Chapter 21 Ups and downs should be self-evident, offensive and defensive advance and retreat need the enemy
After introducing everyone present to Yantang, the two of them were seated.
Marshal Han turned to King Yun for instructions: "Fan Yishi has agreed to join the group and work together to resist the gold thieves. I hope Qian Sui will tell me how to dispatch them."
King Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine. Marshal Han has been on the battlefield for a long time and is resourceful. He has always taken charge of the overall situation and coordinated major events. I am used to doing nothing. How Yantang sends orders should be decided by the Marshal. But Yantang
I am not a member of the imperial court, and today I am even more uninvited. Since I am a member of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, I should express my gratitude for your generosity. I am also a master uncle, and it is my duty to rely on my elders for unkind things.
Strong self-delegation.”
After saying that, he left his seat and walked slowly to Yan Tang. He stared at the nephew he had just met in front of him. With indescribable tenderness and kindness, Yan Tang's heart moved: "This King Yun has a profound mind, but he is the best in the world."
A person of true love."
King Yun said slowly: "All of us here are always fighting against gold in the golden realm. The so-called grabbing chestnuts from the fire, snatching the cubs from the tiger's den, taking risks with one's own body, and licking the blood with the blade of the knife are all undercover activities. The Song Dynasty is lucky today, and this matter has
Marshal Han and General Li are in charge, and Dong Xian, Li Bao, Zhang Rong, and Ma Kuo each have their own duties. General Dong is responsible for spying on the enemy's military defense, border preparations, troops, government orders, and military aircraft files, and General Li is responsible for strict defense.
Jin, Xia and other countries infiltrated spies into the Song Dynasty. General Ma was responsible for mastering the secret instructions of the undercover spies sent, and General Zhang was responsible for secretly liaising with the commander of the anti-Jin rebels north of the Huai River. This is what Marshal Han has just given you.
Yes, I will say it again so that you can distinguish it clearly and remember it firmly.
"Between these generals and Marshal Han, there is also General Dang Chunhu and Dang General who are the intermediaries to communicate up and down. The above is easy to say, but it is done by the brothers with great hardships and dangers.
"You are the most familiar with Chunmu. Brother Dang is suffering from serious illness and is increasingly unfit for the hard work of travel. Therefore, he was recommended by Brother Dang and selected by Marshal Han to replace Brother Dang.
"One more thing is that there are two children who need to be taught martial arts by you. Xin Wenyu and Li Chengjin are both the sons of senior brother Guan Sheng, and you are both senior brothers in our sect. Xin Wenyu has a son named Qiji, who is six years old this year and is very smart.
, his aptitudes are extremely good, and his talents in both civil and military affairs can be developed. I once observed secretly when I had time, and it is indeed the case. You have seen the son of brother Dang. He is a little older, already twelve years old, but he is good at writing but not good at writing.
Martial arts, how to teach martial arts, you and your party brothers can discuss it carefully.
"A few days ago, Wen Yu and Cheng Jin went to assassinate the traitor Liu Yu. It was very dangerous, but luckily they succeeded with one blow. Since then, they have been undercover next to Wanyan Liang, King of Hailing, and Wanyan Yong, King of Ge respectively.
"Wanyan Liang, King Hailing of the Jin Kingdom, was the second son of Zonggan, the eldest son of Wanyan Aguda's concubine. He was a genius since childhood, profound and sage, with a quiet demeanor and a majestic figure. He also admired Chinese culture and made friends with the Liao and Song Dynasty people who lived in Jin.
A celebrity with a good reputation in the clan. King Ge Wanyan Yongze is the son of Zongfu, the third son of Aguda. He is tall and tall, has a calm and sensible personality, is generous, and ranks first among the Jin people in horse riding and archery. He will follow him when he is older.
His uncles fought everywhere and were highly praised. Their talents were no different from Wan Yanliang, but their prestige was even greater. These two are also the grandsons of Aguda, and they are both very powerful characters. One is very competitive, and the other is.
Gentle and kind-hearted, both civil and military, with outstanding abilities, they are bound to become a threat to the Song Dynasty in the future. Now they are deeply feared by Wanyan Gan, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. At this time, people are arranged to be undercover by his side, and sooner or later he will be able to grasp his movements, and even
You can stab and kill them at critical moments.
"Think of Wanyan Aguda, who was so talented and powerful that he swept across the world. At that time, he took his five sons Zongqian, Zongwang, Zongfu, Zongjun, Zongbi, Wu Qimai, and Xieye together with his three brothers to lead the clan's descendant Zong.
Han, Lou Shi, Yin Shuke, Xi Yin, Ang, Oru, Ba Lisu and other dozens of Jurchen generals and warriors led two to three thousand people to rise up. Within ten or twenty years, the three armies used their lives to destroy the Liao Dynasty and attack the Song Dynasty, almost sweeping the country.
The world.
"It's pitiful that the Song Dynasty is unaware of the ferocity of the Jin Kingdom, let alone that its century-old kingdom has declined and its military equipment has been weakened. It is greedy to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, but it ignores the principle of death and coldness and gives up on peace with the Liao Dynasty for hundreds of years.
In a situation where there is nothing to do, Lian Jin destroys it, which leads to the disaster of Jingkang. The whole country is completely defeated and all lives are in ruins. It is really sad and lamentable.
"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are certainly the barrier of the Central Plains. Later Jin Shi Jingtangxian dedicated them to the Liao Kingdom. All the Central Plains dynasties dreamed of regaining them, so that I rashly entered into a maritime alliance with Jin to jointly attack Liao. The Song Dynasty won the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.
The land and the Jin's taxes were transferred to the Liao Dynasty. The two sides agreed that the Jin State would be responsible for attacking Shangjing and Zhongjing of the Liao State, and the Song Dynasty would attack Nanjing. As a result, the Jin State successively captured Shangjing and Zhongjing, and finally jointly captured the cities that should have been captured by me.
Nanjing. We were unable to conquer Liao and achieved nothing in the battle. Not only was there no hope of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but the fact that the whole country was vulnerable was also exposed. Then we lost ground in the matter of Zhang Jue's departure and retention when Liao surrendered, which again caused Guo Guo's defeat.
The pharmacist drops gold. Many things are full of errors and omissions, and he is tired of dealing with them. This is because he does not know himself well and cannot predict the enemy well.
"Thus, I was attacked by Jin Qingguo. Jin Wanyanxie was also the marshal of the capital, Zong Wang was the deputy commander of the East Road, and Zong Han was the deputy commander of the West Road. The offensive was like breaking bamboo, all the way to the Yellow River and the gate of Kaifeng City. The Great Song Dynasty
The entire resistance situation was in disarray, and defense and maintenance was difficult. What else?? But he entrusted the important task of river defense to the "River God". He entered the Jin camp without any plan, but resolutely asked Emperor Jingkang to return to the enemy camp, and finally trapped the entire royal family in the enemy's hands.
.”
King Yun's voice was low, and he slowly told the general situation of the Jingkang disaster. Everyone here held their breaths. The Jingkang disaster was an unspeakable pain for the Song Dynasty, and it was a great shame and humiliation for the royal family. Although it happened not long ago, everyone knew about it.
Details, but it was never mentioned to King Yun. Today, they were all surprised when King Yun suddenly mentioned it in person. They guessed that it must have something to do with Yantang joining the gang today, and there was a reason for it.
King Yun said again: "Since the covenant between the Song and Jin Dynasties was broken, the two sides fought against each other and turned the country against each other. The decision was not only in the city and the countryside, but also in the temple. The decision was in the city and the countryside. The Jin people are good at riding and shooting, and their soldiers are numerous. They are thousands and invincible. Since one
Since the rise of the two thousand people, we have gone through hundreds of battles. We, the Song Dynasty and Liao Xia, have covenants in hand and have enjoyed a hundred years of peace. Our soldiers have languished, our good generals have withered, our hearts have become disorganized, and our armaments have been weakened. We are determined in the temple, and the top and bottom of the Jin Dynasty are united and the tiger is watching.
The world, having gained the Liao Dynasty, returned to the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty court was obsessed with redundant personnel, redundant troops, and redundant expenses. It was also too busy building Gen Mountains and conscripting flowers and stone outlines. The people were filled with resentment and the smoke of rebellion from all walks of life continued.
"Inheriting the great love of the late emperor, I was granted the title of Grand Tutor when I was young. I was promoted to the Imperial City Secretary in violation of the clan's customary rule of not receiving actual duties. I had to enter the forbidden provinces and was deeply involved in espionage and assassination inside and outside the imperial court. The Jingkang Disaster
At that time, he only had martial arts skills and could not achieve much among thousands of troops. When he was trapped, he repeatedly tried to rob the late emperor, but in the end, success or failure was so important that if he was exposed, the punishment for killing the remaining people would be too heavy, which was not appropriate.
Given the opportunity, he had no choice but to endure the humiliation and bear the burden and serve personally. He did not dare to show off his martial arts, and later he faked his death and escaped without leaving any trace.
"The Jingkang disaster has taught us a profound lesson. When I accompanied the late Emperor in his suffering, every time I talk about the mistakes in the past, political laxity is naturally the main reason, but it directly led to a complete defeat and irreversible disaster. Ignorance of oneself and the enemy is the chief culprit."
Yantang saw that King Yun's face was solemn when he spoke, and his eyes were filled with tears. He looked completely different from the lively and vigorous man he had just done. He knew that his family and state affairs were in great danger, and the suffering he suffered was inhuman, and since he was so affectionate, he couldn't help it.
Emotions surge.
King Yun calmed down for a moment, and then said: "Sun Tzu said in "Strategic Attack Chapter", 'If you know the enemy and know yourself, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles; if you don't know the enemy but know yourself, you will win and lose in one battle; if you don't know the enemy and don't know yourself, you will be in danger in every battle.' I am great.
The Song Dynasty suffered many defeats in the past because it suffered from not knowing the enemy and not knowing ourselves. But if we want to know ourselves and our enemies, we must do what we are planning to do today."
Everyone in the hall perked up when they heard King Yun's words get to the point, and listened more carefully.
King Yun raised his voice: "Sun Tzu once had a famous saying, 'Knowing the enemy must be gained from others.' 'Every time a hundred thousand troops are raised and a campaign is carried out for thousands of miles, the people's expense and the official's support cost thousands of gold a day; there is turmoil inside and outside, and neglect of the road,
There are 700,000 families who are not allowed to take action. They stay together for several years to fight for victory in one day. But those who love their titles and their wealth and do not know the enemy's feelings are extremely unkind. They are not a human general or a master's assistant.
He is not the master of victory. Therefore, a wise ruler and a wise general, who moves to defeat others and whose success comes from the crowd, is also a prophet. A prophet cannot be obtained from ghosts and gods, cannot be imitated by things, and cannot be verified by measurement. He must be obtained from people and knows.
Those who have feelings for the enemy are also '.
"That is to say, if you send out 100,000 troops and march thousands of miles, it will cost the people and the government more than a thousand gold every day. 700,000 households will be tired of running around, unable to farm with peace of mind, and there will be no peace at home and outside. This stalemate lasts for several years.
Once you are fighting for victory, if you are stingy with your title, salary, gold, and silver, and are unwilling to use spies, so that you do not know the true situation of the enemy, you are really unkind and unjust! Such a person cannot win, and he is not worthy of being a commander in the army or a good minister of the king. Ying
The king is wise, a wise general can be commander-in-chief, and the reason why he can win at every turn and achieve great achievements is that he knows the enemy's situation in advance. If you want to know the enemy's situation in advance, you can't ask ghosts and gods, you can't make assumptions, and you can't rely on divination. You have to be close to someone.
To understand, and to learn from his mouth.”
Sun Wu is the ancestor of military strategists. He wrote thirteen chapters on the Art of War, which he wrote in the form of Guigao in the Army, with the characters Zhuji. King Yun was very familiar with "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and became familiar with it. At this time, he talked about it, not only talking about the original text, but also explaining the interpretation.
It’s a treasure trove. Although everyone is familiar with it, they are still full of admiration when hearing it again.
Since the time of Huizong Zhao Ji in the Song Dynasty, there have been many top-notch literati in the royal family. Huizong himself was excellent at both calligraphy and painting. He was good at calligraphy and his own calligraphy "Thin Gold Style", and he was also good at painting insects and birds and created his own "courtyard style". His calligraphy and painting were all at the pinnacle, and were regarded as eternal masterpieces.
A rare genius and all-rounder, he is even more outstanding in this dynasty and no one can surpass him. Today, Zhao Gou, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, is not only good at poetry, but also good at calligraphy, good truth, running and cursive script. His brushwork is free and elegant, natural
