Chapter 15 Chapter Fifteen
Song Guo is indeed determined to win You Yan.Because the Song Dynasty won the world, the congenital deficiencies, the Song Dynasty is not comparable to the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Han and Tang Dynasties inherited the territories of the Qin, Sui and Sui Dynasties, and the northern and western regions are all in their hands. Before the Song Dynasty won the world, the Tang Dynasty had perished for more than a hundred years, and the princes of the Central Plains fought in chaos. , By the time the Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains, the Western Regions and the North had been controlled and ruled by foreigners for many years, and they had already established a solid foundation locally.
Occupying the north is the Liao Empire, which owns the strategically important Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. It is condescending and can ride south at any time to ride horses to the Central Plains.However, the Northwest still had hope of recovering. The problem is that the rulers of the Liao Empire were not short-sighted and mediocre. They knew that once the Song Dynasty won the Western Regions, it would be like a tiger with wings added, and then it would be inevitable to attack Youyan.
And once the Liao Kingdom loses the land of Youyan, it is not only a matter of losing a large area of territory, but also the initiative of war and peace will be in the hands of the Song people. Once a monarch with ambitions in the four directions appears in the Song Kingdom, the army can go out of Xiongguan at any time , defeated them, and even ended up like the Huns and Turks, being driven to the west by the Han people.Therefore, in order to keep Youyan, we must first protect the Western Regions, so as to contain the Song State, and we cannot devote all our efforts to the Northern Expedition.
Song Guo also saw this very clearly, so at the beginning of the founding of the country, it made a policy of unifying the world first from the south to the north.Zhao Kuangyin built a pile treasury to store military resources, and only said that one day he would use money to redeem Youyan to confuse the northern kingdom. By the time of Zhao Guangyi, the southern kingdom had been completely pacified, and the occasional rebellion could no longer shake the foundation of the Song kingdom. The Song Kingdom had been gathered together for ten years, with strong troops and horses, and the piles of money and food in the closed piles were piled up like mountains, which was enough to support a great war to mobilize the whole country.
Therefore, when Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he had already taken over the preparations for the emperor's brother, and continued to prepare for the Northern Expedition in all aspects, setting up granaries and armories along the northern route, and training the army as soon as possible. What he lacks now is only a machine, a right opportunity.
Now, it seems the opportunity has come.
Jurchen and Shi Wei sent secret envoys to proclaim their vassals to the Song State, and begged the Song State to send troops to crusade against the Liao State.
Jurchen and Shiwei are vassals of the Liao Kingdom. They turned their backs to the Song Dynasty, which was a big event for the Song Dynasty. You must know that the current vassal states of the Song Dynasty are far less than that of the Liao Kingdom. Now there are foreigners coming from the Liao Kingdom. The light of the surrender of the four barbarians.Of course Zhao Guangyi was happy, but there was a price for this kind of obedience, that is, Song State would send troops to crusade against Liao State to break the siege between Jurchen and Shiwei. For this reason, Zhao Guangyi immediately summoned his confidants to discuss this matter.
At this time, the Song Dynasty court had been completely replaced by Zhao Guangyi's people after a major purge. The top pillars of the army such as Pan Mei and Cao Bin were now at home with no jobs to support their lives.As for civil servants, they took on a completely new look. Except for a sloppy Zhang Ji, almost all of them were old people from Zhao Guangyi's hidden residence in Kaifeng Mansion, such as Cheng Yu, Jia Yan, Song Qi and others.
Although the current civil and military officials are all Zhao Guangyi's confidantes, the group of officials still have different opinions and are deadlocked on whether to conquer Liao, how large-scale war to launch, and what strategic goals to achieve.Regarding the war that occurred in the northeast of the Liao Kingdom, the Korean, Chinese, and military forces all believed that it should be used, but they had different opinions on how to help them, whether to send troops, and what purpose to achieve.
Luo Kedi is currently ranked first in the ranks of military generals. Although Privy Councilor Cao Bin is still in office, he has excused himself from serious illness and is at home. He only has an empty title. Luo Kedi is currently the number one person who holds real power in the army.This is the first battle he has encountered after taking over the military power. The opponent is the powerful Liao Kingdom. Luo Ke's enemy is not without caution. I think that the Liao Kingdom is now the well-deserved king of the north, a fierce tiger dominating the grassland. Compared with it, all the tribes in the north are all wolves. Fighting a tiger with a wolf is like hitting a stone with an egg, but if a pack of wolves fight a tiger, then Although the tiger is ferocious, it can't take care of each other from head to tail, and the result is bound to hurt both sides.
Therefore, the rebellion between Jurchen and Shiwei is an opportunity for our country of Song, and we should not let it go.In my opinion, the power of Jurchen and Shiwei is not enough to shake the foundation of the Liao Dynasty. If we want to take advantage of this opportunity, we can give Jurchen and Shiwei financial support to help them survive.At the same time, we can imitate the Song Dynasty's strategy of attacking Xixia and Liao Kingdom to send troops to contain them, and dispatch a group of troops to the northern expedition to contain their main force, making them unintentional to fight on both sides, and quickly end the crusade against Jurchen and Shiwei. "
Hearing this, Zhao Guangyi said with some displeasure: "Does Luo Qing not know what I mean? What good will this do for Song?"
"Of course there are benefits."
Luo Kedi had thought clearly, and said eloquently: "As far as I know, the Liao Dynasty oppressed and exploited its vassals very severely, and all the vassal forces were angry and dared not speak out. To be strong will surely inspire other grassland tribes. The pack of wolves will have different ideas, and they will be in trouble with the Liao Kingdom everywhere. The Liao Kingdom will have to take care of one thing and lose another, and the national power will inevitably weaken. At the same time, tigers and wolves are tigers and wolves after all, neither tigers nor wolves are good, they can only be used, not entrusted as confidantes, please think twice about this point."
Zhao Guangyi became a little anxious when he heard it, or according to Luo Kedi's idea, to support and cultivate these vassals who have a second heart for the Liao Kingdom, they have to be well-measured. To control them, it may take ten or twenty years for this step alone to achieve results.
As for the Liao Kingdom, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, the current Liao Kingdom is far from being skinny. Now the Liao Kingdom has few national doubts, orphans and widows. If you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, you will have to wait until ten or twenty Years later, when the young emperor was already a mature man, could he still be so easy to deal with?The most important thing is..., at that time, who will take the credit for recovering Yanyun?The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade. Although the person who made contributions was either his own son or his own grandson, it would not be as pleasant as the glory bestowed upon himself.This strategy is not feasible.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Guangyi saw Uncle Li Jilong, his color turned soft again, and he hurriedly asked, "Tyranny, what do you think?"
Li Jilong, courtesy name Batu, was born in Shangdang, and his father was Li Chuyun, a famous founding general of the Song Dynasty.Li Jilong's younger sister was married to Zhao Guangyi through Zhao Kuangyin's matchmaking, and she is the current Empress Li. Because Li Jilong's father, Li Chuyun, and Zhao Kuangyin's elder brother, Murong Yanjun, were at odds, so although Li Jilong was full of strategies, he was always suppressed by his father. .
Such a person will naturally not be Zhao Kuangyin's best friend. After Zhao Guangyi came to power, he kept saying that everything must follow the old system of the former emperor, so he didn't make any big moves at that time. It was not until this time that Li Jilong was promoted by taking the opportunity to cleanse the old officials of the former court. , now Li Jilong is the guard of the Ma Jundu Yuhou, and he is also a powerful figure in the army.
Li Jilong thought for a moment, then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I believe that today's Liao Empire is far from being comparable to the tribal alliances of the Xiongnu and Turks in the past. Back in the Han and Tang dynasties, it took a lot of time to deal with big tribes like the Xiongnu and Turks. Now that Song Dynasty is facing a powerful enemy, we must not be greedy for merit and act rashly. I think that Master Luo's argument is very reasonable."
When Zhao Guangyi heard that Uncle Guo also said the same thing, he couldn't help being disappointed. There is a general in the general class, but Cui Han, the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace.Cui Han, courtesy name Zhongwen, was born in Jingzhaowannian.He has little ambition and is graceful. He once conquered Huainan from Zhou Shizong, Pingshouchun, and took Guannan to make up for the army.At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, he moved to the deputy commander of Yu Mazhi, and later appointed the governor of Duanzhou.He is a veteran of the former court. Because he has been working in the local government for the past few years, he has not been affected by the purge. The military generals in the court and China have promoted too many newcomers. There must be a few veterans in the lineup. Cui Han is quite good at leading troops. At one hand, Zhao Guangyi transferred him back to Beijing to serve as Marquis of Yu, the capital in front of the palace, which is regarded as a position in a key department.
Cui Han saw that Cao Bin, Pan Mei and other veterans stood aside one by one, with an attitude of prudence and self-protection, he was very careful in dealing with others, and paid special attention to observing Shang's wishes. After thinking about it for a while, he played in tune with him and said: "My lord, I think that what you should take advantage of is the momentum; what you can't lose is the time. Taking advantage of this broken bamboo momentum, it is very easy to get it.
Now that Jurchen and Shi Wei abandoned Liao to vote, they are the vassals of the Song Dynasty, and the Liao people invaded our vassals, and our dynasty was famous as a teacher, which is the power.Jurchen and Shiwei live in the east and north of Liao. With them holding back the Liao Dynasty, our Song State took advantage of the opportunity to send troops, and the Liao State would have to suffer from the enemy, and it would be difficult to support it.Therefore, I thought that we should take advantage of this good opportunity to make a large-scale northern expedition to recover Youyan. This opportunity must not be missed, and the loss will never come again. "
When Zhao Guangyi heard that Longyan was very happy, he turned his head and asked all the civil servants again.Although Zhang Ji's character is poor, he does have real talent, and he not only understands the past and the present, but also manages civil affairs well. He is also not a layman in military affairs. .After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that with the powerful strength of the Song Dynasty at this time, and the Liao Dynasty had internal troubles, if the preparations were sufficient and the command was proper, the Northern Expedition might not be impossible, so he agreed.
However, the opinions of Jia Qi, Song Yan, Cheng Yu and others are not unified. They are all people who sincerely assist Zhao Guangyi, and they are all people with real talents. The point is that there is more than enough to be successful and not enough to be aggressive. The three of them have thought for a long time, and they always feel that sending troops to the Northern Expedition is a bit risky. , the two countries have never directly declared war on each other.
Victory is the icing on the cake for the sage, once it fails, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?With this in mind, the opinions expressed by the three are relatively conservative.Zhao Guangyi still attached great importance to their opinions, seeing that they were also a little hesitant, his eagerness faded a bit.
After two days of discussion, there was still no result. The people Wang Ke sent back from the Liao Dynasty sent the secret letter to Zhao Guangyi's case.It goes without saying that Empress Dowager Xiao must regard it as a rare commodity to live in. Once the interior is calmed down and the soldiers and horses are strong, she will sacrifice the magic weapon of Princess Yongqing and march south.
Wang Kexin also said in the letter that this matter still needs to be inquired carefully, and it is not yet very sure, but... how can such a matter wait for him to find out the truth?It is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not, combined with the current stalemate of war or peace with Liao, because of this letter, everything will be resolved.
The Northern Expedition was not only the long-cherished wish of his eldest brother Zhao Kuangyin, but also his long-cherished wish, because the success of the Northern Expedition represented supreme glory, what more could the emperor ask for?Isn't it a brilliant achievement?
And for him, there is another purpose, he needs this unrivaled achievement to cover up his mistakes.Following the abduction and bizarre deaths of the Empress Song, mother and son, all kinds of rumors about the late emperor's death began to spread again and were brought up again.Don't look at these as invisible forces, but that kind of invisible pressure can also make people restless, especially the name behind them.
If he can get You Yan back, then he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.He is the second emperor of the Song Dynasty, and his posthumous title must be Taizong in the future. His fate will be the same as that of Tang Taizong. No matter how many dirty things he does, he can be praised as a great talent. The eternal Mingjun.
Because Confucians have always advocated the four dimensions of the country, propriety, righteousness, honesty and shame.The degree of guarding the country is to decorate the four dimensions, if the four dimensions are not expanded, the country will perish.If a king has stains that cannot be washed away, and his virtues are greatly lacking, but he can make great achievements in the world, and the world is peaceful and peaceful under his rule, how should he explain it to the world?
Therefore, a hero must be equated with a saint, and those who are meritorious must be virtuous. Even if he really has some bad deeds, he can use a clever pen to avoid the serious and ignore the minor, and pretend to be the past.
And now, he has a third reason: Yongqing!
It is better to strike first, and to suffer later!
Zhao Guangyi jumped up against the case, and said sharply: "Gu Ruoli, the important ministers of Xuanwen and Wu should go to the Palace of Imperial Instruments to wait immediately!"
Seeing his frightening expression, Gu Duzhi didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly agreed, and hurriedly backed out.
Zhao Guangyi held the case with both hands, and glanced at the secret letter spread flat on the desk, his eyes shone with a gleam of light: "Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition must be done immediately! Take advantage of your illness and kill you, kill three birds with one stone, and end it together! "
The officials were summoned to meet, and found that the Holy Majesty, whose attitude had been vacillating, suddenly became extremely determined. He no longer asked the officials whether they should go to the Northern Expedition, but ordered the civil and military officials to immediately draw up a detailed plan for the Northern Expedition, and it will be June soon. Now, the Northern Expedition is at the right time, and the time is not waiting for us, so we can't delay it for half a day. With Zhao Guangyi's edict, the huge war machine of the entire Song Dynasty began to move. Those who prepared food, ordnance, and military pay, assembled and dispatched troops, mobilized migrant workers from prefectures and counties, and recruited horses and vehicles. Idle, biting the words to come up with a crusade against the Liao State, the content is nothing more than to first count the historical ownership of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures, and then talk about how the Han people in the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures are in dire straits , Let’s talk about the bad deeds of the tribes of the Liao Kingdom over the years of raiding the grasslands and looting the border, and finally mention the Jurchen and Shiwei who came to cast thousands of miles, and I pilgrimage to the emperor’s benevolence and righteousness. Under the urging of Zhao Guangyi, with the full cooperation of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and the preliminary preparations for the Northern Expedition that had been started for so many years, it took only one month to complete all the preparations. Zhao Guangyi personally led the expedition and led the generals Hundreds of members, 300,000 soldiers, soldiers and warriors headed northward, heading straight for the Liao Kingdom. Zhao Guangyi made up his mind, so he summoned all his ministers to discuss it. The sixteen prefectures of Youyun are geographically located.Youzhou is in the middle, and it is the most dangerous place. His idea is to move his army to the north and take Youzhou directly. If he captures this point, he can expand to the two wings, connect with Jurchen in the east, and connect with Shiwei through Jurchen to form a whole world. The jaws of Daliao. The officials of the Liao Dynasty were startled when they learned that the Song State was launching a large-scale military campaign to the north. The news spread to the palace in a hurry, and Xiao Chuo was furious when he heard the news. She immediately summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. Hundreds of civil and military officials discussed in the palace for half a day, and one after another edicts to levy money, food, soldiers and horses flew out of Shangjing. Xiao Chuo ordered Han Yu, Yelu Shanbu, and Yeluyu to send troops to Gu'an and Zhuozhou, and ordered Yelu Xida, king of the Northern Academy, and Saha, king of Yishi, to lead troops to guard Yandi. The Liao Han soldiers stationed in Youzhou had several Shenwu, Konghe, Yulin, Xiaowu and other armies dispatched under the command of the king of the North Courtyard; there were also Khitan, Jiunv, Xi, and the northern and southern Pishi clan tent armies all listened to them.At the same time, troops were mobilized non-stop from Tokyo (Liaoyang Prefecture) and Zhongjing (Dading Prefecture), and the total strength is expected to reach 250,000. With such an arrangement in the military, a battle of words is also to be fought. The literati of the Liao State worked hard and concocted a document to crusade against the Song State. Also, let’s start with the history. There was no Song State yet, and Jin Emperor Shi Jingtang cut the "Youyun Sixteen Prefectures" from Khitan. Legally and in fact, this land had already become Khitan territory, and Zhou and Song had not yet been established at this time.Whether it was Zhou Shizong's Northern Expedition or Zhao Guangyi's Northern Expedition, they were actually aggression against Khitan. The proclamation also said that at the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the country was small and weak, so they made good friends with Khitan. In the seventh year of Kaibao, they sent envoys to Liao and signed a peace treaty with Liao. The two countries are friendly and non-aggressive. Invasion, back-and-forth, greedy for profit, losing the demeanor of a great country... Zhao Guangyi personally led a large army into the Liao Kingdom, and after reading this call-to-action from the Liao people, he couldn't see the mention of Yongqing in the whole article, and he felt at ease.He had already made the worst plan, planning that once the Liao Kingdom sacrificed Princess Yongqing's move, he would forcibly blame the Liao people for the crime of empress Song, mother and son being taken into captivity. Princess Yongqing was trapped by the enemy, saying Naturally, I can't help myself. This is the territory of the Liao Kingdom. It is impossible for the soldiers and horses under his command to have any contact with the Liao people except on the battlefield. He can completely control the situation. Now that the Liao people don't mention Yongqing, he naturally doesn't He would find it boring, just sneered, discarded the call to action on the ground, drew his sword to the north, and swung his army to charge forward...
"Go, tie the rope to the tree." Little Yang Jia handed the end of the rope to the monkey. The monkey took the rope, looked around ghostly, jumped up the tree, and quickly tied the rope according to Yang Jia's gestures.Yang Jia clapped her hands and laughed, and the other end was tied up, with a board attached to the rope, and a swing was ready.Yang Jia sat on the board, grabbed the rope with both hands, and excitedly said to the maid: "Quick, hurry up, push me, go higher." "Yang Jia, did you forget about the thing about falling ass last time?" Yang Shan led a little white dog, came over like a little adult, and reprimanded his younger brother seriously: "If you fall badly again, let's see who wipes your nose, go, go play something else." Yang Jia got down from the swing in a daze, Yang Shan's eyes flashed, she suddenly came behind him, sat down on the swing, and laughed loudly: "It's mine, the swing is mine, hahahaha..." "You...bullying people!" Yang Jia yelled angrily, Yang Shan shook her head and smiled angrily at him: "I'm not convinced, you dog, drive him away." "Wow! Bark!" The little dog barked aggressively. Although the dog was not big, it grinned fiercely. Yang Jia turned around and ran away. It’s so small, it’s so useless, even puppies are scared, hahahaha..." She was only complacent for a moment, and then she heard her eldest sister Yang Xue call out: "Xiao Jia, why are you taking Xiao Bai?" Seeing Yang Jia running back triumphantly, the puppy jumped up and barked again, and then barked twice, Yang Jia pointed and shouted: "Bite it!" "Aw~~" a wolf howled, and a giant wolf with a snow-white body and a huge figure jumped out from behind Yang Jia. Its ears were as sharp as knives, its teeth were white and sharp, and its two fierce eyes emitted a faint light. The puppy whimpered and lay down on the ground, not even daring to move. Yang Jia burst into laughter when she saw it, and she was smug. Yang Shan, who loved her puppy, jumped off the swing and ran to his side. With a huff in his mouth, he flicked his finger hard on his head. "Ouch!" Yang Jia covered her head and cried tearfully, "Eldest Sister, Eldest Sister, Second Sister hit me..." Yang Xue walked out of the flowers beside her. Yang Xue has turned into a young girl with almond eyes and peach cheeks, skin like Woxue, exactly like her mother Luo Donger. He wears a pheasant-feather white phoenix helmet on his head, a Roman-style waist knife with a gold mouth and gems inlaid on Xiaoman's waist, and a small bow made of body on his shoulder and back, ho!Although she is not yet ten years old, she already has the charm of a little beauty. "Xiao Shan, you are bullying your younger brother again!" The eldest sister’s head is the eldest sister’s head. Yang Xue glared at Yang Shan, then patted Yang Jia’s head and coaxed him: “Be good, be good, you are a man, don’t make me laugh. Daddy said, wait until you are two years older.” , I will send you to Lingjiu Peak in Tianshan Mountain to learn martial arts with Master Jingyin for a few years, and when you have great skills, you will bounce back no matter how many times Second Sister plays you." Yang Jia burst into laughter when she heard that, stretched out her fingers and began to count: "One, two, three..." Yang Shan rolled her eyes and snorted, "If you dare to hit me, I'll tell auntie, auntie said, men are not allowed to hit women." Yang Xue glared at her and said, "Are you allowed to bully my younger brother? Let's go, Erniang is going hunting, you come with me and practice riding and shooting." "I don't want it." Yang Shan turned around and ran away: "I just remembered that I haven't finished writing the calligraphy that my mother asked me to practice. I'm going to write. Eldest sister, you can go by yourself." Yang Shan said, and ran away in a hurry. Not far away, on the pavilion on the rockery piled up with mounds, Yang Hao watched his sons and daughters fight with a smile, and listened to Xiao Yan's report: "Song Xie, the governor of the country, has been transferred back to Bianliang from Fuzhou. On the expedition, the Song court dispatched another commander, Kong Shouzheng, to garrison Hengshan, and brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to supplement the strength of the two prefectures of Yunlin Prefecture. At the same time... Longyou Shangboqian has sent people to negotiate with Yeluohe and Luodan The two sides agreed to use Huining Pass and Baishi Mountain as the line, and each side would occupy the east and west to cease fighting, so Tong Yu, Ba Sa, Di Haijing and others were reduced to return, and the troops were sent to Xiao Pass to strengthen the offensive against our Xiao Pass defenders." Yang Hao smiled slightly: "This ending must be the result of Song Ting coming forward to mediate. The Lin Mansion has increased troops and is waiting for it. Xiao Guan urged Shang Boqian to step up the offensive. Zhao Guangyi is afraid that I will hold him back, hehehe, Let him go, we will have a good fight with Shang Boqian, so that the old man can go north with peace of mind, but... if the fight is overdone, it will be purely accidental..."
The officials were summoned to meet, and found that the Holy Majesty, whose attitude had been vacillating, suddenly became extremely determined. He no longer asked the officials whether they should go to the Northern Expedition, but ordered the civil and military officials to immediately draw up a detailed plan for the Northern Expedition, and it will be June soon.
