I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 299 Passive and Active

Di Qing didn't notice that when he said these words, everyone was paying attention to him, even his expressions were carefully watched.

"Hanchen, do you have any unfinished words? At this time, we are just spectators, and we are also chatting, not a formal performance, nor an imperial court."

Although what was said in his mouth was small talk, the scene where Fu Bi was interrogating alone and no one else interrupted was simply the court's interrogation rules.

Di Qing looked around, looked at everyone, and focused on Mr. Lu's face...

Lu Gong nodded indifferently... He understood that Di Qing had guessed the result.But it doesn't matter, it will be revealed in just three days.

Let the husbands know clearly one day earlier, and make preparations one day earlier.

"Master Hui, Qing judges that the soldiers of the guard battalion are likely to wipe out the Xixia warriors on the third day, or within three days!"

This should be affirmative, or this is the strategy set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

In fact, Zhao Xi didn't make such a request, he just asked for more insults to Xixia, and as for the means, directly hand them over to the people below... They should also take care of it.

Annihilating the Xixia warriors was a strategy jointly formulated by the guard battalion's instructors and commanders.

This……

Whether it was Fu Bi, Han Qi, or Zeng Gongliang, Ouyang Xiu, and Bao Zheng, when they heard the word Quanjian, they all became serious, and they didn't have any intention of watching the fun.

Guochao fought against Xixia and wiped out fifty Xixia warriors. This is to be reported as a great victory...

The point is that although the imperial court is preparing to fight against the bandits, it is still only in the preparatory stage after all.And once the posthouse wiped out fifty Xixia warriors, it meant that the battle against Xixia was imminent.

"Where is Your Highness?"

Han Qi's voice improved a bit.

"Master Hui, in the East Palace."

I don't care about it, or there is no need to care about it here. At this time, His Royal Highness must tell the whole story.

For such a big event, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually planned it alone, and then dragged the court into the situation he needed little by little, and had to deal with it according to his wishes...

Mrs. Duan gave birth, and the mother and daughter are safe.As long as Zhao Xi was in Bianliang, he would stay in the inner garden when his wife gave birth.

Can't help much, that's what it means.

There are already four or five sons, and there is no girl yet. When he heard that the Duan family gave birth to a daughter, he felt very happy... He has always been envious of having a daughter since his previous life.

"Your Highness, the officials called His Highness to the Chui Gong Hall...Your Highness, the ministers seem to have rushed over from the post house, but there have been no casualties in the report from the Imperial City Secretary."

The little eunuch who spread the word is quite interesting...

"What's your name?"

"Return to Your Highness, young Yang Jian."

Zhao Xi was silent.The princes came back from the posthouse, there were no casualties, but they came back in a hurry... What does this mean?
"Your Highness, is the posthouse dating to wipe out the Xixia warriors?"

What's the meaning?Zhao Xi really wanted to ask, would Han Qi be in such a hurry if the soldiers of the guard battalion were wiped out in a duel, or if the imperial guards were wiped out in a duel?
Isn't it just killing dozens of Xixia warriors!

"Mr. Han, Xi is not sure. Since a fight is a matter of life or death, is there any difference between annihilation and killing one or two?"

"The soldiers of the guard battalion are fifty against fifty. If we can't wipe them out, I'll ask Gao Jingxian and Zhongyi what they have been doing all these years!"

Even if it wasn't Zhao Xi's strategy, he accepted it.He didn't think there was anything inappropriate about total annihilation.

"His Royal Highness, you are so confused! In this way, there is no room for maneuver in diplomatic relations with Xixia, and the war is imminent. Among the fifty Xixia warriors, the descendants of Xixia nobles are the majority, and even the Xixia royal family, descendants, and the Yeli family The Zang family has..."

This is a common practice. Being an envoy in the Song Dynasty is an opportunity to see the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. It has always been mixed with the noble children of Xixia.

It is said that it is knowledge, it is very likely to stimulate their plundering heart.

"Oh...Han Xianggong, Gao Jingxian, Zhong Yi, and Zheke, are they considered nobles of the country? If there are casualties in the soldiers of the country, will the court also declare war on Xixia?"

Han Qi couldn't answer this question.Obviously, even if the fifty guard battalion soldiers were wiped out, as usual, the court would not declare war on Xixia because of this.Because, only some soldiers died.

Even if it is different now, there will be a war, and it will be after everything is ready.

And Xixia... when they knew that the army was wiped out, it was the time when they gathered their troops and horses to go to the border... They were used to plundering, and they even robbed their own people and tribes.

He, Han Qi, would not lie to His Highness the Crown Prince...

"I'm not sure, are you? Then I want to ask clearly. In the same situation, why do Guochao and Xixia have different choices?"

"Your Highness, Zhigui's words are not based on Xi Xia's soldiers, but on the consideration that the imperial court is not prepared enough. Once the war starts, the people in Linfu, Qinfeng, Huanqing and other places will be suddenly impacted..."

Fu Bi helped explain.It's not that Han Qi didn't have an excuse to deal with Zhao Xi, but he himself knew why he really said these things.

He clearly remembered that when he returned to Qinzhou after the Battle of Haoshuichuan, the old woman on the side of the road asked him: You are back, where is my son?

He still can't forget that question, that is, he can't forget the war in which nearly [-] soldiers died tragically.

In a sense, the most fearful person in the court is Han Qi!
"Your Highness, fighting against Xia is no small matter. We agree with His Highness's plan and are actively preparing for it. But the appointment of a fight may lead to a hasty battle..."

Han Qi also seemed to have calmed down.After all, in the Zhengshitang, a consensus has been reached on the battle against Xia, and Duan has been busy with it recently.

"Mr. Han, my fellow ministers, do you know if Xi has something to say?"

"Your Highness, please speak frankly."

"Now that the imperial court is preparing for war, it has only reached a strategy for fighting Xia in a small area. Dare I ask, once the imperial court's many affairs are ready and the war is placed in the court for discussion, how likely is it to reach an agreement quickly? How long will it take to reach a consensus?"

"To be honest, with the current deliberation mode of the court, Xi thought it would be neat to make a decision after delaying for a month or two."

"Everyone knows the truth of losing one's strength after a vigorous effort. Then, if the court delays a month or two before agreeing to go on an expedition, for the soldiers, does it count as declining again, or exhausting three times?"

"It's even very possible that the court has been discussing for a long time, and Xixia surrendered, or some other behavior of lowering its profile, which led to the death of the entire declaration of war."

"Guochao is used to fighting passively, and is used to fighting back reasonably when others make trouble. Therefore, under the premise of already preparing for war, Xi didn't want to weaken the hearts of the soldiers of Guochao again and again, so he had to make such a bad strategy. To annihilate Xixia, so as to achieve the superficial fact that Guochao is passively fighting again."

Zhao Xi is a little impulsive today, which is also a change in his mentality.

At the moment when his daughter was born, Zhao Xi suddenly thought that according to the historical process, in a few decades, his descendants, those clan women, no matter how old or young, would be taken away by the northerners as war compensation...

He has a sense of urgency.
