Chapter 641: Dare to Be an Angler
"What's so urgent?" Chen Guojun looked at his son-in-law Fan Wulao, who came to report the news, and asked with a smile.
"Yu Guogong, the former enemy army reported that the Song Army's water division has reached the Baiteng River, which will be unfavorable to the Beijing Division." Fan Wulao said a little anxiously.
Chen Guojun squinted, staring at the fishing rod sunk in the pond and the ripples around him, and he flicked the shaft, startling the water folds deeper.
Fan Wulao didn't dare to say any more, his eyes were firmly fixed on his father-in-law, who was still unmoving, and his heart was even more anxious.
"Bad for Kyoshi? Fifth elder, you are not young anymore, this body full of anger is uneven, you don't want to be the commander of the palace, go to the field as soon as possible. ”
Chen Guojun's tone was flat and he couldn't hear the emotion, but it made the young man break out in a cold sweat for a while, and he fell to the ground with a thud, trembling and not daring to move, listening to his father-in-law's teachings.
After hearing the news, although he was as calm as Mount Tai on the surface, Chen Guojun's heart was still shocked.
The Song Army's sailors have arrived at the Baiteng River? Will it be so soon?
Chen Guojun was quite confident in sending troops to attack the Song Dynasty, and he had made overall considerations about the possible reaction of the Song Dynasty.
After Jiaozhi became the king of Wu Quan to Li Huan usurped the title of emperor, he began to expand his territory, constantly advancing to the north and slightly to the south. Since then, the national policy of foreign aggression and expansion has been faithfully inherited and vigorously implemented by the successive rulers of Jiaozhi, and the history has been written for hundreds of years.
The external expansion of the Jiaozhi feudal lords was also different due to the different opponents they encountered. China to the north was a great power of the Celestial Empire, nominally the suzerainty of Jiaozhi, and the Jiaozhi Emperor accepted the Chinese canonization and fulfilled the obligation of paying tribute to the ministers, so the official history of China never recognized the lord of Jiaozhi as "emperor", but only called him "Wang (Shizi)". After the Song Dynasty, Li Yingzong, the sixth lord of the Li Dynasty, was named the "King of Annam", and changed Jiaozhi to Annam, and the name of Annam began from then on. In view of this, although the rulers of Cochin were greedy for the land in the north, if they brazenly invaded and directly confronted China, it would obviously be a snake swallowing elephants and unable to do so, so they would adopt the methods of unreasonable trouble, provocation and harassment, open contention and covert occupation, and encroachment on small pieces. When there was a dispute with the subordinate chieftains, the Song Dynasty of China, which regarded itself as the "kingdom of the heavens", was often blindly arrogant, believing that China was already "vast as such,...... Why bother to mobilize the people, (again) greedy for useless places?! Even if one or two are lost, "the wilderness and the wilderness" are lost, and "what is the damage to the kingdom?" So in the name of Huairou Yuanren, he actually "gave Qing (Jiaozhi King) the presiding officer" of the border of the country as he liked, and also said in the beautiful name "Obey Yuan Ziying Wende, why should Wuxi fight", it is stupid or pedantic, I can't say.
The ruler of Jiaozhi understood the psychology of the Chinese emperor who was so happy and loved to listen to sweet words, and often swore in the tribute table, "The minister dares not to act righteously for life, and he will be loyal to the festival!" The heart of gold and stone, the virtue of eternal lotus; Juan Aiqi repays, and rewards the grace of Haiyue", flattering the soup bowl after bowl, but behind the scenes, Kou Bian has committed more than one offense; Even for the nominal courtiers, it is a violation of the yang and the yin, and the commission evades. Like once the envoy of the Song Dynasty came to Jiaozhi to read the emperor's edict, "(Li) Huan did not worship the edict, saying that he had fought with Kou in recent years, and fell off his horse and injured his foot." Although the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was burned out by the corrupt Confucian ideology, repeatedly politely and politely to the "small country in the southern wilderness", he still inevitably suffered the pain of "the lackeys did not leave, but took a bite". Li Renzong, the fourth lord of the Li Dynasty, suddenly sent 80,000 troops to invade the Song Dynasty, captured Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Yongzhou, killed 100,000 border guards, and destroyed the city and plundered it. The Song Dynasty was humiliated by this and naturally sent troops to retaliate. The following year, the Song army counterattacked and attacked Jiaozhi, and the battle was quite hard, although the Song army defeated the Jiaozhi army at the Fuliang River, but it also suffered heavy casualties. Li Qiande was already restless, but what was even more alarmed than him were those corrupt and sour ministers in the Song court, and the bureaucrats were boiling in the sky, and they kept saying that Jiaozhi was "a miasma sea and a poor mountain, a mist and a poisonous abyss, and a flying worm fell into weak water, and wandered in the plague." In the meantime, it is inhuman. Although you can do it, what will benefit the world! The emperor of the Song Dynasty was already cowardly in the war, and when he heard the corrupt and abusive words of "if the heart is holy and virtuous, people from afar will naturally pay tribute, and foreign countries will naturally come to surrender", he immediately stopped the war and withdrew his troops, and changed to the method of "recruiting peace". …… The envoys who have been ordained, with the decree of grace, and the tyranny is endowed, that is, it is eliminated, and it will benefit my side, and it will always be a happy land. "The result is that China has the ability to speak in vain, and Jiaozhi has taken advantage of it. Taking advantage of the Song Dynasty rulers' mistake of poisoning the corrupt Confucian consciousness and not having a clear understanding of the border issue and not paying enough attention to it, the Jiaozhi monarchs and ministers gradually advanced northward and invaded and occupied one state after another, even if it was as small as a village and a village. This time, Chen Guojun sent troops to the north and penetrated more than 200 miles into the Song Dynasty, which can be said to be the most in the history of the Jiaozhi Dynasty.
The reason why Chen Guojun dared to do this was to take advantage of the war between the Song and Yuan dynasties. In order to prevent the Northern Yuan from moving south at any time, the main force of the Song army has been gathered in the north, and the southern Xinjiang troops are empty. If the Song army counterattacked, it was likely that they would advance by land and water, entering by land from Guangxi, and by water attacking Thang Long by the Baiteng River. Baitengjiang has always been a battleground for soldiers, and Chen Guojun has already arranged it in Baitengjiang, but the Song army came so quickly, it was still a little unexpected for him.
The Song-Vietnam border was full of swamps and poisonous snakes, dense jungles, and the environment was dangerous and harsh, making it difficult to pass, and it was extremely time-consuming to march from there. Although the waterway is faster than the land route, but the sea storm is unpredictable, more dangerous, since the Song and Yue exchanges, the Song water division has never appeared in the crossing, Chen Guojun is not worried, of course, the necessary defensive measures are still there, after all, there are two famous battles in the Baiteng River in history.
"I can't imagine that there are people who dare to be anglers among the Song people." The fishing rod shook faintly, Chen Guojun's eyes flashed with a favorable light, he shook his wrist, pulled up the whole fishing rod, he looked at the fat fish with melon seeds on the hook, and chuckled, "It doesn't matter, no matter how much the Song army comes, we are not afraid, we don't use sharp knives to slaughter, but sharpen with blades, and kill them inch by inch, until I Dayue has a bright way to live." ”
Fan Wulao was ignorant when he heard it, and when he heard the word "living road", he was even more shocked, and he didn't dare to answer.
Chen Guojun took the fish off the hook and gently threw it into the pond, splashing the water.
