Chapter 24 Liutao Wu is strategically changing, and he can really fight
Li Qiong had already started Zhang Jun's rectification of military affairs, and was always looking forward to being taken over by Yue Fei's military department, but unfortunately it did not succeed in the end. After the mutiny, he received a letter from Yue Fei, because of the repeated times of the imperial court, the opportunity had been lost, so he could only reply to Yue Fei and said, "When I was in Hefei in the past, I had heard that the administration of Daqi was clear and effective, the government was honest and honest, and the people could live and work in peace and contentment." When we all arrived here, we heard and saw that we didn't come to the wrong place, and that's really it." Liu Yu's regime was corrupt and dark, and General Li Qiong was forced to say this, which was really a compelling situation and a reversal of facts.
King Yun smiled and said: "The change in Huaixi is actually not as huge as it seems.
"At that time, although the Jurchens were very strong in military power, they were still quite backward in other aspects such as politics and economy, and although they were known as the Jin State, they did not have the confidence or ability to rule and manage this large area of land. They then set up puppet regimes in the occupied areas, helping them resolve ethnic contradictions in the areas, looting money, and directly confronting the Great Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Jianyan, the Jin State supported Liu Yu in the vast area south of the Yellow River and established a puppet regime, with the state name Daqi. This Liu Yu turned out to be the prefect of Jinan in the Great Song Dynasty. In the second year of Jianyan, in the face of the menacing Jin army, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and killed the general Guan Sheng, who was the main anti-Jin brother, and surrendered to the Jin State.
From then on, the pseudo-Qi, who was in the military buffer zone of the Song and Jin Dynasty, was determined to be the lackey of the Jin State, and cooperated with the Jin soldiers to attack the Song army, becoming the bridgehead of the Jin State to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was also a major obstacle for the Southern Song Dynasty to resist the Jin.
At that time, the Jin country was divided into two factions, the two princes Sticky Han (Wanyan Zonghan) and Jin Wushu (Wanyan Zongbi) each faction, Liu Yu and Sticky Han had a very close past, which made the Jin Wushu, who had already looked down on Liu Yu, very dissatisfied. This information also attracted the attention of Yue Fei on the anti-Jin front, and he waited for the right opportunity to provoke a struggle within the enemy and divide and disintegrate the enemy's forces.
One evening, Yue Fei's subordinates caught a spy of the Jin army. After Yue Fei found out, he decided to use this opportunity to separate Jin Wushu and Liu Yu. Under his arrangement, the Jin Army spy was taken to the big tent of the Chinese army, and Yue Fei, who was sitting there, was drunk, and asked when he met, "Isn't this Zhang Bin?" I sent you to ask Liu Yu to use a trick to capture the Golden Vulture, why did you have no news as soon as you went? Thanks to the fact that I later sent someone to it, I learned that Liu Yu had promised to lure the golden vulture to the Qinghe River so that he could be captured alive in the name of attacking the Yangtze River. Where did you send the letter? Why not report it? Do you dare to betray me? When the spy saw that Yue Fei had recognized the wrong person, he was happy, so he took the opportunity to admit that he was Zhang Bin, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, making up a set of lies to explain the reason, and expressed his willingness to make meritorious service for his crimes, and begged Yue Fei to spare his life.
Senior Brother Yue Fei ordered his subordinates to bring Zhang Bin to the tent, and first wrote a letter, in which he made an appointment with Liu Yu on the specific details of the operation. Then he brought Zhang Bin up, handed him the letter, and reprimanded him with a fierce voice, "I will spare you today, you will make meritorious service for your crimes, and then go to Liu Yu once, and hand over the letter to Liu Yu personally." In addition, regardless of whether the letter is delivered or not, you must return as soon as possible, and there must be no more mistakes, otherwise watch out for your dog's head! β
The spy took the letter, and happily galloped all the way back to the camp of the Jin army, and handed the letter to the Jin Wushu. Seeing this, Jin Wushu was furious, and immediately wrote to Jin Xizong, the emperor of Jin State, reporting that Liu Yu had betrayed Jin State. Jin Xizong was furious and abolished Liu Yu.
In this way, Senior Brother Yue skillfully used a knife to kill people, and used the enemy to get rid of Liu Yu without spending a single soldier, which cleared a major obstacle for the anti-Jin.
After the Huaixi Change, Zhang Jun resigned, and Zhao Ding was reinstated. Over there, the Jin people abolished Liu Yu, and Zhao Ding sent spies to appease the Henan guards, between Shou, Bo, Chen, and Cai, they often raised cities or led troops to surrender, and got tens of thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of horses, most of which were the original people and horses in Huaixi. The sudden coming and going of forty or fifty thousand soldiers further confirmed that the changes in Huaixi at that time were extraordinary, not from their own intentions. Liu Qi, Zhilu Prefecture, also said: "There are many converts in Huaibei, and it is estimated that 40,000 or 50,000 people can be obtained this year. 'The imperial court was always worried about the lack of defenses in the hundreds of miles between the river and the pond, and it was safe to get these troops.
"I first had Yuwen Xuzhong in Jin to do internal response, for the Jin State teacher, to help him sinicization, and successively befriended Ah Gu Da cousin Tart Lazy (Wan Yan Chang), Wu Qi bought the eldest son Zong Pan, A Gu beat the sixth son Zong Jun, and then showed off the great benefits of the Song system to him, and several people soon became very interested in the Great Song Dynasty.
"After the Huaixi Change, we had General Li as an internal response, first befriended Yan Zonghan (Sticky Han) through Liu Yu, bribed Gao Qingyi, a close confidant of Sticky Han, and then came forward to kill Gao Qingyi for embezzlement. In order to continue to specialize in the power of the dynasty, he not only prevented Yan Wu from buying the throne to pass on the throne of his son Zongpan, but also prevented the fourth son of A Guda from completing Yan Zongbi's accession to the throne, and the hatred with Zongpan was great. Gao Qingyi, a close confidant of Sticky Han, died, and felt that the general trend had gone, and died of depression that year. Most of this is the credit between Xuzhong and General Li's envoys.
"Xuzhong and General Li are really capable, and they tried their best to make peace in the eighth year of Shaoxing, and then in the eighth year of Shaoxing, by Wanyan Chang (Wanyan tart lazy), Zong Pan, and Zong Jun, the land of Henan and Shaanxi was returned, and the second year was self-fulfilling. The current emperor of the Jin State, Wanyan Kang's adoptive father, Wanyan Zonggan, was extremely angry about this, and together with Wanyan Xiyin, he killed Zong Pan and Zong Jun. It's a pity that in my Great Song Dynasty, there was Qin Hui who fornicated with the Golden Vulture Technique, and the land returned to Henan and Shaanxi was not guarded, and it was finally taken away by the Golden Vulture Technique. Although Tart Lazy then made the counter-intrigue to let Jin Wushu kill Xi Yin, he himself was killed for the failure of his anti-Jin Tou Song. β
In fact, the Jin State made peace to return the land of Henan and Shaanxi, and Yuwen Xuzhong and Li Qiong undoubtedly made great contributions, but in the end, it was Jin Guowan Yanchang who played a decisive role. Wan Yan Chang was able to pass through the Song Dynasty against Jin, and another more important figure was Zhao Jinnu, the second daughter of Huizong, Emperor Rongde Ji Zhao Jinnu, the half-sister of Emperor Zhao Huan of Jingkang, who was originally the wife of Cao Sheng, the general of the Song Zuowei. Zhao Jinnu was originally noble and noble, and both talented and beautiful, Wan Yanchang loved it very much, so he admired the prosperous world and splendid culture of the Central Plains even more, and soon was rebelled, and tried his best to maintain the Great Song Dynasty, and the two gave birth to two sons soon after marriage.
Speaking of Yan Chang's death, King Yun regretted it, but Zhao Jinnu's marriage was caused by Jingkang's difficulty, so it was naturally difficult to talk about it, so he skipped it.
King Yun paused and said again: "Prime Minister Zhang Jun is good at the overall situation and short at acting, especially narrow-minded, arbitrary, improper use of people, and many self-seeking good situations are ruined by himself. Zhao Ding is more than steady, but not enough. Both of them are inferior to Li Gang, which is not enough to turn the tide of the Great Song Dynasty. It's a pity that Li Gang was fettered again, but these three people are all rare good prime ministers of my Great Song Dynasty, and they can always do their best and be loyal to the country.
"The most pity is that the old marshal Zongze is enough to seek the country and use the army, and he can make meritorious contributions in time, and he can be promising, and then he can be promising, and Prime Minister Li Gang is the most obedient to his ability, but his ambition is not rewarded. Jingkang's difficulty, the Jin people forced the second emperor to go north, the sect lost its owner, Zong Ze shouted, and hundreds of thousands of people from Hebei Yilu gathered to respond. There is a way to use soldiers, and thieves are soldiers; Du Chong used soldiers, and the soldiers were all thieves. We also want to be like the old commander Zongze, so that the Hebei Volunteer Brigade can have the courage to resist gold, so please ask Zhang Rong to close the contact.
"The change in Huaixi, although Li Qiong was forced to surrender to Qi, Zhang Juncheng's improper measures were the cause, and Qin Hui's internal provocation and external collusion were even more reasons. Lu Zhi is not a traitor, but he was deceived by Qin Hui and repeatedly provoked, and he died for a reason. At that time, Zhao Ding was the left minister, Zhang Jun was the right minister, and Qin Hui was the privy envoy, instigating Lu Zhi to provoke Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun, and even the emperor said, 'If Zhang Jun and Qing are not in harmony in the future, Lu Zhi will also.' Later, Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun had a disagreement, and they also said to the emperor: "Chen Chu and Jun are like brothers, because of Lu Zhi's separation, they are different." Later, LΓΌ Zhi went to Huaixi to raise the army, favored Wang De, and secretly told General Li, which was out of control, so that he died.
"Unlike Lu Zhi's provocation, when Yue Fei left the army to mourn his mother, Zhang Xian led the army, Zhang Jun was angry, and also arranged for the military department to serve as a squire and the governor to consult the military Zhang Zongyuan to raise the army. After Zhang Zongyuan arrived, he felt the loyalty and courage of Yue Fei's subordinates, and reported that 'the generals are harmonious, the military is elite, and the upper is adhering to the orders of the imperial court, and the people are loyal and filial; The next is to train martial arts, wisdom and courage', the court was greatly relieved. is the same as Lu Zhi, but a potential disaster disappeared invisibly.
"If you plan the victory or defeat, although there are 40,000 people in Huaixi, everyone will take expedient measures, and the Jin State is even more afraid that the tail of the pseudo-Qi Yin will not be lost, so it will be dismissed immediately. Later, Zhao Ding was the prime minister and used spies to contact them one by one, and this group of people returned in a team, and they didn't lose much. Because of this, I was able to install General Li undercover, and later had the opportunity to save the people of Bozhou Mancheng. Yuwen Xuzhong, General Li, etc., stirred up the Jin court and the battle to win more than our dynasty, Wan Yanchang thus opposed the Jin to the Song, Zong Han, Zong Pan, Zong Jun, Xi Yin, etc. were all killed in this wave of internal strife, and the Jin Wushu was difficult to support alone. The war of spies before and after the Huaixi Change, we can win a lot.
"Since the founding of Taizu, my Great Song Dynasty has been in the land of four wars, and has always been surrounded by strong enemies, and disputes are continuous, and spy war strategies are indispensable to each other. Before the battles against the Later Shu, Southern Han, Northern Han, and Southern Tang, Taizu sent spies to collect intelligence. With Fa Song as the middle, Chong Shiheng brilliantly got rid of the two fierce generals of the Western Xia, provoked the civil strife in the Western Xia, and easily ensured the stability of the border pass.
"I went up to the court, down to the people, inside and outside the court, and behind the front line. After the imperial court listed "The Art of War" as the first of the "Seven Books of the Book of Martial Arts", not only the soldiers worshipped, but even the literati talked about spies and the number of people who talked about spies increased day by day, and they went straight to the hall of elegance, sweeping away the wind of "scholars and doctors are ashamed of their words". Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Zhe, Sima Guang, Shen Kuo, Mei Yaochen, and others also wrote monographs and annotations on "The Art of War", advocating that "more spies should be nurtured and regarded as eyes and ears" and "good spies should be rewarded." Zeng Gongliang's "General Classic of Martial Arts", Xu Dong's "Tiger Sutra", Chen Gui's "Records of Defending the City", He Qufei's "Dr. He's Commentary" and Mei Yaochen's "The Art of War" annotations of several others, and the Tang Dynasty's "Li Jing's Art of War" and my ancestor Ruan Yi's "Li Weigong Asks the Right" are in contrast, all of which have incisive and unique insights into the use and the opposite.
"Since Taizu, he has been personally managed by the imperial court, and has carried out internal and external espionage and assassination. For the right people, it has become the 'Imperial City Division' to use the room to prevent it. The main army of the Privy Council below also directly set up a 'speed room', set up an intelligence agency in the locality, which was subordinate to the 'pacification department', and then had the 'machine department' in wartime, which was responsible for spy and assassination.
"The imperial court often sent spies from the Imperial City Department to make visits to foreign personnel with them, and they also sent foreign personnel to obtain information. Envoys such as Kou Zhun, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Zhang Dan, and Shen Kuo lived up to their mission and attached great importance to intelligence. The so-called 'envoy of the former rich and the rich, with a single word of millions of soldiers from the north and south, can be described as great', is the clear proof. And Hong Hao made Jin Xin return, and described in detail all the things such as the administrative wealth accumulation of the Jin country's soldiers and horses, and the customs and customs, called "Song Desert Chronicles", only because Qin Hui had a ban on private history, and the book had not been engraved and not announced, and I was very familiar with Hong Hao in the north, so I was able to have a sneak peek.
"Espionage has always been more focused on the Privy Council. Kou Zhun entered the prime minister twice, served as a privy envoy, and became the prime minister, deeply understood the situation of the enemy country, and went to the border to recruit and search, and often sent spies to the front line to reconnoitre, so as to know himself and the enemy. Fan Zhongyan was transferred to the Northwest Front and served as the commander of the frontier, advocating a detailed understanding of the enemy's situation, active defense, and bringing out famous generals such as Di Qing and Chong Shiheng. In addition, Fu Bi is both the prime minister and the privy envoy, and Zhang Dian was also a privy envoy, all of whom are masters of using the room to defend the room.
"Liao, Western Xia, Jin, etc. are often confronted by me, but they are also indispensable to me. And Jin Guo can let Qin Hui go undercover in the Great Song Dynasty as the prime minister of a country, frame my loyal ministers and good generals, and almost overthrow Sheji, it is really to the extreme.
"Because of fate, I was loved by my father and emperor, and I once promoted the Imperial City Division, so I know a lot about this."
In fact, since ancient times, those who make good use of soldiers will make good use of the space.
