Chapter 774 Strategy

In the first year of Taikang, it was always eventful, and the shame of Jingkang was gone, but the calamities and hardships of the Great Song Dynasty were not hidden. The southeast was turbulent, Luoyang rebelled, and now the situation in Liaodong is unstable. Zhao Yougong was in a heavy mood, looking up at the sky of the late autumn fence, Xiao Zhiyun was quietly waiting by her side, although she didn't talk too much, but she knew how heavy the pressure this man was carrying, compared to the Chai clan and the southeast rebellion, the Liaodong rebellion seemed to be more urgent. There are some things that can't be said to others, but Xiao Zhiyun understands it very well in her heart. If Liaodong rises, it will sweep Dading Mansion and Linhuang Mansion at that time, and go west to Datong Mansion, so that it is not said that the Mongolian tribes, even Siberia will not be guaranteed. The north fell, and the Jurchens re-emerged, and with the majesty and grandeur of Yan Zongwang, they were bound to attack Guanzhong. For the Great Song Dynasty and even the people of Limin, the Jingshi is very important, but for the Dingguo Army, Guanzhong is fundamental, if the situation is irreversible, even if you give up your vested interests, it is not impossible to give up the Gyeonggi Road to the rebels, Gyeonggi Road can be surrendered, but Guanzhong cannot be moved at all. Of course, this kind of thing can only be hidden in the heart, can it be told to the Great Song Limin that the current regent is not wholeheartedly protecting the Jingshi? If that's the case, the people in Guangbianliang City can overturn the King of Qin.

The people are easily fooled, and when someone raises their arms and shouts, it is easy to follow the trend, and once someone is caught, the glorious image of the regent may fall apart. Ordinary people are very short-sighted, they often see the good, and once you have a little bit of harm, all the good in the past will be forgotten. It doesn't matter if you go to Liaodong, if the situation is irreversible, then let her Xiao Zhiyun bear the charge of giving up Gyeonggi Road. She doesn't need fame. Because she's the princess of the Pris. Standing behind him were more than 100,000 Khitan soldiers, and they didn't have to care about what the Song people thought.

stepped forward and patted Zhao Yougong on the shoulder, Xiao Zhiyun said softly, "If you want to go to Liaodong, you need to send troops as soon as possible, otherwise the weather will become cold after winter." The surface of the water was frozen, and it was mostly inconvenient for the sailors to go on the expedition. Also, the situation in Liaodong is sinister, and you must be fully prepared. ”

turned around and touched Xiao Meiren's jade hand, and a smile finally appeared on her face, "Don't worry, this king knows it, although the situation in Liaodong is chaotic, it is not that there is no shortcut, but you." You have to be careful of Tian Xingmao in Guangnan, Tang Miao came with news a few days ago. The surname Tian doesn't seem to be simple, eighty percent of this Tian family is the apprentice and grandson of Tingyu Pavilion. ”

Listening to the Rain Pavilion, the ghost has always been gone, but he can't find the root, Zhao Yougong has always had a fear of the Listening Rain Pavilion, if Tian Xingmao's forces are really listening to the Rain Pavilion, then the situation is even more complicated. If you are not 100% sure, you will never put your power on the surface with the style of Listening to the Rain Pavilion. Tian Xingmao's power is huge, and with the remnants of Song Jiang joining, and with the cunning of the black-robed man, I don't know how much storm the Yuge can set off in the end. The Chai family is very powerful, but Chai Keyan is a descendant of the Great Zhou Dynasty after all, and his style of acting is fair and upright, and he is also a rich country. But listening to the rain pavilion is different, this is a group of bandits hiding in the sun, if they can't get the country, they will destroy the country. A villain is more terrible than a gentleman, and a scoundrel is more hateful than a villain.

On October 16 of the first year of Taikang, the regent Zhao Yougong left Bianliang City, the autumn color was blurry when he parted, the grass blades were withered and yellow, the northwest wind swept the cold and hit his back, and when he left, only Ruifeng Camp was with him, only Sanniang and Mu Wanqing were around, and even Yang Zaixing was left in Beijing. Looking at the back of the distance, Yang Zaixing slapped down the wall battlement, His Royal Highness is unpredictable, how can he feel at ease. He is not Han Shizhong, let alone Yue Fei, who started from the Chu Palace, with His Royal Highness, and grew from a small guard to a general, but his mind has not changed after all. If he can then protect the safety of His Highness, he would rather give up his position as the commander of the front division of this palace.

Zhao Yougong left, and the ancient Luoyang City also knew the news, Chai Keyan lay quietly on the couch, his legs curled up, and a faint loneliness appeared on the jade face like a clear water hibiscus. Zhao Ling actually left, the wind outside the window was raging, and it came in bursts, rolling in the autumn ink, and for a moment, her heart softened. Was she right or wrong? He stirred up the Great Song Dynasty here, forcing Zhao Ling to go to Liaodong to fight, Zhao Ling would rather abandon Gyeonggi Road in order to keep the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and what about himself? Maybe in terms of realm, he has really lost to Zhao Ling, but it seems that there is no other choice. Time precipitation, the vicissitudes of the years, today's Chai Keyan is a little less cold, a little more graceful, off the immature, a little more mature, but the loneliness and loneliness are eroding deeper and deeper.

"Queen Mother, news came from Fangzhou that Tuoba Qingyun's troops retreated south and disappeared, and General Chai Shirong asked for the next instructions!" An attendant walked in cautiously and secretly observed Chai Keyan's face from time to time. Don't look at the Cheshire Lord's beauty like a flower, peace and kindness, but that's all an illusion, a woman can control Luoyang and sit on an army of more than 100,000, can she rely on beauty? She has a heart like a femme fatale, and her methods are ruthless, and you have to be careful to deal with them.

Hearing the voice of the waiter, Chai Keyan slowly came back to his senses, tapped his finger on his forehead, which was a little painful, and closed his eyes gently. Tuoba Qingyun left Fangzhou, where can he go south? Enter the land of Jingxiang and encircle and suppress Tian Xingmao to the southeast? After thinking about it, he shook his head again, what does she do with Tuoba Qingyun, at least for now, if Tian Xingmao clashes with the Dingguo Army, it will only be good for the Chai family. Gradually, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Chai Keyan's mouth, "Order Chai Shirong, don't care about Tuoba Qingyun, occupy Fangzhou as quickly as possible, and pay close attention to the situation in Jingxiang." ”

Chai Keyan thought very simply, no matter what conspiracy and tricks the Dingguo Army has, as long as she has the opportunity, she will swallow the land of Jingxiang in one bite, there is only one Henan Mansion, which is far from enough for her, she needs the land of Jingxiang as the rear, and with the land of Jingxiang, she can go west to win the land of Shuzhong, at that time, she can really settle down and wrestle with the Dingguo Army. Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling, you go to Liaodong, and when you return, everything will be a different story.

Chai Keyan has some kind of idea, Zhao Yougong doesn't know at all, all his thoughts at this time are on Jingdong East Road, October 20 into Qingzhou, with the help of Murong Yanda to collect soldiers and horses on Jingdong Road, it is not an easy job to mobilize soldiers and horses from all sides, these soldiers are stationed in various places. Training varies. The quality also varies. No, the soldiers and horses from Jining are crooked, they look like there are many people, but the combat effectiveness is really flattering, so the first thing Zhao Yougong has to do is to eliminate those old, weak, sick and disabled, for two consecutive days, Qingzhou Mansion is doing tedious work, and after the elimination task is completed. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent browsed the army again, and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood on the general's platform, who would have thought that it would simply eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, and go to half of them at once. According to the news obtained from Qingzhou Mansion, there are only more than 13,000 soldiers in battle now, and they are still not under each other's control, and 13,000 people are really too few.

The prefect's yamen was brightly lit, and the three big men of Murong Yanda, Zhao Yougong, and Hu Cheng all had a bitter face, although the soldiers and horses on the Jingdong Road side were not the main force attacking Liaodong, and the main task was to control the Korean Peninsula. But 13,000 people, isn't the number too small? The three of them gathered at the prefect's yamen. is to come up with a feasible plan, Zhao Yougong has a headache. Hu Cheng rubbed his forehead, as if he had figured out something, and his eyes widened with excitement, "Your Highness, in addition to the government soldiers, there are other soldiers and horses in our various states!" ”

As soon as Hu Cheng said, Murong Yanda would be overwhelmed, he rolled his eyes, shook his beard and said a little unpleasantly, "General Hu, you can't be talking about people from the yamen, right?" ”

"The prefect is right, every state and county has officials, and the most important thing is that most of these officials are young and strong, and have received simple training. On average, there are more than 50 officials in the county, and there are more than 100 yamen in the state capital, and hundreds at most. The more Hu Cheng spoke, the more excited he became, but Murong Yanda's face became darker and darker, Hu Cheng thought of a good idea, those officials are responsible for maintaining local law and order, and are responsible for arresting the murderer and investigating the case.

"No, no, no" As soon as Hu Cheng finished speaking, Murong Yanda waved his hand vigorously, and Zhao Yougong held his chin thoughtfully. What Hu Cheng said is not a way, but what Murong Yanda is worried about is not unreasonable, if all the officials are transferred, it is really unrealistic. However, Hu Cheng's words gave His Royal Highness Zhao a wake-up call.

"Murong Prefect, what General Hu said, is indeed a good way, of course, it is not realistic to transfer all the officials. In this way, you immediately draw up an official document, and each state and county will send half of the officials to Qingzhou. In addition, every effort was made to arrest the evil ruffians and young men in various states and counties, and all the young and strong prisoners in the prison except for the condemned prisoners were also taken to Qingzhou! ”

Before His Royal Highness Zhao finished speaking, Murong Yanda and Hu Chengcheng's eyes widened incredibly, both of them were smart people, and after a little thought, they understood what His Royal Highness Zhao wanted to do. After a long time, I heard Murong Yanda let out a long sigh, good guy, His Highness really thinks that ordinary people dare not think of it, but after thinking about it carefully, I have to admire His Highness's whimsical ideas. Those evil ruffians were originally idlers, harassing the common people all day long, but they were doing trivial things that annoyed people, and there was no legal crime, so it was better to send them to the Korean Peninsula, without these scourges, the prefectures and counties would be much easier, and then there would be nothing to worry about when half of the officials were transferred. Don't worry about those ruffians daring to mess around, as long as they enter the barracks, they can still have their good, and when the time comes, they will have to shed their skin if they don't die, relying on the rigorous attitude of the Dingguo Army, they are guaranteed to train these people to be like individuals, as for those prisoners, it is even more wonderful. All it takes is one order, but those who fight bravely and contribute can have their sentences commuted, and are you afraid that these people will not work hard? As for not using the death penalty, it is easy to understand that the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty will never sentence a person who is not a great traitor and a great evildoer, since he is a great traitor, there is no chance of reform, otherwise the people of the Great Song Dynasty will not agree.

When His Royal Highness Zhao spoke, Murong Yanda felt a little enlightened, and when he found a way, he rushed to work. Anyway, since the Qingzhou Mansion issued an official document, Jingdong Road and even the states and counties of Hebei have launched a vigorous action to arrest the gangsters, for a time the states and counties are idle, and the evil ruffians who are not diligent in their limbs and grains have become frightened birds, and they can't wait to see people and say that they are good citizens, but unfortunately, this time the yamen seem to have taken the wrong medicine, but all those idle young people are all arrested, and they are not even bothered to be charged. Later, someone inquired, it turned out to be an order personally issued by His Royal Highness the Regent, but anyone who was idle and harmed the people in the township was all sent to the military camp for training, which could be regarded as educating the people of the Great Song Dynasty. As a result, the people applauded and praised the regent for his wisdom.

The people praised it, but Zhao Yougong is really wise, wrong, His Royal Highness Zhao's method is really a bit damaged, quite a bit of a strong grasp of the strong as a soldier, but the catch is just idle and bad reputation of the young man.

In ancient times, there was a technique of co-indulgence, to put it simply, it is to unite all the forces that can be united, and it is good for His Royal Highness Zhao to unite the officials, gangsters, and prisoners to invade the Korean Peninsula together, such a wonderful army, it can be regarded as a historical precedent.

In mid-November, when early winter came, at the base of Shamen Island in Bohai Bay, after a simple training, those prisoners and gangsters finally looked a little human, and they had to embark on a journey at this time. At this time, there are countless ships docked on the waterfront on the east side of the base of Shamen Island, and there are all kinds of keel boats and large barges, especially the large barges that are specially designed to transport soldiers, which look like an attic with a big belly. In this era, there was no so-called nautical knowledge, and the first time I fought across the sea, there was a natural sense of fear.

On the surface of the Bohai Bay, hundreds of ships compete for the current, and thousands of sails are flying together, in this era, such a magnificent naval army can be regarded as a giant on the sea. Those who were eager to clear their names with their exploits eagerly awaited, and Zhao Yougong huddled in the cabin, far less relaxed than when he was outside. At this time, he sat opposite Tang Miao and carefully looked at the letter in his hand. In order to find out the situation on the Korean Peninsula, the Intelligence Service and the Secret Hall have gone to great lengths to send back the details of the situation until today.

When I came here, I knew that the situation on the Korean Peninsula was complicated, but after I got to know it clearly, I realized that it was already extremely complicated. Nowadays, the Korean Peninsula can be described as full of powerful and powerful, not subordinate to each other, especially after the nominal master Murong Fu withdrew to the north, the situation is even more chaotic, all sides are fighting, the people are displaced, the whole situation is like Japan in the Warring States Period, and those powerful clans have become local daimyos.
