Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 170 Genghis Khan kills someone with a borrowed knife

Sometimes, people often don't know the so-called truth. They just need a target to hate and a target to despise.

This time when the Song Dynasty was defeated, they had to have someone to vent to, someone to take responsibility for the defeat. Of course, the death of the coach Du Gao was not enough, nor was the supervisor who had his eyes gouged out.

Then there is only Zhao Fan.

Half a month later, under the pressure of the country's intellectual talents and the reviling of the common people, Song Emperor Zhao Yun had no choice but to issue a hasty decree to dismiss Zhao Fan, who had just withdrawn to Sichuan, for investigation and demote him to a commoner.

Even so, it still could not quell the scolding of the literati in the Jiangnan area. These literati continued to write letters to the emperor, saying that thieves harmed the country and warriors harmed the country.

But Song Emperor Zhao Yun was not a fool. During this period, Minister Shi Miyuan also conducted various investigations, which proved that Zhao Fan's intelligence was accurate and there was no siege by 10,000+ Mongolian troops.

It was not the 5000 Mongolian cavalry that Zhao Fan said, but only more than [-]. Just a partial division of [-] Mongolian cavalry defeated the [-] Song army.

The 10,000+ Mongolian army was completely fabricated by Liu Yuming, and he was talking nonsense. But the problem is.

All the literati, a large number of civil servants, and even ordinary people actually believed this version of the rumor, as if it was absolutely impossible for a literati to lie to others.

They always believed that the 5000 elite troops of the Song Dynasty could never lose to the Mongolian army of more than [-] people. They must have faced several times the enemy, and the Iron Army of the Song Dynasty had no choice but to be defeated.

Even if the ironclad evidence is placed in front of them, they are not willing to believe it. How could a scholar-official who has read the books of sages wrongly accuse a military commander and a common man?

Can what happened to the scholar be considered a frame-up?

Therefore, it must be the military commanders who misled the country and made these military commanders support themselves.

"My dear! General Zhao was originally innocent, and even saved these [-] troops. Why did the ministers force me to punish him?" Zhao Yun looked at Shi Miyuan and asked in confusion.

"Officials! Now we can only temporarily aggrieve General Zhao. After a few years, you can re-enable it after the limelight has passed." Shi Miyuan said.

He also knew that it was exactly Liu Yubin who was making up nonsense and talking nonsense, but there was nothing he could do about it. This was the Song Dynasty, and the law did not harm the literati. Even if they talked nonsense all day long, the court could not do anything about them, and he himself was also unable to do anything about it. Civil servants.

In recent years, the imperial court has been very guarding military officers. Because of the continuous wars with the Jin Kingdom, and it is foreseeable in the future, the Song Dynasty will fall out with Mongolia sooner or later.

Therefore, the imperial court has trained and promoted a large number of military generals over the years, which caused a large number of civil servants to feel dissatisfied. This time, many civil servants also knew the truth, but they all chose to frame Zhao Fan with a tacit understanding.

Now that he can save Zhao Fan's life, just demoting him to a commoner is the best he and the officials can do. Now these talented scholars want to eat his flesh and drink his blood!There are even many people among the people who are calling Shi Miyuan a traitorous minister.

But this is not an injustice to him, because now the entire Song Dynasty is indeed controlled by him. Even the current Emperor of Song Dynasty only ascended to Dabao with his support.

"I can only aggrieve General Zhao. My dear, please send someone to send more gold and silver to General Zhao, and then inform him of my difficulties. After a few years, I will use him again.

Tell him not to worry, just stay at home and recuperate in peace in the past few years, and the court will not give him any less of his salary. "Zhao Yun said.

"Our emperor is kind, General Zhao will definitely thank you for his kindness." Shi Miyuan said.

Zhang Yong, Genghis Khan, Wo Kuotai and other Mongolian generals who were far away in Xiliang City also received news from the Song Dynasty.

This news made all the Mongolian generals feel extremely funny.

"Hahaha! Zhang Yong, did you hear that? People said that you and I led an army of 10,000+ to surround their [-]-strong army!

Could this 10,000+ army be conjured up by a magic trick between you and me?They also said that we knew the magic and released the demon fire, hahaha! "Wokuotai said with a laugh while holding the news from the Song Dynasty.

"Yes! This bunch of Ziwen people didn't find any problems with themselves throughout the whole process. They lost anyway. Everything was the enemy's conspiracy, not that they were useless." Zhang Yong shook his head helplessly and said.

He really didn't expect that the civilian supervisor who had his eyes gouged out and tattooed on his face and chest and sent back would actually make such an unexpected assist.

Damn it, your own people are attacking your own people, what you guys are really doing in the Southern Song Dynasty is sneaking around!
You are truly your own person!
"We clearly only have 5000 people, but the generals on the front line sent the information back, and the civil servants actually changed the number to 10,000+ people. The Song Kingdom is not as good as the Jin Kingdom!" Genghis Khan was also amused after receiving this information. I really didn’t expect that there would be such ridiculous things in this world.

They can make them say that the black people are white. There are obviously less than 2 people, but they actually say that there are 10,000+ people.

The reason for doing this was actually just to regain some face for the Song State, to regain some face for these civil servants, and to find some reasons for failure.

If you win, you win, if you lose, you lose. Even though you were killed in a big defeat, you still have to deceive your own people, find various excuses, and find various reasons. Anyway, you lost this battle, not mine. reason.

Moreover, the emperor of the Song Dynasty actually believed these words and dismissed the leading Song generals. This matter was simply unimaginable in their Mongolian country, and even in the Jin Kingdom, it was unimaginable.

"Hahaha! In my opinion, these Song literati are the biggest worms in their country."

"Hahaha! This is so ridiculous. This Song Dynasty general has obviously made no mistakes, yet he is being punished like this." A large group of Mongolian generals began to talk nonsense.

This matter is indeed incomprehensible to the Mongols. If a military general suffered such huge humiliation, then they would have every reason to betray their monarch.

"Bhan! This is actually a good thing. For you and us, this is a good thing!" Zhang Yong smiled and said.

"We are just watching the fun, what does this have to do with us?" Wo Kuotai said.

"Yes! This is Song's own business. How can it be a good thing for us?"

"Zhang Yong, what you mean is that these Song people have withdrawn their troops. When we attack Linzhao Mansion, we only have to deal with the Jin Kingdom, so it is a good thing, right?" Genghis Khan asked after thinking for a moment.

"This is just one of the big sweats!" Zhang Yong said.

"I understand. What you, Zhang Yong, mean is that this general suffered such great humiliation in the Song Dynasty. Maybe we can send someone to persuade Xiangyu to join us in Mongolia." Wo Kuotai He clapped his hands and spoke.

In his understanding, if a military general suffered such a huge injustice, he should hate his monarch very much. As long as he is willing to accept him, as long as his mind is normal, he should be willing to surrender to their Mongolian country.

"No! These Song generals will not surrender even if their monarch wants to kill them.

Because the idea they have received since childhood is that they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, the emperor of heaven and earth is their master, and the emperor is above all else, even above their parents. The so-called emperor wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, even if the ministers have no fault, they will die.

Just like Yue Fei who attacked the Jin Kingdom, he knew that he would be dead when he returned, but he still wanted to explain to his emperor that his descendants did not rebel or anything.

Instead, they were waiting for their father to be vindicated. At this time, as long as the emperor of the Song Dynasty opened his mouth, they would be satisfied.

As for revenge, how is that possible?The emperor is always right, he is just deceived by villains and treacherous ministers. "Zhang Yong said.

This is the terrible thing about Confucianism. Why can Confucianism rule feudal society for more than 2000 years?
Because Confucianism is too convenient for rulers to rule the common people.

The West chose religious rule, while the East chose Confucianism. This is not without reason.

People who appear under such an education system are die-hard loyalists who are loyal to the court and the emperor above all else. Those who are willing to surrender and know that they have only one life will be infamy for the ages.

For example, when the emperors of successive dynasties judged Yue Fei's case.

They would all tacitly shift all the blame to Qin Hui, and would not say that the emperor of the Song Dynasty made mistakes at all.

Because they are all emperors and must maintain imperial power, but does the problem really lie with Qin Hui?
You must know that at the beginning, Qin Hui was a staunch fighter!
Who was the person above him who was instructing him?It was Prince Kang of a certain Wanyan family.

It was a certain King Kang who wanted Yihe, and Yue Fei was under the banner of welcoming the two emperors Hui Hui and Qin.

These two are back, and he is King Kang again.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Song and Liao also called each other brotherly countries, but the emperor of Liao was the younger brother and the emperor of the Song Dynasty was the older brother.Only the Southern Song Dynasty was equally humiliated whether it faced Xixia, Jin or Mongolia.

Zhang Yong remembers that before time travel, some people on the Internet said that the Song Dynasty's army had a winning rate of 80% in foreign wars, which was the highest among all dynasties. These were actually marketing accounts.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the performance was indeed good, and there were wins and losses with Liao and Xixia, but by the Southern Song Dynasty, it was simply incomparable.

Moreover, most of his external victories were defensive battles, and he almost never won any war abroad. The only generals who had won were dismissed and investigated, such as Yue Fei.

"You kid, don't show off. If you have anything to say, just say it directly!" Genghis Khan said.

His idea just now was the same as Wo Kuotai's, that he could recruit these generals who were harmed by the Song Dynasty, but Zhang Yong seemed to have other intentions.

"Great Khan! We can use these civilian officials to supervise the army. If we catch them in the future, we must not kill them, for example, let them hear something deliberately.

They said that their generals were in secret contact with us and conspired with us to surrender, and then created an accident to make these civilian officials run back without us taking action.

The Song Dynasty will kill its generals by itself. We can completely use the hands of these civil servants to get rid of all these generals who can recruit good generals.

When the time comes and we replace these civilian officials as generals, we can easily defeat them. Even if the situation goes bad, they themselves will surrender. "Zhang Yong said.

At the last moment of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, except for a few civil servants such as Wen Tianxiang, they maintained their last integrity.

Most of the state generals and civil servants opened their city gates and surrendered to Mongolia.

Literati attach great importance to integrity, but they are often the ones who surrender. They say, "I am here to protect the lives and property of the people in the city."

Anyway, even if you surrender, you have to find a suitable reason for yourself.

As the saying goes, those who are righteous are not likely to slaughter dogs, but those who are unfaithful are those who are scholars. This is not just talk!
When Genghis Khan heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.

"You're right, kid. The most brilliant tactic is to win a war without letting soldiers fight. But how to implement this specifically?" Genghis Khan asked.

He likes to hear the specific process and doesn't like to listen to other people's big words, so he must know the specific operation process.

"Great Khan! During the Warring States Period, Qin and Zhao had always been enemies. Lian Po and Zhao Mu, the famous generals of Zhao, were famous generals who defended Qin.

The Qin State sent troops many times but could not defeat them, so it resorted to a counterintuitive trick and sent people to bribe the scholar-bureaucrats of the Zhao State, and then framed the two of them.

Let King Zhao destroy the pillar of the country with his own hands.

Outside the battlefield, the two biggest enemies were eliminated. "Zhang Yong said.

More than once, there was also Zhao Kuo, who was talking on paper. If Qin could not defeat Lian Po, then it could ask the other party to find someone easier to fight.

"I roughly understand what you mean. This is a good strategy." Genghis Khan nodded thoughtfully and said.

This strategy sounds good, but it is not so easy to implement. For example, when dealing with the Kingdom of Jin, the emperor and ministers of the Kingdom of Jin were not as easy to deceive as the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the military generals of the Jin Kingdom had a very high status, unlike the Song Kingdom where civilian officials could suppress the generals at will.

But this move is indeed a good strategy to deal with the Song State. You can use this move when you attack the Song State in the future.

Let Song State deal with some of the more difficult generals on their own.

At that time, the specific implementation plan will be handled by Zhang Yong. Since you proposed this strategy, it is up to you to implement it!

The Mongols are really not good at this trick. They are better at defeating the enemy head-on on the battlefield.

"Khan! This is just a rough plan. When it is implemented, it needs to be determined according to the situation and the method of implementation needs to be selected based on the goal." Zhang Yong said.

Sometimes defeating your opponent away from the battlefield is the most perfect victory.

"Well! If I can meet such a general, such a powerful general, then I will leave it to you to deal with, but I don't think I can meet such a person." Genghis Khan said very confidently.

This is the self-confidence of Genghis Khan. Since the establishment of the Great Mongolia, he has never encountered an opponent at all, and no general can give him a headache.

"Zhang Yong! Will you come with me to the capital of Xixia this time?" Genghis Khan asked.

This time, Xixia should be able to be completely defeated. If Xixia still fails to abide by the agreement and is unwilling to leave the city and surrender, then he will have even more reason to massacre them.

"Khan! I'll go with you." Zhang Yong said.

In fact, there are quite a lot of things that I have to deal with in Xiliang Mansion. After all, this is my own territory.

But this time Xixia surrendered, he still wanted to see it.

After all, he wanted to ensure that Genghis Khan would not be murdered by a certain Xixia concubine. Although this was just an unofficial story, he still wanted to ensure that it would not happen.

And even if there is not a certain Xixia concubine, just in case the sweat gets you interested.

It would not be good to take someone hunting and then be frightened by some wild donkey or the like, causing your mount to fall off.

In this case, it would be the same as the original history. Tuo Lei should be imprisoned for two years. By then, life for himself and Wokuotai would not be easy!
Now Tuo Lei and Wo Kuotai have completely broken up, and now both of them want to kill each other.

Once Tuo Lei takes power, Zhang Yong knows with his ass that he will definitely kill himself and Wogotai.

The last time I proposed to Genghis Khan the opinion of the Khan of Khans, the Khan of Heaven, I don’t know what the Great Khan thought about it.

Do you want to become the Supreme Emperor yourself, the Khan of Heaven?

And then pass the position of Great Khan of Mongolia to Ogedai in advance?
Only when Ogedai ascends the throne of Mongolian Khan can he feel completely relieved.

"Actually, it won't be long. After I finish dealing with Xixia, it's time for me to attack the Guanzhong area. I originally wanted you to stay and produce more explosive packs, which will be needed when I attack the Kingdom of Jin." Genghis Khan said.

This time, I mobilized a large amount of war resources, but not many of them were actually used on Xixia. The war went much smoother than I thought.

Not long ago, good news came from Tuo Lei. Under the bombardment of explosive packs, the walls of the sandbank collapsed, and now he has captured them.

According to his order, Genghis Khan, except for the craftsmen and some young women, all the other old and weak people were slaughtered.

"Profuse sweat! Even if I stay now, I don't have enough raw materials, and the gunpowder craftsmen can prepare it themselves. I have taught them all the methods of making explosive bags." Zhang Yong said.

"Okay! Then you go back and pack your things, and you will set off with me in a few days. We will go to accept Xixia's surrender together." Genghis Khan said.

After bidding farewell to Genghis Khan, Zhang Yong returned to his city lord's palace and began to explain some things.

The first is the issue of food. The [-] to [-] victims coming from the Central Plains will arrive in a few months. You must prepare enough food.

These people all have to eat, there are tens of thousands of mouths!
