Second, conquer Shinshu 7

Song Xiang

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, 'a hundred-legged insect dies without stiffness' The Southern Song Dynasty is also a big country that has experienced 200 years, how can it die in one day?" What's more, if you want to unify the world since the dynasties, it will take more than ten years, or a few years, how can it be achieved overnight, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, please think twice? ”

Before Yan Yong could speak, he sneered: "Speaking of which, it turns out that Changzhi is afraid of Yang Yan, so you want to avoid him in every possible way." It's ridiculous, ridiculous. ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said lightly: "Soldiers, treacherous ways, secluded and false, avoiding the strong and attacking the weak is the way to use soldiers, not the courage of a horseman." ”

Xiao Qu was immediately furious, and pointed to Wanyan Changzhi: "You ......" and then ignored him, turned to Wanyan Yongshi, and said: "Your Majesty, Wanyan Changzhi is afraid of Yang Yan, but the minister is not afraid, although the minister is not good, he is willing to lead the troops to attack Xinzhou, and fight to the death with Yang Yan, if he can't win, he will never come back to meet His Majesty." ”

Xiao Qu is different from Wanyan Changzhi, Su Shi Lie Zhining and others, he has never fought with Yang Yan, although he has also heard about Yang Yan's previous battles, but after all, he has not personally experienced Yang Yan's elusive use of soldiers, and in his heart, he really doesn't care too much about Yang Yan. And he was quite unhappy that Wan Yan Changzhi could be juxtaposed with himself at a young age, and he was usually a little impotent to Wan Yan Changzhi, but now Wan Yan Changzhi actually said in front of the emperor that his plan was inappropriate, which immediately angered Po Sa, and immediately became aggressive, and Wan Yan Changzhi went toe-to-toe.

However, Wan Yan Yong didn't dare to ignore Wan Yan Changzhi's opinion, and after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that Wan Yan Changzhi's plan was more stable and his success was more certain. It's just that Yan Changzhi's plan is used up, and if he wants to pacify the Southern Song Dynasty, it will not work without two or three years, and if the plan of withdrawal is successful, it will only take half a year at most, and the overall situation can be determined.

For the war, Wan Yanyong, as the emperor of Dajin, cannot consider it purely from a military point of view, but must think about it in a comprehensive manner. He also knew that in fact, Dajin was not fully prepared to send troops on this southern expedition. At present, the consumption of national strength is almost close to the limit. If it weren't for the fact that Yijing occupied the land of Lianghuai and Zhejiang in the Southern Song Dynasty, he could get some supplements from these places, and Dajin would have been out of town a long time ago.

In the month of sitting in the capital of Shangling, the Taishi Zhang Hao sent three letters to Wan Yan Yong, bluntly saying that although the treasury was not yet empty, it was also stretched thin, and it was difficult to continue the war, so please Wan Yan Yong quit the army as soon as possible. Of course, now that the war has reached this point, Wan Yanyong will never be willing to quit the army, because once the army is withdrawn, the Southern Song Dynasty will never give up, and will definitely try every means to recapture the land of Lianghuai and Zhejiang, so this time the efforts of the southern expedition will be in vain. But Wan Yanyong also knows that with Dajin's national strength, there will be a year at most now, and if it takes longer, I am afraid that it will provoke a riot like the Red Jacket Army. But how can Jiangnan be pacified in one year? Wan Yanyong also fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a guard came in, knelt on the ground, and said: "Report to Your Majesty, An Ze Guoshi has arrived in Lin'an, and now outside the palace gate, I ask to see Your Majesty." ”

Wan Yanyong was slightly stunned and said, "I said that I have invited a national teacher." ”

After waiting for the guards to go down, after a while, a tall monk wearing a big red robe came to the hall, put his palms together to Wan Yan Yong, gave a salute, and said, "Poor monk An Ze, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Wan Yanyong said with a smile: "The national teacher is exempt from courtesy. ”

This monk is the current national teacher of Dajin, An Ze Living Buddha, he looked around the hall and smiled at Wanyan Changzhi: "Changzhi, you are also here?" How are you going to be Master Pufeng? ”

Wanyan Changzhi smiled slightly, and also gave An Ze a salute, and said: "The national teacher is fine, he is busy with state affairs, and he hasn't seen his master for two years. ”

An Ze nodded and said with a smile: "There is a way that loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and it will be difficult for you to arrive." Didn't your four uncles come too? Don't know where they are now? ”

Wan Yan Changzhi's face turned red, and his heart was unnatural. The four disciples of Pufeng pursued Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru, and as a result, they met a reclusive peerless swordsman Dugu Idiot in a small village in the Jixi Territory, and as a result, Dugu Idiot challenged Pu Feng in front of the four disciples, injured Shi Luo Jiuma, and must rush back to Huining Temple within three months, and ask Pufeng to rescue him in order to save his life. Therefore, after the four disciples returned to Lin'an, they immediately explained this matter to Yan Yong. Wan Yan Yong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent five hundred men and horses, and a big car with four people to rush back to Huining Temple to see Pufeng. Several people present also knew about this matter, but in front of An Ze, it was difficult for Wan Yan Changzhi to speak.

In fact, An Ze also knew that he asked this on purpose. An Ze was originally a senior monk of the Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, who went to the Jin Kingdom to preach more than ten years ago, and was quite respected by the then Dajin Emperor Wanyan Liang, so he stayed in the Jin Kingdom and opened a temple to preach. The position of the Great Jin National Teacher was originally Pufeng's, but because Pufeng was dissatisfied with Yan Liang's actions back then, he proclaimed himself Huining Temple. So Wan Yan Liang changed to worship An Ze as the national teacher. After Yan Yong ascended the throne, although he still respected An Ze as the national teacher, he still respected Pu Feng, and always put Pu Feng's position in front of An Ze under Dajin. Pufeng is still called the national teacher, and when it comes to Anze, he must add his Dharma name in front of the national teacher, called Anze national teacher

Although An Ze was unhappy in his heart, he also knew that he was not as good as the wind no matter what point, so he could only endure this breath. However, he also held his breath and must make some achievements to overwhelm Pufeng. This time, the four disciples pursued Yang Yan unsuccessfully, which happened to be an opportunity to attack Pufeng, so he asked Yan Changzhi in the palace.

Of course, Wan Yan Yong knew about it, and he didn't want to embarrass Wan Yan Changzhi, and said, "Isn't the national teacher in Nanjing?" Is there anything wrong with rushing to Lin'an? ”

Although he knew that the emperor deliberately diverted the topic so that Wan Yan Changzhi would not be embarrassed, since the emperor asked, An Ze did not want to ask Wan Yan Changzhi and replied: "The poor monk has good news, and he specially rushed to tell His Majesty. ”

Wan Yanyong also smiled and said, "What good news, the national teacher will say it quickly?" ”

An Yi was not in a hurry, took out a letter from his arms, raised it above his head and said, "Please see it at your majesty." ”

I had already received the letter and presented it to Wan Yanyong. Wan Yanyong took the letter, opened it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, stood up from the chair, and said, "National teacher, is this true?" ”

An Ze smiled slightly and said, "How dare a poor monk tease Your Majesty for such a big event." This is absolutely true. Moreover, the poor monk sent two disciples with eighteen monks in the temple to ensure that the matter could be successfully completed. ”

Wan Yan Yong thought about it again and said: "This matter is related to the success or failure of this southern expedition, I think it is better to ask the national teacher to go on a trip in person to preside over the overall situation, so that I can feel at ease, I don't know what the national teacher wants?" ”

An Ze was busy clasping his palms together and said, "Do your best for the country, and the poor monks have no responsibility." ”

Wan Yan Yong was overjoyed and said: "I immediately ordered Wan Yan Yuanmou to obey the orders sent by the national teacher." As for other matters, the national teacher should exercise his own discretion and act cheaply, and there is no need to be like my announcement. ”

Zhao Qianru walked into the temporary palace and saw Zhao Chen sitting in a chair in a daze, as if he had infinite concerns. Zhao Qianru couldn't help but say, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong with you." Is there anything upset about? ”

In fact, in the past few days, good news has been spreading, Yang Yan recovered Xinzhou and Huizhou in Jiangnan, and Li Xianzhong also recovered Dengzhou, and the entire Tianlin Mansion was full of joy. Moreover, Li Bao was appointed to Jiangzhou through the scriptures, and he would soon launch an attack from the waterway. Although it can't be said that the situation is very good, it is also developing in a good direction, Zhao Qian really can't think of anything else Zhao Chen has to worry about.

Zhao Chen said: "Since I became the emperor, everyone has changed, you, brother-in-law, Liuniang, the sisters and brothers of the Yue family, and the twelve mothers are all different from before. You guys are better, especially the brothers and sisters of the Yue family, I have told them several times, in private, they are still the same as before, don't be so respectful, and don't need to be courteous, but they just don't listen, only the big girl Gu is the best, what was it before, it is still the same now, it has not changed at all. Why can't they all be like Miss Gu? ”

Zhao Qianru listened, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, Zhao Chen has always grown up by her side, lacking playmates of the same age. It was only in the past two years that I met young people like Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping, Yue Ying, and Yue Ke, who were similar to him, and they got along very well. But since Zhao Chen succeeded to the throne, the relationship between them has changed, and they are no longer as harmonious as before. Zhao Wanru didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of him, and Yue Ying and Yue Ke were even more restrained every time they saw him, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads. Zhao Chen felt very bored.

And Tie Chenglin has always been silent and said less, doing more and saying less. Only Gu Xueping, although she is a girl, she has a big temperament, and she has been floating in the rivers and lakes, and she is not jealous of the royal rules, so only her attitude towards Zhao Chen is the same as before. After Zhao Chen ascended the throne on the first day, Gu Xueping followed Zhao Qianru into the palace, and patted Zhao Chen's shoulder with a smile as before: "Xiao Chen is the emperor now, change this clothes, it's different." ”

It only frightened the surrounding eunuchs into a panic. I had never seen that maid so bold as to pat the emperor on the shoulder and speak like this. At that time, a eunuch complained to Gu Xueping for a few words, but was taught a lesson by Zhao Chen, and no one dared to care about Gu Xueping anymore. Now everyone in the palace knows that this is a big girl for Gu, and she can pat the emperor on the shoulder and speak.

Zhao Qianru sighed softly, Zhao Chen is still a child after all, and it is indeed too difficult to bear such a heavy burden now. Only then did she understand why the mother table still called him by his name as before. Just as he was about to comfort him a few words, suddenly an internal servant hurriedly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, now there are Chen Xianggong, Han Shumi, Yang Laojun Wang and others outside, saying that there is an urgent military situation and they want to meet Your Majesty." ”

The two sisters and brothers were taken aback when they heard this, and Zhao Chen hurriedly said, "Invite them in." ”

A short time later, several people hurried in. Chen Junqing took an official document and didn't care about saluting, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, something happened in Sichuan." ”
