Chapter 245 Liaodong Road
The fragrance of tea mixed with the smell of someone's feet floating in Mr. Murong's room.
The indoor conversation continued, and Wu Haogu was still selling his "Suzhou Project", talking endlessly about the benefits of separating the sharp-toned horn of the Liao Dynasty Peninsula.
In addition to occupying this sea trade, it is not short of money, Wu Haogu also proposed another benefit to Liaodong, which is a separate "all the way"!
If you attack Liao from the sea and land, you will inevitably establish a new "Liaodong Road". It is impossible to let "Yanshan Road" take care of "Liaodong Road". Moreover, this "Liaodong Road" is located across the sea from the Song Dynasty. The degree of freedom must be very high, and there can be a large number of state army governors below.
In other words, as long as you hold the "Liaodong Road" in your hands, you can seal out a bunch of generals like the Zhe family in the Prefecture.
Moreover, Liaodong is also rich, with fertile land and rich products. It is also a major maritime trade center. As long as you manage it well, you will not be too short of money.
With money and land and property, you can naturally arrange more "private military states" like prefectures and prefectures, and you can afford it.
At that time, there will be one family in the Ma family, one in the Murong family, one in the Ximen family... and other families can also arrange them. In short, each family will have a better life in the future.
In addition, another advantage is that it has a small target in Liaodong, which is not as eye-catching as holding Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures.
If Yan Yun is to be moved, the Khitans will definitely fight to the death. Moreover, the situation of the Yan family is too complicated. Now the Ma family has had some contact with the Song Dynasty, and the Zhao family and the Liu family cannot guess the intentions. As for the Han family, the third in the Great Liao Dynasty, the Yutian Han family... even if they can be brought over, the price they will pay is probably stunning.
The most important thing is that the strength of the Murong family, Ximen family, and even the Ma family in Yiwulushan is very poor compared to that of the Han and Zhao families. Even if Yanyun can be granted the title of Jiedu, it is still from the Han, Zhao and Liu families. The Ma family may be able to share the benefits, but it is impossible for a retainer-level tyrant like Murong and Ximen to be involved.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty court was unlikely to tolerate the story of the vassal states of Yuyang, Yuyang, which appeared in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Will the Emperor of the Zhao family forget it?
"Mr. Wangyou," Wu Haogu said with great enthusiasm, shaking his head, almost shaking his feather fan, "It seems that the chaos in the Liao Kingdom will start from the Jurchens and the Bohai Sea! Because the Han tribes of the Liao Kingdom actually benefited from the Khitan, the Han family in Yutian compared the royal family, and the Dukes and Marquis of the Zhao family in Zhenzhou for generations, such as the Ma and Liu tribes, who are also the gates of the great nobles. What is the purpose of rebellion against Liao?
As for the Bu Bu clan, although they are brave, they are too closed. As long as the iron ban is not broken, it will be difficult for the people of Bu Bu to truly rise on the grassland. Moreover, the Bu Bu rebellion has been six or seven years, and countless people have died on the grassland. The Mogus tribe was greatly damaged and it is impossible to have the strength to sweep the Liao Dynasty.
In a certain way, only the right surname of the Bohai family of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe may rise up. Once they raise an army, Tokyo Road will inevitably be in chaos and Liaoyang may change its ownership. If Liaoyang loses, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Ningzhou, Baozhou, Xuanzhou, Muzhou, Dingzhou and other places will be isolated from the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom. It is reasonable for our Song Dynasty to cross the sea to appease it, and it may not necessarily lead to a break in the Liao and Song dynasties..."
For Wu Haogu, the Northern Expedition to Yanyun was actually very difficult to be sure of.
If Emperor Zhezong and Zhang Dun came to do it, the successful attack on Liao would probably be quite big. Zhezong could not have made any Huashigang, and Zhang Dun would not play "Fengheng Yu Da" and spent all the money he had finally plundered. If he was determined to rectify Hebei, accumulate strength, and wait for the Liao Kingdom to intensify chaos before sending troops, how could he not succeed?
But the decision-making power for this matter is not in Wu Haogu, but in the King of Hell!
Emperor Zhezong had a few days to live. Even if Zhang Dun was not unlucky at that time, he would never be able to survive until the Xuanhe Northern Expedition.
Therefore, most people from Xuanhe Northern Expedition would be played by Song Huizong, Tong Guan, and Cai Jing... Wu Haogu himself didn't want to make a fuss because the water was too deep.
Therefore, Wu Haogu now wants to open up a situation in Liaodong... He vaguely remembers that there seemed to be a "Bohai Restoration" incident in history. A great nobleman named Gao occupied Liaoyang and became independent, and later it seemed that he was destroyed by Wanyan Agu.
If the Liaodong Peninsula can be used as a base to support the Bohai Kingdom and allow this Bohai Kingdom to exist for a few more years, the Liaodong Road in the Great Song Dynasty may be able to exist...
And with Liaodong Road, can the Jurchens break through the pass so easily and move south and sweep Kaifeng?
If the Jurchens are going south, we should attack and eliminate Zhucheng in Liaodong first? Otherwise, the Jurchens will directly attack Kaifeng Prefecture and Liaodong Road will directly attack Huanglong Prefecture.
Listening to Wu Haogu's endless analysis, Ma Zhi was already a little stunned. Wu Haogu's words sounded very reasonable!
This guy looked stupid at first, but now he is getting more and more capable? According to this trend, would Wu Haogu become a high-ranking official in the Southern Dynasty?
Murong Wangyou also had a shiny look in his turbid gaze. After watching Wu Haogu finish his ideas, he asked lightly: "Pan Dianzhi, is this your idea, or your husband Zhang's idea?"
Such an obviously thoughtful method could not have been thought out by "Pan Xiaoyi", a boy who had not even grown all his hair on his lips.
It must be the trick of Zhang Dun, the traitor of the Song Dynasty. Because of this idea, it is really traitorous!
"It's Mr. Zhang's idea." Wu Haogu naturally dared not take credit for it.
Moreover, he is not good at this achievement. If he wants to live, Old Man Murong and Ma Zhi may not necessarily obey.
If it comes from Zhang Dun, it would be different.
"So that's it." Old Man Murong held his beard and nodded slightly.
He didn't expect that he would be fooled, but he didn't give up immediately. "Why don't you do this? I will go back to Kaifeng Mansion with you to meet Mr. Zhang."
Want to see Zhang Dun?
Isn’t this going to be a mistake?
Wu Haogu was stunned. When he was not sure whether he should agree or refuse, Ma Zhi interrupted: "When his family master was in his prime, he served as a Jinshi, and became a senior young master of Taichang, and was waiting for the Qianwen Pavilion, and the prince was accompanied him. Although he was implicated by Prince Zhaohuai and lost his post, he has always been a famous scholar in the Great Liao Dynasty. He is also the confidant of the old master of the Zhao family, and has a good grasp of the domestic situation in Liao."
It turns out that Mr. Murong, who looks almost confused, has also been rich!
If he could bring him back to Kaifeng Mansion, it would be a great achievement!
As for that lie, there should be a way to say it...
Wu Haogu had already made up his mind and nodded, "That's really a big wish." As he said that, he pointed to the "Great Confucian" Zhong Ge'er, "Let's go south together. Brother Zhong can be honest with his surname Zhao when he goes to Kaifeng. With Brother Zhong'er's ability, he can make a name for himself in the south. It seems that it is not difficult."
After hearing Wu Haogu's words, Brother Zhong immediately turned around and bowed to Wu Dalang, "President Pan, I have offended you so much, and I am now apologizing to you. If you can really enter the genealogy of Mr. Wei, you will be the great benefactor."
Wu Haogu also bowed his hand and replied with a smile: "What are you saying this? If you can find a hero like Brother Zhong for our dynasty, you must remember another merit!"
"Okay, okay," Ma Zhi clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Zhong Ge'er's 'one word' has finally come true, which is a gratifying congratulation!
By the way, Dalang, there is one more important thing to do today.”
"What's the point?" Wu Haogu asked, "What's the point?"
"It's a portrait of Prince Zhaohuai." Ma Zhi smiled, "Da Lang has forgotten this?"
"Crown Prince Zhaohuai..." Wu Haogu thought about it, and then turned his eyes to Murong Wangyou, "After so many years, the old man still remembers the appearance of Prince Zhaohuai?"
Mr. Murong smiled bitterly: "Of course I remember! Some people look like they are something I will never forget in my life!"
...
Yanjing City, Ganquanfang, and Mazhi Mansion.
Just as Wu Haogu followed Ma Zhi to Xiangshan Academy to meet Mr. Murong, a great monk arrived quietly.
The visiting monk was Ma Rencai Ma with the name Lan Deng. He came here on behalf of the Ma family in Yiwulu Mountain to meet Tong Guan and Ji Yi.
He did not come empty-handed, but brought a carefully depicted full picture of "The Dao of Nanjing in the Great Liao Dynasty" and gave it to Tong Guan and Ji Yi.
Now the map is unfolding in front of Tong Guan. The big sable man looked carefully and saw an unconcealed joy on his dark face.
In this picture, the Zhenhe City in Yanjing is so close! If you go north along the Sanggan River, there is only one city in Wuqing on the way. Tong Guan has personally experienced the navigation ability of the Jiehe River-Sanggan River on his way to Yanjing.
Even sea boats from Liaodong can sail, and the tower ships with shallow drafts are even less difficult. If a fleet of inland rivers can be established, along the Yellow River-Border River-Sanggan River, and directly to the city of Yanjing... the future battle against Yan should be sure to win!
Ji Yi felt uncontrollable joy. Although she had not seen Ma Renwang and Ma Renjie of the Ma family in Yiwulu Mountain, the map of Nanjing Taoism presented by the Ma family obviously showed her intention to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
The question now is just how strong the Ma family has and what they ask for?
Ji Yi thinks there should be some issues with strength, just look at the Ma family that can occupy a single yard in Yanjing City.
Moreover, the Ma family is a large family that can "buy" the Jiedushi. If there are not enough soldiers, wouldn't it be enough to buy a few more Jiedushi?
Isn't it just money!
"Master," Tong Guan said at this time, "What are the conditions for your Ma family?"
Ma Da Monk had already discussed the words of answering Ma Renwang, and Ma Renjie had already discussed the words of answering. He immediately smiled and said, "Actually, since my ancestors were arrested and moved to Yiwulu Mountain, I have been looking at the King's Army in the south. If the King's Army really could come, my family would not be happy, so why would they still have the conditions?
