Chapter 408: Autumn Sickness

Li Beiyang put away his smile and said seriously: "No, no." Lord Yin, only under the leadership of His Majesty can our dynasty achieve Zhongxing. More than 100 years ago, our dynasty was not without famous generals who competed with the Jin people, but they were still defeated by the Jin people who were weaker than Mongolia, and there were many reasons for this, and it was inconvenient for Li to comment. Now Your Majesty is the god of heaven descended to earth, can see the heavens, you and I under the command of Your Majesty to listen to the order, will be able to make meritorious contributions, when the time comes, everyone is the minister of Zhongxing, this I am fortunate also. ”

Yin Yinglei nodded slightly, and agreed: "It's still Lord Li's knowledge." ”

"The minister of Zhongxing, Master Li said it well, when Your Majesty rules the world, Your Majesty will be the emperor of the Zhongxing Great Song Dynasty, and the Taishi will be the Taishi of the Zhongxing Great Song Dynasty, and we will all be famous generals of Zhongxing." Lu Xiufu smiled, but then sighed: "It's just that if you want to gain insight into the heavens, it is none other than Your Majesty, but it is difficult for us to wait." ”

"The Taishi of the Great Song Dynasty?" Jia Rudao said secretly in his heart.

I smiled and said, "It is naturally difficult to gain insight into the heavens, but as long as we continue to summarize the lessons and lessons of our predecessors, we can learn from them." In that year, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goguryeo, all of which failed, Tang Taizong learned the lesson of the failure of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and conquered Goguryeo twice, but it was still because of the labor expedition, the logistics supply line was too long, and the complete work was not completed, even so, but it could not be said that it was a failure, this was already a big step forward, and when it came to Tang Gaozong, he took the method of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, marching into the army during spring ploughing, harassing and retreating, and setting fire to it during the autumn harvest, so that only three years later, Goguryeo's national strength declined, and then, the Tang army marched in a big way, conquering Goguryeo in one fell swoop. With Tang Gaozong's ability, it is naturally far inferior to Tang Taizong, but because he can learn from the past lessons and constantly sum up experience, and this experience is the premise of insight into the heavenly machine, so as to be able to succeed. Yin Aiqing, Li Aiqing, you need to summarize the battle of Goguryeo in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but you can't copy it, after all, the situation is different. ”

"Yes, the ministers are taught."

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the Military Affairs Yuan can only give you the framework of goals, tasks, strategies and tactics, but the specific plan will have to be formulated by yourself after you land on the peninsula. Goryeo and I face each other across the sea, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient, and you will have to fight alone from the time you go to the sea, so you need to deal with the Eastern Crusade according to local conditions and time conditions. Ladies and gentlemen, I will not say any more, and if there are no problems, this is the end of this meeting. ”

Yin Yinglei hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has one last question. ”

"Say it."

"Your Majesty, our military discipline is strict, and it is expressly forbidden for the army to harass ordinary people, if we land on the Goryeo Peninsula, will the military discipline of our army still apply?"

"Military discipline and military regulations are like the laws of our dynasty, applicable to the entire territory of our dynasty, but not to a place like Goryeo that is about to be included in the territory planning of our dynasty and has not yet been conquered, Yin Aiqing, for the military and civilians of Goryeo, first of all, persuasion is the foundation, especially for the local people, do not leave them with the same brutal impression as our army and the Mongols, of course, for those who resolutely oppose our dynasty, no matter what their status, you can deal with it yourself, but you must leave no traces, didn't I ask you to bring fifty imperial guards? When the time is right, you can let them do things in private, you know. ”

Yin Yinglei smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, the minister understands, and the minister obeys the order." ”

When Yang Lian Zhenjia arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jia Rudao was half-lying on a chair in the study, his eyes slightly closed, and he was thinking about Lu Xiufu's words during the day meeting, "The master of Zhongxing, the famous general of Zhongxing." "Sounds pretty good.

"Xiangye, Xiangye."

Jia Xuan shouted twice in a row, and Jia Rudao slowly opened his eyes: "Jia Xuan, what's the matter?" ”

"Xiangye, Master Lian Zhen has arrived."

"Lian Zhen? I haven't seen him in a while, so call him in. ”

After a while, Jia Xuan took Yang Lian Zhenjia to Jia Yidao's study.

"The poor monk Lian has really seen the Taishi."

"Master Lian Zhen, it's been a long time."

"Yes, Master, the poor monk likes the snow scene in the north, so he will go north every winter to enjoy the extreme cold."

"Chill?" Jia Rudao shook his head and said, "Lian Zhen, is the northern snow scene so attractive?" ”

"The Taishi doesn't know that the poor monk has been a monk in the north since he was a child, so he has a sense of attachment." Lian Zhen smiled, "Master, you look good." ”

"Let go of what is in your heart, and see Nanshan leisurely." Jia Rudao also smiled and said, "Jia Xuan, you go and prepare some wine and food, and the old man and the master have a few drinks." ”

"Yes, Xiangye."

"By the way, Jia Xuan, let's take the Chinese imperial liquid."

"Yes."

After Jia Xuan left, Yang Lian Zhenjia praised: "Haha, the poor monk in the realm of the Taishi admires. ”

"Lian Zhen, it's thanks to you."

Yang Lian Zhenjia secretly smiled bitterly and said, "Taishi, then again, with the talent of Taishi, can this heart really be completely let go?" ”

"What if you can't let it go, didn't the master say back then that the upper position is booming, and you should avoid it?"

"Taishi, the world is changeable, as the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, otherwise Ji Tailai, who knows the fortune of this year?"

"This year? War may break out this year, and the old man is old and doesn't want to participate anymore. ”

Yang Lian Zhenjia asked knowingly: "War, what war?" ”

"People outside the master Fang don't know that Song and Mongolia have stopped for several years, and it is likely that a large-scale war will break out again this year."

Yang Lian Zhenjia thought for a moment and said: "Lord Taishi, together with the war, the emperor will reuse a capable minister like Taishi, and then the Taishi will be able to show his skills?" ”

Jia Rudao saw the wine and food on the table, and said: "Let's talk while eating, Lian Zhen, this Chinese imperial liquid is good." ”

"Well, Taishi, since the last time the poor monk drank it with you, I feel that other liquors can't be called wine."

"Haha, the master is exaggerating."

Yang Lian Zhenjia said: "Master, the poor monk will give you a cup first." ”

The Chinese Imperial Liquid is full of strength, and after three cups, Jia Rudao's face has a little flush: "Master Lian Zhen, the old man is slowly getting used to this carefree life, if the war really breaks out, the old man is not willing to do the drudgery, and would rather enjoy the blessings at home, isn't it good?" ”

Yang Lian Zhenjia looked at Jia Yidao, drank a cup suddenly, and said: "Taishi, it would be good if I could enjoy Qingfu all the time, but I am afraid that ......"

Jia Yidao frowned slightly and said, "Master, why does the old man think that you are a little strange today?" Just say it bluntly. ”

Yang Lian Zhenjia sighed and said: "Taishi, when the poor monk first came in, he looked at the appearance of the Taishi, on the surface, the Taishi's face was as usual, but later, the poor monk took a closer look, but found that something was wrong, compared with before, there was a trace of hidden danger on the Taishi's face. ”

"What's the hidden danger?"

"Taishi, the poor monk and the Taishi have known each other for a year or two, with all due respect to the poor monk, this hidden danger is called autumn disease in physiognomy, which is not a good sign." Yang Lian Zhenjia explained, "The so-called autumn disease originally meant that it was easy to get in autumn, but it had other meanings in physiognomy. Taishi, since ancient times, the criminal law has a saying that the autumn queen asks for beheading, which means that after the case is decided, the execution of the prisoner will not be executed until the autumn, so the autumn disease mentioned in physiognomy refers to the meaning of being liquidated afterwards. ”

"After-the-fact liquidation?" Jia Rudao said in his heart, "Master, tell me in detail." ”

Yang Lian Zhenjia said softly: "Master Taishi, there are clouds in physiognomy, the situation is constant, it is one, half of yin and yang, it is two, and the sum of one and one is two, which is called balance." When the balance is lost, there will be a strong and weak, weak and strong, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, and the strong side reaches a certain point, it will swallow the weak, so that outside the balance, the strong and weak are difficult to coexist. If you look at it in combination with the actual situation of the Taishi, that is, when the upper position is too strong, it will swallow up the strong in the lower position, in other words, when the upper position completely controls the situation, it will purge the other forces that do not belong to the upper power, and the strong in the other forces will be purged by the upper position first. ”

Jia Rudao said in disbelief: "Will it?" ”

"Taishi, it's just that there is this possibility, of course, today's high-level poor monks can't know about it, maybe Taishi knows it, right?"

Jia Rudao muttered, "This is not enough, right? ”

"The poor monk only explains according to the meaning of physiognomy, and cannot be completely sure, physiognomy is often in the middle of ambiguity, and it is difficult to say and difficult to say. The change of fortune and the meaning of heaven are beyond the reach of ordinary people such as us. ”

Jia Rudao suddenly remembered that at today's military meeting, Lu Xiufu said, what insight into heaven belongs to His Majesty, this Zhao Yu really has this ability? Judging from the character that Zhao Yu has shown in the past two years, he will not be soft on his enemies at all, but is he still his enemy?

In the past two years, with the strong rise of imperial power, Jia Yidao's real power has become smaller and smaller, but on the surface, he is still the head of a hundred officials. However, Jia Yidao himself couldn't figure out whether he was constantly backing down or lurking.

According to Yang Lian Zhenjia's original statement, Jia Rudao should first avoid the prosperity of the upper position, secretly accumulate strength, and then counterattack when his potential is exhausted. However, Jia Yidao slowly felt that the life of semi-retirement was quite comfortable, and over time, the heart of counterattack gradually disappeared.

A person who can endure for more than ten years is indeed very terrifying, what Lian Zhen said is not impossible, thinking about it, Jia Rudao couldn't help but shudder, and after drinking a glass of wine alone, he calmed down a little, and continued: "Master Lian Zhen, is there a way to crack it?" ”
