Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Page 764

The reason why this battle is interesting is not only because it involves four forces with different positions in three countries, but also because no one can draw the right conclusions about this war except Bai Sheng, who sits in the middle of the Liao Palace. judge.

Whether it is Zhuge Wuzhi who is proficient in strategy, Tongguan who is old and cunning, and Honghaier who is good at calculating small-scale time and space, their predictions about this battle are all wrong.

But what is interesting is that no matter which of these three parties, their conclusions are optimistic.

The people of the Kingdom of Jin happily watched Da Song and Daliao slay, and only waited for the fisherman to benefit after the fight between the snipe and the clam. After that, there was no more news, and it seemed a bit abnormal in this ever-changing battlefield, but what is this?It is estimated that Zongwang went into the palace to pick out beauties, these children like to play like this, and let him have fun.

The people of Jin Kingdom are optimistic, and the people of Liao Kingdom are also optimistic. Zhuge Wuzhi boarded the central command tower of the Taiyi Huntian Phenomena Formation with an extremely optimistic attitude. Look at it, especially Bai Sheng!

However, Tong Guan is the most optimistic among the three forces.

The dispatch of the Great Song Imperial Army was naturally an order from Marshal Tong.

After Qin Hui returned, he talked about the attitude of the Jin people and the results of the negotiations, and Marshal Tong was overjoyed, "The Qin Supervisory Army really deserves to be the pillar of the country, comparable to Su Qin and Zhang Yi, who have made such great achievements today. Unlimited, in the future in the court, our family will have to rely on the general to support us a lot."

Leaving aside the military purpose of this trip by the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty, only the people from the Kingdom of Jin are undoubtedly the strongest among the three forces inside and outside Yanjing City. Tong Guan really doesn’t want to start a war with the people of the Kingdom of Jin. Persimmons also know how to pick soft ones, do you need to think about who is hard and who is soft between Jin people and Liao people?Qin Hui was able to successfully unite with the Kingdom of Jin, which made him let go of a huge rock hanging in his heart.

Tong Guan's words were a bit serious, Qin Hui didn't dare to answer, and immediately said seriously: "Where does Privy Tong speak? Qin Hui has only been an official for ten years, how can he catch up with Privy Tong's hard work and high morals? How dare he overstep? From now on, he can only be supported by Privy Tong Qin Hui"

Tong Guan smiled and waved his hands, and said: "Okay, okay, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, so we should take care of each other, but what our family is talking about is another matter. The Qin Supervisor Army is now in full bloom, but our family is Already old, after a hundred years of our family, who will take care of the few relatives left behind? At that time, the Qin Supervisor will definitely be in power. I just hope that the Qin Supervisor will remember the tacit understanding between you and me today, and give him some care when the time comes. Thank you in advance from our family.”

As we all know, Tong Guan is an eunuch, and the eunuch must have no children. After death, what relatives need to take care of?

Qin Hui knew about Tong Guan, the old eunuch had kept many concubines of the former emperor Song Zhezong.

Song Zhezong Zhao Xi was Zhao Ji's older brother, and when his elder brother died, it was already against the rules for his younger brother to succeed to the throne, that is, there was such a precedent in the Song Dynasty.After inheriting the throne from his elder brother, it would be even more outrageous if he put all his sisters-in-law to sleep, so Zhao Ji set aside a place in the imperial city to gather Zhezong's 72 concubines in the Sangong and Six Courtyards.

Of course, such a large number of widows also need a large number of eunuchs and maids to serve, and Tong Guan is responsible for managing this part of the eunuchs, and there is a clear division of labor with another eunuch chief Liang Shi.

When Tong Guan was in the court, he needed to go to these widows to send them warmth from time to time, and when he came and went, he sent out some things.

Isn't Tong Guan a eunuch?What can be delivered?

It is said that although Tong Guan does not have the key things of a man, he has a beard, not only a beard, but also thicker than the beard comparable to Tengger's on the mouth of the wife of Xiaoshenyang in later generations. He looks very majestic and masculine .

Let's talk about the emperor's sister-in-laws, widows who have been widowed for a long time, how much do they need comfort physically and spiritually?Even the concubine Wei Xian who was often nourished by the emperor's rain and dew still complained about not having enough to eat, let alone these widows who were in the age of tigers and wolves but could not get any rain and dew?

Although we can't really do anything with Tong Shumi, it's always possible to talk about ideals and life with each other, right?After going back and forth, they chatted about their feelings. People in later generations can chat about their feelings through computer or mobile phone screens and thousands of mountains and rivers, even when they are not sure whether the person opposite is a man or a woman. Two big living people face to face?

So the eunuch and the widow chatted for a long time, and they could still talk about their feelings. Platonic love is also love.

What Tong Guan wants to entrust to Qin Hui are these women who are entangled in love with him, as well as the "son" they jointly adopted.

In order to live a family life like a normal person, Tong Guan collected some handsome and clever boys from the people and brought them into the palace.He made an agreement with the women that once the news got out and someone used the children as an excuse, he would castrate the children and turn them into little eunuchs, so that the disaster would be avoided.

Of course, women hope that it is best not to be eunuched. A five-, six-, or seven-year-old boy can be used as a man after ten years of raising him. Wouldn't it be a pity to be eunuched?

If once Tong Guan really died, the "family" he left behind would not be able to ask the court for compensation in a fair manner, and could only entrust others to take care of them in private.

Originally, he didn't need someone like Qin Hui to take care of him. How could he not have a suitable candidate after he had formed a party for many years in the court?But now in the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Fu was captured by Fang La, and his life and death are still unknown, Cai Jing has been deposed by the emperor and lost his power, Gao Qi was killed by Bai Sheng, Yang Jian was sick and ill for years, Zhu Man's permanent office in Suzhou The emperor collected flowers and stones, Li Bangyan was at odds with him, and there was only one Liang Shicheng who secretly communicated with him, but there was no one to cooperate with him in the court.

Cai You is the hottest person in the Great Song Dynasty now, but Cai You has always been at odds with him. The reason is that Cai You once wanted to stay overnight in the Emperor's Credit Palace and play with his sister-in-law for the emperor, but he was justified by him. Refused.

Who are you, Cai You, who dare to defile the late emperor's widow?I, Tong Guan, only chatted with them, but you, Cai You, were delusional about doing real work, and turned against you!

Therefore, it is impossible to ask Cai You for help in this matter, but it is even more impossible to ask the emperor. Regardless of his close relationship with the emperor, no matter how close he is, he can't be confused about this matter. Chu didn't understand, but still wanted the emperor to help?Isn't this courting death?

What's more, right now, he is doing one thing that he is obedient to the emperor, that is, before he left for the expedition, he was ordered to arrest Li Shishi who wanted to sneak out of Bianjing, and locked him in the courtyard where Huangshan lived.

It is naturally not a glorious thing for the emperor to bring a pregnant prostitute back to the palace. What's more, this prostitute has a very strong background. Once the news spreads, not only Lao Cai Jing will make trouble, but Di Lie may also Come and find, after all, the two female masters who escorted Li Shishi out of Beijing are Di Lie's subordinates.

So this matter is highly confidential.

What Zhao Ji meant was to try to make the child in Li Shishi's belly, this child is Bai Sheng's seed, why keep it?Did you grow up and add trouble?Only Li Shishi's body is left, although it is not perfect, but it is still charming and charming.

Of course, Zhao Ji can't do this kind of thing with his own hands. If you killed someone's child with your own hands, it would be a bit difficult if you want to fall in love with her in the future. Besides, he doesn't know how to do this kind of work. Professional technical work, if one fails, the mother and child will die.

So he asked Tong Guan to do it. Tong Guan had nothing to say about performing the task, but he didn't know how to do this kind of obstetrics and gynecology surgery, so he asked Huangshan next to him if he could do it.

In order to compete for the position of queen, these imperial sisters-in-law were thinking about how to kill the children in other people's stomachs every day. experts in this area.

However, Huangshan firmly disagreed with him doing this. Seeing that Li Shishi was due to give birth in a month or two, wouldn't it be a great pleasure to give birth to this child and raise it together?After all, the children that Tong Guan got from the folks entered the palace halfway, and it will be difficult to be intimate with these "mothers" in the future. If you really want to raise children, it is better to raise such babies who have changed hands since they came out of the mother's womb.

Tong Guan refused to agree at first, the emperor is still waiting to reply, how can you afford to wait another month or two?

What's so difficult about it?There is a widow who gave Tong Guan an idea, you say that Li Shishi is too weak now, if he drains the water rashly, both mother and child will die, so he needs to be raised for a while, not to mention that you will go out soon, and you will do it after you return from victory It's too late!

Tong Guan thought that this was really a reason, so he went back and told Zhao Ji that Zhao Ji was also waiting for the wind to subside and wait and see the reaction of the forces behind Li Shishi. He didn't dare to get involved with Li Shishi immediately, so he agreed to Tong Guan's proposal .

But this matter is always a crime of deceiving the emperor. Suppose he returns triumphantly in the future, hides the child after birth, and tells the emperor that he has killed the child. What is it if it is not deceiving the emperor?

So even from this matter, he dare not entrust his relatives to Zhao Ji.Furthermore, regardless of whether Zhao Ji is looking for Lin Lingsu or Guo Jing to practice immortality, it is not certain who will die first. If Zhao Ji dies first, he will have to curry favor with the new emperor.

The alliance with Qin Hui has two major advantages. The above reasons are only one of them. The other reason is that this time, someone needs to stand up and speak out after winning the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and returning to the capital: "Private Tong has regained the lost ground, and it is completed." The wish of the ancestors, should we follow the last emperor's legacy, to crack the earth and seal the king?"

Indeed, Zhao Ji’s father Song Shenzong Zhao Xu did say this, roughly meaning that after my death, no matter who is the emperor in the Song Dynasty, as long as someone from the government and the opposition can recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, he will be crowned king with a different surname!

There had never been a king with a different surname in the Song Dynasty, as long as the king was named Zhao and they were all brothers or uncles of the emperor, but Song Shenzong actually issued such an edict, which shows his desire to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

Zhao Ji, as Zhao Xu's No. 11 son, naturally cannot change his father's last words. As long as Tong Guan wins Yanyun, this king with a different surname will definitely be named, but this cannot be said by Tong Guan himself.

If Tong Guan himself said that the officials, you see, I have taken Yan Yun back, so should I be crowned king?Just this one sentence, if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin!

You Tong Guan beat Yan Yun just to become king?If there is no reward for becoming a king, will you not work hard for me?

It is fine to carry out the last emperor's last order. Wouldn't it be easy to make you a king first and then kill you?The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Even if you become a king, you are still a minister.

Therefore, Tong Guan needs someone who has the weight to speak in the court to speak up for him. At that time, he has to express his refusal. This is the way to be an official. Got officialdom?He has been played to death long ago, no matter how good his martial arts are, it is useless.

Now that Qin Hui had convinced Jin Guo, and even decided on such an important issue as the ownership of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, his contribution was no less than that of himself, the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition who led the army to fight.What?You said he bought it with old coins?so what?Anyway, the New Year's coin is not my child's money, so spend it if you spend it.Um?You said to reduce the burden on the canopy?Oh, I see. I'm going to Baifanlou for dinner tonight. See you soon.

It is conceivable that once this battle is won and he returns to the court in the future, as long as he does not trip Qin Hui, Qin Hui's further promotion is certain. Taking back the control of the Great Song Dynasty Hall in his hands, it is no longer possible to act independently with Qin Hui, and must form an alliance with him!

Where did Qin Hui expect Tong Guan to have such deep thoughts and such long-term considerations?Feel flattered.Now the real power faction in the court is dying and falling, and the only ones left are Tong Guan and Cai You. I don't know Cai You well, but fortunately, Clerk Tong is so caring. Together, let's work together!

Qin Hui immediately expressed his opinion, and Tong Guan was even more delighted, saying: "I really didn't expect that our family is always old, and we have to meet such a close friend as Brother Qin. Brother, since you have taken over the negotiation, the old brother will be the next one." Come on, come on, come on, come with our family to the front of the battle, and see how my imperial guards of the Song Dynasty can kill these Liao soldiers who only know how to wave flags!"

The Song army began to attack, first with a wave of magic arm bows covering the attack.If there is no target, just shoot into the ocean of the battle flag. As for whether you can hit the "fish in the sea", you don't care at all. In short, you must eliminate possible ambushes for the infantry who are about to charge.This style of play is quite similar to the artillery strikes before the infantry of later generations launched a charge.

The super-long crossbow arrows shot by the divine arm bow flew towards the Liao army's flag formation with a sharp whistling sound. The scene was spectacular. Qin Hui praised from the bottom of his heart: "The leader of Privy Tong really deserves to be a mighty army!"

Chapter 1060

The Song army's attack was massive, but to use a catchphrase invented by later generations is to prove that it is useless.

How do Tong Guan and the others know the beauty of the Taiyi Chaos Formation?This array is not only full of internal changes and murderous intentions, but even the external defense is comprehensive. Not to mention the god-arm bows of the Song Dynasty that are far less lethal than Xixia, even if they are equipped with eight-ox crossbows or even put on a catapult. The generals of the Liao Army in the formation.

Attack methods like the imperial army of the Song Dynasty will only be effective when the big formation is about to be completed. At this time, the Huntianxiang formation has been deployed for several days, and even the hiding holes for the defense of the catapults have been dug out in the formation. How else can I gain power?
