Chapter 335: Undercurrent (61)
"I didn't just recruit you for your sake today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Song Woo-in continued.
Could it be that there is something else? He Tengxiao secretly thought to himself, I don't know what else Song Yuren summoned him over this time, besides his He Tengxiao's incident?
"I've been in the palace for a long time, and things outside aren't so clear." The emperor, who has been in the deep palace all year round, said. There was a bit of helplessness in the tone.
He Tengxiao didn't know Song Yuren's intention in saying this, in view of Song Yuren's special identity and the trouble he He Tengxiao had just broken into. He Tengxiao felt that it was better to be a man with his tail between his legs.
He Tengxiao doesn't want to cause more trouble now.
"The emperor's heart is as bright as a mirror." He Tengxiao flattered Song Yuren very hypocritically. When He Tengxiao said this, he felt very disgusted.
"The mirror is as bright as a mirror, I don't have the mirror lake of the Shoufu family here, and there is no mirror lake pavilion, and my heart is not as bright as the mirror." Song Yuren said contemptuously.
He Tengxiao secretly felt a chill down his spine, and he had to admire the strength of the spy agency in this era, even He Tengxiao had been to Xu Hongqian's house, and the two of them were still talking in the Jinghu Pavilion in the Mirror Lake.
It seems that the people of Jinyiwei and the Detective Factory are not vegetarians, at least in Jingshi City, your every move is in their eyes. Thinking of being secretly stared at He Tengxiao all the time, it was very uncomfortable in my heart.
"Sinners deserve to die." Since Song Yuren already knew that he had been to Xu Hongqian's house, He Tengxiao had no intention of hiding Song Yuren, of course, he couldn't hide it, He Tengxiao simply admitted it.
"Sin? Where did your sin come from? Song Yuren said unhurriedly, "Lord Shoufu's invitation, if you don't go, aren't you too ignorant to lift?" Shousuke-sama doesn't give face, how can you gain a foothold in the future. ā
"If you give it, you can't get a foothold." He Tengxiao muttered.
Song Yuren couldn't help laughing, He Tengxiao showed his true temperament at this time: "But you don't know the importance of doing this, the first assistant's face is given, and the second assistant's face is not given." ā
"This Da Zhao is the emperor's Da Zhao, and other people's face can not be given, as long as the emperor's face is enough." He Tengxiao said with a smile.
"Alright, don't be poor." Song Yuren didn't want to continue to talk to He Tengxiao, and got down to business, "I want to know what the situation in Liaodong is now, a small Manshu clan can rise to this point today and pose a threat to my Da Zhao, I'm afraid it's not a day's work, and it's not accidental." ā
He Tengxiao is the general of the Liaodong family, and he knows the situation in Liaodong from He Tengxiao's mouth, and how the Manshu people rose, which is more reliable than other people's mouths. This is one of the reasons why Song Yuren recruited He Teng Xiao today.
At present, the imperial court is struggling, and the Manshu clan has become the enemy of the greatest threat to the Great Zhao Empire, and Song Yuren wants to understand this enemy through He Tengxiao.
Song Yuren's previous understanding of the Manshu tribe and the Manshu Liao army was mostly through the performance of his subordinates, but many of these subordinates, like him, had never been to Liaodong. Even if it is an official in Liaodong, he writes a lot of notes to Song Yuren to report good news but not bad news, and he does not dare to tell Song Yuren about local affairs in his own office, for fear of incurring Song Yuren's punishment, this is the norm in Dazhao officialdom, and Song Yuren is also very clear about this.
Regarding the recital that came up below, Song Yuren only doubted the letter, believed five points, and kept five points. There is no full faith.
Another channel is the information about the Liao army obtained from the Liaodong region through the spies of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. This information can be regarded as first-hand information, and it is much more reliable than those notes.
However, these low-level agents are limited in their ability and often collect a lot of information, but it is difficult to extract useful and important information from it.
"What does the emperor want to know?" He Tengxiao asked, Song Yuren wanted to know the current situation in Liaodong, He Tengxiao did not mean to avoid this topic, He Tengxiao also hoped that Song Yuren could pay more attention to Liaodong after learning about the situation in Liaodong, which would also be good for him, after all, He Tengxiao's foundation was still in Liaodong. If Liaodong can be kept, it is naturally the best.
"Can Liaodong be saved?" Song Yuren's eyes were blazing, and he looked directly into He Tengxiao's eyes, and He Tengxiao was a little hairy.
The Liao army attacked the city of Jingshi. The Qinwang army arrived one after another, and Song Yuren was a person who understood, knowing that it was a matter of time before the Liao army withdrew from the Central Plains, and the Liao army did not yet have the strength to attack the city of Xiajing.
After the withdrawal of the Liao army, the problem of Jingshi City was naturally solved. After the Jingshi City was safe, the first thing Song Yuren wanted to do was to integrate his strength and take revenge on the Liao army, so as to avenge the Liao army's breakthrough and encirclement of the Jingshi City.
Under such circumstances, it is particularly important to objectively understand the situation in the eastern Liaoning region.
"It depends on whether the emperor wants half of Liaodong or the whole of Liaodong." He Tengxiao said.
There is great uncertainty about whether the Great Zhao Empire can keep Liaodong, and He Tengxiao is not very aware of this problem.
Manshu Liao State is a difficult opponent, especially Wanyan Shengcong, the Liao Emperor of the Liao State of the Manshu Nationality, He Tengxiao has to admit that he is also a king, and Wanyan Shengcong, as a king, is even much stronger than Song Yuren in terms of ability.
Manshu Liao Kingdom is already strong, and with such a male lord, how can Manshu Liao Kingdom be easy to deal with? That's not all, Wanyan Shengcong is assisted by a capable person like Chen Yankai.
"What does the whole of Liaodong say, and what does half of Liaodong say? I'm a big Zhao and a big country in the Heavenly Empire, so can't I still take a small state? Song Yuren frowned, listening to He Tengxiao's tone, Manshu Liaoguo seemed to be difficult to deal with.
Although Song Yuren had already made this psychological plan, after hearing He Tengxiao's tone, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
"If the emperor wants to recover the entire Liaodong, he will not have more than ten or twenty years to cheer up, and he will not be able to recover the entire Liaodong. This is the entire Liaodong that the minister said. He Tengxiao said, this is He Tengxiao's heart, and now wanting to recover Liaodong is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Although the Liao State has not yet been able to match the Great Zhao in terms of national strength, at least militarily, the Liao Empire has formed a crushing advantage over the Zhao Empire. In this case, if you want to recover Liaodong, it is easy to impeach?
"What about half of Liaodong?" Song Yuren asked.
"The so-called half of Liaodong in the mouth of the minister is to hold the remaining territory of Liaodong, which is what the so-called half of Liaodong refers to." He Tengxiao said.
Defending the remaining territory of eastern Liao, preserving the western Liaoning corridor, and curbing the expansion of the Liao Empire are the most optimistic and realistic approaches at present.
"Keep the remaining territory of eastern Liaodong and hold the key corridor of western Liaoning." He Tengxiao said, "At this time, in the opinion of the minister, the most practical approach at present. (To be continued.) )
