After Yun Zheng returned to the back hall in anger, the anger on his face immediately disappeared. When he saw Su Xun drinking tea, he walked over and poured a cup of tea and drank slowly.
Su Xun smiled and said, "Did you see something wrong?"
Yun Zheng nodded and said sadly: "Li Dongchu has completely escaped from me. It will still be impossible for him to obey my orders in the future."
Su Xun smiled brightly and said: "My choice is not wrong. Loyalty to the emperor means loyalty to the country. Your Majesty's family and country are one and worthy of anyone's loyalty. However, you want to cultivate your own direct lineage. In the final analysis, this is a disobedient heart."
"I don't object to Li Dongchu's loyalty to the emperor. At least I am loyal to the emperor in name now. If he wants to leave my control, he only needs to say something. There is no need to put on such a show. It makes me feel that this guy has ulterior motives. No
To tell you the truth, I was already thinking about how to hand over some mortal military affairs to him."
"If Li Dongchu dies, you will soon find that Jiang Zhe is unreliable. From your heart, it is more acceptable for Li Dongchu to abandon you than for Jiang Zhe to abandon you. In this case, why don't you accept it calmly?"
Yun Zheng stopped his tea cup and looked at Su Xun: "Do you think there is no one in this world who can stick to his true heart? Isn't this too absolute? Why do you think people like Jiang Zhe will betray me?"
Su Xun laughed and said: "The reason why people are loyal is because the price of betrayal is too high. If someone deliberately reduces the risk after betrayal, there will be only a handful of people who can keep their true heart.
People are the least able to withstand scrutiny. The walls in people's hearts are not very high. Since ancient times, there are countless examples of people's hearts being conquered. If you place your own safety on others, I think it is better for you to sail away as soon as possible.
At least your wife and children can have a complete home."
Yun Zheng laughed and said, "My master said that you should treat people with sincerity and deal with things with loyalty. Now you have become a traitor among the saint's disciples."
Su Xun said indifferently: "I am Su Xun, not a puppet of anyone's ideas. The word comes from ancient times. Ancient times were also periods of ignorance. The theory of learning has strong timeliness, so the theory of saints is not impeccable.
Even the early masters have not understood the struggle between good and evil. Now, I have read more about the Emperor's Art. What's wrong with quoting some of the words in it?
What's more, these words speak directly to people's hearts and are great practical doctrines. I won't take it to heart if you just slander me."
Yun Zheng bowed his hands to Su Xun in admiration and said: "I will not slander you, I just envy you for being able to see the world so thoroughly now.
Help me keep an eye on Wang Anshi and Chen Lin. These two guys are not here to help me before coming to the army, but to restrain me.
In the past, I always couldn't figure out why Wu Zhidang would do things that hurt relatives and make enemies happy. Now I know that sometimes relatives may not be relatives, and enemies may not be so hateful."
"Since Li Dongchu is no longer reliable, who are you going to rely on? Do you really want to rely on Jiang Zhe? Lang Tan? To be clear, whoever you rely on now will be unlucky in the future.
You went to the sea to rest for a while. They have already taken root in the Song Dynasty. It may not be that easy to leave. Now it is different from the past. Everyone has a high-ranking official and a well-paid family with a great business, and everyone is surrounded by a large group of people who want to eat.
people.
You have deliberately neglected Su Shi and Su Che over the years. Even if I see you only a few times a year, you can think about our family, so why don't you think about them?"
Su Xun didn't know what he was thinking of. After letting out a long sigh, he said what he wanted to say.
Since Yun Zheng returned to Tokyo, in more than two years, Su Shi and Su Zhe have never had the opportunity to visit Yun's house. Even if they came, Yun Zheng always excused himself from seeing him due to illness. They also knew that Mr.
Now that we are on the cusp of the storm, in order not to cause trouble to my husband, I will not go. I will at most send my family members to visit during the New Year and the holidays.
In the late autumn days, Su Xun still held a fan in his hand. The surface of the fan was somewhat faded, but Yun Zheng could still recognize it. This fan was given to Su Shi by himself. The old man deliberately held the fan to increase his
The intensity of speaking.
"If life is just like the first time we met, why is it that the autumn wind draws a fan with sadness, and it is easy to change the heart of an old friend, but the heart of an old friend is easy to change.
Mr. Su, when you were playing chess with me, you were even unwilling to move as a veteran, saying that it was unworthy of a gentleman. Why do such an honest gentleman like you always think the worst about people's hearts now? For this reason, you do not hesitate to do so.
Su Shi and others are here to attack?"
Su Xun sighed and said: "When the knowledge is clear, the mind will also be clear. If my previous knowledge was just a mountain, then he should stand tall and let the wind blow from southeast to northwest. Now my knowledge is like a river.
Then the river should meander straight to the sea.
If you play chess with me now, you will find that my ministers and soldiers can also cross the river, and it is common for veteran generals to fly up and kill the enemy when necessary."
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment and said: "The horse moves in the field, the elephant moves in the sun, as long as you like it, but you are worrying too much, my precautions are a hundred times deeper than you think, so you don't have to think that I
Will be killed by the emperor."
Su Xun chuckled and said, "Han Xin thinks so too."
"I just advised Li Chang yesterday to kill as many people as possible. Don't let this good time for killing people go to waste."
"The heart is dark enough, but the skin is not thick enough, so you can only escape to the sea..."
How can we talk about these secret things without getting wine? Conspiracy under the east window, the rise and fall of honor and disgrace in ancient and modern times with the wine in the cup, and I don’t know how many famous generals have drowned in a sip of wine...
At dawn, Yun Zheng went to the toilet, and all the famous generals who drank wine last night returned to the earth, leaving nothing behind except some unpleasant smell.
After the order was given, the drums were still beaten and the tents were raised. It was very important to quickly enter the wartime state. The Khitan people had already entered the state of war preparations three years ago, and the Xixia people had never had a period of peace. They always
At war...
As the messengers left one after another, the entire Yanmen Pass suddenly became tense, including Yanmen Pass, Shenwu Pass, Hequ Pass, Xixing Pass, Shuozhou, Fengzhou, Linzhou, Wuzhai, Dashizhai, Ruyuezhai, and Hugu
The entire village has been closed, and traffic between the north and the south has been cut off.
Under the orders of General Yun Zheng, the Jingxi Army, the White Horse Army, the Xiongyong Army, the Kelan Army, the Huoshan Army, and the Baode Army, except for the Jingxi Army and the White Horse Army, the remaining four armies in Hedong began to shift their targets.
Opposite is the Xixia Yongjun Division on the left side.
The Suide Army stationed in Linzhou, Fengzhou, Triangle City, Shenquan Village, and Shenmu Village has already directed its troops towards Xixia Yinzhou!
"The veteran Western Xia general Daruhu commanded the left-wing heroic army and was stationed in Yulin for many years, which made my general in the northwest of the Song Dynasty almost breathless. At that time, the general was dissatisfied with the tactics of bribing the enemy by the defenders of Fengzhou and Linzhou.
They had just killed two military commanders. Now, although the Fengzhou and Linzhou border troops have just made some progress, they are still suffering from chronic diseases. It is impossible for them to maintain the suppression of Xixia.
Once the Western Xia Daru Tiger invades south, they will not be able to stop it in the eyes of the generals."
Jiang Zhe had already made clear his identity as deputy general. After Yun Zheng laid out the entire battle situation, he began to express his opinions on the unreasonable aspects.
"If possible, I even want to destroy Xixia first, and then go to the east. However, Xixia is too hard to crack. Once we are in a stalemate with Xixia, we will not be able to achieve results in three to five years. , and the Liao Kingdom will most likely take the opportunity to recuperate and regain its strength."
Yun Zheng sighed and then said: "The Khitans suddenly went from strength to weakness. The time was too short, the incident happened too quickly, and Your Majesty wanted Yan Yun too much, so we had to attack the Khitans first, although this would be inevitable It is inevitable that the Xixia people will take advantage of us."
"If I hadn't hidden this person, I wouldn't have given up." Jiang Zhe heard the helplessness in Yun Zheng's tone, so he had no choice but to say angrily and stop talking.
Wang Anshi said slowly: "Zhong'e's army is still in Huanzhou. Although he is part of the army that attacked Liao, he has to take a detour from Huanzhou to Hedong, so he will be about a year later than us before he goes out. Therefore, there is no need to consider Xixia in the short term."
Lang Tan continued: "The reason why Zhong'e has been able to suppress Xixia in these years is because Fu Bi gave Xixia enough threats in Qingtang. Once Fu Bi's 30,000 cavalry left Qingtang, the Gansu Military Division in Lanzhou would This is a fierce army that can fight tough battles. With such a hungry wolf behind us, the general will always feel unsafe."
"It's just an exchange! If we can trade the desert land in the northwest for Yanyun, this battle will be worth fighting. The threat to the Song Dynasty will always come from the north."
Li Dongchu sat under Jiang Zhe and said slowly. Lang Tan gave Li Dongchu a strange look, then calmed down and stopped talking, looking at Chen Lin in a daze.
"The military strategy has been formulated and the imperial court has approved it. Di Shuai's army is competing with the Beiyuan King of Liao State along the Sanggan River. It's too late to say anything now. All we can do is start from Shuozhou and attack all the way north as planned. , and finally arrived at Gubeikou, completely dividing the Liao people into eastern and western parts.
Lang Tan, you should go first. Your 10,000 people have been at the border for a long time and are familiar with this area. The important task of the pioneer officer is entrusted to you."
While Yun Zheng was talking, he gave Lang Tan the military order written by Su Xun.
"Wei Ge Ning's army..."
Chen Lin interrupted before Lang Tan finished speaking: "This person is no longer important. After you leave, the Yongxing Army will take over your defense. There will be no mistakes. You can fight with peace of mind!"
Lang Tan looked at the smiling Yun Zheng, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head and accepted the order: "General, I will obey!"
"On October 19th, you will leave Shuozhou and march into Datong Mansion in Xijing, Liao Kingdom..." (To be continued)
