Chapter 60 Primer two
On December 7th of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the winter in Taiyuan seemed so cold.
A large pot of charcoal fire was burning in the lobby in front of Xuanfu Division's Yamen, but it couldn't dispel the chill in Tong Guan's heart.
Tong Guan said, General Zhang Zhifu Wang, you wait to hold on to Taiyuan, and I will immediately report the military situation of the Jin people's invasion back to Kaifeng to the emperor.
Surprise and dissatisfaction appeared in Zhang Xiaochun's eyes, he said that the Jin army was about to approach the city, and you, the king of Guangyang County, supervised the army in the northwest and were in charge of the Yanshan army in Hebei.Taiyuan is the fortress of Hedong. If Taiyuan is lost, Hedong will be lost, and if Hedong is lost, Hebei will not be able to keep it. Then the situation will be over. How can you leave at this time, King Guangyang?
Tong Guan got angry and said that I was the envoy of Xuan Fu, and it was up to you Zhang Zhifu and General Wang Zhi to guard Taiyuan. I was in charge of the overall situation.
Zhang Xiaochun got angry, and mocked that if the county king left today, the prestige accumulated over the past twenty years might stay in Taiyuan City.
Tong Guan yelled angrily and said that it is not your concern, you just need to guard your Taiyuan City.
Zhang Xiaochun said that is of course, the city is alive and the people are there, the city is dead and the people are dead.
The atmosphere on both sides froze.Ma Kuo, who went to Taiyuan with Tong Guan, expressed a different opinion at this time, saying that it is really inappropriate to set up the Xuanfu Division in Taiyuan. At present, the Jin soldiers are invading from two routes, and all the lands invaded by the West Route Army are blocked by fortresses. The army in Hebei has been loose and the city has been barren for a long time. The king of the county should move the Xuanfu Division to Zhending, Zhongshan, Baozhou, where he will lead the army to stop the Jin army and build a barrier for Tokyo.If all the soldiers and horses in the world know that the county king is fighting against the Jin army in the most dangerous place, who will not die to contribute?
Tong Guan closed his eyes, stroked his graying beard, and said that Spurs Shi's suggestion is feasible, and we will discuss it later.
After leaving Taiyuan, Tong Guan habitually stuck to his original choice.Twenty years have passed, and he is no longer the middle-aged eunuch who can gamble his life and wealth on the battlefield. He believes that the current political situation in the court is more difficult than that of the Song and Jin Dynasties. He returned to the political center of Tokyo, surrounded by his boss Zhao Ji , will make him feel safe.
When the sea is flowing, you can see the true qualities of a hero. After all, he is just a eunuch who helps the emperor to do chores. Perhaps it was a mistake in the beginning that the empire gave him such an important military power to an eunuch.
But who can blame all this?Who should pay for all this?
Tong Guan chose to flee back to Tokyo, while the young diplomatic envoy who had been active in the Song-Jin alliance went to Zhending Mansion alone to recruit soldiers.From a diplomatic envoy to an anti-gold general, he had to let the Jurchens know that the title of "Li Ma Li" (a man good at archery) presented to him by Aguda was genuine. courage.
And the road that Tong Guan ran to ruined everything about him and the empire.
During the debate that day, Wang Ting did not speak. He just felt extremely lost and sad. When he was a low-level general in the Northwest Army, how much he worshiped this man who was not a man!What makes a hero slowly become a rat, time or power?
He stood on the Taiyuan City Tower and watched Tong, Ma and others leave, stroked the sword in his hand, and whispered something.
The city is alive and the people are alive, but the city is dead and the people are dead.
