Chapter 257 Helping Tokyo
The military division Bai Qi came back. The whole Luoyang is like a computer with a hardware upgrade and a comprehensive upgrade of the operating system, running faster, more balanced and more efficiently.
Of course, Chu Tianya knows the power and role of Baixu. The reason why I waited until today to invite him out of the mountain is also out of the mentality of the superior. First, Bai Qi is capable, but he has a sense of scholarly arrogance and pretentiousness in his heart. If you are too arrogant and dependent on him, you will be biased. Previously, when he was in Xiaocangshan, Bai Xun showed more or less arrogance and never synchronized with Chu Tianya in his position.
No matter how capable his subordinates don't listen to the boss, what's the use of him?
Besides, of course, he can't completely abandon Bai He and put him in the cold palace all the time. It's like an eagle refining dog. Let Bai Yu idle for a while and starve him. When he can't stand loneliness and let him out at the right time, it will be difficult for him to do his best.
Out of this consideration, Chu Tianya went to call Bai Qi out of the mountain after arriving in Luoyang for a long time, the foundation was stable, and the major event had been decided. This undoubtedly sends two signals to Bai Xu that can frighten him - we can do things without you; of course, it's better to have you!
It is neither needed nor you. This is Chu Tianya's way of employing people.
Often, the more talented people are, the more arrogant they are. How to find a balance between his arrogance and talent is what Chu Tianya has to do with painstaking efforts. The former has Jiao Wentong, but now there is Baixu. In the future, there will be more people.
After Bai Xu took office, he was like a machine with full horsepower. He tried his best to devote himself and took care of the whole Luoyang's large and small military affairs in an orderly manner. The cooperation between Liu Ziyu, the deputy military division, and him is also becoming more and more harmonious and perfect. The two military divisions, one is in the Luoyang military aircraft and the other is in command along the Yellow River in Jiyuan, finally connecting the whole Luoyang's defense into a whole.
Chu Tianya can finally rest assured. Previously, Baixun's job was concurrently handled by him and Meng De. Now that this area has a white burden, Chu Tianya can do it with confidence and boldness. There is another thing he must do.
- The sword points to Tokyo!
At present, although there are hundreds of thousands of troops of Wanyan Zonghan going south fiercely, and the Chu family will not turn back, in fact, the core of the contradiction is still in Tokyo. If Tokyo is destroyed by the Song Dynasty, Chu Tianya, who is huddled in Luoyang, will be captured and destroyed sooner or later.
The most urgent thing is to protect Tokyo!!
The recruitment work is in full swing. From the first day of entering Luoyang, Chu Tianya has never stopped expanding his military strength. There are countless ordnances in the treasury of Los County, and it is simply stupid not to use the armed forces.
Until today, Chu Tianya has recruited 80,000 soldiers and horses. The folk customs of the Qin and Jin Dynasties have been strong since ancient times. In those years, the Guanlong military aristocrats of the Tang Dynasty used the soldiers here to seize the world. Most of the soldiers of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty also came from this, so their combat effectiveness was extraordinary. The soldiers recruited by Chu Tianya are almost all the elite men of Kansai. From the source of soldiers alone, the quality of the Luoyang New Army is far better than the quality of the new recruits of the Hedong Rebel Army.
Chu Tianya mixed these new armies with the Forbidden Army of Luo County and the Jin Army. With the old and the new, the new soldiers grew very fast. Now there are more than 220,000 soldiers and horses in Luoyang, of which more than 120,000 are new strength after Chu Tianya came to Luoyang!
Tokyo's emergency rescue documents flew to Luoyang like snowflakes. Wanyan Zongwang's 300,000 troops have completely broken through the Yellow River and headed for Tokyo one after another. Although all kinds of diligent masters in the southern part of the Song Dynasty are also constantly going to Tokyo to rescue, either the far water is not as strong as the near thirst, or the number of troops is small. At present, Tokyo only relies on more than 100,000 forbidden troops and the city to fight against the enemy, and officials and courtiers are frightened day and night. For the Chu family army, the closest new force to Tokyo, they almost begged Grandpa and Grandma to ask Chu Tianya to send troops to the King of Service!
According to the strategy set by Bai Shu, Chu Tianya urgently rectified the soldiers and horses, raised food and fodder to prepare for the eastward expedition, while bargaining with the court. First, the court should be awarded a title, second, it is necessary to send a prince to supervise the army (in fact, it is a hostage), and the third is the command of soldiers and horses.
Zhao Huan, an official, and all the ministers have seen Chu Tianya's "wolf ambition". If this is put in the past, it will immediately spread the world and scold Chu Tianya, and send an army to fight against him as a "rebellious minister". But now, Zhao Huan and his ministers dare not refuse to agree - compared with the destruction of the city, although Chu Tianya's request is too much, it is not enough to die!
Therefore, Zhao Huan, an official, agreed to all the requirements of Chu Tianya.
First of all, he threw Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, into Luoyang as a "Jing Zhaofu general judge", that is, to give Chu Tianya as a hostage.
The fool can see what the intention of this official's handwriting is.
Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, was born to the favorite concubine and imperial concubine of the former emperor Zhao Ji. Unlike the current official Zhao Huan, Zhao Kai is quite the father of his father. He loves books and birds and is quite attainable, and is quite talented. He once participated in the scientific examination anonymously, but he entered the palace all the way and won the first place. It is said that Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is the most "leading" champion in history.
Therefore, Zhao Ji has always liked his son very much. Many times he deliberately abolished the prince (i.e. the current official Zhao Huan) and changed Zhao Kai.
But now Zhao Huan is still in position. Of course, Zhao Kai's situation is very embarrassing. Normally, if it hadn't been for the interference of internal affairs by the State of Jin's foreign affairs, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, would have died long ago. As a result, when Zhao Huan took office, he got his biggest competitor Zhao Kai to Fengxiang as the governor, not far from Luoyang.
It happened that Chu Tianya wanted a prince to be a " hostage", and the officials naturally threw Zhao Kai, a useless person and a thorn in his side, to Chu Tianya - more or less mean beating dogs with stinky meat.
It is impossible for Chu Tianya and Baixu to be unable to see such a simple truth and obvious intention. They coincidentally felt very satisfied with the arrival of Zhao Kai!
Zhao Huan not only perfunctory Chu Tianya, but also cut off the thorns in his side, which was his intention. However, Chu Tianya and Bai Xu felt that if it were other princes to make a general judgment, it may not be suitable for Zhao Kai - the reason is very simple. Zhao Kai and Zhao Huan are not together, and he must hate the brother who became the emperor. In this way, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, who came to Luoyang, really had a reason to "join with Chu Tianya" and plan his official brother together!
This is much more useful than throwing a waste prince like a mud fetus!
In addition, Zhao Huan, an official, also agreed to other requirements of Chu Tianya. As soon as the golden mouth opened, he sealed Chu Tianya as the hereditary "Prince of Luoyang" and gave him the title of Wuyang. Even the layman was stunned by this title - the Song Dynasty sealed the thousand-year-old ancient capital and his own West Kyoto to a different surname king, which really cost a lot!
At the same time, the Privy Council of the imperial court officially handed over the military power of Henan Province, including the stations and towns of the Western Army, to Chu Tianya for command. This is exactly what Chu Tianya asked for.
The lion opened his mouth and was full.
Originally, even if the court did not give these things, Chu Tianya would definitely move eastward. Now it's just a cheap one. Why not?
Therefore, Chu Tianya decided to personally wave his army in the future and go to Tokyo to meet the legendary second prince of the State of Jin and the commander of the East Road Army, Wanyan Zongwang, who is more powerful than Wanyan Zonghan!
In fact, there is a lot of controversy in Luoyang on this issue. At present, hundreds of thousands of troops of Wanyan Zonghan are coming, and Luoyang's defense is very tight. At such a critical moment, soldiers and horses have to be transferred to fight in Tokyo, and anyone has to sweat. However, Chu Tianya insisted that even if he lost Luoyang and moved his nest again or even wandered around the world, he could not sit back and watch Tokyo's extinction.
It is impossible for Bai Wei, who has just returned, to be against Chu Tianya again at this time and in the face of such a big event. Therefore, whether out of sincerity or helplessness, he expressed his support for Chu Tianya's decision. Not to mention Meng De, even if Chu Tianya wants to go to the sky to grab the moon and go to the sea to capture the dragon, he will swear to the death. The remaining leaders such as Jiao Wentong and Liu Ziyu were also persuaded by Chu Tianya one after another. Other big and small leaders can only accept this reality.
In the choice of the left-behind general, Chu Tianya took a lot of pains.
Bai Shu is definitely going to stay. If you want to deal with Wanyan Zonghan and Shi Liai, you can't do it without him. The rest is to choose another general who is in charge of the army and command in battle. Meng De is very reliable, but he is not very good at commanding and fighting. Jiao Wentong has absolutely no problem with his ability, but his personality is likely to make him make irreparable mistakes.
Finally picking it up, Chu Tianya had to look at a newcomer - deputy military division, Liu Ziyu!
When Liu Ziyu first came here without any merit, he was appointed by Chu Tianya as one of the five military aircraft leaders and deputy military division, which was already an exceptional promotion. Now he doesn't have enough prestige. Any of the leaders below is more qualified than him, and many people are not convinced of him.
Therefore, when making this decision, Chu Tianya showed great courage - no less than when Liu Bei attacked Wu, Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, exceptionally used the scholar Lu Xun as the governor.
Sure enough, when Chu Tianya made this decision, there was a lot of doubts. Even Jiao Wentong, Meng De and Xiao Linglong were surprised.
But Chu Tianya's idea has been decided, and he doesn't have time to talk about the problem of left-behind candidates - give an order and implement it immediately. From now on, Liu Ziyu took full power and acted on behalf of the lord; Bai Xu served as a military sshi and assisted the counselor's military affairs from the side; Meng De stayed in Luo County and cooperated with the magistrate Zhang Xiaochun to take charge of the logistics.
Of course, the new Jingzhaofu general judge and king Zhao Kai were raised by high tribute and became the highest ruler of Luoyang County - the puppet flag.
Chu Tianya picked up his own Hu Ben cavalry and another 40,000 troops with a total of 80,000 horses. He used Jiao Wentong as the pioneers, Ma Yan and Wang Xun as generals, Tang Ang and A Nu as their own guards, and there were also 11 Qingwei. They immediately waved their troops to help Tokyo!
The only Qingwei left is He Bo.
It's one thing that the old man is too old to go on an expedition. It's actually of great significance for him to stay. Chu Tianya sent him to "protect" Zhao Kai, the king of Yun. On the one hand, he can ensure the absolute safety of this puppet flag. On the other hand, the old man can also be regarded as a sea needle that does not show mountains or dew. Although he never directly interferes in political affairs and military affairs, in case of an argument between Liu Ziyu and Bai Xu, Meng De and Zhang Xiaochun, or other changes, the old man can play a magical role.
Because everyone knows that Lord Chu Tianya regards He Bo as half his father, teacher and think tank. Although he doesn't have any position, his generation is bigger than anyone else!
Finally, everything is ready.
Following an east wind, Chu Tianya personally led 80,000 soldiers to the east, and he pointed straight to the capital of the Song Dynasty - Bianliang, Tokyo!
