Unexpectedly, after a pause, it was Lu Haowen who spoke this time, not Lu Yihao, who was becoming more and more powerful.
"If we don't need him, who else can we use at this time?" Under the snowflakes, Zhao Jiu turned his head with his hands behind his hands and looked at the Dazhai, the main force of the Jin Army, which was gradually strengthening to the north, and then sighed.
Whether Lu Hao asked or the others, they were startled at first, and then they all expressed a little emotion... Because as the official said, who else can be used at this time?
There is no need to elaborate on the reasons why Zhao Guan’s family uses Yue Fei. For him as a time traveler, the two words Yue Fei are already the reasons. The three words Han Shizhong are usually the basic courage for him to dare to operate independently these days.
.But even if this reason is put aside, at the moment, who can use it?
You must know that at this moment, looking around the entire battlefield, the Tokyo Remaining Division still has some troops and horses to spare, and can make some moves.
Therefore, no matter who it is, they have to go to Tokyo to take charge of the situation.
Of course Zongze can be used, but according to Zhao Guan's guess, he must be seriously ill and difficult to survive.
After Li Gang passed through Jingkang and the chaos in the southeast, everyone had lost confidence in his military prowess.
Li Yanxian is definitely available, but Shaanzhou is the connection point between the Central Plains, Guanxi, and Hebei. It is the most critical node in itself. Its survival is related to whether the front line of the Song and Jin Dynasties can be maintained to the Yellow River. And don't look at the current situation in Shaanzhou.
Well, that's just because the main force of the West Route Army did not come to Shaanzhou. Once Li Yanxian is allowed to lead the troops in Tokyo, will Wanyan Loushi or Wanyan Yinshu be attracted to counterattack Shaanzhou immediately? When the time comes, Jin will open his own door.
The merging of armies from the east and west is a recipe for death.
For the same reason, Zhang Jun cannot be easily dispatched, otherwise the Jianghuai gate will be wide open and a Jin army will suddenly move south to Yangzhou, which will be a lot of fun!
And after thinking about it, even in the eyes of the central ministers, here in Jingdong and Jingxi, the one who has some achievements at this time and is a little trustworthy is actually the governor who was a prisoner on death row a year ago.
It made Yue Fei fly.
Therefore, it is necessary to use it. There are not many generals available now, but it is impossible to give him a super-level title, otherwise it will be really bad.
This point can be seen by looking at Li Yanxian, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Qu Duan, and the rebellion in the southeast.
Why did Li Yanxian change his name to Kang Jin?
Wasn't it because he was dissatisfied with Li Gang's military strategy from the beginning and slandered Prime Minister Li Gang as a military waste, so that he was wanted?
Han Shizhong was in Nanjing to watch the new official ascend the throne. He looked at the various soldiers and horses walking in the crowd. After drinking too much, he said something to his heart - 'We are the first in the world'!
What does it mean?
Everyone else is trash!
As for Zhang Jun and Qu Duan, they are both old Western soldiers, so there is no need to mention them.
There is also the rebellion in the southeast. If you ask Wang Shunchen to take over, he is famous enough, but he has not been involved in the army for decades. Who will be convinced?
Oh, and there is also the dead Liu Guangshi. He doesn't care about his status and is rarely unconvinced. He just likes to beggar his neighbor.
How can things in the army be so simple? It is one thing to be a proud soldier, but the essential problem is that if you want so many people to hand over their lives to one person, you have to come up with some evidence.
Not to mention, nine out of ten soldiers and horses in the Tokyo Remaining Department are refugees from Hebei and bandits from the two capitals. If one of them is really bad, these people will not have much psychological pressure to turn into bandits.
However, one thing to say is that it is really a bit unexpected that things have reached this situation, because Zhao Jiu had considered this difficult situation with great care in Nanyang.
Zhao Guan's family didn't know Zongze's historical lifespan, but they probably knew that Zongze died of grief and anger in Tokyo. In addition, because of his age, he was concerned about this from the beginning, and also for
To ensure Yue Fei's performance, a special insurance was set up.
And this insurance is from Jingdong Lianglu System Envoy Zhang.
Zhang Suo had set up camp in Huazhou very early and got along very well with Zongze. A considerable number of Zongze's generals had been handled by Zhang Suo. More importantly, this man, like Zongze, was Yue Fei's boss.
, there is no doubt about the trust in Yue Fei... So according to the original plan, even if something goes wrong with Zongze, Zhang Suo, a senior official in Nanjing, will take over the Tokyo Left Behind Department, and Yue Fei will definitely get more benefits from this.
Strong protection and wider space for play.
But it's useless to say all this...Kong Yanzhou defected before the battle, and Zhang Suo died for his country!
"This matter is not that simple. It needs to be carefully thought through." Probably because he had been waiting for a long time before Lu Yihao's words came, Lu Haowen had to continue speaking with some hesitation. "The official... I don't know what the official considers.
Have you thought about anything here in Nanyang when you were in other situations?"
"What's the matter?"
"This matter was mentioned by Chen Shangshu before, and I quite agree with it." Lu Haowen turned his head and glanced at Chen Gui. This action attracted another Lu Xianggong to look on coldly. However, Lu Haowen had no time to care about this, but he gradually became closer and closer.
Under the snowflakes, he pointed to the shadows and lights to the north and turned around and said seriously. "The Jin army was afraid of our artillery vehicles, so they did not dare to approach the city and did not attack the city. But was the Jin army really powerless? They surrounded Sanque.
Of course it’s understandable, but with so many cavalry, can’t they really block the flow of messengers? Why just let messengers from all over the place go in and out?”
"I knew what they meant that day." Zhao Jiu looked at the Jin Army camp outside the city with his hands behind his hands and answered frankly. "It's a tactic to attack the heart. Since Nanyang City's defense is excellent, they simply used this tactic to force us to mobilize, and we
Once the arrangements are made, flaws will inevitably be revealed, which will be a fighting opportunity for them... But this is a conspiracy. You can't say that Han Shizhong is in danger, the left-behind department in Tokyo is in stagnant water, and the situation in Kansai is worrying. It's all fake, right?"
Lu Haowen opened his mouth, but finally nodded: "As long as the officials understand in their hearts... But I have another question, since the officials knew that the Jin army outside the city was trying to attack their hearts, they deliberately brought the predicament to the front line in the north.
, but why do you want to force the dispatch? What is the so-called use of Yue Fei? Is it just to take over Zong Liushou and take charge of Tokyo affairs? From the current point of view, Zong Liushou should only be seriously ill, and Yue Fei is not under control in Tokyo.
…”
"Ms. Lu." Zhao Jiu sighed. "The old rules only told you that the enemy is deceitful, but did they ever tell you that sitting in a withered city is the way to wait for death? In today's situation in Nanyang, don't you have a counterattack weapon like a new artillery truck?"
Lu Haowen and Chen Gui both restrained their hands slightly, but neither of them refuted anything.
And the Zhao Guan family simply made it clear: "I want to save Han Shizhong... Han Liangchen cannot die! He is my backbone! I dare not think about who can support the overall situation in the future once Han Shizhong dies in Changshe? Yue Fei is certainly a talented person,
But you also said that he is only twenty-seven, and his sword has no eyes. If Han Shizhong can be as old as me, God knows what will happen to him in the future?"
On the city wall, everyone looked at each other in silence, but no one was surprised. According to the official's previous care for Han Shizhong, this reason is absolutely credible.
"Of course it is understandable that the officials want to save Lieutenant Han. The loyal general Han Shi must be rescued, but where will the soldiers and horses come from?" At this moment, Lu Yihao suddenly raised his hands and spoke, asking the question before Lu Haowen could.
"According to the military information collected by the Privy Council in the past few days, although Wanyan Talan divided his troops everywhere, he himself should be sitting at the foot of Changshe City and besieging Changshe himself, and the surrounding soldiers and horses, from Yelu Mawu in Zhongmu in the north, to Talan in the south
The lazy son-in-law Pucha Falcon Balu has a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses, and more cavalry... If he fails to relieve the siege in three to five days, he will only be annihilated by the Jin army under the city... There must be a large army!"
"Not bad." Lu Haowen also nodded seriously.
"There are 20,000 to 30,000 people in Tokyo and 30,000 to 40,000 people in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture. Let Li Yanxian give up Hebei and only stick to Shaanxi Province. If possible, he can gather more, plus Liu Bao, the remnants of Tian Shizhong... all gathered together.
One hundred thousand is unlikely, but seventy or eighty thousand is possible, right?" Zhao Jiu answered seriously.
"Does Tokyo not care?" Chen Gui, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately responded anxiously.
"If you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land. If you save people and lose land, you will lose both people and land." It was the Prime Minister Lu Yihao who answered the old rule. "Of course Tokyo City is important, but it is not as important as Han Liangchen... Save Han Liangchen,
Even if Tokyo suffers a loss, it will be able to fight back sooner or later! But if the current consumption continues, the cities in the Five Rivers will fall one by one sooner or later. What guarantee will Tokyo have when the time comes?"
The stereotype was silent for a moment.
"I have thought about this carefully." Zhao Jiu quickly stopped the fight between the two. "Tokyo is only two hundred miles away from Changsha, and the Jin army closest to Tokyo is the five troops of Zhongmu Yeluma, ten thousand people, fifty miles apart.
...Besieging a city and relieving it are not the same thing. If we can gather troops and horses to rescue Han Shizhong and then return to Tokyo to rest, Yelu Ma will not have time to capture Tokyo."
Everyone fell into thinking again.
But a moment later, it was Hu Yin who said seriously: "The officials are right. Han Shizhong, a famous general of this dynasty, must be saved!"
Immediately afterwards, Academician Xiao Lin was no longer silent: "Han Shizhong really wants to save!"
"I thought I was going to save you!" Yan Xiaozhong, who had been silent all this time, finally ignored his friendship with Chen Gui and handed over to him without hesitation. "Otherwise, how can the world see the sincerity of officials?"
On the top of the city, a Xianggong, an internal official, a Nanyang governor, and a censor Zhongcheng all expressed their approval of the emperor, and this matter could not be changed.
In fact, Lu Haowen no longer insisted, but handed it over and returned to the crux of the problem: "If this is the case, and Zong Liushou's condition cannot be made public, we can only find a minister to be Zong Liushou's deputy, and then
Governor Yue Fei went south and integrated the remaining departments in Tokyo."
"That's all we can do." Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment, and finally gave up on the possibility of letting Yue Fei become the commander directly, but he was still a little worried. "But I'm afraid that I can't let Yue Fei go if he can be a commander in Tokyo Sakon."
"Don't worry about the officials." Lu Haowen sighed slightly. "I thought about it and found that there is still a good candidate... Now that Tokyo Deputy Regent Quan Bangyan is trapped in Huazhou, and Lieutenant Lu Qing is trapped in Xiangcheng, then
There were only two candidates, and the official wanted someone to look after Yue Fei, so they had to get rid of Wang Yan, who had a grudge against Yue Fei, so there was only the last person left, and this person happened to be the right candidate."
Zhao Jiu's heart moved slightly, but he didn't have time to think too much. Instead, he blurted out: "I know who you are talking about. The last person is naturally the former Daming Mansion left behind, now Kaifeng Mansion Yin Duchong... But didn't he escape from Daming Mansion?
Is it available? Do you dare to fight? I have vaguely heard that he kills indiscriminately?"
"In the official family, the current situation is that there are only a few people with this qualification, and this person is suitable for his job." Lu Haowen said eloquently. "The most important thing is that this person and Yue Fei are from the same hometown.
"
Zhao Jiu suddenly realized that these days, fellow countrymen are a huge guarantee. Moreover, most of the left-behind departments in Tokyo are generals from Hebei. Du Chong's hometown is also a big guarantee for Tokyo... But he obviously has a deep affection for Du Chong.
I had no impression of this name, and I had no idea what the historical image was, so I quickly turned back to look at Yang Yizhong.
In this situation, Yang Yizhong had no room to interrupt, but as the data query device used by Zhao Guan's family, Yang Tongzhi ignored the thin layer of snowflakes on his shoulders and bowed very quickly to give the answer:
"Reporting back to the officials, what Mr. Lu said was true. The two were from the same hometown and had a good relationship... Yue Fei was one of the few warriors who was well-educated and enterprising. Du Dayin once said in Tokyo in the middle of his life that there were many heroes in Xiangzhou.
, but most of them are rude people, and the only one who can interact with him on the friendship of fellow countrymen is Yue Pengju... Although these remarks may be a mockery of Zhang Yongduo, the commander of the Tokyo left-behind department who is also a native of Xiangzhou, but they can still be said to some extent.
It can be seen that Du Chong and Yue Fei get along well."
At this point, Yang Yizhong paused for a moment before speaking in a low voice: "That's not all. Du Dayin's eldest son Du Song and third son Du Kun are both in Xiangyang; while his son-in-law Han Ru and his second son Du Yan are both in Xiangyang.
They are all in the city."
This means that you can rest assured that there are hostages.
Zhao Jiu was relieved for a moment, but then shook his head slightly.
In other words, when things have come to this point, he still doesn't know that there is such a ready-made good candidate in Tokyo, and it can even be said that he is a natural candidate. His qualifications, current official position, and place of origin are all the most suitable... And Lu Yihao came to Nanyang for the first time.
It is understandable that personnel matters are unclear soon, but Lu Haowen, who is in charge of the province and personally participated in arranging official positions in the past six months, has delayed providing them until now. Apparently he still has a conservative mentality and does not want to take the initiative to cause trouble.
Of course, as the saying goes, any method is better than nothing. And Lu Haowen provided such a suitable candidate under his own pressure, so what else should he think about?
If we don’t use him, who else can we use?
Zhao Guanjia did not repeat these words that he had said before. Instead, he made a decision on the spot with a bit of relief and a bit of exhaustion: "Then send an envoy to Tokyo without writing a letter to prevent it from being intercepted by the Jin army.
Let the envoy go to Tokyo to see Zongze and explain the matter!"
"Officials!" Lu Yihao quickly interrupted and added a little. "You can send an unrelated edict to confer an official position on Yue Fei, and then let Du Chong's second son Du Yan be the envoy... The edict is to argue the authenticity of the left-behind department in Tokyo.
, In this way, no matter whether Zong Liushou is awake or not, the senior officials in the Tokyo Liubei Department will be able to know the official's thoughts; and when Du Chong sees his parents and children, he will naturally understand the official's thoughts while being grateful. At that time, he will be afraid of difficulties.
, his son can also convey the official's intentions clearly, and he will never dare not send troops south to rescue Han Liangchen, nor will he not reuse Yue Fei."
Hearing this, Zhao Jiu almost relaxed completely: "In this way, we can look forward to something! Let's do it quickly and let Du Yan leave the city overnight! Don't delay for a moment!"
Everyone bowed their hands together and said no more.
ps: After careful investigation, Du Chong should have served as Zongze's deputy after moving south from Daming Mansion... Judging from his qualifications, it is natural to succeed Zongze.
At that time, Yue Fei was generally considered to be Du Chong's favorite general...but later someone used this to attack Yue Fei, which was obviously nonsense. The relationship between the two was natural.
