Chapter 43

Jin Changtai sighed: "Those who have been carrying out the people in the past dynasties, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Jiao and Huang Chao have never been in a situation where the people are alive and live without a hundred miles. The Khitan has been established for two hundred years, and it is known as 700,000 cavalry. The Jurchens are aggressive with the momentum of violent prosperity. There are hundreds of thousands of Hu people listed in Tokyo, and there are countless people in the mountains and forests. This is the foundation of the Khitan people. The two tigers in Liaodong fight each other, and the Han army is between Hu, and the strength of the Han people is very easy. Even if the entire Liaodong Han people are carried in, it will be difficult to save them. On the contrary, the greater the momentum, the more tragic the revenge they arouse."

He was still waiting to speak, Zhao Xingde closed the copy at hand and whispered: "Beware of the partition walls, let's talk in another place." Jin Changtai's face changed slightly, and the two of them came to the cliff of the archery range. The place was empty and visible, but unexpectedly, the words fell into the ears of those who were interested.

The soldiers who practice archery and martial arts in the distance knew that Jin Sima and Zhao Xiaowei had a good personal relationship. Seeing that they were talking here, some raised their weapons to greet them. Jin Changtai reluctantly smiled and raised his hand to respond. Although the cliff and the archery range were not far away, the mountain wind whistled, as if thousands of troops and horses were fighting together, and they were like thousands of ghosts crying together, and the sounds on both sides could not be heard clearly.

Zhao Xingde looked at the vast mountains under the cliff, was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "In a corner of the world, Yuguan is its gateway, Xianbei Mountains, Taibai Mountains are its city walls, and the East China Sea is its trenches. It is also very open and deep inside. In addition to bitter and cold, the land is flat and fertile, and both salt and iron are abundant. Goguryeo, Khitan, and Jurchen established the country here, and there is no shortage of horses and strong soldiers, and there is no shortage of weapons and food. Even with the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it is extremely difficult for the Central Plains army to march straight into. When the Hu people retreated, they lie dormant in the white mountains and black waters to rest, and when they rise, they prepare for their troops and go south again to invade the Central Plains. Although the conquests have been endless since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this great trouble cannot be eradicated."

"So, although the Nanjing Road in Liao Kingdom is called wealthy, the Tokyo Road is the real place between us, just like Guanzhong in our dynasty. Since the Han Dynasty, in modern times, the Liao Kingdom's Shangjing, Nanjing and other places were short of food, and it was also supported by the Tokyo Road. The Liao army did not have any setbacks in the south. Even though they lost the two roads in Xijing and Nanjing, as long as they went to Beijing and the Tokyo Road was safe, they could quickly recover their vitality."

"If the Han army can form a power, wander between the Khitan and the Jurchens, join forces with the weak to resist the strong, and extend the life-and-death struggle between the two tigers and wolves tribes of the Khitan and the Jurchens. After a few years of fierce battles, even if they were defeated by the Khitan and the Jurchens, the Tokyo Road will be crushed to pieces. The elite males are exhausted, and there will be no one in the living and the people. Tokyo Road is in decline and ruined. Whether it is the Khitan and the Jurchens established the country, they will lose their depth and retreat. As long as they fight a few more victories in the south and destroy their elite soldiers, they can do their best to attack Huanglong and uproot the border troubles of the Central Plains for hundreds of years."

After the cold wind was howling, Jin Changtai listened to Zhao Xingde's explanation carefully, and he was silent for a long time before sighing: "I do not disagree with the plan of doing things straight. But after the three sides fought, thousands of miles of Liaodong would definitely flow blood and drift into naked land, and all the houses were destroyed. The people were alive and the people were alive. It was heartbreaking. The Khitans rode and shot like flying, and the Jurchens were strong and vicious. The Khitan court had been forbidden by Han people to practice martial arts for decades. Ordinary people in Liaodong did not practice military revolution, even if they were hastily wrapped up.

How could he be the opponent of the tiger and wolf army? He could only fill the gullies and block the sharp blades. In the end, eight out of ten are thousands of miles away from the ground, and hundreds of years have passed away." The responsibility of the marching department is to formulate various military plans and dispatch the generals of the military office to realize it. Therefore, the marching Sima Jin Changtai is particularly sensitive to the consequences of the people's strategy, and even if Wang Hengzhi and others expected such tragic consequences, they might not feel as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Zhao Xingde shook his head and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for this, what can we do with the thousands of Han troops alone? It's just that the Han army is carrying hundreds of thousands of Han people, or it's still the weakest fish in Liaodong, but with us, the Xia Kingdom behind us, and the Han people in the Central Plains continue to support it?" His face was slightly dark and he whispered, "Even if a game fails in the end, the blood of the Jurchens and the Khitans will be dried up. If not... …” Zhao Xingde paused and said in a more intense tone, “These more than one million people have become the help of the enemy in a blink of an eye. Whether it is incorporated into the Khitan tribe by Yelu Dashi, or incorporated into Meng'an Mouke by the Jurchens, working for foreign races, transporting supplies, food and grass, or even helping evil and accomplices for tigers, it will make more innocent people shed ten or a hundred times the blood. If you miss the opportunity, you will make a big mistake and regret it in the future.”

After hearing Zhao Xingde's words, Jin Changtai nodded, shook his head and sighed. When Zhao Xingde heard that his heart was not relieved, he patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "This is just the worst plan, and the situation may not have evolved to such a bad point."

Jin Changtaidao nodded and said, "Well, everyone fights for a fight. No matter how powerful and heroes, they will have to run out of blood. It is a fertile place with thousands of miles of fertile land. With your plan, coupled with the artillery, weapons, and food of our dynasty, even if they are defeated by the Khitan and the Jurchens, they will be greatly damaged." He was relieved of his depression and his passion suddenly became successful. This time, he asked to conquer Liaodong, and he had a sense of death on the battlefield. No matter what victory or defeat, it was enough to shake the luck of the world, and it was not considered a waste of blood.

Zhao Xingde felt the change in his mood, patted Jin Changtai on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Now the difference between the strength and weakness of the enemy and us is very different. Even if we fight together, it is very difficult to die. Let Wang Tongdeng and the centurions first come to us. It is not a trivial matter to go down the mountain to cope with the people. We must also have a plan."

Looking at Jin Changtai's back, Zhao Xingde's heart was mixed. To be fair, he was unwilling to get more than one million Liaodong Han people into the war. Unfortunately, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. The humiliation of the Central Plains after the Jingkang Shame in memory cannot be easily let go. He will definitely not let go of the opportunity to completely destroy this so-called dragon-rise land.

Under the bright sunshine, hundreds of Chengying soldiers and Han soldiers were making noise. Everyone knew that they would have to do something big soon, and everyone had a smile and hope on their faces. "They are all good men. In a few years, I wonder how many people will be left?" Zhao Xingde couldn't help but think, "Chen Shaoyang has always taken the world as his responsibility. If he stood in my position, what choice would he make?"

During the Song Dynasty, the market in Hangzhou became much deserted, and many innocent people lost their livelihoods and made people willing to pick them. In the Accord of Linjiang Tower, Chen Dong looked happy. His mentor Shao Wu wrote a letter to suggest that the new emperor attached great importance to him, and he repeatedly mentioned Chen Dong Zhongzhi during the comments, and it seemed that he would soon be recruited and activated.

"Master Yang's mourning hall was unintentional for a while, but in just a few words, the officials remembered it in his heart." Chen Dong smiled, picked up a cup of tea, but held it in the air, and did not deliver it to his mouth for a long time. "Do you want to be a little reserved? Wang Wengong didn't come out of the mountain just by just vanishing?" Chen Dong took a sip of the tea, but the flames in his heart burned even more vigorously. "The world is the time when a real man takes action, why should hesitate!"

While his mind was in a state of excitement, the pavilion door was suddenly pushed open. Zhao Bo, the shopkeeper of Yajiaoxing, came in and bowed, "Young Master Chen, forgive me for your crimes. The villain has delayed some time for Mr. Zhao to buy a pufferfish, so I am late."

Chen Dong waved his hand, not disobedient, and asked, "Is there any news about Xingde?" Zhao Bo was Zhao Xingde's cousin. He was not old, but he was safe in doing things. When Li Yong asked Xingde to find someone who could trust, Zhao Xingde recommended him.

Zhao Bo looked happy and took out a letter from his arms, and smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Zhao has sent you a letter." Every time Zhao Xingde wrote to Chen Dong, he would write a letter to Zhao Bo at the same time, explaining that no matter how strange the things he did were, Zhao Bo always tried his best to do it. For example, this time Zhao Xingde asked him to find fifty pairs of pufferfish, wait for someone to join him, and then take a sea boat to Zhenhai Mansion of Liaoguo. Zhao Bo immediately arranged for the fisherman to catch pufferfish without hesitation, and then came to meet Chen Dong.

"What Yuan Zhi is looking for puffer fish? Is it just to fill his stomach or to express his homesickness?" Chen Dong pressed his confusion and asked him to open the letter in his hand. Zhao Xingde mentioned that he wanted Chen Dong to help him arrange the publication of two booklets, one of which was written by the Khitan Han righteous army resisting the barbarians, and the other was a special food list about Liaodong. This letter was obviously written during the journey, with a bit confusing notes and vague.

Chen Dong couldn't help frowning and said to himself: "Does Zhao Yuanzhi really plan to retreat to the mountains and forests and actually spend his thoughts on the food list?" Although the late emperor passed away, Zhao Yuanzhi colluded with Mingjiao's rebellion case but never rehabilitated. This case was an imperial case appointed by the late emperor. I'm afraid the new emperor would not want to change it easily. He sighed secretly, "Loyal and good people are wronged. Yuanzhi is ten times more talented than me, but he cannot be used by the country. Therefore, it is understandable that he has developed ambitions for seclusion in the mountains and forests. It's a pity. No one is more difficult than to promote wise men without jealousy. If I have to do anything in the future, I will definitely recommend him to the official family. Minghuan died and Yuanzhi went to the country. These were all harmed by treacherous ministers. The mentor said that the official family has never liked the tyrants such as Cai Jing and others, and they were demoted for several months. Unfortunately, they could not see the consequences of the old thief with their own eyes."

Once the emperor was once a minister, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, the old party of Qingliu suddenly became domineering. Cai Jing not only kept silent in the court and watched the show coldly, but also handed over a memorial to beg for bones after the funeral ceremony of the previous emperor. As expected, the new emperor Zhao Ke did not even try to keep his face and immediately agreed. At this moment, even the slowest court officials could tell the direction of the court.
