Chapter 0812 The key figure who can reverse the Western war situation
The report asking for help was quickly sent back to Bianjing City.
After Zhao Zhen received the report, he was stunned for a long time, and then ordered Chen Lin to summon Kou Ji, Lu Yijian and others into the palace.
Kou Ji was the first to enter the palace. When he arrived at Zishi Hall, Zhao Zhen handed Kou Ji a report from Zhong Shiheng asking for help with a complicated expression.
Kou Ji took the memorial, glanced at it, and was slightly stunned. Then he quickly picked up the memorial and started reading it carefully. After finishing it, he held the memorial and did not speak for a long time.
Lu Yijian entered the palace for the second time. After entering the palace, he saw Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji sitting there without saying a word, and looked at them suspiciously for a long time.
Kou Ji handed the report to Lu Yijian smoothly.
Lu Yijian subconsciously took the memorial and read it. After reading it, her reaction was similar to Kou Ji's.
Subsequently, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai and Li Zhaoliang entered the palace one after another.
After entering the palace, a report from Zhong Shiheng was circulated.
After reading it, my reaction was similar to Kou Ji's.
A few people looked at each other, and they were silent for a long time.
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but said: "Tell me, what does the Black Khan King Yu Sufu mean? There is no need to use the good things to attack from a flank, but he must take the lead in attacking the Song Dynasty.
Does he think that the troops of the Black Khan Dynasty are enough to compete with the troops of the Song Dynasty?"
Lu Yijian pondered: "He should have thought so, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted to launch an offensive in advance before Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty led his troops south."
Wang Zeng hesitated and said: "If Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty wants to lead his troops to the south, he will have to wait until March next year at least. In these three and a half months, if we defeat the troops of the Black Khan Dynasty, then Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty will
Will you give up attacking our Song Dynasty?"
Zhang Zhibai frowned and said: "The total troops of the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are as many as 800,000. We have 50,000 forbidden troops in Hexi and 30,000 local troops. The total is only 80,000. The number of troops is ten times
The gap makes it impossible to defeat the troops of the Black Khan Dynasty.
When our troops from other places are deployed to Shazhou, it may take at least half a month, and at most three to five months.
Therefore, it will be difficult for us to defeat the troops of the Black Khan Dynasty before March next year.
Even if we defeated the troops of the Black Khan Dynasty, Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty would not give up attacking the Song Dynasty.
Because his purpose of attacking the Song Dynasty this time was to buy time for his son Yelu Zongzhen to grow up.
So even if there is no Black Khan dynasty, he will lead his troops to fight against the Song Dynasty."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
After Zhang Zhibai's words came to light, Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "It has become a foregone conclusion that the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom will attack the Song Dynasty together, so it is meaningless to say this now.
The Black Khan Dynasty launched an attack in advance, which was both beneficial and harmful to our Song Dynasty.
The advantage is that the Black Khan Dynasty launched an attack on our Song Dynasty in advance. As long as our Song Dynasty can block the attack of the Black Khan Dynasty and hold back the Black Khan Dynasty, then Yelu Longxu of the Liao Kingdom will lead his troops to attack our country.
During the Song Dynasty, the pressure from the east-west pincer attack would be greatly reduced.
The harm is that the Black Khan Dynasty launched an attack in advance, which was different from our previous deployment. We did not deploy enough troops and horses on the border of Shazhou in time. Therefore, it is difficult to compare the war between the Black Khan Dynasty and our Song Dynasty.
Keep out of the country.
When we, the Song Dynasty, were dispatching our troops and generals, the troops of the Black Khan Dynasty would definitely overwhelm our Song Dynasty, so we, the Song Dynasty, would definitely suffer some losses at the beginning of the war.
When necessary, the troops and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty must be brought in to fight."
After Koji said this, Wang Zeng said with an ugly face: "Once the troops of the Black Khan Dynasty enter the country, the fertile fields, woods, and orchards in Hexi will most likely be completely destroyed.
Li Di's many years of operation in Hexi will be destroyed in one day.
Li Di may be in a bad mood."
Lu Yijian frowned and said: "The fertile fields, woods, and orchards have been destroyed, but they can still be rebuilt. But if the people are gone, then everything will be gone."
Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "Li Di is over seventy this year. No one can say how many more years he can stay in Hexi. Once the things he manages are destroyed, it is very likely that he will never see him again in this life.
The scene of recovery.”
As soon as Wang Zeng said these words, everyone in Zishi Hall fell into silence.
After a long time.
Kou Ji said: "Then I will rush to Hexi and have a detailed talk with Li Gong. Li Gong's heart is in Sheji, and he should understand that the destruction of the fertile fields, woods, and orchards in Hexi is a last resort."
"Why……"
Wang Zeng sighed and said no more.
In the face of major national and political affairs, personal feelings are nothing at all.
Seeing that no one spoke, Kou Ji continued: "Since the Black Khan Dynasty intends to launch an attack on the Song Dynasty before the Liao Kingdom takes action, the Song Dynasty must respond immediately.
According to the previous deployment, once the troops of the Black Khan Dynasty arrive at the border of the Song Dynasty, the Yongxing Army will immediately be dispatched to Shazhou to rush to support the Suppressing Western Army.
The entire northern army must rush to Shazhou as soon as possible.
The Yongzitou Forbidden Army in Yongzhou also had to rush to the battlefield in the Western Regions later.
The newly built Forbidden Army in Dali was dispatched to Jianchang Mansion.
On the one hand, it deters Xiaoxiao in the country, and on the other hand, it deters Qingtang.
If Qingtang doesn't take action, that's fine. If they do, the newly formed Imperial Army will rush into Qingtang and give Qingtang a head-on blow.
In addition, since the Black Khan Dynasty has launched an attack on our Song Dynasty.
Then after the beginning of spring, Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty would definitely lead his troops southward.
We, the Liangjingliangyong in the northeast of the Great Song Dynasty, should immediately break up camp and rush to the Song and Liao border areas to take up positions.
Local soldiers and horses in the northeast should also rush to the border immediately.
In addition, the Zhendong Army stationed in Dengzhou should also move up the coast."
"Where is the Zhenbei Army?"
Zhang Zhibai asked.
Kou Jidao: "The Zhenbei Army continues to stay in the northern border to prevent Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty from sending troops to attack our northern border in the Song Dynasty."
Lu Yijian said in a deep voice: "In this way, except for the Zhennan Army stationed in Leizhou, all other troops in our Song Dynasty have been mobilized."
Kou Ji nodded and said: "We are currently facing two strong enemies, and they may become three in the future, so we must go all out."
Lu Yijian nodded and said no more.
To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself. Lu Yijian still understands this truth.
What is about to start is an unprecedented national war.
The Song Dynasty cannot hold back. Once it holds back, it will most likely give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, so it must press forward with all its strength.
After Kou Ji finished speaking, Zhao Zhen said: "After the war breaks out, the fourth brother will rush to Hexi to take charge, and I will go to Zhending Mansion. Before I leave, I will appoint Zhao Run as the crown prince.
Lu Aiqing, Wang Aiqing, and Zhang Aiqing, you three are responsible for supervising the country."
Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, and Zhang Zhibai looked at each other after hearing this.
Lu Yijian took the initiative to invite Ying and said, "I'll go to Zhending Mansion."
Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "My decision has been made."
"Official..."
Lu Yijian and the other three became a little nervous.
Wang Zeng said solemnly: "In the official family, Zhong Shiheng is now in Shazhou, and Di Qing will go to Shazhou later. Zhu Neng is in Dali and has to guard against Dali and Qingtang, so he cannot be transferred.
Privy Kou will also go to Shazhou later.
The only ones who rushed to Zhending Mansion were Li Zhaoliang and Wang Kai.
Therefore, it is better to leave the errands of Zhending Mansion to Lu Yijian."
The implication.
Once the war between the east and the west started in the Song Dynasty.
On the other side of Shazhou, there are many soldiers and generals.
As for Zhending Mansion, there are enough soldiers and horses, and they are strong enough, but the generals are not broad enough.
Although Li Zhaoliang and Wang Kai are generals, they are not handsome men.
Charging into battle is okay, but controlling the overall situation is a bit lacking.
Therefore, it would be very dangerous for Zhao Zhen to go to Zhending Mansion to take charge.
Li Zhaoliang curled his lips slightly when he heard Wang Zeng belittle him indirectly, but said nothing.
My family knows their own affairs.
When the Song Dynasty conquered Xixia, he led the troops alone and suffered heavy losses, and he realized that he had no talent as a commander.
If Zhao Zhen really entrusted him with his wealth and life, he might not be able to keep it.
In order to avoid becoming the sinner of the entire Song Dynasty, he did not dare to act like a hero and jump out to refute Wang Zeng's words.
After Zhao Zhen heard what Wang Zeng said, he said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because of this that I have to go and take charge personally. Only in this way can the morale of the army be boosted."
Zhang Zhibai said seriously: "The safety of the official family involves the safety of the entire Song Dynasty. I do not approve of the official family taking risks."
Zhao Zhen solemnly said: "My dear friends, please be at ease. I am going to Zhending Mansion to take charge, not to dangerous places such as Shuozhou, so there is no fear of life. I will leave the war to Li Zhaoliang and Wang Kai, and I will not interfere."
.
I just sit in the rear and tell the soldiers in the front that I am with them.
If they were defeated, my life would be in danger.
After I ascended the throne, I took good care of the soldiers.
I believe that the soldiers will fight to the end against the Liao people for my life."
Hearing this, Lu Yijian and the other two people still shook their heads.
Their attitude was very resolute, but they were unwilling to let Zhao Zhen go to the battlefield.
Zhao Zhen had no choice but to look at Kou Ji for help.
Zhao Zhen's purpose of going to the battlefield was not just to boost morale, he also wanted to use this to lure Emperor Yelu Longxu of Liao to pave the way for Liu Heng's sneak attack on Liao.
So he must go.
Kou Ji felt Zhao Zhen's look for help, thought for a moment, and said: "You three, this war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom is aimed at keeping the enemy outside the country, rather than defeating the enemy and taking back Yan.
Cloud Sixteen States.
So the emphasis is on defense, not offense.
After the officials go to Zhending Mansion, they only need to stay in Zhending Mansion and do not need to go anywhere else.
Therefore, the official family will not have to worry about their lives."
Lu Yijian and the other three looked shocked when they heard this.
Lu Yijian hurriedly asked: "Don't we, the Song Dynasty, conquer the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop this time?"
Kou Ji slowly shook his head, "Two sides are fighting, with millions of soldiers and horses fighting fiercely. After we defeat the enemy, we can counterattack on one side, which is already good. Counterattacking on both sides at the same time is simply impossible.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu is a sick tiger. As long as we resist the Liao's attack this time, the Liao will have nothing to fear in the future.
The Black Khan King Yu Sufu is different from Qingtang Zanpujiao Siluo.
They are two strong wolf kings.
We defeated them this time, if we can't take the opportunity to counterattack them.
After they have recovered their strength, if we, the Song Dynasty, try to counterattack again, the price we have to pay will be even greater.
Therefore, if we successfully block the enemy this time and want to counterattack, we must also counterattack Qingtang and the Black Khan Dynasty.
After we have dealt with the Qingtang and Black Khan dynasties and freed up our hands, it will not be too late to deal with the Liao Kingdom."
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Lu Yijian and the other three fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Kou Ji continued: "If we plan this way, we will be more certain of victory. Two quiet and two eternal, if the 200,000 forbidden troops are just to guard against the Liao soldiers, the losses will be very small.
If we counterattack the Liao Kingdom, we will suffer huge losses.
It is possible to fail.
What if we wait until we capture Qingtang and the Black Khan Dynasty and then concentrate our forces to counterattack the Liao Kingdom?
We can send more troops and horses to counterattack the Liao Kingdom.
By then the losses will be smaller.
Recovering Yanyun is like picking something out of a bag."
Lu Yijian heard what Kou Ji said and said in a deep voice: "I agree with your idea, but the officials should not leave Bianjing City, let alone go to the dangerous places of the military."
Kou Ji stared at Lu Yijian and said: "The officials rushed to Zhending Mansion to boost morale. As someone who has overseen the army and been on the battlefield, you should understand. For many soldiers, more morale will lead to more success.
Some confidence in winning.
We, the Song Dynasty, are facing enemies on two sides this time, and neither side can be defeated.
Therefore, if you can win some morale, you must win more."
Lu Yijian fell into silence after hearing this.
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said: "The official family can't go. There is no one in charge of the overall situation in the northeast. I can go and invite people."
Hearing this, Kou Ji frowned slightly, "Does the prince want to go to Wenchang Academy and invite Mr. Cao to come out?"
Wang Zeng nodded without hesitation and said: "Cao Wei made great military achievements during his time in the army. He presided over the external war situation of our Song Dynasty many times. Asking him to come forward to take charge of the overall situation in the northeast should be absolutely safe.
In this way, the officials no longer need to go to Zhending Mansion to take charge."
Kou Ji frowned.
The same is true for Li Zhaoliang.
Li Zhaoliang stared at Wang Zeng and said: "Uncle Cao Shi has been fighting for many years and has suffered countless wounds, both visible and hidden. As early as when we, the Song Dynasty, sent troops to conquer Shuozhou and other places, he had already shown signs of fatigue.
Now after all these years, Cao Shishu has reached the point where he has run out of fuel.
Now it's all up to one breath.
If he leaves Bianjing City, he will undoubtedly die."
Lu Yijian said solemnly: "If you die for the official family, you will deserve to die."
Li Zhaoliang was a little annoyed, "I'm afraid he won't be able to reach Zhending Mansion and will die on the road. Do you want him to follow the example of Zhe Weizhong and use his corpse to suppress the border area?"
Is there no one left in our Song Dynasty? Do we have to force a dying person to die?
Is there no one left in our Song Dynasty? Do you have to let a loyal and good person bleed dry and then sacrifice his body?"
When Lu Yijian heard this, he closed his mouth with an ugly expression.
Zhao Zhen knocked on the table and said: "That's enough, I have made my decision. I will go to Zhending Mansion in person to take charge. You don't need to persuade me anymore, and you don't need to argue anymore."
"Official?!"
Lu Yijian and the other three shouted in a deep voice.
Zhao Zhen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Three dear friends, they have worked hard and accomplished great things. I respect you three in my heart. So I rarely give you three looks. But it doesn't mean that I won't look at them."
My three dear friends, don't force me to show you my face.
Zhe Weizhong led the Song Dynasty and used corpses to control the border areas. It was cited as a legend and was widely praised among the people.
I think this is a shame.
If I am still alive, Zhongliang should not be allowed to use my bones to help me defend the country.
If something like this happens once, I already feel unworthy of Zhongliang.
If it happens again, I will never feel at ease in my life."
Having said this, Zhao Zhen stood up slowly, "Even if I, the Song Dynasty, need to use corpses to suppress the border areas, I should use mine instead of Zhongliang's."
When Lu Yijian and the other three heard this, they felt mixed emotions.
Kou Ji stood up and shouted loudly, "The official sage!"
Lu Yijian and the others glared at Kou Ji fiercely.
"Neither grandma nor grandson are good people!"
Lu Yijian and the three of them complained in their hearts.
The old man deceived the emperor into going to the battlefield, and so did the young man.
Lu Yijian glared at Kou Jida and said, "When will you go to Hexi?"
Lu Yijian felt that Kou Ji must be sent out of Bianjing as soon as possible.
As soon as Kou Ji left, they continued to exhort Zhao Zhen, and their interest could change Zhao Zhen's attitude.
Kou Ji guessed Lu Yijian's thoughts, but did not expose them.
In the eyes of Lu Yijian and others, it is very dangerous for Zhao Zhen to go to Zhending Mansion, because no one is in charge of the overall situation of the war in the northeast. With the support of Li Zhaoliang and Wang Kai alone, he is likely to be defeated.
But Kou Ji knew that Zhao Zhen still had a card in his hand that he could use.
There are three words Gao Chugong written under the card.
Although Gao Chugong is older than Cao Wei, his body is stronger than Cao Wei's.
It won't be a problem to live another seven or eight years.
With Gao Chugong presiding over the situation in the northeast, and Zhao Zhen taking charge, everything should be safe.
This is also the reason why Kou Ji put Zhong Shiheng, Di Qing, Zhu Neng, and Chen Yaozi all on the war in the west.
Faced with Lu Yijian's question, Kou Ji smiled and said, "I may need a few more days."
Lu Yijian glared and said, "The enemy's 800,000 troops have arrived at the door. What are you waiting for?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "In a moment, I will go to the Privy Council and issue a troop deployment document to Di Qing, ordering Di Qing to take the Yongxing Army to rescue Zhong Shiheng. The Yongxing Army in Di Qing's hand, plus Zhong Shiheng's hand
The Zhenxi Army here should be able to withstand the coalition forces of the Black Khan Dynasty and Liao Kingdom for some days."
Lu Yijian shouted: "I just want to know when you are going?"
Kou Ji shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not familiar with military affairs. Does it make any difference if I go early or go late? Even if I go to the Western Regions, I won't go to Shazhou first. I will go to Qingtang first and beat the horns.
.
It is best to dispel the idea of Jiao Siluo taking advantage of the situation.
In this way, it will be easier for us, the Song Dynasty, to deal with the enemy."
Lu Yijian glared at Kou Ji again and said nothing.
After the dispersion of the dynasty.
Kou Ji hurried back to his house.
After entering the mansion, he asked Lu Ming.
"When will those big cannibals arrive in Bianjing City?"
Lu Ming bowed and said, "It may take another ten days."
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Send someone to tell them that they can't reach Bianjing within five days, so I won't pay attention to them anymore."
Lu Ming agreed and quickly went down to give orders.
Not long ago, news came back from Jiaozhi that Cao Li had defeated the giant cannibal and completely conquered Jiaozhi.
Kou Ji immediately sent people to find out the news about the cannibal.
After some investigation, Kou Ji got the news that the cannibals headed by Gargamel quietly withdrew from Jiaozhi and arrived in Yongzhou as early as when Cao Li had conquered most of Jiaozhi.
They left behind Ma Muliu Ke and some loyal believers to lead the troops in Jiaozhi to fight against Cao Li.
They hid in Yongzhou and planned a way out.
After Jiaozhi was completely captured by Cao Li, they naturally couldn't hide it.
After Kou Ji dug them out, he ordered Chen Yaozi to warn them and ordered them to go to Bianjing City.
The big cannibals headed by Gargamel knew that they could not fight against Kou Ji in the Song Dynasty, so they could only pack up their things and rush to Bianjing City.
Kou Ji was in no hurry to leave Beijing just to see them.
They also hid a strong army at the border between the Black Khan Dynasty and the Yuanshan tribe.
Kou Ji felt the need to take advantage of it.
In fact, in the battle of Jiaozhi, the losses suffered by the cannibals were not large.
The number of troops they invested from beginning to end was only 3,000 horses and horsemen.
Those who stir things up in Jiaozhi are believers who originated from Jiaozhi.
Therefore, in Jiaozhi, they only lost 3,000 horse and muliu guest cavalry.
During this period, they did not request the Song Dynasty again to send troops and horses across the border.
Therefore, most of the soldiers and horses they brought from Baghdad were still hiding quietly at the junction of the Black Khan Dynasty and the Yuanshan tribe.
Although the number of those soldiers and horses was not large, they were of great use in the war between the Song Dynasty and the Black Khan Dynasty.
In essence, the Black Khan Dynasty was a dependent state under the rule of the Caliphate.
Although the Black Khan Dynasty has separated from the rule of the Caliph, the Black Khan King has chosen to stand on his own.
But the Black Khan Dynasty still used religious methods to rule the people and warriors.
Moreover, the bodyguard cavalry of the Black Khan King Yusufu were still Mamluk guests given by Baghdad.
Gargamel is a very popular person in the religion. If he appears on the battlefield with his people, he will definitely influence some soldiers of the Black Khan Dynasty.
Even though he doesn't want to get involved in the war.
Kou Ji could also persuade him to take people to stir up trouble in the territory of the Black Khan Dynasty and make King Yusufu of the Black Khan retreat.
Anyway, the Black Khan King Yusufu, in order to conquer the Xizhou Uighurs and the Song Dynasty, took away millions of soldiers and horses in the country, almost wiping out 90% of the troops in the Black Khan Dynasty.
When Gargamel takes his people to stir up trouble in the territory of the Black Khan Dynasty, he will hardly encounter any obstruction.
Gargamel needs a place to preach, and needs to control a country dominated by religion to continue the incense of religion.
The Black Khan Dynasty is definitely more suitable for him than anywhere else.
When he arrived in the territory of the Black Khan Dynasty, he did not need to deliberately preach.
He just needs to find a way to prove his superiority to the people in the Black Khan Dynasty.
As long as he can prove his identity, he can easily steal the power of the Black Khan King Yusufu within the Black Khan Dynasty.
Regardless of whether Gargamel can successfully steal the power of the Black Khan King Yusufu within the Black Khan Dynasty, it will play an immeasurable role in the war between the Song Dynasty and the Black Khan Dynasty.
Once Gargamel entered the Black Khan Dynasty, he began to steal the power of the Black Khan King Yusufu.
Then the situation of the war will be reversed.
There is a fire in the backyard, can the Black Khan Wang Yusufu save it?
If he is not saved, he will most likely become a fugitive king who is sent away.
To save you, you have to be willing to let Song Dynasty let you leave the battlefield.
Da Song is pestering you and won't let you go, so you can only watch the fire in the backyard getting stronger and stronger.
