The King of Water Margin Volume 689 Chapter 689 The Tang and Song gangs Su Yuanjing couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Gao, really high. In this way, Tian Hu is a man of thousands of people, and he must be a loser and helpless person. No one will help him. Your Highness's plan is no less than 100,000 soldiers."

It turns out that the most important thing in war is to be famous. This was even more so in ancient times when benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Therefore, in addition to the complete decisive hatred between different races, internal wars generally require a grand excuse, and everyone will find ways to stand at the moral high point to show that they are the righteous teacher.

Some people may think that this is not important. Whether justice is not spoken but fought can only be seen on the battlefield. If you think so, you will be wrong. This name of starting a military master seems to be unable to help you kill the enemy on the battlefield, but it is very helpful in other aspects.

For example, if the party that takes the truth will gain the hearts of the people, thus gaining huge advantages in intelligence, logistics, public opinion, etc. The purpose behind most wars is actually for the benefit. Except for those lunatics, few people fight for wars, so you fight to occupy the other party's land resources and population. If you have become a so-called "tyrant" and your team has become a "bandit", then even if you win, you will have to spend a lot of trouble in the later rule.

However, this name is like a little girl, dressed up by the winners. Generally speaking, everyone will have their own opinions. Few people can completely gain the upper hand. Just like you are obviously the leader of the invasion of the other party, you can also find an excuse to say that the other party is wrong first, such as stealing your money, your horse, your horse, etc., and then mudging the water to the end, it will be difficult to explain. However, this time Tian Hu was in trouble. He killed the imperial envoy from the court in order to make a quick move. The so-called war between the two countries and not killing the envoy. He was a big taboo.

In addition, Du Jia's slogan was even more powerful. If the court was only limited to internal conflicts among the people, Du Jia forced him to the swamp of national justice. In the Song Dynasty, whether it was the government, the people, or the forces in the martial arts world, at least they still thought they were Han people and had no good feelings for the Western Xia Kingdom. However, the glorious deeds of Tang Kingdom helping the court defeat the Western Xia barbarians had long been widely publicized by the court. Although the main purpose of the court was to promote the majesty of its own country, Tang Kingdom was also famous.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty became the incarnation of justice and the hero of the Han people, while Tian Hu was an accomplice of the Xixia. Although the facts may not be true, the people above did not care, while ordinary people believed in the truth.

Therefore, when the imperial court and Tang State jointly bombed the public opinion with one official and one private, Tian Hu was caught off guard and was overwhelmed. In just a few days, he became a rat crossing the street. He was so angry that he even killed several of his subordinates but could not extricate his anger.

He also tried to resist, but he was obviously extremely powerless in front of the court who had mastered the official channels and Du Jia, who was righteous in the martial arts world. At this time, Tian Hu finally realized that the person who was stupid before was not Du Jia, but himself. At that time, he killed the imperial envoy of the court but only robbed 10,000 or 20,000 yuan of property, but now it seems that he has suffered a huge loss.

Moreover, it was even more troublesome to Tian Hu. After the announcement, the court and the Tang Kingdom actually sent troops together. You must know that they fought more than a year ago. Why did they become like brothers in a blink of an eye? What's the point? Du Jia's diplomatic ability is too terrible?

What is most shocking is that I heard that the command of the coalition forces was actually the King of Tang Du Jia. This was an unprecedented event for the court, which has always regarded itself as the Supreme State of the Celestial Kingdom. After the news spread, the whole world was shocked, and everyone found it incredible.

But the Song soldiers of the coalition forces felt that it was very normal. Du Jia said calmly in the tent: "We must not only win this first battle, but also do a beautiful job. I decided that our goal is here!"

After saying that, Du Jia used his hand to press the map, and everyone looked closely and found that it was Fenyang Mansion, and the guardian was Tian Hu's second brother Tian Bao. It can be said that it was an extremely important city in the power of the King of Jin.

The civil and military officials of the Tang army had long been accustomed to Du Jia's foresight and nodded repeatedly, but the generals of the Song Dynasty were somewhat confused, but no one was embarrassed to speak. Du Jia smiled when he saw their expressions: "You don't have to be polite. If you have any ideas, just listen to the side, you will be clear. Only when you listen together can you win every battle. General Zhang Qing, your Dongchang Mansion is closest to Fenyang Mansion, and you are the most familiar with it. Just tell me your opinions."

Seeing that Du Jia was so approachable and kind, Zhang Qing's concerns were also dispelled. After giving a bow, he said loudly: "This Tian Bao is indeed the old opponent of the Du General. We have fought this Fenyang Mansion several times. We have sufficient soldiers and food and a tall city. Tian Bao is also a powerful general and has many helpers under his command. The Du General is a little puzzled. Why don't we start from a simple place first? It can also improve morale when it starts well. Didn't the military strategy say that it is difficult to do it in advance?"

All the generals of the Song Dynasty nodded frequently, and obviously agreed with Zhang Qing's opinion. Du Jia smiled and said, "General Zhang's opinion is very good. If it is normal, it should be done this, but we are different this time. First, we understand this principle, so the people on Tian Hu's side naturally understand it, so we will have unexpected effects when we attack Fenyang Mansion; Second, we have suppressed them in public opinion these days, and they are frustrated. We must have thought that we will take action so soon; Third, the closest to our Tang State is Yushe County, where the enemy's defense is also the strongest, but they would never have thought that the court allowed us to send troops directly from Dongping Mansion after we joined forces, so the defense of Fenyang Mansion will not be too strong. It is precisely because of these three favorable factors that I decided to attack Fenyang Mansion first. What do you think?"

After Du Jia's careful analysis, the generals of the Song Dynasty were all convinced. At first, they thought that Du Jia would be like commanders from the Song Dynasty, such as Gao Qiu and Yang Jian, who knew nothing about military affairs, but they still had to make decisions in everything. You can't disobey anything, otherwise he would use his official power to suppress you. Du Jia seemed to be obviously a big expert, and he also reasoned equally with everyone instead of using his power to suppress others. It would be fine for the generals of the Tang army, but the Song generals felt respected from the bottom of their hearts and their morale was immediately higher.
