Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 355 The Defense of Tokyo 43
Wang Xiu smacked his lips, Zhong Liqiu couldn't understand what he meant, so he pushed the boat along and waited for the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on Jin Jun.He also thought about this point, Zhao Huan's vacillating policies made all the generals in the court hesitant, and lost opportunities again and again, all afraid that Zhao Huan would change his orders from day to day, and if they really did, they might be regarded as sacrifices.

Otherwise, Zhong Shidao and Li Gang would not hesitate and miss many opportunities.

If he can really escort the trip, wait for the opportunity to attack the Jin army with 78 generals, create an established fact, tie up the generals from all walks of life, and fight if they don't want to, he will definitely hit the Jin army hard.However, this was inconsistent with his plan. Even if the Jin army was severely injured, it could not eliminate the main force of the Jurchens. He would inevitably become a scapegoat when he returned to the court.

You can't have both, he pondered for a while, put aside his thoughts for a while, and said in a deep voice, "What about the second way?"

"Isn't there still a grand master?" Zhong Liqiu saw Wang Xiufa's question, and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Good plan!" Wang Xiu's eyes lit up again, why didn't he expect that the wonderful opportunity, as long as the strategy is properly planned, the crisis will be resolved naturally.

Zhao Huan's biggest heart trouble is Zhao Ji, who can become the core of solving Zhao Ji's problem. I believe that no matter how big the matter is, it can't stop Zhao Huan from keeping him. He is moved.

"Could it be that you just watched the captives run rampant and the court lost the best opportunity?" Zhong Liqiu didn't hold his breath for the first time, and asked Wang Xiu in a questioning tone, pointing directly at his heart.

Wang Xiu could hear Zhong Liqiu's dissatisfaction. He understood that Mr. Zhao still had hope for the Zhao family. Everyone has their own ambitions. He believed that Zhong Liqiu would not betray him, and he would not speak out in front of you. If the ministers and generals dare not obey their orders, how could those captives come to the city of Kaifeng? Even if there are tens of thousands of captives outside the city, it is not enough for the imperial court to fill the gap between their teeth."

Zhong Liqiu was speechless, he really had nothing to say, it was precisely the two Zhao officials who caused the situation today.The previous one ran away after a mess, but this one hesitated in doing things, making people at a loss as to what to do. It might as well be a little more persistent than the previous one.Favorable situations are constantly being wasted. Seeing the great opportunity of the prisoner Shi Laocheng, he still has to send important ministers to negotiate a peace. It is unimaginable. He really regards the world as his own.

Seeing Zhong Liqiu pondering, Wang Xiu didn't want to touch Mr. Sen's sensitive nerves. It's unethical to destroy someone else's dream. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. When the door rang when he was embarrassed, he quickly opened the door, which was also regarded as revealing the truth. This embarrassment.

When the door opened, the visitor was shocked, even his eyelids twitched, but the visitor was still alert, and immediately bowed and said, "I have seen you, my lord."

"Where do we not meet each other in life!" Wang Xiu looked at the person who came, and nodded slightly. The person who came was Zhong Lirui, one of the 'culprits' yesterday.

Zhonglirui greeted Zhongliqiu as his son and nephew, Wang Xiu was not surprised, the day before yesterday he felt that the two were related, Zhonglirui turned out to be Zhongliqiu's nephew.

"Sir, but you never mentioned to the students that there is actually a hero in Zhongli's family who is still with us." Wang Xiu called Mr. Zhongliqiu with half the respect of the teacher. After all, the emperor's disciples cannot become other people's students.To Zhongliqiu, he held half a master's etiquette, but to Zhonglirui, he had another identity, implicitly becoming an elder.

"Self-reliance is the most important thing in a person. Zhongli's family members are weak, and they must not be able to raise children." Zhongliqiu's eyes were firm, but there was still a hint of warmth, and his tone was full of vague expectations.

Wang Xiu glanced at Zhong Lirui and asked, "How is Chen Shaoyang?"

"Brother Shaoyang knows that he has caused a catastrophe, and he is thinking hard about his mistakes behind closed doors." Zhong Lirui admired Wang Xiu very much, and his attitude was quite respectful.

Nonsense, Wang Xiu smiled disdainfully, if Chen Dong regretted it, the sun would come out to the west tomorrow, otherwise he wouldn’t be killed by Zhao Gou, he didn’t understand politics and got ahead, he didn’t get things done for a long time, and almost had an accident, In the end, I really don't know what to say to lose my own food guy.However, he wouldn't make it too clear, people have their own life trajectory, he doesn't really want to interfere in other people's footprints, Chen Dong is a person who accepts death, even if he tries to persuade him, his eyes may not be rolled.

"Sir, I'm going back first, and I have to go out of the city early tomorrow morning." Wang Xiu didn't follow King Su directly, but went out of the city to mobilize guards first, and waited for King Su's chariot in Beicheng. He needed him to dispatch troops and horses.

Zhong Liqiu nodded, his gaze was a bit complicated, and he said in a deep voice, "That's fine, I will also have an audience with the officials tomorrow."

The corners of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, Zhong Liqiu was not too fond of Zhao Heng, what does it mean to take the initiative to see him?Compromise or another purpose?Zhong Liqiu didn't say anything, and he didn't want to inquire about it, let's just let it happen!Anyway, time is running out.

When he took his leave and got on his horse to go back, he had just arrived at the gate of the house, but unexpectedly saw Zhang Qiyuan waiting for him for a long time.

"The hypocrite has brought half a stick of incense. I'll serve him official tea." Youqin Moyan's face was mischievous, just like the little witch from seven or eight years ago, she didn't have the elegance of a married woman.

"If you eat too much, I will accept the decree. The court wants to ask you." Wang Xiu teased, but he was thinking about Zhang Qiyuan's intentions. This is definitely a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken!

After Zhao Huan made up his mind to negotiate peace, he returned to the Palace of Funing with a sense of relief. Just as he was about to rest, he saw Zhu Lian coming and presenting some of his favorite side dishes.

The husband and wife had dinner together, Zhao Huan was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Lady, those captives are finally going to withdraw their troops, and life will be much more peaceful in the future."

"The officials sent Wang Zhige to escort the five great kings as envoys, but Mr. Geng's admonishment?" Zhu Lian asked meaningfully with a deep light shining in his scissored eyes.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhu Lian with a smile, and said, "It's not good to smear Gengqing's family in public. I think Wang Xiu is also a talent, and he is mature and prudent in handling things. It would be appropriate to let him go to the camp."

Zhu Lian was absent-minded, and said lightly: "I hope it will be as the officials think."

"What's the matter, lady?" Zhao Huan heard Zhu Lian's indifference.

Zhu Lian forced a smile, and said, "Zhige has broken down the camp of the captives and confiscated the flag of the captives. I'm afraid the captives will be against him."

The meaning is very clear, but unfortunately Zhao Huan didn't think about it, and said indifferently: "It's a state matter, I think people don't care about it."

"Then let him bring the whole army's guards." Zhu Lian raised his brows slightly.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhu Lian in surprise, and said in disbelief, "The minister's escort is just for show, and the use of the army will only misunderstand the captives, I'm afraid."

Zhu Lian glanced at Zhao Huan, and said displeasedly: "It's a way out for someone."

The words were very blunt. Zhao Huan, who claimed to know Zhu Lian's character, knew that his wife was really angry. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "I can't keep the truth. Anyway, I didn't let him lead the army. If he is smart, he knows what to do." Do it, I don't care about so much nonsense."

How could Zhu Lian have the heart to eat? She was already very disappointed with Zhao Huan. What else could she say for such an irresponsible emperor?Responding to a few excuses, he withdrew and called Qing Jun and said, "Let Zhang Quan go out of the city and inform the officials that the whole army will follow the guards."

Qingjun's pretty face changed, and he said in a low voice: "The government has no orders."

"Just let him do it." Zhu Lian was very impatient, and rolled his eyes at Qingjun fiercely.

Wang Xiu stayed at home for the night, and casually said that he would leave the city tomorrow. In order to avoid the women's worry, he didn't say anything else.Anyway, now that Li Gang and Zhong Shidao are back in office, the order in the city is in good order, and the people have regained their confidence. Youqin Moyan and Wen Xijun are not worried. Their own officials are doing big things, and they can't help them. Just take care of the housework. , just gently told him to pay attention to his daily life outside the city.

Youqin Mo Yan asked curiously: "Officer, what's the matter with Zhang's brother?"

"Reminiscing about the past, chattering, and saying that you are getting more and more beautiful." Wang Xiu joked, he didn't want them to see the dark side of politics.

Zhang Qiyuan came here to do something, and it's not a trivial matter. Can people take it lightly when a weasel pays a New Year greeting to a chicken?Obviously impossible.But he didn't want to think about it, he was too tired!No matter what the other party said, he couldn't do that at all. He kept his heart and everything couldn't deviate too far from the track.Zhang Qiyuan's betrayal was nothing to him. In the face of absolute interests, it would be strange if Zhang Qiyuan didn't frame him.

However, when Zhang Qiyuan came over, he had a new understanding of this guy. This guy is not easy, even the oriole is unwilling to be the one who holds the slingshot.

He really wanted to have a big get-together, but Youqin Moyan didn't get what he wanted, so he could only spend the night very regretfully, romantic but regretful.Man!There is a bit of greed deep in my heart, the harder it is to achieve, the more desire I have, Wen Xijun may have hope, but Youqin Moyan can only make his desire come to nothing, so I have to wait for the opportunity in the future!
The next day, Wang Xiu left the city early and came directly to the temporary camp to call Qiu Fu, Li Bao and others, and said with a smile: "The officials ordered me to be the envoy of the protocol, and led 78 generals to escort King Su. Mutuogang."

Qiu Fu was stunned, and said puzzledly: "The whole army is going out, and Mo Tuogang is the army of the captives. Besides, the officials asked King Su to protect him, so there is no need for many soldiers and horses."

Li Bao looked at Qiu Fu playfully, and he wondered what happened to Qiu Fu. As Wang Xiu's promoted general, he continued to sing against Wang Xiu.Wang Xiu obviously has backhands, but this guy can't see it, it's really jaw-dropping!
Wang Xiu didn't seem to mind, he laughed and said, "I forgot to tell uncle, uncle, you don't want to join the army."

Qiu Fu looked at Wang Xiu in surprise, a trace of anger rose between his brows, and even Li Bao, Feng Yuan, Jing Bo, and Qiu Yun were also taken aback. Wang Xiu's words were too serious, and he directly deprived Qiu Fu of the right to lead the army. How embarrassing what!
"It seems that I'm old!" Qiu Fu also realized the problem. The strategic differences between him and Wang Xiu gradually increased. Especially at critical moments, Wang Xiu would rather divide his troops than let him go to Mutianpo. Wang Xiu argued too much.

Wang Xiu chuckled and said, "Uncle, the Hanlin Academy has drawn up an order. In view of Uncle's achievements, he will be transferred to the third official and transferred to the Guard Ma Junsi to wait for his appointment."
