Chapter one hundred and forty-eight
As early as the first year of Zhenghe, Tong Guan went to Liao to envoy him and brought one person back to Song to meet Emperor Zhao Ji of Song.
This man's surname is Ma Zhi. He was originally a great family of the Yanyun family. He was depressed and unsuccessful in Liao. After meeting Emperor Zhao Ji of Song, he offered a plan to destroy Liao and defeat the sixteen states of Yanyun. The Song Dynasty was shocked by the court, which was said to be no less than the "Longzhong Pair" of Kongming of the Three Kingdoms.
At first, Emperor Zhao Ji of Song did not dare to act rashly and was more cautious. He also warned his subordinates and border generals not to make trouble easily, not to cause trouble at will, etc. After all, the Song and Liao sides had a "Tanyuan Alliance" that lasted for a hundred years. Until the seventh year of Zhenghe, Emperor Zhao Ji of Song heard that the Jin had attacked the west of the Liao River and that the Liao demise was only in a daze. So Zhao Ji, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others began to worry. Zhao Ji also frequently sent envoys to the north through sea routes, trying to join the Jin Dynasty to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.
The Song-Jin alliance was about to be held, and the Song army was about to lead the troops north, so it was urgent to resolve the matter of Xixia at this time. Tong Guan led the army to send troops to solve the matter of Xixia once and for all. He either conquered Xixia and made Xixia bow down or silenced Xixia, so that Xixia would no longer have the power to resist, so that he could free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with the already surviving Liao, and recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, so as to realize the dreams of the Song monarch and ministers.
This time, Tong Guan discussed the army, intending to use the power of Hengshan's victory to send troops outside the border, inviting the "remnants" of Xixia to capture the Xixia Shuofang, and solve the Xixia incident in one fell swoop. However, several generals in the army, Zhong Shidao, Liu Fa and others, even opposed it unanimously. This made Tong Guan angry and angry, and was extremely anxious.
So Tong Guan pointed at Liu Fa and said angrily: "When you were in the capital, you personally received the order from the king's place and said that you would succeed. Now it is difficult, why is it?"
When Liu Fa heard this, he was speechless and was so angry that his chest was so violently fluctuated. For a moment, he was speechless and had not spoken for a long time.
When Liu Fa was facing a saint, Emperor Zhao Ji of Song asked about the war in Western Xia. Liu Fa said that he would win. Emperor Zhao Ji of Song was of course "very happy" when he heard about it.
.
.
But then Liu Fa only said that he would definitely defeat the Xia army, but defeat and attack were two different things. How could he say the same thing? A rabbit could bite three people when he was anxious, let alone Xixia, which had been established for more than 80 years? At this time, you, Tong Guan and Tong, wanted to destroy Xixia with just hundreds of thousands of troops? The Song army was still a tired army at this time. Isn’t this a fantasy? Song and Xia fought for decades, and they won and lost each other. No one could do anything to each other. Just win and win and win? Just want to destroy Xixia? Tong Guan or Zhao Ji and others have such ideas are just a fool!
At the same time, the actions of Tong Guan or Zhao Ji and others will inevitably arouse the common hatred of the enemy across the Xixia country, and will inevitably fight to the death with the Song Dynasty. At that time, the consequences will be unpredictable.
At the same time, it is not necessary to send troops to the battle between Shuofang and Hengshan. The battle between Hengshan is almost all mountainous battles, which is relatively beneficial to the infantry, while the Song army is mainly infantry. However, the land of Shuofang is almost grassland and flat ground, which is beneficial to the cavalry. If there is no complete solution, how can it be easily captured?
Liu Fa, Zong Shidao and others have been fighting for many years, how can they not see the key here? How can they not see that if they rashly send troops to the Shuofang at this time, it will put the Song army in an extremely unfavorable situation?
Only his son, Daguo Duke couldn't see it.
.
.
But at this time Tong Guan had already put Liu Fa in the hat of "deceiving the king". Liu Fa was already timid and dared not speak anymore.
If you are guilty of deceiving the king, you can be beheaded, your house is confiscated, and your family can be destroyed.
At this time, Tong Guan's central army tent,
Suddenly, he fell into a dead silence and no one spoke.
Tong Guan looked at everyone coldly, but didn't say anything.
"How big is it if a snake swallows an elephant?" After a long time, Li Sanjian was so angry that he spoke angrily.
"Li Jingluo, what do you mean?" Tong Guan was so angry that his face turned red when he heard this. He pointed at Li Sanjian and asked, "Who is a snake? Who is an elephant?"
"Whoever says to send troops, who is a snake?" Li Sanjian sneered slightly and said, "It has been eighty-seven years since the establishment of Xia. It is called an elephant, right? People are not satisfied with their hearts, and snakes swallow elephants, and things in the world are over."
When the generals in the tent heard this, the officials nodded repeatedly. Zhong Shidao, Liu Fa and others even praised him and looked at Li Sanjian with gratitude.
As expected, he was born as the top scholar. He was not satisfied with the human heart and swallowed elephants. He caught a mantislavia in the end. He said it very well, and he revealed the secret of heaven in one sentence.
But no one knew that Li Sanjian was transplanting flowers and citing or plagiarizing other people's words.
.
.
Liu Fa was even more grateful to Li Sanjian. Liu Fa and Li Sanjian had a little holiday back then, but at this time Li Sanjian actually spoke to help him and spoke for him. How could Liu Fa not be grateful to Li Sanjian?
"Okay, okay, you straight thief, you actually said that I am a snake?" Tong Guan was so angry that he cursed. Then he felt that he was a little out of control in front of his subordinates in the big tent. So he exhaled and said to Li Sanjian: "It seems that you, Li Jinglei, are also opposed to sending troops?"
Tong Guan and Li Sanjian had no too many ties or grudges before. In this battle of Hengshan, Li Sanjian did not personally lead the army to fight the Xia army, but Li Sanjian was in the rear and made every effort to plan on Qinfeng Road, raising food, pay, armour, etc., and transported it to the front line to support the Song army on the front line. Tong Guan still admired Li Sanjian quite much.
But at this time, Li Sanjian actually humiliated Tong Guan in public, and this made Tong Guan angry.
You thief actually came to the door? Tong Guan was thinking in his heart at this time, "When in the capital, Tong Guan might not be able to treat Li Sanjian, Tong Guan won the holy favor, and Li Sanjian was the minister of the Song Emperor Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji's favor to Li Sanjian was not inferior to Tong Guan.
But at this time it was in the northwest, among the army of the northwest. If you, Li Sanjian, have the ability, but if I kill you, it would be like a ants to kill. Just find an excuse to kill you, you can be executed by military law. Tong Guan secretly planned in his heart.
"That's right!" Li Sanjian replied after hearing this, "As General Liu said, although the Xia army was defeated, its main force was not damaged, but our army was at the end of its strength, and it was already exhausted. The veterans were tired! At the same time, what were fighting in the war? They were fighting money, grain, armour, etc., and the national strength! The battle in Hengshan took six years. Our army had already exhausted money and had already lost food, and the border was already unbearable. My Song Dynasty was already unbearable. Tong Well... The prime minister, the people of all parts of our Song Dynasty were already in poverty, and they had even reached the point of selling their wives and children. In some places, there was even a change of sons and eating. Tong Guogong, can we continue to fight like this? My Song Dynasty has reached this point at this point. Don't you know? Do you still have to continue to fight? How can you bear it?"
The people call Cai Jing the "Public Prime Minister", while the joke calls Tong Guan the "Mother-in-law". The pronunciation of the word "Han" by Li Sanjian is relatively vague and similar to that of the mother.
.
.
Li Sanjian was so angry that he almost reached the point of being furious. He raised his right hand and pointed at Tong Guan and asked angrily.
Li Sanjian was the chief official of Qin Feng Road for several years and implemented it
The new policy has finally accumulated some money and food, but after a big battle, it has already ended. The people are exhausted and the people are exhausted. The people on Qinfeng Road are already overwhelmed.
Li Sanjian didn't want to exploit the people, so he was in a difficult situation and was able to collect some food, pay, weapons, etc. to support the Battle of Hengshan. But at this time, Tong Guan and others had to continue fighting. How could this not make Li Sanjian extremely angry?
It was indeed Li Qingtian of the Song Dynasty, and it was indeed well-known. Zhong Shidao, Liu Fa, Ren Liang and others sighed in their hearts when they heard this.
Zhong Shidao and Liu Fa only analyzed from the military aspect that the battle could not continue, while Li Sanjian analyzed from the perspective of the entire Song Dynasty's national strength to refute Tong Guan.
Li Sanjian said nothing wrong. The Great Flower and Stone Gang, the Yanfu Palace was overhauled and the larger Gen Yue. The Song Dynasty court was greedy, plundering people's wealth, increasing taxes and taxes, bribing public officials and titles, and doing everything evil. This has already caused the whole world to be angry and resentful. The people who are unable to bear it have already raised their troops to rebel. At this time, Song Jiang and others on the Hebei Road rose up. Especially the people in the northwest Song Dynasty, wars and wars were caused by disasters, countless casualties, and life was difficult, the people were exhausted, and the people were exhausted.
At this time, Song fought against Xixia again, which was no different from seeking death and causing self-destruction.
I want to destroy Liao and swallow Xia, but it’s not that human hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, what is it?
"Xiaguan agrees with what Li Jingluo said." Ren Liang also spoke, "Xiaguan is at the end of his life, and the people cannot dig out any food. Xiaguan is the only one who is a transshipment officer, but he really cannot continue to do it."
"Okay, okay, you...you..." Tong Guan was so angry that his face turned red when he saw this. He pointed at Li Sanjian, Ren Liang, Zhong Shidao, Liu Fa and others and said, "You are unwilling to send troops, but you can't tolerate you. I am sending troops this time. Do you dare to resist the order?"
Tong Guan was speechless and could not argue with Li Sanjian. Speaking of Li Sanjian's eloquence, few people in the entire Song Dynasty were his opponents, so Tong Guan had to take out the big hat of "Shengyu or Imperial Imperial". Whoever dared to object was to resist the imperial edict and deceive the emperor, so Tong Guan could immediately take the punishment.
Anyway, Tong Guan made a fake imperial edict once or twice, but Emperor Zhao Ji of Song was very fond of merit, so Tong Guan’s words were not actually considered fake imperial edict.
"Where are you... the imperial decree? Take it out and let me wait and see?" Li Sanjian asked angrily when he heard this.
"Haha!" Tong Guan smiled without anger when he heard this, "Who are you? I have received the will of Your Majesty, do you need to check it out?"
"Li Jingluo..." Liu Fa saw that both sides were at odds, so he advised: "Stop talking, I will send troops under the order."
After glaring at Tong Guan for a moment, Li Sanjian sighed helplessly.
"It's so great." Tong Guan nodded with satisfaction after hearing this: "I ordered Liu Fa to send troops to Shuofang ten days later, and I personally led the troops to take him back. Ren Liang was rude and immediately dismissed his position as the Transportation Commissioner of the Capital. Qin Fenglu Strategic Pacification Commissioner Li Sanjian had planned food and money before, and he had learned the method. He ordered his position as the Transportation Commissioner of the Leader to provide food and money, weapons and other items to the army."
"Li Jingluo, you won't be ordered, right?" Tong Guan then smiled and asked Li Sanjian.
"You are obeying the order!" Li Sanjian wanted to kill this "dead eunuch" with one punch.
.
.
, but he was helpless to answer the order.
