Chapter 51 Discuss the destruction of Shu and act cautiously
A burst of autumn is coming, the fragrance of chrysanthemums spreads all over Kaifeng City, and even the palace faintly smells a fragrance, and the queen He loves flowers, and the entire imperial garden is also full of chrysanthemums.
"When autumn comes, September 8, after my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers will be killed, and the incense array will be opened through the sky, and the city will be full of golden armor." In the Guangzheng Palace, Zhao Kuangyin was reciting poems in the hall, and his heart was very comfortable, pacing around the dragon pillar.
"Little Dezi, how are things going?"
"Official, the new house you ordered to build a new house on the north bank of Bianshui for the Shu lord Meng Chang and his relatives is now being built, and this time thanks to His Highness's cement, the supervision project is much faster than the original plan."
"Hmm."
But on that day, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Dezhao, the father and son, went out of the palace for a private visit, passing by the north bank of Bianshui, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly proposed to build a total of more than 500 houses and buildings here, in order to be able to settle Meng Chang's family after the destruction of Shu.
When Zhao Dezhao heard this, he dared to treat the monarchs and ministers of the dead country preferentially, so he nodded and praised.
Soon after Zhang Derang left, a secret letter arrived, and Zhao Kuangyin invited several privy councillors and several jiedu envoys to the palace to discuss the matter of sending troops to Shu.
When the chief and the generals heard that the emperor had summoned them, they immediately entered the palace and went to the Guangzheng Palace to discuss important matters.
Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon throne quickly, and said angrily: "Ladies and gentlemen, Meng Chang of Shu State secretly colluded with Liu Jun of the Han State to invite me to attack the western border of the Great Song Dynasty with this wax pill letter. ”
Then Zhao Kuangyin handed over the wax pill letter to all the people in the palace who came here to discuss the courtiers, and after they read it all, everyone was happy and heavy.
I am glad that the Great Song Dynasty has been preparing the army for several years, and now it is finally famous and can attack Shu. The heavy thing is that Shu has a moat separated by a moat, and it is not easy to attack, and I don't know how much military strength it will cost the Song army to produce food and ordnance this time.
Meng Chang's behavior made the dignified Song Dynasty, as the Central Plains Dynasty and the Heavenly Empire, suffer such provocations from other countries, if he didn't fight back, would he still be majestic?
Cao Bin immediately arched his hand and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this wax pill secret letter from Zhao Yantao of the Xingzhou Military Academy of Shu State can be used as an excuse for my Great Song Dynasty to send troops to fight, it seems that this time my Great Song Dynasty Shu Division is famous." ”
Zhao Kuangyin laughed and said: "Meng Chang is not able to measure himself, Wang Zhaoyuan is a young man, and he doesn't know that now the Han State has suffered a series of defeats, the Khitan cavalry has been defeated, and he Meng Chang also fantasizes about uniting the Han army and vainly trying to attack my Song State." Now this wax pill letter has been sent to me in Tokyo, if it weren't for the credit of Zhao Yantao of the Xingzhou Military Academy of Shu State, Zhang Hui, the training envoy of the Fengzhou regiment, and others, this time they would really have been attacked. ”
Dou Yi stroked his beard and smiled: "Shu is looking for death, and hit me on the blade of the Great Song gun." Since the capture of Jingzhou Hunan in my Great Song Dynasty, the strength has increased greatly, and I have secretly planned to attack Shu for a long time. ”
Chu Zhaofu said: "In order to cut down Shu, the grain and ordnance of my Great Song Dynasty have been accumulated so far, which can be used by hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army to attack Shu for a year. ”
Zhao Pudao: "It is imperative that our Great Song Dynasty court send envoys to rebuke the lord of Shu, issue a document, say that Meng Chang has lost his virtue and government, rejuvenate the king's division, and send troops to attack Shu." ”
Now there is an excuse to attack Shu, but I don't know the commander and deputy commander of Shu and how to attack Shu, and everyone has the same doubts in their hearts.
As a few generals who sent troops to conscript, they naturally hoped that Shu could be done by themselves, and the first war of Shu could also make him famous and promoted.
Although there was an excuse to send troops, the purpose of Zhao Kuangyin calling them here today was to discuss how the Song Forbidden Army would attack Shu and who would be in command.
Zhao Kuangyin ordered people to move the geographical map of mountains and rivers drawn by Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, from the Funing Palace, compared with the past, this map is more accurate than before, and the mountains and rivers drawn on the map are all clear at a glance.
In addition, from the place where the general was the supervisor and the ordnance supervisor, he instructed the palace people to move a complete set of sand charts of the mountains and rivers of Shu.
Some courtiers saw this sand table for the first time, when many sand table patterns were piled up together, the terrain of the entire Shu was presented in front of the ministers in three dimensions.
On the sand table, ravines and even mountains and rivers are uplifted, symbolizing the topography of Shu, as well as the location of the cities of Shu, passes, beacon firements and houses, etc., all of which are clearly displayed.
Chongchen was excited in his heart, cut the wrong measure, stood up from his seat one by one, and then stood in front of the map and the sand table, pointed, and then fell into hard thought, and then combined with Zhao Kuangyin's order Zhang Hui in Shuzhong's map of the main roads, summarized and analyzed the distribution of Shu's troops.
Shu is surrounded by high mountains, the sword pavilion is majestic and Cui Wei, most of the Shu troops are distributed along the plank road, and this battle only needs to break through the Shu army distributed along the mountains and rivers.
According to the Three Kingdoms period, the Wei State destroyed Shu and combined with the current situation, in the final Guangzheng Palace, the emperor and Zai Zhi and several generals established a strategy to destroy Shu.
According to the strategy, it is generally divided into two fronts, and it can be regarded as the general strategy for attacking Shu.
All the way from Fengzhou in the north, seize the Jianmen Pass that is not opened by one husband and ten thousand people, pass through Xingzhou, and go down the Jialing River.
The other way is to attack from the east, the army set off from Guizhou, along the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, break through the natural danger of Kuizhou, go upstream, and attack Shu.
The two roads will attack together, and they will attack Chengdu on an appointment.
As for the Yangtze River waterway, I heard that the navy of Shu was seriously damaged, and it was indeed an opportunity to take advantage of the attack, and secondly, it was also very convenient to transport grain and ordnance from the waterway, which was also very convenient for the Great Song Dynasty.
However, in the final analysis, it is really difficult to break through the Shu army in dangerous places, and after having a plan, the courtiers are thinking about who will be in command to go to Shu.
It is not easy to conquer Shu, but to capture Shu is equivalent to directly threatening the three countries of Southern Tang, Wuyue and Southern Han, and secondly, there is a Dali country in the west of the border.
In the same situation, the privy envoy Zhao Pu asked: "I don't know if there is a candidate in Your Majesty's heart, who is the commander?" ”
Zhao Kuangyin blurted out: "What do you think of Wang Quanbin? ”
"Wang Quanbin!"
No one thought that His Majesty would send Wang Quanbin as the commander-in-chief. The ministers were very puzzled in their hearts, and they also knew Wang Quanbin very well.
As the saying goes, knowing people and using soldiers, Wang Quanbin fought quite well, but unfortunately he was like a devil in hell, often killing soldiers and soldiers.
Zhao Kuangyin thinks that this person's means are very good, and he can fight with Bai Qi of the Warring States.
Knowing that Wang Quanbin is a person, someone in the court has stood up, this person is Dou Yi, he arched his hand and said: "Official, although Wang Quanbin is brave and brave in the loyal army, this person is cruel and violent, innocently killing the soldiers who surrendered, and the ministers have repeatedly received the excerpts of impeachment from the court and the central government. ”
"Zi said: If a person is not a sage, he can be without fault, and it is great to change it." Zhao Kuangyin said, "The conquest of Shu is a vicious battle, Shu has always been fearless, relying on Sichuan and Shu, Shu Road is difficult, mountains are blocked, and my army is blocked." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said in his heart, if the old general Murong is still there, it will be fine.
Dou Yi continued: "The minister is worried that Wang Quanbin's killing in Shu will backfire, so that the people of Shu will have an ineffective heart for my Great Song Dynasty, which will backfire on the official family's pacification of the world." The official family didn't remember that Li Chuyun cooked and killed the enemy soldiers, and almost made the land of Sanxiang have no attachment to my Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Kuangyin knew that Dou Yi's temper was coming up again, if it weren't for his old age and frailty, Zhao Kuangyin would not have suppressed the anger in his heart.
Zhao Pu also said at this time: "The official family, for the sake of the people of Shu and for the prestige of the official family, Wang Quanbin is not suitable to be the boss, and the minister suggests that the official family should choose someone else." ”
In the Guangzheng Palace, the atmosphere began to change suddenly, full of gunpowder, Zhao Kuangyin planned to use Wang Quanbin as the commander of Shu, but others had different opinions.
The two factions competed, and Zhao Kuangyin temporarily suppressed the atmosphere.
"Discuss it another day." In just four words, Zhao Kuangyin has already brushed his sleeves away.
……
Located in the Liangcheng Inn in the city, at this moment, Zhao Dezhao is still in the secret room. However, his brows were furrowed, he was worried about what would happen in the future, for example, this general of Shu, Zhao Dezhao remembered a few.
In the process of conquering Shu, although Wang Quanbin was a brave general, he was cruel and violent, mighty and immoral, and often innocently killed the surrendered soldiers and civilians when he repeatedly conquered the Han State.
Then, in the original history, the Great Song Dynasty treated the people of Shu as if they were raised by their mothers, but the people of Shu did not have a high sense of attachment to the Great Song Dynasty. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun rebelled in Qingcheng County.
Therefore, the important thing in governing a country is not to conquer, but to bring the people into obedience and win their hearts.
What's more, the matter of cutting down Shu is very important, and Zhao Dezhao doesn't want this matter to happen again, so it is necessary for him to make a choice.
Cui Yanjin connived at his subordinates to burn and loot the Shu State, causing the people of Shu to resist the Song soldiers, and then inspired the people of Shu to attack.
If it weren't for the benevolent attitude of Cao Bin, Liu Guangyi and others, I am afraid that although the Shu State died, the people of Shu did not agree with the legitimacy of the Great Song Dynasty.
The stability of Shu, the stability of the Great Song Dynasty in the southwest in the future, and Zhao Dezhao's future deployment in the southwest, conquer Shu, and Dali is not far away. Therefore, Zhao Dezhao did not want to start fighting again in Shuzhong at that time, and the people would not obey the Great Song Dynasty.
Since ancient times, there is a good saying: the world is not chaotic Shu is chaotic, and the world has been governed by Shu and then governed.
Because of the special geographical environment of Shudi, the countries that built their capitals here often took advantage of the steep geographical conditions to engage in independence and disobey the decrees of the central dynasty. Moreover, the roads in Shuzhong are dangerous, the mountains and rivers are separated, and the government decrees are different, so it is very easy to form a separatist regime.
Zhao Dezhao couldn't think of a way for the time being, and he didn't know how wide the sphere of influence of the Changchun Hall of Shu was now, and whether he would secretly change the situation with the power of the Changchun Hall in his hands when the time came.
Changchun Hall is a secret hand, and on the bright side, Zhao Dezhao has to let Zhao Kuangyin think twice no matter what.
