There is no use to clamor on such matters!Finally someone came out to say something fair.When Prime Minister Li Hao turned around and looked, it turned out to be General Han Baozheng.
Li Hao was full of anger and wanted to have anger, but the Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor Wang Zhaoyuan always grabbed Li Hao's personal stains and criticized him, which made Li Hao feel very difficult... Moreover, when the former Shu was destroyed, the reincarnation of the prefectures and the rich property of the family were all facts and difficult to argue.
Someone came out to smooth things over, so Li Hao went down the steps and swallowed his anger into his stomach.
He took the opportunity to remove the finger from his personal issues and said: Your Majesty's court meeting today should start from a big picture and discuss three major issues first.First, what attitude should we respond to the Zhou Dynasty’s envoys’ questioning; second, we should recognize the strength and weakness of the two countries; with the decisions of the first two, we can use this as a basis to deploy offensive and defense strategies, which is the third...
Before he finished speaking, the eloquent Wolong Wang Zhaoyuan immediately said: What else can I discuss about this?Your Majesty does not respond to the Zhou Dynasty as the Emperor of Great Shu. Do you want to persuade Your Majesty to give up your honor and submit to the Central Plains?I just said that Prime Minister Li is very good at revising and surrendering.
The son of the turtle was pulled to the lowering table again, and Li Hao had a black line full of forehead.
Li Hao said angrily: Wang Zhaoyuan, if you don’t advise Your Majesty to respond wisely, if Great Shu is trapped in the future, no one of us will get the best!If you don’t think about the Great Shu court, can you feel comfortable when your family is destroyed and your wealth is gone?
My family is not as full of gold, silver and silk as Prime Minister Li.Wang Zhaoyuan had a cold face and mocked.
Li Hao said annoyedly: The temple is a national event. You don’t have to hold on to such trivial matters. You just say that the big things are ugly!
Wang Zhaoyuan looked calm and bowed to the north: How could His Majesty give up his honor?I don’t agree!
Emperor Meng Chang, who had been silent for a long time, nodded immediately when he heard the question of honorary title, and praised Wang Zhaoyuan's attitude very much.
Wang Zhaoyuan continued: At present, only strict troops should be required to resist the enemy, and secretly send envoys to contact the Northern Han Kingdom and the Southern Tang Kingdom to take advantage of the Zhou Dynasty to attack Shu!
Li Hao said coldly: The Southern Tang Kingdom has long lost its fighting spirit, so let’s not talk about it; if the Northern Han Kingdom would send troops, where will the Northern Han army be when Li Chongjin and Li Jixun raise the army?When the Zhou army fought in Hedong, the Northern Han still remained silent; but now they wanted to help Shu Kingdom thousands of miles away?It's really a laughing master!
Wang Zhaoyuan said: Li Chongjin and others are just rebels. How can Da Shu be compared with local rebels who rebel in rebellion?Our Great Shu Kingdom is composed of Hanzhong, Bashan, Jianmen, and Wushan in the east.With high mountains and steep mountains and rivers, you can attack and retreat or defend.Now that the situation is unfavorable, we will defend the mountains and rivers layer by layer; if the Central Plains is in turmoil, we will take advantage of the weather to leave the Sichuan to settle the Central Plains, and Your Majesty will face the north and rule the world!
When Meng Chang heard Wang Zhaoyuan say it well, he immediately asked: Deputy Envoy Wang thought that the Shu army could defend against the Zhou army's attack?
Li Hao hurriedly said: Your Majesty, Shu Mountain is no matter how dangerous it is, (later) the Tang Dynasty once defeated it, otherwise where would your Majesty's foundation be?If you do not cultivate martial arts, you cannot defend even if you are dangerous.
Did Your Majesty ask you?Wang Zhaoyuan looked at Li Hao coldly.
Seeing Li Hao shook his head and sighing, but he did not dare to refute, Wang Zhaoyuan ignored it and spoke up, so he bowed to the north: Your Majesty should not worry about whether he can defend it or not, but about when he can settle the Central Plains!
oh?Meng Chang moved his fat body and said, I would like to hear it carefully.
Wang Zhaoyuan said: Xingzhou is guarding for one or two months, Hanzhong is guarding for half a year; the mountains and rivers in the north are dangerous, and the Zhou army is sure to be able to break quickly. Lizhou is guarding for one or two years, Jianzhou is guarding for another one or two years... The north is about to conquer Dashu, and the horses and months of horses are going to go. Can they support such a long battle?
Your Majesty thinks again, how many years the Tang Dynasty was established, how many years after the Jin Dynasty, how many years after the Han Dynasty, how many years it has been since the Zhou Dynasty. In another year or two, it is still unknown whether it exists.They won't attack Shu Kingdom for too long and they don't have that much patience.
Meng Chang nodded frequently: It’s reasonable to say it, it’s reasonable to say it!
Wang Zhaoyuan said: Therefore, Your Majesty does not need to let go of his noble body and whisper to the Zhou Dynasty. He wants to fight, so let’s accompany you!In the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor was a child. A woman was a country, and the ruler was weak and the ministers were strong. The limit was not far away. When "Guo Rong" was in power, he was aggressive in civil and military affairs. His Majesty was not afraid, but now he is still afraid that a child will not succeed!
Meng Chang immediately snorted: My Great Shu has been established for forty years, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe.The north has experienced four dynasties: Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou dynasties!The Zhou Dynasty was just a sudden outbreak of bandits, but that was it.
When everyone heard the emperor say this, they all bowed: Your Majesty is wise.
Even Li Hao was not willing to disobey the emperor again.
Li Hao bowed and thought: Although Wang Zhaoyuan was a hammer (a male organ in dialect), it was very annoying, but this guy was good at calculating the will of the holy people. Today he caught the emperor's unwillingness to surrender.
So I was defeated by the fact that I was in a bad way with him.
Li Hao thought about Han Baozheng's retreat for himself before, and said: I recommended Han Baozheng, the envoy of Xuanhui North Court, to deploy reinforcements to Hanzhong to resist the enemy to protect Hanzhong.
Meng Chang immediately said: Approve the report.
Li Hao turned his head again and said: Hou Mao, the defensive envoy of Xingzhou, must have talent if he refuses the Zhou army. General Han can reuse this person after he arrives in Hanzhong... I really confiscated his money, and I have never seen anyone!
Han Baozheng said: I wish to listen to Prime Minister Li’s words.Prime Minister Li is at ease. When Zhou Shizong was still in power, the Zhou army was very strong, but the Central Plains were in turmoil, and this was the time and time. This was the orphan and widowed mother in the Zhou Dynasty, and she was too busy to take care of herself. She wanted to bully others with her power, which was too despised our Shu army.Let’s wait for my order to lead the army north, and we will meet the Zhou army to see how they can do it?
So Meng Chang issued an order to revise the letter of the State and answered the edict of the Zhou Dynasty, but he still called himself the Emperor of Great Shu. After making excuses, he said that the State of Shu had no intention of provocation and rebuked the Zhou Dynasty for being too harassed, and the whole country was indignant.
There are many ridicule in the words of the Zhou Dynasty's monarch and ministers who became rich and villains succeeded in one's life.
……
It was more than half a month after the letter of Chinese origin arrived in Tokyo.
It was the end of winter (November), and the twelfth month was about to begin. It was already snowing in Tokyo, and the world was swaying like goose feathers. The palaces and houses of the entire metropolis were shrouded in a snow-white snow, and the silver was covered with very different silver.
This time, not only Fu Jinzhan was angry, but the civil and military officials in the court were very dissatisfied; but Xiang Gong's troops had been in use for more than a month, and he had not even made a breakthrough in Qingniling. The Zhou dynasty's monarch and ministers, who had always believed in martial arts, had nothing to say now.
Fu Jinzhan summoned important officials from the military and state to discuss matters.
Wang Pu took the lead in questioning the feasibility of this battle. He said: He originally planned to take Hanzhong first as a frontier camp, but Xiang Gong failed to quickly break through the Shu army's defense line. If he delayed, the original strategy would be useless; Shu would do his best to reinforce the north and strengthen the defense.The more Shu troops there were in Hanzhong, the less troops Xianggong's troops were... The old minister thought that he could give up this battle first; after the weather was warm next year, he would send another army to attack from the east and disperse the Shu troops before he could advance.
The voice of Fu Jinzhan from behind the curtain asked: What do you think, Prime Minister Wang and General Guo?
Because it was recommended by Wang Pu, Wang Pu was a little embarrassed at this time and turned to look at Guo Shao.Guo Shao was also a little depressed and pondered for a moment and said: What the envoy Wang said is not without reason. Now that the twelfth lunar month is cold, the soldiers are trapped in the border of Shu, and they are in a difficult situation. They can indeed consider a temporary truce and retreat to Guzhen, Fengzhou and other places to spend the winter.but……
Xiang Gong is ahead and understands various situations on the spot. The court should not order at will two thousand miles away.I thought I could send someone to condolences to the soldiers in front and give Xiang Gong a certain degree of autonomy.If he thinks he has the opportunity to take Qingniling and enter Tuxingzhou, he can continue to use his troops; on the contrary, according to the view of the Privy Councilor, he will withdraw his troops first, and send another army from the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River to restrain the Shu army next year.
After hearing this, Wang Pu could accept it and nodded: General Guo’s words are reasonable, so he should indeed ask the general in front of him what he meant.
Guo Shao said: No matter what Xiang Gong plans, he can ask him to report in detail local geography, military deployment and other matters, so that we can analyze and evaluate the military and political situation of the Shu army.
Fu Jinzhan said: As you said, he sent a fast horse to Guzhen to pass the order.
Everyone took the order.The eunuch Yang Shiliang said: If you have something to report, you will give up without any reason.Several people bowed together and said, "I will leave."
Guo Shao delayed until the end and did not leave the palace.
After the ministers left one after another, they followed the eunuch to the study inside and met Fu Jinzhan alone.
As usual, although they met, there were servants present, and they were not alone.
Fu Jinzhan complained softly: The Lord of Shu has repeatedly discouraged me. There are so few people in this world who can protect me, and Xiang Gong is a little disappointed.
Guo Shao advised with kind words: If the king of Shu is angry for a moment, he will eventually suffer disaster.Don’t worry, the Empress Dowager, the war to unify Shu Kingdom has just begun, and sometimes there will be unsuccessful situations.Next year, the empress dowager will definitely regain her dignity!
However, I think this matter should not be entirely blamed on Xiang Gong's weak power. Although the Northwest Town Army he led is quite powerful, it still has a gap compared to the equipment and quality of the imperial guards; and a slight detail on the battlefield will affect the result.Maybe Xiang Gong happened to meet a talented person in Shu... The terrain there was difficult and as long as it was properly deployed, it was indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack.Otherwise, Shu would not have been immortalized for decades of Jin, Han and Zhou.
After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan said softly: You are right. We seem to be too eager to achieve success. If we prepare more, we will not be able to defeat Hanzhong again next year.In the end, it was my decision, and it’s not your fault.
Guo Shao hurriedly said: The Empress Dowager of Military Affairs always listens to my advice. The main responsibility for this matter lies with me... I was really anxious at that time. I thought that if we could not continue to open up territory and establish achievements, our prestige would gradually decline. This would not be a solution.
After he said that, his tone became firm: Take over Shu Kingdom within next year!After the deployment is completed, I request an order to lead the imperial guards to attack Shu.
Li Hao was full of anger and wanted to have anger, but the Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor Wang Zhaoyuan always grabbed Li Hao's personal stains and criticized him, which made Li Hao feel very difficult... Moreover, when the former Shu was destroyed, the reincarnation of the prefectures and the rich property of the family were all facts and difficult to argue.
