The sun rose on the third pole, and Tong Guan, who was injured yesterday, slept on the couch for a day, and was very tired, and ordered several eunuchs to serve and get up.

The little eunuch who was waiting next to him persuaded: "Old Ancestor, the injuries on your body are not yet healed, so you should rest for a while!" ”

"After a day of sleep, Ben Shuai wants to go out for a walk!" Tong Guan got up and ordered the little eunuchs around him to serve and dress.

"Dashuai, an urgent official letter submitted by Liu Shuai on Yanyan Road!" At this time, a pro-army from the house hurriedly broke in, and came to Tong Guan's bedroom, and presented an official document with both hands through the door curtain.

"Didn't you see that Ben Shuai was busy, and waited!" Tong Guan, who was dressing under the service of the little eunuch, said very unhappily.

The marshal's pro-army hurriedly said: "Dashuai, the post guard has just sent it, and the urgent delivery from the gold plate on Yanyan Road is also invited to take a look!" ”

Shen Kuo once recorded in "Mengxi Writings" that there were three grades in the post biography of the Song Dynasty: "It is said that the foot is delivered, the horse is delivered, and the foot is rushed." Hurry to deliver the most fast, travel 400 miles a day, but the army is used for prosperity. After Xining, there are gold plates in a hurry, such as the ancient feather tree. "The feather is the chicken feather letter inserted in ancient times on behalf of the urgent official business.

This gold-lettered urgent foot delivery, called urgent foot delivery, is actually a horse post that does not stop day and night, representing the most urgent urgent official document.

"Huh?" Tong Guan raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Ben Shuai is busy, take it apart and know it!" ”

"I think it's Xia Ren again!" Tong Guan first asked, and then snorted heavily, "Yesterday's assassination of Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai has not dealt with them, and now he has not negotiated peace, I am afraid that it will cause many more incidents." ”

"Whoa!" The pro-army of the Marshal's Mansion over there responded, and took down the anxious foot printed with the word "gold medal" and said: "Liu Shuai came to report to the army after a little pacification of the Yanyan Road, and the Linzhou, Volcano Army, and Baode Army reported urgently, and several teams of Xia troops invaded Linzhou, Volcano Army, and Baode Army the day before yesterday, and retreated to the Xia realm after looting generally......"

"Ben Shuai should have happened to something, but it was just a robbery by the Xia people, this Liu Yanqing really took a big deal and used the gold medal to hand it in a hurry!" After washing, the little eunuch changed his clothes for himself, Tong Guan disdained, thought about it and said: "The northwest is bitterly cold, especially in summer, every winter is a difficult time for summer people, this time is close to late autumn, and this year's summer is not harvested, if those summer people don't come to my Great Song Dynasty to loot, I'm afraid they won't even be able to pass this year." ”

After patiently listening to Tong Guan's words, the pro-army spoke: "Big handsome, the little one hasn't finished talking yet!" ”

"Go on!" Tong Guan signaled, and snorted coldly: "If you want to say that this summer thief is bold enough, now that the peace negotiation has not been completed, he dares to provoke my Great Song Dynasty, if it weren't for Ben Shuai's ambition in Youyun, I really thought that Ben Shuai would not lead the troops to destroy them......"

The pro-army was about to continue reading the gold medal in a hurry, but was interrupted by a little eunuch waiting for Tong Guan next to him, and the little eunuch said pleasantly: "That is, the old ancestor has been in the Northwest Wei Town Party Item, Tubo, and Uighur all these years, as long as the old ancestor coughs, this place in the northwest will tremble!" ”

In addition to serving people, eunuchs are also indispensable for flattery, otherwise they can only struggle at the bottom of the palace until they are old.

At this time, a little eunuch who had taken the benefits of Liu Yanqing hurriedly said: "Liu Shuai of Yan Yanlu has always listened to the words of the marshal, so he naturally has to report to the marshal first if there is anything!" ”

The pro-army patiently listened to the words of the two little eunuchs before he continued: "Liu Shuai said that after the Xia thieves looted in my Song Realm, they immediately sent people to accuse our dynasty of sending troops into the Kou Xia Realm to loot, for which the Linzhou army and the Xia Realm army and horses had many small-scale confrontations and conflicts, in order to prevent the situation from continuing to deteriorate, Liu Shuai restrained his subordinates at the same time, and specially reported to the marshal......

Tong Guan sneered: "Barbarians are barbarians, even if these party members can do saint articles, they can't change their treacherous nature." ”

"Liu Shuai has always listened to the orders of the ancestors the most, so naturally he has consulted the ancestors on any side, not like Liu Fa and the Seed Master Dao, who are proud of their achievements, and look like no one in their eyes." A little eunuch next to him said.

Liu Yanqing has the least ability among the military generals of the Northwest Five Routes as the pacification envoy of Jingluo, but it is precisely because he is the best at pat the horse and welcomes and listens to Tong Guan's words the most that he was mentioned to this position by Tong Guan.

Tong Guan nodded: "Well, Liu Yanqing has always had an eye for things, and he knows that Ben Shuai is aiming for Youyun......"

Rumble! Thundered......

Just as Tong Guan was speaking, a deafening sound came from his ears, causing everyone in the room to be stunned, and the little eunuch was even more frightened and almost dropped the object in his hand to the ground.

"It's Xia Ren again!" Tong Guan snorted heavily, "Yesterday's assassination of Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai has not dealt with them, and now he has not negotiated peace, and he has caused many incidents. ”

Yesterday's assassination Tong Guan was frightened, with the previous psychological shadow, Tong Guan's body trembled and almost fell to the ground, if it weren't for the quick little eunuch to support, I'm afraid he would be embarrassed in public.

"What happened?" Tong Guanqiang was calm and ordered: "Go and see where it is?" ”

"Whoa!" The pro-sergeant took the order and hurriedly went out to check.

The little eunuchs next to them came to their senses and whispered: "Old Ancestor, listening to the direction from which the voice came, it seems to be the side of the Shuai Shuai Mansion on Jingyuan Road!" ”

……

"Dashuai, the handsome is assassinated!" After a while, the pro-army, who had been ordered to go out to investigate, came back to report it.

Tong Guan hurriedly asked, "How is the planter?" ”

For the seed master Dao, Tong Guan is in a very complicated mood, the seed master Dao and Liu Fa are the same as the ability and strength to lead the army to fight this person, it is because of the ability and strength that he disdains to pat the horse and meet the horse, and when he encounters differences, he is also stubborn, so Tong Guan has to reuse these two people in order to brush up on his merits, but he doesn't like the arrogance of the two.

"If you go back to the big handsome, it's okay to be handsome!" The pro-army came back and said busily, and then said: "This morning, the commander was in the school army of the Shuaifu, and someone from the party pretended to be my Great Song sergeant to assassinate the commander, but fortunately, the assassin recognized the wrong person, so that the commander escaped the catastrophe!" ”

"The summer thief is dying...... Tong Guan snorted heavily, and then ordered: "Go and invite Mr. Dong to come to Ben Shuai to discuss matters!" ”

"Ancestor, you haven't eaten yet, it's not too late to discuss things after you've eaten!" The little eunuch next to him hurriedly persuaded.

"Go!" Tong Guan was helpless.

The little eunuch hurriedly answered the invitation. The Mr. Dong in Tong Guan's mouth naturally refers to Dong Yun, the first staff member under Tong Guan.

************************

"You, you......" The planter said as he sat in the Shuaifu, looking at Lotte with a wry smile and helplessness.

Embarrassed to be seen, Lotte said with a haha: "Tong Guan's mind is on Lianjin and Liao, this is really not my blessing of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

The planter pouted: "What the old man said is not this, the old man is a bright and upright person, and he ...... today."

Lotte naturally knew that the seed master Dao was referring to the pretending to be assassinated, and replied with a smile: "Since Li Yuanhao rebelled against Song Lixia, the party members have always been rampant, and they have repeatedly violated the border of our Great Song Dynasty, but now they dare not Kou Bian, thanks to the righteous grandfather and Liu Xihe Liu Shuai, but most of the credit was taken up by Tong Guan, if not, how can it be shown that the righteous grandfather is the pillar of the country!" ”

"You have a mouth...... "The seed master said that Lotte didn't do anything, but it became more and more pleasing to the eye when he saw Lotte.

"Now that the arrow is on the bow, Tong Guan has no intention of destroying Xia, but he has to send it!" Lotte smiled and nodded again: "It's time to add fire to Biandu!" ”

"What do you mean?" The planter is puzzled.

"Righteous grandfather!" Lotte bowed his hand to show respect, and continued: "Don't say that it is Tong Guan, even Your Majesty's mind is also on Lianjin and Liao, and besides, those officials and masters in the court only know flattery and rhetoric, how can they care about the affairs of the northwest border, and naturally they have to make some articles in public opinion!" ”

"If you don't know the inside story, on the surface, the Xia people bullied my Great Song into this appearance, if my Great Song does not destroy Xia, it will be a great shame for the country!" The seed master nodded, glanced at Lotte and said with a smile: "This summer, Song Xia negotiated peace, you baby lion opened your mouth to ask for the price of Xia Ren, is this the idea?" ”

Lotte replied with a smile: "Only one grandson, it can't be done, but God helps me, that the king of Qin and Jin in the Great Liao, Ye Luchun, actually knows my intention to join the Jin of the Great Song Dynasty to fight Liao, and wants to lead the water to the east, and focus the attention of my Great Song Dynasty on the party members, which is the so-called two good and one good." ”

The seed master sighed: "In order to fight against my Great Song Dynasty, the Khitans supported and funded Li Yuanhao to establish the country, and now the Khitans have to betray the party in order to protect themselves." ”

Lotte sneered: "That's it, Da Liao can survive for a few days!" ”

There was a bit of sadness on the face of the planter: "But the old man is worried about His Majesty Biandu, if Your Majesty doesn't nod his head, it will be really difficult to do the matter of cutting down the summer!" ”

Lotte said with a smile: "Righteous grandfather don't worry, grandson just needs to register more in the newspaper the grudge between my Great Song Dynasty and the party, which will lead to public anger, Your Majesty and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will never be able to withstand such public opinion pressure!" ”

In fact, since Lotte left Biandu, he instructed the editors of the Yanhuang Times to publish in the newspaper more old things between the Song and Xia, the three defeats of Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, and Dingchuanzhai, as well as the defeat of Yongle City, which suffered the greatest loss in the Song-Xia War, especially the destruction of Jingxia City and the slaughter of the city by the Western Xia army in the seventh year of Zhenghe.

Mo said that it was ordinary people, but the scholars and officials were all indignant when they saw the defeats fought by the Great Song Dynasty, and they shook their hands at Xixia, not only thinking that Lotte was right to open his mouth in the negotiation of peace, but also felt that Song Xia should not negotiate peace, and even took the opportunity to destroy Xixia in one fell swoop.

Having a newspaper in your hand means having the right to use public opinion, and having the right to public opinion means guiding public opinion.

Lotte, who has the soul of future generations, naturally knows the importance of public opinion, and uses public opinion to manipulate people's consciousness and guide people's intentions, so as to control people's behavior.

Lotte knew very well in his heart that the Great Song Dynasty was only short of the last bit of heat, or the last catalyst was missing, and the last catalyst was the most headache for himself, but he didn't expect it to be completed by the Liao people.
