Chapter 326: Terrible Scheming
Xiao Han heard that Zhao Kuangyin asked him to do things for the Great Song Dynasty, and it was clear that he was trying to win himself over, but looking at the famous Song Taizu in history, it was fake to say that he was not moved. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info just thought that in this way, he didn't want to marry Li Yueying, and Murong Qiuyu probably wouldn't be happy, his Wudang faction couldn't all defect to the Cheng government, so how could it be mixed up like this?
There are also some deep-seated reasons that Xiao Han can't say. Since his defeat at Shi Chuyang, a heavy rain has passed, and a serious illness has passed, Xiao Han's heart has changed greatly, especially when he realizes that he is proficient in martial arts, he no longer needs to be afraid of demon cult figures such as black evil, and instead has the heart to compete with the demon sect to unify the rivers and lakes.
If he takes refuge in the Zhao family now, he will be a pawn of their brothers to unify the world at best. If you can accept it when you first come out of the rivers and lakes, now you feel aggrieved when you think about it, how can you find trouble for yourself again.
Seeing the expectant eyes of the two Zhao brothers, Xiao Han smiled and bowed and said: "Thank you for the emperor's love, it's just that I have always been used to wandering around the rivers and lakes, and I have no courtesy, plus my martial arts are low, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much." ”
Zhao Kuangyin had already thought that he would refuse, his tiger eyes flashed, and he waved his big hand and said: "It makes sense, the people in the rivers and lakes are really useless for dominating the world by fighting and killing gang grievances." Xiao Han didn't expect Zhao Kuangyin to look down on the characters in the rivers and lakes so much, his heart was slightly cold, and he bowed down and said: "The emperor is reasonable, we people have a narrow vision and attach too much importance to personal grievances, although it is harmless to the country, it is not very useful. ”
Zhao Guangyi looked at him meaningfully and said: "Since his debut, Master Xiao has repeatedly defeated strong enemies, and he has become a legend of all countries. Not only that, but there was news from Jiangnan that they were using a new method to train their troops, and it was said that everything originated from the originality of Master Xiao, so why would it be true that this matter was true? Since Master Xiao belonged to the rivers and lakes, why would he participate in the affairs of Jiangnan?"
This has an element of accusation, Xiao Han immediately realized that something was wrong, and the most fundamental purpose of the Zhao brothers summoning him today was not to restrain himself at all, but to ask about the training of troops in Jiangnan, or to torture his views on the general trend of the world. Now it seems that he is still too tender, and he has always thought that he has beaten the spy network of the Great Song Dynasty, but now it seems that there are still loopholes, and someone took advantage of the loophole and sent the information to Tokyo.
Xiao Han's eyes flashed, his heart turned sharply, and he said respectfully: "Jiangnan military training is Li Cunjia's business, and it has nothing to do with Zaixia, I was originally born in Jiangnan, but I just happened to talk to Jiangnan officials about some new military techniques, but I didn't expect them to start experiments in the army, I followed to the Great Song Dynasty to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and I don't know about the future." ”
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "In this way, it was Master Xiao who reminded them to train their troops, but I don't know if you have ever guided them to set up formations along the river to deal with my Great Song Border Army?"
Xiao Han was shocked, what a puff, it couldn't be that Li Congshan didn't know how high or low, and sent the Southern Tang Navy to provoke the Great Song Border Army? Looking at the faces of the Zhao brothers again, they were not as nervous as if they were going to fight, and immediately realized that they were still testing themselves, and immediately thought of a response in their hearts.
Xiao Han Zhengse said: "Although I am a figure in the rivers and lakes, I also have some opinions on the general trend of the world, especially after several lightning strikes, my thoughts are quite grotesque, but now I am afraid of frightening the emperor when I say it." ”
Zhao Kuangyin's face was stunned, and then smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhao Guangyi followed: "Master Xiao has a close relationship with the little sister of the Jiangnan Lord, which is already a well-known thing. We are like a family with Jiangnan, everyone is our own people, and I have an old acquaintance with the head of Xiao, and I hope that the head of Xiao has something to say, even if the words are inappropriate, I don't care about the royal brother. ”
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said with a smile: "I heard Guangyi talk about the head of Xiao, and I also heard that you have a good relationship with Zhao Chengzong. ”
Xiao Han knew that the two of them had already had the intention of taking the school examination, just like Zhang Quanyue and Li Congshan, the king of Zheng, who had previously assassinated Shi in Chizhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he really let the two brothers look down on him if he didn't show some dry goods. Thinking of this, Xiao Han slowly straightened up, glanced at the officials of Kaifeng Mansion who were standing upright, and said loudly: "The emperor is famous all over the world, and he is known for sweeping the four seas and clearing the Liuhe, but looking at the world, the Northern Han Dynasty has a strong Liao as a support, and it should not be moved lightly." If you want to achieve your goals, you must adopt a strategy of first south and then north. ”
As soon as the words fell, the audience was shocked. Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi's faces changed at the same time, at this time, Zhao Pu had not yet talked to Zhao Kuangyin about the unification strategy, but Xiao Han took the lead, and it was talking about Zhao Kuangyin's heart.
The Zhao brothers looked at each other a few times, and Zhao Guangyi said: "This sounds fresh, since the south first and then the north, I want to hear what the head of Xiao has in mind, there are many countries in the south, which side should I start from?"
Xiao Han originally wanted to follow the real historical process one by one, and then thought that now the Demon Sect has entered the Central Plains in a big way, and the goal is to direct the small country of Daoping, if he adds fuel to the fire, there will be a competition between the Demon Sect, the three sects and thirty-six factions, the Great Song Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In real history, Zhou Xingfeng, who first seized Hunan, was seriously ill and passed on the throne to his son Zhou Baoquan, but as a result, Zhang Wenbiao, the assassin of Hengzhou, rebelled, and Zhou Baoquan was outnumbered, so he hurriedly asked for help from the Great Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, he urgently sent the general Yang Shifan to quell the rebellion.
The Great Song Dynasty was overjoyed when he heard the news, and immediately sent Murong Yanzhao to lead the army south, using the false strategy of destroying Yu to destroy Nanping in Hubei first, and then regardless of the success of Wuping to suppress the rebellion, he forcibly marched into Jinghu Lake in one fell swoop, opening the curtain of unification.
He had already explained to Li Congshan when he left the Southern Tang Dynasty, and asked him to warn him that Jin Qiuping, the commander of the special forces "War Tiger", and Ge Shaofeng, the commander of the "Hidden Dragon", would closely monitor the development of the situation.
Seeing the Zhao brothers staring at him with burning eyes, Xiao Han calmed down and said: "Looking at the world, it has been more than 50 years since it was divided, and it will be united for a long time, and it will be a matter of time before the world is unified. ”
Zhao Kuangyin's eyes shrank, stared at him and said, "In your opinion, who should I attack first?" Zhao Guangyi followed: "Jiangnan's national strength is weak, and it stands across the river from my Great Song Dynasty, how about choosing it?"
Xiao Han glanced at the main hall, and found that those people were not ordinary officials of Kaifeng Mansion, but many fresh faces that he had never seen before, presumably all of them were Zhao Kuangyin's cronies. Whatever you say about today's events, it is estimated that no one will dare to spread it.
Xiao Han exhaled a breath and said calmly: "Jiangnan is not the first choice, not to mention the new establishment of the Great Song Dynasty Naval Army, the combat power is not good, and now Li Cunjia has not yet ascended the throne, Li Jingyuan avoids Hongzhou, if the emperor wants to attack Jiangnan, first, the Yangtze River is insurmountable, and second, there are a large number of loyal generals under Li Jing. ”
The faces of the people changed drastically, and they were silent. Zhao Kuangyin said thoughtfully: "Nanping and Wuping are small states, how about destroying them?" Xiao Han shook his head and said: "Nanping and Wuping have always been very respectful to China, and their teachers are unknown, which will inevitably cause resentment in the world. Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "This is reasonable, the Northern Han can't fight, the Jiangnan can't move, what about Wu Yue?"
Xiao Han smiled and said: "Wu Yue Qian has always served China obediently, and it has always been unknown. Zhao Guangyi interjected: "You mean to attack the Xishu Meng Clan?"
Xiao Han secretly said in his heart: Miss Meng, I'm sorry, who made your brother not angry, and my nephew is also a straw bag, for my goal, I can't let you suffer in advance. Putting away the guilt, Xiao Han said: "Meng Chang, the king of Xishu, trusts the crumbs, pampers the traitors, the people's grievances are boiling, and the people are living in dire straits. ”
Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said: "Shu Road is easy to defend and difficult to attack, how easy is it to attack?" Xiao Han shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, the founding of the country in Germany is not in danger, and the hearts of the Meng people have been lost, even if the sky is dangerous? ”
Xiao Han said impassionedly, everyone nodded again and again, and Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi were scorching and thoughtful. Zhao Guangyi said suddenly: "Although Master Xiao is in the rivers and lakes, he is so clear about the general trend of the world, if he stays in Tokyo, it is like fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes, wandering around." ”
Xiao Han said with a smile: "Everyone knows that I have a close relationship with Li Yueying, if I stay in Tokyo, once the two sides lose harmony, it will not be good for the country and me, and besides, I am used to wandering around, let alone a person who worries about the country and the people, and it is better for you to worry about national affairs." ”
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: "Reasonable, neither humble nor arrogant, Master Xiao is kind and generous." After a while, he smiled and said, "How about I help you be a matchmaker?"
