Early in the morning, Zheng Zhi went to the Privy Council Yamen, which was in the north of the inner city, which was also the first time Zheng Zhi went to the highest military organ of the Great Song Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Tong Guan sent someone to summon him early in the morning, and Zheng Zhi also knew that there was something important, so he didn't dare to delay.

In front of the Privy Council, Tong Guan sat in the head, and on the left and right were Deng Xunwu and Zhao Liangsi, the rulers of the Privy Council, waiting for Zheng Zhi, who had just been recruited.

Although Deng Xunwu governs for the Privy Council, the Privy Council is at a very high level, and he is the highest official under Tong Guan, and even has the same powers as the Privy Council.

But this Deng Xunwu and Tong Guan on the matter of Lianjin attack Liao are not the same, Deng Xunwu is one of the few people who see this matter more thoroughly, he also said a sentence, the general content is that Liao is a state of etiquette to obey the Han culture, the Jurchen is a wild man who drinks blood, and it is better to be a neighbor of Liao than to be a neighbor of Jurchen. It means that it is inappropriate for Lianjin to destroy Liao.

But this is also in vain, Zhao Ji and Tong Guan have already made up their minds, and they can't be changed by Deng Xunwu.

Zheng Zhi arrived at the Privy Council, and while following the guards into the interior, he also looked left and right, but there was nothing surprising, and the shape of the other yamen was similar, and the layout of the office, from the central to the local, was similar.

The only difference is that there are quite a few soldiers and generals in this Privy Council. Zheng Zhi remembers the White Tiger Festival Hall, which is the most important place in the Privy Council. There is also a White Tiger Festival Hall in the front of the palace, which is the office of the Military Commission, and the main military meetings and military orders are issued from here.

The Tiger Talisman Token for the dispatch of troops can only be obtained from here, and this is the most heavily guarded place.

Zheng Zhi came in to see the three of them, and they met several times, Zhao Liangsi was an acquaintance, Deng Xunwu was naturally the first time to meet, and Tong Guan naturally had an introduction.

The four of them sat down again, and Tong Guan said: "Zheng Zhi, I called you this time, just because there is a military situation in the north to report, Yelu Yanxi has withdrawn the army, and more than 100,000 people have been chased by the Jurchens. The Liao State was defeated, and I waited for more troops to have a chance of winning, and I hurriedly called you to know as soon as I received the battle report. ”

Zheng Zhi naturally expected it, but he was not very surprised. However, Deng Xunwu was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Enxiang, how did the Khitan army of more than 100,000 be defeated like this?" When Zhao Zhongcheng came back from Liaodong, he said that this Jurchen was only more than 10,000 people, how could he win? ”

Tong Guan waved his hand and said: "Shi is also fate, the emperor of Liao State went to Liaodong, but Yelu Zhangnu took the opportunity to rebel in Shangjing, how could the Liao Emperor still be able to fight on the front line, so he had to return to Beijing to quell the chaos, so that the Jurchens had a chance to take advantage of it, and followed and covered up the killing, resulting in the defeat of the Liao army." It is also God who helps us, the defeat of Liao, and the crime of non-war. ”

Tong Guan has a military newspaper in hand, so he can naturally explain the development of things clearly. However, Zheng Zhi knew better that the Liao army was more than 100,000, and he couldn't get a bargain in a few battles with Agu, but suffered heavy casualties, forming a short-term stalemate, so he panicked when he rebelled in Beijing. If the Liao army can defeat the Jurchens, the 700,000-strong army known as more than 100,000 people will not be chased and defeated by 10,000 people when they retreat.

This battle also marks the rise of the female real style! Rising into a big force, from then on from defense to offense, the main force is fighting more and more, and will sweep through the Liao State.

Deng Xunwu shook his head and replied: "If Jin destroys Liao, it is still difficult to win if the weak Liao is a neighbor, and if the strong Jin is a neighbor, the consequences are really unpredictable." ”

Deng Xunwu's words shocked Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi heard the words and went to see Deng Xunwu, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and there were not a few anti-war people, but only Deng Xunwu could say such a word, pointing to the root of the problem. Others who oppose the war are all based on the argument that they are working hard and losing money, or they oppose it for the sake of opposition, where can they convince people. Only Deng Xunwu saw the crux of the matter clearly.

Tong Guan heard this, but he didn't think about it at all, and he didn't bother to answer, so he only said: "If the Jin people gain power, we will wait for the power, and this time the war will start, we must step up time to prepare, Zhao Zhongcheng should go to Liaodong again, set a date for next year's war, and attack the north and south at the same time, destroy Liao in one fell swoop, and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun." When the time comes, when we return triumphantly, there will be a great reward. ”

Zhao Liangsi got up and glanced at Zheng Zhi, there was a little unkindness in his eyes, and then he turned his head and said to Tong Guan: "The privy is above, and the lower officials will definitely handle this matter, and they don't dare to delay the fighter." ”

Tong Guan nodded, waved his hand to signal Zhao Liangsi to sit down, and then asked Zheng Zhidao: "Zheng Zhi, this time, when Zhao Zhongcheng comes back from Liaodong, the date of the war will be set. ”

For Tong Guan, there are three things, on the one hand, to contact the Jurchens, on the other hand, to train the soldiers, and on the other hand, to provide logistics. Only by repeatedly staring at these three aspects of work can we make the best preparations for this battle of attacking Liao.

"Enxiang, the matter of training the soldiers is very important, the lower officials should leave for Cangzhou now, so it is a waste of time in Tokyo, the time is urgent, and the training is not a day's work, please ask Enxiang to decide." Zheng Zhi is really anxious in his heart, even if he lives in Tokyo like this every day, he can't feel at ease, and only by returning to his own territory can Zheng Zhi feel at ease.

Hearing this, Tong Guan frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Alas... This matter is really difficult, you take 3,000 parts to Hangzhou, and return to the division immediately after exterminating Fang La. ”

Zheng Zhi was also hesitating in his heart, trying to recall the things in his memory, the rebellion of Fang La, after Tong Guan led the troops south, it was quickly pacified, and it seemed that the matter could be calmed down without himself. Thinking of this, Zheng Zhi said again: "Enxiang, Fang La's troubles are not difficult to pacify, the war is imminent, it is better to let the lower officials return to Cangzhou to prepare for the war." Otherwise, the next trip to the south, it will be two months to come and go, and it will take twenty days to go to Cangzhou, and then fight again, so many months have passed, so ... ”

Zheng Zhi was a little anxious, and his words were not finished, but the meaning was already clear.

Tong Guan naturally has some calculations in his heart, even if Zheng Zhi doesn't say these words, Tong Guan also clearly understands this truth in his heart, at this time Zheng Zhi said it, Tong Guan sighed and said: "Go south to suppress thieves, there are some things you haven't thought through, thieves are just one of them, Jiangnan is rich, you have a big gap in military spending, this time Fang La is in chaos, you take the troops to the south, there are many benefits." ”

Zheng Zhi really didn't expect Tong Guan to have such a layer of thought, and led the troops south, but it was also to raise military funds for Zheng Zhi. Raising troops by war and expanding the army by war have been the case since ancient times.

Zheng Zhi suddenly realized, and said: "Then the lower official will not wait for the grace to go, the lower official will go back to the camp to prepare, and go south early tomorrow morning to suppress the thief." ”

Zheng Zhi said this again, and he also knew that in history, the pacification of Fang La was originally Tong Guan personally leading the troops to recruit in person, and he swept the south with lightning speed, and even captured Fang La alive.

Tong Guan originally wanted to wait for the front of the palace to finish, and then personally lead the troops to the south, and then use the matter of pacifying Fang La to block the tongues of those who oppose it in Tokyo, and also prove to Emperor Zhao Ji that he was in charge of the army is right, and also give Zhao Ji a reassurance, so that he can sit more firmly with the Privy Council. At this time, I also knew that I couldn't wait, and I couldn't wait any longer.

"Go ahead, fight quickly, and don't procrastinate." Tong Guan still has a little regret, and there is a lot of helplessness in his words. Among them, they are also worried about Zheng Zhi, worried that Zheng Zhi will not have enough means and will not get much money. If Tong Guan went by himself, even the land in Hangzhou would have to be cleaned.

Zheng Zhi gave the order, and then arched his hand with Deng Xunwu, turned around and left. But he snubbed this Zhao Liangsi, Zhao Liangsi naturally felt it, and his face was naturally not good-looking.

This time, Zheng Zhi met Deng Xunwu, and he also had a very good impression of Deng Xunwu, this Deng Xunwu is really a smart person in Zheng Zhi's heart. In the Great Song Dynasty, only this person can see through the essence of things.
