Chapter 397: The Sad Father and Son

Could it be that my father chose a decisive battle with the Liao army because of the pressure of the appearance of Lu Jiancheng and Shan Futian? Peng Yuqian guessed wildly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

My father was a man who understood, and my father was known for his steadiness in doing things, and my father would never have made such a foolish decision under a sober situation. Father is forcing the Qin army to a dead end.

Qin Jun was created by his father, and it was the hard work of his father in this life, how could his father force Qin Jun to a dead end?

The more Peng Yuqian looks, the more contradictory he becomes. It feels like my head is going to explode.

But Peng Yuqian didn't dare to ask, and it was disrespectful to his father to ask such a question directly. How can you have such disrespectful thoughts about your father!

"Yu Qian, do you have any thoughts for your father?"

Peng Chaodong has been in the officialdom for decades, even if he is a stunned young man, he has already become a person at this age. The official (field) of the imperial court is really a peculiar place. Peng Yuqian's thoughts, how could Peng Chaodong not see it?

Peng Yuqian's erratic expression along the way had clearly told Peng Chaodong that he was thinking in his heart, and the appearance of wanting to speak several times told Peng Chaodong that Peng Yuqian actually wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

Peng Yuqian was stunned for a while, and sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from his father. Peng Yuqian sighed in his heart. Peng Yuqian didn't answer Peng Chaodong's question immediately, and he didn't know whether he should say yes or no, but he kept hesitating. Peng Yuqian's hesitation made Peng Chaodong even more sure that Peng Yuqian had other ideas in his heart.

"Anyway, what else can't you say in front of your father, do you still want to hide something in front of your father?" Peng Chaodong's tone of speech to Peng Yuqian today was obviously much gentler, and he was no longer as tough as before.

Peng Yuqian's heart suddenly felt warm, and then a sour feeling. For so many years, his father had spoken to him as a superior, and his father had always been superior, and his tone was often commanding, and even his father was often addressed by the Governor rather than his father.

How many years has the cold title of the Governor been called, Peng Yuqian's memory has been very vague, it seems to be too long, and Peng Yuqian doesn't remember it very clearly.

There is very little warmth between father and son between Peng Yuqian and Peng Chaodong, and compared with Wanyan Shengcong and Wanyan Haiya's father and son, Peng Chaodong and Peng Yuqian's father and son are actually not very different. It's just that this feeling will be a little less than Wanyan Shengcong and Wanyan Haiya, who are the monarch of a country and the crown prince of a country.

For a while, Peng Yuqian was unfamiliar with the title of father, and after Peng Chaodong claimed to be two fathers, Peng Yuqian was not used to it. It feels awkward to call it that.

This is not a tragedy for a father and son.

Peng Chaodong began to form the Qin army when he was in his twenties, and from then on Peng Chaodong had little time to take care of his family. In Peng Yuqian's memory, his father was always busy. After Peng Yuqian grew up, Peng Chaodong did not continue to let Peng Yuqian take the Jinshi examination after Peng Yuqian passed the examination.

This is a very abnormal phenomenon in this era, in this era when everything is inferior and only reading is high, reading is the best way out for readers. Zhongjin Shi is the greatest dream of all literati in this era.

It is really strange that a father who was born as a jinshi would let his son, who had already passed the examination, give up the imperial examination. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is even impossible to understand Peng Chaodong's approach. There is a huge difference between Jinshi and Ju world, Peng Chaodong, who was born in Jinshi, does not know and will not know, but Peng Chaodong still did it.

Not only Peng Yuqian, but also Peng Chaodong's other sons, after reaching a certain age, Peng Chaodong let his son enter the barracks. Go get used to life in the barracks. At this time, outsiders saw a little sign. It turned out that Peng Chaodong wanted his son to abandon martial arts and follow the text!

Yes, it is Peng Chaodong's idea to let all his sons abandon Wu Congwen. The outside world can't understand Peng Chaodong's approach. But Peng Chaodong has his hardships, and Peng Chaodong has no choice but to do this.

Sometimes Peng Yuqian's brothers would also resent Peng Chaodong, why they didn't let them follow the text, but let them follow the lowly martial arts. It's a feeling that all sons will have. Da Zhao Wengui is martial and cheap, let a literati follow the martial arts, even if it is in a martial land, a literati will have ideas.

It is precisely because of this that there are very few educated generals around Peng Chaodong who can be used, which greatly affects the combat effectiveness of the Qin army. Peng Chaodong finally had to hit his sons with his ideas.

Peng Chaodong had a total of eight sons, all of whom were important generals of the Qin army. Among the eight sons, the most outstanding son is the second son Peng Yuqian.

"Qian'er." Peng Chaodong also spit out Peng Yuqian's nickname very awkwardly, and the last time he called out this nickname is estimated to be almost twenty years ago, Peng Chaodong smiled bitterly in his heart, he has worked hard for the imperial court all these years, and he has gained a lot, and what he has lost must not be less than what he has gained, "Are you wondering, is Daddy's decision to fight a decisive battle with Manshu Liao this time too hasty, will it ruin my Qin army?" ”

Peng Yuqian struck a fierce spirit, as if he had been electrocuted. Peng Yuqian hurriedly shook his head and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, where do your subordinates dare to have such thoughts!" ”

A cold sweat came out of Peng Yuqian's forehead, and under Peng Yuqian's forehead was Peng Yuqian's sincere and frightened expression.

Subordinate, subordinate. What a mockery it is that his own son still claims to be a subordinate in front of him at this time. Peng Chaodong felt a kind of sadness in his heart, this kind of sadness is irreparable sadness, over the years he has continued to strengthen the subordinate relationship between himself and his son, and today Peng Chaodong finally tasted the bitter fruit he sowed.

But can anyone else be blamed for all this? No, no, Peng Chaodong is not qualified to blame others, all this was caused by his own hands, how can he, and what qualifications can he have to blame others.

Peng Chaodong smiled bitterly and said, "There are no subordinates here, and there are no superiors, only father and son. ”

"Father and son......" Peng Yuqian silently recited this familiar and unfamiliar word.

"You haven't been able to hide anything since you were a child, do you want me to tell all the ugly things you did when you were a child?" Peng Chaodong remembered the things that Peng Yuqian did when he was a child, and when he thought of Peng Yuqian's innocence, Peng Chaodong couldn't help laughing, I don't know why this memory came to my heart, it made people feel so warm. This kind of warm feeling has rarely been felt by Peng Chaodong in decades.

In the past few decades, Peng Chaodong has felt more about the joy brought to him by the big victory, the joy of counting the enemy's heads. There is also the feeling of the opposite of this feeling: the chagrin of defeating the battle, the sorrow of the death of his own soldiers. Warmth seems to be a rare feeling.

As soon as Peng Chaodong said this, Peng Yuqian couldn't help but think of the things he did when he was a child. Peng Yuqian is the most naughty and difficult to discipline among Peng Chaodong's six sons. Because of this, Peng Yuqian suffered a lot from his older brother and younger brother when he was a child.

The memories that were gradually dusting suddenly picked up at this time, a little unexpected, and a little surprised and warm.

"Father, that's what the child thinks, his father has been at war with the Liao army for more than a year, and the affairs of the Liaodong Manshu Liao State have not only not been resolved, but have a tendency to worsen more and more. So the child was thinking, the Liao army is not so easy to deal with. Moreover, since my father sat in Liaodong, the casualties of the Qin army have become more and more heavy, and the Qin army's combat attrition this year has been more than half. The combat effectiveness of the Qin army can be said to be worse day by day, and it is not much to have a decisive victory with the Manshu Liao army at this time. And now even if all the Qin troops are assembled, the number of the Qin army is only 1120,000, and the number of the Liao army does not count the rest of the barbarians and the rebels of the Yu family, and the Liao army of the Manshu tribe has about 300,000 soldiers and horses. We also do not have an advantage in terms of troops. Peng Yuqian finally said all the words that were held in his heart very happily, and this father also called it much more natural, "And the town army in Liaodong is unreliable, the Huang family is also unreliable, and the He people may be reliable, but even if the He soldiers and horses are added, compared to the Liao army, we are still at a disadvantage." ”

Peng Chaodong nodded with satisfaction, Peng Yuqian's assertion was reasonable, and his analysis was very reasonable, and he was very pleased that his son who had worked so hard to cultivate could have this insight. This is also his pride.

Peng Chaodong's face involuntarily showed a look of pride.

"That's a good point." Peng Chaodong did not deny Peng Yuqian's statement, what Peng Yuqian said is very reasonable, in fact, Peng Chaodong himself thinks so in his heart.

"If my father knew, why did my father do this." Peng Yuqian was stunned, stunned with a little puzzlement. What his father thought, he couldn't figure it out more and more. Doesn't this make it clear that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains? How could a father do such a stupid thing?

"Qian'er, do you know where the silver money that the emperor rewarded Qin Wangjun this time came from?" Peng Chaodong asked Peng Yuqian.

This mentally retarded problem Peng Yuqian's natural way, Song Yuren's borrowing money from the ministers has been spread to everyone in Jingshi City, Peng Yuqian is in Jingshi City these days, if Peng Yuqian doesn't know, it would be a strange thing.

"Borrowed from the ministers." Peng Yuqian blurted out without thinking.

"Why borrow money from the ministers?" Peng Chaodong continued to ask.

"The emperor has no money to reward." Peng Yuqian still blurted out without thinking. The questions asked by Peng Chaodong were quite simple, and it was not difficult to answer, Peng Yuqian returned without thinking too much, and the speed of answering was quite fast.

"The emperor has no silver, and the emperor has no silver, and the treasury has no silver." Peng Chaodong said, "You have not handled silver, you may not be very clear about this concept, today my father will tell you that the military expenditure in Liaodong a year is about four million taels of silver, how many years has the war in Liaodong lasted, and how much silver has the imperial court invested in Liaodong over the years." ”

Four million silver cars is an astronomical amount for Peng Yuqian, and Peng Yuqian is imagining what kind of number it is, imagining a specific concept. Four million taels a year, it has been decades since the outbreak of the war in Liaodong, which is equivalent to saying that in the past few decades, I have invested tens of millions of taels of silver in Liaodong in order to deal with the Manshu Dazhao. It is no wonder that Song Yuren will have no silver and will be reduced to the point of borrowing silver from the ministers.

No matter how big the family business is, it can't afford such a toss.

And after so much silver was invested in Liaodong, it seemed that it was in vain, and the situation in Liaodong did not improve, but worsened more and more.

"This is only Liaodong, in addition to Liaodong, there is also Shaanxi, and the southeast sea frontier now has another Shanxi. Do you think the emperor is not in a hurry? Peng Chaodong snapped his fingers and counted.

"So Daddy wants to start a decisive battle with the Manshu Liao Army, and decide the winner in a battle?!" Only then did Peng Yuqian understand why Peng Chaodong did this, there is a way to live, who would choose to take the road of death?

"But Daddy's current strategy for Liaodong is to hold the Liaoxi Corridor for a long time to prevent the further expansion of Manshu Liaoguo, isn't Daddy's current strategy contrary to the original strategy?" Peng Yuqian breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"Strategy is dead, man is alive." Peng Chaodong sighed, "This strategy is the most stable and the practice that Daddy admires the most, but there is a premise to implement this strategy, and this premise is that there needs to be enough military spending to position this line of defense." What Da Zhao lacks now is precisely military spending, and it is because of the problem of military spending. ”

"I don't want my great Zhao to be in the Heavenly Empire, and I will be embarrassed to such a point today." Peng Yuqian sighed.

"The reason why my father chose this is because now is the best time for the decisive battle of the Manshu Liao army, and the chances of victory will be higher than usual. Anyway, the decisive battle is a matter of time, and this day will come sooner or later, so it's better to fight first! Peng Chaodong said.

"Father......" Peng Yuqian wanted to speak but stopped.

"Go on, there's nothing we can't say between father and son." Peng Chaodong waved his hand as he walked, motioning for Peng Yuqian to continue.

Peng Yuqian nodded, sorted out his somewhat confused thoughts, and said: "Father said that now is the best opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army, the child thinks that it must be that the old chieftain Wan Yan Shengcong is dead, Wan Yan Ying rebelled, Manshu Liao is unstable internally, and there is no strong cohesion as before, so he can fight with Manshu Liao State, what does my father think the child said?" ”

Peng Chaodong thought about it, felt that there was nothing wrong, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Then the boy will say some of the child's humble opinions." Peng Chaodong's attitude is rarely so kind, today Peng Chaodong's attitude towards Peng Yuqian can be described as unexpectedly kind, Peng Yuqian is now speaking a lot more confidently in front of Peng Chaodong, "The child thinks that the old chief Wanyan Shengcong is not a general, and the little chief Wanyan Haiya is not a simple person, this person seems to be particularly tricky, Wanyan Haiya is very likely to be able to take Manshu Liaoguo through this crisis." ”

Peng Chaodong did not object to Peng Yuqian's view, on the contrary, Peng Chaodong also thought that Peng Yuqian's analysis was very reasonable. Is it just that he Peng Chaodong has a choice? So far, Peng Chaodong has no choice but to choose a decisive battle with the Manshu Liao army, he has no way to retreat, there is a dead end behind him, only to go forward may be able to have a way, but this is only maybe.

"The Manshu people have been producing a lot of talents recently, and the Manshu people are full of talents, which is really a big hidden danger to my Dazhao. It's a pity that my Da Zhao can't have one heart up and down, can't be twisted into a rope, if I Da Zhao up and down and work together, where will the Manshu people have today? I'm afraid that even if the Manshu people are talented, no matter how strong the soldiers and horses are, they can't cross the border wall of Liaodong, let alone occupy the hinterland of Liaodong. "What Peng Chaodong said about not being able to work together is of course a point, and this refers to the endless party struggle in Dazhao.

From another point of view, Liaodong is not all defeated by the Manshu people, and to some extent, it was given to the Manshu people by Da Zhao himself. It is also a coincidence that the Manshu people entered Liaodong, and it is also inevitable. Speaking of the loss of the hinterland of Liaodong, the Qin Party is responsible for a lot of responsibility, the fuse of the loss of the hinterland of Liaodong is Gao Guang's defeat, and Gao Guang's original defeat could have been avoided, only if he could not hold on, he would not have been defeated even if he did not fight a field battle with the Manshu Liao army, and he would have lost so much that he lost the entire essence of Liaodong in the hinterland of Liaodong.

And Gao Guang's defeat was not forced by Xu Hongqian. In the past, Xu Hongqian forced Gao Guang, and today Lu Zongcheng forced him Peng Chaodong to repay the eleventh report, feng shui takes turns, and today it finally turned to Peng Chaodong's head, how is this not a kind of retribution?

Xu Hongqian always thought that he could control the situation in Liaodong, but in fact Xu Hongqian was wrong, not only wrong, but very wrong. Xu Hongqian's mistake is almost unforgivable, and Xu Hongqian's practice is likely to bury the Great Zhao Empire.

The Manshu people are not docile puppies that can be tamed, the Manshu are a group of fierce and untamable wolves. It's impossible to control this wild wolf! Wolves can be killed, but they must not be controlled! If you try to control the wolf, you will probably end up being bitten to death! There is not even scum left in the bite!

"Wan Yan Ying has always been dissatisfied with Wan Yan Shengcong, maybe we can start from Wan Yan Ying and try to recruit Wan Yan Ying, if Wan Yan Ying can be used by me, our chances of winning will be greatly increased!" Peng Yu said, this practice is the usual practice of the Liao army, now why not use the way of others to govern their bodies, use this trick on the Manshu people themselves, and let the Manshu people taste this taste!

"You can give it a try." Peng Chaodong said lightly, "But it's best not to have too much hope, Manshu people are very proud in their bones, and this Wan Yan Ying is the same, Wan Yan Ying may choose to rebel because he is dissatisfied with Wan Yan Shengcong, and rebel against Wan Yan Haiya, but if you want him to be a tiger and betray the Manshu clan, there is little hope of surviving in Da Zhao." ”

With Peng Chaodong's understanding of the Manshu people, it is not very likely that Wan Yanying will defect to Da Zhao. Maybe Wan Yanying killed herself and lived a more dignified home than taking refuge in Da Zhao Gou. (To be continued.) )
