Chapter 863 Stick to Youzhou, it's easy to stop the car
Chapter 863
In short, these victories are closely related to Wang Yang, and don’t forget that at first, Wang Yang came forward to infer that the Liao Kingdom recruited troops from the northern tribes, which was likely to be the prelude to the war with the Song Dynasty.
"... It was also because he made countless preparations in advance that the Song Dynasty was able to achieve the victory of today. Therefore, I said that it has great relations with Wang Aiqing. Do you agree?"
"Your Majesty said this is great. If Wang Wushan had not taken charge of the overall situation in the three states, I am afraid that the three states would not have lasted for so long, and the war might even hit the hinterland of Shaanxi Road." Liu Zhi cleared his throat and made a very pertinent evaluation.
Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the old driver Liu Zhi was quite sensible.
Liu Zhi saw Zhao Xu's expression and continued to say, "But Your Majesty, although my Song Dynasty has won consecutive victories, whether it is to seize Yinzhou or go deep into the hinterland of Xixia to cause chaos, it is suspected of taking advantage of tricks. However, the threat of the Liaoxia coalition forces is still there, and although Yuzhou is managed by Lord Wang and has persisted for so long, its military strength is weak in the end..."
"So the old minister thinks that now, it should be time to stop when you see it is better..."
"Stop when you see it's good?" Zhao Xu's face showed a little displeasure. "I don't know what Liu Xiang means. Do you think that although I, the Song Dynasty, have an advantage, cannot last long, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise. After all, Youzhou City is not big, and it does not accommodate many troops. It has been nearly moon-like. Lord Wang has been asking for half a general and a soldier for my Song Dynasty. I believe that the military and civilians in Youzhou City are trapped in nearly moons, and I am afraid that they will be miserable." Liu Zhi nodded and replied.
On this side, Zhu Guangting, who had already understood Liu Zhi's intention, also jumped out, and acted like he was worried about the country and the people, and kept saying. "Since my Song Dynasty is at the advantage of the situation, as long as my Song Dynasty has the will to show good deeds, it is equivalent to giving Xixia and Liao a step to go."
Next, civil and military officials stood up one after another to analyze the comparison of troops between the Song Dynasty and Liao and Xia Dynasty in detail.
Now, in the three states, the total number of Song troops is only 270,000 to 80,000, while the total number of Liao and Xia coalition forces has reached 500,000.
In addition, the borders such as Hedong Road and the Liao Kingdom have frequently experienced friction, which are likely to become the prelude to the Liao Kingdom's massive move south.
After all, there is no way to take advantage of these three states, and the Liao Kingdom, which has always been arrogant, will definitely not give up. It will inevitably find a way to find a way to find face from other places.
Zhao Xu was very dissatisfied at first, but when these guys made great efforts, Zhao Xu couldn't help but hesitate. It seemed that some of these people were nonsense, but there were a lot of things that made sense.
Importantly, Zhao Xu did not want Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, a famous minister who was in the world, to be buried in these three states.
This also aggravated Zhao Xu's hesitation, but in the end he stabilized his emotions and shook his head slowly.
"The words of your family are indeed reasonable, but I still need to think carefully before making a decision. Well, now, let's discuss the matter of meritorious service and reward..."
"..." Liu Zhi almost wanted to swear. He was about to fool the emperor into making peace with Liaoxia. Why did the emperor suddenly wake up at the last moment?
After the court meeting ended, a group of old party bosses gathered in the mansion of Prime Minister Liu Zhi.
They had already changed into regular clothes and enjoyed the refreshments presented by the beautiful ladies and ladies in Liu Zhi's mansion. While discussing national affairs, they occasionally glanced at the young lady who was playing musical instruments not far away to cheer up.
After Liu Zhi took a few sips of tea, before he could speak, Zhu Guangting next to him started to speak. "It's such a pity today. I'm watching a good opportunity slip away."
Liu Zhishen nodded with consent. "If Your Majesty is right and you are discussing peace at this time, then we will have the best efforts to contribute and will dominate the entire negotiation. Unfortunately, it's a pity that the chess is missing..."
Liu Zhi was very scheming and conceited. At the beginning, everyone agreed that Wang Wushan was defending Yuzhou to the death, just a mantis armed mantis blocking the chariot and seeking death.
So at that time, the emperor anxiously sent troops to Shaanxi Road to assist in the war, but they did not stand up to stop it, because they also knew the young emperor's moral character of enterprisingness, and there was no need to argue with Shao Tiannianzi head-on at that time.
What's more, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are approaching, and these old party bosses have been thinking about how many days Wang Wushan will be, and Su Dongpo will be defeated in Shaanxi Road. Then they will stand up and show the emperor that there is a solution, that is, peace talks.
As a result, the stinky brat in Wang Wushan kept running to the city of Youzhou, blocking the more than 300,000 Liaoxia coalition forces from the Liao and Xia dynasties to advance.
Then, Zhe Keshi rushed to the hinterland of Xingqing Prefecture in Xixia to cause trouble, and Su Dongpo could also wait leisurely for the reinforcements sent by the capital to arrive, and with nearly ten times the advantage of military strength, he won the empty Yinzhou.
However, even so, the Liao and Xia army still had the advantage in size, and the Song Dynasty formed a certain advantage in the local area at most.
However, the source of these advantages comes from Wang Wushan, a hard-working man, who used Youzhou as a bet and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the Song Dynasty as a bet.
Once the city of Youzhou is broken, the Liaoxia coalition will inevitably have no scruples, breaking down the dike like a flood. At that time, who can stop it?
For the happy and peaceful life of the millions of people in the Song Dynasty, for the peacekeeping of the Shaanxi Road of the Song Dynasty, and for the temporary rest of the war between the Three Kingdoms and allow the people to rest. Peace talks are necessary. Of course, Liu Zhi did not forget to remind the emperor to Xu when he was in court.
That is, it is better to talk now than to wait until the city of Youzhou is broken. The peace talks are now because our Song Dynasty is occupying a certain advantage, and this is the capital for negotiation.
But if the city of Youzhou was destroyed and the war was raging on the Shaanxi Road of the Song Dynasty, haha, you, the emperor, may not be able to escape. What's more, your favorite minister, Wang Wushan, who is known as the world's number one talent, is squatting in the city of Youzhou.
If the city of Youzhou is broken, the guy's life will definitely not be able to be saved. Even if it is saved, we will definitely pursue some of the culprits that caused the wars in the border areas of Shaanxi, our Song Dynasty.
I'm afraid that the emperor Zhao Xu is most worried about this, and he almost agreed, but why he left the topic aside at a critical moment? This really made a group of old party bosses unable to understand even if they think about it.
