Chapter 633: Choosing and fighting, no desire to die
Wanyan nodded and said slowly: "Zheng Zhi must have to move, and those iron armors that appeared on the Gubei Pass are an omen. At this time, my Dajin's army was all in Goryeo, and the people sent by Zheng Zhi to Goryeo were all party members. Zheng Zhi is a person, the city government is deeper than I imagined, and the things before and after are all planned and then moved. ”
Wanyan Aguda thought too much, but he was also crooked, Zheng Zhi really planned activities. Attacking Goryeo with the Jurchens obviously had a lot of scheming behind them. It's not that Ah Guda is not smart, but Zheng Zhi has more than 1,000 years of insight and vision.
Wanyan Wu begged for a bad face, and said in his mouth: "Isn't this Zheng Zhi trying to go out of the customs to attack my Dajin at this time?" Transferring our army to Goryeo, so fast that we can march north and drive straight in, I am afraid that the capital will be in danger. ”
Wu Qimai also thinks it makes sense, if Zheng Zhi goes north at this time, he can really catch Jurchen off guard.
But Ah Guda thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, if Zheng Zhi wants to go north, he will not increase his troops at the Gubei Pass first, so wouldn't it warn me to wait?" If I were Zheng Zhi and wanted to go north, I would only be ready when I suddenly swarmed out of the pass, so that I could have an unexpected effect. Besides, my Jurchen army is in Goryeo, even if Zheng Zhi is allowed to occupy some cities, it will not take long for the army to come back to help, and it will still be a bitter battle between the two sides at that time. Zheng Zhi, like us, is not sure of victory, and will not start a war easily. ”
"Then who is Zheng Zhi going to war with? The party has been wiped out, and half of the grassland has been occupied by him, so Zheng Zhi is going to war with the court of the Great Song Dynasty? Wu Qimai is not a stupid person, so he can guess a rough idea.
Ah Guda nodded again and said: "Nine times out of ten, this is the case, Zheng Zhi's worries are just the Great Song Dynasty." The flaw of my Daikin is the lack of population. This time the war in Goryeo is going well, and I, Daikin, am about to ask for population restrictions. Then Zheng Zhi must also get rid of his worries, otherwise he will have more constraints than us. It seems that Zheng Zhi is going to lead his troops south. ”
When Wu Qimai heard this, he stood up, paced a few steps and said, "Big brother, such a good opportunity is in front of you, when there is a trade-off... ”
Wu begged for the words, this trade-off, is the trade-off between Goryeo and Jurchen. Zheng Zhi went south, and the rear was empty, which was an excellent opportunity.
Ah Guda sighed and said: "Choosing and taking, that is, taking has not been obtained, how can you give up." If you don't have enough slaves, how can you compete with the heroes of the world. The affairs of Goryeo cannot be stopped, but the affairs of Zheng Zhi cannot be as he wishes. When the quick adjustment is not to bring more than 10,000 people back, first outside the Gubei Pass, first send people to sneak into the north of Yanyun River to inquire, whether to fight or not, and then to decide. ”
The strategy of Ah Gu has been revealed.
Don't fight or not, but this gesture comes out first, if Yan Yun is really empty, he will not hesitate. If there is no war, it will also put pressure on Zheng Zhi, so that Zheng Zhi will not be able to go well, it is to make Zheng Zhi unable to get rid of his worries, and it is also to prepare for war with Zheng Zhi in the future.
Wu Qimai heard this, took the teacup in Ah Guta's hand and put it on the desk, turned his head to find a pen and paper, and began to write an official document in front of Ah Guta, and asked him to bring ten thousand horses back to threaten the Gubei Pass.
At this time, he had already crossed the Yalu River and entered the area north of the Seekaido of Goryeo, and he was about to come out of the mountains, and if he crossed the Seekaido, he would not be far from Beijing. The other way of Wanyan Lou's room is on Jiaozhou Road, and he is also heading to Kaijing. The Jurchen army of more than 40,000 people went south in this way, preparing to encircle and open the capital.
If you can't return to the army, the western road will be in charge of Sticky Han, and there will be less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the speed of the attack will be slowed down.
At this time, if he returned to the division, he would inevitably bring back countless slaves, and if he was stationed outside the Gubei Pass, the Jurchen army would not really be only 10,000, but at least 20,000 or 30,000 Goryeo young and strong slaves.
Outside the city of Huazhou, the morning sun spreads the earth, and the drum beats again. The soldiers were already wearing only a single coat, and the single coat was covered with iron armor, so it did not look cold. It's already May, and the real summer is not far off.
Time is passing faster and faster.
Gai Yi held a spear and once again stood at the forefront of the military formation.
Ruda held the sword in his hand and paced back and forth on the high platform.
Cao Ding, with hundreds of cronies under his command and thousands of Tokyo forbidden troops, also went to the city. Now that the Great Song Dynasty lacks military generals, although Cao Ding, as a descendant of the founding general Cao Bin, he has no real qualifications for promotion, so he also wants to rely on this battle to make his name appear on the desk of the official family.
In today's imperial court situation, as long as the enemy retreats in one battle, Cao Ding will inevitably be able to soar, because the previous defeat was too bad, if Cao Ding can win, he will also defeat all the generals in Tokyo.
Loyalty sometimes comes with desire.
20,000 iron armor, besieging the city, today is not the main attack. Instead, they attacked from all sides, mainly attacking the north gate and the east gate. This decision was also made after Luda beat his horse and ran around the city for a few laps.
The Great War of Huazhou has begun, and the Cangzhou ironclads continue to flock to the city.
Outside the north gate, Gai Yi and the men of the Western Army who escaped from Tokyo with hundreds of numbers have become the front line of the siege.
On the official road in the north, the breeder galloped to the south with dozens of knights, one person and three horses, constantly rotating and non-stop.
After Li Bangyan came back from the court, he was uneasy, although he said the first thing in the court, there were generals everywhere, and reinforcements everywhere. However, it could not hide the fact that there were not enough guards in Tokyo at this time.
Li Bangyan remembered another person, this person is the only person in Tokyo who can still make strategic plans.
Li Bangyan didn't wait long, got up early in the morning, and hurriedly went out to Tongguan Mansion to ask for a meeting.
This time, Tong Guan didn't pretend to be sick and bedridden again, but just lay on the rocking chair in the courtyard with a lazy appearance.
When Li Bangyan came in, Tong Guan didn't even get up to salute, but just said that he was physically inconvenient. Wu Ze beside him was waiting for tea and the like.
Li Bangyan didn't ask much, and after seeing the salute, he said: "Master Tong, now the overall situation is not good, and there are many dangers, so I want to ask the Taishi a few more countermeasures." Zheng Zhi of Hebei, once again raised troops to the south, already has the heart of usurpation, Taishi has been in the battle array for many years, can make good decisions, strategize, and ask Tong Taishi for more advice! ”
Li Bangyan is courteous and thoughtful, and his attitude is even more modest.
Tong Guan looked up at Li Bangyan, waved his hand and said, "If you want to talk about the battle formation, there are too many poor teachers." To be able to achieve these feats in the northwest also depends on the support and assistance of the planter Dao and others. The war is also their decision. A certain palace eunuch was born, where do you know how much about the battle array. Lee Sang-sang has won the award. ”
At this time, Wu Ze on the side heard this, and his originally worried look was much more relaxed. Thinking about this, Wu Ze also has a personal position, and Wu Ze's position is Zheng Zhi. This is evident in this change in expression.
Li Bangyan hurriedly said: "Taishi, now is not as good as before, now this Zheng Zhi is fully prepared, that is, he wants to turn the world upside down, how can this one hundred and sixty years of the Great Song Dynasty be in the hands of thieves." I also asked the Taishi to make a speech or two, and the lower officials represented the official family and the people of the world to thank the Taishi for his kindness. ”
Tong Guan's face was obviously not good-looking, so he heard Tong Guan say: "Even the seed master Dao also died in the palace, and this matter was spread in Tokyo, and the people who planned to fight died in vain, but they came to ask me a eunuch." Li Xiang, I don't know how you became an official in this court. ”
Tong Guan's words have the meaning of sarcasm, and sarcasm is also Tong Guan's inner resentment, Tong Guan and the teacher, after all, they have known each other for many years. Tong Guan is even more dependent on the seed master Dao and others to have today. The death of the Seed Master, how could Tong Guan not be angry.
Li Bangyan hurriedly got up and took a few steps forward to explain: "Master Tong is not allowed to listen to the rumors in the market, if you want to say that the death of the prince is that he committed suicide in front of the official family, and there is no murder in the slightest. The official was on the spot, and saw with his own eyes that the prime minister was killed on the case. The official family did not force him, and the lower officials did not embarrass him. The Taishi has a discerning eye. ”
Li Bangyan's attitude couldn't be better, and he really has a bit of the meaning of being able to bend and stretch.
Tong Guan squinted at it and laughed lightly: "Hmph... The seed master is probably old and confused, that is, he wants to seek his own death. That's right! When people are old, they always have to be confused. ”
Li Bangyan couldn't hear Tong Guan's irony, and hurriedly said: "Taishi, this matter involves the Emperor and His Majesty, and I really can't explain too much, but Tong Taishi must believe in the lower officials, and the real fault of this matter is not in the imperial court, let alone in the official's family." ”
When Tong Guan heard this, he supported the armrests with both hands, and Wu Ze also hurriedly came to help, so he sat up straight. He said in a deep voice: "No one else knows about this matter, but can you hide it?" For the sake of authority, you trap the teacher in injustice. The seed master is loyal, but he is played with by you. Lee, what a good strategy. Now that his wish has been granted, he wants to have no one to lead the enemy. If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? ”
Tong Guan finally couldn't help but say the unhappiness in his heart.
Li Bangyan's face was already cloudy, and he looked at the planter and was silent for a long time. When some things are told to your face, it is also an expression of attitude. At this time, no matter what Li Bangyan says, this Tong Guan probably will not be as Li Bangyan wishes.
I heard Li Bangyan speak: "Master Tong, do you know where you are?" Do you know who is in charge of the court now? If you sympathize with that kind of teacher, I wonder if you have the heart to die like a teacher? ”
As soon as Li Bangyan's words changed from his previous humility, it was a threat, and if it was soft, it would be hard.
When Tong Guan heard this, he looked at Li Bangyan with sharp eyes, and actually stood up by himself, took a few steps forward, walked steadily, and said straightly: "The old man's coffin has been built, the grave has been dug, and the incense has been entrusted to someone." You are a vertical child, what kind of thing, how dare you bark like a dog here. The old man died a few days ago, but the bridge has not been crossed, so I will be waiting for you to meet! ”
No desire is no desire, and no desire is rigid. How can you be afraid of heart death!
Li Bangyan was furious when he heard this, and said: "Gelding, do you think that now is still the head of the head, or when you are in charge of the army?" If you seek death with all your heart, you will be fulfilled by what you are. ”
"Everyone in the world scolds a certain steer, but it's ridiculous that you, a child, still come to the door to beg for a gelding. Annoyance and anger are also your last sorrow. I don't send it! As soon as Tong Guan's voice fell, he waved his big sleeves and turned around and left.
"Okay, the prime minister will enter the palace now, and you will be fulfilled today." Li Bangyan was so angry that his whole body trembled and walked away.
Wu Ze hurriedly took a few steps to keep up with Tong Guan, his heart was in a hurry, and he said, "Taishi, why do you offend the villain." The big thing is not good, the Taishi quickly changed his clothes, and the small one will take you out of the city. ”
Hearing this, Tong Guan stopped, looked at Wu Ze and said, "Wu Ze, you have been guarding for many years, and you have always been loyal. Today has reached such a point, that is, a certain person can't stand you. A certain also knows that you have a lot of dealings with Zheng Zhi, if you are invested in Zheng Zhi, you will also be reused, and you will be relieved. Let's go, I'll wait at home for Li Bangyan to come again. ”
Wu Ze's face was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, and he was more confused by Tong Guan that he was doing things for Zheng Zhi, and this matter was still a little hidden from Tong Guan, but Wu Ze said again: "Taishi, why fall into the hands of villains here, the small one will definitely be able to protect Taishi out of the city safely." His Royal Highness King Yan treats the Taishi like a father, and he will definitely not let the Taishi be wronged. ”
Tong Guan sighed when he heard this, and Zheng Zhi's appearance appeared in his heart, but he shook his head and said, "You go, if you go out with you, you won't be able to leave." At this time, there must be an eyeliner left by Li Bangyan outside the door, and he can't go out of the city. The Emperor Taishang has been imprisoned, and now the court has nothing to do with me. Even if you die first, you won't see those floods, and you won't be entangled in loyalty and righteousness and so on. Just die! ”
After Tong Guan finished speaking, he didn't allow Wu Ze to say more, and went straight into the study, but when he turned around, he closed the study again.
Only Wu Ze was left outside the door, looking anxious, but he didn't know what to do, should he go first? It's better to wait for Tong Guan to figure it out and persuade a few more words.
