Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 829
The report in the jurisdiction was very brief, but the amount of information surprised Zhang Tonggu. He was almost accepted by someone. He widened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Is this true?"

Juli couldn't help frowning slightly, seeing Zhang Tonggu who was usually very shrewd, why he suddenly became stupid, and said displeasedly: "Military and state affairs, the person you like, how can it be trifling."

"Great, Meng'an decided how to go out, and he has to hide it from Wang Wenshi. Well, this guy is a smart person, it's not easy!" Zhang Tonggu was overjoyed, and he didn't shy away from the displeasure of his jurisdiction. He also valued Zhang Qiyuan very much, so But the celebrities of the Southern Dynasties!He is also a person with great strategy, and he is also a person who has access to the military secrets of the Privy Council. Being able to defect to Dajin is definitely a major blow to the Southern Dynasty.

However, he is not an optimist. He is well aware of the dangers in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty. How to take a living person out is definitely a very dangerous thing. They can detain you in minutes.

"This requires the cooperation of adults." Juli smiled softly.

Zhang Tonggu was taken aback, feeling very bad, and asked suspiciously: "Meng'an was joking, how can I help?"

"It's very simple, my lord still has to follow what I said below, and just do it safely." The treacherous smile in the jurisdiction made people feel a little grumpy.

However, Zhong Lirui was particularly happy with Wang Xiu's ascension, which indicated that the New Deal of the Song Dynasty would be almost fully implemented, and the world would undergo earth-shaking changes.

However, he never forgot about Zhang Qiyuan, and as soon as he walked out of the shop in the Jurchen room, he received a secret report from the envoy of the Speed ​​Division, and immediately came to the capital hall.

"My lord, there seems to be some movement in Xueshi Zhang." Entering Wang Xiu's private hall, he didn't even take a sip of tea, his tone suppressed his excitement.

"Oh, it seems that Zhang Zichu can't sit still." Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, he was waiting for this moment.For this reason, he did not hesitate to suppress the impeachment of the government and the opposition, and repeatedly delayed, just to create an opportunity for Zhang Qiyuan to escape. As expected, he failed his expectations. This guy finally couldn't sit still, as long as he moved, he would be convicted of the crime.

"My lord, I still can't keep my opinion." Zhong Lirui did not object to Wang Xiu's forcing Zhang Qiyuan to join the enemy, but he never wanted to see him being used by the enemy. Since the other party was confirmed to join the enemy, it was logical that he would be killed if he was convicted.

"It's not that simple. Since the captives value Zhang Zichu, they will try their best to send him out. Wu Shu even started the war again before writing. Even if you want to kill him, there will still be people who choose not to believe it, at least not in the Jiangning area. .”

Wang Xiu has plans to fight against familiar people, but he is not an extremely arrogant and pedantic person. If you know your opponent, and your opponent also knows you, it is not the same thing.

He has a very good understanding of Wushu's tactics and life experience, and he can also roughly understand the political changes of the Jurchens, which determines that he occupies the high end of the strategy and can often strike first.

Zhang Qiyuan is an anomaly. It can be said that he is an anomaly that drives history to produce an anomaly. The boy who has been stupid for a long time has become a new political star in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.Well, it should be said that Shen Mo, Cai Yi, Zhong Lirui, Zong Liang and others are all different numbers brought up by him, and they understand each other differently.

It should be said that Zhang Qiyuan knew him quite well, and he was an extremely formidable opponent, but he also knew Zhang Qiyuan, and he didn't think Zhang Qiyuan knew him well enough, because he grasped the general trend of the world, and in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were earth-shattering. Jiwagou.Even so, Zhang Qiyuan still pinpointed his fatal spot and almost made him doomed. It is indeed a bit scary for this kind of person to grow up lazily.

Similarly, he understood Zhong Lirui's thoughts, he was worried that Zhang Qiyuan would become a strong enemy and be defeated by Hedong, but he must not say that this guy is incompetent just because of this.

However, he was reluctant to adopt the strategy of intercepting and killing in advance. It would also be difficult to say that Zhang Qiyuan had surrendered to the enemy. It would only cover Zhang Qiyuan with a veil of mystery.

After all, Zhang Qiyuan had an innocence as an official, and he was a minister with means and ability. He had experienced two concubines, the real and the fake, and after the defeat in Hedong, the North and South alliances were good. It was easy to form conspiracy theories, which was what he feared the most.

He wants to completely convince Zhang Qiyuan to surrender to the enemy, so that no one in future generations will question him, no one dares to question him, and he will completely drive this guy into the endless hell.

Of course, risks definitely exist. As a privy direct bachelor, Zhang Qiyuan has a certain degree of understanding of the Song Dynasty's military administration, and the Jurchens will inevitably adjust their deployment to cause certain damage to the Song Dynasty.

But so what?There are advantages and disadvantages. If you can't see the disadvantages, you will shrink back and give up the great benefits. It's still the same sentence. In the face of absolute strength, everything is a chicken and a dog.

Zhong Lirui insisted on his point of view. From his point of view, Zhang Qiyuan knew the imperial court too well. He must not let this guy reach Jurchen. Killing him on the way is the best way. He resolutely said: "Master, we must not let Xueshi Zhang go." Going north, he is too much of a threat to the imperial court, and he should cut the mess quickly."

The implication is very clear, to ask Wang Xiu not to put his family and country in danger for his own selfishness, this is just a tactful way of saying it.

Wang Xiu understood that if he didn't persuade Zhong Lirui, his plan would be difficult to implement, so he said patiently: "Uncle Yong, what kind of harm will it cause if you expose the power of the imperial court to the captives?"

"Know the root and know the bottom, ask for a price." Zhong Lirui said without hesitation.

Wang Xiu frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Then let him ask for the price. The court will undergo new changes five years later, so what can they do?"

Zhong Lirui was taken aback, he was not a fool, everything had to make sense, and Wang Xiu clearly said the truth.With the rapid development of the Great Song Dynasty, it will be another scene five years later. The Jurchens' conservative policies cannot keep up with the pace of the Great Song Dynasty. Even if Zhang Qiyuan brought the information, so what?out-of-date.

However, he was still not reconciled, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Xueshi Zhang has a deep understanding of the government and the public, and he is friendly with all civil servants and generals."

When it came to the understanding of people, Wang Xiu disagreed, and said slowly: "Otherwise, there will be a large number of newcomers in the imperial court, outstanding people are growing up, and will be used in succession in a few years, even you and I will be eliminated by them sooner or later. Do you think Zhang Zichu knows how to improve the military and simplify the administration, and know my next plan?"

Zhong Liqiu was stunned. It was Wang Xiu who said to him that the army should be streamlined and the administration should be streamlined. The imperial army will be reduced again to achieve a size of 30 horse infantry guards and 18 navy guards. There are many improvement measures, and Zhang Qiyuan definitely doesn't know about them.

"Well, halfway interception is still necessary. It is his destiny to kill him."

Zhong Lirui was in a mess for a while, as if he couldn't keep up with Wang Xiu's thinking.
