Chapter 385 Khitan
In the main hall, Sima Guangda vomited his bitterness and ridiculed Wen Tianxiang and others of the Southern Song Dynasty, and then said: "Your Majesty, I really have no choice, so I came to see the King, and I also asked the King to look at the Yanhuang bloodline at the same time. For my sake, send troops to defeat the Khitan cavalry."

"Your Majesty, the Khitan nomadic cavalry are actually descendants of the Yanhuang lineage, and they can't be considered other ethnic groups!" Li Dongyang said hesitantly.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Khitan inheritance dates back to ancient times. It was a fairy from the Heavenly Palace who came down to earth and met a god in the Western Wasteland. After the two met, they gave birth to eight sons. This is how we are today. Khitan." Wu Meiniang also said: "There are rumors that the fairy is from Jingyan Palace. But I don't know if it is true."

"They are just legends, but as we all know, the Khitan is one of the branches of Quanrong, and it once resisted the Great Zhou Dynasty." How could Sima Guang let everyone continue to discuss the origin of the Khitan.

Even if it really comes from Jingyan Palace, so what? You know that there is nothing in front of the king's front that cannot be attacked. Anyone who blocks your front is your enemy and the target of your attack.

"What happened in the Southern Song Dynasty recently? Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others are all smart people. Logically speaking, this kind of collusion with the Khitan to deal with the Northern Song Dynasty should not be done by the two of them. After all, doing so can only make people The world laughs at the Southern Song Dynasty." Zhu Shou was a little strange. In such a thing, the Southern Song Dynasty would naturally get an advantage in a short period of time, but from a long-term perspective, after the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed, the Southern Song Dynasty would face a greater crisis.

You can't even deal with the Northern Song Dynasty, how can you deal with the Khitan who is even more powerful than the Northern Song Dynasty!Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others are smart people, and logically they would not make such childish mistakes.

"Back to the king, there is no big news in the Southern Song Dynasty. The political affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty are basically controlled by Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and others, and there are no other changes in the king of the Southern Song Dynasty." Wu Meiniang thought for a while, and finally shook her head.

"That's interesting, Mr. Sima, tell me, is it possible that this Khitan man joined the war on his own initiative and was not invited by the Southern Song Dynasty!" Zhu Shou thought for a while, and suddenly there was another possibility.

"Impossible." After hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Sima Guang suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Khitans are cruel, reckless and unwise, just like wild beasts. How could they make such a decision?"

"Yes! Your Majesty, it is really terrifying to say this. Those Khitan people are very resourceful, and that may not be a good thing for the world." Wu Meiniang was also surprised and couldn't help but said: "Wang Come on, isn’t it too amazing?”

"You! What is impossible to happen in this world? I think everything can happen in this world. Why don't the Khitans have no wisdom? I don't think so!" Zhu Shou shook his head and said, "Since you Everyone thinks that Wen Tianxiang could not be so unwise, and there were no changes within the Southern Song Dynasty. The only change was the Khitan people themselves. Can't we explain it this way?"

"How can the Khitan people be so resourceful if they are ignorant of civilization?" Even Wu Meiniang felt a little hesitant.

"The less resourceful you are, the more you respect ghosts and gods. If someone uses ghosts and gods to lure you, these people must be listening to the so-called ghosts and gods' orders." Zhu Shou said lightly: "If I act on the ghosts and gods' orders, those Khitan people will Not going south? Humph, it seems like someone has been operating in Khitan for many years, otherwise, this kind of order from ghosts and gods cannot be so unhindered."

Zhu Shou no longer knows what to say. People like Sima Guang are really powerful. They know that the Khitan people are very destructive. Do they know how to monitor them? Now that something has happened, I still don’t know how it happened. In the Khitan What happened inside the territory? Is someone secretly causing trouble?

"After hearing what the king said, I think this situation is very likely to happen. Sir Sima, if it is really the Khitans who take the initiative to go south, then things will be different." Li Dongyang said seriously.

There was a trace of thought on Sima Guang's face. He came to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops. The target of the troops was naturally the Southern Song Dynasty. But if the Khitans took the initiative to attack, the outcome of the matter would be very different. Even if the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, it would not change it. After understanding the Khitan's decision, only by eliminating the Khitan itself can the safety of the Northern Song Dynasty be preserved.

"Send someone to Khitan to have a look." Zhu Shou thought for a while and said: "Mr. Sima, I think this matter is just a misunderstanding. The Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty were originally one family. The fight between your two families is generally not what others think. I will get involved in it, Gu believes that the Southern Song Dynasty should also be the same."

"The foreign minister understands." Sima Guang thought for a moment and thought that Zhu Shou's guess was somewhat reasonable, but no matter what, the Khitan's march south was certain, which meant that the soldiers and horses of the Northern Song Dynasty might not be able to withstand the Khitan's attack. , which requires Daming’s help.

"You want me, the Ming Dynasty, to send troops to help you deal with the Khitans?" Zhu Shou looked at Sima Guang and sighed slightly.The dignified princes and kings are now asking themselves to send troops to rescue the crisis. Will the Ming Dynasty do the same in the future?

"Don't dare. Please come forward and temporarily restrain the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers and horses. As for the Khitan soldiers and horses, I, the Song Dynasty, will deal with them." Sima Guang held back the shame in his heart. The Khitan soldiers and horses were just a group of barbarians. Although they were very powerful in combat, if If Ming Dynasty still needs to send troops, then everyone will probably lose face.

"This is easy to handle. I believe that the Southern Song Dynasty will still give you this face. After all, if you are defeated by the Khitan and lose your territory, the Southern Song Dynasty may not be able to benefit." Zhu Shou agreed without thinking.

Sima Guang retreated. He still wanted to wait for news from Zhu Shou to find out whether the Khitans really had any strength behind them, and why they sent troops south under such circumstances to join forces with the Southern Song Dynasty and attack the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, do you think there is someone behind the Khitan?" Wu Meiniang was a little surprised after Sima Guang left. "Mother, I believe there are no such coincidences in this world. The Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty were fighting, and the Khitans suddenly attacked, catching the Northern Song Dynasty off guard. If there was no one behind this, I would not believe it even if I were killed." Li Dongyang smiled bitterly. road.

Zhu Shou nodded and said: "I am very interested in the people behind the Khitan. At this time, the other countries are unable to take action. Only I, the Ming Dynasty, have the chance. However, the main energy of the Ming Dynasty in the next stage will be on the Eastern Barren. This is You have to force me to make a choice!"

Only then did everyone remember that in the next stage of the Ming Dynasty, the main focus was on the Eastern Wasteland, not the Northern Song Dynasty.

Whether it is Donghuang or the Song Dynasty, once troops are sent out, the results will not be seen in the short term. The war will last for a long time. Once the two-front war is fought, the pressure on the Ming Dynasty will be great. Not everyone is aware of this phenomenon. Want to see.

"Your Majesty, I think you should think twice before taking action at this time. The Eastern Wilderness is our Ming Dynasty's established policy. Before the death of Sui Wang Yang Guang, he helped the king. Moreover, the king's layout in the Eastern Wilderness is about to be completed and cannot be changed. As for In the Northern Song Dynasty, don’t you believe that the Northern Song Dynasty couldn’t even resist the Khitans?” Li Dongyang said sternly.

Xie Qian also spoke up and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Li said is true. The Northern Song Dynasty has been inherited for many years and has been at war with the Khitans for many years. Is there no way to resist the enemy's attack? He actually wants to let me, the Ming Dynasty, fight. I think it's a bit inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, didn't the Northern Song Dynasty say it? Just ask the Southern Song Dynasty to stop the army's attack. In that case, why don't the king write to Wen Tianxiang and ask him to postpone the attack on the Northern Song Dynasty. I believe the Southern Song Dynasty will accept the king's suggestion. " Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed with a dangerous light. It was obvious that if Wen Tianxiang did not agree, he would find a way to make the other party agree.

"Then let the people from Minglou hurry up and go to Khitan. I have a bad feeling. There may be changes in Khitan that we don't know about." Zhu Shou looked into the distance with a trace of solemnity on his face.

This is a paradoxical world. Some things can take advantage of one's own memory, but some things can only be defeated step by step with one's own powerful martial arts.

"Yes, I will ask Minglou to investigate immediately." Wu Meiniang also noticed the changes and did not dare to neglect, so she hurriedly sent the order not to mention it.

On the Minglou located outside the palace, red fonts soon appeared, ascertaining the secret of the Khitan people's march south. Among them, there were as many as two thousand meritorious deeds, which instantly detonated the entire Jinling City.

"Lord Sima, has King Ming agreed to send troops?" Qiao Feng returned to Guanyi and saw Sima Guang writing a letter.

Sima Guang shook his head and said: "Although King Ming has no objection, in fact, I guess it is a bit doubtful. After all, the main energy of Ming Dynasty is still in Donghuang. Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses have already set off. Before the death of Sui King Yang Guang, he gave the people of the world A big picture has been laid out, giving Ming the opportunity to intervene in the Eastern Wilderness, how could King Ming give up."

Sima Guang was still very sober. Compared with the fundamental interests of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty actually didn't have much to offer, far away in the Eastern Wasteland.

"Although Donghuang is very good, if the Ming Dynasty enters it rashly, I am afraid that it will be opposed by everyone in Donghuang. In comparison, it will be much more convenient to encroach on the Southern Song Dynasty." Qiao Feng thought for a while and said.

Sima Guang glanced at the three brothers and said hesitantly: "King Ming suspected that this matter had nothing to do with the Southern Song Dynasty. This should be an internal matter of the Khitan people."

"Impossible, Khitan is a barbaric land. How could these people know these calculations? It's impossible." Duan Yu retorted without thinking.

If taking advantage of others' danger was really the idea of ​​the Khitans, Duan Yu would have to be on guard against whether the Khitans would attack him next.

"Nothing is impossible. I think this matter may not have anything to do with the Southern Song Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang should not be so unwise." Xu Zhu also said.

"Now Minglou has been dispatched, I believe we will get the news soon." Sima Guang was a little worried.
