Chapter 157: Another Problem
The hard bone of the Northern Han Dynasty, which once made Zhao Kuangyin, who swept the world, also collapse his big teeth, there is a saying that everyone in the world knows: The Northern Han Dynasty has three treasures: Khitan, Jiancheng, and Liu Jiye.
Today, if you talk about the national strength and military strength, Da Zhou is the strongest, but if you want to say that the first general in the world, it is this Liu Jiye of the Northern Han Dynasty.
At this time, Liu Jiye looked at the black and oppressive Zhaoyi army under the city so worried that his eyebrows could kill flies, this is the huge gap in the national strength of the two countries, when Chai Rong just registered, the Northern Han Dynasty could still take out 100,000 troops to touch him, but now in just seven years, people can beat their farts and urine with a casual festival, crying dad and shouting to find Khitan dad.
Thinking about this, he Liu Jiye asked himself if he was a man who stood up to the sky, and no one was convinced of marching and fighting for a lifetime, but he was obviously guarding the people in the city, but even the people in the Northern Han Dynasty had to poke his backbone, just because these Khitan fathers had to loot every time they came, more robbers than robbers, more cruel than the enemy army, I heard that the Great Zhou side has been the Holy Lord has come to the world, and this time the Zhaoyi army attack is also Qiu Wu, I don't know how many people are looking forward to their masters to surrender quickly.
Liu Jiye also thinks the same, if he can surrender to the Great Zhou, he will definitely rush to the front to fight the Khitan, this special thing is that many people in his family are actually dying under the Khitan iron hooves, but the special mother not only can't kill the Khitan but has to kneel and lick and call his father, every time he thinks of this, he can't help but want to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"General, Your Majesty said that it would be good for you to hold out for seven days, and in seven days, the Khitan reinforcements will arrive, and the enemy army will be broken."
Liu Jiye nodded expressionlessly, "Got it, go down." ”
Hearing that the Khitans are here again this time, Liu Jiye's heart is not only unhappy but full of sadness, he really hopes that these fathers will not come, so let himself keep guarding, even if he can't keep it, it's a big deal to stretch out his head and stab, and he will be a good man after 20 years of loyal death, which is better than being accused of being a traitor now.
At this time, the forbidden army of the Empress Dowager Fu has also been prepared, and this time the forbidden army of the three yas has all been brought out, with Yao Guangxiao as the military advisor, and Fu Yanqing as a privy envoy, in fact, it is equivalent to the commander of the three armies, this arrangement will basically not have any problems, and it is not very likely that the army will be in chaos in the capacity of Fu Yanqing's King Wei and the Queen Mother.
But as the saying goes, there are always more variables than planned, isn't it, before the troops are dispatched, bad news comes in.
"Report ~ 800 miles urgently."
"What's the matter?"
"Houshu sent Wang Yanzhao to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and Fengzhou was in an emergency."
Empress Dowager Fu was obviously stunned, Qin Hao, Fu Yanqing, and Yao Guangxiao were all stunned. Hou Shu sent troops? Did this Meng Chang eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall? Do you really think that if I beat a Northern Han, I will let you pick up my cheapness? Do you Wang Yanzhao really think that you are Zhuge Kongming, bullying our orphans and widows?
It is said that this should be a good thing, there is a very strange phenomenon in Chinese history, there must be Shu State when there is division, there must be a descendant of Shu, and there must be a Northern Expedition after the Lord, and I don't know if it is because Zhuge Liang's popularity in Shuchuan is too high, and there is one in the later dynasties, all of which are carved according to Zhuge Liang's set of molds.
Qin Hao doesn't quite understand where this kind of Northern Expedition came from, if you don't come out, you really don't know how many lives you have to lose to enter Sichuan with the natural danger of Shuchuan, and even as long as there are no political mistakes, it is almost impossible to break the sword gate with military force alone, but since you yourself put a good Xiongguan risk or don't defend it, and run out to find guilt by yourself, then don't blame us for harvesting people's heads.
No one takes Houshu's Northern Expedition seriously, Wang Yanzhao is notoriously brainless, he hasn't even been on the battlefield, but he takes the iron Ruyi all day long to compare himself to Zhuge Wuhou, this time he came out to find death and killed him in a battle, but this great thing is in the hands of the Empress Dowager Fu, it doesn't seem to be so good.
It is clear to everyone that any guard in the Sanya Forbidden Army plus a few local envoys can fight and win, but the question is who to send and what kind of battle will be made.
The best result is to destroy Wang Yanzhao's absolute main force after waving the division to the south, directly knocking down the Jianmen Pass, as long as the Jianmen Pass is broken, Hou Shu can be surnamed Chai in the future, since ancient times, Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, this is a big pie thrown by the heavens and just smashed into their mouths, if you don't eat it, it is really unreasonable.
But who can do that?
Now that the main force of the whole army is entrusted to the Northern Han Dynasty, the forbidden army will inevitably not send too much, mainly relying on the soldiers and horses of the local festival envoys, and if you want to dig people, you will definitely not be able to control the scene, Fu Yanqing is reliable, but he has to control the Northern Han side to deal with the Khitan iron cavalry that may appear at any time, at this time, the prestige of the two women in the army is not high enough, who can they send to attack? No one is at ease!
Or Qin Haoxian said, "Queen Mother, Tianyu does not take the blame, that Wang Yanzhao does not know about military affairs, when I was the emperor, I had a great kindness to the Houshu soldiers (Chai Rong once released 60,000 prisoners of war in Houshu), as long as the battle can be won, it is very likely to break through the Jianmen natural danger and fight a battle to destroy the country, so I suggest that a general be sent." ”
"The war to destroy the country? I.. I am now a general who can fight this war of annihilation in terms of prestige, qualifications and ability... Who are you leaning into? ”
"Check in front of the palace, Zhao Kuangyin."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Shangguan Wan'er blurted out, "Absolutely not." ”
Good guy, fools can see what the Queen Mother has done in the past six months, in fact, it is a core, reducing the power of the generals of the forbidden army, especially for Zhao Kuangyin, at this time you suggest that he lead the troops to fight Houshu? Aren't you kidding?
Especially those who know history, didn't they originally say that they would let Zhao Kuangyin go to fight the Khitan, but as a result, the soldiers under his command put on yellow robes for him when they went out of the city and walked around, what's the matter, and now they dare to let him lead the troops to the battle! This is no better than Li Yun, people have a good grasp of the soldiers under the opponent, as long as Zhao Kuangyin goes on the expedition, you will have no use if you bring a hundred prison soldiers.
Qin Hao knew that everyone would have such a reaction, and said: "I know you will have such a reaction, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, Zhao Kuangyin is the most suitable candidate."
"First of all, Zhao Kuangyin's ability and prestige are enough, although Wang Yanzhao is a straw bag, but the Jianmen Heavenly Danger is known as a one-man pass, and it is impossible to open it, and a peerless general like Zhao Kuangyin cannot seize the fighter."
"Secondly, this time Zhao Kuangyin led far fewer soldiers than the soldiers and horses in our hands, plus the Holy Lord descended from heaven, he does not have the capital to be added to the yellow robe."
"In the end, what this attack on Hou Shu is most afraid of is not what yellow robe is to add to his body, but he is afraid that he will not come back if he occupies Hou Shu, that place, as long as anyone takes tens of thousands of troops to put it in Jianmen, it is another Hou Shu country, and the gods can't get in, and with my understanding of Zhao Kuangyin, this person is eloquent and strategic, and what he wants is by no means to shrink behind the sword gate and be a dog guarding the land, I am afraid that it will be more uncomfortable than killing him, so with these three points, I think Zhao Kuangyin is the most suitable candidate."
When everyone heard this, they also felt that what he said made sense, but Shangguan Wan'er said: "Have you ever thought that if Zhao Kuangyin can really destroy Houshu, how can this great achievement of destroying the country be cured?" At that time, I am afraid that his prestige will be higher, and once the class teacher returns to the court, I am afraid that it will be a hundred times more tricky than now. ”
"Yes, so we have to bloom on both sides, he destroyed Hou Shu, we can destroy the Northern Han, if we can defeat the Northern Han and hit their Khitan godfather at the same time, the prestige of our Queen Mother will also rise, and we will still be able to suppress him when the time comes, whether to send Zhao Kuangyin, in fact, the key is not in the south but in the north, in the Queen Mother, can you break the Northern Han, I don't know if the Queen Mother has confidence?"
"This...
