"Hiss!" Zi Pingxiu took a breath, pinched the beard under his chin, and his eyes flashed sharply, as if he was awakened by the other party's words.
Jia Wuqun added, "I even suspect that Meng Shanming killed 600,000 prisoners just to provoke the Song army to attack Yanjing and take revenge. Behind this, there may be the ambition of the Shang Chaozong to use the help of the Song Dynasty to eliminate dissidents! "
Zi Pingxiu nodded slightly, then shook his head and said: "The war has been fought like this, and the Song Dynasty has suffered a huge loss. If we return empty-handed like this, Your Majesty will be embarrassed and unable to explain to his subjects. It will be very embarrassing!"
Jia Wuqun: "It is very embarrassing, and the embarrassment is only a temporary embarrassment. It is better than the long-term embarrassment of the Song Dynasty. The key is to see who can have the last laugh! If Shang Jianxiong's power team is really destroyed, Shang Chaozong will have control at this time. In order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible, the three major factions can only support the Shang Chaozong to ascend to power!"
"Once the forces of Shang Jianxiong's faction can no longer unite, facing the current situation, and there are three major factions to put pressure, they can only turn to Shang Chaozong, and Shang Chaozong can take the opportunity to control the power of Yan State in one fell swoop! But if Shang Jianxiong's ruling team Still, the officials in most areas of the Yan State are still members of Shang Jianxiong's team, so it will be difficult for the three major factions to force Shang Jianxiong and his group to hand over power. If they are forced to jump over the wall in a hurry, the three major factions will be unable to clean up the mess."
"Another point is that a considerable part of the troops led by Meng Shanming are still Yan Ting troops who were coerced by him. As long as Shang Jianxiong is still in power, the troops led by Meng Shanming will inevitably be divided. If the Yan Kingdom encounters this again Damn it, Shang Jianxiong has suffered a loss once, will he give the Shang Chaozong another chance to command the troops of the Yan Kingdom?"
"Allowing Shang Jianxiong to continue to be in power is dividing the Yan State and weakening the strength of the Yan State. It will be difficult for the Yan State to recover from its weakness and no longer threaten the Song Dynasty! It will be different if Shang Chaozong is in power. The people of the Yan court have taken refuge, and the princes within the Yan country have listened to their orders. The Yan country, which has gathered people's hearts and minds, has quickly regained its strength. In addition, it is good at conquering and fighting. With such a powerful neighbor, I, the Song Dynasty, may even tremble in sleep!"
"Luo Zhao is a military general. He is more or less young and energetic. He only sees war as the top priority and will not focus on national affairs. Luo Zhao is suitable for war, but not for national affairs. Does your Majesty have to do the same? The situation has reached this point. At this point, even if Luo Zhao breaks through Yanjing and takes revenge, he still can't destroy the Yan State. Instead of making long-term plans for the future, he is going to take advantage of the Shang Chaozong to give the Yan State a chance to revive. How can the two countries fight out of emotion? "
"The current Song State cannot be dragged down by the Yan State. It must stabilize its position as soon as possible. As long as it stabilizes itself, as long as the Song State is not in chaos and still retains its strength, once South Korea attacks the Yan State, our Song State can still Send troops again to get a share of the pie. As long as Shang Jianxiong and others are left to prevent the severely injured Yan State from recovering, the internal chaos of the Yan State will only become more and more chaotic. Even if South Korea does not send troops this time, the Yan State will still be It’s the meat on Song Guo’s lips, you can devour it at any time!”
"Prime Minister, your Majesty is not someone who cannot listen to advice. As long as the fog of hatred in front of your Majesty's eyes is cleared, your Majesty will adopt the Prime Minister's good advice! Maybe your Majesty has woken up, but he needs someone to help him come down the road. The status of the Prime Minister is The most suitable candidate!”
Zi Pingxiu nodded thoughtfully and said: "Sir, this is a kind words from the bottom of my heart, okay! Just follow what you said. It's just..." He leaned towards Jia Wuqun, "Some of Shaotong's words are quite reasonable. Shaotong said that we should withdraw our troops." , Meng Shanming will definitely stop the attack and will not allow the main force of our Song State to successfully withdraw into the territory and then threaten the Yan State. If the main force of our Song State cannot withdraw smoothly, I am afraid it will still be difficult to solve the dilemma!"
Jia Wuqun swiped his sleeves and said, "General Chen will come out to fight and defeat Meng Shanming!"
Come again? These words made Zi Pingxiu's tooth hurt. He patted the coffee table gently and said, "Sir, aren't you kidding me? How could the hundreds of thousands of local troops that the imperial court hastily assembled could stop Yan's two hundred troops?
There are more than 10,000 main troops, not to mention that the enemy's coach is still Meng Shanming, who is vulnerable! To be honest, sir, I asked Shaotong privately, and Shaotong himself told the truth. To fight in this situation is to risk death. He himself
They all admit that they are no match for Meng Shanming, and they are already timid before fighting! The reason why he went bravely is because I forced him to have no choice!"
Jia Wuqun smiled, "This is your Majesty's brilliance. The only one who can turn the tide at this time is the Prime Minister!"
"Me?" Zi Pingxiu spread his hands and said, "Sir, please don't tell me a joke. If you say that I have turned the tables on you, I will admit it. The two countries are fighting like this. The enemy will not be polite. They are here to force you.
We rely on hard power to fight and won’t play around with us. I can’t create elite soldiers and generals, nor can I create thousands of troops to turn the tide!”
Jia Wuqun: "The Prime Minister is a veteran of the two dynasties of the Song Dynasty. For a long time, one person is less than ten thousand people. You must not underestimate his influence in the Song Dynasty. Who dares not to give the Prime Minister some face? As long as he uses it properly, he will win.
With thousands of troops and horses, even the Prime Minister’s son-in-law went into battle, which forced the Prime Minister into a desperate situation. At this time, the Prime Minister’s green face and fangs showed no scruples. He was very scary, like a tiger that can only eat people!”
"Green face and fangs?" Zi Pingxiu couldn't laugh or cry.
Jia Wuqun stopped joking with him and said, "Prime Minister, Yanjing may be captured in a matter of seconds. This matter should be done quickly rather than slowly. Please enter the palace as soon as possible so that His Majesty can order the withdrawal of troops!"
Zi Pingxiu: "This matter is not difficult. The difficulty lies in Shaotong's expedition. You have to let me have some confidence in my mind, right?"
Jia Wuqun dipped his fingers in tea and quickly wrote three words: "The Gate of Ten Thousand Beasts!"
"Wan Beast Sect?" Zi Pingxiu frowned.
Jia Wuqun: "All birds and beasts can be used as soldiers in the hands of the Wanshou Sect. Don't underestimate them! As long as the Wanshou Sect comes to help, Meng Shanming will be defeated and General Chen will win!"
Zi Pingxiu hesitated and said: "It's not that I haven't thought about this, but the Wanshou Sect has never dealt with the three major sects, and has never been involved in this kind of thing. It's useless to beg them."
Jia Wuqun waved his hands and said: "I have my own thoughts on this matter. It is not appropriate to waste words now. It will not be too late to discuss it when the Prime Minister comes back. I will explain it to him! What the Prime Minister needs to do now is to enter the palace as soon as possible and let His Majesty stop attacking Yan."
Beijing withdraws its troops and first stabilizes our own position!"
"Okay!" Zi Pingxiu stood up, "I'll go back as soon as possible. Sir, please wait for my news!"
After saying that, he hurried away, left the Prime Minister's Mansion and rushed to the Imperial Palace.
Jia Wuqun, on the other hand, seemed aimless, slowly wandering around the Prime Minister's Mansion, and finally wandered into the garden, tending to the flowers and plants, enjoying his leisure time.
They waited for an hour. An hour later, Zi Pingxiu hurried back and went straight to the garden to find Jia Wuqun.
"Sir, His Majesty has issued an edict, and the edict has been sent to Luo Zhao as soon as possible!" Zi Pingxiu explained when they met.
Jia Wuqun loosened his hand holding the flower branch, looked at the sky and sighed softly, "I hope it's not too late, otherwise it will really help the Shang Chaozong. No matter how weak the Yan Kingdom is, it will be difficult to defeat it. Seeing hope,
Wei and Qi will provide strong support, and Yan will become a serious problem for Song!"
This matter is not the focus of Zi Pingxiu's personal concern now. What he is more concerned about now is that Chen Shaotong will drag him into a pit once he is defeated. The question he asked is still the same as before, "If the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and the three major sects don't deal with it,
What we do is the business of the people of the world, and we never get involved in the disputes between countries. Even if we kneel down and beg them, it will be useless. How can you get them to help?"
Jia Wuqun said: "The Prime Minister can send someone to give me a ride. I will personally go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate to be a lobbyist. If everything goes well, I can give the Prime Minister a definite answer tomorrow morning at the latest!"
Zi Pingxiu hesitated and said: "Sir, are you really sure of convincing the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect?"
Jia Wuqun waved his hands and said: "This is not a problem, I am worried about another person!"
"Oh?" Zi Pingxiu was surprised, "A person? Who makes sir so worried?"
Jia Wuqun spit out a person's name, "Niu Youdao!"
"Niu Youdao?" Zi Pingxiu was stunned for a moment and then remembered, "Is it the monk hiding behind Nanzhou?"
Jia Wuqun nodded.
Zi Pingxiu: "This person is somewhat capable, but when the two countries are at war, even the three major factions of the Yan Kingdom can't do anything, so what can he do? After the war started, there seems to be no news about this person, no matter it is
There seems to be no trace of this person around Shang Chaozong or Meng Shanming, and he has almost disappeared. The three major sects of the Yan Kingdom seemed to be looking for him before. Are you worried too much, sir?"
Jia Wuqun said slowly: "Are you worried? As far as I know, he almost single-handedly supported the Shang Chaozong. He kicked open the Tianyu Gate in Nanzhou, and then kicked Shao Pingbo of Beizhou into abandoning Beizhou's many years of hard work.
He fled in embarrassment. I have been paying attention to Shao Pingbo. This person is not simple. He was defeated so miserably by Niu Youdao. It was beyond my expectation. This Niu Youdao could actually do this with the little power in his hands.
It affects all the people in Nanzhou. Even the leader of the country, Shang Jianxiong, can't do anything to this Niu Youdao. Before, Nanzhou intercepted Yan Ting's military rations, and the three major factions of Yan State also lost their temper with him."
"This person has always been looming in the spiritual world, but he often suddenly strikes out at critical moments for the Shang Chaozong. It can be said that he hits the vital point with one blow, and repeatedly catches the opponents of the Shang Chaozong by surprise! After the war started, this person suddenly disappeared.
Well, according to my judgment, the fact that Yan Ting arrested Shang Chaozong before but did not dare to act rashly has something to do with the fact that he hid and could not be found, so has he really disappeared? Will he really ignore Shang Chaozong? The prime minister said
That’s right, he is the person hiding behind Nanzhou! It’s not scary to stand in the light, but I am afraid that he is hiding in the dark like a poisonous snake. No one knows when he will suddenly appear and bite someone!”
"What I'm worried about is that he won't just sit back and watch Meng Shanming be defeated at the hands of the Prime Minister's beloved son-in-law. But his movements are unpredictable. I don't know when and how he will take action. It's impossible to guard against him! Prime Minister, this person is very dangerous.
!”
Zi Pingxiu thought silently, but admitted that what he said made sense, but he couldn't just be worried about such a person and not stop doing something, right?
Worried, Jia Wuqun had nothing to do for the time being, and now was not the time to devote his energy and time to find Niu Youdao.
It was important to deal with the Ten Thousand Beast Gate first. After the two briefly explained, Zi Pingxiu quickly dispatched manned birds and secretly escorted Jia Wuqun to the Ten Thousand Beast Gate.
