Chapter 489 The Five Thieves Gather to Meet Liangshan
Gao Yu is the youngest of the five people, so he naturally wants him to speak first, although Gao Yu's face is as usual at this time, he seems very calm, but he is extremely shocked in his heart, and there is fear in this shock.
Liangshan's military horses completely captured the entire Tokyo West Road in less than two months, including the military towns of Yingtianfu and Xuzhou, such a huge force, such a strong combat effectiveness, it is enough to make Gao Yu afraid, and another point is that many generals in Liangshan have a blood feud with Gao Yu, once Liangshan rises, then Gao Yu's future fate can be imagined, so he is also a strong advocate of sending troops to Liangshan.
After sorting out his thoughts, Gao Yu opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, now the Liangshan thieves are becoming more and more presumptuous, Nanjing Yingtianfu, the important town of Xuzhou, and Xingren Mansion have been lost one after another, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that it will not take a few days, and the Chao Gai thieves will wave their troops to our city of Bianliang, Tokyo, and this has to be guarded against."
"The Liangshan thieves are making waves so much, causing trouble for the place, if our court doesn't make some reactions, then where is the face of my court, and then there will be more and more people with intentions who will rise up, so my Great Song Dynasty will be in danger."
"Therefore, this official advocates the dispatch of elite soldiers and strong generals from all over the country, and the general of the unified army to conquer the Liangshan bandits, and completely eliminate them while the Liangshan bandits have not yet established a foothold on Tokyo West Road."
"Ahem."
As soon as Gao Yu's words fell, Liang Shicheng next to him coughed twice, and then said: "Gao Taiwei is for the country and the people, the old man admires, but the Liangshan thieves are just a group of thieves in the old man's opinion, in the eyes of the old man, they are just a group of rabble, they can fight for a while, he can't fight for a lifetime, and the military horses that can be allocated by the army of my court have been transferred, the army led by Tong Shumi to conquer Tian Hu, and the military horses that went south to prevent Fang La."
"Now that this court is already without soldiers, and now the treasury is empty, grain, grass, ordnance, materials, etc. should not be prepared, I am afraid that a rash attack will not be able to exterminate the Liangshan bandits, and the elite of our court will also be caught in it, so the old man thinks that it is not realistic to send troops to Liangshan, Liangshan Caokou is just a disease of ringworm, Fang La in the south, Liao in the north, and Western Xia are our real enemies."
After Liang Shicheng finished speaking, the young ruler Wang Huang next to him also nodded frequently, and said approvingly: "Yes, I agree with Lord Liang's statement, the current imperial court can only hold up the cost of sending troops again, and we have fallen into a state of stalemate with Tian Hu, which Tong Shumi is naturally clear to the commander."
Tong Guan nodded, that is, he agreed with Wang Hao's words, Gao Yu saw that the three people did not agree to send troops to Liangshan, so naturally he did not insist anymore, what is the situation of the imperial court, as the captain of the palace marshal's mansion, he is naturally clear, Liang Shicheng is not wrong, whether it is military strength or financial resources, the imperial court can no longer support the expenses.
The four of them all finished their opinions more or less, only Taishi Cai Jing had been sitting there, closing his eyes and recuperating, the old god was there, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, and he had already known that Cai Ke, the Taishou of Yingtianfu, was Cai Jing's kindred.
"Master Cai, what do you mean?" Wang Hao looked at Cai Jing, and then asked.
Hearing Wang Hao's question, Cai Jing opened his eyes slightly, looked at the other four people in the study, and took a sip of fragrant tea without hurrying, and then said: "The old man also agrees with Lord Liang's opinion, the imperial court is seriously empty, and the treasury is empty, so don't use swords and soldiers at this time, otherwise we will shake the country, and we will be the sinners of the Great Song Dynasty."
"However, the Liangshan thieves are bold and reckless, attacking the city and conquering the city, wantonly slaughtering the officials of the imperial court, if the imperial court does not have the slightest movement, I am afraid that people will say that the imperial court is afraid of that gang of anti-thieves, and it will lose the face of our imperial court if it is spread out."
"What does that mean by Master Cai?" At this time, Gao Yu interjected and asked.
Although it is said that Gao Yu, Cai Jing, and Tong Guan, the three largest court forces, fight openly and secretly, and fight to the death in private, but on the surface, they are still more respectful, especially Gao Yu to Cai Jing, which can be said to be the attitude of students respecting the teacher, but I don't know how to say it in private.
Cai Jing glanced at Gao Yu, pondered for a while, and said: "According to the old man's opinion, at this time, while the strength of the Liangshan bandits has not yet grown, let the states and governments around Tokyo West Road strictly defend, and step up the conquest of Tianhu in Hebei.
A few people discussed for a while, according to Cai Jing's idea to do it, after a few people separated, Gao Yu and Tong Guan went back directly to Gao Yu's Taiwei Mansion, this time Tong Guan came back from the front line, one was to discuss the sudden rise of Liangshan, and the second was to ask Gao Yu for weapons.
After the matter was done, Tong Guan couldn't wait to return to the front line, although Tong Guan was a traitor, but he was still very capable in the army, commanding the troops to fight, sharing joys and sorrows, and won the love of the soldiers.
At the same time, in Shanxi's Weisheng Mansion, it is also the base camp of King Tianhu of the Jin Dynasty and the location of the national capital.
There are also several people sitting in the meeting hall of the Jin Palace, and the mighty man who is sitting on the top and wearing the yellow robe of the dragon is Tian Hu, the king of the Jin Kingdom.
On both sides, the high-ranking military generals of the Jin State are impressively listed, Taiwei Fang Xuedu, left prime minister Qiao Daoqing, right prime minister Niu Wenzhong, household department Shangshu Dong Shidao, Shangshu Zheng Zhirui, Shangshu Li Tianxi and others.
At this time, what Tian Hu was holding in his hand was the information about Liangshan, the sudden rise of Liangshan, Tian Hu naturally could not be underestimated, after all, the entire Great Song Dynasty was so big, and one more powerful force would have one more future opponent.
Tian Hu took the information in his hand, looked at his own think tanks below, and said at the moment: "This, Liangshan captured the entire Tokyo West Road in less than two months, and his reputation is great, so let's talk about it."
As soon as Tian Hu's words fell, Dong Shidao, the head of the household next to him, walked out with an excited face, arched his hand towards Tian Hu at the top, and said, "King, this is great news for us."
"What's the good news? Dong Aiqing said it well, and this king listened attentively. Tian Hu has a very good impression of this Dong Shidao, he has both ability and character, and he is loyal to the monarch and the country, and he is rich in five cars, which can be said to be a rare talent in the Jin Kingdom.
Dong Shidao arched his hand again, and then said: "Back to the king, now that the imperial court has sent a large army to conquer my Jin country, there is still Song Jiang's capricious thieves in the south, and my Jin country is honestly in a very bad situation at this time."
"But the sudden rise of Liangshan, in less than two months, captured the entire Tokyo West Road, will naturally divert the attention of the imperial court, and then the imperial court will divide its troops to recruit the Liangshan bandits, so that our army can be more relaxed, maybe we can take advantage of this large-scale counterattack."
As soon as Dong Shidao said this, Li Tianxi next to him walked out, Li Tianxi and Dong Shidao are both scholars, and Li Tianxi's qualifications are much older than Dong Shidao, and now when he sees such a newcomer at the same level as himself, he is naturally a little unhappy in his heart, so he is also against Dong Shidao everywhere in private.
Li Tianxi stood up, first arched his hand towards Tian Hu, then looked at Dong Shidao, smiled, and said: "Dong Shangshu said very well, but there is something unclear below, and I ask Dong Shangshu to teach you."
Dong Shidao also knows that there will be no good thing for this Li Tianxi to come out, but as the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, Li Tianxi is polite to you, and you can't ignore it.
immediately said: "Don't dare, don't dare, and ask Li Shangshu to ask questions, listen to your ears and listen to you, you must know everything and say everything."
Hearing Dong Shidao's words, Li Tianxi said: "Just now Dong Shangshu said that the imperial court will divide troops to conquer that Liangshan, but this is all Dong Shangshu's opinion, in case the imperial court ignores Liangshan, concentrates the main force to attack us, and then returns to Liangshan to conquer Liangshan, what should I do if I leave?"
Hearing Li Tianxi's question, everyone present, including Tian Hu, had their eyes lit up, right, what if the imperial court didn't care about Liangshan?
