Wei Wei saw that only Jiang Tianlong and Tian Qi were left beside him and said impatiently,"Foolish nephew, quickly tell me what the hidden poem means.”
Jiang Tianlong reread the four lines of the poem.
Old things come with the wind,
there are no obstacles on all sides of the road.
On Crouching Dragon Mountain the heroic spirit is here,
I travel thousands of miles to distinguish between loyalty and inferiority.
He explained,"
Old things come with the wind.
Da Tong Four Paths Without Obstacles.
On Crouching Dragon Mountain, the first word of the heroic soul was the word " lying ".
The first word is the bottom word.
The first words of the four sentences were "Chen Da's undercover"!
"Chen Da is undercover!" Wei Wei stood up in shock and said,""Chen Da is the third leader of Mount Shaohua and the 72nd hero of Liangshan Lake. How could he be a spy? This is impossible!"
Seven Fields was also dumbfounded. He looked at Jiang Tianlong and said,"Cousin, did you disassemble it accurately? Chen Da was the third leader of Mount Shaohua. If he was a spy, the loyal army would collapse soon!”
"This is Grandpa's brilliance!”Jiang Tianlong said happily,"I've escaped from the tiger's den to take shelter. I'm a hero." He cleverly concealed the sound of thunder and acted according to the situation as if he were a god.”
Jiang Tianlong paused for a moment before continuing,"In order to eliminate the panic in front of Cao Cao, Liu Bei used thunder to cover it up." Grandpa had planted Chen Da as a spy in the loyalty army. It was a dangerous move but also a brilliant one!”
Wei Wei suddenly understood and laughed,"In that case, Father has already recruited Chen Da and let him go undercover on Mount Shaohua. At the critical moment, he can play the role of a sea-calming divine needle!”
"Grand Advisor deceived us all!" Tian Qi followed Wei Wei's words.”
"Grandpa is only below one person and above tens of thousands of people. Isn't it a piece of cake for the prime minister of a big country to do such a small thing?" Jiang Tianlong laughed.”
Wei Wei started to dance with his hands and feet, sitting on the armchair and swaying,""Foolish nephew, what do you think we should do…"
Jiang Tianlong pondered for a moment and said confidently,"" Of course, we'll take two steps. We've already decided to send three groups of people to ask for reinforcements. Now, my nephew is going to take the second step…"
"Wait, wait, wait!" Wei Wei raised his arm and said," Uncle, there's something that I don't understand. Is Grand Preceptor Tong in Yongxing Army camp?!"”
Wei Wei said with conviction," Grand Preceptor Tong is leading the imperial court's army to attack Qingtang. They are currently engaged in a fierce battle. How can they be squatting in the Yongxing Army camp?!"”
Jiang Tianlong chuckled." Uncle, you have a good memory. Grand Preceptor Tong led the imperial court's army to attack Qingtang, but our army had already won the battle of Qingtang!" I reckon that Grand Preceptor Tong is currently at the Yongxing Army camp in Jingzhao Prefecture!!”
Wei Wei frowned and said," My nephew is right. However, Bianjing is 900 miles away from Huazhou. It will take at least two days to rush 600 miles. It will take at least five to six days for Grand Advisor's reinforcements to arrive. Distant water cannot quench the thirst of the present!"”
"Don't we still have reinforcements from Grand Preceptor Tong and the Governor of Huazhou, Jin Xinshu?”"The reinforcements from Baihe County and the Hua Prefecture will arrive in half a day. The reinforcements from the Capital Prefecture will arrive in a day!" Jiang Tianlong said solemnly.”
"The Yongxing Army's residence is in Jingzhao Prefecture, but I'm not sure if Grand Preceptor Tong is there!" Tian Qi interjected.”
"This general is certain that Grand Preceptor Tong is in the Yongxing Army!”"After Grand Preceptor Tong wins the Battle of Qingtang, he will have to comfort the troops in the Jingzhao Prefecture. Then, he will return to the capital and report the victory to the Emperor!"”
Wei Wei saw that Jiang Tianlong's explanation was logical and could not help but laugh awkwardly."How does my nephew know so much about Grand Preceptor Tong's whereabouts?”
"Foolish nephew has 'Frontline Military Intelligence'!”Jiang Tianlong said bluntly,"The Frontline Military Intelligence reports the movements of Grand Preceptor Tong and the situation of both sides!"”
"The frontline?" Wei Wei was shocked. The Imperial Court did it?"
Jiang Tianlong pondered for a moment before he smiled." Grand Preceptor Tong is in charge of this. Not only does he relay the battle situation and news of the border troops to the Imperial Court, but he also has a general judgment and analysis of the enemy's forces and the situation!”
Tian Qi was stunned." Grand Preceptor Tong is a prime minister, but he actually has such a high level of scheming. Using battle reports to convey information from the front line, it can be said to be a creation!”
Jiang Tianlong chuckled." Although Grand Preceptor Tong is a eunuch, he is tall and sturdy. His skin and bones are as strong as iron. His eyes are bright and his face is dark. He has a beard under his chin. At first glance, he looks very masculine. He does not look like a castrated man. It may be because he was almost twenty years old before he became a virgin!”
Jiang Tianlong swallowed deeply and said,"For thousands of years, the only eunuch with a beard was Eunuch Tong. Eunuch Tong was magnanimous and could spend money. He was quite generous and managed the relationship with the people around the emperor very well. He was an old lady who could write and fight!”
"I see!" "Why don't you tell me about Grand Preceptor Tong's expedition to Qingtang?" Wei Wei said with envy.”
Jiang Tianlong said," Uncle, don't be anxious. I'll arrange for three quick horses to ask for help. I'll be back soon to nag you!"”
Jiang Tianlong called over three team leaders, each leading a small team (a team of three people and four team leaders). They went to Bianjing, Jingzhao Prefecture, Huazhou, and Baihe County respectively to request reinforcements.
After the three teams left, Jiang Tianlong returned to the main hall of the Dragon Roaring Villa and told Wei Wei, Tian Qi, and the dozen or so guards of the Four Shades of Cold Light the story of Tong Guan leading the army to conquer Qingtang.
The Northern Song Dynasty's strategy of conquering Helong could be divided into three historical stages:
One was the Song Shenzong Xining fifth year (1072),"Xi River opened the border".
The second was the Battle of Yuanfu Hehuang in the second year of Yuanfu (1099).
The third was the Battle of Hehuang in Chongning in 1103.
The attack on Helong had gone through three generations of emperors, Shenzong, Zhezong and Huizong, which took 32 years.
Song Zhezong took advantage of the civil strife of Hehuang Tubo and ordered Wang Han and Wang Shan to lead the army from Hezhou (Gansu Province) to attack Qingtang (Qinghai Xining).
The Song army's westward advance was rather smooth. In less than a month, they arrived at Qingtang City. At that time, the ruler of Qingtang had a 'blind expedition' and escaped into a Buddhist temple to become a monk.
The successor leader,"Long Bi", and the other leaders, as well as the Khitan, Xia, and Uighur princesses, opened the city to surrender.
After the eastern part of Qinghai fell into the hands of Tubo during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, it was recovered by the imperial army of the Central Plains for the first time in 350 years.
However, the Song army's occupation did not go smoothly. Soon, the Tubo tribes set off a wave of resistance.
Even the fifth-generation leader of the Northern Song Dynasty, Long Qiong, was abandoned by the Tubo forces.
The Tubo forces set up a new king in Qingtang City,"Xiaolongyi", and called on the people to resist the Northern Song Dynasty. Most of the Tubo territory recovered during the reign of Song Zhezong fell.
After King Duan ascended the throne and became Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, he was determined to do something. He worshiped Tong Guan as the Privy Council Envoy (Minister of Defense) and supervised the army. Wang Hou was the pacification envoy of Taoxi, commanding the imperial army to attack Qingtang.
Tong Guan drank in the tavern of Xiqi in Bianliang before the expedition and got to know the shopkeeper Su Erchong. Su Erchong was familiar with the geographical customs of Hehuang area, so Tong Guan insisted on letting him be a guide.
Su Er was impulsive. His wife, Qin Yue 'niang, stopped her husband from going and said confidently,"My husband is a tavern owner, not a soldier. Why did Lord Tong send him to Qingtang?”
Tong Guan said that Brother Liang had been doing business in Qingtang in his early years and was familiar with the local customs and geographical environment. He was a rare talent for the imperial court to recover Qingtang. For the unification of the country, he hoped that his wife could let him go.
Qin Yue Niang did not give up. When the matter reached Grand Advisor Cai Jing, Cai Jing vouched for him, saying that if anything happened to Su Erchong, the court would invest 1000 strings of money to raise his wife and children.
Qin Yue Niang couldn't persuade Grand Preceptor Cai, so she could only agree to her husband Su Erchong's request to follow Tong Guan to the west.
Tong Guan had Su Erchong as a guide and boasted," To restore the old land, we should recruit them with kindness and faith. If they are stubborn and disobedient, we will kill them. However, if we destroy one or two clans, we will be able to settle them."
This month, Tong Guan divided his troops into two routes, with Gao Yongnian, the border general of Minzhou, as the commander of an army. He ordered him to lead more than 20,000 troops in Lanzhou and Minzhou to set out from Jingyu Pass and rush to Huangzhou.
