Zhao Huan called his names repeatedly and didn't even bother to continue chatting with Yao Pingzhong.
I just told him that the opportunity to counterattack had arrived.
Just such a sentence made Yao Pingzhong so excited that he couldn't help himself. He is a pure person and he is also a pragmatic person.
If he has to pay the price for the counterattack, he will definitely escape, but if he needs to counterattack the Jinren, he will never back down.
Soon, many officials whose names were called by Zhao Huan rushed to Zhao Huan one after another.
Looking at these people, they are basically his ministers for the next period of time, and they are also the people who can be used among the main war faction.
Of course, in history, they were all loyal ministers of their bastard son, and they could be regarded as the mainstay in the early battles with the Jin people.
The one he valued most was Cao Zhao Ding, a scholar in Kaifeng Prefecture. He served as prime minister twice in history. During his tenure, he promoted Luo Xue and consolidated power. He was known as "Xiao Yuanyou".
At the same time, he was one of the twenty-four heroes of Zhaoxun Pavilion. Together with Li Gang, Hu Quan, and Li Guang, he was known as the four ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was also called the first wise prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty.
It advocates nourishing the people's strength and stabilizing the foundation. During his time in office, he strategized and turned the tide, and he truly lived up to his name.
"Before, I asked you to sit down and wait for news. Now that the battle report has come, Cizhou's occupation is temporarily stable. Zongze did not let me down. At this time, Liu Hao, the doctor of Xiangzhou Wuyi, and Zong Qing came to report.
Although the war situation is still very tense, it is no longer possible for the Jin people to quickly destroy our Song Dynasty with their current strength.
At the same time, the civil strife in the Kingdom of Jin has subsided after the death of Wanyan Aguda. Now Wanyan Wu has stabilized the situation. His younger brother Wanyan Gao is the acquaintance of Banbo Jilie. Wanyan Zongqian, the eldest son of Jin Taizu's concubine, knows the state affairs. Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang Premier Military.
The overall situation has been decided, and we will be able to attack the Song Dynasty in the near future. However, Guo Yaoshi, the sixteen states of Yanyun in the north, is wavering. Taiyuan is lost and cannot be recaptured. Although Cizhou is stable, the prime minister of the DPRK prevents the dispatch of troops and refuses to give money or food.
What should we do now? Do you have a plan? "
Zhao Ding and others looked at each other after hearing this. While excited, they also knew that the current situation was indeed very fatal.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" The first person to speak was none other than Zhao Ding.
"It would be great for Your Majesty to fight against the Kingdom of Jin now, but now His Majesty is troubled by internal and external troubles, and has no food, soldiers, horses, or powerful generals in his hands.
Therefore, Your Majesty needs to make double preparations. "
"My dear, please tell me what kind of preparations I need to make."
"First, fight to the death!"
"Second, negotiate peace!"
After Zhao Ding finished speaking, he looked at everyone's puzzled looks and immediately explained without saying any nonsense.
"Although I don't want to admit it, we no longer have any initiative at all. What we choose at this time depends entirely on the Jin people's decision.
If the Jin people are now ready for a large-scale attack and vow to destroy the Song Dynasty, then this matter will be simple.
Emperor Daojun will definitely go as far as he can and will definitely not turn back to Kaifeng. Many ministers in Kaifeng City also knew their helplessness after seeing that Emperor Daojun refused to return.
Even though they were unwilling, without the support of the Dao Lord and Emperor, the only thing they could do was to hand over power to save their lives, and at the last moment, they could accompany His Majesty to move south or simply surrender to the Jin people.
However, they will not continue to hold on, because at that time, the army of King Qin from all over the world will swarm forward, and they have the ancestral method to protect themselves, so they don't have to worry about death.
As long as they don't rebel, they are perfectly safe.
After all... After all, things like rabbits dying and foxes grieving are still very important. Your Majesty also knows that the Song Dynasty cannot be separated from the governance of these guys, at least until a replacement is found, it cannot be separated from them.
At this time, we can only summon the army of Qinwang in the world, fight to the death, and continue to fight to the death.
The soldiers from Cizhou and other five states withdrew, abandoned the northern lands, completely returned to Kaifeng, and fought to the end, that's all.
Secondly, the Jin people do not intend to destroy us in one fell swoop. This is actually the most troublesome part.
Because they only need to express that they do not destroy the foundation of our Song Dynasty, then many officials in our Song Dynasty will think that this matter is nothing more than ceding land and paying annual coins as usual.
It's not impossible to send envoys to be more humble.
So we will fall into endless civil strife, and even they will invite Emperor Daojun back after the peace negotiation. By then, Kaifeng City will be really lively.
But this is also the opportunity I have been waiting for.
Your Majesty must know that before fighting against the outside world, one must first settle down at home.
If there are just some thieves, even if they are the Taihang Mountain giant bandit Wang Shan, or the Taihu water thief Yang Yao, even if they have more than 100,000 people under their command, it will be of little use.
They don't have much food in their hands, and their troops are only good and bad. No matter how many warriors they have, they are still unable to make progress. In addition, they don't want to be bullied by the Jin people and corrupt officials.
In the final analysis, it is not impossible.
But things are different in this court now. If you are not careful, it will be an endless abyss.
As far as everyone present is concerned, His Majesty may feel uncomfortable hearing this, but I still want to say it.
If Emperor Daojun says that he will fight against the Jin people, he will fight to the death!
Among the people present, I am afraid that many people will turn to Emperor Daojun. After all, His Majesty ascended the throne... It was too hasty, so now there are no confidants available, and everything is restricted. That is also... There is no way around it.
In such a situation, the Jin people are not unwise people. They have not increased their troops in Cizhou until now. It can only be said that they have begun to express their wishes.
They did not intend to overthrow the Song Dynasty, and this is why Mr. Bai Shizhong and others dared to be so presumptuous..."
"So, I can only negotiate for peace?"
"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say!" Zhao Ding interrupted Zhao Huan's helplessness and loss, "First of all, Your Majesty needs to know why the Jin people have stopped attacking even though they have the ability to destroy the Song Dynasty.
There are two reasons for this!
First, although our Song Dynasty is weak, there are countless loyal and courageous people. If it comes to a desperate battle, they will lose a lot of vitality. At the same time, not to mention the Xixia people, there are also many problems behind them. They dare not gamble.
Secondly, they have not completely solved my pioneer of the Song Dynasty. Although Tong Guan's redemption of Yan Yun was a bit nonsense and a bit embarrassing, it had no effect in the end.
But I have to say that this incident was a turning point for me in the Song Dynasty.
That is Pharmacist Guo who is currently stationed at Yanyun Mansion!
This person is stationed in Yanyun Mansion and is not trusted by the Great Song Dynasty, but he also does not reassure the Jin people. In addition, although this guy has a bad character, his ability is really good.
When the remnants of the Liao Kingdom resurrected, it was Pharmacist Guo who single-handedly put down the rebellion. With his strong power now, the Victory Army already numbered 50,000 people, while the local soldiers were said to number 300,000.
This person is ambitious and disobeys the king. If he is used, he needs to be on guard at all times, but he can be used to quell our internal and external troubles in the Song Dynasty.
First of all, what His Majesty needs is time. Pharmacist Guo also has Lu Yihao and Lu Gong as military counselor, so he has not completely lost contact.
The Yanjing Mansion is always a threat to the Jin Kingdom on its side. We might as well give up the Yanjing Mansion to delay time and quell the internal troubles! "
"Yanjing Mansion...it will be difficult to get it back again."
"But otherwise we can't protect the Yanjing Mansion!" Zhao Ding also sighed at this time, "Back then, we had gained land and lost people, and we had not yet captured all the Yanyun land, so its dangerous places were just decorations.
If it were Zongze Shangke who was stationed at Yanjing Mansion at this time, but it was Guo Yaoshi who was stationed at Yanjing Mansion. Once the war went badly, his first thought would be to surrender to the Jin Kingdom, and he might even harm Lu. male.
So it is better to give up, but before giving up Yanjing Mansion, you must make full use of them.
At the very least, we must protect Lu Gong, and then use Lu Gong to stabilize Guo Yaoshi's soldiers.
It would be best if Medicine Master Guo could return. If not, it would be absolutely impossible for this army to be given to the Jin people.
At the same time, we will use Pharmacist Guo to stabilize the Jin people, delay as much time as possible for us, and then release the news so that many ministers in the court can welcome Emperor Daojun back to Kaifeng...to completely seize power! "
Zhao Ding is worthy of being called the wise prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He can fight and make peace, and he does everything for the future of the Song Dynasty. This is not a simple angry young man, but a real mastermind.
"How sure is Zhao Qing?"
"It depends on how much power your Majesty has in your hands?"
"This person is our fierce general of the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Frontier General Yao Pingzhong. At the same time, I can also call Zong Ze back at any time, and he also has a troop of troops under his command.
In addition, after everyone present heard these words today, Zhao Qing probably wouldn't worry about them joining his father's army. "
"We are loyal and courageous people of the Song Dynasty. Now that His Majesty has the heart to inspire the Song Dynasty, we naturally cannot miss this opportunity. Of course, in order to make His Majesty feel more at ease, I have already told Zaifu about our entry into the palace. Bai Shizhong.
At the same time, Tong Guan was asked to seal off the inside and outside of the imperial city. Even if you go out to find Mr. Bai now, he will not trust anyone.
There is no need to elaborate on the pros and cons of this. "
As soon as Zhao Ding finished speaking, everyone's brows could not help but frown, but there was no noise. Those who came here today also knew what they were going to do. Although it was inappropriate to do such a thing, it was not No.
"In the future, you, Zhao Ding, need to prepare a banquet for me and others to toast and apologize!"
Qin Hui's official position is not the highest, but he is the most clever. He took up the topic immediately and relaxed the atmosphere.
"Haha... If His Majesty can accomplish such a big thing this time, why shouldn't we wait!"
"Report!" While everyone was discussing, Tong Guan entered again, "General Zongze personally sent the battle report, please take a look at it."
