Chapter 221 Banquet (6)

Song Jiu took the time to read the history books again when he went home. When he fought against the Northern Han, he could not avoid encountering the Khitan cavalry. In the past life, many people used cavalry to be tanks for infantry in the era of cold weapons. But even tanks had ways to deal with them. He specifically looked for war scenes in history books, and actually saw many war examples, and even saw Zhuge Liang defeating the Wei cavalry with infantry. It cannot be said that the Wei cavalry was not powerful. Cao Cao had a strategy first, not only north and south, but first west and south. The Hu people in the north and Qiang people in the west were all defeated by Cao Cao, no matter who the Hu people were commanded by the Qiang people.

I also saw that the Great Heavenly King Ran Min also had records of infantry breaking cavalry many times. If the Eastern Jin Dynasty had short-sightedness and Xianbei Murong suddenly joined, maybe let King Ran achieve his goal.

Not only Mo Dao, but there must be no Mo Dao before.

However, if we concentrate these battle examples, he saw that the most important one is inseparable from three types: one cart, two shields, and three crossbows. Among them, the most important one is that infantry and cavalry will use chariots, including the Queyue Formation and Pei Xingjian's grain chariots and ambushers. It does not necessarily require special large chariots. Ordinary supplies, food and grass chariots can be used. Use chariots to force the war horses to stop or slow down, and cannot rush. Use shields to block the enemy's cavalry's bow and shooting. Under the cover of the shield, use chariots to counterattack the enemy with a bow and crossbow. When the enemy cavalry cannot run, they are frustrated and their morale is low and they quickly come out from behind the chariot. A great victory comes.

It's still very difficult in reality.

Song Jiu didn't understand military affairs, but he could imagine it. First of all, time. If you set up a car in advance, you can rush, and if you can rush, you can't rush to trap you. Could it be that if you use a car to block for ten days and a month, if you are a little careless, the three armies gather. rush immediately, unless the Xiongnu Chanyu made Li Ling's eyes red. No matter what kind of car you are, I will rush.

It cannot be too late. Once it is too late, it is too late to lay the car in front to form a defense line, so that the enemy cavalry can rush into the formation, and it will be defeated. This means that you need to pay attention to the scouts, and it is also difficult to scouts. If the physical safety of the scouts can be guaranteed, but there is no time to notify them. If the cavalry is destined, the target will be too large. He is running, and the enemy will definitely find out and will send people to chase them. Moreover, there are few people in the wild now and the terrain is complex. How many scouts do you have to send to ensure that the enemy soldiers can get the news as soon as they arrive?

Finally, there is a battle, which means that the enemy cavalry slows down and the power of the war horses to rush down is weakened, one is on the horse and the other is under the horse. The infantry still has a disadvantage, and not only wins, but also wins big or small. The enemy is a cavalry, retreats in time and takes advantage of the speed advantage to retreat to the distance. After a little rest, you can make a comeback.

After all, there are still six words, the wise generals and brave soldiers are brave.

These six words are too difficult.

Song Jiu didn't care too much. The Khitans were not stupid either. At this time, the Song army was not easy to chew. They were afraid of Chai Rong's killing. After the founding of the Song Dynasty, there were also battles, such as the Battle of Song and Liao in the second year of Qiande. The Song Dynasty attacked Liaozhou in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Khitan sent the King of the Southern Court Yelu Dali to support him. Li Jixun, Luo Yanqin, Guo Jin, and Cao Bin also led 60,000 Song troops, with the same number, Xiaomi and rifles against tanks, and fought at the city of Liaozhou, and the Khitan was defeated.

Song Jiu heard another statement. Because of Yuping, Song Jiu talked with the smuggling merchants. The truth they heard from the Khitans was different. It was not that the Khitans came to help, but that the Northern Han tricked the Khitans into sending troops and defeated Wang Jixun's troops in Shizhou.

Song Jiu felt strange at first, why the two results were different, one was aid and the other was temptation. He was not good at military affairs, geography, and hikers were still called donkeys. So he immediately realized that Yelu Dali was lying. Because there was still a Fenzhou between Liaozhou and Shizhou. Strictly speaking, Shizhou was still in the western part of Taiyuan, and was at least 500 miles away from Liaozhou. Zhao Kuangyin didn't even want to take Taiyuan. Why did Li Jixun run to Shizhou? Maybe Yelu Dali was killed by Li Jixun and could not pass the office. After fleeing to Shizhou, he killed many people in the Northern Han Dynasty and used their heads to escape from crimes. However, this defeat made Khitan regret it, so he took his anger on the Northern Han Dynasty, saying that the Northern Han Dynasty was tempting them to send troops.

Therefore, he watched the Song Dynasty calmly recover the Southern Han and Southern Tang Dynasty and complete the unification.

The drama begins.

Before Li Jixun's army was released, Liu Jun died, Guo Wuwei made up his mind and sent the letter to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty gathered military affairs and prepared food, supplies and weapons. For a while, too many things were enough to happen. And Guo Wuwei also needed this time because he could not persuade Liu Jien unless another person came to power...

In everything, Guo Wuwei did not want to move first, so he did two things. First, the guards' personal army envoy Wei Jin, who was always incompatible with Guo Wuwei. This person could not be in Taiyuan. He used Liu Jun's power to entrust his or her orphans to transfer Wei Jin to Daizhou to defend the Khitan. Then he transferred Liu Jun's other adopted son Liu Jizhong to guard Xinzhou. Liu Jizhong was unwilling to find Liu Jien and said that he had suffered from cold and had a chronic disease because he had been on a mission to Khitan in winter. Xinzhou was cold and willing to stay and raise Jinyang.

At this time, Liu Jien still dared not touch Guo Wuwei. This person was too powerful and had deep roots. In front of Guo Wuwei, he was just a rookie. So he scolded Liu Jizhong and scolded him fiercely. Liu Jizhong hanged himself in shame and anger. After hearing this, Liu Jien was sad and angry. He had a good relationship with Liu Jizhong, but he still did not show any expression. Instead, he sent an envoy to sue the Khitan. Only in the next month, the envoy came back and Xu Zhi succeeded to the throne. Only with the consent of the Khitan, could he, the emperor, be justified.

But there is a problem in this. Since Guo Wuwei temporarily manages government affairs, why should he be so anxious? From Taiyuan to Khitan, he can find the Liao emperor in Xia Nabo, and he must arrive in Zhongjing. What speed can he do to travel back and forth in the next month, and he also has to pay a visit to the Liao emperor and explain the matter clearly. Wouldn't he tell Guo Wuwei, am I not worried about you? He told Guo Wuwei, but his subordinates.

Many close friends advised Liu Jien to take action as soon as possible, including Hou Barong...

With the approval of the Khitan, Liu Jien took the first step. He carefully appointed Guo Wuwei as Sikong, demoted him in name only, and tried to undermine Guo Wuwei. Just like Cao Shuang wanted to kill Sima Yi, can he be killed? Guo Wuwei was far inferior to Sima Yi, but Liu Jien was even worse than Cao Shuang. Otherwise, Liu Jun would not say that he was not a talent for helping the world. Therefore, Guo Wuwei was undermined in his position, but Liu Jien found that the regime was still undermined by Guo Wuwei.

September is coming and the weather is getting cooler.

In this depressing atmosphere, Liu Jien found Empress Dowager Guo and said, "Guo Wuwei dominated the government. My son thought he wanted to learn from Sima Yi and Wang Mang. His plan was not weird, so he planned to set up a banquet in the name of a banquet. He summoned the ministers and the sons of the clan to come to the banquet, and hid the tiger men outside the hall and killed this villain."

"When your father was there, the Ai family advised you that Guo Wuwei should not be used, and your father would not listen, and even today. But En'er, you must be careful."

"My son has already made arrangements, please rest assured, my mother."

"The country was originally blocked. This hero came out again, and there was a big disaster," Queen Guo sighed. The autumn wind blew, and the red curtain shaking the solemn dark red in the sigh, as if it was condensed blood.

After obtaining the approval of the Khitan, Liu Jien officially succeeded the throne. In order to relieve Guo Wuwei, he was careless. He was responsible for the Qinzheng Hall, and his confidants were all from the Taiyuan Prefecture. They stayed in the Taiyuan Prefecture Party together, and there was no general summoning them to the inner palace to guard them. Then they promoted the civil and military people. They were promoted to the title, so they had to hold a banquet to entertain them.

Ministers and sons came one after another.

It was dusk.

Before Guo Wuwei arrived, he went to a secret place. Liu Jiyuan's mansion, Liu Jiyuan was reading the Diamond Sutra. Guo Wuwei said, "Criminal. You believe in Buddhism, I believe in Buddhism. But at this time, the God and Buddha may not be able to bless us."

"What does Mr. Guo mean?" Liu Jiyuan put down the scriptures and asked. The relationship between the two was not bad, and Liu Jiyuan asked casually.

Stupid pig, Guo Wuwei cursed in his heart. But the stupider Liu Jiyuan is, the more successful he will be. Without showing his face, he continued to say calmly: "Criminal, as soon as His Majesty takes power, he will immediately call me Sikong. Do you know what will happen next?"

"I don't know," Liu Jiyuan said blankly.

"Only death. The old minister is loyal to the country, why does Your Majesty want to take the old minister to death?"

“Why?”

"Because the old minister has a good relationship with the prince, and the queen mother and his majesty hate the prince deeply. If the old minister is alive and the prince is safe and sound, if the old minister is not here, the prince will not have a good end."

"Mr. Guo saves me."

"Don't worry, the old minister not only wants to save you, but also wants to help you to the throne. Please prepare for the prince."

"The throne?" Liu Jiyuan said dumbly.

"It's the throne, the prince, the old minister is leaving. There is still a big show tonight." Guo Wuwei stood up and left Liu Jiyuan's mansion and came to his home. He secretly summoned Hui Lin and said, "General Hui, if he wins the Song Dynasty into Han, he must sacrifice."

"Yes, although the Northern Han Dynasty is poor, there is Khitan support behind it. How can it be possible without sacrifice?"

"General Hui, I don't have to make much sacrifice. I just want to sacrifice myself."

"who?"

"Hou Barong!"

The sun is setting, and the ministers and sons in the Taiyuan Palace are still waiting for it. The eunuch comes back and reports: "Grandpa Guo said he will arrive soon, please forgive me."

After hearing this, Liu Jien breathed a sigh of relief and the night banquet began. The minister toasted, and Liu Jien was a little drunk for a while, but he must not eat too much wine tonight, and of course he could not leave the banquet. He had to wait for Guo Wuwei to come. So he said to the ministers: "You guys, I'll take a nap in the backroom for a while. You can drink as much as you want and wait for Sikong by the way."

He was resting in the book hall behind the banquet hall. The people sitting there did not expect that, and this was a banquet to celebrate Liu Jien's in charge of power. Without Guo Wuwei, he continued to drink and have fun. In fact, Liu Jien had no rest at all. He leaned on the couch in the palace and looked at the dark night sky outside, his mind was rolling and stirring, thinking about the funeral handling of killing Guo Wuwei. Suddenly, Hou Barong and more than a dozen subordinates broke in with full arms. Liu Jien asked strangely: "General Hou, aren't you lying outside in ambush? Why are you here?"

Hou Barong did not answer, and waved his hand, and more than a dozen guards quickly closed the gate of the book hall. He pulled out his sword and rushed towards Liu Jien. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Jien quickly stood up, used the screen of the book hall to avoid it, and shouted.

Guo Wuwei arrived. Some were his confidant subordinates, and some were his political enemies. But this was a wedding banquet and it was not easy to express, so he greeted them one by one. Guo Wuwei asked, "Where is your Majesty."

"Your Majesty is resting behind."

"Old minister, go see him," Before Guo Wuwei finished speaking, the guards outside hurriedly rushed in and said, "The big thing is not good. Hou Barong closed the door of the Book Hall and assassinated Your Majesty inside. The subordinates couldn't open the door. You can go and save Your Majesty quickly."

"Everyone, follow me." Guo Wuwei shouted. When he came to the back, many guards were pushing the door, but this was the palace gate. Even the palace was made of copper and iron. No matter how hard it was to push it open. Or if you go to find the bumper, there would be no hurry. At this time, Guo Wuwei heard Liu Jien shouting like a pig slaughtering sound from inside. He was running inside, but Hou Barong brought a dozen people in, blocking him for a while. Hou Barong stabbed him hard into his chest with a knife.

"You..." Liu Jien screamed in pain and pointed his finger at Hou Barong again. He still couldn't figure it out before he died. Among the many people who advised him to kill Guo Wuwei, there was Hou Barong! Guo Wuwei said outside: "Use a ladder to climb the roof, lift the tiles and jump down, and kill the rebels together!"

The guards were in chaos just now, but this time it was very fast, especially Huilin, who quickly moved the ladder to let his subordinates climb to the top of the palace. It is difficult for anyone to think of the difference between them without peeling off the truth one by one.
