Chapter 1291: Two people playing chess, Shen Tang wants to send a message
"kill!"
"Snapped!"
"Hahaha……"
On the chessboard, He Shiliezhining's big hand took away one of Shen Tang's chess pieces, with a big smile on his face!
Heshi Liezhining is not proficient in chess, but he is very interested. However, on weekdays, his camp is full of rough guys, and there are not many people who know chess. Therefore, it is naturally difficult to play chess. Find an opponent.
Therefore, a few days ago, while taking advantage of his free time, he came to find Shen Tang against him with a chessboard in hand.
However, with Shen Tang's level, He Shi Liezhining is naturally no match.
Even if Shen Tang lets go, He Shi Liezhining won't be able to hold on for long.
These days, the two of them have played for who knows how many rounds, but Heshi Liezhining has not won a single victory! However, he is not discouraged, but becomes more and more courageous as he fights. This is not the case, he is holding the chessboard early in the morning. Came here to look for Shen Tang.
However, Shen Tang was not in good condition today. In the first game, He Shi Lie Zhining actually made a profit. Not long after the second game, Shen Tang had very few chess pieces left on the chessboard. Already...
"call!"
Shen Tang smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
"This game, the commander-in-chief wins again!"
"Ha ha!"
Heshi Liezhining laughed loudly and threw the chess pieces directly onto the chessboard.
"Are you worried about the battle at Fengxiang Mansion?"
Heshi Liezhining suppressed his smile slightly and asked softly, he knew his own affairs, how could he not know what his level was?
Today, Shen Tang's thoughts are obviously not on the chessboard.
Shen Tang doesn't care about other things, probably only the ongoing battle of Fengxiang Mansion.
Shen Tang did not answer, but said slowly, "Now, the two armies should have started fighting!"
All of Heshi Liezhining's battle reports have been shown to Shen Tang, so he can naturally calculate the approximate time when the two armies will start fighting!
"Um!"
Heshi Liezhining nodded slightly, "However, you should be aware of the course of this battle, so you don't have to worry too much!"
Shen Tang smiled bitterly when he heard this, saying that he said so. However, in a big war, tens of thousands of men from both sides fought on the battlefield. Even if there were elements of acting and false processes, countless people would still die.
Perhaps in the eyes of the superiors, these soldiers are just chess pieces, and not many people care about their life or death, but in Shen Tang's eyes, they are living lives.
This is why, in every battle, Shen Tang will carefully plan and plan to avoid casualties as much as possible.
It's a pity that this kind of thing cannot be changed by him alone.
"Why!"
Shen Tang sighed, "This battle should not have happened in the first place!"
Yes, although Wanyanyong had told Shen Tang before that there was still a battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties, but it was not certain whether or when this battle would happen.
However, Song Dynasty took the initiative to give this opportunity to Wan Yanyong.
Such a result is really dumbfounding!
Shen Tang could understand Wu Lin's thoughts, and could even guess to some extent why he led his troops north to initiate the war, but this did not mean that he agreed with Wu Lin's approach.
No matter how you look at it, this is a war with no hope or final victory in sight. It is undoubtedly irresponsible to use the lives of countless soldiers and the great Song Erlang to prove and achieve a result.
Why did Shen Tang work so hard to stabilize the southwest of the Song Dynasty, and why did he constantly attack Tubo?
This is not because Shen Tang is afraid of Jin Bing!
Regardless of everything, even if Shen Tang leads his troops across the land of the Jin Kingdom, Shen Tang still has a lot of confidence. Even if he is like Yue Fei, who went on the Northern Expedition again and again and forced the Jin people to retreat, he still can't do it.
However, the cost of doing so is too high.
If two huge countries went to full-scale war, they would invest at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops! And behind these huge soldiers and horses, all the people of the Song Dynasty would provide support and support.
Which one is more important, the lost homeland or the survival of tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty, may have different weights and answers in different people's minds. However, exchanging one for the other is not worth it, at least in Shen Tang's opinion.
Therefore, he would rather use more troublesome methods, supplemented by a strong army, to gradually exchange for the lost land.
Perhaps, this method will take a long time and even cause a lot of trouble and difficulties.
However, at least the price paid is much less than direct war.
Just say that in the current battle of Fengxiang Mansion, the treasury of the Song Dynasty is empty, and the people's taxes will inevitably increase. Think about the time in Shenjia Village, hundreds of copper plates can decide life and death. Seeing human nature is enough to prove that the people's current How weak the endurance will be.
Was the Song Dynasty rich?
Rich! There is no doubt about it! Lin'an now ranks first in the entire world in terms of population and economy!
However, most of this wealth belongs to a few powerful people and wealthy businessmen.
On the other hand, ordinary people are still struggling for survival. Shenjiacun is not an exception, nor is it the most miserable village.
In fact, Shenjiacun is located in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Compared with some remote places, it can be considered a prosperous place.
How much pressure can such people endure?
It's a pity that none of this is Shen Tang... at least it's something Shen Tang can't change now.
"Commander! I want to send a letter to Your Majesty, my father-in-law, and Commander Shan Kening, a disciple of the West Route Army. I don't know if it's convenient!"
After withdrawing his thoughts, Shen Tang still wanted to do his best to do something for the Song Dynasty.
Maybe it can't be changed, but even if it's just a small effect, it's enough.
"What's so inconvenient about this!"
Heshi Liezhining did not refuse, "Just go and write, and I will ask the messenger to send it out as quickly as possible!"
Shen Tang nodded slightly, "Thank you, Marshal!"
Heshi Liezhining didn’t reply, he just smiled!
Shen Tang got up and went back to the room. After about an hour, Shen Tang walked out of the room again!
He handed the three letters to He Shilie Zhining one by one, "Here you go, sir!"
"There's no need for you and me to be polite!"
Heshi Liezhining put away the letter and then stood up, "It seems that you have no intention of playing chess today, so I will come find you another day.
But next time, you can't let me do this.
Otherwise, how can I, a handsome man, have any dignity..."
After saying that, he raised his head, laughed, and walked away!
"kill!"
Outside Hengshui Town, two cavalrymen from the Song and Jin Dynasties rushed against the strong wind, and then suddenly collided with each other!
