Chapter Ninety-Six: Teachings
This Qu Chong hadn't answered yet, but Xu Yuan had already said: "Shao Bao doesn't know, he is my cousin, and he is the ninth in the family." β
When the planter heard this, he was quite surprised: "Oh? It turned out to be Jiangmen Huzi, no wonder ...... "Slow, Xu Yuan is Xu Mao's only son, and Xu Mao has two younger brothers, whose son is this Xu Wei?"
At this time, Qu Chong saw this and added: "Shaobao, Xu Wei is Xu Zhangjizi." β
The planter was overjoyed when he heard this! Xu Zhang was a veteran general of the Western Army, and in his early years, he followed his uncle Chong Ge to fight on the battlefield, and accumulated military exploits, and was first known as the first fierce general of the Western Army! He often rode into the enemy line alone, killed dozens of people and returned, and his uncle relied on him so much that he even gave him the armor he was wearing. When he was edicted to be the king of Qin, he summoned the veterans of the Western Army, and he was the first to think of him. Later, Qu Chong reported that Xu Zhang was old and unbearable, and he was no longer the majesty of the past, and he sighed for a long time, thinking that there was no successor to the Western Army. I didn't expect his son to be so good!
The Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty was different from other forbidden army units. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the basic national policy of using force to control military force and promoting literature and suppressing military force was established. However, the Western Army has been guarding the border for many years and shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting the party. Moreover, the people of all ethnic groups in the western region live together, the situation is complicated, and the big family that needs to shake the situation is in charge, and most of the generals of the Western Army are sons inheriting their father's duties, and brothers are the last brothers, and they have been guarding generals for generations. Therefore, the Western army still attaches great importance to the concept of clan and family. Since Xu Wei is Xu Zhang's son, he can be regarded as from the Western Army. Immediately, he ordered Xu Wei to come to see him, and all the generals bowed their goodbyes and left.
Xu Wei was visiting the injured soldiers, and when he heard that Chong Shaobao had summoned him, he didn't think much about it, so he went to the big tent. As soon as he walked halfway, he met a thirty or so fierce general, Kong Wu's mighty general, squinted at him, snorted coldly, and brushed his sleeves away. Xu Wei didn't pay attention to him, and stepped straight into the tent, and saw that the Seed Master Dao was not on the top, but sitting on the bottom and waiting. Walk a few steps quickly, step forward and salute with fists, and before the words came out, the other party had already said: "Don't be formal, sit down." β
Xu Wei thanked him before he sat down, and the master looked at him carefully for a while, nodded frequently, and asked, "Your father and brother are both officers of the forbidden army, why are you only a village warrior?" "In the end, it is a military attachΓ©, there is no such set of vain scenes.
Xu Wei naturally couldn't say that I had my own plans to form the Xiangyong Battalion, so he replied: "When my father was in office, he had not yet reached the age of fifteen and had never received shade compensation. β
When the planter heard this, his eyes showed approval. Yes, not relying on the shadow of the ancestors, and breaking a way on your own, it is not common for such a young man to be in the official eunuch family. I asked him about the situation at home, and Xu Wei answered simply. Seeing that he was calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant, he appreciated the cultivation more and more.
After talking for a while, the conversation turned sharply and asked: "The Jin army invaded in two ways, and now the East Route Army has retreated, and the West Route Army is still besieging Taiyuan, what do you think?" β
Xu Wei thought for a while, and then replied: "The Jin army on the Western Road will also retreat soon, but not completely, and it is very likely that a long-term siege of Taiyuan will be left." "In history, the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty for the first time, and the Eastern Route Army did not attack Tokyo Buke, and when hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the Song army arrived, they forced the Song court to retreat north after suing for peace on humiliating terms. The Western Route Army also withdrew, but left a long-term siege of Taiyuan. Just because Taiyuan is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight, the strategic significance is extremely important. trapped Taiyuan, and also contained the entire northwest of the Great Song Dynasty. And the northwest is precisely the place where the heavy troops of the Great Song Dynasty are stationed. Now, although history has changed, judging the time and sizing up the situation, the Jin army will not give up easily.
The planter listened to it, was noncommittal, and when he was thinking about Xu Wei's opinion, he heard him say again: "Although the Jin army is retreating now, it will definitely come again within this year." β
With a shock in his heart, the seed master Dao hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" β
"This time the Jin army invaded the south, all the way like a bamboo, and regarded our army as nothing. It wasn't until you arrived with your troops that the Jurchens were a little jealous. The Jin army swept away the Liao State, just when the sun was in full swing, and this southern invasion had completely disrupted the deployment of our army, so how could it give us a chance to breathe? The truth Xu Wei said was neither profound nor obscure. But he came to this era nearly a thousand years later, and he was somewhat of a bystander.
After thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood the truth and thought it deeply. From now on, the peaceful days of the Great Song Dynasty are over, and in the future, I am afraid that there will be wolves everywhere, and there will be wars for many years, and there will be no more peaceful and easy days in the Central Plains. The Jurchens with a growing reputation are not comparable to the Khitans or party members who are in the waning mountains, and their army is so powerful that they have only seen it in their lives. I don't know how many vicious battles are still waiting for the Song army to fight. It's rare that this son has such insight at a young age.
"So, in your opinion, what are the chances of winning the war between the Jin people and our country?" The seed master asked again.
This time, Xu Wei didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Even if there is only one chance of winning, this battle will still be fought after all." β
The seed master pointed at Xu Wei and said loudly: "Okay!" We are the ones who lead the troops, where the righteousness is, although tens of millions of people are gone! If you don't have this courage, you don't deserve to lead troops! Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is not surprising, but if you don't have the determination to fight to the end, even if you are the elite of the world, the division of tigers and wolves, it is just an empty shelf! Jiangshan Sheji is already like this, and there is no other way than my generation of soldiers to fight to the death for it. But the old man is convinced that as long as the people who lead the troops in the Great Song Dynasty can make this determination, even if the Jurchens are fierce, it will be difficult to swallow the Great Song Dynasty! β
If it is an ordinary junior officer, when he hears the veteran of the army say this, his blood will inevitably boil and he will be arrogant. But Xu Wei was not the slightest excited, remember, this is the Song Dynasty. The national policy of using culture to control military force has never changed. It is an iron law that military ministers cannot interfere in politics. In other words, whether the war is fought or not, how it will be fought, and to what extent it will be fought, it is all up to the emperor and civil officials to decide. The person who leads the troops can only carry it out, and cannot say a word more.
Xu Wei had already learned from his eldest brother Xu Yuan that Zhao Ji was on the throne, and the crown prince Zhao Huan had officially ascended the throne. But judging from the historical knowledge he knows, his son is not much stronger than Lao Tzu. If you have to find out where Zhao Huan is better than Zhao Ji, it is a little shameful. After the Jin army forced him to accept the conditions of "respecting the Jin Emperor as his uncle, increasing the huge amount of coins, and ceding the three prefectures of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian", the young emperor was deeply humiliated and looked up to the sky and cried. Maybe he didn't expect it at that time, but just a few months later, Jin Jun appeared in front of him again. And this time, it was not as lucky as the last time, the Jin army broke through Tokyo, captured the second emperor and the clan, ministers, concubines and thousands of other people returned to the north. The emperor's ministers were deposed and suffered greatly. And the concubines of the two emperors were **** by the Jin army on the way north, and after entering the Jin Kingdom, they were even used as prostitutes and humiliated by others......
