Chapter 722: It's time to plant wheat at the autumn equinox
Chu Yange's arrival did not alarm the others, after sensing the breath deliberately released by the other party, Yao Ruoyu drove out of the camp as soon as possible, welcomed Chu Yangge into the tent, and ordered someone to call Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai.
When Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai arrived when they heard the news, Chu Crazy Ge explained his intention.
It turned out that the sudden large-scale attack of the Yuan Dynasty in the Dawen city-state had alarmed the Great Song Dynasty, and the civil and military officials argued endlessly, and the party led by Su Shi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Ouyang Xiu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Zhao Tingzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, wantonly attacked Wenbang, especially the rumors of Yao Ruo's foolish plot, and they said that they had noses and eyes, and determined that Dawen was a rebellion, and advocated sending troops to pacify Sichuan and Chongqing.
Especially after Guan Ji fled back to Hangdu in embarrassment, he added fuel and vinegar to describe Yao Ruoyu's arrogance and domineering, and the huge court hall was even more like an explosion, and even the Ministry of Criminal Affairs Shangshu Bao Zheng and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wen Tianxiang faintly supported Vawen.
Fortunately, Yue Pengju sent back the news from the north and strongly supported Dawen, and at the same time, Qin Hui was also abnormal, and actually stood on the same front as Yue Pengju, and suppressed everyone's proposal to cut down Wen.
Just when the wind was surging in the court, Wang Anshi, the secretary of the ministry, suddenly proposed to join forces with the Dawen city-state and go north to attack the Yuan.
For a few days, almost all the high-level officials of the Great Song Dynasty were involved in this matter, and the dispute continued, until finally Chu Yangge and Yang Ji sent back the idea one after another, so that the court dispute was completely concluded.
Lianwen!
Knowing that Chu Yangge was here because the Song Dynasty was going to join forces with Wenbang again to go north to attack the Yuan, Yao Ruoyu and the three of them had different expressions.
Chu Yangge didn't stay long, and after discussing with everyone that the Song Dynasty would send troops north in half a month, he turned around and left.
When Chu Crazy Song stayed away, Yao Ruoyu silently unfolded the sword domain to shield the handsome tent, and then frowned: "What does the Song Dynasty think?"
"Who knows. Shaking his head, Xu Xuanrong was also puzzled.
It stands to reason that in just two years, the vitality of the Song Dynasty damaged in World War I has recovered at most fifty or sixty percent, and its national strength is far from being able to support a large-scale war again.
Song Kai pondered for a long time, and suddenly frowned: "The first person to support us was Wang Anshi, Brother Yao, are you familiar with him?"
"How can it be familiar?" Yao Ruoyu smiled dumbly, "I'm quite familiar with his poems." ”
Song Xu, who has experienced various recitations of ancient poems in later language classes, is both Waner.
"Since we have no affection for him, then why would Wang Anshi do such a thing that clearly supports us?" Yao Ruoyu doubted.
Song Kai pondered silently, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Who of you knows how old Emperor Song is now?"
Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, thought about it, and hesitated: "When I went to Hangdu before the first Hundred Schools' Forum, it seemed that I was only eight or nine years old, but now that five years have passed, I should be almost fourteen years old." ”
Xu Xuanrong suddenly came to his senses and said in surprise: "Brother Kai, what do you mean ......?"
"Well, most of the time," Song Kai's pupils were deep, like a pool of deep water, "At the age of fourteen, he is already sensible in this era, Qin Xiang controls the political arena, and the three princes with different surnames are in charge of military power, all of which are roles of high meritorious, if you want to get back the military and political power, you must either purge internally, or fight externally to lose the power of the three kings and Qin Xiang." ”
"He is only less than fourteen years old, and even if there are some loyal old ministers, they definitely don't have the strength to dare to make a move against Qin Xiang and the three kings. Yao Ruoyu shook his head and said.
"Since this is the case, there is only one guess," Xu Xuanrong frowned slightly, "Wang Anshi proposed to cut down the Yuan under the command of Emperor Song, so that the military strength of the two princes of Chu and Yue will be depleted, as for the ...... of King Yang"
Song Kai said lightly: "If nothing else, at the same time as the Yuan, the Song army on the southern front will also launch an offensive against the Southern Barbarians." ”
"This is playing with fire!" Yao Ruoyu touched his chin and smiled dumbly, "If you don't play well, wouldn't it be easy to play with fire*?"
"The struggle between the emperor and the powerful ministers is playing with fire!" Xu Xuanrong said with a smile.
Since the Song Dynasty would launch an offensive against the Yuan Dynasty in half a month, Yao Ruoyu and others decided to capture Xianyang first, and then hold on here, waiting for the next reinforcements to arrive.
*——*——*——*
"Oh, the Song Dynasty wants to join forces with us to attack the Yuan?"
In Diaoyu City, Yuzhou, hearing the news from the messenger, Deng Yitong raised his eyebrows, waved his hand to signal the other party to retreat, and then turned to look at the other people in the room.
Tai Lieutenant Chu Jiang, Deputy Minister of War Han Derang and Xiao Hou, Wu Jianzhi, Master of the Military Family, Zou Buyi, Lord of the Tianxiang Mansion, plus Deng Yitong himself, the six of them are all accomplished in the art of war and are not shallow.
"There seems to be something wrong within the Song Dynasty. Zou Buyi said with a smile.
Han Derang smiled, lowered his head and continued to look at the sand table, Wu Jianzhi was holding a pen and was working hard to write, Xiao Hou and Chu Jiang talked in a low voice, as if discussing some local details.
Turning back to the sand table, Deng Yitong said in a deep voice: "Half a month later, it will be time to start a war against the Yuan Dynasty, and we must finish this plan before then." ”
"It's almost there," Chu Jiang frowned when he heard this, and said with a smile, "We have spent two years before to make the framework, and now there are only some details that need to be improved." ”
It is said that Huaxia has been peaceful for two years, but under the calm shown here, there is a hidden turbulence.
Two years ago, under the leadership of Deng Yitong, Chu Jiang, Zou Buyi, Song Kai, Xu Xuanrong and others jointly conceived a bureau, a layout that included the three key points of swallowing the barbarians, cutting the Yuan, and resisting the Song Dynasty.
Although there are many people joining forces, it is difficult to integrate because of the different characteristics of the people's strengths, so this plan has gradually fallen into a bottleneck during this time, until the arrival of Wu Jianzhi, the master of the art of war, that everyone's specialties are gradually integrated.
Seeing that the hair on Wu Jianzhi's forehead was already gray, Deng Yitong was silent for a long time, and finally did not go over to dissuade him, and said lightly: "Deputy Han, where is Wusizang ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, Han Derang had already understood and replied, "There are already 30,000 people at present. ”
Deng Yitong bowed slightly, and said solemnly: "The war with the Yuan Dynasty is imminent, it's time to dispatch them." ”
"Just let them go to Xianyang?" Xiao Hou asked.
Shaking his head, Deng Yitong picked up a wooden pole and pointed at the sand table, and said solemnly: "This is one of our hole cards, naturally we can't expose them at will, let them go north and enter Lanzhou through Xining." ”
Chu Jiang realized something, and said: "Lord Wang, they have almost killed the Yuan army in Gansu when they went north this time, and Ali Hague has also withdrawn. ”
"Then let them wait in Lanzhou for the opportunity to enter from northern Shaanxi?" Xiao Hou asked.
Deng Yitong nodded, not wanting Wu Jianzhi to suddenly slap his pen at this time, raised his head and said, "Let them go to Ningxia." ”
"Ningxia?" Han Derang was stunned when he heard this, suddenly came to his senses, stroked his palm and smiled, "Lord Deng, this is trying to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Yuan Dynasty to capture Ningxia?"
Nodding, Wu Jianzhi said softly: "After half a month, the Song Dynasty will go north, and the attention of the Yuan Dynasty will be attracted to Shaanxi, Henan, and Shandong, and the defense of Ningxia will naturally be empty." ”
"Although Ningxia has a small area, it can clamp the roads in northern Shaanxi, regardless of the war in the future, at least we occupy this northern Shaanxi. Deng Yitong also woke up.
"More than that," Wu Jianzhi was talking, suddenly coughed violently twice, and the corners of his lips overflowed a little bloodshot, but he naturally picked up a handkerchief and wiped it, and continued, "The occupation of Ningxia, coupled with the land of northern Shaanxi, means that we have opened up a passage to the grasslands of northern Xinjiang. ”
"Master, do you want to enter the grassland?" Deng Yitong was stunned and frowned, "But with my current strength, ......
"Isn't there still a big song?" Wu Jianzhi shook his head, raised his hand and nodded on the sand table, Deng Yitong immediately understood after seeing it.
"Use those arrangements to help the Song Dynasty speed up the attack," Wu Jianzhi's eyes were deep, and he said indifferently, "In this way, just like the fire steaming oil, the oil is hot and fast, and the speed of the fire will also increase." ”
"When Mongolia went south, it seemed that they took advantage of the emptiness and surprise of the northern border of the Song Dynasty to plunder, but in the final analysis, the national teachers of the Yuan Dynasty seemed to have deliberately created a situation in which both Song and Mongolia were defeated, and delayed the time for Song Wen to join forces with Meng after the destruction of Jin for several years. ”
Pondering what happened back then, Wu Jianzhi said in a deep voice: "I don't know what he is planning, but since his position in the Yuan Dynasty is still stable, it means that the high-level officials of the Yuan Dynasty have already known about this matter, but it is precisely this that shows the horror of his secret plan." ”
"The Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty used these two years to recuperate and recover, but that person also used these two years to plan a lot, two years is not long, not short, maybe this person's layout has reached a critical moment, in this case, the sooner the Yuan Dynasty is mobilized, the sooner he can expose that plan. ”
When everyone heard this, they first didn't believe it, and then they thought for a while, and they all showed a little frightened look.
If it weren't for Wu Jianzhi's words at this moment, everyone would not have thought that 800,000 Mongolian iron horsemen planned to go south, but in the end only more than 100,000 people returned.
Deng Yitong sighed and said, "No wonder Master, you asked me to support King Wen to send troops to northern Shaanxi, it turned out to be to persecute the national teacher of the Yuan Dynasty?"
"Why didn't you talk to the Song Dynasty in your early years?" Han Derang wondered.
Laughing helplessly, Wu Jianzhi said softly: "Do you think I didn't say it? But who believes it?"
Everyone was silent when they heard this, and after a long time, Zou Buyi said slowly: "The Song Dynasty is attacking rapidly, and my Dawen has opened up the passage into the grassland...... Mr. Wu is worthy of being a military master, and Zou Buyi admires him. When he finished speaking, he was already deeply moved.
Wu Jianzhi accepted this salute calmly, and said with a smile: "You are just fans of the authorities, Wu is idle and wild, and the natural perspective is different. ”
Four hours later, the door of the house suddenly opened from the inside, Deng Yitong rushed out of the house with Wu Jianzhi, who was coughing up blood and fainting, while Chu Jiang, Han Derang and others crossed the threshold with heavy steps, standing under the eaves and staring at the backs of the two.
After a long time, Chu Jiang suddenly sighed, and said to Han Derang and Zou Buyi: "The plan has been decided, this time the northward expedition is all thanks to the two of you, the old man is already old, so he and Deputy Minister Xiao are waiting for you to return from the victory in Dawen." ”
Han Derang and Zou Buyi returned the salute, and then turned around and left quickly.
On this day, the autumn equinox, the weather is cool and it is the right time to plant wheat.
Mai is the three major dynasties of China.
