Chapter 805: The court is unjust and harms the loyal and good. Where is the 'order' and where is the rebellion?
"Your Majesty, our army has made some gains. We can no longer stay in Hengshan. Let's return home!"
In the Liao army's stronghold, Xiao Wuna tried hard to persuade him.
Yelu Yanxi was teasing a Haidongqing. Hearing this, he said casually: "How do you think the 'life-supporting' eagle is trained? How can it be different from the Haidongqing I have seen? It is so spiritual and intelligent.
Jun?"
Xiao Fengxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. When I go back, I will order the female straight people to capture more and offer them as offerings. I will definitely be able to train better eagles!"
Yelu Yanxi nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Xiao Wuna: "Taifu, do you know why Zuoming left?"
Since the Liao army stationed in Hengshan, a formal conflict broke out with Xixia, and then joined forces with the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, the figure with wide robes and sleeves disappeared from Yelu Yanxi's side and no longer held the other party hostage.
The Liao army was greatly shocked. They really didn't believe that the other party left so easily. Xiao Wuna became even more fearful: "This is because this person has achieved his goal. What he wants is the main force of our Liao army, and he will fight with Xixia
The soldiers mobilized by the whole country, as well as the most elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty, are all wasted on this Hengshan battlefield!"
Yelu Yanxi said: "You are right. How about asking the Taifu to give the order for all ministries to withdraw their troops?"
Xiao Wuna fell silent.
Yelu Yanxi sneered: "Does Taifu, the pillar of the country, know that it is impossible? When 'Zuoming' left, I was also surprised, but I quickly figured out that the other party knew it. Even if we want to
It is impossible to withdraw the troops back to Daliao. The property in front of Yanmen Pass has been lost once. If we stop the plundering of various ministries this time, they will immediately rebel!"
Xiao Wuna sighed secretly. The things this idiot did made people helpless, but he was very sober sometimes.
Ultimately, Emperor Tian Zuo was not really stupid, but was extremely selfish. He did not consider the overall situation at all and only cared about his own interests. This is often the most fatal, because it is difficult for ministers to fool such an emperor.
, I can only look at his willful decision-making.
Fortunately, Xiao Wuna also knew the stakes, and the real purpose was not to retreat directly. The previous refutations were just foreshadowing, and the following was the real advice: "Your Majesty is wise, but the old minister is stupid. Since it is difficult for our army to retreat, I hope your Majesty will unite with the Song Dynasty."
People, quickly wipe out the Xixia army and avoid future troubles!"
Yelu Yanxi was very jealous of Li Qianshun before, and it was unrealistic for him to unite with Xixia. But if he united with the Song army, at least the two sides had a ridiculous covenant. After hearing this, Emperor Tianzuo really thought about it, then shook his head and said:
"I can't trust them. What if there are a few more ministers like Gao Qiu?"
Xiao Wuna immediately took out the letter and handed it over: "Gao Qiu has been convicted by the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty and escorted back to Beijing. This matter must have been spread to the Western Army. They dare not make any mistakes!"
Yelu Yanxi immediately took it and laughed after reading it: "That's what it should be! That's what it should be! This cowardly and incompetent emperor of the Southern Dynasty finally did the right thing and killed Gao Qiu and his whole family!"
"
Xiao Wuna struck while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty, people in the Southern Dynasties pay more attention to loyalty and filial piety, and have a deep respect for the imperial power. Not everyone has the courage to resist and disobey orders. As long as Your Majesty issues an order, the Western Army generals will make an alliance strategy, and together we will
Destroy the Xixia army, and we can quickly end the war and return to the country!"
Yelu Yanxi was a little moved, but when she thought that Xiao Wuna was the one making the plans, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.
The two sides were almost at odds before, but Xiao Wuna's authority in the army was getting higher and higher. He really didn't want to see this old face with such great achievements, but he didn't dare to kill someone rashly, and he didn't want to come back like this.
He turned around and said, "But according to what Taifu said, after my army left, the Song Dynasty's Western Army was not able to easily capture Hengshan, but instead it allowed them to go to Italy?"
Xiao Wuna analyzed: "The Song people occupied Hengshan, and as long as they could not recover the local Qiang people, there would be no great benefits. On the contrary, Xixia was worried about the chaos of national subjugation, and the Dangxiang people would fight to the death with the Song people to fight for our great Liao Dynasty.
Seek advantage!"
Yelu Yanxi said coldly: "Then what if the Song people regain the Qiang people? If I remember correctly, the Hengshan Qiang who have lived in Hengshan for generations are an important source of Xixia soldiers. They are brave and good at fighting and are the best in Xixia. If Song
If people are allowed to go and attack Daliao in the future, won’t we be doing our own thing?”
Xiao Wuna could only compliment him and said: "Your Majesty is well-read and knowledgeable. 'Hengshan Qiang are good at fighting on the border, especially in the mountains. The Hengshan Qiang are the ones who attack the mountains, and the Pingxia troops are not as good as them.' The Hengshan Qiang are indeed an important military force."
"But the Qiang people in Hengshan had a history of taking refuge with the Song people. The Song generals treated them as human beings, so they completely sided with the Xixia people and turned around to kill the Song people. Now the two sides have already had a bloody feud. Without more than ten years of governance,
There is absolutely no possibility of it being effective..."
Yelu Yanxi shook his head: "The Tutor thinks too highly of these Qiang people. Now that the Three Kingdoms are competing in the Hengshan area, these Qiang tribes have suffered countless casualties. As long as they are given small profits, they can surrender obediently. Those civil servants of the Southern Dynasties are the best at
By trying to win people's hearts, they must not be allowed to reap the benefits and feed the tigers into trouble!"
Xiao Wuna didn't want to say it at first, but he really had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty doesn't want the Song people to benefit. Do you want to see 'Zuoming' reap the benefits?"
Yelu Yanxi asked curiously: "What do you mean by this?"
Xiao Wuna said: "After 'Zuoming' left the military camp, he was spreading faith among the Qiang tribes in Hengshan. This person can speak the local dialect and understands the people's sentiments. He is most likely from Hexi! Now he is still spreading a strange belief among the tribes.
Faith, named 'Zhenwu Shengjun', in my opinion, he just wants to take advantage of the melee of the Three Kingdoms to bring this land under his control!"
Yelu Yanxi sneered: "With the power of one person, he brought the land of Hengshan under his control. Does Privy Xiao think he is really a god? I have never heard of Zhenwu Sage, so how can the Qiang people believe in him?"
…
"Salute to the True Martial Lord!!" "Respect to the True Martial Lord!!"
The eagle hovered in the air, and Li Yan sat on its back as light as nothing, watching the silk threads rising from the Hengshan Qiang tribe and connecting to his own incarnation.
He finally realized Shishi's wonderful feeling.
However, Shishi's idea of Vajra Indestructible Buddhism allows him to see the causal threads of all mortals, and what he has seen so far are only the Qiang believers who developed during this period.
This is a bit of a coincidence. Li Yan's original plan did not mean to develop faith in Hengshan. However, with the incarnation of "Zuoming" moving around, the energy was depleted too fast and it was difficult to support it for a long time. Moreover, it was also affected by the previous Liao army.
The reminder of kneeling down is that the worship of faith by foreigners far exceeds that of Han people, so they tried it.
As early as when he determined the base area, he had thought about using his familiarity with Liangzhou in his previous life to develop his own power in Hexi. Now that the Song and Liao countries have jointly sent Yanyun, there is no need to come to Liangzhou for the official base area.
Prefecture, but developed a group of brave and capable Qiang believers, who are undoubtedly more suitable for the "order-serving" route.
Of course, the Qiang people generally believe in Buddhism, so for them to accept another faith in a short period of time requires some genuine means.
For example, recently, Li Yan secretly went out to repel a small group of Liao troops and saved the village. He used the route of working personally, and the thread of faith gradually grew thicker.
With a pot of gold accumulated, I recited the incantation and a circle of invisible ripples spread out: "God moves the heavenly phenomena, refines and refines, go!"
The Qiang people worshiping below suddenly felt an indescribable aura descending from the sky. Their originally weakened spirits became strong, and they regained their courage to fight against the Liao soldiers who were plundering everywhere. They danced for a while and shouted in local dialects.
: "The miracle of the Holy King! The miracle of the Holy King!"
"It's not difficult to respond to requests, perform miracles, and form a virtuous cycle. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at converting faith into energy..."
"Fortunately, from a long-term strategic perspective, this group of Hengshan Qiang is completely worth conquering!"
Li Yan sat on Ying'er, overlooking the land.
Among the densely packed Qiang villages and the gradually rising number of believers are the embellishments of forts and the armies of the Song, Liao and Xixia kingdoms fighting each other.
The main force of the Liao army has long seen that military discipline is extremely poor, but when it comes to plundering wealth, it can show good combat effectiveness;
The Xixia army has some ambitions of victory, with the belief of protecting the homeland and the country, and is not afraid of death. However, the recent casualties have been too heavy, and the food and grass are not enough, so they may be the first to retreat.
As for the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, it was in sharp contrast to the tired spirit of the Northern Army. It was a strong army with the strictest military discipline.
Although in the last years of Huizong's reign, the Western Army also suffered successive disastrous defeats, and was even defeated and fled by the Liao Army, which was on the verge of subjugation, but its power cannot be denied blindly. Apart from anything else, the Xuanhe Period in history
, Tong Guan used his teaching skills, and Liu Zhongwu as general, attacked Hengshan, and defeated the Xixia army. The elite field troops were wiped out, and this area was completely captured by the Song army.
From the beginning of the Hengshan strategy formulated by Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi in the Renzong Dynasty, after decades and many famous officials and ministers, Tong Guan finally plucked the fruits in the Huizong Dynasty and achieved success.
Then it was short-lived.
Originally, at that time, Xixia was on the verge of subjugation. As long as the Song army worked harder, they could invade Xingqing Mansion. However, first with Fang La's rebellion and then with the Jurchen's founding of the country, the focus of foreign strategy turned to the north, especially the Zhao Ji Alliance.
The stupid act of Jin's attack on Liao gave Xixia a precious chance to breathe, and took advantage of the war between Song and Jin to send troops to regain the lost territory.
After the Battle of Fuping in the Song and Jin Dynasties, the Song army withdrew from Guanzhong and retreated to Sichuan and Shaanxi. The Hengshan Strategy was completely ended, and the Song Dynasty's more than 70 years of hard work on this land was in vain.
"It can be seen that no matter how good the local strategy is, it is useless without the overall support of the country."
"The land of Yanyun that Song and Liao were fighting for has been taken over. The land of Hengshan that Song and Xia were fighting for has been taken over. I won't be polite anymore!"
Li Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and suddenly his heart moved. He felt faintly that waves of faith, like worship and prayer, came from the south:
"The imperial court is unruly and harms the loyal and good. Where is the 'support of orders' and where is the great rebellion?"
