Chapter 185: Three Sentences
In the evening, the last vestiges of the sun on the horizon disappeared, the earth entered a hazy state, and it was about to fall into darkness after tea time, and Long Guangning, the emperor of Dasong, who had just had dinner, was spinning like a top in the vertical arch hall, obviously he was very anxious.
Of course he was anxious, he was waiting for Li Dangchen. It's going to be dark, why haven't you come back yet, he said he rushed back before going into the dark.
The matter of Hu Bing's invasion of the south from Shiquan County, Ankang Prefecture, was discussed at the court meeting today. As expected, although everyone scolded the Donghu people for being untrustworthy and shameless, most of them just suggested that Shiquan should stick to it, and then send an envoy to Donghu to "talk about the number", and only a few people suggested that they should fight back and send an envoy to claim compensation.
However, today Long Guangning behaved very toughly, not only rejecting the proposal to stick to the peace talks at the court meeting, but also summoned the resident envoy of Donghu on the spot to severely reprimand him, and demanded that Donghu immediately withdraw his troops and compensate. Otherwise, Dasong will take decisive action.
What is decisive action? Of course, he destroyed the invading enemy, and then went all the way north to Jingzhao Mansion.
Long Guangning did not take anyone's advice at the court meeting this time, and acted directly and willfully, acting in full accordance with the strategy discussed with Bi Jiyu last night, demanding that Donghu withdraw his troops and compensate, and also told Donghu's resident envoy in a gambling manner that if Donghu could not meet Dasong's requirements, the public would not only fight back themselves, but also unite with Beimeng to give Donghu a north-south attack.
After the failure of Han Qixuan's Northern Expedition, Long Guangning has always been "following the flow", basically making decisions on the government according to the advice of the Lord and the faction, today is the first time in so many years that Long Guangning acted arbitrarily, but he didn't expect that no one objected, which was really unexpected.
In fact, this is also easy to understand, the emperor, the emperor is powerful, do the officials still dare to be coerced? Although it is said that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty will not be beheaded, but Long Wei is on top, so he has to save a little face.
The most important thing is that Long Guangning's decision this time was not completely unresponsive to the advice of his ministers. His decision-making can be said to take into account the strengths of each family. The main peace faction asked to send an envoy to negotiate peace, and Long Guangning really wanted to send an envoy, but the negotiation of peace turned into blame and compensation.
The main battle faction demanded an all-out counterattack and went north directly to enter the Hu realm, and Long Guangwei's decision was also adopted, claiming that if Donghu did not withdraw his troops and did not compensate, Da Song would completely annihilate the Hu soldiers who entered the country and enter Jingzhao Mansion.
The decision is such a decision, but it is not to achieve the goal, then you have to do it to know.
The main peace faction and the main battle faction are actually factions that have continued for a hundred years in the Dasong Dynasty after the invasion of Donghu South, and among the two factions, whether it is the main war or the main peace, there may be traitors. But it is certain that most people are patriotic, but the way of patriotism is different, but the political views are different. Therefore, in the hearts of both the main peace and the main battle faction, they are hateful to Donghu. Therefore, when someone proposed the elimination of Hu by the United Mongolians, the majority of the two factions actually supported this policy.
Although Long Guangning did not explain it today, he had hinted to Hu that if Donghu did not withdraw his troops and did not compensate, Da Song would join Mongolia to seize Hu. The proposer may be uneasy and well-intentioned, but most of the people in both factions want revenge. Therefore, since Long Guangning had this intention, everyone did not object and agreed with Long Guangning's decision.
"Your Majesty... Mention that Lord Dian is back....... Long Guangning was still spinning in circles, and Xiao Tailin suddenly entered the newspaper.
"Biography... Fast pass ....... Long Guangning was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Your Majesty... Remind me that adults are tired... Exhausted... When I returned to Lin'an, I fainted ....... The little eunuch replied sadly.
"Huh? Where is Li Dangchen? Tell the Imperial Doctor... Go... Spread my word of mouth, and let the imperial doctor immediately treat Li Ti ....... Although Long Guangning knew that Li Dangchen was tired, the best way was to let him rest well.
However, the military situation was urgent, and Long Guangning was eager to know if the demon had returned, and he did not agree to bring people to suppress Hu Bing.
The envoy to Donghu had already set off during the day, but there was no one to send to suppress Hulong Guangning, but he only ordered Lizhou Road to pacify the envoy to resist the enemy with all his might. Of course, it's not good for him to say too strong things at the court meeting, and the total annihilation of Hu Bing is what he wants to do, but he can't say it until he does it. Otherwise, he will be killed by the Lord and the faction.
"Your Majesty... The emperor's ministers are back ....... Before the little eunuch could retreat, Li Jiangchen's weak voice came from outside the hall.
"Ahh Li Qing woke up... Fast... Come on in. Long Guangning was overjoyed, and actually ran to the gate of the palace to wait.
This is equivalent to the emperor's personal welcome, it is a grace to the great meritorious, but Long Guangning can't take care of it.
Stompe!
There was a sound of footsteps, and the two little eunuchs used a door panel to carry Li Dangchen, who was "I breathe", into the vertical arch hall.
"Huh? Li Qing... You okay....... Long Guangning stopped Li Dangchen, who was about to turn over and salute, and said, "Qing is exempt... Waiver ....... ”
"Your Majesty... Wechen is so tired... So... So it can only be rude. Li Dangchen struggled and said.
The emperor can't sit when he sits on his courtiers, and the emperor can't lie down when he sits on his courtiers. The emperor didn't say flat, the courtiers had to keep saluting, the emperor didn't say to sit, even if the courtiers stood until their legs were numb, they could only stand.
According to research, the courtiers in ancient times were very stable, comparable to Lian Jiazi. This is because they have to stand for several hours every day, and they have been standing like this for many years and months than those who practice the exercises.
Why have so many eunuchs become martial arts masters in all dynasties? The first is that they have a lot of time to practice and have no distractions, and the second is that they "go to work" every day to stand on the pile, which practitioner in the world has the longest time they have to stand on the pile?
"Qing has worked hard, lie down and say." Long Guangning was a more enlightened emperor.
"It's... Emperor....... Li Dangchen glanced at the little eunuch standing next to him and motioned for the emperor to let them out.
Long Guangning understood, waved his hand, and the little eunuch in the palace retreated.
After the little eunuch left, Long Guangning directly let go of himself, ignoring the image of the emperor, and sat directly on the ground to listen to Li Dangchen's report.
Li Dangchen struggled to sit up, hugged his fists and bowed to Long Guangning and said: "Your Majesty, the minister rushed all the way last night, five people and ten horses, and after running down the horses, he finally arrived in Mingzhou as scheduled. ”
"After running more than 300 miles in one night, Qing is like a flying general." Long Guangning naturally knew that it was tiring to run more than 300 miles on horseback in one night.
"It is the duty of the ministers to share their worries for the emperor...... Li Dangchen modestly continued, "Master Kanshan said that he would not lead troops, and his identity was not suitable. ”
"Well, I knew he was going to quit, so does he have anything to say?" Long Guangning said very disappointedly.
"Yes, he asked Weichen to bring three sentences to the emperor: after breaking off, he will flank the thief army, make Hu Yan Lianmeng claim compensation, and the true and false joint secret communication will show the good Shuangnanban." Li Dangchen clasped his fists to Long Guangning again and said, "Your Majesty, I understand everything else, what does he mean by Shuangxinanban?" ”
Long Guangning repeated what Li Dangchen had brought back, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
He said happily: "Unexpectedly, this demon's opinion coincides with General Bi Lao. However, General Bi is old after all, and although he gave me an idea, he didn't give me a way to realize it. But this demon didn't even tell me the way. After breaking the siege of the thief army, well, the soldiers are dangerous, send out a surprise army to block their retreat back road, and then the front and rear husband ....... ”
At the same time, he sent an envoy to reprimand and claim compensation, if the Donghu people did not follow, then pretend to unite with Beimeng. Haha, okay, okay, I just want to get justice like this and breathe a sigh of relief, for a hundred years, the Donghu people have bullied me too much, it's time to settle the score. Long Guangning muttered to himself, very excited.
"Your Majesty... Emperor... What about the third sentence? Li Dangchen wanted to figure out what the third sentence meant, and he thought about it all the way.
"Hehe, the third sentence is the most important, not only referring to this matter, but also a strategic direction. Okay, okay, this demon really has a different brain. Long Guangning was very happy, but he just didn't say what the third sentence meant, and made Li Dangchen die in a hurry.
The true and false joint secret passage shows that the Shuangnanban, which Li Dangchen has never understood, actually refers to the Xixia Kingdom and the Xifan Tribes. Mahanshan asked Long Guangning to adopt a vague strategy, courting Donghu and Beimeng, and at the same time reconciling with the southwestern states such as Xixia, Xifan and Dali. Since Dasong was invaded by Donghunan, the surrounding countries want to take a bite of Dasong's fat, and even the small countries that only called Dasong the king have been called emperors. But for so many years, Da Song could only look angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Mahanshan's meaning is to let Long Guangning first reconcile with the surrounding small countries, and then secretly communicate with the two sides of Beimeng and Donghu, and use the interests of Beimeng and Donghu to balance the two strongest neighbors.
Long Guangning deeply understood the meaning of Ma Hanshan, but Li Dangchen couldn't understand what Shuangxinan Man was, let alone why the secret passage song was.
In fact, the most important thing is the trick of secretly communicating with the song, so that both Donghu and Beimeng think that Da Song is friendly with him, so as to gain time to enrich their treasury and strengthen their army.
"Anything else? That's all the evil man said? What about people... And what about those who come after them? He didn't say? Long Guangning said anxiously.
The combination of true and false and secret communication is strategic, and the subsequent conclusion is tactical, and whether or not the strategic goal can be achieved, we must first solve the tactical problem. After that, not everyone can do it.
"There's... Yes... Master Kanshan nominated a person, and he said that Meng Liangheng could be qualified for the task of breaking off the follow-up, and giving him the commander-in-chief of the anti-enemy would definitely be able to destroy these thousands of Hu soldiers. Li Dangchen didn't believe it, so after finishing speaking, he glanced at Long Guangning and said, "Your Majesty, Meng Liangheng is the fourth son of General Meng, he can't do martial arts, he hasn't been in politics yet, he hasn't led soldiers, he... Can it be done? Chen felt that the master of the mountain might be wrong...... ”
"Haha, good... Wonderful... This is indeed a very good candidate, let Meng Liangheng be the commander-in-chief, there will be no controversy between the two factions, and the Lord and the Lord, like you Li Dangchen, think that Meng Liangheng is not good. And the faction of the main battle, they believe that Meng Zhong will not be a rice bucket after that, and they believe that Meng Zhong will send capable people to help ......, well, wonderful. Long Guangning shouted wonderfully, in fact, he knew better that it didn't matter whether Meng Liangheng could do it or not, because, if Meng Liangheng was sent to fight, he Ma Hanshan would definitely help him secretly, others? He will definitely not give credit to others, this kid is really a master of business, no matter what he does, he never forgets his own interests.
