Chapter 134 Strive for fame in the dynasty and profit in the city
Zhang Suo listened, and secretly marveled in his heart.
Listening to the judgment of the official family, telling about the situation of the Song and Jin wars, as well as the comparison of combat power, to the later Northern Expedition, Zhang all felt suddenly enlightened, but he still felt that it was the best policy to be Bianliang.
Zhao Pu continued: "Zhang Shilang, advocate returning the capital to Bianliang. The double city of Jingshi is eighty miles wide, and Zongshe, Gongque, Shengmin, and Baisi are all here, and they live in the capital enough to control Hedong and Hebei, which are the fundamental places of the country. There are five benefits in Bianliang: serving the temple and protecting the mausoleum, which is the first; comfort hearts, this is the second; The desire to sustain the four seas, this is the third; to dispel the doubts about the abandonment of Hebei, this is the fourth; The imperial court had a place of stability early and grasped the border defense, which was the fifth. ”
"To sum up, there are five benefits, sacrifice to the temple, appease people's hearts, control the world, refuse to cut land, and consolidate border defense! To sum up, it is nothing more than two points, sacrificing to the temple, appeasing people's hearts, and controlling the world, which is the righteousness of the world and the name of the world; Refusing to cede land and consolidating border defense is a great benefit for the world. This reminds me of Sima's mistake in attacking Shu! Zhang Yi said well, strive for fame in the dynasty and profit in the city. Fame and fortune are all in the Central Plains, but also in Bianliang. As long as you are still in Bianliang, you can get the righteousness of the world and the name of the world, so as to compete in the world and win the Central Plains! ”
Zhao Pudao, "The Central Plains is the belly of the world, if you want to compete for the world, you must fight for the Central Plains, and if you want to become orthodox in the world, you must fight for the Central Plains!" ”
"But now, do we have the capital to fight for the world, do we have the capital to compete for the world's fame and the world's righteousness?" Zhao Pu sneered, "Now we are all a group of lost dogs, my father and brother were captured by the Jin army, and tens of thousands of people were taken captive. The regular army of the Song Dynasty has all been wiped out, and the new army has not yet been trained, so we are qualified to compete for the world? ”
"Now that our dynasty is in a weak and precarious situation, the most important thing at this time is not to fight for the world and compete with the Jin army, but on the one hand, to fight with the Jin army and cultivate a new army in the battle; On the other hand, it is necessary to stabilize the rear, cultivate and recuperate, and accumulate people's strength. In a word, build a high wall, accumulate grain, train a new army, and slow down the Northern Expedition. ”
"In the past, Li Mi of Wagang, the world's hero, was the world's first hero, but unfortunately there was no stable rear, no strong army to support, but he was arrogant to attack the Central Plains, thinking about stabilizing the world, but in Luoyang City, exhausted Wagang's elite soldiers, and finally defeated and ended miserably."
"If he was at that time, he would not be in a hurry to win the Central Plains, not to fight with Wang Shiyun, but to go north to occupy Hebei, Shandong and other places, obtain a stable base area, and then chase the Central Plains. At that time, if you were lucky, you could rule the world; If you are unlucky, you can also confront Guanzhong and reproduce the confrontation between the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi. It's a pity, one wrong step, one wrong step, and there is no power to return to heaven! ”
"Before there is a stable rear, before there is no strong army, before there is no strength to destroy the Jin army in one fell swoop, it is best not to easily return to Bianliang. Once the capital is still in Bianliang, it will only exhaust the last bit of strength of our dynasty! ”
Zhang Suo was dumbfounded, and Zong Ze nodded secretly.
"If there are a million Qin troops in hand, if there are 200,000 Han troops in hand, if there are 200,000 Tang troops in hand, what is it to be Bianliang, even if it is to recover Youyun and capture the emperor of Jin as a horseman, it is not impossible!" Zhao Pu said quietly, secretly lost in his heart.
There is still no strong army, if there is a strong army, what is the Jin army!
………………
It's finally over, talking continuously, constantly expounding his views, and constantly debating, Zhao Pu's throat is smoking, and he feels extremely uncomfortable.
After this meeting, the general anti-gold policy was also formulated, focusing on guarding the Sichuan and Shaanxi regions, followed by Shandong, and then Henan.
Sichuan and Shaanxi, with a dangerous terrain, is not conducive to the cavalry galloping, can rely on the mountains and rivers to resist the Jin army. As long as Sichuan and Shaanxi are not lost, the Song army can easily support the Hedong Righteous Army and threaten Henan and other places, even if the Jin army occupies Hedong and other places, it may not be stable. Even if Bianliang fell again one day, and the land of Henan was occupied by the Jin army again, as long as Sichuan and Shaanxi were in hand, the Jin army could not sleep well.
In Zhao Pu's view, Sichuan and Shaanxi occupy an extremely important role. As long as Sichuan and Shaanxi are not lost, this important strategic fulcrum exists, even if Henan, Shandong, and even Lianghuai are lost, it is not important, and the lost territory can be easily recovered. If Sichuan and Shaanxi were lost, then they would go down the river and sweep through the south of the Yangtze River, like the Mongol army in history, outflanking counterclockwise, and the Song Dynasty might really be destroyed.
Sichuan and Shaanxi must be the most reliable, have the highest qualifications, have the strongest ability, and are the most fair, have little selfishness, have first-class ability to lead the army in big battles, and have first-class political ability in order to be competent. Is this a difficult candidate?
The second is Shandong, in Zhao Pu's view, Shandong's location is extremely important, not only threatening Hebei and other places; If you attack across the sea by boat, you can easily threaten Youyun, Liaodong and other places. As long as Shandong is not lost, Youyun, Liaodong and other regions are on the front line of the war. This also requires talent, and people who are extremely flexible in the use of soldiers can be competent.
As for the area around Bianliang, Henan?
In Zhao Pu's view, this is completely a big pit, whoever falls into it will be unlucky. In the past, a large amount of grain had to be transported from the south every year to feed Bianliang. Now under the war, Cao Yun has long been cut off. Coupled with the devastation of the war, there will be no leisure for spring ploughing, and there will be famine in Henan and other places.
In Bianliang and other places, it is simply impossible to raise war with war.
The Jin army captured Bianliang, why didn't they send a soldier and horse to defend it to prevent the restoration of the Song Dynasty royal family, but directly withdrew the army to leave. This is because the food consumption of the 150,000 gold army is too great, and the cost of eating horses and chewing is huge, and it is difficult to support the 150,000 army, so it can only retreat.
Yue's army is known as "freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without plundering". Only during a period of time in Bianliang did the Yuejia army also plunder. It is not possible to plunder without plunder, and there is too little food and grass.
Historically, there are many reasons why Bianliang has been lost many times, and one of the most important reasons is the shortage of grain and grass.
Bianliang is located in the Central Plains, close to the Yellow River, and there are fewer soldiers and horses sent to defend it; There are too many soldiers and horses sent, and the food consumption is huge, and the gains outweigh the losses, in short, it is a catastrophe. Whoever is sent to defend will lose it.
As for the specific selection, Zhao Pu didn't get along, so let the bigwigs in the three provinces think?
…………
At the moment when Zhao Pu and the minister were fighting with each other, the news of Zhao Pu's proclamation as emperor also reached the hands of Jin Jun.
After plundering a large amount of gold and silver treasures, the Jin army began to retreat in two directions. One route was detained by Zongwang, including Song Huizong, Empress Zheng and her princes, imperial grandchildren, concubines, princesses, concubines, etc., who had gone north along Huazhou three days earlier; The other route was detained by Zong Han, including Song Qinzong, Empress Zhu, the crown prince, the clan and several officials who refused to give in, such as Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye, and Qin Hui, and traveled north along Zhengzhou. There were also various ritual vessels, antique cultural relics, books, palace people, chamberlains, advocates, craftsmen, etc., and no less than 100,000 men and women were abducted.
There are wealth, there are beauties, there is the glory of victory, everything is so beautiful, one returns to the nest of Datong, and the other returns to the nest of Yanjing.
After the restoration of the Song Dynasty and the arrival of Zhao Pu as emperor, Wanyan was just stunned and stopped talking.
In his opinion, this is just a small matter, if he can capture two emperors of the Song Dynasty today, he can still capture this emperor in the future.
After Yan Yan listened to it, he said quietly: "Let the tiger return to the mountain, I don't know if it's right or wrong!" ”
After Yan Lou heard the news, he immediately threw the cup to the ground angrily, "He was just a prince in the past, and he tossed like this; If I become the emperor today, it must be a big trouble for my henchmen! As soon as he thought of this difficult opponent, Wan Yan Lou was extremely uneasy, such a great enemy ascended the throne, and it was difficult to sleep.
He wanted to ask Wanyan Muhan to send troops, lead 30,000 elite soldiers to the south, go straight to Nanjing, and capture Zhao Pu. But Wan Yan refused to leave, saying that summer is the hot season, and it is not easy for war horses to be dispatched. In addition, the army has been fighting fiercely for a long time and needs to rest.
Wanyan Lou retreated gloomily.
The marshal was right when he said that the army needed to rest, and now the soldiers are enjoying the beauties of the Song Dynasty, drinking wine and eating meat, listening to the music of the orchestra, and rejoicing. Who wants to go to war?
Suddenly, Wanyan Lou Room thought of what the Han people said: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift!" "I am used to living a hard life, and once I encounter a luxurious life, it is very easy to indulge, lose my fighting spirit, and die of drunken dreams.
Gentle Township, Hero's Grave.
Wanyan Lou suddenly regretted it, and felt that the Jin army had made the biggest mistake, that is, to kidnap a large number of women of the Song Dynasty, take away a large number of women, and distribute them to the soldiers, and the generals also led the emperors and noblewomen of the Song Dynasty home.
It was even planned to set up a laundry house for the recreation of the warriors.
An army that is addicted to wine, an army that is content with pleasure, how can it be invincible in the world.
Vaguely, Wan Yan Lou felt a pain in his heart, and felt that the Jurchen was not satisfied with 10,000 and was full of invincible strong troops, and gradually went away.
