Chapter Twenty-Nine: Undercover and Righteousness

In the original history, after the Western Army captured Hengshan and Hehuang and won a complete victory, Tong Guan swelled, thinking that the Western Xia army had lost its heart and intended to conquer the Western Xia in one fell swoop. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In this regard, the Western Army all held opposing opinions, thinking that the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty had fought for a hundred years, how could they not have any real skills, and they were beaten to the capital by the enemy, how could they not fight hard?

But Tong Guan didn't care, he only wanted to attack Shuofang, and then drove straight into Xingqing Mansion to destroy Western Xia in one fell swoop.

The seed master persuaded him to be cautious, so he was transferred from the main battlefield in the northwest by Tong Guan and demoted in disguise.

After that, Tong Guan repeatedly forced Liu Fa, the first fierce general of the Western Army at that time, to lead his troops to capture the Shuofang land of Western Xia.

So Liu Fa led 20,000 troops first, followed by tens of thousands of troops, and then the Western Xia really stormed away, and the Western Xia Jin King Chage Shuai army of more than 10,000 soon made Liu Fa travel a long distance, and the tired 20,000 Western troops from afar stopped under the city of Tong'an, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Then the Western Army was defeated after seven hours of hard fighting, Liu Fa was defeated alone, and was killed by the burden army of Western Xia (the one who picked up the military supplies) on the road, so the Western Army was leaderless, and together with the follow-up troops behind it, nearly 100,000 people were wiped out.

In the end, the morale of the Western Xia soared, the generals of the Western Army were afraid, and the good situation was reversed.

Later, the Song and Xia talked about peace and war again, so hundreds of thousands of Western troops were idle, and then Tong Guan listened to Zhao Liangsi's foolishness, and prepared to fight the Liao State and make contributions.

As a result, the soldiers and horses had not moved, so Fang La rebelled at this time, and Fang La refused to listen to the correct advice of General LΓΌ, and first sent heavy troops to attack Jiangning Mansion (now Nanjing) to hold the Yangtze River and prevent the imperial army from attacking.

Or simply obey another military advisor Chen Hoop Bucket, and directly lead the troops to Bianjing, with the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Capital Gate Forbidden Army, which is as weak as scum, maybe it can really defeat Bianjing, and coerce the Son of Heaven to blackmail the Western Army, maybe it can really be able to list the territory and divide the princes.

But the stubborn and short-sighted Fang La was very optimistic that the imperial court was corrupt to the core, and it was absolutely impossible to send heavy troops in a short period of time, so he only sent a partial division of Fang Qifo to the north, and the main force of the rebel army waved south to capture the county of southern Zhejiang.

To the point, Fang La really did not misunderstand this corrupt and almost no control and mobilization ability over the places below the county seat, according to normal circumstances, when the Song Dynasty mobilized a large army, it would take at least half a year or even a year later.

But that's how it happened! At this time, Tong Guan gathered more than 100,000 western troops to prepare to attack the Liao State, but Fang La hit the muzzle of the gun, and the imperial court quickly dispatched the Western army to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, and in front of the powerful Western army, Fang La's uprising was quickly quelled.

It is conceivable that if Liangshan rebelled at that time, and then the Western Army came to fight Liangshan, it would be a tragic result.

Of course, Lin Chong only knew a rough idea of these things in his previous life, and at this time, he also tried to explain them to the two of them in detail, only talked about his worries, and then said:

"So, we must not let that happen. The best situation is that the Western Army will fight steadily, all the way to Xingqing Mansion, and then surround Xingqing Mansion, fight for a year or two, and finally destroy Western Xia. ”

Lu Jiang said: "How can this matter be decided by us? ”

Lin Chong looked at Huan Yi with burning eyes and said: "So I want Huan Yi to pass the Jinshi examination in the autumn of this year, and then present the stone throwing machine I designed to the imperial court, and then I will also design a set of chariot arrays, with small stone throwing machines and bows and crossbows and spears, so as to advance step by step;

After that, I will also write a strategy to pacify the Western Xia, let the Huan brothers dedicate to Tong Guan, as long as Tong Guan can follow this strategy and fight steadily, he can definitely hit Xingqing Mansion within half a year, and break it within a year, and then gradually destroy the Western Xia, but the Western Army will be held back for at least five or six years. In this way, I Liangshan will no longer have to worry about it!

It's just that this task is too difficult, it's easy to offer a stone thrower, a chariot array, and a flat summer strategy, it's too difficult to gain Tong Guan's trust and become a confidant, and it's even more difficult to make Tong Guan willing to listen to you, and there will be unpredictable dangers.

You have a close relationship with General Lu, and you have called me a brother and sister these days, once we do something in Liangshan, you will inevitably not be suspected, although the Great Song Dynasty never kills scholars, but it is inevitable that no one will secretly do it, Brother Huan is willing to do it? ”

Huan Yi was a little excited: "It turns out that the eldest brother's plan is so far-reaching, Huan Yi is willing to go, and he will definitely live up to the eldest brother's trust!" It's just that this year's autumn may not be able to pass the Jinshi. ”

Lin Chong said: "Can you test poetry in autumn?" ”

Huan Yi said: "The Jinshi subject is divided into two subjects: Jingyi and Poetry, which are naturally tested for poetry, but the ranking of the Jinshi in both subjects must be evaluated by the results of the strategy. ”

Lin Chong said: "That's it, I'll give you a few poems tomorrow, and you can take them back and process them when I write two theories, and you can pass the exam!" ”

It's not that Lin Chong is arrogant, because Lin Chong was originally a scholar, doctor, and engineer in his previous life, and it is naturally difficult for him to write articles and papers.

In addition, there are too many people in the world who look at the problem in height and depth far beyond this era, and it is not difficult to write a penetrating and feasible policy theory of the times.

As for the poems and fuwen, just copy Su Dongpo, such good articles and poems should be sung by him through the ages.

Huan Yi was stunned, and wanted to say that it was amazing my brother, what else would you not do.

Lin Chong said again: "Since Brother Huan is willing to go, then from tomorrow Brother Huan will try not to associate with us again, and let Thirteen secretly spread the word if there is something, just treat it as if you were admitted to the Jinshi and ignore us." ”

Huan Yi nodded: "The eldest brother doesn't need to command, the younger brother can save it." ”

Lin Chong handed over the bottom, Lu Jiang and Huan Yi saw that he planned so far-reaching and thoughtful, and they were suddenly in a state of agitation, Lu Jiang immediately pulled Huan Yi, and the two of them fell to the ground again.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In this life and this life, the two of us are willing to follow the eldest brother forever, lead the horse and fall, and be willing to drive! ”

Is this the end of self-observation and a complete return to the heart?

Lin Chong was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped the two of them up again, and then bowed deeply, and said in an extremely serious and solemn tone: "Brother Lu, Brother Huan, in this life and this life, I, Lin Chong, will not be defeated!" ”

General Lu was still a little excited, and proposed that the three of them follow Taoyuan's three knots and worship, Lin Chong and Huan Yi were also very happy, and immediately cut their palms, made a blood alliance, and became brothers.

After the ceremony was completed, Lu Jiangwuzi was still excited, and he saw that he was a little embarrassed and said: "The eldest brother wants to achieve great things, and the younger brother does not dare to hide it anymore."

The younger brother has a friend from the same township, who was originally a stonemason in the mountains of Shezhou, and later met a retired veteran, learned a good skill, used to use a steel gun, and had the courage of ten thousand people, the younger brother is willing to return to his hometown and pull him to do great things. ”
