Chapter 111: Council (3)

What a crazy tone! This is everyone's evaluation of Zhao Gu at this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Zhao Guangyi laughed: "Okay, good, worthy of my Zhao family." ”

Everyone was directly speechless, although Zhao Gu is also surnamed Zhao, but it has nothing to do with you, Zhao, right? When did you become your Zhao family's son?

Zhao Guangyi nodded again as if he hadn't heard it: "Hearing Zhao Gu's words, I couldn't help but open my mouth, Lu Aiqing, what do you see about this matter?" ”

Lu Mengzheng was silent for a long time, and finally sighed quietly: "Minister...... No objection. ”

If there is no objection, that is, it is in favor of sending troops.

Zhao Guangyi laughed again: "Okay, then this matter is decided, the Privy Council immediately issued a military order, ordering the three yamen to prepare soldiers and horses, and after the expedition rate and time are set, they will immediately go to Liao." ”

Immediately, the Privy Council and the officials of the three government stepped forward to receive the decree, and the ministers were even more eagerly looking forward to it, and they couldn't wait to shout: "Choose me, choose my ......." ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "In addition, the Middle Academy and the three envoys still need to work together, and they must prepare the required grain and grass before the army starts. ”

Zhao Pu, Lu Mengzheng and the two officials of the three envoys should also be, Zhao Guangyi saw that everything was in order, and once again proposed the court proposal.

This court meeting was to discuss the ministers who went on this expedition, that is, the generals who led the army to fight.

Zhang Qixian, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, said: "The battle to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun this time is to fight quickly and quickly, and not to give the Liao State time to react. ”

"Is there a candidate in Aiqing's heart?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"This ......." Zhang Qixian looked at Zhao Guangyi, and then at Lu Guogong, who had gray hair, and seemed to stop talking.

Zhao Guangyi saw his movements in his eyes, pondered for a long time, and finally ordered: "Cao Bin, the Duke of Luguo, can be the main general of the middle lane." ”

Lu Guogong took a quick step forward excitedly, and said with a choked fist: "Minister Cao Bin has the order." ”

Zhao Guangyi then said: "Who else can be the main general?" ”

Another Privy Council official, Zhao Changyan, said: "Your Majesty, the Korean Duke Pan Meiben can also be a general, but he ...... it." ”

Pan Mei?

Zhao Gu on the side couldn't help but feel his spirit when he heard this name, this name was extremely well-known in later generations, and it was more than Zhao Guangyi.

Just because in the famous film and television work "Yang Family General", Pan Meinai is the biggest villain among them, saying that it is the golden knife general Yang Ye who led the seven sons to the expedition, but was betrayed by Pan Mei and died in the battle of Jinsha, and the seven sons were also killed and wounded, and the Yang family was full of loyalty and martyrdom by him.

However, in terms of historical facts, Pan Mei and Yang Ye's death have nothing to do with it, but there is a lack of a villain in "Yang Jiajiang", so he was pulled over to take the blame, causing him to suffer more than a thousand years of infamy in vain.

According to historical records, in the second Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, Cao Bin, Yang Ye, Pan Mei and others attacked the Liao State in three ways, but they were defeated due to the lack of timely grain and grass, and Yang Ye was captured alive in order to cover the retreat of the army, and finally resolutely refused to surrender and died of hunger strike in prison.

In this incident, Pan Mei, as the main general, although he has the responsibility of being a bystander, he has no subjective responsibility, after all, the army is defeated like a mountain, and he cannot control it alone.

But Yang Ye died in battle after all, and Pan Mei was also stripped of his official position and title after he came back, although he was later made up, but his reputation was ruined after all, and since then, he stayed at home all day without going out, and never came to the court, Zhao Changyan was so twisted when he mentioned him.

Like him, Cao Bin, the Duke of Lu, did not have a good record in that Northern Expedition, and he was punished accordingly after he came back, but the Duke of Lu ruled the army very strictly, and was known as the King of Hades, and the failure of the Northern Expedition was not his fault, so all the officials in the court were very considerate of him, unlike Pan Mei, who was tired to death Yang Ye, resulting in facelessness.

For Cao Bin and Pan Mei, Zhao Gu has always maintained a sense of reverence in his heart, for no other reason, just because in the era of a certain Song Dynasty emperor in later generations, a Zhaoxun Pavilion was built, and its ** enshrined twenty-four heroes who had made outstanding contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, known as the twenty-four heroes of the Zhaoxun Pavilion, Pan Mei and Cao Bin were among the top-ranked heroes.

You must know that although the Zhaoxun Pavilion of the Song Dynasty was built in imitation of the Lingyan Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty advocated force, so the heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion were mostly military generals, and there were not many civil ministers, but the Zhaoxun Pavilion of the Song Dynasty was just the opposite.

What's more, they are still ranked very high, far above many civil officials.

Zhao Gu has reason to believe that if the Song Dynasty also advocated force like the Tang Dynasty and praised the generals, then with the status of Cao Bin and Pan Mei, I am afraid that they would never lose to Cheng Yanjin, Qin Shubao and others in the Tang Dynasty.

In the Zichen Palace, when they heard Pan Mei's name, everyone was silent, even Zhao Guangyi was no exception, he didn't want to reactivate Pan Mei, but Yang Ye had just died a few years ago, and if he was activated at this time, he was afraid that it would cause criticism.

In the midst of his troubles, Zhao Guangyi suddenly saw that Zhao Gu was looking around with a thief's head, and he couldn't help but be annoyed.

"Good boy, you're quite comfortable."

With a roll of his eyes, Zhao Guangyi thought about it and said, "Where is Zhuozhou Valley?" ”

Zhao Gu was stunned, why did you call me again? You don't want to ask me about this kind of thing, do you?

Facts have proved that what you want, Zhao Guangyi really wanted to ask Zhao Gu about something.

I only heard Zhao Guangyi say: "Zhao Gu, what do you think about the main general of the expedition?" ”

Zhao Gu was helpless, so he had to reply: "The minister thinks that this lord is reasonable, the Korean prince Pan Mei once went to Liao, and he knows the situation over there better, if he is the main general of the way, he will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Zhao Guangyi's gaze swept over a corner of the Zichen Hall and said, "But it's ......." ”

Zhao Gu pondered slightly, and immediately understood, aren't you just afraid that after using Pan Mei, the people of the Yang family will feel uncomfortable?

So, Zhao Gu said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is another person in this court, who is also well aware of the situation of Liao, if you take him as the main general of the road, and go out with Lu Guogong and Han Gong, the plan to recover Liao will be regarded as the completion of the first half." ”

"Oh? Who is it? Zhao Guangyi asked.

"Golden Knife Yang Ye!" Zhao Gu said word by word.

"Ahh

"How is he!"

The audience was amazed.

Zhao Guangyi saw that Zhao Gu's expression didn't look like a fake, but he couldn't figure it out, wasn't Yang Ye already dead in battle, how could he lead the army to the battle?

Hearing Zhao Guangyi's question, Zhao Gu smiled: "Although the golden knife Yang Ye is dead, the golden knife is still there." ”
