Chapter 212: It's Man-Made
Now that the hole card is out, Zhao Ta knows it in his heart, and said: "Taiwei is here just right, now although my Hedong Army has won many battles, the momentum is like a bamboo, but after the war, several states have been fired, the people are poor, now the autumn harvest is imminent, I can't bear to requisition again, I feel that the troops are insufficient, Taiwei can send troops at this time can be said to save the king in fire and water!" ”
"The prince is generous, the lower officials are grateful, at this time the right wing of the Xia army is empty, the left wing battle has just ended, even now it is too late to point to the set, at this time when the army enters the autumn grain warehouse, the grain and grass of the soldiers and horses can be solved along the way, it can be said that it is just the right time, the lower officials can follow the prince to fight the autumn wind is already very satisfied!" Tong Guan has not yet reached the point of having a two-skin face, and he knows that he is suspected of picking up cheap when he sends troops at this time, but now he has been appreciated by the prince, and his old face is a little unbearable.
"Taiwei is a famous general of the dynasty, how can he be subject to me, being able to come is already to give this king a big face, see the map of the joy!" The sedan chair is carried by everyone, Zhao Ta knows his strength, according to this momentum of development, it is only a matter of time to capture Lingzhou and take Henan, but he has always had hidden worries in his heart, so he does not dare to delay it any longer, that is, according to the history of this year's 'Fang La rebellion'!
As early as the year before when he went to Jiangnan, Zhao Ta had visited this person, but there was no result, he could only take some precautions, but he also knew that as long as he left, Jiangnan was still the same Jiangnan, corrupt officials were still rampant, flowers and stones were levied, taxes were collected, and the people were still poor, and the seeds of rebellion had already been planted, but I don't know when Ludao broke out.
In history, Song and Xia had already reached a peace agreement in July. Tong Guan then led the Western Army back to Korea. The preparation for the battle of Liao coincided with the rebellion of Fangla, which swept the entire south of the Yangtze River. Tong Guan was ordered to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, suppress the rebellion, and capture Fang La, but the disaster affected the southeast half of the six states and 52 counties, which fundamentally shook the rule of the dynasty, and since then it has been in a slump, laying the foundation for the fall of the near future.
Now that Fang La has not been found, the time bomb has not been removed. Maybe it will explode at any time, and now that the war in the northwest is unresolved, of course Tong Guan can't leave, but if Fang La makes trouble at this time. But it's not just in Jiangdong, it may really overthrow the throne of the Zhao family in the Great Song Dynasty, so Zhao Ta is also anxious, although Tong Guan came a little late, but he still welcomes it, after all, he may have to ask someone to calm the chaos for his family!
"Captain, please look!" Seeing that the leader of Xi laid out the map, Zhao Ta pointed and said, "My Hedong army is now in Shizhou, and this king is ready to lead the army north along the Wuding River valley to meet Xiazhou." Then he captured Yaozhou and Yanzhou, and then turned to capture the Jingsai Military Division and the Baotai Military Division of Western Xia, went north along the Yellow River, and gathered troops under the city of Lingzhou. Although there is no great enemy, it is far away from Hedong, and the supply will be difficult, and the soldiers are already small, and it is not appropriate to divide the troops and march far away. I am also afraid of chaos after life, since the captain is willing to send troops to help, then things will be much easier! ”
"Alas, Xia Guan is really old, and the prince dares to go on a thousand miles of expeditions with 50,000 military horses. Attacking the city and plundering the land, if it weren't for the fact that the prince defeated the Chagoxi expedition army with fewer victories. How did the lower officials dare not do it! Tong Guan told the truth at this time, this bureau is too big, no one dared to believe it before the war, but Zhao Ta he did it, and it was perfect, now listening to Zhao Ta say that the soldiers are few and outnumbered, his heart is straight over sour water, people are modest, they don't want to embarrass themselves, they are not ready to do it, how dare they carry out such a large-scale action.
"This king is just stupid and bold, plus a little luck!" Zhao Ta looked at Tong Guan's bitter gourd face and said with a smile, it was not good to stimulate him anymore.
"How the prince arranges it now, how the lower officials will do it!" Tong Guan now knows that he regrets it, if he had agreed, how favorable the situation would be, whether he can drink soup now, he has to rely on others' charity, but what can he do, he can't be greedy if he asks for food! …,
"Okay, then the captain will listen to it and see if this arrangement is appropriate!" Zhao Ta leaned down and pointed his finger at the map, "Since the Taiwei sent troops, I thought it would be better for the troops to be divided into two routes, and the Hedong Army still marched to Lingzhou with the Wuding River Road as the main line, ending at Hanhai as the boundary; Taiwei can send Shaanxi Qinfeng Road and Huanqing Road troops from the border forts to attack the Baotai Military Division and the Jingsai Military Division respectively, seize the Lingzhou Sichuan Road, and join the troops under the Lingzhou City, and build a special honor with the Taiwei! ”
"This..."Tong Guan didn't expect Zhao Ta to be so happy, and cut off a big cake for himself.
"Does the Taiwei think there is something wrong, is he worried that the Lingzhou River Road will be difficult to break through for a while?" Zhao Ta looked at Tong Guan's stunned appearance, thinking that he was embarrassed, "Don't worry, I still have a strange soldier in my hand to help the captain, in the battle of Turbidity Lunchuan, I surrendered the original Jingsai Army Division to command the army Zhengchuan, he is a wealthy family there, with deep roots and great appeal, you can send him as the forerunner and recruit all departments, and things will be much easier!" ”
"The prince treats the officials like this, which makes me ashamed!" Tong Yi was speechless, and said with a salute, he calculated others in every possible way, but others treated him sincerely and scooped out all the things in his hands.
"Why do you have to be like this, aren't we all for the emperor and the people?" Zhao Tabi Buddha was taken aback, and hurriedly helped him up, but he smiled secretly in his heart, such a big credit is smashed to you, look at how you are, this is like giving gifts to those in power now, not afraid that you will not do it, you feel embarrassed not to do it with money, and you have to rush up and down, and everyone will become 'their own people'!
"Yes, all of us who are courtiers should be loyal to the country and the king, and the lower officials will do their best to send Shaanxi elite soldiers to help the prince achieve this great achievement!" Tong Guan wiped away two tears from the corners of his eyes and said.
"The Tai Lieutenant is a great merit of my two armies in the northwest, Hedong and Shaanxi, and it also makes those guys in the DPRK and China know the power of the Western Army!" Zhao Ta held Tong Guan's hands and said excitedly.
Next, the two further discussed in detail the dispatch of troops, liaison, logistics support, division of theaters and so on between the two armies, and finally agreed that Tong Guan was responsible for reporting to the DPRK and China in Lanzhou, in charge of the supply of the armies, dispatching officials, and managing civil affairs, while Zhao Ta was in charge of the military, and after the two armies joined forces, he led the two armies to attack Lingzhou and decide on military affairs.
After talking about the big thing, the two had lunch together, until the lamp was in hand, Tong Guan was satisfied with eating, happy to drink, and the quality of the dishes was secondary, the main prince was too affectionate, just for a little favor back then, he repaid him with such a big gift, so that Tong Guan, a scheming and thoughtful guy who had seen countless gifts, felt uneasy.
"Has the prince ever thought about the aftermath of the war?" Tong Guan and Zhao Ta finished eating, and felt that the aftermath was still gone, and the two talked at night with candles, he took a sip of tea and said.
"I told Taiwei that this king just wants to be a free prince, he doesn't want to take care of the world, he just wants to go back to Xiangyi to farm there, do some small business, and be an idler. Zhao Ta listened to Tong Guan speak with his tongue open, and knew that this old guy had drunk too much, and now he wanted to say something to himself!
"Alas, my lord, I'm afraid that after this achievement, you will never have peace, that is, you want to go into hiding, can those people rest assured?" Tong Guan said with a snort of wine.
"I don't ask about the affairs of the DPRK and China, they are not at ease, what should they do, imprison me?" Zhao Ta said with a chuckle, he also knew in his heart that if he relinquished power, it might be good to get this fate.
"Almost, they know that the prince of Lu Dao has such a ability, how can they rest assured, they will definitely find ways to trap your hands and feet, confined in the capital, and can only be trapped in the palace for the rest of your life!" Tong Guan said leisurely, he seemed to have drunk too much, but in fact, he understood very well in his heart, this King Yan had long been favored by the emperor, and now even if someone wants to move, he has to see the emperor's face first, at this time he is fledgling, those people in the court are 'short-sighted', and they can't see the benefits. …,
"What do I mean by the aether captain?" Zhao Ta shook the teacup in his hand with his hand, and the water spun up quickly, forming a whirlpool.
"After this incident, we must not retreat, but continue to be in charge of the party, make friends with important ministers, and lay a foundation in order to have the power of self-protection!" Tong Guan leaned over and whispered in Zhao Ta's ear.
"Hehe, Taiwei drank too much, as a prince, it is a special case for me to be able to govern Hedong, I'm afraid that if Taiwei leaves, I will also leave, what else to talk about in charge of the government, it is a big crime to make friends with important ministers, and the emperor will not let me go!" Zhao Ta smiled and gave Tong Guan a look that everyone understands.
"Lord Wang, is it man-made!" Tong Guan didn't seem to understand, shook his hand and said, "I am an internal servant, how can I govern the northwest twice, for more than ten years before and after, but others can't, this is not just because I can lead the army and lead the generals, there are a lot of truths, if the prince wants to stay in the northwest, I can help the prince plan!" ”
"Oh, Captain, tell me!" Zhao Ta became a good student again and poured tea for Tong Guan with his own hands.
"It's very simple, the first thing is to know what Emperor Lu Dao likes; Second, you need to know what you need to do! Tong Guan was very satisfied with the current relationship between the two, and said with a smile, "The northwest needs us nothing more than military affairs, if this battle is successful, the Western Xia is basically decided, he can't set off any storms, and Hedong and Henan are still next to the Great Liao, once the two countries go to war, this is located in the place where the soldiers must fight, and it is indispensable for the important ministers to guard, and now the people in the court are proficient in military affairs except you and me, as long as the war is together, the prince will definitely be retained, so..."
"Therefore, we must recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and complete the unfinished ambition of Taizu and Taizong!" Zhao said.
"By the way, as long as the Liao incident starts, the opportunity for the prince will come, at that time, the wind will be windy, the rain will be rainy, and the army will be on the side, who will dare to be disrespectful to the prince!" Tong Guan said.
"......" Zhao Ta didn't know what Lu Dao said, if it was really a troubled time, it would be good to support the army and divide the country, but now it is not feasible, Tong Guan's suggestion has to be carefully considered, but if he is man-made, it is good, there will always be a way.
