The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 558 The Conspiracy of King Zhao
Of course, it wasn't just Bie Bai who escaped back.

Kong Youde, who had taken refuge in Nurhachi, had already returned to the camp under the protection of his guards, and was sitting on his seat drinking tea at the moment!

Biebai looked at Kong Youde, who was still regarded as the honored guest by Nurhachi at this moment, and felt uneasy. This person was only using his tongue, and talked a lot of nonsense before the battle. He made himself think that Yu Yanyi had no ambush , to be honest, at least one-third of the responsibility for this big defeat is his!
When Biebai complained, Kong Youde was also thinking, he had just joined Nurhachi's command, his foundation was not stable, and he just needed to make friends with Nurhachi's important ministers.

Although this turtle worship may look a little stupid, but its force is extraordinary, and it has won the trust of Nurha Chi.

After such a big defeat, Nurhachi's board was held up high and put down gently, which shows that this person holds a very important position in Nurhachi's heart.

Regardless of Kong Youde's ability and intelligence for the time being, his ability to observe words and emotions is absolutely amazing.

Observing the expressions and movements of the two of them, he made a rough guess about Nurha Chi's psychology.

Therefore, Kong Youde, who was silent all the time, stepped forward and said, "My lord, the blame for this defeat does not lie solely with the general. The villain failed to see through Yu Yanyi's trick, and was swayed by him with his familiar location. An ambush has been set up. Please punish the prince and the villain together!"

Originally, Biebai was still complaining about Kong Youde, but now that Kong Youde said it, Biebai, who was still despising Kong Youde in his heart, was very moved.

Think about it in your own shoes, if Kong Youde is the one who is unlucky and you are the one watching the show, you will definitely not stand up and ask for a share of the blame.

Kong Youde's move also gave Nurhachi a good step. He didn't want to punish Jiebai in the first place.

Although Biebai suffered a defeat, his prestige is still there, and he is still the number one of the Eight Banners, Batulu.

When Kong Youde said this, Nurhachi naturally forgave and bowed.

"Mr. Kong, please stand up!"

Nurha stepped forward to help Kong Youde who was kneeling on the ground.

Although at this moment Houjin has occupied most of Youzhou, Jizhou, and a small half of Bingzhou.

But conquering the world is easy, but governing the world is not easy.

Originally, Houjin only had Jianzhou. Although the area was not small, it had a small population and a small number of cities. Relying on the officials of Houjin, coupled with the unsuccessful scholars of Dazhou, it was barely able to govern.

But after entering the Central Plains, the problem was discovered.

The manpower to manage counties and counties is far from enough. Although there are many scholars who come to seek refuge, Nurhachi also knows in his heart that most of these people are candidates who failed the imperial examination, or are poor and excluded from poor families. .

That's why we cherish the opportunity to get ahead.

But these people cannot represent the mainstream literati in the Central Plains.

Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the Mohist school is hidden from the world, the Strategist school has little soil for survival, and the Taoist school doesn't care about world affairs.

Among the mainstream officials, Confucianism and Legalism are still the main ones.

Especially the children of Confucianism, who value etiquette and law, look down on foreigners outside China.

Therefore, it is difficult to get support for a background like Nurha Tooth.

At this time, Qizhou Confucian Mansion played a key role.

The master is the teacher of all ages, and the master said it is the law of the world.

Confucius not only has a high status in Confucianism, but also in other schools.

If he could get the support of the Confucian government, then Nurhachi would be able to get the loyalty of more officials.

Nurhachi needs enough prestige and reputation, and officials in the world who want to work for other races need a higher level.

So the irreplaceability of Confucianism is reflected.

No matter who is competing in the world, they all need the support of the Confucian government in the end.

That's why the Northern Sect of the Confucian family allowed Kong Youde to join the Later Jin Army as a representative of the Confucian family.

The prestige and legacy of Kong Sheng destined the Kong family to be a fool.

Although it violates the character of Confucianism, those who have character either died in the foreign invasion a hundred years ago, or were unwilling to serve the foreign race, so they went south to Quzhou and established the Southern School of the Confucian family.

In the 19th year of Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Daqian issued an imperial edict for investigation, and determined that Kong Zhu, the sage of Southern Zongyan at that time, was the orthodox saint, so he ordered Kong Zhu to enter the court and ordered him to return to Qufu.

However, Kong Zhu, the leader of the Southern Sect, was unwilling to work for a foreign race. He refused to resign the title on the grounds that "the tomb of the ancestral temple is in Qu".Later Confucianism succeeded to Fengyan Shenggong, which ended the embarrassing situation of the two publics, but the northern and southern sects still enshrined their own family temples and passed them down from generation to generation.

After Taizu conquered the world, he wanted to let Nanzong return to the north.

However, Nanzong had resigned from the title for many years and was unwilling to accept the title of Duke Yansheng, so Taizu gave up.

From the northern sect of the Confucian mansion to the orthodox Confucian saint.

So after getting the allegiance of Kong Youde, Nurhachi was very excited.

This means that he has been half-approved by the Confucian government. As long as he can gain a firm foothold in the three northern states, more people will come to serve him.

This means that he is completely qualified to wrestle with Da Zhou!
Helping the two people on the ground, Nurha said, "After all, Yu Yanyi is a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall and a genius in the world. He has no intentions and intentions. It is reasonable for you to lose the battle. This small defeat is not a big deal. Totally bad."

Nurha said, "Ever since we defeated the Longwu Army and the Yulin Army in the Tumu Fortress, there has been a very bad atmosphere in the army, that is, contempt for the Zhou army. The short-term victory made them forget that Zhou The terror of the army!"

Of course, in the Battle of Yaoerling, someone revealed the marching route of Zhou Jun's coach, General Zhao Xuanli of the Longwu Army, so Nurhachi was able to ambush on Yaoerling in advance.

It was also because of the strong bow and crossbow given by others that he could completely kill the leader of the Longwu Army.

The same is true for the battle of Tumubao!
Most people in Houjin were convinced by Nurhachi because he destroyed the two main forces of the Zhou army, the Longwu Army and the Yulin Army, in two battles.

Even Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Chen, the gods of war in the hearts of the Mohe people in Jianzhou, could not do this.

That's why Nurhachi was able to maintain his position after seizing power.

But he is more vigilant than anyone else about Zhou Jun's real combat power.

"Mr. Kong, this king is good at riding and fighting, but not in siege battles. I still need you to plan for me a lot!"

Kong Youde smiled and nodded, but he was complaining in his heart. He is a scholar, what kind of siege warfare does he know!
But this person is quick-witted and has an idea immediately.

"My lord, don't worry! Although you are good at riding and fighting, there are people who can attack the city!"

Nurhachi is not a fool, he understood Kong Youde's meaning after a moment of surprise.

There are righteous men who are loyal to the country, and there will naturally be traitors who are pioneers of thieves!
The Mohe people are not good at siege. In comparison, these Zhou people who took refuge in Nurhachi are naturally more suitable for siege battles.

Among them, the county soldiers of several counties, under the leadership of the guards, surrendered to the Mohe people collectively.

These people are naturally better at attacking the city than the soldiers and horses under Nurha Chi.

"Mr. Kong is really talented. This king will order them to build the equipment for the siege, prepare their horses and soldiers, and give them a chance to serve the new dynasty."

This is the art of language. It is obviously to let them rush to the front as cannon fodder. When it comes to the mouth of the superior, it becomes an opportunity to serve the new dynasty, and it becomes Nurha Chi's trust in them!

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of wild laughter from inside the tent.
-
Yancheng.

Zhao Wangfu.

"Where is Nurha Chi now!?"

Zhao Wang Zhu Kai, who was supposed to be seriously injured, is currently practicing swords in the courtyard while asking his cronies.

"Go back to the prince! Now the prefectures of Jizhou have completely fallen into the hands of Nurhachi. At this moment, Nurhachi is gathering an army to march towards Jinyang City."

"Yu Yanyi has established a line of defense in Jinyang!" Zhu Kai asked casually.

"Exactly! Yu Dashi transferred the Beicao Army and Beiman Army from Jingchu and Chuzhou to Jinyang, gathered 18 broken soldiers who escaped from Tumubao, and transferred [-] Shenwu troops from Yueyang and Yangzhou. There are [-] elite soldiers in total.”

"18!? This Yu Yanyi is really a talent. When I met him back then, he was just a small governor of Bingzhou. Now he is a bachelor of Wuyingdian and Minister of the Ministry of War. If there is no such person, the current Maybe Zhou Ting is doomed! Respectable! Hateful!"

"Amitabha, you don't need to worry about your lord! Although Yu Yanyi's attack caused our plan to deviate, but the lord is the one who benefits from this matter!"

King Zhao's chief counselor, Monk Duyan in black, comforted him.

The original plan of King Zhao and Du Yan was for Nurhachi to enter the northern border. Zhou Ting did not dare to fight with the loss of troops, and there is a high probability that the center would withdraw southward and return to the old capital Jinling.

On the contrary, Zhao Wang's party members in Beijing will also contribute to the flames and promote the difficult withdrawal of the imperial court.

Once this goal is achieved, the court's prestige in the North will be greatly reduced.

And Zhao Wang can also take this opportunity to recover the lost land and occupy the northern border in a legitimate way. At this point, he can face the southern court far away and fight against the court.

And Emperor Zhou's health is not good at the moment, and the road to the south is bumpy. If he dies unfortunately, how will the new emperor resist him? !

Everything was going well at first, and one of Zhao Wang's secret sons, Xu Yu also used the theory of astrology to take advantage of the situation and proposed the matter of moving south.

It's a pity that Yu Yanyi stopped him before he got affirmation, and also relieved Xu Xuan from his post and expelled him from the court.

You know, Xu Zhen is an important pawn.

Although this person's official position is not high, he is in charge of the affairs of Qin Tianjian.

Afterwards, Yu Yanyi established a defense line in Jinyang, and confronted Hou Jincheng!
It completely disrupted King Zhao's original plan.

However, King Zhao did not lose his profits. Although the Zhou army suffered heavy casualties in this civil fort defeat, the number of casualties was several times higher.

King Zhao, who occupied several counties in Youzhou, gathered nearly [-] defeated soldiers.

After the Tumu Fortress was defeated, the rout was like headless chickens.

The Mohe people's cavalry was fast, and many of them chose to go to the nearest city of King Zhao to seek shelter and continue to fight against Houjin.

And Zhao Wang Zhu Kai also took advantage of the situation to gather a lot of defeated soldiers. Originally, Zhao Wang's guards, private soldiers and the Zhou soldiers under his control were only about 13 people. The king's power doubled.

Zhao Wang broke up these soldiers and horses and reorganized them. He only needs to slowly digest them, and he can completely control these people.

"Master, in the current situation, the plan will come out!?"

The king of Zhao asked about Du Yan, the monk who wanted to give himself a white hat.

From the very beginning, King Zhao knew the reason why the Buddhist sect headed by Du Yan assisted him.

Taoism is the state religion of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Zhang Sanfeng, the contemporary Zhenwu Daozun, dominates the world.

In such a situation, Buddhism has no way to counter Daomen at all.

The three martial arts and one sect's method of destroying Buddhism has suppressed Buddhism so severely that they have not slowed down until now.

I need the supreme ninety-five position, and Buddhism needs a supreme to support Buddhism and suppress Taoism.

The two sides hit it off and were simply natural allies.

And Shaolin, the ancestral court of Zen, sent this eminent monk of the "Du" generation to assist King Zhao.

Originally, King Zhao was just being polite in a symbolic way, but after getting in touch with him, he realized that this monk had millions of strategies in his chest, so he took him as his chief adviser.

Du Yan lowered his brows and said slowly in an old voice, "Your Highness, I have three strategies to deal with the current situation."

This is an old problem of strategists, and most strategists with a certain level like to play this trick.

First, because the current situation is complicated, there cannot be only one strategy to deal with it. The counselor proposed three strategies of "up, middle and down", which can exhaust all possibilities.

The second is related to the positioning of counselors.

A counselor lies in "conspiracy" rather than "decision", and the final decision-making power is still in the hands of the lord.

Of course, counselors use "upper, middle and lower" to distinguish between different strategies, so as to show their own inclinations, and they can hand over the decision-making power to the top without taking the risk of unfavorable choices.

"Master, please speak!"

"The worst strategy is to raise troops at this moment and join forces with Houjin. In the future, with Jin's strength and His Highness's army, even if Jinyang City is in Yanyi, the probability of attacking Jinyang within one month is about [-]%. After conquering Jinyang, they will be able to attack Gyeonggi and destroy the center of the imperial court. At that time, His Highness can turn around and deal with Nurhachi!"

"However, with this strategy, the factors of the Tiance Army in the northern border are unstable, and if they join forces with Houjin Mohe to attack the king's division, they will definitely be despised by the world, and His Highness's reputation will be rotten!"

"What about the middle strategy?!"

"The best strategy is to stand still and watch the tigers fight! Your Highness can take this opportunity to train soldiers and horses and build weapons. No matter who wins between Yu Yanyi and Nurhachi, His Highness can send troops to attack Nur from the rear." Hachi. If Nurhachi wins, His Highness will be able to break through the enemy chieftains and regain the lost ground. At that time, he will be able to enter the capital with a big victory. With the prestige of defeating Jin and turning the tide, His Highness will at least Seventy percent sure."

"And if Yu Yanyi wins, His Highness can also send troops to show the loyalty of His Highness to the people of the world. For the loyalty of the imperial court, with such military exploits, even if the imperial court is afraid of His Highness, they dare not act rashly. They can also take advantage of the opportunity! For example, Mohe Your slaves, war horses! After the battle, you can ask for some rewards from the imperial court!"

Hearing the middle strategy, King Zhao and Zhu Kai were quite moved. This strategy coincides with him, but why is this strategy only the middle strategy? !
Immediately, King Zhao asked, "Then what is the best policy?!"

"Send troops to build the state, take advantage of the fact that the main force of Mohe is gathering in Bingzhou, sweep the holes in Liting, and subdue all the tribes!"
