Hearing that Ning Yuan's army actually wanted to attack the hinterland of Khitan directly, the old emperor and the Grand Prime Minister were all stunned and shocked, and then they soon felt happy and encouraged, so that the pressure of their Song army on the border would be reduced.
If the Ningyuan Army and the Khitan can come to an end and both sides suffer losses, it will be a happy event for everyone.
"Officials and ministers, in fact, our Ningyuan Army really wants to invite the British Duke and lead the army to march from the border of Song and Liao. This will also prevent the Khitan army from looking at each other, and our chances of success in the Song Dynasty will also increase.
A lot." Then Suning said to the shocked old emperor and grand ministers, so that they could share the pressure they encountered.
"Huh?" At this time, the old emperor and the two great ministers looked at each other in astonishment.
"Prince Ning, since your Ningyuan Army has captured the southwest and needs to rest, our Song Army naturally also needs to rest and take a breather, so the Song Army's dispatch of troops from the border is a bit troublesome." At this time, Mr. Shen Daxiangong was silent.
He said treacherously again, because this was the mentality of the old emperor and Mr. Han at this time.
"Haha, officials, dear princes, we have to say something first. Whoever captures the Khitan and Xixia lands will belong to them. Even the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun has the same rules. Don't see our Ningyuan Army then.
You guys who eat meat are jealous." Suning had already guessed that the three cowards in front of him would not agree. You must know that as soon as they open their eyes now, they will think that it is not the time to take back Yanyun Sixteen States, day after day, year after year.
Naturally, if this continues, we will never be able to regain the lost land.
"..."
Hearing that Suning was so cautious in making such ugly remarks, the old emperor and several princes became a little bit confused. There is no doubt about the superior strength of Ning Yuan's army, and it is absolutely possible to attack the hinterland of Khitan.
If the Khitan's vitality is severely damaged, Ning Yuan's army will suffer some losses. If Ning Yuan's army is really allowed to occupy the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, then the entire Song Dynasty court will be really ugly.
"Mr. Shen, what do you think the chances of Ning Yuan's army winning are?" Suning then showed a contemptuous smile and asked the old fox Shen in front of him.
"Eh? Sixty percent!" In fact, Mr. Shen wanted to say a 100% winning rate at this time, but in the end he cautiously said a passing number.
"Ah? The winning rate is so high?" Although Mr. Shen had already stated a cautious and conservative figure, the official family and Mr. Han beside him widened their eyes in shock.
"Officials, dear Prime Minister, the main reason is that you have never seen the military power of Ning Yuan's army with your own eyes. When the time comes, you will naturally understand what I mean." Looking at the shocked old emperor and Prime Minister Han, Prime Minister Shen was full of satisfaction.
He shook his head with a wry smile and explained.
"Well, when the British Duke returns to Jiangning Mansion, he will ask King Ning to hold a grand military exercise. Then we will study together the strength of Ningyuan Army and the dispatch of troops to Khitan." Then the old emperor made a final decision.
After coming down, he took the opportunity to make a request to Suning in front of him.
"Yes! Official family."
At this time, the officials and the princes could not sit still, and they unanimously decided to immediately summon the British prince who was in charge of military affairs in the frontier, because such military and national affairs must be discussed with the person in charge who is most familiar with the situation. They Zhao Song
Everyone in the imperial court was too obsessed with Yanyun Sixteen Provinces, and they couldn't wait to hear Suning's "promising words".
…
As the concubine of Prince Ning, Princess Huirou naturally became the first choice to entertain the noble ladies. She never stopped smiling when she looked at the empress sitting next to her, and the family of this group of dignitaries from Bianjing
In front of Princess Huirou and Empress Cao, all of the female family members are extremely well-behaved, but there are still those bullshit and arrogant people in their own backyard.
"Princess, do you also play polo in Jiangning Mansion?" The eldest lady of the Liang family, Earl of Yongchang, looked at Princess Huirou and asked with a flattering smile. Her temperament still likes to play polo on the court while galloping, so Bianjing City
She took the lead in establishing the polo club.
"Haha, Madam of the Liang family, when I was in the palace, I heard that Madam of Yongchang Earl's Mansion, you love playing polo. It's just a pity that our prince doesn't like this. But in our Jiangning Mansion, there are football and
Jockey Club." Princess Huirou glanced at Queen Cao with a bright smile, and then looked at the eldest lady of the Liang family in front of her and explained.
"Oh? Princess, this horse racing meeting is easy to understand. It's about who can run faster on horseback. But what is this football?" At this time, everyone present showed surprised expressions, and the eldest lady of the Liang family was full of doubts.
He looked at Princess Huirou and asked.
"Haha, Madam of the Liang family, football is also Cuju, but football uses a special leather ball instead of the takraw ball commonly used in Cuju. At the same time, the playing style is also very different."
"Oh? Princess, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I just really like all kinds of sports competitions. I really want to have the opportunity to experience them." At this time, the eldest lady of the Liang family became interested, and then asked with a smile on her face.
said.
"It's easy! I will send you a pamphlet with instructions later. There will be a football exhibition match in a few days. Then all ladies, please go and take a look."
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess."
The situation here in Jiangning Mansion is very shocking to people coming from Bianjing, not only because of the grandeur and tranquility of Prince Ning's Mansion, but also because of the various habits here that are completely different from the Song Dynasty tradition.
It refreshed the three views and vision of these old haters from Bianjing City. At the same time, they also truly felt the power of Prince Ning's Palace and Ningyuan Army in the south of the Yangtze River, and realized that Prince Ning's Palace had rapidly grown into an indispensable place for the Song Dynasty.
Lack of power.
"Madam, have you heard?" One of the well-informed members of the noble family came to the British lady's side and said secretly.
"What?" The British princess looked at the woman in astonishment. Her question was really too nonsensical.
"I heard that Prime Minister Shen had already moved the Shen family from southern Shanxi to Jiangning Mansion, and King Ning also specially gave the Shen family a big house." Seeing the success aroused the interest of the British father-in-law, and then the woman
The person just explained in a low voice.
"What? Wife of the Wei family, is this impossible?" Sure enough, the British princess immediately showed an expression of disbelief, feeling that the news was too shocking.
"It's absolutely true! It is said that the eldest granddaughter of the Shen family is waiting to be married in her boudoir." The woman then said with a meaningful face.
"oh?"
We must know that the status of Grand Prime Minister Shen in the court is unmatched by ordinary people. We also know the significance of the Shen family's actions. This means that the Shen family has decided to formally join Prince Ning's palace, and the daughter of the Shen family's granddaughter is
The one to be married could only be Prince Ning. I originally thought that Suning was just a lucky opportunistic rebel, but now he showed off his soft power openly and openly in front of everyone.
At this time, the nobles all looked at the rising King Ning with different thoughts. They also knew that King Ning's prosperity was an unstoppable general trend, and then they all put down all kinds of defenses against Prince Ning's Mansion and Ning Yuan's army, and then extremely
He tried his best to flatter Prince Ning and Princess Huirou, wishing he could plunder all the girls from each family and send them to Prince Ning's Mansion.
At this time, Princess Pingning showed an intriguing look. The nobles here also said that their family was related to Suning. Naturally, they also wanted to use this relationship to get closer to Suning. However, thinking about Suning's relationship with Suning,
Due to the rejection and disgust of the Gu family of the former Marquis of Ningyuan, as well as the impact of the last rebellion on their Xiangyang Marquis Mansion and the Duke of Qi Mansion, Princess Pingning did not flatter Suning and Princess Huirou like others.
…
One day, the wind was beautiful and cloudless in Jiangning Mansion, and the princess personally organized a new Cuju exhibition match. Two Cuju teams, both composed of AI robots, entered the court in high spirits, and their programs had all been changed to
In order to consider the acceptance ability of the natives of the Song Dynasty, these AI robots did not have the black and white faces of later generations of international stars.
"Prince Ning, is this your new style of Cuju in Jiangning Mansion?" The old emperor looked at the two teams of players on the field in surprise, and then asked Suning on the side in confusion.
"Exactly! The official family, this is all handled by Princess Huirou herself." Suning has very high expectations for Princess Huirou. After all, coming from later generations, there is no concept of male superiority and female inferiority. Government affairs in Jiangnan will try to let Princess Huirou contact her.
"Well, Huirou is pregnant now, so it's better to work less." At this time, Queen Cao on the other side said that she really felt sorry for Princess Huirou.
"What the eldest lady said is true! I will keep it in mind."
"Prince Ning, when the Ai family was in Bianjing, I heard that you had cut your hair and changed your clothes. Why do you have long and thick hair now?" Then Queen Cao looked at the son-in-law in front of her with confusion and asked.
.
"Back to the eldest lady, in order to welcome the official family and the eldest lady, I specially wore a wig."
"Oh? Prince Ning is interested." At this time, the old emperor and the eldest lady looked at each other in surprise, feeling that Prince Ning was not as arrogant and domineering as they imagined.
"Prince Ning, the British Duke will return to Jiangning Mansion soon. At that time, please ask Prince Ning to prepare for a military exercise." At this time, the old emperor on the side once again made a request to Suning for a military parade by Ning Yuan's army.
"Yes! Official family."
The charm of football has naturally been proven by time, so these natives of the Song Dynasty soon became obsessed with it. Then, with the performance team's goals and various superb skills, the onlookers on the field were
Immediately there was a roar like a tsunami, and soon such a warm atmosphere infected every spectator in the stadium, and the skills of these AI robots took turns to play and appear, which naturally made the stadium audience go crazy.
.
"Princess, the new Cuju over here is lively, and it can arouse everyone's atmosphere better than polo." At this time, the eldest lady of the Liang family seemed to have discovered a new world, and she looked at Huirou in front of her with excitement and excitement.
The princess sighed with emotion.
"Haha, Madam of the Liang family, please ask the craftsmen to make more footballs later, and you can also take them back to Bianjing to play." At this time, Princess Huirou immediately understood and said the gift of footballs, because Suning also wanted to use these footballs.
A way to expand your influence in Bianjing.
"Thank you princess."
…
Not long after the unprecedented new-style Cuju exhibition match, the British father returned to Jiangning Mansion in a dusty state. Only then did he hear the official's plan to advance Ning Yuan's army. He couldn't help but look at Suning aside with shock and doubt.
The British, who have fought bloody battles with these barbarians for many years, naturally know that they are difficult to deal with. Even with the sharp firearms of the Ning Yuan Army, it is difficult to compete with the Khitan and Xixia. This is also the case for the Song Army, which already has firearms and has personally taught them to use them.
The fundamental reason for daring to attack Khitan and Xixia.
"Officials, dear princes, the most taboo thing for military strategists is to be arrogant. It is difficult to really decide the war because of the sharpness of firearms. Moreover, our Song Army simply does not have the strength to launch a major war." Then the British prince's blood boiled with enthusiasm.
The old emperor and the great ministers poured cold water on him.
"Mr. British, are you serious about what you said?" The old emperor and the two great ministers looked at each other, feeling somewhat unwilling to accept Mr. British's conclusion.
"Officials, although veterans are unwilling to admit it, the wars in the past few years have indeed caused us a lot of losses. Soldiers in the army have fled very early. They would rather use extraordinary means to disfigure themselves than to cover their faces.
He went into exile all over the world because of his tattoos, which is also the reason why rebellions of all sizes have emerged one after another in recent years." At this time, the British Duke explained with a helpless smile on his face.
"Officials, ladies and gentlemen, since the Song Army has no attack plan, our Ningyuan Army will have to prepare itself. When the time comes, please don't be jealous if you can keep your promise." Suning naturally knows that the British Lord
The explanations are all excuses. They are nothing more than that they are not optimistic about Ning Yuan's army's actions, or they have never sincerely accepted Ning Yuan's army.
"This..." Sure enough, the old emperor and the two great ministers looked at each other again. To be honest, they were still a little unwilling.
"Hmph! Gu Tingye, you are just a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. Your Gu family's ancestors also fought against the Khitan and other barbarians. It's better to go back and ask your elders first." At this time, the British male beside him had a full face.
Looking at Suning in front of him with disdain, he mocked. As the top nobleman of the Song Dynasty, he really looked down on Suning, who started his career as a rebel.
"Sir, my real name is Suning, and now I am named Zhao Ning by the government. I have nothing to do with the Gu family."
"snort!"
"Prince Ning, when is the Ningyuan Army military exercise going to be held?" The old emperor also saw that the British prince really looked down on Suning, and he quickly looked at Suning with a smile to smooth things over and asked.
"Forget it! Since your Song army is unwilling to attack the barbarians, any military exercises and military parades have no meaning, and the Ningyuan Army still needs to step up preparations for war." Suning, who was feeling very unhappy at this time, refused directly.
Regarding the military parade, Adou, who cannot be supported, will not be able to become the king who dominates the world.
"this…………"
Seeing that Suning was no longer willing to show off the strength of Ningyuan's army at will, the officials and several senior ministers were still very disappointed. At the same time, they also felt regretful that they could not participate in this huge feast of attacking Khitan. It is a pity that Song Renzong was not the fool he became later.
Song Huizong was very cautious and hesitant about sending troops to Liao Dynasty, and he also respected and recognized the British Duke's opinions.
Thinking back to the original time and space, Song Huizong was surprised to join forces with the Jin Kingdom to attack the terminally ill Khitan. However, he forgot that the emerging Jin Dynasty was the one that was in full swing. The final outcome naturally became very tragic and humiliating. The Song Dynasty at that time should have been
The only way to survive is to unite Daliao and Xixia to fight against the emerging Daijin, because even the weak and the strong are the only way to survive.
"Mr. British, do our Song Army really not have the strength to unite with the Ningyuan Army to attack Khitan?" In the end, the old emperor was unwilling to secretly summon Mr. British again.
"Hey! Officials, our Song Army really doesn't have this strength. I think the senior ministers know it best." The British Duke shook his head again and explained with a wry smile.
"What a pity! Grand Prime Minister Shen said that Ning Yuan's army has a 60% chance of winning."
"Officials, dear Prime Minister, then we cannot unite with the Ningyuan Army, because we need to preserve our strength to defend against the Ningyuan Army in the future." At this time, the British Duke finally expressed his truest thoughts.
"What the officials and the British public said is very reasonable. Although the Khitan and Xixia are both very strong, we have to admit that they have formed a balance with the Song Dynasty. The three parties are currently reluctant to have a big war.
, and it was the appearance of Ning Yuan's army that broke this balance, so Ning Yuan's army is what we in the Song Dynasty need to guard against most." Immediately afterwards, Shen Da Xianggong and Han Da Xianggong also reacted, realizing that the British Duke was worried about Ning Yuan's army.
Preparation is the most important thing.
"In this case, we will strongly support Ningyuan's army to go north to attack and punish Khitan. We, the Song Dynasty court, will continue to sit on the sidelines and make a decision based on the specific situation."
"The official sage."
"Which Grand Prime Minister is willing to send envoys to Khitan and Xixia to explain to them that all actions of the Ningyuan Army have nothing to do with our Song Dynasty?"
"No! Officials, the specific situation of Ning Yuan's army is well known to everyone. There is no need for our Song Dynasty to elaborate on it. In addition, our Song army naturally needs to step up preparations for war. No matter which side wins in the end, it will be our Song Dynasty.
This is the best opportunity for the imperial court, and we in the Song Dynasty only need to secretly leak the plan of the Ningyuan Army. Presumably the Khitan nobles will mobilize their troops to defend the Bohai Bay." At this time, the British Duke quickly stopped the old emperor.
actions, and also very insidiously revealed a conspiracy that made the snipe and the clam fight.
"What do you think, Grand Prime Minister?" the old emperor looked at the two Grand Prime Ministers in front of him and asked.
