Chapter 21: Silent Night Thoughts
The man was dressed in a bright light armor, his face was a little white, and he had a short beard on his chin, and the whole person looked a little tall and straight. As soon as Xiao Siwen saw this person, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Han Yin, you're here!" ”
"Han Yin has seen Xiao stay behind, everyone." The soldier who spoke, his bright eyes were looking around in the military tent, his behavior seemed a little uninhibited, but he was a little respectful to Xiao Siwen, and he had a cold expression towards others.
This person is Yelu Xuan, the word Han Yin, Khitan tribe, the grandson of Yu Yue Yelu Huolu, Xiao Siwen attaches great importance to this person, he is a delicate person, he knows that this person has the ability to govern the country, although he is a little dissolute in appearance, but his person's strength and talent are unlimited, he originally planned to recommend this person to the Liao Emperor Yelu Jing, but now the Liao Emperor is like this, isn't it a big talent and a little use.
Immediately, Yelu took off the helmet on top of his head, revealing his hair, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "Han Yin just came out of Yizhou City, and heard about the Song State sending troops to the north, I don't know if I can stay behind?" ”
"The scouts have told us the news." The woman said coldly.
Xiao Siwen glanced at Nuli with disdain, and he said: "I just discussed the withdrawal of troops and the return of the north in the military tent, I don't know if Han Yin thinks our army should return to the north?" ”
Yelu slanted when he heard this, his expression looked a little restrained, he had been in the army for many years, and he also knew some things in the army, so he thought about it quickly, and then arched his hand and said: "Everyone, and listen to me, although our army is now going south to fight the grass valley, and has gained a lot, but it has also consumed too much, the position is not stable, this place is extremely empty, not suitable for defense, I think our army should return to the north and recuperate in Youzhou for a while, as for the Song army, they will not appear in Yizhou immediately for the time being, Wait until our army is fully rested in Youzhou before attacking, that is the best time. ”
The rest of the people in the military tent also nodded when they heard this.
Xiao Siwen looked at Yelu in front of him with an approving look, and he said, "Han Yin is right, at this time, it is wise for our army to go back to Youzhou to recuperate first. ”
The woman pouted and said: "If this is the case, isn't it because I'm afraid that they will not succeed, if so, won't it slap the face of my Daliao soldiers?" How could Xiao Liushou say such a thing? What do you say? Isn't it? ”
"It's true, and now that's the case, so why bother?"
"A temporary concession is not weak, now going south is already disobeying the emperor's order, if our Liao army is buried here, the emperor is afraid that he will offend us, and now at this juncture, we have to walk on thin ice."
"That's not right......"
"Xiao Siwen, haven't you ever lost a battle? How can a defeated general be brave? ”
"You, you're slandering the old man!" Xiao Siwen's chest felt like it was blocked, and then he immediately fought back and laughed, "Nuli, can you, can you win the battle?" ”
"Me?" The woman was choked and couldn't speak, he didn't have any records.
Xiao Siwen stared at the woman with wide eyes, and he replied: "Hmph, this time the old man also made it happen, and the old man has the final say when he goes north." ”
"You ......" The woman was about to speak, he turned his head to look at the other party, but saw that the others were not listening to him, the woman's face immediately turned a little pale, and he felt that no one around him supported his point of view, as if everyone was wearing the same pants as Xiao Siwen.
"Yes, you guys! Since you all think he's right, then I don't have anything to say. ”
At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Siwen's mouth.
Feeling embarrassed in front of everyone, he resolutely got up, and then walked out of the military tent.
Xiao Abudi, who was sitting in the seat, glared at the departing girl, and then snorted: "Cut, it's just a dog, and you still think you're a human." ”
At this time, all the generals in the military tent laughed unanimously when they heard this.
When the maid heard this outside the military tent, he did not turn his head, but secretly pinched his fingers into the flesh, and a trace of blood oozed from the flesh and dripped on the ground, and then he walked away unconvinced.
After the woman came out, she was about to go back to her camp to recuperate, when she suddenly bumped into Gao Xun who came here.
Gao Xun was dressed in a round-necked robe covered with a mink coat, and he had seen Nuli in Yeluxian's mansion.
The woman raised her head and glanced at Gao Xun, raised her hand respectfully and said, "I've seen Gao Shuxiang, how come Gao Shuxiang has time to come here?" ”
Gao Xun said: "I have something important to see Xiao stay behind." ”
"Xiao Siwen?" The woman said coldly, "They are all in the military tent, so the senior minister should go as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you."
Gao Xun had already walked away, but the woman had a straight face, today's events made him very angry, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on Xiao Siwen.
He felt a little isolated, and he didn't know who to rely on in the court.
"Who should I go to?" The woman was stunned, and while thinking, she walked towards the camp.
The woman suddenly thought of a person in the court, who was now in Beijing, but the woman didn't know if she could honor him.
In the camp tent, Xiao Siwen, Yelu Xianzhen and the rest of the generals were just about to leave the camp tent, but suddenly they saw Gao Xun coming, and when several people saw Gao Xun, they immediately gave up their hands: "I have seen the cardinal minister." ”
Xiao Siwen asked Gao Xun, "I don't know what happened to Prime Minister Gao today?" ”
Gao Xun was full of helplessness, he has been dealing with the affairs of Shangjing recently, and what happened in Shangjing also made him a little unbelievable, so many Khitan nobles and Shixun children died, Gao Xun was also a little worried about his fate, and now Yelu Jing suddenly heard that Xiao Siwen of Youdu Mansion suddenly went south to fight in the grass valley, Yelu Jing attached great importance to this matter, and it was Ye Lu Jing who specially sent Gao Xun to the south, at this moment Gao Xun wrinkled his face bitterly, and cried: "Your Majesty already knows that you left the Youdu Mansion without permission to come to the Song Kingdom, this is not, His Majesty was furious and personally sent me out of Beijing, and as for the rest, I will talk to Xiao Liushou in person later. ”
Xiao Siwen looked around, and then said, "You all go down!" ”
Jerod and the rest of the generals had all withdrawn from the army.
In the entire camp tent, it was empty, and only Xiao Siwen and Gao Xun were left.
Xiao Siwen vaguely knew what Ye Lu Jing meant in his heart, he was not at ease with himself, and he sent Gao Xun south this time, but he still pretended to be surprised, and asked, "Oh, Gao Shuxiang, what did Your Majesty say?" ”
Gao Xun shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has always been competitive, so let me wait for the army to come out and let you go south to attack the Song Kingdom." ”
"Attack the Song Kingdom?" Xiao Siwen had a puzzled expression on his face, and then he lowered his voice and asked rhetorically, "Did he really say that?" ”
Gao Xun couldn't say anything: "Indeed." ”
Xiao Siwen was a little angry, but after all, the other party is the emperor of Da Liao, or an out-and-out tough emperor, if he violates Yelu Jing, he Xiao Siwen will lose his official position at the lightest, and lose his life at the worst, he suddenly took a breath, and after a long time, he still said to Gao Xun: "But now we want our army to fight hard with the Song army, this is a matter of hurting the foundation, why don't you go back to Youzhou first, and wait for the warm flowers to bloom?" ”
"That's what I told Your Majesty, but Your Majesty didn't listen, do you know his character?" Gao Xun raised his head, the top of the military tent was blown by the wind, and he continued, "You also know that the recent events in the north have made Your Majesty a little at a loss, Your Majesty is like crazy, and he is looking for a balance between the court and the locality. ”
Xiao Siwen felt a little funny, "He has always been like this, and he has governed the country in a mess, if it weren't for him, would my Da Liao be such a mess now?" ”
Gao Xun lowered his voice, and he said, "This sentence can only be said in private!" If it reaches his ears, your fortune and your life will be ......."
Xiao Siwen's fingers tapped on the table, "You can't even complain, Gao Shuxiang, why do I think you are a lot less timid now!" ”
"Guts? Can it be eaten as a meal? Gao Xun said.
Xiao Siwen was obviously a little excited, and the intensity of his mobile phone tapping on the desktop also increased a lot, "Hmph, doesn't what happened in the capital prove that he did it?" People are doing it, the sky is watching, if the way of heaven is violated, will God still bless him? ”
"It's not on your mind."
"So what?"
Gao Xun glanced at Xiao Siwen helplessly, he felt that Xiao Siwen's anger was a little too much, now is not the time to be hurt and angry, at this moment he suddenly raised his voice and roared: "Okay, let's not discuss this kind of thing now, let's talk about the deployment of soldiers!" ”
Xiao Siwen put his hands on his chest, leaned back, and said, "Bubing, that's okay, since Yelujing has made a decision, then I will follow it to the end." ”
Gao Xun let out a long breath and said, "That's what I'm worried about, but now I see that you have also agreed, so it's okay." ”
“……”
……
Gao Xun and Xiao Siwen discussed for a long time in the military tent.
In late January, at this time, in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, the lights of thousands of homes were very bright in the dark night, a spring breeze blew from the city wall, and the banner of the Song army was also fluttering in the wind.
Zhao Dezhao is in Han Derang's house tonight, called Xuelu.
On the side of the snow house, a little green in the corner of the wall was already blooming in the dark night, and under the candlelight in the room, Zhao Dezhao and Han Derang were sitting.
Since Zhao Kuangyin led the forbidden army to the north and Zhao Dezhao became a left-behind guard in Tokyo, Han Derang and others also secretly became Zhao Dezhao's hidden palace advisers, and also put forward their own advice in Kaifeng's government affairs and some military affairs.
Regarding the Song army's attack on the puppet Han, Han Derang was very much in favor of this.
According to estimates, the Song army is now about to reach the land of Hedong and Hebei.
At this moment, the weather is gradually becoming warmer from the cold winter indifference, and the snow and ice in the north are gradually melting.
And when mentioning the Liao State, Han Derang was extremely excited, "Now that the Liao army is going south to fight the grass valley, if they attack my Great Song Dynasty, they can attack this town, and if they can't attack it, they will make a detour and continue to go south." They were never afraid of being cut off. As we all know, the scale of Liao's troops is terrifying. It is said that this time they went south and did not carry grain and grass behind. ”
Zhao Dezhao said: "My Great Song Dynasty will only fight the Liao Kingdom for three months at most this time. ”
Han Derang said: "Yes, we want to cut off the grain route of the Liao army." In the battle of the Liao State, the transportation of grain supplies in the rear should be just an auxiliary means like beating grass and valleys, and their weapons do not need to be supplied, and each person only carries four bows and four hundred arrows on his body. ”
"I see, thanks to Brother Han's reminder."
Han Derang said: "This time, the sixteen states of Shannan and Shanbei will not be recovered for the time being, and in the future, there will be such a battle between my Great Song Dynasty and the Khitans of the Liao State." ”
"What Brother Han said is very much, when the puppet Han is merged, the day has come to send troops to the sixteen states of Shannan and Shanbei." The next moment, Zhao Dezhao was a little worried, and he said, "It's just...... The land east of the river has been steep since ancient times, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although I am in Kaifeng, my heart is in Hedong and Hebei. ”
"Your Highness may be overly worried, if it was half a year ago, this situation was estimated to be difficult, but now it is much easier."
Zhao Dezhao heard Han Derang's confident look, and he asked rhetorically, "Why?" What is Brother Han's opinion? ”
"Your Highness, Han Mou has no high opinion, only humble opinion, and there is only a blood in his heart to serve the court, can His Highness know the situation in this pseudo-Han Dynasty?"
"I know a little bit about this, I don't know what Brother Han is referring to?"
"Seize the heir and fight with the party."
"Party strife, but what does this Brother Han refer to?"
"Guo Wuwei and other pseudo-Han courtiers, now Guo Wuwei is hot, but there are some people in this court who are dissatisfied with Guo Wuwei, although they are superficially dependent on Guo Wuwei, but in fact they are charming, each of them is just a camp."
"Hedong doesn't know how it is now, he may be watching the struggle between my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, for them, surviving in the cracks, and getting stronger a little bit is the priority."
