Although the scene is a bit embarrassing, Zhong Shizhong has been in charge of the Western Army for a long time, and he also knows that although many generals in the Western Army are brave and good at fighting, they have more stubborn tempers. "Unless they can shock the army with their true abilities when fighting together,
Or capture the flag and kill the general to convince them. So although he scolded Qu Duan, he didn't go into it deeply.
When all kinds of delicious dishes and aged wines were placed on the table, although the delicate and easy-going Zheyan character among Han Cumbao, Yan Qing and the planting master eased the situation, Xiao Tang's other close subordinates and the planting master
The generals of the Western Army under Zhong's command were obviously already secretly competing with each other.
There is no other reason. Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Xuan Zan, Han Tao and others all followed Xiao Tang to appease Jingnan. They were all Zepao comrades who had gone to war together. Yang Zhi's abilities and his hard work
Hua Rong and others took it seriously. Seeing Yang Zhi being humiliated, these comrades and colleagues who had experienced fighting together felt the same hatred for him, so they would naturally complain for him.
However, officers and generals of the Western Army such as Qu Duan and Zhe Yanye who came from strong backgrounds. Among the millions of forbidden troops in the Eight Hundred Military Prefectures of the Song Dynasty, the Western Army was the most powerful and good at fighting. While they were proud of their background in the Western Army, they also subconsciously
He despises generals from other military factions. This is understandable. I belong to whichever army I belong to. This kind of competitive mentality among the military is not uncommon in later generations.
Therefore, the generals on both sides stared wide-eyed and tried to distinguish the superior from the inferior. When the needles were pointed against each other, they also tried to determine the winner in the wine fight at the wine table.
Here, Xiao Tang had a pleasant conversation with the leader of the Western Army in Zhongshi. Zhongshi was also a serious general and commander. After several conversations with Xiao Tang, they seemed to be in harmony. Hearing Xiao Tang talk about the military affairs in the northwest, he
He also opened his chatterbox and said: "Marquis Xiao Du Yu, today you said that Xixia should be attacked, but it is not the best time to send troops. So according to what you said, when is the most appropriate time to send troops?"
Inexplicably, Xiao Tang felt very close to Master Zhong, because when Father Xiao was still alive, that seemingly stern and rigid elder would often ask questions like this to see how Xiao Tang would answer.
, and then make a detailed comment based on what Xiao Tang said. Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel a little moved. He raised a glass of wine and said: "I have admired these two strategic ministers for a long time, and today I am very happy to see you. I also have a younger brother."
I would like to ask you, since I am the uncle and nephew of Han Jiedu, I wonder if I can also call Mr. Xiao Zhong my uncle instead of my official position?"
Master Zhong was slightly startled, he and Han Cunbao looked at each other, and the two of them smiled. Then Master Zhong also picked up the quilt, touched the wine cup that Xiao Tang had raised, and said with a smile: "My nephew hasn't answered yet."
What my uncle asked me."
Xiao Tang, who was slightly drunk, was very happy when he heard what Zhong Shizhong said. After he and Zhong Shizhong finished their drinks, he thought about it for a while and said: "As the saying goes, the troops attack the city first, and the soldiers attack the city.
The biggest barrier to Xixia was not only Hengshan, but also Daliao, which dominated the north. The Song Dynasty did not know how to recuperate and replenish the Western army. When Daliao had no time to take care of it, it just took down Hengshan in one go, and had already choked the Xia people.
."
According to historical facts, in the fourth year of Zhongzhenghe, Tongguan and Zhongshidao jointly attacked the Liao Dynasty. It was also because the Jurchen Wanyan Aguda began to raise troops and the Liao Kingdom was also in a state of distress and had no time to take care of it. As a result, Xixia once again surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
Of course, the war was also extremely tragic, but after several years of recuperation and reorganization, the Song Dynasty, whose overall national strength was far superior to that of Xixia, finally made it impossible for Xixia to recover in that battle.
As for the conspiracy theory involving the Liao Kingdom, not only Xiao Tang himself did not care about the identity of the Khitan people, but also Zhongshi Daozhong and others did not care. Even Gao Qiu and other sycophants who were interested in suppressing Xiao Tang did not care about this matter.
Write a big article.
Han Yu of the prosperous Tang Dynasty said, "When the Barbarians and Di came to China, they would conquer China; if China entered the Barbarians and Di, they would conquer by Barbarians." In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the distinction between Huayi and Barbarians did not attach much importance to blood origin in the officialdom.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were Gao Xianzhi from the Goguryeo tribe, Hei Te Changzhi from the Korean tribe, Ge Shuhan from the Turkic tribe, Li Guangbi from the Khitan tribe, Hu Yanshi, the founding general of the Song Dynasty, and Zhejia general from the northwest frontier army, etc.
They are all from Dangxiang, Xianbei and other ethnic groups. Even if they are suppressing political opponents, no one will bother with this matter. After all, no matter how loyal and loyal the ministers are, the people they are plotting are the country and the country. In terms of vision, they will never care about these things like the rogues in the market.
.
As for the Xiao and Tang Dynasties, it didn’t matter. Regardless of whether they were Khitan people in the Song Dynasty, they would still be Chinese people later on. He still remembered that in college, there was a buddy whose parents were from the Daur ethnic group, which has the closest blood relationship to the Han and Khitan people. He went home during the holidays.
During the Agnie Festival, Kumul Festival and Smear Festival in my hometown, I would go back to school and discuss the history of China with others. During the Chinese studies, I could always convince others.
After listening to Xiao Tang's words, the master of the field nodded as expected, and he said impassionedly: "Since the reign of Jingyou, we, the Song Dynasty, have fought and killed the Xia people four times. In addition, there have been countless bloody battles on the border, not to mention
Xixia has Helan Mountain as a barrier, controlling the throat of the Western Region, and the rebellions among the Qiang people are mostly caused by Xixia. If Xixia can be defeated in one fell swoop, we can eliminate sixty-seven of the military disasters in the Song Dynasty.
But if the century-old border troubles in the northwest are to be quelled in one day, we must not rush for a while. Now that the Western Army has insufficient military strength, it will waste national power in vain and will be of no benefit to our Song Dynasty. But if we have enough troops and food, we will be ready for everything.
We should take all the Hengshan Mountains to scare the Xia people and protect us, the Song Dynasty, for everlasting peace. Haha, don’t I have such a heart to serve the country with all my fists?"
When he said this, the gleam in Master Zhong's eyes skyrocketed. Although he was an elder in his fifties, he suddenly looked like an awe-inspiring and inviolable general!
Xiao Tang couldn't help but feel excited after hearing what Master Zhong said. People like Master Zhong were indeed worthy of being the generals who commanded the heroes of the Western Army. He raised his glass, drank it down, and said: "The Zhong family has been a hero for generations.
There are many heroes in the Western Army. My nephew has admired them for a long time! It would be a pleasure to join hands with Uncle Shi in fighting and serving the country."
After all, although Xiao Tang has experienced battlefield fighting, he is not on the same level as Zhongshi who ordered the generals of the Western Army to fight with Xixia, Qiang tribes and other forces. He and Zhongshi, Han Cunbao, originally drank wine
He was talking happily, but after a while, he suddenly heard Xuan Zan slamming the table, pointing at Qu Duan and others and angrily saying: "We are both Wu Erlang of the Song Dynasty, but what can you do with the bravery of the Western Army!
?It should be noted that we are also heroes who work for the country in exchange for our national salary. We are not willing to accept your arrogance! If you want to do it right, just draw the line!"
I saw some things today that greatly affected my status. The update is a little slow and missing. I apologize. But again, I have to grit my teeth and persevere in this book to write better. Song Jiang's poem in Water Margin is inexplicably...
It fits my current mood: I have conquered classics and history since I was a child, and I have become powerful when I grow up. Just like a tiger crouching on a barren hill, with its minions lurking to endure it. Unlucky tattoos on both cheeks, he is worthy of being in Jiangzhou. If he can avenge his grievances in his youth,
