Using oneself as bait to encircle the enemy army was not taught to him by anyone, but he realized it himself during the Battle of Jiangnan.
When Jin Wushu bypassed the six counties of Han and Xiang, he did not hesitate to go deep alone to capture him. He did not hesitate to put himself in a desperate situation and refused to give up.
Zhao Huan knew that although it didn't matter whether he had it or not, there was no doubt about his importance in the eyes of the Jin people.
In this case, he would use himself as bait and give Wu Jie and Li Yanxian enough opportunities.
Zhao Huan knows the abilities of Li Yanxian and Wu Jie better than anyone else. They are both famous generals of their own, no less famous than Han Shizhong and Liu Qi.
Back in time a few months ago, after Zhao Huan entered Chang'an and got all the news, he called Tong Guan to his side.
"At this time, the situation in Guanzhong has deteriorated, Shaanzhou has almost been lost, and we have very little strength left west of Tongguan. The only three people who are still holding on now are Chang'an and me.
There are also the Sanbishan defense line that connects the Hedong area of Shaanzhou in Guanzhong and the monk Yuan of Fengxiang Mansion.
But the three are not connected, and they are all surrounded by Jin people. If we fight separately, it will not only be very time-consuming, but most importantly, we will have to face dangers that may arise at any time.
Therefore, I decided to introduce all the main forces of the Jin people into Chang'an, and rely on the tall city wall of Chang'an to fight them fiercely. "
When Tong Guan heard this sentence, he was once again shocked by Zhao Huan's thoughts. He was so shocked that he did not dare to say anything more.
He just told Zhao Huan that this matter should be discussed with Li Gang, Quduan, Liu Qi and others.
However, Zhao Huan completely disagreed with this.
"If I find them, they will definitely tell me that a gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall, that I am a man of ten thousand gold and cannot take risks, etc.
I don’t want to hear these words…”
"Then if the old minister says the same thing..."
"You wouldn't say that."
"Why is Your Majesty so sure? Actually..."
"I won't let you!"
"..." Tong Guan looked at Zhao Huan, who was getting more and more wild, and felt that the mature look he had when he saw Zhao Huan, who ascended the throne for the first time, had completely disappeared.
"Your Majesty, I have been working diligently and hard-working for Your Majesty these years. Why don't Your Majesty, for the sake of my hard work without any credit, just pretend that I haven't been here today?"
"No, I still have something important to tell you."
"Your Majesty, I have become very old recently. If not, Your Majesty would allow me to retire..."
"You are born in the palace. Don't think too much about where you plan to go when you retire. Come here, come here, and do your best for me."
The smile on Zhao Huan's face made Tong Guan feel like he saw a thousand-year-old fox smiling at him, which made him tremble.
"What does Your Majesty want me to do?"
"Zhang Yong advised me that in order to defend Chang'an, I, the Zhao royal family, can personally defend the city. Of course, I also know what kind of people my relatives are.
If they are asked to make some money and break some laws, then no one needs to teach them.
But if they were allowed to guard Chang'an, I'm afraid they would run faster than a rabbit. Instead of improving morale, Chang'an would be defeated faster. "
When he heard this, Tong Guan didn't want to hear the following words anymore. He had stood proudly in the court for so many years, how could he not hear what Zhao Huan wanted to do?
Tong Guan knelt down in front of Zhao Huan without saying a word, not giving him a chance to continue speaking.
"Your Majesty, spare your life. Please allow me to leave here today for the sake of my hard work and hard work over the years."
If you continue to listen, the veteran will have no chance to object, and the veteran cannot object.
But the old minister... The old minister is just a eunuch. He doesn't ask for any descendants, but only wants a good beginning and a good end. He made too many wrong things in his early years.
I have made some amends over the years.
Now I finally have a good reputation in the hearts of the people in the world. I will wait until the old minister can't move in the future.
You can also get by.
If this thing is done, the old minister will definitely die a bad death. "
Tong Guan is smart. He knows Zhao Huan's character and must either tell the truth quickly or not.
Hesitating and hesitating, in the end the gain outweighs the gain.
But this time Zhao Huan was determined and refused to let Tong Guan throw him away so easily.
"You are my confidant. If it were any other time, this matter would be nothing more. But at this time, whether we, the Song Dynasty, can reverse the decline in one fell swoop depends on the battle of Chang'an.
I can't agree to this! "
"Your Majesty, now there is General Zhang Jun in Hedong, General Yue Fei in Daming Mansion, General Guo Yaoshi on Shandong Road, and Liu Qi Quduan is here.
There is absolutely no need for us to ask His Majesty to take such a dangerous plan.
We just need to wait until Yue Fei and General Zhang Jun resolve the war, then we will naturally be able to..."
"Can we force the Jin people back?" Zhao Huan sneered, "Of course we can force them back, but maybe we can only force them back.
The country of the Song Dynasty belongs to me...forget it, it was defeated at the hands of the late emperor. The baggage and grain were burned to the ground, and the war horses were only enough for thousands of elite cavalry.
The people were in dire straits, Hedong, Hebei, and Shandong were lost one after another, and the sixteen states of Yanyun were gained and lost again.
The generals of the Song Dynasty had no fighting spirit, the people had no confidence, and the officials were mixed and disorganized.
Once the Jin people were beaten back, it would take them at most a year and a half to come back, and even if they didn't come, they could continue to harass the border.
Let us work hard, constantly increase taxes on the people, and force us to sue for peace and surrender.
Otherwise, let me wait for myself to fall apart.
Why is our Song Dynasty like this?
How dare the Jin people do this?
Simply because they have never really suffered a big loss at our hands.
Whether it is Hedong Daming or Shandong Road, Jinren's partial masters Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyanchang are both known for their caution.
If they encounter something wrong, they can retreat to Hebei. Pengju doesn't have much food for this battle. He still has to appease the refugees and stabilize the Daming Mansion.
It is not easy for them to regain Damingfu and re-plan the defense lines of Hedong and Shandong.
King He and the others fought again in Shaanzhou, Guanzhong, and now the Jin people dared to bring the late emperor here.
It means that the Jin people also know that it is difficult to win quickly, and they want to delay it for a long time. In this case, let's just teach them a lesson here.
Only when it hurts them will they retreat.
The Song Dynasty needs restructuring and planning, and there are too many problems that need to be solved. We cannot spend time here with them.
I don’t want to negotiate for peace. At the very least, even if we negotiate for peace, we must let the Jin people negotiate for peace with me!
Then this battle must be risky.
If there is a defect in Qu Duan's character, this person will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble and eliminate dissidents without affecting the overall situation.
His bad temper is well-known among the Jin people, so no matter what happens with Li Yanxian and Wu Jie, the Jin people will not suspect that there is any conspiracy with Qu Duan.
I put the curved end in front just to ensure this.
Tomorrow I will ask the court officials to serve as envoys to inform Wu Jie and Li Yanxian. These people are so proud that even if they don't escape, it is absolutely impossible for them to enter Monk Yuan and Sanshan Mountain without anyone noticing.
Then being captured is essential. Among the ten people, there are at least three or four weaklings.
In order to save my life, I was kept in Chang'an, and the news that I was preparing to defend Chang'an and wait for an opportunity to counterattack reached the Jin people.
Then the Jin people will definitely abandon Monk Yuan and San Shushan, and then withdraw their main force to the vicinity of Chang'an to capture me.
As long as Chang'an is captured, not only can I be captured at this time, leaving our Song Dynasty leaderless, but most importantly, even if we cannot capture me.
In order to save their lives, our army of the Song Dynasty will definitely continue to retreat, so Sanbi Mountain and Monk Yuan will almost become desperate.
As long as they cut off their food supplies and water sources, they will be self-defeating over time.
Especially Li Yanxian, that guy can't even go to Hedong and can only attack Shaanzhou, but this is a dead end!
But by the same token, as long as we persist, the pressure on Wu Jie and Li Yanxian will be much less.
You only need to send out the most elite spies from the Imperial City Division in advance, and wait until the war in Chang'an begins to find Wu Jie and Li Yanxian.
Without the main force of the Jin people, it will be much easier for you, the Imperial City Division, to sneak in.
Tell Wu Jie and Li Yanxian not to worry about me, they have only one mission.
Recover Fengxiang Mansion and Shaanzhou, and block this Jin army here! "
Tong Guan looked at Zhao Huan's methodical analysis and couldn't help but sigh. This emperor is indeed very different from back then. His personality, temperament, composure and strategy have all matured so much.
But this is not the reason why Tong Guan goes crazy with him.
"Your Majesty, even if you tell the truth, it is impossible for me to attack the royal family members!"
Zhao Huan saw that he refused to let go, and he understood this guy's concerns. However, Zhao Huan kept trying his best to solve his troubles, and now he felt that he could threaten him.
"If you don't agree, I can only leave this matter to Kong Yanzhou.
He is your confidant, and he came into your eyes because of the annihilation of Yang Yao. He was recommended by you to become the deputy commander of your Imperial City Division.
The status is only below you.
If Kong Yanzhou takes action, although the people in my royal family will be even more miserable, but at this point, who can care about it.
It's just that if Kong Yanzhou takes action, this matter will become ugly. I wonder if the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will believe this nonsense that one person does things and the other takes responsibility. "
After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he looked at Tong Guan's face that turned pale, and then continued to add, "I allow you to promote another deputy.
I don’t need to say more about the rest of the matter.
I will give you a decree for what you did before, and let bygones be bygones!
But some people…”
"Old Minister, I understand. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Tong Guan finally understood that Zhao Huan wanted more than just attacking the clan to reduce the pressure on the Song Dynasty court from the royal clan.
There are two other purposes.
Beat yourself and kill Kong Yanzhou.
As for why...
Needless to say, Kong Yanzhou's contribution in the Battle of Jiangnan was that he greatly accelerated the demise of Zhong Xiang Yang Yao.
And the people's hearts in Jiangnan returned to the hands of the Song Dynasty again, and then he changed his appearance and covered himself with iron to hide his identity and entered the Imperial City.
Giving him a heavy reward was an instruction to Zhao Huan's subordinates.
But this does not prevent Kong Yanzhou from dying.
In Jiangnan alone, no less than ten thousand people and officials died directly or semi-directly at the hands of Kong Yanzhou because of his involvement.
He massacred the city several times, and countless old officials and elders who had worked hard for the people and the Song Dynasty all their lives were beheaded by him. He also massacred their families and wiped out their families.
This is about winning, so of course the end justifies the means.
But after victory, who will seek justice for those people?
Naturally, they were the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. In just one sentence, they worked for the Song Dynasty all their lives, and finally the whole family was killed by Zhao Huan's people.
What's the point of this?
Kong Yanzhou must die, and no one can save him.
As for how to let Kong Yanzhou die in the hands of others in a reasonable and reasonable way, so as to calm the anger of the talented and virtuous people in the world.
This is Tong Guan's method. I guess he has this method.
Cleaning up the court, reducing the number of royal family members, attracting the main force of the Jin army, and prompting Wu Jie and Li Yanxian to counterattack Fengxiang Mansion and Shaanzhou.
Finally, Kong Yanzhou was killed to calm Jiangnan's anger, and Tong Guan's Imperial City Division was beaten.
One thing has five consequences.
This is Zhao Huan.
