Chapter Ninety-Seven: Hatred
Laying out the facts and reasoning, Zhao Ta took the trouble to explain to several subordinates how to establish and consolidate the base area and obtain a foothold. This is not just a question of retaining the people, it is also a question of determining whether they can stay behind enemy lines, and its complexity and importance are not comparable to a big battle, but a big question that determines their life and death.
An army without a base is a rogue that will be wiped out sooner or later. With a solid base area, the KrΓΌd army that goes deep behind enemy lines can obtain supplies and replenishment of soldiers, solve the thorny problems of treating the wounded, and rest and training the troops. Cuba's guerrilla master cut? The main reason why Guevara was captured after the failure of the revolution in Bolivia and finally lost his life was that he could not establish a solid base behind enemy lines, he could only hide in the jungle, unable to get supplies, cut off from news, and without foreign aid, and finally trapped to death!
"Boss, now there are not only Han people, Khitan people, Dangxiang people, but also Bohai people and Xi people in Texas, these people have different minds and fight with each other, which is a threat to the stability of our rear, how to eliminate the prejudice between them and stand with us now?" Qiao Kun asked again.
"Hatred!" Zhao Ta thought for a while and said, "In the early days of the war, the Jurchens did not have more than a thousand soldiers, but they were able to defeat the powerful Liao army with fewer victories and more victories, what did they rely on? That is hatred, the unforgettable hatred of being oppressed and oppressed by the Liao State for generations. Hatred can be a coward picking up a knife, making a scholar put down the pen in his hand, and letting a woman go to battle. β
Although this is biased, it is not unreasonable, in fact, Zhao Ta also understands it very well in his heart. Cultural identity and religious belief are the best glues that bind you, but that is not possible in the current situation. Only the bitter hatred of the Jurchens can make people temporarily put aside their ethnic differences, traditional customs, and prejudices against each other, and bring them together.
"Hmm!" Qiao Kun nodded. Although he had some opinions on the prince's drastic approach, this was indeed the only choice at present, "Boss, now that our Texas is far away from the Great Song Dynasty and hangs alone, and the Jin army has invaded Xijing on a large scale, should we also form an alliance with other forces to fight against the Jurchens?" β
"Yes, if you have more friends, is it easy to walk!" Zhao Ta was vague in his mouth, and he cursed in his heart. A few rabbit cubs said that they were inviting me, but the fucking Lao Tzu still drank two glasses of wine, and didn't eat two pieces of meat, just to be a teacher for them, wouldn't they suffer, reached out and grabbed a leg of mutton and planned to occupy it first, Zhang Pu, who had just reached out to grab it, had to shrink back under the angry eyes of the prince!
"Boss, but the envoy sent by Xijing has been sitting on the cold bench for a few days, and he is still asked to sit down?" Zhao Yong saw that the prince's hands were not idle. The chopsticks in his right hand were clamped, and his left hand was clearly snatched, and as he spoke, he quickly scooped up a piece of venison and put it in the bowl. Seeing this, others also acted quickly. Only Qiao Kun didn't know what to do, and when he reacted, there was only a roast yellow squirrel left on the table, and no one cared about it...
"What did you just say!" Zhao Ta had half a leg of mutton at the bottom of his belly, so he raised his head and touched his mouth and asked.
"Boss. The envoy of Xijing has let us dry for several days, waiting for our reply! Zhao Yong could only repeat the Tao again.
"What conditions does he have?" Zhao Ta looked at Qiao Kun eating the yellow squirrel with relish and asked.
"Hmm. There are three main ones, one is to pardon the treason of Jerod Yuchen; the second is to order Yelu Yu to lead the Texas army to Xijing to resist the Jin army; The third is that all Texas Army officers and officers are promoted by one level! Zhao Yong said.
"It's gone!" Zhao Ta asked, his eyes still staring at Qiao Kun.
"It's gone!" Zhao Yong also looked at Qiao Kun strangely. pondering what the prince wanted to do.
"Governor Qiao, is this thing delicious?" Zhao Ta glanced at Zhao Yong without saying a word, turned his face and swallowed his saliva and asked Qiao Kun with a pleasant face.
"Boss, it's delicious!" Qiao Kun looked at the prince's pig brother with some confusion and replied, "This yellow rat is fed with goat's milk, the meat is extremely fat, and it tastes like a little piglet, but it is more crisp than the little piglet, and the treasure of paying tribute to my dynasty includes this thing!" β
"Really? Lie to me, eating pork in this place is like the New Year, if this rat meat can be used as a tribute, they will be like that! Zhao Ta pouted and said.
"Boss, Xijing stayed..."
"Send him away tomorrow, a small left-behind is still such a big shelf, pardon this, summon that, is his level enough? Think of yourself as a green onion! Zhao Ta said impatiently, as if the yellow squirrel on the plate at this time was more important than Na Xijing's stay.
"Boss, now that the surrounding counties are rushing to Xijing, won't we be isolated!" Qiao Kun was stared at by the prince, and hurriedly put the last yellow squirrel on the plate in front of him into the prince's bowl.
"The delicious food is put in the back, and the more calm we get, the greater the benefit!" Zhao Ta smiled at Qiao Kun, tore off a leg and put it in his mouth and chewed.
Now the situation in Xijing Dao is very delicate, Liao and Jin each control a part of the prefectures and counties, and Xiao Chara, who is in rebellion, is also in a dilemma at the moment, he knows that his position is not justified and unconvincing, which requires him to choose a loyal object among Yelu Yanxi's father and son.
Under the current situation, Yelu Yanxi is not far from Jiashan, not only won the support of all ethnic groups in the north and south of Yinshan and the desert area, but also sent reinforcements from Western Xia, but he was worried that Yelu Yanxi would investigate his responsibility for betraying Jin. And Nanjing was being attacked by the Song Dynasty, and he couldn't help him at all, but at this time he couldn't take care of it, at least everyone was sympathetic, what was good, so he sent a messenger to Nanjing, and refused Yelu Yanxi.
Zhao Tan's strategic goal is to control Xijing, and he can't show up by himself, causing unnecessary trouble inside and outside, and he really wants to be a bitch and set up a memorial arch. The sudden rise of the Texas Army is the only card in his hand, in this complex political and military environment, when to play this card, how to play this card has become the key, but also considering the wisdom of the young politician and military strategist Zhao Ta, before the situation is clear, he chooses to wait...
β¦β¦β¦
After the dinner, the drum had been beaten twice, and Zhao Ta returned to the back house to find that the two old boys were sitting in the garden before they slept!
"Second Brother Zhao, you are really not interesting, I want to spend this festival with you, but you go to be happy by yourself, causing us to wait!" As soon as Zhao Ta appeared, Ah Shu pointed at him and complained.
"I'm sorry, I finally slipped out of the city once, and I wasn't allowed to go shopping for a while, but I haven't forgotten the two old brothers, bring you some food!" Zhao Tangong said with a smile, seeing that there were still mugwort cakes, rhubarb soup and a few plates of dishes on the table in front of them, all of which had not been touched, so he had no choice but to offer the roast yellow squirrel that he had extorted from Qiao Kunna.
"Well, it's delicious, I haven't eaten this in a few days!" Ah Shu snorted vigorously and said, "Mr. Yelu, you are the lord of the city, and you don't have such a good mouth!" β
"Hehe, Mr. Shu, don't laugh, my city lord is a fake, and the second brother Zhao in front of me is afraid that he is the real city lord!" Yelu Yu shook his head and smiled.
"Mr. Yelu, don't joke with my brother, I'm just a businessman, how can I be the lord of the city!" Zhao Ta was stunned for a moment, his mind turned around a few times, he didn't show any flaws in front of them, he said with a snort.
"Yes, how can the second brother Zhao be the city lord? If he was the lord of the city, he wouldn't live with us! Ah Shu also shook his head.
"Hmph, although the two brothers Zhao tried their best to cover it up, and they spoke with a Youzhou accent, the Han people in Youzhou all dressed on the left, while the brothers' were on the right, which was the clothing of the Han people in the Song Kingdom; Then there are the two Zhao brothers, who were born in the Zhao family of Youzhou, which is a century-old family, but they are the Han rites of the Song Kingdom, and the superior of the Han people of Youyan are in charge of the Han people. And we all have guards in the palace around us, but these guards are in awe of the two brothers Zhao, especially the one who has been with you for a long time is a eunuch, and those who can use eunuchs as servants are probably not ordinary people! Do you need me to say more? Yelu Yu snorted and said.
"Hehe... I didn't expect Mr. Yelu to be as wise as a torch! Zhao Ta smiled awkwardly and said, I didn't expect that I had changed my clothes and accent, but I was just tangible and godless, and I still showed so many flaws in the eyes of the real Liao people, "Yes, I am not a Liao person, nor am I a descendant of the Zhao family in Youzhou, but I am really not the lord of Texas, but they are all my subordinates!" Zhao Ta knew that it was pointless to hide it any longer, so he simply confessed it.
'Sizzle...' Yelu Yu took a cool breath, he only guessed from the details of Zhao Ta's clothes and salute that this young man was not from Liao, making him think that Zhao Ta was the city lord or the timing of his appearance was too coincidental, this young man arrived not long after, the Texas army was defeated by the victory and defeated the Jin army, and earth-shaking changes began to take place in the city, all kinds of signs show that the young man is the driving force behind these changes, he is the real city lord! But now Zhao Er admits that his identity is fake, but he shows that he is not the underground city lord, but the leader of the city lord, how can he not be surprised.
"Who the hell are you, and what is the purpose of imprisoning us here?" Ah Shu stood up and asked, he thought he was experienced, but he didn't expect that he still hadn't seen through the identity of this young man, which made him very uneasy.
"It doesn't matter who I am, but the three of us have something in common, we all hate the Jurchens!" Zhao Ta sat down and said slowly, "Mr. Yelu was ruined by the emperor and traitors, but I think the national feud and the family are very different, and you, as a descendant of the Khitans, should know very well. And although Mr. A Shu is a Jurchen, he was chased and killed by the Jurchens, wandering everywhere, and it should be your life's wish to destroy the Yan Department! (To be continued.) )
