Later, Wang Ju met with some of the great monks of Hehuang.

These great monks can't be underestimated, even in this period of history, they are also very active, not only cooperated with the Song Dynasty to persuade the Xizhou tribes to surrender, but also in history Chongpu was on the occasion of a monk, and was ambushed and sacrificed. It was in the hands of Wang Ju that they were also very active, and Wang Ju gave them a promise in Hezhou, that is, to take out a lot of money to build temples for them and promote "Buddhism", so many monks happily took the initiative to go to various ministries for Wang Ju to be lobbyists, and the role was also not small.

So Wang Ju was busy with everything, and took the time to gather some famous monks to Lanzhou together.

They are all high monks, all of them are dignified, the monks' robes are fluttering, and the people of Lanzhou look at their appearance, and worship on both sides of the road.

Wang Ju was funny in his heart, yes, it seems that these monks make people feel tall, but don't take it seriously, they are the masters of a group of murderous and arsonous gold belts.

He welcomed the group of eminent monks to the state ya, ordered the yamen to serve tea, and then talked.

The first is to further woo in.

Why did Wang Ju successfully win the entire Huangzhou region? In fact, the reason is very simple, it's not that the Tubo people are not strong, and this is still their home field. It's that the Tubo crowd has no leader, Ali Gu, can they agree very much? However, for the Song Dynasty, not many people agree.

Now the situation in Tibet, just like the Minions in the movie, has no master, one by one the six gods have no owner, so the role of these monks can be shown, and under their guidance, there will be many Tibetans who recognize the Song Dynasty as the master.

In this way, the river will become more and more stable in the future.

Even later, Wang Ju officially asked the people to pay taxes. I also want these monks to come to the aid and cooperate.

The second thing. It's another promise. In order to express his gratitude, once the imperial court uses troops in the Hexi Corridor in the future, Wang Ju will further build temples in these states, and invite them to go to promote Buddhism and carry forward Buddhism.

Wang Ju's intention to do this is actually to use Buddhism to build a firewall in the Hexi Corridor, and now the Black Khan has a good relationship with the Song Dynasty, but that religion. Wang Ju has always been worried, think about the tragedy in the Tongzhi period.

At present, the Hexi Corridor is still dominated by Buddhism, but Wang Ju learned that some of the greens have invaded according to the information obtained by the scouts.

This is an extremely dangerous sign, and even if many people will be displaced in the future, it should not be forgotten that the proportion of Uighurs in this area is much higher than the proportion of the Qing Dynasty.

But how did these monks know, they were very grateful one by one, and then went back happily.

It's colder, and some small rivers are shallow. It's all starting to freeze.

The imperial court suddenly sent an envoy to pass the edict, and the king of Zhao quickly entered Beijing to report on his work.

Go to Beijing to report on work. This is normal, not only this year, but next year Wang Ju may also go to Beijing to report on his work, so as to communicate with the imperial court, Wang Ju needs to understand the situation of the country, and the country also needs to understand the situation in the northwest and Wang Ju's plan.

However, Qiong Niang asked in surprise with a teapot: "Envoy Zhu, this is too early." ”

There is no difference between morning and evening, the problem is that Wang Ju is still used to prevaricate the Khitan envoy, but it is only the beginning of winter, and the word "speed" has been added.

Wang Ju waved his hand and motioned to Qiong Niang not to speak, and he asked in a harmonious voice: "The official dragon is still healthy, right?" ”

"Taibao has won great victories one after another, as the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, how can the official dragon body not be healthy?"

Zhao Ju is still alive, there will be no twelve gold medal stories, and it is not that Wang Ju is suspicious, there are many things in such a big stall in the northwest, but what worries Wang Ju the most is Zhao Ju's body. Zhao Ji is safe and sound, then there will be no demon moths in the rear, but if Zhao Ji has something, there will be demon moths in the rear. So Wang Ju said: "Okay, let's go back to Beijing together." ”

The group quickly returned to the capital.

As soon as Wang Ju arrived in the capital, he was invited to the palace by Zhao Ji.

He was taken to the Yanhe Hall by the eunuchs, and in addition to Zhao Ji, there were several prime ministers. The other ministers were gone, because it was likely that some confidential military affairs would be discussed below.

Zhao Ji asked straight to the point: "Wang Qing, why did you let the Xia envoy bring that national letter to Beijing?" ”

You still haven't figured it out.

Wang Judao: "Your Majesty, this matter is a bit long, let the minister start with Liaodong." In the spring of this year, the Jurchen rebels swelled to nearly 40,000 men, and in one fell swoop, they took Xianzhou and Yinzhou, which is an important gateway to the whole of southern Liaoning. Therefore, the Liao State launched an army of 70,000 or 80,000 to intercept it. The two armies met, and the Jurchens gradually lost their opponents. ”

Wang Ju's judgment of the combat effectiveness of the Liao army mainly came from this battle.

"However, at that time, the minister asked the other side to select a few past observations who knew a little about military affairs, and the leader of them was called Lu Hui, and he offered a strategy to the Jurchens, so that they could retreat sharply, until they stopped until a tributary of the upper reaches of the Kuhan River."

People who understand military affairs on the other side are also easy to understand, and the other side is also fighting, but the enemy's resistance is relatively low.

In fact, you can't think like that, when you get to the two continents over there, the enemy's resistance has become very high.

Then he used the strategy of the minister in Huachi County, but the difference was that the minister used nine corpses to welcome guests in Qingxichuan, which frightened the Xia army, so he camped in Qingxichuan, and the minister's plan to attack the water succeeded successfully. Lu Hui directly asked 3,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses to confront each other across the river, forcibly stopped the main army of tens of thousands of Liao States on the other side of the river, and then dug a dam dozens of miles upstream from the river, causing tens of thousands of Liao troops to almost be wiped out. ”

The tens of thousands of Liao troops were almost completely wiped out, and the 3,000 Jurchen soldiers were also almost completely wiped out.

But it's not my own child, and it doesn't hurt to sell it.

After this battle, the Jurchens grew rapidly, including the Changbai Mountain and Huiba, and some tribes came to defect. Therefore, the Liao State gathered another 200,000 troops and sniped on both sides. Lu Hui saw that the enemy was strong, so he instructed the Jurchens to divide a part of their forces and go down the Yalu River, just as all the Liao troops on the east side of the Yalu River were withdrawn, so they quickly occupied Baozhou and Kaizhou on the west bank of the Liao State, and asked people to use the Goryeo language, pretending to be an order from the king of Goryeo, Wang Xuan, to tempt a Goryeo army on the other side to lead the troops to replace them. Then they trailed. Withdraw to the east coast of Goryeo. With the help of the sea boat, he turned back again. ”

First of all, Wu Nan and others entered Goryeo in the spring. He even came to the vicinity of the Yalu River to inquire about the terrain and various situations, and at the same time learned that there was a Goryeo guard named Li Bingzhen, who was very brave and hated the Liao State, but this person was extremely powerful, but he was a muscular man. A rough man who lacks brains.

The gap was opened from his hand.

But the root cause still comes from the Liao State, and the Liao State looks around, and it seems that there is no opponent, so starting from the previous king of Goryeo, Wang Hui, he began to harass Goryeo again, causing the Goryeo people to be like the Song soldiers in the Qingli period to the Western Xia, with hatred and fear in their hearts, not Li Bingzhen alone.

Of course, these situations are separated by a sea, and Wang Ju doesn't know about it. Otherwise, he would have made a few better moves.

After they were inquired about by Wu Nan, Wu Nan and Lu Hui took advantage of the situation to make these arrangements. The reason why Li Bingzhen was chosen as a general. One is that he hates Liao, and the other is that he has developed limbs, is simple-minded, and is easy to be fooled.

However, the whole process is not as simple as Wang Ju said, especially from the temptation of Li Bingzhen to enter the palace, it can be said that it is frightening step by step.

And Li Bingzhen took the Goryeo soldiers and horses, and after handing over the city of Kaiyuan, it was also difficult to withdraw to Goryeo, because now the entire Yalu River is controlled by the Liao State, including the entire Changbai Mountain area of the east coastline of Goryeo, and the south to the Korean Xingnan, all of which belong to the territory of the Liao State, although this terrain is mainly mountainous, the Liao State still stationed some outposts and forts, so it is not only necessary to break the whole into pieces, hide from the eyes of the Goryeo people, but also hide from the eyes of the Liao people, so as to slowly dive to the east coast, with the help of night, board the big ship with a small boat, and then follow the northeast wind, Return to Michigan and Beyond.

But the five thousand soldiers and horses on the other side didn't talk about it, otherwise it would make everyone have some unnecessary associations.

In fact, when the Song Dynasty was beheaded, there were no natural enemies on the seaside, including the Wa Kingdom.

Now the richest country is not the Song Dynasty, but the Wa State.

With the transportation of large quantities of timber, gold and silver to the Song Dynasty, all kinds of scarce commercial goods of the Wa Kingdom were also continuously transported from the Song Dynasty, but quietly, the water and soil in some parts of the Wa Kingdom began to deteriorate.

In fact, even if the water and soil do not deteriorate and there is no sea ban, then there will be no secret collusion of coastal businessmen, and the Japanese are also not enough to do harm, and when it is really enough to do harm, history does not know what kind of new chapter it will open.

From this point of view, there is no need to make the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty worry in the future.

Zhao Ji said: "No wonder ......"

"No wonder?"

"Wang Qing, you go on first."

"On the Liaodong side, Lu Hui saw that the enemy was strong, and continued to guide these Jurchens, using Li Jiqian's kind of tactics, coupled with the mountains and black waters in the depths of Liaodong, the vast land and sparsely populated areas, and launched a guerrilla war with the Liao army."

"Guerrilla warfare?" Fan Chunren asked puzzled.

"The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance, that is, taking advantage of the terrain, finding a way to avoid the enemy's main army, constantly harassing its rear and supplying it, or seeing the enemy's small army, gathering superior forces and annihilating it. Even when it comes to critical time, you can fake surrender and wait until the enemy's main army is gone to rebel again. You must know that the entire deep area of Liaodong is very large, and there must be more than just these 40,000 or 50,000 Ding Zhuang, and there are also many tribes who did not participate in the rebellion. Under such repeated deception, the Liao army will miscalculate, suppress some tribes that did not rebel, and execute some strong tribes who really surrendered, so the scale of the rebellion will become larger and larger. The generals sent by the Liao State this time seemed to have some ability, but because of this measure, the rebellion had not been cleared until the autumn. ”

After the withdrawal of thousands of troops on the other side, Lu Hui and dozens of main generals did not retreat, but they were mixed in the huge rebel army, and they were not conspicuous, if it was really dangerous, there were few people, and it was easy to escape. There's also an ice-free harbor over there, and a small boat escapes.

The latter news was sent by Wu Nan and them halfway through Wang Ju's entry into Beijing.

"Can this be delayed until next year?"

"The ministers are not very clear, the Jurchens are not afraid of the cold, and the Liao people are not afraid of the cold, especially because of the war, which seriously harms agriculture and animal husbandry, and it is very difficult in winter."

Wang Ju sighed, there is a difference between having a complete Yan and a bone and not having a complete Yan and a bone.

"But in any case, this year the Liao country has been hit hard. So at that time, Liu Changzuo sent this letter of state to the minister, and Han Yun, the servant of the minister, said that he would immediately send the envoy of Xia out of the country with this letter of state. However, the minister did not agree. After all, this year, Western Xia was extremely embarrassed, and our dynasty occupied Yinzhou again. But at that time, the ministers wanted to confuse the Liao State. He said to the Liao envoy that the minister went to the northwest to rectify the border defense. By the way, he will teach the Western Xia a lesson, not to destroy the Western Xia, so as to win precious time. If such a letter of state is sent out of the country by the minister, the minister's intention will be clear. ”

"You mean to agree to make peace?"

"Exactly."

"After agreeing to negotiate peace, I will use troops to ......," Fan Chunren said.

"Fan Gong, the core idea of Confucianism is the inner and outer kings, what is the holy way of kingship? To be benevolent internally, to the external is to be peaceful, to be cut. Be fierce, do whatever it takes. As for the promise, it can't be disobeyed, but Guan Jian sees who to keep it, and the Western Xia has kept the covenant against our dynasty? Even if the Liao State was better, it turned 300,000 into 500,000, and the year of friendship became a humiliating year, and the east side of the river extorted another 700 miles. In fact, peace is made by the strength of a country, and since ancient times, there has never been a covenant that can be exchanged for true peace. On the contrary, the wise will confuse their enemies with covenants. Tie the hands and feet of the enemy. Only a foolish person would tie himself hand and foot with a covenant. Let me give you an example, is Tang Taizong a Ming Jun? Tang Taizong and Tuli became allies on the banks of the Weishui River, but in the end, how did Tang Taizong treat this ally? The reason why I have repeatedly clashed with Wen Gong and them is precisely because of this disagreement. When I say love for the people, I mean love for all the people, and the people in the eyes of the Duke of Wen are only scholars. Are Brother Zhang Jiao scholars, are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang scholars, and Huang Chao scholars? Then my idea is that the inner saint and the outer king should make all the people in the country as rich and strong as possible, and be fierce to the outside. Duke Wen led the Song Dynasty to the inner and outer saints, treating scholars and doctors with kindness, treating enemies with kindness, and treating the common people with ferocity, obviously a Confucian minister, but he did the opposite of Confucianism......"

Especially in the Qing Dynasty, it was better to give friends than slaves.

And this kind of thinking has even affected ****, many people have taken off the discernment on their heads, and the discernment in their hearts has not been removed, and there are even more excesses, if they are infertility, they will not be infertile, whether it is borrowing seeds or surrogacy, how many people in **** actually use surrogacy from the Japanese people, and they spend a lot of money to ask the Japanese people to be surrogacy, and it is cheap to this step!

"Your Majesty, and the minister did this, there is another reason, originally Liang Yiqi planned very well this time, if our dynasty does not agree to negotiate peace, it will make the people of all tribes in Western Xia hate the same enemy, and will win the help of the Liao people."

"The help of the Liao?" Zhao Ji was surprised.

If what Wang Ju said is all true, the Liao State suffered heavy losses this time, the first two times, at least let the Jurchens toss nearly 100,000 troops, and now there are still 200,000 troops trapped in Liaodong, how to help Western Xia?

"Liaoguo is a soldier for all people, of course, this is impossible, if you really want to help, even if the 200,000 army is trapped in Liaodong, many soldiers and horses will be drawn." Wang Ju explained simply. For the first time in history, the Liao State dispatched 100,000 troops to suppress the defeat of Yan Agu, and then the Liao State dispatched 700,000 soldiers and horses. Of course, but this is also the limit of the Liao State, so after the defeat of 700,000 soldiers and horses, the Liao State had no troops left, and the country quickly perished. Therefore, Wang Ju said that if the Liao State really agreed to rescue the Western Xia, it was still possible to draw out more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

"The Liao army is not as strong as we thought, but it is not so weak either, and if there is a war on both sides, there will be some variables. Now it is still the minister's original strategy, first continue to stabilize the Liao State, and then quickly pacify the Western Xia, even if the Liao State sends troops, the minister is not afraid. But in just a few months, it is best not to have accidents, now the Western Xia sent envoys to negotiate peace, and our dynasty also agreed to negotiate peace, and after negotiating peace, it is better to confuse the Liao State, maybe they will send more troops in order to solve Liaodong as soon as possible, and when it comes to the beginning of spring, they will send more troops. In that case, the northwest can be determined. ”

Zhao Ji paced a few steps, although Wang Ju was reasonable, but no matter what, he had agreed to peace, but he immediately regretted it, this kind of thing Zhao Ji still couldn't do.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is a more important reason why the minister has this choice, that is, Liang Yiqi drew an extra tail this time."

"Drawing snakes?"

"Well, Liang Yi's strategy is still good this time, I don't agree to negotiate peace, agree to negotiate peace, the minister still has a year and a half to go, so he went to the other side, then Xixia will win an important respite, and he will be able to make a comeback in the future. But after he wrote this letter of state, he secretly sent spies to infiltrate the border with our DPRK, and threatened everywhere that the minister's military ability was better than Liu Jinu's, and he also made up a ballad, Zi'an's merit. Better than a slave. Straight through Helan. Play an indispensable role. ”

"Who would dare to spread such a threat?" Zhang Dan said.

"Zihou, Guan Jian is a few people who know who Liu Jinu is, and over the years, the Western Xia has repeatedly invaded, and the hardships of the border people are hard to imagine if they don't witness it with their own eyes. Especially the people of Gyeongju and Yeonju, the former died in a foreign country because of the defeat of Lingzhou, and the latter was also turned into white bones because of the defeat of Yongle City. Now that our dynasty has reversed the situation and won many great victories, the people on the border are unimaginably happy, so they have doubled their love for the Great Song Dynasty, the soldiers of the three armies, and the ministers, who think that the slave is still a famous general of the Hu people. There are also words that break Helan, so they sing one after another. Then spread to the capital. His Majesty was jealous of his ministers, and took back the military power of his ministers, and the crisis in Western Xia was resolved. ”

This is what the minister said, first, he underestimated His Majesty's trust in the minister, and second, he underestimated the love of the soldiers of the three armies for the Great Song Dynasty. If I command a large army to the enemy, the officers and men of the three armies will all march forward bravely, but if I lead the three armies to the rear, I believe that if I give an order in front, the officers and men of the three armies will be divided in the back. Therefore, the way of the country is that the monarch must be sage, the minister must be wise, and the politics must be clear. ”

"This tail not only will not work, but will be used by the minister, the minister ordered the border generals, secretly investigate these scouts, and secretly monitor them, and in the spring of next year, all of them will be captured in one fell swoop, since Liang Yikui compared the minister to the Southern Song Dynasty Gaozu, and used this to frame the minister, will the minister still abide by the peace alliance?"

There are excuses.

But it's not that simple, if Wang Ju doesn't have a good time, he talks about it and uses it, once it reaches the capital, it will definitely make Zhao Ji suspicious. Even if the Western Xia is destroyed next year, the officers and soldiers of the three armies will not be able to disarm and return to the field, and they will have to prevent the Liao State and build the Great Wall. As long as Zhao Ji takes back Wang Ju's military power, the major event will be rested again.

Besides, there are many Wang Ju's political enemies in the court, what will they do when they hear this rumor, you know, sometimes stick killing can also kill people.

Otherwise, Liu Changzuo heard that this ballad was being sung among the people, and immediately wrote to Wang Ju, and sent many people to check where this ballad came from.

This analogy is very vicious, because Wang Ju's merits are so similar to Liu Yu's original merits, and the strength in his hands and his prestige in the army are also so similar.

Think about it, Xia Zhu only used one Yihuo to get Fubi and Shi Jie and others down, are Yiyin and Huo Guang anti-ministers? Not to mention Liu Yu.

However, what Wang Ju said is not unreasonable, the reason why Liu Yu successfully replaced Sima and became the emperor was that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in a mess at that time and lost the support of the people. In the current Song Dynasty, Wang Ju just has that mind, see how many soldiers and how many people support him in rebellion? Less than 20%!

But Wang Ju unveiled it, and this matter is not over......

But Wang Ju is not in a hurry, Guan Jian is next year, time flies quickly, and a year passes in the blink of an eye. In the year after tomorrow, the overall situation has been decided, some soldiers have been sent back, and Wang Ju is approaching the time to go to the other side.

Wang Ju said it, so he didn't say much deeper, and asked: "Your Majesty, it's okay to ask the minister in the next edict on this matter, why did you send the minister back to the capital so early?" ”

It's okay to go to Beijing to report on work, but there are still a lot of things in the northwest.

"Goryeo also sent an envoy, about the Goryeo people sent troops to Kaiju in Liao, the emperor of Liao was furious, defeated him, and sent an envoy to reprimand the king of Goryeo, the king of Goryeo suspected that our dynasty was to blame them, so he sent an envoy to inquire."

The specific Zhao Ji is also not clear, in fact, when thousands of soldiers on the other side captured Kaizhou City, the Liao State began to send troops to rescue, the Liao army arrived, thousands of soldiers on the other side absconded, Li Bingzhen really became a scapegoat, and the two countries fought under Kaizhou City. The Liao State had few troops, Li Bingzhen had even fewer troops, and the Goryeo army was quickly defeated. This is not done by the Koreans, but also by the Koreans.

However, the Liao army was pinned down by the Jurchens in the depths of Liaodong, and the Liao army took back the old city and fort, and did not dare to march to Goryeo, but Yelu Hongji, the Liao Taoist sect, was furious and sent an envoy to ask first, not only asking why Goryeo sent troops to capture the Liao Fort and Kaizhou on both sides of the Yalu River, but also asking why Goryeo supported the Jurchen weapons and induced them to rebel.

The king of Goryeo was confused, and then sent someone to investigate.

There is indeed a rebellion in the depths of Liaodong in the Liao Kingdom, but the exact situation is not clear.

Li Bingzhen did lead his troops to enter Kaizhou Laiyuancheng, but it was not he who captured it, but thousands of other Goryeo soldiers who captured it, and it was those thousands of Goryeo soldiers who could not be found, and what was even more hateful was that these thousands of Goryeo soldiers also falsely passed on his orders, which made Li Bingzhen fooled.

The king of Goryeo, Wang Xuan, was very angry and put Li Bingzhen to death first, the reason why Li Bingzhen was fooled was because he saw the two sides fighting hotly before, and because he hated Liao, but Goryeo sent an order, and there was also a letter of the order, and he could not see that the two sides were fighting, and there was no letter of the letter, so he was fooled.

Wang Yang passed Li Bingzhen's head to the Liao State to apologize, and then discussed with the ministers, what happened to these thousands of people, some people suspected that it was the Song Dynasty, but some people didn't believe it, if the Song Dynasty attacked the Liao State and didn't attack the Yanyun region, why did they come to Liaodong?

In desperation, Wang Xuan sent people to continue the investigation, and at the same time sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty to ask questions tentatively.

Anyway, now the maritime trade of the Song Dynasty is more developed driven by the other side, and there are not only ships on the other side, but also many ships of the Song Dynasty. And it's just such a strait, and there is a city in Mizhou, which is actually not far away.

After receiving the report from the city department, the ministers didn't know how to answer, and even the detailed situation, no one knew it, so Zhao Ji issued an edict and asked Wang Ju to enter Beijing quickly. He also ordered the officials along the way to entertain the Goryeo envoys and drag them as long as possible.

Despite this, the Goryeo envoy came to the capital the day before yesterday, and is still dragging it to the post house.

"Your Majesty, leave this to the minister...... Your Majesty, the present of the Great Song Dynasty is Your Majesty, and the future of the Great Song Dynasty is the prince, and when the minister receives the Goryeo envoys, he receives them in the name of the prince, and then the minister speaks. ”

This is a nice saying, but in fact, it is for Zhao Maid to observe from the side and see how Wang Ju negotiated with the Goryeo envoy.

Fan Chunren's mouth opened again, Wang Ju is kind, this is for the Song Dynasty to carry the prince of the prince, but is this really good, is it really appropriate? (To be continued.) )
