Chapter Seventy-Six: Song Shenzong's Oath
readx;
Wu Ji's plan is really amazing, even Wang Shao spent a lot of effort to digest it, or Wu Ji analyzed it face to face. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Now, it is not surprising that Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi are so shocked.
"Goo!" Song Shenzong's throat made a strange noise, and he was in a petrified state.
After a long time, Song Shenzong came to his senses, stroked his forehead, sweat in his hands, and looked at Wang Shao and said: "Wang Shao, you said that Wu Ji is just bold, how can he be bold?" It's just daring! You see, when I heard this plan, I was shocked to sweat. ”
"Yes! It's amazing! Wang Anshi also reacted and wiped a cold sweat.
"The official, even the minister was shocked when he heard this, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat." Wang Shao did not hide it at all: "After the analysis of the commander of Wu Du, the minister has to say that although this plan is shocking, it is a good plan, once it succeeds, the hope of the Great Song Dynasty to recover the land of Yanyun will be greatly increased." Even if it can't be recovered, it will greatly damage the strength of the Liao State, and it will be impossible to recover it within ten years. ”
Song Shenzong couldn't help nodding, raised his head suddenly, stared at Wang Shao, and asked hatefully: "Wang Shao, tell me honestly, did Wu Ji ask you to do this?" You two rebellious ministers and thieves, how do you calculate? Hum! ”
The emperor calculated for his courtiers, which was really annoying, and anyone would be annoyed, and Song Shenzong's reaction was expected.
"The official, Wu Du commanded and said that whether this plan can succeed is not at the border, but in the court. Especially whether the official family is determined to work to the end. As for how to say it, it was all the minister's idea, and it had nothing to do with the command of Wu Du. Wang Shao replied truthfully.
During the discussion, Wu Ji realized that the key to whether this strategy could be implemented was the attitude of Song Shenzong, if he could withstand the pressure of the DPRK and China, everything would be easy to say. If he can't stand it, gives up halfway, or commands randomly, then everything is delusional.
"No matter what, you two chaotic ministers and thieves are calculating, and I will never spare them!" The more Song Shenzong thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Just when Song Shenzong was angry, Wang Anshi came to relieve the siege: "Hehe! Congratulations to the official family, congratulations to the official family! ”
"Jiefu, you don't have to say good things for the two rebellious ministers and thieves, I have to clean up the two of them." Song Shenzong's anger did not diminish at all.
"Official, please give me a word." Wang Anshi then went on and said: "Looking at the past and the present, if there is such a thing, there must be a great merit, and the official family, a great merit will appear. ”
"Oh! And this kind of statement? Wang Anshi's words aroused curiosity, and Song Shenzong looked at Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi smiled slightly and said, "If the official family doesn't believe it, I will give two examples, and you will know." ”
Song Shenzong nodded slightly.
"Shang Ying entered Qin, three times to see filial piety, the first and second time are to say big words, filial piety thought that Shang Ying has no real talent to learn, only grinding his mouth, he is very impressed. In fact, I don't know that Shang Ying is to strengthen the will of filial piety. Wang Anshi is a person who is familiar with the past and the present, and quoting scriptures is his strength: "Shang Ying saw Xiaogong for the third time, and knew that his intention to change the law was firm, so he offered to strengthen Qin Jiuce, Xiaogong was overjoyed, and ordered Shang Yang to change the law, and Qin became stronger and laid the foundation of the royal industry." ”
The Shang Dynasty Reform had a far-reaching impact on the course of China's history. However, the road to change the law was not all smooth sailing, but full of ups and downs. In order to strengthen Qin Xiaogong's will to change the law, he saw Qin Xiaogong three times, and the first two times he said that with the so-called emperor's technique, it was actually a fake big empty, and it was a foolish thing, but none of them were practical.
It wasn't until I saw Qin Xiaogong for the third time that I went on the "Nine Strategies to Strengthen Qin", which was a specific measure, and the rules were aimed at the current situation of the Qin State, which could be said to be the right medicine.
This is a beautiful talk for the ages, and Song Shenzong's face was slightly pale: "Hmm! ”
Wang Anshi knew that it had worked, and then said: "The second thing is that Fan Sui met King Qin Zhao. King Qin Zhao asked Fan Sui three times, and Fan Sui kept silent and kept silent, in order to strengthen King Qin Zhao's mind. In the end, there was a matter of going to Huayang and chasing the marquis, and there was a strange strategy of 'long-distance friendship and close attack'. ”
Fan Sui was originally from Wei State, forced to leave, came to Qin State, and according to the current situation of Qin State, wrote a chapter for King Qin Zhao. King Qin Zhao was very tempted, and sent someone to find Fan Sui and ask Fan Sui for advice. Fan Sui was silent, until King Qin Zhao knelt down to ask for advice, Fan Sui said his plan, in the final analysis, it was to expel King Qin Zhao's relatives Huayangjun and Marquis from the court, because the two controlled the government, King Qin Zhao was empty.
Fan Sui also offered a strange plan to King Qin Zhao: long-distance friendship and close attack, which is a strange plan that has been passed down through the ages.
Although these two things embarrassed the emperor, their effects were very good, which is a beautiful talk for the ages. Song Shenzong's face looked much better, and he looked at Wang Anshi and said, "Jiefu, I didn't see it, you are still a good lobbyist, and you are well versed in the way of vertical and horizontal." Tell me, where is my miraculous work? ”
"Huh!" Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Official, with your wisdom, you won't know it, right?" This doesn't need to be said. ”
"Hmm!" Song Shenzong walked to the front of the map, pointed to Zhuozhou and said: "If Zhuozhou is captured by the Great Song Dynasty, then the Great Song Dynasty will point to Youzhou, and then send troops to Youzhou, which is likely to be taken down." Taking Youzhou is equivalent to taking back the land of Yanyun. Even if it can't be taken back at the same time, it's not much worse. However, why did you choose to fight Yeluhongji in Zhuozhou instead of attacking Youzhou? ”
This is a very critical question, and Song Shenzong can't afford not to ask.
"Official, this is a safe way." Wang Shao explained, "Youzhou is hundreds of miles north of Zhuozhou, its city is high and thick, it is not something for us to be afraid of, with the method of Wu Du's command, it is completely possible to break through Youzhou." At this point, please rest assured that the minister had already tried it with Commander Wu Du before returning to Beijing, and there would be no problem. ”
"The key point of this battle is to be able to capture Zhuozhou, since you have a way, it will be much easier!" Song Shenzong took a long breath, it was the most difficult to clean up Jiancheng, and it was good to have a way.
Wang Shao knew that Song Shenzong's anger had disappeared, and this matter could be accurate, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, his voice turned high, and said: "What really makes us jealous is that these hundreds of miles are away. If we attack Youzhou, once the war does not go well, it will not be easy for us to retreat. If there is a big battle with Yelu Hongji in Zhuozhou, it will be much easier. When Zhuozhou is in our hands, the Great Song Dynasty will point its sword at Youzhou, and Yelu Hongji will definitely raise a large army to come to Zhuozhou to fight a decisive battle with us. Even if the war is unfavorable and we have to retreat, it will be much more convenient. ”
A retreat of a few hundred miles more is a completely different concept from a retreat of a few hundred miles less.
"It seems that your confidence is also insufficient!" Song Shenzong's brows were twisted together.
"Official, it's not that we lack confidence, whether this war can be fought smoothly depends on the war in Shaanzhou." Wang Shao's brows tightened: "The terrain of Shaanzhou is complex, mountainous, and the transportation is inconvenient, and it is difficult for the various armies to coordinate with each other, and they cannot rush to each other's aid, so it is easy for the Western Xia to break through." If the war in Shaanzhou is unfavorable, no matter how well we fight, we will have to withdraw our troops. ”
"Hey! Hengshan, Hengshan, it's a pity that it's not in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty! "The Song Dynasty and the Western Xia fought for decades, and Song Shenzong naturally knew that what Wang Shao said was true, and sighed.
After a pause, he asked, "Since you have thought of this problem, what do you do?" ”
"There are two countermeasures." Wang Shao then analyzed: "First, we must fight fiercely and fiercely, and end the war in the shortest possible time. ”
"That's important!" Song Shenzong nodded.
"The second is to use Zhuozhou as bait to lure Yelu Hongji's army to come and fight in Zhuozhou. In this battle, we will not focus on capturing or occupying land, but on annihilating Yeluhongki's army. Wang Shao clenched his right hand into a fist and said loudly: "As long as you can annihilate enough Liao dogs, no matter how the war changes, this will be extremely beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Although land, cities, and goods are important, they are far inferior to the army, if Yelu Hongji's living force can be annihilated, even if the Song Dynasty is temporarily unable to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, it can also change the strategic situation of Song Liao, from Song weak Liao strong to Song strong Liao weak. As long as the Western Xia issue is brought to an end, and then we go back to clean up the Liao State, it will be nine out of ten.
"Huh! I have calculated once for your two rebels and thieves, and I am not wronged! Song Shenzong let out a burst of laughter, very relieved, and said: "The most important thing is whether I can withstand all kinds of gossip." It is conceivable that if Zhuozhou is taken by the Great Song Dynasty, by that time, there will be two voices. One is to shout and shout, to enter Youzhou and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, this is a rash advance, this is a danger. ”
Zhuozhou is the southern gate of Youzhou, if it is taken by the Song Dynasty and enters Youzhou, the sound of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun will be very loud. If Song Shenzong's mind is a little hotter and urges Wu Ji and them to march, he is likely to suffer a big loss.
"The second is that some people are timid and will be frightened. said that it was touching the tiger's buttocks, and if one was not good, the whole army would be wiped out, and one of them would be on the table, and I would like to retreat quickly! Song Shenzong raised his eyebrows and said, "I haven't done this kind of thing in hundreds of years, and it's impossible to keep these cowards from being afraid." ”
The Liao State has suppressed the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, how many people have been scared? Can't count. Conquering Zhuozhou will inevitably be polarized, with one faction advocating an attack, the other advocating retreat, and a bad decision will lead to defeat and overthrow the division.
Song Shenzong was so right that Wang Shao hurriedly said: "The official family is wise! ”
"Wang Shao, listen well, I will give you and Wu Ji the right to act cheaply now, and I won't ask anything if the war doesn't end." Song Shenzong took out his sword, slashed it down, and broke the desk: "If you violate the oath, there is such a table!" ”
"Official!" Wang Shao knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, grateful.
Song Shenzong is bold, and everyone will be moved.
"Get up!" Song Shenzong helped Wang Shao up and said, "What else do you need?" As long as you can fight this battle, I will give you the stars in the sky and the moon! ”
"Official, there are really a few things that are urgently needed!" Wang Shao took out the list that had been made a long time ago and presented it.
Song Shenzong took the list and looked at it, raised his eyebrows, and said: "This Wu Ji must have a new idea, he doesn't want gold and silver, he doesn't want grain and grass, he doesn't want ordnance, but he wants saltpeter and sulfur." Well, here's it, Jiefu, you do it. Forget it, I'll catch it myself! ”
