Chapter 235: National Fortune (2)
"Lord, don't hide it, I'm here this time to discuss important matters!" Murong Jiu said solemnly.
"How important?"
"If you advance, you can protect the national fortune of the Northern Dynasty and Jiazi, and if you retreat, you can be stable for a few more years!"
Jin Tianrui's eyes lit up when he heard this, he didn't care about the thousands of years, or even the name behind him, but he valued the enjoyment and power of this life, only if the Northern Dynasty was immortal, he could have these.
If he can really add to the fortune of the country, then he will have no worries in this life.
"Murong Jianghu said in detail......"
After that, Murong Jiu will cooperate with Murong Nanping Murong Yixiu of the Great Empire, and the other party will create an opportunity to give Murong Jiu the opportunity to assassinate the Emperor Khan a few months later, when the Emperor Khan is on a personal expedition...... And so on.
After hearing Taki's name, Jin Tianrui had a sad face and an expression that couldn't make up his mind.
He naturally knew what kind of character Nanping Murong was, if at the cost of the temporary turmoil in the empire, let Lu Yixiu take the throne, Jin Tianrui always felt that this was a bit of a thirst quenching.
He is when you are in the prime of life, and now drink the cup of wine of Takiyi Xiu, he feels that he can't wait for himself to enter the ground, and the Northern Dynasty will be poisoned.
"Murong Jianghu doesn't know anything, and it is appropriate to repair this person......"
"This person is eloquent and strategic, different from ordinary imperial barbarians, not only is he more proficient in military strategy and government affairs, but he also knows the truth of occasionally setting up an archway, once he ascends to the throne, he is ten times more dangerous than the emperor!" Murong Jiu answered.
"Since Murong Jianghu knows, why do you want to cooperate with him?"
"It is precisely because I know that I did not say any nonsense that he agreed to never offend, and he is nothing more than trying to calculate me, so why don't I want to calculate him? If everything goes well, I would like to kill him together, and then my country will be safe from suffering any trouble, and there is even hope of counterattack. Murong Jiu said.
"And what if it fails?"
"So I hope that Jia Zhubo will cooperate! At that time, no matter whether I can successfully assassinate Takiyi Xiu or not, as long as I take advantage of the emperor's death, there will be at least one great victory in the battle of the hidden army, and then I must counterattack the north, and if I return to the old capital Kaifeng and recapture the danger of the Yellow River, I will be at ease. Murong Jiu said.
"Hey, Murong Jianghu doesn't know, where is it so simple to fight on this march, even if the empire is in chaos for a while, at most my Song army can win a big victory, but if it is a counteroffensive...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch it!" Jin Tianrui said with some difficulty.
Murong Jiu was slightly angry when he heard this: "Hmph! Master Jia, are you underestimating the Song Army, or are you still thinking about weakening the power of the military attache!"
Being questioned by Murong Jiu so bluntly, Jin Tianrui's face was also a little ugly: "Why did Murong Jianghu say this? The weak and flat-headed people in our army also know that it is still the merit of the high walls of the city to defend it to this day......."
"Weak? The territory of the Song State is now only one-twentieth of the great empire, and the Liao State, which was strong in the past, and the distant Persia and foreign lands have long been flattened by the imperial iron cavalry, and the Song State has survived to this day, relying on the weak Song army?" Murong Jiu did not relent.
"This ......"
"Hehe, does Jia Zhubo want to wait until the Great Empire completely develops the power of that vast and fertile territory and directly crushes the Song State to death, and then he is willing to regret today's incident? Not to mention, the Arab Empire has been conquered by the Great Empire, and their return artillery is not inferior to the Song Army's artillery, when will the imperial people react, when this thing has a crushing effect on the city wall that Jia Zhubo relies on, what else does Jia Zhubo want to rely on?" Murong Jiu sneered.
Jin Tianrui was silent, but Murong Jiu continued: "The empire hasn't broken Hengyang yet, but it hasn't done its best, and Dali is about to be in a hurry, right? But if you want to come to the Song State to take care of yourself, you don't have time to take care of him, and when Dali is broken, the Song State will be completely embattled, if the empire really focuses entirely on the Song State, with one-twentieth of the territory, how long can it be defended? Jia Zhubo still doesn't want to fight once? This may be the last chance to gamble!"
“...... How sure is Murong Jianghu?" Jin Tianrui still hesitated.
"There is a ten-percent certainty of killing the emperor, and killing Takiyi is less than fifty-percent, as for whether you can fight back to Kaifeng, it depends on the performance of the Song army. ”
"Fifty percent ......"
Jin Tianrui always felt that he had lost, Taki Yixiu could not die, it was almost impossible to fight back to Kaifeng, but it would cost the people and money, and further reduce the fortunes of the country...... Then do you still have a good life of your own?
But if you don't fight, even if you win the last game in Hengyang, I'm afraid it will indeed be as Murong Jiu said, you can hold on for ten years at most, can you be willing to enjoy another ten years?
Seeing Jin Tianrui's last hesitation, Murong Jiu smiled secretly in his heart, and decided to sacrifice the biggest Murong card: "If Master Jia is worried that the expansion of the military attaché's power will be unfavorable to you, then you might as well personally lead the army?"
Jin Tianrui's face was even more ugly, where was he willing to do such a thing?
"Then there is a simple way! Why don't you ask the emperor to find an official to lead the army, and follow the example of Tong Guan back then, Jia Zhubo is not worried that those eunuchs will support the army and become bigger, and even squeeze out Jia Zhubo, right?"
Jin Tianrui's face changed slightly when he heard this, obviously he was moved......
And that night, Murong Jiu entered the palace again, contacted Han Shouguo, and told him that the inn was likely to start planning the Northern Expedition, and let an official lead the army, let him fight hard!
Three months after the departure of the non-toxic Zen master, the young emperor Khan drove the expedition in person, wanting to take advantage of the victory in Hengyang to enhance his prestige in one fell swoop, not only to consolidate his power, to urge the queen mother to return to power, but also to suppress his brother who was unwilling to be subordinate.
What he didn't expect was that his plan was very smooth, and Takiyi Xiu had no intention of hindering him, but just came to the front line in Hengyang with him.
But the emperor doesn't care, he is the emperor of the Great Empire, and Lu Yixiu is just Nanping Murong, even if the two of them are together, when Hengyang City is broken, it must be his own merit and prestige!
For this reason, the emperor even did not hesitate to go against the grand strategy formulated by his father before, and slowed down the momentum of the attack on Dali.
Originally, the Great Empire regarded Hengyang as the last hard bone to gnaw, but now the emperor is in a hurry and wants to start a general attack on Hengyang in advance.
And in the same month, the Song court also made people fall through the glasses, and it turned out to be 50,000 forbidden troops in the capital, plus 50,000 from all over the country, to form an army of 100,000 to Hengyang, called the Xiangxiang Army.
Coupled with Hengyang's original 150,000 military horses, it is already a rare large-scale effort for the southern country.
This is also the benefit of Jin Tianrui's dictatorship, otherwise if it was the time of Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the court would have quarreled for a year and a half, and I am afraid that it would not be able to end up in this matter.
However, Jin Tianrui is still "vicious and difficult to change", and he is unwilling to give the military attache a chance to become bigger, so he actually asks the official governor to help the military.
