Chapter 12 Precarious
"Now, prick your ears for me to listen. The battle between Song and Liao is about to begin. I have long been salivating about the title of General Zhengbei. Before the war begins, I don't expect you to give me much help.
I just hope you can ensure the safety of the country, especially to ensure that Tokyo is as stable as Mount Tai.¥f
Do you think I made a huge sand table to please the prince?
This is the essence of military strategist summed up by our ten-year war in the 15th Route Army in western Beijing. The deduction on the sand table cannot be won, and most of the wars in reality cannot be won.
Don’t think that the wooden men in your hands are dolls. Let me tell you that on the sand table, they are living soldiers and the embodiment of real war.
I know you hate me very much now, it doesn't matter, so let's use this ruthlessness in the war. Let me tell you, Yun Zheng broke the city and slaughtered the city for three days. Can the people of Tokyo survive? Will your wives and concubines survive?
Being humiliated depends on your performance on the sand table.
Defeat me, I kowtow and apologize!”
Yun Zheng's words were very arrogant, very unreasonable, and very rough.
Pang Ji's eyes were shining with brilliance. He said these words to these great Song martial heroes in the Golden Palace, but he did not plan to live a life at all.
Offending everyone for an insignificant thing is not something that Yun Zheng, a smart man, can do.
At this moment, Pang Ji discovered for the first time that Yun Zheng had such a violent side.
Chen Lin opened her mouth wide, and there was still some anger in her heart. With Yun Zheng's roar, all of them were gone. The big thing that has reached such an uncontrollable level now was something he had never expected.
The queen was very happy. She sat behind the bead curtain with her mouth curled upside down. It is said that if the heaven wants to make her die, she will make her crazy first. Even if Yun Zheng is powerful, she will continue to be crazy like this. The queen doesn't think he can do anything good.
The end.
The emperor was not surprised. Since he discovered that he had become a living dead, nothing in the world could shock him.
Because he couldn't move or spoke, he had thought about many things over the years and thought about every important official in the Political Affairs Hall.
Among them, I put the most effort into Yun Zheng.
He felt Yun Zheng's irritability. Such irritability actually makes no sense. He became a second-rank official in the Song Dynasty under the age of 30, and Ronglu even reached the respectful position of Prince Taibao. This is basically
There is really no reason for an official to do such irrational things at this time at this time.
Unless, unless he really wants to leave? He really wants to be a pirate at sea...
A long time ago, Yun Zheng told his plan, asking the royal family to ask for an island, and preparing to move the whole family to live a savage life.
Zhao Zhen was unwilling to believe these words. He believed that Yun Zheng was expressing his opinion to him, saying that he would never threaten the imperial power of Zhao Song, which was even a way to protect himself. So Zhao Zhen followed suit.
He went there, and at that time he just didn't allow Yun Zheng to go overseas at the right time. Zhao Zhen promised to be in love with the king, and it was still feasible for his friendship.
But Yun Zheng's actions today are really a bit out of nothing. He seems to be impatient to fight those stupid nobles, and seems to be impatient to do things according to the inherent rules of the court.
In other words, he seemed a little bored with the entire Song Dynasty.
Zou Tong confirmed the emperor's meaning and said, "Then let's start teaching!"
The emperor did not say anything about fighting. He only said that he started teaching, which means that he did not agree with Yun Zheng's current practice and offended everyone without any benefit, whether it was for the Yun family or the Song Dynasty.
No one was willing to mess with Yun Zheng in anger. Hou Zhitan, Lin Guang and others just snorted and stepped aside. They could not like Yun Zheng, but no one was willing to make a mortal enemy with him.
Yun Zheng led the prince to the "Imperial Song Dynasty World View" in the hall, pointing to the largest map of the Emperor Song Dynasty in the world and telling Zhao Xu.
"Your Highness, today's coursework is very important. You must listen carefully. If you don't understand for the time being, you must remember it well."
Zhao Xu bowed and said, "Students listen carefully."
Seeing that Sima Guang, who had arrived at some point, had already picked up his pen and prepared to record it, Yun Zheng took a long breath and said, "First of all, you have to remember that the Golden Bowl of the Song Dynasty is incomplete."
Zhao Xu raised his head and said hatefully: "It's all the Emperor Shi Jingtang..."
Yun Zheng interrupted him and said, "No one complains! Shi Jingtang's stinking has been his business for all ages, and it is our business for Yan Yun to not take it back.
As long as your own strength is strong enough, even if Shi Jingtang devotes all the land of the Northern Han Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom, you can still take it back. It is precisely because we cannot take Yan Yun back now that we hate Shi Jingtang so much!
As a general, you have to remember one thing: strength is strength. I wish I could not let the Liao Kingdom lose a hair. Therefore, a powerful general will not hate anyone, because in his eyes, those people are just in the tomb.
It’s just a dry bone. Mobilizing your emotions to face these people will only make you more mental burden and will not be of any benefit to you in defeating the enemy.”
Zhao Xu looked at the Song generals in the palace and nodded thoughtfully. No wonder Taibao scolded those people mercilessly, because Taibao didn't care about these people at all.
"In the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo, Emperor Taizong destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, and in order to regain the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, he attacked Liao in large numbers, but was defeated in the Battle of Gaoliang River.
In the third year of Yongxi, the Song army was defeated again in the battle of Qiguan and Shuozhou. From then on, Taizong and his ministers gradually changed from attack to defense against Liao, and appeared: if you come, you should control it, and if you go, you should not chase it out.
situation.
Since there is no hope of regaining the former land of Youyun, the most important Great Wall defense line for the Song Dynasty to defend against the Liao Dynasty was lost. The northern gateway completely opened the Khitan Iron Cavalry hole, and appeared: south of Yanji, thousands of miles of Pyongyang, the obstruction of unknown mountains and rivers, the common people and Han people
The situation.
Moreover, the North China Plain was conducive to the galloping of the Liao cavalry in military terms, but put the Song army, which was mainly infantry, at a disadvantage. These unfavorable factors have objectively put Kaifeng, the capital, objectively falling into a situation of disarray and a dilemma in defense."
Yun Zheng said this and looked at the nobles and sighed: "You may think what I said just now is very rude, but I don't know how high the anger in my heart just now is!
When my 50,000 army arrived on the bank of the Yellow River and across the river from Tokyo City, it means that the land north of Tokyo has fallen and Tokyo has become the forefront of the war.
In this situation, you are so arrogant that you want to fight to the decisive battle with me in Tokyo! Do you know that when the 50,000 army appeared in Tokyo's vision, you actually lost."
Hou Zhitan said angrily: "It is impossible. The northern defense line is dominated by our Song Dynasty. How can we allow the Liao cavalry to go south?"
Yun Zheng ignored Hou Zhitan and continued: "In the third year of Qingli, Fu Bi, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, said in his letter: Now there is no danger in the capital. The so-called enemy from all sides is a battlefield since ancient times. If there are thieves in each direction,
The court was unable to control it and gradually forced the capital. I didn't know what to do. Whenever I thought about this, I fought in a cold way.
I agree with Fu Bi's words very much, which is the biggest reason why I don't like Tokyo, because I feel frightened every day as long as I live in the city.
Our Tokyo city has always been known as the eight deserts and all countries are connected.
The Song Dynasty was able to establish its capital in Kaifeng, which was indeed incomparable to the transportation advantages of ancient Chang'an and Luoyang at that time. It was inseparable from the convenient canal transport of rivers such as the Bian River and the abundant water resources brought by the Yellow River.
The Bian River, Cai River, Jinshui River, Wuzhang River and other rivers run across the city of Tokyo, and continuously transport materials from all over the country, especially the southeast, to Kyoto, thus making Kaifeng in a favorable position as the "pivot of the world".
There are advantages and disadvantages. When Wang Ben broke the water and flooded Daliang, he destroyed the Wei Kingdom. Similarly, when the Yellow River is abundant in summer and autumn, he would dig the Yellow River and let the Yellow River flow back to Tokyo.
Tokyo City is covered by tall walls, and the flood will not collapse Tokyo City, but it will definitely make Tokyo's all sides a Zeguo.
At this point, I could firmly surround Tokyo City without any effort.
General Lin just said that he would confront me across the river. The bank of the Yellow River is high in the north and low in the south. Why should you confront me? As long as I dig the Yellow River, you will only become fish and turtles."
Pang Ji said, "Mr. Yun, it is not only you and Fu Bi who see the disadvantages of Tokyo. As early as the fourth year of Qingli, Han Qi, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, and Fan Zhongyan, the four strategies of the government affairs officer: those who repaired the capital's outer city,
The Later Tang Dynasty had no preparations, and the Khitans attacked Luoyang in one fell swoop; the Shijin was not prepared, and the Khitans attacked the capital in one fell swoop... The capital was calm but unprepared, and once the army was promoted, we must go deep into the plan. I said that the capital was not prepared, and I would promote Heshuo.
Heavy troops, fight with them.
If he wins the battle, he will be even more careless and will go straight to the Yuan Dynasty. Zhang is invading the Que. At that time, he will send an envoy to invite me to use the river as the boundary. How can I defend it? The capital cannot be unprepared. If the capital is firm, it is necessary to maintain it.
After that, please do not fight against Heshuo's soldiers. If they cannot fight, there will be no energy to take advantage of the victory.
If you want to plan deeply, if you have a strong city in front and a heavy army in the back, you will definitely be disheartened and retreat. If you retreat without being tidy, you can invite and attack it. Therefore, those who build capital cities are not just to defend the enemy, but to be truly planning to attack the deep-rooted city.
...If you have been in the city for about two years now, the people will make great profits without any effort, so you must make plans early.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Therefore, on the 11th day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Jiayou, the imperial court built the new and old cities in Beijing, and gave soldiers money to the new city. The four walls of the new city outside the new city were opened fifty steps wide, and the lower part was closed forty steps.
If the earth veins are one or five feet deep and the earth's veins are not as deep as the spring.
He also gave a special supervisor to manufacture the ordnance office to purchase wood to repair the four imperial gates and the gates of the capital city, and sealed the enemy's horse faces. No wonder the money in the Song Dynasty was always insufficient for the years.
A huge city like a monster stands like a place where he shouldn't have stood. It's wrong at the root. Can you still expect these things to protect the millions in the city?" (To be continued
