Chapter 252: Don't give in
Above the hall, all eyes were focused on Zhao Hao.
At this moment, even Zhao Hao, who had always been in front of Mount Tai and did not change his color, did not calm down.
This is obviously the pit that Cai Jing dug for himself, if it is just a small pit to let himself take command of the Liangshan Rebellion in front of him, then the battle of Liao is a very big pit.
If the Liao wins, his prestige in the army will inevitably increase, and once he leaves the capital for a long time, Cai Jing and others will instigate in front of Zhao Ji. The so-called three people become tigers, Zhao Ji has always been suspicious, according to the tradition of the Great Song Dynasty's extremely strict precautions against the clan, it is inevitable that he will be left out and idle.
If the Liao is defeated, then Tong Guan's party and Cai Jing's party will put the responsibility on themselves, and Zhao Ji's grand dream of recovering the sixteen states of Youyun in his heart will not be able to do anything if it fails.
And the most important thing is that one of the main reasons for the failure of the battle of Liao is that Zhao Ji's combat policy is wrong, if he continues to implement Zhao Ji's wrong policy, he will inevitably be defeated, if he does not implement it, I am afraid that half of this battle will be cold.
This poisonous plan, what a fucking poison!
Zhao Hao's mind was in a hurry, thinking about how to deal with it, and after careful consideration, he found something even more terrifying.
Maybe Cai Jingjing didn't expect that Zhao Hao couldn't accept this position of commander, not only could he not accept it, but he also had to find a way to accept it.
If he did not participate in this Northern Expedition, Tong Guan and Chongshidao and others continued to follow the original route, and the invasion of Liao would inevitably fail as in history. The consequence was that tens of thousands of soldiers died, and the main force of the Western Army, the most elite division of the Song army, lost most of it, and finally the Jin people saw the incompetence of the Song people, and then the Jin people took the opportunity to go south, and finally the shame of Jingkang will happen as in history.
At that time, in the face of the Jurchens who are like wolves and tigers, what can they do? With thousands of brocade guards to resist, how long can they resist? I'm afraid all my dreams will come to naught.
If he takes over this burden, after the success of the Liao invasion, he will inevitably be idle and neglected by Zhao Ji, but at least he has won the hearts of the army and the people, and he will be able to further show himself to the world.
In this way, even if the Jurchens are still in the city, in that critical situation, with their prestige among the hundred officials, the army and the people of the world, even if they come to the yellow robe once, there will not be too much opposition.
Over the past year or so, he has beheaded Gao Yu, fought Cai Jing, penetrated Liaodi, made Jurchen, Jingxi disaster relief, and killed corrupt officials and evil officials, and has accumulated a very high prestige in the minds of hundreds of officials, scholars and the people of Liming.
In the Battle of Pingjiangnan, he was just a small follower; The legend of traveling through thousands of miles of Liaodi to make gold, there are only 300 white soldiers who are witnessed; The pacification of the Liangshan bandits is nothing at all, and the main force of the Great Song Dynasty has never failed to quell the rebellion.
If you want to gain prestige in the army, this Northern Expedition is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity!
I only listened to Cai Jingdao: "If the Duke of Longde County is under the control of the capital, there are six victories: first, the Duke of Longde County has traveled thousands of miles of Liao, and fought with the Liao people several times, and has helped the Jurchens break through the 100,000 Liao army, familiar with the Liao people's terrain and combat formations, after all, it is better than those who know nothing; Second, Lund County is eighteen years old, in the prime of life, full of energy, and comparable to non-old people; Third, as a clan, the Duke of Lund County went to the front line on behalf of the clan, which could greatly stimulate the morale of all the soldiers; Fourth, Gongzi once commanded the rebellion of the bandits in Liangshan, which was like a bamboo, and no one could match it; Fifth, in the case of Jingxi, Gongzi was upright, resolute, and decisive, and he was the material of the main general; Sixth, according to Ma Zhi, the son of Nanlai, the Han people of Yandi are returning to the south day and night, and they treat Wang Shi hard, if the official family sends me to the Great Song Dynasty as the main general, to recruit Fu, it is enough to prove the sincerity of my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Of the six articles analyzed by Cai Jing, the first five were all nonsense, and only the sixth one completely hit Zhao Ji's heart.
Who is Ma Zhi, the initiator of Lianjin's destruction of Liao.
As a native of the Han dynasty of Liao, Ma Zhi did not have much patriotic enthusiasm for the Liao country, and the mixed situation in the Liao country was not satisfactory, which made Ma Zhi have a whimsical idea and actively promote the Song and Jin Dynasty to jointly attack Liao, as a "vote for the name" to the Song Dynasty, hoping to win a fish and dragon dance.
In the first year of Zhenghe, Ma Zhi took advantage of the opportunity of the Song Dynasty envoy Tong Guan to visit the Liao State, secretly met with Tong Guan, and proposed a plan to recover the sixteen states of Youyun.
And the most important thing is that Ma Zhi forcibly represented the Han people in the land of Youyan, and advocated in front of Zhao Ji that the Han people in Yandi had been thinking about returning to the south for a long time, and looked forward to Wang Shi day and night.
It was Ma Zhi's fanciful advocacy that happened to meet Zhao Ji, who was bent on becoming the first emperor of the ages, and the two hit it off, coupled with the help of Tong Guan, Wang Hao and others, that led to this Northern Expedition.
In fact, the Han people in the north have been ruled by the Liao people for more than a hundred years, and the vast majority of people have long had no idea of returning to the Han. At the beginning of the sale of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the Han people of Yandi did not want to be ruled by foreign races, and most of them hoped to return to the Song Dynasty. But the Song court didn't want to accept them, just thinking that they could make trouble in Yandi and make the Liao people unable to live in peace. In this way, the Song court did not accept it, the Liao people suppressed, and the poor Han people in Yandi have been prostrate under the rule of the Liao people for more than a hundred years, where is there any intention of returning to the Han?
However, Zhao Ji, an artist emperor who likes romance and dreams, really did the dream of the Great Song Dynasty as soon as the king arrived, the Han people of Yandi ate pot pulp to welcome, the Han soldiers of the Liao army turned against the battle, and the Great Song Dynasty pointed to the north, and the Liao people fled from the wind.
As soon as Cai Jing's voice fell, Cai Jing's party immediately echoed and expressed their approval, you must know that Cai Jing's party accounted for two-thirds of the hundred officials, and the momentum was vast and incomparable.
The Qingliu party members were caught off guard, but they just looked at Zhao Hao and didn't dare to express their opinions easily.
Only Wang Hao and others reacted, and immediately objected: "No, this is a battle for the country, how can the Duke of Longde County take on this responsibility when he is young?" ”
Zhao Ji also hesitated in his heart, it stands to reason that the clan cannot lead troops or even join the army, which is an unwritten rule since Taizong Zhao Guangyi. The Zhao family is not righteous, and the guards against the generals are strict, and the guards against the clan are even stricter.
It's just that Zhao Hao is different from other clans, he is the most trusted courtier of Zhao Ji at the moment, and there is no one. Every time Zhao Ji handed over something to Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao never disappointed him, but always brought him surprises. Coupled with Wang Wenqing's theory of protecting the Dharma and Zhao Hao's life healing technique, even though he was drunk and lying on the flowers every night, he still maintained his health and full of energy, which made him trust Zhao Hao more and more.
Zhao Ji looked at Cai Jing, then at Tong Guan, and finally at Zhao Hao, thought about it again and again, and asked Zhao Hao: "What does Nephew Qing think?" ”
Everyone looked at Zhao Hao quietly, waiting for his answer.
If Zhao Hao disagrees, no matter how many reasons Cai Jing has, maybe it's just for nothing, who is called Zhao Hao is the number one favorite minister today.
Jin Chongluo, Seed Master Dao, Seed Master, Xu Churen and others looked at Zhao Hao tightly, and they hoped that Zhao Hao would refuse very bluntly, in their eyes, Gongzi is such a smart person, he can see through Cai Jing's trap at a glance, and naturally they don't need to remind him out loud.
Zhao Hao glanced at Jin Chongluo and the others, sighed slightly in his heart, cleared his throat and said: "Weichen only obeys His Majesty's orders, but he has to be dispatched by the official family, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of him, he will not give up!" ”
In an instant, everyone was stunned, and looked at Zhao Hao in a daze, with an incredible look on his face, why did this seemingly shrewd and clever Duke of Longde suddenly be so stupid?
Cai Jing on the side smiled, although only a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he was laughing wantonly in his heart: Zhuzi has always been competitive and competitive, and even such a thing as crossing thousands of miles of Liao Land is not allowed, let alone just leading troops to the battle?
He thinks that he has pinched Zhao Hao's character. In his eyes, Zhao Hao is a stunned young character who is not afraid of death, the kind that admits death and rushes forward, so he expected that Zhao Hao would definitely agree.
It's just that what he doesn't know is that Zhao Hao thinks far more than he thinks.
Zhao Ji nodded approvingly, in his mind, this is like his most trusted confidant, there is no scheming, otherwise he will inevitably refuse.
He turned to Tong Guan again and asked, "Daofu, what do you think?" ”
Poor Tong Guan was pinched by Zhao Hao by three inches...... It's about four or five inches, where do you dare to offend Zhao Hao? Moreover, the meaning of the official family is basically finalized, and even if it is opposed, it will be invalid. What's more, he is still the coach, if he wins, the credit is indispensable, in case of failure, there will be an absolute heavyweight backstabber, this business is not a loss.
Tong Guan took a deep breath and said, "But at the disposal of His Majesty!" ”
Zhao Ji didn't hesitate any longer, immediately patted the dragon chair, and said, "Okay, according to my husband's wishes!" ”
Cai Jing exhaled softly, with a relieved look on his face, and looked at Zhao Hao, a wisp of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Next, for the post of deputy envoy of Xuanfu, the parties disputed endlessly.
The deputy envoy of the Xuanfu envoy is actually the supervisor of the army, monitoring the Xuanfu envoy and the capital system, and reporting the battle situation and army movements along the way to the official family at any time, so as to prevent the Xuanfu envoy and the capital system from blinding the holy hearing.
In the end, Cai Jing's party reached an agreement with Tong Guan and Wang Hao's party to appoint two deputy envoys, one was Cai You, who defected to Wang Hao, and the other was Cai Mao, Cai Mao, Cai Jing's party's right-hand man, and the two Cai were parallel to jointly supervise the army.
There is not much controversy about the selection of the deputy commander, and both the seed master and the seed master are the deputy commanders.
A noisy court meeting finally ended, a few happy and a few sad, and hundreds of officials evacuated in turn.
Zhao Hao was the last to leave the Vertical Arch Hall with a thoughtful look on his face.
He followed behind Baiguan from a distance, and suddenly heard a delicate "Brother Hao", and couldn't help but look back.
Goddess of Light Butterfly!
Zhao Fujin wore a fringed bun on his head, dressed in a royal blue pleated skirt, and ran towards Zhao Hao in the autumn wind, his clothes fluttering, like a butterfly, floating here.
Running closer, the posture was about to rush into Zhao Hao's arms, as if he remembered something, he stopped alive, his expression was also timid, and his two delicate hands seemed to be where to put them, so he had to hold them together, and said in a low voice: "Brother Hao, thank you!" ”
Zhao Hao knew what she wanted to thank, so he didn't speak, just reached out and gently touched her head, sighed slightly, and turned to leave.
He thought of the tragic experience of this beautiful woman like a butterfly goddess of light in history, and he felt a surge of anger in his heart, and then rushed to the limbs and hundreds of remains.
Lao Tzu fights this one!
No regrets......
