Chapter 243: A Matter of Perception

Erfei Zuo Lao. He Guan no longer held the shelf of the six-way system. Old, he asked in a rather calm tone: "Since you left Beijing." I haven't seen you for a long time. Can you and September go well? ”

Xu Wei nodded: "Thank you for asking the minister, everything is fine." ”

"In September, my parents died, and I was alone. It's pitiful to think about. Now I am married to you. It's also her creation, so let's treat her well. I, as an uncle, am relieved He Guan patted Xu Wei on the shoulder and said. He also knew that Zhang Jiujiu didn't have a good life in He Mansion at the beginning, and now he married into Xumen, so he was afraid that Xu Jiu would know what happened to Jiu Jiu and what he thought of the He family. Even bring this sentiment to business.

Zhou Guan's idea is not without reason. A few days ago. Xu Wei followed Qu Duan to Jingzhao and offered a strategy to plot Hedong. He can tell himself directly, why did he bypass me and go to Li Gang?

Xu Wei agreed, and he didn't say much. Seeing this, He Guan asked, "Why do you insist on letting the Hedong Righteous Army take the lead?" ”

"The control of the prime minister is not to take the lead, but mainly rely on the rebels." Xu Wei once again clarified his opinion.

He Guan glanced at him twice, and chuckled: "Xu Jiu, although you are the head of the Hedong Righteous Army, don't expect too much from those people. After all, what is the Rebel Army in Tokyo's eyes? It's not much different from a thief. The imperial court decided to support the rebel army this time, are you really willing to be an official? Isn't that the result of Shaozai He Li's efforts to fight for? The officials didn't take it seriously at all. Left and right is a matter that costs a few dollars, and it is not worth pestering all day. ”

Xu Wei heard what he meant, that is, I, Xu Jiu, as a general manager, didn't want to support the righteous army, so he said: "I have no other ideas for my humble position." Instead, this time it is better not to directly intervene in Hedong, and the western army should not intervene directly.

He Guan frowned, how did you say this? The imperial court pays six or seven percent of the taxes to raise soldiers, what is the picture? Now that the eastern half of Hedong has fallen into the hands of thieves, the western army will not fight, is there such a reason?

"The system is in order, and Song Jin is now under the constraints of Jingkang's collegiality. In fact, everyone understands in their hearts that this paper collegiate agreement is just a piece of paper, and both sides want to use this paper to win a few years and accumulate strength in order to fight again. If the troops are sent to Hedong this time, with the righteous army as the main force, even if the Jurchens want to intervene, they must consider whether it is worth it. But if the Western Army directly attacked it, the nature would be completely different. The Jin people are determined to send troops. Even if it is recuperating and recuperating, what Xu Wei said is exactly what Ma Kuo advocated at the beginning. Li Zhi transferred the main force to fight Hebei. Then the rebels would be able to advance a big step further north. And the Jurchens didn't take the rebels into account at all, and when the time came, they had to deal with the endgame left by Li Zhi and Gaoshi, and hundreds of thousands of people in Hedong just took advantage of this gap to show their strength. After two or three years, the rebel army has reached a considerable scale, and I believe that the Jurchens have also relieved themselves. Prepare to go south again. And then, what will it be like? The main battlefield of Song and Jin is not in Shaanxi, not in the Central Plains, but in Hedong! The Jurchens were restrained by the Western army in front of them, and harassed by the rebel army in the back, which was the most beneficial to the Southern Dynasties!

The strategy designed by Ma Kuo allows Da Song to exchange the maximum space for the minimum cost! The rebels did not have a penny of military salaries, and the grain and grass were all reclaimed by themselves, and the imperial court hardly had to spend any resources, at most, they would seal some official titles. It's just a morale boost. And so it goes. The rebel army occupied the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and would not fall into the hands of foreign enemies, so how could it grow stronger and prepare for the future resistance to the Jin State and go south again. Why not? Ma Kuo? Ma Zichong? After listening to this, He Guan didn't seem to be very interested in this far-sighted plan. On the contrary, I was surprised by the friendship between Xu Wei and Ma Kuo, do you know. Who caused this woe of the Jurchens? It's the father and son of his Ma family! Why did he abandon his official position and prefer to wander the rivers and lakes? That's because he knows in his heart that it's not as good as him to come back. Ziang, you are the future of iron and gold, and your name is the same as Yao Pingzhong and others. were all recorded on the forbidden screen by the officials. In both public and private, the official advises you not to talk to such people

After finishing speaking, seeing that Xu Wei was silent, he was afraid that he would not listen, so he added: "Also, you and I are both military ministers, and we don't have to worry about the rest." ”

What this means is that collegial consultation restricts Yunyun, that is a political matter, and we who lead troops only have to fight, and don't think about anything else. But the problem is that politics and the military never exist in isolation. The military is the continuation of politics, and if we do not see the political situation clearly, what is the difference between relying solely on military struggle and fighting blindfolded?

But He Guan said it to this point, and there was no need to talk about it again. Who called someone to be in charge of the military power of the Six Routes, and he was not even a commander of the First Road? Xu Wei bowed to the commander who had brought him to this teaching, and withdrew from the tent.

Against the scorching sun overhead. Looking at the soldiers in the camp, Xu Wei sighed secretly. Although he is now twenty-four years old, he is still preparing to be a thrifty envoy, but his status is still not high enough, and his power is not big enough, and he is always tied. Sometimes I think about it in a very angry way, it is better to go to Hedong to fight with Ma Kuo's gang of rebels. You can do whatever you want, and no one is happy to recommend you.

In the fifth year of the first year of Longxing, Li Zhi rushed to start before the Jurchens established Gao Shiyou as the emperor, and suddenly it was difficult to gather a large number of troops, known as 120,000. Mainly through the Taiyuan border to attack Zhending. Gao Shiyou never expected Li Zhi to come to such a hand. And his henchman Gao Xiaogong led a large army to fight a decisive battle with Xu Zhang, so the Li army was like a bamboo all the way, and almost did not encounter major resistance, and went straight to the city of Zhending. Gao Shiyou was shocked, and on the one hand, he sent people to report to the Jin State urgently, and called Gao Xiaogong back, but on the other hand, he closed the four doors and held out. Li Zhi ordered the whole army to attack the city with all his might, and declared that those who captured the high world by their fathers and sons would be rewarded heavily.

At the same time, the troops led by Gao Xiaogong were engaged in a bloody battle with the Shandong Army and the Hebei Army in the territory of the Daimyofu. At the Maling Road crossing, Xu Zhangfu subdued Xu Hong, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others, and Gao Jun pressed forward step by step, and sure enough, he was ambushed. The two armies fought from morning to afternoon. Gao Jun was finally defeated. The whole line was defeated, and the Hedong Zhaofu Division controlled Yue Fei. In the midst of the chaos, a gun shed in the left rib of Gao Xiaogong. If it weren't for the desperate rescue of his subordinates, this Gao Shiyou's clan brother would probably have become a ghost under Yue Fei's gun. After the retreat of Gao's army. Xu Zhang's troops covered up and chased all the way. The soldiers and civilians of Hebei were ecstatic when they heard the news and responded one after another, thinking that they would fight all the way. Go straight to Gao Shiyu's old nest Zhending Mansion. But when the Song army chased to Xiajin County, the whole army suddenly stopped. It was the night of the day. The fire withdrew to the Daimyo's Mansion again. Time. The soldiers and people of Hebei were shocked, and the rumors were all around,
