Chapter 1390: The so-called method, Ye Yong’s criticism
It is also because of this that the position of the Privy Councilor is considered fictitious for the time being! However, the reaction from the court was not great.
First of all, Shi Hao's side is actively consulting on the candidates for the Privy Council. Once they defeat Jin this time, they will have enough reasons and confidence to fight for Zhao Shen.
The same is true for Ye Yong's side, but their main goal is to snipe the candidates for Shi Hao's side! After all, it was his recommendation when Yu Yunwen came to Beijing. Now that Yu Yunwen is about to be deposed due to the battle of Fengxiang Mansion, they also want to continue to recommend him. , but the difficulty is obviously relatively high.
As for the Privy Council, at least the deputy envoy Diao Hongxin had no objection!
While Yu Yunwen was away, he, as the deputy envoy, could act with the authority of an envoy. Why bother to find an immediate superior to come back?
As soon as Diao Hongxin opened his mouth, Zhao Shen looked shocked! During this period of time, he had a very good understanding of the terrain around Fengxiang Mansion and Xiangyang City, and he knew the importance of Kemen Pass and Lumen Mountain very well.
As mentioned in the previous article, the reason why Xiangyang City was able to become the main gateway to resist the Jin soldiers in Jingnan was firstly because Xiangyang City was high and deep, and secondly because Xiangyang City and the surrounding areas formed a huge defense network.
However, as Suizhou was captured by the Jin soldiers, there was a huge gap in this defense network, and the loss of Kemen Pass and Lumen Mountain meant that Xiangyang would become an isolated city before long.
At that time, these Jin soldiers do not need to do anything else, they only need to trap Xiangyang to death, and the fall of Xiangyang will be a matter of time.
After a while, Zhao Shen finally came back to his senses and said, "These... three beloved ladies, what are your opinions?"
The three of them were silent for a moment, and Diao Hongxin spoke again, "Your Majesty, I and others also discussed briefly. First, immediately send an order to the troops in Xiangyang City to defend Xiangyang and not let Xiangyang City fall! Second, to reward the troops heavily. Improve morale! Third, immediately send other available troops to increase the number of troops!"
What can I say? Listening to your words is better than reading them. It’s all nonsense!
The garrison was ordered to defend Xiangyang. This order was issued at least seven or eight times out of ten times. As for the heavy reward, now even military pay and food cannot be guaranteed. Where can the heavy reward come from?
Including the third item, up to now, all the troops and horses that can still go to Xiangyang have been sent there long ago, and there are no more suitable troops and horses at all.
It was impossible to send the Imperial Guards from Lin'an. Zhao Shen somewhat understood that among the Imperial Guards who ate the imperial food, there were indeed powerful ones, but this did not mean that all the Imperial Guards could be used.
In fact, it can be said that at least 90% of the Forbidden Army are useless.
Moreover, the Bailian Society in Kunshan is currently in a fierce commotion. How can the soldiers and horses in Jiangnan and Huainan dare to move lightly?
Zhao Shen rubbed his brows feebly. He didn't blame Diao Hongxin in his heart. Even he had no good solution to the current situation.
"Shi Qing, Ye Qing, what do you two have to say?"
After a moment of silence, Ye Yong took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that we should immediately send an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin and have peace talks with the Kingdom of Jin! If we can make them withdraw their troops by paying some price, it will be all worth it."
Sure enough, it is still the case, but now for Jin Bing, Xiangyang City is almost within easy reach. Which wolf have you seen who can give up the fat in front of him?
At this moment, Shi Hao said, "Your Majesty, I think there is no need to be anxious!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Shen's eyes lit up. Finally, someone said something different, "What do you mean, Ai Qing?"
"Your Majesty, Shen Tang is now the commander-in-chief of the war against Jin. It's just because the war in Fengxiang Mansion is fierce, so Shen Tang needs to be in charge personally! However, with my knowledge of Shen Tang, Shen Tang will naturally do his best to deal with the war situation in Xiangyang City. Take control and arrange corresponding measures! Furthermore, the battle reports that have been sent continuously during this period have shown that although the situation in Fengxiang Mansion is fierce, under Shen Tang’s plan, our Song Dynasty’s soldiers and horses have the advantage. !”
"Perhaps it won't be long before Shen Tang can completely calm down the war situation in Fengxiang Mansion and return to Xiangyang!"
"As soon as I received the report of the battle in Xiangyang City, I sent a letter to Fengxiang Mansion and asked Shen Tang to provide a solution to the situation in Xiangyang!"
"Nowadays, although the situation in Xiangyang City is critical, the city is high and the pond is deep, and there is still some food and grass for the time being! In this way, it is not a problem to hold on for at least a month or two.
Therefore, we have enough time to plan and resolve this matter."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He had Shen Tang in his hand, why should he be afraid of these golden soldiers?
It's just that Shen Tang can't free his hands to go forward for the time being, but it's just a matter of time.
"Well, what Shi Aiqing said makes sense! Let's wait for Shen Tang's reply before we make a deal!"
"His Majesty!"
At this moment, Ye Yong spoke again!
"What else does Ye Qing do?"
But I saw Ye Yong bowing slightly, and then said calmly, "Your Majesty, from the Xiangyang City battle report, I learned that the name of the commander of the Jin army is Wanyan Hao!"
"I am worried about the war, so I deliberately found out who Wanyan Hao is!"
"He is also a relative of the Jin Emperor, and has a very close relationship with the Jin Emperor Wanyan Yong. He is now the general manager of the Daming Mansion's military and horse capital, and has great power!"
Zhao Shen frowned. Almost everyone knew these things. What did Ye Yong want to say?
"In addition, Wan Yanyong's daughter is named Wan Yan Yue, and she is the Princess of Yongqing in the Kingdom of Jin! If I remember correctly, this so-called Princess of Yongqing should be Shen Tang's wife! Let's calculate it this way , the relationship between Shen Tang and Wanyan Hao is really close!"
"As the commander-in-chief, Shen Tang's ability is certainly true, but it has also caused great worries in the battle situation! Therefore, I believe that the battle situation in Xiangyang should not be controlled by Shen Tang!"
Ye Yong's meaning was very obvious. The enemy coach and Shen Tang were in a relationship as son-in-law. If Shen Tang had other ideas and just lured the wolf into the house, then Xiangyang would probably be given away directly.
"Xiang Ye's words are wrong!"
Before Zhao Shen could speak, Shi Hao on the side sneered, "The relationship between Shen Tang and Wanyan Hao is indeed true, but it is also true that Shen Tang's boxing is the heart of the court! In addition, Shen Tang is the personal master of the Lord of Heaven and Earth. First he is your Majesty's minister, and then he is Wanyan Hao's son-in-law, so how can you say that you are worried?"
"Furthermore, when Shen Tang and Wan Yan Yue got married, it was because of His Majesty's will. Is it possible that Ye Xiang thought that Your Majesty made a mistake in his decision?"
"Shen Tang first had a desire to serve the country, then he had feelings that he couldn't help himself, and finally he had a relationship with Wanyan Hao. Why does Mr. Ye doubt Shen Tang's loyalty?"
