Chapter 729 Congratulations to Daoye and Wangye for being a brother-in-law
At this time, the generals vaguely understood why he had broken his promise not to join forces with the Song Dynasty to attack Yan. He was afraid that he had a plan.
However, it is now certain that the Song Dynasty made an appointment with South Korea to send troops, but South Korea did not hold back its troops and ended up like this. It is definitely related to this stable commander. I don’t know how much effort this man secretly put into Wu Gongling.
Is it because Wu Gongling made Song Guo take action first because of this person?
A general raised doubts: "Da Sima, Meng Shanming is determined to deal with Wu Gongling. When the troops retreated, they could not cross the river all the way. They divided their troops into two groups to outflank and march towards Binzhou. Wu Gongling is probably in danger."
A smile appeared on the corner of Jin Jue's mouth, mysterious and humble, "You are all anxious, why am I still gathering heavy troops at the border of Yan State? If you are anxious, you have decided to attack Song Dynasty, why don't you mobilize your troops and make preparations first?"
He turned his eyes back to the map and tapped the location of Binzhou with his finger. "It is precisely to stabilize Wu Gongling. Meng Shanming will not move for the time being. If he does, our army will immediately launch a full-scale feint attack on the Yan State. Meng Shanming will be able to solve it by then."
Is the hidden danger of Wu Gong Ling more important, or is it more important to prevent our Korean army from invading?"
The generals suddenly realized again, and someone clapped his hands and praised: "Yes, Meng Shanming will definitely not be able to take care of Wu Gongling by then, and the troops and horses will have to cross the river in an emergency and go north to support Beizhou."
Jin Jue nodded: "By leading Wu Gongling to Binzhou, his life and death are in my hands! If you obey, I will help him survive this disaster! If you dare not listen, I will immediately withdraw troops from the border to relieve the pressure on Yan State.
Without worries, Meng Shanming must first eliminate his future troubles. If Wu Gongling wants to live well, he must listen to me, Korea. If I ask him to attack Song Dynasty, he will have to attack Song Dynasty. He has no choice!"
Everyone thought carefully and realized that this was really the case. They couldn't help but look at each other and began to reflect on themselves whether they had misunderstood this person before.
Jin Jue turned to face the crowd and reminded him sternly: "I know that you all have the desire to make contributions, but no matter how strong the country is, it cannot withstand repeated wars, and it consumes its own national power. The confrontation between the two countries does not necessarily have to be in the
To determine the winner on the battlefield, it is not advisable to start a fight unless it is absolutely necessary. The best policy is to subjugate the enemy's troops without fighting!"
The generals were silent. Jin Jue sighed secretly when he saw this. He didn't know if these people could listen.
…
What was supposed to come finally came, and Luo Zhao's men and horses, who had made a long journey to attack Yanjing, finally arrived at the riverside of Dongyu.
Along the way, they were followed and harassed by the Nanzhou cavalry. The losses suffered by Luo Zhao's men and horses were neither great nor small. They lost nearly 100,000 men, and the morale of the army was exhausted.
The Nanzhou Iron Cavalry also suffered losses. It was impossible not to suffer losses along the way. Those who died in battle, injured horses, illnesses, etc., had a loss of more than 10,000 people!
However, this was a price that had to be paid. Due to their efforts, the troops of the Song State were unable to free their hands and feet to retreat, and they delayed the retreat of the Song State's troops on the road for at least ten more days. For two to three million troops,
It is said that the consumption of extra food and grass for ten days is not a small amount.
To some extent, it is even a fatal key!
On the other side of the Jiang-Song Kingdom in the Eastern Region, the troops of the Yan Kingdom led by Meng Shanming had arrived early and were ready to guard the river defense, making it impossible for the Song Army to easily overcome it.
Luo Zhao was in a panic, facing the crisis of being cut off from food and grass. In addition, he knew that the other party had already cleared the Song Dynasty on a large scale. The Song Dynasty's supplies could not be transported in time. If they could not cross the river in time, the consequences would be disastrous. Even if the two to three million men and horses could not be transported in time, the consequences would be disastrous.
Even if you die in battle, you must starve to death.
Luo Zhao inspected back and forth along the river all day long, intending to look for good opportunities to cross the river.
The Yan army used the same method to deal with him, and it was impossible for him to replicate the miracle of Gunlong Gorge again, and it was impossible for Meng Shanming to let the miracle of Gunlong Gorge happen to the Song army again.
On the one hand, there is no news about the beautiful and beautiful family at home, on the other hand, the army is facing such a crisis, and there is also the pressure that the court will face soon. The anxiety in Luo Zhao's heart is unimaginable to outsiders.
Although there are monks who help to recuperate the body, the heart disease is difficult to cure. The high-spirited Governor Luo and the jade-faced man with a beautiful tree facing the wind are really becoming more and more haggard and thin. Their eyes looking at the river or staring at the map are always filled with bloodshot eyes.
People fell into extreme anxiety.
He simply couldn't sleep or eat well. If it weren't for the help of the monks, he couldn't eat and sleep under the huge pressure, and his body would have collapsed.
The ambition to cross the river and invade the territory of Yan Kingdom had long since disappeared.
Do you regret it? It would be a lie to say that you don’t regret your previous strategic decisions at all.
Luo Zhao really regretted that he should have despised Meng Shanming. The lesson he learned this time was enough to make him unforgettable for the rest of his life!
It can be said that an unprecedented situation has occurred on both sides of the Dongyu River. The Yan State's troops are guarding the Song State's river defense for the Song State, and the Song State's troops are trying to break the Song State's river defense on the Yan State's side. This is putting the cart before the horse.
…
In the mountains and forests, Niu Youdao was holding a piece of intelligence to check the inside information about Song State's secret peace talks with Yan State.
Between countries, the defeats on the battlefield cannot be recovered at the negotiation table. No matter how much you negotiate, it will be useless.
Qian Liansheng, the Song envoy who once insulted Shang Jianxiong naked outside the Yan Palace, lowered his noble head, and finally met Tong Mo after being rejected several times.
In the past, when Yanjing was in crisis, it was Qian Liansheng who opened his mouth, but now it is Tong Mo who acts like a lion and speaks indifferently.
The State of Yan is now confident, and now it is the State of Song that seeks help from the State of Yan.
You can let the Song army go back, but Yan State demands 100 million gold coins and 100,000 carts of grain.
There is another request that seems to be too much. It was made by Shang Jianxiong. Shang Jianxiong insisted on joining the negotiation conditions, and Shang Jianxiong insisted that this was a necessary condition. Others can be negotiated, but there is no room for negotiation on this one.
!
To be honest, even Tong Mo and others thought this request was too much, but Shang Jianxiong insisted so much that Tong Mo had no choice but to implement it.
Emperor Mu Zhuozhen of the Song Dynasty had a concubine who was extremely favored by him. She could be loved by all the emperors of the Song Dynasty. Her beauty can be imagined, and it goes without saying much.
The negotiation condition that Shang Jianxiong insisted on was this concubine, and he asked the Song Dynasty for this concubine!
I would like to ask how Qian Liansheng could agree to this condition. If he really agreed and let Emperor Song suffer such a great shame and humiliation, he would not want to live. Besides, he could not be the master, so he naturally refused, but he also made concessions and could be given away.
A Song Dynasty princess was the woman of Shang Jianxiong.
Shang Jianxiong immediately refused. Are you kidding? If you want Mu Zhuozhen's daughter, wouldn't you be a generation lower than Mu Zhuozhen?
Of course, Qian Liansheng didn't have the confidence to negotiate at all. He knew that the Yan State would still unite with the Song State to resist Korea, so he could bargain.
But Shang Jianxiong must get that concubine. The Song Dynasty likes to bargain, so bargain slowly. Don't be afraid that the Song Dynasty's two to three million elite troops will starve to death on the riverside of the Eastern Region. You can spend it slowly, look.
Who is anxious.
Guan Fangyi arrived with a piece of news in her hand. When she saw what Niu Youdao was holding, she glanced at Yuan Gang who was standing next to her. She knew that the news must have come from Yuan Gang's channel, and said with dissatisfaction and ridicule.
: "Congratulations to Mr. Dao first."
Niu Youdao looked back, "Why are you so happy?"
Guan Fangyi joked: "Congratulations to the Taoist Master and the Prince for becoming brothers-in-law."
"..." Yuan Gang on the side was stunned, thinking that he heard wrongly, and glanced at Niu Youdao, as if he was wondering, could it be that Master Dao has fallen in love with some woman? I didn't hear that the princess had any sisters!
"Uh..." Niu Youdao was also stunned for a moment. He didn't know where he came from. His eyes fell on the paper in her hand and he reached out to get it.
Guan Fangyi conveniently hid the message behind her back and raised her chin towards the message in his hand.
Niu Youdao looked at the information in his hand again and found that there was nothing confidential, so he handed it to her for exchange.
Only when the news came to hand did we know that it was news from the Shang Chaozong.
The Song State obviously knew the decisive role of Shang Chaozong in this war, and even more aware of Niu Youdao's influence on Shang Chaozong. While negotiating with the Yan State court, it also sent people to negotiate with the two of them, and both sides started to attack at the same time.
Niu Youdao is currently trying to find him, but he is afraid that he will not be able to make enough time, so he has contacted the Shang Chaozong, hoping that he will be noble and let Luo Zhao's army go back. The condition given is that he is willing to marry a princess from the Song Dynasty to the Shang Chaozong. He is not unfair to the Shang Chaozong.
He is Niu Youdao, and he is also willing to marry a princess to Niu Youdao.
The message given by Shang Chaozong was that if Niu Youdao had no objection, he would reject it directly.
For Shang Chaozong, no matter how many gifts he gave, it was impossible to show favor to the Song army. They had to achieve the strategic purpose here, and he would not give the Song Dynasty a chance to sow discord between him and the imperial court.
This news made Niu Youdao dumbfounded. If he wanted to marry, would it make sense to him whether she was a princess or not?
He immediately shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Reply the message to the prince and tell him that I am not interested."
Yuan Gang on the side reached out and took the message from Niu Youdao's hand to read it.
Guan Fangyi, who was reading the news on the side, raised her head and said with an unhappy look: "It's really ridiculous. Our women have become negotiation items between countries. How shameless is Shang Jianxiong, the emperor? He openly asks for other people's women.
It is also called a marriage by the euphemistic name. Is this something that the king of a country does? A woman has provoked whomever and is being sent around like an object. It is ridiculous and shameless!"
Niu Youdao sighed: "Are there not many marriages between the countries? How did the Queen Mother Shang Youlan of the Zhao Kingdom marry to the Zhao Kingdom? Due to the Song army's attack, Shang Jianxiong killed so many people in the harem.
Given the opportunity, why should Shang Jianxiong avenge his shame and pass this shame on?"
Guan Fangyi sarcastically said: "If you take possession of Mu Zhuozhen's woman, can you avenge your shame?"
Niu Youdao: "With fine clothes and fine food, thousands of favors gathered in one body, what is enjoyed is the power of a country. The national crisis is our turn. I am afraid that the responsibility cannot be escaped. Those who want to wear the crown must bear its weight!"
Guan Fangyi: "None of you men are good!"
"Uh... Why did you overturn a whole boat with a pole? Doesn't it have anything to do with me? I'm innocent."
"Then what are you talking about as a matter of course?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"That's what you think in your heart. If you become the emperor, you will do the same thing, right? Shameless!"
