"Songshan is a shortcut, it seems to be happy and dangerous, the state affairs are only difficult, the temples and the princes, when ten thousand times more cautious, is the blessing of the community......"

"What's at stake? There are only 150,000 or 60,000 Zhuhuding in Yandong, and most of the elites are trapped in Yanxi, and there are only 50,000 or 60,000 left in Liaoxi; Even if the king of captives made the whole people soldiers, and the old and weak, women and children were mixed together, there would only be 50,000 or 60,000 weak brigades in front of Liaoxi. In the battle of Songshan, 10,000 of its elites were killed, and the remaining 40,000 or 50,000 were even more old and weak, and they had to defend the cities, which was a good opportunity for our dynasty to restore the hometown of Liaodong! Li Bingbu should take advantage of the victory to pursue, gather troops to attack his royal court, and it is only serious to complete the battle. ”

"Yandong Zhuhu Ding Zhuang 1560,000, but in the past ten years, the east and west have been conquering, Goryeo and Yanxi Zhuhu have all surrendered, and nearly one million Ding Zhuang have been captured. The Hu people are all soldiers, and the military system is very different from my Dayue. Although it was difficult to return to Yanxi with more than 100,000 cavalry, it was not difficult to send Ding Zhuang in the territory and recruit more than 100,000 or 200,000 male soldiers before the desperate situation of the country. Only having a victory in Matsuyama and making a rash statement is the root of the real disaster! ”

"I miss you Zhao Shuhan is also a person in Shilin, I didn't expect you to be so incorruptible! In the nine years of Chongguan, the captives broke the border and invaded, and it is true that they took away 300,000 Dingkou. However, the people of Dayue are all taught by etiquette and deeply cherish the kindness of the court, and when the king arrives to save him from fire and water, he will surely rejoice and be inspired. Zhao Shuhan, but you said today that they would help the abuse, what kind of intentions are hidden? ”

"Zhao can learn from the sun and the moon, I wish the court was good, so I came to discuss with you, Songshan's victory is too easy, so you have to be more careful."

"In all your words, you actually claim that the loss of Matsuyama is a trap set by the Eastern Prisoner? What a laugh out of people's big teeth! Songshan is to Liaoyang, such as Yanjing in Linyu, all of which are key places. How brain-dead does the captive king have to be to deliberately abandon the key place of the portal? Do you really think that the mind of the captive king is like yours? ”

"Bah, all state affairs are bad and other obscenities and arrogant hands, if you don't notice it today, it's too late to regret it!" Argued here, Zhao Shuhan was also on fire, and he couldn't care about his identity as a master of craftsmanship, so he scolded loudly, wanting to wake up these delusional and reckless scholars.

"Haha......" Yu Bijiang laughed loudly, looked around and said, "Wait, please look at Brother Zhao's angry and corrupt state, can there be a little bit of nonsense?" Wang Shi has just won a great victory, and the whole world celebrates the same thing, but he told him so unlucky, what did he think? Could it be that he was benefited by the East Captives? ”

This is the hall where the feudal building enters, and the small platform originally built for Kabuki performances is becoming a debate platform for Zhao Shuhan and Yu Bijiang to argue about northern affairs in public. The stage was full of scholars, but in the current atmosphere, Zhao Shuhan completely suppressed Yu Bijiang.

Every time Yu Bijiang spoke, the audience applauded, and whenever Zhao Shuhan had a discussion, the audience applauded, and occasionally there was cynicism.

"You!" Zhao Shuhan saw Yu Bijiang's blood spurting from his mouth, he was so angry that he wanted to spurt blood, he opened his mouth to argue, and a black shadow flashed from the oblique in the cold, and he didn't have time to dodge away, but he poured a plate of leek scrambled eggs on his chest, he was stunned for a moment, but he listened to someone in the hall sneering: "Get out, Hu Dog who has the ambition of others!" ”

In the feudal building, the hall was full of laughter and uproar, and the scholars and drinkers rushed up one after another, wanting to drive Zhao Shuhan down.

Zhao Shuhan was so angry that he coughed loudly, and his phlegm was mixed with blood. At this moment, two strong men dressed casually came from the inside, squeezed into it to protect Zhao Shuhan, who was so angry that he was about to lose his mind, and whispered in his ear: "Lord Gu is inside, please Mr. Zhao don't pay attention to these frivolous people!" ”

Hearing that Gu Wuchen was in the room, Zhao Shuhan was a little calmer, took care of his robe a little, and didn't care about the stains on his body, so he walked with the people to the wine pavilion inside.

Yu Bijiang saw Zhao Shuhan leaving in embarrassment, and he was even more proud, and said loudly: "What kind of person is Li Bingbu, Chongguan for ten years, he took over the military department, and said that he would be able to settle things for five years, but his knowledge is not as good as Brother Zhao, who talks about soldiers on paper?" I advise Brother Zhao, don't come out again and be embarrassed! ”

Zhao Shuhan was resentful in his heart, and left in a hurry, entered the wine pavilion, closed the door, and could still hear the laughter outside.

But it was Gu Wuchen and Grandpa Zeng Mingxin who were drinking here, accompanied by Zhao Qinmin and Sun Wenbing and others, Zeng Mingxin saw that Zhao Shuhan was still angry, and comforted him with kind words: "The heart is like a stubborn stone, if you don't turn it, you can't make it a point, why does Mr. Zhao argue with them?" If they were useful, how did state affairs fall to such a state? "Please sit down.

The old grandfather said this, Zhao Shuhan was in a slightly better mood, and he saluted Zeng Mingxin and Gu Wuchen and sat down, still worried, and said: "The wind is like this, if the imperial court can't see the situation clearly, and urge Li Bingbu to promote the army from Songshan Cang to attack Liaoyang, the situation will be dangerous!" ”

Gu Wuchen didn't want to tell Zhao Shuhan more confidential things, but said: "All the princes of the imperial court have strategies, and they will plan and then act, so we don't need to worry too much...... and said to Sun Wenbing, "You accompany Mr. Zhao to sit here for a while, don't let Mr. Zhao argue with those frivolous gentlemen outside." ”

"Yes." Sun Wenbing nodded in response.

Gu Wuchen and Zeng Mingxin had been drinking for a long time, and there were all the remaining drinks on the table.

Zhao Shuhan and Yu Bijiang discussed, and they also heard it from the beginning to the end. In any case, Zhao Shuhan is a grandmaster figure who Lin Tie erected in Jiangning to promote miscellaneous craftsmanship, and Gu Wuchen can't let that group of ignorant people insult him so much outside, seeing that the scene is out of control, he asked Zhao Shuhan to come in.

Gu Wuchen arched his hand towards Zeng Mingxin and said: "Grandpa Guo, Wuchen has other affairs, so don't worry about it......" Zeng Mingxin is a contemporary of Tang Haoxin, and the lord is prominent, although Gu Wuchen is in power, he is still a gift to the younger generation.

"Well, state affairs are difficult, and you can't delay your time," Zeng Mingxin said, "I have nothing to do, so I will stay here to pass the ......time."

Gu Wuchen and Zhao Qinmin left surrounded by all the followers, and Zeng Mingxin asked people to remove the remnants of the banquet and replace it with new wine.

Without Gu Wuchen present, Zhao Shuhan spoke casually and asked Sun Wenbing: "What does Huaidong think of the victory in Songshan?" ”

Although Sun Wenbing has no official position, he is Huaidong's representative in Jiangning, so he is qualified to accompany Zeng Mingxin and Gu Wuchen, and naturally knows the secrets.

Sun Wenbing shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Yu Bijiang is a celebrity in Jiangning, the son of Yu Xinyuan, and he serves as an official in the Jiangning Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is so knowledgeable, Jiangning is full of enthusiasm for scholars, Mr. Zhao thinks Huaidong can look at Songshan victory like this?" Now we can only hope that Li Bingbu can withstand the pressure in western Liaoning, and hold Songshan City until the thaw of Liaodong Bay after next spring, which is a real victory! ”

Hearing Sun Wenbing say this, Zhao Shuhan looked at Zeng Mingxin.

Zeng Mingxin shook his head sadly with a sad face, it was no longer pessimistic, but desperate.

"'The general is outside, and the king's order is not granted', as long as Li Bingbu can recognize the situation and stick to Songshan until next spring, why is Grandpa Guo still so sad?" Zhao Shuhan asked anxiously.

Zeng Mingxin waved his hand and asked the entourage to guard outside, and then said: "Junming and Chenxian, there is a beautiful talk of 'will be outside, the king's order will not be granted', and now the first person I want to fight is the one in the palace, how can Li Zhuo 'not grant the king's order'?" Li Zhuo's lonely pillar is difficult to support, and the building will fall! ”

If you want to talk about the influence on the Jibei Army, Hao Zongcheng, who has been the military envoy and the military leader for a long time, is not under Li Zhuo - with the suspicious nature of Emperor Chongguan, how can he let Li Zhuo take charge of the Jibei Army alone? Li Zhuo can't control the Jibei Army independently, so what is the "king's order not granted"?

"Zhang Xie, Chen Xinbo and other public officials, carefully plan for the society, should not be rash and aggressive; Hao Zongcheng is not a presumptuous person! Zhao Shuhan said.

"There is a kind of person who is as timid as a mouse when he loses, as frivolous and stupid as a pig, who has no self-knowledge, and who is even more ignorant of the enemy," Zeng Mingxin said, "Shu Han, do you think you can pin your hopes on such a person?" ”

Zeng Mingxin looked coldly at a more than one son of the Dayue Dynasty, what is there in the officialdom that he can't see through?

Zhao Shuhan heard that Zeng Mingxin was also so pessimistic, and suddenly felt cold!

At this moment, there was an uproar outside, Sun Wenbing walked over and opened the doors and windows a little, and heard Yu Bijiang generously discussing state affairs outside: "At this time, the imperial court should order the defenders of Datong to drag the enemy of Yanxi at all costs; ordered the Dengzhou sailors to learn the art of Huaidong invasion, rushed to Liaodong, and smashed behind the enemy; Then he ordered the deputy marshal to lead the elite stationed in Linyu, and join forces with the Li soldiers who occupied Songshan, and kill the captive soldiers Wang Ting Liaoyang - or besiege but not attack, wait for the Yanxi captives to return to help, and defeat them with leisure and labor - the rule of Dayue Zhongxing can be expected today! The hall applauded again and again, and praised Yu Bijiang and said that the soldiers were like gods, and they should be the choice of the deputy marshal.

"Lieutenant?" Sun Wenbing and Zeng Mingxin looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that Yu Bijiang and the others already had the idea of finding someone to replace Li Zhuo in their hearts. At this moment, inside and outside the wine pavilion, the cold and heat are so distinct!

****************

On the long street on a cold night, Yang Pu led the carriage with Hu, and Zhao Qinmin accompanied Gu Wuchen to sit in the spacious and luxurious carriage, and the curtain opened a corner to let the lantern in the corner of the carriage let in the light.

"The situation in western Liaoning is unclear, Huaidong wants to ask for the position of Hailing prefect, will it be too eager?" Zhao Qinmin asked softly.

What Zhao Qinmin said at this time was that Lin Jian wrote a letter to discuss with Gu Wuchen about seeking the position of Hailing prefect.

Gu Wuchen fell into silence, he had been exiled to the border for ten years, and he knew a lot about Yandong Zhuhu, but if he wanted to say that the king of the captives used Songshan City as bait, he was still very unsure.

Songshan is to Liaoyang, just like Linyu is to Yanjing. If it is said that the Great Yue Dynasty wants to lure the enemy deeper, who dares to use Linyu as bait?

If the results of the great victory in Matsuyama were finally preserved, and the vitality of the eastern captives was greatly damaged in this battle, the northern front would be relieved, and the imperial court would be able to draw a large number of elites from the northern front to the south.

At this time, Lin Jian also used the Jinhai Grain Road to force the position of the prefect of Hailing, and when the northern front eased up, the imperial court was afraid that it would be the first to cut the military power of Huaidong? It was self-defeating then!

In Zhao Qinmin's view, the situation is unclear, and Huaidong should not endlessly test the bottom limit of the imperial court.

Zhao Qinmin saw that Gu Wuchen was silent for a long time, and knew that he was also conflicted in his heart, so he said, "Why don't I go to Chongzhou?" ”

"It's good!" Gu Wuchen was really difficult to decide, and he thought that it would be best to let Zhao Qinmin go, and persuade Lin Jian to temporarily give up the prefect of Qiuhailing; Lin Jian is still young, and he has the opportunity to pay homage to the marquis, so he shouldn't be in a hurry.
