"A victory in Songshan seems to be a blessing but is actually dangerous. The affairs of the country are difficult. All the princes in the temple must be ten thousand times more cautious. This is the blessing of the country..."
"What's the danger? There are only 150,000 or 60,000 Hu dings in the east of Yan, and most of the elites are trapped in Yanxi, and only 50,000 or 60,000 are left in western Liaoning. Even if the king of the captives sends all the people to serve as soldiers, the old, weak, women, and children will gather together and fight against each other in western Liaoning.
There are no more than 50,000 or 60,000 weak troops. In the battle of Songshan, 10,000 of the elite troops were killed, and the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 were even more old and weak. They also had to defend the cities separately. This should be a good opportunity for our government to restore the old land of Liaodong! Li's military department should take advantage of the victory to pursue it.
It is proper to gather troops to attack the king's court and complete the battle in one battle."
"There are fifteen or sixty thousand Hu Dingzhuangs in the east of Yan. However, in the past ten years, they have conquered the east and the west. All the Hus in Korea and Yanxi have surrendered to them, and they have captured nearly one million Dingzhuang. The entire Hu people have soldiers, and their military system is comparable to that of Yue."
They are completely different. Although there were more than 100,000 cavalrymen in Yanxi who were flooded and unable to return, before the country was in danger, they all grew up strong in the territory and raised another 100,000 and 200,000 troops. It was not difficult. They only achieved a victory in Songshan.
Just talking nonsense is the root of the real disaster!"
"I thought you, Zhao Shuhan, were also a scholar, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless! In the ninth year of Chongguan, the army invaded the border and kidnapped three hundred thousand people. However, we, the people of Vietnam, all
Taught by the etiquette and deeply grateful to the court, the king's arrival will surely save him from the fire and water. Zhao Shuhan, you said today that they will help the evildoer, what kind of intentions are you hiding? "
"Zhao is aware of the sun and the moon. He wishes the court would do well, so he came to discuss it with you. The victory in Songshan was too easy, so he must be careful."
"You have run out of words, but you actually claimed that the loss of Songshan was a trap set by the Donglu? How ridiculous! Songshan is to Liaoyang, just like Yanjing in Linyu, they are both important places. How stupid is the King of the Lu?
, will you deliberately give up the key points of the family? Do you really think that King Lu’s mind is as good as yours?”
"Bah, everything in the country is ruined by your arrogant and arrogant hands. If you don't check it today, it will be too late to regret it!" At this point in the argument, Zhao Shuhan was also very angry, and he didn't care about his status as a master of craftsmanship. He shouted sharply,
I want to wake up these wishful thinking and frivolous scholars.
"Haha..." Yu Bijiang laughed loudly, looked around and said, "Please see how angry Brother Zhao is. Is there any trace of brotherhood? Master Wang has just won a great victory, and the whole world is celebrating, but he is told so unfavorably.
What do you think he is thinking? Could it be that he is benefiting from Donglu?"
This is the entrance hall of the feudal lord. It was originally a small stage built for kabuki performances. It is now becoming a debate stage for Zhao Shuhan and Yu Pijiang to debate Northern affairs in public. There are many scholars and drinkers in front of the stage. However, given the current atmosphere,
Zhao Shuhan was completely suppressed by Yu Bijiang.
Every time Yu Bijiang spoke, the audience applauded, and every time Zhao Shuhan made a comment, the audience booed, occasionally with cynicism.
"You!" Zhao Shuhan was so angry when he saw Yu Bijiang spitting blood, he opened his mouth to argue. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared from the side. He had no time to get out of the way, but a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks was poured on his chest.
I was stunned for a moment, but I heard someone in the hall sneer: "Get out of here, you bastard with other people's ambitions!"
In the vassal building, the whole hall was laughing and making a loud noise. Scholars and drinkers rushed up one after another to drive Zhao Shuhan away.
Zhao Shuhan was so angry that he coughed loudly, with phlegm mixed with blood. At this moment, two strong men dressed as bodyguards came from the inside. They squeezed in and protected Zhao Shuhan, who was about to lose his mind with anger, and whispered in his ear: "Gu
Your Excellency is in the inner room, please Mr. Zhao and ignore these frivolous people!"
Hearing that Gu Wuchen was in the room, Zhao Shuhan calmed down a little. He straightened his robes, ignored the stains on his body, and followed others to the wine pavilion inside.
When Yu Bijiang saw Zhao Shuhan leaving in embarrassment, he was even more proud and said in a loud voice: "What kind of person is Li Bingbu? After ten years of worship, he took over the military department and talked about pacifying the captives in five years. His knowledge is not as good as that of Brother Zhao who talks about military affairs on paper."
What? I would like to advise Brother Zhao, don’t come out and embarrass yourself again!"
Zhao Shuhan felt resentful and walked away in panic. He entered the wine pavilion and closed the door. He could still hear the roar of laughter from outside.
However, Gu Wuchen and the Duke Zeng Mingxin were drinking here, accompanied by Zhao Qinmin, Sun Wenbing and others. Seeing that Zhao Shuhan was still angry, Zeng Mingxin comforted him with kind words: "The heart is like a stubborn stone. If you can't change it, you can't change it. Zhao Shuhan can't change it at all."
Sir, why bother arguing with them? If they are useful, how come the national affairs have fallen to this point?" Zhao Shuhan please take a seat.
After the old Duke said this, Zhao Shuhan was in a slightly better mood. He bowed to Zeng Mingxin and Gu Wuchen and sat down. He was still worried and said: "The wind is like this. If the court cannot see the situation clearly, it will urge Li Bingbu to rush the army from Songshan to attack again."
The situation in Liaoyang is dangerous!"
Gu Wuchen did not want to tell Zhao Shuhan more confidential things, but just said: "All the princes in the court have strategies, and they will make decisions before taking action, so we don't need to worry too much..." He then said to Sun Wenbing, "You accompany Mr. Zhao
Sit here for a while and don't let Mr. Zhao argue with those frivolous scholars outside."
Wen Bing nodded in response.
Gu Wuchen and Zeng Mingxin had been drinking for a long time, and the glasses on the table were empty.
They also listened to the discussion between Zhao Shuhan and Yu Bijiang from beginning to end. In any case, Zhao Shuhan was the master figure that Lin Fu set up in Jiangning to praise miscellaneous craftsmanship. Gu Wuchen could not let those ignorant people insult him like this outside.
, seeing that the situation was getting out of control, they asked people to invite Zhao Shuhan in.
Gu Wuchen cupped his hands towards Zeng Mingxin and said: "My lord, Wuchen has other matters to attend to, so don't worry about it..." Zeng Mingxin was a contemporary of Tang Haoxin, and the Lord showed that, although Gu Wuchen had the power, he still treated him
The gift of being a junior.
"It's easy to say that the national affairs are very difficult, so I can't waste your time," Zeng Mingxin said, "I have nothing to do, so I stay here to kill time..."
Gu Wuchen and Zhao Qinmin left surrounded by their retinue. Zeng Mingxin had people remove the remaining banquets and bring new wine.
Without Gu Wuchen present, Zhao Shuhan spoke more casually and asked Sun Wenbing: "What does Huaidong think of the victory of Songshan?"
Although Sun Wenbing did not hold a formal official position, he was the representative of Huaidong in Jiangning, so he was qualified to sit in front of Zeng Mingxin and Gu Wuchen, so he naturally knew the secrets.
Sun Wenbing shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Yu Pijiang is a famous person in Jiangning. He is the son of Yu Xinyuan. He also serves as an official in the Jiangning Metropolitan Procuratorate. He is so knowledgeable. The scholars in Jiangning are so enthusiastic. Mr. Zhao thinks that Huaidong can be like this."
How about the great victory of Songshan? Now we can only hope that Li Bingbu can withstand the pressure in western Liaoning and hold Songshan City until the Liaodong Bay thaws in the spring of next year. This will be a real great victory!"
After hearing what Sun Wenbing said, Zhao Shuhan looked at Zeng Kan~Shu] Come to www.o Mingxin.
Zeng Ming's old face shook his head sadly. He was no longer pessimistic, but desperate.
"'The general is outside, and the emperor has not given his orders.' As long as Li Bingbu can understand the situation and stick to Songshan until next spring, why is the Duke still so disappointed?" Zhao Shuhan asked anxiously.
Zeng Mingxin waved his hands and asked his retinue to guard outside, and then said: "Only when a king is wise and his ministers are virtuous can there be a saying that 'the general will be outside, but the king will not give you his orders.' Now the first person he wants to hit is the man in the palace, Li
So what if Zhuo refuses to grant orders? Li Zhuo cannot support his pillars and the building will collapse!"
In terms of influence on the Jibei Army, Hao Zongcheng, who had long served as military supervisor and military leader, was not inferior to Li Zhuo - with Emperor Chongguan's suspicious temperament, how could he let Li Zhuo take sole charge of the Jibei Army?
Li Zhuo couldn't control the Jibei Army independently, so what's the point of "not giving orders to the emperor"?
"Zhang Xie, Chen Xinbo and other gentlemen planned the country carefully and were not rash people; Hao Zongcheng was not a rash person either!" Zhao Shuhan said.
"There is a kind of person who is as timid as a mouse when he loses, and is as arrogant and stupid as a pig when he wins. He has no knowledge of himself, let alone the knowledge of his enemies," Zeng Mingxin said, "Shu Han, do you think you can place your hopes on such a person for the country?
"
Zeng Mingxin looked at Dai Viet Dynasty for more than a century as a prince and a prince. What kind of dirty things in the officialdom could he not see through?
Zhao Shuhan felt cold all over when he heard that Zeng Mingxin was so pessimistic!
At this moment, there was another uproar outside. Sun Wenbing walked over and opened the door and window slightly, and heard Yu Bijiang generously discussing state affairs outside: "At this time, the imperial court should order the Datong garrison to hold back the Yanxi enemy at all costs; order Dengzhou Water to
The teacher learned the art of Huaidong invasion, rushed to Liaodong, and went straight to the enemy's rear. He then ordered his deputy commander to lead the elite troops stationed in Linyu to join forces with Li's army who had occupied Songshan. They attacked Wang Ting's Liaoyang troops and fatally attacked them - or they did not encircle them.
Attack, wait for the troops from Yanxi to come back for reinforcements, wait for work and defeat them - the great resurgence of Vietnam can be expected soon!" The audience cheered and praised Yu Bijiang for saying that his soldiers are like gods, and he should be the choice of deputy commander-in-chief.
"Deputy commander?" Sun Wenbing and Zeng Mingxin looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Yu Pijiang and others had already thought of finding someone to replace Li Zhuo. At this moment, the heat and cold inside and outside the wine pavilion were so distinct!
On a long street in the cold night, Yang Pu led his entourage to walk in a carriage. Zhao Qinmin accompanied Gu Wuchen and sat in a spacious and luxurious carriage. The curtain opened a corner to let in the light from the horse lantern held at the corner of the carriage.
"The situation in western Liaoning is unclear, and Huaidong is too eager to seek the post of governor of Hailing?" Zhao Qinmin asked softly.
What Zhao Qinmin was talking about at this time was that Lin Fu wrote a letter to discuss with Gu Wuchen about seeking the position of prefect of Hailing.
Gu Wuchen fell into silence. He had been exiled in the border areas for ten years and had a deep understanding of the barbarians in Yandong. However, he was still not sure that the King of Lu used Songshan City as bait.
Songshan is to Liaoyang what Linyu is to Yanjing. If the Dayue Dynasty wanted to lure the enemy deeper into the country, who would dare to use the dangerous land of Linyu as bait?
If the victory of Songshan is finally maintained and the Donglu's vitality is severely damaged by this battle, the northern front will be relieved, and the imperial court will be able to mobilize a large number of elites from the northern front to go south.
At this time, Lin Fu was still using Jinhailiangdao to demand the post of Hailing magistrate. When the northern front calmed down, the imperial court might be the first to reduce the military power in Huaidong? Then it would be self-defeating!
In Zhao Qinmin's view, the situation was unclear and Huaidong should not endlessly test the court's limits.
Seeing that Gu Wuchen was silent for a long time, Zhao Qinmin knew that he was also conflicted, so he said, "How about I go to Chongzhou?"
"Okay!" Gu Wuchen really couldn't decide. He thought it would be best if Zhao Qinmin could go and persuade Lin Fu to give up his plan to be the prefect of Hailing for the time being. Lin Fu was still young and had the opportunity to become a marquis and prime minister, so he shouldn't rush.
