Bianliang.

Song Zhi is not a horse god king, Daqi has been peaceful for more than 120 years, he has no attainments in military affairs, only knows what a Taiping emperor should know.

After many years on the throne, his mind was also on internal affairs, and he planned day and night to suppress the centralization of the family, and the only thing he devoted more energy to military affairs was to let the defense envoys recruit displaced people to form a new army.

For Song Zhi, the preparation for the construction of the new army of defense was more concerned with the two aspects of power and money and food. He didn't have to pay attention to the process of the new army's conquest, but only rewarded and punished according to the results.

But the national war reached the current situation, Yanping City was lost, and the territory of Hebei was also in the hands of the enemy, and the Great Qi army could not defeat the Beihu army, and the catastrophe of the country suddenly became a practical problem in front of him.

Since he hit Bianliang, Song Zhi has almost been unable to deal with military affairs.

The famous military books throughout the ages are within the scope of his study, and the talented generals and generals of the Manchu Dynasty also enter and exit the Qinzheng Palace twice in three days for inquiry.

Although the time he spent in Bianliang was not long, Song Zhi was gifted and intelligent, coupled with the teaching of many generals, and the fact of the national war as a reference, his understanding of military affairs was rapidly increasing.

It's just that the more he knows about the war, the more worried he is about this national war.

At the beginning of literacy, when you have knowledge, you can see and think about problems, and ordinary people can't see or think of problems, and only those who are ignorant can be fearless.

Song Zhi now feels that ignorance is also a kind of happiness in many cases, and he will be less worried.

"There are two things that I still can't figure out thoroughly, when did the Tianyuan barbarians control and even annex the Khitan and Jurchen tribes? Why can there be so many cultivators of the Northern Hu Barbarians? Looking through the history books, this is something that has never happened before, why can they have such power now?"

In the Qinzheng Palace, Song Zhi, who looked tired, put down the "Liutao" in his hand, rubbed his sour eyebrows, and asked Han Zhao, the deputy governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion sitting in the hall, in a low voice.

These days, he spent the most time asking Han Zhao for military lessons.

These two problems, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, are the fundamental reasons why the national war has become the way it is, not only Song Zhi is puzzled, but also the government and the opposition are not much discussed. Now that Zhao Xuanji is not in the center of Jindi, Han Zhao presides over the daily affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and shoulders heavy burdens, and he often thinks about it.

"Back to Your Majesty, at least six years ago, the Tianyuan barbarians controlled the Khitan and Jurchen tribes. Han Zhao said this quite affirmatively.

"How so?"

"Back to Your Majesty, in the sixth year of Qianfu, Zhao Ning was intercepted and killed on the way to Yanmen Pass, and then a series of behind-the-scenes people were involved.

"At that time, it seemed that Yanyan Temur's appearance in Daizhou might indeed be envious of the prosperity of my Daqi city and sneak out to play. But when Yanyan Temur's spy matter was dug up and the national war had broken out, it can be seen that the things of that year were by no means simple. Han Zhao said in a deep voice.

"How easy is it?"

"The reason why Yanyan Temur brought the two Wang Jijing to Daizhou back then was probably to deal with Zhao Beiwang and his wife in Yanmen Pass, and even all the high-level generals!" Han Zhao said with murderous intent in his eyes.

Song Zhi fell silent.

Han Zhao glanced at him, and continued: "The current national war has proved that the Zhao clan, who is the first general of my Great Qi family, does have the strength to guard the border against foreign invaders. What the Tianyuan barbarians did back then was a real precaution! What Chen didn't expect was that they would act so early. ”

Song Zhi sighed, "How did I ever think of it?"

After the battle of flattening the grassland at the beginning of the dynasty, for more than 120 years, the Beihu tribes have been paying tribute to the Great Qi every year, and they are respectful, and in the situation of the sixth year of Qianfu, the possibility of Xiao Yan coming to Daizhou to play is greater than the possibility of daring to murder the generals of the Zhao clan in Yanmen Pass.

But this is not to say that Xiao Yan's movements to Daizhou are not suspicious, after all, she is followed by two Wang Jijing. Afterwards, the Zhao clan was sparse and spoke of the evil intentions of the Tianyuan tribe, and Song Zhi was indeed suspicious of the Tianyuan tribe, and he also took action.

He sent Feiyuwei to the grassland secretly, and went deep into the Khitan, Dadan, and Tianyuan departments to investigate the situation, looking for clues that the other party might be unfavorable to Daqi.

If the grassland tribes led by the Tianyuan Department really wanted to murder the Zhao generals at Yanmen Pass, intending to invade Daqi, they must have internal war preparations, even if it was still early, at least they had to pay close attention to military training.

But Flying Fish didn't find anything.

At that time, Song Zhi didn't know that Feiyuwei's actions had already been noticed by Tianyuan Prince Meng Chi, and he made corresponding arrangements, which made Feiyuwei return in vain.

For Song Zhi at that time, Feiyuwei did not find evidence, so there was no need for him to send troops to recruit the Tianyuan Ministry. In the context of suppressing the family and recovering the authority of the military, Song Zhi did not want the Zhao family to use this to exaggerate the war and set off a war.

In the end, he sent 30,000 soldiers to Yanmen Pass to strengthen the defense force of Yanmen Pass, on the one hand, for the sake of everything, and on the other hand, to pave the way for An Siming to go to Yanmen Pass to divide the power of the Zhao family.

At the time, it seemed that this response was sufficient.

There was indeed no problem after the Yanmen Pass, and in the battle of Fengming Mountain in the seventh year of Qianfu, the Yanmen army also won.

Now it seems that Song Zhi's handling of Yanmen Pass is not improper, but his understanding of the wolf-hearted ambitions of the Tianyuan Department is greatly insufficient. However, taking a step back, even if Beihu was faced squarely at that time, what could Song Zhi do?

Xiao Yan's exposure in Yanping, coupled with the Battle of Fengming Mountain, made Song Zhi regain his defensive heart for the grassland in the peaceful season after a lapse of more than 100 years.

Although the fundamental purpose of Song Zhi was to divide the power of the family and promote the pace of centralization, in fact, in the past few years, the military strength of Daqi has actually been steadily rising.

But as soon as the national war broke out, wasn't Wang Shi still defeated?

The internal problems of Great Qi are so great that unless Song Zhi can foresee and know everything, and decisively abandon the mission of the centralized Great Qi Emperor, regardless of the drastic reforms, it is impossible to block this round of onslaught of the Northern Hu army.

The strength of both sides is there.

As early as today, Song Zhi had already reacted that when Feiyuwei entered the grassland, he was derelict in his duty and misguided the country, but at this moment, he could only say that he had never expected all this, because Feiyuwei was sent by him, or his henchman.

Then the second question comes, on the frontal battlefield, it has always been not the opponent of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it can only plunder the borders of the Dynasty.

"The minister has a word, and he doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

Before trying to answer this question, Han Zhao stood up and asked Song Zhi to forgive him for his sins.

The Governor said bluntly. Song Zhi motioned for the other party to sit down.

Han Zhao organized the language for a while, and said slowly: "Since the national war, the army of the three roads of Beihu has only led the prince and the virtuous king, and the Tianyuan Khan has not appeared. This is a situation that should not have happened, has Your Majesty ever wondered why?"

Without waiting for Song Zhi to answer, he continued: "The minister thinks that it is not that Tianyuan Khan cannot appear, but in his opinion, there is no need for him to appear now, just the prince and the virtuous king are enough to lead the Beihu army to attack the city and plunder the land, and defeat my Great Qi king!"

"Your Majesty asked why the Beihu army was so strong, and the minister could only think of one reason, that is, Tianyuan Khan was extremely extraordinary!"

Song Zhi groaned and asked, "How extraordinary is it?"

"The posture of heaven and man!" Han Zhao gritted his teeth and said these four words.

Song Zhirao was mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but change his face when he heard these four words.

Tian Yuan Khan is the posture of a celestial man, so what is he? These four words obviously have another meaning, that is, the realm of heaven and man! Song Zhi is now only in the middle of the Wang Ji realm, how can he compare with the Tian Yuan Khan?

In this world, the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty has always been the lord of the world.

Although this is said by the Central Plains Dynasty itself, the reason why it can have this kind of self-confidence and domineering is because of the support of strength, it is an invincible battlefield victory, and it is a strong army that terrifies foreign races in all directions!

Now if Song Zhi, the emperor of Great Qi, admits that the lord of the grassland is stronger than him, has the strength to ride on his head, and is proud of the emperor of the Central Plains for thousands of years, how can he accept it?

Han Zhao saw that although Song Zhi's face was not good-looking, he did not mean to be angry, so he straightened up and said with courage: "The saint is out, and the Quartet is flat."

"My Central Plains Dynasty can shock the four seas and make all nations submit to the Hajj, because the sages have the strength to dominate the world, under their education, the Central Plains has produced many talents, thousands of years of accumulation, profound heritage, and heroes everywhere.

"For so many cultivators to appear in Beihu, and so many Wang Ji realms to appear, it must be Tianyuan Khan who is a genius of Tianzhong! Only in this way can he improve and create top-notch exercises and raise the realm of courage under his command!"

Speaking of this, Han Zhao got up and bowed to the ground, his voice full of pathos, heartache, and helplessness:

"Your Majesty, the strength of Tianyuan Khan, I am afraid that it will far exceed our previous expectations, and the late stage of Wang Ji Realm is only the bottom line. If the minister's expectations are not bad, I am afraid that the other party is the first heavenly and human realm on the grassland in history, please Your Majesty to be clear!"

Song Zhi sat there in a daze, unable to say a word for a long time.

The saint is out, and the square is flat.

The Central Plains people are outstanding, so there are countless sages, relying on their legacies - the cultivation of exercises, the ten wonders, the righteous doctrine of the vehicle, all kinds of classics, the encyclopedia of sweat and cows, the handicraft skills that spread the world, etc. - the Central Plains Dynasty has always been the most powerful dynasty in the world.

But the Central Plains has not seen a saint for a long time.

In the past thousand years, the number of heaven and man realms has become smaller and smaller, after the fall of the Great Qi in the Kai Dynasty, Mo said that there is no heaven and man realm, before Zhao Xuanji, there was not even a late stage of the king pole realm.

If there is a saint-like figure in the grassland, the Central Plains Dynasty is undoubtedly in danger.

If the grassland people occupy the Central Plains, and the lord of the grassland becomes the emperor of the Central Plains and rules the land of Shenzhou, what face do Song Zhi and others have to meet the ancestors and ancestors?

Children and grandchildren are not good.

The descendants have not been so disgraced, so that the saint's heart has collapsed so much, and the sages have been humiliated to this point, but I am afraid that they cannot be called human beings.

"Governors, get up. ”

Song Zhi got up and left his seat, came to Han Zhao, and helped him up with his own hands.

There had never been a moment when he felt such profound powerlessness and pain as he did now.

There had never been a moment when he felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders like now.

As an emperor, the most unacceptable thing is not that the people of Li suffer and the officials are not appeased, but that they have lost their position in the Ninth Five-Year Plan. In order to maintain their dominance, the ruling class will not have any moral burden no matter what ordinary people do to protect their house wealth.

As the most powerful person in the world, the entire country is governed by the Song Dynasty, in order to ensure that the throne is not threatened by anything, strengthen the centralization of power, and eliminate all the existence of the world that threatens the throne, no one can stop it.

As long as the goal of the Song family can be achieved and not replaced by other people within the dynasty, it is not a big matter to have more suffering people and some unimportant civilians die in the process.

When will there be no dead in the world?

When does no one suffer in the world?

But if the Central Plains Dynasty and the ancestral foundation are occupied by foreign races, Song Zhi will not only be a sinner of the Song family, but he will also become a sinner of all Han people, leaving a hundred generations and being scolded by all Han people for thousands of years!

Song Zhi couldn't afford this crime.

"If you want to be outstanding, you must be spiritual, the Central Plains Dynasty can have countless saints and sages, it is the great rivers and mountains, the grassland is barren and barren, there will definitely be no saints in the world, and Tianyuan Khan will not be so terrible. ”

Helping Han Zhao up, Song Zhi's face was no longer disgraced, and this sentence was also said with extra confidence, full of confidence and unquestionable meaning.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and the ministers are also worried about the overall situation of the national war, so they have spoken in vain, please forgive your Majesty. Han Zhao replied seriously, saying that he absolutely did not doubt Song Zhi's assertion.

Song Zhi must have this assertion, and Han Zhao must also agree with this assertion.

If the government and the opposition knew that Tianyuan Khan was such a terrible person, even the emperor and the deputy governor were jealous, and there was nothing they could do about the other party, and the morale of the people would be greatly frustrated.

At this time, no matter how much attention they attached to Beihu in their hearts, Song Zhi and Han Zhao must unify their thinking and caliber, and still call the Tianyuan tribe mustache and little barbarian, so that the soldiers and civilians of Daqi can continue to maintain their psychological superiority over Beihu.

Under this sense of psychological superiority, everyone will not feel that Beihu is invincible, and will firmly believe that the final victory will belong to them, so that they can bravely kill the enemy and would rather die than give in.
