Chapter 192: Two-Faced Man

Han Qixian's two 'possibilities' triggered endless arguments between Zongben and Zonggan, Zongben meant that without discovering the intentions of the Song army, he could not mobilize the reinforcements of Liaodong and Jingshi without authorization, so as not to stage another stage of the Song army to take advantage of the situation to land in Liaodong and join forces with the Ashu rebels to threaten Jingshi. Zonggan's tendency was to lose Nanjing, the purpose of the Song army was to capture Yanjing, and it was supposed to send reinforcements, and the Song Dynasty naval army on the coast was just a feint to contain the soldiers and horses of Liaodong.

After listening to it for a while, everyone understood that it was a difference in the judgment of the two people on the purpose of the Song army's campaign, but rather a struggle for morale and power. Zong Ben was actually inclined to the Song army's goal in Yanjing, but he had long been wary of the increasingly domineering attitude of Wushu and the threat to his position. Since the Southern Dynasty dared to attack Yanjing, it must be prepared, and even if Wushu wins, it will be a miserable victory, which can just weaken its strength; If he is defeated, he will send troops to reinforce him, and then he will lose the city and land, and he will not be able to escape the law. In short, regardless of victory or defeat, it will be a heavy blow to the Taizu family.

Zong Gan's meaning is just the opposite, the strength of the army that has lost the Wushu Aguda system will be greatly weakened, so it will be unpredictable who will fall into the hands of Wu begging to return to heaven in the future. He thought that Wushu did not send people to ask for reinforcements, it must be that this battle was still within its bearing, and he did not need the assistance of the imperial court for the time being, but he secretly blamed Wushu in his heart that he was young in the end, and he only wanted to defeat the Song army by himself, but he forgot that this was a good time to ask the court for money and people, so he, who was the elder brother, wanted to win this cup of soup for him.

"The two princes should stop fighting, no matter how deep the Southern Korean naval army in Liaodong is, it is a threat, and it is necessary to repel them. Prevent them from converging with Ah Shu, and at the same time reorganize the troops and horses, once Nanjing is lost, you can quickly send troops to support the right way! The more the two of them talked, the more excited they became. The old things have been turned over, and it is unseemly to slap the table and fall on the bench. Han Qi frowned first and interrupted their argument and said.

"Yes, yes, the two princes are loyal to the country, don't fight for these things, what Han Xiang said is good, we must first prepare for the enemy, and then discuss whether to send reinforcements after discovering the situation, do you think it is appropriate for the national teacher?" Zong Han also hurriedly played the round field.

But Zong Han felt a little sorry for Han Qi to interrupt the quarrel between the two first, and the more they fought, the more beneficial it was to consolidate their position. Listen to the two of them. Zong Ben and Zong Gan sat down angrily, but their eyes were on Yuwen Xuzhong, who was sitting there without saying a word, obviously caring very much about his opinion on this matter. Yuwen Xuzhong is actually not simple, he is a great Song Jinshi, tired officials to the senior government hall scholars to participate in state affairs, can get the reuse of the Jin State seems to be a smooth chapter...

During the Xuanhe period, after a long period of peace, Tong Guan and others started to make trouble again, and Yuwen knew that the Song Dynasty would have the scourge of self-immolation. So he wrote a proposal, but none of them were adopted. The first time the Jin army invaded Bian, he suggested that Zhao Ji issue an edict to enable Zhao Huan to ascend the throne. Since then, Yuwen has been exhausted. made a plan, personally entered the Jin camp and was inseparable from Han, and finally the Jin army retreated. Afterwards. Zhao Huan thought that Yuwen was meritorious and appointed him as a member of the Privy Council. but was impeached by the officials. said that he negotiated peace and misled the country, and the emperor demoted him to Qingzhou. and Shaozhou.

When the Jin army went south three times, the emperor sought an envoy from the Jin state, and Yuwen Xuzhong resolutely responded to the edict. It is said that 'red face is bad water', it is not a good thing for a man to be beautiful, Yuwen Xuzhong is dignified, and Zong Han took a fancy to 'stay' in the camp, and then followed Emperor Jing Kang to the north to enter the gold.

At this time, the Jin State occupied a large number of Liao and Song regions, and the main inhabitants of these areas were Han Chinese, so a large number of Han officials were needed. Moreover, the reform of the state system is underway within the country, and there is a need for professionals in this field. Yu Wenxu is talented, and the words are very beautiful. He was proficient in poetry and songs, and served as a high-ranking official in the Song Dynasty, and soon attracted attention, and was promoted and reused, and he accepted the appointment very happily.

Yuwen Xuzhong started from the bachelor of Hanlin, and the official became bigger and bigger, and later he was appointed as the governor and Taichangqing, and was named the founding prince of Hanoi County. Later, Jin Guoguo Jin Taizu's "Ruide Shengong Tablet" was written by him, so he was named the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the word, the Jin people called him "the national teacher", and often asked him to participate in every major event.

"Now you are all inclined to prepare for war, but you don't know what is going on in front of you, are we going to mobilize a thousand, two thousand, or ten thousand, twenty thousand troops?" Yuwen put down the teacup and raised his eyes and asked, feeling full of emotion in his heart, he was a disliked person in the Great Song Dynasty, but the enemy country respected him.

"What does Woobun-sama mean?" Han Qi asked puzzled.

"Oh, Prime Minister Han, if you only send a thousand people, why do you need to discuss, if you want to mobilize the army, you have to think carefully, raising 10,000 soldiers, the daily consumption of money, the cost is huge. Now the Southern Dynasty has closed the market and banned trading. They have been harassing the borders for many years, and they have also intimidated the countries to rob the missions, causing us to lose huge amounts of tribute, reduce taxes day by day, and empty the treasury. If Nanjing is enough to deal with the current invasion of the Song army, won't we waste money and food, increase consumption in vain, and the conscripts will have grievances! Yuwen said in a false manner.

"National teacher, if something really happens in Nanjing, will we make a mistake if we gather troops to go there again?" Zong Gan thought about it, now that the finances are in difficulty, the people are in difficulty, and it is the time when they need to recuperate, but they still asked uneasily, but his tone was much more gentle.

"Hehe, is Zuo Xiang too self-deprecating, I think I have more than 100,000 male soldiers in Nanjing, and there are two princes of Wushu and Zongfu to guard it, the Song army is powerful, and it will not kill everyone, and even send a letter can't be sent!" Yuwen said with a slight joke.

"Hehe, too!" Zong Gan blushed and said with an embarrassed smile, counting that the Song army has been landing for more than ten days, if something happens, the messenger sent has also climbed there, and he is concerned about it.

"That being said, we can't be unguarded, the Southern Dynasty is drilling into our weak coastal defense, bullying us without a naval army to dare to ravage the Liaodong Sea, if it really has a large-scale landing and disturbs the holy car, it will not be good!" Yu Wenxu said again.

"What Lord Yuwen said is extremely true, now the state affairs are difficult, and the war has been going on for many years, the people are thinking about it, the soldiers are thinking about returning, and it is afraid that raising a military incident will cause a civil uprising!" Han Qixian also said.

"Well, the two adults have good words, the situation is not clear, and the army must not be tampered with. A decision should be made only after the intention of the Southern Dynasties is discovered. But Zhao Er is cunning and does things beyond ordinary people's expectations. If you have to take precautions, you should also be prepared! Zong Han nodded and said, agreeing with Yuwen Xuzhong's statement.

Zong Han knew very well that the imperial court was now reusing Han officials and Liao ministers, and Han Qixian and Yuwen Xuzhong were of noble status, and their opinions would definitely affect the courtiers. Moreover, this kind of public opinion can easily resonate with those literati in the imperial court who do not like to fight, or Jurchen generals who want to live a stable life. Civil officials like peace, and the generals have been fighting for so many years, and they all feel that they have robbed enough, and it is time to rest and rest, and they are not willing to fight.

If the situation is not clear, move in a big way. It will definitely arouse the opposition of the ministers. Now that Zonggan is no longer making trouble, Zongben's purpose has been achieved, Zong Han has been a good man and cannot be offended, so he has set a tune, found out the situation in the two places, and the intention of the Song army, and at the same time rectified the soldiers and horses to prevent changes, and suddenly lowered from the first-level combat readiness to the third-level combat readiness...

………

Now Zhao Yong's troops have conquered Zhuozhou and advanced to Liangxiang, and it only takes one day to march to Yanjing City; Zhao Lianbu also broke through the Jin army's obstruction day and night to reach the Sunhou Pavilion, and only needed to get up early and work overtime in Yanjing. But their target, the army of the Wushu Institute, was chasing the hunting cavalry outside Ruzhou. It is three hundred miles away from Yanjing, and there are mostly mountain roads over there, so it is impossible for the army to rush back without seven or eight days.

It is said that this is the best time for Zhao Yong and Zhao Lian to join forces to capture Yanjing City, but the problem is that once Wushu learns that Pingzhou and Yanjing have all been lost. Will you ever come back? In fact, everyone knows the answer, as long as this person is not a psychopath, I believe that no one will come back to find death, and he will definitely run away. But this answer also put Zhao Ta in a dilemma.

If you let it go, let Zhao Yan implement his plan to lure the enemy deep. Zhao Ta believed that he could annihilate a part of the vultures, but he couldn't believe that he could completely annihilate his department. This guy is not stupid. When he knew that Nanjing and Yanjing were lost, he would never be stupid enough to attack Datong again, but would turn around and flee to the Zhongjing area to preserve his strength. If you meet the reinforcements outside the customs and make plans again, Zhao Yan will be able to catch his tail!

How to annihilate the Wushu Department has become a problem that Zhao Ta urgently needs to solve, if he lets him go this time, I don't know what day Lu Dao will have to wait for next time. The only way to transfer the Wushu back now is to let Zhao Yan's troops give up the plan to lure the enemy deeper, and besiege Yanjing without attacking, let the Wushu lead the troops back to help, and after he passed the Juyong Pass, Zhao Yan closed the pass and blocked him in the Yanjing area. Then the two armies of Zhao Yong and Zhao Lian concentrated their forces to capture Yanjing City, and then turned around to deal with the homeless Wushu.

The plan is good, but Zhao Ta knows that he doesn't have much time, and he believes that the Jin army outside the gate will soon know the news of the Song army in Yingzhou, and he will not sit idly by. The cold has arrived, the coast will freeze, and Cheng Xishou's sailors are equipped with wooden boats, and even thin ice will cause damage to the ships. As soon as they withdrew, they lost their role in attracting the main force of the Jin army outside the Guan, so that they could let go of their hands to reinforce Yanjing City in the Guannei, so the Song army in the Guannei could only turn to resist the Jin army outside the Guan, so that they had no time to draw troops to deal with the Wushu.

"Ten days, as long as you give me another ten days to catch the vultures..."This was the least amount of time Zhao Ta needed after calculation, and he walked around the hall, muttering about how to win these ten days.

"Your Majesty, the letter from the Hong Yan transferred by the Intelligence Department!" Just as the emperor was circling around the palace, Qing Yang hurriedly came in and reported.

"Oh, give it to me!" Zhao Ta took two steps forward and impatiently snatched the two pages in Qing Yang's hand, took out a white paper from the desk, and deciphered the secret letter sent by Qing Yang by himself. Wang Fu, who was standing beside the emperor, lit a candle and stepped aside, and Qing Yang also took a few steps back when he saw this, confirming that he could not read the words on the desk before he decided.

There are several codes in the Qingyang Zhidao Intelligence Department that are used to transmit information, and as a close person of the emperor, he also has a code book, which is used to decipher the information transmitted between the army and the intelligence department. However, the information transferred from the Intelligence Department today, he translated it for a long time, and only a few codes on the cover of the cover, 'Hongyan Comes to the Book, Rush to the Boss', he knew, and the other contents could not be distinguished.

Qing Yang Zhilu said that 'boss' is the name of the emperor within the Intelligence Department, and this Hongyan came to write that he, a person who has a high-level code, cannot decipher it, only the emperor can understand it, and I think this is an intelligence officer personally controlled by the emperor. And the identity of the person who can enjoy this kind of treatment must be extremely secretive, but he also knows that curiosity must not be inquired about, otherwise what awaits him will be an endless sentence, and he can only spend his life in a black prison.

"Hongyan is really a charcoal in the snow, and this time he has made a great contribution!" The emperor suddenly laughed, and Qing Yang was startled, only to see that the gloomy clouds that had shrouded the official family for many days had dissipated, and then he wrote three letters, and then threw the letter from Hong Yan and the code into the brazier at his feet and said: "Qing Yang, quickly send these three letters out, the sooner the better, let the wolf general Chang overspeed the commander of the first brigade to see me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qingyang promised to execute it immediately, but the doubts in his heart have not been solved, who is this Hongyan who can make the battle situation turn around... (To be continued......)
