North Song

Chapter 874: Conquering Liao again, there was a storm

Views:

It's not that Gao Gong Gong had something wrong with the military affairs, but the place where Gong Gong was sitting on the town, suddenly more than 400,000 murderers emerged.

The place where he sits on the high ground is not a military important place, nor is it a battlefield for military strategists. Therefore, Kou Ji sent him not many soldiers and horses, only 50,000 forbidden troops.

Fifty thousand to nearly four hundred thousand.

Even with artillery and muskets to help out, it is impossible to win.

The huge advantage of the number of people allowed the murderers to attack the Great Wall for dozens of miles at the same time.

The fifty thousand forbidden troops in Gong's hands are gathered in one place, so naturally they are not afraid of the murderers.

But after being dispatched to the Great Wall, which was dozens of miles long, it seemed a little stretched.

Under the attack of the murderers, Gao Chu Gong could only defend, but basically couldn't resist.

After the news reached Kou Ji's ears, Kou Ji immediately dispatched Li Si and his Jiaozhi soldiers to assist.

Just after Li Si led his troops to leave Gubeikou, a large number of murderers emerged at the two lines of Gubeikou and Yuguan at the same time.

"Someone is controlling the murderer behind!"

After seeing the number of murderers several times more than before, Kou Ji spoke almost without hesitation.

Chong Shiheng stared at the overwhelming murderer outside Gubeikou, and said, "I'm afraid it's not just the murderer... the people of the entire Jingdong Road of Liao Kingdom, I'm afraid they will also be driven over."

Most of the murderers outside Gubeikou had no weapons in their hands.

No one believed that they were murderers.

They can appear here, obviously someone else deliberately drove them over.

Kou Ji frowned and said: "A large number of ordinary people are mixed, and the people are restrained, and the threats to us by the murderers are greatly reduced. The crisis of the murderers breaking through the defense line of our Great Song Dynasty is completely solved.

It's just that such a large number of people gather outside the customs.

We have to clean them all, I'm afraid it will take more than a month.

In other words, we cannot leave the customs for more than a month. "

Hearing Kou Ji’s words, Chong Shiheng said without hesitation: “It’s the Nine Khitan tribes! They want to really do something against Yelvzong. They are afraid that we will stabbing a knife in the back. Let's go out."

Kou Ji nodded and said: "They can be regarded as helping Da Song solve a big problem, but I am a little dissatisfied with what they did."

Hearing this, Zhong Shiheng said dumbfounded: "Unless you transfer all the rest of the Forbidden Army, otherwise we can only watch the people divide the Liao Kingdom."

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "The other forbidden troops are located far away from the mountain high and far away. When they are transferred to their hands, they will rush here. We have already dealt with the so-called murderers outside the city.

If they want to divide the Liao country, let them divide it.

When they partition the Liao Kingdom, we will go out to partition them. "

Zhong Shiheng nodded in agreement.

Kou Ji said: "Send someone to Weifu Mansion in Black Mountain, tell Yang Wenguang, let him move a place, let him take his people to the Liao State to wait outside Shangjing Road.

Then the murderers who were trying to pass Dongshengzhou were resolved.

He solved the murderers in Dongshengzhou, and Wang Kai and Li Zhaoliang could free their hands.

Let Wang Kai and Li Zhaoliang lead the troops. "

Zhong Shiheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Are you planning to take the opportunity to take the entire territory of Liao Kingdom? This matter has spread to the court, can the court agree to it?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the nine Khitan tribes to carve up the Liao State, it is a good opportunity to win the entire territory of the Liao State.

But from the winter of last year to the present, Song Da Song has been fighting again and again.

There are more than a million soldiers and horses who know how to use them.

The consumption of money and food in the middle has exceeded the sum of all military consumption since Zhao Zhen became the throne.

More importantly, the Battle of Hexi and the Battle of the Sixteen States in Yanyun gave birth to hundreds of high-ranking dukes, marquis, earls, etc., and a huge number of low-ranking winners.

The area of Liao Kingdom is larger than that of Song Dynasty.

If the entire territory of the Liao Kingdom is taken, the number of Song Duke will probably exceed one hundred, and the number of Marquis will probably exceed one thousand.

The huge martial arts will instantly become the biggest force in the court.

Civil officials, the remaining imperial clan, and other forces combined, are not Wuxun's opponents.

The imperial court is still only discussing entrusting the king, and if it takes the entire territory of the Liao Kingdom, the imperial court must be entrusted.

And a king can't stop it.

No matter how powerful the civil servants were, they couldn't achieve the goal of conquering kings.

Once Wang Jue appeared among the military ministers, he would be able to suppress the civil servants everywhere.

The civil servants knew this result, how could they be allowed to conquer the whole territory of Liao country smoothly.

Kou Ji asked Zhong Shiheng, "Why do you want the court to agree? The officials agree. When the soldiers and horses led by Li Zhaoliang and Wang Kai arrive, I will dismiss all local soldiers.

At that time, the military affairs against the Liao State will be the military affairs of my Privy Council.

What qualifications do other people have to intervene in the military affairs of the Privy Council? "

"Those civil servants..."

Zhong Shiheng is still worried.

Kou Ji glanced at Zhong Shiheng, "I have been bullied by the Liao State for decades, and now I have finally turned defeat into victory, and there is a chance to destroy the Liao State. Why should I miss it

And why did you let the Liao country go and let them sit down again

As long as the civil servants are not stupid, they will not stop this war. "

Zhong Shiheng frowned and said, "But we are sitting big, not what they want to see."

Kou Ji nodded and said: "So they are likely to do everything possible to replace us with someone else to replace us. But they will definitely not stop the war in Liaoning.

And the only officials who can change us back.

If the officials didn't nod their heads, it would be useless for them to write a book. "

Zhong Shiheng hesitated: "Will the official family replace us back."

Kou Ji fell into silence when he heard this.

Zhong Shiheng stared at Kou Ji closely, waiting for the answer.

Kou Ji thought for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

Although Kou Ji watched Zhao Zhen become mature a little bit, he knew Zhao Zhen more or less.

But on this kind of thing, he is not good at making assertions.

He didn't want Zhao Zhen to exchange them back.

But thinking about it in another way, if he were in Zhao Zhen's position, he would definitely replace them all.

There is no other reason, and the credit of these people is too high.

He has reached the point where he can't be sealed.

After Zhong Shiheng made great achievements in Hexi, he has actually reached the point where he can't be sealed.

Prior to this, the imperial court awarded all soldiers who made merits in Hexi, but did not mention the award to them.

It's not that the court doesn't want to reward them, but the court has nothing to give them except the king.

They held the court's military power again.

It has reached the point where it can threaten Zhao Zhen's throne.

Zhao Zhen exchanged them back. It is absolutely possible that all the righteousness of the emperor and his ministers is to prevent usurping the throne.

The Zhao Song imperial family was a royal family that grew up through mutiny.

Now Zhao Zhenneng, the powerful bandit Ji in General Zhao Zhenneng, can definitely be regarded as a super-magnanimous emperor to Chong Shiheng and others.

If it is replaced by Zhao Guangyi or Zhao Heng, it is estimated that the two of them have long been full of eunuchs and important ministers, and they have put their knives behind them.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen's trust in them has exceeded the trust of an emperor in his courtiers.

So if Zhao Zhen exchanged them back later, Kou Ji could understand it.

After all, even if Zhao Zhen trusted them again, he couldn't take the initiative to send the throne to their bottom.

Kou Ji didn't know what Zhao Zhen should choose.

But Zhao Zhen knew what he should choose.

When Zhao Zhen sent someone to send a transfer order to Wang Kai and Li Zhaoliang, he also wrote a memo and sent it to Bianjing.

As soon as Zou Shu entered Beijing, it immediately aroused heated discussion.

A strange scene appeared on the court.

The civil servants who had not dealt with the military officials in the past unexpectedly jumped out to recommend those military officials in the court to go to the frontier to fight.

Everyone in the government and the opposition knows its purpose.

Just don't let Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng and others make contributions.

If Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng and others were to make groundbreaking achievements, the throne would really be in danger of changing their surnames.

It is worth mentioning that Kou Ji's guess is very accurate.

The courtiers only asked Zhao Zhen to send someone to replace Kou Ji and Chong Shiheng, but no one had any objection to Kou Ji's proposal to take the opportunity to attack the Liaotu outside Guan.

Zishitang.

Lv Yijian said solemnly: "The minister recommends the veteran Hu Yan to be the pioneer of the Liao campaign..."

Zhang Zhibai arched his hands and said: "The minister elected veteran Wang De to be a general in the Liao army..."

Wang Zeng, who had just escorted a large number of gold and silver back to the court, also said: "The minister elected veteran Gao Jixun as the pioneer of the Liao campaign..."

The people recommended by the three of Lu Yijian are very interesting.

Almost all the three elected by the three are veterans.

Huyan must be the son of the famous general of the Great Song Dynasty Hu Yanzan. When Emperor Zhenzong was on the throne, he had fought many battles for the Great Song Dynasty, but he was not as famous as Cao Wei and Li Jilong.

In his later years, Hu Yan must be severely ill, almost in a state of semi-retirement.

After Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, Hu Yan Biqiu has been in a state of retiring almost all the time, so his reputation is not very obvious.

Wang Deyong hardly needs to say that it was an absolutely loyal royalist party. Because of his aging relationship, he was transferred to Yulinwei soon after the reform of the military system. He served as the general of Yulinwei and was responsible for Zhao Zhen's safety.

Zhao Zhen didn't take him when he was out of the palace before, so he led the remaining Yulin Guards to help Zhao Zhen guard the palace.

Gao Jixun, that is the veteran of the veterans, his father is a subordinate of the founding general of Song Dynasty Wang Shenqi, named Gao Qiong.

The minister of the hidden residence of Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty, with outstanding meritorious service.

After his death, he was posthumously named Wei Wang, posthumous posthumous title Liewu.

So many people call him King Liewu.

Gao Jixun can be regarded as a master of the door, and he has established a lot of credit for the Great Song Dynasty. He was named the founding duke of Bohai County. He is now more than 70 years old and suffers from diseases.

In his later years, Gao Jixun was in a state of semi-retirement.

After Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, he has been in a state of retreat. In these years, he only showed up when Zhao Zhen became the throne, and he could barely stay out the rest of the time.

And he tried his best to restrain the children in the family and prevent them from coming out to cause trouble.

It is precisely because of this that the children in their family have been spared the trouble that Zhao Zhen had dealt with Wu Xun before.

It is worth mentioning that Da Song has two Gao families.

One is the Gao family established by Gao Huaide and the other is the Gao family established by Gao Qiong.

Many times, many people always confuse the two.

I always feel that they are one family.

For example, the famous female middle school Yao Shun Gao, the queen mother Gao Taotao recorded in the history books, came from the Gao family established by Gao Qiong, not from the Gao family established by Gao Huaide.

Gao Taotao's grandfather was Gao Jixun, who was recommended by Wang Zeng.

Lu Yijian elected three veterans to replace Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng, and Gao Chu Gong. It was not that these three veterans could play.

Rather, he felt that the status of these three veterans was adequate, and could barely replace Kou Ji, Chong Shiheng, and Gao Chu Gong.

After listening to the election of the three of Lu Yijian, Zhao Zhen said with a displeased expression: "In order to exchange my fourth brother and Chong Shiheng, you can also break it.

Gao Jixun, who is in his seventies, needs help when he walks.

Do you dare to recommend it

You guys think I don't like Song Lian Zhan and Lian Jie, so you want me to lose a few games.

Still feel that my big Song Bingfeng is unstoppable and needs to train an opponent? "

The three of Lu Yijian glanced at each other.

Lu Yijian said, "Gao Jixun follows the old man, but he can still fight."

Wang Zeng agreed and said: "Cao Wei will be able to help me get back the Sixteenth State of Yanyun in Da Song. Gao Jixun's body is slightly better than him, and he can also contribute to my Da Song."

Zhao Zhen's expression became cold, "Is there no one under my hand, or I have no good generals in Song Dynasty, and I need to send three people who are more than two hundred years old together?"

When the three of Lu Yijian heard this, their expressions were a little ugly.

It is indeed inappropriate to send three veterans into battle.

But other people, without their qualifications, are not qualified to replace the Kou Ji trio.

Lu Yijian bit his scalp and said: "The three of them all have the ambition to shroud in horse leather, and I hope the officials will give them a chance."

"die on the battlefield?!"

Zhao Zhen patted the table and stood up, "What a shroud of horse leather! The shroud of horse leather sounds good to me, but my heart hurts in my eyes. They have fought for my Song for a lifetime, and I can't let them peaceful old age, but also let them be covered in horse leather. How to be a king father

I was afraid that Cao Wei would die in front of the two armies in a shroud of horse leather, so after the recapture of the sixteen states of Yanyun, I left hundreds of thousands of troops and brought Cao Wei back personally.

Now you are going to send three veteran officials to the Shroud of Horse Leather, are you ill-tempered as me? ! "

The three of Lu Yijian hurriedly said: "The minister dare not wait..."

Zhao Zhen angrily said: "Dare you still recommend it?!"

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said, "The ministers are also for the sake of Song Jiangshan. Kou Ji and Chong Shiheng are all ranked first. They fought a big victory in Hexi, and the court has not yet awarded a reward.

They fought a few big victories in Yanyun Sixteen States, and the court did not award them.

When they took the entire territory of Liao, the court had to reward them.

When the time comes, it will be difficult for non-different kings to show their merits.

Cao Wei is dead, but Feng Yi's surname is okay.

But they are strong and strong, and they have a different surname, which is a disaster for me.

Once one of them has an alienation in their lives, it will be a huge disaster for the court and the people. "

Zhao Zhen said with a sullen face: "They are loyal to me."

Lu Yijian said solemnly: "The officials also know that they are loyal to the official family. But the Emperor Taizu was also loyal to Zhou Chairong back then, but the people under him became double-minded and put the yellow robe hard on Taizu's body.

That's why I have a great Song Jiangshan.

The ministers can guarantee that they are loyal to the officials, but they cannot guarantee that the people under them are also loyal to the officials.

So the minister urged the officials to think twice. "

"presumptuous!"

Zhao Zhen shouted angrily: "Lu Yijian, arguing about Taizu, are you tired of living?"

Lv Yijian said in a loud voice: "It is the fault of the minister to arbitrarily discuss the Taizu, and the minister is willing to plead guilty. But the minister will never watch Kou Ji and others continue to sit down and become a victim of my great song.

For the sake of the Song Dynasty’s nearly 100-year foundation, and for the tens of thousands of people in the world, I also asked the officials to think twice. "

"Also ask the officials to think twice..."

"Also ask the officials to think twice..."

Zhang Zhibai and Wang Zeng spoke together.

"Presumptuous! Give me a fork! Three years of fines!"

Zhao Zhen shouted angrily.

Chen Lin immediately took a few eunuchs and appeared in front of the three of Lu Yijian.

The three of Lu Yijian were not afraid at all.

Lv Yijian said with a serious face: "Even if the official is beheaded, the minister will not give up preventing Kou Ji and others from continuing to sit up."

"Do you want to die?!"

Zhao Zhen gritted his teeth and asked.

However, before Zhao Zhen and Lu Yijian spoke again, Chen Lin had already led the three of Lu Yijian out.

After Lu Yijian and others were taken out of Shishitang, Zhao Zhen's anger disappeared, and he let out a breath: "Chen Lin still understands my mind, and then let them fight with me, I can just Riding a tiger is difficult, we must deal with them."

The three of Lu Yijian made it clear that they were going to be tough with Zhao Zhen.

If they refuse to give up, Zhao Zhen will have to deal with them.

Chen Lin knew that Zhao Zhen didn't want to deal with them, so before they completely froze, she really put them out.

After Chen Lin sent the three of Lu Yijian out of the palace, they returned to Shishitang and said to Zhao Zhen dumbfounded: "Officials, why don't you tell them your true purpose

If you tell them your true purpose, they will definitely not make trouble again. "

Zhao Zhen let out a sigh of relief: "It's not the time yet. If you tell them now, they will definitely spread the news.

If they spread the news, how can I try to seize the family business of Cao Wei and others? "

Chen Lin smiled bitterly: "The three of Lu Yijian should not be the kind of talkative people."

Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "They all started to make trouble, and that means that the civil and military troubles below are even more fierce. Once I tell them the truth, they will surely die, and they will definitely see the flaws by the civil and military forces below.

When the time comes, the civil and military forces below are forced, they will not reveal my plan and plan

At that time, Cao Wei and others heard the wind, and they didn't quickly sell the fields, mansions, shops and other things in their hands at low prices and exchange them for real money that was easy to carry.

I can keep their fields, mansions, and shops, but I can't keep the real money in their hands. "

Chen Lin said with a bitter face: "But they are not finished. Just now when the slaves sent the three of Lu Yijian out, the three of Lu Yijian also threatened to bring hundreds of officials to come to you to petition."

Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "If you let the wind go, you say that the queen and others are about to give birth and can't stand the alarm. If it is their fault that harms my heirs, I will kill them.

Go to the queen dowager’s palace again, please walk around the gate of our dowager’s palace.

When he met courtiers, he blocked them back. "

Chen Lin nodded when she heard the words: "In this way, they won't make trouble in the palace."

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled and said, "I won't go out of the palace either, and they won't let me go out of the palace either."

Chen Lin laughed out loud when she heard this.

After laughing, he seemed to think of something, and said: "With the merits of the prince Kou, the crowning of the king is probably an ironclad thing.

The maidservant can remember that Kou Mansion has a lot of real money.

If the officials sealed Kou Shimi as the king, I'm afraid they won't get much land.

Moreover, are the officials willing to let Priscilla Kou leave? "

Zhao Zhen curled his lips and said angrily: "You don't need to pay a bride price to marry my girl?"

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, and said: "Nowadays, the wedding atmosphere in Bianjing is a bit weird. This husband's married daughter has a rich dowry and scary. This husband's married wife does not need to give too many beauties.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the dowry of a woman's dowry for a woman's dowry, after it reaches the man, remains the woman's property, and its ownership belongs to the wife.

So when the woman marries a girl, she is not afraid of too many dowries.

Because no matter how many are the girls who go out of their own home.

The girl has a generous dowry to support her, and after she goes to the man’s house, she speaks hard.

More importantly, once the two parties dissolve the marriage, the woman’s dowry is still the woman’s and can be taken away at any time without leaving it to the man.

It is precisely because of the existence of such laws that those powerful people in Bianjing City, when they marry their daughters, in order to protect their daughters from being bullied, the dowry for their dowry is rich.

A typical example has been preached for thousands of years.

It was Su Shi's younger brother Su Che who married a daughter.

The allusion name is Su Zhe married daughter, and also called bankrupt married daughter.

It is about Su Che's younger brother. In order to marry his daughter, he not only matched all the money in the family, but also sold a large house worth tens of millions in Bianjing City, and took the money he received as a dowry.

It can be seen how ruthless it was that the woman in the Song Dynasty stuck to the man.

Therefore, Chen Lin did not lie about it, but explained a fact to Zhao Zhen.

After listening to Chen Lin's words, Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, "I will paint them a bit bigger for the Kou family at that time, shouldn't his Kou family leave more betrothal gifts for me?"

When Chen Lin heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry, "As for the temperament of Priscilla Kou, if you really seal him out, he won't let you take advantage."

Zhao Zhen snorted, "Who said that I would seal my fourth brother out?"

Chen Lin was taken aback and looked at Zhao Zhen in amazement.

Kou Ji's contribution to Song Dynasty can be said to be unmatched.

If everyone else is crowned king, but Kou Ji is not crowned king, then Kou Ji will have ideas, and it is easy to create estrangements between monarchs and ministers.

Seeing Chen Lin's stunned expression, Zhao Zhen said indifferently, "I and my fourth brother still have a lot to do, so it is impossible for me to seal my fourth brother out.

Therefore, the prince of Kou Mansion fell on the head of my son-in-law.

It’s not uncommon in my Dasong to be the father’s son.

At that time, I will let Kou Mansion move everything out, leaving only the fourth brother and his wife in Bianjing. "

When Chen Lin heard this, she looked astonished, "I am afraid that the civil and military people of the dynasty will not agree..."

The purpose of relocating the prince was to eliminate the influence and harm of the prince on the Song Dynasty.

But if Kou Mansion's people are only allowed to leave, and Kou Ji is not allowed to leave, then there is no way to eliminate the influence and harm of the Kou Mansion's Prince on the Song Dynasty.

Because the foundation of all the honor and disgrace of Kou Mansion lies in Kou Ji.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "When I named Kou Mansion the king, I will oust the fourth brother's title. The fourth brother will also hand over the military power and be transferred to the same middle school.

People from Kou Mansion were not allowed to come back after they left the hinterland of Da Song. "

"Kou Shimi can agree?"

"I have discussed the transfer to Tongzhongshu a long time ago with the fourth brother, and there is no reason for the fourth brother not to agree."
