Chapter 203 Adventure

Two days later, late at night, Chu Tianya was alone in the room, fascinated by a sketch he had drawn himself.

This is a large map of the mountains and rivers north of the Yellow River, with the landforms north of the Yellow River and the Taihang Mountain and the cities of important prefectures and counties. In the past two days, Chu Tianya has been discussing with Bai Xuan about the possible route of the Jin soldiers to invade the south and plan countermeasures.

The more careful you think about it, the more carefully you discuss it. The more intense a feeling of Chu Tianya is - it can't be prevented.

Defense is always passive.

Originally, Kaifeng, Tokyo, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was a very poor choice in terms of geography and military. There is no natural danger as a barrier here. Especially after the Jin Kingdom occupied most of the areas west of Taihang and north of the Yellow River (also known as Hebei), even the barrier of the Yellow River lost its meaning. The real woman's iron horse can almost kill Tokyo in the morning and evening!

No matter how stable Taiyuan is, if Tokyo is lost, it will be useless. After all, this is the heart and lifeline of the Song Dynasty.

If Tokyo is lost, the Song Dynasty will be destroyed!

If the skin does not exist, will the hair ser?

Although Chu Tianya is not interested in the court in Tokyo, the whole Song Dynasty still needs this disappointing court to support it. Not to mention the distance, the post-disaster reconstruction of Taiyuan City, which he is now in, must still be in ruins without the backing of the Song Dynasty. In addition, no matter how unbearable your court is, it is also a housework; if it is served by an alien, it is a real disaster!

The more Chu Tianya thought about it, the more he felt powerless and angry.

Even if there is Ling Yun's ambition, there is no place to do it.

Although Chu Tianya can be said to be "covering the sky with one hand" in the area of Hedong, he is still very small compared with the whole Song Dynasty. At least, he has no ability to influence the national policy of the Song Dynasty, and he doesn't even have the power to write a book for advice. Although he now wants to report the next possible military actions of the State of Jin to the court, he knows better that the court will only take an attitude towards it - ignore it!

A mountain thief also came to discuss the national government, where to put the members of the Manchu Dynasty? - Even Chu Tianya's advice could not be reached the emperor's ears.

Chu Tianya also wanted to convey it through Zhang Xiaochun, but Zhang Xiaochun was just a border minister, and he did not dare to report this kind of "speculation" kind of remark. The water in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty was too deep. Zhang Xiaochun's folds were handed to the court and he would be labeled as "delusional and provocation", which made him breathless or even doomed.

"What should I do?"

Chu Tianya felt a little helpless and helpless. It's like seeing a person who is in the water struggling, but unable to save him.

In case Jin Guo really adopts the tactic of attacking Tokyo directly on the eastern front, it is really unpreventable. Tokyo City, the capital of the Song Dynasty, is almost exposed to the enemy, which can be broken day and night. Chu Tianya didn't believe at all that the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty guarding near Tokyo could resist the crazy attack of the real iron riders. Ninety percent of those people have broken their courage. Before they really start fighting, half of them will be soft-legged and deserters first.

It's not the people and soldiers of the Song Dynasty who are really timid and vulnerable. It's the senior officials and generals who lead the army, who have lost their fighting spirit and courage in the glory, wealth and money fans. The soldiers in Tokyo are all literati and even eunuchs. The so-called bear nest, counting on those literary students who only know what to do, and even the eunuchs who don't even have yang qi, to resist the wolf-like real iron horse... Thinking with your toes, you know what kind of result will be.

One of the important reasons why Taiyuan has become a tenacious nail that can't be pulled out is that it is "disobedient". Last year, Chu Tianya secretly plotted Tong Guan, who was going to escape. Wang Yu stood up and seized the military power, and then joined forces with the bloody mountain thief Xiangma to launch the common people to unite against the gold, which won a tragic victory. In the final analysis, this group of people are fighting for survival, so they are not afraid of death, and the leadership is determined and tenacious without any compromise, so they can maintain the stability and fighting spirit to the greatest extent.

Every dog butcher is a group of unruly and impassioned grassroots, the unruly people who are despised by scholars and doctors, who have staged this miracle of victory against the Jin Kingdom. If one or two of them have important leaders who are not determined to think about it and are afraid of death to compromise but split up, it is impossible to win the final victory.

It's a pity that there are many people like this in Tokyo. A group of people who are not united and have no fighting spirit, even if there are millions, are just rabbles. Chu Tianya believes that as long as the army of the Kingdom of Jin attacks again, Tokyo is bound to fall!

If last year's invasion of Jin Guo's south was just an immature lightning attack, Jin Guo just wanted to get the greatest benefit and punish the Song Dynasty repeatedly; then this time, it will really be an all-out war. The corruption and incompetence of the Song Dynasty constantly stimulated the expansion of the ambition of the Jurchens. The war reparations and several cities are no longer enough to satisfy their appetite. With the fruits of the last experience and success, the next military operation of the State of Jin will be more resolute and decisive and the goal is clear, that is, to completely destroy the Song Dynasty, occupy the Central Plains, and change the dynasty!

The real crisis is coming.

Although I haven't seen a soldier or a soldier of a real woman, Chu Tianya already has a feeling of being on the back. He would like to know how many high-ranking officials in Tokyo now enjoy singing and dancing. Even Zhang Xiaochun, the governor of Taiyuan, has the same sense of crisis?

Hundreds of millions of people in the world, how many people smell the danger of the doomsday?

......

The door of "Du Du Du" was knocked. Chu Tianya, who was nervous, trembled with fear and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Master, I'm looking for a meeting."

"Come in!"

Bai Qi came in. Seeing that Chu Tianya's serious expression was a little ugly, he was surprised and said, "Is the master sick?"

"No." Chu Tianya took a long breath, " Jingqian, I feel very bad. The deeper I think about it, the more I feel that this time, I'm afraid that the Song Dynasty is really going to die.

"Ah?" Bai Xun was a little stunned. Seeing that Chu Tianya's expression was so serious, he couldn't help shaking his mind, "No way?"

"I will, very well." Chu Tianya said seriously, "There is no need for conspiracy and trickery. The real woman only needs to use a conspiracy to send troops from the Yellow River along the eastern line, and once again enter the hinterland of the Central Plains in the form of a flash war. Tokyo will definitely fall!"

"There are heavy soldiers of the Song Dynasty stationed along the Yellow River, and the surroundings of Tokyo are like iron barrels. Coupled with the danger of Tokyo last year, how can Jurchens be so easy to win?" Bai Shu said.

"No matter how tightly a flock of sheep is surrounded, the formation is even more frightening. When they hear a wolf roar, they will become birds and beasts first. Can they bite the tiger and wolf to death?" Chu Tianya shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Don't fantasize that those senior officials and generals in the court will defend Tokyo to the death. Li Gang, Zong Ze and other rare tough anti-gold factions have now been suppressed. The new official is not much better than his father. The only difference is that he is not very greedy for flowers, birds, calligraphy and painting. Even if he killed Tong Guan and demoted Cai Jing, most of the people in charge of the court were still servile and charming surrenderers, but they just changed a pair of skins! Usually, they will put loyalty and patriotism on their heads and swagger across the market. However, there is really a wind and grass. They are the first to run away with their heads or betray the country for glory. Song, it's really dangerous!"

"What should I do?" Bai Xun was also deeply worried, "No matter how well we operate in Hedong and how stable the defense of Taiyuan is, we can't beat the fall of Tokyo!" There is no egg under the nest. If the Song Dynasty perishes, how long can we support it?

"Yes! Although this court is very unspeakable, it is a court anyway. It is the backbone of the whole country and the people of the world, which is better than nothing. Once it's really gone, it's another world. Chu Tianya said, "You must find a way to stop Jin from attacking Tokyo!"

"What can I do? If you write an adgarment, no one will pay attention to it; if you raise troops and station them, they will think that we are rebelled and turbulent. Bai Shu sighed helplessly, "Oh - it's really powerless to return to heaven!"

Chu Tianya also felt a headache and frowned for a moment.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "Report - Lord! My subordinates were ordered to go to Qingyunbao to find out the news, and I'm here to reply!"

"Come in!"

The tiger guard entered the door and reported, "Master, something happened to Jiao Wentong!"

"What?" Chu Tianya and Bai Qi shouted together, and their faces were even worse.

When the guard looked at this style, he was a little stunned and dared not say anything.

"Tell!"

"Yes!" The guard responded and said, "Originally, Jiao Wentong was ordered to go to Xixia. At the beginning, everything was normal. Xixia did not dare to neglect him, and sent special officials to receive him. Jiao Wentong replied to Meng De of Qingyunbao, saying that Xixia had agreed to reconcile with our Xishan and sent people to help find the whereabouts of Princess Xiao in his own country. At the same time, Xixia is very interested in opening a border commercial market along the Yellow River, and specially sent people to discuss with Jiao Wentong.

"Isn't that very good? Everything is expected." Bai Shu asked with a serious face, "What has happened?"

The guard's face also tightened, "Just on the night of the eighth day, the post hall where Jiao Wentong and his party lived was attacked by assassins!"

"What?" Chu Tianya shouted, "What's the result?"

"Because the owner of Mengzhai did not receive the news from Jiao Wentong for several days, he secretly sent people to Xixia to inquire about the news. It turned out that dozens of people in Jiao Wentong's party were all killed or missing that night!" The guard said, "After the murder, there was a fire in the post hall. The trace of the scene was difficult to find, and the murderer did not leave any strong evidence."

"What about Jiao Wentong?" Chu Tianya asked harshly.

"Jiao Wentong was only slightly injured and escaped for his life under the desperate escort of several confidants." The bodyguard replied, "After this incident, Jiao Wentong suspected that it could not be the black hand of the Xixia people, so he did not dare to stay and secretly lurked and fled back to Xishan. I just returned to the cottage the day before yesterday, and I'm recovering from my injuries.

"Unfortunately, Brother Jiao is fine!" Bai Xu sighed softly, "Did he say who the murderer was?"

The bodyguard shook his head, "Jiao Wentong only said that he was asleep and was suddenly attacked by countless masters. The other party acted quickly, fiercely and extremely powerful, not like an ordinary sergeant or a green forest thief.

"It's also thanks to Jiao's second brother's strong martial arts, and several confidants around him are also masters who have followed him for many years, so as to avoid death." Bai Xun said, "Lord, shall we go back to Xishan now?"

Chu Tianya raised his hand to signal Bai Xi to calm down. After frowning for a moment, he said, "If the situation was very urgent, Meng De or Jiao Wentong would have come to Taiyuan to make a statement to me face to face. Since both of them are so calm, we don't have to panic too much. Jingqian, calm down and think about it carefully. Who will do it?

Bai Yu was also lost in thought. The bodyguard looked at Chu Tianya and Baixu left and right. He seemed to have something to say, but he did not dare to speak.

When Chu Tianya saw his expression, he asked, "Has Meng De and Jiao Wentong guessed the murderer?"

"Yes. The two village owners told the villain about their guess. They think that this should be the hands of the real woman. The bodyguard said.

"Wolf teeth." Chu Tianya and Bai Qi spoke in the same voice.

The bodyguard was shocked, "That's right. That's what the two village owners said!"

"In addition to wolf teeth, I can't think of anyone else who can beat Jiao Wentong so awkwardly in an instant, and in the case of going deep into the territory of Xixia." Bai Yu said, "Moreover, they have enough motivation and reason to do so."

"That's right..." Chu Tianya nodded with a frown, "The Xixia Kingdom borders our Song Dynasty, especially for Hedong, the geographical location is particularly important. They are like a dagger against our waist, which can pull us out and kill the enemy, or directly insert it into our waist. After the destruction of the state of Liao, the Xixia Kingdom, which was originally subject to the State of Liao, declared its submission to the State of Jin. In the final analysis, this is a self-preservation measure they adopted to avoid the attack of the State of Jin. In fact, they are also afraid of being annexed by the Jin state by force. Therefore, over the years, he has secretly hooked up with the Song Dynasty, hoping to secretly form an ally of the Song Dynasty and resist the State of Jin by force when necessary. Therefore, Xixia's attitude towards Jin's country is uncertain and contrary to yin. At the same time, the State of Jin also wants to fight for the Western Xia Kingdom to the greatest extent to weaken their resistance to their southward conquest. This time, Jiao Wentong went to Xixia, and the most unhappy thing in his heart must be the real woman. Of course, they don't want us Hedong Rebels to have an extra Xixia ally, not a vicious dog they raised.

"Well, it's logical for the wolf's teeth to secretly assassinate Jiao Wentong." Bai Xu clapped his fist angrily, "If we can kill Jiao Wentong, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to us; even if they can't kill him, they can also put the blame on Xixia, or achieve the purpose of deterring Xixia, thus leading to a complete break between our relationship with Xixia. This is a move that is sure to win and not lose!"

"It's really cruel!" Chu Tianya took a deep breath and said, "I really didn't calculate this trick. Counting the time, it was almost the time when the old fox set out from the north. Wanyan Zonghan must have sent all his Wolf Tooth Guards to Shi Li Ai. Shi Liai inquired about the movement of our Xishan Mountain, so he sent wolf teeth to sneak into Xixia to fight! - This fellow, damn it!"

"Yes, this move is really cruel!" Bai Xu also said, "Even if we don't believe that it was the hands of Xixia's own people to kill Jiao Wentong, they have achieved the purpose of detering and threatening the Xixia people. Now, Xixia definitely dares not establish diplomatic relations or trade with me. Langya can attack a first-class master like Jiao Wentong in the well-defended Guanyi, and can easily enter their palace and cut off the head of the King of Xixia! In addition, Xixia is afraid of the State of Jin - this assassination is simply killing chickens and monkeys, which is simply more deterrent than 100,000 soldiers at the border gate!"

"I love this old thief, I really want to kill him!" Chu Tianya was really angry and punched the table.

"Lord!" Bai Xun bowed his hand and said, "Why don't we treat him in his own way, tie up the old fox Shi Liai, and catch him later!"

"Well, kidnap the envoy of the State of Jin?" Chu Tianya was stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think of it?"

"Does the lord think it's feasible?" Although Bai Shu was already angry, he still kept calm.

Chu Tianya's eyebrows were stuck in deep thought. After a long time, he said, "I thought about it carefully. When he was kidnapped, he couldn't return to the Kingdom of Jin. Although it was a little useful, it didn't mean much. After all, he is just a counselor, not the core figure in power. Although he is dangerous, if I don't let him go back to Wanyan Zonghan, I feel a little uncertain.

"Why?" Bai Shu asked in surprise.

"Because it was hard for me to understand Shi Liai, and Wanyan Zonghan obeyed him. If I catch Shi Liai and don't let him go back, then I really don't know what Wanyan Zonghan will do next. Chu Tianya said, "Sit Liai is very cunning and has inquired a lot of information from us. However, I really need him to bring these things back to Wanyan Zonghan's side, and then give advice to Wanyan Zonghan to lead the next military operation."

Bai Xun's eyes widened, "Lord, you are! ......”

Chu Tianya waved his hand, and the bodyguard retreated interestingly.

Chu Tianya whispered to his ear and whispered to him for a while.

Bai Qi opened his mouth wide, and his face turned a little pale.

"Lord, you actually want it! ......”

"Silt!" Chu Tianya's face darkened, "Don't say a word about this matter!"

"Yes, I remember it!" Bai Xun solemnly clenched his fist and said, "Then let Shi Li Ai swagger back like this?"

Chu Tianya nodded slowly with a silent face, "How can you catch a big fish without a long line? Look, I not only want to bow down to me obediently, but also want Wanyan Zonghan to lose completely! - There is a saying in the world that cleverness is mistaken by cleverness. Shi Liai is too smart. If he is not smart enough, I can't use this trick!"

"Lord, this is too risky!" Bai Zhi is inhaling cold air.

Chu Tianya's eyebrows sank, "With the current critical situation and the strength of both sides, if we don't take risks and don't have any surprises, do we have a chance to win?"

Bai Shu shook his head.

Chu Tianya took a deep breath, "At this time last year, someone from Chu, dared to risk the world alone; now there are 100,000 warriors under my command. What else is there that I dare not do?"
