Chapter 92: A Plan for Regeneration
Ximen Qing's face changed quickly, which made Brother Cha breathtaking, and said in his heart: "I read the history books and saw that the founding monarch was a collection of heroes, hooligans, and wise men. ”
smiled at the moment: "The Lord of Liangshan has besieged but not attacked since he was trapped in Tokyo City, but do you want to wait until the food in the city is exhausted?" ”
This remark is exactly what Ximen Qing is thinking. He didn't want to make senseless sacrifices in the siege, so he starved the enemy behind closed doors, and when the people in the city were so hungry that he couldn't stand it, he put on a big swing at the west city gate.
However, there is no need to admit this to the King of Jin in Western Xia. Ximen Qingmian did not change his face and said: "Surround three queyi, wait quietly, this is mysterious, not enough to be with outsiders!" ”
Brother Cha smiled, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Then I'll tell the Lord of Liangshan a piece of news-just a few days ago, there was a shortage of food in the city, and it was extremely bad, and the soldiers and civilians were all complaining. At this time, fortunately, Mr. Lin Lingsu, the national teacher Tongzhen Daling, came forward and went to lobby the homes of several high-ranking officials and important ministers in the city. This Mr. Lin really has the eloquence of Lu Jia, with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, those important ministers of the Song Dynasty are all generous - so a new Yanfeng warehouse was added to the city of Tokyo, and the beans in the warehouse are piled up like a mountain! ”
Ximenqing heard the shock in his heart, but he just said "oh" quietly on his face, and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Seeing that Ximen Qing was indifferent, Brother Cha became suspicious in his heart: "Could it be that the lord of Liangshan does not rely on the food in the city, and there is no other plan to break the city?" I'll pick it up later. ”
So Brother Cha continued to say in an envious tone: "In the end, it is the Heavenly Empire, just a few official eunuchs pour out a few warehouses of aged bean millet, which is enough for the military and civilians in the city to support more than two years - such a big deal, my Great Xia is absolutely out of time!" ”
He said this lightly, how did Ximen Qing feel awkward when he heard it! Then he listened to Brother Cha's words, looked at himself sincerely and said, "Lord of Liangshan! Now that there is enough food and straw in the city of Tokyo, if there is no internal and external cooperation, I am afraid that you will not be able to take this first city of Shijie! ”
Ximen Qingxin said: "This bastard's thief heart is not dead!" At this time, he somewhat admired the perseverance of the King of Jin, but he couldn't show weakness at this critical juncture, so Ximen Qing shook his finger in front of his face lightly, and smiled lazily: "We Liangshan have a million soldiers and a thousand generals, and if we take this Tokyo City, if it is easy to do it, we will not bother the envoy!" ”
Brother Cha smiled: "The Lord of Liangshan deceived me!" What a million soldiers are really a bluff! After some battle formations, I knew some fiction and reality, and watched the camp tents of the siege of Liangshan, and the soldiers of Liangshan were only 300,000 to understand......"
"Wait!" Ximenqing raised his hand to stop Brother Cha's high-minded talk, and asked, "You, a messenger of Western Xia, how can you observe the reality of our army?" ”
Brother Cha said with a smile: "It's not difficult - just send a few pieces of money, and the Tokyo city wall will be unimpeded, let me play - the city head looks into the distance, your military camp is in the eye, and the virtual and the real are naturally distinct!" ”
Ximen Qing sighed: "During the Xining period, Goryeo paid tribute, collected maps all the way, mountains and rivers, roads, and the situation was dangerous and easy, and everything was prepared. When he arrived in Yangzhou, Goryeo asked Chen Shengzhi, who was guarding Yangzhou, for a map, but Chen Shengzhi not only did not give it, but instead gathered the maps collected by the Goryeo envoys all the way and burned them all -- the mountains and rivers are closed to the city, and the country's treasure, whether it is false or real, how can it be paid into the hands of the enemy? Thinking of the heroic posture of my predecessors, my generation admires it! I can only hate the corrupt soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, so I asked the messenger to pick up the cheap, if Chen Gong is alive, you may step on the city wall? ”
Listening to Ximenqing's words, Brother Cha completely died of the desire to cut the land, and said proudly at the moment: "If the predecessors of Xiuguo Gong Chen were still sitting in China, they would naturally not be able to go to the head of Tokyo City, and the lord of Liangshan would not be able to surround this Shijie first city!" ”
The two looked at each other, and suddenly they were all hahadaxiao.
In the laughter, Ximen Qing arched his hand and said: "In the eyes of the envoy, what is the reality of our army? ”
Brother Cha asked rhetorically, "Does the Lord of Liangshan want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”
Ximenqing asked with interest: "How can you tell a lie?" ”
Brother Cha said: "The true tiger and wolf division is also!" Take this Tokyo city without breaking a sweat! ”
Ximen Qing daxiao: "What about the truth?" ”
Brother Cha said: "The truth is ugly, if you don't blame it, you will say it later." ”
Ximenqing raised his hand: "But please say it clearly." ”
Brother Cha said: "I look at the 300,000 army of the Lord of Liangshan, and the real elite are only tens of thousands, and the rest are all gathering in the rabble!" In this way, you can sweep away the rotten Song Dynasty, and you can still win, but if you want to win a decisive victory in the west with my Great Xia elite soldiers, hehe, success or failure is blunt, and it is still between the two! ”
Ximenqing listened silently. Brother Cha is indeed old in the military, and his eyes are vicious. Although there are many people in Liangshan, there are really tens of thousands of elites who have been trained for a long time, have strict military discipline, and are accustomed to killing people who are accustomed to seeing blood, and some of them have to stay in the Liangshan base area, and even fewer participate in the Tokyo Encirclement.
The elite is not enough, and the number of people is coming. Liangshan repeatedly broke the official army, and its prestige was far and wide, and there was an endless stream of Jianghu men and poor people who came to defect, especially after the capture of Gao Yu Tong Guan, the Liangshan army shili rose sharply, and the overall quality of the army was naturally greatly affected.
Fortunately, although the overall combat effectiveness of the expanded Liangshan Army has declined, the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty's official army is even more rubbish, and Liangshan swept all the way over, but did not meet the opponent.
Ximenqing knew the shortcomings of his own army, so he warned Guan Sheng Hu Yanzhuo that it was not that our army was invincible in the world, but that the enemy army was too corrupt and incompetent.
And Brother Cha is a general of Western Xia, in recent years, Jin Ge Iron Horse, fighting day and day, and the vision sharpened in the sea of blood naturally saw through the deformed nature of the Liangshan Army at a glance.
If it is a matter of national system, Ximenqing naturally wants to fight, but in a place like this that should be realistic, he will not use strong words.
Seeing Ximen Qing nodding and acknowledging his evaluation, Brother Cha not only did not dare to underestimate him, but doubled his respect and vigilance: "This lord of Liangshan, although he is strong and iron-clad at the big joints, he also makes no secret of his own shortcomings, such a heroic lord will be my henchman in the future!" ”
At the moment, he sighed and tried his best: "The lord of Liangshan is not to blame for saying - although the Song army is corrupt, it relies on the strong city to defend it, and the grain and grass are worry-free, and it is equal to the military strength of your army - if it is me, if there is no internal response, it means that I will not attack the city at all, and I will withdraw the army as soon as possible, and divide the prefectures and counties, and I can also benefit." If you only seek the wealth of a country, you can barely blunt the troops under the fortified city, expose the flaws in front of the eyes, and the army will be tired for a long time, although there are wise men, there is no way to do it well! The gains and losses in this, may the lord of Liangshan see it deeply! ”
These words, one is to respect Ximen Qing and send him zuihou's advice; Second, with a sentence of internal response, I hope to provoke Ximenqing to agree to the idea of ceding the land, even if there is little hope, but even if you die, you will never give up is the style of the Western Xia soldiers, without this little ambition, the Western Xia would have destroyed the country early; Thirdly, Brother Cha is secretly motivating the generals, if he can arouse Ximenqing's competitiveness, insist on Tokyo City, and fight with Zhao Song to lose both, it is of course the best.
Ximenqing didn't hear it, but just arched his hand and said, "The envoy still has what he says?" ”
Brother Cha knew that Ximenqing was going to drive people away, so he replied: "That's all I have to say." The night is dark, so don't leave it at that. ”
Ximen Qingzheng said: "There is a parting word, say to the messenger, and relay the Lord Xia." ”
Brother Cha also said solemnly: "Listen to me!" ”
Ximen Qing said: "If the envoy goes, Western Xia will inevitably raise troops to invade my border and plunder my territory." The two countries clashed, taking advantage of the weakness, and the soldiers were commonplace, and I don't blame you for this section. However, Ximen Qing made a contract with the envoy here - Ming ** Xixia will take a place in China, and in the future, China will take back a place! At that time, please ask the envoy to go to the city to look at the city and see how our Liangshan elite is! ”
Listening to Ximen Qing's words, Brother Cha was shocked and couldn't be right, so he gave a deep salute, withdrew from the account, and led the followers back to Tokyo City, and after sitting down, he secretly thought about Ximen Qing's words, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Looking at the lonely lamp, Brother Cha pondered: "This time, I came to the Song Dynasty to sue for peace on the order of the imperial brother, but unexpectedly, I killed heroes like Ximenqing in the oblique stab!" Seeking harmony or not seeking harmony is already a trivial matter! How to grab the greatest benefits for my Great Xia in this chaotic situation is the top priority! ”
After thinking about it again and again, he suddenly took the case: "Why not do this, do this?!" ”
So the next day, Brother Cha went to meet Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, expressed positive intentions on the signing of the peace treaty between the two countries, Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng was overjoyed, they had long been eager to sign, and then the elite soldiers and horses on the border were transferred back to fight Ximenqing, but soon after Brother Cha entered the city of Tokyo, he began to become ill, unable to write with a pen, and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty could only be anxious.
It stands to reason that this kind of foreign affairs should be jointly responsible for the Privy Council and Honglu Temple, but collecting Western Xia native products is a strong hobby of the two eunuchs, Yang Jian and Liang Shicheng, so since they want to intervene, others don't dare to dare to dare if they don't want to, so they toss with these two fathers-in-law.
Therefore, under the wise leadership, warm care, and diligent mediation of Yang Gonggong and Liang Gonggong, the peace treaty between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty was successfully signed. Huizong, who got the good news, personally met with Brother Cha in his busy schedule, and the two sides recalled the long-standing brotherly friendship between the two countries in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, and then Brother Cha was obliged to sacrifice his life for the sake of his brother's righteousness in his drunkenness, and said a nonsense - the two countries are a brotherly state with a strip of land, and the Western Xia army is willing to accept the employment to help the Great Song Dynasty attack and suppress the traitor Ximenqing.
This remark just reminded the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty - yes! The western thieves have always been heavy on profits, so they just give them more money and silk silks, and get them to fight with Liangshan Ximenqing to the death, isn't it a ready-made way to drive the tiger and devour the wolf?
Brother Cha deliberately talked nonsense, but it caused the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty to be greedy and infatuated, and many things happened since then. There are sub-teachings:
If you want to catch it, indulge in the cunning, drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and be foolish. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
