Chapter 620: Fearing the Enemy Like a Tiger
"The king, the king, Pharmacist Guo is reversed, Pharmacist Guo is reversed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Outside the main hall, there was an angry voice from Yelu Dashi, he strode in, and saw where Li Jing was still writing in the main hall, and his face showed a trace of worry, and he couldn't help but step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Guo Yaoshi has reversed, leading more than 10,000 resentful troops towards Waqiao Pass. ”
"Lord Yelu, is a Pharmacist Guo worthy of your nervousness?" Li Jing said with a smile: "Didn't you let you negotiate with Cai Jing?" How's it going? ”
"Your Majesty, Cai Jing's old fox hasn't appeared in the last two days." Yelu Dashi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said.
"That's right, Pharmacist Guo went to find Tong Guan, and things were right. It's coming, it's coming, and it's just a catch. Li Jing handed over the letter in his hand with a smile and said, "Pass my order, make Li Qiao the general Luan Tingyu as the deputy general, lead the army of 50,000, enter Guanzhong, and block Tongguan." ”
"The king is going to capture Guanzhong?" Yelu Dashi's face changed when he heard this, Li Jing This is the first time to seize the land of the Song Dynasty, Guanzhong is on the side of Hedong Road, it has been the land of Wang Xing since ancient times, and I don't know how many emperors have seized Guanzhong, and then seized the world. Yelu Dashi originally thought that he would not capture Guanzhong until Li Jing returned to the division, but he didn't expect Li Jing to order Li Qiaoxing to seize Guanzhong now.
"There are a lot of losses this time, we have to find a place to add it, although Guanzhong is broken and poor, but there is a lot of population, just to solve the problem of the proportion of Han people in the army." Li Jing sighed: "It's a pity that the Han people in Youzhou probably won't follow us. Otherwise, we will not have enough troops. ”
"I'm afraid it's not that the king doesn't want the Han people in Youzhou, but for the sake of future consideration, let the Han people in Youzhou lurk in Youzhou as nails, and wait for the next time the army returns, so that he can easily capture Youzhou!" Yelu Dashi couldn't help but laugh. If you want the people of Youzhou, how simple things are, the army will drive away, and you can empty Youzhou, but Li Jing did not do this, not only did he not do this, but he also divided all the land taken from the gentry to the people of Youzhou, so that the people of Youzhou will all read Li Jing's good, the next lord of Youzhou, whether it is the Jin people or the Song people, will not allow those lands to be owned by the people, and those lands will be recaptured, in this way, it will be dishonest to the people, and the people will look forward to Li Jing's return. The next time Li Jing enters Youzhou, he will definitely be loved by the people.
"Lord Jerod is a man who understands." Li Jing smiled and did not defend himself, this trick was learned by the Taizu of later generations, and it was not this method that made our army leave a deep impression in the hearts of the peasants, which not only gave our party a deep mass foundation, but also gave the army a source of soldiers. Li Jing is doing the same trick now.
"King Shengming, I'm afraid that although the Song family wins Youzhou in the future, it will not win the hearts of the people of Youzhou." Yelu Dashi sighed, he sighed for Tong Guan, it was not good to offend anyone, but he was against Li Jing.
"The hearts of the people? In fact, the people's hearts are really hard to say, my Li Jing's people's hearts in the Central Plains are not very good, and if I enter Guanzhong immediately, the people of Guanzhong may not support me, but so what, time can solve everything. Li Jing shook his head and said indifferently. The will of the people is very important, but when your absolute strength exceeds that of your opponents, the will of the people is not important. The land of Guanzhong did not fall into the hands of the Jin people later, and the Han people opposed the Jin people at first, but more than ten years have passed, and the Jin people have completely gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains. Later, if it weren't for the corruption of the Jin people and the rise of the Mongol army, the people who finally seized the world might not have been the Jin people.
"The king's words have broken through the location of the organ, leaving people speechless." Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly. People in the world want to win the hearts of the people and win the world, but they have forgotten what the hearts of the people are fundamental, and what is the use of winning the hearts of the people in the absence of strength.
"Where is the high pet?" Li Jing asked again.
"We have already reached Baihegou, and once the battle starts, General Gao's army will soon enter the battlefield." Yelu Dashi said solemnly.
"In this way, we won't stay in Youzhou for long, so some things such as money, food, books, etc., can be transported away as soon as possible, and they can't be delayed any longer. After this battle, you stay in Youzhou for the time being, preside over the negotiations, and I will let Wu Song stay and protect your safety. The war against Western Xia was also on the agenda. Li Jing commanded.
"The king can rest assured, the minister will not let the Song family get anything, and all he can get is trouble." Yelu Dashi hurriedly said. The Khitans, Xi and other ethnic minorities in the city have already left Youzhou, and most of the remaining people are Han Chinese, who are unwilling to leave their hometowns, but even so, Li Jing has left Cai Jing with endless troubles.
Of course, Cai Jing didn't know all this, he had already left Youzhou, and on the way to Waqiao Pass, Cai Jing was followed by Guo Yaoshi and others, and 15,000 soldiers of the resentful army guarded Cai Jing, which made Cai Jing a little more beautiful.
"General Guo, the old man has already played the official family, and is ready to let the general know the military of Zhuozhou and other states, as for the other officials, there must be a reward, change the resentment army to the winning army, and the general will be under the control of the winning army." Cai Jing said with a smile, although he came to Youzhou this time and his errand was a mess, but now he persuaded Guo Yaoshi and brought 15,000 elite soldiers, which is enough to make himself guilty.
"Thank you." Guo Yaoshi was overjoyed when he heard this, he returned to the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to the vast territory and deep foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, more importantly, he saw the Song family's dependence on him, he was familiar with the generals of Youzhou, there were 3,000 elite cavalry in the 15,000 victorious army, and there were generals who commanded the cavalry, which was enough to make the Song family pay more attention to themselves.
"Not to mention that you are in the enemy country, and you still miss your homeland, even if you help the prime minister to seize Yizhou and Zhuozhou this time, this reward is also deserved, and when you capture Youzhou, the old man will protect you for Youzhou." Cai Jing said proudly. When Guo Yaoshi decided to defect to Cai Jing, he wrote to the Haoqiang of Yizhou and Zhuozhou, and cooperated with Tong Guan to seize Yizhou and Zhuozhou.
With the cooperation of Yandi Haoqiang, Tong Guan easily occupied Yizhou and Zhuozhou, which was probably the easiest time for Tong Guan to enter the army. Cai Jing also saw the role of Pharmacist Guo, and immediately promoted Pharmacist Guo to Zhao Ji. Anyway, it can be regarded as having the wisdom of knowing people.
"After returning to Beijing this time, the official family will definitely summon you, and when the time comes, you will definitely be rewarded by the official family with Li Jing's head." Cai Jing was very proud in his heart, Guo Yaoshi had a very high reputation in the north, with this 15,000 army, it would soon become 25,000, 35,000, or even more, at that time, against Li Jing's 30,000 or 40,000 army, victory seemed to be beckoning to him.
"Taishi, the army led by the prime minister is waiting in front." At this time, there was a cavalry galloping in the distance, but it was Tong Guan who led the army to meet him in front, Cai Jing was amused for a while, and he also knew what Tong Guan was thinking, there are only so many people left in the 300,000 army so far, and there is no class teacher until now, isn't it just waiting for news from his side?
"Pharmacist, let's go, go and meet the concubine, at the moment everyone is a grasshopper connected to a rope, no one can do without anyone, although the 300,000 army was defeated, but the remaining soldiers and horses are all elite, after recruiting soldiers and horses, with a little training, it is the main force." Cai Jing beckoned to Pharmacist Guo and the others and said. Now different from Youzhou, there is not only Guo Yaoshi around him, but also Tong Guan, there are seventy or eighty thousand troops gathered around him, and soon, there will be more soldiers and horses, and then find Li Jing to settle accounts, during this time, Cai Jing does not know how many times he lost face in Youzhou, Cai Jing always has to find a way to get it back.
Everyone walked only a hundred steps, and saw a team of people in the distance, the leader of the man was burly, wearing armor, and his appearance was majestic, not Tong Guan and who it was, when he saw Cai Jing, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Xiaguan has seen the Taishi." Tong Guan greeted him.
"It's already a blessing to be able to see your wife." Cai Jing laughed and said, "Come, Xiang Xiang, Cai Jing will introduce a few heroes from the Northland to Xiang Xiang." Cai Jing is back this time, and I want to thank these people! ”
"Guo Yaoshi (Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Yanshou, Zhang Linghui) and others visited the prime minister." Guo Yaoshi and others hurriedly stepped forward to establish.
"They are all heroes of my Great Song Dynasty, and in the future, everyone will be ministers in the same hall, so you don't have to be polite, please, Taishi, speak in the big tent." Tong Guan laughed, and was very polite to Pharmacist Guo and others, making everyone grateful.
"Qin Hui has seen the Taishi." In the big tent, Cai Jing beckoned everyone to sit down, and Qin Hui hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects.
"Get up! The old man has heard your name, and the point you put forward in the court is very good, but unfortunately, this time I met Li Jing, a guy with wolf ambitions, and it is doomed that your suggestions cannot be implemented, and after returning to the court, you will be attacked. Cai Jing glanced at Qin Hui and nodded approvingly, he had also heard about Bianjing's affairs, and he was still very happy that this little Taixue Xue could make suggestions in that situation.
"Thank you for the compliment." Qin Hui was happy in his heart, although after returning to the dynasty, he would be attacked by others, but as long as he had Cai Jing's help, what if he was attacked? Cai Jing is the immortal evergreen tree in the officialdom.
"I heard that this time the imperial court has a different opinion on the affairs of Youzhou?" Cai Jing asked again.
"Hmph, of course, on the one hand, these guys are eager to grab Youzhou in their hands immediately, and on the other hand, they are worried that we don't have enough soldiers and horses, and we can't defeat Li Jing, but lose money and food for soldiers and horses." Tong Guan snorted coldly. During this time, his pressure was the greatest, the 300,000 army suffered heavy losses, and he didn't know how to explain to the Son of Heaven when he returned to Bianjing in the future, so he had been hiding in Waqiao Pass, waiting for the opportunity.
"It is also a normal thing to have some merit in seizing the land of Zhuozhou and Yizhou, but it is only because Li Jing's soldiers are strong and strong that it leads to the loss of soldiers and horses, which is also a normal thing." Cai Jing comforted on the side. Zhuozhou and Yizhou were actually not captured by Cai Jing, they should have something to do with Guo Yaoshi, Tong Guan just took advantage of the situation, as for the loss of soldiers and horses, it was even more impossible, and the capture of the two states did not lose a single soldier, Cai Jing said this, but only comforted Tong Guan, put a fig leaf on Tong Guan, and let him return to the court to give some explanation.
"It's still the Taishi who commands meritorious, and Tong Guanyan can make merit." Tong Guan's old face turned red and hurriedly said.
"At present, we occupy Zhuozhou and Yizhou, Guo Yaoshi still has prestige in the two states, recruiting troops here, I believe that we will be able to gather a large army soon, and then counterattack Youzhou, in fact, Li Jing's soldiers and horses are not much, at most thirty or forty thousand people, according to the old man's meaning, the prime minister can now raise troops to Youzhou and attack Youzhou." Cai Jing said seriously.
"This?" Tong Guan was a little worried, what his soldiers and horses were like, Tong Guan himself knew.
"Don't worry, the Li thief is perverse in Youzhou, and I don't know how many people are disgusted with the Li thief, as long as the prime minister ascends to the heights, the heroes of Yandi will definitely come to help, and tens of thousands of troops can gather within a few days." Pharmacist Guo hurriedly said on the side.
"Because Youzhou is in Liaodi, the Han people have a lot of Zhuang guests, these Zhuang guests often train, what they lack is just armor, there is a lot of armor in the army, and it is easy to arm an army." Cai Jing touched his beard and said: "Li Jing beat the gentry in Youzhou and took over their manor land, the gentry are all against him, as soon as the prime minister's recruitment order is ordered, there will be people who come to defect, these people are a little trained, they are an elite soldier, are you afraid that these people will have different intentions?" ”
"I'm worried about Li Jing, Taishi, are you sure that Li Jing's soldiers and horses really only have thirty or forty thousand horses?" Tong Guan still asked with some concern.
"That's nature. This is the message given by Six Doors, and you can't be wrong when you think about it. Cai Jing patted his chest and said: "Think about it, it's already November now, the grassland is snowing heavily, and Li Jing's army is inconvenient, if we come from the south of the Great Wall, we will definitely get the news." Cai Jing is still very cautious, saying that the source of the news is six doors, and if something really happens, it will also be pushed to the six doors.
"If that's the case, it's worth fighting." Tong Guan nodded and said: "Not only our side, but also Luoyang and Guanzhong have to take action, Li Jing fought fiercely with the Jin people, lost 50,000 troops, his soldiers and horses have to guard against the enemy on the grassland, there are not many soldiers and horses that can be used, now that others are in Youzhou, the army on Hedong Road is beyond the reach of the whip, even if we can't defeat Li Jing, we must drag it in Youzhou, so that other armies can attack Hedong Road." ”
Cai Jing nodded, but there was a burst of contempt in his heart, Tong Guan seemed to have a very good plan, in fact, what he wanted to do the most was to drag, drag Li Jing in Youzhou, the real main force still wanted to seize Hedong Road and share the danger with others. Fearing the enemy like a tiger, such a person is in charge of the imperial court's military, which is really the sorrow of the imperial court.
