Chapter 389: Agancheng (4)
There have been several pro-Chinese in the Han Dynasty, and several true and false princesses are very powerful, whether in the Xiongnu or in Qiuzi, they have made efforts for national peace. The Sui Dynasty also had it, and it was equally powerful. In the Tang Dynasty, it was flooded.
Not only did she post it upside down, but the princess also let Hu Ren kill a few.
But half of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty was of Hu blood and was not ashamed. The Tang Dynasty's strong military capabilities were condescending, and there was no shame in intermarriage.
Although the Zhao Kuangyin brothers were born in commoners, they attached great importance to cultural etiquette and Han standard thinking. Zheng Lang saw that some officials looked down on the Qiang people on the edge of the edge, which was also a factor in this kind of Han-based thinking.
There may be people in the DPRK who will not consider it a shame for the sake of peace, but how can Fu Bi endure it?
Liu Liufu saw the anger in Fu Bi's eyes, and talked to the emperor when he came, trying to extort benefits as much as possible, but focusing on peace. It shows that the emperor also didn't want to go to war, and was afraid that the talks would collapse, so he hurriedly changed his words and said, yes, from there. If you don't obey, you will be stuffed with one thing. The king preserves the people, and the old good cannot be lost.
If you don't agree, forget it, our two countries will reconcile, and we will continue to talk about business.
Fu Bi saw the Khitan's face clearly, and really came to blackmail. What kind of relationship, Zhao Zhen's only daughter is very beautiful, oh my God, how old is she, four years old! Last year, I peed my pants on Zheng Lang and kissed a fart. Besides, your little prince is not very old, what kind of marriage!
The Khitan proposed this article purely to disgust the Song Dynasty.
The palace test released the list, so that the Khitan people made such a fuss, and the monarchs and ministers had no thoughts.
But as soon as the list came out, some people made an uproar.
In history, Wang Anshi was selected for the title of champion because of his article. After following Zheng Lang for many years, some radical ideas have become a little calmer, and he is still the champion! The second place is Sichuan Juzi Wang Gui, the third place is Han Jiang, and the fourth place is Yang Ning.
But new problems are coming up again.
Wang Anshi is a student of Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang is now concurrently serving as the deputy prime minister, and his official position has not reached the peak, but his political achievements have reached the peak, and he has made miraculous achievements in both civil and military affairs. According to the ancestral family law of the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi, as a student of Zheng Lang, also needs to avoid suspicion.
There are more weird things, such as Han Jiang, who was Zheng Lang's subordinate in Hangzhou, Yang Ning is Yang Cha's younger brother, and Yang Cha has also been Zheng Lang's important subordinate. plus an eighty-seven-year-old student, Yan Rong. Aside from Yan Rong, among the top four, three of them have a relationship with Zheng Lang.
The minister looked at this list, first lost his mind, and then admonished one after another, this situation cannot happen.
Zhao Zhen also laughed, not intentionally, this is the ranking of real talent. Then after discussing, Yang Ning connected two yuan, made up an auspicious one, and Suo surnamed the champion point, becoming another big three yuan in the Song Dynasty. Wang Gui has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, from the third to the second. Then choose the third, according to reason, Wang Gui and Han Jiang already have official positions, and they should avoid suspicion, Han Jiang Laozi is Han Yi, and Wang Anshi's teacher is Zheng Lang, weigh the weight, and the third should be rewarded to Wang Anshi.
But many ministers have asked Tanhua to return Han Jiang, anyway, they are all to avoid suspicion, so let's fight for Dad. Zheng Lang has a bright future, but the Han family is stronger, Han Yi has a wider network, Han Jiang is Han Yi's biological son, and Wang Anshi is only Zheng Lang's student.
Everyone was a little negligent, and Han Jiang may not have fought Wang Anshi.
There was only one Zheng Lang standing behind Wang Anshi, but there was also a person standing behind Zheng Lang, Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen was a little displeased, and said: "Wang Anshi was originally the champion, and then he will chase the top three, and he will pass." ”
There was silence.
The emperor spoke, and no matter how wordy he was, he deliberately targeted Zheng Lang.
Zheng Lang is harmless to people and animals, and he is not a good old man who can't fight back and scold back, take a look at Yang Kai's fate now. played in Cangzhou, Zhao Zhen didn't look at it, and filed it directly.
The list was issued, and many people were dumbfounded.
Zheng Lang had six students, and four students participated in the imperial examination, all of which passed the surname once. There are two more people, these two are Fan Zhongyan's sons, the teacher is Zheng Lang, and Lao Tzu is Fan Zhongyan, if you want to pass the imperial examination, can it be difficult? What kind of hit rate is this.
Not only that, Zheng Lang taught not only knowledge, but also the ability to be a person and a ruler. For the same ranking, if you don't enter the officialdom, as soon as you enter the officialdom, these officials will immediately have a different starting point.
Many people beat their chests, Zheng Lang was just a teenager at the beginning, and he really forced his son to be a student, can he not accept it?
Think about it, even if Han Yi's eighth son has extraordinary qualifications, he doesn't dare to say that he is a middle jinshi, so he has to beg Zhao Zhen to open the back door, which makes the world protest.
Not now, Zheng Lang is in a high position and very busy, he doesn't dare to force him to accept students, and he won't accept students, and his own students are not available to teach, how can he accept new students?
Regarding the discussion of the outside world, Zhao Zhen snickered and worked harder to make a child. If you can teach excellent students, you can teach a good prince.
The good mood was gone, Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu arrived in the capital.
The two inquired all the way and asked about the First World War in the Northwest, and Fu Bi let it go and let them inquire.
After thinking about it, our Song Dynasty is not without people to start a war, there are handsome and talented, and even 900 people can kill more than 10,000 Western Xia cavalry and flee. You Khitans have to think about it.
After asking and asking, he finally attracted the attention of the two messengers alone, Zheng Lang.
The more the two envoys listened, the more frightened they became, obediently Dongdong, this person was simply the prime minister Guan Zhongna, who achieved the hegemony of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, with knowledge, the art of accumulating wealth, the art of governing the country, the military ability is also very strong, and Wen Taowu is proficient in everything. No, this is an enlarged version of Guan Zhong, not a copy of Guan Zhong.
Fu Bi doesn't care, we have capable people in the Song Dynasty, and you Khitan don't dare to attack our Song Dynasty, so let them listen to it, and show them the book written by Zheng Lang.
But when I entered the capital, I saw some ministers with soft faces, and the two envoys regained their self-confidence, and the scoundrel played out again, what is the use of you Song Dynasty digging that trench at the border all the time? We can jump over it by throwing some straw and reeds, and if we can't, 100,000 cavalry will dig a trench and fill it up with a bag of earth.
After saying that, he left.
The monarch and the minister gasped in the hall, Zhao Zhen didn't quite understand, and asked the minister, could it be that the project that our Song Dynasty spent decades repairing was really a tofu scum project? How do you throw a little straw reed and it dissolves?
The effect is not that big, but there is definitely a little.
Just like the garrison in Hebei, although it doesn't work, but it is precisely because of the garrison that the Khitan is mainly based on peace, if there is no garrison, the Khitan people will be another idea.
There were still people in the Song Dynasty.
Wang Gongchen relied on his memory to finally recall the various reasons in the past. Wang Gongchen said: "When our dynasty started a war with the Later Han Dynasty, the Khitans sent envoys to the camp to give gifts, indicating neutrality, and on the other hand, they sent reinforcements to support the Later Han, so the Battle of Shilingguan occurred. Taizong was angry at his capriciousness, so he sent troops. If there is a mistake, it is also the Khitan people who are at fault first, how can it be said that I sent troops to attack the nameless? ”
Whether this reason is far-fetched or not, it is always a reason. Zhao Zhen was overjoyed.
But there were ministers who discussed filling the trenches to appease the anger of the Khitan.
Wang Gongchen said: "This is Liu Liufu's boast, set up a risk to defend the country, the first king will not be abolished, it is the ancestor to limit the way to ride, if as Liufu said, Kou invaded and retained, wouldn't it be better?" ”
With such a big loophole, why should we be reminded? Wouldn't it be better to stay and use it when the real invasion comes?
Ignore them.
When it came to the matter of harmony, Zhao Zhen couldn't bear it, and asked Jia Changchao to ask Liu Liufu, Liao's younger brother Yelu Chongyuan, who had coerced his mother's power and asked the Song Dynasty for fornication with the Song Dynasty, if the Song Dynasty could agree.
Liu Liufu said: "This is good for the Queen Mother, and it is inconvenient for our country." ”
Inconvenience is disadvantage, to put it mildly. If it is agreed, it will encourage Yelu Chongyuan's ambitions, and the Liaoxingzong brothers will lose harmony, which will inevitably be detrimental to the Khitan.
Jia Changchao asked: "In this case, if you Khitan sustain peace with King Liang, will our Majesty be at ease?" ”
Liu Liufu couldn't answer.
In this peace negotiation, there are three people who are very eye-catching, Fu Bi, Jia Changchao and Wang Gongchen, these three people will sing a big drama below.
Now there is nothing else, and he is still conscientiously fighting wits and tactics for the Song Dynasty and the Khitan envoys.
The monarch and the minister let out the words, it is impossible to cut the land, and the relatives can discuss a little, the princess is too young, Zhao Zhen only has this one child, but you can make an exception and choose a woman and relatives in the clan.
That's it, Fu Bi also jumped up in the court, and almost turned the top of the court hall into the sky.
Either take a step back and float a little more on the 300,000-year-old coins and add some year-old coins. Either choose a clan woman, or add a little coin, choose one of the two, and the others will not be able to agree.
Liu Liufu was satisfied, it was you who took the initiative to ask for an increase, as for how much to increase, we talked slowly, and suddenly the conversation changed and said: "Okay, you must send Zheng Lang to make us Khitan." There are two reasons, my majesty has admired Zheng Lang's calligraphy for a long time, Zheng Lang is very friendly to our dynasty, and only when he goes to negotiate can he represent the sincerity of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
The Manchu monarchs and ministers were dripping in cold sweat.
This trick is ruthless, as soon as Zheng Lang goes to Khitan, with Zheng Lang's talent, can he come back? Accumulation of wealth, military ability, and ability to govern are also worthy of the Khitan to be shameless again.
Let Zhao Zhen choose, he would rather marry his daughter to the Khitan than let Zheng Lang go to the Khitan and be detained!
Liu Liufu said lightly again: "If you don't agree, you can only go to war!" ”
Fu Bi was so angry that he almost went up to slap him.
……
After Zheng Lang finished discussing, he brought Wang Ji and Zhang Qi to the blind felt, pointed at Zhang Qi and said, "This is General Zhang Qi, the new Zhijun of the Deshun Army." ”
Blind felt said: "I have admired the name for a long time. ”
In fact, he didn't know Zhang Qi at all, but he felt very vicious when he saw the scar on his face and forehead. How could the Tibetans be afraid of the vicious-looking people, and there should not be too many wicked people in their tribe?
Zheng Lang said: "General Zhang led 900 infantry with General Zeng and Wang Kai of Linzhou on Fulin Road and defeated 10,000 cavalry. ”
"Awesome." Blind and skeptical.
"And with General Wang Ji, General Wang Kai led five or six thousand soldiers to carry grain, defeated 30,000 cavalry of Hao thieves, and killed nearly 10,000 people."
Blind felt opened his mouth wide.
"Fu and Zhang Kang's army led more than 3,000 soldiers to die in the second battle of Tumaochuan, and then defeated more than 30,000 Hao thieves and killed thousands of people, and this battle was led by Hao thieves himself."
Even the teenage Mu Zheng opened his mouth wide and couldn't make a sound.
"This is General Wang Ji, Linzhou was besieged, he was alone, rushed out of the camp of the 100,000 army of Hao thieves, asked for help from Taiyuan, and General Zhang and General Wang Tumaochuan won a great victory, the first to rush out, and broke the Hao thief Iron Harrier. This is the report that records their exploits, you can take a look. ”
Blind felt didn't believe it, took the newspaper, looked at it and bent over and said: "I've seen General Zhang, I've seen General Wang, and the two generals are gods." ”
Di Bao may exaggerate, ** not far from ten, at least most of them are true. But this record is incredible.
"You also know that I have a team of northern Tibetan men in my hands, although there are not many, but they are all fierce soldiers."
"Know," the blind felt nodded, close, he had heard of this group of Jurchen military horses.
"Zhang Zhijun and General Wang will lead this army, and I will send two thousand of the strongest soldiers to sneak into the Niche Valley with you, and lurk in the Niche Valley Valley, you have to do one thing, you can't let the thieves know that they have entered your realm."
"Don't worry," said the blind felt.
These two fierce men can defeat the 30,000 Western Xia army with five or six thousand grain soldiers, and they have more than 2,000 of the strongest soldiers in their hands, as well as their own army to cooperate, what is the 10,000 army of Yishi Jilu?
"The Western Xia scouts are very powerful." Zheng Lang admonished again.
It's not at ease with the blind felt, this person is a small grass, the wind blows on both sides, once the Xixia people know the whereabouts of their army, Yuan Hao will use a counter-plan, and the inside will be attacked, Zhang Qi and Wang Ji will be in danger. He also said: "I may also mobilize 10,000 Qiang soldiers to support you at any time." ”
"Thank you," Blind felt knelt down again, this time really moved.
"As I said, we are both people of the Song Dynasty, so I don't need to thank you. But have you ever thought that this battle was guessed by me, if you didn't guess it, your troops are weak, the enemy does not build a walled city, and directly leads the army to attack your Shrine Valley Fort, and some people in your clan may be bought by Hao thieves, how do you deal with it? ”
Blind and dazed could not answer.
"So this time I won't play the Jingyuan Road flag, and all the troops dispatched will borrow your flag. Let the thief think that you are powerful, and he will not dare to invade your ministry next time. Or you must send a large army to attack, once the army comes, it will inevitably be discovered by you and my scouts, you can calmly mobilize troops, two sides of the attack, and defeat the Hao thief army. ”
"Zheng Gong, Xie ......"
"I don't want to hear Xie anymore."
The blind felt was so moved that he almost shed tears.
Zheng Lang's intention is not here, once Yi Shijilu is defeated, Yuan Hao must know that he will help. But he must be made to think that the main army has been left blind, and then this beam will be concluded. At least for five or six years, because of this feud, Blind Felt will not be half-hearted again.
Zhang Wang and the others took the men and horses and left quietly.
Zheng Lang was still not at ease, and agreed to contact each other with scouts in case of accidents. Fortunately, now Jingyuan Road is different from last year, a large number of war horses have been obtained, the number of cavalry has increased, and it is only 300 miles from the Deshun army to Gonggu City, which can be quickly rescued.
The time is a little short, some soldiers are still not skilled in horsemanship, and after a year, the number of cavalry on the entire Jingyuan Road, including the Fan soldiers, will increase to 25,000!
The 25,000 well-trained cavalry with full combat effectiveness, if properly commanded, can at least compete with the more than 50,000 Yuan Hao cavalry in the field. This is the biggest capital after Jingyuan Road.
He also summoned the chiefs of the tribes in the neighboring prefectures, whether they were loyal to the Song Dynasty or to the blind felt, as long as they were not loyal to Yuan Hao. But at this point, the tribes were either dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty or had their hearts set on blind felt, and there were very few tribes who were truly loyal to Yuan Hao.
And in the battle of Shimenchuan, the soldiers also made a lot of contributions, among which the sons of five chiefs, including the Su tribe, the Dawang family, and the Yan tribe, were actually appointed as commanders by the imperial court because of their merits.
Zheng Lang said his intentions, and mobilized them to send soldiers and tribal warriors to help.
It's not that I don't use Han soldiers, it's because I'm blind.
The original plan did not intend to use all the Tibetan soldiers, because the leading Yi Shi Jilu and his soldiers were mostly Tubo soldiers, although the appearance was very similar, once there were too many Han soldiers mixed in, they would inevitably be discovered by Yi Shi Jilu's subordinates. As long as he knows that it is his own main force, Yuan Hao will not have much hatred for Blind Felt, and Liang Zi will not be able to get married.
Plans had to change.
Then look at these tribes, afraid that their hearts are unbalanced. After all, he is not Cao Wei, he has been operating here for many years, and he has a high prestige, which drives these Tibetan people like fingers.
But as soon as the words were spoken, the chiefs of the Guo Si Dun clan, the Chen Kejie clan and other tribes stood up together and agreed.
Only a few chiefs hesitated and chimed in.
The chiefs dispersed, and Zheng Lang and the old breed all looked at each other and shook their heads. I can be said to be very good at these fans, but as soon as they heard that something happened to the blind felt, they immediately helped each other, indicating that their inner thoughts were still biased towards the blind felt, if it were not forced by the living environment, they would never surrender to the Song Dynasty. Of course, the current situation is what they are looking forward to the most, and they will not be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma with the Song Dynasty.
Within a few days, the various clans had raised more than 15,000 soldiers, which was incredibly fast, and Zheng Lang began to wait.
He also heard it from the two students in high school, Zheng Lang of Wang Anshi High School was not happy, this should be done, but Yan Rong was the first, which made Zheng Lang feel a sense of accomplishment.
I didn't expect to receive another decree from the imperial court.
Hearing Liu Liufu's difficult request, Fu Bi suddenly realized, no wonder these two boys finally asked for the surname not to ask about the situation in the northwest, but specifically asked Zheng Lang's deeds, and dared to fight this idea, and said angrily: "Your envoy, you are the envoys of the Khitan, and it is the right of your Khitan emperor to send what envoys the Khitan sends, and it is also the right of our Song Dynasty to send envoys to the Khitan." Do you Khitans want to be our suzerain? ”
Make no mistake!
Liu Liufu said hesitantly: "This is what our Majesty has repeatedly instructed us, and it is okay if your country does not agree." ”
Then get ready to fight.
Then Lai Zaijing did not leave.
The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were so angry that they gritted their teeth, and many people were also afraid that the initiative was not in the hands of the Song Dynasty, but in the hands of the Khitans. However, after a long time, there was a misunderstanding, when the truth was false, it was true, and when it was false, it was true and false, and the Khitan changed their minds for a long time, and the war really started, and the Song Dynasty was more auspicious and less auspicious.
After discussing for a long time, use the fast horse to inform Zheng Lang, do you have a good way?
Zheng Lang was stunned, why did you get me involved when you talked about you?
