Chapter 57: Yang Mou (I)
It is said that Jinling passed the Taoist document to Jiangling Mansion, and Gao Jichong, the king of Nanping, was undecided, and Li Jingwei, the deputy envoy of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, advised the king of Nanping to raise troops to arrive in Tang, and then defend from Jingdong, and then attack Tang around the south road, and drive directly to Jinling.
"King, Jing Dongke is in danger! Only there is no national danger in the area of Guizhou in the west, so Li Jingyan can be sent to lead his troops out and go south with a drum! Then take the Xiazhou soldiers and go to Jingdong together to reach the Tang soldiers! ”
Li Jingwei's plan is completely different from Sun Guangxian, Sun Guangxian's analysis of the situation between Tang and Nanping at this moment, if Tang is determined to destroy Nanping by unscrupulous means, Nanping will not be able to resist it no matter what. Not to mention that in the past, Ma Chu used the strength of 14 states to block the Tang army, but he was still destroyed by the Tang general Bian Hao, and now the available troops in the three states of Jingxiang are only 30,000, and they have always relied on the canonization of the northern power to survive.
In order to prevent Liu Jun of the Northern Han Dynasty from stabbing him in the back, he decided to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty first, and then take the south of the Yangtze River.
Zhao Kuangyin was also overwhelmed by the Han-Liao coalition army at the moment, and he would have no time to look south, so Li Yu was determined to take Jingxiang, and Nanping had no intention of surviving. It is better to surrender to the Tang Dynasty first to keep a rich and noble official position, and to avoid the catastrophe after the Tang army destroys the country.
"Don't be gullible, Li Jingwei! Knowing that Nanping was tired of fighting, why did he move the king to rise up the war! and sent your brother Jing Xiang into Jiangling! Could it be a deliberate rebellion? Sun Guangxian hesitated slightly, and immediately replied strictly.
In other words, whether Li Jingwei will rebel or not, Sun Guangxian naturally knows it, but Li Jingwei would rather die than give in, and he wants to die with his full name, but Sun Guangxian does not dare to do this, and the ministers under the court do not dare to do this.
"Few people know that General Li is loyal to Nanping and Jingxiang! I will never conspire against the usurpation of the throne, and now... Now... Right now, the widow is also..."
"Your Majesty, according to the courtiers... It is better to repair the book and pass it to the Jingling of the Song Kingdom, and ask the Song general Li Chuyun to send troops to the Tang State with Nanping! Zhongshu Lu Wenjin saw that the king of Nanping was in chaos and had no case, so he gave advice.
"It's... The widow also thinks it is feasible... Sun Guangxian, what do you think? Gao Jichong only slowed down for a moment, and then threw the question to his close minister Sun Guangxian.
"O king... Don't forget... The Song Kingdom has been plotting to land Jingxiang and Guangliang! Inviting the Song army to enter the country is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger! At that time, the Don army will be driven away, I'm afraid ... Set yourself on fire! ”
"That's... Not to do that either! That won't work either! According to the widow, it is better to give Nanping to him in the Tang and Song dynasties, let him fight on his own, and the widow will bring his family... Take refuge in Xishu..."
"King! Tang sent an envoy to Gangneung! ”
"Quick! QuickPass! ”
Let's say that Gao Jichong was going to lose Jing Xiang and run for his life, and when he heard that Tang Guoken sent an envoy, he felt that this matter might take a turn for the better, and looked at Judge Sun Guangxian again.
"Tang Guoken sent an envoy! It is the true heart of the Song, and the king has no worries! Sun Guangxian hurriedly whispered softly.
After the ministers were silent, there was a person from time to time, wearing a brocade and jade robe, holding a saber, standing tall and not entering the hall, Sun Guangxian saw that there was a purple appearance in this person's jade robe, and he was immediately overjoyed, just because the Tang official system removed the royal family, and all the officials and court clothes were respected by purple! This shows that this person's official position must be above the three grades of the Tang State, and he has a pivotal position in the court.
However, it was said that the envoys of the Tang State took off their robes directly, and then gave the courtesy of Gao Jichong, the king of Nanping, in their naked official uniforms, which made Gao Jichong a little frightened.
"The foreign minister is the imperial historian of the Tang Kingdom, and he also receives the Chinese book, and he is the prince Zhan Shi Chen Qiao! On the personal order of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he came to meet the king and reconciled with the king to destroy the Song Kingdom! Although Chen Qiao gave up, Sun Guangxian found that this person was upright and majestic, his eyes were unruly, his knees were not said to be kneeling, and he did not move even if he leaned forward, but then he knew that this person was a second-class official of the Tang Kingdom, and as a close minister of the Tang Emperor, he was arrogant.
"Chen Qiao! You are Chen Qiao, a famous scholar of the Tang Kingdom! Emperor Tang actually attached so much importance to the friendship with Nanping, and actually sent such a celebrity..."Lu Wenjin saw that the person who came reported his name, and immediately felt a sense of awe, the name of Chen Qiao in the south is well known.
"You have no basis for what you say, what evidence do you have to prove that you are Tang Envoy Chen Qiao!" Li Jingwei still did not let down his vigilance, no matter whether the person in front of him was true or false, it was extremely absurd to open the gate of Jiangling to let the Tang army borrow the way, even if he was invincible to the Tang army, he could not let the Tang State enter the gate of Nanping in vain.
"This is a belt given by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! Please wait and see, and Qiao and Jiangling Yang Zilu have already acquainted, if you don't believe it, you can let Zilu testify for me! Chen Qiao took off his robe again, showing the jade belt in his waist, Sun Guangxian saw that this person was obviously wrapped around the belt and his expression was a little arrogant, and he straightened his waist left and right, which was really interesting.
"Since you are an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, you have entered Jiangling this time, but you have something to say to the widow!"
"If the foreign minister's guess is correct, you must be discussing a strategy to reject Tang! Chen Qiao can vouch for his status as a celebrity, my Tang Emperor is aiming at the north, not the south, and will never have any plans for the land of Nanping Sanzhou! ”
"Then Mr. Chen's entry into Jiangling this time is..."
"Take it as a hostage! Please start from the Jingdong Road and open the city gates! Don't resist, and wait here for my Tang Emperor to personally lead the troops across Jiangling Road to fight the Song Dynasty! Chen Qiao immediately shouted and handed his eyes to Sun Guangxian.
......
Let's say that one day after Chen Qiao sent an envoy to Nanping, Tang Emperor Li Yu personally led 30,000 Longxiang troops, and with Li Huaijin as the vanguard, he sent troops westward, but when Li Huaijin asked for ordnance for the needs of war, Li Yu refused it on the grounds that the Song army was weak and inconvenient to wade for a long time, so that he led the swordless soldiers westward.
Li Huaijin also knew that Li Yu still did not fully trust him, but he knew that if he really got to fight in Jingling City, Fuzhou, Li Yu would still hand over his weapons to the Swimming Army, and at that time, the Swimming Army would take the blade and cooperate with Li Chuyun's Jingling Army, which would inevitably hit Li Yu hard.
Besides, Han Xizai, Pan You and others who stayed in the capital were in charge of the government in the political hall, while Tang Yue and Wang Huan knew that they could not mix with the Han and Xu factions, and they had no real power in the hall, so they simply went out of the city and slipped up the Qinglou.
"Youzhi, this expedition to Nanping is a small matter, why do we have to recruit the Son of Heaven in person?" Tang Yue raised his glass to Wang Huan and asked him again.
As for the conquest of Nanping, it is indeed a small matter, but Li Yu still insists on conscripting in person, and he must have his own purpose.
"Doctor Tang... Isn't the meaning of the Son of Heaven obvious enough! "Tang Yue is a man of temperament, and he calls Wang Huan by his alias three times when he drinks, but after all, Wang Huan is still a doctor compared to Tang Yue's official second grade.
"The purpose of this expedition of the Son of Heaven must be ulterior, Yu Huan said, only guessed one or two."
"You don't have to be humble... As far as I am concerned, Xu Xuan's talent may not be above Youzhi, so let's talk to me, why did the Son of Heaven pro-Zheng? Tang Yue looked around and found that there were no courtiers, so he approached Wang Huan and inquired twice.
"The Son of Heaven personally conquered, and what many people knew was to imply to the courtiers that the Son of Heaven did have the ambition to take the Song Kingdom in the north and win the Central Plains."
"Of course I know this, I want to know something that the Son of Heaven doesn't know..."
"Doctor Tang, this time the Tang State is under a false name, intending to annex Nanping, only sending troops will be insincere, if the Son of Heaven personally conquers, it will definitely convince Nanping, the Son of Heaven is indeed willing to attack the Song Dynasty!" Wang Huan raised his glass without drinking, and said as if smiling.
"This... It's not hard to guess, Youzhi, what else do you know! Don't hide anything from me! Tang Yue became more and more itchy, and at this moment he also knew that Wang Huan had guessed something big, and when he saw that there was no one around, he insisted on Wang Huan's side to ask why.
"Dr. Tang... Remember the words of the day, and do not speak them to others..."
"Oh, say it! God mysterious! Don't you feel at ease about my Tang Yue's personality! Tang Yue became more and more anxious, and even dragged Wang Huan to his ear without regard for decency, the scene looked very ambiguous, but it made the girls in the building a little speechless.
"Hwan is suspicious... The Holy Lord's personal expedition this time is to kill a person with his own hands! ”
