Shao Song

When the military newspaper was sent to Tokyo, Zhao Jiu had the feeling that a stone fell on the ground at the beginning, because it was as he emphasized that Jin Jun really came today. But soon, as the military situation gathered together, he fell into some confusion and doubts again.

This incomprehension and doubt are twofold.

First of all, the big aspect. After fighting for so long, it is common sense that the Jin Army has divided the field between the East and the West. But this time, he only received the military information of the West Route Army, but not the military report of the East Route Army... It stands to reason that in the battle of Xiao Wuxun, this knife should undoubtedly stabbed the East Route Army, but why did the East Route Army remain silent?

Moreover, the information that continues to come from the Taihang Mountain is also a bit wrong, that is, most of Meng'an Muke, which was placed in the central and southern regions of the Hebei Plain by the State of Jin, does not seem to show signs of mobilization... This is very strange, because of the Hebei Plain. The Meng'an Muke who went up was itself the main component of the East Route Army, and a small part of it belonged to the West Route Army sequence.

If it is said that the West Route Army deliberately did not fully mobilize in order to achieve the effect of the raid, but only concentrated the elite cavalry, then of course it is understandable, and after all, the leader of the army is Wanyan Loushi, the almost undefeated general of the Golden State. When the troops started, no one in Song and Jin had the right to question.

But what's going on with the East Route Army? Are you not ready to join the war?

Of course, the East Route Army may be re-mobilized only afterwards, or it may be that some elites are passing through the complex Yellow River in eastern Hebei, preparing to detour around Jingdong to fight... all of these are possible.

However, as for the detailed military information of the West Route Army, there are many doubts right now.

It stands to reason that the Wanyan Lou room suddenly sent troops. It should have continued to follow the results of the previous battle to capture Jiaozhou and Danzhou, which are south of Yan'an Mansion. But why go south to Tongguan?

And after the Tongguan pass, where will he go?

Will it go east to fight Shaanzhou, or will it go west to fight Chang'an? It is reasonable to say that Chang'an should be attacked, and Juanzhou and Danzhou should be copied from the south. But if so, why should a special division be used to restrain Shanzhou?

However, since Tongguan was shut down, the communication in the direction of Chang'an had to detour from Luoshui, which was inevitably delayed for several days, which was really surprising.

In short, all kinds of doubts filled Zhao Jiu's mind, which also made it difficult for the officials of the Privy Council to come to a conclusion, which in turn caused doubts and indecisions at the highest level of the Song Center.

Only the military sentiment is serious and cannot be delayed. The imperial court was held on the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, that is, the second day after receiving the news. As news came from the Kansai area, Zhao Jiu, regardless of the weather, temporarily held it in the Wende Hall. The court meeting... the four princes, the Privy Council’s officers, the army, the six ministers, the scholars, and other nearby ministers, plus the commanding officers of the imperial battalion in Beijing, are all listed, but they have not called anyone else, but they are asking for a decision and doing it. Quick response.

"The military situation of the Jinjun is unknown. Zhang Jun, Yue Fei, and Zhang Rong should guard the defense zone and not move!" After the court meeting began, Wang Boyan, instead of the Privy Council, put forward a basic premise for response.

And this premise was actually recognized by the vast majority of people present.

Because these three places are directly facing the enemy-occupied area, and behind it is the key to the heart of the Song Dynasty. Zhang Jun is behind Huainan and Southeast; behind Yue Fei and Zhang Rong are Tokyo and Nanjing. They have just improved after they suffered a large-scale invasion last year. The heart of Henan.

"The soldiers and horses along the river in the imperial camp and the soldiers and horses in the city of Tokyo should not move." The discussion continued, and soon someone put forward new opinions.

"Can you dispatch troops from the imperial battalion to come for aid?"

"When Han Shizhong went to Xijing Luoyang to wait and see the situation, in case of any accident..."

"Han Shizhong will inevitably be sent out. His troops are in Huaixi to replenish their energies. The money, food and materials are all the optimal supply. This is to allow him to mobilize to support... But I don't think he should be sent to Luoyang in Xijing, and he should go to Nanyang first. Go ahead!"

"Going to Nanyang is naturally to help Kansai from Wuguan, but Kansai has already sent the message, saying that it has never been..."

"Although the Kansai has been sent for a transmission and there has not been a sudden attack, but from the overall point of view, once Kansai is attacked, Tokyo will be beyond the reach. Therefore, if Taiwei Han really went to Xijing, he would be hit by the golden voices and tune the tiger away from the mountain. The plan!"

"But if this is the case, how about Wanyan Lou's real effort to attack Shaanzhou? With the weight of Shaanzhou, once there is a loss, it will be the real isolation..."

"Can’t you send the Bazi army to help? After all, Shanzhou is always closer to the Central Plains, and the transportation is convenient. If the Wanyan Loushi really comes to attack Shanzhou and the imperial army is 200,000, why can’t we deploy troops to help? ?"

I have to say that the DPRK discussion is still effective, at least it can make the ministers who don't know the soldiers understand the situation a little bit.

But at the same time, I have to admit that the DPRK discussion has made some strategic dilemmas unmistakable. For example, the largest mobile corps, that is, the Han Shizhong Ministry to Chang'an or Luoyang? Do you want to send troops from the imperial battalion to help? Can Wang Yan's eight-character army be properly dispatched to help protect it to the west?

Every action has its pros and cons, but the action must be made, otherwise it will be a waste of military opportunity, and at this time, officials and officials who understand the pros and cons need to make a final decision together.

Of course, after two or three years of war grind, Zhao Guanjia still has some experience and determination. After a little thought, he first had a rough conclusion in his mind:

First of all, if there are disputes on military matters, experts should be heard. Therefore, these disputes should be based on the opinions of Liu Ziyu, Hu Hongxiu, etc. joining the army, and the opinions of generals such as Wang Yuan, Qu Duan, Wang De, and Wang Yan;

Secondly, Zhao Jiu always feels that Wanyan Lou's dispatch of troops this time is a bit weird, it looks like a cloud in the mist, but this kind of performance in the cloud and mist is matched with Wanyan Lou's reputation, but it makes people careless... Therefore, one side needs it. Leave plenty of room in the overall strategy, but on the one hand, it is time to go all out for the Wanyanlou room.

"My will has been decided."

After a little hesitation, Zhao Jiu made a loud voice in the throne.

And as the candlelight flickered, twenty or thirty people in the temple listened solemnly for a while.

"Han Shizhong left Nanyang, went to Wuguan, and went to Chang'an." Zhao Jiu said first.

"The minister seconded." Lu Haowen stood under the middle of the hall and answered first, and the other three chief executives also bowed their hands in salute, expressing second.

Of course second!

This was originally a matter of choosing one of the two. It was originally necessary for the Zhao official family to choose one on the spot, and then the chief executives seconded it to reach a legal process.

So once the word came out, no one argued about the matter anymore. The neighboring ministers, such as Xiaolin Xueshi, had also started formulating the purpose on the spot in accordance with the old rule of the Huai Shang Bagong Mountain.

The decision of the officials, the approval of the governors, and the internal system to issue edicts are an unquestionable military decree that represents the highest authority of the empire.

"Officials."

As soon as the official Zhao’s family was about to continue talking, Wang Yuan, the ruler of the imperial battalion, suddenly stepped out and reminded the public of a trivial matter: “Wuguan defender Xin Xingzong and Han Taiwei’s hatred and hatred are known to everyone. The military affairs are important matters and must be guarded. Unprovoked changes."

Zhao Jiu's heart was awakened, but he turned his head on the spot and ordered the next minister who was writing his will: "Hanlin scholar Lin Jingmo."

"The minister is here!" Lin Jingmo's heart burst, but his figure was not rushed.

"If the will is complete, you will send it personally, and then I will have a gold medal with you, and I must go to Chang'an with Han Shizhong to ensure that there will be no incidents along the way."

Lin Jingmo calmly bowed his head and called his command, and then continued to bow his head to write his will.

"Not only that." Zhao Jiufu, who was reminded, ordered again and again. "Li Ruopu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, went to Shanzhou to find Li Yanxian, the servant in the palace, Wan Tengtao, went to Jeju to find Yue Fei, and Fan Zongyin, a scholar from Zhongshushe, went to Xuzhou to find Zhang Jun... In his daily life, Lang Yu Yunwen went to Baimajin to find Zhang Rong... The gold medal represents our authority, but you are not allowed to interfere in the military because it requires you to coordinate the conflicts between the various military forces and alleviate the local and military problems."

Among those named, Li Ruopu and Fan Zongyin were present, and they were named at the time.

But Lin Qifu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, also proposed that Yu Yunwen is Zhang Rong's son-in-law, so he should avoid suspicion, and his seniority is too low, so he should not be appointed... The key is that Zhang Rong's situation is normal and there is no need to send his son-in-law to show his sincerity. In this way, not only does it appear that the situation is too tense, but it also appears that Zhang Rongweng's son-in-law is not trusted enough.

Zhao Jiu, who was a little hesitant about this appointment, woke up immediately and changed the candidate again. He asked a supervisor to call Li Ruoxu, that is, the other brother of Li Ruoshui and Li Ruopu, to come out of Baimajin to coordinate. .

At this time, Zhao Jiu recovered and made a decision. After the imperial camp, the army did not send out. He still sat southeast. Although there were waves, he still passed with the support of the chief executives.

"As for Shanzhou, I have thought about it."

Finally came to the last key question, but Zhao Jiu calmed down completely. "Dangfa Imperial Army's left and right deputy capitals (Wang Yan and Wang De) moved west together to provide support."

"How about Tokyo?" Zhu Shengfei, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, couldn't help but ask.

"If there are soldiers and horses to fetch Tokyo, it is impossible to fall from the sky." Zhao Jiu calmly faced each other. "Either cross the river from the north, or from the east of Jingdong, or from the west of Shanzhou... No matter whichever it is, wherever it comes from, as long as we dispatch properly, we will always have time to deploy troops. On the contrary, it is. Because Wanyan Lou's room suddenly appeared and lost a square inch, this one didn't dare, and the other couldn't, it was just right in the golden man's arms."

Zhu Shengfei was silent immediately.

"And I thought about it." Zhao Jiu said more and more calmly. "Wanyan Lou's move southward is very strange, but in any case, before he increased his troops, his strength was there. According to Li Yanxian's report, it was roughly forty to fifty thousand. According to the information of Hebei Taihang Mountain, Hebei Zhu Meng Anmou did not move, and his West Route Army had to guard Taiyuan, Yan'an, Hezhong Mansion and other important towns. Then he could move soldiers and horses at the same time as these four to fifty thousand... And with such a strength, if he attacked Chang'an, he would Shaanzhou cannot be taken care of; if you attack Shaanzhou, Changan cannot be taken care of; if both sides are taken together, both sides cannot be obtained!"

The atmosphere in the hall eased for a while, and even those who knew soldiers in the hall such as Liu Ziyu, Hu Hongxiu, and Wang Yuan slowly nodded their heads to show their approval.

"It's not just that," Zhao Jiu continued. "In fact, no matter where he takes, as long as he can't succeed in a single blow, we can properly arrange it so that the army on both sides of the east and the west can calmly attack him and force him back."

The palace became more and more relieved, and several generals who had never been qualified to speak also took the opportunity to shout.

Of course, some people could not help expressing a bit of objection: "Officials, all armies form their own factions, such as Li Yanxian's Li Jiajun and Han Shizhong's Han Jiajun. Although the Western Army is slightly weak, it has been an independent army for hundreds of years. With their own talents and confidence, why should they listen to the imperial orders and arrange them properly, and then be willing to spend their money and food to save others? Just rely on a few bachelors and homeless people who only know how to dance and learn?"

The person who spoke it was Qu Duan, but unexpectedly, when this statement came out, there were a lot of nods from the top and bottom, and no one blamed him for despising the nearby ministers in his words.

However, Zhao Jiu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, so he simply said his final thoughts: "So, I am going to sit in Luoyang, Xijing...Because no one can control Han Shizhong, Li Yanxian, the Western Army, All parts of the imperial camp worked together... what do you think?"
