Chapter 194: Strategy
Aina was taken aback and said hurriedly: "E, if this is the case, then we will lose more than a dozen cities thousands of miles to the west." Besides, if you don't repel the enemy, you can really hold it for ten or eight years, and the fierce enemy will still not retreat. ”
Seeing that Yan Ge's face was cold, Lin Hua'an pursed his mouth, glanced at Aina, and said to Yan Ge's burning eyes without fear: "Now the land of thousands of miles to the west is full of war, army after army, battalion by battalion. The northwest side: the north of the Xijing Road, the east of the road, Chagu, Green, Baicheng, and Wacheng were all occupied by the Mongols. The southwest side: Dongshengzhou, the west of Xijing, and the south of Xijing were seized by Western Liao. ”
As he spoke, he pulled his gaze from Wan Yange's face to Aina, and asked with a sneer: "More than half of the four cities and nine towns in the three states in the western border have been occupied by others, this is what you said about the loss of more than a dozen cities?" ”
Aina suddenly stalked, Lin Huaan lazily took care of her, turned his head to face Yan Ge, and said coldly: "A piece of corn is just a meal in the eyes of mice, and it is actually the seed of next year's harvest." After speaking, he waved his left palm domineeringly to the door of the hall. The emperor, the ministers sent people with good words as envoys, and sent all the sigils of the three states, four cities and nine towns in the west to Xiliao. ”
Hearing that he was going to give the western territory to Xiliao, Wan Yange's chest rose and fell violently, but he was not Wanyan Tai after all, thinking that half of the cities in the western realm fell into the hands of Temujin, and the other half was plundered by Western Liao, and the remaining small half was like chicken ribs.
"Forehead ......" suppressed his anger and thought about it carefully, Wan Yange's clenched fist slowly loosened, and said with an iron face: "...... Temujin occupies the majority of the cities in the western state, but you want me to give all the western territory to the Western Liao, do you want to separate the Western Liao and Mongolia, and even let them fight? ”
Lin Huaan shook his head, "Western Liao and Mongolia are not stupid, this kind of discord in broad daylight can be understood by anyone. ”
Aina was at a loss, she really couldn't figure it out, and her willow eyebrows twisted into a rope and said, "What are you thinking about that forehead?" ”
"Exactly." Wan Yange was also confused, frowned and asked, "Why do you want to do such a thankless job?" ”
"Three reasons." Lin Hua'an raised three fingers and put away a sermon: "First, I don't have many soldiers and horses, it is too unsafe for the western border to be so woollen, and most of the western territory has fallen, and it is useless to defend the remaining small piece." Also, it is really stupid for the army to abandon the Qinhe River and not use it, and the two courts are fighting separately. Now the two courts are transferred to the left and right of the Qinhe River, and the forbidden army is sent to the border to form a horn. Then our army has both horns and natural dangers. If we take another 10,000 steps back, even if the Three Kingdoms fire enough to lose the horns, then wouldn't it be safer for our army to cut off all the bridges and hold on to the Qin River? ”
These words made Wan Yange nod and ask again: "What about the second point?" ”
Lin Huaan put away another finger and said: "Although the plan of discord will not succeed, it is not without effect. The emperor gave the western frontier to Western Liao, but Temujin occupied many cities in the western frontier, even if Western Liao did not ask for it, Temujin would still be like a thorn in his back. He can't break through Huanzhou in the front, and then he will secretly suspect that Xiliao is stabbing a gun in the back, in this kind of place where he can't move forward and retreats unwillingly, that is, he has this determination and courage, and the soldiers and generals under his command have the same quality as him? ”
"Yes." Aina nodded violently and said to Wan Yange: "Father, what he said is not wrong at all, Temujin summoned all the sweaters to gather in the tooth tent and said that it was a matter of discussion, but he poisoned the khans of various tribes, and many tribes did not obey him very much, as long as he was unable to advance or retreat, as long as the days passed, the tribes that surrendered on the surface would definitely turn against him." ”
"Hmm." Wan Yange nodded, his face softened a lot, and then asked, "What is the third point?" ”
Lin Hua'an looked at him silently, and only when Yan Ge was uncomfortable did he say: "The third point, an important reason why the army must retreat is that the 1.1 million soldiers and horses defending against the Great Song Dynasty attacked fiercely. ”
Hearing that the millions of soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty would come and pounce violently, Wanyan was stunned, and Aina was even more confused, and asked suspiciously: "E, just now you said that as long as my Dajin and Xiliao are not damaged, the Great Song Dynasty will not act rashly, how can I ......?"
Wan Yange was also confused, nodded and asked, "What is the reason for the forehead, and the Great Song Dynasty will use all its forces to attack?" ”
"Because ......" said these two words, Lin Huaan's cold face suddenly smiled, his mouth showed white teeth, and his words were as light as cotton, sentence by sentence: "I... Want... Take... Big... Surname... Open... Knife! ”
"What?" Wan Yan Ge and Aina shouted in unison, looking at the creepy smile in front of them, Wan Yan Ge asked in shock: "You mean to take the Great Song Knife?" How do you open this knife? What kind of knife is it? ”
After staring at Yan Ge's stunned and frightened face, Lin Huaan closed Bai Sensen's teeth, clenched his fists and said, "Since the emperor can trust his ministers, then there is no need to worry. After a while, you can send a court fold, and tomorrow morning the matter of the army retreating to the Qinhe River, it is already half past noon, and Rong Chen will retire first. ”
Before Yan Ge could answer, Lin Huaan turned around and left, he opened his mouth dumbly, and suddenly laughed out loud, seeing that his beloved daughter was unsure of her appearance, he said two words to her, and his beloved daughter had already chased towards the palace gate.
Looking at the men and women who left one after the other, Wan Yange stepped towards the side door with his hands in his hands, pondering and thinking in the direction of the imperial study, the right minister and his gang may not let the forehead be too easy, and it seems that he will have to be autocratic tomorrow morning. Authoritarian and autocratic, the actions of the faint kings of the past dynasties alas!
At the same time, in the famous Yipinlou on Sanheli Street, in the wing room of the Tianlong, several geisha knelt on the spacious red carpet and sang, and the huge round table opposite was full of scarlet-robed officials.
When the geisha finished a piece of music, and there were several bursts of praise from all around, Saizhu smiled, gently touched his beard, watched his colleagues praise left and right, and shouted: "Reward!" ”
His voice fell, and two well-dressed men standing beside the door stepped over to the four geisha kneeling on the ground, took out four pieces of mountain silver and whispered: "Go out." ”
"Lord Xie, Lord Xie." The geisha even knocked over and thanked each other before they dared to stand up on their knees from the ground, bent down to take the silver taels, and did not dare to stand tall and exit the chamber.
Noisy left, Saizhu picked up the wine glass, and the ten maids waiting next to him hurriedly stepped forward to pour the wine, and when the wine was full, they bowed their heads and silently retreated to the side to wait.
"Adults are busy every day, it's rare to have time to get together, come, cheers!"
"Thank you, cheers!"
The group of officials responded in unison, holding wine glasses to meet them, the glasses collided, and the wine overflowed, splashing dozens of luxurious jade delicacies on the table.
After drinking a glass of wine, the master first picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of turtle calf, and laughed heartily. "Every time I think of this stuffy king in Yipinlou, my saliva can't stop flowing down, colleagues, the old man will invite first."
Lu Lu's stuffy Wang Ba, anyone can hear it, Taifu Adechen opened the chopsticks, picked up the stuffy crispy turtle head in the cup, and then moved the chopsticks to the plug column bowl and smiled. "Right Minister, this head of the eight kings, you can gnaw alone, don't be too polite."
"yes." The officials laughed in unison, and several people raised their hands to invite the turtle head in the bowl of the plug: "Please don't be soft." ”
Saizhu's face was full of thick smiles, picked up the chopsticks and gently clamped the turtle head, and was about to put it in his mouth, when suddenly the chopsticks were closed, and the turtle head was put back into the bowl, sighing and said: "The teeth are good before March, maybe you can still gnaw it, but now that you are old, I am afraid it will be difficult to gnaw!" ”
What can be old before and after three months, what the right minister said is naturally that the emperor abdicated and the prince succeeded to the throne.
Taibao Amji looked at the silent everyone, and said with a smile: "Right Minister, we have followed the Emperor Taishang to fight in the south and the north all our lives, what have you never seen, just a little doll, don't worry like this." ”
"yes." Among the imperial officials, Cheng Jinxing also advised: "We are all founding fathers, and their achievements are all in the world, even if the emperor confers this little doll with six Shangshu provinces, and what is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, so what, is it possible that he still dares to touch you?" ”
"Exactly." Lu Lu snorted heavily and said: "If he doesn't dare, if he dares, this generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses may not be able to mobilize the world's soldiers and horses." ”
Hearing Taishi's words, the faces of several people at the table changed greatly, and Saizhu saw that everyone's expressions were different, so he hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "Taishi Lu is too shallow in drinking, and he will get drunk after only one glass." ”
"Yes, yes." Everyone responded in unison, picked up the sprinkled cup, and saluted and persuaded each other to drink.
After six rounds of drinking, the chopsticks poked a fish body in front of him, patrolling everyone who was drinking and swallowing food, and suddenly said seriously: "I am in a broken situation now, and I have the blessing of the heavens, and I have invited this patriarch of the great clan, and it is rumored that one of his younger brothers is the prince of the Song court two hundred years ago, and the second is the current Song family strong Liang Lin Bolun. ”
Speaking of this, he put down his chopsticks, smiled at the eyes gathered on his face, and said again with his palm: "We haven't seen that one two hundred years ago, but he knows it." Now this one of the Great Song Dynasty, when Heshuo was fighting for hegemony, he was spitting, and everyone saw the means with their own eyes. The one who came to my dynasty now is known as the number one in the temple, and although his ability has not yet been covered by the coffin, it will not be too bad to think about it. ”
Everyone's eyes were sparkling on Saizhu's face, all in the bottom of their hearts, and the right minister suddenly praised the little doll, did he retreat? Don't you dare to go against him anymore?
Seeing that everyone's faces were full of doubts, Sai Zhu stroked his beard for a while, and then turned his gaze to a man with a lighter robe at the end of the right tail, and asked with a slight smile: "Sang Shilang, the two adults are so entangled in official duties, so even the lunch is also used in the province, it seems that the master of the horse is really going to deal with this troublesome matter this time, right?" ”
Sancho, the head of the household, was bitter in his heart, quickly got up and bowed, squeaked for a while, and whispered: "Yes, the horse came to go straight to the province without even returning home, the first order is to let everyone move the tables and chairs to the second hall, and use the third hall as a library, saying that the six provinces were too heavy in the past and dismissed, and now he is the head of the provinces. ”
Sancho's words made several people frown, thinking to themselves where did the right minister want to listen to these sesame trivial things, how could this guy answer like this?
