Chapter 517: Plan ahead
"Zichuan, since you know the truth, why don't you go to the court to stop this?" After a pause, Zong Ze asked.
He didn't mean to ask Gao Feng when he said this, after all, he couldn't figure out Gao Feng's true intentions, and he just wanted to understand Gao Feng's thoughts.
Gao Feng smiled bitterly and said: "This time the army is bound to go north, even if it loses, it can't lose in the court, therefore, who do you say can stop this?" Besides, this is just my family's words, and maybe the matter is not serious enough to be that serious, what if the army returns triumphantly? ”
This is true, no matter what the outcome is, they dare not send troops under such foreign conditions, and the Great Song Dynasty has no reason to exist, so this battle must be fought. As for winning or losing, it is impossible to draw a definite conclusion, relatively speaking, the winning side still accounts for the majority, and everyone should still look at this matter optimistically.
The three of them didn't say much, but they all had a fluke mentality, just like all the Great Song monarchs and ministers, they all hoped that the army would return victoriously. Yes, once the army wins, the result will not only be a victory, but the harvest will be the barrier that the Han people have wanted for nearly two hundred years, and its significance is even more extraordinary.
Gao Feng naturally knew that his rhetoric was just an excuse, in fact, he knew that the result was a defeat, but he didn't want to change history in such a situation that didn't affect the overall situation, so he only pointed out some situations without giving real conclusions.
Whether he gives a conclusion or not, he must respond to the next development, otherwise he will inevitably fall into an irreversible situation in the future.
Gao Feng broke the calm and asked, "I don't know which of the three adults is familiar with Lord Liu and Lord Liu?" ”
As soon as his words fell, Zong Ze asked, "Are you talking about Liu Tao and Liu Zhongyan?" ”
Gao Feng replied, "Exactly." ”
"He is currently the staff officer of Xuanfu in Hebei and Hedong, and he hasn't been in contact with him for some days, so I don't know what Zichuan is looking for him?" Zong Ze asked.
It seems that Zong Ze and Liu Tao are familiar with each other, and Gao Feng said without concealment: "I want to ask him for someone, I wonder if Lao Zong can have face?" ”
"Who do you want? If it's too ......" Zong Ze asked puzzled, but he didn't dare to say it all.
Just before he could finish speaking, Gao Feng interrupted: "This is a nobody, named Yue Fei. ”
"Yue Fei?" Zong Ze glanced at Gao Feng suspiciously, he really hadn't heard of this person, but he didn't know why Gao Feng was interested in this person, of course, he was inconvenient to ask at this time, and responded: "Then I'll write a letter to Zhong Yan, if this person is really not an important person, I believe he will give me this face." ”
"Then thank you Lao Zong." Gao Feng stood up in surprise and thanked him.
He was pleasantly surprised. He has a lot of generals in his hands, but there are only a few handsome people, Wu Jue and Song Jiang, if he can get Yue Fei, his plan will go further, and he will naturally be more grateful to Zong Ze.
Of course, this is also a mistake. Yue Fei was defeated by Tong Guan and Liu Tao recruited "dare soldiers" when he joined the army, at that time he was just a squad leader, but it didn't take long for his father Yue He to die of illness, he rushed home to guard filial piety, and only joined the army again in the sixth year of Xuanhe, and came to Zong Ze's hands, which had a later glory, that is to say, a military relationship between him and Zong Ze may have to be concluded in advance.
Gao Feng's abacus is very fine, at this time Yue Fei is about to join the army, it can be described as a nobody, naturally no one will pay attention to him, Gao Feng is to use this opportunity to bring Yue Fei under his command, maybe one day this big killer will surprise the world.
Gao Feng naturally didn't know about these calculations, although they didn't know why Gao Feng was interested in a nobody, but they were too lazy to care, and if they could help with this, they would make up for the debt to Gao Feng, so they were naturally happy to do it.
After Gao Feng sat down, he continued: "The war in the north will have a great impact on the two roads of Jingdong, which are relatively close, and today while the three of them are here, let's make plans together." ”
As soon as these words were introduced, Zhang Shuye immediately agreed: "Yes, there is a war in the north, as a relatively wealthy Jingdong Road close to the border, whether it is money, grain or manpower, it is the main area for mobilization, and this matter should be prepared as soon as possible, otherwise the pressure will not be small." ”
Wang Shixin immediately interjected: "The war in the north, those refugees will also flee here, which will also increase the pressure on the two roads." ”
These are all things that can be seen, and they are not worth making a fuss about, Gao Feng gave them an approving look and said, "If this is all there is, it may be worse." ”
"Could it be worse? How bad can it be? Zong Ze asked puzzled. Although he has just arrived here, he also knows that Jingdong Lianglu has long been compared with each other under the various means of the peak, if everyone works harder, it is no problem to bear these two pressures, but he can't think of more problems.
Zhang Shuye and Wang Shixin also had this question, and couldn't help but look at the peak and wanted to hear what he had to say.
Gao Feng said worriedly: "Let's not talk about the victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army, let's just say defeat, have you ever thought about what the result will be?" ”
"It's nothing more than the class teacher returning to the court, what else can I do?" Wang Shixin replied.
"That's not right." Zong Ze seemed to think of something, and immediately retorted: "Then give the Jin soldiers the opportunity to attack Yanjing, in case the Jin soldiers defeat Yanjing......"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but hold his mouth shut and didn't dare to go on at all. Not only him, but also Zhang Shuye and Wang Shixin heard the voice of Xuanwai, and they were also stunned for a while.
"That's right." Gao Feng nodded, and said what everyone didn't want to hear: "The Jin people are not as good as the Liao people, they live by herding and hunting, they have no fixed residence, and their living materials are also based on looting, so they are very greedy. If they occupy Yanjing, see the prosperity of our Han people, and settle down to have a bad heart, then it may be the time to attack the south. ”
“……”
Silence, dead silence. Uncle Zhang and the three of them lowered their heads and fell silent, because they really didn't know what to say.
"What does Zichuan mean is that we should take precautions as soon as possible?" Uncle Zhang finally asked.
"Prevention is better than prevention." Gao Feng said in agreement.
"That's all there is to it." Uncle Zhang replied helplessly and worriedly. In fact, he hoped that the Northern Expeditionary Army would not disappoint, seize Yanjing as soon as possible, and return triumphantly. Is it just that this kind of thing can be gambled? In case there is a deviation, but as for the great things that the people are in the midst of fire and water, he has to worry.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gao Feng poured a basin of cold water on him, making him feel like falling into an ice cellar.
"That's not all, everyone knows that there has not been rain in this area for half a month, I asked someone to watch the celestial phenomena, maybe there is a big drought this year, that is, we have to prepare for the disaster."
