Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 369
Zhang Qiyuan's mind is alive now, let alone Wang Xiu's real plan, these words reminded him, now that his position has been stabilized, Zhao Huan relied on him more and more, and Wang Xiu's importance gradually decreased.

However, Wang Xiu is indeed very capable, he has to admit that if he stays in the capital, it will be a change.As for the other party talking to himself and wanting to let it out, could it be a fog bomb?There is no reason!He glanced at Wang Xiu thoughtfully, and kept calculating in his mind what Wang Xiu's words meant.

He was summoned first, and because Geng Nanzhong was present, he wanted to take the opportunity to see Wang Xiu's purpose, so he beat around the bush and asked Zhao Ji to mention Jin Jun, which reminded Zhao Huan of Wang Xiu, and immediately called for an audience.

It is not easy for the Son of Heaven to ask questions, of course Zhang Qiyuan has to be a good person, since it was Geng Nanzhong who started it, of course he should be a villain.

Wang Xiu's answer to Geng Nanzhong's question was unhurried, almost impeccable, which made this guy feel powerless like a dog biting a hedgehog, unable to speak.

"Zhige, the captives attacked suddenly, and you are able to withdraw the entire army and launch a counterattack. Even the veteran commander who has been in the army for decades is ashamed of himself!"

Wang Xiu's eyelids twitched. Geng Nanzhong's words were extremely vicious. They overwhelmed the Jin army to the point of being invincible. As long as they attacked, it would be a crime if you didn't wipe out the entire army. Viciousness is vicious, but it is extremely stupid, even Zhang Qiyuan also flashed by. Look contemptuously.

Without any hesitation, he said in a loud voice: "Master, as an important minister of the imperial court and government, he actually praised the captives and belittled the emperor's guards and soldiers. I really have nothing to say."

"You..." Geng Nanzhong's face changed, he never expected that Wang Xiu would attack him, and it was a more poisonous theory, Zhao Huan's ears were soft, if he really listened to it, he would inevitably feel grudges.

Wang Xiu almost didn't speak to Geng Nanzhong at all, he said loudly again: "Your Majesty, the captives are fleeing to the north, and it is a good time to pursue them. I am willing to lead 78 generals to pursue them vigorously. I hope Your Majesty will approve."

Zhang Qiyuan had a toothache, what was Wang Xiu really thinking?He really couldn't figure it out.As a literati, the most ideal thing is to stay in the capital to assist the emperor and achieve some fame. The next best thing is to experience in the big county. As for leading the army to fight, that is the disdain of literati. I don't like it very much, but he has real skills, and the queen in the inner palace seems to take him seriously.

After a long time, Zhao Huan's attitude should be slowly changed. He wants to invite the county and take the initiative to lead the army. There is a strong conspiracy in it.

Geng Nanzhong's face was pale, he glared at Wang Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, allies should not be pursued. Wang Zhige started the war lightly and has not figured it out yet, yet he still wants to confuse His Majesty. What should you do?"

"Bewitching Your Majesty, Youbang?" Wang Xiu smiled coldly, and said disdainfully: "The soldiers are weak in Shenjing, and Taiyuan is besieged. What is it called Youbang? I don't know which Analects I read. It is my duty to bewitch Your Majesty, how dare I ask Mr. Xiang if he can go to Taiyuan in person to persuade allies to withdraw their troops?"

Geng Nanzhong was speechless, asking him to go to Taiyuan wouldn't mean sending him to his death!Everything Wang Xiu said was reasonable, and he really did his duty as a minister, so he couldn't refute it.

Seeing Geng Nanzhong deflated, Zhang Qiyuan laughed secretly in his stomach. He rarely praised Wang Xiu, but his face was numb.

Seeing Wang Xiu's sharp words, Zhao Huan's face was very ugly.What Wang Xiu said was good, he had nothing to say, but Wang Xiu's attitude made him very unhappy, he had a strong sense of orthodoxy, and he valued the difference between respect and inferiority, Wang Xiu contradicted and even humiliated Geng Nanzhong, which he couldn't tolerate, It is true that he values ​​Zhang Qiyuan, but he has a special affection for Geng Nanzhong, which cannot be replaced by others.

"The Qing family has done their best." The words affirmed Wang Xiu's achievements, but they were cold.

Zhang Qiyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that Zhao Huan's attitude towards Wang Xiu had changed. The reason why he maintained his relationship with Wang Xiu was because of the night of Wang Xiu's passing on the throne. Avoidance, this is also an important reason for Wang Xiuneng's continuous promotion.

However, Wang Xiu embarrassed Geng Nanzhong and suddenly alerted him. It turned out that he thought that he could fight against Geng Nanzhong because he had Zhao Huan's trust, which was simply too ridiculous.Lao Geng has been in the East Palace for 14 years!It can be said that the darkest moment in Zhao Huan's life was spent with Geng Nanzhong's company. In other words, the relationship between them is not that father and son are better than father and son, and others cannot compare.

After figuring out this relationship, he began to change his original intention. Geng Nanzhong cannot completely break up, it is time to repair the relationship!

"Listen to Lord Wang's words, will the captives not let it go?"

Zhang Qiyuan spoke suddenly, making Geng Nanzhong's eyelids twitch.

Wang Xiu didn't seem to understand, she nodded and said: "Exactly, the captives have tasted the sweetness, with their greed, how can they let it go."

What I was waiting for was your words. Seeing Wang Xiu enter the hub, Zhang Qiyuan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the captives, are they not grateful? The escort of a hundred thousand soldiers is enough to show the majesty of the heavenly court. Are you afraid that they will be greedy?"

Wang Xiu didn't know that Li Bangyan persuaded Zhao Huan, but his understanding of history allowed him to conclude that Zhao Huan was a coward in frontier affairs, and he didn't seem to understand the trap, so he said decisively: "The captives retreated calmly, and dared to attack the escorting army when crossing the river. It can be seen that they failed His Majesty's tolerance, Nianhan's tens of thousands of troops are still raging in Hedong, and there is no sign of their withdrawal." Having said this, his eyes flashed, and he said: "I dare to conclude that Nianhan will definitely go south to Longde government."

Zhao Huan shivered, but Geng Nanzhong and Zhang Qiyuan's eyes lit up, and Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile, "Don't joke about important military affairs."

"No jokes."

"Could it be that Mr. Wang really wants to confuse the owner?" Zhang Qiyuan said with a grim expression.

Geng Nanzhong's eyes flickered, and he couldn't figure out Zhang Qiyuan's routine. This fellow took the initiative to speak for Wang Xiu recently, and he took the attitude of leading the battle. Why did he completely change his mind today?
"Could it be that the Qing family has military affairs?" Zhao Heng couldn't help but care. He almost forgot about the powerful West Road Jin Army during this time.

Wang Xiu shook her head and said calmly: "There is no military situation, only judgment based on the battle situation."

Geng Nanzhong snorted, and said disdainfully: "If you don't have military intelligence, you will underestimate yourself. Zhige is really a general!" Absolute humiliation, calling a scholar a general is an open provocation, and even Zhang Qiyuan cast a dissatisfied look.

Wang Xiu was indifferent, and didn't even look at Geng Nanzhong, as if this person was nothing but his vision.

Zhao Huan also curled his lips, and said displeasedly: "I announced that I summoned Qing's family to meet for the battle on the pontoon bridge. Don't say anything else."

Wang Xiu's face was calm, and he said indifferently: "Your Majesty, within ten days, Nianhan will definitely invade the south, and I hope Your Majesty is ready."

Zhang Qiyuan's eyelids twitched, he secretly took a breath, and secretly scolded Wang Xiu for being deceived by lard, which was a big excuse.

Geng Nanzhong was overjoyed. He was worrying about not being able to catch Wang Xiu's words. This kid was as slippery as a loach. How could he think that he was confused. This is an excellent opportunity and must not be lost. He immediately scolded: "Nonsense, What evidence do you have to say that Nianhan went south? Now that the north-south alliance is good, and the main force of the captives is retreating, they will definitely inform Nianhan to withdraw and retreat quickly to face punishment."

Zhang Qiyuan was hesitant, he knew that every time Wang Xiu looked at it as an adventure, but after careful analysis, he was actually deliberate, and would never do anything he was not sure of. Could there be any calculations, he suppressed his thoughts to calm himself down.

Zhao Huan's eyes were stern, he stared at Wang Xiu closely, and said bluntly: "There will be a Guantang within ten days, the Qing family really dare to say, is this another judgment?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty has forgotten that back then, His Majesty's ministers and attendants ascended the city and retreated?" Wang Xiu did not avoid Zhao Huan's eyes, and her tone was equally stern.

Zhao Huan took a deep breath, he was really impressed by Lianzhu Lei at that moment, Wang Xiu said that if he retreated, he would retreat, and he was not ambiguous at all, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, is he really the reincarnation of a fairy?Can predict the future?Seems kind of nonsense.

Seeing Zhao Heng's hesitation, Geng Nanzhong was afraid of the cowardice of the soft-eared officials, and immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Xiu is belittling himself, and I think he should go to the bathroom yard for self-examination."

Wang Xiu glanced at Geng Nanzhong, smiled ironically, and said disdainfully: "Your Majesty, I said ten days is too long!"

Zhang Qiyuan's eyes widened, he was almost scared to death by Wang Xiu, did you Wang Dalang's head show off?This is not how you seek death.

Geng Nanzhong's eyes lit up again, he turned his head to stare at Wang Xiu, and said sharply: "Bold Wang Xiu, dare to tease rumors, what should you do?"

Wang Xiu raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "Within two or three days, if there is no Guantang in the east of the river, I will immediately hang up the crown and say nothing about my official career."

Zhao Heng was stunned immediately. Wang Xiu's eyes were sharp and his tone was firm. He didn't seem to be talking nonsense at all. He lost his composure.

"Don't be fooled by him." Geng Nanzhong's face was very ugly, and he was a little panicked. The confidence exuded by Wang Xiu made him lose his inch, and he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Qiyuan.He had to admit that he was gradually dissatisfied with Zhang Qiyuan, but he still admired this fellow's resourcefulness, hoping to see something in Zhang Qiyuan's eyes.But disappointed to find that Zhang Qiyuan's eyes were confused.

"The Qing family is so sure... this, this." Zhao Heng was frightened and didn't know what to say.

Wang Xiu's face was extremely calm, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to guard the river for His Majesty, and never let Nianhan cross the river."

Zhao Heng sighed deeply, he couldn't figure out the situation, and couldn't make up his mind anymore, so he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Zhang Qiyuan.

Zhang Qiyuan was very conflicted. He nervously analyzed Wang Xiu's intentions. He could conclude that the so-called "Nian Han going south" must be Wang Xiu's political gamble.

The question now is, what exactly is Wang Xiu going to do?Political suicide still has another purpose, he felt that he was grasping at a point in the confusion.From the palace gate to the present, Wang Xiu has always emphasized the external release, and the soldiers never tire of cheating!What is often strongly demanded is the illusion, and the second best thing is the real purpose, but some things are just the opposite.

There was a gleam of clarity in his confused eyes, and he said slowly: "The prisoner will not arrive in two or three days. If he makes a wrong judgment, Lord Wang will not be able to die."
