The seventh year of Tiance is a very interesting and strange year for Han Deshu.

Not long ago, he was ordered by Zhang Mai to go north to lurk in the Khitan, with the task of collecting Khitan intelligence and plotting against the Han army within the Khitan.

But soon, he was appointed by Yelu Deguang again, and asked him to go south to Luoyang as an envoy to report the news of the founding of the Great Liao. Of course, this is only a superficial mission, and its real secret mission is not here. The task given to him by the Khitan was naturally to deal with Tiance.

————————

The city of Luoyang is almost the most prosperous place in the entire Central Plains. Why add almost two words? Because it's been so dilapidated in the last few decades.

Now, of course, it is impossible to compare with the eastern capital in the heyday of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and after several wars, it is constantly dilapidated, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and in the case that Chang'an has been in full decline and Bianliang has not yet caught up, Luoyang still barely retains his status as the world's largest metropolis.

But when Han Deshu entered Luoyang this time, what he saw was a lifeless scene.

In the Battle of Guanzhong last year, Shi Jin's army actually did not suffer a major setback, but the final outcome was undefeated and defeated. When the news of Zhang Maiqi's attack on Mobei came to the victory, Guanzhong's morale immediately fluctuated, and the core of Shi Jingjiao's family, the Hedong Army, also became unstable.

Hedong was the most important area in the struggle for the world of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Li Tang relied on it, Shi Jingjiao relied on it, and later Liu Zhiyuan also relied on it. Since the end of the Sui Dynasty for 400 years, the Hedong region has produced many elite soldiers and famous generals, and because of its proximity to the east and west capitals, once the secession regime occupies Hedong, it can suppress Heluo in the south to get a glimpse of the world, and at the same time, because of the proximity to Beihu. Therefore, the Hedong Army was often the first front line against Hulu.

In this experience, the Hedong soldiers had a natural pride, believing that they were the only troops in the entire Central Plains who could fight with the Khitan without being inferior, and their attitude towards the Khitan leather room was different from that of other regions in the Central Plains, not pure fear, but resistance and competition. Due to the inevitable hatred of hundreds of years of fighting, most of the people in the Hedong army either had relatives and family members who had died at the hands of Hu'er, or friends had died in the war against the Khitan.

Therefore, Zhang Mai was able to defeat the Khitan head-on, and he had already been recognized by the lower-level generals of the Hedong Army, and although it was a hostile camp, it still convinced these Qiu Ba! A soldier who can fight the Khitan is a good soldier, and a general who can defeat the Khitan is even better a general, as for the Mobei surprise attack. It has greatly increased the hopes of Zhang Mai, and the rumor that "Zhang's is the true son of heaven" has spread throughout the northwest region, and there is also a market within the Hedong Army.

Shi Jingjiao, who started in the army, is actually not completely ignorant of these, and it is precisely because he knows that this child emperor is even more lost. The cession of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun has made Shi Jingjiao's reputation among Shilin so bad that it cannot be reversed, and he will lose the heart of the Hedong army. The psychological blow to Shi Jingjiao can be imagined. For several months after the war in Guanzhong, Zhang Mai was thinking hard about making further progress. Yelu Deguang is lying on his salary and tasting his courage, Meng Chang is covering his ears and stealing the bell and is drunk and dreaming of death, but Shi Jingjiao is giving up on himself.

Since Guanzhong returned to Luoyang, the emperor of the Shi Jin Dynasty often fell into a semi-psychotic state of sudden irritability and rage, and suddenly depressed, and the civil and military ministers under him either took advantage of the chaos to promote official wealth. Either the rats at both ends are interested in the west, and the monarchs and ministers are like this, and the atmosphere of the whole Luoyang can be imagined, spreading to the market, and the business atmosphere is also greatly affected. This is the origin of Han Deshu's "lifeless" feeling.

Fortunately, there is also Feng Daozai, who still has the ability to unify the civil and official system of the Shijin Dynasty in such a situation, which maintains the basic order of the Central Plains officialdom and the Luoyang market. On the Guanzhong side, Liu Zhiyuan also rectified military affairs and ensured the safety of the northwest border.

This article and martial arts are the most important cornerstone for maintaining the Shi Jin regime from collapsing.

However, are Feng Dao and Liu Zhiyuan's hearts still in Shi Jingjiao's place?

God knows!

————————

Sang Weihan was one of the important ministers in the Manchu Dynasty, who was still loyal to Shi Jingjiao and hoped that this dynasty could continue as much as possible. He put so much effort into it because he had no way out - Shilin hated Shi Jingjiao's betrayal of Yanyun Land, and the direct operator of this matter was him Sang Weihan, now Shi Jingjiao is still there, Shilin is not good at what to do with him, once the Shi Jin Dynasty falls, Zhang Mai, who has been exalting national righteousness all the way, how can he give him good fruits to eat in the public opinion of Shilin shouting and shouting to kill?

Therefore, Sang Weihan's allegiance to Shi Jingjiao is actually saving himself. He didn't have a choice.

————————

Last year, the three families surrounded Tiance, the original intention was to suppress Zhang Mai, and now the three still have a joint political foundation, but the offensive and defensive momentum has changed, and the three join forces, which is bound to become a common defense against Zhang Mai. In Sang Weihan's view, after the loss of Qinxi, the Guanzhong region, which has no strategic defense geography, will be closed sooner or later, which is a difficult thing to reverse, but if you can abandon Guanzhong and hold the Yellow River and the first line of Kunshan, and build a concave defense line to the west by the Khitan, Shi Jin, and Meng Shu in Yinshan, the Yellow River, and the Qinling Mountains, as long as the first few rounds of Tiance offensives are blocked, then the next thing will enter a state of tug-of-war, and the Shi Jin regime will be able to keep the Central Plains, and may be able to form the Eastern Wei and Western Wei during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The state of partition of the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi dynasties, and he Sang Weihan is enough to keep his wealth and wealth for a lifetime.

If it weren't for Shi Jingjiao being in a state of semi-madness, Sang Weihan would have promoted this diplomatic plan a long time ago. Last year, Yelu Deguang's sudden return to the north made Sang Weihan extremely disappointed, and when he saw Han Deshu coming to Luoyang again, he seemed to see a ray of light in his heart.

————————

After Han Deshu met Shi Jingjiao and handed over his credentials, Shi Jingjiao did not invite him to talk in detail, if Han Deshu came completely as a Khitan envoy, he would be extremely disappointed about this, but now there is an envoy who does secret work for Zhang Mai, so that he can look at the problem from a more serious perspective.

"Shi Jin really can't be relied on."

It was Sang Weihan who invited him to the mansion - Sang Weihan is now the deputy envoy of the privy council, the deputy minister who holds great power, and he should have avoided suspicion with the Khitan envoy in his capacity, but in the current situation, he ignored these criticisms, and Shi Jingjiao knew. I probably won't bother with it.

Walk into the Mulberry Mansion, the banquet is set in the back garden that covers an area of more than 20 acres, divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, in the Luoyang boundary, it is rare to have such a large garden in the mansion, as for the garden is full of strange flowers in the four seasons, strange stones in the southeast and the sculptures of the Western Regions purchased through guò trade are even more difficult to count, if you think of money. The whole garden can be said to be every inch of gold, with thirty-six young maids in a row, holding twelve types of wine, twelve types of delicacies, and twelve types of snacks, kneeling forward and serving, such luxury, such pomp, can resurrect Zheng Wei and Xue, who are the most particular about life style within the Tiance regime, to death in shame!

Han Deshu had just come from western Qin, and he saw with his own eyes what kind of simple conditions Zhang Mai lived in, and the Tiance Tang army exchanged all the spoils of war for civilian goods. Invested in post-war recovery production. And on the side of the Shi Jin regime, Sang Weihan, who is the most attentive to the country, does not forget to make money in chaos, Han Deshu secretly thought, if he can only make a choice between Tiance and Shi Jin, he will definitely choose the former without hesitation.

————————

After sitting down, I enjoyed a song and dance, and drank so much that my face was hot. Only then did Sang Weihan retreat and approach Han Deshu. said: "Master Han, what do you think of my Luoyang prosperity?" ”

Han Deshu said with a smile: "Luoyang has been prosperous since ancient times, and our Khitan desert grassland is a barren land, although the country is strong, it is far less prosperous. ”

Sang Weihan was overjoyed to hear this, and he sent several envoys to the Khitan. cowered like a dog in front of the Khitan monarchs and ministers, and this time in front of Han Deshu, it would also mean to regain face.

Han Deshu said again: "Especially Sang Xiang, it reminds me of a Tang poem. ”

Since Tiance, Tang Jun loves Tang poems, and even before the battle, he used Tang poems to boost morale. As far as the influence reached, the Central Plains Shilin's pursuit of the poems of the former Tang Dynasty set off another upsurge. And Tang poems have a brave and masculine temperament, Sang Weihan was scolded by Shilin as a "female villain" and was used to it, listening to Han Deshu want to use Tang poems as a metaphor, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked: "I don't know which one does Master Han remember?" ”

Han Deshu groaned: "The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, and the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai. The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river. ”

Sang Weihan's face suddenly became as if it was smeared with pig's blood!

He Sang Weihan betrayed the country to seek glory, and he has always been unpopular in public opinion, not only in the Central Plains, but also on the Khitan side, the Khitan people also despise him, not only the Khitan people despise him, but also Han Deshu, who is a Han and a lackey, even dares to directly ridicule himself in his own mansion! The high position of the privy deputy is worthless at this moment!

But Sang Weihan can't be angry yet! The lackey was the first time, and then he didn't want to straighten his waist again, and he had to laugh when he was abused, although the smile had turned into a bitter smile, and he quickly sighed along the words: "The danger of the country, not only the country, but the danger of Linhuang Mansion is not under my Luoyang, and I look at the marshal in the west, it seems that the spearhead is aimed at the Khitan first...... Well, aim for Da Liao first! ”

Han Deshu said: "What is the Emperor of the Great Jin going to do?" Sit back and watch the heavenly strategy destroy my Great Liao, and then take the power of the great victory to pass on the Central Plains? ”

Sang Weihan's face became gloomy, knowing that Han Deshu's sentence "Passing on the Central Plains" was not empty words. Originally, "depending on the legend" has always been the nonsense that scholars take for granted, but if Zhang Mai really destroys the Khitan, with his current popularity and military prestige, coupled with the trend of the people's hearts in the Central Plains, the Central Plains may really be realized! Don't you see that Shi Jin now has no will to resist and no soldiers have the heart to fight?

Han Deshu said: "Last year, Yang Yiqi attacked Mobei, and our army had to temporarily return to the emergency, and now the war situation in the north has been stabilized. ”

Sang Weihan said: "What is the situation over there in Mobei, please give me a real news!" ”

When he arrived here, Han Deshu's heart suddenly became entangled!

He now has two identities, one is the envoy of Da Liao, who is responsible for urging Shi Jin to join the anti-Tiance united front. At the same time, he accepted Zhang Mai's secret order, lurked in the Liao State, and plotted against the Han people in Liao. At this time, if he is committed to Tiance, he can forget Yeluwu's advice and intimidate Sang Weihan for a while, if Sang Weihan completely loses hope in the Liao and Jin countries, he may be forced to fall to Tiance in despair.

However, letting Zhang Mai win too easily was not in the best interests of his Han family, as well as his Han Deshu himself. At that time, only people like Yang Yi, Xue Fu, Shi Ba, and Zheng Wei were able to get absolute benefits in the new regime, and latecomers like Han Deshu were already glad that they did not die, and they were overjoyed to be able to share some soup and water. On the contrary, if all parties are fighting, Han Deshu, who has a few boats on his feet, can get the most benefit in the triangle, because all sides need him.

Han Deshu groaned for a while. still said: "The shape of Mobei, the victory or defeat is difficult to know, but it depends on the attitude of Dajin." If you can send troops to Guanzhong, or cross the Yellow River from Hedong, display troops in the west of Hexi, and contain Zhang Mai's offensive. Let my Da Liao concentrate his forces against Yang Yi, then my Da Liao's chances of victory will be extremely high. Once Yang Yi is defeated and Mobei is recovered, the Tiance Tang army is bound to lose its elite! At that time, although my Da Liao was able to recover Mobei, and the Great Jin Dynasty could recover Guanzhong, and even annexed Hexi in one go, it was not known! ”

Sang Weihan's heart moved when he heard this! That's right, although the current situation is difficult, Han Deshu's statement is not untrue. In fact, in the battle of Guanzhong last year, Tiance did his best. It took a heavy price to achieve a partial unstable victory in the early stage, and even under such circumstances, if there was a stalemate for a while, most of the Liao-Jin coalition forces could win in the end. The reason for the current predicament is that Mobei was attacked, and the Khitan temporarily pulled its feet, which led to the breakthrough of the entire Liao-Jin coalition army.

And now the shape is different, if the Liao army can really win in Mobei. The blow to the morale of the Tiance Tang Army can be imagined, and now it has lost the powerful combat power of the Longyou Tiance Army. Can it really withstand another round of attacks from the Liao-Jin coalition?

All of a sudden, Sang Weihan seemed to have received great expectations and sank into a kind of dream-like strategic conception. But soon, he woke up from his dream, returned to reality, and sighed: "It's not that we don't want to send troops. It is really that the Central Plains has experienced repeated wars, and now the soldiers are exhausted. Otherwise, we would not have hastily withdrawn our troops last winter. This year, Guanzhong is in the first year after the war, and I am afraid that there will be a small famine, and I cannot afford any war with local food. The harvests in Hedong and Henan are not good, and there is not enough surplus grain to be exported to Hexi. It is necessary to transport grain and grass from Shandong and Hebei. That...... Thousands of miles of grain will consume the country's capital! ”

Han Deshu said: "Then Shi Jin really plans to sit back and watch the two tigers of Daliao and Tiance fight?" He sneered: "Now if your country tightens its belt and does its best, you can still fight westward." But if you wait for my Da Liao and Tiance to decide the winner, in case my Da Liao is destroyed, as the so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and your country wants to destroy the family and win, I'm afraid it will be too late! ”

"Destroy the family to win"!

The word rippled through Sang Weihan's head.

This is indeed a choice, if the greatest determination is made, the Shi Jin regime can still squeeze extremely large manpower and material resources from the Central Plains, which is determined by the depth of China, but the consequences of this will be unpredictable. Even if it can really win in the end, it will be a crushing victory for the Shi Jin regime, and it will greatly hurt the national fortune and vitality of the Central Plains, and even drag the entire northern China into a catastrophe from which it will never recover.

However, what does the vitality of the Central Plains and the catastrophe of China have to do with him? Saving your life, keeping your wealth, and keeping your future is the most important thing!

————————

Destroy the family to win.

If Zhang Mai hears this word, he will definitely feel the same way, but Han Deshu is talking about a kind of strategic planning that has not yet been carried out, while Zhang Mai has put things into practice in the past two years.

In order to gain a strategic advantage over the Khitan, the Tiance Tang army paid a heavy price, and although the current strategic form is advancing smoothly, Zhang Mai has a deep sense of guilt for Xi Sheng's death and the heavy damage to the Modao and Tomahawk Formation. The number of people who really died in the Modao Battle Axe Formation can only be regarded as a small war, but the influence of this iron army on the battle situation is not something that its number can describe.

Now, Mobei's situation last winter has arrived in Qinzhou, and Zhang Mai, who knows Shi Ba's physical condition, has a sharp pain in his heart. My favorite little stone is so wasted! Although Xiao Shi's letters to him were still full of optimism and laughter, Zhang Mai could not shake off the guilt for him.

"Is that really the right thing to do? Is it really worth exchanging one's life for national fortune? ”

But soon Zhang Mai suppressed this thought and told him that he couldn't shake it! The dream of restoring the glory of the Tang Dynasty does not belong to him Zhang Mai alone, but to all the old Anxi troops who have gone all the way east, to all the remnants of the old Tang Dynasty who have attached themselves to the Tiance regime, and even to the whole of China!

This is not his ideal alone, but the ideal of a country! Even the dead Xi Sheng, as well as the soldiers of the Modao Battle Axe Formation under his command, are not fighting for loyalty to Zhang Mai, if he can come back to life, Xi Sheng will not regret his death, and even he will condemn Zhang Mai's vacillation!

"I have to go on firmly. For the sake of the comrades who have died! ”

The great victory has seen hope, the great revival has seen the dawn, and at this moment you must be strong!

————————

The new army was called up last winter, and the number was not large, the main force was less than 4,000 people in total, but it was selected from all parts of the western Qin and all the armies. All of them are strong, simple-minded and energetic, and from their eyes full of essence, Zhang Mai can see the strong vitality and desire for victory and war of these young men.

These people, together with the remaining soldiers of the Modao Battle Axe Formation, constitute a new Modao Battle Axe New Army!

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, even now, even in the time and space when Zhang Mai came to the Song Dynasty, Guanxi has always been one of the best sources of soldiers in China. At present, the original military horses in western Qin have low combat effectiveness. It was destroyed by the original military system, and it was not difficult to select four thousand soldiers with the potential of Modao and battle axes from the ten states of western Qin, and even doubling the number of soldiers may not be impossible.

However, Zhang Mai did not expand excessively in numbers, and the current size of the new army is just within the scope of the current financial burden of the Tiance regime.

Unlike Sang Weihan, who even did not hesitate to destroy his family for the sake of victory, Zhang Mai is now doing everything possible to restore the vitality of the territory under his jurisdiction. The initial build-up of this new type of force was modest. The military salary of this unit is not high, but in order to meet the needs of training and recuperation. This troop meal has meat! In the Longyou region, where animal husbandry has been very advanced, the cost of this is much lower than that of the Central Plains. But it is this that already gives this new army a strong appeal. What's more, many young men are here for fame.

As for weapons, the old stocks of the Tiance Tang Army were able to meet the needs of training and low-intensity combat. The armor is not yet there, and the costume is an old military robe—but it doesn't matter, look, Marshal Long Xiang Zhang, who has been living in the barracks since mid-January. He wore the same clothes, ate the same things, and even took a break from government affairs every three days to devote himself to the same training!

Whether it was Da Liao, Shi Jin or Meng Shu, did the leaders of that regime do this? As soon as he saw Zhang Mai, no matter how tired the soldier was, he would immediately be full of strength, not to mention Liu Heihu!

————————

In last year's war, Liu Heihu was crippled. But unlike the crippled and crippled Shi Ba, Liu Heihu was crippled but not crippled, after a winter, he miraculously regained his mobility, perhaps Xi Sheng's martial spirit possessed his body, he stepped up his recovery training after he was able to move, and soon obtained the combat ability to freely carry the Mo Dao with his crippled body, and received Zhang Mai's authorization to reorganize the Mo Dao Battle Axe Array.

No one in the whole army, from the general to the soldiers, will look down on this disabled one-eyed, severed-fingered, lame adjutant general, on the contrary, they will only have double respect for him.

In order to commemorate Xi Sheng, Zhang Mai ordered that the new Modao Battle Axe Formation, without a regular general, will be received by Zhang Mai personally, he claims to be the second General of the Mo Knife Tomahawk Formation, and Xi Sheng is the one - it is conceivable that this is a kind of admiration for Xi Sheng, even the Duke and Lord, there is no such glory!

The daily training and combat leadership of the Modao Battle Axe Formation was in charge of Liu Heihu. In the future, the size of this team will not increase, but there will be three auxiliary combat units: a light cavalry on the left, a cavalry archer on the right, a long-range shooting unit in the rear, and a spearmen as temporary field substitutes, all to form a new combat group.

The three peripheral forces have not yet been built - these three teams are quite quick to form for the current Tiance Tang Army, as long as the funds are in place, the light cavalry can be selected from each team, the cavalry archers can be used in a variety of ways, and the long-range shooting troops are the strength of the Tiance Tang Army.

Once the formation is completed, it will be a new army composed of Tiance veterans as the backbone and Guanzhong nationality as the main soldiers.

For now, it is to strengthen the training of the Xinmo Sword and Tomahawk Formation. This is the most important task in the current work of building up the new army.

————————

And at this moment, an important news came from the northeast: Da Liao extended an olive branch to Tiance, hoping that the two sides would temporarily extinguish the beacon fire, and in order to show sincerity, Yelu Deguang was even willing to give up Yunzhou and share Shi Jin with Zhang Mai!

————————

Xue Fu had already anticipated Zhang Mai's reaction before he took out the letter to Zhang.

Even when Yelu Wuzhi had just said that mention, he had already expected Zhang Mai's reaction!

He laughed out loud because he thought it was ridiculous. The commander behind him, who regarded the honor of the Han Dynasty as more important than his life, how could he agree to the so-called "equal division of the Central Plains?" ”

Xue Fu didn't even have to think about it to know Zhang Mai's thoughts.

This arrogant modern man - although Xue Fu didn't know that Zhang Mai was a modern person, he always intuitively felt that Zhang Mai seemed to be from outside the world and did not belong to this world - his views on this world were always so rampant that his comrades were surprised and the enemy trembled!

"Central Plains, it's ours!"

"The Western Regions are ours!"

"Mo Nan, it's ours!"

"Mobei, it's ours!"

"The Northeast, too, is ours!"

"The Goryeo Peninsula and the Dongwa Islands are all ours!"

"Ours, it's ours!"

"Yours is ours too!"

————————

With such a leader standing behind him, the strategic direction of the Tiance Tang Army has become extremely simple, extremely rude, and extremely clear, how can a leader who even regards the Western Regions and Mobei and the Northeast Overseas as something in his pocket agree to the so-called idea of "dividing the Central Plains equally"? Don't say that it is a foreign race, even if it is a secession regime in the Central Plains, the Tiance Tang Army has never had such a plan!

Therefore, when Yelu Wuzhi stretched out an olive branch on behalf of Da Liao, Xue Fu laughed out loud like that, laughing so that Yelu Wuzhi was a little angry and a little uneasy.

However, behind the arrogant strategic goals, Tiance Datang's methods are flexible, sometimes almost shameless.

Xue Fu's eyes flashed in laughter, and he said, "The Khitan wants to divide the Central Plains with us equally?" Do you still have the strength? ”

Although the Great Liao was founded, Xue Fu called them very casually, and they could be called whatever they wanted.

"A hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, let alone a country of ten thousand times!" Yeluwu said: "I still have 500,000 people in Daliao now, and I haven't lost it at all, once the storm rises, it is unknown to sweep the world!" ”

Xue Fu smiled: "Isn't the Khitan controlling millions? Where did the other half a million go? Ah, yes, you ran to the Eagle Flyer, right? ”

Yelu Wuzhi's face suddenly became very ugly, but he still held back, the current Da Liao is not the Khitan of the past, and as an envoy, he naturally has realization. When you go to Luoyang, you can intimidate and threaten, but when you go to Tiance Tang Jun, you don't have such confidence.

"General Xue seems that there is absolutely no sincerity in negotiation, so why do you want to meet me?"

Xue Fu retracted his smile and said, "It's not that you don't want to talk, it's just that the conditions you offer are too ridiculous!" Even if we want to take the Central Plains, we don't have to share it with your Khitan. ”

"What does General Xue mean?"

"Exit Yanyun. Horses are not allowed to stay within the Great Wall! Xue Fu said leisurely: "This is the bottom line!" If we agree to this, it's not too late for us to talk about peace! ”

Yeluya's gaze shrank abruptly. He remembered Han Yanhui's words before, which were very similar to what Xue Fu said, but the direction was completely different.

————————

"Give up Yanyun, withdraw from the Great Wall, and return the sixteen states in full!"
