Chapter 1 Temples and Towns (1)

[On the radio at eight o'clock tonight, interested friends can listen to it.] 】

Ever since Han Gang walked into the palace with Tong Guan's two chamberlains, he felt that there was an indescribably strange atmosphere around him. Along the way, he became the object of onlookers, even after he offered cowpox, he entered the palace for the first time, and he did not say that he was in the spotlight like today.

Tong Guan led the way sideways in front, relying on his friendship with Han Gang, and said with a smile: "Long Tu is strategizing, and he is thousands of miles away, but no one in the palace is not surprised." ”

"Wouldn't it be my sin that day when someone dies because of the spaceship?"

"The two things are different...... And dozens of lives for a Great Liao Emperor, how is it worth it, this is something that the forbidden army can't do with millions of soldiers and horses. Tong Guan flattered Han Gang. But seeing that Han Gang didn't have any lust and smile, he couldn't laugh. coughed dryly twice, and honestly turned around to lead the way.

In the fame, Han Gang stepped into the Chongzheng Palace.

The eyes of several Zaizhi in the hall did not change, which made Han Gang breathe a sigh of relief. But Zhao Ji couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.

After Han Gang bowed, he got up, and Zhao Ji, who couldn't bear it anymore, laughed loudly: "Han Qing, have you heard about why Lord Liao died?" Through the sky, it is beyond the earth, but it is all the credit of Han Qing! ”

The word 'Jedi Tiantong' in the Shangshu actually made such an explanation, and Yelu Hongji can be regarded as a ridicule for future generations. Wang Qi immediately laughed playfully, but Han Gang didn't laugh.

"How dare the minister take credit for this." Han Gang bowed, "Emperor Han died young, the matter is in Liang Ji, not the imperial chef who makes meatloaf." ”

Han Gang's analogy was interesting, Zhao Ji laughed twice, "Han Qing is right, although Han Qing's share is indispensable, after all, it is still the credit of Yelu Yixin." But it was also because Liao Xuanzong was negligent. The father and son of the family died in the hands of this thief, and now even the grandson has become a puppet in the hands of Yelu Yixin...... The mistake of employing people is as good as Si! ”

"Liao Xuanzong?"

Han Gang's puzzled voice was not loud, but Wang Jue's ears, who were also excited, seemed to be ten times more sensitive than usual, and he immediately explained on the side: "It is the temple number of the Liao lord posthumously." ”

Along with the cause of Yelu Hongji's death, the news of Yelu Ago's ascension to the throne was the news of Yelu Ago's ascension to the throne, and his name was changed to Yanxi. Emperor Daxing's temple number is Xuanzong, and Emperor Zhenren Sheng's Great Filial Piety.

"The merit and crime of governing the country with the old Liao lord can't afford the word 'Xuan', but since Yelu Yixin has received the so-called edict, of course he has to give the old Liao lord a good temple number."

"Falling from a hundred feet in the sky, do you have time to make an edict?"

Hearing Han Gang ask, Zhao Ji snorted: "It is said that when Liao Xuanzong was dying, he left an edict and ordered the King of Wei, Taishi, and the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, Yelu Yixin, to assist the government and deal with important military affairs. Therefore, Yelu Yanxi, Jin named Yelu Yixin as King Zheng, Taishi and Taifu, Shang Shuling, gave a few rods of iron coupons, did not worship in the court, and did not tend to go to the palace. ”

This is no longer just as simple as the ministers, Yelu Yixin is now holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes. In a few days, I'm afraid that even if you add nine tin, you may not be able to say.

Of course, Liao Xuanzong did not die of illness, but fell to the sky and died more nonsense than falling from a horse, and then the Liao State will definitely have civil strife - it is 100 percent, not the previous eight or ninety.

"Maybe there will be civil strife in Liao, and after the two sides fight to the fullest, one side will ask for me!" The corners of Zhao Ji's mouth curled, thinking of Emperor Shi Jingjiao.

"Your Majesty!" The privy envoy Lu Gongshu stood up, "The oath of the alliance of the Yuanyuan is still there, and Song Liao is a country of brothers, and it has not been changed so far." Today, the words of His Majesty His Royal Highness may spread outside the palace?! ”

Lu Gong is very good at sweeping people's interest, and Zhao Ji immediately restrained his smile: "Lu Qing is right." When the Liao envoy arrived in Beijing, he chose the envoy to pay tribute. ”

However, his mood soon rose again, "Liao's internal turmoil can be expected, and there will be no time to go west." This time, attacking Western Xia will be completely relieved, and it will be able to directly attack Xingling. ”

This time it was Han Gang's turn to sweep people's interest, "Your Majesty, the art of war is cloudy, and those who were good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then the enemy can be defeated." The 700-mile Han Sea is difficult to cross, and the grain is difficult to supply, and it is not the Liao State or the Western Xia civil strife that can be changed. ”

"Doesn't Han Qing know that Liang Yibu has been imprisoned in Bingchang, and Liang Shifu is listening to politics again?"

Wang Jue echoed: "The power of Western Xia imprisoned its king, and the country should also be in civil strife. It is a domain of the Great Song Dynasty, and it cannot sit idly by. When the teacher goes straight into Xingling, in order to ask for power and rape! ”

Han Gang didn't think that the Liang family would be so decisive in advance, after all, it was the Liang brothers and sisters who found the princess of Liao for Bingchang. Not only Han Gang, but also Guo Kui, who is also well versed in Western affairs, did not expect it - it was mentioned in a few of the chapters asking for war, but it was not so much that the authors of several chapters were accurate judgments of Western affairs, but that they won the prize.

imprisoned the emperor's son, and there was only one Wu Zetian in the past when he came out to take power. The monarch in the city of Tokyo, who would have thought that the Liang clan would dare to do this? No matter what, Bingchang is the only son of the Liang family.

In the past six months, except for Jing Xun, he has not heard of other important ministers belonging to the Liang family being killed, and Han Gang has always believed that the situation in the Western Xia Kingdom will not change significantly. As for Yu Zang Huama's letter about the civil strife in Xingqing Mansion, it was basically one in the first half of the year, and no one believed it for a long time.

If it is said that Yelu Hongji died and the Liao State was about to fall into civil strife, the Song people could see it, and the party members could certainly see it. It is not surprising that the married princess of Liao also fell from the spaceship. But Han Gang is still difficult to understand about the direct imprisonment of the Liang family. I am not afraid that there will be civil strife in the country, and even the hearts of the major tribes will be scattered. Is there anything else he doesn't know?

It's just that no matter what the situation in Western Xia becomes, Han Gang insists on his point of view, "Your Majesty, the grain and grass can't be changed, in case the Western Xia is fortified and cleared, destroying the grain stored along the way, and luring the officials and soldiers deep into the city of Lingzhou." At that time, as long as a partial division harasses the grain route, the offensive of the official army will be difficult to continue. Can't the hope of victory be placed entirely on the civil strife in Western Xia? ”

Zhao Ji was surprised by Han Gang's persistence, frowning, and was very unhappy in his heart. Han Gang was one of the few civil servants in the court who was good at military affairs, and he had no shortage of experience in leading the army, and his support could play a great role in promoting the war against the Western Xia. And his opposition will be used as evidence by those who oppose war.

LΓΌ Gongshu is a good example, and his views are the same as Han Gang's: "I usually send 30,000 horses and camels to the Liao State in a year, and the people in the country have deep grievances. The Liang coup d'Γ©tat, Xu was fearless, and could not be sure that there would be civil strife in his country. ”

Yuan Jiang retorted: "Without the Liao State as a support, it will be difficult for the people in the Western Xia Kingdom to be stable, how can there be no civil strife?" ”

Lu Gong replied: "How can the hearts of the enemy people be trusted? The brothers are outside the wall to resist their humiliation, and the official army invades the territory of Western Xia, and the two sides may not share the same hatred! ”

Yuan Jiang sneered: "The western thief is greedy for money, and the court lures him with Juelu, how can he be angry with the enemy?" ”

The argument between the two sides made Zhao Xiang's face more and more ugly, and at this time, Xue Xiang stood up.

"Your Majesty. As the old saying goes, if you don't take it, you will be to blame. The new Privy Councillor, whose attitude had been ambiguous, finally spoke, "If you don't grasp such a good opportunity, will there be such a good opportunity in the future?" It is indeed difficult to transport the grain route of the 700-mile Hanhai, but it can still be maintained until Lingzhou is laid......

Wang Jue immediately took over the conversation: "Lingzhou, how can Xingqing Mansion be preserved?" ”

Han Gang glanced at Xue Xiang with his eyes, I don't know if he had made an exchange of interests with Wang Qi, and finally expressed his attitude today. Xue Xiang is also an authority in the matter of grain and straw transfer, and his support is tantamount to a counterattack to Han Gang's rhetoric.

After some arguments, there was no result in the end, so they could only disperse. But judging from Zhao Ji's attitude, Han Gang knew that his failure was inevitable.

Han Gang didn't really care about the result. He was excluded from the two provinces because he was young and acted aggressively, and he was not suitable to live in the two provinces. Now he needs to show his poise, not exhaustiveness.

But having said that, it is not advisable to risk attacking Xingling, which is also his judgment of the strategic situation, and he will not change it because of his own needs.

……………………

When Lu Huiqing returned home, Lu Shengqing had already come back first.

Lu Shengqing returned to Beijing today and wanted to stay at home for the New Year before continuing his work. When he reported on his work in Kaifeng Mansion this afternoon, he also heard about the cause of the death of the Liao lord.

After listening to his brother's talk about today's discussion in the Chongzheng Palace, Lu Shengqing was surprised, "I didn't expect that Han Gang was still opposing the direct capture of Xingling. Could it be that you are against it because you can't lead the troops, right? ”

"Where does Han Gang want credit now, it's too late to push it out." Regarding his younger brother's speculation, Lu Huiqing snorted coldly, "If it weren't for his age, he would have been sitting in the two mansions a long time ago, why would he go to the Herd Division?" ”

"Then why is he still opposed? The current situation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and once the situation between the two countries in Liaoxia is stabilized, there will never be such a good opportunity again. ”

"Han Gang has already said before that he can't directly attack Xingling, how can he change his course? Doesn't that make him think about it? Lu Huiqing frowned: "Moreover, it should be partly because Han Gang really feels that it is too risky to attack Xingling directly." ”

"The spaceship invented by Han Gang caused the Liao lord to lose his life and plunged the Liao country into civil strife. I always feel that the coincidences are too much. Lu Shengqing was very puzzled, after hearing about this matter this afternoon, there was no one in the Kaifeng Mansion Office, all talking about this matter, "Could it really be his plan?" ”

"If Han Gang really had this ability, he would have been in favor of attacking Xingling before. Isn't the matter of grain straw simpler than scheming against the Liao lord? "Lu Huiqing and Han Gang look up and don't look down, they are very familiar, Han Gang's intelligence and strategy are the best choice, this is indeed true, but if he can do it to the point of scheming and shocking ghosts, where will Lu Huiqing believe it. But he groaned again, "...... However, it is inevitable that the Son of Heaven will think so, so Han Gang insisted that he could not directly attack Xingling, and he should have this thought. Only by being consistent can you appear open in your heart, so as to dispel the suspicions of the Son of Heaven secretly. ”

Lu Shengqing never doubted his brother's judgment, nodded and said, "I think it should be like this." He smiled again, "It's just that the world is so stupid, and now, Han Gang's reputation is probably going to be even better." ”
