Chapter 289: Surprise Attack on Mu Huogang

Will the fate of Emperor Jofu change?

Yu Yin didn't know!

But leaving Wang Yange by Emperor Roufu's side can at least give him more protection. No matter how bad it is, Yu Yin can also master the actions of Emperor Roufu through Wang Yange. As long as Emperor Roufu does not enter the gold camp, the miserable fate in history may be changed. That's all Yu Yin can do...... If it weren't for Wang Yange's birth, he might even let Yan Nu protect Emperor Roufu. Of course, these things are not for outsiders.

On the seventeenth day of the first month, the seed master road arrived at the city of Kaifeng.

As a member of the Privy Council, after the arrival of the Seed Master, it was logical to take over the defense of Kaifeng.

After carefully inquiring about the process of the Kaifeng war, the seed master couldn't help but say: "Bo Ji is too cautious, it is good to resist the enemy outside the city, but when the thieves and soldiers come to the city, it will have an impact on the official family, and it is logical to discuss peace."

If Na Yuyin had won a great victory in Guoqiao Town, Bo Ji would have been able to send troops to help, and the situation would not have been so passive.

Bo Ji is the old man who seeks the country, although he is loyal, but he ignores the feelings of the official family, which really shouldn't be. ”

Fortunately, Li Gang is not here, otherwise, there will be a dispute.

Uncle Zhang also shook his head again and again, but out of his friendship with Li Gang, he couldn't help but refute Li Gang.

"The minister said it well, but he also ignored the situation.

That Yu Xiaoyi kept giving military orders and acted without authorization, Li Shangshu got the news, and I am afraid it will be difficult to support him...... After all, the situation of the enemy and us is not clear, but I feel that Li Shangshu sticks to Kaifeng, which is also the best policy. ”

The Planter Dao is 75 years old, and he has long passed the age of arguing with others.

This time, he came with illness, ran all the way, and after arriving in Kaifeng, he didn't have a moment to rest, and he was already tired.

After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he waved his hand and smiled: "I'm not blaming Boji. It's just that he feels that he is a little cautious in this matter, and he has no intention of blaming. Although Yu Xiaoyi said that he acted without authorization, it was understandable that he would not be subject to military orders abroad. Since Bo Ji was able to make up his mind to help Nayu Xiaoyi make up the military order at that time, if he could send troops to support him again, he would not be able to take the opportunity to recapture Fengqiu, and he would be able to resist the enemy outside Kaifeng Mansion, and the official family would naturally not have too many worries. ”

Uncle Zhang's night this time. didn't speak for Li Gang anymore.

He also knew that the Dao of the Seed Master was not an accusation, but a lament that the opportunity was missed, so that the situation had eroded to the point where it was now.

The thoughts of the officials!

Li Gang is a direct minister, but he is not a good minister.

He is upright, but in this life, I am afraid that he will be planted on top of this uprightness.

Since the Song Dynasty, the emperor and scholars have ruled the world together.

Winning the war is the honor of the scholars. But if he loses, the emperor is incompetent.

This is also a reason why the emperors of previous dynasties were reluctant to start the war lightly. In addition, since the Song Dynasty, the emphasis on literature and light on military force has been emphasized. There is some resistance to martial arts. If you change the statement in later generations, the idea of the old Zhao emperors is nothing more than that: what can be solved with money is not a thing.

Fighting a war costs the people and money, and it is easy to encourage the arrogance of the generals.

If the indemnity is negotiated, it is the scholars and the people who pay the money, and the infamy is also those scholars, and they are not implicated with the emperor. In this form. The old Zhao emperors were naturally unwilling to fight to the death with their opponents in order to maintain their faces.

The First Battle of Kaifeng achieved Li Gang's reputation.

Speaking from the outside, it was said that Li Gang presided over the overall situation and repelled the thieves. But it has nothing to do with Zhao Huan.

If Zhao Huan is not afraid? That's unlikely...... It's just that Li Gang is another strong order, although his morality is good, he is too upright and doesn't know how to be flexible. You've been in charge of the overall situation for so long, but once before. To highlight the importance of Zhao Huan?

repeatedly prevented Zhao Huan from leaving, making Zhao Huan lose face. …,

On the contrary, although Geng Nanzhong and those people did not preside over the overall situation, they always highlighted the importance of Zhao Huan.

In the final analysis, Geng Nanzhong and these people know Zhao Huan's mind and know how to cater to him; And even if Li Gang knew, he didn't bother to do it.

This is the main reason why Zhao Huan is dissatisfied with him.

It's ridiculous, but Li Gang doesn't know it......

The Taoist has been in the sea for a long time, and it can be said that it has gone through three dynasties.

If you don't know how to figure out the thoughts of the officials, you can't get to where you are now. Just look at him when he was in the northwest, Tong Guan insisted that the cultivation master was only a two-sentence argument, and then he no longer persuaded him. When Tong Guan was defeated, he came forward to clean up the mess, take countermeasures, and implore Emperor Huizong to make a decision. He couldn't understand the thoughts of Emperor Zhao.

He regretted it a little, and if he had come back a day earlier, maybe he could have eased the situation.

After all, Li Gang is too bookish, even if he keeps Kaifeng, it is destined that this person's future outcome will not be too good.

However, these things, he will not say to anyone.

When the seed master first arrived in Kaifeng, he didn't know much about the situation in Kaifeng City today.

In addition, when reinforcements from all sides arrive, he also needs to come forward to coordinate, so he will not make a decision casually......

After carefully studying the process of the Battle of Kaifeng, the seed master Dao became interested in Yuyin.

"Did Zhang Xianggong find out that this Yu Xiaoyi is very keen on the battle situation."

Uncle Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, I also found out about this...... This son's actions in Guoqiao Town are quite miraculous. Moreover, when he took office in Mutuogang, it seems that he had long expected that the thieves would call Kaifeng and start to transfer grain and grass early, so that after the thieves arrived, they could not take any advantage. Since then, the battle of Chaoyangmen has shown the posture of a fierce general.

Being able to rescue the camp of the van army, and also taking a remnant of the army to defeat the thieves who are several times their size, is not to be underestimated......

In other words, the dog took advantage of him. If Xiao Yi did not fight Chaoyangmen to the death, it would be impossible for Bo Fen to defeat the thief. He also mentioned this matter to me just now, saying that Yu Xiaoyi can be called my Great Song Dynasty dead soldier, and he can be called a pillar of the country. ”

Uncle Zhang's words were quite appreciative.

The seed master smiled, "I've heard of this person's name a long time ago.

The year before last, when the thief mission came, he was the first to expose the fact that the thief wanted to cede the three towns, which finally made Taishang Daojun change his mind. His Song Times Weekly, I also think it's very good. As early as before, he proposed in the article that the three family slaves of Guo Yaoshi could not be reused, but no one believed it. Moreover, the Great Song Times Weekly was also the first to evaluate the thieves, and said that there would be a fierce battle between Song and Jin sooner or later...... Although this man was born in the city, he was indeed loyal. And the vision is not bad. Zhang Xianggong, I intend to ask him to come to the Privy Council and make a bookkeeper, what do you think? ”

The Privy Council Clerk's Office, similar in character to the later Secretariat.

However, in terms of duties, there are some staff powers. Yu Yin has no merit and fame, and being able to enter the Privy Council is a big reward.

Uncle Zhang couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"Oh?"

"I just learned from Bofen. The official family has ordered Yu Xiaoyi to be the head of the prince's government and transferred from the military department.

If you say it a day earlier, it won't be difficult to handle. Can ...... now Yu Xiaoyi had already received the edict and received the seal from the prince. At this time, the prince went to ask for it, but I was afraid that he would have to go to the prince and say, I think this is not a small difficulty. ”

When the planter heard this, his white eyebrows frowned.

"Then I'll go to the prince and ask for someone."

"Difficult!"

Uncle Zhang sighed, "Does the Xianggong know why Yu Xiaoyi was ordered to remove the prince from the government?" ”

"This ......"

"Bo Fen has a few acquaintances in the palace. It just so happened that there was someone on duty in the Zichen Palace. …,

It is said that the sage took the prince to the Zichen Hall that day, and said that since everyone didn't like Yu Xiaoyi, why not transfer him to the Zhushu Mansion? You know that, too. The saint was virtuous and never interfered in political affairs. But if she opened her mouth, the official family would not object. The prince also said that it was unfair for the Privy Council Military Department to treat Yu Xiaoyi, and it was better to be his rate than to stay in the military department and be angry.

The official family was a little hesitant, but it was still a saint: Yu Xiaoyi is a loyal minister, and since he was ostracized, it is not a good thing to stay. It's better to go to the prince's side and do things...... As a result, the official family agreed to this matter, and today the imperial decree Yu Xiaoyi divided the rate of the government. ”

"Repulsion?"

The Seed Master Dao had just arrived in Kaifeng, so it was naturally impossible to know what happened to Yu Yin.

Even if Yu Yin is valued by him again, it can be said in the end. It's just a small soldier, and it's good to be able to get into his eyes.

Uncle Zhang said: "I don't know that when Yu Xiaoyi was rushing to the aid of Guoqiao Town, he killed Wang Zhen, the commander of Fengqiu County, at the crossing of the Guangji River. Although this matter was suppressed by the government, it still caused some impact. Li Shangshu was persuaded by Zheng Wangzhi at that time. detained the seven hundred soldiers and horses that belonged to Yu Xiaoyi. So much so that during the Battle of Chaoyangmen, Yu Xiaoyi's troops were even less than a thousand. Somehow this matter was known to the officials, and they were also quite dissatisfied with Boji. ”

The two white eyebrows of the Seed Master Dao were almost twisted together.

He didn't know about this matter, so much so that after listening to Uncle Zhang's story, he also felt that Li Gang had gone too far.

"Naboji ......"

"Bo Ji doesn't know about this yet, so I guess he knows about it, and he won't take it to heart."

It is no wonder that since the Song Dynasty, the status of military generals has been declining day by day.

Mo said that it was Yu Yin, that is, the famous Di Qing, who had also been humiliated by Ouyang Xiu and others, but he didn't dare to be half dissatisfied.

In the final analysis, Yu Yin is not a serious scholar after all, and he has no fame.

In Li Gang's view, Yu Yin's killing of Wang Ji is a great rebellion, and it is reasonable to teach him some lessons. It's just that he didn't expect that such a thing that seemed to be ordinary in the past would bring him huge trouble.

How did the officials know?

As long as the seed master Dao has a little guess, he can guess a rough idea.

However, he didn't know how to comment on this matter, and after listening to Uncle Zhang's words, he could only shake his head again and again and let out a sigh.

But it's a pity, that jade Xiaoyi ......

No matter how much the Seed Master Dao values Yu Yin, in the final analysis, the current Yu Yin is still just a small person. As the leader of the Privy Council, it is naturally impossible to put too much energy into a small person. After all, the top priority to be solved is Wanyan Zongwang outside Kaifeng City.

Since the official family is unwilling to fight anymore, it is naturally impossible for the Seed Master Dao to oppose Zhao Huan like Li Gang.

Li Ze has returned to Kaifeng and reported the results of the peace talks with Wanyan Zongwang.

Zhao Huan authorized Li Ze to increase the Jurchen by 300-5 million taels, and the cost of the army was also 300-5 million taels.

In addition, Zhao Huan ordered Li Ze to privately bribe Wanyan Zongwang with 10,000 taels of gold, in order to get Wanyan Zongwang to agree.

However, as a result, Wanyan Zongwang put forward the conditions of 50 million taels for the army, 1 million taels of silk, and 10,000 cattle and horses. At the same time, it was necessary to cede the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, and asked the prince and the prime minister to be taken hostages before they could agree to withdraw from the army.

At first glance, many people will think that Da Song is at a disadvantage.

But in fact, it was the Jurchens who were really at a disadvantage. But the lion who finished Yan Zongwang opened his mouth. It still has to be taken out for discussion.

Zhao Huan is now discussing this matter with Geng Nanzhong and others, but the news has already reached the ears of the seed master.

At first glance, the planter couldn't laugh or cry.

If he had followed his thoughts, he would have started a war without saying a word. …,

You don't want to be more than 40,000 or 50,000 people, but I do have more than 200,000 people in the Great Song Dynasty; You have become a lone soldier, and even food and grass have become a problem. To make such a non-trivial request. It's too arrogant. But looking at the current situation, since Zhao Huan is discussing this matter, maybe it will be possible to agree to Yan Zongwang's request.

The way of the seed master also has his principles.

I can cater to the emperor's wishes, and I can even agree to you increasing the annual coin, but the three towns must not be ceded out.

As early as the reign of Emperor Huizong, the Jurchens had the idea of three towns.

However, on that occasion, due to various reasons, the imperial court did not agree to the Jurchens' request. But this time. If Zhao Huan is in a hurry to make peace, it is impossible to say that it is really possible to agree. In this case, the way of the seed master is absolutely unacceptable......

"Ji Zhong. Wanyan Zong dared to be so arrogant, and he also saw the intention of the official family to fight again.

I can tolerate other things, only the three towns, and I must not cede them. However, the battle of Chaoyangmen had too great an impact on the official family. I'm worried that the official family is afraid that the thieves will fight again, and will agree to Yan Zongwang's request. If this is the case, I am afraid that the thieves will be more arrogant, and I will be in the northern part of the Song Dynasty. There is no more door to guard...... It's really difficult for me to be a big song. ”

Ji Zhong is the word of Zhang Shuye.

He nodded, and also very much agreed with the statement of the Seed Master.

"I know what the public says.

However, I am afraid that we have to call the shots in this matter. If the official family ceded it with all its might, it would be difficult for you and me to stop it...... This thing. Is there a solution? ”

Seed Master Dao paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands in his hands, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "Ji Zhong, the top priority is to restore the confidence of the officials and no longer fear the thieves. We need a big win. A real victory that can excite the official family can eliminate the impact of the previous battle of Chaoyangmen. Do you think you can sneak attack Mu Huogang? ”

"Sneak attack on the Golden Camp?"

Uncle Zhang was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"If it can be successful, I think the fear of the official family for the thief can be reduced a lot."

He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "It's just that this battle must be won, and the officials must know about it, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble." Why don't you go into the palace immediately and discuss this matter with the officials, how about it? ”

Since it is a sneak attack, the key is that one is strange and the other is fast.

The planter frowned and hesitated.

According to his thoughts, this matter could not be told to Zhao Huan, and while Yan Zongwang was still waiting for news, he sent troops to sneak attack overnight, and after catching him off guard, he would know with Zhao Huan. But he also knew that if he really acted behind Zhao Huan's back, it would be self-defeating. If he wins, Zhao Huan will think that he has self-respect and will be suspicious; If he loses, Zhao Huan will also be dissatisfied with him. The final result may make Zhao Huan make up his mind.

The Seed Master Dao is not attached to this official position, but he does not want to contradict Zhao Huan at this time.

He thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to Zhang Shuye's idea, "Since Ji Zhong also agrees, he will call Shang Boji, and we will enter the palace immediately to ask for a meeting." ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Yuyin returned to Guanyin Lane, and it was getting late.

Yan Nu and the others were also extremely excited when they learned the news that Yu Yin would be appointed as the head of the prince's court.

"With the relationship between Brother Xiaoyi and the prince, there will be a lot less elbows in the future, and you can be much more comfortable...... However, why did you let the sister of the Wang family enter the palace to protect Emperor Roufu? Huan Huan is in the palace, there are so many masters to protect her, why bother to work for the sister of the Wang family? ”

Yu Yin didn't know how to answer.

Could it be that he told Yan Nu that he knew that this Kaifeng would definitely be breached.

That Roufu Emperor will be taken captive by the Jurchens and suffer a lot? When this kind of thing is said, no matter how much Yan Nu believes in him, he will not agree with it.

"Commander Ma was killed, and the sister of the Wang family is alone in Kaifeng, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it. …,

If she doesn't get it right, she may wait for the battle of Kaifeng to end and then return to her hometown, wouldn't it be a good thing to delay Thirteen Lang? ”

Yu Yin thought about it, and could only pull Gao Pet out as a shield.

"Thirteen Lang has a dull temperament, and he finally moved his heart, so he has to fulfill it.

It's not easy to live in Kaifeng, and you are different from Sister Wang and Sister Jiu'er, if you don't have an income, it will be difficult to continue. Besides, it was really difficult for her to be a widow and be here alone. If you get the care of Emperor Roufu, you can not only stand in Kaifeng, but also fulfill the good deeds of Thirteen Lang. Hehe, I also made this decision for the sake of Thirteen Lang. ”

Yan Nu, Yang Jinlian and the others listened and immediately nodded again and again.

At the moment, Yu Yin was also afraid that he would leak his mouth, so he used the excuse that he would have something to do tomorrow and rest early.

There was nothing to do this night, and early the next morning, Yu Yin went to the military headquarters to go through the formalities, and then went to the Yanfeng Cang camp.

Zhao Chen instructed him to bring all his subordinates over.

Although Yan Fengcang's subordinates suffered heavy casualties, they were indeed a valuable asset after experiencing a bloody battle.

When Yu Yin arrived in Yanfeng Cang, he summoned Zhu Meng to say that Chen Dong and Dong Xian were three.

Hearing that he would be included in the prince's mansion, Zhu Mengshu and the others were also very happy, and nodded again and again in agreement.

They also know the difficulties of Yu Yin.

Even if you come out of the military department and stay in the front of the palace, it is not a long-term solution.

Gao Yu's body is getting worse and worse...... If he is well in the front of the temple, he can have a care; If Gao Yu leaves, it will be another trouble to change someone to take over the front division of the palace. Yu Yin is not treated well in the court, rather than like this, it is better to go to the prince's mansion to have a good time. At least in the prince's mansion, not only does the prince take care of him, but he also has less elbows.

Yu Yin saw that everyone did not object, so he no longer hesitated.

He immediately ordered Zhu Mengshu and others to count the roster and rectify it.

As for himself, after arranging things, he hurried to the East Palace to report.

After all, from today onwards, he will be serving by the side of the crown prince......

Who knows, as soon as he entered the East Bedroom Pavilion, Zhao Chen pulled him to the side, and said mysteriously: "Xiao Yi knows, there is going to be a war again!" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
