Chapter 1130: Layout
Ashina Qisang could not understand the importance of Luoyang to the hegemony.
Yu Wensheng had no choice but to elaborate: "From the previous dynasty through the north-south canal, north to Youzhou, south to Yuhang, all with Luoyang as the center. That is to say, if the Khan can take Luoyang, he can cut off the Cao Yun between the north and the south, so that the King of Jin and Wei can not help each other, and the Khan King can attack Yan and Jin in the northeast, and Jinling can be attacked in the southeast, and there is no need to capture Wuguan at all. ”
"Yuwenjun thinks that it is still possible for King Jin and Empress Wei to shake hands and help each other?" Qi Sang was surprised.
"King Khan must not underestimate the strategy of King Ye of Jin." Yu Wensheng said: "Don't hide the King of Khan, although he once had Wei to believe in the heavy, serving as Jing Zhaoyin, if it wasn't for the King of Khan, he really didn't expect that the King of Jin who was full of useless slander was ambitious, if this matter is conclusive, the depth of the Jin King's city, the ability to forbear, it is really shocking, the Empress Dowager Wei abandoned Chang'an to Jinling, although the Great Zhou Sheji is dangerous, but not dead, and still occupies orthodoxy, if the King of Jin does not obey the order at this time, supports the army and respects, and cares about the invasion of foreign races, he will definitely be slandered by his subjects, he has endured for many years, how can he be willing to become a chaotic minister and thief? King Khan Kesi Huaien King, raised troops in Hengyang, once occupied Guangzhou, and was able to stop the civil strife, against foreign races, Jin Wang Ye even needed to respect the Empress Dowager Wei as his mother, so join forces to resist the enemy, in order to win the hearts of the people, yes, the Khan King must be vigilant, take precautions to capture Luoyang. ”
"According to what you said, from Luoyang to Jinling, it is faster to take the waterway than the land route, why did the Empress Dowager Wei abandon this shortcut and go out of Wuguan to take a long detour?" Chisan was puzzled.
"Because Empress Dowager Wei had seasickness, she had to abandon the waterway, and at that time, she heard that the King of Khan had entered Gyeonggi and took Tongguan to Luoyang, and there was a great risk of meeting the Turkic army head-on, so she decided to evacuate through Wuguan." This is also true, even if Yu Wensheng keeps it secret, as soon as Qisang asks Chai Tori, he will be able to grasp it.
"General Tongguan, can you listen to Henan Yin Li Chenweng's orders?" Chisan asked again.
"Henan Yin does not have the authority to order the heavy pass defenders."
"Then even if you can win Henan Yin's performance, what's the point? If you want to win Tongguan, you can only attack hard. ”
"Although Henan Yin does not hold military power, the 200,000 defenders of Tongguan need to rely on Henan Yin to support grain and grass." Yu Wensheng said that it was powerful.
"Can Li Chenweng really fight for it and be willing to surrender to the Turks?"
"I'm afraid I can't at the moment." Yu Wensheng said: "After all, He Zhou Sheji is not dead, the traitor and rebel son will be spurned by the subjects, Li Chenweng is born in the world, of course, he is not willing to be discredited, and bear the crime of defecting to the enemy, however, his eunuch for many years, of course, can be seen that the rule of the surname He is in danger, this Henan Yin, not a member of the Wei Hou Party, will definitely not be born and die for the Wei Hou, as long as the Khan King first to Ganzhou, Chang'an and other people's livelihood, know the righteousness, and promote Li Chenweng to allow the merchant ships to sail into Chang'an through the Cao Canal, that is, it can alleviate the danger of hunger and hunger of the soldiers and civilians in Chang'an City, and it will be beneficial in the future. ”
Since the reconciling peace, the army of the barbarians has entered Ganzhou, and the war has not really subsided, causing the farmers in Guanzhong to lose cultivation and the harvest to drop sharply, not to mention that Qisang has all the way into Chang'an, without restraining his subordinates, killing and looting along the way, and wanting to restore the agricultural mulberry is not something that can be promoted in the short term, but at this time, Mo said that there are still so many people in Chang'an City, and millions of soldiers have been added. Accommodating the entry and exit of merchant ships is still within his purview.
"Minister, you can make Luoyang and persuade Henan Yin to open commercial transportation." Yu Wensheng simply asked for an order.
Qi Sang didn't say yes, he first sent a message to He Zhan and asked for his opinion.
"Although the Turkic cavalry is brave, I don't know if they are good at water warfare?" He Zhan asked.
Qisang was speechless, he hadn't even been on a boat, how could he be good at water warfare.
"If you don't know how to fight in water, what's the use of capturing Luoyang?" He Zhan said with a smile: "I also want to ask Ling to lobby Henan Yin, so that I can reunite with my wife and children." ”
This is a hint that as soon as you enter Luoyang, you will be like a bird throwing into the forest, and you will be free, of course, you will never return.
But Ashina Qisang, of course, couldn't believe He Zhan's words.
Shibatori said in one sentence: "Although the Khan King is not good at sailing and water warfare, whether it is a northern attack or a southern expedition, the army marches on land and captures the customs and transportation, and can use Cao to transport baggage, grain and grass, how convenient is it?" Luoyang is of course crucial. ”
Awata Mayang also fell into the ground: "Of course He Chengtai doesn't want the Khan King to attack Tongguan, because once Tongguan is taken, Luoyang will certainly be captured, and the Turkic army can even approach Jinshuo!" Compared with He Chengtai, although Yu Wensheng was once a member of the Empress Wei, he was angry and deposed by the Queen Mother because of the He Jue incident, how could he not complain in his heart? Serving the Khan King, it is possible to make a comeback, which is more credible than He Chengtai, a member of the Jin King's party. ”
Of course, Awada Mayang knew that the incident with Zhi Neng was not indispensable, but until now, he still didn't know who was threatening Zhi Neng to rescue He Kuo, and as He Zhan asserted, this envoy to Zhou didn't want the Turks to really be able to pacify the world, and his plan was to take advantage of the fire to rob, so in order to prevent extraneous branches, there was no mention of Zhi Neng's possible exposure.
Xie Ying also thinks that Yu Wensheng is more credible: "This person is not from Shiwang, but a poor family to take the imperial examination, and he was promoted by climbing Wei Yuanping, although he had some dealings with Xue Luli, compared to He Chengtai, it is unlikely to serve the King of Jin, if he only wants to abscond in Luoyang, then in order to completely cut off Shijin, he knows the current affairs, how can he not know that following the Khan King is the general trend, and besides, if he really does not return, there is no loss for the Khan King." ”
In Xie Ying's opinion, Yu Wensheng can neither be used to threaten the King of Jin, let alone threaten the Empress Dowager Wei, that is, he absconded to Luoyang, which is nothing more than being fooled, but if Yu Wensheng can really persuade Li Chenweng to open the Cao Canal ban and release merchant ships, it will be of great benefit, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so it is worth a try.
So Chang'an not only lifted the ban, Yu Wensheng even as a Turkic "envoy" Da Ra Ra took a boat to ban the water, not only Li Chenweng, but also the princess of Jin of course immediately learned about the situation in Chang'an City.
When he saw the princess of Jin and Lu Li, Yu Wensheng saw it with tears in his eyes, and first gritted his teeth to inform Chai about the dedication of the city, and everyone heard that the people of Chang'an City were really slaughtered, and they were all silent, Li Chenweng sighed for a long time: "Fortunately, He Chengtai was resourceful and prevented more innocent people from being killed." ”
At this time, of course, they didn't expect that the catastrophe of Chang'an City had not really passed, and realized that Ashina Qisang was not easy to fool Awata Mayang, and still did not give up provoking chaos, what he hoped was that Chang'an City was greatly damaged, not only civilians, but even the nobles were best to die under the guillotine, so that the subjects of the Central Plains must fight to the death, hinder Ashina Qisang's footsteps in conquering Tuba, and fight with the Great Zhou Wei Hou and Jin Dynasty, so as to win the opportunity for Dongying to defeat Silla!
Indeed, after a hundred years of recuperation, the Dongying people are ambitious, they have never given up the coveting of this splendid river and mountain, their arrogance can even be traced back to the previous dynasty, the reign of the late Emperor Guang, Dongying sent an envoy to visit China, he had made a lot of nonsense, what was said in the national letter, "the sunrise of the Son of Heaven to the book of the day is not where the Son of Heaven is unharmed", and then joined hands with Baekje to fight against Silla, intending to invade China, until the defeat of the Battle of Baekje Village, Japan suffered heavy losses, so it had to put away its fangs and show goodwill to the Central Plains, However, because Silla refused to allow the ship to sail through the sea, the Dongying envoy had to venture into the sea, and many envoys were shipwrecked and died, but it never thwarted the country's ambition of revival and expansion.
But obviously, even if Japan is able to recuperate now, it is absolutely impossible to directly invade the Central Plains, because the sea is unpredictable and it is impossible to avoid the sinking of the warship. If they wanted to invade the Central Plains, they had to regain the right to travel near the sea, so it was inevitable to start a war with Silla, and only the Turkic Gordon Regiment was in a melee, and the powerful countries could not support Silla, and the Japanese were expected to win the first victory.
As a Japanese nobleman, Awata Mayo completely disregarded his personal life and death, even if the treacherous plan had been exposed by He Zhan, Ashina Qisang was wary of him, but he still did not cancel the plan.
He even has a secret collaborator, which is Xie Ying.
Qi Sang was busy with armament and government affairs, and it was inevitable that he could not focus on the matter of guarding, and the Turkic generals were more than brave, but they were cautious in wisdom and strategy, but they were lacking, so the task of keeping an eye on the "treacherous evil" fell on Xie Ying, and Xie Ying was not derelict in his duties, and soon noticed that Awata Ma Yang was in contact with the Tubo generals and picked on right and wrong.
But she ignored it.
Because she couldn't bear Princess Yangjin anymore, she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill people with a knife.
The Tibetan royal family respects Buddhism, and there are many devout Buddhists among the subjects, but this does not mean that the Tubo army is brave enough to have the virtue of a good life, in fact, the Tubo and the Turks have an alliance, and the covenant has one, when the city of the Great Zhou is seized, the gold, silver and jewelry are equally divided, and the slavery and women are also equally divided, but when the attack enters Chang'an, seeing this prosperous city, the palace nobles are towering, how many rare treasures, the Turkic Khan does not let the robber nobles, and even the civilians are forbidden to capture and kill, which makes the Tubo army brave and disappointed, you must know that all the way to attack the city and seize the land, the Tubo generals will be brave as the vanguard, The casualties are far more heavy than those of the Turks, and now that they have achieved great success, but they have not received their due benefits, these troops can not grasp the ambition of Ashina Qisan, and they are already indignant, where can they withstand the provocation of others?
And because Chang'an City lifted the ban, the Turkic Khan declared that "everything is as usual, and there is no crime in the autumn", ending the atrocities of the massacre of Waiguo/civilians, although the people are skeptical, but of course they can't be closed, they don't have enough rations like the big rich families, they need to make a living, and the war has destroyed the order of the past, which also makes the basic survival problem more difficult, more people have lost their jobs, and Ashina Qisang, even if he is "lenient and generous", it is impossible to open the grabs to the civilians, It's just that the high gate is allowed to give out the rations in their private treasury, and hand over the square officials to distribute relief to the common people.
However, the civilians did not know the source of relief, and they thought it was a good deed of the Turkic Khan, and while relieved, they naturally relaxed their vigilance and began to believe that the killing and turmoil gradually passed, and Chang'an would gradually return to its former order.
These simple and simple people can not be asked to produce the shame of the Chinese people bowing to the barbarians, they originally lived at the bottom of the governed, Confucian political ideas such as "benevolence" and "compassion for the people" are only to make the people feel stable and abundant daily life, under the rule of the empire, the hierarchy of dignity and humility cannot be surpassed, the vast majority of the people must grovel, they cannot show off their power in front of the emperor and nobles, so the dignity in their minds is only closely related to their own survival, as for who to bow to, It's not that important.
Just when the public generally thought that life would return to the previous track, some families encountered disasters again.
Those barbarian soldiers were brave, although they no longer showed their butcher knives to the young and strong men, but their greedy and fierce eyes began to stare at the young women on the road!
