Chapter 20 Thousand Years of Ditch

As soon as Chu Tianya said this, Ma Yu and Wang Yu fell into silence.

After a long time, Wang took a breath of breath and said, "Chu Tianya, you are really bold. You are born as a small official and now the last general. You dare not plan military affairs even if you are in power or handsome, but you dare to point fingers!"

Ma Yan interrupted without losing the opportunity, "Your Godfather, it is often said that heroes don't ask where they come from. The situation of the Chu brothers is extraordinary at the time of examination, and they dare to do it. In fact, they are more than a hundred times better than many people who are in high positions now! If all the people in the world are like Chu Tianya, how dare the female barbarians bully me?

"Oh, are you cursing and scolding me?"

"I dare not!" Ma Yan hurriedly hugged his fist and apologized, "Doesn't the child understand the character of the adoptive father? How dare he disrespect his adoptive father? - The child just wants to say that it is rare to have a knowledgeable and talented man like Chu Tianya at this critical moment to stand up for the country and the people. Godfather, don't miss such a talent!"

"Oh? Oh, huh!!" Wang Yu laughed and said, "After talking for a long time, it turns out that you are promoting him!"

"Thank you very much, Ma Du for supervising the United States." Chu Tianya also laughed and said, "There is no need to introduce and help. Chu is a young official who has no learning and no ambition. It is enough to be able to be a military envoy. I just hope that Wang Dutong can put the people in the overall situation first, come forward to fight against Jin, and persuade Tong Taishi to stay in Taiyuan!"

"Impossible." Wang and Ma Yu actually spoke with one voice.

Then, the three of them were stunned together.

Chu Tianya could only shake his head with a wry smile, "Since the two officers are the generals under the command of Tong Taishi, they must know him. In this way, it is really unrealistic to keep Tong Taishi stationed in Taiyuan?

"It's not realistic at all." Wang Yu said, "I don't want to talk about the master behind his back. However, even if the master wants to leave, I will definitely stay and live and die with Taiyuan!"

- "Coexist and die with Taiyuan!"

Hearing these words, Chu Tianya's heart was inexplicably hot-blooded! - Yes, the old general in front of him is the king who is generous and martyred in history!

"But if Tong Taishi goes away, he will definitely take away the victorious army under his command." Ma Yan said worriedly, "At that time, what will the adoptive father use to fight against the golden soldiers?"

Wang Qian frowned deeply, meditated for a long time, and shook his head regretfully. "Although I am under the control of Hebei Xuanfu Division, I only have the right to temporarily use troops when I go out to fight, but I don't have the right to mobilize and command troops. The military power of my Song Dynasty is all held in the imperial court, but the envoy is in the hands of eunuchs like Tong Taishi. The old man is in vain to call himself a general. In fact, none of his men can be driven.

Hearing this, Chu Tianya sighed repeatedly in his heart! - Wang's words directly said the drawbacks of the Song Dynasty's military system.

Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was added to the throne as emperor through a Chen Qiao mutiny. From then on, the emperors of the Song Dynasty were afraid that their generals would also follow the "Chen Qiao mutiny" to seize their country, so they imposed very strict restrictions on the army of the Song Dynasty, and the power of the generals was also quite severe - that is, the legendary, there was a Song Dynasty of "heavy literature and suppressing martial arts".

As Wang said, the military power of the Song Dynasty was all concentrated in the imperial court and held in the hands of officials. Among them, the power of requisition and allocation belongs to the Privy Council, and the power of command and management belongs to the three government. Most of the officials of the Privy Council and the Sanya are eunuchs such as civil servants or Tong Guan, who directly obey the orders of the officials.

After the army went on an expedition, Wang Yu's "commen" only had the right to use troops. Even outside, Wang Qi can't decide how to fight this battle and how to mobilize the army, and he must ask the court for a decision back and forth. Therefore, in the war history of the Song Dynasty, there have been many extremely absurd "talking about soldiers on paper" - officials and ministers discussed the battle plan in the court, drew the march map, and then arranged for the generals to strictly implement it!

As the saying goes, all soldiers are impermanent, and the situation on the battlefield is suddenly sudden, and victory or defeat is often only in a flash. It's hard not to lose even if the Song court fights a fart war like this!

Such a military system makes the generals at all levels pass the shir by each other and do nothing. In the real war, they are constrained by themselves and have no ability to respond at all. But whenever something happens, they start to fight with each other and liquidate their responsibilities, and they also shirk each other's responsibilities...

Thinking of this, Chu Tianya couldn't help sighing and said, "Wang Dutong, Ma Dujian, I can see it clearly. When we are about to face the threat of the female real women, if we let go, the female real women are not three heads and six arms, and we don't have to be afraid of them at all. The problem is that now the people of Li Shu and millions of troops in the Song Dynasty have all tied themselves up, and they have honestly knelt on the ground and stretched out their heads, waiting for the machete of the Jurchens to cut down - this disappointing war is indeed not yet started, and we will lose!"

After listening to Chu Tianya's words, Wang Yu frowned deeply and did not comment, but Ma Yu was shocked. He secretly pulled Chu Tianya's sleeves under the table and motioned him to say less.

Chu Tianya was talked about by Ma Yan, and his heart was also distracted. He thought, after all, Wang Qian is from the older generation. His thoughts are different from those of me in the 21st century, and even there is a generation gap with Ma Yu. Moreover, Wang Bao is a typical loyal minister. Even if the officials and the court are about to cut off his head indiscriminately, even if he has thousands of resentments in his chest, he will obediently stick out his neck.

"My words today seem to be a little extreme, and I don't fully take into account the ideological differences between people in this era and me. Two ways of thinking that are thousands of years apart collide. It is inevitable that Mars will hit the earth. If it hadn't been for Wang's generosity, I'm afraid he would have been furious at this time. Chu Tianya secretly thinking for a while, then changed his pleasant look and raised his glass to the king and said, "The last generals talk nonsense after drinking. Please don't blame the king."

Wang Yi smiled generously and didn't say much. He raised his glass and drank this cup with Chu Tianya.

When Ma Jian saw that Wang Wei was not angry, he took a long breath in his heart and wink at Chu Tianya repeatedly, signaling him not to stimulate Wang Yi again.

"My son doesn't have to frown. Naturally, I know it." Wang Yu smiled and said, "Brother Chu's words are actually rude and not rough. After leading the army for decades, how can I not know the drawbacks of my military system in the Song Dynasty? However, these drawbacks have been a hundred years old, and how can they be changed overnight? Therefore, it is not good for us to repay our grievances. At this time, I can only think about good strategies and guard Taiyuan by myself.

Chu Tianya remained silent and said no more. Even if Ma Yan wants to say it, he can't say a reason. So, the scene suddenly cooled down.

"Why don't you talk?" Wang Wei frowned and said unhappily, "Is it that you can't trust me, or are you worried that I have a small amount of equipment?"

"It doesn't mean that." Chu Tianya smiled apologetically and said, "In fact, it's too early now. We talk a lot, and it's just a piece of paper. Wang Dutong has also summarized before that there are only three ways to guard Taiyuan, to accumulate grain and build a city, form foreign aid, and Wang Shi to stay. At present, we can't casually spread news to alarm the people, which will lead to the people's panic and chaos. Even if the possibility of Wang Shi's stay behind is negligible, we might as well find an opportunity to have a try. At present, the most urgent task is to connect the Xishan and Taihang's Yijun.

"That's right." Wang Yu looked approving and said to Chu Tianya, "You are really good, resourceful and clear-headed. I will secretly try to implement the work of accumulating grain and building the city; my son can go to the place in Xishan the day after tomorrow. You must do your best to persuade the all-zhai rebels in Xishan to unite against the gold! - Otherwise, I will think that you are greedy and afraid of dying and become a thief, so I will break up with you and swear to be irreconcilable!"

Ma Qian was moved and hurriedly hugged his fist and said, "The child will do his best and dare not live up to the expectations of his godfather!"

"As for the many cottages in Taihang..." Wang Yu turned his eyes to Chu Tianya and stroked his head meaningfully, "Chu Tianya, do you have a way?"

Chu Tianya frowned and said with an embarrassed face, "There is no certainty. I can only try my best."

"A man, Congo is more generous!" Wang Yu suddenly shouted, "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent - I want you to say that you will succeed!"

"Good!" Chu Tianya gritted his teeth fiercely, "If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!"

"Haha!" Wang Yu laughed loudly and stretched out a generous palm and patted Chu Tianya on the shoulder. "You boy is a little silly. He is very similar to me when I was young - come on, I'll give you a toast!"

"Why do I feel like I've been hit by Wang Dutong?" Chu Tianya laughed and said, "However, Chu is willing to take this trick. In the current situation, we really can't slack off or have a trace of luck. If there is no spirit of a broken battle, there will be no doubt!"

"Well said!" Wang Yu nodded and praised, "Did my son hear that? Although Chu Tianya is young, there are many things in him that are worth learning from! - When you go to Xishan, you also need to have the awareness that you will become benevolent if you don't succeed, and you also have the spirit of breaking down!"

"Children, remember!" Ma Yan bowed his fist seriously and convincedly and said with a smile, "Before, the child boasted about Tianya in front of his adoptive father, but the adoptive father didn't believe it. Now, the adoptive father himself can't stop praising it, right?"

"Haha!" Wang Yu laughed cheerfully, "Yes, I just scold when I see a mistake, praise when I see something good, and never beat around the bush - Chu Tianya, listen, you don't stay in the backyard of the palace to take care of the group of mules. You can come to my capital tomorrow, and I will guarantee that you will be the deputy commander. In the future, you will follow me day and night and be my kiss.

After listening to this, Ma was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Congratulations to Brother Chu. In an instant, Pingbu Qingyun became the deputy commander - why don't you thank your godfather?"

Chu Tianya smiled slightly and hugged his fist and said, "Thank you, Wang Dutong's beauty. In fact, Mr. Chu is not in the officialdom, and Mr. Chu doesn't care very much about the official. Chu stayed in the royal palace, just to take the opportunity to get close to Tong Taishi and see if he could act with the camera to win the power of resistance to gold.

"You mean, you refuse?" Wang Yu frowned and stared at Chu Tianya with a surprised face.
