In Qingtang Palace, except for a few proud generations, no one regarded Yuanshan as an idiot, including Jiao Si Luo.
Yuan Shan looked rude in the main hall of the Qingtang Palace just now, but his thoughts were very careful.
Jiao Si Luo proposed a new way of distribution of benefits, but he refused without fail.
And with honesty as a game, the corner Siluo was killed, and the corner Siluo was forced to make concessions in interests.
Such a character, who regards him as an idiot, then he is the biggest idiot.
Yuanshan was born as a horse thief. He stood in the Western Regions with a humble body and sought the top spot.
Such a character, it is not an exaggeration to call it a hero.
"Yuanshan, there is still something in his stomach, not to be underestimated."
Jiao Si Luo solemnly reminded him.
Some people in Qingtang Palace nodded in agreement, while others nodded in agreement, but the look of disdain on their faces could not be concealed.
Only Mr. Wan gave a deep salute to Si Luo, "The minister has been taught..."
Jiao Siluo laughed aloud: "Mr. Wan said seriously... When Mr. Wan left my Qingtang, there was no such person as Yuanshan in the Western Regions. When Mr. Wan returned to my Qingtang, Yuanshan had already become the master of the movie. It’s unusual for Mr. Wan to not understand Yuanshan."
Mr. Wan shook his head with a wry smile, without speaking.
As a counselor, misreading the wrong person and making a rash comment, in the eyes of the emperor, is a big reduction.
It's because Qingtang doesn't have a few talents who are good at planning, otherwise his position in Qingtang might be shaken.
Regardless of the fact that Jiao Siluo always looks like a courteous corporal, you think Jiao Siluo will treat talents kindly.
In fact, Jiao Si Luo only treats those who are useful to him, and those who are useless to him, Jiao Si Luo never looks right.
Qingtang has absorbed Song Guoliang for a long time, and so far has not been able to absorb a few real auxiliary Guoliang talents, which is related to the character of Jiao Si Luo.
In Jiao Si Luo's eyes, whether a person has talent or not depends on whether he can immediately bring benefits to Qingtang.
People who can bring benefits to Qingtang immediately are talents in his eyes, and those who can't bring benefits to Qingtang, even if they are full of resources, Jiao Si Luo will not take a second look.
The people of Qingtang only saw Jiao Si Luo confronting the civil, military and courtesy corporals under his command, but they never saw Jiao Si Luo facing the surviving sages and courtesy corporal in the countryside.
Jiao Siluo didn't care about Mr. Wan's reaction. After pacifying Mr. Wan, Jiao Siluo immediately said, "How to divide the troops in the attack on Song State, everyone discuss."
This time the attack on Da Song, the soldiers and horses going to Xiliang City had already been set, and Jiao Si Luo personally led an army of 300,000 to attack.
The remaining 200,000 soldiers and horses will be dispatched to the frontiers of the Shaanxi Prefecture and Chuan Prefecture of the Great Song Dynasty respectively, and invade the Song Kingdom from both sides.
Who will lead the remaining 200,000 soldiers and horses has not been discussed before.
Because it involves the specific issue of the distribution of benefits, the leaders of the various ministries have been arguing, and there is still no definite number.
People in the palace hall, look at me, I look at you, none of them spoke first.
Because according to previous quarrel experience, whoever speaks first will become the target of being attacked.
The hall was quiet for a while.
An Ziluo looked around the ministers and suddenly said, "The minister is willing to take troops to attack the Shaanxi Mansion of Song State!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the hall opened their mouths one after another.
"General An's words are wrong. As a pro-general next to Zanpu, you will naturally follow Zanpu to Xiliang City..."
"Yes, with General An following by Zanpu's side, I can rest assured to attack Song State's Shaanxi Prefecture and Chuan Prefecture..."
"You have to protect Zampo. Zampo is my Tubo co-leader. If Zampo has an accident, I'm afraid I will be reduced to a piece of loose sand in Tubo as before."
"exactly… "
"When discussing the dispatch of troops to Xiliang City before, General An was one of the leaders who accompanied him. Now the war is about to change, how can it be changed?"
"Aruul is right..."
"..."
In an instant, all the officials in the hall became loyal and good generals, speaking righteously with a face of righteousness.
An Ziluo looked around those who spoke with contempt.
An Ziluo knew exactly what kind of ghost they were carrying in their hearts.
They just wanted to take advantage of the Qingtang army to fight with the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses in Hexi, to take the opportunity to enter the hinterland of the Song Dynasty and looting.
If Song State is a sheep, then the first person to enter the hinterland of Song State will definitely eat the fattest piece of mutton.
Now Song Kingdom is fighting on both the east and west sides, and the emptiness of troops in the Song Kingdom is a well-known thing.
Therefore, everyone in Qingtang felt that even if the Shaanxi and Chuan prefectures that went to attack the Song State would encounter resistance, there would not be too many people resisting.
An Ziluo looked at those people contemptuously, but those people didn't seem to see An Ziluo's contemptuous eyes, and they still spoke righteous Lingran righteously.
An Ziluo set his gaze on Jiao Siluo.
The matter was noisy to this day, and troops were about to be dispatched, and there was no final conclusion. Now he can only wait for Jiao Si Luo to make a decision.
Jiao Siluo frowned, staring at the noisy group of officials, and said in a deep voice: "Each ministry drew out 20,000 soldiers and horses and handed them to the leaders of Aruer and Mu Zhi. Chuanfu."
The two named military ministers were overjoyed, and they laughed loudly without any secret.
Although the others were unwilling, they didn't say anything.
Because Jiao Si Luo drew soldiers and horses from various ministries, and assembled the soldiers and horses that attacked Song State, the spoils that Arul and Mu Zhi had looted in Song State, they could also distribute some of them.
After Jiao Si Luo made a decision on the matter in one word, he ordered: "Now, go back and rectify the soldiers and horses of your ministries. Leave the soldiers and horses of Song State to Alur and Mu Zhi. I rushed to Xiliang City together."
In the main hall of the palace, Qingtang's civil and military officials agreed and left the palace.
When the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was about to leave, Jiao Si Luo bowed to Mr. Wan.
Mr. Wan stood up flattered and said, "What does Zampo mean?"
Jiao Si Luo sternly said: "My son Dong Zhen has Mr. Lao."
Mr. Wan hurriedly said: "Don't dare, it is a blessing for the minister to teach the little prince."
Jiao Si Luo nodded in satisfaction.
"When I take over Song Kingdom, I will definitely reward Mr. Wan for his homeland."
"Thank you Zamp."
"..."
After Jiao Si Luo entrusted the education of his son Dong Zhen to Mr. Wan, he no longer had any worries.
Jiao Si Luo ordered people to send Mr. Wan down to rest, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
No words for a night.
The next day.
early morning.
After getting up.
Jiao Siluo sent someone to wake Yuanshan.
Then, together with Yuanshan, rushed to the military camp outside Qingtang City.
Outside Qingtang City, there are many tents.
The white-top tents under 560,000 soldiers and horses are connected into a single piece, covering a large area of grassland.
If you observe carefully, you will find it.
The tents under Yuanshan soldiers' horses are much more regular than Qingtang soldiers' horses.
Jiao Si Luo and Yuan Shan rode out of Qingtang City together. After seeing the neat tent in Yuan Shan, he was taken aback.
"Chief Yuanshan is really good at ruling the army."
Jiao Si Luo sighed.
Yuan Shan said dismissively: "The nice thing is the tent, not the soldiers and horses. The tent is bought from the Song Dynasty. If the Qingtang King likes it, I will give you hundreds of them."
While talking in Yuanshan, the soldiers of Yuanshan Department came out of the tent lazily, one by one like slackers wandering around.
Jiao Si Luo believed Won Shan's words instantly.
Jiao Siluo said disappointedly: "I can't live with Song people's things."
After all, if the ally is strong enough, he will take less pressure, and if the ally is not strong enough, he will have to take more pressure.
Therefore, when Jiao Si Luo saw the tent of Yuanshan soldiers and horses, he reacted in two ways.
But he didn't explain the matter in public.
Because what he really cares about is the armored horses of the Yuanshan Department, he doesn't care about the other soldiers and horses of the Yuanshan Department.
Yuan Shan was taken aback, and said disapprovingly: "I think Song people's things are pretty good."
Jiao Si Luo smiled indifferently and did not speak.
When the two entered the camp, they had a little discussion about sending troops to attack the Shaanxi Prefecture and Chuan Prefecture of the Song State, and they each entered their respective military camps.
After Jiao Si Luo entered the Qingtang barracks, he ordered 200,000 soldiers and horses and gave them to Alur and Mu Zhi.
After Yuanshan entered the Yuanshan army camp, 10,000 carefully selected soldiers and horses were left behind and handed over to the commander of an armored cavalry.
After Jiao Si Luo and Yuan Shan left the soldiers and horses that attacked the Shaanxi Prefecture and Chuan Prefecture of the Song State, they led their troops out of camp and rushed to Xiliang City.
From Qingtang City to Xiliang City, it takes half a snowy mountain to go around, and the distance is not short, so the two of them will take some time.
The two of them led 350,000 horses and drove the road for a day, and then rested on a pasture at night.
Jiao Si Luo and Yuan Shan each live in a tent in their respective barracks.
Yuanshan army barracks.
The Great Account of the Chinese Army.
After nightfall, Yuan Shan sat in the Great Tent of the Chinese Army and did not fall asleep, as if waiting for someone.
Yuanshan didn't wait long before a figure quietly entered Yuanshan's tent.
Yuan Shan was not surprised when he saw him.
He put the things prepared in advance for the visitor on the side of the fire.
After the visitor sat down, he first picked up what Yuanshan had prepared for him and ate.
When Yuan Shan was eating, he said in a deep voice, "Have you met the young master?"
Yuyou gnawed on the lamb bones and shook his head, "The Liao soldiers and the Black Khan soldiers sealed Yangguan and Yumen to death. The young master should have a plan, so he can't get out of Yangguan and Yumen. I want to go in from outside. Totally impossible."
Yuan Shan frowned and said, "You can't get in either?"
Yuyou rolled his eyes, "The Liao soldiers and the Black Khan soldiers sealed Yangguan and Yumen to death, how do I get in? They swaggered past in front of their tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of troops?"
Yuanshan glanced at Yuyou, and said in a deep voice, "You know I didn't mean that."
Yuyou put down the lamb bones, "We sent six groups of people back and forth. They couldn't get in from outside the customs. I couldn't go there by myself. Then we had to give up sending letters from outside the customs and change from inside the customs.
Yuan Shan hesitated and said, "Young Master does not allow our people to appear inside the pass."
Yuyou said irritably, "Do you know that there is a saying called urgency to the right?"
Yuan Shan glared at Yuyou, "You read more books than me?"
Yuyou glared back, "Then you want me to teach you such a simple truth?"
Yuan Shan snorted: "I understand the truth, but if we want to send someone from the pass to find the young master, we have to convince the three stubborn donkeys. I really don't bother to talk to them.
Yuyou groaned: "I still have some friendship with those three stubborn donkeys, I'll go tell them. This time the matter is urgent, they should know how to adapt."
Yuanshan nodded, and was about to send the fish away.
But when Yuyou suddenly sat upright, he asked solemnly: "Why are you so loyal to Kou Ji?"
Yuan Shan was taken aback, and laughed at himself: "Am I loyal?"
Yuyou didn't answer, and continued to ask: "Is it because your wife and son are in his hands?"
Yuan Shan narrowed his eyes slightly, "How did you know this?"
Yuyou said indifferently: "You used to look at it with a pair of tiger-toed shoes. Everyone can guess that you have a child. Since your child is not by your side, he is probably in the hands of the young master.
Otherwise, you would have taken people back long ago, and you still need to see things and think about people. "
Yuan Shan took a deep breath and said, "Fine, you can tell, I won't hide it from you. I have a wife and children, but I'm not in the hands of the master."
Yuyou was taken aback, and said with a stunned expression: "What do you mean?"
Yuan Shan glanced at Yuyou and said, "My wife and children were in Kou Zhong's hands before. After Kou Zhong's death, my wife and children are free."
Yuyou was a little confused.
Yuan Shan continued: "In order to control me, Kou Zhong gave me medicine and found a woman to give me. He locked me for a long time, and waited for the woman to have a child before letting me out.
He has been controlling me through women and children. "
Yuyou pondered: "He is just a servant of the Kou Mansion, and everything he does has benefited the young master."
Yuan Shan said calmly: "The young master just asked him to think of a way to control me, but didn't tell him what way to use."
Yuyou hurriedly asked: "How do you know?"
Yuan Shan glanced at Yuyou and said, "If the young master really came up with a way, he would not let my wife and children go free."
Yuyou asked, "Your wife and children are really free now?"
Yuanshan snorted coldly: "They communicate with me a letter every month. Are they free? Can't I tell from the letter?"
Yuyou hesitated: "Those silly things are definitely not good, but you are definitely good."
Yuanshan snorted again without speaking.
Yuyou pondered and said, "Since your wife and children are free, why don't you take him to the Yuanshan Department?"
Yuan Shan disdainfully said, "What's so good about the land of barbarians? My son is now a student of Wenchang Academy, and he is destined to go to the Great Song Dynasty Hall to become a master.
Why come to this barbarian place to accompany me to endure hardship? "
Yuyou said in surprise: "You have a foundation here."
Yuanshan sneered and said, "Is it my foundation?"
Yuyou was a little bit speechless.
Anyone who really understands the inner affairs of the Yuanshan tribe knows whose foundation the Yuanshan tribe is.
After Yuyou was silent for a while, he said: "But even so, the young master still threatens you indirectly, don't you hate him in your heart?"
Yuanshan stared at Yuyou coldly, "Are you testing me?"
Yuyou shook his head and said, "No, I am curious. Because I found out a long time ago, you have always held resentment towards the young master in your heart, but it has disappeared in recent years.
If you resent the young master, you must be resenting the young master for threatening him with your family.
It stands to reason that you should not give up your resentment towards the young master before reuniting with your family.
What made you change your mind.
I am more curious about this. "
Yuan Shan gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want Master to be a blind man."
Yuyou looked blank.
Yuan Shan said coldly: "In the past, I always felt that the young master was using me, so I was hostile to the young master in my heart. But after Yuanshan was up, I realized that he was not using me.
He valued me.
He gave me the power of the Yuanshan Department without hesitation.
He almost never intervenes in the affairs of the Yuanshan Department.
What does this show? It shows that he values me and that he thinks that Zhang Yuan has the talent to assist the country and can manage the politics of a country.
You should know what Zhang Yuan was like when I first met him.
He can see my talents, and can use me as a national scholar, I will naturally be rewarded by the national scholar. "
Yuyou said in amazement: "That's it?"
Yuan Shan solemnly said, "Is this not enough?"
Yuyou said solemnly: "But he controls your wife and children..."
Yuan Shan sneered, "Have you seen him threaten me with my wife and children?"
Yuyou hesitated for a while, and carefully searched the memory in his mind, and found that it didn't seem to be there, and shook his head.
Yuan Shan continued: "Those dudes in the city of Bianjing, those old princes and ancestors who are rich in the mansion, which one is not Zhao Song’s hostage? Have you seen anyone among them who has talked to Zhao Song about this face?"
Yuyou said solemnly: "Zhao Song is different from Kou."
Yuan Shan smiled disdainfully and said: "What's the difference? Just because one has a dragon chair and the other doesn't. Do you think it is difficult for the young master to want a dragon chair?"
Yuyou closed his mouth and couldn't say a word.
After a long time, he stared at Yuanshan and said with emotion: "I really can't understand your thoughts."
Yuan Shan smiled and said, "If you treat him as an emperor, you will understand what I think."
Yuyou pondered for a while, shook his head and said nothing.
Kou Ji is not here, and if Kou Ji is here, he can probably understand Won Shan's thoughts.
Zhang Yuan in the history book, because he was underestimated, then resolutely voted for Xixia. After he voted for Xixia, he was planning one thing from beginning to end, that is, helping Xixia conquer the Song Dynasty.
He just wanted the guys in the Great Song Dynasty Hall to know that they were blind and didn't see his talents, not that he was really ignorant.
The current Zhang Yuan is valued by Kou Ji.
He discovered that Kou Ji really valued him, and after he really felt that he was talented, he wanted to spare no effort to help Kou Ji do things and help Kou Ji build a terrifying achievement.
He just wanted to let everyone in the world know at the moment when his identity was revealed that Kou Ji didn't misunderstand the wrong person, and that Zhang Yuan really had the talent of a national scholar.
This matter is put in later generations, and many people may have difficulty understanding.
But in ancient times, it was the norm.
One of the most famous examples is Han Xin.
You Xiang Yu is blind and can't see my Han Xin's talents, then I can only leave you.
Although Liu Bang is also average, he has discerning people who can see my Han Xin's talents. If he is willing to reuse me, I should let him know what Guo Shi Wushuang is.
Thousands of years later, the world only tells you that Xiang Yu has no eyes but no one will say that Liu Bang is blind.
That's what Zhang Yuan meant to Yu Lobby's reluctance to let Kou Ji be a blind man.
If he could help Kou Ji build the supreme accomplishment, thousands of years later, the world would only say that the Dagongong in the Zhao Song Dynasty had no eyes, but no one would say that Kou Ji was blind.
Yuyou didn't understand Zhang Yuan's thoughts, and Zhang Yuan couldn't tell him the true meaning of "The king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay the countryman.
Because fish swims origin and ability determine his vision.
He never touched the word "Guo Shi" in his whole life, so he couldn't understand how attractive it is to a truly talented person that'you treat me as a state scholar, and I will repay it.'
What if the wife and children are taken hostage
In order to reciprocate the grace of knowledge, there are many people who abandon their wives and children.
"I'll talk to that three stubborn donkey..."
Yuyou felt that it was not suitable for him to talk to Yuanshan any more.
Because the things in Yuanshan's mind are different from the things in his mind.
Yuanshan didn't care, and let the fish go away. When the fish swam away, Yuanshan narrowed his eyes and muttered: "With your ability, you can choose the throne of the world, why do you want to assist the Zhao family
The throne attracts everyone in the world, but why can't it attract you? "
This is the only thing Yuanshan cannot understand so far.
Yuyou went out to discuss with the three leaders of Yuanshan Iron Cavalry for a long time, and then hurriedly returned to the Great Tent of the Chinese Army.
Seeing that Yuyou's face was good, Yuanshan smiled calmly, "They agreed?"
Yuyou nodded and said: "It's about the young master's deployment, and they won't do it if they don't agree."
Yuan Shan nodded and said: "Then you quickly send someone to see the young master, and tell the young master about Qingtang and Yuanshan's dispatch of troops and the division of troops. The young master should make arrangements in Shaanxi and Chuanfu, but this time Qingtang dispatched two hundred thousand elite soldiers, and the Song State was empty. I was afraid that the means arranged by the young master could not be resisted, so this matter should be emphatically told to the young master."
"Understand..."
"..."
Yuyou immediately left the Chinese army's large account and sent someone to secretly pass on the news to Kou Ji.
Yuan Shan slept in his Chinese army tent.
…
Two days later.
Inside Yumen Pass.
Kou Ji and Chong Shiheng are sitting on the Yumenguan gate building and playing games. Outside the pass is a million army of the Black Khan Dynasty, inside the pass is the Song Dynasty 70,000 forbidden army, and the Song Dynasty 330,000 local soldiers, as well as Hexi’s hundreds of soldiers. Thousands of people.
Chong Shiheng fell behind, glanced outside Guancheng, and asked, "When will you start?"
Kou Ji fell behind and said with a smile: "No hurry..."
Zhong Shiheng sighed, "When you brought the troops here before, I thought I was going to counterattack soon. After you arrived, you just asked me to prepare the counterattack deployment, but didn't rush to counterattack, but pulled me. I played chess here for a few days."
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Is it good to play chess?"
Zhong Shiheng rolled his eyes and said, "If it is matched, it will be good, but if it is unilaterally tortured, it will naturally be bad."
Kou Ji dropped the chess piece he had just picked up and said with a smile: "Do you dislike my bad chess skills?"
Zhong Shiheng faintly raised his head without speaking.
He didn't want to evaluate Kou Ji's chess skills, because it was so bad that he couldn't evaluate it.
