Chapter Ninety-Six: The Battle of Jinliao
Ouyang explained to Huilan: "That's what I did before, I will choose four shrewd and bold people here, two in the state and two in Beijing." Whenever possible, an edition is published every four days. Don't write bad things, sing praises first, what Cai Jingjing blows, and the Western Army Tong Guan, I will let people go to the interview quickly. The general meaning is that the people are very good, the officials are very conscientious, and the emperor is also wise and martial. ”
Whelan shook her head and said, "My lord, I don't quite understand why I don't tell the truth. ”
"At present, we need to expand the influence of the newspaper, and once the royal newspaper penetrates into the people, we can slowly tell the truth." Ouyang said: "Now to tell the truth, people directly banned the newspaper. ”
"Eun, I see. Your Excellency is really far-sighted. ”
"Meaningless, I want to find a way to find a few more people to go to Jin and Liao to find news." What is far-sighted, this is the practice of referring to CCTV, and it has become the central newspaper first.
"My lord, someone in the yamen is looking for you!" Bai Lian reported outside.
"Okay, I'll go over here."
……
It was Wang Mai who was looking for Ouyang, Ouyang let him go to the inner room, and the two sides said politely, Wang Mai said: "I just came back, and I heard that the adults have come back, so I came to visit." Boss Xiao still thinks that the adults are in Jinguo. ”
"How's business going?"
"Except for the racecourse, everything else is average, not to lose money, but not to make much."
"It's because you made too much money, but the little money is not eye-catching, right?" Ouyang smiled: "Actually, that's it, if you are luxurious, there must be someone more luxurious." watched a company that made money, who didn't have hot eyes. So I asked Siu to focus on horse racing. This thing is already famous, and people will just queue up at us. Is there any news about the Jinliao War? ”
"Yes! Ah Guda led 20,000 elite soldiers and prepared to attack Liaoxi. Emperor Tianzuo personally led an army of 700,000 to attack Huanglong Mansion and then wipe out Aguta. I heard that Agu turned his troops and prepared to use 20,000 men to fight a decisive battle with 700,000 Liao troops. ”
"20,000 vs. 700,000?" Ouyang was surprised, could it be that because of his appearance, Ah Gu beat an idiot?
"Adults don't know, these days Linhuang Mansion mobilizes ordinary, and the generals who are good friends with the small ones say that the Jurchens only have more than 30,000 soldiers now, and this battle is bound to be a battle of fish and death.
"En......" Ouyang sighed, this golden defeat is okay, in case Jin wins won't he suppress Song Yifen again? Why does Ouyang think Kim will win? Nonsense. This history is still known. It's a pity that I'm not in Liao, otherwise I will definitely make a war bet, and then I will make a profit. After all, the Liao people want to press themselves to win.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ouyang said: "Have a good rest, you have half a year of entertainment." ”
"Yes! The little one quits. ”
……
Major international news: The Emperor of Liao personally marched 700,000 troops, and the Emperor of Jin raised 20,000 Jurchen elites!
This newspaper has just received the news that Emperor Tianzuo mobilized 700,000 troops from the north and south to directly take the Huanglong Mansion, and the Jurchen leader Wanyan Agu personally raised 20,000 elites. At present, the battle is unknown, according to people familiar with the matter, this victory is minus 55. Liu Huilan, a reporter from this newspaper and deputy editor-in-chief of the Royal Daily, interviewed Ouyang Ou on this matter.
Lord Ouyang immediately affirmed: "The Liao army will be defeated. ”
Reporter Liu asked him: "Master Ou, why do you say that 700,000 can't beat 20,000?" ”
Ouyang said calmly: "There are 700,000 soldiers in Liao, and there is no one in a hundred who have experience in fighting. The people can be comfortable, but if the army is comfortable, the country will be destroyed. Looking at the 20,000 Jurchen people, there is no one who is afraid of death, and everyone is a battle-hardened soldier. ”
"Is that all?"
"I heard that the county is in turmoil in Liaoning. The emperor was not alone in the power of the army. This army is outside, and there are ministers or kings who hold troops inside, and I am afraid that there will be turmoil inside. It is not terrible for a person to have external injuries, but the most terrible thing is to have internal injuries. If there are both internal and external injuries, it is a miracle if it does not fall. ”
The reporter of this newspaper also interviewed a senior expert, the king of Guangyang County, who leads the Privy Council and is now the supervisor of the Western Army. Tong expressed surprise at the scale of clashes at the border. After looking at the situation of the two armies in the past, the victory or defeat of the two armies believed that the Jin people were more than they won with less. And the Liao people do have a suspicion of unclear orders. But to say that 20,000 people can defeat 700,000 is unbelievable.
The reporter of this newspaper asked: "Master Tong, if Song, Liao, and Jin each send 100 people to kill each other, who will be able to win?" Please note that all remarks are bound to be presented to the Emperor. ”
Tong Guan thought for a long time and replied: "Jin will win, and he will win with one enemy and two." ”
The reporter asked again: "If there are 100,000 gold soldiers going south in the future, will my Great Song Dynasty be able to resist?" ”
Tong Guan said: "If there is really a day, the old minister will definitely do his best and die." ”,
"Master Tong, what I'm asking is, can you be able to beat it?"
Tong Guan thought for a long time and said: "That's all for today's interview, the old minister is busy with military affairs, so he will not receive it." ”
The reporter of this newspaper also interviewed the famous general Fangzhou Observation Envoy and the Fengning Army Chengxuan Envoy and the general of the planting division. The seed master was born in a family of generations of generals, and his grandfather Chong Shiheng and his brother were both famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty.
When the general was interviewed, he said: "Liao is a tiger, but one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers." Jin is a wolf, if you don't come out, it will be enough, and once you come out, you will inevitably attack it. In the end, Jin has a 20% chance of winning, if it is as Lord Ouyang said, his domestic discord, Jin has a 70% chance of winning. As for your question, if the 100,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom go south...... The last general is old, and the sons are all mediocre and inactive, and there is no handsome talent in the army. The last general thinks that it is a top priority, and it will be better to store a good one. ”
"What is a good general?"
"You can attack and defend. Know the enemy and know yourself, cherish the soldiers. Although the strength of a hundred people dares to break through the array of ten thousand enemies, although the strength of ten thousand people dares to avoid the front of a hundred enemies. ”
The reporter wondered and asked: "I know the former, the latter ......"
"The former is a fierce general, and the latter is a great general."
The reporter of this newspaper also interviewed Yao Gu, the envoy of the system, on this matter, but he did not think that Yao Gu did not take the emperor in his eyes at all, and let his family coax him out if he did not agree with each other.
……
Zhao Yu received the newspaper and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Jiang Zhiqi, who knew the Privy Council, was the first to say: "Wechen didn't know that Huanglong had such a big battle......"
Zhao Yu said angrily: "I didn't ask you if you had this matter, I asked you what you think." "I didn't say that you were useless, but I found my own scolding.
"This ...... In ancient times, there were many cases of winning more with less, but there was no precedent for 20,000 men defeating 700,000 men. Weichen thinks that what Master Tong said is extremely true. My Great Song Dynasty forbidden army and horses are not fully prepared, and the battle of 100 people will naturally suffer, but 20,000 Jurchen will defeat 700,000 Liao people, it is really ...... It's not something Wechen can imagine. ”
"Stand down!" Zhao Yu's face was a little difficult to look at Cai Jing: "Cai Xiang? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers lead the prime minister, and the duty is to restrain hundreds of officials and govern the world. Frontier warfare is beyond the reach of ministers. Your Majesty should listen more to the views of the Privy Council. However, the minister believes that since the victory or defeat is unknown now, it is better to wait for the results to come out before making calculations. ”
The head of the Privy Council said: "What Cai Xiang said is extremely true, if Liao wins, we don't have to negotiate the gold, if Jin Sheng, we not only want to negotiate the gold, but also to discuss Liao." The situation is unclear now, and it is indeed difficult to decide. ”
"Yes, that's right." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "By the way, Yao Gu will be sent to Beijing to take up his post." ”
Cai Jing bowed his head and replied: "Yes!" ”
