Chapter 37: Zong Wang's Opinion

In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Zhao Gou finally knew the identity of Marquis Wuxin from Wang Boyan, and it turned out that this Marquis of Wuxin, who was ranked alongside Shang Ying, was actually Liu Xiu, Emperor Wu of Hanguang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Gou's sweat came down in an instant, indeed, he had the intention of being Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, but, building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king, now that his career is at most in its infancy, some people have already seen that he has plans to be the emperor himself, which is definitely not a good thing. Zhao Gou wiped the sweat from his palms with his robe, coughed twice, and said reluctantly, "I really don't know who Wu Xinhou is, if this word spreads, this marshal will ......."

Zhao Gou was in a dilemma here, but Wang Boyan over there arched his hand and said, "My subordinates understand." ”

Zhao Gouxin said what do you understand? I was about to ask Wang Boyan, don't you want to kill people? Kang Lu came in and said, "King, Lord Zongze asks to see you." After speaking, Kang Lu took two steps closer, and added in a low voice, "King, Master Zong's face is solemn, and his eyes are full of tears. ”

Zhao Gou heard that Zong Ze was coming, and listened to Kang Xu's description of Zong Ze's expression, and understood that he must have known about Song Qinzong, so he quickly rubbed his face, put on a grief-stricken look, and then tidied up his crown and clothes, and motioned for Kang Lu to invite Zong Ze in.

I saw the old general Zong Ze, as if he had aged a lot overnight, his eyes were red and swollen, his steps were staggering, he drove to Zhao Gou's side, grabbed his sleeve and said, "Generalissimo, the king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the humiliation of the ministers is dead." The city of Bianliang is broken, the king of the country has suffered such a great humiliation, the old minister is better to live than to die......" After speaking, he cried bitterly, tears flowed down the wrinkles on his face, brushing down.

The current Zhao Gou, although he thinks differently from Zong Ze, but he has admired Zong Ze for more than 20 years in the end, seeing him cry, it is inevitable that he will be sad, and his eyes will be red in an instant, he held Zong Ze's hand and said, "Old general, please ......" Zhao Gou thought about it, the old general asked for condolences, but it felt as if he was looking forward to Song Qinzong's death in this way, which was inappropriate; Zhao Gou wanted to say again, old general, I am willing to spend the country with you to defend the land and Qin King, but I feel as if I don't want to be a king and am unwilling. Helpless, the conversation was deadlocked in the middle of the road, and Zhao Gou couldn't go on, so he had to pretend to be so sad that he couldn't speak.

After a while, Zong Ze's mood stabilized a little, and he said, "The old minister asked the generalissimo to quickly integrate the Hebei army and go to Bianliang Qinwang!" ”

Zhao Gouzheng was worried about saying something to comfort Zong Ze, Wang Boyan was very considerate and grabbed Zong Ze, put him on a chair and sat down, and said, "Zong Shuai, don't be impatient, the matter of sending troops still needs to be discussed from a long and practical perspective." ”

Zong Ze was stunned, he didn't seem to have thought that there would be anyone who opposed sending troops to King Qin, so Zong Wang and the two debated.

Wang Boyan said that there were only more than 7,000 volunteers in the volunteers, and most of the soldiers were recruits who had just been trained for more than a month.

Zong Ze frowned and said, the volunteers are all loyal and loyal people, they joined the team of the generalissimo, and they had planned to sacrifice their lives for the Jiangshan Society, but now the country is in danger, and the volunteers are brave enough to die righteously, how can there be a sharp knife that refuses to swing out because of miserliness? Ask the generalissimo to order the volunteers to march towards Tokyo, make a surprise attack on the Golden Camp, and snatch out the official's house.

Wang Boyan and Zhao Gou listened to Zong Ze's words, and their hearts were chuckled, in Zong Ze's eyes, they were sharp knives, but in fact, in the hearts of these two people, they were the ones who wielded knives, this is the irreconcilable contradiction between the two at this time. However, thinking like this in my heart, I can't say this on my lips, I just listened to Wang Boyan forcibly change the topic and report that the generalissimo, at this time, Xiangzhou plus Cizhou, the grain and grass in the two states are now only enough for the needs of the volunteers in February, and the troops and people in various places are still gathering to the generalissimo, according to the views of his subordinates, the generalissimo should be transferred to the Daimyo Mansion, and in the future, he can go to Yingtianfu.

The three armies did not move, the grain and grass went first, and Zhao Gou really had a deep understanding of this sentence after living in the army. People are iron, rice is steel, the people can't eat, they have to rebel, the army can't eat, they have to rebel, moreover, the army not only has to eat, but also has to eat enough, eat a little less every day, and they can't run and can't afford to fight. Therefore, if you want to maintain combat effectiveness, you must prepare at least three catties of husked millet for each soldier every day, and one stone of millet per person in a month. An army of 10,000 people is 10,000 stone of grain and grass. If it was fine to stay only at the station, if the army moved, in the era when there were no cars and trains, to ensure that so much food accompanied the army, it would require a huge number of miscellaneous livestock to be transported. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought the Xiongnu and supplied grain and grass with the strength of the whole country, but seven or eight out of ten of the grain and grass were eaten by the miscellaneous servants during transportation. The consumption of grain and grass is such a huge but absolute basic expense, which makes Zhao Gou worry now that in the future, nine out of ten generals who defect to him will come for food. If they can't be fed, then these troops will probably kill him before the Jin people.

Therefore, looking for food, for Zhao Gou, is the absolute just need, he heard Wang Boyan say this, nodded again and again, and asked, "There is food in the Daimyo's Mansion and Yingtianfu?" ”

"Yes", Wang Boyan replied, "My subordinates have just received a letter from the Daimyo's Mansion Yin, and the Daimyo's Mansion has 250,000 stone of grain in stock, and Yingtianfu," he said a little excited, swallowing a mouthful of spit, "Emperor Daojun respected the gods and Taoist, and hoarded millions of stone corn in Nanjing Yingtianfu to support the Taoist priests." ”

When Zhao Gou heard Wang Boyan say this, his eyes lit up, millions of stone millet, which meant that he didn't have to worry about food and grass for at least a year. It seems that feudal superstition is not all bad. What's more, since Tianfu is called Nanjing, the transportation is probably very convenient, and it is also convenient to mobilize grain and grass from all over the country. It's just that Zhao Gou looked at the map hanging on the wall, it seemed that Ying Tianfu was quite close to Bianliang, and he used to be easy to engage with the Jin people, so Zhao Gou nodded and said vaguely, "Wang Shuai is reasonable, the grain and grass are urgent, indeed, it's time to go to the Daimyo's Mansion, 250,000 stone corn is enough for the volunteers, and King Qin's army needs to be reorganized." ”

"Generalissimo", Zong Ze heard that Zhao Gou did not rush to Bianliang, and said hurriedly, "The official family and the Daojun Emperor are still besieged by the Jin army. ”

Zhao Gou sighed and said, "Zongshuai, the official family and the Daojun Emperor are besieged by the Jin army, if we take the liberty to fight and lose, the Great Song Dynasty will have no possibility of turning over, and if we win, the Jin people and dogs will jump over the wall in a hurry and hurt the two saints, what should we do?" ”

Zhao Gou's words made Zong Ze and Wang Boyan all shocked, and both of them actually whispered to him not to talk like this again, because the official family has the destiny of heaven and should be fine.

Zhao Gou frowned, and said in his heart how could the Song people be so superstitious even scholars and doctors. He used to read history books, and he always felt that the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were a little strange, the emperor was captured by the enemy country, and they all cried and shouted for Song Gaozong to send troops to snatch it back. After the weather was warm, the Jin soldiers returned to the north to escape the summer, and Zong Ze really took the army to ambush on the way to the Jin people's evacuation, preparing to rob. Zhao Gou thought in modern times that if the hostages were in the hands of the ferocious Jinren, even if the Song army was super powerful, it couldn't be robbed! Aren't you afraid of the golden people tearing up the ticket? Now, he understands it, because in the eyes of the superstitious Song people, the Mandate of Heaven will naturally protect their true dragon son of heaven, and if Song Huizong and Song Qinzong are torn up by the Jin people, it means that the Mandate of Heaven has changed, and the two have not been sheltered
