Chapter 539 My Big Brother Loves to Listen
【Before the Jingkang Shame, the civil officials of the Northern Song Dynasty were not only suppressing the military generals. Although they only controlled the regime, they were not polite in their judgments on the previous dynasties.
For example, Wang Anshi, who was engaged in reform, criticized Li Bai, saying that Li Bai was "close to the vulgar" and "his knowledge was low", so the Tang people liked him. In the end, he concluded that although Li Bai was bold and elegant, he was just like that, "his style stopped there and he didn't know how to change."
Later, Su Shi's younger brother Su Zhe also made comments, but his language was much more verbose, and his focus was the same as that of the nitpickers.
Su Zhe described Li Bai as flashy, fond of fame, and ignorant of righteousness. He also criticized Li Bai for daring to praise the knight-errant. Where is justice? Where is the law?
However, in comparison, Su Zhe is more famous for his "Yan Ji Lun" in "Li Dai Lun".
First, he praised the foresight of the Chanyuan Alliance: "Zhenzong... defeated the Huns at Chanyuan. He knew that they were tired of fighting, so he gave them some gold and silk... The people in the north did not know how to fight. This was unprecedented in the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties."
Then he shyly praised the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun: "Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty treated them with peace, but the Xiongnu became more arrogant. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty resisted them with conquests, and the Central Plains became more sick... The reason why the court treats them with more kindness is no more than Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and the Huns have become docile. The benefits of Shi's ceding Yan and Ji can be seen from this."
The final plan is revealed: "I have no right to cede The shame of the land, but the benefit alone, this is the will of heaven, not human affairs. In the past, the rebellion of the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty... For a hundred years, the beasts were rampant... The tribes collapsed, and the remaining people in the Tang land untied their braids and turned inward. There was no bloodshed in the Central Plains, and the soil recovered by itself. Now I can't bear to destroy the people, and I use leather money, dogs and horses to make friends with the aliens. If it is based on the law of nature, will there be a change like the Tubo in the late Tang Dynasty? "
Su Che used the example of the middle period of the Tang Dynasty ignoring the Tubo civil strife and watching the Hu people fight to the death and finally recover the land without bloodshed, and used it to prove that the Song Dynasty would definitely be able to reap the benefits of the Liao Dynasty, which is a win-win.
Although the Liao Dynasty did eventually perish in the civil strife, I wonder what Su Che would think if he knew about the Jingkang Shame of the Song Dynasty.
In addition, Su Shi dared to scold everything. For example, in his "Dongpo Zhilin" miscellaneous talks, there is an article "Emperor Wu sat in the toilet to see Wei Qing", in which he wrote nonchalantly "If Wei Qing is a slave, it is elegant to lick hemorrhoids. It is just right to sit in the toilet to see him."
However, considering that Su Shi was a famous troll who would scold anything when he was in the mood, and now some scholars have examined this collection of essays, Su Shi made more than one mistake in it, which shows that it was written quite casually.
This shows how despised and lowly it was to join the army in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
It's just a pity that when the Northern Song Dynasty finally fell, these "red men" who had been spurned by court officials and literati for a hundred years still had to try to save the collapsing building.
In the first year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers besieged Kaifeng for the second time. The 66-year-old Zong Ze led the righteous army and "served the king".
A small army crossed the Yellow River on ice and tried hard to persuade Zhao Gou to lift the siege.
Unfortunately, Zhao Gou was known to the world for his cowardice. Even because of Zong Ze's tough attitude against the Jin, this tough old man was unanimously excluded by Zhao Gou and his subordinates.
In the end, Zhao Gou, as the marshal, fled south with his ministers without looking back.
The old minister Zong Ze thought of his legacy, and his lone army went straight to Kaifeng, winning thirteen consecutive victories.
Zong Ze was undoubtedly stubborn. Even though the Northern Song Dynasty had perished, he remained steadfast in his quest to recover Bianliang and turn the city from a dangerous place into a strong one.
Under his leadership, the people in Kaifeng in the second year of the Jingkang period even had time to decorate their houses and bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, which was considered a final farewell to the Northern Song Dynasty.
But Zong Ze was undoubtedly stupid. Knowing that Zhao Gou had no backbone, he still wrote 24 "Petitions to Return to the Capital" in a year to ask Zhao Gou to return to the capital Bianjing and lead the Northern Expedition against the Jin Dynasty, which made Zhao Gou unhappy and he frequently obstructed the anti-Jin campaign.
After spending the last years of his life stationed in Bianliang for two years, the 68-year-old Zong Ze died unwillingly. His son Zong Ying and his general Yue Fei carried the coffin to Zhenjiang and buried him with his wife in Jingxian Mountain.
When talking about Zong Ze's dying words in front of the grave, there was no talk of family affairs, only three shouts:
"Cross the river! Cross the river! Cross the river!!"]
〖How regrettable it is for an old general to be defeated? Six expeditions to Qishan, but the Han Dynasty has not recovered. Three calls to cross the river, but the ambition is still unfulfilled. It is a pity that the achievement failed at the last moment, which only makes the hero hate endlessly!
When there is no hero, Zong Ze is elegant. The mountains and rivers are broken, and the national feud still exists. How unwilling is it to have unfulfilled ambitions!
Zong Ze really deserves the sigh of "dying before the mission is accomplished, often makes heroes cry", which is very similar to Prime Minister Zhuge. It's a pity that Zhao Gou is far inferior to Adou!
Zhang Fei: Say more, my big brother likes to hear it.
Li Shimin: Solitary loyalty and great integrity, shining with the sun and the moon; worrying about the country and the people, his sorrow is beyond the sympathy of the rivers and rivers.
Brother, you smell good... I mean your literary talent.
Brother, your character is broken, how can Erfeng be so sentimental, shouldn't it be "The black armor army obeys orders, the whole army attacks!"
The time and space gate still has 30 seconds to reach the battlefield, right? If you really want to play like this, it is recommended to go south and destroy Zhao Gou, this shameful thing, as soon as possible. 〗
In the Han Chang'an General's Mansion, the hall was silent.
Zhang Fei looked left and right, watching the changing expression of Liu Bei at the top, pondered for a while and carefully guessed:
"Don't be angry, brother... Didn't the younger generation say that this Su Daxueshi was careless and didn't mean to humiliate Changping Hou."
Liu Bei looked at his brother expressionlessly, and finally sighed:
"I'm just an illiterate, why should I be angry?"
"The record of Emperor Xiaowu sitting on the toilet and looking at it by Taishigong is a record of Emperor Xiaowu seeing Changping Hou beside the couch, not going to the toilet."
Liu Bei could even smell the misunderstanding, and Emperor Xiaowu and Changping Hou had been dead for nearly three hundred years, and Su Daxueshi was also eight hundred years away from now, so why should I be angry?
So after throwing all the messy thoughts about Yide out of his head, Liu Bei turned his head and looked at the military advisors and said:
"This year, things will be accomplished, and there will be no tears and sighs."
Kong Ming bowed, and Pang Tong smiled and greeted:
"My lord, why are you so sentimental? We are not yet forty years old. Even if it doesn't work this year, it will be enough to spend another two years to complete it."
This time, Liu Bei was a little sad. He pinched his thigh. Well, although the thigh meat has not grown back, he is more than ten years older than Shi Yuan.
Zhang Fei was extremely perceptive at this time. He immediately stood up and patted his chest and said:
"Why can't it be done this year? Military Advisor only needs to give me ten of those fine iron cannons. I can make Cao the thief know what tears are without a large army!"
Then the atmosphere in the hall was immediately diluted, and Liu Bei was busy teaching Yide:
"The fine iron cannon is indeed strong, but it is not as slow as the crossbow cart in terms of movement. If Zhang Wenyuan suddenly joins with cavalry, the fine iron cannon will be useless!"
Zhang Fei begged for mercy, Pang Tong laughed, Liu Bei took the opportunity to hit his third brother on the forehead in revenge, Fa Zheng raised his head and smiled helplessly, then buried his head and continued to work.
Kong Ming smiled warmly, and occasionally raised his head to see the last words that seemed to be full of tears, and couldn't help but take a breath, whispering:
"Fighting the enemy on the battlefield... for today."
