Chapter 113: Ping Liao Policy
Yang Yanzhao looked at it and said deeply: "Okay! Since that's the case, we will write a letter to the court immediately."
Guan Wei looked at Yang Yanzhao and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, if possible, please give it to Your Highness of the King of Chu! Don't blame me for being rude. I only received a merit for the official family, but I gave it to the King of Chu but I had an extra future!"
After hearing this, Yang Yanzhao was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
The Liao people returned from a great victory this time. Not only did they get a large population and property, but they greatly shocked the Song army; they almost wiped out the last bit of the elite Song army in the Song Dynasty, making the Song Dynasty lose the ability to attack north in a short period of time.
However, the Song Dynasty was filled with sorrow and there were documents asking for help everywhere. These documents flew to Bianliang, Kaifeng, like snowflakes.
Zhao Guangyi was now worried when he saw this document. He was shocked a few days ago, and he couldn't eat or sleep well! His ministers also quarreled together. Some people led by Zhao Yuanzuo believed that they should send troops to retaliate against the Liao Kingdom; the advocated by Prime Minister Zhao Pu and others to cultivate moral politics and defeat the troops without fighting; some were like the court official Song Qi proposed two strategies: digging the embankment on the north side of the Yellow River, allowing the Yellow River to flood, and setting up defenses with water; or imitating Qin Shihuang and building the Great Wall between Cangzhou and Dingzhou.
Of course, Song Qi's policy is a bit extreme, and it has been opposed by others and even Zhao Guangyi. You really dare to think about digging the Yellow River! No matter what, you are going to give most of the Hebei West Road to the Liao Kingdom! This is something that no one can accept!
Zhao Yuanzuo's opinion was too radical, and it was not acceptable to Zhao Guangyi, who had been scared by the Liao people; what Zhao Pu said was reasonable, but anyone would say that cultivation of virtue. Will the Liao people listen? They must be able to protect themselves!
Zhao Guangyi now faces countless bad news every day, and even posted it a little white, as if he had become a teenager all of a sudden.
"Official family, Liu Yanrang wrote a letter to apologize again!" The waiter handed over a letter.
Zhao Guangyi sighed and said, "Forget it! This time the fault is not Liu Yanrang, let him continue to deploy Yingzhou Metropolitan City! Now He Lingtu was killed, and he ordered Zhang Yongde to be the governor of Xiongzhou and the military capital. He ordered Li Jilong to return to Beijing, and asked the Secretariat to ask questions and convict according to the rules!"
"Yes!" The waiter was stunned and left quickly. This time Li Jilong was taken down and Zhang Yongde took office. The official family is preparing to launch the old ministers of the previous dynasty on a large scale!
The eunuch just came out, but saw Zhao Yuanzuo at the door. He was slightly stunned and said, "Your Highness is so late to see the official family?"
Zhao Yuanzuo nodded and said, "Yes, I have something to ask for an official to meet you. Please ask Wang Xingshou to report it."
Wang Xingshou talked about the eunuch, named Wang Jien. He was originally the eunuch of Zhao Kuangyin. After Zhao Kuangyin died, Empress Dowager He asked him to recruit Zhao Dezhao into the palace, but this kid turned around and found Zhao Guangyi. When Zhao Dezhao entered the palace, Zhao Guangyi had already succeeded to the throne. Therefore, it can be said that he was the person Zhao Guangyi trusted the most.
"Please wait! I'll report it!" Wang Ji'en also knew that the official family valued this highman very much and did not dare to neglect it, so he hurried in and reported it.
Zhao Guangyi was also a little unhappy at this time. Zhao Yuanzuo was clamoring for revenge on the Liao Kingdom every day, and it still looked a little tender! My country could not be entrusted to him like this!
"Let him come in!" Even though he said so, he was his own son after all, so Zhao Guangyi still announced him.
"Boy, pay homage to Daddy!" Zhao Yuanzuo knelt on the ground with a thud as soon as he came in.
"Get up! It's getting late now. Is there anything important thing about you when you come to see me?"
Zhao Yuanzuo stood up and said, "I'm here to congratulate my father!"
"Congratulations?" This incident made Zhao Guangyi a little unexpected. The court has become like this? Is there any happy event?
"Dad still remembers that Guan Wei?"
"Oh, is it Guan Wei from Guanwang Village? Didn't he go to Yichuan County to be the headmaster? Oh, Yichuan County is the first line of defense in the north. How is he doing now? Has he escaped?"
Zhao Yuanzuo smiled and said, "Dad really underestimated him this time. Not only did Guan Wei not escape, he also brought the local soldiers from Yichuan County to defeat the Liao soldiers; he killed tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, including the national uncle Xiangwen Taliege, and Xiao Neil, the number one warrior of the Liao Kingdom."
"Oh?" Zhao Guangyi became interested all of a sudden. He knew that He Lingtu had transferred all the Xiang army in Xiongzhou. He really couldn't figure it out just by relying on those local soldiers to kill tens of thousands of Liao soldiers!
Zhao Yuanzuo told Guan Wei's story in Yichuan County from beginning to end. Zhao Guangyi was surprised and said, "I have also heard of the case of rape and killing the demon. This evil thief spread across the 300 military states of the Song Dynasty and killed countless people. Unexpectedly, he actually cracked it!"
Zhao Yuanzuo was very happy to hear this: "This Guan Zizheng is not only a good candidate for trialing cases, but also not bad at all when fighting!" Then he told the offensive and defensive battle in Yichuan County.
"Okay! I really didn't expect that he still has this ability. Wasn't the county lieutenant killed this time? Let him be this county lieutenant!"
Zhao Yuanzuo was secretly funny. At first, he was a firm pro-war faction, but after receiving Guan Wei's letter, Guan Wei broke it apart and smashed it to him, and wrote a memorial of tens of thousands of words.
The above made a detailed comparison of the strength of Song and Liao, and concluded that the strength of the Song Dynasty is at a disadvantage now, and it is better to stop the army and make peace at this stage.
Of course, if Zhao Yuanzuo blindly persuades him to change his position, he might be labeled as a surrender faction by Zhao Yuanzuo and he will ignore him from now on.
Guan Wei then went to a ping Liao Ce, which detailed the story of a series of things such as the Great Wall of Water, economic aggression, and detailed arrangements.
According to Guan Wei, there will be a battle between the Song and Liao dynasties, but what we need to do now is to try to weaken the strength of the Liao Kingdom and strengthen our own strength. Wait for the right time to defeat the Liao Kingdom.
This Wanyan Book completely touched Zhao Yuanzuo, and he also accepted Guan Wei's point of view. After all, Zhao Yuanzuo was a young man and could not hide things in his heart. He hurried to meet his father.
Zhao Yuanzuo thought in his heart, wait for me to throw out the plan of the Great Water Wall and see how you can reward Guan Wei.
"Dad, Guan Wei also came up with a way to resist the Liao army. He and Yang Yanzhao, the inspector of the Fengbiandu, conducted a careful investigation and believed that this was feasible and effective."
"Ah--" Zhao Guangyi was really surprised. How many civil and military personnel in the court did not come up with a solution. Can Guan Wei come up with a solution?
"Your son, please tell me quickly!" Zhao Guangyi's urgent title changed.
Zhao Yuanzuo hurriedly said, "Dad, I have a small thing. Please allow me to bring it up. With this thing, this method is clear at a glance."
"Accurate! Take him up quickly!"
Zhao Yuanzuo gave an order, someone brought a square plate the size of a desk and placed it on the table.
"Dad, this is a sand table made by Guan Wei and Yang Yanzhao. It is made according to the border between Song and Liao. The high ones are mountains, the flat ones are ground, the white yarns in it are rivers, and these small pits are lakes."
Zhao Guangyi was an emperor who knew the military. When he saw this thing, he jumped up and circled around the table several times, making him amazed.
"This thing is really good! With its battlefield situation at a glance, I can formulate a more suitable battle formation. OK! OK! This sand table is a good thing! I have recorded this credit. What kind of attention do you think they have made to resist the Liao army?"
Zhao Yuanzuo stepped forward, grabbed a handful of white sand and said, "Dad, what they wanted was to dig canals, change the river channel, use the river channel, swamp, Hubo, and paddy fields to form a water Great Wall to block the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom.
If the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom is restricted, our infantry can use the river channel and quickly mobilize the waterway. At that time, the enemy and us will turn back, which may not make the Liao Kingdom suffer some losses."
Zhao Guangyi's eyes lit up. He came to the table, supported his hands on the table, and his body reached the top of the sand table.
"Okay! OK! OK!" Zhao Guangyi said three good words in a row, then straightened his body, laughed to the sky, venting the depression in his heart.
Zhao Yuanzuo stepped forward and said, "Dad, look at it, as long as these rivers are dug, we can add tens of thousands of acres of paddy fields. If we implement military camps, it is also possible, and at least we can make up for the losses of some countries."
"My son's words are just my wish! I'll put the sand table here first. I'll discuss with all the ministers tomorrow. You haven't lived in the palace for a long time. Don't leave today. Have a meal with the Empress. Our family will get together."
"Yes! I understand!" Zhao Yuanzuo breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that his opinion was adopted by his father, and his image in his father's heart was restored.
Queen Li has been worried these days, and the situation in the north is almost corrupt. Zhao Guangyi has always been worried. He can go to bed very late every night and is often awakened in his dreams. She is anxious but has no choice. Thanks to Shouwan, Zhao Yuankan often comes to comfort her, which makes her feel a little more at ease.
Before Zhao Guangyi came in today, she heard a hearty laughter outside.
"The official family laughed? Is something wrong? Who has such powerful magic that made the official family suddenly happy?" Queen Li was very surprised. She looked out and found that Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Yuanzuo and his son were walking in one after another.
It seems that the one who possesses this magical magic is King Zhao Yuanzuo!
"Why is the official family so happy today?" Empress Li took Zhao Yuankan forward to salute.
