Of course Zhao Huan knew Zhao Kai's character and identity, and he also knew that if he took power, more people would have thoughts about him, and the old people would have some sentimental thoughts about him again.
But this is not important anymore, this does not stop Zhao Huan's determination to let him go to Yanjing.
how so?
Zhao Ding's plan was to use Hedong Road to solve the problem, but Zhao Huan's idea was to use the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures that were no longer available to solve the problem!
In fact, before the conversation between Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai, there was another conversation, which was an argument between Zhao Huan and Zhao Ding.
"Zhao Qing's idea is reasonable and reasonable, but although Hedong now feels a bit dilapidated, the foundation of Hedong is still there, and it is our best choice to connect to the Western Military Pass and other places.
If we give up Hedong Road, even if we give up most of it, it will definitely become the main battlefield in the future, which will put a lot of pressure on us.
So it is better to change the idea and completely abandon the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture for the time being.
Although I really don't want to admit it, the mouth of the Yellow River in the Wuyi Dynasty of the Song Dynasty has completely eroded the entire land of Hebei. Zhao Qing is right about one thing.
That is, today's Hebei is no longer the grain-producing land of our Song Dynasty, but has become a drag, a fatal drag on our Song Dynasty.
Since the land of Hebei has been corrupted by me waiting for myself, it is better to give up on them directly.
But if we give up the land of Hebei, then the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun will really become an enclave!
The Pingzhou area where Zhang Jue was stationed at that time was the junction. The empty cities of Yanjing, Zhuo, Yi, Tan, Shun, Jing, and Ji were assigned to our Song Dynasty.
This is a drag on our food supply in the Song Dynasty. Once the Hebei Road is gone, the Yanyun land will be even more unsustainable.
Instead of doing this, it's better to force the opponent here! "
Zhao Huan's plan was fine, but Zhao Ding really couldn't figure out why His Majesty felt that the battlefield in Yanyun Land could hold back the Jin's final reinforcements?
"Your Majesty, this is a good idea, but it is unrealistic.
Yanshan Mansion is originally an open land. Although there are many dangerous places, without people, no logistics, and no foundation, we cannot defend this dangerous place no matter how good it is.
This is not only known to us, but also to the Jin people, and even to Guo Yaoshi and others.
Why did Pharmacist Guo work so hard to collect the food and baggage? Why was he so anxious that he even detained Cai Jing and others?
After all, he has never been reassured. He can't guarantee that he will be able to win, and he can't guarantee that His Majesty will be willing to give up the Yanyun Sixteen States that he finally obtained.
I can't even guarantee that after this incident occurs, I will vent my anger on him and calm the world's anger.
So he was always ready to surrender.
Now His Majesty wants to forcefully drag down this Yanyun land to serve as the main battlefield and hold back the main force of the Jin people. Your Majesty may even want to force Jin Wushu and Wan Yanchang from Hebei Road to return to the Yanjing land together.
At that time, Hebei Road will be able to reduce a lot of pressure.
But, this is not what they can do if we want him to do it!
The Jin people now understood that as long as they penetrated Hedong Road, they could directly attack Luoyang.
When that time comes, cutting off the eight passes of Luoyang and occupying Hangu, whether it is Guanzhong or Xixia, will be within their grasp.
With such a good situation, they have no reason to wait with me to fight in Yanyun Land. "
Zhao Huan rubbed his chin, and then thought of his genius brother, Zhao Kai!
"There are quite a few famous generals in today's world, not to mention the late Zhongshi Dao old general, Zongze, and among the Zhongshi, there are also Yao Gu who are also very capable.
But the Jin people Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyanchang and Jin Wushu are now facing off against General Zongze.
Plus many generals who surrendered from the Liao Kingdom.
These people are now far more powerful than me, the Song Dynasty.
Although Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and others were very capable, they were still too young and did not have enough prestige, and the soldiers and horses under their command were not considered elite.
In this case, we actually have another way.
That is Chang Shengjun and Guo Yaoshi!
Do you remember that their origin seems to be quite legendary? "
"Your Majesty, in the sixth year of the Tianqing reign of Emperor Tianzuo, Gao Yongchang from Bohai killed Xiao Baoxian, who was left in Liaodong and claimed to be the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. He changed the Yuan Dynasty to Yingshun and occupied more than 50 states in Liaodong.
Emperor Tianzuo sent Zhang Lin to attack, but before the rebellion was put down, he was directly defeated in Shenzhou by the Jin people who supported Gao Yongchang.
In the end, Emperor Tianzuo had no choice but to appoint King Yelu Chun of Yan as the marshal of the capital. He recruited the hungry people of Liaodong to take revenge on the Jurchens. He called it the "Resentful Army", which was divided into Qianyi Camp, Houyi Camp, Qianjin Camp, and Qianjin Camp. There are eight camps in total: Houjin Camp, Qianying, Xianying, Qianxian Camp, and Yanzhou Camp.
At the beginning of that year, the resentful army attacked 28,000 people, and their combat effectiveness could only be described as average.
But now, Pharmacist Guo, the Ling Hui who was killed by Yue Fei, and Zhen Wuchen beside Pharmacist Guo are all leaders along the way.
But the combat effectiveness of the resentful army back then was really nothing. It was very difficult for a group of guys from hungry people to suppress themselves and not launch troops to plunder.
Not to mention anything else.
At that time, they were not only disadvantaged in fighting, but also had rebellions one after another. It should be five years ago that Dong Xiuo, the general of the resentful army on the Southeast Road, was executed because of his failure in conquering the Lizhou rebellion. So his subordinates Luo Qinghan, Dong Zhongsun and others led the resentful army to rebel.
Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom could only once again appoint the commanders Yelu Yujian and Xiao Qian to lead troops to quell the rebellion. However, at this time, Guo Yaoshi and others felt that they could no longer support it.
They had no food, no baggage, and no stable and adequate rear.
In desperation, he simply chose to accept the recruitment of the Liao Kingdom. Guo Yaoshi and others expressed their determination by killing several Luo Qinghan people. In the days that followed, the Liao Kingdom also began to take these soldiers seriously.
The Liao State selected 20,000 people from them and organized them into four battalions. They appointed Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, and Zhen Wuchen to be their respective commanders. They dismantled the remaining troops and threw them into the Forbidden Army in various places.
But even during this period of time, this group of people had already made a lot of noise. Five years ago, it was a rebellion by the entire army. Before that, there was a rebellion by two battalions and they massacred Qianzhou. Five years ago, there was a rebellion. That time they almost massacred Jinzhou again.
At that time, Yelu Yujian had actually seen that Yaoshi Guo's character was somewhat cunning and changeable, and his personality was capricious.
Therefore, it is suggested that Xiao Qian take advantage of his dismantlement and send troops to cover up and kill them all, so as to avoid future troubles forever.
It's just that Xiao Qian refused to listen to this suggestion at the beginning.
Four years ago, Yelu Chun changed the Resentful Army into the Ever-Victorious Army. At the same time, that year, Pharmacist Guo had become a famous figure among the Resentful Army. Zhen Wuchen and others were quite convinced of him.
Therefore, Yelv Chun appointed Guo Pharmacist as the commander-in-chief of the Ever-victorious Army, and then garrisoned Zhuozhou.
In June, Yelu Chun died of illness, and his wife Xiao Puxian became the empress dowager. Xiao Qian, the Northern Privy Envoy, took over the dictatorship. The next month, the late emperor appointed Liu Yanqing as the capital commander and led 200,000 troops to send troops to the Northern Liao Dynasty again.
At this time, Taiwei Li Chuwen and his son Qiantong Tongguan were executed, and "at the beginning of King Yan's arrogance, the Han army was large and the Fan army was small. Xiao Qian suggested that more than 2,000 people from the east and west, as well as the kings of the north and south, The king of the Yi family and the Pi family dragged Si Si fiercely."
The bottom line is that they no longer trust soldiers of Han origin.
In just a few months, Pharmacist Guo has expanded his strength and become an indispensable person in the Liao Kingdom.
Xiao Qian was very afraid of Pharmacist Guo at this time and wanted to take him down secretly. As a result... His Majesty will know what happened next.
Pharmacist Guo encouraged everyone under his command and led them to surrender to our Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Army, and easily took over the land of Yanjing, if it weren't for... if it weren't for Liu Yanqing being instigated by Zhang Linghui and others who took refuge in him.
He allowed his troops to massacre and loot the city of Yanjing wantonly, committing all kinds of evil and torturing the people.
The situation in Yanyun Land will not be like this at all.
Starting from June of the previous year, Xiao Qian led his troops out of Lulongling and attacked Jingzhou due to lack of food.
He also defeated Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren of the ever-victorious army in Shimen Town, which caused them to completely belong to the Western Army Liu Yanqing's subordinates and became the commander of the Western Army. At the same time, Xiao Qian also captured Jizhou, and for a while there was a tendency to recover.
In the end, Tong Guan wrote a letter and carried Yaoshi Guo out again to resolve the matter.
Guo Yaoshi fought with Xiao Qian at Yaopu and defeated Xiao Qian. Taking advantage of the victory, he pursued across Lulongling and killed more than half of them. He forced Xiao Qian to be killed by his subordinate Bai Dege, and his head was presented to the late emperor.
After that, Guo Yaoshi defeated Xiao Gan's subordinate Kui Li Buli in Fengshan, captured Taishi Alu alive, and obtained the title of Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, Baojian Baojian, and the golden seal, which completely solved these troubles.
Precisely because of this, Your Majesty should know why the late emperor loved Yaoshi Guo so much.
The late emperor was not a fool. Everyone knew what some of the military generals of the Song Dynasty were.
It's just because they are too powerful. Once they are forced to rebel, they can immediately overthrow the imperial court. In addition, these people are also flattering, and the late emperor will also...
This is what makes them continue to do bad things. "
After hearing this, Zhao Huan nodded again and again, and at the same time understood the use of Pharmacist Guo.
"In other words, although Pharmacist Guo has been repeated many times, he is still somewhat loyal to me, the Song Dynasty?"
"This is true, but Your Majesty needs to know another thing. Although this Guo Pharmacist is loyal to me, the Song Dynasty, he has 50,000 victorious troops under his command, strong horses, strong horses and strict military discipline.
But this comes at a cost.
He had thrown all the bastards in the Ever Victorious Army to Liu Yanqing to supplement his strength.
Even if that damn guy Zhang Linghui had been killed by General Yue Fei, there would still be many problems left, if they hadn't been too united.
I don't think General Yue would be so strenuous.
I also read the battle reports from the front line. General Yue Fei was brave, resourceful, and quite capable. The main reason was that the soldiers and horses under his command were really not up to the mark and always caused trouble for him.
These people are all loaches, they are all slippery and do not hold back, and usually you cannot find any problems.
But on the battlefield, it is as troublesome as it is troublesome.
Therefore, I still suggest that they withdraw as soon as possible.
While Pharmacist Guo still doesn't want to surrender, keep Yaoshi Guo, his ever-victorious army and his local warriors, and then use Lu Gong and others to suppress them. They can use them in the future..."
"If Pharmacist Guo is not going to surrender now, can we make him feel more at ease?"
It was obvious that Zhao Huan didn't listen at all.
"Your Majesty, this is his nature. He is cunning and changeable. There is also Zhang Jue's incident in front of him. He does not trust the Song Dynasty at all!"
"Then give him a bargaining chip that he can trust enough."
"Then what does Your Majesty plan to do to make him feel enough trust!"
"For example, leave the overall situation of the Yanyun land to Guo Yaoshi and let Lu Gong Qin Hui and others take charge of its management."
"Your Majesty, don't you think this strategist knows this?" Zhao Ding thought that Zhao Huan could say something new, but when he said this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about how big a deal this is. hidden dangers.
Just say that if you do this, let the ministers in the DPRK do it. Is this going to restart the military generals?
Of course, this minister sees no problem in doing extraordinary things at times, but now Jiangnan, Southwest and even Shandong and other places have not yet completely rebelled.
Does your Majesty know how much turmoil this will cause?
Unless His Majesty directly abandons Guanzhong, Hedong and even Kaifeng Central Plains and other places now, and then retreats to Yangzhou, directly cleans up all parts of Yangzhou, and takes the opportunity to take charge of local power.
That way, it’s no problem! "
"Well... what Zhao Qing said makes sense, but there is nothing we can do about this matter..."
After that, Zhao Kai was enabled.
