Chapter 361: Confession
This is a place in the west of the language. It has always been the use of force to overlook Yan, Huanqing, Hongdingxiao or Qin Fengxi River, there are dangers to defend, and the formation of troops cannot be done, and it is a big deal to rely on the terrain to consume him. Only this pass in the plain is difficult to do, originally, there is a ruin, Pujin Pass, Hangu Pass can be a battle. But the gold thief smuggled across the Yellow River, and these three levels became decorations. Foot Yan was supposed to be the front line of the fight against the Jurchens, and the terrain in northern Shaanxi could make people's heads dizzy. But Zhang Shen's knees on this donkey day were weak, and his mother lowered the gold! Straight sissy thief! Speaking of which, it is still the old department of the second uncle and his old man, and as soon as he surrendered, my brother's face was not blush! Xu Yuan was indignant and scolded.
"Anyway, don't talk about that. As soon as Duyan was lost, the Jin army had a foothold. The designation is to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them. Go straight to the Guanzhong Plain. It was a suitable place for them to advance on a large scale. If you fight a field battle with the Jin army there, it is called the shortness of the other, the length of the enemy, and the most taboo for leading troops. And so it goes. There is only one way left, gather troops, and rely on the high walls of Chang'an City to fight a defensive battle. But the chiefs of the divisions have not thought about it. Even if you keep Chang'an. And how? Hedong is estimated to be over. Lao Jiu has been tinkering for a few years, but he has also made a name for himself. But the righteous army is no better than our regular army after all, and the Jurchens are elite this time, and even his mother's sticky Han is personally in charge. Now, the Jurchens occupy Hedong and eastern Shaanxi, and the situation of the whole battle is very different from before
Xu Liang had been listening patiently, and couldn't help but interject here: "Where does this start?" "Once upon a time, the Jin army was going south to enter the Kou. First of all, we must gather the troops in the Yanyun area, and then wave the army south to fight a few Xiaoyue, and we have to go back as soon as the weather is hot or the food is exhausted. Now, the Jurchens gradually began to get used to the climate in the south, and also requisitioned a large number of Han Chinese to enrich their troops. There is Hedong and Langyan. Sticky Han no longer has to work hard every time to drive down from the north. Moreover, the grain and grass can be solved on the spot, and it is a big deal to get some from the east of the river. People will besiege you in Chang'an City and won't beat you. Consumed all the time. Does the ninth brother consume more energy than others? Xu Yuan sneered. No matter how big Chang'an City is, no matter how much grain is stored, it can't help but open hundreds of thousands of mouths to sit and eat empty.
Xu Liang listened and smiled faintly, although he was born in the imperial examination, he was a serious jinshi and first. But after all, he was born in a family with a deep military background. Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run? All of Xu Yuan's arguments. There are intermediaries. The premise is that Lao Jiu is fighting alone, and there is that Song and Jin have been in a state of war.
"Big brother's words are wrong, in the roads of Shaanxi, this is the only way to Zhang Shen, why be so pessimistic? .
Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile: "Sixth brother, you are often in Tokyo, and you don't know the situation in this place in Shaanxi. Huanqing Quduan, less than forty or fifty thousand horses in his hand. Believe it or not, if I give him a military order. Let him lead the troops to save Chang'an. He designated me when I was farting".
Xu Liang had already considered this. He even contemplated such a negative type as a curved end. simply let the Tokyo Left-behind Division come forward, collect his military power, and transfer him to Tokyo. Otherwise, if you do it absolutely, find something. From the beginning, he said that he had ill intentions and transferred him to Zhenjiang.
"Even if Qu Duan is unreliable, isn't there still a big brother?"
When Xu Liang said this, the smile on Xu Yuan's face disappeared immediately, and he said, "Sixth brother." Don't hide it from you, when I was transferred to Shaanxi to fight, I didn't say a word, what did I want for my brother? It's not because Lao Jiu is our youngest brother, he ran to Hedong, and I, as an elder brother, have to stand up for him for a while. But then what was that called? Qu Duan is a complete scourge, only caring about fire and friendly forces, fighting for power and profit, and pulling up tens of thousands of troops in a short time. Zhang Shen didn't even mention it. My brother is still wondering why there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the Sixth Road in Shaanxi. Our Xu family is the most unlucky, and if something happens, we have to be at the forefront? I, Xu Yuan, didn't get more food than others, right? ”
Xu Liang was silent. The eldest brother's complaint has already euphemistically indicated his attitude. That is. Don't do the lost business anymore. This made him a little anxious, and he no longer hid it, and said bluntly: "Big brother." My brother came to Shaanxi this time. One is appointed by the Tokyo Left-behind Division. He was the envoy of Shaanxi Province and inspected the soldiers and civilians on behalf of his father. Second, there are things that have to be explained to the brothers. ”
Xu Yuanxiang was still angry, and frowned: "You say." small
"As expected, before the end of the year, Zhenjiang will make a move. He Li, who has always been the main battle, was dismissed, and it was Wu Min who replaced him. As soon as Xu Liang's words came out, he thought that it would attract Xu Yuan's attention. But the latter hardly reacted!
The generals of Shaanxi, when the imperial court was still in Tokyo, already had the posture of a mountain high emperor far away. Not to mention that the Son of Heaven also went to Jiangnan. Because of the restrictions of the system, these people do not care about or are interested in politics, and all they care about is the food and salary of soldiers and horses.
Xu Liang had to make his words clearer: "It is possible that the imperial court will propose peace to the Jurchens."
Xu Yuan listened, shrugged his shoulders, snorted, and said nothing.
"Once Song and Jin negotiate peace, it will inevitably involve land and cities. Don't think about the two rivers, but Shaanxi can't let the Jurchens take advantage of it, right? My father often said that if the two rivers are lost, it is disgraceful. But there is still a chance to fight back.
If Shaanxi is lost, the Great Song Dynasty may only be beaten passively forever, and the Western Army may only be able to defend Shu after that, and it will be difficult to recover! Xu Liang said in a slashing manner.
"Hmph, it's not that easy. The others don't dare to say, as long as I don't go out. Stick to it. The Jin army may be able to get in, but it will definitely pay a heavy price! This price is definitely not worth the loss! Xu Yuan snorted.
Xu Liang's two sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the eyes of this hall brother. How do you always keep an eye on your own defense zone? You have to come out of the overall situation of Shaanxi and even the Song and Jin battle situation! Under the nest, how many eggs are gone? One must build on a firm foundation?
The two brothers were silent for a while. Xu Liang finally handed over the bottom: "Big brother, once Song Jin negotiates peace." Who does the brother estimate come forward to negotiate with the Jurchens? ”
Xu Yuan thought for a while and replied, "I'm afraid it's also the Tokyo Left-behind Division, and my uncle came forward." After saying this, he understood Xu Liang's intention. The cousin is mostly here to persuade himself to turn back and cooperate with Lao Jiu to fight a few battles, so as to increase the cost of future peace talks, so that the third uncle can speak more hard in front of the Jurchens.
Although he thought about it, he didn't show it, he wanted to hear what the only remaining elder of the Xu family was.
"Yes, my father has that in mind. That's why Xu Liang was sent to Shaanxi. Tell the truth. At the beginning, Li Xuanfu asked the Tokyo Left-behind Division for advice on whether he could give up the Guanzhong Plain. My father neither approved nor objected. But after that. When I received the news of He Li's resignation, my father urgently sent me to Shaanxi, precisely to choose everywhere and keep this important land no matter what."
This is very understandable, if Xu Shao comes forward to negotiate with the Jin State, and wants to be harder, the Western Army must behave on the battlefield in Shaanxi. If you retreat again and again, and give up all the Jingzhaotou in Shaanxi Prefecture, then what are you talking about? This is the political, military, and economic center of the entire Northwest! The Jurchens will definitely open their mouths and ask you directly for Shaanxi!
Xu Yuan didn't seem to have much enthusiasm, but just praised: "The third uncle is loyal to the country, which can be described as painstaking
Xu Liang was a little unhappy, but the person in front of him was, after all, his cousin, and the temporary deputy envoy of Shaanxi. He knows. If you don't say that important sentence, the eldest brother will be the same as the ninth brother at the beginning. will not make up their minds to stick to Chang'an. (To be continued)
