The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

It was already the beginning of the twelfth lunar month when Shang Hu arrived in the northwest of Dading to deploy the General Mansion. This was the time when his chin was so cold that he could freeze. His sudden arrival surprised Zhao Li.

What he did when he ran to the northwest? Shang Hu didn't say much, but just showed Zhao Li the emperor's handwritten instructions, asking him to cooperate with Shang Hu to complete an extremely secret task. As for what task it was, it was not explicitly stated.

Zhao Li and Shanghu were very familiar with each other and wanted him to reveal some inside information, but Shanghu just shook his head and smiled bitterly and said that he would be ready for war. As for other things, he refused to reveal a word, so he refused to know more and refused. Then Shanghu

Let Zhao Li arrange an independent courtyard for himself near the commander's mansion, and then in the name of the Military Intelligence Department, he took the intelligence supervisor of the Dading Town and Funeral Department, the Dragon Wing Army, the Lion Wing Army and the Kruel Army in charge of intelligence work.

The military was called together, and the guard work was taken over by the Kruel Army scout camp, which made it mysterious and didn't look like doing good things at first glance.

In fact, Shang Hu really didn't do good things, but who made the emperor fall in love with him? He personally handed over the extremely important task of "making fighter jets". To put it bluntly, he was looking for trouble by any means and let the Jurchens find trouble by using any means.

After making a mistake, the emperor fought in a grand manner and destroyed the Jin Kingdom in order to avenge the great humiliation of his father and his brother's two emperors being captured, allowing him to leave his name in history and be remembered forever.

Shang Hu learned in detail about the deployment of the troops on both sides, and also found out the situation of the forces of all parties, and felt that things were not easy to deal with. Although the right marshal of the Jin Dynasty, Pusan ​​Zhongyi, was young, he was brave enough to be calm and cunning.

Shen, not a frivolous person. It is not easy to make a decision on him, so he can only use a roundabout way to do it. And there is a chance to take advantage of...

The Jin Dynasty was in financial difficulties, and some ministers lived a tight life. They would think of ways to improve their lives. Of course, they all rely on the mountains to eat and rely on the water to eat. In the northwest, where the poor mountains and bad waters were poor, the border generals set their minds on the

Those 'rebellious' elements.

Last time, the Jin Dynasty joined forces with the Tatars to plunder two small tribes in the name of suppressing bandits. According to the past practice, of course, the Jurchens took the big head and the Tatars took the small head. But the Tatars are now

I feel that it is unfair and I send the most troops. I do the most chores of charging into battle. You Jurchen soldiers don’t have many hiding behind and eating ready-made ones, but in the end you have to pick up the best ones and get the more.

The Tatar people began to dislike the amount of spoils they distributed to them. In anger, they not only took all the plundering gains for themselves, but also ransacked the "friendly troops". The matter was so big that the servants were the Zhongyi.

Report it to the court and ask for instructions on how to deal with it. The news was transmitted back to Shangjing, of course, which caused the emperor to be furious, and the dog he raised actually retaliated against his master. This is great. Wu Shu also realized that he wanted to use the strategy of the Tatar people to control the grassland for a long time

Maybe it won't work.

The two years ago with the help of the Jin army, the Tatars won a decisive victory in the war against the Mongolian tribe and drove them out of the grassland. The natural enemies that could confront them disappeared, and the Tatars were a family on the grassland.

Great. They quickly grew other tribes around them through war and pacification. At this time, the Tatar people used Yuerlu as their base, and many tribes gathered nearby, which had grown to 70,000 people.

The Tatar people understand that the Jurchens wanted them to act as pawns to resist the Han people. In the past, they had to act according to the Jurchens' expressions. But as their strength increased, the Tatar people's ambitions were expanding. They were not willing to be a woman again.

The real man's pawn wanted to be on par with his elder brother. They began to look for various excuses to ask for money and goods from the Jin Kingdom, and their increasing appetite made even the Jurchens unable to bear it.

But due to the current situation, the Jurchens still need the Tatars to eliminate the Mongols and defend the Western borders for themselves to block the attack of the Song Dynasty, so they will try their best to meet their requirements. But the Tatars dare to attack the Jin Kingdom now.

The army took action, and the nature was completely different. This was betrayal! The Jin Kingdom issued a harsh warning to the Tatar people, asking them to return the property of the robbery of the Jin** team immediately and launch an attack on the Mongolians, otherwise they would

Send troops to attack him.

Regarding the warning of the Jurchens, Tatar Khan was determined to defend the "honor" of the Tatar people and refused to surrender to the threat of the Jin Dynasty. His real purpose was to think that this would be possible to win more in the future with the Jin Dynasty.

The approach of negotiating weights was thought that when the Song army pressed step by step, they would not really turn against him, but the facts were proved to be wrong. They mistakenly overestimated their own in the minds of the Jin people.

The position also underestimated the determination of the Jin people.

For the Jin people who were tired of the Tatar people, they decided to use the Tatar people to deal with the Tatar people before the outbreak of a full-scale war with the Song Dynasty, and ordered the right general's mansion, Zhongyi, to attack him. This time, the Jin Kingdom was already in pain.

We made up our minds not only for the purpose of teaching the Tatars, but for the purpose of giving a destructive blow, so as not to repeat the tragedy of the great men who could not lose all the troubles, and then choose a puppet again.

In order to ensure that the order can be conveyed smoothly, the measures adopted by all countries are often sent out several messengers. This time, the Jurchens also adopted this method, but all the messengers were intercepted by spies from the Song Dynasty Military Intelligence Department who sneaked into the territory of Jin.

Now the edict to attack the Tatar people was in Shang Hu's hands. He is now thinking about how to use this letter to do some articles in order to achieve his goals.

Shang Hu was like an emperor and walked around the hall. His legs became weak and he understood his thoughts. The emperor's order was to let him complete the border conflict between the two countries in February.

It caused a major incident, and in March, the entire army would launch a general attack on the Jin Kingdom on this ground, and it would take less than three months. Now, in the name of the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom would launch an attack on it.

Obviously, it is not the most appropriate time, and the opposite results may occur, causing uncontrollable results.

From the map, we can clearly see that there are two routes for the Song army in the west to attack the capital of the Jin Kingdom: one is the Xing'anling area where the Song and Jin confront each other. After breaking through the boundary moat along the Huangshui River, we head west through Taizhou and Changchun all the way west

The state arrives at Huanglong Prefecture and enters the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, and goes north to the capital; the other is to pass through the Yazi River from the grassland area in the west of Linhuang Prefecture, enter the old place of the Mengwu tribe and approach the ancestral residence of Wanyan tribe, and arrive at Huining Prefecture.

Judging from the current Jin army's fortifications, of course, the most convenient and fastest way from the grassland. Moreover, this place was originally designated as a safe area by the Song Dynasty, which made the Jin army dare not enter without authorization, and there was no way to talk about building boundary trenches. This is also

The reason why the Jurchens have always regarded the Mengwu people as their confidant? This place is too close to the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and it takes less than a few days to reach. After driving away the Mengwu people, this place was occupied by the Tatars and acted as the Jurchens.

But when they found that they were not raising a dog but a wolf that could devour the owner at any time, they wanted to get rid of it to keep the safety of their backyard.

The border troubles have always been a matter of great concern to the emperor, and the border troubles often come from those northern nomadic peoples. It is not in line with the interests of the Song Dynasty because a tribe with rebellion and strong strength is also a threat to the Song Dynasty.

.How to use the Tatar people to provoke a war, and not let them survive with all their strength, but also create trouble for the Jurchens. It became a must for Shanghu to consider for the successful completion of the early surprise operation in the Song Dynasty.

What happens ...

There is a small village on the north bank of the Lu River called Qinhuzhai. This village has a long history. It is said that when Emperor Wu of Han attacked the Huns in the north, the army set up a village here. Because it captured a leader of the Huns, it was named "Qianhuzhai". Later, the Han Dynasty destroyed it.

In the country, nomadic peoples emerged again. Because the "Hu" had a sarcastic meaning, they were changed to the Huzhai. Because it was close to the road leading to Linhuang Prefecture in western Liaoning, and close to the ferry, it gradually became prosperous.

But since the rise of the Jurchens, this place has become a place of war. To this day, there are only dozens of families, several shops and taverns. It is said that the Song and Jin dynasties are now full of clouds on the border, and it is the harsh winter season.

There are few people. But here is much more prosperous than before, with various characters constantly appearing, including Han people, Khitan people, Mongol people, Jurchen people and Tatar people. What is strange is that they can be at peace with each other.

, There was no such thing as drawing a sword to face each other after meeting each other.

Brokers are an ancient profession. They are active between two hostile parties, acting as contacts to deliver messages and serve both parties. Of course, all this is rewarding. Among these people, there are many people who eat the next family.

To put it nicely, they are double-faced spies, and to be bluntly, they are intelligence dealers. Such people can do anything for money. Don’t expect them to have any professional ethics, but in special times both sides cannot live without these people, so

Although I hated him to the core, I had to offer real money and silver.

The "prosperity" of the tiger village was brought by these brokers. It is on the border of Song and Jin, and on the edge of the grassland. It is the area where the spies from all parties regard it as a collection and

The first choice for conveying information. As noon approaches, there are more people in the small tavern in Qinhuzhai, which does not even have wine flags. People who come here are carrying a lot of money in their arms, so they naturally spend money like soil.

Taverns have also become their place to make money. In a short while, seven or eight tables have been sat on them.

But today it is not as noisy as before, but it is filled with strange quietness. No one even complains about how much water is mixed in the wine. Everyone is drinking silently, absent-mindedly pulling a few vulgar plates on the table.

The dishes, but their eyes glanced at the door from time to time, as if they were waiting for the arrival of some important person... (To be continued...)
