Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Ju then met with some great monks from Hehuang.  These great monks should not be underestimated. Even during this period of history, they were very active. They not only cooperated with the Song Dynasty to persuade the tribes of Xizhou to surrender. In history, Zhongpu was fooled by a Fan monk and died in an ambush.  Even in the hands of Wang Ju, they were also very active. Wang Ju made a promise to them in Hezhou, that is, he would spend a lot of money and silk to build temples for them and spread "Buddhism". So many monks happily took the initiative to help Wang Ju.  Going to various ministries as a lobbyist also plays a big role.  So Wang Ju was busy with everything and fell behind, so he took the time to summon some famous Tibetan monks to Lanzhou.  They are all eminent monks, all of them look good and have fluttering robes. The people of Lanzhou looked at them and fell down on both sides of the road to worship.  Wang Ju was amused in his heart. Yes, it seems that these monks make people think they are superior, but don't take it seriously. They are the masters of a group of murderers and arsonists with gold belts.  He welcomed these eminent monks to the state government office, ordered the government office to serve tea, and then talk.  The first is to further win over.  Why did Wang Ju successfully capture the entire Huangzhou area?  In fact, the reason is very simple. It's not that the Tubo people are not strong, and this is their home field.  But the Tubo people are leaderless, Ali Gu, can they fully agree?  However, not many people agree with the Song Dynasty.  The current situation of Tubo is just like that of the Minions in the movie. Without their master, each of them has no master. Therefore, the role of these monks can be shown. Under their guidance, many Tubo will recognize the Song Dynasty as their master.  In this way, Hehuang will become more and more stable in the future.  Even if Wang Ju officially asked the people to pay taxes in the future, he would also ask these monks to mobilize and cooperate.  The second thing is to make another promise. In order to express his gratitude, Wang Ju will build further temples in these states once the imperial court deploys troops in the Hexi Corridor in the future, and invites them to promote Buddhism and carry forward Buddhism.  Wang Ju¡¯s intention in doing this.  In fact, it is to use Buddhism to build a firewall in the Hexi Corridor. Now Heihan has a good relationship with the Song Dynasty, but Wang Ju has always been worried about that religion.  Think about the tragedy during the Tongzhi period.  At present, the Hexi Corridor is still dominated by Buddhism, but Wang Ju learned from the intelligence obtained by the scouts that some Greens had invaded.  This is an extremely dangerous signal. Even if many people will migrate in the future, don¡¯t forget it.  This proportion of Uighurs is much higher than that of the Qing Dynasty.  But how did these monks know that they were all very grateful and went back happily.  The weather is getting colder, and some small rivers with shallow water are beginning to freeze.  The imperial court suddenly sent an envoy to deliver the imperial edict, and the imperial edict came to Beijing as quickly as possible to report on his duties.  It is normal to go to Beijing to report on work. Not only this year, but next year Wang Ju may also go to Beijing to report on work in order to communicate with the court.  Wang Ju needs to understand the situation in the country, and the country also needs to understand the situation in the northwest and Wang Ju's plan.  However, Qiong Niang held up the teapot and asked in surprise: "Envoy Zhu Zhong, it's too early." When it comes to reporting on duties, there is no difference between morning and evening. The problem is that Wang Ju is still needed to deal with the Khitan envoy, but it is only the beginning of winter, and  The word "quick" was added.  Wang Ju waved his hand to signal Qiongniang not to speak. He asked in a friendly voice: "Is the official dragon body still healthy?" "The Taibao has won a series of great victories. As the saying goes, people feel refreshed during happy events. How can the official dragon body be unhealthy?" Zhao  If Xu was still alive, the story of the twelve gold medals would not have happened, nor would Wang Ju be paranoid about such a big thing in the northwest.  There were many things, but what worried Wang Ju the most was Zhao Xu's health.  If Zhao Xu is safe, then there will be no monsters in the rear. But if Zhao Xu is in trouble, there will be monsters in the rear.  So Wang Ju said: "Okay, let's go back to the capital together." The group quickly returned to the capital.  Wang Jugang arrived in the capital.  He was invited to the palace by Zhao Xu.  He was taken to the Yanhe Hall by the eunuch. In addition to Zhao Xu, there were also several prime ministers present.  There are no other ministers, because they are likely to discuss some confidential military affairs below.  Zhao Xu got straight to the point and asked, "Wang Qing, why did you let Ambassador Xia come to Beijing with that letter of credence?" Everyone still hasn't figured it out yet.  Wang Ju said: "Your Majesty, this is a long story. Let me start with Liaodong. This spring, the Jurchen rebels swelled to nearly 40,000 people. In one go, they captured Xianzhou and Yinzhou.  Yinzhou (Tieling) is an important gateway to the entire southern Liaoning. Therefore, the Liao State launched an army of 70,000 to 80,000 troops to intercept it. When the two armies met, the Jurchens were gradually defeated. "Wang Ju's judgment of the Liao army's combat effectiveness mainly came from this.  battle.  "But I let the other side choose at that time."A past observer with some knowledge of military affairs, one of whom was the leader, Lu Hui, proposed a strategy to the Jurchens, asking them to retreat significantly until they reached a certain tributary in the upper reaches of the Huhan River.  .  "For those who know military knowledge on the other side, this is easy to understand. The other side is also fighting, but the enemy's level is lower. "In fact, you can't think of it this way. On the two continents over there, the enemy's level has also become very high.  "Then he used the strategy I had used in Huachi County, but the difference was that I used nine corpses to welcome the guests in Qingxichuan, which frightened the Xia army. Then they set up camp in Qingxichuan, and the water attack by Chen  The plan succeeded.  However, Lu Hui directly ordered three thousand Jurchen troops to confront each other across the river, forcibly blocking the main force of tens of thousands of Liao troops on the other side of the river, and then dug up a dam dozens of miles upstream, causing the tens of thousands of Liao troops to almost be annihilated.  .  "The tens of thousands of Liao troops were almost wiped out, and the three thousand Jurchen warriors were also almost wiped out. But they were not their own children, so they wouldn't be heartbroken no matter how they were sold. "After this battle, the Jurchens grew rapidly, including Changbai Mountain.  The tribe, the Huiba tribe, and some tribes all came to seek refuge.  Therefore, the Liao State assembled another 200,000 troops and attacked from two directions.  Lu Hui saw that the enemy was strong, so he ordered the Jurchens to send part of their troops down the Yalu River. Just as the Liao army on the east side of the Yalu River had mobilized all its troops, he quickly occupied Baozhou and Kaizhou on the west bank of the Liao Kingdom, and then let them  Using Korean language, they pretended to be an order from the King of Korea, Wang Xun, and seduced a group of Korean soldiers on the other side to lead their troops and replace them.  Then they retreated from the trail to the east coast of Goryeo, and turned back with the help of sea ships.  " First, Wu Nan and others entered Goryeo in the spring, and even came to the vicinity of the Yalu River to inquire about the terrain and various conditions. At the same time, they also learned that there was a Goryeo guard named Li Bingzhen who was very brave. He hated the Liao Kingdom, but this man  He was a man of great strength but lacked brains. The gap was opened by his hands. But the source still came from the Liao Kingdom. Looking around, it seemed that there was no opponent, so the previous king from Goryeo.  Wang Hui began to harass Goryeo again, causing the Goryeo people to feel hatred and fear just like the Song soldiers did to Xixia during the Qingli period. Of course, Wang Ju did not know these situations across the sea.  Otherwise, he would have made better moves. After Wu Nan sent people to find out, Wu Nan and Lu Hui took advantage of this situation to make these arrangements. First, he hated the general Li Bingzhen.  Secondly, he has strong limbs and a simple mind, so he is easy to be fooled. But the whole process is not as simple as Wang Ju said. Especially from the moment he seduces Li Bingzhen, it can be said that Li Bingzhen leads Gao Li to surprise at every step.  After the troops and horses were handed over to Kaiyuan City, it was also difficult to withdraw to Goryeo, because now the entire Yalu River was controlled by the Liao Kingdom, including the entire Changbai Mountain area along the east coast of Goryeo, south to Xingnan, North Korea, all belonged to the Liao Kingdom, although this  The terrain is mainly mountainous, and the Liao Kingdom still has some outposts and forts stationed there. Therefore, it is not only necessary to hide it from the eyes of the Koryo people, but also from the eyes of the Liao people before they can slowly sneak to the east coast.  With the help of the night, we used a small boat to board the big ship, and then followed the northeast wind to return to Mizhou and the other shore. But I will not talk about the five thousand soldiers and horses on the other side, otherwise it will make everyone have some unnecessary associations with the Song Dynasty.  At the time of the war, there were no natural enemies on the coast, including the Japanese country. The richest country now was not the Song Dynasty, but the Japanese country. With the large quantities of wood and gold and silver being transported to the Song Dynasty, various commodities in short supply from the Japanese country also came from the Song Dynasty.  The Song Dynasty continued to transport them, but quietly, the water and soil in some areas of the Japanese country began to deteriorate. In fact, even if the water and soil did not deteriorate and there was no sea ban, there would be no secret collusion with coastal merchants, and the Japanese pirates would not be able to cause harm.  When it is enough to cause harm, history will open a new chapter. From this point of view, there is no need for the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty to be worried in the future. Zhao Xu said: "No wonder" "No wonder?  " "Wang Qing, please continue speaking first.  " "Lu Hui over in Liaodong saw that the enemy was powerful, so he continued to guide these Jurchens, using Li Jiqian's tactics, coupled with the deep mountains and black waters in Liaodong, the vast land and sparsely populated areas, to launch a guerrilla war with the Liao army.  " "Guerrilla warfare?  "Fan Chunren asked puzzledly. "When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance. That is to use the advantages of the terrain to find ways to avoid the enemy's main army, constantly harassing its rear and its supplies, or seeing the enemy's small  Form an army, gather superior strength, and annihilate them.  Even at the Guanjian period, you can pretend to surrender and wait until the enemy's main army has left to rebel again.  You must know that the entire deep area of ??Liaodong is very large.Of course, there are definitely not only these 40,000 to 50,000 men, but also many tribes who did not participate in the rebellion.  Under such repeated false surrenders, the Liao army would misjudge and suppress some tribes that did not rebel, and execute some of the tribe's warriors who really surrendered. Then the scale of the rebellion would become larger and larger.  The several generals sent by the Liao Kingdom this time seemed to be capable, but because of this measure, the rebellion was not eliminated until the end of the autumn.  " After thousands of troops from the other side evacuated, Lu Hui and dozens of generals did not retreat, but they were mixed in with the huge rebel army and were not conspicuous. If there is really danger and there are few people, it is easy to escape. There is another one over there  In Buluo Port, a small boat escaped. The following news was sent by Wu Nan and others on his way to Beijing. "Can this be postponed until next year?"  " "I don't know very well. The Jurchens are not afraid of the cold, and the people of Liao are not afraid of the cold either. Especially because of the war, farming and animal husbandry have been seriously damaged, and it will be very difficult in winter.  " Wang Ju sighed. There is a difference between having Wanyan Aguda and not having Wanyan Aguda. "But no matter what, the Liao Kingdom suffered a heavy blow this year.  So when Liu Changzuo sent this letter of credence to the minister, Han Yun, the minister's accomplice, said that he would immediately send the Xia envoy out of the country with this letter of credence.  However, I did not agree.  After all, Xixia was in extreme embarrassment this year, and our government occupied Yinzhou again. However, in order to confuse the Liao Kingdom, I told the Liao envoy that I would go to the northwest to rectify the border defenses, and by the way, I would teach Xixia a lesson, not to destroy Xixia, so as to gain precious time.  If such documents of credence are twisted and sent out of the country, the intention of the minister will be clear.  " "You mean you agree to negotiate peace?  " "Exactly.  " "After agreeing to negotiate peace, we will use troops" Fan Chunren said. "Fan Gong, the core idea of ??Confucianism is that the inner saint is the outer king.  What is the holy and royal way?  Be benevolent to the inside, and be level-headed, aggressive, and ruthless to the outside.  Do whatever it takes.  As for promises, they have to be kept, but Guan Jian depends on who will keep them. Has Xixia kept its covenant with us?  Even if the Liao Kingdom was better, it turned 300,000 into 500,000.  The friendship of the year turned into the humiliation of the year, and the Hedong side extorted another seven hundred miles and left.  In fact, peace is created by a strong country. Since ancient times, no covenant can bring real peace. On the contrary, smart people will use covenants to confuse the enemy and restrain the enemy's hands and feet.  Only a fool would bind himself hand and foot with a covenant.  Let me give you an example: was Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty a wise king?  Tang Taizong and Tu Li formed an alliance on the banks of the Weishui River, but how did Tang Taizong treat this ally in the end?  The reason why Wen Gong and I often clash is because of this disagreement in ideas.  I'm talking about loving the people.  He loves all the people. The only people in the eyes of Duke Wen are scholar-bureaucrats.  But are brothers Zhang Jiao scholar-officials, are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang scholar-officials, are Huang Chao scholar-officials?  Then my idea is to be a saint on the inside and a king on the outside. I want to make all the people in the country as wealthy as possible, strengthen myself, and be ruthless to the outside world.  However, Duke Wen led the Song Dynasty to the inner king and the outer sage, benevolent to the scholar-bureaucrats and benevolent to the enemies.  Treat the common people harshly. He is a Confucian minister, but he does the opposite of Confucianism" Especially in the Qing Dynasty, they would rather give gifts to friends than to domestic slaves. And this kind of thinking even affected the Communist Party, and many people suffered.  Even if the fenzi is removed, the fenzi in the heart is still not removed. What's more, if you go too far, you will be infertile, whether it is through borrowing seeds or surrogacy, how many people actually use Japanese people.  Surrogacy, and paying a lot of money to ask Japanese people to be surrogates, how cheap it is! "Your Majesty, there is another reason why I did this. Originally, Liang Yibu had a good plan this time. If our court does not agree to negotiate, it will make the people of all tribes in Xixia suffer.  Sharing the same hatred as the enemy will win the help of the Liao people.  " "Help from the Liao people?  "Zhao Xu was surprised. "If what Wang Ju said is true, the Liao Kingdom suffered heavy losses this time. In the previous two times, the Jurchens had at least defeated nearly 100,000 troops, and now there are still 200,000 troops trapped in Liaodong.  , How to help Xixia? "The whole people of the Liao Kingdom are soldiers. Of course, this is impossible. If you really want to help, even if the 200,000-strong army is trapped in Liaodong, many soldiers and horses will be sent out.  "Wang Ju explained briefly. For the first time in history, the Liao Kingdom dispatched 100,000 troops to suppress Wanyan Aguda and failed. The Liao Kingdom then dispatched another 700,000 troops. Of course, this is also the limit of the Liao Kingdom, so 70  After the defeat of thousands of soldiers and horses, the Liao Kingdom had no troops and was quickly destroyed. Therefore, Wang Ju said that if the Liao Kingdom really agreed to rescue Xixia, it was still possible to mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.  It's not as powerful as we imagined, but it's not that weak either. If the two sides start a war, there will be some variables.  Now it is still my original strategy, first continue to stabilize the Liao Kingdom, and then quickly destroy Xixia. Even if the Liao Kingdom sends troops at that time, I will not be afraid.  But in these short few months, it is best not to have any accidents happen. Now Xixia sent envoys to negotiate peace, and our court also agreed to the peace. After the peace was negotiated, it wasThey have confused the Liao Kingdom. Maybe they will send out more troops at the beginning of spring in order to solve Liaodong as soon as possible.  In that way, the northwest can be determined.  " Zhao Xu took a few steps. Although what Wang Ju said made sense, no matter what, he had already agreed to peace and then immediately regretted it. Zhao Xu couldn't do this kind of thing. "Your Majesty, don't worry, sir.  There is another more important reason for this choice, that is, Liang Yibu drew an extra tail this time.  " " Superfluous?  " "Well, originally Liang Yibu's strategy was good this time. I disagreed that it would be inappropriate to negotiate peace. I agreed to negotiate peace. I still have one and a half years before I go to the other side. Then Xixia will gain important breathing time and be able to fight again in the future.  Comeback.  But after he wrote this letter of credence, he secretly sent spies to sneak into the border of our country and threatened everywhere that his military ability was better than Liu Jinu's.  Destroy Helan, and the mainstay will flow.  " "Who dares to spread such a threat?  "Zhang Dun said. "Zihou, Guan Jian has a few people who know who Liu Jinnu is, and Xixia has repeatedly invaded over the years.  It is difficult to imagine the hardships of the people on the border without seeing it with your own eyes, especially the people of Gyeongju and Yeonju.  The former caused many civilians to die in foreign lands due to the defeat of Lingzhou, while the latter also turned into bones due to the defeat of Yongle City.  Now our government has reversed the situation and achieved great successes many times, and the people on the border are unimaginably happy.  Therefore, they loved the Song Dynasty even more, and loved the officers and soldiers of the three armies, including the ministers. They thought that Jinu was still a famous general from the Hu people, and he had some words that directly criticized Helan, so they spread the song one after another.  Then when the news reached the capital, His Majesty was afraid of his ministers and took back his military power. The crisis in Xixia was resolved.  " "This is what I call the tail. First, he underestimated your Majesty's trust in me.  Second, he underestimated the love of the soldiers of the three armies for the Song Dynasty.  If I direct a large army to attack the enemy, all the soldiers of the three armies will move forward bravely. But if I lead the three armies to the rear, I believe that if I give the order from the front, the soldiers of the three armies will be torn apart by swords from behind.  Therefore, in order to govern the country, the king must be wise, the ministers must be wise, and the government must be clear.  " "Not only will this tail not work, but it will be used by me. I ordered the border generals.  These scouts were secretly investigated and monitored, and by next spring, they were all captured in one fell swoop.  Since Liang Yibu compared the minister to the Emperor Gaozu of the Southern Song Dynasty and used it to frame him, will he still abide by the peace agreement?  "There is an excuse. But it's not that simple. If Wang Ju doesn't open up about it, talk about it and make use of it. Once it spreads to the capital, it will definitely make Zhao Xu suspicious. Even if Xixia is destroyed next year,  The soldiers of the three armies cannot disband and return to their fields. They still have to defend the Liao Kingdom and build the Great Wall. As long as Zhao Xu takes back Wang Ju's military power, the matter will be over. Besides, there are many political enemies of Wang Ju in the court. Hearing this rumor,  What will they do? You know, sometimes killing with a stick can also kill people. Otherwise, Liu Changzuo heard this folk song being sung, and immediately wrote to Wang Ju and sent many people to investigate.  Where did it come from? This metaphor is very vicious, because Wang Ju's achievements are so similar to Liu Yu's original achievements. The troops he has and his prestige in the army are also very similar. Think about it back then.  Song only used Yihuo's power to take down Fu Bi, Shi Jie and others. Are Yi Yin and Huo Guang considered rebels? But what Wang Ju said is not unreasonable.  The reason why Liu Yu successfully replaced Sima and became emperor was that the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in chaos and lost the support of the people. In the current Song Dynasty, Wang Ju had that idea to see how many soldiers and people supported his rebellion.  ? Less than 20%! But even after Wang Ju revealed it, the matter was not over But Wang Ju was not in a hurry, Guan Jian was just next year, and time passed quickly, and the year passed in the blink of an eye.  By the year after next, the overall situation had been decided, some soldiers were sent back, and the time for Wang Ju to go to the other side was approaching. At that time, who would use this to talk about things? Wang Ju had already said it, so he didn¡¯t go into detail.  He asked: "Your Majesty, you can just issue an edict and ask the minister about this matter. Why did you send the edict back to the capital so early?"  " It's okay to go to Beijing to report on your work, but there are still a lot of things in the northwest. "Korea also sent envoys. It was about the time when the Koryo people sent troops to open the state of Liao. The emperor of Liao was furious and defeated him. He also sent envoys to rebuke Goryeo.  King, the King of Goryeo suspected that our court was responsible for putting the blame on them, so he sent an envoy to inquire.  " Zhao Xu doesn't know the specific details. In fact, when thousands of soldiers from the other side captured Kaizhou City, the Liao Kingdom began to send troops to rescue. When the Liao army arrived, thousands of soldiers from the other side sneaked away. Li Bingzhen really became the scapegoat. The two countries  Fighting under the city of Kaizhou, the Liao army was small, and Li Bingzhen's army was even smaller. The Goryeo army quickly conquered.??Beat.  This time it was not done by the Koreans; it was also done by the Koreans.  However, the Liao army was restrained by the Jurchens in the depths of Liaodong. The Liao army took back the old city and fortress and did not dare to attack Goryeo. However, Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji was so angry that he sent envoys to question him first.  Not only did they question why Goryeo sent troops to capture Liao Fort and Kaizhou on both sides of the Yalu River, but they also questioned why Goryeo supported the Jurchens' armor and weapons and encouraged them to rebel.  The King of Goryeo was confused and sent someone to investigate.  There is indeed a rebellion happening deep in Liaodong, the Liao Kingdom, but the exact situation is not clear to the scouts.  Li Bingzhen did indeed lead troops to enter Laiyuan City in Kaizhou, but it was not he who captured it, but thousands of other Goryeo soldiers who captured it. Those thousands of Goryeo soldiers were never found, and what's even more hateful is that  These thousands of Goryeo soldiers also falsely conveyed his orders, which led to Li Bingzhen being fooled.  The king of Goryeo, Wang Xuan, was so angry that he executed Li Bingzhen first. The reason why Li Bingzhen was fooled was because he saw the two sides fighting fiercely before and because he hated the Liao Kingdom. However, Goryeo sent an order and there was a letter of order seal. He could not see the two sides fighting. There was nothing.  If you order the talisman to seal the letter, you will be fooled.  Wang Xu also sent Li Bingzhen's head to the Liao Kingdom to apologize, and then discussed with the ministers what happened to these thousands of people. Some people suspected that it was the Song Dynasty, but some people did not believe that if the Song Dynasty attacked the Liao Kingdom, it would not attack Yanyun.  Region, why did you come to Liaodong?  In desperation, Wang Xi sent people to continue the investigation, and at the same time sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to ask tentative questions.  Anyway, the maritime trade of the Song Dynasty has become more developed under the leadership of the other side. There are not only ships from the other side, but also many ships from the Song Dynasty.  Moreover, just across the strait, a shipping department was established in Michigan, which was actually not that far away.  After receiving the report from the Municipal Shipping Department, the officials did not know how to answer, and no one even knew the detailed situation. Therefore, Zhao Xu issued an edict for Wang Ju to enter the capital quickly.  He also ordered officials along the way to entertain the Korean envoys warmly and to hold them back as much as possible.  Despite this, the Koryo envoy arrived in the capital the day before yesterday and is still dragging him to the posthouse.  "Your Majesty, let me handle this Your Majesty, the present of the Song Dynasty is your Majesty, and the future of the Song Dynasty is the prince. When I receive the Korean envoys, I will receive them and their party in the name of the prince, and then I will speak." This is  The nice thing to say is that the servant Zhao was allowed to watch from the sidelines and see how Wang Ju negotiated with the Goryeo envoy.  Fan Chunren opened his mouth again. Wang Ju had good intentions. He was training the prince for the Song Dynasty, but was this really good or appropriate?  (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
