states of Yanyun from the Khitan, but he was squandered after several major battles. ā€

Zhou has a strong enemy, and the state affairs are like this, and several people sighed. As a native of Hebei, Lu Junyi felt more deeply. "Yanyun does not collect, Hebei is not solid; Hebei is not solid, Henan is dangerous; The mountains and rivers are in danger of falling into the enemy country, the attack is unsuccessful, and the society is in danger! ā€

Although Yan Qing is not interested in the major affairs of the imperial court, he is also a person who worries about the country and the people, and his family and country are deeply complexed. Thinking about what he had seen and heard over the years, he said: "Looking at the Quartet, the new monarch of the Liao State in the north has no way, the government is lax, the national strength is weakening, and the threat to the Song is declining. Since Li Yuanhao, there has been no male lord in the Northwest Western Xia, and the land of projectiles has been in turmoil for many years, and it is not enterprising. These two strong days are down, and the day of recovering the Youyun region may not be far off. ā€

Xu Guanzhong, who was on the side, was far-sighted, not as optimistic as Yan Qing, and retorted unceremoniously: "Xiao Yi, Fang is chaotic today, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are in charge, and there are many officials like Cai Jing and Zhu Mian, who only know how to be powerful and oppress the people. Besides, the military discipline of the forbidden army is lax, the combat effectiveness is low, and empty salaries abound, how can they fight. Nowadays, the people are struggling to make a living, and there are many people who rise up, and they don't know when they will be peaceful. ā€

Speaking of the boredom, Xu Guanzhong drank a glass of wine and used the wine to dispel his sorrows.

"You only know that the two old enemies of our dynasty are in decline, but you don't know that there are even stronger enemies on the rise." After listening to Xu Guanzhong's words, Wang Lun did not vomit unpleasantly when he had something to say. "If I continue like this, in less than twenty years, the society will die!"

The Jurchen tribes in the northeast are quietly rising, and their leader, Wanyan Aguta, is also growing. Then this strong and tenacious nation founded the country, attacked Liao to destroy Liao, attacked Song and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and marched all the way.

Although everyone present could be trusted, Wang Lun's words still startled Xu Guanzhong. "Brother be cautious!"

Although the Song Dynasty was poor and weak at this time, after all, it had a large land and a large population, and the people of the country regarded themselves as big and powerful. Although Xu Guanzhong and Lu Junyi are far more knowledgeable than ordinary people, they are not as knowledgeable as Wang Lun, a latecomer. They all opened their mouths to ask why Wang Lun said this.

Wang Lun immediately analyzed the situation for everyone.

"This is not an alarmist remark by Wang, there were Xiongnu troubles in the Qin and Han dynasties, Wuhu chaos in the two Jin dynasties, Turkic troubles in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and Khitan and Western Xia in this dynasty." Wang Lun first counted the border troubles of the Central Plains in all dynasties, and then said. "Others such as Xianbei, Tuyuhun, Huifu, and Tubo are often fierce rivals, but the Qin and Han dynasties were as talented as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and did not know that there were Wuhu in the future, and the Tang Dynasty was as wise as Tang Taizong could not have imagined that the Khitan would have today's trend."

Wang Lun's words are based on the descendants and summarize the gains and losses of the border troubles of the Central Plains dynasties. The summary of the whip penetrated, and Xu Guanzhong nodded when he heard it.

Or Xu Guanzhong saw Wang Lun's voiceover and asked directly: "Brother Wang means that there is a strong enemy that we can't see now?" ā€

"Not bad! As the saying goes, born in sorrow and dying in peace. Wang Lun affirmed Xu Guanzhong's question, and continued. It is impossible to say that between the poor mountains and bad waters, a strong foreign enemy will arise. At that time, the military generals of the Chinese courtiers of the DPRK will be comfortable for a long time, and they will not be able to think of danger in peace, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ā€

Wang Lun's words made Xu Guanzhong and Lu Junyi both break out in a cold sweat, if this is the case, it will really be a disaster.

Seeing that Xu Guanzhong was silent, Wang Lun thought for a moment and explained his words directly to Xu Guanzhong. "Brother Xu has also been to the Khitan and Liaodong, but he knows that there are Kereh and Tarta in the north of the Khitan, and there are also Jurchens in Liaodong. I can't say that in a few years, these two tribes will be our rivals! ā€

The Kereh and Tarta tribes were the two branches of the Mongol tribes that Genghis Khan did not integrate, and the Jurchens were later Jin people, who were now attached to the Liao State.

Xu Guanzhong thought for a while and said: "The Tarta Department heard about it when I was in the Liao Kingdom, and the people of the tribe were sparse and the place of survival was bad. The Jurchens are the black water of the Tang Dynasty, I have seen mature Jurchens in Liao, and I heard that there are many uncivilized Jurchens in the deep mountains and old forests of Liaodong. ā€

Wang Lun didn't expect Xu Guanzhong to really know about these tribes, so he said: "Since Brother Xu knows these tribes, he should also know that these foreign tribes are skilled in archers and horses, brave and good at fighting, and excluding population factors, this is not something that our Great Song Dynasty can contend with." ā€

Xu Guanzhong had seen the strength of the Jurchens, and nodded in acknowledgement.

Lu Junyi looked at the topic on the wine table and changed the topic. He raised his glass and said, "I heard that Taizu has a will, and those who recover the sixteen states of Youyun will be crowned kings." I wish Brother Wang to go to high school and restore my Hanjia rivers and mountains! ā€

Xu Guanzhong and Yan Qing also raised their glasses and drank together, each wishing Wang Lun great ambitions and immediately sealing Hou Yunyun.

Several people drank until Shen was about to run out, and Lu Junyi intended to invite Wang Lun to stay at home, but Wang Lun pushed him off.

Lu Junyi was repeatedly invited, and Wang Lun promised to visit the house early tomorrow morning, so Lu Junyi left with confidence.

On the way, Xu Guanzhong asked what happened to someone from Lu Mansion looking for Lu Junyi in the afternoon, and Lu Junyi bluntly said that someone made trouble in front of Lu Mansion and injured two nursing homes.

Xu Guanzhong was stunned for a while, the day before yesterday, Cuiyunlou lost the treasure of the town store, and someone made trouble at the door today, so it's not strange!
