404, move the star, Xiaoqing asks promise (please complete the order)
"His Majesty……"
"There are also the families of the expedition soldiers."
A minister came forward and reminded.
"Give it together!"
Zhao Gou regained his composure and "transported the family members from Bashu to Qin together with the rewards. However, I strictly ordered to tell all the states that if you want to deal with the old affairs of Jianmen, I will wait for you with a strong bow... I will not blame the past."
He also saw the shortcomings of Bai Gui holding the emperor hostage to control the princes.
Although Zhao Huan was inferior to him, and the people of the entire Song Dynasty had no respect for the emperor Zhao Huan, even though Zhao Huan was the "deposed emperor", he was the emperor truly recognized by the Song Dynasty, and even more so his
Brother Emperor, it is obviously impossible for the guards to ignore it...
"This is a secret decree, sent to the Bashu states..."
Zhao Gou added.
Killing an older brother with a younger brother is not disloyal.
This kind of thing... can only be given secretly, never done openly.
…
The Lin'an Song Dynasty gave many rewards.
After Bai Gui accepted them all, he asked Zhao Gou for food and salary.
The first one is reward, and the second one is food and salary.
The two are not different.
After Zhao Gou received Bai Gui's memorial in Chui Gong Hall, he cursed a lot. He could only collect grain and wages from Bashu and transport them to Qin to satisfy Bai Gui's evil tiger.
Therefore, although Bai Gui did not take Bashu, the money and food of Bashu, a kingdom of abundance, was used by him.
The most critical point is that although the Song Dynasty in Lin'an tried its best to restrain the levy of taxes on Bashu, people in Bashu inevitably became resentful, and people from Bashu gradually fled to Qin.
As long as the time is right, Bashu can be conquered in one battle!
After receiving money and food, Bai Gui also began to express his position, leading 30,000 troops to march towards Luoyi, the capital of Xijing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, to relieve the pressure of the Song army against the Jin army.
If we take Qin, we can threaten the entire Central Plains.
Then after attacking Luoyi, this advantage will be fully utilized.
In the previous Tang Dynasty, Chang'an and Luoyi controlled the entire world. The most obvious geographical advantage of Luoyi was that it could control the entire Central Plains.
The Luoyang Basin reaches directly into the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Luoyi is a point that controls the Central Plains.
Control the surface with points.
With the land of Qin, we can attack Luoyi again.
It is equivalent to inserting a sharp sword directly into the hinterland of the Central Plains.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Wanyan Zongbi, the commander-in-chief of the Jin army, immediately decided to negotiate a temporary peace with the Song people to deal with Bai Gui's eastward advance.
When negotiating peace, the Jin army was willing to return several states of the Song Dynasty that they had captured in this battle.
Lin'an readily agreed.
Although both Zhao Gou and everyone in the court knew that delaying Wanyan Zongbi at this moment was the best decision-making method. Because once Bai Gui captured Luoyi and cooperated with the East Route Army and the West Route Army, the restoration of the old land would be just around the corner.
.
But war is always a continuation of politics.
Zhao Gou endured the cruelty on the outside and was cruel on the inside, and he defended himself better from within than from the outside.
Now Bai Gui supported Zhao Huan and used the emperor to command the princes. The trouble was far greater than that of the Jin Kingdom. Similarly, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and other generals were also suspected by Zhao Gou. They took the opportunity to negotiate peace and regain military power. This is what Zhao Gou believes is the current situation.
The most important thing.
Zhao Gou's move was equivalent to stabbing Bai Gui in the back.
Originally, the two parties had agreed to march together to restore the old capital and drive the Jin forces completely out of the Central Plains.
But Bai Gui was not unprepared.
His 30,000-horse infantry advanced towards Luoyi, but it was just a feint attack.
After the peace talks between the Jin and Song Dynasties, he immediately returned to Qin and defended Tongguan to the death, waiting for the arrival of Wanyan Zongbi's army.
Even with his bravery and being the first to ascend the throne, Luoyi was not difficult to attack.
But the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall.
He is now the King of Qin, and is no longer the fierce general he was before.
Moreover, the territory under his command already has some indigestion and has not yet become a true basic territory. If he continues to attack, sooner or later it will collapse.
Kui Xiao of the New Dynasty once said: "Please take a pill of mud and seal Hangu Pass in the east. If you fail to succeed, the disadvantage will be enough to dominate."
This Niwan is Tongguan!
Tongguan Pass, like Hangu Pass, is a dangerous pass in the world where only one man can pass it and no one can open it.
Wanyan Zongbi led 200,000 troops to attack.
But under Bai Gui's strict defense, it was difficult to make any progress.
…
In late October of the first year of Jianxi, the weather turned cold.
Sunset.
The Jin army attacking Tongguan blew the trumpet, returned to the camp, and sent a group of soldiers to pick up the dead bodies left behind during the siege.
This is the established rule of war.
Inside Tongguan.
Bai Gui, dressed in military uniform, walked down from the top of the city, casually took a bowl of ginger soup from his guard, and drank it in one gulp.
At this time, there are few stars at night.
"The time has come."
"The stars have shifted this night. It seems that Jin Wushu cannot hold on any longer."
He raised his head and looked toward the sky.
Originally, according to historical data, Jin Wushu died of illness in October this year. However, Bai Gui did not know exactly which day Jin Wushu died of illness.
For example, if the death of an older general like Jin Wushu is not explained by the theory of gods and ghosts, then it means that the physical function has come to an end, and it will happen one day sooner or later. If it is explained by the theory of gods and ghosts, it is a matter of Jin Wushu.
His life span is over.
Sure enough, two days later, Jin Wushu died suddenly in the commander's tent.
The Jin army kept its mourning secret and withdrew quietly.
Since then, the eighteen-year battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties in Shaoxing has come to an end.
…
Bai Gui did not take advantage of this to pursue. Instead, he left 10,000 troops at Tongguan and led the remaining troops back to Chang'an.
Return to Chang'an on the fifth day.
Qin Palace.
Bai Guigang and Tang Wan were tired and ready to lie down and rest.
Outside the palace, a strong wind blew.
The window sash is wide open.
Seeing this, the serving maid prepared to close the window sash again.
But after it was closed, the wind picked up again.
"No need, I will go out personally."
Bai Gui stopped his maid.
He could tell that this was a demonic wind.
There was a familiar scent inside.
Just got out of bed.
The evil wind immediately dissipated, and the window sash creaked.
This is not because Bai Gui took action, or because people outside the window sensed that Bai Gui got off the bed and stopped casting spells. It was because the law did not add noble people. Bai Gui was now the King of Qin, and ordinary Taoist spells could not fall on him.
Unless the monks do it deliberately.
After Bai Gui stayed, there was nothing he could do to hurt him.
"Shiro..."
Tang Wan, who was confused, felt a light touch on her body. She touched to the side and found nothing. She quickly opened her eyes and couldn't help but wonder when she saw Bai Gui's scene.
She subconsciously pulled Bai Gui's sleeves forward.
But accidentally the brocade quilt slipped.
A piece of white greasy is exposed.
Seeing this, Bai Gui said a few words of comfort, then put on his outer robe and walked out.
He walked to a corner of the garden at the end of the palace verandah.
There was a pause.
This Qin Palace was actually transformed from an ordinary mansion and was not luxurious.
corner.
I met a maid in green clothes.
The maid in green clothes was struggling to carry a bucket and fetch water from the two water tanks in the garden.
Only the slim silhouette of the maid in green can be seen behind her.
"Xiao Qing?"
Bai Gui recognized at a glance that this was Xiao Qing who was following Bai Suzhen.
At the same time, he also saw with his Dharma eyes that Xiao Qing was also seriously injured at this moment.
'It should be an injury sustained while assassinating a Jurchen noble.'
He secretly thought.
Although Xiaoqing assassinated the nobles of the Jin Kingdom and did not kill hundreds of court officials, even if the demons hurt ordinary officials, they would still pay a high price, ranging from the turbid anger to the heart, to the Taoism backlash.
It’s not that the law cannot harm noble people, but it depends on whether the monk is willing to pay a huge price for it.
Of course, if you assassinate with ordinary martial arts, you don't have such worries.
It's just that... without Taoism, ordinary monks or demons would at most be stronger, tougher, and stronger than ordinary people.
It won't reach the level of Bai Gui, who is the enemy of ten thousand people. At most, it will be the enemy of hundreds of people.
Top inheritance and monks who have become saints in the flesh are not included.
Therefore, monks who use martial arts to assassinate people have given up eating because of choking.
"Master Bai..."
"No, it's King Qin."
"This slave is here to see His Highness the King of Qin."
When Xiao Qing saw Bai Gui, the bucket she was carrying dropped to the ground with a splash, causing a splash of water. Her pink face showed a hint of surprise, but then she realized something, and she quickly straightened her body and bowed to Bai Gui respectfully.
"You and I are old acquaintances."
"No need to be polite."
Bai Gui waved his hand.
The evil wind that blew into the palace was caused by Xiao Qing. It seemed like a chance encounter at this moment, but in fact it was inevitable under Xiao Qing's calculation.
"Ever since Mr. Bai Daguan...you went to the north, my sister and I have been asking about your safety everywhere. Unexpectedly, the government found out about this. A few days ago, the government knew that the young lady and you, Mr. Bai Daguan, had an old relationship, so they dispatched
The police want to capture the little lady..."
"The two of us dressed up in disguise and headed to Bashu, and then came to Qin with the caravan going to Qin for business. The young lady is thin-skinned and refused to come to the Prince of Qin's palace."
"A few days ago, the Prince of Qin's Mansion was looking for maids, so I entered the Prince of Qin's Mansion. Unexpectedly, I met you, Mr. Bai, here..."
After finding an excuse, Xiaoqing revealed the reason why she was in Prince Qin's Mansion.
"I have repeatedly made meritorious deeds on the battlefield, but unexpectedly I became a thorn in the Jin people's side and a thorn in their flesh. The Jin people sent a secret envoy to Lin'an to threaten Zhao Gou to kill me..."
"Commander Yue has learned from his mistakes. I can only be forced to go to Qin."
"I don't want to... but this will hurt you two sisters."
Bai Gui sighed and said.
Since Zhao Gou unjustly killed Yue Fei on trumped-up charges, the government and the public have been discussing. Therefore, this time Bai Gui's "rebellion", many scholars have expressed sympathy for Bai Gui, thinking that this is the surrender of Zhao Gou and Qin Shi.
You are forced to go down this road...
Therefore, what Bai Gui said this time was reasonable and reasonable in the eyes of people at the time.
"Last time..."
"Last time, my servant made a bet with His Highness the King of Qin... Does His Highness the King of Qin remember it? You must know that a gentleman's promise is hard to keep. A king's promise is true to his word."
Xiao Qing wept, raised her tearful eyes, and asked.
