But said that above the main hall, Emperor Daojun saw that the public had made a decision, so he said: "Since all the Qing families are ......" Speaking of this, Emperor Daojun paused for a moment, stopped his eyes on one person in the main hall, and said: "Huang Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Emperor Daojun said that this "Huang Aiqing" is named Huang Shang, the word is crowned Zhong, the number is Yanshan, and he is from Yanping. Huang Sheng is very knowledgeable, Yuanfeng is the first in five years, the champion and the first, and the tired official to the Duanming Palace. Emperor Daojun appreciated it very much, and in the first year of Xuanhe, he ordered the seventy-year-old Huang Shang to be responsible for revising the "Wanshou Daozang".

At this time, Huang Shang had just finished revising "Wanshou Daozang". Huang Shang in the revision of the "Wanshou Daozang", realized the profound truth of Taoism to cultivate qi and humility, but there was no teacher, and he got the method of prolonging life, at the moment he was over seventy-six years old, but he was not there, and he gave birth to black hair. Emperor Daojun also likes Taoism, and when he saw that Huangshang Taoism was exquisite, he was named a scholar of the Ming Palace, and he asked for advice in the morning and evening these days.

Hearing this, Huang Sheng took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, since we have already met the alliance before, and we have joined forces to attack Liao, it is a matter of time before we send troops." Emperor Daojun saw that Huang Shang also thought so, and said: "Okay, I will follow all the Aiqing." ”

His Royal Highness Huang Shang said again: "Your Majesty is slow, the minister still has something to say." Emperor Daojun said: "Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say." Huang Shang said slowly: "Lianjin to attack Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun is a major event that our dynasty has planned since Taizu Taizong. But after sending troops to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, you have to think about one more step, that is, as soon as the Liao State goes, my Great Song Dynasty will be neighbors with the powerful country of Jin. Guanjin State, although the establishment of the country is relatively short, but its lord Wanyan Aguda heard that he is quite talented, and can lead less than 100,000 people in the northern territory of Liao State, and destroy the Liao State in a short period of time, which shows his ability. The minister thought that Tong's Shumi army would go north and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, but the rest of the matter should be to prevent the southern invasion of the Jin State, and I thought it was very important! ”

Emperor Daojun muttered: "What Huang Aiqing said is extremely true. Cai Jing turned around and said, "Lord Huang, how can the Jin Kingdom ally with me to attack Liao, how can it be treacherous and attack our dynasty?" ”

Huang Shang said: "The old minister Mingjian, the beginning of the Jin State and the destruction of the Liao State is the time when it is strong, and its lord is a person with the ambition to expand the territory, how can he not prevent him from invading south?" For the Northland barbarians, how can there be the word faith? ”

When Huang Shang said this, without waiting for Cai Jing to answer, he turned to Emperor Daojun and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not against sending troops, but wants Tong Shu's army to go north, and he will definitely guard against the Jin army!" As the saying goes, if you pre-emptively set up, if you don't pre-prepare, how can you not pre-empt military affairs? ”

Emperor Daojun said: "Huang Aiqing's words are reasonable, then according to Huang Aiqing's opinion." The edict ordered Tong Guan's army to go north, but after the army went north to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, it should be guarded against the Jin army. "As soon as the official Chrysostom opened, all the ministers received orders from Cai Jing.

Hearing Bai Sheng say this, Sanniang smiled slightly, and couldn't help asking, "Huangshang?" This person is interesting, I don't know how his martial arts are? Bai Sheng was slightly stunned and said: "Lord, this Lord Huang is seventy years old and six, but he is a great writer, and he is quite famous for his poetry, but he is a literati and does not know martial arts." ”

Sanniang couldn't help laughing, and said, "Didn't you say that he read all over the Dao Zang and cultivated the Dao Method, and even his white hair turned into black hair again?" Bai Sheng said: "He has obtained the Taoist method of self-cultivation, prolongs his life, and turns black with his talent." Sanniang asked unwillingly: "You really don't know martial arts?" Bai Sheng said: "When I heard it, I didn't even dare to ride a horse, so naturally I didn't know martial arts." ”

Sanniang sighed secretly in her heart: "It seems that there is no Nine Yin True Scripture, and this Huang Sheng only understands the Taoist method of self-cultivation and qi cultivation and longevity." ”

After a pause, Sanniang said again: "Since Huang Shang was prescient, when the court reminded the Song Dynasty to beware of the Jin Kingdom, what about Tong Guan?" Bai Sheng shook his head and said: "Don't say that Tong Guan, that is, Cai Jing, did not mention Huang Shang's words when he drafted the edict. I think Cai Jing and his party don't believe in the Jin Congress's treachery at all, and they only have the immortal merit of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun at the moment. ”

Sanniang sneered: "I really don't know whether to live or die, it's not that there is no one in the Song court, but that the government is controlled by a ** minister." ”

Bai Sheng said again: "My lord, later the Song Dynasty left my Lin Chong's department, and there was still some controversy. Sanniang sighed and said, "Let's hear it." At that moment, Bai Sheng talked about the controversy in the Song court later.

After agreeing on the dispatch of troops, Cai Jing played again: "Your Majesty, although the military horses of the eastern road domain town were called to send Lin Chong's troops to the north, the spies came to report that the 30,000 troops and horses of the troops were all stationed outside Yanjing City, but they did not send troops to attack Liao. I also heard that Shandong Road sent many sea ships to take many people in Yanjing City back to Shandong Road for resettlement. The minister thought that this was a collaborator with the enemy, and he would be severely punished at the moment. ”

As soon as Emperor Daojun heard the town of Shandong Road Domain, he would think of the faint fragrance and the crisp and pleasant voice in that dark tunnel, and he thought about it for a while.

After Cai Jing said it again, Emperor Daojun came back to his senses and said busily: "What does Aiqing think it should be?" Cai Jing said: "The minister thinks that before Tong Guan's army arrives, Lin Chong's department should be strictly ordered to step up the attack on Yanjing City, if the department still refuses to attack, when Tong Guan's army arrives, he can teach him to lead the army to crusade against Lin Chong's department and exterminate it on the spot!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of Su Yuanjing, Li Gang, and Huang Sheng in the palace hurriedly said: "No! Cai Jing was furious when he heard this: "This Lin Chong's department, without the will of the imperial court, took the people of the Liao State to go south without authorization, and hoarded troops under the city, but did not fight with the Liao army, that is, the rebellion has been born, and this army should be exterminated on the spot!" ”

Su Yuanjing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of Shandong Road who are going south are all Central Plains businessmen stranded in the north of Yanjing, and this matter has already been reported by the ministers. As for Lin Chong's army and horses, he did not send troops to attack Yanjing, but only sent troops on the Shandong Road, the original intention was to meet the merchants and people, not to attack the city, so he only went to 30,000 military horses, and there were not many infantry troops, only more than 10,000 people, and the Liao army guarding Yanjing had 70,000 or 80,000 people. They could only stay on the side to prevent the Liao army from leaving the city. ”

Li Gang also said: "That's right, responding to the merchants and people going south is a righteous act to protect the people, why is it against it?" It was only because the imperial court and the Jin State formed an alliance to attack Liao in a hurry, the Jin army went south too fast, and many merchants in the north were trapped. ”

Huang Shang also said: "Yanjing is an important town on the south road of the Liao army, heavily guarded, the Jin army has been attacked by more than 100,000 people for a long time and has not been able to capture it, Lin Chong's department is only 30,000 horses, how can it be defeated?" Hoarding troops outside, it cannot be said that the military horses of Shandong Road Fan Town have rebelled. ”

Su Yuanjing even said: "I heard that Zhang Qing has sworn many times in front of the army and civilians, and this body will definitely not take the initiative to rebel against the court, if the court blindly persecuts, I am afraid that she will be forced to rebel." The affairs of the Xia Kingdom back then can be learned from the past. ”

Cai Jing said angrily: "Okay, if Tong Guan's army arrives in the north, joins forces and orders him to attack Yanjing, he may be ordered to attack Yanjing?!" Su Yuanjing said: "If it weren't for the inadequacy, the Shandong Road Army and Horse would definitely be ordered!" ”

After listening to Bai Sheng's words, Sanniang said with a smile: "Good Cai Jing, taking retreat as advance, he froze Captain Su with his words, and when Tong Guan's army arrives, if we are really ordered to fight against the Liao army, and we still refuse to send troops, then Captain Su will be difficult to be." ”

Bai Sheng said: "Exactly, although there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Lin Jiaotou, after Tong Guan's army arrives, he will definitely use the sword to kill people and teach our military horses to take the lead." Sanniang waved her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, my senior brother is no longer the head of the forbidden army back then, I have the right to arbitrarily with him, and after Tong Guanjun arrives, the senior brother will deal with him. At present, Sanniang wrote a letter to Lin Chong, and with his right to be arbitrary, he taught him to deal with Tong Guan after the arrival of the army, depending on the situation.

In May of the sixth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, Tong Guan led the Song army of 200,000 to the north and invaded Liao. As early as the first year of Zhenghe, when Tong Guan went to Liao, Yan Ren Ma Zhi befriended Tong Guan and offered the strategy of Lianjin to destroy Liao. This Ma Zhi is a native of the late Yan, a big family in the north of the Liao Kingdom, and the official is Guangluqing. Later, due to different political views, he was cut by the Liao State, so he hated the Liao State deeply, and when Tong Guan sent the Liao State, he offered the strategy of joining the Jin to attack the Liao, just because the Jin State was not strong at that time, and the Song army Liangshan, Tian Hu and so on were not peaceful, so they failed to succeed.

Later, the Jin army defeated the Liao army, Ma Zhi came to contact Tong Guan, Tong Guan introduced Cai Jing, and after Cai Jing's recommendation, Ma Zhi was given the name Li Liangsi by Cai Jing, and the family returned to the Song Dynasty. Since Tong Guan was about to destroy Fangla, in the five years of Xuanhe, Li Liangsi sent seven envoys to the Jin State, and reached an alliance with the Jin State to join the Jin Dynasty to attack Liao, which can be described as the alliance of the Song and Jin, and most of the credit is from the hands of this Li Liangsi.

Emperor Daojun also attaches great importance to this Li Liangsi, after the alliance between Song and Jin, he was given the surname Zhao, renamed Zhao Liangsi, and added Dr. Guanglu, this Tong Guan went out to the Northern Expedition, and this Zhao Liangsi also joined the army as a military aircraft.

After Tong Guan's army went out of the three passes in the north, he was full of ambition all the way, and Zhao Liangsi and others were also generally high-spirited. When the army passed by the golden beach, Tong Guan and the generals looked at the Li Mausoleum Monument that Yang Linggong crashed and killed, and saw that the blood marks of loyalty and righteousness on it were still there.

Tong Guan looked at it and said: "I think my Song army will go on another northern expedition, and this trip should be able to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, in order to repay the wishes of Yang Lao Linggong and other predecessors!" Zhao Liangsi said: "Exactly, now that the Liao Emperor is besieged in Jiashan by the Jin army, the Liao army is fighting separately, and it cannot be defeated, and my Great Song Army and 200,000 horses will march north, and we will definitely be able to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun with one drum!" "The generals on the side are naturally singing praises.

Up and down the Song army, not only the commander thought that the Liao army was vulnerable, but even the ordinary soldiers thought that this trip would be a very easy journey, and the Song army thought that the Liao army was dying and vulnerable, and the Song army was the army that had just won the crusade against Fang La, so there was a blind optimism from top to bottom. As the saying goes, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and soon the Song army suffered. (To be continued.) )
