Li Dangchen looked at Ma Hanshan and said with a smile: "Brother Ma is really smart and he guessed it right."
Ma Hanshan noticed that the eunuch's smile was getting more and more ambiguous, and he couldn't help but feel wary. What did he want to do? He used to call me Master Kanshan, then he called me Kanshan, and now he calls me Brother Ma. Brother, oh, what's wrong with this old guy's smile?
So….
Li Dangchen felt uncomfortable when Ma Hanshan saw him. He stared back at Ma Hanshan and said, "Brother... this is an excellent opportunity to make a contribution."
"Hmph, sir, I treat you as a friend, but you treat me as a fool. This is the perfect opportunity to die. Is the emperor's brain broken? How could he come up with such a ridiculous idea?
A child goes to defend the enemy." Ma Hanshan looked at Li Dangchen and said bitterly, "Honestly, is this idea something an adult would suggest?"
Well, the look in this boy's eyes was so scary. Li Dangchen couldn't help but shudder, and waved his hands repeatedly: "No... no, this is the emperor's... the emperor's idea... how can we have more slaves in our family for such important national events?"
Say it."
Li Dangchen didn't understand why he was frightened by this boy's eyes. After denying it, he remembered that this bastard actually called the emperor directly. It was really treasonous. Isn't he afraid of death?
He raised his head and stared at Ma Hanshan and said: "Ma Hanshan, you just deceived me..."
"Have you? Have I? What did I say?" Ma Hanshan shrugged disapprovingly and said, "Hey, where did the wild dog attack? Let me guess, it's Lizhou Road. It can't be Huainan East, nor
It may be west of Huainan, or southwest of Beijing, I will definitely know the news earlier than the court. Therefore, it can only be Lizhou Road."
After Ma Hanshan finished speaking, he was scolding Shen Lang as a bastard. He couldn't find out any information about such an important matter in advance. Until today, there is still no news for him. Didn't Jingzhaofu Road and Lizhou Road have established contact long ago?
Are you standing? What do those bastards do for food? To be so oblivious. Humph, I need to straighten things out later.
In fact, before Jingzhao Mansion launched its attack, Shen Lang had already received news that there were changes in the garrison at Jingzhao Mansion. However, Shen Lang believed that Donghu should not dare to invade the south at this time, so he did not report the news to Ma Hanshan. Every day
The amount of news that needed to be reported to Ma Hanshan was too large, and there was a serious shortage of carrier pigeons at each station. Therefore, the news that he considered unimportant was copied in code words and packaged every ten days and sent to Lin'an by courier.
As a result, the news about the changes in Jingzhao Mansion received a few days ago is still on the way to Lin'an. As for the news about Hu Bing going south, in fact, it was delivered to Lin'an on the fourth day of May and arrived at Mahan Mountain on the Dragon Boat Festival.
However, he was too busy on the Dragon Boat Festival day, so he didn't see the latest news. The next day, he hurried to Mingzhou again.
Therefore, in this way, the news that he originally knew one day earlier than Long Guangning actually found out after Li Dangchen came.
In fact, the liaison station established by Mahanshan is very efficient. The reason why the imperial court does not use the method of carrier pigeons and the so-called eight-hundred-mile express is because carrier pigeons are not humans after all, and the probability of accidents is much greater than that of humans. Therefore, it is not
Dare to use homing pigeons.
The reason why Ma Hanshan uses homing pigeons is, firstly, because what he wants to convey is mostly business information, and it doesn't matter if it is lost. Furthermore, every one of his contact stations has pigeon breeders, and whether the pigeons are well raised is related to income and life.
No one dares to be careless. The most important thing is that the contact station uses encrypted letters, so others will not know what to say if they pick it up.
Although Li Dangchen wanted to suppress Ma Hanshan by seizing Ma Hanshan's disrespectful words about the emperor, but seeing Ma Hanshan's disapproving look, he knew that this so-called disrespectful boy did not take it seriously at all.
It was impossible to suppress them at all. After hearing his precise analysis of Hu Bing's southward route, he couldn't help but ignore the idea of suppressing Mahan Mountain.
Haha, luckily he forgot this thought, otherwise, who would have felt uncomfortable in the end.
"Then why aren't they the border troops on Fengxiang Road and Lintao Road?" Although Li Dangchen was asking for advice, he pretended to be unconvinced.
"Haha, the Hu soldiers on Lintao Road sleep with their eyes open. How dare they go south? When Xixia and Beimeng are dead, they are eager for the east Hu Lintao border troops to go south, so they just take this opportunity to insert this into the west
Cut off a corner of Xixia and Xixia. If this corner is taken away, the strategic situation of the entire country will be different for Xixia, and we can face Dasong directly. This is probably something Xixia has only dreamed of over the years.
Let’s do it.” Ma Hanshan said, looking at the rolling Dabo River with his hands behind his back.
The leader of Ma Dazhai is a moral businessman who cares about his country. He has long analyzed the situation and border situation of various countries and has already imprinted it on his mind.
Dasong is a big fat piece of meat that the northern and western countries have always coveted. However, their national strength was not as strong as Donghu's before, and their courage was not as courageous as Donghu's people, so they let Donghu take away such a big piece first.
Now, Donghu's national power is gradually weakening, and all of them are drooling looking at Donghu and Dasong.
Ma Hanshan glanced at Li Dangchen and continued: "As for Fengxiang Road, it is even worse. Not only does it have to face the pressure of Xixia, but it also has to withstand the squeeze of Lintao and Jingzhao. Moreover, even if Fengxiang Road does not have to bear the pressure of Lintao
With Jingzhao's squeeze, he doesn't have to worry about Xixia's eager eyes. He can't find a suitable attack point to go south. There are only two places where Fengxiang and Dasong border where he can march, Tianshui to the west, and Dashanguan.
.However, Tianshui, Dashanguan and Dashong all have heavy troops."
"And the most important thing is that both Fengxiang and Lintao are relatively poor places, with insufficient money and food, and the defenders are not that energetic. Therefore, only the Hu soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion who are full and have nothing to do can go south." Ma Hanshan
After a pause, he said in a deep voice with a suspicious expression, "Of course, it is very strange that the Hu soldiers went south this time. Mr. Li, is my guess correct? Also, how many troops did Hu Gou send?"
Ma Hanshan's analysis just now was based on the normal military theory analysis to determine the route of the Hu soldiers going south. But if combined with the domestic situation in Donghu, he believed that Hu Ting would never send troops south to invade Song at this time. Therefore, he felt that this time the Hu soldiers committed a crime
Song, it is definitely a matter with an inside story. Since there is an inside story, it doesn’t have to be crossing the border from Shiquan.
Although Li Dangchen was a little angry at being robbed by Ma Hanshan just now, after listening to Ma Hanshan's analysis, he had to admire Ma Hanshan. He thought to himself, it is really amazing that a big boy has such a vision. No wonder the emperor would value him.
"Brother Ma, you guessed it right. The Hu thieves are indeed crossing Ziwu Mountain to invade the Shiquan border and want to break through Raofeng Pass and go south." Li Dangchen thought for a moment and then said, "According to the Shiquan Ankang emergency report, there are three to four thousand invading Hu soldiers.
There are so many people.”
"Three or four thousand people? Hu Gou is crazy. Isn't this all the troops along the border of Jingzhao Prefecture? Is there any other news? Is there any more specific and detailed information in Shi Quan's report?" Ma Hanshan felt that Donghu's dispatch of troops was full of doubts.
.
"General Bi and the emperor analyzed that maybe there is a traitor in Donghu's Jingzhao Mansion." Li Dangchen had forgotten the little unpleasantness just now and started a heated discussion with Ma Hanshan.
"Hu traitors? Well, the Hu soldiers marching south can scare the Dasong people. In this way, they can promote the Dasong Alliance to destroy the Hu... Alas, not only the Han people have traitors, but the Hu people also have traitors. This kind of behavior is simply betraying our ancestors.
." Ma Hanshan suddenly became enlightened. He glanced at Li Dangchen and said, "Sir, please return to Beijing as soon as possible. I think that after the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government know about this, someone will definitely suggest that your emperor quickly join forces with Northern Mongolia to attack Hu Yongbing.
."
The ideas of Ma Hanshan and Bi Jiyu coincided with each other, but Ma Hanshan was more certain that this was a trick of the Mongols. Therefore, when the news of the Hu soldiers' invasion of the border reached Lin'an, someone would definitely take the opportunity to urge the emperor to unite with the Northern Mongols.
Of course, some of these people are out to avenge the killing of Hu, and have no other intentions. However, it is certain that some of them speak for Northern Mongolia.
Those who are bent on destroying Hu and taking revenge are simply blinded by hatred. They have no idea how serious the consequences of joining forces with Meng to destroy Hu will be. They are simply inviting the wolf into the house.
As for those people with ulterior motives, perhaps they have been bribed by Northern Mongolia, or they are basically the work of the Northern Mongolian infiltration group.
It's terrible. The Northern Mongolian wolf is even more ambitious than the Hu.
"Then Ni? It's one thing to say something in court, but who will retreat? Brother Ma, you obviously have the ability to retreat, why don't you serve the country?" Although Li Dangchen was a eunuch and cunning, he was a dragon.
Guangning’s loyal dog and absolutely loyal minister.
Therefore, he didn't understand why Ma Hanshan didn't help Long Guangning.
"I don't have that ability. Even if I had the ability, it would be too late to rush to Lizhou from Mingzhou. However, Ma can recommend someone to defend the enemy." Ma Hanshan said very seriously.
"Who?" Li Dangchen was very anxious because the emperor was very anxious.
"The Tea Horse Master of Lizhou promoted Meng Lianggon." Ma Hanshan said calmly.
Ma Hanshan almost laughed out loud. Originally, he asked Meng Lianggon to ask for the promotion of "disposal secretary". Firstly, it was to facilitate the horse trade, and secondly, it was to accumulate merit for Meng Lianggon. With merit, he would be able to
Get promoted.
But he didn't expect that the Hu people would actually give him such a good opportunity, and Meng Lianggon would have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds before he even took office.
"General Meng's Shiro? He...isn't he just...still on the way? Is he good? Is he really good?" Li Dangchen connected several questions.
"Master Li, you and I hit it off as old friends and we will never go back on each other. Let me tell you the truth. In the Meng family, including General Meng, Meng Silang is definitely the number one in terms of civil affairs, martial arts, and horse administration. However, these years,
He has never had a chance to show off, and because he was studying literature and martial arts at one time, others thought he was just a playboy who was neither good at literature nor martial arts. Therefore, your Excellency must persuade the emperor to let him defend the enemy." Ma Hanshan said very solemnly.
Li Dangchen looked at Ma Hanshan seriously, stared for a moment and said, "Brother, you will help him secretly, right?"
"Haha, my lord, just tell the emperor, if Meng Silang can't annihilate the enemy, others can't do it either." Ma Hanshan said with a laugh.
"Okay, I'll go back to Beijing right away..." Li Dangchen understood what Ma Hanshan meant.
