Chapter 913: Driving the Wolf and Devouring the Tiger (1)
Seeing Zhao Zhen's hesitation, he obviously didn't have an idea about this issue, as Su Jin expected, Zhao Zhen was bored for a long time, but he still said: "How do you think Aiqing should deal with this matter?" ”
Su Jinxin said: "This emperor is too easy, no matter what happens, if you can't make up your mind, you will come to the sentence 'Zhongqing see how to handle it', there is no accurate idea at all." ”
Yan Shu and Du Yan Xia Zhu looked at each other, and their opinions on this matter were completely unanimous: "The ministers are foolish, please ask the emperor to judge." ”
Su Jin almost laughed out loud, the ball was kicked over, and he was kicked back by a few old foxes, what should Zhao Zhen do this time?
"Su Aiqing, since you are so thoughtful, you must have a plan in your heart, why don't you say it and let me and all the adults refer to it." Zhao Zhen didn't hesitate to pick up and kick the ball at Su Jin, and the gloating Su Jin was dumbfounded.
"Yes, Master Su, you talk about your opinion, let's think about it." The three old foxes hurriedly chimed in.
Su Jin scolded secretly, he didn't want to say something like a few old foxes, 'but with the Holy Judgment', in fact, when he heard Zhao Zhen's report on this, Su Jin's brain didn't stop thinking about how to deal with it, and by this time, he already had some ideas.
Under the gaze of Zhao Zhen, Yan Shu and others, Su Jin slowly got up and paced, his brows tightened, as if he was thinking hard, it was not that he was playing tricks, but because the ideas in his head were too shocking, he was wondering if he should say it.
"Su Aiqing, do you have a good way to deal with it?" Zhao Zhen asked with a smile.
Su Jin stopped and said to Zhao Zhen, Yan Shu, Xia Zhu and the others: "Your Majesty, the three adults, I do have an idea, but I am afraid that after I say it, you will think that I am whimsical, and if I say it, I can say that it is okay, if there is anything inappropriate or inconsiderate, you will not say it to me, don't laugh at me." ”
"What are you talking about, when the imperial court is brainstorming, how can it be like this? Many good ways are to extract the essence from immature ideas and integrate them, as the so-called 'three stinkers are worth one Zhuge Liang'. But that's it, I'm listening. Du Yan smiled and said, it seems that this kid is going to make a fool of himself today, although the relationship between him and Su Jin has also tended to improve recently because of Xia Zhu, but it is still a pleasing thing to see Su Jin being ugly and behaved, as long as Su Jin is open-mouthed, he will greatly humiliate him, so that his impression in the emperor's mind will plummet.
Su Jin sighed and said, "Since this is the case, I will be ugly; I thought about it, with the current dilemma, we shouldn't have a bad relationship with the Liao State, the Liao State is full of strength to attack the Xia State, even if we don't join them, we have to attack, in this case, we simply fulfill them and promise them to send troops together! ”
"What? You just said that the Three Kingdoms were cold, and you denied your own words in the blink of an eye, this is not your own ...... own ......," Du Yan said urgently.
"Yes, Su Aiqing, how do you explain this?" Zhao Zhen also felt unreliable.
"Your Majesty, everyone, listen to me, I've only just said half of it." Su Jin waved his hand and said: "We promised them, but it doesn't mean that we will really send troops, how can my Great Song be driven by the Liao people; Didn't the Liao people want to attack? Let them attack, and we will stand still in the south......"
"Do you mean to lead the Liao people to attract the main force of the Xia State to the north to meet the enemy, and then our army will move north? It's a good strategy, but I'm afraid it won't work. Yan Shu twisted his beard.
Su Jindao: "Yan Xiang misunderstood, if we jointly attack the Xia Kingdom, of course the Xia Kingdom will not withdraw its troops to the north, the south is where the main cities of the Xia Kingdom are located, and they will inevitably send heavy troops to guard it." ”
"Master Su, don't sell it, what do you mean, say it quickly." Du Yan was anxious.
Su Jin said: "It is the next policy to unite the Liao people to attack Xia, our purpose is to provoke the battle of Xia Liao, but we can't let the Liao people capture the Xia country, otherwise it is what I call the disaster of the enemy in the north and south, the Liao people are not docile little sheep, once the Xia country is destroyed, my Great Song Dynasty is in the south to defeat Nong Zhigao, how can they miss such a good opportunity; In addition, after the occupation of the Xia Kingdom, they are driven by a large number of Xia prisoners, and there is a large supply of horses, so it is likely that they will directly turn against us. ”
Su Jin watched everyone's faces gradually become solemn, paused and continued: "Therefore, what we have to do is to encourage the Liao people to attack Xia, so that the Liao people have no chance to turn their faces with us, and at the same time, we have to let the two tigers and wolves of Xia Liao bite each other, bite each other, bite until the skin is broken, and we can take the opportunity to clean them up when the time is right." ”
Everyone was shocked, Su Jin's heart was so big, so big that they didn't think about all this at all, in Zhao Zhenjun's heart, what he was thinking about was how to protect himself, how not to let the current situation worsen, and Su Jin's strategy, the goal was obviously aimed at the two countries of Liaoxia, and there seemed to be an intention to destroy the two countries in his words.
"This ...... This seems a bit whimsical. Du Yan stammered.
Su Jin said: "What questions do you have about Du Shumi? ”
Du Yan said: "You mean to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but in fact, this situation will not occur, because the Xia State has to guard against us and the Liao State, and they are not the opponents of the Liao people in the first place, how can they hit the Liao people as you wish?" Even if we don't move, the Liao people can destroy the Xia Kingdom, and by then we won't have anything in our hands? ”
"yes, I have the same question." Zhao Zhen looked at Su Jindao.
Su Jin waved his hand: "You understand wrong, this is not a strategy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, this move is called a strategy to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, we promised the Liao State to attack together, that is a strategy on the surface, but in fact, we have another choice, which is to secretly form an alliance with the Xia State, so that we can not contain the southern defense army of the Xia State......"
"Even so, it's not ......" Xia Zhu interjected again.
Su Jin planned to start his words and said, "Couldn't Du Shumi listen to me?" I know you have to say that even so, the Xia people still can't stop the Liao attack, but don't forget, there are also us, the reason why the Xia State is not the opponent of the Liao people is that there is too much lack of grain, grass, armor and weapons, but the good fighting and courage of the party people, we have seen it with our own eyes, as long as they are equipped and given food, they may not be the opponents of the Liao; Xia still has nearly 300,000 troops, once these 300,000 soldiers and horses fight to the death with the Liao, will the Liao's life be better? Even if the Liao people finally take the Xia Kingdom, at least they will have to exchange the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and at that time, will the Liao people still be a threat to us? On the contrary, they should be afraid that we are. ”
Zhao Zhen was surprised: "What do you mean...... Funding the summer country's grain, grass, armor and weapons? ”
Su Jin nodded and said, "Exactly, we can treat Xia Guo as one of our dogs, feed them, and let them bite the Liao people for us." ”
The shock in everyone's hearts can no longer be described in words, Su Jin's heart is too big, so big that Zhao Zhen, who is a few famous ministers in the world and the self-proclaimed king of the Holy Ming, can't catch up with his thinking, but I have to say that this strategy is both bold and very tempting, and it seems to be feasible.
"But...... Isn't that a no-brainer? There were peace discussions between Song, Xia, Song and Liao, and this kind of practice of one set in the open and one in the dark would lose the demeanor of my great Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen snorted while inhaling the cold air.
Su Jin smiled and said: "What the emperor said is that it is indeed a little not very authentic; But how many countries do they have to take into account in order to survive and be strong? When Yuan Hao rebelled against the Song Dynasty, didn't he ignore morality and disregard the Great Song Dynasty's kindness to him? In the first year of Qingli, there was a great drought in the world, and the Liao people didn't take advantage of the fire to rob the morality of the country of brothers? In the battle of Weizhou, the craftsmen who built the catapult for Yuan Hao were all Liao, although later it was said that the Liao rebel general was dedicated to Yuan Hao, but who knew that it was not the Liao lord who took the initiative to give it to Yuan Hao? All this, you can see the heart of the Liao people and Xia people, my Great Song Dynasty is like a piece of fat, they are gluttonous and drooling, if it is not for the growing strength of my Great Song Dynasty, the consequences are self-evident. ”
Zhao Zhen frowned and was silent, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and it was difficult to make up his mind.
Su Jin said: "If today's situation is self-evident, the Xia people are not to worry about at present, the Liao people are fierce enemies, what we have to do is how to contain this fierce enemy, or take advantage of its weakness to annihilate it in one fell swoop, when Taizu Taizong Zhen Grandmaster was alive and had a long-cherished wish to unify the world, but unfortunately the time has not come, and he has not been able to make contributions, is it that Taizu Taizong and their war against Liao is disregarding morality?" That's because the land of Liaoxia was originally the land of my Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song Dynasty attacked the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the territory of Li and Tang should have been the land of my Great Song Dynasty, which is a matter of course; If the unification of the world is realized in the hands of the emperor, the emperor will be the first monarch of the Great Song Dynasty, which can be called the first emperor of the ages. ”
Zhao Zhen was moved, as an emperor, he naturally wanted to be a saint who would go down in history, but unfortunately the situation at home and abroad made him feel powerless, if he could really take advantage of this opportunity, maybe it would be the time to achieve great things.
Zhao Zhen took a breath, eased his mood, his eyes fell on Yan Shu, and asked slowly: "Yan Xiang, do you think Su Jin's plan is feasible?" ”
