The Jurchen prince was led by the dull-skinned and gray-skinned dwarf, and prepared to leave the Zhuozhou territory to report to the Jurchen relatives and nobles about the injustice of their beloved sons. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhou Bofu looked at the stone stalactites that shimmered with a little light above his head, and didn't say a word.

After a while, his voice sounded: "It's not enough, the Khitan who is about to destroy the country and the clan, the Jurchens who are brave and brutal with a little blood, where is the best way to set off enough wind and rain?"

No one answered his question, only the stalactites above his head were silent.

......

.........

The Great Song Hejian Mansion is also a busy scene of the army at this moment.

For no other reason, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty and the Emperor of the Jin State finally made an alliance on the sea, and made up their minds to attack Liao and recover the hometown of Yanyun of the Han family.

The Liao army, which was mainly based on the Western Army and supplemented by the Bianliang Forbidden Army, was under the leadership of Tong Guan, the Xuanfu envoy, and was marching towards the Liao border.

After the promotion of countless well-intentioned people, coupled with the decline of Khitan national affairs, even three-year-old children can't hide it, and Zhao Ji, who has always taken "Fengheng Yuda" as the basic national policy, where can he let go of such an opportunity?

Back then, Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi swept away the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty with a hundred battles and conquered Liao, but he played a good hand of cards to a sparse extent, and ended up with millions of corpses on the bank of the Sorghum River, and the dignity of the dignified son of heaven became the arrow target of the Khitans, and he could only lie on the back of a donkey and escape in panic.

Then Zhenzong was forced by Prime Minister Kou Zhun to drive the expedition in person, but the old army leaders played a trick and the reinforcements did not come, which frightened Zhenzong and Xiao Yanyan and Han De to make the tanyuan alliance between the two of them. From then on, he only played some magic stick tricks of sealing Zen Mount Tai and descending to earth, and he did not dare to look north for the rest of his life.

When it came to Zhao Ji's father and brothers, Shenzong and Zhezong tried to cheer up, and the river opened up, so that the Western Xia was trapped in Helan Mountain and could not come out again, and the Khitan, which was increasingly corrupt and chaotic and constantly disputed in the palace, had no strength to go south. Although there are still people like Sima Guang who have misled the country and pulled a lot of hindrances, at least the defensive position since Zhao Guangyi was reversed in one fell swoop.

These experiences are not without influence on Zhao Ji.

What's more, over the years, he has overhauled the palace temple, recruited Taoist officials, remade ritual music, and collected Hanmo, as an artist and collector, he has been extremely happy, and even extremely satisfied.

In other words, Zhao Ji, an all-round artist, finally plans to raise his head from his gardens, palaces, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques, and change to a more exciting game to have fun.

Of course, even if it was a major event related to the fortunes of the Zhao family in Tianshui, such as the invasion of Liao, Zhao Ji's absurd and easy temperament could not be restrained a little.

As the commander of the Liao, Tong Guan, the Xuanfu envoy, although he was born as an eunuch, he also participated in the opening of the river. In terms of martial arts, even if Tong Guan can't be compared with a famous general like Qin Han, the eunuch of the early Song Dynasty, but at least he is a little courageous, and he can fight hard against the emperor's edict at the beginning, and he is not a layman.

Therefore, although in terms of the system at this time, the Xuanfu envoy is not allowed to serve as the minister of the two governments, everyone still acquiesces to the result of Tong Guan being the Xuanfu envoy.

But the two deputy commanders of the Liao army, that configuration makes it impossible not to complain.

Xuanfu Deputy Envoy Cai You, this Xiao Cai Bachelor is a famous romance with Bianliangzi, not to mention military affairs, even the talent of managing politics and seeing things is not a little, the only commendable thing is that Xiao Cai Bachelor is very particular about eating, drinking and having fun, and is an indispensable help for Zhao Ji on weekdays. Of course, as the eldest son of Cai Jing's family, Xiao Cai is also very talented in party struggle, and the old man of his family is indispensable to connect Cai You behind his back.

Such a character is the deputy marshal, which has already made people of insight look at it.

But how much more is Zhao Ji's absurdity and ease?

This time, he sent out two Xuanfu deputy envoys at the same time, and the other Xuanfu deputy envoy is the hottest Taoist official after Lin Lingsu Lin Shichen, Qingxu Doctor, Mr. Dongling Shoujing, and Xu Xuanling, the waiter of Baoguang Palace!

For Xu Xuanling, a Taoist official, he suddenly became the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, which is also a rare and unique thing in all dynasties. When Zhao Ji and his brother Zhezong were in power, this will alone would cause an uproar in the government and the opposition, and the eastern and western governments would strike together, and they would not give up until they pushed this will back.

But now the person in charge of the East Mansion is Wang Huang, the prodigal son of the team, and the purpose of this official is to only meet the official family, who cares about the uproar!

So after Taizong invaded Liao, the commander of another army in the Great Song Dynasty was a strange combination of a eunuch, a gentleman, and a Taoist priest.

I don't know how many Qingliu people are shaking their heads, and sighing with emotion!

And from the moment this Liao army became an army, it seemed that its mind was not on fighting.

The brothers of the Western Army and the brothers are already veterans in the army, and the family has served in the Western Army for several generations since the generation of Shiheng, and now they have become the number one general in the Western Army, which is equivalent to the veritable head of the Western Army, the only military group in the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Western Army really wants to give full play to its elite strength in a hundred battles, then it should be led by the brothers of the seed family, mobilize all the military horses, and pass through the states and counties with a dignified and upright momentum, and steadily occupy the states and counties in the land of Yanyun one by one, which is the strategy that the Song army should choose the most.

But whether it is Tong Guan or Cai You, there is no interest in this most secure strategy.

Why?

It's not because the Western Army has its own system, outsiders can't splash water, and needles can't penetrate, if the Western Army is allowed to make this immortal feat of pacifying and destroying the Liao State, then how will the Western Army be divided and disintegrated in the future?

You must know, how did the Tianshui Zhao clan win the country? It was Zhao Kuangyin, who was the general of the Later Zhou Forbidden Army, who mutined against Chen Qiao and wore a yellow robe. Therefore, the descendants of the Zhao family can rule the world with scholars, but they cannot tolerate the fact that the martial forces have a little bit of a thunder pool.

Therefore, the army was in HB, but Tong Guan and Cai You did not have the slightest intention of going north to attack Yanyun immediately, but first had to deal with the western army.

In the Western Army, the strongest field battle and the most prosperous military appearance are the Qinfeng and Jingyuan armies that have been in the army for many years, followed by the Xihe Army that was only formed in the time of Huanqing Army and Shenzong. There are people with good deeds, and even the commander of the four roads of the Western Army is called the four ministers of the Western Army.

The two armies of Qin Feng and Jingyuan, from the famous general in the Renzong period, were planted by Shiheng, followed by their sons, and among the grandchildren and grandchildren, there were three generations of generals, and the authority was the heaviest. Originally, in the Shenzong Dynasty, the Western Army and the Yao family were on a par with the seed family, but now, even the head of the Yao family and the Xihe Road pass through the Yao Ancient Capital. Up and down the Western Army, everyone only recognizes the banner of the plant, not to mention those generals and colonels who are now in the prime of life, from the time they can remember, the old man is the leader of the Western Army, and he is a well-deserved leader of the Western Army!

So it stands to reason that Tong Guan and Cai You's target fell completely on the cultivation master.

In the Xuanfu envoy hall, from Tong Guan down, everyone does not wear armor, and the waist is not strangled, but the round neck and jade belt of the official clothes are around the waist, and they sit quietly. In addition to the slight difference in the color of the uniforms of the civil and military classes, as well as the difference in the physique between the civil and military ministers, this section is particularly harmonious.

Tong Guan is already a man of fifty years away, but after many years of military career, he has also been tempered to a face as black as iron, strong muscles and bones, and even creatively grows more than a dozen hairs like wire. This dignity is really too far from the eunuch in the stereotypical perception of ordinary people.

In comparison, Cai You's appearance is much better, and he really inherited his old son Cai Jing's good skin like jade, born with beautiful eyebrows and handsome eyes, five locks of beautiful hair, and the temperament of the family who smiled before saying a word, which is really forgetful at first sight.

In such a combination of martial arts and literature, Xu Xuanling, who is also the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, is missing.

These days, as soon as Xu Xuanling met Tong Guan to convene a major general of the Western Army to discuss the military situation, he shirked his cultivation at a critical moment, and he had no time to attend the meeting, and even the wine banquet was just a sip of tea and left. Xu Xuanling's unsociable attitude inevitably made those customs officials who ran with Tong Guan and Cai You very dissatisfied, and secretly ridiculed this Xuanfu deputy envoy for selling his reputation - you are now pretending to be a hidden gentleman with an unclean heart, before drilling the camp and dedicating himself to the official family, as a Taoist priest, he got a moment sent by the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, why didn't you care about eating something?

But Tong Guan and Cai You are such experienced officialdom people, it can be clearly seen that although this Xu Shichen is loved by the officials, he is a character who knows how to advance and retreat. This is obviously to show his heart to Tong Guan and Cai You, and he Xu Xuanling doesn't ask about military and political matters, as long as Tong Guan and Cai You remember to share his share of the great achievements of the war against Liao.

Of course, if Tong Guan and Cai Youruo want to take his share of credit, Xu Shichen is not without the means to reach the heavens!

However, at this moment, in the festival hall, Xu Xuanling, the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, is about the same as non-existence for Tong Guan, Cai You, and even the old and small races, who control the Western Army.

Tong Guan below, everyone had a loyal look on their faces, just listening to Cai You's eloquent talk:

"The reason why the official family is benevolent and virtuous is not to conquer the Liao land, it is not to storm the Qin and strong Hans, but to expand the territory and boast of the wilderness. It is really the end of the Yelu clan, and the Song and Liao leagues for a hundred years, about brothers, the official family really can't bear the Liao family to exclude its ancestors, so they send volunteers, rejuvenate the king's division, and want to welcome the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State to be raised in Bianliang, in order to preserve the old good, I have to be an ear!"

Even though Cai You said it sincerely, no matter how high-sounding his words were, he still couldn't erase the ambiguity between the smiling Qinglou girl and the chastity archway.

However, the brothers sitting below and the brothers in the planters, Liu Yanqing of the Huanqing Army and Yao Gu of the Xihe Army, just listened solemnly, and Liu Yanqing even showed a look of "the ministers are full of admiration for the benevolence of the officials".

But the next words spread out a strange atmosphere in the festival hall: "Because of this, if you want to achieve this immortal miracle since Taizu Taizong, you must have a general to command the army." Therefore, according to a certain foolish opinion, the vanguard of entering Liao must be the Jingyuan army as the vanguard, the Qin Feng army as the middle army, the Xihe army and the Huanqing army to cover the flanks, and Tong Xuanfu to lead the capital gate control army in the center. I don't know how foolish Cai is, what does the old man think?"

The old man is already in his seventies, and the old man with white hair is still in good spirits, and his brain is not stiff at all, but he smiled slightly, and responded: "The official family sent me to the north to take the land of Yanyun and return it to the Han family, to make up for the hatred of Yizu, the shame of Xue Taizong, and the matter of sincerity and virtue! The whole of the Western Army is a clumsy and straightforward person, where do they know how to talk about His Majesty's holy virtues! It is better to be under the Metropolitan Gate Control Army, for a long time, to accept the Holy Grace, smart and handsome, and not to be as good as that generation of soldiers and men, such a heavy task, it is better to call the Metropolitan Gate Control Army to lead. ”

Cai You was pushed by the old seed neither soft nor hard, and suddenly froze, but he only smiled slightly and stopped speaking.

This is the method set by him and Tong Guan, as long as the Western Army led by Lao Chong is the vanguard, and Cai You contacts Wang Huang again, fooling Zhao Ji, a ridiculous and easy official, to make such a will to "show holiness", then in this process of "demonstrating holiness" and marching peacefully all the way, the combat strength of the Western Army led by Qin Fengjun will be equivalent to more than half of it. Then next, Tong Guan and Cai You can justifiably squeeze out the old and small races from the war against Liao, so that their party can monopolize the great credit!

As for how many fighters will be delayed because of this kind of infighting and party strife in this war against Liao, and how many weaknesses will be exposed to the rising Jurchens, this is not in the consideration of Tong Guan and Cai You.

In that time and space without the influence of external forces, it was because of the selfish selfishness of Tong Guan and Cai You that in the face of the Liao State that could be destroyed with one kick, the Song army invaded Liao, and wasted most of the year tepidly in this peaceful hike of "preaching holy virtues". Then, the Liao army was defeated by the Liao defenders, who had pieced together the last bit of their foundation, and were defeated under Yanjing City. In the face of the old and small species who clearly showed their hands and watched the jokes, Tong Guan even simply gave up all actions to recover Yanyun by force, and directly ransomed Yanyun's land from the Jurchens.

It was precisely because of such an unbearable performance of the Song army that the Jurchens visited Bianliang with great enthusiasm after eliminating the remnants of the Liao State.

That year, it was Jingkang.

And at this time, the open and secret battles between Tong Guan, Cai You, the old species, and the small species are not bad at all!

Cai You touched a soft nail in front of the old man, and Tong Guan was about to take out his identity as the coach to press the old seed again, but the pro-army outside suddenly came to report: "Xuanfu, the deputy envoy Xu has arrived outside, saying that there is something important to discuss with the ministers." ”

This sentence attracted all the eyes of the house to look out, and the little race was more eager, and stood up directly.

And Tong Guan and Cai You glanced at each other, their eyes full of suspicion and vigilance: "That Taoist priest who talks with the official family all day long, but at this moment, he is suddenly going to change his sex and come to the festival?
