Chapter 1002 Talking and talking, but I only know internal worries and don't ask about external trou
It seems that it was because General Lu was too eager to get things done. Xiao Jiasui, who had followed Xiao Tang to Mizhou, frowned slightly. He immediately stood up and said, "Although Mr. Lu's advice to brother has merit, but you don't want to do it."
Do you ever know why my brother wants to act on both sides of the officialdom and the green forest? Why does he support the rebel army in the green forest with a relationship that is like a sea of blood? Nowadays, the court is dominated by traitors, bandits and bandits are rising all over the world, and those who openly rebel against the court are rising up.
, such as Zhang Di in Hebei and Tian Hu in Hedong, although they were under the banner of resisting the imperial court, they were mostly murderous people, and their thieves were also cruel and violent, and the common people were brutally tortured when the thieves crossed
However, he abandoned his family property and had to live in exile.
My brother has raised troops to fight against bandits as a court official several times, just because he doesn’t want those thugs who call themselves heroes to be unscrupulous and do more evil than treacherous officials and evil officials. They only care about harming innocent people, but none of them can seize the world and create it.
The power of a peaceful and prosperous age! If you rebel against the imperial court, you must have too much haste. To compete with the imperial court, you must have sufficient numbers of soldiers and horses, food expenses, and ordnance supplies... Nowadays, although the country's imperial court is fatuous, bad policies such as the Birthday Plan are even more poisonous to the country.
People from all over the Yangtze River, but the Song Dynasty has not yet reached a situation where the big trees are about to fall. As long as people from all over the country find a way to survive, they will not risk their lives to rebel. If Brother Xiaotang accidentally rebels rashly, there will be no recovery.
They have no choice but to force the people to become thieves. If this is the case with Tian Hu and others who stand on their own and bring trouble to one side, what is the difference between them!?"
If you are poor, you can take care of yourself, if you are rich, you can help the world. This sentence can be said to be the most suitable to explain Xiao Jiasui's personal philosophy. After he met Xiao Tang, he was willing to join Ren Xia to help him wholeheartedly, but it was definitely not just to help his brother to rebel.
He went to become emperor for important matters. Regardless of the situation between the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom in the northern region of Liaodong, if Xiao Jiasui found out that Xiao Tang was ambitious and ignored the people's livelihood for his own selfish desires, he would definitely abandon Xiao Tang and go into seclusion and continue to do what he did.
His Xianyun Yehe saw that Lu Jiang, a former imperial student, tried his best to encourage his brother to rebel as soon as he surrendered to Xiao Tang's tent. How could Xiao Jiasui still sit still?
When General Lu heard Xiao Jiasui's refutation, he raised his eyebrows. After asking about Xiao Jiasui's name, General Lu became more energetic and said with some excitement in his tone: "Oh? It turns out to be Mr. Xiao, the commoner swordsman.
It can be said that he has admired his reputation for a long time. But Mr. Xiao also needs to know the principle of breaking and then establishing. As long as a hero can change the dynasty, which one should not rebel and obey? To seek the welfare of the people in the world, that is what one should do when guarding the world.
Heroes will survive if they obey, and perish if they go against them! The only way is to achieve great ambitions and gain power and change, first to reach the top position and then to do benevolent and righteous things! Historically, most of the founding kings were heroes, and which one was conquered by benevolence alone?
All over the world!?
Even if we don’t mention the lord’s status in the court, but only talk about his reputation in the green forest, how can Zhang Di, Tian Hu and even Wang Ze be compared with the lord? People say that the emperor’s wrath will lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles.
, to achieve great things, one must be ruthless! When Mr. Xiao said that the rebellion was carried out too hastily, the people would suffer the disaster of swords and soldiers, but Xiao Ke wanted to ask Mr. Xiao: Are we going to let the traitorous officials and thieves oppress and bully the people?
? Now is not the time to rebel, then when should it be? Since the Lord has supported several rebel troops in the green forest, it is a serious crime to betray the imperial court. An official is a thief, a thief is an official, and an official is not an official.
How long will thieves and non-thieves keep hanging out together!?"
Although they can all be said to be talented and knowledgeable people, Xiao Jiasui, who is broad-minded and generous, has more comprehensive concerns, so he is more prudent when advising Xiao Tang on the general strategic goals for the future. But his temperament
General Lu was a bit extreme, but he was a fierce rebel. The two men had different personalities and ideals, and when they met they started to argue with each other.
It's just that Xiao Jiasui can be regarded as a senior adviser under Xiao Tang. They are all close brothers who have been confidant to each other for a long time. General Lu wants to show his ability to the fullest and refuses to lose even though he uses his words to show off. Now it seems that he is taking the lead.
, which also made the other brothers present a little displeased. They secretly said that the imperial student named General Lu was deposed and expelled from the Piyong Imperial Academy in Bianjing. He really lived up to his reputation as a crazy scholar. In Xiao
The two brothers Tang and Xiao Jiasui were so showy in front of them, and their temperament was a bit annoying.
However, Xiao Tang also knew very well that although General Lu's temperament was somewhat unpleasant, he was indeed a very good counselor from a strategic perspective. According to official historical records, even after Fang La was captured by the imperial conquest army, General Lu took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
, rushed to southern Zhejiang and gathered 70,000 soldiers and horses to continue the uprising, until he was defeated and committed suicide under heavy military suppression. He vowed to carry out the rebellion to the end. Since such a person had already surrendered to his command, there was basically no need for it.
No longer worried that he would have thoughts of betrayal, Xiao Tang thought for a moment, stretched out his hands and pressed it, and said: "Brother General Lu, you know that there are traitorous parties in the country who are taking power and slandering people, causing great chaos in the world.
Do you know what the situation is like in northeastern Liaoning now?"
General Lu was slightly startled. Although he didn't know why Xiao Tang suddenly turned the conversation to the territory of the Liao Kingdom in the north, but listening to the words of the lord in front of him who had decided to surrender, General Lu said truthfully: "Little
But... I know that the leader of the Liao Kingdom is also a confused and confused king. In the northern territory, there are also thieves and heroes. In the first period, Gao Yongchang killed Tokyo and stayed behind to start the Bohai Kingdom. Later, Wanyan Aguda led the Nuzhi Zhuzhi.
The troops also rebelled, and I heard they were resisting the Liao army in the Huanglong Mansion in the north, and they also developed some atmosphere, but why did my lord talk about the current situation in the north?"
"Did the Jurchen tribes unite to form a certain climate? Now the heroic leader Aguda has already established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, taking the name of the country Jin. Huanglong Mansion, an important town in the north of the Liao Kingdom, has also been captured by the Jin Kingdom. The Liao Emperor knew that Huanglong Mansion was lost.
Later, the emperor went on a personal expedition and led an army of hundreds of thousands to attack the Jin. However, he was defeated miserably by the 20,000 Jin army led by Aguda when they met at Hubu Dagang. Bohai native Gao Yongchang had also been destroyed by the Jin army long ago.
It has been merged into the Jin Kingdom...Now, the Liao Kingdom has sent envoys several times to sue for peace. The Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchens is about to take advantage of the situation to advance eastward and annex the entire northern territory. I am afraid that within these four or five years,
The Liao Kingdom will eventually be destroyed by the Jin Kingdom..."
Every time Xiao Tang said something, the look of surprise on General Lu's face became more and more obvious. Not only was the dissemination of news about the current situation in various places somewhat blocked in this time of year, General Lu naturally did not pay attention to the barbarian tribes in Liaodong territory, but he did
It is very clear that the Liao Kingdom is a big country that can compete with the Song Dynasty for more than two hundred years. If the Liao Dynasty is replaced by the foreign tribes from the north, what does it mean for the Song Dynasty?
Xiao Tang then said in a deep voice: "In short, the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty have had no war for a hundred years, but now they are forced into a desperate situation by the Jurchen tribes who have risen in the northeast of Liaoning. At any rate, the Song and Liao countries are wary of each other after the Chanyuan Alliance.
Be careful, but the Liao people have no plans to invade the Central Plains from the south. Now the Liao Kingdom is in danger. If it is replaced by the more ferocious Jin Kingdom, all the foreign countries in the north will covet the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains. The Song Dynasty has a new evil neighbor.
, what will happen then? Based on your talents, Brother General Lu, you should be able to predict it."
General Lu had also promised that Xiao Tang had planted forces in the Liaodong area, but he didn't know the details. Now that he saw the lord in his heart speaking out, General Lu was probably aware of the seriousness of the problem, but in his heart he said that even if the Jin Kingdom
If the Liao Kingdom wanted to go south and invade the Song Dynasty, how could it be so easy for those barbarians to succeed?
After all, the Song Dynasty now claims on paper that it still has millions of forbidden troops, that it is rich and prosperous and far superior to the Liao Kingdom. In addition, not long ago, it fought with Xixia to take over the dangerous Hengshan Mountains, and taught the Xia people to surrender and seek peace. Although General Lu had the intention to rebel,
But he also had some doubts that even if a little-known alien race in the northeast could overthrow the Liao Dynasty, if he destroyed the Liao Dynasty and invaded the Song Dynasty, wouldn't he be greedy and swallow the elephant?
Xiao Tang saw General Lu's hesitant expression and said to himself that according to the official history, the Song Dynasty heard that the Liao Kingdom was about to die, but many people wanted to beat the drowned dog with sticks, and urged the officials and family to join forces with Jin to recapture Yanyun's hometown. Such a strategy does not seem to matter.
question, but after all, there were still too many people in the Song Dynasty court who were blindly optimistic, but ignored the huge threat of the Jin Dynasty. It was not until the Jin army went south that the layer of window paper that was fatal to the country's traitors and corrupt military and political affairs was broken.
...
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang said to General Lu: "After all, the Central Plains is not a time when heroes are vying for the throne. If I formally rise up, the confrontation with the Song Dynasty will only intensify.
The country is in internal strife. How can it be easy to change dynasties? Even if it is possible to achieve great things, it will take at least several years. Even if I can incite the rebellious forces in various places to fight to the death with the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty, the Kingdom of Jin has now experienced successive catastrophes.
The defeat of the Liao Kingdom has been completed. If because of me, I only seek the imperial power and the throne is severely damaged in the Central Plains, but it gives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for foreign thieves to invade the south. Brother Lu, what do you think I should do?
Is he a hero who rose up against tyranny, or is he an eternal sinner who caused the downfall of China?"
General Lu frowned, his expression gloomy, but the wild look on his face gradually faded away, replaced by an extremely solemn look. After a long time, he solemnly saluted Xiao Tang again and said: "After all, what you hear is false.
, Seeing is believing... My lord, I have a cruel request. I heard that the Xun Alliance defeated some powerful men in the North and occupied the island to build a military stronghold with the intention of conquering Liaodong. What is the situation in the North now? I want to go and see it for myself.
Experience it once. If it is true that this little brother only cares about internal worries and does not care about external troubles, and is not like the master and Mr. Xiao who are worried about defending a wall to ward off insults... then this little brother is pretentious and shameful! He is so arrogant and offensive.
