Chapter 10: But the Shame of the Sword Asks Rong Zhao (8)
[The second update, there is another chapter, which may be later.] 】
"That's all that the Southern Dynasty record says?"
"Returning to the Privy Council, this is indeed what he said. The Song people are really arrogant, I have 200,000 iron horses, as long as Father Shang and the privy give an order, they will be able to set foot on the Yanmen Gate in a few days, and they dare to be so rude! ”
The envoy who returned from Yanmen County in a bad mood, in front of Xiao Shisan, the privy deputy envoy of the Northern Court, trembled and told his experience and dialogue 1510. Speaking of the worst, he couldn't bear the anger in his heart, and almost scolded in front of Xiao Shisan.
Although he was only sent to join the army, the exchange with the Song people was related to the overall situation, and Xiao Shisan still recruited him for detailed inquiry. From the conversation to the reception, every detail was tirelessly asked.
The anger of the Song people, Xiao Shisan also expected it in advance. The land has been cut and the boundaries have been demarcated, and it has only been a few years since they came to fight the grass valley again, which is tolerable and unbearable. It's normal to be angry, but I didn't expect the anger of the Song people to be carried throughout. From the candidates who came forward to receive them, as well as the location of the reception, it can be seen that the Song people are deliberately showing their anger, and even make people feel a little pretentious.
However, just like Da Liao's previous attack on the new shop in Yanmen Village, it was said that it was done by bandits. The Song people stopped the two caravans, and put the owner of the caravan in prison, and also found an excuse to cover people's eyes, instead of blatantly saying that this was revenge - in fact, it was a very clear and clear revenge, just poke open the window paper, but judging from the reason that the Song people found, in fact, there is still room for redemption, as long as a few heads are cut casually, so that the Song people can have steps to go down, this matter can probably be over.
But Xiao 13 was not ready to do this, so it would not be easy for him to go down the steps. There will surely be people who say that he is too soft on the Southern Dynasty, which is not good for his popularity. And for the time being, he didn't feel the need, in the current situation, there was no need to please the Song people, and even try to distract them - this was an order from the Great Liao Shang's father. Otherwise, he would not have ordered the border army in Shuozhou to go to a Song people's military shop to fight.
It's just that having said that, a small attack on the border military shop was not a simple provocation, it was meaningless, and it was too underestimated Xiao Shisan. Xiao 13 wanted to take the opportunity to see the reaction of the Song people. Especially the reaction of the new envoy of Hedong Road, what kind of edict he received, how much power he had, and how he controlled his subordinates, all of which can be found out from the response of the Song people.
From these days, the Song people's reaction to this matter can already be seen that there are some problems between the Hedong Army, especially between Daizhou and Taiyuan Mansion.
Although Han Gang's fame is great, it doesn't seem to be very effective in Hedong, and there is no legendary situation where he is famous in the army and his words.
Daizhou's revenge for the new shop in Yanmen Village was so fast that people didn't expect it. Judging from the itinerary of Han Gang's northern tour that came up from the detailed report, Liu Shunqing did not ask for his consent, and was completely self-sufficient.
But after Han Gang arrived in Daizhou, he didn't ask for the guilt from this Xingshi - at least he didn't inquire about it.
But Xiao Shisan didn't believe that Han Gang could really endorse Liu Shunqing's behavior. A young official who has not received any setbacks since joining the government can tolerate the self-assertion of his subordinates. The four words young and vigorous are simply labels attached to Han Gang, otherwise how could he have arrived in Hedong and went north to Daizhou, which is a little too positive.
Han Gang will acquiesce in what Liu Shunqing did, his concerns, Xiao Shisan can also understand one or two, and if he wants to come to Han Gang, he doesn't want to be evaluated as weak to the outside world, so he can only follow Liu Shunqing's footsteps and continue to walk.
But Han Gang is not without a counterattack. He treated the envoys of Da Liao too deliberately slowly, and transferred the power to entertain the envoys from Daizhou Prefecture to Yanmen County below, from which Xiao Shisan could see Han Gang's suppression of Liu Shunqing.
In order to beat your opponent perfectly, you must know your opponent thoroughly. Correspondingly, if you can understand a person thoroughly, you can defeat him perfectly.
When Yelu Yixin and the abolished prince competed, Xiao Shisanhui chose to stand on Yelu Yixin's side, because he knew the deposed prince Yelu Jun too well.
With a wave of his hand, the envoy who was still talking nonsense retreated, and Xiao Shisan felt that at least this envoy had made him know a little more about Han Gang and Liu Shunqing.
But it's not enough, thinking so, Xiao 13 ordered someone to recruit the southwest patrol stationed in Shuozhou, and asked him about the side of the border, what actions of the Song people need more attention recently.
"According to yesterday's report, the guards seem to be tighter than ever...... Presumably to strengthen the guard. If you want to order someone to pull out a military shop of the Song people, you will have to spend a lot of effort. ”
“…… It's just a precaution, and he still doesn't dare to cross the border to fight back, which is much worse than Yang Liulang back then. The Song people can be said to be inferior to the generation. ”
When the Empress Dowager Chengtian took Emperor Shengzong to the south to attack the Song Dynasty, because she was not good at attacking the city, starting from the Guangxin Army guarded by Yang Yanzhao, she continued to bypass the Liangmen and Suicheng cities with the name of copper and iron, and went all the way south to reach the Yellow River on the bank of the Yellow River. When the two armies confronted each other, Yang Yanzhao, who had been sticking to the Guangxin Army, immediately led the army into the territory of Liao. Although the Liao people hate Yang Liulang to the core, they still admire him a lot. The Yang Invincible Temple on the ancient north entrance of Yanshan Pass is for Yang Ye, and Yang Yanzhao is also a part of the worship.
"Even if a hero is like Yang Ye, he will inevitably be defeated along the way, even if Han Gang wants to make meritorious contributions, in the process of his meritorious service, there are many people who want to stop him. It's not that easy to do things. ”
……………………
Located in the mountains, the Yanmen Village on the top of the mountain is indeed a dangerous pass.
The east and west mountains of Yanmen Village are steeply pulled, there is a road like a line, circling and rugged, and the city is located at the top of the pole. However, the rocks on both sides are much higher than those of Guancheng.
Looking up to the sky, the autumn geese that traveled south early seemed to be flying much lower than usual, and only flew on the mountainside of the two peaks across the city. It is worthy of being Yanmen, and it is worthy of being the first of the nine stops in the world.
Compared with the Fangcheng Pass, which is also one of the nine fortresses in the world, the terrain is a hundred times steeper. It is a real one-man relationship, and it is not open for ten thousand people. Since the Warring States Li Mu garrisoned here to fight against the Xiongnu, Yanmen Pass is the famous Xiongguan in the world.
At this time, Yanmen is actually composed of Yanmen and Xicheng Erzhai, and on the same dangerous road, one south and one north set up two defense lines that echo before and after. The danger of the two villages leaning on the peaks can shatter any illusion that enters the customs from here.
Han Gang is in Yanmen Village. As an envoy, he can only come here, and if he wants to go further and get closer to the border Xicheng Village, Liu Shunqing and a group of staff members who are accompanying him on the side will not agree. Just a few hours ago, Han Gang had already had the experience of being disobeyed by his subordinates once, and he didn't plan to come back a second time.
A few days ago, I heard that a full 2,000 cavalry were stationed in Shuozhou. The atmosphere in Daizhou City suddenly became tense.
Han Gang originally expected to return to Taiyuan Mansion in the next two days - although the Lan and Volcano in the west are also borders, but the roads there are not suitable for large groups of people to travel, so there is no need to patrol - but he encountered the Liao cavalry starting to move south to the border, and if he left at this time, it would be easy to give people a charge of fleeing from the battle, but it would be too wrong.
So Han Gang simply chose to go to the border military village to inspect and declare his courage.
"I didn't expect that Yanmen also has Yang Invincible Temple." Han Gang visited Li Mu's Jingbian Temple, and after offering incense and offerings, he was led to a place located in the southwest of the city. He looked at the golden body in the temple in surprise, but he didn't expect that this was the temple dedicated to Yang Ye.
Hearing Han Gang's words, Liu Shunqing was also surprised, "Could it be that Qin Feng also has a temple dedicated to Taiwei Yang?" ”
Liu Shunqing has also heard a little about Han Gang's experience, he has never been to Hedong in the past, and Yang Ye has only fought in Hedong in his life, and there is no intersection between the two at all.
"No, it's the Nanjing Road of the Liao people, there is one there." Han Gang said to Liu Shunqing, "I also heard from a friend who sent an envoy to Liao. At the pass leading to Zhongjing Road in the Liao Kingdom, there is a Yang Invincible Temple, which is the temple built for the Liao people to feel their loyalty and bravery. I heard that the Song Chen, who was sent to the Liao State, basically had to incense in the temple once when he passed through the Gubeikou. ”
Han Gang once talked to Su Song about Yang Ye - it was the eighth year of Xining, and it happened that Yang Wenguang, who was the deputy head of the soldiers and horses of Dingzhou Road at the time, died of illness. Han Gang and Su Song sat together, and naturally it was the three generations of the Yang family.
Yang Ye and Yang Yanzhao were not there, but Yang Wenguang served in Shaanxi, Gangu City was built by him, Han Gang's father Han Qianliu once transported grain and grass for Gangu City, and the death of Han Gang's two brothers was also inseparable from the construction of Gangu City. It does have some origins.
"Su Zirong [Su Song] was sent out of Beijing that year, and after arriving in Liaojing, the most surprising thing was the Yang Invincible Temple on the Gubeikou. I remember that he also wrote a poem - doing the same thing as most of the envoys. Han Gang sighed lightly, "It's a pity that they are all masterpieces engraved on the mountain stone of Yang Wuving's Temple, and I listened to it once at the beginning, but I can't remember it anymore." ”
"Han Jiafei's general Xiong Zhen fought to the death in Yanshan to protect my division. The prestige of the enemy is indestructible, and it is still ridiculed in the ancestral hall. ”
memorized all of Su Song's poems describing Yang Invincible Temple, this is not Han Gang, but Huang Shang. Han Gang has never paid much attention to poetry, and Su Song's level is not very good, although he heard Su Song read it, but he forgot it all in a blink of an eye. I didn't expect Huang Sheng to hear about it and remember it.
Huang Sheng owed: "I have visited Bachelor Su in the next place, and I have heard Bachelor Su talk about some experiences when he was in Liao. ”
"I see." Han Gang nodded, this matter is not surprising.
