"It is certainly a good thing to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, but at this time the Liao Kingdom has shown signs of decline, and it is unwise to unite with a stronger enemy. Qinbei Pavilion"
Gongsun Sheng said, he had been in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun for many years, and he knew the situation there very well. The decline of the Liao Kingdom was inevitable since Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo ascended the throne. This was an excellent thing for the Song Dynasty. After more than a hundred years, the Chanyuan Alliance is finally going to bring down the Liao Kingdom. At this time, helping the Jurchens to rise and destroy the Liao Kingdom is not inviting the wolf into the house.
Sun Lei listened to the words of Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang and Gongsun Sheng with satisfaction. He also agreed with Tang Bin's words. Everyone is good at different things and sees different things.
Tang Bin only saw the immediate future and was suitable for leading troops in combat; Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, and Gongsun Sheng had a long-term vision and were more suitable for making plans and coordinating the overall situation.
What Liangshan Bo in the original novel lacks is a long-term vision. Song Jiang is just a small official who only knows the insidious methods of small officials. He is short-sighted, and his subordinates are all reckless warriors. The main force is all surrenderers. In the end, the court makes a small plan and casually Given a little sweetness, Song Jiang and others were so fascinated that they couldn't find Bei.
Originally, he went to Liangshan to fight in all directions and made countless achievements, but suffered heavy casualties in the end. Song Jiang only exchanged the lives of so many brothers for a martial virtue doctor who was also the pacifier of Chuzhou and the general manager of the army. However, this official was poisoned after only a few days in the job. died. This is the fate of short-sighted people, being manipulated by smart people.
"Ha ha!"
Sun Lei couldn't help but laugh when he thought that he now had three military advisors to help him make plans and analyze things. The pressure suddenly disappeared and he felt relaxed.
"Why is my brother laughing?"
Wen Huanzhang looked at Sun Lei who suddenly laughed in confusion.
"I'm happy that I have three military advisors to help me make plans. As several military advisors have seen, most of my Liangshan brothers are like this. They are all good men when it comes to fighting, but when it comes to strategy, they are far behind."
"Recovering Yanyun is naturally a good thing, and it is also the dream of the warriors of the Central Plains for nearly two hundred years. But don't forget that you need to be strong to make iron. If the Jurchen clan of the Liao Kingdom can be defeated, can the Song Dynasty really suppress it? United Jurchens To destroy the Liao Dynasty is to seek skin from a tiger, thinking that you are taking advantage of the Jurchens, but in the end you will be threatened by the Jurchens again."
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Tang Bin and others and said.
Lu Zhishen and Tang Bin were silent. They knew exactly what the Song army was like. It was even worse than the corrupt Liao people. How could they deal with the Jurchens who were as fierce as wolves? Don't really become a piece of meat in the jackal's mouth in the end.
"Forgive me, military advisor, for being stupid!"
Tang Bin apologized to Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, and Gongsun Sheng and said that he had indeed thought of things too simply.
"Brother Tang Bin, there is no need to be like this. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are of great importance. It would be good if they could be taken back. With the Sixteen Prefectures and Yanshan as a barrier, the Central Plains will not have to worry about foreign invasion. This is a good thing, but no one knows at this time The consequences of doing this at this moment are good or bad.”
Xiao Jiasui sighed and said, he didn't know whether their worries were unnecessary, but from the information he learned, the imperial court, from the emperor to the ministers, were very excited. The Sixteen States of Yanyun were not just as simple as regaining their territory, but also The merits they needed to make them glorious for eternity were needed by the emperor, as well as by the civil servants and military generals. This was related to the interests of everyone in the court.
"Most of them are bad. Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom is the same as Huizong of the Song Dynasty. They are both stupid and unprincipled, but the heritage of the Liao Kingdom is still there, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is far better than that of the Zhao and Song Dynasties."
Gongsun Sheng said, he came from Yanyun, and he knew the situation of the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. Although the Liao Kingdom was unbearable, it was not something that the Song Dynasty army could compete with.
"I only hate that the emperor is stupid and his traitorous ministers are rampant. Otherwise, how could a million-strong army not be able to deal with the people!"
Lu Zhishen sighed. He was transferred from the Western Army to Guanxi as a governor. Later, he abandoned his official position and became a wanted criminal. He also had a deep understanding of the army and the government. There was no shortage of talents in the army who were good at fighting, but these people Most of them were framed by greedy and treacherous ministers, failed to achieve their ambitions, and left in depression.
"Brothers, you can't rely on people alone to fight this battle. This firearm can also turn the tide..."
When it came to the army fighting, Ling Zhen immediately said that his firearms can only exert their greatest power in battle formations.
"What kind of firearm? My ax is not vegetarian either!"
Li Kui had already eaten. His brothers were talking too profoundly and he couldn't get in the way, but he could get in the way with Ling Zhen's words. He didn't know what firearms were, but when it came to killing enemies in battle, his ax was the best. unrivaled.
"Brother Li Kui, you only have one pair of axes. You can only kill enemies one by one. My artillery can kill enemies from ten miles away. If you hit them with one shot, they will kill them one by one!"
Ling Zhen said unconvinced, forget about everything else, he will not give in on the artillery alone. Now that he has the gunpowder secretary taught by Sun Lei, the power of this artillery has greatly increased, and he is full of confidence in its performance on the battlefield.
"Let's go, you carry the cannon and compete with my axe!"
Li Kui was immediately dissatisfied when he saw Xin Lai's loud tone, and he was about to compete with Ling Zhen while holding an axe.
"Okay, stop making trouble!"
Sun Lei stopped Li Kui and Ling Zhen, and the serious atmosphere relaxed when these two people made a fuss.
"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Let's observe one or two first. Even if Zhao Ji and Tong Guan want to form an alliance with the Jurchens, it will not be a matter of a day or two. After all, there is still the Liao Kingdom between Song Ting and the Jurchens. They can even send letters to each other. It’s not easy, let alone forming an alliance?”
Sun Lei said, he remembered that the Song and Jin Dynasties had a maritime alliance, which seemed to go directly from Dengzhou to Liaodong. To go to Dengzhou from Tokyo, you must pass through Liangshanbo, so you can make a fuss about it.
"Brother is right. Although the Liao Kingdom is in trouble, it will be fine in the next few years. We still have some time."
Gongsun Sheng said, no matter what happens, the Liao Kingdom cannot be destroyed in an instant. They are now prepared and don't need to worry too much.
"What Taoist Master Gongsun said is absolutely true. We are too nervous."
Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang cupped their hands and said.
"When we return to Liangshan and develop well, if Zhao Song cannot be relied upon, we will have to rely on ourselves."
Sun Lei said with a smile that he didn't know much about war, but he knew that the Jurchens started because Wanyan Aguda only had 2,500 people. With just these people, they destroyed the Liao Kingdom after ten years of fighting, and then went south to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty in an instant. .
Sun Lei now has dozens of leaders in Liangshan and tens of thousands of followers. If he is given ten years, he does not believe that he will not be able to defeat the Jurchens. As for Ling Zhen's artillery, he will vigorously guide the development for ten years. It will not be a big problem in this era. As a time traveler, if you open your "eyes of heaven" a little, there are many ways to do it.
"Come on, you two strategists have worked hard, let's drink!"
Sun Lei raised his wine bowl and said to Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang. The two of them had been asking for news all night, and it was really hard.
"Thank you brother!"
Xiao Jiasui and Wen Huanzhang raised their glasses and said that it was much easier to say what was in their hearts. Sun Lei's confidence also infected them. Maybe they could not change the court, but Sun Lei's Liangshan was the stage for them to display their ambitions.
