Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 865 Wang Xiu's Power

He was really disappointed with Zhao Ding. This upright and loyal minister in his impression was a little too selfish and too persistent in big issues, which was also the main cause of tragedies in history.Qin Hui has an impartial attitude, but his power is flourishing day by day, and he is gradually getting better at playing balance. Is Zhao Ding's fate really inevitable?
Don't talk about Qin Hui's possible shot, if it continues, he really can't help but want to make a shot.

Lu Haowen is a very practical person. He doesn't care what you think, but what you are doing. On the contrary, he said loudly: "Shaanxi and along the river are all dangerous to defend. It is not difficult to defend against the enemy, but Wushu coerced The Taishang Zi Palace is here, what should we do if a large army crosses the river?"

This is the key point. The Jurchens are demonstrating and blackmailing, but once they want to cross the river and approach the river, will they resist or wait and see?No one dares to make a conclusion. After all, the North and the South have been fighting for more than ten years, and there is no new appointment between them.

The Jin army is likely to take advantage of the problem and launch an offensive against Kaifeng, or it may take a flank offensive and go directly to Henan through Mengzhou.Regardless of the war, people occupy the moral peak of public opinion, and even Zhao Ding and others who advocate the War of Resistance are uncertain whether to advocate or not.

It is one thing to say it, but another thing to do it. The key is how to stop it. The core is to send troops to fight?

"What does Lord Wang think?"

When Li Gang's words came, everyone stopped discussing, and their eyes fell on Wang Xiu. He was caught off guard, and secretly scolded Li Gang for being a jerk.Wouldn't it be better for me to clean up the mess when you're done arguing?You have to pull me into the water at a critical moment.

However, as Prime Minister, he had to make a statement, cleared his throat, and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing to be afraid of when Wu Shu goes south. The imperial court's greatest trouble lies in the northwest."

Zhao Chen's complexion was very ugly. It was as if he hadn't said this. It was true that the Jurchens went south, but there was no party member to besiege Pingqiang City imminently. He said bluntly: "The prince said."

"Obviously, the captives are just trying to contain the imperial court and want to gain some advantage. It's because they didn't take advantage of the signing of the covenant last time. Your Majesty can take this opportunity to claim back the Taishang Zi Palace." Wang Xiu paused, feeling very sad. It's uncomfortable, and his son has to recognize someone else, which is really unacceptable, but for the sake of the future, he endured it.

"Oh, so what?" Zhao Chen was finally a little interested, welcoming Zigong back is no small matter!
Tan Shiji nodded, and said, "I remember that Lord Wang once predicted today's situation and asked Du to participate in the military division to conduct a deduction."

"Exactly." Wang Xiu smiled lightly, her face was very calm, since she intervened in advance, she simply took matters into her own hands, and won all the battles and advances and retreats with a promise.

"Then don't let Taiwei Liu go to the palace." Li Gang was so happy that he even forgot the face of the emperor.

Li Gang's old man has no eyes on the emperor, Zhao Chen feels even worse, his face is so gloomy that he is about to drip, but he can't be willful, so he can only say: "Then declare him to the palace."

Only then did everyone understand that when Wang Xiu was still in Hangzhou and Cai Yi had just left office, Zhong Lirui and Liu Guangshi presided over a secret war game. All participants were sealed and the result was sealed as top secret. Only a few ministers of the Privy Council understood. But I didn't expect to deal with the third-line combat deduction.

Today, the war game deduction conducted by the Division of the Dujun Army has been approved by the two governments, and it is officially included in the system of the Forbidden Army.Calculate the politics, folk customs, military power, terrain, etc., set the emergencies under various conditions, and the final result, and determine the best decision-making plan for the two governments.

Wang Xiu made up his mind and took on everything with all his strength. At this time, his eyes were a little cold and handsome. Qin Hui was nothing but an ally, and he couldn't have too much hope. It's just that Cai Yi and Shen Mo were too unconfident, which made him a little disappointed.

When Liu Guang came to the palace and brought the results of the war game deduction, everyone's eyes lit up. All kinds of emergencies and coping strategies were in order. In the end, it was decided that the Jurchens would never start a war rashly, as long as the war in the northwest was controlled within two years. , the Jurchens will even take a share.

The final result of the Northwest War was not a contest between the Song Dynasty and the party members, but a contest with the Jurchens.

For nothing else, the Jurchens had to solve the huge interests of the grassland, even more important than going south, and the party item is the key to completely solving the grassland issue. Without controlling the party members, the grassland cannot be truly stabilized.

This is also Wang Xiu's point of view. Some tribes in the grassland are the key to his future strategy, and he wants to implement the goal of expulsion and massacre. It is impossible to achieve it without taking Hexi. This is a heavyweight chess piece to break the general trend of the world. .

It has to be said that the party members are very tragic. On the chessboard of the north-south war, they have become the focus of both sides' attention, and they were successfully planned by Zhang Qiyuan to take a key step, which triggered the early activation of the war machine in the Song Dynasty.

"This battle must be fought cleanly. Use Pingqiang City to attract [-] to [-] percent of the party's forces, and then concentrate the four camps and nine armies on the edge of the Western Guards, two armies in front of the palace, and the six-way township army. Make every effort to attack on the road, fight for two or three battles, completely defeat the main force of the party, and the captives will not be afraid to send troops when the time comes."

Wang Xiu's eyes sparkled, her tone was unquestionably decisive, and she said in a deep voice: "The matter is of great importance. For the sake of completeness, I suggest that we set up a disposal department in Kaifeng. I personally control the two armies, and select capable ministers to send envoys to the captives. stronghold."

"As long as we can delay the outbreak of the captives, and our army can recommend the main force of the left wing of the Sheng Qiang, great things will be settled."

"The captive wants to cross the river, what can I do?" Zhao Ding asked ignorant of current affairs.

Wang Xiu glanced at Zhao Ding, her eyes were full of disdain, and said lightly, "If you dare to come, you must be prepared to lose."

Zhao Ding heaved a sigh of relief, and resolutely kept silent.He could hear Wang Xiu's determination to fight, which he was very willing to hear, and he was the first to say it, which made him feel relieved.

It should be said that all the important officials in the hall were relieved that someone finally bears the consequences of the war. No matter what the outcome is, it has nothing to do with everyone.

"Then, if war breaks out, how can the Taishang Zi Palace be preserved?" Zhao Chen was a little out of breath. He didn't want Wang Xiu to be so arrogant that he would ignore the Zi Palace and put him, the emperor, where would he put the world of the Zhao family?

Now that Wang Xiu has made up his mind, he didn't worry about the Niaozi Palace. It's just a coffin, and it's a big joke for Song Xingchao, who holds the world's sharpest soldiers, to be afraid. What's the matter?The Zhao family guarded against him, and he did his best. Since ten years ago, he has been worthy of the Zhao family and started to fight for himself.

If the person sitting on the throne was not of his blood, he had to bear it back and said nothing, just for this, for the persecution last time, the throne should be replaced.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Taishang Zi Palace will not be destroyed."

"Once the battle breaks out, how can we keep it safe? What will the prince do?" Zhao Chen opened his eyes and glared at Wang Xiu angrily. He would never give up his only dignity.

In the main hall, swords were on the verge of breaking out, and everyone was silent.
