Chapter 1802 The court's potential danger of destroying the country is more than an anti-army?
Xu Guanzhong spoke eloquently, saying bluntly that today there are still many bandits and rebels, but the Song Dynasty regarded his brother as a serious problem, just like Yang Jin, Zhong Xiang, Wang Shan, Cao Cheng, Fan Ruwei and other rebel soldiers.
Although the largest forces were rampant for a while, they were unable to sustain themselves in the face of the encirclement and suppression by the Song army with their own power. Moreover, although they did not conflict with Xiao Tang's troops, they also fought on their own. But now that Song Ting has become a common
The enemies are bound to be able to jointly defeat some of the rebels who are temporarily capable of posing a threat to the Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, the prefectures in the east of Jingdong, Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi are widely occupied by the troops of Xiao and Tang Dynasties. The rebels in the capital, west of Beijing, Huainan, Jinghu, Jiangnan... and other tribes have become fierce again, and the rest have rebelled against the imperial court.
The biggest disadvantage of the power is that it is divided into one side. Although it is said to be against the tyranny of the government, the way forward is unclear and I don’t know how to go back. At the same time, it occupies various states and counties, and it is difficult to continue to fight against the country that still occupies most of the country.
The Song Dynasty lasted for a long time, at most three to five years, and it was probably inevitable that it would still be able to withstand the encirclement and suppression by the official army. However, if Xiao Tang came forward to send help, give instructions and guidance, and support one of the forces to become stronger, the Song army would be attacked from both sides and would still have to waste its military strength.
With huge financial resources, Xiao Tang is attacking Xiao Tang, but how long can he hold on?
Without the continued support from the Song court, the three Song armies Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, and Zhang Jun had appeared at Quduan on the western border, which not only caused many soldiers of the Western Army to mutiny, but also caused rebellion.
What's more critical is that even if the other Song Imperial Forbidden Army generals have not rebelled, most of them are in a wavering mood. Zhang Jun wants to use both kindness and power to win over the hearts of the Song soldiers, and he must be in trouble internally and externally in the short term.
It was unable to pose any substantial threat to the rebels headed by Han Shizhong, who were mostly former Western Army generals. As for Liu Guangshi, he only needed to deploy a few rebel troops to guard several key passes under Jingdong Road to prepare for them.
If they are on guard against each other, it is unlikely that they can even fight; only the Song army of Zhang Jun, who belongs to the fierce general Yang Yizhong, takes advantage of the situation to advance towards Huguan, and seems to be able to control Hedong.
The volunteers from various tribes were somewhat threatened, but although Li Xiaozhong had suffered some losses in the previous encounter with Yang Yizhong, the infantry battalions of the Jingnan Army had not suffered heavy casualties, so he mobilized several groups of volunteers to coordinate the resistance, and then used his skills in defense
Li Xiaozhong, who was in charge of the battle, was in charge of maintaining a solid defense system. It must have been difficult for the Song generals Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong and others to break through.
However, no matter what the name of the rebellion is, more or less, it will still make the people of the Song Dynasty who were originally exploited and oppressed even more miserable due to military disasters and banditry. Xu Guanzhong certainly spared no effort in planning for his brother, but with
In terms of his nature, he is by no means one of those ruthless and poisonous people who seek to hit the mark and achieve their goals regardless of the consequences. As long as the plan can be successful, they will kill tens of thousands of people without blinking an eye.
Xu Guanzhong had already planned to pay off all the variables. If he wanted to minimize the disaster caused by the rebellion to the local people, then the rebel force he planned to support must also be willing to obey his brother's instructions and be able to do so.
They communicated with each other in a timely manner, instead of desperately trying to fight to the death with the Song army. They had to constantly search and plunder food and military supplies, recruit soldiers, and then use all their resources to invade and plunder the people everywhere, burn, kill, loot, and force the people to join thieves.
.
As for which road gathered more people and became more arrogant, it had already been regarded as a thorn in Song Ting's side and a thorn in the flesh. At the same time, after speculation and analysis, it was most likely to be willing to rely on Xiao Tang's rebel forces. Xu Guanzhong also had a suitable choice.
Choice. When Xu Guanzhong made it clear, Xiao Tang immediately said yes, expressing his deep approval of Xu Guanzhong's decision to lobby the anti-military force for alliance first...
After adopting Xu Guanzhong's advice, Xiao Tang thought about it for a moment, and then said: "The generals and subordinates of the army are waiting for my order. In a few days, they will lead their troops according to the order. Before that, I will send the flying pigeon document to
Sitting in the east of Jingdong, the brothers camped in Shaanxi, and they managed to capture the captured Song generals Sun Wo and Li Qiong alive, and sent troops and horses to escort them to Longde Mansion without making any mistakes. Brother Li Xiaozhong from Hedong
At the same time, he also taught him to send sergeants to negotiate with Zhang Jun, that is, our army is willing to send Sun Wo and Li Qiong back, but must recover Dang Shixiong's brother... and Dang Shiying's corpse.
Two-phase exchange.
At any rate, since Zhang Jun was able to take on the important task of the imperial court and become the general in command of a Song army, he must also be aware of the sophistication of people in the officialdom. Dang Shixiong is just a camp general of our army. To him, he is
He was escorted to the court to claim credit, but he did not get a big reward. It was not that he hated Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi. Instead, he did a favor. As for the two exchanges, after the captured generals were exchanged, they wanted to fight.
It’s better to stop fighting, I’ll do whatever you want.”
Sun Wo and Li Qiong, one is the military envoy of Qinfeng Road, and the other is the military officer of Huainan East Road. Dang Shixiong is only a partial general in the Jingnan Army in terms of military rank, although he is now a general.
They are united in the cause of justice, but to put it bluntly, they are not indispensable leaders under Xiao Tang. Even compared with other brave tiger generals who have repeatedly made meritorious deeds, they are a bit inconspicuous. Take Sun Wo and Li Qiong.
For Zhang Jun, exchanging the body of Dang Shixiong and his compatriot brother Dang Shiying was nothing more than releasing a leader who was attached to the rebels and acted according to orders, but had no ability to influence the situation of the battle.
The generals who were ordered by the imperial court to lead a group of troops in battle will have to take care of each other no matter whether openly or secretly. But for Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Sun Wo, and Li Qiong, they have lost real favors, which is obviously more important than escorting them.
A thief with no obvious reputation would benefit more from asking for credit from the imperial court. Zhang Jun must be able to figure this out.
When all the brothers present heard Xiao Tang's arrangement, they all thought that their brother had a deep sense of loyalty. Regardless of his ability or friendship, since he was a brother who worked together for a great cause, he must do his best to rescue and rescue him.
Dang Shixiong was in the hands of the Song army. As for the Song generals Sun Wo and Li Qiong who were captured successively, it was inappropriate to kill them if they fell into their hands. They were unwilling to let them go, but the two of them could not restrain them when they attacked and robbed the camp at Quduan.
The army was defeated and captured easily, so he was not a good general who was good at commanding troops and generals. It is said that Li Qiong was brave and capable, and he was also a lieutenant general, but it seemed that he was not as good as his peers.
His colleague Wang Yaksha and Wang De were so brave and extravagant, and if they were given back, they would probably still have to obey Liu Guangshi's cowardly behavior, so he might as well be sent away as a bargaining chip in exchange for Dang Shixiong's return.
However, Xiao Tang certainly wants to save Dang Shixiong as much as possible. It seems that Sun Wo, who seems to be the highest-status and most famous manager of the party, has not done any earth-shattering deeds according to the official history.
Of course, it is also the most suitable price to exchange for Dang Shixiong. But Li Qiong, no matter whether it is necessary to use him as a supplement when negotiating with Zhang Jun for the exchange of prisoners of war, or to create opportunities even if there is no chance, Xiao Tang is single-mindedly planning to bring him back.
He kicked him back.
Even if it is possible to persuade Li Qiong to submit and surrender now, fortunately, this guy has no intention of being subdued yet. According to Xiao Tang's estimation, if Li Qiong plans to surrender now, then his role for me will be far more than greatly reduced.
For now, I will never kill you, but I won't even plan to recruit you. Before you do some things in the official history, just get out of here. Wait until I finish what you should do.
It's all done. If I plan to go somewhere else, given the current situation, the only force I can use is me...
Although the current situation in the world has long deviated from its original trajectory, Li Qiong is still the same Li Qiong, Liu Guangshi is still the same Liu Guangshi, and Wang De is still the same Wang De. Everyone has their own temperament, and the generals within the Song Army have subtle thoughts about each other.
Nothing has changed. For example, Wu Jie will still instigate Zhang Jun to murder the general Qu Duan. Some historical events that originally broke out due to disagreements among the generals within the Song army during the overlapping period of the Song Dynasty are still very likely to happen now.
.....For example, in the official history, the "Huaixi Military Rebellion" occurred due to an army mutiny and rebellion, which caused the Song Army's Jianghuai important areas to suddenly fall into a defenseless state, and also led to the Southern Song Dynasty's forced change in its strategy towards the Jin Kingdom. As the leader of that mutiny,
If Li Qiong, the leader, wants to surrender now, then who can help me instigate another large-scale rebellion against the Song army?
