…

"Divide Zhao Song?"

Jiang Hongfei listened to it and said quietly: "Expand and talk." ”

Wu Yong hurriedly explained the strategic strategy he had come up with:

"There is a leader in our cottage named Duan Jingzhu, nicknamed the Golden Retriever, a native of Zhuozhou, who steals horses for a living. Not long ago, he went to the Jin Kingdom to steal the Zhaoye Jade Lion Horse of the King of Jin, but was robbed by Zengtou City on the way, which led to the Chao Song Controversy and other things. He once told me that he had heard from the Jin people that the Song and Jin had reached an agreement to unite in the near future to destroy the Liao state.

If this news is true, at that time, as long as my family, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La start an incident at the same time, Zhao Song will die.

Then, I seized Shandong, Hebei, the Central Plains, Jianghuai and other places; Tianhu seized the east and northwest six roads of the river; Wang Qing seized Huaixi, Jinghu, and Shudi; Fang La seized the southeast. The four of us will divide Zhao and Song first, and then chase the Central Plains ......"

After listening to Wu Yong's suggestion, Jiang Hongfei thought to himself: "Wu Yong can also be regarded as a heart, but his suggestion is not advisable......

Wu Yong did not know that the political situation of the Zhao and Song dynasties had undergone major changes.

Not long ago in June, Cai Jing died due to old age, and now the major affairs of the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts are handled by Wang Huang, a special young master and a Chinese scholar.

This is not an emergency.

Last year, Wang Hao was promoted to eight levels in a row, and he jumped from Doctor Tongyi to the position of Shaozai (that is, deputy prime minister), which caused quite a stir within the Zhao and Song courts.

You must know that Wang Hao's promotion speed is so fast, he is definitely the first person since the founding of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

In fact, as early as that time, the ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty understood Zhao Ji's intentions - Zhao Ji was arranging for Wang Huang to take over Cai Jing's class.

Wang Hao is exactly forty years old, three years older than Zhao Ji, he has good eloquence and good literary style, and he is a jinshi in the second year of Chongning's examination. He is very good at drilling camps and being an official. When he first became an official, he worked with the son of He Zhizhong, the secretary of the ministry, and he tried his best to win He Zhizhong's favor and get He Zhizhong's recommendation, and he was promoted all the way. Later, he followed Cai Jing's pace and was promoted by Cai Jing, and it only took him two years to go from school secretary to Yushi Zhongcheng. Later, he saw that the eunuch Liang Shicheng was very favored, so he took refuge in Liang Shicheng again, established a close relationship with him, and served him with his father, calling Liang Shicheng "Mr. Enfu".

The reason why Zhao Ji let Wang Hao replace Cai Jing as the new prime minister of the Zhao Song Dynasty is not because Cai Jing is really not young at the age of seventy-two, and Wang Hao is young and strong, the main reason is that Wang Hao resolutely supports the strategic concept of Lianjin destroying Liao and recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Cai Jing, who has been in charge of the Zhao Song Dynasty for nearly twenty years, may have seen that the Zhao Song Dynasty was already in decline and was not suitable for starting a national war at this time, so his attitude towards the strategic concept of Lianjin destroying Liao and recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun became more and more negative. Later, he even directly opposed this plan.

Zhao Ji felt that Cai Jing was old and no longer the capable and courageous prime minister he used to be, so he ordered him to be a minister.

After Wang Hao took office, he vigorously promoted a series of reform measures such as streamlining the bureaucracy and reducing taxes and miscellaneous labor, which made people look at him impressively, and everyone called him a virtuous minister at this time.

Zhao Ji was also very satisfied with Wang Hao's performance, and personally inscribed the four big characters "Dexian Zhiding" on the door of his residence.

In other words, although there are still some twists and turns, for example, because Zhao Ji is not familiar with the geography of the Yanyun region, in the handwritten letter to Wanyan Aguta, he only asked the Jin people for Yanjing and Guanzhou County (that is, the seven states of Yandi), and did not ask for the three states of Kyushu and Luanying in Yundi, which laid a major hidden danger for the recovery of the Yanyun region in the future, but the strategy of Lianjin to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun has indeed begun to start.

At this point, there is no problem with Wu Yong's message.

The problem is that Wu Yong didn't know that not long ago, Zhao Ji summoned Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Zhao Liangsi and other ministers who supported the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun to plan the Northern Expedition together and prepare for the dispatch of troops.

At that meeting, Tong Guan reiterated his position, that is, reaffirmed his "Ping Yan Ce".

In this recital, Tong Guan advocated taking the cloud land first and then the swallow land.

Tong Guan said: "The minister thinks that he should first send troops to occupy Liaoxi Beijing, and then attack Yanjing with the Jin army, the defense of Liaoxi Beijing is poor, and the certainty of victory is greater, and Yanjing City has a strong defense, and there has always been a Liao army heavily guarded, it is not easy to attack, my Great Song Dynasty won first and stabilized the military will and public opinion, and then coerced the power of the great victory, and destroyed the Liao State in one fell swoop!" ”

This is a good strategy offered by Tong Guan from a military point of view.

But Zhao Ji wanted to attack Yandi first and seize Yanjing.

The military defense system in the north of the Zhao and Song dynasties was mainly composed of two defense regions, Hebei and Hedong.

Hedong (i.e., Shanxi), the mountains and rivers are inside and outside, and the passes are full of dangers, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In this way, being able to get Yundi (that is, the area of Datong, Shanxi) is the icing on the cake for the defense system of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Hebei, on the other hand, is a vast plain, with no natural hazards to defend.

Therefore, the Hebei defense area has always been the top priority of the northern defense of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the Liao people said that if they went south, they would go south, go to Hebei, and they would be able to hit the Yellow River in three days, and then they would be able to cross the Yellow River and reach the city of Bianliang in Tokyo in two days.

The reason why the successive emperors of the Zhao and Song dynasties were obsessed with recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun was not only because the sixteen states of Yanyun were not recovered, but also because the Zhao and Song dynasties were not considered a truly unified dynasty, but also because there was no Yandi, the only natural danger in the north, they were victimized by the invasion of the Liao people in the south (until the Song and Liao countries signed the "Alliance of the Yuan", the Zhao and Song dynasties had to give the Liao State annual coins every year, and the Zhao and Song dynasties could barely maintain the security of the north), which made the successive emperors of the Zhao and Song dynasties afraid of the Liao State that occupied the Yan land. Desperate to recapture Yandi and plug the biggest defensive hole of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Ji made a clear statement and said: "I think it is better to attack Yanjing first." ”

Wang Hao agreed: "Your Majesty is right! If the thief captures the king first, the siege of the city is the first to break the fortification, if the first capture of Yanjing, Liaoxi Jing will not be attacked. ”

Although Zhao Ji spoke, Tong Guan still insisted on hitting Yundi first and then recovering Yandi.

Seeing that Tong Guan was stubborn, Zhao Ji said: "Otherwise, let the generals of the Western Army come to Beijing for a meeting to jointly discuss the route of the march and come up with a detailed and feasible plan for sending troops." ”

Tong Guan smiled: "This is the best, brainstorming is the way to win." ”

- Tong Guanman thought that the generals in the army were all his people, and these generals in the army must also know that from a military point of view, they should fight the clouds first.

But Tong Guan was wrong.

A king will always be a king, and a minister will always be a minister!

After receiving the order, the generals of the Western Army, such as Chongshidao and Liu Yanqing, came to Bianliang City in Tokyo one after another, and held a meeting in the Privy Council to discuss the plan for the Northern Expedition.

In the end, two solutions were born:

One plan was advocated by Tong Guan, to concentrate the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, Xijing, and then move to Daizhou, from Daizhou to the north, first take the three prefectures of Wei, Ying, and Shuo, and then occupy Liaoxijing.

Another plan was acquiesced by Zhao Ji, concentrating the soldiers and horses in the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing, and then moving the soldiers and horses to the Xiongzhou-Bazhou line, and then going north from Xiongzhou, crossing the Baigou River, occupying Zhuozhou, and then capturing Yanjing.

For these two plans, the generals had different opinions at first, and they were inconsistent.

But the strange thing is that after a few days of discussion, the plan to capture Yanjing won the support of the majority.

Later, Tong Guan inquired that it was Wang Hao who had done ideological work on the generals.

Zhao Ji is very satisfied with this result, because it is exactly what he wants.

This morning, Jiang Hongfei received the news from Lehe that Zhao Ji had officially issued an edict: ordering the Northwest Forbidden Army on Huanqing Road and Juyan Road to change guards with the Hebei Forbidden Army.

Huanqing and Yanyan were the main forces of the Western Army, and they were transferred to the Hebei front line to assemble, which must have been in preparation for the Northern Expedition.

Other armies that the Zhao and Song dynasties could fight were also quietly moving towards Hebei.

In other words, Hebei will soon concentrate the most elite army of the Zhao and Song dynasties, and its total strength, even if it does not reach one million, will definitely have five or seven hundred thousand.

Knowing these news, looking back at Wu Yong's strategy for Jiang Hongfei, it was simply self-destruction.

Not to mention that the Liao State is about to let the Jin State be disabled, it can't drag the Song army at all, the Song army is on the battlefield, and the Liao army is too late to send the Song army away, and it will definitely not stop the Song army from leaving.

Taking a step back, if Jiang Hongfei followed Wu's strategy to make trouble in Shuibo Liangshan, even if the Liao army stopped it, the Song army would have to withdraw its troops and return to King Qin as soon as possible.

There is no way, in the eyes of the people of the Zhao and Song dynasties, if they do not recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, they will at most remain as they are, but if Shuibo Liangshan, which is very close to Bianliang City in Tokyo, revolts, then it will only take two or three days to come to Bianliang City in Tokyo, how can the Song army not save it?

If things develop to that point, it is likely to evolve into a situation in which Jiang Hongfei's family fights lightning for Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La.

Let's put it this way, if Jiang Hongfei adopts Wu Yong's strategy, then all the dirty work and tiring work will have to be done by the heroes of Liangshan, and Shuibo Liangshan will also lose the opportunity to continue to develop and grow, let alone become the final winner of the Central Plains in the future.

Therefore, from the perspective of Wu Yongxian's strategy itself, it is simply a bad strategy.

However, Jiang Hongfei didn't think that Wu Yong was deliberate, because it couldn't stand scrutiny, and with the collection of news, as long as the IQ was online, everyone could see how bad Wu Yong's strategy was, even if Wu Yong had other thoughts, he would never be so stupid.

Jiang Hongfei estimated that the reason why Wu Yong offered this very low-level strategy was mainly because Wu Yong's lack of information, and Wu Yong was not good at formulating such a strategy to control the overall situation, and the time he gave Wu Yong was too short, so short that Wu Yong could only rely on the "exclusive news" given to him by Duan Jingzhu in order to show that he could only rely on Duan Jingzhu to make a fuss.

Jiang Hongfei did not show mercy to Wu Yong, but bluntly vetoed: "This strategy is not advisable. ”

Wu Yong listened to the words, and his heart was "groaning"!

- Wu Yong knew that he lost the bet, Jiang Hongfei must know the relevant news, and those news can easily overturn his claims.

Will Wu Yong suspect that Jiang Hongfei is targeting him?

No.

If Wu Yong had such thoughts, he would be insulting Jiang Hongfei and himself.

In fact, as soon as Jiang Hongfei opened his mouth, Wu Yong knew that the person with the problem must be him, because Jiang Hongfei would never be unscrupulous in such a major matter, otherwise Jiang Hongfei would not be a qualified hero, a qualified person who competes for domination in the world.

Wu Yongbai said: "It's Xiaosheng who is ignorant." ”

Jiang Hongfei didn't blame Wu Yong either.

Wu uses this person, although there are many problems, but there is definitely still ability.

It is impossible for Jiang Hongfei to reject Wu Yongjin because he offered a wrong strategy.

Jiang Hongfei got up, and then said, "You will go to Sun Jing to report later, and Dean Dai will follow me to be the leader of the pro-army." ”

Although he didn't get the position of military advisor all at once, how clever Wu Yong was, how could he not understand that Jiang Hongfei would give him a chance?

And Dai Zong, after listening to Jiang Hongfei's arrangement for him, finally put his heart back in his stomach completely.

Jiang Hongfei only stayed in Naitou Mountain for three days, and then returned to Shuibo Liangshan with relevant people.

The reason why Jiang Hongfei returned to Shuibo Liangshan so quickly was that the personnel here in Naitou Mountain were almost solved, and the rest was just to let Chao Gai finish; The second is that Fang La suddenly sent Fang Yuan and Chen Hoop bucket to envoy Shui Bo Liangshan, claiming that there was a big matter to discuss with Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei calculated the time, and then speculated on the current situation, it was estimated that Fang La should be about to revolt.

This is not only a big deal for Fang La, but also a big deal for Jiang Hongfei, and even a big deal for the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei immediately returned to Shuibo Liangshan and met with Fang Yuan and Chen Hoop in the Juyi Hall of Shuibo Liangshan.

Fang Yuan is Fang La's uncle, and when Jiang Hongfei was engaged in the Refined Salt Alliance, he had contact with him, so there is no need to say more.

And this Chen hoop bucket, although his original profession is just a hoop cooper, Jiang Hongfei will never underestimate him because of this.

According to Jiang Hongfei's knowledge, Chen Hoop was imprisoned for stealing other people's dogs in his early years, and his apprentices would gather some people to rob the prison and rescue him, so he went into exile, got acquainted with Fang La, and then persuaded Fang La to gather people to revolt, and became an important military advisor and an important general under Fang La.

Jiang Hongfei also knew that in history, after Fang La was captured, Tong Guan interrogated Fang La, who was the mastermind, and Fang La said that the mastermind was Chen Hoop Bucket.

Tong Guan heard the words and sent someone to catch Chen Hoop Bucket.

Tong Guan interrogated Chen Hoop Bucket: "Why did you teach Fang La to rebel?" ”

Chen Hoop didn't answer Tong Guan's question directly, but said: "Fang La didn't listen to me, so he was defeated." ”

Tong Guan asked, "What do you say?" ”

Chen hoop bucket replied: "Kill the emblem, strictly demonstrate, drive across the river, and tie people's hearts to enter Chang'an's ears." ”

——Chen hoop barrel means to first occupy Huizhou and Yanzhou (that is, Muzhou, renamed Yanzhou after the Fangla Uprising), suppress the local landlords and bureaucrats, establish military prestige, and then lead the rebel army to drive directly across the Yangtze River to the north, implement a policy that can win the hearts of the people, gain the support of the people, and then directly attack the capital of the Zhao and Song dynasties, Tokyo Bianliang City.

Chen's suggestion is insightful and has far-reaching strategic vision.

Chen Hoop Bucket also analyzed the situation: "The world is still like a barrel board, if you can hoop it, you will close, and if you can't hoop it, you will leave." ”

That is to say, persuade Fang La, if there are conditions for reunification, it will be unified, and if there are no conditions, it is better to divide one side first and wait for the situation to develop.

It can be seen that although Chen Hoop Barrel is a hoop cooper background, he has a very political and military vision.

Comparing Wu Yong's strategy for Jiang Hongfei, in a good direction, the two are good at different fields; And if you look in a bad direction, what is Wu Yong's overall view, how can it be compared with Chen Hoop Bucket?

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Jiang Hongfei asked bluntly: "I don't know what the two of you are here for?" ”

Fang Yuan listened to it, and said with a smile: "I heard that the master of Jiangzhai has not married yet, and the head of my family has a daughter, who is sixteen years old and beautiful like a flower, why don't you and I get married?" ”
