Ximen Qing knew that Tong Guan's Northern Expedition had no good fruit to eat, so of course he would not take the initiative to approach Tong Guan and his cronies at this time.
Wang Ting is more calm, and he is not from the Western Army, so it is inconvenient to speak first at this time, so he also turned his attention to Yang Keshi, who was from the Western Army.
Taiwei Tongguan once recruited brave and skilled soldiers from the Western Army in the Northwest to form his own Shengjie Army, and Yang Keshi was the commander of this army.
Yang Keshi is a general of the Western Army, and it is most appropriate for him to take the lead in expressing his opinion.
Seeing this, Yang Keshi had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up and said to Tong Guanjian: "Taiwei, the general thinks that the cause of the incident was not foreseen, and once the benefits are at stake. If you miss the plan hastily, our methods will not be regretted." , I am afraid that something will happen, humiliating the country is the most important thing, and I am willing to do it before doing it."
Yang Keshi was Tong Guan's favorite general, but at this time he also asked Taiwei Tong Guan not to send troops hastily, and wait until the generals have discussed it before entering the army.
It's not that Yang Keshi didn't know how to carry the palanquin for Taiwei Tongguan, it's that he was born in the army and knew the danger of the war, so he was not sure about it.
Yang Keshi said so, Wang Ting couldn't say anything more.
After listening to Yang Keshi's words, Zhong Shidao glanced at the generals of the Western Army calmly, thinking that the generals from our Western Army will always have one heart with the Western Army.I said I can't fight, which younger generation will come out with this head?
After hearing Yang Keshi's words, Taiwei Tongguan was very displeased, but he didn't want to be angry in public and reprimand himself, a love general who doesn't understand politics.
If it happened at this time, wouldn't it just be a joke for Zhong Shidao?
At this moment, He Shen, the magistrate of Xiongzhou who was eager to make contributions, stood up to relieve Tong Taiwei's worries.
He Shen is a native of Juancheng, Puzhou, on the east-west road of Beijing. His family is not far from Yanggu County, Dongping Prefecture, and Yuncheng County, Jezhou. He can be regarded as half of Ximenqing's hometown.
Although He Shen is the magistrate, he can be regarded as a general's son.His father was a famous general in the Renzong Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty. He Bin commanded both the Dragon Worship and the Divine Guard, and was the Marquis of the Infantry Army.
He Bin once marched south to Guangdong and Guangxi with the famous general Di Qing, and quelled the chaos of Mannong Zhigao in Guangyuan Prefecture.
In the battle against the rebellion, He Bin led the troops to fly across the Kunlun Pass in one day, assaulting the rebels' flanks, and made great contributions to Di Qing's victory over Nong Zhigao's army.
Since then, He Bin has stayed in Guangxi for a long time, and he has shocked the Nanman and Jiaozhi Kingdoms, and made great contributions to the stability of the southern border of the Great Song Dynasty.
After He Bin's death, his son He Shen Yiyin became the deputy general of Hebei, and he was tired of officials to Doctor Youwu, Inspector of Weizhou, and Zhixiong Prefecture.
He Shen has the heart to do meritorious service at the border like his father He Bin, so he is extremely concerned about the military.
In the army, he developed a powerful and powerful long-distance bow, which can break through [-] steps away. The people on the border of Song and Liao are called "Phoenix Bow".After that, He Shen went to Xiangzhou to observe the envoy because of his meritorious service.
He Shen has been in Xiongzhou for ten years, thinking that the imperial court will definitely use troops against Liao, so he sent many secret agents into the territory of Liao to investigate the enemy's situation.
Now that the opportunity of the imperial court's Northern Expedition has finally come, He Shen has always had the ambition to make contributions, so he immediately pays a visit to Taiwei Tong Guan and actively advises Tong Guan.
Seeing that all the generals of the Western Army are hesitant to move forward, how can the peace that is eager for success be tolerated?
He Shen immediately laughed at Yang Keshi and said: "General Yang, you usually boast that you can defeat ten thousand people, you are absolutely courageous, and you regard a majestic teacher as if you are destroyed, why do you look at it today, and you are just a coward?"
Yang Keshi was robbed of the confession by He Shen face to face, and seeing that the Taiwei Tong Guan expressed his approval of He Shen's words, he had to swallow his anger and remained silent.
He Shen took the opportunity to get out of the crowd, and asked Taiwei Tongguan for orders: "Taiwei, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom disappeared, Yelu Chun was seeking to usurp the throne, and the army and people of Yanjing were panicking and falling apart.
The Taiwei brought [-] soldiers here, and Yanjing, which is in ruins, is about to fall. How could it be possible for some cowards in the army to dampen the morale of the army!
He Shen is not talented, and I would like to lead the Xiongzhou Army to clear the way and build a bridge for the Taiwei, and go straight to the city of Yanjing! "
"Okay! He Zhifu is worthy of being the son of a general, and he has the style of being a father!
If everyone in the army fights bravely like a magistrate, why worry about Khitan not being destroyed?The Land of Yanyun cannot return?
Taiwei Ben decided to take He Zhifu as the commander of the deputy capital of the whole army, and Yang Keshi as the commander of the former army. The two of you will lead the army straight to Baigou, waiting for an opportunity to defeat the enemy!
Please invite the old general Zhong to sit in the rear army and fight against the two generals He and Yang.
Yang Keshi, you are known for your bravery. Will you dare to work with He Zhifu to destroy a powerful enemy this time? "
Tong Guan greatly appreciated He Shen and immediately granted him military power.At the same time, Tong Guan did not give up on reusing his confidant and beloved general Yang Keshi.
"The last general takes orders! I am willing to lead the army to defeat the enemy for the Taiwei, even if I die!"
Yang Keshi is not really stupid, he hastily stated his position and asked for a fight.
Yang Keshi understands that, as the Taiwei's beloved general, if he doesn't respond to the Taiwei's orders this time, his fate will be worse than that of the teacher who is openly singing the opposite tune.
Taiwei Tongguan decided with one word, promoted He Shen, who was eager to make contributions, as the deputy of the teacher, and then took his confidant Yang Keshi as the commander of the former army, and let the two of them lead the army, which was actually empty The nominal capital governs the cultivation of teachers.
You are a teacher who does not want to lead troops to fight, but there are people who are willing to lead troops to fight!That being the case, you should put on the name of being in charge of the capital and manage the logistics support for the army!
Seeing that Mr. Zhong's Taoism was about to be emptied, his brother Mr. Zhong's face changed color.
Zhong Shidao smiled indifferently, and shook his head quietly at Zhong Zhong, asking him to take it calmly.
When the generals saw this scene, they each had their own concerns and kept silent.
The first military meeting in the yamen of Xuanfu Division of Xiongzhou ended hastily like this.
Under the assignment of Taiwei Tongguan, the Song Army's eastern and western armies marched to the border of Song and Liao in order to show off their power and intimidate the small imperial court of Yanjing in Liao Kingdom with force.
However, the cavalry of the Song Army posted bulletins everywhere on the border, but no Han people from Yandi came to join them.When the Yan people on the other side of the river saw Song Jun, they all cursed.
At this time, in the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom, Lang Wang Jieru, the secretary of the Liao Kingdom, and Wang Zhongsun, the secretary of the Langdu official, were receiving Song envoy Ma Kuo on behalf of the Liao Kingdom.
Wang Jieru was telling Ma Kuo why the Han people in Yan did not want to abandon Liao and return to Song.
Wang Jieru said: "The two dynasties have been at peace for a long time, and Dai Bai is old and ignorant of the military revolution. Now, if he sees such a dangerous thing, would he rather feel sorry for it?
In the Southern Dynasties, every time Yan people thought of Han, they didn't think that they had been separated from Khitan for nearly 200 years. How could there be no love between monarch and minister and father and son?
The people of Yan belonged to Daliao for a long time, and each settled down in its own land.The noble dynasty fought with soldiers, and all battles were fought to the death, and it was inconvenient for the lives of the two places. "
Wang Zhongsun also said: "There is a proverb: If a horse does not have two saddles, and a woman does not marry two husbands, how can a minister be responsible for two masters? Don't you read this?"
The remarks of secretary Lang Wang Jieru and secretary Langdu official Wailang Wang Zhongsun clearly expressed to Ma Kuo the attitude of the Youyun Han people who were unwilling to abandon Liao and vote for Song.
Chapter 788 The Liao Army Takes the Battle
In the posthouse in Yanjing City, after listening to the words of Secretary Lang Wang Jieru and Secretary Langdu official Wailang Wang Zhongsun, Ma Kuo smiled at them and said: "Yan people will marry Khitan first, and now I am afraid they will marry Jurchen Er again!"
The meaning of Ma Kuo's words is that the Han people in Youyun are unwilling to abandon Liao and vote for the Song Dynasty. They said in their mouths that "one woman does not marry two husbands, and a minister does not serve two masters". As long as the Jin army comes, the Han people in Yanyun will change their votes Golden State.
Faced with Ma Kuo's sharp teasing, Wang Jieru and Wang Zhongsun looked at each other and laughed, and no longer separated from Ma Kuo.
In fact, for the Han people in Yandi, they would rather let the Jurchens in the north rule the Yanyun area than let the Song people in the south take over Yanyun.
The Han aristocratic families in the Liao State had already entered the power center of the Liao State. If the Jin State annexed the Liao State, the Jurchens would still need them, the Han aristocratic families, to help manage the country, and they would still be in the ruling class of the new country.
But if the Song people in the south occupied the Yanyun area, these Han people in Yandi had intermarried and lived with the Khitan people for more than 200 years, and they were regarded as Fan people by the Song people. How could they enter the imperial court center?
The marginalization of the Han family in the land of Yanyun is an inevitable outcome.
