Chapter 779 Swords and Guns Are Men's Weapons
"Today, the official family wanted to hit me, but was interrupted by Chen An."
When he came out of the hall, Zeng Gongliang said with a headache: "The official's temperament is a bit unwilling tolerant! He originally agreed to disband the Divine Army, but when the situation changed later, he immediately left the Divine Army and used this as a reason to hit us... Han Xiang, the so-called respect for warriors, is more important to respect the official."
"The official family wants power." Han Qi looked at Chen An and Zhao Xu walking in front and smiled: "When the late emperor was there, we were strong, but the late emperor's temperament was a little weaker, and the king and his ministers were stronger. This is an unchanging truth, but the current official family is an emperor who is unwilling to lose power..."
"Yes!" Zeng Gongliang didn't know whether he should be happy or sad: "But the king had the attitude of the king of the king, Han Xiang, what do you think?"
"The king showed a lot of tenacity in this matter. Even if we oppose it, we will not retreat. The official will be restrained and refuse to admit his mistakes. This shows his toughness."
Han Qi said meaningfully: "The emperor is the emperor. Not long after the official ascends the throne, he will start to take back his rights. Everyone has a clear idea about this. Don't have a conflict, otherwise... don't forget that he refused to enter the palace at the beginning."
Zeng Gongliang nodded, pointed to the front and smiled, "It's so good to be young."
Chen An in front was also talking about this matter, "The official family has shown their power today. A wave of open and secret beatings made the prime ministers dizzy. They wanted to fight back but couldn't find a reason. It was so happy!"
After Zhao Shu ascended the throne, he was watching the people in the court and observing the nature and position of each minister. It was not until this time that a surprise attack occurred, which caught the prime ministers off guard.
Zhao Xu was a little depressed, "This matter is under the control of Zhizhu, but I became the introductory leader."
"You are determined to make a name for yourself, but you have to find an opportunity." Chen An didn't think that Zhao Xu had the strength to compete with his father now. "This time it was considered a father-son joint effort, and you have made contributions."
Zhao Xu thought about it, "But why are you there too?"
Chen An talked about the previous matter of entering the palace for advice, and also talked about the monarch and ministers in the brave army. Zhao Xu couldn't help but praise: "You are still flexible. But... do you think the Song army may be able to compete with the Liao army?"
"The attack is difficult." Chen An objectively explained the current comparison of the military forces between the Song and Liao countries, "but the defense is fine."
"Don't look down on this defense, no problem." Zhao Xu said: "The Song Dynasty spread water networks and paddy fields in the north, and even wanted to divert the Yellow River to resist the attack of the Liao people. Now the Song Dynasty can actually say that it blocks the Liao people. If you said this ten years ago, many people will regard you as a lunatic. But today, Brother Anbei, do you know what this is?"
"Of course I know." Chen An's eyebrows were filled with excitement. "This is the spirit of the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. In the past, they were afraid of the Liao people and were afraid of death, but now it's different."
"If the morale of the army is boosted after this matter, will Yelu Hongji be anxious?" Zhao Xu was looking forward to it, "I was thinking about when I could meet Yelu Hongji on the battlefield and then defeat him personally..."
If this wish is said, people will be called a madman, but Chen An said seriously: "There will be a day."
Zhao Xu stopped and let the cold wind blow over, feeling extremely happy. He said, "Brother Anbei, we will take twenty years to complete. In twenty years, may Youyan be restored?"
"You are underestimating yourself and the Song Dynasty." Chen An said, "If it takes twenty years to restore Youyan, then you are stupid when you take the risk to speak for the warriors! You are also looking forward to that day, the sooner the better, right?"
Zhao Xu nodded, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
...
Yelu Hongji, who had experienced a rebellion, seemed even more indifferent.
He was about to return from the grassland in the distance, with a smell of blood on his body, and no minister dared to look at him wherever he looked.
Is this majesty?
He was sad to find that his ministers were even more afraid of him.
What about the original one?
Originally, the ministers dared to learn from the previous Tang Dynasty to discuss the truth, but now they all lowered their heads, as if there was a ghost sitting on it.
But this is not bad!
Yelu Hongji nodded slightly and said, "Rebellion must be repented with blood. Now that they have repented, I will wait and see who dares to try whether my blade is sharp and who?"
At this moment, he felt that he was above the top, overlooking the subjects.
This is the emperor!
The Zhao Zhen, who was far away in the Song Dynasty, was a stupid person. He was bullied by his ministers and had nowhere to speak. He was really a coward.
However, when he thought of the death of Emperor Song, he still felt sad for a moment.
"His Majesty……"
A minister was delayed for a while and finally got out of work.
"I've been watching you for a long time, just waiting to see when you can procrastinate!
Yelu Hongji's indifference and dissatisfaction were overwhelmed by words, and the minister was trembling all over, as if he was frightened.
"say!"
Yelu Hongji spent a lot of time on the grassland trip. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "I used the Xixia people as bait to cut off the Linfu Road of the Song people in one fell swoop. Whose hands is in the hands of the Linfu Road? Are they from the Xixia people?"
The ministers' heads were even lower, as if something was pressing on their necks, overwhelming them.
Yelu Hongji felt cold in his heart and asked, "Who is the road of Linfu now?"
"Your Majesty, in the hands of the Song people."
In an instant, Yelu Hongji's face changed. He shouted loudly: "Are you confused? The heavy cavalry of the Great Liao Dynasty is invincible. Even if the Song people had swords and axes, there were light cavalry beside them to raid from the flanks, which made the Song people unable to defend themselves... How could they be defeated?"
The heavy cavalry is now a nuclear weapon. Whether it is the Liao people or the Xixia, their heavy cavalry is a strategic force. Once used, it will almost be a decisive battle.
This time, in order to eliminate Linfu Road and let the Xixia people face the Song people, Yelu Hongji sent a heavy cavalry, which was the greatest support and reliance.
But now he was told that the Liao Dynasty had failed.
The Song people changed their cautiousness in the past in recent years and gradually opened their fangs to the outside world, which made Yelu Hongji very uncomfortable. The Song people's several victories against the Xixia people made him dream at night about how to limit the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty was so rich. Once they really wanted to revive the army, the Liao Dynasty would have a difficult opponent.
Xixia is the opponent, but Yelu Hongji did not take them seriously.
As long as the Great Liao really wants to destroy the Western Xia, it will be a sacrificing power of the country, and Li Liangzuo has no room for resistance.
But there is a Song Dynasty next to you!
The checks and balances of the Three Kingdoms exchanged for peace, but Yelu Hongji found that the checks and balances were gradually shaken, and the cause was the Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, Song people... At that time, the people of Xixia had already led Zhe Jizu out. All our ambushing troops were out, and Zhe Jizu's retreat was cut off, forcing him to fight to the death..."
This is the idea of this battle, so Yelu Hongji was puzzled how he would fail.
"Jie Jizu was desperate, Chen An... Chen An came."
"So what?" Yelu Hongji sneered: "Can he still stop the heavy cavalry of the Great Liao? Whether it is the Battle of Gaoliang River or the Battle before the Chanyuan Alliance, the heavy cavalry of the Great Liao are all nightmares of the Song people!"
The Song people had few cavalry, and they were pitifully few. The only cavalry they had seemed like a joke to Yelu Hongji. Those low-class horses could not carry heavy armor, so the duel with the Great Liao heavy cavalry was naturally one-sided.
"Your Majesty... Then Chen An brought a weapon this time..."
The person who spoke was a military general, who Yelu Hongjiren recognized, and was the one who led the army.
"What weapon?"
There was more murderous intent in his eyes and then disappeared.
The general knelt down slowly and looked up and said, "Your Majesty, that weapon was thrown out with a trench machine, which is a pottery jar, but the pottery jar contains something unknown. Most of the things were blown up before they landed, and there were countless things inside, which caused heavy casualties to be killed or injured by our warriors..."
"What?"
Yelu Hongji was furious and shouted, "Take it out and behead it!"
"Your Majesty..." The general was stunned and shouted desperately: "Your Majesty, that's not my fault! That thing exploded when it landed, and the heavy armor could not stop it. Your Majesty! The heavy cavalry was shocked by the huge explosion, and the war horses were running around... But the Song people refused to stop, and the pots were still throwing, wave after wave, the heavy cavalry was blown away... "
"It's shameless to fight but make excuses!" Yelu Hongji clenched his fists and shouted, "Pull it out!"
"His Majesty……"
The general was dragged out, and his voice gradually disappeared and disappeared.
The ministers below were silent and knew that the emperor was not angry, but worried that the morale of the army would be hit, so he killed this person completely.
The rule of the Great Liao Dynasty was based on supreme martial arts. They defeated the strongest opponent in the region, Da Song, and looked around for a moment and were invincible again. He was indeed lonely.
But now the Song Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful, and it is even more bad news to defeat the heavy cavalry of the Liao Dynasty in this battle.
"What is that?"
Yelu Hongji's voice was a little hoarse, which was blown out by the wind from the grassland.
A minister came out and said, "Your Majesty, the secret spy then attacked and found out that what the Song people made was gunpowder..."
"Gunpowder?" Yelu Hongji covered his forehead and said, "But the firecrackers that the people were playing on New Year's Day?"
"That's right, but Your Majesty, the gunpowder in the pottery jar is different from the firecrackers, and its power cannot be compared. It's probably a world of difference."
"Tell me." Yelu Hongji was in a heavy mood.
"Later, I mobilized many secret spies to Bianliang and prepared to seize the secret recipe of gunpowder... Who knew that the Song people had prepared for it. It is said that the prince of the present personally took action and joined forces with Shen An to surround us and killed us... The acquisition failed."
"You need to get it!"
