Qian Song

Chapter 268 It's Time for Li Cun to Enjoy (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
...

Li Cun's cunning and cunning calculations are formed through the accumulation of two lifetimes, especially the tempering of the information explosion in the previous lifetime.

Facts have proved that Zhao Ji and the ministers of Zhao Song Dynasty in Zhao Ji's era are not Li Cun's opponents, and the worse Zhao Huan and Zhao Song Dynasty's ministers in Zhao Huan's era are not Li Cun's opponents.

In the multiple contests in military affairs, politics, diplomacy, economy, and people's livelihood, Li Cunquan crushed the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty, whether it was in the Zhao Ji era or the Zhao Huan era.

In fact, Li Cun has already achieved the achievement of overthrowing the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

It's just that Li Cun was unwilling to face the dying counterattack of the 300 million soldiers and civilians of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, so he patiently played with Zhao Huan and his ministers for a few more days.

Moreover, some of the methods used by the Jin people in history to completely defeat Zhao Huan and his ministers are worth learning from Li Cun.

After all, overthrowing the Zhao Song Dynasty does not mean that Li Cun won the final victory.

Don't forget, Zhao Gou still ran away, and in the Central Plains, including Hebei, Hedong, Shandong and other places, there were a large number of bandits and rebels moving around, all of which had to be dealt with by Li Cun.

In addition, the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is still under the control of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and Li Cun had to send troops to recover it.

In this case, of course Li Cun had to cherish his own strength.

You know, Zhao Song Dynasty's counterattack will not take too long to come one after another.

Therefore, if you can take down the crucial Bianliang City in Tokyo without bloodshed, and wipe out the royal family and clan of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, why would Li Cun not do it?

Sun Tzu said: Go up to the army and attack the plan.

This is the highest state of military use.

……

At dawn this day, the rare heavy snow that had lasted for more than 20 days finally stopped.

But then, a round of blood-red sun suddenly burst out from the east.

Such a monstrous sunrise made the people in Bianliang City of Tokyo feel very frightened.

——Some people say that this bloody sun is a symbol of killing.

The people in Bianliang City in Tokyo became panic because of this, for fear that Li Cun would massacre the city.

Human cognition of the universe may only be about [-]%, and there are too many things beyond human cognition.

Moreover, many eminent scientists, in their later years, came to believe in theology.

Therefore, Li Cun, who has not reached that level, somewhat believes that the end of science is philosophy, and the end of philosophy is theology.

Furthermore, Li Cun was also a Taoist priest after all, so he knew some unusual things about Taoism.

Therefore, Li Cun still respects Taoist priests very much.

However, Li Cun does not reject beliefs of other religions.

——Li Cun always feels that there is a reason for existence, and he can't completely deny the things that have been passed down for thousands of years just because he doesn't understand.

By the way, Li Cun is actually a person without faith.

These seem contradictory.

But Li Cun is not entangled at all.

Just like Li Cun's attitude towards women, Li Cun likes lolita, young women, and the temptation of status. If he is capable, he will be fine with all of them.

It seems to be far away.

Things are like this.

Zhao Huan believed in Buddhism and did not believe in Buddhism. Therefore, since Zhao Huan became the emperor, all the Taoist priests who had surrounded Zhao Ji lost their power and left the Zixiao Palace that Zhao Ji built for them one after another.

And Li Cun himself was born as a Taoist priest, and he has been practicing Taoist health-preserving skills.

Therefore, the Taoist priests who were around Zhao Ji before came to Li Cun through various channels one after another.

For example, Wang Yuncheng, Xu Zhichang, Dong Nanyun, Li Derou, Wang Chongdao, Shao Ruoyu, Wang Wenqing, and Zhang Xubai who successfully predicted that Zhao Ji would accompany Yelu Yanxi.

After these Taoist priests came to Li Cun, in addition to teaching Li Cun more advanced Taoist health-preserving techniques and kung fu, they would also help Li Cun explain and deal with special astronomical and metaphysical problems.

After all, this era is a feudal era, and it is impossible for Li Cun to force all people in this era to become materialists at once.

What's more, Li Cun really couldn't explain some mysterious questions.

Therefore, the existence of professionals like Zhang Xubai is very necessary.

——As long as Li Cun is not obsessed and fantasizes about cultivating immortality and longevity, it is fine. There is no need to avoid being like a snake. The key is that Taoist health-preserving techniques and health-preserving skills are really effective. If Li Cun doesn’t practice these things frequently, he will How to play, the body is already finished, and may not even live to be 40 years old.

Now that the blood day appeared, Li Cun didn't know how to explain this phenomenon, let alone deal with it, so Li Cun simply handed over the matter to Zhang Xubai and other professionals to answer and solve it.

Of course, Li Cun first issued an imperial decree, expressing that he was also a Han Chinese, so he would not easily wash the city in the city of the Han people. Moreover, Li Cun also stated in the imperial decree that after the major issues between the Qian and Song Dynasties are resolved, , the gates of the city will be fully opened, allowing the public to freely enter and exit Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Under the explanation and solution of Zhang Xubai, the well-known Taoist priests of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and the endorsement of Li Cun's imperial decree, the soldiers and civilians in the outer city quickly settled down.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the inner city, Zhao Huan also ordered the opening of the Suzaku Gate, the south gate of the inner city, to allow the people in the inner city to enter and exit freely.

Who would have thought that the residents of the inner city, who had already seen the gap between the inner city and the outer city, rushed out after the Suzaku Gate suddenly opened.

Before Zhao Huan made this decision, he did not inform the Daqian Dynasty.

This made the soldiers on the city wall and the soldiers patrolling in the city all frightened by this scene.

As a result, within a very short period of time, [-] cavalry rushed directly to the city wall from outside the city, and artillerymen, crossbowmen, and spearmen were also fully armed and immediately put in place, paying close attention to the movements of the inner city.

Soon, the generals and soldiers with binoculars confirmed that this was just an oolong incident. Then, under the command of Wu Lin and Zhao Li, in addition to increasing the number of patrolling troops by one generation, the other troops followed suit one after another. He left Tokyo Bianliang City again.

Unexpectedly, the defeated Song army and criminals in the inner city took the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that Zhao Huan did not follow Li Cun's order to go out of the city to meet each other. Li Cun was furious and prepared to massacre the city.

Under the instigation of caring people, another chaos broke out.

A large number of Song army routs and outlaws took the opportunity to cause chaos. They even made the uniforms of the Qianjun themselves and put them on to pretend to be the soldiers of the Qianjun, burning, killing and looting everywhere.

As a result, more than [-] women in Xuan Rengao's back house were robbed, and even the wife of Zuo Yan, the commander of the four chambers, was taken away by these rout soldiers and lawbreakers.

Later, some Song army routs and outlaws rushed to the outer city, burning, killing and looting everywhere in the northeast.

After Li Cun learned of this, he personally ordered to kill and behead all the defeated soldiers of the Song army and lawbreakers for public display.

Not only that, Li Cun also sent envoys into the palace to warn Zhao Huanjun and his ministers, and immediately dispatched soldiers and horses to kill the defeated Song army and criminals in the inner city. When the Song army was defeated and outlaws, they would send soldiers and horses into the inner city to help Zhao Huan and his ministers maintain law and order.

Hearing that Li Cun was going to send troops into the inner city, Zhao Huan and his ministers were so frightened that they quickly arranged Kaifeng mansion inspections, imperial guards, and soldiers and horses ruled by generals Yao Youzhong, Wang Qiong, and Fan Qiong to counter the rebellion and killed a large number of soldiers. the wicked.

According to Li Cun's request, all these villains were beheaded for public display.

The people in the inner city who were persecuted by these Song army's defeated soldiers and outlaws were very happy, and they were grateful to Li Cun.

After Zhao Huan learned that the people had such an attitude, he became more and more afraid of long nights and dreams.

——Zhao Huan felt that if this continued, he might not be able to control the soldiers and civilians in the inner city to join forces and even destroy the Song Dynasty.

More importantly, if Li Cunzhen blamed him for procrastination and chose to send soldiers and horses into the inner city, then the Jiangshan Sheji of Zhao Huan and Zhao Song Dynasty would be in danger again.

After thinking about it, Zhao Huan finally summoned up his courage and decided to go to Qingcheng to meet Li Cun in person according to Li Cun's request.

Zhao Huan was worried that he would be usurped by the court after he left the city, so he issued a special edict to the soldiers and people in the city:

"Emperor Dagan insisted on meeting me in the suburbs. I counted the country, the society, and the lives of the whole city, and I should go there in person. I will consult you and the common people, and understand my intentions. Please be quiet and not disturb me. I may be in trouble. , so this is an edict, and all orders will know."

Early the next morning, Zhao Huan went to Qingcheng accompanied by ministers such as He Li, Sun Fu, Chen Guoting and other officials, leaving Zhang Shuye and Cao Fu to maintain the Zhao Song Dynasty in the inner city. Domination of the Inner City.

Li Cun, who had received the report a long time ago, thoughtfully arranged for Zhao Huan three thousand fine cavalry guards.

Just wait for Zhao Huanjun and his ministers to come to Nanxun Gate, and the three thousand fine horse guards will immediately guard Zhao Jijun and his ministers.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Huan was a little timid, even a little cringe.

But the matter has come to this, no matter how frightened Zhao Huan is, he has to bite the bullet and go out of the city to meet Li Cun, otherwise the three thousand fine cavalry guards might kill him on the spot.

On the road to Qingcheng, as far as Zhao Huan and his ministers could see, there were military strongholds and patrolling soldiers everywhere.

This made Zhao Huan and his ministers more and more convinced that the Gyeonggi area was full of cadres, and they could hardly fly. Therefore, if they dared to disobey Li Cun's wishes, they would die, and the Zhao Song Dynasty would die.

The total distance from Nanxunmen to Qingcheng is actually more than five miles.

Therefore, Zhao Huan and his ministers arrived in Qingcheng in just over an hour.

Li Cun, who was holding Zhao Xiangyun and watching Zhao Yuanzhu, Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun, Zhao Zhuzhu, Zhao Fobao, Zhao Jiner, the six imperial concubines playing "Three Kingdoms Killing" with Liang Hongyu, Yan Zhengu, and Yizhangqing, heard that Zhao Huan was finally tricked by himself, Immediately ordered Song Jiang, Zhang Chao and Hu Tu to arrange accommodation for Zhao Huan and his ministers, without saying anything else.

Knowing that Li Cun was not planning to meet Zhao Huan immediately, Zhao Huan's heart sank at the same time.

Zhao Huan and his ministers quickly hid in the small room arranged for them by Song Jiang, Zhang Chao and Hu Tu to discuss. Why didn't Li Cun meet with Zhao Huan immediately to discuss the peace between the two countries?
After discussing and discussing, Sun Zhi proposed a possibility: "But because the Emperor Daqian was angry that I didn't bring the surrender form?"

The surrender form, that is, the surrender document, is a written document that the defeated country must dedicate to the victorious country.

——This is also the written proof of the final outcome of the war between the two countries, and it is also an important basis for the victorious country to demand war reparations from the defeated country.

For a long time, Zhao Huan and his ministers have been avoiding the question that the Zhao Song Dynasty was a defeated country. They always comfort themselves that this is only a phased defeat, imagining that one day they will be able to turn defeat into victory.

Now, Li Cun's avoidance, no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, made Zhao Huan and his ministers realize that they can no longer use the spirit of Ah Q to paralyze themselves like this, and they must face what they have to face, and they will definitely not be able to run away.

Therefore, after a long silence, Zhao Huan ordered Sun Zhi to draft a surrender form.

When Sun Zhi heard this, he tried his best to refuse immediately. He said to Zhao Huan, "it is the responsibility of the governor to draft the surrender table. The minister is only a member of the Zhongshu family and has no right to draft it."

Zhao Huan looked at He Li again, and ordered He Li to draft the surrender form.

He Li also did not agree to draft the surrender form. He said: "This is not a matter for one person. It should be discussed by the ruling party and the system before drafting it."

However, Sun Fu and other ministers, as well as the ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasty present, did not express their views on this, and even bowed their heads in silence.

Since ancient times, it has been a thankless effort to draft a list down, and it has always been unlucky for anyone who gets involved.

It is easy to incur infamy. In history, many people were liquidated to death because of drafting downlists.

So who is willing to stand up and take the blame?

Seeing that everyone was unwilling to stand up and take the blame, He Li, who was duty-bound, said loudly: "The sage is in trouble today, and the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, but the princes only care about their own reputation, wealth and life, and don't care about the safety of the monarchy. How can you bear this? ?”

Zhao Huan was filled with grief and indignation, his face livid.

Seeing this, Sun Zhi sighed, then stepped forward and said, "I would like to draft it."

Seeing that Sun Fang was willing to stand up and take the blame, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, Sun Zhi, who is outstanding in writing, drafted the first draft of the lower table.

After Sun Zhi finished writing, He Li, Sun Fu and others helped to revise it.

After Zhao Huan's monarch and ministers were all satisfied, Zhao Huan quickly sent He Li to send the surrender form to Song Jiang.

When He Li sent the surrender form to Song Jiang, Song Jiang told He Li: "The officials have already fallen asleep, so there is no need to rush this matter."

He Li hurriedly brought Song Jiang's original words to Zhao Huan and his ministers.

Song Jiang's words made Zhao Huan and his ministers feel uneasy.

In addition, Zhao Huan, who was used to sleeping on the big bed in the palace, was really not used to resting on such a small bed.

So, Zhao Huan lay on the warm and clean bed, tossing and turning, without sleep all night.

However, He Li, Sun Fu and other Zaizhi and officials who came with them were not assigned separate rooms.

Moreover, Zhao Huan and the others lived in this room with only one bed and one set of bedding.

He Li, Sun Fu and others can't squeeze in with the emperor Zhao Huan, can they?

They had no choice but to sit on the ground with their clothes closed, rest their eyes and wait for the dawn.

——It's not that Li Cun deliberately made things difficult for Zhao Huan and his ministers. It's just that Qingcheng is such a big place. Li Cun can't let his civil and military officials make room for the civil and military officials of Zhao Song Dynasty, right?
……

At the same time, Zhao Gou received another wax book.

This wax book was sent by Liu Ding, who was ordered by Zhao Huan to leave the city urgently before the city was broken.

After repeated confirmation by Zhao Gou, he confirmed that the imperial edict was indeed written by Zhao Huan himself.

The content of this imperial edict is to ask Zhao Gou to quickly supervise the troops and rescue Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Liu Ding also told Zhao Gou and others that Bianliang City in Tokyo could not be defended in all likelihood, and advised Zhao Gou to immediately send troops back to Bianliang City in Tokyo to help the king.

Liu Ding's words shocked Zhao Gou and others!
Zhao Gou hurriedly called Geng Nanzhong, Wang Boyan and others to have a meeting to study and discuss countermeasures.

After overnight discussions by Zhao Gou and others, the Generalissimo Mansion was formally established in Xiangzhou.

In order to declare his status as the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses, Zhao Gou specially put on a scarlet robe and a jade belt.

No need for Zhao Gou to say anything, Geng Nanzhong said to all the staff in the Generalissimo's Mansion: "This jade belt in scarlet clothes was given by Your Majesty before the Marshal of Bingma left." The thing of the Supreme Being was taken from his body and given to His Majesty when he was on the Zen throne with His Majesty last year, and now His Majesty bestows this crimson robe and jade belt on to the Marshal of the Army and Horses."

Most of the people in the officialdom are good people, so they don't understand Geng Nanzhong's subtext that Zhao Gou is Zhao Huan's successor.

Regarding this, some people wondered why Geng Nanzhong was in such a hurry?
You know, the news that Tokyo Bianliang City was breached has not yet been confirmed. What if Zhao Huan led the soldiers and civilians in Tokyo Bianliang City to block the siege of the Gan army?

But how do these people know that Geng Nanzhong, who knows Zhao Huan very well and knows that Zhao Huan can't do anything at all, and who has seen through Li Cun's ability and ambition, is actually 100% sure now that Bianliang City in Tokyo is definitely over, and the Zhao family is still alive. Whether he can keep his country and society can only be determined by Zhao Gou.

……

Just when Zhao Huan was still naively imagining that Li Cun would negotiate peace with the Zhao Song Dynasty and then let him go back to Bianliang City in Tokyo, and that Zhao Jian would establish the Grand Marshal's Mansion, Li Cun was in front of the three timid Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun and Zhao Jin'er. The emperor galloped on the horse.

Li Cun felt sorry for Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun and Zhao Jin'er who died in Wanyan Zongwang's military camp in history.

Therefore, when it came to pushing Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun and Zhao Jin'er, Li Cun was very cautious, not as impatient as he used to be.

——Li Cun first let Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun, and Zhao Jiner fully understand that they are not scary, on the contrary, they are good people, and then asked the more courageous Zhao Yuanzhu, Zhao Zhuzhu, and Zhao Fobao to give Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun, and Zhao Jiner a sample, so that Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun, and Zhao Jin'er understands that such things between men and women are not so terrible. The key point is that Li Cun gave Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun, and Zhao Jiner enough time for psychological construction. The key point is that Li Cun overthrew Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun, and Zhao Jiner one by one. They don't have that much pressure.

Now, under the careful care and care of experienced Li Cun, Zhao Xianlang, Zhao Xiangyun and Zhao Jin'er have finally been fully developed by Li Cun.

That's not to say, it's time for Li Cun to enjoy it...
