Chapter 854 Standing firm in Yuzhou, it is easy to block the car with one's arms (second update)
Chapter 863

All in all, these victories are inextricably linked to Wang Yang, and don't forget that it was Wang Yang who first stood up and inferred that the Liao Kingdom recruited troops from the northern tribes, and it was very likely that they wanted to compete with the Dalai Lama. The prelude to Song's war.

"...It was also because he made countless preparations in advance that we, the Song Dynasty, were able to achieve today's victory. Therefore, I say that he has a great relationship with Wang Aiqing, do you think it is true?"

"Your Majesty's words are very good. If Wang Wushan hadn't presided over the overall situation in the land of the three states, I'm afraid that the land of the three states would not be able to last for such a long time, and the flames of war may even spread to the hinterland of Shaanxi Road. .” Liu Zhi cleared his throat and made a very pertinent evaluation.

Zhao Xu nodded in satisfaction, it seems that Liu Zhi, an old driver, is quite interesting.

Seeing Zhao Xu's expression, Liu Zhi continued. "However, Your Majesty, although our Great Song Dynasty has won successive victories, whether it is to seize Yinzhou or go deep into the hinterland of Xixia to cause chaos, it is suspected of cheating. However, the threat of the Liaoxia coalition forces is still there, and although Youzhou is managed by Mr. Wang , persisted for such a long time, but after all, the troops were weak..."

"So I think it's time to give up now..."

"Take it as soon as you see it?" Zhao Xu's face showed a slight displeasure. "I don't know what Xiang Liu meant by that. Don't you think that although I, Da Song, have the upper hand, it won't last long?"

"Your Majesty is wise. After all, Yuzhou City is not big, and it can accommodate not many troops. It has been nearly a month now, and Mr. Wang has been asking for half a general for the sake of my Great Song Dynasty. It must be the current situation in Yuzhou City. The soldiers and civilians, trapped for nearly a month, may already be miserable." Liu Zhi replied with a nod.

Here, Zhu Guangting, who had already understood Liu Zhi's intention, also jumped out, assuming a posture of caring about the country and the people, and chattering incessantly. "Now that we, the Song Dynasty, have the upper hand, as long as we, the Song Dynasty, are willing to show good will, it is equivalent to giving Xixia and Liao a step down."

Next, one after another, Wen and Wu stood up and analyzed in detail the comparison of military strength between the Song Dynasty and Liaoxia.

Today, in the land of the three states, the total strength of the Song Army is only 27, while the total number of the Liaoxia Allied Forces has reached 50.

In addition, there have been frequent frictions at Hedong Road and other border fortresses with the Liao Kingdom, which may become a prelude to the Liao Kingdom's large-scale southward march.

After all, with an army of nearly 50, there is nothing that can be done about these three states. The Liao Kingdom, which has always been arrogant, will definitely not give up and will definitely find ways to regain its face from other places.

Zhao Xu didn't take it seriously at first, but when these guys spoke up enthusiastically, Zhao Xu couldn't help hesitating. It seemed that some of these people's words were nonsense, but there were quite a few things they said that made sense.

The important thing is that Zhao Xu does not want Wang Yang, King Wushan, who is famous all over the world to be a close friend and a loyal minister, to be buried in these three states.

This also aggravated Zhao Xu's hesitation, but in the end he stabilized his emotions and slowly shook his head.

"The words of the gentlemen are indeed somewhat reasonable, but I still need to think carefully before making a decision. Well, now, let's discuss the matter of meritorious service rewards..."

"..." Liu Zhi almost wanted to swear.Seeing that the emperor was about to fool the emperor into making a peace negotiation with Liaoxia, why did the emperor suddenly wake up at the last moment.

After the court meeting was over, a group of old party leaders gathered in the residence of Prime Minister Liu Zhi.

They have all changed into regular clothes, enjoying the refreshments offered by the beautiful ladies in Liu Zhi's mansion, while discussing state affairs, from time to time, they sneak glances at the person who is playing a musical instrument not far away to add to the fun Miss Le Nu.

After Liu Zhi took a few sips of tea, before he could speak, Zhu Guangting stood up and started talking. "It's such a pity today. I watched a good opportunity slip away before my eyes."

Liu Zhi nodded in agreement. "If His Majesty grants you the right to negotiate a peace at this time, then we will have the merit of offering advice and leading the entire negotiation, but it's a pity that we missed it..."

Liu Zhi was very cunning and scheming. At the beginning, everyone agreed that Wang Wushan's defense of Nayou Prefecture was nothing more than an act of mantis blocking traffic and seeking his own death.

So at that time, the emperor anxiously sent soldiers and horses to Shaanxi Road to help in the battle, but they did not stand up to stop it, because they also knew the young emperor's aggressive character, so there was no need to confront the young emperor at that time. hate.

What's more, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are pressing down on the border. These gangsters of the old party have been planning to see if Wang Wushan will uh fart, Su Dongpo will defeat Shaanxi Road, and then they will stand up at that time Express to the emperor that there is a solution, and that is to negotiate a peace.

As a result, that stinky boy Wang Wushan has been executed in the city of Nayou all the time, firmly preventing the more than [-] people of the Liaoxia coalition army from advancing an inch.

Then, and then, Zhe Keshi went to the hinterland of Xingqing Mansion in Xixia to make troubles. Su Dongpo could also wait leisurely for the reinforcements sent by the capital to arrive. Yinzhou.

However, even so, in terms of size, the Liao, Xia and Liao troops are still dominant, and the Song Dynasty has at most formed a certain advantage in parts.

However, the source of these advantages all stemmed from the fact that Wang Wushan, a die-hard guy, bet on Youzhou and the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Song Dynasty.

Once the city of Youzhou is broken, then the Liaoxia coalition forces will no longer have any scruples, and they will burst down like a torrent. At that time, who can stop it?
For the happy and peaceful life of the tens of thousands of people in the Song Dynasty, for the safety of the Shaanxi Road in the Song Dynasty, and for the suspension of war between the three countries, so that the common people can rest and recuperate.Peace talks are necessary. Of course, Liu Zhi did not forget to remind Tian Zixu when he was in court.

That is, it is better to negotiate now than to wait for the destruction of Youzhou City. The reason for peace talks now is because Song Dynasty is occupying a certain advantage. This is the capital for negotiation.

But if the city of Youzhou is destroyed, and the military disaster rages on Shaanxi Road in the Song Dynasty, hehe, you, the emperor, may not be able to get rid of the responsibility, not to mention, your most trusted minister is the king who you hailed as the most talented man in the world. Wu Shan was squatting in Youzhou City.

If the city of Youzhou is destroyed, that guy's life will definitely not be saved. Even if it is saved, we will definitely investigate some of the culprits who caused the military disaster on the border of Shaanxi in the Great Song Dynasty.

These are probably the reasons why the Emperor Zhao Xu was most worried and almost agreed, but why he dropped the topic at the critical moment is really something that a bunch of old party bosses can't figure out even if they think about it.

"It's okay, let's not be too anxious. I really don't believe it. The Liaoxia coalition army has nearly 50 troops, and my Song Dynasty, including the Shaanxi roadside army and reinforcements, is only half of the opponent's total. Could it be that they still Can you continue to win?"
