Chapter 227 thoughts
It's late at night, and Chu Tianya still hasn't slept. Today, he did not go back to Xiaocang Mountain, but stayed in Taiyuan. He didn't live in the Guanyi arranged by Zhang Xiaochun, but in the Star Picking Building.
Shi Kequan and his wife are so enthusiastic that they have been invited many times. Since Chu Tianya came to Taiyuan, he simply gave them face. What's more, the accompanying people also took the Taiyin Taichang sisters, so that they could go home to visit their families.
The north wind blew, and there was a strange sound like a ghost crying when crossing the roof. Chu Tianya's room was warm with two furnaces of fire, and he also took four candlesticks to make a clear picture of a map.
He is studying the topography of Hebei, hoping to find one or more reasonable march routes.
The surprise attack is settled.
If you don't take the initiative to attack, Taiyuan is like a prey forced into the corner of the wall, only waiting to die. Only attack is the best defense. It is absolutely unrealistic to fight directly to the north. The serious restrictions on the geographical location and the great difficulty of retreating make Taiyuan unsuitable and unsuitable to attack.
Chu Tianya is more and more aware that Hedong is really not a good base. For the dynasty of the Central Plains, this is the throat of national defense, but it is by no means a good place for development and attack. There is the Yellow River on the left and Taihang on the right, and the north side is also a dangerous obstacle and barrier. It is not difficult to defend. If you want to make some achievements here, the space for development is really limited. There are many people who have made a lot of money from all dynasties, but there are really no people in the north. The most typical example is Li Tang in the previous dynasty. They also finally seized Guanzhong as a foundation, and finally swept the world.
"To the south, that's the Song Dynasty. I can't turn the muzzle and hit my own people, can I?" Chu Tianya was quite entangled and said secretly, "Although the number of spirits of the Song Dynasty is almost the same, it is also quite unpopular now. But war is a meat grinder, and the damage to the common people is the greatest. In any case, you can't roll up the civil war because of me, otherwise, only foreigners will benefit..."
"But if I don't go south to make another good picture, I can only stay in Taiyuan all the time. Behind it is the Zhao and Song Dynasty, which doesn't trust me. On the left is the uncertain hidden enemy Xixia Kingdom. In the east, except for Tianyu Taihang Mountain, it is the fallen Hebei. Needless to say, in the north, there are thousands of Jurchens who want to strangle me. In Chu Tianya's heart, the sense of crisis is getting heavier and heavier.
What he is thinking about now is not just the upcoming war. Just through the strategic competition during this period, he felt that Taiyuan was strategically passive. This is a natural disadvantage, which is difficult to reverse. The only way to fundamentally solve this problem is to transfer the base or expand the territory.
After thinking about it, it is only possible to go south.
Guanzhong Erjing, Chang'an and Luoyang are undoubtedly the most ideal places. It is the ancient capital of the past dynasties. There are mountains and rivers in and out, and the mountains are stable, which is indeed an excellent place to achieve great achievements.
But as long as the muzzle is turned to the south, the nature of the Hedong Rebel Army will become a real traitor, and it will lose the most basic support of the people. This is not far from defeat.
Chu Tianya has a terrible headache.
Maybe I haven't even thought about this problem. After all, the position of the height of the station is different, and the responsibilities and questions to be considered will not be the same.
The war in front of him has not officially started. Because of strategic passivity, Chu Tianya has to make an adventurous military idea, that is, to bypass Taihang's surprise attack Hebei and disrupt the military plan of the Jin Kingdom, so as to win a little strategic initiative. For this reason, he had to send the rosefinch and the nobles as an outpost in advance, which was a great sacrifice.
I don't know how many people will die in the next surprise attack. Those who will be sent are still one of the few and precious cavalry in the Hedong Rebel Army.
This is like a robber at home who can't avoid it, so he has to pick up the golden ingot to smash people, so as to win a chance to breathe.
I smashed this year and won a little respite for the time being. Fortunately, Taiyuan kept it - what about next year?
Therefore, the need for strategic transfer has become very urgent. But at present, Chu Tianya feels like he is perched in the thorns, and it is even difficult to turn around, let alone move a nest.
"Papa--"
The more he thought about it, the more bored he became. Chu Tianya smashed the pen on the table. The splashed ink dropped a few messy curves on the paper.
Taichang and Taiyin, who were guarding at the door, heard a noise in the room. They thought there was an assassin in the room. They kicked the door open and rushed in. The mother and two knives were set up together!
Chu Tianya blinked and looked back at them, "Convert it."
The two sisters hurriedly put away their knives and said, "I am reckless, please forgive me!"
Chu Tianya smiled, "Yes, the reaction is very fast."
Tai often hurried to help Chu Tianya clean up the table. Chu Tianya glanced at it, and the ink pattern on the paper brightened his eyes.
"Put it down." Chu Tianya stepped forward, picked up the paper and looked at it.
The two sisters stood aside quietly, with suspicious faces.
"Look, what does this look like?" Chu Tianya picked up the ghost-like paper to show them.
"Ah?" The two sisters were stunned, and then shook their heads neatly, "It's not like anything, it's messy."
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "You really have the same heart. You speak with the same voice."
In fact, he saw that the ink dropped on the paper was a little similar to the shape of the rosefinch's mask. Involuntarily, he thought of the rosefinch.
The two sisters also laughed, "We have been together in our mother's belly, and we haven't separated until now."
"I ask you, do you think the Hedong Rebels are good?" Chu Tianya asked.
"Good." The two sisters nodded together.
"What's good about it?"
"...it's good anyway." The two sisters smiled and said, "Good lord, good old man, and the brothers and sisters of Qingwei are also good. The cottage is full of good men and righteous people, and they are doing good things to protect the country and the people!"
"Is this place in Hedong and Taiyuan, okay?" Chu Tianya asked again.
The two sisters frowned and shook their heads, "It's not good."
"Why?"
"Because there are often wars. If you fight a war, you will die." My sister Taiyin said.
My sister often said, "People also live unsteadily. Maybe as soon as the war comes, the hard-earned crops and family property will be gone. Now my sister and brother-in-law are very panicked, and they have finished the business of picking the star building and left quickly to go to Guanzhong or Sichuan. It's hard to fight there.
Chu Tianya's heart is bright: Sure enough, even the most ordinary people know that once there is a war, Hedong Taiyuan will not be a good place to live and work in peace and contentment; I want to stay here for development, how easy is it? ...Guanzhong, Chuanshu, that's a good place to serve as a foundation!
An idea slowly took root in Chu Tianya's heart. That is - shift the position and create a real foundation!
Although he doesn't know how to do it at the time, he must work in this direction. He can't always be the mountain king in the mountains east of the river for a lifetime. He will always be caught in the middle of the Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin as a shield and be beaten alive.
"Lord, it hurts your body at night. Why don't you rest early!" The two sisters advised softly, "The war is coming, and the master's body is the most urgent."
Chu Tianya turned his head and looked at the dim yellow map hanging on the wallboard and sighed, "Okay! I can't think of anything for a moment. It's better to go to bed! ...I don't know what happened to the rosefinch and the nobles. In this weather, our hands and feet are still freezing in the burning room, but they are sleeping in the countryside.
"They will be fine." Tai Chang and Tai Yin replied affirmatively.
"Real?" Chu Tianya smiled, "Are you so confident in them?"
"It's okay if it's us." The two sisters said with one voice again, "Without the master's order, Qingwei will never die!"
"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed, "Okay, it's great. It's late at night, you go to bed, too!"
"The lord only cares about rest. We are staying here!" The two sisters said together, "The Lord's side can never be less than the protection of two Qingwei. This is the iron law of Qingwei!"
Chu Tianya is still smiling, "Call Liuhe and Xiaofei to come. It's rare for you to go home and rest and relax."
The two sisters looked at each other with a trace of disappointment on their faces. Then they hugged their fists and went out.
Chu Tianya smiled slightly and said to himself, "I don't know how the old man is ** Qingwei. The women in it are all heartfelt on me. It can be seen that they deliberately changed their night shift and waited to sleep with me. I have been inseparable from Xiao Linglong for days, and tonight is still a rare opportunity for them. But Flying Fox's combat strength is strong. I fought with it for several nights and it's rare to have a night off today... What's more, I'm really not in the mood today!
Soon Chu Tianya undressed and went to bed. The bedding was clean and warm, but Chu Tianya couldn't sleep for a long time. The shadows of the rosefinch and the nobleman swayed in his mind. Chu Tianya knows that it is not just the love and missing between men and women, but more out of a worry and concern of guilt and self-reproach.
War should have nothing to do with women. Now, a major military plan requires two women to go outposts. Can Chu Tianya not blame himself?
"I don't know how they are? ......”
It's freezing at night, splashing water into ice.
Yue Fei's cavalry set up a temporary camp, and the three guards remained as usual. Near the military tent where the rosefinch and the nobles lived, no one approached within ten steps.
"Sister, this Yue Fei is really a good person!" The nobleman whispered while drinking hot water, "On the way, none of them flirted with us; at night, no one came to harass us."
The rosefinch didn't say anything, and his eyes were bright and thoughtful.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?" The nobleman asked curiously.
"I'm thinking that this Yue Fei didn't work under the command of the Lord, but it's a pity that he had a Ma army envoy and the 52nd rank of Chengxinlang in the army of the Song Dynasty." The rosefinch whispered, "Can you see that he is extremely strong in martial arts with unique skills? With his ability, there is no problem in being a big leader.
"Ah? How good is his martial arts? The nobleman asked. Martial arts is not her specialty in the first place. She only specializes in taming animals and medical poison. If you want to fight with someone, you can also deal with three or two sergeants.
"His martial arts skills are different from ours. They are probably the same as Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu." The rosefinch whispered, "It belongs to the type that takes the head of the general among the three armies and millions of armies!"
"Oh, isn't that similar to what Tianhou said - Wuqu Yang Zaixing?"
"Well, that's the kind." The rosefinch nodded gently, "Although I haven't seen him do anything, I can feel it. His kung fu must be no worse than Jiao Wentong and Xue Yu, and even far better than these two! Maybe, only Yang Zaixing, who has never met, can be compared with him.
The nobleman's eyes were shining, "Then let's find a way to deceive Yue Fei away and let him turn to the master?"
"Stupid words!" The rosefinch sneered, "This man's heart is arrogant and not idle. Ling Yun's ambition in his chest will only serve the official society wholeheartedly. How can he bend down to serve a mountain king? Besides, if we two women can cheat him away, he will be too worthless.
"It's true! ... Along the way, he has never looked at us. The nobleman was a little a little annoy, "Aren't we beautiful?"
The rosefinch blinked and looked at the nobleman. He wanted to cry and laugh, "Forget it, you'd better shut up! - Sleep, nourish your spirit and go tomorrow, and you will soon reach the territory of the Kingdom of Jin!"
