Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

What was discussed, I don't know.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Tokyo City.

Before dawn, the embassy street became lively.

Envoys from the Kingdom of Jin, Xixia, Japan, Koryo, Dali, and even the Uighurs were dispatched.

They rode in exquisite carriages and brought gifts from their own countries to the palace of His Majesty the Song Emperor.

The civil and military officials also put on court clothes that they would not normally wear, straightened their clothes, and went to the palace.

The Grand Court Meeting on the first day of the first lunar month is the most solemn moment of the year.

Whether it is foreign envoys or hundreds of officials, they will send blessings to the emperor on this day.

I wish the Son of Heaven a long and boundless life, and wish the Great Song Dynasty to be eternal, prosperous and peaceful.

At this time, Zhao Ning was wearing the emperor's mianfu, which he would not normally wear.

This kind of emperor's mianfu is composed of a crown, black clothes, clothes, white belts, yellow knees, plain gauze singles, red skirts, etc.

The shoulders of Xuanyi are woven with sun, moon and dragon patterns.

Stars and mountain patterns are woven on the back.

The sleeves are woven with fire, Chinese insect and Zongyi patterns.

Two pieces each of weaving algae, vermicelli, rice flour, and rice grains.

At the gate of Daqing Hall stands the mighty Si Banzhi in front of the hall.

The Zaizhi were the first to arrive at the gate of the Daqing Hall, followed by officials arriving one after another.

There was no holiday on the first day of the new year in the Song Dynasty, and even this day was the hardest day of the year.

From the relatives of the emperor to the Zhima officials in the capital, they all have to go to the palace for court meetings.

And it's the Great Court Meeting.

The usual court meetings are discussed in the Chuigong Hall, and this kind of grand court meeting is held in the more grand Daqing Hall.

And you can't ask for leave, you can ask for it at any time, even if you have a cold and a fever on this day.

Therefore, many people do not sleep the day before, and when the time comes, they dress up and enter the pilgrimage.

At this time, the palace was also decorated with lights and festoons, and it was full of joy.

The imperial palace in the Song Dynasty was made of blue tiles, which lacked a bit of majesty, but were much more exquisite and elegant.

"Cai Xianggong, Cai Xianggong." Li Chunyou ran over with small steps, and said in Cai Mao's ear, "The big thing is bad, the big thing is bad!"

"What's the panic?"

"A major incident happened in Yan'an. Wang Xie was beheaded by Yang Yizhong. Zhang Shen was arrested and was on his way back to Beijing."

Cai Mao was so startled that he almost jumped up, looked around, and found that the surrounding ministers were still discussing their own affairs in a low voice.

"really?"

"It's true, my people just sent back urgent information."

"What the hell does Yang want to do!" Cai Mao lowered his voice and said angrily, "Isn't this just nonsense!"

At this time, Hu Yin was also saying something in Zhao Ding's ear, Zhao Ding's face suddenly became ugly, he said a few words to Hu Yin, but he didn't know what he was talking about.

But soon, Zhao Ding quietly left the gate of Daqing Hall.

When Zhao Guan's family ascended to the Daqing Palace, Zhao Ding saw Zhao Guan's family rushing over.

"Why is the Grand Master so anxious to see me at this moment?"

Zhao Ding said calmly, "Your Majesty, Yang Yizhong killed Wang Xie."

"killed?"

"killed."

Zhao Ning took a deep breath. Although he already knew about this last night, the play still had to be performed.

"Why did he kill people on his own initiative!"

Zhao Ding obviously knew that Zhao Guan's family was acting, Zhao Ding said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, it is true that Wang Xie deserves to die, but Yang Yizhong's killing is too hasty. The road shakes people's hearts!"

It would be fine if Wang Xie was arrested, after all, it is normal to be arrested if he commits a crime.

But if he was killed directly, what would the other officials on Yanyan Road think when they knew about it?

This undoubtedly made Shaanxi worse after the rotation.

"What I am most worried about now is to block the way of officials directly. Some officials secretly collude with Xixia. If Xixia knows the situation in Shaanxi at this time, they may use troops against me!"

"Then Liu Yu established a puppet Qi in the Hejian Mansion, and he is eyeing it like a tiger."

"Recently, the article "Song Xing Lun" written by the Jinren has been clamoring among officials and among the people, and there have been many voices to give up Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi. It will undoubtedly increase the confrontation between the North and the South, and push up the voices of abandoning the North."

In a few words, Zhao Ding got to the bottom of the impact of the Northwest issue.

The investment in war must be huge, and it must be accompanied by political crisis.

Wanyan Zongwang's "Song Xing Lun" has caused endless controversy within the Song Dynasty.

Many southern officials said nothing on the surface, but in fact some people secretly supported such remarks.

Is this just Tokyo, what about the various roads in the south far away from Tokyo?

Have the officials and squires there also read Zongwang's "Song Xing Lun"? In the south where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, are the squires and landlords there willing to pay heavy taxes to the court to support the north?

The bombardment of the map by the northerners and the southerners in the court hall is extremely brutal.

These are all factors that Zhao Ning must consider.

"Then what is the good plan of the great minister?"

"Recall Yang Yizhong."

"No, the arrow has to be fired. You just said that some officials have defected to Xixia. Even if Yang Yizhong doesn't do anything, as long as the court does something, some officials will definitely surrender."

Zhao Ning directly rejected Zhao Ding's proposal, and he continued: "After Emperor Han Jing killed Chao Cuo, did the princes and kings give up?"

Zhao Ding said: "In case Liu Yu is at this time..."

"In case Liu Yu goes to war at this time, we can only fight. What we can do is to prepare pensions, food, and armaments, and stabilize the interior of the court."

"What about Yang Yizhong, he is so reckless, if he is not punished, it will be difficult to convince the public."

This killing of officials is a big deal, without the emperor's permission, random killings are definitely beyond the bounds.

Neither the New Deal School nor the Old School will let him go.

"Yang Yizhong, I will punish you."

Next, Zhao Ning entered the Daqing Palace, and the officials offered New Year congratulations to the Zhao official family, who also rewarded the officials.

Of course, the congratulations of the envoys from various countries to Zhao Guanjia and Da Song were indispensable.

In the evening, the city of Tokyo is also decorated with lights and festoons.

According to the usual practice, the family members of successive Zhao officials would go out to play in the palace on the first night of the Lunar New Year, and have fun with the people.

A time traveler like Zhao Ning couldn't sit still.

But when the Tokyo city was decorated with lights and festivities, the river was covered with ice and snow.

The endless army in front of them, wearing armor and wearing heavy knives around their waists, formed a mighty river, approaching the edge of the Yellow River.

On the first day of the first lunar month in the fifth year of Jingkang, Liu Yu mobilized an army of [-] and launched the Song-Qi War.

The reason why Liu Yu mobilized such a large number of people in a short period of time was because most of the Qi army was composed of civilian husbands and signing troops recruited by the Jin army before. It was a force secretly supported by the state of Jin in order to quickly attack the Song Dynasty.

Liu Yu is wearing a mink fur coat and riding on a horse.

Not far away, a young man ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Li San'er from Qizhou and Zhang Huaizhi from Shenzhou are willing to submit to Daqi!"

"Are they willing to send troops south to attack Jizhou?"

"willing!"

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Okay! I'll use Jizhou as an operation. After going to Jizhou, the army will approach the Daming Mansion all the way, attracting the Cangzhou and Yongjing troops and the Song army to go south to support the Daming Mansion. I will send troops to Fucheng again!"

Chapter 344 Let's Fight! (third change)

Liu Yu gave up the official way and took a hidden path.

"Liu Lin!"

"The end is here!"

"I will give you 3 horses. You enter Shenzhou overnight and get in touch with Zhang Huaizhi. You must join him within five days. After meeting Zhang Huaizhi, wait for Li San'er."

Liu Yu showed high spirits.

In fact, Jin Guo did give him enough support this time.

In addition to guiding tactics to some people, they even gave iron armor and some war horses.

It's like the way Eagle Sauce "loves" its sons.

Since the upper echelon of Jin State wanted to consume Song Dynasty during the truce, they naturally hoped that Liu Yu would come up with something real.

Even the strategy of attacking the Song Dynasty this time was given by the top leaders of the Kingdom of Jin.

It was given by Wanyan Xiyin, the military strategic genius of the Jin Kingdom, based on the current situation.

The essence of this strategy is to be quick, accurate, and ruthless.

Because the state of Qi has just been established, since it has just been established, even if Song Dynasty knew that the state of Qi had been established, he would never have thought that the Qi State would send troops on the first day of the first lunar month.

That's fast!

The meaning of quasi-heaviness is to take the Daming Mansion directly!

The meaning of ruthless is to go all out to hit the Daming Mansion and attract the Song Army to support the Daming Mansion.

But attacking the east and the west is to attack the Daming Mansion in name, but in fact it is to attack the weak eastern front.

"Remember, you want to gather 50 troops in Shenzhou, and then go south to take the Daming Mansion, understand?"

"The last general takes orders!"

On the second day of the first lunar month, Liu Yu's son Liu Lin led [-] troops into Shenzhou.

At this time in the Great Song Dynasty, some people have already noticed the strangeness in the area of ​​Hejian Mansion and conducted a careful investigation there.

Finally, an uncertain conclusion was drawn: a large army came from the north.

However, it took two full days before the scouts found a large number of marching tracks on very remote trails on the vast Hebei Great Plains, and determined that there was a large army going south.

This kind of efficiency was already very, very fast in ancient times.

When the scouts sent the news to Fucheng, it was the fifth day of the first lunar month.

At noon on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Liu Lin joined forces with Zhang Huaizhi's army in Raoyang, Shenzhou.

"The last general will see Liu Shuai!" Zhang Huaizhi was very active.

"Zhang Dutong, this is the edict of appointment from His Majesty. From today onwards, you will be the Commander of the Army and Horses of East Hebei Road!"

Zhang Huaizhi was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live!"

"Zhang Dutong, how many troops do you have under your command?"

"A total of 10 people."

"There are really 10 people?"

Zhang Huaizhi said: "Your Highness, if you want 10 people, I will give you 10 people in a short time!"

"Oh?"

"Your Highness doesn't know yet. The people's livelihood in Hebei is in decline. Many people have nowhere to go. They are bandits or become kings. The people are desperate. As long as you give them a bite to eat, countless people will join in."

When Liu Lin heard this, he was overjoyed.

From this point of view, the strategic analysis given by the upper echelons of the Jin Army is indeed true.

One of them is to buy Song Dynasty officials and people.

It is very simple to buy officials. Those officials are greedy for life and fear death, and it is too late for them to surrender.
