Emperor Daojun sat in the Huining Palace, threw the fold in his hand forward, and roared in his mouth: "Dare to attack the Western Army, this is a rebellion, this is a real rebellion!" ”

Everyone in the hall did not speak, lowered their heads and folded their sleeves together, either slightly closed their eyes, or looked at the temple bricks and wandered out of the world.

Emperor Daojun stood up from behind the case, grabbed Bai Yu Ruyi next to him and slammed the table: "Dumb?" Why are you all dumb? Give me an idea, get an idea! ”

Tong Guan coughed and said, "Official, the old minister thinks that this matter should be considered in the long run. ”

"Think long-term?" Emperor Daojun was furious: "This evil obstacle has already been done with the Western Army, how can you think about it in the long run?" ”

Tong Guan said: "The old minister looked at the seed master in the fold, and the king of Qin did not take the initiative to make a move, but could not pass through Qin Fenglu, so he hit the western army and ran to the Xihe River. ”

"Is there a difference? Did you tell me it made a difference? Emperor Daojun shouted, "What is he doing in Xihe?" Isn't it just going there to rebel! ”

Tong Guan sighed and said: "Official, the king of Qin has not raised the anti-flag now, nor has he announced the world, this matter is still two words, not to mention that when Qin Feng passed over, it was still the flag of the imperial court......"

"Shut up!" Emperor Daojun roared: "He is here to cross Qin Feng Road, and it is for his own convenience!" ”

Tong Guan didn't dare to speak anymore, and Li Bangyan spoke: "Your Majesty, Yichen Yuzhi should immediately let Qin Fenglu transfer troops to pursue and prevent King Qin from being unfavorable to Xining Prefecture." ”

Tang Ke shook his head on the side and said: "Li Xianggong, what kind of foolish words are this, it was a few days ago, and now I give an order, don't say that Qin Fenglu's soldiers can't catch up, even if you directly give an order to Xihe, it's too late." ”

Li Bangyan said unhappily: "Can't you catch up with the eight hundred miles of urgency?" Then go directly to Xihe. ”

Tang Ke said in a light tone: "King Qin is bringing cavalry, and he has already entered the Xihe River now, and when he arrives at the Xihe River, the King of Qin is either already in Xining Prefecture, or he doesn't know where to go." ”

Bai Shizhong frowned at this moment and said: "A few days ago, the official family had a decree to pass, exempt the deputy protector of the Longyou Metropolitan Protectorate, and also ordered the Xining Zhizhou to strictly guard against the King of Qin. ”

He Li continued: "This will is the earliest, and it is possible to enter Xining first, but I am afraid of ......."

"What are you afraid of?" Emperor Daojun banged the table on it.

"The official family ......" He Lili said: "I'm afraid that Liu Suiyun, the deputy capital of Long, and the king of Qin have already communicated with each other, and the king of Qin is out of the capital, and Liu Suiyun over there is already unfavorable to Xining Prefecture!" ”

"Ahh Emperor Daojun almost jumped up when he heard this: "They dare, there are thousands of soldiers under the rule of Xining Prefecture, and Liu Suiyun is just a deputy capital protector, how can it be disadvantaged!" ”

He Li said: "Official, Xining has soldiers from the state capital, and there are also soldiers from Longyou, and the soldiers from Longyou account for half, and Liu Suiyun has also been operating in Longyou for a long time, if it is, if it is ......."

Emperor Daojun turned out from behind the table and said angrily, "What if? Those are all my soldiers, will they still rebel with the rebels and thieves? ”

He Li bowed his head and was silent, and Tang Ke continued: "Your Majesty, this matter is really hard to say, after all, Longyou is mostly a soldier, but this soldier is not so safe, and he may not be loyal......"

Emperor Daojun roared: "Then what do you say you should do?" If you can't catch up, and the will may not arrive first, isn't Xining Prefecture dangerous? ”

Tang Ke said: "Your Majesty, the minister can only try his best to remedy it at present, and give an order to Yao Gu through Xihe, let him directly send troops to Xining Prefecture, if there is a change in Xining Prefecture, it is just to quell the rebellion, if King Qin did not go to Xining Prefecture at all, then let him search in Xihe to see if he can find it." ”

It took a long time for Emperor Daojun to take a deep breath: "That's it, I will make an order now." ”

At this moment, Zhang Di outside bowed in: "Official, King Yun is in a hurry." ”

Emperor Daojun's expression changed when he heard this: "Where is it, show it to me!" ”

Zhang Di hurriedly submitted a letter, and after Emperor Daojun opened it, he looked at it from his head, his eyes gradually lit up, and he said to himself: "Okay, it's really good, King Yun is very heartfelt!" ”

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, and Emperor Daojun laughed out loud after putting down the letter: "King Yun has made a great contribution this time, and the negotiations with the Jin State have gone smoothly, not only have they made an alliance, but the Jin State has also promised not to increase the extra one-year-old coins that he asked for before!" ”

"King Yun is really talented, and he can talk about this matter!" Bai Shizhong exclaimed.

"The dragon and phoenix among the people of King Yun, Zhilan Yushu, the female straight person must be admired when she sees it, she is ashamed of herself, and she feels that her own request is unreasonable, and she has to exempt the year-old coin!" Li Bangyan said.

"King Yun strategized and won a thousand miles, this time it is a great contribution to my Great Song Dynasty!" Zhang Bangchang also said.

Emperor Daojun had a smile on his face and touched his beard: "It is indeed meritorious, it is indeed meritorious, at this moment the alliance has been completed, and it is time to send troops to attack the Liao State, and then let King Yun take command and go to recover the land of Youyan." ”

The ministers said yes one after another, and Emperor Daojun's eyes fell on Tong Guan: "Tong Aiqing, King Yun said in the letter that he had agreed with the Jin State to send troops at the end of the month, do you think there is any problem?" ”

Tong Guan was stunned for a moment: "Official, this ...... That's too hasty, isn't it? ”

Emperor Daojun wondered, "How to rush? ”

Tong Guan said: "Official, if you attack Liao, you must use the Western Army, but now the Western Army does not know the news of the upcoming expedition at all, and when the will is passed on, it is necessary to reorganize the army, and to prepare various things, and now there are not many days before the end of the month, I am afraid that it will be too late." ”

Emperor Daojun said disapprerovingly: "Since you have already made an agreement with the Jin State, how can you break your promise and let the other party look down on it, and tell the Western Army to hurry up and prepare!" ”

Tong Guan said with an embarrassed face: "Official, where is the ...... of the planter?"

Emperor Daojun waved his hand: "I have already asked Liu Qi to send a letter over there, but I am afraid that he will stubbornly refuse to lead the troops, but now I should have figured it out, Tong Aiqing doesn't have to worry." ”

Hearing this, Tong Guan secretly calculated in his heart, and suddenly said: "Official, since the Western Army was ordered to be reorganized on the same day, the Xihe Yao Ancient ......"

Emperor Daojun couldn't help frowning: "Xihe, Xihe......"

Tong Guan said cautiously: "The minister just calculated in his heart, there are still some men and horses left everywhere to guard against Western Xia, and there are only about 150,000 people who can be coordinated, but if an army is gathered on the Xihe side to besiege Xining Prefecture, I am afraid that there will be no soldiers on the front line of Zhenwu Army and Lanzhou, and Zhenwu Army and Lanzhou are the border land of Western Xia!" ”

Emperor Daojun was puzzled: "Do you need a lot of soldiers and horses to besiege Xining Prefecture?" ”

Tong Guan said: "King Qin took away more than 1,000 dragon guard cavalry, and there are still three or four thousand people in the Longyou Protectorate itself, if you plan for the worst, Xining Prefecture has been secretly taken by Liu Suiyun or King Qin, then plus the surrendered Xining defenders, there are almost 10,000 people in the hands of King Qin!" ”

"Nearly 10,000 people?" Emperor Daojun's expression changed: "How can there be so much?" If this is the case, how many soldiers and horses will be needed to recapture Xining Prefecture? ”

Tong Guan said: "Official, Xining Prefecture is the first male city in the Northwest Plateau, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, when the old minister attacked the ancient city of Qingtang and opened up Longyou, but he brought 100,000 military horses......

Emperor Daojun also recalled this, but his face was ugly.

"However, the current Xining Prefecture is not as good as the Qingtang at that time." Tong Guan continued: "At that time, there were more than 50,000 soldiers guarding the Qingtang Dynasty, and even according to the worst plan, the King of Qin would only have 10,000 people. ”

Emperor Daojun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How many military horses do you need to attack the city?" ”

Tong Guan said: "I need to get 30,000 ......"

Emperor Daojun's eyes widened: "How can you still have so much?" ”

Tong Guan sighed: "Official, since ancient times, it is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, not to mention that Qingtang is still the largest city on the plateau, if it is really lost to the King of Qin, with the good use of the knowledge of the King of Qin, it is a great luck that 30,000 can be recaptured." ”

Emperor Daojun's eyes hesitated: "The Zhenwu army and the front line of Lanzhou must not be empty to Western Xia, from this point of view, can't Xihe send troops to fight the Liao State again?" If Xihe doesn't send troops, how many soldiers and horses can the Western Army send? ”

Tong Guan said: "The number of Xihe soldiers is about the same as that of Yan Yan and Jingyuan, far more than Qin Feng and Huanqing, if Xihe does not send troops, the western army can only send more than 120,000." ”

After Emperor Daojun walked back to the imperial case: "Hedong, how much can be out of Hedong?" ”

Tong Guan thought for a while: "Hedong can send 20,000, Hebei can't send troops, we have to guard against Tian Hu, after all, once the war starts, maybe Tian Hu will take advantage of the fire to rob." ”

Emperor Daojun "poofed" and sat back on the dragon chair: "Is it just such a person?" Can't even get together 200,000? If Xihe doesn't send troops again, won't 150,000 people be able to get together? ”

Tong Guan said: "Official, that's exactly the case, and the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army should not be mobilized in large quantities, after all, this time is different from the conquest of Wang Qingfangla, it is in my Great Song Dynasty, and this is going to Liao, and the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army still has to protect Kaifeng." ”

Emperor Daojun was silent.

Tong Guan continued: "If you give the ministers time and send troops at the end of April, it will not be a problem to draw tens of thousands of people from the local forbidden armies, but the Jin country is a little too anxious. ”

Emperor Daojun snorted coldly: "If it can allow for a month, Xihe will catch the second child's evil obstacle, and there is no need to send troops, so why do you need to transfer the forbidden troops from all sides at that time!" ”

Tong Guan bowed his head and said, "What the official family said is extremely true. ”

Emperor Daojun pondered for a while behind the dragon chair: "The alliance with Jin to attack Northern Liao must not be too cold, and after attacking the city and plundering the land, it is necessary to leave troops to guard, and the western army must at least send 150,000 or 60,000 to be enough, counting the soldiers and horses in Hedong, as well as Gyeonggi...... Gyeonggi has to go again, make up 200,000, this is like going back. ”

Everyone said yes below, and Emperor Daojun said: "However, there must be a way to get out of Xihe." ”

Tang Ke opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that Zhao Xianggong said it well, the outside must first be peaceful, and if the inside is not quiet, it will be difficult to calm the outside...... Can you communicate first to delay the dispatch of troops? ”

Cai You shook his head on the side and said: "Although there is nothing wrong with the outside world, there is no joke in the king, the covenant has been signed, and the national letters have been handed to each other, how can there be a reason to change the hexagram when you turn your head?" ”

Zhang Bangchang said at this time: "I think what Tong Shumi said just now is a bit exaggerated, although I have never been to Qingtang City, but how can that kind of border city need tens of thousands of people to attack?" What's more, the King of Qin and the deputy capital of Longyou should join forces to capture the city, it is just the worst plan to do, it may not necessarily be so, it is not good to say that the King of Qin will not be allowed to enter at all after he arrives in the Qingtang Dynasty, and it is difficult to say if he is captured, even if he is in, how can half of the Xizhou soldiers really surrender? The so-called nearly 10,000 people can really use only a few thousand. ”

Tang Ke shook his head: "Lord Zhang must not underestimate King Qin, and everything should be regarded as the worst plan." ”

Emperor Daojun looked at Tong Guan again at this time: "What did Aiqing say?" ”

Tong Guan glanced at everyone, and then said to Emperor Daojun: "Official, what you adults said is all reasonable, but the old minister thinks ...... The most important thing at the moment is to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun as soon as possible, and everything else must be based on this matter! ”

Emperor Daojun nodded approvingly: "Naturally, it is necessary to focus on this hometown in the back mountain, as for the communication with the Jin State to delay the time to send troops, it is not advisable to delay the time of sending troops, it will be despised by the Jin State, and the news of the alliance has long been leaked out, and the Liao State may have been making preparations, and the later it is delayed, the more unfavorable it is to attack." ”

Tong Guan said: "The official Shengming, that's exactly the case. ”

Emperor Daojun touched his beard and hesitated: "In this case, Xihe still has to send troops, that is, if the second child really occupies Xining Prefecture, what should it do?" ”

Tong Guan said: "Just now the minister thinks that what Lord Zhang said also has some truth, what worst plan is the minister's idea, not necessarily so, if the official family decides to send troops north on Xihe Road, then even if King Qin really occupies Qingtang, it is not to attack for the time being, and then you might as well transfer some men and horses from the states except Zhenwu Army and Lanzhou, and stop the main road under the east of Qingtang, thinking that there are only a few thousand people in the hands of King Qin in addition to the Qingtang army, and it will not become a big trouble, and after recovering Yanyun here, the army will be killed, and then more than 100,000 people in the western army can go to Xihe, No matter how great King Qin's skills are, he can only take one way to go! ”

Emperor Daojun couldn't help but stroke his palm when he heard this: "What Aiqing said is very good, then act accordingly, I will now issue an order to the armies in the west, and as for Xihe, I will first let the states send some local defenders, and just stop it." ”

At this moment, everyone saw that Emperor Daojun had made up his mind, and shouted together: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Emperor Daojun nodded, and then said: "This time the destruction of Liao is a big matter, and Tong Aiqing must lead the troops there, is Aiqing willing?" ”

Tong Guanyan's expression was instantly excited when he heard this, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The old minister is grateful for the trust of the official family, and the old minister will not disgrace his life, and swear to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun and present them to His Majesty, do his best, and never give up!" ”

Emperor Daojun smiled and said: "Get up, I can trust you, if you restore this old place in the back mountain, the promise of Taizu Taizong and the imperial brother back then, I will not break my promise vaguely, and I will definitely reward you." ”

Tong Guan immediately kowtowed: "Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's grace, and the minister's death is not enough to repay Your Majesty's kindness!" ”

At this time, everyone next to them looked at Tong Guan with envy, they naturally knew what Emperor Daojun said about Taizu Taizong and the promise of the previous emperor, that is, the one who recovered Yanyun...... Crowned king!
