Chapter 260: Face Chen Tongguan
Tong Guan just came back from the court, since Gao Yu led 30,000 troops to attack Liangshan and returned from a fiasco, was dismissed from all positions by the Son of Heaven, and was ordered to go home to face the wall, the position of the commander in front of the palace fell to Tong Guan's head, and he also took over Gao Yu's territory, which was Tong Guan's biggest victory this year, which really made him complacent.

Last year, his hand reached into Taixue, and opened a martial arts course in Taixue, and he also went to Taixue several times to give lectures, which caused a great sensation in Taixue, and he arranged for newly recruited Taixue students to go to the military camp for training for a year, which has gradually changed the thinking of a large number of Taixue students, no longer focusing on literature, but on both literature and martial arts.
Tong Guan intervened in Taixue not to cultivate a group of loyal people, he is over sixty years old, the career of the eunuch sea will not be too long, and there are no children to inherit the career, he is mainly for the sake of the name behind him, leaving his mark on the system of the Great Song Dynasty, he needs to cultivate a large number of officials who agree with his own ideas, and completely change the powerless status of the military generals in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the room, Tong Guan was sitting under the lamp reading a book, and at this time, a guard reported at the door, "Captain Qiyu, Li Shaojun asks to see!" ”
"Li Yanqing?"
"Exactly!"
Tong Guan is a little strange, didn't Li Yanqing go back to his hometown to prepare for the imperial examination? Coming back now? He groaned and said, "Take him to the outer study for a while, and I'll be right there." ”
The guards walked quickly, Tong Guan got up and changed into a piece of clothing, and then walked to the study outside in a hurry.
In the outer study, Li Yanqing was sitting at the table drinking tea, when at this time, there were footsteps outside, and the maid whispered: "The captain is here!" ”
Li Yanqing hurriedly got up and walked to the door, only to see Tong Guan walking over with his hand, he stepped forward to give a salute, "Students see Taiwei!" ”
Tong Guan smiled and said, "Did you come back from your hometown so soon?" ”
"Something happened to Taixue, and the students had to rush back."
"Oh? What happened? ”
"Student ....."
Tong Guan waved his hand, "Sit down and speak slowly." ”
Tong Guan walked into the room and sat down, Li Yanqing also sat down on the side, he took out the letter that Taixue gave him from his arms, and handed it to Tong Guan, "Tai Lieutenant, please look at this!" ”
Tong Guan looked at it once, and immediately became angry, Qin Hui served as Taixue Xue Zheng He knows, he has also seen it once, this person is very respectful to him, his attitude is very humble, Tong Guan is not disgusted, I didn't expect this person to be two-faced, one on the surface, one behind the back, doesn't he know that Li Yanqing is a banner he erected in Taixue? Forgive him for not having the guts, this must be Cai Jing's instigation, attacking Li Yanqing, and finally completely eliminating his influence in Taixue.
"Humph! This man is so bold. ”
Tong Guan read the letter again, his brows furrowed slightly, "You didn't study in Taixue last August, where did you go?" ”
Of course, Li Yanqing would not say that he was going to kill Yang Jian, he had already recorded it in his heart, so he said unhurriedly: "The student actually went to the Song-Liao border to understand the situation." ”
"Find out what?" Tong Guan was even more puzzled.
"Captain Qiyu, the Jurchens have captured Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo the year before last, cut off the foundation of the Khitans, and besieged Shangjing on a large scale, the situation in Liaoguo is already precarious, and the students are very concerned about the follow-up battle situation, so they went to Zhending Mansion in August last year to learn about the battle situation in Shangjing."
Tong Guan nodded, Li Yanqing's reason was very persuasive, he couldn't help but not believe it, he raised the letter in his hand and said: "He wants you to explain tomorrow, you tell him, I sent you out, I will give you a proof, I don't believe it, a little Xuezheng has eaten the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and dares to go against me!" ”
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Tong Guan returned the letter to Li Yanqing, "Is there anything else?" ”
"There's another piece of information that the student wants the captain to know."
"What information?"
Li Yanqing relayed the news that Zhang Jiu told him on the road to Tong Guan, Tong Guan's face gradually became solemn, there was still such a thing, he immediately asked, "Where is this person?" ”
"This man is waiting outside the door, I hope the captain will not frighten him."
"I know!"
Tong Guan immediately asked the guards to bring Zhang Jiu outside the door, he and the Western Xia have been at war for many years, of course they know the importance of this information, in the fourth year of Zhenghe, he led the army to attack the ancient bone dragon of the Western Xia, defeated the Western Xia army, and finally because Fang La rebelled again, forcing the Song army to have a temporary truce, in a sense, the Song and Xia countries are still in a state of war, but the truce is too long, everyone has forgotten a little.
Li Yanqing also had his thoughts, in history, Western Xia did take the opportunity to attack the Liao State, but that was in the late period when the Liao State was about to fall, and at the same time, taking advantage of the danger of Jingkang, a large number of encroachments on the territory of the Song Dynasty.
However, with the consistent style of Xixia being good at falling into the well, when the war in the Liao State was tight and the Xijing army was empty, it did not take the opportunity to occupy the Xijing of the Liao State, so it is difficult to say.
Once the Western Xia took the opportunity to attack Xijing of the Liao State, it would make the Liao State face a situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy, and it would inevitably accelerate the demise of the Liao State.
Historically, the reason why the Jin Dynasty did not destroy the entire Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty was preserved was that the Jin Dynasty was not fully prepared and rushed south, resulting in a lack of stamina.
In any case, Li Yanqing had to persuade Tong Guan to stop this stupid and short-sighted behavior of the Western Xia, of course, in the later stages of the Jin Liao War, Tong Guan also made a major strategic mistake, causing the Jin soldiers to see through the weakness of the Song Dynasty, but that was later, and he had to stop the looming crisis first.
Not long after, Zhang Jiu was led in by the guards, and when he entered the house, he knelt down tremblingly, "Xiaomin participates in Taiwei!" ”
Tong Guan squinted his eyes and asked, "Are you from Youzhou Han?" ”
"Yes! The ancestors of the villain did not intermarry with the Hu people for generations, and the villain was a real Han. ”
"The real Han'er is not a pure bloodline, but whether he is willing to serve his homeland!"
"The villain is willing to work for the Great Song Dynasty."
Tong Guan nodded, "You went to Western Xia to do business, didn't you get embarrassed by the Western Xia people?" ”
"Hui Taiwei, the villain's great-grandfather has been engaged in the business of delivering goods to merchants for at least fifty years, and the border guards and people of the three countries know the reputation of Zhangjia Goods Company, so they will not embarrass us."
Tong Guan's eyes became more interested, what they lacked the most was this kind of caravan that could enter and exit the enemy country at will, he had sent many teams of scouts to scout sentry before, but they were all unfortunately defeated, Li Yanqing not only brought him an important piece of information, but also brought a caravan secret outpost that could be cultivated well.
Tong Guan smiled gently: "As long as you are willing to serve the Great Song Dynasty well, I can give you the title of father, grandfather, and official title, so that you can glorify your ancestors." ”
Zhang Jiu knelt down, wept bitterly and said: "This is the wish of every Han'er in Youzhou, Taiwei is very kind, Zhang Jiu doesn't know how to repay it!" ”
"Hurry up, I personally don't need you to repay, as long as you are willing to work well for Da Song, then you will definitely have a bright future."
Tong Guan called a personal guard and asked him to take Zhang Jiu down to rest first, and he would talk to Zhang Jiu later.
Zhang Jiu followed the guards down, and Tong Guan smiled at Li Yanqing again: "You have worked hard all the way, go back and have a good rest, don't worry about tomorrow, Qin Hui dares to drive you out of Taixue, don't think about him as an official, nothing will happen tomorrow." ”
Li Yanqing got Tong Guan's assurance, so he got up and saluted, "Student farewell!" ”
Leaving the Taiwei Mansion, Li Yanqing rode back to Taixue, in fact, Li Yanqing didn't care much about Taixue, for him, it didn't matter if he could continue to study in Taixue, what he cared about was how Tong Guan would use the information he provided him.
He was very worried that Tong Guan would not only not send troops to attack Western Xia, but would take advantage of the empty opportunity of Xijing in Liao State to attack Liao on a large scale, and finally make the Jin State fisherman benefit, if it really evolved into that result, he Li Yanqing would become a sinner.
Li Yanqing was uneasy in his heart, and returned to Taixue all the way.
........
Early the next morning, Li Yanqing was about to go out, but a person appeared at the gate of the courtyard, it was Xuelu Sun Li, he sighed and said to Li Yanqing: "I guess you don't know where to be questioned, I came to take you there." ”
Li Yanqing saw that his heart was gloomy, so he asked, "Is Mr. sad about my affairs?" ”
"It's not just your business, it's also for myself."
Sun Li let out a long sigh, "I was investigated by the Guozijian for a whole month, saying that I embezzled Taixue's property, and yesterday the conclusion came out, although I couldn't find any evidence, but I was still demoted to Qizhou as a doctor of Zhouxue, I struggled for 20 years before I entered Taixue step by step from a state school teaching assistant, but I was beaten back to my original form in just one month, this is fate!" ”
"Has Mr. ever gone to find Captain Tong?"
Sun Li nodded and said, "I went to him a month ago, but in his heart, I obviously didn't have enough weight, he said that he would try his best to help me, but in the end, ......"
Sun Li let out a long sigh, "I came to you, in fact, I just want to tell you a heartfelt word, if you can stay, it is not Tong Taiwei who is helping you, but Qin Hui has violated his vital interests, in his heart only his own interests, if one day you lose your use value, you will be abandoned like me, remember!" ”
