Chapter 1,335 Attacking Zi’s Shield with Zi’s Spear

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Sitong Company has made great efforts in this matter, starting from last year's revelation that Yelu Yisun was reselling forbidden items of the Liao Dynasty and preparing gold armor privately, to persuading Yelu Yisun to flee this year, and finally in Suzhou, Liao Kingdom

He was captured and cooperated with the West on the East China Sea Island, but they all worked together perfectly."

Sun Gu looked at Zhao Xu suspiciously: "Could it be that someone from our court was involved in Yelu Yisun's defection? Your Majesty, it is not a kind way to encourage your subordinates to rebel against the country..."

"Huh? No, no..." Zhao Xu is a very show-off person, and now he feels aggrieved...

Such a perfect diplomatic espionage operation can truly be said to be a great achievement for those who are good at fighting. However, Su You repeatedly warned him that this was called a secret front and could not be announced verbally, especially not from the emperor's mouth.

Cai Jing hurriedly laughed: "I know this. Several merchants in Hebei suggested to Dou Shunqing that this method could be used to weaken the Liao Kingdom and reduce the threat to Hebei. It seems that Dou Shunqing agreed, but I guess he didn't expect this.

Things can really be done.”

"But it happened that Bingchang was imprisoned by his mother's party. Sun Gong, don't you think this is too coincidental? I can only say that even God is on my side, the Song Dynasty."

"Yes, that's right." Zhao Xu added another point to Cai Jing's heart: "It's really a coincidence, but for me, the Song Dynasty, this coincidence is a godsend."

Cai Jing changed the subject and chatted with the two of them: "The Xia Kingdom was so poor that they sent Wei Mingji, the commander-in-chief of the southwest capital, to write to the Duke of the Kingdom:

Yesterday, when the army was in full swing, Ti Ge fought against each other. Today, I asked Zhi about the letter. The letter was not the result of changes and twists and turns. It means that everyone is loyal to what they are doing, so it has to be the case.

In China, where rituals and music exist, where kindness and trust come from, and where actions and actions are carried out, they must be suitable for righteousness.

If he listens to false accusations, deceives his troops, invades other people's territory, and kills people and common people, this will be the behavior of China, and it will be ashamed of foreign countries.

Yesterday, the imperial court suddenly raised troops and invaded the country. Emperor Gai discussed with the officials at the border, saying that the Xia Kingdom should abide by its oath and should not be afraid of going out. They marched in five directions, so there was a battle in Lingzhou.

However, compared with winning or losing, it is not a sure thing.

The Xia Kingdom has a seal of thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of people with armor. I have Khotan in the west as my happy neighbor, and I have Liao in the north as my strong support. If I take advantage of the opportunity and fight with each other, how can I rest even if it is ten years?

That is to say, I thought that the innocent people were suffering from this misfortune. After the Lord of the country saw the attack, he thought about it day and night. He said that in the more than eighty years since his ancestors had been ministers to China, no tribute or tribute had been neglected, and no congratulations had been neglected.

However, the border officials are lucky and clever, and they are confused. The alliance between ancestors has been blocked, the monarch and his ministers are not in harmony, and the provincial government has lost its cause. What is wrong with it!

Ji Sui explored his idea, and dared to move Yin Han to serve as Duke Wei, and use his strategies to do Western things. If the people were benefited or ill, the clan's safety was in danger, he would have to say it in vain.

The worries of the Galu Kingdom did not occur in Zhuan Yu; the changes in the Sui Dynasty occurred in Yang Gan. These are all things Ming Gong understood in his mind, and need not be explained later.

Today, I am looking forward to it. I am a talented person. Why don't you, the Duke of the state, give your advice and ward off evil ideas, so that the court and the Xia Kingdom can be as happy as before, and the people can see peace again? This is not only the blessing of the Xia Kingdom, but also the blessing of the whole world."

Sun Gu praised: "Unexpectedly, Xia State has such literary talent! This article is very well written! How did the Duke of the State answer?"

Cai Jing was delighted: "The Duke had time to pay attention to him? He just forwarded the letter to Li Wenzhao and asked him to answer it on his behalf."

"Who is Li Wenzhao? After Xia Guofu Pinghou, he was a man of literary talent in his early years and served as a lecturer for Liang Zuo. Everyone has seen the thank you note he gave to His Majesty, which is no less than that of the bachelors of the country."

"So Li Wenzhao started writing and wrote a letter in which he scolded Wei Mingji. There were two sentences in it: "The power of God will not forgive, and it is appropriate to increase the power of the emperor. He is violent and domineering, and he obstructs the monarch and builds the party; he refuses to appoint officials, and he is loyal.

If you are jealous and don't listen, you will behave contrary to your benevolence and forget your country and yourself.'"

Sun Gu even forgot to stand in front of the emperor. He slapped the table and said with admiration: "Wonderful! These two sentences are enough to make the treacherous prime minister change his mind!"

The above sentence is a comment made by Zhang Gang, a famous official of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to the domineering general Liang Yi, a relative of his relatives. He compared the Liang family of the Xia Kingdom to the Liang family of the Eastern Han Dynasty who committed regicide.

The next sentence is Bai Juyi's evaluation of Zhang Yu, a minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor He, saying that in order to save his life, he did not dare to offend the Dou family group of the later party at that time, and he had no reputation. He used this to ridicule Wei Mingji.

The word "loyalty and brotherhood" also indicates that he has forgotten his ancestor's real name.

These two allusions are very cleverly chosen, and what a coincidence, Zhang Gang, the famous official who left the idiom "The jackal is in charge, ask the fox" for future generations, happened to be from Meishan.

This is why he secretly gave Su You a hand, which shows that Li Wenzhao has not lost his literary foundation even though he has been hiding in the countryside for decades.

Sun Gu was one of Zhao Xu's many teachers, and Zhao Xu also knew his temper and didn't care about it at all: "The Duke of Guo dealt with it easily. He used the Xia people's spear to attack the Xia people's shield, and he didn't even have to use any extra strength.

flower."

Cai Jing said: "The Duke may also be afraid."

Zhao Xu was a little surprised: "What are you afraid of?"

Cai Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Didn't the Duke of the State write a poem to Lieutenant Li on a whim after hearing about the recovery of Lanzhou? There is quite a discussion among the scholars now, thinking that the Duke's move has somewhat disgraced the scholar-bureaucrats.

of decency.”

Zhao Xu was a little angry: "Not even a lieutenant general who has made great achievements in the war?"

Sun Gu actually felt that something was wrong in his heart, but Zhao Xu's attitude made Su You's move more serious, and he quickly defended him: "The Su family has always been like this. Da Su has never donated poems.

No matter who the character is."

"When he was in Hangzhou, Da Su once met a woman in the West Lake. She was originally a prostitute, but she was now a commoner's wife. She said that she had admired Da Su for a long time, and had no way of seeing her. She was not afraid to present herself and sing a song before she left. Da Su was

Composed "Jiang Shenzi"."

"When I visited Duojinglou, I met an official prostitute playing the huqin with wonderful sounds and postures, so I wrote "Picking Mulberries"."

"Zhang Tianji of Yunlong Mountain was an ignorant villager. Da Su wrote "The Story of the Crane Fang Pavilion" to compare himself to the hermits of the past. People thought it was wrong, and Da Su laughed and said, 'Padding mats.'"

"Sicong, a painting monk and his ilk, and Da Su wrote "Send a Retelling of Poems and Hearings of Qiantang Cong"."

"Mishu, because he can eat honey, Da Su wrote "The Song of the Old Man Eating Honey in Anzhou"."

"So in my opinion, writing poetry is not difficult at all for the Su family. Many of them are just 'dressing up the mat'."

Cai Jing said with a smile: "Talk about the poem that the Duke gave to Lieutenant Li. There is a sentence: 'The spring is cold and clear, the moon is sitting on it, the mountain is deep and the flowers are falling.'

.”

Sun Gu also admired this couplet very much and said to Zhao Xu: "When the Western Affairs broke out, the old minister was the prime minister, and he was often worried, fearing that the border ministers would lose their plans and corrupt the state affairs. It was not until he saw this couplet that he thought about it.

Feel reassured.”

"One sentence can be clear and the other can be quiet. When you are flying and flying, you can still have such a peaceful and pure mind. It is indeed the best choice for Su You to be the commander-in-chief in this battle."

Zhao Xu sighed: "If you say this, he is very capable. In addition to military and civil affairs, he also has leisurely suggestions. He also has to write a report about the incident in Dali. He also recommended the northwest food and medicinal materials to me in the secret report... By the way,

Have you ever heard of Nostoc and Snow Lotus?"

Sun Gu and Cai Jing looked at each other in confusion: "This... forgive me and others for being ignorant..."

At this moment, Zhang Dun strode in with a telegram sheet: "The six routes have reported to the General Administration Department that the tactics of confusing the Xia people have been successful. Both Xia armies are hundreds of miles away, and the army suddenly The navy only took one day to seize Jing, Huai and Dingzhou, and surrounded Xingqing Mansion!"

Several people in the hall were overjoyed, and Zhao Xu stood up excitedly: "Great! Call Guo Dutong and Zhong Shidao to come, study the report, and explain it to us!"

…

Xingqing Mansion, Jingren Palace.

Empress Dowager Liang's face was anxious and crazy, and she sat weakly on the chair. Liang Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, scurrying back and forth in the hall in panic, and Qian Shun, who was only one year old, was so frightened that he cried loudly.

"Jingsi has misled the country! Now the army is hundreds of miles away, and the city is full of old and weak people. How can we come in time?"

History records that in her later years, the Empress Dowager Liang was "kind to illness and liked to take medicine." However, she cherished her grandson especially. "She only got Sun Qianshun in her later years. She loved him so much that she often bowed and hugged him."

Even when she was ill, Queen Mother Liang still kept Qianshun by her side and never left her.

The palace servants coaxed Qian Shun, and Empress Dowager Liang looked at the ministers in the palace with a nail-like gaze: "Tell me, what should happen now?"

Wei Mingji, the Minister of Rites and the Governor of the Southwest Capital, coughed lightly: "I don't know how the people of the Song Dynasty could transform two hundred giant ships overnight. All the previous arrangements have come to nothing."
