Chapter 221: The Night Banquet (6)

Song Jiu went home and took the time to read the history books again, and after fighting the Northern Han, he couldn't avoid encountering the Khitan iron horse. In the previous life, there were many people who compared the cavalry to the infantry in the era of cold weapons, which was a tank. But even tanks have a way to deal with it, he specially looked for war scenes in the history books, and actually saw many battle examples, and even saw Zhuge Liang use infantry to break the Wei cavalry. It can't be said that Wei Qi is not powerful, Cao Cao is the strategy of first north and then south, not only north and then south, west and then south, the Hu people in the north and the Qiang people in the west were all defeated by Cao Cao, no matter who led these Hu people and Qiang people.

Seeing that the Great Heavenly King Ran Min also had many records of infantry breaking cavalry, if the Eastern Jin Dynasty was short-sighted, Xianbei Murong suddenly joined, maybe let Ran Tianwang achieve his goal.

Not only Mo Dao, but there was definitely no Mo Dao before.

However, the analysis of these battle examples, he saw that the most important one, more inseparable from three things, one car, two shields and three bows and crossbows, of which the car is the most important, generally infantry and cavalry will use the car, including the moon array, Pei Xingjian's grain cart ambush, not necessarily a special cart, ordinary baggage cart grain and grass cart can be, use the car to force the horse to stop or slow down, can not rush, use the shield to block the bow shot of the enemy horse, under the cover of the shield, use the bow and crossbow to counterattack the enemy, when the enemy horse can not run, depressed and demoralized, Quickly get out of the car, and a big victory has arrived.

It's still hard.

Song Jiu doesn't understand military affairs, but he can also imagine it, the first is time, if you set up the car in advance, you can rush if you can, you can't rush me to send a ranger to trap you, is it possible that you use the car for ten days and a month, a little careless, the three armies gather. rushed immediately, unless it was like the Huns Shan Yu let Li Ling kill the red eye. It doesn't matter what kind of car you are, I'm going to rush.

It can't be too late. If it is too late, it will be too late to lay the carts in front to form a defensive line, and let the enemy cavalry rush into the formation, and it will be defeated. This is to pay attention to scouts, scouts are also very difficult, if the personal safety of the scout can be guaranteed, but it is too late to notify, if it is a reprimand, the goal is too big. He is running, and the enemy will inevitably find out and send people to chase after him. Besides, now that there are few people in the wilderness and the terrain is complicated, how many scouts do you have to send to ensure that the enemy soldiers can get the news as soon as they arrive?

The most rear-end is the battle, that is, the enemy horse slows down, and the force of the war horse is weakened, one is on the horse, and the other is under the horse. The infantry still occupies a disadvantage, and at this time it is not only a victory, but also a big victory, not a small victory. The enemy was cavalry, retreated in time, taking advantage of the speed advantage to retreat to the distance to assemble. With a little rest, you can make a comeback.

Let's talk about it. It's still six words, handsome and wise.

These six words are too difficult.

Song Jiu didn't care too much about it. The Khitans are not stupid, at this time the Song army is not very easy to gnaw, they let Chai Rong kill scared, and there were also battles after the founding of the Song Dynasty, such as the Battle of Song Liao in the second year of Qiande. The Song Dynasty attacked Liaozhou in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Khitan sent Yelu Dari, the king of the Southern Courtyard, to lead 60,000 tanks to help. Li Jixun, Luo Yanbi, Guo Jin, and Cao Bin also led 60,000 Song troops, the same number, millet plus rifles against tanks, and fought under the city of Liaozhou, resulting in a great defeat for the Khitan.

Song Jiu heard another statement, because of Yuping, Song Jiu talked to those smuggling merchants, they heard the truth from the Khitan people is different, not that the Khitan took the initiative to help, but that the Northern Han tricked the Khitan into sending troops, and defeated Wang Jixun's troops in Shizhou.

Song Jiu first felt strange, why the two results were different, one was aid, and the other was tempted. He is not good at military affairs, good at geography, and bad at geography as a donkey friend, is he still called a donkey? He immediately sensed that Jerodari was lying. Because there is still a Fenzhou between Liaozhou and Shizhou, strictly speaking, Shizhou is still in the west of Taiyuan, at least 500 miles away from Liaozhou, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't even want to take Taiyuan, what did Li Jixun do when he went to Shizhou, maybe Yelu Dali was killed by Li Jixun and couldn't make a difference, and after fleeing to Shizhou, he killed many people of the Northern Han Dynasty and used their heads to escape the crime, but this defeat made the Khitan regret it, so he was angry with the Northern Han Dynasty, saying that the Northern Han lured them to send troops.

Therefore, I watched the Song Dynasty calmly recover the Southern Han and Southern Tang Dynasty and complete the unification.

The big drama begins.

Li Jixun's army was not sent, Liu Jun died, Guo Wuwei made up his mind, and then sent the letter to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty gathered the military, prepared grain, grass, and heavy weapons, which was enough for a period of time, enough to happen too many things. And Guo Wuwei also needs this time, because he can't persuade Liu Jien unless another person comes to power......

Everything has to be justified for himself, Guo Wuwei didn't want to move first, so he did two things, first the guard pro-army envoy Wei Jin, he was at odds with Guo Wuwei, this person could not be in Taiyuan, using Liu Jun's power to transfer Wei Jin to Daizhou to defend the Khitan. Then Liu Jun's other adopted son, Liu Jizhong, was transferred to Xinzhou. Liu Jizhong was reluctant and found Liu Jien and said that he had suffered from cold and illness because he had gone to Khitan as an envoy in winter. Xinzhou is cold, and I am willing to stay in Jinyang.

At this time, Liu Jien still didn't dare to move Guo Wuwei, this manpower is too powerful, with deep roots and lush leaves, in front of Guo Wuwei, he is just a rookie. So he scolded Liu Jizhong and scolded him fiercely, and Liu Jizhong hanged himself in shame. Liu Jien was sad and indignant after hearing this, he and Liu Jizhong had a good relationship, but he still kept quiet. Instead, he sent an envoy to the Khitan. There was only one month, and the messenger returned, and Xu Zhi succeeded to the throne. Only with the consent of the Khitan can he, the emperor, be justified.

But there is a question in the middle, since Guo Wuwei is temporarily managing government affairs, why is he in such a hurry. From Taiyuan to Khitan near, you can find the emperor of Liao who is making a bowl in Xia, you must arrive in Zhongjing, what kind of speed can you do a round trip in a month, and you also have to meet the emperor of Liao, and explain things clearly. Didn't you tell Guo Wuwei that I was not at ease with you? It was not Guo Wuwei who was told, but also his subordinates.

Many cronies advised Liu Jien to do it early, including Hou Barong......

With the consent of the Khitan, Liu Jien took the first step, he carefully worshiped Guo Wuwei as a commonplace, degraded his name, and tried to elevate Guo Wuwei. It's like Cao Shuang wants to kill Sima Yi, can he kill him? Guo Wuwei is far inferior to Sima Yi, but Liu Jien is even inferior to Cao Shuang. Otherwise, Liu Jun would not say that he is not a talent for the world. Therefore, Guo Wuwei was vacated in his position, but Liu Jien found that the regime was still controlled by Guo Wuwei.

September is coming, and the weather is starting to get cooler.

In this depressing atmosphere, Liu Jien found Empress Dowager Guo. said: "Guo Wuwei dominates the government, and Erchen thinks he wants to learn from Sima Yi and Wang Mang. The plot is not tricky, so the ministers plan to put the wine banquet in the name. Summoning all the ministers and sons to come to the banquet, and ambushing the tiger and the ben outside the palace, killing the fang. ”

"When your father was there, the mourning family advised your father that Guo Wuwei should not be reused, and your father did not listen to it to this day. But En'er, you have to be careful. ”

"The son-in-law has been arranged, please rest assured."

"The country was originally hidden. It's a big disaster to come out of this hero again," Queen Guo sighed, the autumn wind blew, and the red curtain shook a dignified dark red in the sigh, as if it was congealed blood.

With the approval of the Khitan, Liu Jien officially succeeded to the throne, in order to reassure Guo Wuwei and paralyze carelessness. He was in charge of the Qinzheng Palace, and his cronies were all from the original Taiyuan Mansion, and they stayed in the Taiyuan Mansion together, and they were not summoned by the general to the inner palace to guard. Then give the civil and military people ranks. The official has been added to the knighthood, so a banquet should be set up to entertain him.

One by one, the ministers and sons came one after another.

It's dusk.

Guo Wuwei hadn't arrived yet, he went to a secret place. Liu Jiyuan's mansion, Liu Jiyuan is reading the Diamond Sutra. Guo Wuwei said: "Shizi." You believe in Buddhism, I believe in Taoism. But at this time, the gods and Buddhas may not be able to bless us. ”

"What does Guo Xianggong mean?" Liu Jiyuan put down the scriptures and asked, the relationship between the two was not evil, and Liu Jiyuan asked casually.

Stupid pig, Guo Wuwei scolded in his heart. But the more stupid Liu Jiyuan is, the more successful he will be, his face is not revealed, and he continues to say calmly: "Shizi, Your Majesty will immediately worship me as a commonplace, do you know what will happen next?" ”

"I don't know," Liu Jiyuan said blankly.

"Only death. The old minister is loyal to the country, why does His Majesty want to hold the old minister to death. ”

"Why?"

"Because the old minister is good friends with the son, and the queen mother and His Majesty hate the son, there are old ministers who are safe and sound in the world, and the old minister is not there, and the son will not end well."

"Guo Xianggong save me."

"Don't worry, the old minister not only wants to save you, but also puts you on the throne, please prepare the prince."

"The throne?" Liu Jiyuan said sluggishly.

"It's the throne, the prince, the old minister is leaving, and there is a big drama tonight." Guo Wuwei stood up and left Liu Jiyuan's mansion and came to his home. Secretly summoned Hui Xuan and said, "General Hui, if the Song Dynasty gets the Han Kingdom, it must be sacrificed. ”

"Yes, although the Northern Han Dynasty is poor, it has the support of the Khitan behind it, how can it be possible without sacrifice."

"General Hui, you don't have to sacrifice much, I only need to sacrifice alone."

"Who?"

"Hou Barong!"

The sun was gradually setting in the western mountains, and the ministers and princes in the Taiyuan Palace were still waiting, and the eunuch came back to report: "Guo Xianggong said that he will be there soon, please forgive your majesty." ”

Liu Jien breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and the night banquet began. The minister toasted, and Liu Jien was a little drunk for a while, but he definitely couldn't eat too much wine tonight, and of course he couldn't have a banquet, and he had to wait for Guo Wuwei to come. So he said to the ministers: "Zhuqing, I'll take a break in the back study hall first, you can drink as much as you want, and wait for the time by the way." ”

He rested in the study hall behind the banquet hall. The people present did not expect that besides, this was a banquet to celebrate Liu Jien's pro-government, and it would not be like it without Guo Wuwei, so they continued to drink and be happy. In fact, Liu Jien didn't rest at all, he leaned on the couch in the hall and looked at the dark night sky outside, his mind was tumbling and agitating, thinking about the aftermath of killing Guo Wuwei. Suddenly, Hou Barong broke in with more than a dozen of his subordinates in full armor. Liu Jien asked strangely: "General Hou, aren't you ambushing outside, why are you here?" ”

Hou Barong didn't answer, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen guards quickly closed the door of the study hall, and he himself drew his saber and pounced on Liu Jien. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Jien hurriedly got up and took refuge through the screen of the study hall, shouting.

Guo Wuwei arrived, some were his cronies, and some were also his political enemies, but this was a wedding banquet, and it was not easy to reveal, so he greeted them one by one. Guo Wuwei asked: "Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty is resting in the back."

"The old minister went to see him," Guo Wuwei didn't finish speaking, and the guards outside hurriedly broke in and said: "It's a big deal, Hou Barong closed the door of the study hall and stabbed His Majesty inside, and his subordinates couldn't open the door, so hurry up and save Your Majesty." ”

"Everyone, come with me." Guo Wuwei shouted, and when he came to the back, many guards were pushing the door, but this was the palace gate, even if it was a convenient hall, it was made of copper and iron, where could it be pushed away by a sharp push. Or go and find the crashing wood, that's not in a hurry. At this time, Guo Wuwei heard Liu Jien shouting like a pig from inside, he ran inside, but Hou Barong took more than a dozen people in, blocked him for a while, and Hou Barong stabbed him in the chest with a knife.

"You ......" Liu Jien screamed in pain, and pointed at Hou Barong again, he couldn't figure it out when he was dying, among the many cronies who persuaded him to kill Guo Wuwei, there was Hou Barong! Guo Wuwei said outside: "Use the ladder to climb the roof, uncover the tiles and jump down, mess with the party and kill!" ”

The guards were in a mess just now, but this time it was very fast, especially Hui Luan, who quickly moved a ladder and let his subordinates climb to the top of the palace. Without peeling back the truth one by one, it is difficult for anyone to think of the difference.

At this time, Guo Wuwei watched one after another guards ascend to the top of the hall, listening to the sound of fierce battles inside, and then raised his eyes to look at the south, with a secret smile on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued......)
