Chapter 769 Song People

Guo Ning shouted, and the generals responded one after another.

According to the usual habits, everyone should return to the team next.But after Guo Ning yelled, he did not issue an order, but continued to meditate.

After a while, Yin Chang asked: "Duke, do you want Qingqi to be transferred?"

"As usual, the scale of additional scouts is also the same as before, and there must be no negligence! In addition, everyone, let me say something up front."

"Please give orders, Duke."

"Southern people are the most cunning, and they have various forces in and out of the court, like giant monsters with three heads and six arms. Each head and each arm has its own ideas and its own right and wrong. Even though this Xuanzang is holding Shi Miyuan's letter, It doesn't necessarily represent Shi Miyuan's true intentions, and it doesn't represent what Song Jun is doing. Besides, I see his words go around, and he wants Song Jun to enter Kaifeng, which is even more suspicious! So..."

Guo Ning beckoned and let the generals approach.

When his subordinates gathered around, he said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Just now I promised Xuan Zang that the Song Army can enter Kaifeng City. However, I didn't say that the Song Army was allowed to enter Kaifeng first, let alone allow them to control Kaifeng City. Every brick, every tile, every plant and every tree! Next, the soldiers of the three families will definitely fight in the south of Kaifeng, no matter what the battle is, you should remember one thing, Kaifeng is ours, and we will never give it up to others!"

Yin Chang hesitated and said: "Then we can't get around the previous problem, my lord, if the people of Song Dynasty act recklessly, let's use the mouse to avoid it."

Guo Ning picked up Shi Miyuan's handwritten letter, and looked at the eight words on it: "If you are poor, you will be separated, and you will never lose friends".Shi Miyuan is interesting, these eight characters seem to come from some ancient book, and then they cut off the beginning and the end.But the implication of this is not difficult to understand.

To explain it in terms that a reckless person can understand, it means that everyone will take the benefits together, and break up the partnership as soon as the benefits are divided, and don't let it out; in this way, we can make friends for a long time and wait for the next cooperation.

Good idea.

In terms of the identities of Guo Ning and Shi Miyuan, the reason is also correct.

It's a pity that Song people's long-standing problems are hard to change.

In the court center of the Song Dynasty, there were very few people who knew military affairs and were born in the army, so the judgment of military power was easy to fluctuate. Sometimes they felt that their side was useless, and sometimes they felt that their side had great opportunities.

At this moment, with the launch of the Ding Navy's offensive, the Kaifeng Jin Army, which was entangled with the Song people in the south, either retreated, or tried their best to withdraw in an attempt to return to Kaifeng.

So the Song people felt that although their family had been calculated in terms of strategy, they were able to do so in terms of force.Shi Miyuan wrote a letter right away, proposing to Guo Ning to divide up the benefits, even showing a little threat.

In their eyes, Kaifeng seemed to have become the territory of the Song Dynasty again, and they had every reason to enter Kaifeng and restore their old capital.And if Guo Ning is not allowed, this group of troops will become a variable on the battlefield.

2 people are not considered a strong enemy, but Dajin was able to set up a puppet Qi court in Kaifeng back then; how did the Song people have no interest in using Kaifeng as a bargaining chip and retaining the Suiwang regime to add obstacles to Guo Ning?Didn't you know that King Sui had planned to merge with the people of Song?
There is one thing that Guo Ning never told others.

Because of that big dream, Guo Ning vaguely remembered that later generations had the habit of calling both Tang and Song Dynasties, but the Dajin Kingdom was completely insignificant.He can even read a few poems by famous contemporary Song people such as Xin Jiaxuan and Chen Tongfu.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Han children thousands of years later, the Song State in the Southern Dynasty can quite represent the continuation of the Han family.Therefore, Guo Ning has always been very kind to the people of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty, and has no hostility.

But the dream is just a dream, it has nothing to do with reality, and Guo Ning has woken up from the dream for a long time.Now he represents his own Dinghai regime, and represents the common interests of countless people in this regime.In the near future, it may also represent the interests of all Han children, Khitan people, Bohai people, and even Jurchens and Tartars throughout the north.

Guo Ning felt that the regime that did not exist in this big dream was obviously stronger and more vigorous than the Southern Dynasty.

Compared with the future of this regime, what is Song State!
Thinking of this, Guo Ning made up his mind: "Rats must be exterminated! If there is an emergency, we have no choice but to hurt the store's utensils! If there is anything wrong, we can talk to the store later...Talk with Tie Guduo! Don't worry, we will never suffer!"

The four words "can't suffer" are the reassurance given by Guo Ning.

At present, all the generals listened to the order and agreed in unison.

Two or three hundred paces away from the tent of the Chinese army, Xuan Zeng stepped into the newly erected tent for the envoys of the Song Dynasty.

The entourage had just arrived here, and the two young men started a stove outside the tent to boil water, and the fire hadn't been lit yet.

Xuan Zang smiled at them and said, "After traveling for the past few days, everyone is exhausted. We won't be leaving today, everyone should rest well. Sleep for two hours, and see if the cook can prepare something delicious for us!" "

A companion couldn't help asking: "Master, Mr. Shi spent so much effort to send a handwritten letter from the sea, and asked you to come all the way to meet Zhou Guogong... You just said a few words, and then came out? I heard that Guo Ning was born as a pawn in the northern frontier, could it be that he has no patience to listen to your words?"

"Haha, wait, shut up. Don't underestimate Zhou Guogong. Outsiders only say that he is as fierce as a tiger. In fact, I think he is as cunning and wise as a fox! What I want to tell him, a few words are enough ;I didn't explain it clearly, but he can think of it all! If that's the case, why bother to say more?"

The companions were curious, and a favored one immediately asked: "But I don't know, Mr. Xianggong and Mr. Shi Xiangye, what exactly are you going to tell Guo Ning?"

Xuan Zang ignored them.He entered the tent on his own, and only murmured: "I hope Zhao Yanzhi moves faster."

When the companion wanted to ask again, Xuan Zong lay on the couch and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

It is two hundred miles away from Guo Ning's Chenliu camp.

A Song army with a clear banner is advancing rapidly.Their footsteps stepped on the dry ground, stirring up billows of smoke and dust, as if gray dragons were sticking to the ground and soaring toward the northeast.The people and horses in the distance could not be seen clearly at all, Zhao Fang could only see the soldiers who were packing up the vehicles and luggage nearby, and saw their exhausted but energetic faces.

The soldiers also saw Zhao Fang, who was standing at the head of the bridge with white beard and hair. Many people waved to him and shouted: "Grandpa Zhao!"

20 days ago, these soldiers defeated the marching capital of the Jin Army in Zaoyang, led by Wang Chouhan, and pushed the battle back to the territory of the Jin Army. Fifteen days ago, these soldiers captured Tangzhou again and captured thousands of families of the Jin Army He answered and raised the charge of sticking and cutting the chariot.

At this time, the Jin army still has heavy troops in Fangcheng, Ye County, Nanyang and other places, and they can form a momentum of attack from the north and the south at any time, so Zhao Fang has decided to accept it when he agrees.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was news that the Ding Navy had mobilized a huge force to launch a fierce attack on the Kaifeng court of the Kingdom of Jin. Returning north one after another, the Nanyang Jin army was so frightened that the camp collapsed!
That alone was not enough to affect Zhao Fang's military decision-making, but at the same time he received a military order from the Song court.Prime Minister You and Privy Envoy Shi Miyuan issued an order in person, and urgently allocated 30 shi for military supplies, ordering Zhao Fang to take chaos and perish, and take Kaifeng directly.

Zhao Fang has known Shi Miyuan for almost 20 years.When he was serving as magistrate of Qingyang County, Shi Miyuan was his immediate boss Chizhou magistrate.During Zhao Fang's tenure in office for two years, he never disturbed the officials and punished them without any difference, which was highly appreciated by Shi Miyuan.

He is also quite good at military affairs, able to win the strength of soldiers, and has always been very wary of his strong neighbors in the north.So after Shi Miyuan took control of the center, he knew Suizhou as Zhao Fang.Later, Zhao Fang was transferred and promoted several times in succession. In each term, he had the experience of organizing the army and selecting capable generals. Last year, he served as the envoy of the Jinghu System.

Most of these promotions were promoted by Shi Miyuan.

But Zhao Fang knew very well that Shi Miyuan was not someone who dared to fight against the Kingdom of Jin.His weakness, timidity and indecision are just like those of the high officials and nobles in the Song Dynasty.On the relationship between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, he only dared to blurt out the relationship between the two countries, and he was not hesitant to bend his knees, which was also in line with the mainstream opinions of the Great Song Dynasty.

Shi Miyuan used Zhao Fang just like he used Cui Yuzhi and others; he just took these people who were in charge of the battle and prepared for the battle as the bottom-line candidates in his prime minister's mansion.

But who would have thought that Shi Miyuan, who had been slightly despised by Zhao Fang, suddenly made such a big determination, he seemed crazy, and the other people in the court were also crazy.

The imperial court ordered Zhao Fang to fight from Tangzhou to Kaifeng in one go!

There has been no precedent for this kind of attack that has been driven straight for hundreds of miles since the founding of the Song Dynasty, even King Yue Zhongwu did not do it back then!

Zhao Fang was managing the military in the Jinghu area, benefiting from the benefits of the Great Song Dynasty in maritime trade, he searched for a lot of horses, and prepared a large number of cavalry. Even so, he did not have such courage.When receiving the order, Zhao Fang even joked with his two sons: I can at most be Wei Rui, but I don't want the court to think I am Chen Qingzhi.

Zhao Fang was reluctant, but he couldn't resist the harsh words of the court, and awarded nearly ten gold medals in one day and one night.He had no choice but to raise troops, but he made up his mind that once he hit a hard bone, he would never love to fight, and immediately retreated to ensure the safety of his soldiers.

What he didn't expect was that the march in the next ten days or so went smoothly beyond words.

The defenses of the Kaifeng court of the Kingdom of Jin on Nanjing Road have really fallen apart. Zhao Fang’s troops marched far more than fighting all the way north, and they hardly ran into any death-fighting enemy troops during the battle. So, he really rushed into the hinterland of Nanjing Road!

Zhao Fang was completely surprised by this, only thinking that Da Song might have God's help.

When the team and the luggage team set off one after another, he used his cane to prop up the stone slab at the head of the bridge, and said with emotion: "This is the Xiaoshang Bridge! After crossing the Xiaoshang Bridge, you will arrive at Linying, and then continue northward to Zhuxian Town, to Tokyo Bianliang! This... this is like a dream!"
