Qinghe Taoist nodded in agreement, and turned to Zhao Zichen and said: "Seeing that Mr. Shi is young and has extraordinary knowledge, he just discussed the current upper, middle and lower strategies of the Liao Kingdom. They are all very insightful. Compared with They are a hundred times better than those nerds who only know how to recite poems, compose poems, write calligraphy and draw pictures."
Zhao Zichen nodded repeatedly, and Taoist Qinghe said: "Xiushan, you can't miss such a talent. He is much more knowledgeable than your subordinates."
As soon as he finished saying this, two Taoist priests who had been beaten poked their heads out from the door. Taoist Qinghe frowned and waved his hand. The two Taoists did not dare to say anything, so they had to admit that they were unlucky and retreated. Then Blind Chen slowly He walked out from behind the two of them. Taoist Qinghe stepped forward and helped him sit down on the chair, saying, "Lao Jiu, how are you doing recently?"
Blind Chen bowed and said, "Thank you, Marshal, for your concern. It's okay, okay." Fang Jinshi heard what he said and thought that Blind Chen, Qiao Huaishan and Taoist Qinghe must have done things together before or were in the same army. Yes, it's just that Taoist Qinghe is much nicer to Blind Chen than to Qiao Huaishan.
Zhao Ziyan asked Shi Haodao: "Has Mr. Shi ever had any fame?"
Shi Hao said: "I am just a scholar now, with no fame." Zhao Zizan said curiously: "Oh, this is the year of the competition, and it is almost the autumn for the state examinations. Mr. Shi hasn't returned to his hometown to take the examination. Is it possible? Don¡¯t you want fame?¡±
Shi Hao smiled and said: "That's not true. I'll rush back in the next few days and there's still time." He seemed confident when he said this, and he didn't even do anything to prepare for the battle.
Zhao Zichen hummed and said, "Then how about I wait until he takes the exam before looking for him?" Shi Hao smiled and nodded in thanks.
Fang Jinshi raised his head and looked at Qiao Huaishan. His eyes were weak and his fingers were trembling as he leaned on the chair. He looked very uncomfortable. Qiao Ling'er would only gently support him and use a brocade handkerchief to help him wipe the saliva that flowed out involuntarily from his mouth. , Fang Jinshi secretly sighed heavily in his heart, this Qiao Ling'er really can't do anything, can't say anything, she only has good skills and good looks.
Fang Jinshi had no choice but to say to Taoist Qinghe himself: "Taoist Master, I, Mr. Qiao, have something to ask you to see. I wonder if Mr. Qiao is free now?" He guessed that Qiao Huaishan wanted to see Taoist Master Qinghe, but there must be something that was not convenient to mention in front of so many people. .
Taoist Qinghe looked at Qiao Huaishan and said, "Huaishan, if you are sick, go back and rest first. Come see me again tomorrow. Mr. Shi's comment on the world may take some time to finish." Fang Jinshi couldn't help but feel his words after hearing what he said. He cursed a few times secretly: "Smelly old man! I didn't expect this old man to be so sick. Maybe he will see the Lord of Hell tomorrow, and you're a piece of shit."
This old Taoist must have been a general or marshal before. Maybe Chen Xiazi and Qiao Huaishan were his subordinates before, so they were so submissive. Fang Jinshi turned back and looked at Qiao Huaishan. Qiao Huaishan whispered: "II'm waiting for the marshal. "He then coughed a few more times.
Taoist Qinghe ignored him and turned to Shi Hao: "Mr. Shi, Taoist, I went into seclusion last year to study. I thought carefully about my military career in the past decades, and compiled my previous general knowledge of Xixia and Liao. The tactics of war have been compiled into a strategic booklet, and I would like to ask you, sir, to correct it."
The old Taoist took out a thick page from the table and handed it to Shi Hao. He was convinced by Shi Hao's argument that he admired this young disciple so much that he immediately took out his own retreat book. Come and ask for advice on your works.
Shi Hao hurriedly took it over respectfully and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare. I will go back and read it carefully." Taoist Qinghe nodded and smiled with satisfaction. Fang Jinshi felt a stomachache when he saw these two people like this.
Taoist Qinghe saw him carefully putting the paper away, and felt happy in his heart. He smiled and said, "Mr. Shi just talked about the three strategies of the Liao Dynasty. Now let's comment on the major events in the Liao and Song dynasties."
Shi Hao glanced at Qiao Huaishan, a little hesitant, Qinghe Taoist smiled and said: "Mr. Shi just comes through the channels, there is no need to avoid others."
Shi Hao hummed, and then said: "The Liao Kingdom has indeed gained a lot of territory in its decades of northward and westward marches. However, although the territory is large, it is not good at managing it. In many places, not only do they have no tax profits, but they have to It was filled elsewhere, and the gains were not repaid. In addition, with the continuous use of troops, the national power was reduced, and the people were miserable. The Liao land was not as fertile as the Song Dynasty. The land was fertile for thousands of miles, the craftsmen were skilled, and the merchants were spread in all directions. The Khitan nobles were no longer as powerful as they were a hundred years ago. There are even some who no longer know how to ride a horse. They conquered Goryeo and returned with great defeat. On the surface, they are still strong, but in fact, the treasury is empty, the soldiers are tired of fighting, and the Liao is no longer the original Liao."
Taoist Qinghe and Zhao Zichen nodded after hearing this, and Shi Hao continued: "Since Xiao Yanyan in the Liao Dynasty, the battles in the palace have been extremely fierce and have never stopped. The clan members have rebelled several times, people have deserted, and family ties have ceased. Today in the Liao Dynasty Emperor Yelu Yanxi relied on Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Deli and other sycophants to go hunting and survive.?They were extravagant and extravagant and ignored the affairs of the country. The ministers in the court did not see the emperor for several months and only focused on hunting, causing chaos in the court. The Jurchen tribe Wanyan Agu refused to listen to orders and refused to dance when they attacked Chunzhou, so they should be on guard. However, they have been allowing the Jurchens to become stronger and stronger. The Emperor of Liao killed the innocent King of Jin a few years ago, which made the clan feel cold. Now they have been defeated repeatedly and fled to the mountains without daring to come out. If Yelu Dashi had not fought against the Jin soldiers, the Liao Kingdom would have died long ago. That¡¯s it. "
Zhao Zichen said: "The Liao Kingdom is now in danger." Qinghe Taoist said: "What about our Song Dynasty?"
Shi Hao said: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty by Taizu, we have lost the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. For hundreds of years, we have been obsessed with restoring our Han territory, but it has always been difficult to do so. The late Emperor Shenzong's dynasty was defeated. At that time, the officials had a legacy that anyone who recovered the sixteen counties of Yanyun could be crowned king. Therefore, the current powerful official Tong Guanlianjin sent troops to attack Liao, which was called the great cause of regaining the territory. In fact, one of the people who wanted to be crowned king had selfish interests. , it is really unwise to join forces with the Jin to attack the Liao. Although the Liao is evil, the Jin is even worse. I have learned from the Liao during the Song Dynasty for many years, but there is still some truth to be said. The Jin barbarians and vulgar people have not taught kings, and they are barbarians and Di!"
Zhao Zichen said: "What then? If we can take back the sixteen counties of Yanyun, then Tong Guantu can privately make him a king. It will be beneficial to the country and the court, so it is not an exaggeration to make him a king."
Shi Hao said: "Although it is true, there must be a huge difference between being a neighbor of Liao and being a neighbor of Jin. If the Song Dynasty united with Liao to resist the Jin, it would be possible to ask for the return of the sixteen counties of Yanyun during the peace talks. If The Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Liao Dynasty and was a neighbor of the Jin Dynasty. I was afraid that the Jin people were greedy and coveted the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. They would take advantage of the victory and lead their troops south to invade the Song Dynasty. After a hundred years of truce, the war reignited and the people would never have peace again. It would be even more difficult to regain Yanyun. It¡¯s getting harder and harder, but it¡¯s actually very bad.¡±
When Fang Jinshi heard Shi Hao's comments, he really made some sense, and he was indeed quite capable of predicting the Jin soldiers' invasion to the south. His big talk was so eloquent and eloquent that he really wanted to hear what he said, but it was just Seeing that Qiao Huaishan was in low spirits, and it was really getting late, he stepped forward and said, "What Brother Shi said is really good, but it's getting late today. Taoist priest, Mr. Qiao is sick, so you still have to see me." Let¡¯s see him.¡±
Taoist Priest Qinghe listened with great interest, but he felt unhappy when he was interrupted like this. He said angrily: "Who are you? You have no rules." He looked out the window, as if he wanted to call the two Taoists to come over and arrest him. Drive away.
Fang Jinshi cursed secretly after hearing this, and Qiao Huaishan said tremblingly: "Don't worry, I can wait." He looked pale and scratched the front of his clothes with his hands. He seemed to have trouble breathing. Qiao Ling'er patted him on the back. She was so happy for him, thinking that he had done it so many times that she was no longer surprised.
Seeing what Qiao Huaishan said, Fang Jinshi suppressed the anger in his heart and returned to Qiao Huaishan to lean against the wall. Thinking that he seemed to be the only one in the room who was worried, he felt a little troubled. It was true that the emperor was not in a hurry but the eunuch was.
Zhao Zichen said: "From Mr. Shi's point of view, what should the current situation be like in the Song Dynasty?"
Shi Hao said: "We, the Song Dynasty, have already signed a maritime alliance with the Jin Dynasty, and have also deployed troops against the Liao Dynasty. This is the decision of the powerful ministers of our Song Dynasty. Alas, the Liao envoy came to Bianliang for help that day, but the officials did not see the Liao envoy. The Liao envoy was there. Weeping bitterly in the courtyard, he said: The two countries of Song and Liao have been reconciled for hundreds of years. Every word of the covenant and oath is here. You can deceive the country, but you cannot deceive the heaven. After hearing this from others, I suddenly felt ashamed and missed me. Etiquette is the most important thing for the country, and faith is the most important thing. However, the Liao envoy scolded him like this. It is so unwise to join forces with Jin to attack the Liao Dynasty. On that day, I heard that Mr. Souchong, the manager, also talked about the maritime alliance and said: "Today's For example, if someone breaks into a neighbor's house and cannot be rescued, and then takes advantage of it and divides his room, is it not wrong?' It can be said to be a true insight, but it is a pity that no one in the government and the public listens to it, what a pity!"
Zhao Zicheng nodded sadly. What Shi Hao said was deeply rooted in his heart. He thought that he had the same view, so he thought of risking the disapproval of the world and secretly helping Yelu Dashi. If the matter was not exposed, it would be a serious crime of supporting the enemy. Pity yourself. He was so loyal that even the talented King Jing Zhao Hai didn't understand him, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Taoist Qinghe asked: "What are the chances of winning if the Song Dynasty assists the Jin Dynasty in attacking the Liao Dynasty?"
Shi Hao said: "Now that the Liao and Jin Dynasties are fighting, our Song Dynasty will be in the same situation as King Han Xin of Qi when Chu and Han were fighting."
Qinghe Taoist asked: "How do you say this?"
Shi Hao said: "The situation of King Han Xin of Qi at that time was that if he was with Chu, Chu would win, and if he was with Han, Han would be prosperous. Today's trend is that if the Song Dynasty helps Liao, Liao will destroy Jin, and if we help Jin, Jin will destroy Liao." Fang Jinshi listened. This statement seemed to make some sense at first, but after thinking about it carefully, Song's current strength may not be able to determine the rise and fall of the dynasty like Han Xin.
Taoist Priest Qinghe was convinced, and asked: "In your opinion, now that we are helping Jin to attack Liao, how long will it take for Liao to be defeated?"
Shi Hao thought for a while and said: "Although Daliao has been defeated many times now, it is a centipede insect with a vast territory and has been operating for three hundred years. Our dynasty cannot drive straight north, and the Jurchens have also been fighting for many years.The internal damage is serious, and the Liao Kingdom still has a chance to reorganize its rivers and mountains. At this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the Liao Dynasty for at least six or seven years. "
Fang Jinshi laughed to himself after hearing this. He had roughly calculated the time. If it was according to what was written in the books when he was in school, the Liao Kingdom should be destroyed within a year or two. But since he traveled through time, he was a little unsure whether it would still be the same as in the history books. develop.
Qinghe Taoist thought for a while and said: "In the past six or seven years, our court should make some preparations. If Yanyun is taken back, how to govern it? Whether Liao destroys Jin or Jin destroys Liao, there is a chance to regain these sixteen prefectures this time. .¡±
Shi Hao said again: "Then I will compare the strength of the Liao army with the strength of the armies in our dynasty. Let's start with our Hebei West Road. Hebei West Road" Fang Jinshi heard this and saw that this was another long speech. , At this time, there were as many as twenty-three roads in the Song Dynasty, and there were five capitals, six prefectures, and one hundred and fifty-six counties in the Liao Dynasty. If he continued to talk like this, wouldn't it be impossible to finish the story even if the sky was bright?
