Zhongzhou, the imperial city.
Maha paced back and forth at the door of the imperial study. At this time, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. Looking at Song Jingshu who was calm and composed in the imperial study, he finally couldn't hold back and walked in: "Your Highness, now The entire capital is under siege by Song Jingrong."
He seemed to have thought of something extremely resentful, and gritted his teeth and continued: "And Liu Xiangchen, he is such a treacherous villain. Not only did he steal Liu Qingge's Liu family, but he actually betrayed us! The information we got from Tianji Pavilion before should Most of it is fake news.”
"Mohe, what's the point of being anxious now? We still want to see what chess pieces we have available."
Hearing this, Maha was even more dissatisfied: "King Zhao, if it weren't for the Crown Princess, she might have betrayed her long ago."
Song Jingshu sneered: "Since I married Zhao Ziqing, and now I have promoted Zhao Ziqing to the position of crown princess, the relationship between King Zhao and us will definitely be stable. Coupled with the power in my father's hands, I believe that We will resolve this crisis very quickly."
His analysis was not generally optimistic. Mahake could not listen to a word and reminded: "Your Highness, have you forgotten Leng Wushuang? If he does not come to the capital to relieve the siege, I am afraid that we will be besieged until the food road is exhausted. We are just turtles in a urn.”
"Leng Wushuang?" Song Jingshu snorted coldly and said: "Mohe, you have been following me for so long and you haven't even seen through this little thing? Then Leng Wushuang would be fine if he didn't take advantage of the situation. There is no way he could come to help us out. .”
"How is it possible? Your Majesty personally wrote the imperial edict to Leng Wushuang. It took so many of our brothers to die to bring the edict to Leng Wushuang. How could he not come to save him?" Maha said curiously.
"If he wanted to come, he could have come a long time ago. But apart from the daily military intelligence reports, Leng Wushuang has been doing this for so long. When did he want to come and join the game?" Song Jingshu said disdainfully.
"Your Highness, we have sacrificed so many brothers, so what's the point of asking Leng Wushuang to come forward?" Maha really didn't understand.
I thought that everything would go smoothly if Emperor Ming of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to Leng Wushuang, but the current situation was beyond his control. It was just that Leng Wushuang did not cross the Hengshui River to rescue him. Five days passed and he still did not rush. Come to Shangjing to rescue you.
"Without this drama, how can we know who is the enemy and who is the friend?" Song Jingshu continued with a posture of looking down at the world: "What your Highness wants is the people's support in the world. Folks say that Your Highness uses red pills to control his father." The emperor has been emperor for a long time, but now the person who colludes with Beimo is Song Jingrong, what do you think the people of the world will think of Song Jingrong!"
Maha suddenly understood: "Your Highness, this move is to put yourself to death and survive?"
"That's right, it means risking one's life and resurrecting one's life. There will be many helpers when one is in good ways, and there will be no help when one is in bad ways. I don't think I need to explain this truth." Song Jingshu's eyes were as cold as a cold light, and his eyes were as sharp as a weapon, looking down upon the world.
"Does His Majesty the Crown Prince have any plans?" Surprise flashed across Maha's expression.
Song Jingshu asked: "Who provided the food and grass that Song Jingrong uses now?"
Maha rolled his eyes.
The Liu family had cooperated with King Zhao before, and the Liu family had stored a large amount of food. That large amount of military rations was not used even when the Liu family helped the refugees.
In whose hands will this large amount of food and grass be held?
There is only one answer. The grain and grass must have arrived at Song Jingrong's place early in the morning. Without such a large amount of grain and grass, what capital would Song Jingrong have to fight against the prince who already had a large amount of military grain?
"Your Highness, this food and grass must be provided by the Liu family. The Liu family has always cooperated with the Zhao family. Although the Liu family was an imperial merchant and had a large amount of food, more of the food was in the national treasury as war preparation supplies. Even if the Liu family was Imperial Merchant, these grains have just been handed over once."
"If the Liu family wants to hoard food, they can only do it elsewhere, such as King Zhao, who they had close cooperation with before. Did His Highness have any influence on that business deal with the Liu family?"
Song Jingshu curled up his lips and said: "Yes, there is not much food that can be eaten now. According to my speculation, Song Jingrong and the others can only last for one day. If you ask Bei Mo for food and grass, will Bei Mo do it?" Will it be given to Song Jingrong?"
Maha thought for a while and said: "They are still allies after all. They should give Song Jingrong some food and salary, but they will definitely not be given for no reason. After all, Beimo and Zhongzhou have no friendly relations. Now they choose to cooperate. It’s just profit.”
"Yes, so we just need to wait patiently for a few days. Although our food and salary are not much, we only need more than Song Jingrong and the group of Beimo people combined. What's more, their army is far larger than ours. Number of people. We now occupy the Imperial City and several cities around the Imperial City. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"After so many days, I want to see how Leng Wushuang will act. Will he choose to rebel directly, or continue to do some useless things to kill time with that group of people. By then, Leng Wushuang will not only be spending time... Time wears away people's hearts. After I have gained a lot of people's support, don't you think Zhongzhou is still in my possession?"
Maha did not expect that Song Jingshu had such a clever plan, and immediately praised: "In war, the most important thing is to attack the heart."
"It's natural that we have been fighting for so long. Are we fighting for the world? Yes, but no. What we are fighting for more is the people's hearts. As long as the people's hearts are with us, we will never lose, Song Jing Shu revolted in the name of the so-called Qing Dynasty, but now he has pushed himself into a desperate situation."
"Your Highness, you are right." Maha praised.
"Your Royal Highness, Xue Liankang would like to see you." The guard outside the door reported.
Song Jingshu sneered and said, "Xuan."
Not long after, Xue Liankang came in. His face was calm, and he seemed not to be worried about today's situation at all. When he saw Song Jingshu, he bowed and said, "Your Highness."
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Brother Lian Kang came to see me now. It shouldn't be about chatting about family matters."
"Your Highness, Emperor Song Ming's body can't hold on much longer." Xue Liankang said seriously.
"Oh? He can't die now. Please take the trouble to let him live for a few more days. If he dies now, I'm afraid there will be some trouble." Song Jingshu frowned.
"If I use special means now, Emperor Song Ming will never be able to wake up again." Xue Liankang said.
"Huh, what does he need to wake up? Brother Liankang, what are you here for? Don't tell anyone that I'm here to tell you whether or not this is true."
Xue Liankang's expression did not change and he said calmly: "It's nothing, I just want to confirm with His Highness the Prince."
"Wait!"
