Yi Song

Chapter 280 We talked about loneliness

Liu Erlang is back!

Bianjing spread the news early in the morning.

"When did Liu Erlang come back?" A watchman asked curiously as he sat down in a foot shop with his drum under his arm.

"Yesterday at dusk." Ding, the military patrolman on duty, replied.

"Ah, why is there no movement at all?" A gangster from the gambling house asked curiously, "Last time when Taiwei Tan came back, it was shocking. Why is there no movement at all when Liu Erlang comes back?"

"This is Liu Erlang's way of being a minister. He knows that his great achievements will shock the master, so he is so cautious in his work." A down-and-out scholar replied shaking his head.

"Bullshit, the credit is there, why can't others see it if you work carefully?" the gambling thug said unconvinced.

"You know what the heck! Liu Erlang has made such great achievements, how many people are jealous of him? If he still acts in a flamboyant manner, he is asking for his own death!"

"Then you know nothing! So what if you show off? Those pigeons, if they have the ability, go and take back Hexi, and chase Mobei from the north!" The thugs from the gambling shop got into a fight with the scholar.

Liu Erlang returned to Bianjing, and Zhao Ji met him at Genyue Baozhuan Palace the next day.

"Officials, I suggest that we set up Fengsheng and Shengzhou according to the previous Tang Dynasty."

"Hey, Guanjia, are you back like this?"

"Donkey day dog ​​thief! I will fight with you!" Xiucai roared, pounced forward, and fought with the thugs. The military patrolman Ding and the watchman quickly stepped forward to break up the fight.

Zhao Ji was wearing a green Taoist robe, with a jade hairpin inserted into his bun. Sitting on the monk's couch in Huixian Hall, he looked at Liu Guozhang with a complicated expression.

"Tch! Those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard govern others. You don't understand, you don't understand!" The scholar looked like you don't understand even if I say it. He raised his head, squinted his eyes, and despised everything.

"You Erlang, you actually ran away to Mobei. It is a barbarian land and is full of dangers. If something happens and Fifth Sister asks me for help, what should I do?"

"A straight mother is a thief, you know. Your mother is so understanding. She knows how to give away her wife to others, so she got a job as a book clerk in a gambling shop."

The store owner and his wife rushed in after hearing the sound, their faces turned pale with fright, "Oh my God!"

The thug added fuel to the fire, "Xiucai, your wife, and those who have enjoyed it all agreed."

"According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, well, the Song Dynasty will one day surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties." Zhao Ji said enthusiastically, then turned his head and said with a smile: "You also know what Fifth Sister is thinking. She is already so old. There has to be an explanation.”

The scholar turned red, black, and blue for a while, and he was shaking all over.

"The official, this is my minister Meng Lang. At that time, I heard that Brother Richard led his troops to the north and first recruited troops in the Hetao area. I felt anxious and followed him with my troops.

This slap in the face was too harsh.

There was a bang, teapots, cups, bowls, chopsticks and plates flying in the air, tables and chairs being pushed and creaking.

After fighting several battles in Yunnei, Hetao, this straight-blooded thief ran away and fled all the way north to Mobei, where he again colluded with the nine Tatar tribes. I was thinking at the time that if this bastard colluded with the Tartars in Mobei, there would never be peace in Wuyuan Yunnei and Hedong in Yanzhou, Ningxia. "

Zhao Ji glanced at him and said meaningfully: "It's good to be back. What do you do with the front and rear loops you recovered?"

"You just followed?" Zhao Ji scolded, "You are the coach of my Song Dynasty. If you don't choose the vanguard, don't be afraid of the enemy in everything, rush to the front, where will you put the whole army?"

"I offer the six prefectures of Ningxia, Yan, Feng, Sheng, Shuo and Ying as betrothal gifts to the five ladies."

Zhao Ji turned into a very satisfied old father-in-law at this time, stroking his beard, "Well, Erlang is determined. With six states, well, how come there are six states? Oh, you captured Shuo and Ying states?"

Only then did he react. "When I returned to the official residence, when I led my troops back to the south, the Zhenwu tribe dominated Mobei, and Zhenwuhuan was honored as Akdarai Khan. Wanyan Agu committed suicide to apologize, and sent Zi Wushu as a hostage. The Liao people accepted Wanyan's tribe and appointed him Wanyan Wu begged to be bought as a military envoy.

The Zhenwu tribe and the Wanyan tribe were mortal enemies. The Liao people surrendered the Wanyan tribe. Zhenwu Huan angrily turned against the Liao people and led troops to capture Datong City in Yunzhou. The minister was an ally of the Zhenwu Department, so he took advantage of the situation and captured the two states of Shuo and Ying. "

Upon hearing this great news, Zhao Ji couldn't react for a while, and asked hesitantly after a while.

"What should the Liao people do to fight back?"

"The Liao people launched two counterattacks, but were repelled both times. Now they are busy recovering Liaodong, and they also have to face the pressure of 100,000 troops from the Zhenwu Department. In Datong City, they are powerless."

"One hundred thousand soldiers and horses? The Zhenwu Department has one hundred thousand soldiers and horses?"

"Yes. The main force of the Zhenwu Department can directly attack the Liao people from the Jinshan area to Shangjing and Zhongjing. In the northeast, the Zhenwu Department controls Tongzhou, and has four major ten thousand households as allies. They can go south to fight for Liaodong at any time."

Zhao Ji was surprised and happy, "So, the Liao people are having a hard time?"

"Previously, the Wanyan tribe led the Jurchens to rebel against the Liao, and it was only limited to the northeastern corner. Now that the Zhenwu tribe has turned against the Liao people, he can launch attacks at any time from the northeast, Jinshan to the north, and Yinshan to the northwest.

At this time, the Liao people were surrounded by enemies on three sides, and it was more difficult than when Wanyan was in charge. "

According to Liu Guozhang's subordinates, Liu Chirui moved to Tongzhou and was responsible for the northeastern strategy; Liu Zhene was stationed in Tu'er Mountain and was responsible for the strategy to the north of Jinshan; Liu Zhuxie was stationed in Datong and was responsible for the northwest strategy.

With attacks from three sides, the lives of the Liao people were indeed more difficult than before.

Zhao Ji thought for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "With me, the Song Dynasty, the Liao people are surrounded!"

"Yes, official."

Lao Zhao, you just realized it now.

"Last month, Ma Zheng and his son came back from Dengzhou. They lingered in the Northeast for several months, and finally persuaded Wanyan Bu and Aguda to agree to jointly attack Liao. The next step is to discuss the details in detail.

What should we do now? "

The more Zhao Ji thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he ordered Liu Ruoyu to quickly summon Ma Zheng, Ma Kuo and his son, as well as Wang Fu and Cai You who firmly supported the alliance with Jin to attack Liao.

The four people arrived quickly and were surprised and happy to see Liu Guozhang. After meeting Zhao Ji, they all stepped forward to greet him one by one. Especially Ma Kuo, he was extremely excited and happy.

Zhao Ji couldn't wait to say: "Erlang, please tell the ministers about the situation in Mobei."

What big thing happened again?
The four of them looked at each other.

After listening to Liu Guozhang briefly explain the situation, the first people who were dumbfounded were Ma Zheng and Ma Kuo.

We took great risks and crossed the sea by boat.

He went through countless hardships to find the men of the Wanyan tribe in the extremely dangerous Liaodong, and then tried his best to persuade them to take him to see the nobles of the Wanyan tribe.

After trying so hard, I finally saw Wanyan Aguda. After stating the pros and cons, trying hard and trying hard, Wanyan Aguda finally agreed to join forces with the Song Dynasty to attack the Liao Dynasty.

You came back excitedly to discuss the detailed plan for the next step, and then you suddenly told me that the Wanyan Jin Kingdom, which was once powerful and dominated the Northeast, was defeated by the Zhenwu Department in just two or three months, like a tide washing over the sand.

Most of the clan nobles of Wanyan tribe died unexpectedly. Wanyan Aguda committed suicide, leaving less than 6,000 people in the Wanyan tribe. Under the leadership of Wanyan Wu Qimai, they relied on the protection of the Liao people to survive.

Co-authored by father and son, we risked our lives, talked for more than half a year, and came back lonely after talking?
