A knife in love

Chapter 1952
At this time, Li Qiufeng had woken up from the initial shock. He carefully recalled what Feng Wei had said, and compared it with what he knew about the Marquis Wu formation. Although there were many differences, they were generally It can also be said.He thought to himself, Tong Guan was a well-known treacherous official in the Song Dynasty, he was born as a eunuch and became king, he is the only one in the world.He was able to be an official in the same court with Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and other treacherous and evil people, and he could not lose the wind in intrigue, which shows that this person must be extremely insidious and cunning.Although Feng Wei's words were somewhat inaccurate, but what he deliberately concealed was nothing more than some scandals about the royal family of Zhao Song. As for the things Tong Guan told him, there is no need to deliberately conceal them from us.What is the plan of this cunning and sinister treacherous official who called Feng Wei, an official the size of a sesame mung bean, into the mansion, and told these secret things about the previous dynasty?
When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Feng Wei continue: "Sir Tong Guan sighed at this point, and seemed to be quite regretful. However, I took a sneak look at him, and saw that there was a bit of a smile on his face. The look of complacency. I was puzzled, but I didn't dare to ask further. Master Tong Guan then said to me that since Song and Liao formed an alliance in Chanzhou, there has been no war for more than a hundred years, and the Dingzhou formation is useless. Finally The generals were dispersed, and everyone returned to the town. As for the formation map in the hands of Emperor Taizong, since his death, it has been shelved, and no one knows about it. It's just that although the Khitan people no longer have the intention of going south, the northwest has taken the risk. There is a Li Yuanhao. This party is a sinful kind of ungrateful person. After occupying the northwest, he has the ambition to annex Guanzhong. Although our dynasty has famous ministers and generals such as Fan Wenzheng and Di Wuxiang, they can only be divided equally with Li Yuanhao. It is impossible to eradicate the Dangxiang people. For more than a hundred years, the Dangxiang people were even more arrogant than the Khitan people, which caused the Song Dynasty to spend countless money and food, and it was impossible to completely eliminate the troubles in the northwest frontier."

When Feng Wei said this, he paused for a while, and then he continued: "I know that Master Tong Guan used to conquer the Northwest as an army supervisor, controlled the frontier army, and made extraordinary achievements. I heard him mention Troubled in the northwest frontier, I thought to myself, it turned out that Lord Tong Guan was telling me about his military exploits in front of me.

"Thinking of this, I flattered Lord Tong Guan a few words. He just smiled, didn't comment, and still told me about the past. After Emperor Huizong ascended the throne, the party members were always ready to move, planning to seize Shanyou and then occupy Guanzhong. Later Sure enough, the Dangxiang people sent troops in a large scale and captured the four prefectures on the right side of Shaanxi, and the soldiers pointed directly at Guanzhong.

"The military report spread to Bianliang, Tokyo, and the court was shaken. Emperor Huizong summoned his important ministers to discuss matters, and Lord Cai Jing agreed to send troops to retake the Qing and Tang states. He said to the emperor that Lord Tong Guan had made ten missions to the states of Shaanxi and the right. He is very familiar with the situation, and knows the strengths and weaknesses of the generals stationed at the various places on the Fifth Shaanxi Road. If Mr. Tong Guan is the supervisor of the army and sends a large army to counterattack, he will surely defeat the party members and restore the safety of the Fifth Shaanxi Road.

"Lord Cai Jing is the most trusted minister of Emperor Huizong. He recommended Master Tong Guan to be the supervisor of the army. The emperor immediately responded and ordered the department to plan the invasion of Shaanxi and the right. With General Wang Hou as the main general and Master Tong Guan as the supervising army, he is in charge of the Fifth Shaanxi Frontier Army.

"After the army was assembled, they went out to Huangzhou, intending to replenish the army, food and grass in Huangzhou City, and then attacked the party members on a large scale. Just when everything was ready and the only thing left was the east wind, the palace in Bianliang, Tokyo suddenly caught fire. After the Tianjian did the calculations, he said that disasters had come from the heavens, and warned the emperor not to use weapons rashly. Emperor Huizong believed in Taoism. After hearing the report from the Sitianjian, he immediately wrote down a handbook and sent it to the Northwest Army camp eight hundred miles away. Master Tong Guan was ordered not to send troops.

"When Emperor Huizong's handbook was sent to Huangzhou, the army had just finished gathering, and Lord Wang Hou, the chief general, was about to dispatch troops. Lord Tong Guan received the emperor's handbook, opened it and read it, and put it in his boots. General Wang Hou Knowing that the urgent dispatch of the emperor's decree from Babaili must be an extremely urgent matter, I asked Mr. Tong Guan what the emperor's order is. Mr. Tong Guan smiled and said, His Majesty knew that the army was about to be dispatched, so he specially wrote a decree, hoping that General Wang would not If all the generals under his command can set off to victory, they will succeed in no time!
"At that time, the army of Huangzhou gathered. Since Di Wuxianggong fought against Weizhou, the military capacity of the Northwest Frontier Army has never been so strict. All the generals are gearing up for themselves. They are only waiting for General Wang Hou to give an order, and then they will attack Shanyou Sizhou. At this time, the army is like a strong bow that has been stretched tightly. If Master Tong Guan announces Emperor Huizong's order to the generals, it will be as if the strong bow is suddenly broken. On the contrary, the enemy will hurt himself. And at this critical moment, once the news of withdrawing troops and not fighting, the [-] troops will be in disorder without fighting, and their morale will plummet. No. What's more terrible is that the party members are aggressive. After seizing the four prefectures in Shanyou, their soldiers pointed directly at Guanzhong. If they knew that the imperial conquest army would retreat without a fight, they would definitely cover up and kill them from behind. , the [-] northwest frontier troops are also in danger of being wiped out. Master Tong Guan not only saved the lives of [-] frontier soldiers, but also saved the right of Shanxi and Guanzhong for the Song Dynasty, which can be said to be a great merit."

When Feng Wei said this, he glanced at Wang Xiaoyu intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "Everyone says that Mr. Tong Guan is a big treacherous minister, maybe it is because he was born as a minister, and he is not as good as a scholar-official. He is despised by others. Moreover, Mr. Tong Guan likes gold, silver and jewelry, so he did take bribes. When I was an observer and supervisor in the Northwest, I imagined that there were many cases of pretending to be a military leader. Although I was an official in the court, after all, I also I have read several books of sages and sages, so I don’t need to be jealous of my lord. But even though Mr. Tong Guan made a lot of mistakes, he risked his life in Huangzhou to conceal the holy will, and saved hundreds of thousands of frontier soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in Shanyou and Guanzhong. Life, this feat, is not fake."

Seeing Feng Wei looking at him, Wang Xiaoyu knew that he had scolded Tong Guan as a big treacherous minister before, which made Feng Wei unhappy.She twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a sneer: "The more treacherous and evil a person is, the more he will use some small favors to buy people's hearts. The traitor Tong Guan has killed countless loyal officials and people, even if he has done a little bit of good in the northwest , nor can he atone for his sin."

Feng Wei already knew that Wang Xiaoyu was young and ignorant, and liked to argue.When she refuted herself, it wasn't because she hated herself, it was just because of her nature, she refused to convince others.If I quarrel with her, I'm afraid it will be endless.So Feng Wei ignored Wang Xiaoyu, and continued: "General Wang Hou had no doubts in his heart after listening to Mr. Tong Guan, so he ordered troops to be dispatched. The [-] troops marched together and defeated the invaders in Shaanxi. Party members recaptured the four prefectures on the right side of Shaanxi. Master Tong Guan was promoted to envoy of Jingfu Hall and Observation Envoy of Xiangzhou with his military merits. The ministers served as envoys of the two envoys based on their qualifications. This was an unprecedented thing in the Song Dynasty. There is such a case. What is more important is that Emperor Huizong believed that Master Tong Guan was proficient in the art of war and relied heavily on him. Soon after, he was appointed as the envoy of the Xihe, Lanhuang, and Qinfeng Road Economic Strategy Appeasement System, and was immediately promoted to Wukang Army Jiedu envoy , became a powerful official in the frontier. When Master Tong Guan led the army to attack Xi Ge Zang Zheng and recovered the Jishi Army and Taozhou, the military exploits were outstanding for a while. Emperor Huizong Longyan Dayue granted Master Tong Guan the title of inspector Sikong, Ranked one of the three lords, in terms of official position, he can already stand shoulder to shoulder with Master Cai Jing."
