Chapter 1060 The class teacher returned to the dynasty, and the wind and clouds continued
Yanjing City. Heaven's Voice'.『 ⒉
The wind was swishing and the snow was white.
The wind swept across the land, rolling up crystal snowflakes and forming a blizzard.
Yanjing, the most important city in the north, is covered in snow.
In the past year, Dayan's territory has doubled, and there have been many disasters and difficulties.
Hou Mingfeng returned from lurking, led 100,000 Blue Feather troops, and 50,000 veterans recruited by Lei Zhanhu, out of Yanjing, and went to the southeast to resist the invasion of the Song army.
In the past half month, the solemn atmosphere of the Great Yan Dynasty has gradually melted like snow.
In the court, Wen Jishi learned that Hou Mingfeng, Lei Zhanhu, met with the main army that returned to the north, and led the army with Feng Shihu and Zhao Jun to inflict heavy losses on the Song army in Yancheng, eliminating 200,000 Song troops, and the clouds that shrouded the hearts of hundreds of officials, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and the sun shone.
However, the spies sent back the news and reported to Wen Jishi, and the emperor and Feng Shihu led the blade soldiers and ironclad cavalry deep into Kaifeng City.
This news made the light-thinking courtiers nervous, and their moods were like tense bowstrings.
At this moment, so the officials only felt as if the rebels, or the Song army, were approaching the city and storming Yanjing.
Whether it is Situ, Wen Jishi, or Wang Lunyue, or Murong Qiyan, I can't guess why Lin Feng led the army to Kaifeng.
Feng Shihu followed the emperor to fight, how could he allow the emperor to risk his life and lead the army to Kaifeng.
Kaifeng City was the imperial city of the Song Kingdom, and he led the army to Kaifeng, but was blocked by the Song army.
Arrived in Kaifeng and was besieged by the Song army from all sides, how did the emperor jump out of the Song army's encirclement?
For a while, the court was shaken, the ministers were nervous, and after some discussion, Su Qin sent the most powerful members of the dark sword to rush to the Song Kingdom to find the emperor's traces.
A large number of secret agents shuttled to the border of Yan and Song to detect the news of Kaifeng City and understand the emperor's movements.
However, the situation changed, unexpectedly, and stunned the officials.
Lin Feng and Feng Shihu led the army to Kaifeng, and within a few days, they attacked again and again, severely damaging the Song army that was defending Kaifeng City.
Wen Jishi and Situ learned that they turned their worries into joy, and even looked forward to the Yan army entering Kaifeng and capturing the empress alive.
It's a pity that so far the court has not received the good news that Kaifeng City was broken.
With the passage of time, Yanjing officials were worried about Lin Feng's safety.
At this time, in the suddenly cloudy Yanjing City, a spy sent back the news that the emperor led the army to appear in Lucheng in the east of Yanguo.
At present, he led the army to Yancheng and was on his way back to Beijing.
After getting the news, Su Qin hurriedly entered the palace and relayed Lin Feng's news to Su Huanqing.
Su Huanqing consulted with the queen and announced to the hundred officials that she wanted to welcome the return of the holy car at the east gate of Yanjing City.
When the news came out, the turmoil in Yanjing gradually subsided, and the officials also let go of their hanging hearts.
It stands to reason that Lin Feng led the army out of Lucheng, all the way unimpeded, and within a few days, he easily arrived in Yanjing.
However, in the Battle of Yancheng, Lei Zhanhu led 50,000 retired remnants, not only blocking the Song army, but also severely damaging the Song army.
In Yancheng rewarded Lei Zhanhu and other veterans, Lin Feng did not stay, led the army, and went straight to Yanjing.
When the blade soldiers, ironclad cavalry, and a few surviving veterans arrived in Yanjing City with Lin Feng, the queen led the prince Lin Chaoyang and led hundreds of officials to greet them at the east gate of Yanjing City.
Lin Feng's return to Yanjing meant the end of half a year's foreign campaign.
It also means that the Yan army won a complete victory in the south.
Lin Feng led the army, stayed at the east gate for a short time, rewarded the three armies, the blade soldiers, the ironclad cavalry returned to the camp, and the veterans under the Lei Zhan Tiger tent were disbanded.
The welcome ceremony at the east gate ended, and Lin Feng hurriedly returned to the court.
His heart is like a mirror, and his return to the court means that the war is over, but the contest between Yan and Song has never ended.
On the way back to Beijing, Lin Feng had already received many countermeasures taken by the Song State against the Yan State.
In addition, he has been fighting abroad for more than half a year, and there is a backlog of many government affairs in the court, which needs to be handled by him personally.
Lin Feng didn't have time to rest, so he summoned Yu Zeqiong, the secretary of the household department, Situ, the secretary of the ministry, Wen Jishi, the secretary of the military department, and Su Qin, who was in charge of the dark sword, into the palace.
Arriving at the warm pavilion, the eunuch had already lit the stove in advance and prepared pastries and tea.
Lin Feng sat on the soft couch, glanced at Yu Zeqiong, Wen Jishi, Situ, and Su Qin, and said with gratitude: "I have led the army to fight abroad for more than half a year, and the Yan Kingdom has encountered many things, but fortunately, all Aiqing have worked together to assist the prince.
Dayan can open the road and fill the bridge in the water, otherwise it will be extremely Tailai. ”
"To share the emperor's worries and solve problems, it is incumbent on us as courtiers." Wen Jishi, Situ four people hugging fists.
Lin Feng heard the sound and raised his hand to signal the four of them to sit down
Wen Jishi, Situ, and Su Qin moved to their seats, and Yu Zeqiong, the head of the household, was still standing in the center of the warm pavilion and reported to Lin Feng: "Your Majesty, recently Weichen learned the news that Yan and Song went to war, and the empress ordered the merchants of the Song Kingdom to stop trading with the Yan Kingdom.
In addition, the empress secretly united with the southern princes, and at present, the merchants of the Song State and the southern princely states have also withdrawn, specifically targeting Dayan.
As a result, Dayan's commerce has suffered a lot of blows, especially the withdrawal of grain merchants from various countries, which has caused the price of grain to skyrocket in a short period of time, seriously affecting the lives of the people. ”
Hearing this, Lin Feng was not surprised, when the Yan army opened the city, it dealt a devastating blow to the 400,000 Song army.
Hou Mingfeng, Zhao Hongru, and Ju Wentai were armies on the three routes, and they continued to open up territory in the Song State and encroach on the territory of the Song State.
According to Lin Shuying's revenge and revenge character, he can't help Yan Guo militarily, and he is bound to find ways to cause trouble to Dayan.
If his guess is correct, the Song State will unite with the southern vassal states and stop trading with Dayan, which is probably just the beginning.
The empress will definitely take other measures to try to cause more trouble to Dayan.
However, Lin Feng's methods are not afraid at all, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
The vassal states stopped trading with Yan, and Great Yan suffered a lot of losses.
However, Lin Shuying's actions will undoubtedly kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of themselves, and stop trading with Yan State, and the Song State and the merchants of Song State will still bring serious harm.
Lin Feng did not hesitate, and said bluntly: "Lord Yu, pass the order, the commercial policy of the Yan Kingdom will remain unchanged, and the merchants of the vassal states are still welcome, in addition, the merchants of the Yan Kingdom can also go to the vassal states to do business and trade, if the princes dare to harm the merchants of the Yan Kingdom, they will directly declare war on them." ”
"Yes!" Yu Zeqiong said.
Instead, with a worried expression, he continued: "Your Majesty, the withdrawal of merchants has caused food prices to skyrocket, and the taxes paid by the court have been sharply reduced.
Weichen thought that the court could support more merchants, strengthen the internal circulation of the Yan Kingdom, stabilize prices, increase taxes, and more importantly, weaken the losses caused by the withdrawal of princes and merchants. ”
"No hindrance, Dayan has been conquering for several years and has accumulated a lot of wealth, and in addition, the huge wealth in the treasure of Tiangong, even if the collection of taxes is stopped, it is enough for Dayan to complete his ambition of dominating the world." Lin Feng said loudly.
Great Yan has abundant financial resources, and the empress does not want to evacuate the merchants, thus forcing the Yan army to shrink due to military expenses.
If the empress thinks like this, her wishful thinking will be in vain.
After a short silence, Lin Feng said: "Lord Yu, you can deal with the financial problems yourself, and you don't have to have any worries. ”
"Emperor Xie trusts!" Yu Zeqiong clenched her fists, didn't speak, slowly retreated, and sat next to her.
Yu Zeqiong sat down, Su Qin hurriedly got up, moved to the center of the Warm Pavilion, saluted Lin Feng, and reported: "Your Majesty, early this morning, the members of the Dark Sword of Mucheng are lurking and sending back the latest news.
The empress sent the generals Liu Zhuoya, Han Tao, and He Shanzhang to secretly leave Kaifeng, cross the sea to the north, and sneak into the Yan country from the east of Dayan.
At present, Han Tao has arrived in Mucheng, and Liu Zhuoya and He Shanzhang are secretly lurking towards Seoul.
According to Weichen's speculation, the empress sent Liu Zhuoya and three people to lurk in the Yan Kingdom, most of them hoping to control the Fuxing Army and the Heavenly Wolf Army, so as to expand the internal strife in Yan and buy time for the revival of the Song Kingdom. ”
At this moment, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle, the empress really had revenge and revenge not overnight, he had suspected that the empress had revenge, not just evacuated the merchants.
Sure enough, the empress restricted the trade between merchants and Dayan, and at this time, she sent Liu Zhuoya, Han Tao and other senior generals to Yan Kingdom.
This is a two-pronged approach to persecute Yan Guo.
However, compared with trade issues, Lin Feng cares more about Liu Zhuoya, Han Tao, and He Shanzhang.
How powerful Liu Zhuoya is, naturally needless to say, Han Tao is one of the three tiger generals under Song Qi's account, and He Shanzhang is Li Mu's deputy general.
These three people were not idle people in the Song Kingdom, and Lin Shuying sent the three of them to arrive in the Yan Kingdom secretly.
It is by no means a joint soldier, fighting against the Yan State, it is so simple.
If his guess is not wrong, the empress's intentions are most likely to eradicate the soldiers and control the rebel army, as Su Qin said, so that Yan's internal strife will expand, contain the military power of Dayan, and if possible, it will disintegrate Dayan internally.
I have to say that the empress has a vicious idea, but she overestimates the strength of the rebel army.
Now, when the main force of the Yan army has returned, Ju Wentai and Feng Shihu will lead the army to quell the rebellion, and the rebels will never be allowed to go wild.
Lin Feng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and asked Su Qin: "Lord Su, if you activate the dark sword elite in the lurking rebel army, will you have a chance to assassinate the three of Liu Zhuoya?" ”
It is naturally better to eradicate the three of them silently, and if the members of the Darksaber cannot assassinate, they can only resort to other means.
"Your Majesty, in order to cover their identities, the disciples of the Dark Sword have a low level in the rebels, and it is difficult to get close to the three of them in Liuzhuo Cliff, unless the opportunity is right, otherwise, it is not very certain to assassinate the three people." Su Qin said.
Lin Feng shook his head and said coldly: "In this way, the dark sword can't eradicate these three people, so we have to take other methods, Master Su, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that if the Song State wants to unite the soldiers, it will be difficult to disintegrate the two sides. However, the Song Dynasty had ambitions to control the military forces in the north and annex the rebels.
Weichen suggested that he spread the news and took the initiative to provoke the Song State and the soldiers, and the two tigers competed, and Dayan profited from it. Su Qin suggested.
"Master Su's suggestion is good, and it can be promoted and implemented." Lin Feng agreed with Su Qin's suggestion that it would be best if there was an opportunity to use the hands of the rebel army to eradicate the three of Liu Zhuoya.
If it doesn't work, the only way to do it is to force it.
Lin Feng reminded Su Qin: "Lord Su, General Ju, General Feng, led the elite to Mucheng and Hancheng, plus there are Heng Bangchang in the two places, Huangpu Xuan led the army to quell the rebellion, Lord Su handled it properly, and quickly pierced the conspiracy of the Song State, Liu Zhuoya, He Zhangzhang, and Han Tao, it is difficult to control the rebel army, on the contrary, the Yan army will destroy the rebel army in a very short period of time to ensure the internal stability of Dayan." ”
"Yes, We're in charge." Su Qin said, he probably guessed Lin Feng's intentions.
Su Qin retreated, Situ and Wen Jishi got up, and they reported to Lin Feng on the internal situation of Dayan, as well as the environment on all sides of Dayan.
After Lin Feng understood, he said tepidly: "Situ, Master Ji, there is Lin Xiao, the prince of the Jin Kingdom in the south, this time, before going to the south, you must quickly annex the Song State and the Chen State, and you must not leave worries in the north." ”
"The emperor is right, at present, it is time to annex the Song Kingdom." Thinking of the past few months, the Yan army has been worried about internal and external troubles, Wen Jishi has palpitations, fortunately the army will return as soon as possible to resolve the urgent need, otherwise, today's situation is estimated to become out of control.
"The emperor has the idea of annexing the Song Kingdom, but the Song Kingdom is powerful, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult to fight." Szeto Road.
Hearing this, Lin Feng was quite touched, sighed, and said: "That's right, the combat effectiveness of the Song army is not weak, especially the chariot is very strong to the threat of the Yan cavalry, if you send troops to destroy the Song State, you must find a way to eliminate the Song army's chariot before the army marches, otherwise, after the annexation of the Song State, the elite of the Yan Army will suffer many casualties, how can it have the strength to annex the southern vassal states." ”
"The mechanical legion is the elite of the Song Kingdom, and it has few opponents, and it has always fought against the mechanical legion, and the only way to attack it is to take fire, in addition, there is no other more ingenious way for the vassal states to fight against the Song Army's mechanized army." Wen Ji Shi said. 、
After all, the Song army was hidden in the chariot, and the arrows and spears were raining down, and they could not threaten the safety of the other party at all, so if they wanted to destroy the main force of the Song army, unless they broke the mechanical legion, they would not want to attack the other party.
Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter, I will find ways to find a way to destroy the mechanical legion." ”
In the battle of Kaifeng City, there were many casualties among the blade soldiers and ironclad cavalry, and in the future, Lin Feng would never allow such a thing.
Moreover, he believed that if he put his mind to it, he would definitely be able to find a way to crack the chariot.
Wen Jishi and Situ were silent for a moment, and Wen Jishi said: "Your Majesty, in addition to trying to find a way to break the chariot, Weichen feels that it is also necessary to provoke the relationship between Song Qi and the empress, if it can succeed, the matter of eliminating the Song State will become much simpler." ”
Hearing this, Lin Fengqian should make a fuss about Song Qi and the empress, Song Qi imprisoned the empress, although the two sides chose to share the same hatred and jointly defend against the Yan army during the crisis in Kaifeng City.
However, Lin Feng believed that that incident would definitely leave a gap between the empress and Song Qi.
At this time, the empress did not clear Song Qi, it does not mean that he will not be cleared, and Song Qi did not move, which does not mean that he does not guard against the empress's revenge.
The contradiction between the two of them cannot be eliminated, and if the time is right, their contradiction will completely explode.
When Lin Feng pondered for a while, he asked Master Wen Ji, "Master Ji, what good method do you have?" ”
If it succeeds in provoking contradictions between the empress and the Song Dynasty, the Yan State will not send troops, and the Song State will also be divided.
Next, the Yan army marched eastward, which could easily annex the Song State.
