Chapter 340: Li Yanxian Whips Zhao Gou (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
…
Li Cun and his own resourceful and highly professional civil and military officials and a group of strategists repeatedly deduced for a long time.
In the end, Li Cun decided to take Chen Hoop's proposal and send an elite team of no more than 300 people to infiltrate Xingyuan Mansion to rebel against Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army soldiers who participated in the mutiny, and then sent people to lead Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and others to detain Zhao Gou and the heads of the Western Song Dynasty, so that the Western Song Dynasty was leaderless, and at the same time sent troops to the west again to destroy the Western Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
This strategic strategy is actually very risky, especially the elite squad sent to Xingyuan Mansion, they can be said to be full of danger.
Like, can they sneak into the Xingyuan Mansion located in the hinterland of the Western Song Dynasty smoothly and in time?
Like, after they infiltrated the Xingyuan Mansion smoothly and in a timely manner, could they smoothly and timely recruit Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army soldiers who participated in the mutiny?
The key is that after recruiting Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song soldiers who participated in the mutiny, can you lead Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song soldiers who participated in the mutiny to hold Xingyuan Mansion City (that is, it was renamed "Lin'an City" by Zhao Gou and the capital of the Western Song Dynasty)?
The key is whether or not the cadres can penetrate the Sichuan-Shaanxi region after holding Lin'an City.
Undoubtedly, the members of the elite squad, if one is counted as one, will definitely take huge risks, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are dying.
Chen Hoop was the first to stand up, saying that the idea was his, and he was willing to lead the team to infiltrate Xingyuan Mansion.
Li Cun considered that Chen Hoop Bucket is cautious and resourceful, with high qualifications and prestige, and more importantly, Chen Hoop Bucket is decisive and decisive in case of trouble, and is a very suitable candidate to lead the team.
Li Cun and Chen Hoop Bucket have been inseparable for so many years, so they naturally know Chen Hoop Bucket very well, and know that since Chen Hoop Bucket took the initiative to take this trip, it means that Chen Hoop Bucket really wants to draw a successful end to his career as a strategist.
Therefore, Li Cun was not hypocritical, and directly agreed with Chen Hoop to lead the team.
The soldiers of the Song army who participated in the mutiny such as Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan who had no brains, and fought wits with Zhu Shengfei and other civil and military officials of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty to preside over the overall situation of Lin'an City, Chen Hoop must have no problem.
But is this commander fighting?
That's not what Chen hoop bucket is good at.
Professional things have to be done by professional people.
Therefore, Li Cun can let Chen Hoop Bucket preside over the affairs of Xingyuan Mansion, but the Song army soldiers who led Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Chen Hoop Bucket to surrender will hold Xingyuan Mansion, and turn Xingyuan Mansion into at least Lin'an City into a nail firmly nailed to the heart of the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, so that the hundreds of thousands or even millions of men and horses in the Western Song Dynasty will be leaderless and will persist until the cadres and troops penetrate the Sichuan-Shaanxi region.
Li Cun has a lot of generals who are good at guarding.
Like Zhao Han'er, Zhang Goudan, Wu Jue, Zhao Li, Chen Yu, Wang Yu, Zhan Du, etc.
Even if it is only the generals who are good at defending Bianliang City in Tokyo, there are many generals, and there are even many generals who are both offensive and defensive.
Moreover, as soon as Li Cun asked who was willing to go to Xingyuan Mansion, he immediately stood up and asked for nearly 100 generals.
This includes Wu Jue and Zhao Li, the two absolute generals under Li Cun.
In order to be able to get this glorious and arduous task, many generals said that if they could not complete the task of defending Xingyuan Mansion, they were willing to come to see Li Cun.
That's just.
If they can't hold Lin'an City, then those of them who infiltrated Xingyuan Mansion will either die or surrender, how can there be any other way to go?
Therefore, Li Cun will not look at the determination they are showing now, Li Cun will look at which of them has the ability to be both wise and brave and unwavering willpower.
In this way, there are only five people left in Li Cun's eyes, that is, those who Li Cun thinks can be qualified for this task.
And among these five people, they don't even include Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Zhao Han'er and other leading generals in Li Cun's hands.
These five people are Wang Yu, Chen Yu, Zhan Du, Zhao Li and Li Yanxian, that is, the main generals who presided over the five major defense battles during the Two Song Dynasty.
Historically.
In the defense of Taiyuan, the food in the city has long been eaten up, even the bow and crossbow leather armor and chaff hay have all been eaten, despite this, under the leadership of Wang Yu, the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City are still in the food shortage, no reinforcements, the soldiers and civilians in the city have been killed and injured eight or nine times out of ten, and the Jin soldiers continue to reinforce Taiyuan City, Taiyuan City still held on for nine months before being breached.
In the defense of Zhongshan Mansion, under the siege of the Jin army, Zhongshan Mansion held out until the grain was eaten up, and the Song army defending the city was cannibalistic.
In the end, Chen Yu and 17 people in his family were all killed by the rebel generals, and the Song army lost its main general, so that someone opened the city gate and surrendered, and the Jin people finally occupied Zhongshan Mansion!
If you count from Chen Yu's takeover, Zhongshan Mansion held on for seventeen months, and if you start counting from the Zhan Du period, it is two years and two months.
(Other sources say that they held on for three years)
The defense of Hejian Mansion lasted longer than the imperial court, and even the emperor surrendered, but they still haven't surrendered.
If it is counted from the time when Chen Yu was the prefect, he also held on for 14 months.
(Other sources say that it lasted for two years)
In the battle of Shaanzhou, the Jin people besieged Shaanzhou many times in order to open up the connection between the east and west armies, and were defeated by Li Yanxian, and later the first general of the Jin country, Wanyan Lou Room and the general Zhe Keqiu, led an army of 100,000 to besiege Shaanzhou again, divided the army into ten armies, and attacked the city in turn, the battle situation was extremely tragic, and the words in the history books were described as: "The Jin people supply strength to climb together, although the dead and wounded are all over the ground, they dare not look back."
Later, because Li Yanxian could not wait for reinforcements, there was a desperate situation in Shaanzhou City, and the Jin army finally broke through Shaanzhou.
Even so, Li Yanxian still led the remnants of the Song army and the people in the city to fight to the death.
Wanyan Lou Room, who is rarely angry, was forced to be annoyed and angry by Li Yanxian and ordered the slaughter of the city.
And Li Yanxian, the whole family was killed by the Jin, he was seriously injured, and finally threw himself into the Yellow River and died.
The battle to defend Shaanzhou lasted for a year and a half, and more than 200 large and small battles were carried out, causing heavy casualties to the Jin army, and also gaining valuable time for Zhang Jun to gather nearly 200,000 Western Army for counterattack by Xuanfu of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
In the defense of Chuzhou, Wan Yanchang led the main force south to cut off the grain route of Chuzhou, and after the Song army ran out of food, they could only eat wild grass, aquatic grass and tree bark to satisfy their hunger, and even the tragic situation of "cannibalism among children" appeared.
The Jin army intensified the siege of the city, and Zhao Li commanded the battle at the city wall, and was killed by a flying cannon (stone thrower) in the head.
After Zhao Li was martyred, the Jin army actually thought that Zhao Li was killed, and did not dare to take the opportunity to attack, until more than ten days later, they entered the city, and the soldiers and civilians of Chuzhou still fought with the Jin army in the streets, but they were outnumbered, and finally Chuzhou fell.
The army and people of Chuzhou led by Zhao Li held out for thirteen months, killing and wounding tens of thousands of Jin troops, and even prompted Wan Yanchang to gradually transform into the lord and faction of the Jin State.
Now, these five extremely good generals are all in the hands of Li Cun, and there are four of them in Bianliang City, Tokyo.
And three of these four are also in the ranks of the war - only Wang Yu did not ask for war.
Among Zhao Li, Zhan Du and Li Yanxian, Li Cun was the first to exclude Zhan Du.
Does Jondo have the ability to do this?
The answer is yes, he, like Chen Yu, is the kind of comprehensive talent who is both civil and military.
However, one of the foundations of the political system established by Li Cun was the separation of civil and military families, and literati were not allowed to meddle in the army, and military generals were not allowed to participate in politics.
Zhan Du was born in a scholarly family, an official family of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and his grandfather Zhan Zhen served as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, and was named the Duke of Qi; His father, Zhan Wen, was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and he opened the palace with the three divisions.
Zhan Du, who was born in this kind of background, can only choose one thing in the civil and military affairs, and Zhan Du must be elected as a civil official.
Actually-
It's not that the separation of civil and military affairs is completely inflexible, and Chen Yu is not in charge of both civil and military affairs.
However, Chen Yu's situation is too special.
First of all, the two roads of Annan and Dingnan are really too far away, and they are really too far away to reach the Daqian Dynasty.
Secondly, Li Cun, who was poor and white at that time, really didn't have so many talents, so he was in a hurry to go back to the fire, so he could only hand over Annan and Dingnan to Chen Yu to manage.
The key is that Chen Yu sat in the southern frontier for the Daqian Dynasty for seven years, not only did he not let Li Cun worry about everything, but also listened to Li Cun's dispatch and Li Cun's instructions in everything.
In this case, Li Cun really has no reason to force Chen Yu to choose a side among the civil and military forces.
And now, the situation has not reached the point where Li Cun must let Zhan Du cross the civil and military, and Li Cun has a lot of talents in his hands, so there is really no need to make a second Chen Yu.
What's more, Zhan Du's performance on the battlefield is really good, but in the final analysis, he is not like Chen Yu, Wang Yu, Zhao Li, and Li Yanxian, who fought to the point of starving food, no reinforcements, and even fought to the point of cannibalism, and he would never surrender, so Li Cun was not very sure whether Zhan Du could resist pressure like the other four.
Therefore, Li Cun's favorite ones are Zhao Li and Li Yanxian.
In the end, Li Zheng chose one of Zhao Li and Li Yanxian and chose Li Yanxian.
This is not to say that Zhao Li is worse than Li Yanxian, but Li Cun doesn't want one of his generals to be too popular.
If a general is too popular, then it is not a good thing for himself or the court.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it; Heaps out of the shore, and the flow will be turbulent; Walk above men, and the crowd will not.
Zhao Li has made a lot of contributions over the years, and Zhao Li is still Li Cun's fellow villager.
In this case, if Li Cun didn't let Zhao Li stop and slow down, it might hurt Zhao Li.
This is just like Li Cunxue hiding Yue Fei at the beginning, it is a kind of protection for Zhao Li.
What's more, Li Cun also has to give those reliable newcomers some opportunities to get ahead.
Otherwise, it's not a good thing.
Moreover, Zhao Goujunchen used "unwarranted" to engage Liu Qi and Li Yanxian.
Under this premise, if the Western Song Dynasty died at the hands of Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, combined with the fact that the Miao Liu Mutiny was also constructed by Zhao, the world will say that the Zhao and Song dynasties should die, and Li Cun will fight without a way, which will make Li Cun stand on the moral high ground, and will also make it easier for the people in the Sichuan and Shaanxi regions to accept Li Cun's rule over them, and the key is that this can largely disintegrate the will of the Western Song army.
Think about it.
Liu Qi and Li Yanxian were also soldiers of the Western Song Dynasty, and they were soldiers who made great contributions to the Western Song Dynasty.
As a result, what did Zhao Gou Junchen do to Liu Qi and Li Yanxian?
Not only was his merit not rewarded, but he also framed Liu Qi and Li Yanxian in order to make peace with the Daqian Dynasty, and even tortured Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, trying to bend them into a trick, but they almost didn't beat Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to death.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it.
What happened to Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, how could it not make the soldiers of the Western Song Dynasty feel cold, or even rebel.
Therefore, Liu Qi and Li Yanxian themselves are the two big killers against the Western Song Dynasty.
As for Li Cun's letting Li Yanxian preside over the military and defense work of Xingyuan City, many people stood up to express their opposition.
There is no need to ask why these people oppose it, Li Cun also knows that the reason why these people oppose Li Yanxian to preside over the military and defense work of Xingyuan City is because they are not worried about Li Yanxian.
Be.
Li Yanxian performed well during the period of surrender.
But Li Yanxian's so-called performance is good, but when he was fighting the Jin and Xixia people, at most, he easily wiped out some pro-Song forces, and from beginning to end, Li Yanxian never really faced the Song army.
Who dares to guarantee that Li Yanxian can really hold up a butcher's knife when facing the Shang Song army, especially against his former comrades-in-arms in the Shang Song army, will he release the water while fighting? Just like Guan Yu guarded Huarong Road in history.
Li Cun did not let these opponents say that they would definitely hurt Li Yanxian, and immediately directly appointed Liu Qi as the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu and the commander of the Song army, and made Liu Qi the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty.
Seeing that Li Cun not only asked Li Yanxian to preside over the military and defense work of Xingyuan City, but also asked Liu Qi, who was in a similar situation to Li Yanxian, to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty.
Many people who felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Great Qian Dynasty to complete the great unification, and that there must be no mistakes, came out one after another to persuade Li Cun:
"Your Majesty, the matter is very high, please think twice before you act on personnel appointments!"
"The minister recommended Zhao Dutong to go to Xingyuan Mansion, and Wu Dutong served as the envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi!"
"The appointment of the coach is not in a hurry, why don't I wait for the next thing to be discussed?"
“……”
Li Cun understood the distrust of Liu Qi and Li Yanxian by the group of civil and military ministers under his command.
Let's not talk about Liu Qi and Li Yanxian's identities not long after they joined the Daqian Dynasty.
It is only said that except for Li Cun, others don't know that Liu Qi is a general who can be compared with Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jue, and they don't know that Li Yanxian defeated Wanyan Lou, the first general of the Jin State, in history, and fought the glorious defense of Shaanzhou.
Therefore, it is normal for them to worry that Li Cun will hand over such a heavy burden to Liu Qi and Li Yanxian.
It is understandable, but Li Cun will not change the decision he has made because of this.
This is not because Li Cun is conceited, but because Li Cun has confidence in Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, and at the same time, Li Cun also firmly believes that using Liu Qi and Li Yanxian to give the final blow to the Western Song Dynasty is the best choice.
In addition, Li Cun also did not have the intention of completely subduing Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, two generals with unlimited potential.
Therefore, after patiently listening to all the ministers' suggestions, Li Cun still said: "Okay, don't discuss this matter anymore, I have made up my mind, let's discuss the next topic." ”
The civil and military officials of the Daqian Dynasty all knew that Li Cun was not dictatorial easily, but once Li Cun was dictatorial, it was unquestionable.
Many generals looked at Liu Qi and Li Yanxian with envy and even jealousy, not knowing how they could make Li Cun so blue-eyed to them, and even willing to bet on them on the unification of the Great Qian Dynasty......
