    Everyone sat down in two compartments, and Tong Guan suddenly waved to the side near the door: "Juncheng, sit closer to the front. You have made great contributions to Yanjing this time!" Everyone's eyes suddenly pointed at Tong Guan.  Gathering in the direction, there was a tall man, very impressive.  He is about thirty years old. Judging from his clothes, he is just a sixth- or seventh-grade military attache. Although he is considered fast according to his age, he is nothing in this nursing room, let alone a child.  Say hello in person.  When he was confused, he saw the man bowing to Tong Guan: "That's the duty of a general, and you shouldn't praise the commander!" "Come on, sit down!" Tong Guan pointed to the right side with a smile.  A chair: "Juncheng, don't be too modest. If you hadn't risked your life to return the news from Yanjing, a certain family would have fallen into Cai Yuanchang's trap and ruined the plan of conquering Liao. This is not a great achievement.  What a great contribution. Don¡¯t worry, I, Mr. Tong, will never forget your merit and gratitude!¡± If everyone was just surprised just now, they are already envious and jealous.  Everyone knows that since the recent resignation of Cai Jing as prime minister, Tong Guan has joined forces with the current ruling king, generals and military officials, and took advantage of the opportunity to preside over the alliance with Jin to conquer Liao Dynasty to firmly hold the power of the court in his hands.  Cai Jing naturally hates this power alliance and wants to destroy it quickly.  However, the civil politics of the Northern Song Dynasty had its own rules. To put it bluntly, it was a "line struggle." Since the central task of Tong Guan and Wang Fu after they came to power was to unite the Jin Dynasty and conquer the Liao Dynasty, Cai Jing had to criticize this "central task" if he wanted to come to power.  Criticize the bad stuff.  This high-level power struggle is absolutely life-and-death, and this person can take credit in this political struggle.  But it is 10,000 times more powerful in Tong Guan's heart than any military exploits. "Thank you, Marshal Xuan, for showing your love!" Hearing Tong Guan's words, Zhou Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It was obvious that Tong Guan had taken a fancy to him. What he meant by this was that  Announce to everyone - "This is a member of our family", you can win over yourself, but also cut off your own escape, the only choice is to hug Tong Guan's thigh tightly.  Otherwise, if people from Cai Jing's group come back to power, he will definitely be dead.  "Everyone!" Seeing that Zhou Ping had sat down, Tong Guan's face became serious: "When a certain family was banned today, the officials had already made up their minds to conquer the Liao Dynasty. Wang Dazai has also patted his chest. From all over the country  The states and counties collected a total of 65 million yuan to conquer Yan, so there is no need to worry about military expenses!" After hearing Tong Guan's words, everyone's eyes lit up, in accordance with the military system of the Northern Song Dynasty.  To put it bluntly, fighting a war means fighting for money.  Needless to say, military pay, pickle money, and clothing gifts in winter and summer.  Even if an archer shoots an arrow in battle, he will have to throw cash at his feet. Such an army has no money but no fighting power.  With such a large amount of money to support it, even the first-level officials will share the profits.  There was enough left over, and it goes without saying that he could get a share of the pie. When he thought of this, everyone in the hall became excited.  "The military power of this dynasty is as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties. This expedition to Liao will definitely succeed immediately, and the commander-in-chief will also be famous in history!" A quick reaction immediately jumped out and flattered others. Not to be left behind, others followed suit.  , Tong Guan was so excited when he heard it, and he almost lost his eyes when he smiled while stroking the dozen or so beards under his chin.  "Commander Xuan!" Wang Zhen was more prudent among the crowd. He reminded carefully: "Now Yelu Chun has also sent an envoy to discuss the matter of annexation. Will there be any changes in the dispatch of troops?" "Oh.  ! That's just Yelu Chun's plan to delay the war!" Tong Guan laughed: "He sent an envoy and said he wanted to include it, but firstly there was no map of the state and county, and secondly there was no treasury list, so who would believe him?  I just said it in the ban, let our family concentrate on using the troops, and there will be no constraints in the court! " "May I ask Commander Xuan, what are the arrangements for sending troops?" Wang Zhen has the highest official position among them, and is also the most trusted by Tong Guan.  He raised the issue that everyone was most concerned about.  Tong Guan laughed loudly after hearing this: "Well, anyway, the court will announce it in a few days at most. The appointment of the commander-in-chief is naturally our family, the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Hebei and Hedong is Cai You, the governor of the capital is an old man, the former military commander  The master is Yang Keshi!" After hearing this, everyone lowered their heads and thought.  Throughout the ages, the leader of an organization has had nothing more than two powers: financial power and personnel power. The best way to understand the leader's governance ideas is through personnel arrangements.  With Tong Guan's qualifications and status, he served as the propaganda envoy of Hebei and Hedong and the commander-in-chief of the war against Liao. This was something that everyone expected; while Cai You became a bachelor of Xuanhe Hall and entered the political affairs hall.  He has not been sent out to serve as a civilian official in the prefectures and counties, and has almost no military and political experience in any aspect. The emperor chose this person to be Tong Guan's deputy just to follow him. Of course, this is also a good thing for Tong Guan, in case something goes wrong.  Contain yourself.  The reason why Lao Zhongzhong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the capital, that is, the former enemy commander, was because Zhongshidao was the best in the Western Army in terms of reputation, qualifications and specific command ability; secondly, this person was not Tong Guanyi.Yes, although Zhao Ji was very fond of Tong Guan, according to the ancestral laws of the Northern Song Dynasty, the army would never send people on the same route from top to bottom when going out for an expedition. This is what the title should mean.  And Yang Keshi is a famous enemy in the Western Army. Both brothers are famous generals. They were promoted by Tong Guan, so it is normal for them to be the vanguard.  Everyone was thinking about how they could win a favorable position in the Liao army when they suddenly heard Tong Guan's voice: "Juncheng, you have made great contributions when you came back from Yanjing this time. A certain family defeated the Czech army.  There is still a commander missing in the right compartment, do you have any intention? " If everyone was still envious and jealous of Zhou Ping just now, at this time, many people's eyes are already a bit flattering.  It should be noted that the Shengjie Army was Tong Guan's personal army, with tens of thousands of people in total. According to the military system of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Shengjie Army was divided into left and right compartments. Below the compartment was the military commander, who could lead 2,500 troops. This group  After the war, it is not uncommon for people to be released and controlled by a bell.  I don¡¯t know how this guy followed Tong Guan¡¯s wishes and rose to the top so quickly.  "General, I would like to thank Tong Xiang for his love!" Zhou Ping hurriedly stood up and saluted. His mood at this time was quite contradictory. This Tong Guan's reputation in the history of youth can be said to be stinking, and he is indeed very selfish, but he is indeed very fond of himself.  With the grace of promotion, given my background, if I had not won his appreciation, I would have been just a county captain catching thieves in the county for the rest of my life.  If one follows the traditional morality of repaying kindness with gratitude, what Zhou Ping should do is to repay kindness and do his best to be Tong Guan's lackey. However, as a time traveler, Zhou Ping knows better that in the subsequent war against Liao and the Jingkang storm,  Tong Guan's mistake brought extremely serious consequences to the entire country.  "If I can capture Yanjing, maybe the following things will not happen!" Zhou Ping thought to himself. He gritted his teeth and said loudly to Tong Guan, "Commander Xuan, there is another general at the end.  Request!" "Oh?" Tong Guan was obviously a little surprised, but he was in a good mood at this time and said with a smile, "Juncheng, please tell me." "I want to go to Yingzhou first and then take up a post in Shengjie Army.  !" Having said this, Zhou Ping settled Luo Sheer in Yingzhou. He tried his best to send people to transport salt and armor. After telling the whole story in detail, he said in a deep voice: "I thought I was going to win with my subordinates.  It is better to go to Yingzhou and be more useful to the court as a commander in the army." After Zhou Ping finished speaking, the room fell silent for a while, and everyone remained silent, quietly waiting for Tong Guan's decision.  However, the gazes they cast on Zhou Ping had changed a lot. If before, they had a utilitarian attitude of envy, jealousy, hatred, or intent to please, now there was a lot more admiration in their gazes.  Obviously, being the commander of the victorious army is a very safe and profitable job. In the future war against Liao, the commander's guards will not need to fight hard battles; and in the list of merit reports to the court  On the battlefield, Tong Guan would never forget the name of his confidant; but in Yingzhou, which is far behind enemy lines, it is a different matter. Khitans, Xi people, Jin soldiers, horse thieves or simply local tribes, any stray arrow may kill him.  If you take your life, no matter how generous the reward from the court is, it is meaningless to a dead man.  "Xuan Shuai!" The speaker was Tong Guan's favorite general Wang Zhen. He broke the silence: "The last general thinks that General Zhou should not be allowed to go. Since there is someone in charge over there, why send one more person to take risks? Besides,  Not far away from Yingzhou is the Jin Bing!" Wang Zhen stopped here, but everyone in the room understood what he meant. Since the Jin Bing has already arrived at Yingzhou, they will march according to the route agreed by both parties.  , there is no need to send people there. Anyway, as long as Yanjing is captured, Yingzhou will naturally not attack it.  "Xuan Shuai!" Zhou Ping hurriedly retorted: "It is precisely because the Jin army has reached Yingzhou that the Song Dynasty should have buried a secret there!" Tong Guan couldn't help but trembled after hearing this.  The highest military commander of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was naturally better able to understand the meaning of Zhou Ping's words than anyone else in the office.  An alliance agreement is one thing, but putting the agreement on paper into practice is another.  The Jin soldiers have not gone south now, possibly because they abide by the agreement, but more likely because they are still dealing with the remaining forces of the Liao Kingdom in Yunzhong and beyond the Great Wall, and are unable to go south.  If the Song Dynasty can lay a trap in Yingzhou, which is guarding the main road from Yunzhong to the land of Youzhou, there is no doubt that it will occupy a very advantageous position in the next round of competition.  Zhou Ping is indeed a rare talent who can see this and take the initiative to do it. But the problem now is: throwing such a talent, especially a talent in his own pocket, into such a dangerous environment,  Is it appropriate?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
