Chapter 1685: Discussing at the court, everyone's opinions
Chapter 1685: Discussion at the court meeting, everyone’s opinions
At the court meeting the next day, some trivial matters were discussed first, and then everyone's attention was once again focused on the current war.
After all, the situation this time is so serious that even if it is not life and death, it is still full of dangers.
First, he informed everyone about the battle situation in various places, and then Wan Yanyong asked, "Now the two sides are in a stalemate, and we are still at a disadvantage if we partially occupy it. I wonder what you can do to break the deadlock?"
After a moment of silence, all the civil and military officials started talking!
Some said that they would actively seek peace, some said that they would fight to the death, some said that the alliance would send out missions to lobby other countries, and some even said that it would destroy the trust of all the forces in the future.
There are at least a dozen methods mentioned by Lin Zongzong, but they sound reasonable at first glance, but after careful consideration, they realize that they cannot be implemented at all.
Moreover, if these methods were effective, they would not be discussed again and again in court meetings.
These methods have been mentioned before, but they have long been rejected.
It is the same even now, the people who mentioned it are still enthusiastic, and the people who oppose it are still merciless.
The civil and military talk of the Manchu Dynasty was extremely lively, but it can be summed up in just four words: useless.
Pu Sanzhuo glanced at a close aide, and then saw the doctor from the Ministry of Rites coming out to announce, "Your Majesty, I believe that the power we have now is not enough to break the deadlock! If we want to break the situation, we must use conventional methods.
Only external force can be used.”
Although Wanyanyong asked Pu Sanzhuo to do the talking, Pu Sanzhuo naturally would not directly stand up and charge.
Let your cronies attract a wave of firepower first, and then step forward at critical moments. Not only will your chances of success be higher, but others will also be less hostile to you.
Even if everyone knew that the doctor from the Ministry of Etiquette was his, and that he was secretly instigating it, Zheng Zheng said that some things can be known to everyone, but they cannot be completely grasped by others.
At least with this layer of protection, his own safety would be somewhat guaranteed.
"oh?"
After hearing that someone finally said something different, Wan Yanyong asked, "What do you mean by the rest of the power?"
The doctor said, "Your Majesty, when Tubo invaded the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty barely competed with Tubo but did not have the absolute power to break the situation. Therefore, the Song Dynasty borrowed tens of thousands of troops from your majesty, and then defeated the Tibetans! If the Song Dynasty could do this, why
Can't we?"
"Hahaha, it's just wishful thinking. Who doesn't know that the people of Song Dynasty are also watching us now, but they haven't taken action against us yet because the time is not right! However, don't forget, the Song Dynasty has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that actually control Lintao Road.
, will the Song people lend us troops at this time?"
"Why is it wishful thinking?"
Pusanzhuo smiled.
"Isn't it that the Song Dynasty occupied our Lintao Road?"
Pu Sanzhuo ignored the official and said to Wan Yanyong, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. In reality, from the moment General Tu Dankening withdrew from Lintao Mansion, Xia and Liao troops occupied Lintao Mansion.
, In fact, Lintao Mansion is no longer under our control, it is already under the control of Xia Liao's troops."
"Now, although Lintao Mansion has fallen into the hands of the Song people again, the Song people obtained it from Xia Liao, not from General Tudan Kening."
"In fact, precisely because of this, I have completely different opinions from Master Guan. I think it is true that the Song people covet our Jin Kingdom, but it is also true that they do not want to go to war with us."
"As we all know, the Song Dynasty had Shen Tang as commander-in-chief and Zhang Jun as deputy commander-in-chief, and had tens of thousands of soldiers.
However, these two men, Chen Bing, did not take the initiative to attack the border for several months! Many soldiers and horses of the Song people were indeed weak, but if you still have memories, you should know that these two men were commanded by the Chengdu Prefecture and the Lizhou Prefecture. The troops and horses of this department are considered to be the strongest combat power of the Song Dynasty."
"In the battle of Fengxiang Mansion two years ago, Shen Tang only mobilized some of his direct troops, mainly Lizhou soldiers, to fight against General Shan Kening's West Route Army! In the end, the West Route Army was defeated, but The Song people retreated to Dashan Pass."
"Do you think that if Shen Tang is also leading the army and has more troops and more elite troops, if he takes the initiative to attack, General Shan Dan Kening can win?"
"Even if you can win, don't forget that there are Xia Liao soldiers watching with eager eyes!"
"Although I don't want to belittle myself, I believe that the Western Route Army with Shan Shan Kening is no match for the Song people and the Xia Liao soldiers and horses!"
"If the Song Dynasty goes to war with us, the West Route Army will only be defeated more miserably and faster! Even now, Zhang Jun and tens of thousands of Lizhou soldiers and Chen soldiers have dispersed, while the West Route Army has joined forces with Longshan and Xia Liao soldiers. If Zhang Jun goes north and attacks our Jin soldiers and horses from behind, the imperial court will probably receive news of the defeat of the West Route Army within a few days."
"The people of Song Dynasty are just taking advantage of others and let us fight Xia Liao desperately!"
Someone yelled angrily.
Pu Sanzhuo smiled and said, "Song people have a good saying, in all matters one should judge the deeds without regard to the heart! No matter what the people of Song Dynasty think, the current situation is that the people of Song Dynasty have not directly started a war with us. Here During the battle, the Song people did not harm any of our soldiers."
The doctor hurriedly said, "Just as Lord Shangshu said, no matter what the people of Song Dynasty think, at least there is room for relaxation!"
"As long as we join forces with the Song people, firstly, we can use some of the Song soldiers and horses, and secondly, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the hands of Wan Yanhao in the southern Daming Prefecture can be mobilized to the battlefield. The current crisis can be easily resolved."
"We can even take back even the lost Lintao Road and half of Fengxiang Road."
"It seems that Lord Pusanzhuo and Jia Langzhong accepted bribes from the Song Dynasty?
Otherwise, how could you keep speaking for the people of Song Dynasty?"
Someone sneered and said.
"Pu Sanzhuo has been following His Majesty for more than ten years, and he is also His Majesty's secret servant. Needless to say, he is loyal.
Moreover, everything is just a matter of fact, and the people of Song Dynasty are indeed the most likely force to join forces with us. Therefore, although the words are slightly biased, they still make sense."
As soon as Tang Gutai opened his mouth, the scolding voices in the court suddenly decreased a lot!
"Mr. Jia, although what you said makes sense, under the current situation, it is not easy for the Song people to completely join forces with us. I wonder if you have any foolproof plan?"
Seeing Tang Gutai take the initiative to hand over the steps, Pusanzhuo felt a lot more relaxed.
It would be difficult for him to act as a one-man show, but with this veteran of three dynasties speaking out, the resistance will naturally be reduced a lot.
Immediately, he winked at the doctor again and heard the doctor say, "Sir, the way to lower the official position is simple, to exchange land for land, to achieve a win-win situation!"
"Excuse me for being stupid, but I don't know what to make of this statement?"
