Zhao Huan achieved this victory in seizing power. Both Zhao Ding and Zhong Shidao had a tacit understanding without asking too many questions.
A capable emperor is not a bad thing in the eyes of the warring faction, which is why Zhao Huan is more willing to stand with the warring faction at this time.
Although in the eyes of all of them, they do not want Zhao Huan to be in power alone.
But compared to others, the main lineage is more tolerant.
After a frightening night in Kaifeng, the prison was even overcrowded, and now in front of Zhao Huan was Bai Shizhong, one of the masterminds of the rebellion.
"The Bai Qing family, I can still call you that. I wonder if the Bai Qing family wants to tell me anything now?"
Looking at Bai Shizhong in front of him, Zhao Huan still kept a smile on his face, not arrogant because he was the winner.
Of course, the most important thing is not to let Zhao Dingzhong Shidao and others think that Zhao Huan is too frivolous. The civil strife has just been calmed down, and the Jin army will appear outside at any time.
If he is too frivolous and disappoints them, his role as emperor will really come to an end.
Thinking of this matter, Zhao Huan once again complained silently in his heart.
"Is it so hard to be an emperor these days?"
Bai Shizhong didn't care what Zhao Huan was thinking in his heart. He just looked at Zhao Huan's smiling face and snorted without saying anything.
With this look, to be honest, Zhao Huan really felt helpless. If he hadn't experienced it personally, he would have felt that he had wronged a loyal minister and good general.
"What's the point of Bai Qing's insistence? You must know that you are committing the crime of assassinating me and treason. Not to mention that I don't want to abide by the rules now. Even if someone forces me to abide by the ancestral precepts of the Great Song Dynasty, you will die! "
Bai Shizhong also knew that Zhao Huan was telling the truth. It was not a lie that the Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats, but there were many who made life worse than death.
Now Zhao Huan's eyes were looking directly at Bai Shizhong, which made him feel a little nervous, but he thought that even if Zhao Huan wanted to take action, he would need a few more days.
That's when his life came.
"Your Majesty will kill you if you want. I am doing it for the country and the country of the Song Dynasty, and for the sake of the world. I will die without regrets!"
Seeing Bai Shizhong being so persistent, Zhao Huan nodded helplessly and waved his hand for Tong Guan to take him away, so as not to be an eyesore in front of him.
After Bai Shizhong left, Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ding and others beside him and asked softly.
"If Bai Shizhong's veins are cleaned out as quickly as possible, how long will it take?"
"Four days at the fastest!" Yu Wenxuzhong is worthy of being a direct minister. With this unhesitating attitude, Zhao Huan suspected that this guy had already figured out the plans of many forces in the dynasty and was waiting to be liquidated. .
"Four days, that is to say, Bai Shizhong can live for four days in my hands. What do you think makes him still have such unrealistic illusions?"
Zhao Huan is not a fool. Bai Shizhong is willing to die. Isn't that nonsense? His persistence can only mean one thing.
He still wants to live!
And he still has a chance to survive!
This time Zhao Huan set his sights on veteran Zhong Shidao.
"Old husband, what do you think his chances are now?"
"Jin Man!" Zhong Shidao was also very happy, "No one in the Song Dynasty can save him. Now he can only rely on foreign enemies. Xixia is lingering, and only the Jin Man can save him."
Zhong Shidao's words made Zhao Ding and others nod silently, acknowledging the statement, but Zhao Huan finally sighed.
"I can't wait to kill him now!"
"We think so too, but there are countless people who want to kill Bai Shizhong at this time." Zhao Ding's words made everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The biggest reason why Bai Shizhong is still alive now is because Zhao Huanjunchen wants to find out from him what wrongdoing he has done over the years.
Who else can be used?
This was not the result of Zhao Huan's soft-heartedness, which delayed the party struggle for so many years. All the officials from top to bottom of the Song Dynasty were not involved in it.
For example, among those around Zhao Huan now, including Zhao Ding, Yu Wenxuzhong and even Zhong Shidao, none of them have ever served under the Six Thieves.
As one of the powerful officials who replaced the Six Thieves, Bai Shizhong has extremely high power and prestige.
After all, as the current prime minister, Bai Shizhong's power is not as powerful as that of another prime minister, Li Bangyan, but he is also a prominent figure in the court. Such a person can really affect the whole body with one move.
From the court to the local area, it is spread in all aspects. Zhao Huan is now broken in the court, but the place is not good.
There is no hope north of the Yellow River. After five major construction projects on the Yellow River, Zhao Huan's ancestors completely destroyed the Yellow River. Now the only hope for the Song Dynasty is south of the Yangtze River.
The Central Plains and even the North provide disaster relief almost every year, which is a big drag that cannot be discarded. If a one-size-fits-all approach comes at this time, Zhao Huan guarantees that Yang Yao in Dongting Lake will be able to provide it for him the next day.
Then he took over the land south of the Yangtze River and proclaimed himself emperor, and then he could be declared dead on the spot.
So Bai Shizhong must die, but now he can't die. If he dies, he will either be killed or let go. This is simply too wasteful for Zhao Huan who is in such a situation.
"If Bai Shizhong's chance to save his life will come within four days, then where do you think it will be?"
"The Jin army is now increasing again. Yanshan Mansion has lost most of it. Yanjing is facing the enemy. Zongze in Cizhou will also receive reinforcements from the Jin army, and Hedong is the most dangerous.
Taiyuan has been lost and is now in dilapidated condition. Zhe Kexing is also dead. Now Hedong Road is in chaos, all forces are in chaos, and the entire Hedong Road army can be said to be in ruins.
If the Jin people come, there may be problems with the soldiers and horses on Hedong Road.
But...."
"But even so, they can't arrive here within a few days, or completely destroy Hedong Road." Zhao Huan said the next words for him, "If the opponent's troops are not divided into three groups but four. Where is the road?"
At this time, Zhao Huan thought of another thing.
Another thing happened during this time period in history, which completely established the defeat of the Song Dynasty.
That was the defeat of Moutuogang.
It's not considered a defeat, because Mou Tuogang didn't fight at all!
In the past hundred years, the Song Dynasty relied on the method of cross-border trade to open up roads bit by bit, and created the Moutuogang Horse Breeding Land, which contained a full 20,000 war horses.
This was the hope of the Song Dynasty. If it had not been for the lack of suitable cavalry generals and people who were proficient in training cavalry, these war horses would have been used long ago.
It's just that a very embarrassing thing happened in history.
That was when the Song and Jin Dynasties were fighting, Moutuogang was attacked and won in one battle.
The most abominable thing is that when Moutuogang was captured by the Jin people, the first thing Song Dynasty thought of was not to fight desperately to get the horses back, and of course it was not to surrender directly.
In history, Nie Song, a young minister of Dali, offered his advice to prevent the Cai River and Bian River from merging to irrigate Moutuogang, hoping that the Jin people would be drowned directly...
What kind of weird strategy is this? The most ridiculous thing in history is that Zhao Huan agreed!
Then the Song Dynasty used a knife on the tributary of the Yellow River for the last time, not to mention Kaifeng's defense was broken, but it had no impact on the Jin people, because they moved the camp to the mountains, and then everything was fine .
Now that Bai Shizhong gritted his teeth and refused to speak, Zhao Huan couldn't help but think about this matter.
"What if the Jin people arrive not from three armies, but from four parties?"
"Four directions?" Zhong Shidao was also stunned by Zhao Huan's statement, "Why did your majesty say that? If there is an army from all directions, where will the other army attack?"
"The first two armies were to be divided into two groups, one to attack Hedong Road and the other to attack Yanshan Road. This has opened up the situation, but now the two armies have been hit again and it is difficult to advance quickly.
Hebei Road was originally regarded as a branch of Hedong Road. Now that Zongze has stabilized the situation, there is a problem here.
The partial divisions joined the reinforcements and became the main force, which caused us to face the three battlefields of Yanjing, Taiyuan, and Cizhou at the same time.
King Qin's army has not yet arrived. If a surprise force can break into Kaifeng City at this time..."
"The city of Kaifeng is strong. I am waiting for everyone to work together. It is difficult for a surprise force to be effective."
"But what if their goal is not Kaifeng City, but other places?" Zhao Huan said softly, "For example, Moutuogang!"
"Motuogang!" Zhong Shidao also reacted at this time, and laughed after exclaiming in a low voice, "If they really dare to attack Moutuogang, it will be an opportunity.
Although we seem to be safe now, before King Qin's army came to Kaifeng, we were still considered to have few soldiers and horses.
At this time, facing the large-scale attack of the Jin army, they were somewhat stretched. This is why the Jin people used a large army to suppress the situation even though they had the advantage of cavalry.
Because it is the most reliable and most useful.
But if they give up this method and directly raid Kaifeng or Moutuogang, then we can follow the trend. "
"Does the old husband want to set up an ambush in Moutuogang?"
"If it were just an ambush, it might not be effective. Since the opponent wants to make a surprise attack this time, they will definitely use cavalry.
Under an ambush, the Kaifeng Forbidden Army may not be able to win now, and they may even be killed by the Jin people. At that time, we will really have a big problem. "
"What if we can't ambush?"
"Dig for water and fill it with water!"
"What?" Zhao Huan was stunned... Digging for water... Why does this thing sound so familiar?
"The water from the Dicai River and the Bian River will be irrigated into Moutuogang, and they will be completely wiped out in one fell swoop!"
Zhao Huan looked at Master Zhongdao in front of him and listened to his suggestions.
Okay, these words are more familiar.
