Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 425 Infighting
Wang Xiu's eyelids twitched, Wushu really caught the key point, Cai Shui can transport grain and grass, but eating and drinking for [-] to [-] troops and millions of citizens is by no means a trivial matter.Coupled with the possible attack of the Golden Army cavalry, it is very difficult to transport food and grass, and it is barely enough to maintain the rations of the army. The consequences of a large-scale famine are serious.

The purpose of Wu Shu's visit gradually became clear, and he still had a card to bet that he couldn't bear it, and he didn't care about millions of people, so it's no wonder that he calmly talked nonsense with him.

"I still say the same thing, fight if you don't accept it, wait for it at any time, and stay with you to the end."

He is very tough and helpless, but apart from that, he has no other choice in the ever-changing times. Wang Xiu believes that he is right. Lives and people are important, but the world is more important. Two evils are the lesser. If he has no attitude, he will Trapped in absolute passivity, seemingly poisonous or even mediocre strategies are often cited as classics by later generations when they are used at the right time, place, and things!He must persevere.

"You are very courageous!" Wu Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Xiu, his eyes were full of admiration.

"Shun Chengcang is nothing more than a mere Kaifeng and the whole world, and you will have a choice." Wang Xiu believed in her own strength and once again strengthened her confidence. He had already seized the initiative.As long as the new king succeeds to the throne, the guards from all over the world will gather with their troops.Since the guards everywhere are not stupid, I believe that the Jurchens are not stupid, and they also know that there are strong enemies outside the strong city for a long time. The outcome of the battle is uncertain, it is true to go back and enjoy it quickly.

Wu Shu's eyes were complicated, and he forced a smile and said, "Don't try to think about Kidnap City, we let go of Xinsong Gate, it doesn't mean we give up Kidnap City again."

"Then let's have vegetables, radishes and green onions!" Wang Xiu blinked and smiled playfully.

"I'll go back and discuss."

"The location of the peace talks must be in the city."

"Tomorrow, we will send envoys into the city." Wu Shu nodded, turned around and left without hesitation.

Wang Xiu curled her lips, turned back and walked towards the city gate in a chic way, but heard Wushu's rough voice behind her: "What's the point of keeping Kaifeng City?"

He stopped, turned his head to look back, stared at Wushu, grinned his teeth and said, "What's the point of taking Kaifeng?"

"No."

"No."

The two men looked at each other for three breaths, understood each other's disdain, and smiled knowingly almost at the same time.Inexplicably talking, no one knows what they are thinking, at least they understand each other.

It was night, Zhu Lian couldn't fall asleep, after coaxing the prince to sleep, he wore a purple fox fur cloak and leaned against the entrance of the hall, letting the bone-chilling night wind of February blow on his face, looking up at the starry night sky for a long time.

Even though she knew that it was impossible for Wang Xiu to come due to the closure of all the palaces in the middle of the night, for some reason, there was an irresistible urge to see Wang Xiu very much tonight, and there was still a faint hope in her heart.

Eight full years, the wait is too long!
"Second Sister, it's late at night, and the door is too cold, let's go in!" Qing Jun cautiously persuaded, these days are frightened, and so many dramatic things happened today, which frightened her, who knows what will happen tomorrow? What happened?One day at a time.

"Is he still in the city in such a cold day?" Zhu Lian said to himself.

"Second sister, the officials are too busy, so you don't have to worry." Qing Jun looked at Zhu Lian distressedly.

Zhu Lian sighed faintly, turned around in disappointment and returned to the Nuan Pavilion in the palace, her heart could not be calmed down for a long time

Indeed, when Wang Xiu entered the city, he patrolled around and deployed defensive forces. He was busy all night, and at five o'clock, he fell asleep on the tower of Liangmen.

When he woke up, it was almost past noon, he stretched his waist, his whole body was sore, he was still sleepy and exhausted, but he couldn’t sleep anymore, there were still many things to do, he slowly got up and said to himself : "Why did I sleep so deeply?"

Coincidentally, Xu Zhong pushed the door open and came in. Seeing that Wang Xiu had woken up, he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency is awake, I'll ask someone to fetch water."

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier, what if you miss the palace visit, what can I do!" For so many days, Wang Xiu has been in a state of high tension, feeling really tired, and now she is still exhausted all over.

"By the way, Zhang Xianggong and Lord Qin are waiting outside." Xu Zhong patted his head and said.

"Who, which Zhang Xianggong and Lord Qin?" For a moment, Wang Xiu didn't react.He rubbed his temples, and suddenly thought of Zhang Shuye, who signed the same contract with the Privy Council, um, Qin Hui should be Yushi Zhongcheng, and he was promoted very quickly.

Because of his appearance, history has changed a lot. Most of the people who were kidnapped were the royal family, and a considerable number of ministers remained in Kaifeng City. If they did not come in time, many ministers would not be spared, including Zhang Shuye and Qin Huier. people.

"How long have you been here?"

"It's half an hour."

"Nonsense, why didn't you wake me up earlier." Wang Xiu didn't care about the fact that she hadn't washed her face yet, so she hurriedly drank a glass of water to greet her, leaving behind Xu Zhong with an aggrieved face.

"Zhang Xianggong, brother of Hui, you are negligent." Wang Xiu greeted the two of them as soon as he left the door. He and Qin Hui knew each other, but he had never met Zhang Shuye.

"Bachelor, you are welcome!"

"Wen really works hard, and it is right to wait for my brother."

Zhang Shuye is not interested in Wang Xiu. A person with real ability is naturally very reserved. Although Wang Xiu has become famous, he is still a rising star in his eyes. He thinks that with a [-] army in his hand, he can break through the Jin army's barriers and enter. Kaifeng.

However, today he was willing to wait half an hour because Wang Xiu raised his troops to serve the king and regained Kaifeng Mansion among more than [-] captives.

Qin Hui, needless to say, that is an old friendship!

"Yesterday in the shabby house, I heard that the army was entering the city. I wanted to see Wenshi, but because Wenshi was busy with the battle and stayed overnight at the city, it was not easy to bother me. No, I brought Mr. Zhang here early in the morning." Qin Hui fell down. It's old hot, seeing that Wang Xiu's market is rising, of course he will show off his relationship with Wang Xiu in front of Zhang Shuye.

"You two come here in person, there are still many officials in the building who stayed up all night last night and just fell asleep, so I can't entertain you two." Wang Xiu's attitude was very polite.

"What's the matter with the service system! The soldiers have worked hard for days, how can they be easily interrupted." Zhang Shuye is also a literati leader, and he is quite famous in Jingdong. If Wang Xiu was not born, he should be the one who ordered Song Jiang, but I don't know That's all.

Wang Xiu admired Zhang Shuye's frankness, but he didn't have the heart to go around in circles, and said bluntly: "I don't know what's the matter with Mr. Zhang?"

"After experiencing such a catastrophe, the princes in the court want to ask Wen Shi to discuss how to get rid of the captives and welcome them back to the emperor and the officials." Qin Hui did not wait for Zhang Shuye to speak before opening his mouth, revealing the capital officials' feelings for Wang Xiu. There is no way to admit it, who will let people have soldiers in their hands!These days, only soldiers and generals have enough confidence to speak.

Regarding the attitude of the officials in the capital, Wang Xiu is still very confident. He not only occupies the moral pinnacle of King Qin's rescue, but also holds tens of thousands of soldiers who have walked from the mountain of corpses and blood.Being able to enter Kaifeng City already shows that he and these soldiers have already established a life-and-death relationship. As long as he gives an order, many of these soldiers will carry out the order without hesitation.

Steel knives are always full of charm in troubled times!You really can't accept it.Now, no one even publicly accused Wang Xiu of beheading Zhe Yanzhi, but before that there was a lot of discussion, and some people even wanted to capture Wang Xiu.

"Brother Hui, my younger brother is a minister. Speaking of which, he is Master Zhang's deputy. How dare he discuss politics with the princes of the capital." When it was time to be humble, Wang Xiu knew exactly what he should do now.

Zhang Shuye saw Wang Xiu sharing weal and woe with the officials, staying overnight at the top of the city on duty, he was already quite appreciative in his heart, but also saw that he was courteous and courteous, and recognized his status as head of the Privy Council, he was naturally very relieved.Wen Sheng said: "The servants control military affairs and turn things around. They should discuss important matters with the princes."

Wang Xiu's face was calm, but she was thinking about something else in her heart.

Qin Hui had a smile on his face. Of course he was aware of Wang Xiu's weight. He said bluntly that now Wang Xiu is a unique figure. The rise and fall of Zhao Song depends on his own thoughts. He is optimistic about Wang Xiu's future, and he will definitely enter the two governments. Of course, you must maintain a good relationship.

"Master Zhang said, Wen Shi, pack up quickly, I'll go to Da Nei to meet the saint and Jian Guo."

Great Inner Arch Hall

The prince sat on the throne, Zhu Lian sat behind the bead curtain behind the throne, and five people, Sun Fu, Zhang Bangchang, Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui, and Wang Xiu, stood on the steps.

Wang Xiu vaguely looked at the figure of the beaded beauty. He didn't sleep well at night, his eyes were darkened, and he felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't know that the pair of beautiful eyes behind the beaded curtain were also constantly lingering on him, full of deep concern .

Sun Fu returned to his previous demeanor, he squinted at Zhang Bangchang contemptuously, and said slowly: "Your Highness, now that the captives have withdrawn from the city, and Fan Qiong and other traitors are being punished, why does the Xianggong Zhang they proposed still have face?" Standing in this vertical arch hall?"

A few days ago, the Jin people wanted to establish a foreign surname as the emperor, and they liked the cowardice of the prime minister Zhang Bangchang. They forced Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye and others to sign the petition several times. Zhang Bangchang launched an attack.

Wang Xiu rolled her eyes at Sun Fu. Zhang Bangchang's initial attitude was terrified, he didn't know what to do, and he never did anything too far.In short, he didn't have any bad feelings towards Zhang Bangchang, on the contrary, he had a good relationship. Some things were not based on personal will. When the Jin army besieged the city, Zhang Bangchang was doing his duty as a minister. He was just an old Confucian.

Zhang Bangchang was in fear, since yesterday he felt that Sun Fu and others would definitely take out his anger on him, and as expected, Sun Fu clearly punished him to death, his legs became weak from fright, and he hurriedly said: "Prince Mingjian, how dare I Have a disobedient heart."

"Shut up." Sun Fu pointed at Zhang Bangchang and angrily said: "It's nonsense, why didn't you argue with death that day, but today you got clean, you really have no shame." If it wasn't for the great blessings of the Song Dynasty and the blessings of our ancestors today, we would have been succeeded by such villains."
