Chapter 474 It was he who did it first, so you can't blame me.
In the Bianliang, Tokyo, the main hall was almost gathered in the court. The voices of the people were as chaotic as the sumo wrestling ground, and the people were filled with people.
"Why did the fight start? Ah?"
"What should I do, what should I do!"
"How dare he be so bold that he offended the Liao people to such an extent?"
"How can I do it?"
"This son has always been a eccentric person. He also talks about the children of sages and top talents. Look at the good things he has done. How can he have a peaceful day to sleep in such a big battle?"
"The creatures are suffering, the creatures are suffering!"
"Gan Daojian, a yellow-mouthed child, a man with such a heavy trust in the court, he can do this..."
"I am ashamed of my ancestors, I am ashamed of my ancestors. In the past, Emperor Zhenzong, for the sake of the Chanyuan Alliance, I don't know how many soldiers were stained with blood on the battlefield, and I don't know how hard his Majesty Zhenzong was, and I don't know how hard his Majesty Zhenzong was, ruined, and the hard work of his predecessors was destroyed..."
There were civil and military officials in the court, some panic, some stumble, some slander, and even some white-haired crying. Sixty years ago, there were white-haired people who were still children at that time. After years of war, people were panic and finally lived a good life for a lifetime. They were about to get to the point of being in a daze. They had to experience the panic of people when they were young, and they cried for ancestors and Zhenzong. It was not uncomprehensible.
Emperor Zhao Zhen on the high platform also looked worried and panicked. Even though he had heard Gan Qi's bold words of war before, even if he knew that Gan Qi had planned a lot, even if he knew that Yan Yun of the Liao Kingdom was also in civil strife at this time, even if he was an emperor who had a 8,000-mile turmoil, he was a little sacred at this time.
At today's court meeting, even the eunuch Li Xian said "to go to court" and there was a lot of porridge in the court.
Prime Minister Fu Bi was also pale at this time. He had never thought about the situation of going to war with the Liao Kingdom. He had never even thought about Gan Qi's courage to do such a thing. He was also a person who had been on the Liao Kingdom. The purpose of his mission was to not meet with wars no matter what. Not to mention whether he was judging others by himself, no one in the court had any normal minds.
Zeng Gongliang was shocked, but first said: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, be noisy, and be noisy, you must be discussing things as if you are talking about things."
"If you discuss matters, what else should you discuss? I will issue an order to Gan Daojian, and I will issue an order to stop the war and send envoys to Liao Kingdom as soon as possible. We must stop the war from expanding. We should take peace as the most important thing, and peace as the most important thing!"
"Yes, for the sake of this plan, we must quickly issue an order to Gan Daojian to mediate first, and the court should also send envoys to Liao Kingdom as soon as possible."
Everyone was talking and talking nonsense. Zeng Gongliang was very upset when he heard this and shouted: "If the court has lost its limits so much, how can we deal with this matter? What are you anxious about? Didn't this say in military information? Didn't Gan Daojian win a battle?"
"Can you believe this? He Gan Daojian defeated 30,000 Liao troops with a few thousand troops? He Gan Daojian's crime is unforgivable. At this time, he dares to lie about military information. After this matter, he will definitely punish Gan Daojian severely."
"Gan Daojian, relying on His Majesty's trust, his wife is the princess, and his relatives, he will act against the emperor and his country, and he will be punished severely!"
To say that the literati of the Song Dynasty were really tough, this seems to be saying Gan Qi, but in fact it was just a criticism of the emperor and pointed the finger at the emperor.
Emperor Zhao Shu naturally spoke: "This cannot be completely blamed on Gan Qi. Gan Qi made it clear in the report. It was not Gan Qi's cause to start a war. He went to give gifts. More than a thousand cars of wealth and property were delivered to the other side. How could he know that the Liao people would suddenly attack? No matter how stupid he was, he could not bring more than a thousand cars of wealth and property and several thousand horses across the river to fight the Liao people. How could this be blamed on Gan Daojian? If you want to blame, blame the Liao people for hiding evil intentions. This time, the Liao people wanted our dynasty. The people who used rash weapons were not Gan Qi, but the Liao people with hiding evil intentions!"
"Your Majesty has reached this time and he still talks. Aren't these things all caused by Gan Qi? If it weren't for Gan Qi, wouldn't the Liao people have an excuse to tear up the covenant? How could they raise an army to fight in this matter?" This was said by Fu Bi.
"Your Majesty does not have to say anything about Gan Daojian, he must be responsible for this matter!"
Zhao Shu was very guilty. This was a sin that was unknown. Who said Gan Qi was his brother-in-law? Who said Gan Qi had such a big mess? But Zhao Shu still had to speak: "The matter was far from so critical. The Liao people were hiding evil intentions, but this first step was that Gan Qi defeated the conspiracy. The Liao people failed in the initial battle, so it would not be too difficult to mediate."
"Your Majesty, how can you believe the military information sent by Gan Qi? Who knows whether he really won a victory or wanted to relieve his guilt? His report said that he won the battle with 8,000 Liao people in the first battle, or fought on the north bank of the Juma River. This is not credible. Perhaps at this time, Gan Qi was surrounded by the Liao army in Xiongzhou City and was afraid. Besides, the Liao people gathered more than 100,000 troops on the north bank of the Juma River, claiming to be a 700,000 army. How could he give up because of the defeat in the battle?"
This is Fu Bi's words. At this time, it was not that he had to go against Gan Qi, but according to his understanding, the Song and Liao dynasties had not fought any wars, and the Liao army was not made by mud. Moreover, according to Gan Qi's statement, the Liao people were prepared for their own thoughts. Gan Qi hurriedly crossed the river to give gifts and caught him off guard. Where is the reason to defeat the more with less?
Fu Bi was really thinking about the country at this time. If he believed Gan Qi's lies, he would be afraid that Gan Qi would be defeated thousands of miles away and the court would not have time to react.
But Zeng Gongliang spoke: "The rich husband cannot say that this is unreliable."
"What? Zeng Xiagong believed so much that he was strange. Could it be that Zeng Xiagong saw it with his own eyes?" Fu Bi asked.
Zeng Gongliang really spoke, "I know the exact situation in Xiongzhou, and there is no difference between Gan Daojian's report!"
"How dare you assert this way?" Fu Bi asked continuously.
"Do you rich and honest still remember who sent the imperial edict from Your Majesty before?" Zeng Gongliang asked.
When Fu Bi thought about it, he remembered that the previous imperial edict was sent by Zeng Gongliang's son Zeng Xiaokuan? Fu Bi hurriedly asked, "Have your son returned to Beijing?"
Zeng Gongliang nodded: "Xiao Kuan is back."
"How did he talk about Xiongzhou? Tell me quickly and listen to it!" Fu Bi was really concerned about the real situation in Xiongzhou, and this was not fake.
"My son has just come back. Just when the bell of the imperial city was ringing, my son was talking to me about Xiongzhou at home." Zeng Gongliang said this and stopped, waiting for everyone in front of him to completely quiet. After he turned his eyes to himself, Zeng Gongliang continued to speak: "My son said that when he first arrived in Xiongzhou, he saw Gan Daojian leaving the city with more than a thousand cars of wealth."
"Is there really more than a thousand cars of wealth?" Fu Bi seemed to believe it.
"It's true. My son also described the scene at that time. The frame stretched for several miles. There were discussions in Xiongzhou City, discussing the fact that Gan Daojian gave the Liao people so much respect."
"What's next?"
"Next, my son will go to the prefecture yard and wait for Gan Daojian to come back after sending the gift and announce the imperial edict to him. Before long, the news of fighting on the other side came. After Di Qing and Di Shumi learned the news, he immediately took more than 17,000 troops from Xiongzhou to cross the river to support. My son also rushed outside the city and was seeing Di Qing leading his troops north with his own eyes."
Someone immediately continued: "Yes, yes, yes, Di Qing followed Gan Qi to Hebei, but I still forgot about this."
For some reason, when Di Qing was in Hebei, someone immediately felt a little relieved. Di Qing, who was invincible in the northwest, seemed to bring some comfort to the court. However, it was the people in the court, and it was not that Zeng Gongliang said the name Di Qing at this time, and he could not remember that there was a person like Old Di Qing who could win battles in the world.
Zeng Gongliang continued, "It took not long before the other side of the shore that Gan Daojian won the victory. At first, my son didn't believe it. If it weren't for frequent military soldiers coming back from the other side to transport food, grass and weapons, no one would have believed it. Gan Daojian had really won the battle on the other side in a hurry. My son was still at the gate of the city to stop the military soldiers coming and going, and those military soldiers were happily telling the news of victory. How could there be fake? Gan Daojian occupied Guiyi City. In Xiongzhou, the frames for transporting food and weapons were continuously northward. Two or three thousand soldiers were transported back and forth, and all the things were transported to Guiyi City. How could this be fake?"
Everyone in the court looked at each other in a row. This matter was unreasonable. The 7,000 people who had rushed to fight defeated the 30,000 Liao troops who were ready and suddenly attacked? This matter was too unreasonable, but Zeng Gongliang's words were no longer a false statement, that was true.
That would be so shocking!
Zhao Shu was so excited when he heard Zeng Gongliang's words that he said a few words: "Okay, okay, okay, it's good to win. And the Liao people also know the power of my Song Dynasty. I see if they dare to ask me to cede land with him. Even if they occupy his Guiyi City, they will not return it. Gan Daojian, Gan Daojian is called a battle against the water, so he can win. Yes, a battle against the water, so he won, the Liao people were defeated, and the Liao people's conspiracy was also shattered."
Zhao Shu was very excited and even took the initiative to find a reasonable explanation for Gan Qi's victory. Gan Qi did not disappoint him again, and also relieved him of the crime of being unknown and nepotist who had just been crowned by others.
Gan Qi was also smart. He deliberately started this battle, but in the end he became the Liao people's ill-intention. Anyway, it was nothing to do with me. The Liao people started the battle first. I just went to give gifts. I happily rode a horse and sang songs. Under everyone's own eyes, I took more than a thousand cars of wealth and property to give gifts. Suddenly, I was beaten by the Liao people.
I, Gan Daojian, had a Liao army in front and Jimahe behind. I had no choice but to fight with my back and forth, and I couldn't kneel down and beg for mercy as a prisoner. I didn't expect that I would win. What can I do?
But Fu Bi immediately attacked Zhao Shu again: "Your Majesty, you must not be so optimistic. The Liao people are determined to start this battle. Maybe at first they just wanted to give me some color and want me to cede land with him. Now, now that the conspiracy is not enough, the Liao people will be angry. By the Giant Horse River, the Liao people gathered more than 100,000 troops and lost 30,000 people. Even if the Liao people have to regroup for their face, they will fight again. That is not a little color. If they continue like this, it will be a bloody battle between the two countries. Return to the situation before the Chanyuan Alliance. The battle with the whole country is dominated by the safety of the country. Not to mention the danger, there are many crises. There are still Dangxiang people in the northwest. Once the war in Hebei begins, how can Dangxiang people not take the opportunity to go south? For the current plan, we must find a way to stop the war, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Zhao Shu heard Fu Bi's words and said tentatively: "How about waiting for the news? Let's see how Gan Daojian handles this matter?"
Zhao Shu knew that Fu Bi was right, but he had different expectations for Gan Qi. Since he met Gan Qi, Gan Qi never disappointed him. According to common sense, the best solution to this matter is to reconcile both parties and regain Guiyi City that Gan Qi temporarily occupied to the Liao people. Both sides returned to their previous state and lived a safe and stable life.
However, Zhao Shu unconsciously had some expectations for Gan Qi, so he couldn't help but think about some luck. Can he not return the Guiyi City he had taken to the Liao people? He treated Guiyi City as a sharp blade inserted into the hearts of the Liao people, so that the Liao people would never dare to act rashly again? In this case, he would have enough face and face, and the Song Dynasty took a big advantage this time. Emperor Zhao Shu, as his emperor, also wanted to record a great victory in the battle with the Liao people in history books.
As for how to prevent Guiyi City from returning, you will naturally find a way, such as defending Guiyi City to the death and repelling the Liao people's army in Guiyi City, leaving the Liao people helpless. After all, the city is always easy to defend. At that time, the Liao people are helpless, wouldn't it still shake hands and make peace?
"Your Majesty, you can't wait any longer. If you wait any longer, even if the Liao people just want to face, they will dispatch troops and generals everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of troops heading south, then they will really never die. How many troops can Gan Daojian have? In addition, Di Qing's support army is less than 30,000. Should they really send hundreds of thousands of troops from all over the country to aid Gan Qi? Let's not say that the creatures are suffering. Before the troops move, food and grass will come first, hundreds of thousands of troops will be spent. Where can they raise them?" Fu Bi is seeking truth from facts. This court can't stand a war of such a scale.
Fu Bi's words also brought Zhao Shu back to reality. Zhao Shu licked his lips and felt a little dry. The Liao Kingdom is still the powerful Liao Kingdom, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops. No matter how much he expects Gan Qi, he cannot expect Gan Qi to confront hundreds of thousands of troops with 20,000 to 30,000 people.
Zhao Shu extinguished his energy and asked, "How did Zeng Xiang think?"
Zeng Gongliang replied: "Your Majesty, since Gan Daojian has gained some advantages at this time, it is a good opportunity for Yanhe. Such a bad thing has become a good thing. The Khitans' death in Bianliang was also exposed. There is no need to cede land or pay compensation. In terms of face, our court won a victory, and everyone was very happy."
Zeng Gongliang is also pragmatic. If he really wants to fight the Liao Kingdom like he did a nationwide battle like he did a few decades ago, the court is really powerless. What's more, there is a Dangxiang wolf in the northwest. How could the Dangxiang people in the Western Xia miss such a good opportunity? Comprehensive consideration, it is safest to speak and reconcile.
Zhao Shu nodded and was also discouraged. However, after hearing Zeng Gongliang's words, he felt that he had made a profit. The Khitans were beaten to death in Bianliang City perfectly resolved. He won another battle in terms of face. After the words and harmony, although he had to return Guiyi City to the Liao people, it seemed that it was really good. He took the initiative to speak up and show his style as a great country, and could also shock the Dangxiang people, so that the Dangxiang people knew that the army of the Song Dynasty was still so capable of fighting.
After thinking so much, he could accept it. Zhao Shu said, "Then quickly send Zeng Xiang's son to Guiyi to pass the imperial edict. When the Taoist scholar is ready, he should stop and mediate it well."
When the people in the court heard the emperor say this, they all relaxed. When they came in just now, they were panicked, shouting, scolding, and crying. At this time, many people were a little happy on their faces.
It's also a wonder.
"Your Majesty's wise!"
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Shengming, Zhao Shu also laughed. It was rare that all the civil and military officials bowed and shouted "Shengming". This was the first time Zhao Shu had received such treatment since ascended the throne.
After discussing the matter in Tokyo City, the imperial edict was prepared quickly. Zeng Xiaokuan once again rushed to Hebei, asking Gan Qi to stop the war and mediate.
But who knew that in just a few days after the letter came and went, Gan Qi had already arrived at Yanjing City, and was separated from the Liao emperor in Yanjing City by a wall.
Stop the war and mediate?
That is impossible.
Even Gan Qi had already taken a car out of the camp. Not only did Gan Qi leave the camp, but Gan Qi also used the frames to transport food and grass from Guiyi to transport more than 10,000 people out of the camp.
This is a secret trip to Chencang, and I don’t want to be known to people in Yanjing City. So the frame is filled with grain and grass and goes into the camp. In the middle of the night, people are arranged to get into the car and be transported out.
But only ten thousand people were transported away, because Ganqi also had to ensure that the camp still looked full.
In order to secretly travel to Chen Cang, Di Qing, who stayed in the camp, sent more people to patrol the city outside the city. The four gates were even more stared at. He did not teach anyone who could enter and exit Yanjing City, and tried his best to block the news.
The 100,000 Liao troops who returned from Luanzhou were rushing to Yanjing to rescue him. There were countless bandits following behind him, and naturally more bandits were following.
Di Yong did his best to do his best along the way, and his army was getting bigger and bigger.
A hundred miles east of Yanjing City, it is Lu County, and later Tong County. There is a large area in the south of Lu County, called Yanfangdian.
The term "Dian" means shallow lakes or wetlands. The most famous "Dian" in the country is Baiyangdian.
Yanfangdian is a wetland, and there is still Yanfangdian Wetland Park in later generations. However, the Yanfangdian Wetland in later generations is not big, with only more than 1,000 hectares and about 20,000 acres.
However, Yanfangdian was different in the Liao Dynasty. According to the "History of Liao·Geographical Records", Yanfangdian in the Liao Dynasty was hundreds of miles in radius, covering later generations of Qiangxian, Langfang edge, Caiyu, Majuqiao, Dayangfang, and Dayangfang. The place names of Dayangfang came from Yanfangdian. Dayangfang was formerly called Yangfangdian, which was the homonym of Yanfangdian.
Yanfangdian, which is a radius of hundreds of miles, is a hunting ground for the Emperors of the Liao Kingdom. Historical records show that if the Emperors of the Liao Kingdom lived in Yanjing, they would go east and reach Yanfangdian not far away. The most prey in Yanfangdian are countless birds, swans, geese, and wild ducks. The Emperors of the Liao Kingdom liked to come here to hunt these big birds the most.
