"Not to mention helping the war, these thousands of people can't even pass Shangluo Mountain, even if they are lucky enough to pass Shangluo, they will immediately meet tens of thousands of elites of Wang Shixian of Gongchang Mansion." Bi Zilun said hatefully: "Now I really can't do anything, I can only seek Zheng Yunming's assistance first." ”

Qin Wu laughed: "Do you really regard Zheng Yunming as an immortal, thousands of miles away, there are many mountains, what can he do?" ”

"There's a way." Bai Yijie shook the white feather fan, looking determined.

Zheng Yunming approached him and whispered, "Strategist, if you are not sure, it is not good to accept it casually." ”

Bai Yijie slapped the white feather horizontally and said, "Don't meddle in this matter." ”

He said to Bi Zilun: "This matter is not a public matter, Mr. This trip is not for the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no commendable friendship between us." I don't know if Lu Dao is such a big favor, what does Mr. want to repay? ”

Bi Zilun's face twitched, and he knew that his position was subtly different from that of Zheng Yunming and Bai Yijie. If it was Qin Wu or Wang Deng who pleaded, Zheng Yunming would definitely agree. But if you want to ask for this matter, you must pay Bai Yijie.

He clenched his fist under the table and said in a deep voice: "In the second year of Xingding, that is, in the tenth year of Jiading in the Southern Dynasty, Dajin sent the left deputy marshal to lead the southern expedition, and I was also in the army, and the army broke through many prefectures and counties along the way. Until the breakthrough of Qizhou, countless treasures of money and grain of the Southern Dynasty were seized. However, when the army returned, it was designed by the Song soldiers and lost many horses on the south bank of the Huai River. Marshal Fusan was afraid that the Song army would take advantage of the victory to attack, and many of the captures that his army had won in bloody battles were easily recaptured by the enemy. So he ordered the gold, silver and jewels to be buried in a secret place, and then the whole army retreated. ”

"So that's what you offered?" Bai Yijie's voice seemed to come from his nostrils: "I am waiting for Zheng Dutong to be here, can I still lack money to spend?" ”

Zheng Yunming turned his head and glanced at Bai Yijie. If you have a lot of money, you don't have to worry about using it, and he can really say it. At present, there are less than 500,000 yuan in the treasury of the Jing'e Metropolitan Division. It seems that it can still support it for a while, but in fact, all kinds of projects are like hungry beasts devouring the savings of the Jing and E army. made Zheng Yunming have to carefully plan his expenses. In front of Xiao Zhao's envoys, he also strongly advocated strengthening local defense and establishing an overall defense structure that integrates the government and the people. Now is the season of green and yellow, if you can receive such a windfall, it can be described as a surprise from the sky.

But Bai Yijie didn't seem to be sympathetic to Zheng Yunming's increasingly deflated purse, and just smiled: "Gold and silver alone can't buy my people." ”

Bi Zilun's eyes widened, his fists clenched as if he was about to have a seizure, and he sat for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "What are you going to do?" ”

Bai Yijie said slowly: "I heard that the Mongols opened a war horse prison in Xuzhou for the convenience of the southern expedition, and there are as many as 30,000 good horses that can be ridden. Do you know about this matter? ”

Bi Zilun replied angrily: "What about Zhilu Dao? The Mongols did not believe in the Han Chinese, nor in the Jurchens and others, and the horse supervisors were all in charge of the people from Mobei, and no one else could insert a needle. ”

"But there are many troops stationed outside Xuzhou, many of which were originally Mr.'s old troops." Bai Yijie said lightly: "As long as Mr. can help me get these 30,000 good horses, I will naturally agree to the rescue of Huizhou." ”

Bi Zilun said hatefully: "It will always take a few months to contact the old department and deploy the plan, and the enemy is about to break through Huizhou, how can the time come?" ”

Seeing that he was serious, Bai Yijie also put down the feather fan, and said: "If you want to do this, of course you don't want to implement it immediately. Now Lianghuai is also nervously preparing for autumn, and he can't allocate the manpower he needs. I just need a word from Mr., and then wait until next spring and summer when I have free time, contact the two Huai sides, and prepare for a big move. ”

He smiled and said, "With Mr. Gaoyi, is it not impossible to speak?" ”

Bi Zilun snorted and nodded: "Since this is the case, let's make a decision." ”

"In other words, Huizhou is just ahead of the Mongols, and it is a big problem that the Mongols are eager to elicit. After autumn, the main force of the Mongol army stationed in Lanzhou will definitely pour out of the nest and attack Huizhou with all its might. We are just ordinary people, and we are not really ribbed wings, and we can fly into Huizhou City to rescue people. If you can't save it, don't blame him. ”

"But it's just manpower, success or failure depends on the destiny of heaven, how can you force perfection?" Bi Zilun's words are very bleak, the society has fallen into decline, and it is a very slim thing to rebuild the country from the ruins. Success or failure does require a little luck from God.

When Bi Zilun said goodbye, Bai Yijie was actually sent to the yamen in person for the first time, which is undoubtedly an attitude for him with his self-respecting identity.

"Whether it succeeds or not, our generation should go all out." Bai Yijie said: "I hope that the soldiers and soldiers of the Northern Army who are still in our country can also go all out against the emperor's orders." ”

Bi Zilun snorted coldly, turned around and left.

"Guo shrimp toad is naturally worthy of admiration." When Bai Yijie returned to the side hall, Zheng Yunming had already taken out the topographic map of the Ganshan area and hung it on the shelf, and studied it carefully: "But after all, he is the general of the Jin Kingdom, and letting Mr. Song risk being exposed to come to the rescue will inevitably outweigh the losses." ”

"Everything is subject to Song Yichang's own judgment in front." Bai Yijie replied simply: "The hidden front in the north is different from here, and you can't force a certain task to be completed. Everything is based on the self-determination of the person concerned, because only the information of the North that we can grasp is only scratching the surface, and only the detailed work on the ground itself has the conditions to judge what is feasible and what is dangerous. But if conditions permit, I really hope that Yoshicho can make some noise in Aishu. If the Mongols successfully captured Huizhou, the pressure on the Shukou side would be too great. ”

Zheng Yunming nodded silently, he understood that Guo Shrimp Toad and Shukou were in a relationship of lips and teeth. With Guo Shrimp Toad insisting in Huizhou, the Mongols are like thorns in their backs, and it is impossible to devote all their energy to the Shukou strategy on the southern front. In this way, last year they also made great progress in the direction of attacking Sichuan, attacking several border prefectures and counties. The periphery of Shukou was further damaged. If they really take Huizhou easily, then hundreds of thousands of troops and horses will drive straight in, and it is not something that can be stopped by 20,000 or 30,000 old and weak soldiers in Shukou District.

He couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with the Son of Heaven at the imperial banquet before leaving Lin'an. It would be nice if these words could have a slight reminder effect on the Son of Heaven.

But when he thought about it, he laughed at his naivety, the hairy boy who had not yet embarked on his career talked about national affairs, let alone today, even if there was such a person talking about himself now, he might not buy it as a powerful general in Jinghu.

What's more, Sichuan Road is a special existence in the current territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Since the southern crossing, the imperial court has faced tremendous pressure from Jinghu and Lianghuai, and has no energy or extra troops to take care of the Sichuan region. So for a long time, Sichuan Road has been in a state of self-destruction.

As early as the Shaoxing period, some ministers participated in Gaozong's performance, impeached Wu Jue and Wu Luan brothers entrenched in the west, and ignored the decrees of the imperial court. Gaozong is a smart man, and of course he understands the special situation in Sichuan, and he just laughs it off.

But what should not be laughed at is the trend of Sichuan's feudal townization, which became particularly conspicuous as the country settled down after the southern crossing. So much so that Wu Xi, the ambassador of Sichuan pacification, had two ambitions and tried to betray the Song Dynasty and surrender to the Jin State.

After Wu Xi's rebellion was pacified, the situation of Sichuan Road Domain Townization did not fundamentally change, whether it was the more loyal pacification envoy An Bing, or the more independent pacification envoy Zhao Yanna at the moment, every marshal of Sichuan Road intentionally or unintentionally resisted the imperial court's decrees. This is due to the unique geographical location of Sichuan Road.

Even if the emperor personally ordered Sichuan to pacify the people who made Zhao Yanna retreat to Chengdu Mansion in advance, most of the time he would just be a member of the political hall and would not obey the casual orders of the officials who did not know the situation ahead.

How did the emperor in the imperial city of Lin'an judge the situation in Sichuan?

Zheng Yunming guessed maliciously that maybe this Duanping Tianzi did not take the dangerous situation in Sichuan to heart at all. He was so obsessed with Erwu's exploits in the Qinba Mountains that he regarded Qinba Tianwei as an almighty guardian saint.

It is estimated that the Holy Lord in the Funing Palace should be more worried about the internal affairs of the imperial court at present. Zheng Yunming looked at the clouds rolling up in the sky. The weather is about to turn bad, but many people are still ignorant.

"Well, if you go outside, you must first settle inside."

If the emperor is only busy dealing with internal political disputes, he does not care about the situation in the border areas. That is definitely wronging this Zhao official who has been doubly diligent since Shi Miyuan's death.

In the morning, after the court meeting, he specially left Wei Liaoweng, who had recently recovered a little from his illness, and asked him to discuss the situation in the Jinghu area and Wei Liaoweng's ten suggestions for improvement in detail in person.

"The situation in Jinghu cannot be said to be completely free of danger as far as it is now." Wei Liaoweng recuperated at home for a long time, and finally regained a little spirit when he spoke, but his mind was still hanging in Jinghu, which was thousands of miles away.

"The Mongol cavalry is ten times stronger than the golden thieves, and the areas that the Jin people couldn't attack before were also swept away by the Mongols this time." He said worriedly: "And the weakness of the army in the border area is even more obvious this time. Except for a few important towns where the imperial capital was stationed, the armies of other states and counties basically did not dare to go out of the city to fight with the enemy. ”
