Chapter 238: Zhao Huan: I want to capture Li Cun alive! (Ask for a commuter pass!) )

As soon as the 8,000 cavalry of the Western Army led by the Seed Master Dao was accepted into Bianliang City in Tokyo, Li Bangyan sent someone to send an edict warning the Seed Master: "The imperial court has negotiated peace with the great cadres, and those who dare to speak out will be exterminated!" ”

For Li Bangyan's warning, the seed master didn't care, he said in his heart: "The alliance under the city, how can it be peaceful, and dare to speak and make peace?" ”

The age of the cultivator was too old, and because of the old injuries on his body, his body was a little unbearable after riding this horse.

But the master still insisted on not taking a sedan chair into the palace, but insisted on riding a horse to the palace.

The seed master Dao did not see Zhao Huan first, but first met Li Bangyan and the others.

Li Bangyan and the others warned the Seed Master Dao again, asking the Seed Master Dao not to destroy the peace they had created with great difficulty, and then took the Seed Master Dao into the palace to meet Zhao Huan.

In the Funing Palace, the seed master Dao met Zhao Huan, the new emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty, for the first time.

Seed Master Dao didn't feel very good about Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan has high cheekbones and a narrow Yin Hall, which is typical of narrow-mindedness, bitterness, and selfishness.

The key is that Zhao Huan is too young.

Seed Master Dao was very worried that Zhao Huan would not be able to manage the helm of the giant ship of the Zhao Song Dynasty, which was in the midst of a storm, because of his lack of experience.

But when the master thought about it, Li Cun was about the same age as Zhao Huan, and he didn't rise up strongly, seizing half of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun that the Han people had not been able to recover for more than 200 years.

Thinking of this, the seed master couldn't help but have some confidence in Zhao Huan.

"The minister's rescue is late, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins, now the minister has arrived, and Your Majesty has no worries."

As soon as the seed master said this, Zhao Huan was so moved that he wanted to cry.

For a long time, the group of ministers around Zhao Huan almost did not understand military affairs, even Xu Churen, but he only knew a little about it.

Zhao Huan felt that it was because of this that he was bullied by Li Cun to such a point.

Now, the veteran breeder is here, and he said something like "Your Majesty is worry-free" that made Zhao Huan feel warm in his heart, Zhao Huan had a feeling that a child who had been bullied had finally waited for his parents to help him fight.

Zhao Huan repeatedly comforted the planter several times, and then asked: "Old Aiqing, will the plan be released?" ”

The planting master Dao will have thought of a long time ago to deal with it and come out: "The minister thinks that it is not a matter of calculation." Eighty miles around the capital, how can it be encircled? The city is more than ten zhang high, and it has been supported for several years, and it cannot be attacked. If you set up a fortress in the city, and refuse to do so outside the city, and wait for the army of the king of Qin, you will not exceed ten months, and the enemy will be in trouble. ”

Listening to the words of the seed master, Li Bangyan immediately spoke up: "I don't know that the cadre army is fierce and has sharp firepower, and the city wall on the west side was blown up in the first battle, and the high city of the capital was like paper paste under the attack of its firearms. ”

It's really not clear about this matter.

But even so, the master still said: "The city is dead, the people are alive, now my 200,000 Qin King's army has arrived, hundreds of thousands of troops inside and outside the city are showing the trend of horns, if the cadre army is attacking the city, then the army outside the city will be saved, and the cadre army dares to attack the city with all its strength like before?" ”

At present, the Song army that arrived at the foot of Bianliang City in Tokyo to come to King Qin, in addition to the western army of Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road led by Seed Master Dao and Yao Pingzhong, there are also Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong of Yanyan Road, Wang Yang and Ma Qian of Huanqing Road, Qin Feng Road Seed Division, and the Fuzhou soldiers led by Zhe Keqiu and Zhe Yanzhi and other Qin Wang's divisions, in addition to Liu Guangguo, Yang Kesheng, Li Bao Zhulu soldiers and horses, known as 200,000 people, and most of them are Western troops who can fight well.

plus the division of Jingdong and Jingxi Qinwang led by generals such as Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong.

Plus the original Song army in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Don't look at the cadres and the army, 40,000 or 50,000 reinforcements have also come twice before and after.

But in terms of troops, it was the Song army that had a greater advantage.

But—

If we take into account the strong combat power of the cadre army and the sharpness of the firearms of the cadre army.

In fact, the Dao of the Seed Master did not have the confidence of Li Cun.

After all, since Li Cun's debut, he has never been defeated in a battle, and he is truly invincible.

The key point is that the Song army actually did not have the huge advantage of defeating the cadre army.

Therefore, the seed master Dao pulled the words back: "However, my Great Song Dynasty has made peace with the Great Qian, and it is not good to completely deny and abolish it." For today's plan, gold and silver are counted with it, and if it is still good, it will be a battle! As for the cession of Hebei and Hedong, Baozhou is where the ancestral mausoleum is located, and it is not appropriate to cede it. ”

Zhao Huan felt that what the Seed Master Dao said was very reasonable, and then asked the Seed Master Dao to discuss specific countermeasures with Li Bangyan and the others.

When he came to the capital, the seed master Dao immediately turned to Li Bangyan: "The capital is the first fortified city in the world, why does the prince only fight and make peace?" ”

Li Bangyan replied: "The country has no soldiers, and the cadres and troops are looking at it, and the capital was almost broken in the first war, so peace was negotiated. ”

The planter said: "War is war, and defense is defense." War needs soldiers, and if there are people who know how to fight, you can form a strong combat force. At that time, only His Majesty needed a holy decree, and all those over the age of sixteen and under the age of fifty were soldiers, and they were issued with weapons, and then divided into pieces and groups to guard them. There are millions of people in the capital, Su Zhi has been in charge for several years, and the armor is complete, with this method, even if there is no army of one million, there are 800,000 troops, what is the meaning of no soldiers? ”

Li Bangyan defended: "I don't practice martial arts, and I don't know that there is such a method." ”

The seed master smiled: "If the public doesn't practice martial arts, wouldn't he have heard of the ancient offensive and defensive matters?" ”

Li Bangyan was speechless.

The seed master asked again: "At that time, when I heard that the enemy was coming, why didn't I order the people outside the city to clear the wilderness and withdraw into the city. ”

Li Bangyan defended: "At that time, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to clear the wilderness, so I only built the wall. ”

The planter smiled again: "I'm so panicked, so panicked." ”

The generals on the left and right of the Seed Master Dao all laughed.

After laughing, the seed master said: "The gold belt under the public waist is untied and handed over to the enemy, if the enemy asks for the public head, what should the public be?" ”

Li Bangyan and other Zai Zhi made the seed master speechless, and some people even looked ashamed.

After Zhao Huan heard about this, he immediately appointed the seed master Dao to concurrently serve as the inspector of the school and the secretary of the Privy Council, and soon appointed him as the proclamator.

At the same time, Li Cun also learned about the process of entering the city of the Seed Master.

Li Cun first swept the colonel who chose to retreat in the face of the 20 cavalry Western Army with 100 horsemen to the end, and beat him with 100 military sticks.

-- Li Cun can tolerate the defeat of the officers and men of the cadre army, but he cannot tolerate the officers and men of the cadre army fleeing without a fight, and his own strength is still five times that of the other side, so what reason is there for him to leave without a fight?

Then Li Cun swept the direct commander and supervisor of the battalion infantry army that was broken by the planting master to the end, and the rest of the generals related to the battalion, including the capital commander and capital supervisor of the Yanshan Central Army where the battalion was located, were all demoted three levels from top to bottom.

As long as you fight with your heart, it is definitely impossible for the 8,000 cavalry of the Daoist Department to enter Bianliang City in Tokyo without even a single hair, so this battalion infantry has a big problem, and since it has a problem, Li Cun must have to perform major surgery on it.

After this, Li Cun ordered to shrink his forces and no longer besiege the city.

——Li Cun just took this opportunity to show weakness to the Zhao and Song dynasties, and prepared for the future fishing of big fish.

After Zhao Huan heard that the Qianjun was no longer besieging the city, he was ecstatic, he hurriedly called the seed master Dao, and laughed: "He is afraid of Qing's reason." ”

However, the cultivation master Dao became more and more vigilant in his heart, and felt that Li Cun's shrinking of troops must have a profound intention.

After leaving the palace, Chongshidao immediately sent several brave soldiers of the Western Army out of the city to capture three cadres and soldiers back.

The Seed Master Dao ordered one of the three soldiers of the cadre army to tell the truth of the cadre army.

But this cadre soldier did not say anything about death.

The planter ordered the man to behead the cadre soldier who did not obey his orders in front of the other two cadre soldiers.

He asked the second soldier the same question.

To the great surprise of the planter, this cadre soldier actually closed his eyes directly: "I just want to die quickly." ”

When the planter heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.

Seed Master Dao has tortured many people in this way in his life, and this is the first time that someone can not be afraid of death after seeing his companion being killed.

The seed master thought to himself: "I can make the pawn so fierce and not afraid of death, Li Cun governs the army, I might as well be more." ”

At this moment, the seed master couldn't help but think: "Can you still have the surname Zhao in this world?" ”

The Dao of the Seed Master is already seventy-six, and his willpower is firm, so it is naturally impossible to have the mind of changing the court.

Therefore, the seed master Dao quickly suppressed this distracting thought and ordered the killing of this cadre soldier whom he admired very much.

He looked at the third cadre soldier and asked the same question.

The third cadre soldier also wanted to die like the first two cadre soldiers, and he stammered: "I just want ...... Just for speed...... Quick ......"

The third cadre soldier could not say the word "death."

Seeing this, Yao Pingzhong said to Yang Kesheng next to him: "If this person dies, there will be nothing, his parents have nothing to rely on, his wives and concubines are all others, if he has children, it will be even more miserable, and his surname will be changed, tsk~"

Hearing Yao Pingzhong's words, the third cadre soldier couldn't hold back, and then he kowtowed three times in the direction of Qingcheng, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty, Li Mo is useless, greedy for life and afraid of death, blessed with the emperor's grace!" ”

After kowtowing to Li Cun, Li Mo sat on the ground as if he had lost his soul, and said silently: "Our army wants to fight, especially Zhao Li, who is deeply ashamed of not breaking Bianliang City last time, and has asked the emperor several times not to negotiate peace, he will definitely be able to break Bianliang City, and the morale of the whole army is also high, and the grain and grass are also sufficient, but the emperor does not call for fighting, saying that war is for political service, and achieving political goals is the ultimate goal, and not asking our army to fight a meaningless war, so our army will not ......fight Bianliang City at your fingertips."

After listening to Li Mo's words, the wrinkles on the face of the old man became deeper.

Subsequently, the planter ordered the two beheaded soldiers to cut the stomachs of the two beheaded soldiers to test the food in their stomachs.

As a result, the bellies of the two soldiers were full of rice, fish, and vegetables.

From this, it can be concluded that there is certainly no shortage of food among the cadres, and it is still abundant.

Soon after, Zhao Huan ordered that the Privy Council should be signed by the Seed Master, the Xuanfu Envoy of the Beihe Tokyogi, and Yao Pingzhong should be the commander of the Xuanfu Division, and the Xuanfu Division would unify the command of the Western Army and the division of the Quartet Qinwang.

At the same time, Zhao Huan also transferred the two front and rear armies outside the city that were originally subordinate to the Xingying Division to the command of the Xuanfu Division.

According to Zhao Huan's meaning, he actually wanted to hand over all the soldiers and horses to the command of the Seed Master.

However, this aroused strong opposition from a group of rulers led by Li Bangyan.

In the end, Zhao Huan listened to the advice of Li Bangyan and other rulers, and also asked Xu Churen to command the soldiers and horses in the city, and specially issued a holy decree to let Xu Churen and the seed master Dao not belong to each other and contain each other.

Seed Master Dao and Xu Churen were very disappointed in this, and the two of them also gave birth to some estrangements because of this.

How Xu Churen adjusted the city's defenses will not be said for the time being.

It is only said that after the cadres and troops shrunk their strength, the division of the king outside the city was concentrated, and then it was divided into two villages, one in the southwest and the other in the northeast, while the cadres were in the northwest and southeast, and the two sides were in a state of confrontation.

A few days later, in a place called "Banqiao" in the west of the city, a skirmish broke out between the cadres and the Song army, and under Li Cun's personal instructions, the cadres were deliberately defeated.

That night, the seed master Dao sent an army to surprise attack the Qianjun army and set fire to Ma Jian Dongkuo.

The next night, Li Cun ordered the cadres to retreat five miles to avoid the Song army.

After these two events, the prestige of the Seed Master Dao among the Song Army reached a new high, and Zhao Huan also expanded more and more, but Xu Churen, who was quite beautiful before, began to become lonely.

In addition, the soldiers and horses controlled by Xu Churen were only the left, right, and middle armies under the Chengzhong Xingying Division.

Compared with the Xuanfu Division of the Seed Master Dao, Xu Churen's authority in the Xingying Division is almost gone.

In order to show his existence, Xu Churen found an opportunity to say: "I have more than 200,000 troops in the army, and there are 100,000 troops in the city. ”

After a pause, Xu Churen said again: "For today's strategy, if you divide your troops to recover the northern provinces, you will attack them if you ride out, and you will attack them with heavy troops in the thief camp, and do not fight against the strong walls, such as Zhou Yafu who is the one who conquers the Seven Kingdoms." As soon as he was short of food and tired, he took an oath to restore Hebei and Hedong, and then returned to him, and then attacked it halfway, and this plan was also a victory. ”

Seed Master Dao also believes that Hebei Hedong can not be ceded, otherwise there will be endless troubles, so he also said: "Tong Yao Gu led Xi and passers-by to arrive, our army does have the strength to fight with the cadres, Hebei Hedong is the border of the country, and it is where the ancestral tomb is located, it must not be cut, and it is better to increase the number of coins to delay the army, otherwise there is only one war." ”

Zhao Huan thought so.

However, the peace faction headed by Li Bangyan was full of doubts and worries about the Zhao and Song dynasties' desire to tear up the peace treaty they had negotiated with great difficulty and take the initiative to attack the Daqian Dynasty.

Li Bangyan and other advocates of peace believed that it was too risky to take the initiative to attack the Qianjun, and that if the army of the Zhao and Song dynasties could not defeat the Qianjun, then all their previous efforts would be in vain, and the Zhao and Song dynasties would also suffer a catastrophe.

Therefore, Li Bangyan and other people who advocated peace fought the basis of reason and advised Zhao Huan not to take risks.

But Zhao Huan thought about the grievances he had suffered before, and he felt guilty, and he fantasized that if he could defeat Li Cun, then his regime would be stable, and even this might become the cornerstone of his eternal emperor.

As a result, with the support of Zhao Huan, the main battle faction won a complete victory this time.

Later, this controversy spread out somehow, causing heated discussions and even arguments among the Zhao and Song courts and people from all walks of life.

Actually-

All this was caused by Zhao Huan.

During the previous period, due to the lack of troops here in Tokyo, Zhao Huan was afraid that Bianliang City in Tokyo would fall and that he would become the king of the fallen country, so he adopted the suggestions of Li Bangyan and others to negotiate peace, and was keen to negotiate peace.

At that time, Zhao Huan could be said to be doing everything possible to loot gold and silver, hoping to spend money to cut land for peace.

And now, more than 200,000 Qinwang's troops have come, and many people such as Yao Gubu are still on the way, plus the men and horses in Bianliang City, Tokyo, which is twice as many as the cadres in the Gyeonggi area.

The key is that the famous general of the Western Army is here, which makes Zhao Huan feel that he has stood up, and no one can bully him, the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty, anymore.

Therefore, Zhao Huan is now keen to start a war against Li Cun, hoping to defeat Li Cun and do what his father Zhao Ji did not do, and save his lost reputation.

Zhao Huan went from unscrupulous means to peace, to a 180-degree change, and became bent on competing with Li Cun, although the speed of his transformation was fast, but it was not against human nature and basic logic.

But the problem is that after Zhao Huan moved the idea of starting a war with Li Cun, he immediately became impatient.

Originally, Seed Master Dao and others had already set up a strategic strategy and were preparing to launch an attack on the cadres on the 6th of next month.

The reason why the Seed Master Dao and others chose this day to send troops is that a Yin and Yang family calculated that on the sixth day of the second lunar month, "Li Xingshi"; Secondly, by February 6, Yao Gubu, one of the main forces of the Western Army, and other Qinwang divisions should have arrived at Bianliang City in Tokyo, so that they could be more sure of the Dao.

But Zhao Huan's mind is now full of Li Cun blackmailing him, the emperor, and occupying his two sisters, and the key is that the world will spurn him because of these things in the future.

Therefore, Zhao Huan desperately wanted to defeat Li Cun, be ashamed, and even take revenge.

Therefore, Zhao Huan sent his inner servants to find the Seed Master Dao five times a day, and asked the Seed Master Dao if he could send troops in advance and fight the cadres to the death?

But the master who has fought all his life, knows that fighting is not a child's play, and the opponent is Li Cun, who is like the god of war, and he doesn't know if he can win the battle when he goes all out, not to mention that the soldiers and horses have not all arrived and fought in such a hurry?

Therefore, the seed master Dao firmly rejected Zhao Huan's naïve thoughts, and still according to their pre-planned plan to wait for the arrival of the master of King Qin such as Yao Gubu, and then fight this national war with Li Cun when the Zhao and Song Dynasty reached its peak.

The performance of the "cowardly" of the seed master made Zhao Huan very disappointed!

Zhao Huan thought, obviously there are so many more troops than Li Cun's army, why can't he find Li Cun for revenge?

Zhao Huan was very unwilling.

Therefore, Zhao Huan pinned his hopes on Yao Pingzhong, the commander of the capital.

Yao Pingzhong is the representative of the young generals in the Western Army, he is brave and good at fighting, as early as when he was eighteen years old, in the battle with the Western Xia Zangdi River, he won a large number of Western Xia people, and became famous in a war, and the heroes of Guanzhong respected him and called him "Little Taiwei".

But Yao Pingzhong was too unruly, so he was not liked by Tong Guan, who was in charge of the Western Army at that time, and was suppressed by Tong Guan for a long time.

Fortunately, Yao Pingzhong is the adopted son of Yao Gu, and the Yao family is one of the best military families in the Western Army, and has great influence in the Western Army.

This is why Yao Pingzhong has not declined, and now he has become the commander of the capital at a young age.

Yao Pingzhong is very grateful to Zhao Huan, who vigorously promoted him.

Therefore, Zhao Huan summoned Yao Pingzhong into the palace to play right, and after learning that Zhao Huan wanted to start a war against the cadres in advance, Yao Pingzhong followed Zhao Huan's words and said: "The soldiers all want to fight quickly." ”

Hearing Yao Pingzhong say this, Zhao Huan was overjoyed, feeling that he had finally found the right person, or a young man like him had courage, and the Dao of the Seed Master might be too old, so old that he had lost his sharpness.

But although Zhao Huan was about to die of joy in his heart, he still suppressed the joy in his heart and said to Yao Pingzhong: "However, Xuanfu doesn't want to fight quickly. ”

Yao Pingzhong knew that the Seed Master Dao did not want to start a war immediately, and he must have the concerns of the Seed Master Dao, and he still believed in the judgment of the Seed Master Dao.

But Yao Pingzhong didn't want to disappoint Zhao Huan, let alone lose the opportunity to win Zhao Huan's favor, so he immediately said: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to knock on the camp at night, capture the emperor alive, and welcome the two emperors back." ”

This is exactly what Zhao Huan wanted to hear, and he immediately promised Yao Pingzhong: "If you succeed, you should be awarded a thrift." ”

Zhao Huan asked the warlock Chu Tianjue to calculate which day was suitable for robbing the camp on the same day?

After Chu Tianjue's calculations, he believed that the day of victory was February Ding You, that is, the first day of the second month.

Therefore, Yao Pingzhong decided to lead his troops to attack the camp at night in early February.

Yang Kesheng, who carried out the camp robbery plan with Yao Pingzhong, said to Zhao Huan: "This trip is nine deaths, and I am afraid of losing the trust of the country to negotiate peace. ”

- Yang Kesheng is preparing that if he and Yao Pingzhong do not succeed in robbing the camp, he will take on the responsibility of tearing up the peace treaty for the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Yang Kesheng was so thoughtful and so responsible, which made Zhao Huan greatly moved, he felt that the Zhao Song Dynasty had such a general, how could it not be possible to turn things around? !

Therefore, Zhao Huan now firmly believes that Yao Pingzhong and Yang Kesheng will definitely be able to attack the camp successfully, capture Li Cun alive, and let him avenge his hatred......
