Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 429
"The siege of the city twice was a great humiliation, not because of our small number of soldiers, nor the weakness of our national strength. Back then, if we had used the old strategy and attacked the captives halfway through their retreat, they would have wiped out the main force of the captives in one fell swoop. What is the shame of today? ?Many opportunities were not seized and lost in vain." Wang Xiu's tone became more and more disrespectful.

"The Jurchens are not terrible. Can a small clan with only a few hundred thousand people defeat a large country with hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians? Of course it is possible, but this possibility comes from within the Celestial Dynasty. It is not the Jurchens who defeated us, but us. Defeat yourself. The court made too many mistakes, so that the dignified dynasty fell to a miserable state, and was bullied at will by a small Jurchen! Now that the crisis has not been resolved, the court should learn from the lesson and jointly agree on a strategic strategy against the Jurchens countermeasures."

Wang Xiu turned his eyes to Sun Fu, and said in a deep voice: "Thinking about what Wu Shu said to the officials yesterday, it is really ridiculous. It is meaningless to win Kaifeng! What they want is gold and silver, not to destroy the country. They want you What is a ruined city without oil and water for? It’s a pity that we don’t fight when it’s time to fight, and when we shouldn’t fight, we blindly take risks, don’t make preparations, and don’t summon the defender Qin Wang to let the captives all the way to the city of Kaifeng.”

"The thin city wall of three thousand light riders was just for demonstration, but it made tens of thousands of troops gather their troops and dare not go down. They couldn't conquer Kaifeng, but they didn't want to rely on the blessing of Liujia soldiers to occupy the outer city. They wanted to blackmail the court and asked for more gold and silver. I don't want the officials to enter the tiger's den, so that all the gates of Kaifeng are opened, and all the gates and defenses are controlled by the captives, and the scholars of the world will be ashamed."

"Isn't it? If I hadn't acted decisively, the army of more than [-] people would have been scared away by the sound of a drum, and the reorganization of the army in Chenzhou would have been completed. However, the imperial court strictly prohibited King Qin's army from entering the capital, and a great opportunity was lost. Otherwise."

He commented on gains and losses without any scruples, and his words became more presumptuous and rude. Not only did he not show face to the ministers, but he also began to be disrespectful to the emperor.

Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye and Qin Hui were stunned when they heard this. Wang Xiu was simply too bold to attack the two emperors and the Song Dynasty's national policy of non-resistance in front of them. It would be disrespectful in normal times. .

However, Wang Xiu's sentence pointed to the weakness of the imperial court's policy, which made Sun Fu blush.Although he is not an unprincipled Minister of Discussion and Argument, but the farce of the Liujia Shenbing is a disaster caused by him. At this point, he has an inescapable responsibility, and no one can justify it.And the Zhao Song Dynasty had a great relationship with the entire ruling group when it came to this step, and no one can refute it.

Zhang Shuye's face turned pale when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it. He was full of resentment, and Wang Xiu's words made him feel relieved.

"Originally there is nothing wrong with the peace talks. It's no big deal to bear with it and take a step back. The key is to have an insurmountable bottom line. Forbearance without principles is absolutely not advisable. The most harmful thing is to rely on temporary blood, regardless of the consequences. The toughness, the result can only lose all the capital."

Zhang Shuye's tone was true, but he couldn't stand Wang Xiu's accusation. His last words exceeded his limit, and he said coldly, "The waiter system, what advice do you have for the current situation?"

"I've thought about it over and over again. Now, in order to let the captives never have the desire to destroy me, we should immediately ask the sage for an order to help the Jianguo succeed to the throne." After Wang Xiu finished speaking, he carefully observed the reactions of the three people, and saw that none of them showed much surprise. It suddenly occurred to him that Zhao's father and son were already prisoners, and it was only natural for Jian Guo to ascend the throne. Everyone had this concern, but he said it out by himself.

"Everyone, what do you think?" Since you are the first bird, then be a strong first bird, and you can't be the first bird for nothing.

"The words of the servant system are very good! The supervisor of the country ascended the throne, the plot of the captives failed, and the people with lofty ideals from all over the world came enthusiastically, and Kaifeng's predicament can be solved in an instant." Zhang Shuye flashed a relaxed smile on his face, pressing his heart to say but What he didn't want to say, finally let Wang Xiu say it. Since someone spoke, he didn't hold back, and the words were a bit disrespectful.

Sun Fu's eyes were complicated. As the teacher of Jian Guo and the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, he should take the throne of Jian Guo both in public and private. He sighed and said, "That's fine."

Qin Hui is not a pedantic person, he said loudly: "The lower officials seconded the proposal."

The two governors agreed, and Yushi Zhongcheng seconded the proposal. Wang Xiu was very satisfied, and smiled heartily: "Everyone really understands the righteousness. I believe that the captives will retreat soon." After a pause, he said confidently: "I and Wu When Shu was speaking, I heard him faintly say that the Jurchens have been fighting for years, and the soldiers have been unable to go home for several years. They have long complained, and I believe that people are determined, and we still have a lot to do."

The three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if the peace negotiation is successful, it will be a relief for them.

"Then, the emperor and the officials..." After all, Sun Fu was loyal to the Zhao family, and he had to welcome back to the emperor. This was definitely the common mentality of scholar-bureaucrats, and he could not escape the vulgarity.

Wang Xiu shook his head and didn't answer Sun Fu's question, but the look on his face showed that he had no choice but to end.To be honest, even if he really wanted to rescue Zhao's father and son, he didn't have the strength to do so. They have a proper army of 20.

"Never, never." Sun Fu understood Wang Xiu's meaning and abandoned the entire royal family. This practice violated the bottom line of morality in his heart, and he really couldn't accept it, especially when there was a glimmer of hope in despair, The blow was too brutal!
"Since we want to have peace talks, we must invite the Supreme Master and the officials back to Luan. Other than that, there is nothing to talk about."

Wang Xiu looked at Sun Fu, secretly disdained his pedantry, and said coldly: "Sir, today, why do you bargain with others?"

Indeed, judging from the current situation, the imperial court does not have much bargaining chips, so that the Jurchens can no longer attack, even if God has eyes.

"In any case, the captives must be forced to retreat first. This is the only way to keep Kaifeng City and the prison country. Apart from this, everything else is for later." Domineering, those bloodshot eyes looked around everyone, shot out a stern light, and said coldly: "The sage has approved my suggestion. In extraordinary times, we should use extraordinary strategies to conduct peace talks before the captives. Other things can be discussed in the long term." .”

Wang Xiu carried Zhu Lian out, with an absolutely domineering attitude in his words. Now it was no longer a discussion, but to make them obey. A person who commanded an army of [-] had no embarrassment when he should be strong.

Qin Hui nodded silently. Zhang Shuye also sighed and said nothing. As a wise minister, he understood that what Wang Xiu said was very pragmatic and frank. If you want too much, you may lose everything in the end. It is the common fault of the Zhao family, father and son, and even most of the important officials.

"But, but anyway, if the emperor and the officials don't come back, they can't, can't..." Sun Fu was still unwilling to argue with Wang Xiu, when he saw Wang Xiu's eyes full of sarcasm , I suddenly felt that my argument was so pale and so powerless.Whether Zhao Song Jiangshan can be kept or not is still unknown. To be obsessed with the return of the second emperor is tantamount to idiots' dreaming and scholarly anger!
Suddenly, he felt that he was very sad and useless, and his knowledge could not compare with a knife or a gun.

"If you have no objections, then settle the matter, negotiate peace with the captives as soon as possible, and jointly assist the supervisor to ascend the throne, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Wang Xiu glanced at Sun Fu inadvertently, and saw that his eyes were closed tightly, and there were a few tears in the corners of his eyes. Drop cloudy tears.

Suddenly, he felt that Sun Fu's loyalty to the Zhao family was indeed beyond his imagination, but it was a pity that the other party was just a scholar, who could not govern the country with literature, and could not stabilize the country with martial arts. .

Zhong Liqiu?He finally understood Zhong Liqiu's mood at that time, the helplessness, powerlessness, and inability to recover from the injury, grief, and pain!He couldn't help but sighed softly, and said calmly: "Mr. Xiang, you can defend against the enemy only by being honest and honest. I hope you all will make a quick decision."

Long nights and dreams?Qin Hui couldn't help shivering. He savored these four words carefully, and suddenly had a feeling that Wang Xiu was definitely not targeting the Jurchens outside the city. As for who he was talking about, he had already outlined the figure of that person in front of his eyes!

Wang Xiu hesitated a little, and felt sympathy for Sun Fu. He had already changed the fate of many people. It's better not to be too mean. After all, Sun Fu is also a tragic figure. He lowered his voice and said sincerely: "Sun Xianggong Doing justice for the country can be said to be worrying and exhausting, and I ask Xianggong to be more troublesome when the new emperor is enthroned."

Sun Fu closed his eyes and said nothing, what else could he say?Everything has come to an end, the discussion is just a formality, the fate of the royal family has already been decided.

Qin Hui peeked at Wang Xiu's face, the corner of his mouth twitched as if he wanted to say something, hesitated for a long time and then held back.

Zhang Shuye's face was expressionless, he gently stroked his beard, glanced at Wang Xiu's face from time to time, but sighed in his heart: "The sky is going to change!" '

He didn't doubt the correctness of Wang Xiuli's supervision of the country. As the saying goes, only a righteous name can command the world. If a reputation is not right, who will work for you!
On the third day, Wang Xiucai took a little time to go home. He was too busy to spare any manpower. He had affairs to deal with all the time. Fortunately, he had time to go back and have a look after the major issues were settled.

The gate was very bleak, it was actually open, and the ground was fragmented. Before he got off his horse, he was restless, and his face was extremely ugly.

"What's going on, who can tell me what's going on?" Wang Xiu walked into the house slowly, seeing the ransacked home, not even a chair was left, her face was almost dripping water, and the murderous intent in her eyes had already materialized.

Xu Zhong stared wide-eyed and led twenty guards to follow. Seeing Wang Xiu's red eyes, he almost ran away. This has never happened before. Even in the face of thousands of troops, he was calm and calm, and hurriedly said: "My lord, may I ask?" Neighbors?"

"Yes, go quickly, call them all, and kill those who can't do it immediately." Wang Xiu was burning with anxiety, and the tyranny deep in her heart rose.
