Chapter 18 Soldiers
After He Guan finished speaking, he only saw a twitch on the face of the minister in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It stands to reason that He Guan was recommended to Song Huizong by himself, and he should have a little bit of grace when he talks to himself, but He Guan doesn't help himself to speak, but he helps others speak, so the minister glared at He Guan fiercely.
However, He Guan's answer was greatly unexpected by Zhao Shu, He Guan, as a battlefield general, his upright temperament can be seen in the literature of later generations. He Guan has been fighting with Western Xia in the west for many years, and he knows the situation in the west best, Zhao Shu just wants Song Huizong to give him a chance to tell the truth, so as not to let the main force of the Western Army go south, he never thought that this guy actually suggested that Song Huizong leave the main force of the Western Army in Tuntian, Northwest Tuntian, and quickly pacify Liangshan and Fangla, and then transfer troops into the pass to counterattack Western Xia.
This seems to be not far from his own plan, so that Zhao Shu now thinks that He Guan can read minds, but then again, although He Guan is upright, he is not stupid, that minister has the grace of knowing him, he understands what he thinks in his heart, but he also has to help himself speak, which is really unreasonable.
It seems that He Guan's words are indeed true, and Zhao Shu can't help but give him a thumbs up, which is too professional. Everyone present could understand Zhao Shu's current thoughts, but He Guan still had to do this, which really showed the demeanor of a battlefield general.
"Your Majesty: Since even General He said so, then this Western Army will never be able to be mobilized. Therefore, as General He said, it is necessary to deal with Liangshan and Fangla thieves quickly, and a few days ago, His Royal Highness said that Zhao'an Liangshan is the best way to restrain Fangla, although it is the best policy, but Zhao'an is protracted and cannot achieve the effect of speed, I am afraid that Liangshan will not be recruited by then, and the west will be in a hurry again! In addition, the Liangshan thieves have always been fierce and disobedient to the imperial government, and they are afraid that they will raise tigers after Zhao'an. Therefore, Weichen suggested that the officers and troops should be mobilized from Hedong and Hebei Zhulu to suppress Liangshan, exterminate Fangla, and then reinforce the northwest official army! After everyone was silent for a while, Gao Yu, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth, and said one by one, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Zhao Shu.
After Gao Yu finished speaking, Zhao Shu suddenly felt tired, this was simply driving away the jackals and coming to the tiger and leopard. But if you think about it carefully, this is understandable, just like the story of "Water Margin", the Liangshan Song Jiang brothers and Tong Guan have great enmity, especially Lin Chong, these people, after being forced to Liangshan, almost every action is aimed at Gao Yu, especially not long ago, the Liangshan army broke through Gaotang Prefecture and killed Gao Yu's nephew Gao Lian, which made Gao Yu very angry, so it strengthened the confrontation between the two sides.
Now Gao Yu wants to get rid of Liang Shan as soon as possible, but he will never let them go if he has the slightest opportunity, and Zhao Shu's original strategy is somewhat contrary to Gao Yu's wishes.
Zhao Shu can't show weakness either, at least he feels that Cai Jing will definitely be on his side. When I was thinking hard about countermeasures, I suddenly remembered that in the TV series "Bright Sword" that I loved in later generations, there was such a dialogue: When Li Yunlong's regimental headquarters encountered the Japanese army, Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the **** Jin Sui Army in the rear, planned to use artillery to support Li Yunlong, but was stopped by his staff on the grounds that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had a different path, Chu Yunfei sighed: "What is lost in this way is only China's own national defense strength!" ”
After thinking of this dialogue, Zhao Shu also concocted the same method, stood up, and said: "Enlighten the father! If you want to transfer officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress again, even if you break through Liangshan, you will only be afraid of countless deaths and injuries, corpses are all over the field, blood flows like a river, thousands of miles of white bones plus the official army will have to be from the square, I am afraid that these two groups of thieves will be wiped out, and our officers and soldiers will also be greatly injured, and they will not have any ability to support the Western Army's counterattack on Western Xia! Only by using thieves to control thieves can we preserve the maximum strength of our officers and soldiers and make all the thieves and robbers die together! ”
Song Huizong quietly looked at the courtiers below and didn't speak. After Zhao Shu finished speaking, Cai Jing just stood quietly aside and did not express any opinions, putting on an attitude of neither supporting Zhao Shu nor Cai Jing. Zhao Shu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in this old fox gourd.
And the minister in front of He Guan, although he is no longer dealing with Zhao Shu now, but he is a mortal enemy with Gao Yu and others, in his opinion, Zhao Shu and Gao Yu were originally colluded and colluded, and now it is just that there are some disputes between the two sides over their interests and this situation has occurred. Zhao Shu and Gao Yu dog bit the dog's hair, but he watched happily from the sidelines, and he couldn't wait for the two of them to quarrel to the death in the court.
However, He Guan showed a hint of amazement in his eyes after Zhao Shu finished speaking, but in an instant, since Song Huizong pardoned him for his innocence, when Zhao Shu and Gao Yu were chattering, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty!" What His Royal Highness said is very true, if the official army forcibly conquers Liangshan and Fangla, it will only increase casualties! In addition, although Hedong and Hebei have been in a peaceful state for a long time in the northern Liao State, there are undercurrents surging in it. It's just that there has been no large-scale war, and the Liao soldiers have been provoking for a long time, and they send troops deep into the interior to threw grass every season! If at this time, the officials and troops of Hebei and Hedong Zhulu go south, the two places will be turbulent and unstable. What's more, dispatching officers and troops from all walks of life to travel thousands of miles to fight in the south and in the north, the national treasury is afraid that the grain and salary will be consumed, and it will be worth millions at every turn. Therefore, the last general seconded His Highness's strategy to control thieves with thieves! In order to get twice the result with half the effort! ”
After He Guan finished speaking, not only Gao Yu was unhappy, but even the face of the minister in front of him looked extremely ugly.
"General He! What do you mean by that? Could it be that I have no soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty? You have to be a thief against a thief! Use those rebellious Liangshan thieves who kill officers and soldiers to destroy the official government? ”
"Lord Gao doesn't have to be like this, the last general is just stating the truth!"
"Humph! Tell the truth? What qualifications do you, a little martial artist who ascended to the top, discuss court affairs here? ”
"The last general is just on the orders of His Majesty, and he is not guilty!"
.......
Gao Yu suddenly pointed the muzzle of the gun at He Guan, Zhao Shu only felt a burst of relief, this Gao Yu's three-inch incorruptible tongue was not blown out, and no one could say it, anyway, he thought he was invincible.
Just when Zhao Shu secretly sighed relaxed, and He Guan Gao Yu was in full swing.
"Smack!"
I only heard a loud noise from the dragon case, and I saw Song Huizong, who was sitting in front of the dragon case, his face was blue and white for a while, and he took two breaths in his nose, and then scolded: "Okay! What's the noise?! You treat my study as a street market!? ”
Even Song Huizong felt that one head was bigger. Song Huizong was angry, Gao Yu and He Guan didn't dare to say anything more, but Gao Yu's afterglow glared at He Guan, He Guan pretended not to see it, and looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
After Song Huizong's anger subsided for a while, he saw Zhao Huan, who had always been taciturn, standing up and saying, "Enlighten the father!" The fifth brother and Gao Taiwei also have their own opinions, and the sons have a strategy. ”
"Say it!" Song Huizong said impatiently, he can not listen to other people's words, but he still has to listen to the words of his sister-in-law and future heir.
"Since the fifth brother and the Taiwei are not compatible, it is better to go first to the fifth brother's method, the fifth brother will go to Zhao'an on behalf of his father, if it is really not possible, he will do what the Taiwei said, and transfer troops to completely eradicate Liangshan!"
Zhao Huan said this was just a response to Zhao Shu's echoing of himself before, but when it came to this method, it was just that he didn't want to fully support Zhao Shu.
After Zhao Huan finished his strategy, Cai Jing's cloudy old eyes suddenly shone brightly, and at the same time, he was also captured by Song Huizong, and asked, "What does the prime minister think?" ”
"Your Majesty! What the prince said is very reasonable! The old minister supports the prince's plan! ”
After Cai Jing said this, Gao Yu's heart collapsed like a volcanic eruption and Mars hitting the earth, and he didn't back down on this matter, but his boss didn't help him, but he helped the prince. There was a black line on his face.
Song Huizong nodded thoughtfully, and at this moment, Cai Jing stepped forward again and said: "It's just that as General He said, the official army of Hebei Hedong Zhulu has to deal with the Liao army that threshed grass, but I am afraid that the temporary mobilization will not be so neat, and the soldiers, horses, grain and grass will not be in place on time." His Royal Highness the King of the County is the prince, and if there is a slight accident, he will lose all the plates! In addition, a few days ago, an assassin from the Western Xia Yuanhao Hall assassinated His Highness, I am afraid that His Highness's trip to Liangshan this time is extremely dangerous! ”
"The prime minister has said it! This move is not an envoy to the enemy country, Liangshan is in the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, what is the danger at all? Besides, isn't there a large army around Liangshan to protect His Highness's safety? The minister in front of He Guan gave Cai Jing a blank look.
"The prime minister is right, this matter is not trivial, even at the foot of the dignified Son of Heaven, Bianjing in the state of the emperor, the people of Western Xia dare to come to assassinate it, let alone other places. Those officers and soldiers around Liangshan can't even hold a small Gaotang Prefecture, how can they take the responsibility for the safety of His Highness? Speaking of which, He Guan couldn't help but complain about the officers and soldiers who surrounded and suppressed Liangshan.
Listening to what they said, Zhao Shu only felt goosebumps straight up and down his body, and his hairs stood on end. is a good Zhao'an, they say that it is like going up to the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, is the hero of Liangshan so terrible? Later novels, TV series, and historical materials don't say so. However, he also understood that Cai Jing was doing things for himself by saying this, and he had not opened his mouth about the matter of asking for soldiers until now.
"Didn't the prime minister approve of the fifth brother going to recruit An Liangshan? Since this trip is extremely dangerous, what can the prime minister do? When he heard that Zhao Shu's trip was extremely dangerous, Song Huizong was also anxious and asked.
"It's not that there is no way, now the officers and troops besieging Liangshan are weak and unable to bear the heavy responsibility of His Highness's safety. But before that, when His Royal Highness was assassinated, the Golden Gun Squad and the officers and soldiers of the Japanese battalion fought to the death, not only to show that their loyalty was commendable, but also to show the strength of their combat power, and even the masters of the Western Xia Yuan Haotang could not succeed. ”
