Chapter 210: Harmony Gives Birth to 'Wealth'
Tong Guan was also helpless here, his plans were disrupted again and again, and he wanted to wait for Zhao Ta to fail and then clean up the mess and preside over the peace talks. As long as the circumstance is good, in his opinion, even if Zhao Ta is defeated, it can be said to be a great victory, after all, he still won Fengzhou and blocked Brother Cha's Eastern Expeditionary Army, and Hezhou is just a gain and a loss, so Zhao Ta even if he is a prince has to be at his mercy, he is a good person up and down, and leading the army to attack Liao is just a matter of course.
When Zhao Ta repeatedly asked him to send troops to Henan in the name of the Hedong Road Economic and Strategic Division, and when the rear troops of the Right Wing Military Division of Western Xia were empty, Tong Guan hesitated again. He knew that the Hedong Road of the Dao River was bordered by Liao and Xia, and that the Liao State and the Western Xia had always been on good terms, and Zhao Ta would not leave troops on guard, and the troops that could be mobilized were limited, but to carry out such a large military operation, at least more than 100,000 troops would be mobilized, and he could only ask for him, as long as he calmed down, Zhao Ta's plan would definitely be in vain, so he ignored the opposition of the generals, expressed his silence on this, and ignored it.
But there are always accidents, Tong Guan didn't expect that Zhao Ta left his help and relied on his own strength and could only mobilize the four generals of the forbidden army and the archers of the Tibetan army not only recovered the lost land, but also ate Chage's army of the Western Expedition, and fought Chage to flee in the wilderness, and now he is nowhere to be found, and now he has set up an army to the east, and it only took a few days to take the land of the two states, and he is about to join forces in Xiazhou. He didn't dare to pack a ticket if he couldn't scoop down Lingzhou, but sweeping Yan, Wei, and Youshu Prefectures was just around the corner.
Tong Guan reflected that although he had the credit of pacifying Hehuang, capturing Tong'an City, and occupying Hengshan, it was the work of several years of poverty. Spent countless money and food, lost 100,000 soldiers, and this year there were successive fiascos, Liu Fa died in battle, Brother Cha disturbed the realm, Jingxia City was almost lost, and the two sides were compared, and the high and low were immediately revealed. His limelight has been completely overshadowed, and if things continue to develop like this, I am afraid that I will no longer have the right to speak in the northwest, and it will be Zhao Ta who will lead the troops to attack Liao.
Now it's getting to this point. On the one hand, Tong Guan urged Cai You to come quickly to deliver the decree and promote peace talks, on the other hand, he also rushed to Yinzhou to invite Zhao Ta to talk. Give yourself a little more light on your face, so that you can give an explanation to the generals, but I didn't expect Zhao Ta to be as 'rude' as he was before... But as soon as things are delayed, it is already this time and that time. Tong Guan had to put down his body to come to visit, and even put down the shelf of his predecessors. Seeking to see him as a royal minion, he is now done. But it is still unknown whether people are willing to give alms, so the old eunuch is still worried. Tong Guan also pushed himself to a dead end by doing this, and if he was rejected again, there was no other way to go except to turn his face, otherwise he would no longer be able to mess around in the court!
......
For Tong Guan's unexpected visit, Zhao Ta quickly calmed down, for this old boy he can't talk about much hatred now, for his disgust or mainly from the memory of his previous life, through his observation like Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu Although these people are greedy for power and wealth, disaster to the country and the people, and have done a lot of bad things, but they still did some useful things, such as Cai Jing set up a Jichuan Hospital to adopt orphans and widows, and implemented the earliest national basic compulsory education system in Chinese history, etc., and it was not bad to the family, at most it was to spare no effort to crack down on dissidents. Political struggle, it's normal!
But later, his father's newly introduced Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao, Li Bangyan, Zhu Mian, Cai You and others, in addition to welcoming the horse, are disaster to the country and the people, and they can't do anything practical, and they are even inferior to Cai Taishi, Tong Gonggong, and Gao Taiwei. Huashigang was there in the early stage, but it wasn't until these newcomers came up that Huashigang began to be notorious for harming the world, and everyone was implicated, who let them even if they were the initiators and promoters! …,
Tong Guan also had a meal for Zhao Ta in his early years, and after entering Beijing, he was polite to him several times, and he also strongly recommended himself as the prince, which cannot be regarded as an outsider. After arriving in the northwest, Zhao Ta also wrote a letter to Tong Guan with the gift of the lower officials, and there was no shortage of gifts for the three festivals, he was very respectful, and he had not put the prince on the shelf, even if he had the authority to supervise Shaanxi Road last year, he had never used it, and he was worthy of him.
Another Zhao Ta is not willing to have a stalemate with Tong Guan, after all, the two of them are in the northwest of the same town, and they will inevitably support each other, if the two adults are not in harmony, it will be not good for the country and the people; Another important reason is that Zhao Ta knows very well that he can go to the northwest, except for a few boys in the court who want to wear small shoes for him, mainly because his father saw that Tong Guan was too powerful in the northwest and let him come to contain him, and he also knew that this was an expedient measure, and he was just a guest in the northwest.
The emperors of all Chinese dynasties generally regarded eunuchs as domestic slaves, believing that they had lost their children and grandchildren, so they did not have the political ambition to seek power and usurp the throne, but at most coveted some wealth. Throughout history, there is indeed no case of a eunuch becoming an emperor in China, but once the goal of decentralization is achieved, his days in power in the northwest will come to an end, so Zhao Ta will not be in a hurry to quarrel with Tong Guan for his own plans.
But this year's events have been repeated several times, but Zhao Ta was embarrassed, and he immediately sent troops to help after receiving Tong Guan's request for help, although he also had his own purpose of taking the opportunity to provoke a big war, but it also relieved him of the siege and let him tide over the difficulties. Later, Zhao Ta reported his plan to Tong Tong, and invited him to send troops together to capture Henan several times, but Tong Guan started his own calculations and abandoned him, which made Zhao Ta annoyed, thinking that he had repaid the old feelings when he broke the siege this time, and since then the two do not owe each other, each has gone his own way, and has made up his mind to complete the battle plan alone, but at this time the old guy came to the door to pretend to be pitiful...
"The prince is really a strong general? p>
Choking. 庑┤ recitation ⌒ ∧ the legs are hurried and the legs are in a hurry, and the beauty is noisy, and I have to serve the old ah.1 Zhao Ta asked the loyal generals stationed in Shizhou to salute Tong Guan, looking at the young faces, Tong Guan sighed and said? p>
"Hehe, the captain is modest, this king has no way, he has just arrived, there are no soldiers and no generals in his hands, so he can only let the little guys in the house fill the number, this is also to catch the ducks on the shelves, there is no way to do it, no more than the captain is a veteran who can fight for a long time, speaking of which I am envious!" Zhao Ta waved his hand and let everyone go down to the hall, leaving only a few small yellow doors such as Jianxi and Wangfu to wait.
"You also go and taste the prince's good wine, get close to those young generals, don't stay here, will the prince still harm me?" Tong Guan saw that Zhao Ta was not the slightest wary of himself, and looked at the guards standing behind him holding the hilt of the knife, but he felt that he was too careful, and waved them out, leaving only the little yellow door that was waiting with him.
"Seeing the joy, I ordered the brothers of the fire army to kill cattle and sheep, entertain friendly troops, make an exception today to drink, and don't slack off!" Of course, Zhao Ta was not stingy, and ordered to be entertained.
"Captain, I have already asked for a postponement of peace talks, so what do you think about the development of the battle situation?" The two talked a few words of gossip and continued the old one, and Zhao Ta turned the topic to his intention.
"Lord Wang, the lower officials think that now that Brother Cha is defeated, the right wing of Western Xia has lost 100,000 soldiers, although it has not reached the point where there are no soldiers to send, but it is also a great loss of vitality, and the troops in the border states are empty, we should quickly occupy and consolidate before it transfers reinforcements from the Western Front, strictly guard the danger, create a fait accompli, and then restart peace talks with Western Xia, that would be the most beneficial to us!" Tong Guan secretly scolded in his heart, you shouted about the great victory in the northwest from Hedong to Hebei, and then to Beijing, Cai You has long run out of ideas, how dare he come to peace talks again, he has already re-asked for the decree, your father knows that you have won so much, you will only think that it is a small matter, how can you let go of this opportunity and rush for peace talks, I have no choice but to do it! …,
"Taiwei sees things clearly, and his words are to the point, if we insist on peace talks at this time, it is indeed a pity, if we can go to Lingzhou and talk about it when we are across the river from Xingzhou, then reach an alliance under the city and force Xixia to submit, it is the best policy!" Zhao Ta nodded yes, but sighed and said, "It's just that Hedong has a small number of soldiers, and it took every means to gather 50,000 horses, even if such a large territory is taken and sprinkled like pepper noodles, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold it, but I'm afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty, and now I'm so worried that I can't sleep!" "Why doesn't Zhao Tan understand Tong Guan's psychology at this time, doesn't he just want to find fault and send troops to grab merit, I'll give you another step to see if you ride a donkey or get on a horse.
"Yes, now the matter of the invasion of Liao in the DPRK has been decided, and the only soldiers who can fight in the country are our Western Army, once it is implemented, it will inevitably transfer troops from the northwest to Hebei, and the DPRK and China are in a hurry to negotiate peace with the Western Xia, so there is not much time left for the prince to implement the plan, and it is necessary to fight quickly, if the prince has difficulties, the lower officials are willing to help!" Tong Guan listened to Zhao Ta's words, and was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that there was a door for what he wanted, and seeing that the ladder was coming down, why didn't he hurry up.
"Taiwei is righteous, this king is grateful, but the movement of soldiers and horses is a big deal, Taiwei has to think twice!" Zhao Ta 'Thanksgiving' clenched his fists and said, but he sneered in his heart, although he said that he was kind and made money, but you talked to me about business at this time and said so 'tactfully', is it really easy for me to be foolish, now it is a seller's market, and the price has to be opened by me!
"The prince looked down on someone, captured Xingling, and scooped the thief chief has always been the long-cherished wish of the lower officials, but he has struggled for many years, but he has not been able to do so, and today if the prince does not dislike it, the old slave is willing to be driven, although he does not hesitate to do so!" When Tong Guan heard Zhao Ta's words, he seemed to have the intention of refusing, and he didn't dare to put up a shelf anymore, wiped his face, and threw his face on the ground.
"Taiwei's words are serious, how dare this king, since he is willing to conspire with great things, let's discuss it carefully!" Zhao Ta looked at Tong and bowed his head, knowing that he had scooped up his life, but he didn't want to live in the northwest, and wanted to go north to attack Liao, so he immediately changed to a buyer's tone.
