Chapter 596: Asking

"Sima Qian's "Historical Records", his "Biography of the Assassins" is sprinkled with more than words, Cao Mo, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng, Jing Ke five people are all contained in it, there are many people in the northern court, and the world is established by riding and shooting, and it is even more outstanding people, is it difficult to find a dead man who can kill himself?" Lotte laughed, and there was a bit of banter in his words.

As one of the two commanders of the Great Liao General Affairs Bureau, who is Lu Tianfang, how can he not hear the banter in Lotte's words, and said loudly with a few angry voices: "I am in the Northern Dynasty, don't say that heroes like Nie Zheng, Zhuzhu, Jing Ke, and want to leave such a death-oriented home, it is like Cao Mo, Hou Ying, Zhu Hai, who are both wise and well-versed, and there is no shortage of heroes who retreat after the assassination!" ”

Immediately, Lu Tianfang sighed again: "It's a pity that my Great Liao doesn't pay attention to the northwest land where the Song and Xia borders, and there are very few people available in the northwest land.

In addition, Tong Guan has the Shengjie army guarding his residence by his side, and he is even more strict in checking the people entering and leaving, and his defense is not inferior to that of the monarchs of various countries. ”

Shengjie army is Tong Guan in the Song and Xia border to recruit teenagers, the scale of nearly 10,000 people, Tong Guan will Shengjie army as his own pro-army, used to guard his residence, every time to go back and forth to the northwest in Biandu between this army are with him, is in and out of Biandu Shengjie army is also with him.

Imagine that Tong Guan has more than 10,000 people around him to protect him, and he is afraid that even flies will not be able to fly close to him.

"This matter is indeed difficult to do...... Lotte nodded, looked at Lu Tianfang but smiled: "Even Commander Lu can't help this matter, what is Commander Lu's purpose in finding Le?" ”

Lu Tian said: "This summer, the Great Song Dynasty captured Hengshan, the Song and Xia wars came to an end, and Tong Guan entered Biandu and returned, which was also due to Lord Le marrying the princess of the Xia people. ”

Lotte asked, "What does Commander Lu mean by sending someone to do it when Tong Guan leaves Weizhou and returns to Biandu?" ”

"That's exactly what I mean, it's just that Tong Guan has a lot of guards around him, and with these people under Lu Mou's assassination, even if Lu Mou is also a moth to the fire!" Lu Tianfang nodded and sighed, then looked at Lotte and continued: "After seeing Lord Le's wisdom and resignation from the party, Lu admired Lord Le's wisdom very much, so he came to ask Master Le, and I hope Lord Le will not hesitate to give advice." ”

"Le is just a civil official, do you have such a dead soldier under him!" Lotte shook his head: "Besides, Le is a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and he should be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, how can he communicate with foreign countries!" ”

Seeing that Lotte refused, Lu Tianfang was not discouraged at all, and said: "The benefits of attacking Lingxia in the Great Song Dynasty do not need to be doubted, Lu has also heard that Lord Le has advised His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty several times not to join Jin to fight Liao, not to mention that the Jurchens are really barbaric people, and Lord Le is also a person with great combat power and vision in the Great Song Dynasty......"

"Commander Lu wants to ask from Le when Tong Guan will leave, and which route is he taking?" Lotte interrupted the other party and said to himself, "There is no such possibility!" ”

Then Lotte continued: "Tong Guan has repeatedly defeated the Xia people in the northwest, and he is the minister of my Great Song Dynasty, if Le is complicit with the commander of Lu, wouldn't it be disloyal to the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Lu Tianfang laughed: "What Master Le said is not true, if it weren't for Tong Guan's indiscriminate command of the greedy merit, how could the Great Song Dynasty have the defeat of Tong'an, Liu Fa and Lord Le almost died outside Gaizhu City?" ”

Lotte avoided answering, looked at Lu Tian and said with a smile: "Is it worth it for Commander Lu to work so hard to maintain Da Liao?" ”

"What does Lord Le mean?" Lu Tian was puzzled.

"Actually, Commander Lu knows it!" Lotte said bluntly: "His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor is arrogant and lascivious, the government is lax, the bureaucrats and nobles are tyrannical, and they fight each other for power and profit, so that all ethnic groups in the territory have risen up to resist, Le said something that should not be said, the Northern Dynasty has now gone through ups and downs, why should Lord Lu tinker for the Northern Dynasty like a paste!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Tian was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Lotte to know so much, and then said: "As Lord Le said, the matter of eating the king is loyal to the king!" ”

"Le admires!" Lotte said with a smile: "If the Northern Dynasty is defeated in the future, I wonder if the commander of Lu has any intention of defecting to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Lu Tianfang changed color suddenly: "Lord Le's words ......"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Tian put the next words, and Lotte said: "You and I know the affairs of the Northern Dynasty, so Commander Lu should not be obsessed anymore!" ”

Lu Tian was silent, what Lotte said was not true, he served in the General Affairs Bureau, and he had more information than those officials in the Daliao court, and how long the stormy Daliao had lasted, how could he not know.

Seeing that Lu Tian was silent, Lotte continued: "Commander Lu was originally a Han from Yandi, and he should be my Chinese Miao descendant, so why not serve the Great Song Dynasty in the future?" As Yu Rang reported to Zhibo, maybe he could help me destroy the Jin people in the Great Song Dynasty and destroy the shame of the country for the Great Liao! ”

After listening to Lotte's words, Lu Tianfang was silent for a long time. At the same time, Lu Tianfang became more and more unable to see through the young man in front of him, this young man gave people a feeling of almost demony, as if there were not many things in this world that could hide from him, and there was nothing that was not in his calculations.

After a small half cup of tea, Lu Tianfang said: "If Le Zhongshu can give advice to Lu for the assassination of Tong Guan, he will come to Lu when he is cornered!" ”

"A gentleman's word......," Lotte smiled, holding out a palm at the same time.

"It's hard to chase a horse!" Lu Tianfang also stretched out a palm, and while speaking, the two palms clapped together.

"Le still has one condition!" This is Lotte said again.

Lu Tian was slightly shocked, "Lord Le, please speak!" ”

Lotte said: "Tong Guan can't die! ”

"Promise Le Lord!" Unconsciously, Lu Tianfang changed his name.

……

Sending Lu Tianfang out of the post house, Xu Jiang turned back and said: "I am incomprehensible, Tong Shuaiquan leans towards the government and the opposition, and the court is even more smoky, and you have always been at odds with your lord, if he dies at the hands of the Liao, it is needless to say more about your benefits with Lord Zhongshu, why don't you want the Liao people to kill him!" ”

"This time Tong Guanshi was assassinated, whether he died or not, the battle to destroy Xia was inevitable!" Lotte said indifferently, and then said: "The battle of destroying Xia, since there are a lot of Xihe Road Jingluo to appease Liu Fa, Qin Feng Road to appease Liu Zhongwu, Yan Yan Road to pacify Liu Yanqing, Jingyuan Road to appease Liu Shidao, Huanqing Road to pacify Yao Gu, if Tong Guan is dead, who can lead the overall situation?" ”

"Among the five road marshals, Xihe Shuai Liu Fa is brave, Jingyuan Road is handsome and wise, Qin Fengshuai Liu Zhongwu is also a great meritor, and Yao Shuai of Huanqing Road is also not lagging behind, only Liu Yanqing of Yanyan Road has military exploits, but he is timid and opportunistic......" As an important member of the upper echelons of the Imperial City Division, General Xu naturally knows the situation of the marshals of the Western Army.

As he spoke, Xu Jiang suddenly patted his head, "I understand, this Tong Guan can't die, if he dies, I'm afraid that no one will be able to stop them, and I'm afraid that the plan to cut down the summer will be ruined!" ”

"You're smart!" Lotte nodded, "As you said, Xihe Shuai Liu Fayong championed the three armies, and no one in the northwest could beat him, and the Xia people were terrified; Jingyuan Road is handsome and strategic, and he can be called a Confucian general, and his achievements are also extraordinary; Yao Gu Yao Shuai of Huanqing Road has also made many achievements, but don't forget that the seed family and the Yao family are all Shaanxi clans, and the children of the two families have never been harmonious, and everything will be-for-tat, which will have disadvantages for the summer.

Although the merits of Marshal Liu Zhongwu of Qin Fenglu are slightly weaker than the previous three, he is also a rare talent to lead the troops, as for Liu Yanqing, if he didn't hold Tong Guan's thigh, it would be good to be a deputy general. ”

When talking about Liu Yanqing, Lotte was extremely disdainful in his words, and then said: "Shenzong is attacking Liao on the five routes, if it is not for the disharmony between the five roads, it may not be defeated. Although Tong Guan is a traitor, he has the holy favor of His Majesty, although the five marshals in the northwest are arrogant but dare not show the slightest bit to them, so only Tong Guan can suppress these five people! ”

Xu Jiang continued: "So what the adults mean is that Tong Guan can't die, if he dies, I'm afraid that the scene of the failure of the Five Roads will be staged again!" ”

Lotte nodded.

……

After staying in Zhenrong Army for a day, Lotte and his entourage went to Xiao Guan, and got together with Chong Yanchong and Chong Xian in Xiao Guan for a day, and Le Tian set off to Weizhou.

……

At the west gate of Weizhou City, the military flag is fluttering, and thousands of soldiers with bright armor stand outside the city gate, which makes Weizhou exude a solemn atmosphere outside the city, so that the people who enter and exit the city gate have avoided on both sides of the road.

In the middle of these arrays of soldiers, a large car with luxurious decoration stands out. At this time, the commander of Jingyuan Road, Dao Shidao, was taking Weizhou Zhizhou, and a cadre of generals from Jingyuan Road was seeing off Tong Guan.

Lotte returned safely from Western Xia, which indicates that Tong Guan has completed the task, and Tong Guan also has his own things to do in his heart, and now Tong Guan wants to return to Biandu to discuss the matter of Lianjin and Liao, so he naturally does not want to stay in Weizhou anymore.

Studying under Li Xian, Tong Guan wanted to gallop like his master Li Xian, but he was repeatedly unsuccessful in the Zhezong Dynasty, and it was not until Huizong Zhao Ji ascended the throne that he won the favor of the Son of Heaven.

Although Huizong Zhao Ji advocated luxury, the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty was enriched after Wang Anshi's reform, and the northwest had the most elite Western Army, the most elite division of the Great Song Dynasty, and a capable general, Tong Guan brushed more than ten years of military exploits, which also made Tong Guan reach the point of almost being a human minister.

Looking at Tong Guan's actions in the northwest, he basically takes the credit for winning the battle, and the black pot for losing the battle is carried by others, like Liu Fa's defeat in Tong'an City, which is a typical example. said that Tong Guan brushed up his military exploits, that is still to promote him, to put it more bluntly, it is called rubbing war merits or even robbing war merits.

The northwest wind and sand are very strong, Tong Guan naturally doesn't want to continue to eat sand here, what is the top of the Great Song Dynasty? It is the prince with a different surname, although he is a county king who is one level worse than the prince, but it is what Tong Guan dreamed of, for the title of county king, Tong Guan started the idea of Youyun.

Tong Guan travels back and forth between the northwest and Biandu several times a year, but in order to show respect, the officials still have to go to see them off in a stylized manner.

After a conversation without nutrition, Tong Guan got into the car, and under the attention of the planter Dao and others, the honor guards began to move in the southeast direction.

Seeing Tong Guan leaving, there was a relaxed look in the eyes of the cultivator Dao and others. Although the Seed Master Dao is the highest governor of the road, Tong Guan set up the Six Roads Side Affairs Marshal's Mansion here, and the days of suppression by someone are naturally uncomfortable, and the Seed Master Dao and Tong Guan are not compatible.

Out of etiquette, Tong Guan left to walk half a mile, Jingyuan Road a group of military attaches still pay attention to the salute, at this moment, I saw that a few people who were originally standing on the side of the road suddenly rushed to Tong Guan's guard of honor, while breaking with a fire fold to light something......
