Monument Yangmen

Chapter 254
When the Taizu of this dynasty was reading "Song History", he once commented on Zhao Guangyi's ability.

"This man doesn't know how to fight, and he is not an opponent of the Khitan. After repeated defeats, the Khitan always used the method of luring the enemy to go deep, gathering and annihilating them, and the Song people finally lost consciousness."

It probably means that Zhao Guangyi doesn't understand the art of war, and he is not an opponent of Khitan at all.The conquest of Khitan resulted in repeated defeats, and the Khitan's method of luring the enemy to penetrate deep, gathering and annihilating them has been tried and tested repeatedly.Unfortunately, he had no intention of being vigilant at all.

Since Zhao Guangyi, the Song Dynasty has been oppressed and beaten almost all the time. Why?
Many people said that the literati misled the country, and some said that the emperor was weak.

However, Yang Yansi felt that it was rooted in Zhao Guangyi.

The Song Dynasty was established after the Zhou Dynasty, ending the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

The perennial chaos caused a large number of people to die in the war.

After Zhao Kuangyin established the country, he went south and north and fought for a long time, barely pacifying the Quartet.

This also led to the emptiness of the internal treasury of the Song Dynasty and the extreme poverty of the people.

After Zhao Guangyi came to power, he didn't have the idea of ​​cultivating health immediately.

He was crazier than Zhao Kuangyin, and directly swung hundreds of thousands of troops to press on the Liao Kingdom.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, plus millions of civilians recruited.

In a day, the food consumed by people eating horse chews is a huge number.

And Zhao Guangyi led a large army to fight the Liao people on the border for a full year.

How did this survive?

The treasury is empty, and the only thing to do is draw people's blood.

After defeating the battle and returning to the court, he waited for some days, and waited until the people had just recovered.

He started conquering the Liao Kingdom again.

During his 21 years in office, he conquered the Liao Kingdom three times on a large scale.

Returning after three major defeats completely exhausted Song's financial and material resources.

The most important thing is that 50 troops were buried by him on the battlefield of Song and Liao.

It can be said that almost all the elites accumulated during the founding period of the Song Dynasty were consumed by him.

Then, he left a mess to his son and died himself.

The national treasury is empty, the people are extremely poor, and the elite of the army is exhausted.

What should I use to fight with others?
I can only be beaten in a grievance.

Wait until the national strength is enriched.

The civil servants have taken control of the government, and the army has been corrupted by the nobles.

The civil servants demanded a peace, but the army could not be pulled out to fight.

What can be done?

I can only be wronged and seek peace, and continue to be beaten.

Therefore, in the final analysis, the root of all problems lies in Zhao Guangyi's messing around.

If he didn't toss about, perhaps, Da Song would be another scene.

Even if he doesn't mess with the command, don't toss around a bit.

Leave the matter of commanding the war to professionals, and perhaps the Yanyun Sixteen States have already been in the bag of the Song Dynasty.

He has great ambition and few talents, but he is very happy with his achievements.

For Zhao Guangyi, Yang Yansi really couldn't feel a little bit of admiration and admiration in his heart.

Earlier, on the way back from Cochin's retreat, Yang Yansi emptied Hou Renbao, and even secretly took control of the military power.

Why did they let Hou Renbao and Wang Shen jump up and down after returning to the camp?

There is no other reason, but because after returning to the camp, someone came from Beijing and sent him a letter.

The letter was sent to him by Cao Bin.

There were two pieces of paper in the letter, one of which mentioned that Yang Yansi had previously sent back the memorial to impeach Hou Renbao, but it was kept unpublished.At the same time, Yang Yansi was warned not to get involved in Hou Renbao's military strategy.

On another piece of paper, there are four large characters written on it.

It was also the reason why Cao Bin warned him not to interfere with Hou Renbao's military affairs.

"I will defend from it."

What do these four words mean?

It means that the generals do not have any autonomy in fighting outside, and all combat methods, combat methods, and combat tasks are determined by the emperor.

Ganqing's marching route and combat methods in this crusade against Jiaozhi were all commanded by Zhao Guangyi.

Playing remote command?
An emperor who doesn't know soldiers, playing remote command?
Are you kidding me?
This is less reliable than Zhao Kuo's paper talk, right?

Almost from the moment he got Cao Bin's letter, Yang Yansi understood.

It was not Hou Renbao who really disregarded human life, but Zhao Guangyi who commanded remotely from behind.

For a moment, Yang Yansi really had the urge to rise up.

It would be strange for the undead to encounter such a 'British Lord' at Jiangmen.

Yang Yansi can conclude that when Zhao Guangyi was in court, the Yang family might not be the only one who killed generals.

What the hell, the brothers treat you as the boss, and you treat the brothers as characters in the game?

It's okay to send a few out and play with the remote control?
It's okay if he is a master, but he is still an operator at the elementary school level in the art of war.

Such an emperor, working hard for him, Yang Yansi felt his liver hurt.

If it wasn't for the reputation of the Yang family's loyalty, Yang Yansi would have rebelled at this very moment.

Since it is temporarily impossible to rebel.

Then you must speed up the pace of your plan.

Save enough capital to make the Yang family as solid as gold.

In case he gives birth to an unfilial son in the future and raises an army to rebel, he will be able to help him at that time.

He promised Huyan Chijin not to rebel, but he didn't promise his son not to rebel.

Anyway, in the name of loyalty and righteousness of the Yang family, he is bound to preserve it.

As for what the next generation will do, he doesn't care.

I can't help my father.

This was what Yang Ye said to him personally.

He will also teach this sentence to his son intact.

Maybe, in the future, he will be like Li Yuan, sitting in a luxurious palace, sighing and crying a few times in compassion.

After finishing the work, maybe wipe away the snot and tears, and pull Cao Lin and Huyan Chijin to live a shameless life together.

How tiring is rebellion?
How tiring is being an emperor?

How tiring is it to bear the notoriety of destroying the loyalty of the Yang family?

It is more appropriate to let his son do such a tiring thing.

Thinking of this, Yang Yansi couldn't help praising his wit.

However, he smiled at Huyan Chijin's room, and strode back to his own room.

The next morning.

Xie Tao was summoned to Yang Yansi's residence.

Yang Yansi met him in the main hall.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Yang Yansi asked Xie Tao to sit down, and asked with a slightly solemn expression: "Xie Tao, was it true what you said earlier about being loyal to me?"

Hearing this, Xie Tao stood up abruptly, clasped his fists, and said excitedly, "Your official is promoted by your lord, and you will also depend on your lord for your future career. This official must be loyal to your lord."

Yang Yansi waved his hands and said with a smile: "I have no doubts about your loyalty, just sit down and talk."

Xie Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down slowly, seeing Yang Yansi staring at him with a smile, he was also taken aback.

Rolling his eyes, he cautiously asked, "Is there anything your lord wants to hand over to the lower officials?"

"clever!"

Yang Yansi clapped his palms and said with a smile: "There is indeed one thing that needs you to do, but before you go to help this official, you have to do one thing first."

"what's up?"
