403, pull the sky, save the hero (please complete the order)
What filial piety?
It's just wolfish ambition.
In the past, Song Huizong Zhao Ji and Song Qinzong Zhao Huan were captured by the Jin Kingdom. Now Song Huizong is dead, and the Jin people boiled their bodies with lamp oil... Only Song Qinzong Zhao Huan is still in the Five Emperors City.
Zhao Gou has been emperor for so many years, and his brother Song Qinzong Zhao Huan is nothing more than a useless person to the Jin people.
It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
What Bai Gui wants now is self-evident.
…
Soon, three days later, a horse came to report that the Jin Kingdom was willing to return Zhao Huan, the Duke of Tianshui County, to the Song Dynasty.
Tianshui County Duke is the title given by Zhao Gou to Zhao Huan.
The golden man's idea is very simple.
Bai Gui wants Zhao Gou to be a fake king of Qin, and now he wants Zhao Huan, which is obviously a separatist plan. They still hope to see such a thing by abandoning a useless Zhao Huan and causing civil strife in the Song Dynasty.
Before Bai Gui could welcome Zhao Huan, the Bai clan and Tang Shi clan had been secretly sent to Qin.
Outside the city of Chang'an, the Bai family and the Tang family were all exhausted. When they saw Bai Gui for the first time, the old, weak, women and children burst into tears.
This cry, most people do not have such a deep relationship with Bai Gui.
But along the way, they were on tenterhooks.
After all...if anything goes wrong, it could be a fatal deal.
"It is your fault to tire so many relatives from running around."
"But Your Majesty wants to use my head to win the favor of the golden man. If I can't capture him... If you can be safe, you are willing to go there."
"But you all have seen Marshal Yue's fate. If I die, how will the clan survive?"
Bai Gui sighed and said.
As soon as these words came out, most people in the Bai clan and the Tang clan suddenly lost their resentment.
Yue Fei was unjustly killed, and some of his relatives were exiled to Lingnan and some to northern Fujian. Although exile is a good thing, if there is a slight setback, it will be like dying in a foreign country.
Now Bai Gui's arrangement for them is pretty good. Anyway, they have already gone to Qin. If they complain again, it will not help. On the contrary, they will offend Bai Gui.
Seeing this scene, Bai Gui nodded and asked his soldiers to take the two relatives down to rest.
At this time, only her parents, Tang Wan's parents, and Tang Wan's relatives were left.
Bai Gui said hello one by one.
After the arrangements were made, he took Tang Wan into the camp.
“When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, follow the dog.”
"I am Bai Lang's wife..."
Entering the camp, Tang Wan hugged Bai Gui's waist and cried.
A little separation between two people is better than a wedding.
Many times of love.
The next day, Bai Gui canonized Tang Wan as Princess Qin and took charge of the harem.
In addition, Tang Wan's father Tang Hong was appointed as the internal minister of the King of Qin, in charge of internal affairs and other affairs.
Although it was taboo for the imperial court for relatives to interfere in government affairs, in the early days of business, relatives and wives were the most loyal, because they were the first to be punished for rebellion.
As for Tang Hong, who was once the general judge of the fifth rank, he still had the ability to handle government affairs.
Since then, although the Qin Dynasty was small, Bai Gui had reluctantly built an administrative team, and it was no longer a grass-roots team.
Two days later.
Zhao Huan, the Duke of Tianshui County, was sent to Chang'an by the Jin people.
From now on, Bai Gui respected Zhao Huan as emperor, and called Zhao Gou King Kang, and no longer respected him as Emperor of Song Dynasty.
The Jin and Song Dynasties were confronting each other.
Bai Gui's actions gave the Jin people confidence and temporarily relieved them of their worries. They began to concentrate on dealing with the Southern Song Dynasty. At the same time, the Jin Kingdom also recruited troops and prepared to attack Qin again.
However, something unexpected happened to both the Jin and Song Dynasties.
In this short period of time, Bai Gui led a total of more than 70,000 horse infantry troops to attack the Xiping Prefecture of Xixia, intending to destroy Xia in one fell swoop and eliminate the worries of Qin's future.
At this time in Xixia, Xia Renzong and Li Cunxiao were in power.
Li Cunxiao attached great importance to Confucianism and despised armaments. In his policy, he emphasized culture over military armaments, so the armaments of the border army were depleted.
However, after Bai Gui became the King of Qin, he changed his previous tactics.
It is no longer a matter of being a pioneer, but a strategy.
In the battle of the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, Xixia was related by marriage to the Liao Kingdom, so it rescued the Liao Kingdom several times. In these battles, the Xixia military strength declined seriously.
It's not that the Jin Kingdom didn't want to destroy Xixia, but that the Jin Kingdom's strategy was to go before the Song Dynasty and then the Xia Dynasty, so it always allowed the Xixia Dynasty to linger.
So Bai Gui took an advantage from the Kingdom of Jin.
Xixia still has a certain family background and sticks to Xiliang Prefecture, Xiping Prefecture and other places.
In ancient sieges, without artillery, it was common for a city to be conquered in several months if it was defended to the death. In some cases, it was even more difficult to conquer it for several years.
Bai Gui of Xiping Prefecture used his cavalry army to create a loophole, and the defenders pursued and annihilated them.
Then use the Qiaoguan soldiers to conduct a night attack and capture it.
In the next few states, Bai Gui used his cavalry to bypass and go directly to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia, to besiege the capital of Xixia.
Li Cunxiao was more powerful than Song Huizong and Song Qinzong. Knowing that he could not surrender at this time, he personally went to the city wall to encourage the soldiers. At the same time, he also ordered soldiers and horses from various states to immediately form King Qin's Army and come to escort him.
But this is also what Bai Gui wanted.
Surround the place to call for help!
How could the Xixia army with its depleted armament be the opponent of his cavalry army?
As for the iron kites, there are only three thousand in number.
This group of turtle shells was not easy to use even if the light cavalry came. Seeing this, Bai Gui could only put on heavy armor and charge into the formation with the heavy cavalry of Shengyi Army.
After several wars, Xixia was short of troops.
Bai Gui then attacked the city with infantry. After several battles, half of Xixia's territory was lost.
Xingqing Mansion is in danger.
Emperor Xixia Li Cunxiao prayed with jade in his mouth, tied his hands behind his back and walked out of the city to surrender.
Bai Gui asked Zhao Huan for orders, and Zhao Huan named Li Cunxiao as a disobedient candidate. The entire royal family was escorted to Chang'an to await their fate.
In the 19th year of Shaoxing, the Xixia Kingdom was destroyed.
Oh, no, Zhao Huan, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, had a new reign name. In the first year of Jianxi, the Xixia Kingdom was destroyed.
After the Xixia Kingdom was destroyed, Bai Gui and Zhao Huan ran non-stop to Jianmen Pass in Shu and asked the guard of Jianmen Pass to open the door to welcome the emperor.
The guard at Jianmen Gate will not obey.
So Zhao Huan wore military armor, led the troops to march in person, and held the customs personally.
None of the defenders at Jianmen Pass dared to fire arrows.
If the Jin people coerced Zhao Huan into locking the gate, it would be fine and they would just let go of the arrows. But now Bai Gui and Zhao Huan are Song people, a Song emperor and a Qin king, so they dare not let go of the arrows.
If Zhao Huan dies, no matter in whose hands he dies, Zhao Gou, his biological brother, will not let him go easily, no matter how happy he is, and he still has to express his stance.
Besides, there is no psychological burden in taking refuge in the "Old Song Dynasty".
Jianmen Pass begins to fall.
The territory near Jianzhou also belonged to the old Song Dynasty.
But after Bai Gui hit here and knocked on the door of Bashu, he stopped fighting any further. He stopped his attack and began to work hard to repair the internal affairs and digest the gains.
The reason why he attacked Jianzhou was to control the throat of Shu.
With this throat, he will be able to run freely in Shu from now on.
Moreover, if they attack Bashu, his direct troops will be spread out too much, and they will definitely defeat them one by one. Therefore, Bashu cannot be swallowed now.
In addition..., he does not take Bashu, but Bashu's money and food can also be used by him.
The next day, Bai Gui reported again, and the memorial was rushed to Lin'an.
This time he did not call Zhao Gou King Kang, but changed his name to Your Majesty, and the lion opened his mouth widely.
One asked for the reward for conquering Xixia, and the other asked for the family members of the expedition soldiers, so that the Lin'an side could be sent to Qin via Bashu.
Suddenly, not only Lin'an was shaken, but the whole country was in an uproar.
Recovering the old state is amazing, but it is not as shocking as destroying a country. Although Xixia is weak, it is still a big country that has been at odds with Song, Jin and Liao for so long.
Just like that..., destroy it as soon as you say it will be destroyed?!
Inside Lin'an City.
Although the literati and celebrities still publicly called Bai Gui a rebellious minister and traitor, privately they had a sudden affection for Bai Gui and considered him a hero who saved the times.
After all, this world belongs to Zhao and Song. Zhao and Song lost their virtue and led to the fall of the mountains and rivers. Facts have proved that Zhao and Song are not worthy of the destiny. Now Bai Gui can save the world and have the possibility of expelling the Tartars and restoring the Central Plains. How can he praise his virtues?
Nothing but normal.
At the same time, a fortune teller looked at the Bai family's ancestral tomb and said that he had the aura of an emperor.
…
Lin'an City, Chui Gong Hall.
"This Bai Gui is so scheming and vicious!"
"With the sword gate, Bashu will be their prey from now on. If we want to fortify the walls and clear the country to resist the Qin army's covetousness, we will definitely suffer from the resentment of the people..."
"But if the people are dissatisfied, he can conquer Shu without any bloodshed. When the time comes, he will go down the river, and his safety will be in danger."
Zhao Gou was not without vision, he could see Bai Gui's plan at a glance.
After many years of war between the Jin and Song Dynasties, Jiangnan was exhausted. Moreover, the Central Plains and Qin were intertwined with the territory of the Jin Kingdom. It was even more difficult to send rewards to the Qin army. The only way was to obtain them from Bashu.
But if you can get it from Bashu...
Public dissatisfaction boils!
The people of Bashu will inevitably abandon the New Song Dynasty and fall into the arms of the Old Song Dynasty.
But if Lin'an side does not give Bai Gui food and salary, and pushes Bai Gui to the Jin side, without saying anything about taking action, as long as the two sides do not help each other, it will be regarded as helping the Jin people, and the situation of the Song army will be greatly unfavorable.
Even if we take a step back and say that without these extraneous matters, if only rewards were not given, those Song troops who were "deceived" by Bai Gui would really become Qin troops.
On the other hand, it is also difficult to give it to the family members of the Song army on the expedition.
Bai Gui's troops were extremely quick and he conquered Qin and Xixia. Now, only a small part of the troops under his command are old Song troops. Even if Lin'an seizes the relatives of the expeditionary Song troops and refuses to return them, it will not help the overall situation.
"Your Majesty, the coaches Han Shizhong and Liu Qi all have old feelings for me. If your Majesty..."
"The national situation is difficult, and I hope your majesty will tolerate it."
Suddenly, a close minister came out and whispered.
Zhao Gou's face changed rapidly, turning green and red. It took him a long time before he regained his composure, "The King of Qin served the country and the people and conquered Xia's old enemy. I was delighted to see him in the ancestral temple and gave him 50,000 taels of gold, 100,000 pieces of silk, and various treasures.
Countless, give me twelve more beauties."
The situation now is different from when Bai Gui captured Qin.
Attacking Xixia means that the troops led by Bai Gui have the possibility of destroying a country. Similarly, Bashu is an important tax-paying area in the Southern Song Dynasty. If Bai Gui really breaks his skin and leads his horse south, can the weak soldiers of Bashu resist it?
In between.
Furthermore, who can dare to say whether the two coaches, Han Shizhong and Liu Qi, would abandon him as an eunuch and switch to the old Song Dynasty? After all, they have learned from Yue Fei's mistakes.
Hold the emperor hostage to order the princes!
The Southern Song Dynasty could resist the Jin people, but it was difficult to resist Bai Gui's Qin army.
His throat was being held, and he couldn't help but let go.
As for the gift of the beautiful girl later, it was his dirty thoughts. It doesn't matter how brave you are because of your young age, he might die immediately from the wind on the woman's belly.
