"So it's better for you to go and take a look first, otherwise, the officials might summon you when the time comes."
When Wu Zhi heard this, he couldn't continue to refuse.
But this time, the content discussed in the court was no longer a matter of alliance with which country.
This is what Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, told Wu Zhi after he entered the Jinluan Palace.
This news is quite happy for Wu Zhi.
Because in Wu Zhi's view, no matter whether the Song Dynasty unites with the Liao Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, it is undoubtedly not the best choice.
But at this time, the Song Dynasty's national power was still frighteningly weak.
Facing those two powerful opponents, it's really hard to offend either of them.
That's why we discussed it for dozens of days, but failed to solve this problem.
But when he heard that the problem finally no longer needed to be discussed, Wu Zhi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could relax for long, another big problem came out of Zhao Ji's mouth.
That is, at this time, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom were all eyeing the serial crossbows that Wu Zhi used when fighting the cavalry of the two countries.
This couldn't help but give Wu Zhi a very strange feeling in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to have figured out something.
But suddenly, he couldn't remember where that feeling came from.
So, I had no choice but to not think about that for now, and planned to listen to Zhao Ji quietly and then analyze the matter carefully.
At this time, Zhao Ji had a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Princess Ancheng and Prince Wanyan Zonghan are both very interested in the Zhuge serial crossbow."
"So, I wanted to take those weapons and equipment and use them for hunting and grazing among the white mountains and black waters."
"But Wu Aiqing currently has more than 3,000 of those weapons."
"Originally, I wanted the envoys from Jin and Liao to be divided into half."
"But what is helpless is that the envoys of the two countries said nothing."
"Just when we were very worried about this matter, we didn't expect Wu Aiqing to come back victorious."
"Oh, by the way, Wu Aiqing, where are the weapons you took away earlier and the soldiers who accompanied you on the expedition?"
After Wu Zhi heard what Zhao Ji said, he immediately felt that his brain was not enough.
After he cleared his mind, he immediately felt that Zhao Ji in front of him had lost his mind.
Although weapons such as serial crossbows currently have a relatively short range, their power is average.
However, if this kind of weapon is manufactured in large quantities, the damage will still be very considerable when fighting against the enemy.
But why did this foolish emperor send envoys from the two countries whenever they wanted them?
Could it be that he reads too much on weekdays and his mind goes crazy?
Although Wu Zhi felt extremely helpless at this time.
But since Zhao Ji had already asked the question, it was hard for him not to answer.
So he had no choice but to bow respectfully to Zhao Ji.
"To report to the official family, I have brought back the more than 3,000 serial crossbows and nearly 70,000 crossbow arrows."
"But those veterans have returned to their hometowns due to old age and other problems."
"As for dividing this batch of crossbow equipment between the two countries, I think..."
When Wu Zhi said this, he paused unconsciously.
Because he didn't know what to say next.
But at this moment, Taiwei Su Yuanjing, who was standing in the queue of civil servants, walked to the center of the hall with an anxious look on his face.
After hurriedly bowing to Zhao Ji, he expressed all the worries in his heart.
"For the record, those serial crossbows were made by officials from our Ministry of Industry with great effort."
"And Master Wu Zhiwu used that batch of equipment to defeat all the cavalry of the Jin and Liao Kingdoms."
"So Wei Chen feels that those batches of crossbow equipment must never be given away to people from other races."
"Even if they claim that they want to hunt and herd in the white mountains and black waters, it's absolutely not possible!"
"A country's military is the foundation of its existence."
"The weapons and equipment are even more important."
"If it is given away to other countries easily, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"We sincerely ask your Majesty to think twice, think twice!"
As soon as Su Yuanjing finished speaking, two brothers, the Taoist Zhongshi who were standing second and third among the military commanders, walked out of the queue of military commanders and saluted Zhao Ji.
"Guan family, what Taiwei Su said is true."
"There is a saying that goes well, people who are not of my race must have different minds!"
When Master Zhong said this, his sharp eyes kept scanning Yelu Nanxian and Wanyan Zonghan.
There was a strong sense of warning in his eyes.
"Although the envoys of the two countries said very well, who can guarantee that their two tribes will not be disadvantageous to our country after acquiring this batch of weapons and equipment from the Song Dynasty?"
"Furthermore, the general has fought several battles with the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom a few years ago, so he knows a little about the temperament of this tribe."
"A few days ago, when the envoys of the Jin and Liao kingdoms were in the Jinluan Palace, telling Master Wu the results of the battle that day, Lao Chen was filled with doubts."
"First, in that battle, it was obvious that the Liao and Jin cavalry were severely defeated, and even thousands of people were lost."
"And when the envoys of the two countries mentioned this matter in the Jinluan Palace, they did not shy away from their disastrous defeat. This matter itself is very suspicious."
"And the two of them, after this great defeat, actually had no desire for revenge."
"This is also very inconsistent with their original temperament."
"Thirdly, after the two countries witnessed the power of that serial crossbow, they immediately sent messengers to the capital to tell the envoys of the two countries about the news."
"The intention is nothing more than to ask for that batch of equipment from our Great Song Dynasty, and what is the purpose behind it?"
When Master Zhong said this, he sneered several times unconsciously.
When he looked at the envoys from the two countries, his eyes became sharper.
"You actually dare to go to the court and say that you took that batch of equipment back for hunting and herding?"
"Could it be that the two of you really think that we are the Song Dynasty and cannot recognize the conspiracy?"
Although this old general is in his sixties, the fierce aura exuding from his body is still the same as before.
And Yelu Zonglei, who was standing next to Yelu Nanxian, also had a bad temper.
When he heard Zhong Shidao's aggressive words, he immediately clenched his fists.
It looked like he would go to the knife if he disagreed.
