From Chahan's point of view, it is certainly a good thing to be able to quickly achieve victory on the battlefield of Jinji, free up his hands, concentrate on dealing with Yidu, and concentrate all his efforts to solve the danger of Juye. But this good thing was not in his plan. Because although he was sure that he could defeat Polo, even if he himself could not predict in advance when he would achieve victory.

Therefore, for the Juye battlefield, his real plan is actually to attack Dizhou on the one hand, "encircling Wei to save Zhao"; On the one hand, the ambush buried in South Goryeo was activated to create a civil strife to make Deng She unprepared. All in all, it was all the sword out of the edge, and the indirect method was used to save Wang Baobao's danger.

Now that Polo Timur has been forced to make peace, it goes without saying that this indirect method will naturally change with it. The most important aspect of change is in the "rush to Dizhou".

Think of that Richard, the hero I, as he himself said: from the time he raised his army, he fought in the south and in the north, no matter who the opponent was, he has always been invincible and invincible. Even though there are sometimes setbacks and small defeats, when and where have you ever been so embarrassed as you are today?

Fighting on two fronts. In the most urgent time, he almost taught him to go in and out.

Think about it, how could he not be angry and hateful? If he didn't immediately return a tooth for a tooth, a blood for a blood, and a color for Dunshe, and then try to ask again, how could he raise his head in front of the world's heroes in the future? It is not easy to stand up for the prestige of a hundred battles, but if it is destroyed, it will only be in an instant. If he swallowed this breath and suffered this loss, what would the heroes and heroes of the world think of him?

Yes, now Zhu Yuanzhang in Jinling, Zhang Shicheng in Songjiang, and even Ming Yuzhen in Shuzhong, these heroes of the separatist side are indeed all respectful to him. The premise of respectfulness is that he is invincible. Now, Deng She, a yellow-mouthed child, can force him into such a predicament. If he doesn't retaliate, if he is not careful, it is very likely that there will be a situation where the heroes of the world will attack him.

This is from the point of view of selfishness, from the point of view of his personal interests.

From a public point of view, the Mengyuan court in the capital was already wary of him and did not trust him very much, although he had won the support of the crown prince of Mengyuan some time ago, but when people were proud, there would be many people to cheer; If people are frustrated, they will inevitably be frustrated. If he doesn't bring this revenge back, he won't say whether the crown prince of Meng Yuan will have other ideas, the question is what kind of face he has to talk to him about the conditions?

What's more, there are also Zhang Liangbi and others in Guanzhong, who are nominally under their control, but in fact they are not convinced. There has already been such a thing as Polo Timur, if Richard Han swallows the losses suffered by Wang Baobao on Jining Road now, who knows if Zhang Liangbi will expand his ambitions and desires even more because of this?

You know, why did Li Siqi use 5,000 people to deter Zhang Liangbi from going out to the army? In the final analysis, it is not Li Siqi's elite soldiers, but Li Chahan's prestige in the past. Only by taking revenge on Deng She can he "knock on the mountain and shock the tiger", so that Zhang Liangbi can completely put away his dissenting ambitions and dare not have any more dissenting intentions.

Therefore, as soon as he finished discussing peace with Polo, Chahan decided to change his previous plan, no longer just attacking Dizhou, and no longer just "encircling Wei to save Zhao"; Instead, it is necessary to "criticize and make trouble", and take advantage of the time when the main forces of Yidu gather in Jining and Juye, and use the momentum of thunder and surprise to pull out Dizhou City in one fell swoop. Then depending on the fighter, choose whether to drive straight into the Yellow Dragon, or whether to take advantage of the two!

When discussing with the staff, Li Weixin put forward an opinion, he said: "Although it is said that most of the main forces of Yidu have gathered on the Jining and Juye fronts now. According to the report, it seems that most of Yidu's elite banners have appeared there. But Xiao Deng has always been cunning, and it is best to lure the enemy into a scheme. There is a way that 'soldiers are not tired of cheating', but the lord should not be careless, and he must beware of the backhand he still leaves. ”

"The army that Deng Thief brought to Yidu was not much, but now, he surrounded Jeju, Erda Shanyang Lake, and Sanjie Juye City, and he could occupy a slight advantage in these three battlefields, so it can be seen that there will definitely be no shortage of men and horses he sent to Jining Road. Moreover, fighting on the front line, the rear cannot be without reserves. He must have some troops in Tai'an. It would not be wrong to say that his main force has gathered in Jining. Hmph, did he think that with Polo's little ability, he would be able to attract the old man to Datong, so that he would have no time to take care of Yidu? I dare to assert that Yidu must be empty now! At most, Xiao Deng can leave three or five thousand elite soldiers in case of contingencies, even if it is great, even if he can use soldiers! ”

"What the lord said is very true. But two days ago, intelligence came, saying that Anfeng and Jinling were a little ready to move. Fang Buzhen is a famous lobbyist in Haidong, with a three-inch tongue. He has also entered Jinling. Lord, even if Yidu is empty, we have to guard against it in the direction of Henan.

"Anfeng and our army have a deep enmity like the sea, although the power is gradually declining, thousands of people can still get it, once it seizes the opportunity, it will definitely come back and seek revenge. And Zhu Yuanzhang of Jinling is as cunning as a fox and as ruthless as a sheep, don't look at how many times he sent envoys to communicate with us, but the meaning is unpredictable. It's a fierce rival. ”

"An Feng's subordinates are defeated, so there is nothing to worry about. Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed an opponent. ......, the old man will write a letter to Zhang Shicheng, and if Zhu Yuanzhang really dares to move, he will send troops from Songjiang to take his lair. ”

"Shicheng is suspicious and indecisive, and he is famous but not brave. Lord, this person is not trustworthy. ”

"Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng have a grudge against their brothers, if Zhu Yuanzhang really mobilizes the people and offends me in Henan, Zhang Shicheng will not give up this opportunity no matter how brave he is. Besides, in addition to Shicheng, there is also Chen Youliang? Zhu Yuanzhang is as ruthless as a sheep, and Chen Youliang is as ruthless as a wolf. Jiangnan and Huaisi can barely be called heroes, but these two are the only ones. Even if Shicheng is not brave after all, Chen Youliang will not miss the opportunity! ”

"Then, how does the lord plan to take Dizhou?"

"Although Polo has negotiated peace with the old man, 'Ming and his heart are not in harmony'. According to the old man's expectations, he must have wanted to wait for us to decide the battle with the Deng thief, and then take advantage of the situation to enter and start a war with me. This time, due to the situation in Jining, Datong cannot be taken, and it is a pity that there will be no future troubles! This time, our army took Dizhou, although Henan was not worried, but it had to be wary of Polo. The old man's plan, in short, is four words: 'quick victory'. Choose the elite, first quickly capture Dizhou, and then depending on the situation, or then take advantage of the capital; Or go back to the division and turn around, World War II Datong. In any case, since this battle has already begun, and since it has been fought to this extent, no matter how you say it, you must destroy a strong enemy first! ”

"And then it depends on the situation, or then take advantage of the capital, or the Great Harmony of World War II?"

"On the battlefield, things are changing in a hurry. Plans are meant to change. Who can guarantee that the plan will be fully implemented? Therefore, the old man said 'it depends on the situation' and then makes a decision. ”

"Then the lord thinks that if our army gains again, what are the odds of victory?"

"Yidu is short of food, the soldiers are tired, and the main force is outside. I will take the city of weakness and weariness with the army of victory, sir, what do you think are the odds of victory? ”

"If you go back to the teacher, will you be the same?"

"Half of the outlying strongholds of Datong have been occupied by our army, and the elite in the city was asked by the old man to come with 5,000, and Polo Timur has few dangers outside, and there is a lack of elite soldiers inside. Or please, sir, what are the chances of our army's victory? ”

The two smiled at each other.

The plan has been decided, and the three armies of Chakhan have selected more than 10,000 elites, plus the 5,000 men of Polo Timur, nearly 20,000. From the south of Datong, take Shangdu Road directly, pass through Baoding Road, turn to the southeast, enter Hejian Mansion, meet with the garrison of Hejian Mansion, and then pounce on Dizhou. Mengyuan's Shangdu Road is very large, extending from Monan to Ulzhou, Hebei, and Lingqiu, Shanxi, just bordering Datong Road.

On the day of the departure of the army, Chahan personally went to the camp to swear.

"The world is in turmoil, and the people are struggling to make a living. Rioters, red thieves are also. The old man started from the recklessness, raised an army of 100,000 people, did not undress and unarmour, could not get off the saddle, and fought a bloody battle so far, what has he done? Report the country's kindness, and just seek survival for the people. Today, Bianliang has been recovered by me, and the pseudo-Xiaoming King has fled to Anfeng, dying, and can be destroyed at any time, and the first evil has been punished. And the east is Yidu, and the west is Jinling, which is a red thief and has two wings.

"Yidu Deng She, known as the most powerful among thieves, and my neighbor Jinji, is really a big trouble. If you want to completely quell the thief's rebellion, you must first destroy the thief! The previous gains were all due to subtleties, and the success was successful. This time, Ben Shuai and Datong joined forces, totaling more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and the main force of the thief army was outside, and the interior was empty. Ladies and gentlemen, the day of victory is the time to enjoy glory and wealth! ”

The three armies raised their voices and shook the ground.

"Military order: On this expedition, all the cities of Suoke, regardless of the soldiers, it is forbidden to disturb the people, and those who violate it will be beheaded! And all the goods that were seized, Xu Er and others kept them for themselves. ”

Wealth touches people's hearts, and the desire for profit smokes people's eyes.

Nearly 20,000 people are even more vocal about it. Under the blue sky and white clouds, in the slaughtering barracks, it is really as Chahan boasts: where the military flag stands, the wind and clouds change color; As pointed by the soldiers, the mountains and rivers are invincible. Suddenly, the shouting made people feel that the earth was shaking; In a daze, the armor was bright, which simply made the sun and the moon avoid its brilliance.

The momentum is so great, and the victorious army is so majestic.

But this is only one of the two things that Chahan is in charge of. At the same time as changing "encircling Wei to save Zhao" to "criticizing and making trouble", Chahan sent a secret letter to South Goryeo, urging it to be launched as soon as possible.

Eat a trench, grow a wisdom. The reason why the last time Chahan took the capital, failed was because of Polo, and because the reinforcements from Haidong arrived in time. This time, Polo has bowed his head and admitted defeat, and he can be safed in a short time; It's so easy that Yidu is empty, and of course Chahan won't give Haidong reinforcements another chance to come!

……

South Goryeo, Hanyang Province.

Yao Haogu was talking to someone.

But seeing that the man was in his twenties, with a clear face, a beard under his chin, and his upper and lower clothes were cleanly packed, although he was talking to Yao Haogu in a private room, he still straightened his waist and sat upright. Up and down the body, only a jade pendant was hung on the belt, and other than that, there was no other half of the decoration.

It's none other than Fang Buzhen.

Fang Buzhen and Ju Sheng respectively followed Deng She's orders to inspect all parts of Haidong, rectify the rule of officials, and reshape morale. Both of them have been on the road for a long time, and in mid-April, they went to South Korea. Yao Haogu and Ju Sheng are not familiar with each other, but they have a deep friendship with Fang Buzhen, and Fang Buzhen has always regarded Yao Haogu as a teacher.

Therefore, in addition to official duties, Yao Haogu often invited Fang Buzhen to come, and the two talked in private. Sometimes they talk about internal affairs, sometimes they talk about people; Sometimes they drink and drink, and sometimes they talk about poetry and painting. Even if it's a busy leisure, it's quite enjoyable for each other.

At this time, the two of them were in Yao Haogu's mansion, on top of a pavilion.

The pavilion is very high, high above the city, and when you open the window, you can see the distant mountains outside the city. The weather is sunny and the mountains are like daisies. Summers in South Korea are hot, but because of the towering pavilions, they are cooler. The cool breeze blew Yao Haogu's sweatshirt. He took a banana fan, reclined and sat on the Hu bed, some did not fan the fan twice, sometimes picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of herbal tea, looked very idle, looked at the distant mountains, and recited Tang poems: "The birds fly high, and the lonely clouds go alone." I don't get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain. ”

This poem was written by Li Bai, and its name is "Sitting Alone on Jingting Mountain", which is a five-character quatrain. On the surface, it seems to be quiet and calm, but in fact, it is written about the feeling of loneliness and loneliness that Huai Cai has never encountered.

Fang Buzhen said with a smile: "Mr. is a full-time South Korean, it is true that he is a big official in Xinjiang, and he has won the trust of the lord, and it is expected that he will be promoted in the near future." When the spring breeze is proud, why do you suddenly recite this poem? ”

"Don't you know who I am?" Wealth is like a cloud to me.'" In one life, if you can get the word 'righteousness', you will know enough, and if you can get the word 'benevolence' again, you will really be worthy of the world! But Shique, you see that I am proud of the spring breeze, and I see that you are also proud of the spring breeze. I know what I want, but what about you? Do you know what you want? ”

"Assist the Lord and benefit the people. If the lord makes a mistake, he will be admonished; Gou has a benefit to the people, and he must admonish him. This is also what I want. ”

"So, do you want to become a first-class figure in Tang Weizheng?"

"Exactly."

"But Shique, have you ever thought that not all lords can be like Tang Taizong! And just as Tang Taizong's kindness can be admonished, Wei Zheng will inevitably have the misfortune of 'pushing the tablet and grinding the text' after his death. Shique, do you think your talent is stronger than Wei Zheng's? Or do you think that the magnanimity of the lord is far greater than that of Tang Taizong? You know, who has no selfish desires? It's the same with emperors and monarchs.

"Shique, even if you don't plan for today, you should plan for the future, right?" Floating, I don't know what to ask for. Rampant, I don't know where to go. This is certainly a leisurely attitude, but being a man, especially a courtier, must not be like them, but requires a long-term plan. ”

Yao Haogu had talked about this topic with Fang Buzhen many times, but Fang Buzhen always couldn't listen to it. "Who has no selfish desires"? No matter how magnanimous the lord is, he is also a man. There is always a courtier, who chatters on the side day and night, and the slightest mistake is put on the line, it can't be like this, it can't be like that, the slightest privilege of being a king can't be enjoyed, and it's unbearable for anyone to change.

Like Tang Taizong, with the dignity of the emperor, he even had to sneak around with a bird, and in the end, because Wei Zheng deliberately kept talking, the bird was suffocated in his arms. What does this kind of emperor mean? Even if you are afraid of fame and suppress your anger and accept the advice, one day, the grievances will still erupt. Wei Zheng was not bad, and he was punished for other crimes after his death.

The meaning of Yao Haogu's words is actually implying that Fang Buzhen is not afraid that Deng She will restrain himself from being dissatisfied with the other party in order to realize his ambitions and calm the world, but when the big event is decided, isn't Fang Buzhen afraid that Deng She will change his style and no longer tolerate him, and settle accounts after the autumn?

Fang Buzhen was silent for a moment and replied, "Mr. Shicai said that wealth is like a floating cloud to you. It's the same with completion. He was reluctant to contradict Yao Haogu, and Yao Haogu's words were indeed reasonable, so he borrowed Yao Haogu's words to euphemistically express his unwavering determination and ambition.

Confucius said: "Wealth and nobility are what people want; If you don't get it by its way, you can't get it anywhere. And he said, "Unrighteousness and riches are like clouds to me." ”

"Alas. Shique, I'm anxious about you! ”

"Sir's love and complement are clear. Mr. is a person, the outside is straight on the inside, and the completion has always been admired. But sir, I know what kind of person I am, and I know my character better. Thank you for your persuasion, but I'm afraid I can't follow it. "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced to change it.

Yao Haogu was helpless, took a fan and clicked on Fang Buzhen, and said, "You, you!" Sooner or later, you will suffer because of your temperament. For a while, he couldn't think of a better way to persuade him to change, so he had to give up.

While he was talking, someone downstairs came to report: "Lord Ju asks to see you." ”

"Ju Sheng?" Yao Haogu glanced at Fang Buzhen, and both of them were a little surprised, "It's strange, didn't Lord Ju just go to Quanzhou the day before yesterday and give the order of the master of Quanzhou to 'order Haidong Xiucai to learn to ride and shoot'?" Calculating the distance, he should not have arrived yet. How did it turn back again? Hurry up and please. ”

Ju Shengqi Yu Xuanang, strode upstairs.

He came into the cabinet, made a salute, did not wait for Yao and Fang to return the salute, stood firm, and said to the first sentence: "On the way to Quanzhou, I heard some news." I'm afraid that South Korea is about to change. ”
